NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1— BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Acorn Energy, Inc. (“Acorn”) and its subsidiaries, OmniMetrix, LLC (“OmniMetrix”) and OMX Holdings, Inc. (collectively, with Acorn and OmniMetrix, “the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. The December 31, 2024 consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.
All dollar amounts, except per share data, are rounded to the nearest thousand; thus, they are approximate.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 6, 2025.
NOTE 2—ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
As applicable to these unaudited consolidated financial statements, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate to uncertainties with respect to valuation allowance.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company’s cash was deposited with a U.S. bank and amounted to $3,253,000 at June 30, 2025. The Company does not believe there is a significant risk of non-performance by its counterparties. For the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2025, there was one customer that represented 42% and 47%, respectively, of the Company’s total invoiced revenue. At June 30, 2025, the Company had one customer that represented 76% of our total accounts receivable due at various dates but all no later than September 25, 2025 based on the customer’s payment terms. The customer with this concentration of both invoiced revenue and accounts receivable is the customer under a material contract that was executed in June 2024. Approximately 61% of the accounts receivable at December 31, 2024 was due from this customer which was subsequently collected in full. Credit risk with respect to the balance of trade receivables is typically diversified due to the number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base. Although we do not believe there is significant risk of non-performance by this counterparty, any failures or defaults on their part could negatively impact the value of our financial instruments and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations or financial condition.
Inventory
Inventories are comprised of components (raw materials) and finished goods, which are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
| 7 |
Raw materials inventory is generally comprised of radios, cables, antennas, and electrical components. Finished goods inventory consists of fully assembled systems ready for final shipment to the customer. Costs are determined at cost of acquisition on a weighted average basis and include all outside production and applicable shipping costs.
All inventories are periodically reviewed to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventory. Management conducts an assessment at the end of each reporting period of the Company’s inventory reserve and writes off any inventory items that are deemed obsolete.
Management conducted an assessment and wrote off inventory deemed obsolete valued at $4,000 in the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2025. Management wrote off inventory valued at $19,000 and $10,000, respectively, during the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2024.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue recognition policy is consistent with applicable revenue recognition guidance and interpretations. The core principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle, which includes: (1) identifying contracts with customers, (2) identifying performance obligations within those contracts, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract, which may include an estimate of variable consideration, and (5) recognizing revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company assesses whether payment terms are customary or extended in accordance with normal practice relative to the market in which the sale is occurring. The Company’s sales arrangements generally include standard payment terms. These terms effectively relate to all customers, products, and arrangements regardless of customer type, product mix or arrangement size. See Note 11, Revenue, for further discussion.
Revenue from sales of the hardware products that are distinct products are recorded when shipped (with the exception of the hardware products under a material contract with one customer for which revenue is recognized when the unit is accepted) while the revenue from sales of the hardware products (product versions sold prior to September 1, 2023) that were not separable from the Company’s monitoring services was deferred and amortized over the estimated unit life. Product revenues are recognized at the point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery to the one customer under a material contract. To determine when control has transferred, the Company considers if there is a present right to payment and if legal title, physical possession, and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset has transferred to the customer. Revenue from the prepayment of monitoring fees (generally paid twelve months in advance) are recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt of payment from the customer and then amortized to revenue over the monitoring service period. This method provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of services as it aligns the recognition of revenue with the period in which the monitoring services are provided. By deferring the revenue and recognizing it over the service period, the financial statements accurately reflect the company’s performance and obligations to its customers. See Notes 10 and 11 for the disaggregation of the Company’s revenue for the periods presented.
Any sales tax, value added tax, and other tax the Company collects concurrent with revenue producing activities are excluded from revenue.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, the company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and the tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
| 8 |
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, include future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for incomes taxes. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a reduction in the valuation allowance of $4,686,000 that was previously recorded against our deferred tax assets. During the six and three months ended June 30, 2025, there was no change in the valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025, we believe, based on our projections, that a partial valuation allowance of $11,400,000 is necessary against our deferred tax assets. Management will continue to assess the need for the valuation allowance and will make adjustments when appropriate. Management’s projections and beliefs are based upon a variety of estimates and numerous assumptions made by our management with respect to, among other things, interest rates, forecasted revenue of the hardware sales and monitoring revenue or revenue streams that could generate sufficient income so that the Company can utilize our net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards and other matters, many of which are difficult to predict, are subject to significant uncertainties and are beyond our control. As a result, there is inherently uncertainty that the estimates and assumptions upon which these projections and beliefs are based will prove to be accurate, that the anticipated results will be realized or that the actual results will not be substantially higher or lower than the Company projected.
