ITEM
9A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Act of 1934.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be included
in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, relating
to the Company, including our consolidated subsidiary, and was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly
during the period when this report was being prepared. Based on the management’s assessment and review of our financial
statements and results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were effective for purposes stated above.
The
management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s
principal executive officer and principal financial officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems
determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurances with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting,
as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. As of June 30, 2020 management assessed the effectiveness
of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial
reporting established in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO criteria”). Based on the assessment, management determined that the Company
maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020 based on the COSO criteria.
35
This
Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting
firm regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as such report is not required
due to the Company’s status as a smaller reporting company.
Change
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.

Involvement
in Certain Legal Proceedings
To
the best of our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of our directors or executive officers were involved in any of the
following: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive
officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding
or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to
any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently

Board
Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
The
Board does not have a policy as to whether the roles of our chairman and chief executive officer should be separate. Instead,
the Board makes this determination based on what best serves our Company’s needs at any given time.
In
its governance role, and particularly in exercising its duty of care and diligence, the Board is responsible for ensuring that
appropriate risk management policies and procedures are in place to protect the Company’s assets and business. Our Board
has broad and ultimate oversight responsibility for our risk management processes and programs and executive management is responsible
for the day-to-day evaluation and management of risks to the Company.
Board
Composition, Committees and Independence
Under
the rules of NASDAQ, “independent” directors must make up a majority of a listed company’s board of directors.
In addition, applicable NASDAQ rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit
and compensation committees be independent within the meaning of the applicable NASDAQ rules. Audit committee members must also
satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.
Our
Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and considered whether any director has a material relationship
with us that could compromise the director’s ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities.
As a result of this review, our Board determined that Ms. Walters-Hoffert, Mr. Cosentino and Mr. Robinette are independent directors
as defined in the listing standards of NASDAQ and SEC rules and regulations. A majority of our directors are independent, as required
under applicable NASDAQ rules. As required under applicable NASDAQ rules, our independent directors will meet in regularly scheduled
executive sessions at which only independent directors are present.
38
Board
Committees
Our
Board has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Governance Committee. The composition
and responsibilities of each of the committees is described below.
Audit

annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by any internal auditors and independent public accountants, including
their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The Audit Committee will at all times be composed
exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, free from any relationship that would interfere with
the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding of consolidated financial statements
and generally accepted accounting principles. Our Audit Committee operates under a written charter, which is available on our
website at www.fluxpower.com .

members of our Compensation Committee are independent under NASDAQ’s independence standards for compensation committee members.

Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics
Our
Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) that applies to all of our directors, officers,
and employees. Any waivers of any provision of this Code for our directors or officers may be granted only by the Board or a committee
appointed by the Board. Any waivers of any provisions of this Code for an employee or a representative may be granted only by
our chief executive officer or principal accounting officer. We have filed a copy of the Code with the SEC and have made it available
on our website at www.fluxpower.com. In addition, we will provide any person, without charge, a copy of this Code. Requests for
a copy of the Code may be made by writing to the Company at is c/o Flux Power Holdings, Inc., 2685 S. Melrose Drive, Vista, California
92081.
Indemnification
Agreements
We
executed a standard form of indemnification agreement (“Indemnification Agreement”) with each of our Board members
and executive officers (each, an “Indemnitee”).
39
Pursuant
to and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in the Indemnification Agreement, we agreed to indemnify each
Indemnitee, against any and all expenses incurred in connection with the Indemnitee’s service as our officer, director and
or agent, or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee, agent or advisor of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, limited liability company, or other entity or enterprise but only if the Indemnitee acted in good faith
and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interest, and in the case of a criminal proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. In addition, the indemnification provided in the indemnification
agreement is applicable whether or not negligence or gross negligence of the Indemnitee is alleged or proven. Additionally, the
Indemnification Agreement establishes processes and procedures for indemnification claims, advancement of expenses and costs and
contribution obligations.
Delinquent
Section 16(a) Reports
Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more
than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports
of changes in ownership and Annual Reports concerning their ownership, of Common Stock and other of our equity securities on Forms
3, 4, and 5, respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulations to
furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on our review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments thereto
filed electronically with the SEC during the most recent fiscal year, we believe that all reports required by Section 16(a) for
transactions in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, were timely filed except for a late filing of a Form 4 by Michael Johnson
for a transaction dated June 2, 2020.

The
fair value of each option grant is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility
is calculated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk free interest rate is based on the
U.S. Treasury yield for a term equal to the expected life of the options at the time of grant.

