1. BUSINESS
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

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.
●

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.

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
nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, to Hellas. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021,the Company had a receivable
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.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES – CONTINUED
LITIGATION
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.

CHARGING
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
related to these upgrades. The Upgrade project
is expected to be completed by December 31, 2022.
