see in full comparisonWe continue to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officer. We are continuing to improve our internal control over financial reporting which may require us to hire additional accounting and financial personnel to implement such processes and controls and to provide additional training for our existing personnel. We expect to incur costs related to implementing our internal audit and compliance function in the upcoming years to further improve our internal control environment.If we identify further deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting in the future or if we are unable to comply with the demandsthat will beplaced upon us as a public company, including the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in a timely manner, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results, or report them within the timeframes required by the SEC.

Our operating history is characterized by lossesnet andlosses. thereThere can be no assurance we will be able to increase our salesrevenues and sustainbecome profitabilityprofitable in the future.
We have historically incurred annual net losses, including net loss of $8,248,755 in 2025 and a net loss of $4,760,238 in 2024. We have an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 20242025 of $47,639,894$55,888,649 and working capital of $5,329,650.$19,618,132. Our business is capital intensive and, because our products generally are built to order with customized configurations, the lead time to build and deliver a unit can be significant. We may be required to purchase key components long before we can deliver a unit and receive payment. Changes in customer orders or lack of demand may also impact our profitability. There can be no assurance we will be able to increase our sales and achieve and sustain profitability in the future.
We may need to raise additional financing if the cash generated from our operations is insufficient to fund our continued operations, which additional capital may result in restrictions on our operations or substantial dilution to our stockholders, and which capital may not be available to us or on terms acceptable to us or at all.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, our revenues were negatively impacted due to supply chain issues, project deferrals and the reduced manufacturing capacity due to our plant relocation in 2024.
During 2024, we have funded our operations through cash generated from our operations and through financing transactions, including related party loans from our directors. See Note 11. "Related Party Notes" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We cannot be certain if our operations will generate sufficient cash to fund our ongoing operations or the growth of our business. To the extent cash generated from operations in the future is insufficient to fund our operating requirements, we will be required to seek additional outside financing. Our inability to obtain necessary capital or financing to fund these working capital needs may adversely affect our ability to expand our operations.
Our business is capital intensive and, because our products are built to order with customized configurations, the lead time to build and deliver a unit can be significant. We may be required to purchase key components long before we can deliver a unit and receive payment. Changes in customer orders or lack of demand may also impact our profitability. There can be no assurance we will be able to increase our sales and achieve and sustain profitability in the future. Based on management's analysis and our operating and cash flow plans, we believe that anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our current working capital needs and fund operations over the next twelve months. There can, however, be no assurance we will be able to do so. If our cash flows from operations are insufficient to fund our business we must continue to rely upon financing provided by related parties to help fund our operations and we may need to raise additional capital through a debt or equity financing to meet our need for capital to fund operations and future growth. Furthermore, any debt financing is likely to include financial and other covenants that may impede our ability to react to changes in the economy or industry. If adequate financing is not available when needed, we may be required to implement cost-cutting strategies, delay production, curtail research and development efforts, or implement other measures, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial conditions and the price of our stock.
If we experience a period of significant growth or expansion, it could place a substantial strain on our resources.
If our cogeneration and chiller products penetrate the market rapidly, we may be unable to deliver large volumes of products or components to our customers on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost to us. We have never ramped up our manufacturing capabilities to meet significant large-scale production requirements. If we were to commit to deliver large volumes of products, we may not be able to satisfy these commitments on a timely and cost-effective basis.
We use third-party suppliers for components in all of our products. Our engines and generators required in our cogeneration products (other than the InVerde), and the compressor and vessel sets in our chillers, are all purchased from large multinational equipment manufacturers. The loss of one or more of our suppliers could materially and adversely affect our business if we are unable to replace them. While alternate suppliers for the manufacture of our engine, generators and compressors have been identified,identified should the need arise, there can be no assurance that alternate suppliers will be available and able to provide such items on acceptable terms or on a timely basis.
