Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of IronNet, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of IronNet, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of January 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive loss, of changes in stockholders' equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Substantial Doubt about the Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss, negative cash outflows from operating activities, and an accumulated deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1. Organization and Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

IronNet, Inc., formerly known as LGL Systems Acquisition Corporation ("Legacy LGL"), was incorporated in the state of Delaware on April 30, 2019 for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

On March 15, 2021, Legacy LGL entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Merger ("Merger Agreement"), as amended on August 6, 2021, by and among Legacy LGL, LGL Systems Merger Sub Inc. (the "Merger Sub") and IronNet Cybersecurity, Inc. ("Legacy IronNet"). On August 26, 2021, the Merger Agreement was consummated and the Merger was completed (the "Merger"). In connection with the Merger, Legacy LGL changed its name to IronNet, Inc., and the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") ticker symbols for its Class A common stock and warrants were changed to "IRNT" and "IRNT.WS" respectively.

Throughout the notes to the consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted, "we," "us," "our," "IronNet," the "Company," and similar terms refer to Legacy IronNet and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the transactions associated with the Merger, and IronNet, Inc. and our subsidiaries after the Merger.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, (i) each outstanding share of Legacy IronNet common stock and preferred stock (with each share of Legacy IronNet preferred stock being treated as if it were converted into ten (10) shares of Legacy IronNet common stock on the effective date of the Merger) was converted into the right to receive (a) a number of shares of Company common stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined below) and (b) a cash amount payable in respect of fractional shares of Legacy IronNet common stock that would otherwise be issued in connection with the foregoing conversion, if applicable, and (ii) each Legacy IronNet option, restricted stock unit, restricted stock award that was outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger (and by its terms did not terminate upon the closing of the Merger) remains outstanding and (x) in the case of options, represents the right to purchase a number of shares of Company common stock equal to the number of shares of Legacy IronNet common stock subject to such option multiplied by the Exchange Ratio used for Legacy IronNet common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) at an exercise price per share equal to the current exercise price per share for such option divided by the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) and (y) in the case of restricted stock units and restricted stock awards, represent a number of shares of Company common stock equal to the number of shares of Legacy IronNet common stock subject to such restricted stock unit or restricted stock award multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole share). In addition, Legacy IronNet stockholders and eligible holders of options, restricted stock unit awards and restricted stock awards (as applicable, only to the extent time vested as of the closing of the Merger) were also eligible to receive additional merger consideration in the form of a pro rata portion of 1,078 shares of Company common stock if the volume weighted average closing share price for the Company's common stock equaled or exceeded $13.00 for ten (10) consecutive days during the two-year period following the closing of the Merger. This condition was satisfied and the additional shares of Company common stock were issued in September 2021.

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, Legacy LGL has been treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on our existing stockholders being the majority stockholders and holding majority voting power in the combined company, our senior management comprising the majority of the senior management of the combined company, and our ongoing operations comprising the ongoing operations of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of Legacy IronNet issuing shares for the net assets of Legacy LGL, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Legacy LGL were recognized at fair value (which was consistent with carrying value), with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Merger in these financial statements are those of Legacy IronNet and the retained earnings of Legacy IronNet has been carried forward after the Merger. Share numbers and the related earnings (loss) per share calculations for all periods prior to the Merger have been retrospectively adjusted for the equivalent number of shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Merger. Refer to Note 3. Reverse Recapitalization for additional information.

Nature of Operations

IronNet provides a suite of technologies that provide real-time threat assessment and updates, behavioral modeling, big data analytics, and proactive threat detection and response capabilities as well as consulting services and training programs to protect against current and emerging cyber-threats.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned for the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

F-8

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such management estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the period of benefit for deferred commissions, the useful life of property and equipment, stock-based compensation expense, fair value of warrants, and income taxes. If the underlying estimates and assumptions upon which the financial statements are based change in future periods, actual amounts may differ from those included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity

In accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. For the year ended January 31, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $242.6 million, and as of January 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $417.7 million. In addition, during the year ended January 31, 2022, the Company used $83.7 million of cash in operating activities and had cash and cash equivalents of $47.7 million, with no debt outstanding as of the end of the fiscal year. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the Company's commercialization and development efforts, the Company is unable to predict when it will become profitable, and it may never become profitable. The Company's inability to achieve and then maintain profitability would negatively affect its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

As of July 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9,650 and no debt. In February 2022, the Company entered into an equity line with Tumim Stone Capital, LLC ("Tumim") under which the Company may, in its discretion, sell shares of its common stock to Tumim for proceeds of up to $175,000, subject to various conditions and limitations set forth in the purchase agreement with Tumim. Proceeds from sales of common stock under the equity line facility with Tumim may be available to the Company to fund future operations in the absence of any material adverse conditions. Based on the current price of our common stock as of the date of this report, we estimate that we would not be able to raise more than approximately $10,000 in proceeds under the equity line facility before we would need to obtain stockholder approval to issue additional shares.

On September 14, 2022, the Company also entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with 3i LP ("3i"), which is an affiliate of Tumim, pursuant to which the Company issued a senior unsecured convertible promissory note to 3i for gross proceeds to the Company of $10,000. The initial promissory note has a principal balance of $10,300 and will have an 18-month term. Outstanding principal amounts will accrue interest at a rate of 5% per year. Beginning on the first day of the calendar month after 90 days have elapsed from the issuance of the initial promissory note, the Company will be obligated to make 15 monthly installment payments of principal and accrued interest. Subject to conditions and limitations set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, each of the Company and 3i may elect to convert outstanding principal and interest payments into shares of the Company's common stock. Subject to a number of conditions set forth in the securities purchase agreement with 3i, including specified minimum trading prices and trading volumes, and the repayment or conversion of a specified portion of the initial convertible promissory note, the Company may borrow an additional $15,000 from 3i on the same terms and conditions as will be set forth in the initial convertible promissory note.

The timing and extent of spending to support the Company's efforts to market and continue to develop its products in fiscal 2023 has been in excess of forecasted levels and the delayed timing and magnitude of contracts with customers have been below the levels previously anticipated. Based on the Company's current operating plans and after considering the liquidity sources described above, management believes that the Company may not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents and capital resources to support planned operations for at least one year from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to the rate of its growth, its ability to attract and retain customers and their willingness and ability to pay for the Company's products and services, and the timing and extent of spending to support its multiple and ongoing efforts to market and continue to develop its products. Further, the Company may enter into future arrangements to acquire or invest in businesses, products, services, strategic partnerships, and technologies. The proceeds available under the equity line with Tumim and under the convertible note financing with 3i may not be sufficient to fund the Company's operations in which case the Company will be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, the Company may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to it or at all. If additional funds are not available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all, the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations would be adversely affected.

