Sales of Unregistered Securities
Warrant
On
July 3, 2019, we issued Cleveland a three-year warrant (the Cleveland Warrant) to purchase our common stock in a number equal
to one-half percent (0.5%) of the number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to the total number of shares
of common stock sold in a public offering. The Cleveland Warrant had an exercise price equal to the per share public offering
price. On September 1, 2019, the Cleveland Warrant was amended and restated to change the warrant coverage from 0.5% to 1% of
the number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to the total number of shares of common stock sold in the
next private or public offering (Offering). In addition, the exercise price was also changed to equal the per share price of common
stock sold in the Offering. The closing of a private offering constituting the Offering occurred on July 24, 2020. Upon such closing,
the Warrant represented a right to purchase up to 83,205 shares of common stock at $4.00 per share (subject to beneficial ownership
limitations). The Warrant and the common stock underlying the Cleveland Warrant, as amended, have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or
an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Such securities were offered and sold in reliance
upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities
Act.

Overview
We
design, develop, manufacture, and sell advanced rechargeable lithium-ion energy storage solutions for lift trucks, and other industrial
equipment including airport ground support equipment (“GSE”), energy storage for solar applications, and industrial
robotic applications. Our “LiFT Pack” battery packs, including our proprietary battery management system (“BMS”),
provide our customers with a better performing, lower cost of ownership, and more environmentally friendly alternative, in many
instances, to traditional lead acid and propane-based solutions.
We
have received Underwriters Laboratory (“UL”) Listing on our Class 3 Walkie Pallet Jack LiFT Pack product line, our
Class 1 Counterbalance/Sit down/Ride-on LiFT Packs, currently have in testing our Class 2 Narrow Aisle LiFT Packs, and are scheduling
this year our Class 3 End Rider LiFT Pack. We believe that a UL Listing demonstrates the safety, reliability and durability of
our products and gives us an important competitive advantage over other lithium-ion energy suppliers. Many of our LiFT Packs have
been approved for use by leading industrial motive manufacturers, including Toyota Material Handling USA, Inc., Crown Equipment
Corporation, and Raymond Corporation.
Reverse
Stock Split
We
effected a 1-for-10 reverse split of our common stock and preferred stock on July 11, 2019 (“2019 Reverse Split”).
No fractional shares were issued in connection with the 2019 Reverse Split. If, as a result of the 2019 Reverse Split, a stockholder
would otherwise have been entitled to a fractional share, each fractional share was rounded up. The 2019 Reverse Split resulted
in a reduction of our outstanding shares of common stock from 51,000,868 to 5,101,580. In addition, it resulted in a reduction
of our authorized shares of common stock from 300,000,000 to 30,000,000, and a reduction of our authorized shares of preferred
stock from 5,000,000 to 500,000. The par value of our stock remained unchanged at $0.001. In addition, by reducing the number
of our outstanding shares, our loss per share in all periods presented was increased by a factor of ten.

PPP
Loan. On May 1, 2020, Flux Power applied for and received a loan from the Bank of America, NA (the “BOA”) in the
aggregate principal amount of $1,297,083 (the “PPP Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”)
under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan is evidenced by a promissory
note dated May 1, 2020, issued by Flux Power to the BOA (the “PPP Note”). The PPP Loan has a two-year term and bears
interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for six months after the date of disbursement.
The Borrower received the funds on or around May 4, 2020. The PPP Note may be prepaid by Flux Power at any time prior to maturity
with no prepayment penalties. Proceeds from the PPP Loan are available to Flux Power to fund designated expenses, including certain
payroll costs, group health care benefits and other permitted expenses, in accordance with the PPP. Under the terms of the PPP,
up to the entire amount of principal and accrued interest may be forgiven to the extent PPP Loan proceeds are used for qualifying
expenses as described in the CARES Act and applicable implementing guidance issued by the U.S. Small Business Administration under
the PPP. Flux Power intends to use the entire PPP Loan amount for designated qualifying expenses and to apply for forgiveness
of the PPP Loan in accordance with the terms of the PPP. No assurance can be given that Flux Power will obtain forgiveness of
the PPP Loan in whole or in part. With respect to any portion of the PPP Loan that is not forgiven, the PPP Loan will be subject
to customary provisions for a loan of this type, including customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment
defaults, and breaches of the provisions of the PPP Note. As of September 25, 2020, the outstanding balance was approximately
$1,297,000.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Financial Statements, which have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis,
we evaluate our estimates based on its historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.
We
believe the following critical accounting policies and estimates affect the preparation of our financial statements:
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. The Company has not experienced collections issues related to its
accounts receivable and has not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
30
Inventories
Inventories
consist primarily of battery management systems and the related subcomponents, and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in,
first-out) or net realizable value. The Company evaluates inventories to determine if write-downs are necessary due to obsolescence
or if the inventory levels are in excess of anticipated demand at market value based on consideration of historical sales and
product development plans. The Company recorded an adjustment related to obsolete inventory in the amount of approximately $15,000
and $90,000 during the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Revenue
Recognition
On
July 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new accounting standard FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic
606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) for all contracts using the modified retrospective method.
