Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024

NOTE 1 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES

We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. These consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in our opinion, include all material adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated cash flows, operating results, and balance sheets for the periods presented. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for fiscal year 2025 due to seasonal and other factors. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes presented on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2024 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 29, 2025.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coda Octopus Group, Inc. and its wholly owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The accounting estimates and assumptions that require management’s most significant, challenging, and subjective judgment include estimates related to the percentage of completion method used to account for contracts including costs and earnings in excess of billings, billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings. Actual results realized by the Company may differ from management’s estimates.

NOTE 2 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”).

Topic 606 has established a five-step process to determine the amount of revenue to record from contracts with customers. The five steps are:

	●	Identify the contract with the customer;

	●	Identify the performance obligations in the contract with customer;

	●	Determine the transaction price;

	●	Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations; and

	●	Recognize revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied.

CODA OCTOPUS GROUP, INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024

NOTE 2 – REVENUE RECOGNITION (Continued)

We have three business segments:

	●	Marine Technology Business
	●	Acoustics Sensors and Materials Business; and
	●	Engineering Business

Marine Technology Business (“Products Business”)

The Products Business revenues are earned under written contracts with its customers. Its Business Model includes:

		Outright sale of underwater solutions (including hardware and software)
		Rental of underwater equipment (including hardware and software)
		Support services (including field installation and training)
		Technical Support Services
		Warranty Coverage and Through Life Support (TLS) sales
		Customization of technology services

All its products and services are sold on a stand-alone basis and those market prices are evidence of the value of these products and services. Revenue derived from outright sale is recognized when its performance obligations are met – typically upon delivery and passing of risks in accordance with the contract terms. For rentals the rental period typically commences when the equipment is under the control of the customer and revenue derived from these contracts is recognized on a daily basis during the rental period. Revenue derived from services is recognized when our performance obligations are met under the terms of the contract. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we recognize product revenue by allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis and recognize revenue when performance obligations are met. Software license sales for which any services rendered are not considered distinct to the functionality of the software, we recognize revenue upon delivery of the software by the provision of the software installers and activation codes to the software.

Our contracts sometimes require customer payments in advance of revenue recognition. These are recognized as revenue when we have fulfilled our obligations under the respective contracts. Until such time, we recognize these prepayments as deferred revenue.

Our contracts do not give the customer the right of return. Where there are contractual failures giving rise to post-sale obligations these are addressed under our warranty or through life support provisions. The Company calculates its warranty expense provision based on its historical warranty experience and adjustments are made periodically to reflect actual warranty expenses.

Acoustic Sensors and Materials Business (“PAL”)

PAL revenues are earned under written contracts with its customers. Its Business Model includes:

		Outright sale of sensors (including hardware and software) and materials
		Warranty Coverage
		Post Sale Calibration Services
		Customization of technology services

All its products and services are sold on a stand-alone basis and those market prices are evidence of the value of these products and services. Revenue derived from outright sale is recognized when its performance obligations are met – typically upon delivery and passing of risks in accordance with the contract terms. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we recognize product revenue by allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis and recognize revenue when performance obligations are met. Software license sales for which any services rendered are not considered distinct to the functionality of the software, we recognize revenue upon delivery of the software by the provision of the software installers and activation codes to the software.

Marine Engineering Business (“Services Business”)

The Services Business revenues are earned under written contracts with its customers. Its Business Model includes:

		Provision of engineering services
		Supply of various types of proprietary products (such as Thermite® and FireSafe®)
		Warranty Coverage
		Post-Sale Service and Repair

CODA OCTOPUS GROUP, INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024

NOTE 2 – REVENUE RECOGNITION (Continued)

With respect to revenues related to our Services Business, there are contracts in place that specify the fixed hourly rate and other reimbursable costs to be billed based on material and direct labor hours incurred and revenue is recognized on these contracts based on material and the direct labor hours incurred. Revenues from fixed-price contracts are recognized on the percentage of completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred (materials and direct labor hours) to date to estimated total cost (materials and direct labor hours) for each contract. This method is used as we consider expenditures for direct materials and labor hours to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.

On a quarterly basis, we examine all our fixed-price contracts to determine if there are any losses to be recognized during the period. Any such loss is recorded in the quarter in which the loss first becomes apparent based upon costs incurred to date and the estimated costs to complete as determined by experience from similar contracts. Variations from estimated contract performance could result in adjustments to operating results.

For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we recognize product revenue by allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis and recognize revenue when performance obligations are met.

Recoverability of Deferred Costs

In accordance with Topic 606, we defer costs on projects for service revenue. Deferred costs consist primarily of incremental direct costs to customize and install systems, as defined in individual customer contracts, including costs to acquire hardware and software from third parties and payroll costs for our employees and other third parties. The pricing of these service contracts is intended to provide for the recovery of these types of deferred costs over the life of the contract.

We recognize such costs in accordance with our revenue recognition policy by contract. For revenue recognized under the percentage of completion method, costs are recognized as products are delivered or services are provided in accordance with the percentage of completion calculation. For revenue recognized over time, costs are recognized ratably over the term of the contract, commencing on the date of revenue recognition. At each quarterly balance sheet date, we review deferred costs, to ensure they are ultimately recoverable.

Any anticipated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized when evidence indicates the estimated total cost of a contract exceeds its estimated total revenue.

Other Revenue Disclosures

See Notes 15 and 16 – Segment Analysis and Disaggregation of Revenue. These Notes respectively provide disclosure of our revenue by segment (Marine Technology Business, Acoustics Sensors and Materials Business and Services Business); revenues from external customers and cost of those revenues; and the split of revenue by geography including within and outside the USA.

NOTE 3 – COST OF GOODS SOLD

Our Cost of goods sold includes the cost of materials and related direct costs. With respect to sales made through the Company’s sales agents distribution network, we include in our costs of goods sold commission paid to agents for the specific sales they make. Without using agents, we would not be eligible to participate in the Request for Proposals (“RFP”) for these sales on which we incur commission costs. All other sales-related expenses, including those related to unsuccessful bids, are included in selling, general and administrative costs. As a component of cost of goods sold, commission costs incurred in the three month period ended January 31, 2025 were $245,509 compared to $293,184 for the three month period ended January 31, 2024.

