Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Background, Basis of Presentation and Liquidity | (1) Background, Basis of Presentation and Liquidity (a) Background Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) was founded in 1984 in New Jersey, commenced business operations in 1994 and re-incorporated in Delaware in 2007. We provide ocean data collection and reporting, marine power, offshore communications and Domain Awareness Systems (“MDA” or “MDAS”) products, integrated solutions, and consulting services. Our solutions focus on four major service areas: Data as a Service (“DaaS”), which includes data collected by our Wave Adaptive Modular Vessel (WAM-V®) autonomous vehicles or our PowerBuoy® product lines; Robotics as a Service (“RaaS”), which provides a lower cost subscription model for our customers to access use of our WAM-V’s®; Power as a Service (“PaaS”), which includes our PowerBuoy® products; and our Strategic Consulting Services. We offer our products and services to a wide-range of customers, including those in government and offshore energy, oil and gas, construction, wind power and other industries. We are involved in the entire life cycle of product development, from product design through assembly, testing, deployment, maintenance and upgrades, while working closely with partners across our supply chain. Our solutions are based on technologies that enable autonomous, zero or low carbon emitting, and cost effective data collection, analysis, transportation and communication. Our solutions are primarily suited to ocean and other offshore environments, and support generation of actionable intelligence on a standalone basis or working with other data sources. We then channel the information we collect, and other communications, through control equipment linked to edge computing and cloud hosting environments. Our goal is to generate most of our revenues from the sale or lease of our products and solutions. As we continue to commercialize our products and services, we expect to have a decrease in cash to fund operating activities until we achieve positive cash flow from the meaningful progress we have made in orders, pipeline, and backlog across our business. (b) Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and for interim financial information in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year or for any other interim period. Further information on potential factors that could affect the Company’s financial results can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2023, as filed with the SEC and elsewhere in our subsequent Exchange Act filings, including this Form 10-Q. Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. This reclassification had no impact on the previously reported net loss and comprehensive loss. (c) Liquidity For the six months ended October 31, 2023, the Company incurred net losses of approximately $ 14.3 15.5 294.3 3.5 15.4 |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries, Marine Advanced Robotics Inc. (CA), 3dent Technologies LLC (TX), Oregon Wave Energy Partners I LLC (DE), ReedSport OPT WavePark, LLC (OR) and Ocean Power Technologies Ltd. in the United Kingdom. ReedSport OPT WavePark, LLC (OR) and Oregon Wave Energy Partners I, LLC (DE) were dissolved during the first quarter of fiscal 2024. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (b) Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make several estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, among other items, stock-based compensation, over time revenue recognition, valuation consideration related to business combinations, including contingent consideration, and other assumptions and estimates used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (c) Business Combinations The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with Financial Accounting and Standards Board (“FASB”) Business Combinations (Topic 805). The Company allocates the fair value of consideration transferred in a business combination to the estimated fair value at the acquisition date of the tangible and intangible assets acquired as well as the liabilities assumed. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. Any excess consideration transferred is recorded as goodwill and in instances where the fair value of consideration transferred is less than the estimated fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed, such amounts are recorded as a gain on the bargain purchase. (d) Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Security Agreements and Short Term Investments Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company invests excess cash in a money market account or in short term investments that are held-to-maturity. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $ 3.3 6.9 Restricted Cash and Security Agreements The Company has a letter of credit agreement with Santander Bank, N.A. (“Santander”). Cash of $ 156,000 Santander also issued a letter of credit to subsidiaries of Enel Green Power (“EGP”) pursuant to the Company’s contracts with EGP. This letter of credit was originally issued in August 2020 and has a remaining amount of $ 65,000 The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets that total to the same amounts shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Schedule of Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash October 31, 2023 April 30, 2023 (in thousands) Cash and cash equivalents $ 3,292 $ 6,883 Restricted cash- short term 219 65 Restricted cash- long term — 155 Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents $ 3,511 $ 7,103 Short Term Investments As of October 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023, the carrying value was approximately $ 15.4 27.8 The total accretion of discounts (amortization of premium) recognized for the six month periods ended October 31, 2023 and 2022 is approximately $ 0.2 (0.2) 0.1 (0.06) The following table summarizes the Company’s short term investments as of October 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023: Schedule of Investments and Unrealized Gains/Losses October 31, 2023 April 30, 2023 Category Amortized Cost Unrealized Gains Market Value Amortized Cost Unrealized Gains Market Value (in thousands) (in thousands) Corporate Bonds $ 6,911 $ 56 $ 6,967 $ 14,776 $ 100 $ 14,876 Government Bonds & Notes 6,692 $ 35 6,727 9,188 $ 33 9,221 Government Agency Bonds 1,824 $ 23 1,847 3,826 25 3,851 Total Short Term