1. BUSINESS
ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS, AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
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 car-sharing program through Blink’s wholly owned subsidiary, Blink Mobility, LLC 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

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 Pound Sterling. Assets and liabilities are translated based on the exchange rates at the balance sheet date ( 1.0846
for the Euro, 0.1219
for the Indian Rupee, and 1.2634
for the Pound Sterling as of June 30, 2023), while expense accounts are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the
period ( 1.0763
for the Euro, 0.0122
for the Indian Rupee, and 1.2538
for the Pound Sterling for the six months ended June 30, 2023). During the six months ended June 30, 2022, expense
accounts are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period ( 1.0554 for
the Euro, 0.0127 for the Indian Rupee, and 1.2281 for
the Pound Sterling) . 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) gains attributable to foreign exchange were $ ( 1,026 )
and $ 781
during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Transaction losses attributable to foreign exchange were $ 244
and $ 241
during the three and six months ended June 30, 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 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 June 30, 2023, the Company had $ 21,602 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 June 30, 2023. The Company expects
to satisfy $ 12,678 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 and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $ 572 and $ 1,007 of revenues, respectively, related to network fees
and warranty contracts, which were included in deferred revenues as of December 31, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded
$ 188 and $ 125 , respectively, related to grant and rebate revenue. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded
$ 237 and $ 200 , respectively, related to grant and rebate revenue. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized
$ 52 and $ 51 respectively, of revenue related to alternative fuel credits. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company
recognized $ 103 and $ 117 , respectively, of revenue related to alternative fuel credits.
Furthermore,
car-sharing services, which are not within scope of ASC 606, pertain to revenues and expenses related to a car-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 June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $ 957 and $ 279 , respectively, related to car-sharing services revenue. During the
six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $ 1,209 and $ 518 , respectively, related to car-sharing services revenue.

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:

BUSINESS COMBINATION
On
April 18, 2023, the Company, Blink Mobility, LLC, a California limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Mobility”),
and Mobility Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Mobility (“Merger Sub”), entered into
and, after all parties met the closing conditions, consummated the transactions contemplated under an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
as of April 18, 2023 (the “Acquisition Agreement”), with Envoy Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Envoy”).
Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Envoy, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub
ceased, and Envoy was the surviving corporation of the merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mobility (the “Acquisition”).
Under
the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the acquisition consideration was up to $ 35,500 , paid as follows: (i) $ 6,000 in cash paid upon
the closing of the Acquisition Agreement (the “Closing”); (ii) a promissory note of Mobility in the principal amount of $ 5,000
which bears interest at a rate of 6 % per annum and becomes due 12 months from Closing; (iii) a promissory note of Mobility in the principal
amount of $ 2,000 which bears interest at a rate of 6 % per annum and becomes due 18 months from Closing; 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
aggregate purchase price was $ 30,900 ,
which included a working capital deficit of $ 1,767 and
closing date cash of $ 19 . The
fair value of the consideration paid in the acquisition consisted of: (a) $6,000 in cash ($4,679 was paid at Closing and $1,321 was
paid prior to Closing in the form of a note receivable); (b) $6,782 in aggregate promissory notes; and (c) $18,118 in common stock
of Mobility subject to the conditions described above. 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.
The common stock consideration payable in the amount of $ 18,118
is included within consideration payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023.
The
Company engaged a third-party independent valuation specialist to assist in the determination of fair values of tangible and intangible
assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Envoy. The final determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities will be completed
within the one-year measurement period as required by ASC Topic 805. The Envoy acquisition will necessitate the use of this measurement
period to adequately analyze and assess the factors used in establishing the asset and liability fair values as of the acquisition date,
including intangible assets, accounts receivable and certain fixed assets.

