•Changes in the fair value of our contingently returnable founder shares and efforts to enforce the return and cancellation of forfeited founder shares could materially affect our financial results.
Current report
Changes in the fair value of our contingently returnable founder shares and efforts to enforce the return and cancellation of forfeited founder shares could materially affect our financial results.
Current report
On July 16, 2026, 1,897,500 contingently returnable shares of NHIC Class B common stock owned by certain NHIC stockholders that were converted into shares of our common stock in connection with the Merger were forfeited and must be returned to us for cancellation pursuant to the agreements governing such shares (the “Forfeited Founder Shares”). To date, a portion of these shares has not been returned to us. We may be required to pursue litigation or other legal action to enforce our contractual rights and compel the return of certain of those Forfeited Founder Shares if the holders do not comply with their contractual obligations. Any such efforts may be time-consuming and costly and may divert management's attention and resources from our operations. Efforts to secure the return and cancellation of Forfeited Founder Shares could result in litigation and significant legal and other expenses. Any delay in the return and cancellation of such shares, or costs incurred in connection with enforcing our rights, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations.
Current report
We account for our contingently returnable founder shares at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. As a result, we may recognize significant non-cash gains or losses that could materially affect our results of operations.

We have a history of losses. We have incurred net losses of $5.9 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $393.7 million. Our ability to forecast our future operating results is subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to plan for and model future growth. We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly evolving industries. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties, which we use to plan our business, are incorrect or change in reaction to changes in our markets, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our operating and financial results could differ materially from expectations, our business could suffer, and the trading price of our stock may decline.

We acquire certain of our materials, which are critical to the ongoing operation and future growth of our business, from several third parties, both foreign and domestic. Generally, our third-party contract manufacturers contract directly with component suppliers, and we rely on our contract manufacturers to manage their supply chains. Our contract manufacturers have experienced, and may in the future experience, supply chain disruptions as a result of health crises, geopolitical tensions, trade restrictions, as well as other global economic impacts or other changes in macroeconomic trends. In the event our contract manufacturers are unable to adequately manage their supply chain or our relationships with our contract manufacturers terminate or are restricted, we could experience delays, which could negatively impact our business, customer relationships, and margins. We also source some materials and components directly from suppliers. While most components and materials for our products are available from multiple suppliers, certain of those items are only available from limited or sole sources. Should any of these suppliers become unavailable or inadequate, or impose terms unacceptable to us, such as increased pricing terms, we could be required to spend a significant amount of time and expense to develop alternate sources of supply, and may not be successful in doing so on terms acceptable to it, or at all. In addition, global acceleration in the adoption of AI technologies has increased worldwide demand for semiconductor components, including memory and computer components, which has strained manufacturing capacity and supplier availability and may exacerbate existing supply shortages, lead times, allocation practices, and cost volatility affecting components used in our products.

Recent changes in U.S. trade policy, including judicial, legislative, and executive actions, have created significant uncertainty with respect to the imposition and duration of tariffs and other trade restrictions. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that certain tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act were invalid. However, the future direction of U.S. trade policy remains uncertain, and new tariffs, duties, trade restrictions or taxes could be imposed under other statutory authorities or as a result of congressional action, trade negotiations, or retaliatory measures by foreign governments. Increased trade restrictions, tariffs or taxes on imports or exports relating to countries where we manufacture, source, or sell materials or products, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results. If we cannot find ways to mitigate the potential impacts from tariffs or trade restrictions successfully or in a timely manner, including through pricing actions, sourcing changes or other measures, these additional tariffs and policies could have a significant impact on our business and results of operations.

We depend on our primary third-party contract manufacturer for the production of our security screening systems. While there are several potential contract manufacturers for most of these products, all our systems are currently manufactured, assembled, tested, and packaged by Columbia Tech. On November 5, 2025, we entered into a non-exclusive contract manufacturing agreement with Plexus Corp which we expect will help us diversify contract manufacturers. While we anticipate reduced product costs and improved gross margin over time, such results may not materialize. Onboarding a new supplier involves various inherent risks that could adversely affect our production capacity and product quality, and negatively impact revenue, gross profits and field service costs.

Previous wording
We recognize a substantial portion of our revenue ratably over the terms of our agreements with customers, which generally occurs over a four-year period. As a result, a substantial portion of the revenue that we report in each period will be derived from the recognition of deferred revenue relating to agreements entered into during previous periods. Consequently, a decline in new sales or renewals in any one period may not be immediately reflected in our revenue results for that period. This decline, however, would negatively affect our revenue in future periods. Accordingly, the effect of significant downturns in sales and market acceptance of our products, and potential changes in our rate of renewals may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods. Our model also makes it difficult to rapidly increase our revenue through additional sales in any period, as revenue from new customers generally will be recognized over the term of the applicable agreement.

In recent years, we have experienced significant growth in both customers and units under subscription. As an increasing number of customers reach the end of their initial subscription terms, renewals have become an increasingly important driver of our recurring revenue and operating results. We have limited historical experience managing renewals at the current and growing scale of our customer base. As a result, we face increased exposure to customer or unit churn, which we define as customers electing not to renew their certain of their subscriptions or renewing at reduced levels. We have limited historical experience managing renewals at the current and growing scale of our customer base. Increased churn or lower renewal rates could adversely affect our recurring revenue, forecasting certainty, and overall financial performance, with impacts that may become more pronounced in future periods.

