ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Organization
and Operations
Blink
Charging Co., through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Blink”), is a leading owner,
operator, and provider of electric vehicle (“EV”) charging equipment and networked EV charging services. Blink offers residential
and commercial EV charging equipment, enabling EV drivers to recharge at various location types. Blink’s principal line of products
and services is its Blink EV charging networks (the “Blink Networks”) and Blink EV charging equipment, also known as electric
vehicle supply equipment (“EVSE”), and other EV-related services. The Blink Networks provide property owners, managers, parking
companies, and state and municipal entities (“Property Partners”) with cloud-based services that enable the remote monitoring
and management of EV charging stations. The Blink Networks also provide EV drivers with vital station information, including station
location, availability and fees. Blink also operates a ride-sharing program through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, BlueLA
Rideshare, LLC, and the City of Los Angeles which allows customers the ability to rent electric vehicles through a subscription service.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of
September 30, 2022 and for the three and nine months then ended. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2022 or any other period. These
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
and related disclosures of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 16, 2022 as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Risks
and Uncertainties
The
Covid-19 pandemic has impacted global stock markets and economies. The Company closely monitors the impact of the continuing
presence of Covid-19 and multiple Covid-19 variants. The Company has taken and continues to take precautions to ensure the safety of
its employees, customers and business partners, while assuring business continuity and reliable service and support to its
customers. The Company continues to receive orders for its products, although some shipments of equipment have been temporarily
delayed. The global chip shortage and supply chain disruption has caused some delays in equipment orders from its contract
manufacturer. As federal, state and local economies have reopened and returns to pre-pandemic levels, the Company expects demand for
charging station usage to increase, however, the Company is unable to predict the extent of such recovery due to the uncertainty of
Covid-19. Additionally, other recent macroeconomic events including rising inflation, slowing economic growth, changes in U.S.
and foreign government monetary policies, supply chain disruptions, fluctuations in currency exchange rates and the Russian invasion
of Ukraine have led to further economic uncertainty. As a result, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate impact of continuing
equipment order delays, chip shortages, the impact of other economic conditions and continuous presence of Covid-19 will have on its business, future results of operations,
financial position, or cash flows.

2. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Since
the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, there have been no material changes to the
Company’s significant accounting policies, except as disclosed in this note.
FOREIGN
CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The
Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar. The functional currency of certain subsidiaries is the Euro and the Indian
Rupee. Assets and liabilities are translated based on the exchange rates at the balance sheet date ( 0.9797
for the Euro, 0.0122
for the Indian Rupee,
and 1.1156
for the Pound Sterling as of
September 30, 2022), while expense accounts are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period ( 0.9797 for the Euro,
0.0123 for the Indian Rupee, and 1.1156 for the Pound Sterling for the nine months ended September 30, 2022). Equity accounts are translated
at historical exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recognized in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated
other comprehensive income. Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of an entity from all sources other than investments
by owners or distributions to owners and includes foreign currency translation adjustments as described above. Transaction gains and
losses are charged to the statement of operations as incurred. Transaction losses attributable to foreign exchange were $ 595
and $ 836
during the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Transaction losses attributable to foreign exchange were $ 16
and $ 124
during the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.
REVENUE
RECOGNITION
The
Company recognizes revenue primarily from five different types of contracts:
●
Product
sales – Revenue is recognized at the point where the customer obtains control of the goods and the Company satisfies its
performance obligation, which generally is at the time it ships the product to the customer.
●
Charging
service revenue – company-owned charging stations - Revenue is recognized at the point when a particular charging session
is completed.
●
Network
fees and other – Represents a stand-ready obligation whereby the Company is obligated to perform over a period of time
and, as a result, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Network fees are billed annually.
●
Ride-sharing
services – Primarily related to ride-sharing services agreement with the City of Los Angeles which allows customers the
ability to rent electric vehicles through a subscription service. The Company recognizes revenue over the contractual period of performance
of the subscription.
●
Other
– Other revenues primarily comprises of revenues generated from alternative fuel credits.

The
timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. A receivable is recorded when
revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the
provision of the related goods or services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied.
As
of September 30, 2022, the Company had $ 13,723 related to contract liabilities where performance obligations have not yet been satisfied,
which has been included within deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022. The Company expects
to satisfy $ 8,823 of its remaining performance obligations for network fees, charging services, warranty revenue, product sales, and
other revenues and recognize the revenue within the next twelve months.
During
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $ 333 and $ 824 , respectively, of revenues related to network
fees and warranty contracts, which were included in deferred revenues as of December 31, 2021. During the nine months ended September
30, 2022, there was no revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods.
Grants
and rebates which are not within the scope of ASC 606, pertaining to revenues and periodic expenses are recognized as income when the
related revenue and/or periodic expense are recorded. Grants and rebates related to EV charging stations and their installation are deferred
and amortized in a manner consistent with the related depreciation expense of the related asset over their useful lives over the useful
life of the charging station. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $ 83 and $ 55 ,
respectively, related to grant and rebate revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $ 283
and $ 280 , respectively, related to grant and rebate revenue. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was $ 4,304 and $ 70 of
deferred grant and rebate revenue to be amortized.
CONCENTRATIONS
There
were no accounts receivable concentrations as of September 30, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, accounts receivable from a significant
customer were approximately 18 % of total accounts receivable. There were no customer concentrations during the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2022. During the three months ended
September 30, 2021, sales to a significant customer represented 11 % of total revenue. During the three months ended September 30, 2021,
sales to another significant customer represented 10 % of total revenue. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company
made purchases from a significant supplier that represented 19 % of total purchases. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022,
the Company made purchases from a significant supplier that represented 26 % of total purchases. During the nine months ended September
30, 2022, the Company made purchases from another significant supplier that represented 12 % of total purchases.

OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
NET
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic
net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding
if the common share equivalents had been issued (computed using the treasury stock or if converted method), if dilutive.
The
following common share equivalents are excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding because their inclusion
would have been anti-dilutive:

