Notes to Condensed financial statements

(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)

NOTE 1: The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Knightscope, Inc. was incorporated on April 4, 2013 under the laws of the State of Delaware.

Knightscope, Inc. (the “Company”) is an innovator in robotics and artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies focused on public safety. Our technologies are designed to help our clients protect the people, places, and things where we live, work, study, and visit. Our technologies are made in the United States and allow public safety professionals to more effectively identify, deter, intervene, capture, and prosecute criminals.

To support our mission to make the United States the safest country in the world, we design, develop, manufacture, market, deploy and support Autonomous Security Robots (“ASRs”), the proprietary Knightscope Security Operations Center (“KSOC”) software user interface, Blue Light emergency communication devices (“ECDs”), and the proprietary Knightscope Emergency Management System (“KEMS”) software platform.

Basis of Presentation and Liquidity

The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the period presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31,2024 or for other future periods. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to those audited financial statements.

Since its inception, the Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations which is principally the result of scaling the business and significant research and development activities related to the development, continued improvement, and deployment of the Company’s ASRs (hardware and software).

Cash and cash equivalents on hand were $5.2 million as of September 30, 2024, compared to $2.3 million as of December 31, 2023. The Company has historically incurred losses and negative cashflows from operations. As of September 30, 2024, the Company also had an accumulated deficit of approximately $186.2 million and stockholders’ equity of approximately $9.3 million. The Company is dependent on additional fundraising in order to sustain its ongoing operations. Based on current operating levels, the Company will need to raise additional funds in the next twelve months by selling additional equity or incurring debt. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months from the date of this report.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

Net loss per share of common stock is computed using the two-class method required for participating securities based on their participation rights. All series of convertible preferred stock are participating securities as the holders are entitled to participate in common stock dividends with common stock on an as converted basis. The voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and powers of the common stock are subject to and qualified by the rights, powers and preferences of any series of preferred stock as may be designated by the Company’s Board of Directors and outstanding from time to time. In accordance with the two-class method, earnings allocated to these participating securities, which include participation rights in undistributed earnings with common stock, are subtracted from net loss to determine net loss attributable to common stockholders upon their occurrence.

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders (net adjusted for preferred stock dividends declared or accumulated) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All participating securities are excluded from basic weighted average shares outstanding. In computing diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders, undistributed earnings are re-allocated to reflect the potential impact of dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by diluted weighted average shares outstanding, including potentially dilutive securities, unless anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 consist of the following:

​​​​​
​ · September 30, · ​ · September 30,
​ · ​ · 2024 · 2023
Series A Preferred Stock (convertible to Class B Common Stock)—28,368
Series B Preferred Stock (convertible to Class B Common Stock)—69,977
Series m Preferred Stock (convertible to Class A Common Stock)—35,813
Series m-2 Preferred Stock (convertible to Class B Common Stock)—3,200
Series S Preferred Stock (convertible to Class A Common Stock)—53,041
Warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock​150,111​22,769
Warrants to purchase Series m-3 Preferred Stock—28,656
Warrants to purchase Series S Preferred Stock—58,836
Stock options298,863210,272
Total potentially dilutive shares448,974510,932

As all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for each period.

On May 15, 2024 (the “Preferred Stock Conversion Date”), pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to date (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) each share of the Company’s Super Voting Preferred Stock was automatically converted into fully-paid, non-assessable shares of Class B common stock and each share of the Company’s Ordinary Preferred Stock (together with the Super Voting Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”) was automatically converted into fully-paid, non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock, in each case at the then effective applicable Conversion Rate, (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation), as a result of the receipt by the Company of a written request for such conversion from the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Preferred Stock then outstanding (the “Automatic Conversion”). As a result of the Automatic Conversion, no shares of previously authorized Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

Segments

The Company hasone operating segment andone reportable segment as its chief operating decision maker, who is its Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information on a regular basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. All long-lived assets are located in the United States and substantially all revenue is attributed to sellers and buyers based in the United States.

