●
our ability to obtain the necessary funds from our credit

●
our

disruptions posed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic;
●
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 source our needs for skilled labor, machinery, parts, and raw materials economically;

our
dependence on our major customers.
Also,

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

TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH

(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, 2021 filed with the SEC on September 27, 2021. 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, 2021 has been derived from the audited balance sheet at June 30, 2021 contained in such Form 10-K.
Nature
of Business
Flux
Power Holdings, Inc. (“Flux”) was incorporated in 2008 in the State of Nevada, and 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 a portfolio of advanced lithium-ion energy storage solutions for electrification of a range of
industrial commercial sectors which include material handling, airport ground support equipment (“GSE”), and stationary energy
storage. We believe our mobile and stationary energy storage solutions provide customers with a reliable, high performing, cost effective,
and more environmentally friendly alternative as compared to traditional lead acid and propane-based solutions. Our modular and scalable
design allows different configurations of lithium-ion battery packs to be paired with our proprietary wireless battery management system
to provide the level of energy storage required and “state of the art” real time monitoring of pack performance. We believe
that the increasing demand for lithium-ion battery packs and more environmentally friendly energy storage solutions in the material handling
sector should continue to drive our revenue growth.
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, 2021. 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 includes the impact from all dilutive potential common shares relating to outstanding convertible
securities.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 15,988,926 and 12,499,870 ,
respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 15,254,983
and 11,300,229 , respectively. The Company incurred a net loss for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and therefore,
basic and diluted loss per share for the periods were the same because potential common share equivalent would have been anti-dilutive.
The total potentially dilutive common shares outstanding at March 31, 2022 and 2021 that were excluded from diluted weighted-average
common shares outstanding represent shares underlying outstanding convertible debt, stock options, RSUs, and warrants, and totaled 2,070,652
and 897,646 , respectively.

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 was 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 bore 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 recorded the entire forgiven principal and accrued interest amount of approximately $ 1,307,000 as other income in

The
SBA reserves the right to audit any PPP loan, regardless of size. These audits may occur after forgiveness has been granted. In accordance

or repaid in full and to provide that documentation to the SBA upon request.

percent (5.75%). Interest payments are due on the last day of the month. Should an event of default occur, the interest rate per annum

a non-refundable commitment fee of $ 15,000 upon execution of the Loan Agreement and an additional non-refundable commitment fee of $22,500
in connection with the First Amendment. 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 $6.0 million commitment under the Revolving LOC, depending
upon availability of borrowings under the Revolving LOC . Amounts outstanding under the Revolving LOC are secured by substantially all
of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company (including, without limitation, intellectual property) pursuant to the terms of

