Supply chain disruptions, including those which may impact our ability to obtain critical parts at reasonable prices, could adversely affect our business, disrupt operations, and impact our profitability.
Our international operations, and in particular Bressner's operations in Germany, subject us to a variety of risks and challenges.
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information in this Annual Report, including our financial statements and the related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” before deciding whether to invest in our common stock. The occurrence of any of the events or developments described below could harm our business, financial condition, operating results, and growth prospects. In such an event, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations.
Our worldwide operations could be disrupted by earthquakes, telecommunications failures, power or water shortages, outages at cloud service providers, tsunamis, floods, hurricanes, typhoons, fires, extreme weather conditions, cyber-attacks, terrorist attacks, war or military conflicts (such as the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the more recent conflictconflicts betweenin Israelthe andMiddle HamasEast), medical epidemics or pandemics and other natural or man-made disasters, catastrophic events or climate change. The occurrence of any of these disruptions could harm our business and result in significant losses, a decline in revenue and an increase in our costs and expenses. Any of these business disruptions could require substantial expenditure and recovery time in order to fully resume operations.
Our corporate headquarters, and a portion of our research and development activities, are located in California, and other critical business operations, finished goods inventory, and some of our suppliers are located in Europe and Asia, near major earthquake faults known for seismic activity. The manufacture of product components, the final assembly of our products and other critical operations are concentrated in certain geographic locations, including California and Germany.California. Geopolitical change or changes in government regulations and policies in the United States or abroad may result in changing regulatory requirements, economic sanctions (such as those recently imposed by the United States and other countries on Russia), trade policies, import duties (such as recent tariffs applied on many imports) and economic disruptions that could impact our operating strategies, product demand, access to global markets, hiring, and profitability. In particular, revisions to laws or regulations or their interpretation and enforcement could result in increased taxation, trade sanctions, the imposition of additional import duties or tariffs, restrictions and controls on imports or exports, or other retaliatory actions, which could have an adverse effect on our business plans.
For example, regulations to implement the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 could have an adverse effect on our business plans. Additionally, tariffs and the threat of tariffs, including both United States sanctioned tariffs and the potential for retaliatory tariffs, have contributed to uncertainty and supply chain disruptions that could impact our operations. We conduct final assembly and test of products at our facility in California. However, we source components and subassemblies from both within and outside of the United States. While we attempt to pass on the cost of tariffs to our customers, our ability to do so is dependent upon many factors, including the predictability of tariff rates and market conditions for the Company's products. Potential changes in trade policy and tariff rates could result in increased costs, decreased revenue, or other negative effects to our financial condition.
For example, regulations to implement the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 could have an adverse effect on our business plans. Additionally, On February 1, 2025, U.S. President Trump issued three executive orders directing the United States to impose new tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico and China. The tariffs impose and additional 25% rate of duty on imports from Canada and Mexico and 10% on imports from China. While the force and immediacy of these orders are currently unclear, enforcement of such tariffs could result in an increase costs, decreased revenue and overall have a negative effect on the financial condition of the Company.
We are currently operating in a period of economic uncertainty and capital markets disruption, which has been significantly impacted by geopolitical instability. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any negative impact on the global economy and capital markets resulting from military conflicts or any other geopolitical tensions.
U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions,tensions includingin asmultiple a resultregions of the continuing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the more recent conflict between Israel and Hamas.world. Recently, international relations between the U.S. and Russia, certain Middle Eastern nations as well as certain other countries, has been strained, and they may continue to deteriorate further. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military conflicts are highly unpredictable, the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel/Palestinethe Middle East could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions. We are continuing to monitor the situation in Ukraine, Israel/Palestinethe Middle East, and globallyglobally, and assessing its potential impact on our business.
Additionally, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine has led to sanctions and other penalties being levied by the United States, European Union and other countries against Russia. Additional potential sanctions and penalties have also been proposed and/or threatened. Russian military actions and the resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets, potentially making it more difficult for us to obtain additional funds.
Although our business has not been materially impacted by the ongoing military conflict between Russian and Ukraine, Israel and Hamas or other geopolitical instability to date, it is impossible to predict the extent to which our operations, or those of our suppliers and manufacturers, will be impacted in the short and long term, or the ways in which thethese conflictconflicts may impact our business. The extent and duration of the military action,actions, sanctionssanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial. Any such disruptions may also magnify the impact of other risks described in this Annual Report.
