1.
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 clean-technology
innovation company headquartered in San Diego, California with factories in the U.S. in San Diego, California and Broadview, Illinois
and in Europe in Belgrade and Kraljevo, Serbia. We develop, design, engineer, manufacture, and sell high-quality, renewably energized
infrastructure products for electric vehicle (“EV”) charging, infrastructure for Smart Cities (the interconnected physical

· Energy
security and disaster preparedness;
· Smart Cities infrastructure;
· Energy storage solutions;
· EV
charging infrastructure;
· 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 ended March
31, 2025 and 2024, and our financial position as of March 31, 2025, 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, 2024. The December 31, 2024 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, 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
Recent pronouncement not yet adopted
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 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 deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any
losses in such accounts from inception through March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, approximately $ 1.5 million of the Company’s
cash deposits were greater than the federally insured limits.
Major Customers
For the three months ended
March 31, 2025, one customer accounted for 12 % of total revenues and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, two customers accounted
for 30 % and 18 % of total revenues, each with no other single customer accounting for more than 10% of revenues. At March 31, 2025, accounts
receivable from one customer accounted for 15 % of total accounts receivable and at March 31, 2024, accounts receivable from three customers
accounted for 22 %, 18 % and 14 % 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 March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s concentration of sales to federal customers
represented 14 % and 58 % of revenues, respectively and the concentration of sales to state and local governments represented 33 % and 26 %
of revenues, respectively.

Total Net Loss for the three months ending March 31, 2025 was $15.5 million compared to $3.0 million
in 2024. The 2025 net loss increase mainly included $ 10.8 million of non-cash impairment for Goodwill and $0.4 million in allowances
for credit losses.
Impairment of Goodwill
The Company operates as one
operating segment and reporting unit and therefore evaluates goodwill for impairment as one singular reporting unit annually during the
fourth quarter or more often when an event occurs, or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The determination
of the fair value of the reporting unit requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved
in making these estimates, actual future results could differ. Changes in assumptions regarding future results or other underlying assumptions
could have a significant impact on the fair value of the reporting unit.
9
During the three months ending
March 31, 2025, the Company continued to experience a decline in its stock price resulting in the total market value of its common stock
outstanding (“market capitalization”) being less than the carrying value of the reporting unit. Management believes this decline
in market value is due to a variety of factors, as further described below. Considering the circumstances and indicators of potential
impairment described above, management performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2025. Management first
considered whether any impairment was present for the Company’s long-lived assets, concluding that no such impairments were present.
The Company does not have any indefinite lived assets other than goodwill.
The Company concluded
that the sustained stock price decline in the Company’s common stock and its market capitalizations as of March 31, 2025 is a
triggering event which requires us to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. We determine the value of goodwill largely
based on our stock price. The results of the Company’s test for impairment of goodwill as of March 31, 2025, utilizing
recent trends in stock price over a reasonable period, indicated that the fair value of goodwill fell below its book value. Based on
the results of the goodwill impairment procedures, the Company recorded a $ 10.8
million goodwill impairment for the single reporting unit during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Accounts Receivable
The Company does business
and extends credit based on an evaluation of each customer’s financial condition, generally without requiring collateral. Management
reviews accounts receivable on a periodic basis to determine if any receivables may become uncollectible. Management’s evaluation
includes several factors including the aging of the accounts receivable balances, a review of significant past due accounts, dialogue
with the customer, the financial profile of a customer, our historical write-off experience, net of recoveries, and economic conditions.
Exposure to losses on receivables is expected to vary by customer due to the financial condition of each customer. The Company estimates
future credit losses based on the age of customer receivable balances, collection history and forecasted economic trends. The Company
monitors exposure to credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses considered necessary under the circumstances. A summary
of the allowance for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

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.
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 March 31, 2025. The Company had Level 3 liabilities as of March 31, 2025. There were no transfers between levels during
the reporting period.

Significant Accounting Policies
During the three months ended
March 31, 2025, there were no changes to our significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2024.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is
computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted
net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period, and, if dilutive,
potential common stock outstanding during the period. Potential common stock consists of the incremental shares of common stock issuable
upon the exercise of stock options, stock warrants, convertible debt instruments or other common stock equivalents. Potentially dilutive
securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.
The following shares were
not included in the computation of diluted loss per share:

Segments
The Company assesses its segment
reporting based on how it internally manages and reports the results of its business to its chief operating decision maker. Management
reviews financial results, manages the business and allocates resources on an aggregate basis. Therefore, financial results are reported
in a single operating segment.

