B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying financial statements are consolidated and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Segment Information

 

The Company manages its business activities and operates in a single operating and reportable segment. Operating segments are defined as components of a public entity that engages in business activities and for which discrete financial information and operating results are available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

 

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) has been determined to be the chief operating decision maker of the Company. The CEO uses net income, as reported on our income statements, to assess financial performance and allocate resources. The CEO manages and evaluates the results of the Company and net income is used to evaluate key operating decisions, such as making strategic acquisitions, determining transaction structures to capitalize on the Company’s business plan, and allocating resources for general and administrative expenditures. The CEO does not review balance sheet assets when assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. All significant segment expenses are presented separately on the Company’s statement of operations. There are no other significant segment expenses or other segment items that would require disclosure.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make various assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses. Changes in these assumptions, judgments, and estimates will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events and, accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from amounts previously reported. The more significant areas requiring the use of assumptions, judgments and estimates in these financials include cash flow inputs for impairment analysis and fair value of equity instruments issued with contracts. While management believes these estimates are reasonable, changes in facts and assumptions, or the discovery of new information may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and it is reasonably possible these estimates could be revised in the near term, and these revisions could be material.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had cash equivalents. The Company maintains deposits primarily in one financial institution, which may at times exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company has not experienced any losses related to amounts in excess of FDIC limits.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not typically bear interest. The Company regularly monitors and assesses its risk of not collecting amounts owed by customers, including the outstanding note receivable. The Company operates in the renewable energy services industry and its accounts receivables are primarily derived from rural electric cooperatives.

 

At each balance sheet date, the Company recognizes an expected allowance for credit losses. The Company has elected the practical expedient to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date will persist through the reasonable and supportable forecast period for its eligible assets. The Company also considers subsequent collections of accounts receivable balances received after the balance sheet date through the date before the financial statements are available to be issued when determining its allowance estimate. As necessary, the Company will adjust historical data used in the estimation to reflect current conditions. This estimate is calculated on a pooled basis where similar risk characteristics exist. If applicable, accounts receivable are evaluated individually when they do not share similar risk characteristics which could exist in circumstances where amounts are considered at risk or uncollectible.

 

The allowance estimate is derived from a review of the Company’s historical losses based on the aging of receivables. The Company believes historical loss information is a reasonable starting point in which to calculate the expected allowance for credit losses as the Company’s customers have remained constant since the Company’s inception. Since inception, the Company has not incurred any credit losses. As a result, management has determined that no allowance for credit losses is necessary.

 

The Company writes off receivables when there is information that indicates the debtor is facing significant financial difficulty and there is no possibility of recovery. If any recoveries are made from any accounts previously written off, they will be recognized in income (or an offset to credit loss expense) in the year of recovery. The Company incurred no write-offs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable on an annual basis as of the date of the balance sheet. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying amounts to future undiscounted cash flows that the assets are expected to generate.

 

If long-lived assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair market value and is recorded in the period the determination was made. Based upon management’s assessment, there was no impairment of long-lived assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

 

Revenue

 

The Company recognizes revenue based on the transfer of control to the customer, reflecting the consideration expected to be received in exchange for our services and products. The Company assesses customers’ ability and intention to pay based on factors such as historical payment experience and financial condition, and we typically bill customers on a monthly basis. Contracts with customers are generally on 30 day payment terms. Contracts may include bundled pricing covering multiple performance obligations, such as monitoring services, maintenance services and mobilization services. In these instances, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract based on relative stand-alone selling prices, or estimates of such prices, and recognize revenue as control of each product or service is transferred to the customer.

 

In September 2025, the Company entered into a Master Supply and Services Agreement (“the Agreement”) with GridCore Infrastructure LLC (“GridCore”) whereby the Company would provide the design, manufacture and integration of its proprietary battery management system to GridCore’s existing fleet of Battery Energy Storage Systems unit (“the BESS units”). The contract price was $97.2 million, of which the Company received a cash down payment of $10.6 million on September 11, 2025. The remaining purchase price of $86.6 million was paid in the form of a secured promissory note issued by GridCore calling for semi-annual interest payments beginning March 10, 2026 and quarterly principal payments of $21.65 million beginning December 10, 2026, with the final payment due on September 10, 2027.

 

The Company successfully installed, deployed and energized its battery management and monitoring system on the BESS units during September 2025, establishing the Placed-In-Service date for the BESS units effective on September 26, 2025, effectively satisfying the Company’s contractual obligations under the $97.2 million supply agreement.

