Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Nature of Business and Liquidity
Organization
Crown Electrokinetics Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 20, 2015.
The Company's "Smart Windows" division commercializing technology for smart or dynamic glass. The Company’s electrokinetic glass technology is an advancement on microfluidic technology that was originally developed by HP Inc.
On December 20, 2022, the Company incorporated Crown Fiber Optics Corp., a Delaware-based corporation, to own and operate its acquired business from the acquisition of Amerigen 7, LLC (“Amerigen 7”) in January 2023. Crown Fiber Optics Corp. is accounted for as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crown Electrokinetics, Corp. The Crown Fiber Optics Corp. entity includes both the “Fiber Optics” division, which provides contracting services to the fiber optics and telecommunications infrastructure industry, and the “Slant Well” group, which focuses on the construction of slant wells for the provision of ocean water to desalination plants.
On July 26, 2024, the Company incorporated Element 82 Inc. ("Element 82"), a Delaware-based corporation, to enhance its portfolio with expertise in lead remediation.
On July 26, 2024, the Company incorporated PE Pipelines Inc., a Delaware-based corporation, to expand its portfolio in lead service line replacement and related water infrastructure projects.
On July 26, 2024, the Company incorporated Paramount Network Construction Inc., a Delaware-based corporation, to expand its portfolio in network construction and related infrastructure projects. This strategic incorporation strengthens the Company's capabilities and expertise within the critical telecommunications and public utility sectors.
Reverse Stock Split
On June 14, 2024, the Company’s board of directors authorized a reverse stock split (“June 2024 Reverse Stock Split”) at an exchange ratio of one-for-150 basis. The June 2024 Reverse Stock Split was effective on June 25, 2024, such that every 150 shares of common stock were automatically converted into one share of common stock. The Company did not issue fractional certificates for post-reverse split common stock shares in connection with the June 2024 Reverse Stock Split. Rather, all shares of common stock that were held by a common stockholder were aggregated and each common stockholder was entitled to receive the number of whole common stock shares resulting from the combination of the aggregated common stock shares. Any fractions resulting from the reverse split computation were rounded up to the next whole common stock share amount.
The number of authorized shares and the par value of the common stock was not adjusted. In connection with the June 2024 Reverse Stock Split, the conversion ratio for the Company’s outstanding convertible preferred stock was proportionately adjusted such that the common stock issuable upon conversion of such preferred stock was decreased in proportion. All references to common stock and options to purchase common stock share data, per share data and related information contained in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the June 2024 Reverse Stock Split.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company has incurred substantial operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception, expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. As reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had cash of approximately $3.1 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $132.5 million as of September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company has a net loss of approximately $15.5 million, and approximately $11.8 million of net cash used in operating activities.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
9





The Company has obtained additional capital through the sale of debt or equity financings or other arrangements to fund operations including through its existing at-the-market offering; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise needed capital under acceptable terms, if at all. The sale of additional equity may dilute existing stockholders and newly issued shares may contain senior rights and preferences compared to currently outstanding shares of common stock. Issued debt securities may contain covenants and limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to stockholders. If the Company is unable to obtain such additional financing, future operations would need to be scaled back or discontinued. Due to the uncertainty in the Company’s ability to raise capital, management believes that there is substantial doubt in the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions among consolidated entities were eliminated upon consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information can be condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the assumption that users of the interim financial information have read or have access to the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024 (the "2023 Form 10-K").
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial information. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year, or for any other future annual or interim period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Accounting estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially and adversely from these estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include, but not limited to, cost-to-cost (input) revenue recognition method, fair value of warrant issuances, provision for expected credit losses, useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation and operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 for consistency with the presentation of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. There was no effect on the Company's financial position or stockholders' equity as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 or the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is currently operating in a period of economic uncertainty and capital markets disruption, which has been significantly impacted by geopolitical instability due to the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as well as Israel and Hamas. The Company’s financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by any negative impact on the global economy and capital markets resulting from the conflict in Ukraine or any other geopolitical tensions.
10





The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Reference is made to Note 3 Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies in the 2023 Form 10-K filed for a detailed description of significant accounting policies. There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies as disclosed in the 2023 Form 10-K.
Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue primarily through the four revenue streams described below which together, represent four operating segments; the Fiber Optics division, the Slant Wells group, Element 82, and the Smart Windows division. The Slant Wells group and Element 82, while reported as separate operating segments, are part of the Company's newly formed "Water Solutions" division.
The Fiber Optics division's specialty services are performed for communications providers in connection with the deployment of underground fiber optic transmission lines and include the upfront procurement of specialized equipment that will be used to provide the services.
The Slant Wells group's specialty services involves the construction of “slant wells” providing water for desalination plants and include the upfront procurement of specialized equipment that will be used to provide the services.
Element 82 helps water utility companies meet all Environmental Protection Agency compliance requirements by identifying lead pipes in residential, commercial and municipal water line systems. Their specialty services include the upfront procurement of specialized equipment that will be used to provide the services.
The Smart Windows division produces, sells and installs products referred to as the Smart Window Inserts, using DynamicTint Electrokinetic Technology that allows windows to tint and transition from clear to true black.
Together, these revenue sources support the Company’s diversified income model across its core operating segments.
The Company recognizes revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for promised goods or services. The Company applies the following five-step revenue recognition model in accounting for its revenue arrangements:

Identification of the contract with the customer;

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

Determination of the transaction price;

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company has elected the practical expedient to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the time between the goods or service being transferred to the customer and the customer pays is one year or less.

Fiber Optics Division Revenue Recognition

The nature of the Company’s Fiber Optics division's performance in its agreements is to customize outputs by constructing infrastructure that is customer specific. The Company is required to adhere to the rules and regulations that are outlined in an agreement between the Company and the customer. As a result, the Fiber Optic division's contracts prevent the Company from directing the use of such output to any other entity except the specific customer. The customer is the only party that can benefit from the output that results from the Company’s performance of specialty services under the contract.
11





As such, the Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and the Company has concluded that the specialty services are recognized over time.

In accordance with ASC 606, the Company meets the criteria for recognizing revenue over time because it maintains an enforceable right to bill the customer for performance completed to date as the services are rendered. This right to bill is consistent with the Company's obligation to provide continuous access to the project, reflecting progress toward completion that is aligned with customer specifications.

To measure the progress of completion, the Company uses a cost-to-cost (input) method, by comparing costs incurred to date relative to the total expected costs to satisfy the performance obligation. When applying this method, the Company excludes the effects of any costs that do not depict its performance in transferring control of goods or services to the customer. Additionally, the Company notes that the procurement performance obligation is not considered distinct and is therefore combined with other specialty services as part of a single performance obligation.

Slant Wells Group Revenue Recognition

The nature of the Company’s Slant Wells group's performance in its agreements is to customize output by constructing slant wells that are customer specific. The Company is required to adhere to the rules and regulations that are outlined in an agreement between the Company and the customer. As a result, the slant well contracts prevent the Company from directing the use of such output to any other entity except the specific customer. The customer is the only party that can benefit from the output that results from the Company’s performance of the services under the contract. As such, the Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and the Company has concluded that the services are recognized over time.

The Company maintains an enforceable right to bill the customer for performance completed to date. This right to bill reflects the progress toward fulfilling the contract and confirms that the Company’s services are being rendered continuously, with the customer receiving benefits from the ongoing completion of the customized slant well.

To measure the progress of completion, the Company uses a cost-to-cost (input) method, by comparing costs incurred to date relative to the total expected costs to satisfy the performance obligation. The Company notes that when applying this method, it excludes the effects of any costs that do not depict its performance in transferring control of goods or services to the customer.

Element 82 Revenue Recognition

The Company performs water service line lead pipe inspection and investigation services at customer locations pursuant to the contracts. These fulfillment services which constitute a series of distinct performance obligations recognized over time, culminate in comprehensive lead pipe inspection reports which the Company is required to provide to its customers. Revenue is recognized as units are delivered (output method), reflecting the delivery of inspection report units as a percentage of the total units agreed upon in each contract.

The Company procures equipment essential for fulfilling these services. The costs associated with equipment procurement are capitalized when they meet the criteria for capitalization and are amortized over the period in which the related performance obligations are satisfied.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, capitalized costs related to equipment procurement were considered insignificant.