and net cash used in operating activities of $ 1.8 million and $ 3 .0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
At
March 31, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $ 2.5
million and working capital of $ 10.8
million. Based on the Company’s current operating plan and the available working capital that it believes can be converted to
cash (specifically the accounts receivable balance of approximately $ 7.1
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.
On April 11, 2025, the Company
entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc., pursuant to which the Company has the right, but not
the obligation, to sell up to $ 8 million in shares of its common stock, subject to certain terms and conditions.
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, our gross profit improves 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
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
“Telcom Agreement”) with the owners (the “Telcom 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 Telcom 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 Telcom Sellers a purchase
price equal to EUR 815,298 which was paid to the Telcom 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.
In addition to the above payments,
the Telcom 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 “Telcom Earnout Consideration”). The Telcom Earnout
Consideration that the Telcom Sellers are eligible to receive for 2024 was equal to the amount the net revenue of Telcom (“Telcom
Net Revenue”) exceeded EUR 850,000 for 2024 up to the Earnout Cap. The Company issued 27,836 shares of stock valued at $ 0.1 million
as payment for the 2024 Telcom Earnout Consideration. The Telcom Earnout Consideration was less than the Earnout Cap, and the Telcom 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 Telcom Earnout Consideration for 2024 and 2025,
in the aggregate, exceed the Earnout Cap. The Telcom 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 Telcom Sellers receive from Beam or will Beam issue to the Telcom 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 Telcom
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 Telcom 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 three months ended March 31, 2025 is as follows (in thousands):

earnout consideration

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.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters:
The Company may from time
to time become party to actions, claims, suits, investigations or proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business, including
actions with respect to intellectual property claims, breach of contract claims, labor and employment claims and other matters. Any litigation
could divert management time and attention from the Company, could involve significant amounts of legal fees and other fees and expenses,
or could result in an adverse outcome having a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
Actions, claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain, and their results cannot be predicted with certainty.
We are not currently involved in any legal proceedings that we believe are, individually or in the aggregate, material to our business,
results of operations or financial condition. However, regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because
of associated cost and diversion of management time. As of March 31, 2025, after consulting with legal counsel, management believes there
were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of our operations.
Other Commitments:
The Company enters into various
contracts or agreements in the normal course of business whereby such contracts or agreements may contain commitments. Since inception,
the Company entered into agreements to act as a reseller for certain vendors; joint development contracts with third parties; referral
agreements where the Company would pay a referral fee to the referrer for business generated; sales agent agreements whereby sales agents
would receive a fee equal to a percentage of revenues generated by the agent; business development agreements and strategic alliance agreements
where both parties agree to cooperate and provide business opportunities to each other and in some instances, provide for a right of first
refusal with respect to certain projects of the other parties; agreements with vendors where the vendor may provide marketing, investor
relations, public relations, software licenses, technical consulting or subcontractor services, vendor arrangements with non-binding minimum
purchasing provisions, and financial advisory agreements where the financial advisor would receive a fee and/or commission for raising
capital for the Company.

INCOME TAXES
There was no Federal income
tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024 due to the Company’s net losses. Income tax expense represents the
minimum state taxes due. As a result of the Company’s history of incurring operating losses, a full valuation allowance has been
established. As of March 31, 2025, no benefit has been provided for the quarter-to-date loss. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates
the positive and negative evidence to assess whether the more likely than not criteria have been satisfied in determining whether there
will be further adjustments to the valuation allowance.

The fair value of each option
is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model incorporates certain assumptions for inputs
including a risk-free market interest rate, expected dividend yield of the underlying common stock, expected option life and expected
volatility in the market value of the underlying common stock based on our historical volatility. The Company uses the simplified method
to estimate the expected term. The expected term of stock options granted to employees is equal to the contractual term of the option
award. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting
restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including
the expected stock price volatility because the Company’s stock options and warrants have characteristics different from those of
its traded stock, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.
There were no option grants
in the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The Company’s stock
option compensation expense was $ 0.1 million and $ 0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and there
was $ 1.3 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to outstanding stock options at March 31, 2025 which will be recognized
over 3.5 years. There were no options issued or exercised in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The number of stock options vested
and unvested as of March 31, 2025 were 395,531 and 255,373 , respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is generally included in selling,
general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.
Restricted Stock Units
In November 2022, the
Board approved a stock grant under the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, consisting of (i) a one-time grant of 142,500
restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and (ii) a target number of 142,500
performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) to further incentivize and align the CEO’s interest with the
Company. For the RSUs, 50% vested upon the grant date, 25% vested on February 1, 2024 and 25% vested on February 1, 2025. The number
of shares issuable under the PSUs were determined based on the achievement of performance metrics specific to the Company that were
measured at the end of fiscal year 2024. The fair value of both the RSUs and PSUs were based on the stock price of $13.05 per share
on the date of grant. The PSUs were reviewed to determine estimated performance over the term and then a factor was applied
ranging from 0% to 150% of the grant date fair value. As of December 31, 2024, based on the specific performance metrics set by the
Company, the target number of shares underlying the PSUs was increased by 44,531
shares of common stock for a total of 187,031
shares granted under the PSU. There have been no further grants as of the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Restricted Stock Awards
The Company issues restricted
stock awards to the members of its board of directors as compensation for such members’ services. Such grants generally vest ratably
over four 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
During the three months
ended March 31, 2025, the Company had exercisable warrants to purchase up to 200,000
shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to $17.00 issued to a consultant for investor relations
services to be provided over a five-year period starting in March 2023. The warrants are 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%, 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 warrant was recorded to prepaid expenses and other current assets to be recognized over the service period.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, $ 0.1
million was recorded as expense and at March 31, 2025, $1.0 million of cost has not been recognized and will be recognized over the
next 3 years. These warrants are not cashless and expire on March 31, 2028.

SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company has a single reportable segment focused
around providing clean-technology innovation focused on providing high-quality, renewably energized products. The Company’s chief
operating decision-maker (the “CODM”), who is the Chief Executive Officer, assesses performance for the reportable segment
and decides how to allocate resources using net income (loss) as the primary measure of profitability. The CODM is not regularly provided
with specific segment expenses, but focuses on revenue, gross profit, and net income. Expense information, including cost of sales, can
be easily computed from the provided information. These segment (and consolidated) measures of profitability are shown in the statements
of operations. The measure of segment assets are reported on the balance sheets as total assets.
15.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The continuing impacts of rising interest rates,
inflation, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and geopolitical developments, such as the imposition of tariffs and shifts in international
alliances, have resulted, and may continue to result, in a global slowdown of economic activity, which may decrease demand for a broad
variety of goods and services, including those provided by the Company’s clients and as a result, the Company, while also disrupting
supply channels, sales channels and advertising and marketing activities for an unknown period of time. Additionally, recent changes to
U.S. policy implemented by the U.S. Congress, and the Executive Branch and the responses of other nations to such actions have impacted
and may in the future impact, among other things, the U.S. and global economy, international alliances and trade relations, unemployment,
immigration, healthcare, taxation, the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation and other areas. As a result of the current uncertainty
regarding economic activity, the Company is unable to predict the size and duration of the impact of its revenue and its results of operations,
if any, of actions taken to date and those that may occur in the future. The extent of the potential impact of these macroeconomic factors
on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on a variety of factors, including the extent of geopolitical
disruption and its impact on the Company’s clients, partners, industry and employees, all of which are uncertain at this time and
cannot be accurately predicted. The Company continues to monitor the effects of these macroeconomic factors and intends to take steps
deemed appropriate to limit the impact on its business.
There
can be no assurance that precautionary measures, whether adopted by the Company or imposed by others, will be effective, and such measures
could negatively affect its sales, marketing, and client service efforts, delay and lengthen its sales cycles, decrease its employees’,
clients’, or partners’ productivity, or create operational or other challenges, any of which could harm its business and results
of operations.

Overview
Beam is a clean-technology
innovation company headquartered in San Diego, California with factories in the U.S. in San Diego, California and Broadview, Illinois
and in Europe in Belgrade and Kraljevo, Serbia. We develop, design, engineer, manufacture, and sell high-quality, renewably energized
infrastructure products for electric vehicle (“EV”) charging, infrastructure for Smart Cities (the interconnected physical
and digital elements within a city that utilize technology to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and quality of life for residents),
energy security and disaster preparedness and highly energy-dense battery solutions in safe, compact and unique form-factors. Additionally,
we manufacture steel structures with electronic integration such as street lighting, cell towers and energy infrastructure products as
well as power electronics including invertors, charge controllers, power supplies and LED lighting. Beam’s energy storage products
provide high energy density in 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.
Our EV charging infrastructure
products are powered by locally generated renewable energy and enable vital and highly valuable services in locations where it is either
too expensive, disruptive, or impossible to connect to a utility grid, or where the requirements for electrical power are so important
that grid failures, like blackouts, are intolerable. We do not compete with EV charging companies; rather, we assist these companies by
offering infrastructure solutions that replace the time-consuming and expensive process of construction and electrical work which are
usually required to install traditional grid-tied EV chargers. We also do not compete with utility companies. Our products enable utilities
and others to deliver reliable and low-cost electricity to EV chargers and, in the case of a grid failure, to first responders and others,
through our integrated emergency power panels.
Our charging products are
rapidly deployed without the need for construction or electrical work. We compete with the highly fragmented and disintegrated ecosystem
of general contractors, electrical contractors, consultants, engineers, permitting specialists and others, who are required to perform
a traditional grid-tied EV charger installation construction and electrical project. Our clean-technology products are designed to replace
a complicated, expensive, time-consuming and risk prone process with an easy, robust and reliable product at a low cost of total ownership.
We provide energy storage
technologies that we believe make commodity battery cells safer, longer lasting and more energy efficient. Our battery management systems,
and associated packaging, make batteries safer and usable in a variety of mobility, energy-security, and stationary applications.
Our street lighting and other
street furniture products are mass produced and sold in 18 nations globally. We are increasingly adding power electronics, energy storage,
computing, sensing and reporting to our street furniture products as we evolve them to provided greater levels of Smart Cities services.
Beam’s renewably energized
infrastructure products and proprietary technology solutions target markets that are experiencing significant growth with annual global
spending in billions of dollars.

