**Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Current report
During the first half of 2026, we experienced increased commercial traction that we believe marks an inflection point in our transition from development toward commercialization. Revenue was $303 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, up 252% from $86 in the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Current report
During the second quarter of 2026, we partnered with MoveAWheeL to explore combining Apollo’s™ long-range 3D object detection with MoveAWheeL’s acoustic road-surface friction sensing, with the goal of providing real-time predictive road-surface friction data to improve advanced driver-assistance and autonomous driving performance in adverse weather. Evaluations are underway in select geographies, however there can be no assurance that it will result in a commercial relationship or in commercial sales for us.
Current report
We believe the software-defined nature of our architecture has increasingly been a factor in customer evaluations and selections. Because Apollo™ and STRATOS™ are built on a common software-defined platform, customers can configure range, resolution, and field of view, and enable perception features, through software rather than hardware changes, allowing a single architecture to address application-specific requirements across automotive, commercial trucking, aerospace and defense, intelligent transportation systems and other industries. There can be no assurance, however, that this differentiation will result in design wins or commercial sales for us.
Current report
Revenues increased by $180, or 818%, to $202 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $22 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase is primarily due to the higher volume of Apollo TM lidar units sold and higher contract development revenues during the quarter.
Current report
Research and development expenses increased by $1,073, or 29%, to $4,743 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $3,670 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in personnel costs, net of allocations, of $307, increased fees paid to third party development work of $314, allocated information technology and facilities expense of $135, engineering parts and lab equipment and other research and development expenses of $271.
Current report
General and administrative expenses increased by $356, or 8%, to $4,704 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $4,348 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily driven by higher stock-based compensation of $1,230, partially offset by decreased personnel costs, net of allocations, of $448, and decreases in professional fees and stock related costs of $216.
Current report
Net loss increased by $752, or 8%, to $10,022 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $9,270 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily due to higher stock-based compensation and increased engineering spend, partially offset by lower changes in fair value of convertible note and warrants.

Cost of revenue increased by $360, or 176%, to $564 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $204 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily due to higher volumes of product sales during the year.
Current report
Sales and marketing expenses increased by $1,149, or 117% to $2,133 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $984 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily driven by increases in personnel costs, net of allocations, of $519, and increased travel, marketing, trade show and consultant expenses of $510, as we continue to invest in sales and marketing activities to build brand awareness and expand our commercial pipeline.
Current report
Change in fair value of convertible note and warrant liabilities decreased by $62 to a favorable change of $149 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, from a favorable change of $87 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to the change in fair value of the 2025 Note and warrants related to the 2025 Note and 2022 Note, which were fully settled or cancelled in 2025.
Current report
Interest Income and Other
Current report
Interest income and other increased by $629, or 104%, to $1,236 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $607 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily due to higher interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities in the current period.
Current report
Interest Expense and Other
Current report
Interest expense and other decreased by $2,507, to a net income of $34 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, from a net expense of $2,473 for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

We anticipate growing demand for our Apollo TM platform across our two major markets, Automotive and Non-Automotive, and we believe this expected growth will enable us to capture market share across both the Automotive and Non-Automotive markets. We plan to pursue opportunities in advanced driver-assistance systems, or ADAS, autonomous driving, and commercial trucking, while also exploring opportunities in the Non-Automotive market, such as in the railway, airport safety and security, perimeter monitoring, aerospace and defense, transportation logistics, and intelligent transportation systems, or ITS, segments. This diversified approach provides us with multiple opportunities for sustained growth by enabling new applications and product features across a broad range of industries and market segments. However, as our customers continue their R&D projects to commercialize solutions that rely on lidar technology, it is difficult to estimate the timing of ultimate end market demand and customer adoption.

In July 2025, we announced the validation of our lidar technology on the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin TM platform. We have since expanded our collaboration and demonstrated our lidar with NVIDIA's next-generation DRIVE AGX Thor TM platform, enabling our sensors to interface directly with NVIDIA’s autonomous driving compute architecture and development toolchain. These integrations are intended to support alignment with NVIDIA’s Hyperion reference architecture and may provide opportunities to engage with global automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers that adopt NVIDIA‑based ADAS and automated driving systems. We continue to demonstrate advances in the high‑speed and long‑range performance of our lidar systems, which we believe further strengthen the technical basis for these integrations. Because these engagements are relatively recent, there can be no guarantee that they will result in commercial adoption.

To date, we have primarily generated revenue through sales of our products to Non‑Automotive customers and through development contracts with OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. Non‑Automotive applications typically command higher average selling prices and may carry higher gross margins than Automotive programs due to lower volume sensitivity, more specialized operating requirements, and greater willingness by customers to pay for performance differentiation. These engagements often involve customization of our product’s capabilities to address application‑specific needs, including software‑based configuration of scan patterns, region‑of‑interest tuning, advanced perception features, and other enhancements. In many cases, customers require more complex configurations or software‑enabled feature additions, which allows us greater latitude to price these solutions at a premium. As a result, customized Non‑Automotive deployments generally reflect higher contractual pricing and may contribute more favorably to gross margin relative to standard Automotive configurations.

Our product revenue primarily relates to unit sales of our lidar units, software, and support. Revenue from these sales is typically recognized at a point in time when the control of the goods is transferred to the customer, generally upon delivery of or shipment to the customer, or when services have been provided. Revenue from development and/or collaboration contracts are earned from R&D activities and collaboration with OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. These contracts primarily focus on customization of our product's capabilities to our customers’ applications, typically involving software implementation to assist with sensor connection and control, customization of scan patterns, and enhancement of perception capabilities to meet specific customer needs. Revenue from development contracts is recognized when we satisfy performance obligations in the contract, which can result in recognition at either a point in time or over time. This assessment is made at the outset of the arrangement for each performance obligation.

The use of the Shelf was subject to a limitation of one-third of our public float in any rolling twelve-month period, when our public float was below $75,000, which is commonly referred to as the “baby shelf" rules. Since July 28, 2025, we have not been subject to the "baby shelf" rules. Since the Shelf was established, we have used the Shelf to register the shares sold in the May 29, 2024 Registered Direct Offering and the September 12, 2024 A.G.P. Transaction, both of which are further described below. The Shelf is scheduled to expire in September 2026, and we expect to file a replacement registration statement on Form S-3 in May 2026 to maintain capacity to raise capital under our existing financing programs. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital under any such replacement registration statement, in the amounts anticipated, or at all.

The 2026 Shelf registers the offering and sale, from time to time, of up to $200,000 of our common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, rights, and units, in one or more offerings. The 2026 Shelf had not been declared effective by the SEC as of the date of this Quarterly Report.
