Fiscal 2025 revenue grew 23% year-over-year to $7.1 million, primarily driven by contract expansion with the U.S. Department of War for critical infrastructure protection.

Fourth quarter revenue declined 12% year-over-year due to an unexpected delay in a contract extension caused by U.S. government shutdown constraints and administrative backlogs.

Management attributes the Q4 performance dip entirely to timing, noting that operational expenses for the delayed contract were already incurred while revenue recognition shifted to 2026.

The company successfully eliminated all outstanding debt and Series A preferred stock early in the year, significantly strengthening the balance sheet for future growth.

The company plans to seek small debt financing in the near term to provide additional liquidity for supporting these growth initiatives.

The ongoing conflict in Iran and U.S. budgetary 'continuing resolutions' are cited as external risks that may continue to impact the timing of defense sector contract awards.

The delayed government contract revenue is expected to flow through at nearly 100% margin in future periods since the associated costs have already been recognized.

The Q4 spend level is considered a baseline run rate, with potential for further increases in 2026 to build 'sales muscle.'