 

In October 2025, upon GridCore’s sale of its BESS battery fleet to DBD Express I LLC (“DBD”), the Company entered into an Asset Management Agreement with DBD, a subsidiary of BESS Rural Electric Cooperative, to provide asset management and battery deployment to DBD’s BESS battery fleet. The Agreement calls for a minimum monthly fee of $5,000 per BESS battery unit deployed. The Company anticipates deploying the first BESS units in March 2026, generating a recurring revenue fee under this agreement.

 

At December 31, 2025, the Company determined the $86.6 million note receivable from GridCore plus required interest payments are fully collectible.

 

Patents

 

The costs incurred for developing patents are capitalized as an intangible asset. Patents are amortized under the straight-line method from the date of issuance over the shorter of 20 years or its expected economic life. As of December 31, 2025, one patent had been issued and is being amortized over nineteen years.

 

Right-Of-Use Assets and Lease Obligations

 

The Company has a lease for its office space and certain equipment. A lease provides the lessee the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating lease right-of-use assets and finance lease right-of-use assets (collectively “ROU assets”) represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Operating lease liabilities and finance lease liabilities (collectively, “lease liabilities”) represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from ROU assets and lease liabilities and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Operating leases are included in right-of-use operating lease asset-related party and operating lease obligations on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment and finance lease liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

The discount rate used to determine the commencement date present value of lease payments is the interest rate implicit in the lease, or when that is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes the applicable risk-free rate in effect at the time of the lease inception. ROU assets include any lease payments required to be made prior to commencement and exclude lease incentives. Both ROU assets and lease liabilities exclude variable payments not based on an index or rate, which are treated as period costs. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain significant residual value guarantees, restrictions, or covenants.

 

The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. When determining the probability of exercising such options, the Company considers contract-based, asset-based, entity-based, and market-based factors. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. For these leases, there may be variability in future lease payments as the amount of non-lease component is typically revised from one period to the next.

 

At December 31, 2025, the Company had an operating lease for office, warehouse and manufacturing space with a related party which required a right-of-use operating lease asset and operating lease obligation.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based upon inputs that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, which are characterized according to a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes those inputs based on the degree to which they are observable. Observable inputs represent market data obtained from independent sources, whereas inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources reflect management’s estimates and assumptions and are used if observable inputs are not reasonably available without undue cost and effort.

 

The three input levels are as follows:

 

 

·

Level 1 — Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

 

 

 

 

·

Level 2 — Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies.

 

 

 

 

·

Level 3 — Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

 

The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment that may affect the valuation and its placement within the hierarchy levels.

 

The carrying values of financial instruments, including accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the note receivable approximates fair value due to being at market rates. The carrying value of the warrants are based on Level 3 inputs, as more fully described in Note F.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

In September 2025, FASB issued ASU 2025-06, an updated guidance to ASC 350-40, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software. The Company has adopted the guidance of the ASU effective January 1, 2025. Under the updated guidance, there are two criteria to be met for entities to begin capitalizing software costs.

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has concluded it has not yet reached both criteria, and has charged to expense all research and development expenses incurred. Research and development expenses are charged to expense as incurred as they relate to design and development and totaled $1,918,812 and $1,085,480 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes have been accounted for in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

The Company adheres to the provision of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”, which specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements for earnings (loss) per share for entities with publicly held commons stock.

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed in the same way as basic earnings (loss) per common share except the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would be outstanding if all potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company had no dilutive share for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company had 62,312,964 and no antidilutive shares as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to outstanding warrants.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09”), which updates income tax disclosures related to the effective income tax rate reconciliation and requires disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-9 as of January 1, 2025 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires public entities to disclose additional information about certain costs and expenses included in relevant expense captions presented on the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2024-03 to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

 

On January 1, 2025, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05: Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient for an entity to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date will persist through the reasonable and supportable forecast period for eligible assets as well as provide a policy election to consider subsequent collections of balances received after the balance sheet date through a date selected by the entity. The Company applied the standard on a prospective basis to its eligible assets of accounts receivable and contract assets. There was no material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition upon adoption of the new standard.

 

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”), which provides new criteria for evaluating when entities can begin capitalizing software costs under ASC 340-40, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027 on either a prospective basis, retrospective basis or via a modified prospective transition method, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard for fiscal year 2025, effective January 1, 2025. The adoption of ASU 2025-06 had no impact to fiscal 2024, as the Company previously expensed all software costs in accordance with ASC 340-40
