The Company primarily serves the offshore oil and gas market; however, the Company’s product offerings and service capabilities are based on core competencies that are energy source agnostic and can be applied to additional markets, including offshore wind, offshore wave energy, hydrogen, and liquefied natural gas.
Koil Energy’s goal is to provide superior services and products to its customers in a safe, cost-effective, and timely manner. The Company believes there is significant demand for, and brand name recognition of, its established services and products due to the technical capabilities, reliability, cost-effectiveness, timeliness of delivery and execution, and operational efficiency features of these solutions.
In 2022, we changed our name from Deep Down, Inc., to Koil Energy Solutions, Inc. In connection with the name change, our ticker symbol was changed to “KLNG”.
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s operations were organized as one reportable and one operating segment.
Services
Koil Energy supports all aspects of subsea field development with its engineering and project management services, including the design, installation, and retrieval of subsea equipment and systems, connection and termination operations, well-commissioning services, and construction support. The Company works closely with all customers to provide the fastest, safest, and most cost-effective solutions to a variety of complex issues. The Company also serves a range of customers, including operators, installation contractors, and subsea equipment manufacturers.
| 1 |
Project Management and Engineering. Koil Energy’s project managers and engineers have extensive experience and knowledge to support customers both on and offshore. Particularly, the Company specializes in the design and engineering of steel tube flying leads, umbilicals, flexible and rigid risers, flowlines, and jumpers. Koil Energy’s comprehensive subsea engineering services oversee all project requirements from conception to final commissioning, including offshore participation during installation to ensure proper execution and safe completion of projects.
Spooling Services. Koil Energy’s engineering teams provide the planning, supervision, specialized equipment, and coordination with offshore installation personnel for a customer’s pull-in and spooling needs. The Company has the ability to manage every stage of the process from terminations, spooling operations, installation, testing, monitoring, and pull-in for umbilicals and flying leads.
Testing and Commissioning Services. The Company can perform all aspects of testing related to connecting the umbilical termination assemblies, performing installations, and completing the commissioning of the system thereafter. This includes initial factory acceptance testing, extended factory acceptance testing, and system integration testing, and offshore installation and commissioning services. The Company also offers a variety of pumping systems to meet industry needs and offers maximum flexibility to ensure a safe and efficient commissioning program.
Storage Management. Koil Energy’s facility in Houston, Texas offers high quality warehousing and workshop capacity, external storage, and a strategic location near customers and key suppliers. Among other capabilities, the Company provides long-term specialized contract warehousing, long and short-term storage, material handling equipment, integrated inventory management, packing, and labeling.
Equipment Refurbishment and Intervention Services. The Company provides refurbishment and repurposing of recovered subsea equipment and associated support services for offshore interventions. As an emergency or intervention arises, the stored asset is engineered, reconfigured, and tested per customer specifications. Additionally, Koil Energy has developed a suite of proprietary equipment and tools available to address the critical offshore needs of its customers and minimize production disruptions due to unplanned events. A Koil Energy service technician is then deployed with the equipment to support the offshore campaign.
Products
Koil Energy designs, manufactures, fabricates, inspects, assembles, tests, and installs subsea distribution equipment used by major integrated, large independent, and foreign national energy companies in offshore areas throughout the world. The Company’s products are used during exploration, development, and production operations on offshore drilling rigs, installation and intervention vessels, and as part of the permanently installed subsea production infrastructure.
Flying Leads. Koil Energy designs, manufactures, and installs flying leads, particularly steel tube flying leads. Flying leads are umbilical jumpers with a termination plate at either end that support the transmission of hydraulic fluid and/or chemicals between the subsea equipment. The Company’s flagship product, the Loose Steel Tube Flying Lead (“LSFL®”), was developed to eliminate the residual memory left in traditional flying leads due to the bundling process. The loose lay of the tubes is more compliant allowing the bundle to lay flat on the sea floor and follow the prescribed lay path precisely. Koil Energy employs its Moray® termination system on each end of the LSFL®. The Moray® termination is a lightweight, high-strength, configurable, and field serviceable framework used to connect any commercially available multi-quick connect plate to the LSFL® bundle. The Moray® termination assembly offers several cost and time saving benefits over traditional competitive solutions that allow the Company to lower the total installed cost of customer projects.
Umbilical Hardware. Koil Energy designs and fabricates lightweight and compact umbilical hardware that covers the entire scope of a project’s needs from the topside platform to the subsea connection. The Company’s compliant Umbilical Termination Assembly (“UTA”) allows the installation team to terminate an umbilical with a higher degree of quality, place the critical components of the base unit on the reel or on the carousel, and handle it with additional ease and safety. The UTA can then be combined with the mud mat assembly easily and offers both first-end stab and hinge-over features as well as yoke second end landing.
| 2 |
Koil Energy’s termination services offer the ability to refurbish existing topside umbilical terminations from multiple manufacturers and provide a completely new connection, thus extending the life of the umbilical and the subsea field. Bend Stiffener Latchers® are designed to secure a dynamic umbilical to an existing or standard flange offering significant cost savings without the need for modification to the rig interface or the use of divers. The quick-release and locking mechanism allows a single remotely operated vehicle to engage or disengage the locking mechanism resulting in significant savings to the customer.
Riser Isolation Valves and Subsea Isolation Valve Services. Koil Energy’s Riser Isolation Valve and Subsea Isolation Valve control systems are unique solutions that provide platform personnel hydraulic control and electrical indication for subsea production valves. These systems provide numerous advantages to the customer including emergency shutdown capabilities, valve positioning monitoring systems, and auxiliary positions for spare and/or future field development.
In addition to the fabrication of these systems, Koil Energy provides subsea installation engineering, consulting, and service personnel to support customers, installation contractors, valve vendors, and more. The Koil Energy team provides commissioning and technical assistance to customers and platform personnel and seeks to ensure that the systems are working properly.
Installation Aids. The Company has developed an extensive array of installation aids, including flying lead installation systems, tensioners, lay chutes, buoyancy modules, clump weights, mud mats, pumping and testing skids, control booths, fluid drum carriers, under-rollers, 200 ton, 400 ton, 3,400 ton, and 3,500 ton carousels, running and parking deployment frames, termination shelters, pipe straighteners, Subsea Deployment Basket® system, Horizontal Drive Units, and Rapid Deployment Cartridges.
Manufacturing
Koil Energy’s facilities located in Houston, Texas are integral to our operations, serving as the backbone of our manufacturing process. Strategically organized and equipped, these spaces efficiently facilitate fabrication, manufacturing, assembly, and testing of our products. Within our well-structured environment, our skilled teams harness their expertise alongside machinery and tools, ensuring precise execution at every stage. We also have a significant footprint dedicated to our clean, stainless steel welding and tube bending environment, which is separated from all carbon steel fabrication.
Our manufacturing facility is ISO 9001 certified. We enhance our standards and product quality by having our quality assurance specialists work alongside our product manufacturing personnel throughout the manufacturing process. We have the capacity to complete large turn-key projects and still have reserve space for unforeseen emergency projects requiring immediate service and the attention to which our customers are accustomed.
Customers
Demand for our deepwater and ultra-deepwater services, equipment and offshore rig equipment is dependent on the condition of the energy industry and its ability and need to make capital expenditures, as well as continual maintenance and improvements on its offshore exploration, drilling, and production operations. The level of these expenditures is generally dependent upon various factors such as expected commodity prices, exploration and production costs, and the level of offshore drilling and production activity. The prevailing view of future commodity prices is influenced by numerous factors affecting supply and demand. These factors include, but are not limited to, worldwide economic activity, interest rates, cost of capital, environmental regulation, tax policies, and production levels and prices set and maintained by producing nations and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. Capital expenditures are also dependent on the cost of exploring for and producing oil and gas, the sale and expiration dates of domestic and international offshore leases, the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves in offshore areas and technological advances. Oil and gas prices and the level of offshore drilling and production activity have historically been characterized by significant volatility.
Our principal customers are primarily major integrated, large independent, and foreign national energy companies as well as subsea equipment manufacturers and subsea equipment installation contractors involved in the offshore exploration, development, and production of natural and renewable resources. Offshore drilling contractors, engineering and construction companies, and other companies involved in maritime operations represent a smaller customer base.
| 3 |
Koil Energy is not dependent on any one customer or group of customers. The amount and variety of our products and services required in a given period by a customer can depend upon the customer’s capital expenditure budget as well as the results of competitive bids. Consequently, a customer may account for a material portion of revenues in one period and may represent an immaterial portion of revenues in a subsequent period. While we are not dependent on any one customer or group of customers, the loss of one or more of our significant customers could, at least on a short-term basis, have an adverse effect on the results of our operations and cash flows.
Marketing and Sales
We market our services and products worldwide through our Houston-based sales force. We periodically advertise in trade and technical publications targeting our customer base. We also participate in industry conferences and trade shows to enhance industry awareness of our products and services. Our customers generally order products and services after consulting with us on their project. Orders are typically completed within two weeks to three months depending on the type of product or service. Larger and more complex products may require significantly more time to complete. Our customers generally select our products and services based on the quality, reliability and reputation of the product or service, price, timely delivery, and advanced technology. For large production system orders, we engage our project management team to coordinate customer needs with our engineering, manufacturing, and service departments, as well as with our trusted subcontractors and vendors. Our profitability on projects is dependent on performing accurate and cost-effective bids as well as performing efficiently in accordance with bid specifications. Various factors can affect our performance on individual projects that could potentially adversely affect the profitability of a project.
Product Development and Engineering
The technological demands of the energy industry continue to increase as offshore exploration and drilling operations expand into deeper and more hostile environments. Conditions encountered in these environments could soon include well pressures of up to 20,000 psi, mixed flows of oil and gas under high pressure that may also be highly corrosive, and water depths exceeding 10,000 feet. We are continually engaged in product development activities to generate new products and to improve existing products and services to meet our customers’ needs. We also focus our activities on reducing the overall cost to the customer, which includes not only the initial capital costs, but also ongoing operating costs associated with our products.
We have an established track record of introducing new products and product enhancements. Our product development work is conducted at our facility in Houston, Texas, and in the field. Our application engineering staff also provides engineering services to customers in connection with the design and sales of our products. Our ability to develop new products and maintain technological advantages is important to our future growth and success.
We believe that the success of our business depends more on the technical competence, performance, creativity, and marketing abilities of our employees than on any individual patent, trademark, or copyright. Nevertheless, as part of our ongoing product development and manufacturing activities, our policy is to seek patents when appropriate on inventions concerning new products and product improvements. All patent rights for products developed by employees are assigned to us.
Competition
The principal competitive factors in the offshore drilling, development and production, and maritime equipment markets are quality, reliability, and reputation of the product, price, technology, and timely delivery. We face significant competition from other manufacturers of exploration, production, and maritime equipment. Several of our primary competitors are diversified multinational companies with substantially larger operating staffs and greater capital resources and have a longer history in the manufacturing of these types of equipment.
| 4 |
Employees
At December 31, 2024, we had a total of 63 employees, all of whom were full-time. We also work with a pool of independent contractors who enable us to scale our operations at short notice, as business needs demand. Our employees are not covered by collective bargaining agreements, and we generally consider our employee relations to be good. Our operations depend in part on our ability to attract a skilled labor force. While we believe that our wage rates are competitive and that our relationship with our skilled labor force is good, a significant increase in the wages paid by competing employers could result in a reduction of our skilled labor force or increases in the wage rates that we pay, or both.
Governmental Regulations
A significant portion of our business activities are subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations and similar agencies of foreign governments. The technical requirements of these laws and regulations are becoming increasingly expensive, complex, and stringent. These regulations are administered by various federal, state, and local health and safety and environmental agencies and authorities, including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. From time to time, we are also subject to a wide range of reporting requirements, certifications and compliance as prescribed by various federal and state governmental agencies. Expenditures relating to such regulations are made in the normal course of our business and are neither material nor place us at any competitive disadvantage. We do not currently expect that compliance with such laws will require us to make material additional expenditures.
We are also affected by tax policies and other laws and regulations generally relating to the oil and gas industry, including those specifically directed to offshore operations. Adoption of laws and regulations that curtail exploration and development drilling for oil and gas could adversely affect our operations by limiting demand for our services or products.
Increased concerns about the environment have resulted in offshore drilling in certain areas being opposed by environmental groups, and certain areas have been restricted. To the extent that new or additional environmental protection laws that prohibit or restrict offshore drilling are enacted and result in increased costs to the oil and gas industry in general, our business could be materially affected. In addition, these laws may provide for “strict liability” for damages to natural resources or threats to public health and safety, rendering a party liable for the environmental damage without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such party. Sanctions for noncompliance may include revocation of permits, corrective action orders, administrative or civil penalties and criminal prosecution. Certain environmental laws provide for joint and several liabilities for remediation of spills and releases of hazardous substances. In addition, companies may be subject to claims alleging personal injury or property damage as a result of alleged exposure to hazardous substances, as well as damage to natural resources. Such laws and regulations may also expose us to liability for the conduct of or conditions caused by others, or for our acts that complied with all applicable laws at the time such acts were performed. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations may require us to obtain permits or other authorizations for certain activities and to comply with various standards or procedural requirements.
We cannot determine to what extent our future operations and earnings may be affected by new legislation, new regulations, or changes in existing regulations. We believe that our facilities are in substantial compliance with current regulatory standards. Based on our experience to date, we do not currently anticipate any material adverse effect on our business or consolidated financial position as a result of future compliance with existing environmental laws and regulations controlling the discharge of materials into the environment. However, future events, such as changes in existing laws and regulations or their interpretation, more vigorous enforcement policies of regulatory agencies, or stricter or different interpretations of existing laws and regulations, may require additional expenditures which may be material.
Intellectual Property
While we are the holder of various patents, trademarks and licenses relating to our business, we do not consider any individual intellectual property to be material to our business operations.

