Geographic Expansion: The company is focusing on Texas for its Edge Data Centers and has deployed a 150-megawatt power plant in Mexico.
Asset Management Agreement (AMA): The AMA with APR Energy has stabilized financials, generating $4.76 million in recurring revenue in Q2 2025. The company has deployed 550 megawatts of power in six months, including a 150-megawatt plant in Mexico and turbines for a U.S.-based data center.

Capitalization and Growth: Raised over $50 million in the past 15 months, enabling expansion into new markets and supporting growth strategies.
Railcar Inspection Portal business: The Railcar Inspection Portal business has been largely flat, with slow progress and modest uptick in interest. The speed of adoption by the rail industry and the company's ability to influence the industry are limited, which may not align with shareholder return expectations.
Cost structure and operational efficiency: The company is carefully evaluating its cost structure across its three subsidiaries to achieve economies of scale. However, there is a risk of inefficiencies and challenges in rationalizing costs while meeting the increased requirements of new businesses.
Dependence on APR Energy asset management agreement: The company's financial improvement is heavily reliant on the asset management agreement with APR Energy. Any disruption or underperformance in this agreement could adversely impact recurring revenues and financial stability.
Edge Data Center (EDC) business execution: While the EDC business is expanding, there are execution risks associated with simultaneous installations, manufacturing timelines, and ensuring financial assumptions are met. Delays or cost overruns could impact profitability.
Capital allocation and financial sustainability: The company has raised significant capital and retired debt, but there is a risk of over-reliance on external funding. Mismanagement of capital or inability to generate sufficient returns could affect long-term financial sustainability.

The company is accelerating its EDC business with further installations and staff expansion.
Asset Management Agreement (AMA) with APR Energy: The AMA is expected to provide steady recurring revenue in the near term.
