Reworded topics: cybersecurity incident, breach

Paragraph as it now reads, with added and removed wording marked:

The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyberattacks or cyber intrusion, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. Furthermore, because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to, or to sabotage, systems change frequently and often are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures. We may also experience security breaches that may remain undetected for an extended period. Even if identified, we may be unable to adequately investigate or remediate incidents or breaches due to attackers increasingly using tools and techniques that are designed to circumvent controls, to avoid detection, and to remove or obfuscate forensic evidence. There can be no assurance that our and our third-party service providers’, strategic partners’, contractors’ and consultants’ cybersecurity risk management program and processes, including policies, controls or procedures, will be fully implemented, complied with or effective in protecting our systems, networks and Confidential Information. We and certain of our service providers are from time to time subject to cyberattacks and security incidents. WhileTo date, we dohave not believeidentified any cybersecurity incidents that we believe have experiencedmaterially anyaffected significantour systembusiness, failure, accident or security breach to date,However, if such an event were to occur and cause interruptions in our operations, it could result in a material disruption of our development programs and our business operations, whether due to a loss, corruption or unauthorized disclosure of our trade secrets, personal information or other proprietary or sensitive information or other similar disruptions. It could also expose us to risks, including an inability to provide our services and fulfill contractual demands, and could cause management distraction and the obligation to devote significant financial and other resources to mitigate such problems, which would increase our future information security costs, including through organizational changes, deploying additional personnel, reinforcing administrative, physical and technical safeguards, further training of employees, changing third-party vendor control practices and engaging third-party subject matter experts and consultants and reduce the demand for our technology and services.

Reworded

We have not yet generated any profits or significant revenues,and anticipate that we will incur continued losses for the foreseeable future,future and may never achieve profitability.

Reworded

As noted above, the Company has a history of losses and has projected operating losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future, and we are currently dependent on additional fundraising in order to sustain our ongoing operations. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), contemplating that we will continue to operate as a going concern. However, weWe cannot assure you that the Company will be successful in acquiring additional funding at levels sufficient to fund future operations. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to it, the Company may have to significantly reduce its operations or delay, scale back or discontinue the development of additional products and services, seek alternative financing arrangements, declare bankruptcy or otherwise terminate its operations entirely.

Reworded

TheWe Company expectsexpect to experience future losses as itwe implementsimplement itsour business strategy and will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, which may not occur.

Reworded

Investment in new businessproducts strategiesand services may not achieve expected returns and could disrupt our ongoing business, present risks not originally contemplated and materially adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition.

Reworded

We have invested, and in the future may invest, in the research, development and marketing of new businessproducts strategies.and services, including the K7 ASR and the K1 Capsule and Super Tower. We intend for these initiatives to drive efficiencies and improve margins. Such endeavors may involve significant risks and uncertainties, including distraction of management from current operations, greater-than-expected liabilities and expenses, new claims or litigation, economic, political, legal and regulatory challenges, inadequate return on capital, unrealized benefits or unanticipated delays in realized benefits, potential impairment of tangible and intangible assets, and significant write-offs. Additionally, if customers do not perceive our new products and software as providing significant value, they may not readily adopt them and we may not achieve returns on our investment. Developing new technologies is complex and can require long development and testing periods. We could experience significant delays in new releases or significant problems in creating new products or services, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the capital required for our investment in any new business strategiesproducts or new investmentsservices may require us to raise additional capital, including debt or equity securities. These transactions may impose additional restrictions on our ability to operate and/or may be dilutive to you. In the event that additional liquidity is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise the capital on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Reworded

TheWe Company isare subject to potential fluctuations in operating results due to itsour sales cycle.

Reworded

Our success depends on our ability to acquire new customers in new and existing markets, and inincluding new and existing geographic markets. If we are unable to attract a sufficient number of new customers, we may be unable to generate revenue growth at desired rates. Our industry is competitive and our competitors may have substantial financial, personnel and other resources that they can utilize to develop solutions and attract customers. As a result, it may be difficult for us to add new customers to our customer base. Competition in the marketplace may also lead us to win fewer new customers or result in us providing discounts and other commercial incentives.

