Rhea-AI Filing Summary

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.

Insights

Amended filing adds detail on Knightscope’s Event Risk acquisition economics and earnings impact.

The amended disclosure shows Knightscope paying about $18.0M for Event Risk, split among cash, debt payoff, 1,724,418 shares, deferred payments, and performance-based contingent consideration. Event Risk contributed $15.4M revenue in 2025 from security and protection services.

Pro forma statements indicate the combined company would still have reported sizable losses in 2025 and early 2026, partly due to amortization of acquired intangibles like customer relationships valued at $15.5M. This suggests strategic scale and service expansion more than near-term earnings accretion.

Key variables include whether Event Risk’s revenue and margins meet the earn-out thresholds and how quickly Knightscope can integrate operations. Subsequent filings with actual post-closing performance will clarify whether the acquisition improves profitability or mainly adds revenue and goodwill.

"The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of operations have been derived from the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements"
contingent consideration financial
"Additionally, the transaction provides for potential contingent consideration, which includes (i) up to $2.0 million in Earn-Out Payments"
Contingent consideration is an additional payment agreed when one company buys another that will be paid later only if specific future targets are met, such as revenue, profit, or regulatory milestones. It matters to investors because it shifts risk between buyer and seller and affects the acquiring company's future cash flow and reported value — like promising a bonus after results are proven.
Earn-Out Payments financial
"includes (i) up to $2.0 million in Earn-Out Payments tied to 2026 revenue and gross margin percentage thresholds"
Earn-out payments are extra sums promised to the seller of a business that are paid later only if the company meets agreed performance targets, such as revenue or profit levels. They matter to investors because they shift some acquisition risk from the buyer to the seller, affect future cash flow and reported purchase price, and can change how much value is ultimately paid for an acquisition—think of it like a performance bonus tied to how well the bought business performs.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Shareholder of Event Risk, Inc.

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Event Risk, Inc. (the “Company”) which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related statements of comprehensive income (loss), shareholder’s equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAS”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with U.S. GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with U.S. GAAS, we:

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

- 1 -


Table of Contents

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

EVENT RISK, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024

1.BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Event Risk, Inc. (the “Company” or “Event Risk”) was incorporated on August 14, 2020 under the laws of the State of Indiana. The Company is an S-Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”).

Event Risk is a provider of security, executive protection, investigations, and risk mitigation services operating throughout the United States. The Company delivers licensed security personnel and response services to corporate and commercial clients. The Company is located and headquartered in San Antonio, Texas.

On February 27, 2026, Knightscope, Inc., a Delaware corporation, acquired all the issued and outstanding membership interests of the Company. Refer to Note 9 - Subsequent Events for additional information.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation— The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

Use of Estimates— The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Specific accounts that require management estimates include, but are not limited to, estimating the useful lives of equipment, allowance for credit losses, and impairment of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the financial statements.

Cash— The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable, net— Accounts receivable are primarily derived from providing security, executive protection, investigations, and risk mitigation services. The Company reviews its accounts receivable for collectibility based on historical loss patterns, aging of the accounts receivable, and assessments of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible, and provides allowances for potential credit losses, as needed. The Company also considers any changes to the financial condition of its customers and any other external market factors that could impact the collectibility of the accounts receivable in the determination of the allowance for credit losses.

Receivables are written off against the allowance when management believes that the amount receivable will not be recovered. Based on management’s assessment, the Company recorded $0 allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Equipment, net— Equipment, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Equipment is depreciated over a useful life of three years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheets and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statements of comprehensive income (loss) in the period realized.

- 7 -


Table of Contents

The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from their use or eventual disposition. If estimates of future undiscounted net cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets, the Company will record an impairment loss in the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

Leases— At contract inception, the Company determines whether the contract is, or contains, a lease and whether the lease should be classified as an operating or a financing lease and reassesses that conclusion if the contract is modified.