Actual events involving reduced or limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. For example, in March 2023, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank were closed and taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") as receiver. Although we did not have any cash or cash equivalent balances on deposit with Silicon Valley Bank or Signature Bank, investorsimilar concernsevents regardingin the U.S.future orcould internationalnegatively affect investor confidence, the availability of credit, and overall market liquidity.

Any of these impacts, or any other impacts resulting from the factors described above or other related or similar factors not described above,developments could have a material adverse impactseffect on our liquidity and our current and/or projectedliquidity, business operations andoperations, financial conditioncondition, and results of operations.
Inflation has the potential to adversely affect our liquidity, business, financial conditioncondition, and results of operations by increasing our overall cost structure, particularly if we are unable to achieve commensurate increases in the prices we charge our customers. The United States and Germany both experienced inflation in the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Additionally, higher tariffs and the potential for higher tariffs may impact our product pricing or the cost of inputs to our production. The existence of inflation in the domestic and global economies has resulted in, and may continue to result in,in higher interest rates and capital costs, shipping costs, supply shortages, increased costs of labor, weakening exchange rates and other similar effects. As a result of inflation, we have experienced and may continue to experience, cost increases. If inflation continues to increase in the U.S. and/or Germanyincreases for a prolonged period of time, or the rate of inflation in our markets were to increase, or if a global recession were to occur, our expenses could increase substantially. Although we may take measures to mitigate the impact of this inflation, if these measures are not effective, our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. Even if such measures are effective, there could be a difference between the timing of when these beneficial actions impact our results of operations and when the cost inflation is incurred.
Governmental policies and regulations may also impact the development of the market for our products. For example, regulations around the use of AI may negatively impact certain of our customers and may affect the adoption of AI in certain of our target markets. The European Union Parliament recently adopted the EU AI Act, which introduces regulations and restrictions around the use of AI technologies. Additionally, Colorado has passed a bill introducing certain regulations around the use of AI. These and other regulatory or legislative actions related to the development and deployment of AI technologies could impact our business and our growth prospects.
We use information technology and other computer resources to carry out important operational activities and to maintain our business records. As part of our normal business activities, we permit certain employees to perform some or all of their business activities remotely, we collect and store certain personal identifying and/or confidential information relating to our employees, customers, vendors and suppliers, and we maintain operational and financial information related to our business. Furthermore, we rely on products and services provided by third-party suppliers to operate certain critical business systems, including without limitation, cloud-based infrastructure, encryption and authentication technology, email, and other functions, which exposes us to supply-chain attacks or other business disruptions. Our systems are often deployed in environments supporting AI workloads and large-scale data processing. Unathorized access to such systems could expose sensitive operational or training data belonging to our customers.
We have implemented certain systems and processes intended to address ongoing and evolving cybersecurity risks, secure our information technology, applications and computer systems, and prevent unauthorized access to or loss of sensitive, confidential and personal data. Although we and our service providers employ what we believe are adequate security, disaster recovery and other preventative and corrective measures, ourOur security measures, taken as a whole,measures may not be sufficient for all possible situations and may be vulnerable to, among other things, fraud, hacking, employee error, system error, and faulty password management.
Our business may be impacted by evolving regulations and market developments relating to artificial intelligence.
Our products are frequently deployed in systems used for AI and machine learning applications, including defense, autonomy, and data analytics. The regulatory environment governing AI technologies is evolving rapidly in the United States and internationally. For example, the European Union has adopted the EU Artificial Intelligence Act and other jurisdictions are considering legislation governing the development and deployment of AI systems. While we do not develop AI models, our products may be incorporated into AI-enabled platforms. Changes in regulatory frameworks, export restrictions, or customer requirements related to AI technologies could impact demand for our products or require modifications to our systems.
