Current report
Revenues - Revenues from contracts with customers for the year ended June 30, 2025 were $8,426,835 compared to $2,645,072 for the year ended June 30, 2024. Such increase in our revenues was primarily due tothe rapid expansion of various new sales channels outside of our traditional focus on the local installer market in the Southern California area since the engagement of our new chief executive officer in April 2024. As a result, we achieved the highest level of annual sales in our history.
Current report
General and Administrative Expense - General and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2025 were $6,065,590 compared to $2,828,147 for the year ended June 30, 2024. Such increase was mainly due to our appointment of a new chief executive officer, who was engaged at an annual salary of $350,000 and also received a 4 year amortizing equity award of $2,854,000, as well as the hiring of several other employees since April 2024. The addition of these personnel has resulted in a higher level of both cash compensation expense and other associated expenses, such as marketing and travel, as well as non-cash stock compensation expenses related to the Company’s equity incentive programs.
Current report
Operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended June 30, 2025 was $4,425,752 compared to $1,016,362 for the year ended June 30, 2024. This increase was largely due to the current period increase in our comparative net loss, primarily resulting from an increase in our previously noted cash operating expenses for personnel and related costs, as well as the relatively higher changes in our net working capital needs, including recent stockpiling and prepayment of inventory, on a comparative basis.
Current report
Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended June 30, 2025 was $4,234,161 compared to zero for the year ended June 30, 2024. In February 2025, we completed a private equity offering under which we issued a total of 543,500 shares of our common stock to investors at an offering price of $2.00 per share resulting in gross proceeds of $1,087,000. In September 2024, we entered into an agreement with a newly formed financing entity whereby we obtained a line of credit for borrowings of up to $5,000,000. As of June 30, 2025, we made net borrowings under this credit agreement in the total amount of $383,538 initially to fund a short-term loan that we made to a customer in October 2024, in the amount of $250,000, which was fully repaid in December 2024. Beginning in November 2024, we made short-term borrowings from another lender in the total amount of $5,106,343, of which a portion had been repaid, leaving an outstanding balance as of June 30, 2025 of $2,603,223. While our increasing level of short-term borrowings from this lender have been made at a relatively high borrowing cost in terms of interest rate and fees, we have been able to meet our rising funding needs in this period in large part due to the timely responsiveness of this lender. In December 2024, we also received proceeds from the exercise of warrants issued in our August 2022 public offering in the amount of $160,400.
Current report
Presently, our two main raw material components, batteries and inverters, are imported from different suppliers in China and, until recently, were subject to fairly low tariff rates that had been in effect for several years. Beginning in April 2025, the new Trump Administration implemented a significant increase in tariff rates on all goods imported from China, although it was temporarily suspended for 90 days in April 2025 and the suspension has recently been extended to early November 2025. Prior to the tariff escalation in April 2025, we had anticipated the likelihood of facing such a tariff increase and began stockpiling our inventory of these two components. As a result, we do not anticipate having to purchase a significant level of such components at post-tariff prices for the next several months.
Current report
In the event, however, that such a mutual trade agreement is not reached between the parties within the next several months and we find it necessary to begin purchasing a significant level of our inventory components from China at post-tariff prices, we would be faced with a decision as to whether we should attempt to pass along such tariff increases to our customers through higher prices for our products or absorbing them internally, or some combination of those two alternatives. Either circumstance would likely materially adversely affect our sales and/or our profitability.

Previous report
In May 2019, we completed a public offering of shares of our common stock pursuant to Regulation A of the Securities Act (the “IPO”). The IPO was for a total of 3,500,000 shares of our common stock at an offering price of $1.00 per share. We used the proceeds of the IPO to ramp up production, marketing, and sales of our NV14 product line. In that regard, we have used the proceeds from the offering to fund the marketing, production and distribution of our products, which commenced in July 2019 through a group of wholesale customers in California, as well as to provide additional working capital for other corporate purposes. We have expanded to include one wholesale distribution customer in Nevada.
Previous report
Revenues - Revenues from contracts with customers for the year ended June 30, 2024 were $2,645,072 compared to $3,455,813 for the year ended June 30, 2023. Such decrease was primarily due to various macroeconomic and regulatory factors including the negative impact of new utility regulations in the State of California that we believe has caused an extended economic disincentive for residential utility customers to acquire our energy storage systems since the December 2022 enactment date and continuing through the year ended June 30, 2024.
Previous report
General and Administrative Expense - General and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2024 were $2,828,147 compared to $3,293,758 for the year ended June 30, 2023. Such decrease was primarily due to the reduction in the expense recorded for the fair value of incentive shares of common stock earned by our executive officers under their current employment contracts.
Previous report
Operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities in the year ended June 30, 2024 was $1,016,362, compared to $2,108,001 in the year ended June 30, 2023, reflecting a significant decrease in net working capital requirements in the current fiscal year period.
Previous report
Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities in the year ended June 30, 2024 was zero compared to $3,780,405 in the year ended June 30, 2023. As further discussed below, our net cash provided by financing activities in the year ended June 30, 2023 was entirely attributable to the successful completion of an underwritten public offering of our equity securities in early August 2022.
Previous report
In conjunction with the public offering, all holders of our 2018 convertible notes in the total amount of $59,251, including accrued interest, converted their debt into a total of 9,404,867 shares of common stock at the stated conversion rate, and all holders of our 2021 convertible notes in the total amount of $1,068,000 converted their debt into a total of 267,000 shares of common stock at the stated conversion rate. As a result of the simultaneous conversion of both sets of convertible notes, we fully eliminated our convertible debt.

