CODA OCTOPUS GROUP, INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

July 31, 2023, and October 31, 2022

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Coda Octopus Group, Inc. (“Coda,” “the Company,” or “we”) operates two distinct operating business units. These are the Marine Technology Business (also referred to in this Form 10-Q as “Products Business,” or “Products Segment”) and the Marine Engineering Business (also referred to in this Form 10-Q as “Services Business,” “Engineering Business” or “Services Segment”). The Marine Technology Business sells and rents technology solutions to the subsea and underwater markets. These solutions are designed, developed, manufactured, and supported by the Company. Its main revenue generating product is its Echoscope® real time 3D imaging sonar series which includes its latest generation Echoscope PIPE® (Parallel Intelligent Processing Engine) which is the most advanced within its sonar series. In 2021, the Marine Technology Business launched a new diver management system (Diver Augmented Vision Display (“DAVD”)) for use in the global defense and commercial diving markets and which is a significant part of the Company’s growth plans. The requirements for the DAVD system emanated from the Office of Naval Research as part of its Future Naval Requirements Program. The DAVD embeds inside of the diver Head up Display (HUD) a pair of transparent glasses which is used as the data hub for displaying real time data to the diver. The concept of using a pair of transparent glasses as a data hub in the Head up Display (HUD) underwater is protected by patent and licensed to the Company by the United States Department of the Navy at Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division. The Marine Engineering Business is an established sub-contractor to prime defense contractors and generally supplies proprietary sub-assemblies for incorporation into broader mission critical defense systems. These sub-assemblies are typically supplied for the life of the program. The Marine Engineering Business’ scope of services for these defense programs typically extends to concept, design, prototype and manufacture. The manufacturing contracts for these sub-assemblies can run over many years.

 

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

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues including unbilled and deferred revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates related to the percentage of completion method used to account for contracts, including costs and earnings in excess of billings and billings in excess of costs, estimated earnings and the valuation of goodwill.

 

NOTE 2 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”).

 

Topic 606 has established a five-step process to determine the amount of revenue to record from contracts with customers. The five steps are:

 

  Identify the contract with the customer;
     
  Identify the performance obligations in the contract with customer;
     
  Determine the transaction price;
     
  Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations; and
     
  Recognize revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

July 31, 2023, and October 31, 2022

 

NOTE 2 – REVENUE RECOGNITION (Continued)

 

Our revenues are earned under formal contracts with our customers. These are derived from both sales and rental of underwater technologies and equipment for real time 3D imaging, mapping, defense and survey applications by the Marine Technology Business and from engineering services which the Company’s Services Business provide via sub-contracts primarily with prime defense contractors. Our contracts do not include the possibility for additional contingent consideration so that our determination of the contract price does not involve having to consider potential additional variable consideration. Our sales do not include a right of return by the customer.

 

Regarding our Marine Technology Business (“Products Business”), all our products are sold on a stand-alone basis and those market prices are evidence of the value of the products. To the extent that we also provide services (e.g., installation, training, post-sales technical support, customization of our technology for bespoke application, etc.), those services are either included as part of the product or are subject to written contracts based on the stand-alone value of those services. Revenue from the sale of services is recognized when those services have been performed and evidence of the provision of those services exists.

 

Revenue derived from either our subscription package offerings or rental of our equipment is recognized when performance obligations are met, in particular, on a daily basis during the subscription or rental period.

 

For arrangements with multiple performance obligations, we recognize product revenue by allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis and recognize revenue when performance obligations are met including when equipment is delivered, and for rental of equipment, when installation, training and other services prescribed by the contract are performed.

 

Our contracts sometimes require customer payments in advance of revenue recognition. These are recognized as revenue when the Company has fulfilled its obligations under the respective contracts. Until such time, we recognize these prepayments as deferred revenue.

 

For software license sales for which any services rendered are not considered distinct to the functionality of the software, we recognize revenue upon delivery of the software by the provision of the activation codes to the software.

 

With respect to revenues related to our Services Business, there are contracts in place that specify the fixed hourly rate and other reimbursable costs to be billed based on material and direct labor hours incurred and revenue is recognized on these contracts based on material and the direct labor hours incurred. Revenues from fixed-price contracts are recognized on the percentage of completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred (materials and direct labor hours) to date to estimated total services (materials and direct labor hours) for each contract. We consider the effects of inflation on both the costs incurred and on the total overall cost estimate in order to ensure that we do not prematurely recognize revenue. This method is used as we consider expenditures for direct materials and labor hours to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.

 

On a quarterly basis, we examine all our fixed-price contracts to determine if there are any losses to be recognized during the period. Any such loss is recorded in the quarter in which the loss first becomes apparent based upon costs incurred to date and the estimated costs to complete as determined by experience from similar contracts. Variations from estimated contract performance could result in adjustments to operating results.

 

Recoverability of Deferred Costs

 

In accordance with Topic 606, we defer costs on projects for service revenue. Deferred costs consist primarily of incremental direct costs to customize and install systems, as defined in individual customer contracts, including costs to acquire hardware and software from third parties and payroll costs for our employees and other third parties. The pricing of these service contracts is intended to provide for the recovery of these types of deferred costs over the life of the contract.

July 31, 2023, and October 31, 2022

 

NOTE 2 – REVENUE RECOGNITION (Continued)

 

We recognize such costs in accordance with our revenue recognition policy by contract. For revenue recognized under the percentage of completion method, costs are recognized as products are delivered or services are provided in accordance with the percentage of completion calculation. For revenue recognized over time, costs are recognized ratably over the term of the contract, commencing on the date of revenue recognition. At each quarterly balance sheet date, we review deferred costs, to ensure they are ultimately recoverable.

 

Any anticipated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized when evidence indicates the estimated total cost of a contract exceeds its estimated total revenue.

 

Other Revenue Disclosures

 

See Notes 14 and 15 – Segment Analysis and Disaggregation of Revenue of our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. These Notes provide disclosure of our revenue by segment (Products Business versus Services Business); revenues from external customers and cost of those revenues; and split of revenue by geography including within and outside the U.S.

 

NOTE 3 – COST OF REVENUES

 

Our Cost of Revenues includes the cost of materials and related direct costs. With respect to sales made through the Company’s sales agents distribution network, we include in our Costs of Revenues commissions paid to agents for the specific sales they make. All other sales-related expenses, including those related to unsuccessful bids, are included in selling, general and administrative costs. As a component of Cost of Revenues, commissions in the 3-month period ended July 31, 2023, were $120,724 compared to $33,001 for the 3-month period ended July 31, 2022. Commissions in the 9-month period ended July 31, 2023, were $728,552 compared to $434,005 for the 9-month period ended July 31, 2022. The commissions incurred in these periods relate mainly to the Marine Technology Business.

 

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. The carrying amounts of our financial instruments approximate fair values because of their short-term nature.

 

NOTE 5 – FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

 

Assets and liabilities are translated at the prevailing exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. Related revenues and expenses are translated at weighted average exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. Stockholders’ equity is recorded at historical exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component in stockholders’ equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income or (loss) as may be appropriate. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

The 2021 Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders at its Annual General Meeting held on September 14, 2021. The 2021 Plan is identical to the 2017 Plan in all material respects, except that the number of shares available for issuance thereunder is 1,000,000.

 

As of July 31, 2023, there were a total of 1,370,682 shares available for issuance under the 2017 Plan and 2021 Plan.

 

NOTE 14 – SEGMENT ANALYSIS

 

Based on the fundamental difference in the types of offering, products and solutions versus services, we operate two distinct reportable segments which are managed separately. Coda Octopus Products (“Marine Technology Business” or “Products Business” or “Products Segment”) operations are comprised primarily of sale and/or rental of underwater technology sonar solutions, comprising hardware and software and support services. Coda Octopus Martech and Coda Octopus Colmek (“Marine Engineering Business” or “Services Segment”) provide engineering services primarily as sub-contractors to prime defense contractors.

 

Segment operating income is total segment revenue reduced by operating expenses identifiable with the business segment. Corporate includes general corporate administrative costs (“Overhead”).

 

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based upon segment operating income. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of accounting policies.

 

There are inter-segment sales which have been eliminated in our financial statements but are disclosed in the tables below for information purposes.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

July 31, 2023, and October 31, 2022

 

NOTE 16 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company’s tax rate may vary according to several factors including the composition and percentage of its revenue from its foreign subsidiaries versus US subsidiaries.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended July 31, 2023, and 2022, was 3.6% and 13.4% respectively. We have been recording the US tax rate of 25% for the US companies within our Group. We have been recording the UK tax rate at 0.0% as we believe our R&D tax credits will offset any tax liability incurred. We have made a provision for tax for our Danish company at a rate of 22.0%.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended July 31, 2023, and 2022 was 0.6% and 9.6% respectively. We have been recording the US tax rate of 25% for the US companies. We have been recording the UK tax rate at 0.0% as we believe the UK subsidiaries R&D tax credits will offset any tax liability that they may incur. We have made a provision for tax for our Danish company at a rate of 22.0%.