Reworded

While ourOur immediate focus is on the U.S. market, and our long-term success will in part depend on our ability to acquire new customers outside the USA.U.S. If customers in other countries do not perceive the threat of security, or of firearms and weaponssecurity to be significant enough to justify the purchase of our products, we will be unable to establish a meaningful business outside the USA.U.S. If we are unable to attract a sufficient number of new customers outside the USA,U.S., we may be unable to generate future revenue growth at desired rates in the long term.

Added

The failure to identify, consummate, effectively integrate or realize the expected benefits from acquisitions could adversely affect our growth and our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Added

We periodically evaluate selective acquisitions in connection with our growth strategy. The success of our growth strategy is dependent, in part, on our ability to identify suitable acquisitions, prevail against competing potential acquirers and negotiate and consummate acquisitions on terms attractive to us. It is also dependent on our ability to effectively integrate and realize the expected benefits from acquisitions.

Added

The combination of independent businesses is a complex, costly, and time-consuming process that requires significant management attention and resources. The potential difficulties we may face in integrating the operations of our acquisitions include, among others:

Added

We may maintain, achieve or increase revenue, from companies that we acquire. If we experience difficulties with the integration process or if the business of any acquired company or business deteriorates, the anticipated cost savings, growth opportunities and other synergies of any acquired company and business may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. Any or all of these factors could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers, suppliers, and employees, or achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. In addition, many of these factors are outside of our control, and any one of these factors could result in additional or unforeseen costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenues and additional diversion of management’s time and energy, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations and cash flows may be materially and adversely impacted.

Reworded

The Company’sOur future operating results are difficult to predict and may be affected by a number of factors, many of which are outside of the Company’sour control.

Reworded

Our financial results have fluctuated in the past and will fluctuate in the future. Additionally, we have a limited operating history with the current scale of our business, which makes it difficult to forecast future results. As a result, you should not rely upon the Company’sour past financial results as indicators of future performance. You should take into account the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by rapidly growing companies in evolving markets. Our financial results in any given quarter can be influenced by numerous factors, many of which we are unable to predict or are outside of our control, including:

Reworded

Additionally, we currently have one U.S. government customer and expect to have additional U.S. government customers in the future. If the U.S. government does not complete its budget process before its fiscal year-end, government operations may be funded by means of a continuing resolution. Under a continuing resolution, the government essentially authorizes agencies of the U.S. government to continue to operate and fund programs at the prior year end but does not authorize new spending initiatives. When the U.S. government operates under a continuing resolution, or should appropriations legislation not be enacted prior to the expiration of such continuing resolution resulting in a partial shut-down of federal government operations, government agencies may delay the procurement of services, which could reduce our future revenue. For other risks associated with our U.S. government customers, see “We have a government customer and are seeking additional government customers, which subject us to risks including early termination, audits, investigations, sanctions, or penalties.”

Reworded

Uncertainty about current and future global economic conditions may cause our customers and partners to cancel agreements with us, or potential customers and partners to hesitate to enter into agreements with us. Our financial success is sensitive to changes in general economic and financial conditions, including tariffs or other trade restrictions, interest rates, energy costs, labor costs, inflation, commodity prices, unemployment levels, consumer debt levels, tax rates and other changes in tax laws, public health issues like the COVID-19 pandemic, or other economic factors, certain of which effects, including cost inflation, we experienced inthe 2022,last 2023four and 2024years and expect to continue to experience in 2025.2026.