Investments $ 15,427 $ 114 $ 15,541 $ 27,790 $ 158 $ 27,948 (e) Inventory In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 330 (ASC 330), inventory is stated at the lower of costs or net realizable value applicable to goods on hand remaining after the matching of absorbed costs with concurrent revenues. The Company has three classes of inventory; raw materials, work in process, and finished goods. Items remain in inventory until they are shipped to the customer, at which time the costs are transferred on a FIFO basis to cost of revenue, or moved to leased assets as applicable. (f) Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are stated at the net amount expected to be collected. Amounts are ordinarily due between 30 and 90 days after the issuance of the invoice. We are exposed to credit losses primarily on our accounts receivable and contract assets related to our sales to customers. If applicable, an allowance for credit losses is established to provide for the expected lifetime credit losses by evaluating factors such as customer creditworthiness, historical payment and loss experiences, current economic conditions (including geographic and political risk), and the age and status of outstanding receivables. Based on these factors, management has determined the allowance for credit losses was immaterial. Expected credit losses are written off in the period in which the financial asset is no longer collectible. The Company grants credit to its customers, generally, without collateral, under normal payment terms (typically 30 to 90 days after invoicing). Generally, invoicing occurs after the services are performed or control of the product has transferred to the customer. Accounts receivable represent an unconditional right to consideration arising from the Company’s performance under contracts with customers. (g) Property and Equipment, net Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives (three to ten years) of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the remaining lease term. Expenses for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Property and equipment is also reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, then an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Schedule of Property, Plant and Equipment, Useful Life Description Estimated depreciable life Equipment 5 7 years Computer equipment & software 3 years Office furniture & fixtures 3 7 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of the estimated useful life or lease term Leased Power Buoys assets 10 years Leased WAM-V assets 10 years (h) Foreign Exchange Gains and Losses The Company maintains cash accounts that are denominated in British pound sterling. These amounts are included in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Transactions denominated in a foreign currency may result in realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses from exchange rate fluctuations, which are included in “Foreign exchange (loss)/gain” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. (i) Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable, short term investments and cash equivalents. The Company believes that its credit risk is limited because the Company’s current contracts are with entities with a reliable payment history. The Company invests its excess cash in a money market fund and short term held-to maturity investments and does not believe that it is exposed to any significant risks related to its cash accounts, money market fund, or held-to maturity investments. Cash is also maintained at foreign financial institutions. Cash in foreign financial institutions as of October 31, 2023 was immaterial. For the six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had three and four customers whose revenues accounted for at least 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenues, respectively. These revenues accounted for approximately 55 69 71 80 (j) Share-Based Compensatio Costs resulting from all share-based payment transactions are recognized in the consolidated financial statements at their fair values. The aggregate share-based compensation expense recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $ 0.7 0.6 0.3 0.3 (k) Revenue Recognition The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606 (ASC 606) for contracts with customers and Accounting Standards Codification 842 (ASC 842) for leasing arrangements. In relation to ASC 606, which states that a performance obligation is the unit of account for revenue recognition, the Company assesses the goods or services promised in a contract with a customer and identifies as a performance obligation as either: a) a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct; or b) a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. A contract may contain a single performance obligation or multiple performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contracted transaction price to each performance obligation based upon the relative standalone selling price, which represents the price the Company would sell a promised good or service separately to a customer. The Company determines the standalone selling price based upon the facts and circumstances of each obligated good or service. When no observable standalone selling price is available, the standalone selling price is generally estimated based upon the Company’s forecast of the total cost to satisfy the performance obligation plus an appropriate profit margin. The nature of the Company’s contracts may give rise to several types of variable consideration, including unpriced change orders, liquidated damages and penalties. Variable consideration can also arise from modifications to the scope of services. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur once the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include such amounts in the transaction price are based largely on our assessment of legal enforceability, performance, and any other information (historical, current, and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. There was no variable consideration as of October 31, 2023 or 2022. The Company presents shipping and handling costs, that occur after control of the promised goods or services transfer to the customer, as fulfillment costs in costs of goods sold and regular shipping and handling activities charged to operating expenses. The Company recognizes revenue when or as it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a good or service to a customer, either (1) at a point in time or (2) over time. A good or service is transferred when or as the customer obtains control. The evaluation of whether control of each performance obligation is transferred at a point in time or over time is made at contract inception. Input measures such as costs incurred are utilized to assess progress against specific contractual performance obligations for the Company’s services. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the services to be provided. For the Company, the input method using costs or labor hours incurred best represents the measure of progress against the performance obligations incorporated within the contractual agreements. If estimated total costs on any contract project a loss, the Company charges the entire estimated loss to operations in the period the loss becomes known. The cumulative effect of revisions to revenue, estimated costs to complete contracts, including penalties, change orders, claims, anticipated losses, and others are recorded in the accounting period in which the events indicating a loss are known and the loss can be reasonably estimated. These loss projections are re-assessed for each subsequent reporting period until the project is complete. Such revisions could occur at any time and the effects may be material. During the six-month period ended October 31, 2023 the Company recognized approximately $ 1.2 0.9 0.5 0.4 The Company’s contracts are either cost-plus contracts, fixed-price contracts, time and material agreements, lease or service agreements. Under cost plus contracts, customers are billed for actual expenses incurred plus an agreed-upon fee. The Company has two types of fixed-price contracts, firm fixed-price and cost-sharing. Under firm fixed-price contracts, the Company receives an agreed-upon amount for providing products and services specified in the contract, and a profit or loss is recognized depending on whether actual costs are more or less than the agreed upon amount. Under cost-sharing contracts, the fixed amount agreed upon with the customer is only intended to fund a portion of the costs on a specific project. Under cost sharing contracts, an amount corresponding to the revenue is recorded in cost of revenue, resulting in gross profit on these contracts of zero. The Company’s share of the costs is recorded as product development expense. The Company reports its disaggregation of revenue by contract type since this method best represents the Company’s business. For the six-month periods ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, the majority of the Company’s contracts were classified as firm fixed-price and the remainder were cost-sharing. The Company’s contract assets and liabilities primarily relate to the timing differences between cash received from a customer in connection with contractual rights to invoicing and the timing of revenue recognition following completion of performance obligations. The Company’s accounts receivable balance is made up entirely of customer contract related balances. The Company’s revenue also includes revenue from certain contracts which do not fall within the scope of ASC 606, but under the scope of ASC 842. At inception of a contract for those classified under ASC 842, the Company classifies leases as either operating or financing in accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance contained within ASC Topic 842, “Leases”. If the direct financing or sales-type classification criteria are met, then the lease is accounted for as a finance lease. All others are treated as operating leases. The Company recognizes revenue from operating lease arrangements generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term, or as agreed upon in-use days are utilized, which is presented in Revenue in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company also enters into lease arrangements for its PowerBuoys® and Wave Adaptive Modular Vessels (“WAM-V®”) with certain customers. Revenue related to multiple-element arrangements is allocated to lease and non-lease elements based on their relative standalone selling prices or expected cost plus a margin approach. Lease elements generally include a PowerBuoy®, WAM-V®, and components, while non-lease elements, which the Company expects to become more prevalent, generally include engineering, monitoring and support services. In the lease arrangement, the customer may be provided with an option to extend the lease term or purchase the leased buoy or WAM-V® at some point during and/or at the end of the lease term. As of October 31, 2023, the Company’s total remaining performance obligations, also referred to as backlog, totaled $ 4.5 70 3.2 Existing customers are subject to ongoing credit evaluations based on payment history and other factors. If it is determined that collectability of any portion of the contract value is not probable, an analysis of variable consideration will be performed using either the most likely amount or expected value method to determine the amount of revenue that must be constrained until the scenario causing the variability has been resolved. The Company has elected to record taxes collected from customers on a net basis and does not include tax amounts in revenue or costs of revenue. The below table represents the total revenue recognized under ASC 606 and ASC 842 for the three and six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022. Schedule of Revenue Recognizes From Operating Lease Arrangements Six months ended October 31, 2023 Six months ended ASC 606 ASC 842 Total ASC 606 ASC 842 Total (in thousands) (in thousands) Product Line: WAM-V $ 540 $ 509 $ 1,049 $ 420 $ 15 $ 435 Buoy 630 — 630 50 — 50 Services 482 — 482 532 — 532 Total $ 1,652 $ 509 $ 2,161 $ 1,002 $ 15 $ 1,017 Region: North and South America $ 1,652 $ 509 $ 2,161 $ 770 $ 15 $ 785 Asia and Australia — — — 232 — 232 Total $ 1,652 $ 509 $ 2,161 $ 1,002 $ 15 $ 1,017 Three months ended October 31, 2023 Three months ended ASC 606 ASC 842 Total ASC 606 ASC 842 Total (in thousands) (in thousands) Product Line: WAM-V $ 81 $ 266 $ 347 $ 98 $ — $ 98 Buoy 380 — 380 38 — 38 Services 162 — 162 167 — 167 Total $ 623 $ 266 $ 889 $ 303 $ — $ 303 Region: North and South America $ 623 $ 266 $ 889 $ 249 $ — $ 249 Asia and Australia — — — 54 — 54 Total $ 623 $ 266 $ 889 $ 303 $ — $ 303 (l) Net Loss per Common Share Basic and diluted net loss per share for all