In response to these conditions, the Company plans to continue to focus its activities on serving cybersecurity detection and response efficiencies of large, critical infrastructure companies and enterprises, including an increased focus on critical suppliers in the defense industrial base. The Company believes that significant opportunities exist for the Company to expand in these sectors, both in the United States and allies of the United States abroad. Growing its position in these customer segments would provide for additional cash flows to be generated from the Company's operations. Although the Company has historically been successful in securing and implementing customer contracts, uncertainties exist about the ultimate size of this market and the timing and ability of the Company to continue to secure and to expand opportunities in these customer segments.

In parallel with this increased customer focus, the Company has undertaken efforts to reduce its operating expenses through a personnel reduction of approximately 35% of the workforce and has other planned reductions of expenses that are not closely directed towards these key focus areas. Additionally, the Company is also working to improve its operating margins through modifications to its cloud-based computing architectures with a goal of improving efficiencies. Both actions are underway.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly-liquid instruments readily convertible into known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Account and Loan Receivable

Accounts receivable, including unbilled, are generated from contracts with customers. Management determines the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts by evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer's financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions. Management has evaluated the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts and no amounts were recorded as of January 31, 2022 and 2021.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company's assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. Amounts on deposit in excess of federally insured limits of $250 or accounts not included in federally insured limits at January 31, 2022 approximates $46,695. Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from commercial entities. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant losses related to accounts receivable and, therefore, believes that the credit risk related to accounts receivable is minimal.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. No provisions have been made to reduce slow-moving, obsolete or unusable inventories to their net realizable values for January 31, 2022 and 2021. Substantially all of our inventory is finished goods.

Deferred Costs

The Company amortizes our contract fulfillment costs ratably over the contract term in a manner consistent with the related revenue recognition on that contract and are included in cost of revenue. These costs include appliance hardware and installation costs that are essential in providing the future benefit of the solution.

Deferred Commissions

Sales commissions paid to initially obtain a contract are considered incremental and recoverable costs and are deferred and then amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of benefit determined to be between one and five years, which includes the contractual and expected renewal periods. Incremental sales commissions that may be paid upon the renewal of a contract are also considered incremental and recoverable costs, which are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the renewal period. The Company recognizes the incremental costs to initially obtain a contract with a customer on the consolidated balance sheet if the Company expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. Amortization expense is included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Sales commissions paid upon renewal are substantially lower than the commissions paid to initially obtain the contract and are expensed in the period the contract is renewed. The majority of customer contracts are annual and as a result these renewals commissions are paid on an annual basis.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated over the asset's estimated useful life using the straight-line method. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company has incurred repair and maintenance charges of $12 and $10 for the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization is removed and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations.

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, as follows:

F-10

Deferred Revenue (Contract Liabilities)

Deferred revenue, which is a contract liability, consists of amounts for which we have the unconditional right to bill or advance from customers for which have not yet recognized revenue. We generally bill our customers in advance. To the extent the Company bills customers in advance of the contract commencement date, the accounts receivable and corresponding deferred revenue amounts are netted to zero on the consolidated balance sheets, unless we have the unconditional right to receive the consideration at the time the customer has been invoiced. To the extent the Company has the unconditional right to bill or advance from customers, if the customer has not yet been invoiced, unbilled receivables are established for the amount for which we have the unconditional right to bill, with corresponding deferred revenue established for the portion for which we have not yet recognized revenue.

Foreign Currency Translation

The United States Dollar (USD) is the functional currency of IronNet and our subsidiaries in the United States. Our subsidiaries' financial statements are maintained in their functional currencies, which is the local currency in their country of origin. Our foreign subsidiaries' financial statements are translated into USD. Assets and liabilities are translated into USD using the period-end spot foreign exchange rates. Income and expenses are translated into USD using the weighted-average exchange rates in effect during the period. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. The effects of these translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) included in consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity.

Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenues are derived from sales of products, subscriptions, support and maintenance and other services. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:

We generate revenue from the sales of cloud based subscriptions, managed services and professional services, primarily through our indirect relationships with our partners or direct relationships with end customers through our direct sales force. We account for our contracts with customers in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, regarding Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 ("ASC 606"), and all related interpretations.

Revenue from subscriptions to our cloud-based solutions, which allow customers to use our hosted security software over a contracted period without taking possession of the software and managed services where we provide managed detection and response services for customers, are recognized over the contractual term. The Company's software offering is marketed, sold, and monitored as a single integrated cybersecurity solution, inclusive of software, compute hosting for analytics and sensors which may include hardware, intelligence feeds, and support services. This suite of products and services is a single overall cybersecurity solution that represents one performance obligation.

Professional services, which include incident response, security assessments, and other strategic security consulting services are offered on a time-and-materials basis or through fixed fee arrangements, and we recognize the associated revenue as the services are delivered.

Software Development Costs

The Company's software platform, which has been developed internally, can be provided to customers by utilizing either a software or cloud platform, in which the customer can access the product via the cloud, or software can be downloaded into the customer's environment and may be supported by hardware. In this case, although customers have the ability to download the software into their own environment for purposes of detecting and defending

F-11

against threats, the customer is unable to take possession of the software and run it independently without significant penalty. For that reason, the costs related to the development of the Company's software products and any specifically identifiable upgrades or enhancements qualify for accounting under ASC 350-40 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software. There is no other software developed internally for the purpose of selling or marketing externally that does not require the Company's ongoing involvement.

The Company capitalizes qualifying internal-use software development costs incurred during the application development stage for internal tools and cloud-based applications used to deliver its services, provided that management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the project, it is probable the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post implementation activities are expensed as incurred. Capitalized internal-use software development costs are included in property and equipment and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life once it is ready for its intended use, which has been identified as 3 years for the Company's software products. Amortization of capitalized internal-use software development costs is included within general and administrative expense. As of January 31, 2022, capitalized costs were $2.7 million, net of $86 of amortized cost.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed in the year incurred and relate to new product developments and new features and are primarily personnel related costs and acquired software costs. These costs totaled $52,899 and $25,754 for the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs were $1,789 and $2,631 for the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively and are included in the sales and marketing expenses.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company is subject to income taxes in U.S. federal jurisdictions and various state jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. The Company recognizes tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained upon examination and settlement with various taxing authorities. Liabilities for uncertain tax positions are measured based upon the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods. Management has evaluated the Company's tax positions and has concluded that the Company has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are prioritized into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are observable.

