SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the respective fiscal years. The consolidated statement of financial condition at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statement presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 for additional disclosures and accounting policies. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact both assets and liabilities, including but not limited to: net realizable value of accounts receivable and inventory, estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, the valuation of intangible assets, estimate of fair value of share based payments and derivative liabilities, estimates of fair value of warrants issued and recorded as debt discount, estimates of tax liabilities and estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future nonconforming events. Accordingly, actual results will differ from estimates.

A U.S. and Global Licensing and Master Service Agreement dated December 4, 2023, which replaced a prior agreement with similar terms. The agreement expires on December 4, 2028 and includes automatic renewal provisions. Pursuant to such agreement, GE’s licensing team has the rights to exclusively license certain of the Company’s Standard and Smart plug-and-play products set forth in a statement of work in the U.S. and worldwide. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company expects that GE’s licensing team will seek and arrange licensee partners for our products in the U.S. and globally, including negotiating agreement terms, managing contracts, collecting payments, auditing partners, assisting with patent strategy and protection, and assisting in auditing product quality control under the “Nine Sigma” guidelines. For products licensed to third parties, the Company and GE will each receive a specified percentage of the revenue earned from such licensing, unless otherwise provided in the applicable statement of work. The second agreement consists of a letter agreement dated November 28, 2023, as amended on April 11, 2024. The agreement expires on December 15, 2027 and includes a Repayment Plan Under U.S. and Global Trademark Agreement dated June 15, 2011 (as later amended), which expired November 30, 2023, between SQL Lighting & Fans, LLC and GE Trademark Licensing, Inc. Under this new payment arrangement, the Company pays royalty payment obligation of $ 2.7 1.0 Loss Per Share Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stocks, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. The Company uses the “treasury stock” method to determine whether there is a dilutive effect of outstanding convertible debt, option, and warrant contracts. For the three- and nine-month ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized net loss and a dilutive net loss, and the effect of considering any common stock equivalents would have been antidilutive for the period. Therefore, a separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented for the periods presented. The Company had the following anti-dilutive common stock equivalents on September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023: SCHEDULE OF ANTI-DILUTIVE COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENTS September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 Stock warrants 1,817,523 2,063,522 Stock options 35,832,641 35,084,598 Unvested restricted stock 4,853,919 4,045,675 Convertible notes 6,475,709 3,920,005 Preferred stock — — Total 48,979,792 45,113,800 Anti-dilutive securities 48,979,792 45,113,800 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. |