The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. No accrued interest or penalties were required to be included in the related tax liability line in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 and in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024.
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing the net income attributable to Acorn Energy, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, excluding treasury stock. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive potential of common shares which would result from the exercise of stock options and warrants. The dilutive effects of stock options and warrants are excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share if doing so would be antidilutive.
The combined weighted average number of options that were excluded from the computation of diluted income per share, as they had an antidilutive effect, was (which have a weighted average exercise price of $) for both the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2025. The combined weighted average number of options that were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share, as they had an antidilutive effect, was (with a weighted average exercise price of $) and (with a weighted average exercise price of $) for the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $3,253,000 of consolidated cash.
At June 30, 2025, the Company had working capital of $2,709,000. Its working capital includes $3,253,000 of cash and deferred revenue of $3,155,000. Such deferred revenue does not require a significant cash outlay for the revenue to be recognized. Total deferred revenue decreased by $564,000, from $4,233,000 at December 31, 2024 to $3,669,000 at June 30, 2025, as a result of the sales mix of products sold. Based on the current products being sold, the Company expects continued decreases in the deferred revenue balance in the foreseeable future (see Note 11, Revenue). The balance of deferred hardware revenue at June 30, 2025 will continue to be amortized over the months remaining in the three-year period since the hardware’s original date of shipment. Net cash increased during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 by $927,000, with $900,000 provided by operating activities, $21,000 used in investing activities, and $48,000 cash provided by financing activities.
As of August 5, 2025, the Company had cash of $3,428,000. The Company believes that such cash, plus the cash expected to be generated from operations, will provide sufficient liquidity to finance the corporate activities of Acorn and operating activities of OmniMetrix at their current level of operations for at least the twelve-month period from the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company may, at some point, elect to obtain a new line of credit or other source of financing to fund additional investments in the business. If the Company decides to pursue additional financing in the future, it may be in the form of a bank line, a new loan or investment by others, an equity raise by Acorn which could then facilitate a loan by Acorn to OmniMetrix, or any combination thereof. Whether alternative funds, such as third-party loans or investments, will be available at the time and on terms acceptable to Acorn and OmniMetrix cannot be determined at this time.
NOTE 4—ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
For the Company, ASC 326, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)” applies to its contract assets (deferred COGS and deferred sales commissions), lease receivables (sublease, see Note 6) and trade receivables. There are no expected or estimated credit losses on the Company’s contract assets or its lease receivable based on the Company’s analysis of ASC 326.
The Company’s trade receivables primarily arise from the sale of our products to independent residential dealers, industrial distributors and dealers, national and regional retailers, equipment distributors, and certain end users with payment terms generally ranging from 30 to 90 days. The Company evaluates the credit risk of a customer when extending credit based on a combination of various financial and qualitative factors that may affect the customer’s ability to pay. These factors include the customer’s financial condition and past payment experience.
| 10 |
The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses, which represents an estimate of expected losses over the remaining contractual life of its receivables considering current market conditions and estimates for supportable forecasts when appropriate. The Company measures expected credit losses on its trade receivables on an entity-by-entity basis. The estimate of expected credit losses considers a historical loss experience rate that is adjusted for delinquency trends, collection experience, and/or economic risk where appropriate. Additionally, management develops a specific allowance for trade receivables known to have a high risk of expected future credit loss.
The Company has historically experienced immaterial write-offs given the nature of the customers that receive credit. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had gross receivables of $2,144,000 and an allowance for credit losses of $4,000.

NOTE 6—LEASES
OmniMetrix leases office space and office equipment under operating lease agreements. The office lease, originally set to expire on September 30, 2025, was amended on June 20, 2025, to extend the lease term through November 30, 2030. The amendment also includes scheduled increases in monthly base rent and provides for conditional rent abatement for October and November 2025, as well as a tenant improvement allowance of up to $14,000 for qualifying alterations completed by September 30, 2026. The Company concluded the amendment constitutes a modification event under ASC 842 and the Company reassessed and remeasured the lease. The Company remeasured the lease payments based on the updated lease term, incremental borrowing rate and adjusted the right of use asset and lease liability accordingly. The lease was determined to still represent an operating lease. The present value of future minimum lease payments on non-cancelable operating leases as of June 30, 2025 using a discount rate of 6.0% is $1,063,000. The 6.0% discount rate used is the estimated incremental borrowing rate when the lease was entered into, which, as defined in ASC 842: Leases, is the rate of interest that a lessee would have had to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term and in a similar economic environment, an amount equal to the lease payments. Operating lease cost for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $68,000 and $64,000, respectively. Operating lease cost for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $36,000 and $32,000, respectively.

