Knightscope, Inc. filed an amended report to add full historical financial statements for its acquired business, Event Risk, and unaudited pro forma results reflecting the completed acquisition. Knightscope bought all Event Risk ownership interests for about $18.0M, including $5.0M cash, payoff of $1.1M debt, 1,724,418 Class A shares, deferred cash, and contingent consideration tied to revenue and margin targets.
Event Risk generated $15.4M revenue in 2025 with a small net loss, following $11.3M revenue and profitability in 2024. Pro forma statements show how combining Knightscope and Event Risk would have affected 2025 and early 2026 results, including significant new customer relationship intangibles and related amortization expense.
Knightscope, Inc. reported first‑quarter 2026 revenue of $6.0 million, up from $2.9 million a year earlier, driven by higher Emergency Communication Device sales and the new Knightscope Security Force guarding business.
The company’s net loss widened to $10.3 million from $6.9 million, with gross margin improving to 8% from a negative margin previously. Knightscope closed the roughly $18.0 million acquisition of Event Risk LLC (KSF), recording $7.7 million of goodwill and $15.5 million of customer relationship intangibles and adding a second operating segment.
Cash and cash equivalents fell to $11.4 million from $20.6 million at year‑end, while accumulated deficit reached $237.3 million. Management explicitly states that these losses, cash usage, and funding needs raise substantial doubt about Knightscope’s ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital.
Knightscope, Inc. reports a beneficial ownership filing by Eric James Rose. Mr. Rose beneficially owns 1,724,418 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 10.7% of the Class A shares outstanding. The percentage is calculated using 16,071,148 shares outstanding as of April 9, 2026.
The filing states Mr. Rose has sole voting and dispositive power over the 1,724,418 shares. The signature date on the filing is April 16, 2026.
Knightscope, Inc. disclosed an initial ownership report showing that major shareholder Eric James Rose directly holds 1,724,418 shares of Class A Common Stock. This Form 3 filing records his status as a ten percent owner and does not reflect any recent share purchases or sales.
Knightscope, Inc. files its annual report outlining a security technology business that remains unprofitable and faces going concern risks, while pursuing growth through integrated hardware, software and guarding services.

In February 2026 Knightscope completed the acquisition of Event Risk LLC for a mix of cash, debt repayment, stock and deferred payments, adding licensed response services and significantly expanding its workforce from 90 employees at December 31, 2025 to over 400. As of that date, backlog was about $2.8 million, and Knightscope held $20.6 million in cash and cash equivalents but had an accumulated deficit of $227.0 million and a 2025 net loss of $33.8 million, leading auditors to express substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