Reworded

Similarly, global conflicts including the ongoing wars between Russia and UkraineUkraine, Iran and U.S. and Israel and Hamas have created volatility in the global capital markets and are expected to continue to have further global economic consequences, such as disruptions of the global supply chain and energy markets. Any such continued volatility and disruptions may adversely affect our business or the third parties on whom we rely. If the equity and credit markets deteriorate, including as a result of political unrest or war, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult to obtain in a timely manner or on favorable terms, more costly or more dilutive. Increased inflation rates have already, and may continue to, adversely affect us by increasing our costs, including labor and employee benefit costs. In addition, higher inflation and macro turmoil and uncertainty could also adversely affect our customers, which could reduce demand for our products.

Reworded

Our employee headcount and the scope and complexity of our business have increased significantly since we were first formed, and we expect it will continue as we grow over the long term. The growth and expansion of our business and products create significant challenges for our management, operational, and financial resources, including managing multiple relationships and interactions with users, distributors, vendors, and other third parties. As the Company grows, our information technology systems, internal management processes, internal controls and procedures and productionmanufacturing processes may not be adequate to support our operations. To ensure success, we must continue to improve our operational, financial, and management processes and systems and to effectively expand, train, and manage our employee base. As we grow, and implement more complex organizational and management structures, we may find it increasingly difficult to maintain the benefits of our corporate culture, including our current team’s efficiency and expertise, which could negatively affect our business performance.

Reworded

Providing our products is costly because of our research and development expenses, productionmanufacturing costs, operating costs and need for employees with specialized skills. We expect our expenses to continue to increase in the future as we expand our product offerings, expand productionmanufacturing capabilities and hire additional employees. Historically, our costs have increased each year due to these factors and thewe Company expectsexpect to continue to incur increasing costs, in particular for working capital to purchase inventory, marketing and product deployments as well as costs of client support in the field. Our expenses may be greater than we anticipate, which would have a negative impact on our financial position, assets and ability to invest further in the growth and expansion of the business. In addition, expansion across the country will require increased marketing, sales, promotion and other operating expenses. Further, as additional competitors enter our market, we expect an increased pressure on productionmanufacturing costs and margins.

Reworded

WeIn the fourth quarter of 2023, we issued unsecured Public Safety Infrastructure Bonds (the “Bonds”) bearing interest at 10% per annum, payable annually on December 31 each year, starting on December 31, 2024, in the fourth quarter of 2023 with a principal amount totaling approximately $1.4 million. We issued additional Bonds from January of 2024 through March 14, 2024, with a principal amount of approximately $2.8 million. In total, we issued Bonds with a principal amount of approximately $4.3 million through the life of the Bond offering.

Reworded

The loss of one or more key executives, the lack of a succession plan, or our inability to attract and retain qualified professionals in critical areas such as finance, legal, engineering, and productionmanufacturing could negatively impact our operations and growth. Inflationary pressures and fluctuations in the perceived value of our equity compensation may further affect employee retention. Additionally, recent and future changes in our boardBoard of directorsDirectors and senior management may disrupt our business, create uncertainty among investors, employees, and customers, and adversely impact our financial condition and stock price.

Reworded

TheWe Company reliesrely and expectsexpect to continue to rely on a combination of confidentiality agreements with itsour employees, consultants, and third parties with whom itwe hashave relationships, as well as trademark, copyright, patent, trade secret, and domain name protection laws, to protect its proprietary rights. TheWe Company hashave filed in the USAU.S. various applications for protection of certain aspects of itsour intellectual property, and we currently holdshold twelve patents. However, third parties may knowingly or unknowingly infringe our proprietary rights, third parties may challenge proprietary rights held by us, and pending and future trademark and patent applications may not be approved. In addition, effective intellectual property protection may not be available in every country in which we intend to operate in the future. In any or all of these cases, we may be required to expend significant time and expense in order to prevent infringement or to enforce our rights. Although we have taken measures to protect our proprietary rights, we cannot assure you that others will not offer products or concepts that are substantially similar to our products and compete with our business. In addition, we may not have the financial or human resources to devote to adequately defending our intellectual property rights. If the protection of our proprietary rights is inadequate to prevent unauthorized use or appropriation by third parties, the value of our brand and other intangible assets may be diminished and competitors may be able to more effectively mimic our service and methods of operations. Any of these events could have an adverse effect on our business and financial results.