Based on the Company’s analysis of contracts with customers in prior periods, there was no cumulative effect adjustment
to the opening balance of the Company’s accumulated deficit as a result of the adoption of this new standard.
The
Company derives its revenue from the sale of products to customers. The Company sells its products primarily through a distribution
network of equipment dealers, OEMs and battery distributors in North America. The Company recognizes revenue for products when
all the significant risks and rewards have been transferred to the customer, no continuing managerial involvement usually associated
with ownership of the goods is retained, no effective control over the goods sold is retained, the amount of revenue can be measured
reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transactions will flow to the Company and the costs incurred
or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Product
revenue is recognized as a distinct single performance obligation which represents the point in time that our customer receives
delivery of the products. Our customers do have a right to return product but our returns have historically been insignificant.
Product
Warranties
The
Company evaluates its exposure to product warranty obligations based on historical experience. Our products, primarily lift equipment
packs, are warrantied for five years unless modified by a separate agreement. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company carried
warranty liability of approximately $726,000 and $361,000, respectively, which is included in accrued expenses on the Company’s
consolidated balance sheets.
Stock-based
Compensation
Pursuant
to the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic No. 718-10, Compensation-Stock Compensation , which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee
service, we utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of employee stock option awards at the date
of grant, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes
in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fair value of our share-based compensation. These
assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fair value, some
of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical
experience with stock-based payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment,
based on relevant facts and circumstances.
Common
stock or equity instruments such as warrants issued for services to non-employees are valued at their estimated fair value at
the measurement date (the date when a firm commitment for performance of the services is reached, typically the date of issuance,
or when performance is complete). If the total value exceeds the par value of the stock issued, the value in excess of the par
value is added to the additional paid-in-capital.
Segment
and Related Information
We
operate as a single reportable segment.

Revenues
Our
product focus is primarily on lift equipment, reflecting our current products for walkie pallet jacks, and higher capacity packs
for Class 1, 2, and 3 forklifts. We are also expanding on an opportunistic basis to adjacent applications, including airport ground
support equipment (“GSE”). We feel that we are well positioned to address these markets, which would utilize our modular
and scalable battery pack design and technology.
We
currently sell most of our products through a distribution network of equipment dealers, OEMs and battery distributors in North
America. This distribution network mostly sells to large company, national accounts. However, we do sell certain battery packs
directly to other accounts including industrial equipment manufacturers and the ultimate end-user.
Revenues
for Fiscal 2020 increased $7,525,000 or 81%, to $16,842,000, compared to $9,317,000 for Fiscal 2019. This increase in revenues
during Fiscal 2020 was primarily attributable to expansion into larger equipment that is part of the fleets of existing customers.
Revenue increases also came from selling packs for narrow aisle forklifts and natural business extensions like stationary energy
storage. The increase in revenue was also attributable to the increase in battery pack sales across several of the different series
of batteries as we continue to add new product lines.
Cost
of Sales
Cost
of sales for Fiscal 2020 increased $5,888,000 or 67%, to $14,656,000 compared to $8,768,000 for Fiscal 2019. The increase in cost
of sales was directly attributable to the substantial increase in sales as discussed above. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue
for Fiscal 2020 was 87%, a decrease of 7%, compared to 94% for Fiscal 2019. The material cost per LiFT Pack in Fiscal 2020 decreased
compared to Fiscal 2019 as new design innovation and volume discounts resulted in lower costs of materials per pack. The improvement
in lower costs per pack and the higher mix of larger pack sales provided a gross profit during Fiscal 2020 as compared to Fiscal
2019. Warranty expense for Fiscal 2020 increased as a result of the higher sales volume. As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately
$726,000 accrued for product warranty liability. The decrease in cost of sales as a percent of revenue is directly related the
Company’s gross margin improvement initiative that has resulted in reductions in material costs, simplified component design,
decrease in labor expense, and decreased warranty expense per pack. We expect continued improvements to the gross margin as a
result of the initiative.

Selling
and Administrative Expenses
Selling
and administrative expenses for Fiscal 2020 increased $2,049,000 or 27%, to $9,761,000 compared to $7,712,000 for Fiscal 2019.
Such expenses consist primarily of salaries and personnel related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, public company costs,
consulting costs, professional fees and other expenses. The increase is primarily attributable to increases in stock-based compensation,
payroll costs related to additional new hires, and rent expenses associated with our new facility.
Research
and Development
Research
and development expenses for Fiscal 2020 increased $885,000 or 22%, to $4,973,000 compared to $4,088,000 for Fiscal 2019. Such
expenses consist primarily of materials, supplies, salaries and personnel related expenses, testing costs, consulting costs, and
other expenses associated with the continued development of our packs, as well as, research into new product opportunities. The
increase in expenses was primarily due to the UL listing expenses and additional headcount. We anticipate research and development
expenses will remain a significant portion of our expenses as we continue to develop, expand and add new and improved products
to our product line-up.
