Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Tecogen Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “we,” “our,” or “us,” or “Tecogen”) designs, manufactures, markets, and maintains high efficiency, ultra-clean cogeneration products. These include natural gas engine driven combined heat and power (CHP) systems, chillers and heat pumps for multi-family residential, commercial, recreational and industrial use. We are known for products that provide customers with substantial energy savings, resiliency from utility power outages and for significantly reducing a customer’s carbon footprint. Our products are sold with our patented Ultera® emissions technology which nearly eliminates all criteria pollutants such as nitrogen oxide ("NOx") and carbon monoxide ("CO"). We developed Ultera® for other applications including stationary engines and forklifts. We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 15, 2000.

We have wholly-owned subsidiaries American DG Energy, Inc. ("ADGE") and Tecogen CHP Solutions, Inc., and we own a 51% interest in American DG New York, LLC ("ADGNY"), a joint venture. ADGE and ADGNY distribute, own, and operate clean, on-site energy systems that produce electricity, hot water, heat and cooling. ADGE and ADGNY own the equipment that is installed at customers' facilities and sell the energy produced to the customer on a long-term contractual basis.

Our operations are comprised of three business segments:

•our Products segment, which designs, manufactures and sells industrial and commercial cogeneration systems;

•our Services segment, which provides operations and maintenance ("O&M") services for our products under long term service contracts, and

•our Energy Production segment, which sells energy in the form of electricity, heat, hot water and cooling to our customers under long-term energy sales agreements.

The majority of our customers are located in regions with the highest utility rates, typically California, the Midwest and the Northeast.

On July 20, 2022, we announced our intention to increase focus on opportunities relating to Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA). Tecogen believes that CEA offers an exciting opportunity to apply the company’s expertise in clean cooling, power generation, and greenhouse gas reduction to address critical issues affecting food and energy security.

Our common stock is quoted on OTC Markets Group, Inc.'s OTCQX Best Market tier and trades under the symbol "TGEN."

On May 18, 2017, we acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of American DG Energy Inc., formerly a related entity, in a stock-for-stock merger.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

TECOGEN INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Tecogen's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. Those entities include our wholly-owned subsidiaries American DG Energy Inc., Tecogen CHP Solutions, Inc., and a joint venture, American DG New York, LLC, in which American DG Energy Inc. holds a 51% interest. Investments in partnerships and companies in which we do not have a controlling financial interest but where we have significant influence are accounted for under the equity method. Any intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Our operations are comprised of three business segments. Our Products segment designs, manufactures and sells industrial and commercial cogeneration systems as described above. Our Services segment provides operation and maintenance services to customers for our products. Our Energy Production segment sells energy in the form of electricity, heat, hot water and cooling to our customers under long-term sales agreements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make 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 and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

The provisions for income taxes in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations differ from that which would be expected by applying the federal statutory tax rate primarily due to losses for which no benefit is recognized.

Employee Retention Credit

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law providing numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including an employee retention credit (“ERC”), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 extended and expanded the availability of the ERC.

As a result of our election to use an alternative quarter, we qualified for the ERC in the first, second and third quarters of 2021 because our gross receipts decreased by more than 20% from the first, second and third quarters of 2019. As a result of averaging 100 or fewer full-time employees in 2019, all wages paid to employees in the first, second and third quarters of 2021, excluding the wages applied to the Paycheck Protection Program Second Draw Loan, were eligible for the ERC.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded an ERC benefit for the first and second quarters of 2021 of $713,269 and, in the three months ended September 30, 2021 we recorded an ERC benefit for the third quarter of 2021 of $562,752, respectively, in other income (expense), net in the our condensed consolidated statements of operations. On April 14, 2022, we received $564,027 from the Internal Revenue Service representing the ERC claim for the third quarter of 2021 and $1,275 of accrued interest. We received $667,121 from the Internal Revenue Service on January 12, 2023 in payment of the ERC claimed from the first and second quarters of 2021 and $15,775 of accrued interest, which is reported in other income (expense) in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023. A current receivable in the amount of $46,148 is included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023. We expect to receive the remaining balance in 2023.

TECOGEN INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2. Revenue

Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied; generally this occurs with the transfer of control of our products, services and energy production. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services or energy to customers.

Shipping and handling fees billed to customers in a sales transaction are recorded in revenue and shipping and handling costs incurred are recorded in cost of sales. We have elected to exclude from revenue any value-added sales and other taxes which we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities. These accounting policy elections are consistent with the manner in which we historically recorded shipping and handling fees and value-added taxes. Incremental costs incurred by us to obtain a contract with a customer are negligible, if any, and are expensed ratably in proportion to the related revenue recognized.

Disaggregated Revenue

In general, our business segmentation is aligned according to the nature and economic characteristics of our products and customer relationships and provides meaningful disaggregation of each business segment's results of operations.

The following tables further disaggregate our revenue by major source by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Products Segment

Products. Our Product revenues include cogeneration systems that supply electricity and hot water, chillers that provide air-conditioning and hot water and engineered accessories, which consist of ancillary products and parts necessary to install a cogeneration unit including integration into the customers’ existing electrical and mechanical systems. We refer to the package of engineered accessories and engineering and design services necessary for the customers' installation of a cogeneration unit as light installation services.

