NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1— BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Acorn Energy, Inc. (“Acorn”) and its subsidiaries, OmniMetrix, LLC (“OmniMetrix”) and OMX Holdings, Inc. (collectively, with Acorn and OmniMetrix, “the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. The December 31, 2023 consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.

All dollar amounts, except per share data, are rounded to the nearest thousand and, thus, are approximate.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2024.

Reverse Stock Split

On September 5, 2023, the Board of Directors of Acorn approved a Certificate of Amendment to Acorn’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) that provided for a 1-for-16 reverse stock split of Acorn’s Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Acorn filed the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on September 6, 2023, and the Reverse Stock Split became effective at 5:00 p.m. EDT on September 7, 2023. At the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, every sixteen issued and outstanding shares of Acorn’s Common Stock were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. Stockholders who would have otherwise been entitled to fractional shares of Common Stock, as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, received a cash payment in lieu of receiving fractional shares. The value of the fractional shares repurchased was $347 and equated to fifty-eight shares. All share and per share amounts of common stock, options and warrants contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes have been restated for all periods to give retroactive effect to the Reverse Stock Split and the related fractional share repurchase for all prior periods presented. Accordingly, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Deficit reflects the impact of the Reverse Stock Split by reclassifying from “Common Stock” to “Additional paid-in capital” an amount equal to the aggregate par value of the number of shares by which the total number of shares outstanding decreased as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

NOTE 2—ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

7

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company’s cash was deposited with a U.S. bank and amounted to $1,463,000 at June 30, 2024. The Company does not believe there is a significant risk of non-performance by its counterparties. For the six- and three-month periods, one customer represented 10% and 12% of the Company’s total invoiced sales, respectively. At June 30, 2024, the Company did not have any customers that represented 10% or greater of our total accounts receivable. Approximately 25% of the accounts receivable at December 31, 2023 was due from one customer which was subsequently collected in full. Credit risk with respect to the balance of trade receivables is generally diversified due to the number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base. Although we do not believe there is significant risk of non-performance by these counterparties, any failures or defaults on their part could negatively impact the value of our financial instruments and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations or financial condition.

Inventory

Inventories are comprised of components (raw materials), work-in-process and finished goods, which are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

Raw materials inventory is generally comprised of radios, cables, antennas, and electrical components. Finished goods inventory consists of fully assembled systems ready for final shipment to the customer. Costs are determined at cost of acquisition on a weighted average basis and include all outside production and applicable shipping costs.

All inventories are periodically reviewed to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventory. Management conducts an assessment at each reporting period of the Company’s inventory reserve and writes off any inventory items that are deemed obsolete.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policy is consistent with applicable revenue recognition guidance and interpretations. The core principle of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, is to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle, which includes: (1) identifying contracts with customers, (2) identifying performance obligations within those contracts, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract, which may include an estimate of variable consideration, and (5) recognizing revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company assesses whether payment terms are customary or extended in accordance with normal practice relative to the market in which the sale is occurring. The Company’s sales arrangements generally include standard payment terms. These terms effectively relate to all customers, products, and arrangements regardless of customer type, product mix or arrangement size. See Note 10, Revenue, for further discussion.

Revenue from sales of the hardware products that are distinct products are recorded when shipped while the revenue from sales of the hardware products (product versions sold prior to September 1, 2023) that were not separable from the Company’s monitoring services was deferred and amortized over the estimated unit life. Revenue from the prepayment of monitoring fees (generally paid twelve months in advance) is recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt of payment from the customer and then amortized to revenue over the monitoring service period. See Notes 9 and 10 for the disaggregation of the Company’s revenue for the periods presented.

Any sales tax, value added tax, and other tax the Company collects concurrent with revenue producing activities are excluded from revenue.

8

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax and income taxes imposed in the state and local jurisdictions where it operates its businesses. Deferred income taxes are determined using the 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will be realized. The income tax expense in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 represents the estimated state tax of various states on the 2023 income of OmniMetrix.

Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing the net income attributable to Acorn Energy, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, excluding treasury stock. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive potential of common shares which would result from the exercise of stock options and warrants. The dilutive effects of stock options and warrants are excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share if doing so would be antidilutive.

The combined weighted average number of options (as adjusted to account for the September 2023 1-for-16 reverse stock split) that were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share, as they had an antidilutive effect, was 26,000 (with a weighted average exercise price of $8.13) and 15,000 (with a weighted average exercise price of $9.17) for the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The combined weighted average number of options excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share was 50,000 (with a weighted average exercise price of $7.20) and 58,000 (with a weighted average exercise price of $6.89) for the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

The following table represents the amounts used in computing earnings per share and the effect on net income and the weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common stock (as adjusted to account for the September 2023 1-for-16 reverse stock split) and is in thousands, except per share data:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2023-07 will have on its segment reporting disclosures.

9

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as information related to income taxes paid to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This ASU will be effective for the annual period ending December 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and impacts of adoption of this ASU.

NOTE 3—LIQUIDITY

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $1,463,000 of consolidated cash.

At June 30, 2024, the Company had a negative working capital of $423,000. Its working capital includes $1,463,000 of cash and deferred revenue of $3,590,000. Such deferred revenue does not require a significant cash outlay for the revenue to be recognized. Total deferred revenue decreased by $1,004,000, from $5,584,000 at December 31, 2023 to $4,580,000 at June 30, 2024, as a result of the sales mix of products sold. Based on the current products being sold, the Company expects continued decreases in the deferred revenue balance in the foreseeable future. The balance of deferred hardware revenue at June 30, 2024 will continue to be amortized over the months remaining in the three-year period since the hardware’s original date of shipment. Net cash increased during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 by $14,000, with $41,000 provided by operating activities, $40,000 used in investing activities, and $13,000 provided by financing activities.

As of August 6, 2024, the Company had cash of $1,546,000. The Company believes that such cash, plus the cash expected to be generated from operations, will provide sufficient liquidity to finance the corporate activities of Acorn and operating activities of OmniMetrix at their current level of operations for at least the twelve-month period from the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company may, at some point, elect to obtain financing to fund additional investments in the business. If the Company decides to pursue additional financing in the future, it may be in the form of a bank line, a new loan or investment by others, an equity raise by Acorn which could then facilitate a loan by Acorn to OmniMetrix, or any combination thereof. Whether alternative funds, such as third-party loans or investments, will be available at the time and on terms acceptable to Acorn and OmniMetrix cannot be determined at this time.

NOTE 4—ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

For the Company, ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” applies to its contract assets (deferred COGS and deferred sales commissions), lease receivables (sublease, see Note 6) and trade receivables. There are no expected or estimated credit losses on the Company’s contract assets or its lease receivable based on the Company’s implementation of ASU 2016-13.

The Company’s trade receivables primarily arise from the sale of our products to independent residential dealers, industrial distributors and dealers, national and regional retailers, equipment distributors, solar installers, and certain end users with payment terms generally ranging from 30 to 60 days. The Company evaluates the credit risk of a customer when extending credit based on a combination of various financial and qualitative factors that may affect the customers’ ability to pay. These factors include the customers’ financial condition and past payment experience.

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses, which represents an estimate of expected losses over the remaining contractual life of its receivables considering current market conditions and estimates for supportable forecasts when appropriate. The Company measures expected credit losses on its trade receivables on an entity-by-entity basis. The estimate of expected credit losses considers a historical loss experience rate that is adjusted for delinquency trends, collection experience, and/or economic risk where appropriate. Additionally, management develops a specific allowance for trade receivables known to have a high risk of expected future credit loss.

The Company has historically experienced immaterial write-offs given the nature of the customers that receive credit. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had gross receivables of $545,000 and an allowance for credit losses of $5,000.