Assembly Inventory Purchase
Previous report
In April 2023, we closed the bulk purchase of raw materials inventory from our contract manufacturer by making a cash payment to that company in the net amount of approximately $1.3 million. This transaction was completed pursuant to an amendment of our Master Supply Agreement with our contract manufacturer. In addition to the purchase of the raw materials inventory from our contract manufacturer, this amendment provided for the eventual assumption by us of full responsibility from our contract manufacturer for the manufacturing of our proprietary Energy Storage Systems (“ESS”) units. Pursuant to the amendment, we assumed such responsibility for the manufacturing process surrounding our ESS units from our contract manufacturer on June 1, 2023. In conjunction with assuming this responsibility, we hired the employees of our contract manufacturer who previously performed contract manufacturing services for us.
Previous report
We plan to hire additional “assemblers” as necessary. All of our manufacturing certifications are listed under NeoVolta. The amended agreement in April 2023 had no effect on our present Sublease Agreement with our contract manufacturer, pertaining to our existing manufacturing location in Poway, CA (see “Item 2 – Properties”).
Reworded paragraphs (8)
Previous wording
We are a designer, manufacturer, and seller of high-end Energy Storage Systems (or ESS), primarily our NeoVolta NV14, NV 24 and, to a lesser extent, our NV14-K, which can store and use energy via batteries and an inverter at residential or commercial sites. We were founded to identify new ways to leverage emerging technologies with the dynamic changes that are taking place in the energy delivery space. We primarily market and sell our products directly to our certified solar installers and solar equipment distributors. We are also pursuing agreements with residential developers, commercial developers, and other commercial opportunities. Because we are purely dedicated to energy solar systems, virtually all of our current resources and efforts go into further developing our flagship NV14 and NV 24 products, while focusing on specific industry needs for our next generation of products. We believe we are unique in the marketplace due to our low cost, our innovative battery chemistry, our product versatility and our commitment to installer service. Because of these factors, we believe NeoVolta is uniquely equipped to establish itself as a major player in the energy storage market.

Cost of Goods Sold - Cost of goods sold for the year ended June 30, 2024 were $2,134,725 compared to $2,767,818 for the year ended June 30, 2023. The cost of goods sold in both periods reflected the cost of procuring and assembling the component parts of the energy storage systems that were sold in each fiscal year and resulted in gross profits on such sales of approximately 19% and 20%, respectively, with such decrease largely being due to a partial reserve for obsolescence on component parts of our NV-14K’s of $90,000 in the year ended June 30, 2024, which was offset in part by efficiencies that we have realized from taking over responsibility for manufacturing of our products from a contract operator since last year.
Current wording
Cost of Goods Sold - Cost of goods sold for the year ended June 30, 2025 were $6,920,130 compared to $2,134,725 for the year ended June 30, 2024. The cost of goods sold in both periods reflected the cost of procuring and assembling the component parts of the energy storage systems that were sold in each fiscal year and resulted in essentially comparable gross profits on such sales of approximately 18% and 19% in each year.
Previous wording
Research and Development Expense - Research and development expenses for the year ended June 30, 2024 were $19,154 compared to $29,936 for the year ended June 30, 2023. Such fluctuation was due to a modest decrease in the level of our product development efforts.
Current wording
Research and Development Expense - Research and development expenses for the year ended June 30, 2025 were $157,305 compared to $19,154 for the year ended June 30, 2024. Such increase was largely due to a higher level of focus by our new chief executive officer on product development efforts.
Previous wording
Other Income and Expense - Interest income for the year ended June 30, 2024 was $33,644 compared to zero for the year ended June 30, 2023. This increase was due to rising money market rates which have enabled the Company to earn interest on its investable cash in the year ended June 30, 2024. Interest expense for the year ended June 30, 2024 was zero compared to $4,134 for the year ended June 30, 2023, reflecting the conversion of our 2018 and 2021 convertible notes in conjunction with the closing of our public equity offering in August 2022.
Current wording
Other Income and Expense – Interest expense for the year ended June 30, 2025 was $320,417 compared to zero for the year ended June 30, 2024, reflecting interest attributable to borrowings made under our line of credit and another borrowing arrangement obtained since June 30, 2024. Interest income for the year ended June 30, 2025 was $2,011 compared to $33,644 for the year ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was due to our lower level of investable cash in the year ended June 30, 2025.
Previous wording
Net Loss - Net loss for the year ended June 30, 2024 was $2,303,310 compared to $2,639,833 for the year ended June 30, 2023, representing the aggregate of the various revenue and expense categories indicated above. We have not recognized any income tax benefit for these net losses due to the uncertainty of our ultimate realization.

Previous wording
As of June 30, 2024, we had a cash balance of approximately $1.0 million and net working capital of approximately $4.6 million. Currently, we are not generating a break-even level of net operating cash flow from our net sales. However, we anticipate that demand for our products will ultimately increase over time and that we will have sufficient cash to operate for at least the next 12 months.
Current wording
As of June 30, 2025, we had a cash balance of approximately $0.8 million and net working capital of approximately $3.2 million. Currently, we are not generating a break-even level of net operating cash flow from our net sales.

We believe that certain accounting policies, particularly those related to the recognition of revenues arising from the sales of our ESS products to customers of our business, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. With regard to revenue recognition, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which was adopted on July 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method, with no impact to the Company’s comparative financial statements. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those goods or services. Revenue is recognized based on the following five step model:

Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to our financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, set forth below under, “Index to Financial Statements”, for a further description of our accounting policies and estimates. None of those policies are deemed to be critical accounting policies nor critical accounting estimates. As reflected in Note 1, Management has determined that the Company operates in only one reportable segment, which is the development and commercialization of energy storage products.
