Previous wording
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that have an impact on the asset, liability, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect our supplemental information disclosures, including information about contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe, given current facts and circumstances, that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, adhere to U.S. GAAP, and are consistently applied. Inherent in the nature of an estimate or assumption is the fact that actual results may differ from estimates and estimates may vary as new facts and circumstances arise. We make routine estimates and judgments in determining net realizable value of accounts receivable, inventories, property and equipment, prepaid expenses, product warranties and other reserves as well as the amortization period for deferred commissions payable. Management believes our most critical accounting estimates and assumptions are in the area of valuation allowance.

PG hardware revenue decreased $956,000, or 56.9% during the first three-month period ended March 31, 2026 to $725,000, as compared to $1,681,000 during the first three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in PG revenue was primarily due to the sales under our material contract in the prior year period and the decrease in revenue recognized from amortization of deferred hardware, as we near the final recognition of the remaining balance of revenue that was previously deferred. PG monitoring revenue increased $152,000, or 12.6%, due to an increase in the number of connections being monitored and growth in our customer base.
Current wording
As discussed above, OmniMetrix has three reportable segments, PG, CP and IS. Of the $4,716,000 in revenue recognized in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, $4,450,000 was generated by PG activities and $266,000 was generated by CP activities. This represents a decrease in revenue from PG activities of $1,797,000, or 28.8%, from $6,247,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, and a decrease in revenue from CP activities of $110,000, or 29.3%, from $376,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2025. The IS segment remained in a pre-revenue stage and generated no revenue in either period. The decrease in PG revenue was primarily due to the sales under our Material Contract in the prior year period and the decrease in revenue recognized from amortization of deferred hardware, as we near the final recognition of the remaining balance of revenue that was previously deferred. The decrease in CP revenue was due to fewer CP hardware sales in the current-year period as compared to the prior-year period.