We transfer control and generally recognize a sale when we ship a product from our manufacturing facility at which point the customer takes ownership of the product. Payment terms on product sales are generally 30 days.

We recognize revenue in certain circumstances before delivery to the customer has occurred (commonly referred to as bill and hold transactions). We recognize revenue related to such transactions once, among other things, the customer has made a written fixed commitment to purchase the product(s) under normal billing and credit terms, the customer has requested the product(s) be held for future delivery as scheduled and designated by them, risk of ownership has been assumed by the customer, and the product(s) are tagged as sold and segregated for storage awaiting further direction from the customer. Due to the infrequent nature and duration of bill and hold arrangements, the value associated with custodial storage services is deemed immaterial in the context of the contract and in total, and accordingly, none of the transaction price is allocated to such service.

Depending on the product and terms of the arrangement, we may defer the recognition of a portion of the transaction price received because we have to satisfy a future obligation (e.g., product start-up service). Amounts allocated to product start-up services are recognized as revenue when the start-up service has been completed. We use an observable selling price to determine standalone selling prices where available and either a combination of an adjusted market assessment approach, an expected cost plus a margin approach, and/or a residual approach to determine the standalone selling prices for separate performance obligations as a basis for allocating contract consideration when an observable selling price is not available. Amounts received but not recognized pending completion of performance are recognized as contract liabilities and are recorded as deferred revenue along with deposits by customers.

Services Segment

Installation Services. Prior to January 1, 2023, we provided installation services which included all necessary engineering and design, labor, subcontract labor and service to install a cogeneration unit including integration into the customers’ existing electrical and mechanical systems. Since January 1, 2023, we have not provided material installation services and do not expect to provide material installation services going forward.

Maintenance Services. Maintenance services are provided under either long-term maintenance contracts or time and material maintenance contracts. Revenue under time and material maintenance contracts is recognized when the maintenance service is completed. Revenue under long-term maintenance contracts is recognized either ratably over the term of the contract where the contract price is fixed or when the periodic maintenance activities are completed where the invoiced cost to the customer is based on run hours or kilowatts produced in a given period. We use an output method to measure progress towards completion of our performance obligation which results in the recognition of revenue on the basis of a direct measurement of the value to the customer of the services transferred to date relative to the remaining services promised under the contract. We use the practical expedient at ASC 606-10-55-18 of recognizing revenue in an amount equal to the amount we have the right to invoice the customer under the contract. Payment terms for maintenance services are generally 30 days.

Revenues resulting from the Aegis acquisition have been, since the acquisition date, included in our Services segment.

Energy Production Segment

Energy Production. Revenue from energy contracts is recognized when electricity, heat, hot and/or chilled water is produced by our owned on-site cogeneration systems. Each month we invoice the customer and recognize revenue for the various forms of energy delivered, based on actual meter readings which capture the quantity of the various forms of energy delivered in a given month, under a contractually defined formula which takes into account the current month's cost of energy from the local power utility.

As the various forms of energy delivered by us under energy production contracts are simultaneously delivered and consumed by the customer, our performance obligation under these contracts is considered to be satisfied over time. We use an output method to measure progress towards completion of our performance obligation which results in the recognition of revenue on the basis of a direct measurement of the value to the customer of the services transferred to date relative to the

TECOGEN INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

remaining services promised under the contract. We use the practical expedient at ASC 606-10-55-18 of recognizing revenue in an amount equal to the amount that we have the right to invoice the customer under the contract. Payment terms on invoices under these contracts are generally 30 days.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections result in billed accounts receivable, unbilled revenue (contract assets) and deferred revenue, consisting of customer deposits and billings in excess of revenue recognized (contract liabilities) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We did not recognize any revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2023 that was included in unbilled revenue at the end of the period. Approximately $16,428 was billed in this period that had been recognized as revenue in previous periods.

Revenue recognized during the six ended months June 30, 2023 that was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period was approximately $648,435.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations related to ASC 606 represent the aggregate transaction price allocated to performance obligations with an original contract term of greater than one year, excluding certain maintenance contracts and all energy production contracts where a direct measurement of the value to the customer is used as a method of measuring progress towards completion of our performance obligation. Exclusion of these remaining performance obligations is due in part to the inability to quantify values based on unknown future levels of delivery and in some cases rates used to invoice customers. Remaining performance obligations therefore consist of unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations related to fixed price maintenance contracts and installation contracts.

As of June 30, 2023, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $2.2 million. We expect to recognize revenue of approximately 98.9% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 24 months, 93.1% recognized in the first 12 months and 5.8% recognized over the subsequent 12 months, and the remainder recognized thereafter.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we received proceeds of $16,863 from the disposition of certain assets and reversed $8,687 of accrued decomissioning costs from a former ADG energy site, realizing a gain of $19,950. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we received proceeds of $67,169 from the disposition of certain assets, realizing a gain of $36,445.