3. OTHER ASSETS
On
April 19, 2022, the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent with a U.S. privately-held company (the “Target”)
providing for the possible purchase by the Company of all of the outstanding shares of the Target from its shareholders in
consideration for cash, a note and, under certain circumstances, shares of common stock of a subsidiary of the Company or, if such
subsidiary’s shares are not publicly-traded, common stock of the Company. In addition, in the letter of intent, the Company
agreed to extend a loan of $ 1,250
to the Target (the “Initial Loan”), in which $ 1,000
was loaned by the Company during the second quarter of 2022 and $ 250
was loaned in July 2022 pursuant to a 6 %
Secured Convertible Promissory Note signed by the Target. Under the terms of the Initial Loan, if the Company proceeds with the
possible stock purchase of the Target, the principal and accrued interest amount under the Initial Loan will be deducted from the
cash consideration paid to the Target’s shareholders at closing. If, however, the Company determines not to proceed with the
possible stock purchase of the Target, the Initial Loan will continue to accrue 6 %
interest per annum, and mature on the earliest of (i) a “Change of Control” (as defined in such note); (ii) the closing of the next
investment round by the Target; (iii) an Event of Default (as defined in such note); or (iv) May 1, 2027.
On September 22, 2022, the Company signed a
letter agreement concerning the extension of the development work that the Target was performing for a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company (the “Subsidiary”) under a Master Service Agreement that was executed on April 29, 2022 (the “Letter
Agreement”). Under the Letter Agreement, the Company agreed to extend additional loans to the Target to enable it to expand
the development work and to expedite the delivery of the development outcomes (the “Product”) to the Subsidiary. In
addition, the Letter Agreement provided that the Company will extend to the Target additional funding of up to $ 350 for hiring
additional developers and an additional $ 600 to support the Target’s operations until the development work is finalized and
accepted by the Company, which will be no later than November 30, 2022, or such later date that the parties may agree upon. The
total amount of the loans may reach up to $ 950 (the “Development Loan”), in each case upon the Target’s request
along with appropriate back-up documentation for such loan. $ 250 was loaned by the Company in September 2022. The Development Loan
was made pursuant to a 6% Grid Secured Convertible Promissory Note and an additional letter agreement, dated September 22, 2022,
signed by the Target with terms and conditions similar to those of the Initial Loan (the “Grid Note”). The Development
Loan has additional terms which provide that the Company may forfeit the Development Loan if the Target timely delivers the Product
and the Company fails to close the acquisition of the Target shortly thereafter. If, however, the Target fails to complete the
development work on time, the Company will not be obligated to close the acquisition of the Target and the entire Development Loan
will be payable to the Company under the same terms of the Initial Loan.
4. BUSINESS COMBINATONS
ELECTRIC
BLUE LIMITED ACQUISITION
On
April 22, 2022, pursuant to a Sale and Purchase Agreement dated April 22, 2022, the Company acquired, through its Dutch subsidiary, Blink
Holdings B.V., all of the outstanding capital stock of Electric Blue Limited, a private company limited by shares and registered in England
and Wales (“EB”), from its shareholders. Headquartered in St. Albans, United Kingdom, EB is a leading
provider of electric vehicle charging and sustainable energy solutions and technologies. EB works with local authorities and businesses
to create the infrastructure the United Kingdom needs to meet the 2050 net zero emissions target and prepare for the 2030 ban on the
sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans.
The
fair value purchase price for the acquisition of all of EB’s outstanding capital stock was $ 19,317 , consisting of $ 12,651 in cash,
152,803 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $ 2,852 , plus the contingent
consideration described in the following paragraph.

In
addition, provided EB reaches specified gross revenue or new EV charger installation targets over the three years post-closing, the Company
also agreed to issue up to approximately $ 6,400 in additional shares of its common stock to EB shareholders (the “Contingent Consideration”).
The Contingent Consideration was recorded at an estimated fair value of $ 3,814 . As of September 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of
the Contingent Consideration was $ 4,030 . The Company uses a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach as a valuation technique
to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities on the acquisition date and at each reporting period. The significant
unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements are projections over the earn-out period, and the probability outcome percentages
that are assigned to each scenario. Significant increases or decreases to either of these inputs in isolation could result in a significantly
higher or lower liability with a higher liability capped by the contractual maximum of the contingent consideration liabilities.
Of
the purchase price to be issued to the EB shareholders at closing, approximately $ 650 in cash and 25,466 shares of common stock are being
held in escrow accounts for periods of 12 months (cash escrow) and 18 months (stock escrow), respectively, following the closing to cover
any losses or damages we may incur by reason of, among other things, any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by EB under the Sale
and Purchase Agreement.
During
the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company finalized its fair value determination on the acquired assets and assumed liabilities
and completed its assessment of the purchase price allocation. As a result, the Company recognized certain measurement period adjustments,
as summarized in the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the tables below. Measurement period adjustments were
recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustments were determined and calculated as if the accounting had been completed at
the acquisition date. The measurement period adjustments did not result in material adjustments to previously reported income statement
amounts.
Goodwill
was recorded based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired and the amount is attributable
to the reputation of the business acquired, the workforce in place and the synergies to be achieved from this acquisition. Goodwill of
$ 10,443 from the acquisition of EB is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

SEMACONNECT
ACQUISITION
On
June 15, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of SemaConnect, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“SemaConnect”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 13, 2022 (“Acquisition Agreement”),
by and among the Company, Blink Sub I Corp., Blink Sub II LLC, SemaConnect and Shareholder Representative Services LLC (solely in its
capacity as the stockholders’ representative). Following the closing of the acquisition, SemaConnect became a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company. SemaConnect is a leading provider of EV charging infrastructure solutions in North America.
The
aggregate purchase price was $ 200,573 ,
which included excess working capital of $ 1,229
and closing date cash of $ 3,639 . The
consideration paid in the acquisition consisted of: (a) $86,736 in cash, (i) of which $46,136 was paid at the closing of the
Acquisition Agreement (“Closing”) and (ii) the remaining $40,600 is payable (bearing interest at 7%) until not earlier
than nine months following the Closing and not later than three years following the Closing; and (b) 7,454,975 shares of the
Company’s common stock with a fair value of $113,837. Included in the cash
consideration was $ 8,103
related to payments due to stock option holders of SemaConnect. Subsequent to the closing of the acquisition, payments to the stock option
holder were made after the stock option holder signed an option cash-out agreement
During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company
finalized its fair value determination on the acquired assets and assumed liabilities and completed its assessment of the purchase price
allocation. As a result, the Company recognized certain measurement period adjustments, as summarized in the fair values of assets acquired
and liabilities assumed in the tables below. Measurement period adjustments were recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustments
were determined and calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The measurement period adjustments did
not result in material adjustments to previously reported income statement amounts.
Goodwill
was recorded based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired and the amount is attributable
to the reputation of the business acquired, the workforce in place and the synergies to be achieved from this acquisition. Goodwill of
$ 174,439 from the acquisition of SemaConnect is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY – CONTINUED
STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION
The
Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to common stock, stock options and warrants for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2022 of $ 4,832 and $ 7,821 , respectively, which is included within compensation expense on the condensed consolidated
statements of operations. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to common stock and stock options for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $ 6,224 and $ 10,308 , respectively, As of September 30, 2022, there was $ 14,394 of unrecognized
stock-based compensation expense that will be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 1.9 years.
On
July 29, 2022, Michael D. Farkas, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and other senior executives of the Company
who are responsible for the acquisition and integration of SemaConnect were granted one-time performance-based
restricted stock awards under the Company’s 2018 Incentive Compensation Plan. A total number of 590,458 shares of common stock,
with a market value on the grant date of $ 12,000 , were awarded to the executives. The agreements provide that Messrs. Farkas, Brendan
S. Jones, President, Michael P. Rama, Chief Financial Officer, Aviv Hillo, General Counsel, and Harjinder Bhade, Chief Technology Officer,
will each receive 472,367 , 47,237 , 23,618 , 23,618 and 23,618 shares of common stock, respectively. The awards of performance-based restricted
stock are intended to provide an appropriate incentive structure for the executive management team of the Company to integrate and commercialize
the SemaConnect acquisition given the transformational nature of the acquisition in a way that is aligned with stockholder interests.
The awards of these performance-based restricted stock become vested based on a series of six performance hurdles that must be achieved
before the third anniversary of the grants, as described in greater detail below. In addition to the closing of the SemaConnect acquisition
with certain cost savings as the initial 20% vesting event, the vesting of the remaining 80% of the restricted stock is generally determined
based on the (i) integration of SemaConnect’s hardware and software platforms, (ii) integration of its business processes, (iii)
integration of its human capital processes, (iv) delivery and execution of a product rationalization roadmap and new production ready
units for UL certification, and (v) our common stock’s closing price reaching on average for a period of ten consecutive trading
days a price of $ 23.78 , which is 50 % over the price paid by us to SemaConnect shareholders in the acquisition, in each case without regard
to the order of achieving the foregoing hurdles. The Board has discretion to determine when each performance hurdle has been achieved
and to accelerate awards pursuant to the program. As of September 30, 2022, the vesting performance hurdles related to the closing of the SemaConnect acquisition and clause (v) outlined above
was met.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
JOINT
VENTURE
The
Company and a group of three Cyprus entities entered into a shareholders’ agreement on February 11, 2019, pertaining to the parties
‘respective shareholdings in a new joint venture entity, Blink Charging Europe Ltd. (the “Entity”), that was formed
under the laws of Cyprus on the same date. Subsequently, two of the three Cyprus entities exited from the Entity. Pursuant to the agreement,
the Company is not required to fund operating losses. The Company owns 40 % of the Entity while another entity owns 60 %of the Entity.

