REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are contained
principally in the section captioned “Description of Business,” “Risk Factors,” and
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” These statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the factors described in the
section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 filed
with the SEC on September 28, 2020. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as
“anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,”
“intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,”
“projects,” “should,” “would,” and similar expressions intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based
on assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties. You should read these factors and the other cautionary statements made
in this report and in the documents we incorporate by reference into this report as being applicable to all related
forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this report or the documents we incorporate by reference into this report.
If one or more of these factors materialize, or if any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results,
performance or achievements may vary materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by
these forward-looking statements.
Given
these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include,
among other things, statements relating to:
●
our
ability to secure sufficient funding to support our current and proposed operations, which among other things could be more difficult
in light of the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on investor sentiment and investing ability;
●
our
anticipated growth strategies and our ability to manage the expansion of our business operations effectively;
●
our
ability to maintain or increase our market share in the competitive markets in which we do business;
●
our
ability to grow net revenue and increase our gross profit margin;
●
our
ability to keep up with rapidly changing technologies and evolving industry standards, including our ability to achieve technological
advances;
●
our
dependence on the growth in demand for our products;
●
our
ability to compete with larger companies with far greater resources than we have;
●
our
continued ability to obtain raw materials and other supplies for our products at competitive prices and on a timely basis, particularly
in light of the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our suppliers and supply chain;
●
our ability to shift to new suppliers and incorporate
new components in a manner that is not disruptive to our business;
●
our ability to obtain and maintain UL Listings
and OEM approvals for our energy storage solutions;
●
our
ability to diversify our product offerings and capture new market opportunities;
●
our
ability to source our needs for skilled labor, machinery, parts, and raw materials economically;
●
our
ability to retain key members of our senior management;
●
our
ability to continue to operate safely and effectively during the COVID-19 pandemic; and
●
our
dependence on our major customers.
Also,
forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. You should read this report and
the documents that we reference, and file as exhibits to this report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results
may be materially different from what we expect. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements
publicly, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements, even
if new information becomes available in the future.
Use
of Certain Defined Terms
Except
where the context otherwise requires and for the purposes of this report only:
●
the
“Company,” “Flux,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the combined business
of Flux Power Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Flux Power, Inc., a California corporation (“Flux

NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH
31, 2021
(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
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.
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.
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 is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares and dilutive shares,
including shares issuable for convertible debt, options, warrants and other dilutive securities.
8
The
Company incurred a net loss for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, 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

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 had a two-year term and bears
interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments were deferred for six months after the date of disbursement.
The Company received the funds on May 4, 2020. On February 9, 2021, the Company was notified that the Small Business Administration
(“SBA”) had forgiven repayment of the entire PPP Loan of approximately $1,297,000 in principal, together with all
accrued interest of approximately $10,000. The Company has recorded the entire amount of the forgiven loan totaling approximately
$1,307,000 as other income in its statement of operations during the current fiscal quarter. As of March 31, 2021, the outstanding
balance of the PPP Loan was $0.
The
SBA reserves the right to audit any PPP loan, regardless of size. These audits may occur after forgiveness has been granted. In accordance
with the CARES Act, all borrowers are required to maintain their PPP loan documentation for six years after the PPP loan was forgiven
or repaid in full and to provide that documentation to the SBA upon request.
Revolving
Line of Credit
On
November 9, 2020, the Company entered into a certain Loan and Security Agreement (“Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”).
The Agreement provides the Company with a senior secured revolving credit facility for up to $4.0 million available on a revolving basis
(“Credit Facility”) which matures on November 8, 2021. Outstanding principal under the Credit Facility accrues interest at
a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) prime rate plus two and a half percent (2.50%) or (ii) five and three-quarters
percent (5.75%). Interest is due monthly on the last day of the month. In the event of default, the amounts due under the Agreement will
bear interest at a rate per annum equal to five percent (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 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 property) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and the Intellectual Property Security Agreement dated as of November 9,
2020. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had not utilized the line of credit.

compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31,
2021 and 2020, includes compensation expense for stock-based options and awards granted, including RSUs, 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations has been reduced for estimated forfeitures of
options and awards 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.

