1. Description of the Business
Nauticus Robotics, Inc. (the “Company,” “our,” “us” or “we”) is a developer of ocean robots, cloud software and services delivered to the ocean industry. Our principal corporate offices are located in Webster, Texas. Our portfolio includes fully autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), robotic manipulators, an open robotic operating system, and related consulting and prototype services with a strong alignment to offshore energy and national security interests. Our technology solutions enable autonomous operations for both the commercial and defense sectors.
To effectively enter markets dominated by legacy solutions, Nauticus has developed innovative, value-driven technologies. Our flagship autonomous fully electric vehicle, Aquanaut® , provides advantages over conventional tethered ROVs and untethered AUVs. Aquanaut represents the next generation of subsea robotics integrating eight independent thrusters to precisely propel and position a hull design to maximize efficiency and speed high-resolution data collection, and autonomous fully electric manipulation comparable to traditional ROV operations. Nauticus ToolKITT™ is a sophisticated software platform that governs Nauticus’ suite of robotic products. It enables robots to perceive their environment, navigate in three dimensions, make autonomous decisions, and execute tasks with minimal human intervention. Nauticus ToolKITT has been deployed on third party commercial ROVs and competing robotic platforms, enhancing Nauticus’ ability to offer advanced inspection and intervention services. This software also plays a critical role in next-generation inspection services, a key industry need for ensuring the integrity of subsea pipelines and offshore infrastructure. The Olympic Arm™ is a fully electric subsea manipulator designed for complex intervention tasks on both work-class ROVs and Aquanaut. Its patented electric actuators replace traditional hydraulic systems.
The strategic acquisition of SeaTrepid International LLC (“SeaTrepid”), finalized on March 20, 2025, intends to integrate Nauticus AI-driven autonomy software, Nauticus ToolKITT, into SeaTrepid's existing remotely operated vehicle (ROV) fleet. The combination will showcase unprecedented advancements in power efficiency and operational performance across the industry. The ability of ROVs and Aquanaut to seamlessly communicate at depth unlocks new service opportunities, enabling two autonomous systems to collaborate in delivering cutting-edge underwater solutions.
Liquidity – The Company continues to develop its principal products and conduct research and development activities. Currently, the Company does not generate sufficient revenue to cover operating expenses, working capital and capital expenditures. The Company has embarked on cost-cutting measures to continue to preserve cash. The Company may require additional liquidity to continue its operations over the next twelve months, which a current investor has continued to commit to support. The Company believes with this investor support that there will be sufficient resources to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q are issued.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation – The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, unless otherwise disclosed) necessary for a fair statement of the condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ deficit for each period presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The 2024 year-end consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 to Nauticus Robotics, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC

(UNAUDITED)
for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no significant changes to these policies which have had a material impact on the Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the (i) estimates of future costs to complete customer contracts recognized over time, (ii) valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets, (iii) valuation of stock-based compensati on awards and (iv) the valuation of conversion options, warrants and earnouts, (v) fair value of the November 2024 Debentures and new convertible debentures, and (vi) the fair value of the SeaTrepid acquisition. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company classifies all highly-liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000. Historically, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. There were no
Restricted Certificates of Deposit – The Company has restricted certificates of deposit of $53,411 and $52,151 , held by a bank on our behalf as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively which relate to a guarantee against corporate credit cards.
Accounts Receivable, Unbilled Revenues, and Allowance for Credit Losses - With the adoption of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), accounts receivable and contract assets are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not typically bear interest. The Company regularly monitors and assesses its risk of not collecting amounts owed by customers. At each balance sheet date, the Company recognizes an expected allowance for credit losses. In addition, at each reporting date, this estimate is updated to reflect any changes in credit risk since the receivable was initially recorded. This estimate is calculated on a pooled basis where similar risk characteristics exist. If applicable, accounts receivable and contract assets are evaluated individually when they do not share similar risk characteristics which could exist in circumstances where amounts are considered at risk or uncollectible.
The allowance estimate is derived from a review of the Company’s historical losses based on the aging of receivables. This estimate is adjusted for management’s assessment of current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts regarding future events, and any other factors deemed relevant by the Company. The Company believes historical loss information is a reasonable starting point in which to calculate the expected allowance for credit losses as the Company’s portfolio segments have remained constant since the Company’s inception.
Assets Held For Sale ("AHFS") – Long-lived assets identified as assets held for sale are categorized on the balance sheet as current assets and are measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any liabilities associated with the assets being sold are categorized on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as current liabilities. AHFS are no longer depreciated or amortized.
Property and Equipment – Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method. Expenditures which extend the useful lives of existing property and equipment are capitalized. Those costs which do not extend the useful lives are expensed as incurred. Upon disposition, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed and any gain or loss on the disposal is reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Segment Reporting – Our operations represent a single reportable segment because each revenue stream possesses similar production methods, distribution methods, and customer quality and consumption characteristics, resulting in similar long-term expected financial performance. The CODM is the Company's Chief Executive Officer. The CODM primarily assesses performance of the Company based upon consolidated net profit or loss, which is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it reflects ongoing profitability. Segment assets are measured and reviewed on a consolidated basis and are presented as total consolidated assets on the face of the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The significant expenses regularly reviewed by the CODM are limited to the line items presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, and no further disaggregation is provided for segment review purposes. The CODM reviews the condensed consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated statement of operations on a quarterly basis as a single reportable segment and uses this financial information in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance.
Revenue – Our primary sources of revenue are from providing technology, engineering services and products to the offshore industry and governmental entities. Revenue is generated pursuant to contractual arrangements to design and develop subsea robots and software and to provide related engineering, technical, and other services according to the specifications of the customers. These contracts can be service sales (cost plus fixed fee or firm fixed price) or product sales and typically have terms of up to 18 months. The Company had no
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer distinct goods or services to a customer. For all contracts, we assess if there are multiple promises that should be accounted for as separate performance obligations or combined into a single performance obligation. We generally separate multiple promises in a contract as separate performance obligations if those promises are distinct, both individually and in the context of the contract. If multiple promises in a contract are highly interrelated or require significant integration or customization within a group, they are combined and accounted for as a single performance obligation.
Our performance obligations under service agreements generally are satisfied over time as the service is provided. Revenue under these contracts is recognized over time using an input measure of progress (typically costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion). This requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions to estimate contract sales and costs associated with its contracts with customers. At the outset of a long-term contract, the Company identifies risks to the achievement of the technical, schedule and cost aspects of the contract. Throughout the contract term, on at least a quarterly basis, we monitor and assess the effects of those risks on its estimates of sales and total costs to complete the contract. Changes in these estimates could have a material effect on our results of operations. Where the current estimate of total costs at completion for contracts exceeds the total consideration we expect to receive we recognize the entire expected loss in the period that becomes evident. Estimated contract costs include costs that relate directly to the contract including direct labor, direct materials, and allocations of certain overhead costs.
Firm-fixed price contracts present the risk of unreimbursed cost overruns, potentially resulting in lower-than-expected contract profits and margins. This risk is generally lower for cost plus fixed fee contracts which, consequently, often have a lower margin.
Inventories – The inventories comprise raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods, as applicable, and are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Work in progress and finished goods inventories include raw materials, direct labor and production overhead. The Company periodically reviews inventories on hand and current market conditions to determine if the cost of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods inventories exceed current market prices and impairs the cost basis of the inventory accordingly. The associated impairment is charged as a standalone expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Obsolete inventory or inventory in excess of management’s estimated usage requirement is written down to its net realizable value if those amounts are determined to be less than cost. The associated write-downs or write-offs of inventory are charged to cost of sales.

Leases – The Company’s lease arrangements are operating leases which are capitalized on the balance sheet as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and obligations. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. These are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of payments over the lease term. If leases do not provide for an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term as the lease payments. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less ("short term leases") are not recorded on the balance sheet; and the lease expense on short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Stock-Based Compensation – The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation using the fair value method. Compensation cost for equity incentive awards is based on the fair value of the equity instrument generally on the date of grant and is recognized over the requisite service period. The Company’s policy is to issue new shares upon the exercise or conversion of options and recognize option forfeitures as they occur.
Income Taxes – Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax asset (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which a change in judgment occurs. The Company had no material uncertain income tax positions as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Foreign Currency Translation – Prior to January 1, 2025, all assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company's foreign subsidiary, whose functional currency is the Brazilian Real, were translated at period-end exchange rates. All revenues and expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, of this foreign subsidiary, were translated at average exchange rates for the period. Translation gains and losses were not included on determining net loss but were shown in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Effective January 1, 2025, the functional currency for the Company's foreign subsidiary was changed from Brazilian Real to U.S. dollars due to changes in operational and economic circumstances. The previously recorded cumulative translation adjustment in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income as of the date of the change remains in equity and will not be reclassified to earnings unless the subsidiary is sold or liquidated. The change was accounted for prospectively.
Foreign Currency Gains and Losses – Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included on determining net loss. The Company purchases certain materials and equipment from foreign companies and these transactions are generally denominated in the vendors’ local currency. The Company recorded $48,807 and $52,348 of foreign currency transaction losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 respectively. The Company recorded $11,833 and $21,276 of foreign currency transaction losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

