SUNation Energy, Inc. (formerly Communications Systems, Inc., Pineapple Holdings, Inc., and Pineapple Energy Inc.) (“SUNE”, “SUNation Energy”, “we” or the “Company”), was originally organized as a Minnesota corporation in 1969. On March 28, 2022, the Company completed its previously announced merger transaction with Pineapple Energy LLC (“Pineapple Energy”) in accordance with the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 1, 2021, as amended by an Amendment No. 1 to Merger Agreement dated December 16, 2021 (collectively the “merger agreement”), by and among the Company, Helios Merger Co., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”), Pineapple Energy LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Lake Street Solar LLC as the Members’ Representative, and Randall D. Sampson as the Shareholders’ Representative, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Pineapple Energy, with Pineapple Energy surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “merger”). Following the closing of the merger (the “Closing”) the Company changed its name from Communications Systems, Inc. to Pineapple Holdings, Inc. and commenced doing business using the Pineapple name, and subsequently, on April 13, 2022, changed its name to Pineapple Energy Inc.
On November 14, 2024, the Company filed articles of conversion with the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota and filed a certificate of conversion with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware changing its jurisdiction of incorporation from Minnesota to Delaware (the “Reincorporation”), as well as having filed a Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on this same date.

The effects of the Reverse Stock Splits have been reflected in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for all periods presented.
Impact of the Reverse Stock Splits
The impact of the Reverse Stock Splits was applied retroactively for all periods presented in accordance with applicable guidance. Therefore, prior period amounts are different than those previously reported.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 included on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 15, 2025. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company uses estimates based on the best information available in recording transactions and balances resulting from operations. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The Company’s estimates consist principally of allowances for credit losses, revenue recognition on commercial projects based on percentage of completion, asset impairment evaluations, accruals for compensation plans, lower of cost or market inventory adjustments, fair value measurements, provisions for income taxes and deferred taxes, depreciable lives of fixed assets, and amortizable lives of intangible assets.
For purposes of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company may invest in short-term money market funds that are not considered to be bank deposits and are not insured or guaranteed by the federal deposit insurance company (“FDIC”) or other government agency. These money market funds seek to preserve the value of the investment at $
contingent value rights (“CVRs”) and cannot be used to support the working capital needs of the SUNation Energy business.
Accounts receivable are recorded at their net realizable value and are not collateralized. Accounts receivable include amounts earned less payments received and allowances for credit losses. Management continually monitors and adjusts its allowances associated with the Company’s receivables to address any credit risks associated with the accounts receivable and periodically writes off receivables when collection is not considered probable. The Company does not charge interest on past due accounts. When uncertainty exists as to the collection of receivables, the Company records an allowance for credit losses and a corresponding charge to credit loss expense.
Inventories, which consist primarily of materials and supplies used in the installation of solar systems, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with costs computed on a weighted average cost basis. The Company periodically reviews its inventories for excess and obsolete items and adjusts carrying costs to estimated net realizable values when they are determined to be less than cost. The inventory reserve was $
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations and additions or improvements are capitalized. Items of property sold, retired or otherwise disposed of are removed from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts and any gains or losses on disposal are reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Goodwill represents the amount by which the purchase prices (including liabilities assumed) of acquired businesses exceed the estimated fair value of the net tangible assets and separately identifiable intangible assets of these businesses. Definite lived intangible assets, consisting primarily of trade names and technology, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested at least annually for impairment. The Company reassesses the value of our reporting units and related goodwill balances annually on October 1 and at other times if events have occurred or circumstances exist that indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable.
The Company has issued various financial instruments, including preferred stock. Instruments containing redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control are classified as redeemable or mezzanine equity. The purpose of this classification is to convey that such a security may not be permanently part of equity and could result in a demand for cash, securities or other assets of the entity in the future.
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance, ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” Management’s assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, whether they meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815.
The Company evaluates its contracts to determine if those contracts qualify as derivatives under ASC 815. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, including the Company’s contingent forward contract, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then subsequently remeasured to fair value on each balance sheet date thereafter. Any changes in fair value are recorded in other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period of change.
Revenue is recognized when there is a transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company sells solar power systems under construction and development agreements to residential and commercial customers. The completed system is sold as a single performance obligation. For residential contracts, revenue is recognized at the point-in-time when the systems are placed into service. Any advance payments received in the form of customer deposits are recorded as contract liabilities.
