Description
of Business Segment
In
October 2024, we sold our Pioneer Custom Electrical Products Corp. (“PCEP”) business unit to a buyer (the “PCEP Sale”)
as a result of a strategic change to the operations of our business.
Following
the PCEP Sale, we currently have one reportable segment - Critical Power Solutions (“Critical Power”).
●
Our Critical Power
business provides customers with our suite of mobile EV charging solutions, power generation equipment and all forms of services,
including but not limited to, preventative maintenance, repairs, fuel polishing, and remote monitoring. These products and services
are marketed by our operations headquartered in Minnesota, currently doing business under our Pioneer eMobility
(e-Boost) and Pioneer Critical Power (Titan) brand names.
Our
Critical Power business designs, manufactures and sells mobile EV charging solutions under our e-Boost suite of products, in addition
to distributing new power generation equipment, refurbishing and reselling used power generation equipment, and performing service and
maintenance on our customers’ existing equipment. Many of these systems are used to maintain reliable, primary, peak shaving or
emergency standby power at facilities where it is required or where the potential consequences of a power outage make it necessary, such
as at major national retailers, hospitals, data centers, communications facilities, factories, military sites, office complexes and other
critical operations.
In
December of 2025, the Company launched two new product platforms:
1.
PRYMUS - a
new, mobile on-site power system concentrating on customers with requirements of 1-10 megawatts of mobile power to supplement their
current energy profile,
2.

contracts to all owners of power generation and related equipment, whether or not the equipment was originally sold by us. Our service
agreements have terms ranging from one to five years in duration, providing the Company with a recurring revenue stream.
Business
Strategy
We
believe we have established a stable platform from which to develop and grow our business lines, revenue, profitability and shareholder
value. We are focused on internal growth through operating efficiencies, new product development, customer focus and broadening and deepening
our market penetration.
We
intend to build our revenue and net income through internal growth initiatives. Accomplishing these financial goals will be dependent
on a number of factors, including our ability to execute the following strategies and actions:
●
Establishing a scalable organizational
infrastructure to support our expected growth;
●
Investing in our capabilities to provide progressively
more advanced equipment and service solutions;
●
Continuously applying our manufacturing and service
resources to their highest and best uses;
●
Combining and streamlining our business unit supply
chains and administrative functions; and
●
Improving business processes to deliver consistency,
quality and value to our customers.
Within
our Critical Power business, we are actively marketing our preventive maintenance services to new national accounts including: major
national retailers, telecommunications companies, data centers, banks, hospitals and health care facilities, educational institutions
and property management companies. Since November 2021, we have been aggressively marketing our e-Boost mobile EV charging products to
electric bus and truck manufacturers, fleet management companies, municipalities and EV infrastructure providers.
Our
Industry
The
market for Electrical Infrastructure equipment and Critical Power solutions is very fragmented due to the range of equipment types, electrical
and mechanical properties, technological standards and service parameters required by different categories of end users for their specific
applications. Many orders are custom-engineered and tend to be time-sensitive since other critical work is frequently being coordinated
around the customer’s electrical equipment installation. The vast majority of North American demand for the types of solutions
we provide is satisfied by thousands of producers and service companies in the United States.
We
believe that several of the key industry trends supporting future growth in our industry are as follows:
●
Aging
and Overburdened North American Power Grid — The aging and overburdened North American power grid is expected to require
significant capital expenditures to upgrade the existing infrastructure over the next several years to maintain adequate levels of
reliability and efficiency. Significant capital investment will be required to relieve congestion, meet growing demand, achieve targets
for efficiency, emissions and use of renewable sources, and to replace components of the U.S. power grid operating at, near or past
their planned service lives.
●
Increasing Long-Term
Demand for Electricity and Reliable Power — The Department of Energy’s Energy Information Administration, or
EIA, forecasts that total electricity use in the United States will increase by approximately 28% from 2011 to 2040. This increase
is driven by anticipated population growth, economic expansion, increasing dependence on computing power throughout the economy and
the increased use of electrical devices in the home. In order to meet growing demand for electricity in North America, substantial
investment in increased electrical grid capacity and efficiency will be required, as well as the addition of specialized equipment
to help ensure the reliability and quality of electricity for critical applications. In response to these challenges, there is an
increasing trend among commercial and industrial companies to invest in on-site power sources, both for standby purposes in the event
of a catastrophic power outage, or to reduce the amount of electricity they draw from the utility grid during peak periods.
3
●
Autonomous
Vehicle Infrastructure and Rapid EV Deployment — While the broader mobile EV charging market has experienced a period
of stabilization, the autonomous vehicle (“AV”) sector is entering a phase of rapid acceleration. AV charging depots
require hyper-efficient deployment timelines to match the scaling of autonomous fleets. Our e-Boost solution is uniquely positioned
to bridge the gap between fleet readiness and traditional utility connectivity, which can often take 12 to 24 months for high-capacity
grid upgrades. The U.S. electric vehicle charging station market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 29.1% through 2030, with the fastest
growth occurring in high-power DC fast charging segments (>250 kW) necessary for commercial and autonomous operations.
●
Edge AI, Data Centers,
and Sustainable Microgrids — The explosion of Generative Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) and Edge Computing
has created an unprecedented demand for localized, “behind-the-meter” power. Global electricity demand for data centers
is projected to double by 2030, with AI-optimized servers expected to account for 44% of total data center power consumption by that
time. To meet this need, our PRYMUS mobile microgrid provides 1 MW to 10 MW blocks of onsite power with a 6-month deployment lead
time, significantly faster than traditional infrastructure. This aligns with a broader industry shift toward decentralized energy;
the global microgrid market is forecast to reach $24.44 billion by 2026, driven specifically by a 20.1% CAGR in the 5–10 MW
segment often utilized for industrial and data center optimization.
●
Residential Resilience
and Premium Power Solutions — Consumer demand for energy independence is intensifying as the North American power grid
faces increasing reliability challenges. This has created a high-value niche for “prime power” residential products.
Our PowerCore system addresses this by offering 24/7/365 whole-home resiliency with integrated Level 2 and Level 3 charging. This
caters to the growing segment of homeowners who view their residences as long-term financial assets and are increasingly seeking
bidirectional (V2H) charging capabilities. With Level 2 infrastructure expected to see an incremental growth of over 5 million units
by 2026, providing an all-in-one resiliency and high-speed charging solution captures a critical convergence of the residential and
transportation energy markets.
Customers
A
substantial portion of the products and services we offer are sold directly to customers by our marketing and sales personnel operating
from our office locations in the United States. Our direct sales force and authorized representatives market our products and services
to end users and third parties, such as original equipment manufacturers and their dealers, state and local governments, fleet management
companies, school bus operators and various intermediary selling groups.
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, 99% of our sales were to U.S. customers and 1% were to Canadian customers, compared to 87% of our sales
were to U.S. customers and 13% were to Canadian customers for the year ended December 31, 2024. This was largely driven by companies
involved in distributed generation, regulated and non-regulated utilities, and the industrial and wholesale sectors. During the years
ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, we sold our electrical equipment and services to over 879 individual customers, and our 20 largest
customers represented approximately 71% and 74% of our consolidated revenue, respectively.
Approximately
24% and 13% of our sales during the year ended December 31, 2025, were made to Eneridge, Inc. and SparkCharge, respectively. Approximately
22% and 13% of our sales during the year ended December 31, 2024, were made to INF Associates, LLC and British Columbia Hydro and Power
Authority, respectively. Most of our sales to customers were made pursuant to specific contract terms and conditions for each project.
Revenue
Backlog
Revenue
backlog, which consists of purchase orders and contracts from customers that we believe to be firm, reflects the amount of revenue that
we expect to realize in the future upon the satisfaction of customer orders for our products or services that are not yet complete or
for which work has not yet begun. Our revenue backlog as of December 31, 2025, was approximately $12,617, as compared to $19,762 as of
December 31, 2024. The decrease in our revenue backlog was primarily attributable to the fulfillment of orders for our mobile EV charging
solutions that were included in backlog as of December 31, 2024 and recognized as revenue during the year ended December 31, 2025, without
comparable new orders from our mobile EV charging solutions entering backlog as of December 31, 2025.
Competition
We
experience intense competition from generator manufacturers and from distributors and servicers of such equipment. The number and size
of our competitors varies considerably by product line and service category, with many of our competitors tending to be small, highly
specialized or focused on a certain geographic market area or customer. A representative list of our direct competitors includes Xos
Inc., Energy Vault, Inc., HM Cragg Co., and Interstate Power Systems, Inc.
4
Raw
Materials and Suppliers
The
principal materials purchased by us are certain electrical and engine components such as generators, transfer switches, electric vehicle
chargers and related parts from a variety of suppliers. These components are available from and supplied by numerous sources at competitive
prices. Unanticipated increases in component prices or disruptions in supply could increase production costs and adversely affect our
profitability. Our largest suppliers during the year ended December 31, 2025, included Taylor Power Systems, Inc., Gillette Generators
Inc. and Winco, Inc.
Research
and Development
Because
the industries in which we compete are characterized by rapid technological advances, our ability to compete successfully depends heavily
upon our ability to ensure a continual and timely flow of competitive products, services and technologies to the marketplace. We continue
to develop new technologies to enhance existing products and services, and to expand the range of our offerings through research and
development (“R&D”), licensing of intellectual property and acquisition of third-party businesses and technology. During
the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, we incurred $875 and $1,050, respectively, of R&D costs related to our mobile EV charging
solutions, e-Boost.
Employees
As
of December 31, 2025, we had 58 full-time employees.
Environmental
We
are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other areas, air emissions, discharges into waterways and
the generation, handling, storing, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste materials. These laws and regulations are constantly
changing and it is impossible to predict with accuracy the effect they may have on us in the future. Like many other industrial enterprises,
our manufacturing operations entail the risk of noncompliance, which may result in fines, penalties and remediation costs, and there
can be no assurance that such costs will be insignificant. To our knowledge, we are in substantial compliance with all federal, state,
provincial and local environmental protection provisions, and believe that the future compliance cost should not have a material adverse
effect on our capital expenditures, net income or competitive position. However, legal and regulatory requirements in these areas have
been increasing and there can be no assurance that significant costs and liabilities will not be incurred in the future due to regulatory
noncompliance.
Corporate
History
We
were originally formed in the State of Nevada in 2008. On November 30, 2009, we merged with and into Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, for the sole purpose of changing our state of incorporation from Nevada to Delaware and changing our name to “Pioneer

