PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY
 
This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information that you should consider before investing in our securities.

Overview
 
Novume provides high-value solutions for its clients by integrating technology and human capital with a focus on artificial intelligence (“AI”). An example is the recent launch of our Argos line of products which incorporate AI using OpenALPR Technology, Inc. software. The markets we serve include:
 
Federal, state and local governments;
Aviation and aerospace;
Education; and
Law enforcement
 
We have also identified additional opportunities where AI can enhance our service offerings, such as school safety programs. In addition, we are developing solutions to help our clients identify opportunities in the government contracting market more efficiently through the use of AI.
 
We believe that the introduction of these new offerings, which are designed to generate recurring revenue, will provide growth opportunities for us.
 
Recent Developments
 
On September 17, 2018, we entered into a Letter of Intent with OpenALPR Technology, Inc. (“OpenALPR”) which sets forth the parties’ intent to consummate a transaction pursuant to which the Company will acquire the assets of OpenALPR (see our 8-K we filed with the SEC on September 20, 2018). The consideration for the transaction will be approximately $15 million, comprised of cash, or cash and the Company’s common stock (up to $5,000,000 based on a price per share of $5.00), at the election of OpenALPR. OpenALPR is a privately-held Boston, Massachusetts-based company that provides automated license plate reader (LPR) technology used by both law enforcement and commercial clients. This transaction is subject to closing conditions, including satisfactory completion of due diligence, entry into definitive agreements, and consummation of a financing transaction. We do not intend to use any of the proceeds of this offering for this acquisition.
 
Effective October 16, 2018, we entered into exchange agreements with holders of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 56,000 shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the exchange agreements, we issued to the holders an aggregate of 96,924 shares of common stock in exchange for the return of the warrants to the Company for cancellation.
 
Effective October 23, 2018, we entered into amendment with the holder of one of our outstanding promissory note in the principal amount of $500,000 to extend the maturity date of the promissory note from March 16, 2019 through March 16, 2020. Also, on October 24, 2018, we entered into an amendment with another holder of our outstanding promissory notes in the principal amount of $2,000,000 to extend the maturity date from May 1, 2019 through May 1, 2020. The amendment further provides for the payment of interest through May 1, 2019 if the principal is repaid before May 1, 2019 and for the payment of interest through May 1, 2020 if the principal is repaid after May 1, 2019 and before May 1, 2020.
 
Effective October 29, 2018, our Chief Executive Officer, Robert A. Berman, was appointed as President.

RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. You should consider the “Risk Factors” included in the documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, as well as the other information contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and in the documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Our business, financial condition, cash flow or prospects and results of operations could be materially harmed as a result of these risks. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment
 
Risks Relating to our Business
 
We may be unable to complete our acquisition of the assets of OpenALPR.
 
On September 17, 2018, we entered into a Letter of Intent with OpenALPR which sets forth the parties’ intent to consummate a transaction pursuant to which we will acquire the assets of OpenALPR (see “Recent Developments”). The closing of the acquisition is subject to, among other things, raising additional capital, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we raise additional capital in connection with the acquisition through the sale of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into common stock, our then-stockholders may experience substantial dilution. If we fail to complete the acquisition, our business may be materially harmed.
 
We may be required to redeem our outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
 
The holders of our outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (consisting of 811,514 shares as of October 29, 2018), will have the right to require the Company to redeem their shares, at any time from and after November 8, 2021, at a price of $15.00 per share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends (such accrued but unpaid dividends are equal to an aggregate of $114,908 as of October 29, 2018). (See the Company’s Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock filed as an exhibit to our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 25, 2017). In the event that the market price of our common stock does not exceed the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock at the time of redemption, we will likely be required to redeem the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, capital resources and business prospects.
 
 
S-4
 
 
Our significant debt obligations could impair our liquidity and financial condition. If we default on our secured debt, the lender may foreclose on our assets.
 
As of June 30, 2018, we (through a subsidiary) had $2,012,997 outstanding under our line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“WFB”), secured by one of our subsidiary’s accounts receivable. WFB agreed to advance to this subsidiary, 90% of all eligible accounts with a maximum facility amount of $5,000,000. If we default on this debt, the lender may foreclose on its collateral, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. As of October 29, 2018, $1,051,011 was outstanding under this line of credit.
 
In addition, as of June 30, 2018, we (through a subsidiary) had $854,650 outstanding under an account purchase agreement with WFB, pursuant to which our subsidiary agreed to sell and assign to WFB all of its Accounts (as such term is defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code), constituting accounts arising out of sales of Goods (as such term is defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code) or rendition of services that WFB deems to be eligible for borrowing under the AOC Wells Agreement. WFB agreed to advance to our subsidiary, 90% of all eligible accounts with a maximum facility amount of $3,000,000. A default under this agreement would have a material, adverse effect on our business and operations. As of October 29, 2018, $0 was outstanding under this line of credit.
 
