Organization and Description of Business |
Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business Ideal Power Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Texas on May 17, 2007 under the name Ideal Power Converters, Inc. The Company changed its name to Ideal Power Inc. on July 8, 2013 and re-incorporated in Delaware on July 15, 2013. The Company is located in Austin, Texas. Prior to 2019, the Company developed power conversion solutions with a focus on solar and storage, microgrid and stand-alone energy storage applications. The principal products of the Company were 30‑kilowatt power conversion systems, including 2‑port and multi-port products. On April 16, 2018, the Company realigned into two operating divisions: Power Conversion Systems, to continue the commercialization of its PPSA™ technology, and B-TRAN, to develop its Bi-directional bi-polar junction TRANsistor (B-TRAN™) solid state switch technology. On January 2, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved a strategic shift to focus on the further development and commercialization of its B-TRAN™ technology and a plan to suspend further power converter system development and sales while the Company located a buyer for its power conversion systems division. On September 19, 2019, the Company closed on the sale of its power conversion systems division and is now solely focused on the further development and commercialization of its B-TRAN(TM) technology. See Note 3. Since its inception, the Company has generated limited revenues from the sale of products and has financed its research and development efforts and operations primarily through the sale of common stock. The Company’s continued operations are dependent upon its ability to obtain adequate sources of funding through future revenues, equity and debt financing, co-development agreements, government grants, sale or licensing of developed intellectual property or other alternatives. |