periods presented is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Due to the Company’s net losses, potentially dilutive securities, consisting of options to purchase shares of common stock, warrants on common stock and unvested restricted stock units (“RSU”) issued to employees and non-employee directors, were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation due to their anti-dilutive effect. In computing diluted net loss per share on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, warrants on common stock, options to purchase shares of common stock and unvested RSUs issued to employees and non-employee directors, totaling 7,294,852 6,242,465 (m) Intangibles Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized separately from goodwill and are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). Intangible assets, including patents, are amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset on a basis that approximates the pattern of economic benefit. The patents, trade name and customer relationship intangibles are being amortized over 20 12 10 Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment if indicators of potential impairment exist. There were no indications of potential impairment of intangible assets for the six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022. (n) Goodwill Goodwill is assessed for impairment using a qualitative or quantitative approach. The Company performs an annual impairment test of goodwill and further periodic tests to the extent indicators of impairment develop between annual impairment tests. There were no indications of potential impairment of goodwill identified for the six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022.Where the Company use a qualitative analysis, it considers factors that include historical financial performance, macroeconomic and industry conditions, and the legal and regulatory environment. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, then a quantitative assessment is also performed. The quantitative assessment requires an analysis of several estimates including future cash flows or income consistent with management’s strategic business plans, annual sales growth rates and the selection of assumptions underlying a discount rate (weighted average cost of capital) based on market data available at the time to determine fair value of the Company. If the fair value is less than the carrying amounts, an impairment charge for the difference is recorded. The Company acquired goodwill as part of its purchase of MAR. Management performed its annual qualitative assessment in fiscal year 2023 and determined that it is more likely than not that no goodwill impairment existed as of April 30, 2023. (o) Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under ACS 740 utilizing the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards are expected to be recovered, settled or utilized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. If such event occurs, a valuation allowance is recorded. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon examination. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in selling, general, and administrative expenses, to the extent incurred. Refer to Note 15 for additional disclosure. (p) Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss The functional currency for the Company’s foreign operations is the applicable local currency. The translation from the applicable foreign currencies to U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using an average exchange rate during the period. The unrealized gains or losses resulting from such translation are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss within Shareholders’ Equity. For the six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no amounts recorded to other comprehensive (income) loss due to limited foreign operations. (q) Warranty The Company does not include a right of return on its products other than rights related to standard warranty provisions that permit repair or replacement of defective goods. (r) Research and Development Costs related to research and development activities by the Company are expensed as incurred. The Company had approximately $ 4.0 4.7 2.1 2.3 (s) Recently Issued Accounting Standards There have been no recently issued accounting standards in the current period that would significantly affect the Company’s financial statements, that have not been address in prior periods. |

The remaining term on these operating leases is less than 2 Lessee Information Right-of-use asset and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. When the implicit rate of the lease is not provided or cannot be determined, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the effective date to determine the present value of future payments. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options. The renewal options have not been included in the lease term as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. The Company’s operating leases consist of leases for office facilities and warehouse space. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight- line basis over the lease term and consists of interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right of use asset. The Company has a lease for its facility located in Monroe Township, New Jersey that is used as warehouse/production space and the Company’s principal offices and corporate headquarters. The lease includes an initial lease term of seven years The Company also has a lease for office space located in Houston, Texas for office space.

A total of 1,332,036 3,050,000 4,382,036 684,000 On January 18, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Company’s Employment Inducement Incentive Award Plan (the “2018 Inducement Plan”) pursuant to which the Company reserved 25,000 250,000 275,000 111,000 Stock Options The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option award granted with service-based vesting requirements, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, assuming no dividends, and using weighted average valuation assumptions. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant commensurate with the expected life of the award. The expected life (estimated period of time outstanding) of the stock options granted was estimated using the “simplified” method as permitted by the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, Share-Based Payment.