Greek EV market. There are currently no plans for the Company to make any capital contributions or investments. During the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized sales of $ 0 and $ 68 , respectively, and $ 28 and $ 800 during the three and

from Hellas of approximately $ 0 and $ 6 , respectively and a payable to Hellas of approximately $ 33 and $ 0 respectively. The Company determined
that the Entity is a variable interest entity, however, the Company does not have a controlling financial interest and, as a result,
the Company is not required to consolidate the Entity and instead has applied equity method accounting to its investment in the Entity.

LITIGATION
AND DISPUTES
On
August 24, 2020, a purported securities class action lawsuit, captioned Bush v. Blink Charging Co. et al., Case No. 20-cv-23527, was
filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against the Company, Michael Farkas (Blink’s Chairman
of the Board and Chief Executive Officer), and Michael Rama (Blink’s Chief Financial Officer) (the “Bush Lawsuit”).
On September 1, 2020, another purported securities class action lawsuit, captioned Vittoria v. Blink Charging Co. et al., Case No. 20-cv-23643,
was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against the same defendants and seeking to recover
the same alleged damages (the “Vittoria Lawsuit”). On October 1, 2020, the court consolidated the Vittoria Lawsuit with the
Bush Lawsuit and on December 21, 2020 the court appointed Tianyou Wu, Alexander Yu and H. Marc Joseph to serve as the Co-Lead Plaintiffs.
The Co-Lead Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint on February 19, 2021. The Amended Complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants
made false or misleading statements about the size and functionality of the Blink Network, and asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and
20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Amended Complaint does not quantify damages but seeks to recover damages on behalf
of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Blink’s common stock between March 6, 2020 and August 19, 2020. On April 20, 2021,
Blink and the other defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint, which has now been fully briefed and is ready for review.
On April 7, 2022, the court held oral argument on the motion to dismiss but did not issue a decision. The Company wholly and completely
disputes the allegations therein. The Company has retained legal counsel in order to defend the action vigorously. The Company has not
recorded an accrual related to this matter as of September 30, 2022 as it determined that any such loss contingency was either not probable
or estimable.

AND DISPUTES – CONTINUED
On
September 15, 2020, a shareholder derivative lawsuit, captioned Klein (derivatively on behalf of Blink Charging Co.) v. Farkas et al.,
Case No. 20- 19815CA01, was filed in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court seeking to pursue claims belonging to the Company against Blink’s
Board of Directors and Michael Rama (the “Klein Lawsuit”). Blink is named as a nominal defendant. The Klein Lawsuit asserts
that the Director defendants caused Blink to make the statements that are at issue in the securities class action and, as a result, the
Company will incur costs defending against the consolidated Bush Lawsuit and other unidentified investigations. The Klein Lawsuit asserts
claims against the Director defendants for breach of fiduciary duties and corporate waste and against all of the defendants for unjust
enrichment. Klein did not quantify the alleged damages in his complaint, but he seeks damages sustained by the Company as a result of
the defendants’ breaches of fiduciary duties, corporate governance changes, restitution, and disgorgement of profits from the defendants
and attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses. The parties agreed to temporarily stay the Klein Lawsuit until there is a ruling
on the motion to dismiss filed in the consolidated Bush Lawsuit. The Company has not recorded an accrual related to this matter as of
September 30, 2022 as it determined that any such loss contingency was either not probable or estimable.
On
December 23, 2020, another shareholder derivative action, captioned Bhatia (derivatively on behalf of Blink Charging Co.) v. Farkas et
al., Case No. 20-27632CA01, was filed in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court against the same defendants sued in the Klein Lawsuit and asserting
similar claims, as well as additional claims relating to the Company’s nomination, appointment and hiring of minorities and women
and the Company’s decision to retain its outside auditor (the “Bhatia Lawsuit”). On February 17, 2021, the parties
agreed to consolidate the Klein and Bhatia actions, which the court consolidated under the caption In re Blink Charging Company Stockholder
Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. 2020-019815-CA-01. The parties also agreed to keep in place the temporary stay. The court subsequently
vacated the consolidation order and explained the parties should first file a motion to transfer, which the parties have done. The Company
wholly and completely disputes the allegations therein. The Company has retained legal counsel in order to defend the action vigorously.
The Company has not recorded an accrual related to this matter as of September 30, 2022 as it determined that any such loss contingency
was either not probable or estimable.
On
February 12, 2021, another shareholder derivative lawsuit, captioned Wolery (derivatively on behalf of Blink Charging Co.) v. Buffalino
et al., Case No. A-21-829395-C, was filed in the Eighth Judicial District Court in Clark County, Nevada seeking to pursue claims belonging
to the Company against Blink’s Board of Directors (the “Wolery Lawsuit”). Blink is named as a nominal defendant. The
Wolery complaint alleges that the amount of restricted stock awarded to Blink’s outside directors in December 2020 exceeded the
amounts permitted by Blink’s incentive compensation plan. The complaint asks the court to rescind the excess restricted stock awards,
as well as other relief. On September 15, 2021, the parties entered into a term sheet in which they agreed to settle the claims subject
to the court’s approval. On April 18, 2022, the court signed a final judgment approving the settlement and dismissing the lawsuit
with prejudice. As a result of the settlement, the Company has agreed to make certain changes to its compensation practices for its directors
and officers, including, among other things, eliminating the practice of making cash payments to directors to cover expected income taxes
on stock grants and placing a $ 200 annual limit for two years on the combined stock and cash Awards to outside directors. The defendants
do not admit any liability or wrongdoing in the settlement and will not make any cash payment as part of the settlement, but the Company
will be responsible for paying the costs to give notice of the settlement to the Company’s shareholders and to pay $ 190 in attorney’s
fees to the plaintiff’s counsel which was accrued for as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, which was paid in April 2022.
On
February 7, 2022, another shareholder derivative lawsuit, captioned McCauley (derivatively on behalf of Blink Charging Co.) v. Farkas
et al., Case No. A-22-847894-C, was filed in the Eighth Judicial District Court in Clark County, Nevada, seeking to pursue claims belonging
to the Company against six of Blink’s directors and Michael Rama (the “McCauley Lawsuit”). Blink is named as a nominal
defendant. The complaint filed in the McCauley Lawsuit asserts similar allegations to the Klein Lawsuit relating to the statements at
issue in the securities class action and asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. The McCauley Lawsuit seeks
both injunctive and monetary relief from the individual defendants, as well as an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. On March
29, 2022, the Nevada court approved the parties’ stipulation to temporarily stay the McCauley Lawsuit until there is a ruling on
the motion to dismiss filed in the consolidated Bush Lawsuit. The Company has not recorded an accrual related to this matter as of September
30, 2022 as it determined that any such loss contingency was either not probable or estimable.

