Adarsh Parekh: This increase reflects a $486,000 increase in satellite and software-related depreciation, higher input costs for more complex contracts, ongoing supply chain cost pressures, a 36% increase in revenue, which inherently drives higher costs. Gross profit for Q2 2025 was a loss of $1 million, compared to a loss of about $841,000 in Q2 2024. The increase in gross loss was primarily due to higher depreciation from recently capitalized assets, which are essential to future revenue streams, contract mix evolution, reduced contribution from legacy services as we transition to higher margin, recurring revenue models. SG&A expenses for the total for the quarter total $4.3 million, up from $3.1 million in Q2 2024. Key drivers to this increase included strategic headcount growth aligned with our move to higher value offerings, expanded mission operations for satellite support, increased software infrastructure investment, accrued equity compensation and employee bonuses, and higher depreciation expense.
