None of the warning signs we check for were found.

We look for five warning signs: doubt it can keep going, weak checks on its own accounts, a notice that its past accounts can't be relied on, a change of auditor, and one customer bringing in a big share of sales. We don't check lawsuits, investigations or debt yet.

We checked the auditor's report, internal controls, restatement notices, auditor changes and big customers in the 10-K filed 20 Feb 2026, plus the 10-Q filed 23 Jul 2026 and 11 later 8-Ks.

Cheap for a reason is the question the numbers cannot answer.

Whether the price already reflects the risks is what the deep dive is for.

• We may be adversely affected by changes in levels of U.S. government spending or acquisition priorities, as well as significant delays in U.S. government appropriations.

  Could happen

  the evolving nature of the national security threat environment, U.S. national security strategy, U.S. foreign policy, the domestic political environment, macroeconomic conditions and the ability of the U.S. government to enact relevant legislation such as authorization and appropriations bills. The government may also constrain discretionary spending by instituting enforceable spending caps. A reduction in overall U.S. spending, on an absolute or inflation-adjusted basis, because of shifting priorities, budget compromises or otherwise could adversely affect our business. Additionally, budget uncertainty, extended or repeated U.S. Government shutdowns, the use of continuing resolutions or the federal debt ceiling could adversely affect our industry and both the timing and quantum of funding for our programs or for the prime contractors for which we provide services.

• We are currently subject to disputes, legal and regulatory claims, investigations and proceedings, some of which could be material.

  Could happen

  We are currently subject to disputes, legal and regulatory claims, investigations and proceedings and could become subject to additional disputes, claims, investigations and proceedings in the future, some of which could be material. These proceedings may be brought by the government or private parties and may arise out of a number of matters, including contract disputes, environmental claims, property disputes, antitrust claims and personal injury claims. We are currently in a contract dispute with a customer. Even if we are ultimately successful, defense of these claims can be costly and time-consuming and may divert management's attention and resources. The outcome of any pending or future claims, investigations or proceedings is inherently unpredictable, but such outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our business and our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
