### Overview

We are the market leader in microturbine energy systems based on the number of microturbines sold annually and total installed base. Generally, power purchased from the electric utility grid is less costly than power produced by distributed generation technologies in simple cycle mode. Utilities may also charge fees to interconnect to their power grids. However, when considering and including the waste heat from our microturbine (CHP and CCHP) the economic benefit improves significantly. Further, our highly efficient, low emission, resilient technology can produce thermal energy at a lower carbon footprint. These benefits can be especially realized when fuel costs are low, where the costs of connecting to the grid may be high or impractical (such as remote power applications or new grid services need to be provided), where reliability and power quality are of critical importance, or in situations where peak shaving could be economically advantageous because of highly variable electricity prices. Our microturbines are an inverter-based technology and can be interconnected to other distributed energy resources to form “microgrids” (also called “distribution networks”) located within a specific geographic area and provide power to a group of buildings. Because our microturbines can provide a reliable source of power and can operate on multiple fuel sources, management believes they help solve the “Energy Trilemma” of resiliency, sustainability and affordability. Management also believes our products and services offer a level of flexibility not currently offered by other technologies such as reciprocating engines. We are currently exploring energy conversion options for the smaller end of the power spectrum.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, our net loss decreased by $1.8 million, or 32%, to $3.9 million and our basic and diluted loss per share decreased by 32% to $(0.21), compared to a $5.7 million net loss and $(0.31) net loss per share during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease to net loss during the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to lower interest expenses, an increase in other income, net and lower operating expenses, offset by a decrease in revenue and a decrease in contribution from our higher parts, services and rentals business.

In the energy efficiency market, we continue to expand our market presence in hotels, office buildings, hospitals, retail, and industrial applications globally. The renewable energy market is fueled by landfill gas, biodiesel, and biogas from sources such as food processing, agricultural waste and livestock manure. Our product sales in the oil and gas and other natural resources market is driven by our microturbines’ reliability, emissions profile and ease of installation. Given the volatility of the oil and gas market, our business strategy is to ensure diversification by also targeting projects within the energy efficiency and renewable energy markets.

We continue to focus on improving our products based on customer input, building brand awareness and new channels to market by developing a diversified network of strategic distribution partners. Our focus is on products and solutions that provide near term opportunities to drive repeatable business rather than discrete projects for niche markets. In addition, management closely monitors operating expenses and strives to improve manufacturing efficiencies while simultaneously lowering direct material costs and increasing average selling prices. The key drivers to our success are revenue growth, higher average selling prices, lower direct material costs, positive new order flow, reduced cash usage and expansion of the Energy-as-a-Service (“EaaS”) business.

An overview of our direction, targets and key initiatives are as follows:

*1.* Our Energy Conversion Products business line is driven by our industry-leading, highly efficient, low-emission, resilient microturbine energy systems offering scalable solutions in addition to a broad range of customer-tailored solutions. We target specific market verticals for these products.

***Focus on Vertical Markets.*** Within the distributed generation markets that we serve, we focus on vertical markets that we identify as having the greatest near-term potential. In our primary products and applications (energy efficiency, natural resources, renewable energy, critical power supply, microgrid and transportation products), we identify specific targeted vertical market segments. Within each of these segments, we identify what we believe to be the critical factors to success and base our plans on those factors. Given the volatility of the oil and gas market, we have refocused our business strategy to principally target projects within the energy efficiency and renewable energy markets.

The following table summarizes our percentage or product revenues by vertical markets for which we had product revenues for the periods presented:

| ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 ​ | ​ | ​ ​ 2023 |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- | ---: |
| Energy efficiency | ​ | 36% | ​ | 43% |
| Natural resources | ​ | 34% | ​ | 47% |
| Renewable energy | ​ | 30% | ​ | 10% |

#### Energy Efficiency—CHP/CCHP

Energy efficiency refers to the proper utilization of both electrical and thermal energies in the power production process. In such applications, our microturbines are able to maximize the availability of usable energy to provide a significant economic advantage to our customers while reducing their on-site emissions. CHP and CCHP can improve site economics by capturing the waste heat created from a single combustion process to increase the efficiency of the total system, from approximately 30% to approximately 85% for hot water and chilled water to as much as 90% or more for some steam and direct drying applications. Compared with more traditional, independent generation sources, the increase in operational efficiency also reduces greenhouse gas emissions through the displacement of other separate systems, which can also reduce operating costs and industrial waste.

