Pineapple Energy Inc

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Description of Business

Pineapple Energy Inc. (“PEGY”, “Pineapple”, “we”, “our”, “us” or the “Company”) was originally organized as a Minnesota corporation in 1969. On March 28, 2022, the Company completed its previously announced merger transaction with Pineapple Energy LLC (“Pineapple Energy”) in accordance with the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 1, 2021, as amended by an Amendment No. 1 to Merger Agreement dated December 16, 2021 (collectively the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Helios Merger Co., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”), Pineapple Energy LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Lake Street Solar LLC as the Members’ Representative, and Randall D. Sampson as the Shareholders’ Representative, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Pineapple Energy, with Pineapple Energy surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Following the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) the Company changed its name to Pineapple Holdings, Inc. and commenced doing business using the Pineapple name, and subsequently, on April 13, 2022, changed its name to Pineapple Energy Inc.

The Company is a domestic operator and consolidator of residential and commercial solar, battery storage, and grid services solutions. Our strategy is focused on acquiring, integrating, and growing leading local and regional solar, storage, and energy services companies nationwide.

Pineapple today is primarily engaged in the sale, design, and installation of photovoltaic solar energy systems and battery storage systems through its Hawaii-based subsidiary, Hawaii Energy Connection, LLC (“HEC”) and New York-based subsidiaries, the SUNation entities(collectively, “SUNation”). We install systems that provide clean, reliable solar energy typically at savings relative to traditional utility offerings. Our primary customers are residential homeowners. We also provide solar energy systems to commercial owners and other municipal customers.

Through its E-Gear business, Pineapple also develops, manufactures, and sells patented edge-of-grid energy management software and hardware technology, such as energy management control devices. These products allow homeowners to get the most out of their installed photovoltaic solar energy systems and utility grid support benefits. Our primary customers for this technology are energy services companies and other utilities.

On June 30, 2023, the Company divested its legacy operations and operating assets through the sale of substantially all of the assets of its JDL Technologies, Inc. (“JDL”) and Ecessa Corporation (“Ecessa”) businesses. See Note 5, Discontinued Operations. As a result, unless otherwise noted, all information in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q related to the JDL and Ecessa businesses are discussed and presented as discontinued operations and the Company reports its remaining business operations as continuing operations.

Reverse Stock Split

On January 3, 2024, the Company’s shareholders approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio within a range of 1-for-2 and 1-for-15 and granted the Company’s board of directors the discretion to determine the timing and ratio of the split within such range.

On May 28, 2024, the Company’s board of directors determined to effect the reverse stock split of the common stock at a 1-for-15 ratio (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and approved an amendment (“Reverse Stock Split Amendment”) to the Fourth Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company to effect the Reverse Stock Split.

Effective June 12, 2024, the Company amended its Fourth Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to implement the Reverse Stock Split. The Company's common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opened on June 12, 2024 (the "Effective Date").

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, at 12:01 a.m. Central Time on the Effective Date, every 15 shares of common stock then issued and outstanding automatically were combined into one share of common stock, with no change in par value per share. No fractional shares were outstanding following the Reverse Stock Split, and any fractional shares that would have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split were settled in cash. The number of shares of common stock outstanding was reduced from 108,546,773 to 7,235,731, with 720.901 fractional shares paid out in cash totaling $1,132. The total number of shares authorized for issuance was reduced to 7,500,000 in proportion to the Reverse Stock Split ratio.

Effective as of the same time as the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Company's equity compensation plans were automatically reduced in proportion to the Reverse Stock Split ratio. Upon effectiveness, the Reverse Stock Split also resulted in reductions in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or vesting of equity awards in proportion to the Reverse Stock Split ratio and caused a proportionate increase in exercise price or share-based performance criteria, if any, applicable to such awards.

The effects of the Reverse Stock Split have been reflected in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for all periods presented.

Impact of the Reverse Stock Split

The impact of the Reverse Stock Split was applied retroactively for all periods presented in accordance with applicable guidance. Therefore, prior period amounts are different than those previously reported.

The following table illustrates changes in common stock (in number of shares and dollar amount) and additional paid-in-capital, as previously reported prior to, and as adjusted subsequent to, the impact of the Reverse Stock Split retroactively adjusted for the periods presented:

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 1, 2024. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited balance sheet at December 31, 2023 contained in the above-referenced Form 10-K. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year.

PIPE Transaction

On March 28, 2022, following the Closing, the Company closed on a $32.0 million private investment in public entity (“PIPE”) transaction pursuant to a securities purchase agreement. Under the terms of the securities purchase agreement, for their $32.0 million investment, the PIPE Investors received shares of newly authorized CSI Series A convertible preferred stock convertible at a price of $204.00 per share ($13.60 prior to the Reverse Stock Split) into the Company’s common stock, together with warrants to purchase an additional $32.0 million of common shares at that same price. The Company used the proceeds from the PIPE to fund the cash portion of an asset acquisition, to repay $4.5 million ($5.6 million including five-year interest) of Pineapple Energy’s $7.5 million term loan from Hercules Capital, Inc., to pay for transaction expenses, and for working capital to support Pineapple Energy’s growth strategy of acquiring leading local and regional solar installers around the United States.

