NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
References in this Report to
“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “Beam” means Beam Global, a Nevada
corporation, and its subsidiaries.
Beam is a sustainable technology
innovation company based in San Diego, California; Broadview, Illinois; Belgrade and Kraljevo, Serbia. We develop, design, engineer, manufacture
and sell high-quality, renewably energized infrastructure products for electric vehicle (“EV”) charging, energy security and
disaster preparedness. We also manufacture highly energy-dense battery solutions in safe, compact and unique form-factors. Additionally,
we manufacture street lighting, communications and energy infrastructure products. Beam’s products enable vital and highly valuable
energy production in locations where it is either too expensive or too impactful to connect to the utility grid, or where the requirements
for electrical power are so important that grid failures, like blackouts, are intolerable. Beam’s energy storage products provide
high energy density in a safe, compact and bespoke form-factors, which we believe are ideal for the rapidly growing mobile and stationary
equipment product market which often requires electrical energy without being connected to the electrical grid.
Beam’s products and
proprietary technology solutions target the following markets:
·
electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure;
·
energy storage solutions;
·
energy security and disaster preparedness;
·
mobile and stationary equipment;
·
transportation infrastructure products; and
·
power electronics and telecommunications equipment
Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and are in the form prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission
in instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to present fairly our results of operations and cash flows for the three months and nine
months ending September 30, 2024 and 2023, and our financial position as of September 30, 2024, have been made. The results of operations
for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
Certain information and disclosures
normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements.
Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023. The December 31, 2023 balance sheet is derived from those statements.
7
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include the allowance for certain expected credit
losses (CECL), valuation of inventory and standard cost allocations, depreciable lives of property and equipment, valuation of contingent
consideration liability, valuation of intangible assets, estimates of loss contingencies, estimates of the valuation of lease liabilities
and the related right of use assets, valuation of share-based costs, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2023, the FASB
issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements” (“ASU 2023-06”), which amends the disclosure or presentation requirements
related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”). The ASU was issued in response
to the SEC’s disclosure update and simplification initiative issued in August 2018. The effective date for the amendments for each
topic will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective,
with early adoptions prohibited.
In November 2023, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 requiring enhanced segment
disclosures. ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker
(“CODM”) included within segment operating profit or loss. Additionally, ASU 12 2023-07 requires a description of how the
CODM utilizes segment operating profit or loss to assess segment performance. The requirements of ASU 2023-07 are effective for annual
periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company's annual
reporting requirements will be effective for the year ending 2024 and interim reporting requirements will be effective beginning with
the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Early adoption is permitted, and retrospective application is required for all periods presented. The
Company is in the process of analyzing the impact of ASU 2023-07 on its related Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2023, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2023-09, “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ” (“ASU 2023-09”).
ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a company’s effective tax rate reconciliation and information on income taxes
paid. This standard will be effective for Beam beginning with our annual financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31,
2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on our consolidated
financial statements.
Concentrations
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that
potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable.
The Company maintains its
cash in banks and financial institutions that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses
in such accounts from inception through September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, approximately $ 4.1 million of the Company’s
cash deposits were greater than the federally insured limits.
8
Major Customers
The Company continually assesses
the financial strength of its customers. We are not aware of any material credit risks associated with our customers. 52 %
of our third quarter revenues were derived from pre-funded federal, state and local government programs, and the remaining 48 %
were derived from commercial customers that we believe have good credit or, alternatively, favorable payment terms which minimizes our
credit risk with respect to such customers. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, no single customer accounted for more than
10% of total revenues and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, one customer accounted for 18 %
of total revenues, with no other single customer accounting for more than 10% of total revenues. At September 30, 2024, accounts receivable
from two customers accounted for 19 %
and 11 %
of total accounts receivable with no other single customer accounting for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance. At December
31, 2023, accounts receivable from four customers accounted for 11 %,
10 %,
10 %
and 10 %
of total accounts receivable each with no other single customer accounting for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance. For
the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s sales to federal, state and local governments represented 82 %
of revenues.

