Organization and Summary of Changes in Significant Accounting Policies

IronNet, Inc., formerly known as LGL Systems Acquisition Corporation (“Legacy LGL”), was incorporated in the state of Delaware on April 30, 2019 for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

On March 15, 2021, Legacy LGL entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Merger (“Merger Agreement”), as amended on August 6, 2021, by and among Legacy LGL, LGL Systems Merger Sub Inc. (the “Merger Sub”) and IronNet Cybersecurity, Inc. (“Legacy IronNet”). On August 26, 2021, the Merger Agreement was consummated and the Merger was completed (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, Legacy LGL changed its name to IronNet, Inc., and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) ticker symbols for its Class A common stock and warrants were changed to “IRNT” and “IRNT.WS” respectively.

Throughout the notes to the consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted, "we," "us," "our," "IronNet," the "Company," and similar terms refer to Legacy IronNet and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the transactions associated with the Merger, and IronNet, Inc. and the Company's subsidiaries after the Merger.

Voluntary Filings Under Chapter 11

On October 12, 2023 ("Petition Date"), the Company and IronNet Cybersecurity (“IronNet Cybersecurity”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively, the “Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court of Delaware ("Bankruptcy Court") (such cases, the “Chapter 11 Cases”). The Debtors and their subsidiaries continue to operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. The Chapter 11 Cases are currently jointly administered under the caption In re IronNet, Inc. et al., Case No. 23-11710 (Bankr. D. Del. 2023). See Note 13, Subsequent Events, for additional information.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of IronNet, Inc. and accompanying notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2023. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on January 31. References to fiscal 2024, for example, refer to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2024. The results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending January 31, 2024 or any future period.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments (except as otherwise noted), necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of April 30, 2023, its results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, changes in stockholders’ equity for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, and cash flows for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in order to conform to the current period presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification Topic 852, Reorganizations (“ASC 852”), as the Debtors did not file the Chapter 11 cases until October 12, 2023. Refer to Note 13, Subsequent Events, for more information.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the period of benefit for deferred commissions, the useful life of property and equipment, stock-based compensation expense, fair value of warrants, fair value of conversion options of debt, obsolescence reserves for inventory, and income taxes. If the underlying estimates and assumptions upon which the financial statements are based change in future periods, actual amounts may differ from those included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Going Concern

Under ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”), the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet our future obligations as they become due within one year of the financial statements being issued in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

As of April 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7,544 which is not legally restricted to use, collectable receivables of $3,451, accounts payable and accrued expenses of $16,800, including $7,242 due to taxing authorities, of which approximately $6,335 was subsequently paid, $7,553 in principal amounts owed on convertible debt and $19,045 in principal amounts owed on related party debt, as discussed in Note 9.

In February 2022, the Company entered into an equity line with Tumim Stone Capital, LLC (“Tumim”) under which the Company may, in its discretion, sell shares of its common stock to Tumim subject to various conditions and limitations set forth in the purchase agreement with Tumim. As of April 30, 2023, the Company was not able to raise additional funds under the equity line with Tumim. Subsequently, on June 16, 2023, Tumim notified the Company of Tumim’s election to terminate the Purchase Agreement, effective as of June 20, 2023.

On September 14, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement ("SPA") with 3i LP ("3i"), which is an affiliate of Tumim, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue senior unsecured convertible promissory notes (the "Convertible Notes") to 3i in the aggregate principal amount of up to $25,750. On September 15, 2022, the Company issued a Convertible Note to 3i in the principal amount of $10,300, net of discount for cash proceeds of $10,000. The Company initially borrowed approximately $10,300 and issued related Convertible Notes to 3i, including a 3% Original Issue Discount ("OID"), with an 18-month term. As of April 30, 2023, the Company prepaid approximately $2,747 of the Convertible Notes to 3i and, as a result, approximately $7,553 principal amount of the Convertible Note was outstanding as of the end of the period. The Company subsequently prepaid a total of $3,320 of the Convertible Note in May and June 2023 and, as a result, approximately $4,233 in principal remained outstanding thereafter. As of the date of this report, the conditions to the additional borrowing have not been met. See Note 9 and Note 13, Subsequent Events, for additional information.

Between December 14, 2022 and September 17, 2023, the Company issued senior secured promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $8,475 to a total of eight lenders including directors of the Company. Between January 11, 2023 and August 31, 2023, the Company issued senior secured convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $15,275 to entities affiliated with C5 Capital Limited (“C5”), a beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding

common stock. As of April 30, 2023, the Company had issued $7,200 in senior secured promissory notes to eight lenders and $11,845 in senior secured convertible promissory notes to C5. See Note 9 and Note 13, Subsequent Events, for additional information.

The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to the rate of its growth, its ability to attract and retain customers and their willingness and ability to pay for the Company's products and services, and the timing and extent of spending to support its multiple and ongoing efforts to market and continue to develop its products. Further, the Company may enter into future arrangements to acquire or invest in businesses, products, services, strategic partnerships, and technologies. The Company needs additional equity or debt financing in order to continue its operations, which it may not be able to raise on terms acceptable to it or at all. If additional funds are not available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations would be adversely affected.