Registered Direct Offering

On February 5, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors for the sale by the Company of 180,180 shares(2,702,703 prior to the Reverse Stock Split) of the Company’s common stock in a registered direct offering. The purchasers in this offering purchased, and the Company sold, the shares at a purchase price per share of $5.55 ($0.37 prior to the Reverse Stock Split). The sale closed on February 7, 2024 for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.0 million, before deducting the placement agent fees and related offering expenses.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company uses estimates based on the best information available in recording transactions and balances resulting from operations. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The Company’s estimates consist principally of allowances for credit losses, revenue recognition on commercial projects based on percentage of completion, asset impairment evaluations, accruals for compensation plans, lower of cost or market inventory adjustments, the fair value of warrant liabilities, the fair value of the contingent value rights and contingent consideration, provisions for income taxes and deferred taxes, depreciable lives of fixed assets, and amortizable lives of intangible assets.

Cash, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company may invest in short-term money market funds that are not considered to be bank deposits and are not insured or guaranteed by the federal deposit insurance company (“FDIC”) or other government agency. These money market funds seek to preserve the value of the investment at $1.00 per share; however, it is possible to lose money investing in these funds. Total cash equivalents invested in short-term money market funds was $1,225,988 and $1,799,357 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The $1.1 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 are funds that can only be used to support the legacy CSI business, and will be distributed to holders of the Company’s contingent value rights (“CVRs”) and cannot be used to support the working capital needs of the Pineapple Energy business.

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable are recorded at their net realizable value and are not collateralized. Accounts receivable include amounts earned less payments received and allowances for credit losses. Management continually monitors and adjusts its allowances associated with the Company’s receivables to address any credit risks associated with the accounts receivable and periodically writes off receivables when collection is not considered probable. The Company does not charge interest on past due accounts. When uncertainty exists as to the collection of receivables, the Company records an allowance for credit losses and a corresponding charge to credit loss expense.

Inventories, Net

Inventories, which consist primarily of materials and supplies used in the installation of solar systems, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with costs computed on a weighted average cost basis. The Company periodically reviews its inventories for excess and obsolete items and adjusts carrying costs to estimated net realizable values when they are determined to be less than cost. The inventory reserve was $221,982 and $126,990 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations and additions or improvements are capitalized. Items of property sold, retired or otherwise disposed of are removed from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts and any gains or losses on disposal are reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, net

Goodwill represents the amount by which the purchase prices (including liabilities assumed) of acquired businesses exceed the estimated fair value of the net tangible assets and separately identifiable intangible assets of these businesses. Definite lived intangible assets, consisting primarily of trade names and technology, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested at least annually for impairment. The Company reassesses the value of our reporting units and related goodwill balances annually on October 1 and at other times if events have occurred or circumstances exist that indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable.

Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets and definite lived intangible assetsfor impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. If indicators of impairment exist, management identifies the asset group that includes the potentially impaired long-lived asset, at the lowest level at which there are separate, identifiable cash flows. If the fair value, determined as the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows for the asset group is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset.

Mezzanine Equity

The Company has issued various financial instruments, including preferred stock. Instruments containing redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control are classified as redeemable or mezzanine equity. The purpose of this classification is to convey that such a security may not be permanently part of equity and could result in a demand for cash, securities or other assets of the entity in the future. See Note 10, Convertible Preferred Stock, for further discussion regarding the reclassification of the Company’s Convertible Preferred Stock from permanent equity to mezzanine equity.

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance, ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”Management’s assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, whether they meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815. See Note 11, Warrants, for further discussion regarding the reclassification of the Company’s PIPE Warrants from equity to liabilities.

For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, such warrants are required to be recorded as a liability initially at their fair value on the date of issuance, and subsequently remeasured to fair value on each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of liability-classified warrants are recognized in other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period of change.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when there is a transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company sells solar power systems under construction and development agreements to residential and commercial customers. The completed system is sold as a single performance obligation. For residential contracts, revenue is recognized at the point-in-time when the systems are placed into service. Any advance payments received in the form of customer deposits are recorded as contract liabilities.

Commercial contracts are generally completed within three totwelve months from commencement of construction. Construction on large projects may be completed within eighteen totwenty-four months, depending on the size and location of the project. Revenues from commercial contracts are recognized under a percentage of completion method, measured by the percentage of hours incurred to date against estimated total hours budgeted for each contract. Because of inherent uncertainties in estimating costs, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change within the near future. Contract costs include all direct material, labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor and other supplies. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and revenues which are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Changes in estimated job profitability resulting from job performance, job conditions, contract penalty provisions, claims, change orders, and settlements, are accounted for as changes in estimates in the current period.