This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. This discussion represents only our management’s best present assessment.

 

General Overview

 

Throughout these discussions, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

 

“Current Quarter” Three month period ended July 31, 2023
“Previous Quarter” Three month period ended July 31, 2022
“Current Nine Month Period” Nine month period ended July 31, 2023
“Previous Nine Month Period” Nine month period ended July 31, 2022

 

The Company operates two distinct businesses. These are:

 

  the Marine Technology Business (also referred to in this Form 10-Q as “Products Business”, or “Products Segment”); and
     
  the Marine Engineering Business (also referred to in this Form 10-Q as “Engineering Business”, or “Services Business” or “Services Segment”).

 

Our Marine Technology Business has operations in the USA, UK and Denmark. This business is an established technology solution provider to the subsea and underwater imaging, surveying and diving market. It has been operating as a supplier of solutions comprising both hardware and software products for over 25 years to this market and it owns key proprietary technology including real time volumetric 3D imaging sonar technology and cutting-edge diving technology, that are used in both the underwater defense and commercial markets. All design, development and manufacturing of our technology and solutions are performed within the Company. We sell our products and solutions globally and have a combination of direct sales and indirect sales (via our agents’ network). In Asia and Africa, we sell via agents, in the USA Europe and the Middle East we sell directly we sell directly. We also rent our products and solutions, particularly to tier-one offshore service providers, that prefer accounting for new offshore equipment as an operating expense rather than capital expense.

 

Our imaging sonar technology products and solutions marketed under the name of Echoscope® and Echoscope PIPE® are used primarily in the underwater construction market, offshore wind energy industry (offshore renewables), offshore oil and gas, forward looking obstacle avoidance, complex underwater mapping, salvage operations, dredging, bridge inspection, underwater hazard detection, port and harbor security, mining, mine counter measures, ship hull scanning, real time threat detection, fisheries, commercial and defense diving, and marine sciences sectors.

 

Our novel diving technology is distributed under the name “CodaOctopus® DAVD” (Diver Augmented Vision Display) to the global defense and commercial diving markets and is new to the market. The DAVD system which embeds a pair of transparent glasses in the Head up Display (HUD) is used as the data hub for displaying comprehensive real time data to the diver underwater. This also allows both the diver and the dive supervisor to visualize in real time the same underwater scene. We believe that the DAVD system has the potential to radically transform how diving operations are performed globally because it provides a fully integrated singular system for topside control and a fully connected HUD system for the diver allowing both the topside and diver to share a range of critical information including depth (pressure and temperature), compass and head tracking, real time dive timers and alerts, diver position and navigation, ultra-low light enhanced video system and enhanced digital voice communications. Limitations of current diving operations are that the diver only shares analog voice communications with the topside and there is no real time information including real time navigation, tracking and mapping of the dive area available to the diver. The topside must also manage several independent systems for video, communications, and positioning. The Company’s solution addresses these deficiencies. Another critical part of our solution is that by using the Company’s sonar technology, diving can be performed in zero visibility conditions, a common problem which besets these operations and can result in significant costs to the offshore service provider.

Although we generate most of our revenues from our real time 3D sonar which includes both proprietary hardware and software and the DAVD, we have a number of other products which we supply to the marine offshore market such as our inertial navigation systems (F280 Series®) and our geophysical hardware (DA4G) and software solutions (GeoSurvey which is widely used in the Oil & Gas sector and Survey Engine®, which include artificial intelligence based automatic detection systems). Our customers include offshore service providers to major oil and gas companies, renewable energy companies, underwater construction companies, law enforcement agencies, ports, mining companies, defense bodies, prime defense contractors, navies, research institutes and universities and diving companies. We also provide customization of services of our technology, particularly in the defense market and around our DAVD solutions where this is tailored for particular applications.

 

The Services Business has operations in the USA and UK. It is a trusted long-term Department of Defense (DoD) supplier. Its central business model consists of working with Prime Defense Contractors to design and manufacture sub-assemblies for utilization into larger defense mission critical integrated systems (“MCIS”). An example of such MCIS is the US Close-In-Weapons Support (CIWS) Program for the Phalanx radar-guided cannon used on combat ships. These proprietary sub-assemblies, once approved within the MCIS program, afford the Services Business the status of preferred supplier. Such status permits it to supply these sub-assemblies and upgrades in the event of obsolescence or advancement of technology for the life of the MCIS program. Customers include prime defense contractors such as Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Thales Underwater and BAE Systems. The scope of services provided by this business encompasses concept, design, prototype, manufacturing and post-sale support including maintenance and obsolescence management.

 

Key Pillars for our Growth Plans

 

Our volumetric real time imaging sonar technology and our DAVD are our most promising products for the Company’s near-term growth.

 

Our real time 3D/4D/5D/6D imaging sonars are the only underwater imaging sonars which are capable of providing complex seabed mapping, real time inspection and monitoring and providing 3D/4D/5D/6D data of moving underwater objects irrespective of water conditions including in zero visibility (which is a common and costly problem in underwater operations). Competing products such as the multibeam sonar can perform mapping (but not complex mapping) without the ability to perform real time inspection and monitoring of moving objects in 3D underwater. 3D information is important because it provides the complete detail of the underwater object being imaged (XYZ data), including the ability to make real time physical measurements. We also believe our Echoscope PIPE® is the only technology that can generate multiple real time 3D/4D/5D/6D acoustic images using different acoustic parameters such as frequency, field of view, pulse length, and filters.

 

In our industry we are widely considered the leading solution providers for underwater real time 3D visualization.

 

We also believe that the DAVD system is poised to radically change the way diving operations are performed globally by providing a fully integrated suite of sensor data shared in real time by the dive supervisor on the surface and the diver. Current diving is done largely by voice command missions from the topside using a disparate suite of systems for video data, communications and positioning.

 

We have recently completed successful field and operations trials of the DAVD and our 3D sonar system with a major European Offshore Service Provider, who is a part of the “Big Four” Dredging companies (together these four controls 80% of the global dredging capacity).

 

The major European Offshore Provider conclusion from their final trial assessment report provided to the Company is that:

 

“The advantage of the DAVD alone (compass, depth, taking snapshots and presenting graphical information for diver and supervisor) or combined with a 3D live sonar video stream is clear and increases safety and efficiency.  The 3D sonar fits well within our scope of work and our survey division is aware of this. We think that the combination of DAVD and 3D sonar has potential within our organization….”.

 

We are currently in discussions on the investment model for adopting the DAVD.

 

The DAVD tethered version is now in early-stage adoption by different teams within the US Navy, such as the underwater construction and salvage teams and has been moved from the customer’s R&D phase to their operational phase. Operational phase means that the DAVD tethered version is now a standard item available for purchase and for which budget lines are established within the various user commands within the Navy. To support the continued transfer of the DAVD system to field operations, we are involved in training of the users.

 

The DAVD untethered prototype variant, which is the biggest market opportunity in the USA addressing the defense, law-enforcement and first-responders markets, was delivered in to our Navy customer for evaluation during our first quarter. As part of their evaluation process, we expect the customer to purchase a small batch of evaluation systems for wider fleet evaluation. The customer and the Company are currently actively demonstrating the untethered version at various trade shows. We continue to make progress on this and have received joint-funding (US and another NATO Country) for further customization of this variant for their adoption. This is the first time we have had firm commitment concerning an adoption path by a foreign NATO country. Furthermore, the integration of our real-time 3D Echoscope® technology in both the tethered and untethered DAVD systems is seen as instrumental and an additional key driver for onward adoption. We also recently completed a customization project for a full survey-grade underwater platform incorporating our real-time 3D volumetric imaging sonars (Echoscope PIPE®) for the Navy. The DAVD was specifically requested for integration on this new survey platform for the initial ship hull scanning application. Integration of DAVD onto this platform provides alternative and additive displays for the diver, and critically a low light emittance near-eye display compared to traditional high brightness tablets and monitors.

 

The concept of utilizing a pair of transparent glasses in the Head Up Display (HUD) underwater for this purpose, is protected by patent. All component parts of the DAVD system are proprietary to the Company and include software (4G USE® DAVD Edition), Diver Processing Pack – telemetry system (DPP), Top Side Controller and real time 3D Sonar. The Company benefits from the exclusive license from the U.S. Department of the Navy at Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division to utilize the utility patent covering the concept of using the pair of transparent glasses as a data hub underwater. The DAVD tethered variant is an “Approved Navy Use” item. The untethered variant is currently going through validation process. This community of potential users requires the DAVD to be fully integrated with our real time 3D sonar, Echoscope®.

 

Both the Marine Technology Business and Engineering Business have established synergies in terms of customers and specialized engineering skill sets (hardware, firmware and software) encompassing capturing, computing, processing and displaying data in harsh environments. Both businesses jointly bid for projects for which their common joint skills provide competitive advantage and make them eligible for such projects.

 

Factors Affecting our Business in the Current Quarter

 

The following is a short description of some of the most critical and pressing factors that affect our business. For a more detailed discussion of these and additional factors, refer to our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022.

