Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue: The Company recorded $10,500 in "Other revenue" for the six months ended June 30, 2026, from a service agreement with the Utah Division of Water Resources. No core business revenue was generated. This compares to $0 revenue in the prior year period.
- Expenses: General and administrative expenses increased significantly to $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $2.4 million in the prior year period. This increase is largely driven by stock-based compensation ($1.7 million) and personnel costs.
- Net Loss: Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was $5.1 million, compared to $2.4 million in the same period in 2025. The widening loss is attributed to increased operational scaling, field operations costs ($197,423), and higher interest expenses ($449,556).
- Debt Conversion: On June 5, 2026, the Company converted $4.0 million of related-party debt into 1,612,903 shares of Class A common stock.
- Asset Base: Total assets increased to $2.4 million from $1.8 million at year-end 2025, driven by an increase in prepaid expenses and construction-in-process equipment.
Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
- Going Concern: Management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year following the issuance of the financial statements. The Company has a working capital deficit of approximately $13.1 million and cash of only $32,608. Continued operations depend on securing additional financing through debt, equity, or related-party support.
- Nasdaq Compliance: The Company received notice from Nasdaq on February 18, 2026, that its Market Value of Listed Securities (MVLS) fell below the $35 million minimum requirement. The Company has until August 17, 2026, to regain compliance. Failure to do so could result in delisting.
- Operational Outlook: Two AEI systems were placed in service in November 2025 in Utah. Ten additional units are completed and available for deployment. The Company is pursuing pilot programs in the US and a potential commercial lease agreement in Turkey (contingent on an order by December 31, 2026).
- Financing Activities: The Company entered into an At-The-Market (ATM) offering program on June 30, 2026, allowing for the sale of up to $3.5 million in stock. Subsequent to the period end, the Company sold approximately 1.36 million shares for $2.3 million in gross proceeds.
- Unusual Items: The Company recognized a gain of $325,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, due to a change in the fair value of warrant liabilities. This non-cash gain partially offset the operating loss.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Liquidity Runway: Verify the sufficiency of the $32,608 cash balance against the $13.1 million working capital deficit and the timeline for the next capital raise.
- Nasdaq Compliance: Monitor the Company's ability to meet the $35 million MVLS requirement by the August 17, 2026 deadline to avoid delisting.
- Related Party Dependence: Assess the terms and availability of the $10 million line of credit with RHY Management LLC (affiliate of Chairman Harry You), noting that $8.5 million is already outstanding.
- Revenue Validation: Confirm the status of the Turkey lease agreement (contingent on order by Dec 31, 2026) and the Colorado pilot project to determine if core revenue generation is imminent.
- Internal Controls: Note the material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting disclosed in the 10-K, which remains unremediated as of this filing.