Reworded

We are aware of a number of other companies that are developing physical security technology in the USAU.S. and abroad that may potentially compete with our technology and services. These or new competitors may have more resources than us or may be better capitalized, which may give them a significant advantage, for example, in offering better pricing than the Company, surviving an economic downturn or in reaching profitability. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against existing or emerging competitors. Additionally, existing private security firms may also compete on price by lowering their operating costs, developing new business models or providing other incentives.

Reworded

Our products, especiallyincluding the ASRs, may collect, store and may analyze certain types of personal or identifying information regarding individuals that interact with the ASRs. The regulatory framework for privacy and security issues is rapidly evolving worldwide and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Federal and state government bodies and agencies have in the past adopted, and may in the future adopt, laws and regulations affecting data privacy, which in turn affect the breadth and type of features that we can offer to our clients. In addition, our clients have separate internal policies, procedures and controls regarding privacy and data security with which we may be required to comply. In many deployments, our customers determine the manner and purposes for which our technologies are configured and used, which may affect the applicability of certain legal requirements. Because the interpretation and application of many privacy and data protection laws are uncertain, it is possible that these laws may be interpreted or applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our current data management practices or the features of our products. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, lawsuits and other claims and penalties, we could be required to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or modify our products, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Additionally, we may become a target of information-focused or data collection attacks and any inability to adequately address privacy and security concerns, even if unfounded, or comply with applicable privacy and data security laws, regulations, and policies, could result in additional cost and liability to us, damage our reputation, inhibit sales, and adversely affect our business. Furthermore, the costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, the laws, regulations, and policies that are applicable to the businesses of our clients may limit the use and adoption of, and reduce the overall demand for, our products. Privacy and data security concerns, whether valid or not valid, may inhibit market adoption of our products, particularly in certain industries and foreign countries. If we are not able to adjust to changing laws, regulations, our business may be harmed.

Reworded

As our operations and business grow, we may become subject to or affected by new or additional data protection laws and regulations and face increased scrutiny or attention from regulatory authorities. In the USA, certain states have also adopted privacy and security laws and regulations, which govern the privacy, processing and protection of health-related and other personal information. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, the “CCPA”), requires covered businesses that process the personal information of California residents to, among other things: provide certain disclosures to California residents regarding the business’s collection, use, and disclosure of their personal information; receive and respond to requests from California residents to access, delete, and correct their personal information, or to opt out of certain disclosures of their personal information, and enter into specific contractual provisions with service providers that process California resident personal information on the business’s behalf.behalf SimilarAdditional comprehensive state privacy laws have beenbecome passedeffective in otherrecent years, and more states and are continuingcontinue to beenact proposedor atconsider similar legislation, increasing the statecomplexity andof federalcompliance level,for reflectingcompanies aoperating trend toward more stringent privacy legislation in the USA.nationwide. Additional compliance investment and potential business process changes may also be required. The enactment of such laws could have potentially conflicting requirements that would make compliance challenging.

Any such changes at the federal level could require us to expend significant resources to modify our products, services, or operations to ensure compliance or remain competitive..competitive. Already, agencies such as the Department of Commerce and the FTC have issued proposed rules governing the use and development of AI. U.S. legislation related to AI has also been introduced at the federal level and is advancing at the state level. For example, the California Privacy Protection Agency is currently in the process of finalizing regulations under the CCPA regarding the use of automated decision-making. California also enacted seventeen new laws in 2024 that further regulate use of AI Technologies and provide consumers with additional protections around companies’ use of AI Technologies, such as requiring companies to disclose certain uses of generative AI. Other states have also passed AI-focused legislation, such as Colorado’s Artificial Intelligence Act, which will require developers and deployers of “high-risk” AI systems to implement certain safeguards against algorithmic discrimination, and Utah’s Artificial Intelligence Policy Act, which establishes disclosure requirements and accountability measures for the use of generative AI in certain consumer interactions. Such additional regulations may impact our ability to develop, use and commercialize AI technologies in the future.

