SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES *Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation* The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, after elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024. The information as of December 31, 2024 included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets was derived from those audited financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial information for the interim periods presented. The unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any other future annual or interim period. *Use of Estimates* The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts therein. The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to valuations of intangibles, derivatives, and warrants, revenue recognition, inventory valuation, valuation of share-based payments, income taxes, depreciable lives assessment and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved, actual results reported in future periods could differ from those estimates. *Foreign Currency Translation* Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are a result of the effect of exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Realized gains and losses on those foreign currency transactions are included in determining net loss for the period of exchange and are recorded in other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. *Segment Information* The Company determines operating segments based on how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages the business, makes operating decisions around the allocation of resources, and evaluates operating performance. The CODM is the Executive Management team. The Company has determined that it operates in one operating segment and one reportable segment, relating to the sale and servicing of lidar hardware and software, as the CODM regularly reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis. Financial information regularly reviewed by the CODM includes revenue, income or loss from operations, and net income or loss. *Concentration of Credit Risk* Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities. As of March 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents are comprised of operating checking accounts and short-term highly rated money market savings accounts. Short-term investments are comprised of highly rated corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, a leading manufacturer of agricultural equipment and an automotive supplier accounted for $0.5 million and $0.1 million of total revenue, respectively, representing 80% and 14% of total revenue, respectively. For the same period in 2024, a major global commercial trucking OEM accounted for $0.5 million in revenue, representing 52% of total revenue, and a leading manufacturer of agricultural equipment accounted for $0.3 million in revenue, representing 33% of total revenue. As of March 31, 2025, accounts receivable related to these customers accounted for 41% of total accounts receivable, net of allowances on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Also as of March 31, 2025, the Company’s contract liability with one customer accounted for 55% of total accounts receivable, net of allowances. Typically, a significant concentration of components and the products sold are manufactured and obtained from single or limited-source suppliers. The loss of any single or limited-source supplier, the failure of any of these suppliers to perform as expected, or the disruption in the supply chain of components from these suppliers could subject the Company to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, increased cost of sales, possible loss of revenues, or significant delays in product development or product deliveries, any of which could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and operating results. *Warrant Liability* The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance included in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, whether the warrants meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent reporting period end date while the warrants are outstanding. Warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance, or when the conditions for equity classification are met, and are not remeasured. Warrants that do not meet the required criteria for equity classification are classified as liabilities. The Company adjusts such warrants to fair value at each reporting period until the warrants are exercised or expire. Changes in fair value are recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. *Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements* In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-01, Compensation: Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The amendments in this ASU clarify existing guidance related to profits interest and similar awards. ASU 2024-01 was adopted by the Company beginning January 1, 2025. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. *Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements* In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update require disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The ASU is expected to result in incremental disclosures to the Company’s financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The amendments in this ASU require additional disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods for the Company beginning January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its financial statement disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20). The amendments in this ASU clarify the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in ASU 2020-06. The ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, after elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024. The information as of December 31, 2024 included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets was derived from those audited financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial information for the interim periods presented. The unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any other future annual or interim period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts therein. The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to valuations of intangibles, derivatives, and warrants, revenue recognition, inventory valuation, valuation of share-based payments, income taxes, depreciable lives assessment and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved, actual results reported in future periods could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are a result of the effect of exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Realized gains and losses on those foreign currency transactions are included in determining net loss for the period of exchange and are recorded in other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Segment Information

The Company determines operating segments based on how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages the business, makes operating decisions around the allocation of resources, and evaluates operating performance. The CODM is the Executive Management team. The Company has determined that it operates in one operating segment and one reportable segment, relating to the sale and servicing of lidar hardware and software, as the CODM regularly reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis. Financial information regularly reviewed by the CODM includes revenue, income or loss from operations, and net income or loss.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities. As of March 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents are comprised of operating checking accounts and short-term highly rated money market savings accounts. Short-term investments are comprised of highly rated corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, a leading manufacturer of agricultural equipment and an automotive supplier accounted for $0.5 million and $0.1 million of total revenue, respectively, representing 80% and 14% of total revenue, respectively. For the same period in 2024, a major global commercial trucking OEM accounted for $0.5 million in revenue, representing 52% of total revenue, and a leading manufacturer of agricultural equipment accounted for $0.3 million in revenue, representing 33% of total revenue.

As of March 31, 2025, accounts receivable related to these customers accounted for 41% of total accounts receivable, net of allowances on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Typically, a significant concentration of components and the products sold are manufactured and obtained from single or limited-source suppliers. The loss of any single or limited-source supplier, the failure of any of these suppliers to perform as expected, or the disruption in the supply chain of components from these suppliers could subject the Company to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, increased cost of sales, possible loss of revenues, or significant delays in product development or product deliveries, any of which could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and operating results.

Warrant Liability

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance included in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, whether the warrants meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent reporting period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

Warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance, or when the conditions for equity classification are met, and are not remeasured. Warrants that do not meet the required criteria for equity classification are classified as liabilities. The Company adjusts such warrants to fair value at each reporting period until the warrants are exercised or expire. Changes in fair value are recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