Commercial contracts are generally completed within to
The State of Hawaii imposes a gross receipts tax on all business operations done in Hawaii. The Company records the tax revenue and expense on a gross basis.
Cost of sales consists of direct and indirect material and labor costs for solar energy system installations as well as warranty costs, permitting fees, financing fees and overhead, including costs related to procurement, warehousing and inventory management.
The Company accounts for share-based compensation awards on a fair value basis. The estimated grant date fair value of each stock-based award is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period). The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.
SUNation offers product warranties for various periods against defects in material or installation workmanship. The manufacturers of the solar panels and the inverters provide a warranty period of generally
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding the method to allocate resources and assess performance. Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is a committee comprised of our chief executive officer, chief operating officer and chief financial officer. Based on the financial information presented to and reviewed by our CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance, we have determined we have
Basic net loss attributable to common shareholders per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net loss attributable to common shareholders per common share adjusts for the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding. The Company had $
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative,” which is intended to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of topics. Many of the amendments will allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements and align the requirements in the FASB accounting standard codification with the SEC’s regulations. The amendments in ASU 2023-06 will become effective on the date the related disclosures are removed from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K by the SEC, and will no longer be effective if the SEC has not removed the applicable disclosure requirement by June 30,
2027. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU and the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. This ASU is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU and the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, which requires disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU and the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual report periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in ASU Update 2020-06. Adoption can be on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU and the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On December 7, 2022, the Company’s shareholders approved an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), pursuant to which eligible employees are able to acquire shares of common stock at a purchase price determined by the board of directors or compensation committee prior to the start of each six-month plan phase, which price may not be less than
Series A Preferred Stock
In June 2021, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to issue Series A Preferred Stock. At such time, the Series A Preferred Stock contained certain anti-dilution provisions. In November 2022, the Company amended and restated the agreement under which Series A Preferred shareholders agreed to waive such provisions in exchange for certain concessions from the Company. The Company’s outstanding Series A Preferred Stock contained anti-dilution provisions that would increase the number of shares issuable upon conversion, and lower the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock if the Company issues equity securities at a price less than the current conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock at the time of such issuance. In February 2024, the Company entered into a Limited Waiver and Amendment (“Waiver”) and the investors agreed to a floor of $
The Company is required to analyze amendments to preferred stock terms to determine the appropriate method of accounting to be applied. The Company determined that the Waiver resulted in an extinguishment of the Series A Preferred Stock. As a result, the Series A Preferred Stock was revalued immediately after the Waiver in February 2024. The difference between the previous carrying amount and the fair value of $
In addition, management evaluated the Series A Preferred Stock after the modifications and determined that they should be reclassified to mezzanine equity under ASC 480-10-S99 as a result of the Company not having sufficient authorized and unissued shares to settle a conversion to Common Stock.
Warrants
In September 2021, the Company entered into transactions with holders of its outstanding Series A Preferred Stock to issue PIPE Warrants to purchase the Company's common stock. At such time, the PIPE Warrants contained certain anti-dilution provisions. In November 2022, the Company amended and restated the agreement under which PIPE Warrant holders agreed to waive such provisions in exchange for certain concessions from the Company. The Company’s outstanding Series A Warrants have anti-dilution provisions that would increase the number of shares issuable upon exercise and lower the exercise price of the Series A Warrants if the Company issues equity securities at a price less than the current exercise price of the Series A Warrants at the time of such issuance. Pursuant to the Waiver, investors agreed to a floor of $
The PIPE Warrants were valued immediately before and immediately after the modifications to calculate the $
Management evaluated the warrants after the modifications made in February 2024 and determined that they should be reclassified from equity to liability based on the guidance in ASC 815-40 and the Company failing to have enough authorized and unissued shares available to settle an exercise of the contract. In accordance with ASC 815-40, the carrying value of the warrants were adjusted to fair value through an adjustment in stockholders’ equity immediately prior to the reclassification. Subsequent to the reclassification, management remeasured the warrant liability to fair value and recorded the change in fair value to other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
On September 9, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement with the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to cancel and retire the Series A Preferred Stock and warrants in exchange for shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series C Preferred Stock”).

On October 21, 2024, the Company entered into an At the Market (“ATM”) Offering Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Sales Agent”). The Company has authorized the sale, at its discretion, of common stock shares in an aggregate offering amount up to $

On February 26, 2025, the Company entered into a consent and waiver agreement to the loan agreement with Conduit. In accordance therewith, the Company issued
February 2025 Offering
On February 27, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors in which Roth Capital Partners LLC (“Roth”) acted as the placement agent pursuant to the terms of a Placement Agent Agreement (“PAA”) of same date, for the purchase and sale of an aggregate of $
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and agreements of the Company and the Purchaser and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties.
