Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 9, 2026, or the 2025 Form 10-K. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in “Item 1.A. Risk Factors” section of our 2025 Form 10-K, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Overview

We have developed an innovative suite of purpose-built handheld devices for point-of-need chemical analysis. Leveraging complementary analytical technologies including our proprietary mass spectrometry (“Mass Spec”) and optical spectroscopy, analytics and machine learning technologies, we make devices that are significantly smaller and more accessible than conventional laboratory instruments. Our devices are used at the point-of-need to interrogate unknown and invisible materials and provide quick, actionable answers to directly address vital health and safety applications, including the fentanyl and illicit drug crisis, toxic carcinogen exposure, and global security threats.

We create simplified measurement devices that our customers can use as accurate tools where and when their work needs to be done, rather than overly complex and centralized analytical instrumentation. We believe the insights and answers our devices provide will accelerate workflows, reduce costs, and offer transformational opportunities for our end users.

Front-line workers rely upon our Mass Spec handheld devices to combat the opioid crisis and detect counterfeit pharmaceuticals and illicit materials in the air or on surfaces at levels 1,000 times below their lethal dose. First responders also utilize our handheld devices to detect and identify thousands of hazardous bulk materials. The term “products” as used in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” refers to the MX908, ThreatID, ProtectIR, XplorIR, VipIR, NIRLab and related devices.

On March 4, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its Desktop Portfolio to Repligen. The Company has determined the sale of the Desktop Portfolio represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on its business and therefore met the criteria for classification as discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2025. Accordingly, the Desktop Portfolio is reported

as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations. The related results of operations from the Desktop Portfolio are classified within discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. Applicable amounts in prior years have been recast to conform to this discontinued operations presentation. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of the Desktop Portfolio upon closing.

Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. Our ability to generate revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend on the successful further development and commercialization of our products. We generated revenue from continuing operations of $29.5 million and $24.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and incurred net losses from continuing operations of $23.8 million and $22.7 million for those same periods. As of June 30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $247.2 million. We expect to continue to incur net losses as we focus on growing sales of our products in both the United States and international markets, scaling our manufacturing operations, continuing research and development efforts to develop new products and further enhance our existing products. As a result, we may need additional funding for expenses related to our operating activities, including selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development and commercialization, we are unable to accurately predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when, or if, we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenue sufficient to achieve profitability, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of available cash, equity offerings, debt financings and strategic alliances. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other agreements or arrangements when needed on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise capital or enter into such agreements as, and when needed, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the further development and commercialization efforts of one or more of our products, or may be forced to reduce or terminate our operations.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and revenue from product and service will enable us to fund our operating expenses, capital expenditure requirements and debt service payments for at least the next 12 months. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Global Economic Conditions

We are continuing to closely monitor macroeconomic factors, including, but not limited to, continued inflationary and interest rate pressures, changes in countries’ trade policies and tariffs, challenging capital market conditions and the limited availability of financing alternatives, which may have an impact on our business, results of operations and financial results.

​

We are closely monitoring continued economic uncertainty in the United States and abroad, including volatility in the global markets and the rise and fluctuations in inflation and interest rates. These developments and the potential worsening of other macroeconomic conditions present risks for us, and our suppliers and customers. For example, general inflation in the United States, Europe, the Middle East and other geographies has recently been at levels not experienced in recent decades, which has led to higher prices for our raw materials and other inputs, as well as higher salaries and travel expenses, which could continue to negatively impact our business by increasing our cost of sales and operating expenses. General inflation could also negatively impact our business if it leads to spending pressure and decreased available capital for our customers to deploy to purchase our products and services.

​

Challenging capital market conditions and the limited availability of financing alternatives, together with inflationary and interest rates pressures, may contribute to more cautious spending by our customers. We cannot accurately predict the full impact of current macroeconomic factors on the budgets and capital expenditures of our customers, or the timing of the normalization of customer purchasing patterns.

​

We are closely monitoring the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the conflicts in the Middle East. Although we do not directly source any material products or supplies from Russia, Ukraine or the Middle East, our customers in Europe and the Middle East could be impacted by extended conflicts or an escalation of these conflicts into neighboring countries.

​

We are also closely monitoring increases or changes in tariffs on parts and components imported into the U.S., as well as

33

reciprocal tariffs recently implemented by non-U.S. countries where we export our finished products. We do not expect these tariffs to materially impact our business or results of operations in the 2026 fiscal year. Nonetheless, we will continue to review and assess how any current or future tariffs may affect our business.

​

While it is difficult to predict all of the impacts these global economic events and continued inflationary, tariff and interest rate pressures will have on our business and to predict the effects of these factors on our customers’ spending in the near term, we believe the long-term opportunity that we see for our products and services remain unchanged.

​

For further discussion of the possible impacts of these global factors and other risks on our business, see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our 2025 Form 10-K.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe that our financial performance has been and in the foreseeable future will continue to be primarily driven by the following factors. While each of these factors presents significant opportunities for our business, they also pose important challenges that we must successfully address to sustain our growth and improve our results of operations. Our ability to successfully address the factors below is subject to various risks and uncertainties.