Smart Windows Division Revenue Recognition

The Company’s Smart Windows division has not entered into any material revenue contracts with its customers and no revenue was recognized for this operating segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Retention Receivables
The Company’s Fiber Optics customers have a contractual right to withhold payment of a retainage amount that typically ranges between 5% to 10% of the total contract consideration. The retainage can be utilized by customers for any claims that may arise after work is completed through one year after project completion. The retainage amount is expected to be
12





collected upon the project's completion and acceptance by the customer. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has recorded a retainage receivable of $0.3 million and zero, respectively, which is a component of the accounts and retention receivables balance in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Contract Assets
The Company records contract assets for revenue recognized in excess of billings, representing amounts due from customers where revenue has been recognized based on the satisfaction of performance obligations but for which billing has not yet occurred. Contract assets, including unbilled receivables, are recorded when the Company has an unconditional right to payment, and are subsequently reclassified to accounts receivable when the right to bill the customer arises.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company's contract assets included unbilled receivables totaling $0.3 million, compared to zero as of December 31, 2023.
The following table provides a rollforward of the contract assets activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2024:
Balance as of January 1, 2024$ 
Revenue recognized prior to billings1,109 
Billings(854)
Balance as of September 30, 2024$255 
Deferred Revenue and Contract Liabilities
The Company records deferred revenue as contract liabilities when it receives payments from customers in advance of performing the contracted services or delivering goods. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue in the period when the services are performed or the goods are delivered, satisfying the Company's obligations under the contract terms.
For Fiber Optics and Slant Well projects, the Company recognizes revenue on a percentage-of-completion basis, based on the proportion of costs incurred to total estimated costs. For Element 82, the Company recognizes revenue on a percentage-of-completion basis, based on the proportion of units delivered to total units in the contract. In instances where significant judgments are required to estimate completion, management reviews and adjusts deferred revenue balances periodically to reflect performance progress accurately.
In instances where anticipated costs to complete a contract are expected to exceed the contract’s total revenue, the Company recognizes an estimated loss on the contract. This estimated loss is accrued as a liability and recognized in full in the period the loss is identified, ensuring the contract assets and liabilities accurately represent the Company’s financial position.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the contract liabilities were $0.2 million and zero, respectively.
The following table provides a rollforward of the contract liabilities activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2024:
Balance as of January 1, 2024$ 
Billings1,260 
Revenue recognized(1,020)
Balance as of September 30, 2024$240 
Revisions in Estimates

Profit recognition related to the Fiber Optics division and Slant Wells group’s contracts is based on estimates of transaction price and costs to complete each project. These estimates can vary significantly in the normal course of business as projects progress, circumstances develop and evolve, and uncertainties are resolved. Changes in estimates of transaction price and costs to complete may result in the reversal of previously recognized revenue if the current estimate adversely differs from the previous estimate.

13





When there are significant revisions in these estimates, the Company’s management reviews the nature of the changes to ensure that there are no material amounts that should have been recorded in a prior period rather than as revisions in estimates for the current period. For revisions in estimates, generally the cumulative catch-up method is used for changes to the transaction price that are part of a single performance obligation. Under this method, revisions in estimates are accounted for in their entirety in the period of change.
Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectibility of its customer accounts and retention receivables and contract assets, all of which fall within the scope of ASC 326.

The Company reviews the provision for credit losses by considering certain factors such as historical experience, industry data, credit quality, age of balances and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. Uncollectible accounts and retention receivables and contract assets are written off when all efforts to collect have been exhausted and recoveries are recognized when they are recovered. The Company’s provision for credit losses was zero as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Concentrations of Risk and Significant Customers
The Company maintains its cash accounts with financial institutions, ensuring all deposits remain fully protected by utilizing ICS/Sweep accounts. As a result, no cash balances exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits, providing complete coverage and safeguarding the Company's funds through September 30, 2024.

The Company’s customers are generally large public or private companies with good credit and payment practices and a positive reputation in the industry at the time that the contracts are entered into. Furthermore, because it has the ability to stop transferring promised goods and services if payment is not received, the Company has concluded that collection risk is minimal.

Three customers accounted for 91% of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2024. Accounts receivable were not significant as of December 31, 2023.

The Company’s revenue is generated from its Fiber Optics, Slant Wells, and Element 82 segments. Three customers accounted for approximately 95% and 84% of the total revenue generated for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Revenue was not significant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s vendor purchases primarily included costs associated with professional fees, subcontractor labor, equipment purchases and leases, and purchases of other supplies and materials. Any disruptions in the Company’s vendor relationships could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Reportable Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is determined to be the CODM.

The Company has four operating segments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, including the Smart Windows division, the Fiber Optics division, the Slant Wells group and Element 82. The Company has four reportable segments, the Smart Windows division, the Fiber Optics division, the Slant Wells group, and Element 82.

Revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 relates to the Fiber Optics division, the Slant Wells group and Element 82.
Deferred Debt Issuance Costs
The Company accounts for debt issuance costs related to its line of credit and equity line of credit as a deferred asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, which is amortized over the life of the line of credit and equity line of credit. Since the Company has elected the fair value option for its convertible notes, upon a draw down, a portion of the deferred asset
14





balance will be amortized and recognized as other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Warrants

The Company estimates the fair value of certain common stock warrants issued both before and after June 30, 2024, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, including the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price, the expected term of the warrants, the risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends.

Common Stock Warrants Issued Before June 30, 2024:

These warrants are classified as liabilities as their settlement terms preclude equity classification. The warrants were recorded at fair value upon issuance and are subsequently remeasured at fair value at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value recognized within other income (expense), net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The change in fair value of warrant liabilities for both the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were zero. The change in fair value of warrant liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were zero and $0.5 million, respectively. The fair value of warrant liabilities were insignificant as of both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Common Stock Warrants Issued After June 30, 2024:

Warrants issued after June 30, 2024 have been classified within stockholders' equity as they meet the criteria for equity classification. Specifically, these warrants are indexed to the Company’s common stock and do not contain settlement provisions that would preclude them from equity classification. Upon issuance, the fair value of these equity-classified warrants was recorded in additional paid-in capital with no subsequent remeasurement required.

Valuation Assumptions for Black-Scholes Model:

The following key assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes model to estimate fair value:

Volatility: Based on historical volatility of comparable companies

Expected Term: Estimated based on the contractual term of the warrants

Risk-Free Interest Rate: Based on U.S. Treasury yields at the time of issuance

Dividend Yield: Assumed to be zero, as the Company does not expect to pay dividends

Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed using the sum of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and the effect of dilutive securities.
As the Company was in a net loss position for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders because the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive.
15





Securities that could potentially dilute loss per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as of September 30, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

The amount available under this ELOC as of September 30, 2024 was approximately $30 million.
Equity Line of Credit - Liqueous, LP

On August 31, 2024 (the 'Execution Date"), the Company entered into a new ELOC with Liqueous, LP ("Liqueous"). The Company may sell up to an aggregate of $100 million in newly issued shares (the "Liqueous ELOC Shares") of its common stock during the Commitment Period. The Commitment Period in the agreement is defined as the period beginning on August 31, 2024 and ending either when the Company has sold shares up to $100 million or on the second anniversary of the Execution Date, whichever comes first.

Prior to August 31, 2024, stockholder approval was obtained to allow the Company the flexibility to issue more than 20% of its outstanding common stock, in connection with financing arrangements, including but not limited to the ELOC, on June 14, 2024. This approval provides the Company with the ability to issue shares in excess of this threshold under the ELOC or any additional financing arrangement that may require it.

The purchase price of the Liqueous ELOC Shares will be 97.0% of the lowest daily volume weighted-average price ("VWAP") of the Company's common stock during a 2-day valuation period following the applicable purchase date. There is no upper limit on the price per share that the Liqueous ELOC Purchaser could be obligated to pay for the Liqueous ELOC Shares under the agreement.
The Company's ELOC agreements contain put option features that allows the Company to sell shares of its common stock to the Keystone or Liqueous at specified discounts to the prevailing market price. These put options are classified as derivatives under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. After a thorough assessment of the put option’s fair value, the Company has determined them to be insignificant. As a result, these derivatives have not been recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to monitor the fair value of the put option in subsequent reporting periods and will recognize them in the condensed consolidated financial statements if their fair values become material.
Preferred Stock Conversions
On May 2024, the Company executed a Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of its Series A, Series B, and Series C preferred stock (collectively, the “May 2024 COD”) following the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors and the requisite numbers of Series A, Series B, and Series C preferred stockholders (collectively, the “Senior Preferred Stock”). Under the May 2024 COD, the Company revised the conversion price of its Senior Preferred Stock to $0.0462 to incentivize the holders to convert their shares into the Company’s common stock. The following table summarizes the number of common stock shares issued upon the conversion of the Senior Preferred Stock:
Series of Preferred StockNumber of Preferred Stock Shares ConvertedNumber of Common Stock Shares Issued Upon Conversion
Series A25136,220
Series B1,443220,782
Series C500,75678,056
Total502,450335,058
The Company concluded that the conversion was an induced conversion and the fair value for the inducement was recognized as a deemed dividend. Due to the fact that the Company does not have any retained earnings, the Company recorded the corresponding entries to additional paid-in capital and the debit/credit had a net nil impact on stockholders’ equity during the period ended September 30, 2024.
On May 2024, the holders of Series F, F-1, and F-2 exercised their option to convert the shares into common stock utilizing the Alternate Conversion (defined below) feature. As part of the original terms of the Series F, the shares may be converted to common stock based on the Alternate Conversion Price (defined below) that is lower than the original conversion price of $0.1478 per share (“Alternate Conversion”) if certain events were to occur (“Triggering Event”). The Triggering Events that occurred that enabled an Alternate Conversion is the (i) failure of the applicable registration statement to be filed with the SEC on or prior to the date that is five (5) days after the applicable filing deadline, and (ii) failure to pay dividends. The
21


Alternate Conversion Price is the lowest of (i) the conversion price in effect on the conversion date of the applicable Alternate Conversion, (ii) the greater of (x) the floor price of $0.1478, and (y) 80% of the VWAP of the common stock on the trading day preceding delivery day of the conversion notice, (iii) 80% of the VWAP of common stock as of the trading day of the conversion notice delivery day, and (iv) the greater of (x) the floor price of $0.1478, and (y) 80% of the price of the quotient (I) sum of three lowest days of common stock VWAP over 15 days, divided by (II) three. The following table summarizes the number of shares of common stock issued upon the conversion:
Series of Preferred StockNumber of Preferred Stock Shares ConvertedNumber of Common Stock Shares Issued through ConversionNumber of Common Stock Shares Issued for Deemed Dividend in Connection with Conversion
Series F4,448648,44138,799
Series F-1653113,576
Series F-21,153140,26410,990
Total6,254902,28149,789
The Series F, F-1, and F-2 preferred stock were converted to common stock based on the triggering of the Alternative Conversion provisions. As such, the carrying value of the Series F, F-1, and F-2 preferred stock were derecognized. Additionally, the issued shares of common stock from the Series F conversion were recognized at par value and the triggered Alternative Conversion recognized as a deemed dividend. The Company recorded the corresponding entries to additional paid-in capital and the debit/credit had a net nil impact on stockholders’ equity during the period ended September 30, 2024.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a reclassification adjustment of approximately $10,000 to additional paid-in capital and common stock par value related to the Senior Preferred Stock and Series F, F-1, and F-2 conversions.