For the yearsyear ended December 31, 20242025 and December 31, 2023, noone customer represented more than 10% of revenuesour revenue. No customer represented more than 10% of our revenue for the respectiveyear years,ended andDecember one31, 2024. One customer represented 12%11% of theour accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2024,2025, and one customer represented 14% of theour accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2023.2024. The loss of any one or more of our major customers or our inability to collect on outstanding accounts receivable from one or more of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Our provision for credit losses decreased to $62,958 in the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $146,010 in the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $902,432 in the year ended December 31, 2023, due to the write down of certain install receivables which were deemed uncollectible in the year ended December 31, 2023.2024. Our allowance for credit losses increased $145,940$93,147 to $295,932$389,079 in the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.2024.
Our backlog as of December 31, 20242025 was $12,336,248$2,522,231 compared to $7,388,145$12,336,248 as of December 31, 2023.2024. Our backlog at December 31, 2024 included an order for several chillers which were shipped in 2025 and orders for our several cogeneration systems that shipped in the first quarter of 2025 to customers seeking tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Although we expect our customers to issue definitive purchase orders with respect to such backlog, there can be no assurance that such amounts will not be subject to modification in the event customers experience unexpected delays in obtaining permits, interconnection agreements, or financing. We have experienced order delays and deferrals for our products due to business closures or the inability to obtain government issued permits to conduct product installations. Any of such events may result in customers modifying the equipment or the terms or timing of the expected installation, which may result in changes to the amount of backlog attributed to those projects.
The economic viability of our CHP products depends on the spread between natural gas fuel and electricity prices. Volatility in one component of the spread, such as the cost of natural gas and other fuels (e.g., propane or distillate oil), can be managed to some extent by means of futures contracts. However, the regional rates charged for both base load and peak electricity may decline periodically due to excess generating capacity or general economic recessions, and both the cost of natural gas and the cost of electricity for base load and peak load may be adversely affected by market forces and geopolitical disruptions such as Russian expansion into the Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East and political and other responses to such activity.
As of December 31, 2024,2025, our goodwill was $2,346,566,$1,248,442, and our intangible assets were $2,513,189.$2,146,503. We performed a goodwill impairment test at December 31, 2024,2025, and determined that the carrying value of our energy production business assets exceeded the estimated fair value of the energy production business assets based on a discounted cash flow analysis, and we recognized goodwill and long-lived asset impairment relating to our energy production segmentand product segments of $217,295$1,098,124 for the year ended December 31, 2024.2025. The fair value of the Aegis maintenance service contracts based on a discounted cash flow analysis exceeded the carrying value of the assets, and we did not recognize goodwill impairment relating to our services segment for the year ended December 31, 2024.2025.
Our future performance depends on the continued contributions of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Abinand Rangesh, our President and Chief Operating Officer, Robert Panora, our Chief Financial Officer, Roger Deschenes, and other key employees, to execute on our business plan, develop new products and services, source new customers, and enter into new partnerships. In addition, our success, in part, depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified member of our board and our board committees. The failure to properly manage succession plans or the loss of services of senior management, other key employees or members of our board could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our strategic objectives. From time to time, there may be changes in our senior management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives, which could disrupt our business. We do not currently maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our employees. The loss of the services of one or more of our senior management or other key employees for any reason could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results, and require significant amounts of time, training, and resources to recruit suitable replacements and integrate them within our business and could affect our corporate culture.

We received short-term debt financing from directors and shareholders to fund our business and ongoing operations. If we are unable to generate sufficient funds from operations or obtain additional financing, we may not be able to repay the loans when they becomes due.
On October 9, 2023, we entered into note subscription agreements with each of John N. Hatsopoulos and Earl R. Lewis, III, each a director and shareholder of Tecogen, pursuant to which Mr. Hatsopoulos agreed to provide financing to us of up to $1,000,000, and Mr. Lewis agreed to provide financing to us of $500,000, and potentially, an additional $500,000 at his discretion. On October 10, 2023, we borrowed $500,000 from Mr. Hatsopoulos and issued him a one-year promissory note with interest accruing at 5.12% per annum. On July 23, 2024, we borrowed an additional $500,000 from Mr. Hatsopoulos, and issued a one-year promissory note with interest accruing at 5.06% per annum. On September 18, 2024, we borrowed $500,000 from Mr. Lewis and issued him a one-year promissory note with interest accruing at 4.57% per annum.
