Rank One Computing Corporation (ROC) completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Zuccaro Technical Consulting LLC (ZTC) on August 31, 2026, making ZTC a wholly owned subsidiary. The deal integrates ZTC’s digital forensics capabilities and cleared engineering team into ROC’s Vision AI platform and ROC Evidence product, aiming to offer a more comprehensive end-to-end investigative intelligence solution for government and commercial customers. ROC highlights benefits such as incremental revenue from ZTC’s existing government business, expanded federal customer relationships, and cross-selling opportunities across ROC’s Vision AI portfolio, as well as a larger addressable market and the ability to pursue larger investigative intelligence programs. Historical and pro forma financial information related to the acquisition will be provided in accordance with SEC rules.
Rank One Computing Corporation (ROC) entered into new Lock-Up Agreements on August 19, 2026 with certain executive management members. These agreements restrict them from selling, transferring, or otherwise disposing of their Rank One common stock or related convertible or exercisable securities until February 23, 2027, subject to limited exceptions.
The covered executives beneficially own about 54% of total outstanding common shares and 66% of non‑publicly traded common shares as of August 18, 2026. Their voluntary lock-up extends by six months the original six‑month IPO-related lock-up period, effectively maintaining a large insider ownership stake off the market for approximately one year.
Rank One Computing Corporation reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $5.1 million, up 2% year over year and nearly doubling from $2.5 million in the first quarter. Government R&D contract revenue rose 41% to $3.0 million, and gross margin expanded to 90% from 80%, driven by a higher mix of software license revenue.
Product revenue declined 26% year over year to $2.1 million as a large ROC Watch deployment completed in 2025, but core Vision AI products grew strongly: ROC SDK revenue increased 84% to $1.6 million, ROC ABIS 723% to $164,000, and ROC Enroll 125% to $83,000, while ROC Evidence generated its first commercial revenue. Higher selling, general and administrative and R&D spending lifted operating expenses to $5.3 million, leading to a net loss of $0.8 million versus prior-year net income of $0.6 million.
As of June 30, 2026, the company held $11.9 million in cash, $14.8 million in working capital, and no debt after repaying its line of credit, supported by $21.5 million of IPO proceeds. ROC also announced a $4.9 million follow-on U.S. Department of War contract, a planned acquisition of Zuccaro Technical Consulting, a SAFETY Act DT&E designation for ROC Watch, and leading NIST benchmark rankings.
Rank One Computing Corporation entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Zuccaro Technical Consulting LLC, a digital forensics software and services provider to U.S. federal customers. ROC will pay $500,000 in upfront cash and approximately $2,500,000 in restricted common stock, plus a performance-based revenue share.
The seller can earn quarterly payments equal to 15% of ROC Evidence Advanced Revenue over a seven-year term, capped at $7,000,000. ROC also plans to grant up to $500,000 in retention restricted stock units to ZTC employees. Closing is expected in the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary conditions, including regulatory approvals, key employment agreements, and completion of ZTC’s 2024 and 2025 audits.
After closing, ZTC is expected to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary, adding digital forensics capabilities, active federal contracts, and specialized engineers to ROC’s Vision AI platform, targeting the $9.4 billion digital evidence and forensics market.

Rank One Computing Corporation reported a weaker first quarter of 2026 as it ramped up after its Nasdaq IPO while maintaining strong product momentum. Revenue was $2.55 million, down 20% from $3.17 million a year earlier, mainly because government R&D contract revenue dropped 69% due to procurement delays following the late-2025 U.S. government shutdown.
Product revenue was relatively stable at $2.32 million versus $2.44 million, with strong growth in key offerings: ROC Watch revenue rose 77% and ROC ABIS revenue rose 255% year-over-year, partly offset by lower ROC SDK and ROC Enroll revenue. Gross margin remained high at 79%, but operating expenses increased to $5.0 million from $3.5 million as the company invested in product development, business development, and public company infrastructure.
Net loss widened to $3.04 million from $0.74 million, and basic and diluted loss per share was ($0.18) versus ($0.05). Following its IPO, ROC’s balance sheet improved significantly, with cash and cash equivalents of $16.6 million as of March 31, 2026 and no long-term or structured debt, providing resources to support growth across its Vision AI platform.