Comprehensive Loss

Net loss was equal to comprehensive loss for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Specific accounts that require management estimates include, but are not limited to, estimating the useful lives of the Company’s ASRs, property and equipment and intangible assets, certain estimates required within revenue recognition, warranty and allowance for credit losses, determination of deferred tax valuation allowances, estimating fair values of the Company’s share-based awards, warrant liability, and derivative liabilities, inclusive of any contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 to conform to the fiscal year 2024 presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on total assets, total liabilities, or stockholders’ equity (deficit).

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2024

None.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07,Segment Reporting. The amendment improves financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Management does not believe theimplementation of this pronouncement will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2023, FASB released ASU No. 2023-09,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU enhances income tax disclosures for the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU and the impact it may have on its financial statement disclosures.

Management has reviewed other recently issued accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB and does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the condensed financial statements.

Inventory

Inventory, principally purchased components, is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using an average cost, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory in excess of salable amounts and inventory which is considered obsolete based upon changes in existing technology is written off. At the point of loss recognition, a new lower cost basis for that inventory is established and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in the new cost basis.

ASRs consist of materials, ASRs in progress and finished ASRs. ASRs in progress and finished ASRs include materials, labor and other direct and indirect costs used in their production. Finished ASRs are valued using a discrete bill of materials, which includes an allocation of labor and direct overhead based on assembly hours. Depreciation expense on ASRs is recorded using the straight-line method over their estimated expected lives, which currently ranges from 3 to 5 years. Depreciation expense of finished ASRs included in research and development expense amounted to $0 and $2, depreciation expense of finished ASRs included in sales and marketing expense amounted to $0 and $2, and depreciation expense included in cost of revenue, net amounted to $467 and $412 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Depreciation expense of finished ASRs included in research and development expense amounted to $1 and $6, depreciation expense of finished ASRs included in sales and marketing expense amounted to $0 and $15, and depreciation expense included in cost of revenue, net amounted to $1,457 and $1,182 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Warranty Liability

The liability for estimated warranty claims is accrued at the time of sale and the expense is recorded in the condensed statements of operations in cost of revenue, net - product. The liability is established using historical warranty claim experience. The current provision may be adjusted to take into account unusual or non-recurring events in the past or anticipated changes in future warranty claims. Adjustments to the warranty accrual are recorded if actual claim experience indicates that adjustments are necessary. Warranty reserves are reviewed to ensure critical assumptions are updated for known events that may impact the potential warranty liability.

Convertible Preferred Warrant Liabilities and Common Stock Warrants

Freestanding warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s preferred stock were classified as liabilities on the balance sheets at their estimated fair value because the underlying shares of preferred stock were contingently redeemable and, therefore, may have obligated the Company to transfer assets at some point in the future. The preferred stock warrants were recorded at fair value upon issuance and were subject to remeasurement to their respective estimated fair values. At the end of each reporting period, changes in the estimated fair value of the preferred stock warrants were recorded in the condensed statements of operations. The Company adjusted the liability associated with the preferred stock warrants for changes in the estimated fair value until the earlier of the exercise or conversion. On May 15, 2024, the preferred stock warrants converted into warrants to purchase common stock and any liabilities recorded for the preferred stock warrants were reclassified to additional paid-in capital and are no longer subject to remeasurement.

Common stock warrants that are not considered derivative liabilities are accounted for at fair value at the date of issuance in additional paid-in capital.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718,Compensation - Stock Compensation, which requires that the estimated fair value on the date of grant be determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the fair value recognized over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the option vesting period. The Company’s determination of the fair value of the stock-based awards on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, is affected by the fair value of the Company’s common stock as well as other assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee option exercise behaviors. Because there is insufficient historical information available to estimate the expected term of the stock-based awards, the Company adopted the simplified method of estimating the expected term of options granted by taking the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the option. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur when calculating stock-based compensation for its equity awards.

