Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

NOTE 6 OPERATING LEASES The Company manufactures and assembles its DC power systems at its two production facilities located in Gardena, California under two operating lease agreements that expire in 2026, requiring aggregate monthly payments of $ 125,000 . The balance of the right of use asset assets and lease obligations at December 31, 2024 was $ 1,645 and $ 1,856 , respectively. During 2025 the Company became delinquent in its rent payments to its landlords for its office and warehouse facilities. The landlord for its headquarters and manufacturing facility at 249 E. Gardena Blvd., Gardena, California filed a summons for eviction on October 24, 2025. On February 23, 2026, the landlord stopped the actions for eviction and continued discussions with the Company to resolve the delinquent rents and expired lease agreement. The Company expects to be in the position to make significant payment towards the delinquent rents in the near term and/or provide a payment plan mutually agreeable to both parties. The landlord for the other facility for which the Company is delinquent on rent, has not served the Company any legal documents or assessed late fees for the delinquent rent. However, they may do so in the future. The Company is also negotiating with this landlord on a payment plan for the delinquent rent. While the Company is negotiating with both landlords in good faith on payment plans, there is no guarantee that it and the landlords could reach an agreement on a payment plan

The amendments are effective for the Companys annual periods beginning January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively.
