Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 –ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES
We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. These consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in our opinion, include all material adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated cash flows, operating results, and balance sheets for the periods presented. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for fiscal year 2025 due to seasonal, world events and other factors. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes presented on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2024 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 29, 2025.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coda Octopus Group, Inc. and its wholly owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries (“Group”). All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The accounting estimates and assumptions that require management’s most significant, challenging, and subjective judgment include estimates related to the percentage of completion method used to account for contracts including costs and earnings in excess of billings, billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings. Actual results realized by the Company may differ from management’s estimates.
NOTE 2 –REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Topic 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers(“Topic 606”).
Topic 606 has established a five-step process to determine the amount of revenue to record from contracts with customers. The five steps are:
| ● | Identify the contract with the customer; |
| ● | Identify the performance obligations in the contract with customer; |
| ● | Determine the transaction price; |
| ● | Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations; and |
| ● | Recognize revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied. |
NOTE 2 – REVENUE RECOGNITION (Continued)
We have three business segments:
| ● | Marine Technology Business |
| ● | Acoustics Sensors and Materials Business; and |
| ● | Marine Engineering Business |
Marine Technology Business (“Products Business”)
The Products Business revenues are earned under written contracts with its customers. Its Business Model includes:
Outright sale of underwater solutions (including hardware and software)
Rental of underwater equipment (including hardware and software)
Support services (including field installation and training)
Technical Support Services
Warranty Coverage and Through Life Support (TLS) sales
Customization of technology services
All its products and services are sold on a stand-alone basis and those market prices are evidence of the value of these products and services. Revenue derived from outright sale is recognized when its performance obligations are met – typically upon delivery and passing of risks in accordance with the contract terms. For rentals the rental period typically commences when the equipment is under the control of the customer and revenue derived from these contracts is recognized on a daily basis during the rental period. Revenue derived from services is recognized when our performance obligations are met under the terms of the contract. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we recognize product revenue by allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis and recognize revenue when performance obligations are met. Software license sales for which any services rendered are not considered distinct to the functionality of the software, we recognize revenue upon delivery of the software by the provision of the software installers and activation codes to the software.
Our contracts sometimes require customer payments in advance of revenue recognition. These are recognized as revenue when we have fulfilled our obligations under the respective contracts. Until such time, we recognize these prepayments as deferred revenue.
Our contracts do not give the customer the right of return. Where there are contractual failures giving rise to post-sale obligations these are addressed under our warranty or through life support provisions. The Company calculates its warranty expense provision based on its historical warranty experience and adjustments are made periodically to reflect actual warranty expenses.
Acoustic Sensors and Materials Business (“PAL”)
PAL revenues are earned under written contracts with its customers. Its Business Model includes:
Outright sale of sensors (including hardware and software) and materials
Warranty Coverage
Post Sale Calibration Services
Customization of technology services
All its products and services are sold on a stand-alone basis, and those market prices are evidence of the value of these products and services. Revenue derived from outright sale is recognized when its performance obligations are met – typically upon delivery and passing of risks in accordance with the contract terms. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we recognize product revenue by allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis and recognize revenue when performance obligations are met. Software license sales for which any services rendered are not considered distinct to the functionality of the software, we recognize revenue upon delivery of the software by the provision of the software installers and activation codes to the software.
Our contracts sometimes require customer payments in advance of revenue recognition. These are recognized as revenue when we have fulfilled our obligations under the respective contracts. Until such time, we recognize these prepayments as deferred revenue.
Our contracts do not give the customer the right of return. Where there are contractual failures giving rise to post-sale obligations these are addressed under our warranty or through life support provisions. The Company calculates its warranty expense provision based on its historical warranty experience and adjustments are made periodically to reflect actual warranty expenses.
Marine Engineering Business (“Engineering Business”)
The Engineering Business revenues are earned under written contracts with its customers. Its Business Model includes:
Provision of engineering services
Supply of various types of proprietary products (such as Thermite® and FireSafe®)
Warranty Coverage
Post-Sale Service and Repair
NOTE 2 – REVENUE RECOGNITION (Continued)
With respect to revenues related to our Engineering Business, there are contracts in place that specify the fixed hourly rate and other reimbursable costs to be billed based on material and direct labor hours incurred and revenue is recognized on these contracts based on material and the direct labor hours incurred. Revenues from fixed-price contracts are recognized on the percentage of completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred (materials and direct labor hours) to date to estimated total cost (materials and direct labor hours) for each contract. This method is used as we consider expenditures for direct materials and labor hours to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.
On a quarterly basis, we examine all our fixed-price contracts to determine if there are any losses to be recognized during the period. Any such loss is recorded in the quarter in which the loss first becomes apparent based upon costs incurred to date and the estimated costs to complete as determined by experience from similar contracts. Variations from estimated contract performance could result in adjustments to operating results.