On July 6, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with King Industrial Realty, Inc., to sublease from the Company 1,900 square feet of office space of the Company’s 21,000 square feet of office and production space in the Hamilton Mill Business Park located in Buford, Georgia, for a monthly sublease payment of $2,375 (plus an annual escalator each year of 3%) which includes the base rent plus a pro-rata share of utilities, property taxes and insurance. Fifty percent of any excess rent received above the per square foot amount that the Company pays is remitted to the Company’s landlord less the allocation of any shared expenses and leasehold improvements specific to the sublease. As of June 30, 2025, after the offset of the investment in leasehold improvements and other expenses related to the sublease, the landlord’s allocation of Company’s sublease receipts is $22,000 since the inception of the lease. The Company has paid a total of $16,000 for its share of the sublease profit since the lease commencement. The sublease commenced on October 1, 2021 and will run through September 30, 2025 which is the end of the Company’s original lease term with its landlord. The Company is currently negotiating the extension of the sublease with the tenant. Below are the future payments expected under the sublease, net of the estimated service cost of $2,000 through September 30, 2025, which is the end of the current term of the sublease (gross of the estimated amount expected to be remitted to our landlord) (in thousands):

NOTE 7—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has $1,063,000 in operating lease obligations payable through 2030 and $342,000 in other contractual obligations, which includes contractual services and software license agreements. The contractual services include $223,000 payable through June 30, 2026 and $109,000 payable through June 30, 2027. The software license agreements of $10,000 are all payable through June 30, 2026. The Company also has $994,000 in open purchase order commitments payable through June 30, 2026 of which $804,000 (81%) is to one electronics vendor.

NOTE 8— STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
(a) General
At June 30, 2025, Acorn had shares issued and shares outstanding of its common stock, par value $ per share. Holders of outstanding common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by the Board and to share rateably in the assets of the Company legally available for distribution in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
The Company is t authorized to issue preferred stock. Accordingly, preferred stock is issued or outstanding.
(b) Summary Employee Option Information
The Company’s stock option plans provide for the grant to officers, directors and employees of options to purchase shares of common stock. The purchase price may be paid in cash or, if the option is “in-the-money” at the end of the option term, it is automatically exercised “net.” In a net exercise of an option, the Company does not require a payment of the exercise price of the option from the option holder but reduces the number of shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of the option by the smallest number of whole shares that has an aggregate fair market value equal to or in excess of the aggregate exercise price for the option shares covered by the option exercised. Each option is exercisable for one share of the Company’s common stock. Most options expire within five to ten years from the date of the grant and generally vest over a three-year period from the date of the grant.
At June 30, 2025, options were available for grant under the Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and no options were available for grant under the 2006 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors. The Plan was amended effective January 1, 2025 to extend the duration of the Plan until December 31, 2034 unless sooner terminated. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, options were issued. The options were issued as follows: an aggregate of to directors (excluding the CEO), to the CEO and to the CFO. In the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2025, there were grants to non-employees (other than the directors, CEO and CFO). There were options issued in the three-month period ended June 30 2025.
During the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2025, options were exercised of which all were exercised in the three-month period ended June 30, 2025. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate fair value, utilizing the following assumptions for the respective years (all in weighted averages):
Number of Options (in shares) | Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life | Aggregate Intrinsic Value | |||||||||||
| Outstanding at December 31, 2024 | 70,149 | $ | 6.52 | years | $ | 806,000 | ||||||||

(c) Stock Option Compensation Expense
Stock option compensation expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations was $ and $ for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $ and $ for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized was $ as of June 30, 2025 which will be recognized over the next twenty-eight months.
NOTE 9— INCOME TAXES
The Company’s quarterly provision for income taxes is measured using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items within the period presented. To determine the annual effective tax rate, the Company estimates both the total income (loss) before income taxes for the full year and the jurisdictions in which that income (loss) is subject to tax. The actual effective tax rate for the full year may differ from these estimates if income (loss) before income taxes is greater than or less than what was estimated or if the allocation of income (loss) to jurisdictions in which it is taxed is different from the estimated allocations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 the Company recognized income tax expense of $396,000 and $25,000, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 was 24.7% and 6.8%, respectively.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 the Company recognized income tax expense of $242,000 and $, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 was 24.8% and 0%, respectively.
