NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Business and Organization
Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc., along with its consolidated operating subsidiary Capstone Green Energy LLC (“Capstone,” “We” or the “Company”) (f/k/a Capstone Turbine International, Inc.) is a provider of customized microgrid solutions, on-site resilient Energy-as-a-Service (“EaaS”) solutions, and on-site energy technology systems focused on helping customers around the globe solve the “Energy Trilemma” of resiliency, sustainability, and affordability. These solutions include stationary distributed power generation applications and distribution networks, including cogeneration (combined heat and power (“CHP”)), integrated combined heat and power (“ICHP”), and combined cooling, heat and power (“CCHP”), renewable energy, natural resources, and critical power supply. The Company’s inverter-based technologies solve resiliency by being able to seamlessly connect to the electric grid or be the backbone of a localized microgrid. The Company’s Energy Conversion Products business line is driven by the Company’s industry-leading, highly efficient, low-emission, resilient microturbine energy systems offering scalable solutions in addition to a broad range of customer-tailored solutions. Through the EaaS business line the Company offers build, own, operate and maintain (“BOOM”) as well as energy rental solutions utilizing the Company’s microturbine energy systems. The Company offers comprehensive factory protection plan service contracts that limit life-cycle costs, as well as providing aftermarket spare parts. The Company’s emerging business line is Hydrogen Energy Solutions. Through the Hydrogen Energy Solutions business line, the Company offers customers the ability to run on hydrogen blended fuel source. Because these are still emerging offerings, Hydrogen Energy Solutions revenue has been immaterial to date.
Historically, the business described above was conducted by Capstone Green Energy Corporation, which was organized in 1988 and has had been commercially producing its microturbine generators since 1998. In connection with emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases (as defined below), Capstone Green Energy Corporation was reorganized pursuant to the Transaction Support Agreement dated September 28, 2023 by and among the Debtors (as defined below), Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group, L.P. and Broad Street Credit Holdings LLC (the “TSA”) and became a privately-held company that continues to own the Retained Assets (as defined below). Capstone Turbine International, Inc., a former wholly-owned subsidiary of Capstone Green Energy Corporation, which was incorporated in Delaware on June 10, 2004, became a publicly-traded company and was renamed Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc. In addition, Capstone Green Energy LLC (the “Operating Subsidiary”) was formed as a result of the Plan.
2. Basis of Presentation, Significant Accounting Policies and Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2023 was derived from audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the full year. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 13, 2024. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) refers to the Company’s fiscal years ending March 31 as its “Fiscal” years.
Basis for Consolidation In connection with the Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) (as defined in Note 3— Chapter 11 Proceedings and Emergence), on December 7, 2023, Capstone Green Energy Corporation completed a series of transactions pursuant to which, among other things, Capstone Turbine International, Inc. was renamed “Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc.” and became the successor to Capstone Green Energy Corporation for SEC reporting purposes by operation of Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this filing include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Subsidiary and Capstone
7
Turbine Financial Services, LLC, its wholly owned subsidiary that was formed in October 2015, after elimination of inter-company transactions.
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Operating Subsidiary Noncontrolling interests in the Company’s consolidated Operating Subsidiary represent the equity interests held by a related third party. Refer to Note 3— Chapter 11 Proceedings and Emergence for details on the formation of the Operating Subsidiary. The noncontrolling interests in the consolidated Operating Subsidiary are redeemable and are presented as temporary equity in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Refer to Note 9— Temporary Equity for details of the noncontrolling interests. The Company accounts for the noncontrolling interest using the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method to attribute the earnings of the consolidated Operating Subsidiary between the controlling and noncontrolling interests. Under the HLBV method, the amounts reported as noncontrolling interests in the consolidated Operating Subsidiary on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represent the amounts the noncontrolling interests would hypothetically receive at each balance sheet reporting date under the liquidation provisions of the governing agreements assuming the net assets of the consolidated Operating Subsidiary were liquidated at recorded amounts and distributed between the controlling and noncontrolling interests in accordance with the governing documents. The net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Subsidiary on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations is associated with the increase or decrease in the noncontrolling interest holders’ contractual claims on the respective entities’ balance sheets assuming a hypothetical liquidation at the end of that reporting period when compared with their claims on the respective entities’ balance sheets assuming a hypothetical liquidation at the beginning of that reporting period, after removing the impact of any contributions or distributions.
