REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Pioneer
Power Solutions, Inc.
Opinion
on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”)
as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows
for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated
financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years
in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Restatement
of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements
As
discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2022 to correct misstatements.
Basis
for Opinion
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance
with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part
of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether
due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matters
Critical
audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required
to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial
statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit
matters.

1.
BUSINESS ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Pioneer
Power Solutions, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (referred to herein as the “Company” or “Pioneer”) design,
manufacture, integrate, refurbish, service, distribute and sell electric power systems, distributed energy resources, power generation
equipment and mobile electric vehicle (“EV”) charging solutions. The Company’s products and services are sold to a
broad range of customers in the utility, industrial and commercial markets. The Company’s customers include, but are not limited
to, electric, gas and water utilities, data center developers and owners, EV charging infrastructure developers and owners, and distributed
energy developers. The Company is headquartered in Fort Lee, New Jersey and operates from three ( 3 ) additional locations in the United
States for manufacturing, service and maintenance, engineering, sales and administration.
Nasdaq
Listing
On
September 24, 2013, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 1,265,000 shares of its common stock at a gross sales price
of $ 7.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $ 7,900 , after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions
and other offering expenses. In connection with the public offering, the Company’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital
Market under the symbol PPSI.
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 has two reportable
segments, which are also its operating segments: Electrical Infrastructure Equipment (“Electrical Infrastructure”) and Critical
Power Solutions (“Critical Power”). Financial information about the Company’s segments is presented in Note 13 - Business
Segment, Geographic and Customer Information.
Basis
of Presentation
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States (“U.S. GAAP”). 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 consolidated financial statements have been included.
These
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pioneer and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Liquidity
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as of the year ended
December 31, 2023, the Company had $ 3,582 of cash on hand and working capital of $ 9,421 . The cash on hand was generated primarily from
the sale of common stock under the ATM Program (as defined below), payment of all unpaid principal and interest from the two subordinated
promissory notes the Company received in connection with the sale of the transformer business units in August 2019 (the “Equity
Transaction”) for an aggregate principal amount of $ 7,500 (the “Seller Notes”) during the year ended December 31, 2022,
and cash flows from operating activities. On October 20, 2020, the Company entered into an At the Market Sale Agreement with H.C. Wainwright
& Co., LLC (“Wainwright”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell our shares of common stock from time to time
through Wainwright, acting as sales agent or principal (the “ATM Program”). Since October 20, 2020, and through December
31, 2023, the Company sold an aggregate of 916,059 shares of common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $ 8,904 , before
any sales agent fees and expenses payable by the Company under the ATM Program. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company
sold an aggregate of 27,559 shares of common stock for an aggregate consideration of approximately $ 184 , before any sales agent fees
and expenses payable by the Company under the ATM Program.
The
Company has historically met its cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and bank borrowings, the completion
of the Equity Transaction, proceeds from the sale of the CleanSpark common stock and warrants to purchase CleanSpark common stock, sale
of common stock under the ATM Program and collecting all unpaid principal and interest from the Seller Notes. 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 from the date our consolidated financial statements are issued.
35
On
December 13, 2021, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to a prospectus which forms a part of its registration statement on Form
S-3 (File No. 333-249569) (the “Prior Shelf Registration Statement”), that was declared effective by the SEC on October 27,
2020 (the “Prior ATM Prospectus”), in connection with the offer and sale of up to an aggregate offering amount of $ 8,600
of common stock that may be issued and sold under the ATM Program. Prior to the expiration of the Prior Shelf Registration Statement
at the end of its three-year term, the Company sold an aggregate of 27,559 shares of common stock for an aggregate consideration of approximately
$ 184 , before any sales agent fees and expenses payable by us, under the Prior ATM Prospectus. On August 30, 2023, the Company filed a
new registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-274266) to replace the Prior Shelf Registration Statement, including a base prospectus
which covers the offering, issuance and sale of up to $ 150,000 of common stock, preferred stock, warrants and/or units; and a sales agreement
prospectus covering the offering, issuance and sale of up to a maximum aggregate offering price of $ 75,000 of common stock that may be
issued and sold under the ATM Program (the “New ATM Prospectus”). The new registration statement was declared effective by
the SEC on September 8, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, $ 75,000 of common stock remained available for issuance under the New ATM Prospectus.
