Q&A:

• Question from Jacob Stephan (Lake Street): Just first, in the press release, you guys talked about a significant prominent leader in safety code standardization time line. I'm wondering if you could kind of touch on that a little bit. What kind of specific milestones kind of remain to the overall kind of standardization?
  Response: Management is progressing with 10 votes already in the National Electrical Code and a historical vote by ANSI and NEMA; they are one step away from a mandatory standard, with efforts to engage government safety organizations to expedite the process.

• Question from Jacob Stephan (Lake Street): So I guess when you kind of look at the path to cash flow positive that you guys are talking to, I think looking at the cash OpEx kind of line, it looks like $13 million of kind of OpEx on a quarterly basis, assuming kind of 30% gross margins. Is a good quarterly kind of revenue number that gets you to the cash flow breakeven? Is that like $35 million, if I'm backing into the numbers correctly?
  Response: Management believes the required quarterly revenue to reach cash flow breakeven will be lower than $35 million, as they are launching products with higher gross margins and joint ventures globally, and expects the Turbo Heater Fan to be a catalyst.

• Question from Jacob Stephan (Lake Street): But the overall kind of hotel channel, I know that's kind of an exciting opportunity for you guys. But I guess, from an actual improvement standpoint, how interest rate sensitive is that market?
  Response: Management believes the time-saving and labor cost-saving aspect of their product for hotel renovations is a major benefit, though no specific mention of interest rate sensitivity was provided.

• Question from Barry Sine (Litchfield): First, if we could give us a rough breakdown. How much of the revenue in 2025 came from smart plug-related products? And how much from traditional lighting fixtures from all the websites you have?
  Response: Over 90% of revenue in 2025 came from the legacy (traditional lighting) business, but smart plug products are growing rapidly, with the goal to increase their percentage significantly in 2026.

• Question from Barry Sine (Litchfield): And then you've announced a number of major construction projects, either in new housing or hotels. And I'm having trouble keeping track of -- there are so many of them. If you could give us a recap, how many major projects are you going into now? How many units would that be? And where are we in terms of construction? Which ones are actually ready to start taking Smart plug products?
  Response: Management has announced around 12 projects in the past 10 months, with an estimated total of around 1 million products to be supplied across these projects in 2026, including significant ones like the $4 billion smart city project in Miami and projects in Texas and New York.

• Question from Barry Sine (Litchfield): So it sounds like given the visibility on all of those projects, you said a minute ago that smart plugs are about 10% of your revenue. It sounds like that's going to increase very dramatically this year and then the implications for margins are quite positive. So the financial outlook for 2026 to me looks very different than 2025. Is that a fair characterization?
  Response: Management agrees that the financial outlook for 2026 is expected to be different, with the goal to grow smart plug revenue beyond 10% and achieve significant margin improvements.

• Question from Barry Sine (Litchfield): In the press release, on the second page is a bullet point on the bottom about insurance companies. And you have a number of ways to drive mandatory usage of your products and one would be through insurance companies mandating the usage. In the release, it said that you would expect this to happen once you complete an entire range in variations of the advanced plug-and-play products. What is your time line to complete the entire range of Smart plug products?
  Response: Management estimates they are about 80% complete with the product range, with discussions already underway with insurance companies, and the all-in-one smart hub platform is generating significant excitement.

• Question from Patrick McCann (Firm not specified): I was curious about the -- with the Smart Heater Fan, from your press releases and so forth, I believe it really -- it didn't hit for the majority of Q4, so it wasn't able to have the full effect on your results. But I know that was expected to be a fairly significant catalyst when it came to breaking even on operating cash flow. So I was curious what -- how that's going so far in Q1? How much of that -- how much will that affect your path to cash flow positive here in Q1, especially with Q1 still having been in -- largely in the winter months where there would be that demand for something like that. I was just wondering if you could have any thoughts on where that stands? Is it being well received? Is it meeting expectations now that it has -- you've gone to market with it for a bit of time now?
  Response: Management is seeing great signs and indications for the Turbo Heater Fan, with demand for larger sizes and different designs; it is performing well even in March, and is considered a main catalyst for achieving cash flow positivity.