On January 14, 2025, we agreed to permit Mr. Lewis to convert the balance of the promissory note to him to cash or, at his discretion, the number of shares of Tecogen common stock determined by dividing the balance of the promissory note by the average closing price per share of our shares during the thirty-day period prior to the date of conversion.
On February 18, 2025 we amended the promissory notes with Mr. Hatsopoulos to extend the maturity dates for both promissory notes to July 31, 2026, and to permit Mr. Hatsopoulos to convert the balances of one or both of the promissory notes to cash, or at his discretion, the number of shares of Tecogen common stock determined by dividing the balance of the promissory note by the average closing price per share of our shares during the thirty-day period prior to the date of conversion.
The loans are required to be repaid in the event of a change of control of the company and upon the occurrence of an event of default under the note, including upon a failure to pay when due the principal and interest when due, or the commencement of voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.
As of December 31, 2024, we have outstanding accounts payable of $4,142,678, other accrued expenses of $2,890,886, lease obligations of $2,183,052, and acquisition liabilities of $1,911,312. If we are unable to generate sufficient funds from operations or raise additional financing, we may have insufficient funds to repay the loans from Messrs. Hatsopoulos and Lewis when they become due unless Mr. Hatsopoulos and Mr. Lewis are willing to extend the terms of the loan or renegotiate the terms, or accept payment by conversion to our shares, of which there can be no assurance.
We incur substantial legal, financial, accounting and other costs and expenses to operate as a public reporting company. We believe that these costs are a disproportionately larger percentage of our revenues than they are for many larger companies. In addition, the rules and regulations of the SEC impose significant requirements on public companies, including ongoing disclosure obligations and mandatory corporate governance practices. Our senior management and other personnel need to devote a substantial amount of time to ensure ongoing compliance with these requirements.

Also, we must be current in our SEC reporting obligations. If we seekobligations to listmaintain our stock for trading on a national securities exchange or be quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, we will be subject to additional disclosure and governance obligations.listing. There can be no assurance that we will continue to meet all of the public company requirements to which we are subject on a timely basis, or at all, or that our compliance costs will not continue to be material.
Because our common stock is not traded on a national securities exchange, our stock has limited liquidity and our ability to raise capital is impaired.
On June 19, 2020, we voluntarily delisted our common stock from Nasdaq and transitioned the quotation of our shares to OTC Markets Group Inc.’s OTCQX Best Market. Our common stock has been quoted on the OTC Markets Group Inc.’s OTCQX Best Market since June 19, 2020, under the symbol “TGEN”. We believe that trading “over the counter” has limited our stock’s liquidity and may impair our ability to raise additional capital. Also, and as a result, relatively small trades in our stock could have a disproportionate effect on our stock price.
As a public reporting company, we are subject to rules and regulations established from time to time by the SEC and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) regarding our disclosure controls and internal controlcontrols over financial reporting. If we fail to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures,procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or report them in a timely manner. Investor confidence in the price of our stock may be adversely affected if we are unable to comply with such rules and regulations.
As a public reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act, we are subject to the rules and regulations established from time to time by the SEC and the PCAOB. These rules and regulations require, among other things, that we establishmaintain disclosure controls and periodically evaluate procedures with respect to ourand internal controlcontrols over financial reporting. In addition, as a public company we are required to document and test our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) so that our management can certify as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, which requires us to document and our internal control over financial reporting.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (“certifying officer”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule15d-15(e)).
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (“certifying officers”) are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule15d-15(e)). Our certifying officerofficers designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under histheir supervision, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and is made known to management (including the certifying officer) by others within the company, including our subsidiaries. We regularly evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls quarterly in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and annually in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K. In completing such reporting, we will disclose, as appropriate, any significant change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal period that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Also, as a public company, we are subject to rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which require us to include in our annual report on Form 10-K our management’s report on, and assessment of the effectiveness of, our internal control over financial reporting (“management’s report”). If we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our disclosure control or internal controlcontrols over financial reporting, there is a risk that we will not comply with all of the requirements imposed by Section 404. Moreover, effective internal control over financial reporting, particularly that relate to revenue recognition, is necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and is important in helping to prevent financial fraud. Any of these possible outcomes could result in an adverse reaction in the financial marketplace due to a loss in investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which ultimately could harm our business and could negatively impact on the market price of our common stock. Investor confidence and the price of our common stock may be adversely affected if we are unable to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
As of the end of the period covered by our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer hashave concluded that there is a material weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to remediate these material weaknesses, if management identifies additional material weaknesses in the future, or if we otherwise fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial position or results of operations, which may adversely affect our business and stock price or cause our access to the capital markets to be impaired.