Prior to the emergence from bankruptcy, the Company recorded a gain on debt extinguishment, as detailed in Note 3— Chapter 11 Proceedings and Emergence, of $
Reclassification Certain items in prior financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation and provide comparability but have no effect on the reported results of operations. The Company reclassified certain revenue stream and cost of goods sold on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 to conform to the presentation of the current period. The reclassification has not materially impacted the Company’s financial statements and did not result in a change in total revenue, net income or cash flows from operations for the periods presented.
Significant Accounting Policies Except as described below, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal Year 2023 filed with the SEC, that have had a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Bankruptcy Accounting The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared as if the Company were a going concern and in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 852— Reorganizations (“ASC 852”). See Note 3 – Chapter 11 Proceedings and Emergence for further details regarding the bankruptcy. At emergence from Chapter 11, the Company evaluated the criteria to apply fresh-start accounting under ASC 852 and determined that pre-petition shareholders maintained control of the Company following the restructuring transactions contemplated within the Company’s Plan of Reorganization. As the pre-petition shareholders did not lose control, fresh-start accounting did not apply and the existing carrying values and activities continued as the reporting entity did not change. In addition, the Company has classified all income, expenses, gains or losses that were incurred or realized as a result of the proceedings since filing for Chapter 11 as “Reorganization Items, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Segment Reporting The Company determines its reporting units in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”). The Company evaluates a reporting segment by first identifying its operating segments under ASC 280. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company defines its CODM to be the Chief Executive Officer. The Company is considered to be a single reporting segment. The business activities of this reporting segment are the development, manufacture and sale of turbine generator sets and their related parts and service.

Going Concern In connection with the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of the financial statements. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $
On September 28, 2023, the Company filed for a prepackaged financial restructuring with its Senior Lender, Goldman Sachs under the U.S. Chapter 11 Bankruptcy laws, as further discussed in Note 3— Chapter 11 Proceedings and Emergence in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company emerged from Bankruptcy on December 7, 2023 and effected a financial and organizational restructuring. However, given its current cash position, lack of liquidity, limits to accessing capital and debt funding options, and current economic and market risks, there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and its ability to meet its financial obligations as they become due over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of the financial statements as of, and for the period ended December 31, 2023.
Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Loss On April 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Topic No. 326— Credit Loss, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) The CECL model applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including accounts receivable. Under the CECL model, the Company identifies allowances for credit losses based on future expected losses when accounts receivable are created rather than when losses are probable.
The Company applies the aging method by pooling receivables based on levels of delinquency and applying historical loss rates on what has been historically uncollectible by aging categories. The historical loss rate is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future losses, as necessary. Additionally, the allowance for credit loss calculation includes subjective adjustments for qualitative risk factors that could likely cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical experience. The factors include assessments of various economic conditions, significant events that occurred, geographic location, size and credit ratings of the customers. The Company may also record a specific reserve for individual accounts when the Company becomes aware of specific customer circumstances, such as in the case of a bankruptcy filing or deterioration in the customer's operating results or financial position. Accounts deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance for credit loss. Refer to Note 5- Customer Concentrations and Accounts Receivable in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details of the allowance for credit loss recorded.
Temporary Equity Where common or preferred shares are determined to be conditionally redeemable upon the occurrence of certain events that are not solely within the control of the Company, and upon such event, the shares would become redeemable at the option of the holders, they are classified as temporary equity (‘mezzanine equity’), outside permanent equity. The purpose of this classification is to convey that such a security may not be permanently part of equity and could result in a demand for cash, securities or other assets of the entity in the future. If the events are such that the shares are probable of becoming redeemable, then the Company will adjust the shares to reflect the maximum redemption value at the end of the reporting period.
3. Chapter 11 Proceedings and Emergence
Voluntary Filing under Chapter 11
Plan of Reorganization— On September 28, 2023 (the “Petition Date”), Capstone Green Energy Corporation and its wholly owned direct subsidiaries, Capstone Turbine International, Inc. and Capstone Turbine Financial Services, LLC (the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 proceedings were jointly administered under the caption, In re Capstone Green Energy Corporation, Inc., et al. as Case No. 23-11634 (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). The Debtors continued to operate their business in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. At hearings before the Bankruptcy Court on September 29, 2023, the Debtors obtained approval from the Bankruptcy Court of certain “first day” motions containing customary relief intended to assure the Debtors’ ability to continue their ordinary course operations during the Chapter 11 Cases. As a result, from the Petition Date through December 7, 2023 (the “Effective Date” and “Emergence”),
9
the Debtors operated as a debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) under the protection of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court following filings by the Debtors of voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court.
