●
our
ability to compete with larger companies with far greater resources than we have;

TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER

(Unaudited)
NOTE
1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim reports of companies filing as a smaller reporting company. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2020. In the opinion of
management, the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments necessary in order to
make the financial statements not misleading. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period. Certain notes to the financial statements that would
substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year as reported
in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K have been omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at
June 30, 2020 has been derived from the audited balance sheet at June 30, 2020 contained in such Form 10-K.
Nature
of Business
Flux
Power Holdings, Inc. (“Flux”) was incorporated in 1998 in the State of Nevada. On June 14, 2012, Flux entered into
a reverse merger and changed its name to Flux Power Holdings, Inc. (“Flux”). Flux’s operations are conducted
through its wholly owned subsidiary, Flux Power, Inc. (“Flux Power”), a California corporation (collectively, the
“Company”).
The
Company designs, develops, manufactures, and sells advanced rechargeable lithium-ion energy storage solutions for lift trucks,
airport ground support equipment (“GSE”), stationary energy storage, and other industrial and commercial applications.
The Company’s “LiFT” battery packs, including its proprietary battery management system (“BMS”),
provide its customers with a better performing, higher value, and more environmentally friendly alternative as compared to traditional
lead acid and propane-based solutions.
The
Company has received Underwriters Laboratory (“UL”) Listing on its lithium-ion packs for most Class 1,2, and 3 forklifts.
The Company believes that a UL Listing demonstrates the safety, reliability and durability of its products and gives it an important
competitive advantage over other lithium-ion energy suppliers. Additionally, the Company’s LiFT packs have been approved
for use by leading industrial motive manufacturers, including Toyota Material Handling USA, Inc., Crown Equipment Corporation,
Raymond Corporation, Clark Material Handling and others.
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.
NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,”
in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. There have been no material changes
in these policies or their application.
9
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.
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 three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 11,633,793
and 5,106,781, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares
outstanding were 10,647,181 and 5,105,061, respectively. The Company incurred a net loss for the three and six months ended December
31, 2020 and 2019, and therefore, basic and diluted loss per share for the periods are the same because 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, excluded from
diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding, which include common shares underlying outstanding convertible debt, stock
options, RSUs, and warrants, were 1,562,019 and 568,641, respectively.
NOTE
3 – NOTES PAYABLE
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, in compliance with the CARES Act, were used to fund designated expenses,
including certain payroll costs, group health care benefits and other permitted expenses. 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 has used the entire PPP Loan amount for designated qualifying expenses and accordingly,
in January 2021 has submitted an application to the lender for the PPP Loan forgiveness in accordance with the terms of the PPP.
The loan forgives application is currently being reviewed by the Small Business Administration, however, 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

(5.0%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable to such amounts. The Company paid a non-refundable commitment fee of $15,000
upon execution of the Loan Agreement. In addition, the Company is required to pay a quarterly unused facility fee equal to one-quarter
of one percent (0.25%) per annum of the average daily unused portion of the commitments under the Credit Facility, depending upon
availability of borrowings under the Credit Facility. The loans and other obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility
are secured by substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company (including, without limitation, intellectual

consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto and Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020.
Business
Overview
We
design, develop, manufacture, and sell advanced lithium-ion energy storage solutions for lift trucks, airport
ground support equipment (GSE), stationary energy storage, and other industrial and commercial applications. Our
“LiFT Pack” battery packs, including our proprietary battery management system (“BMS”),
provide our customers with a better performing, higher value, and more environmentally friendly alternative as
compared to traditional lead acid and propane-based solutions. We believe that the increasing demand for lithium-ion battery
packs in the material handling sector continues to drive our current revenue growth.
Our
long-term strategy is to meet the rapidly growing demand for lithium-ion storage solutions and to be the supplier of choice, targeting
large fleets as a priority. We intend to reach this goal by investing in research and development to expand our product mix, and
by expanding our sales and marketing efforts, improving our customer support efforts and continuing our efforts to improve
production efficiencies. Our research and development efforts center on providing better technology than our competition. We recently filed three new patents on advanced technology related to lithium-ion battery packs.
The technology behind these pending patents are designed to:
●
increase
battery life by optimizing the charging cycle,
●
give
users a better understanding of the health of their battery in use, and
●
apply
artificial intelligence (“AI”) to predictively balance the cells for optimal performance.
We
currently focus on the material handling sector and “natural product extensions” including stationary power and airport
ground support equipment. The material handing sector is a multi-billion dollar addressable market and provides opportunity to
build scale to achieve product and service levels to win and support large fleets. Natural product extensions including solar
energy storage provide further growth opportunities. We continue to expand our supply chain and customer partnerships and seek
further partnerships and/or acquisitions that provide synergy to meeting our growth and “building scale” objectives.
Our recent business growth reflects our expanded product line, additional OEM relationships and supply contracts,
production capacity increases, and an expanded nation-wide service footprint. Our strategy for sales growth places a high priority
on growing relationships with the national account sales forces of the equipment OEMs and solidifying our brand reputation of
trust and reliability.
Improvement
in our gross profit margin remains a high priority for us. Our
gross profit margin has been increasing due to internal initiatives to reduce production costs through volume purchases, design
improvements, and supplier sourcing.
To
achieve our objective of becoming the supplier of choice, we continue to expand our infrastructure to support sales to Fortune
500 fleets and to meet their demands, including timely deliveries and service to nation-wide locations and quality requirements.
Given current expectations, we anticipate that our revenue growth to exceed the corresponding increase in our infrastructure expenses
resulting to improved profitability going forward.
19
To
support our plans for growth, we have improved our financial strength and our access to capital. Our outstanding debt has
been reduced through a combination of debt service and the decision by holders of our notes to convert their notes to equity.
On August 18, 2020, we closed an underwritten public offering of our common stock at a public offering and issued 3,099,250 shares
of our common stock at $4.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $12.4 million, which included the full exercise of
the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase additional shares, prior to deducting underwriting discounts and commissions
and offering expenses. Concurrent with the announcement of our public offering, on August 14, 2020, our common stock commenced
trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “FLUX.” On October 16, 2020 we filed a shelf registration on
Form S-3 for $50 million to support capital raise for business growth. We recently put in place a new revolving line of credit
for up to $4 million with Silicon Valley Bank which matures on November 8, 2021. In connection with the shelf registration statement,
in December 2020, we entered into a Sales Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC enabling us to sell shares of our common
stock in “At-The-Market” offerings from time to time. We will continue to explore a variety of options to access the
capital needed to fund our operations.
Recent
Developments
COVID-19
Update
As
a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the state government, California, where our manufacturing facility is located—had issued
orders requiring businesses that do not conduct essential services to temporarily close their physical workplaces to employees
and customers. We were deemed an essential business and, as a result, were exempt from those state orders. In March 2020, we put
in place a number of protective measures in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
These
measures include the cancelling of all non-critical commercial air travel and all other travel, requesting that employees limit
non-essential personal travel, eliminating all but essential third-party access to our facilities, enhancing our facilities’
janitorial and sanitary procedures, encouraging employees to work from home to the extent their job function enables them to do
so, encouraging the use of virtual employee meetings, and providing staggered work hours and social distancing measures for those
employees associated with manufacturing and service operations.
We
cannot predict at this time the full extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business, results and financial condition, which
will depend on many factors. We are staying in close communication with our employees, customers, suppliers and partners, and
acting to mitigate the impact of this dynamic and evolving situation, but there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Although as of the date hereof, we have not observed any material impacts to our supply of components, but the situation is fluid.
Many
of our customers are essential businesses and remain in operation, reflecting the ongoing needs for material handling and contributing
to our growth trajectory. We have experience reduced demand from our customers for lithium-ion packs for airport ground support
equipment due to reduction in air travel of passengers and cargo.
Future
changes in applicable government orders or regulations, or changes in the interpretation of existing orders or regulations, could
result in further disruptions to our business that may materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of
operations.
Credit
Facility
On
November 6, 2020, there was a partial conversion of the debt underlying the secured promissory notes issued to six (6) note holders
under the LOC at a conversion price of $4.00 per share. At the option of the note holders, on November 6, 2020, an aggregate of
approximately $2,161,000 in principal and accrued interest outstanding under the LOC was converted into 540,347 shares of our
common stock.
In
January 2021, there was a partial conversion of the debt underlying the secured promissory notes issued to two (2) note holders
under the LOC at a conversion price of $4.00 per share. At the option of the note holders, on January 6, 2021 and January 8, 2021,
approximately $561,000 and $1,027,000, respectively, in principal and accrued interest outstanding was converted into 140,199
and 256,771 shares of our common stock, respectively. After giving effect to the issuance of such shares, as of February 7,
2021, there was approximately $884,000 outstanding under the LOC and approximately $11,116,000 available for future draws.
As of February 7, 2021, the Company had 12,592,908 shares of common stock outstanding.

