Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Unaudited
(In thousands, except share and per share data and percentages)
1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, have been prepared by BK Technologies Corporation (the “Company” or “we”), and are unaudited. On March 28, 2019, BK Technologies, Inc., the predecessor of BK Technologies Corporation, implemented a holding company reorganization, which resulted in BK Technologies Corporation becoming the direct parent company of, and the successor issuer to, BK Technologies, Inc. For the purpose of this report, references to “we” or the “Company” or its management or business at any period prior to the holding company reorganization (March 28, 2019) refer to those of BK Technologies, Inc., as the predecessor company and its subsidiaries and thereafter to those of BK Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries, except as otherwise specified or to the extent the context otherwise indicates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which include normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation, have been made. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020, has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 3, 2021. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.
Principles of Consolidation
The accounts of the Company have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The Company determines whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity by first evaluating whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or a voting interest entity.
VIEs are entities in which (i) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to enable the entity to finance its activities independently, or (ii) the at-risk equity holders do not have the normal characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest in a VIE is present when an enterprise has one or more variable interests that have both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The enterprise with a controlling financial interest is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE.
Voting interest entities lack one or more of the characteristics of a VIE. The usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest for a corporation or a majority of kick-out or participating rights for a limited partnership.
When the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in an entity but exerts significant influence over the entity’s operating and financial policies (generally defined as owning a voting or economic interest of between 20 % to 50 %), the Company’s investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. If the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in, or exert significant influence over, an entity, the Company accounts for its investment at fair value, if the fair value option was elected, or at cost.
The Company has an investment in FG Financial Group, Inc. (formerly 1347 Property Insurance Holdings, Inc.), made through FGI 1347 Holdings, LP, a consolidated VIE.

Table of Contents
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, investment in securities, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, credit facilities, and other liabilities. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, and other liabilities approximated their respective fair value due to the short-term nature and maturity of these instruments.
The Company uses observable market data assumptions (Level 1 inputs, as defined in accounting guidance) that it believes market participants would use in pricing investment in securities.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework–Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement,” which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, including the removal of certain disclosure requirements. The amendments in the ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of the ASU. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2020, and the adoption did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have a material impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
2. Significant Events and Transactions
Pursuant to the Company’s capital return program, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $ 0.02 per share of the Company’s common stock on July 9, 2021, to stockholders of record as of July 26, 2021. These dividends were paid on August 9, 2021.
On June 9, 2021, the Company closed a public offering of 4,249,250 shares of its common stock at a price of $ 3.00 per share, for net proceeds of $ 11,559,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company. The shares sold in the offering included the exercise in-full by the underwriters of their over-allotment option to purchase up to 554,250 shares of common stock in addition to the 3,695,000 shares which the underwriters initially agreed to purchase. ThinkEquity, a division of Fordham Financial Management, Inc., acted as sole book-running manager for the offering. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering primarily for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, operational purposes, strategic investments and potential acquisitions in complementary businesses.
3. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts on trade receivables was approximately $ 50 on gross trade receivables of $ 7,260 and $ 6,516 at June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. This allowance is used to state trade receivables at a net realizable value or the amount that the Company estimates will be collected of the Company’s gross trade receivables.
4. Inventories, Net
Inventories, which are presented net of allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventory, consisted of the following:
June 30, 2021
December 31, 2020
Finished goods
$ 2,459
$ 1,975
Work in process

Raw materials
6,038
4,178
$ 12,036
$ 9,441

Table of Contents
Allowances for slow-moving, excess, or obsolete inventory are used to state the Company’s inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The allowances were approximately $ 888 at June 30, 2021, compared with approximately $ 520 at December 31, 2020.
5. Income Taxes
The Company has recorded income tax expense of $ 184 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, compared with an income tax expense of $ 28 for the same periods last year.
The Company’s income tax provision is based on management’s estimate of the effective tax rate for the full year. The tax provision (benefit) in any period will be affected by, among other things, permanent, as well as temporary, differences in the deductibility of certain items, in addition to changes in tax legislation. As a result, the Company may experience significant fluctuations in the effective book tax rate (that is, tax expense divided by pre-tax book income) from period to period.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s net deferred tax assets totaled approximately $ 4,116 and were primarily derived from research and development tax credits, deferred revenue, and net operating loss carryforwards.
In order to fully utilize the net deferred tax assets, the Company will need to generate sufficient taxable income in future years. The Company analyzed all positive and negative evidence to determine if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not to realize the benefit of the net deferred tax assets. The recognition of the net deferred tax assets and related tax benefits is based upon the Company’s conclusions regarding, among other considerations, estimates of future earnings based on information currently available and current and anticipated customers, contracts, and product introductions, as well as historical operating results and certain tax planning strategies.
Based on the analysis of all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company has concluded that it does not have the ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the necessary period to utilize the entire benefit for the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company established a valuation allowance of $ 98 . The Company cannot presently estimate what, if any, changes to the valuation of its deferred tax assets may be deemed appropriate in the future. If the Company incurs future losses, it may be necessary to record additional valuation allowance related to the deferred tax assets recognized as of June 30, 2021.
6. Investment in Securities
1347 LP
The Company has an investment in a limited partnership, FGI 1347 Holdings, LP, of which the Company is the sole limited partner. FGI 1347 Holdings, LP (“1347 LP”), was established for the purpose of investing in securities.
Affiliates of Fundamental Global Investors, LLC (“FG”), serve as the general partner and the investment manager of 1347 LP, and the Company is the sole limited partner. As the sole limited partner, the Company is entitled to 100 % of net assets held by 1347 LP. The general partner of 1347 LP is entitled to reimbursement of certain costs, fees, and expenses arising in connection with 1347 LP’s operations, as provided by the partnership agreement, upon approval by the Company’s Board of Directors.
FG Financial Group
As of June 30, 2021, the Company indirectly held approximately $ 76 in cash and 477,282 shares of FG Financial Group, Inc. (formerly 1347 Property Insurance Holdings, Inc.) (Nasdaq: FGF) (“FGF”), with fair value of $ 4,481 , through an investment in 1347 LP. These shares were purchased in March and May 2018 for approximately $ 3,741 . For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized unrealized gains on the investment of approximately $2,262 and $ 2,467 , respectively, compared with unrealized losses of $ 200 and $ 506 , respectively for the same periods last year.

9. Non-Cash Share-Based Employee Compensation
The Company has an employee and non-employee director share-based incentive compensation plan. Related to these programs, the Company recorded non-cash share-based employee compensation expense of $ 33 and $ 65 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared with $ 30 and $ 60 , respectively, for the same period last year. The Company considers its non-cash share-based employee compensation expenses as a component of cost of products and selling, general and administrative expenses. There was no non-cash share-based employee compensation expense capitalized as part of capital expenditures or inventory for the periods presented.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model to calculate the fair value of stock option grants under this plan. The non-cash share-based employee compensation expense recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, was calculated using certain assumptions. Such assumptions are described more comprehensively in Note 10 (Share-Based Employee Compensation) of the Notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
A summary of activity under the Company’s stock option plans during the six months ended June 30, 2021, is presented below:

In December 2019, a novel strain of the coronavirus (COVID-19) surfaced in Wuhan, China, which spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. The pandemic may have the potential of adversely impacting our business and financial performance in the future. The extent of the potential impact will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and, given the continuing evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global responses to curb its spread, cannot be predicted. In addition, the pandemic has significantly increased economic uncertainty. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience an adverse impact to our business as a result of its national and, to some extent, global economic impact, including any recession that may occur in the future.