ITEM
2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The
following discussion provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company’s
results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed 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”), seek to provide a better performing, higher value, and more environmentally
friendly energy storage alternatives as compared with traditional lead acid and propane-based solutions. We believe that increasing demand
for lithium-ion battery packs in the material handling sector will increase the global market opportunity for lithium-ion energy storage
and provide an opportunity for us to grow our business.
Our
long-term strategy is to meet the growing demand for lithium-ion storage solutions, to be a supplier of choice, to target large fleets
as a priority and to build scale to drive efficiencies and improve profit margins. The first step includes investing in research and
development (R&D) to expand our product mix to include first-in-class products. We recently filed three new patents on advanced technology
related to our 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.
To
achieve our objective of becoming a supplier of choice, we intend to continue expanding our infrastructure to support to Fortune 500
fleets and their varied demands. We intend to expand our product lines to address their needs, add additional OEM relationships, increase
production capacity, and build 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 OEMs and solidifying our brand reputation of trust and reliability. Our goal
is to improve our product offering and service levels in order to earn the confidence of the larger fleets.
We
believe energy storage solutions for the material handing sector is a multi-billion dollar addressable market and provides
companies, like ours, with an opportunity to build scale while improving profitability. To meet our objectives for
“building scale,” we intend to focus on expanding our supply chain, growing our existing customer relationships
and identifying new partnerships and/or acquisitions that provide synergy with our strengths. As part of our focus
on securing our supply chain, we have identified our lead supplier for cells that are used in our battery packs. However,
introducing new cells in certain packs will require us to seek UL and/or OEM approval for those packs which may lead to delays in our ability to sell our packs and impact our operating
results. Improving our gross profit margin while growing our business remains a high priority
for us. We aim to continue to improve our gross profit margin through internal initiatives to reduce production costs,
through volume purchases, design improvements, supplier sourcing and general economies of scale.
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 conversion of outstanding notes into equity. In August 2020, we closed an
underwritten public offering of our common stock to raise gross proceeds of approximately $12.4 million and 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. In connection with the shelf registration statement, in
December 2020, we entered into a Sales Agreement enabling us to sell shares of our common stock in “At-The-Market”
offerings from time to time. As of May 10, 2021, we have issued 579,181 shares of our common stock at an average price of $14.09
per share for gross proceeds of approximately $8.2 million prior to deducting commissions and offering expenses. In November 2020,
we implemented a new revolving line of credit for up to $4 million with Silicon Valley Bank which matures on November 8,
2021. In addition, 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.
There are certain challenges in the supply chain in general due to this ongoing pandemic that may affect our suppliers to provide
and deliver on time adequate amount of the raw material needed for our planned production or at prices acceptable to us. Should
we be unable to obtain such supplies on a timely basis, our ability to produce and sell our energy storage solutions will be harmed.
Although as of May 10, 2021, we have not observed any material impacts to our supply of components, the situation is fluid
and we may be materially and adversely affected by any negative impacts resulting from COVID-19.
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
As
of January 1, 2021, there was approximately $2,403,000 of principal outstanding under the LOC. In January and March 2021, certain lenders
holding an aggregate of approximately $2,632,000 in principal and accrued interest outstanding under the LOC elected to convert their
notes into an aggregate of 658,103 shares of common stock of which approximately $1,045,000 was held by Esenjay and was converted to
261,133 shares of common stock.
After
giving effect to the issuance of such shares, as of May 10, 2021, the outstanding balance under the LOC was $0, and the entire line of
credit of $12.0 million was available for future draws.
PPP
Loan Forgiveness
On
February 9, 2021, the Company was notified that SBA had forgiven repayment of the entire PPP Loan of approximately $1,297,000
in principal, together with all accrued interest of approximately $10,000. The Company has recorded the entire amount of the forgiven
loan totaling approximately $1,307,000 as other income in its statement of operations during the current fiscal quarter.
As of March 31, 2021, the outstanding balance of the PPP Loan was $0.

Revenues
Revenues
for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, increased by $1,913,000 or 38% to $6,964,000, compared to $5,051,000 for the quarter ended March
31, 2020. This increase in revenue was directly attributable to the increase in battery pack sales across several different series of
batteries, notably M36 battery, and X Series. The increase in revenues included sales growth of existing customers as well as the addition
of new customers.

