−Removed: Beam develops, designs,
−Removed: engineers, manufactures and sells renewably energized products and proprietary technology solutions serving three markets with
−Removed: annual global spending in the billions of dollars and that are experiencing significant growth:
−Removed: electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure;
−Removed: outdoor media advertising;
−Removed: energy security and disaster preparedness.
−Removed: The Company focuses
−Removed: on creating renewably energized, high-quality products for electric vehicle (“EV”) charging, outdoor media and branding,
−Removed: and energy security that are rapidly deployable and attractively designed.
−Removed: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure
−Removed: We currently produce
−Removed: two categories of products:
−Removed: the patented EV ARC™
−Removed: (Electric Vehicle Autonomous Renewable Charger) and the patented Solar Tree®.
−Removed: In late 2019, we began deploying our upgraded version of our EV ARC™, the EV ARC™
−Removed: 2020, which provides all of the features
−Removed: of the original EV ARC™.
−Removed: New features of the product include the elevation of the electronics to the underside of the solar
−Removed: canopy making the unit flood-proof up to 9.5 feet.
−Removed: This change also provides more space to park on the product’s base pad
−Removed: and adds security for the electrical components.
−Removed: In addition, we have two new categories of products in development.
−Removed: 31, 2019, our patent for the EV-Standard™
−Removed: product was issued, and a fourth category of product, the UAV ARC™
−Removed: charging product, is awaiting patent approval.
−Removed: All four product lines incorporate the same underlying technology and value, having
−Removed: a built-in renewable energy source in the form of attached solar panels and/or light wind generator, along with battery storage.
−Removed: The EV ARC™
−Removed: product is a permanent solution in a transportable format and the Solar Tree®
−Removed: product is a permanent solution
−Removed: in a fixed format.
−Removed: The EV-Standard™
−Removed: is also fixed but uses an existing streetlamp’s foundation and grid connection
−Removed: for curbside charging.
−Removed: The UAV ARC™
−Removed: is a permanent solution in a transportable format and will be used to charge drone (UAV)
−Removed: Our EV charging solutions for electric vehicles and aerial drones can, or in the case of the products currently under development,
−Removed: are expected to, produce, deliver, and store power without the time and expense of having to be connected to the utility grid.
−Removed: We believe that there
−Removed: is a clear need for rapidly deployable and highly scalable EV charging infrastructure, and that our products fulfill that requirement.
−Removed: We are agnostic as to the EV charging service equipment and integrate best of breed solutions based upon our customer’s
−Removed: requirements.
−Removed: For example, our EV ARC™
−Removed: and Solar Tree®
−Removed: products have been deployed with Chargepoint, Blink, Juice Box,
−Removed: Bosch, AeroVironment and other high quality EV charging solutions.
−Removed: We can make recommendations to customers or we can comply with
−Removed: their specifications and/or existing charger networks.
−Removed: Our products replace the infrastructure required to support EV chargers,
−Removed: not the chargers themselves.
−Removed: We do not sell EV charging, or compete with those who do, rather we sell products which enable it.
−Removed: We believe our chief
−Removed: differentiators for our electric vehicle charging infrastructure products are:
−Removed: our ability to invent, design, engineer, and manufacture renewably energized products which dramatically reduce the cost, time and complexity of the installation and operation of EV charging infrastructure and outdoor media platforms when compared to traditional, utility grid tied alternatives;
−Removed: our products’
−Removed: capability to operate during grid outages and to provide a source of emergency power rather than becoming inoperable during times of emergency or other grid interruptions;
−Removed: our ability to create new and patentable inventions which are a complex integration of our own proprietary technology and parts, with other commonly available engineered components, creating a further barrier to entry for our competition.
−Removed: Historically, we have
−Removed: recognized revenue primarily from the sale of EV ARCs™
−Removed: to large commercial businesses, such as Google, Genentech, and Johnson
−Removed: & Johnson, and government agencies such as the City of New York, the State of California and the U.S.
−Removed: Our contract with
−Removed: the City of New York was renewed in March 2020 to extend through April 2021 and our State of California contract will expire on
−Removed: June 23, 2021 unless the State of California exercises its one-year renewal option through June 23, 2022.
−Removed: Outdoor Media Advertising
−Removed: This business opportunity
−Removed: involves a partnership with a third party media company, whereby we solicit revenue from potential sponsors and from advertisers
−Removed: willing to pay fees to us or to our media partners to display their brands, messages and advertisements on the surfaces of our
−Removed: products or on outdoor digital or static screens mounted on our EV charging solutions.