Note 9 – Leases
Leases Under the Smart Windows Division
The Smart Windows division operating segment leases and subleases various office and laboratory spaces under non-cancelable operating leases with various expiration dates through fiscal 2027, certain of which contain renewal provisions. These renewal provisions are not reasonably certain to be exercised and therefore are not factored into the determination of lease payments. The Smart Windows division operating segment has no lease agreements that are classified as finance leases.
In March 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Hudson 11601 Wilshire, LLC, to lease 3,500 square feet of office space located in Los Angeles, California. The lease term is 39 months and expires on June 30, 2024. In April 2024, the Company entered into the first amendment for the Hudson lease to revise the payment schedule for the remaining lease term expiring on June 30, 2024. Subsequently, the Company entered into the second amendment in June 2024 to extend the lease term. The second amended lease expires in September 2027. The Company recorded a right-of-use asset of approximately $0.6 million and lease liabilities of approximately $0.6 million related to the first and second amended lease agreements.
Leases Under the Fiber Optics Group
The Fiber Optics group leases various offices, storage spaces, and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. These leases have expiration dates through fiscal 2026. Certain leases include renewal options; however, these renewal options are not considered reasonably certain to be exercised and are therefore excluded from the calculation of lease payments. The Fiber Optics group does not have any lease agreements classified as finance leases.
In August 2024, the Company entered into a month-to-month lease agreement with PWR LLC to sublease a portion of it's Burnham Lease located at 12627 S 182nd Pl, Gilbert, Arizona. The sublease agreement is set on a rolling 30-day renewal basis, allowing either party to terminate the agreement with a 30-day notice. The Company recorded $7,900 in other income for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease practical expedient in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. Under this guidance, the Company has chosen not to recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Instead, lease payments for these short-term leases are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is also involved in various other claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these actions will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.
Future litigation may be necessary to defend ourselves and our partners by determining the scope, enforceability and validity of third party proprietary rights or to establish the Company’s proprietary rights. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Loan Guaranty
In May 2024, the Company entered into a Corporate Guaranty agreement (the “Guaranty”) with Mobilization Funding, LLC (“Mobilization”) and borrowed approximately $0.6 million as part of the Mobilization Note II LOC discussed in Note 5. As part of the Guaranty, the Company agreed to be the primary obligor for the Fiber Optics division segment and be responsible for the repayment of all principal and interest borrowed under the Guaranty. As of September 30, 2024, all amounts under the Mobilization Note II LOC had been repaid, terminating the Guaranty.

Note 11 – Segment Reporting

The Company operates in four segments: the Smart Windows division, the Fiber Optics division, Slant Wells group and Element 82.

Smart Windows Division: This division focuses on developing and selling optical switching films that can be embedded between sheets of glass or applied to the surface of glass or other rigid substrates like acrylic, to electronically control opacity. The technology, initially developed by Hewlett-Packard, enables a transition between clear and dark states in seconds. It is aimed at various applications including commercial buildings, automotive sunroofs, and residential windows. The Company partners with leading glass and film manufacturers for the mass production and distribution of its DynamicTint product. This segment also includes Smart Window Inserts, designed for retrofitting in commercial and residential settings, offering dynamic tinting along with additional insulation and soundproofing.

Fiber Optics Division: The Company's involvement in fiber optics is relatively recent, marked by the acquisition of Amerigen 7's assets, which was focused on the construction of 5G fiber optics infrastructure. The Fiber Optics division provides contracting services to the fiber optics and telecommunications infrastructure industry. Services range from program management and engineering to the construction of aerial and underground fiber networks. This division aims to capitalize on the demand for enhanced telecommunications bandwidth, with efforts to expand through selective market share increase, potential acquisitions, and leveraging new equipment like micro trenchers to gain a strategic advantage.

Slant Wells Group: This division focuses on the construction of slant wells for the provision of ocean water to desalination plants that in turn produces fresh water to the planned development sites.

Element 82: Element 82 is a water pipeline inspection service provider focused on lead detection and condition assessment. Element 82 plays a vital role in lead testing and prevention, working closely with health departments to address lead exposure risks, especially among children.

Note 12 – Subsequent Events

From October 10, 2024 through November 14, 2024, the Company issued and sold under the at-the-market offering a total of 1,463,800 shares, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $1.9 million. After accounting for commissions and expenses totaling $56,000, net proceeds from these sales amounted to approximately $1.8 million. These shares were issued at a weighted-average price of $1.28 per share.

On October 15, 2024, the Company amended its prospectus supplement, initially dated March 30, 2022, to increase the maximum aggregate offering price of its common stock available for sale through its sales agent, Alliance Global Partners ("A.G.P"), under the existing Sales Agreement. This amendment permits the Company to offer and sell additional shares, and raises the total maximum aggregate offering price to $63 million, of which approximately $13 million in gross proceeds has already been realized. Additionally, the amendment includes the registration of an extra $50 million in common stock for issuance through A.G.P., per the terms of the Sales Agreement.

On October 15, 2024, the Company filed a registration statement to resell up to 20,000,000 shares of common stock by Liqueous, LP in connection with its ELOC pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 31, 2024.

From October 1, 2024 through October 28, 2024, the Company drew upon its ELOC and issued 1,187,971 shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $0.91 per share, which resulted in net proceeds of approximately $1.0 million after commissions, fees, and offering costs of $32,000.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this report. All references to "we", "us", "our", "Crown" or the "Company" refer to Crown Electrokinetics Corp.
As an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, we can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We are electing to delay our adoption of such new or revised accounting standards. As a result of this election, our condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to the condensed financial statements of other public companies.
Overview
Crown Electrokinetics Corp. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 20, 2015, originally under the name 3D Nanocolor Corp. On October 6, 2017, we changed our name to Crown Electrokinetics Corp. to reflect our focus on pioneering electrokinetic technology which is the core of our Smart Windows division, revolves around the commercialization of smart or dynamic glass solutions. Our proprietary electrokinetic glass technology, which is an innovation derived from microfluidic advancements originally developed by HP Inc., offers groundbreaking applications for energy-efficient smart windows in various sectors.

In addition to the Smart Windows division, the Company has strategically diversified its operations with the creation of the Fiber Optics division and Water Solutions division, which includes Element 82 and the Slant Wells groups. The Fiber Optics division was established following the acquisition of Amerigen 7 assets, which focused on 5G fiber optics infrastructure. Through Crown Fiber Optics Corp. ("Crown Fiber Optics") we offer contracting services for the design, engineering, and construction of both aerial and underground fiber optic networks. As demand for higher telecommunications bandwidth continues to surge, this division aims to expand through selective market share growth, potential acquisitions, and the use of cutting-edge equipment such as micro trenchers to enhance efficiency and service delivery.

Our Water Solutions division includes the Slant Wells group and Element 82, a wholly-owned subsidiary specializing in lead detection and remediation. The Slant Wells group specializes in the construction of slant wells for the provision of ocean water to desalination plants that in turn provide fresh water to the planned development sites.

Our expansion further includes the integration of Paramount Network Construction Inc. ("Paramount") and PE Pipelines Inc. ("PE Pipelines") each a wholly-owned subsidiary contributing specialized expertise in essential infrastructure projects.

Paramount incorporated in 2024, focuses on network construction, providing robust solutions to expand our telecommunications and data infrastructure capabilities and will be reported through the Fiber Optics division.

PE Pipelines will be reported through our Water Solutions division and brings a dedicated focus on water infrastructure, particularly in lead service line replacement. Established in 2024, PE Pipelines partners with municipal water authorities to ensure safe and modernized water systems, especially in communities impacted by outdated piping systems.

Together, the Company's Smart Windows, Fiber Optics, and Water Solutions divisions create a multifaceted business positioned to deliver innovative solutions across multiple industries.
Reverse Stock Split

On June 14, 2024, our board of directors authorized a reverse stock split (“June 2024 Reverse Stock Split”) at an exchange ratio of one-for-150 basis. The June 2024 Reverse Stock Split was effective on June 25, 2024, such that every 150 shares of common stock were automatically converted into one share of common stock. We did not issue fractional certificates for post-reverse split common stock shares in connection with the June 2024 Reverse Stock Split. All shares of common stock that were held by a common stockholder were aggregated and each common stockholder was entitled to receive the number
34


of whole common stock shares resulting from the combination of the aggregated common stock shares. Any fractions resulting the reverse split computation were rounded up to the next whole common stock share amount.