The first closing of the Offering occurred on February 27, 2025. The Company determined that the second closing of the Offering represents a firm commitment and a contingent forward contract to issue and sell additional shares of common stock or Pre-Funded Warrants and the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants upon the receipt of approval by the Company’s stockholders to approve the issuance of the Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and the shares of common stock underlying such warrants. The Company determined that the contingent forward contract is a freestanding financial
instrument that does not meet the requirements for equity classification due to certain settlement provisions that fail the indexation guidance in ASC 815-40 and meets the definition of a derivative. As a result, the contingent forward contract was recorded as a liability initially at its fair value on the date of issuance and will be subsequently remeasured to fair value on each balance sheet date until the underlying instruments are issued and sold in the second closing of the Offering. The Company determined the initial fair value of the contingent forward contract to be $
The shares of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants issued and sold in the first closing of the Offering were classified as a component of permanent equity and recorded at the issuance date using a relative fair value allocation method of the remaining proceeds of the Offering after recording the contingent forward contract at its fair value on the date of issuance. The Pre-Funded Warrants were equity classified because they were freestanding financial instruments that were legally detachable and separately exercisable from the equity instruments, were immediately exercisable, did not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its shares, and permitted the holders to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise. In addition, such Pre-Funded Warrants did not provide any guarantee of value or return. As of March 31, 2025, all
Pursuant to the PAA between the Company and Roth, the Company engaged Roth to act as the Company’s exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering. The Company agreed to pay the placement agent a cash fee of
In the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, management calculates income taxes based upon the estimated effective rate applicable to operating results for the full fiscal year. This includes estimating the current tax liability as well as assessing differences resulting from different treatment of items for tax and book accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are recorded on the balance sheet. Management analyzes these assets and liabilities regularly and assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income.
The Company’s effective income tax rate from continuing operations was (
NOTE 11 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s segment structure reflects how management makes financial decisions and allocates resources. The Company manages its operations based on the combined results of the residential and commercial businesses with a geographical focus. The SUNation segment provides solar power, battery storage, and related services to customers primarily in New York and Florida. The Hawaii Energy Connection (“HEC”) segment provides the same products and services to residential and commercial customers in Hawaii. The Company’s CODM is represented by a committee that includes the Company’s CEO, CFO, and COO. The CODM regularly reviews discrete financial information for SUNation and HEC in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Corporate and other represents the
unallocated corporate business activities and corporate shared services, which support the Company’s operating segments, along with operating and other expenses related to legacy CSI assets.
During 2024 management determined that their
The CODM committee evaluates performance for both reportable segments based on segment revenue, gross profit, and operating (loss) income before income taxes. When using these metrics, the CODM committee considers forecast-to-actual variances on a quarterly basis when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment. The CODM committee also uses these metrics for evaluating pricing strategy to assess the performance of each segment by comparing the results of each segment with one another and in determining the compensation of certain employees.
Summarized financial information for the Company’s reportable segments are presented and reconciled to consolidated financial information in the following tables, including a reconciliation of segment earnings to income before income taxes. This reconciliation also represents the significant expense categories reviewed by the CODM.

The accounting guidance establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar instruments and quoted prices in markets that are not active, and inputs that are directly observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 2 are typically either comparable to actively traded securities or contracts, such as treasury securities with pricing interpolated from recent trades of similar securities, or priced with models using highly observable inputs, such as commodity options priced using observable forward prices and volatilities.
Level 3 – Significant inputs to pricing that have little or no observability as of the reporting date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 are those with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation, such as the complex and subjective models and forecasts used to determine the fair value of financial instruments.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are summarized below.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need additional capital resources.

These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Offering Second Tranche Closing
On April 3, 2025, the Company received the necessary approval by the Company’s stockholders in a specially called stockholder meeting to approve the issuance of the Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and the shares of common stock underlying such warrants, in addition to other matters.

Nasdaq Delisting Notice
On April 11, 2025 the Company received a letter (the “Minimum Bid Price Deficiency Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the
Instead, the Company is offered an opportunity to appeal any deficiency related to a delisting determination to Nasdaq by seven days from receipt of the April 2025 non-compliance notice. Following receipt of the April 2025 deficiency notice, the Company timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearing Panel. The hearing request automatically stayed any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period, if granted by the Panel, following the hearing.