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

NOTE 5 – FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Assets and liabilities are translated at the prevailing exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. Related revenues and expenses are translated at weighted average exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. Stockholders’ equity is recorded at the historical exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component in stockholders’ equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income or (loss) as may be appropriate. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

NOTE 8 – CONTRACTS IN PROGESS

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts represent accumulated project expenses and fees which have not been invoiced to customers as of the balance sheet date. These amounts are stated on the consolidated balance sheets as Unbilled Receivables and as of January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, these were $2,259,419 and $1,657,827, respectively.

Deferred Revenue as of January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, were respectively $1,004,800 and $1,225,634 and, consist of billings in excess of costs and payments received for future obligations such as our warranty or Through Life Support (“TLS”) obligations undertaken as part of our contracts.

Sales of equipment include a provision for warranty obligations or through life support (TLS) services. The contractual components relating to warranty and TLS are treated as deferred revenue over the corresponding period of the Company’s obligations under these deferred arrangements and are amortized over the relevant warranty or TLS period (12 months is our standard warranty contract obligation or for TLS 24, 36 or 60 months, depending on the contract) from the date of sale.

Deferred Revenue (current) includes paid customer invoices prior to delivery of the agreed service, customer prepaid technical support to be delivered within twelve months, provision for warranty services to be provided within twelve months or the current portion of TLS services. Deferred Revenue was $1,004,800 and $1,225,634 as of January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, respectively.

Deferred Revenue (“Current”) consisted of the following as of January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024:

NOTE 9 – ACQUISITIONS

On October 29, 2024, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of PAL for $6,538,569 in cash. At the acquisition date, the Company had immediate access to PAL’s cash balance of $1,933,284, which resulted in a net cash outlay at the acquisition date of $4,605,285. The Company agreed to pay the sellers for all cash in PAL’s bank account on the date of its acquisition, which was in excess of the agreed working capital amount of $595,869 and, as part of the transaction, the Company paid the sellers $1,337,415 for the excess cash balance.

The Company acquired PAL to gain access to its expertise in acoustic and medical imaging technologies which we believe can be leveraged through development for use in the subsea market, the primary sector for the Marine Technology Business and more broadly to expand the Group’s collective capabilities in order to qualify to compete for larger Defense-related contracts.

In the Current Quarter, PAL contributed revenues of $1,312,261 and earnings of $556,049 to our consolidated results. The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information of the Company as if the business combination had occurred at the beginning of the Company’s comparable quarterly reporting period, the unaudited supplemental pro-forma information concerning revenue and expenses for PAL (which have been translated from British Pound to USD using the exchange rate used by the Company for those reporting periods) is shown below:

SCHEDULE OF PROFORMA INFORMATION

	Pro forma January 31,			Pro forma January 31,

Combined Net Income	$	912,975		$	657,834
Net Income	$	912,975		$	657,834

The Company did not have any material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported proforma information.

These pro forma amounts have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the Company’s results to reflect the additional amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to intangible assets had been applied from 1 November 2024 through 31 January 2025.

In fiscal year 2024, the Company incurred $41,531 of acquisition related costs. These expenses are included general and administrative expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of income and Comprehensive Income for the year ended October 31, 2024.

The acquisition of PAL includes contingent consideration arrangements (“Earn Outs”) that requires additional consideration to be paid by the Company to the sellers of PAL based on future revenue and pre-tax income of PAL over a three-year period. These amounts are payable up to three years after the acquisition date. The potential Earn Out provision amounts as at October 31, 2024 are shown in the table below applying an exchange rate (from British Pound to USD) of $1.278973:

Earn Out	2025 FY		2026 FY		2027 FY
Revenue Target	$	5,334,584	$	5,867,914	$	6,454,962
Pre-Tax Profit Target	$	1,046,476	$	1,295,597	$	1,573,133
Earn Out Amount Payable based on Targets	$	208,472	$	418,223	$	652,275

Based on the projections the Company used, there would be no earnouts payable and, subsequently, no contingent liability for earnout payments has been recorded in the Company’s accounts in the Current Quarter. To the extent that the Company does not record a contingent liability for these payments, any amount actually earned under the earn out provisions would be expensed in the year the qualifying condition is met. The Company has up to one-year from October 29, 2024, to make any measurement period adjustments to the fair value of the opening balance sheet.

The goodwill is attributable to the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including an experienced workforce that will help accelerate product development and our go to market strategy, as well as expected future synergies generated by integrating PAL’s products with those in our existing platform. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Prior to the acquisition, PAL was a non-key supplier to our Marine Technology Business, which purchased on average approximately $80,000 of acoustic materials from PAL. It expects to continue to purchase these materials, at a similar dollar level, from PAL in the future.

The fair value of assets acquired includes non-competes and value of technology. The estimated future annual amortization expenses of finite-lived assets relating to the PAL acquisition for our fiscal year 2025 is $460,872 and in the Current Quarter our amortization expenses for PAL were $115,218.

NOTE 10 – CONCENTRATIONS

Significant Customers

During the three months ended January 31, 2025, the Company had one customer from whom it generated sales greater than 10% of net revenues. Revenue from this customer was $621,523, or 12.0% of net revenues during the three months ended January 31, 2025. Receivables from this customer were $555,146, or 16.1% of net receivables as of January 31, 2025.

During the three months ended January 31, 2024, the Company had three customers from whom it generated sales greater than 10% of net revenues. Revenue from these customers was $1,809,398, or 40.6% of net revenues during the three months ended January 31, 2024. Receivables from these customers were $1,047,960, or 34.6% of net receivables as of January 31, 2024.

NOTE 11 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

On October 27, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 will affect how we report segment information, starting with our Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2025, and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q starting with our quarterly report for the quarter ended January 31, 2026. The ASU requires that we provide disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items that are regularly provided to our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“the CODM”) and included in each reported measure of segment profit or loss. We will also have to disclose other segment items by reportable segment (i.e., the difference between reported segment revenue less the significant segment expenses (which are disclosed) less reported segment profit or loss). The information needed for these disclosures is available, and we are determining the best way to provide that information for these required segment disclosures.

