The company is incorporated in Nevada and is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California.

Key Financial Metrics and Debt
- New Debt Obligation: The Company drew down a "Second Advance" of $650,000 under an existing Loan and Security Agreement with Energy Capital, LLC.
- Interest Rate: The principal bears interest at the greater of 11.25% per annum or 11.25% plus the Prime Rate (as published by the Wall Street Journal) less 3.25%.
- Collateral: All amounts outstanding are secured by a lien on the Company's assets, subject to terms of other outstanding debt obligations.
- Revenue and Profit: The filing text does not provide a clear value for revenue, profit, cash flow, or margins as this is a current report regarding a specific transaction rather than a periodic financial statement.
Material Changes and Terms
The material change reported is the increase in outstanding debt by $650,000. The proceeds from this advance are designated primarily for operating capital. The loan maturity is set to the earlier of September 30, 2019, or the completion of a capital raise yielding minimum proceeds of $20.0 million to the Company. The agreement includes customary events of default, affirmative and negative covenants, and allows the lender to require prepayment of principal and accrued interest upon an event of default.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The filing highlights a significant liquidity contingency: the debt becomes due immediately upon the completion of a capital raise of at least $20.0 million. This structure suggests the Company is actively pursuing equity financing to refinance or repay this obligation. The transaction was executed as a private placement exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, relying on the purchaser's sophistication and lack of general solicitation.