Note 6. Intangible Assets and Liabilities Other Than Goodwill

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 we had the following amounts related to intangible assets and liabilities other than goodwill:

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The aggregate amortization expense related to intangible assets and liabilities exclusive of unfavorable contract related intangibles for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $117,833 and $167,194 and $50,469 and $100,491, respectively. The net credit to cost of sales related to the amortization of the unfavorable contract related intangible asset and liability for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $54,575 and $115,508 and $62,857 and $133,383, respectively.

Favorable/Unfavorable Contract Assets and Liabilities and Customer Contract Assets

The favorable contract asset and unfavorable contract liability in the foregoing table represent the estimated fair value of American DG Energy's customer contracts (both positive for favorable contracts and negative for unfavorable contracts) which were acquired by us in May 2017 and include the customer relationship contract acquired by us in April 2023 as part of the Aegis acquisition. The Aegis customer relationship contract is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of seven (7) years which is consistent with the projected revenue recognition.

Amortization of intangibles including contract related amounts is calculated using the straight-line method over the remaining useful life or contract term. Aggregate future amortization over the next five years and thereafter as of June 30, 2023 is estimated to be as follows:


	Non-contract Related Intangibles		Contract Related Intangibles		Total
Year 1	$	183,504	$	13,774	$	197,278
Year 2	179,922		95,572		275,494
Year 3	176,029		143,370		319,399
Year 4	172,418		165,490		337,908
Year 5	100,048		174,871		274,919
Thereafter	48,068		237,056		285,124
Total	$	859,989	830,133		$	1,690,122

We recognized a gain on termination of unfavorable contract liability of $71,375 in the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to the closing of certain energy production sites.


Note 7.			Sale of Energy Producing Assets and Goodwill Impairment

During the first quarter of 2019 we recognized two individual sales of energy producing assets, for a total of eight power purchase agreements, including the associated energy production contracts for total consideration of $7 million.

In connection with these assets sales, we entered into agreements with the purchaser to maintain and operate the assets over the remaining periods of the associated energy production contracts (through August 2033 and January 2034, respectively) in exchange for monthly maintenance and operating fees. These agreements contain provisions whereby we have guaranteed to the purchaser a minimum level or threshold of cash flows from the associated energy production contracts. In October 2021 the minimum guarantee with respect to one of the energy purchase agreements was modified by reducing the guaranteed minimum collections by $35,000 per year, the guaranteed minimum collection amount associated with one site that was sold by the customer. Actual results are compared to the minimum threshold bi-annually and we are contractually obligated to reimburse any shortfall to the purchaser. To the extent actual cash flow results exceed the minimum threshold, we are entitled to fifty percent of such excess under the agreements. Based upon an analysis of these energy producing assets expected future performance, as of June 30, 2023 we do not expect to make any material payments under the guarantee.

At June 30, 2023, we were due $22,229 under the energy production contracts, representing outstanding accounts receivable balances that were due from the purchaser's customers which were past due at December 31, 2022 and have since been collected. We expect to receive these funds in the third quarter of 2023 when the bi-annual reconciliation for the period ended June 30, 2023 is prepared.

The foregoing agreements also contain provisions whereby we have agreed to make whole the purchaser in the event the counterparty to the energy production contract(s) defaults on or otherwise terminates before the stated expiration of the energy production contract. Should we be required to make whole the purchaser under such provisions, we would be entitled to seek recovery from the counterparty to the energy production contract(s) under a similar provision contained in those contracts in respect of early termination.

TECOGEN INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

We are also responsible under the agreements for site decommissioning costs, if any, in excess of certain threshold amounts by site. Decommissioning of site assets is performed when, if and as requested by the counterparty to the energy production contract upon termination of the energy production contract.


Note 8.			Aegis Contract and Related Asset Acquisition

On March 15, 2023, we entered into an agreement ("Agreement") with Aegis Energy Services, LLC (“Aegis”) pursuant to which Aegis agreed to assign to us and we agreed to assume certain Aegis maintenance agreements, we agreed to purchase certain assets from Aegis, and related matters (“Acquisition”). On April 1, 2023, the Acquisition closed. Under the Agreement, we agreed to acquire from Aegis and assume Aegis’ rights and obligations arising on or after April 1, 2023, under maintenance agreements pursuant to which Aegis provided maintenance services to third parties for approximately 200 cogeneration systems and we agreed to acquire from Aegis certain vehicles and inventory used by Aegis in connection with the performance of its maintenance services. At closing, we acquired eight (8) Aegis vehicles for consideration consisting of $170,000 in cash. Also, we issued credits against outstanding accounts receivable due from Aegis in the amount of $300,000 for the acquisition of inventory that Aegis used to provide maintenance services. At closing, we hired eight (8) Aegis employees who, following the closing, have agreed to continue to provide maintenance services relating to the cogeneration systems covered by the maintenance agreements assumed pursuant to the Agreement. Following the closing and for a period of up to seven (7) years, we have agreed to pay Aegis a percentage of the revenue collected for maintenance services provided pursuant to the maintenance agreements acquired from Aegis. Further, prior to December 31, 2023, we have the right to acquire and assume additional Aegis’ maintenance agreements for cogeneration systems on substantially similar terms and conditions. The Agreement contained certain indemnification provisions and agreements on the part of Aegis and for each party to cooperate with each other and provide certain transitional assistance. We acquired the Aegis maintenance agreements to expand our Service portfolio and to benefit from the long-term contract revenue stream generated by these agreements.

