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. With headquarters near Austin, Texas, it develops power converter solutions for commercial and industrial grid storage, electric vehicle fast charging and photovoltaic generation. The principal products of the Company are battery converters and, to a lesser extent, photovoltaic inverters. 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 issuance of convertible debt, governmental grants and, recently, proceeds from its initial public offering. |
