Note 1 –Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

CEA Industries Inc., formerly Surna Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated in Nevada on October 15, 2009. We design, engineer and sell environmental control and other technologies for the Controlled Environment Agriculture (“CEA”) industry. From leafy greens (kale, Swiss chard, mustard, cress), microgreens (leafy greens harvested at the first true leaf stage), ethnic vegetables, ornamentals, and small fruits (such as strawberries, blackberries and raspberries) to bell peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes and cannabis and hemp, more and more producers consider or act to grow crops indoors in response to market dynamics or as part of their preferred farming practice. In service of the CEA industry, we provide: (i) architectural design and licensed engineering of commercial scale thermodynamic systems specific to cultivation facilities, (ii) liquid-based process cooling systems and other climate control systems, (iii) air handling equipment and systems, (iv) air sanitation products, (v) LED lighting, (vi) benching and racking solutions for indoor cultivation, (vii) proprietary and third party controls systems and technologies used for environmental, lighting, and climate control, and (viii) preventive maintenance services, through our partnership with a certified service contractor network, for CEA facilities. Our customers include commercial, state- and provincial-regulated CEA growers in the U.S. and Canada. Customers are those growers building new facilities and those expanding or retrofitting existing facilities. Currently, our revenue stream is derived primarily from supplying our products, services, and technologies to commercial indoor facilities ranging from several thousand to more than 100,000 square feet. Headquartered in Louisville, Colorado, we leverage our experience in this space to bring value-added climate control solutions to our customers that help improve their overall crop quality and yield, optimize energy and water efficiency, and satisfy the evolving state and local codes, permitting and regulatory requirements. Although most of our customers do, we neither produce nor sell cannabis or its related products.

Recent Developments – Acquisition of Fat Panda

We have entered into an acquisition agreement to acquire a group of Manitoba corporations that own all the assets used in the business of Fat Panda Ltd. (“Fat Panda”). Fat Panda is engaged in the manufacture, distribution and retail sale of e-cigarettes, vape devices and e-liquids and related products through multiple retail locations in the provinces of Manitoba, Ontario, and Saskatchewan, Canada, as well as through its online e-commerce site.

Fat Panda, we believe, is central Canada’s largest retailer and manufacturer of e-cigarettes, vape devices and e-liquids, with a market share exceeding 50% in the region. Fat Panda operates 33 retail locations, including 29 Fat Panda stores and four Electric Fog vape outlets. Fat Panda also serves a wide range of customers through its online e-commerce platform. Its retail footprint is complemented by a comprehensive portfolio of products, including its own line of premium e-liquids manufactured in-house, along with a robust portfolio of trademarks and intellectual property.

The acquisition will include all the assets of Fat Panda, including among other things, the leases for the retail outlets, intellectual property, inventory, government licenses and permits, franchise agreements, manufacturing facilities and supply agreements, which are necessary for the ongoing manufacturing and retail operations of Fat Panda. The acquisition will continue the employment of the current management and of the production and retail staff, for the uninterrupted, continuous operations of the business. The sellers will enter into non-competition agreements at closing. Certain of the senior management persons will enter into employment agreements for their continued employment after the closing of the acquisition.

The purchase price is CAD$18,000,000 (approximately US$12,600,000), payable in cash, securities and seller loans. The Company also expects to borrow part of the cash portion of the purchase price, in an amount yet to be determined, which will be secured by the assets of Fat Panda. The purchase price includes an initial cash payment of CAD$13,900,000, issuance of 39,000 shares of the common stock of the Company with an agreed aggregate value of CAD$700,000 (approximately CAD$18.00 per share), and issuance of notes to the sellers in the aggregate principal amount of CAD$2,060,000, and release of a CAD$100,000 due diligence deposit. The Company is also agreeing to pay certain financial statement audit expenses of the selling parties. Of the notes to be issued by Fat Panda to the selling parties, one of the notes in the principal amount of CAD$1,030,000, is convertible into the common stock of the Company at a conversion rate of USD$19.00 per share. At closing the following will occur: first, a portion of the cash purchase price in the amount of CAD$1,375,000 will be held in a joint escrow account for 120 days after closing as a working capital adjustment escrow; second, the sum of CAD$1,240,000, will be paid into escrow for possible indemnity claims to be held for 18 months; and third, the purchase price will be reduced by CAD$112,500 and the sum of CAD$112,500 will be paid into escrow to be held for 18 months, both in relation to employee obligation claims under Canadian employment law.

