Current report

***Revenues.***Net sales were $7,160,247 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the restated $7,346,421 for the same period in 2024, a decrease of $186,174 or 3%. The decrease in revenue is due to a number of customers from our 4 th quarter bookings that were not able to accept delivery in the first quarter. A large portion of the 2024 backlog will convert to revenue throughout the 2025 year.

Current report

***Cost of Sales.***Cost of sales was $1,963,367 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $2,632,257 for the same period in 2024, a decrease of $668,890, or 25%. This decrease in cost of sales reflected our ability to streamline our operations to help increase our margin.

Current report

***Operating Expenses.***Net operating expense was $3,829,077 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $4,063,802 for the same period in 2024, a decrease of $234,725, or 6%. This decrease is occurring because of our drive to maintain or lower our overhead costs this year as we navigate the challenges that will come with the government pauses in contracts.

Current report

***Operating Income.***Operating income was $1,367,803 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to operating income of $650,362 for the same period in 2024, an increase of 717,441 or 110%. This year over year increase is attributed to our savings in cost of goods and operating expenses while maintaining close revenues results.

Current report

***Other Income.***Other expense net of other income was $1,743 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to net other income of $329,271 for the same period in 2024, a decrease of $331,014, or 101%, primarily because we no longer have a sublessee paying rental income in 2025.

Current report

The Company defines bookings as the total of newly signed contracts, awarded RFP’s and purchase orders received in a defined time period. The Company received bookings totaling $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company has made one change to the booking qualifications in 4 th Q 2024. We have strengthened the language in the STEP contract Terms and Conditions to guarantee the agreement for the full three-year term. This change secures future revenue and lowers our risk of unsigned or cancelled contracts. Since the change was only made in Q4 of 2024, we still estimate that there are $5 million in renewable STEP contract options still outstanding. Based on current renewal rates, the Company believes 95% of those options will be exercised.

Current report

With a new federal administration in place at the beginning of 2025, it is unknown what impact that will have on our bookings for the remainder of 2025. Budget cuts have been discussed and we have seen some grants and other federal funding frozen for most of the first quarter, but nothing definitive has occurred as of the date of this report.

***Revenues.***Net sales were $7,484,269 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $7,561,582 for the same period in 2023, a decrease of $77,313 or 1%. Net sales were $21,653,707 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $27,925,420 for the same period in 2023, a decrease of $6,271,713, or 22%. The decrease in revenue can be attributed to the smaller amount of bookings in the prior 3 quarters due to the temporary funding measures taken by the federal government that delayed many of our contracts as well as the time it takes for the rebuilding of our sales team.

Previous report

***Cost of Sales.***Cost of sales were $1,986,296 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2,175,508 for the same period in 2023, a decrease of $189,212, or 9%. Cost of sales were $5,168,978 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $9,669,708, or a 47% decrease. The dollar decrease for the three-month ending period correlates with the lower revenues for the current quarter compared to last year which equates to lower COGS. In addition, 31% of our 3-month ending September 30, 2024 revenue is derived from STEP and Service contracts that have limited COGS. For the nine-month ending lower dollars and percentage is related to a reclassification of COGS labor related to our development projects. This expense will be reflected in the income statement when we have the corresponding matching revenue.

Previous report

***Operating Expenses.***Net operating expense was $4,742,341 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $3,716,463 for the same period in 2023, an increase of $1,025,878, or 28%. Net operating expense was $13,199,337 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $11,186,189 for the same period in 2023, an increase of $2,013,148, or 18%. This increase for both the 3 month and 9 month ending periods come from payroll and benefits as labor rates increase and as we bring on higher level staff to help build infrastructure for the future. Along with the additional taxes associated with the RSU payments for both the Chairman of the board as well as the CEO in the third quarter. a major factor this year has been and increase in IT expenses to help prepare the organization for regulatory compliance. Travel expenses increased year-over-year as we seek to expand our footprint in our sales territories including the international market which requires additional travel.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s backlog was $15.2 million. The breakout of this backlog includes $7 million in capital, $6.2 million in service and warranties, and $2 million in STEP contracts.

A note to the renewable STEP number as it will begin to come down as we are only writing 3-year agreements and any additional years with be subject to new negotiations we will no longer report the full 5 years as potentially renewable.

Management estimates the conversion of backlog based on current contract delivery dates; however, contract terms and dates are subject to modification and are routinely changed at the request of the customer.

Our management believes that our current capital resources will be adequate to continue operating the company and maintaining our current business strategy for more than 12 months from the filing of this Quarterly Report. We are, however, open to raising additional funds from the capital markets, at a fair valuation, to expand our product and services offered, to enhance our sales and marketing efforts and effectiveness, and to aggressively take advantage of market opportunities. There can be no assurance, however, that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, if and when it is needed, we will be forced to scale down our plans for expanded marketing and sales efforts.

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our unaudited financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to areas that require a significant level of judgment or are otherwise subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Significant accounting estimates in these financial statements include valuation assumptions for share-based payments, allowance for doubtful accounts and notes receivable, inventory reserves, accrual for warranty reserves, the carrying value of long-lived assets, income tax valuation allowances, the carrying value of cost basis investments, and the allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in our contracts with customers. We base our estimates on historical experience, our observance of trends in particular areas, and information or valuations and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual amounts could differ significantly from amounts previously estimated. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, refer to Part I, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Management believes that there have been no changes in our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