Subordinated
Line of Credit
On
May 11, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with Cleveland Capital, L.P.,
a Delaware limited partnership (“Cleveland”), Herndon Plant Oakley, Ltd., (“HPO”), and other lenders
(together with Cleveland and HPO, the “Lenders”). The Credit Facility provides the Company with a short-term line of
credit (the “LOC”) not less than $ 3,000,000
and not more than $ 5,000,000 ,
the proceeds of which shall be used by the Company for working capital purposes. In connection with the LOC, the Company issued a
separate subordinated unsecured promissory note in favor of each respective Lender (each promissory note, a “Note”) for
each Lender’s commitment amount (each such commitment amount, a “Commitment Amount”). As of May 12, 2022, the
Lenders committed an aggregate of $ 4,000,000 .
Pursuant
to the terms of the Credit Facility, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, an “Advance”) up to such
Lender’s Commitment Amount to the Company from time to time, until December 31, 2022 (the “Due Date”). The Company
may, from time to time, prior to the Due Date, draw down, repay, and re-borrow on the Note, by giving notice to the Lenders of the amount
to be requested to be drawn down.
Each
Note bears an interest rate of 15.0 %
per annum on each Advance from and after the date of disbursement of such Advance and is payable on (i) the Due Date in cash or
shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at the sole election of the Company, unless such Due Date
extended pursuant to the Note, or (ii) on occurrence of an event of Default (as defined in the Note). The Due Date may be extended
(i) at the sole election of the Company for one (1) additional year period from the Due Date upon the payment of a commitment fee
equal to two percent ( 2 %)
of the Commitment Amount to the Lender within thirty (30) days prior to the original Due Date, or (ii) by the Lender in writing. In
addition, each Lender signed a Subordination Agreement by and between the Lenders and Silicon Valley Bank, a
California corporation (“SVB”), dated as of May 11, 2022 (the “Subordination Agreement”) for the purposes of
subordinating the right to payment under the Note to SVB’s indebtedness by the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Flux
Power, Inc., now outstanding or hereinafter incurred.
The
Credit Facility includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and the Lenders. The Company has also agreed
to pay the legal fees of Cleveland’s counsel in an amount up to $ 10,000 . In addition, each Note also provides that, upon the occurrence
of a Default, at the option of the Lender, the entire outstanding principal balance, all accrued but unpaid interest and/or Late Charges
(as defined in the Note) at once will become due and payable upon written notice to the Company by the Lender.
In
connection with entry into the Credit Facility, the Company agreed to pay to each Lender a one-time committee fee in cash equal to 3.5 %
of such Lender’s Commitment Amount. In addition, in consideration of the Lenders’ commitment to provide the Advances to the
Company, the Company agreed to issue each Lender warrants to purchase the number of shares of common stock equal to the product
of (i) 160,000 shares of common stock multiplied by (ii) the ratio represented by each Lender’s Commitment Amount divided by the
$ 5,000,000 (the “Warrants”).
Subject
to certain ownership limitations, the Warrants will be exercisable immediately from the date of issuance, will expire on the five
( 5 )
year anniversary of the date of issuance and will have an exercise price of $ 2.53
per share. The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to certain adjustments, including stock dividends, stock splits,
combinations and reclassifications of the Company’s Common Stock. In the event of a Triggering Event, as described in the
Warrant Certificate, each of the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to exercise its Warrant and receive the same amount and
kind of securities, cash or property as such holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Triggering Event
if such holder had exercised the rights represented by the Warrant Certificate immediately prior to the Triggering Event.
Additionally, upon the holder’s request, the continuing or surviving corporation as a result of such Triggering Event will
issue to such holder a new warrant of like tenor evidencing the right to purchase the adjusted amount of securities, cash or
property and the adjusted warrant price.
Pursuant
to a selling agreement, dated as of May 11, 2022, the Company retained HPO as its placement agent in connection with the Credit
Facility. As compensation for services rendered in conjunction with the Credit Facility, the Company agreed to pay HPO a finder fee equal
to 3 % of the Commitment Amount from each such Lender placed by HPO in cash.
Financial Advisory Agreement
On May 11, 2022, the Company
entered into a certain financial advisory agreement with Cleveland Capital Management, L.L.C., a related party (“Cleveland Management”)
pursuant to which Cleveland Management agreed to provide the Company with financial consulting services.

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 fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.
Business
Overview
We
design, develop, manufacture, and sell a portfolio of advanced lithium-ion energy storage solutions for electrification of a range of
industrial commercial sectors which include material handling, airport ground support equipment (“GSE”), and stationary energy
storage. We believe our mobile and stationary energy storage solutions provide our customers a reliable, high performing, cost effective,
and more environmentally friendly alternative as compared to traditional lead acid and propane-based solutions. Our modular and scalable
design allows different configurations of lithium-ion battery packs to be paired with our proprietary wireless battery management system
to provide the level of energy storage required and “state of the art” real time monitoring of pack performance. We believe
that the increasing demand for lithium-ion battery packs and more environmentally friendly energy storage solutions in the material handling
sector should continue to drive our revenue growth.
Our
long-term strategy is to meet the rapidly growing demand for lithium-ion energy solutions and to be the supplier of choice, targeting
large companies having energy storage needs. We have established selling relationships with large fleets of forklifts and GSEs. We intend
to reach this goal by investing in research and development to expand our product mix, by expanding our sales and marketing efforts,
improving our customer support efforts and continuing our efforts to improve production capacity and efficiencies. Our research and development
efforts will continue to focus on providing adaptable, reliable and cost-effective energy storage solutions for our customers. We have
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 to predictively balance the cells for optimal performance.
Our
largest sector of penetration thus far has been the material handling sector which we believe is a multi-billion dollar addressable market.
We believe the sector will provide us with an opportunity to grow our business as we enhance our product mix and service levels and grow
our sales to large fleets of forklifts and GSEs. Applications of our modular packs for other industrial and commercial uses, such as
solar energy storage, are providing additional current growth and further opportunities. We intend to 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.