Common Stock Warrants – We account for common stock warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance. This assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments, meet the definition of a liability or requirements for equity classification, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s Common Stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
We have determined that the Public and Private warrants should be accounted for as liabilities. The Public and Private Warrants were initially recorded at their estimated fair value. They are then revalued at each reporting date thereafter, with changes in the fair value reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The fair value of the Private Warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model (a Level 3 measurement). The Public Warrants are valued using their publicly-traded price at each measurement date (a Level 1 measurement).
We have determined that the Securities Purchase Agreement ("SPA") Warrants should be accounted for as liabilities. The SPA Warrants were initially recorded at their estimated fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date thereafter, with changes in the fair value reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified in our balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The fair value of the Original SPA Warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model (a Level 3 measurement).
Fair Value Election for New Convertible Debentures and November 2024 Debentures - The Company has elected to measure its new 5 % Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the "New Convertible Debentures") and the 2 % Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the "November 2024 Debentures") at fair value under the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments – Fair Value Option. This election was made to provide greater transparency and to more accurately reflect the economic value of the New Convertible Debentures and November 2024 Debentures in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Under the fair value option, the New Convertible Debentures and the November 2024 Debentures are recorded at their estimated fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings within "Other (income) expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the New Convertible Debentures and November 2024 Debentures are determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model that uses inputs such as the Company’s stock price (KITT), stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and conversion terms.
As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the New Convertible Debentures was $0 compared to an initial fair value of 99,195,791 as of January 30, 2024, as a result of the New Convertible Debentures being exchanged to Series A Preferred stock on December 27, 2024 and December 31, 2024.
November 2024 Debentures
The November 2024 Debentures were estimated to have a fair value of $2,711,954 and $2,583,832 as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The fair value option eliminates the requirement to separately account for embedded conversion features that would otherwise be bifurcated under ASC 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging – Embedded Derivatives. Instead, all economic impacts of the New Convertible Debentures and November 2024 Debentures—including interest, conversion features, and market fluctuations—are captured in the fair value measurement.
The Company believes that the fair value measurement provides a more relevant representation of the liability’s impact on financial position and performance, as it reflects the new convertible debentures’ current economic value and reduces potential measurement inconsistencies.
Earnout Shares – Following the closing of the Merger between CleanTech, Merger Sub and Nauticus Robotics Holdings on September 9, 2022, former holders of shares of Nauticus Robotics Holdings Inc.’s Common Stock are entitled to receive their pro-rata share of Earnout Shares which are held in escrow. The Earnout Shares will be released upon the occurrence

of a triggering event within 5 years of the issue date (see Note 13, "Equity"). The Earnout Shares are considered legally issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock subject to restrictions on transfer and potential forfeiture pending the achievement of the Earnout targets. The Company evaluated the Earnout Shares and concluded that they meet the criteria for equity classification. The Earnout Shares were classified in stockholders’ equity, recognized at fair value upon issuance and will not be subsequently remeasured. A Monte Carlo valuation model (a Level 3 measurement) determined their estimated fair value upon issuance.
Capitalized Interest – The Company capitalizes interest costs incurred to work in progress during the related construction periods. Capitalized interest is charged to cost of revenue when the related completed project is delivered to the buyer. The Company did not
Earnings (Loss) per Share – Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that could have been outstanding assuming the exercise of stock options and warrants (determined using the treasury stock method) and conversion of convertible debt. The Earnout Shares, which are subject to forfeiture if the achievement of certain stock price thresholds is not met, are not considered participating securities and are not included in the weighted-average shares outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings (loss) per share.
Major Customer and Concentration of Credit Risk – We have a limited number of customers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, sales to four customers accounted for 64 % of total revenue. Sales to Customer A accounted for 24 % of total revenue, sales to Customer B accounted for 14 % of total revenue, sales to Customer C accounted for 13 % of total revenue and sales to Customer D accounted for 13 % of the total revenue. The total balance due from these customers as of September 30, 2025, comprised 74 % of accounts receivable, net. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, sales to three customers accounted for 91 % of total revenue. Sales to Customer E accounted for 36 % of total revenue, sales to Customer F accounted for 33 % of total revenue and sales to Customer G accounted for 22 % of total revenue. The total balance due from these customers as of December 31, 2024 comprised 16 % of accounts receivable, net. Loss of these customers could have a material adverse impact on the Company.
Accounting Standards Issued but not adopted as of September 30, 2025 – In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, an update that improves income statement expense disclosure requirements. Under ASU 2024-03, issuers will be required to incorporate new tabular disclosures disaggregating prescribed expense categories within relevant income statement captions in the notes to their financial statements. These categories include purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and should be applied prospectively. The adoption of ASU 2024-03 will require us to provide additional disclosures related to certain income statement expenses, but otherwise will not materially impact our financial statements.
All other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued, but not yet effective are currently being evaluated and at this time are not expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

November 2024 Debentures
On November 4, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with ATW, pursuant to which ATW purchased, in a private placement, $1,150,000 in principal amount of debentures, with an option to purchase up to an additional aggregate of $20,000,000 in principal amount of original issue discount senior secured convertible debentures (the “November 2024 Debentures”). On December 11, 2024, ATW purchased, in a private placement, $1,000,000 in principal amount of debentures. The November 2024 Debentures feature an original issue discount of 2 % and incurred legal fees of $190,000 which were expensed through the consolidated statement of operations as the debt is being fair valued.
The November 2024 Debentures provide for, among other items: (a) an interest rate of the Prime Rate published in the Wall Street Journal plus 2 % per annum, payable quarterly and added to the principal amount of the November 2024 Debentures, and/or in cash, at the Company’s option; (b) conversion by the holder into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at any time (subject to limitations on conversion described therein); (c) a conversion price of $8.26 (subject to adjustment as provided therein) with shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable on conversion determined by dividing 120 % of the applicable “conversion amount” (as defined in the November 2024 Debentures) by the conversion price; (d) an alternate conversion price at the lower of (1) $8.26 (subject to adjustment as provided therein) and (2) the greater of a floor price of $1.652 (subject to adjustment as provided therein) and 98 % of the lowest VWAP of the Company’s shares of Common Stock during the applicable 10 -trading day period (subject to payment in cash if the applicable VWAP calculation is less than the floor price); (e) a maturity date of September 9, 2026, and (f) an option by the holder to extend the maturity date by an additional year.
In addition, the exercise price of the November 2024 Debentures is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, and, in the case of a subsequent equity sale at a per share price below the exercise price, the exercise price will be adjusted to such lower price.
The fair value of the November 2024 Debentures at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was estimated at $2,711,954 and $2,583,832 , respectively, using Monte Carlo simulations with the following assumptions at September 30, 2025: stock price of $2.88 , a risk free rate of 3.70 % implied volatility of 172 % and a remaining term of 0.94 years and assumptions at December 31, 2024: stock price of $13.95 , a risk free rate of 4.22 % implied volatility of 138 % and a remaining term of 1.69 years. A gain on change in fair value of $407,938 and a loss of $128,122 was reported in the

condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The principal amount of the November 2024 Debentures at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $2,150,000
Convertible Secured Debentures
On September 9, 2022, we issued Debentures, secured debt instruments, which featured a 2 % original issue discount, in an aggregate principal amount of $36,530,320 , together with 2,922,425 associated warrants ("Original SPA Warrants"), for gross proceeds of $35,800,000 . The fair value of the Original SPA Warrants was estimated to be $20,949,110 using a Monte Carlo valuation model incorporating future projections of the various potential outcomes and any exercise price adjustments based on future financing events. This amount was recorded as a warrant liability and, together with the original issue discount, was recognized as a debt discount upon issuance totaling $21,679,716 . The debt discount was being amortized to interest expense over the four-year term of the Debentures.
New Convertible Debentures
On January 30, 2024, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries and ATW Special Situations I LLC ("ATW I") entered into an Amendment and Exchange Agreement (the “Amendment and Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which ATW I transferred its existing 5 % Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debenture to the Company in exchange for a new Original Issue Discount Exchanged Senior Secured Convertible Debenture due September 9, 2026 (the “New Debenture”) in the aggregate principal amount of $29,591,600 . The Amendment and Exchange Agreement provides for certain amendments to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated December 16, 2021, as amended, and contains certain covenants of the Company to, among other items, hold one or more stockholder meetings in respect of the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the New Debentures and obtain certain voting agreements related thereto. In addition, on January 30, 2024, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into additional Amendment and Exchange Agreements with Material Impact Fund II, L.P. ("MIF") and SLS Family Irrevocable Trust ("SLS") on substantially similar terms, pursuant to which MIF and SLS transferred their existing 5 % Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debentures to the Company in exchange for New Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $5,102,000 and $1,836,720 , respectively.
The New Debentures provide for, among other items: (a) an interest rate of 5 % per annum, payable quarterly in shares of the Company’s common stock (if the conditions described therein are met) and/or in cash, at the Company’s option; (b) conversion by the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time (subject to limitations on conversion described therein); (c) a conversion price of $0.4582 , on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis, (subject to adjustment as provided therein) with shares of the Company’s common stock issuable on conversion determined by dividing 120 % of the applicable “conversion amount” (as defined in the New Debenture) by the conversion price; (d) prior to the date of sale of the Company’s common stock (or equivalents) in one or in a series of transactions resulting in net cash proceeds to the Company of at least $30 million an alternate conversion price at the lower of (1) $0.4582 , on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis, (subject to adjustment as provided therein) and (2) the greater of a floor price of $0.0878 , on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis, (subject to adjustment as provided therein) and 98 % of the lowest volume-weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Company’s shares of commons stock during the applicable 10 -trading day period (subject to payment in cash if the applicable VWAP calculation is less than the floor price), and an interest conversion rate of 90 % of such alternate conversion price; and (e) an option by the holder to extend the maturity date by an additional year.
On the closing of the Amendment and Exchange Agreement the existing 5 % Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debentures were extinguished. The Company has elected to measure the new convertible debentures at fair value under the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments – Fair Value Option which eliminates the requirement to separately account for embedded conversion features that would otherwise be bifurcated under ASC 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging – Embedded Derivatives. The new convertible debentures were measured at a fair value of $99,195,791 as of January 30, 2024, estimated using Monte Carlo simulations with the following assumptions: stock price of $16.52 , a risk free rate of 4.23 %, implied volatility of 121 % and a remaining term of 2.61 years. A loss on extinguishment of debt of $78,734,949 was reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The fair value of the New Convertible Debentures at September 30, 2024 was estimated at $53,222,499 using Monte Carlo simulations with the following assumptions: stock price of $1.41 , a risk free rate of 4.11 %, implied volatility of 123 % and a remaining term of 1.94 years. A gain on change in fair value $24,199,071