For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we recognize product revenue by allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis and recognize revenue when performance obligations are met.
Recoverability of Deferred Costs
In accordance with Topic 606, we defer costs on projects for service revenue. Deferred costs consist primarily of incremental direct costs to customize and install systems, as defined in individual customer contracts, including costs to acquire hardware and software from third parties and payroll costs for our employees and other third parties. The pricing of these service contracts is intended to provide for the recovery of these types of deferred costs over the life of the contract.
We recognize such costs in accordance with our revenue recognition policy by contract. For revenue recognized under the percentage of completion method, costs are recognized as products are delivered or services are provided in accordance with the percentage of completion calculation. For revenue recognized over time, costs are recognized ratably over the term of the contract, commencing on the date of revenue recognition. At each quarterly balance sheet date, we review deferred costs, to ensure they are ultimately recoverable.
Any anticipated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized when evidence indicates the estimated total cost of a contract exceeds its estimated total revenue.
Other Revenue Disclosures
See Notes 15 and 16 – Segment Analysis and Disaggregation of Revenue. These Notes respectively provide disclosure of our revenue by segment (Marine Technology Business, Acoustics Sensors and Materials Business and Engineering Business); revenues from external customers and cost of those revenues; and the split of revenue by geography including within and outside the USA.
NOTE 3 –COST OF GOODS SOLD
Our cost of goods sold includes the cost of materials and related direct costs. With respect to sales made through the Company’s sales agents distribution network, we include in our costs of goods sold commission paid to agents for the specific sales they make. Without using agents, we would not be eligible to participate in the Request for Proposals (“RFP”) for these sales on which we incur commission costs. All other sales-related expenses, including those related to unsuccessful bids, are included in our selling, general and administrative costs. As a component of the cost of goods sold, commission costs incurred in the three month period ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 were $390,384 and $132,222, respectively. Commission costs in the six month period ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 were $635,893 and $425,406, respectively.
NOTE 4 –FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments include cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
NOTE 5 –FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Assets and liabilities are translated at the prevailing exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. Related revenues and expenses are translated at weighted average exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. Stockholders’ equity is recorded at the historical exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component in stockholders’ equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income or (loss) as may be appropriate. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

NOTE 9 –ACQUISITIONS
On October 29, 2024, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Precision Acoustics Limited (PAL) for $6,538,569 in cash. At the acquisition date, the Company had immediate access to PAL’s cash balance of $1,933,284, which resulted in a net cash outlay by the Company at the acquisition date of $4,605,285. The Company agreed to pay the sellers for all cash in excess of the agreed working capital amount of $595,869 in PAL’s bank account on the date of its acquisition. This resulted in the Company paying $1,337,415 for the excess cash balance.
The Company acquired PAL to gain access to its expertise in acoustic and medical imaging technologies which we believe can be leveraged through development for use in the subsea market, the primary sector for our core business, the Marine Technology Business, and more broadly to expand the Group’s collective capabilities in order to qualify and compete for larger Defense-related contracts.
In the Current Quarter, PAL contributed revenues of $1,299,069 and earnings before tax of $173,871 to our consolidated results. In the six month period ended April 30, 2025, it contributed revenues of $2,611,330 and earnings before tax of $729,920 to our consolidated results. The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information of the Company as if the business combination had occurred at the beginning of the Company’s comparable quarterly reporting period. The unaudited supplemental pro-forma information concerning revenue and expenses for PAL (which have been translated from British Pound to USD using the exchange rate used by the Company for those reporting periods) is shown below:
| Pro forma | Pro forma | Pro forma | Pro forma | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Three Months | Three Months | Six Months | Six Months | |
| Ended | Ended | Ended | Ended | |
| April 30, | April 30, | April 30, | April 30, | |
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Net Revenue | ||||
| Coda Octopus Group | $5,718,390 | $5,323,178 | $9,615,844 | $9,784,369 |

| Combined Net Revenue | $7,017,459 | $6,790,053 | $12,227,174 | $12,362,291 |
| Net Income | ||||
| Amortization of acquired intangible assets, pro forma | $(118,734) | $(115,511) | $(234,032) | $(232,029) |
| Coda Octopus Group | 1,070,974 | 1,415,238 | 1,427,900 | 2,045,126 |
| Precision Acoustics | 125,522 | (135,384) | 796,869 | 9,080 |
| Combined Net Income | $1,077,762 | $1,164,343 | $1,990,737 | $1,822,177 |
The Company did not have any material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported proforma information.
These pro forma amounts have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the Company’s results to reflect the additional amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to intangible assets had been applied from November 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025.