In
connection with the acquisition of Envoy, the Company acquired intangible assets in the form of a trade name, customer relationships
and internally developed technology.
The
Company used the relief from royalty method when determining the fair value of the acquired trademark and internally developed technology.
The fair value was determined by applying an estimated royalty rate to revenues, measuring the value the Company would pay in royalties
to a market participant if it did not own the trademark and internally developed technology and had to license it from a third party.
The trademark was assigned a useful life of two years and the internally developed technology was assigned a useful life of three years .
When
determining fair value of customer relationships, a form of income approach, known as the multi period excess earnings method was used.
The fair value was determined by calculating the present value of estimated future operating cash flows generated from the existing customers
less costs to realize the revenue. The Company applied a discount rate of 30 % , which reflected the nature of the assets as they relate
to the risk and uncertainty of the estimated future operating cash flows. Other significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value
of the customer contracts include an assumed income tax rate of 26 % . The customer relationships were assigned a 15 year useful life.
The
fair value of working capital accounts were determined to be the carrying values due to the short-term nature of the assets and liabilities.
The
fair value of property and equipment was estimated by applying the cost approach. The cost approach uses the replacement or reproduction
cost as an indicator of fair value. The assumptions of the cost approach include replacement cost new, projected capital expenditures,
and physical deterioration factors including economic useful life, remaining useful life, age, and effective age.
As
of June 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of the common stock consideration payable was $ 18,118 . The Company uses a probability-weighted
discounted cash flow approach as a valuation technique to determine the fair value of the common stock consideration payable on the
acquisition date and at each reporting period. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements are 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 common stock consideration
liability.

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. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company is not required to fund operating losses. The Company owns 40 %
of the Entity while the other three entities own 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. The Company
did not record sales to Hellas during the three and six months June 30, 2023. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022,

and $ 68 ,
respectively, As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the Company had a payable of approximately $ 85 and $ 84 ,

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 June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
PURCHASE
COMMITMENTS
As
of June 30, 2023, the Company had purchase commitments of approximately $ 33,000 , of which, approximately $ 23 is with a related party, which
will become payable upon the suppliers’ delivery of the charging stations 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 12-24 months.
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 June 30, 2023 as it determined that any such loss contingency was either not probable
or estimable.
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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 June
30, 2023 as it determined that any such loss contingency was either not probable or estimable.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
AMENDMENT TO MERGER AGREEMENT - SEMACONNECT
On
August 4, 2023, the Company, SemaConnect LLC, its wholly-owned subsidiary, and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, on behalf of
the former stockholders of SemaConnect, Inc. (the “Stockholders’ Representative”), entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”)
to the original Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 13, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company
acquired SemaConnect.
Under
the terms of the Amendment, the parties modified the manner by which the “Deferred Merger Consideration” (which remains $ 40,600 ,
plus accrued interest) will be paid by the Company. As amended, the Company agreed to pay: (a) within 15 days following our consummation
of a financing transaction or series of related transactions in excess of $150,000 since the June 2022 closing of the Merger Agreement,
$12,500 of the outstanding Deferred Merger Consideration in cash to the former stockholders of SemaConnect (the “Stockholders”),
and (b) within 15 days following our consummation of any financing transaction or series of related transactions in excess of $250,000
since the closing of the Merger Agreement, fifty cents of every dollar of proceeds received by the Company in excess of $250,000 to repay
the Deferred Merger Consideration until all Deferred Merger Consideration is paid in full to the Stockholders . The Company agreed that
its payment obligations will be guaranteed by all of the Company’s United States subsidiaries and secured by a security interest
on all assets of the Company and its United States subsidiaries. The Company also agreed that such obligations will be due and payable
by April 1, 2025, shortening the original due date from June 13, 2025.
Each
Stockholder will have the right to convert its outstanding Deferred Merger Consideration (after the initial payment of $12,500, plus
accrued interest) into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 126% of the seven-day average prior
to the date of the Amendment; provided that under no circumstance will the Company be obligated to issue such number of shares equal
to or in excess of 20% of the Company’s common stock to the Stockholders, taking into account all common stock previously issued
to such holders in the transaction. Under the Amendment, interest on the Deferred Merger Consideration was increased from 7% to 9.5%
per annum following the date of the Amendment until full repayment of Deferred Merger Consideration . One half of the accrued interest
may be paid in cash and the other half may be paid in kind.
In
consideration of the agreement by the Stockholders to enter into the Amendment, the Company agreed to issue shares of its common stock
with a value of $ 1,000 (based on the average closing price on and over the three days before and after the date of the Amendment) to
the Stockholders’ Representative. The Company also agreed to reimburse up to $50 of the Stockholders’ Representative’s
out-of-pocket expenses.
On
June 30, 2023, the parties to the Amendment entered into an interim amendment to the Merger Agreement for administrative purposes, modifying
the transaction amount threshold related to Deferred Cash Consideration in the Merger Agreement from $ 125,000 to $ 127,000 .