#### Natural Resources—Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Shale Gas & Mining

Our microturbines are installed in the natural resource market for use in both onshore and offshore applications, including oil and gas exploration, production, and at compression and transmission sites as a highly efficient and reliable source of power. In some cases, these oil and gas or mining operations have no electric utility grid and rely solely on power generated on-site. There are numerous locations, on a global scale, where the drilling, production, compression and transportation of natural resources and other extraction and production processes create fuel byproducts, which are traditionally burned or released into the atmosphere. Our microturbines can turn these fuel byproducts, such as flare gas, or associated gas, into useable fuel to provide prime power to these sites.

#### Renewable Energy

There is a growing transition to renewable energy sources and technologies on a global scale. Our microturbines run efficiently on renewable fuels such as methane and other biogases from landfills, wastewater treatment facilities and renewable natural gas. They also run efficiently on other small biogas applications like food processing plants, livestock farms and agricultural green waste operations. Microturbines can burn these renewable fuels with minimal emissions, thereby, in some cases, avoiding the imposition of penalties incurred for pollution while simultaneously producing electricity from this “free” renewable fuel source for use at the site or in the surrounding areas. Our microturbines have demonstrated effectiveness in these smaller applications and may outperform conventional combustion engines in some situations, including when the gas contains a high amount of sulfur, as the sulfur can contaminate combustion engines’ lube oil, leading to equipment breakdowns and higher lifecycle costs.

#### Microgrid

Microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources that acts as a single controllable energy entity with respect to the grid. Distributed energy resources typically include other dual- mode microturbines, reciprocating engines, solar photovoltaic (PV), wind turbines, fuel cells and battery storage. Microgrids can be connected to larger electricity grids; however, in the event of a widespread outage, the microgrid will disconnect from the main grid and continue to operate independently to maintain the electricity supply to the homes and businesses that are connected to the microgrid’s electricity network. Our microturbines have the ability to meet the needs of microgrid end-users by lowering their overall cost to operate and by providing versatile dispatchable technology that is fuel flexible and scalable enough to fit a wide variety of applications.

#### Transportation

Our technology can also be used to support Electric Vehicle (“EV”) market by providing power solutions to charge vehicles. Our products can fill a void in the EV market for vehicle charging capacity and charging convenience. Our customers have applied our products in EV applications for fleets and remote location charging stations. We are continuing to pursue global EV charging opportunities to fill the demand for power in this market segment.

#### Backlog

Net product orders were approximately $3.4 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Ending backlog was approximately $12.4 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $14.2 million at March 31, 2024. The book-to-bill ratio was 0.7:1 and 0.2:1 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Book-to-bill ratio is the ratio of new orders we received to units shipped and billed during a period.

A portion of our backlog is concentrated in the oil and gas market, which may impact the overall timing of shipments or the conversion of backlog to revenue. The timing of the backlog is based on the requirement date indicated by our customers. However, based on historical experience, management expects that a significant portion of our backlog may not be shipped within the next 18 months. Additionally, the timing of shipments is subject to change based on several variables (including customer deposits, payments, availability of credit and customer delivery schedule changes), most of which are not in our control and can affect the timing of our revenue. As a result, management believes the book-to-bill ratio demonstrates the current demand for our products in the given period.

*2.* ***Sales and Distribution Channels*** We seek out distributors that have business experience and capabilities to support our growth plans in our targeted markets. A significant portion of our revenue is derived from sales to distributors that resell our products to end users. We have a total of 54 distributors, Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) and national accounts. In the United States and Canada, we currently have 8 distributors, OEMs and national accounts. Outside of the United States and Canada, we currently have 46 distributors, OEMs and national accounts. We continue to refine our distribution channels to address our specific targeted markets.

*3.* ***Service*** As part of our EaaS business line, we provide service primarily through our global distribution network. Together with our global distribution network, we offer a comprehensive factory protection plan for a fixed fee to perform regularly scheduled and unscheduled maintenance as needed. We provide factory and on-site training to certify all personnel that are allowed to perform service on our microturbines. Factory protection plans (“FPPs”) are generally paid quarterly in advance.

We offer new and remanufactured parts through our global distribution network. Service revenue in the first quarter of Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 was approximately 29% and 21% of total revenue, respectively.

*4.* ***Product Robustness and Life Cycle Maintenance Costs*** We continue to invest in enhancements that relate to high performance and high reliability. An important element of our continued innovation and product strategy is to focus on the engineering of our product hardware and electronics to make them work together more effectively and deliver improved microturbine performance, reliability and low maintenance costs to our customers.

*5.* ***New Product Development*** Our new product development is targeted specifically to meet the needs of our selected vertical markets. We expect that our existing product platforms, the C65, C200, C600, C800 and C1000S Series microturbines, will be our foundational product lines for the foreseeable future. Our research and development project portfolio is centered on enhancing the features of these base products.