ITEM
13 - CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
2020
Private Placement
From
April 2020 to July 2020, pursuant to private placement offerings, we sold and issued an aggregate of 1,141,250 shares of common
stock, at $4.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,565,000 in cash to twenty-seven (27) accredited investors. Esenjay

In addition, Mr. Cosentino, one of our directors, also participated in the offering in the amount of $250,000.
Credit
Facility Agreement
On
March 28, 2019, Flux Power, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement with Esenjay, Cleveland and other lenders
(Cleveland and Esenjay, together with additional parties that joined and may join as additional lenders, collectively the “Lenders”)
relating to a line of credit (“LOC”) to amend and restate the terms of the Credit Facility Agreement dated March 22,
2018 between Flux Power and Esenjay (the Original Credit Facility Agreement) in its entirety to (i) increase the maximum principal
amount available under the LOC from $5,000,000 to $7,000,000, (ii) add Cleveland as an additional lender to the LOC pursuant to
which each lender has a right to advance a pro rata amount of the principal amount available under the LOC, (iii) extend the maturity
date from March 31, 2019 to December 31, 2019, and (iv) to provide for additional parties to become a Lender under the LOC. Mr.
Michael Johnson, a member of our board of directors and a major stockholder, is the beneficial owner and director of Esenjay.
To
secure the obligations under the secured notes issued under the LOC (LOC Notes), Flux Power entered into an Amended and Restated
Security Agreement dated March 28, 2019 with the Lenders (the “Amended Security Agreement”). The Amended Security
Agreement amended and restated the Guaranty and Security Agreement dated March 22, 2018, by and between Flux Power and Esenjay,
to among other things, amend such agreement to include Cleveland and the other Lender as additional secured parties to the Amended
Security Agreement and appoint Esenjay as collateral agent. In connection with the LOC, on March 28, 2019, we issued a secured
promissory note to Cleveland (the “Original Cleveland Note”), and an amended and restated secured promissory note
to Esenjay, which amended and superseded the secured promissory note dated March 22, 2018 (the “Original Esenjay Note”
and together with the Original Cleveland Note, the “Original Notes”). The Original Notes were issued for the aggregate
principal amount of $7,000,000 or such lesser principal amount advanced by the respective Lender under the LOC.
The
Original Credit Facility Agreement was amended and restated on October 10, 2019 (the “Second Restated Credit Facility Agreement”)
to amend and restate the terms of the LOC to increase the line of credit under the LOC from $7,000,000 to $10,000,000 (the “LOC
Increase”). In addition, Flux Power and the Lenders amended the Amended Security Agreement to reflect the Second Restated
Credit Facility. In connection therewith, each Lender and Flux also entered into an amendment to amend their Original Notes to
reflect the LOC Increase (the “Amended Notes”).
On
December 31, 2019, the Amended Notes were further amended to (i) increase the LOC from $10,000,000 to $12,000,000, (ii) extend
the maturity date of their respective secured promissory note under the Credit Facility from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020,
and (iii) capitalize all accrued and unpaid interest to the principal amount as of December 31, 2019 (the “Second Amended
Notes”). As an inducement to the Lenders for entering into the Second Amended Notes, we granted the Lenders the right to
convert, in whole or in parts, all of the outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest under the Second Amended
Notes for shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, at the conversion price equal to the purchase price at the next financing
of at least $1,000,000 on or after December 31, 2019.
45
On
June 30, 2020, Flux Power and the Lenders executed the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note which
(i) extended the maturity date of the Secured Notes from June 30, 2020 to December 31, 2020, and (ii) capitalized all accrued
and unpaid interest to the principal amount as of June 30, 2020 (the Third Amendment and with the Amended Notes, the Notes. In
addition, in connection with our private placement of up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 to accredited
investors for an aggregate amount of up to approximately $8,000,000, or $4.00 per share of Common Stock (the “Offering”),
we completed an initial closing of the Offering on June 30, 2020 pursuant to which an aggregate of 275,000 shares were issued
for $1,100,000 of shares of common stock for cash. As a result of the initial closing of the Offering, each of the Lenders has
a right to convert the principal and accrued interest outstanding under their respective Notes into shares of common stock at
$4.00 per share, which was the price per share of common stock sold under the Offering.
Following
the initial closing of the Offering, Esenjay converted $4,400,000 of its Esenjay LOC Note, which consisted of principal plus accrued
interest, into shares of common stock at $4.00 per share, for an aggregate of 1,100,000 shares of common stock (“Conversion”).
In addition, on June 26, 2020, Esenjay partially assigned $1,350,000 of its Esenjay LOC Note to certain creditors of Esenjay as
settlement of obligations owed by Esenjay to such creditors. As of June 30, 2020, and following the Conversion, Esenjay had approximately
$984,000 outstanding under its Note, and Cleveland and the other Lenders had approximately $4,306,000 outstanding under their
respective Notes, for a combined total of approximately $5,290,000 outstanding under the LOC. In August 2020, we made a payment
of $1,000,000 to some of our lenders, including $600,000 to Esenjay, as partial repayment of outstanding principal under the Notes
relating to the LOC. As of August 31, 2020, Esenjay had approximately $884,000 outstanding under its Note, which includes the
consolidation of the amount previously due under the Esenjay Note, and Cleveland and the other Lenders had approximately $3,512,000
outstanding under their respective Notes, for a combined total of approximately $4,396,000 outstanding under the LOC. The
LOC Notes bear an interest rate of 15% per annum and have a maturity date of September 30, 2021.
Cleveland
Loan
On
July 3, 2019, Flux Power entered into a loan agreement with Cleveland, pursuant to which Cleveland agreed to provide a loan for
$1,000,000 (the “Cleveland Loan”). In connection with the Cleveland Loan, on July 3, 2019, Flux Power issued Cleveland
an unsecured short-term promissory note in the amount of $1,000,000 (the “Unsecured Promissory Note”). The Unsecured
Promissory Note bears an interest rate of 15.0% per annum and was originally due on September 1, 2019, unless repaid earlier from
a percentage of proceeds from certain identified accounts receivable. In connection with the Cleveland Loan, we issued Cleveland
a three-year warrant (the “Cleveland Warrant”) to purchase common stock in a number equal to 0.5% of the number of
shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to the total number of shares of common stock to be sold in a contemplated
public offering and with an exercise price equal to the per share public offering price.
On
September 1, 2019, Flux Power entered into the First Amendment to the Unsecured Promissory Note pursuant to which the maturity
date of the Unsecured Promissory Note was modified from September 1, 2019 to December 1, 2019 (the “First Amendment”).
In connection with the First Amendment, we replaced the Cleveland Warrant with the Amended and Restated Warrant Certificate (the
“Amended Warrant”). The Amended Warrant increased 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. In addition, the exercise price was also changed to equal the per share price of common stock sold in such offering.
46
On
December 3, 2019, Flux Power entered into the Second Amendment to the Unsecured Promissory Note pursuant to which the maturity
date was modified from December 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 and waived any Event of Default (as defined in the Unsecured Promissory
Note) arising from the failure of Flux Power to make the requirement payment due on December 1, 2019 under the First Amendment
(the “Second Amendment”). On December 31, 2019, Flux Power entered into the Third Amendment to the Unsecured Promissory
Note pursuant to which the maturity date was modified from December 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020, and all accrued and unpaid interest
as of December 31, 2019 was capitalized to the principal amount (the “Third Amendment”). On March 31, 2020, Flux Power
entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Unsecured Promissory Note pursuant to which the maturity date was modified from March
31, 2020 to April 30, 2020, and all accrued and unpaid interest as of March 31, 2020 was capitalized to the principal amount (the
“Fourth Amendment”). On April 30, 2020 Flux Power entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Unsecured Promissory Note
pursuant to which extended the maturity date from April 30, 2020 to May 31, 2020, and capitalized all accrued and unpaid interest
to the principal amount as of April 30, 2020 (the “Fifth Amendment”). On May 29, 2020, Flux Power entered into the
Sixth Amendment to the Unsecured Promissory Note pursuant to which extended the maturity date from May 31, 2020 to June 30, 2020,
and capitalized all accrued and unpaid interest to the principal amount (the “Sixth Amendment”). On June 30, 2020,
Flux Power entered into the Seventh Amendment to the Unsecured Promissory Note which extended the maturity date from June 30,