Subsequent thereto, the Company has received an additional written notice from the Staff on May 13, 2025, regarding its further determination to delist the Company’s securities pursuant to its discretionary authority under Listing Rule 5101 based on public interest concerns related to the Company’s recent securities offering announced on February 27, 2025, which it determined involved the issuance of deeply discounted securities. The Company has received a Hearing Panel date, and intends to continue with the hearing panel process and does not expect to be mooted out of it based on this additional delisting compliance notice. Notwithstanding the Company’s having maintained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price requirements for nineteen (19) consecutive days as of the date of this quarterly report (in relation to the April 2025 non-compliance notice), the Hearing Panel may take into consideration in reaching its ultimate decision the Staff determination of May 13, 2025. There can be no assurance that the Hearing Panel will grant the Company an additional extension period or that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, the failure of which would result in a delisting of the Company’s common stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market.
April 2025 Reverse Stock Split
On April 16, 2025, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate of Amendment”) to implement a reverse stock split. The Company’s common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on April 21. 2025. The Company’s stockholders approved the Certificate of Amendment at a special meeting of its stockholders held on April 3, 2025. As a result of the reverse stock split, every shares of common stock then issued and outstanding automatically were combined into one share of common stock, with no change in par value per share.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) and our audited financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 15, 2025.
Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report and, from time to time, reports filed with the SEC, in press releases, and in other communications to shareholders or the investing public, may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Words such as “may,” “will,” “can,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “plan,” “seek,” “believe,” “are confident that,” “look forward to,” “predict,” “estimate,” “potential,” “project,” “target,” “forecast,” “see,” “intend,” “design,” “strive,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “assume,” “guide,” “position,” “continue” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs, expectations and assumptions that are subject to significant risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances include, but are not limited to:
if our shareholders sell, or indicate an intention to sell, substantial amounts of our stock in the public market, the trading price of our common stock could decline;
if we fail to design and implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, we may be subject to sanctions or investigations by regulatory authorities or lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports;
if our common stock market price continues to be highly volatile, it may harm the value of the investment of our shareholders in our common stock;
if we issue additional common stock, it may materially dilute the ownership interests of our shareholders;
anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents and agreements may discourage or prevent a change in control, even if a sale of Pineapple could be beneficial to our shareholders;
our board of directors may establish shares of preferred stock in series and fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each series which may be senior to or on parity with our common stock, which may reduce its value;
our growth strategy depends on the continued origination of solar installation agreements;
if we fail to manage our operations and growth effectively, we may be unable to execute our business plan, maintain high levels of customer service or adequately address competitive challenges;
we need to raise additional capital to fund our operations and repay our obligations, which funding may not be available on favorable terms or at all and may lead to substantial dilution to our existing shareholders. Further, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which conditions may adversely affect our stock price and our ability to raise capital;
our common stock may be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market if we cannot maintain compliance with the applicable listing standards;
we may face claims for monetary damages, penalties, and other significant items pursuant to existing contractual arrangements, as well as litigation or threatened litigations, which, if material, may strain our cashflow and operations, as well as take away substantial time and attention from management that is necessary to for business operations and potential growth opportunities;
we depend on a limited number of suppliers of solar energy system components and technologies to adequately meet demand for our solar energy systems;
increases in the cost of our solar energy systems due to tariffs and other trade restrictions imposed by the U.S. government could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations;
our operating results and our ability to grow may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year, which could make our future performance difficult to predict and could cause our operating results for a particular period to fall below expectations.