General
Koil Energy is an energy services company that provides equipment and support services to the world’s energy and offshore industries. The Company provides innovative solutions to complex customer challenges presented between the production facility and the energy source. Koil Energy’s core services and technological solutions include distribution system installation support and engineering services, umbilical terminations, loose-tube steel flying leads, and related services. Additionally, Koil Energy’s experienced professionals can support subsea engineering, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and maintenance projects located anywhere in the world. The Company’s broad line of solutions are engineered and manufactured primarily for major integrated, large independent, and foreign national energy companies in offshore areas throughout the world. These products are often developed in direct response to customer requests for solutions to critical needs in the field. The Company primarily serves the offshore oil and gas market; however, the Company’s product offerings and service capabilities are based on core competencies that are energy source agnostic and can be applied to additional markets, including offshore wind, offshore wave energy, hydrogen, and liquefied natural gas.
Industry and Executive Outlook
The energy services industry relies heavily on the capital and operating expenditure programs of energy companies. Operators’ decisions to scale back or accelerate their exploration, drilling, and production activities are significantly influenced by the overall state of the energy sector. Notably, the oil and gas industry has historically experienced fluctuations in commodity prices, driven by various global market forces.
The current consensus among our customers is that the demand for energy is increasing. Our clients are indicating that the world’s energy demand will require supply growth within oil and natural gas as well as for renewables. Oil and natural gas supply from existing wells naturally declines over time, making sustained investments more important over the coming years. The years of underinvestment in offshore production appear to have triggered a general shift and returning focus on increasing production. As a result, several key subsea basins, particularly Gulf of America, the North Sea, and off the coasts of Brazil, are being prepared to contribute significantly to this production output. Our strengthened positioning in these markets is therefore essential to achieve a sustained level of growth. A leading indicator for our main products is the number of subsea trees purchased by operators. Our product lines include vital support systems for subsea trees. According to Westwood Global Energy Group, a market analyst firm, the global annual subsea tree awards included 284 and 279 awards in 2023 and 2024, respectively. This healthy market presents good opportunities for KOIL Energy going forward, as our offering, such as subsea distribution equipment and services, are typically awarded 1 to 1 ½ years after the subsea tree awards. During the first quarter of this year, we have seen a significant increase in bidding activity. We therefore anticipate experiencing the benefits of this positive momentum throughout this year and into next year.
As part of our growth strategy, we have also been focusing on expanding our service and product offerings to better address the operating expenditures of our energy customers. We also expect this expenditure to increase due to aging infrastructure. Re-termination of an umbilical cable on an existing installation is an example of our success in the maintenance market.
The 48% year-over-year increase in our revenues for 2024 is exceptional and beyond the industry benchmark. This outstanding growth in revenue in a fairly flat market was the result of an assertive strategy and excellent work effort by our teams.
We are one year into an ambitious 3-year strategy where continued profitable revenue growth is the objective. The strategy has been concentrated on further developing the systems that address the critical needs of our customers, while upselling more product and associated services. In April 2024 we announced the award of a major contract for a Subsea Safety Control System from a major international energy company. In August last year we announced the award of a significant contract for delivering Bend Stiffener Latchers (BSL®) to an operator in a new region. In October we secured a significant contract to provide umbilical re-termination (maintenance and repair) on an offshore production platform for an international oil and gas company. In December we were awarded a significant contract to supply Electrical and Hydraulic Distribution Manifolds for a project in West Africa. Although we secure numerous smaller contracts on a weekly basis, it is the major and significant awards that drive our growth.
We continue progressing towards achieving our goal of becoming the premier provider of integrated subsea distribution systems.