the outstanding loan from Cleveland to the Company in the principal amount of $1,157,000, the Company entered into the Eighth
Amendment to the Unsecured Promissory Note which extended the maturity date from July 31, 2020 to August 31, 2020, and capitalized
all accrued and unpaid interest as of July 27, 2020 to the principal amount (the “Eighth Amendment” and together with
the Original Note, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment,
the Sixth Amendment and the Seventh Amendment, the “Cleveland Note”). On August 19, 2020, the Company paid Cleveland
the entire remaining principal balance due under the Cleveland Loan, together with all accrued interest payable as of August 19,
2020, in an aggregate amount of approximately $978,000.
Esenjay
Loan
On
March 9, 2020, we entered into a convertible promissory note with Esenjay (“Original Esenjay Note”) pursuant to which
Esenjay provided us with a loan in the principal amount of $750,000 (the “Esenjay Loan”). The Original Esenjay Note
bears an interest rate of 15% per annum and was originally due on the earlier of: (i) June 30, 2020, unless extended pursuant
to the terms thereunder, or (ii) an occurrence of an event of default. The outstanding obligations under the Original Esenjay
Note are convertible into shares of common stock at the cash price per share of the equity securities paid by purchasers in the
offering at any time upon consummation of an offering of equity securities of at least $1,000,000 before the maturity date.
On
June 2, 2020, the Original Esenjay Note was amended and restated to (i) extend the maturity date from June 30, 2020 to September
30, 2020, and (ii) to increase the principal amount outstanding under the Esenjay Note from $750,000 to $1,400,000 (the “Esenjay
Note”).
On
June 26, 2020, Esenjay assigned $500,000 of the Esenjay Note to two (2) accredited investors. On June 30, 2020, in connection
with the completion of our initial closing of the Offering, the principal amount outstanding under the Esenjay Note became convertible
into shares of common stock at $4.00 per share, which was the cash price per share of the Offering (“Esenjay Initial Conversion”).
The two note holders converted their notes into shares of common stock at $4.00 per share. In addition, on July 22, 2020, one
individual, who became a note holder to the Esenjay Note pursuant to the assignment of such note to the note holder, elected to
convert $400,000 in principal, into 100,000 shares of common stock at $4.00 per share (together with the Esenjay Initial Conversion,
the Esenjay Note Conversion). Immediately prior to the Esenjay Initial Conversion, there was an aggregate of approximately $1,400,000
in principal outstanding under the Esenjay Note. Immediately after the Esenjay Note Conversion, there was approximately $500,000
in principal outstanding under the Esenjay Note, which is convertible into approximately 125,000 shares of common stock at the
option of the note holder(s) at $4.00 per share.
LOC