Completion of the acquisition is subject to a number of conditions, which include the preparation and delivery of the Fat Panda companies audited consolidated financial statements and unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, satisfaction of the financial condition of Fat Panda, completion of due diligence by the Company, receipt of all necessary government approvals and licenses, and continuation and reformation of the various retail location leases. Completion is also subject to the Company obtaining financing for a portion of the cash purchase price. The acquisition agreement also provides for the selling persons to make representations and warranties and undertake certain covenants about many aspects of the business of Fat Panda that shall be true and correct and performed at or prior to closing. The representations, warranties and covenants are those that are typical in relation to the acquisition of an operating business. The Company has also made certain representations, warranties and covenants, the principal one of which is to obtain financing for a part of the purchase price, which if not obtained will permit the Company to terminate the purchase agreement.

CEA Industries Inc. (“Company”) has received preliminary unaudited financial information about Fat Panda Ltd. (“Fat Panda”) that is a condition to the completion of its acquisition of Fat Panda. Based on preliminary, unaudited financial data, in its fiscal year ended April 30, 2024 Fat Panda generated CAD $38.5 million (USD $28.5 million) in revenue with 39% gross margins and CAD $8.4 million (USD $6.2 million) in adjusted EBITDA. Both revenue and adjusted EBITDA grew over 10% from fiscal year ended April 30, 2023, while gross margin declined by 15% from fiscal year 2023. The Company continues to expect to complete the acquisition in the first half of 2025, subject to fulfillment of customary closing conditions which includes completion of the audit of Fat Panda’s financial statements.

Changes to United States tariff and import/export regulations may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The United States has recently enacted and proposed to enact significant new tariffs. Additionally, President Trump has directed various federal agencies to further evaluate key aspects of U.S. trade policy and there has been ongoing discussion and commentary regarding potential significant changes to U.S. trade policies, treaties and tariffs. There continues to exist significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the U.S. and other countries with respect to such trade policies, treaties and tariffs. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global trade and, in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the U.S. Any of these factors could depress economic activity and restrict our access to suppliers or customers and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As the Peoples Republic of China (“PRC”) is a particular focus of the tariffs and trade policies, and the Company uses products from the PRC in its product offerings, we expect that there will be disruption in that aspect of our business. We are in the process of searching for alternative suppliers, but there is no assurance that we will be able to find other suppliers at a price that will be reasonable.

Impact of Ukrainian and Israeli Conflicts

We believe that the conflicts involving Ukraine and Israel do not have any direct impact on our operations, financial condition, or financial reporting. We believe the conflicts will have only a general impact on our operations in the same manner as it is having a general impact on all businesses that have their operations limited to North America resulting from international sanction and embargo regulations, possible shortages of goods and goods incorporating parts that may be supplied from countries involved in the conflicts, supply chain challenges, and the international and US domestic inflation resulting from the conflict and government spending in relation to the conflicts. As our operations are related only to the North American controlled agricultural industry, largely within the cannabis space, we do not believe we will be specifically targeted for cyber-attacks related to the conflicts. We have no operations in the countries directly involved in the conflict or are specifically impacted by any of the sanctions and embargoes specifically related to those conflicts, as we principally operate in the United States and Canada. We do not believe that the conflicts will have any impact on our internal control over financial reporting. Other than general securities market trends, we do not have reason to believe that investors will evaluate the company as having special risks or exposures related to the conflicts.

Inflation

Our operations are being influenced by the inflation in the larger economy and in the industries related to building renovations, retrofitting and new build CEA facilities in which we operate. We believe that we will continue to face inflationary increases in the cost of products and our operations, which will adversely affect our margins and financial results and the pricing of our service and product supply contracts. Inflation is reflected in higher wages, increased pricing of equipment, delivery and transportation costs, and general operational expenses. As we move forward, we plan to continuously monitor our various contract terms and may decide to add clauses that will permit us to adjust pricing if inflation and price increase pressures on us will impact our ability to perform our contracts and maintain our margins.