In addition, our debt obligations:
 
could impair our liquidity;
could make it more difficult for us to satisfy our other obligations;
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to payments on our debt obligations, which reduces the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate requirements;
could impede us from obtaining additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate purposes;
impose restrictions on us with respect to the use of our available cash, including in connection with future transactions;
could limit our ability to execute on our acquisition strategy;
make us more vulnerable in the event of a downturn in our business prospects and could limit our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our licensing markets; and
could place us at a competitive disadvantage when compared to our competitors who have less debt.
 
Risks Related to our Common Stock and this Offering
 
Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering, and may not use the proceeds effectively.
 
Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that may not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the price of our common stock to decline.
 
 
S-5
 
 
You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the common stock you purchase.
 
Because the price per share of our common stock sold in this offering is higher than the tangible book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. Based on the public offering price of $0.80 per share, and after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2018 would have been approximately $(2.46) million, or $(0.13) per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of $0.23 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate and substantial dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value of $0.93 per share to new investors who purchase our common stock in the offering. See “Dilution” below for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase our common stock in the offering.
 
You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.
 
In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing our shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering.
 
We are not currently paying dividends and do anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.
 
We have never paid cash dividends on our capital stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. In the event that do not pay dividends, any return derived from our common stock would only come from rise in the market price of our common stock, which may not occur.
 
Our common stock may be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market.
 
We may be unable to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In the event that our common stock were to be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, we expect that it would be traded on the OTCQB or OTCQX, which are unorganized, inter-dealer, over-the-counter markets which provides significantly less liquidity than the Nasdaq Capital Market or other national securities exchanges. In the event that our common stock were to be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, it may have a material adverse effect on the trading and price of our common stock.
 
Our common stock may in the future be deemed a penny stock.
 
In the event that our common stock were to be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, it may be considered a “penny stock.” Securities broker-dealers participating in sales of our common stock would then be subject to the “penny stock” regulations set forth in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
 
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. These statements relate to future events or to our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause differences between our actual results contemplated by our forward-looking statements include, among other things, those discussed under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement.
 
 
S-6
 
 
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “potential” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
 
Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future events or developments. Thus, you should not assume that our silence over time means that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Before deciding to purchase our common stock, you should carefully consider the risk factors incorporated by reference and set forth herein, in addition to the other information set forth in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein.
 
USE OF PROCEEDS
 
We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock that we are offering hereby will be approximately $2.8 million, or approximately $3.2 million if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares to cover over-allotments, in each case, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.
 
As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses of the proceeds from this offering. Pending the use of the net proceeds from this offering as described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds in investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments.
 
DIVIDEND POLICY
 
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Our Series A Preferred Stock and our Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to quarterly dividends as set forth in more detail in the section entitled “Description of Capital Stock” in the accompanying prospectus. We currently anticipate that for the foreseeable future we will retain all of our future earnings, if any, for the development, operation and growth of our business and for general corporate purposes. Any future determination to pay dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

DILUTION
 
If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the public offering price and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering.
 
Our net tangible book value on June 30, 2018 was approximately $(5.2) million, or $(0.36) per share. “Net tangible book value” is total assets minus the sum of liabilities and intangible assets. “Net tangible book value per share” is net tangible book value divided by 14,535,695, which is equal to the total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2018.
 
After giving effect to the sale of common stock in this offering at the public offering price of $0.80 per share, and after deducting estimated offering commissions and expenses payable by us, our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2018 would have been approximately $(2.5) million, or $(0.13) per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.23 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $0.93 per share to investors participating in this offering. The following table illustrates this dilution per share to investors participating in this offering:

The information above assumes that the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option. If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, the pro forma net tangible book value will increase to $(0.10) per share, representing an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.26 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $0.90 per share to investors participating in this offering.
 
The above discussion and tables are based on 14,535,695 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2018 and excludes the following:
 
811,514 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of 502,327 shares of Series A Preferred Stock
 
481,722 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of 240,861 outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock as of June 30, 2018
 
1,064,241 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2018 with a weighted average exercise price of $3.21;
 
1,506,138 shares of common stock underlying options outstanding as of June 30, 2018, with a weighted average exercise price of $2.24, 544,448 of which are exercisable as of June 30, 2018, with a weighted average exercise price of $1.75; and
 
206,250 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants to be issued to the underwriters in this offering.