See Note 3, Revenue Recognition, for further discussion regarding revenue recognition.

Gross Excise Tax

The State of Hawaii imposes a gross receipts tax on all business operations done in Hawaii. The Company records the tax revenue and expense on a gross basis.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists of direct and indirect material and labor costs for solar energy system installations as well as warranty costs, permitting fees, financing fees and overhead, including costs related to procurement, warehousing and inventory management.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation awards on a fair value basis. The estimated grant date fair value of each stock-based award is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period). The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

Warranty

SUNation warrants its productsfor various periods against defects in material or installation workmanship. The manufacturers of the solar panels and the inverters provide a warranty period of generally 25 years and 10 years, respectively. SUNation will assist its customers in the event that the manufacturers' warranty needs to be used to replace a defective solar panel or inverter. SUNation provides for warranty up to the lifetime of the system on the installation of a system and all equipment and incidental supplies other than solar panels and inverters that are recovered under the manufacturers' warranty. SUNation provides extended workmanship warranties to the customer for up to 25 years for the service of inverters, which is reimbursed by the manufacturer.

The Company estimates its warranty obligations upon installation, an expense included in cost of sales, based on management’s best estimate of the probable cost to be incurred in honoring its warranty commitment.

Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding the method to allocate resources and assess performance. Our chief operating decision maker is comprised of our Interim Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Operating Officer. Based on the financial information presented to and reviewed by our chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance, we have determined we havetwo operating segments, but meet the aggregation criteria in order to aggregate intoone reportable segment.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss attributable to common shareholders per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net loss attributable to common shareholders per common share adjusts for the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding. The Company had $11,322,639 in deemed dividends during the six months ended June 30, 2024, which decreases the numerator in the net loss per share calculation. The Company’s only potential additional common shares outstanding are common shares that would result from the conversion of the Series A convertible preferred shares, warrants and shares associated with the long-term incentive compensation plans, which resulted inno dilutive effect for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of outstanding warrants and unvested shares using the treasury stock method and the dilutive effect of outstanding preferred shares using the if-converted method. There wereno options or deferred stock awards excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because there wereno outstanding options or deferred stock awards as of both June 30, 2024 and 2023. Warrants totaling 15,573,145 and 345,099 and restricted stock units totaling 30,287 and 68,016 would have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, even if there had not been a net loss in those periods, because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of common stock during the period.

Accounting Standards Issued

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which expands disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and requires more enhanced information about a reportable segment’s expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how a public entity’s chief operating decision maker uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU and the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative,” which is intended to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of topics. Many of the amendments will allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements and align the requirements in the FASB accounting standard codification with the SEC’s regulations. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU and the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. This ASU is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU and the impact it may have on its financial statement disclosures.

NOTE 3 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

NOTE 5 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On June 30, 2023, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its legacy non-core subsidiaries, JDL and Ecessa, to TheIPGuys.net LLC doing business as OneNet Global for total net proceeds of $1,231,616. The Company received net initial proceeds of $1,106,616, consisting of $1,175,000 in initial consideration less $68,384 in adjustments. An additional $125,000 in consideration was held in escrow until July 1, 2024 for potential indemnification claims that may arise under the asset purchase agreement. The amount in escrow represented a consideration receivable that is included in other current assets within the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024, as it was considered to be probable that the amount will be received in full at the conclusion of the escrow period. The amount of escrow proceeds that will be received will depend on whether any indemnification obligations arise under the asset purchase agreement and the receivable will be monitored for potential impairment. There were no indemnification obligations identified and the escrow funds will be released in the third quarter of 2024. The Company recorded a loss on sale of $1,190,002 during the second quarter of 2023. The presentation ofdiscontinued operations with respect to this transaction has been retrospectively applied to all prior periods presented.

The financial results of the discontinued operations are as follows:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a total of $56,717 in expected restructuring expenses, which consisted of severance and related benefits costs. The Company paid $56,717 in restructuring charges in 2023 and hadno restructuring accruals recorded at either June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

NOTE 6 –INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company’s identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are being amortized over their estimated useful lives and were as follows:

Amortization expense on these identifiable intangible assets was $709,375 and $1,216,699 during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively and $1,418,750 and $2,483,397 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The estimated future amortization expense for identifiable intangible assets during the next fiscal years is as follows:

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Loan Payable

Pineapple Energy has a loan in an original amount of $7,500,000 payable to Hercules Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”) under a loan and security agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”). This loan accrues interest at 10%, payable-in-kind (“PIK”) and was initially due and payable on December 10, 2023. There are no financial covenants associated with this loan. This loan was used to acquire fixed assets, inventory, and intangible assets of Sungevity in an asset acquisition in December 2020. As the transaction did not involve the exchange of monetary consideration, the assets were valued at the Company’s most reliable indication of fair value, which was debt issued in consideration for the assets. Accordingly, Pineapple Energy assessed the fair market value of the debt instrument at $4,768,000 at the asset acquisition date (a non-recurring Level 3 fair value input). The Company initially accreted the value of the debt over its life at a discount rate of approximately 25%.