| 2024 | 2023 | $ | % | |||||||||||||
| Revenues | $ | 22,734 | $ | 15,343 | $ | 7,391 | 48% | |||||||||
The 48 percent increase in revenues was primarily driven by an increase in fixed price contracts for the manufacture of subsea distribution equipment, such as flying leads and hydraulic distribution manifolds, partially offset by a decrease in service contract activity.
Cost of sales and Gross profit
| Year Ended December 31, | Increase (Decrease) | |||||||||||||||
| 2024 | 2023 | $ | % | |||||||||||||
| Cost of sales | $ | 13,985 | $ | 10,493 | $ | 3,492 | 33% | |||||||||

| Gross profit % | 38% | 32% | – | 6% | ||||||||||||
The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by increased revenues. Gross profit percentage increased 6% when compared to the previous year.
The Company records depreciation expense related to revenue-generating property, plant and equipment as cost of sales, which totaled $459 and $497 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
| Year Ended December 31, | Increase (Decrease) | |||||||||||||||
| 2024 | 2023 | $ | % | |||||||||||||

| Selling, general & administrative as a % of revenue | 27% | 42% | – | (15 | )% | |||||||||||
The reduction in selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) was driven by lower administrative payroll expense, advertising expense, research and development expense, and rental expense related to the Company’s short-term lease for furniture at the Company’s operating facility.
The Company records depreciation and amortization expense related to administrative property, plant and equipment and intellectual property as SG&A, which totaled $112 and $108 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Interest expense (income), net
Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $47 compared to net interest income of $7 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase of $40 is mainly due to an increase in interest received on the Company’s interest bearing financial instruments during the year ended December 31, 2024.
| 11 |
Other income, net
The Company recorded net other income of $33 and $50 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which primarily consists of insurance policyholder dividends.
Gain/loss on sale of assets
The Company recorded loss of $1 and gain of $4 related to equipment sold by the Company during the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Modified EBITDA
Management evaluates Company performance based on a measure that is not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which consists of earnings (net income or loss) available to common stockholders before net interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash share-based compensation expense, non-cash impairments, non-cash gains or losses on the sale of property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”), other non-cash items and one-time charges (“Modified EBITDA”). This measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. The measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income or loss, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing, or financing activities, or other cash flow data prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The amounts included in the Modified EBITDA calculation, however, are derived from amounts included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
We believe Modified EBITDA is a useful measure of a company’s operating performance, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, financing methods, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired. It helps investors more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest), asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization), and actions that do not affect liquidity (share-based compensation expense) from our operating results. Additionally, it helps investors identify items that are within our operational control. Depreciation and amortization charges, while a component of operating income, are fixed at the time of the asset purchase or acquisition in accordance with the depreciable lives of the related asset and as such are not a directly controllable period operating charge.
The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Modified EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:
| Years Ended December 31, | ||||||||
| 2024 | 2023 | |||||||
| Net income (loss) | $ | 2,620 | $ | (1,554 | ) | |||
| Deduct: Interest (income) expense, net | (47 | ) | (7 | ) | ||||
| Add: Income tax expense | 16 | 5 | ||||||

| Add: Share-based compensation | 376 | 64 | ||||||
| Add: Relocation costs | – | 9 | ||||||
| Deduct: Loss (gain) on sale of asset | 1 | (4 | ) | |||||
| Modified EBITDA | $ | 3,537 | $ | (882 | ) | |||
The $4,419 increase in Modified EBITDA primarily resulted from revenue and gross profit improvement associated with the increase in fixed price contracts and lower SG&A during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As an offshore energy services provider, our revenues, profitability, cash flows, and future rate of growth are generally dependent on the condition of the global oil and gas industry and our customers’ ability to invest capital for offshore exploration, drilling and production, and maintenance of offshore drilling and production facilities. Oil and gas prices and the level of offshore drilling and production activity have historically been characterized by significant volatility. At times, we enter into large, fixed-price contracts which may require significant lead time and investment. A decline in offshore drilling and production activity could result in lower contract volume or delays in significant contracts, which could negatively impact our earnings and cash flows. Our earnings and cash flows could also be negatively affected by delays in payments by significant customers or delays in the completion of our contracts for any reason.
The Company believes it will have adequate liquidity to meet its future operating requirements. We are generally dependent on our cash flows from operations to fund our working capital requirements, and the uncertainties noted above create risks that we may not achieve our planned earnings or cash flow from operations. On May 24, 2023, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement/Security Agreement with Zions Bancorporation, N.A., d/b/a Amegy Bank Business Credit (“Amegy”), which provides for Koil Energy from time to time to sell its accounts receivable and other rights to payment to Amegy, subject to Amegy’s right to approve or reject future accounts receivable and other rights proposed for sale, in its sole discretion. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the Company had no outstanding sales of accounts receivable to Amegy.
The principal liquidity needs of the Company are to fund ongoing operations, working capital, and capital expenditures. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company reported a $1,392 increase in cash. The Company generated $1,726 of net cash provided by operating activities, primarily driven by cash used by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1,824 and other adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities of $930, which includes items such as non-cash lease expense, loss on sale of property, plant and equipment, share-based compensation, bad debt expense, and depreciation and amortization. This was partially offset by net income of $2,620. The Company used $373 of net cash for investing activities, primarily to fund capital expenditures. The Company also provided by $39 of net cash in financing activities for principal payments made under its finance lease obligations, proceeds from stock options exercised, and proceeds and principal payments on short-term borrowings.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company reported a $323 decrease in cash. The Company generated $203 of net cash from operating activities, primarily driven by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1,234 and other adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash provided by operating activities of $523, which includes items such as non-cash lease expense, gain on sale of property, plant and equipment, share-based compensation, bad debt expense (recovery), and depreciation and amortization. This was partially offset by a net loss of $1,554. The Company used $226 of net cash for investing activities, primarily to fund capital expenditures. The Company also used $300 of net cash in financing activities for principal payments made under its finance lease obligations.
The Company maintains a positive outlook on customer inquiries and views this as an opportunity to capitalize on its product, service, and rental offerings to address the subsea distribution and cable management needs of its customers. The reasons for this expected increase are set forth in the “Industry and Executive Outlook” section above. As such, the Company believes it will have adequate liquidity to meet its future operating requirements through a combination of cash on hand, cash expected to be generated from operations, and potential sales of PP&E. Given the inherent volatility in oil prices and global economic activity, the Company cannot predict this with certainty. To mitigate this uncertainty and preserve liquidity, the Company will concentrate capital investments on key growth needs and pursue opportunistic cost containment initiatives, which can include workforce alignment, restricting overhead spending and limiting research and development efforts to only critical items.