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 have continued to expand in markets that offer natural applications for our products, including
airport ground support equipment and energy storage for solar EV charging stations. We feel that we are well positioned to address
these markets, which 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 primarily sells to large, multi-facility companies. However, we do sell certain battery packs
directly to other customers, including industrial equipment manufacturers and the ultimate end-user.
Revenues
for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, increased by $2,854,000 or 79% to $6,469,000, compared to $3,615,000 for the quarter
ended December 31, 2019. This substantial increase in revenue was directly attributable to the increase in battery pack sales
across several of the different series of batteries, notably M36 battery, G Series, X Series, and C Series. The increased sales
was a result of sales growth from existing customers as well as the addition of new customers.
Cost
of Sales
Cost
of sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, increased by $1,691,000, or 51%, to $4,980,000 compared to $3,289,000 for the
quarter ended December 31, 2019. The 51% increase in cost of sales on a revenue increase of 79% reflected direct cost reduction
and. Cost of sales as a percent of revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was 77% compared to 91% for the same period
last year. The principal drivers of cost reductions in the quarter were reduced material costs through volume
purchasing, reduced warranty related expenses, increased sales of higher margin packs, and lower personnel related costs.
21
Gross
Profit
Gross
profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 increased by $1,163,000 or 357%, to $1,489,000 compared to $326,000 for the quarter
ended December 31, 2019. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to 23% for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 as
compared to 9% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019. Improvement in the gross profit margin was primarily attributable to higher
sales to both new and existing customers, and to the cost of sales efficiencies noted above.
Selling
and Administrative Expenses
Selling
and administrative expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 increased by $906,000 or 41%, to $3,135,000 compared to $2,229,000
for the quarter ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in personnel related expenses, sales
commissions, professional liability and directors and officers insurance, shipping/freight expenses, board compensation, partially
offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation.
Research
and Development Expense
Research
and development expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 increased by $573,000 or 56%, to $1,594,000 compared to $1,021,000
for the quarter ended December 31, 2019. Such expenses consisted primarily of materials, supplies, salaries and personnel related
expenses, product testing, consulting, and other expenses associated with the product development. The increase
in expenses was primarily due to additional research expenses related to new product development including expenses related to
UL certification, partially offset by labor related efficiencies. We anticipate research and development expenses to remain an
ongoing portion of our expenses as we continue to introduce new and improved products.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 decreased by $259,000 or 68% to $124,000 compared to $383,000 for the quarter
ended December 31, 2019. Interest expense was primarily related to our outstanding lines of credit and convertible promissory
note. Interest expense decreased during the quarter ended December 31, 2020 due to a lower average outstanding debt balance as
certain noteholders elected to convert their notes to equity.
Net
Loss
Net
loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 increased nominally by $57,000 or 2%, to $3,364,000 as compared to $3,307,000 for
the quarter ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to increased operating expenses, offset by a decrease
in interest expense, and an increase in gross profit.