−Removed: In October 2020, we entered into an agreement
−Removed: with the City of San Diego which allows us to deploy a network of our EV ARC TM solar-powered EV charging terminals across
−Removed: We are currently seeking a corporate sponsor who will receive global naming rights to the network and highly visible
−Removed: corporate brand placement on the EV ARC TM units in the city for periods of five years at a time.
−Removed: We intend to renew
−Removed: these agreements each time they expire, creating a new recurring revenue source for Beam.
−Removed: We believe that this model can then be
−Removed: expanded to other cities.
−Removed: Energy Security and Disaster Preparedness
−Removed: Our energy security
−Removed: business is connected with the deployment of our EV charging infrastructure products which includes an integrated emergency power
−Removed: panel, powered by solar power and battery storage, which can continue to operate and deliver emergency power during utility grid
−Removed: failures or blackouts and brownouts.
−Removed: Our onboard state-of-the-art storage batteries installed on our EV chargers provide another
−Removed: reason for certain customers such as municipalities, counties, states, the federal government, hospitals, fire departments, large
−Removed: private enterprises with substantial facilities, and vehicle fleet operators, to buy our products.
−Removed: As an example of the benefit
−Removed: our emergency power capability provides, in April 2020, one of our California municipal customers re-deployed two of their EV
−Removed: units to COVID-19 response facilities to charge their EVs and provide emergency power for medical equipment without

+Added: DC Fast Charging system for charging EVs.
+Added: - EV-Standard ™
+Added: patent issued on December 31, 2019 and still under development.
+Added: A lamp standard, EV charging and emergency power product which
+Added: uses an existing streetlamp’s foundation and a combination of solar, wind, grid connection and onboard energy storage to provide
+Added: curbside charging.
+Added: - UAV ARC™
+Added: - patent issued on November 24, 2020 and still under development.
+Added: An off-grid, renewably
+Added: energized and rapidly deployed product and network used to charge aerial drone (UAV) fleets.
+Added: We believe that there is a
+Added: clear need for a rapidly deployable and highly scalable EV charging infrastructure, and that our products fulfill that requirement.
+Added: grid-tied installations which require general and electrical contractors, engineers, consultants, digging trenches, permitting, pouring
+Added: concrete, wiring, and ongoing utility bills, the EV ARC™
+Added: system can be deployed in minutes, not months, and is powered by renewable
+Added: energy so there is no utility bill.
+Added: We are agnostic as to the EV charging service equipment or provider and integrate best of breed solutions
+Added: based upon our customer’s requirements.
+Added: For example, our EV ARC™
+Added: and Solar Tree®
+Added: products have been deployed with Chargepoint,
+Added: Blink, Enel X, Electrify America and other high quality EV charging solutions.
+Added: We can make recommendations to customers or we can comply
+Added: with their specifications and/or existing charger networks.
+Added: Our products replace the infrastructure required to support EV chargers, not
+Added: the chargers themselves.
+Added: We do not sell EV charging, rather we sell products which enable it.
+Added: We believe our chief differentiators
+Added: for our electric vehicle charging infrastructure products are:
+Added: Our patented, renewably energized products which dramatically reduce the cost, time and complexity of the installation and operation of EV charging infrastructure and outdoor media platforms when compared to traditional, utility grid tied alternatives;
+Added: Our first-to-market advantage with EV charging infrastructure products which are renewably energized, rapidly deployed and require no construction or electrical work on site.
+Added: our products’
+Added: capability to operate during grid outages and to provide a source of EV charging and emergency power rather than becoming inoperable during times of emergency or other grid interruptions;
+Added: our ability to continuously create new and patentable inventions which are marketable and a complex integration of our own proprietary technology and parts, and other commonly available engineered components, creating a further barrier to entry for our competition.
+Added: Overall Business Outlook
+Added: Our revenues increased from
+Added: $1,317,052 in the first quarter of 2020, to $1,372,392 for the same period in 2021.
+Added: Our revenues continue to diversify to a broad array
+Added: of customers and markets.
+Added: We have strengthened our sales force over the past year and increased marketing efforts, including engaging
+Added: a public relations firm and a rebranding, to help communicate and promote awareness to potential customers.