“Backlog”
represents the amount of anticipated revenues we may recognize in the future from existing contractual orders with customers that are
in progress and have not yet shipped. Backlog values may not be indicative of future operating results as orders may be cancelled, modified
or otherwise altered by customers. In addition, our ability to realize revenue from our backlog will be dependent on the delivery of
key parts from our suppliers and our ability to manufacture and ship our products to customers in a timely manner. There can be no assurance
that outstanding customer orders will be fulfilled as expected and that our backlog will result in future revenues.
As
of May 10, 2022, our order backlog was approximately $33.1 million.
Business
Updates
Due
to the growth in orders for our energy storage solutions and accessories, coupled with supply chain disruptions due to COVID-19 delaying
our ability to fulfill such orders, we have experienced an increase in our backlog of open orders.
Supply
Chain Issues and Higher Procurement Costs
Due
to COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions continue, notably with delivery delays at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. In
addition, the price of steel and certain other electrical components used in our products have seen dramatic increases, along with shipping
costs. It is impossible to predict how long the current disruptions to the cost and availability of raw materials and component parts
will last. We implemented a price increase on certain new product orders in October 2021 to offset rising global costs of raw materials
and component parts. A second price increase was implemented in April 2022. In addition, we increased our inventory of raw materials
and component parts to $20.9 million as of March 31, 2022 to mitigate supply chain disruptions and support timely deliveries.
However, there can be no assurance that such increases or any future increases will be sufficient to offset continued rising costs.
19
To
address some of the negative consequences to our business, we have implemented a number of new strategic initiatives:
Strategic
Initiatives.
●
Expand
our base of suppliers to better manage supply chain disruptions and associated risks;
●
Introduce
new product designs to lower costs, simplify the bill of materials, and improved serviceability;
●
Improve
our manufacturing capacity and production processes (including implementing lean manufacturing) to increase throughput, reduce the
time to fulfill our order backlog and improve gross margins;
●
Seek more competitive carriers to reduce shipping costs;
●
Utilize lower cost steel suppliers that meet required
specifications;
●
Transition
product lines to a new cell technology including revised UL Listing and OEM approvals in efforts to lower costs of production, improve
supplier reliability, and higher energy capabilities of our solutions;
●
Expand
our customer base, particularly among Fortune 100 & 500 companies;
●
Deploy
our Sky BMS telematics technology to many users.
There
can be no assurance that our initiatives and efforts to mitigate the supply chain issues and rising costs will be successful.
New Product Update
During
the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we introduced new product designs to respond to customer requests. Some of the improvements included
higher capacities for extra-long and demanding shifts, easier servicing, lower total cost of ownership, and other features to solve a
variety of existing performance challenges of customer operations. We continue to introduce new product designs for margin enhancement,
part commonality and improved serviceability.
At
the MODEX material handling trade show in March 2022, we have introduced three (3) new products as follow:
●
L36 lithium-ion battery pack, a 36-volt option for 3-wheel forklifts;
●
C48
lithium-ion battery pack for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR); and
●
S24
lithium-ion battery pack providing twice the capacity (210Ah) for Walkie Pallet Jacks for heavy duty

The Credit Facility provides the Company with a short-term line of credit (the “LOC”) not less than $3,000,000 and not more
than $5,000,000, the proceeds of which shall be used by the Company for working capital purposes. In connection with the LOC, the Company
issued separate subordinated unsecured promissory notes in favor of each respective Lender (each promissory note, a “Note”)
for each Lender’s commitment amount (each such commitment amount, a “Commitment Amount”). As of May 12, 2022, the Lenders
committed an aggregate of $4,000,000.
Pursuant to the terms of the
Credit Facility, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, an “Advance”) up to such Lender’s Commitment
Amount to the Company from time to time, until the December 31, 2022 (the “Due Date”). The Company may, from time to time,

the right to payment under the Note to SVB’s indebtedness by the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Flux Power, Inc., now
outstanding or hereinafter incurred.
The Credit Facility includes
customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and the Lenders. The Company has also agreed to pay the legal fees
of Cleveland’s counsel in the amount up to $10,000. In addition, each Note also provides that, upon the occurrence of a Default,
at the option of the Lender, the entire outstanding principal balance, all accrued but unpaid interest and/or Late Charges (as defined
in the Note) at once shall become due and payable upon written notice to the Company by the Lender.
In connection with entry into
the Credit Facility, the Company agreed to pay each Lender a one-time committee fee in cash equal to 3.5% of such Lender’s Commitment
Amount. In addition, in consideration of the Lenders’ commitment to provide the Advances to the Company, the Company agreed to issue each Lender warrants to purchase the number of
shares of common stock equal to the product of (i) 160,000 shares of common stock multiplied by (ii) the ratio represented by each Lender’s
Commitment Amount divided by the $5,000,000 (the “Warrants”).
Subject to certain
ownership limitations, the Warrants will be exercisable immediately from the date of issuance, will expire on the five (5) year
anniversary of the date of issuance and will have an exercise price of $2.53 per share. The exercise price of the Warrants is
subject to certain adjustments, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations and reclassifications of the Company’s
Common Stock. In the event of a Triggering Event, as described in the Warrant Certificate, each of the holders of the Warrants shall
be entitled to exercise its Warrant and receive the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as such holder would have
been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Triggering Event if such holder had exercised the rights represented by the
Warrant Certificate immediately prior to the Triggering Event. Additionally, upon the holder’s request, the continuing or
surviving corporation as a result of such Triggering Event shall issue to such holder a new warrant of like tenor evidencing the
right to purchase the adjusted amount of securities, cash or property and the adjusted warrant price.
Pursuant to a selling agreement, dated
as of May 11, 2022, the Company retained HPO as its placement agent in connection with the Credit Facility. As compensation for services
rendered in conjunction with the Credit Facility, the Company agreed to pay HPO a finder fee equal to three percent (3%) of the Commitment
Amount from each such Lender placed by HPO in cash.