Financial Statement Presentation

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures.

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and note disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The balance sheet information as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Liquidity

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. The Company continues to experience recurring losses since its inception. As a result, in order to continue as a going concern, the Company has been reliant on the ability to obtain additional sources of financing to fund growth. On February 15, 2022, the Company received approximately $21,711,000 in net proceeds from completion of an equity offering. Based on management’s evaluation, the proceeds from the Offering will be more than sufficient to fund any deficiencies in working capital or cash flow from operations, and the Company is confident that it will be able to meet its obligations as they come due, and fund operations for at least 12 months after the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the conditions around liquidity and limited working capital necessary to fund operations have been addressed.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled and wholly owned subsidiaries, Hydro Innovations, LLC (“Hydro”) and Surna Cultivation Technologies LLC (“SCT”). Intercompany transactions, profit, and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Reverse Stock Split

On May 7, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split at a ratio ofone-for-twelve. The reverse stock split was effective June 7, 2024. The par value for the Common Stock was not affected.

As a result of the reverse stock split, all outstanding options, restricted stock units, and common stock purchase warrants were proportionately adjusted as to number of securities and exercise prices.

Use of Estimates

Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Key estimates include: allocation of transaction prices to performance obligations under contracts with customers, standalone selling prices, timing of expected revenue recognition on remaining performance obligations under contracts with customers, valuation of intangible assets as it applies to impairment analysis, valuation of equity-based compensation, valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, warranty accruals, inventory allowances, and legal contingencies.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains deposits in financial institutions that exceed the federally insured amount of $250,000. As of March 31, 2025, the balance in the Company’s accounts was approximately $8,707,000, consequently approximately $8,457,000 of this balance was not insured by the FDIC. The Company has not experienced any losses to date on depository accounts.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Accounts Receivable.

Accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount or based on revenue earned for items not yet invoiced and generally do not bear interest. In accordance with ASU No. 2016-13 (as amended),*Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,*which the Company adopted on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2023, an allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded against the Company’s receivables by applying an expected credit loss model. Each period, management assesses the appropriateness of the level of allowance for credit losses by considering credit risk inherent within its receivables as of the end of the period. The Company considers a receivable past due when a debtor has not paid us by the contractually specified payment due date. Account balances are written off against the allowance for credit losses if collection efforts are unsuccessful and the receivable balance is deemed uncollectible (debtor default), based on factors such as the debtor’s credit rating as well as the length of time the amounts are past due. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $84,928 and $84,961, respectively.

Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, including stock options, warrants and restricted stock units and other equity-based awards, except in cases where the effect of the common stock equivalents would be antidilutive. Potential common stock equivalents consist of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and the vesting of restricted stock units using the treasury method.

As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were respectively, 643,556 and 661,852, potentially dilutive equity instruments outstanding in respect of warrants, restricted stock units, and stock options that were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. Of these potentially dilutive equity instruments outstanding,616,338 and 635,314 related to warrants outstanding at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, issued in connection with the sale of our shares of series B Preferred stock and common stock.1,529 and 0 as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to restricted stock units issued to a director as compensation and the remaining 25,689 and 26,537 potentially dilutive equity instruments outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to options that were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock that had been issued to our directors and staff as compensation.

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 (Topic 606),Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (“ASC 606” or the “revenue standard”) to all contracts and elected the modified retrospective method.

Revenue Recognition Accounting Policy Summary

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606. Under the revenue standard, a performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. Most of the Company’s contracts contain multiple performance obligations that include engineering and technical services as well as the delivery of a diverse range of climate control system equipment and components, which can span multiple phases of a customer’s project life cycle from facility design and construction to equipment delivery and system installation and start-up. The Company does not provide construction services or system installation services. Some of the Company’s contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation, typically engineering only services contracts.