The Company recognizes operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The ROU asset is reduced for tenant incentives, if any, and excludes any initial direct costs incurred, if any. The Company uses the risk-free rate to determine the present value of future payments and the appropriate lease classification. The Company defines the initial lease term to include renewal options determined to be reasonably certain. If the Company determines the option to extend or terminate is reasonably certain, it is included in the determination of lease assets and liabilities. The Company reassesses the lease term if and when a significant event or change in circumstances occurs within the control of the Company, such as the construction of significant leasehold improvements that are expected to have economic value when the option becomes exercisable.

The Company recognizes a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and it classifies all cash payments within operating activities in the combined statements of cash flows.

The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which it has elected to not combine for all asset classes. In addition, the Company does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less of all asset classes.

Concentrations of Credit Risk— Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high-quality financial institutions. From time to time, and as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, such cash may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, customers that individually account for 10% or more of total revenue represented 86% of total revenue and 93% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2024, customers that individually account for 10% or more of total revenue represented 75% of total revenue and 83% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2024.

Revenue Recognition— The Company’s revenues are primarily based on armed and unarmed security guarding services and executive protection. The contracts are typically cancellable with a 30-day notice period. Revenue is recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when control of these services is transferred to the clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services.

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a client;
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

- 8 -


Table of Contents

Determination of the transaction price;
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company recognizes revenue as follows:

For customers that are billed in arrears and due to the nature of the security guarding services, the Company’s performance obligations qualify for the “right to invoice” practical expedient. Under this practical expedient, the Company recognizes revenue over time, in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice. In addition, the Company is not required to estimate such variable consideration upon inception of the contract and reassess the estimate each reporting period. The Company determined that this method best represents the transfer of services, as the Company charges a fixed amount for each hour of service provided and upon billing the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that directly corresponds with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date. For contracts accounted for under the right-to-invoice practical expedient, the Company does not disclose remaining performance obligations for services already rendered and invoiced.

For contracts that are billed in advance, the Company recognizes revenue ratably over the period in which the services are performed and any remaining unsatisfied performance obligations are reflected in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. Costs incurred to obtain a contract are expensed as incurred when the amortization period is less than one year. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. The Company has concluded that none of the costs it has incurred to obtain its sales contracts meet the capitalization criteria and, as such, there are no costs deferred and recognized as assets on the balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to recognize revenue on a gross or net basis based upon its evaluation of whether the Company obtains control of the specified services by considering if it is primarily responsible for fulfillment of the promise, has the risk of loss, and has the latitude in establishing pricing and selecting suppliers, among other factors. Based on its evaluation of these factors, the Company has determined that it is the principal in its arrangements and revenue is recorded gross of costs associated with each transaction.

Deferred Revenue— Deferred revenue represents amounts invoiced to customers for contracts for which revenue has yet to be recognized for services to be provided to the Company’s customers. Typically, the timing of invoicing is based on the terms of the contracts.

For customers that are billed in advance, the Company records the invoices as deferred revenue and amortizes the amount over the period that the services are delivered, which generally is a 6 to 12-month period.

Deferred revenue includes billings in excess of revenue recognized. Revenue recognized at a point in time generally does not result in significant increases in deferred revenue. Revenue recognized over a period generally results in a majority of the increases in deferred revenue as the performance obligations are fulfilled after the billing event.

The Company expects the entire balance of deferred revenue to be recognized in the next 12 months.

- 9 -


Table of Contents

Cost of Revenue— Cost of revenue primarily includes direct labor costs and associated benefits and indirect costs related to contract performance, such as supplies, uniforms, and tools.

Advertising— Costs associated with the Company’s advertising are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $511,000 and $289,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements— The Company determines the fair market values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The following are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1— Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company considers a market to be active when transactions for the asset occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2— Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3— Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The valuation of Level 3 investments requires the use of significant management judgments or estimation.

The Company’s financial instruments include accounts receivable and payable and accrued liabilities. The fair values of these instruments approximate their carrying amounts because of their short-term nature. The carrying value of the Company’s borrowings approximates fair value based on current rates available to the Company.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements— In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This ASU provides a practical expedient that allows entities, when assessing expected credit losses for accounts receivable and contract assets, to assume the current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset under assessment. An entity that elects the practical expedient is permitted to make an accounting policy election to consider collection activity after the balance sheet date when estimating expected credit losses. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and should be applied prospectively. The Company has determined the adoption of this ASU will have no material impact on its financial statements.