On August 31, 2020, we entered into a certain Third Amended and

the maturity date from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021,and (ii) to include outstanding obligations for an aggregate amount
of approximately $564,000, consisting of $500,000 in principal and approximately $64,000 in accrued interest, under the Esenjay
Note, into the LOC. As of August 31, 2020, after the consolidation there was approximately $4,396,000 in principal outstanding
which is convertible, at the option of the note holder, into approximately 1,099,000 shares of common stock (subject to any beneficial
ownership limitations) at $4.00 per share. As of August 31, 2020, there was approximately $7,604,000 available for future draws.
47
Other
Loan Agreements With Esenjay
Between
October 2011 and September 2012, we entered into three debt agreements with Esenjay. The three debt agreements consisted of a
Bridge Loan Promissory Note (“Bridge Note”), a Secondary Revolving Promissory Note (“Revolving Note”)
and an Unrestricted Line of Credit (“Unrestricted LOC”). On December 31, 2015, the Bridge Note and the Revolving Note
expired, leaving the Unrestricted LOC available for future draws. The Unrestricted LOC had a maximum borrowing amount of $10,000,000,
was convertible at a rate of $6.00 per share, bore interest at 8% per annum and was to mature on January 31, 2019. On October
31, 2018, we entered into an Early Note Conversion Agreement pursuant to which Esenjay converted the outstanding principal amount
of $7,975,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest of $1,041,280 under the Bridge Note, Revolving Note and the Unrestricted LOC into
1,502,714 shares of our common stock. In connection with the Early Note Conversion Agreement, we issued an additional 26,802 shares
of common stock to Esenjay and recorded the issuance as interest expense at the stock’s fair value of approximately $466,000.
On
March 22, 2018, Flux Power entered into a Credit Facility Agreement with Esenjay with a maximum borrowing amount of $5,000,000.
Proceeds from the Original Credit Facility Agreement were to be used to purchase inventory and related operational expenses and
accrued interest at a rate of 15% per annum. The outstanding balance of the Original Credit Facility and accrued interest was
due and payable on March 31, 2019. Funds received from Esenjay since December 5, 2017 and prior to the Original Credit Facility
Agreement were consolidated under the Original Credit Facility. As disclosed above, the Original Credit Facility was subsequently
amended and restated.
Stockholder
Short Term Lines of Credit
On
October 26, 2018, we entered into a credit facility agreement with a related party, pursuant to which Cleveland agreed to make
available to Flux a line of credit (“2018 Cleveland LOC”) in a maximum principal amount at any time outstanding of
up to $2,000,000 with a maturity date of December 31, 2018. The 2018 Cleveland LOC has an origination fee in the amount of $20,000,
which represents 1% of the 2018 Cleveland LOC, and carries a simple interest of 12% per annum. Interest is calculated on the basis
of the actual daily balances outstanding under the 2018 Cleveland LOC. The 2018 Cleveland LOC was repaid on December 27, 2018.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We have audited the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Flux Power Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary (the Company) as of June 30, 2020 and
2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years
then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion,
the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2020 and
2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial
statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities
laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits
in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of
our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express
no such opinion.
Our audits included
performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud,
and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE
1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
Nature
of Business
Flux
Power Holdings, Inc. (“Flux”) was incorporated in 1998 in the State of Nevada. On June 14, 2012, we changed our name
to Flux Power Holdings, Inc. Flux’s operations are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiary, Flux Power, Inc. (“Flux
Power”), a California corporation (collectively, the “Company”).
We
design, develop, manufacture, and sell advanced rechargeable lithium-ion energy storage solutions for lift trucks, airport ground
support equipment (“GSE”) and other industrial motive applications. Our “LiFT” battery packs, including
our proprietary battery management system (“BMS”), provide our customers with a better performing, cheaper 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 (“Class 3 Walkie”)
LiFT pack product line in 2016 and expect to finalize UL listing during calendar 2020 for our other product lines, which include
Class 1 Counterbalance/Sit down/Ride-on (“Class 1 Ride-on”) LiFT packs, Class 2 Narrow Aisle LiFT packs, and Class
3 End Rider LiFT packs. 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. Our Class 3 Walkie LiFT packs have been approved
for use by leading industrial motive manufacturers, including Toyota Material Handling USA, Inc., Crown Equipment Corporation,
and Raymond Corporation.
As
used herein, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Flux,” and “Company” mean
Flux Power Holdings, Inc., unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts herein are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated
Reverse
Stock Split
The Company effected a
1-for-10 reverse split of its 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 as of June 30, 2019. 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 the Company’s stock remained unchanged at $0.001. In addition, by reducing
the number of the Company’s outstanding shares, the Company’s loss per share in all periods presented was increased
by a factor of ten.
As
the par value per share of the Company’s common stock remained unchanged at $0.001 per share, a total of $46,000 was reclassified
from common stock to additional paid-in capital. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, proportionate adjustments have been
made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of all outstanding options,
warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities entitling the holders to purchase, exchange for, or convert into, shares of common
stock. All references to shares of common stock and per share data for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split on a retroactive basis.
NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A
summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies which have been consistently applied in the preparation of the
accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include Flux Power Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Flux Power, Inc. after elimination
of all intercompany accounts and transactions.
F- 6
Reclassifications
Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation for comparative purposes.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues, and expenses, as well as certain financial statement disclosures. Significant estimates include valuation allowances
relating to inventory and deferred tax assets. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation
of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
As
of June 30, 2020, cash totaled approximately $726,000 and consists of funds held in a non-interest bearing bank deposit account.
The Company considers all liquid short-term investments with maturities of less than three months when acquired to be cash equivalents.
The Company had no cash equivalents at June 30, 2020 and 2019.
Fair
Values of Financial Instruments
The
carrying amount of our cash, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and accrued liabilities approximates their estimated fair
values due to the short-term maturities of those financial instruments. The carrying amount of the line of credit agreement approximates
its fair values as interest approximates current market interest rates for similar instruments. Management has concluded that
it is not practical to determine the estimated fair value of amounts due to related parties because the transactions cannot be
assumed to have been consummated at arm’s length, the terms are not deemed to be market terms, there are no quoted values
available for these instruments, and an independent valuation would not be practical due to the lack of data regarding similar
instruments, if any, and the associated potential costs.
The
Company does not have any other assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. The Company has not experienced collection issues related to its
accounts receivable and has not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
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 to inventory reserve related to obsolete and slow moving inventory in the amount
of approximately $317,000 during the year ended June 30, 2020.
Property,
Plant and Equipment
Property,
plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, of the related assets ranging from three to ten years, or, in the case of
leasehold improvements, over the lesser of the useful life of the related asset or the lease term.
F- 7
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.
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 for the Company’s three major customers represents the point in
time that they receive delivery of the products, and for all other customers represents the point in time that the Company
ships 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.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets
In
accordance with authoritative guidance for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, if indicators of impairment exist,
the Company assesses the recoverability of the affected long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets
can be recovered through the undiscounted future operating cash flows.
If
impairment is indicated, the Company measures the amount of such impairment by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the
present value of the expected future cash flows associated with the use of the asset. The Company believes that no impairment
indicators were present, and accordingly no impairment losses were recognized during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and
2019.
Research
and Development
The
Company is actively engaged in new product development efforts. Research and development cost relating to possible future products
are expensed as incurred.
F- 8
Income
Taxes
Pursuant
to FASB ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes, deferred tax assets or liabilities are recorded to reflect the future tax consequences
of temporary differences between the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities and their tax basis at each year-end.
These amounts are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect enacted changes in tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary
differences reverse. The Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where the Company
is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. As a result, no unrecognized tax
benefits have been identified as of June 30, 2020 or June 30, 2019, and accordingly, no additional tax liabilities have been recorded.
The
Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of
assets and liabilities and on operating loss carry forwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences
are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred
tax asset will not be realized.
Net
Loss Per Common Share
The
Company calculates basic loss per common share by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the periods. Diluted loss per common share includes the impact from all dilutive potential common shares relating to outstanding
convertible securities.
For
the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 5,118,713 and 4,364,271,
respectively. The Company incurred a net loss for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and therefore, basic and diluted loss
per share for each fiscal year are the same because the inclusion of potential common equivalent shares were excluded from diluted
weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period, as the inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive. The total
potentially dilutive common shares outstanding at June 30, 2020 and 2019, excluded from diluted weighted-average common shares
outstanding, which include common shares underlying outstanding convertible debt, stock options and warrants, were 2,210,216
and 588,504, respectively.
New
Accounting Standards
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 Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements
to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. 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.
Management
has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of the Company’s consolidated financial
statements, and believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated
financial statements.