The Company focuses on creating
high-quality products that are powered primarily by renewable energy, rapidly deployable, have diverse use cases and are attractively
designed. We believe that there is a clear need for rapidly deployable and highly scalable EV charging and infrastructure for Smart Cities,
and that our EV ARC™, BeamBike™, BeamPatrol™, BeamSkoot™, BeamSpot™ and other street furniture products
fulfill that requirement. We are agnostic to the EV charging service equipment as we do not sell EV charging, rather we sell products
which enable it. Our EV charging infrastructure products replace the traditional infrastructure required to support EV chargers, not the
chargers themselves.
We have over thirty years
of experience deploying street-lighting, transportation, energy and telecommunications infrastructure products as a result of our 2023
acquisition of Amiga in Serbia. We have relationships with existing customers to whom we are now able to sell our renewably energized
EV charging infrastructure products as well as our Smart Cities products.
During the second half
of 2024 we significantly expanded our product portfolio with the addition of rapidly deployed and highly scalable charging
infrastructure products for electric bicycles, electric scooters, and electric motorcycles. We also introduced de-salination as a
capability to enhance the lifesaving aspects of our disaster preparedness products. Powered by 100% renewable energy, our
BeamWell™ self-sufficient water treatment system converts seawater into vital freshwater. It is equipped with four eMopeds for
efficient and rapid transport in environments such as war zones, disaster or crisis zones, where people need drinking water,
electricity and mobility most.
Our ability to make
commodity battery cells safer, longer lived and more energy efficient in bespoke enclosures is, we believe, a significant
differentiator as we move to an increasingly electrified and untethered world. All of our renewably energized products generate
their own electricity and are stored in our integrated batteries. Our ability to develop energy-dense, highly safe batteries in
unique shapes and sizes allows us to serve customers with specialized needs, including manufacturers of drones, robotic and
medical devices, submersibles, refrigerated transport units, and a wide range of other applications. We are also able to enhance our
patented products which provide electric vehicle charging, energy security disaster preparedness through the creation of bespoke
energy-dense and safe battery products which are unique to our in-house portfolio.
We believe our chief differentiators
are:
·
Our patented, renewably energized products dramatically reduce the cost, time and complexity of the installation and operation of EV charging infrastructure when compared to traditional, utility grid tied alternatives;
·
Our proprietary and patented energy storage solutions;
·
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;
·
Our products’ 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;
·
Our ability to add electrical capacity to provide for the significant increase demand brought by electrified transportation, data centers, AI and the electrification of industry, without having to go through expensive, time-consuming and risky utility grid expansion (adding power stations, transmission lines and distribution infrastructure like substations);
·
Our ability to create new and patentable products which are marketable and consist of a complex integration of our proprietary technology and parts with other commonly available engineered components, which create a further barrier to entry for our competition;
·
Our ability to create products which provide valuable solutions to nascent industries with very large market opportunities globally;
·
Our geographic footprint in North America and Europe, and existing customer base and contracts.