In fiscal year 2024, the Company incurred $41,531 of acquisition related costs. These expenses are included in our general and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the year ended October 31, 2024.
The acquisition of PAL includes contingent consideration arrangements (“Earn Outs”) that requires additional consideration to be paid by the Company to the sellers of PAL based on future revenue and pre-tax income of PAL over a three-year period. These amounts are payable up to three years after the acquisition date. The potential Earn Out provision amounts as at October 31, 2024 are shown in the table below applying an exchange rate (from British Pound to USD) of $1.278973:
| Earn Out | 2025 FY | 2026 FY | 2027 FY |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue Target | $5,334,584 | $5,867,914 | $6,454,962 |
| Pre-Tax Profit Target | $1,046,476 | $1,295,597 | $1,573,133 |
| Earn Out Amount Payable based on Targets | $208,472 | $418,223 | $652,275 |
The actual Earn Out obligations are specified in British Pound and therefore, if triggered, the amounts stated above may vary according to exchange rate fluctuations.
Based on the projections the Company used, there would be no earnouts payable, and subsequently, no contingent liability for earnout payments has been recorded in the Company’s accounts in the Current Quarter. To the extent that the Company does not record a contingent liability for these payments, any amount actually earned under the Earn Out provisions would be expensed in the year the qualifying conditions are met. The Company has up to one-year from October 29, 2024, to make any measurement period adjustments to the fair value of the opening balance sheet.
The goodwill is attributable to the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including an experienced workforce that will help accelerate product development and our go-to-market strategy, as well as expected future synergies generated by integrating PAL’s products with those in our existing platform. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Prior to the acquisition, PAL was a non-key supplier to our Marine Technology Business, which purchased on average approximately $80,000 of acoustic materials from PAL. It expects to continue to purchase these materials, at a similar level from PAL in the future.
The fair value of assets acquired includes non-competes and value of technology. The estimated future annual amortization expenses of finite-lived assets relating to the PAL acquisition for our fiscal year 2025 is $468,064 and in the three month and six month periods ended April 30, 2025, amortization expenses for PAL were $118,734 and $234,032, respectively.

NOTE 11 –RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On October 27, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 will affect how we report segment information, starting with our Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2025, and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q starting with our quarterly report for the quarter ended January 31, 2026. The ASU requires that we provide disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items that are regularly provided to our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“the CODM”) and included in each reported measure of segment profit or loss. We will also have to disclose other segment items by reportable segment (i.e., the difference between reported segment revenue less the significant segment expenses (which are disclosed), less reported segment profit or loss). The information needed for these disclosures is available, and we are determining the best way to provide that information for these required segment disclosures.
On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures(“ASU 2024-03*”*) which is an update to Topic 220, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income. ASU 2024-03 enhances transparency and decision-usefulness of expense disclosures in response to investors’ requests for more detailed, disaggregated expense information, enabling a clearer understanding of a public business entity’s performance and cost structure. The amendments improve disclosure requirements in financial statement notes for specific expense categories including: (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, (e) certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles in the same disclosure as other disaggregation requirements, (f) qualitative description of amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not necessarily disaggregated quantitatively, as well as (g) the total amount of selling expenses, and in annual reporting periods, the entity’s definition of selling expense. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and therefore will be included in our Form 10-K for our fiscal year 2028 and Form 10-Qs beginning after December 15, 2027 (i.e., our first quarter of fiscal 2029 interim report). Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating ASU 2024-03 to determine the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures(“ASU 2023-09”)*,*which is an update to Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments in this update relate to improvements regarding the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation by jurisdiction of information included in the effective income tax rate reconciliation and for income taxes paid. Also, the amendments allow investors to better assess an entity’s (i) capital allocation decisions, (ii) worldwide operations, and (iii) related tax risks, tax planning, and operational opportunities that affect the effective income tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The other amendments in this update improve the effectiveness and comparability of disclosures relating to pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit) and remove disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial or relevant. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public entities starting in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and therefore will be included in our Form 10-K for our fiscal year 2026. Early adoption is permitted. We expect that the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will not have an impact on our results of operations and financial condition but will have a material impact on the disclosures required in the relevant notes to the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 14 –2017 AND 2021 STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS
2017 and 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (together “SIPs”)
On December 6, 2017, the Board of Directors adopted the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its stockholders by enabling the Company and its subsidiaries to attract and retain qualified individuals through opportunities for equity participation in the Company, and to reward those individuals who contribute to the Company’s achievement of its economic objectives. The Plan was adopted subject to Stockholders’ approval and was approved by Stockholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting held on July 24, 2018, and provides for a maximum of 913,612 to be issued under this Plan. On July 12, 2021, a second plan was adopted by the Board of Directors (2021 Plan). The 2021 Plan is identical to the 2017 Plan in all material respects except that the maximum number of shares allocated for issuance is 1,000,000.