A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. When there are multiple performance obligations within a contract, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on standalone selling price. When estimating the selling price, the Company uses various observable inputs. The best observable input is the Company’s actual selling price for the same good or service, however, this input is generally not available for the Company’s contracts containing multiple performance obligations. For engineering services, the Company estimates the standalone selling price by reference to certain physical characteristics of the project, such as facility size and mechanical systems involved, which are indicative of the scope and complexity of the mechanical engineering services to be provided. For equipment sales, the standalone selling price is determined by forecasting the expected costs of the equipment and components and then adding an appropriate margin, based on a range of acceptable margins established by management. Depending on the nature of the performance obligations, the Company may use a combination of different methods and observable inputs if certain performance obligations have highly variable or uncertain standalone selling prices. Once the selling prices are determined, the Company applies the relative values to the total contract consideration and estimates the amount of the transaction price to be recognized as each promise is fulfilled.

Generally, satisfaction occurs when control of the promised goods is transferred to the customer or as services are rendered or completed in exchange for consideration in an amount for which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company recognizes revenue for the sale of goods when control transfers to the customer, which primarily occurs at the time of shipment. The Company has elected to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes (e.g., sales, use, value added, and certain excise taxes) that are assessed by a governmental authority in connection with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from the customer. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue net of sales taxes. The revenue and cost for freight and shipping is recorded when control over the sale of goods passes to the Company’s customers.

The Company also has performance obligations to perform certain engineering services that are satisfied over a period of time. Revenue is recognized from this type of performance obligation as services are rendered based on the percentage completion towards certain specified milestones.

The Company offers assurance-type warranties for its products and products manufactured by others to meet specifications defined by the contracts with customers and does not have any material separate performance obligations related to these warranties. The Company maintains a warranty reserve based on historical warranty costs.

Disaggregation of Revenue

In accordance with ASC 606-10-50-5 through 6, the Company considered the appropriate level of disaggregated revenue information that depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Additionally, per the implementation guidance in ASC 606-10-55-90 through 91, the Company also considered (a) disclosures presented outside of the financial statements such as earnings releases and investor presentations, (b) information regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker for evaluating the financial performance of operating segments and (c) other information that is similar to the types of information identified in (a) and (b) and that is used by the Company or users of the Company’s financial statements to evaluate financial performance or make resource allocation decisions. Finally, we considered the examples of categories found in the guidance that might be appropriate, including: (a) type of good or service (major product lines), (b) geographical region (country or region), (c) market or type of customer (government or non-government customers), (d) type of contract (fixed-price or time-and-materials), (e) contract duration (short- or long-term), (f) timing of transfer of goods or services (point-in-time or over time) and (g) sales channels (direct to customers or through intermediaries).

Based on the aforementioned guidance and considerations, the Company determined that disaggregation of revenue by equipment sales, engineering and other services, shipping and handling, and forfeited non-refundable customer deposits was required.

The following table sets forth the Company’s revenue by source:

For the Three Months Ended March 31,
20252024
Equipment and systems sales$608,000$113,172
Engineering and other services78,392$88,165
Shipping and handling1,967$1,904
Forfeited non-refundable customer deposits25,101$31,265
Total revenue$713,460$234,506

Other Judgments and Assumptions

The Company typically receives customer payments in advance of its performance of services or transfers of goods. Applying the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-32-18, which the Company has elected, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component since the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. Accordingly, the remaining performance obligations related to customer contracts does not consider the effects of the time value of money.

Applying the practical expedient in ASC 340-40-25-4, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred since the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs include certain sales commissions and incentives, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, and are payable only when associated revenue has been collected and earned by the Company.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

Contract assets reflect revenue recognized and performance obligations satisfied in advance of customer billing. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of the satisfaction of performance under the contract. The Company receives payments from customers based on the terms established in its contracts.

Contract assets include unbilled amounts where revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer and the right of payment is conditional, subject to completing a milestone, such as a phase of a project. The Company typically does not have material amounts of contract assets since revenue is recognized as control of goods are transferred or as services are performed. In accordance with ASU No. 2016-13 (as amended),*Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,*which the Company adopted on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2023, an allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded against the Company’s contract assetsby applying an expected credit loss model. Each period, management assesses the appropriateness of the level of allowance for credit losses by considering credit risk inherent within its contract assets as of the end of the period. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $1,100 and $1,500, respectively. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. We expect to complete our performance obligations and bill the customer for this contract asset during 2025. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had contract assets of $234,328 and $234,328, respectively.

