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
June 30, 2023 and for the six months then ended. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 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.
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 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 ,

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 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.

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 .