Our contracts with the U.S. government are conditioned upon the continuing availability of Congressional appropriations. Congress usually appropriates funds on a fiscal year basis, even though contract performance may extend over many years. Consequently, contracts are oftensometimes partially funded initially, and additional funds are committed only as Congress makes further appropriations over time. To the extent we incur costs in excess of funds obligated on a contract or in advance of a contract award or contract definitization, we are at risk of not being reimbursed for those costs unless and until additional funds are obligated under the contract or the contract is successfully awarded, definitized and funded, which could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
In the year ended December 31, 2025, an aggregate of 61% of our total revenues were attributable to our top three customers. In the year ended December 31, 2024, an aggregate of 40% of our total revenues were attributable to our top three customers. Customer concentration figures represent continuing operations and exclude customer activity within discontinued operations.
In the year ended December 31, 2024, an aggregate of 20.2% of our total consolidated revenues were attributable to our top three customers (Raytheon, Alcon Gps, and Torc Robotics). In the year ended December 31, 2024, 39.7% of OSS segment revenues were attributable to our top three customers, including Raytheon, Torc Robotics, and Thales. In the year ended December 31, 2023, an aggregate of 25.4% of our total consolidated revenues and 53.8% of OSS segment revenues were attributable to our top three customers in that year, which included Disguise Systems Limited, Raytheon, and the US Navy. In the year ended December 31, 2024, Bressner had one customer that accounted for greater than 10% of segment revenue (Alcon Gps), and the top three customers accounted for a combined 21.6% of revenue. Bressner did not have any customers that accounted for more than 10% of revenue in 2023.
We rely on a limited number of suppliers to provide us with the necessary devices, parts, and systems to allow us to build, design and manufacture our products, and the failure to manage our relationships with these parties successfully, or disruptions to our suppliers’ businesses caused by supply chain constraints, inflation, human capital issues, and/or other factors, could adversely affect our ability to market and sell our products. InParticularly, the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, suppliers for which purchases represent greater than 10%many of our totalproducts partsrely purchaseson accountedhigh-performance processors, GPUs, and other specialized components used in AI workloads. Supply constraings affecting these components, particularly those produced by NVIDIA, AMD, or other semiconductor suppliers, could limit our ability to manufacture and deliver systems designed for approximatelyAI 37% of materials purchased. In 2024, this concentration was with Super Micro Computer and Digi International.applications.
In the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, suppliers for which purchases represent greater than 10% of our total parts purchases accounted for approximately 34% and 68%, respectively, of materials purchased. Vendor concentration figures represent continuing operations and exclude vendor purchases within discontinued operations.
Although we do believe we could locate additional suppliers to fulfill our needs in the event that our relationship with these or any of our other suppliers terminated or they are unable to fulfill our manufacturing needs, any significant change in our relationship with these suppliers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition unless and until we are able to find suitable replacements. We make substantially all of our purchases from our contract suppliers on a purchase order basis. Our suppliers are generally not required to supply our raw materials for any specific period or at any specific quantity or price.
Global pandemics or other disasters or public health concerns in regions of the world where we have operations or source material or sell products, such as outbreaks of COVID-19 or H1N1 flu,products could result in the disruption of our business. These or any governmental developments or health concerns in countries in which we operate could result in social, economic, or labor instability. Any disruption resulting from these or similar events could cause significant delays in shipments of our products until we are able to resume normalized operations, and this could have a material negative impact on our results of operations and cash flows. Although the COVID 19 pandemic has subsidedsubsided, we are continuing to experience unavailability of certain products and limited supplies, protracted delivery dates for componentry, increasing product costs, and changes in minimum order quantities to secure product.
Supply chain disruptions could adversely affect our business, disrupt operations, and impact our profitability.
We rely on a global network of suppliers for key components used in our products. These suppliers are subject to quality and performance issues, excess demand, raw materials shortages, and other factors which could impact their ability to supply us with critical components, or could lead to price inflation and extended lead times. Disruptions in availability of these components, increases in lead times, or price increases could negatively impact our ability to deliver products to our customers and could impact our profitability on the products we deliver. Supply chain disruptions could be caused by tariffs and trade policy, global macroeconomic conditions, the global demand for certain materials or components, or other economic, geopolitical, or market dynamics.
In late 2025, a global shortage of certain memory products resulting from datacenter build-out demand led to significant increases in lead times, pricing volatility, and significant price increases. We have worked with our suppliers to secure availability of supply, including through the negotiation of long-term agreements. While we attempt to pass on component cost increases to our customers, our ability to do so is dependent upon many factors, including market conditions for the Company's products.