NOTE
7 – Paycheck Protection Program Loan
On May 1, 2020, the Company
applied for and received a loan from the Bank of America, NA (the “BOA”) in the aggregate principal amount of approximately
$1,297,000 (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 Company received the funds on or around May 4, 2020. The PPP Note may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity
with no prepayment penalties. Proceeds from the PPP Loan are available to the Company 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,
subject to specific limitations, 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. The Company 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 the Company
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 June 30, 2020, the outstanding balance
of the PPP Loan was approximately $1,297,000.
NOTE
8 - RELATED PARTY DEBT AGREEMENTS
Esenjay
Loan
On
March 9, 2020, the Company and Esenjay entered into a certain convertible promissory note (“Original Esenjay Note”)
pursuant to which Esenjay provided the Company with a loan in the principal amount of $750,000 (the “Esenjay Loan”).
The Original Esenjay Note bears an interest rate of 15% per annum and was originally due on the earlier of: (i) June 30, 2020,
unless extended pursuant to the terms thereunder, or (ii) an occurrence of an event of default. The outstanding obligations under
the Original Esenjay Note are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at the cash price per share of the equity
securities paid by purchasers in the offering at any time upon consummation of an offering of equity securities of at least $1,000,000
before the maturity date.
On
June 2, 2020, the Original Esenjay Note was amended and restated to (i) extend the maturity date from June 30, 2020 to September
30, 2020, and (ii) to increase the principal amount outstanding under the Original Esenjay Note from $750,000 to $1,400,000 (the
“Esenjay Note”).
On
June 26, 2020, Esenjay assigned $500,000 of the Esenjay Note to two (2) accredited investors. On June 30, 2020, in connection
with the completion of the Company’s initial closing of its 2020 Private Placement offering, the principal amount
outstanding under the Esenjay Note became convertible into shares of common stock at $4.00 per share, which was the cash price
per share of the Offering (“Esenjay Initial Conversion”). The two note holders converted their notes into shares of
common stock at $4.00 per share. As June 30, 2020, the outstanding principal balance of the Esenjay Loan was $900,000.
Cleveland
Loan
On
July 3, 2019, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Cleveland, pursuant to which Cleveland agreed to loan the Company
$1,000,000 (the “Cleveland Loan”). In connection with the Cleveland Loan, on July 3, 2019, the Company issued Cleveland
an unsecured short-term promissory note in the amount of $1,000,000 (the “Unsecured Promissory Note”). The Unsecured
Promissory Note bears an interest rate of 15.0% per annum and was originally due on September 1, 2019, unless repaid earlier from
a percentage of proceeds from certain identified accounts receivable. In connection with the Cleveland Loan, the Company issued
Cleveland a three-year warrant (the “Cleveland Warrant”) to purchase the Company’s common stock in a number
equal to 0.5% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to the total number of shares of common
stock to be sold in a contemplated public offering and with an exercise price equal to the per share public offering price.
F- 11
On
September 1, 2019, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Unsecured Promissory Note pursuant to which the maturity
date of the Unsecured Promissory Note was modified from September 1, 2019 to December 1, 2019 (the “First Amendment”).
In connection with the First Amendment, the Company replaced the Cleveland Warrant with the Amended and Restated Warrant Certificate
(the “Amended Warrant”). The Amended Warrant increased 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. In addition, the exercise price was also changed to equal the per share price of common stock sold in such offering.
The fair value of such warrants was not significant. (See Note 9)
On
December 3, 2019, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Unsecured Promissory Note pursuant to which the maturity
date was modified from December 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 and waived any Event of Default (as defined in the Unsecured Promissory
Note) arising from the failure of the Company to make the requirement payment due on December 1, 2019 under the First Amendment
(the “Second Amendment”). On December 31, 2019, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the Unsecured Promissory
Note pursuant to which the maturity date was modified from December 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020, and all accrued and unpaid interest
as of December 31, 2019 was capitalized to the principal amount (the Third Amendment). On March 31, 2020, the Company entered
into the Fourth Amendment to the Unsecured Promissory Note pursuant to which the maturity date was modified from March 31, 2020
to April 30, 2020, and all accrued and unpaid interest as of March 31, 2020 was capitalized to the principal amount (the Fourth
Amendment). On April 30, 2020 the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Unsecured Promissory Note pursuant to which
extended the maturity date from April 30, 2020 to May 31, 2020, and capitalized all accrued and unpaid interest as of April 30,
2020 to the principal amount (the Fifth Amendment). On May 29, 2020, the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment to the Unsecured
Promissory Note pursuant to which extended the maturity date from May 31, 2020 to June 30, 2020, and capitalized all accrued and
unpaid interest as of May 31, 2020 to the principal amount (the Sixth Amendment). On June 30, 2020, the Company entered into the