The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to state income taxes where the Company operates. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to the Company’s valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The Company evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset may not be realized. The Company evaluates its tax positions and recognizes tax benefits that, more-likely-than-not, will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
The Company files a consolidated U.S. income tax return and tax returns in certain state and local jurisdictions. As of June 30, 2025, the Company is no longer subject to federal examination for years before 2021, or for years before 2020 for state income taxes. However, our tax attribute carryforwards from closed tax years may be subject to examination to the extent utilized in an open tax year. The Company does not expect that our unrecognized tax benefits will change within the next twelve months due to statute of limitation lapses.
NOTE 10— SEGMENT REPORTING
As of June 30, 2025, the Company operates in two reportable operating segments, both of which are performed through the Company’s OmniMetrix subsidiary:
| ● | Power Generation (“PG”). OmniMetrix’s PG services provide wireless remote monitoring and control systems and IoT applications for residential and commercial/industrial power generation equipment. This includes OmniMetrix’s TrueGuard power generator monitors and AIRGuard product, which remotely monitors and controls industrial air compressors, and its Smart Annunciator product, which is typically sold to commercial customers that require a visual representation of the generator’s status and has a touchscreen display that indicates the current state of that generator. | |
| ● | Cathodic Protection (“CP”). OmniMetrix’s CP services provide remote monitoring and control products for cathodic protection systems on gas pipelines serving the gas utilities market and pipeline operators. The CP product lineup includes solutions to remotely monitor and control rectifiers, test stations and bonds. OmniMetrix also offers the industry’s first RADTM (Remote AC Mitigation Disconnect) that mounts onto existing Solid-state Decouplers in the field and can remotely disconnect/connect these AC mitigation tools, which can drastically reduce a company’s expense while increasing employee safety. |
| 14 |
The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units, offering different products and services, and are managed separately as each business requires different technology and marketing strategies.
The CODM is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
(b) Information about profit or loss and assets
The accounting policies of all the segments are those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance by segment based on revenue (driven by the number of connections), gross profit and net income or loss before taxes.
The Company does not systematically allocate assets to the divisions of the subsidiaries constituting its consolidated group, unless the division constitutes a significant operation. Further, the CODM does not review the assets by segment.
Segment expenses that are routinely provided to the CODM are COGS and R&D expense. R&D expense may be allocated to each segment based on the percentage of segment revenue to total revenue or based on estimated time on dedicated projects within the segment. SG&A expense and interest income is allocated to each segment based on the percentage of segment revenue to total revenue instead of being specifically identified to each segment since the Company’s resources have a high level of shared utilization between the segments.

NOTE 11—REVENUE
Prior to September 1, 2023, sales of OmniMetrix equipment typically did not qualify as a separate unit of accounting. As a result, revenue (and related costs) associated with sale of equipment was recorded to deferred revenue (and deferred cost of goods sold) upon shipment of PG and CP monitoring units. Revenue and related costs with respect to the sale of equipment were recognized over the estimated life of the units which was estimated to be three years. On September 1, 2023, OmniMetrix launched an updated version of its products that includes new functionality in its TrueGuard, AIRGuard, Patriot and Hero products that allows its customers to have options as it relates to obtaining and utilizing the data that is provided by its hardware devices. This new functionality allows for SIM card options, configuration options regarding IP address endpoints and DNS routes, and access to OmniMetrix’s over-the-air data protocol. This product update allows customers to have the option to purchase OmniMetrix’s monitoring service, monitor the products themselves if they have the ability in-house, or choose another monitoring provider if they so desire. OmniMetrix’s prior hardware product version could not function as a distinct product independent from its monitoring services. This new version’s functionality results in OmniMetrix’s hardware and monitoring services being capable of being two distinct products and services. OmniMetrix recognizes revenue, COGS and commissions from the sale of the new version of its hardware products when the product is shipped rather than over the estimated time that the unit is in service for the customer. The remaining balance of deferred hardware revenue from the prior version of these products will continue to be amortized each period until it is fully amortized. The modifications to the circuit boards and embedded firmware of hardware enclosures in inventory as of August 31, 2023 were made such that only the new version of these products was sold subsequent to that date.

