Services include intelligence analysis, software development, software engineering, program management, strategic and mission planning, information assurance, cybersecurity and policy support, data analytics, and model based systems engineering. These services are applicable to customers in the United States government (&#8220;USG&#8221;), financial services, healthcare, and other users of large data applications. They can be delivered to on-premises enclaves or customers who rely upon cloud-based infrastructures. The Company has worked with multiple business brokers and contacts within their business network to identify potential acquisitions. Due to our success in completing seven acquisitions over the previous five years and given our executive officers&#8217; and key managers&#8217; networks of contacts in the IT, telecom, cybersecurity, and defense sectors, we believe that we are well positioned to continue to execute our business strategy given a pipeline of identified and acquisition targets. Because of our executive officers&#8217; and key managers&#8217; prior experience growing businesses organically, we believe that we are well positioned to grow our existing business via internal growth as well. The Company has developed a qualified business opportunity (the &#8220;Opportunity Pipeline&#8221;). Although there can be no assurance that the Opportunity Pipeline can be converted to revenues, the Company believes that the total value of the Opportunity Pipeline was approximately $738 million as of September 30, 2024. The Opportunity Pipeline represents the revenue opportunity for the Company from potential future contracts obtained through organic growth from qualified customers based on the expected base year contract value plus the value of all option periods.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-indent:18pt"><font style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Our primary customers are agencies and departments of the USG. Our expertise and technology support national security missions and government modernization for intelligence, defense, and federal civilian customers. The demand for our expertise and technology, in large measure, is created by the increasingly complex network, systems, and information environments in which governments and businesses operate, and by the need to stay current with emerging technology while increasing productivity, enhancing security, and ultimately, improving performance.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-indent:18pt"><font style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We provide expertise and technology to enterprise and mission customers in support of national security missions and government modernization&#47;transformation. Due to the nature of the work being executed for the USG the budgets are expected to continue to grow in support of bipartisan national security imperatives. The majority of contracted work is operational in nature and is funded on an on-going basis.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-indent:18pt"><font style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">As a government contractor, Castellum both cooperates (as a teaming partner) and competes with many different companies.

On June 12, 2019, the Company acquired Bayberry Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation (&#8220;Bayberry&#8221; and, as context requires, the &#8220;Bayberry Acquisition&#8221;).

These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks outlined under &#8220;Risk Factors&#8221; or elsewhere in this prospectus, which may cause our or our industry&#8217;s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-indent:18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, that performance or those results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time they are made and&#47;or management&#8217;s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from what is expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-indent:18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made.

Our bylaws provide that we shall advance costs and expenses incurred with respect to any proceeding to which a person is made a party as a result of being a director or officer in advance of final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.