As
of the filing date of this Form 10-K, we became subject to the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, which limits
the amount of funds we can raise through primary public offerings of securities in any twelve-calendar month period using a
registration statement on Form S-3 to one-third of the aggregate market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates. Therefore,
we will be limited in the amount of proceeds we are able to raise by selling our common stock using Form S-3, including under the
New ATM Prospectus, until such time as our public float held by non-affiliates exceeds $ 75,000 .
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. 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. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company was able to operate substantially
at capacity.
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. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In connection with the preparation of our consolidated
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company identified errors related to revenue and cost recognition
in its previously issued (i) consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in its Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Annual Period”) and (ii) unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 through September 30, 2023 included in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods
ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022, March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023 (the “Interim Periods”,
which, together with the Annual Period, the “Affected Periods”).
During 2022 and 2023, the Company recognized revenues
associated with customer contracts with performance obligations satisfied over time (“Over Time Contracts”) using labor hours
as the measure of progress. The Company’s underlying estimates of total labor hours required to complete Over Time Contracts were
materially different from the actual labor hours required, which was determined to represent an error since the information underlying
the estimate was known or knowable as of the balance sheet date and, as a result, the percentage of completion used to recognize revenue
in the Affected Periods is materially different from the percentage of completion using actual labor hours incurred. As a result, the
Company has restated revenues during the Affected Periods to adjust the percentage of completion based upon the actual labor hours incurred
to complete each Over Time Contract (the “Revenues Adjustment”).
Additionally, the Company has determined that costs
from Over Time Contracts should be recognized as incurred and, as a result, the Company has recorded an adjustment to its consolidated
financial statements during the Affected Periods (together with the Revenues Adjustment, the “Restatement Adjustments”),
as the Company was previously incorrectly deferring costs incurred to a future period.
The Company evaluated the materiality of these misstatements
both qualitatively and quantitatively in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, Materiality , and
SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements , and determined the effect
of correcting these misstatements was material to the Affected Periods. As a result of the material misstatements, the Company has restated
its consolidated financial statements for the Affected Periods in accordance with ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (the
“Restated Consolidated Financial Statements”).
A reconciliation from the amounts
previously reported for the Affected Periods to the restated amounts in the Restated Consolidated Financial Statements is provided
for the impacted financial statement line items below for: (i) the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022; (ii) the
consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022; (iii) the consolidated statement of changes in
stockholders’ equity for the year ended December 31, 2022; and (iv) the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year
ended December 31, 2022. The amounts labeled “Restatement Adjustments” represent the effects of the Restatement
Adjustments.

Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details of the effect of the Restatement Adjustments on the Interim Periods.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements
in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The consolidated financial statements include estimates based on currently available
information and management’s judgment as to the outcome of future conditions and circumstances. Significant estimates in these consolidated
financial statements include, but are not limited to, measurement of revenue for contracts accounted for over time, accounts receivable
reserves, inventory valuation, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and the valuation allowance
related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Changes in the status of certain facts or circumstances could result in material changes
to the estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and actual results could differ from the estimates and
assumptions.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue
is recognized when (1) a contract with a customer exists, (2) performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on
the products or services that will be transferred to the customer, (3) the transaction price is determined based on the consideration
to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring products or services to the customer, (4) the transaction price is
allocated to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) the Company satisfies its performance obligation. The Company satisfies
its performance obligations and, therefore, recognizes revenue, either over time or at a point in time, which is when the customer has
obtained control of the good or service. Revenue from the sale of the Company’s electric power systems under its Electrical Infrastructure
segment is recognized either over time or at a point in time and substantially all of the Company’s revenue from the sale of power
generation equipment under its Critical Power segment is recognized at a point in time. Certain sales of highly customized electrical
equipment under the Company’s Electrical Infrastructure segment are recognized over time when such equipment has no alternative
use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. The Company’s measure of progress for
such contracts is evaluated under the input method based on direct labor hours incurred relative to the estimated total direct labor
hours required in order to complete the project. Any anticipated losses on contracts are fully recognized in
the period in which the losses become evident. Service revenues include maintenance contracts that are recognized over time based on
the contract term and repair services that are recognized as services are delivered.