we may have difficulty integrating the businesses from the SUNation transaction with our existing operations or otherwise obtaining the strategic benefits of the acquisition;
if we are unable to make acquisitions on economically acceptable terms, our future growth would be limited, and any acquisitions we may make could reduce, rather than increase, our cash flows;
product liability and property damage claims against us or accidents could result in adverse publicity and potentially significant monetary damages;
we will not be able to insure against all potential risks and we may become subject to higher insurance premiums;
damage to our brand and reputation or change or loss of use of our brand could harm our business and results of operations;
the loss of one or more members of our senior management or key employees may adversely affect our ability to implement our strategy;
our inability to protect our intellectual property could adversely affect our business. We may also be subject to intellectual property rights claims by third parties, which are extremely costly to defend, could require us to pay significant damages and could limit our ability to use certain technologies;
we may be subject to interruptions or failures in our information technology systems;
our information technology systems may be exposed to various cybersecurity risks and other disruptions that could impair our ability to operate, adversely affect our business, and damage our brand and reputation;
our failure to hire and retain a sufficient number of key employees, such as installers and electricians, would constrain our growth and our ability to timely complete projects;
our business is concentrated in certain markets, putting us at risk of region-specific disruptions;
if sufficient additional demand for residential solar energy systems does not develop or takes longer to develop than we anticipate, our ability to originate solar installation agreements may decrease;
our business prospects are dependent in part on a continuing decline in the cost of solar energy system components and our business may be adversely affected to the extent the cost of these components stabilize or increase in the future;
we face competition from centralized electric utilities, retail electric providers, independent power producers and renewable energy companies;
developments in technology or improvements in distributed solar energy generation and related technologies or components may materially adversely affect demand for our offerings;
a material reduction in the retail price of electricity charged by electric utilities or other retail electricity providers could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations;
terrorist or cyberattacks against centralized utilities could adversely affect our business;
climate change may have long-term impacts on our business, industry, and the global economy;
increases in the cost of our solar energy systems due to tariffs imposed by the U.S. government could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations;
we are not currently regulated as an electric public utility under applicable law, but may be subject to regulation as an electric utility in the future;
electric utility policies and regulations, including those affecting electric rates, may present regulatory and economic barriers to the purchase and use of solar energy systems that may significantly reduce demand for our solar energy systems and adversely impact our ability to originate new solar installation agreements;
we rely on net metering and related policies to sell solar systems to our customers in most of our current markets, and changes to policies governing net metering may significantly reduce demand for electricity from residential solar energy systems and thus for our installation services;
a customer’s decision to procure installation services from us depends in part on the availability of rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives. The expiration, elimination or reduction of these rebates, credits or incentives or our ability to monetize them could adversely impact our business;
technical and regulatory limitations regarding the interconnection of solar energy systems to the electrical grid may significantly delay interconnections and customer in-service dates, harming our growth rate and customer satisfaction; and
compliance with occupational safety and health requirements and best practices can be costly, and noncompliance with such requirements may result in potentially significant monetary penalties, operational delays and adverse publicity.
Other risks and uncertainties are discussed more fully under the caption “Risk Factors” in our filings with the SEC, including in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

No fractional shares were outstanding following the April Reverse Stock Split, and any fractional shares that would have resulted from the April Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. The number of shares of common stock outstanding was reduced from 672,799,910 to 3,406,614.
Effective as of the same time as the June 2024 Reverse Stock Split, October 2024 Reverse Stock Split, and April 2025 Reverse Stock Split (collectively known as the “Reverse Stock Splits”), the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Company's equity compensation plans were automatically reduced in proportion to the Reverse Stock Splits ratio. Upon effectiveness, the Reverse Stock Splits also resulted in reductions in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or vesting of equity awards in proportion to the Reverse Stock Splits ratios and caused a proportionate increase in exercise price or share-based performance criteria, if any, applicable to such awards.

Consolidated sales decreased $582,559, or 4.4% to $12,636,638 in the first quarter of 2025 from $13,219,197 in the first quarter of 2025, with declines primarily within the residential contract and service revenue streams. On a consolidated basis, while overall kilowatts installed on residential projects increased 7% in the first quarter of 2025 from the first quarter of 2024, this was offset by a 13% decrease in price per watt due to lower battery kilowatts installed within HEC.
Consolidated gross profit decreased to $4,431,325 in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to gross profit of $4,805,448 in the first quarter of 2024 due primarily to the decrease in revenue during the quarter. Gross margin decreased slightly to 35% during the first quarter of 2025 as compared to 36% in the first quarter of 2024.
Consolidated operating expenses decreased 5.6% to $6,598,673 in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to $6,988,402 in the first quarter of 2024. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $589,729, or 9%, to $6,039,298 in the first quarter of 2025 from $6,629,027 in the first quarter of 2024, due primarily to a decrease in corporate costs including stock compensation expense and legal and other professional fees. Amortization expense decreased by $150,000 to $559,375 in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to $709,375 in the same period of the prior year due to the write down of the technology intangible asset at HEC at December 31, 2024, resulting in lower amortization expense in the current year. There was not a fair value remeasurement related to the SUNation acquisition earnout consideration in the first quarter of 2025 compared to a gain of $350,000 in the same period of the prior year.