On December 16, 2021, the Term Loan Agreement was amended, whereby, among other things, the maturity date was extended to December 31, 2024, subject to various prepayment criteria. In addition, the amendment provided that $4,500,000 plus all accrued and unpaid interest and expenses were to be repaid upon Closing and receipt of the PIPE funds, with the remaining principal to be paid upon the loan maturity date. The amendment represented a modification to the loan agreement with the existing lender as both the original loan agreement and the amendment allow for immediate prepayment and the Company passed the cash flow test.

On May 31, 2023, the Term Loan Agreement was further amended (the “Second Amendment”), primarilyfor the purpose of obtaining consent for the senior financing from Decathlon Specialty Finance, LLC (the “Decathlon Financing”), the proceeds of which were partially applied to repay $1,500,000 of the principal amount of the term loan. At the time of the Second Amendment and prior to the repayment, the aggregate remaining balance of the term loan, including principal and interest, was $3,375,742. The Second Amendment also extended the maturity date of the term loan to June 2, 2027 and set the interest rate at ten percent (10.0%) payable monthly and removing the PIK interest. The aggregate remaining principal balance of $1,875,742 along with interest is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest beginning on July 3, 2023 and continuing on the first business day of each month thereafter. The Second Amendment represented a modification under ASC 470-50 as the original loan agreement and the amended agreement are not substantially different.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the combined loan and accrued interest balance was $596,183 and $497,052, respectively. A new effective interest rate of approximately 48.6% was established during the second quarter of 2023 based on the carrying value of the revised cash flows.

Interest and accretion expense was $192,290 and $221,983 for three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $395,119 and $412,641 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The loan is collateralized by all of Pineapple Energy’s personal property and assets.

SUNation Short-Term and Long-Term Notes

In connection with the SUNation acquisition, on November 9, 2022, the Company issued a $5,000,000 Short-Term Limited Recourse Secured Promissory Note(the “Short-Term Note”) and a $5,486,000 Long-Term Promissory Note(the “Long-Term Note”). The $5,000,000 Short-Term Note was secured by a pledge by the Company and Merger Sub of the equity of SUNation purchased under the Transaction Agreement and was scheduled to mature on August 9, 2023. It carried an annual interest rate of 4% until the three-month anniversary of issuance,8% thereafter until the six-month anniversary of issuance, then 12% thereafter until the Short-Term Note was paid in full. On June 1, 2023 the Company used funds from the Decathlon Financing to repay the Short-Term Note in full. The repayment of Short-Term Note has been recorded as a debt extinguishment as the Company is relieved of its obligation under the Short-Term Noteand the related pledge by the Company of the equity of SUNation to secure the repayment of the Short-Term Note has been terminated. Since the Short-Term Note was with a related party, the Company recorded a capital contribution of $36,291 based on the difference between the carrying amount and reacquisition price of the Short-Term Note.

The $5,486,000 Long-Term Note is unsecured and matures on November 9, 2025. It carries an annual interest rate of 4% until the first anniversary of issuance, then 8% thereafter until the Long-Term Note is paid in full. Interest is due annually on each December 31 st. The Company was unable to make the second interest payment totaling $250,703 due on December 31, 2023. The Company will be required to make a principal payment of $2,740,000 million on November 9, 2024. The Companyis not permitted to make any payments under the Long-Term Note unless Decathlon (defined below) has provided prior written consent to such payment pursuant to the Loan Agreement. Pursuant to that certain subordination letter dated May 31, 2023, each holder of the Long-Term Note has subordinated all payments under the Long-Term Note to the obligations owed to Decathlon under the Loan Agreement (the “Decathlon Obligations”) and has agreed that, until the Decathlon Obligations have been paid in full, any payment under the Long-Term Note is subject to Decathlon’s prior written consent. As the debt was part of the SUNation purchase price allocation, the Company assessed the fair market value of the debt instrument at $4,830,533 at the asset acquisition date (a non-recurring Level 3 fair value input). The Company accretes the value of the debt over its life at a discount rate of approximately 11.2%. The Long-Term Note may be prepaid at the Company’s option at any time without penalty..

The balance of Long-Term Note recorded at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $5,805,426 and $5,499,716, respectively. Interest and accretion expense related to the notes totaled $152,855 and $250,347 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 respectively, and $305,710 and $470,419 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Decathlon Fixed Loan

On June 1, 2023, the Company entered into a Revenue Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Decathlon Specialty Finance, LLC (“Decathlon”). The Loan Agreement provides for a loan facility for the Company in the maximum amount of $7.5 million with a maturity date of June 1, 2027 (the “Decathlon Fixed Loan”), with the full amount being advanced to the Company upon execution of the Loan Agreement. The Decathlon Fixed Loan contains customary conditions, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, mandatory prepayment provisions and events of default. The advances are secured by all present and hereafter acquired property of the Company.