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Special
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information
The
following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of Blink Charging Co. (together with its subsidiaries,
“Blink” or the “Company”) as of June 30, 2023 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 should
be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. References in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview
We
are a leading manufacturer, 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, state and municipal entities among other types of commercial
customers, (“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.
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, and maintenance,
and the percentage of revenue shared.
●
In
our Blink-owned turnkey business model, we incur 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, we incur most costs associated with the EV charging stations; thus, we retain substantially all EV charging revenues after
deducting network connectivity and processing fees. Typically, our agreement with the Property Partner lasts seven years with extensions
that can bring the term to a total of up to 21 years.
●
In
our Blink-owned hybrid business model, we incur the costs of the charging equipment while the Property Partner incurs the
costs of installation. We own and operate the EV charging station and provide connectivity to the Blink Networks. In this model,
the Property Partner incurs the installation costs associated with the EV station; thus, we share 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
fees. Typically, our agreement with the Property Partner lasts five years with extensions that can bring the term up to fifteen years.
●
In
our host-owned business model, the Property Partner purchases, owns and operates the Blink EV charging station and incurs
the installation costs. We work with the Property Partner by 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, we own and operate the EV charging station, while the Property Partner incurs the installation
costs. The Property Partner pays us a fixed monthly fee for the service and keeps all the EV charging revenues after deducting network
connectivity and processing fees. Typically, our agreement with the Property owner lasts five years.
We also
operate an EV based car-sharing business through our wholly owned subsidiary, Blink Mobility, LLC (“Blink Mobility”), which
allows customers the ability to rent electric vehicles through a subscription service and charge those cars through our charging stations.
In April 2023, Blink Mobility acquired Envoy Technologies, Inc. (“Envoy Technologies”), a software and mobility services
company offering shared EVs as an amenity for national real estate developers and owners. In connection with the acquisition of Envoy
Technologies, our board of directors authorized our management to begin planning the spin-off and initial public offering of Blink Mobility.
There is no guarantee the spin-off or initial public offering will occur.
18
As
part of our 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 being a leader
in the build out of EV charging infrastructure and increasing our 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.
As
of June 30, 2023, we sold or deployed 78,769 chargers, of which 59,797 were in Blink’s Networks (52,287 Level 2 publicly accessible
commercial chargers, 5,428 Level 2 private commercial chargers, 1,551 DC Fast Charging EV publicly accessible chargers, 30 DC Fast Charging
EV private chargers, and 500 residential Level 2 Blink EV chargers, inclusive of 7,628 chargers pending to be commissioned). Included
in the Blink Networks are 4,865 chargers owned by us. The remaining were non-networked, on other networks or international sales or deployments
(2,214 Level 2 commercial chargers, 115 DC Fast Charging chargers, 12,224 residential Level 2 Blink EV chargers, 2,971 sold to
other U.S. networks, 1,369 sold internationally and 80 deployed internationally). The charger units noted above are net of swap-out or
replacement units.
As
reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023, we had a cash balance of $74,464, working capital
of $100,484 and an accumulated deficit of $405,313. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred net losses of
$41,482 and $71,283, respectively. We have not yet achieved profitability.
Recent
Developments
Acquisition
On
April 18, 2023, the Company, Blink Mobility, LLC, a California limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Mobility”),
and Mobility Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Mobility (“Merger Sub”), entered into
and, after all parties met the closing conditions, consummated the transactions contemplated under an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
as of April 18, 2023 (the “Acquisition Agreement”), with Envoy Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Envoy”).
Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Envoy, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub
ceased, and Envoy was the surviving corporation of the merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mobility (the “Acquisition”).
Under
the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the acquisition consideration was up to $35,500, paid as follows: (i) $6,000 in cash paid upon
the closing of the Acquisition Agreement (the “Closing”); (ii) a promissory note of Mobility in the principal amount of $5,000
which bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum and becomes due 12 months from Closing; (iii) a promissory note of Mobility in the principal
amount of $2,000 which bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum and becomes due 18 months from Closing; 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
aggregate purchase price was $30,900, which included a working capital deficit of $1,791 and closing date cash of $19. The fair
value of the consideration paid in the acquisition consisted of: (a) $6,000 in cash ($4,679 was paid at Closing and $1,321 was paid
prior to Closing in the form of a note receivable); (b) $6,782 in aggregate promissory notes; and (c) $18,118 in common stock of
Mobility subject to the conditions described above.
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.
February
2023 Underwritten Public Offering
In
February 2023, the Company completed an underwritten registered public offering of 8,333,333 shares of its common stock at a public offering
price of $12.00 per share. The Company received approximately $100,000 in gross proceeds from the public offering and $94,766 in net
proceeds after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses paid by the Company. The public offering was made pursuant to
our automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on January 6, 2021, and prospectus supplement dated February
8, 2023. Barclays acted as the sole book-running manager for the offering. H.C. Wainwright & Co., Roth Capital Partners and ThinkEquity
acted as co-managers for the offering. The underwriters did not exercise the over-allotment granted to them in connection with the offering.