Contract Estimates
Revenue from over time contracts is recognized proportionally
over the term of the contract using 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, which the Company considers the best available indicator of the pattern
and timing in which contract performance obligations are fulfilled and control transfers to the customer. This percentage is multiplied
by the contracted dollar amount of the project to determine the amount of revenue to recognize in an accounting period.
There are situations where the number of hours to
complete projects may exceed the original estimate as a result of an increase in project scope or unforeseen events. The related impact
on income is recognized using the cumulative catch-up method, which the Company recognizes in the current period.
Recognition of revenue on a contract requires estimates of the total labor
hours at completion and the measurement of progress towards completion. Due to the long-term nature of many of the Company’s contracts,
developing the estimated total labor hours at completion often requires judgment. Factors that must be considered in estimating the total
labor hours to be completed include the nature and complexity of the work to be performed and the risk and impact of delayed performance.
At the outset of each contract, the Company gauges its complexity and perceived
risks and establish an estimated total number of labor hours at completion in line with these expectations. The Company follows a standard
contract review process in which the Company reviews the progress and performance on its ongoing contracts at least quarterly.
38
Cost
of Goods Sold
Cost
of goods sold primarily includes charges for materials, direct labor and related benefits, freight (inbound and outbound), direct supplies
and tools, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, internal transfer costs, warehousing costs and utilities related to production
facilities and, where appropriate, an allocation of overhead. Cost of goods sold also includes indirect labor and infrastructure cost
related to the provision of field services.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Fair
value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date and is measured using inputs in one of the following three categories:
Level
1 measurements are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability
to access. Valuation of these items does not entail a significant amount of judgment.
Level
2 measurements are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar
assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or market data other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities.
Level
3 measurements are based on unobservable data that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value
of the assets or liabilities.
The
Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying
values of these financial instruments approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively short period of time between their
origination and their expected realization or payment.
Concentrations
The Company manages its accounts receivable credit
risk by performing credit evaluations and monitoring amounts due from the Company’s customers. The Company had certain customers
whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue, or whose accounts receivable balances individually
represented 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable, as follows:
At December 31, 2023, one customer represented approximately
23 %
of the Company’s accounts receivable. At December 31, 2022, three customers represented approximately 52 %,
15 %
and 12 %
of the Company’s accounts receivable.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, two
customers represented approximately 42 %
and 20 %
of the Company’s revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2022, two customers represented approximately 43 %
and 10 % of the Company’s revenue.
As of December 31, 2023, one of the Company’s
suppliers represented 18 % of the Company’s accounts payable. As of December 31, 2022, three of the Company’s suppliers represented
38 % of the Company’s accounts payable.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments
purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents in the consolidated financial statements. At December
31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any cash equivalents. The Company has cash on deposits in several financial institutions which
may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the
Company had balances of $ 3,332 and $ 10,046 in excess of the FDIC insured limits, respectively. The Company reduces exposure to credit
risk by maintaining cash deposits with major financial institutions. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts and periodically
evaluates the creditworthiness of its financial institutions. While the Company does not anticipate any losses, liquidity issues, or capital
resource constraints arising from the bank failures during 2023, it cannot predict at this time to what extent it or its collaborators,
employees, suppliers, and/or vendors could be negatively impacted by such bank failures and other macroeconomic and geopolitical events.
The Company reduces its credit risk by placing its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions.