The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyberattacks or cyber intrusion, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. Furthermore, because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to, or to sabotage, systems change frequently and often are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures.

Our ASRs operate autonomously in environments, such as shopping malls, parking lots and stadiums, that are surrounded by various moving and stationary physical obstacles and by humans and vehicles. Such environments are prone to collisions, unintended interactions and various other incidents, regardless of our technology. Therefore, our ASRs have been in the past and may in the future be involved in a collision with any number of such obstacles. Our ASRs contain a number of advanced sensors that are designed to prevent any such incidents and are intended to stop any motion at the detection of intervening objects. Nonetheless, real-life environments, especially those in crowded areas, are unpredictable and situations have in the past arisen and may in the future arise in which the ASRs may not perform as intended. Infrequent,Incidents but highly publicized incidents ofinvolving autonomous vehicle and human interactions,systems, including those involving ourthird ASRs,parties, have focusedreceived consumerpublic attention on the safety of our and other systems.attention. We cannot assure you that a collision, including with property or with humans, will not occur. Any such collision or other incident could damage the ASR, lead to personal injury or property damage, and may subject us to lawsuits. Moreover, any actual or perceived incident, even without any resulting damage, may lead to adverse publicity for us. Such lawsuits or adverse publicity would negatively affect our brand and harm our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

TheWe Company isare actively seeking to secure a material amount of business from the U.S. federal government. TheWe Company hashave entered into itsour first government contract with the VAU.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as well as a Phase 1 contract fromwith the U.S. Air Force. These types of agreements may subject the Companyus to statutes, regulations and contract obligations applicable to companies doing business with the government. Government contracts customarily contain provisions that give the government substantial rights and remedies, many of which are not typically found in commercial contracts and which are unfavorable to contractors, including provisions that allow the government to unilaterally terminate or modify federal government contracts, in whole or in part, at the government’s convenience or in the government’s best interest, including if funds become unavailable to the applicable government agency. Under general principles of government contracting law, if the government terminates a contract for convenience, the terminated company may generally recover only its incurred or committed costs and settlement expenses and profit on work completed prior to the termination. If the government terminates a contract for default, the defaulting company may be liable for any extra costs incurred by the government in procuring undelivered items from another source.

Reworded

Additionally, although the Company has receivedobtained itsan Authority to Operate fromunder the FedRAMP,Federal Risk And Authorization Management Program (“FedRAMP”) program, any change to our moderate cloud solution FedRAMP status could impede our ability to enter into contracts with government entities. If we do not successfully manage our FedRAMP status, our sales to government entities could be delayed or limited, and as a result, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be adversely affected.

Reworded

Changes of administration in the U.S. federal government may affect our business in a manner that currently cannot be reliably predicted. For example, an advisory commission, the “Department of Government Efficiency” was announced in 2025 to reform federal government processes and reduce expenditures. Pressures on and uncertainty surrounding the U.S. federal government’s budget, and potential change in budgetary priorities could adversely affect individual programs and delay purchasing or payment decisions by certain of our existing or targeted customers. All of these uncertainties may individually or in the aggregate materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our Class A Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “KSCP.” In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements, including maintaining a minimum bid price and a minimum market value. The inability to comply with applicable listing requirements or standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) could result in the delisting of our Class A Common Stock, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and could cause the value of our Class A Common Stock to decline.

The CompanyWe will need to seek additional funds in the future.

Reworded

TheWe Company projectsproject operating losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. See Liquidity and Capital Resources. We will require additional funds to maintain our operations and respond to business challenges and opportunities, including the need to develop new products or enhance our existing products, enhance our operating infrastructure or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we will need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds, such as our current at-the-market offering program.