We have continued to develop our new hydrogen products. In March 2022, we released a commercially available hydrogen-based combined heat and power product, which can safely run on a 30% hydrogen-70% natural gas mix. In continuing these efforts, we are testing a 100% hydrogen gas combustion system through our research and development partnership with Argonne National Laboratory.

*6.* ***Cost and Core Competencies*** We believe that the core competencies of our products are our recuperator design, air-bearing technology, advanced combustion technology and sophisticated power electronics to form efficient and ultra-low emission electricity and cooling and heat production systems. Our core intellectual property is contained within our air-bearing technology. We continue to review avenues for cost reduction by sourcing from the best value supply chain option. In order to utilize manufacturing facilities and technology more effectively, we are focused on continuous improvements in manufacturing processes. Additionally, considerable effort is being directed to manufacturing cost reduction through process improvement, product design, advanced manufacturing technology, supply management and logistics. Management expects to be able to leverage our costs as product volumes increase.

Our manufacturing designs include the use of conventional technology, which has been proven in high- volume automotive and turbocharger production for many years. Many components used in the manufacture of our products are readily fabricated from commonly available raw materials or off-the-shelf items available from multiple supply sources; however, certain items are custom made to meet our specifications and require longer lead times. We believe that in most cases, adequate capacity exists at our suppliers and that alternative sources of supply are available or could be developed within a reasonable period of time; however, it may be more challenging to transition to another supplier from single source suppliers with long lead times. We regularly reassess the adequacy and abilities of our suppliers to meet our future needs.

We believe that effective execution in each of these key areas will be necessary to leverage our promising technology and early market leadership into achieving positive cash flow with growing market presence and improving financial performance.

We currently occupy warehouse and office space in Van Nuys, California with a production capacity of approximately 2,000 units per year, depending on product mix.

### Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and related disclosures of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including but not limited to those related to inventories, credit losses and redeemable noncontrolling interests valuations. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Critical accounting estimates are defined as follows: (1) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (2) 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.

Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024 describe the significant accounting estimates used in the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

### Results of Operations

### Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

The following table summarizes our revenue by geographic markets (in millions):

| ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 | ​ | ​ ​ 2023 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| United States and Canada | ​ | $9.0 | ​ | $12.1 |
| Europe | ​ | ​ 3.4 | ​ | ​ 6.9 |
| Latin America | ​ | ​ 0.8 | ​ | ​ 1.1 |
| Asia and Australia | ​ | ​ 2.2 | ​ | ​ 3.7 |
| Middle East and Africa | ​ | ​ 0.2 | ​ | ​ 0.1 |
| Total Revenue | ​ | $15.6 | ​ | $23.9 |

***Revenue.*** Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $8.3 million to $15.6 million from $23.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The $8.3 million decrease was primarily driven by decreases in revenue of $3.5 million in Europe, $3.1 million in the United States and Canada, $1.5 million in Asia and Australia and $0.3 million in Latin America, offset by an increase of $0.1 million in the Middle East and Africa. The decreases in Europe, United States and Canada, Asia and Australia and Latin America were primarily due to decreases in product deliveries for projects during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in the Middle East and Africa was primarily due to an increase in our revenue from our parts shipments to the region, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.

The following table summarizes our revenue (revenue amounts in millions):

| ​ ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 Revenue | ​ | ​ Megawatts | ​ | ​ Units | ​ ​ | ​ ​ 2023 Revenue | ​ | ​ Megawatts | ​ | ​ Units |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---: | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Microturbine Product | ​ | $5.3 | ​ | 4.0 | ​ | 19 | ​ | $13.0 | ​ | 11.0 | ​ | 62 |
| Accessories | ​ | 0.1 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 0.2 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ |
| Total Product and Accessories | ​ | 5.4 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 13.2 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ |
| ​ | ​ | ​ ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ |
| Parts and services | ​ | 7.9 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 7.7 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ |
| Rentals | ​ | 2.3 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 3.0 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ |
| Total Revenue | ​ | $15.6 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | $23.9 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ |

Revenue from microturbine products and accessories for the three months ended June 30, 2024, decreased $7.8 million, or 59%, to $5.4 million from $13.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The $7.8 million decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in megawatts and units shipped during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Megawatts shipped were 4.0 megawatts and 11.0 megawatts during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Product demand was adversely affected by the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy as customers assessed the long-term viability of the Company. Average revenue per megawatt shipped was approximately $1.3 million and $1.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The timing of shipments is variable and based on several factors (including customer deposits, payments, availability of credit and delivery schedule changes), most of which are not within our control and can affect the timing of revenue recognition.

