NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Coda Octopus Group, Inc. (“Coda,” “the Company,” or “we”) operates two distinct operating business units. These are the Marine Technology Business (“Products Business”, “Products Operations” or “Products Segment”) and the Marine Engineering Business (“Services Business”, “Engineering Business”; or “Services Segment”). The Marine Technology Business sells technology solutions to the subsea and underwater markets. These solutions are designed, developed, manufactured and supported by the Company. Among the solutions which it offers to the market and currently its main revenue generating product, is its real time 3D volumetric imaging sonar which is a patented and leading product in the subsea/underwater market. This product is marketed under the name Echoscope^® and Echoscope PIPE^®, PIPE being an acronym for Parallel Intelligent Processing Engine. We also recently launched a new diver management system (Diver Augmented Vision Display (DAVD)) for use in the global defense and commercial diving markets and which we believe is a significant part of our growth pillars. The requirements for the DAVD system emanated from the Office of Naval Research. DAVD uses a pair of transparent glasses in the diver’s head up display (HUD) on which real time data is rendered. The concept of using a pair of transparent glasses in the Head up Display (HUD) underwater is patented and licensed to the Company by the United States Department of the Navy at Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division. The Marine Engineering Business is a sub-contractor to prime defense contractors and generally supplies proprietary sub-assemblies for incorporation into broader mission critical defense systems. These parts typically are supplied for the life of the program. The Marine Engineering Business scope typically includes concept, design, prototype and manufacture.

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