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 (also referred to in this Form 10-Q as “Products Business,” or “Products Segment”) and the Marine Engineering Business (also referred to in this Form 10-Q as “Services Business,” “Engineering Business” or “Services Segment”). The Marine Technology Business sells and rents technology solutions to the subsea and underwater markets. These solutions are designed, developed, manufactured, and supported by the Company. Its main revenue generating product is its Echoscope® real time 3D imaging sonar series which includes its latest generation Echoscope PIPE® (Parallel Intelligent Processing Engine) which is the most advanced within its sonar series. In 2021, the Marine Technology Business launched a new diver management system (Diver Augmented Vision Display (“DAVD”)) for use in the global defense and commercial diving markets and which is a significant part of the Company’s growth plans. The requirements for the DAVD system emanated from the Office of Naval Research as part of its Future Naval Requirements Program. The DAVD embeds inside of the diver Head up Display (HUD) a pair of transparent glasses which is used as the data hub for displaying real time data to the diver. The concept of using a pair of transparent glasses as a data hub in the Head up Display (HUD) underwater is protected by patent and licensed to the Company by the United States Department of the Navy at Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division. The Marine Engineering Business is an established sub-contractor to prime defense contractors and generally supplies proprietary sub-assemblies for incorporation into broader mission critical defense systems. These sub-assemblies are typically supplied for the life of the program. The Marine Engineering Business’ scope of services for these defense programs typically extends to concept, design, prototype and manufacture. The manufacturing contracts for these sub-assemblies can run over many years. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coda Octopus Group, Inc. and its wholly owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues including unbilled and deferred revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates related to the percentage of completion method used to account for contracts, including costs and earnings in excess of billings and billings in excess of costs, estimated earnings and the valuation of goodwill.