NOTE 6—LEASES

OmniMetrix leases office space and office equipment under operating lease agreements. The office lease has an expiration date of September 30, 2025. The office equipment lease was entered into in April 2019 and had a sixty-month term. This lease is currently month-to-month until the Company negotiates a new term. Operating lease payments for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $64,000 and $63,000, respectively. Operating lease payments for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $32,000 and $32,000, respectively. The present value of future minimum lease payments on non-cancelable operating leases as of June 30, 2024 using a discount rate of 4.5% is $160,000. The 4.5% discount rate used was the estimated incremental borrowing rate when the lease was entered into, which, as defined in ASC 842: Leases, is the rate of interest that a lessee would have had to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term and in a similar economic environment, an amount equal to the lease payments.

On July 6, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with King Industrial Realty, Inc., to sublease from the Company 1,900 square feet of office space of the Company’s 21,000 square feet of office and production space in the Hamilton Mill Business Park located in Buford, Georgia, for a monthly sublease payment of $2,375 (plus an annual escalator each year of 3%) which includes the base rent plus a pro-rata share of utilities, property taxes and insurance. Fifty percent of any excess rent received above the per square foot amount that the Company pays will be remitted to the Company’s landlord less the allocation of any shared expenses and leasehold improvements specific to the sublease. During each of the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, after the offset of the investment in leasehold improvements and other expenses related to the sublease, the Company paid its landlord $7,000 and $3,000, respectively. The Company has paid a total of $16,000 for its share of the sublease profit since the lease commencement. The sublease commenced on October 1, 2021 and will run through September 30, 2025 which is the end of the Company’s lease term with its landlord. Below are the future payments (in thousands) expected under the sublease net of the estimated annual service cost of $2,220 (gross of the estimated amount expected to be remitted to our landlord):

NOTE 7—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has $160,000 in operating lease obligations payable through 2026 and $565,000 in other contractual obligations. The contractual services include $242,000 payable through June 30, 2025, $208,000 payable through June 30, 2026, and $105,000 payable through June 30, 2027. The Company also has $468,000 in open purchase order commitments payable through June 30, 2025.

NOTE 8— STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

(a) General

At June 30, 2024, Acorn had 2,537,485 shares issued and 2,487,307 shares outstanding of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share. Holders of outstanding common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by the Board and to share ratably in the assets of the Company legally available for distribution in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

The Company is not authorized to issue preferred stock. Accordingly, no preferred stock is issued or outstanding.

12

(b) Summary Employee Option Information

The Company’s stock option plans provide for the grant to officers, directors and employees of options to purchase shares of common stock. The purchase price may be paid in cash or, if the option is “in-the-money” at the end of the option term, it is automatically exercised “net”. In a net exercise of an option, the Company does not require a payment of the exercise price of the option from the optionee but reduces the number of shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of the option by the smallest number of whole shares that has an aggregate fair market value equal to or in excess of the aggregate exercise price for the option shares covered by the option exercised. Each option is exercisable for one share of the Company’s common stock. Most options expire within five to ten years from the date of the grant, and generally vest over a three-year period from the date of the grant.

At June 30, 2024, 68,869 options were available for grant under the Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan and no options were available for grant under the 2006 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, 7,900 options were issued of which all were issued in the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. No options were issued in the three-month period ended June 30, 2024. The options were issued as follows: an aggregate of 2,500 to directors (excluding the CEO), 2,200 to the CEO, 2,200 to the CFO and an aggregate of 1,000 to employees. In the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2024, there were no grants to non-employees (other than the directors, CEO and CFO).

During the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2024, 2,812 options were exercised of which all were exercised in the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. No options were exercised in the three-month period ended June 30, 2024. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate fair value, utilizing the following assumptions for the respective years (all in weighted averages):

	Number of Options (in shares)			Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2023		71,893		$	6.41		3.8 years	$	40,000
Granted		7,900			6.08
Exercised		(2,812	)		5.12
Forfeited or expired		—			—
Outstanding at June 30, 2024		76,981		$	6.42		3.7 years	$	258,000
Exercisable at June 30, 2024		68,038		$	6.45		3.4 years	$	227,000

The fair value of the options granted of $47,000 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Risk-free interest rate	3.9	%
Expected term of options	4.9 years
Expected annual volatility	194.1	%
Expected dividend yield	—	%

(c) Stock Option Compensation Expense

Stock option compensation expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations was $38,000 and $30,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $11,000 and $13,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized was $31,000 as of June 30, 2024 which will be recognized over the next thirty-one months.

NOTE 9— SEGMENT REPORTING

As of June 30, 2024, the Company operates in two reportable operating segments, both of which are performed through the Company’s OmniMetrix subsidiary:

● Power Generation (“PG”). OmniMetrix’s PG services provide wireless remote monitoring and control systems and IoT applications for residential and commercial/industrial power generation equipment. This includes OmniMetrix’s AIRGuard product, which remotely monitors and controls industrial air compressors, and its Smart Annunciator product, which is typically sold to commercial customers that require a visual representation of the generator’s status and has a touchscreen display that indicates the current state of that generator.

● Cathodic Protection (“CP”). OmniMetrix’s CP services provide remote monitoring and control products for cathodic protection systems on gas pipelines serving the gas utilities market and pipeline operators. The CP product lineup includes solutions to remotely monitor and control rectifiers, test stations and bonds. OmniMetrix also offers the industry’s first RAD^TM (Remote AC Mitigation Disconnect) that mounts onto existing Solid-state Decouplers in the field and can remotely disconnect/connect these AC mitigation tools, which can drastically reduce a company’s expense while increasing employee safety.

The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units, offering different products and services, and are managed separately as each business requires different technology and marketing strategies.

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

This Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” relating to the Company which represent the Company’s current expectations or beliefs including, but not limited to, statements concerning the Company’s operations, performance, financial condition and growth. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “could”, “estimate” or “continue” or the negative or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, such as credit losses, dependence on management and key personnel, variability of quarterly results, the ability of the Company to continue its growth strategy and the Company’s competition, certain of which are beyond the Company’s control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, or any of the other risks set out under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 occur, actual outcomes and results could differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

All dollar amounts in the discussion below are rounded to the nearest thousand, except per share data, and, thus, are approximate.

BACKLOG

As of June 30, 2024, OmniMetrix had a backlog of $4,580,000, primarily comprised of deferred revenue, of which $3,590,000 is expected to be recognized as revenue in the next twelve months. This compares to a backlog of $6,367,000 at June 30, 2023. Now that we are selling hardware units that are capable of operating distinctly from our monitoring and control software, the hardware backlog will no longer continue to grow and will be fully amortized by August 31, 2026, while the monitoring backlog will continue to be deferred and amortized over the period of service.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On June 1, 2024, we entered into a contract with one of the nation’s largest cell phone providers to provide monitoring hardware and services. Under the contract, OmniMetrix will provide monitoring devices and related remote monitoring and control services for between 5,000 to 10,000 cell tower backup generators in the U.S. The monitoring hardware and monitoring services, which will be deployed over a two-year period, are expected to begin generating revenue in the third quarter, and are expected to generate total revenue over the life of the contract of approximately $5 million.

On January 12, 2024, we entered into a new contract with our current primary data provider for Internet of Things (IoT) wireless services for a 36-month contract term with automatic one-year extensions, subject to termination notice. The pricing structure involves account setup, SIM charges, monthly revenue obligations, and various rate plans based on data usage and regions along with other optional services. The monthly expense obligation is $10,000 for the first 6 months and $15,000 thereafter. We are also eligible for volume discounts based on total monthly service revenue. Additionally, the agreement includes an IoT Enhanced Support and Priority Care Services Rate Plan with various support service types and pricing tiers based on the number of devices and terms for SIM migrations, including tiered pricing and conditions for waiver of certain charges during migration. This agreement allows us to migrate our customers to higher tier data plans for nominal additional cost.