Device sales

Our financial performance has largely been driven by, and in the future will continue to be impacted by, the rate of sales of our handheld devices. Management focuses on device sales as an indicator of current business success and a leading indicator of likely future recurring revenue from consumables and services. We expect our device sales to continue to grow as we increase penetration in our existing markets and expand into, or offer new features and solutions that appeal to, new markets.

We plan to grow our device sales in the coming years through multiple strategies including expanding our sales efforts domestically and globally and continuing to enhance the underlying technology and applications for our handheld devices. We regularly solicit feedback from our customers and focus our research and development efforts on enhancing our devices and enabling our customers to use additional applications that address their needs, which we believe in turn helps to drive additional sales of our devices and consumables.

Our handheld device orders relate to our MX908, ThreatID, ProtectIR, XplorIR, VipIR and NIRLab, as well as components for the Aerosol and Vapor Chemical Agent Detectors (“AVCAD”) program. Historically, our handheld devices have been used by municipal, state, federal and foreign governments and governmental agencies. Our sales process with government customers is often long and involves multiple levels of approvals, testing and, in some cases, trials. Device orders from a government customer are typically large orders and can be impacted by the timing of their capital budgets. As a result, the revenue for our handheld devices can vary significantly from period-to-period and has been and may continue to be concentrated in a small number of customers in any given period.

Recurring revenue

We regularly assess trends relating to recurring revenue which includes consumables, accessories, software, software subscription and services based on our product offerings, our customer base and our understanding of how our customers use our products. Recurring revenue was 30% and 36% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our recurring revenue as a percentage of total revenue will vary based upon new device placements in the period. As our device installed base expands, recurring revenue on an absolute basis is expected to increase and over time should be an increasingly important contributor

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in the ‘‘Risk Factors’’ section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

We have developed an innovative suite of purpose-built handheld devices for point-of-need chemical analysis. Leveraging complementary analytical technologies including our proprietary mass spectrometry, or Mass Spec, and FTIR, an optical spectroscopy technology and analytics and machine learning technologies, we make devices that are significantly smaller and more accessible than conventional laboratory instruments.

On April 29, 2024, we entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, with RedWave, CAM3 HoldCo, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company, or Seller Entity, each of the holders of outstanding equity interests of Seller Entity, or the Beneficial Sellers, and the other parties thereto, pursuant to which we purchased all of the outstanding equity interests of RedWave, and the transaction closed on the same day. The purchase price included an initial payment of $45.0 million in cash and 1,497,171 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock, which reflects closing adjustments relating to working capital, cash and debt adjustments. RedWave is a leading provider of portable Fourier Transform Infrared, or FTIR, spectroscopic analyzers for rapid chemical identification of bulk materials. FTIR, an optical spectroscopy technology, is highly regarded for its specific substance identification abilities across a broad range of bulk materials. This acquisition provides us with an expanded portfolio of handheld chemical analysis devices for forensic workflows that quickly detect and identify unknown solids, liquids, vapors, and aerosols at the point of need. In addition, RedWave provided a line of accessories for pharma Process Analytical Technology, or PAT, and industrial Quality Control applications.

On March 4, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its Desktop Portfolio to Repligen. The Company has determined the sale of the Desktop Portfolio represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on its business and therefore met the criteria for classification as discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2025. Accordingly, the Desktop Portfolio is reported as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations. The related assets and liabilities of the Desktop Portfolio are classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheets and the results of operations from the Desktop Portfolio as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. Applicable amounts in prior years have been recast to conform to this discontinued operations presentation. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of the Desktop Portfolio upon closing.

Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. Our ability to generate revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend on the successful further development and commercialization of our products. We generated revenue of $56.2 million and $47.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and incurred net losses from continuing operations of $33.3 million and $53.1 million for those same years. As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $223.3 million. We expect to continue to incur net losses as we focus on growing sales of our products in both the United States and international markets, including growing our sales teams, scaling our manufacturing operations, continuing research and development efforts to develop new products and further enhance our existing products. Further, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. As a result, we may need additional funding for expenses related to our operating activities, including selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses.

We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Restructuring and Strategic Re-Alignment

In November 2024, we announced an organizational restructuring to strengthen operational efficiencies. As part of the organizational restructuring, and to reduce our annual cash burn, we implemented an approximately 11% workforce reduction to rationalize our bioprocessing and life science instrumentation investments in sales, marketing and research and development during the current slower growth market environment. We incurred approximately $1.5 million and $0.7 million of expenses related to this organizational restructuring for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

During the first half of 2025, we transitioned manufacturing operations from Boston, Massachusetts to Danbury, Connecticut. In June 2025, we abandoned our Boston facility in connection with transitioning the manufacturing operations and moved our corporate headquarters to Burlington, Massachusetts. We recorded a $1.0 million restructuring charge for the lease abandonment, including our remaining right-of-use asset, utilities and other costs. We made full payment of such charges in June 2025, including the rents. The organizational and facility restructurings were substantially completed in June 2025 and there were no amounts outstanding as of December 31, 2025.