Overall Business Outlook
Our revenues for the
first three months of 2025 were $6.3 million, a 57% decrease from $14.6 million for the first three months in 2024. We believe that
the decrease in revenue is a result of uncertainty in the U.S. government’s zero emission vehicle strategy
related to the presidential election. These matters have particularly impacted our larger federal customers and we do not believe
that they signify any fundamental reduction in demand for our products. Our pipeline of prospective customer orders has increased
during the same period, although we cannot be sure of when, or if, those prospective orders will turn into actual sales. As we have
continued investment in our sales resources, in September 2024 we hired a new Vice President of Sales in the U.S. and a new Director
of Channel Partnerships in Europe to drive growth in commercial and government sectors. Revenues were diverse across federal, state
and local governments, as well as enterprise and education sector customers. International customers comprised 25% of all revenue as
of March 31, 2025 verses 11% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Revenues derived from non-government commercial entities
increased by 41% for the three months from 2024 to 2025 and were 53% of total revenues in 2025. For the three months ended, March
31, 2025, the Company’s sales to federal, state and local governments represented 47% of revenues verses 84% of the same
period revenues in 2024.
We
continue to invest in sales employees, marketing resources, diversifying our product portfolio with new product offerings and expanding
our geographic footprint to reduce our reliance on single large orders of our EV ARC™ product from federal agencies, although we
believe that that opportunity still exists. The receipt of orders may continue to be uneven due to the timing of customer approvals or
budget cycles, however we believe that as EV adoption increases and our new and existing products are brought to larger international
audiences, our business will be less impacted by specific variations in order timing. We have initiated a program of resellers, agents
and distributors, as a sales force multiplication strategy without adding to our operating costs, as they are only compensated when they
sell products. This means that we can take our greatly expanded product portfolio and sell it into greatly expanded geographic opportunities,
without having to invest significantly. We now have resellers and agents in the United States, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Caribbean, Central
America, the Balkans, the Middle East, Africa and Australia.
The Company believes there
continues to be a high level of support for funding EV charging infrastructure from both commercial and government entities, including
a number of federal grants available under the Inflation Reduction Act. In addition, certain of our commercial customers may benefit from
the Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit and accelerated depreciation as allowed under Section 179 of the IRS code which, we believe, provides
a competitive advantage for our products over traditionally installed EV charging infrastructure which is not eligible for these incentives.
Given these available incentives, we have invested in a federal lobbyist, a federal business development resource and a government relations
employee, who have helped to identify opportunities and increase awareness of our product and outreach with federal agencies. We have
in place a Multiple Award Schedule Contract with the General Services Administration (GSA) that helps streamline purchases from Federal
agencies and state and local governments. In addition, the GSA awarded Beam Global a federal blanket purchase agreement in April 2022
which provides federal agencies a streamlined procurement process for procuring EV ARC™ systems. In the three months ended March
31, 2025, we recorded revenues of $3.0 million for federal customers, compared to $12.2 million for the same period in 2024. We expect
to see uneven orders from quarter to quarter, especially with our federal customers, but over time we expect our revenues to grow. Our
commercial, non-government, revenues increased as a percentage of our revenues from 16% to 53% from the first three months of 2024 to
the first three months of 2025. Our geographic expansion into Europe and our additional business development activities in the Middle
East and Africa are, we believe, also providing opportunities for growth which are not dependent on, or impacted by, shifts in US government
zero emission vehicle policies. The new products we have brought to market offer values which are also not dependent upon US federal government
investment.
We expect the electric vehicle
market to continue to experience significant growth globally over the next decade, which will in turn increase demand for additional EV
charging infrastructure. We believe we are positioned to benefit significantly from this growth. Additionally, by achieving compliance
with the Build America, Buy America Act, which ensures that our products are manufactured in the United States using a sufficient amount
of domestically sourced materials, we will meet federal domestic production requirements. Furthermore, obtaining the CE mark (Conformité
Européenne) a mandatory certification indicating that a product complies with European Union (EU) health, safety, and environmental
protection standards, on EV ARC™, BeamBike™, BeamWell™ and BeamPatrol™ products, will allow our products to be
freely traded within the European Economic Area (EEA). We believe these achievements will enhance our credibility, strengthen consumer
trust, and increase demand for our products, particularly among federal, state, and local government agencies.
26
As a result of the
acquisition of All Cell we now have the ability to value engineer bespoke battery solutions for our products. Beam
All-Cell ™ batteries are ideally suited for applications where energy density, safety and bespoke enclosures require
high power in small spaces. Drones, submersibles, recreational products and a host of micro mobility and electric vehicle products
are already benefiting from our Beam All-Cell ™ highly differentiated products. With the continued growth of
untethered electrification, we believe there is an opportunity for increased demand in these markets and others.
In
October 2023, the Company acquired Amiga (now renamed Beam Europe), an established manufacturer of specialized steel structures and equipment,
producing streetlights, communications and energy infrastructure whose manufacturing, engineering and sales teams service municipalities,
states and commercial customers in 18 nations. The addition of Amiga has expanded Beam’s
presence into the European, Middle Eastern and African markets and increased our production, engineering, sales and product development
expertise. The EU has mandated a transition to zero emission vehicles by 2035 and they are heavily focused on green and sustainable energy.
An increase in electric vehicles adoptions will increase the demand for charging infrastructure. We believe that our sustainably energized,
rapidly deployed and highly scalable products can play a major role in the provision of EV charging infrastructure for all types of electric
vehicles, bikes, scooters and motorcycles in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
On August 30, 2024, Beam acquired
Telcom d.o.o. Beograd (“Telcom”), a business located in Serbia and engaged in the manufacturing of power electronics and telecommunications
equipment. Telcom engineers and manufacturers specialized in power electronics including invertors, charge controllers, power supplies
and LED lighting. Telcom has electrical engineering, product development and manufacturing capabilities which Beam believes are ideally
suited to improve the Company’s current and future products for the global market while reducing our costs and improving our margins.
Telcom has a well-respected and highly talented team of electrical engineers, focused on power electronics and the integration of renewables
and energy storage. Existing Telcom customers include the region’s largest telecommunications company as well as other corporate
entities which we believe provide further opportunities for cross selling the other products in our portfolio.
In November 2024, we deployed
our first sponsorship funded network of EV ARC™ systems at Belgrade International Airport in Serbia. Beam Global retains ownership
of the deployed EV ARC™ units and receives recurring payments from Globos Osiguranje, the region’s fastest growing insurance
company. In return, Globos Osiguranje benefits from prominent brand visibility, with their branding displayed on EV ARC™ systems
installed in high-traffic parking spaces closest to the airport terminal. These branded systems are strategically positioned to be visible
to travelers as they arrive at and depart from the airport. We also entered into an agreement with Vinci Airports, the world’s leading
private airport operator with over 70 airports under management internationally, which does not require us to pay rent because of the
amenity value that is delivered to the airport through the provision of a free driving on sunshine experience for their visitors and guests.
We believe that we may be able to repeat this model in other Vinci airports around the world. We also believe that now that we have successfully
proved that this business model works, we can further expand it into different types of environments where there are sufficient densities
of people to make the advertising worthwhile.
In December 2024, we partnered