Reverse Stock Split

On August 16, 2024, the Company held an annual meeting of stockholders at which the Company’s stockholders approved, among other items, amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at a ratio ranging from any whole number between 1-for-5 and 1-for-50, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) in its discretion, subject to the Board’s authority to abandon such amendments (the “Class A Reverse Stock Split Amendment”), and effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s Class B Common Stock at a ratio ranging from any whole number between 1-for-5 and 1-for-50 (which ratio shall be the same ratio as the reverse stock split determined by the Board with respect to the Class A Common Stock), as determined by the Board in its discretion, subject to the Board’s authority to abandon such amendments (the “Class B Reverse Stock Split Amendment” and, together with the Class A Reverse Stock Split Amendment, the “Reverse Stock Split Amendment”). The Reverse Stock Split Amendment was described in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on July 5, 2024. The Board had previously approved the Reverse Stock Split Amendment. On September 4, 2024, the Board selected a reverse stock split of the Class A Common Stock at a final ratio of 1-for-50 and a reverse stock split of the Class B Common Stock at a final ratio of 1-for-50 and abandoned all other reverse stock split amendments at different ratios. On September 13, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split Amendment. The Reverse Stock Split Amendment became effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date of filing of the related Certificate of Amendment. No fractional shares of either Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock were issued if, as a result of the Reverse Stock Split Amendment, a stockholder would otherwise have become entitled to a fractional share because the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as applicable, that they held before the Reverse Stock Split Amendment was not evenly divisible by the split ratio; instead, each stockholder received a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share based on the closing price per share as reported by The Nasdaq Capital Market on September 13, 2024, which totaled approximately$78. All stock options outstanding under the Company’s Equity Incentive plan immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split Amendment were adjusted by dividing the number of affected shares of common stock by 50 and, as applicable, multiplying the exercise price by 50. All share and per-share amounts in these condensed financial statements have been restated to reflect the Reverse Stock Split Amendment as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

NOTE 2: Revenue and Deferred Revenue

Revenue Recognition

ASR related revenues

The Company generates revenue primarily through the lease of its ASRs, along with access to the browser-based interface, KSOC. These revenues are recognized under the lease accounting framework, with contracts typically having an initial term of 12 months and an automatic renewal provision. The ASR lease agreements, which include access to KSOC, are classified as leases for revenue recognition purposes, with revenue being recognized over the lease term as the service is provided.

ECD related revenues

The Company also derives revenues from sales of its ECDs and related services, such as installation, maintenance, and upgrades. Revenue is recognized when clients sign a full or partial certificate of completion, at which point, Knightscope can generate an invoice for its products and services. Clients also have the option to sign up for ongoing preventative and maintenance agreements. The maintenance revenue is recognized in the period the service is performed and the Company has determined that the term of the contracts has been fulfilled. Installation or upgrades revenue are recognized upon completion of the project/contracts. In certain cases, deferred revenue is recognized to account for unfinished contracts.

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

●identification of the contract, or contracts, with a client;
●identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
●determination of the transaction price;
●allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
●recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

ASR subscription revenue

The Company recognizes ASR subscription revenue as follows:

ASR subscription revenue is generated from the lease of proprietary ASRs along with access to the browser-based interface KSOC through contracts that typically have 12 month terms. These revenue arrangements adhere to lease accounting guidance and are classified as leases for revenue recognition purposes. Currently, all revenue arrangements qualify as operating leases where consideration allocated to the lease deliverables is recognized ratably over the lease term.

Deferred revenue

In connection with the Company’s Machine-as-a-Service (“MaaS”) subscription for the Company’s ASRs, the Company’s standard billing terms are annual in advance. In these situations, the Company records the invoices as deferred revenue and amortizes the subscription amount when the services are delivered, which generally is a 12 month period. In addition, the Company refers certain transactions to financing companies, whereby the financing company advances the full value of the MaaS subscription to the Company, less a processing fee. The advanced payment is recorded in deferred revenue and amortized over the term of the subscription once the ASR is delivered to the deployment site.

The Company derives its revenue from the lease subscription of its proprietary ASRs along with access to its browser and mobile based software interface, KSOC. MaaS subscription agreements typically have a 12 month term.

The Company also records deferred revenue from unfinished contracts for certain ECD related services.

