Key Financial Metrics (Six Months Ended Dec 31, 2025)

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 579% to $11.3 million for the six months ended Dec 31, 2025, compared to $1.66 million in the prior year period. This was driven by the expansion of sales channels beyond the local Southern California installer market.
• Expense Expansion: General and Administrative (G&A) expenses surged to $7.46 million (from $2.28 million) due to the engagement of a new CEO, hiring of additional personnel, and significant non-cash stock compensation ($3.02 million).
• Acquisition Impact: The company acquired assets from Neubau Energy Inc. in October 2025, introducing depreciation and amortization expenses of $108,283, which were zero in the prior year.
• Debt and Losses: Net loss widened to $6.78 million (from $1.94 million) largely due to a $858,002 non-operating loss on debt exchanges and increased interest expense ($593,834 vs $24,546).
• Liquidity: Cash balances decreased from $794,836 to $242,434, despite financing activities providing $4.53 million in net cash, due to significant operating cash outflows ($4.58 million).

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Capital Raises: The company completed a private offering in December 2025 raising $3.0 million. Subsequent to the period end (Jan/Feb 2026), the company raised an additional $10 million via a registered direct offering and $10 million via a private offering to fund a joint venture.
• Joint Venture: In January 2026, NeoVolta formed a joint venture for a battery manufacturing facility in the southeastern U.S., holding a 60% interest. The company is obligated to make capital contributions up to $40 million, with the next $8 million due by April 30, 2026.
• Going Concern: Management believes current credit sources and recent equity proceeds are sufficient to operate for at least the next 12 months, though the company is not yet generating break-even operating cash flow.
• Risks:
  • Internal Controls: Disclosure controls were deemed ineffective due to a material weakness regarding the lack of segregation of duties.
  • Supply Chain: Reliance on single-source suppliers in China for batteries and inverters; exposure to tariff fluctuations (though rates were lowered in Nov 2025).
  • Customer Concentration: Two customers represented 76% of revenue for the three months ended Dec 31, 2025.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Cash Runway: Verify the sufficiency of the $242k cash balance on hand against the $8 million capital contribution due to the joint venture by April 30, 2026, and ongoing operating losses.
• Debt Terms: Review the terms of the short-term notes payable (2.5% monthly interest) and the line of credit (16% annual interest) to assess refinancing risk.
• Revenue Quality: Assess the sustainability of revenue growth given the high concentration of two major customers (61% and 15% of Q4 revenue).
• Stock Dilution: Monitor the impact of the recent private offerings and the potential issuance of up to 4 million additional shares as contingent consideration for the Neubau acquisition.
• Internal Controls: Confirm the timeline and plan for remediation of the material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting.