Accounts Receivable
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13,
“Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” using a modified
retrospective approach. The standard amends several aspects of the measurement of credit losses related to certain financial instruments,
including the replacement of the existing incurred credit loss model and other models with the current expected credit losses model. The
cumulative effect of adoption did not result in an adjustment to the allowance for credit loss, and accordingly, the Company’s accumulated
deficit as of January 1, 2023.
The Company accounts for trade receivables at original invoice amount less
an estimate made for expected credit losses. The Company’s allowance for expected credit losses on accounts receivable reflects
management’s estimate of credit losses over the remaining expected life of such assets, measured primarily using historical experience,
as well as current conditions and forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. There was $ 97 and $ 788 of reserves
for expected credit losses as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets
Depreciation and amortization for property and equipment
is computed and included in cost of goods sold and in selling and administrative expense, as appropriate. Long-lived assets, consisting
primarily of property and equipment, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment are depreciated using the
straight-line method, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets (buildings - 25 years, machinery and equipment - 5 to 15 years,
computer hardware and software - 3 to 5 years, furniture & fixtures 5 to 7 years, leasehold improvements – term of lease). Depreciation
commences in the year the assets are ready for their intended use.
The Company reviews all long-lived assets such as
property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of the assets that are held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated future
cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. Impairment is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the
asset(s) exceed the fair value. There were no triggering events that would indicate impairment of long-lived assets at December 31, 2023
and 2022.
39
Leases
The Company leases offices, facilities and equipment
under operating and financing leases. The Company determines whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at contract inception. An
arrangement contains a lease if the Company has the right to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the economic benefits of
an identified asset. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of lease
payments over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the balance sheet and are recorded
as short-term lease expense. The discount rate used to calculate present value is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based
on the lease term and the economic environment of the applicable country or region.
Certain leases contain renewal options or options
to terminate prior to lease expiration, which are included in the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities when it is
reasonably certain they will be exercised. The Company has elected to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component
for its offices and manufacturing facilities. Some lease arrangements include payments that are adjusted periodically based on actual
charges incurred for common area maintenance, utilities, taxes and insurance, or changes in an index or rate referenced in the lease.
The fixed portion of these payments is included in the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at lease commencement,
while the variable portion is recorded as variable lease expense. The Company’s leases typically do not contain material residual
value guarantees or restrictive covenants.
Deferred Financing Costs
Certain legal, accounting and other third-party fees
that are directly associated with equity financings are capitalized as deferred financing costs and included as a non-current asset on
the balance sheet until such financings are consummated. After consummation of the equity financing, these costs will be recorded in the
stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets as a reduction of additional paid-in capital generated as a result
of the offering, to the extent there are sufficient proceeds. Should the equity financing no longer be considered probable of being consummated,
all deferred financing costs would be charged to operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset
and liability method, based on the income tax laws and rates in the countries in which operations are conducted and income is earned.
For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company operated solely in the United States. This approach requires the recognition
of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts
and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Developing the provision for income taxes requires significant judgment and expertise in
federal, international and state income tax laws, regulations and strategies, including the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities
and, if necessary, any valuation allowances that may be required for deferred tax assets. The Company records a valuation allowance to
reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company believes that the deferred asset,
net recorded as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 is realizable through future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. If the
Company was to subsequently determine that it would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded
amount, an adjustment to deferred tax assets would increase net income for the period in which such determination was made. The Company
will continue to assess the adequacy of the valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. The Company’s tax filings are subject to audit
by various taxing authorities.
The objective of accounting for income taxes is to
recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences
or events that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The Company recognizes the
tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by
the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position (see “Unrecognized Tax Benefits” below).
Income tax related interest and penalties are grouped
with interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
The Company accounts for unrecognized tax benefits
in accordance with FASB ASC “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax
position is required to meet before being recognized in the consolidated financial statements and provides guidance on de-recognition,
measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. ASC 740 contains
a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition
by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon
ultimate settlement with a taxing authority, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step
is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Additionally, ASC 740 requires the Company to accrue
interest and related penalties, if applicable, on all tax positions for which reserves have been established consistent with jurisdictional
tax laws. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as interest expense.