Seventh Amendment to the Unsecured Promissory Note which extended the maturity date from June 30, 2020 to July 31, 2020, and capitalized
all accrued and unpaid interest as of June 30, 2020 to the principal amount (the Seventh Amendment). The outstanding principal
balance of the Cleveland Loan as of June 30, 2020 was approximately $1,157,000 . On August
19, 2020, the Company paid Cleveland the entire remaining principal balance, together with all accrued interest payable
due under the Cleveland Loan. (See Note 14)
Credit
Facility
On
March 22, 2018, Flux Power entered into a credit facility agreement with Esenjay with a maximum borrowing amount of $5,000,000.
Proceeds from the credit facility were to be used to purchase inventory and related operational expenses and accrue interest at
a rate of 15% per annum (the “Original Agreement”). The outstanding balance of the Original Agreement and all accrued
interest was due and payable on March 31, 2019.
On
March 28, 2019, Flux Power entered into an amended and restated credit facility agreement (“Amended and Restated Credit
Facility Agreement”) with Esenjay and Cleveland (Cleveland and Esenjay, together with additional parties that may join as
a lender, the Lenders) to amend and restate the terms of the Original Agreement in its entirety. To secure the obligations under
the Notes, Flux Power entered into an Amended and Restated Security Agreement dated March 28, 2019 with the Lenders (as amended,
the “Amended Security Agreement”). The Amended Security Agreement amends and restates the Guaranty and Security Agreement
dated March 22, 2018 by and between Esenjay and the Company, and added Cleveland and other Lenders as additional secured parties
to the Amended Security Agreement and appointing Esenjay as collateral agent.
The
Original Agreement was amended, among other things, to (i) increase the maximum principal amount available under line of credit
from $5,000,000 to $7,000,000 (“LOC”), (ii) add Cleveland as additional lender to the LOC pursuant to which each lender
has a right to advance a pro rata amount of the principal amount available under the LOC, (iii) extend the maturity date from
March 31, 2019 to December 31, 2019, and (iv) to provide for additional parties to become a “Lender” under the Amended
and Restated Credit Facility Agreement. In connection with the LOC, on March 28, 2019 the Company issued a secured promissory
note to Cleveland (the “Cleveland Note”), and an amended and restated secured promissory note to Esenjay which amended
and superseded the secured promissory note dated March 22, 2018 (“Esenjay Note” and together with the Cleveland Note
and other secured promissory notes to Lenders (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued for the principal amount of $7,000,000
or such lesser principal amount advanced by the respective Lender under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement. The
Notes bear an interest of fifteen percent (15%) per annum and a maturity date of December 31, 2019. On October 10, 2019, the Company
entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement and pursuant to which the Company further amended its line
of credit and Notes to increase the maximum principal amount available under line of credit from $7,000,000 to $10,000,000. On
December 31, 2019, the Company further amended the Notes to (i) increase the maximum principal amount available under line of
credit from $10,000,000 to $12,000,000, (ii) capitalize all accrued and unpaid interest to the principal amount as of December
31, 2019, and (iii) extend the maturity date from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020. In addition, on December 31, 2019, the Company
granted a right to each of the Lenders to convert their respective Note under the LOC into shares of the Company’s common
stock at any time after the close of the next financing of the Company of at least $1,000,000 on or after December 31, 2019, and
on or before the maturity date.
F- 12
On
June 30, 2020, Flux Power and the Lenders executed the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note which
(i) extended the maturity date of the Secured Notes from June 30, 2020 to December 31, 2020, and (ii) capitalized all accrued
and unpaid interest to the principal amount as of June 30, 2020 (the Third Amendment and with the Amended Notes, the “Notes”).
In addition, in connection with our private placement of up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 to accredited
investors for an aggregate amount of up to approximately $8,000,000, or $4.00 per share of Common Stock (the “Offering”),
we completed an initial closing of the Offering on June 30, 2020 pursuant to which an aggregate of 275,000 shares were issued
for $1,100,000 of shares of common stock for cash. As a result of the initial closing of the Offering, each of the Lenders has
a right to convert the principal and accrued interest outstanding under their respective Notes into shares of common stock at
$4.00 per share, which was the price per share of common stock sold under the Offering. At the option of the lenders, on June
30, 2020, an aggregate of approximately $7,383,000 in principal and accrued interest outstanding under the LOC was converted into
1,845,830 shares of common stock, which consisted of (a) partial conversion of Principal plus interest under the Esenjay LOC Note
in the amount of $4,400,000 into 1,100,000 shares of common stock at $4.00 per share, and (b) conversion of approximately $2,983,000
of the secured promissory notes issued in connection with the LOC, principal plus accrued interest, by other lenders, including
certain assignees of the Esenjay LOC Note, into 745,830 shares of common stock. The outstanding principal balance as of June 30,
2020 was approximately $5,290,000 of which Esenjay has $984,000 outstanding, Cleveland has $1,720,000 outstanding, and other lenders
have an aggregate of $2,586,000 outstanding. As of June 30, 2020, there was approximately $6,710,000 available for draw under
the LOC.