As of the end of the period covered by our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, our certifying officerofficers performed an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our controls were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Securities Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported when required. WeOur havemanagement, including our certifying officers, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025, due to material weakness with respect to a small number of employeesindividuals dealing with general controls over information technology, security and user access. This constitutes a material weakness in financial reporting.technology. Any failure to implement effective internal controls could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Inadequate internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock and may require us to incur additional costs to improve our internal control system.
We are committed to remediating the material weakness identified in internal controls over financial reporting and have begun the process to remediate this material weakness. Our efforts will focus on instituting mitigating controls to address segregation of duties; hiring of additional staff; implementing additional controls to address system access deficiencies; implementing additional controls over business operations; establishing independent review and verification procedures for our vendor and customer master files; enhancing the documentation to support review occurrences and approval procedures; and, commencing regular periodic reviews of our internal controls over financial reporting with our Board of Directors and Audit Committee to address the inadequate risk oversight function and institute procedures to evaluate and report on risks to financial reporting, including the documentation and completion of a comprehensive risk assessment to identify all potential risk areas and evaluate the adequacy of our controls to mitigate these risks.
In addition, on March 11, 2025, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to report, among other things, certain changes in the level of compensation for Mr. Panora, our President and COO, and the resignation of Mr. Gehret, our Vice President of Operations. Although Mr. Gehret remained with us as an employee until February 28, 2025, and then as a consultant until his duties were transferred to Mr. Panora, and subsequently determined we did not report Mr. Gehret’s resignation timely in accordance with the requirements of Form 8-K.
We continue to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures. We are continuing to improve our internal control over financial reporting which may require us to hire additional accounting and financial personnel to implement such processes and controls and to provide additional training to our existing personnel. We expect to incur costs related to implementing our internal compliance function to further improve our internal control environment.
We continue to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officer. We are continuing to improve our internal control over financial reporting which may require us to hire additional accounting and financial personnel to implement such processes and controls and to provide additional training for our existing personnel. We expect to incur costs related to implementing our internal audit and compliance function in the upcoming years to further improve our internal control environment. If we identify further deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting in the future or if we are unable to comply with the demands that will be placed upon us as a public company, including the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in a timely manner, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results, or report them within the timeframes required by the SEC. We also could become subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities.action. In addition, if we are unable to assert that our internal controlcontrols over financial reporting isare effective, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, we may face restricted access to the capital markets, and our stock price may be adversely affected.
Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may also become inadequate because of changes in our business, and weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods, undermine investor confidence in us, and adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the control system's objectives will be met.
Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the Delaware General Corporations Law (“DGCL”) contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying or preventing an acquisition that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock and therefore depress the trading price. These provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to take certain actions, including electing directors who are not nominated by the incumbent members of the board of directors or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes in our management. Among other things, our certificate of incorporation andbylaws, bylawsor includesDGCL include provisions that:

Uplist to NYSE American Stock Exchange
On April 30, 2025, we announced that our common stock had been approved for listing on the NYSE American LLC ("NYSE American") stock exchange. On May 6, 2025, our common stock began trading on the NYSE American under our current symbol "TGEN."
