Previous report
Our executive officers, directors, principal stockholders and their affiliates will continue to exercise significant influence over our company, which will limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could delay or prevent a change in corporate control.
Previous report
Asof March 28, 2025, our executive officers, directors, five percent or greater stockholders and their respective affiliates owned in the aggregate approximately 13.1% of our common stock.
Previous report
These stockholders have the ability to influence us through this ownership position and may have a determining role in matters requiring stockholder approval. For example, these stockholders may be able to ultimately determine elections of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, or approval of any merger, sale of assets, or other major corporate transaction. This may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for our common stock that you may feel are in your best interest as one of our stockholders. The interests of this group of stockholders may not always coincide with your interests or the interests of other stockholders and they may act in a manner that advances their best interests and not necessarily those of other stockholders, including seeking a premium value for their common stock, and might affect the prevailing market price for our common stock.

Previous wording
For the year ended December 31, 2024, we had a net lossof$61,410,000. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience significant expenses related to acquisitions and the development of new products and services. Although we have deliberately incurred losses in the past as we worked to develop, test and popularize our products and services, a significant portion of our expenses are fixed in advance and we cannot assure that we will be profitable in the future or that our financial performance will sustain a sufficient level to completely support operations. Our ability to become profitable in future periods could be impacted by factors that are not in our control, including government activity and regulation, economic instability and other items. e. ,. Our success as a technology-based company focused on roadway intelligence will require us to generate sufficient new revenues from the roadway intelligence market to support our business plan while continuing to operate as a public company. As a result, we may continue to experience operating losses and net losses in the future, which would make it difficult to fund operations and achieve our business plan and could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
Current wording
For the year ended December 31, 2025, we had a net lossof$31,460,000. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience significant expenses related to acquisitions and the development of new products and services. We have deliberately incurred losses in the past as we worked to develop, test and popularize our products and services. Although the maintenance of these products and services is expected to be significantly less expensive than the initial development, competitive pressure and feedback from customers may result in further development efforts. In addition, significant portion of our expenses are fixed in advance and can only be reduced as on a percentage basis as our revenue increases. Accordingly, we cannot assure that we will be profitable or that our financial performance will sustain a sufficient level to completely support operations at any particular time in the future. Our ability to become profitable in future periods could be impacted by factors that are not in our control, including government activity and regulation, economic instability and other items. Our success as a technology-based company focused on roadway intelligence will require us to generate sufficient new revenues from the roadway intelligence market to support our business plan while continuing to operate as a public company. As a result, we may continue to experience operating losses and net losses in the future, which would make it difficult to fund operations and achieve our business plan and could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

We may be limited in the portion of net operating loss carryforwards that we can offset future taxable income for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2024, we had gross federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, or NOLs, of approximately $190,624,000 and$180,859,000, respectively. A lack of future taxable income could adversely affect our ability to use these NOLs. In addition, future changes in our stock ownership, including through acquisitions, could result in ownership changes under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and may result in a limitation on the amount of NOL carryforwards that could be used annually to offset future taxable income and taxes payable. Our NOLs at December 31, 2024 may also be impaired under similar provisions of state law and may expire unused or underused, which would prevent us from using our NOL carryforwards to offset future taxable income.