with Benzina Zero, an innovative provider of electric mopeds and scooters, electric bicycles and
micro-mobility solutions. Benzina Zero (which is Italian for zero gasoline) is Australia’s leading e-mobility brand offering
a range of e-scooters, e-mopeds, e-bikes and e-motorcycles. Benzina Zero work with global fleet businesses across a number of industries
including food delivery, postal delivery to eco-tourism, and boast a comprehensive dealer network Australia-wide. Benzina Zero have appointed
distributors in Australia, Italy, United Kingdom, Ireland, Slovenia and Croatia and are also active in New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore,
Philippines and Finland. We will bundle Benzina Zero e-mobility solutions with products BeamBike™, BeamWell™ and BeamSkoot™,
and will introduce Benzina’s highly ruggedized products to Beam’s existing customers and prospects globally. This is another
approach to increase our sales channels without adding overhead costs.
Our energy security business
is also connected with the deployment of our EV charging infrastructure products and serves as an additional benefit to the value proposition
of our charging products which, along with their integrated emergency power panels, can continue to operate, charge EVs, and deliver emergency
power during utility grid failures. Our state-of-the-art storage batteries installed on our EV charging systems are immune to grid failures
and provide another benefit for customers such as municipalities, counties, states, the federal government, hospitals, fire departments,
large private enterprises with substantial facilities, and vehicle fleet operators. Drones, submersibles, recreational products and a
host of micro mobility and electric vehicle products are already benefiting from our Beam All-Cell ™ highly differentiated
products. With the continued growth of untethered electrification, we believe there is an opportunity for increased demand in these markets
and others.
27
We are in development on our
newest patented products which include BeamSpot™, UAV ARC™ and others, which we expect will continue to expand our product
offerings leveraging the same proprietary technology as our current products and allow us to expand into new markets. Beam Europe (formerly
Amiga) is one of Europe’s largest manufacturers of streetlights and has a team of qualified structural, electrical and civil engineers
who are experts in the field of development and deployment of street lighting. They are working with our engineers in San Diego and Broadview
to continually improve the engineering and development of our new BeamSpot™ product. We believe that BeamSpot™ may become
our largest selling product. BeamSpot™ is currently in the process of being installed and we received our first order for that product
within two months of it being launched.
In addition, EV ARC™,
BeamBike™, BeamWell™ and BeamPatrol™ products have fulfilled the requirements to receive the CE mark (Conformité
Européenne), a mandatory symbol indicating that a product meets European Union (EU) health, safety and environmental protection
requirements, allowing it to be freely traded within the European Economic Area (EEA).
The Company reported a positive
gross profit of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.5 million gross profit in 2024. Our gross margin
as a percentage of sales was 7.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2025,
88.4% of ARC sales reflected our price increase implemented in 2023. Our gross profits included a negative impact of $1.0 million for
non-cash depreciation and intangible amortization. Our gross margin net of non-cash items was 20.6%. We expect to see our costs of goods
sold continue to decrease over time. We have continued to implement lean manufacturing process improvements and making engineering changes
to our products which we expect to result in cost reductions. Many of the components that we integrate into our products are manufactured
by others. We continue to identify components and sub-assemblies that may be more cost effective to produce in our Serbian facilities,
which we believe may further reduce our costs, increase our gross margins, and significantly increase the potential output from our US-based
factories. We expect that the receipt of orders may be inconsistent quarter over quarter, however, we expect that in the long term, our
revenues will grow as we expand our product offerings and geographic reach and because we expect to see a significant increase in the
global demand for electric vehicle charging infrastructure. As such we do not anticipate significant pricing pressure on our products.
The increase in demand for electric vehicle charging infrastructure and, we believe, over the long term, our revenues, combined with the
cost-cutting measures described above, lead us to believe that we will continue to see improvement in our gross margins in the future.
Beam Europe has the capability to perform several activities which we outsource in the US. We believe that in combination with a generally
less expensive operating environment in Serbia, we will be able to produce our products in Europe less expensively than in the U.S., even
as we continue to reduce our costs in the U.S.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The financial statements and
related disclosures were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require us to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates in our condensed consolidated financial statements include,
but are not limited to, accounting for acquisitions and business combinations; initial valuation and subsequent impairment testing of
goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets; leases; fair value of financial instruments, income taxes; inventory; and commitments
and contingencies. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable
under the circumstances, and we continually evaluate our assumptions and modify as needed. To the extent there are material differences
between our estimates and the actual results, our future results of operations will be affected. There have been no changes since year
end, refer back to the Company’s Form 10-K for December 31, 2024.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Results of Operations for the
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
Revenues. For
the three months ended March 31, 2025, our revenues decreased 57% to $6.3 million compared to $14.6 million for 2024. During the three
months ended March 31, 2025, $1.0 million, or 14% of product sales, were to Federal customers. State and Local governments customers accounted
for $2.1 million, or 33% of revenues. We continue to invest in sales, marketing and government relation employees, resources and programs
to raise awareness of the benefits and value of our products. The receipt of orders may continue to be uneven due to the timing of customer
approvals or budget cycles, however we believe that as EV adoption increases in concert with increased availability of infrastructure
funding, our business will be less impacted by specific variations in order timing.
28
Gross Profit. The Company
reported a positive gross profit of $0.5 million, a 7.9% gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a gross profit
of $1.5 million, a 10.2% gross margin in 2024. Additionally, 24.1% of ARC sales in 2024 reflected the price increase implemented in 2023
and 88.4% in the first three months ending March 31, 2025. The gross profit includes a non-cash negative impact of $0.2 million for amortization
of intangible assets resulting from the All Cell acquisition. Without this non-cash expense, gross profit for 2025 would be $0.7 million,
a 10.9% gross margin. Our engineering team has continued to implement design changes during 2024 which reduced the bill of materials for
the EV ARC TM , improving the product margins throughout 2024. We expect the Company’s revenue to grow in the future and
our fixed overhead absorption to continue to improve.
Operating Expenses and
Impairment of Goodwill. Total operating expenses were $16.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $4.5 million
in 2024. The 2025 operating expenses included a $10.8 million goodwill impairment and a $0.8 million increase due to European acquisitions.
Based on the results of the Company’s goodwill impairment procedures, the Company recorded goodwill impairment for the single reporting
unit during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company believes the goodwill impairment reported during the three months ended
March 31, 2025 is not a negative indicator of historic or current operating results and not a negative indicator of future performance
as the Company has taken significant steps to diversify its geographical reach and product offerings while focusing strategic growth.
The Company believes that the resulting non-cash charge has no impact on the Company’s compliance with its cash flows or available
liquidity.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2025, we had
cash of $2.5 million, compared to $5.0 million at March 31, 2024. We have historically met our cash needs through a combination
of debt and equity financing and most recently through gross profit contribution. Our cash requirements are generally for operating activities
and acquisitions.
Management believes the Company’s
present cash flows will enable it to meet its obligations for twelve months from the date of these financial statements. Management will
continue to assess its operational needs and seek additional financing as needed to fund its operations.
Our cash flows from operating,
investing and financing activities, as reflected in the statements of cash flows, are summarized in the table below:

For the three months ended
March 31, 2025, our cash used in operating activities was $1.8 million compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Net loss of $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was decreased by $12.5 million of non-cash expense items that included
$10.8 million for Goodwill impairment, $1.0 million for depreciation and amortization, $0.5 million for stock-based compensation and $0.2
million in provisions for credit losses. Cash used in operations also included a $0.7 million decrease in accounts payable, $0.7 million
decrease in accounts receivable, $0.6 million decrease in inventory and $0.1 million decrease in accrued expenses offset by $0.2 million
increase in accrued expenses related to short term taxes payable, $0.2 million increase in other long term liabilities and $0.2 million
increase in deferred revenue.
For the three months ended
March 31, 2024, our cash used in operating activities was $3.0 million compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Net loss of $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was adjusted by $1.1 million of non-cash expense items that included
depreciation and amortization of $0.9 million, employee stock-based compensation expense of $0.6 million, offset by decreases of $0.3
million provision on credit losses and $0.1 million for a change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities. Further, cash
used in operations included a $3.9 million increase in accounts receivable due to the increase in revenues and the timing of customer
payments. Cash generated from operations included a $1.0 million increase in accounts payable primarily for inventory, $1.1 million increase
in accrued expenses, $0.4 million decrease in inventory, $0.3 million increase in deferred revenue and $0.2 million decrease in prepaid
expenses and other current assets.
Cash used in investing activities
in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 was $0.1 million related to the purchases of equipment in both years. The
three months ended March 31, 2024, included a $2.7 million reduction of deferred consideration for a cash payment for the Amiga acquisition.
29
For the three months ended
March 31, 2025, cash used by our financing activities was $15 thousand related to repayments of note payables related to auto leases compared
to $25 thousand borrowings in the prior year. Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, cash generated by our financing
activities included $0.3 million for the exercise of warrants net of offering expenses.
Current assets decreased
to $23.6 million at March 31, 2025 from $27.1 million at December 31, 2024, primarily due to a $2.1 million decrease in cash, $1.0 million
decrease in accounts receivable, and $0.4 million decrease in Inventory. Current liabilities decreased $0.4 million at March 31, 2025
compared to December 31, 2024, primarily due to a $0.6 million decrease in accounts payable offset by $0.2 million increase in sales
tax payable. As a result, our working capital decreased to $10.8 million at March 31, 2025 compared to $13.8 million at December 31,
2024.
The Company has been focused
on marketing and sales efforts to increase our revenues, and we believe those efforts have led to an increase in revenues by 144% from
2021 to 2022 and 206% from 2022 to 2023. Even though there was a decrease in revenues by 27% from 2023 to 2024, we believe our marketing
and sales efforts have been impactful. The Company has improved its gross profit in 2024 and will continue to in 2025, and it is expected
to improve in the future as a result of a price increases implemented late 2023 being almost fully recognized in 2025 and benefits from
cost reductions from several design changes. As revenues increase, we expect to continue to see our fixed overhead costs spread over more
units, which will reduce the cost per unit further. The Company continued to see material cost reductions as synergies are recognized,
especially with steel and battery cells, and we expect this trend to continue. This combined with engineering and manufacturing improvements
should result in increasing gross profit margin on the EV ARC™ in the future.
The Company may be required
to raise capital to fund its operations until it achieves positive cash flow, which is predicated on increasing sales volumes and the
continuation of production cost reduction measures. The Company could pursue other equity or debt financing. The proceeds from these
offerings are expected to provide working capital to fund business operations and the development of new products. Management cannot
currently predict when or if it will achieve positive cash flow. 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.
The proceeds from these offerings are expected to provide working capital to fund business operations and the development of new products.
Management cannot currently predict when or if it will achieve positive cash flow.
On March 22, 2023, the Company
entered into that certain Supply Chain Line of Credit with OCI Limited (“OCI”), whereby OCI may provide a supply chain line
of credit in the amount of up to $100 million based on the amounts of approved accounts receivable of the Company (the “Credit Facility”).
In order to request a drawdown on the Credit Facility, the Company is required to submit a transaction request to OCI which sets forth
the terms of the applicable account receivables, including but not limited to the name of the party responsible for the applicable account
receivables (the “Obligor”), the terms of repayment and the amount of such receivables. The Company has no obligation to submit
a drawdown request and OCI is not obligated to accept any drawdown request from the Company. In the event OCI accepts a drawdown request
of the Company and upon satisfaction of certain conditions required by OCI to issue the drawdown, OCI will disburse funds to the Company
for such drawdown in an amount equal to the full value of the applicable account receivables assigned to OCI minus any transaction expenses
incurred by OCI and the full amount of interest to be incurred for such receivables over the term of the drawdown. The Company will pay
interest on any drawdown at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate +300 basis points. Upon the disbursement of funds to the Company for
a drawdown, the Company will assign all rights to such account receivables of the Obligor to OCI. The Company will act as collection agent
on any account receivable assigned to OCI and agrees to establish a designated bank account for the purpose of collecting payment on any
applicable account receivable that are assigned to OCI. In the event (i) the Company is in material breach of the Credit Facility, (ii)
the Company or the Obligor is insolvent or is subject to reorganization or liquidation, or (iii) any dispute related to an agreement with
