ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS | NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Coda Octopus Group, Inc. (“Coda,” “the Company,” or “we”) operates two distinct operating business units. These are the Marine Technology Business (“Products Business”, “Products Operations” or “Products Segment”) and the Marine Engineering Business (“Services Business”, “Engineering Business”; “Engineering Operations” or “Services Segment”). The Marine Technology Business sells technology solutions to the subsea and underwater markets. These solutions are designed, developed, manufactured and supported by the Company. Among the solutions which it offers to the market and currently its main revenue generating product, is its real time 3D volumetric imaging sonar which is a patented and leading product in the subsea/underwater market. This product is marketed under the name Echoscope® and Echoscope PIPE®, PIPE being an acronym for Parallel Intelligent Processing Engine. It also recently launched a new diver management system (Diver Augmented Vision Display (DAVD)) addressing the global defense and commercial diving market and which it believes is a significant part of its growth pillars. The requirements for the DAVD system emanated from Office of Naval Research and the concept of using a pair of transparent glasses in the Head up Display (HUD) underwater is patented and licensed to the Company by United States Department of the Navy at Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division. The Marine Engineering Business are sub-contractors to prime defense contractors and generally supplies proprietary sub-assemblies to these Primes for incorporation into broader mission critical defense systems. These parts typically are supplied for the life of the program to which they pertain. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coda Octopus Group, Inc. and our domestic and foreign subsidiaries based outside of the US. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
