Current report

On August 8, 2025, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement with Ladenburg Thalmann &Co. Inc., under which the Company may, from time to time, offer and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $40.0 million. The shares will be offered pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3, including the related prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on August 8, 2025.

Current report

Sales, if any, will be made in transactions deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, directly on or through the NYSE American or in negotiated transactions as otherwise permitted under the Sales Agreement. The Company is not obligated to sell any shares under the Ladenburg sales agreement and may suspend or terminate the offering at any time.

Current report

A total of 16,192,137 shares were sold under the Ladenburg sales agreement during the year ended April 30, 2026 totaling proceeds of $7.4 million.

Current report

In June 2026 Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional accredited investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of its common stock, together with warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 25,000,000 additional shares of common stock (the “Warrants”). The combined purchase price for each share of common stock and accompanying Warrant was $0.40. The Warrants become exercisable on the six-month anniversary of the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $0.40 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. This agreement resulted in $7.1 million in net proceeds to the Company. The Warrants expire on the sixth anniversary of the initial exercise date.

Current report

Existing customers are subject to ongoing credit evaluations based on payment history and other factors. If it is determined that collectability of any portion of the contract value is not probable, an analysis of variable consideration will be performed using either the most likely amount or expected value method to determine the amount of revenue that must be constrained until the scenario causing the variability has been resolved.

Current report

The Company has elected to record taxes collected from customers on a net basis and does not include tax amounts in revenue or costs of revenue.

Current report

Revenue for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2026 decrease of approximately $2.1 million related to the timing of deliveries on current year projects versus the prior year contracts of WAM-Vs.

Current report

Cost of revenues for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2026 increase of approximately $5.5 million is related primarily to the recognition of one-time losses associated with contracts in strategically important markets, including $0.7 million related to revenue and cost of goods sold at no margin to the Company for change orders on existing contract. The expenses and revenues associated with these projects will continue over the next several months.

Current report

Operating expenses for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2026 increased of approximately $9.1 million was primarily the result of the significant increases in share-based compensation of $4.9 million, increases in employee-related expenses of $1.5 million, an increase in professional fees of $0.9 million, and increases in credit loss expense of $0.8 million.

Current report

Interest (expense)/income for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2026 and 2025 was ($2.8) million and $47,000, respectively, with the change primarily related to interest expenses associated with the May 2025, October 2025 and April 2026 convertible notes.

Current report

Other (expense) income, net for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2026 increase of $0.8 million is primarily related to impairment expense for fixed assets of $0.8 million and a litigation settlement of $0.2 million, offset by insurance proceeds of $0.2 million in the current year.

Current report

The change in the fair value of derivatives for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2026 and 2025 was $5.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The increase is a result of the fair value of the current years financial instruments in association with the convertible debt issued in May and October of 2025 and April 2026 in fiscal 2026 and the convertible debt issued in December 2024 for fiscal 2025.

Current report

Net cash used in investing activities during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026 was $4.0 million, compared to $0.5 million during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, a change of $3.5 million. The net cash used in investing activities during fiscal year ended April 30, 2026 was due to the purchase of property, plant and equipment.

Current report

In recent periods, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued certain Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) that may be relevant to the Company’s operations and financial reporting. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of these ASUs and adopting them when applicable based on their effective dates.

Current report

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets ASU 2025-05. ASU 2025-05 provides a practical expedient that all entities can use when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under this practical expedient, an entity is allowed to assume that the current conditions it has applied in determining credit loss allowances for current accounts receivable and current contract assets remain unchanged for the remaining life of those assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after March 17, 2026, and interim reporting periods in those years. Entities that elect the practical expedient and, if applicable, make the accounting policy election are required to apply the amendments prospectively. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting ASU 2025-05 on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Current report

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which clarifies and modernizes certain aspects of the accounting for, and disclosure of, internal-use software costs. The ASU removes all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Current report

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270) which is intended to streamline the guidance in ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and clarify when it applies. Under the amendments, an entity is subject to ASC 270 if it provides interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP. ASU 2025-11 also addresses the form and content of such financial statements, interim disclosures requirements, and establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Removed paragraphs (27)

Previous report

The U.S. federal election cycle in late 2024, followed by an extended period of political and administrative transition through late January 2025, resulted in a temporary standstill across multiple federal agencies, procurement offices, and budgeting authorities. This standstill delayed the finalization of fiscal year 2025 appropriations and temporarily paused decision-making within key federal entities, including those critical to our government-facing business lines such as the DoD, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Energy (DOE), and intelligence community customers.