an Obligor or non-payment by an Obligor, OCI has the right to exercise any contractual rights it may have against Obligor, increase the
interest rate to the agreed upon default interest rate, and demand immediate repayment by the Company for the outstanding amounts owed
under such account receivables. The Company has also agreed to indemnify OCI for any losses incurred by OCI in connection with the Credit
Facility. Either party may terminate the Credit Facility at any time by providing fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the other
party. To date, Beam Global has not drawn on this line of credit.
30
On April 11, 2025, the Company
entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc., pursuant to which the Company has the right, but not
the obligation, to sell up to $8 million in shares of its common stock, subject to certain terms and conditions.
Management believes that evolution
in the operations of the Company may allow it to execute its strategic plan and enable it to experience profitable growth in the future.
This evolution is anticipated to include the following continual steps: addition of sales personnel and independent sales channels, reductions
in direct costs due to engineering and manufacturing improvements, continued management of overhead costs, increased overhead absorption
resulting from volume growth, process improvements and vendor negotiations leading to cost reductions, increased public awareness of the
Company and its products, and the continued acceleration of average sales cycle opportunities. Management believes that these steps, if
successful, may enable the Company to generate sufficient revenue to continue operations. There is no assurance, however, as to if or
when the Company will be able to achieve those operating objectives.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance
sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources, that are material to investors.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not Applicable
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures”
in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that
any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired
control objectives, and management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls
and procedures.
Our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based
upon the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, the disclosure controls
and procedures of our Company were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports was
recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis due to material weakness in internal controls as identified below.
As reported in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, management identified the following material weaknesses:
· Ineffective design and implementation over Information
Technology General Controls (“ITGCs”)
· The Company does not have sufficient controls
in place to ensure that all inventory is appropriately tracked and recorded on a timely basis, given the lack of an automated tracking
system and the manual nature of its current processes and controls surrounding inventory
· The Company did not maintain adequate controls
relating to documentation of the review and approval of reconciliations and other schedules prepared internally to be included or disclosed
in the financial statements. Many of our reports and reconciliations are performed in Excel spreadsheets, and we did not adequately validate
the segregation of duties between the preparer and the approver with a signature and time stamp
· Appropriate segregation of duties that
would adequately restrict user access and ensure adequate review of transactions. Because we are a small company, many employees
have multiple job responsibilities, and during the implementation in Q4, access was allowed for employees to access necessary tasks.
As we move forward into 2025, we will assign access to ensure the proper segregation of duties. Additionally, we need to ensure the
employees are adequately trained and able to resolve issues in a timely way. The Company needs to establish appropriate procedures for
change management to ensure changes to the system are formally approved, properly restricted to appropriate personnel, and
adequately tested
· The Company did not maintain sufficient controls
related to Beam Europe
· The Company did not complete a Sarbanes-Oxley
(SOX) Section 404A assessment
31
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company is continuing
to actively work to remediate the material weaknesses described above, including the need for additional remediation steps and implementing
additional measures to remediate the underlying causes that give rise to the material weaknesses. During the three months ended March
31, 2025, the Company has taken various actions to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting, including:
·
Continue to review access in NetSuite ERP to ensure the proper segregation of duties and additional training courses to ensure the employees are trained and able to resolve issues timely.
·
Managed processes related to ordering, counting, warehousing, valuing and transacting our inventory in NetSuite ERP.
·
Increasing and monitoring the adequacy of staffing levels and expertise with the requisite technical knowledge and skills to support continued enhancement on the controls and procedures surrounding documentation of review and formalization of reconciliations, accounting policies and controls.
·
Continue to manage a segregation of duties between the preparer and the approver of reconciliation and supporting schedules which included hiring additional staff.
The material weaknesses will
be considered remediated when management concludes that, through testing, the applicable remedial controls are designed, implemented and
operating effectively. As management continues to evaluate and improve disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial
reporting, the Company may decide to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify, or in appropriate
circumstances not to complete, certain of the remediation measures identified.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company may from time
to time become party to actions, claims, suits, investigations or proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business, including
actions with respect to intellectual property claims, breach of contract claims, labor and employment claims and other matters. Any litigation
could divert management time and attention from the Company, could involve significant amounts of legal fees and other fees and expenses,
or could result in an adverse outcome having a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
Actions, claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain, and their results cannot be predicted with certainty.
We are not currently involved in any legal proceedings that we believe are, individually or in the aggregate, material to our business,
