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 (“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 GAAP for complete financial statements. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2025, 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, 2025. 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, 2025, filed with the SEC on June 27, 2025. 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 The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this filing include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Subsidiary, Capstone Turbine Financial Services, LLC, its wholly owned subsidiary formed in October 2015, and Cal Microturbine LLC (“Cal Microturbine”) after elimination of inter-company transactions.

 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 financial statements.

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 2025 filed with the SEC, that have had a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 19 – Business Combinations in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on our acquisition of Cal Microturbine.

Going Concern In connection with the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, 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 September 30, 2025, the Company had cash of $7.7 million, which includes restricted cash of $0.7 million, and a working capital deficit of $14.2 million. The Company had net income of $0.8 million and $0.1 million during the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

The Exit New Money Notes will mature on December 7, 2025 (see Note 8 – Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion). The Company does not expect to have sufficient internally generated cash, nor does the Company expect that it could obtain sufficient financing through underwritten public offerings, at-the market offerings or other similar methods, to satisfy the obligations of the Exit New Money Notes. If the Company is unable to repay the obligations of the Exit New Money Notes on the maturity date, it will be in default under the Exit Note Purchase Agreement (as defined in Note 8 – Debt), which may result in, among other things, default interest or an acceleration of all obligations. It is not certain whether the Company will have, or will be able to obtain, sufficient funds to make any such accelerated payments. If any outstanding indebtedness under the Exit Note Purchase Agreement is accelerated, the Company’s assets may not be sufficient to repay such indebtedness. . The Company and its advisors are considering various alternatives to address the upcoming maturity of the Exit New Money Notes, which may include issuances of equity or the incurrence of additional indebtedness; however there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in refinancing the Exit New Money Notes.

Given the Company’s current cash position, lack of liquidity, short term debt repayments, limits to accessing capital and debt funding options, and current economic and market risks, there exists 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 September 30, 2025. Refer to Cash Flow section for additional information. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, and do not include any adjustments that might result from outcome of this uncertainty.

A robust plan to improve the Company’s future financial performance has been developed. The plan includes multiple process improvement workstreams directed to drive operational and financial performance. The process improvement initiatives are supported with external resources as needed for a specific level of expertise. The plan includes cost reduction in products, services and operating expenses, additional margin expansion through price increases, and sales volume initiatives focused on improving the Company’s liquidity. Achieving the targeted product cost reductions has risk, and is being challenged by the current geopolitical environment, including the impact of tariffs.  There is no guarantee that such steps will be successful or result in our ability to meet our payment obligations coming due within the twelve-month period after the date of this report.