Risks
Relating to Our Business and Industry
We
have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which could, if not remediated, adversely affect
our ability to report our financial condition and results of operations in a timely and accurate manner, which may adversely affect investor
confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock.
Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that public companies evaluate and report on their systems of internal control over
financial reporting. As disclosed in Part II, Item 9A, Controls and Procedures of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has determined that we have two material weaknesses in our
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, a material weakness related to the lack of sufficient accounting
personnel with the requisite skills, knowledge and expertise which negatively impacted the Company’s ability to maintain
appropriate segregation of duties and effective controls, as well as a material weakness around information technology general controls related to user access and privileged access within systems supporting the Company’s accounting and financial
reporting processes which allowed certain individuals to have elevated access to systems inconsistent with such individuals’ business
needs. As a result of these material weaknesses,
the Company’s management, under the supervision of the Audit Committee and with participation of the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not
effective as of December 31, 2025.
Although
we are working to remedy the material weaknesses and ineffectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
and disclosure controls and procedures, there can be no assurance as to when the remediation plan will be fully developed and
implemented or the outcome of such remediation efforts, or that in the future, additional material weaknesses will not exist,
reoccur or otherwise be discovered, a risk that is significantly increased in light of the complexity of our business. Until our
remediation plan is fully implemented, our management will continue to devote significant time, attention and financial resources to
these efforts. If we do not complete our remediation in a timely fashion, or at all, or if our remediation plan is inadequate, there
will continue to be an increased risk that our future consolidated financial statements could contain errors that will be
undetected. If we continue to have these existing material weaknesses, other material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in the
future, it could create a perception that our financial results do not fairly state our financial condition or results of
operations. See “ Part II. Item 9A – Controls and Procedures. ” These material weaknesses could adversely affect
our business, reputation, revenues, results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. This could also adversely affect our
ability to timely file periodic reports under the Exchange Act, and limit our ability to access the capital markets through equity
or debt issuances. Additional impacts could include a decline in our stock price, suspension of trading or delisting of our common
stock by the Nasdaq Capital Market. Any of the foregoing could have an adverse effect on the value of our stock. For more
information relating to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, the material weaknesses that existed as of
December 31, 2025, and the remediation activities undertaken by us, see Part II, Item 9A, Controls and Procedures of this Annual
Report on Form 10-K. See also “— Failure to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting
may result in us not being able to accurately report our financial results, which could result in a loss of investor confidence and
adversely affect the market price of our common stock. ”
7
Failure
to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting may result in us not being able to accurately report our
financial results, which could result in a loss of investor confidence and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We
are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, which is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes
in accordance with U.S. GAAP (as defined below). Because we are continuing to implement remedial actions to strengthen our financial
control and management systems, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. A failure to prevent or detect errors or misstatements
may result in a decline in the price of our common stock and harm our ability to raise capital in the future.
If
our management is unable to certify the effectiveness of our internal controls or if material weaknesses or significant deficiencies
in our internal controls are identified, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny and a loss of public confidence, which could
harm our business and cause a decline in the price of our common stock. As disclosed under “Item 9A. Controls and
Procedures” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, in connection with preparing our financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2025, management concluded that two material weaknesses existed in our internal control over financial reporting
related to the lack of sufficient accounting personnel with the requisite skills, knowledge and expertise which negatively impacted
the Company’s ability to maintain appropriate segregation of duties and effective controls, as well as a material weakness in
our information technology general controls related to user access and privileged access within systems supporting the Company’s accounting and financial
reporting processes which allowed certain individuals to have elevated access to systems inconsistent with such individuals’ business
needs. In addition, due to the same material weaknesses, we determined that our disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025. See “— We have identified two material weaknesses in our
internal control over financial reporting which could, if not remediated, adversely affect our ability to report our financial
condition and results of operations in a timely and accurate manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in our company
and, as a result, the value of our common stock.”
In
addition, if we do not maintain adequate financial and management personnel, processes and controls, we may not be able to accurately
report our financial performance on a timely basis, which could cause a decline in the price of our common stock and harm our ability
to raise capital. Failure to accurately report our financial performance on a timely basis could also jeopardize our listing on the Nasdaq
Capital Market. Delisting of our common stock on any exchange would reduce the liquidity of the market for our common stock, which would
reduce the price of, and increase the volatility of, our common stock.
We
do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error or fraud.
A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control
system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,
and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation
of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within an organization will be detected. The inherent limitations
include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes.
Controls can also be circumvented by individual acts of certain persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override
of the controls. Due to the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and
may not be detected in a timely manner or at all. See also “—General Risk Factors— There are inherent limitations
in all control systems, and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected .” If we cannot provide reliable
financial reports or prevent fraud, our reputation and operating results could be materially adversely affected, which could also cause
investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which in turn could result in a reduction in the price of our common
stock.
In
addition, acquisitions can pose challenges in implementing the required processes, procedures and controls in the new operations. Companies
that are acquired by us may not have disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting that are as thorough
or effective as those required by the securities laws that currently apply to us.
Our
operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter, which makes our operating results difficult to predict and can cause
our operating results in any particular period to be less than comparable quarters and expectations from time to time.
Our
quarterly results may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control
and have the potential to materially and adversely affect our results. Factors that affect our operating results include the following:
●
the size, timing
and terms of sales and orders, especially large customer orders;
●
variations caused by customers
delaying, deferring or canceling purchase orders or making smaller purchases than expected;
●
the timing and volume of
work under new agreements;
●
the spending patterns of
customers;
●
customer orders received;
●
a change in the mix of
our products having different margins;
8
●
a change in
the mix of our customers, contracts and business;
●
increases in design and
manufacturing costs;
●
the length of our sales
cycles;
●
the rates at which customers
renew their contracts with us;
●
changes in pricing by us
or our competitors, or the need to provide discounts to win business;
●
a change in the demand
or production of our products caused by severe weather conditions;
●
our ability to control
costs, including operating expenses;
●
losses experienced in our
operations not otherwise covered by insurance;
●
the ability and willingness
of customers to pay amounts owed to us;
●
the timing of significant
investments in the growth of our business, as the revenue and profit we hope to generate from those expenses may lag behind the timing
of expenditures;
●
costs related to the acquisition
and integration of companies or assets;
●
general economic trends,
including changes in equipment spending or national or geopolitical events such as economic crises, wars or incidents of terrorism;
and
●
future accounting pronouncements
and changes in accounting policies.
Accordingly,
our operating results in any particular quarter may not be indicative of the results that you can expect for any other quarter or for
an entire year.
Our
industry is highly competitive.
The
electrical equipment manufacturing industry is highly competitive and barriers to entry to manufacture similar systems to the ones the
Company sells is easily imitated. On the service side of the Company’s business, we already compete with many other companies offering
similar services. Many of these companies have a larger geographic footprint than Pioneer and substantially greater financial resources.
A
significant portion of our revenues have historically been and continue to be concentrated and derived from a few customers. Material
or significant loss of business from customers could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
We
historically have depended, and expect to continue to depend on a small number of customers for a large portion of our business each
quarter, due to the scope of certain projects. Any change in the level of orders from customers could have a significant impact on our
results of operations, and a loss of business from customers could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating
results. Approximately 24% and 13% of our sales during the year ended December 31, 2025, were made to Eneridge, Inc. and SparkCharge,
respectively. As of December 31, 2025, one customer represented 100% of the Company’s lease receivable balance. The majority of
our sales to these customers and other customers in the past were made pursuant to contract terms and conditions for each project and
it is expected that future sales will similarly be made pursuant to the relevant contract terms and conditions for future projects. See
“Item 1. Business - Customers”.
Our
Critical Power business has historically generated operating losses and negative cash flows, which may result in the usage of our cash.
We
currently have one business unit (Critical Power), which has been unable to earn positive income and generate positive cash flow in its
recent history. With $14,959 of cash on hand as of December 31, 2025, any such losses will negatively impact our cash balance.
Our
operations have been curtailed following the PCEP Sale, and we have limited sources of revenue following such sale, which may negatively
impact the value and liquidity of our common stock.
The
PCEP Sale has reduced the size of our business operations, and our sources of revenue are limited to our Critical Power segment following
the closing of the PCEP Sale. Although our board of directors may use a portion of the proceeds from the PCEP Sale to support the business
operations remaining following the PCEP Sale, there can be no assurance that we will be successful at carrying out the operations of
our remaining businesses, or that we will be successful at generating revenue. A failure by us to secure additional sources of revenue
following the closing of the PCEP Sale could negatively impact the value and liquidity of our common stock.
9
The
departure or loss of key personnel could disrupt our business.
We
depend heavily on the continued efforts of Nathan J. Mazurek, our principal executive officer, and on other senior officers who are responsible
for the day-to-day management of our operating subsidiary. In addition, we rely on our current electrical and mechanical design engineers,
many of whom are important to our operations and would be difficult to replace. We cannot be certain that any of these individuals will
continue in their respective capacities for any particular period of time. The departure or loss of key personnel, or the inability to
hire and retain qualified employees, could negatively impact our ability to manage our business.
Fluctuations
in the price and supply of materials used to manufacture our products may reduce our profits.
The
principal materials purchased by us are certain electrical and engine components such as generators, transfer switches, electric
vehicle chargers and related parts from a variety of suppliers. These components are available from, and supplied by, numerous
sources at competitive prices. Unanticipated increases in component prices or disruptions in supply could increase production costs
and adversely affect our profitability. We cannot provide any assurances that we will not experience difficulties sourcing our
materials in the future.
We
may not be able to fully realize the revenue value reported in our backlog.
We
routinely have a backlog of work to be completed on contracts representing a significant portion of our annual sales. As of December
31, 2025, our order backlog was $12,617. Orders included in our backlog are represented by customer purchase orders and service contracts
that we believe to be firm. Backlog consists of customer orders that either (1) have not yet been started or (2) are in progress and
are not yet completed. In the latter case, the revenue value reported in backlog is the remaining value associated with work that has
not yet been billed and recognized as revenue. From time to time, customer orders are canceled that appeared to have a high certainty
of going forward at the time they were recorded as new business taken. In the event of a customer order cancellation, we may be reimbursed
for certain costs but typically have no contractual right to the total revenue reflected in our backlog. In addition to us being unable
to recover certain direct costs, canceled customer orders may also result in additional unrecoverable costs due to the resulting underutilization
of our assets.
We
are subject to pricing pressure from our larger customers.
We
face significant pricing pressures in our business segment from our larger customers. Because of their purchasing size, our larger customers
can influence market participants to compete on price terms. Such customers also use their buying power to negotiate lower prices. If
we are not able to offset pricing reductions resulting from these pressures by improved operating efficiencies and reduced expenditures,
those price reductions may have an adverse impact on our financial results.
Deterioration
in the credit quality of several major customers could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
S ignificant
assets included in our working capital are accounts receivable and lease receivable from customers. If customers responsible for a
significant amount of accounts receivable and lease receivable become insolvent or are otherwise unable to pay for products and
services, or become unwilling or unable to make payments in a timely manner, our operating results and financial condition could be
adversely affected. A significant deterioration in the economy could have an adverse effect on these accounts receivable and lease receivable, which
could result in longer payment cycles, increased collection costs and defaults in excess of management’s expectations.
Deterioration in the credit quality of our major customers could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and
financial condition.
We
rely on third parties for key elements of our business whose operations are outside our control.
We
rely on arrangements with third-party shippers and carriers such as independent shipping companies for timely delivery of our products
to our customers. As a result, we may be subject to carrier disruptions and increased costs due to factors that are beyond our control,
including labor strikes, inclement weather, natural disasters and rapidly increasing fuel costs. If the services of any of these third
parties become unsatisfactory, we may experience delays in meeting our customers’ product demands and we may not be able to find
a suitable replacement on a timely basis or on commercially reasonable terms. Any failure to deliver products to our customers in a timely
and accurate manner may damage our reputation and could cause us to lose customers.
We
also utilize third-party distributors to sell, install and service certain of our products. While we are selective in whom we choose
to represent us, it is difficult for us to ensure that our distributors consistently act in accordance with the standards we set for
them. To the extent any of our end-customers have negative experiences with any of our distributors or manufacturer’s representatives;
it could reflect poorly on us and damage our reputation, thereby negatively impacting our financial results.
10
Supply
chain and shipping disruptions may result in shipping delays, a significant increase in shipping costs, and could increase product costs
and result in lost sales and reputational damage, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial
condition.
Our
third-party manufacturers and suppliers have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, supply chain disruption and shipping
disruptions, including disruptions or delays in loading container cargo in ports of origin or off-loading cargo at ports of destination,
congestion in port terminal facilities, labor supply and shipping container shortages, inadequate equipment and persons to load, dock
and offload container vessels and for other reasons. These disruptions may impact our ability to receive materials and products from
our manufacturers and suppliers, to distribute our products to our customers in a cost-effective and timely manner and to meet customer
demand, all of which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that
further unforeseen events impacting the supply chain will not have a material adverse effect on us in the future. Additionally, the impacts
that supply chain disruptions have on our third-party manufacturers and suppliers are not within our control. It is not currently possible
to predict how long it will take for these supply chain disruptions to cease or ease. Prolonged supply chain disruptions that may impact
us or our manufacturers and suppliers could interrupt product manufacturing, increase raw material and product lead times, increase raw
material and product costs, impact our ability to meet customer demand and result in lost sales and reputational damage, all of which
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our
business may face cybersecurity risk generally associated with our information technology systems which could materially affect our business,
and our results of operations could be materially affected if our information technology systems (or third-party systems we rely on)
are interrupted, damaged by unforeseen events, or fail for any extended period of time.
We
rely on information systems (“IS”) in our business to obtain, rapidly process, analyze, manage and store data to among other
things:
●
receive, process
and ship orders on a timely basis; and
●
manage the accurate billing
and collections from our customers.
IS
risks have generally increased in recent years, and a cyberattack that bypasses our IS security systems causing an IS security breach
may lead to a material disruption of our business operations and/or the loss of business information resulting in a material effect on
our business.
In
addition, we develop products and provide services to our customers that are technology-based, and a cyberattack that bypasses the IS
security systems of our products or services causing a security breach and/or perceived security vulnerabilities in our products or services
could also cause significant reputational harm, and actual or perceived vulnerabilities may lead to claims against us by our customers.
Perceived or actual security vulnerabilities in our products or services, or the perceived or actual failure by us or our customers who
use our products to comply with applicable legal requirements, may not only cause us significant reputational harm, but may also lead
to claims against us by our customers and involve fines and penalties, costs for remediation, and settlement expenses.
Our
IS utilize certain third-party service organizations that manage a portion of our information systems, and our business may be materially
affected if these third-party service organizations are subject to an IS security breach. Risks associated with these and other IS security
breaches may include, among other things:
●
future
results could be materially affected due to theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation or release of confidential data or intellectual
property;
●
operational
or business delays resulting from the disruption of information systems and subsequent clean-up and mitigation activities;
●
we
may incur claims, fines and penalties, and costs for remediation, or substantial defense and settlement expenses; and
●
negative
publicity resulting in reputation or brand damage with our customers, partners or industry peers.
We
have various insurance policies, covering risks in amounts that we consider adequate. There can be no assurance that the insurance coverage
we maintain is sufficient or will be available in adequate amounts or at a reasonable cost. Successful claims for misappropriation or
release of confidential or personal data brought against us in excess of available insurance or fines or other penalties assessed or
any claim that results in significant adverse publicity against us could have a material adverse effect on our business and our reputation.
Our
business requires skilled labor, and we may be unable to attract and retain qualified employees.
Our
ability to maintain our productivity and profitability will be limited by our ability to employ, train and retain skilled personnel necessary
to meet our requirements. We may experience shortages of qualified personnel. We cannot be certain that we will be able to maintain an
adequate skilled labor force necessary to operate efficiently and to support our growth strategy or that our labor expenses will not
increase as a result of a shortage in the supply of skilled personnel. Labor shortages, increased labor costs or loss of our most skilled
workers could impair our ability to deliver on time to our customers (thereby creating a risk that we lose our customers to competition)
and would inhibit our ability to maintain our business or grow our revenues, and may adversely impact our profitability.
11
An
overall tightening and increasingly competitive labor market has been observed in the United States. A sustained labor shortage or increased
turnover rates within our employee base could lead to increased costs, such as increased wage rates to attract and retain employees,
and could negatively affect our ability to efficiently operate our manufacturing facilities and overall business. If we are unable to
hire and retain employees capable of performing at a high-level, or if mitigation measures we may take to respond to a decrease in labor
availability, such as overtime and third-party outsourcing, have unintended negative effects, our business could be adversely affected.
An overall labor shortage, lack of skilled labor, increased turnover or labor inflation could have a material adverse impact on our operations,
results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.
Demand for Edge AI infrastructure, data centers,
and distributed energy solutions may not develop as expected or increase demand for our solutions.
The projections regarding the anticipated expansion
of generative AI, Edge Computing and data center infrastructure and the global electricity demand from data centers are subject to significant
uncertainty and may not materialize within the expected timeframes, or at all. Factors such as slower adoption of AI or Edge Computing
technologies, improvements in data center energy efficiency, changes in regulatory or utility frameworks, or broader economic conditions
could reduce or delay infrastructure investment and related power demand. Our PRYMUS mobile microgrid platform is designed to provide
scalable onsite power solutions in 1 MW to 10 MW blocks with relatively rapid deployment timelines. However, our ability to generate revenue
from this platform depends in part on continued growth in demand for decentralized energy systems serving data centers and similar industrial
applications. If demand for such solutions develops more slowly than anticipated, if customers adopt alternative energy or infrastructure
solutions, or if centralized grid capacity expands more quickly than expected demand for our products and services could be materially
reduced. In addition, industry projections regarding the growth of the global microgrid market, including estimates of market size and
compound annual growth rates for certain capacity segments, are based on third-party data and assumptions that may prove inaccurate. If
the microgrid market does not grow as forecast, or if competing technologies or market developments reduce the need for distributed power
generation, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Risks
Relating to Our Organization
Delaware
law and our corporate charter and bylaws contain anti-takeover provisions that could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders
may consider favorable.
Our
board of directors is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the voting powers, preferences and
other rights and limitations of the preferred stock. Accordingly, we may issue shares of preferred stock with a preference over our common
stock with respect to dividends or distributions on liquidation or dissolution, or that may otherwise adversely affect the voting or
other rights of the holders of common stock. Issuances of preferred stock, depending upon the rights, preferences and designations of
the preferred stock, may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of control, even if that change of control might
benefit our stockholders. In addition, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 203 generally prohibits
a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for
a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless (i) prior to the
date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which
resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; (ii) the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock
of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding
(a) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (b) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants
do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer;
or (iii) on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board and authorized at an annual
or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting
stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.
Section
203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law could delay or prohibit mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts with respect
to us and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us even though such a transaction may offer our stockholders the opportunity
to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price.
General
Risk Factors
Our
stock price may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses for investors.
The
market price of our common stock is highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to various factors, many of which are beyond
our control, including the following:
●
technological
innovations or new products and services by us or our competitors;
●
additions or departures
of key personnel, including Nathan J. Mazurek, our chairman, president and chief executive officer;
●
sales of our common stock,
including management shares;
●
limited availability of
freely-tradable “unrestricted” shares of our common stock to satisfy purchase orders and demand;
●
our ability to execute
our business plan;
●
operating results that
fall below expectations;
●
loss of any strategic relationship;
●
industry developments;
●
economic and other external
factors;
●
our ability to manage the
costs of maintaining adequate internal financial controls and procedures in connection with the acquisition of additional businesses;
●
period-to-period fluctuations
in our financial results; and
●
announcements of acquisitions.
12
In
addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the
operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also significantly affect the market price of our common
stock.
Our
risk management activities may leave us exposed to unidentified or unanticipated risks.
Although
we maintain insurance policies for our business, these policies contain deductibles and limits of coverage. We estimate our liabilities
for known claims and unpaid claims and expenses based on information available as well as projections for claims incurred but not reported.
However, insurance liabilities are difficult to estimate due to various factors and we may be unable to effectively anticipate or measure
potential risks to our company. If we suffer unexpected or uncovered losses, any of our insurance policies or programs are terminated
for any reason or are not effective in mitigating our risks, we may incur losses that are not covered by our insurance policies or that
exceed our accruals or that exceed our coverage limits and could adversely impact our consolidated results of operations, cash flows
and financial position.
Regulatory,
environmental, monetary and other governmental policies could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.
We
are subject to international, federal, provincial, state and local laws and regulations governing environmental matters, including emissions
to air, discharge to waters and the generation and handling of waste. We are also subject to laws relating to occupational health and
safety. The operation of manufacturing plants involves a high level of susceptibility in these areas, and there is no assurance that
we will not incur material environmental or occupational health and safety liabilities in the future. Moreover, expectations of remediation
expenses could be affected by, and potentially significant expenditures could be required to comply with, environmental regulations and
health and safety laws that may be adopted or imposed in the future. Future remediation technology advances could adversely impact expectations
of remediation expenses. We can give no assurance that any lawsuits or claims brought in the future will not have an adverse effect on
our financial condition, liquidity or operating results. Types of potential litigation cases include product liability, contract, employment-related,
labor relations, personal injury or property damage, intellectual property, stockholder claims and claims arising from any injury or
damage to persons, property or the environment from hazardous substances used, generated or disposed of in the conduct of our business.
Adverse outcomes in some or all of these claims may result in significant monetary damages that could adversely affect our ability to
conduct our business.
Global,
market and economic conditions may negatively impact our business, financial condition and stock price.
Concerns
over inflation, geopolitical issues, the U.S. financial markets, capital and exchange controls, unstable global credit markets and financial
conditions, have led to periods of significant economic instability, declines in consumer confidence and discretionary spending, diminished
expectations for the global economy and expectations of slower global economic growth going forward, and increased unemployment rates.
Our general business strategy may be adversely affected by any such economic downturns, volatile business environments and continued
unstable or unpredictable economic and market conditions. If these conditions continue to deteriorate or do not improve, it may make
any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult to complete, more costly, and more dilutive. In addition, there is a risk that
one or more of our current or future service providers, manufacturers, suppliers, our third-party payors, and other partners could be
negatively affected by difficult economic times, which could adversely affect our ability to attain our operating goals on schedule and
on budget or meet our business and financial objectives.
In
addition, we face several risks associated with international business and are subject to global events beyond our control, including
war, public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, trade disputes, economic sanctions, trade wars and their collateral impacts
and other international events. Any of these changes could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition
or results of operations. There may be changes to our business if there is instability, disruption or destruction in a significant geographic
region, regardless of cause, including war, terrorism, riot, civil insurrection or social unrest; and natural or man-made disasters,
including famine, flood, fire, earthquake, storm or disease. In addition, the consequences of the ongoing conflict between Russia and
Ukraine, and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, including related sanctions and countermeasures, and the effects of rising global
inflation, are difficult to predict, and could adversely impact geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions, the global economy, and contribute
to increased market volatility, which may in turn adversely affect our business and operations.
Additionally,
since the start of the Trump Administration in 2025, U.S. policy changes have been implemented at a rapid pace and additional changes
are likely. Changes to U.S. policy implemented by the U.S. Congress, the Trump administration or any new administration have impacted
and may in the future impact, among other things, the U.S. and global economy, international trade relations, unemployment, immigration,
healthcare, taxation, the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation and other areas. Although we cannot predict the impact, if any, of these
changes to our business, they could adversely affect our business. Until we know what policy changes are made, whether those policy changes
are challenged and subsequently upheld by the court system and how those changes impact our business and the business of our competitors
over the long term, we will not know if, overall, we will benefit from them or be negatively affected by them.
13
We
face risks associated with litigation and claims, which could impact our financial results and condition.
Our
business, results of operations and financial condition could be affected by significant litigation or claims adverse to us. Types of
potential litigation cases include product liability, contract, employment-related, labor relations, personal injury or property damage,
intellectual property, trade secret or unfair competition claims, stockholder claims and claims arising from any injury or damage to
persons, property or the environment from hazardous substances used, generated or disposed of in the conduct of our business. We have
been involved in the past and may in the future be involved in legal proceedings.
Offers
or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
Sales
of a significant number of shares of our common stock in the public market could harm the market price of our common stock and make it
more difficult for us to raise funds through future offerings of common stock. Our stockholders and the holders of our options and warrants
may sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market. The availability of these shares of our common stock for resale
in the public market has the potential to cause the supply of our common stock to exceed investor demand, thereby decreasing the price
of our common stock.
In
addition, the fact that our stockholders, option holders and warrant holders can sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the
public market, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, could make it more difficult for us to raise additional financing
through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.
We
are subject to financial reporting and other requirements for which our accounting, internal audit and other management systems and resources
may not be adequately prepared.
We
are subject to reporting and other obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),
including the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Section 404 requires us to conduct an annual management assessment
of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. These reporting and other obligations place significant demands
on our management, administrative, operational, internal audit and accounting resources. Any failure to maintain effective internal controls
could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and stock price.
In
addition, our internal controls will also include those of any company or business that we may acquire in the future. Acquired companies
or businesses are likely to have different standards, controls, contracts, procedures and policies, making it more difficult to implement
and harmonize company-wide financial, accounting, information and other systems. As a result, our internal controls may become more complex
and we may require significantly more resources to ensure they remain effective. Failure to implement required new or improved controls,
or difficulties encountered in their implementation, either in our existing business or in businesses that we may acquire, could harm
our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations.
There
are inherent limitations in all control systems, and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
The
ongoing internal control provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require us to identify material weaknesses in internal
control over financial reporting, which is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our management, including our
chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our internal controls and disclosure controls will prevent
all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance
that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource
constraints and the benefit of controls must be relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems,
no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, in our company have
been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can
occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Further, controls can be circumvented by individual acts of some persons, by collusion of
two or more persons, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated
goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may be inadequate because of changes in conditions, such as growth
of the company or increased transaction volume, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because
of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
In
addition, discovery and disclosure of a material weakness, including the material weaknesses identified in our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2025, by definition, could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. Such
an occurrence could discourage certain customers or suppliers from doing business with us and adversely affect how our stock trades.
This could in turn negatively affect our ability to access equity markets for capital.
14
Any
acquisitions that we have completed, or may complete in the future, may not perform as planned and could disrupt our business and harm
our financial condition and operations.
In
an effort to effectively compete in the specialty electrical equipment manufacturing and service businesses, where increasing competition
and industry consolidation prevail, we have sought to acquire complementary businesses in the past and will continue to do so in the
future. In the event of any future acquisitions, we could:
●
issue additional
securities that would dilute our current stockholders’ percentage ownership or provide the purchasers of the additional securities
with certain preferences over those of common stockholders, such as dividend or liquidation preferences;
●
incur debt and assume liabilities;
and
●
incur large and immediate
write-offs of intangible assets, accounts receivable or other assets.
These
events could result in significant expenses and decreased revenue, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
In addition, integrating acquired businesses and completing any future acquisitions involve numerous operational and financial risks.
These risks include difficulty in assimilating acquired operations, diversion of management’s attention, and the potential loss
of key employees or customers of acquired operations. Furthermore, companies acquired by us may not generate financial results consistent
with our management’s plans at the time of acquisition.
The
success of our business depends on achieving our strategic objectives, including dispositions.
We
continue to evaluate the potential disposition of assets and businesses that may no longer help us meet our objectives. When we decide
to sell assets or a business, we may encounter difficulty in finding buyers or executing alternative exit strategies on acceptable terms
in a timely manner, which could delay the accomplishment of our strategic objectives. Alternatively, we may dispose of a business at
a price or on terms that are less than we had anticipated, or with the exclusion of assets that must be divested separately. After reaching
an agreement with a buyer for the disposition of a business, the transaction remains subject to the satisfaction of pre-closing conditions,
which may prevent us from completing the transaction. Dispositions may also involve continued financial involvement in the divested business,
such as through continuing equity ownership, transition service agreements, guarantees, indemnities or other current or contingent financial
obligations. Under these arrangements, performance by the divested businesses or other conditions outside our control could affect our
future financial results.
If
we do not conduct an adequate due diligence investigation of a target business that we acquire, we may be required subsequently to take
write downs or write-offs, restructuring, and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial
condition, results of operations and our stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
As
part of our acquisition strategy, we will need to conduct a due diligence investigation of one or more target businesses. Intensive due
diligence is time consuming and expensive due to the operations, accounting, finance and legal professionals who must be involved in
the due diligence process. We may have limited time to conduct such due diligence. Even if we conduct extensive due diligence on a target
business that we acquire, we cannot assure you that this diligence will uncover all material issues relating to a particular target business,
or that factors outside of the target business and outside of our control will not later arise. If our diligence fails to identify issues
specific to a target business or the environment in which the target business operates, we may be forced to write-down or write-off assets,
restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in us reporting losses. Even though these charges
may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges of this nature could contribute
to negative market perceptions about us or our common stock. In addition, charges of this nature may cause us to violate net worth or
other covenants that we may be subject to as a result of assuming pre-existing debt held by a target business or by virtue of our obtaining
post-combination debt financing.
We
may be unable to generate internal growth.
Our
ability to generate internal growth will be affected by, among other factors, our ability to attract new customers, increases or decreases
in the number or size of orders received from existing customers, hiring and retaining skilled employees and increasing volume utilizing
our existing facilities. Many of the factors affecting our ability to generate internal growth may be beyond our control, and we cannot
be certain that our strategies will be implemented with positive results or that we will be able to generate cash flow sufficient to
fund our operations and to support internal growth. If we do not achieve internal growth, our results of operations will suffer and we
will likely not be able to expand our operations or grow our business.
15
In
the event that we fail to satisfy any of the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock may be delisted, which
could affect our market price and liquidity.
Our
common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. For continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we will be required to comply
with the continued listing requirements, including the minimum market capitalization standard, the minimum stockholders’ equity
requirement, the corporate governance requirements and the minimum closing bid price requirement, among other requirements. In the event
that we fail to satisfy any of the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock may be delisted. If our securities
are delisted from trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and we are not able to list our securities on another exchange or to have them
quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market, our securities could be quoted on the OTC Markets. As a result, we could face significant adverse
consequences including:
●
a limited availability
of market quotations for our securities;
●
a determination that our
common stock is a “penny stock,” which would require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent
rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;
●
a limited amount of news
and analyst coverage; and
●
a decreased ability to
issue additional securities (including pursuant to short-form registration statements on Form S-3 or obtain additional financing
in the future).