NETWORK UPGRADES
As
electric vehicle charging requirements and technologies change, driven by federal, state or local regulatory authorities or by electric
vehicle manufacturers or other technology or services providers for the charging station industry, in particular cellular connectivity
technology, the Company may need to upgrade or adapt its charging station products or introduce new products in order to serve new vehicles,
conform to new standards, or adapt new technologies to serve existing customers or new customers at substantial research, development,
and network upgrades costs. During 2021, many cellular technology providers announced they will require the upgrade from 2G/3G connectivity
to 4G LTE during 2022 (the “Upgrade”). As of September 30, 2022, the remaining cost for the Upgrade is approximately $ 870
for certain host owned and Company owned and
operated EV charging stations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred $ 2,762

Overview
We
are a leading owner, operator, and provider of electric vehicle (“EV”) charging equipment and networked EV charging services
in the rapidly growing U.S. and international markets for EVs. Blink offers residential and commercial EV charging equipment and services,
enabling EV drivers to recharge at various location types. Blink’s principal line of products and services is its nationwide Blink
EV charging networks (the “Blink Networks”) and Blink EV charging equipment, also known as electric vehicle supply equipment
(“EVSE”), and other EV-related services. The Blink Networks are a proprietary, cloud-based system that operates, maintains,
and manages Blink charging stations and handles the associated charging data, back-end operations, and payment processing. The Blink
Networks provide property owners, managers, parking companies, and state and municipal entities (“Property Partners”), among
other types of commercial customers, with cloud-based services that enable the remote monitoring and management of EV charging stations.
The Blink Networks also provide EV drivers with vital station information, including station location, availability, and fees (if applicable).
In
order to capture more revenues derived from providing EV charging equipment to commercial customers and to help differentiate Blink in
the EV infrastructure market, Blink offers Property Partners a comprehensive range of solutions for EV charging equipment and services
that generally fall into one of the business models below, differentiated by who bears the costs of installation, equipment, maintenance,
and the percentage of revenue shared.
●
In
our Blink-owned turnkey business model, Blink incurs the costs of the charging equipment and installation. We own and operate
the EV charging station and provide connectivity of the charging station to the Blink Networks. In this model, which favors recurring
revenues, Blink incurs most costs associated with the EV charging stations; thus, Blink retains substantially all EV charging revenues
after deducting network connectivity and processing fees.
●
In our Blink-owned hybrid
business model, Blink incurs the costs of the charging equipment while the Property Partner incurs the costs of installation
costs. We own and operate the EV charging station and provide connectivity of the charging station to the Blink Networks. In this
model, the Property Partner incurs the installation costs associated with the EV station;
thus, Blink shares a more generous portion of the EV charging revenues with the Property Partner generated from the EV charging station
after deducting network connectivity and processing fee.
24
●
In our host-owned
business model, the Property Partner purchases, owns and operates the Blink EV charging station and incurs the installation costs.
Blink works with the Property Partner, providing site recommendations, connectivity to the Blink Networks, payment processing, and
optional maintenance services. In this model, the Property Partner retains and keeps all the EV charging revenues after deducting
network connectivity and processing fees.
●
In our Blink-as-a-Service
model, Blink owns and operates the EV charging station, while the Property Partner incurs the installation cost. The Property
Partner pays to Blink a fixed monthly fee and keeps all the EV charging revenues after deducting network connectivity and processing
fees.
As
part of Blink’s mission to facilitate the adoption of EVs through the deployment and operation of EV charging infrastructure globally,
we are dedicated to slowing climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions caused by road vehicles. With the goal of leading the
build out of EV charging infrastructure and of maximizing Blink’s share of the EV charging market, we have established strategic
commercial, municipal and retail partnerships across industry verticals and encompassing numerous transit/destination locations, including
airports, auto dealers, healthcare/medical, hotels, mixed-use, municipal sites, multifamily residential and condos, parks and recreation
areas, parking lots, religious institutions, restaurants, retailers, schools and universities, stadiums, supermarkets, transportation
hubs, and workplace locations.
A s
of September 30, 2022, we sold or deployed 58,907 chargers, of which 43,926 were in Blink’s Networks (26,883 Level 2 publicly accessible
commercial chargers, 15,299 Level 2 private commercial chargers, 231 DC Fast Charging EV publicly accessible chargers, 91 DC Fast Charging
EV private chargers, and 1,422 residential Level 2 Blink EV chargers, included herein are 3,072 chargers pending to be commissioned).
Included in Blink’s Networks are 4,354 chargers owned by Blink. The remaining 14,981 were non-networked, on other networks or international
sales or deployments (925 Level 2 commercial chargers, 20 DC Fast Charging chargers, 10,661 residential Level 2 Blink EV chargers, 2,237
sold to other US Networks, 1,058 sold internationally and 80 deployed internationally). Charger units herein are net of swap-out or replacement
units.
As
reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022, we had a cash balance of $57,019, working
capital of $64,442, and an accumulated deficit of $305,881. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred net
losses of $25,647 and $63,411, respectively. We have not yet achieved profitability.