On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”) which is an update to Topic 220, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income. ASU 2024-03 enhances transparency and decision-usefulness of expense disclosures in response to investors’ requests for more detailed, disaggregated expense information, enabling a clearer understanding of a public business entity’s performance and cost structure. The amendments improve disclosure requirements in financial statement notes for specific expense categories including: (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, (e) certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles in the same disclosure as other disaggregation requirements, (f) qualitative description of amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not necessarily disaggregated quantitatively, as well as (g) the total amount of selling expenses, and in annual reporting periods, the entity’s definition of selling expense. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and therefore will be included in our Form 10-K for our fiscal year 2028 and Form 10-Qs beginning after December 15, 2027 (i.e., our first quarter of fiscal 2029 interim report). Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating ASU 2024-03 to determine the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which is an update to Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments in this update relate to improvements regarding the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation by jurisdiction of information included in the effective income tax rate reconciliation and for income taxes paid. Also, the amendments allow investors to better assess an entity’s (i) capital allocation decisions, (ii) worldwide operations, and (iii) related tax risks, tax planning, and operational opportunities that affect the effective income tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The other amendments in this update improve the effectiveness and comparability of disclosures relating to pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit) and remove disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial or relevant. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public entities starting in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and therefore will be included in our Form 10-K for our fiscal year 2026. Early adoption is permitted. We expect that the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will not have an impact on our results of operations and financial condition but will have a material impact on the disclosures required in the relevant notes to the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 14 – 2017 AND 2021 STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS

2017 and 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (together “SIPs”)

On December 6, 2017, the Board of Directors adopted the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its stockholders by enabling the Company and its subsidiaries to attract and retain qualified individuals through opportunities for equity participation in the Company, and to reward those individuals who contribute to the Company’s achievement of its economic objectives. The Plan was adopted subject to stockholders’ approval and was approved by Stockholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting held on July 24, 2018 and provides for a maximum of 913,612 to be issued under this Plan. On July 12, 2021 a second plan was adopted by the Board of Directors (2021 Plan). The 2021 Plan is identical to the 2017 Plan in all material respects except that the maximum number of shares allocated for issuance is 1,000,000.

The shares allocated for issuance under the SIPs may, at the election of the Compensation Committee, be either treasury shares or shares authorized but unissued, and, if treasury shares are used, all references in the SIPs to the issuance of shares will, for corporate law purposes, be deemed to mean the transfer of shares from treasury.

Pursuant to the terms of the 2017 Plan, during the three months ended January 31, 2025, the Company granted 11,880 restricted stock awards. There were no forfeitures or treasury stock created. During the three months ended January 31, 2025 there were 49,503 options exercised on a cashless basis, pursuant to which 23,317 shares of common stock were issued and 26,186 were returned to the plan

As of January 31, 2025, there were 1,380,792 shares available for future issuance under the 2017 and 2021 Plans.

The total stock compensation expense during the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 was $100,145 (of which $81,400 constituted unregistered stock which was issued outside of the SIPs) and $77,076 respectively (Item 2 discusses this more fully).

NOTE 15 – SEGMENT ANALYSIS

We operate three reportable segments, “Marine Technology Products Business”, “Acoustic Sensors and Materials Business” and “Service Business” which are managed separately based upon fundamental differences in their operations, allocation of resources and markets.

Segment operating income is total segment revenue reduced by cost of revenues and operating expenses (research and development and selling, general & administrative) identifiable with the reporting business segment. Overhead includes general corporate administrative costs.

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based upon operating income. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the critical accounting policies in Item 2 of this Form 10-Q. Our CODM regularly reviews consolidated net sales, consolidated operating expenses, and consolidated operating income (loss) by segment. Amounts included in consolidated operating expenses include “cost of sales,” “R&D expenses”, “selling, general and administrative expenses,” and “other operating expense (income), net”. Our CODM manages our business by reviewing business plans and strategy, annual forecasts and consolidated results by segment on a quarterly basis.

There are inter-segment sales in the supplemental disclosures section of the table below which have been eliminated from our financial statements. There are no internal revenue transactions between our reportable segments. However, for the purpose of segment reporting, these inter-segment sales are only included in the table below.

● Marine Technology Business

The Marine Technology Business (“Products Business”) is a supplier to the underwater/subsea market and selling both hardware and software solutions which includes imaging sonar technology solutions, diving technology, geophysical products, rental equipment, customization, and field operations services.

● Acoustic Sensors and Materials Business

The Company acquired Precision Acoustics Limited (PAL) on October 29, 2024. PAL is a supplier of acoustic sensors and materials. PAL serves a broad base of markets such as the medical, subsea, defense, universities and research and development institutes.

● Services Business

The Services Business operate primarily as subcontractors to prime defense contractors where they provide engineering services which typically form part of larger mission critical defense systems.

The following tables summarize segment asset and operating balances by reportable segment for the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company’s reportable business segments sell their goods and services in four geographic locations:

	●	Americas

	●	Europe

	●	Australia/Asia

	●	Middle East/Africa

NOTE 17 – INCOME TAXES

Our tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter we may update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment.

Our quarterly tax provision, and our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate, is subject to significant variation, due to several factors including variability in accurately predicting our pre-tax income and/or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate. Our effective tax rate can be more or less volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income or loss.

We estimate that the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2025, and 2024, was 2.3% and 19.5% respectively. In the Current Quarter the U.S. companies had a tax benefit as they did not generate any taxable income, and which resulted in a decrease of the Company’s effective income tax rate from 25.0% for the U.S companies. In the Current Quarter the Company made award of restricted stock and recorded a deferred tax benefit of $26,989 compared to a deferred tax expense in the Previous Quarter of $187,071, as a result of the vesting of restricted stock awards. In respect of the Company’s UK subsidiaries, no tax provision for the three months to January 31, 2025 has been made as we believe our R&D tax credits will offset any tax liability incurred in this period. In the Current Quarter, we made a tax provision of 22.0% for our Danish Subsidiary.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact made herein are forward looking. In particular, the statements herein regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “estimates,” “could,” “possibly,” “probably,” anticipates,” “projects,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” or “should” or other variations or similar words. No assurance can be given that the future results anticipated by the forward-looking statements will be achieved. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our actual results may differ significantly from management’s expectations.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, included herewith and the audited financial statements with their accompanying notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 29, 2025. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management.

General Overview

We sell our goods and services internationally, with $3,910,878 or 75.1% of our consolidated revenue in the Current Quarter generated outside of the United States and 20% of our revenue from the Defense sector. Macroeconomic factors, including changes in inflation and interest rates, as well as global economic and geopolitical developments, world events, significant changes in trade policies and funding policies, have direct and indirect impacts on our results of operations that are difficult to isolate and quantify. These factors may impact customer demand for our products and services and our ability to forecast spending patterns. We expect some or all of these factors to continue to impact our operations in fiscal year 2025.