The shares allocated for issuance under the SIPs may, at the election of the Compensation Committee, be either treasury shares or shares authorized but unissued, and, if treasury shares are used, all references in the SIPs to the issuance of shares will, for corporate law purposes, be deemed to mean the transfer of shares from treasury.
Pursuant to the terms of the 2017 Plan, during the three month ended April 30, 2025, the Company granted 5,766 restricted stock awards. There were no forfeitures or treasury stock created. During the three months ended April 30, 2025,3,500 options were exercised on a cashless basis, pursuant to which the Company issued 1,444 shares of common stock. During the three months ended April 30, 2025,2,056 shares were returned to the Plan as a result of the exercise of options on a cashless basis during the period.
During the six months ended April 30, 2025, the Company granted 17,646 restricted stock awards. There were no forfeitures or treasury stock created. During the six months ended April 30, 2025 there were 53,003 options exercised on a cashless basis, pursuant to which 24,761 shares of common stock were issued. During the six months ended April 30, 2025,28,242 shares were returned to the Plan as a result of the exercise of options on a cashless basis during the six month period.
As of April 30, 2025, there were 1,379,348 shares available for future issuance under the 2017 and 2021 Plans.
The total stock compensation expense during the three month period ended April 2025 and 2024 was $66,239 and ($60,862), respectively. During the six months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, these were $166,384 (of which $81,400 constituted unregistered stock which was issued outside of the SIPs) and $16,214, respectively.
NOTE 15 –SEGMENT ANALYSIS
We operate three reportable segments which are the “Marine Technology Products Business”, “Acoustic Sensors and Materials Business” and “Marine Engineering Business” and which are managed separately based upon fundamental differences in their operations, allocation of resources and markets.
Segment operating income is total segment net revenue reduced by cost of revenues and operating expenses (research and development and selling, general & administrative) identifiable with the reporting business segment. Overhead includes general corporate administrative costs.
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based upon operating income. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the critical accounting policies in Item 2 of this Form 10-Q. Our CODM regularly reviews consolidated net sales, consolidated operating expenses, and consolidated operating income (loss) by segment. Amounts included in consolidated operating expenses include “cost of sales,” “R&D expenses”, “selling, general and administrative expenses,” and “other operating expense (income), net”. Our CODM manages our business by reviewing business plans and strategy, annual forecasts and consolidated results by segment on a quarterly basis.
The Net Revenues shown in this Note 15 in the tables below comprise sales which have been made externally and exclude sales between the companies within the Group (“Inter-Company Sales”). For segment reporting purposes we have, nevertheless, included in the Supplemental Disclosures in the tables below, information on Inter-Company Sales in the reporting period. Inter-Company sales are not included in our net revenues.
Marine Technology Business
The Marine Technology Business constitutes our core business in the Group and is a supplier of various technologies to the underwater/subsea market. Its key technologies are its real time 3D volumetric imaging sonars and diving solutions (DAVD). It also supplies a suite of geophysical products, inertial navigation sensors, rental equipment, customization of technology services and field support services.
Acoustic Sensors and Materials Business
The Company acquired Precision Acoustics Limited (PAL) on October 29, 2024. PAL is a supplier of acoustic sensors and materials. PAL serves a broad base of markets such as the medical, subsea, defense, universities and research and development institutes.
Marine Engineering Business
The Marine Engineering Business operates primarily as subcontractors to prime defense contractors where they provide engineering services which typically form part of larger mission critical defense systems.
The following tables summarize segment asset and operating balances by reportable segment for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company’s reportable business segments sell their goods and services in four geographic locations:
| ● | Americas |
| ● | Europe |
| ● | Australia/Asia |
| ● | Middle East/Africa |

NOTE 17 –INCOME TAXES
Our tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter we may update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment.
Our quarterly tax provision, and our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate, is subject to significant variation, due to several factors including variability in accurately predicting our pre-tax income and/or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate. Our effective tax rate can be more or less volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income or loss.
We estimate that the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2025, and 2024, was 28.2% and 17.2%, respectively and for the six months ended April 30, 2025, and 2024, was 9.5% and 15.6%, respectively. In the three and six months ended April 30, 2025, we made an income tax provision of $374,701 and $423,575, respectively. In the three and six months ended April 30, 2024, we made an income tax provision of $191,073 and $157,058, respectively.
In the three and six months ended April 30, 2025, the Company made awards of restricted stock and recorded a deferred tax benefit of $17,853 and $44,842 respectively, compared to a deferred tax expense in the previous three and six months to April 30, 2024, of $34,904 and $221,975 respectively.
