In the recent past, we have been subject to the “baby shelf” rules and we may become subject to such rules again. In the event we again become subject to the “baby shelf” rules, it would limit our ability to raise additional capital to one-third of our public float in any twelve-month period.
In January 2026 we introduced STRATOS™, which was specifically designed to address markets requiring the ability to detect objects at distances of up to 1.5 kilometers, such as in aviation, defense, and rail. For STRATOS™ to be successful, it will require market adoption in industries that can benef…
In addition, we are observing increased customer demand for fully integrated, end-to-end solutions rather than discrete components. While we believe our OPTIS™ platform is designed to address this demand, the process of integrating third-party perception, analytics, and other software with our hardw…
Our investments in artificial intelligence may not yield the benefits we expect, and we may be at a disadvantage relative to competitors with greater resources to invest in artificial intelligence.
We are making, and expect to continue to make, investments in artificial intelligence to drive operational efficiency, improve the performance of our lidar and software solutions, and enhance our research and development productivity. The artificial intelligence landscape is evolving rapidly, and th…

The New Circle Purchase Agreement contains contractual limitations that may not allow us to draw all of the $50 million committed under the Purchase Agreement and to the extent we do draw under the Purchase Agreement, existing stockholders will be diluted.
On July 25, 2024, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with New Circle Principal Investments LLC, or New Circle, pursuant to which New Circle committed to purchase, subject to certain limitations, up to $50 million of our Common Stock should we elect to sell our common stock to them.

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