The new U.S. Administration is rapidly changing key policies in the area of trade, defense and foreign policy which has resulted in general uncertainty around the world. As part of this, offshore renewable permits have been suspended for some developments in the U.S. and many leading developers such as Shell, Orsted, BP and Total Energy have either reduced or halted their US offshore renewable programs. We believe that these factors have resulted in weak demand for our solutions across all sectors which caused a decrease in revenue by our Marine Technology Business. Notwithstanding the change in the U.S Policy on renewables (where it has suspended permits for offshore renewable developments), its new policy on prioritizing domestic energy production of Oil & Gas also favors our products and solutions and we believe that this new policy will in the foreseeable future offset any reduction of revenue from US offshore renewables which we may experience. Furthermore, a key part of our strategy as a Group relies on Defense spending. Although it is widely reported in the Press that the policy of the new U.S Administration is to reduce Defense spending by 8% over a number of years, its foreign policy on Defense has also seen Europe including the United Kingdom committing to significantly increase spending on Defense, with Germany expecting to spend about €400 billion ($428 billion) on defense over the coming years in addition to creating a special fund of €500 billion ($535 billion) for infrastructure spending over the next 10 years. The Leaders of the European Union member states have also agreed to allow the member states to exceed the debt ceilings that are in place to allow the countries to borrow for defense investments. We therefore believe that despite the short-term disruption caused by uncertainty around the new U.S. Administration’s critical policies relating to trade, defense spending and foreign policy, we believe that these changes will favor our Business in the medium to long term.

In respect of tariffs, as of today, we are not directly impacted by tariffs. However, to the extent that these may result in a weakening of the global economy due to reduced demand we may be affected. Furthermore, some of our products are manufactured in the United Kingdom and should the new Administration change its trade policy vis-à-vis the UK, and if our products are within the items that are subject to any such tariffs and we import these into the U.S., we would be impacted.

Throughout these discussions “Current Quarter” means the Three-month period ended January 31, 2025 and “Previous Quarter” means the Three-month period ended January 31, 2024.

The Company operates three distinct businesses:

	●	the Marine Technology Business (also referred to in this Form 10-Q as “Products Business”, or “Products Segment” or “Core Business”);

	●	Acoustic Sensors and Materials Business (also referred to in this Form 10-Q as “PAL”);

	●	the Marine Engineering Business (also referred to in this Form 10-Q as “Engineering Business”, or “Services Business” or “Services Segment”).

Our Marine Technology Business is an established technology solution provider of over 30 years to the offshore subsea market. It owns key proprietary technology (comprising both hardware and software) including its real time 3D imaging sonar and its cutting-edge augmented reality diving solution DAVD (Diver Augmented Vision Display) system. These solutions are used in both the underwater Defense and Commercial markets. This Business recently launched its new underwater digital communications system which advances the offering in the market from analog voice communications to digital voice communications underwater (Voice-Hub-4). All innovation, design, development, manufacturing and support are performed within the Company.

Our novel diving technology is distributed under the name “CodaOctopus^®DAVD” to the global defense and commercial diving markets. The DAVD is a fully integrated diving solution which provides the diver with a fully connected head up display (HUD) which is used as his data portal. The DAVD provides the dive supervisor on the surface with a fully integrated suite of sensors and allows the diver and dive supervisor to share the same data in real time and visualize the same underwater scene.

Although we generate most of our revenues from our real time 3D sonar and DAVD which include both proprietary hardware and software, we have a number of other products such as our inertial navigation systems (F280 Series^®) and our geophysical hardware (DA4G) and software solutions (GeoSurvey and Survey Engine^®, which include artificial intelligence based automatic detection systems). Our customers include offshore service providers to major oil and gas companies, renewable energy companies, underwater construction companies, law enforcement agencies, ports, mining companies, defense bodies, prime defense contractors, navies, research institutes and universities and diving companies.

On October 29, 2024 we acquired PAL which is a recognized leader in the ultrasound and acoustic measurement field. PAL supplies acoustic sensors and materials to a broad range of markets including the medical, aerospace, subsea and automotive industries. It also provides measurement and calibration services for the sensors that they supply.

The Services Business has operations in the USA and UK. Its central business model is working with Prime Defense Contractors to design and manufacture sub-assemblies for utilization into larger defense mission critical integrated systems (“MCIS”). An example of such MCIS is the US Close-In-Weapons Support (CIWS) Program for the Phalanx radar-guided cannon used on combat ships. These proprietary sub-assemblies, once approved within the MCIS program, afford the Services Business the status of preferred supplier. Such status permits it to supply these sub-assemblies and upgrades in the event of obsolescence or advancement of technology for the life of the MCIS program. Clients include prime defense contractors such as Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Thales Underwater and BAE Systems. The scope of services provided by the Services Business encompasses concept, design, prototype and manufacturing.

Key Pillars for our Growth Plans (“Core Business”)

Our volumetric real time 3D imaging sonar technology and our DAVD are our most promising products for the Company’s near-term growth.

We believe that our real time 3D/4D/5D/6D imaging sonars (Echoscope® and Echoscope PIPE®) are the only underwater imaging sonars which are capable of providing complex seabed mapping, real time inspection and monitoring and providing 3D/4D/5D/6D data of moving underwater objects irrespective of water conditions including in zero visibility (which is a common and costly problem in underwater operations). Competing products such as the multibeam sonar can perform mapping (but not complex mapping) without the ability to perform real time inspection and monitoring of moving objects underwater. We also believe our Echoscope PIPE^® is the only technology that can generate multiple real time 3D/4D/5D/6D acoustic images using different acoustic parameters such as frequency, field of view, pulse length, filters and different beamforming modes.

We also believe that the DAVD system, which is a new technology and presents significant capabilities to the diving market, is poised to radically change the way diving operations are performed globally by providing a fully integrated suite of sensor data shared in real time by the dive supervisor on the surface and the diver. Current diving is done largely by voice command missions from the topside using disparate suite of systems for video data, communications, and positioning.

The DAVD tethered variant is now in the early stage of adoption by different teams within the US Navy such as the underwater construction and salvage teams. The DAVD which is included on the Authorized Navy Use (“ANU”) list is a standard item available for purchase within the Navy community and some of these commands are now requesting this solution for their operations.