BACKLOG
As of June 30, 2025, OmniMetrix had a backlog of $3,669,000, primarily comprised of deferred revenue, of which $3,155,000 is expected to be recognized as revenue in the next twelve months. This compares to a backlog of $4,580,000 at June 30, 2024. Now that we are selling hardware units that are capable of operating distinctly from our monitoring and control software, the hardware backlog will no longer continue to grow and will be fully amortized by August 31, 2026, while the monitoring backlog will continue to be deferred and amortized over the period of service.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On July 23, 2025, we announced that we had received formal approval from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC to uplist our common stock from the OTCQB to the Nasdaq Capital Market. Our common stock commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “ACFN” on July 24, 2025. The uplisting reflects our ongoing efforts to enhance shareholder value, improve liquidity, and increase visibility within the investment community.
On June 19, 2025, 1,250 stock options originally granted to a now-deceased employee under our equity incentive plan were automatically deemed exercised and settled on their expiration date via net exercise, according to their terms. The options consisted of 625 shares at an exercise price of $5.12 and 625 shares at an exercise price of $6.40. As a result of the transaction, 843 net shares were issued to the former employee’s transfer-on-death beneficiary. Subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2025, on July 8, 2025, we repurchased the 843 net shares at the July 7, 2025 closing market price of $17.75 per share. The repurchased shares were added to our treasury stock. This transaction has not been reflected in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2025. However, we have evaluated the transaction and determined that disclosure is appropriate. The transaction did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
On June 1, 2024, we entered into a contract (the “Material Contract”) with one of the nation’s largest cell phone providers to provide monitoring hardware and services. Under the contract, OmniMetrix will provide monitoring devices and related remote monitoring and control services for between 5,000 to 10,000 cell tower backup generators in the U.S. The monitoring hardware and monitoring services, which are being deployed over a one-to-two-year period. Shipping of hardware commenced in the third quarter of 2024 and installation and monitoring services commenced in the fourth quarter of 2024. During the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2025, we recognized $2,214,000 and $1,338,000 in hardware revenue, respectively, and $171,000 and $102,000 in monitoring revenue, respectively, from this contract.

OVERVIEW AND TREND INFORMATION
Acorn Energy, Inc. (“Acorn” or “the Company”) is a holding company focused on technology-driven solutions for energy infrastructure asset management. We provide the following services and products through our OmniMetrixTM, LLC (“OmniMetrix”) subsidiary:
| ● | Power Generation (“PG”). OmniMetrix’s PG services provide wireless remote monitoring and control systems and IoT applications for residential and commercial/industrial power generation equipment. This includes OmniMetrix’s TrueGuard power generator monitors and AIRGuard product, which remotely monitors and controls industrial air compressors, and its Smart Annunciator product, which is typically sold to commercial customers that require a visual representation of the generator’s status and has a touchscreen display that indicates the current state of that generator. | |
| ● | Cathodic Protection (“CP”). OmniMetrix’s CP services provide remote monitoring and control products for cathodic protection systems on gas pipelines serving the gas utilities market and pipeline operators. The CP product lineup includes solutions to remotely monitor and control rectifiers, test stations and bonds. OmniMetrix also offers the industry’s first RADTM (Remote AC Mitigation Disconnect) that mounts onto existing Solid-state Decouplers in the field and can remotely disconnect/connect these AC mitigation tools, which can drastically reduce a company’s expense while increasing employee safety. |
Each of our PG and CP activities represents a reportable segment. The following analysis should be read together with the segment and revenue information provided in Notes 10 and 11 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report.
OmniMetrix
OmniMetrix is a Georgia limited liability company based in Buford, Georgia that develops and markets wireless remote monitoring and control systems and services for multiple markets in the Internet of Things (“IoT”) ecosystem: critical assets (including stand-by power generators, pumps, pumpjacks, light towers, turbines, compressors, and other industrial equipment) as well as cathodic protection for the pipeline industry (gas utilities and pipeline companies). Acorn owns 99% of OmniMetrix with 1% owned by the former CEO of OmniMetrix.
Following the emergence of machine-to-machine (M2M) and IoT applications, whereby companies aggregate multiple sensors and monitors into a simplified dashboard for customers, OmniMetrix believes it plays a key role in this new economic ecosystem. In addition, OmniMetrix sees a rapidly growing need for backup power infrastructure to secure critical military, government, and private sector assets against emergency events including terrorist attacks, natural disasters, cybersecurity threats, and other issues related to the reliability of the electric power grid. As residential and industrial standby generators, turbines, compressors, pumps, pumpjacks, light towers and other industrial equipment are part of the critical infrastructure increasingly monitored in IoT applications and given that OmniMetrix monitors all major brands of critical equipment, OmniMetrix believes it is well-positioned as a competitive participant in this market.