At issuance of the Loan Agreement, the Company concluded that the potential acceleration of amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement upon an event of default included a substantial premium and met the requirement to be bifurcated and recorded as a derivative liability at fair value at inception and at the end of each quarterly reporting period. However, based on management’s estimates of the likelihood of certain events, the embedded derivative liability had no fair value at issuance and at the end of each of the reporting periods ended prior to June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of this embedded derivative liability was estimated to be $1,055,600 and was recorded within current liabilities. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a loss of $1,055,600 from the change in fair value of the derivative liability, which is included in “Other (expense) income, net" in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Decathlon Fixed Loan is repayable in fixed monthly payments, which generally aggregate to$960,000 that was paid in 2023, $2,220,000 payable in 2024, $2,580,000 payable in 2025, $2,760,000 payable in 2026 and $3,480,000 payable in 2027 to the maturity date. All outstanding advances and interest under the Loan Agreement are due at maturity on June 1, 2027 (unless accelerated upon a change of control or the occurrence of other events of default). Interest accrues on the amounts advanced pursuant to the Loan Agreement at such rate as is necessary to generate an amount equal to the Minimum Interest, which is defined in the Loan Agreement as the following multiple of the advanced amount depending on the period during which all amounts due under the Loan Agreement are paid: (i)0.25 times if on or before 12 months after the Effective Date (as defined in the Loan Agreement); (ii)0.35 times if after 12 months and on or before 24 months after the Effective Date; (iii)0.50 times if after 24 months and on or before 36 months after the Effective Date; and 0.60 times if after 36 months after the Effective Date. The Company may at its option prepay the advance(s) and accrued but unpaid interest from time to time without penalty or premium (other than payment of the Minimum Interest (as defined in the Loan Agreement)).

The Company incurred an aggregate of $348,065 in debt issuance costs that are recorded as a discount and are amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the Decathlon Fixed Loan using an effective interest rate of 21%. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the combined loan and accrued interest balance was $7,042,880 and $7,408,925, respectively, and the unamortized debt issuance costs balance was $225,633 and $280,856, respectively. The Company recorded interest expense of $379,721 and $127,698 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $769,178 and $127,698 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

NOTE 9 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

2022 Equity Incentive Plan

On January 24, 2022 the CSI board of directors adopted, and on March 16, 2022 the Company’s shareholders approved, the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (“2022 Plan”), which became effective on March 28, 2022. The 2022 Plan authorizes incentive awards to officers, key employees, non-employee directors, and consultants in the form of options (incentive and non-qualified), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, stock unit awards, and other stock-based awards. Following an amendment approved on December 7, 2022, the 2022 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 83,333 shares of common stock (1,250,000 prior to the Reverse Stock Split). At June 30, 2024,30,693 shares had been issued under the 2022 Plan,20,650 shares were subject to currently outstanding unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and 31,990 shares were available for grant under future awards.

Inducement Grants

On October 10, 2022, the board of directors approved an inducement grant of 5,485 RSUs in connection with the hiring of a new Chief Financial Officer. On November 6, 2022, the board of directors approved inducement grants totaling 8,970 RSUs in connection with the hiring of Senior Vice Presidents in connection with the SUNation acquisition.

Changes in Restricted Stock Units Outstanding

The following table summarizes the changes in the number of RSUs during the six months ended June 30, 2024:

All RSUs and weighted average grant date fair value per share values have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the Reverse Stock Split of the common stock at a ratio of 1-for-15 that became effective on June 12, 2024. See Note 1, "Nature of Operations," for further details.

Compensation Expense

Share-based compensation expense recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $(11,583) and $300,537, respectively, and $185,723 and $612,982 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding RSUs was $341,490 at June 30, 2024 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. Share-based compensation expense is recorded as a part of selling, general and administrative expenses.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On December 7, 2022, the Company’s shareholders approved an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), pursuant to which eligible employees are able to acquire shares of common stock ata purchase price determined by the board of directors or compensation committee prior to the start of each six-month plan phase, which price may not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the lower of the value on the first day or the last day of the phase, or the value on the last day of the phase. The ESPP is considered compensatory under current Internal Revenue Service rules. At June 30, 2024,20,001 shares remained available for purchase under the ESPP.

NOTE 10 – CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

In June 2021, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to issue Series A Preferred Stock. At such time, the Series A Preferred Stock contained certain anti-dilution provisions. In November 2022, the Company amended and restated the agreement under which Series A Preferred shareholders agreed to waive such provisions in exchange for certain concessions from the Company. The Company’s outstanding Series A Preferred Stock have anti-dilution provisions that would increase the number of shares issuable upon conversion, and lower the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock if the Company issues equity securities at a price less than the current conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock at the time of such issuance. In February 2024, the Company entered into a Limited Waiver and Amendment (“Waiver”) and the investors agreedto a floor of $2.10 ($0.14 prior to the Reverse Stock Split) with respect to the adjustment set forthfor the conversion price and to waive future anti-dilution protection with respect to 50% of the shares of Preferred Stock held by such purchasers as of the date of the Waiver.