On February 28, 2025, we entered into a Sales and Marketing Agreement with Vertiv Corporation (“Vertiv”) relating to sales of Tecogen DTx chillers for data center cooling applications (the “Vertiv Agreement”). The Vertiv Agreement has a term of two years and provides that Vertiv will establishengage in establishing a budget for marketing activities and use commercially reasonable efforts to sell our DTx chillers for cooling applications in data centers. The Vertiv Agreement also provides the basis for the negotiation of a definitive supply agreement between us and Vertiv. We have agreed to provide Vertiv with reasonable discounts for purchases of significant volumes of our chillers, and Vertiv has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist us in securing favorable terms for engineering components and supplies for manufacturing our chillers. Pursuant to the Vertiv Agreement we have granted Vertiv the exclusive right to market and sell our DTx chillers for data center cooling applications outside the United States, and the non-exclusive right to market and sell our DTx chillers for such applications within the United States. We have also agreed to grant Vertiv the exclusive right to market and sell our DTx chillers for data center cooling applications in the United States if Vertiv achieves and maintains agreed sales levels of DTx chillers. The foregoing description of the Vertiv Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text thereof, a copy of which iswas filed as Exhibit 99.01 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 28, 2025, and incorporated by reference as Exhibit 10.30 hereto.2025.
On February 1, 2024, Tecogen and Aegis amended the Agreement to add eighteen (18) additional maintenance service agreements (the "First Amendment"). The First Amendment includes an undertaking by Aegis to use commercially reasonable efforts to support and assist our execution of maintenance service agreements for an additional thirty-six (36) cogeneration units sold to customers by Aegis.
In some key markets such as New York City, the regulatory push to eliminate fossil fuels from buildings has impacted cogeneration unit sales. We believe that as regulations take into account scope 2 emissions (site versus source emissions),and products like our hybrid chiller that can choose the cleanest fuel source will have a significant advantage in decarbonization efforts. The political environment following the 2024 elections in the United States mayhas havehad a material impact on anti-fossil fuel sentiment and the regulatory environment that mayis bemore favorable to our business. We have also diversified our sales activities to reduce our reliance on markets like New York City.
As more load is added to the utility grid in the form of data centers, EV charging, and other demands for power, customers are facing power constraints. Tecogen believes that these power constrainedpower-constrained customers, in particular data centers and industrial facilities, represent a significant opportunity for growth. The customer need is driven by the ability to expand an existing facility or open a new facility quickly while taking advantage of utility expense savings long term. Our chiller products can reduce the electrical capacity needed on-site by 30% or more. Our InVerde product can provide on-site power generation which allows customers to eliminate long lead times associated with electrical switch gear and bridge any short fall in power from the utility.
Residual Impacts of Covid-19 Pandemic
Supply chains were adversely impacted during Covid, resulting in significant delays or lack of availability of critical components such as engines. This has continued to have long term impact on product and service margins. The direct impact has been certain costs increasing faster than inflation. The indirect impact is from increased engine related costs in the service segment as replacements were deferred or overhauled components were used due to lack of parts. We have instituted a service price increase and have also been making engineering improvements to increase service intervals to increase gross margins.
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 received an order on February 8, 2024 for three hybrid-drive air-cooled chillers for a utility company in Florida.Florida which were shipped in the second and third quarter of 2025. In March 2024, the US Patent and Trademark Office granted patent 11,936,327: "Hybrid Power System With Electric Generator and Auxiliary Power Source."
Controlled Environment Agriculture
On July 20, 2022, we announced our intention to focus on opportunities for the use of our cogeneration equipment in low carbon Controlled Environment Agriculture ("CEA"). We believe that CEA offers an exciting opportunity to apply our expertise in clean cooling, power generation, and greenhouse gas reduction to address critical issues affecting food and energy security.
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.
In recent years our cogeneration equipment has been used in numerous cannabis cultivation facilities because our systems reduce the facility's need for power, significantly reduce operating costs and the facility GHG footprint, and offer resiliency to grid outages. 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.
We have no operations or customers in Russia, the Ukraine, or in the Middle East.East, including the recent military action in Iran. The higher energy prices for natural gas as a result of the war may affect the performance of our Energy Production Segment and the cost differential between grid generated energy and natural gas sourced energy using our cogeneration equipment. 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 and the conflict in the Middle East may result in higher cybersecurity risks, increased or ongoing supply chain challenges, and volatility related to the trading prices of commodities.
