NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025
(In thousands, except for share and per share data and where otherwise noted)
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 –ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company
Polar Power, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Washington as Polar Products, Inc. and in 1991 reincorporated in the State of California under the name Polar Power, Inc. In December 2016, Polar Power, Inc. reincorporated in the State of Delaware (the “Company”, “we” or “us”). The Company designs, manufactures and sells direct current, or DC, power systems to supply reliable and low-cost energy to off-grid, bad-grid and backup power, electric vehicle (“EV”) charging, and nano-grid applications. The Company’s products integrate DC generator, proprietary electronic control systems, lithium batteries and solar photovoltaic (“PV”) technologies to provide low operating cost and emissions for telecommunications, Defense, automotive, nano-grid, EV charging and industrial markets.
Going concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40,Going Concern, the Company’s management has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the accompanying financial statements were issued. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a net loss of $178 and used cash in operations of $2,191. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm, in its audit report to the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company manufactures and assembles its DC power systems at two production facilities located in Gardena, California. It is currently delinquent in rent payments to its landlords for office and warehouse facilities. The landlord for its headquarters and manufacturing facility at 249 E. Gardena Blvd., Gardena, California filed a summons for eviction on October 24, 2025. On February 23, 2026, the landlord stopped the actions for eviction and continued discussions with the Company to resolve the delinquent rents and expired lease agreement. The Company expects to be in the position to make significant payment towards the delinquent rents in the near term and/or provide a payment plan mutually agreeable to both parties. The landlord for the other facility for which the Company is delinquent on rent, has not served the Company any legal documents or assessed late fees for the delinquent rent. However, they may do so in the future. The Company is also negotiating with this landlord on a payment plan for the delinquent rent. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company paid $206 towards its past due lease obligations reported as of December 31, 2025.
On May 11, 2026, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with the landlord for each of its headquarters facility and its warehouse facility that became effective as of May 7, 2026. The Settlement Agreement addressed the matter of delinquent rents and an expired lease. Regarding the Company’s headquarters facility, the Company agreed to make immediate payment of $400 towards past due rents, and the landlord agreed to cease eviction procedures. The landlord also agreed to extend the property lease commencing June 1, 2026, to April 1, 2027, and reduce the monthly rent from $84 to $55. Regarding the warehouse facility, the Company agreed to vacate the facility by August 31, 2026 and leave the premises in the condition required by the relevant lease agreement; in exchange, the landlord agreed to waive rents for the months of June, July, and August 2026. Each landlord reserved the right to charge for any waived rents or continue with eviction action should the Company fail to meet the requirements listed in the Settlement Agreement. The Company also may have to pay liquidated damages if it fails to vacate the properties in the event either or both landlords decide to exercise their rights for eviction.
As of May 19, 2026, the Company had not made a payment per the Settlement Agreement, and on May 19, 2026, the landlord for the Company’s headquarters facility evicted the Company from that facility. The headquarters facility is where the Company, among other things, has its offices, conducts design work, and assembles and tests it products. The Company is currently relocating these activities to its warehouse facility. The Company is continuing its operations, but expects there to be disruptions and difficulties with this change. Further, if the landlord for the warehouse facility were to evict the Company from that facility, the Company could have difficulty finding an appropriate location from which to operate its business, which would have a material adverse effect on its operations, financial results and financial condition.
As of the date hereof, the Company is pursuing third-party financing that it would use to pay the landlords and certain other expenses.
There is no guarantee that Company will raise sufficient capital to pay the delinquent rent or that the landlord for the headquarters facility would agree to let the Company use that facility if the Company were to pay the rent. It is possible that the Company will be forced to vacate from both facilities, and if that happens, it may have difficulty securing new headquarters, or new manufacturing or warehouse facilities that are adequate. Our production could be significantly delayed, access to our inventory could be impaired, and our operations could halt for a significant period of time. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was delinquent in $858 of rent to these landlords which is included in accounts payable.