Removed

We will continue to incur significant costs as a result of operating as a listed public company and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives and corporate governance practices.

Removed

As a listed public company, and particularly in the future when we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we have not incurred in the past. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of Nasdaq and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on public companies. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to comply with these requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, we expect that these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, which could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we will incur as a listed public company or the timing of such costs.

We may be unable to successfully integrate the businesses and personnel of acquired companies and businesses, and may not realize the anticipated synergies and benefits of such acquisitions.

Removed

From time to time, we may complete acquisitions of companies and certain businesses of companies, and we may not realize the expected benefits from such acquisitions because of integration difficulties or other challenges.

Removed

The success of any acquisition will depend, in part, on our ability to realize all or some of the anticipated synergies and other benefits from integrating the acquired businesses with our existing business. The integration process may be complex, costly and time-consuming. The potential difficulties we may face in integrating the operations of our acquisitions include, among others:

Removed

We may not be able to maintain or increase the levels of revenue, earnings or operating efficiency that any acquired company and business and us had historically achieved or might achieve separately. In addition, we may not accomplish the integration of any acquired company and business smoothly, successfully or within the anticipated costs or timeframe. If we experience difficulties with the integration process or if the business of any acquired company or business deteriorates, the anticipated cost savings, growth opportunities and other synergies of any acquired company and business may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected.

Removed

If any of the above risks occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be materially and adversely impacted, we may fail to meet the expectations of investors or analysts, and our stock price may decline as a result.

Increasing attention to, and evolving expectations for, environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) initiatives could increase our costs, harm our reputation, or otherwise adversely impact our business.

Reworded

Companies across industries are facing increasing scrutiny from a variety of stakeholders related to their ESG practices. Expectations regarding ESG initiatives and disclosures may result in increased costs (including but not limited to increased costs related to compliance, stakeholder engagement, contracting and insurance), changes in demand for certain offerings, enhanced compliance or disclosure obligations, or other adverse impacts to our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Risks Related to the Event Risk Acquisition

Added

The Event Risk Acquisition may not achieve its intended results.

Added

Although we currently anticipate that the Event Risk Acquisition will accelerate our long-term strategy to operate a fully integrated autonomous security platform, we may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the Event Risk Acquisition, encounter additional transaction and integration-related costs, or be affected by other factors that impact our ability to successfully combine Event Risk’s security guarding services into the Knightscope platform, any of which could decrease or delay the expected accretion and contribute to a decrease in the price of our common stock.

Added

We completed the Event Risk Acquisition anticipating various benefits to the Company, including integrating Event Risk’s licensed response services with Knightscope’s autonomous machines and AI-driven orchestration software to build a unified operating model designed to deliver deterrence, detection and response as one coordinated system. Achievement of the anticipated benefits is subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to effectively integrate the acquired business, which may be complex, costly, and time-consuming. Additional challenges could include (i) issues or costs in integrating our key systems; (ii) retaining industry, vendor, and other business relationships; (iii) possible inconsistencies between our standards, controls, policies, and procedures and those of Event Risk and the resources required to implement or improve them to meet public company standards; and (iv) potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen expenses or delays. There could be potential unknown liabilities or unforeseen expenses not discovered during due diligence and not adequately covered by any indemnification. Any such conditions could cause the value of the acquired business to decline or reduce the benefits of the Event Risk Acquisition to the Company and its stockholders.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023,2024, filed with the SEC on AprilMarch 1,31, 2024.2025.

Added

Knightscope is a security technology company providing technology-enabled security solutions through ASRs, ECDs, and real-time monitoring capabilities supported by our cloud-based KSOC and our RTX remote monitoring team. During 2025, we continued to operate and refine this integrated platform while investing in next-generation technologies.