Parts, service and rentals revenue (which are part of our EaaS business line and includes revenue from our parts shipments, FPP contracts, rentals, Distributor Support Subscription (“DSS”) fees, and other service revenue) decreased $0.5 million, or 5%, to $10.2 million for three months ended June 30, 2024 from $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The $0.5 million decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $0.7 million in rentals as a result of lower utilization, a decrease of $0.2 million in revenue from our distributor support services as this revenue is no longer reported by us, and DSS service fees are reported as Other income and a decrease of $0.2 million in revenue from our FPP contracts, partially offset by an increase of $0.6 million in spare parts revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Refer to Note 13— Commitments and Contingencies— Related Party Transactions, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information related to the distributor support services business in connection with our Reorganization during Fiscal 2024.

Sales to Lone Star Power Solutions, LLC, Cal Microturbine, E-Finity Distribution Generation and Optimal Group Australia Pty Ltd, accounted for 16%, 13%, 11% and 11% of our revenue for the three months ended June

30, 2024, respectively. Sales to Horizon Power Systems, Optimal Group Australia Pty Ltd and E-Finity Distribution Generation, accounted for 15%, 13% and 10% of our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

***Gross Profit.*** Cost of goods sold includes direct material costs, production and service center labor and overhead, inventory charges and provision for estimated product warranty expenses. Gross profit was $3.8 million, or 24% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a gross profit of $3.4 million, or 14% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The $0.4 million increase was primarily the result of increases in product pricing and relatively increased revenue from our higher margin parts and service revenue, and lower inventory and warranty charges, partially offset by higher direct material costs and production and service center labor and overhead expenses. Effective March 2024, we increased our sales prices and are negotiating with vendors to reduce material costs.

The following table summarizes our gross profit (in millions except percentages):

| ​ ​ ​ Gross Profit | ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 ​ ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ ​ 2023 ​ ​ ​ ​ |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- | ---: |
| Product and accessories | ​ | $(0.6) ​ | ​ | $(1.0) ​ |
| As a percentage of product and accessories revenue | ​ | (11)% | ​ | (7)% |
| ​ | ​ | ​ ​ | ​ | ​ ​ |
| Parts, services and rentals | ​ | $4.4 ​ | ​ | $4.4 ​ |
| As a percentage of parts, services and rentals revenue | ​ | 43% | ​ | 41% |
| ​ | ​ | ​ ​ | ​ | ​ ​ |
| Total gross profit | ​ | $3.8 ​ | ​ | $3.4 ​ |
| As a percentage of total revenue | ​ | ​ 24% | ​ | ​ 14% |

The improvement of $0.4 million in product and accessories gross profit was primarily due to higher product pricing and product mix during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Product and accessories gross margin as a percentage of product and accessories revenue decreased to (11)% during the three months ended June 30, 2024, from (7)% during the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to lower margin product revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2024. Parts, services and rentals gross margin as a percentage of parts and service revenue increased to 43% during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 41% during the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily as a result of increases in parts prices and lower overhead costs in the three months ended June 30, 2024.

***Research and Development (“R&D”) Expenses.*** R&D expenses were $0.5 million and $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease of $0.2 million, or 29%, was primarily due to lower labor costs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

***Selling, General, and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses.*** SG&A expenses were $6.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

***Interest Expense.*** Interest Expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $1.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a lower average debt balance during the first quarter of Fiscal 2025 as a result of the Reorganization compared to the $51.0 million pre-petition debt balance during the first quarter of Fiscal 2024. See Liquidity and Capital Resources below for additional discussion on our interest expense.

### Liquidity and Capital Resources

### Cash Flows

Our cash requirements depend on many factors, including the execution of our business strategy and plan. Our cash increased $1.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to net cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by cash used in investing activities.

***Operating Activities*** During the three months ended June 30, 2024, $2.1 million was provided by cash in our operating activities, which consisted of a net loss for the period of $3.9 million, partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2.8 million and non-cash adjustments (primarily representing depreciation and amortization, non-cash lease expenses and paid-in-kind (“PIK”) interest) of $3.2 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, $4.8 million in cash was used in our operating activities, which consisted of a net loss for the period of $5.7 million, changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1.2 million and non-cash adjustments (primarily representing depreciation and amortization, non-cash lease expenses and stock-based compensation expense) of $2.1 million.