Contract liabilities consist of advance payments in excess of revenue recognized. The Company’s contract liabilities are recorded as a current liability in deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets since the Company generally expects to recognize revenue in less than one year. Non-refundable customer deposits are recognized as revenue when previously abandoned customer contracts have been forfeited and a period of three years has passed. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, deferred revenue, which was classified as a current liability, was $474,679 and $343,790, respectively.

For the three March 31, 2025, the Company recognized revenue of $64,804 related to the deferred revenue at January 1, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $47,440 related to the deferred revenue at January 1, 2024.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations, or backlog, represents the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining obligations that the Company has not performed under its customer contracts. The Company has elected not to use the optional exemption in ASC 606-10-50-14, which exempts an entity from such disclosures if a performance obligation is part of a contract with an original expected duration of one year or less. Accordingly, the information disclosed about remaining performance obligations includes all customer contracts, including those with an expected duration of one year or less.

Industry uncertainty, project financing concerns, and the licensing and qualification of our prospective customers, which are out of the Company’s control, make it difficult for the Company to predict when it will recognize revenue on its remaining performance obligations. There are risks that the Company may not realize the full contract value on customer projects in a timely manner or at all, and completion of a customer’s cultivation facility project is dependent upon the customer’s ability to secure funding and real estate, obtain a license and then build their cultivation facility so they can take possession of the equipment. Accordingly, the time it takes for customers to complete a project, which corresponds to when the Company is able to recognize revenue, is driven by numerous factors including: (i) the large number of first-time participants interested in the indoor cannabis cultivation business; (ii) the complexities and uncertainties involved in obtaining state and local licensure and permitting; (iii) local and state government delays in approving licenses and permits due to lack of staff or the large number of pending applications, especially in states where there is no cap on the number of cultivators; (iv) the customer’s need to obtain cultivation facility financing; (v) the time needed, and coordination required, for our customers to acquire real estate and properly design and build the facility (to the stage when climate control systems can be installed); (vi) the large price tag and technical complexities of the climate control and air sanitation system; (vii) the availability of power; and (viii) delays that are typical in completing any construction project. Further, based on the current economic climate, t and the Company’s recent cost cutting measures, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to fulfill its backlog, and the Company may experience contract cancellations, project scope reductions and project delays.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s remaining performance obligations, or backlog, was approximately $844,000, an increase of $309,000 from the March 31, 2024 backlog of $535,000. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in net bookings. There is significant uncertainty regarding the timing of the Company’s recognition of revenue on its remaining performance obligations, and there is no certainty that these will result in actual revenues.

The remaining performance obligations expected to be recognized through 2025 are as follows:

Q2 2025Q3 2025Total
Remaining performance obligations related to partial equipment & engineering paid contracts807,00036,000844,000
Total remaining performance obligations$807,000$36,000$844,000

Product Warranty

The Company warrants the products that it manufactures for a warranty period equal to the lesser of 12 months from start-up or 18 months from shipment. The Company’s warranty provides for the repair, rework, or replacement of products (at the Company’s option) that fail to perform within stated specification. The Company’s third-party suppliers also warrant their products under similar terms, which are passed through to the Company’s customers.

The Company assesses the historical warranty claims on its manufactured products and, since 2016, warranty claims have been approximately 1% of annual revenue generated on these products. Based on the Company’s warranty policy, an accrual is established at 1% of the trailing 18 months revenue. The Company continues to assess the need to record a warranty reserve at the time of sale based on historical claims and other factors. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had an accrued warranty reserve amount of $47,424 and $53,148, respectively, which are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Accounting for Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes the cost resulting from all share-based compensation arrangements, including stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units that the Company grants under its equity incentive plan in its condensed consolidated financial statements based on their grant date fair value. The expense is recognized over the requisite service period or performance period of the award. Awards with a graded vesting period based on service are expensed on a straight-line basis for the entire award. Awards with performance-based vesting conditions, which require the achievement of a specific company financial performance goal at the end of the performance period and required service period, are recognized over the performance period. Each reporting period, the Company reassesses the probability of achieving the respective performance goal. If the goals are not expected to be met, no compensation cost is recognized and any previously recognized amount recorded is reversed. If the award contains market-based vesting conditions, the compensation cost is based on the grant date fair value and expected achievement of market condition and is not subsequently reversed if it is later determined that the condition is not likely to be met or is expected to be lower than initially expected.