(a) $86,736 in cash, (i) of which $46,136 was paid at the closing of the Acquisition Agreement (“Closing”) and (ii) the remaining
$40,600 is payable (bearing interest at 7%) until not earlier than nine months following the Closing and not later than three years following
the Closing; and (b) 7,454,975 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $113,837. Included in the cash consideration
was $8,103 related to payments due to stock option holders of SemaConnect. Subsequent to the closing of the acquisition, payments to the
stock option holder were made after the stock option holder signed an option cash-out agreement
25
Electric
Blue Limited
On April 22, 2022,
pursuant to a Sale and Purchase Agreement dated April 22, 2022, the Company acquired, through its Dutch subsidiary, Blink Holdings
B.V., all of the outstanding capital stock of Electric Blue Limited, a private company limited by shares and registered in England
and Wales (“EB”), from its shareholders. Headquartered in St. Albans, United Kingdom, EB is a leading provider of
electric vehicle charging and sustainable energy solutions and technologies. EB works with local authorities and businesses to
create the infrastructure the United Kingdom needs to meet the 2050 net zero emissions target and prepare for the 2030 ban on the
sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans.
The fair value purchase price for the acquisition of all of EB’s outstanding
capital stock was $19,317, consisting of $12,651 in cash, 152,803 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $2,852,
plus the contingent consideration described in the following paragraph.
In
addition, provided EB reaches specified gross revenue or new EV charger installation targets over the three years post-closing, the Company
also agreed to issue up to approximately $6,400 in additional shares of its common stock to EB shareholders (the “Contingent Consideration”).
The Contingent Consideration was recorded at an estimated fair value of $3,814. As of September 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of
the Contingent Consideration was $4,030. Of the purchase price to be issued to the EB shareholders at closing, approximately $650 in
cash and 25,466 shares of common stock are being held in escrow accounts for periods of 12 months (cash escrow) and 18 months (stock
escrow), respectively, following the closing to cover any losses or damages we may incur by reason of, among other things, any misrepresentation
or breach of warranty by EB under the Sale and Purchase Agreement.
At-the-Market
Offering
On September 2, 2022, we entered into a Sales Agreement (“Sales
Agreement”) with Barclays Capital Inc., BofA Securities, Inc., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., ThinkEquity LLC, H.C. Wainwright &
Co., LLC and Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Agents”) to conduct an “at-the-market” (ATM) equity offering program
pursuant to which we may issue and sell from time to time shares of our common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000
through the Agents, as the Company’s sales agents (the “ATM”).
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement,
the Agents will use their commercially reasonable efforts to sell shares of our common stock from time to time, based upon our instructions.
We have no obligation to sell any of the shares and may at any time suspend sales under the Sales Agreement or terminate the Sales Agreement
in accordance with its terms. We have provided the Agents with customary indemnification rights, and the Agents will be entitled to an
aggregate fixed commission of up to 3% of the gross proceeds from shares sold. The shares are being offered pursuant to the Sales Agreement
under our automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR and a prospectus supplement thereto filed with SEC on January 6, 2021
and September 2, 2022, respectively. As of November 3, 2022, no shares have been sold pursuant to the ATM program.
We currently anticipate using the net proceeds from the sale
of our shares of common stock under the ATM program to supplement our operating cash flows to fund EV charging station deployment and
our acquisition growth plan. We also plan to use any remaining proceeds we receive for working capital and other corporate purposes. The
amounts and timing of our use of the net proceeds will depend on a number of factors, such as the timing and progress of our EV charging
station deployment efforts, the timing and progress of any partnering and collaboration efforts and technological advances.
New
Product and Service Offerings
In January 2022, we announced the next generation of Level
2 chargers to enhance our offering for the residential and the Fleet multifamily residential markets. The HQ 200 Basic is a non-networked
residential product and the HQ 200 Smart is a networked residential product. The MQ 200 product is an ideal product for the Fleet and
multifamily residential markets. Further, in January 2022, Blink announced the Fleet Management Portal targeted at commercial, municipal
and federal fleets that are interested in electrifying their fleets for planning, managing, optimizing their fleets for departure and
energy costs.