The biggest opportunity for the DAVD technology in the USA is the DAVD untethered system (“DUS”), with the target market being special forces and we continue to customize the technology (under a funded program (DUS Hardening Program), for use by the special forces community. We have reached a key milestone under the DUS Hardening Program by delivering the new generation of DAVD HUD GEN 4.0 with a much-reduced form factor and displaying data at a significantly higher resolution. We anticipate that in Fiscal Year 2025 we will receive initial orders for the DUS variant.

Factors Affecting our Business in the Current Quarter

The following are some of the most critical factors that affected our business during the Current Quarter. Our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024, contains additional factors that are hereby deemed incorporated by reference.

Inflation

Inflation measured as the Consumer Price Index has affected the global economy since calendar year 2022, and which was caused by supply chain issues resulting from the coronavirus pandemic and which has since been further compounded by the war in Ukraine which has affected the price of commodities such as oil. Inflation has since remained volatile in the countries in which we operate and continues to be a threat to the global economy. For the 12-month period preceding January 2025, this was:

Denmark 1.5% - source: Statistics Denmark,

UK 3.9% - source: Office of National Statistics; and

USA 3.0% - source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Inflation affects our business in a number of areas including increasing our cost of operations and materials and demand for our goods and services in general, and therefore our overall financial results. See “Inflation and Foreign Currency” section of this Form 10-Q.

Change in Global Trade Policy

We sell our goods and services globally and a large percentage of our revenue emanates from international sales. Any change in policy that restricts the free flow of goods and services is likely to dampen demand for our goods and services. The recent change in trade policy by the U.S. vis-à-vis the rest of the world has created significant uncertainties. Our revenue mix is a combination of outright sales and rentals. Rentals are driven by offshore projects. However, since the change in the U.S Administration policy on the funding of offshore renewables programs, we have seen reduced demand for our rental solutions. We also have seen a dampening of demand for outright sales, which we believe is caused by a general level of uncertainty regarding the U.S. Administration policies including those relating to trade, energy transition and renewables.

Currency Fluctuation/Foreign Exchange Risks

The Company has operations in the UK, USA, Denmark, Australia and India. The results of operations, our intercompany balances associated with our international operations, products and service offerings are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Due to these fluctuations, operating results may differ materially from expectations, and we may record significant gains or losses on the remeasurement of intercompany balances (such as assets and liabilities). We also hold cash equivalents in foreign currencies such as British Pounds, Euros and Danish Kroner. When the U.S. Dollar strengthens compared to these currencies, cash equivalents when translated, may be materially less than expected and vice versa. The impact of currency fluctuations is discussed more fully below under “Inflation and Foreign Currency”. See also Note 5 (Foreign Currency Translation) to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the section of this report which concerns “Inflation and Foreign Currency”.

Concentration of Business Opportunities Where the Sales Cycle is Long and Unpredictable

The Services Business revenues are highly concentrated and are generated from sub-contracts with Prime Defense Contractors. The sales cycle is generally protracted, and this may affect quarterly revenues. It is also dependent on the federal government appropriating budget for Defense projects and where the federal government is unable to find consensus in the US Congress or there is a change in spending priorities, this may affect the timely award of sub-contracts from Prime Defense Contractors to our Services Business, which is reliant on these awards. Furthermore, the Marine Technology Business key opportunities which are critical to its growth strategy are in the Defense Market for both its imaging sonars and the DAVD, both of which are key pillars of the Company’s growth strategy. Due to the protracted nature of the government procurement process and cycle for Defense spending under federal and/or state budgets, the sales cycle can be long and unpredictable, thus affecting timing of orders and thus quarterly revenues.

Impact on Revenues and Earnings

We are uncertain as to the extent of the impact the factors disclosed above and in our Form 10-K covering fiscal year ended October 31, 2024, are likely to have on our future financial results.

Impact on Liquidity, Balance Sheet and Assets

These factors may adversely impact on our availability of free cash flow, working capital and business prospects. As of January 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $22,541,963, and cash provided by our operations of $641,511. Based on our outstanding obligations and our cash and cash equivalents as well as our revolving line of credit with HSBC NA, we believe we have sufficient working capital to meet our anticipated cash needs for the next twelve months. However, any projections of future cash flows are subject to substantial uncertainty.

Critical Accounting Policies

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported values of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported levels of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Below is a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical to an understanding of our financial condition and operating results and that may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters which are inherently uncertain. A discussion of our significant accounting policies, including further discussion of the accounting policies described below, can be found in Note 2, “Summary of Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenues are earned under formal contracts with our customers.

Our Marine Technology Business revenues are derived from both sales and rental of underwater solutions for imaging, mapping, Defense and survey applications. PAL’s revenues are derived from sales of acoustic sensors and materials and for our Engineering Services Business from engineering services performed for third party customers who are primarily Defense Contractors. Our contracts do not include the possibility for additional contingent consideration so that our determination of the contract price does not involve having to consider potential additional variable consideration. Our product sales do not include a right of return by the customer.

Regarding our Marine Technology Business and PAL, all of our products are sold on a stand-alone basis, and those market prices are evidence of the value of the products. To the extent that we also provide services (e.g., installation, training, or calibration services etc.), those services are either included as part of the product or are subject to written contracts based on the stand-alone value of those services. Revenue from performing engineering services is recognized when those services have been provided to the customer and evidence of the provision of those services exists.

For further discussion of our revenue recognition accounting policies, refer to Note 2 – “Revenue Recognition” in these unaudited consolidated financial statements and Note 2 “Summary of Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024.

Business Combination

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of a business acquisition are recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Determining the fair value of identifiable assets, particularly intangibles acquired also requires management to make estimates, which are based on all available information and in some cases assumptions with respect to the timing and amount of future revenues and expenses associated with an asset.