1C. CYBERSECURITY
We
operate in the industrial sector, which is subject to various cybersecurity risks that could adversely affect our business, financial
condition, and results of operations, including intellectual property theft; fraud; extortion; harm to employees or customers; violation
of privacy laws and other litigation and legal risk; and reputational risk. We recognize the critical importance of developing, implementing,
and maintaining robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard our information systems and protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability
of our data. We currently have security measures in place to protect our employees, customers, and corporate data and prevent data loss
and other security breaches, including a cybersecurity risk assessment program. Both management and our board of directors are actively
involved in the continuous assessment of risks from cybersecurity threats, including prevention, mitigation, detection, and remediation
of cybersecurity incidents.
Our
current cybersecurity risk assessment program consists of not only real-time monitoring of things from patching policies to mandatory
multi-factor authentication, but also policies in place for encryption of data both in transmission and at rest. The program outlines
governance, policies and procedures, and technology we use to oversee and identify risks from cybersecurity threats and is informed by
previous cybersecurity incidents we have observed in our company, in our industry, and as reported by our cybersecurity partner CCS Business
Solutions, Inc.
Management,
along with CCS Business Solutions, Inc., are responsible for day-to-day assessment and management of risks from cybersecurity threats,
including the prevention, mitigation, detection, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents. The individuals currently serving in these
roles are the Chief Financial Officer as the representative of our management, and the CEO of CCS Business Solutions, Inc. The CEO of
CCS Business Solutions, Inc. has over 20 years of experience in the technology industry, with most of that experience being specifically
in cybersecurity. He also has formal education with a degree in Computer Science with a concentration in Artificial Intelligence, mainly
involving self-learning algorithms.
The
board of directors is responsible for oversight of risks from cybersecurity threats in conjunction with our senior management team and
CCS Business Solutions, Inc. This includes receiving reports and updates from our outside partner CCS Business Solutions, Inc. with respect
to the management of risks from cybersecurity threats. Such reports cover our information technology security program, including its
current status, capabilities, objectives and plans, as well as the evolving cybersecurity threat landscape. Additionally, the board of
directors considers risks from cybersecurity threats as part of its oversight of our business strategy and risk management.
We
routinely undertake activities to prevent, detect, and minimize the effects of cybersecurity incidents, including assessments of our
data access in the form of user audits, real-time monitoring of risk on a per system level as it pertains to AV completeness, system
vulnerabilities, and third-party patching. In addition to this, we actively monitor and practice disaster recovery and business continuity
plans in the event that any risk is able to circumvent the controls we have in place.
16
We
leverage the advice of third-party consultants and auditors to help us assess and identify risks from cybersecurity threats, including
the threat of a cybersecurity incident, and manage our risk assessment program. Among other things, these providers perform an audit
of the datacenter from the top down annually, to ensure that controls are effective, still implemented to the fullest, and are meeting
industry standards.
We
also have policies and procedures to oversee and identify the risks from cybersecurity threats associated with our use of third-party
service providers. Our primary technology service provider undergoes annual evaluation through our Sarbanes-Oxley audit procedures, which
provides insight into its internal operations and includes review of its SSAE-18 report.
To
date, no
cybersecurity incident (or aggregation of incidents) or cybersecurity
threat has materially affected our results of operations or financial condition. However, an actual or perceived breach of our security
could damage our reputation, or subject us to third-party lawsuits, regulatory fines or other actions or liabilities, any of which could
adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition. It is for this reason we are constantly reevaluating our cybersecurity
stance, posturing against industry standards to try and effectively mitigate our risk.