 

22

 

 

Cumulative Supply Chain Issues

 

We continue to experience shortage of key electronic components in the market and suppliers are still quoting lead times as long as 12 months out for routine components, including FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) and significant price increases. The unavailability of components affects our business in a number of ways, including:

 

  Our ability to progress ongoing projects including customer projects, particularly in the Engineering Segment.
  Significant increase in prices because demand exceeds supply for these components.
  Our ability to manufacture systems in our Marine Technology Business.
  Our ability to fully utilize our Production staff when critical parts are unavailable.
  Our ability to perform outstanding contractual obligations in the Engineering Business.

 

As a mitigation strategy we continue to invest in inventory both to protect against shortage and price increases.

 

Inflation

 

Inflation measured as the Consumer Price Index is significant in the countries in which we operate, although recently this is falling. For the 12-month period to July 2023, inflation rates were as follows:

 

  Denmark 3.1% - source: Statistics Denmark,
  UK 6.4% - source: Office of National Statistics; and
  USA 3.2% - source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

 

Inflation affects our business in several areas including increasing our cost of operations and our bill of material costs for the products we sell and therefore affects the attractiveness of our solutions for our customers and thus our overall financial results. It also puts the Company at a disadvantage in hiring in key areas, as potential candidates are seeking inflation-proof salaries. For further discussion on this, see below under “Inflation and Foreign Currency”.

 

Currency Fluctuations

 

The Company has operations in the USA, UK, Denmark, Australia and India. Our consolidated results include the Company’s foreign subsidiaries’ financial results which are translated from their functional currencies into USD our reporting currency. Revenue and expenses are translated using the weighted average exchange rates in effect during the reporting period and for assets and liabilities, the prevailing exchange rates at the balance sheet date. In the Current Quarter the USD weakened against major currencies including the British Pound, Euro, Danish Kroner and Indian Rupees (the functional currencies of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries). A significant part of our consolidated results is transacted in British Pounds and Danish Kroner and translated into USD for reporting purposes. In the Current Quarter for the purposes of reporting revenues and expenses, the value of the Pound and Euro (the Danish Kroner is pegged to the Euro) strengthened by 2.7% and 3.7% respectively, against the USD, when compared to the Previous Quarter. For reporting assets and liabilities, the Pound strengthened by 5.6% and the Danish Kroner by 7.8% when compared to the 2022 Fiscal Year End. Fluctuations in foreign currencies can affect our consolidated financial results including our reported revenue, profitability and our assets and liabilities valuation. The impact of currency fluctuations is discussed more fully below under the “Inflation and Foreign Currency” section. See also Note 5 (Foreign Currency Translation) to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Skills/Resource Shortages and Pressure on Salaries and Wages

 

We are experiencing skill shortages in areas that are critical to our growth strategy including experienced sales and marketing personnel, software developers and skilled electronic technicians. The inflationary conditions and shortage of skilled workers in the countries in which we operate (US, the UK, Denmark and India) make it difficult for us to compete for these skills as there is extreme pressure on wages. It was widely reported in the UK press recently that “annual average total pay growth for the private sector was 7.9% in April to June 2023, the largest annual total growth rate since comparable records began in 2001 [The Economist August 19th-25th 2023 Edition]”. Furthermore, as a small business we do not have resilience built into our workforce. As a result, there is a risk in the face of global skills shortages coupled with a higher demand for skills that we could lose skills that are essential for our business including the manufacture of our products or continuation of our engineering services.

 

Concentration of Business Opportunities Where the Sales Cycle is Long and Unpredictable

 

The Services Business revenues are highly concentrated and are largely generated from subcontracts with a small number of Prime Defense Contractors. The sales cycle is generally protracted, and this may affect quarterly revenues. It is also dependent on the federal government appropriating budget for defense projects and where the federal government is unable to find consensus in the US Congress, this affects the timely award of sub-contracts from Prime Defense Contractors to our Services Business, which is reliant on these awards. Furthermore, the Marine Technology Business key opportunities which are critical to its growth strategy are in the Defense Market for both its imaging sonars and the DAVD, both of which are key pillars of the Company’s growth strategy. Due to the protracted nature of the government procurement process and cycle for defense spending under federal and/or state budgets, the sales cycle can be long and unpredictable, thus affecting timing of orders and thus quarterly revenues and our overall growth plans.

 

Impact on Revenues and Earnings

 

We are uncertain as to the extent of the impact the factors disclosed above and in our Form 10-K, covering the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, will have on our future financial results.

 

23

 

 

Impact on Liquidity, Balance Sheet and Assets

 

The factors listed above may also adversely impact our availability of free cash flow, working capital and business prospects. As of July 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $24,890,568. Based on our outstanding obligations and our cash balances, we believe we have sufficient working capital to effectively continue our business operations for the foreseeable future.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported values of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported levels of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Below is a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical to an understanding of our financial condition and operating results and that may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters which are inherently uncertain. A discussion of our significant accounting policies, including further discussion of the accounting policies described below, can be found in Note 2, “Summary of Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Our revenues are earned under formal contracts with our customers and are derived from both sales and rental of underwater solutions for imaging, mapping, defense and survey applications and from the engineering services that we provide. Our contracts do not include the possibility for additional contingent consideration so that our determination of the contract price does not involve having to consider potential variable additional consideration. Our product sales do not include a right of return by the customer.

 

Regarding our Products Business, all our products are sold on a stand-alone basis and those market prices are evidence of the value of the products. To the extent that we also provide services (e.g., installation, training, etc.), those services are either included as part of the product or are subject to written contracts based on the stand-alone value of those services. Revenue from the sale of services is recognized when those services have been provided to the customer and evidence of the provision of those services exists.

 

For further discussion of our revenue recognition accounting policies, refer to Note 2 – “Revenue Recognition” in these unaudited consolidated financial statements and Note 2 “Summary of Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022.

 

Recoverability of Deferred Costs

 

We defer costs on projects for service revenue. Deferred costs consist primarily of direct and incremental costs to customize and install systems, as defined in individual customer contracts, including costs to acquire hardware and software from third parties and payroll costs for our employees and other third parties.

 

We recognize such costs on a contract-by-contract basis in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. For revenue recognized under the completed contract method, costs are deferred until the products are delivered, or upon completion of services or, where applicable, customer acceptance. For revenue recognized under the percentage of completion method, costs are recognized as products are delivered or services are provided in accordance with the percentage of completion calculation. For revenue recognized ratably over the term of the contract, costs are also recognized ratably over the term of the contract, commencing on the date of revenue recognition. At each balance sheet date, we review deferred costs, to ensure they are ultimately recoverable. Any anticipated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized when evidence indicates the estimated total cost of a contract exceeds its estimated total revenue.

 

24

 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). Under ASC 740, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the income tax effects of differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their bases for income tax reporting. The Company’s differences arise principally from the use of various accelerated and modified accelerated cost recovery system for income tax purposes versus straight line depreciation used for book purposes and from the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the amounts by which the Company’s future income taxes are expected to be impacted by these differences as they reverse. Deferred tax assets are based on differences that are expected to decrease future income taxes as they reverse. Correspondingly, deferred tax liabilities are based on differences that are expected to increase future income taxes as they reverse.

 

For income tax purposes, the Company uses the percentage of completion method of recognizing revenues on long-term contracts which is consistent with the Company’s financial reporting under GAAP.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist principally of the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired (or goodwill), customer relationships, non-compete agreements and licenses. Goodwill was allocated to our reporting units based on the original purchase price allocation. Goodwill is not amortized and is evaluated for impairment annually or more often if circumstances indicate impairment may exist. Customer relationships, non-compete agreements, patents and licenses are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of 2 to 15 years. The Company amortizes its finite-lived intangible assets using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit. Annually, or sooner if there is indication of a loss in value, we evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets and consider events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. There were no impairment charges during the periods presented.

 

The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its’ carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value, which is based on future cash flows, exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, goodwill is reduced by the excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit over that reporting unit’s fair value. Goodwill can never be reduced below zero, if any. At the end of each year, we evaluate goodwill on a separate reporting unit basis to assess recoverability, and impairments, if any, are recognized in earnings.

 

Consolidated Results of Operations

 

Our consolidated financial results include the results of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Foreign subsidiaries’ results are translated from their functional currencies to USD for reporting purposes. Currency fluctuations can therefore have an impact on our financial results, including our translated revenue and profitability. In the Current Quarter our consolidated revenue was $4,890,532 compared to $6,267,409 in the Previous Quarter, a fall of 22.0%. When applying the same exchange rate as the Previous Quarter (“referred to as “the Constant Rate”), our consolidated revenue would have been 0.4% or $18,633 lower than the reported $4,890,532 and therefore the movement in currency had a positive impact on our revenue in the Current Quarter. During the Current Quarter total operating expenses marginally fell by 1.4%. Income from operations fell by 57.4%. Net income before taxes fell by 47.3% and was $1,077,166 compared to $2,043,457. Further details concerning our financial results, including revenue during the Current Quarter is discussed immediately below.