Summary of Critical Accounting Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that may affect assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and related allowances, contract assets and liabilities, impairments of long-lived assets, including intangibles, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, contingencies and litigation, and share-based payments. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Property, Plant and Equipment
PP&E is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, amortization, and related impairments. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Replacements and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. It is our policy to include amortization expense on assets acquired under finance leases with depreciation expense on owned assets. Additionally, we record depreciation and amortization expense related to revenue-generating assets as a component of cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
If circumstances associated with our PP&E have changed or a significant event has occurred that may affect the recoverability of the carrying amount of our PP&E, an impairment indicator exists, and we test the PP&E for impairment. Before testing for impairment, we group PP&E with other finite-lived long-lived assets (“long-lived assets”) at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of cash flows from other assets or groups of assets. Testing long-lived assets for impairment is a two-step process:
Step 1 - We test the long-lived asset group for recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group with the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows from use and the eventual disposal of the asset group. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset group is determined to be greater than the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows from use and disposal, we would need to perform step 2.
Step 2 - If the long-lived group of assets fails the recoverability test in step 1, we would record an impairment expense for the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the long-lived asset group.
During the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company conducted assessments of whether impairment indicators were present that indicate the carrying amount of its long-lived asset group might not be recoverable and determined that no such events or changes in circumstances were present.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. To determine the proper revenue recognition method for our customer contracts, we evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate the combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period.
For most of our fixed price contracts, the customer contracts with us to provide a significant service of integrating a complex set of tasks and components into a single project or capability even if that single project results in the delivery of multiple units. Hence, the entire contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.
| 14 |
Fixed Price Contracts
For fixed price contracts, we generally recognize revenue over time as we perform because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. This continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contract that allow the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience, pay us for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit and take control of any work in process. In our fixed price contracts, the customer either controls the work in process or we deliver products with no alternative use to the Company and have rights to payment for work performed to date plus a reasonable profit as evidenced by contractual termination clauses.
Because of control transferring over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. We generally use the cost-to-cost measure of progress for our contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred.
Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. We consider a contract modification to exist when the modification either creates new, or changes the existing, enforceable rights and obligations. Most of our contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price, and our measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis.
We have a company-wide standard and disciplined quarterly estimate at completion process in which management reviews the progress and execution of our performance obligations. As part of this process, management reviews information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule, identified risks and opportunities and the related changes in estimates of revenues and costs. Changes in estimates of net sales, cost of sales and the related impact to operating income are recognized quarterly on a cumulative catch-up basis, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a performance obligation’s percentage of completion. A significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of one or more of our performance obligations. When estimates of total costs to be incurred exceed total estimates of revenue to be earned on a performance obligation related to fixed price contracts, a provision for the entire loss on the performance obligation is recognized in the period the loss is estimated.
Service Contracts
We recognize revenue for service contracts measuring progress toward satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that best depicts the transfer of goods or services to the customer. The control over services is transferred over time when the services are rendered to the customer on a daily basis. Specifically, we recognize revenue as the services are provided as we have the right to invoice the customer for the services performed. Services are billed on a monthly basis. Payment terms for services are usually 30 days from invoice receipt but can increase to 45, 60, or 90 days depending on the customer.
Contract Balances
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts arise when revenues are recorded based on the extent of progress towards completion but cannot be invoiced under the terms of the contract. Such amounts are invoiced upon completion of contractual milestones. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts arise when milestone billings are permissible under the contract, but the related costs have not yet been incurred. All contract costs are recognized currently on jobs formally approved by the customer and contracts are not shown as complete until virtually all anticipated costs have been incurred and the risk of loss has passed to the customer.
| 15 |
Assets related to costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, as well as liabilities related to billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, have been classified as current. The contract cycle for certain long-term contracts may extend beyond one year, thus complete collection of amounts related to these contracts may extend beyond one year, though such long-term contracts include contractual milestone billings as discussed above. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no contracts with terms that extended beyond one year.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The estimation of anticipated credit losses that may be incurred as we work through the invoice collection process with our customers requires us to make judgments and estimates regarding our customers’ ability to pay amounts due. We monitor our customers’ payment history and current creditworthiness, if needed, to determine that collectability is reasonably assured. We provide an allowance for credit losses based upon a review of each accounts receivable balance with respect to a customer’s ability to make payments. We also evaluate historical loss rates as well as consider forward-looking factors specific to the customers, the overall economic environment, and management expectations to determine expected losses. When certain accounts are determined to require an allowance, they are expensed by a provision for bad debts in that period. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, we estimated the allowance for credit losses requirement to be $0. Bad debt expense totaled $0 and $1 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We believe that our allowance for credit losses is adequate to cover the anticipated credit losses under current conditions; however, uncertainties regarding changes in the financial condition of our customers, either adverse or positive, could impact the amount and timing of any additional credit losses that may be required.
Income Taxes
We follow the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. This method considers the differences between financial statement treatment and tax treatment of certain transactions. 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.
We record a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of our deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will expire before realization of the benefit or that future deductibility is not probable. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets depends upon our ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in the future. This requires management to use estimates and make assumptions regarding significant future events such as the taxability of entities operating in the various taxing jurisdictions. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets, we consider all reasonably 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. In estimating future taxable income, we develop assumptions, including the amount of future state, and federal pre-tax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment. 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, either to income or goodwill, depending upon when that portion of the valuation allowance was originally created.
We record an estimated tax liability or tax benefit for income and other taxes based on what we determine will likely be paid in the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate. We use our best judgment in the determination of these amounts. However, the liabilities ultimately realized and paid are dependent upon various matters, including resolution of tax audits, and may differ from amounts recorded. An adjustment to the estimated liability would be recorded as a provision or benefit to income tax expense in the period in which it becomes probable that the amount of the actual liability or benefit differs from the recorded amount.
Our future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities or changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. If and when our deferred tax assets are no longer fully reserved, we will begin to provide for taxes at the full statutory rate. In addition, we are subject to the examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who is our principal executive officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as set forth in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, we concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the existence of the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described below under “Material Weakness.”
| 17 |
Notwithstanding the conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report were not effective, and notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below, management believes that the consolidated financial statements and related financial information included in this Annual Report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates presented, and for the periods ended on such dates, in conformity with GAAP.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Our management conducted an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as set forth in Item 308(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act and Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on this assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below under “Material Weakness”.
Material Weaknesses
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The following material weaknesses were identified:
| · | The Company did not maintain certain components of the COSO framework, including elements of the control environment, risk assessment and monitoring activities components, relating to: 1) sufficiency of competent personnel with appropriate levels of knowledge, experience, and training in accounting for share-based payments; (ii) identifying and assessing changes that could significantly impact internal control; and (iii) performing ongoing evaluations to ascertain whether the components of internal controls are present and functioning. These entity level material weaknesses gave rise to the following control deficiency, which was also determined to be a material weakness. | |
| · | The Company did not design and maintain effective management review controls relating to its accounting for share-based payments. |
Remediation Plan
In 2025, we intend to engage outside consultants to assist with various accounting and financial reporting matters and we will continue assessing the need for hiring additional internal accounting and third-party financial reporting resources, including additional training. We are in the process of replacing our recently departed VP-Finance, retained additional accounting resources in the fourth quarter of 2024 and are implementing a more efficient ERP system to streamline and automate certain processes. As we continue to obtain additional financial resources and as we continue to increase our operating activity, management, under the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, will continue to implement measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting to remediate the identified material weaknesses, namely, to identify and engage, through internal hiring and the use of external third parties, a sufficient complement of accounting and financial reporting resources and to periodically assess the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.
| 18 |
While we believe that these efforts will improve our internal control over financial reporting, the implementation of these measures is ongoing and will continue to require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, or that we may take in the future, will be sufficient to remediate the material weakness we have identified or avoid potential future material weaknesses.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of securities ownership and changes in such ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders also are required by rules promulgated by the SEC to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on the Company’s review of the copies of such forms received by it, the Company believes that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers and directors and greater-than ten percent beneficial owners during the year ended December 31, 2024 were satisfied.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Koil Energy Solutions, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Koil Energy Solutions, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements, and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, total revenue of approximately $15,842,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024, is generated from fixed price contracts. For the Company’s fixed price contracts, because of control transferring over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. The Company uses the cost-to-cost measure of progress for its contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as the Company incurs costs on the contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Management’s estimation of total cost at completion is subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. There are many factors which impact management’s estimate, including, but not limited to, the ability to properly execute the engineering, design and fabrication phases consistent with customers’ expectations, the availability and costs of labor and materials resources, productivity, weather, and level of success in the installation phase.
| F-1 |
Each of these factors can affect the accuracy of cost estimates, and ultimately, future profitability.
The principal considerations in our determination that revenue recognition, specifically determination of estimated costs to complete for fixed price contracts, is a critical audit matter are the complexity of these estimates and exercise of significant judgment by management when developing these estimates for fixed price contracts. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to the estimates of costs to complete.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. Our audit procedures related to this critical audit matter included the following, among others:
| · | Evaluating management’s process and methodology for developing estimated costs to complete. | |
| · | Identifying, evaluating, and testing significant assumptions utilized by management, including: |
| o | Obtaining executed purchase orders, agreements, and support for selected projects. | |
| o | Discussing progress of contracts’ completion with management. | |
| o | Performing corroborative inquiries of appropriate project managers. | |
| o | Confirming contract terms, billings, and estimated completion dates with customers. | |
| o | Performing a look-back analysis on completed contracts during the year to assess variances between actual and prior year estimated costs to complete. |
| · | Testing the completeness, accuracy and relevance of the underlying data used in developing estimated costs to complete, including: |

NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Description of Business
Koil Energy Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Koil Energy Nevada”), and its direct wholly owned subsidiary, Koil Energy Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Koil Energy Delaware”, and together with Koil Energy Nevada, “Koil Energy”, “we”, “us” or the “Company”), is an energy services company that provides equipment and support services to the world’s energy and offshore industries. The Company provides innovative solutions to complex customer challenges presented between the production facility and the energy source. Koil Energy’s core services and technological solutions include distribution system installation support and engineering services, umbilical terminations, loose-tube steel flying leads, and related services. Additionally, Koil Energy’s experienced professionals can support subsea engineering, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and maintenance projects located anywhere in the world. The Company’s broad line of solutions are engineered and manufactured primarily for major integrated, large independent, and foreign national energy companies in offshore areas throughout the world. These products are often developed in direct response to customer requests for solutions to critical needs in the field. The Company primarily serves the offshore oil and gas market; however, the Company’s product offerings and service capabilities are based on core competencies that are energy source agnostic and can be applied to additional markets, including offshore wind, offshore wave energy, hydrogen, and liquefied natural gas.
Liquidity
Koil Energy’s cash on hand was $
The Company believes it will have adequate liquidity
to meet its future operating requirements through a combination of cash on hand, cash expected to be generated from operations, and potential
sales of PP&E. Given the inherent volatility in oil prices and global economic activity, the Company cannot predict this with certainty.
To mitigate this uncertainty, the Company exercises discipline when making capital investments and pursues opportunistic cost containment
initiatives, which can include workforce alignment, limiting overhead spending, and limiting research and development efforts to only
critical items. Additionally, on May 24, 2023, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement/Security Agreement with Zions Bancorporation,
N.A., d/b/a Amegy Bank Business Credit (“Amegy”), which provides for Koil Energy from time to time to sell its accounts receivable
and other rights to payment to Amegy, subject to Amegy’s right to approve or reject future accounts receivable and other rights
proposed for sale, in its sole discretion. Any receivables sold shall bear an interest rate computed as Wall Street Journal Prime Rate
(“Prime Rate”) plus 2.00%. The Prime Rate has a floor and at no time shall it be less than 8.00% for the purposes of this
agreement. At December 31, 2024, the Company had