The number of authorized shares and the par value of the common stock was not adjusted. In connection with the June 2024 Reverse Stock Split, the conversion ratio for our outstanding convertible preferred stock was proportionately adjusted such that the common stock issuable upon conversion of such preferred stock was decreased in proportion. All references to common stock and options to purchase common stock share data, per share data and related information contained in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the June 2024 Reverse Stock Split.

Preferred Stock Conversions

In May 2024, the Company executed amendments to the conversion terms of its Series A, Series B, and Series C preferred stock to incentivize conversion into common stock, resulting in an induced conversion that was recognized as a deemed dividend. In addition, holders of Series F, F-1, and F-2 preferred stock exercised an Alternate Conversion option due to specific triggering events, such as missed registration and dividend payments, which allowed conversion at an alternate price. These conversions led to a reclassification adjustment to additional paid-in capital, with no net impact on stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2024.

Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue is generated by the Fiber Optics division, Slant Wells group, and Element 82 and was $6.6 million and zero for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 and $12.4 million and $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
36


The increase in cost of revenue of $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, is primarily due to increases in subcontractor labor of $3.8 million, equipment rental cost and depreciation of $1.4 million and other costs related to supplies, insurance, materials and maintenance of $1.0 million and compensation and benefits costs of $0.4 million.
The increase in cost of revenue of $12.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, is primarily due to increases in subcontractor labor of $7.0 million, equipment rental cost and depreciation of $2.8 million, compensation and benefit costs of $1.4 million, other costs related to supplies, materials and maintenance of $0.6 million and insurance of $0.4 million.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase of $0.2 million is primarily related to an increase in salaries and benefits.

Research and development expenses were $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase of $0.4 million is primarily related to an increase in salaries and benefits.

General and Administrative

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $6.5 million and $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The $3.6 million increase in G&A expenses is primarily due increases in stock compensation expense of $2.1 million, compensation and benefits related to wages of $0.8 million, professional fees of $0.4 million, rent expense of $0.2 million and other expenses of $0.1 million.

G&A expenses were $13.4 million and $10.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The $2.5 million increase in G&A expenses is primarily due to increases in stock compensation expense of $4.2 million and other expenses of $0.1 million offset by reductions in professional fees $1.1 million, disposal of assets of $0.4 million, and compensation and benefits related to wages of $0.3 million.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was zero and $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease of $2.4 million is primarily related to no amortization of deferred debt issuance costs recorded for the Company's standby letter of credit ("SLOC") due it being used up and a decrease in amortization of the deferred debt issuance costs related to the Company's equity line of credit ("ELOC").

Interest expense was $1.0 million and $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease of $6.0 million is primarily related to no amortization of deferred debt issuance cost recorded for the Company's SLOC due it being used up and a decrease in amortization of the deferred debt issuance cost related to the Company's ELOC.

Loss on Extinguishment of Warrant Liability

There was no loss on extinguishment of warrant liability for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

The loss on extinguishment of warrant liability was zero and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The loss on extinguishment of warrant liability of $0.5 million is related to a warrant inducement and exercise agreement with certain holders in connection with the previously outstanding convertible notes issued in fiscal year 2022.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

There was no loss on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Loss on extinguishment of debt was zero and $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease is primarily related to repayments of all debt related to our SLOC. The prior period amount of
37


$2.3 million related to costs incurred during the early repayment, restructuring, and refinancing of debt tied to the Company's SLOC.


Gain on Issuance of Convertible Notes

There was no gain on issuance of convertible notes for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Gain on issuance of convertible notes was zero and $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The decrease is primarily related to repayments of all debt related to our SLOC. The prior period gain of $0.1 million resulted from excess of the fair value of the convertible notes over their issuance costs.

Change in Fair Value of Warrants

Change in fair value of warrants was zero and $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to a significant decrease in the value for the warrant liability in the prior period while the value of the warrant liability remained flat in the current period.

Change in fair value of warrants was zero and $10.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to change in fair value of warrants that were recorded in prior quarter and none for the current quarter.

Change in Fair Value of Notes Payable

The change in fair value of notes payable was zero and $40,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The $40,000 recorded in the prior period was related the fair value gain from the remeasurement on our convertible notes.

The change in fair value of notes payable was zero and $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The $7.0 million reduction was due to the settlement, conversion, and extinguishment of notes in 2023, resulting in a lower balance of outstanding notes payable during the year ended December 31, 2023, which subsequently required revaluation.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability

Change in fair value of derivative liability was zero and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease was related to full settlement of the Company's derivatives during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Change in fair value of derivative liability was zero and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease was related to full settlement of the Company's derivatives during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Other Expense, net

Other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $0.1 million compared to $30,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is due to cancellation of warrants in exchange for common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $0.1 million compared to $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily related to the amortization of the deferred debt issuance costs related to our LOC. The decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to maturity and expiration of our LOC during the current period.

As of September 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $132.5 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we had a net loss of $15.5 million and used approximately $11.8 million in net cash in operating activities. We expect to continue to incur ongoing administrative and other expenses, including public company expenses.

Equity Lines of Credit

In the first half of 2024, the Company received net proceeds on sales of 1,740,027 shares of common stock of approximately $10.7 million, after deducting commissions and expenses of $0.8 million, at a weighted-average price of $6.93 per share.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company received net proceeds on sales of 1,493,000 shares of common stock of approximately $3.6 million, after deducting commissions and expenses of $0.1 million, at a weighted-average price of $2.42 per share.

At-the-Market Offering
In the first half of 2024, the Company received net proceeds on sales of 32,163 shares of common stock under the at-the-market offering of approximately $0.6 million after deducting $28,000 in commissions and expenses. The weighted-average price of the common stock was $19.11 per share.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company received net proceeds on sales of 980,294 shares of common stock under the at-the-market offering of approximately $1.2 million after deducting $37,000 in commissions and expenses. The weighted-average price of the common stock was $1.24 per share.

We have obtained additional capital through the sale of debt or equity financings or other arrangements including through our existing at-the-market offering and the ELOC to fund operations; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise needed capital under acceptable terms, if at all. The sale of additional equity may dilute existing stockholders and newly issued shares may contain senior rights and preferences compared to currently outstanding shares of common stock. Issued debt securities may contain covenants and limit our ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to stockholders. If we are unable to obtain such additional financing, future operations would need to be scaled back or discontinued. Due to the uncertainty in our ability to raise capital, we believe that there is substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements during the periods presented, and we do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the SEC rules and regulations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.
There are certain critical estimates that require significant judgment in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if:

it requires us to make an assumption because information was not available at the time or it included matters that were highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made; and

changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected may have had a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

40


Our accounting estimates, specifically related to the impairment of long-lived assets, cost-to-cost (input) revenue recognition method and share-based compensation, play a crucial role in our financial reporting. Despite our thorough assessment, we have not identified any recent events or conditions necessitating revisions to our estimates and assumptions that would materially impact the carrying values of our assets or liabilities as of this Form 10-Q’s issuance date. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The use of the cost-to-cost (input) revenue recognition method requires us to make estimates regarding the total costs expected to complete each contract. These estimates are based on historical experience, project-specific factors, and other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The accuracy of these estimates can significantly impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized. Adjustments to estimated costs are made on a continuous basis and recognized in the period in which the revisions are identified. If the estimated total costs exceed the total contract revenue, a provision for the expected loss on the contract is recognized immediately.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Act of 1934. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, relating to our company, including our consolidated subsidiaries.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to provide assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
41


reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2024.
Our conclusion that the Company has a material weakness is due to the reasonable possibility that a material error could occur and may not be detected or prevented.

Based on our evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not operating effectively as of September 30, 2024. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company took active measures to establish resources with assistance of an external compliance consultant and additional staffing focused on internal controls over financial reporting (“ICFR”) to develop a remediation plan. The remediation measures included performing a comprehensive risk assessment. In making this assessment, the Company used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Management is committed to accurate and ethical business practices.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company redesigned control procedures on significant business processes to focus on preventative and detective controls. The Company has established documentation on business processes to assess any key control gaps and made efforts to remediate such gaps. The Company also established monitoring controls. Employees are actively trained in control procedures.

The Company also engaged outside technology leaders to perform a thorough review of the design of information technology general and application controls over certain operating systems and has made a preliminary assessment that no material gaps exist. Due to limited staffing in the financial reporting function, revised procedures were established to ensure adequate segregation of duties and evidencing appropriate review and approval.

It is management’s intention to continue actively working on the plan for remediation and the estimated timeline for remediation is by year end 2024.