Consolidated other (expense) income decreased by $4,706,236 to expense of $1,314,469 in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to $3,391,767 in income in the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily related to a $3,728,593 decrease in the fair value remeasurement gain on the warrant liability, a $356,906 decrease in fair value remeasurement loss on the contingent value rights (“CVRs”), a $343,471 loss on debt extinguishment, and $576,594 in financing fees on the issuance of the contingent forward contract, partially offset by a $193,630 decrease in interest expense.
Consolidated operating loss in the first quarter of 2025 was $2,167,348 as compared to $2,182,954 in the first quarter of 2024. Net loss in the first quarter of 2025 was $3,496,432, or $(106.71) per diluted share, compared to net loss attributable to shareholders (after taking into effect $11,322,639 in deemed dividends) of $10,119,988, or $(38,414.84) per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2024.
SUNation Operating Results
SUNation revenue decreased 2% or $208,416, to $9,544,554 in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to $9,752,970 in first quarter of 2024. Revenue in the first quarters of 2025 and 2024 by type were as follows:

Residential contract revenue decreased $235,586, or 3%, despite a 5% increase in residential kilowatts installed and a 1% increase in average price per system installed, due to a 5% decrease in number of systems installed. Commercial contract revenue increased $278,695, or 28%, due timing of commercial projects where the prior year had some larger projects from 2024 carry into 2025 and there were delays in the prior year in the start of commercial pipeline projects into the second half of 2024. Service revenue decreased $251,525, or 40%, due to lower battery installations.
Gross profit decreased 7% to $3,672,582 in 2025 as compared to gross profit of $3,951,210 in 2024 due primarily to the decrease in revenue and additional decrease in gross margin. Gross margin decreased to 38.5% in 2025 compared to 40.5% in 2024 due primarily to lower commercial revenue gross margins due to higher unanticipated project costs on larger projects during the quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased slightly to $3,847,500 in 2025 (40% as a percentage of sales) as compared to $3,872,455 in 2024 (40% as a percentage of sales), due primarily to a decrease in personnel costs on lower headcount. Amortization expense remained flat at $203,125 in 2025 as compared to 2024.
HEC Operating Results
HEC sales decreased 11% or $374,143, to $3,092,084 in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to $3,466,227 in the first quarter of 2024. Sales in 2025 and 2024 by type were as follows:

| 238,348 |
| $ | 3,092,084 |
| $ | 3,466,227 |
Residential contract sales decreased $489,079, or 15%, due to a 34% decrease in battery capacity installed, which was partially offset by a 21% increase in kilowatts installed. In the first half of 2024, the Battery Bonus program in Hawaii ended. Under this program, customers were paid a cash incentive and provided energy bill credits to add energy storage to an existing or new rooftop solar system. Service revenue increased $114,936, or 48%, due to an increase in repair and replacement installations.
Gross profit decreased 11% to $758,743 in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to gross profit of $854,238 in the first quarter of 2024 due primarily to the decrease in revenue. Gross margin remained fairly flat at 24.5% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 24.6% in the first quarter of 2024.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 3% to $976,674 in the first quarter of 2025 (32% as a percentage of sales) as compared to $1,002,052 in the first quarter of 2024 (29% as a percentage of sales), due primarily to a decrease in commissions expense and gross excise taxes on lower revenue.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $1,740,230 in cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents. Of this amount, $370,986 was invested in short-term money market funds that are not considered to be bank deposits and are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other government agency. These money market funds seek to preserve the value of the investment at $1.00 per share; however, it is possible to lose money investing in these funds. The remainder in cash and cash equivalents is operating cash.
Of the amounts of cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet at March 31, 2025, $292,901 consisted of funds that can only be used to support the legacy CSI business, will be distributed to CVR holders and cannot be used to support the working capital needs of the SUNation Energy business.
The Company had working capital deficit of $(9,728,626) at March 31, 2025, consisting of current assets of $10,545,189 and current liabilities of $20,273,815 compared to working capital deficit of $(16,051,658) at December 31, 2024.
Cash used in operating activities was $3,403,349 in the first three months of 2025 as compared to $2,649,280 in the same period of 2024. The increase in negative cash flow from operations is primarily driven by the increase in the net loss and an increase in payments against accounts payable. Significant working capital changes in the three months ended March 31, 2025 included a decrease of accounts receivable of $953,150, a decrease in accounts payable of $1,518,440, a $443,775 decrease in customer deposits and a decrease in accrued interest of $1,098,801.
