Current report
Based on our current resources, we require additional capital to fund our operating plan for at least the next 12 months. Currently, the Company has plans to increase liquidity through financing activities, which could include utilization of the ATM facility or the issuance of equity, debt, or convertible securities. Notwithstanding such plans, there can be no assurance that financing activities will be successful or timely, or that capital can be raised on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. SeePart I, Item 1, Note 1. Description of Business for additional discussion.

Current report
A certain level of capital is required for us to be successful in attaining our revenue and gross margin goals. To achieve these goals, we must invest in appropriate development resources, acquire necessary components, establish sufficient inventory levels, and build sales channels and partnerships. In the event that our financial resources are insufficient to fund these requirements, it is unlikely that we will be able to deliver target revenues and gross margins, which would significantly impair our performance and viability.
Current report
●we may need to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to pay principal on the convertible notes, which would reduce funds available to us for other purposes such as working capital, capital expenditures, potential acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;
Current report
●we may be unable to refinance our indebtedness under the securities purchase and exchange agreement or to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, or general corporate purposes;
Current report
●we may be unable to comply with financial and other covenants related to the convertible notes, which could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, may result in acceleration of the notes and would have an adverse effect on our business and prospects, could cause us to lose the rights to our intellectual property, and could force us into bankruptcy or liquidation;
Current report
●the conversion of the convertible notes could result in significant dilution of our common stock, which could result in significant dilution to our existing stockholders and cause the market price of our common stock to decline; and
Current report
●we may be more vulnerable to an economic downturn or recession and adverse developments in our business.
Removed paragraphs (2)
Previous report
Based on our current operating plan, including expected financing activities, we anticipate that we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. We will, however, require additional capital to fund our operating plan past that time. We will seek to obtain additional capital through the issuance of equity or debt securities, development revenue, product sales, and/or licensing activities. There can be no assurance that any such efforts to obtain additional capital would be successful.
Reworded paragraphs (24)
Previous wording
The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the expenses, difficulties and delays frequently encountered by companies formed to develop and commercialize new technologies. In particular, our operations to date have focused primarily on research and development, initially of our Laser Beam Scanning, or LBS, technology system, including products built around that technology, and more recently of other core technologies around which our automotive lidar sensors are built. We are unable to accurately estimate future revenues and operating expenses based upon historical performance.

We are unable to accurately estimate future revenues and operating expenses based upon historical performance.
Previous wording
We cannot be certain that we will succeed in obtaining additional development revenue or commercializing our technology or products at scale. In light of these factors, we expect to continue to incur significant losses and negative cash flow through the remainder of 2026 and the foreseeable future. There is significant risk that we will not achieve positive cash flow at any time in the future.
Current wording
We cannot be certain that we will succeed in securing sustained levels of revenue or commercializing our technology or products at scale. In light of these factors, we expect to continue to incur significant losses and negative cash flow through the remainder of 2026 and the foreseeable future. There is significant risk that we will not achieve positive cash flow at any time in the future.
Previous wording
We will require additional capital to fund our operations at the level necessary to implement our business plan. Raising additional capital will dilute the value of current shareholders’ investment in us. Additionally, we may be unable to raise capital at the level we expect or on terms acceptable to us.

We will require additional capital to fund our operations at the level necessary to implement our business plan. Raising additional capital will dilute the value of current shareholders’ investment in us. Additionally, we may be unable to raise capital at the level we expect, within the timeframe needed, or on terms acceptable to us.
Previous wording
Additional capital may not be available to us or, if available, may not be available at a level or on terms acceptable to us or on a timely basis. Raising additional capital may involve issuing securities with rights and preferences that are senior to our common stock and may dilute the value of our current shareholders’ investment in us. Moreover, raising capital through the sale of our equity securities is dependent upon the availability of the requisite shares of authorized stock, which is driven by the market price of our stock and the approval of our stockholders. If adequate capital resources are not available on a timely basis, we may consider limiting our operations substantially and we may be unable to continue as a going concern. This limitation of operations could include reducing investments in our research and development projects, staff, operating costs, and capital expenditures which could jeopardize our ability to achieve our business goals or satisfy our customer requirements.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, a leading manufacturer of agricultural equipment accounted for $0.5 million in revenue and an automotive supplier accounted for $0.1 million in revenue, representing 80% and 14% of our total revenue, respectively. Our revenue has been negatively affected by the loss of certain of these customers and could continue to be if not retained or replaced with new, materially equivalent customer wins.
Current wording
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, $0.6 million, or 25%, of total revenue was derived from Iris sensor sales to a leading global manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, $0.5 million, or 22%, of total revenue was derived from Movia L sensors sales to an EU-based robotics company delivering autonomy systems in the Security & Defense sector, and $0.5 million, or 21%, was derived from a top-ten global automotive OEM customer. For the same period in 2025, a leading manufacturer of agricultural equipment and an automotive supplier accounted for $0.5 million and $0.2 million of total revenue, respectively, representing 66% and 22% of total revenue, respectively. Our revenue has been negatively affected by the loss of certain of these customers and could continue to be if not retained or replaced with new, materially equivalent customer wins.
Previous wording
Our stock price has fluctuated significantly in the past, has recently been volatile, and may be volatile in the future. Over the 52-week period ending May 6, 2026, our common stock has traded at a low of $0.51 and a high of $1.73. We may continue to experience sustained depression or substantial volatility in our stock price in the foreseeable future unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we incurred a loss per share of $0.08.
Current wording
Our stock price has fluctuated significantly in the past, has recently been volatile, and may be volatile in the future. Adjusting for the 1-for-15 reverse stock split that became effective on August 1, 2026, over the 52-week period ending August 3, 2026, our common stock has traded at a low of $3.45 and a high of $23.10. We may continue to experience sustained depression or substantial volatility in our stock price in the foreseeable future unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we incurred a loss per share of $2.90 (as adjusted to reflect the 1-for-15 reverse stock split).
Previous wording
Since the price of our common stock has fluctuated in the past, has suffered recent declines and may be volatile in the future, investors in our common stock could incur substantial losses. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. There can be no guarantee that our stock price will remain at current levels or that future sales of our common stock will not be at prices lower than those sold to investors.

