NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE
1— BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Acorn Energy, Inc. (“Acorn”) and its subsidiaries,
OmniMetrix, LLC (“OmniMetrix”) and OMX Holdings, Inc. (collectively, with Acorn and OmniMetrix, “the Company”)
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements.
The December 31, 2023 consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six- and
three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2024.
All
dollar amounts, except per share data, are rounded to the nearest thousand and, thus, are approximate.
These
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on March 7, 2024.
Reverse
Stock Split
On
September 5, 2023, the Board of Directors of Acorn approved a Certificate of Amendment to Acorn’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation
(the “Certificate of Amendment”) that provided for a 1-for-16 reverse stock split of Acorn’s Common Stock (the “Reverse
Stock Split”). Acorn filed the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on September 6, 2023,
and the Reverse Stock Split became effective at 5:00 p.m. EDT on September 7, 2023. At the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split,
every sixteen issued and outstanding shares of Acorn’s Common Stock were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding
share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. Stockholders who would have otherwise been entitled to fractional
shares of Common Stock, as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, received a cash payment in lieu of receiving fractional shares. The value
of the fractional shares repurchased was $ 347 and equated to fifty-eight shares. All share and per share amounts of common stock, options
and warrants contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
and related footnotes have been restated for all periods to give retroactive effect to the Reverse Stock Split and the related fractional
share repurchase for all prior periods presented. Accordingly, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Deficit reflects the
impact of the Reverse Stock Split by reclassifying from “Common Stock” to “Additional paid-in capital” an amount
equal to the aggregate par value of the number of shares by which the total number of shares outstanding decreased as a result of the
Reverse Stock Split.
NOTE
2— ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use
of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
The
preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
7
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable.
The Company’s cash was deposited with a U.S. bank and amounted to $ 1,463,000 at June 30, 2024. The Company does not believe there
is a significant risk of non-performance by its counterparties. For the six- and three-month periods, one customer represented
10 % and 12 % of the Company’s total invoiced sales, respectively. At June 30, 2024, the Company
did not have any customers that represented 10 % or greater of our total accounts receivable. Approximately 25 % of the accounts
receivable at December 31, 2023 was due from one customer which was subsequently collected in full.
Credit risk with respect to the balance of trade receivables is generally diversified due to the number of entities comprising the Company’s
customer base. Although we do not believe there is significant risk of non-performance by these counterparties, any failures or defaults
on their part could negatively impact the value of our financial instruments and could have a material adverse effect on our business,
operations or financial condition.
Inventory
Inventories
are comprised of components (raw materials), work-in-process and finished goods, which are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable
value.
Raw
materials inventory is generally comprised of radios, cables, antennas, and electrical components. Finished goods inventory consists
of fully assembled systems ready for final shipment to the customer. Costs are determined at cost of acquisition on a weighted average
basis and include all outside production and applicable shipping costs.
All
inventories are periodically reviewed to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventory. Management conducts an assessment at each reporting
period of the Company’s inventory reserve and writes off any inventory items that are deemed obsolete.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company’s revenue recognition policy is consistent with applicable revenue recognition guidance and interpretations. The core principle
of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, is to recognize revenue when promised
goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those
goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle, which includes: (1) identifying contracts with
customers, (2) identifying performance obligations within those contracts, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the
transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract, which may include an estimate of variable consideration, and (5) recognizing
revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company assesses whether payment terms are customary or extended in
accordance with normal practice relative to the market in which the sale is occurring. The Company’s sales arrangements generally
include standard payment terms. These terms effectively relate to all customers, products, and arrangements regardless of customer type,
product mix or arrangement size. See Note 10, Revenue, for further discussion.
Revenue
from sales of the hardware products that are distinct products are recorded when shipped while the revenue from sales of the hardware
products (product versions sold prior to September 1, 2023) that were not separable from the Company’s monitoring services was
deferred and amortized over the estimated unit life. Revenue from the prepayment of monitoring fees (generally paid twelve months in
advance) is recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt of payment from the customer and then amortized to revenue over the monitoring
service period. See Notes 9 and 10 for the disaggregation of the Company’s revenue for the periods presented.
Any
sales tax, value added tax, and other tax the Company collects concurrent with revenue producing activities are excluded from revenue.
8
Income
Taxes
The
Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax and income taxes imposed in the state and local jurisdictions where it operates its businesses.
Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in
the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities
of a change in the tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In addition, a valuation allowance
is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred
tax asset will be realized. The income tax expense in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 represents the estimated state tax of
various states on the 2023 income of OmniMetrix.
Basic
and Diluted Net Income Per Share
Basic
net income per share is computed by dividing the net income attributable to Acorn Energy, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period, excluding treasury stock. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive potential of common shares which would result from the exercise of stock options
and warrants. The dilutive effects of stock options and warrants are excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share if
doing so would be antidilutive.
The
combined weighted average number of options (as adjusted to account for the September 2023 1-for-16 reverse stock split) that were excluded
from the computation of diluted net income per share, as they had an antidilutive effect, was 26,000 (with a weighted average exercise
price of $ 8.13 ) and 15,000 (with a weighted average exercise price of $ 9.17 ) for the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2024,
respectively. The combined weighted average number of options excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share was 50,000
(with a weighted average exercise price of $ 7.20 ) and 58,000 (with a weighted average exercise price of $ 6.89 ) for the six- and three-month
periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
The
following table represents the amounts used in computing earnings per share and the effect on net income and the weighted average number
of shares of dilutive potential common stock (as adjusted to account for the September 2023 1-for-16 reverse stock split) and is in thousands,