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Koil Energy for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and judgments that may affect assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and related allowances, contract assets and liabilities, impairments of long-lived assets, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, contingencies and litigation, and share-based payments. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Segments
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s operations were organized as one reportable segment and one operating segment.
Cash
Cash consist of cash on deposit with domestic banks which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We utilize a fair value hierarchy, which maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying values of cash, accounts receivables, and payables approximated their fair values at December 31, 2024 and 2023 due to their short-term maturities.
| F-8 |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer
obligations due under normal trade terms. The estimation of anticipated credit losses that may be incurred as we work through the invoice
collection process with our customers requires us to make judgments and estimates regarding our customers’ ability to pay amounts
due. We monitor our customers’ payment history and current credit worthiness, if needed, to determine that collectability is reasonably
assured. We provide an allowance for credit losses based upon a review of each accounts receivable balance with respect to a customer’s
ability to make payments. We also evaluate historical loss rates as well as consider forward-looking factors specific to the customers,
the overall economic environment, and management expectations to determine expected losses. Generally, we do not charge interest on past
due accounts. When certain accounts are determined to require an allowance, they are expensed by a provision for bad debts in that period.
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, we estimated the allowance for credit losses requirement to be $
Concentration of Revenues and Credit Risk
Koil Energy’s revenues are derived from the
sale of products and services to customers who participate in the offshore sector of the energy industry. Customers may be similarly affected
by economic and other changes in the energy industry. For the year ended December 31, 2024, our two largest customers accounted for
As of December 31, 2024, three of our customers accounted
for
Inventory
Koil Energy maintains an inventory of components that would otherwise have long lead times to purchase as needed. Inventory costs are determined principally by the use of the specific identification method. Company manufactured inventory is valued using direct costs incurred. We periodically review the value of items in inventory and record write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on our assessment of obsolescence or marketability. We did not record any write-downs or write-offs of inventory in recent years; therefore, we do not consider a reserve against inventory to be necessary.
Property, Plant and Equipment
PP&E is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, amortization, and related impairments. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Replacements and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. It is our policy to include amortization expense on assets acquired under finance leases with depreciation expense on owned assets. Additionally, we record depreciation and amortization expense related to revenue-generating assets as a component of cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
| F-9 |
If circumstances associated with our PP&E have changed or a significant event has occurred that may affect the recoverability of the carrying amount of our PP&E, an impairment indicator exists, and we test the PP&E for impairment. Before testing for impairment, we group PP&E with other finite-lived long-lived assets (“long-lived assets”) at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of cash flows from other assets or groups of assets. Testing long-lived assets for impairment is a two-step process:
Step 1 – We test the long-lived asset group for recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group with the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows from use and the eventual disposal of the asset group. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset group is determined to be greater than the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows from use and disposal, we would need to perform step 2.
Step 2 – If the long-lived group of assets fails the recoverability test in step 1, we would record an impairment expense for the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the long-lived asset group.
During the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company conducted assessments of whether impairment indicators were present that indicate the carrying amount of its long-lived asset (group) might not be recoverable and determined that no such events or changes in circumstances were present.
Lease Obligations
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASC Topic 842”). Under this guidance, lessees are required to recognize on the balance sheet a lease liability and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset for all leases, except for short-term leases with terms of twelve months or less. The lease liability represents the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease and will initially be measured as the present value of the lease payments. The ROU asset represents the lessee’s right to use a specified asset for the lease term, and will be measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayment, lease incentives received and the lessee’s initial direct costs.
ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term and include options to extend or terminate the lease when they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The present value of lease payments is determined primarily using the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date. Lease agreements with lease and non-lease components are generally accounted for as a single lease component. The Company’s operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and a portion is recorded in cost of sales, and the remainder is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. The accounting for some leases may require significant judgment, which includes determining whether a contract contains a lease, determining the incremental borrowing rate to utilize in our net present value calculation of lease payments for lease agreements which do not provide an implicit rate, and assessing the likelihood of renewal or termination options and impairment.
At the inception of a lease, Koil Energy evaluates the agreement to determine whether the lease will be accounted for as an operating or finance lease. The term of the lease used for such an evaluation includes renewal option periods only in instances in which the exercise of the renewal option can be reasonably assured, and if the contract contains a substantial penalty for failure to renew or extend the lease, it could lead the Company to conclude it has a significant economic incentive to extend the lease beyond the base rental period.
| F-10 |
Income Taxes
We follow the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. This method considers the differences between financial statement treatment and tax treatment of certain transactions. 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.
We record a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of our deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will expire before realization of the benefit or that future deductibility is not probable. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets depends upon our ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in the future. This requires management to use estimates and make assumptions regarding significant future events such as the taxability of entities operating in the various taxing jurisdictions. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets, we consider all reasonably 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. In estimating future taxable income, we develop assumptions, including the amount of future state and federal pre-tax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment. 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, either to income or goodwill, depending upon when that portion of the valuation allowance was originally created.
We record an estimated tax liability or tax benefit for income and other taxes based on what we determine will likely be paid in the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate. We use our best judgment in the determination of these amounts. However, the liabilities ultimately realized and paid are dependent upon various matters, including resolution of tax audits, and may differ from amounts recorded. An adjustment to the estimated liability would be recorded as a provision or benefit to income tax expense in the period in which it becomes probable that the amount of the actual liability or benefit differs from the recorded amount.
Our future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities or changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. If and when our deferred tax assets are no longer fully reserved, we will begin to provide for taxes at the full statutory rate. In addition, we are subject to the examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes.
We record share-based awards exchanged for employee service at fair value on the date of grant and expense the awards in the consolidated statements of operations over the requisite employee service period. These awards are valued at the grant date fair market value using the closing price of our stock on the QB Tier of the OTC Markets Group. Share-based compensation expense is generally recognized over the expected term of the award on a straight-line basis, and forfeitures are recorded as they occur. At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s share-based compensation was in the form of stock options.
Basic earnings or loss per common share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents (stock options) outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and warrants to purchase common stock were exercised for shares of common stock. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
| F-11 |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” The new standard requires enhanced disclosures about a public entity's reportable segments including more detailed information about a reportable segment's expenses. The amendments in this update apply to all public entities that are required to report segment information, and include those entities that have a single reportable segment. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted Topic 280 on January 1, 2024. Retrospective application is required for all periods presented in the financial statements. The adoption of Topic 280 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements, other than with respect to expanded disclosure. See Note 11 for disclosures related to the adoption of ASU No. 2023-07.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires significant additional disclosures about income taxes, primarily focused on the disclosure of income taxes paid and the rate reconciliation table. The new guidance will be applied prospectively (with retrospective application permitted) and is effective in the 2025 annual period and in 2026 for interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2019-10 will not have a material impact on our financial statements, other than with respect to expanded disclosure.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is to improve disclosures regarding the types of expenses included in commonly presented expense captions. This update is effective beginning with the Company’s 2027 fiscal year annual reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. We assessed ASUs not listed above and determined that they either were not applicable or were not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
NOTE 2: LEASES
We lease land, buildings, and certain equipment under non-cancellable operating leases. The Company leases office, indoor manufacturing, warehouse, and operating space in Houston, Texas and leases storage space in Mobile, Alabama to house its 3,400 metric ton and 3,500 metric ton carousel systems. We classify our leases related to certain office furniture and computer equipment as financing leases. The Company elects to apply the short-term lease exception; therefore, the Company will not record an ROU asset or corresponding lease liability for leases with an initial term of twelve months or less that are not reasonably certain of being renewed and instead will recognize a single lease cost allocated over the lease term, generally on a straight-line basis. The Company elects to apply the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components and instead account for both as a single lease component for all asset classes.
Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term on a monthly, annual or longer basis. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option that is reasonably certain of being exercised.
The Company elects to not capitalize any lease in which the estimated value of the underlying asset at the commencement date is less than the Company’s capitalization threshold. A lease would need to qualify for the low value exception based on various criteria.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company does not have any subleases.

NOTE 3: REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. To determine the proper revenue recognition method for our customer contracts, we evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate the combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period.
For most of our fixed price contracts, the customer contracts with us to provide a significant service of integrating a complex set of tasks and components into a single project or capability even if that single project results in the delivery of multiple units. Hence, the entire contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The following table presents our revenues disaggregated by fixed price and service contracts. Sales taxes are excluded from revenues.

| Fixed price contracts | $ | $ | ||||||

| F-14 |
Fixed price contracts
For fixed price contracts, we generally recognize revenue over time as we perform because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. This continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contract that allow the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience, pay us for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit and take control of any work in process. In our fixed price contracts, the customer either controls the work in process or we deliver products with no alternative use to the Company and have rights to payment for work performed to date plus a reasonable profit as evidenced by contractual termination clauses.
Because of control transferring over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. We generally use the cost-to-cost measure of progress for our contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred.
Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. We consider a contract modification to exist when the modification either creates new, or changes the existing, enforceable rights and obligations. Most of our contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price, and our measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis.
We have a company-wide standard and disciplined quarterly estimate at completion process in which management reviews the progress and execution of our performance obligations. As part of this process, management reviews information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule, identified risks and opportunities and the related changes in estimates of revenues and costs. Changes in estimates of net sales, cost of sales and the related impact to operating income are recognized quarterly on a cumulative catch-up basis, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a performance obligation’s percentage of completion. A significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of one or more of our performance obligations. When estimates of total costs to be incurred exceed total estimates of revenue to be earned on a performance obligation related to fixed price contracts, a provision for the entire loss on the performance obligation is recognized in the period the loss is estimated.
Service Contracts
We recognize revenue for service contracts measuring progress toward satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that best depicts the transfer of goods or services to the customer. The control over services is transferred over time when the services are rendered to the customer on a daily basis. Specifically, we recognize revenue as the services are provided as we have the right to invoice the customer for the services performed. Services are billed on a monthly basis. Payment terms for services are usually 30 days from invoice receipt, but have increased to 45, 60, or 90 days, depending on the customer.
Contract balances
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts arise when revenues are recorded based on the extent of progress towards completion but cannot be invoiced under the terms of the contract. Such amounts are invoiced upon completion of contractual milestones. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts arise when milestone billings are permissible under the contract, but the related costs have not yet been incurred. All contract costs are recognized currently on jobs formally approved by the customer and contracts are not shown as complete until virtually all anticipated costs have been incurred and the risk of loss has passed to the customer.
| F-15 |
Assets related to costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, as well as liabilities related to billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, have been classified as current. The contract cycle for certain long-term contracts may extend beyond one year; thus, complete collection of amounts related to these contracts may extend beyond one year though such long-term contracts include contractual milestone billings as discussed above. For the years ending 2024 and 2023, there were no contracts with terms that extended beyond one year.
The following table summarizes our contract assets, which are “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts” and our contract liabilities, which are “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts”.

| Contract liabilities | ||||||||||||
| Total accounts receivable, net, contract assets, and contract liabilities | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||
Contract assets and liabilities fluctuate period to period based on various factors, including, among others, changes in the number and size of projects in progress at period end; variability in billing and payment terms, such as up-front or advance billings, interim or milestone billings, or deferred billings; and recognized unapproved change orders and contract claims. The contract asset and liability balances at December 31, 2024 and 2023 consisted primarily of revenue related to fixed-price projects.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm orders for which work has not been performed and excludes unexercised contract options, potential orders, and any remaining performance obligations for any sales arrangements that had not fully satisfied the criteria to be considered a contract with a customer pursuant to the requirements of ASC 606.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses.
Many of our services contracts are short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. For those contracts, we have utilized the practical expedient exempting the Company from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.
| F-16 |
Additionally, our payment terms are short-term in nature with settlements of one year or less. We have, therefore, utilized the practical expedient exempting the Company from adjusting the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component given that the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
Further, in many of our service contracts, we have a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance completed to date (for example, a service contract in which we bill a fixed amount for each hour of service provided). For those contracts, we have utilized the practical expedient allowing us to recognize revenue in the amount for which we have the right to invoice.
Accordingly, we do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.