7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
You
should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated
financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical financial information,
the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could
differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences
include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, particularly in the sections entitled “Risk Factors”
and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
We
design, manufacture, integrate, service and sell distributed energy resources, on site power generation equipment and mobile EV charging
solutions. Our products and services are sold to a broad range of customers in the utility, industrial and commercial markets. Our customers
include, but are not limited to, Federal and State government entities, package delivery businesses, school bus fleet operators, EV charging
infrastructure developers and owners, and distributed energy developers. We are headquartered in Fort Lee, New Jersey and operate from
two (2) additional locations in the United States for manufacturing, service and maintenance, engineering, and sales and administration.
We
intend to grow our business through continued internal investments in product development and expansion of our manufacturing, engineering,
sales and marketing personnel.
Following
the sale of our PCEP business unit in October 2024, we currently have one reportable segment: Critical Power. Our Critical Power business
provides customers with our suite of mobile e-Boost© EV charging solutions, power generation equipment and all forms of preventative
maintenance, repairs, remote monitoring and other service on our customers’ equipment. These products and services are marketed
by our operations headquartered in Minnesota, currently doing business under the Titan, Pioneer eMobility and Pioneer Critical Power
brand names.
U.S.
dollars are reported in thousands, except for share and per share amounts (unless otherwise noted).