We have agreed, and expect to continue to agree, to indemnify our channel partners and end-customers for certain intellectual property infringement claims regarding our products. As a result, in the case of infringement claims against these channel partners and end-customers, we could be required to indemnify them for losses resulting from such claims or to refund amounts they have paid to us. Our channel partners and other end-customers in the future may seek indemnification from us in connection with infringement claims brought against them regarding our products. These claims, regardless of their merits or outcome, would likely be time consuming and expensive to resolve, and could divert management’s time and attention from managing our business.
Our international sales and operations, and in particular Bressner's operations in Germany, subject us to additional risks that can adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
DuringWe thesell yearour endedproducts Decemberin 31,a 2024, we derived as significant portionnumber of international jurisdictions. Additionally, our consolidatedsupply revenueschain fromincludes a number of international sales and operations.vendors. Our international operations subject us to a variety of risks and challenges, including, without limitation, exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; inflationary pressures and the possibility of recession; increased management, travel, infrastructure and legal compliance costs associated with having international operations; reliance on channel partners; increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexities; compliance with foreign laws and regulations, which are subject to change; compliance with U.S. laws and regulations for foreign operations; conflicts between U.S. laws and regulations and foreign laws and regulations; import and export licensing requirements; and reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries and practical difficulties of enforcing rights abroad. TheInflation, impactvolatility, ofrecessionary macroeconomic declinesrisk, and higher interest rates has been particularly apparent in Germany. Our Bressner segment in Germany accounted for 55% of the Company’s consolidated sales for the year ended December 31, 2024. Germany was in a recession for most of 2024regulatory and 2023,legal largely due to persistent high inflation and falling household spending. Continued inflation, volatility or recessionarycompliance risks in Germanyany orof otherthe countries that we operate or sell our products in could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Our products are subject to export control and import laws and regulations, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, U.S. Customs regulations and various economic and trade sanctions regulations administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Controls. Exports of our products must be made in compliance with these laws and regulations. Certain of our high-performance computing systems may incorporate advanced processors or accelerators that are subject to U.S. export controls related to advanced computing technologies and AI. Changes in export regulations or restrictions on the shipment of such components could affect our ability to sell systems into certain markets. If we violate these laws and regulations, we and certain of our employees, could be subject to substantial civil or criminal penalties, including the possible loss of export or import privileges, fines, which may be imposed on us and responsible employees or managers and, in extreme cases, the incarceration of responsible employees or managers. In addition, if our channel partners, agents, or consultants fail to obtain appropriate import, export or re-export licenses or authorizations, we may also be adversely affected through reputational harm and penalties. Obtaining the necessary authorizations, including any required license, for a particular sale may be time-consuming, is not guaranteed and may result in the delay or loss of sales opportunities. Changes in our products or changes in applicable export or import laws and regulations may also create delays in the introduction and sale of our products in international markets, prevent our end-customers with international operations from deploying our products or, in some cases, prevent the export or import of our products to certain countries, governments or persons altogether. Any change in export or import laws and regulations, shift in the enforcement or scope of existing laws and regulations, or change in the countries, governments, persons or technologies targeted by such laws and regulations, could also result in decreased use of our products, or in our decreased ability to export or sell our products to existing or potential end-customers with international operations. Any decreased use of our products or limitation on our ability to export or sell our products would likely adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
Our directors and principal stockholders own a significant percentage of our stock and will be able to exert significant control overinfluence matters subject to stockholder approval.