Current Economic Conditions
and Macroeconomic Environment
During
the last several years, the global economy has experienced disruption and sustained volatility due to a number of factors. For example,
the global outbreak of COVID-19 resulted in volatility in the global and domestic economies, changes in consumer and business behavior,
market downturns and restrictions on business and individual activities, resulting in overall reduced economic activity. 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 orders, chip shortage, the impact of other economic
conditions and continuous presence of Covid-19 may 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 and macroeconomic factors on our business
closely. For a further discussion of the risks, uncertainties and actions, see “Item 1A Risk Factors” in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
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.
Regulations
- Our business is subject to a variety of federal, state and international laws and regulations, including those with respect to
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 June 30, 2023 Compared Three Months Ended June 30, 2022
Revenues
Total
revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $21,356, or 186%, to $32,842 compared to $11,486 during the three months
ended June 30, 2022.
Charging
service revenue from Company-owned charging stations was $4,367 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to $1,494 for the
three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $2,873, or 192%. The increase is due to the increase in utilization of chargers and
an increased number of chargers on the Blink Networks.
Revenue
from product sales was $24,587 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $8,828 during the three months ended June 30, 2022,
an increase of $15,759, or 179%. This increase was attributable to increased sales of commercial chargers, DC fast chargers and residential
chargers when compared to the same period in 2022.
Network
fee revenues were $1,667 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $472 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase
of $1,195, or 253%. The increase was attributable to increases in host owned units as well as billings and invoicing to Property Partners
during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Warranty
revenues were $921 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $99 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of
$822, or 830%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in warranty contracts sold for the three months June 30, 2023 compared
to the three months June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, we recorded a liability of $221 which represents the estimated cost of existing
backlog of known warranty cases.
Grant
and rebate revenues were $188 during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $125 during the three months ended June 30, 2022,
an increase of $63 or 50%. Grant and rebates relating to equipment and the related installation are deferred and amortized in a manner
consistent with the depreciation expense of the related assets over their useful lives. 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 June 30, 2023, and 2022.
Car-sharing
services revenues were $957 during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $279 during the three months ended June 30, 2022,
an increase of $678 or 243%. These revenues are derived from car-sharing subscription services through a program with the City of Los
Angeles, which was associated with the acquisition of BlueLA in September 2020. Also contributing to the increase in revenues is revenues
of $654 from Envoy, which was acquired in April 2023.
Other
revenue decreased by $34 or 18% to $155 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to $189 for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
The increase was primarily attributable to higher Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits generated during the three months June 30,
2023 compared to the same period in 2022. 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 June 30, 2023 were $20,551 as compared to $9,529 for
the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $11,022, or 116%. 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.
Cost
of product sales increased by $6,790, or 107%, from $6,369 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $13,159 for the three

months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to $351 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in 2023 was attributable to
the mix of charging stations generating charging service revenues subject to electricity reimbursement.
Host
provider fees increased by $1,418, or 173%, to $2,239 during the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to $821 during the three
months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was a result of the mix of chargers generating revenue and their corresponding revenue share
percentage payments to Property Partner hosts pursuant to their agreements.