Effective September 30, 2020, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Pinnacle Bank (“Pinnacle”) which will expire on September 30, 2026. The Loan Agreement, as amended, provides for a revolving credit facility under which Pinnacle may, in its sole discretion upon the Company’s request, make advances to us up to $7,500, subject to certain limitations and adjustments. The Loan Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants. At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the Company was not in compliance with the affirmative covenant requiring the Company to attain a minimum effective tangible net worth greater than $6,000. On March 10, 2026, the Company and Pinnacle executed a Notice of Additional Defaults and Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”), in which Pinnacle agrees to forbear from exercising certain rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement and related documents (the “Loan Documents”) arising from the Specified Existing Defaults (as defined by the Forbearance Agreement) for the period commencing March 10, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), to July 31, 2026 (the “Forbearance Termination Date”), considering the Company 1) on or prior to the Effective Date, pays Pinnacle the amount of $250, 2) on or prior to the Effective Date, assigns to Pinnacle new Eligible Accounts in the aggregate amount of at least $185, with 85% of the Net Face Amount (as defined by the Forbearance Agreement) of such new Eligible Accounts (as defined by the Forbearance Agreement) to be applied to reduce the loan obligations, 3) within forty-five (45) days of the Effective Date, reduce the loan obligations by the aggregate amount of $225, which reduction can result from a cash payment or the assignment of sufficient new Eligible Accounts, with 85% of the Net Face Amount of such new Eligible Accounts to be applied towards such reduction amount, 4) does not create any new events of default, 5) pays in full all obligations to Pinnacle by the Termination Date. If the Company timely complies with all terms listed above, and so long as the Forbearance Termination Date has not occurred, Pinnacle agrees that it will re-commence making Advances to the Company in the amount equal to 42.5% of the Net Face Amount of the thereafter arising Eligible Accounts, with the remaining 42.5% of the Net Face Amount of such Eligible Accounts to be applied to reduce the then outstanding obligations. In March 2026, the Company paid $250 to Pinnacle and timely complied with the requirements under the Forbearance Agreement and commenced taking advances at 42.5% of the Net Face Amount of Eligible Accounts on March 12, 2026. While the Company expects to stay in compliance and pay the full obligation to Pinnacle by July 31, 2026, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to do so. If the Company is unable to comply with the Loan Agreement, or pay the full obligation to Pinnacle by the July 31, 2026, Pinnacle may immediately enforce its claims, rights, liens, and security interests under the Forbearance Agreement and the Loan Documents, including but not limited to, taking possession of its collateral, or any portion thereof, and foreclosing upon its collateral, or any portion thereof, in accordance with the Loan Documents and applicable law.
On October 6, 2025, the Company entered into an ATM sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with ThinkEquity LLC (the “Sales Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time (the “ATM Offering”) through the Sales Agent, shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), up to a maximum amount as set forth in the Sales Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement. The Company filed a prospectus supplement to its registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-276705) offering the Shares up to an aggregate offering price of up to $2,382.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company sold 166,127 shares of Common Stock in the ATM Offering at a weighted-average price of $4.70 per share, for net proceeds of $757, after deducting commissions to the sales agent and other ATM Offering related expenses of $23. On December 12, 2025, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to its registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-276705) to increase the amount of shares of Common Stock that the Company may offer and sell under the Sales Agreement and applicable registration statement to an aggregate offering price of up to $2,500, which amount does not include the shares of Common Stock having an aggregate gross sales price of approximately $757 that were sold under the ATM Offering through December 11, 2025, in accordance with the limitations set forth in Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. During the three months ended March, 31, 2026, the Company sold 962,500 shares of Common Stock in the ATM Offering at a weighted-average price of $2.60 per share, for net proceeds of $2,424, after deducting commissions to the sales agent and other ATM Offering related expenses of $75.
On December 23 2025, the Company entered into a business loan and security agreement (the “WWCM Loan Agreement”) with World Wide Capital Management (“WWCM”), pursuant to which the Company borrowed net proceeds of $399 from WWCM, after deducting fees as outlined in the WWCM Loan Agreement. The loan amount is $500, with a loan origination fee of $20, providing for an advance amount of $480. The loan is to be paid in 48 weekly payments of $13 with the first six payments paid in advance and deducted from the initial funding. Net proceeds of $399 were received by the Company on December 26, 2025. The total remaining repayment obligation to the Company is $365 as of March 31, 2026.