Over-Allotment Option
 
We have granted a 45-day option to the representative of the underwriters to purchase up to 618,750 additional shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $0.80 per share, solely to cover over-allotments, if any. The underwriters may exercise this option for 45 days from the date of this prospectus solely to cover sales of shares of common stock by the underwriters in excess of the total number of shares of common stock set forth in the table above. If any of these additional shares are purchased, the underwriters will offer the additional shares on the same terms as those on which the shares are being offered at $0.80 per share, solely to cover over-allotments, if any. The underwriters may exercise this option for 45 days from the date of this prospectus solely to cover sales of shares of common stock by the underwriters in excess of the total number of shares of common stock set forth in the table above. If any of these additional shares are purchased, the underwriters will offer the additional shares on the same terms as those on which the shares are being offered.
 
Discounts and Commissions
 
The underwriters propose initially to offer the shares of common stock to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to dealers at those prices less a concession not in excess of $0.032 per share of common stock. If all of the shares of common stock offered by us are not sold at the public offering price, the underwriters may change the offering price and other selling terms by means of a supplement to this prospectus.
 
The following table shows the public offering price, underwriting discounts and commissions and proceeds before expenses to us. The information assumes either no exercise or full exercise of the over-allotment option we granted to the representative of the underwriters.

We have agreed to pay a non-accountable expense allowance to the representative of the underwriters equal to 1% of the gross proceeds received at the closing of the offering. The non-accountable expense allowance of 1% is not payable with respect to the shares sold upon exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. We have paid an expense deposit of $20,000 to the representative, which will be applied against the out-of-pocket accountable expenses that will be paid by us to the underwriters in connection with this offering, and will be reimbursed to us to the extent not actually incurred in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(C).
 
We have also agreed to pay certain of the representative's expenses relating to the offering, including (a) all actual filing fees incurred in connection with the review of this offering by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA; (b) all fees, expenses and disbursements relating to background checks of our officers and directors in an amount not to exceed $7,500 in the aggregate; (c) the fees and expenses of the representative's legal counsel not to exceed $65,000; (d) $11,000 for the underwriters’ use of Ipreo’s book-building, prospectus tracking and compliance software for this offering; and (e) up to $2,500 of the representative's actual accountable road show expenses for the offering.

Our total estimated expenses of the offering, including registration, filing and listing fees, printing fees and legal and accounting expenses, but excluding underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses, are approximately $171,500.
 
Representative's Warrants
 
Upon closing of this offering, we have agreed to issue to the representative as compensation, warrants to purchase 206,250 shares of common stock (5% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock sold in this offering). The representative's warrants will be exercisable at a per share exercise price equal to $1.00, which is 125% of the public offering price per share in this offering (excluding the over-allotment option). The representative's warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the four and one half year period commencing 180 days from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
 
The representative's warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of FINRA. The representative (or permitted assignees under Rule 5110(g)(1)) will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate these warrants or the securities underlying these warrants, nor will they engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the warrants or the underlying securities for a period of 180 days from the effective date of the registration statement. In addition, the warrants provide for registration rights upon request, in certain cases. The demand registration right provided will not be greater than five years from the effective date of the registration statement in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G)(iv). The piggyback registration right provided will not be greater than seven years from the effective date of the registration statement in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G)(v). We will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities issuable on exercise of the warrants other than underwriting commissions incurred and payable by the holders. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrant exercise price or underlying shares will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of common stock at a price below the warrant exercise price.
 
Lock-Up Agreements
 
Pursuant to “lock-up” agreements, we, our executive officers and directors, and certain stockholders, have agreed, without the prior written consent of the representative not to directly or indirectly, offer to sell, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of shares of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the transfer or disposition by any person at any time in the future of) our common stock, enter into any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership of shares of our common stock, make any demand for or exercise any right or cause to be filed a registration statement, including any amendments thereto, with respect to the registration of any shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock or any other securities of ours or publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, subject to customary exceptions, for a period of (i) six month after the date of this prospectus in the case of our directors and officers and (ii) three months after the date of this prospectus in the case of the Company and any successor of the Company and certain stockholders.
 
Right of First Refusal
 
Until fifteen (15) months from the closing date of this offering, the representative and The Benchmark Company will each have an irrevocable right of first refusal, in each of their sole discretions, to act as sole investment banker, sole book-runner, and/or sole placement agent (except in each case as to each other's participation), at the representative's and The Benchmark Company's sole discretion, for each and every future public and private equity and debt offering, including all equity linked financings on terms customary to the representative and The Benchmark Company. The representative and The Benchmark Company will each have the sole right to determine whether or not any other broker-dealer will have the right to participate in any such offering and the economic terms of any such participation. Each of the representative and The Benchmark Company will not have more than one opportunity to waive or terminate the right of first refusal in consideration of any payment or fee.
 