The Company is required to analyze amendments to preferred stock terms to determine the appropriate method of accounting to be applied. While guidance exists in ASC 470-50 to address the accounting for debt modifications, including preferred stock that is accounted for as a liability, there is no comparable guidance to address the accounting for modifications to preferred stock instruments that are accounted for as equity or temporary equity, which necessitates the subjective determination of whether a modification or exchange represents an extinguishment. Current accounting guidance permits the analysis of preferred stock modifications by using either the qualitative approach, the fair value approach or the cash flow approach. Due to the nature of the amendment made to the preferred stock terms and consistent with its prior policy, the Company determined that the fair value approach was the most appropriate methodology. Based on the quantitative method, the Company determined that the Waiver resulted in an extinguishment of the Preferred Stock. As a result, the Preferred Stock was revalued immediately after the Waiver in February 2024. The difference between the previous carrying amount and the fair value of $751,125 was recognized as a deemed dividend in the three months ended March 31, 2024 that reduces retained earnings and income available to common shareholders in calculating earnings per share. As the Company does not have any retained earnings, management recorded the deemed dividend by reducing the amount of additional paid-in-capital (“APIC”) in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2024.

In addition, management evaluated the Series A Preferred Stock after the modifications and determined that they should be reclassified to mezzanine equity under ASC 480-10-S99 as a result of the Company not having sufficient authorized and unissued shares to settle a conversion to Common Stock.

NOTE 11 – WARRANTS

In September 2021, the Company entered into transactions with holders of its outstanding Series A Preferred Stock to issue PIPE Warrants to purchase the Company's common stock. At such time, the PIPE Warrants contained certain anti-dilution provisions. In November 2022, the Company amended and restated the agreement under which PIPE Warrant holders agreed to waive such provisions in exchange for certain concessions from the Company. The Company’s outstanding Series A Warrants have anti-dilution provisions that would increase the number of shares issuable upon exercise and lower the exercise price of the Series A Warrants if the Company issues equity securities at a price less than the current exercise price of the Series A Warrants at the time of such issuance. Pursuant to the Waiver, investors agreed to a floor of $2.10 ($0.14 prior to the Reverse Stock Split) with respect to the anti-dilution adjustments in the warrants and extend the term of the warrants until March 28, 2029.

The PIPE Warrants were valued immediately before and immediately after the modifications to calculate the $10.6 million incremental value of the modified PIPE Warrants. The Company considers this incremental value to be a deemed dividend that reduces retained earnings and income available to common shareholders in calculating earnings per share. As the Company does not have any retained earnings, management recorded the deemed dividend by reducing APIC in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2024.

Management evaluated the warrants after the modifications made in February 2024 and determined that they should be reclassified from equity to liability based on the guidance in ASC 815-40 and the Company failing to have enough authorized and unissued shares available to settle an exercise of the contract. In accordance with ASC 815-40, the carrying value of the warrants were adjusted to fair value through an adjustment in stockholders’ equity immediately prior to the reclassification. Subsequent to the reclassification, management remeasured the warrant liability to fair value as of June 30, 2024 and recorded the change in fair value to other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 12 – SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK

On May 13, 2024, the Company entered into a Subscription and Investment Representation Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell one share of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”), for $15. The sale closed on May 14, 2024.

On May 13, 2024, the Company filed a certificate of designation (the “Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of Minnesota, effective as of May 13, 2024, designating the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the share of the Series B Preferred Stock. The Certificate of Designation provides that the share of Series B Preferred Stock has 5,000,000,000 votes and will vote together with the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as a single class exclusively with respect to (i) any proposal to amend the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”) to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split Proposal”) and (ii) any proposal to adopt an amendment to the Articles, or any other proposal to otherwise approve or ratify, to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock, either by increasing the total number of authorized shares or by effecting a reverse stock split without a corresponding decrease in the number of authorized shares (the “Authorized Shares Increase Proposal”). The Series B Preferred Stock will also be entitled to vote in the election of directors, but will only have one vote to cast with respect to each director nominee.

The Series B Preferred Stock must be voted, without action by the holder, in the same proportion as shares of common stock are voted. The Series B Preferred Stock otherwise has no voting rights except as otherwise required by the Minnesota Business Corporation Act.

The Series B Preferred Stock is not convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or series of stock or other securities of the Company, nor is it redeemable for cash or any other consideration. The Series B Preferred Stock has no rights with respect to any distribution of assets of the Company, including upon a liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, merger, acquisition, sale, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. The holder of the Series B Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive dividends of any kind.