On October 9, 2023, we entered into note subscription agreements with each of John N. Hatsopoulos and Earl R. Lewis, III, each a director and shareholder of Tecogen,the Company, pursuant to which Mr. Hatsopoulos agreed to provide financing to us of up to $1 million,$1,000,000, and Mr. Lewis agreed to provide financing to us of $500,000, and at his discretionpotentially, an additional $500,000.$500,000 at his discretion. On October 10, 2023, we borrowed $500,000 from Mr. Hatsopoulos and issued him a one-year promissory note with interest accruing at 5.12% per annum. On July 23, 2024, we borrowed an additional $500,000 from Mr. Hatsopoulos, and executedissued a one-year promissory note with interest accruing at 5.06% per annum. On March 21, 2024, Johnwe H. Hatsopoulos amendedextended the termsmaturity date the of the promissory note,note dated October 10, 2023, extending the maturity date2023 by one year,one-year making the maturity date October 10, 2025. On September 18, 2024, we borrowed $500,000 from Mr. Lewis and issued him a one-year promissory note with interest accruing at 4.57% per annum.
On January 14, 20252025, we agreed to permit Mr. Lewis to either receive repayment of his note in cash or, at his discretion, convert the balance of the promissory note into shares of our common stock. In the event of such a conversion, the number of shares we will bewere required to be issue will beis determined by dividing the balance due under the promissory note by the average closing price per share of our shares during the thirty-day period prior to the date of conversion.
On February 18, 20252025, we amended the promissory notes with Mr. Hatsopoulos to extend the maturity dates for both promissory notes to July 31, 2026. We also agreed to permit Mr. Hatsopoulos to either receive repayment of his notes in cash, or,or at his discretion, convert the balancesbalance(s) due of one or both of the promissory notes into shares of our common stock. In the event of such a conversion, the number of shares we will bewere required to issue will beis determined by dividing the balance(s) due under the promissory note(s) by the average closing price per share of our shares during the thirty-day period prior to the date of conversion. Both of the promissory notes with Mr. Hatsopoulos were reclassified to long-term liabilities due to the February 18, 2025 amendment.
The promissory notes were repaid in full or converted to shares of our common stock in the year ended December 31, 2025. See Note 11."Related Party Notes" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Certain aspects of certain accounting policies require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. These aspects of these accounting policies are considered critical accounting policies. These policies may require management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the estimate or employ an estimate where alternative estimates could have also been employed, and may involve estimates that are reasonably likely to change with the passage of time. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they became known. In addition, management is periodically faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within its control and will not be known for prolonged periods of time. These uncertainties are discussed in "Item 1A," “Risk Factors" above.
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The allowance for credit losses is estimated based on historical experience, aging of the receivable, the counterparty’s ability to pay, condition of the general economy and industry, and combined with management's estimate of current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future losses to determine estimated credit losses in our evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable at the end of the year. The allowance for credit losses reflects managements evaluation of our outstanding accounts receivable at the end of the year and our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. Accounts receivable deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance for credit losses when identified.
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which range from P3Ythree to P15Yfifteen years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the term of the related leases. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed, while renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of an asset are capitalized.
During 2018, we adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-04 which simplified goodwill impairment testing by eliminating the requirement to determine the implied value of goodwill where a quantitative analysis indicates that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value.
At a minimum, we perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of the year. In the fourth quarter of 2024,2025, we performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test for our energy production reporting unit acquired in 2017. We used a discounted cash flow approach to develop the estimated fair value of that reporting unit. Management judgment is required in developing the assumptions for the discounted cash flow model. An impairment would be recorded if the carrying amount of a reporting unit including goodwill exceeded the estimated fair value. Based on the aforementioned analysis, the carrying amount of that reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeded the estimated fair value and resulted in an impairment at December 31, 2024.2025. See Note 6. "Sale of Energy Producing Assets and Goodwill Impairment".
The impairment analysis recognizes the shortening of remaining contract terms with customers without replacement and without further growth, as well as less than expected cost savings, offset by profitability from our initiatives to optimize the long-term profitability of our various site operations and a price peak of the our common stock on the date of the business combination to which the goodwill relates (see also Note 6."Sale of Energy Producing Assets and Goodwill Impairment").