Furthermore, the Company’s ability to secure other financing is uncertain. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing, grow and diversify our revenue, improve operational efficiency, reduce overhead and fixed costs, and to create a profitable operation. Its ability to obtain additional financing in the debt and equity capital markets is subject to several factors, including market and economic conditions, its performance and investor sentiment with respect to the Company and its industry. The Company has taken action to diversify sales to consume existing inventory, increase higher margin aftermarket parts revenue, to fund operations. In the event that the Company does not generate sufficient cash flows from operations and is unable to obtain funding, the Company will be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate some or all of its discretionary spending, which could adversely affect the Company’s business prospects, ability to meet long-term liquidity needs or ability to continue operations.
Impact of inflation
The impact of inflation and changing prices during the three months ended March 31, 2026 has had modest effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. Rapid changes in the global economy may cause significant spikes in inflation which may have an impact in our financial condition during 2026 and beyond. Because some of our contracts are at a fixed price, we face the risk that cost overruns or inflation may exceed, erode or eliminate our expected profit margin, or cause us to record a loss on certain projects. We are taking actions to manage the potential impacts of these matters and we will continue to assess the actual and expected impacts and the need for further action.
Basis of Presentation of Unaudited Financial Information
The unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K for scaled disclosures for smaller reporting companies. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year. The balance sheet information as of December 31, 2025 was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on April 15, 2026. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.
Estimates
The preparation 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Material estimates relate to the assumptions made in determining estimates for credit loss reserves for accounts receivable, assumptions used in valuing inventories at net realizable value, impairment testing of recorded long-term assets, the realizability of deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowance, accruals for warranty reserves, accruals for potential liabilities, assumptions made in valuing stock instruments issued for services, and assumptions used in the determination of the Company’s liquidity. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contract(s), which includes (1) identifying the contract(s) or agreement(s) with a customer, (2) identifying the Company’s performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied.
Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from product sales. Product revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs for the Company upon shipment or delivery of products or services to its customers based on written sales terms, which is also when control is transferred. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the products or services to a customer. The Company determines whether delivery has occurred based on when title transfers and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, which usually occurs when the Company places the product with the customer’s carrier or delivers assured. the product to a customer’s location. The Company regularly reviews its customers’ financial positions to ensure that collectability is reasonably
The Company also recognizes revenues from engineering services, technical support, and sale of accessories that support the Company’s direct current, or DC, power systems. Revenue is recognized when transfer of control to the customer has been made and the Company’s performance obligation has been fulfilled. The Company’s revenue from engineering services, technical support services, and product accessories are clearly defined in each transaction with its customers and have not been significant to date.
The Company also recognizes revenues from the rental of equipment. The Company’s rental revenues have not been significant to date and were $nil for the periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The Company’s rental contracts are fixed price contracts for fixed durations of time and include freight and delivery charges and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the rental period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, international sales totaled $78 and $302 respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. The Company records adjustments to its inventory based on an estimated forecast of the inventory demand, taking into consideration, among others, inventory turnover, inventory quantities on hand, unfilled customer order quantities, forecasted demand, current prices, competitive pricing, and trends and performance of similar products. If the estimated net realizable value is determined to be less than the recorded cost of the inventory, the difference is recognized as a loss in the period in which it occurs. Once inventory has been written down, it creates a new cost basis for inventory that may not be subsequently written up. There wereno write downs of inventory for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, inventories consisted of the following:
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| (unaudited) | ||
| Raw materials | $8,726 | $8,704 |
| Finished goods | 821 | 721 |
| Total Inventories | $9,547 | $9,425 |
Product Warranties
The Company provides limited warranties for parts and labor at no cost to its customers within a specified time period after the sale. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a warranty reserve of $600. During the period ended March 31, 2026, the Company adjusted the warranty reserve to $150 after conducting a reserve study of warranty expense over the previous three years. The results of the study indicate warranty expense has decreased as a result diminishing number of products sold with warranty over the last four years and an increase in sold products with warranty falling off the warranty period. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the Company had accrued a liability for warranty reserve of $150 and $600, respectively, which are included in other accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed balance sheets. The following is a tabular reconciliation of the product warranty liability, excluding the deferred revenue related to the Company’s warranty coverage:
| Changes in estimates for warranties | March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| (unaudited) | ||
| Balance at beginning of the period | $600 | $600 |
| Payments | (23) | (67) |
| Provision for warranties | (427) | 67 |
| Balance at end of the period | $150 | $600 |
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company periodically issues stock-based compensation to officers, directors, and consultants for services rendered. Such issuances vest and expire according to terms established at the issuance date.