S-11
 
 
Determination of offering price
 
The public offering price of the securities we are offering was negotiated between us and the underwriter based on the trading of our common stock prior to the offering, among other things. Other factors considered in determining the public offering price of the shares include the history and prospects of the Company, the stage of development of our business, our business plans for the future and the extent to which they have been implemented, an assessment of our management, general conditions of the securities markets at the time of the offering and such other factors as were deemed relevant.
 
Listing
 
Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “NVMM”.
 
Other
 
From time to time, certain of the underwriters and/or their affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, various investment banking and other financial services for us for which services they have received and, may in the future receive, customary fees.  In the course of their businesses, the underwriters and their affiliates may actively trade our securities or loans for their own account or for the accounts of customers, and, accordingly, the underwriters and their affiliates may at any time hold long or short positions in such securities or loans. Except for services provided in connection with this offering, no underwriter has provided any investment banking or other financial services to us during the 180-day period preceding the date of this prospectus and we do not expect to retain any underwriter to perform any investment banking or other financial services for at least 90 days after the date of this prospectus.
 
Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids
 
In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our common stock. Specifically, the underwriters may over-allot in connection with this offering by selling more shares than are set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement. This creates a short position in our common stock for its own account. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares of common stock over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of shares of common stock that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares of common stock involved is greater than the number of shares common stock in the over-allotment option. To close out a short position, the underwriters may elect to exercise all or part of the over-allotment option. The underwriters may also elect to stabilize the price of our common stock or reduce any short position by bidding for, and purchasing, common stock in the open market.
 
The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter or dealer repays selling concessions allowed to it for distributing shares of common stock in this offering because the underwriter repurchases the shares of common stock in stabilizing or short covering transactions.
 
Finally, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, shares of our common stock in market making transactions, including “passive” market making transactions as described below.
 
These activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of our common stock at a price that is higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the absence of these activities. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities, and may discontinue any of these activities at any time without notice. These transactions may be effected on the national securities exchange on which our shares of common stock are traded, in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise.
 
S-12
 
 
Indemnification
 
We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against liabilities relating to this offering arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, liabilities arising from breaches of some or all of the representations and warranties contained in the underwriting agreement, and to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make for these liabilities.
 
Electronic Distribution
 
This prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement in electronic format may be made available on websites or through other online services maintained by one or more of the underwriters, or by their affiliates.  Other than this prospectus in electronic format, the information on any underwriter’s website and any information contained in any other website maintained by an underwriter is not part of this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement or the registration statement of which this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement form a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or any underwriter in its capacity as underwriter, and should not be relied upon by investors.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
General
 
Our authorized capital stock consists of 30,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share.
 
As of April 24, 2018, there were outstanding 14,531,697 shares of our common stock, held by approximately 58 stockholders of record, and 1,520,780 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options.
 
Common Stock
 
Dividend Rights
 
Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available if our Board of Directors, in its discretion, determines to issue dividends and then only at the times and in the amounts that our Board of Directors may determine.
 
Voting Rights
 
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting for the election of directors. As a result, the holders of a majority of our voting shares can elect all of the directors then standing for election.
 
No Preemptive or Similar Rights
 
Our common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights, and is not subject to redemption or sinking fund provisions.

Right to Receive Liquidation Distributions
 
Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders would be distributable ratably among the holders of our common stock and any participating preferred stock outstanding at that time, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities and the preferential rights of and the payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of preferred stock.
 
Preferred Stock
 
Pursuant to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, our Board of Directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences, and rights of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations, or restrictions, in each case without further vote or action by our stockholders. Our Board of Directors can also increase or decrease the number of shares of any series of preferred stock, but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding, without any further vote or action by our stockholders. Our Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in our control and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock. We have no current plan to issue any additional shares of preferred stock.
 
Our Board of Directors has designated 505,000 shares of our authorized Preferred Stock as Series A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and 240,861 shares of our authorized Preferred Stock as Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”).

Warrants
 
As of April 24, 2018, we have outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 820,586 shares of our common stock. As of April 24, 2018, we also have outstanding Unit Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 243,655 shares of our common stock.
 