Previous wording
Additionally, securities of certain companies have in the past few years experienced significant and extreme volatility in stock price due to short sellers of shares of common stock, known as a “short squeeze.” These short squeezes have caused extreme volatility in both the stock prices of those companies and in the market and have led to the price per share of those companies to trade at a significantly inflated rate that is disconnected from the underlying value of the company. Many investors who have purchased shares in those companies at an inflated rate face the risk of losing a significant portion of their original investment, as in many cases the price per share has declined steadily as interest in those stocks has abated. There can be no assurance that our shares will not be subject to a short squeeze in the future, and investors may lose a significant portion or all of their investment if they purchase our shares at a rate that is significantly disconnected from our underlying value.

If we are unable to maintain our listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, it could become more difficult to sell our stock in the public market.
Current wording
If we are unable to maintain our listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market, it could become more difficult to sell our stock in the public market.
Previous wording
Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Market. To maintain our listing on this market, we must meet Nasdaq’s listing maintenance standards. On January 12, 2026, we received a notification letter from Nasdaq advising that, based upon the closing bid price for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer met the continued listing requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).
Current wording
Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, which requires that we meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. On January 12, 2026, we received a notification letter from Nasdaq advising that, based upon the closing bid price for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer met the continued listing requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), and granted the Company 180 days to regain compliance. Prior to the July 13, 2026 compliance deadline, Nasdaq approved our application to transfer our listing from The Global Market to The Capital Market, which was effective July 20, 2026, and determined that the Company was eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period. On August 1, 2026, a 1-for-15 reverse stock split became effective, as approved by our Board of Directors on July 21 st and by our shareholders at our 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on July 10 th. To regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, our common stock must have a closing price of $1 or more for ten consecutive trading days at some point prior to the January 11, 2027 compliance deadline. We can provide no assurance that this will be achieved.
Previous wording
As a result of recent declines and volatility in our stock price, there is a significant risk that we could fail to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If we are unable to regain compliance within the 180-day period and then continue to meet Nasdaq’s listing maintenance standards for any reason, such as our minimum bid price falling below $1 for 30 consecutive trading days, our common stock could be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market. If our common stock were delisted, we may seek to list our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market, the NYSE American or on a regional stock exchange or, if one or more broker-dealer market makers comply with applicable requirements, the over-the-counter, or OTC, market. Listing on such other market or exchange could reduce the liquidity of our common stock. If our common stock were to trade in the OTC market, an investor would find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations for the price of, the common stock.
Current wording
As a result of severe declines and volatility in our stock price, there is a significant risk that we could fail to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If, for any reason, we are unable to regain compliance within the 180-day period and also continue to meet Nasdaq’s listing maintenance standards, such as our minimum bid price falling below $1 for 30 consecutive trading days, our common stock could be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market. If our common stock were delisted, we may seek to list our common stock on the NYSE American or on a regional stock exchange or, if one or more broker-dealer market makers comply with applicable requirements, the over-the-counter, or OTC, market.

Previous wording
A delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market and failure to obtain listing on another market or exchange would subject our common stock to so-called penny stock rules that impose additional sales practice and market-making requirements on broker-dealers who sell or make a market in such securities. Consequently, removal from The Nasdaq Global Market and failure to obtain listing on another market or exchange could affect the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell or make a market in our common stock and the ability of purchasers of our common stock to sell their securities in the secondary market.

Previous wording
Our products and solutions compete with other pureplay lidar developers, most of which have raised and exhausted significant capital in their development and production efforts. We also face competition from OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers that have internally developed lidar sensors. All of these OEMS and Tier 1s are significantly larger, more well-resourced, have long operating histories and enjoy relevant brand recognition. With greater resources over the past several years, our pureplay lidar competitors have in the past developed and commercialized products more quickly than us and may now have access to more entrenched sales channels. This historical imbalance in financial resources and access could result for us in reduced revenues, lower margins or loss of market share, any of which could reduce the value of our business. Additionally, for a variety of reasons, customers may choose to purchase from suppliers that have substantially greater financial or other resources than we have.

Our ability to successfully offer products and solutions incorporating our technologies and implement our business plan in a rapidly evolving market requires an effective planning and management process. In particular following our recent asset acquisitions, the growth in business and relationships with customers and other third parties has placed, and will continue to place, a significant strain on our management systems and resources. We will need to continue to improve our financial and managerial controls, reporting systems and procedures, and will need to continue to train and manage our workforce. We continue to strengthen our compliance programs, including our compliance programs related to product certifications (in particular, certifications applicable to the automotive market), export controls, privacy, cybersecurity, and anti-corruption. We may not be able to implement improvements in an efficient or timely manner and may discover deficiencies in existing controls, programs, systems and procedures, which could have an adverse effect on our business, reputation and financial results.