Level 2: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable to the extent that observable inputs are not available for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Warrant Liabilities

Simultaneously with the closing of Legacy LGL's Initial Public Offering, LGL Systems Acquisition Holding Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company purchased an aggregate of 5,200 Private Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $5.2 million from Legacy LGL in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the completion of the Public Offering. Each Private Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at $11.50 per share. The purchase price of the Private Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Public Offering and was held in the Trust Account until the closing of the Merger. The Private Warrants (including the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Warrants) were not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the closing date of the Merger, and they may be exercised on a cashless basis and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers of the Private Warrants or their permitted transferees.

We evaluated the warrants issued by Legacy LGL, our legal predecessor, to purchase its common stock in a private placement concurrently with its initial public offering (the "Private Warrants") under ASC 815-40,Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity, and concluded that they do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders' equity. Specifically, the provisions in the Private Warrant agreement provide for potential changes to the

F-12

settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristics of the warrant holder and because the holder of a warrant is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares, such a provision would preclude the warrant from being classified in equity. Since the Private Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, we recorded these Private Warrants as liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in the consolidated statement of operations at each reporting date. The fair value adjustments were determined by using the listed price of Public Warrants, which are similar instruments with a quoted price in an active market, as described in Note 8. The Private Warrants are deemed equity instruments for income tax purposes, and accordingly, there is no tax accounting related to changes in the fair value of the Private Warrants recognized.

Over the period of September 2021 through October 2021, when the majority of these warrants were exercised on a cashless basis, the formula for such exercises made each Private Warrant effectively exercisable to purchase approximately 0.6 shares of Company common stock on a non-cash basis, each subject to its own exercise calculation applicable to the day on which the exercise was made. The Private Warrants were also redeemable in cash for $11.50 for a share of common stock. No Private Warrants were redeemed on the $11.50 cash basis. In September and October 2021, 5,190 Private Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis into 3,188 shares of Class A common stock. As of January 31, 2022, the Company had 10 Private Warrants outstanding and not exercised. During the period ended January 31, 2022, the Company recognized $11,265 of non-cash expense related to change in fair value of warrants in the consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company recognizes expense for stock-based compensation awards based on the estimated fair value of the award on the date of grant. For stock options, this will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the employee's or director's requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. For restricted stock unit ("RSU") awards, stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a graded basis matched to the length of time and vesting tranches of each grant.

The fair value of stock options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of a valuation model requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs. The Company grants stock options at exercise prices determined equal to the fair value of common stock on the date of the grant. The computation of expected option life is based on an average of the vesting term and the maximum contractual life of the Company's stock options, as the Company does not have sufficient history to use an alternative method to the simplified method to calculate an expected life for employees. The Company estimates an expected forfeiture rate for stock options, which is factored into the determination of stock-based compensation expense. The volatility assumption is based on the historical and implied volatility of the Company's peer group with similar business models. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life assumed at the date of grant. The dividend yield percentage is zero, as the Company does not currently pay dividends nor does the Company intend to do so in the future.

Prior to the Merger, the fair value of each stock RSU was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model based on the same assumptions utilized for calculating fair market value of the stock options and utilizing the as-converted equivalent price of securities issued during the period. In addition to any time or performance-based vesting conditions, the RSU awards granted by the Company prior to the Merger contained an additional vesting requirement that required the occurrence of a liquidity event. As of the closing of the Merger, which represented the satisfaction of the liquidity event vesting requirement for outstanding RSUs, all RSUs issued prior to the completion of the Merger were revalued using the closing share price on that date. In the event that a RSU grant holder is terminated before the award is fully vested, the full amount of the unvested portion of the award will be recognized as a forfeiture in the period of termination.

Common Stock

We have 500,000 shares of voting common stock authorized for issuance. As of January 31, 2022, a total of 88,876 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, with 20,128 held for future exercise of outstanding RSUs, 1,317 held for future exercise of stock options, 9,803 shares available for grant under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, 8,596 shares reserved for public warrant conversion, and approximately 10 shares reserved for private warrant conversion.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, EGCs can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with certain new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an EGC or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our consolidated financial statements may or may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public companies' effective dates.

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in Fiscal 2022

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which modifies and eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740, Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 was adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The prospective adoption of ASU 2019-12 was not material.

F-13

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and of Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. ASU 2018-15 was adopted in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The prospective adoption of ASU 2018-15 was not material.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

The FASB issued ASU No.2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"), which supersedes the current lease requirements in ASC 840, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and related lease liability for all leases, with a limited exception for short-term leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. Currently, leases are classified as either capital or operating, with any capital leases recognized on the consolidated balance sheets. The reporting of lease-related expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows will be generally consistent with the current guidance. The new lease guidance will be effective the earlier of the year ending January 31, 2023 or the time at which we no longer qualify as an EGC and will be applied using a modified retrospective transition method to either the beginning of the earliest period presented or the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new standard. The adoption of this standard will require the recognition of a right of use asset and liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326). This standard requires a new method for recognizing credit losses that is referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") method. The CECL method requires the recognition of all losses expected over the life of a financial instrument upon origination or purchase of the instrument, unless the Company elects to recognize such instruments at fair value with changes in profit and loss (the fair value option). This standard is effective for the Company for the earlier of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 or the time at which we no longer qualify as an EGC. Management does not expect the impact of adopting this standard to be material.

2. Revenue

Software, subscription and support revenue

The Company sells a collective defense software solution that provides a near real time collective defense infrastructure that is comprised of two product offerings, IronDefense and IronDome. The software platform is delivered through both on-premises licenses bundled with on-premises hardware and through subscription software.

Our security appliance deliverables include proprietary operating system software and hardware together with regular threat intelligence updates and support, maintenance, and warranty. We combine intelligence dependent hardware and software licenses with the related threat intelligence and support and maintenance as a single performance obligation, as it delivers the essential functionality of our cybersecurity solution. As a result, we recognize revenue for this single performance obligation ratably over the expected term with the customer. Significant judgement is required for the assessment of material rights relating to renewal options associated with our contracts.