Critical
Accounting Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures are in conformity
with U.S. GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the periods
presented. We believe that the estimates and judgments upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the
time that we make these estimates and judgments. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual
results, our financial results will be affected.
We
consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were
highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from
period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact
on our financial condition or results of operations.
Lessor
Accounting — Sales-Type Leases
We
enter into lease and rental arrangements with customers for our mobile EV charging equipment and related power generation equipment.
At lease commencement, we evaluate each arrangement under ASC 842, Leases, to determine the appropriate lease classification. Leases
that meet any one of the five classification criteria under ASC 842-10-25-2 are classified as sales-type leases, for which we derecognize
the underlying asset, recognize a net investment in the lease (comprised of the lease receivable and the unguaranteed residual asset),
and recognize any selling profit or loss at commencement. Interest income on the net investment is recognized over the lease term using
the effective interest method.
This
accounting requires judgment in several areas. Lease classification depends on management’s estimates of the economic
life and fair value of the underlying equipment, which we determine based on historical experience, expected technological obsolescence,
and anticipated usage. Changes in these estimates can shift a classification, significantly altering the timing of revenue recognition.
We also estimate unguaranteed residual values based on expected equipment fair value at lease expiration, considering anticipated market
demand, remaining useful life, and technological changes in the mobile EV charging market. Because this market is still developing, limited
historical resale data is available and residual value estimates are subject to greater uncertainty than for more established equipment
categories. In addition, the rate implicit in the lease, which incorporates the credit standing of the lessee, fair value of the asset,
and expected residual value, affects the measurement of the net investment and the allocation of income over the lease term.
Changes
in the above estimates could materially affect revenue, cost of revenue, and the carrying value of our net investment in sales-type leases.
A decrease in fair values of the underlying asset would reduce the net investment and selling profit recognized at commencement. A reclassification
from sales-type to operating would shift revenue from the commencement period to recognition ratably over the lease term.
In
addition, there are other items within our consolidated financial statements that require estimation but are not deemed critical, as
defined above. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Our
significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in our consolidated
financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Backlog .
Revenue backlog, which consists of purchase orders and contracts from customers that we believe to be firm, reflects the amount of revenue
that we expect to realize in the future upon the satisfaction of customer orders for our products or services that are not yet complete
or for which work has not yet begun. Backlog may vary significantly from reporting period to reporting period due to the timing of customer
commitments.
Our
revenue backlog as of December 31, 2025, from our Critical Power business was $12,617, a decrease of $7,145, or 36.2%, when compared
to $19,762 as of December 31, 2024. The following table represents the progression of our backlog as of December 31, 2025, and 2024 (in

with a customer in our Pioneer eMobility business which generated lower margins on the initial units due to higher costs incurred during
the early stages of production as we refined our manufacturing processes and optimized build efficiency.

decreased by approximately $566, or 5.8%, to $9,146, as compared to $9,712 during the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense and professional fees, partially offset by an increase
in information technology costs and insurance expense. As a percentage of
our consolidated revenue, selling, general and administrative expense decreased to 33.1% during the year ended December 31, 2025, as
compared to 42.4% during the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to the increase in total revenue during the year ended December
31, 2025.
R&D
Expenses. Research and development expenses in our Critical Power segment consists of costs incurred in performing research and development
activities, including salaries, benefits, overhead costs, contract services and other related costs. During the year ended December 31,
2025, we incurred $875 of R&D expenses related to developing our mobile e-Boost EV charging solutions as compared to $1,050 during
the year ended December 31, 2024.

as compared to $5,248 during the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in cost of goods sold resulting in a lower
gross profit.
Non-Operating
Income (Expense) from Continuing Operations
Interest
Income . For the year ended December 31, 2025, we had interest income of approximately $739, as compared to interest income of approximately
$431 during the year ended December 31, 2024. We generated most of our interest income from our cash on hand during the year ended December
31, 2025.
Other
(Expense) Income . Other (expense) income in the consolidated statements of operations reports certain gains and losses associated
with activities not directly related to our core operations.
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, other non-operating expense was $518, as compared to other non-operating income of $50 during the year
ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to the loss on our equity method investment.
Provision
for Income Taxes . Our provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate on loss before taxes of (1.2)% for the year ended December

Our
net loss from continuing operations per basic and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $0.58, compared to a net loss
from continuing operations per basic and diluted share of $0.31 for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Taxes
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax was
$449 during the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $35,204 during the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily
attributable to the completion of the PCEP Sale on October 29, 2024. Income from discontinued operations during 2024 included a $35,044
gain recognized on the sale of PCEP as well as the operating results of PCEP through the closing date. Income from discontinued operations
during 2025 was primarily attributable to a net working capital adjustment with the buyer of the PCEP sale, net of tax.

LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General .
As of December 31, 2025, we had $14,959 of cash on hand generated primarily from the PCEP Sale. On October 29, 2024, we closed on the
PCEP Sale for gross cash proceeds of $48,000 and $2,000 in equity. On January 7, 2025, we paid a one-time special cash dividend of an
aggregate of $16,665. As of December 31, 2024, we recorded a consideration due to the buyer of the PCEP Sale of $3,347 related to a net
working capital adjustment. On April 16, 2025, we and the buyer from the PCEP Sale finalized the net working capital adjustment and as
a result, we recorded a $1,147 adjustment to the consideration due to the buyer of the PCEP Sale. During the year ended December 31,
2025, we paid the $2,200 consideration to the buyer of the PCEP Sale.
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 in the Middle East, 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 our clients, while also disrupting supply channels, sales channels and advertising and marketing activities for an
unknown period of time. Additionally, the shutdown of the U.S. federal government, recent changes to U.S. policy implemented by the U.S.
Congress, the Trump administration or any new administration have impacted and may in the future impact, among other things, the U.S.
and global economy, tariff policies and regulations, international trade relations, unemployment, immigration, healthcare, taxation,
the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation and other areas. As a result of the current uncertainty in economic activity, we are unable
to predict the potential size and duration of the impact on our revenue and our results of operations, if any. The extent of the potential
impact of these macroeconomic factors on our operational and financial performance will depend on a variety of factors, including the
extent of geopolitical disruption and its impact on our clients, partners, industry, and employees, all of which are uncertain at this
time and cannot be accurately predicted. We continue to monitor the effects of these macroeconomic factors and intend to take steps deemed
appropriate to limit the impact on our business. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we were able to operate substantially at capacity.
There
can be no assurance that precautionary measures, whether adopted by us or imposed by others, will be effective, and such measures could
negatively affect our sales, marketing, and client service efforts, delay and lengthen our sales cycles, decrease our employees’,
clients’, or partners’ productivity, or create operational or other challenges, any of which could harm our business and
results of operations.
The
cash flows related to the discontinued operations have not been segregated and are included in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Cash
Used in Operating Activities . Cash used in our operating activities was $5,818 during the year ended December 31, 2025, as
compared to cash used in our operating activities of $6,212 during the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in cash used in
operating activities is primarily due to working capital fluctuations and the payment of federal and state income taxes.
Cash
Used in/ Provided by Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2025, was $3,896,
as compared to cash provided by our investing activities of $38,876 during the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in cash used
in investing activities is primarily due to the payment of the $2,200 consideration to the buyer of the PCEP Sale during the year ended
December 31, 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, additions to our property and equipment were $2,677 and $3,759,
respectively.
During
the year ended December 31, 2025, we received a cash dividend of $981 from our equity method investee. We elected to apply the cumulative
earnings approach to classify distributions received from equity method investments in our consolidated statements of cash flows. Under
this method, distributions received from equity method investees are included in our consolidated statements of cash flows as operating
activities, unless the cumulative distributions exceed our share of cumulative equity in the investee’s net income (loss). In such
cases, the excess distributions are considered returns of investment and are classified as investing activities. As of December 31, 2025,
our cumulative distributions were $981, and our share of cumulative equity in the investee’s net loss was $601. As such, the cash
distribution received during the year ended December 31, 2025, was classified as investing activity in the consolidated statements of
cash flows.
Cash
Used in/ Provided by Financing Activities. Cash used in our financing activities was $16,949 during the year ended December 31, 2025,
as compared to cash provided by our financing activities $5,376 during the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in cash used in
financing activities is primarily due to the payment of a one-time special cash dividend.
Working
Capital . As of December 31, 2025, we had working capital of $20,659, including $14,959 of cash, compared to working capital of $26,679,
including $41,622 of cash on hand as of December 31, 2024.
Assessment
of Liquidity . As of December 31, 2025, we had $14,959 of cash on hand generated primarily from the PCEP Sale. We have historically
met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and bank borrowings, the completion of the sale of the
transformer business units in August 2019, the completion of the PCEP Sale in October 2024 and the sale of common stock. Historically,
our cash requirements were generally for operating activities, debt repayment, capital improvements and acquisitions.
23
We
expect to meet our cash needs with our working capital and cash flows from operating activities in the long-term. We expect our cash
requirements to be generally for operating activities, capital improvements and product development. We expect that product development
and promotional activities related to our new initiatives will continue in the near future and we expect to continue to incur costs related
to such activities. We expect that our cash balance is sufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months from the date our consolidated
financial statements are issued.
As
of December 31, 2025, we had no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), or other
relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that had, or that may have, a material effect on our financial condition,
changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Capital
Expenditures
Our
additions to property and equipment were $2,677 during the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $3,759 of additions during the
year ended December 31, 2024.
Known
Trends, Events, Uncertainties and Factors That May Affect Future Operations
We
believe that our future operating results will continue to be subject to quarterly variations based upon a wide variety of factors, including
the cyclical nature of the electrical equipment industry and the markets for our products and services. Our operating results could also
be impacted by changing customer requirements and exposure to fluctuations in prices of important raw supplies, such as copper, steel
and aluminum. We have various insurance policies, including cybersecurity, covering risks in amounts that we consider adequate. In addition
to these measures, we attempt to recover other cost increases through improvements to our manufacturing efficiency and through increases
in prices where competitively feasible. Lastly, other economic conditions we cannot foresee may affect customer demand. In addition,
the consequences of the ongoing geopolitical conflicts, such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the ongoing conflict
in the Middle East, including related sanctions and countermeasures, and the effects of rising global inflation, are difficult to predict,
and could adversely impact geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions, the global economy, and contribute to increased market volatility,
which may in turn adversely affect our business and operations. Additionally, recent changes to U.S. policy implemented by the U.S. Congress,
the Trump administration or any new administration have impacted and may in the future impact, among other things, the U.S. and global
economy, international trade relations, unemployment, immigration, healthcare, taxation, the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation and
other areas. Although we cannot predict the impact, if any, of these changes to our business, they could adversely affect our business.
We predominately sell to customers in the industrial production markets. Accordingly, changes in the condition of any of our customers
may have a greater impact than if our sales were more evenly distributed between different end markets. For a further discussion of factors
that may affect future operating results see the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements.”

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Shareholders
and Board of Directors
Pioneer
Power Solutions, Inc.
Fort
Lee, New Jersey
Opinion
on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December
31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years
then ended, 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 at December 31,
2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
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 audit 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
The
critical audit matters communicated below 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. The
communication of the critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as
a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters
or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Revenue
Transactions – Products and Services
As
described in Notes 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s principal source of revenue from contracts with
customers is derived from sales of products and fees for services. 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. Total revenues from products and services for the year ended December 31, 2025 were approximately $23.4 million.
We
identified the auditing of the accuracy and existence of revenue transactions as a critical audit matter. Auditing the accuracy and existence
of revenue transactions was especially challenging due to the significant audit effort involved in performing procedures, given the significance
of net sales and the large volume of transactions.
26
The
primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
● Obtaining
a sample of contracts and evaluating the key terms included in those contracts.
● Evaluating
the accuracy and existence of revenue transactions, on a sample basis, by agreeing invoices
to shipping documents, inspecting and verifying service reports, examining cash receipts
and/or confirming with customers, where applicable.
Sales-type
Leases
As
described in Notes 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, as a lessor, when a lease meets certain criteria indicating that
the Company has effectively transferred control of the underlying asset to the customer, the lease is classified as a sales-type lease.
Total revenues from sales-type leases for the year ended December 31, 2025 were approximately $2.9 million. The net investment in sales-type
leases consisted of lease receivables of $2.8 million as of December 31, 2025.
We
identified estimating the fair value of the underlying assets at lease commencement as a critical audit matter. The principal consideration
for our determination was management’s judgments and subjectivity required in assessing the fair value. Auditing these assumptions
and judgments involved especially challenging and subjective auditor judgment due to the nature and extent of audit effort required to
address these matters, including the involvement of professionals with specialized skills or knowledge.
The
primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
● Reviewing
the executed agreements related to the sales-type leases, and relevant terms and details.
● Utilizing
professionals with specialized skills and knowledge in valuation to assist in evaluating
the reasonableness of the fair value of the underlying assets at lease commencement.

