Pioneer’s products and services are sold to a broad range of customers in the utility, industrial and commercial markets. Pioneer’s customers include, but are not limited to, federal and state government entities, package delivery business’, school bus fleet operations, EV charging infrastructure developers and owners, and distributed energy developers. Pioneer is headquartered in Fort Lee, New Jersey and operates from two (2) additional locations in the United States for manufacturing, service and maintenance, engineering, and sales and administration.
Segments
In determining operating and reportable segments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), the Company concluded that it hasone reportable segment: Critical Power Solutions (“Critical Power”), as defined in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 14, 2025.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading to the reader. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows with respect to the interim consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements but this filing does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for a year-end balance sheet.
ASC 740-270 requires the use of an estimated annual effective tax rate to compute the tax provision during an interim period unless certain exceptions are met. The Company is currently in the process of estimating its annual effective tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2025, and, as such, the annual effective tax rate is unknown.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pioneer and Titan Energy Systems, Inc. (“Titan”), its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and its subsidiary included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Liquidity
The accompanying condensed interim 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. As shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as of March 31, 2025, the Company had $25,840 of cash on hand and working capital of $26,151. The cash on hand was generated primarily from the sale (the “PCEP Sale”) of the Company’s former wholly owned subsidiary, Pioneer Custom Electrical Products Corp. (“PCEP”). On October 29, 2024, the Company closed on the PCEP sale for gross cash proceeds of $48,000 and $2,000 in equity. As of December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a consideration due to the buyer of the PCEP Sale of $3,347 related to a net working capital adjustment. On April 16, 2025, the Company and the buyer of the PCEP Sale finalized the net working capital adjustment and as a result, the Company recorded a $1,147 adjustment to the consideration due to the buyer of the PCEP Sale. See Note 8 – Discontinued Operations for details.
The Company has historically met its cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and bank borrowings, the completion of the sale of the transformer business units in August 2019, the completion of the sale of the PCEP business unit in October 2024, and the sale of common stock. Historically, the Company’s cash requirements were generally for operating activities, debt repayment, capital improvements and acquisitions. The Company expects to meet its cash needs with the working capital and cash flows from the Company’s operating activities. The Company expects its cash requirements to be generally for operating activities, product development and capital improvements. The Company expects that its current cash balance is sufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months from the date our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
Risks and Uncertainties
The continuing impacts of the rising interest rates, inflation, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and geopolitical developments, such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, have resulted, and may continue to result, in a global slowdown of economic activity, which may decrease demand for a broad variety of goods and services, including those provided by the Company’s clients, while also disrupting supply channels, sales channels and advertising and marketing activities for an unknown period of time. Additionally, recent changes to U.S. policy implemented by the U.S. Congress, the Trump administration or any new administration have impacted and may in the future impact, among other things, the U.S. and global economy, international trade relations, unemployment, immigration, healthcare, taxation, the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation and other areas. As a result of the current uncertainty in economic activity, the Company is unable to predict the potential size and duration of the impact on its revenue and its results of operations, if any. The extent of the potential impact of these macroeconomic factors on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on a variety of factors, including the extent of geopolitical disruption and its impact on the Company’s clients, partners, industry, and employees, all of which are uncertain at this time and cannot be accurately predicted. The Company continues to monitor the effects of these macroeconomic factors and intends to take steps deemed appropriate to limit the impact on its business.
There can be no assurance that precautionary measures, whether adopted by the Company or imposed by others, will be effective, and such measures could negatively affect its sales, marketing, and client service efforts, delay and lengthen its sales cycles, decrease its employees’, clients’, or partners’ productivity, or create operational or other challenges, any of which could harm its business and results of operations.
Rounding
All dollar amounts (except share and per share data) presented are stated in thousands of dollars, unless otherwise noted. Amounts may not foot due to rounding.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Since the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies, except as disclosed in this note.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires enhanced income tax disclosures that reflect how operations and related tax risks, as well as how tax planning and operational opportunities, affect the tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. This standard is effective for the Company’s annual reporting beginning January 1, 2025 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220- 40)”, and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date”. This standard requires public companies to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The new standard, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
Revenue Recognition
Bill and Hold Arrangements
From time to time, the Company enters into bill and hold arrangements, whereby the Company sells mobile EV charging equipment and the equipment is warehoused at a Company or third party location pursuant to directions received from the Company’s customer. Even though the equipment is not physically in the customer’s possession, a sale is recognized at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the product. Control is transferred to the customer in a bill and hold arrangement when: customer acceptance specifications have been met, legal title has transferred, the customer has a present obligation to pay for the product and the risk and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer.
Additionally, all the following bill and hold criteria must be met in order for control to be transferred to the customer: the reason for the bill and hold arrangement is substantive, the customer has requested the product be warehoused, the product has been identified as separately belonging to the customer, the product is currently ready for physical transfer to the customer, and the Company does not have the ability to use the product or direct it to another customer.
3. REVENUES
Nature of the Company’s products and services
The Company’s principal products and services include distributed energy resources, power generation equipment and mobile electric vehicle charging solutions.
Products
The Company’s Electrical Infrastructure business (included in discontinued operations; see Note 8 – Discontinued Operations for details) provided electric power systems and equipment and distributed energy resources that helped customers effectively and efficiently protect, control, transfer, monitor and manage their electric energy needs.