Other
Income
Other
income during Fiscal 2019 was $84,000 and was related to the liability release of a related party customer deposit.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense for Fiscal 2020 increased $541,000 or 43%, to $1,788,000 compared to $1,247,000 for Fiscal 2019. Interest expense consist
primarily of interest expense related to our outstanding lines of credit and promissory notes. Interest expense for the year ended
June 30, 2019 included additional interest expense of approximately $466,000 agreed to be paid under the Early Conversion Agreement
with Esenjay as well as origination fees of $25,000 for the shareholder lines of credit.
Net
Loss
Net
loss during Fiscal 2020 increased $1,922,000 or 15%, to $14,336,000 compared to $12,414,000 for Fiscal 2019. The increase is primarily
attributable to increased research and development costs, selling and administrative expenses, and interest expense, partially
offset by improved gross profit.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Overview
As
of June 30, 2020, we had a cash balance of $726,000 and an accumulated deficit of $53,412,000. We believe our current cash balance,
combined with the net proceeds from our recent private placement financing and public offering, will provide sufficient liquidity
and capital resources to fund planned operations for at least the twelve months following the filing date of this Annual Report.
The Company continues to work on securing additional capital from a variety of current and new sources including, but not limited
to, working capital line of credit facilities, private placements of convertible debt and/or equity securities and public offerings
of our equity. See “Future Liquidity Needs” below.
Cash
Flows
Operating
Activities
Our
operating activities resulted in net cash used in operations of $8,344,000 for Fiscal 2020, compared to net cash used in operations
of $10,712,000 for Fiscal 2019. The primary reason for the decrease in net cash used in operations was a lower increases in inventory
on hand and accounts receivable, as well as higher increases in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, due to factor, and significant
customer deposits, partially offset by increase in net loss as adjusted for noncash operating activities and a decrease in accrued
interest.
The
net cash used in operating activities for Fiscal 2020 reflects the net loss of $14,336,000 for the period offset primarily by
non-cash items in aggregate amount of approximately $4,213,000, including stock-based compensation, non-cash interest expense,
non-cash facility lease expense, allowance for inventory reserve, depreciation, and stock issued for services.
33
The
net cash used in operating activities for Fiscal 2019 reflects the net loss of $12,414,000 for the period offset primarily by
non-cash items in aggregate amount of approximately $2,985,000, including depreciation, stock-based compensation, stock issued
for services, and non-cash interest expense on conversion.
Investing
Activities
Net
cash used in investing activities for Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019 totaled $323,000 and $275,000, respectively, which consisted
primarily of office and warehouse equipment purchases and the cost of internally developed software.
Financing
Activities
Net
cash provided by financing activities during Fiscals 2020 and 2019 was $9,291,000 and $8,383,000, respectively. The increase in
cash provided by financing activities primarily results from the increase in net borrowings from our lines of credit and short-term
promissory notes, and proceeds from the Paycheck Protection Program loan, partially offset by a decrease in proceeds from private
placement sale of our common stock.
Future
Liquidity Needs
We
have evaluated our expected cash requirements over the next twelve months, which include, but are not limited to, investments
in additional sales and marketing and product development resources, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements and
have determined that our existing cash, combined with the net proceeds from our recent private placement financing and public
offering, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital resources to fund planned operations for the next twelve months.
To provide capital for anticipated growth, we intend to seek a revolving line of credit from a bank. In addition, to support
our operations and execute on our business plan, we intend to continue to work on securing additional capital from a variety of
current and new sources including, but not limited to, working capital line of credit facilities, private placements of convertible
debt and/or equity securities and public offerings of our equity. In addition to raising additional capital, the Company has a
gross margin improvement initiative in place to improve cash flow from operations. The initiative includes design optimization,
improved vendor pricing, lower cost electronic boards for the battery management system, a total redesign of the end rider battery
pack, and labor cost reductions.
To
the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, our shareholders may experience additional
significant dilution and such financing may involve restrictive covenants.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As
of June 30, 2020, we did not have any other relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities
often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating
off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing,
liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Recently
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize a lease asset representing its
right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability for the payments to be made to lessor, on its balance
sheet for all operating leases with a term greater than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Although ASU 2016-02 is required to be adopted
at the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842):
Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018- 11”), which allows for an alternative transition method of adoption by recognizing
a cumulative-effect adjustment, if any, to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company
adopted ASU 2016-02 on July 1, 2019, utilizing the alternative transition method allowed under ASU 2018-11. As a result,
the Company recorded right-of-use assets and the lease liability of approximately $2.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively,
on its balance sheet as of July 1, 2019. The lease liability represents the present value of the remaining lease payments of the
Company’s facility lease (see Note 10), discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as of July 1, 2019.
The corresponding right-of-use lease asset is recorded based on the lease liability, adjusted for the unamortized lease incentives
received and the cumulative difference between rent expense and amounts paid under the facility lease. The adoption of this guidance
by the Company, effective July 1, 2019, did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On
June 20, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee
Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 is intended to reduce the cost and complexity and
to improve financial reporting for share-based payments to nonemployees for goods and services. The amendments in ASU 2018-07
are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein. The adoption of this guidance
by the Company, effective July 1, 2019, did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