Letter
of Intent and Loan
On April 19, 2022, the Company signed a non-binding letter
of intent with a U.S. privately-held company (the “Target”) providing for the possible purchase by the Company of all of the
outstanding shares of the Target from its shareholders in consideration for cash, a note and, under certain circumstances, shares of common
stock of a subsidiary of the Company or, if such subsidiary’s shares are not publicly- traded, common stock of the Company. In addition,
in the letter of intent, the Company agreed to extend a loan of $1,250 to the Target (the “Initial Loan”), of which, $1,000
was loaned by the Company during the second quarter of 2022 and $250 was loaned in July 2022 pursuant to a 6% Secured Convertible Promissory
Note signed by the Target. Under the terms of the Initial Loan, if the Company proceeds with the possible stock purchase of the Target,
the principal and accrued interest amount under the Initial Loan will be deducted from the cash consideration paid to the Target’s
shareholders at closing. If, however, the Company determines not to proceed with the possible stock purchase of the Target, the Initial
Loan will continue to accrue 6% interest per annum, and mature on the earliest of (i) a “Change of Control” (as defined in
such note); (ii) the closing of the next investment round by the Target; (iii) an Event of Default (as defined in such note); or (iv)
May 1, 2027.
On
September 22, 2022, the Company signed a letter agreement concerning the extension of the development work that the Target was
performing for a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Subsidiary”) under a Master Service Agreement that was
executed on April 29, 2022 (the “Letter Agreement”). Under the Letter Agreement, the Company agreed to extend additional
loans to the Target to enable it to expand the development work and to expedite the delivery of the development outcomes (the
“Product”) to the Subsidiary. In addition, the Letter Agreement provided that the Company will extend to the Target
additional funding of up to $350 for hiring additional developers and an additional $600 to support the Target’s operations
until the development work is finalized and accepted by the Company, which will be no later than November 30, 2022, or such later
date that the parties may agree upon. The total amount of the loans may reach up to $950 (the “Development Loan”), in
each case upon the Target’s request along with appropriate back-up documentation for such loan. $250 was loaned by the Company
in September 2022. The Development Loan was made pursuant to a 6% Grid Secured Convertible Promissory Note and an
additional letter agreement, dated September 22, 2022, signed by the Target with terms and conditions similar to those of the
Initial Loan (the “Grid Note”). The Development Loan has additional terms which provide that the Company may forfeit the
Development Loan if the Target timely delivers the Product and the Company fails to close the acquisition of the Target shortly
thereafter. If, however, the Target fails to complete the development work on time, the Company will not be obligated to close the
acquisition of the Target and the entire Development Loan will be payable to the Company under the same terms of the Initial
Loan.
Note
on Covid-19 and Current Economic Conditions
The
Covid-19 pandemic has impacted global stock markets and economies. We closely monitor the impact of the continuing presence of
Covid-19 and recently identified variants of Covid-19 which appear to be more transmissible and contagious than previous Covid-19
variants and have caused an increase in the number of Covid-19 cases globally. We have taken and continue to take precautions to
ensure the safety of our employees, customers and business partners, while assuring business continuity and reliable service and
support to our customers. We continue to receive orders for our products, although some shipments of equipment have been temporarily
delayed. The global chip shortage and supply chain disruption has caused some delays in equipment orders from our contract
manufacturer. As federal, state and local economies have reopened and returns to pre-pandemic levels, we expect demand for charging
station usage to increase, however, we are unable to predict the extent of such recovery due to the uncertainty of Covid-19.
Additionally, other recent macroeconomic events including rising inflation, slowing economic growth, changes in U.S. and foreign
government monetary policies, supply chain disruptions, fluctuations in currency exchange rates and the Russian invasion of Ukraine
have led to further economic uncertainty. As a result, we are unable to predict the ultimate impact of equipment order delays, chip
shortage, the impact of other economic conditions and continuous presence of Covid-19 will have on our business, future results of
operations, financial position, or cash flows. We intend to continue to monitor the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and other global
economic factors on our business closely. For a further discussion of the risks, uncertainties and actions taken in response to the
COVID-19 pandemic, refer to Item 1A “Risk Factors”.
Key
Factors Affecting Operating Results
We
believe our performance and future success depend on several factors, including those discussed below:
Competition
- The EV charging equipment and service market is highly competitive, and we expect the market to become increasingly competitive
as new entrants enter this growing market. Our products and services compete on product performance and features, the total cost of ownership,
sales capabilities, financial stability, brand recognition, product reliability, and the installed base’s size. Existing competitors
may expand their product offerings and sales strategies, and new competitors may enter the market. If our market share decreases due
to increased competition, its revenue and ability to generate profits in the future may be impacted.
Growth
- Our growth is highly dependent upon the adoption by consumers of EVs, and we are subject to a risk of any reduced demand for EVs.
The market for alternative fuel vehicles is relatively new, rapidly evolving, characterized by rapidly changing technologies, price competition,
additional competitors, evolving government regulation and industry standards, frequent new vehicle announcements, long development cycles
for EV original equipment manufacturers, and changing consumer demands and behaviors. Factors that may influence the purchase and use
of alternative fuel vehicles, and specifically EVs, include perceptions about EV quality, safety (in particular with respect to lithium-ion
battery packs), design, performance and cost; the limited range over which EVs may be driven on a single battery charge and concerns
about running out of power while in use; improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine; consumers’ desire
and ability to purchase a luxury automobile or one that is perceived as exclusive; the environmental consciousness of consumers; volatility
in the cost of oil and gasoline; consumers’ perceptions of the dependency of the United States on oil from unstable or hostile
countries and the impact of international conflicts; government regulations and economic incentives promoting fuel efficiency and alternate
forms of energy; access to charging stations, standardization of EV charging systems and consumers’ perceptions about convenience
and cost to charge an EV; and the availability of tax and other governmental incentives to purchase and operate EVs or future regulation
requiring increased use of nonpolluting vehicles. If the market for EVs does not gain broad market acceptance or develops slower than
we expect, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected.
27
Regulations
- Our business is subject to a variety of federal, state and international laws and regulations, including those with respect government
incentives promoting fuel efficiency and alternate forms of energy, electric vehicles and others. These laws and regulations, and the
interpretation or application of these laws and regulations, could change. Any reduction, elimination or discriminatory application of
government subsidies and economic incentives because of policy changes, fiscal tightening or other reasons may result in diminished revenues
from government sources and diminished demand for our products. In addition, new laws or regulations affecting our business could be
enacted. These laws and regulations are frequently costly to comply with and may divert a significant portion of management’s attention.
Changes to these applicable laws or regulations could affect business and/or harm our customers, thereby adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
Expansion
through Acquisitions - We may pursue strategic domestic and international acquisitions to expand our operations. Risks in acquisition
transactions include difficulties in the integration of acquired businesses into our operations and control environment, difficulties
in assimilating and retaining employees and intermediaries, difficulties in retaining the existing clients of the acquired entities,
assumed or unforeseen liabilities that arise in connection with the acquired businesses, the failure of counterparties to satisfy any
obligations to indemnify us against liabilities arising from the acquired businesses, and unfavorable market conditions that could negatively
impact our growth expectations for the acquired businesses. Fully integrating an acquired company or business into our operations may
take a significant amount of time. If we are unable to integrate or pursue strategic acquisitions, our financial condition and results
of operations would be negatively impacted.