Concurrent with the petition, the Debtors entered into the TSA with the pre-petition senior secured creditor, Broad Street Credit Holdings, LLC. (“Broad Street”), and Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group, L.P. (the “Collateral Agent”). The TSA, among other things, provided that Broad Street and the Collateral Agent would support the Debtors’ restructuring efforts as set forth in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the TSA. The TSA contained customary conditions, representations, and warranties of the parties and is subject to a number of conditions, including, among others, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties and compliance with the obligations set forth in the TSA. The TSA also provided for termination by the parties upon the occurrence of certain events.
Overview of the Plan— On September 28, 2023, the Debtors filed their Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Capstone Green Energy Corporation and its Debtor Affiliates (the “Plan”) and Disclosure Statement for the Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the “Disclosure Statement”). On October 24, 2023, a Plan supplement was filed, which included schedules for enterprise valuations, assumed and rejected executory contracts, among other updates. Additional updates were filed in early November 2023 for the completion of schedules and exhibits containing information including governance documents, service contracts and other asset listing materials. On November 13, 2023, the Court held a combined hearing to consider approval of the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement and confirmation of the Plan.

Nasdaq Delisting of Common Stock— Effective at the opening of the trading session on October 5, 2023, the Company’s common stock was suspended from trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Effective October 23, 2023, the Company’s common stock was delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Basis of Presentation— Effective on the Petition Date, the Company applied accounting standards applicable to reorganizations, ASC 852, in preparing the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2023, which requires the financial statements, for periods subsequent to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, to distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain charges related to the Chapter 11 Cases were recorded as Reorganization items, net in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement of Operations. All pre-petition obligations of the Debtors that were impacted by the Chapter 11 Cases that were previously classified as Liabilities Subject to Compromise (“LSTC”) were resolved at Emergence.
Gain on Extinguishment of Debt at Emergence— In accordance with ASC 470, Debt, on December 7, 2023, the Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt that was recorded in Reorganization items, net in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement of Operations. The components of the gain were as follows (in thousands):
Pre-petition senior secured principal | $ | |
Accrued interest and fees on pre-petition senior secured principal | | |
Additional New Money DIP Notes |

DIP commitment fee | | |
DIP PIK interest (post-petition interest) | | |
New Money Exit Notes | | |
Fair value of Preferred Units of Operating Subsidiary exchanged | ( | |
Fair value of Exit Notes and net retained assets | ( | |
Total gain from debt extinguishment | $ | |
The Net Operating Losses (the “NOLs”) that were provided through the transfer of ownership of Capstone Green Energy Corporation, which held all of the tax attributes, including the NOLs had a full valuation allowance against them and did not have any value to Capstone Green Energy Corporation immediately prior to the Effective Date. Refer to Note 8— Income Taxes in the Company’s previously issued financial statements included in its Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.
Fresh-Start Applicability— On December 7, 2023, the Company evaluated the criteria to apply fresh-start accounting under ASC 852 and determined the pre-petition shareholders maintained control of the Company during and after the reorganization and did not lose control as a result of the reorganization. As pre-petition shareholders did not lose control, fresh-start did not apply and historical activities and balances remained at carrying value. At Emergence, the restructured debt was treated as a debt extinguishment and the shareholders’ equity was revised to reflect the new common stock of Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc.
Reorganization Items— Reorganization items represent the direct and incremental costs related to the Company’s Chapter 11 cases, such as professional fees, pre-petition liability claim adjustments and losses that are probable and can be estimated, net of interest income earned on accumulated cash during the Chapter 11 process and net gains on the sale of assets or resulting from certain settlement agreements related to the Company’s restructuring activities. The Company’s restructuring activities resulted in additional charges and other adjustments for expected allowed claims (including claims that may be subsequently allowed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court) and other reorganization items that were material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations during the period.