Revenue from subscriptions, which allow customers to use our security software over a contracted period without taking possession of the software, and managed services, where we provide managed detection and response services for customers, is recognized over the contractual term. The cloud-based subscription revenue, where we also provide hosting, recognized for the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 was $15,960 and $10,062, respectively. Overall software, subscription, and support revenue recognized for the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, was $25,347 and $24,701, respectively.

Professional services revenue

The Company sells professional services, including cyber operations monitoring, security, training and tailored maturity assessments. Revenue derived from these services is recognized as the services are delivered. Revenue recognized from professional services for the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 was $2,197 and $4,526, respectively.

Customer concentration

For the year ended January 31, 2022, six customers accounted for 51%, or $13,975, with two of those customers accounting for 21%, of the Company's revenue, and for the year ended January 31, 2021, six customers accounted for 46%, or $13,381, with one of those customers accounting for 10%, of the Company's revenue. As of January 31, 2022, and January 31, 2021, two and three customers represent 49% and 85% of the total accounts receivable balance, respectively.

Significant customers are those which represent at least 10% of the Company's total revenue at each respective period ending date. The following table presents customers that represent 10% or more of the Company's total revenue:

The Company defers contract fulfillment costs that includes appliance hardware. The balances in deferred costs are as follows:

The balance of deferred commissions at January 31, 2022 and 2021 were $1,238 and $1,319, respectively. Deferred commissions are included in the Deferred costs on the Consolidated Balance Sheets of which $844 is current and $393 is long-term as of January 31, 2022.

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue represents amounts received from and/or billed to customers in excess of revenue recognized. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in deferred revenue or revenue depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2022 and January 31, 2021, the Company recognized revenue of $12,509 and $7,809, respectively, which was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each of the respective periods.

The balance in deferred revenue is as follows:

3. Reverse Recapitalization

As discussed in Note 1., on August 26, 2021, the Company completed the Merger. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into Legacy IronNet, with Legacy IronNet surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Legacy LGL.

F-15

The following table reconciles the elements of the Merger to the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended January 31, 2022:

The number of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company as of January 31, 2022 is summarized as follows:

In connection with the closing of and as a result of the consummation of the Merger, certain members of the Company's management and employees received bonus payments in the aggregate amount of $515. The bonuses have been reflected in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company has incurred transaction costs in connection with the Merger. The transaction costs considered incremental have been expensed as incurred and these amounts, $2,328 for the year ended January 31, 2022, are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. On August 26, 2021, the Company received $13,251 held in Legacy LGL's trust account, net of redemptions. Transaction costs related to the issuance of the trust shares were $9,038, which were recorded in additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet.

The following activity occurred in connection with the consummation of the Merger:

IronNet Class A Common Stock (Legacy IronNet Founders Shares) and Preferred Shares

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Legacy IronNet preferred shares and common stock was converted into Class A common stock in the Combined company based on the Exchange Ratio established as part of the Merger, with each preferred share treated as if it were converted into ten shares of Legacy IronNet common stock on the effective date of the Merger. The Exchange Ratio was 0.8141070 of a share of Company common stock per fully-diluted share of Legacy IronNet common stock.

PIPE Shares

On August 26, 2021, a number of purchasers (each, a "Subscriber") purchased from the Company an aggregate of 12,500 shares of Company common stock (the "PIPE Shares"), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $125,000, pursuant to separate subscription agreements entered into effective as of March 15, 2021 (each, a "Subscription Agreement"). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Company granted certain registration rights to the Subscribers with respect to the PIPE Shares. The sale of the PIPE Shares was consummated concurrently with the closing of the Merger in an amount of $125,000. Transaction costs related with the issuance were $21,179, which were recorded in the consolidated statement of cash flows as a financing activity.

F-16

Founders Shares

Reflects 3,234 shares of Class A common stock (the "Founder Shares") for an aggregate purchase price of $24, or approximately $0.007 per share.

Debt Settlements

Loan and Security Agreement

On June 21, 2021, Legacy IronNet entered into a Loan and Security Agreement ("Term Loan" or "SVB Bridge") with SVB Innovation Credit Fund VIII, L.P. for term loan advances of up to $15,000 to provide for working capital needs over the period leading up to completion of the combination with Legacy LGL. The Term Loan was able to be prepaid at any time and had a term for up to six months, or until the date on which Legacy IronNet completed its combination with Legacy LGL, whichever came sooner, and bore monthly interest at a per annum rate equal to eight percent, as well as customary fees for de-SPAC bridge loans of this nature. As of August 26, 2021, in conjunction with the Merger, the Company repaid the term loan principal and accrued interest in an aggregate amount of $15,609.

PPP loan

On April 21, 2020, Legacy IronNet entered into a Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loan from the US Small Business Administration pursuant to the provision of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security ("CARES") Act, receiving loan funds of $5,580. The loan bore interest at 1% and was payable in monthly installments beginning on September 15, 2021. The unsecured loan was evidenced by a promissory note of the Company with PNC Bank (the "Lender"). On August 26, 2021, in conjunction with the Merger, the Company repaid in full all amounts due and terminated all commitments and obligations under the unsecured PPP loan. As of January 31, 2021, Legacy IronNet had an interest accrual of $44 related to the PPP loan.

Loans to Employees

On December 29, 2018, Legacy IronNet entered into a loan with a current executive of the Company with a principal balance of $1,000 bearing an interest rate of 2.76% for a term of three years, which was secured by a pledge of certain shares of Legacy IronNet Class A common stock. As of August 26, 2021, in conjunction with the merger, the Company resolved the loan by having the executive surrender to the Company 108 shares that would have otherwise been issuable to the executive in the Merger.

Earnout Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Eligible Legacy IronNet Equityholders (as defined in the Merger Agreement) had the right to receive up to 1,078 shares (the "Earnout Shares"), to be issued at any time during the two years after of the Closing Date following the occurrence of the triggering event, which is: "…the date, occurring after the Closing Date and on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, on which the volume-weighted average closing sale price of one share of IronNet Stock quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (or such other principal securities exchange or securities market on which the shares of Acquiror Stock are then listed) is equal to or greater than $13.00 for any ten (10) consecutive Trading Days occurring after the Closing Date."

As of the close of trading on September 10, 2021, the requisite conditions of the earnout triggering event were satisfied and the Company issued 1,078 Earnout Shares to the Eligible Legacy IronNet Equityholders.