• Question from Patrick McCann (Firm not specified): And then my other question is regarding the big box retailers like Home Depot and Walmart and so forth. I was wondering if you could give -- just clarify what the current situation is between having the slate of products on their websites versus what tends to be available in store, widely available in all or many locations?
  Response: Management has a branded page with Home Depot and is in discussions with several big boxes to land products in stores, with the potential for a single color selection to be game-changing for sales.

Okay, let's see. The user wants me to rewrite the input into one concise earnings-call question. The input is: "What is the revenue breakdown between smart plug products and traditional lighting fixtures for 2025?" First, I need to check if this is already a question. Yes, it starts with "What" and ends with a question mark. But maybe it can be made more concise. The key elements here are revenue breakdown, smart plug products, traditional lighting fixtures, and 2025.The original question is pretty clear, but maybe "revenue breakdown between" can be phrased more succinctly. Perhaps "revenue distribution" instead of "breakdown between"? Also, "for 2025" is correct, but in earnings calls, they often refer to fiscal years, so maybe specifying "fiscal 2025" would be better. However, the input doesn't mention fiscal year, so I shouldn't assume that. Another angle: "smart plug products" and "traditional lighting fixtures" are the two categories. The question is about how revenue is split between them. The original question is already quite direct. Maybe shortening "What is the revenue breakdown between..." to "What was the revenue split between..."? But "split" might be less formal. The user might prefer to keep "breakdown."Also, the user's hard rules state that if the input is already a clear question, output it as-is. But since the instruction says to rewrite if possible, and the input is a valid question, but maybe can be made more concise. Let me check if there's redundancy. "What is the revenue breakdown between A and B for 2025?" That's clear. Maybe "revenue by product line" but the original specifies the two products. Alternatively, "What portion of 2025 revenue came from smart plug products versus traditional lighting fixtures?" But that's a bit longer. The original is more concise. The user wants exactly one line, so maybe the original is acceptable. But the instruction says to rewrite if possible. However, the input is already a clear, specific question. The user's rule says if it's already a clear question, output as-is. Wait, the instruction says: "If the input is NOT a question, is too vague, or lacks enough information to form a clear earnings-call question, output the input EXACTLY as-is..." So if it is a valid question, we should rewrite it. Wait, no: the rule says if it's not a question, too vague, or lacks info, then output as-is. Otherwise, we must rewrite into one concise question. Wait, the instruction says "Rewrite the input into ONE concise earnings-call question." So regardless of whether it's already a question, we need to rewrite it into a concise one. But if it's already a clear question and can't be made more concise without losing meaning, then perhaps output it as is. However, the user's example might show that even if it's a question, they want it rewritten. Let me check the example given. The input is a question, and the output is a rewritten version. For example, if input is "Can you tell me about the revenue from smart plugs in 2025?" the output might be "What was the revenue from smart plug products in 2025?" So in this case, the original input is "What is the revenue breakdown between smart plug products and traditional lighting fixtures for 2025?" Maybe it's already concise enough. But maybe "breakdown between" can be "split between" or "distribution between." Alternatively, "revenue by product category" but the original specifies the two products. So perhaps the original is already the best concise version. Therefore, according to the rules, if a rewrite is possible, output with a question mark. Since the original is a valid question, but maybe it's already concise. Wait, the user's instruction says to output exactly one line, only the final question text, ending with "?" if a rewrite is possible. So if the input is a question and can be rewritten, then do so. If not, output as-is. So in this case, the input is a valid question. Can it be rewritten? Maybe. Let me see. The original is: "What is the revenue breakdown between smart plug products and traditional lighting fixtures for 2025?" A possible rewrite could be: "What was the revenue split between smart plug products and traditional lighting fixtures in 2025?" But "split" is shorter than "breakdown between." Alternatively, "How much revenue did smart plug products and traditional lighting fixtures generate in 2025?" But that's not a breakdown. The original question is about the breakdown between the two. So maybe the original is already the most concise. Alternatively, "What is the 2025 revenue distribution between smart plug - Barry Sine (Analyst)