The grant date fair value of stock options is based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (the “Black-Scholes Model”). The Black-Scholes Model requires judgmental assumptions including volatility and expected term, both based on historical experience. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury interest rates whose term is consistent with the expected term of the option. The Company determines the assumptions used in the valuation of option awards as of the date of grant. Differences in the expected stock price volatility, expected term or risk-free interest rate may necessitate distinct valuation assumptions at those grant dates. As such, the Company may use different assumptions for options granted throughout the year.

The grant date fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units is based on the closing price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant.

The Company has elected to reduce share-based compensation expense for forfeitures as the forfeitures occur since the Company does not have historical data or other factors to appropriately estimate the expected employee terminations and to evaluate whether particular groups of employees have significantly different forfeiture expectations.

Concentrations

Three customers accounted for 58%,23% and 11% of the Company’s revenue, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Three customers accounted for 24%,16%, and 13% of the Company’s revenue, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Two customers accounted for 85%, and 14% of the Company’s accounts receivable, respectively, as of March 31, 2025. The Company’s accounts receivable from two customers made up 61%, and 36%, respectively, of the total balance as of December 31, 2024.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-05, “Business Combinations—Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement.” ASU 2023-05 requires certain joint ventures to apply a new basis of accounting upon formation by recognizing and initially measuring most of their assets and liabilities at fair value. The objectives of the amendments are to provide decision-useful information to investors and other allocators of capital in a joint venture’s financial statements and also to reduce diversity in practice. ASU 2023-05 should be applied prospectively and is effective for all newly formed joint venture entities with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. Early adoption is permitted, and joint ventures formed prior to the adoption date may elect to apply the new guidance retrospectively back to their original formation date. The adoption of ASU 2023-05 has not had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-04 – Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options: Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which improves the relevance and consistency in application of the induced conversion guidance in Subtopic 470-20, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options. Specifically, the guidance is intended to clarify how to determine whether a settlement of convertible debt (particularly cash convertible instruments) at terms that differ from the original conversion terms should be accounted for under the induced conversion or extinguishment guidance. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2020-06. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 22-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The ASU requires entities to provide enhanced disclosures related to certain costs and expenses in the notes to the financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09). ASU 2023-09 includes requirements that an entity disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that are greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate. The standard also requires that entities disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) and income tax expense (or benefit) each disaggregated between domestic and foreign. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07). ASU 2023-07 includes requirements that an entity disclose the title of the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and on an interim and annual basis, significant segment expenses and the composition of other segment items for each segment’s reported profit. The standard also permits disclosure of additional measures of segment profit. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, which defers the sunset date ofReference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”) from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. ASU No. 2022-06 was effective upon issuance. Topic 848 provides temporary optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting, providing optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

Note 2 –Leases

The Louisville Facility Lease

On July 28, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to lease 11,491 square feet of office and manufacturing space (the “New Facility Lease”), in Louisville, CO. The New Facility lease commenced on November 1, 2021 and continues through January 31, 2027. From November 2021 through January 2022, the monthly rent was abated. Beginning February 2022, the monthly rent is $10,055 and will increase by 3% annually every November through the end of the New Facility Lease term. Pursuant to the New Facility Lease, the Company made a security deposit of $14,747. The Company has the option to renew the New Facility Lease for an additional five years. Additionally, the Company pays the actual amounts for property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance. The New Facility Lease agreement contains customary events of default, representations, warranties, and covenants.

Upon commencement of the New Facility Lease, the Company recognized on the balance sheet an operating lease right-of-use asset and lease liability in the amount of $582,838. The lease liability was initially measured as the present value of the unpaid lease payments at commencement and the ROU asset was initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred less any lease incentives received. The renewal option to extend the New Facility Lease is not included in the right-of-use asset or lease liability, as the option is not reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal option and when it is reasonably certain of exercise, the Company will include the renewal period in its lease term.