40
Share-Based Payments
The Company measures the cost of services received
in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. The fair value of the award is measured on the grant
date. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award,
usually the vesting period, using the straight-line attribution approach. Upon the exercise of an award, the Company issues new shares
of common stock out of its authorized shares.
The Company computes the fair value of stock options
granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Award forfeitures are accounted for at the time of occurrence. The expected term
used for options is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified”
method under ASC 718 to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” option grants. The Company does not currently
have a sufficient trading history to fully support its historical volatility calculations. Accordingly, the Company is utilizing an expected
volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatility on a blended basis of its own stock as well as of comparable entities
over a period of time equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued. The risk-free interest rate was determined from
the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being
valued.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable
value using a weighted average cost method and includes the cost of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. The Company uses estimates
in determining the level of reserves required to state inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company estimates are
based on market activity levels, production requirements, the physical condition of products and technological innovation. Changes in
any of these factors may result in adjustments to the carrying value of inventory.
Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing
the income or loss for the period by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income
(loss) per share is computed by dividing the income or loss for the period by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding,
plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the common share equivalents had been issued (computed
using the treasury stock or if converted method), if dilutive.
Research and Development
Research and development include expenses incurred
by the Company’s Critical Power segment related to developing the Company’s mobile e-Boost EV charging solutions. Research
and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.

5. REVENUES
Nature of the Company’s products and services
The Company’s principal products and services
include electric power systems and equipment, distributed energy resources, power generation equipment and mobile EV charging solutions.
Products
The Company’s Electrical Infrastructure business
provides electric power systems and equipment and distributed energy resources that help 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.
The Company’s principal source of revenue is derived from sales of products and fees for services. The Company
measures revenue based upon the consideration specified in the customer arrangement, and revenue is recognized when the performance obligations
in the customer arrangement are satisfied. Changes in deferred revenue are generally as a result of the Company’s normal operating
cycle and the effect of cumulative catch-up adjustments arising from a change in the measure of progress or a contract modification identified
at each reporting period.
A performance obligation
is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to the customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated
to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation.
Customers typically receive the benefit of the Company’s products when the risk of loss or control for the product transfers to
the customer and for services as they are performed. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised
products or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.
To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps:
1) Identify the contract with a customer
A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company
enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the products or services to be transferred
and identifies the payment terms related to these products or services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company
determines that collection of substantially all consideration for products or services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s
intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention
to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer,
published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.
2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Performance obligations promised in a contract are
identified based on the products or services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby
the customer can benefit from the product or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from
third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the products or services is
separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised products or services,
the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised products or services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context
of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised products or services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.
3) Determine the transaction price
The transaction price is determined based on the consideration
to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring products or services to the customer. The customer payments are generally
due in 30 days.
4) Allocate the transaction price to performance
obligations in the contract
If the contract contains a single performance obligation,
the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations
require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis. The
Company determines standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone
selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available
information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.
47
5) Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies
a performance obligation
The Company satisfies performance obligations either
over time or at a point in time. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised
product or service to a customer.