OmniMetrix sells monitoring hardware devices and data monitoring services. On September 1, 2023, we launched an updated version of our products that includes new functionality in our TrueGuard, AIRGuard, Patriot and Hero products that allows our customers to have options as it relates to obtaining and utilizing the data that is provided by our hardware devices. This new functionality allows for SIM card options, configuration options regarding IP address endpoints and DNS routes, and access to our over-the-air data protocol. This product update allows customers to have the option to purchase our monitoring service, monitor the products themselves if they have the ability in-house, or choose another monitoring provider if they so desire, whereas, historically, our standard products only functioned with our monitoring services. The modification to the circuit boards and embedded firmware of hardware enclosures in stock as of August 31, 2023 were made such that only the new version of these products was sold subsequent to that date. Prior to such product modification, revenue (and related costs) associated with sale of equipment was recorded to deferred revenue (and deferred charges) upon shipment for PG and CP monitoring units. This deferred revenue and the deferred cost of the hardware with respect to the sale of new equipment was recognized over the life of the units, which was estimated to be three years. Revenue from hardware sales subsequent to August 31, 2023 is recognized upon shipment or upon acceptance (specific to the Material Contract), instead of being deferred. Revenues from the prepayment of monitoring fees (generally paid in advance) are initially recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt of payment from the customer and then amortized to revenue over the monitoring service period (typically twelve-month, renewable periods).

Critical Accounting Estimates
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that have an impact on the asset, liability, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect our supplemental information disclosures, including information about contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe, given current facts and circumstances, that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, adhere to U.S. GAAP, and are consistently applied. Inherent in the nature of an estimate or assumption is the fact that actual results may differ from estimates and estimates may vary as new facts and circumstances arise. We make routine estimates and judgments in determining net realizable value of accounts receivable, inventories, property and equipment, prepaid expenses, product warranties and other reserves as well as the amortization period for deferred commissions payable. Management believes our most critical accounting estimates and assumptions are in the area of revenue recognition and valuation allowance.
Valuation Allowance
We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability considering historically profitability, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets. The weight given to the positive and negative evidence is commensurate with the extent to which the evidence may be objectively verified.
We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the net amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. The net carrying amount of the Company’s deferred tax assets is based on the Company’s belief that it is more likely than not that the Company will generate sufficient future taxable income in certain jurisdictions to realize these deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets depends upon our ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the future. In forecasting future taxable income, management uses estimates and makes assumptions regarding significant future events, including the timing and number of new hardware sales contracts and associated monitoring revenue. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets, we consider and weigh all available positive and negative evidence, including our past operating results, the existence of cumulative losses in the most recent years and our forecast of future taxable income. When the likelihood of the realization of existing deferred tax assets changes, adjustments to the valuation allowance are charged in the period in which the determination is made. If our estimates and assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record additional valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets, resulting in additional income tax expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations, or conversely to reduce the existing valuation allowance resulting in less income tax expense.
The Company generated a three-year cumulative positive income through December 31, 2024. Based on its earnings, the Company released a portion of its valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets (other than as stated above) during the year ended December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, we believe, based on our projections, that a partial valuation allowance of $11,400,000 continues to be necessary against our deferred tax assets. Uncertainty exists related to the generation of future hardware and monitoring revenue, nonetheless the Company believes sufficient positive evidence exists which supports the partial reversal of the valuation allowance. In recent years, the Company executed new contracts, growing hardware and monitoring revenue which resulted in cumulative pre-tax earnings over the prior three years which we believe is significant positive evidence to support the reversal of valuation allowance during 2024. At this time, however, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in doing so. Accordingly, our management will continue to assess the need for this valuation allowance and will make adjustments when appropriate.
The utilization of the Company’s federal and state net operating losses may be subject to a limitation due to the “change in ownership provisions” under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as well as similar state provisions. Such limitations may result in the expiration of net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards before their utilization. The Company has not completed a study to assess whether an “ownership change” as defined in Section 382 has occurred or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since the Company’s inception. Future changes in the Company’s stock ownership, which may be outside of the Company’s control, may trigger an “ownership change.” In addition, future equity offerings or acquisitions that have equity as a component of the purchase price could result in an “ownership change.” The Company will complete a full analysis of the tax attribute carryforwards prior to any utilization of tax attributes which may be subject to limitation.