Segment Summary

 

Marine Technology Business

 

In the Current Quarter, the Marine Technology Business generated $2,863,251 or 58.5% of our consolidated revenues compared to $4,004,557 or 63.9% in the Previous Quarter, representing a fall 28.5%. Gross Profit Margin was lower at 82.1% in the Current Quarter compared to 86.7% in the Previous Quarter, representing a fall of 4.6%. The fall in gross profit margin is largely attributed to the following combination of factors: agents commission in the Current Quarter increased by 265.8% to $120,724 compared to $33,001 in the Previous Quarter; and we also sold less units of rentals, software and customization services, all of which yield a higher gross profit margin. Total operating expenses increased in the Marine Technology Business by 7.7% and were $1,439,923 compared to $1,337,057 in the Previous Quarter. This is largely due to exchange rate variance (a non-cash item within SG&A). Income from operations in the Marine Technology Business was $911,237.

 

Within the business model of our Marine Technology Business, we have outright sales of our technology and rentals of equipment with associated services. Rentals requirements and usage mainly emanate from Europe and are largely used by Tier One Offshore Service Providers. Rentals and associated services are a significant part of our business model and growth strategy, since these Tier One Service Providers generally rent equipment as opposed to purchase. In addition, a significant part of these revenues comprises associated services which encompass our field engineers providing support in the mobilization of the equipment and providing training to users. In the Current Nine Month Period we have seen a sharp fall in our rental associated services revenues.

 

We believe the sharp fall in our rental and associated services revenues and lack of growth in this area is largely due to a slowdown in European development of offshore wind power generation, the delays in European operators entering the US renewables market and a decrease in construction work in general. The offshore renewable energy market is an important sector for our technology and success in this market is important for our growth. It is reported that the slowdown in Europe in the offshore renewable market is attributable to the factors below.

 

  1)

costs rising in excess of 40% compounded by higher interest rates against the backdrop of fixed price contracts which are no longer viable resulting in abandonment of a number of projects (example, Vattenfall recently abandoned a 1.4-gigawatt wind farm project in the UK which would have provided power for 1.5 million households [[source www.windeurope.org]. Similarly, Orsted (the world’s biggest developer of offshore wind) recently warned that several of its offshore wind projects are being hurt by suppliers’ delays which could lead to a write down of 2.3 billion relating to US Projects (Ocean Wind 1, Sunrise Wind and Revolution Wind) – source Bloomberg.

     
  2) It is reported that “the European Parliament is almost ready to enter negotiations with the Member States and the EU Commission (trialogues) on a revised final deal. The 27 EU Member States have not yet finalized and agreed their negotiating mandate on the EU electricity market design revision. It is expected they will reach agreement as well in Autumn for trialogues to begin. The EU electricity market design reform needs to be finalized by the end of 2023 as mandated by EU Heads of State and Government earlier this year” [source www.windeurope.org].
     
  3) In keeping with ourselves, major developers and suppliers of wind turbines and offshore power generation in Europe including Vattenfall, Orsted, Siemens and Vestas have all reported significant falls in revenues relating to wind farm installations. Reduction in these installations will result in lower demand for our Echoscope® cable monitoring and laying solution. The Echoscope® is widely used in Europe in these installations – as the sensor used for monitoring the cable in real time and providing visualization of the cable touch down point.

 

We have also seen a sharp fall in outright sales (as opposed to rentals) of equipment from the Asia-region. This is attributed to the slow pace of conversion of our proposals into orders from Asia. China is the biggest investor in offshore wind, and we have seen a slowdown in the pace of converting our price proposals to orders. The sharp fall in revenues from the construction sector reflects the slow pace of conversion of proposals into firm orders from Japan. Japan is a significant market for our technology for the underwater construction market where the Echoscope® tool is widely used for underwater construction activities (placements, monitoring and surveying). In the Previous Quarter we had sales of $1,435,637 from the Asia region as compared to $442,670 in the Current Quarter, representing a fall of 69.2%. Notwithstanding this significant fall in sales in the Asia Region we continue to grow our pipeline of opportunities in that region and do not believe this is systemic as we continue to increase the number of opportunities we are handling including providing price proposals. Accordingly, we believe that we have a good outlook for converting some of these into firm orders in the fourth quarter of our current fiscal year and our first quarter of 2024.

 

The breakdown of our Marine Technology Business sales by market application for our technology in the Current and Previous Quarter is set out below:

 

Application  Percentage of revenues in the Current Quarter  Percentage of revenues in the Previous Quarter
Renewable   15.0%   20.4%
Construction   10.0%   37.9%
*Defense   46.5%   40.4%
Oil & Gas   4.5%   1.3%
Mining   21.2%    

 

*Includes revenues attributable to our DAVD product also.

 

Services Business

 

In the Current Quarter, the Services Business generated $2,027,281 or 41.5% of our consolidated revenues compared to $2,262,852 or 36.1% in the Previous Quarter, representing a fall in sales of 10.4%. Gross Profit Margin was higher at 50.0% in the Current Quarter compared to 48.2% in the Previous Quarter, representing an increase of 1.8%. Total operating expenses fell in the Services Business by 17.0% and were $558,739 compared to $672,916 in the Previous Quarter. Income from operations was $455,325. Our Services Segment is comprised of the UK Operations and the US Operations. During the Current Nine Month Period, the UK Operations has experienced significant delays in securing orders from its UK customers. While we still expect to receive these orders, this delay has impacted significantly on the revenue from the UK Operations of our Services Business and has contributed to the overall fall in our consolidated financial results in the Current Quarter. We believe the reason for this delay is that some of our customers’ priorities have temporarily shifted to supporting requirements for Ukraine which are land-based solutions and are not, for example, mine hunting. We do not believe these opportunities have gone away but have, instead, been postponed.

Results of Operations for the Current Quarter compared to the Previous Quarter

 

Revenue: Total consolidated revenues for the Current Quarter and the Previous Quarter were $4,890,532 and $6,267,409 respectively, representing a decrease of 22.0%. Consolidated revenue in the Current Quarter has fallen sharply largely due to a fall in sales in the Marine Technology Business. As discussed above, both of our reporting segments have realized lower revenue in the Current Quarter. The fall in sales in the Marine Technology Business is due to slow down of project work in Europe (including offshore renewables) affecting our rental and associated services revenues and also sales in Asia one of our core markets (in the Previous Quarter our Marine Technology Business had sales of $1,435,637 from the Asia region as compared to $442,670 in the Current Quarter). Since the beginning of the current fiscal year the Services Business UK Operations has experienced delays in receiving anticipated orders from its customers and this has, in turn, affected revenue in the Current Quarter. This is largely because its customers’ have prioritized land-based applications to support the efforts in Ukraine and this has caused a delay in naval-related projects and requirements.

 

Gross Profit Margins: Margin percentage was weaker in the Current Quarter at 68.8% (gross profit of $3,365,224) compared to 72.8% (gross profit of $4,562,644) in the Previous Quarter. This is due to a combination of factors. These include: a lower percentage of our consolidated revenue is attributable to the Marine Technology Business which yields higher margins (in the Previous Quarter the Marine Technology Business generated 63.9% of our consolidated revenues compared to 58.5% in the Current Quarter); higher commission costs were incurred by this business on its sales in the Current Quarter coupled with lower units of software, rentals with associated services and customization services revenues within the mix of sales in the Current Quarter.

 

Gross profit margins reported in our financial results may vary according to several factors. These include:

 

  The percentage of consolidated sales that is attributable to the Marine Technology Business versus the Services Business. The gross profit margin yielded by the Marine Technology Business is generally higher than that of the Services Business.
  The percentage of consolidated sales which is attributable to the Services Business. The Services Business yields a lower gross profit margin on generated sales which are largely based on time and materials for our Department of Defense contracts (DoD subcontracts).
  The mix of sales within the Marine Technology Business during the reporting period:

 

  Outright Sales versus Rentals.
  Hardware Sales versus Software (software is generally higher margin).
  Mix of Services rendered in the period –offshore services (such as mobilization and training support versus paid customer research and development projects relating to customization of our technology for their application)).

 

  Level of commissions on products which may vary according to volume. Both the Services and Marine Technology Businesses work with sales/distribution agents. Most of the Marine Technology Business sales in Asia are via agents or distributors. See Note 3 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements “Cost of Revenues” for more discussion on this. Although the Services Business works with sales agents, this is on a much lesser scale than the Marine Technology Business.
  Level of Rental Assets in the Marine Technology Business’ Rental Pool and therefore the depreciation expenses may vary accordingly.
  The mix of engineering projects performed by our Services Business (Design prototyping versus manufacturing), may also affect Gross Profit Margins.

 

In the Current Quarter, gross profit margins for the Marine Technology Business were 82.1% compared to 86.7% in the Previous Quarter. For the Services Business these were 50.0% in the Current Quarter compared to 48.2% in the Previous Quarter.