Previous report

As a result, we experienced delays in program funding visibility, new contract solicitations, and procurement-related communications from certain U.S. government customers during this transitional period. Although normal operations have largely resumed since late January 2025, the delayed award cycle may shift the timing of revenue recognition, contract execution, and cash collections associated with targeted government opportunities. While we remain confident in the long-term demand for our autonomous platforms and maritime intelligence solutions, the early portion of calendar year 2025 reflected an uncertain operating environment marked by deferred awards and extended federal acquisition timelines.

Previous report

In May 2025, the U.S. government expanded tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 on a variety of Chinese-origin components. OPT sources most of its products from U.S. based companies and sources very little from China, however, these changes could result in higher costs for certain imported materials used in our manufacturing process. In the near term, we expect these tariff changes to have a modest but measurable impact on the cost of goods sold.

Previous report

Global monetary tightening, led by the Federal Reserve and other central banks, contributed to higher interest rates and constrained liquidity conditions across the capital markets. These conditions have increased the cost of capital for emerging growth companies like OPT and may impact customer funding timelines, particularly in our commercial segments.

Previous report

In the fall of 2024, we completed an equity financing round, issuing shares of our common stock to raise approximately $3.0 million in gross proceeds. This capital infusion was instrumental in funding our ongoing product development, expanding our sales and marketing efforts, and enhancing our working capital position. The equity raises also provided us with the financial flexibility to pursue new market opportunities and strategic partnerships.

Previous report

On December 20, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Investor”) under which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in one or more registered public offerings by the Company directly to the Investor (the “Offering”), senior convertible notes for up to an aggregate principal amount of $54.0 million (the “Notes”) that will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. On December 20, 2024 (the “Initial Closing Date”), the Company issued and sold to the Investor a Note in the original principal amount of $4.0 million (the “Initial Note”). Upon our filing of one or more additional prospectus supplements, and our satisfaction of certain other conditions, the Securities Purchase Agreement contemplates additional closings of up to $50 million in aggregate principal amount of additional Notes, upon mutual agreement of the Company and the Investor. The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. It also grants the Investor the right to participate in certain future equity and equity-linked transactions of the Company from the Initial Closing Date through the 3-year anniversary thereof, as well as certain anti-dilution rights applicable to the Notes. No Note may be converted to the extent that such conversion would cause the then holder of such Note to become the beneficial owner of more than 4.99%, or, at the option of such holder, 9.99% of the then outstanding common stock, after giving effect to such conversion (the “Beneficial Ownership Cap”).

Previous report

These capital raises have strengthened our financial position, enabling us to invest in key growth areas. We remain committed to prudent financial management and will continue to assess our capital needs in alignment with our strategic objectives.

Previous report

While OPT remains committed to expanding its international footprint and serving customers globally, the Company has also taken steps to streamline its legal and operational structure to improve efficiency and reduce administrative overhead. As part of this initiative, the Company completed the wind-down of its Australian subsidiary during fiscal 2024 and began the wind-down of its UK subsidiary during the same period. The wind-down of the UK entity was completed during fiscal 2025. These decisions were not reflective of a diminished international focus, but rather represent a strategic reallocation of resources toward regions and engagement models better aligned with current customer demand, strategic partnerships, and long-term growth potential. OPT’s international business development continues through:

Previous report

Revenue for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 were approximately $5.9 million and $5.5 million, respectively, representing an increase of approximately $0.4 million. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher levels of revenue stemming from the sales and leases of WAM-Vs.

Previous report

Cost of revenues for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 were approximately $4.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, representing an increase of approximately $1.5 million. The year-over-year increase is related to an increase in revenue and a change in product mix, and some current year product offerings at lower margin as a means to gain market share.