We have determined that the assignment and assumption of the Aegis maintenance agreements, in combination with the related asset acquisition and the retention of the former Aegis employees, constitutes a business and should be accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method. As of the acquisition date, we recognized, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, at fair value.

We have included the financial results of the Aegis maintenance agreements in our consolidated financial statements from April 1, 2023, the closing or acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for the Aegis acquisition and the fair value of assets acquired and contract-related liabilities assumed as the acquisition date:

TECOGEN INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


Consideration Paid:
Cash	$	170,000
Accounts receivable credit issued	300,000
Account payable	111,178
Contingent consideration	1,442,462
Total fair value of consideration transferred	2,023,639

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Assets acquired
Property, plant and equipment	170,000
Inventory	411,178
Identifiable intangible asset - customer contracts	1,591,327
	2,172,505
Acquired contract-related liabilities assumed
Deferred maintenance reserve	(871,856)
	(871,856)
Net identifiable assets acquired	1,300,649
Excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired (Goodwill)	$	722,991

The amounts recognized for inventory, identifiable intangible assets, contingent consideration and deferred maintenance reserves are provisional pending completion of the necessary valuations and analysis. ASC 805 establishes a measurement period to provide companies with a reasonable amount of time to obtain the information necessary to identify and measure various items in a business combination and cannot extend beyond one year from the acquisition date.

The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using the income approach. The excess cash flow was discounted to present value using an appropriate rate of return to estimate the market value of the customer identifiable intangible asset and the risks associated with the future revenue forecasts due to potential changes in customer energy requirements or changes in the economic viability of these CHP sites which depend on the spread between natural gas fuel and electricity prices, all of which are not within our control. Key assumptions to value the customer identifiable intangible asset included a discount rate of 15%, anticipated existing contract run out and forecasted revenue.

On the date of acquisition, the fair value of the contingent consideration and the deferred maintenance reserve were calculated using a weighted average cost of capital of 12%, discounting the future cash flows to present value and are subsequently remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingencies are resolved.

The contingent consideration is payable within forty-five (45) days following the end of each calendar quarter through the earlier of the expiration or termination of the relevant maintenance agreements, or the seventh (7th) anniversary of the acquisition date. The consideration is equal to the product of the revenues collected in a calendar quarter multiplied by an applicable percentage. The agreement stipulates quarterly aggregate revenue targets and an applicable percentage, and provides for a higher applicable percentage if revenues exceed the target revenues. The applicable percentage ranges from 5% to 10% over the agreement term. The deferred maintenance reserve represents costs, which are expected to be incurred over a three-year period from the date of acquisition, to repair customer equipment that had not been properly maintained prior to our acquisition of the maintenance service agreements.

Revenues and gross profit since the acquisition date were $628,813 and $411,106, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and are included in our Services segment.

The purchase price of the acquisition was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed and recognized at their fair value based on widely accepted valuation techniques in accordance with ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement," as of the acquisition date. The process for estimating fair value requires the use of significant assumptions and estimates of future cash flows and developing appropriate discount rates. The excess of the purchase price over fair value of the net identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the going concern element of the Aegis business, including its assembled workforce and the long-term nature of the customer maintenance agreements, as well as anticipated cost synergies due primarily to the elimination of administrative overhead. Goodwill resulting from the Aegis acquisition is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Note 9.			Leases

Our leases principally consist of operating leases related to our corporate office, field offices, and our research, manufacturing, and storage facilities.

At inception, we determine if an arrangement contains a lease and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. Some of our lease agreements contain lease components (e.g. minimum rent payments) and non-lease components (e.g. maintenance, labor charges, etc.). We account for each component separately based on the estimated standalone price of each component.

Operating leases are included in Right-of-use assets, Lease obligations, current and Lease obligations, long term on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term and using an incremental borrowing rate consistent with the lease terms or implicit rates, when readily determinable. For those leases where it is reasonably certain at the commencement date that we will exercise the option to extend the lease, then the lease term will include the lease extension term. Short-term operating leases, which have an initial term of 12 months or less, are not recorded on the balance sheet.

Lease expense for operating leases, which principally consist of fixed payments for base rent, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $216,841 and $406,556 and $210,155 and $407,074, respectively.

Supplemental information related to leases for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was as follows:

The lease on our headquarters located in Waltham, Massachusetts which consists of approximately 43,000 square feet of manufacturing, storage and office space, expires on March 31, 2024. Currently, our monthly base rent is $44,254. On March 31, 2023, we entered into two lease agreements for two adjoining buildings, located in Billerica, Massachusetts, containing approximately 26,412 square feet of manufacturing, storage and offices space to serve as our headquarters and manufacturing facilities. The lease agreements provide for initial lease terms of five (5) years with two successive options to renew for additional terms of five (5) years. Both leases commence on January 1, 2024 and require payment of the base rent, real estate taxes, common maintenance expenses and aggregate deposits of $38,200. Our costs for initial improvements required to the leased premises is estimated to range between $1,000,000 and $1,250,000. The estimated straight-line monthly rent expense for the initial term of the lease is approximately $24,800 per month. In accordance with ASC 842-20-30-1, we will record the lease liability and right-of-use asset using the discount rate for the lease upon the lease commencement date.