COVID-19
Update
The
COVID-19 pandemic has continued to impact both global and domestic businesses and many economic activities. The COVID-19 pandemic has
placed significant pressures on our supply chains causing supply shortages, price increases, and delays in productions. In addition,
the COVID-19 pandemic has also placed additional safety regulations and monitoring measures on companies. The Company began implementing
COVID-19 measures in March 2020 as recommended by the CDC and other governmental authorities. The Company has had to navigate staffing
requirements as certain employees tested positive for COVID-19. Our manufacturing operations have not yet experienced production stoppages,
however, we have experience negative consequences such as disruptions in the supply chain supply and price increases. Therefore, we remain
subject to significant risks of supply shortages, delays in shipping, and price increases that could materially affect our financial
condition and operating results.

Revenues
Revenues
for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, increased by $6,213,000 or 89% to $13,177,000, compared to $6,964,000 for the quarter ended March
31, 2021. The increase in revenues was due to sales of energy storage solutions with higher selling prices and a higher volume of units
sold. The increase in revenues included both greater sales to existing customers as well as initial sales to new customers.
Cost
of Sales
Cost
of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, increased by $5,970,000, or 113%, to $11,257,000 compared to $5,287,000 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2021. The increase in cost of sales was directly associated with higher sales of energy storage solutions, as well as
increased costs of steel, electronic parts, and common off the shelf parts chiefly as a result of the supply chain interruptions. Cost
of sales as a percent of revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was 85%, an increase of 9 percentage points over 76% for the quarter
ended March 31, 2021.
21
Gross
Profit
Gross
profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 increased by $243,000 or 14%, to $1,920,000 compared to $1,677,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2021. The gross profit margin (gross profit as a percent of revenues) decreased to 15% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022
compared to 24% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Gross profit was negatively impacted by higher costs for steel, electronic parts,
and common off the shelf parts during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, partially offset by higher revenues associated with increased
sales of energy storage solutions.
Selling
and Administrative Expenses

and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 increased by $782,000 or 25%, to $3,904,000 compared to $3,122,000 for
the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in personnel expenses related to new hires and
temporary labor, outbound shipping costs, and an increase in insurance premiums, partially offset by a decrease in marketing expenses
and stock-based compensation and legal expenses.
Research
and Development Expense
Research
and development expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 increased by $190,000 or 12%, to $1,713,000 compared to $1,523,000 for
the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Such expenses consisted primarily of materials, supplies, salaries and personnel related expenses,
product testing, consulting, and other expenses associated with revisions to existing product designs and new product development. The
increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to expenses related to development of new products, UL certifications,
higher personnel expenses related to new hires and temporary labor.
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.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 decreased by $12,000 or 19% to $52,000 compared to $64,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
2021. Interest expense was primarily related to our outstanding lines of credit and convertible promissory note.
Net
Loss
Net
loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 increased by $2,024,000 or 117%, to $3,749,000 as compared to a net loss of $1,725,000 for
the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The higher net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to increased operating
expenses, and decreased other income, partially offset by an increase in gross profit and a decrease in interest expense.

