Previous wording

For example, our revenues with respect to certain customers have varied significantly during the past year. The City of Chicago was our second largest customer by revenue in 2023 and 2024. However, Chicago did not renew our contract in November 2024. As a result, the significance of our largest customer by revenue, the City of New York, has increased from representing 26% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 31% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Any inability to renew or delays in renewal of our contract with the City of New York or any of the other factors above or other factors discussed elsewhere in this report will result in fluctuations in our revenues and operating results, meaning that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenues, results of operations and cash flows may not necessarily be indicative of our future performance.

However, Chicago did not renew our contract in November 2024.

Previous wording

We had a net loss of $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and a net loss of $9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and as of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $108.9 million. We are not certain whether we will be able to maintain enough revenues from sales of our solutions to sustain or increase our growth or maintain profitability in the future. We also expect our costs to increase in future periods, which could negatively affect our future operating results if our revenues do not increase. In particular, we have previously and expect to continue to expend substantial financial and other resources on:

We have a revolving credit facility with Umpqua Bank with a revolving credit commitment of $25.0 million that matures on October 15, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, we had $4.0 million outstanding on our line of credit.

Previous wording

We currently operate in limited number of locations outside the United States. A key component to our business strategy is to expand our international operations to increase our revenues from customers outside of the United States as part of our growth strategy. Operating in international markets requires significant resources and management attention and will subject us to regulatory, economic and political risks in addition to those we already face in the United States. In addition, we will need to invest time and resources in understanding the regulatory framework and political environments of our potential customers overseas in order to focus our sales efforts. Because such regulatory and political considerations are likely to vary across jurisdictions, this effort will require additional time and attention from our sales team and could lead to a sales cycle that is longer than our typical process for sales in the United States. We also may need to hire additional employees and otherwise invest in our international operations in order to reach new customers. Because of our limited experience with international operations as well as developing and managing sales in international markets, our international expansion efforts may be delayed or may not be successful.

Operating in international markets requires significant resources and management attention and will subject us to regulatory, economic and political risks in addition to those we already face in the United States. We may face additional challenges that may delay contract execution related to negotiating with governments in transition, the use of third-party integrations and consultants. For example, due to governmental changes and tariff-related impacts, we have experienced a delay in our ShotSpotter deployment in Brazil.

Previous wording

Trade disputes, trade restrictions, tariffs, and other political tensions between the United States and other countries may also exacerbate unfavorable macroeconomic conditions including inflationary pressures, foreign exchange volatility, financial market instability, and economic recessions or downturns, which may also negatively impact customer demand for our services, delay renewals or limit expansion opportunities with existing customers, limit our access to capital, or otherwise negatively impact our business and operations. Ongoing tariff and macroeconomic uncertainty has and may continue to contribute to volatility in the price of our common stock.

Ongoing tariff and macroeconomic uncertainty has and may continue to contribute to volatility in the price of our common stock. In addition, the fluctuation in tariff rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the ongoing uncertainty of those rates, has primarily impacted our product costs during this period, and may in the future impact our ability to forecast the tariff impacts on our cost of revenue.

Previous wording

As of June 30, 2025, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $50.0 million, of which $45.1 million will begin to expire in 2030, if not utilized. The remaining net operating losses of $4.9 million can be carried forward indefinitely under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. As of June 30, 2025, we also had state NOLs of approximately $41.7 million, which began expiring in 2025. These federal and state NOLs may be available to reduce future income subject to income taxes. In general, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its NOLs to offset future taxable income. Past or future changes in our stock ownership, some of which are outside of our control, may have resulted or could result in an ownership change. State NOLs generated in one state cannot be used to offset income generated in another state. In addition, at the state level, there may be periods during which the use of NOLs is suspended or otherwise limited. For example, California recently imposed limits on the usability of California state NOL carryforwards and certain state tax credits in tax years beginning after 2023 and before 2027. Such suspensions or limitations could accelerate or permanently increase state taxes owed.

The market price of our common stock is volatile. It has ranged from a low of $12.40 per share to a high of $19.07 per share from January 1, 2025 to June 30, 2025. The price of our common stock may continue to fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the factors listed below and other factors described in this “Risk Factors” section:

Previous wording

Our board of directors has authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $25.0 million of our common stock, of which $12.5 million has been utilized as of June 30, 2025. Repurchases of our shares could increase the volatility of the trading price of our stock, which could have a negative impact on the trading price of our stock. Similarly, the future announcement of the termination or suspension of the stock repurchase program, or our decision not to utilize the full authorized repurchase amount under the stock repurchase program, could result in a decrease in the trading price of our stock. In addition, the stock repurchase program could have the impact of diminishing our cash reserves, which may impact our ability to finance our growth, complete acquisitions and execute our strategic plan. There can be no assurance that any share repurchases we do elect to make will enhance stockholder value because the market price of our common stock may decline below the levels at which we repurchased our shares. Although our stock repurchase program is intended to enhance long-term stockholder value, we cannot guarantee that it will do so and short-term stock price fluctuations could reduce the effectiveness of the stock repurchase program.

Effective December 31, 2025, we will become an accelerated filer, which increases our costs and demands on management.

Current wording

We expect that we will become an accelerated filer, which increases our costs and demands on management.

Previous wording

Based on the market value of our common stock held by our non-affiliates as of June 30, 2025 and our annual revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024, we will no longer be considered a “non-accelerated filer” effective as of December 31, 2025. Thus, we are subject to accelerated filing deadlines as well as the requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which require our independent registered public accounting firm to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We have devoted and expect to continue to devote significant time, effort and expenses to implement and comply with Section 404(b) and the additional standards, rules and regulations that apply to us. Compliance with the additional requirements of being an accelerated filer will also increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs.