warranty and repairs and maintenance cases. Also contributing to the increase was $20 from EB. As of June 30, 2023, we recorded a liability
of $221 which represents the estimated cost of existing backlog of known warranty cases.
Cost
of car-sharing services was $1,594 during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $659 during the 2022 period, the increase
was due to increase in operating expenses as a result of an increase in vehicles used in this operation. Also contributing to the increase in costs for these services is $625 from Envoy, which was acquired in April 2023.
Depreciation
and amortization expense increased by $282, or 45%, to $906 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to $624 for the three
months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in depreciation expense was attributable to an increase in the number of EV charging stations
and vehicles associated with the car-share services.
Operating
Expenses

executive, marketing, sales and operations departments as a result of the anticipated domestic and international growth of our
company. In addition, compensation expense during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 increased
due to additional personnel in conjunction with the acquisition of Envoy in April 2023. Also contributing to the increase in
compensation expense is (1) non-cash stock-based compensation of approximately $5,500 related to the accelerated vesting of equity
award grants and additional stock-based compensation associated with the resignation of our former Chief Executive Officer pursuant
to the terms of his Executive Chairman and CEO Employment Agreement, dated May 28, 2021 (the “Former CEO Employment
Agreement”), as set forth in the Separation and General Release Agreement, dated as of June 20, 2023, between our Company and