The Company’s operating and finance right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are as follows:

Operating lease right-of-use asset$216,891
Operating lease liability, current$137,875
Operating lease liability, long-term$101,314

Note 6 –Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

On October 20, 2023, Sweet Cut Grow, LLC and Green Ice, LLC (collectively, “Claimant”) a client of the Company with which it had an equipment contract and engineering contract, filed a demand for arbitration asserting claims for breach of contract, breach of warranty, and unjust enrichment, and a demand for $1,049,280 in damages, plus interest (“Claims”). The Company continues to deny all the Claims and has asserted a counterclaim. The Company believes Claimant is owed nothing as the Company fulfilled all its obligations under the contracts to Claimant, and further, that the negligence of a third-party supplier is the basis of the Claims. We intend to generally defend the claims on the basis that we promptly addressed all problems, and that any issues with defective HVAC equipment are the responsibility of the third-party equipment manufacturer. The Company’s equipment contract with Claimant requires the parties to arbitrate their disputes under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitration will be heard in Denver, Colorado in September 2025. The matter is in the discovery phase. The parties will pay their own legal fees and expenses. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously, believing there are no merits to the Claims as currently presented.

On or about April 17, 2024, Optima Consulting Services, LLC (the “Claimant”), a client of the Company with which it had an equipment contract and engineering contract, advised the Company of a potential claim related to work performed by the Company for Claimant and demanded mediation under the parties’ contract. On or about October 28, 2024, Claimant informed the Company it was asserting claims for negligent/defective design and breach of warranty, and alleges its damages exceed $2,000,000 (Claims”). The Company denies all the Claims and that Claimant is entitled to any damages. The Company believes Claimant is owed nothing as the Company fulfilled all its obligations under the contracts to Claimant and performed all work in line with all applicable standards. We intend to generally defend the Claims on the basis that all work was performed pursuant to the contract and any alleged issues that may have occurred were the result of actions by Claimant and/or third parties. If Claimant moves forward with its Claims, the Company’s equipment contract with Claimant requires the parties to arbitrate their dispute with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitration will be heard in Denver, Colorado. The matter is in the preliminary phase. The parties will pay their own legal fees and expenses. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously, believing there are no merits to the Claims as currently presented.

From time to time, in the normal course of its operations, the Company is subject to litigation matters and claims. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict, and the Company’s view of these matters may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold. The Company expenses legal fees as incurred. The Company records a liability for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss is known. An unfavorable outcome to any legal matter, if material, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations or its financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

Leases

The Company has a lease agreement for its manufacturing and office space. Refer toNote 2 Leases above.

Other Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into commitments to purchase inventory and may also provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the Company’s breach of such agreements, services to be provided by the Company, or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain of its officers and employees that will require the Company to, among other things, indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers, or employees. The Company maintains director and officer insurance, which may cover certain liabilities arising from its obligation to indemnify its directors and certain of its officers and employees, and former officers, directors, and employees of acquired companies, in certain circumstances.

**Note 7 –Shareholders’ Equity **

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had 200,000,000 shares of common stock and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized at a $0.00001 par value.

As of March 31, 2025,802,346 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding andno shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.

Reverse Stock Split

On May 7, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split at a ratio ofone-for-twelve. The reverse stock split was effective June 7, 2024. The par value for the Common Stock was not affected.

An additional 107,126 shares of common stock were issued to round up partial shares following the reverse split. As a result of the stock split, immediately thereafter there were 791,580 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

Also, as a result of this reverse stock split, the number of the Company’s shares of common stock issued and outstanding at December 31, 2023 was reduced from 8,076,372 to 673,090.

Director Compensation Program

At the time of initial election or appointment, each independent director will receive an equity retention award in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The aggregate value of the RSUs at the time of grant will be $25,000, with the number of shares underlying the RSUs to be determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trade date immediately prior to the date of grant. Vesting of the RSUs will be as follows: (i) 50% at the time of grant, and (ii) 50% on the first anniversary of the grant date.

In addition, on the first business day of January each year, each independent director who was not initially appointed or elected in the previous year will receive an equity retention award in the form of RSUs. The aggregate value of the RSUs at the time of grant will be $25,000, with the number of shares underlying the RSUs to be determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trade date immediately prior to the date of grant. These RSUs will be fully vested at date of grant.