+Added: On January 27, 2021, President
+Added: Biden issued an executive order that called for “clean and zero-emission federal, state, local, and tribal government fleets.”
+Added: Biden also proposed $174 billion investment in the EV market and an additional 500,000 publicly available EV charging stations on U.S.
+Added: Beam Global views federal investment in EV infrastructure as an important potential source of future revenues particularly now
+Added: that the Company has been awarded a Federal General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract that will make
+Added: the procurement process by federal agencies much easier and faster.
+Added: We are also expanding geographically across the U.S.
+Added: to add to our
+Added: significant presence in California.
+Added: We believe that our opportunities in corporate markets will increase as demand for workplace charging
+Added: We believe our products are uniquely positioned to benefit from this growth, as well as increased market share as a result
+Added: of the features our products add.
+Added: We continue to make progress
+Added: in our outdoor media advertising business in 2021, with the addition of a contracted industry expert to help identify a corporate sponsor
+Added: who will receive global naming rights to the network of EV ARC TM systems planned for the City of San Diego.
+Added: We have 2 new patents that
+Added: were issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office at the end of 2019 and in 2020 for our EV Standard TM and UAV ARC™
+Added: which we expect will expand our product offerings with the same proprietary technology as our current products and allow us to expand
+Added: into new markets.
+Added: We had a gross loss of $149,120
+Added: in the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to a loss of $39,641 for the same period in the prior year.
+Added: We currently have a fixed overhead
+Added: structure and facility that will support our expected growth over the next several years.
+Added: Until our production increases, we have underutilized
+Added: capacity that adds a fixed cost burden to our margins.
+Added: Once we are able to increase our production volumes, we will improve our fixed
+Added: cost per unit, as well as benefit from improved labor efficiencies and utilization and cost improvements by negotiating volume purchase
+Added: We are also implementing lean manufacturing process improvements and making engineering changes to our product where we can
+Added: benefit from cost reductions.
+Added: Many of the components that we integrate into our products are manufactured by others.
+Added: This is consistent
+Added: with our strategy to take advantage of the investment by large and well-funded organizations in the improvement of various components
+Added: and sub-assemblies which we integrate into our final product.
+Added: Components such as battery cells and solar panels are expected to continue
+Added: to decrease in cost in the coming months and years.
+Added: We expect to see a significant increase in the demand for electric vehicle charging
+Added: infrastructure and as such we do not anticipate significant pricing pressure on our products.
+Added: The combination of this increase in demand
+Added: for electric vehicle charging infrastructure and therefore our revenues, and the cost cutting measures described above lead us to believe
+Added: that we will see significant improvement in our gross margins in the future.
+Added: Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
+Added: Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
+Added: ended December 31, 2020.
+Added: There have been no material changes in these policies or their application.
Use of Estimates.
−Removed: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
−Removed: America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
−Removed: of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
−Removed: during the reporting period.
+Added: preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
+Added: amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
+Added: reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
−Removed: Significant estimates in the accompanying financial
−Removed: statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, valuation of inventory and standard cost allocations, depreciable
−Removed: lives of property and equipment, valuation of intangible assets, estimates of loss contingencies, estimates of the valuation of
−Removed: right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities, valuation of share-based payments, and the valuation allowance on deferred
−Removed: Accounts Receivable.
−Removed: Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms.
−Removed: Management reviews accounts receivable on a periodic
−Removed: basis to determine if any receivables may become uncollectible.
−Removed: Management’s evaluation includes several factors including
−Removed: the aging of the accounts receivable balances, a review of significant past due accounts, dialogue with the customer, the financial
−Removed: profile of a customer, our historical write-off experience, net of recoveries, and economic conditions.
−Removed: The Company includes any
−Removed: accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts.
−Removed: Company may record a general reserve in its allowance for doubtful accounts to account for future changes that may negatively impact
−Removed: our overall collections.
−Removed: After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.
−Removed: is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
−Removed: Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method of accounting.
−Removed: Inventory costs primarily relate to purchased raw materials and components used in the manufacturing of our products, work in process
−Removed: for products being manufactured, and finished goods.
−Removed: Included in these costs are direct labor and certain manufacturing overhead
−Removed: costs associated with the manufacturing process.
−Removed: The Company regularly reviews inventory components and quantities on hand and
−Removed: performs annual physical inventory counts.
−Removed: A reserve is established if this review process determines the net realizable value
−Removed: of such inventory may be below the carrying value.