The following is a summary of the significant sources (uses) of cash from operating activities (in thousands):

| ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 | ​ | ​ ​ 2023 |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- | ---: |

| Other changes in operating assets and liabilities | ​ | 642 | ​ | (4,442) |

(1) Represents changes in depreciation and amortization, non-cash lease expenses, PIK interest, stock-based compensation expense and inventory, warranty and credit loss provisions.

The change in non-cash operating activities during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily driven by an increase in paid-in-kind interest expense related to the interest incurred since issuing the Notes in December 2023. The change in accounts receivable was primarily the result of lower revenue levels and timing of collections during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The change in inventory was primarily the result of an increase in finished goods during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The change in accounts payable and accrued expenses was primarily due to lower payments to vendors during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The change in other operating assets and liabilities during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily due to the increases in deferred revenue attributable to customer deposits, FPP contracts and the DSS program.

***Investing Activities*** Net cash used in investing activities of $0.1 million and $2.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, was primarily due to investment in operating and rental fleet assets during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

***Financing Activities*** Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was for repayment of notes payable and lease obligations.

***Debt*** Refer to Note 11— Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) for information related to our notes.

***Lease Commitments*** Refer to Note 14— Leases in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information related to our leases.

***Going Concern*** In connection with preparing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended June 30, 2024, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about our ability to meet our obligations as they became due for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of our financial statements. As of June 30, 2024, we had cash of $4.0 million and a working capital deficit of $12.0 million. We incurred a net loss of $3.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

On September 28, 2023, we filed for a prepackaged financial restructuring with our Senior Lender, Goldman Sachs under the U.S. Chapter 11 Bankruptcy laws. We emerged from Bankruptcy on December 7, 2023 (“Emergence”) and effected a financial and organizational restructuring. However, given our current cash position, lack of liquidity, limits to accessing capital and debt funding options, and current economic and market risks, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern and our ability to meet our financial obligations as they become due over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of the financial statements as of, and for the period ended June 30, 2024.

As a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item.

## Controls and procedures

As filed, 7,643 characters.

#### Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in and pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

#### Material Weakness

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our CEO and CFO and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel 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 and includes those policies and procedures that:

- Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
- Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
- Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual and interim financial statements will not be detected or prevented on a timely basis. The following material weaknesses were identified:

- There was an inappropriate tone at the top established by certain former senior executives. For example, certain former senior executives delayed shipments of parts under the FPP service contracts, which because of our incorrect accounting for our FPP program resulted in delayed recording of the associated expense and liabilities on the Company’s financial statements. These business practices were also not properly communicated to our Board, Audit Committee, or independent registered public accounting firm.
- We lacked sufficient qualified professionals with an appropriate level of accounting and internal control knowledge, training and experience to (i) appropriately analyze, record and disclose accounting matters timely and accurately and (ii) design and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting.
- We did not perform a sufficient review of accounting policies to ensure ongoing adherence with U.S. GAAP.
- We did not design and maintain effective controls over financial reporting for systems, products, parts, and accessories sales subject to bill and hold arrangements with customers.
- We did not design and maintain effective controls over financial reporting related to the proper accounting, presentation and disclosure for FPP service contracts, including the cost recognition of parts and labor associated with FPP service contracts.

#### Management’s Remediation Plan

Management, with the direction and oversight of the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors, is engaged in remediation actions to address the material weaknesses described above. The Company’s remediation actions include, but are not limited to the following:

- The Company has reinforced and will continue to reinforce its tone at the top through enhanced communication of the Company’s values and expected business conduct to their personnel directly from the Company’s senior leadership.
- Management is enhancing our quarterly disclosure committee meetings to require additional communication of business activities to the appropriate finance and accounting personnel and to our Board and Audit Committee as required.
- The Company has hired and continues to hire additional accounting and compliance personnel as is necessary to maintain an effective control environment commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. Management will continue to assess the composition of its resource needs, both internal and external, which may include hiring additional accounting and compliance resources, including engaging in third-party advisors when necessary.
- Management is implementing a formal process to periodically review and update accounting policies.
- Management has reviewed and refined the Company’s current accounting memorandums related to product, parts, and accessories sales and FPP service contracts to address the proper financial reporting considerations. Additionally, management is enhancing the design of and implementing controls over financial reporting for (i) systems, products, parts, and accessories sales subject to bill and hold arrangements with customers and (ii) FPP service contracts, including the cost recognition of parts and labor associated with FPP service contracts.

We believe these measures will remediate the material weaknesses, but management is assessing the need for any additional steps to remediate the underlying causes that gave rise to these weaknesses. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. There is no assurance that additional remediation steps will not be necessary.

#### Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13d-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

#### Inherent limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Control

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.