Our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders have substantial control overinfluence the Company and could delay or prevent a change in corporate control. Our directors, executive officers, and holders of more than 5% of our common stock, together with their affiliates, beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 40%12% of our outstanding common stock, based on the number of shares outstanding as of March 5, 2024.2026. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, would have the ability to exert significant controlinfluence over the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. In addition, these stockholders, acting together, would have the ability to exert significant controlinfluence over the management and affairs of the Company. Accordingly, this concentration of ownership might adversely affect the market price of our common stock by:
The market price of shares of our common stock could decline as a result of substantial equity issuances and/or sales of our common stock, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders, a large number of shares of our common stock becoming available for sale, or the perception in the market that holders of a large number of shares intend to sell their shares. As of March 5, 2025,2026, we havehad 21,323,26124,737,191 shares of our common stock outstanding. We may issue or sell a significant number of shares of our common stock or other securities to raise capital in the future or in connection with a strategic transaction, which would result in significant dilution to our current shareholders. Additionally, historically, a significant portion of the compensation that we pay to our executive officers, employees and directors has been in the form of equity awards. We believe that this structure incentivizes such individuals to both join and remain with the Company, and also serves to further the growth, development and financial success of the Company by providing a means by which such persons can personally benefit through the ownership of capital stock of the Company. However, the issuance of securities to our executive officers, employees and directors also results in dilution to our current shareholders, and substantial sales of such securities could cause the market price of our securities to decline and/or could depress the growth of the market price of our securities.
We will continue to be a “smaller reporting company” until we have more than $250 million in public float (based on our common stock) measuredif, as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarterquarter, or,(i) in the event we have noour public float is less than $250 million, or (based onii) our common stock), annual revenues of more than $100 million duringfor the most recently completed fiscal year.year are less than $100 million and we either have no public float or a public float of less than $700 million.

Registered Direct Offering of Common Stock
On September 29, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with institutional investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investors in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”) 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock”), par value $0.0001 per share. The Common Stock was sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement, filed on October 1, 2025 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3, originally filed on August 18, 2023 with the SEC (File No. 333-274073), and declared effective by the SEC on August 25, 2023. Net proceeds of the offering were $11,565,146, which is comprised of gross proceeds of $12,500,000 less Offering expenses of $934,854. The Offering closed on October 1, 2025.
The negative impact on the global economy and capital markets resulting from the geopolitical instability caused in part by the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Hamas, inflation and Federal Reserve and European Central Bank interest rate policy, and the weakness in the European and more specifically the German economy have contributed to economic uncertainty, which has negatively affected our operations. The risk of a recession in the U.S. remains, and volatility and recessionary conditions in Europe, and in Germany in particular, are expected to remain a concern for the near term. Additionally, it is possible that U.S. policy changes and uncertainty about such changes, including changes and uncertainty as a result of the US presidential administration change, could increase market volatility and currency exchange rate fluctuations. As a result of the foregoing, there is continued economic uncertainty and volatility in the capital markets in the near term that could negatively affect our operations.
We are continuing to experience increased pricing, long lead-times, unavailability of certain products and limited supplies, protracted delivery dates, changes in minimum order quantities to secure product, and/or shortages of certain parts and supplies that are necessary components for the products and services we offer to our customers. This was particularly true for products and supplies sourced from Taiwan in the most recent year. As a result, the Company is continuing to carry increased inventory balances to ensure availability of necessary products and to secure pricing.
These global issues and concerns regarding general economic decline or recession are impacting our business as well as some of our customers, who are continuing to experience downturns or uncertainty in their own business operations and revenue, and as a result, these customers may need to decrease or delay their technology spending, request pricing concessions or payment extensions, or seek to renegotiate their contracts. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company experienced delays in orders due to certain customers’ funding or program delays. If such decreases in orders or postponements continue in the future, or we experience cancellations of orders, our operating results will be further impacted, and our revenues may decline in future periods.
These global issues and events may also have the effect of heightening many risks associated with our customers and supply chain. We may take further actions that alter our operations from time to time, or which we determine are in our best interests. In addition, we may decide to postpone or abandon planned investments in our business in response to changes in our business, which may impact our ability to attract and retain customers and our rate of innovation, either of which could harm our business.
As a result of these global issues, it has been difficult to accurately forecast our revenues or financial results, especially given the near and long-term impacts of the economic and geopolitical issues, inflation, and the potential for continued weakness in the German economy. In addition, while the potential impact and duration of these issues on the economy and our business may be difficult to assess or predict, these world events have resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, and may reduce our ability to access additional capital, which could negatively affect our liquidity in the future. Our results of operations could be materially below our forecasts as well, which could adversely affect our results of operations, disappoint analysts and investors, or cause our stock price to decline.