Added

Total revenue increased to approximately $11.3 million in 2025 from approximately $10.8 million in 2024, driven primarily by growth in service-related revenue and ECD product sales. However, significant supply chain constraints, particularly affecting electronic components and certain single-source suppliers within our ECD product line, resulted in extended lead times, intermittent production interruptions, higher input costs, and delivery delays that impacted revenue timing and margin performance during the year.

Added

Recent Developments

Added

On February 27, 2026, we completed the Event Risk Acquisition of all the issued and outstanding membership interest of Event Risk pursuant to the Event Risk Agreement. As a result of the transaction, Event Risk became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The aggregate purchase consideration consisted of (i) a $5.0 million cash payment at closing, (ii) repayment of Event Risk’s outstanding indebtedness of $1.1 million, (iii) the issuance of 1,724,418 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, (iv) $4.0 million of deferred cash payments, payable in quarterly installments beginning March 31, 2027 through December 31, 2028 and (v) any post-closing purchase price adjustments.

Added

See Note 11 to our financial statements, which are included in Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report for additional information on the Event Risk Acquisition and “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Event Risk Acquisition” of this Annual Report for a discussion of the associated risks. The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Event Risk Agreement filed as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our ASR portfolio includes:

Added

●K1 Hemisphere

Added

●K1 Tower

Added

●K5 ASR

Added

Service revenue associated with ASR deployments remained a significant component of our recurring revenue base in 2025. The K5 platform continued to represent the majority of mobile robot deployments. Revenue from Machine-as-a-Service (“MaaS”) subscriptions remained relatively stable year-over-year, reflecting both ongoing deployments and downtime credits associated with service-level performance.

Added

The K7 ASR remains in development and did not contribute revenue in 2025. Engineering resources continued to be allocated toward mechanical design refinement, sensor integration, durability testing, and software integration. Commercial production is not expected until late 2026 or early 2027, subject to development milestones and supply chain readiness.

Added

Each deployed ASR integrates light detection and ranging, imaging systems, and AI-based detection capabilities designed to enhance deterrence, situational awareness, and reporting. Throughout 2025, development efforts focused on improving overall performance.

●Call Boxes

Added

ECD revenue increased in 2025, particularly in product sales; however, the segment experienced significant supply chain pressures during the year.

Added

Global electronic component shortages, tariff-related cost increases, and extended lead times from certain suppliers - some of which are single-source for specialized components - constrained production schedules and contributed to inconsistent shipment timing. These constraints resulted in higher bill-of-material costs and intermittent production shortfalls, which negatively impacted both revenue timing and gross margin performance.

Added

The KEMS continues to support remote monitoring and diagnostics for deployed ECD systems. KEMS functionality remained stable in 2025, with ongoing refinements to monitoring and reporting capabilities.

Added

Strategic Resource Allocation in 2025

Added

While 2025 operating performance remained primarily driven by existing ASR and ECD platforms, we allocated capital and engineering resources toward:

Added

●Development of the K7 platform;

Added

●Development of the next generation K1 platform; and

Added

These investments increased research and development activity and were made with the objective of supporting long-term scalability and integration across our hardware, software, and human operations.

Removed

Knightscope is committed to providing comprehensive public safety solutions, including enhanced emergency communication capabilities. Our solar powered K1 Blue Light Towers, Ephones and Emergency Call Boxes offer an immediate lifeline to security personnel, law enforcement, and emergency responders. These systems are strategically deployed in universities, corporate campuses, transit stations, and other public areas to ensure rapid response in critical situations. The Knightscope Emergency Monitoring System (“KEMS”), integrated into our ECDs, includes a self-diagnostic, alarm monitoring software solution that provides system owners with daily reports on the operational status of their emergency devices. The cloud-based application monitors the overall system's health, alerts users to operational issues, provides real-time error detection and diagnostics, and generates system performance reports.

Removed

In addition to our physical communication devices, our ASRs are equipped with emergency call buttons, allowing individuals to establish a direct connection with our 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC). This feature provides a critical communication link during emergencies, enhancing presence and responsiveness.