Legacy IronNet Restricted Stock Units and Stock Options

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each Legacy IronNet RSU and stock option outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, and which based on their terms did not terminate upon the closing of the Merger, remained outstanding. In the case of Legacy IronNet stock options, they were converted based on the number of shares of Legacy IronNet common stock subject to that option, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share equal to the current exercise price per share for that option, divided by the Exchange Ratio. In the case of Legacy IronNet RSUs, they were converted based on the number of shares of Company common stock equal to the number of shares of Legacy IronNet common stock subject to that award, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio.

Under the terms of Legacy IronNet's 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, the vesting of each RSU award was subject to, among other conditions, including a service requirement, the occurrence of a liquidity event, as defined by the Plan. On August 26, 2021, in connection with the close of the Merger with Legacy LGL, the Company's Board of Directors resolved to deem the Merger as satisfying the Liquidity Event condition. The resolution resulted in a modification of the RSUs under ASC 718 "Compensation-Stock Compensation." As a consequence of modification of the awards outstanding, the Company recognized a non-cash expense in an amount of $169,360 during fiscal year 2022 related to 15,780 RSUs that remained outstanding as of January 31, 2022 under the 2014 Plan.

4. Prepaid Expenses

The increase in prepaid expenses in the current year primarily relates to $3.2 million in directors and officers insurance purchased in August 2021, of which $1.8 million makes up the balance of prepaid expenses at January 31, 2022.

F-17

5. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consists of the following at January 31:

Depreciation and amortization expense on property and equipment was $1,092 and $1,162 for the years ended January 31, 2022 and January 31, 2021, respectively.

6. Stock Incentive Plans

Legacy IronNet's Board of Directors adopted and the stockholders approved Legacy IronNet's 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan") on September 29, 2014 and on October 17, 2014, respectively. The 2014 Plan was periodically amended, most recently on June 7, 2019. The 2014 Plan permitted the grant of incentive stock options "ISOs," non-qualified stock options "NSOs," stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units "RSUs," and other stock-based awards. ISOs were only able to be granted to Legacy IronNet's employees and to any of the employees of Legacy IronNet's subsidiary corporations' employees. All other awards could be granted to employees, directors and consultants of Legacy IronNet's and to any of Legacy IronNet's parent or subsidiary corporation's employees or consultants. As of August 26, 2021, the closing date of the Merger, no additional awards will be granted under the 2014 Plan. The terms of the 2014 Plan will continue to govern the terms of outstanding equity awards that were granted prior to the closing date.

On August 26, 2021, per the Merger Agreement, the outstanding Legacy IronNet ISO and RSU grants issued under the 2014 Plan were converted to their post-transaction equivalents based on the conversion ratio, totaling 18,972 shares in the Combined Company when exercised or converted.

The 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2021 Plan") was approved by Legacy LGL's stockholders on August 26, 2021. Under the 2021 Plan, the Company may grant ISOs, RSUs and other equity securities to acquire, to convert into, or to receive up to 13,500 shares of Class A common stock. As of January 31, 2022, 9,803 share equivalents remained available to issue under the 2021 Plan.

All share equivalents issued or issuable under the 2014 Plan and the 2021 Plan (together, the "Stock Incentive Plans") normally vest over a forty-eight month period, some of which have a first year cliff vest for the first 25% of their vesting, during which time no vesting occurs. In limited cases, vesting as short as twelve months with no cliff, vesting based on performance criteria and acceleration under certain events have also been permitted; however, such exceptions apply to less than 20% of the share equivalents authorized under the Stock Incentive Plans.

Stock Options

The exercise price of each ISO granted under the Stock Incentive Plans may not be less than the fair market value per share of the underlying Class A common stock on the date of grant. The Board of Directors establishes the term and the vesting of all options issued under the Stock Incentive Plans; however, in no event will the term exceed ten years.

Presented below is a summary of the status of the stock options under the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, as no stock options have been granted under the 2021 Plan:

F-18

For the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded $43 and ($6) of compensation cost related to stock options, respectively. There were no options granted during the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021. The total fair value of shares vested, net of forfeitures, was $2,062 and $1,672 for the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Stock compensation expense for ISOs is recognized on a straight-line basis and with a provision for forfeitures matched to historical experience for matured grant cohorts. At January 31, 2022, total unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to unvested stock options was not significant. The weighted-average remaining vesting period of unvested stock options at January 31, 2022 was 4.9 years.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of options granted. The Black-Scholes model takes into account the fair value of an ordinary share and the contractual and expected term of the stock option, expected volatility, dividend yield, and risk-free interest rate. Prior to becoming a public company, the fair value of the Company's common stock was determined utilizing an external third-party pricing specialist.

The contractual term of the option ranges from the one to ten years. Expected volatility is the average volatility over the expected terms of comparable public entities from the same or similar industry as a substitute for the historical volatility of the Company's common shares, which is not determinable without an active external or internal market. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company has not historically distributed dividends and does not expect to distribute any dividends.

Restricted Stock Units

In addition to the applicable time or performance-based vesting criteria noted above, the RSUs granted under the 2014 Plan contained an additional vesting requirement that also required the occurrence of a liquidity event. On the date of the Merger, the Board of Directors resolved that the Merger constituted a liquidity event, which triggered the liquidity event criteria for vesting. As detailed in Note 3, in connection with the close of the Merger with Legacy LGL, the Company recognized a non-cash expense for awards issued under the 2014 Plan in an amount of $155,518 during fiscal year 2022.

Presented below is a summary of the status of outstanding RSUs, including showing the vesting status based on time and performance-based criteria, other than the liquidity event condition:

As of January 31, 2022, there are 20,128 RSUs outstanding, which is comprised of 3,697 RSUs with only service conditions, 1,303 RSUs with only performance conditions, and 15,128 RSUs with both service conditions and performance conditions. Of the outstanding RSUs, 651 shares with only performance conditions have vested and 9,167 RSUs with both service conditions and performance conditions have vested as of January 31, 2022.

As the closing of the Merger represented the satisfaction of the liquidity event vesting requirement for outstanding RSUs, and vesting was not probable until that time, all RSUs issued prior to the completion of the Merger were re-valued at the date of the Merger using the closing share price on that date. All RSUs were assigned a fair value of $12.85. Subsequent to the closing of the Merger, the fair value of RSUs is based on the fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant or any further modification.