Some uses of AI pose emerging ethical issues and present a number of risks that cannot be fully mitigated. Using AI while the technology is still developing may expose us to additional liability, reputational harm and threats of litigation, in particular, if these AI or machine learning models are incorrectly designed, developed or implemented, produce errors, AI bias, discrimination or AI hallucinations, result in intellectual property infringement or misappropriation or are adversely impacted by unforeseen defects, technical challenges, open source software issues, data privacy issues, cyber security threats, material performance issues, or otherwise do not function as intended. For example, AI technologies are highly reliant on the collection and analysis of large amounts of data, which may be overbroad, incomplete, inadequate, inaccurate, biased, or otherwise of poor quality. The accuracy of these data inputs and their subsequent effects on the outputs of AI technologies cannot always be verified, potentially leading to outputs that incorporate or are based on inaccurate or erroneous information. If any of the foregoing were to occur, the performance of our products, services, and business, as well as our reputation and the reputations of our customers, could suffer or we could be subject to claims (including product liability claims), litigation (including class actions) or incur liability.

Because AI is a developing technology in its infancy, legal frameworks for AI governance are unsettled, quickly developing, and unpredictable. The use of AI could also lead to legal and regulatory investigations and enforcement actions, or may give rise to specific obligations, including required notices, consents and opt-outs, under various data privacy, protection and cybersecurity laws and regulations in a number of jurisdictions. Further, there is no assurance that new laws and regulations will not restrict the ways we can use the AI we have adopted, including by limiting or changing global AI adoption trends that may impede our strategy. Moreover, regulations relating to AI technologies may also impose certain obligations on organizations, and the costs of monitoring and responding to such regulations, as well as the consequences of non-compliance, could have an adverse effect on our operations or financial condition. Unfavorable legal and regulatory developments could also impact our vendors, suppliers and industry as a whole, and we may be exposed to increased risk of liability, reputational harm, and other significant costs if we need to make business and operational changes in response to such developments.

Companies that incorporate or use open source software in their products have, from time to time, faced claims challenging the use of open source software and compliance with open source license terms. As a result, we could be subject to suits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open source software or claiming non-compliance with open source licensing terms. While we monitor our use of open source software and try to ensure that none is used in a manner that would subject our proprietary software to open source licensing terms (including requiring us to disclose our proprietary source code) or that would otherwise breach the terms of an open source agreement, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful, that all open source software is reviewed prior to use in our products, that our developers have not incorporated open source software into our products that we are unaware of or that they will not do so in the future. Further, use of open source AI technologies poses additional risks relating to the underlying training data sets, including an increased risk in intellectual property infringement or non-compliance with open source license terms as a result of such training data sets potentially derived from data sourced without permission or outside the scope of the underlying open source license.

For example, in the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) imposes requirements on controllers and processors of personal data, including, for example, higher standards for obtaining consent from individuals to process their personal data, more robust disclosures to individuals, a strong individual rights regime, shortened timelines for data breach notifications and restrictions on the transfer of personal data outside of the European Economic Area. Following its departure from the European Union, the United Kingdom has adopted a separate regime based on the GDPR (“UK GDPR”) that imposes similarly onerous requirements. Companies that violate the EU or UK regime can face regulatory investigations, private litigation, prohibitions on data processing, and fines. Other EU and UK data protection laws and evolving regulatory guidance restrict the ability of companies to market electronically, including through the use of cookies and similar technologies, and companies are increasingly subject to strict enforcement action including fines for non-compliance.

United Kingdom and Switzerland, to third countries, unless the transfer is to a country deemed to provide adequate protection or the parties to the transfer have implemented specific safeguards to protect the transferred personal data. European case law and guidance have imposed additional onerous requirements in relation to data transfers, and we expect the existing legal complexity and uncertainty regarding international personal data transfers to continue in Europe and globally. If we do not implement the relevant transfer mechanism to transfer personal data, we may violate or infringe data privacy legislation requirements, and we may be exposed to regulatory proceedings or litigation and increased exposure to fines, penalties, or commercial liabilities, as well as reputational damages.
Current wording
Certain data privacy legislation restricts the cross-border transfer of personal data and some countries have introduced data localization into their laws. Specifically, the GDPR, the UK GDPR and other European and UK data protection laws generally prohibit the transfer of personal data from Europe, including the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland, to third countries, unless the transfer is to a country deemed to provide adequate protection or the parties to the transfer have implemented specific safeguards to protect the transferred personal data.

Our Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, limitations on us and our subsidiaries with respect to liens, incurrence of indebtedness, certain fundamental changes, restricted payments, investments and transactions with affiliates, in each case, subject to exceptions. We therefore may not be able to engage in any of the foregoing transactions unless we obtain the consent of the lenders or terminate the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, which may limit our operating flexibility. In addition, our Senior Secured Credit Facilities are secured by a first lien on substantially all of our assets and require the Company to comply with a minimum annual recurring revenue covenant, a minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) covenant that takes effect on June 30, 2027, and a minimum liquidity covenant that would cease to apply following the resolution of certain litigation and regulatory matters, in addition to reporting requirements of periodic financial results. If we do not meet the financial covenants as specified in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, we may require forbearance or relief from our financial covenant violations from the lenders or be required to arrange alternative financing.