Note 10. Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

We adopted a 2006 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, or the Plan, under which the Board of Directors may grant incentive or non-qualified stock options and stock grants to key employees, directors, advisors and consultants. The Plan was amended at various dates by the Board of Directors to increase the reserved shares of common stock issuable under the Amended Plan to 3,838,750 as of June 30, 2023, and in June 2017 stockholders approved an amendment to extend the termination date of the Plan to January 1, 2026 and ratified all of our option grants issued after January 1, 2016 (the "Amended Plan").

Stock options vest based upon the terms within the individual option grants, with an acceleration of the unvested portion of such options upon a change in control event, as defined in the Amended Plan. The options are not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The option price per share under the Amended Plan cannot be less than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of the grant. The number of shares remaining available for future issuance under the Amended Plan as of June 30, 2023 was 188,393.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we did not grant any options to purchase shares of common stock under the Amended Plan.

We adopted the 2022 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2022 Plan"), under which the Board of Directors may grant incentive or non-qualified stock options and stock grants to key employees, directors, advisors and consultants. We have reserved 3,800,000 shares of our common stock for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2022 Plan. The adoption of the 2022 Plan was approved by our shareholders on June 9, 2022.

Under the 2022 Plan, stock options vest based upon the terms within the individual option grants, with an acceleration of the unvested portion of such options upon a change in control event, as defined in the 2022 Plan. The options are not transferable except by will or domestic relations order. The option price per share under the 2022 Plan cannot be less than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of the grant. The number of shares remaining available for future issuance under the Plan as of June 30, 2023 was 3,475,000.

Note 11. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. We currently do not have any Level 1 financial assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. We have Level 2 financial assets and liabilities as provided below.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the input used in pricing the asset or liability. We do not currently have any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities.

The following tables present the asset reported in "other assets" in the consolidated balance sheet measured at its fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and 2022 by level within the fair value hierarchy.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

On November 23, 2022, we were served with a suit filed against us on August 24, 2022 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice by The Corporation of the Town of Milton, Milton Energy Generation Solutions Inc. and Milton Hydro Distribution Inc (the "Plaintiffs"), all of whom are municipal corporations incorporated in the Province of Ontario. The plaintiffs sued for damages in the amount of CDN $1,000,000, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, legal fees, and any further relief the court may deem, alleging breach of contract, breach of warranty, negligent misrepresentations and nuisance. Plaintiffs allege that on or about July 10, 2022, a Tecogen cogenerator installed by us at the plaintiffs facility caught fire, causing damage to the cogenerator and the plaintiff's facility. We have filed a response denying liability and are being represented by Canadian counsel. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we reserved $150,000 for anticipated damages which may not be covered by our insurance.

Recent Developments

Assumption of Aegis Energy Services Maintenance Agreements

Tecochill Hybrid-Drive Air-Cooled Chiller Development

During the third quarter of 2021 we began development of the Tecochill Hybrid-Drive Air-Cooled Chiller. We recognized that there were many applications where the customer wanted an easy to install roof top chiller. Using the inverter design from our InVerde e+ cogeneration module, the system can simultaneously take two inputs, one from the grid or a renewable energy source and one from our natural gas engine. This allows a customer to seek the optimum blend of operational cost savings and greenhouse gas benefits while providing added resiliency from two power sources. We introduced the Tecochill Hybrid-Drive Air-Cooled Chiller at the AHR Expo in February 2023 and are expecting to start accepting orders for the product in the fourth quarter 2023. A patent application based on this concept has been filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office.

TECOGEN INC.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Controlled Environment Agriculture

On July 20, 2022, we announced our intention to increase our focus on opportunities relating to Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA). Tecogen believes that CEA offers an exciting opportunity to apply the company’s expertise in clean cooling, power generation, and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction to address critical issues affecting food and energy security. In recent years our chiller and cogeneration equipment have been used in numerous cannabis cultivation facilities because our systems significantly reduce operating costs, reduce the facility GHG footprint and offer resiliency to grid outages.

CEA facilities enable multiple crop cycles (15 to 20 cycles) in one year compared to one or two crop cycles in conventional farming. In addition, growing produce close to the point of sale reduces food spoilage during transportation. Food crops grown in greenhouses typically have lower yields per square foot than in CEA facilities, and the push to situate facilities close to consumers in cities requires minimizing land area and maximizing yield per square foot. Yields are increased in CEA facilities by supplementing or replacing natural light with grow lights in a climate-controlled environment - which requires significant energy use.

Our experience providing clean energy solutions to cannabis cultivation facilities has given us significant insight into requirements relating to energy-intensive indoor agriculture applications that we expect to be transferable to CEA facilities for food production. Although we have no current plans to develop CEA facilities ourselves, we are working with other companies that are providing HVAC solutions, modular chiller plants, and controls to integrate and expand our solutions for CEA. Although there can be no assurance, we expect customers using the exhaust gas CO2 from our engines to boost plant growth both in food crop and cannabis facilities.