March 31, 2020. The 20% increase in cost of sales is due to 38% increase in revenues, partially offset by cost reductions note below.
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was 76% compared to 87% for the quarter ended March 31,
2020. The principal drivers of cost reductions as a percentage of revenues were simplified component designs, reduced material costs,
and lower personnel related costs.
21
Gross
Profit
Gross
profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 increased by $1,028,000 or 158%, to $1,677,000 compared to $649,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2020. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to 24% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 as compared to 13% for
the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Improvement in the gross profit margin was primarily attributable to higher sales to both new and existing

expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 decreased by $439,000 or 87% to $64,000 compared to $503,000 for the quarter ended March
31, 2020. Interest expense has consisted primarily of interest expense related to our outstanding lines of credit and convertible promissory
note. Interest expense decreased due to a lower average outstanding debt balance during the current quarter as certain note holders elected
to convert their notes to equity.
Other
Income
Other
income for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 represents the forgiven repayment of the entire PPP Loan of approximately $1,297,000 in principal,
together with all accrued interest of approximately $10,000 that SBA had forgiven on February 9, 2021.
Net
Loss
Net
loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 decreased by $2,240,000 or 56%, to $1,725,000 as compared to $3,965,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to increased gross profit, other income due to PPP loan forgiveness, and decreased
interest expense, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.

months ended March 31, 2020. The 46% increase in cost of sales is due to 69% increase in revenues, partially offset by cost reductions
note below. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 was 77%, a decrease of 13% compared to
90% for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. The principal drivers of cost reductions as a percentage of revenues were simplified component
designs, reduced material costs, reduced warranty related expenses, and lower personnel related costs.
Gross
Profit
Gross
profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 increased by $2,948,000 or 270%, to $4,039,000 compared to $1,091,000 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2020. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to 23% for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 as compared
to 10% for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. Improvement in the gross profit margin was primarily attributable to higher sales to
both new and existing customers, and cost of sales efficiencies noted above.

and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 increased by $2,102,000 or 30%, to $9,177,000 compared to $7,075,000
for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in personnel expenses related to additional
new hires as well as sales commission, insurance expenses including professional liability and directors and officers insurance, board
compensation, accounting and legal expenses, and facility related expenses, partially offset by decreases in stock-based compensation,
marketing expenses and travel costs.
Research

and development expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 increased by $736,000 or 19%, to $4,624,000 compared to $3,888,000
for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. Such expenses consisted primarily of materials, supplies, salaries and personnel related expenses,
product testing, consulting, and other expenses associated with product development. The increase in expenses was primarily due to additional
research expenses related to new product development including expenses related to UL certifications, staff/labor related expenses.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 decreased by $596,000 or 49% to $618,000 compared to $1,214,000 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2020. 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 nine months ended March 31, 2021 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 a lower average outstanding debt balance during the current nine-month period as certain note holders elected to convert their
notes to equity, partially offset by $174,000 of debt discount amortization noted above.
Other
Income
Other
income for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 represents the forgiven repayment of the entire PPP Loan of approximately $1,297,000

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Overview
As
of March 31, 2021, we had a cash balance of $2,432,000 and an accumulated deficit of $62,485,000. 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
revolving line of credit for up to $4.0 million with Silicon Valley Bank, together with potential sales of our common stock under the
Sales Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC providing for at-the-market sales of stock under the ATM Offering will be sufficient
to meet our anticipated capital resources to fund planned operations for the next twelve months. See “Future Liquidity Needs”
below.

other current assets, and decreases in customer deposits, drawdowns from factoring facility, accrued interest, 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.

as well as increases in accounts payable, drawdowns from factoring facility, and customer deposits, partially offset by increases in

Net
cash used in investing activities was $145,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and consisted primarily of the purchase of leasehold

Financing
Activities
Net
cash provided by financing activities was $16,398,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, which primarily consisted of $19,006,000
in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock in a public offering, a private placement, and at-the-market sales of common
stock under our ATM Offering which were partially offset by $2,580,000 in payments of outstanding related party borrowings,

25
Net
cash provided by financing activities was $5,893,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, which primarily consisted of borrowings
under the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement and short-term loans.
As
of May 10, 2021, approximately $1.8 million remained available under our $10 million ATM Offering for future sales of our common stock
for financing activities.
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 $4.0 million and potential at-the-market sales of our common stock
under our ATM Offering will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital resources to fund planned operations for the next twelve months.
As of May 10, 2021, there is $12.0 million 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. In the event the Company required to obtain additional funds, there is
no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise or obtain the additional funds or that the funds will be available on favorable terms
to the Company.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
None.
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
3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The
Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required
under this item.
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 March 31, 2021.
26
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 nine months ended March 31, 2021 that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART
II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From
time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However,
litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may
harm our business. To the best knowledge of management, there are no material legal proceedings pending against the Company.
ITEM
1A - RISK FACTORS
An
investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks set forth in the section captioned
“Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, filed with the SEC on September
28, 2020, before making an investment decision. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations
could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You
should read the section captioned “Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” above for a discussion of what types
of statements are forward-looking statements, as well as the significance of such statements in the context of this report.