Management has reviewed other recently issued accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB and does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

4.DEBT OBLIGATION

Frost Revolver

On June 24, 2025, the Company entered into a credit agreement for a revolving credit facility (the “Frost Revolver”) with Frost Bank that provides the Company with advances equal to the lesser of $1,500,000 or 80% of the aggregate amount of eligible accounts. The Frost Revolver has a maturity date of June 23, 2026 and bears interest at a variable rate per annum equal to 1.75% above the Prime Rate, subject to a minimum rate of 3.5%. As of December 31, 2025, the interest rate was 8.5% and the outstanding balance on the Frost Revolver was $1,133,000. Total interest expense recorded for the Frost Revolver was approximately $37,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Under the terms of the Frost Revolver, the Company is required to comply with certain financial and nonfinancial covenants. Any failure by the Company to comply with these covenants and any other obligations under the agreement could result in an event of default, which allows Frost Bank to accelerate the repayments of the amounts owed. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants. Borrowings under the Frost Revolver are collateralized by the Company’s accounts receivable.

In February 2026, the outstanding balance on the Frost Revolver was fully repaid in connection with the acquisition of the Company. Refer to Note 9 - Subsequent Events for additional information.

FinWise Loan

On August 20, 2024, the Company entered into a loan agreement with FinWise Bank, under which it borrowed $250,000, which included approximately $6,000 of loan origination fees (the “FinWise Loan”). The FinWise Loan is payable in 63 weekly installments of approximately $5,000 and will accrue total interest over the term of the loan of $90,000. A prepayment discount of 50% of the unpaid interest portion of the full balance then remaining on the loan will apply if the loan is paid before the maturity date. As of December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance on the FinWise Loan was $190,000.

In March 2025, the outstanding balance on the FinWise Loan was fully repaid. Total interest expense recorded for the FinWise Loan was approximately $35,000, which includes the 50% prepayment discount, for the year ended December 31, 2025 and $42,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Overview

On February 27, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), Knightscope, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Knightscope”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Event Risk LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (“Event Risk”), and Eric Rose (the “Seller”), pursuant to which Knightscope acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Event Risk (the “Acquired Interests”).

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the aggregate consideration for the acquisition of Event Risk includes a closing cash payment of $5.0 million, the assumption and full discharge of approximately $1.1 million in indebtedness, and the issuance of 1,724,418 shares of Knightscope Class A Common Stock. The agreement also stipulates deferred cash payments totaling $4.0 million, to be paid in quarterly installments of $0.5 million from March 31, 2027, through December 31, 2028. Additionally, the transaction provides for potential contingent consideration, which includes (i) up to $2.0 million in Earn-Out Payments tied to 2026 revenue and gross margin percentage thresholds, (ii) Cash Revenue Share Payments for 2027-2031 capped at an aggregate of $10.0 million, and (iii) potential Equity Revenue Share Issuances capped at the lesser of 2.5% of fully diluted shares outstanding or $3.0 million in grant-date value. These contingent considerations are defined in the Purchase Agreement and incorporated herein by reference.

For purposes of this filing, the Purchase Agreement is referred to as the "Transaction".

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of operations have been derived from the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and are presented to give effect to the Transaction. A pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 is not provided because the Transaction is already reflected in the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet included in the Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026 filed on May 15, 2026. Additionally, all relevant adjustments that would be expected in the pro forma balance sheet are clearly disclosed in the Form 10-Q.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and for the year ended December 31, 2025 give effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred on January 1, 2025.