Employee Retention Credit

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded an ERC benefit for the first and second quarters of 2021 of $713,269 and, in the three months ended September 30, 2021 we recorded an ERC benefit for the third quarter of 2021 of $562,752, respectively, in other income (expense), net in the our condensed consolidated statements of operations. On April 14, 2022, we received $564,027 from the Internal Revenue Service representing the ERC claim for the third quarter of 2021 and $1,275 of accrued interest. We received $667,121 from the Internal Revenue Service on January 12, 2023 in payment of the ERC claimed from the first and second quarters of 2021 and $15,775 of accrued interest, which is reported in other income (expense) in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2023. A current receivable in the amount of $46,148 is included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023. We expect to receive the remaining balance in 2023.

Impact of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine

Presently, we have no operations or customers in Russia or the Ukraine. The higher energy prices for natural gas as a result of the war may affect the performance of our Energy Production segment. However, we have also seen higher electricity prices as much of the electricity production in the United States is generated from fossil fuels. If the electricity prices continue to rise, the economic savings generated by our products are likely to increase. In addition to the direct result of changes in natural gas and electricity prices, the war in Ukraine may result in higher cybersecurity risks, increased or ongoing supply chain challenges, and volatility related to the trading prices of commodities.

Overview

Tecogen designs, manufactures and sells industrial and commercial cogeneration systems that produce combinations of electricity, hot water and air conditioning using automotive engines that have been adapted to run on natural gas. Cogeneration systems are efficient because, in addition to supplying mechanical energy to power electric generators or compressors – displacing utility supplied electricity – they provide an opportunity for the facility to incorporate the engine’s waste heat into onsite processes, such as space and potable water heating. We produce standardized, modular, small-scale products, with a limited number of product configurations that are adaptable to multiple applications. We refer to these combined heat and power products as CHP (electricity plus heat) and Engine driven chillers (cooling plus heat).

TECOGEN INC.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Our products are sold directly to end-users by our in-house marketing team and by established sales agents and representatives. We have agreements in place with distributors and sales representatives. Our existing customers include hospitals and nursing homes, colleges and universities, health clubs and spas, hotels and motels, office and retail buildings, food and beverage processors, multi-unit residential buildings, laundries, ice rinks, swimming pools, factories, municipal buildings, military installations and indoor growing facilities. We have an installed base of more than 3,000 units. Our products have long useful lives with proper maintenance. Some of our units have been operating for over 35 years.

With the acquisition of American DG Energy Inc. ("ADGE") in May 2017, we added an additional source of revenue. Through ADGE, we install, own, operate and maintain complete distributed generation electricity systems, or DG systems or energy systems, and other complementary systems at customer sites, and sell electricity, hot water, heat and cooling energy under long-term contracts at prices guaranteed to the customer to be below conventional utility rates. Each month we obtain readings from our energy meters to determine the amount of energy produced for each customer. We use a contractually defined formula to multiply these readings by the appropriate published price of energy (electricity, natural gas or oil) from each customer's local energy utility, to derive the value of our monthly energy sale, which includes a negotiated discount. Our revenues per customer on a monthly basis vary based on the amount of energy produced by our energy systems and the published price of energy (electricity, natural gas or oil) from our customer's local energy utility that month.

Our operations are comprised of three business segments. Our Products segment designs, manufactures and sells industrial and commercial cogeneration systems. Our Services segment provides operation and maintenance services for our products under long term service contracts. Our Energy Production segment sells energy in the form of electricity, heat, hot water and cooling to our customers under long-term sales agreements.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Products

Products revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $2,445,631 compared to $3,010,115 for the same period in 2022, a decrease of $564,484, or 18.8%. The decrease in Products revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2023 is due to a $526,550, or 55.2%, decrease in cogeneration sales and a decrease in chiller sales of $50,070, or 2.9%, offset partially by an increase in sales of engineered accessories of $12,136, of 3.8%. Our Products sales mix, as well as Products revenue, can vary significantly from period to period as our products are high dollar, low volume sales.

Services

Service revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $3,952,971, compared to $3,050,191 for the same period in 2022, an increase of $902,780, or 29.6%. The increase in revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2023 is due primarily to the addition of $628,813 in revenue from the acquired Aegis maintenance contracts and a $273,967, or 9.0%, increase in service contract revenues from existing contracts.

Energy Production

Energy Production revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $350,156, compared to $354,287 for the same period in 2022, a decrease of $4,131, or 1.2%. The decrease in energy production revenue is a consequence of certain energy production sites that have permanently closed and seasonality.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales in the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $3,914,332 compared to $3,711,144 for the same period in 2022, an increase of $203,188, or 5.5%. The increase in cost of sales is due to increased Services revenue and the impact of inflation on material costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 our gross margin decreased to 42.0% compared to 42.1% for the same period in 2022, a 0.1% percentage point decrease.

Products

Cost of sales for Products in the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $1,618,456 compared to $2,015,466 for the same period in 2022, a decrease of $397,010, or 19.7% due to decreased product revenue volume. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, our Products gross margin was 33.8% compared to 33.0% for the same period in 2022, an 0.8% percentage point increase.

