Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

 

1.Nature of Operations

 

Organization

 

Ambia Energy, LLC was organized on March 24, 2021 as a Utah limited liability company. The Company is a residential solar energy system installer and operates in various markets throughout the United States. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ambia Holdings, Inc.

 

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, exceeds federally insured limits. To date, the Company has not experienced a loss or lack of access to its invested cash; however, no assurance can be provided that access to the Company’s invested cash will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.

 

In the normal course of business, the Company provides credit terms to its customers and generally requires no collateral. Customers that comprise more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable or annual net sales are considered to be major customers. No residential customer accounted for more than 10% of sales or accounts receivable as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

 

The Company’s residential customers generally pay for the transaction with financing. Significant lenders were as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

 

   2025   2024 
Lender A   27%   * 
Lender B   19%   18%
Lender C   17%   * 
Lender D   12%   * 
Lender E   11%   72%

 

*Lender funded less than 10% of sales for the year.

 

Additionally, the following lenders owed a significant portion of the Company’s account receivable balance as of September 30, 2025 and 2024:

 

   2025   2024 
Lender B   27%   47%
Lender E   *    32%
Lender A   *    10%

 

*Lender accounted for less than 10% of the accounts receivable balance.

 

4

 

Major vendors are defined as those vendors to which expenditures made by the Company are 10% or more of the Company’s total solar materials costs. The following was a major vendor for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

 

   2025   2024 
Vendor A   89%   29%
Vendor B   *    10%

 

*Vendor did not represent more than 10% of expenditures.

 

Lease Commitments

 

The Company leases certain office and warehouse space, and vehicles. The Company assesses whether an arrangement qualifies as a lease (i.e., conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration) at inception and whether the arrangement is an operating or finance lease, and only reassesses its determination if the terms and conditions of the arrangement are changed. For all arrangements where it is determined that a lease exists, the related right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recorded within the balance sheet as either operating or finance leases. At inception or modification, the Company calculates the present value of lease payments using the implicit rate determined from the contract or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate applicable to the lease, which is determined by estimating what it would cost the Company to borrow a collateralized amount equal to the total lease payments over the lease term based on the contractual terms of the lease and the location of the leased asset. The present value is adjusted for prepaid lease payments, lease incentives, and initial direct costs (e.g. commissions). The Company’s leases may require fixed rental payments, variable lease payments based on usage or sales and fixed non-lease costs relating to the leased asset.

 

Variable lease payments are generally not included in the measurement of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease expense is recognized for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Fixed non-lease costs, for example common-area maintenance costs, taxes, insurance, and maintenance, are excluded from the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability as the Company separates lease and non-lease components.

 

Some leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term for up to three years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. The depreciable life of the assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected term unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.

 

Accounts Receivable, Contract Assets, and Allowance for Credit Losses

 

The Company records its accounts receivable and contract assets at sales value. The Company’s contract assets consist of revenues recognized by the Company, but for which the Company has not yet been able to contractually invoice for final payment. The Company has tracked historical loss information for its accounts receivable and contract assets and compiled historical credit loss percentages for customers who share similar risk characteristics considering current trends and forecasts. Management believes that the historical loss information it has compiled is a reasonable basis on which to determine expected credit losses for accounts receivable and contract assets held as of period end because the composition of the accounts receivable and contract assets at that date is consistent with that used in developing the historical credit-loss percentages (i.e. the similar risk characteristics of its customers and its lending practices have not changed significantly over time). Final payment of the Company’s accounts receivable is considered past due when payment has not been received within 30 days of the invoice date. Account balances are charged off against the allowance for credit losses when the probability for recovery is remote. Recoveries of receivables previously charged off are recorded when cash payment is received. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the allowance for credit losses was $225,000 and $0.

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets or over the related lease terms (if shorter) as follows:

 

Tools and gear   3 years 
Computer equipment   3 years 
Furniture   5 years 
Vehicles   3 years 
Office equipment   3 years 
Leasehold improvements   1-5 years 

 

Expenditures that materially increase values or capacities or extend useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Routine maintenance, repairs, and renewal costs are expensed as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of depreciable property, the costs and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the related accounts, and any gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations and member’s deficit.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Tangible Assets

 

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may be impaired. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amounts over the fair values of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, management determined that the Company’s tangible assets were not impaired.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is organized as a limited liability company and is generally not subject to income taxes pertaining to operations; rather, the members of the limited liability company are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the accompanying financial statements. The Company makes distributions to its member to pay income tax liabilities.

 

Generally accepted accounting principles require tax effects from an uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. If an uncertain tax position meets the more-likely-than-not threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be recognized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority is recorded. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualified for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The Company is subject to routine audits by tax jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits in progress.

 

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

 

The Company primarily generates its revenues from selling and installing solar energy systems. Revenues are recognized when control of installed solar systems is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received by the Company in exchange for the installed solar system. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer

 

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract

 

Determination of the transaction price

 

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

 

Recognition of revenue when, or as, each performance obligation is satisfied

 

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct service or product to the client, and it is the unit of account in the guidance for revenue recognition. The Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation, which is to either a) install a solar energy system or b) orchestrate the sale of a solar energy system which will be installed by a third party. The promise to transfer the services is not separately identifiable from other promises in those contracts, and therefore, those other promises are not distinct performance obligations.