The Company satisfies its performance obligations
and, therefore, recognizes revenue, either over time or at a point in time, which is when the customer has obtained control of the good
or service. Revenue from the sale of the Company’s electric power systems under its Electrical Infrastructure segment is recognized
either over time ($ 23,758 and $ 8,049 (as restated) of revenue in 2023 and 2022, respectively) or at a point in time ($ 6,619 and $ 8,221
of revenue in 2023 and 2022, respectively) and substantially all of the Company’s revenue from the sale of power generation equipment
under its Critical Power segment is recognized at a point in time. Certain sales of highly customized electrical equipment under the Company’s
Electrical Infrastructure segment are recognized over time when such equipment has no alternative use and the Company has an enforceable
right to payment for performance completed to date. The Company’s measure of progress for such contracts is evaluated under the
input method based on direct labor hours incurred relative to the estimated total direct labor hours required in order to complete the
project. When adjustments in estimated total labor hours at completion are determined, the related impact on income is recognized using
the cumulative catch-up method, which the Company recognizes in the current period.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the
Company recognized $ 24,101
of equipment revenue over time. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized approximately $ 8,049
of equipment revenue over time. Additionally, the Company recognized $ 9,614
and $ 10,440
of revenue at a point in time from the sale of its products during the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
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
$ 7,778 and $ 7,389 of service revenue during the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 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. Progress payments are paid by the customer over the duration of the contract. Amounts billed and due from customers,
as well as the value of unbilled account receivables, are generally classified within current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
The customer payments are generally due in 30 days.
Under certain contracts, the Company may be entitled to invoice the customer and receive payments in advance of performing
the related contract work. In those instances, the Company recognizes a liability for advance billings in excess of revenue recognized,
which is referred to as deferred revenue. Payments received from customers in advance of revenue recognition are not considered a significant
financing component because they are utilized to pay for contract costs within a one-year period or are requested by the Company to ensure
the customers meet their payment obligations.
The change in deferred revenue as of December
31, 2023 was driven primarily by ordinary course contract activity and as a result of cumulative catch-up adjustments related to
changes in measure of progress for over-time contracts. As of January 1, 2022, the Company had a deferred revenue balance of $ 2,423 .
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $ 9,046
and $ 2,158
(as restated) respectively, related to amounts that were included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively, resulting primarily from the progress made on the various active contracts during the respective reporting
periods.
Unbilled receivables include amounts for work performed for which the Company has an unconditional right to receive
payment and that are not subject to the completion of any other specific task, other than the billing itself.
The Company manages its accounts receivable credit
risk by performing credit evaluations and monitoring amounts due from the Company’s customers. The Company had certain customers
whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue, or whose accounts receivable balances individually
represented 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable.
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 years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were insignificant.

Litigation and Claims
From time to time, the Company is a defendant or plaintiff
in various legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments,
litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of
the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
On June 15, 2023, Terrence and Kay Mimick (the “Plaintiffs”)
filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court, District of Nebraska naming the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pioneer Critical Power,
Inc., and an individual acting in his capacity as an employee of the Company, collectively as defendants. Plaintiffs filed an amended
complaint on July 7, 2023, alleging negligent driving, negligent entrustment, and negligent hiring, training and supervision, as a result
of a car accident that occurred on September 9, 2019, and seeking special damages related to the injuries allegedly sustained by Plaintiffs.
The amended complaint also named Titan Energy Systems, Inc. as a defendant instead of Pioneer Critical Power, Inc. On July 27, 2023, the
defendants filed an Answer to Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint. On October 6, 2023, a mediation was held, but the parties did not reach
a settlement. In June 2024 another mediation was held and the parties reached a settlement for all of the Plaintiffs’ claims.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company recognized a liability of $ 5,000 related to this matter, which was included within accounts payable
and accrued liabilities, with a corresponding insurance receivable of $ 5,000 related to the loss recovery, which was deemed to be probable
and included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
The Company is not aware of any material proceedings
in which any of its directors, officers or affiliates or any registered or beneficial shareholder of more than 5 % of the Company’s
common stock is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.
10. NOTES RECEIVABLE, NET
In connection with the Equity Transaction, amongst
other consideration, the Company received the Seller Notes for a total aggregate principal amount of $ 7,500 , subject to certain adjustments.