the nine months ending September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Fair Value Measurement
The Company follows the authoritative
guidance that establishes a formal framework for measuring fair values of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements
that are already required by generally accepted accounting principles to be measured at fair value. The guidance defines fair value as
the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date (exit price). The transaction is based on a hypothetical transaction in the principal or most advantageous market
considered from the perspective of the market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability.
The Company utilizes market
data or assumptions that market participants who are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact would use in pricing
the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs
can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. The Company attempts to utilize valuation techniques that maximize
the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
9
The Company is able to classify
fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The guidance establishes a formal fair value hierarchy based on the inputs
used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 measurements and the lowest priority to level 3 measurements,
and accordingly, Level 1 measurement should be used whenever possible.
The hierarchy is broken down
into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities or published net asset value for alternative investments with characteristics similar
to a mutual fund.
Level 2 – Inputs other
than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset
or liability.
The methods used may produce
a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while management
believes its valuation methods are appropriate, the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a difference fair value
measurement at the reporting date. There were no changes in the Company’s valuation methodologies from the prior year.
For purpose of this disclosure,
the carrying amounts for financial assets and liabilities such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable – trade, other
prepaid expenses and current assets, accounts payable and other current liabilities, all approximate fair value due to their short-term
nature as of September 30, 2024. The Company had Level 3 liabilities as of September 30, 2024. There were no transfers between levels
during the reporting period.

Net
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per
share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods
presented using the treasury stock method for options, restricted stocks and warrants. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed
By giving effect to all potential dilutive common share equivalents outstanding for the period. For periods in which Beam has reported
net losses, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share, as the effects of common stock equivalents outstanding and shares
issuable upon conversion of convertible debt instruments are antidilutive and, therefore, excluded from the calculation of diluted loss
per share.
Options to purchase 703,658
shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 200,000
shares of common stock were outstanding at September 30, 2024. Options to purchase 363,598
common shares and warrants to purchase 618,395
shares of common stock were outstanding at September 30, 2023.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted
loss per share:

LIQUIDITY
The Company had net losses
of $ 6.7 million (which includes $ 0.4 million of non-cash expenses) and $ 11 .0 million (which includes $ 3 .0 million of non-cash expenses)
and net cash used in operating activities of $ 3.1 million and $ 13.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
At September 30, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of $ 4.9 million and working capital of $ 17.9 million. Based on the Company’s
current operating plan and the available working capital that can be converted to cash (specifically the accounts receivable balance of
approximately $ 11.3 million), the Company believes that it has the ability to fund its operations and meet contractual obligations for
at least twelve months from the date of this report.
In 2022, the Company entered
into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC under which the Company
issued 281,157 shares for approximately $ 3 .0 million. The facility was terminated on October 1, 2024.
The Company’s outstanding
warrants generated $ 0.7 million and $ 0.3 million of proceeds during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Warrants to purchase 282,334 shares of common stock which were issued as part of our 2019 public offering expired on April 18, 2024. The
Company has a warrant outstanding to purchase up to 200,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $ 17.00 per share
that expires in March 2028 and that could generate up to an additional $3.4 million of proceeds, conditioned upon the market price of
our common stock and the warrant holder’s ability and decision to exercise them.
In March 2023, the Company
entered into a supply chain line of credit agreement with OCI Group for up to $100 million to further support our working capital requirements.
Subject to the terms of the agreement, OCI Group will make available to the Company funding based on amounts owed to the Company by its
customers. To date, the Company has not borrowed against this line of credit.
Although the Company believes
that it will become profitable in the next few years as our revenues grow, we improve our gross profit and we leverage our overhead costs,
we expect to continue to incur losses for a period of time. If necessary, the Company may raise additional capital to finance its future
operations through equity or debt financings. There is no guarantee that profitable operations will be achieved, or that additional capital
or debt financing will be available on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at all, and such funding, if raised, may not be sufficient
to meet our obligations or enable us to continue to implement our long-term business strategy. In addition, obtaining additional funding
or entering into other strategic transactions could result in significant dilution to our stockholders.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Amiga DOO Kraljevo
On
October 20, 2023, the Company acquired Amiga DOO Kraljevo (“Amiga”), pursuant to a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement dated
October 6, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company and the owners of Amiga (the “Sellers”). Pursuant
to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired all the equity stock of Amiga from the Sellers in exchange for cash and common
stock. With respect to the cash portion of the purchase price, the Company paid to the Sellers 4.6 million euros ($ 4.9 million) at closing
and an additional 2.5 million euros ($ 2.7 million) was paid on January 2, 2024. With respect to the equity portion of the purchase price,
the Company issued to the Sellers an aggregate of 451,807 shares of our common stock.
The
Sellers are eligible to earn additional shares of the Company’s common stock if Amiga meets certain revenue milestones for the years
ended December 31, 2024 and 2025 (the “Earnout Consideration”). The Earnout Consideration that Sellers are eligible to receive
is equal to two times the amount of revenue of Amiga (“Amiga Net Revenue”) that is greater than specific revenue targets for
each of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025. The Earnout Consideration will be paid in the Company’s stock for each annual
target period and will be calculated based on the volume weighted average price of Beam’s common stock for the thirty trading days
prior to the end of the applicable measurement period. In no event and under no circumstances will the Company issue to the Sellers an
amount of the Company’s common stock that exceeds 19.99% of the total outstanding common stock of the Company immediately prior
to the closing. An estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration has been recorded in the opening balance sheet. O n
February 16, 2024, the Company and the Sellers entered into an amendment to the Purchase Agreement to remove the requirement that the
Sellers shall be providing services to Amiga as a condition to receive the Earnout Consideration. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $ 4.5 million of income related to the fair value adjustment of the liability for Earnout Consideration.
Amiga,
located in Serbia, is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of steel structures with integrated electronics, such as streetlights,
cell towers, and ski lift towers. The acquisition of Amiga is assisting in introducing our products to Europe, increasing and diversifying
our revenues, enhancing our manufacturing and engineering capabilities, accelerating the development of BeamSpot™ (formerly named
EV Standard™) and other products both in Europe and the US, adding new customer segments in both Europe and the US, and we believe,
increasing barriers to entry for future competition, and advancing Beam’s position as a leader in the green economy.
The acquisition was accounted
for as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations . Goodwill represents
the premium the Company paid over net fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired.
On November 7, 2023, Amiga
changed its name to Beam Europe LLC.
Telcom
On August 30, 2024, the Company
acquired Telcom d.o.o Beograd (“Telcom”), pursuant to a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement dated as of August 30, 2024 (the
“Agreement”) with the owners (the “Sellers”) of Telcom. Telcom is a business located in Serbia and engaged in
the manufacturing of telecommunications equipment. Beam acquired all of the equity stock of Telcom from the Sellers in exchange for cash
and Beam common stock. The total purchase price was subject to adjustment based on the amount of cash held by Telcom at closing. Based
on Telcom’s cash balance at closing equal to approximately EUR 220,298 , Beam paid to the Sellers a purchase price equal to EUR 815,298
which was paid to the Sellers as follows: (i) EUR 430,000 cash and (ii) issued 82,506 shares of Beam common stock. At closing, Telcom
had a positive working capital balance of approximately EUR 500,000 which consisted of (i) a cash balance equal to EUR 220,000, accounts
receivables of approximately EUR 115,000, inventory of approximately EUR 275,000 and accounts payable of approximately EUR 110,000.
13
In
addition to the above payments, the Sellers are eligible to earn up to EUR 250,000 (the “Earnout Cap”) in additional shares
of Beam common stock if Telcom meets certain revenue milestones for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 (the “Earnout Consideration”).
The Telcom Earnout Consideration that Sellers are eligible to receive for 2024 will be equal to the amount the net revenue of Telcom (“Telcom
Net Revenue”) exceeds EUR 850,000 for 2024 up to the Earnout Cap. Provided that Sellers Earnout Consideration was less than the
Earnout Cap, the Sellers will be eligible for additional Telcom Earnout Consideration in 2025 if (i) 2025 Telcom Net Revenue exceeds 2024
Telcom Net Revenue, and (ii) 2025 Telcom Net Revenue exceeds $850,000. The Telcom Earnout Consideration for 2025 will be calculated based
on the amount the 2025 Net Revenue exceeds the 2024 Net Revenue subject to the Earnout Cap. In no event, will the Sellers Earnout Consideration
for 2024 and 2025, in the aggregate, exceed the Earnout Cap. The Earnout Consideration for each period will be calculated based on the
volume weighted average price of Beam’s common stock for the thirty trading days prior to the end of the applicable calendar year.
In no event and under no circumstances will the Sellers receive from Beam or will Beam issue to the Sellers in connection with the transaction
Beam’s common stock in an amount that exceeds 19.99% of the outstanding common stock of Beam immediately prior to closing.
The acquisition was accounted
for as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations . Goodwill
represents the premium the Company paid over net fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired.
The valuation of the Earnout
Consideration was performed using a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration, which
includes estimates and assumptions such as forecasted revenues of Telcom, discount rates, and the milestone settlement value. As such
valuation includes the use of unobservable inputs, it is considered to be a Level 3 measurement. The fair value of the Earnout Consideration
will be reassessed on a quarterly basis with the change recorded to operating expenses. Change in the fair value of the Earnout Consideration
during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is as follows (in thousands):