Despite the Company’s current operating plans to implement the Joint Plan (as defined in Note 13) and emerge from bankruptcy, focus its business, reduce its expenses, improve its margins and mitigate uncertainties related to the foregoing, management believes that the Company does not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents on hand to support current operations for at least one year from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements without additional financing. Management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The financial statements as of April 30, 2023 do not include any adjustments related to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases.

Based on its current planned operations, in the absence of additional sources of liquidity, management anticipates that the Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flows from operations will not be sufficient to meet the Company’s operating and liquidity needs for any meaningful period of time following the date of this report. Given that additional sources of liquidity have not been available to it, the Company filed the Chapter 11 Cases. The Chapter 11 Cases have not been determined to alleviate the previously identified substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, including following the Effective Date of the Joint Plan. The Joint Plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on January 18, 2024. The Debtors expect that the Effective Date of the Joint Plan will occur as soon as all conditions precedent to the Joint Plan have been satisfied. Although the Debtors anticipate that all conditions will be satisfied, the Debtors can make no assurances as to when, or ultimately if, the Joint Plan will become effective.

On September 2, 2023, the Company furloughed almost all of the Company’s employees and substantially curtailed business operations as a result of the Company’s liquidity position. Subsequently, on September 29, 2023, given the unavailability of additional sources of liquidity and after considering strategic alternatives, the Company ceased substantially all of its business activities and terminated the remaining employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The furlough of employees and cessation of business operations constituted events of default on all of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness. See Note 13, Subsequent Events, for additional information.

On October 10, 2023, the Debtors, and ITC Global Advisers LLC (“ITC GA”), and/or ITC GA’s designated affiliates and/or related funds or accounts, and such other lender parties that have agreed or may agree from time to time to provide commitments to fund the DIP Facility (as defined below) (the “DIP Facility Lender”) entered into a binding term sheet for debtor-in-possession financing (the “Term Sheet”), which sets forth the principal terms of a superpriority, senior secured debtor-in-possession credit facility (the “DIP Facility”, the credit agreement evidencing the DIP Facility, the “DIP Credit Agreement” and, together with the other definitive documents governing the DIP Facility and the DIP order, collectively, the “DIP Documents”), pursuant to which the DIP Facility Lender would provide the Company with a senior (priming) secured and superpriority debtor-in-possession delayed-draw term loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $10,000, (the “Maximum Facility Amount”), consisting of up to $8,500 of term loans (the “DIP Term Loans”) and $1,500 of the Bridge Amount (as defined below) (collectively, the “DIP Loans”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Sheet. Until the entry of a final order approving the DIP Facility by the Bankruptcy Court, a maximum amount of up to $4,500 of the DIP Facility (inclusive of the Bridge Amount) would be available on an interim basis. See Note 13, Subsequent Events, for additional information.

Upon the execution of the Term Sheet, the DIP Facility Lender advanced the Bridge Amount of $1,499 to the Company. The Bridge Amount is secured by all the assets of the Debtors. See Note 13, Subsequent Events, for additional information.

On October 12, 2023, the Debtors, filed the Chapter 11 Cases. In connection with the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors resumed business operations and rehired a portion of the previously furloughed and terminated employees. The Debtors and their subsidiaries continue to operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. The filing of the Charter 11 Cases constituted an event of default on all of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness. See Note 13, Subsequent Events, for additional information.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to generate sufficient liquidity to meet its contractual obligations and operating needs. Beginning on the Petition Date, it is also contingent upon its ability to, subject to the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, implement a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization and emerge from the Chapter 11 Cases. As noted above, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order for the Joint Plan on January 18, 2024, and the Joint Plan will become effective upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the Joint Plan, including the adoption of the Company’s new organization documents, the recapitalization of the Company in accordance with the Joint Plan, the filing of any final plan supplements, the Debtors shall have entered into the exit financing facility contemplated by the Joint Plan, and other customary conditions. Although the Debtors anticipate that all conditions will be satisfied, the Debtors can make no assurances as to when, or ultimately if, the Joint Plan will become effective. The Debtors expect that the Effective Date of the Joint Plan will occur as soon as all conditions precedent to the Joint Plan have been satisfied. Although the Debtors anticipate that all conditions will be satisfied, the Debtors can make no assurances as to when, or ultimately if, the Joint Plan will become effective. See Note 13, Subsequent Events, for additional information.

New Accounting Pronouncement Adopted in Fiscal 2024

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326). This standard requires a new method for recognizing credit losses that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) method. The CECL method requires the recognition of all losses expected over the life of a financial instrument upon origination or purchase of the instrument, unless the Company elects to recognize such instruments at fair value with changes in profit and loss (the fair value option). This standard is effective for the Company for the earlier of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 or the time at which the Company no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company ("EGC") under SEC rules. The Company adopted the standard as of February 1, 2023 on a modified retrospective basis resulting in an increase to the beginning balance of accumulated deficit of approximately $182 as of February 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the three-month period ended April 30, 2023. Results for reporting periods prior to FY2024 continue to be presented in accordance with previously applicable GAAP while results for subsequent reporting periods are presented under ASC 326.

Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This ASU also expands disclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to better understand the entity’s measurement and assessment of segment performance and resource allocation. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which enhances the transparency, effectiveness and comparability of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information related to income tax rate reconciliations and the jurisdictions in which income taxes are paid. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted.

Segment and Geographic Information

Segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for the purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company operates as one operating segment.

The following table presents revenue by geographic location:
