**ClearSign Technologies Corporation**

**Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements**

#### Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business
ClearSign Technologies Corporation ("ClearSign" or the "Company") designs and develops products and technologies for the purpose of decarbonization and improving key performance characteristics of industrial and commercial systems, including operational performance, energy efficiency, emission reduction, safety, and overall cost-effectiveness. The Company's patented technologies are designed to be embedded in established original equipment manufacturers ("OEM") products as ClearSign Core™ and ClearSign Eye and other sensing configurations in order to enhance the performance of combustion systems and fuel safety systems in a broad range of markets. These markets include energy (upstream oil production and down-stream refining), commercial/industrial boiler, chemical, petrochemical, transport and power industries. The Company's primary technology is its ClearSign Core™ technology, which achieves very low emissions without the need of selective catalytic reduction.

The Company was originally incorporated in the State of Washington in 2008. During January 2022, the Company relocated its headquarters from Seattle, Washington to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Effective June 15, 2023, the Company changed its state of incorporation to Delaware. On July 28, 2017, the Company incorporated a subsidiary, ClearSign Asia Limited, in Hong Kong to represent the Company's business and technological interests throughout Asia. Through ClearSign Asia Limited, the Company has established a wholly foreign owned enterprise in China – ClearSign Combustion (Beijing) Environmental Technologies Co., LTD. On August 22, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized management to move forward with filing for dormancy with Chinese regulators to suspend the Company's Beijing, China operations. A dormancy filing allows the Company to keep its China legal entity in a suspended status for up to three years. The Company can revive its China operations at any time during those three years with minimal cost impact. The effective date of our dormancy filing was March 12, 2025.

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "us," "our," "ClearSign" and the "Company" refer to ClearSign Technologies Corporation and its subsidiary, ClearSign Asia Limited.

#### Business Segments
The Company operates in one operating and reportable segment engaged in the design, development and sale of combustion technologies that improve the performance and cost-effectiveness of industrial combustion systems, referred to herein as the "Combustion" segment. The Company manages its business activities on a consolidated basis. Since the operations comprise a single reportable segment, amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity, and cash flows represent the activities of the Combustion segment.

The Combustion segment derives revenues by delivering products and technology solutions to OEM's and end-users. Our products and solutions can be incorporated into a new or existing customer infrastructure or equipment. Customer contracts can include multiple billing milestones and performance obligations. The Company can typically satisfy its performance obligations within a twelve month period, but customer project delays, some of which can be beyond the Company's control, can impact timing of performance and there is no assurance we will satisfy all performance obligations in such period of time.

The Company's Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), reviews quarterly financial information on a consolidated basis for making operating decisions, allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The CODM consistently reviews the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss to manage operations and monitor performance against management expectations. Factors considered by the CODM when assessing a reportable segment include factors such as, but not limited to, human capital, intellectual property, customer relationships and business model design.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Substantially all the Company's operating activities, including its long-lived assets, are located within the United States. Customers in the United States accounted for 100% of revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The Company disaggregates geographical revenues by selling location, since many of our target customers are global entities, and it would be more likely than not, that these customers would negotiate sales within our current territory in the United States.

#### Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for reporting on Form 10-Q.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024 has been derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.

In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring and other adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year or any other future periods.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ClearSign and its subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Research and Development

The cost of research and development is expensed as incurred. Research and development costs consist of salaries, benefits, share-based compensation, consumables, and consulting fees, including costs to develop and test prototype equipment and parts. Research and development costs have been offset by funds received, if any, from strategic partners in cost sharing, collaborative projects. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company received no funds from these types of arrangements. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company received zero and $107 thousand, respectively, from these types of arrangements.

Foreign Operations

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 include assets amounting to approximately $170 thousand and $145 thousand, respectively, relating to the operations of ClearSign Asia Limited. The Beijing registered capital requirement is $350 thousand, which is required to be paid by June 30, 2032, and of which $211 thousand has been paid as of June 30, 2025. On August 22, 2024, the Board authorized management to move forward with filing for dormancy with Chinese regulators to suspend the Company's Beijing, China operations. A dormancy filing allows the Company to keep its China legal entity in a suspended status for up to three years. The Company can revive its China operations at any time during those three years with minimal cost impact. The dormancy filing became effective as of March 12, 2025.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures* ("ASU 2023-09") to enhance the transparency and decision-making usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring additional information on an entity's tax rate reconciliation, as well as income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for our reporting period beginning January 1, 2025. We are currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have on the disclosures in our annual consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, *Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures* (Subtopic 220-40) ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires enhanced disclosures about types of expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization, in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Entities may apply the amendments prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the disclosures within our consolidated financial statements. While ASU 2024-03 will impact only our disclosures and not our financial condition and results of operations, we are assessing when we will adopt the ASU 2024-03.

In May 2025, FASB issued ASU No. 2025-04, *Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Clarifications to Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer* ("ASU 2025-04"), which clarifies the guidance on the accounting for share-based payment awards that are granted by an entity as consideration payable to its customer, with the intent to reduce diversity in practice and improve existing guidance by revising the definition of a "performance condition" and eliminating a forfeiture policy election for service conditions associated with share-based consideration payable to a customer. ASU 2025-04 also clarifies the guidance in Topic 606 on the variable consideration constraint does not apply to share-based consideration payable to a customer "regardless of whether an award's grant date has occurred." ASU 2025-04 is effective for our reporting period beginning January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2025-04 will have on the disclosures in our annual consolidated financial statements.

Leases

The Company leases office space in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Seattle, Washington, and Beijing, China. During May 2025, the Company renewed its Beijing, China lease for 24 months with monthly rent at approximately $3 thousand. As a result of this renewal, the Company increased the right-of-use ("ROU") asset and lease liability by $68 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

During October 2024, the Company entered into a sub-lease agreement to rent office space in Seattle for approximately $2 thousand per month for twelve months. The Seattle lease is considered a short-term lease, as the lease term is 12 months or less from the commencement date. The short-term lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was approximately $5 thousand and $11 thousand, respectively. The short-term lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately $5 thousand and $11 thousand, respectively. The Tulsa and Beijing leases are classified as operating leases, with remaining terms ranging from two years to approximately three years; contractual language requires renewal negotiations to occur at or near termination. These leases are normal and customary for office space, in that, contractual guarantees exist requiring the lessee return the premises to its original functional state.

The Tulsa lease contains fixed annual lease payments that increase annually by 2%. The Seattle, Tulsa, and Beijing total monthly minimum rent is approximately $10 thousand, in the aggregate. Operating lease costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $25 thousand and $49 thousand, respectively.

Equity Incentive Plan

On June 17, 2021, the Company's stockholders approved and the Company adopted the ClearSign Technologies Corporation 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2021 Plan") which permits the Company to grant incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, and performance shares, to eligible participants, which includes employees, directors and consultants. The Board's Human Capital and Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") is authorized to administer the 2021 Plan.

The 2021 Plan provides for an annual increase in available shares equal to the lesser of (i) 10% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued by the Company in the prior fiscal year; or (ii) such number provided by the

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Compensation Committee; provided, however, that the total cumulative increase in the number of shares available for issuance pursuant to this automatic share increase shall not exceed 400 thousand shares of common stock. In 2025, the Board did not exercise their right to limit the automatic increase. Accordingly, the 2021 Plan share reserve increased by 400 thousand shares.

Ending balances for the 2021 Plan is as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | June 30,  | December 31,  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;(*in thousands*) | 2025 | 2024 |
| Outstanding options and restricted stock units | 3474 | 3316 |
| Reserved but unissued shares under the Plan | 1692 | 1858 |
| Reserved but unissued shares at end of period | 5166 | 5174 |

---

Stock Options

Under the terms of the 2021 Plan, incentive stock options and nonstatutory stock options must have an exercise price at or above the fair market value on the date of the grant. At the time of grant, the Company will determine the period within which the option may be exercised and will specify any conditions that must be satisfied before the option vests and may be exercised. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

As permitted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, management utilized the simplified approach to estimate the expected term of the options, which represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Expected volatility has been determined through the Company's historical stock price volatility. The Company has not made an estimate of forfeitures at the time of the grant, but rather accounts for forfeitures at the time they occur. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant. The Company has never declared or paid dividends and has no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.

*Equity Incentive Plan Options*

Compensation expense associated with stock option awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 totaled $17 thousand and $38 thousand, respectively. Compensation expense associated with stock option awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $28 thousand and $50 thousand, respectively.

A summary of the Company's 2011 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2021 Plan stock option activity and changes is as follows:

---

| Exercisable at end of period | 1872 | $1.70 | 3.78 | $— |

---

The intrinsic value is the difference between the Company's common stock price and the option exercise prices multiplied by the number of in-the-money options. This amount changes based on the fair value of the Company's common stock.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

At June 30, 2025, there was $249 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option-based compensation arrangements. Vesting criteria ranges from time-based to performance-based. The Company records costs for time-based arrangements ratably across the timeframe, whereas performance-based arrangements require management to continually evaluate predetermined goals against actual circumstances. The maximum contractual term for these options are ten years from the grant date.

*Inducement Options*

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company granted non-qualified stock options to its Chief Technology Officer to purchase an aggregate of 150 thousand shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.91 as a material inducement to accept employment with the Company. These inducement options vest in three equal installments, with one third of the option vesting on the grant date, and each remaining third vesting on the second and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to continued employment with the Company. The fair value of these options were estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which resulted in $112 thousand. The compensation expense recognized for these awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $9 thousand and $18 thousand, respectively. The compensation expense recognized for these awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $10 thousand and $19 thousand, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation expense for these inducement options as of June 30, 2025 was $13 thousand.

These inducement options were granted outside of the 2021 Plan and in accordance with the employment inducement

exemption provided under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4).

A summary of the Company's inducement option activity and changes is as follows:

Restricted Stock Units

The Company awards employees and directors restricted stock units ("RSUs") in lieu of cash payment for compensation. These awards are granted from the 2021 Plan. Employee vesting criteria is time based, and compensation expense is recognized ratably across the timeframe. The Company pays payroll withholding taxes on behalf of the employee at vesting, and withholds shares from the employee's award to cover the taxes payable. The Company accrued taxes for RSU share-based compensation of $18 thousand and $29 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation expense for employee RSUs as of June 30, 2025 was $266 thousand.

Director vesting criteria is contingent upon the occurrence of one of four future events, which the Company cannot predict or control. Therefore, compensation expense for director RSUs is not recognized until one of these four future events occur, which is in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 718*,* "*Compensation – Stock Compensation*." Total unrecognized compensation expense for director services as of June 30, 2025 was $743 thousand. Director compensation is earned on a quarterly basis with the target value of compensation set at approximately $75 thousand per quarter, assuming five directors, one chairperson for each committee and two committee members for each of the three committees. As of June 30, 2025, we had seven directors.

The Company's officers, employees, and Board members are not entitled to receive grants from the Consultant Plan. The Compensation Committee is authorized to administer the Consultant Plan and establish the grant terms. The Consultant Plan provides for quarterly increases in the available number of authorized shares equal to the lesser of 1% of any new shares issued by the Company during the quarter immediately prior to the adjustment date or such lesser amount as the Board shall determine.

#### Note 8 – Net Loss per Common Share
The Company calculates net loss per common share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share" ("ASC 260"). Basic and diluted net loss per common share was determined by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Under ASC 260, shares issuable for little or no cash consideration are considered outstanding common shares and included in the computation of basic net loss per share. As such, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company included its outstanding pre-funded warrants in its computation of net loss per share. The pre-funded warrants were issued in April and June 2024 and are each exercisable into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share.

The following potentially dilutive securities have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, as the result would be anti-dilutive:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | June 30,  | June 30,  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;(*in thousands*) | 2025 | 2024 |
| Stock Options | 2888 | 3148 |
| Restricted Stock Units | 1077 | 682 |
| Warrants | 21272 | 21319 |
| Total shares excluded from calculation | 25237 | 25149 |

#### N ote 9 – Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation

From time to time the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in any such matter may harm the Company's business. As of the date of this report, the Company is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings or claims that the Company believes will have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or operating results.

Indemnification Agreements

The Company maintains indemnification agreements with our directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify these individuals against liabilities that arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, except as prohibited by law.

**Note 10 – Government Assistance**

During 2022, the Company was awarded a research grant from the Department of Energy ("DOE") for approximately $250 thousand with the completion of such grant occurring in March 2023. The purpose of the grant was to produce a research paper for a flexible fuel ultra-low NOx process burner capable of burning 100% hydrogen fuel. During 2023, the Company was awarded a Phase 2 grant from the DOE to continue developing this ultra-low NOx hydrogen burner. The Phase 2 grant amount totaled approximately $1.6 million over a two-year period. These awards allow the Company to request reimbursements for expenditures such as labor, material, and administrative costs. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $43 thousand and $91 thousand in reimbursements from the DOE, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $168 thousand and $216 thousand in reimbursements from the DOE, respectively.