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, Segment Reporting
(Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through
enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023
and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact
the adoption of ASU 2023-07 will have on its segment reporting disclosures.
9
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated
information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as information related to income taxes paid to
enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This ASU will be effective for the annual period ending December
31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and impacts of adoption of this ASU.
NOTE
3— LIQUIDITY
As
of June 30, 2024, the Company had $ 1,463,000 of consolidated cash.
At
June 30, 2024, the Company had a negative working capital of $ 423,000 . Its working capital includes $ 1,463,000 of cash and deferred revenue
of $ 3,590,000 . Such deferred revenue does not require a significant cash outlay for the revenue to be recognized. Total deferred revenue
decreased by $ 1,004,000 , from $ 5,584,000 at December 31, 2023 to $ 4,580,000 at June 30, 2024, as a result of the sales mix of products
sold. Based on the current products being sold, the Company expects continued decreases in the deferred revenue balance in the foreseeable
future. The balance of deferred hardware revenue at June 30, 2024 will continue to be amortized over the months remaining in the three-year
period since the hardware’s original date of shipment. Net cash increased during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 by $ 14,000 ,
with $ 41,000 provided by operating activities, $ 40,000 used in investing activities, and $ 13,000 provided by financing activities.
As
of August 6, 2024, the Company had cash of $ 1,546,000 . The Company believes that such cash, plus the cash expected to be generated
from operations, will provide sufficient liquidity to finance the corporate activities of Acorn and operating activities of OmniMetrix
at their current level of operations for at least the twelve-month period from the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements. The Company may, at some point, elect to obtain financing to fund additional investments in the business. If the
Company decides to pursue additional financing in the future, it may be in the form of a bank line, a new loan or investment by others,
an equity raise by Acorn which could then facilitate a loan by Acorn to OmniMetrix, or any combination thereof. Whether alternative funds,
such as third-party loans or investments, will be available at the time and on terms acceptable to Acorn and OmniMetrix cannot be determined
at this time.
NOTE
4— ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
For
the Company, ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,”
applies to its contract assets (deferred COGS and deferred sales commissions), lease receivables (sublease, see Note 6) and trade receivables.
There are no expected or estimated credit losses on the Company’s contract assets or its lease receivable based on the Company’s
implementation of ASU 2016-13.
The
Company’s trade receivables primarily arise from the sale of our products to independent residential dealers, industrial distributors
and dealers, national and regional retailers, equipment distributors, solar installers, and certain end users with payment terms generally
ranging from 30 to 60 days. The Company evaluates the credit risk of a customer when extending credit based on a combination of various
financial and qualitative factors that may affect the customers’ ability to pay. These factors include the customers’ financial
condition and past payment experience.
The
Company maintains an allowance for credit losses, which represents an estimate of expected losses over the remaining contractual life
of its receivables considering current market conditions and estimates for supportable forecasts when appropriate. The Company measures
expected credit losses on its trade receivables on an entity-by-entity basis. The estimate of expected credit losses considers a historical
loss experience rate that is adjusted for delinquency trends, collection experience, and/or economic risk where appropriate. Additionally,
management develops a specific allowance for trade receivables known to have a high risk of expected future credit loss.