Commitments and Contingencies | (14) Commitments and Contingencies Spain Income Tax Audit The Company underwent an income tax audit in Spain for the period from 2011 to 2014, when its Spanish branch was closed. On July 30, 2018, the Spanish tax inspector concluded that although there was no tax owed in light of losses reported, the Company’s Spanish branch owed penalties for failure to properly account for the income associated with the funding grant. During the year ended April 30, 2022, the Company received notice from the Spanish Central Economic and Administrative Tribunal (“Spanish Tax Administration”) that it agreed with the inspector and ruled that the Company owes the full amount of the penalty in the amount of € 279,870 331,000 279,870 Shareholder Proxy Contest On June 16, 2023, a stockholder of the Company, Paragon Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Paragon”), informed the Company that Paragon was planning a proxy contest against the Company and intended to nominate candidates for election to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2023 Annual Meeting”). Paragon would later disclose that it is seeking to replace a majority of the six-member Board and, thereby, seek control of the Company. In connection with Paragon’s threatened proxy contest, the Company is currently defending against two litigation matters brought by Paragon in the Delaware Court of Chancery. On July 27, 2023, Paragon filed a complaint against the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery to enforce the demand that Paragon had made on July 17, 2023, to inspect the Company’s confidential books and records pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. On October 20, 2023, a Magistrate of the Delaware Court of Chancery issued a telephonic report regarding this matter and indicated that Paragon had asserted a proper purpose for its inspection demand. On October 25, 2023, the Company filed a Notice of Exceptions with the Delaware Court of Chancery to take exceptions to the Magistrate’s report. In its Notice of Exceptions, the Company detailed the areas of the Magistrate’s report that the Company took exception to, including, but not limited to: (i) the report’s conclusion that Paragon had stated a proper purpose for its books and records demand; (ii) the report’s conclusion that the primary purpose motivating Paragon’s demand was Paragon’s stated purpose; (iii) the report’s conclusion that Paragon’s stated purpose for its demand was not pretextual and that Paragon did not have improper ulterior motives; and (iv) the report’s conclusion as to the scope of inspection to be permitted pursuant to Paragon’s demand. On November 14, 2023, the Company filed its opening brief with respect to this matter. As of the date hereof, Paragon has not filed its answering brief, and the Delaware Court of Chancery has not scheduled any further action with respect to this matter. On October 9, 2023, Paragon initiated litigation in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the Company and the Board alleging claims for breach of fiduciary duty and seeking declaratory and injunctive relief, including an injunction to (i) prevent the Company from rejecting the purported nominating notice that Paragon submitted to the Company on August 25, 2023 to notify the Company of its intention to nominate a majority slate of nominees at the 2023 Annual Meeting (the “Purported Nominating Notice”), and (ii) require the Company to approve Paragon’s request for an exemption from the Company’s Section 382 Tax Benefits Preservation Plan so that Paragon could purchase up to 19.9% of the Company’s common stock without triggering the dilution that would otherwise apply to the holder of 4.99% or more of the Company’s common stock General Legal Matters From time to time, the Company is involved in legal and administrative proceedings and claims of various types. The Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews these estimates each accounting period as additional information is known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is both probable to result in a liability and the amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company estimates and discloses the possible loss or range of loss to the extent necessary to make the consolidated financial statements not misleading. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in its consolidated financial statements. |

The guidance requires the Company to recognize in its consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company has no current or deferred tax due to current and projected losses for the year. The Company has appealed the results of the income tax audit in Spain for the period from 2011 to 2014, when the Company’s Spanish branch was closed (see Note 14). At October 31, 2023, the Company had no uncertain tax positions. The Company does not expect any material increase or decrease in its income tax expense or benefit in the next twelve months, related to examinations or uncertain tax positions. Net operating loss and credit carry forwards since inception remain open to examination by taxing authorities and will continue to remain open for a period of time after utilization. Tax Preservation Plan In June 2023, in order to protect the Company’s valuable tax assets related to its net operating losses from being limited or lost under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company adopted a Tax Benefits Preservation Plan (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the Plan, the Board declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (each, a “Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock of the Company. The dividend was distributed to stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 11, 2023. The Plan substantially diminishes the risk that the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss carryovers to reduce potential future federal income tax obligations may become substantially limited. The Plan is intended to act as a deterrent to any person or group acquiring beneficial ownership of 4.99 The Company determined the grant date fair value of the Rights using an option-pricing model. The amount was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements and deemed to be de minimis, and accordingly was not recorded to the financial statements. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Operating Segments and Geographic Information | (16) Operating Segments and Geographic Information The Company’s business consists of one reportable segment as the revenues associated with its different business lines are not material enough to justify segment reporting or to make it meaningful to investors, and our chief operating decision maker does not view the Company’s operations on a segment basis. The Company operates worldwide, with its U.S. operations in New Jersey, California, and Texas, and one operating subsidiary in the UK. Revenues and expenses are generally attributed to the operating unit that bills the customers. During each of the three and six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s primary business operations were in North America and the Middle East. |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Events | (17) Subsequent Events On November 9, 2023 the Company entered into an agreement to divest its wholly owned subsidiary 3dent Technologies LLC, for nominal consideration back to its former owners from whom it was originally acquired in February 2021. This divestiture was done so that the Company can more fully focus its efforts and resources on the commercialization of its cutting-edge pipeline of products – particularly for the national security and defense markets. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 6 Months Ended |