Management’s view is that unethical, illegal, or inaccurate conduct in the operations and accounting for our Company violates the trust and integrity of our Company and is damaging to the interests of all stakeholders, and in the long-term misconduct injures the interests of even the individual whom it might initially benefit. This is reinforced periodically with informal conversations and is ingrained in the culture of our Company. When questions arise, they are escalated to the CFO, CEO, or Board of Directors for review, investigation, direction, and consensus, and external opinion is sought if consensus is not achieved. The Senior Vice President of Accounting and CFO both have direct contact with all levels of review. Management intends to work internally and with third parties to ensure we have the proper controls in place going forward. Management reinforces the Company’s tone at the top by ensuring that the executive leadership team stresses the importance of internal controls with the staff.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was active remediation efforts in establishing preventative and detective internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Management noted that controls were designed for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, however management has not completed its
42


testing of controls for operating effectiveness, and as such concluded that the design and operating effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2024.

The steps taken were created to be consistent with the goal of preventing any problems are ones that promote systematic changes, including reviewing and revising policies and procedures, enhancing existing or implementing new internal controls to detect future errors and misconduct, and redesigning training programs to ensure staff focus on the relevant issues. Disciplining firm personnel who engage in misconduct, informing and compensating injured parties, and hiring an independent consultant, where appropriate, to comprehensively evaluate polices and internal controls, can go a long way towards placing the firm in the best light possible for any regulatory or other scrutiny that may later occur.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are also involved in various other claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.
Future litigation may be necessary to defend ourselves and our partners by determining the scope, enforceability and validity of third party proprietary rights or to establish our proprietary rights. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Nature of Business and Liquidity Nature of Business and Liquidity
Organization
Crown Electrokinetics Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 20, 2015.
The Company's "Smart Windows" division commercializing technology for smart or dynamic glass. The Company’s electrokinetic glass technology is an advancement on microfluidic technology that was originally developed by HP Inc.
On December 20, 2022, the Company incorporated Crown Fiber Optics Corp., a Delaware-based corporation, to own and operate its acquired business from the acquisition of Amerigen 7, LLC (“Amerigen 7”) in January 2023. Crown Fiber Optics Corp. is accounted for as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crown Electrokinetics, Corp. The Crown Fiber Optics Corp. entity includes both the “Fiber Optics” division, which provides contracting services to the fiber optics and telecommunications infrastructure industry, and the “Slant Well” group, which focuses on the construction of slant wells for the provision of ocean water to desalination plants.
On July 26, 2024, the Company incorporated Element 82 Inc. ("Element 82"), a Delaware-based corporation, to enhance its portfolio with expertise in lead remediation.
On July 26, 2024, the Company incorporated PE Pipelines Inc., a Delaware-based corporation, to expand its portfolio in lead service line replacement and related water infrastructure projects.
On July 26, 2024, the Company incorporated Paramount Network Construction Inc., a Delaware-based corporation, to expand its portfolio in network construction and related infrastructure projects. This strategic incorporation strengthens the Company's capabilities and expertise within the critical telecommunications and public utility sectors.
Reverse Stock Split
On June 14, 2024, the Company’s board of directors authorized a reverse stock split (“June 2024 Reverse Stock Split”) at an exchange ratio of one-for-150 basis. The June 2024 Reverse Stock Split was effective on June 25, 2024, such that every 150 shares of common stock were automatically converted into one share of common stock. The Company did not issue fractional certificates for post-reverse split common stock shares in connection with the June 2024 Reverse Stock Split. Rather, all shares of common stock that were held by a common stockholder were aggregated and each common stockholder was entitled to receive the number of whole common stock shares resulting from the combination of the aggregated common stock shares. Any fractions resulting from the reverse split computation were rounded up to the next whole common stock share amount.
The number of authorized shares and the par value of the common stock was not adjusted. In connection with the June 2024 Reverse Stock Split, the conversion ratio for the Company’s outstanding convertible preferred stock was proportionately adjusted such that the common stock issuable upon conversion of such preferred stock was decreased in proportion. All references to common stock and options to purchase common stock share data, per share data and related information contained in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the June 2024 Reverse Stock Split.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company has incurred substantial operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception, expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. As reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had cash of approximately $3.1 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $132.5 million as of September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company has a net loss of approximately $15.5 million, and approximately $11.8 million of net cash used in operating activities.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company has obtained additional capital through the sale of debt or equity financings or other arrangements to fund operations including through its existing at-the-market offering; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise needed capital under acceptable terms, if at all. The sale of additional equity may dilute existing stockholders and newly issued shares may contain senior rights and preferences compared to currently outstanding shares of common stock. Issued debt securities may contain covenants and limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to stockholders. If the Company is unable to obtain such additional financing, future operations would need to be scaled back or discontinued. Due to the uncertainty in the Company’s ability to raise capital, management believes that there is substantial doubt in the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions among consolidated entities were eliminated upon consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information can be condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the assumption that users of the interim financial information have read or have access to the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024 (the "2023 Form 10-K").
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial information. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year, or for any other future annual or interim period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Accounting estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially and adversely from these estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include, but not limited to, cost-to-cost (input) revenue recognition method, fair value of warrant issuances, provision for expected credit losses, useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation and operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 for consistency with the presentation of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. There was no effect on the Company's financial position or stockholders' equity as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 or the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is currently operating in a period of economic uncertainty and capital markets disruption, which has been significantly impacted by geopolitical instability due to the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as well as Israel and Hamas. The Company’s financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by any negative impact on the global economy and capital markets resulting from the conflict in Ukraine or any other geopolitical tensions.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Reference is made to Note 3 Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies in the 2023 Form 10-K filed for a detailed description of significant accounting policies. There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies as disclosed in the 2023 Form 10-K.
Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue primarily through the four revenue streams described below which together, represent four operating segments; the Fiber Optics division, the Slant Wells group, Element 82, and the Smart Windows division. The Slant Wells group and Element 82, while reported as separate operating segments, are part of the Company's newly formed "Water Solutions" division.
The Fiber Optics division's specialty services are performed for communications providers in connection with the deployment of underground fiber optic transmission lines and include the upfront procurement of specialized equipment that will be used to provide the services.
The Slant Wells group's specialty services involves the construction of “slant wells” providing water for desalination plants and include the upfront procurement of specialized equipment that will be used to provide the services.
Element 82 helps water utility companies meet all Environmental Protection Agency compliance requirements by identifying lead pipes in residential, commercial and municipal water line systems. Their specialty services include the upfront procurement of specialized equipment that will be used to provide the services.
The Smart Windows division produces, sells and installs products referred to as the Smart Window Inserts, using DynamicTint Electrokinetic Technology that allows windows to tint and transition from clear to true black.
Together, these revenue sources support the Company’s diversified income model across its core operating segments.
The Company recognizes revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for promised goods or services. The Company applies the following five-step revenue recognition model in accounting for its revenue arrangements:

Identification of the contract with the customer;

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

Determination of the transaction price;

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company has elected the practical expedient to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the time between the goods or service being transferred to the customer and the customer pays is one year or less.

Fiber Optics Division Revenue Recognition

The nature of the Company’s Fiber Optics division's performance in its agreements is to customize outputs by constructing infrastructure that is customer specific. The Company is required to adhere to the rules and regulations that are outlined in an agreement between the Company and the customer. As a result, the Fiber Optic division's contracts prevent the Company from directing the use of such output to any other entity except the specific customer. The customer is the only party that can benefit from the output that results from the Company’s performance of specialty services under the contract.
As such, the Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and the Company has concluded that the specialty services are recognized over time.

In accordance with ASC 606, the Company meets the criteria for recognizing revenue over time because it maintains an enforceable right to bill the customer for performance completed to date as the services are rendered. This right to bill is consistent with the Company's obligation to provide continuous access to the project, reflecting progress toward completion that is aligned with customer specifications.

To measure the progress of completion, the Company uses a cost-to-cost (input) method, by comparing costs incurred to date relative to the total expected costs to satisfy the performance obligation. When applying this method, the Company excludes the effects of any costs that do not depict its performance in transferring control of goods or services to the customer. Additionally, the Company notes that the procurement performance obligation is not considered distinct and is therefore combined with other specialty services as part of a single performance obligation.

Slant Wells Group Revenue Recognition

The nature of the Company’s Slant Wells group's performance in its agreements is to customize output by constructing slant wells that are customer specific. The Company is required to adhere to the rules and regulations that are outlined in an agreement between the Company and the customer. As a result, the slant well contracts prevent the Company from directing the use of such output to any other entity except the specific customer. The customer is the only party that can benefit from the output that results from the Company’s performance of the services under the contract. As such, the Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and the Company has concluded that the services are recognized over time.

The Company maintains an enforceable right to bill the customer for performance completed to date. This right to bill reflects the progress toward fulfilling the contract and confirms that the Company’s services are being rendered continuously, with the customer receiving benefits from the ongoing completion of the customized slant well.

To measure the progress of completion, the Company uses a cost-to-cost (input) method, by comparing costs incurred to date relative to the total expected costs to satisfy the performance obligation. The Company notes that when applying this method, it excludes the effects of any costs that do not depict its performance in transferring control of goods or services to the customer.

Element 82 Revenue Recognition

The Company performs water service line lead pipe inspection and investigation services at customer locations pursuant to the contracts. These fulfillment services which constitute a series of distinct performance obligations recognized over time, culminate in comprehensive lead pipe inspection reports which the Company is required to provide to its customers. Revenue is recognized as units are delivered (output method), reflecting the delivery of inspection report units as a percentage of the total units agreed upon in each contract.