The Company will pay the Audit Committee Chairman an additional annual fee of $10,000, payable quarterly in advance on the first business day of each calendar quarter, prorated for the period of service in the year, for the services as the Audit Committee Chairman.

The Company will pay the Chairmen of any other committee of the Board an additional annual fee of $5,000, payable quarterly in advance on the first business day of each calendar quarter, prorated for the period of service in the year, for services as a Committee Chairman.

The Company will also reimburse directors for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending Board and committee meetings and undertaking certain matters on the Company’s behalf.

Note 8 –Equity Incentive Plans

2017 Equity Incentive Plan

Under the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, as may be modified and amended by the Company from time to time (the “2017 Equity Plan”), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) (or the compensation committee of the Board, if one is established) may award stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock unit awards (“RSUs”), shares granted as a bonus or in lieu of another award, and other stock-based performance awards. The 2017 Equity Plan allocates 27,778 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Plan Shares”) for issuance of equity awards under the 2017 Equity Plan. If any shares subject to an award are forfeited, expire, or otherwise terminate without issuance of such shares, the shares will, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, or termination, again be available for awards under the 2017 Equity Plan.

As of March 31, 2025, of the 27,778 shares authorized under the 2017 Plan for equity awards,13,641 shares have been issued, awards relating to 11,284 options remain outstanding, and 2,853 shares remain available for future equity awards.

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

On March 22, 2021, the Board approved the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Equity Plan”), which was approved by the stockholders on July 22, 2021. The 2021 Equity Plan permits the Board to grant awards of up to 55,556 shares of common stock. The 2021 Equity Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards and other equity linked awards to our employees, consultants, and directors. If an equity award (i) expires or otherwise terminates without having been exercised in full or (ii) is settled in cash (i.e., the holder of the award receives cash rather than stock), such expiration, termination or settlement will not reduce (or otherwise offset) the number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to this Plan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 the Company issued 9,237 shares of its common stock in settlement of restricted stock units issued to three of its independent directors under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, pursuant to the Director Compensation plan adopted on December 16, 2024.

Note 10 –Income Taxes

As of March 31, 2025, the Company has U.S. federal and state net operating losses (“NOLs”) of approximately $33,054,000, of which $11,196,000 will expire, if not utilized, in the years 2034 through 2037, however, NOLs generated subsequent to December 31, 2017 do not expire but may only be used against taxable income to 80%.

In addition, pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, use of the Company’s NOLs carryforwards may be limited in the event of cumulative changes in ownership of more than 50% within athree-year period. In addition, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and corresponding provisions of state law, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” which is generally defined as a greater than 50% change, by value, in its equity ownership over a three-year period, the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards and other pre-change tax attributes to offset its post-change income or taxes may be limited. Our sale of securities, both in September 2021 and February 2022, will need to be considered for determination of any “ownership change” that we have undergone during a determination period. If an ownership change occurs and our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards is materially limited, it would harm our future bottom-line operating results by effectively increasing our future tax obligations.

The Company must assess the likelihood that its net deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent the Company believes that recovery is not likely, the Company establishes a valuation allowance. Management’s judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against the net deferred tax assets. The Company recorded a full valuation allowance as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Based on the available evidence, the Company believes it is more likely than not that it will not be able to utilize its net deferred tax assets in the foreseeable future. The Company intends to maintain valuation allowances until sufficient evidence exists to support the reversal of such valuation allowances. The Company makes estimates and judgments about its future taxable income that are based on assumptions that are consistent with the Company’s plans. Should the actual amounts differ from the Company’s estimates, the carrying value of the Company’s deferred tax assets could be materially impacted.

Note 11 –Related Party Transactions

Agreements and Transaction with a Company Director

The Company entered into a manufacturer representative agreement with RSX Enterprises (“RSX”) in March 2021 to become a non-exclusive representative for the Company to assist in marketing and soliciting orders.

The consulting agreement will be on a month-to-month basis, and either the Company or Mr. Etten may terminate the arrangement on five days’ notice. The Company has agreed to indemnify Mr. Etten in respect of his services to the Company under the agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company paid Mr. Etten $30,500 in respect of services related to this agreement.