The Seller Notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.0 % per annum, with a final payment of all unpaid principal and interest becoming fully
due and payable at December 31, 2022. The Company determined the fair value of the Seller Notes based on market conditions and prevailing
interest rates. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company and Pioneer Transformers L.P. (the “US Buyer”) and Pioneer
Acquireco ULC (the “Canadian Buyer,” and together with the US Buyer, the “Buyer”), pursuant to that certain Stock
Purchase Agreement dated June 28, 2019, completed the net working capital adjustment, which resulted in the Company paying the Buyer $ 1,800
in cash and reducing the principal amount of the $ 5,000 Seller Note to $ 3,200 . During the second quarter of 2020, the Company recognized
an additional reduction to the principal amount of the Seller Note of $ 194 for a valid claim paid by the Buyer on behalf of the Company.
On December 15, 2022, the Company received in excess of $ 6,200 as a final payment of all unpaid principal and interest paying the Seller
Notes in full.
11. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Stock
The Company had 9,930,022 and 9,644,545 shares of
common stock, $ 0.001 par value per share, outstanding as of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Preferred Stock
The board of directors is authorized, subject to any
limitations prescribed by law, without further vote or action by the shareholders, to issue from time to time up to 5,000,000 shares of
preferred stock, $ 0.001 par value, in one or more series. Each such series of preferred stock shall have such number of shares, designations,
preferences, voting powers, qualifications, and special or relative rights or privileges as shall be determined by the board of directors,
which may include, among others, dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation preferences, conversion rights and preemptive rights.

12. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock-Based Compensation
On May 11, 2011, the board of directors of the Company
adopted the Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) which was subsequently approved
by stockholders of the Company on May 31, 2011. The 2011 Plan replaced and superseded the 2009 Plan. The Company’s outside directors
and employees, including the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and other named executive officers,
and certain contractors were all eligible to participate in the 2011 Plan. The 2011 Plan allowed for the granting of incentive stock options,
nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalent
rights, and other awards, which were granted singly, in combination, or in tandem, and upon such terms as determined by the Board or a
committee of the Board that was designated to administer the Plan. Subject to certain adjustments, the maximum number of shares of the
Company’s common stock that were available to be delivered pursuant to awards under the 2011 Plan was 700,000 shares. As of December
31, 2023, there were no shares available for future grants under the Company’s 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The Company’s
2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan expired during the second quarter of 2021.
On October 13, 2021, the Company’s board of
directors adopted the 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), subject to stockholder approval, which was obtained
on November 11, 2021. The 2021 Plan supplemented the 2011 Plan, which expired on May 11, 2021, and which replaced and superseded the 2009
Plan, as noted above. The Company’s outside directors and its employees, including the principal executive officer, principal financial
officer and other named executive officers, and certain contractors are all eligible to participate in the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan allows
for the granting of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock
units, performance awards, dividend equivalent rights, and other awards, which may be granted singly, in combination, or in tandem, and
upon such terms as are determined by the Board or a committee of the board that is designated to administer the 2021 Plan. Subject to
certain adjustments, the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards under the
2021 Plan is 900,000 shares plus any increase by any Prior Plan Awards (as defined in the 2021 Plan) eligible for reuse, of which one
hundred percent ( 100 %) may be delivered pursuant to incentive stock options. As of December 31, 2023, there were 347,500 shares available
for future grants under the Company’s 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan was initially administered by the Company’s board of directors,
but it has been administered by the compensation committee following the creation of such committee in the first quarter of 2022.
The fair value of the stock options granted

The Company’s provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax
rate on loss before income taxes of 0.0 % in 2023, as compared to ( 0.1 )% in 2022. The consistency in the Company’s effective
tax rate during 2023 primarily reflects the increase in state taxes, the increase in the valuation allowance and increase in net operating
losses.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company has $ 4,233 in
foreign tax credits (“FTCs”) carryforward. These FTCs begin to expire in December 2024.
The assessment of the amount of value assigned to
the Company’s deferred tax assets under the applicable accounting rules is judgmental. The Company is required to consider all available
positive and negative evidence in evaluating the likelihood that the Company will be able to realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets
in the future. Such evidence includes scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies
and the results of recent operations. Since this evaluation requires consideration of events that may occur some years into the future,
there is an element of judgment involved. Realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient
taxable income in future periods. The Company does not believe that it is more likely than not that future taxable income will be sufficient
to allow the Company to recover any of the value assigned to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company has provided
for a valuation allowance of the Company’s FTCs as the Company does not anticipate generating sufficient foreign source income.