Construction in progress represents assets that are not ready for service or are in the construction stage. Assets are depreciated once they are placed into service.
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares and the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents (warrants, nonvested stock awards and stock options) using the treasury method.
| F-17 |
In each relevant period, the net income used in the basic and diluted EPS calculations is the same. The following table reconciles the weighted-average basic number of common shares outstanding, and the weighted-average diluted number of common shares deemed outstanding for the purpose of calculating basic and diluted EPS.

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were outstanding options that were vested and exercisable into and shares of common stock, respectively; however, they have been excluded from the calculation of EPS because their exercise would be anti-dilutive.
On August 26, 2024, the Company’s independent directors each received stock options to purchase shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $ per share. Fair value of these stock options was $ per share at the date of grant. Twenty-five percent of the shares vested on each of August 31, 2024, November 30, 2024, February 28, 2025, and the remainder are scheduled to vest on May 31, 2025. In addition to the foregoing, all shares shall vest immediately prior to a change in control.

Litigation
From time to time, the Company is party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company expenses or accrues legal costs as incurred and is not involved in any material legal proceedings as of the date of these financial statements.
WW Champion Developments Lawsuit
On September 23, 2024, WW Champion Developments, Inc. ("WW Champion”) sued the Company alleging breach of contract and seeking money damages of $1,229 in the 281st District Court of Harris County in an action styled WW Champion Developments, Inc. vs. Koil Energy Solutions, Inc., Cause Number 2024-65006. WW Champion alleged that Koil Energy breached a lease agreement between the parties by abandoning the premises, failing to maintain proper fire prevention measures, and failing to pay its remaining rental payments. The Company disputes WW Champion’s allegations, intends to vigorously defend itself against this lawsuit, and believes that the liability recorded for this matter has been adequately accrued.
NOTE 10: EMPLOYEE RETENTION CREDIT
Under the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) signed into law on March 27, 2020 and the subsequent extension of the CARES Act, the Company was eligible for a refundable employee retention credit subject to certain criteria. Since there is no U.S. GAAP for for-profit business entities that receive government assistance that is not in the form of a loan, an income tax credit or revenue from a contract with a customer, we determined the appropriate accounting treatment by analogy to other guidance. The Company accounted for the employee retention credit by analogy to International Accounting Standards (IAS) 20, “Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance,” of International Financial Reporting Standards.
Under an IAS 20 analogy, a business entity would recognize the employee retention credit on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognizes the payroll expenses for which the grant (i.e., tax credit) is intended to compensate when there is reasonable assurance (i.e., it is probable) that the entity will comply with any conditions attached to the grant and the grant (i.e., tax credit) will be received.
The Company initially recognized a $
NOTE 11: SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates as a single operating segment, as an energy services company that provides equipment and support services to the world’s energy and offshore industries. The Company’s chief operating decision maker “(CODM)” is its chief executive officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis. The CODM uses consolidated net income to monitor budget versus actual results in assessing segment performance and the allocation of resources. Significant segment expenses are presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were available to be issued.
On January 8, 2025, Koil Energy received $365 for the remaining employee retention credit filed for the second quarter of 2021. This payment of $365 included the $323 applied for that was recorded on the balance sheet as a receivable well as $42 of interest earned.
On January 15, 2025, KOIL Energy announced the resignation of Mr. Trevor Ashurst from his position as Vice President of Finance and Administration, effective February 1, 2025. Troy Aymond, Corporate Controller stepped in as the acting CFO. The Company has partnered with an Executive Search Firm to recruit a Chief Financial Officer and a Human Resources Manager.
On March 3, 2025, KOIL Energy announced its expansion into Brazil, with a new center for manufacturing and service support in Macaé. KOIL Energy has leased a 180,000 sq ft property with offices and a workshop of 27,000 sq ft. The facility will mainly house service support activities. The leasing contract can be terminated with a 3 months’ notice. The subsidiary, KOIL Energy Solutions do Brasil LTDA, has also been established as the legal entity for KOIL Energy's operations in Brazil.
On March 4, 2025, KOIL Energy and SubseaDesign AS, a Norway-based company, formed a strategic alliance to accelerate advancements in subsea technology. Both companies provide specialty products and services for subsea projects. Driven by the rising demand for innovative solutions in the global subsea industry, the two companies will collaborate within R&D and project execution.