Piggyback Registration Rights
 
The holders of an aggregate of 375,000 shares of our common stock, including 481,722 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our Series B Preferred Stock, or their permitted transferees, will be entitled to rights with respect to the registration of these shares under the Securities Act. These shares are referred to as registrable securities. These rights are provided under the terms of our Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and the holders identified on Schedule I thereto dated as of October 1, 2017, as amended, or RRA, between us and the holders of these registrable securities, providing piggyback registration rights. All fees, costs, and expenses incurred in connection with the registration of registrable securities, including reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel to the selling stockholders will be borne by the Company. If we register any of our securities for public sale, each holder of registrable securities has a right to request the inclusion of any then-outstanding registrable securities held by them on our registration statement. However, this right does not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, a corporate reorganization or stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities. If the underwriters of any underwritten offering determine in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares, the number of shares to be registered will be apportioned, first, to the company for its own account and, second, pro rata among these holders, based on the number of registrable securities held by each holder. The RRA was entered into in connection with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger as of the Agreement Date by and among the Company, Global Technical Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Global Contract Professionals, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Global Technical Services, Inc., a Texas corporation, and Global Contract Professionals, Inc., a Texas corporation. The registration rights terminate on the third anniversary of the RRA.

In connection with that certain Promissory Note issued by the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Brekford Traffic Safety, Inc. on April 3, 2018, the Company granted registration rights to the investor with respect to Thirty-Five (35,000) Thousand shares of common stock of the Company (the "Lender’s Shares"). The Company agreed to include the Lender’s Shares on the next registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the event the Company fails to include the Lender’s Shares on its next selling stockholder registration statement, the Company is obligated to issue an additional 15,000 shares of common stock to the Lender.
 
Anti-Takeover Provisions
 
The provisions of Delaware law, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and our Amended and Restated Bylaws, could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or discouraging another person from acquiring control of our company. These provisions, which are summarized below, may have the effect of discouraging takeover bids. They are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire us because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
 
Delaware Law
 
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, regulating corporate takeovers. In general, DGCL Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date on which the person became an interested stockholder unless:
 
prior to the date of the transaction, the Board of Directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
 
the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder, (1) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
 
at or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66.67% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.
 
Generally, a business combination includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction or series of transactions together resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock. We expect the existence of this provision to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions our board of directors does not approve in advance. We also anticipate that DGCL Section 203 may also discourage attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws
 
Certain anti-takeover provisions have been incorporated into our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, including:
 
the vote of 66 2/3 of the voting power of the corporation entitled to vote at an election of directors is required for the removal of a member of our Board;
 
the vote of 66 2/3 of the voting power of the corporation entitled to vote at an election of directors is required before any of our Bylaws may, at any annual meeting or at any special meeting called for that purpose, be altered, amended, rescinded or repealed; and
 
the request of one or more stockholders holding shares in the aggregate entitled to cast not less than 35% of the vote at a meeting is required to call a stockholder meeting.

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NVMM.”

Sale Through Underwriters or Dealers
 
Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement.
 
If underwriters are used in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account, including through underwriting, purchase, security lending or repurchase agreements with us. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions. Underwriters may sell the securities in order to facilitate transactions in any of our other securities (described in this prospectus or otherwise), including other public or private transactions and short sales. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.
 
If dealers are used in the sale of securities offered through this prospectus, we will sell the securities to them as principals. They may then resell those securities to the public at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. The prospectus supplement will include the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction.

Direct Sales and Sales Through Agents
 
We may sell the securities offered through this prospectus directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. Such securities may also be sold through agents designated from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities and will describe any commissions payable to the agent. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.
 
We may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those securities. The terms of any such sales will be described in the prospectus supplement.
 
Delayed Delivery Contracts
 
If the prospectus supplement indicates, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.
 
Continuous Offering Program
 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we may enter into a continuous offering program equity distribution agreement with a broker-dealer, under which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock from time to time through a broker-dealer as our sales agent. If we enter into such a program, sales of the shares of common stock, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the NASDAQ Capital Market at market prices, block transactions and such other transactions as agreed upon by us and the broker-dealer. Under the terms of such a program, we also may sell shares of common stock to the broker-dealer, as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell shares of common stock to such broker-dealer as principal, we will enter into a separate terms agreement with such broker-dealer, and we will describe this agreement in a separate prospectus supplement or pricing supplement.
 
Market Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions
 
Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, other than our common stock all securities we offer under this prospectus will be a new issue and will have no established trading market. We may elect to list offered securities on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market. Any underwriters that we use in the sale of offered securities may make a market in such securities, but may discontinue such market making at any time without notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the securities will have a liquid trading market.
 
Any underwriter may also engage in stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Rule 104 under the Securities Exchange Act. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security in the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.
 
Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time.