The Company’s Critical Power business provides customers with power generation equipment and the Company’s suite of mobile e-Boost electric vehicle charging solutions.
Services
Power generation systems represent considerable investments that require proper maintenance and service in order to operate reliably during a time of emergency. The Company’s power maintenance programs provide preventative maintenance, repair and support service for the Company’s customers’ power generation systems.
The timing of revenue recognition, customer billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable, contract assets and deferred revenue at the end of each reporting period. Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from revenue recognized exceeding amounts billed to customers for contracts utilizing an input method based on the proportion of labor hours incurred as compared to the total estimated labor hours for the fixed-fee contract performance obligations. The Company bills customers as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals, upon achievement of contractual milestones or upon deliveries.
Revenue Recognition
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company recognized $150 and $45 of equipment revenue over time, respectively, from its Critical Power segment. Additionally, the Company recognized $3,623 and $1,064 of revenue at a point in time from the sale of its products, which is typically recognized upon delivery, from its Critical Power segment during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Included within point in time revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $2,337 of revenue recognized pursuant to bill and hold arrangements. There were no bill and hold arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Service revenues include maintenance contracts that are recognized over time based on the contract term and repair services which are recognized as services are delivered. The Company recognized $2,444 and $1,881 of service revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Under its continuing operations, the Company recognizes revenue as services are provided. Amounts billed and due from customers, as well as the value of unbilled account receivables, are generally classified within current assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The change in deferred revenue as of March 31, 2025, was driven primarily by ordinary course contract activity. As of January 1, 2024, the Company had a deferred revenue balance of $307. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $230 and $113 respectively, related to amounts that were included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively, resulting primarily from the progress made on the various active contracts during the respective reporting periods. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $1,146 related to contract liabilities where performance obligations have not yet been satisfied, which has been included within deferred revenue in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Concentration of Risk
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company derived 39% and 11% of its revenue from two customers. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company derived 23% and 16% of its revenue from two customers. As of March 31, 2025, one customer’s outstanding receivable balance equaled 49% of the total outstanding receivable balance. As of December 31, 2024, one customer’s outstanding receivable balance equaled 72% of the total outstanding receivable balance.
Return of a product requires that the buyer obtain permission in writing from the Company. When the buyer requests authorization to return material for reasons of their own, the buyer will be charged for placing the returned goods in saleable condition, restocking charges and for any outgoing and incoming transportation paid by the Company. The Company warrants title to the products, and also warrants the products on date of shipment to the buyer, to be of the kind and quality described in the contract, merchantable, and free of defects in workmanship and material. Returns and warranties during the three months ended March 31, 2025, were $370, and returns and warranties during the three months ended March 31, 2024, were insignificant.

6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
A summary of stock option activity during the three months ended March 31, 2025, is as follows:
| Stock Options | Weighted average exercise price | Weighted average remaining contractual term | Aggregate intrinsic value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outstanding as of January 1, 2025 | 561,476 | $4.22 | ||
| Granted | - | - | ||
| Exercised | - | - | ||
| Forfeited/expired | (7,309) | 6.56 | ||
| Outstanding as of March 31, 2025 | 554,167 | 4.19 | 5.07 | $214 |
| Exercisable as of March 31, 2025 | 537,498 | 4.15 | 4.97 | 214 |
Stock-based compensation expense recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, was approximately $13 and $225, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, there was $68 of stock-based compensation expense remaining to be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average remaining period of 1.3 years.
7. INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded no provision for income taxes, resulting in an effective tax rate (ETR) of 0%, compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%. The difference between the Company’s ETR and the statutory rate was primarily driven by the following significant reconciling items:
| (i) | Full valuation allowance on federal, state, and foreign deferred tax assets: As the Company continues to project that it is not more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realized, no tax benefit was recognized on current quarter losses or deductible temporary differences; |
| (ii) | Non-deductible permanent items, including meals & entertainment, officer compensation under IRC §162(m), and penalties, which increased the statutory rate differential; |
| (iii) | Absence of discrete benefits from foreign tax credit (FTC) utilization or R&D credit return-to-provision (RTP) adjustments in the current period; |
| (iv) | No tax rate changes or deferred remeasurement items were recorded in the quarter. |
As a result, despite incurring a pre-tax loss in the quarter, the Company recorded no tax benefit.
The Company also notes that the prior year December 31, 2024 effective tax rate was 29.75%, primarily due to a discrete gain on the sale of a subsidiary that generated taxable income and allowed the Company to utilize previously reserved capital loss and net operating loss carryforwards, resulting in a partial release of the valuation allowance. No such income or attribute utilization occurred in the current period.
Additionally, due to earnings volatility and the non-reliability of full-year forecasted income, management concluded it was not practicable to estimate a reliable annual effective tax rate. As such, the Company applied the discrete method under ASC 740-270-30-18 to calculate the interim income tax provision.
The Company will continue to apply the discrete method until reliable forecast data becomes available to support a forecast-based ETR.
8. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Sale of Electrical Infrastructure Segment
On October 29, 2024, the Company entered into an Equity Contribution and Purchase Agreement (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, PCEP, Voltaris Power LLC (the “Buyer”) and Pioneer Investment LLC (“Investment”).