The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to events that are (i) directly attributable to the Transaction, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations reflect non-recurring transaction charges directly related to the Transaction that the combined company has incurred in furtherance of consummation of the Transaction, as well as transaction costs incurred, but not yet recorded, subsequent to March 31, 2026. Further, the tax rate used for these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements is an estimated effective tax rate, which will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods subsequent to the completion of the Transaction.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared by the Company using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). The Company has been treated as the “accounting acquirer” and Event Risk as the “accounting acquiree” in the Transaction for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The pro forma adjustments are based upon the information currently available and certain assumptions and estimates that the Company believes are reasonable as of the date hereof as described in the accompanying notes. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and for the year ended December 31, 2025, are based on the historical financial statements of Knightscope and Event Risk. These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and information are provided for illustrative and informational purposes only. They do not purport to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the Company had the Transaction been completed as of the assumed date or for the periods presented, or which may be realized in the future, and should not be construed as representative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the combined entity. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions within the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

An updated determination of the fair value of Event Risk’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be performed within one year of closing of the Transaction. The final purchase price allocation may be materially different from the preliminary purchase consideration allocation presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Any changes in the fair values of the net assets or total purchase consideration as compared with the information shown in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may change the amount of the total purchase price allocated to goodwill, and other assets and liabilities, which may impact the combined entity’s balance sheet and statement of operations. As a result of the foregoing, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may arise, and these differences could have a material impact


on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the combined entity’s future results of operations and financial position.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any expected cost savings, operating synergies, or revenue enhancements that the combined entity may achieve as a result of the Transaction or the costs necessary to achieve any such cost savings, operating synergies, or revenue enhancements.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the:

accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements;
unaudited historical financial statements of the Company as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026;
audited historical financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025;
audited historical consolidated financial statements of Event Risk, Inc. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 included in Exhibit 99.1 in the Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2026.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X, as amended January 1, 2021. The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to the events that are (i) directly attributable to the Transaction, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the operating results of the combined company. The historical financial information of Event Risk is presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

The acquisition accounting adjustments relating to the Transaction are preliminary and subject to change, as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. There can be no assurances that the final valuations will not result in material changes to this preliminary purchase price allocation. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not give effect to the potential impact of any anticipated benefits from cost savings or synergies that may result from the Transaction or to any future integration costs. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of the combined company following the Transaction.

2.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on the Transaction closing date, all of Event Risk’s outstanding membership units will automatically convert into the right to receive its pro rata portion of the aggregate consideration. The total aggregate consideration for the Transaction is approximately $18.0 million and includes share issuances of 1,724,418 Knightscope, Inc. Class A common shares as detailed below. Additionally, the Purchase Agreement requires potential contingent consideration consisting of: (i) up to $2.0 million in Earn-Out Payments tied to 2026 performance, (ii) Cash Revenue Share Payments for calendar years 2027–2031 capped at $10.0 million, and (iii) potential Equity Revenue Share Issuances capped at the lesser of 2.5% of fully diluted shares or $3.0 million.

Preliminary Purchase Allocation

The accounting for the Transaction, including the preliminary total aggregate consideration, is based on provisional amounts, and the associated purchase accounting is not final. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities was based upon the preliminary estimate of fair values. For the preliminary estimate of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Event Risk, the Company used publicly available benchmarking information as well as a variety of other assumptions, including market participant assumptions. The Company has, and is expected to use, widely accepted income-based, market-based, and cost-based valuation approaches upon finalization of purchase accounting for the Transaction. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions within this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances.

In connection with the Transaction, the Company recorded contingent consideration liabilities. These liabilities are measured to fair value at each reporting period, with the corresponding change in fair value recognized in earnings.

Pro Forma Statements of Operations Adjustments

Pro forma Transaction Accounting Adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and for the year ended December 31, 2025

Certain pro forma adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations to give effect to the Transaction.

(aa)

Reflects the adjustment for identifiable intangible assets recognized at their preliminary estimated fair values in connection with the Transaction, as determined in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2026. Fair value of the acquired intangible assets was determined using an income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method or relief-from- royalty method, depending on the nature of the respective assets. The identifiable intangible assets include customer relationships and non-compete asset, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 6.7 years. The pro forma adjustment reflects the incremental amortization expense that would have been recognized within sales, general, and administrative expenses had these assets been recorded at fair value as of the beginning of the periods presented.

This adjustment includes $156 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and $23 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025, which are recognized within income tax expense.

(ff)

Reflects the impact of the issuance of additional shares of Knightscope common stock as consideration transferred in the Transaction on the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share. The pro forma basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding have been adjusted by the 1,724,418 shares issued, as if it had been outstanding since January 1, 2025.