1.
BUSINESS ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Pioneer
Power Solutions, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary (referred to herein as the “Company” or “Pioneer”) design,
manufacture, service and integrate distributed energy resources, power generation equipment and mobile electric vehicle (“EV”)
charging solutions. Our products and services are sold to a broad range of customers in the utility, industrial and commercial markets.
Our customers include, but are not limited to, federal and state government entities, package delivery businesses, school bus fleet
operations, EV charging infrastructure developers and owners, and distributed energy developers. We are headquartered in Fort Lee, New
Jersey and operate from two (2) additional locations in the United States for manufacturing, service and maintenance, engineering, and
sales and administration.
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 one reportable
segment: Critical Power Solutions (“Critical Power”). Financial information about the Company’s segment 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 subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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 in the Middle East, 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. Additionally, recent changes to U.S. policy implemented by the U.S. Congress, the Trump administration
or any new administration have impacted and may in the future impact, among other things, the U.S. and global economy, international
trade relations, unemployment, immigration, healthcare, taxation, the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation and other areas. 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.
32
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.

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, revenue recognition of and the net investment in sales-type leases, allowance for expected credit
losses, inventory valuation, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, equity-method investment, consideration to buyer, 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 from Contracts with Customers
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.
The
Company’s principal source of revenue from contracts with customers 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.
33
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.
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.
Shipping
and handling costs incurred after control of a product has transferred to the customer are treated as fulfillment costs and, therefore,
are not accounted for as separate performance obligations.
Certain
sales of highly customized electrical equipment under the Company’s Electrical Infrastructure segment (included in discontinued
operations; see Note 11 – Discontinued Operations for details) were recognized over time when such equipment had no alternative
use and the Company had an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. The Company’s measure of progress for
such contracts was 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 were 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 (discontinued operations)
Revenue
from over time contracts for the Company’s Electrical Infrastructure segment (included in discontinued operations; see Note 11
– Discontinued Operations for details) was 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 considered the best available indicator of the pattern and timing in which contract performance obligations were fulfilled
and control transferred to the customer. This percentage was multiplied by the contracted dollar amount of the project to determine the
amount of revenue to recognize in an accounting period.
There
were situations where the number of hours to complete projects may have exceeded the original estimate as a result of an increase in
project scope or unforeseen events. The related impact on income was recognized using the cumulative catch-up method in an accounting
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.
34
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.
Bill
and Hold Arrangements
From
time to time, the Company enters into bill and hold arrangements, whereby the Company sells mobile EV charging equipment and the equipment
is warehoused at a Company or third party location pursuant to directions received from the Company’s customer. Even though the
equipment is not physically in the customer’s possession, a sale is recognized at the point in time when the customer obtains control
of the product. Control is transferred to the customer in a bill and hold arrangement when: customer acceptance specifications have been
met, legal title has transferred, the customer has a present obligation to pay for the product and the risk and rewards of ownership
have transferred to the customer.
Additionally,
all the following bill and hold criteria must be met in order for control to be transferred to the customer: the reason for the bill
and hold arrangement is substantive, the customer has requested the product be warehoused, the product has been identified as separately
belonging to the customer, the product is currently ready for physical transfer to the customer, and the Company does not have the ability
to use the product or direct it to another customer.
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, depreciation and amortization, 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, the net investment in sales-type leases, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate
their respective fair values due to the relatively short period of time between their origination and their expected realization or payment.
Non-Recurring
Fair Value Measurements
Certain
financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments
in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment.
The
Company’s net investment in sales-type leases is initially recorded at the estimated fair value of the underlying assets as of
the respective lease commencement dates. Fair value is estimated using a cost-plus-margin approach, corroborated by the contractual pricing established in
negotiations with the lessee. After initial recognition, the net
investment is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The fair value measurement at commencement
is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as the inputs to the valuation are unobservable, including:
● The
cost of the underlying assets of the Company;
● The
margin applied to estimated cost to arrive at fair value; and
● The
contractual pricing established in negotiations with the lessee used to corroborate the fair value estimate.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s sales-type lease portfolio consisted of nine units leased to a single
lessee under two agreements with original terms of ten years. Five units commenced during the second quarter of 2025, with an aggregate
fair value at the measurement date of approximately $ 1,410 . Four units commenced during the fourth quarter of 2025, with an aggregate
fair value at the measurement date of approximately $ 1,460 . The rates implicit in the leases range from approximately 2.2 % to 5.9 % per
annum. As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate carrying amount of the net investment in sales-type leases was $ 2,843 , of which $ 268 was
attributable to sales-type lease arrangements in accounts receivable and $ 2,576 was included in lease receivable on the consolidated balance
sheet. There is no active secondary market for these instruments.
The
Company estimates that the carrying value of the net investment in sales-type leases approximates fair value as of December 31, 2025,
as all leases were originated during the year ended December 31, 2025, and limited time has elapsed between the respective commencement
dates and the reporting date, during which period there have been no significant changes in the credit profile of the lessee or in prevailing
market conditions that would cause a material divergence between the carrying amount and fair value.
See
Note 3 – Revenues for the components of the net investment in sales-type leases and the maturity analysis of lease receivables.
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:
As
of December 31, 2025, one customer represented approximately 25 % of the Company’s total accounts receivable. As of December 31,
2024, one customer represented approximately 72 % of the Company’s total accounts receivable.
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, two customers represented approximately 24 % and 13 % of the Company’s revenue. For the year ended
December 31, 2024, two customers represented approximately 22 % and 13 % of the Company’s revenue.
As
of December 31, 2025, one customer represented 100 % of the Company’s lease receivable balance.
As
of December 31, 2025, one of the Company’s vendors represented approximately 10 % of the Company’s accounts payable. As of
December 31, 2024, one of the Company’s vendors represented approximately 25 % of the Company’s accounts payable.
35
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. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company did not have any cash equivalents. The Company
has cash on deposits in one financial institution which may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)
insurance limits. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company had balances of $ 14,709 and $ 41,372 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. The Company
reduces its credit risk by placing its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions.
Accounts
Receivable
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 $ 23 of reserves for expected credit losses as of December 31, 2025, as compared
to $ 13 of reserves for expected credit losses as of December 31, 2024.
The
Company’s operating lease receivables are not within the scope of ASC 326. The Company assesses the collectability of operating lease
payments in accordance with ASC 842. At lease commencement and on an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates whether it is probable that
the Company will collect the lease payments due over the lease term. If collectability is not considered probable, lease income recognition
is constrained to the lesser of the straight-line lease income or lease payments received. As of December 31, 2025, no reserve has been
established against operating lease receivables as all amounts are considered collectible based on the Company’s assessment of lessee
payment history and creditworthiness.
As
of December 31, 2025, accounts receivable included $ 268 of amounts due under sales-type lease arrangements and $ 2,865 from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606. As of December 31, 2024, and January 1, 2024, the Company had
no sales-type lease arrangements, and the entire accounts receivable balance of $ 7,826 and $ 9,010 , respectively, was attributable to contracts
with customers within the scope of ASC 606.
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 as of December 31, 2025, and 2024.
Held
for Sale and Discontinued Operations
The
Company classifies assets and liabilities to be sold (disposal group) as held for sale in the period when all of the applicable criteria
are met, including: (i) management commits to a plan to sell, (ii) the disposal group is available to sell in its present condition,
(iii) there is an active program to locate a buyer, (iv) the disposal group is being actively marketed at a reasonable price in relation
to its fair value, (v) significant changes to the plan to sell are unlikely, and (vi) the sale of the disposal group is generally probable
of being completed within one year. Management performs an assessment at least quarterly or when events or changes in business circumstances
indicate that a change in classification may be necessary.
Assets
and liabilities held for sale are presented separately within the consolidated balance sheets with any adjustments necessary to measure
the disposal group at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Depreciation of property and equipment and amortization
of right-of-use assets are not recorded while these assets are classified as held for sale. For each period the disposal group remains
classified as held for sale, its recoverability is reassessed and any necessary adjustments are made to its carrying value.
The
Company reports the results of operations of a business as discontinued operations if a disposal represents a strategic shift that will
have a major effect on its operations and financial results. The results of discontinued operations are reported as income or loss from
discontinued operations, net of tax in the consolidated statements of operations for the current and prior periods commencing in the
period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Income or loss from discontinued operations, net of tax includes direct costs attributable
to the divested business and excludes any cost allocations associated with any shared or corporate functions unless otherwise dedicated
to the divested business. Income or loss from discontinued operations, net of tax will include any gain or loss recognized upon disposition
or from adjustment of the carrying amount to fair value less costs to sell while classified as held for sale.
Transactions
between the businesses held for sale and businesses held for use that are expected to continue after the disposal are not eliminated
in order to appropriately reflect the continuing operations as well as the activity to be disposed of.
36
Equity-Method
Investments
The
Company accounts for investments in LLCs in which the Company has more than virtually no influence, but does not control, under the
equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s initial investment in Pioneer Investment LLC
was recorded at fair value in accordance with ASC 810-10-40-5 as its equity method investment arose from a deconsolidation event.
See Note 11- Discontinued Operations and Note 12 – Equity Method Investment.
The
carrying amount is adjusted for the Company’s share of the earnings or losses, and dividends received from the investee. When the
Company’s share of losses in an investee equals or exceeds the carrying value of the investment plus any advances, no further losses
are recognized unless the Company has guaranteed obligations of the investee or is otherwise committed to provide further financial support
for the investee.
The
Company periodically assesses if impairment indicators exist at equity method investments. When an impairment indicator is observed,
any excess of the carrying amount over its estimated fair value is recognized as impairment expense when the loss in value is deemed
other-than-temporary and included in income or loss from equity method investments in the consolidated statements of operations.
In
relation to the Company’s investment in the Pioneer Investment LLC, the Company elected to recognize its proportional share of
the income or loss from the equity method investment on a financial reporting lag of one fiscal quarter due to the timing and
availability of financial information.
Leases
Lessee
Accounting
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.
Lessor
Accounting
The
Company determines whether an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. The Company leases generators and mobile EV charging equipment
to certain of its customers. As a lessor, when a lease meets certain criteria indicating that the Company has effectively transferred
control of the underlying asset to the customer, the lease is classified as a sales-type lease. When a lease does not meet the criteria
for a sales-type lease but meets the criteria of a direct financing lease, the lease is classified as a direct financing lease. When
none of the required criteria for sales-type lease or direct-financing lease are met, the lease is classified as an operating lease.
Sales-type
leases are recognized as a net investment in the lease on the consolidated balance sheets. The net investment comprises the lease receivable
including any unguaranteed residual value of the underlying asset. For sales-type leases, product revenue is generally recognized upon
lease commencement. The discounted unguaranteed residual value of the underlying leased assets is not material to the net investment
in the lease balance. The Company monitors the performance of customers who leased equipment and are subject to ongoing payments. No
allowance has been recorded for the receivables under the leasing arrangements.
The determination of whether the Company’s contracts contain leases generally does not require significant assumptions or judgments.
However, the Company exercises judgment in estimating the fair value of the underlying assets at lease commencement. Fair value is estimated
using a cost-plus-margin approach, corroborated by the contractual pricing established in negotiations with the lessee. Refer to the
Fair Value of Financial Instruments note for further discussion of the inputs and assumptions used in estimating fair value at lease commencement.
Leasing revenues do not include material amounts of variable payments.
Lessees do not provide residual value guarantees on rented equipment.
37
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, 2025, and 2024, the Company operated primarily 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. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax
assets for both periods, resulting in a net deferred tax asset of zero. If the Company was to subsequently determine that it would be
able to realize deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance 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.
Advertising
and Promotional Costs
We
expense advertising and promotional costs as incurred. Total advertising and promotional expenses were $ 437 and $ 311 for the years ended
December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.
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.
38
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 electric vehicle charging solutions. Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. During the years
ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company incurred $ 875 and $ 1,050 , respectively, of research and development expenses.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” related to
improvements to income tax disclosures. The amendments in this update require enhanced jurisdictional and other disaggregated
disclosures for the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in this update were adopted for the year ended December 31, 2025 on a retrospective basis and were effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2024. These updates did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, which requires public business
entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual
reporting periods. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that
adoption of this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
In
September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40):
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software.” This ASU modernizes the accounting guidance for internal-use
software by eliminating the previous project-stage model and replacing it with a “probable-to-complete” threshold. It also
relocates and supersedes the guidance for website development costs (previously in Subtopic 350-50) into Subtopic 350-40, and requires
entities to apply the presentation and disclosure requirements in Subtopic 360-10 to capitalized internal-use software costs regardless
of how those costs are presented in the financial statements. The amendments are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted (provided the
entity’s financial statements for that interim or annual period have not yet been issued or made available for issuance). The Company
is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and
footnote disclosures.
In
December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements.” This ASU clarifies
and reorganizes interim reporting disclosure requirements by introducing a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose significant
events and changes in circumstances that occur during interim periods. The amendments are intended to improve the consistency, usefulness,
and understandability of interim financial reporting by focusing disclosures on matters that are material to an understanding of the
entity’s financial position, cash flows, and results of operations. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim reporting
periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact that adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Company’s Electrical Infrastructure business (included in discontinued operations; see Note 11 – Discontinued Operations
for details) provided electric power systems and equipment and distributed energy resources that helped 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 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.
Revenue
Recognition
During
the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company recognized $ 221 and $ 558 of equipment revenue over time, respectively, from
its Critical Power segment. Additionally, the Company recognized $ 13,693 and $ 11,704 of revenue at a point in time from the sale of its
products, which is typically recognized upon delivery, from its Critical Power segment during the years ended December 31, 2025, and
2024, 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 $ 9,442 and $ 8,690 of service revenue during the years ended December 31, 2025, and
2024, respectively. Under its continuing operations, the Company recognizes revenue as services are provided. 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, 2025, was driven primarily by ordinary course contract activity. As of January 1, 2024,
the Company had a deferred revenue balance of $ 307 . For the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company recognized revenue of
$ 603 and $ 162 , respectively, related to amounts that were included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively,
resulting primarily from the progress made on the various active contracts during the respective reporting periods. As of December 31,
2025, the Company had $ 791 related to contract liabilities where performance obligations have not yet been satisfied, which has been
included within deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet.
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.
40
Concentration
of Risk
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company derived 24 % and 13 % of its revenue from two customers. For the year ended December 31,
2024, the Company derived 22 % and 13 % of its revenue from two customers. As of December 31, 2025, one customer’s outstanding receivable
balance equaled 25 % of the total outstanding receivable balance. As of December 31, 2024, one customer’s outstanding receivable
balance equaled 72 % of the total outstanding receivable balance.
As
of December 31, 2025, one customer represented 100 % of the Company’s lease receivable balance.
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 year ended December 31, 2025, were $653. Returns and warranties during the year ended
December 31, 2024, were $295.