The Company procures equipment essential for fulfilling these services. The costs associated with equipment procurement are capitalized when they meet the criteria for capitalization and are amortized over the period in which the related performance obligations are satisfied.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, capitalized costs related to equipment procurement were considered insignificant.

Smart Windows Division Revenue Recognition

The Company’s Smart Windows division has not entered into any material revenue contracts with its customers and no revenue was recognized for this operating segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Retention Receivables
The Company’s Fiber Optics customers have a contractual right to withhold payment of a retainage amount that typically ranges between 5% to 10% of the total contract consideration. The retainage can be utilized by customers for any claims that may arise after work is completed through one year after project completion. The retainage amount is expected to be
collected upon the project's completion and acceptance by the customer. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has recorded a retainage receivable of $0.3 million and zero, respectively, which is a component of the accounts and retention receivables balance in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Contract Assets
The Company records contract assets for revenue recognized in excess of billings, representing amounts due from customers where revenue has been recognized based on the satisfaction of performance obligations but for which billing has not yet occurred. Contract assets, including unbilled receivables, are recorded when the Company has an unconditional right to payment, and are subsequently reclassified to accounts receivable when the right to bill the customer arises.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company's contract assets included unbilled receivables totaling $0.3 million, compared to zero as of December 31, 2023.
The following table provides a rollforward of the contract assets activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2024:
Balance as of January 1, 2024$— 
Revenue recognized prior to billings1,109 
Billings(854)
Balance as of September 30, 2024$255 
Deferred Revenue and Contract Liabilities
The Company records deferred revenue as contract liabilities when it receives payments from customers in advance of performing the contracted services or delivering goods. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue in the period when the services are performed or the goods are delivered, satisfying the Company's obligations under the contract terms.
For Fiber Optics and Slant Well projects, the Company recognizes revenue on a percentage-of-completion basis, based on the proportion of costs incurred to total estimated costs. For Element 82, the Company recognizes revenue on a percentage-of-completion basis, based on the proportion of units delivered to total units in the contract. In instances where significant judgments are required to estimate completion, management reviews and adjusts deferred revenue balances periodically to reflect performance progress accurately.
In instances where anticipated costs to complete a contract are expected to exceed the contract’s total revenue, the Company recognizes an estimated loss on the contract. This estimated loss is accrued as a liability and recognized in full in the period the loss is identified, ensuring the contract assets and liabilities accurately represent the Company’s financial position.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the contract liabilities were $0.2 million and zero, respectively.
The following table provides a rollforward of the contract liabilities activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2024:
Balance as of January 1, 2024$— 
Billings1,260 
Revenue recognized(1,020)
Balance as of September 30, 2024$240 
Revisions in Estimates

Profit recognition related to the Fiber Optics division and Slant Wells group’s contracts is based on estimates of transaction price and costs to complete each project. These estimates can vary significantly in the normal course of business as projects progress, circumstances develop and evolve, and uncertainties are resolved. Changes in estimates of transaction price and costs to complete may result in the reversal of previously recognized revenue if the current estimate adversely differs from the previous estimate.
When there are significant revisions in these estimates, the Company’s management reviews the nature of the changes to ensure that there are no material amounts that should have been recorded in a prior period rather than as revisions in estimates for the current period. For revisions in estimates, generally the cumulative catch-up method is used for changes to the transaction price that are part of a single performance obligation. Under this method, revisions in estimates are accounted for in their entirety in the period of change.
Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectibility of its customer accounts and retention receivables and contract assets, all of which fall within the scope of ASC 326.

The Company reviews the provision for credit losses by considering certain factors such as historical experience, industry data, credit quality, age of balances and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. Uncollectible accounts and retention receivables and contract assets are written off when all efforts to collect have been exhausted and recoveries are recognized when they are recovered. The Company’s provision for credit losses was zero as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Concentrations of Risk and Significant Customers
The Company maintains its cash accounts with financial institutions, ensuring all deposits remain fully protected by utilizing ICS/Sweep accounts. As a result, no cash balances exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits, providing complete coverage and safeguarding the Company's funds through September 30, 2024.

The Company’s customers are generally large public or private companies with good credit and payment practices and a positive reputation in the industry at the time that the contracts are entered into. Furthermore, because it has the ability to stop transferring promised goods and services if payment is not received, the Company has concluded that collection risk is minimal.

Three customers accounted for 91% of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2024. Accounts receivable were not significant as of December 31, 2023.

The Company’s revenue is generated from its Fiber Optics, Slant Wells, and Element 82 segments. Three customers accounted for approximately 95% and 84% of the total revenue generated for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Revenue was not significant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s vendor purchases primarily included costs associated with professional fees, subcontractor labor, equipment purchases and leases, and purchases of other supplies and materials. Any disruptions in the Company’s vendor relationships could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Reportable Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is determined to be the CODM.

The Company has four operating segments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, including the Smart Windows division, the Fiber Optics division, the Slant Wells group and Element 82. The Company has four reportable segments, the Smart Windows division, the Fiber Optics division, the Slant Wells group, and Element 82.

Revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 relates to the Fiber Optics division, the Slant Wells group and Element 82.
Deferred Debt Issuance Costs
The Company accounts for debt issuance costs related to its line of credit and equity line of credit as a deferred asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, which is amortized over the life of the line of credit and equity line of credit. Since the Company has elected the fair value option for its convertible notes, upon a draw down, a portion of the deferred asset
balance will be amortized and recognized as other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Warrants

The Company estimates the fair value of certain common stock warrants issued both before and after June 30, 2024, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, including the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price, the expected term of the warrants, the risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends.

Common Stock Warrants Issued Before June 30, 2024:

These warrants are classified as liabilities as their settlement terms preclude equity classification. The warrants were recorded at fair value upon issuance and are subsequently remeasured at fair value at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value recognized within other income (expense), net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The change in fair value of warrant liabilities for both the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were zero. The change in fair value of warrant liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were zero and $0.5 million, respectively. The fair value of warrant liabilities were insignificant as of both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Common Stock Warrants Issued After June 30, 2024:

Warrants issued after June 30, 2024 have been classified within stockholders' equity as they meet the criteria for equity classification. Specifically, these warrants are indexed to the Company’s common stock and do not contain settlement provisions that would preclude them from equity classification. Upon issuance, the fair value of these equity-classified warrants was recorded in additional paid-in capital with no subsequent remeasurement required.

Valuation Assumptions for Black-Scholes Model:

The following key assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes model to estimate fair value:

Volatility: Based on historical volatility of comparable companies

Expected Term: Estimated based on the contractual term of the warrants

Risk-Free Interest Rate: Based on U.S. Treasury yields at the time of issuance

Dividend Yield: Assumed to be zero, as the Company does not expect to pay dividends

Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed using the sum of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and the effect of dilutive securities.
As the Company was in a net loss position for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders because the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive.
Securities that could potentially dilute loss per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as of September 30, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:
September 30,

Equity Line of Credit – Keystone Capital Partners, LLC
On July 20, 2023 (the “Execution Date”), the Company entered into an Equity Line of Credit ("ELOC") with a purchaser, Keystone Capital Partners, LLC (“Keystone”) whereby the Company has the right to sell up to an aggregate of $50.0 million of newly issued shares (the “Keystone ELOC Shares”) of the Company’s common stock. The aggregate number of shares that the Company can sell under the Keystone ELOC Purchase Agreement may not exceed 4.99% of the outstanding common stock, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Keystone ELOC Purchase Agreement.
The purchase price of the shares of common stock that the Company elects to sell to the pursuant to the Keystone ELOC Purchase Agreement will be equal to 97.0% of the lower of (i) the lowest intraday sale price of the common stock on the Company’s current trading market on the applicable purchase date or (ii) the arithmetic average of the three lowest closing sale prices during the ten trading days immediately preceding the applicable purchase date. There is no upper limit on the price per share that Keystone could be obligated to pay for the common stock under the Keystone ELOC Purchase Agreement.
In the first half of 2024, the Company received net proceeds on sales of 1,740,027 shares of common stock of approximately $10.7 million, after deducting commissions and expenses of $1.3 million, at a weighted-average price of $6.93 per share.

The amount available under this ELOC as of September 30, 2024 was approximately $30 million.
Equity Line of Credit - Liqueous, LP

On August 31, 2024 (the 'Execution Date"), the Company entered into a new ELOC with Liqueous, LP ("Liqueous"). The Company may sell up to an aggregate of $100 million in newly issued shares (the "Liqueous ELOC Shares") of its common stock during the Commitment Period. The Commitment Period in the agreement is defined as the period beginning on August 31, 2024 and ending either when the Company has sold shares up to $100 million or on the second anniversary of the Execution Date, whichever comes first.

Prior to August 31, 2024, stockholder approval was obtained to allow the Company the flexibility to issue more than 20% of its outstanding common stock, in connection with financing arrangements, including but not limited to the ELOC, on June 14, 2024. This approval provides the Company with the ability to issue shares in excess of this threshold under the ELOC or any additional financing arrangement that may require it.