Stock compensation expense for RSUs granted under the 2014 Plan, which contain both service and performance conditions, is recognized on a graded-scale basis, recognizing expense over the respective vesting period for each tranche of shares under each award granted. Stock compensation expense for RSUs granted under the 2021 Plan have only service vesting conditions. Expense will be recognized on a straight-line basis for all RSU awards with only service conditions. In the event that a RSU grant holder is terminated before the award is fully vested for RSUs granted under either Plan, the full amount of the unvested portion of the award will be recognized as a forfeiture in the period of termination.

F-19

We recognized a total stock-based compensation expense, net of actual forfeitures, of $156,560 during the year ended January 31, 2022. $155,518 of this balance is associated with RSUs on a graded vesting schedule and $1,042 is associated with RSUs on a straight-line vesting schedule. As no RSUs vested until the occurrence of the liquidity event, which occurred on August 26, 2021, no stock-based compensation was recognized associated with RSUs in the year ended January 31, 2021.

As of January 31, 2022, there was approximately $46,568 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs without performance obligations. The weighted-average remaining vesting period was 2.68 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In August 2021, Legacy LGL's Board of Directors adopted, and its stockholders approved, the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"). The ESPP became effective immediately upon the closing of the Merger, and authorizes the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to purchase rights granted to our employees.

The purpose of the ESPP is to provide a means by which our eligible employees and certain designated companies may be given an opportunity to purchase shares of our common stock, to assist us in retaining the services of eligible employees, to secure and retain the services of new employees and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for our success. The Plan includes two components: a 423 Component and a Non-423 Component. We intend that the 423 Component will qualify as options issued under an "employee stock purchase plan" as that term is defined in Section 423(b) of the Code. Except as otherwise provided in the ESPP or determined by our board of directors, the Non-423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the 423 Component.

The price at which the common stock is purchased under the ESPP is equal to 85% of the fair market value of our common stock on the offering date or the purchase date, whichever is lower. Offerings, which are granted by the board of directors, will consist of one or more purchase periods and will not exceed a period of more than 27 months beginning on the offering date. The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance automatically increase on February 1 of each year, by an amount that is the lesser of 1% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on January 31 of the preceding year, and 2 million shares, as determined by our board of directors. As of January 31, 2022, 2.7 million shares may be issued under the plan, and there have been no purchases of shares for any eligible employee.

7. Stockholders' Equity

Common Stock

As of January 31, 2022, the Company had 500,000 shares of Class A common stock authorized and 88,876 shares common stock issued and outstanding at $0.0001 par value per share.

Each share of Common Stock has 1 vote.

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 100,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company's board of directors. At January 31, 2022, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Public Warrants

On November 12, 2019, Legacy LGL sold 17,250 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the "Units") in its Initial Public Offering, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 2,250 units. Each Unit consisted of one share of Legacy LGL Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-half of one warrant to purchase one share of Legacy LGL Class A common stock (the "Public Warrants").

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares at a price of $11.50 per share. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants became exercisable in September 2021 and will expire five years after the completion of the Merger or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Once the warrants became exercisable upon the effective date of the Company's S-1 registration statement filed in September 2021, the Company obtained the ability to redeem the Public Warrants:

F-20

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a "cashless basis," as described in the Warrant Agreement.

In connection with the Merger, the Public Warrants were recorded within equity at a fair value of $15,740. The fair value of the Public Warrants issued by the Company was determined using the quoted price. In October 2021, 29 Public Warrants were exercised in an amount of $330 and 29 shares were issued at a price of $11.50. As of January 31, 2022, the Company had 8,596 Public Warrants outstanding and not exercised.

8. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The Company has assessed that the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities. The Company has also assessed the fair value of the Private Warrants due to the conclusion that they should be recorded as liabilities measured at fair value.

The Company's Private Warrants have similar terms and are subject to substantially the same redemption features as the Public Warrants, as the transfer of a Private Warrant to anyone who is not a permitted transferee would result in the Private Warrant being converted to a Public Warrant. The Company determined that the fair value of each Private Warrant is equivalent to that of a Public Warrant. There were observable transactions in the Company's Public Warrants during the year ended January 31, 2022 and the Public Warrants had adequate trading volume between independent investors on the public market to provide a reliable indication of value. As of January 31, 2022, the fair value of the Private Warrants was equal to that of the Public Warrants as they had substantially the same terms. However, as they are not actively traded, they are listed as a Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy table below. Changes in the fair value of the Private Warrants at each reporting period end date were recognized within the accompanying consolidated statement of operations in the change in fair value of warrant liabilities.

The carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and liabilities, which are either Level 1 or Level 2 instruments, are as follows:

The Company recognized a non-cash expense of $11,265 related to the change in fair value of warrants during the period ended January 31, 2022.

9. Income Taxes

The components of the provision for income taxes are comprised of the following for the years ended January 31:

For the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, the foreign income (loss) before provision for income tax was $1,774 and $660, respectively. For the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, the domestic loss before provision for income tax was ($243,956) and ($55,956), respectively.

Indefinite reinvestment is determined by management's judgment about and intentions concerning the future operations of the Company. As part of our business strategies, we have determined that all earnings from our foreign continuing operations will be deemed indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States. Our plans to indefinitely reinvest certain earnings are supported by projected working capital and long-term capital requirements in each foreign subsidiary location in which the earnings are generated.

F-21

A reconciliation of income tax expense at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to annual income tax expense at the Company's effective tax rate is as follows:

Income tax expense was ($0.5) million and ($0.1) million for the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate for the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 was 0.1% and 0.1%, respectively.

Deferred Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases, as well as from net operating loss and carryforwards.

Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and (liabilities) are as follows:

Income Tax Valuation Allowance

The following summarizes changes to valuation and qualifying accounts for fiscal year 2022 and fiscal year 2021 (in thousands):

As of January 31, 2022 and January 31, 2021, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) available to offset federal taxable income of approximately $324,787 and $154,566 respectively. $25,270 of the federal NOLs expire on various dates through 2037 and $299,517 are able to be carried forward indefinitely to offset 80% of future taxable income. The company has tax effected state NOL carryforwards of approximately $13,749 as of January 31, 2022 and $6,223 as of January 31, 2021 that expire on various dates through 2037.

In accordance with IRC Section 382, the extent to which net operating loss carryforwards can be used to offset future taxable income may be limited, depending on the extent of any ownership changes as defined by federal and various state and local jurisdictions. These limitations may result in the expiration of net operating loss carry forwards before utilization.