Deferred revenue includes billings in excess of revenue recognized. Revenue recognized at a point in time generally does not result in significant increases in deferred revenue. Revenue recognized over a period generally results in a majority of the increases in deferred revenue as the performance obligations are fulfilled after the billing event. Deferred revenue was as follows:

​ · ​ · ​ · ​
​September 30, 2024
Deferred revenue - short term​$2,477
Revenue recognized in the nine months ended related to amounts included in deferred revenue as of January 1, 2024​$1,441

Deferred revenue represents amounts invoiced to customers for contracts for which revenue has yet to be recognized based for subscription services to be delivered to the Company’s clients. Typically, the timing of invoicing is based on the terms of the contract.

Customer Deposits

Customer deposits primarily relate to sales of ECDs to certain customers dependent upon creditworthiness. The customer deposits are recorded as current liabilities and reclassed as a contra accounts receivable account at the time that the final invoice for the sale is generated following the completion of the revenue recognition criteria.

Disaggregation of revenue

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into the timing of the transfers of goods and services by product line.

The following table summarizes revenue by product line and timing of recognition:

Other revenue, net

Other non-ASR service-related revenues such as deployment services, decals and training revenue are recognized when services are delivered. Revenue from these transactions has been immaterial for all periods presented and is included in service revenue, net.

NOTE 3: Fair Value Measurement

The Company determines the fair market values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The following are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

●Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company considers a market to be active when transactions for the asset occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
●Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
●Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The valuation of Level 3 investments requires the use of significant management judgments or estimation.

In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to valuation, securities are classified as Level 3. Level 3 liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of the convertible preferred stock warrant liabilities. The inputs used in estimating the fair value of the warrant liabilities are described in Note 6 -Capital Stock and Warrants.

The following tables summarize, for each category of assets or liabilities carried at fair value, the respective fair value as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and the classification by level of input within the fair value hierarchy:

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, there wereno transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 assets or liabilities reported at fair value on a recurring basis and the valuation techniques used did not change compared to the Company’s established practice.

As of September 30, 2024, there wereno liabilities measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis.

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of Company’s Level 3 warrant and derivative liabilities during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, which were measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

On September 29, 2023, the Company filed an Offering Circular on Form 1-A/A (File No. 024-12314) (the “Offering Circular”) for the issuance of up to $10.0 million in Public Safety Infrastructure Bonds (the “Bonds”) pursuant to Regulation A of the Securities Act. The Offering Circular was qualified with the SEC on October 2, 2023. The price per Bond is $1,000. The Bonds are unsecured, bearing interest at 10% per annum, payable annually on December 31 each year, starting on December 31, 2024, with the Bonds maturing on thefifth anniversary of the initial issuance.

On October 10, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2022 Purchase Agreement”) with Alto Opportunity Master Fund, SPC - Segregated Master Portfolio B (the “Holder”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Holder in a private placement (i) senior secured convertible notes (the “2022 Notes”), and (ii) warrants (the “2022 Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,138,446 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. The 2022 Warrants included an adjustment mechanism, whereby the exercise price and number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the 2022 Warrants (the “Warrant Exercise Price”) were subject to adjustment from time to time, such that immediately after an issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock (a “Stock Issuance”), excluding At The Market (“ATM”) offering, at any price per share of Class A Common Stock that was lower than the then in effect Warrant Exercise Price (the “Reset Price”), the Warrant Exercise Price would be reduced to equal the Reset Price, and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the 2022 Warrants would be increased to the number necessary to maintain the value of the 2022 Warrants immediately prior to such Stock Issuance. In connection with the entry into the 2022 Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Holder also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “2022 Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide the Holder with certain registration rights under the Securities Act.