ended December 31, 2019. Interest expense has consisted primarily of interest expense related to our outstanding lines of credit
and convertible promissory note. Also included in interest expense during the six months ended December 31, 2020 was additional
interest expense of approximately $174,000 of amortization of debt discount related to Cleveland promissory note that was paid
off in August 2020. Interest expense decreased due to lower average outstanding debt balance during the current six-month period
as certain note holders elected to convert their notes to equity, partially offset by $174,000 of debt discount amortization noted
above.
Net
Loss
Net
loss for the six months ended December 31, 2020 increased by $227,000 or 3%, to $7,348,000 as compared to $7,121,000 for the six

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Overview
As
of December 31, 2020, we had a cash balance of $4,653,000 and an accumulated deficit of $60,760,000. We believe our existing cash,
combined with additional funding available under our existing LOC under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement
and under our new revolving line of credit for up to $4 million with Silicon Valley Bank, together with potential sales of our
common stock under the sale Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital resources
to fund planned operations for the next twelve months. See “Future Liquidity Needs” below.
Cash
Flows
Operating
Activities
Net
cash used in operating activities was $10,290,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2020, compared to net cash used in operating
activities of $3,987,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2019. The net cash used in operating activities for the six months
ended December 31, 2020 reflects the net loss of $7,348,000 for the period offset primarily by non-cash items including depreciation,
stock-based compensation, non-cash interest expense, non-cash facility lease expense, amortization of prepaid offering costs,
as well as, increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued interest, and deferred revenue, partially offset by increases
in accounts receivable, inventory, other current assets, and decreases in customer deposits, drawdowns from factoring facility,
and office lease payable. We continue our efforts to improve our working capital efficiency by improving vendor terms and inventory
levels and decreasing our receivables days outstanding.
Net
cash used in operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2019 reflects the net loss of $7,121,000 for the period
offset primarily by non-cash items including depreciation, stock-based compensation, non-cash interest expense, non-cash facility
lease expense, as well as increases in accounts payable, drawdowns from factoring facility, and customer deposits, partially offset
by increases in accounts receivable, inventory, and other current assets.
Investing
Activities
Net
cash used in investing activities was $417,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and consisted primarily of the costs
of internally developed software and purchase of furniture and equipment and warehouse equipment.
Net
cash used in investing activities was $122,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2019 and consisted primarily of the purchase
of leasehold improvements and warehouse equipment.
24
Financing
Activities
Net
cash provided by financing activities was $14,634,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2020, which primarily consisted of
$17,234,000 in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock in a public offering, a private placement, and under our At-The-Market
offering, which were partially offset by $2,580,000 in payments of outstanding related party borrowings, and $20,000 in payment
of financing lease payable.
Net
cash provided by financing activities was $4,143,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2019, which primarily consisted of
borrowings under the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement.
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. We
believe that our existing cash, combined with additional funding available to us under our existing Third Amended and Restated
Credit Facility Agreement, our existing revolving working capital line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank for $4,000,000 and potential
sales of our common stock under the “At-The-Market” offering will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital resources
to fund planned operations for the next twelve months. As of February 7, 2021, there is approximately $11,116,000 available
for future draws under the LOC. In addition, to support our operations and anticipated growth, we intend on continue our efforts
to secure additional capital from a variety of current and new sources including, but not limited to, a working capital line of
credit facility, and sales of our equity securities.
To
the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, our shareholders may experience additional
dilution and such financing may involve restrictive covenants.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements

Critical
Accounting Policies
The
unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
at the date of the unaudited financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. Information with respect to our critical accounting policies which we believe could have the most
significant effect on our reported results and require subjective or complex judgments by management is contained in Item 7, Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
June 30, 2020.

ITEM
4 - 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 subsidiaries, and was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly
during the period when this report was being prepared. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2020.
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.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the six months ended December 31,
2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