Exhibit 19.1
Koil Energy Solutions, Inc.
Insider Trading Policy
This Insider Trading Policy provides the standards of Koil Energy Solutions, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) on trading and causing the trading of the Company’s securities or securities of other publicly-traded companies while in possession of confidential information. This policy is divided into two parts: Part I prohibits trading in certain circumstances and applies to all directors, officers and employees of the Company and Part II imposes special additional trading restrictions and applies to all (i) directors of the Company, (ii) executive officers of the Company and (iii) the employees specified on Appendix A, as it may be amended from time to time (collectively, “Covered Persons”).
One of the principal purposes of the federal securities laws is to prohibit so- called “insider trading.” Simply stated, insider trading occurs when a person uses material non-public information obtained through involvement with the Company to make decisions to purchase, sell, give away or otherwise trade the Company’s securities or to provide that information to others outside the Company. The prohibitions against insider trading apply to trades, tips and recommendations by virtually any person, including all persons associated with the Company, if the information involved is “material” and “non-public.” These terms are defined in this Policy under Part I, Section 3 below. The prohibitions would apply to any director, officer or employee who buys or sells Company stock while in possession of material non-public information that he or she obtained about the Company, its customers, suppliers or other companies with which the Company has contractual relationships or may be negotiating transactions.
PART I
| 1. | Applicability |
This Policy applies to all transactions in the Company’s securities, including common stock, options and any other securities that the Company may issue, such as preferred stock, notes, bonds and convertible securities, as well as to derivative securities relating to any of the Company’s securities, whether or not issued by the Company.
This Policy applies to all employees of the Company, all officers of the Company and all members of the Company’s board of directors.
| 2. | General Policy: No Trading or Causing Trading While in Possession of Material Non-public Information |
| a. | No director, officer or employee may purchase or sell any Company security, whether or not issued by the Company, while in possession of material non- public information about the Company. |
| b. | No director, officer or employee who knows of any material non-public information about the Company may communicate that information to any other person, including family and friends. |
| c. | In addition, no director, officer or employee may purchase or sell any security of any other company, whether or not issued by the Company, while in possession of material non-public information about that company that was obtained in the course of his or her involvement with the Company. No director, officer or employee who knows of any such material non-public information may communicate that information to any other person, including family and friends. |
| d. | For compliance purposes, you should never trade, tip or recommend securities (or otherwise cause the purchase or sale of securities) while in possession of information that you have reason to believe is material and non-public unless you first consult with, and obtain the advance approval of, the Compliance Administrator (See Part I, Section 3(c) below). |
| e. | Covered Persons must pre-clear all trading in securities of the Company in accordance with the procedures set forth in Part II, Section 3 below. |
| 1 |
| 3. | Definitions |
| a. | Materiality. Insider trading restrictions come into play only if the information you possess is “material.” Materiality, however, involves a relatively low threshold. Information is generally regarded as “material” if it has market significance, that is, if its public dissemination is likely to affect the market price of securities, or if it otherwise is information that a reasonable investor would want to know before making an investment decision. |
Information dealing with the following subjects is reasonably likely to be found material in particular situations:
| i. | significant changes in the Company’s prospects; | |
| ii. | significant write-downs in assets or increases in reserves; | |
| iii. | developments regarding significant litigation or government agency investigations; | |
| iv. | liquidity problems; | |
| v. | changes in earnings estimates or unusual gains or losses in major operations; | |
| vi. | major changes in management; | |
| vii. | changes in dividends; | |
| viii. | borrowings outside the ordinary course of business; | |
| ix. | award or loss of a significant contract; | |
| x. | changes in debt ratings; | |
| xi. | proposals, plans or agreements, even if preliminary in nature, involving mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, recapitalizations, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements, or purchases or sales of substantial assets; and | |
| xii. | public or private offerings of Company securities. |
Material information is not limited to historical facts but may also include projections and forecasts. With respect to a future event, such as a merger, acquisition or introduction of a new product, the point at which negotiations or product development are determined to be material is determined by balancing the probability that the event will occur against the magnitude of the effect the event would have on a company’s operations or stock price should it occur. Thus, information concerning an event that would have a large effect on stock price, such as a merger, may be material even if the possibility that the event will occur is relatively small. When in doubt about whether particular non-public information is material, you should presume it is material. If you are unsure whether information is material, you should consult the Compliance Administrator before making any decision to disclose such information (other than to persons who need to know it) or to trade in or recommend securities to which that information relates.
| 2 |
| b. | Non-public Information. Insider trading prohibitions come into play only when you possess information that is material and “non-public.” The fact that information has been disclosed to a few members of the public does not make it public for insider trading purposes. To be “public” the information must have been disseminated in a manner designed to reach investors generally, and the investors must be given the opportunity to absorb the information. Even after public disclosure of information about the Company, you must wait until the beginning of the second trading day after the information was publicly disclosed before you can treat the information as public. |
As with questions of materiality, if you are not sure whether information is considered public, you should either consult with the Compliance Administrator or assume that the information is “ non-public” and treat it as confidential.
| c. | Compliance Administrator. The Company has appointed David Earhart (dearhart@grayreed.com) as the Compliance Administrator for this Policy. The duties of the Compliance Administrator include, but are not limited to, the following: |
| i. | assisting with implementation of this Policy; | |
| ii. | circulating this Policy to all employees and ensuring that this Policy is amended as necessary to remain up-to-date with insider trading laws; | |
| iii. | pre-clearing all trading in securities of the Company by Covered Persons in accordance with the procedures set forth in Part II, Section 3 below; and | |
| iv. | providing approval of any transactions under Part II, Section 4 below. |
| 4. | Violations of Insider Trading Laws |
Penalties for trading while in possession of or communicating material non- public information can be severe, both for individuals involved in such unlawful conduct and their employers and supervisors, and may include jail terms, criminal fines, civil penalties and civil enforcement actions. Given the severity of the potential penalties, compliance with this Policy is mandatory.
| a. | Legal Penalties. A person who violates insider trading laws by engaging in transactions in a company’s securities when he or she is in possession of material non-public information can be sentenced to a substantial jail term and required to pay a penalty of several times the amount of profits gained or losses avoided. |
In addition, a person who tips others may also be liable for transactions by the tippees to whom he or she has disclosed material non-public information. Tippers can be subject to the same penalties and sanctions as the tippees, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has imposed large penalties even when the tipper did not profit from the transaction.
The SEC can also seek substantial penalties from any person who, at the time of an insider trading violation, “directly or indirectly controlled the person who committed such violation,” which would apply to the Company and/or management and supervisory personnel.
| b. | Company-imposed Penalties. Employees who violate this Policy may be subject to disciplinary action by the Company, including dismissal for cause. Any exceptions to the Policy, if permitted, may only be granted by the Compliance Administrator and must be provided before any activity contrary to the above requirements takes place. |

PART II
| 1. | Blackout Periods |
All Covered Persons are prohibited from trading in the Company’s securities during blackout periods.
| a. | Quarterly Blackout Periods. Trading in the Company’s securities is prohibited during the period beginning at the close of market on the fifteenth day prior to the end of each fiscal quarter and ending at the open of market on the second trading day following the date the Company’s financial results are publicly disclosed. During these periods, Covered Persons generally possess or are presumed to possess material non-public information about the Company’s financial results. |
| b. | Other Blackout Periods. From time to time, other types of material non- public information regarding the Company (such as negotiation of mergers, acquisitions or dispositions or new product developments) may be pending and not publicly disclosed. While such material non-public information is pending, the Company may impose special blackout periods during which Covered Persons are prohibited from trading in the Company’s securities. If the Company imposes a special blackout period, pre-clearance of a trade will not be granted by the Compliance Administrator. |
| c. | Exception. These trading restrictions do not apply to transactions under a pre-existing written plan, contract, instruction or arrangement under Rule 10b5-1 (an “Approved 10b5-1 Plan”) that: |
| i. | has been reviewed and approved in advance of any trades thereunder by the Compliance Administrator (or, if revised or amended, such revisions or amendments have been reviewed and approved by the Compliance Administrator); |
| ii. | was entered into in good faith by the Covered Person at a time when the Covered Person was not in possession of material non-public information about the Company; and |
| iii. | gives a third-party the discretionary authority to execute such purchases and sales, outside the control of the Covered Person, so long as such third-party does not possess any material non-public information about the Company; or explicitly specifies the security or securities to be purchased or sold, the number of shares, the prices and/or dates of transactions, or other formula(s) describing such transactions. |
| 2. | Trading Window |
Covered Persons are permitted to trade in the Company’s securities only when no blackout period is in effect. Generally, this means that Covered Persons can trade during the period beginning at the open of market on the second trading day following the date the Company’s financial results are publicly disclosed for the previous quarter or year and ending at the close of market on the fifteenth day prior to the end of the next fiscal quarter. However, even during this trading window, a Covered Person who is in possession of any material non-public information may not trade in the Company’s securities until the information has been made publicly available or is no longer material. In addition, the Company may close this trading window if a special blackout period under Part II, Section 1(b) above is imposed and will re-open the trading window once the special blackout period has ended.
Approved 10b5-1 plans are subject to a cooling-off period for directors and officers of the later of: (1) 90 days following plan adoption or modification; or (2) two business days following the disclosure in certain periodic reports of the issuer’s financial results for the fiscal quarter in which the plan was adopted or modified (but not to exceed 120 days following plan adoption or modification) before any trading can commence under the trading arrangement. A cooling-off period of 30 days for persons other than issuers or directors and officers before any trading can commence under the trading arrangement or modification
| 4 |
| 3. | Pre-clearance of Securities Transactions |
| a. | Because Covered Persons are likely to obtain material non-public information on a regular basis, the Company requires all such persons to refrain from trading, even during a trading window under Part II, Section 2 above, without first pre-clearing all transactions in the Company’s securities. |
| b. | Subject to the exemption in subsection (d) below, no Covered Person may, directly or indirectly, purchase or sell (or otherwise make any transfer, gift, pledge or loan of) any Company security at any time without first obtaining prior approval from the Compliance Administrator. These procedures also apply to transactions by such person’s spouse, other persons living in such person’s household and minor children and to transactions by entities over which such person exercises control. |
| c. | The Compliance Administrator shall record the date each request is received and the date and time each request is approved or disapproved. Unless revoked, a grant of permission will normally remain valid until the close of trading two business days following the day on which it was granted. If the transaction does not occur during the two-day period, pre-clearance of the transaction must be re- requested. |
| d. | Pre-clearance is not required for purchases and sales of securities under an Approved 10b5-1 Plan. With respect to any purchase or sale under an Approved 10b5-1 Plan, the third-party effecting transactions on behalf of the Covered Person should be instructed to send duplicate confirmations of all such transactions to the Compliance Administrator. |
| 4. | Prohibited Transactions |
A Covered Person, including such person’s spouse, other persons living in such person’s household and minor children and entities over which such person exercises control, is prohibited from engaging in the following transactions in the Company’s securities unless advance approval is obtained from the Compliance Administrator:
| a. | Short sales. Covered Persons may not sell the Company’s securities short; |