Previous report

The change in fair value of contingent consideration for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, and 2024 was zero and a gain of $0.1 million, respectively. The prior year amount was due to changes in actual and forecasted bookings relating to the WAM-V offerings.

Previous report

Our operating expenses include both product development costs (substantially completed during fiscal year 2024) as well as administrative costs, including the costs of products, materials and outside services used in our product development and unfunded research activities. Also included are professional fees, salaries and other personnel-related costs for employees and consultants engaged in sales and marketing and costs for executive, accounting and administrative personnel, and other general corporate expenses. Operating expenses during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025 were $23.3 million as compared to $32.2 million for fiscal year 2024. The decrease of approximately $8.9 million was primarily the result of the significant cost reduction activities we implemented at the end of fiscal 2024 including headcount optimization, material reductions in third party spend, and efforts to tightly control and contain costs.

Previous report

Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash was $6.9 million as of April 30, 2025, compared to $3.3 million as of April 30, 2024. Interest income, net was approximately $47,000 and $800,000 for fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively, and reflects no short-term investments during fiscal 2025 and the decreased balance of our short-term investments throughout fiscal 2024. Short-term investments balance was higher throughout fiscal 2024 and yielded higher interest rates than cash held in bank accounts during fiscal 2025.

Previous report

Other (expense)/income for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 was (23,000) and $2,000, respectively.

Previous report

The loss on disposition of assets of $0.2 million as of April 30, 2024 relates to the disposal of intangible and fixed assets related to the disposition of 3Dent Technology, LLC in November 2023.

Previous report

Foreign exchange loss was $45,000 for fiscal year 2025 as compared to a foreign exchange gain of approximately $2,000 for fiscal year 2024. The difference was attributable to the relative change in value of the British pound sterling dollar compared to the U.S. dollar.

Previous report

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $0.5 million for fiscal year 2025 versus net cash provided by investing activities of approximately $25.5 million for fiscal year 2024. During fiscal 2025, the Company purchased $0.5 million in property and equipment, down from $2.6 million during fiscal 2024. The remainder of the difference relates to purchases and redemptions of short-term investments during fiscal 2024, which fully matured in fiscal 2024.

Previous report

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This ASU improves financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard beginning in fiscal 2025 and all required segment related disclosures are presented within this Form 10-K and will be in subsequent interim reports on Form 10-Q. Refer to Note 15 for further discussion.
Reworded paragraphs (27)

Previous wording

We continue to monitor federal budget developments, appropriations activity, and agency guidance to assess downstream effects on pipeline conversion and resource allocation. We believe our active positioning in mission-critical domains, including persistent maritime surveillance, energy resilience, and multi-domain autonomy, will allow us to capitalize on pent-up demand as deferred contract opportunities move forward in the second half of calendar year 2025. However, additional political disruptions or appropriations delays could further affect our operating results and cash flow.

Current wording

We continue to monitor federal budget developments, appropriations activity, agency guidance, and broader geopolitical events to assess downstream effects on pipeline conversion and resource allocation. During fiscal 2026, the U.S. Government operated under two continuing resolutions, experienced two temporary government shutdowns, and faced delays in the enactment of a full-year defense appropriation. In addition, heightened geopolitical tensions, including the conflict involving Iran, contributed to shifting government priorities and procurement timing across portions of the defense market. These factors resulted in delays in certain customer procurement activities, contract awards, and program funding decisions. While the timing of these opportunities remains uncertain, we believe our active positioning in mission-critical domains, including persistent maritime surveillance, energy resilience, and multi-domain autonomy, positions us well to compete for these opportunities as procurement activity resumes. However, additional political disruptions, appropriations delays, geopolitical instability, or changes in government priorities could further delay customer decisions and adversely affect our operating results, cash flows, and the timing of future contract awards.

Previous wording

Inflationary pressures may impact the cost of key inputs used in products. Although pricing volatility began to moderate in the latter half of fiscal 2025, we may experience elevated vendor pricing compared to pre-pandemic levels. To partially offset these pressures, we have implemented cost optimization measures, adjusted pricing on new contracts, and re-evaluated supplier agreements.