Revenues
Revenues
for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, increased by $9,206,000 or 51% to $27,138,000, compared to $17,932,000 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2021. The increase in revenues was due to sales of energy storage solutions with higher selling prices and a higher volume
of units sold. The increase in revenues included both greater sales to existing customers as well as initial sales to new customers.
Cost
of Sales
Cost
of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, increased by $8,945,000, or 64%, to $22,838,000 compared to $13,893,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in cost of sales was directly associated with higher sales of energy storage solutions, as
well as increased costs of steel, electronic parts, and common off the shelf parts chiefly as a result of the supply chain interruptions.
Cost of sales as a percent of revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 was 84%, an increase of 7 percentage points over 77%
for the same period last year as described above.
Gross
Profit
Gross
profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 increased by $261,000 or 6%, to $4,300,000 compared to $4,039,000 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2021. The gross profit margin (gross profit as a percent of revenues) decreased to 16% for the nine months ended March
31, 2022 compared to 23% for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. Gross profit was negatively impacted by higher costs for steel, electronic
parts, and common off the shelf parts during nine months ended March 31, 2022, partially offset by higher revenues directly associated
with higher sales of energy storage solutions.
Selling
and Administrative Expenses
Selling
and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 increased by $2,225,000 or 24%, to $11,402,000 compared to $9,177,000
for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in personnel expenses related to new hires
and temporary labor, an increase in insurance premiums, and outbound shipping costs, partially offset by a decrease in marketing expenses,
stock-base compensation, and professional service fees including accounting and legal expenses.
Research
and Development Expense
Research
and development expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 increased by $1,144,000 or 25%, to $5,768,000 compared to $4,624,000
for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. Such expenses consisted primarily of materials, supplies, salaries and personnel related expenses,
product testing, consulting, and other expenses associated with revisions to existing product designs and new product development. The
increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to expenses related to UL certifications, higher personnel expenses related
to new hires and temporary labor.
23
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
in principal, together with all accrued interest of approximately $10,000 that SBA had forgiven on February 9, 2021.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 decreased by $532,000 or 86% to $86,000 compared to $618,000 for the nine months ended
March 31, 2021. Interest expense was primarily 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 representing
the amortization of debt discount related to Cleveland Loan that was paid off during that period.
Net
Loss
Net
loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 increased by $3,883,000 or 43%, to $12,956,000 as compared to a net loss of $9,073,000
for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. The higher net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to
increased operating expenses, and decreased other income, partially offset by an increase in gross profit and a decrease in interest
expense.
Adjusted
EBITDA
Adjusted
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated taking net income and adding back the expenses related to interest,
income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation, each of which has been calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted
EBITDA was a loss of approximately $11,857,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 compared to a loss of $7,629,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 2021.
Management
believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with our results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information
about our period-over-period results. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides additional information with
respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and is also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other
interested parties in the evaluation of comparable companies. We also rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a primary measure to review and assess
the operating performance of our company and our management team.
As
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, it should not be construed as a substitute for net income (loss) (as determined in accordance
with GAAP) for the purpose of analyzing our operating performance or financial position.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Overview
As
of March 31, 2022, we had a cash balance of $3,804,000 and an accumulated deficit of $79,161,000. Our business has not generated
sufficient cash to fund our historical operations, and we will need additional cash and capital resources to support our planned operations
and to execute our business plan. However, we believe that our existing cash, together with $2.5 million that currently remains available
under our $6.0 million working capital line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB Line of Credit”), and $4.0 million
available under our new subordinated line of credit with the Lenders, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital
resources to fund planned operations for the next twelve (12) months. See “Future Liquidity Needs” below.

completed [add date], and $5,079,000 in net proceeds from sales of common stock under our ATM offering, which were partially offset by
$2,580,000 in payments of outstanding related party borrowings, and $28,000 in payment of financing lease payable.
25
Future
Liquidity Needs
We
have evaluated our expected cash requirements over the next twelve (12) months, which include, but are not limited to, investments in
additional sales and marketing and research and development, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements. We believe that
our existing cash and additional funding available under our SVB Line of Credit, combined with funds available to us under our new
subordinated line of credit of up to $4.0 million will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital resources to fund planned
operations for the next twelve months. As of May 12, 2022, there is $4.0 million available for future draws under the LOC and $2.5 million available under the SVB Line of Credit. 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, sales of
our equity securities. We continue to have positive gross margin which has improved cash flow from operations.
Although
management believes that our existing cash and the additional funding sources currently available to us under the lines of credit are
sufficient to fund planned operations, our ability to draw funds from the line of credit are subject to certain restrictions and covenants.
If we are unable to meet the conditions provided in the loan documents, the funds will not be available to us. In addition, should there
be any delays in the receipts of key component parts, due in part to supply change disruptions, our ability to fulfil the backlog of
sales orders will be negatively impacted resulting in lower availability of cash resources from operations. In that event, we may be
required to raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities. If such funds are not available when required, management
will be required to curtail investments in additional sales and marketing and product development, which may have a material adverse
effect on future cash flows and results of operations.
In
the event we are required to obtain additional funds, there is no guarantee that additional funds will be available on a timely basis
or on acceptable terms. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, our stockholders
may experience additional dilution and such financing may involve restrictive covenants.
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 fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.
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 on the management’s assessment and review of our financial statements and results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we
have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for purposes stated above.
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 quarter ended March 31, 2022 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, 2021, filed with the SEC on September
27, 2021, 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.