Revenue
Cost of revenue primarily consists of costs of materials, costs paid to third-party contract manufacturers (which may include the costs of components), and personnel costs associated with manufacturing and support operations. Personnel costs consist of wages, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation expenses. Cost of revenue also includes freight, allocated overhead costs and inventory write-offs and changes to our inventory and warranty reserves. Allocated overhead costs consist of certain facilities and utility costs. We expect cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars with an improvement in margin, as product revenue increases.
Our operating expenses consist of general and administrative, sales and marketing, and research and development expenses. Salaries and personnel-related costs, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense,expense are the most significant components of each category of operating expenses. Operating expenses also include allocated overhead costs for facilities and utility costs.
General and administrative expense consists primarily of employee compensation and related expenses for administrative functions including finance, legal, human resources, and fees for third-party professional services, as well as certain overhead expenses which are allocated overhead.to general and administrative expense.

Impairment of Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually; when we deem that a triggering event has occurred that has impaired the value of goodwill, a write-down in value is recorded.
Marketing and Selling expense consists primarily of employee compensation and related expenses,expenses for marketing and sales functions, sales commissions, marketing programs, travel, and entertainment expensesexpenses, as well as certain overhead expenses which are allocated overhead.to marketing and selling expense. Marketing programs consist of advertising, tradeshows, events, corporate communications, and brand-building activities.

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 20242025 and 20232024 from Continuing Operations:
Revenue
For the year ended December 31, 2025, our revenue increased $7,656,691, or 31.2%, as compared to the same period in 2024. This increase is primarily attributable to: 1) higher sales to the US Navy and a defense prime customer of data storage products to support the P-8A Poseidon Reconnaissance Aircraft; 2) higher sales to a defense end customer of custom server products, PCIe accelerators, and expansion products for a classified mobile intelligence platform; and 3) higher sales to a medical imaging OEM of liquid-cooled server products to support a breast cancer screening application. These increases were partially offset by lower sales to commercial aerospace customers as compared to the prior year.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit increased $15,359,559 for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. Gross margin percentage was 49.6% for 2025, compared to 2.5% for 2024. The improvement in gross margin was driven by 1) a more favorable mix of products shipped within 2025 and favorable pricing on new contracts entered into during 2025; 2) the non-recurrence of $7,088,114 of inventory adjustments and allowances recognized in 2024; 3) the non-recurrence of a $1,222,085 contract loss provision recognized in 2024 related to a customer-funded development contract entered into in 2022; and 3) more favorable manufacturing absorption within 2025 due to both production headcount reductions and a higher volume of production revenue.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, our total revenue decreased $6,202,440, or 10.2%, as compared to the same period in 2023. OSS saw a decrease in revenue of $4,251,079, or 14.8%, as compared to the same period in 2023. This decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction of approximately $4.8M in sales to a former media and entertainment customer, for whom shipments ceased in the second quarter of the prior year. This decrease was partially offset by higher sales to customers in the military and defense end markets. Bressner experienced a decrease of $1,951,360, or 6.1%, as compared to the same period in 2023, due primarily to a slowdown in the German economy.
Cost of revenue and gross profit
Cost of revenue increased $4,033,876, or 9.4%, for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the prior year. OSS saw an increase in cost of revenue of $5,390,984, or 29.1%, as compared to the prior year. This increase in cost of revenue was primarily attributable to allowances for inventory obsolescence. In 2024, OSS segment inventory adjustments and allowances increased cost of revenue by $7,088,114, which included an accrual of $1,102,995 to provision for future inventory receipts on non-cancellable purchase order commitments. The inventory adjustments and allowances resulted from a shift in the Company's focus to the military and defense sector, deviations from management's expectations with respect to product sales, and advances in technology that rendered certain inventory obsolete. Cost of revenue was also impacted by increased labor expenditures related to fulfilling performance obligations on a customer-funded development contract that was entered into in 2022, as well as an accrual for anticipated future costs on the same contract in excess of the contract value. The Company recognizes anticipated contract losses as soon as they become known and estimable. Bressner’s cost of revenue decreased $1,357,108, or 5.6%, as compared to the prior year, due to the reduction in revenue volume.