Three
Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared With Three Months Ended September 30, 2021
Revenues
Total
revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $10,845, or 169%, to $17,247 compared to $6,402 during the three months
ended September 30, 2021.
Revenue
from product sales was $13,358 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $4,824 during the three months ended September
30, 2021, an increase of $8,534, or 177%. This increase was attributable to increased sales of commercial chargers, DC fast chargers
and residential chargers when compared to the same period in 2021. Also contributing to the increase in product sales was $886 from EB, which we acquired in April
2022, and $5,935 from SemaConnect, which we acquired in June 2022.
Charging
service revenue from Company-owned charging stations was $1,256 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $908 for
the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $348, or 38%. The increase is due to the increase in utilization of chargers,
an increased number of chargers on the Blink networks.
Network
fee revenues were $1,456 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $205 for the three months ended September 30, 2021,
an increase of $1,251, or 610%. The increase was attributable to increases in host owned units as well as billings and invoicing to Property
Partners during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the months ended September 30, 2021.
Warranty
revenues were $309 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $87 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase
of $222, or 255%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in warranty contracts sold for the three months ended September
30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Grant
and rebate revenues were $83 during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $55 during the three months ended September
30, 2021, an increase of $28, or 51%. The increase in revenue was primarily related to the timing
of the amortization of previous years’ state grants/rebates associated with the installation of chargers during the three months
ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
Ride-sharing
services revenues were $367 during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $270 during the three months ended September
30, 2021, an increase of $97, or 36%. These revenues are derived from ride-sharing subscription services through a program with the City
of Los Angeles, which was associated with the acquisition of BlueLA in September 2020.
Other
revenue increased by $365 to $418 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $53 for the three months ended September
30, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to higher Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits generated during the three months
ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. We generate these credits from the electricity utilized by our electric
car charging stations as a byproduct from our charging services in the states of California and Oregon.
Cost
of Revenues
Cost of revenues primarily consists of electricity reimbursements,
revenue share payments to our Property Partner hosts, the cost of charging stations sold, connectivity charges provided by telco and other
networks, warranty, repairs and maintenance services, and depreciation of our installed charging stations. Cost of revenues for the three
months ended September 30, 2022 were $12,466 compared to $5,510 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $6,956,
or 126%. There is a degree of variability in our costs in relationship to our revenues from period to period, primarily due to:
●
electricity
reimbursements that are unique to those Property Partner host agreements which provide for such reimbursements;
●
revenue
share payments are predicated on the contractual obligation under the property partner agreement and the revenue generated by the
applicable chargers;
●
cost
of charging stations sold is predicated on the mix of types of charging stations and parts sold during the period;
●
network
costs are fixed in nature based on the number of chargers connected to the telco network regardless of whether the charger generates
revenue;
●
provisions
for excess and obsolete inventory; and
●
warranty
and repairs and maintenance expenses are based on both the number of service cases completed during the period.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We
measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including the following:
September 30, 2022
December 31, 2021
(unaudited)
Cash and cash equivalents
$ 57,019
$ 174,795
Working Capital
$ 64,442
$ 176,303
Debt
$ 40,676
$ 10
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we financed our activities from proceeds derived from debt and equity financings occurring
in prior periods. A significant portion of the funds raised from the sale of capital stock has been used to cover working capital needs
and personnel, office expenses and various consulting and professional fees.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we
used cash of $57,776 and $29,953, respectively, in operations. Our cash use for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily
attributable to our net loss of $63,411, adjusted for net non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $15,730, and $10,095 of cash used
to fund changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities. Our cash used for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily
attributable to our net loss of $36,145, adjusted for net non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $13,082, and $6,890 of net cash
used in changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities.
33
During the nine months ended
September 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $54,225, of which, $38,338 was used as cash consideration for
SemaConnect (net of cash acquired), $11,360 was used as cash consideration for EB (net of cash acquired), $2,230 was used to
purchase charging stations and other fixed assets, $1,500 was used as a note receivable to a target, and $797 was related to the
payment of engineering costs that were capitalized. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash used in investing

provided by the sale of marketable securities, $22,985 was used as cash consideration for the acquisition of Blue Corner, $243 was
provided by the net cash acquired from Blue Corner and $5,540 was used to purchase charging stations and other fixed assets and $237
was related to the payment of engineering costs that were capitalized.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash used in financing activities was $766, of which, $201 was provided by the exercise of
warrants and options, offset by $235 used to pay down our liability in connection with internal use software, $144 was used to pay down
our finance lease liability and $588 was used to pay down notes payable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash provided
in financing activities was $222,913, of which, $221,333 was provided by the sale of common stock in a public offering, $1,619 was provided
by the exercise of warrants, which was partially offset by $39 used to pay down our liability in connection with internal use software.
As of September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalent,
working capital and an accumulated deficit of $57,019, $64,442 and $305,881, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September
30, 2022, we had a net loss of $25,647 and $63,411 respectively.
We
have not yet achieved profitability and expect to continue to incur cash outflows from operations. It is expected that our operating
expenses will continue to increase and, as a result, we will eventually need to generate significant product revenues to achieve profitability.
Historically, we have been able to raise funds to support our business operations, although there can be no assurance that we will be
successful in raising significant additional funds in the future. We expect that our cash on hand will fund our operations for at least
12 months from the issuance date of the financial statements included in this quarterly report.
Since
inception, our operations have primarily been funded through proceeds received in equity and debt financings. We believe we have access
to capital resources and continue to evaluate additional financing opportunities. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain
funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds we might raise will enable us
to complete our development initiatives or attain profitable operations.
On September
2, 2022, we entered into a Sales Agreement (“Sales Agreement”) with Barclays Capital Inc., BofA Securities, Inc., HSBC Securities
(USA) Inc., ThinkEquity LLC, H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC and Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Agents”) to conduct an “ATM”
equity offering program pursuant to which we may issue and sell from time to time shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share,
having an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000 through the Agents, as the Company’s sales agents. We currently anticipate
using the net proceeds from the sale of our shares of common stock under the ATM program to supplement our operating cash flows to fund
EV charging station deployment and our acquisition growth plan. We also plan to use any remaining proceeds we receive for working capital
and other corporate purposes. The amounts and timing of our use of the net proceeds will depend on a number of factors, such as the timing
and progress of our EV charging station deployment efforts, the timing and progress of any partnering and collaboration efforts and technological
advances.
As electric vehicle charging requirements and technologies
change, driven by federal, state or local regulatory authorities or by electric vehicle manufacturers or other technology or services
providers for the charging station industry, in particular cellular connectivity technology, the Company may need to upgrade or adapt
its charging station products or introduce new products in order to serve new vehicles, conform to new standards, or adapt new technologies
to serve existing customers or new customers at substantial research, development, and network upgrades costs. During 2021, many cellular
technology providers announced they will require the upgrade from 2G/3G connectivity to 4G LTE during 2022 (the “Upgrade”).
As of September 30, 2022, the remaining cost for the Upgrade is approximately $870 for certain host owned and Company owned and operated
EV charging stations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred $2,762 related to these upgrades. The Upgrade
project is expected to be completed by December 31, 2022.
Contractual
Obligations and Commitments
We entered into purchase commitments that include purchase
orders and agreements in the normal course of business with contract manufacturers, parts manufacturers, vendors for research and development
services and outsourced services. As of September 30, 2022, we had purchase commitments of approximately $55,000, which will become payable
upon the suppliers’ delivery of the charging stations, services and other related items. The purchase commitments were made primarily
for future sales, deployments of charging stations, inventory management planning and other related items, all of which are expected to
be received during the next 12 to 24 months.
Further, the Company has operating and finance lease obligations
over the next five years of approximately $3,943. These operating and finance lease obligations are primarily related to corporate office
space, warehousing, parking spaces related to our ride-sharing services and vehicles.
34
Critical
Accounting Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make
estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as
well as the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the periods presented. We believe that the estimates and judgments upon which
we rely are reasonably based upon information available to us at the time that we make these estimates and judgments. To the extent
that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial results will be affected. The accounting
policies that reflect our more significant estimates and judgments and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding
and evaluating our reported financial results are described below.
The
following is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies or estimates. Our accounting policies are more
fully described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in our financial statements included elsewhere in this
quarterly report. For a comprehensive list of our critical accounting estimates, refer to Part II, Item 7, Critical Accounting Estimates
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting
policies and estimates since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Revenue
Recognition
We
recognize revenue primarily from five different types of contracts:
●
Product sales – Revenue is recognized at the point where the customer obtains control of the goods and the Company satisfies its performance obligation, which generally is at the time it ships the product to the customer.
●
Charging service revenue – company-owned charging stations - Revenue is recognized at the point when a particular charging session is completed.
●
Network fees and other – Represents a stand-ready obligation whereby the Company is obligated to perform over a period of time and, as a result, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Network fees are billed annually.
●
Ride-sharing services – Primarily related to ride-sharing services agreement with the City of Los Angeles which allows customers the ability to rent electric vehicles through a subscription service. The Company recognizes revenue over the contractual period of performance of the subscription.
●
Other – Other revenues primarily comprises of revenues generated from alternative fuel credits.
The
timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. A receivable is recorded
when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment
precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are
satisfied.
Grants,
rebates and alternative fuel credits, which are not within the scope of ASC 606, pertaining to revenues and periodic expenses are recognized
as income when the related revenue and/or periodic expense are recorded. Grants and rebates related to EV charging stations and their
installation are deferred and amortized in a manner consistent with the related depreciation expense of the related asset over their
useful lives over the useful life of the charging station.
Stock-Based
Compensation
We
measure the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the date
of grant. The fair value amount of the shares expected to ultimately vest is then recognized over the period for which services are required
to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. The estimation of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest
requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from original estimates, such amounts are recorded as
a cumulative adjustment in the period that the estimates are revised. We account for forfeitures as they occur.
Long-Lived
Assets
Long-lived
assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not
be recoverable. We assess the recoverability of its long-lived assets by monitoring current selling prices of car charging units in the
open market, the adoption rate of various auto manufacturers in the EV market and projected car charging utilization at various public
car charging stations throughout our network in determining fair value. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future
cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount.