F-22

In assessing the realizability of our net deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will be recognized. The ultimate realization of the net deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible. Management considers taxes paid, if any, scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies that can be implemented by the Company in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income, scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, and projections for taxable income over the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible based on available tax planning strategies, management presently believes it is more likely than not that the Company may not realize all of the benefits of these deductible differences and, accordingly, has established a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets at January 31, 2022 and 2021.

The Company recognizes a tax position taken or expected to be taken (and any associated interest and penalties) if it is more likely than not that it will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax position at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Management evaluated all income tax positions and determined that there were no uncertain tax positions that required reserves as of January 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company files tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and in many state jurisdictions. The tax years 2017 through 2021 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the company is subject. No examinations are currently open.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security ("CARES") Act was enacted and signed into U.S. law to provide economic relief to individuals and businesses facing economic hardship as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Changes in tax laws or rates are accounted for in the period of enactment. The income tax provisions of the CARES Act do not have a significant impact on our current taxes, deferred taxes, or uncertain tax positions.

10. Accrued Expenses

The balance in accrued expenses at January 31, 2022 includes $1.1 million in cash received from a customer in January 2022, which was due to be remitted to a third party as a part of a factoring arrangement that is in place. This payment was due from the customer directly to the third party, and will be remitted to the third party. The balance also includes $722 in sales tax payable, primarily consisting of an accrual for remaining obligations combined with potential interest and penalties related to the results of a sales tax nexus review. The Company is in process of resolving these liabilities with the respective state jurisdictions.

11. COVID-19 - CARES Act Provision

During fiscal 2021, in response to the increased economic uncertainties that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was expected to have on our business, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources, Legacy IronNet took measures to ensure that we could continue the continuity of our business operations through the use of funding measures which included the PPP loan from the US Small Business Administration pursuant to the CARES Act. The purpose of the loan was for small businesses to keep their workforces employed through the pandemic. Legacy IronNet received loan funds of $5,580 on April 21, 2020. The loan bore interest at 1% and was payable in monthly installments beginning on September 15, 2021. The unsecured loan was evidenced by a promissory note of Legacy IronNet with PNC Bank (the "Lender"). As detailed in Note 3, on August 26, 2021, in conjunction with the Merger, the Company repaid in full all amounts due and terminated all commitments and obligations under the unsecured PPP loan. As of January 31, 2021, the Company had an interest accrual of $44 related to the PPP loan.

In addition to seeking and receiving the PPP loan under the CARES Act, Legacy IronNet also elected to defer the Company portion of payroll taxes under the CARES Act. Half of the deferred payroll tax from March 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 was paid on December 31, 2021, with the remaining 50% due on December 31, 2022. The balance of the payroll tax deferral is $689 as of January 31, 2022 and is included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company and our subsidiary may become defendants in certain shareholder claims and other litigation. The Company records a liability when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable. To date, no such liability has been recorded.

Leases

The Company leases office space under the terms of noncancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through November 2026. Certain operating lease agreements provide for an annual 2.75% escalation of the base rent. The Company is also responsible for operating expenses. The following is a schedule by year of the future minimum lease payments required under the Company's operating leases:

F-23

The Company is recognizing the total cost of our office leases ratably over the respective lease periods. The difference between rent paid and rent expense is reflected as deferred rent in the accompanying balance sheets.

Rent expense totaled $1,462 and $1,984 for the years ended January 31, 2022, and January 31, 2021, respectively, which is recognized in the general and administrative line item in the consolidated statement of operations.

In the second fiscal quarter of 2021, we completed lease buyouts of two office spaces in Maryland, for leases that were expiring in fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022, and made payments of $394 to facilitate early terminations for those leases. We also decreased our lease portfolio in Japan and New York as a result of the Company moving to a more fully remote posture.

13. Earnings (Loss) per Share

The Company computes basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to basic net earnings per shares, except that it reflects the effect of potential shares that would be issued if stock option awards, Restricted Stock Units, Public and Private Warrants and preferred shares, to the extent issued, were converted into common stock, to the extent dilutive.

The following table summarizes the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders:

Earnings per share calculations for the period prior to the Merger has been retrospectively restated to the equivalent number of shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the reverse recapitalization. Subsequent to the Transactions, earnings per share will be calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock then outstanding.

Since the Company was in a net loss position for all periods presented, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders will be the same as the basic net loss per share, as, in a net loss position, the inclusion of all potential common shares outstanding would be antidilutive. The potential shares of common stock excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented due to their antidilutive impacts are as follows:

As of January 31, 2021 there were no Private or Public Warrants outstanding due to the fact that the Legacy LGL consolidated balance sheet was consolidated and combined with Legacy IronNet as of the effective date of the Merger. Legacy LGL Public and Private Warrants as of August 26, 2021 were 8,625 and 5,200, respectively.

14. Related Party Transactions

Product, subscription and support revenue from Related Parties

Certain investors and companies who the Company is affiliated with purchased software, subscription and support revenue during the periods presented. The Company recognized $1,744 and $1,860 of revenue from contracts with related parties for the years ending January 31, 2022, and January 31, 2021, respectively. The corresponding receivable was $3,233 and $2,541 as of January 31, 2022, and January 31, 2021, respectively. The Company also had an outstanding receivable from employees of $1,058 as of January 31, 2021, which was paid in full during the current year.

Subscription Notes Receivables

As of January 31, 2021, the Company held $835 of subscription notes receivable related to shares of common stock in Legacy IronNet that were issued to certain employees in exchange for promissory notes, which were determined to be recourse loans. During the years ended January 31, 2022 and January 31, 2021, the Company received repayments of balances due of $843 and $81, respectively. As of January 31, 2022, there are no remaining balances for subscription notes receivables. The subscription notes receivables' accrued interest ranged from 1.40% to 2.70%, compounded annually. Interest earned on the subscription notes receivable for the years ended January 31, 2022 and January 31, 2021 was $8 and $16, respectively.

15. Retirement Plans

We provide a retirement savings plan for the benefit of our employees, including our named executive officers. The plan is intended to qualify as a tax-qualified 401(k) plan so that contributions, and income earned on such contributions, are not taxable to participants until withdrawn or distributed from the plan (except in the case of contributions under the 401(k) plan designated as Roth contributions). The 401(k) plan provides that each participant may contribute up to an annual statutory limit. Participants who are at least 50 years old can also contribute additional amounts based on statutory limits for "catch-up" contributions. Under the plan, each employee is fully vested in his or her deferred salary contributions. Employee contributions are held and invested by the plan's trustee as directed by participants. We also fully match employee contributions up to the first 4% of salary, which amounts are fully vested.

