Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows to be anticipated for the full year 2024 or any future period. The Company has evaluated subsequent events occurring after the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for events requiring recording or disclosure in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its significant estimates, including the valuation of accounts receivable, the lives and realization of tangible and intangible assets, contingent consideration liabilities, stock-based compensation expense, customer life, accounting for revenue recognition, contingent liabilities related to legal matters, and income taxes including deferred taxes and any related valuation allowance. In particular, the Company's contingent consideration liabilities are subject to significant estimates surrounding forecasts of certain revenues and other factors. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. In the event the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

Concentrations of Risk

Credit Risk – Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable from trade customers. The Company maintains its deposits of cash and cash equivalents atthree domestic andfour international financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by a financial institution to the extent that cash and cash equivalents are in excess of the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and other local country government agencies. The Company generally places its cash and cash equivalents with high-credit quality financial institutions. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on its cash and cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $14.2 million, $0.2 million and $4,000 deposited with the Company's three domestic financial institutions, for which only $250,000 per bank is insured under FDIC limits.

Concentration of Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets – At September 30, 2024, one customer accounted for 25% of the Company’s total accounts receivable and contract assets, net. At December 31, 2023, two customers accounted for 24% and 10%, of the Company’s total accounts receivable and contract assets, net.

Concentration of Revenues – For the three months ended September 30, 2024, two customers accounted for 23% and 11% of the Company’s total revenues. For thethree months ended September 30, 2023, two customers accounted for 24% and 9% of the Company’s total revenues. For thenine months ended September 30, 2024, two customers accounted for 25% and 11% of the Company’s total revenues. For thenine months ended September 30, 2023, two customers accounted for 25% and 9% of the Company’s total revenues.

Concentration of Suppliers – The Company relies on a limited number of suppliers and contract manufacturers. In particular, a single supplier is currently the sole manufacturer of the Company’s proprietary sensors.

The Company evaluates all Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) updates recently issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) for consideration of their applicability. Any recently issued ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to either not be applicable, or have not had, or are not expected to have, a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, except as follows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures, primarily by requiring public business entities to disclose on an annual basis, specific categories in the rate reconciliation tabular presentation, as well as by providing additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The ASU also requires disaggregated disclosures of federal, state and foreign income taxes paid. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect implementation of the new guidance to have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which enhances prior reportable segment disclosure requirements in part by requiring entities to disclose significant expenses related to their reportable segments. The guidance also requires disclosure of the Chief Operating Decision Maker's (“CODM”) position for each segment and detail of how the CODM uses financial reporting to assess their segment’s performance. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, on a retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect implementation of the new guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Revenue Related Disclosures

Note 4. Acquisitions

SafePointe, LLC

During the third quarter of 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests in SafePointe for purchase consideration of $11.4 million in cash, subject to working capital adjustments, of which $1.1 million is indemnification escrow cash, and $11.2 million in the form of 549,579 shares of the Company's common stock based on the closing price on the date of acquisition, of which $1.1 million is indemnification escrow stock. The purchase consideration also included a contingent earnout payable based on SafePointe’s revenues generated during 2023 through 2025. The Company borrowed $7.0 million under the Umpqua Credit Agreement (See Note 14, Financing Arrangements) to partially fund the purchase consideration. The acquisition date fair value of the contingent earnout was$3.0 million, resulting in a total purchase consideration of $25.6 million. Up to $11.5 million in earnout would be payable based on SafePointe’s revenues generated during the remainder of 2023 and during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025. The SafePointe acquisition was accounted for as a business acquisition in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The acquisition allows the Company to enter the AI-based weapons detection market.

The following table summarizes the assignment of fair value to the identified assets and liabilities recorded as of the acquisition date (in thousands):

The goodwill recognized was primarily attributed to increased synergies that are expected to be achieved from the integration of SafePointe and primarily represents the value of cash flows from future customers and the employee workforce. The Company expects to deduct the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets for tax purposes. A portion of the amortization deduction will commence upon settlement of contingent consideration liabilities. The Company valued the intangible assets using income-based approaches. Significant assumptions included forecasts of revenues, cost of revenues, research and development expense, sales and marketing expense, general and administrative expense, technology lives, royalty rates, working capital rates, customer attrition rates and other estimates. The Company discounted the cash flows at 20.9%, reflecting the risk profile of the assets.

The Company will amortize the acquired customer relationships for 12 years, the acquired software technology for 11 years and the acquired tradename for 9 years.

There wereno acquisition-related expenses during thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Acquisition-related expenses were $0.2 million and $0.7 million during thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and was included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The unaudited pro forma combined revenue and net loss presented below have been prepared as if the Company had acquired SafePointe on January 1, 2023 and is for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2023. The unaudited pro forma financial information has been derived from the consolidated statements of operations of the Company and SafePointe for the below period. The historical financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited combined pro forma information based upon currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions. The actual effect of the transactions ultimately may differ from the pro forma adjustments included herein. However, management believes that the assumptions used to prepare the pro forma adjustments provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the transactions as currently contemplated and that the pro forma adjustments are factually supportable, give appropriate effect to the expected impact of events that are directly attributable to the transactions, and reflect those items expected to have a continuing impact on the Company.

The unaudited pro forma combined revenue and net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2023 would have been $24.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The unaudited pro forma combined revenue and net loss for thenine months ended September 30, 2023 would have been $67.9 million and $7.8 million, respectively

Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

On August 28, 2018, Silvon S. Simmons (the “Plaintiff”) amended a complaint against the City of Rochester, New York and various city employees, filed in the United States District Court, Western District of New York, to add the Company and employees as a defendant. The amended complaint alleges conspiracy to violate the Plaintiff’s civil rights, denial of the right to a fair trial, and malicious prosecution. The Plaintiff claims that the Company colluded with the City of Rochester to fabricate and create gunshot alert evidence to secure Plaintiff’s conviction. On the basis of the allegations, the Plaintiff has petitioned for compensatory and punitive damages and other costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees. The Company believes that the Plaintiff’s claims are without merit and has disputed them vigorously. Following a motion for summary judgment by the Company on September 13, 2023, the court removed the Company as a defendant from the litigation. The Plaintiff then lost its case against the City of Rochester, New York at trial and may appeal.

The Company may become subject to legal proceedings, as well as demands and claims that arise in the normal course of business. Such claims, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and management resources. The Company makes a provision for a liability relating to legal matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed and adjusted to include the impacts of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter.

An unfavorable outcome on any litigation matters could require payment of substantial damages, or, in connection with any intellectual property infringement claims, could require the Company to pay ongoing royalty payments or could prevent the Company from selling certain of its products. As a result, a settlement of, or an unfavorable outcome on, any of the matters referenced above or other litigation matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows.