Private Placement
In
December 2018, our Board of Directors approved the private placement of up to 454,546 shares of common stock to select accredited
investors for a total amount of $5,000,000, or $11.00 per share of common stock with the right of the Board to increase the offering
amount to $7,000,000 (the “Offering”). On December 26, 2018, the Company completed an initial closing of the Offering,
pursuant to which it sold an aggregate of 335,910 shares of common stock, at $11.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price
of approximately $3,695,000 in cash. A portion of the proceeds from the Offering was used to repay in full approximately $2.6
million in borrowings and accrued interest under two short-term credit facilities provided by Cleveland Capital, L.P. and a stockholder.
On
January 29, 2019, the Company conducted its final closing (the “Final Closing”) to its round of private placement
to accredited investors that initially closed on December 26, 2018 (“Initial Closing”). Following the Initial Closing
to the Final Closing, the Company sold an additional 63,347 shares of its Common Stock (“Shares”), at $11.00 per share,
for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $697,000 to two accredited investors. The shares offered and sold in the Offering
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. The shares were offered and sold to the accredited investors in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Rule
506(c) of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act.
In the aggregate, the
Company issued 399,257 shares of its common stock for an aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $4,392,000 during
Fiscal 2019. The Shares were issued on identical terms to those previously reported for the Initial Closing on the Company’s
Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 28, 2018. The Company relied on the
exemption from registration pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended.