Stock-based payments to employees, directors, and for acquiring goods and services from non-employees, which include grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values in accordance with ASC 718,Compensation-Stock Compensation. Stock option grants to employees, which are generally time vested, are measured at the grant date fair value and depending on the conditions associated with the vesting of the award, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line or graded basis over the vesting period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services. The fair value of stock options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life, and future dividends. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
The Company uses various inputs in determining the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities. Financial assets recorded at fair value in the balance sheets are categorized by the level of objectivity associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.
Authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) defines the following levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these financial assets:
| Level 1 | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| Level 2 | Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that is observable either directly or indirectly. |
| Level 3 | Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions. |
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying values of the notes and loans payable approximate their fair values since the interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates.

Net Loss Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential shares of common stock had been issued using the treasury stock method. Potential shares of common stock are excluded from the computation when their effect is antidilutive. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted net income per share if the exercise prices were lower than the average fair market value of shares of common stock during the reporting period.
The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:
| March 31, 2026 | March 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| (Unaudited) | (Unaudited) | |

In March 2026, the Company paid $250 to Pinnacle and timely complied with the requirements under the Forbearance Agreement and commenced taking advances at 42.5% of the Net Face Amount of Eligible Accounts on March 12, 2026. While the Company expects to stay in compliance and pay the full obligation to Pinnacle by July 31, 2026, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to do so. If the Company is unable to comply with the Loan Agreement, or pay the full obligation to Pinnacle by the July 31, 2026, Pinnacle may immediately enforce its claims, rights, liens, and security interests under the Forbearance Agreement, and the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, taking possession of its collateral, or any portion thereof, and foreclosing upon its collateral, or any portion thereof, in accordance with the Loan Documents and applicable law.

NOTE 6 –OPERATING LEASES
The Company manufactures and assembles its DC power systems at its two production facilities located in Gardena, California under two operating lease agreements that expire in 2026, requiring aggregate monthly payments of $125. The balance of the right of use asset assets and lease obligations at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, was $172 and $278, respectively. During 2025 the Company became delinquent in its rent payments to its landlords for its office and warehouse facilities. The landlord for its headquarters and manufacturing facility at 249 E. Gardena Blvd., Gardena, California filed a summons for eviction on October 24, 2025. On February 23, 2026, the landlord stopped the actions for eviction and continued discussions with the Company to resolve the delinquent rents and expired lease agreement. The Company expects to be in the position to make significant payment towards the delinquent rents in the near term and/or provide a payment plan mutually agreeable to both parties. The landlord for the other facility for which the Company is delinquent on rent, has not served the Company any legal documents or assessed late fees for the delinquent rent. However, they may do so in the future. The Company is also negotiating with this landlord on a payment plan for the delinquent rent. While the Company is negotiating with both landlords in good faith on payment plans, there is no guarantee that it and the landlords could reach an agreement on a payment plan, or that even if they reached an agreement, the Company could raise sufficient capital to pay the delinquent rent. It is possible that the Company will be forced to vacate from any or all facilities, and if that happens, it might have difficulty locating a new headquarters, or new manufacturing or warehouse facilities that are adequate, in a timely manner. The Company’s production could be significantly delayed, access to its inventory could be impaired, and its operations could halt for a significant period of time.
Due to the circumstances described above, during 2025 the Company recorded total impairment charges of $455, which included $347 related to right-of-use asset on its headquarters and manufacturing facility, and $108 related to lease deposits. These charges were recorded in impairment of lease right-of-use assets and lease deposits in the Company’s Statements of Operations as of December 31, 2025. Right of use assets as of March 31, 2026 of $172 on the accompanying balance sheet represents the remaining right of use asset under its other facility which the Company expects to utilize until August 2026. As of March 31, 2026, the remaining lease obligation for both leases is $197 plus $858 in past due lease payments that is included in accounts payable.
