Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of June 30, 2026. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2026 due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting previously disclosed in Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and further described below.

Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, we have concluded that our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for each of the periods presented herein.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As previously disclosed in Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, management has identified the following material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting:

i.

Management did not design and maintain an effective control environment commensurate with the financial reporting requirements of a public company. Specifically, management lacked a sufficient number of professionals with an appropriate level of internal controls and accounting knowledge, training, and experience to appropriately analyze, record and disclose accounting matters timely and accurately. Additionally, the lack of a sufficient number of professionals resulted in an inability to consistently establish appropriate authorities and responsibilities in pursuit of the Company’s financial reporting objectives, as demonstrated by, among other things, insufficient segregation of duties in the Company’s finance and accounting functions. This material weakness contributed to the following additional material weaknesses described below.

ii.

Management did not design and maintain an effective risk assessment process at a precise enough level to identify new and evolving risks of material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements. Specifically, changes to existing controls or the implementation of new controls have not been sufficient to respond to changes to the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements.

iii.

Management did not design and maintain effective controls over the segregation of duties related to journal entries and account reconciliations. Specifically, certain personnel had the ability to both (a) create and post journal entries within the Company's general ledger system, and (b) prepare and review account reconciliations.

The material weaknesses above resulted in certain audit adjustments, which were recorded prior to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

iv.

Management did not design and maintain effective controls over the accounting for the Company’s Space Services and research and development services (“R&D Services”) with customers. Specifically, management did not design and maintain effective controls over the identification of and allocation of transaction price and costs to performance obligations to ensure revenue is recognized at the time performance obligations are satisfied, the identification and accounting for embedded leases, the classification and accounting for costs incurred in connection with performing services, the recognition of allowances for current expected credit losses, and the identification and accounting for uninstalled materials. This material weakness resulted in (a) the restatement of the Company’s previously filed consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of the quarter ends and for the interim periods in the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and (b) immaterial audit adjustments to revenue and contract liabilities, current portion as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

v.

Management did not design and maintain effective controls related to the identification of and accounting for certain non-routine, unusual or complex transactions, including the proper application of GAAP to such transactions. Specifically, management did not design and maintain:

a.

controls to timely identify and account for warrant instruments, which resulted in the restatement of the previously issued financial statements of NavSight related to adjustments to warrant liabilities and equity as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020;

b.

controls to account for business combinations, including the associated valuation estimates and the completeness and accuracy of the opening balance sheet, which did not result in a misstatement to the Company’s consolidated financial statements;

c.

controls to timely identify and account for the fair value of the contingent earnout liability, which resulted in an error in the fair value of the contingent earnout liability in, and the restatement of, the Company’s previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for each of the interim periods ended September 30, 2021, March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 and the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021; and

d.

controls to appropriately identify and account for participating securities under the two-class method of determining and presenting net income (loss) per share, which resulted in a material audit adjustment to basic and diluted income (loss) per share for three months ended June 30, 2025.

Additionally, management concluded that each of the material weaknesses described above could result in a misstatement of substantially all of the Company's accounts or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Remediation Efforts on Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In response to the material weaknesses identified, management has implemented several changes to the Company's internal control over financial reporting and will continue performing remedial actions, as described below.

The remediation and ultimate resolution of each of the material weaknesses will be reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Management believes it has made progress addressing the material weaknesses related to the control environment, as described below:

Key Professionals

In the year ended December 31, 2024 and continuing to date, management identified and hired a number of professionals with appropriate levels of internal controls and accounting knowledge to strengthen the Company’s domestic and international financial accounting and reporting functions. Positions filled include, but are not limited to, Chief Accounting Officer, Vice President of FP&A, and Director of SOX and Internal Controls. In addition, management engaged external consultants and subject matter experts to provide technical accounting and financial systems support. Management continues to assess personnel requirements and expertise necessary to maintain an effective control environment, including providing ongoing training to finance and accounting personnel.