Net cash used in investing activities was $0 in the first three months of 2025 compared to $524 provided by investing activities in the same period of 2024. The Company did not have any capital expenditures or disposals during 2025.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,992,231 in the first three months of 2025 compared to $544,864 in the same period of 2024. Net cash provided by financing activities in the first three months of 2025 was due to $13,431,902 in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock under a registered direct offering and $351,371 in proceeds from the issuance of common stock under the at-the-market offering, partially offset by $9,401,939 in payments against loans payable and $389,104 in payments of contingent consideration. Net cash provided by financing activities in the first three
months of 2024 was due to $1,000,000 in proceeds from the issuance of common stock under a registered direct offering, partially offset by payments against loans payable.
In connection with the SUNation acquisition, on November 9, 2022, the Company issued a $5,486,000 Long-Term Promissory Note (the “Long-Term Note”). The Long-Term Note was unsecured and matured on November 9, 2025. It carried an annual interest rate of 4% until the first anniversary of issuance, then 8% thereafter until the Long-Term Note was paid in full. The Company was required to make a principal payment of $2.74 million on the second anniversary of the Long-Term Note. The Long-Term Note may be prepaid at our option at any time without penalty. On April 10, 2025, the Long-Term Note was amended and restated whereby the principal amount of $5,486,000 previously due and payable under the original Long-Term Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest owing thereunder, shall be due and payable on May 1, 2028, and such amended note shall become a senior secured instrument. Principal and interest payments under the amended Long-Term Note shall be payable monthly on the first day of each month commencing on June 1, 2025 for thirty-six consecutive months thereafter. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of that certain Senior Secured Contingent Note Instrument, entered into on April 10, 2025, the unearned 2024 earnout was rescheduled and shall be based on the earnout terms set forth therein pursuant to the financial conditions and terms covering each of fiscal years 2024 and 2025 and, if attained, shall be payable in fiscal year 2026, which payment is further conditioned on the continued employment of the note holders at the time of such earnout payment trigger date.
Based on the Company’s current financial position, which includes approximately $0.3 million of restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments that are restricted under the CVR agreement and cannot be used by the Company for its own working capital needs, and the Company’s forecasted future cash flows for twelve months beyond the date of issuance of these financial statements, substantial doubt exists around the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. As noted in Notes 6, 9 and 14, the Company raised capital and satisfied certain outstanding debt obligations during 2025, however there remains uncertainty related to our future cash flows as it relies on the ability to generate enough cash flow from its operating segments to cover the Company’s corporate overhead costs.
As a result, the Company requires additional funding and seeks to raise capital through sources that may include public or private equity offerings, debt financings and/or strategic alliances. On February 27, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors for the purchase and sale of an aggregate of $20.0 million in securities, with $15.0 million in gross proceeds in the first closing on February 27, 2025 and $5.0 million in gross proceeds in the second closing on April 7, 2025. While the Company was able to use the proceeds to pay off approximately $12.6 million in outstanding debt and contingent liability obligations, it was not sufficient to cover all of the Company’s current and future obligations. Additional funding may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds, it would have a negative impact on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. To the extent that additional funds are raised through the sale of equity or securities convertible into or exercisable for equity securities, the issuance of securities will result in dilution to the Company’s shareholders.
Contingent Value Rights and Impact on Cash
The Company issued CVRs prior to the Closing to CSI shareholders of record on the close of business on March 25, 2022. The CVR entitles the holder to a portion of the cash, cash equivalents, investments and net proceeds of any divestiture, assignment, or other disposition of all legacy assets of CSI and/or its legacy subsidiaries, JDL and Ecessa, that are related to CSI’s pre-merger business, assets, and properties that occur during the 24-month period following the Closing. The CVR liability as of March 31, 2025 was estimated at $292,901 and represented the estimated fair value as of that date of the legacy CSI assets to be distributed to CVR holders as of that date. This amount is recorded as a current liability that includes the remaining restricted cash and cash equivalents. The proceeds from CSI’s pre-merger business working capital and related long-term assets and liabilities are not available to fund the working capital needs of the post-merger company.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Generally, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions in accordance with GAAP that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences could be material to our financial position and results of operations. Critical accounting estimates are those that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. For additional information, please see the discussion of our critical accounting estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no changes to our critical accounting estimates as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, except as set forth below.