Beginning in 2021, the Company received funds relating to the Oklahoma 21<sup>st</sup> Century Quality Jobs Act. The estimated duration of the program is up to 10 years and is designed to attract growth industries to Oklahoma. By reporting quarterly salary statistics and meeting agreed upon employment thresholds, the state remits benefit monies to the Company. During three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company did not receive any funds from this program. During three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $16 thousand and $47 thousand in government assistance from this program, respectively.

**Note 11 – Subsequent Events**

The Company has evaluated subsequent events as of the date of this report and has none to report.

#### ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
*The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis here and throughout this Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, the risks described in the section titled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.*

**Overview**

We design and develop technologies for the purpose of decarbonization and improving key performance characteristics of combustion systems, including emission and operational performance, energy efficiency and overall

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

cost-effectiveness. Our ClearSign Core™ technology has been proven in full scale industrial test furnaces and boilers and first customer installations are currently operating in normal commercial applications. We have generated nominal revenues from operations to date to meet operating expenses.

We have incurred losses since inception totaling $102.8 million and we expect to experience operating losses and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future. We have historically financed our operations primarily through issuances of equity securities. As of June 30, 2025, we have raised approximately $105.3 million in gross proceeds through the sale of our equity securities. We may need to raise additional capital in the future, however, the significant volatility in the capital markets may negatively affect our ability to raise this additional capital.

In order to generate meaningful revenues, our technologies must gain market recognition and acceptance to develop sufficient recurring sales. In addition, management believes that the successful growth and operation of our business is dependent upon our ability to obtain adequate sources of funding through co-development agreements, strategic partnering agreements, or equity or debt financing to support commercialization of our research and development efforts, protect intellectual property, form relationships with strategic partners and provide for working capital and general corporate purposes. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving our long term plans, or that such plans, if consummated, will result in profitable operations or enable us to continue in the long term as a going concern.

Our costs include employee salaries and benefits, compensation paid to consultants, materials and supplies for prototype development and manufacture, costs associated with development activities including materials, sub-contractors, travel and administration, legal and accounting expenses, sales and marketing costs, general and administrative expenses, and other costs associated with an early stage, publicly traded technology company. We currently have 17 full-time employees. Because using third party expertise and resources is more efficient than maintaining full time resources, we also expect to incur ongoing consulting expenses related to technology development and some administrative, sales and legal functions commensurate with our current level of activities.

The amount that we spend for any specific purpose may vary significantly, and could depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the pace of progress of our commercialization and development efforts, actual needs with respect to product testing, development and research, market conditions, and changes in or revisions to our sales and marketing strategies.

Research, development, and commercial acceptance of new technologies are, by their nature, unpredictable. Although we undertake development and commercialization efforts with reasonable diligence, there can be no assurance that the net proceeds from our securities offerings will be sufficient to enable us to develop our technology to the extent needed to create sufficient future sales to sustain operations. If the net proceeds from these offerings are insufficient for this purpose, we will consider other options to continue our path to commercialization, including, but not limited to, additional financing through follow-on equity offerings, debt financing, co-development agreements, sale or licensing of developed intellectual or other property, or other alternatives.

We cannot assure that our technologies will be accepted, that we will ever earn revenues sufficient to support our operations, or that we will ever be profitable. Furthermore, we have no committed source of financing, and we cannot assure that we will be able to raise money as and when we need it to continue our operations. If we cannot raise funds as and when we need them, we may be required to scale back our development by reducing expenditures for employees, consultants, business development and marketing efforts or to otherwise severely curtail, or even to cease, our operations.

**Recent Developments**

***Special Committee of the Board of Directors***

On February 10, 2025, the Company's board of directors (the "Board") formed a special committee of all of its then serving independent directors (the "Special Committee") to review and analyze purported director nominations by

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

certain of our stockholders, and non-stockholders, in connection with the Company's 2025 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2025 Annual Meeting"), and to manage communications and to negotiate and agree settlements with such purported nominating individuals. The Special Committee entered into that certain Cooperation Agreement, dated May 22, 2025, between us and Anthony DiGiandomenico (the "DiGiandomenico Cooperation Agreement"), and that certain Cooperation Agreement, dated May 22, 2025, between us and Richard Clarkson (the "Clarkson Cooperation Agreement," and together with the DiGiandomenico Cooperation Agreement, the "Cooperation Agreements"), which agreements required, among other things, the appointment of Mr. DiGiandomenico and Louis J. Basenese to the Board. Following the 2025 Annual Meeting, the Special Committee was dissolved.

***Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard***

On April 1, 2025, we received a letter (the "Notice") from Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications Staff (the "Staff") indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock for the 30 consecutive business days beginning on February 18, 2025, and ending on March 31, 2025, we no longer meet the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have been provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until September 29, 2025, in which to regain compliance. In order to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, the closing bid price of our common stock must be at least $1 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180 day period. In the event that we do not regain compliance within this 180 day period, we may be eligible to seek an additional compliance period of 180 calendar days if it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for Nasdaq, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency during this second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears to the Staff that we will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if we are not otherwise eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice to us that our common stock will be subject to delisting.

The Notice does not result in the immediate delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq. We intend to monitor the closing bid price of our common stock and consider its available options in the event that the closing bid price of our common stock remains below $1 per share.

***Stockholder Cooperation Agreements***

On May 22, 2025, we entered into the Clarkson Cooperation Agreement with Mr. Clarkson (collectively with his affiliates and associates, the "Clarkson Parties") and the DiGiandomenico Cooperation Agreement with Mr. DiGiandomenico (collectively with his affiliates and associates, the "DiGiandomenico Parties").

Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreements, the Clarkson Parties, in connection with the Clarkson Cooperation Agreement, and the DiGiandomenico Parties, in connection with the DiGiandomenico Cooperation Agreement, each, among other things, (a) acknowledged the irrevocable withdrawal of letters they previously delivered to the Company purporting to notify the Company of intent to nominate a director for election to the Board at the 2025 Annual Meeting, and (b) agreed to irrevocably withdraw all outstanding materials and purported notices submitted to the Company, and cease all solicitation efforts and other activities, in connection with or related thereto.

Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreements, the Board increased its size from five to seven directors, appointed Messrs. Basenese and DiGiandomenico (each, a "New Director" and together, the "New Directors") to the Board, and nominated each New Director as a candidate for election to the Board at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

From the Effective Date until the earlier of (x) the date immediately following the conclusion of the Company's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders and (y) the occurrence of a Change of Control transaction (as defined in the Cooperation Agreements) (together, such term lengths of the Cooperation Agreements, the "Term"), the Clarkson Parties and the DiGiandomenico Parties have agreed to vote all Voting Securities (as defined in the Cooperation Agreements) beneficially owned by them at all meetings of the Company's stockholders, or to execute a consent with respect to such

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Voting Securities, in accordance with the Board's recommendations on all proposals submitted to stockholders, except that the Clarkson Parties and the DiGiandomenico Parties may vote in their discretion on any proposal of the Company in respect of any Extraordinary Transaction (as defined in the Cooperation Agreements). The Clarkson Parties and the DiGiandomenico Parties have also agreed to certain customary standstill provisions during the Term, prohibiting them from, among other things, (i) soliciting proxies, (ii) communicating with stockholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14a-1(l)(2)(iv) under the Exchange Act, (iii) taking public actions to change or influence the Board, management or the direction of certain Company matters, and (iv) acquiring an aggregate beneficial ownership of more than 3.5% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock or Voting Securities.

During the Term, the Company and the Clarkson Parties and the DiGiandomenico Parties, as applicable, have agreed that they will not disparage each other and that they will not threaten, initiate, encourage or pursue, alone or in concert with others, or knowingly assist any other person to threaten, initiate, encourage or pursue, any lawsuit, claim, or proceeding with respect to any claims against the Company or a Clarkson Party or DiGiandomenico Party, as applicable, except for any legal proceeding initiated solely to remedy a breach of or to enforce the Cooperation Agreements. The Clarkson Parties and the DiGiandomenico Parties have also granted the Company a general release from any claims arising on or prior to the date of the applicable Cooperation Agreement, subject to limited exceptions.

***Termination of At The Market Agreement with Virtu***

Effective as of July 12, 2025, we terminated its At-the-Market Sales Agreement (the "Virtu ATM Agreement"), dated as of December 23, 2020, that we entered into with Virtu Americas LLC ("Virtu"). Pursuant to the Virtu ATM Agreement, we could offer and sell, from time to time, through or to Virtu, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $8,700,000.