July 3, 2019, we issued Cleveland a three-year warrant (the Cleveland Warrant) to purchase the Company’s 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

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

Stock-based
compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, includes
compensation expense for stock-based options and awards granted based on the grant date fair value. For options and awards granted,
expenses are amortized under the straight-line method over the expected vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense recognized
in the consolidated statements of operations has been reduced for estimated forfeitures of options that are subject to vesting.
Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from
those estimates.
At
June 30, 2020, the aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable options was approximately $608,000.
We
allocated stock-based compensation expense included in the consolidated statements of operations for employee option grants and
non-employee option grants as follows:

NOTE
10 - INCOME TAXES
Pursuant
to the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), deferred income taxes reflect the net effect
of (a) temporary difference between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts used for
income tax reporting purposes, and (b) net operating loss carryforwards. No net provision for refundable Federal income taxes
has been made in the accompanying statement of operations because no recoverable taxes were paid previously. Significant components
of the Company’s net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2020 and 2019 are shown below. A valuation allowance of approximately
$15,174,000 and $11,636,000 has been established to offset the net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively,
due to uncertainties surrounding the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income to realize these assets.
The
Company is subject to taxation in the United States and California. The Company’s tax years for 2010 and forward are subject
to examination by the United States and California tax authorities due to the carry forward of unutilized net operating losses
and research and development credits (if any).
F- 16
The
Company has incurred losses since inception, so no current income tax provision or benefit has been recorded. Significant components
of the Company’s net deferred tax assets are shown in the table below.

At
June 30, 2020, the Company had unused net operating loss carryovers of approximately $45,675,000 and $46,873,000 that are
available to offset future federal and state taxable income, respectively. These operating losses begin to expire in 2030.
The
provision for income taxes on earnings subject to income taxes differs from the statutory federal rate at June 30, 2020 and 2019,
due to the following:

Internal
Revenue Code Sections 382 limits the use of our net operating loss carryforwards if there has been a cumulative change in ownership
of more than 50% within a three-year period. The Company has not yet completed a Section 382 net operating loss analysis. In the
event that such analysis determines there is a limitation on the use on net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable
income, the recorded deferred tax asset relating to such net operating loss carryforwards will be reduced. However, as the Company
has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets, there is no impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements as of June 30, 2020 and 2019.
Under
ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that
is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not
be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, ASC 740 provides guidance on de-recognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
In
accordance with ASC 740, there are no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2020 or June 30, 2019.