Risk Assessment

In the year ended December 31, 2025, management conducted a comprehensive scoping and materiality risk assessment over the Company’s financial statements to identify material areas that should be in scope for both business processes and information technology systems. Based on this assessment, management performed detailed walkthroughs of key processes, identified associated risks and relevant key controls, and evaluated any control gaps. Management tested the design and implementation of these key controls and has been actively remediating any identified gaps. Additionally, management conducted operating effectiveness testing of relevant controls to ensure they operate as intended.

In addition, during 2025, management initiated an Enterprise Risk Assessment with input from third-party consulting firms to further strengthen the Company’s enterprise-wide risk identification and response processes. This effort included gathering input from leadership and key stakeholders across the organization to identify and prioritize the most significant enterprise risks, evaluating potential impacts on the Company, and developing appropriate mitigation strategies. Management is conducting workshops to validate these risks, define responses, and establish monitoring metrics and key performance indicators.

Management is actively monitoring and testing these enhanced risk assessment processes, leveraging third-party experts as needed. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until management concludes, through ongoing testing and review, that controls over financial statement risk identification and response are effective and operating over a sustained period.

Segregation of Duties

During 2025, management, with the assistance of a third-party consulting firm, conducted a comprehensive segregation of duties analysis across processes, technology systems, and specifically the Company’s ERP system. Any conflicts identified through this analysis are being resolved, and mitigation procedures are being implemented to remediate these conflicts. To strengthen controls over journal entries, automated functionality previously implemented in the ERP system in the year 2022 continues to prevent the same individual from creating and posting entries in the general ledger. Additionally, with the expansion of the accounting team during years 2024 and 2025, management was able to establish clear segregation between personnel who prepare account reconciliations and those who review them.

Management is actively remediating identified conflicts and monitoring the effectiveness of implemented segregation of duties controls. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the controls operate effectively over a sustained period and are confirmed through ongoing testing.

Space Services and R&D Services

Management is implementing measures designed to strengthen internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for the Company’s Space Services and R&D Services with customers. As part of this effort, management engaged a third-party consulting firm to review the Company’s ERP system and identify opportunities to mitigate manual processes and enhance the completeness and accuracy of revenue recognition. Management is also redesigning the deal review and approval process to ensure that all relevant stakeholders, including Accounting, Legal, Sales, FP&A, Project Management, and Technical Engineering, are appropriately involved prior to contract execution. Additionally, standardized contract models, including estimates at completion models, are being implemented with defined checklists, formal documentation of key assumptions and judgments, and preventive and detective controls to support consistent, transparent, and accurate application of accounting policies.

These measures, along with enhanced training and ongoing monitoring, are intended to improve the control environment and ensure the proper identification of performance obligations, allocation of transaction price and costs, and recognition of revenue in accordance with GAAP. While these actions are underway, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until management completes the design and implementation of the controls, and verifies through testing that the controls operate effectively over a sustained period.

Non-routine, Unusual or Complex Transactions

In the year ended December 31, 2025, management has designed and is implementing a process to strengthen the identification and accounting of non-routine, unusual, or complex transactions. This process includes defining what qualifies as non-routine or complex transactions, such as warrants, contingent earnouts, business combinations, and participating securities, and establishing procedures, including a centralized tracking process, to promptly identify such transactions and ensure accurate accounting and reporting. With the expansion of the accounting team in 2024 and 2025, management has placed greater reliance on internal resources to address non-routine, unusual, or complex transactions. However, management will continue to consider engaging third-party accounting consultants in the future, as circumstances warrant, to augment internal resources and support accurate accounting and reporting.

Management is continuing to implement and monitor these enhanced processes, including ongoing documentation, review, and technical accounting support. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the controls operate effectively over a sustained period and management confirms their effectiveness through testing.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors or all instances of fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be achieved.

The design of any control system must consider resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be weighed against their costs. Inherent limitations exist in all control systems, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control deficiencies or instances of fraud, if any, will be detected. These limitations include the possibility of faulty judgments in decision-making, simple errors or mistakes, and the potential for controls to be circumvented by individual acts, collusion among employees, or management override.

Control systems are also designed based on assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that a particular design will achieve its objectives under all conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate due to changes in circumstances, or compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate. As a result of these inherent limitations, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes (other than those described above) in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