Second Amendment and Exchange Agreement
On November 4, 2024, the Company entered into the Second Amendment and Exchange Agreement by and among the Company and ATW I, SLS and MIF pursuant to which such investors would exchange the remaining portion of the amount outstanding under the New Convertible Debentures and certain other amounts outstanding with respect thereto, into shares of Series A Preferred Stock (see Note 13 - "Equity").
On December 27, 2024, the Company and ATW I closed the exchange transaction, and the Company issued 27,588 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to ATW I in exchange for a principal value of $16,672,369 and other amounts outstanding of $10,915,974 . On December 31, 2024, the Company issued 2,504 and 5,342 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to SLS and MIF in exchange for principal values of $0 and $5,102,000 and other amounts outstanding of $2,504,440 and $240,219 , respectively.
RCB Equities #1, LLC
On July 14, 2023, the Company issued a secured promissory note to RCB Equities #1, LLC (RCB) for $5,000,000 . The promissory note included a 2.5 % original issue discount or $125,000 , interest at 15 % per annum, and was scheduled to mature on September 9, 2026. The promissory note provided for an exit fee of $125,000 if paid off in full between October 12, 2023, and the maturity date, with no other considerations triggered for premiums or penalties. Further, the promissory note provided for an automatic rollover into the structure of certain future debt-financing transactions. On September 18, 2023, the RCB promissory note was rolled into the convertible senior secured term loan discussed below bearing interest at 12.5 % per annum including the $125,000 exit fee.
Convertible Senior Secured Term Loan
On September 18, 2023, the Company entered into a convertible senior secured term loan agreement, the "2023 Term Loan Agreement", with ATW Special Situations II LLC ("ATW II") as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) and lender, and Transocean Finance Limited, ATW I, MIF, and RCB, as lenders.
The 2023 Term Loan Agreement provides the Company with up to $20 million of secured term loans. Any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the loans is prepayable at the Company’s option pro rata to each Lender upon at least 5 days' prior written notice to each Lender.
The initial amount funded under the 2023 Term Loan Agreement was $11,600,000 , (the "2023 Term Loan"). The 2023 Term Loan Agreement included a 2.5 % exit fee of $290,000 , bearing interest at 12.50 % per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter commencing April 1, 2024. The exit fee is being provided for over the period of the loan. The loan agreement included a 2.5 % original issue discount of $125,000 from the RCB promissory note. The loan includes assumed debt issuance costs of $577,500 and deemed interest from convertible debentures of $378,118 . The debt discount and debt issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the period of the loan. The Loans will mature on the earliest of (a) the third anniversary of the date of the 2023 Term Loan Agreement of September 17, 2026, (b) 91 days prior to the maturity of the 5 % Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debentures, dated as of September 9, 2022.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2023 Term Loan Agreement, the Company may, upon at least two trading days’ written notice to the Lenders, elect to redeem some or all of the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans. In connection with any such election, which shall be irrevocable, the Company shall pay each Lender, on a pro rata basis, an amount in cash equal to the greater of (x) the sum of (i) 100 % of the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans, (ii) accrued but unpaid interest and (iii) all liquidated damages and other amounts due in respect of the Loans (including, without limitation, the Exit Fee (as defined in the 2023 Term Loan Agreement)) (the “Optional Redemption Amount”) and (y) the product of (i) the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), then issuable upon conversion of the applicable Optional Redemption Amount (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in the 2023 Term Loan Agreement) multiplied by (ii) the highest closing sale price of

the Common Stock on any trading day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding the date that the applicable notice of redemption is delivered to the Lenders and ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date the Company makes the entire payment required to be made in connection with such redemption.

default. As a result of this and as the Company intends to repay the loan on or before December 31, 2025, the outstanding loan balance has been classified as a current liability.
Ameristate Loan
On August 17, 2017, SeaTrepid entered into a term loan with AmeriState Bank. The loan amount was $2,335,000 with an annual interest rate of prime plus 2.5 %, and a maturity date of May 4, 2036. In connection with the acquisition of SeaTrepid on March 20, 2025, the loan with an outstanding principal of $1,891,335 as of September 30, 2025 is now an obligation of the Company.

8. Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception based on whether the Company has the right to control the use of an identified asset, the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset. After the criteria are satisfied, the Company accounts for these arrangements as leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, including payments at commencement that depend on an index or rate. For leases in which the Company is the lessee and do not have a readily determinable implicit rate, an incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at the lease commencement date, is utilized to determine the present value of lease payments. When a secured borrowing rate is not readily available, unsecured borrowing rates are adjusted for the effects of collateral to determine the incremental borrowing rate. The Company uses the implicit rate for agreements in which it is a lessor. The Company has not entered into any material agreements in which it is a lessor. Lease expense and lease income are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term for operating leases.
In March 2024, the Company extended the lease on its current office and manufacturing facility for an additional 3 years. The incremental borrowing rate on this lease of 8 % was used to determine the present value of lease payments and establish the right-of-use asset and lease liability at lease inception for this lease.
In August 2023, the Company entered into an operating lease for office space in Norway. The lease has a term of 5 years. The Company’s secured borrowing rate of 15 % was used to determine the present value of the lease payments and establish the right-of-use asset and lease liability at lease inception for this lease. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company agreed with the lessor to reduce the size of the office space leased and a gain on lease termination of $15,721 was reported under other (income) expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
In July 2023, the Company entered into an operating lease for office space in Scotland. The lease has a term of 5 years with two options to extend. The Company’s secured borrowing rate of 15 % was used to determine the present value of the lease payments and establish the right-of-use asset and lease liability at lease inception for this lease. During the first quarter of