OmniMetrix
leases office space and office equipment under operating lease agreements. The office lease has an expiration date of September 30, 2025 .
The office equipment lease was entered into in April 2019 and had a sixty-month term. This lease is currently month-to-month until the
Company negotiates a new term. Operating lease payments for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $ 64,000 and $ 63,000 ,
respectively. Operating lease payments for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $ 32,000 and $ 32,000 , respectively.
The present value of future minimum lease payments on non-cancelable operating leases as of June 30, 2024 using a discount rate of 4.5 %
is $ 160,000 . The 4.5 % discount rate used was the estimated incremental borrowing rate when the lease was entered into, which, as defined
in ASC 842: Leases , is the rate of interest that a lessee would have had to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, over a similar
term and in a similar economic environment, an amount equal to the lease payments.

of office space of the Company’s 21,000 square feet of office and production space in the Hamilton Mill Business Park located in
Buford, Georgia, for a monthly sublease payment of $ 2,375 (plus an annual escalator each year of 3%) which includes the base rent plus
a pro-rata share of utilities, property taxes and insurance. Fifty percent of any excess rent received above the per square foot amount
that the Company pays will be remitted to the Company’s landlord less the allocation of any shared expenses and leasehold improvements
specific to the sublease. During each of the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, after the offset of the investment
in leasehold improvements and other expenses related to the sublease, the Company paid its landlord $ 7,000 and $ 3,000 , respectively.

Summary Employee Option Information
The
Company’s stock option plans provide for the grant to officers, directors and employees of options to purchase shares of common
stock. The purchase price may be paid in cash or, if the option is “in-the-money” at the end of the option term, it is automatically
exercised “net”. In a net exercise of an option, the Company does not require a payment of the exercise price of the option
from the optionee but reduces the number of shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of the option by the smallest number of whole
shares that has an aggregate fair market value equal to or in excess of the aggregate exercise price for the option shares covered by
the option exercised. Each option is exercisable for one share of the Company’s common stock. Most options expire within five to
ten years from the date of the grant, and generally vest over a three-year period from the date of the grant.
At
June 30, 2024, 68,869 options were available for grant under the Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan and no options were available
for grant under the 2006 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors. During the six-month period
ended June 30, 2024, 7,900 options were issued of which all were issued in the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. No options were
issued in the three-month period ended June 30, 2024. The options were issued as follows: an aggregate of 2,500 to directors (excluding
the CEO), 2,200 to the CEO, 2,200 to the CFO and an aggregate of 1,000 to employees. In the six- and three-month periods ended June 30,
2024, there were no grants to non-employees (other than the directors, CEO and CFO).
During
the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2024, 2,812 options were exercised of which all were exercised in the three-month period
ended March 31, 2024. No options were exercised in the three-month period ended June 30, 2024. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model to estimate fair value, utilizing the following assumptions for the respective years (all in weighted averages):

9— SEGMENT REPORTING
As
of June 30, 2024, the Company operates in two reportable operating segments, both of which are performed through the Company’s
OmniMetrix subsidiary:
●
Power
Generation (“PG”). OmniMetrix’s PG services provide wireless remote monitoring and control systems and IoT
applications for residential and commercial/industrial power generation equipment. This includes OmniMetrix’s AIRGuard product,
which remotely monitors and controls industrial air compressors, and its Smart Annunciator product, which is typically sold to commercial
customers that require a visual representation of the generator’s status and has a touchscreen display that indicates the current
state of that generator.
●
Cathodic
Protection (“CP”). OmniMetrix’s CP services provide remote monitoring and control products for cathodic protection
systems on gas pipelines serving the gas utilities market and pipeline operators. The CP product lineup includes solutions to remotely
monitor and control rectifiers, test stations and bonds. OmniMetrix also offers the industry’s first RAD TM (Remote
AC Mitigation Disconnect) that mounts onto existing Solid-state Decouplers in the field and can remotely disconnect/connect these
AC mitigation tools, which can drastically reduce a company’s expense while increasing employee safety.
The
Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units, offering different products and services, and are managed separately
as each business requires different technology and marketing strategies.