Oct. 31, 2023 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Consolidation | (a) Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries, Marine Advanced Robotics Inc. (CA), 3dent Technologies LLC (TX), Oregon Wave Energy Partners I LLC (DE), ReedSport OPT WavePark, LLC (OR) and Ocean Power Technologies Ltd. in the United Kingdom. ReedSport OPT WavePark, LLC (OR) and Oregon Wave Energy Partners I, LLC (DE) were dissolved during the first quarter of fiscal 2024. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Use of Estimates | (b) Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make several estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, among other items, stock-based compensation, over time revenue recognition, valuation consideration related to business combinations, including contingent consideration, and other assumptions and estimates used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Business Combinations | (c) Business Combinations The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with Financial Accounting and Standards Board (“FASB”) Business Combinations (Topic 805). The Company allocates the fair value of consideration transferred in a business combination to the estimated fair value at the acquisition date of the tangible and intangible assets acquired as well as the liabilities assumed. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. Any excess consideration transferred is recorded as goodwill and in instances where the fair value of consideration transferred is less than the estimated fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed, such amounts are recorded as a gain on the bargain purchase. |
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Security Agreements and Short Term Investments | (d) Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Security Agreements and Short Term Investments Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company invests excess cash in a money market account or in short term investments that are held-to-maturity. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $ 3.3 6.9 Restricted Cash and Security Agreements The Company has a letter of credit agreement with Santander Bank, N.A. (“Santander”). Cash of $ 156,000 Santander also issued a letter of credit to subsidiaries of Enel Green Power (“EGP”) pursuant to the Company’s contracts with EGP. This letter of credit was originally issued in August 2020 and has a remaining amount of $ 65,000 The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets that total to the same amounts shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Schedule of Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash October 31, 2023 April 30, 2023 (in thousands) Cash and cash equivalents $ 3,292 $ 6,883 Restricted cash- short term 219 65 Restricted cash- long term — 155 Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents $ 3,511 $ 7,103 Short Term Investments As of October 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023, the carrying value was approximately $ 15.4 27.8 The total accretion of discounts (amortization of premium) recognized for the six month periods ended October 31, 2023 and 2022 is approximately $ 0.2 (0.2) 0.1 (0.06) The following table summarizes the Company’s short term investments as of October 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023: Schedule of Investments and Unrealized Gains/Losses October 31, 2023 April 30, 2023 Category Amortized Cost Unrealized Gains Market Value Amortized Cost Unrealized Gains Market Value (in thousands) (in thousands) Corporate Bonds $ 6,911 $ 56 $ 6,967 $ 14,776 $ 100 $ 14,876 Government Bonds & Notes 6,692 $ 35 6,727 9,188 $ 33 9,221 Government Agency Bonds 1,824 $ 23 1,847 3,826 25 3,851 Total Short Term Investments $ 15,427 $ 114 $ 15,541 $ 27,790 $ 158 $ 27,948 |
Inventory | (e) Inventory In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 330 (ASC 330), inventory is stated at the lower of costs or net realizable value applicable to goods on hand remaining after the matching of absorbed costs with concurrent revenues. The Company has three classes of inventory; raw materials, work in process, and finished goods. Items remain in inventory until they are shipped to the customer, at which time the costs are transferred on a FIFO basis to cost of revenue, or moved to leased assets as applicable. |
Accounts Receivable | (f) Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are stated at the net amount expected to be collected. Amounts are ordinarily due between 30 and 90 days after the issuance of the invoice. We are exposed to credit losses primarily on our accounts receivable and contract assets related to our sales to customers. If applicable, an allowance for credit losses is established to provide for the expected lifetime credit losses by evaluating factors such as customer creditworthiness, historical payment and loss experiences, current economic conditions (including geographic and political risk), and the age and status of outstanding receivables. Based on these factors, management has determined the allowance for credit losses was immaterial. Expected credit losses are written off in the period in which the financial asset is no longer collectible. The Company grants credit to its customers, generally, without collateral, under normal payment terms (typically 30 to 90 days after invoicing). Generally, invoicing occurs after the services are performed or control of the product has transferred to the customer. Accounts receivable represent an unconditional right to consideration arising from the Company’s performance under contracts with customers. |
Property and Equipment, net | (g) Property and Equipment, net Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives (three to ten years) of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the remaining lease term. Expenses for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Property and equipment is also reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, then an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Schedule of Property, Plant and Equipment, Useful Life Description Estimated depreciable life Equipment 5 7 years Computer equipment & software 3 years Office furniture & fixtures 3 7 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of the estimated useful life or lease term Leased Power Buoys assets 10 years Leased WAM-V assets 10 years |