account for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740, “Income
Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards.
Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets
are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized.
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Operating
Leases
We
determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”)
assets and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
ROU
assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease
payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present
value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use an incremental borrowing rate
based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date.
The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options
to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is
recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Goodwill
Goodwill
is the excess of consideration paid for an acquired entity over the fair value of the amounts assigned to assets acquired, including
other identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed in a business combination. To determine the amount of goodwill resulting
from a business combination, the Company performs an assessment to determine the acquisition date fair value of the acquired company’s
tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities.
Goodwill
is required to be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be
impaired. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances
leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. These
qualitative factors include: macroeconomic and industry conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant entity-specific
events. If the entity determines that this threshold is met, then the Company may apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount
of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount
of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company determines fair value through multiple valuation techniques and weights the
results accordingly. The Company is required to make certain subjective and complex judgments in assessing whether an event of impairment
of goodwill has occurred, including assumptions and estimates used to determine the fair value of its reporting units. The Company has
elected to perform its annual goodwill impairment review on November 1 of each year.

ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign
Currency Risk
We
have foreign currency risks related to our revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily
the euro, causing both our revenue and its operating results to be impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates. Gains or losses from
the revaluation of certain cash balances, accounts receivable balances and intercompany balances that are denominated in these currencies
impact our net loss. A hypothetical decrease in all foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar of 1% would not result in a material foreign
currency loss on foreign-denominated balances, as of September 30, 2022. As our foreign operations expand, our results may be more materially
impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates of the currencies in which we do business. At this time, we do not enter into financial
instruments to hedge our foreign currency exchange risk.

ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As
of September 30, 2022, being the end of the period covered by this Report, our management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision
and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”).
Disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or
submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s
rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and
chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based
on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed
in Item 9A. Controls and Procedures – in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, under the heading
“Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”.
Limitations
on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes
that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired
control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must
reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of
possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As
part of its ongoing remediation initiative, and with the help of an outside firm, management has reviewed the design of management and
analytical review controls associated with the financial close, revenue and inventory processes and has strengthened related compensating
controls. In addition, management has validated the operational effectiveness of its remediation of the reported material weakness and
found it to be effective. We believe these actions are sufficient to remediate this material weakness. We will continue to test the operational
effectiveness of the underlying controls during the fourth quarter of 2022 and come to a final determination in the matter so as to appropriately
integrate the outcome in management’s assessment of Internal Controls over Financial reporting as of December 31, 2022.
During
the quarter, management continued to commit substantial resources to the ongoing evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting
of its previously exempted subsidiary, Blue Corner N.V.
Except
the above, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September
30, 2022, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS.
In
addition to the information set forth under Item 1A of Part I to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,
the information set forth at the beginning of Management’s Discussion and Analysis entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Information,” and updates noted below, you should consider that there are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may
prevent us from achieving our goals. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operation
may be materially and adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors could lose
all or part of their investment. These risk factors may not identify all risks that we face and our operations could also be affected
by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.
We
have a history of substantial net losses and expect losses to continue in the future; if we do not achieve and sustain profitability
our financial condition could suffer.
We
have experienced substantial net losses, and we expect to continue to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future. We incurred
net losses of approximately $26 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and approximately $63 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, we had net working capital of approximately $64 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately
$306 million. We have not yet achieved profitability.
If
our revenue grows slower than we anticipate, or if our operating expenses are higher than we expect, we may not be able to achieve profitability
and our financial condition could suffer. We can give no assurance that we will ever achieve profitable operations. Even if we achieve
profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. Whether we can achieve cash flow levels
sufficient to support our operations cannot be accurately predicted. Unless such cash flow levels are achieved, we may need to borrow
additional funds or sell our debt or equity securities, or some combination of both, to provide funding for our operations. Such additional
funding may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
We
are unable to predict the ultimate impact of continuing equipment order delays, chip shortages and presence of Covid-19 on our business
and future results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
The
Covid-19 pandemic has impacted global stock markets, economies and businesses. We continue to receive orders for our products, although
some shipments of equipment have been temporarily delayed. The global chip shortage and supply chain disruption has caused some delays
in equipment orders from our contract manufacturer. As federal, state, local and foreign economies have reopened and returns to pre-pandemic
levels, we expect demand for charging station usage to increase; however, we are unable to predict the extent of such recovery due to
the uncertainty of the possible recurrence or spread of Covid-19 and its variants. Additionally, other recent macroeconomic events including rising inflation, slowing economic growth, changes
in U.S. and foreign government monetary policies, supply chain disruptions, fluctuations in currency exchange rates and the Russian invasion
of Ukraine have led to further economic uncertainty. As a result, we
are unable to predict the ultimate impact of continuing equipment order delays, chip shortages, the impact of other economic conditions
and continuous presence of Covid-19 will have on our business and our future results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
ITEM
2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued an aggregate of 40,830 shares of common stock pursuant to exercises of
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 40,830 shares of common stock for aggregate net proceeds of $109.
The issuance described in Item 2 was deemed to be exempt from
registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving
a public offering. The recipients of securities in such transaction represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment
only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and appropriate legends were affixed to the share
certificates and other instruments issued in such transaction. All recipients either received adequate information about the Company or
had access, through employment or other relationships, to such information.
