  • Our cost reduction efforts may not allow us to keep pace with competitive pricing pressures and/or other economic factors including inflation, impact from and response to U.S. trade policy, and customer and end market supply chain constraints which could adversely affect our gross margins and ability to meet customer demand.
  • We incurred a net loss of $34.7 million and $33.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
  • As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $171.6 million.
  • We have spent significant funds on organizational and start-up activities, to recruit engineers and other employees and to support our re search and development.
  • Our long-term success is dependent upon our ability to successfully market our interconnect IP and SoC Integration Automation software solutions, develop new interconnect IP and SoC Integration Automation software solutions, earn revenue, obtain additional capital when needed and, ultimately, to maintain profitable operations.
  • Because our IP solutions are components of end products, if semiconductor, system producers and/or end product producer companies in the aerospace and defense market , automotive market, communications market, consumer electronics market, enterprise computing market, and industrial market do not incorporate our solutions into their end products or if the end products of our customers do not achieve market acceptance, we may not be able to generate adequate license sales and royalty income from our products.
  • We do not license our IP solutions and deployment tools directly to end-users; we license our technology primarily to companies in the aerospace and defense market, automotive market, communications market, consumer electronics market, enterprise computing market, and industrial market who then incorporate our technology into the products they sell.
  • Our continued success will depend in large part on general economic growth and stability, and growth and stability within our target markets in the aerospace and defense market, automotive market, communications market, consumer electronics market, enterprise computing market, and industrial market.
  • Factors affecting these markets could seriously harm our customers and/or end customers and, as a result, harm us, examples of which include: ■ Reduced sales of our customers’ and/or end customers’ products. ■ The effects of catastrophic and other disruptive events at our customers’ and/or end customers’ offices or facilities including, but not limited to, natural disasters, telecommunications failures, cyber-attacks, terrorist attacks, regional wars or conflicts, pandemics, epidemics or other outbreaks of infectious disease, breaches of security or loss of critical data. ■ Increased costs associated with potential disruptions to our customers’ and/or end markets’ supply chain and other manufacturing and production operations. ■ The deterioration of our customers’ and/or end customers’ financial condition. ■ Delays and project cancellations as a result of design flaws in the products developed by our customers and/or end customers. ■ The inability of our customers and/or end customers to expand or dedicate the resources necessary to promote and commercialize their products. ■ The inability of our customers and/or end customers to adapt to changing technological demands resulting in their products becoming obsolete. ■ The failure of our customers’ and/or end customers’ products to achieve market success and gain broad market acceptance. ■ Disruption and uncertainty caused by new developments in U.S. trade and tariff policy, reciprocal tariffs imposed by other countries, export, foreign direct investment, and related regulations. ■ Regional and global effects of inflation or other adverse economic conditions, such as rising interest rates, recessions or economic slowdowns, resulting in delays or cancellations of new product design starts. ■ Adverse impact of multiple interest rate increases implemented and forecasted by the U.S.
  • If anticipated demand in the end market for these vehicles does not materialize, whether due to consumer demand not materializing, regulatory interventions or changes to incentives, delays in the deployment of electronic vehicles and automated driving, or the emergence of economic instability in end markets arising from factors such as inflationary trends, interest rate fluctuations and general economic uncertainty, deteriorating purchasing power, trade or supply chain disruptions and regional and/or worldwide chip shortages or excess supply, demand fluctuations, unemployment spikes, labor shortages or end market reactions to regional or global geopolitical uncertainties, wars or conflicts, or other factors beyond our control, it would adversely affect demand for our products from customers and royalty revenue and impact our ability to execute our growth strategy.
  • Our future growth will depend on the level of market acceptance of our third-party licensable IP model, the variety of IP offerings available on the market and the shift in customer preference away from in-house development of semiconductor IP technologies and SoC Integration Automation software .
  • Furthermore, the third-party licensable IP model is highly dependent on the market adoption of new services and products, including in the aerospace and defense market, automotive market, communications market, consumer electronics market, enterprise computing market, and industrial market.