10. Business Combination
On March 20, 2025, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and certain specified liabilities of SeaTrepid, an expert in providing subsea robotic services to customers throughout the world, for a total consideration of $14.4 million. The acquisition aligns with the Company’s long-term growth strategy and expands its presence in the offshore market. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805 because the acquired assets and liabilities met the definition of a business, which includes inputs, processes, and outputs capable of generating revenue.
$3.95 million of the total consideration was paid in cash at closing and the remaining purchase price (excluding the contingent consideration) was due on or before September 30, 2025 per the asset purchase agreement. The Company and counterparty mutually agreed to defer the payment, with the settlement now scheduled for November 2025. The deferred amount is recorded in accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025 and will be settled in cash.
The acquisition of SeaTrepid includes a contingent consideration arrangement in which the Company agreed to issue shares of its common stock to the sellers of SeaTrepid, subject to the achievement of $4 million of business revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025. In accordance with the asset purchase agreement executed on March 5, 2025, the number of earnout shares is equal to $5.5 million divided by the Minimum Price, as defined under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d), determined as of the date of the asset purchase agreement. The Company calculated the number of earnout shares equals 671,544 shares, based on a Minimum Price of $8.19 as of the date of execution of the asset purchase agreement. At the acquisition date, the Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration to be approximately $6.9 million, which is included in the total consideration transferred for the business combination. The contingent consideration is classified as equity in accordance with ASC 815-40, as it will be settled in a fixed number of shares and does not meet the definition of a derivative or liability. As such, it will not be remeasured in future periods.
As part of the acquisition agreement, the purchase price is subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment. Based on the closing balance sheet, a working capital shortfall of approximately $0.5 million was identified and reduced the total purchase consideration.
The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to acquire SeaTrepid and preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date:

For additional details on the fair value measurement of the acquired assets and liabilities, including the valuation techniques used, see Note 19 Fair Value Measurements.
The results of SeaTrepid's operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, SeaTrepid contributed approximately $4,181,918 in revenue and $1,666,453 in net income.

The goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired and is attributable to expected synergies and the assembled workforce. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
As of September 30, 2025, goodwill totaled $10,652,389 . The Company did no t have any goodwill recorded on its balance sheet prior to this acquisition.

For every 324 Public Warrants, the holder is entitled to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 , subject to adjustment. However, no Public Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless we have an effective and current registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within 120 days of September 9, 2022, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise, subject to the terms of the governing warrant agreement, Public Warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. The Public Warrants expire on September 9, 2027, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Our Public Warrants are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “KITTW”.
We may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants, in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:

•upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder,

•if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30 -day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.
If we call the Public Warrants for redemption as described above, we have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.”
The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.

19. Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures and reports certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The three levels related to fair value measurements are as follows:
| Level 1 – | Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |||||||
| Level 2 – | Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. | |||||||
| Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. | |||||||
The estimated fair values of accounts receivable, contract assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and indebtedness with unrelated parties approximate their carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturity or time to maturity of these instruments. Notes payable with related parties may not be arms-length transactions and therefore may not reflect fair value.
The fair value of the November 2024 Debentures are measured at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement, using a Monte Carlo simulation model. This model incorporates Level 3 inputs, including, current stock price, stock price volatility (historical and implied), risk free interest rate (U.S. Treasury rates), and expected term to maturity. The fair value measurement is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs. At September 30, 2025, the following assumptions were used in order to estimate the fair value of the November 2024 Debentures: stock price of $2.88 , a risk free rate of 3.70 %, implied volatility of 172 % and a remaining term of 0.94 years.
The fair value of the Public, Private and SPA Warrants are measured at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820-10. The Public Warrants were valued based on their publicly-traded price. The Private and SPA Warrants are considered Level 3 measurements as they involve significant unobservable inputs.
In connection with the acquisition of SeaTrepid on March 20, 2025, the Company measured the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value in accordance to ASC 820-10. The fair value of land and buildings acquired were measured using the market approach and considered Level 2 measurements as observable inputs from comparable sales were used. Machinery and equipment acquired were measured using cost approach and considered Level 3 measurements due to the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value of the earnout shares related to the acquisition were measured using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The model incorporates Level 3 inputs, including stock price of $10.26 , stock price volatility of 99.9 %, revenue volatility of 101.4 %, risk free rate of 4.15 % and a remaining term of 0.78 years.
The fair value of notes payable acquired approximated their carrying values at the acquisition date as the Company plans to pay off the notes in the short term. The fair values of working capital items, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximated their carrying values at the acquisition date due to their short-term nature. These items are not presented in the table below.
In connection with the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock on August 6, 2025, the Company measured the fair value of the Series A Preferred stock using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Consistent with the guidance in ASC 260-10-S99-2, the valuation incorporated two separate simulations: (a) the fair value of the instrument assuming the pre-reset conversion price ($11.07 per share post-reverse stock split), and (b) the fair value of the instrument assuming the reduced conversion price resulting from the down-round trigger ($8.26 per share post-reverse stock split). All other model inputs, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, volatility, and risk-free interest rate, were held constant between the two simulations. The incremental fair value resulting from the difference between these two measurements represents the value transferred due to the down-round feature and was recognized in the period’s fair-value remeasurement.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
Nauticus Robotics, Inc. (the “Company,” “our,” “us” or “we”) is a developer of ocean robots, cloud software and intelligent services that transform operations in offshore energy, environmental monitoring, and defense. Our principal corporate offices are located in Webster, Texas. Our portfolio includes fully autonomous underwater vehicles ("AUVs"), remotely operated vehicles (“ROVs”) electric robotic manipulators, and the Nauticus ToolKITT™ software platform. Our technology solutions position us at the forefront of the global shift toward autonomy.
Our flagship autonomous vehicle, Aquanaut®, provides advantages over conventionally tethered ROVs and traditional AUVs. Leveraging advanced thruster configurations, a streamlined hull, and integrated electric manipulation, Aquanaut® performs complex subsea tasks with efficiency, precision, and minimal surface support. Nauticus ToolKITT™—our intelligent control and autonomy software—extends this capability across platforms, enabling robots to sense, decide, and act autonomously. Nauticus ToolKITT™ has already been deployed on third-party ROVs and is gaining traction as a transformative solution for inspection, maintenance, and intervention services. The Olympic Arm™ is a fully electric subsea manipulator designed for complex intervention tasks on both work-class ROVs and Aquanaut® . Its patented electric actuators replace traditional hydraulic systems. These technologies, coupled with the integration of the SeaTrepid acquisition in March 2025, position Nauticus at the forefront of the industry’s shift toward autonomy.
Recent Developments
We continued into the second half of 2025 with significant momentum, strengthened by both strategic execution and market adoption:
•Operational Deployments – Our ROV fleet remained utilized during the quarter. The ROV assigned to a drill ship completed its project and redeployed to the U.S. Northeast to perform offshore wind‑farm inspections at the beginning of August followed by additional work in the Gulf of America to finish out the quarter. Our second ROV remained in the Gulf of America completing work for Oil and Gas producers and environmental contractors while also supporting Aquanaut testing and operations. We completed projects for nine different customers in the Gulf of America, underscoring strong demand for our services. Aquanaut Vehicle 2 completed all operational readiness requirements and performed open water testing in the quarter.
•Industry Recognition – In late August, Aquanaut reached a new depth record of 2,300 meters off the coast of Louisiana, without a tether. This qualification test yielded valuable data on Aquanaut and Nauticus ToolKITT™, particularly regarding acoustic‑communication in ultra‑deep water. These results validated the robustness of our underwater communications strategy and confirmed that the current 2,300‑meter capability covers roughly 90% of global oil‑and‑gas fields. We plan to continue testing down to the Aquanaut design depth of 3,000 meters when market demand warrants.
•Integration Progress – SeaTrepid integration is delivering tangible results. The combined ROV and Aquanaut® fleet is enabling us to engage a broader customer base, increase utilization, and expand into new geographies.
•Customer and pipeline updates – Market response to our expanded service offerings remains overwhelmingly positive. Oil‑and‑gas and environmental‑agency customers are requesting operational windows on our Gulf Coast schedule. Customers continue to approach us for additional commercial work and also to sponsor additional testing and development to further expand our value proposition.
Market Environment and Outlook
The offshore energy market remains robust, with vessel and subsea asset utilization in the Gulf of America near multi-year highs. While the North American offshore wind sector experienced temporary delays due to policy shifts, recent easing of restrictions has revived select opportunities, and we are actively mobilizing for new wind-farm projects.
40
Adoption of autonomous subsea robotics is accelerating, driven by customer priorities around safety, efficiency, and data quality. Energy operators are increasingly leading this innovation push, creating tailwinds for advanced solutions like Aquanaut® and Nauticus ToolKITT™.
Defense sector engagement is also gaining momentum, with increased activity at the prime contractor level. While awards typically flow first to larger primes, we are strategically positioned through partnerships, such as our alliance with Leidos, to participate in future contracts.
Overall, our near-term pipeline is stronger than ever, supported by active contracts, prospective projects in multiple basins, and international interest in our autonomous services.
Operational Performance and Product Advancement
Service revenue in the quarter was fueled by SeaTrepid’s ROV operations. Cross‑selling momentum continues: SeaTrepid’s longstanding customers are expressing interest in our autonomous solutions, while Nauticus’ existing customers are contracting ROV services for both oil‑and‑gas and environmental projects. The integration of the SeaTrepid fleet and workforce has enabled higher utilization and broadened our geographic reach.