The net investment in sales-type leases consisted entirely of lease receivables
of $ 2,843 as of December 31, 2025. There were no unguaranteed residual assets or deferred selling profit included in the net investment
as of December 31, 2025. Lessees do not provide residual value guarantees on leased equipment. The Company manages residual value risk by monitoring technological developments and anticipated market demand for its mobile EV charging
and power generation equipment. The Company evaluates its net investment in sales-type leases for credit losses in accordance with ASC
326, considering the creditworthiness of its lessees, historical payment experience, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable
forecasts.
As of December 31, 2025, one customer
represented 100 % of the Company’s lease receivable balance. Based on its assessment, including consideration of the lessee’s
financial condition and payment history, the Company determined that no material allowance for credit losses was necessary as of December
31, 2025.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock-Based
Compensation
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 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2011 Plan”), which expired on May 11,
2021, and which replaced and superseded the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (“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 ( 700,000 shares) as of December 31, 2025, of which one hundred percent ( 100 %) may be delivered pursuant
to incentive stock options. As of December 31, 2025, there were 306,663 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

and net operating losses.

July 4, 2025, the President signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), which makes several significant changes
to U.S. federal income tax law. Key provisions include:
● Extension
of 100% bonus depreciation under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 168(k)
for qualified property acquired after January 19, 2025.
● Expensing
of domestic research and experimental expenditures under new IRC Section 174A, applicable
for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, with acceleration options for expenditures
incurred between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2024.
● Modification
to the business interest expense limitation under IRC Section 163(j), reinstating EBITDA-based
adjustable taxable income (ATI) for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024.
The
Company has recognized the effects of the OBBBA provisions in its financial results to the extent they are applicable to the year ended
December 31, 2025.
The

As
of December 31, 2025, The Company had $ 8,238 of deferred tax assets on which it is taking a $ 7,452 valuation allowance. The total valuation
allowance of $ 7,452 as of December 31, 2025, represents an increase of $ 1,445 from December 31, 2024.
A
valuation allowance is established when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, management assessed all available positive and negative evidence, including historical
operating results, cumulative losses, projections of future taxable income, and sources of taxable income such as future reversals of
existing taxable temporary differences and tax-planning strategies. Significant judgment is required in assessing the weight of both
positive and negative evidence, particularly in determining the likelihood and timing of future taxable income.
Considering
the significant judgment required in assessing the likelihood, timing, and magnitude of future taxable income, and given the
relative weight and persuasiveness of the available evidence, management concluded that the negative evidence continues to outweigh
the positive evidence. As a result, the Company has determined that the continuation of a full valuation allowance remains
appropriate as of December 31, 2025. This includes a full valuation allowance for the Company’s foreign tax credits
(“FTCs”) as the Company does not anticipate generating any foreign source income to realize this benefit. As of December
31, 2025, the remaining balance of the Company’s FTCs was $ 3,446 . If not utilized, the FTCs will expire between 2026 and 2027.
The
Company has federal and state net operating loss (“NOLs”) carryforwards of approximately $ 7,267 and $ 21,227 , respectively,
as of December 31, 2025. The federal NOLs were generated in taxable years ending after December 31, 2017, and therefore may be carried
forward indefinitely. However, the utilization of such federal NOLs is generally limited to 80% of federal taxable income in any taxable
year. Certain state NOLs are subject to annual limitations under applicable tax law. If not utilized, a portion of these losses will
expire in varying amounts between 2028 and 2046.
Internal
Revenue Code Section 382 imposes an annual limitation on the utilization of net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards and certain other
tax attributes following a change in ownership. An ownership change generally occurs if the percentage of stock owned by 5-percent shareholders
increases by more than 50 percentage points during a rolling three-year period. As of December 31, 2025, the Company determined that
no ownership change occurred during the year under Section 382. Therefore, there is no annual limitation imposed on the utilization of
the Company’s federal NOL carryforwards. The Company has also evaluated the implications of Section 382 limitations at the state
level. Given that state conformity to federal Section 382 provisions varies significantly, additional state-specific considerations may
apply. The Company will continue to monitor any future ownership changes, legislative updates, or interpretive guidance related to Section
382, as such changes could impact the Company’s ability to realize these deferred tax assets.

The
Company has determined there are no uncertain tax positions requiring recognition or disclosure, including positions related to the sale
of PCEP. The Company regularly assesses the adequacy of its provisions for income tax contingencies in accordance with ASC 740-10. As
a result, the Company may adjust the reserves for unrecognized tax benefits for the impact of new facts and developments, such as changes
to interpretations of relevant tax law, assessments from taxing authorities, settlements with taxing authorities, and lapses of statutes
of limitations. Management has concluded that the current reserves are appropriate. The Company continues to monitor and evaluate uncertain
tax positions that may arise from future developments in tax law interpretations, regulations, or audit outcomes. The Company’s
tax returns remain subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and most state jurisdictions include the years 2022 and
forward.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Sale
of Electrical Infrastructure Segment
On
October 29, 2024, the Company entered into an Equity Contribution and Purchase Agreement (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”),
by and among the Company, PCEP, Voltaris Power LLC (the “Buyer”) and Pioneer Investment LLC (“Investment”). Pursuant
to the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to:
(i) contribute
4% of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of PCEP to Investment (the “Rollover
Interests”) in exchange for Investment issuing $2,000 of common units (representing
approximately 6% of Investment’s issued and outstanding common units on the Closing
Date (as defined below)) (the “Rollover Units”) to the Company; and
(ii) sell
all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of PCEP other than the Rollover Interests
to the Buyer ((i) and (ii) being, the “Equity Transaction”).
The
Equity Transaction included total consideration of (i) $ 48,000 in cash, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Equity Purchase
Agreement, and (ii) $ 2,000 in equity pursuant to Investment’s issuance of the Rollover Units to the Company. Following the execution
of the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Equity Transaction was consummated on October 29, 2024 (the “Closing Date”). PCEP represented
the entirety of the Company’s Electrical Infrastructure segment. As of December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a consideration
due to the Buyer of $ 3,347 related to a net working capital adjustment.
On
April 16, 2025, the Company and the Buyer finalized the net working capital adjustment and as a result, the Company recorded a
$ 1,147
reduction in the consideration due to the Buyer, which is included as a component of discontinued operations during the year ended
December 31, 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid the remaining $ 2,200
consideration to the Buyer.
The
results of operations of PCEP, as well as the gains realized on the sale of $ 449 and $ 35,044 , respectively, have been presented under
the caption “Income from discontinued operations, net of tax” in the consolidated statements of operations for the years
ended December 31, 2025, and 2024.
Summarized
Held for Sale and Discontinued Operation Financial Information
The
income tax (benefit/expense) associated with discontinued operations primarily reflects the tax effects of the 2024 disposal gains along
with the utilization of previously unrecognized tax attributes and valuation allowance reversals. The previous valuation allowance established
on these deferred tax assets was reversed when the Company entered into a definitive sale agreement in 2024. The closing of the transaction
provided certainty related to the amounts realized and the resulting gain for tax purposes allowed the Company to utilize the deferred
tax assets. The determination whether it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets were not going to be realized was no longer
applicable.
Income
tax expense associated with discontinued operations totaled $ 702 in 2025, and $ 5,497 in 2024, reflecting tax disposal gains, offset by
utilization of tax attributes and related valuation allowance reversals.
The
following table summarizes the results from discontinued operations, net of tax included in the consolidated statements of operations