expense is (1) non-cash stock-based compensation of approximately $5,500 related to the accelerated vesting of equity award grants
and additional stock-based compensation associated with the resignation of our former Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the terms
of the Former CEO Employment Agreement, as set forth in the Separation and General Release Agreement, dated as of June 20, 2023,
between our company and the former Chief Executive Officer; and (2) non-recurring expense of approximately $11,600, consisting of
the non-recurring payment of approximately $6,100 to our former Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the Former CEO Employment
Agreement and a non-recurring bonus expense of $5,500 related to the achievement of key performance indicators by our Chief
Technology Officer under his employment agreement, dated April 12,
2021.
General
and administrative expenses increased by $4,498 or 33%, to $17,927 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to $13,429 for
the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in accounting, legal, investor/public relations,
consulting, software licensing and other professional service expenditures of $3,331. Further,
general and administrative expenses increased due to increases in amortization expense of $2,716 related to the acquisitions in 2023
and 2022.
Other
operating expenses increased by $2,301, or 29%, to $9,111 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $7,080 for the six months ended
June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in software expense, rent,
hardware and software development costs and property/use tax expenditures of $2,930. Further, increases in travel and vehicle expenses
of $772, contributed to the increase in other operating expenses for six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.
Also contributing to the increase in other operating expenses were operating expenditures related to the 2023 and 2022 acquisitions.
Other
Income (Expense)
We
recorded other income (expense) of $38 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to $(760) for the six months ended June
30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in foreign transaction gains of $1,022 offset by interest expense of $(1,264), change in fair value of derivative and other liabilities of $83 and
other income of $957.
Net
Loss
Our
net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $33,519 or 89%, to $71,283 as compared to $37,764 for the six months ended
June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in compensation expense and general and administrative expenses.
Total
Comprehensive Loss
Our
total comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $70,988 whereas our total comprehensive loss for the six months ended
June 30, 2022 was $40,642.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We
measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including the following:
June 30, 2023
December 31, 2022
(unaudited)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
$ 74,464
$ 36,562
Working Capital
$ 100,484
$ 48,962
Debt
$ 47,426
$ 40,618
During
the six months ended June 30, 2023, we financed our activities from proceeds derived from 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 six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we used cash of $65,040 and $30,986, respectively, in operations. Our cash use for the six
months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $71,283, adjusted for net non-cash expenses in the aggregate
amount of $28,564, partially offset by $22,321 of net cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities. Our
cash use for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $37,764, adjusted for net non-cash expenses
in the aggregate amount of $7,629 and $851 of cash used to fund changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $10,833, of which $5,647 was used to purchase charging
stations and other fixed assets, $4,660 was used as cash consideration for Envoy (net of cash acquired) and $526 related to the capitalization
of certain engineering costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $52,233, of which,
$38,338 was used as cash consideration for SemaConnect (net of cash acquired), $11,360 was used as cash consideration for Electric Blue
(net of cash acquired) $288 was related to the payment of engineering costs that were capitalized, and $2,247 which was used to purchase
charging stations and other fixed assets.
25
During
the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash provided by financing activities was $112,426, of which, $113,254 was provided by offering
proceeds related to the sale of common stock, $835 was provided by the exercise of options and warrants, offset by $1,443 used to pay
down our liability in connection with a finance lease and $220 used to pay down our liability in connection with internal use software.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in financing activities was $214, of which, $92 was provided by the exercise of
warrants and options, offset by $235 used to pay down our liability in connection with internal use software and $71 was used to pay
down our finance lease liability.
As
of June 30, 2023, we had cash, working capital and an accumulated deficit of $74,464, $100,484 and $405,313, respectively. During the
six months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net loss of $71,283.
In
February 2023, the Company completed an underwritten registered public offering of 8,333,333 shares of its common stock at a public offering
price of $12.00 per share. The Company received approximately $100,000 in gross proceeds from the public offering and $94,766 in net
proceeds after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses paid by the Company. The public offering was made pursuant to
our automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on January 6, 2021, and prospectus supplement dated February
8, 2023. Barclays acted as the sole book-running manager for the offering. H.C. Wainwright & Co., Roth Capital Partners and ThinkEquity
acted as co-managers for the offering. The underwriters did not exercise the over-allotment granted to them in connection with the offering.
We
have not yet achieved profitability and expect to continue to incur cash outflows from operations. 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 after the issuance date of the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
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 EV 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, having an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000 through the Agents, as our 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. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we sold
2,757,168 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $18,868 pursuant to the ATM program. As of June 30, 2023,
3,315,889 shares have been sold pursuant to the ATM program representing gross proceeds of approximately $26,565.
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 June 30, 2023, we had purchase commitment
of approximately $33,000, 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 12-24 months.
Further,
we have operating and finance lease obligations over the next five years of approximately $11,119. These operating lease obligations
are primarily related to corporate office space, warehousing, and parking spaces related to our car-sharing services.
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
it relies are reasonably based upon information available to us at the time that it makes 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, 2022. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting
policies and estimates since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
26
Revenue
Recognition
We
recognize 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 or installation of the product
●
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 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 its 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.
Income
Taxes
We
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 our 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 June 30, 2023. 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 June 30, 2023, 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 15d15(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 June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls
and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses 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, 2022, under the heading “Management’s
Annual 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
During
the quarter ended June 30, 2023, Management remediated the design deficiencies associated with the material weaknesses around
logical access and change management. Management will continue to validate the operational effectiveness of this remediation during
the third quarter of 2023.
During
2022, there was an isolated occurrence of a miscalculation of a certain non-cash share-based compensation transaction that was not detected
on a timely basis. Management has since subscribed to a share-based compensation software that is expected to perform complex calculations
completely and accurately. Management is reviewing the calculations performed by the software and expects to report that this weakness
has been remediated by the end of the fourth quarter. Management expects to come to a final determination on these matters so as to appropriately
integrate the outcomes in management’s assessment of Internal Controls over Financial reporting as of December 31, 2023.
During
the second quarter, management continued to commit substantial resources to the ongoing evaluation of the internal control over
financial reporting of its previously exempted subsidiaries, SemaConnect and Blink Charging UK Limited.
Except
as described above, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter
ended June 30, 2023, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

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, 2022,
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 $42 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, we had net working capital of approximately
$101 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $405 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. 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 in the future. Such additional funding may not be available
on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
We
received an SEC subpoena and are cooperating with the SEC.
In
July 2023, we received a subpoena from the SEC requesting the production of documentation and other information since January 1, 2020,
relating to various subjects, including executive departures, related-party transactions, number of EV charging stations, and other discrete
disclosure matters. We intend to fully cooperate with the SEC and are in the process of responding to the subpoena. At this point, we
are unable to predict what the timing or the outcome of the SEC investigation may be or what, if any, consequences the SEC investigation
may have on us. We can provide no assurances as to the outcome of the SEC investigation.