Each of our PG and CP activities represents a reportable segment. The following analysis should be read together with the segment and revenue information provided in Notes 9 and 10 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report.

OmniMetrix

OmniMetrix is a Georgia limited liability company based in Buford, Georgia that develops and markets wireless remote monitoring and control systems and services for multiple markets in the Internet of Things (“IoT”) ecosystem: critical assets (including stand-by power generators, pumps, pumpjacks, light towers, turbines, compressors, and other industrial equipment) as well as cathodic protection for the pipeline industry (gas utilities and pipeline companies). Acorn owns 99% of OmniMetrix with 1% owned by the former CEO of OmniMetrix.

Following the emergence of machine-to-machine (M2M) and IoT applications, whereby companies aggregate multiple sensors and monitors into a simplified dashboard for customers, OmniMetrix believes it plays a key role in this new economic ecosystem. In addition, OmniMetrix sees a rapidly growing need for backup power infrastructure to secure critical military, government, and private sector assets against emergency events including terrorist attacks, natural disasters, cybersecurity threats, and other issues related to the reliability of the electric power grid. As residential and industrial standby generators, turbines, compressors, pumps, pumpjacks, light towers and other industrial equipment are part of the critical infrastructure increasingly becoming monitored in IoT applications and given that OmniMetrix monitors all major brands of critical equipment, OmniMetrix believes it is well-positioned as a competitive participant in this market.

OmniMetrix sells monitoring hardware devices and data monitoring services. On September 1, 2023, we launched an updated version of our products that includes new functionality in our TrueGuard, AIRGuard, Patriot and Hero products that allows our customers to have options as it relates to obtaining and utilizing the data that is provided by our hardware devices. This new functionality allows for SIM card options, configuration options regarding IP address endpoints and DNS routes, and access to our over-the-air data protocol. This product update allows customers to have the option to purchase our monitoring service, monitor the products themselves if they have the ability in-house, or choose another monitoring provider if they so desire, whereas, historically, our standard products only functioned with our monitoring services. The modification to the circuit boards and embedded firmware of hardware enclosures in stock as of August 31, 2023 were made such that only the new version of these products was sold subsequent to this date. Prior to such product modification, revenue (and related costs) associated with sale of equipment was recorded to deferred revenue (and deferred charges) upon shipment for PG and CP monitoring units. This deferred revenue and the deferred cost of the hardware with respect to the sale of new equipment was recognized over the life of the units, which was estimated to be three years. Revenue from hardware sales subsequent to August 31, 2023 is recognized upon shipment, instead of being deferred. Revenues from the prepayment of monitoring fees (generally paid in advance) are initially recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt of payment from the customer and then amortized to revenue over the monitoring service period (typically twelve-month, renewable periods).

Revenue for the six and three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

Revenue increased by $685,000, or 18.4%, from $3,722,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 to $4,407,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. Hardware revenue increased by $562,000 from $1,633,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 to $2,195,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, we recorded $92,000 in revenue from the sale of custom TG Pro units that are designed to large customer specifications and monitored by the customer and thus the revenue was not deferred. We did not have any custom unit orders in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. See the reconciliation of hardware revenue below. Monitoring revenue increased by $123,000, or 5.9%, from $2,089,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 to $2,212,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. The increase in monitoring revenue was due to an increase in the number of connections being monitored.

As discussed above, OmniMetrix has two reportable segments, PG and CP. Of the $4,407,000 in revenue recognized in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, $3,855,000 was generated by PG activities and $552,000 was generated by CP activities. This represents an increase in revenue from PG activities of $659,000, or 20.6%, from $3,196,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, and an increase in revenue from CP activities of $26,000, or 4.9%, from $526,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.

