On May 7, 2026, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire DroneNX, LLC which operates as Upgrade Energy (“Upgrade Energy”), a manufacturer of battery and power systems solutions for unmanned aerial systems. The transaction purchase price is estimated at $52.0 million, which includes (i) a fixed quantity of 1,792,012 shares of the Company’s common stock at $13.9508 per share which was based on the preceding 5 day volume weighted average share price of the Company’s common stock prior to signing the definitive agreement, which is estimated to be approximately $25.0 million of purchase price, which the valuation for accounting purposes could be subject to change based on the Company’s common stock price at the time of closing, (ii) $1.0 million in cash upon closing of the transaction, and (iii) an additional $26.0 million in cash based on the Company recognizing $10.0 million in revenue related to internally manufactured batteries during the first two years after the acquisition closing date. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including Upgrade Energy completing their financial audit, which is expected in September 2026.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of June 30, 2026.

The term “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) means controls and other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2026.

Changes In Controls Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company continued to strengthen its internal controls including the implementation of advanced inventory modules within NetSuite for its financial and transactional reporting.

We believe that these changes and documentation of our internal controls have remediated the previously disclosed material weaknesses in internal controls which includes sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions and having written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures.

Other than as discussed above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