Inventory Allowance

We value our inventory based on our cost. We adjust the value of our inventory to the extent our management determines that our cost cannot be recovered due to obsolescence or other factors. In order to make these determinations, our management uses estimates of future demand and sales prices for each product to determine appropriate inventory reserves and to make corresponding reductions in inventory values to reflect the lower of cost or market value. In the event of a higher incidence of inventory obsolescence, we could be required to increase our inventory reserve, which would increase our cost of sales and decrease our gross profit.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Our consolidated results of operations include the results of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Our foreign subsidiaries’ results are translated from their respective functional currencies into United States Dollar (USD) for reporting purposes. Currency fluctuations can therefore impact (positively or negatively) on our consolidated results including revenue, profitability and the value of our assets and liabilities included on the consolidated balance sheet. During the Current Quarter, the USD strengthened against the British Pound and the Danish Kroner, resulting in translated foreign revenues being $76,562 lower when using the Previous Quarter exchange rate (for a discussion of the effect of foreign exchange rates see Item 2 “Inflation and Foreign Currency”). Consolidated Revenue in the Current Quarter increased by 16.8% and was $5,209,715 compared to $4,461,191 in the Previous Quarter. During the Current Quarter total operating expenses increased by 9.3% and income from operations increased by 19.2%. Agents’ sales commission costs were 16.3% lower in the Current Quarter and were $245,509 compared to $293,184 in the Previous Quarter due to the reduction in sales from Asia (see Notes 15 and 16 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on Segment reporting and Disaggregation of Revenue by segment and geography). Pre-tax income in the Current Quarter was $934,860 compared to $782,944 in the Previous Quarter, representing an increase of 19.4%. A more detailed analysis of our results of operations is set out below.

PAL was acquired on October 29, 2024 and therefore for the purpose of this MD&A discussion, no prior year comparison financial data is presented.

Segment Summary

Products Business (Core Business)

We sell our products internationally. In the Current Quarter, the Products Business generated $2,275,809 or 43.7% of our consolidated revenues compared to $3,542,766 or 79.4% in the Previous Quarter, representing a decrease of 35.8%. The decrease in sales in the Current Quarter is a result of weak worldwide demand. We believe that this may be attributable to broader macroeconomic factors resulting from the uncertainties relating to the new U.S. Administration policies such as energy transition, renewables, Defense policy and trade tariffs. Some of our customers are delaying decisions pending more clarity on these policies (such as whether there will be a reversal of the offshore renewable programs that had been established by the prior Administration). Gross profit margin increased from 72.5% in the Previous Quarter to 73.1% in the Current Quarter, which is a reflection of reduced commission costs and hardware sales. In the Current Quarter we recorded for this segment sales commissions of $209,695 compared to $293,184 in the Previous Quarter, representing a decrease of 28.5% and which reflects the decrease in sales from Asia. In the Current Quarter total operating expenses decreased by 25.1% in the Products Business and were $971,676 compared to $1,296,766 in the Previous Quarter, largely due to exchange rate variance as a result of the USD strengthening against British Pound and Danish Kroner. Net income before tax was $853,124 in the Current Quarter compared to $1,428,157 in the Previous Quarter, reflecting the decrease in revenue.

Acoustic Sensors and Materials Business (PAL)

In the Current Quarter, PAL generated $1,312,261 or 25.2% of our consolidated revenue. Gross profit margin was 61.7%; commission costs incurred on sales generated in the Current Quarter were $23,049; total operating expenses were $329,218. Net Income before tax was $556,049.

Services Business

In the Current Quarter, the Services Business generated $1,621,645 or 31.1% of our consolidated revenues compared to 918,425 or 20.6% in the Previous Quarter, representing an increase in sales of 76.6%. Gross profit margin increased from 56.4% in the Previous Quarter to 58.9% in the Current Quarter, reflecting the mix of engineering projects. In the Current Quarter total operating expenses increased by 9.5% in the Services Business and were $684,246 compared to $625,086 in the Previous Quarter. Net income before tax in the Current Quarter was $297,795 compared to a net loss of $35,713 in the Previous Quarter.

Results of Operations for the Current Quarter compared to the Previous Quarter

Revenue: Total consolidated revenues for the Current Quarter increased by 16.8% when compared to the Previous Quarter and were $5,209,715 and $4,461,191 respectively. The increase in revenue is due to the introduction of PAL into the Group which contributed 25.2% to our consolidated revenue, along with an increase in our Services Business revenue (and which contributed 31.1% of our consolidated revenue). Without the introduction of PAL into our revenue mix, our revenue in the Current Quarter would be $3,897,454 compared to $4,461,191 in the Previous Quarter, representing a decrease of 12.6%. In the Current Quarter our Core Business revenue (Marine Technology Business) decreased by 35.8% caused by weak worldwide demand which we believe is attributable to broader macroeconomic factors resulting from uncertainties relating to the new U.S. Administration policies such as its energy transition, renewables and Defense and trade tariffs policies. The uncertain climate has negatively affected our Core Business and in the Current Quarter we saw reduced offshore construction activities resulting in weaker demand for our rental and outright sales solutions. In respect of sales from the U.S. market, we continue to be affected by delays in receiving orders under Defense Programs, due to the new Administration still reviewing its spending priorities, and reorganizing its federal operations, and this has also affected our revenue in the Current Quarter.

Gross Profit Margins: Margin percentage was weaker in the Current Quarter at 65.8% (gross profit of $3,428,470) compared to 69.2% (gross profit of $3,086,736) in the Previous Quarter, largely caused by our Core Business contributing a lesser percentage to our consolidated revenue and the other business units contributing a higher percentage.

Gross profit margins reported in our financial results may vary according to several factors. These include:

	●	The percentage of consolidated sales attributed to the Marine Technology Business versus the Services Business and PAL. The gross profit margin yielded by the Marine Technology Business is generally higher than that of the Services Business and PAL.

	●	The percentage of consolidated sales attributed to the Services Business. The Services Business yields a lower gross profit margin on generated sales which are largely based on time and materials for our Department of Defense contracts (DoD subcontracts).

	●	The percentage of consolidated sales attributed to PAL. PAL supplies acoustic sensors and materials and its gross margin for these are typically between 55 – 62%. This may vary with the mix of products and also the percentage of reported sales that are performed through sales agents during the reporting period.

	●	The mix of sales within the Marine Technology Business during the reporting period:

	●	Outright sales versus rentals.
	●	Hardware related sales versus Software related sales (Software is generally a higher margin).
	●	Custom engineering around its technology (“services”) versus field services (where our technical support engineers are deployed to the field to provide support to our customers in their use of our technology).

	●	Level of commission on products which may vary according to volume. All our business units work with sales/distribution agents. Most of the Marine Technology Business and PAL’s sales in Asia are completed via agents or distributors. See Note 3 “Cost of Goods Sold” for more discussion on this.

	●	Level of Rental Assets in the Marine Technology Business’ Rental Pool and therefore the depreciation expenses may vary accordingly.

	●	The mix of engineering projects performed by our Services Business (Prototyping Designs versus manufacturing), may also affect gross profit margins.

