Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Q3 2025 revenue increased 24.3% year-over-year, driven by higher sales volume of transmission products. YTD revenue grew 3.4%.
• Profitability Surge: Q3 Net Income attributable to shareholders jumped from a loss of $0.68 million in Q3 2024 to a profit of $5.73 million. This was significantly aided by a $1.53 million gain from the change in fair value of warrant liability (compared to a $2.66 million loss in Q3 2024).
• Expense Volatility: YTD General and Administrative (G&A) expenses increased 108.9% to $9.58 million, primarily due to a one-time $6.95 million stock-based compensation expense from issuing 3.8 million shares to employees in May 2025. Conversely, R&D expenses decreased 57.4% YTD.
• Liquidity Shift: Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $2.72 million from year-end 2024, largely due to an increase in short-term investments (bank management products) which rose by $10.56 million.
• Debt Reduction: Total liabilities decreased by $8.74 million compared to December 31, 2024, driven by repayments of notes payable and loans from related parties.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Outlook: Management expects to continue generating positive cash flow. The company plans to fund operations through cash flow, bank borrowings, and potential equity financing. They anticipate cash flow improvements for the remainder of fiscal year 2025.
• Internal Control Weakness: The company disclosed a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting due to a lack of sufficient and competent financial reporting personnel with U.S. GAAP knowledge. Remedial actions include recruiting qualified staff and formalizing policies.
• Risk Factors:
  • Customer Concentration: One customer accounted for 15.31% of YTD 2025 revenue. The top five customers contributed 40.02% of revenue.
  • China Operations: Significant exposure to PRC economic conditions, regulatory changes, and currency conversion restrictions.
  • Delisting Risk: Potential risk under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act if the PCAOB cannot inspect the auditor.
  • Raw Material Costs: Volatility in steel prices could impact margins.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Warrant Liability Impact: Verify the sustainability of net income, as Q3 results were heavily influenced by a non-cash gain on warrant liability valuation.
• Stock-Based Compensation: Assess the impact of the $6.95 million one-time G&A expense on future profitability and cash burn.
• Internal Controls: Monitor the progress of remediation for the material weakness in financial reporting personnel.
• Cash vs. Investments: Review the liquidity position, noting that a significant portion of liquid assets ($29.1M) is tied up in short-term investments rather than unrestricted cash.
• Customer Dependence: Evaluate the risk associated with the top customer representing over 15% of annualized revenue.