Foreign Exchange Gains and Losses | (h) Foreign Exchange Gains and Losses The Company maintains cash accounts that are denominated in British pound sterling. These amounts are included in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Transactions denominated in a foreign currency may result in realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses from exchange rate fluctuations, which are included in “Foreign exchange (loss)/gain” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | (i) Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable, short term investments and cash equivalents. The Company believes that its credit risk is limited because the Company’s current contracts are with entities with a reliable payment history. The Company invests its excess cash in a money market fund and short term held-to maturity investments and does not believe that it is exposed to any significant risks related to its cash accounts, money market fund, or held-to maturity investments. Cash is also maintained at foreign financial institutions. Cash in foreign financial institutions as of October 31, 2023 was immaterial. For the six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had three and four customers whose revenues accounted for at least 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenues, respectively. These revenues accounted for approximately 55 69 71 80 |
Share-Based Compensatio | (j) Share-Based Compensatio Costs resulting from all share-based payment transactions are recognized in the consolidated financial statements at their fair values. The aggregate share-based compensation expense recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $ 0.7 0.6 0.3 0.3 |
Revenue Recognition | (k) Revenue Recognition The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606 (ASC 606) for contracts with customers and Accounting Standards Codification 842 (ASC 842) for leasing arrangements. In relation to ASC 606, which states that a performance obligation is the unit of account for revenue recognition, the Company assesses the goods or services promised in a contract with a customer and identifies as a performance obligation as either: a) a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct; or b) a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. A contract may contain a single performance obligation or multiple performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contracted transaction price to each performance obligation based upon the relative standalone selling price, which represents the price the Company would sell a promised good or service separately to a customer. The Company determines the standalone selling price based upon the facts and circumstances of each obligated good or service. When no observable standalone selling price is available, the standalone selling price is generally estimated based upon the Company’s forecast of the total cost to satisfy the performance obligation plus an appropriate profit margin. The nature of the Company’s contracts may give rise to several types of variable consideration, including unpriced change orders, liquidated damages and penalties. Variable consideration can also arise from modifications to the scope of services. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur once the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include such amounts in the transaction price are based largely on our assessment of legal enforceability, performance, and any other information (historical, current, and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. There was no variable consideration as of October 31, 2023 or 2022. The Company presents shipping and handling costs, that occur after control of the promised goods or services transfer to the customer, as fulfillment costs in costs of goods sold and regular shipping and handling activities charged to operating expenses. The Company recognizes revenue when or as it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a good or service to a customer, either (1) at a point in time or (2) over time. A good or service is transferred when or as the customer obtains control. The evaluation of whether control of each performance obligation is transferred at a point in time or over time is made at contract inception. Input measures such as costs incurred are utilized to assess progress against specific contractual performance obligations for the Company’s services. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the services to be provided. For the Company, the input method using costs or labor hours incurred best represents the measure of progress against the performance obligations incorporated within the contractual agreements. If estimated total costs on any contract project a loss, the Company charges the entire estimated loss to operations in the period the loss becomes known. The cumulative effect of revisions to revenue, estimated costs to complete contracts, including penalties, change orders, claims, anticipated losses, and others are recorded in the accounting period in which the events indicating a loss are known and the loss can be reasonably estimated. These loss projections are re-assessed for each subsequent reporting period until the project is complete. Such revisions could occur at any time and the effects may be material. During the six-month period ended October 31, 2023 the Company recognized approximately $ 1.2 0.9 0.5 0.4 The Company’s contracts are either cost-plus contracts, fixed-price contracts, time and material agreements, lease or service agreements. Under cost plus contracts, customers are billed for actual expenses incurred plus an agreed-upon fee. The Company has two types of fixed-price contracts, firm fixed-price and cost-sharing. Under firm fixed-price contracts, the Company receives an agreed-upon amount for providing products and services specified in the contract, and a profit or loss is recognized depending on whether actual costs are more or less than the agreed upon amount. Under cost-sharing contracts, the fixed amount agreed upon with the customer is only intended to fund a portion of the costs on a specific project. Under cost sharing contracts, an amount corresponding to the revenue is recorded in cost of revenue, resulting in gross profit on these contracts of zero. The Company’s share of the costs is recorded as product development expense. The Company reports its disaggregation of revenue by contract type since this method best represents the Company’s business. For the six-month periods ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, the majority of the Company’s contracts were classified as firm fixed-price and the remainder were cost-sharing. The Company’s contract assets and liabilities primarily relate to the timing differences between cash received from a customer in connection with contractual rights to invoicing and the timing of revenue recognition following completion of performance obligations. The Company’s accounts receivable balance is made up entirely of customer contract related balances. The Company’s revenue also includes revenue from certain contracts which do not fall within the scope of ASC 606, but under the scope of ASC 842. At inception of a contract for those classified under ASC 842, the Company classifies leases as either operating or financing in accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance contained within ASC Topic 842, “Leases”. If the direct financing or sales-type classification criteria are met, then the lease is accounted for as a finance lease. All others are treated as operating leases. The Company recognizes revenue from operating lease arrangements generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term, or as agreed upon in-use days are utilized, which is presented