Previous report

We have been evicted from our headquarters facility and may face eviction from our warehouse facility; it we fail to have appropriate facilities to operate our business, our operations, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.

Previous report

On May 11, 2026, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with the landlord for each of our headquarters facility and our warehouse facility that became effective as of May 7, 2026. The Settlement Agreement addressed the matter of delinquent rents and an expired lease. Regarding our headquarters facility, we agreed to make immediate payment of $400,000 towards past due rents, and the landlord agreed to cease eviction procedures. The landlord also agreed to extend the property lease from June 1, 2026, to April 1, 2027, and reduce the monthly rent from $84,000 to $55,000. Regarding the warehouse facility, we 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 we fail to meet the requirements listed in the Settlement Agreement. We also may have to pay liquidated damages if we fail to vacate the properties in the event either or both landlords decide to exercise their rights for eviction.

Previous report

On May 19, 2026, the landlord for our headquarters facility evicted us from that facility. The headquarters facility is where we, among other things, have our offices, conduct design work, and assemble and tests our products. We are currently relocating these activities to our warehouse facility. We are continuing our operations, but expect there to be disruptions and difficulties with this change. Further, if the landlord for the warehouse facility were to evict us from that facility, we could have difficulty finding an appropriate location from which to operate our business, which would have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial results and financial condition.

Previous report

As of the date hereof, we are pursuing third-party financing that we would use to pay the landlords and certain other expenses. There is no guarantee that we will raise sufficient capital to pay the delinquent rent or that the landlord for the headquarters facility would agree to let us use that facility if we were to pay the rent. It is possible that we will be forced to vacate from both facilities, and if that happens, we 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.
Reworded paragraphs (9)

Previous wording

We have incurred significant losses in the past. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we incurred net losses of approximately $9.1 million and $4.6 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we realized a net loss of approximately $178. We may incur net and gross losses in the future. We expect to rely on cash on hand, cash, if any, generated from our operations, borrowing availability under our line of credit and proceeds from our future financing activities, if any, to fund all of the cash requirements of our business. Additional losses may hamper our operations and impede us from expanding our business.

Additional losses may hamper our operations and impede us from expanding our business.

Previous wording

We face inventory risk and may be required to write-off additional inventory in the future.

Current wording

Previous wording

We have established relationships with third-party engine suppliers and other key suppliers from which we source components for our power systems. We purchase standard configurations of engines for our DC power systems and are substantially dependent on timely supply from our key engine suppliers, Yanmar Engines Company, Toyota Corporation, and Engine Distributors Inc. (for Ford engines). Engines from Yanmar Engines Company, Toyota Corporation, and Engine Distributors Inc. (for Ford engines) represented approximately 74%, 2%, and 21% of our total engines sold as a component of our DC power systems during the three months ended March 31, 2026, respectively, and represented approximately 88%, nil%, and 13% of our total engines sold as components of our DC power systems during the three months ended March 31, 2025, respectively. We also use engines from Perkins, Isuzu, Kubota and, to a lesser extent, Volvo Penta. We do not have any long-term contracts or commitments with any of these suppliers or other key suppliers from which we source components for our power systems. We currently have past due accounts with many of our key suppliers. If any of these engine suppliers or key component suppliers were to fail to provide qualified engines or components in a timely manner or fail to supply engines or components that meet our quality, quantity or cost requirements, or were to discontinue manufacturing any engines or components we source from them or discontinue providing any of these engines or components to us, or the supply chain is interrupted or delayed as a result of a pandemic or unprecedented event, or if suppliers decide stop supplying engines or components due to past due accounts if we do not bring these accounts current or negotiate a payment plan in a timely manner, and we were unable to obtain substitute sources in a timely manner or on terms acceptable to us, our ability to manufacture our products could be materially adversely affected.

We purchase standard configurations of engines for our DC power systems and are substantially dependent on timely supply from our key engine suppliers, Yanmar Engines Company (“Yanmar), Toyota Corporation (“Toyota”), and Engine Distributors Inc. (for “Ford” engines). Engines from Yanmar, Toyota, and Ford represented approximately 100%, nil%, and nil% of our total engines sold as a component of our DC power systems during the three months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and represented approximately 67%, 11%, and 22% of our total engines sold as components of our DC power systems during the three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Engines from Yanmar, Toyota, and Ford represented approximately 80%, 1%, and 16% of our total engines sold as a component of our DC power systems during the six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and represented approximately 77%, 6%, and 12% of our total engines sold as components of our DC power systems during the three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. We also use engines from Perkins, Isuzu, Kubota and, to a lesser extent, Volvo Penta.

Previous wording

In addition to our sales to customers within the U.S., we may become increasingly dependent on sales to customers outside the U.S. as we pursue expanding our business with customers worldwide. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, our sales to international customers accounted for 5% and 18%, respectively, of total revenue. We continue to expect that a significant portion of our future revenues will be from international sales to customers in less developed or developing countries. As a result, the occurrence of any international, political, economic, or geographic event including changes in trade policy, tariffs, and/or export/import laws and regulations could result in a significant increase in the cost of materials used in our production and/or a significant decline in revenue.

Previous wording

Security vulnerabilities may arise from our hardware, software, employees, contractors or policies we have deployed, which may result in external parties gaining access to our networks, data centers, cloud data centers, corporate computers, manufacturing systems, and/or access to accounts we have at our suppliers, vendors, and customers. External parties may gain access to our data or our customers’ data, or attack the networks causing denial of service or attempt to hold our data or systems in ransom. The vulnerability could be caused by inadequate account security practices such as failure to timely remove employee access when terminated. To mitigate these security issues, we have implemented measures throughout our organization, including firewalls, backups, encryption, employee information technology policies and user account policies. However, there can be no assurance these measures will be sufficient to avoid cyberattacks. If any of these types of security breaches were to occur and we were unable to protect sensitive data, our relationships with our business partners and customers could be materially damaged, our reputation could be materially harmed, and we could be exposed to a risk of litigation and possible significant liability.

Previous wording

Our operating results have fluctuated significantly from quarter-to-quarter, period-to-period and year-to-year during our operating history and are likely to continue to fluctuate in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Certain factors that may affect our operating results include, without limitation, those set forth under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies” in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Previous wording

Due to these factors and the other risks discussed in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, you should not rely on quarter-to-quarter, period-to-period or year-to-year comparisons of our results of operations as an indication of our future performance. Quarterly, period and annual comparisons of our operating results are not necessarily meaningful or indicative of future performance. As a result, it is likely that, from time to time, our results of operations or our revenue backlog could fall below historical levels or the expectations of public market analysts and investors, which could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline significantly.

Previous wording

Our Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary, Arthur D. Sams, beneficially owns approximately 22% of our outstanding shares of common stock. Mr. Sams therefore has significant influence over management and significant control over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the annual election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our company or our assets, for the foreseeable future. This concentrated control may limit stockholders’ ability to influence corporate matters and, as a result, we may take actions that our stockholders do not view as beneficial. As a result, the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected.