16. Segment and Geographic Information

The Company determines our operating segments based on ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for the purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company operates as one operating segment.

The following table presents revenue by geographic location:

Substantially all of the Company's long-lived assets are located in the United States.

17. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated our January 31, 2022 financial statements for subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.

Restricted Stock Units

Following the end of fiscal year 2022, the Compensation Committee approved the issuance of grants of 6,910 Restricted Stock Units under the terms of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, which consists of 766 RSUs granted on February 2, 2022 with a fair value of $3.15 per share, 1,690 RSUs granted on March 9, 2022 with a fair value of $4.64 per share, 4,000 RSUs granted on March 15, 2022 with a fair value of $3.71 per share, and 453 RSUs granted on April 21, 2022 with a fair value of $2.89 per share. All of the awards granted have terms consistent with the terms of the awards granted under the 2021 plan during fiscal year 2022.

Evergreen Increases

Under the terms of the 2021 Plan, the number of shares and share equivalents that can be issued under the plan increased on February 1, 2022 by 4,934 shares, an amount equal to 5.0% of the sum of (a) the total number of shares of the Registrant's common stock outstanding on January 31st of the immediately preceding fiscal year, plus (b) the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan as of January 31st of the immediately preceding fiscal year, but which have not yet been issued. Inclusive of the prior limit of 13.5 million shares, the new limit following the increase was 18.4 million shares, of which 7.6 million remain ungranted.

Under the terms of the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"), the number of shares and share equivalents that can be issued under the plan increased on February 1, 2022 by 889 shares, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 1% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on January 31st of the preceding fiscal year, and (ii) 2,000 shares of Common Stock. There were 88,876 shares of the Company that were outstanding as of January 31, 2022. Inclusive of the prior limit of 2.7 million shares, the new limit following the increase was 3,589 shares, of which all remain available.

Tumim Stone Capital Committed Equity Financing

As reported in the Form S-1 filed on March 10, 2022 (the "Prospectus"), on February 11, 2022, the Company entered into the Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Tumim Stone Capital, LLC ("Tumim"), pursuant to which Tumim has committed to purchase up to $175 million of common stock (the "Total Commitment"), at the Company's direction from time to time, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in the

F-25

Purchase Agreement. Also on February 11, 2022, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with Tumim (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company filed with the SEC the registration statement that included the Prospectus to register for resale under the Securities Act (the "ELOC Registration Statement"), the shares of common stock that may be issued to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, at the time the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement were signed, the Company paid a cash fee of $1,750,000, or 1% of the Total Commitment, to Tumim as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of the Company's common stock under the Purchase Agreement.

As further described in the ELOC Registration Statement, the sales of common stock by IronNet to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement, if any, will be subject to certain limitations and may occur, from time to time at the Company's sole discretion, over the approximately 36-month period commencing upon the initial satisfaction of all conditions to Tumim's purchase obligations set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the "Commencement," and the date on which the Commencement occurs, the "Commencement Date"), including that the registration statement that includes the Prospectus covering the resale by Tumim of shares of common stock that have been and may be issued under the Purchase Agreement is declared effective by the SEC. The SEC declared the ELOC Registration Statement effective on March 17, 2022.

From and after the Commencement Date, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its sole discretion, to direct Tumim to purchase certain amounts of our common stock, subject to certain limitations in the Purchase Agreement, that it specifies in purchase notices that will be delivered to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement (each such purchase, a "Purchase"). Shares of common stock will be issued from the Company to Tumim at either a (i) 3% discount to the average daily volume weighted average price (the "VWAP") of the common stock during the three consecutive trading days from the date that a purchase notice with respect to a particular purchase (a "VWAP Purchase Notice") is delivered from the Company to Tumim (a "Forward VWAP Purchase"), or (ii) 5% discount to the lowest daily VWAP during the three consecutive trading days from the date that a VWAP Purchase Notice with respect to a particular purchase is delivered from the Company to Tumim (an "Alternative VWAP Purchase"). There is no upper limit on the price per share that Tumim could be obligated to pay for the common stock under the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price per share of common stock to be sold in a Purchase will be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction.

Tumim has no right to require the Company to sell any shares of common stock to Tumim, but Tumim is obligated to make purchases as directed by the Company, subject to the satisfaction of conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement at Commencement and thereafter at each time that the Company may direct Tumim to purchase shares of its common stock under the Purchase Agreement.

Although the Purchase Agreement provides that the Company may sell up to $175 million of its common stock to Tumim, only 48,503 shares of common stock have been registered for resale, which represents shares of common stock that may be issued to Tumim from and after the Commencement Date, if and when the Company elects to sell shares to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement. Depending on the market prices of common stock at the time the Company elects to issue and sell shares to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement, additional shares of common stock may need to be registered for resale under the Securities Act in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to the $175,000,000 Total Commitment available under the Purchase Agreement. If all of the 48,503 shares offered by Tumim for resale under the ELOC Registration Statement were issued and outstanding (without taking into account the 19.99% Exchange Cap limitation), such shares would represent approximately 34% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding and approximately 47% of the total number of outstanding shares held by non-affiliates. If the Company elects to issue and sell more than 48,503 shares to Tumim, which the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to do, any such additional shares must first be registered for resale under the Securities Act, which could cause additional substantial dilution to Company stockholders. The number of shares ultimately offered for resale by Tumim is dependent upon the number of shares the Company may elect to sell to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement from and after the Commencement Date.

The net proceeds under the Purchase Agreement will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sell shares of its stock to Tumim. It is expected that any proceeds received from such sales to Tumim will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Securities Litigation

On April 22, 2022, a federal securities class action lawsuit, captioned Grad v. IronNet, Inc., et al., No. 1:22-cv-004499 (E.D. Va.), was filed by our purported stockholder in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia on behalf of a proposed class consisting of those who acquired our securities between September 15, 2021 and December 20, 2021. The complaint names us, our co-CEOs, and our CFO as defendants and asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for alleged misrepresentations and/or omissions in a September 14, 2021 press release regarding our business and financial prospects, our ability to predict the timing of significant customer opportunities, and our disclosure controls and procedures. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages on behalf of the putative class and an award of costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees. We believe the claims are without merit, intend to defend the case vigorously, and have not recorded a liability related to this lawsuit because, at this time, we are unable to estimate reasonably possible losses or determine whether an unfavorable outcome is probable.
