Organization and Description of Business |
Organization and Description of Business | Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business ClearSign Technologies Corporation (“ClearSign” or the “Company”) designs and develops products and technologies for the purpose of decarbonization and improving key performance characteristics of industrial and commercial systems, including operational performance, energy efficiency, emission reduction, safety, and overall cost-effectiveness. The Company’s patented technologies are designed to be embedded in established original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) products as ClearSign Core™ and ClearSign Eye and other sensing configurations in order to enhance the performance of combustion systems and fuel safety systems in a broad range of markets. These markets include energy (upstream oil production and down-stream refining), commercial/industrial boiler, chemical, petrochemical, transport and power industries. The Company’s primary technology is its ClearSign Core™ technology, which achieves very low emissions without the need of selective catalytic reduction. The Company was originally incorporated in the State of Washington in 2008. During January 2022, the Company relocated its headquarters from Seattle, Washington to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Effective June 15, 2023, the Company changed its state of incorporation to Delaware. On July 28, 2017, the Company incorporated a subsidiary, ClearSign Asia Limited, in Hong Kong to represent the Company’s business and technological interests throughout Asia. Through ClearSign Asia Limited, the Company has established a wholly foreign owned enterprise in China – ClearSign Combustion (Beijing) Environmental Technologies Co., LTD. On August 22, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized management to move forward with filing for dormancy with Chinese regulators to suspend the Company’s Beijing, China operations. A dormancy filing allows the Company to keep its China legal entity in a suspended status for up to three years. The Company can revive its China operations at any time during those three years with minimal cost impact. The effective date of our dormancy filing was March 12, 2025. Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “ClearSign” and the “Company” refer to ClearSign Technologies Corporation and its subsidiary, ClearSign Asia Limited. Business Segments The Company operates in one operating and reportable segment engaged in the design, development and sale of combustion technologies that improve the performance and cost-effectiveness of industrial combustion systems, referred to herein as the “Combustion” segment. The Company manages its business activities on a consolidated basis. Since the operations comprise a single reportable segment, amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows represent the activities of the Combustion segment. ​ The Combustion segment derives revenues by delivering products and technology solutions to OEM’s and end-users. Our products and solutions can be incorporated into a new or existing customer infrastructure or equipment. Customer contracts can include multiple billing milestones and performance obligations. The Company can typically satisfy its performance obligations within a twelve month period, but customer project delays, some of which can be beyond the Company’s control, can impact timing of performance and there is no assurance we will satisfy all performance obligations in such period of time. ​ The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), reviews quarterly financial information on a consolidated basis for making operating decisions, allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The CODM consistently reviews the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss to manage operations and monitor performance against management expectations. Factors considered by the CODM when assessing a reportable segment include factors such as, but not limited to, human capital, intellectual property, customer relationships and business model design. ​ Substantially all the Company’s operating activities, including its long-lived assets, are located within the United States. Customers in the United States accounted for 100% of revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The Company disaggregates geographical revenues by selling location, since many of our target customers are global entities, and it would be more likely than not, that these customers would negotiate sales within our current territory in the United States.