Since there are more variable factors affecting gross profit margins in the Marine Technology Business, a table showing a summary of the make-up of sales generated by this business in the Current Quarter compared to the Previous Quarter is set out below:

 

Marine Technology (Products Business)  July 31, 2023   July 31, 2022   Percentage Change
Equipment Sales  $2,143,203   $2,928,019   Decrease of 26.8%
Equipment Rentals   303,525    380,984   Decrease of 20.3%
Software Sales   147,453    252,204   Decrease of 41.5%
Services   269,070    443,350   Decrease of 39.3%
              
Total Net Sales  $2,863,251   $4,004,557   Decrease of 28.5%

 

In the Current Quarter the Marine Technology Business incurred commission costs of $120,724 compared to $33,001 in the Previous Quarter, representing an increase of 265.8%. A significant percentage of the Marine Technology Business sales in foreign territories such as South Korea, Japan, China and South Africa are conducted through sales agents and distributors. Sales by this business in the USA, Europe and Middle East is generally direct.

 

Further information on the performance of each business segment in the Current Quarter compared to the Previous Quarter including revenues by type and geography can be found in Notes 14 and Note 15 (Segment Analysis and Disaggregation of Revenue, respectively) to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Research and Development (R&D): R&D expenditure in the Current Quarter was $568,287 compared to $577,953 in the Previous Quarter, representing a slight fall of 1.7%. This is in line with our strategy of focusing more of our resources on business development, marketing and global brand building efforts.

 

R&D expenditure is incurred by the Services Business on its Thermite® range of mission computers. This product line remains important to the Services Business for growth and diversification of revenue. We have received a small order for a small run of our new generation of Thermite® that we will be delivering throughout this financial year to a NATO member country.

 

R&D expenditure in the Marine Technology Business is incurred in connection with investments in developing and maintaining its products and solutions. These expenditures are an essential part of our business, as on an ongoing basis we need to continue to innovate around our solutions and remain competitive in the markets in which we operate.

 

Segment  July 31, 2023   July 31, 2022   Percentage Change
Services Segment R&D Expenditure  $11,027   $(27,904)  Infinite
Products Segment R&D Expenditure  $557,260   $605,857   Decrease of 8.0%

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A): SG&A expenses for the Current Quarter were marginally lower by 1.4% and were $1,934,323 in the Current Quarter compared to $1,960,978 in the Previous Quarter.

 

Notable within our key areas of SG&A expenditure is the increase in Legal and Professional expenditure. In the Previous Quarter our audit fees were subject to an adjustment by way of reduction of $125,000. In real terms therefore the increase in this category of expenses in the Current Quarter is $34,017 and is attributable to the Company’s recent engagement of tax specialists to assist in the preparation of the Company’s federal and state tax returns and an increase in our audit fees.

 

Furthermore, within the category of SG&A we have transactions which are cash charges and non-cash charges. The non-cash charges comprise depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation charges and exchange rate variance. In the Current Quarter non-cash items as a percentage of SG&A expenses was 17.2% compared to 19.3 %. In the Current Quarter stock-based compensation charges were $110,350 compared to $285,106 in the Previous Quarter. Exchange rate variance on transactions translation adjustment in the Current Quarter was $106,038 compared to ($37,693) in the Previous Quarter.

 

Key Areas of SG&A Expenditure across the Company for the Current Quarter compared to the Previous Quarter are:

 

Expenditure  July 31, 2023   July 31, 2022   Percentage Change
Wages and Salaries  $862,493   $983,029   Decrease of 12.3%
Legal and Professional Fees (including accounting and audit)  $359,285   $200,268   Increase of 79.4%
Rent for our various locations  $7,977   $15,389   Decrease of 48.2%
Marketing  $47,002   $58,684   Decrease of 19.9%

 

In the Current Quarter “Wages and Salaries” fell due to a reduction in staff head count in the Engineering Business and at the Group Management level (CFO position). As we hire new staff this line item is likely to increase on a full-year basis.

 

In general, the category of “Rent” is not material for the Company as we own most of our premises and facilities. The current category of rent largely reflects our premises in Copenhagen and storage facility.

 

In respect of “Legal and Professional Fees”, in the Previous Quarter we had an exceptional adjustment of $125,000 to our audit fees and therefore the figure for this category in the Previous Quarter without this reduction would have been $325,268 compared to $359,285 in the Current Quarter, representing a 10.5% increase in this category of expenses. The increase in this category reflects an increase in both audit and tax specialists’ fees.

 

Our marketing comprises a range of activities which include trade shows in different parts of the world, particularly in Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. Although marketing expenditure has fallen in the Current Quarter, we anticipate that on a full year basis this will increase over the previous financial year as we shift our focus from R&D to business development and marketing including undertaking efforts to build our brands. As part of our brand building efforts, we have recently established a Digitalization Team and we are currently recruiting for this team. We therefore anticipate a significant increase in this area of expenditure this year and subsequent years.

 

Operating Income: In the Current Quarter, Operating Income fell by 57.4% and was $862,614 as compared to $2,023,713 in the Previous Quarter. This is as a result of a material fall of 22.0% in our consolidated revenues for the reasons discussed earlier.

 

Other Income: In the Current Quarter, we had Other Income of $214,552 compared to $19,744, representing an increase of 986.7% from the Previous Quarter. In the Current Quarter $211,704 of this amount represents interest earned on our certified deposit accounts. In February 2023, we established certified deposit accounts with our existing bankers. These accounts are for fixed 3-month rolling periods and constitute “cash equivalents” in our current unaudited consolidated financial statements. We anticipate that the interest earned on these certified deposit accounts will be material in the future if interest rates continue to rise. See Note 17 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements where this is discussed further.

 

Net Income before income taxes: In the Current Quarter, we had income before income taxes of $1,077,166 as compared to $2,043,457 in the Previous Quarter, representing a fall of 47.3%. Net income before income taxes fell largely due to a significant fall in our consolidated revenues in the Current Quarter.

 

29

 

 

Net Income: In the Current Quarter we had Net Income of $1,038,780 compared to $1,768,657 in the Previous Quarter, representing a fall of 41.3%. We have recorded a Current Tax Expense of $68,771 in the Current Quarter and $326,732 in the Previous Quarter. We have also recorded Deferred Tax Benefit of $30,385 compared to $51,932 in the Previous Quarter. Our tax expenses depend on the composition of our consolidated income, and in particular the percentage that is attributable to the Company and its US subsidiaries together versus the percentage attributable to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. In the Current Quarter, the Company and its US subsidiaries had no taxable income. The Company’s UK and Danish subsidiaries had taxable income in their respective tax jurisdictions. The Company’s UK subsidiaries have carryforward losses and therefore no provision has been made for tax liability for the UK subsidiaries in the Current Quarter. The Danish subsidiary has no carryforwards or other tax relief in its tax jurisdiction and therefore we have recorded $15,554 for tax liability.

 

Comprehensive Income. In the Current Quarter Comprehensive income was $1,431,263 compared to $963,500 for the Previous Quarter reflecting adjustments resulting from foreign currency translations. This category is affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange transactions both relating to our profit and loss expenses and our assets and liabilities on our balance sheet and are largely paper losses or gains, as may be applicable in the reporting period. In the Previous Quarter we had a loss of $805,157 on foreign currency translation adjustment transactions compared to a gain of $392,483 in the Current Quarter. A significant part of the Company’s operations is based in the UK and Denmark, and therefore a major part of our assets and liabilities recorded in our consolidated balance sheet and profit and loss expenses are translated from the functional currencies of these subsidiaries into USD for reporting purposes, thus accounting for the changes. See Table 1 under the section of the MD&A which concerns “Inflation & Foreign Currency”, and which shows the impact of the currency adjustments on our Income Statement and Balance Sheet in the Current Quarter compared to the Previous Quarter.

 

Results of Operations for the Current Nine Month Period compared to the Previous Nine Month Period

 

Revenue: Total consolidated revenues for the Current Nine Month Period and the Previous Nine Month Period were $15,788,325 and $17,090,445 respectively, representing a fall of 7.6%. In the Current Nine Month Period, the Marine Technology Business revenues were $10,270,839 compared to $11,319,314, representing a 9.3% when compared to the Previous Nine Month Period. The Services Business revenues in the Current Nine Month Period and the Previous Nine Month Period were $5,517,486 and $5,771,141, representing a fall of 4.4%. The fall in our consolidated revenues in the Current Nine Month Period is caused by a significant fall in our Marine Technology Business revenue in the third quarter, as a result of a fall in sales from the Asia region and a fall in rentals and associated services. In the Previous Nine Month Period, sales from the Asia region totaled $4,477,178 and in the Current Nine Month Period sales from this region totaled $3,799,349. Additionally, the UK Operations of our Services Segment has over the Current Nine Month Period experienced significant delays in receiving anticipated orders from their customers and which were planned within their pipeline of opportunities. This is due to their customers’ priorities being land-based applications for support to Ukraine and which has caused delays in projects concerning naval requirements. Furthermore, when applying the Constant Rate (Previous Nine Month Period exchange rate) our Current Nine Month Period revenue has been impacted and is 1.8% or $291,264 lower due to exchange rate fluctuations.