The purchase price of the Liqueous ELOC Shares will be 97.0% of the lowest daily volume weighted-average price ("VWAP") of the Company's common stock during a 2-day valuation period following the applicable purchase date. There is no upper limit on the price per share that the Liqueous ELOC Purchaser could be obligated to pay for the Liqueous ELOC Shares under the agreement.
The Company's ELOC agreements contain put option features that allows the Company to sell shares of its common stock to the Keystone or Liqueous at specified discounts to the prevailing market price. These put options are classified as derivatives under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. After a thorough assessment of the put option’s fair value, the Company has determined them to be insignificant. As a result, these derivatives have not been recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to monitor the fair value of the put option in subsequent reporting periods and will recognize them in the condensed consolidated financial statements if their fair values become material.
Preferred Stock Conversions
On May 2024, the Company executed a Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of its Series A, Series B, and Series C preferred stock (collectively, the “May 2024 COD”) following the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors and the requisite numbers of Series A, Series B, and Series C preferred stockholders (collectively, the “Senior Preferred Stock”). Under the May 2024 COD, the Company revised the conversion price of its Senior Preferred Stock to $0.0462 to incentivize the holders to convert their shares into the Company’s common stock. The following table summarizes the number of common stock shares issued upon the conversion of the Senior Preferred Stock:
Series of Preferred StockNumber of Preferred Stock Shares ConvertedNumber of Common Stock Shares Issued Upon Conversion
Series A25136,220
Series B1,443220,782
Series C500,75678,056
Total502,450335,058
The Company concluded that the conversion was an induced conversion and the fair value for the inducement was recognized as a deemed dividend. Due to the fact that the Company does not have any retained earnings, the Company recorded the corresponding entries to additional paid-in capital and the debit/credit had a net nil impact on stockholders’ equity during the period ended September 30, 2024.
On May 2024, the holders of Series F, F-1, and F-2 exercised their option to convert the shares into common stock utilizing the Alternate Conversion (defined below) feature. As part of the original terms of the Series F, the shares may be converted to common stock based on the Alternate Conversion Price (defined below) that is lower than the original conversion price of $0.1478 per share (“Alternate Conversion”) if certain events were to occur (“Triggering Event”). The Triggering Events that occurred that enabled an Alternate Conversion is the (i) failure of the applicable registration statement to be filed with the SEC on or prior to the date that is five (5) days after the applicable filing deadline, and (ii) failure to pay dividends. The
Alternate Conversion Price is the lowest of (i) the conversion price in effect on the conversion date of the applicable Alternate Conversion, (ii) the greater of (x) the floor price of $0.1478, and (y) 80% of the VWAP of the common stock on the trading day preceding delivery day of the conversion notice, (iii) 80% of the VWAP of common stock as of the trading day of the conversion notice delivery day, and (iv) the greater of (x) the floor price of $0.1478, and (y) 80% of the price of the quotient (I) sum of three lowest days of common stock VWAP over 15 days, divided by (II) three. The following table summarizes the number of shares of common stock issued upon the conversion:
Series of Preferred StockNumber of Preferred Stock Shares ConvertedNumber of Common Stock Shares Issued through ConversionNumber of Common Stock Shares Issued for Deemed Dividend in Connection with Conversion

Series F-1653113,576
Series F-21,153140,26410,990
Total6,254902,28149,789
The Series F, F-1, and F-2 preferred stock were converted to common stock based on the triggering of the Alternative Conversion provisions. As such, the carrying value of the Series F, F-1, and F-2 preferred stock were derecognized. Additionally, the issued shares of common stock from the Series F conversion were recognized at par value and the triggered Alternative Conversion recognized as a deemed dividend. The Company recorded the corresponding entries to additional paid-in capital and the debit/credit had a net nil impact on stockholders’ equity during the period ended September 30, 2024.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a reclassification adjustment of approximately $10,000 to additional paid-in capital and common stock par value related to the Senior Preferred Stock and Series F, F-1, and F-2 conversions.

Leases Under the Smart Windows Division
The Smart Windows division operating segment leases and subleases various office and laboratory spaces under non-cancelable operating leases with various expiration dates through fiscal 2027, certain of which contain renewal provisions. These renewal provisions are not reasonably certain to be exercised and therefore are not factored into the determination of lease payments. The Smart Windows division operating segment has no lease agreements that are classified as finance leases.
In March 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Hudson 11601 Wilshire, LLC, to lease 3,500 square feet of office space located in Los Angeles, California. The lease term is 39 months and expires on June 30, 2024. In April 2024, the Company entered into the first amendment for the Hudson lease to revise the payment schedule for the remaining lease term expiring on June 30, 2024. Subsequently, the Company entered into the second amendment in June 2024 to extend the lease term. The second amended lease expires in September 2027. The Company recorded a right-of-use asset of approximately $0.6 million and lease liabilities of approximately $0.6 million related to the first and second amended lease agreements.
Leases Under the Fiber Optics Group
The Fiber Optics group leases various offices, storage spaces, and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. These leases have expiration dates through fiscal 2026. Certain leases include renewal options; however, these renewal options are not considered reasonably certain to be exercised and are therefore excluded from the calculation of lease payments. The Fiber Optics group does not have any lease agreements classified as finance leases.
In August 2024, the Company entered into a month-to-month lease agreement with PWR LLC to sublease a portion of it's Burnham Lease located at 12627 S 182nd Pl, Gilbert, Arizona. The sublease agreement is set on a rolling 30-day renewal basis, allowing either party to terminate the agreement with a 30-day notice. The Company recorded $7,900 in other income for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease practical expedient in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. Under this guidance, the Company has chosen not to recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Instead, lease payments for these short-term leases are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Future litigation may be necessary to defend ourselves and our partners by determining the scope, enforceability and validity of third party proprietary rights or to establish the Company’s proprietary rights. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

The technology, initially developed by Hewlett-Packard, enables a transition between clear and dark states in seconds. It is aimed at various applications including commercial buildings, automotive sunroofs, and residential windows. The Company partners with leading glass and film manufacturers for the mass production and distribution of its DynamicTint product. This segment also includes Smart Window Inserts, designed for retrofitting in commercial and residential settings, offering dynamic tinting along with additional insulation and soundproofing.

Fiber Optics Division: The Company's involvement in fiber optics is relatively recent, marked by the acquisition of Amerigen 7's assets, which was focused on the construction of 5G fiber optics infrastructure. The Fiber Optics division provides contracting services to the fiber optics and telecommunications infrastructure industry. Services range from program management and engineering to the construction of aerial and underground fiber networks. This division aims to capitalize on the demand for enhanced telecommunications bandwidth, with efforts to expand through selective market share increase, potential acquisitions, and leveraging new equipment like micro trenchers to gain a strategic advantage.

Slant Wells Group: This division focuses on the construction of slant wells for the provision of ocean water to desalination plants that in turn produces fresh water to the planned development sites.

Element 82: Element 82 is a water pipeline inspection service provider focused on lead detection and condition assessment. Element 82 plays a vital role in lead testing and prevention, working closely with health departments to address lead exposure risks, especially among children.

Subsequent Events Subsequent Events
From October 10, 2024 through November 14, 2024, the Company issued and sold under the at-the-market offering a total of 1,463,800 shares, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $1.9 million. After accounting for commissions and expenses totaling $56,000, net proceeds from these sales amounted to approximately $1.8 million. These shares were issued at a weighted-average price of $1.28 per share.

On October 15, 2024, the Company amended its prospectus supplement, initially dated March 30, 2022, to increase the maximum aggregate offering price of its common stock available for sale through its sales agent, Alliance Global Partners ("A.G.P"), under the existing Sales Agreement. This amendment permits the Company to offer and sell additional shares, and raises the total maximum aggregate offering price to $63 million, of which approximately $13 million in gross proceeds has already been realized. Additionally, the amendment includes the registration of an extra $50 million in common stock for issuance through A.G.P., per the terms of the Sales Agreement.

On October 15, 2024, the Company filed a registration statement to resell up to 20,000,000 shares of common stock by Liqueous, LP in connection with its ELOC pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 31, 2024.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions among consolidated entities were eliminated upon consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information can be condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the assumption that users of the interim financial information have read or have access to the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024 (the "2023 Form 10-K").
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial information. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year, or for any other future annual or interim period.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Accounting estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially and adversely from these estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include, but not limited to, cost-to-cost (input) revenue recognition method, fair value of warrant issuances, provision for expected credit losses, useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation and operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 for consistency with the presentation of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. There was no effect on the Company's financial position or stockholders' equity as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 or the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Risks and Uncertainties
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is currently operating in a period of economic uncertainty and capital markets disruption, which has been significantly impacted by geopolitical instability due to the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as well as Israel and Hamas. The Company’s financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by any negative impact on the global economy and capital markets resulting from the conflict in Ukraine or any other geopolitical tensions.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue primarily through the four revenue streams described below which together, represent four operating segments; the Fiber Optics division, the Slant Wells group, Element 82, and the Smart Windows division. The Slant Wells group and Element 82, while reported as separate operating segments, are part of the Company's newly formed "Water Solutions" division.
The Fiber Optics division's specialty services are performed for communications providers in connection with the deployment of underground fiber optic transmission lines and include the upfront procurement of specialized equipment that will be used to provide the services.
The Slant Wells group's specialty services involves the construction of “slant wells” providing water for desalination plants and include the upfront procurement of specialized equipment that will be used to provide the services.
Element 82 helps water utility companies meet all Environmental Protection Agency compliance requirements by identifying lead pipes in residential, commercial and municipal water line systems. Their specialty services include the upfront procurement of specialized equipment that will be used to provide the services.
The Smart Windows division produces, sells and installs products referred to as the Smart Window Inserts, using DynamicTint Electrokinetic Technology that allows windows to tint and transition from clear to true black.
Together, these revenue sources support the Company’s diversified income model across its core operating segments.
The Company recognizes revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for promised goods or services. The Company applies the following five-step revenue recognition model in accounting for its revenue arrangements:

Identification of the contract with the customer;

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

Determination of the transaction price;

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company has elected the practical expedient to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the time between the goods or service being transferred to the customer and the customer pays is one year or less.