The overall gross margin percentage was 14.1% for the 2024 period as compared to 29.5% in the same period in 2023. OSS’ segment gross margin percentage for the year ended December 31, 2024, was 2.5% as compared to 35.6% for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decline in OSS segment gross margin percentage was due to allowances for inventory obsolescence of $7,088,114, including an accrual of $1,102,995 to provision for future inventory receipts on non-cancellable purchase order commitment, and the contract losses of $1,222,085 recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024 for incurred and anticipated costs to satisfy performance obligations on a customer-funded development contract that was entered into in 2022. Excluding these three items, the OSS segment gross margin would have been 36.4%. Bressner contributed gross margin at a rate of 23.5% in 2024, as compared to 24.0% in 2023.
General and administrative expense increased $153,729, or 2.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to higher incentive compensation expense, partially offset by a reduction in board compensation associated with the reduction in the size of the board. General and administrative expense decreased as a percentage of revenue to 22.8% in 2025, as compared to 29.3% in 2024.
General and administrative expense decreased $292,538, or 3.2%, for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. OSS experienced a decrease of $107,570, or 1.5%, which was primarily due to the non-recurrence of certain costs related to organizational restructuring and outside professional services in 2023. Bressner had a decrease of $184,968, or 9.5% as a result of an organizational realignment. Overall, total general and administrative expense increased as a percentage of revenue to 16.4% for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to 15.2% during the same period in 2023.
During the year 2023, the Company took a write-down of goodwill of $5,630,788 as a result of the overall financial performance of OSS as compared to plan, the transition of our product strategy to focus on AI applications at the edge, and the deferment of certain orders in our military and defense end markets. There was no such impairment charge in 2024.
Marketing and selling expense increased $1,354,466,$949,997, or 20.4%,16.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, as compared to the same period in 2023.2024.

No balance was outstanding on either MarchJune 31,30, 2026 or December 31, 2025.
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the threesix month periods ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025:

Net cash providedused byin continuing operating activities during the threesix month period ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 was the result of three components: 1) net loss from continuing operations of $362,588$7,682,247; 2) net adjustments to net loss from continuing operations for non-cash items of $1,022,815,$1,831,691, of which the largest components were stock-based compensation expense of $655,128$1,516,341 and depreciation expense of $184,151$366,616; and 3) aan decrease in net operating assets associated with continuing operations of $3,381,681.$5,221,418. The decrease in net operating assets associated with continuing operations was primarily driven by an an accrual of $6,250,000 for a legal settlement, an increase in accounts payable due to the timing of payment to suppliers for inventory material, and a decrease in accounts receivable due to collections of billings from 2025. This was partially offset by increases in inventory to support deliveries planned in the second half of 2026.
Cash provided from net changes in operating assets and liabilities for the three month period ended March 31, 2026 was $3,381,681, compared to cash provided by net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $90,285 in the same period of 2025.

We did not have any outstanding balances on our line of credit as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

Derivative Financial Instruments
We may employ derivatives to manage certain currency market risks through the use of foreign exchange forward contracts. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Our derivatives are designated as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedge). We may hedge a portion of the exchange risk involved in anticipation of highly probable foreign currency-denominated transactions. In anticipation of these transactions, we may enter into foreign exchange contracts to provide currency at a fixed rate.

We believe that the use of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or adjusted EBITDA, is helpful for an investor to assess the performance of the Company. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, acquisition expenses, impairment of long-lived assets, financing costs, fair value adjustments from purchase accounting, stock-based compensation expense and expenses related to discontinued operations. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the impact of the legal settlement agreement.
Adjusted EBITDA associated with our continuing operations for the three and six month periods ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:
Adjusted EBITDA associated with discontinued operations for the three and six month periods ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA from continuing and discontinued operations for the three and six month periods ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:
Adjusted EPS excludes the impact of certain items, and therefore, has not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe that exclusion of certain selected items assists in providing a more complete understanding of our underlying results and trends and allows for comparability with our peer company index and industry. We use this measure along with the corresponding GAAP financial measures to manage our business and to evaluate our performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace. The Company defines non-GAAP income (loss) as income or (loss) before amortization, stock-based compensation, expenses related to discontinued operations, impairment of long-lived assets and non-recurring acquisition costs. Non-GAAP income (loss) also excludes the impact of the legal settlement agreement. Adjusted EPS expresses adjusted income (loss) on a per share basis using weighted average diluted shares outstanding.