In the fourth quarter of 2024,2025, we performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test for the Aegis maintenance service contracts reporting unit acquired in 2023 and 2024. We used a discounted cash flow approach to develop the estimated fair value of that reporting unit. Management judgment is required in developing the assumptions for the discounted cash flow model. An impairment would be recorded if the carrying amount of a reporting unit including goodwill exceeded the estimated fair value. Based on the aforementioned analysis, the estimated fair value of that reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeded the carrying value and resultingresulted in no impairment at December 31, 2024.2025. See Note 5. "Aegis Contract and Related Asset Acquisition".

Impact of Outlook Regarding Fossil Fuels
In some key markets such as New York City, the regulatory push to eliminate fossil fuels from buildings has impacted cogeneration unit sales. We believe that as regulations take into account scope 2 emissions and products like our hybrid chiller that can choose the cleanest fuel source will have a significant advantage in decarbonization efforts. The political environment following the 2024 elections in the United States may have a material impact on anti-fossil fuel sentiment and the regulatory environment that may be favorable to our business. We have also diversified our sales activities to reduce our reliance on markets like New York City.
Impact of Utility Power Constraints,Constraints and Data Center Construction
As more load is added to the utility grid in the form of data centers, EV charging, and other demands for power, customers are facing power constraints. Tecogen believes that these power constrainedpower-constrained customers, in particular data centers and industrial facilities, represent a significant opportunity for growth. The customer need is driven by the ability to expand an existing facility or open a new facility quickly while taking advantage of utility expense savings long term. Our chiller products can reduce the electrical capacity needed on-site by 30% or more. Our InVerde product can provide on-site power generation which allows customers to eliminate long lead times associated with electrical switch gear and bridge any short fall in power from the utility.

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 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 received an order on February 8, 2024 for three hybrid-drive air-cooled chillers for a utility company in Florida which were shipped in the second and third quarter of 2025. In March 2024, the US Patent and Trademark Office granted patent 11,936,327: "Hybrid Power System With Electric Generator and Auxiliary Power Source."
We have no operations or customers in Russia, the Ukraine, or in the Middle East.East, However,including disruptionsIran. in global energy supplies and volatility in global energy prices may continue to result inThe higher energy prices for natural gas as a result of these conflicts and may affect the performance of our Energy Production Segment and the cost differential between grid generated energy and natural gas sourced energy using our cogeneration equipment. WeHowever, 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 and the conflictconflicts in the Middle East, including the recent military actionsconflict in Iran, may result in higher cybersecurity risks, increased or ongoing supply chain challenges, and volatility related to the trading prices of commodities. We are continuing to evaluate the macroeconomic environment and our ability to mitigate the impact on our business, consolidated results of operations, and financial condition.
The majority of our vendors are domestic. Although we have some exposure to Chinese and European suppliers, we do not anticipate any increases in tariffs to materially affect our operations. On July 23, 2026, President Trump imposed a broad tariff on countries around the world and the European Union, replacing expiring 10.0% global tariffs with new tariffs of 10-12.5% on imported commodities. We do not anticipate that these tariff increases will materially affect our operations.
Our Growth Strategies
Artificial Intelligence Data Centers
We believe artificial intelligence data centers represent a significant growth opportunity for Tecogen because our chiller and on-site power generation solutions can help alleviate power constraints faced by data centers. By using our natural gas cooling systems instead of an electric cooling system, a data center can increase the amount of available power for computing. This increase in available power has the potential to increase a data center’s revenue and profits.
A single data center could use upwards of 10,000 tons of cooling which would require approximately 20 Tecogen DTx chillers or 36 of our dual power source chillers, which could exceed our average historical annual product sales. An electric chiller plant of a similar size would require approximately 12MW of power allocation (electric chiller full load 1.1 to 1.2KW/refrigeration ton for air cooled chillers). This could represent up to $28 million in lost revenue to a data center based on current rental rates for data centers (national average of $195.94/KW/month based upon the CBRE North American Data Center Trends H2 2025). If this power is allocated to an electric chiller, it is not available for computing, reducing the revenue potential of a data center by a commensurate amount.