Fiber Optics Division Revenue Recognition

The nature of the Company’s Fiber Optics division's performance in its agreements is to customize outputs by constructing infrastructure that is customer specific. The Company is required to adhere to the rules and regulations that are outlined in an agreement between the Company and the customer. As a result, the Fiber Optic division's contracts prevent the Company from directing the use of such output to any other entity except the specific customer. The customer is the only party that can benefit from the output that results from the Company’s performance of specialty services under the contract.
As such, the Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and the Company has concluded that the specialty services are recognized over time.

In accordance with ASC 606, the Company meets the criteria for recognizing revenue over time because it maintains an enforceable right to bill the customer for performance completed to date as the services are rendered. This right to bill is consistent with the Company's obligation to provide continuous access to the project, reflecting progress toward completion that is aligned with customer specifications.

To measure the progress of completion, the Company uses a cost-to-cost (input) method, by comparing costs incurred to date relative to the total expected costs to satisfy the performance obligation. When applying this method, the Company excludes the effects of any costs that do not depict its performance in transferring control of goods or services to the customer. Additionally, the Company notes that the procurement performance obligation is not considered distinct and is therefore combined with other specialty services as part of a single performance obligation.

Slant Wells Group Revenue Recognition

The nature of the Company’s Slant Wells group's performance in its agreements is to customize output by constructing slant wells that are customer specific. The Company is required to adhere to the rules and regulations that are outlined in an agreement between the Company and the customer. As a result, the slant well contracts prevent the Company from directing the use of such output to any other entity except the specific customer. The customer is the only party that can benefit from the output that results from the Company’s performance of the services under the contract. As such, the Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and the Company has concluded that the services are recognized over time.

The Company maintains an enforceable right to bill the customer for performance completed to date. This right to bill reflects the progress toward fulfilling the contract and confirms that the Company’s services are being rendered continuously, with the customer receiving benefits from the ongoing completion of the customized slant well.

To measure the progress of completion, the Company uses a cost-to-cost (input) method, by comparing costs incurred to date relative to the total expected costs to satisfy the performance obligation. The Company notes that when applying this method, it excludes the effects of any costs that do not depict its performance in transferring control of goods or services to the customer.

Element 82 Revenue Recognition

The Company performs water service line lead pipe inspection and investigation services at customer locations pursuant to the contracts. These fulfillment services which constitute a series of distinct performance obligations recognized over time, culminate in comprehensive lead pipe inspection reports which the Company is required to provide to its customers. Revenue is recognized as units are delivered (output method), reflecting the delivery of inspection report units as a percentage of the total units agreed upon in each contract.

The Company procures equipment essential for fulfilling these services. The costs associated with equipment procurement are capitalized when they meet the criteria for capitalization and are amortized over the period in which the related performance obligations are satisfied.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, capitalized costs related to equipment procurement were considered insignificant.

Smart Windows Division Revenue Recognition

The Company’s Smart Windows division has not entered into any material revenue contracts with its customers and no revenue was recognized for this operating segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Contract Assets and Provision for Credit Losses
Contract Assets
The Company records contract assets for revenue recognized in excess of billings, representing amounts due from customers where revenue has been recognized based on the satisfaction of performance obligations but for which billing has not yet occurred. Contract assets, including unbilled receivables, are recorded when the Company has an unconditional right to payment, and are subsequently reclassified to accounts receivable when the right to bill the customer arises.
Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectibility of its customer accounts and retention receivables and contract assets, all of which fall within the scope of ASC 326.

The Company reviews the provision for credit losses by considering certain factors such as historical experience, industry data, credit quality, age of balances and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. Uncollectible accounts and retention receivables and contract assets are written off when all efforts to collect have been exhausted and recoveries are recognized when they are recovered. The Company’s provision for credit losses was zero as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Deferred Revenue and Contract Liabilities
Deferred Revenue and Contract Liabilities
The Company records deferred revenue as contract liabilities when it receives payments from customers in advance of performing the contracted services or delivering goods. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue in the period when the services are performed or the goods are delivered, satisfying the Company's obligations under the contract terms.
For Fiber Optics and Slant Well projects, the Company recognizes revenue on a percentage-of-completion basis, based on the proportion of costs incurred to total estimated costs. For Element 82, the Company recognizes revenue on a percentage-of-completion basis, based on the proportion of units delivered to total units in the contract. In instances where significant judgments are required to estimate completion, management reviews and adjusts deferred revenue balances periodically to reflect performance progress accurately.
In instances where anticipated costs to complete a contract are expected to exceed the contract’s total revenue, the Company recognizes an estimated loss on the contract. This estimated loss is accrued as a liability and recognized in full in the period the loss is identified, ensuring the contract assets and liabilities accurately represent the Company’s financial position.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the contract liabilities were $0.2 million and zero, respectively.
Concentrations of Risk and Significant Customers
Concentrations of Risk and Significant Customers
The Company maintains its cash accounts with financial institutions, ensuring all deposits remain fully protected by utilizing ICS/Sweep accounts. As a result, no cash balances exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits, providing complete coverage and safeguarding the Company's funds through September 30, 2024.

The Company’s customers are generally large public or private companies with good credit and payment practices and a positive reputation in the industry at the time that the contracts are entered into. Furthermore, because it has the ability to stop transferring promised goods and services if payment is not received, the Company has concluded that collection risk is minimal.

Three customers accounted for 91% of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2024. Accounts receivable were not significant as of December 31, 2023.

The Company’s revenue is generated from its Fiber Optics, Slant Wells, and Element 82 segments. Three customers accounted for approximately 95% and 84% of the total revenue generated for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Revenue was not significant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s vendor purchases primarily included costs associated with professional fees, subcontractor labor, equipment purchases and leases, and purchases of other supplies and materials. Any disruptions in the Company’s vendor relationships could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
Reportable Segments
Reportable Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is determined to be the CODM.

The Company has four operating segments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, including the Smart Windows division, the Fiber Optics division, the Slant Wells group and Element 82. The Company has four reportable segments, the Smart Windows division, the Fiber Optics division, the Slant Wells group, and Element 82.

Revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 relates to the Fiber Optics division, the Slant Wells group and Element 82.
Deferred Debt Issuance Costs
Deferred Debt Issuance Costs
The Company accounts for debt issuance costs related to its line of credit and equity line of credit as a deferred asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, which is amortized over the life of the line of credit and equity line of credit. Since the Company has elected the fair value option for its convertible notes, upon a draw down, a portion of the deferred asset
balance will be amortized and recognized as other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Warrants
Warrants

The Company estimates the fair value of certain common stock warrants issued both before and after June 30, 2024, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, including the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price, the expected term of the warrants, the risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends.

Common Stock Warrants Issued Before June 30, 2024:

These warrants are classified as liabilities as their settlement terms preclude equity classification. The warrants were recorded at fair value upon issuance and are subsequently remeasured at fair value at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value recognized within other income (expense), net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The change in fair value of warrant liabilities for both the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were zero. The change in fair value of warrant liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were zero and $0.5 million, respectively. The fair value of warrant liabilities were insignificant as of both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Common Stock Warrants Issued After June 30, 2024:

Warrants issued after June 30, 2024 have been classified within stockholders' equity as they meet the criteria for equity classification. Specifically, these warrants are indexed to the Company’s common stock and do not contain settlement provisions that would preclude them from equity classification. Upon issuance, the fair value of these equity-classified warrants was recorded in additional paid-in capital with no subsequent remeasurement required.

Valuation Assumptions for Black-Scholes Model:

The following key assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes model to estimate fair value:

Volatility: Based on historical volatility of comparable companies

Expected Term: Estimated based on the contractual term of the warrants

Risk-Free Interest Rate: Based on U.S. Treasury yields at the time of issuance

Dividend Yield: Assumed to be zero, as the Company does not expect to pay dividends
Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed using the sum of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and the effect of dilutive securities.
As the Company was in a net loss position for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders because the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive.
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an interim and annual basis. The Company adopted annual requirements under ASU 2023-07 on January 1, 2024 and plans to adopt interim requirements under ASU 2023-07 on January 1, 2025. The Company will begin including financial statement disclosures in accordance with ASU 2023-07 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. ASU 2023-06 incorporates 14 of the 27 disclosure requirements published in SEC Release No. 33-10532: Disclosure Update and Simplification into various topics within the ASC. ASU 2023-06’s amendments represent clarifications to, or technical corrections of, current requirements. For SEC registrants, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC removes that related disclosure from its rules. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires enhanced annual disclosures regarding the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
