 have been of upmost importance. Furthermore, since our inception, we have recognized the value
of our employees and have always prioritized employee well-being through facets such as excellent benefits, programs, educational assistance,
and insurance of a safe and healthy work environment. We also understand that our efforts to promote value and well -being are not limited
to our employees. We are committed to the communities we belong to both locally and professionally. We recently started to formalize
this commitment, providing tangible benefits back to the community that supports us.

Environmental

As
global awareness of environmental sustainability continues to grow, we recognize our responsibility to implement innovations that
not only advance aerospace solutions but also promote environmentally conscious practices with measurable benefits for our planet. A
core element of our sustainability strategy is the integration of in-house 3D printing technology as a primary manufacturing method.
While 3D printing offers numerous operational advantages, one of its most significant contribution lies in reducing environmental
impact. Notably, a portion of our LizzieSat® satellite bus is 3D printed, aligning with our mission to minimize our ecological
footprint.

3D
printing significantly reduces energy consumption and material waste compared to traditional machining methods, which often generate
more scrap than usable parts. By eliminating the excess waste and energy demands of conventional processes, we achieve greater efficiency
and a lower carbon footprint. The advantages extend beyond manufacturing: the lighter weight of 3D-printed components reduces transportation
energy—whether by cargo ship or commercial vehicle—and requires less storage space, thereby lowering the energy needed for
warehousing.

Looking
ahead, we are committed to further enhancing our sustainability efforts. We actively explore the use of biodegradable and recycled materials
for part production and continue to improve existing practices. Currently, we recycle approximately 5,000 pounds of metal annually, in
addition to all used oil and coolant. As technologies evolve, we remain dedicated to adopting next-generation sustainable solutions and
preserving our planet for future generations.

Social

We
recognize the vital importance of our employees, the communities we operate in, and the global community at large. This awareness
drives our commitment to implementing initiatives that create meaningful, positive impact - from the individual to a global
scale.

Employee
well-being lies at the heart of our mission. Rooted in a culture of family and community, we uphold our core values by offering robust
benefits, educational assistance, and a safe, healthy work environment for all. We also celebrate the value of
