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
March 31, 2023 and for the three months then ended. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2023 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, 2022 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
on March 14, 2023 as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Risks
and Uncertainties
The
Covid-19 pandemic has impacted global stock markets and economies. The Company closely monitors the impact of the outbreak on all
aspects of our business. The extent to which its operations may be impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic will depend largely in future
developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted.
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Since
the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2022, 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, Indian
Rupee, and the Pound Sterling. Assets and liabilities are translated based on the exchange rates at the balance sheet date ( 1.0884
for the Euro, .0122
for the Indian Rupee, and 1.2368 for the Pound Sterling as of March 31, 2023), while expense accounts are translated at the weighted
average exchange rate for the period ( 1.0741
for the Euro, .0122
for the Indian Rupee, and 1.2206 for the Pound Sterling for the three months ended March 31, 2023). 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 condensed consolidated statement of operations as incurred. Transaction gains
attributable to foreign exchange were $ 1,807
and $ 3
during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
REVENUE
RECOGNITION
The
Company recognizes revenue primarily from four 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.
●
Other
– Other revenues is primarily comprised 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 March 31, 2023, the Company had $ 16,902 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 March 31, 2023. The Company expects
to satisfy $ 11,496 of its remaining performance obligations for network fees, charging services, warranty revenue, product sales, and
other and recognize the revenue within the next twelve months.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized $ 435 of revenues related to network fees and warranty contracts, which
were included in deferred revenues as of December 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there was no revenue recognized
from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods.
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. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded
$ 49 and $ 75 , respectively, related to grant and rebate revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized
$ 51 and $ 67 of revenue related to alternative fuel credits.
Furthermore,
ride-sharing services, which are not within scope of ASC 606, pertain to revenues and expenses related to a 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 which are short term in nature. During the three months
ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $ 252 and $ 239 , respectively, related to ride-sharing services revenue.

During
the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, sales to a significant customer represented 13 %
of total revenue. During the three months ended
March 31, 2022, sales to another significant customer represented 12 %
of total revenue. During the three months ended
March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company made purchases from a significant supplier that represented 16 %

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:

of Cyprus on the same date. Subsequently, two of the Cyprus entities sold its interest to the remaining Cyprus entity. Pursuant to
the agreement, the Company is not required to fund operating losses. The Company owns 40 %
of the Entity while the other entity owns 60 %
of the Entity. The Entity currently owns 100 %
of a Greek subsidiary, Blink Charging Hellas SA (“Hellas”), which started operations in the Greek EV market. There are
currently no plans for the Company to make any additional capital contributions or investments. During the three months ended March
31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized sales of $ 0
and $ 68 ,
respectively, to Hellas. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the Company had a payable of approximately $ 53
and $ 84 ,
respectively, to Hellas. 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. From inception through March 31, 2023, the Entity has not generated net
income and, as a result, pursuant to ASC 323, the Company has not recorded a gain or loss on its equity method investment in the
Entity during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

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 March 31, 2023 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. On June 17, 2022, the court substituted the executrix of Klein’s
estate as the plaintiff. The Company has not recorded an accrual related to this matter as of March 31, 2023 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. On June
22, 2022, the court re-consolidated the Klein and Bhatia actions and reinstated the temporary stay. 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 March 31, 2023 as it determined that any such loss contingency was either not probable
or estimable.
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 March
31, 2023 as it determined that any such loss contingency was either not probable or estimable.

access vehicles, driver insurance, maintenance, electric vehicle chargers, electric fleet, fleet maintenance, full-service mobile app,
customer support and robust analytics. Envoy provides the technology, operations and vehicles to implement private and dedicated auto-sharing

the closing of the Acquisition Agreement (the “Closing”); (ii) a promissory note of Mobility in the principal amount of $5,000; (iii) a promissory note of Mobility in the principal amount of $2,000; and (iv)(a) in the event of an initial public offering or direct
listing of Mobility or Mobility’s successor within 24 months after the Closing (and shares of common stock of the Company are not
issued in lieu thereof), $18,500, $21,000 or $22,500 worth of shares of common stock of Mobility or Mobility’s successor, depending
on the timing of such offering or listing, (b) in the event there is no initial public offering or direct listing of Mobility or Mobility’s
successor within 24 months after the Closing, $21,000 worth of shares of common stock of the Company, or (c) at the Company’s option,
a combination of cash and common stock of the Company with an aggregate value of $21,000.
The
payment of shares of common stock of Mobility or Mobility’s successor, if any, will be based on the public offering price per share
of such stock in the initial public offering. The payment of shares of common stock of the Company, if any, will be based on the average
of the daily-weighted average prices for such stock on each of the 60 days ending on the day prior to issuance thereof.

of the Company’s Envoy subsidiary.