In addition, the Company has provided for a full valuation allowance on the domestic deferred tax assets as the combined effect of future
domestic source income and the future reversals of future tax assets and liabilities will likely be insufficient to realize the full benefits
of the assets.
The Company has federal net operating loss (“NOLs”)
carryforwards of approximately $ 18,228 as of December 31, 2023. The Federal NOLs were generated in the taxable years ending after December
31, 2017. As a result, the NOLs are eligible to be carried forward indefinitely, but generally may only offset up to 80 % of federal taxable
income earned in a taxable year.
The Company’s net operating losses may be subject
to annual Section 382 limitations due to ownership changes that could impact the future realization. As of December 31, 2023, the Company
has not experienced an ownership change within the meaning of Sec. 382(g) and will continue to monitor its cumulative ownership changes
for purposes of Sec. 382. The Company has $ 12,467
of deferred tax assets on which it is taking a full valuation allowance. The total valuation allowance recorded is $ 12,378 ,
representing an increase of $ 1,013
from December 31, 2022. The Company has approximately $ 4,233
of FTCs for which it has provided a full valuation allowance and $ 39
of research and development credits which expire in 2032.
The Company has interest expense subject to a tax
deduction limitation under IRC 163(j). The new calculation arising from the 2017 tax reform requires an adjusted taxable income to be
calculated by, among other things, adding back to taxable income any depreciation, amortization, or depletion deductions for the taxable
years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2022, as well as removing any GILTI inclusions. When calculating the adjusted
taxable income for this purpose, The Company did not have sufficient taxable income in previous years to deduct interest expense exceeding
the limitation, therefore creating a carryover of business interest expense to future years. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the
company was able to utilize their business interest income to support interest expense deductions, resulting in an interest expense deduction
of $231 from prior year carryforwards. The amount available for carryover to future periods of IRC 163(j) as of December 31, 2023 is $ 2,897 .
This carryover is available indefinitely.
Management believes that an adequate provision has
been made for any adjustments that may result from tax examinations. However, the outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty.
If any issues addressed in the Company’s tax audits are resolved in a manner not consistent with management’s expectations,
the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income taxes in the period such resolution occurs.
The tax years subject to examination by major tax
jurisdiction include the years 2020 and forward by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and most state jurisdictions.

14. BUSINESS SEGMENT, GEOGRAPHIC AND CUSTOMER INFORMATION
The Company follows ASC 280 - Segment Reporting
in determining its reportable segments. The Company considered the way its management team, most notably its chief operating
decision maker, makes operating decisions and assesses performance and considered which components of the Company’s enterprise
have discrete financial information available. In determining operating and reportable segments in accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 280, Segment Reporting, the Company concluded that it has two
reportable segments, which are also its operating segments: Electrical Infrastructure and Critical Power. The Critical Power
reportable segment is the Company’s Titan Energy Systems, Inc. business unit. The Electrical Infrastructure reportable segment
is the Company’s Pioneer Custom Electrical Products Corp. business unit.
The Electrical Infrastructure segment is involved
in the design, manufacture and sale of electrical distribution and control equipment used primarily by large industrial and commercial
operations to manage their electrical power distribution needs. The Critical Power segment is involved in the sale and service of power
generation equipment and provides mobile high-capacity charging solutions, as well as aftermarket field-services, in order to help customers
secure mobile fast-charging where fixed charging infrastructure does not exist.

15. BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic and diluted loss per common share is
calculated based on the weighted average number of vested shares outstanding during the period. The Company’s employee and director
equity awards, as well as incremental shares issuable upon exercise of warrants, are not considered in the calculations if the effect
would be anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share (in thousands, except