−Removed: Impairment of Long-lived
−Removed: The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-35-15 “Impairment
−Removed: or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”
−Removed: This guidance requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be
−Removed: reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
−Removed: Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted
−Removed: net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
−Removed: If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized
−Removed: is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
−Removed: Assets to be disposed
−Removed: of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
−Removed: Revenue and Cost
−Removed: Beam follows the revenue standards of Financial Accounting Standards Board Update No.
−Removed: “Revenue
−Removed: from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).”
−Removed: The core principle of this Topic is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict
−Removed: the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects
−Removed: to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
−Removed: Revenue is recognized in accordance with that core principle by applying
−Removed: the following five steps:
−Removed: 1) identify the contracts with a customer;
−Removed: 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract;
−Removed: determine the transaction price;
−Removed: 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations;
−Removed: and 5) recognize revenue when
−Removed: (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation.
−Removed: Revenues are primarily
−Removed: derived from the direct sales of manufactured products.
−Removed: Revenues may also consist of maintenance fees for the maintenance of previously
−Removed: sold products and revenues from sales of professional services.
−Removed: Revenues from inventoried
−Removed: product sales are recognized upon the final delivery of such product to the customer or when legal transfer of ownership takes
−Removed: Revenue values are fixed price arrangements determined at the time an order is placed or a contract is entered into.
−Removed: customer is typically obligated to make payment for such products within a 30-45 day period after delivery.
−Removed: Revenues from maintenance
−Removed: fees for services provided by the Company are recognized equally over the period of the maintenance term.
−Removed: Revenue values are fixed
−Removed: price arrangements determined at the time an order is placed or a contract is entered into.
−Removed: The customer is typically obligated
−Removed: to make payment for the service in advance of the maintenance period.
−Removed: Extended maintenance
−Removed: or warranty services, where the customer has the option to purchase this extension as a separate purchase option, are considered
−Removed: a separate performance obligation.
−Removed: If the company does not control the extended services, in terms of having the responsibility
−Removed: for fulfillment of the obligation or the option to choose who will perform the services, the Company is acting as an agent and
−Removed: would report the revenues on a net basis.
−Removed: Revenues from professional
−Removed: services are recognized as services are performed.
−Removed: Revenue values are based upon fixed fee arrangements or hourly fee-based arrangements
−Removed: with agreed to hourly rates of service categories in line with expertise requirements.
−Removed: These services are billed to a customer
−Removed: as such services are provided and the customer will be obligated to make payments for such services typically within a 30-45 day
−Removed: Revenues on a bill-and-hold
−Removed: arrangement are recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer, but physical possession of the product transfers
−Removed: at a point in time in the future.
−Removed: To determine this, the reason for the arrangement must be substantive, the product must be separately
−Removed: identified and ready for physical transfer, and the product cannot be directed to another customer.
−Removed: The Company has a policy
−Removed: of recording sales incentives as a contra revenue.
−Removed: The Company includes
−Removed: shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues and shipping and handling costs as cost of revenues.
−Removed: Any deposits received
−Removed: from a customer prior to delivery of the purchased product or monies paid prior to the period for which a service is provided are
−Removed: accounted for as deferred revenue on the balance sheet.
−Removed: Sales tax is recorded
−Removed: on a net basis and excluded from revenue.
−Removed: The Company generally
−Removed: provides a standard one-year warranty on its products for materials and workmanship but may provide multiple year warranties as
−Removed: negotiated, and it will pass on the warranties from its vendors, if any, which generally exceeds this one-year period.
−Removed: In accordance
−Removed: with ASC 450-20-25, the Company accrues for product warranties when the loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated.
−Removed: At September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company has no product warranty accrual given the Company’s fluctuating historical financial
−Removed: warranty expense.
−Removed: Cost of Revenues.
−Removed: The Company records direct material and component costs, direct labor and associated benefits, and manufacturing overhead costs
−Removed: such as supervision, manufacturing equipment depreciation, rent, and utility costs, all of which are included in inventory prior
−Removed: to a sale, as costs of revenues.
−Removed: The Company further includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues and shipping
−Removed: and handling costs as cost of revenues.
−Removed: Changes in Accounting
−Removed: There were no significant changes in accounting principles that were adopted during the nine months ended September
+Added: Significant estimates
+Added: in the accompanying financial statements include the valuation of inventory and standard cost allocations, depreciable lives of property
+Added: and equipment, valuation of intangible assets, estimates of loss contingencies, estimates of the valuation of lease liabilities and the
+Added: related right of use assets, valuation of share-based costs, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
+Added: Changes in Accounting Principles .
