Current report
While we have made progress in reducing our net loss from $1.6 million in 2024 to $1.0 million in 2025 and improving our cash position from $0.6 million to $1.1 million, we continue to incur operating losses and have a substantial accumulated deficit of $155.9 million. Based on our current capital resources and projected cash requirements for ongoing operations, substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern continues to exist as of December 31, 2025. We are actively pursuing additional sources of capital, including equity financings, debt financings, and strategic partnerships, to fund operations and support future growth. However, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
Current report
Net sales of $3.6 million in 2025 decreased $1.3 million, or 27% compared to 2024, primarily driven by a decrease of 43% in MMM sales and an increase of 11% in commercial sales. The net sales decrease of MMM products sales in 2025 was primarily due to delays in military customer procurement and project execution related to federal budget approval timing. The increase in commercial sales was primarily driven by a $0.5 million UPS project delivered to a new customer in Taiwan, representing approximately 36% of commercial sales in 2025. While the project may represent a recurring revenue opportunity, future orders remain subject to customer requirements and timing.
Current report
Gross profit
Current report
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $1.3 million, or 36% of net sales in 2025, compared to $2.0 million, or 42% of net sales in 2024. The $0.7 million decrease is primarily due to reductions in consultant fees of $0.3 million, $0.1 million in rent fees, $0.1 million in insurance fees, and $0.1 million in director fees.
Current report
There was no interest expense in 2025, compared to interest expense of $5 thousand in 2024. The decrease is primarily related to interest attributable to the 2022 Streeterville Note. There was no actual cash interest paid in 2025 compared to $5 thousand in 2024.
Current report
Gain on disposal of fixed assets
Current report
We recognized $3 thousand of gain on sales of fixed assets in 2025, which was related to a one-time resale of a software license package to a related party customer as part of a specific project. There was no such gain recognized in 2024. See Note 14 “Related Party Transactions” included in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of this Annual Report for further information.
Current report
Other income was less than $1 thousand in 2025, compared to other income of $27 thousand in 2024. Such other income is related to receipts of unclaimed property from vendors for previous payments.
Current report
For 2025, our net loss of $1.0 million decreased 35% from $1.6 million net loss for 2024. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in cost of goods sold as well as operating expenses.
Current report
•As of December 31, 2025, we held total cash of $1.1 million, of which approximately $0.3 million was maintained in a bank account in Taiwan, with the remaining $0.8 million in bank accounts in the United States. These funds support the operations of our wholly owned Taiwanese branch and are denominated in NTD.
Current report
•The ability to access this cash for general corporate purposes in the United States may be subject to foreign exchange controls, local banking regulations, or unfavorable tax consequences. While there are currently no formal restrictions on the transfer of funds from Taiwan to the United States, repatriation of these funds may result in foreign withholding taxes or other costs, which could impact our overall liquidity. As such, our ability to deploy foreign cash for domestic use may be limited or delayed.
Current report
•Management believes our current cash position and operating cash flows are sufficient to meet near-term working capital needs in both domestic and foreign jurisdictions.
Current report
Net cash used in operating activities was $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The net loss for 2025 was $1.0 million and was adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, provisions from inventory, warranty, accounts receivable reserves and working capital changes. During 2025, major adjustments included cash generated from $0.3 million from collection of accounts receivable, which is partially offset by $0.3 million change in inventory, $0.1 million change in accounts payable and $0.5 million change in related party accounts payable due to timing inventory receipts and payments.
Current report
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.
Current report
Please refer to Note 9 “Purchase Commitments” included under Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of this Annual Report.
Current report
Foreign currency exchange risk
Current report
Because we maintain operations and cash balances in Taiwan, we are exposed to fluctuations in the New Taiwan dollar (NTD) exchange rate relative to the U.S. dollar. Changes in exchange rates can affect the reported value of our foreign cash balances, revenues, and expenses, as well as result in transaction gains or losses on intercompany and third-party balances.
Current report
As of December 31, 2025, we had a net NTD exposure of approximately $439 thousand, consisting of NTD cash of $326 thousand, and NTD-denominated accounts receivable of $113 thousand. In addition, we held approximately $156 thousand in JPY denominated advances for investment in a joint venture related to our Japan ESS initiative.
Current report
For 2025, we recognized a net foreign currency transaction gain of approximately $20 thousand. We do not currently employ financial instruments to hedge our foreign currency exposure. We continue to monitor our NTD and JPY exposure and may consider hedging strategies in the future if our foreign currency risk increases materially.

