| Statement |

| As the company continues to scale, we believe additional significant margin improvements will continue as part of our plan to reach profitability by end of 2024 |
| During the first quarter of '23, we recorded $2.9 million in revenue for the first 3 months of the year, and I'm pleased to report that during the second quarter, we increased our quarterly performance and booked $3.6 million in revenue and over 20% quarter-over-quarter increase |
| A significant driver of this improvement is due to healthy margins attributed to K1B product sales and continued maintenance services across our installed base of over 7,000 units nationwide |
| As we prior noted, we plan to continue growing the company, and we believe our sales pipeline is healthy and increasing sales will allow us to grow, drive economies of scale and better leverage our fixed cost base |
| As we communicated last year, we believe that the acquisition of Case Emergency Systems will be accretive, and we are pleased with the financial results posted for the first 6 months of this year |
| Although not yet completely addressed, some of the supply chain issues have begun to subside, which we also believe will aid in reducing lead times, enabling us to improve cash flow and recognize revenue in a much more timely manner |
| Reaching slightly better than breakeven at the gross profit level, marks a significant milestone for the company as we continue to pave our path to profitability |
| But as we scale, those fixed costs can be spread out over more and more units and eventually provide strong leverage for our recurring revenue business model |
| We successfully cleared both compliance efficiencies from NASDAQ and Knightscope is now back in good standing with the exchange |
| Comparing the first half of '22 to first half '23, on a per share basis, we improved significantly from a $0.26 loss per common share to a $0.14 loss per common share |
| We've received a good amount of positive feedback from the first quarter town hall |
| That's right, not only double-digit growth over 2022, but literally potentially doubling the company's revenue by the end of 2023 |
| Our ongoing efforts to reduce costs and improve our gross margins has also begun to take effect |
| Our continued focus on decreasing our cost contributed to producing and servicing ASRs has begun to yield results |
| Last year, in 2022, we recorded $5.6 million in aggregate revenue for the year, reflecting an over 60% growth rate from the prior year in '21 |
| While the subscription model provides Knightscope with a predictable revenue stream, the technology we produce is not only highly complex, it also requires a certain fixed cost basis to operate |
| For the 6 months ended June 2023, we booked approximately $6.5 million of revenue, putting us on an over $12 million annual revenue run rate, well over double last year |
| I wanted to take a moment to thank all of our supporters, as all of you are an integral part of the Knightscope extended team in helping make the long-term mission a reality |
| If we're going to achieve our long-term mission of making the U.S |
| Thank you |
| And to reiterate, Knightscope delivers a recurring revenue business model for a recurring societal problem |
| Statement |

| We reflected a gross loss during the first quarter of '23 of about $0.2 million or negative 7% to now a gross profit for the second quarter of $9,000 or approximately 0.3% |
| Market manipulation, disclosure violations and tortious interference are serious crimes |
| On a 6-month percentage basis from 2022 to 2023, gross margins moved dramatically from a negative 62% to a negative 3% |
| It's unfortunate that we're working hard to make communities in our country safer, but now we have to also deal with bad actors in the financial markets |
| Securities and Exchange Commission in response to what we believe to be unethical and potentially illegal conduct against Knightscope and its investors |