Under the Certificate of Designation, the outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock will be cancelled in whole, but not in part, at any time (i) if such cancellation is ordered by the Company’s board of directors in its sole discretion or (ii) automatically upon the approval by the Company’s shareholders of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal and Authorized Shares Increase Proposal at any meeting of shareholders. The holder of the share of Series B Preferred Stock was not entitled to any consideration upon such cancellation. The shareholders approved the Reverse Stock Split Proposal and Authorized Shares Increase Proposal on July 19, 2024 and, as a result, the share of Series B Preferred Stock was automatically cancelled at that time.

NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES

In the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, management calculates income taxes based upon the estimated effective rate applicable to operating results for the full fiscal year. This includes estimating the current tax liability as well as assessing differences resulting from different treatment of items for tax and book accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are recorded on the balance sheet. Management analyzes these assets and liabilities regularly and assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income.

The Company’s effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 0.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The effective tax rate differs from the federal tax rate of 21% due to state income taxes and changes in valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets. The Company’s effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was (0.1%) and differed from the federal tax rate due to state income taxes and changes in valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets.

NOTE 14 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The accounting guidance establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar instruments and quoted prices in markets that are not active, and inputs that are directly observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 2 are typically either comparable to actively traded securities or contracts, such as treasury securities with pricing interpolated from recent trades of similar securities, or priced with models using highly observable inputs, such as commodity options priced using observable forward prices and volatilities.

Level 3 – Significant inputs to pricing that have little or no observability as of the reporting date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 are those with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation, such as the complex and subjective models and forecasts used to determine the fair value of financial instruments.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are summarized below.

The following tables present reconciliations of recurring fair value measurements that use significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

The estimated fair value of the CVRs as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $1,198,212 and $1,691,072, respectively, as noted above. The Company recorded a $492,860 gain on the fair value remeasurement of the CVRs during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and a $1,392,195 gain on the fair value of the remeasurement of the CVRs during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The estimated fair value of earnout consideration related to the acquisition of SUNation as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $2,700,000 and $3,500,000, respectively. Included in the $2,700,000 at June 30, 2024 is $2,500,000 related to the first earnout period and $200,000 related to the second earnout period, both recorded in current liabilities. The estimated fair value is considered a Level 3 measurement. In order to update the fair value of the earnout consideration, the Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation, which included the following significant assumptions: the expected probability and timing of achievement of milestone events. As a result of the fair value remeasurement, the Company recorded a remeasurement gain of $800,000 and a remeasurement loss of $930,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The estimated fair value of the PIPE warrants was $9,806,409 and $0 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As noted in Note 11, the warrants were classified as a liability during the first quarter of 2024, resulting in a $10,592,202 reclassification from equity. The estimated fair value is considered a Level 3 measurement and the fair value of the warrant liability is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation to model future movement of the stock price. As a result of the fair value remeasurement, the Company recorded a remeasurement gain of $461,022 and $0 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The estimated fair value of the embedded derivative liability was $1,055,600 and $0 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As a result of the fair value remeasurement, the Company recorded a remeasurement loss of $1,055,600 and $0 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The estimated fair value is considered a Level 3 measurement and the fair value of the embedded derivative liability is determined based on a comparison of the present value of cash flows with and without the embedded derivative. This analysis includes management estimates of the likelihood of an event of a default.

The fair value remeasurement related to the SUNation earnout was recorded within operating expenses. The other fair value remeasurements noted above were recorded within other (expense) income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

We record transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy, if necessary, at the end of the reporting period. There wereno transfers between levels during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

NOTE 15 – GOING CONCERN

The Company’s financial statements as of June 30, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Based on the Company’s current financial position, which includes approximately $1.1 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents that are restricted under the CVR agreement and cannot be used by the Company for its own working capital needs, the Company did not have sufficient cash to make the first earnout payment under the SUNation Transaction Agreement, which was due on May 6, 2024, and the Company’s forecasted future cash flows for the twelve months beyond the date of issuance of the financial statements in this report indicate that the Company will not have sufficient cash to make the first principal payment of the Long-Term Note that is due on November 9, 2024, a factor which raises substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as agoing concern for a reasonable period of time. Notwithstanding the Company’s ability to make such payments, the Company is not permitted to make any earnout payments under the SUNation Transaction Agreement or any payments under the Long-Term Note unless Decathlon has provided prior written consent to such payment pursuant to the Loan Agreement. Pursuant to that certain subordination letter dated May 31, 2023, each holder of the Long-Term Note has subordinated all payments under the Long-Term Note to the obligations owed to Decathlon under the Loan Agreement and has agreed that, until the Decathlon Obligations have been paid in full, any payment under the Long-Term Note is subject to Decathlon’s prior written consent. Therefore, if Decathlon does not consent to the first principal payment of the Long-Term Note, such non-payment will not result in a default under the Long-Term Note. Failure to make earnout payments under the SUNation Transaction Agreement, which are prohibited under the Loan Agreement, could result in a breach under the SUNation Transaction Agreement.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need additional capital resources. Management plans toraise capital through sources that may include public or private equity offerings, debt financings and/or strategic alliances. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as agoing concern.