Current wording

Inflationary pressures may impact the cost of key inputs used in products. To partially offset these pressures, we have implemented cost optimization measures, adjusted pricing on new contracts, and re-evaluated supplier agreements.

Previous wording

Despite these headwinds, our diversified contract base including U.S. federal government agencies, strategic defense contractors, and energy developers—continues to support revenue visibility. We remain focused on cost discipline, capital efficiency, and maintaining operational flexibility as macroeconomic uncertainty persists into fiscal 2026.

Current wording

Despite these headwinds, our diversified contract base, including U.S. federal government agencies, strategic defense contractors, and energy developers, provides a foundation for future revenue generation.

Previous wording

During fiscal year 2025 and subsequently, we undertook two significant capital raising activities to support our strategic initiatives and operational needs.

Current wording

During fiscal years 2025, 2026 and subsequently, we undertook various capital raising activities to support our strategic initiatives and operational needs.

Previous wording

On March 21, 2024, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Offering Agreement with an aggregate offering price of up to $7.0 million (the “2023 ATM Facility”). On August 30, 2024 the aggregate offering price under the 2023 ATM Facility was increased to approximately $16.0 million. It was then reduced to approximately $2.9 million in September 2024 and increased again to approximately $60.0 million in December 2024. As of April 30, 2025, the Company had received proceeds of approximately $17.7 million under this facility and an additional $0.3 million between April 30, 2025 and June 16, 2025.

Current wording

On August 30, 2024 the aggregate offering price under the 2023 ATM Facility was increased to approximately $16.0 million. It was then reduced to approximately $2.9 million in September 2024 and increased again to approximately $60.0 million in December 2024. The Company received proceeds of approximately $18.0 million under this facility prior to termination of the facility effective August 8, 2025.

Previous wording

Separate from the December 2024 transaction noted above, in May 2025 we issued $10 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes with a 24-month maturity to new institutional investors with net proceeds of $9.7 million. The notes are convertible into shares of our common stock under specific terms outlined in the Securities Purchase Agreement and Indenture. This financing was aimed at bolstering our balance sheet, supporting the commercialization of our systems, and advancing our autonomous maritime solutions. The convertible debt structure offers the potential for conversion into equity, which may result in dilution to existing shareholders upon conversion.

Current wording

In May 2025 we issued $10.0 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes with a 24-month maturity to new institutional investors with net proceeds of $9.7 million. The notes are convertible into shares of our common stock under specific terms outlined in the Securities Purchase Agreement and Indenture. This financing was aimed at providing us with additional liquidity, supporting the commercialization of our systems, and advancing our autonomous maritime solutions. On October 7, 2025, we issued and sold to the investors $6.5 million of additional notes. On April 1, 2026, the Company issued and sold a new class of senior convertible notes (the “Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million. These notes replaced all outstanding balances then outstanding under the May 2025 and October 2025 convertible note issuances. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum and mature eighteen months from issuance unless earlier converted or repaid. Upon an event of default, the interest rate increases to 13.0% per annum. At maturity, the Notes are payable at 113% of their principal amount. The Notes are convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.40 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. A holder may not convert any portion of a Note to the extent such conversion would cause the holder to beneficially own more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Beginning on the closing date, the Notes are subject to quarterly cash amortization payments through maturity. The Notes rank senior to the Company’s unsecured indebtedness, subject to certain exceptions, and contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on indebtedness, liens, restricted payments, asset transfers, changes in business, and affiliate transactions. The Notes also contain customary events of default. With exception to the ATM proceeds, at the discretion of the lender, the Company may be required to reserve up to 30% of the net proceeds related to future capital raises to repay this note.

Previous wording

The sale of additional equity under new facilities could result in dilution to our shareholders. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities or preferred stock, these securities could have rights senior to those associated with our common stock and could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. The Company cannot be certain that additional equity and/or debt financing will be available to the Company as needed on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain required financing when needed, we may be required to reduce the scope of our operations, including our planned incremental product development and marketing efforts, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and operating results. If we are unable to secure additional financing, we may be forced to cease our operations.