Aquanaut® achieved several milestones during the quarter. Vehicle 2 has shown to be operationally ready and deepwater qualification tests pushed the platform to 2,300 meters. Data from these tests are guiding software and engineering improvements and expanding our technical lead in untethered operations.
Nauticus ToolKITT™ commercialization remains on track. The software has been exercised extensively during deepwater tests, and in testing at our location in Florida. Following the quarter end we deployed Nauticus ToolKITT™ on our two Comanche ROV’s performing pool and open water tests and completing our first commercial operation by deploying our autonomy stack on a third-party ROV. This is advancing commercial discussions with existing and new clients.
Finally, the Olympic Arm™ program continues to mature. Market demand for a compact, fully electric manipulator remains strong, and we intend to capitalize on that demand as development proceeds.
Conclusion
The third quarter of 2025 reflects continued momentum and execution. We expanded our operational footprint, achieved new deepwater milestones with Aquanaut® and demonstrated reliable ultra‑deepwater communications. Customer demand remains robust across oil‑and‑gas, wind and environmental sectors, and our services pipeline is healthy. With a strong team, a differentiated technology suite, and growing market acceptance, Nauticus is poised to lead the next phase of subsea autonomy and create long‑term value for our stakeholders.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Certain of our accounting estimates are important to the portrayal of our financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Please refer to “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” contained in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, for a complete discussion of our critical accounting estimates.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Interim Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2025, as a result of the previously disclosed material weakness discussed below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. In light of this fact, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, have performed additional analyses, reconciliations, and other post-closing procedures in order to conclude that, notwithstanding such material weakness, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP as of the dates and for the periods presented in this Form 10-Q.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, as amended. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Previously identified material weakness. In 2021, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in the standards established by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This material weakness related to a lack of qualified accounting and financial reporting personnel with an appropriate level of experience and inadequate procedures for the accounting close process including obtaining information supporting significant accounting estimates and judgments affecting the financial statements on a timely basis.
Through the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, we continued to implement remediation initiatives in response to the previously identified material weakness, including, but not limited to, hiring additional experienced accounting and financial reporting personnel and modifying a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System which assisted in the automation of processes, including standardizing workflows, enhancing segregation of duties, and ensuring compliance with policies. As a result of the significant turnover of key finance personnel at the end of 2023 and limited handover to the new finance team, we concluded there was a gap in the implementation of the above remediation initiatives.
In 2024, the Company identified material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting related to: (1) ineffective design and operation of controls over significant complex transactions, which resulted in restatements of all
44
interim periods of 2024 and (2) failure to remediate previously reported material weakness over ineffective design and operation of user access controls.
Remediation Plan. The company continues to implement remediation actions, including: (1) establishing a formal Significant and Complex Transaction review process that will identify transactions that should be reviewed by third party experts to ensure proper treatment and (2) enhancing user access controls and proper segregation of duties for all critical accounting systems, supported by formal policies and training for all Information Technology personnel. This will be fully implemented by the end of 2025.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025, except as described above in "Remediation Plan" there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent limitation on the effectiveness of internal control. The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Moreover, 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. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Although we may, from time to time, be subject to litigation and other claims in the normal course of business, we are currently not a party to any material legal proceeding. No amounts have been accrued in the condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to any such matters.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The disclosure below supplements the risk factors previously disclosed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and subsequently quarterly reports on form 10-Q filed by the Company with the SEC. The risks described therein are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
If we fail to satisfy the Nasdaq Capital Market continued listing requirements, our common stock could be delisted from the Nasdaq.
The listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market is contingent on our compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market’s conditions for continued listing. The Company currently is subject to a discretionary panel monitor through February 18, 2026. If the Company is not able to meet the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq, which require, among other things, that the minimum bid price of the Company’s common stock must be $1.00 or more for ten consecutive business days in the 180 day cure period from the date of a deficiency notice and either minimum stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million, market value of listed securities of at least $35 million, or net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recent fiscal year or in two of the last three fiscal years, the Company’s common stock may be delisted.
On October 16, 2025, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that, for the preceding 30 consecutive trading days, the market value of the Company’s listed securities had been below the minimum $35,000,000 requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2). The Company also did not meet the alternative $2,500,000 stockholders' equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). Accordingly, as described in the deficiency letter and the Company’s Form 8-K filing filed with the SEC on October 22, 2025, unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), the Company’s securities would be subject to suspension and delisting. The Company requested a hearing before the Panel, which is currently scheduled for December 4, 2025. The hearing request will automatically stay any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel following the hearing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company a further extension or that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing.
A delisting of the Company’s common stock could negatively impact the Company and its stockholders by, among other things: reduce the liquidity and market price of its common stock; reduce the number of investors willing to hold or acquire the Company’s common stock, which could negatively impact its ability to raise equity financing; decrease the amount of news and analyst coverage of the Company; and limit the Company’s ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. In addition, delisting from the Nasdaq might negatively impact the Company’s reputation and, as a consequence, its business, operating results, cash flows, financial condition, or securities.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
During the third quarter of 2025, the Company: (i) issued 1,082,231 shares of common stock to ATW I (as defined above) upon their conversion of 4,600 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; and (ii) issued 3,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to ATW at a price per share of $980, for an aggregate offering price of approximately $2,940,000. See Note 13 (Equity) to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements with respect to the terms of conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None.
46
ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Trading Plans
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, no director or Section 16 officer of the Company adopted terminated