The increase in PG revenue was due to an increase in the revenue recognized from TG Pro and TG2 products. The increase in CP revenue was due to an increase in the revenue recognized from Hero2 units in the first three months of 2024. We sold 23% more Hero2 units in the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 compared to the number of units sold in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. In addition, the new version of the hardware was sold in 2024; thus, the revenue was recognized when the units were shipped instead of being deferred and amortized over three years. The increase in monitoring revenue is due to an increase in the number of connections being monitored.

Revenue increased by $302,000, or 15.3%, from $1,973,000 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 to $2,275,000 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2024. Of the $2,275,000 in revenue recognized in the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, $2,061,000 was generated by PG activities and $214,000 was generated by CP activities. In the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, revenue from PG activities increased $372,000, or 22.0%, from $1,689,000, and revenue from CP activities decreased $70,000, or 24.6%, from $284,000.

Operating expenses for the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

R&D expense. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, R&D expense was $464,000 and $402,000, respectively. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, OmniMetrix recorded $226,000 of R&D expense as compared to $188,000 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2023. The increase in R&D expense is primarily related to increased salaries of our engineering staff that were effective October 1, 2023 and the continued investment to redesign and expand our product line to continue to increase our level of innovation ahead of our competitors.

Selling, general and administrative expense. SG&A expense of the consolidated entities in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 reflected an increase of $40,000, or 1.6%, as compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. OmniMetrix’s SG&A expense decreased $20,000, or 1.1%, from $1,942,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 to $1,922,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of (i) $18,000 in depreciation expense, (ii) $17,000 in sales tax and other business tax related expenses, (iii) $10,000 in travel and trade show expenses, and (iv) $9,000 in net decreases in the aggregate across other expense categories offset by increases of $23,000 in technology expenses for software and IT professional fees and $11,000 in personnel expenses due primarily to compensation increases. Corporate SG&A expense increased $60,000, or 12.7%, from $474,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 to $534,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. This increase was due to an increase of (i) $13,000 in tax fees primarily from the preparation of the 2023 tax provision, (ii) $12,000 in legal fees due to an increase in our monthly retainer effective January 1, 2024, (iii) $10,000 in audit fees due to an increase in engagement fees year over year of 14% and also to the timing of when the services were performed, (iv) $10,000 in stock compensation expense, (v) $8,000 in officer fees due to a 3% increase effective January 1, 2024 and (vi) $7,000 in other public company expenses.

SG&A expense of the consolidated entities in the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 reflected a decrease of $38,000, or 3.1%, as compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2023. OmniMetrix’s SG&A expense decreased $27,000, or 2.8%, from $979,000 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 to $952,000 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of (i) $25,000 in personnel expenses due to two sales roles that were unfilled in the second quarter of 2024 offset by annual salary increases that were effective October 1, 2023, (ii) $9,000 in depreciation expense, (iii) $6,000 in sales tax and other business tax related expenses and (iv) $5,000 in net decreases, in the aggregate, across other expense categories. These decreases were offset by increases of $10,000 in technology expenses for software and IT professional fees and $8,000 in facility expenses. Corporate SG&A expense decreased $11,000, or 4.6%, from $240,000 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 to $229,000 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was due to $18,000 in audit and tax fees related to additional services rendered in the second quarter of 2023 that were not applicable in the second quarter of 2024 and a net decrease of $3,000 in other public company expenses offset by increases in legal fees of $6,000 and officer fees of $4,000 both resulting from an increase in monthly retainer fees effective January 1, 2024.

Net income (loss) attributable to Acorn Energy. We recognized net income attributable to Acorn stockholders of $336,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to net income attributable to Acorn stockholders of $11,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. Our net income during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 is comprised of net income at OmniMetrix of $878,000 offset by corporate expenses of $534,000 and the non-controlling interest share of our income from OmniMetrix of $8,000. Our net income during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 is comprised of net income at OmniMetrix of $490,000 offset by corporate expenses of $475,000, including net interest expense of $1,000 and the non-controlling interest share of our income from OmniMetrix of $4,000.