NOTE 16 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing.

Nasdaq Compliance

On October 27, 2023, the Company received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market informing it that because the closing bid price for its common stock listed on Nasdaq was below $1.00 per share for the last 31 consecutive business days, it did not comply with the minimum closing bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, the Company had a period of 180 calendar days, or until April 24, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Rule.

Additionally, on February 27, 2024, the Staff issued another notice (the “February Notice”) notifying the Company that its common stock had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for 10 consecutive trading days (February 12, 2024 to February 26, 2024). Accordingly, the Company is subject to the provisions contemplated under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) (the “Low Priced Stock Rule”). As a result, the Staff had determined to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq effective as of the opening of business on March 7, 2024, unless the Company requested an appeal before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) of the Staff’s determination by March 5, 2024. The Company requested a hearing before the Panel to appeal the February Notice, and Nasdaq initially scheduled the hearing for April 30, 2024. Subsequently, the Company was granted an expedited review process and extension as described below, and received notice that an oral hearing was not necessary.

Following the Company’s Special Meeting of Shareholders that was held on April 12, 2024, at which the reverse stock split proposal was not approved, the Company provided the Panel with an update on the Company’s plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Rule and an extension request until July 24, 2024. On April 19, 2024, the Panel granted an extension for the Company to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Rule until July 24, 2024.

On May 16, 2024, the Company received a notice from the Staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market informing the Company that it no longer complied with the requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Equity Rule”) because the Company reported stockholders’ equity of negative $11.2 million in its Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024, and, as of the date of the Notice, the Company did not meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations. Accordingly, the Notice indicates that this matter serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from the Nasdaq Stock Market.

As noted in Note 1, on June 12, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-15 Reverse Stock Split in an effort to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Rule. On July 18, 2024, the Company received a notice from the Staff informing the Company that it has regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule, and that, as a result, the Company will be subject to a Mandatory Panel Monitor for a period of one year from the date of this letter in accordance with Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B). If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Staff finds the Company again out of compliance with the Bid Price Rule, the Company will not be permitted to provide the Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to that deficiency and the Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to that deficiency, nor will the Company be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period pursuant to Rule 5810(c)(3). Instead, the Staff will issue a Delist Determination Letter and the Company will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial panel or a newly convened Hearings Panel if the initial panel is unavailable. The Company will have the opportunity to respond/present to the Hearings Panel as provided by Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(C). The Company’s securities may be at that time delisted from Nasdaq.

On July 19, 2024, the shareholders approved an increase in authorized shares which gives the Company sufficient shares to settle the conversion of the Company’s convertible preferred stock and warrants into common stock. As a result, on July 26, 2024, the Company received a decision from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) informing the Company that Nasdaq has determined and agreed that the Company is now in compliance with the Equity Rule. The Company will remain on a one-year Nasdaq Panel Monitor, which means that if the Company falls out of compliance again, it will not be able to submit a remediation plan to the Staff, but rather it will be required to go back into the hearings process.

The following table presents a pro forma presentation of our warrant liability, mezzanine equity and stockholders’ equity (deficit) to reflect what the June 30, 2024 balances would have been if the Company had sufficient authorized shares as of the balance sheet date.

Bridge Loan Financing

On July 22, 2024, the Company obtained bridge loan financing for working capital purposes from Conduit Capital U.S. Holdings LLC (“Conduit”), an unaffiliated lender, and MBB Energy, LLC (“MBB”), an affiliate of the Company. On such date, Conduit and MBB each loaned the principal sum of $500,000 to the Company on an original issue (“OID”) basis of 20% and accordingly, Conduit and MBB each advanced $400,000 to the Company (the “Initial Loans”) for a total of $800,000. The Initial Loans will accrue interest on the unpaid principal amount, without deduction for the OID, at an annual rate of 20%. Commencing on October 21, 2024 through and including maturity date, the Company may request that Conduit and MBB provide additional advances for working capital on identical terms, conditions and interest rate as the Initial Loans on an OID basis, up to an aggregate principal sum of $1,000,000, and Conduit and MBB shall have the right, without commitment or obligation, to make such requested loan(s) by advancing 80% percent of the principal thereof. All such loans are secured by a pledge of all of the Company’s assets. The loans due by the Company to Conduit and MBB will become due on July 21, 2025 (“Maturity Date”).

On July 22, 2024, the Company entered into a Joinder and Amendment to Subordination Agreement (the “Joinder Agreement”) with Decathlon, Hercules Capital, Inc., Conduit and MBB. Pursuant thereto, Conduit and MBB became parties to the Subordination Agreement dated June 21, 2023, among the Company, Decathlon, and Hercules Capital, Inc. In accordance with the Joinder Agreement, Conduit and MBB agreed to subordinate their respective security interests in the Company’s assets, to the first priority security interest of Decathlon and the second security priority interest of Hercules.