***At The Market Agreement with H.C. Wainwright***

On July 17, 2025, we entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the "ATM Agreement") with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC ("Wainwright"). In accordance with the terms of the ATM Agreement, we may offer and sell from time to time through Wainwright, acting as sales agent, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $10,390,000 (the "Placement Shares"). The Placement Shares will be issued pursuant to the Company's shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-288736) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 17, 2025 (the "Registration Statement") and the prospectus relating to the offer and sale of the Placement Shares that forms a part of the Registration Statement, which was declared effective on July 28, 2025.

***Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard***

On August 8, 2025, we received a notice (the "Second Notice") from Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications Department stating that we are not in compliance with the board of directors independence requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1) and the audit committee composition requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) (collectively, the "Nasdaq Composition Requirements") due to the resignations of Catharine M. de Lacy and Judith S. Schrecker from the Board on August 4, 2026.

Specifically, when the Second Notice was issued, the Board did not have a majority of directors that would be considered "independent directors," as that term is defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2), and the Audit and Risk Committee of the Board (the "Audit Committee") consisted of only two independent directors, rather than the minimum three independent directors as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A).

We intend to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Composition Requirements by appointing a new director to the Board and Audit Committee who meets the independence requirements under Nasdaq rules and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act. Consistent with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5605(b)(1)(A) and 5605(c)(4), Nasdaq has provided us a cure period in order to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Composition Requirements (i) until the earlier of our next annual

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

meeting of stockholders or one year from the resignation of Mss. de Lacy and Schrecker, or August 4, 2026, or (ii) if our next annual meeting of stockholders is held before February 2, 2026, then no later than February 2, 2026.

The Second Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq.

**Critical Accounting Policies**

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations. These policies and estimates require the application of significant judgment by management. These estimates can be materially affected by changes from period to period as economic factors and conditions outside of our control change. As a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, our management uses their judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical operations, our future business plans and projected financial results, the terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. We believe the current assumptions and other considerations used to estimate amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q are appropriate.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

This Form 10-Q and our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K include discussions of our accounting policies, as well as methods and estimates used in the preparation of our audited consolidated financial statements. For further information on our critical accounting policies and estimates, see "Item 7 – Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and "Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Since our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have not experienced a material change to our critical accounting policies or the methods and applications used to develop our accounting estimates.

*Revenues and Gross Profit*

Consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $133 thousand compared to $45 thousand for the same period in 2024, and were predominantly generated by delivering spare parts orders to multiple customers and a boiler burner order to a repeat customer. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were predominantly related to engineering services provided to customers as part of our contractual performance obligations.

Consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $534 thousand compared to $1,147 thousand for the same period in 2024, and were predominantly generated by delivering spare parts orders to multiple customers, delivering a boiler burner to a repeat customer, and successfully completing multiple CFD analyses. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were predominantly generated from our process burner line. Specifically, we shipped multiple process burners, executed consulting services, and delivered spare parts related to

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

orders from our California refinery customer. For a different customer, an engineering study and CFD analysis was successfully accepted by the customer, which analysis satisfied a contractual performance obligation for this customer.

Gross profit increased by $13 thousand, or 31.0%, and decreased by $228 thousand, or 47.6%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same time periods in 2024. The favorable increase in gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was predominantly due to higher revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was partially offset by a $69 thousand decrease in profit margin, which was predominantly due to the lower profit margin of delivering spare parts in the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the profit margin of engineering services that we provided in the same period in 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our unfavorable decrease in gross profit was predominantly due to lower revenues.

*Operating Expenses*

Operating expenses consist of research and development ("R&D") and general and administrative ("G&A") expenses. These are addressed separately below.

*Research and Development*

R&D expenses decreased $155 thousand, or 38.6%, and increased $11 thousand, or 1.6%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same time periods in 2024. The favorable decrease in R&D expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2025 was predominantly driven by a year-over-year decrease in product development costs of $168 thousand related to our process burner product line. R&D expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2025 remained relatively consistent year-over-year.