23

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, we recognized net income attributable to Acorn stockholders of $271,000, compared to a net income attributable to Acorn stockholders of $96,000 for the three- month period ended June 30, 2023. Our net income during the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 is comprised of net income at OmniMetrix of $539,000 offset by corporate expenses of $263,000 and the non-controlling interest share of our income from OmniMetrix of $5,000. Our net income during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 is comprised of net income at OmniMetrix of $339,000 offset by corporate expenses of $240,000 and the non-controlling interest share of income from OmniMetrix of $3,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2024, we had a negative working capital of $423,000 which includes $1,463,000 of cash and deferred revenue of $3,590,000. Such deferred revenue does not require a significant cash outlay for the revenue to be recognized.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, our OmniMetrix subsidiary provided cash flow from operations of $693,000, while our corporate headquarters used $652,000 for operations during the same period.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, we invested $40,000 in technology and equipment and received proceeds of $13,000 from financing activities related to the exercise of stock options.

Other Liquidity Matters

Intercompany

OmniMetrix owes Acorn $2,362,000 for amounts loaned, accrued interest and expenses paid by Acorn on OmniMetrix’s behalf as of June 30, 2024 as compared to $2,657,000 as of December 31, 2023. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the intercompany amount due to Acorn from OmniMetrix decreased by $295,000. This included repayments of $484,000 offset by interest of $68,000, dividends of $38,000 due to Acorn and $83,000 in shared expenses paid by Acorn. These intercompany balances and amounts are eliminated in consolidation.

Liquidity

As of August 6, 2024, we had cash of $1,546,000. We believe that such cash, plus the cash expected to be generated from operations, will provide sufficient liquidity to finance our activities at their current level of operations for at least the twelve-month period from the issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report. We may, at some point, elect to obtain financing to fund additional investments in the business. If we decide to pursue additional financing in the future, it may be in the form of a bank line, a new loan or investment by others, an equity raise by Acorn which could then facilitate a loan by Acorn to OmniMetrix, or any combination thereof. Whether alternative funds, such as third-party loans or investments, will be available at the time and on terms acceptable to Acorn and OmniMetrix cannot be determined at this time.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2024.

As noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, we employ a decentralized internal control methodology, coupled with management’s oversight, whereby our subsidiary is responsible for mitigating its risks to financial reporting by implementing and maintaining effective control policies and procedures and subsequently translating that respective risk mitigation up and through to the parent level and to the Company’s external consolidated financial statements. Also, as the Company’s subsidiary is not large enough to effectively mitigate certain risks by segregating incompatible duties, management must employ compensating mechanisms throughout the Company in a manner that is feasible given the constraints within which it operates.

The material weaknesses management identified were caused by an insufficient complement of resources at our OmniMetrix subsidiary and limited IT system capabilities, such that individual control policies and procedures could not be implemented, maintained, or remediated when and where necessary. More specifically, there were material weaknesses identified in our internal control over financial reporting related to ineffective design and implementation of information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) in the areas of user access, program change management and vendor management controls.

As a result, a majority of the significant process areas management identified for our OmniMetrix subsidiary had three material weaknesses present. This condition was further exacerbated as the Company could not demonstrate that each of the principles described within COSO’s (the Committee of Sponsoring Organization’s) document “Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)” were present and functioning.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, we have implemented the following (i) a process pursuant to which System and Organization Controls (SOC) reports are obtained from third-party vendors on a recurring schedule and such reports are evaluated for any issues, (ii) provisioning/termination controls with signed and authenticated authorizations, and (iii) change controls for development processes that require authorizations, peer review, quality assurance documentation, ticket matching of changes to work authorizations and overall change controls. It is our belief that these added controls and related actions will effectively remediate the existing material weaknesses. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated, however, until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of these material weaknesses will be completed by the end of fiscal 2024.

Other than the remediation actions above, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