In the Current Quarter, gross profit margins for the Marine Technology Business were 73.1% compared to 72.5% in the Previous Quarter and for the Services Business these were 58.9% in the Current Quarter compared to 56.4% in the Previous Quarter and for PAL it was 61.7%. Our consolidated commission costs in the Current Quarter decreased by 16.3% and were $245,509 compared to $293,184 in the Previous Quarter. This is largely due to less outright sales in the strategic region of Asia by our Martine Technology Business, where sales decreased by 11.5% and were $1,591,811 in the Current Quarter compared to $1,799,540 in the Previous Quarter.

Our Marine Technology Business margins increased in the Current Quarter due to less units of outright sales in Asia and therefore reducing the level of commission costs associated with sales in this region. Commission costs incurred by this business unit were $209,695 compared to $293,184 in the Previous Quarter, representing a decrease of 28.5%. Since there are more variable factors affecting gross profit margins in the Marine Technology Business (Products Business), a table showing a summary of break-out of sales generated by this business in the Current Quarter compared to the Previous Quarter is set out below:

	January 31, 2025		January 31, 2024		Percentage
Description	Products		Products		Change
Equipment Sales	$	1,734,741	$	2,376,272		(27.0	)%
Equipment Rental		224,443		380,809		(41.1	)%
Software Sales		120,795		225,529		(46.4	)%
Services		195,830		560,156		(65.0	)%

Total Net Sales	$	2,275,809	$	3,542,766		(35.8	)%

Further information on the performance of each business segment, including revenues by type and geography, can be found in Notes 15 and Note 16 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the Current and Previous Quarters.

Research and Development (R&D): R&D expenditures in the Current Quarter increased by 11.8% and were $543,126 compared to $485,977 in the Previous Quarter.

●

Products Business

During the Current Quarter our Products Business R&D expenditure decreased by 12.0% and was $405,812 as compared to $461,375 in the Previous Quarter. R&D expenditure is incurred by this business in connection with investments it makes in developing its products and solutions and a significant component of these expenditures comprises wages and salaries. This expenditure is an essential part of our business, as we need to continue to innovate our solutions on an ongoing basis. In the Current Quarter, R&D expenditure decreased due to a reduction in headcount during the period.

●

Acoustics and Materials Business (PAL)

This is a newly acquired business unit and therefore there is no financial comparison data for the Previous Quarter. During the Current Quarter PAL incurred R&D expenditure of $90,964. R&D expenditure is incurred by this business in connection with investments it makes in developing its acoustic sensors, solutions and materials. A significant component of these expenditures comprises wages and salaries and we anticipate that R&D costs associated with this business unit will be approximately $450,000 on an annualized basis.

●

Services Business

During the Current Quarter the Services Business R&D expenditure increased by 88.4% and was $46,350 compared to $24,602 in the Previous Quarter. The Services Business incurs research and development expenses mainly on advancing its Thermite^® Octal range of mission computer products with the strategic goals of increasing and diversifying its revenues and improving gross profit margins.

Segment	January 31, 2025		January 31, 2024		Percentage Change

Marine Technology R&D Expenditures	$	405,812	$	461,375		(12.0	)%
PAL R&D Expenditure	$	90,964	$	-		100	%
Marine Engineering R&D Expenditures	$	46,350	$	24,602		88.4	%

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A): SG&A expenses for the Current Quarter increased by 8.7% to $2,223,322 from $2,045,375 in the Previous Quarter. The inclusion of PAL into the Group has resulted in SG&A in the Current Quarter being 12.0% or $238,254 higher. Without the addition of PAL, our SG&A would have decreased by 2.9% ($1,985,068 in the Current Quarter compared to $2,045,375 in the Previous Quarter).

SG&A includes both cash charges and non-cash charges. The non-cash charges comprise Depreciation, Amortization, Stock-based compensation and Exchange Rate Variance charges. In the Current Quarter non-cash items as a percentage of SG&A expenses were 2.6% compared to 15.5% in the Previous Quarter. This is caused by the strengthening of the USD against the British Pound and Danish Kroner resulting in exchange rate variance adjustment loss of ($318,279) in the Current Quarter compared to adjustment benefit of $118,261 in the Previous Quarter. Due to the acquisition of PAL, Amortization costs increased significantly and were $127,759 compared to $17,246 in the Previous Quarter.

Key Areas of SG&A Expenditure across the Company for the Current Quarter compared to the Previous Quarter are:

Expenditure	January 31, 2025		January 31, 2024		Percentage Change
Wages and Salaries	$	1,011,951	$	906,799		11.6	%
Legal and Professional Fees (including accounting, audit, tax and investor relations)	$	557,054	$	418,104		33.2	%
Rent and operating lease	$	33,872	$	9,064		273.7	%
Marketing (Excluding associated travel)	$	126,735	$	61,894		104.8	%
Travel associated with marketing activities	$	31,201	$	14,442		116.0	%

Wages and Salaries – this category of expenses increased primarily due to the inclusion of PAL into the Group. Wages & Salaries related to PAL in the Current Quarter are $112,904. Without PAL, this category of expenses would have been more in line with the Previous Quarter ($906,799 compared to $899,047 in the Current Quarter) reflecting a reduction in payroll expenses. On an annual basis, we anticipate that this area of expenditure will increase significantly as we are operating on reduced headcount and payroll costs is an area of which is exposed to significant inflationary pressures.

Legal and Professional fees increased reflecting an increase in audit fees associated with the acquisition of PAL.

Rent and operating lease expenses – We own most of our business premises. This category of expenditure is not material for our business and relates to our Copenhagen office space and the new lease which we assumed as part of the acquisition of PAL. The increase in lease costs in the Current Quarter is attributable to PAL. We anticipate that lease costs will remain at approximately this level in fiscal year 2025.

Marketing and associated travel costs: We incur marketing expenses in connection with the promotion of our goods and services. These expenses include participation in industry trade shows, marketing events such as demonstrations of our technology and travel for marketing activities. These costs also include fees associated with the retention of a US Focus Group, which has been retained to assist with our marketing strategy and efforts.

Overhead related costs as a percentage of revenue for Current Quarter, compared to the Previous Quarter

General corporate administrative expenses in the Current Quarter were $781,308 or 15.0% of revenue and $609,500 or 13.7% of revenue in the Previous Quarter, respectively. For more information on general corporate administrative expenses, please see Note 15 (Segment Analysis).