Services

Cost of sales for Services in the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $2,075,869 compared to $1,473,586 for the same period in 2022, an increase of $602,283, or 40.9%, due primarily to increased labor and material costs as a consequence of acquiring the Aegis customer maintenance contracts and increased material usage at existing sites. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, our Services gross margin decreased to 47.5% compared to 51.7% for the same period in 2022, a 4.2% percentage point decrease due to increased labor and material costs.

Energy Production

Cost of sales for Energy Production in the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $220,007 compared to $222,092 for the same period in 2022, a decrease of $2,085, or 0.9%. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 our Energy Production gross margin was 37.2% compared to 37.3% for the same period in 2022, a 0.1% percentage point decrease.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased $93,889, or 2.7%, to $3,614,675 in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $3,520,786 in the same period in 2022. The total operating expenses were higher primarily due to additional costs as a result of the acquisition of Aegis contracts and related assets.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Products

Products revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $4,155,767 compared to $6,949,596 for the same period in 2022, a decrease of $2,793,829, or 40.2%. The decrease in Products revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2023 is due to a decrease in cogeneration sales of $2,156,861, or 69.0%, a decrease in chiller sales of $588,544, or 17.6%, and, by a $48,424, or 10.2%, decrease in sales of engineered accessories. Our Products sales mix, as well as Products revenue, can vary significantly from period to period as our products are high dollar, low volume sales.

Services

Services revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $7,089,144, compared to $5,967,471 for the same period in 2022, an increase of $1,121,673, or 18.8%. The increase in revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2023 is due primarily to the addition of $628,813 in revenue from the acquired Aegis maintenance contracts and a $492,860 or 8.3%, increase in service contract revenues from existing contracts.

Energy Production

Energy Production revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $883,665, compared to $935,849 for the same period in 2022, a decrease of $52,184, or 5.6%. The decrease in Energy Production revenue is a consequence of certain Energy Production sites that were down for maintenance and system upgrades in 2023 and seasonality.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales in the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $7,202,241 compared to $8,058,678 for the same period in 2022, a decrease of $856,437, or 10.6%. The decrease in cost of sales is due to decreased Products revenue volume, offset partially by increased labor and material costs as a consequence of acquiring the Aegis customer maintenance contracts and increased material usage at existing sites. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 our gross margin decreased to 40.6% compared to 41.8% for the same period in 2022, a 1.2% percentage point decrease due to higher labor and material costs.

Products

Cost of sales for Products in the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $2,831,024 compared to $4,660,221 for the same period in 2022, a decrease of $1,829,197, or 39.3% due to decreased Products revenue volume, offset partially by higher material costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, our Products gross margin was 31.9% compared to 32.9% for the same period in 2022, an 1.0% percentage point decrease. The decrease in margin is primarily a function of increased material costs.

Services

Cost of sales for Services in the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $3,813,471 compared to $2,840,338 for the same period in 2022, an increase of $973,133, or 34.3%, due primarily to increased labor and material costs as a consequence of acquiring the Aegis customer maintenance contracts and increased material usage at existing sites. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, our Services gross margin decreased to 46.2% compared to 52.4% for the same period in 2022, a 6.2% percentage point decrease due to increased labor and material costs.

Energy Production

Cost of sales for Energy Production in the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $557,746 compared to $558,119 for the same period in 2022, a decrease of $373, or 0.1%. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 our Energy Production gross margin was 36.9% compared to 40.4% for the same period in 2022, a 3.5% percentage point decrease. The decrease in the Energy Production gross margin is due to decreased runtime at our Energy Production sites in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased $625,735, or 9.6%, to $7,156,330 in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $6,530,595 in the same period in 2022. The total operating expenses were higher primarily due to higher salary costs, increased travel expenses, higher insurance premiums and costs related to the acquisition of Aegis contracts and related assets.

Research and development expenses consist of engineering and technical staff, materials, outside consulting and other related expenses. Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $465,658 compared to $334,988 for the same period in 2022, an increase of $130,670 or 39.0%, due to increased payroll costs.

We recognized a gain on termination of unfavorable contract liability of $71,375 in the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to the closing of certain energy production sites.

Loss from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $2,229,995 compared to a loss of $736,357 for the same period in 2022, an increase of $1,493,638. The increase in the loss from operations is due primarily to lower Products revenue and gross profit in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and a $625,735 increase in operating expenses.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $14,994 compared to other income of $8,520 for the same period in 2022, an increase of $6,474.

Included in working capital were cash and cash equivalents of $1,871,063 at June 30, 2023, compared to $1,913,969 at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $42,906, or 2.2%.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $153,676 compared to $579,177 of cash used by operating activities for the same period in 2022, an increase of $732,853, or 126.5%. Our accounts receivable and unbilled revenue balances were $5,614,291 and $1,748,336, respectively, at June 30, 2023 compared to $6,714,122 and $1,805,330 at December 31, 2022, providing $755,831 and $56,994 of cash, respectively. Inventories increased $1,133,618 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to acquiring inventory based on forecasted revenue. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 we collected the majority of the outstanding Employee Retention Credit receivables, providing $667,121 of cash from operations.