Revenue for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
Revenue increased by $2,216,000, or 50.3%, from $4,407,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 to $6,623,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2025. Hardware revenue increased by $1,839,000, or 83.8%, from $2,195,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 to $4,034,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2025. See the reconciliation of hardware revenue below. Monitoring revenue increased by $377,000, or 17.0%, from $2,212,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 to $2,589,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2025. The increase in monitoring revenue was due to an increase in the number of connections being monitored.
As discussed above, OmniMetrix has two reportable segments, PG and CP. Of the $6,623,000 in revenue recognized in the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, $6,247,000 was generated by PG activities and $376,000 was generated by CP activities. This represents an increase in revenue from PG activities of $2,392,000, or 62.0%, from $3,855,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, and a decrease in revenue from CP activities of $176,000, or 31.9%, from $552,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. The increase in PG revenue was due to sales under our Material Contract described above under “Recent Developments.” The decrease in CP revenue was due to fewer Hero2 units being sold in the current-year period
Revenue increased by $1,250,000, or 54.9%, from $2,275,000 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 to $3,525,000 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2025.

Gross margin on hardware revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 was 62.5% compared to 53.2% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. The increase in gross margin on hardware was a result of the product and customer mix of sales during the period. Gross margin on monitoring revenue for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 94.4%.
Gross profit for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 was $2,639,000, reflecting a gross margin of 74.9%, compared with a gross profit for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 of $1,665,000, reflecting a gross margin of 73.2%. Gross margin on hardware revenue for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 was 63.1% compared to 52.9% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024. The increase in gross margin on hardware during the three-month period was a result of same drivers as described above for the six-month period. Gross margin on monitoring revenue for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 was 94.6% compared to 94.5% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024.

Operating expenses for the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
R&D expense. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, R&D expense was $556,000 and $464,000, respectively. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2025, OmniMetrix recorded $265,000 of R&D expense as compared to $226,000 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2024. The increase in R&D expense is related to salary increases granted to our engineering personnel effective October 1, 2024, the hiring of another senior level engineer in November 2024 and the expenses and materials paid to third-party consultants in the continued development of next-generation PG and CP products and exploration into potential new product lines. We expect a moderate increase in R&D expense throughout 2025 for continued investment in work on certain initiatives to launch the next generation of our products and expand product lines to increase our level of innovation ahead of our competitors.
Selling, general and administrative expense. SG&A expense of the consolidated entities in the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 reflected an increase of $402,000, or 16.4%, as compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. OmniMetrix’s SG&A expense increased $251,000, or 13.1%, from $1,922,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 to $2,173,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase of (i) $90,000 in personnel expenses due to staff additions and increases in compensation to our team, (ii) $128,000 in commission expense primarily driven by sales under the Material Contract, (iii) $18,000 in technology fees and expenses, (iv) $12,000 in insurance expenses, (v) a net increase of $29,000 in other operating expenses in the aggregate, offset by a decrease of (vi) $26,000 in travel and trade show expenses. Corporate SG&A expense increased $151,000, or 28.3%, from $534,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 to $685,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2025. This increase was due to an increase of (i) $64,000 in tax professional fees from the preparation of the 2024 income tax provision and the calculations related to the release of the income tax valuation allowance, (ii) $23,000 in audit fees primarily related to the work on the release of the income tax valuation allowance at December 31, 2024, (iii) $59,000 in stock compensation expense and (vi) a net increase of $5,000, in the aggregate, of other public company expenses.
SG&A expense of the consolidated entities in the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 reflected an increase of $246,000, or 20.8%, as compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2024. OmniMetrix’s SG&A expense increased $197,000, or 20.7%, from $952,000 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 to $1,149,000 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase of (i) $48,000 in personnel expenses due to staff additions and increases in compensation to our team, (ii) $100,000 in commission expense primarily driven by sales under the Material Contract, (iii) $39,000 in technology fees and expenses, and (iv) a net increase of $10,000 in other operating expenses in the aggregate. Corporate SG&A expense increased $49,000, or 21.4%, from $229,000 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 to $278,000 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2025. This increase was due to an increase of (i) $17,000 in tax professional fees related to the preparation of our 2024 tax return and our 2025 tax provision, (ii) $23,000 in audit fees primarily related to additional procedures on our tax provision, and (iii) a net increase of $9,000, in the aggregate, of other public company expenses.
