Aeluma, Inc. 10-Q

Item 1A. Risk Factors This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the risk factors included in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. The management team is not aware of any material changes to the risk factors disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, except for the risk factors set forth below. A prolonged U.S. federal government shutdown could materially and adversely affect our business, operations, and legal proceedings. Any disruption in the operations of the U.S. federal government, including a temporary or prolonged shutdown resulting from the failure of Congress to enact appropriations bills or raise the federal debt ceiling, could materially and adversely affect our business, revenue, operations, financial condition, and legal matters. A federal government shutdown may result in the furlough of federal employees, reduced availability of government services, and suspension or delay of activities by key agencies that regulate, fund, or interact with our business, including the SEC, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, NASA, and the U.S. Department of Defense. During such periods, review and approval of our filings, applications, and submissions could be delayed, and we may be unable to access or rely upon certain government data or systems. In addition, the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts and federal judiciary operations rely on appropriated funds and fee-based reserves that may be exhausted in the event of an extended shutdown. If federal court funding lapses or is limited to “essential” functions only, civil litigation, bankruptcy proceedings, and regulatory enforcement actions involving the Company, or our affiliates could be postponed or suspended. Any such delay could impede our ability to resolve disputes, enforce contractual rights, or obtain timely judicial relief, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial position or prospects. Even the threat of a government shutdown or prolonged budget negotiation uncertainty may adversely affect the broader U.S. economy, investor confidence, and capital markets. Such conditions could negatively impact our access to financing, timing of capital-raising transactions, and the liquidity or trading volume of our securities. Accordingly, a federal government shutdown or uncertainty regarding the continuity of government operations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and stock price. Federal Budget and Debt-Ceiling Disputes May Adversely Affect Capital Markets and Our Financing Activities. The uncertainty surrounding government funding debates and debt-ceiling negotiations can negatively affect market conditions, investor sentiment, and the liquidity of small-cap and microcap issuers such as ours. If market volatility or trading disruptions were to occur during a shutdown, our ability to execute at-the-market offerings or other financing transactions under our effective shelf registration statement could be materially impaired. Accordingly, any federal government shutdown, lapse in federal court funding, or protracted budget impasse could materially and adversely affect our regulatory compliance, financing capabilities, litigation outcomes, and overall financial condition. 19