 

Gross Profit Margins: Consolidated Margin percentage was lower in the Current Nine Month Period at 68.0% (gross profit of $10,741,470) compared to 68.8% (gross profit of $11,754,284). The main factors which have resulted in the lower margins are:(i) a lower percentage of our consolidated revenue is attributable to the Marine Technology Business which generally yields a higher gross profit margins (in the Previous Nine Month Period the Marine Technology Business generated 66.2% of our consolidated revenues compared to 65.1% in the Current Nine Month Period); and (ii) increased commission costs were incurred by this business on its sales in the Current Nine Month Period; and (iii) the mix of sales generated by this business - more units of hardware sales were sold in the period (which yield lower gross profit margins) combined with lower units of rentals and customization services being sold in the Current Nine Month Period.

 

Gross profit margins reported in our financial results may vary according to several factors. These include:

 

  The percentage of consolidated sales that is attributable to the Marine Technology Business versus the Services Business. The gross profit margin yielded by the Marine Technology Business is generally higher than that of the Services Business.
  The percentage of consolidated sales which is attributable to the Services Business. The Services Business yields a lower gross profit margin on generated sales which are largely based on time and materials for our Department of Defense contracts (DoD subcontracts).
  The mix of sales within the Marine Technology Business during the reporting period:

 

  Outright Sales versus Rentals.
  Hardware Sales versus Software (software is generally higher margin).
  Mix of Services rendered in the period – offshore services (such as mobilization and training support versus paid customer research and development projects relating to customization of our technology for their application).

 

  Level of commissions on products which may vary according to volume. Both the Services and Marine Technology Businesses work with sales/distribution agents. Most of the Marine Technology Business sales in Asia is conducted via agents or distributors. See Note 3 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements “Cost of Revenue” for more discussion on this.
  Level of Rental Assets in the Marine Technology Business’ Rental Pool and therefore the depreciation expenses may vary accordingly.
  The mix of engineering projects performed by our Services Business (Design prototyping versus manufacturing), may also affect Gross Profit Margins.

In the Current Nine Month Period gross profit margins for the Marine Technology Business were 76.0% compared to 83.0% in the Previous Nine Month Period. For the Services Business these were 53.1% compared to 40.8% in the Previous Nine Month Period. In the Current Nine Month Period, margins weakened in the Marine Technology Business largely because of the composition of our sales in the Current Nine Month Period (more units of hardware sales and less rentals and customization services) along with the higher commission costs on sales incurred in the period. Commission costs for the Current Nine Month Period were $728,552 compared to $434,005 in the Previous Nine Month Period, representing a 67.9% increase. A significant percentage of our sales in foreign territories such as South Korea, Japan, China and South Africa are conducted through our sales agents and distributors. Moreover, in the Current Nine Month Period, the Marine Technology Business had more units of hardware sale ($7,215,919 compared to $6,945,001), a 3.9% increase. In general, gross profit margins are lower on our units of hardware sale than software, rentals with associated services and technology customization services. In addition, the Services Business gross profit margins strengthened in the Current Nine Month Period. This is attributable to the fact that in the Previous Nine Month Period its margins were exceptionally low because a high percentage of its revenues in that period related to a specific project which carried a much lower than typical Gross Profit Margin.

 

Services Business

 

Gross Profit Margins for the Services Business were higher at 53.1% in the Current Nine Month Period compared to 40.8% in the Previous Nine Month Period. The wide swing in Gross Profit Margins in the Services Business in the Current Nine Month Period is explained on the basis that in the Previous Nine Month Period 24.8% of its revenues ($1,431,414) was attributable to an engineering project which carried a much lower than typical Gross Profit Margin. This project has afforded the Company an opportunity to serve a new market sector (motor racing) with a prestigious customer which we believe will open other opportunities with this customer and in this sector.

 

Marine Technology Business

 

Gross profit margins for the Marine Technology Business were lower in the Current Nine Month Period at 76.0% compared to 83.0% in the Previous Nine Month Period. The factors impacting on gross profit margins in the Current Nine Month Period are: higher units of hardware sales (which attract less margin) combined with lower units of rentals and customization services sales in the period; and higher commission costs ($690,260 compared to $434,005). Since there are more variable factors affecting gross profit margins in the Marine Technology Business, a table showing a summary of the make-up of sales generated by this business in the Current Nine Month Period compared to the Previous Nine Month Period is set out below:

 

Marine Technology Business  July 31, 2023   July 31, 2022   Percentage Change
Equipment Sales  $7,215,919   $6,945,001   Increase of 3.9%
Equipment Rentals   1,088,855    1,726,760   Decrease of 36.9%
Software Sales   784,046    691,422   Increase of 13.4%
Services   1,182,019    1,956,131   Decrease of 39.6%
Total Net Sales  $10,270,839   $11,319,314   Decrease of 9.3%

 

Further information on the performance of each Segment including revenues by product and geography can be found in Notes 14 and 15 (Segment Analysis and Disaggregation of Revenue) to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Research and Development (R&D): R&D expenditures in the Current Nine Month Period were $1,538,684 compared to the $1,768,221 in the Previous Nine Month Period, representing a decrease of 13.0%. This is in line with our strategy of changing our focus to marketing, business development and global brand building.

 

  Services Business

 

During the Current Nine Month Period, the Services Business R&D expenditure modestly increased by $8,968 or 56.9%. R&D expenditure is incurred by the Services Business on its Thermite® range of mission computers. This product line remains important to the Services Business for growth and diversification of revenue. We are now re-engaging our customers who had the Thermite® on trial and as we understand our customer base requirements better, we may incur more expenditure on developing this range of products. We have received a small order for a small run of our new generation of Thermite® that we will be delivering throughout this financial year to a NATO member country.

 

  Marine Technology Business

 

During the Current Nine Month Period R&D expenditure in the Marine Technology Business decreased by 13.6% from $1,752,478 in the Previous Nine Month Period to $1,513,973. R&D expenditure is incurred by this business in connection with investments in developing its products and solutions. These expenditures are an essential part of our business, as on an ongoing basis we need to continue to innovate around our solutions. In prior periods, we incurred significant expenditures developing the new generation of Echoscope PIPE® technology, our new F280 Series® and our Diver Augmented Vision Display (DAVD) system. These high expenditure projects are now completed and although we necessarily continue to incur R&D expenditures, we anticipate these will be less capital intensive going forward.

 

Segment  July 31, 2023   July 31, 2022   Percentage Change
Services Segment R&D Expenditures  $24,711   $15,743   Increase of 56.9%
Products Segment R&D Expenditures  $1,513,973   $1,752,478   Decrease of 13.6%

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A): SG&A expenses for the Current Nine Month Period increased to $6,138,968 from $6,116,085 in the Previous Nine Month Period, representing an increase of 0.4%.

 

There has been a modest increase in SG&A expenditures in the Current Nine Month Period. Notwithstanding, the recorded $6,138,968 in the Current Nine Month Period is below our internal budget for this fiscal year. This is due to a number of factors including challenges in recruiting in key areas of our business or to replace staff in the Engineering Business due to global skills shortage in the areas in which we are recruiting (business development, marketing, electronic engineers and software engineers).

 

SG&A includes transactions which are cash charges and non-cash charges. The non-cash charges comprise depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation charges and exchange rate variance. In the Current Nine Month Period non-cash items as a percentage of SGA was 19.0% compared to 18.6% in the Previous Nine Month Period. In the Current Nine Month Period there was notably a significant reduction in Stock based compensation charges which were $488,764 in the Current Nine Month Period compared to $975,849. Exchange rate variance on transactions translation adjustment in the Current Nine Month Period was $341,317 compared to ($247,814) in the Previous Nine Month Period.

 

Key Areas of SG&A Expenditure across the Group for the Current Quarter compared to the Previous Quarter are:

 

Expenditure  July 31, 2023   July 31, 2022   Percentage Change
Wages and Salaries  $2,617,304   $2,826,651   Decrease of 7.4%
Legal and Professional Fees (including accounting and audit)  $1,232,157   $949,504   Increase of 29.8%
Rent for our various locations  $34,952   $45,876   Decrease of 23.8%
Marketing  $149,262   $210,057   Decrease of 28.9%

 

Wages and salaries in the Current Nine Month Period are lower than in the Previous Nine Month Period. However, on a full-year basis we expect this category of expenditure to increase over the prior financial year as we currently have a reduced staff head count including in the area of a management position, CFO. In addition, we anticipate that wages and salaries will increase because of pressure on wages and salaries, and we currently have several key positions which we are seeking to fill.

 

The increase in the “Legal and Professional” category of expenditures in the Current Nine Month Period reflects an increase in the costs of our accounting and audit services fees and additional costs of tax specialists engaged. The Previous Nine Month Period Legal and Professional expenses of $949,504 reflect an exceptional adjustment by way of reduction of audit fees by $125,000. In real terms therefore the fees attributable to this category in the prior period is $1,074,504 compared to $1,232,157 in the Current Nine Month Period, representing an increase of 14.67%.

