Key Q&A
Q:Is the company looking at any additional capital raising opportunities?
A:The company is not currently in the market for additional capital raising opportunities, having recently raised $5 million. However, they remain open to opportunistic fundraising if it makes sense in the future.
Q:Have you launched nonlethal response? If not, what are the plans?
A:The company has been soft selling the nonlethal response to its customer base for the past few months, receiving positive feedback. The official launch is planned within the next 30 to 45 days, marking a significant relaunch of the company with a meaningful service line.
Q:You're guiding towards approximately 100% revenue growth, where is that confidence coming from?
A:The confidence comes from current business performance, strong results in the fourth quarter, a solid pipeline, and a promising second quarter. The guidance does not include larger federal opportunities being pursued, which adds to the optimism.
Q:What is the difference between nonlethal and less lethal, and why does that distinction matter?
A:The term 'less lethal' implies tools that may unintentionally cause fatalities, such as electronic weapons or pepper spray.

This distinction is crucial for customer trust and community impact, and it aligns with the company's proactive and lawful approach.
Q:Where does the drone platform stand?
A:The drone platform has progressed from lab testing to controlled scenario testing. The company has demonstrated its functionality and received preorders. The platform integrates nonlethal payloads with drones, enhancing situational awareness and providing safe, nonlethal options for law enforcement. The rollout is expected this year.

While progress is slow, new markets have been entered, and there is significant interest in the response approach. Regions like South America and Asia Pacific show potential.
Q:Management insiders have been buying stock. Can you speak to the alignment with shareholders?
A:Management and insiders have invested approximately $7-8 million in the last 2.5 years, demonstrating strong alignment with shareholders. This commitment reflects their belief in the company's potential and their financial support for its growth.
Q:What catalyst should investors be watching for over the next 12 months?
A:Key catalysts include advancements in the counter UAS business, expansion of the WrapTactics program, increased federal engagement, international deployments in South America and Asia Pacific, and legislative momentum at federal and state levels.