The following table summarizes the estimated fair
value allocation of consideration exchanged for the estimated fair value of tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition
date. The estimated fair value for working capital is generally equivalent to the net book value of the acquired assets and liabilities
on the acquisition date. Fair value assigned to property, plant and equipment is based on real estate appraisals, market value comparisons,
or acquired net book value of recently acquired assets. The valuation of the contingent consideration is based on a discounted cash flow
analysis using the Company’s forecasted results for the operations for the two years subject to revenue earn-out targets.

The estimated fair values assigned to identifiable

and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date to estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. The Company believes that information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed, but the Company is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values. Therefore, the provisional measurements
of fair value reflected are subject to change and such changes could be significant. The Company expects to complete the allocation of
purchase price as soon as practicable, but no later than one year after the acquisition date.

related to outstanding stock options at September 30, 2024 which will be recognized over 4 .0 years. Total intrinsic value of options outstanding
and options exercisable were $ 18 thousand and $ 0.2 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2024. The number of shares of common stock
underlying stock options vested and unvested as of September 30, 2024 were 355,034 and 348,624 , respectively.
Restricted Stock Units
In November 2022, the Company
granted 142,500 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and up to 142,500 performance stock units (“PSU”) to its Chief
Executive Officer (“CEO”). For the RSUs, 50% vested upon the grant date, 25% vested on February 1, 2024 and 25% will vest
on February 1, 2025. The number of shares that will be earned under the PSUs will be determined based on the achievement of specific performance
metrics during the three-year period ending December 31, 2024.
142,500 PSUs and 35,625 RSUs
remain outstanding as of September 30, 2024, with weighted-average grant-date fair values of $ 13.05 each.
Stock compensation expense
related to the RSUs and PSUs was $ 0.3 million and $ 0.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, with $ 0.5 million
in unrecognized stock compensation expense remaining to be recognized over 5 months as of September 30, 2024.
Restricted Stock Awards
The Company issues restricted
stock to its non-employee members of its board of directors as compensation for such members’ services. Such grants generally vest
ratably over four quarters.
The Company also previously
issued restricted stock awards to its CEO, for which generally 50% of the shares granted vest ratably over four quarters and the remaining
50% vest ratably over twelve quarters. The common stock related to these awards are issued to an escrow account on the date of grant and
released to the grantee upon vesting. The fair value is determined based on the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock
on the date granted and the related expense is recognized ratably over the vesting period.

Warrants
In 2023, the Company
issued warrants to purchase up to 200,000
shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to $17.00 to a consultant for services to be provided over a
five-year period. The warrants were immediately exercisable but are subject to repurchase by the Company until the required service
is provided. The fair value of such warrants was $8.05 per share or $ 1.6
million on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model incorporated certain assumptions for inputs
including a risk-free market interest rate of 3.86%, an expected dividend yield of the underlying common stock of 0%, expected life
of 2.5 years and expected volatility in the market value of the underlying common stock based on our historical volatility of 99.6%.
The fair value of the warrants was recorded to prepaid expenses and other current assets to be recognized over the service period.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, $ 0.2
million was recorded as expense and $1.1 million of cost has not been recognized and will be recognized over the next 3.5 years.