 

In general, the category “Rent” is not material for the Company as it owns substantially all of its premises and facilities. The current category of rent largely reflects our premises in Copenhagen and a storage facility that we maintain for our business operations.

 

Our marketing comprises a range of activities which include trade shows in different parts of the world, particularly in Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. Although in the Current Nine Month Period these costs are lower than the Previous Nine Month Period, we expect on a full year basis these costs will be higher than the previous financial year as we pivot our activities from research and development to marketing and business development. Business development, marketing and global brand building are key areas within our business strategy. As part of our brand building efforts, we have recently established a Digitalization Team and we are currently recruiting for this team.

 

Operating Income: Our income from our operating activities in the Current Nine Month Period was $3,063,818 as compared to $3,869,978 in the Previous Nine Month Period which represents a fall of 20.8%. This is due to a fall in our consolidated revenues in the Current Nine Month Period due to the reasons explained above. In the third quarter of our current fiscal year, we experienced a significant reduction in revenue (22.0% less than the previous third quarter).

 

Other Income: In the Current Nine Month Period, this increased by 253.4% and was $403,693 as compared to $114,236 in the Previous Nine Month Period. In the Current Nine Month Period $395,161 is attributable to interest earned on our 3-month rolling certified deposit accounts. See Note 17 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

 

Net Income before income taxes: In the Current Nine Month Period, we had a net income before income taxes of $3,467,511 as compared to $3,981,312 in the Previous Nine Month Period, representing a fall of 12.9%. This is largely due to a fall in our consolidated revenue for the reasons explained earlier.

 

32

 

 

Net Income: In the Current Nine Month Period we had Net Income of $3,445,114 compared to $3,597,208 in the Previous Nine Month Period, representing a fall of 4.2%. We have recorded current tax expense of $137,555 in the Current Nine Month Period and $503,191 in the Previous Nine Month Period. We also recorded Deferred Tax Benefit in the Current Nine Month of $115,158 compared to $119,087 in the Previous Nine Month Period. Our tax expenses depend on the composition of our consolidated income, and in particular the percentage attributable to the Company and its US subsidiaries together versus the percentage attributable to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. In the Current Nine Month Period the Company and its US subsidiaries had no taxable income. The Company’s UK and Danish subsidiaries had taxable income in their respective tax jurisdictions. The Company’s UK subsidiaries have carryforward losses and therefore no provision has been made for tax liability for this entity in our consolidated results for the Current Nine Month Period, whereas the Danish subsidiary has no carryforwards or other tax relief in its jurisdiction and therefore we have made a tax provision for this entity at 22% tax rate.

 

Comprehensive Income (loss). In the Current Nine Month Period Comprehensive Income was $5,983,620 compared to $766,450 for the Previous Nine Month Period reflecting significant adjustments resulting from foreign currency translations. This category is affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange transactions both relating to our profit and loss expenses and our assets and liabilities on our balance sheet and are largely paper losses or gains, as may be applicable in the reporting period. In the Previous Nine Month Period we had a loss of ($2,830,758) on foreign currency translation adjustment transactions compared to a significant gain in the Current Nine Month Period on these transactions of $2,538,506. In the Current Nine Month Period, the USD has weakened against most major currencies including the British Pound, Euro, Danish Kroner and Indian Rupees (the functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries). A substantial part of these losses/gains are paper losses/gains associated with re-valuation of our foreign subsidiaries’ balance sheet. A significant part of the Company’s operations is based in the UK and Denmark, and therefore a significant part of our financial transactions is performed in Pounds and Danish Kroner (which is pegged to the Euro) which are translated into USD for reporting purposes. See Table 2 under the MD&A section which concerns “Inflation & Foreign Currency”, and which shows the impact of the currency adjustments on our Income Statement and Balance Sheet in the Current Nine Month Period compared to the Previous Nine Month Period.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of July 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $10,731,522, working capital of $39,738,904, cash and cash equivalents of $24,890,568 and stockholders’ equity of $49,837,229. For the Nine Months ended July 31, 2023, the Company’s operating activities provided cash of $1,384,898.

 

The Company entered into a $4,000,000 revolving line of credit with HSBC NA on November 27, 2019, at prime. The outstanding balance on the line of credit was $0 as of July 31, 2023. This revolving credit line will expire on November 26, 2023, unless renewed.

Inflation and Foreign Currency

 

The Company and its subsidiaries maintain their accounts in the native currencies of their operations and which are:

 

US Dollars  For US Operations
British Pound  For United Kingdom Operations
Danish Kroner  For Danish Operations
Australian Dollars  For Australian Operations
Indian Rupees  For Indian Operations

 

The Company’s financial results are therefore translated from these functional currencies into USD, its reporting currency. See Note 5 (Foreign Currency Translation) of our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the applicable rates used for our Balance Sheet transactions and Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income.

 

The Company’s consolidated results are a combination of its US operations and foreign operations and these companies maintain their accounts in the functional currencies of their jurisdictions which are noted above. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates can directly impact the Company’s sales, profitability and financial position when the functional currencies of its wholly owned foreign subsidiaries are translated into USD for financial reporting. In addition, the Company is also subject to currency fluctuation risk with respect to certain foreign currency denominated receivables and payables incurred in the ordinary course of its business operations (cross-border transactions such as inventory purchasing). In general, the Company’s subsidiaries perform financial transactions in their native currencies. Exceptionally, a subsidiary may perform financial transactions in currencies other than its native or functional currency (purchasing inventory, for example, in foreign currency). Furthermore, the Company holds significant cash balances in foreign currencies, such as British Pound, Euro and Danish Kroner. The Company cannot predict the extent to which currency fluctuations may affect its business and financial position, and there is a risk that such fluctuations will have an adverse impact on the Company’s sales, profits and financial position.

 

Applying the Constant Rate (as the term is defined immediately below), the impact of currency fluctuations on the three months ended July 31, 2023 and the nine months ended July 31, 2023, is shown in Tables 1 & 2, respectively, below.

 

For Revenue and Expenses (Income Statement Transactions) for the Three Month and Nine Month Period, the Constant Rate means:  

The “prevailing weighted average” exchange rate in the current three-month period compared to the “prevailing weighted average” exchange rate in the three month period for the Previous Quarter.

 

The “prevailing weighted average” exchange rate in the current nine month period compared to the “prevailing weighted average” exchange rate in the previous nine month period.

 

For Balance Sheet Transactions

Constant Rate means:

  The prevailing exchange rate as of October 31, 2022 when compared to prevailing exchange rate as of July 31,2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the then Chief Financial (and principal accounting) Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of October 31, 2022 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation the Chief Executive Officer and then Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of the existence of the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting described in Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022.

 

In the Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2022, we disclosed that we identified material weaknesses concerning a lack of adequate processes and procedures regarding the identification and review of elimination of relevant intercompany entries in the consolidation of our financial reporting, thus representing a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Management and the Company’s Board of Directors are committed to improving the Company’s overall system of internal controls over financial reporting. Consequently, the Company implemented a comprehensive remediation plan in the first quarter of 2023 to address the identified material weakness which included:

 

ØManagement identified the root cause for the elimination errors.
ØManagement introduced a new control which extended to identification of all intercompany transactions by using designated codes in the financial system designed to identify and assess the nature of the intercompany transactions and their impact on the consolidation elimination process.
ØManagement designed and implemented a standalone “Elimination Workbook” designed to identify all intercompany transactions in all entities, their nature and as such their accounting treatment. This standalone workbook is then used as a cross-verification tool when the Consolidation of the entities is performed within the independent Consolidation Financial System.
ØThis is further supported by an Error Log designed to record errors and omissions during all financial closing procedures. The error log is used as part of our testing of the effectiveness of our controls and is used by senior management as part of its review process. The log also records all corrective actions taken if required.
ØThese controls were reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee.

 

In the three quarters ended January 31, 2023, April 30, 2023 and July 31, 2023, management and the Audit Committee monitored the effectiveness of the aforementioned controls during the closing procedures since reporting on our Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2022 and have concluded that they are effective to address the material weaknesses identified in our Form 10-K covering our Annual Report for the year ended October 31, 2022 and the subsequent three quarters ended January, April and July 2023.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Controls.

 

For the fiscal year beginning 1 November, 2022, management has designed additional controls to remediate the previous material weaknesses in Item 9A on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022 and in Item 4 on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended January 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023. Given the remediation efforts noted above, testing of applicable controls was completed during the three quarters ending January, April and our findings in the current quarter ended July 31, 2023, and the determination that the controls are designed and operating effectively, management has concluded that the material weakness in Item 9A on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022 has been remediated as of July 31, 2023.

ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Coda Octopus Group, Inc. (“Coda,” “the Company,” or “we”) operates two distinct operating business units. These are the Marine Technology Business (also referred to in this Form 10-Q as “Products Business,” or “Products Segment”) and the Marine Engineering Business (also referred to in this Form 10-Q as “Services Business,” “Engineering Business” or “Services Segment”). The Marine Technology Business sells and rents technology solutions to the subsea and underwater markets. These solutions are designed, developed, manufactured, and supported by the Company. Its main revenue generating product is its Echoscope® real time 3D imaging sonar series which includes its latest generation Echoscope PIPE® (Parallel Intelligent Processing Engine) which is the most advanced within its sonar series. In 2021, the Marine Technology Business launched a new diver management system (Diver Augmented Vision Display (“DAVD”)) for use in the global defense and commercial diving markets and which is a significant part of the Company’s growth plans. The requirements for the DAVD system emanated from the Office of Naval Research as part of its Future Naval Requirements Program. The DAVD embeds inside of the diver Head up Display (HUD) a pair of transparent glasses which is used as the data hub for displaying real time data to the diver. The concept of using a pair of transparent glasses as a data hub in the Head up Display (HUD) underwater is protected by patent and licensed to the Company by the United States Department of the Navy at Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division. The Marine Engineering Business is an established sub-contractor to prime defense contractors and generally supplies proprietary sub-assemblies for incorporation into broader mission critical defense systems. These sub-assemblies are typically supplied for the life of the program. The Marine Engineering Business’ scope of services for these defense programs typically extends to concept, design, prototype and manufacture. The manufacturing contracts for these sub-assemblies can run over many years.

 

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

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues including unbilled and deferred revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates related to the percentage of completion method used to account for contracts, including costs and earnings in excess of billings and billings in excess of costs, estimated earnings and the valuation of goodwill.

Revenue Recognition  
REVENUE RECOGNITION

NOTE 2 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”).

 

Topic 606 has established a five-step process to determine the amount of revenue to record from contracts with customers. The five steps are:

 

  Identify the contract with the customer;
     
  Identify the performance obligations in the contract with customer;
     
  Determine the transaction price;
     
  Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations; and
     
  Recognize revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied.

 

 

CODA OCTOPUS GROUP, INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

July 31, 2023, and October 31, 2022

 

NOTE 2 – REVENUE RECOGNITION (Continued)

 

Our revenues are earned under formal contracts with our customers. These are derived from both sales and rental of underwater technologies and equipment for real time 3D imaging, mapping, defense and survey applications by the Marine Technology Business and from engineering services which the Company’s Services Business provide via sub-contracts primarily with prime defense contractors. Our contracts do not include the possibility for additional contingent consideration so that our determination of the contract price does not involve having to consider potential additional variable consideration. Our sales do not include a right of return by the customer.

 

Regarding our Marine Technology Business (“Products Business”), all our products are sold on a stand-alone basis and those market prices are evidence of the value of the products. To the extent that we also provide services (e.g., installation, training, post-sales technical support, customization of our technology for bespoke application, etc.), those services are either included as part of the product or are subject to written contracts based on the stand-alone value of those services. Revenue from the sale of services is recognized when those services have been performed and evidence of the provision of those services exists.

 

Revenue derived from either our subscription package offerings or rental of our equipment is recognized when performance obligations are met, in particular, on a daily basis during the subscription or rental period.

 

For arrangements with multiple performance obligations, we recognize product revenue by allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis and recognize revenue when performance obligations are met including when equipment is delivered, and for rental of equipment, when installation, training and other services prescribed by the contract are performed.

 

Our contracts sometimes require customer payments in advance of revenue recognition. These are recognized as revenue when the Company has fulfilled its obligations under the respective contracts. Until such time, we recognize these prepayments as deferred revenue.

 

For software license sales for which any services rendered are not considered distinct to the functionality of the software, we recognize revenue upon delivery of the software by the provision of the activation codes to the software.

 

With respect to revenues related to our Services Business, there are contracts in place that specify the fixed hourly rate and other reimbursable costs to be billed based on material and direct labor hours incurred and revenue is recognized on these contracts based on material and the direct labor hours incurred. Revenues from fixed-price contracts are recognized on the percentage of completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred (materials and direct labor hours) to date to estimated total services (materials and direct labor hours) for each contract. We consider the effects of inflation on both the costs incurred and on the total overall cost estimate in order to ensure that we do not prematurely recognize revenue. This method is used as we consider expenditures for direct materials and labor hours to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.

 

On a quarterly basis, we examine all our fixed-price contracts to determine if there are any losses to be recognized during the period. Any such loss is recorded in the quarter in which the loss first becomes apparent based upon costs incurred to date and the estimated costs to complete as determined by experience from similar contracts. Variations from estimated contract performance could result in adjustments to operating results.

 

Recoverability of Deferred Costs

 

In accordance with Topic 606, we defer costs on projects for service revenue. Deferred costs consist primarily of incremental direct costs to customize and install systems, as defined in individual customer contracts, including costs to acquire hardware and software from third parties and payroll costs for our employees and other third parties. The pricing of these service contracts is intended to provide for the recovery of these types of deferred costs over the life of the contract.

 

 

CODA OCTOPUS GROUP, INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

July 31, 2023, and October 31, 2022

 

NOTE 2 – REVENUE RECOGNITION (Continued)

 

We recognize such costs in accordance with our revenue recognition policy by contract. For revenue recognized under the percentage of completion method, costs are recognized as products are delivered or services are provided in accordance with the percentage of completion calculation. For revenue recognized over time, costs are recognized ratably over the term of the contract, commencing on the date of revenue recognition. At each quarterly balance sheet date, we review deferred costs, to ensure they are ultimately recoverable.

 

Any anticipated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized when evidence indicates the estimated total cost of a contract exceeds its estimated total revenue.

2017 Stock Incentive Plan

 

On December 6, 2017, the Board of Directors adopted the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its stockholders by enabling the Company and its subsidiaries to attract and retain qualified individuals through opportunities for equity participation in the Company, and to reward those individuals who contribute to the Company’s achievement of its economic objectives. The Plan was adopted subject to stockholders’ approval and was approved by Stockholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting held on July 24, 2018.

 

The maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2017 Plan is 913,612 shares. The shares available for issuance under the 2017 Plan may, at the election of the Compensation Committee, be either treasury shares or shares authorized but unissued, and, if treasury shares are used, all references in the 2017 Plan to the issuance of shares will, for corporate law purposes, be deemed to mean the transfer of shares from treasury.

 

During the nine month period ended July 31, 2023, the following transactions were completed under the 2017 Plan:

 

Restricted Stock Awards  The Company granted 54,046 restricted stock awards to eligible individuals.
Options  146,168 options vested in accordance with the agreed vesting schedule.
Options Exercised  199,496 options were exercised on a cashless basis resulting in the Company issuing 92,275 shares.

Options Forfeited  3,000 options were forfeited under the terms of the award.
Restricted Stock Awards Forfeited  11,506 restricted stock awards were forfeited under the terms of the award.

 

As of July 31, 2023, there were 370,682 shares available for issuance under the 2017 Plan.

 

The total stock compensation expense during the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was $488,764.

 

During the nine month period ended July 31, 2022, the following transactions were completed under the 2017 Plan:

 

Restricted Stock Awards  The Company granted 64,887 restricted stock awards to eligible individuals.

The total stock compensation expense during the nine-months ended July 31, 2022 was $975,847

 

2021 Stock Incentive Plan

 

On July 12, 2021, the Board of Directors adopted the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders at its Annual General Meeting held on September 14, 2021. The 2021 Plan is identical to the 2017 Plan in all material respects, except that the number of shares available for issuance thereunder is 1,000,000.

 

As of July 31, 2023, there were a total of 1,370,682 shares available for issuance under the 2017 Plan and 2021 Plan.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT ANALYSIS

NOTE 14 – SEGMENT ANALYSIS

 

Based on the fundamental difference in the types of offering, products and solutions versus services, we operate two distinct reportable segments which are managed separately. Coda Octopus Products (“Marine Technology Business” or “Products Business” or “Products Segment”) operations are comprised primarily of sale and/or rental of underwater technology sonar solutions, comprising hardware and software and support services. Coda Octopus Martech and Coda Octopus Colmek (“Marine Engineering Business” or “Services Segment”) provide engineering services primarily as sub-contractors to prime defense contractors.

 

Segment operating income is total segment revenue reduced by operating expenses identifiable with the business segment. Corporate includes general corporate administrative costs (“Overhead”).

 

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based upon segment operating income. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of accounting policies.

 

There are inter-segment sales which have been eliminated in our financial statements but are disclosed in the tables below for information purposes.

INCOME TAXES

NOTE 16 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company’s tax rate may vary according to several factors including the composition and percentage of its revenue from its foreign subsidiaries versus US subsidiaries.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended July 31, 2023, and 2022, was 3.6% and 13.4% respectively. We have been recording the US tax rate of 25% for the US companies within our Group. We have been recording the UK tax rate at 0.0% as we believe our R&D tax credits will offset any tax liability incurred. We have made a provision for tax for our Danish company at a rate of 22.0%.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended July 31, 2023, and 2022 was 0.6% and 9.6% respectively. We have been recording the US tax rate of 25% for the US companies. We have been recording the UK tax rate at 0.0% as we believe the UK subsidiaries R&D tax credits will offset any tax liability that they may incur. We have made a provision for tax for our Danish company at a rate of 22.0%.