Removed

We continue to advance our autonomous response capabilities, enabling ASRs to navigate to specific locations, assess threats, and relay real-time information to human operators. These systems can broadcast pre-recorded messages, provide live two-way audio communication, and integrate with existing infrastructure to facilitate coordinated response efforts.

Removed

We derive our revenue from two primary sources: a) subscription based Machines-as-a-Service (MaaS) offering which includes the ASRs as well as maintenance, service, support, data transfer, KSOC access, charging stations, and unlimited software, firmware and select hardware upgrades and b) the sale of ECD products and related recurring revenues from KEMS and full-service maintenance contracts.

Removed

The Company has incurred net losses since inception. Our net loss was $31.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and $22.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $193.2 million. Cash and cash equivalents on hand were $11.1 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to $2.3 million as of December 31, 2023. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. See Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business and the Global Economy—We have not yet generated any profits, anticipate that we will incur continued losses for the foreseeable future, and may never achieve profitability.

Removed

Our strategy is to try to keep driving a decrease in our overall costs while achieving our overall growth objectives.

Removed

As of March 27, 2025, the Company had a total backlog of approximately $1.8 million, comprised of $0.5 million related to ASR orders and $1.3 million related to orders for ECDs.

2024 Developments

Removed

In 2024, the Company made strategic decisions that impacted its operations and its capital structure with the goal to establish a foundation to pursue long-term profitable growth and to simplify its corporate structure. In the short-term, our strategic operational initiatives resulted in unfavorable impacts, including a reduction in revenue and an increase in operational costs. However, we firmly believe they are essential investments in our future growth and market positioning and although these decisions have led to lower revenues in the near term, we remain confident in their long-term potential to enhance our competitive advantage, drive sustainable value creation, and position the company for long-term success.

Removed

In the first quarter of 2024, Knightscope undertook significant leadership and governance enhancements to better align the Company with its long-term strategic objectives. We appointed a new Chief Financial Officer and appointed independent board members with extensive industry and financial expertise, strengthening oversight and strategic direction. Additionally, throughout the year, we streamlined our management structure by reducing approximately 40% of executive and senior leadership roles, fostering greater efficiency in decision-making and operational execution.

Removed

Early in 2024, the Company discovered that quality issues plaguing our K5 ASRs in the field would cost too much to resolve and likely have a negative impact on our client experience. Management made the strategic decision to swap out all impacted ASRs with new ones at no cost to our clients.

Removed

As part of our ongoing commitment to operational excellence, we conducted a comprehensive restructuring of the Emergency Communication Division (ECD), which we acquired through the CASE acquisition in 2022. Upon review, it became evident that legacy CASE business processes lacked modern processes, were largely manual, and led to inefficiencies, excessive costs, and financial underperformance. We took decisive action in furtherance of our goal to achieving profitability in the long-term.

Removed

To address these challenges, we implemented a series of strategic and structural changes, including:

As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, wethe Company had $11.4$8.2 million of cash and cash equivalents. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the Company also had an accumulated deficit of $237.3$251.4 million, working capital of $7.0$2.4 million, and stockholders’ equity of $34.0$29.6 million. For the quartersix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the Company had a net loss of $10.3$24.4 million and cash used in operating activities of $11.6$23.1 million. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will require significant additional financing to meet its planned capital and operational needs and is pursuing opportunities to obtain additional financing through equity and/or debt alternatives. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in acquiring additional funding at levels sufficient to fund its future operations. Management’s plans include seeking additional financing, such as issuances of equity and issuances of debt and/or convertible debt instruments. Sales of additional equity securities, convertible debt and/or warrants by the Company could result in the dilution of the interests of existing stockholders. However, there can be no assurance that financing will be available when required in sufficient amounts, on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to it, the Company may have to significantly reduce its operations, delay, scale back or discontinue the development of one or more of its platforms or discontinue operations completely.