Previous wording

As of April 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s backlog was $12.5 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The backlog represents the value of unfulfilled, purchase orders and agreements with commercial and governmental customers. If any of our contracts were to be terminated, our backlog would be reduced by the expected value of the remaining terms of such contract.

Current wording

As of April 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company’s backlog was $20.1 million and $12.5 million, respectively. The backlog represents the value of unfulfilled, purchase orders and agreements with commercial and governmental customers. If any of our contracts were to be terminated, our backlog would be reduced by the expected value of the remaining terms of such contract.

Previous wording

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606 (ASC 606) for contracts with customers and Accounting Standards Codification 842 (ASC 842) for leasing arrangements. In relation to ASC 606, which states that a performance obligation is the unit of account for revenue recognition, the Company assesses the goods or services promised in a contract with a customer and identifies as a performance obligation as either: a) a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct; or b) a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. A contract may contain a single performance obligation or multiple performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contracted transaction price to each performance obligation based upon the relative standalone selling price, which represents the price the Company would sell a promised good or service separately to a customer. The Company determines the standalone selling price based upon the facts and circumstances of each obligated good or service. When no observable standalone selling price is available, the standalone selling price is generally estimated based upon the Company’s forecast of the total cost to satisfy the performance obligation plus an appropriate profit margin.

Current wording

Previous wording

The nature of the Company’s contracts may give rise to several types of variable consideration, including unpriced change orders, liquidated damages and penalties. Variable consideration can also arise from modifications to the scope of services. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur once the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include such amounts in the transaction price are based largely on the assessment of legal enforceability, performance, and any other information (historical, current, and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. There was no variable consideration as of April 30, 2025 or 2024. The Company presents shipping and handling costs, that occur after control of the promised goods or services transfer to the customer, as fulfilment costs in costs of revenues and regular shipping and handling activities charged to operating expenses.

The Company presents shipping and handling costs, that occur after control of the promised goods or services transfer to the customer, as fulfillment costs in costs of goods sold and regular shipping and handling activities charged to operating expenses.

Previous wording

The Company recognizes revenue when or as it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a good or service to a customer, either (1) at a point in time or (2) over time. A good or service is transferred when or as the customer obtains control (e.g., upon shipment, upon delivery, as services are rendered, or upon completion of service), including when performance obligations are satisfied in a bill-and-hold arrangement. The evaluation of whether control of each performance obligation is transferred at a point in time or over time is made at contract inception. Input measures such as costs incurred are utilized to assess progress against specific contractual performance obligations for the Company’s services. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the services to be provided. For the Company, the input method using costs or labor hours incurred best represents the measure of progress against the performance obligations incorporated within the contractual agreements. If estimated total costs on any contract project a loss, the Company charges the entire estimated loss to operations in the period the loss becomes known. The cumulative effect of revisions to revenue, estimated costs to complete contracts, including penalties, change orders, claims, anticipated losses, and others are recorded in the accounting period in which the events indicating a loss are known and the loss can be reasonably estimated. These loss projections are re-assessed for each subsequent reporting period until the project is complete. Such revisions could occur at any time and the effects may be material. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025 the Company recognized approximately $4.9 million in revenue related to performance obligations satisfied at a point in time and approximately $1.0 million in revenue related to performance obligations satisfied over time as compared to $3.6 million in revenue related to performance obligations satisfied at a point in time and $1.9 million in revenue related to performance obligations satisfied over time revenue for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024.