+Added: There were no significant changes in accounting principles that were adopted during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

−Removed: as a result of customer funding issues, priority issues or business closures.
−Removed: Our shipments will continue to fluctuate each quarter
−Removed: due to the varying size of orders and timing of deliveries .
−Removed: Gross Profit (Loss).
−Removed: For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we had a gross loss of $188,732 compared to a gross profit of $340,836 for the
−Removed: three months ended September 30, 2019.
−Removed: The gross loss resulted from the decrease in revenue in the current quarter, which caused
−Removed: an underabsorption of our fixed overhead costs and inefficient use of our labor resources.
−Removed: We expect our margins to improve as
−Removed: we increase our revenue levels, which will reduce our overhead costs per unit and improve our labor efficiency.
−Removed: In addition, we
−Removed: are working to negotiate better volume pricing and to engineer cost improvements into our processes.
−Removed: Warranty costs increased by
−Removed: $15,034 in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year due to the addition of a full-time

−Removed: expense for stock option expense and vesting of director restricted shares due to Board stock grants in the prior year, a severance
−Removed: payment of $82,500 to an employee in the prior year, a $33,990 reduction in travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a reduction in
−Removed: R&D of $23,628 due to lower third party Engineering costs that are no longer required, partially offset by higher R&D
−Removed: headcount and other reductions of $11,643.
−Removed: This reduction was partially offset by an increase in sales and marketing expenditures
−Removed: of $65,913 to support our sales growth and our marketing re-brand, and a $75,826 bonus accrual for meeting certain management
−Removed: Other Income and
−Removed: Interest expense was $920 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $7,182 for the same period in
−Removed: 2019, due to the repayment of debt in 2019 following the Company’s public offering.
−Removed: Interest income decreased by $20,978
−Removed: due to the high cash deposits last year following the public offering, prior to the payment of debt and cash usage.
−Removed: net loss was $1,100,023 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, a $489,660 increase from a net loss of $610,363 for the

−Removed: organizations.
−Removed: We have also sold a variety of different products during this period, including our traditional EV ARC™, our
−Removed: new EV ARC™
−Removed: 2020, a DC fast charging station for a California rest stop and the first two of three Solar Tree®
−Removed: solar-powered
−Removed: sustainable infrastructure products sold to charge large vehicles.
−Removed: This compares to revenues
−Removed: for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 where almost half of our revenue resulted from the delivery of units to one customer,
−Removed: the City of New York.
−Removed: We also sold two DC fast charging stations for California rest stops last year.
−Removed: Our shipments will
−Removed: continue to fluctuate each quarter due to the varying size of orders and timing of deliveries .
−Removed: Gross Profit (Loss).
−Removed: For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had a gross loss of $173,037 compared to gross profit of $349,279 for the
−Removed: period ended September 30, 2019.
−Removed: The gross profit in the period ended September 30, 2019 benefited from the reversal of $71,744
−Removed: of expense for losses that were accrued at December 31, 2018.
−Removed: The gross loss resulted from the decrease in revenue in the current
−Removed: quarter, which caused an underabsorption of our fixed overhead costs and inefficient use of our labor resources.
−Removed: We expect our
−Removed: margins to improve as we increase our revenue levels, which will reduce our overhead costs per unit and improve our labor efficiency.
−Removed: In addition, we are working to negotiate better volume pricing and to engineer cost improvements into our processes.
−Removed: costs increased by $71,647 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year due to the

+Added: Despite the increase in revenues during the first quarter of 2021 compared to 2020, our gross loss increased primarily due to
+Added: an increase in costs for the new EV ARC™
+Added: 2020 unit that was launched at the end of 2019 and rolled out in 2020, compared to the
+Added: original EV ARC™.
+Added: Our experience with the original EV ARC™
+Added: demonstrated that while the initial costs of the unit start out
+Added: high, the operations and engineering teams improve the production process and reduce material costs which will reduce the costs over time.
+Added: We anticipate that this process will be repeated with the EV ARC™
+Added: We are also being negatively impacted by increases in steel
+Added: prices and shipping costs due to high demand.
+Added: We expect our margins to improve as we increase our production levels, which will reduce