Net income attributable to Acorn Energy. We recognized net income attributable to Acorn stockholders of $1,184,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, compared to net income attributable to Acorn stockholders of $336,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. Our net income during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 is comprised of pre-tax net income at OmniMetrix of $2,285,000 less federal taxes of $337,000 and state taxes of $59,000 offset by corporate expenses of $683,000, net of $2,000 in interest income, and the non-controlling interest share of our income from OmniMetrix of $22,000. Our net income during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 is comprised of net income at OmniMetrix of $878,000 offset by corporate expenses of $534,000 and the non-controlling interest share of our income from OmniMetrix of $8,000.
For the three-month period ended June 30, 2025, we recognized net income attributable to Acorn stockholders of $720,000, compared to a net income attributable to Acorn stockholders of $271,000 for the three- month period ended June 30, 2024.

Our net income during the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 is comprised of net income at OmniMetrix of $539,000 offset by corporate expenses of $263,000 and the non-controlling interest share of income from OmniMetrix of $5,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2025, we had working capital of $2,709,000. Our working capital includes $3,253,000 of cash and deferred revenue of $3,155,000. Such deferred revenue does not require a significant cash outlay for the revenue to be recognized.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, our OmniMetrix subsidiary provided cash flow from operations of $1,607,000, while our corporate headquarters used $707,000 for operations during the same period.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, we invested (i) $9,000 in technology, (ii) $7,000 in equipment, (iii) $4,000 in leasehold improvements and (iv) $1,000 in patent acquisition.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, we recognized $48,000 from financing activities in proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
Liquidity
As of August 5, we had cash of $3,428,000. We believe that such cash, plus the cash expected to be generated from operations, will provide sufficient liquidity to finance the corporate activities of Acorn and the operating activities of OmniMetrix at their current level of operations for at least the twelve-month period from the issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report. We may, at some point, elect to obtain a new line of credit or other source of financing to fund additional investments in the business. If we decide to pursue additional financing in the future, it may be in the form of a bank line, a new loan or investment by others, an equity raise by Acorn, which could then facilitate a loan by Acorn to OmniMetrix, or any combination thereof. Whether alternative funds, such as third-party loans or investments, will be available at the time required and on terms acceptable to Acorn and OmniMetrix cannot be determined at this time.

| ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2025.
| 26 |
As noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, we employ a decentralized internal control methodology, coupled with management’s oversight, whereby its subsidiary is responsible for mitigating its risks to financial reporting by implementing and maintaining effective control policies and procedures and subsequently translating that respective risk mitigation up and through to the parent level and to the Company’s external consolidated financial statements. Also, as the Company’s subsidiary is not large enough to effectively mitigate certain risks by segregating incompatible duties, management must employ compensating mechanisms throughout the Company in a manner that is feasible within the constraints it operates.
The material weaknesses management identified were caused by an insufficient complement of resources at the Company’s OmniMetrix subsidiary and limited IT system capabilities, such that individual control policies and procedures could not be implemented, maintained, or remediated when and where necessary. Management identified the following material weaknesses set forth below in our internal control over financial reporting:
| ● | The Company had ineffective design and operation of information technology general controls (ITGCs) over logical access, program change management, and vendor management controls. | |
| ● | The Company had ineffective design and operation of internal controls over financial reporting related to segregation of duties and journal entries. The weakness related to segregation of duties arises due to insufficient segregation of duties within the Company’s ERP system. Specifically, two individuals currently have access to both the recording and approval of financial transactions, which increases the risk of unauthorized adjustments. The weakness related to journal entries stems from the ERP’s functionality that allows users to modify journal entries after they have been posted. This capability creates a risk of unauthorized changes to financial records. | |
| ● | The Company had ineffective design and operation of controls including management review controls, over the Company’s projected financial information within the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance analysis. |
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the latter six months of 2024, we implemented the following (i) provisioning/termination controls with signed and authenticated authorizations, (ii) change controls for development processes that require authorizations, peer review, quality assurance documentation, ticket matching of changes to work authorizations and overall change controls, and (iii) a more detailed review process of our valuation allowance analysis. It is our belief that these added controls, and related actions will effectively remediate the existing material weaknesses detailed in the first and third bullets above. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated, however, until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Other than the remediation actions described above, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
| ITEM 5. | OTHER INFORMATION |
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, none of our directors or officers adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as those terms are defined in Regulation S-K, Item 408.