The Company also has a third lease on a month-to-month basis and is charged $25 per month. As of March 31, 2026, $213 is owed on the lease which is included in accounts payable.

The payment under the note is due April 10, 2027 with finance charges of 18%.
On May 1, 2026, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (the “Nasdaq”) stating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards under the Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, specifically Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) which requires the Company to have a minimum shareholders’ equity of $2.5 million. The Company reported $144 in stockholders’ equity in its Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2025, filed April 30, 2026. The Nasdaq letter granted the Company 45 days, or until June 15, 2026, to provide a plan to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million for continued listing. If the plan is accepted by Nasdaq, the company may be extended to 180 calendar days from May 1, 2026, to evidence compliance. The Company intends to submit such a plan to Nasdaq. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, or if it accepts the plan but the Company does not then regain compliance by the 180-day deadline, Nasdaq will begin delisting procedures, which the Company may appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
On May 13, 2026, the Company entered into a Revolving Loan Agreement (the “Stone Loan Agreement”) with Stone Brothers Capital (the “Lender”). The Stone Loan Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility under which the Lender may, in its sole discretion upon the request of the Company, make loans (the “Loans”) to the Company, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $2,500,000. Each Loan shall bear interest accruing at an annual rate of 12%.
On May 14, 2026, Keith Albrecht and Katherine Koster, two of the Company’s independent directors, resigned as members of the Board of the Company, effective May 19, 2026. On May 18, 2026, Keith Albrecht rescinded his resignation as a director, and the Board approved the rescinding of Keith Albrecht’s resignation, effective immediately.
On May 18, 2026, the Company sent a written termination notice to the Lender to terminate the Loan Agreement. The termination is effective after five business days. The Lender has not made any loans to the Company as of May 18, 2026.
Headquarters and Warehouse Facilities
On May 11, 2026, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with the landlord for each of its headquarters facility and its warehouse facility that became effective as of May 7, 2026. The Settlement Agreement addressed the matter of delinquent rents and an expired lease. Regarding the Company’s headquarters facility, the Company agreed to make immediate payment of $400 towards past due rents, and the landlord agreed to cease eviction procedures. The landlord also agreed to extend the property lease commencing June 1, 2026, to April 1, 2027, and reduce the monthly rent from $84 to $55. Regarding the warehouse facility, the Company agreed to vacate the facility by August 31, 2026 and leave the premises in the condition required by the relevant lease agreement; in exchange, the landlord agreed to waive rents for the months of June, July, and August 2026. Each landlord reserved the right to charge for any waived rents or continue with eviction action should the Company fail to meet the requirements listed in the Settlement Agreement. The Company also may have to pay liquidated damages if it fails to vacate the properties in the event either or both landlords decide to exercise their rights for eviction.
As of May 19, 2026, the Company had not made a payment per the Settlement Agreement, and on May 19, 2026, the landlord for the Company’s headquarters facility evicted the Company from that facility. The headquarters facility is where the Company, among other things, has its offices, conducts design work, and assembles and tests it products. The Company is currently relocating these activities to its warehouse facility. The Company is continuing its operations, but expects there to be disruptions and difficulties with this change. Further, if the landlord for the warehouse facility were to evict the Company from that facility, the Company could have difficulty finding an appropriate location from which to operate its business, which would have a material adverse effect on its operations, financial results and financial condition.
As of the date hereof, the Company is pursuing third-party financing that it would use to pay the landlords and certain other expenses. There is no guarantee that Company will raise sufficient capital to pay the delinquent rent or that the landlord for the headquarters facility would agree to let the Company use that facility if the Company were to pay the rent. It is possible that the Company will be forced to vacate from both facilities, and if that happens, it may have difficulty securing new headquarters, or new manufacturing or warehouse facilities that are adequate. Our production could be significantly delayed, access to our inventory could be impaired, and our operations could halt for a significant period of time. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was delinquent in $858 of rent to these landlords which is included in accounts payable.