Accounts payable increased to $4,212,914 as of June 30, 2023 from $3,261,952 at December 31, 2022, providing $839,784 in cash flow from operations. The increase in accounts payable was due to increased inventory procured in the six months ended June 30, 2023. Deferred revenue increased as of June 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022, providing $752,873 of cash from operations. We expect accounts payable and deferred revenue to fluctuate with routine changes in operations.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 we used $196,582 in cash from investing activities. We used $170,000 of cash to acquire certain assets as part of the Aegis acquisition, used $19,607 of cash to purchase property, plant and equipment, and distributed $23,838 to the 49% non-controlling interest holders of American DG New York LLC, partially offset by the receipt of $16,863 in proceeds from the disposition of assets.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 cash used in investing activities was $204,179. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 we used $209,034 of cash to purchase property, plant and equipment, $29,505 to acquire intangible assets, and distributed $32,809 to the non-controlling interest holders of American DG New York LLC, partially offset by receipt of $67,169 in insurance and other proceeds from the disposition of assets.

Backlog at the beginning of any period is not necessarily indicative of future performance. Our presentation of backlog may differ from other companies in our industry.

TECOGEN INC.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Liquidity

At June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,871,063, a decrease of $42,906 or 2.2% from the cash and cash equivalents balance at December 31, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, our Products revenue was negatively impacted. Our Products have long sales cycles and the reduced business development activity in the aftermath of COVID-19 resulted in what we believe is a temporary reduction in Products revenue.

Based on our current operating plan, we believe existing resources, including existing cash and cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve months. However, we may need to generate sufficient additional cash from operations to finance the company during the periods beyond twelve months. If sufficient funds from operating activities are not available to finance our business and operations, we may need to raise additional capital through debt financing or an equity offering to meet our operating and capital needs. There can be no assurance we will be able to raise such additional debt or equity financing or upon terms that are acceptable to us.

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The accounting policies and estimates that can have a significant impact upon our operating results, financial position and footnote disclosures are described in the above notes and in the Annual Report.

Significant New Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective

The Company's critical accounting policies have remained consistent as discussed in our Annual Report on

Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 23, 2023.

See Note 1, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Seasonality

The majority of our chilling systems sold will be operational for the summer. Demand for our service team is higher in the warmer months when cooling is required. Chiller units are generally shut down in the winter and started up again in the spring. The chiller "busy season' for the service team generally runs from May through the end of September. Our cogeneration sales are not generally affected by seasonality.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Currently, we do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements, including any outstanding derivative financial instruments, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer ("Certifying Officer") conducted evaluations of our disclosure controls and procedures. As defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Securities Exchange Act"), the term "disclosure controls and procedures" means controls and procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure the information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Section 13(a) or 15(d) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including the Certifying Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a material weakness with respect to a small number of individuals dealing with general controls over information technology. Management is taking steps to remediate the weaknesses as resources become available.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) during the period covered by this Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under "Item1A - Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 ("2022 Form 10-K") The risks discussed in our 2022 Form 10-K could materially affect our business, financial condition and future results. The risks described in our 2022 Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. The following material change to our risk factors since filing our 2022 Form 10-K is as follows:

Losses or unauthorized access to or releases of confidential information, including personal information, could subject us to significant reputational, financial, legal and operational consequences.

Our business requires us to use and store confidential information, including personal information, with respect to our customers and employees and also requires us to share confidential information with suppliers and other third parties. We rely on suppliers that are also exposed to ransomware and other malicious attacks that can disrupt business operations. Although we take steps to secure confidential information that is provided to or accessible by third parties working on our behalf, such measures may not always be effective and losses or unauthorized access to or releases of confidential information occur. Such incidents and other malicious attacks could materially adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition.

We have experienced malicious attacks and other attempts to gain unauthorized access to our systems, including the ransomware attack on our computer network which occurred on April 28, 2023 which required that we limit user access, remove the hard drives from two affected workstations from service and restore network files from systems backups. Our network returned to full operation on May 1, 2023. Since this incident, we have implemented changes to user access passwords, conducted a full audit of user accounts and implemented multi-factor authentication for network and workstation access. These attacks seek to compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of confidential information or disrupt normal business operations, and could, among other things, impair our ability to attract and retain customers for its products and services, impact our stock price, materially damage commercial relationships, and expose us to litigation or government investigations, which could result in penalties, fines or judgments against us. Globally, attacks are expected to continue accelerating in both frequency and sophistication with increasing use by actors of tools and techniques that are designed to circumvent controls, avoid detection, and remove or obfuscate forensic evidence, all of which hinders our ability to identify, investigate and recover from incidents. In addition, attacks against us and our customers can escalate during periods of severe diplomatic or armed conflict.

We have implemented systems and processes intended to secure our information technology systems and prevent unauthorized access to or loss of sensitive data, and mitigate the impact of unauthorized access, including through the use of encryption and authentication technologies and we continue to undertake regular reviews of our IT infrastructure and have investigated improved software and hardware cyber threat protection solutions. But these measures cannot provide absolute security, and losses or unauthorized access to or releases of confidential information occur and could materially adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition.