*General and Administrative*

G&A expenses decreased $131 thousand, or 7.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same time period in 2024. We experienced year-over-year savings of $260 thousand related to the vesting of restricted stock units triggered by the departure of a member of our Board during the three months ended June 30, 2024, which did not occur during the same period in 2025. Our labor and overhead expenses also decreased by $105 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to certain contract work we performed to one of our U.S. Gulf Coast refinery customers during the three months ended June 30, 2025. These labor and overhead costs were capitalized onto the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet within our "Contract Assets" account and will be released to "Cost of Goods Sold" when we recognize revenue for this customer order. Decreases in G&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were partially offset by an increase in expenses related to an accrual for legal fees of $300 thousand pertaining to work performed for the Special Committee (see "Recent Developments – Special Committee of the Board of Directors" above for additional information), and an accrual of $22 thousand for the reimbursement of certain legal fees incurred by the Clarkson Parties and DiGiandomenico Parties (each as defined above) in connection with the Cooperation Agreements (as defined above) they entered into with us (see "Recent Developments – Stockholder Cooperation Agreements" above for additional information).

G&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased by $467 thousand, or 14.7%, compared to the same period in 2024. This unfavorable increase in G&A expenses was primarily due to an increase of $903 thousand in legal fees, including (i) $131 thousand in legal fees pertaining to work performed in connection with a regulatory inquiry by the SEC into the trading of our securities in 2020; (ii) an accrual of $750 thousand in legal fees pertaining to work performed for the Special Committee (see "Recent Developments – Special Committee of the Board of Directors" above for additional information); and (iii) an accrual of $22 thousand for the reimbursement of certain legal fees incurred by the Clarkson Parties and DiGiandomenico Parties in connection with the Cooperation Agreements they entered into with us (see "Recent Developments – Stockholder Cooperation Agreements" above for additional information). Increases in G&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were partially offset by decreases of $260 thousand related to the vesting of restricted stock units that did not occur compared to the same period in 2024 and $105 thousand for labor and overhead expenses as described in the above paragraph.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

*Other Income, Net*

Other income, net decreased by $107 thousand, or 40.4%, for the three months ending June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. The unfavorable decrease is primarily due to $125 thousand decrease in government assistance from our Department of Energy hydrogen burner development grant. The decrease in grant funding is primarily the result of the timing related to scheduling the burner test facility, which caused a delay in our development activities. The decrease in other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was partially offset by an increase of $38 thousand in interest income driven by our year-over-year cash position.

Other income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was relatively unchanged compared to the same time period in 2024.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

At June 30, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents balance totaled $12,339 thousand compared to $14,035 thousand at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $1,696 thousand. The decrease in cash and cash equivalent balance is primarily attributable to our net loss of $3,756 thousand which was partially offset by our non-cash expenses of $245 thousand and an increase in contract liabilities of $1,603 thousand.

At June 30, 2025, our current assets were in excess of current liabilities resulting in working capital of $9,480 thousand as compared to $12,809 thousand at December 31, 2024. We believe we have sufficient cash and expected cash collections to fund current operating expenses for over twelve months. We have no contractual debt obligations and to the extent we may require additional funds beyond twelve months from the date hereof, and customer cash collections cannot fund our needs, we may utilize equity offerings. Historically, we have funded operations predominantly through equity offerings. Until the growth of revenue increases to a level that covers our operating expenses, we intend to continue to fund operations in this manner, although the volatility in the capital markets may negatively affect our ability to do so. As of June 30, 2025, approximately 21.3 million shares of our common stock are issuable upon exercise of our outstanding warrants, which number excludes the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of our outstanding pre-funded warrants, and we may receive up to $22.5 million in aggregate gross proceeds from the cash exercises thereof, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations set forth therein. These warrants require the warrant holder to tender cash upon exercise, with the exception of the warrants issued to Public Ventures LLC as compensation for their services in connection with our public offering and concurrent private placement in April 2024, which allow the holder to exercise cashless if they so desire. These equity financial instruments may from time-to-time fund future cash needs, but the volatility of our common stock price and the risk tolerance of warrant holders will determine the extent in which we will be able to raise funds in this manner.

Operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025, resulted in cash outflows of $1,622 thousand, primarily due to the net loss of $3,756 thousand partially offset by non-cash expenses of $245 thousand and an increase in contract liabilities of $1,603 thousand during such period. The change in contract liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2025, was impacted by customer collections for orders we have yet to complete

Operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024, resulted in cash outflows of $2,525 thousand, primarily due to the net loss for the period of $2,980 thousand, offset with non-cash expense of $519 thousand.

Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025, resulted in cash outflows of $57 thousand, which is primarily attributable to disbursements for patents and other intangible assets.

Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024, resulted in cash outflows of $117 thousand, which is primarily attributable to $99 thousand of disbursements for patents and other intangible assets.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025, resulted in cash outflows of $17 thousand, which is primarily attributable to $41 thousand of disbursements related to taxes paid for the vesting of certain employee restricted stock units, partially offset by $24 thousand in net proceeds received from the exercise of our warrants.

Financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024, resulted in cash inflows of $12,936 thousand, which is primarily attributable to the issuance of securities in connection with our public offering and concurrent private placement in April 2024, offset by $31 thousand in disbursements for taxes paid related to vesting of employee restricted stock units.

**Off-Balance Sheet Transactions**

We do not have any off-balance sheet transactions.

#### ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide this information.

#### ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
**Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal accounting and financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (principal accounting and financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025, the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based upon the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025, our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (principal accounting and financial officer) concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures**

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (principal accounting and financial officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

#### 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. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

#### ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We incorporate herein by reference the risk factors included under "Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 which we filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025. There are no material changes from the risk factors set forth in such prior filing, except as set forth below.

***Our ability to utilize our common stock to finance future capital needs, or for other purposes, is limited by the number of authorized shares of common stock currently available for issuance.***

We have authority to issue a total of 87,500,000 shares of common stock, of which 52,426,282 shares of common stock have been issued and approximately 30,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance in connection with certain securities issued under our equity incentive plans and other outstanding securities, including stock options and warrants.

We have historically financed our operations primarily through issuances of equity securities. With the limited shares of common stock presently available for issuance, our ability to secure additional financing through the sale of common stock, to the extent needed, is limited. Absent an increase in the shares of common stock authorized to be issued under our certificate of incorporation, we will be limited to other financing structures in the event additional financing is required. Such alternative structures may be less favorable or unavailable in which case we may be forced to forego opportunities or required to downsize operations due to lack of funding.

***If we fail to comply with Nasdaq's continued minimum closing bid requirements by September 29, 2025 or other requirements for continued listing, including stockholder equity requirements, our common stock may be delisted and the price of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.***

Our common stock is listed for trading on Nasdaq, therefore, we must satisfy Nasdaq's continued listing requirements, including, among other things, a minimum closing bid price requirement of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. On April 1, 2025, the Staff notified us that we did not comply with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), during the 30 consecutive business day period beginning on February 18, 2025, and ending March 31, 2025. We have been granted 180 calendar days, or until September 29, 2025, to regain compliance. In the event that we do not regain compliance within this 180 period, we may be eligible to seek an additional compliance period of 180 days if we meet certain requirements.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq's listing rules. If we are unable to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or if we fail to meet any of the other continued listing requirements, including stockholder equity requirements, our securities may be delisted from Nasdaq, which could

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

reduce the liquidity of our common stock materially and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our common stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, employees and business development opportunities.

***We are subject to risks associated with proxy contests and other actions of activist stockholders.***

On February 10, 2025, the Board formed the Special Committee to review and analyze purported director nominations by certain of our stockholders, and non-stockholders, in connection with our 2025 Annual Meeting, and to manage communications and to negotiate and agree settlements with such purported nominating individuals. On May 22, 2025, the Special Committee entered into the Cooperation Agreements, which agreements required, among other things, the appointment of Messrs. DiGiandomenico and Basenese to the Board. Following the 2025 Annual Meeting, the Special Committee was dissolved.

Any legal challenges or other actions by stockholders could result in costly and time-consuming litigation, interfere with our ability to execute our business plan, give rise to perceived uncertainties as to our future direction, adversely affect our relationships with customers, suppliers, investors, prospective and current team members and others, result in the loss of potential business opportunities, or make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results. The market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuation or otherwise be adversely affected by the events, risks and uncertainties related to any such stockholder activism.

#### ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On November 13, 2024, the Board authorized issuance of 15,000 shares to be remitted in quarterly installments to our investor relations firm, Firm IR Group LLC ("Firm IR"), for services rendered by them, pursuant to our 2013 Consultant Stock Plan. On June 30, 2025, we issued 3,750 shares of common stock to Firm IR at a fair market value price per share of $0.94, the closing price of our common stock as reported on Nasdaq on November 13, 2024, the date of grant. These shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, for a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.

#### ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
Not applicable.

#### ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
Not applicable.

**ITEM 5.** **OTHER INFORMATION**

None of the Company's directors or officers adopted, modified or terminated a Rule 10b-5 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b-5 trading arrangement during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025, as such terms are defined under Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

**CERTIFICATION**