On February 28, 2025, to begin marketing our product solutions to data centers, we signed a global partnership agreement with Vertiv Corporation (“Vertiv”) for the marketing and sale of our products for data center cooling applications in the U.S. and abroad. We agreed to provide Vertiv with reasonable discounts for purchases of significant volumes of our chillers, and Vertiv agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist us in securing favorable terms for engineering components and supplies for manufacturing our chillers. Pursuant to the Vertiv Agreement we have granted Vertiv the exclusive right to market and sell our DTx chillers for data center cooling applications outside the United States, and the non-exclusive right to market and sell our chillers for such applications within the United States. We have also agreed to grant Vertiv the exclusive right to market and sell our DTx chillers for data center cooling applications in the United States if Vertiv achieves and maintains agreed sales levels. The foregoing description of the Vertiv Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text thereof, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 99.01 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 28, 2025.Vertiv is a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, including for data and communications centers.
Although there can be no assurance, management believes that, if we are able to penetrate the data center market, the data center market may represent a significant revenue growth opportunity for us. At the end of 2025, 5,994 MW of new data center capacity was in construction. See CBRE North America Data Center Trends H2 2025. Construction activity was driven in part by robust demand and extended timelines due to power constraints at existing data centers. Power consumption and the requisite cooling requirements have been increasing with each new generation of chips. For example, the maximum thermal design power for the Rubin architecture increased to 2.3KW in 2026 (from 1.4KW for the Blackwell Ultra in 2025 (and is expected to increase to 4.0KW for Rubin Ultra chips in 2027).
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 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 (which can be blended as desired). In some cases, if data centers can shed load on demand from electric utilities, they are likely to reduce the time it takes to get power from electric utilities. See Flexible Data Centers: A Faster, More Affordable Path to Power December 2025.
We introduced the Tecochill Hybrid-Drive Air-Cooled Chiller at the AHR Expo in February 2023 and received an order on February 8, 2024, for three hybrid-drive air-cooled chillers for a utility company in Florida which were shipped in the second and third quarter of 2025. In March 2024, the US Patent and Trademark Office granted patent 11,936,327: "Hybrid Power System With Electric Generator and Auxiliary Power Source.
Our chillers also provide customers with reduced operating costs compared to an equivalent electric chiller. In many of the regions in which we operate, such as New England and New York, the prevailing electricity prices can exceed $0.16/kWh while the equivalent natural gas costs are less than $0.04/kWh. Typically, chiller projects also have the advantage of faster construction timelines than power generation projects because there is limited electrical work needed. Our chiller solutions can be deployed as retrofits or as part of new construction.
If further power is needed, our on-site power generation systems also offer some unique advantages for data centers. Our InVerde cogeneration units are modular, inverter based and UL certified. They can be installed indoors or outdoors and include the CERTs microgrid algorithm. During off-grid operation, the CERTS microgrid algorithm provides stable control of reactive power and the microgrid as a whole by eliminating destabilizing circulating currents between generation sources.
Using a modular inverter-based system means a cluster of power generation units can be sited close to the point of use and be dedicated to a section of a building or a data center. A modular design also reduces the risk of a single failure point and is less susceptible to electrical conversion and distribution losses.
Our chiller and on-site power generation systems are equipped as standard with our patented Ultera emissions packages. This allows simplified air-permitting in many parts of the country including California and Massachusetts.
The Berkley Lab 2024 United States Data Center Energy Usage Report predicts that the co-location and hyperscale data centers will represent 80% or more of data centers by 2028 and consume 90% of the electricity consumed by data centers.
During the months of July and August, 2026, we hosted twelve (12) demonstrations of our dual-sourced air-cooled chiller to hyperscale data center operators and data center contractors and partners.
Controlled Environment Agriculture
On July 20, 2022, we announced our intention to focus on opportunities for the use of our cogeneration equipment in low carbon Controlled Environment Agriculture ("CEA"). We believe that CEA offers an exciting opportunity to apply our expertise in clean cooling, power generation, and greenhouse gas (“GHG”) reduction to address critical issues affecting food and energy security.
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.
In recent years, our cogeneration equipment has been used in numerous cannabis cultivation facilities because our systems reduce the facility's need for power, significantly reduce operating costs and the facility GHG footprint, and offer resiliency to grid outages. 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 believe to be transferable to CEA facilities for food production.