Operating Income: In the Current Quarter operating income increased by 19.2% and was $662,022 as compared to $555,384 in the Previous Quarter. The increase in operating income is largely due to the inclusion of PAL into the Group, which contributed $480,926 (or 33.3% without our corporate overheads costs) to our consolidated operating income in the Current Quarter. Without the inclusion of PAL, our operating income would have decreased by 67.4% and would have been $181,096 due to the reduction in the revenue generated by our Core Business in the Current Quarter.

Other Income: In the Current Quarter, we had “Other Income” of $272,838 compared to $227,560, representing an increase of 19.9% from the Previous Quarter. A significant component of other income is interest earned on our certified deposits of $194,171. In February 2023, the Company established certified deposit accounts with its existing bankers. These accounts are for fixed 3-month rolling periods and constitute “cash equivalents” in our current unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended January 31, 2025 (see Note 7 (Composition of Certain Financial Statement Captions for more detailed analysis of this). We anticipate that the interest earned on these certified deposit accounts will be material in the future if interest rates remain the same or continue to rise.

Net Income before income taxes: In the Current Quarter, we had pre-tax income of $934,860 compared to $782,944 in the Previous Quarter, representing an increase of 19.4%. Pre-tax income increased due to an increase in our consolidated revenue which is largely attributed to the addition of PAL to our Group. Without the inclusion of PAL, our pre-tax income would have been $378,811, representing a decrease of 51.6% caused largely by the reduction in our Core Business revenue for the reasons discussed earlier.

Net Income: In the Current Quarter we had Net Income of $912,975 compared to $629,888 in the Previous Quarter, representing an increase of 44.9%. In the Previous Quarter we recorded Current Tax Benefit of $34,015 compared to a Current Tax Expense of $48,874 in the Current Quarter reflecting provision for income tax. We also recorded a Deferred Tax Expense of $187,071 in the Previous Quarter compared to a Deferred Tax Benefit of $26,989 in the Current Quarter, which relates to the granting of stock awards. Our effective tax rate is subject to significant variation due to several factors including variability in our pre-tax income and/or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which such income or losses relate, the applicability of special tax regimes, changes in tax regulations, changes in our stock price, changes in our deferred tax assets and liabilities, their valuation, foreign currency gains (losses). The mix of jurisdictions and related income or losses also affects our tax liability for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI). In the Current Quarter, the U.S. subsidiaries generated 27.3% of our consolidated revenue and did not generate any taxable income. The Company’s UK subsidiaries have carryforward losses and R&D Tax credits which are applied to defray income tax liability and therefore no provision has been made for tax liability for the UK subsidiaries in our consolidated results for the Current Quarter. We have made a provision for our Danish subsidiary of 22.0% for the Current Quarter.

Comprehensive Income. In the Current Quarter comprehensive loss was $115,611 compared to comprehensive income $1,659,468 for the Previous Quarter reflecting adjustments resulting from foreign currency translations. This category is affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange transactions both relating to our profit and loss expenses and the valuation of our assets and liabilities on our balance sheet. In the Current Quarter, the USD strengthened against the British Pound, Danish Kroner and Euro and we had a loss of $1,028,586 on foreign currency translation adjustment transactions compared to a gain of $1,029,580 in the Previous Quarter. A significant part of the Company’s operations is based in the UK and Denmark, and therefore a major part of our assets and liabilities recorded in our consolidated balance sheet and financial transactions are translated from the functional currencies of these subsidiaries into USD for reporting purposes. See the section below which concerns “Inflation & Foreign Currency” which shows the impact of the currency adjustments on our Income Statement and Balance Sheet in the Current Quarter compared to the Previous Quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of January 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $6,493,516, working capital of $39,382,917, cash of $22,541,963 and stockholders’ equity of $53,113,057. In the Current Quarter, the company generated cash from operations of $641,511.

The Company entered into a $4,000,000 revolving line of credit with HSBC NA on November 27, 2019, at prime. The outstanding balance on the line of credit was $0 as of January 31, 2025. This revolving credit line will expire on November 26, 2025, unless renewed.

We believe our cash flow generated from operations and our cash and cash equivalents as well as our revolving line of credit will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for the next twelve months. However, any projections of future cash flows are subject to substantial uncertainty.

Inflation and Foreign Currency

The Company and its subsidiaries maintain their accounts in the native currencies of their operations, and which are:

US Dollars	For US Operations
British Pound	For United Kingdom Operations
Danish Kroner	For Danish Operations
Australian Dollars	For Australian Operations (operations are currently dormant)
Indian Rupees	For Indian Operations (operations are currently dormant)

The Company’s consolidated financial results therefore include the translation of its subsidiaries functional currencies into U.S Dollar. See “Note 5 - Foreign Currency Translation” of our unaudited consolidated financial statements, for more information on the applicable rates used for our Balance Sheet transactions and Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income.

The Company’s consolidated results are a combination of its US and foreign operations and these companies maintain their accounts in the functional currencies of their jurisdictions which are noted above. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates can directly impact on the Company’s sales, profitability and financial position when the transactions of the foreign subsidiaries are translated from their functional currencies into USD for financial reporting. In addition, the Company is also subject to currency fluctuation risk with respect to certain foreign currency denominated receivables and payables incurred in the ordinary course of its business operations (cross-border transactions such as inventory purchasing). In general, the Company’s subsidiaries perform financial transactions in their native currencies. Occasionally, a subsidiary may perform financial transactions in currencies other than its native or functional currency (purchasing inventory from a foreign supplier, for example, in foreign currency). Furthermore, the Company holds significant cash balances in foreign currencies, such as British Pound, Euro and Danish Kroner. The Company cannot predict the extent to which currency fluctuations may affect its business and financial position, and there is a risk that such fluctuations may have an adverse impact on the Company’s sales, profits, cash and cash equivalent balances and its overall financial position.

Information regarding the effect of foreign exchange rates versus the U.S Dollar on our net sales, operating expenses, and operating income and balance sheet items is provided to show reported period operating results had the foreign exchange rates remained the same as those in effect in the Previous Quarter. The effect on our net sales, operating expenses and operating income along with our balance sheet items from changes in our foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. Dollar is as follows:

Information is not specified for INR as there is a limited scope of operations in this jurisdiction and therefore contributions are immaterial. However, the information for INR is included in the totals.

This table shows that the effect of exchange rates changes (the Current Quarter’s exchange rate compared to the Previous Quarter’s exchange rate) decreased our net income from operations by $43,725 and net assets by $930,553, in the Current Quarter.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