On August 1, 2024 (the “Issuance Date”), the Company and the Holder entered into an Agreement and Waiver (the “Waiver”), pursuant to which, on the Issuance Date, the Company issued to the Holder a Senior Secured Promissory Note due on July 1, 2025, in an aggregate amount equal to $3.0 million (the “Principal”) in exchange for the cancellation of the Holder’s 2022 Warrants (the “August 2024 Note”). The Company has agreed to pay the Principal intwo separate installments: the first installment in an amount equal to $2,500,000 payable in 11 equal consecutive monthly installments beginning on September 1, 2024, and the second installment in an amount equal to $500,000 payable on the earlier of (x) October 15, 2024, and (y) upon any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of common stock or common stock equivalents for cash consideration, indebtedness or a combination of units thereof (other than pursuant to a customary at the-market offering program and equity line of credits). Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the August 2024 Note), the Holder may, at its option, exercisable at any time commencing on the public announcement of such Change of Control until the 30 th day after the consummation thereof, require the Company to repay the August 2024 Note in full. The August 2024 Note shall not bear interest; provided, however, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the August 2024 Note), the outstanding principal amount of the Principal shall, automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuance of such Event of Default, bear interest at a rate equal toten percent of the amount payable per annum until such date that the Event of Default is cured or the August 2024 Note is paid in full.

Additionally, pursuant to the Waiver, the Holder agreed that the Company’s obligations under the 2022 Notes, the 2022 Purchase Agreement, the 2022 Registration Rights Agreement, the 2022 Warrants, and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the 2022 Purchase Agreement) have been satisfied in full and such documents are terminated, except that the Company shall continue to

comply with and perform Section 4.10 of the 2022 Purchase Agreement and Section 6 of the 2022 Registration Rights Agreement, in each case which provide for indemnification, and which in each case survive and shall remain in full force and effect.

The Waiver and August 2024 Note contain various representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, financial covenants, events of default and other provisions and obligations.

In connection with the entry into the Waiver and the August 2024 Note, on the Issuance Date, the Company and the Holder entered into a security agreement, pursuant to which the Company granted to the Holder a security interest in substantially all current and future properties, assets, and rights of the Company.

As of September 30, 2024, the outstanding balance of the August 2024 Note is $2.8 million and is included in the current portion of debt obligations.

The amortized carrying amount of the Company’s debt obligations consists of the following:

​​​​​​​
​ · September 30, · ​ · December 31,
​ · 2024 · 2023
Bonds, net of unamortized issuance costs of $336 and $194, respectively​$3,932​$1,242

NOTE 5: Stock-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plans

In April 2014, the Board of Directors adopted the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) allowing for the issuance of up to 40,000 shares of common stock through grants of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or restricted stock units. In December 2016, the 2014 Plan was terminated, and the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a new equity incentive plan defined as the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) in which the remaining 38,720 shares available for issuance under the 2014 Plan at that time were transferred to the Company’s 2016 Plan. Awards outstanding under the 2014 Plan at the time of the 2014 Plan’s termination will continue to be governed by their existing terms. The shares underlying any awards that are forfeited, canceled, repurchased or are otherwise terminated by the Company under the 2014 Plan will be added back to the shares of common stock available for issuance under the Company’s 2016 Plan. The 2016 Plan provides for the granting of stock awards such as incentive stock options, non - statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or restricted stock units to employees, directors and outside consultants as determined by the Board of Directors.

On June 23, 2022, following approval by the Board of Directors, the Company’s stockholders adopted the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”) allowing for the issuance of up to 100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock through grants of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance awards, and other stock or cash-based awards. In connection with the adoption of the 2022 Plan, shares previously available for issuance under the 2016 Plan became available for issuance under the 2022 Plan. The number of shares authorized under the 2022 Plan will be increased each January 1 st, beginning January 1, 2023 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2032, by an amount equal to the lesser of (a)5% of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding on December 31st of the immediately preceding calendar year (rounded up to the nearest whole share) and (b) a number of shares determined by the plan administrator. Shares subject to awards (including under the 2016 Plan and the 2014 Plan) that lapse, expire, terminate, or are canceled prior to the issuance of the underlying shares or that are subsequently forfeited to or otherwise reacquired by us will be added back to the shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2022 Plan.