in Revenue in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company also enters into lease arrangements for its PowerBuoys® and Wave Adaptive Modular Vessels (“WAM-V®”) with certain customers. Revenue related to multiple-element arrangements is allocated to lease and non-lease elements based on their relative standalone selling prices or expected cost plus a margin approach. Lease elements generally include a PowerBuoy®, WAM-V®, and components, while non-lease elements, which the Company expects to become more prevalent, generally include engineering, monitoring and support services. In the lease arrangement, the customer may be provided with an option to extend the lease term or purchase the leased buoy or WAM-V® at some point during and/or at the end of the lease term. As of October 31, 2023, the Company’s total remaining performance obligations, also referred to as backlog, totaled $ 4.5 70 3.2 Existing customers are subject to ongoing credit evaluations based on payment history and other factors. If it is determined that collectability of any portion of the contract value is not probable, an analysis of variable consideration will be performed using either the most likely amount or expected value method to determine the amount of revenue that must be constrained until the scenario causing the variability has been resolved. The Company has elected to record taxes collected from customers on a net basis and does not include tax amounts in revenue or costs of revenue. The below table represents the total revenue recognized under ASC 606 and ASC 842 for the three and six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022. Schedule of Revenue Recognizes From Operating Lease Arrangements Six months ended October 31, 2023 Six months ended ASC 606 ASC 842 Total ASC 606 ASC 842 Total (in thousands) (in thousands) Product Line: WAM-V $ 540 $ 509 $ 1,049 $ 420 $ 15 $ 435 Buoy 630 — 630 50 — 50 Services 482 — 482 532 — 532 Total $ 1,652 $ 509 $ 2,161 $ 1,002 $ 15 $ 1,017 Region: North and South America $ 1,652 $ 509 $ 2,161 $ 770 $ 15 $ 785 Asia and Australia — — — 232 — 232 Total $ 1,652 $ 509 $ 2,161 $ 1,002 $ 15 $ 1,017 Three months ended October 31, 2023 Three months ended ASC 606 ASC 842 Total ASC 606 ASC 842 Total (in thousands) (in thousands) Product Line: WAM-V $ 81 $ 266 $ 347 $ 98 $ — $ 98 Buoy 380 — 380 38 — 38 Services 162 — 162 167 — 167 Total $ 623 $ 266 $ 889 $ 303 $ — $ 303 Region: North and South America $ 623 $ 266 $ 889 $ 249 $ — $ 249 Asia and Australia — — — 54 — 54 Total $ 623 $ 266 $ 889 $ 303 $ — $ 303 |
Net Loss per Common Share | (l) Net Loss per Common Share Basic and diluted net loss per share for all periods presented is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Due to the Company’s net losses, potentially dilutive securities, consisting of options to purchase shares of common stock, warrants on common stock and unvested restricted stock units (“RSU”) issued to employees and non-employee directors, were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation due to their anti-dilutive effect. In computing diluted net loss per share on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, warrants on common stock, options to purchase shares of common stock and unvested RSUs issued to employees and non-employee directors, totaling 7,294,852 6,242,465 |
Intangibles | (m) Intangibles Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized separately from goodwill and are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). Intangible assets, including patents, are amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset on a basis that approximates the pattern of economic benefit. The patents, trade name and customer relationship intangibles are being amortized over 20 12 10 Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment if indicators of potential impairment exist. There were no indications of potential impairment of intangible assets for the six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022. |
Goodwill | (n) Goodwill Goodwill is assessed for impairment using a qualitative or quantitative approach. The Company performs an annual impairment test of goodwill and further periodic tests to the extent indicators of impairment develop between annual impairment tests. There were no indications of potential impairment of goodwill identified for the six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022.Where the Company use a qualitative analysis, it considers factors that include historical financial performance, macroeconomic and industry conditions, and the legal and regulatory environment. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, then a quantitative assessment is also performed. The quantitative assessment requires an analysis of several estimates including future cash flows or income consistent with management’s strategic business plans, annual sales growth rates and the selection of assumptions underlying a discount rate (weighted average cost of capital) based on market data available at the time to determine fair value of the Company. If the fair value is less than the carrying amounts, an impairment charge for the difference is recorded. The Company acquired goodwill as part of its purchase of MAR. Management performed its annual qualitative assessment in fiscal year 2023 and determined that it is more likely than not that no goodwill impairment existed as of April 30, 2023. |
Income Taxes | (o) Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under ACS 740 utilizing the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards are expected to be recovered, settled or utilized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. If such event occurs, a valuation allowance is recorded. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon examination. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in selling, general, and administrative expenses, to the extent incurred. Refer to Note 15 for additional disclosure. |
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss | (p) Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss The functional currency for the Company’s foreign operations is the applicable local currency. The translation from the applicable foreign currencies to U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using an average exchange rate during the period. The unrealized gains or losses resulting from such translation are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss within Shareholders’ Equity. For the six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no amounts recorded to other comprehensive (income) loss due to limited foreign operations. |
Warranty | (q) Warranty The Company does not include a right of return on its products other than rights related to standard warranty provisions that permit repair or replacement of defective goods. |
Research and Development | (r) Research and Development Costs related to research and development activities by the Company are expensed as incurred. The Company had approximately $ 4.0 4.7 2.1 2.3 |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | (s) Recently Issued Accounting Standards There have been no recently issued accounting standards in the current period that would significantly affect the Company’s financial statements, that have not been address in prior periods. |