Contingent Forward Contract: On February 27, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement for the purchase and sale of securities in a registered direct offering with two closings (the “Offering”). The first closing occurred on February 27 2025. The second closing, which occurred on April 7, 2025, represents a firm commitment and a contingent forward contract to issue and sell additional shares of common stock or Pre-Funded Warrants and Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants upon the receipt of approval by the Company’s stockholders to approve the issuance of the Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and the shares of common stock underlying such warrants as of March 31, 2025. The Company determined that the contingent forward contract is a freestanding financial instrument that does not meet the requirements for equity classification due to certain settlement provisions that fail the indexation guidance in ASC 815-40 and meets the definition of a derivative. As a result, the contingent forward contract was recorded as a liability initially at its fair value on the date of issuance and will be subsequently remeasured to fair value on each balance sheet date until the underlying instruments are issued and sold in the second closing of the Offering. The Company also incurred placement agent fees and other offering expenses as a result of the Offering. These expenses were allocated consistently with how the Offering proceeds were allocated to the financial instruments with the expenses allocated to the contingent forward contract recorded within Other (expense) income within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management, with the participation of the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described below.
Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “Framework”). Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2024, due to material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting due to our limited accounting and finance resources, which resulted in inappropriate preparation, review and maintenance of documentation and information that is critical to the design and consistent execution of internal controls. These material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Remediation Plan
To address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, the Company is in the process of formalizing a remediation plan that will address our limited resources and also includes implementing a new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system which provides the necessary control environment to help mitigate the potential for misstatements in financial reporting, including but not limited to segregation of duties, user permission and access controls, and automated processes. While we believe that these efforts will improve our internal control over financial reporting, the design and implementation of our remediation is ongoing and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over a sustained period of time. We will not be able to conclude whether the steps we are taking will fully remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting until we have completed our remediation efforts and subsequent evaluation of their effectiveness. Until these weaknesses are remediated, we plan to continue to perform additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Inherent Limitations on Control Systems
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be or have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can by faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.
There have been no material changes in the risk factors disclosed in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2025, other than as set forth below.
Our shares will be subject to potential delisting if we do not maintain the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market.
The shares of our common stock are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq. Nasdaq has rules for continued listing, including, without limitation, minimum market capitalization and other requirements. Failure to maintain our listing, or de-listing from Nasdaq, would make it more difficult for shareholders to dispose of our common stock and more difficult to obtain accurate price quotations on our common stock. This could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock. Our ability to issue additional securities for financing or other purposes, or otherwise to arrange for any financing we may need in the future, may also be materially and adversely affected if our common stock is not traded on a national securities exchange.
On April 11, 2025, we received a new non-compliance notice notifying the Company that, for the 30 consecutive business day period immediately preceding deficiency letter, the Company’s common stock had not maintained a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) and, as a result, does not comply with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”). Normally, a company would be afforded a 180-calendar day period (“Cure Period”) to demonstrate compliance with such deficiency; however, pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), the Company is not eligible for a customary Cure Period specified in Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) due to the fact that the Company has effected a reverse stock split over the prior one-year period or has effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one..
Instead, the Company is offered an opportunity to appeal any deficiency related to a delisting determination to Nasdaq by seven days from receipt of the April 2025 non-compliance notice. Following receipt of the April 2025 deficiency notice, to address the minimum price bid deficiency, the stockholders of the Company had approved a share consolidation on April 3, 2025 that has been effectuated within the discretion of the board of directors of the Company, and the Company timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearing Panel. The hearing request automatically stayed any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period, if granted by the Panel, following the hearing.
Subsequent thereto, the Company has received an additional written notice from the Staff on May 13, 2025, regarding its further determination to delist the Company’s securities pursuant to its discretionary authority under Listing Rule 5101 based on public interest concerns related to the Company’s recent securities offering announced on February 27, 2025, which it determined involved the issuance of deeply discounted securities. The Company has received a Hearing Panel date, and intends to continue with the hearing panel process and does not expect to be mooted out of it based on this additional delisting compliance notice. Notwithstanding the Company’s having maintained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price requirements for nineteen (19) consecutive days as of the date of this quarterly report (in relation to the April 2025 non-compliance notice), the Hearing Panel may take into consideration in reaching its ultimate decision the Staff determination of May 13, 2025. There can be no assurance that the Hearing Panel will grant the Company an additional extension period or that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, the failure of which would result in a delisting of the Company’s common stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market.