Continuing
Involvement
As
a result of the Company’s investment in Rollover Units of Investment, which is accounted for as an equity method investment (see
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Equity-Method Investment), the Company determined that it has continuing
involvement with the discontinued operation, which is expected to continue for as long as the Company retains its investment in Rollover
Units. There are no revenues or expenses presented in continuing operations after the disposal transaction that before the disposal transaction
were eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as intra-entity transactions. Prior to the disposal transaction, the Company owned 100 % of the discontinued operation, PCEP.
In connection with the Equity Transaction, the Company and the Buyer entered into a Transition Services Agreement
(“TSA”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide the Buyer with certain transition services, including treasury and
cash management support, payroll, benefits and human resources administration, technology and ERP transition support, infrastructure and
desktop services, communications and data transfer, product hosting services, and knowledge transfer (collectively, the “Transition
Services”), for various service periods ranging from 30 days to 12 months following the Closing Date. In addition, the Buyer agreed
to provide the Company with the services of one human resources employee in California through October 31, 2025. Either party could terminate
individual services upon 30 days’ prior written notice, subject to certain exceptions for payroll and benefits-related services.
Fees
for the Transition Services are based on reimbursable costs incurred by the Company. The Company records amounts billed for reimbursable
Transition Services in prepaid expenses and other current assets and records the related costs in selling, general and administrative
expenses. The Buyer provided human resources services to the Company at no cost. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, amounts due from
the Buyer related to reimbursable Transition Services of $ 14 and $ 171 , respectively, were included in prepaid expenses and other current
assets. The TSA has since been completed, and no further obligations remain as of December 31, 2025.
12.
EQUITY-METHOD INVESTMENT
As
disclosed in Note 11 – Discontinued Operations, on October 29, 2024, the Company deconsolidated its subsidiary, PCEP. As part
of the transaction, the Company retained an equity interest of approximately 6% in Pioneer Investment LLC via the issuance of
Rollover Units. The Company estimated the fair value of the retained equity interest on the date of deconsolidation, which was
determined to be $ 2,000
based on the Company’s proportionate share of Investment, which was calculated using the market approach based on the Equity
Transaction. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a loss from equity method investee of $ 601 ,
which is included in other expense on the consolidated statement of operations.
During
the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company received a cash dividend of $ 981
from the equity method investee which has been recorded as
a reduction in the investment account. The Company applies the cumulative earnings approach to classify distributions received from equity
method investments in its consolidated statements of cash flows. Under this method, distributions received from equity method investees
are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows as operating activities, unless the cumulative distributions
exceed the Company’s share of cumulative equity in the investee’s net earnings. In such cases, the excess distributions are considered
returns of investment and are classified as investing activities. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s cumulative distributions
were $ 981 ,
and the Company did not have cumulative equity in the investee’s net earnings . As such, the cash distribution received during the year ended December 31, 2025, was classified as investing
activity in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

BUSINESS SEGMENT, GEOGRAPHIC AND CUSTOMER INFORMATION
The
CEO, as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), organizes the Company, manages resource allocations and measures performance
of the Company’s single operating segment, Critical Power Solutions. The Critical Power Solutions reportable segment is the Company’s
Titan Energy Systems, Inc. business unit. The Critical Power Solutions segment provides mobile high capacity charging equipment, power
generation equipment and aftermarket field-services in order to help customers secure fast vehicle charging where fixed charging infrastructure
does not exist, and additionally to ensure smooth, uninterrupted power to operations during times of emergency.
The
CODM assesses the Company’s performance and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net income (loss) in the
consolidated statements of operations, which is assessed to be the segment measure of profit or loss. This measure is used to
monitor actual results to evaluate the performance of the segment versus the forecasted targets. The segment assets are equal to
total assets presented in the consolidated balance sheets.
The
significant expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM, which include costs of goods sold, selling, general and administrative
expenses and research and development expenses, are disclosed in the consolidated statements of operations as a part of the consolidated
net income (loss). Other segment items regularly provided to the CODM include interest income, net and other income (expense), each of which is disclosed
as a separate line item in the consolidated statements of operations.
On
October 29, 2024, the Company sold its Electrical Infrastructure segment to the Buyer. Prior to the sale of the Electrical Infrastructure
segment, the Company’s CODM assessed performance and allocated resources amongst its two reportable segments. See Note 11- Discontinued
Operations for additional information.

Management’s
Conclusions Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2025, the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The disclosure
controls and procedures evaluation was done in conjunction with an independent consultant and consulting firm and under the supervision
and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. There are inherent limitations
to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. As of December 31, 2025, based on the evaluation of these disclosure
controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our chief executive
officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. In light of this determination,
our management has performed additional analyses, reconciliations, and other post-closing procedures and has concluded that, notwithstanding
the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, the consolidated financial statements for the periods covered
by and included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly state, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations
and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that controls
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate
over time.
Management,
including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). A material weakness is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis. In our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2025, we determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025,
due to material weaknesses related to i) a lack of sufficient accounting personnel with the requisite skills, knowledge
and expertise resulting in an inability to maintain proper segregation of duties and effective controls and ii) information technology
general controls related to user access and privileged access within systems supporting the Company’s accounting and financial reporting
processes which allowed certain individuals to have elevated access to systems inconsistent with such individuals’ business needs.
Management’s
Plan to Remediate the Material Weaknesses
The
Company is executing a comprehensive remediation plan centered on implementing a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”)
system designed to enhance automation, improve process consistency and strengthen the reliability of financial reporting. The new ERP
replaces multiple legacy systems and manual workflows with a single integrated platform containing embedded controls and standardized
processes.
During
the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company completed major stages of the implementation, including process design, system
configuration, and initial deployment. As part of this effort, management is refining key process-level controls, enhancing IT
general controls, including strengthening controls related to system security and user access, implementing additional automated
monitoring activities and providing additional training as needed to relevant personnel. Internal audit and external specialists
continue to support the assessment of the new control framework.
The
Company remains committed to completing the remaining ERP implementation phases and dedicating the resources necessary to strengthen
its control environment.
Additionally,
the Company plans to hire additional accounting and finance personnel with the requisite skills, knowledge and expertise to address identified
control deficiencies.
55
The
Company is committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and believes these remediation efforts will represent significant
improvements in its controls over the control environment. Additional controls may also be required over time. While the Company believes
that these efforts will improve its internal control over financial reporting, the Company will not be able to conclude whether the steps
the Company is taking will remediate the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting until a sufficient period of
time has passed to allow management to test the design and operational effectiveness of the new and enhanced controls. Until the remediation
steps set forth above are fully implemented and tested, the material weaknesses described above will continue to exist.
This
Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control
over financial reporting, as permitted by the rules of the SEC.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As of November 1, 2025, the Company completed
the initial implementation of a new ERP system designed to enhance the integration and automation of its financial and operational processes.
The implementation of the ERP system resulted in changes to internal controls over financial reporting, including updates to certain
processes, transaction workflows, system based controls and data interfaces. These changes were part of a planned system upgrade intended
to strengthen the overall control environment.
In
connection with the ERP implementation, management performed additional testing and monitoring activities to validate the design and
operating effectiveness of affected controls. These activities included user training, parallel processing, reconciliation procedures,
and enhanced supervision during the transition period. As of December 31, 2025, management is still in the process of enhancing and refining
controls and system configurations.
Other
than described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months
ended December 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.

Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics
We
have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to our directors, officers, and employees, including our principal executive
officer and principal financial and accounting officer, which is posted on our website at www.pioneerpowersolutions.com. We intend to
disclose future amendments to certain provisions of the code of ethics, or waivers of such provisions granted to executive officers and

Insider
Trading Policy
We
maintain an insider trading policy that applies to our officers, directors and employees that prohibits trading our securities during
certain established periods and when in possession of material non-public information. It also prohibits, unless approved in advance
in limited circumstances by the policy administrator, the hedging of our securities, including short sales or purchases or sales of derivative
securities based on our securities, and the use of our securities to secure a margin or other loan. Since the adoption of our insider
trading policy, the policy administrator has not granted any such exemptions to the policy’s general prohibition on hedging or
pledging. A copy of our Insider Trading Policy is included as Exhibit 19.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM
11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation
Philosophy and Process
Since
January 18, 2022, the responsibility for establishing, administering and interpreting our policies governing the compensation and benefits
for our executive officers lies with our compensation committee. Our compensation committee has not retained the services of any compensation
consultants.
The
goals of our executive compensation program are to attract, motivate and retain individuals with the skills and qualities necessary to
support and develop our business within the framework of our size and available resources. In 2018, we designed our executive compensation
program to achieve the following objectives:
● attract
and retain executives experienced in developing and delivering products such as our own;
● motivate
and reward executives whose experience and skills are critical to our success;
● reward
performance; and
● align
the interests of our executive officers and other key employees with those of our stockholders
by motivating our executive officers and other key employees to increase stockholder value.
We
appointed a compensation committee in January 2022 when we no longer qualified as a “controlled company” under the corporate
governance rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. We did not engage any compensation consultants to determine or recommend the amount and
form of executive and director compensation during and for the year ended December 31, 2025. At this time, our compensation committee
has, and previously our board of directors had, determined that the financial and administrative burden of engaging compensation consultants
is not justified in light of our Company’s size, its resources and our relatively small number of executive officers and directors.
Rather, beginning in the year ended December 31, 2022, we anticipate that the recommended level, components and rationale for our compensation
program will be developed and presented each year by our compensation committee to the board of directors for its consideration and approval.
We
adopted a Clawback Policy on November 9, 2023, as an additional safeguard to mitigate compensation risks. The Clawback Policy is incorporated
by reference as Exhibit 97.1 to this Annual Report.
All dollar amounts (except tables, share and per share
data) presented are stated in thousands of dollars.

Compensation Table
The
following table summarizes, for each of the last two fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, the compensation paid to (i) Nathan

2021
Long-Term Incentive Plan
On
October 13, 2021, our board of directors adopted 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.
Our outside directors and our 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, 2025, there were 306,663 shares available for future grants under the Company’s
2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan was initially administered by our board of directors, but it has been administered by the compensation committee
following the creation of such committee in the first quarter of 2022.

13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
Certain
Related Transactions and Relationships
Generally,
we do not enter into related party transactions unless the members of the board who do not have an interest in the potential transaction
have reviewed the transaction and determined that (i) we would not be able to obtain better terms by engaging in a transaction with a
non-related party and (ii) the transaction is in our best interest. This policy applies generally to any transaction in which we are
to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120 or 1% of the average of our total assets at year end for the
previous two completed fiscal years, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. This policy
is not currently in writing. In addition, our audit committee, which was established on March 24, 2011, is required to pre-approve any
related party transactions pursuant to its charter.
On

agreement with PCEP as the sole stockholder and president of Pacific, pursuant to which he agreed to provide service and consultation
with respect to the business and operations of PCEP and its affiliates, as may be requested from time to time by PCEP (the “Whyte
Consulting Agreement”). Mr. Whyte has remained a consultant of PCEP since July 31, 2015. The initial term ended on July 31, 2017,
and has been renewed annually thereafter. In consideration for the consulting services Mr. Whyte performs as a consultant of PCEP,
he originally received a monthly consulting fee of $17, as well as a 4% commission payment for product sales generated by new customer
accounts solicited by him, through his solely owned personal business Blue Mountain Industries, Inc. Effective January 1, 2023, Mr. Whyte’s
monthly consulting fee was reduced to $5 with a 2% commission payment. Pursuant to the Whyte Consulting Agreement, for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2024, the Company paid Blue Mountain Industries, Inc. an aggregate amount of $91. During the fiscal year ended December
31, 2025, Blue Mountain Industries, Inc. received an additional $12 for board of directors meeting fees.

promotional planning for the prospective introduction of new products to the Company’s eMobility’s line of business. Geo
Murickan is the owner of Vini Villa III Corp. and the president of the Company’s eMobility division.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company sold a refurbished
generator to Voltaris Power LLC (“Voltaris”), a related party. The Company recognized revenue of approximately $47 and cost
of revenue of approximately $38 in connection with this transaction. The terms of the sale, including pricing, were consistent with those
offered to unrelated third-party customers for similar goods. As of December 31, 2025, accounts receivable included approximately $52

Director
Independence

board of directors has determined that each of Yossi Cohn, Ian Ross, David Tesler and Jonathan Tulkoff satisfy the requirements for independence
set out in Section 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules and that each of these directors has no material relationship with us
(other than being a director and/or a stockholder). In making its independence determinations, the board of directors sought to identify

our company and our affiliates and did not rely on categorical standards other than those contained in the Nasdaq Stock Market rule referenced
above.