Previous report
Our net sales of $4.9 million in 2024 decreased 15% compared to 2023, mainly driven by a decrease of 16% in MMM sales and a decrease of 13% in commercial sales. The decrease in net MMM product sales in 2024 as compared to 2023 was mainly due to a significant reduction in military demand toward the end of the year, driven by the impact of the U.S. election cycle. Net sales of our commercial products decreased in 2024 due to the effects of annual market cycles, high inflation, and our sales strategy, which reduced the proportion of commercial sales, along with market-adjusted pricing.
Previous report
Gross profit (loss)
Previous report
The reduction in warehouse space following the new lease agreement in July 2024 required both significant disposal of highly reserved, excess and obsolete inventory and a focus on selling inventory on hand throughout 2024. As a result of our initiatives of inventory management enhancement, we sold some inventory below cost. This resulted in a net decrease of our gross inventory levels of $0.9 million and a net decrease of excess and obsolete inventory reservesof$2.2 million as compared to 2023.
Previous report
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $2.0 million, or 42% of net sales, in 2024, compared to $3.6 million, or 63% of net sales, in 2023. The year-over-year $1.6 million decrease is comprised of a combination of a $0.9 million decrease from a reduction in headcount for salaries, severance, and commissions, a $0.1 million decrease from a reduction of software costs, a $0.8 million decrease from consultant and professional fees, and remaining from a decrease of all other general expenses.
Previous report
We incurred $5 thousand in interest expenses compared to interest expenses of $380 thousand in 2023. Interest expenses primarily related to the interest on promissory notes in the principal amounts of $2 million (the “2022 Streeterville Note”) the Company sold and issued to Streeterville pursuant to separate note purchase agreements. The decrease is primarily related to early termination of the 2022 Streeterville Note.
Previous report
We recognized other income of $27 thousand and $30 thousand each in 2024 and 2023, respectively. Other income in 2024 and 2023 primarily consisted of tax refunds and miscellaneous adjustments from accounts receivable.
Previous report
Net loss was $1.6 million for 2024. This compares with a net loss of $4.3 million for 2023, mainly driven by reduction of cost of goods sold, product development, selling, general, and administrative expenses as well as interest expenses.
Previous report
Net cash used in operating activities of $2.4 million in 2023 resulted primarily from the net loss incurred of $4.3 million, adjusted for non-cash items, including: depreciation and amortization of $258 thousand, stock-based compensation, net of $44 thousand, non-favorable provisions from inventory of $25 thousand and from accounts receivable of $6 thousand, and favorable provisions from warranty of $33 thousand and gain from paid-off of Credit Facilities of $40 thousand. We used $1.1 million through the timing of collection of accounts receivable, $200 thousand for prepayments to vendors, and $47 thousand through a decrease of other accrued liabilities. We generated $580 thousand in cash for an increase in accounts payable due to the timing of inventory receipts and payments, $521 thousand from the change in prepaid and other current assets, and $1.0 million in inventory as we sold off a substantial portion of the stock on hand.
Previous report
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 of $4.5 million primarily resulted from the proceeds from the issuance of common stock and warrants of $6.1 million and advanced capital contribution of $0.5 million. The increases in cash were partially offset by payments on the 2022 Streeterville Note of $0.6 million and Credit Facilities of $1.4 million.

In addition to continuously pursuing cost reductions, our strategy to combat these trends is to innovate both our technology and product offerings with differentiated products and solutions that offer greater, distinct value. Specific examples of these products we have developed include the RedCap®, our patented emergency backup battery integrated TLED, as well as our robust MMM product offering. The Company has enhanced the performance of our RedCap® product providing a more user- friendly experience. We continue to evaluate our sales strategy and believe our go-to-market strategy that focuses more on direct-sales marketing, selectively expanding our channel partner network to cover territories across the country, and listening to the voice of the customer will lead to better and more impactful product development efforts that we believe will eventually translate into larger addressable markets and greater sales growth for us.

We have taken steps to strengthen our financial structure through capital increases and cost reduction measures. As a result, we have fully eliminated all external high-interest debt, which we believe has improved our financial position. Our business expansion plans are supported by financial strategies that we expect will provide funding for our planned growth initiatives, although there can be no assurance that such funding will be adequate. During 2024, our MMM business faced ongoing challenges due to delays in government funding and the timing of U.S. Navy awards. Several anticipated projects encountered repeated postponements, further complicated by the long sales cycles typical in this sector. The timeline from bid submission to order placement often exceeds six months, and many MMM products are built-to-order, resulting in extended lead times before revenue recognition. To mitigate this volatility, we continue to actively pursue new opportunities with the U.S. Navy and other government sectors. We have undertaken efforts to reduce costs and improve production efficiencies in MMM product lines which we believe have contributed to our competitiveness, and may have helped us secure new contracts and expand our sales pipeline in the latter half of 2024.

These strategic adjustments have improved our market position, offering a more competitive pricing structure and a stronger value proposition for our customers. We believe that these initiatives, if successfully implemented, and if our financial position continues to improve, may contribute to growth across both our MMM and commercial business sectors, although there can be no assurance that such growth will occur.

Gross profit was $0.7 million, or 14% of net sales, for 2024, compared with gross profit of $0.2 million, or 4% of net sales for 2023. The increase in gross margin was mainly driven by a 2% of net sales decrease in fixed costs such as subscription fee, expenses related to rent expense for production, a 16% of net sales decrease in variable costs such as material cost and freight in expense, and an 8% of net sales unfavorable change in inventory reserves.