The Board of Directors may grant stock options under the 2022 Plan at an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the option is granted. Options generally have a term often years from the date of grant. Incentive stock options granted to employees who, on the date of grant, own stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all of the Company’s classes of stock, are granted at an exercise price of not less than 110% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. The maximum term of incentive stock options granted to employees who, on the date of grant, own stock having more than 10% of the voting power of all of the Company’s classes of stock, may not exceed five years. The Board of Directors also determines the terms and conditions of awards, including the vesting schedule and any forfeiture provisions. Options granted under the 2022 Plan may vest upon the passage of time, generally four years, or upon the attainment of certain performance criteria established by the Board of Directors. The Company may from time-to-time grant options to purchase common stock to non-employees for advisory and consulting services. At each measurement date, the Company will remeasure the fair value of these stock options using the Black - Scholes option pricing model and recognize the expense ratably over the vesting period of each stock option award. Stock options comprise all of the awards granted since the 2022 Plan’s inception.

Stock option activity under all of the Company’s equity incentive plans for the nine month period ended September 30, 2024 is as follows:

NOTE 6: Capital Stock and Warrants

On the Preferred Stock Conversion Date, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, each share of the Company’s Super Voting Preferred Stock (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) was automatically converted into fully-paid, non-assessable shares of Class B Common Stock and each share of the Company’s Ordinary Preferred Stock (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) was automatically converted into fully-paid, non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock, in each case at the then effective applicable Conversion Rate (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation), as a result of the receipt by the Company of a written request for such conversion from the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Preferred Stock then outstanding (the “Automatic Conversion”). As a result of the Automatic Conversion, there wereno shares of Preferred Stock outstanding after the Preferred Stock Conversion Date.

For periods subsequent to May 15, 2024, the preferred warrants were no longer subject to contractual modification provisions and were reclassified from a liability classification to an equity classification on the condensed balance sheet.

As described further in Note 1, on August 16, 2024, the Company held an annual meeting of stockholders at which the Company’s stockholders approved, among other items, amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation, to authorize 40,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, issuable in one or more series, and (ii) implement ancillary and conforming changes in connection with the authorization of “blank check” preferred stock and to remove provisions related to the Company’s former Super Voting Preferred Stock and Ordinary Preferred Stock, which are no longer outstanding.

Purchase Commitments

The Company executed a purchase agreement on September 13, 2024, in order to secure the acquisition ofraw materials essential to ASR production. This agreement stipulates monthly purchases of $40 commencing in January 2025 and concluding in August 2026, culminating in a total expenditure of $800.

Legal Matters

The Company may be subject to pending legal proceedings and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business; however, no such claims have been identified as of September 30, 2024 that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company from time to time enters into contracts that contingently require the Company to indemnify parties against third party claims. These contracts primarily relate to: (i) arrangements with clients which generally include certain provisions for indemnifying clients against liabilities if the services infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights, (ii) the Regulation A Issuer Agreement where the Company may be required to indemnify the placement agent for any loss, damage, expense or liability incurred by the other party in any claim arising out of a material breach (or alleged breach) as a result of any potential violation of any law or regulation, or any third party claim arising out of any investment or potential investment in the offering, and (iii) agreements with the Company’s officers and directors, under which the Company may be required to indemnify such persons from certain liabilities arising out of such persons’ relationships with the Company. The Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such obligations and has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the condensed financial statements as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Sales Tax Contingencies

The Company has historically not collected state sales tax on the sale of its MaaS product offering but has paid sales tax and use tax on all purchases of raw materials and in conjunction with the financing arrangement of the Company’s ASRs with Farnam Street Financial. The Company’s MaaS product offering may be subject to sales tax in certain jurisdictions. If a taxing authority were to successfully assert that the Company has not properly collected sales or other transaction taxes, or if sales or other transaction tax laws or the interpretation thereof were to change, and the Company was unable to enforce the terms of their contracts with Clients that give the right to reimbursement for the assessed sales taxes, tax liabilities in amounts that could be material may be incurred. Based on the Company’s assessment, the Company has recorded a use tax liability of $0.4 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 which has been included in other current liabilities on the accompanying condensed balance sheets. The Company continues to analyze possible sales tax exposure but does not currently believe that any individual claim or aggregate claims that might arise will ultimately have a material effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