Input measures such as costs incurred are utilized to assess progress against specific contractual performance obligations for the Company’s services. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the services to be provided. For the Company, the input method using costs or labor hours incurred best represents the measure of progress against the performance obligations incorporated within the contractual agreements. If estimated total costs on any contract project a loss, the Company charges the entire estimated loss to operations in the period the loss becomes known. For the quarter ended January 31, 2026 the Company recorded one-time losses associated with two contracts in strategically important markets. The expenses associated with these projects are now substantially complete, although they will continue to generate revenue over the next several months. Importantly, our core programs and commercial pipeline continue to demonstrate improving margin quality and operating leverage. The cumulative effect of revisions to revenue, estimated costs to complete contracts, including penalties, change orders, claims, anticipated losses, and others are recorded in the accounting period in which the events indicating a loss are known and the loss can be reasonably estimated. These loss projections are re-assessed for each subsequent reporting period until the project is complete. Such revisions could occur at any time and the effects may be material. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026 the Company recognized approximately $2.4 million in revenue related to performance obligations satisfied at a point in time and approximately $0.7 million in revenue related to performance obligations satisfied over time as compared to $4.9 million in revenue related to performance obligations satisfied at a point in time and $1.0 million in revenue related to performance obligations satisfied over time revenue for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025.

Current wording

The Company’s contracts are either cost-plus contracts, fixed-price contracts, time and material agreements, lease agreements or service agreements. Under cost-plus contracts, customers are billed for actual costs incurred plus an agreed-upon fee. Under fixed-price contracts, customers are billed based on contractually agreed pricing for specified deliverables or services. Under time-and-materials agreements, customers are billed based on negotiated labor rates for hours worked and the cost of materials, equipment, subcontractors, and other reimbursable expenses incurred in performing the work.

Previous wording

The Company has two types of fixed-price contracts, firm fixed-price and cost-sharing. Under firm fixed-price contracts, the Company receives an agreed-upon amount for providing products and services specified in the contract, and a profit or loss is recognized depending on whether actual costs are more or less than the agreed-upon amount. Under cost-sharing contracts, the fixed amount agreed upon with the customer is only intended to fund a portion of the costs on a specific project. Under cost-sharing contracts, an amount corresponding to the revenue is recorded in cost of revenue, resulting in gross profit on these contracts of zero. The Company reports its disaggregation of revenue by contract type since this method best represents the Company’s business. For the fiscal years ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, the majority of the Company’s contracts were classified as firm fixed-price and the balance were cost-sharing.

The Company’s revenue also includes revenue from certain contracts which do not fall within the scope of ASC 606, but under the scope of ASC 842, “Leases”. At inception of a contract for those classified under ASC 842, the Company classifies leases as either operating or financing in accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance contained within ASC 842. If the direct financing or sales-type classification criteria are met, then the lease is accounted for as a finance lease. All others are treated as operating leases. The Company recognizes revenue from operating lease arrangements generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term, or as agreed upon in-use days are utilized, both of which are presented in Revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company also enters into operating lease arrangements for its PowerBuoys® and Wave Adaptive Modular Vessels (“WAM-V®”) with certain customers. Revenue related to multiple-element arrangements is allocated to lease and non-lease elements based on their relative standalone selling prices or expected cost plus a margin approach. Lease elements generally include a PowerBuoy®, WAM-V®, and components, while non-lease elements, which the Company expects to become more prevalent, generally include engineering, monitoring and support services. In the lease arrangement, the customer may be provided with an option to extend the lease term or purchase the leased PowerBuoy® or WAM-V® at some point during and/or at the end of the lease term.

Since our inception, our operating cash flows have not been sufficient to fund our operations and provide the capital resources for our business.

Our business is capital intensive, and through April 30, 2025, we have been funding our business principally through sales of our securities. As of April 30, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents and long-term restricted cash balance was $6.9 million and we expect to fund our business with this amount, future financings such as the May 2025 convertible debt issuance and, to a lesser extent, with our cash flow generated from operations. Management believes the Company’s current cash and cash equivalents, inclusive of the May 2025 convertible debt, and long-term restricted cash, and future financing will be sufficient to fund its planned expenditures through July 2026.

Current wording

Our business is capital intensive, and through April 30, 2026, we have been funding our business principally through sales of our securities. As of April 30, 2026, our cash and cash equivalents and long-term restricted cash balance was $8.9 million and we expect to fund our business with this amount, future financings such as the June 2026 registered direct offering of common stock and warrants and, to a lesser extent, with our cash flow generated from operations. Management believes the Company’s current cash and cash equivalents may not be sufficient to fund its planned expenditures through twelve months from the filing date of the Form 10-K. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes the Company is a going concern and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from any uncertainty related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