 

6

 

Installation Services

 

The Company’s principal performance obligation is to install a solar energy system. The Company recognizes revenue upon receiving notice of the completion of the final inspection of the respective solar energy system.

 

Revenue is recognized at the total contract price that the end residential customer has agreed to pay before any cost of financing incurred by the customer. The Company arranges financing for the customer with third-party financing companies. These third-party financing companies often withhold amounts to pay for solar panels and other materials for added security. The Company is the primary obligor in the transaction as it controls the price charged to end residential customers, bears the responsibility to install solar panels that meet regulatory requirements, and bears collection risk unless the customer is approved to finance the transaction with a third-party financing company.

 

HVAC and Roofing Services

 

The Company’s principal performance obligation is to complete the installation of the HVAC system or roof. The Company recognizes revenue upon the completion of the HVAC system or roof installation.

 

The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by revenue source (recognized at a point in time) for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

 

   2025   2024 
Installation services revenue  $59,438,442   $28,114,668 
HVAC revenue   990,177    - 
Roofing revenue   647,106    - 
   $61,075,725   $28,114,668 

 

Contract Balances

 

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled revenue (contract assets), and deferred revenue (contract liabilities) on the balance sheet. Amounts are billed as specific milestones are met, which may or may not align with when revenue is recognized. Specific billing milestones include: 1) 10% - 20% of the contract value is billed to the third-party lender upon contract signing; 2) an additional 70% of the contract value is billed to the third-party lender upon the solar system being installed; and 3) the final 10% - 20% of the contract value is billed to the third-party lender upon system receiving its permission to operate from the local jurisdiction. All revenue from solar system installations is recognized upon the system passing inspection by the local jurisdiction, which generally does not coincide with receiving a permission to operate and as a result the third payment for the final 10% - 20% from the lender is recorded as a contract asset – unbilled revenue until the permission to operate is received from the local jurisdiction.

 

The beginning and ending contract balances were as follows:

 

As of:  September 30,
2025
   December 31,
2024
 
   December 31,
2023
 
Accounts receivable  $1,293,174   $1,010,295   $155,801 
Unbilled receivables   5,715,605    4,601,890    3,916,562 
Deferred revenue   7,701,532    10,585,293    11,661,448 

 

Limited Warranty

 

The Company provides a limited warranty of workmanship on its installation products for a period of ten years beginning on the date of installation completion. This warranty is limited to defects in materials and workmanship caused during installation, and to roof penetrations caused in the installation will be watertight. The Company estimates its liability for warranty claims based historical claim patterns and known conditions at the time. To date, warranty claims have been nominal. Accordingly, there was no warranty accrual recorded as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Deferred Commissions

 

Costs Incurred to Acquire Customer Contracts

 

The Company recognizes an asset for incremental costs of obtaining a contract with the customer if management expects to recover these costs. Incremental costs are those that would not have been incurred if the contract had not existed. Examples of incremental costs often capitalized are sales commissions whereas examples of costs that would not be included are internal employee salaries, standard benefits, travel costs, and other / general legal costs. Sales commissions and related payroll taxes are the only incremental contract costs the Company incurs, which are paid out when installation is complete. As installations of customer solar systems are generally installed within 3 months resulting in the commissions being earned at that point-in-time, the Company applies the practical expedient under ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs: Contracts with Customers and expenses all incremental costs to acquire customers contracts upon installation of the solar system.

 

Deferred Contract Fulfillment Costs

 

Prior to the installation and final inspection of a customer solar system, the Company incurs costs for design, equipment, permits, and other similar costs. These contract fulfillment costs are contract specific, enhance the asset (solar system) that will eventually be transferred to the customer, and are expected to be recovered as part of the transaction price associated with the contract. As a result, the Company capitalizes these costs as they are incurred and expenses them once the solar system passes final inspection.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 totaled approximately $304,000 and $140,000, respectively.

 

Sales Tax

 

The Company collects sales and other taxes from certain customers and remits those taxes to governmental agencies. The Company reports the collection of these taxes on a net basis and such taxes are excluded from revenues.

 

Subsequent Events

 

Management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through January 12, 2026, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

 

3.Liquidity

 

In assessing the Company’s liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash and its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to support its operating and capital expenditure commitments. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had a working capital surplus of approximately $347,000 and stockholders’ deficit of approximately $8,229,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company had a net loss of approximately $1,197,000 and used cash in operating activities of approximately $1,186,000.

 

On November 11, 2025, the Company entered a non-binding letter of intent with SunPower, Inc. to be acquired for $37,500,000. The transaction closed on November 21, 2025, resulting in the Company becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of SunPower, Inc. The acquisition of the Company effectively merged the Company’s operations into SunPower, Inc., which provided the Company with any additional liquidity that may have been needed.
