Our operating plan and forecast include a number of estimates and assumptions including our ability to execute our proposed plans, to generate revenue from our current backlog, to increase both revenue and gross profit, to implement cost reductions and to maintain access to cash funder our existing two credit facilities. If we are not successful in executing our plans as expected, our ability to continue as a going concern will be adversely affected; ● our ability to secure sufficient funding to support our current and proposed operations, which could be more difficult considering the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations, customer demand and supply chain, difficult stock market conditions as well as investor sentiment regarding our industry and our stock; ● our ability to manage our working capital requirements efficiently; ● our ability to maintain our credit facilities and obtain the necessary funds as needed; ● our ability to maintain effective internal controls, our ability to record, process and report financial information timely and accurately could be adversely affected and could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements, which could subject us to litigation or investigations, require management resources, increase our expenses, negatively affect investor confidence in our financial statements and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock. ● our ability to grow our revenue, increase our gross profit margin and become a profitable business; ● our ability to realize revenue from the current backlog is dependent on among other things, the delivery of key parts from our vendors in a timely manner. Backlog may not be indicative of future operating results, and existing orders may be cancelled, modified or otherwise altered by customers. We can provide no assurance as to the profitability of the contracts reflected in our backlog; ● our ability to fulfill our backlog of open sales orders given delays in the receipt of key component parts and other potential manufacturing disruptions posed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and general supply chain issues; ● our ability to obtain raw materials and other supplies for our products at existing or competitive prices and on a timely basis, particularly considering the impact of COVID-19 pandemic and inflation on our suppliers and supply chain; ● our anticipated growth strategies and our ability to manage the expansion of our business operations effectively; Page 3 ● our ability to maintain or increase our market share in the competitive markets in which we do business; ● 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 ability to shift to new suppliers and incorporate new components into our products 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 attract and 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 few major customers.

Page 8 FLUX POWER HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2023 (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, 2022 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2022. 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, 2022 has been derived from the audited balance sheet at June 30, 2022 contained in such Form 10-K. Nature of Business Flux Power Holdings, Inc. (“Flux”) was incorporated in 2009 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, 2022. 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, 2023 and 2022, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 16,048,054 and 15,988,926 , respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 16,021,653 and 15,254,983 , respectively. The Company incurred a net loss for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2023 and 2022 that were excluded from diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding represent shares underlying outstanding stock options, RSUs, and warrants, and totaled 2,661,220 and 2,070,652 , respectively. At March 31, 2023 and 2022 potentially dilutive common shares outstanding that were excluded from diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were as follows: SCHEDULE OF DILUTIVE COMMON SHARES OUTSTANDING EXCLUDED FROM DILUTIVE WEIGHTED AVERAGE COMMON SHARES OUTSTANDING March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022 Stock options 992,710 512,193 RSUs 213,388 272,146 Warrants 1,455,122 1,286,313 Total 2,661,220 2,070,652 Page 9 Liquidity Considerations The accompanying financial statements and notes have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and the year ended June 30, 2022, the Company generated negative cash flows from operations of $ 5.2 million and $ 23.9 million, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $ 87.1 million and $ 81.8 million, respectively. Management has evaluated the Company’s expected cash requirements over the next twelve (12) months, including investments in additional sales and marketing and research and development, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements. Management believes the Company’s existing cash, funding available under the SVB Credit Facility and the subordinated line of credit (“Subordinated LOC”), expected improvements in the gross margin and lower cash requirements will enable the Company to fund planned operations for the next twelve (12) months. Historically, the Company has not generated sufficient cash to fund its operations. The Company is continuing efforts to improve operational efficiencies and to generate revenue from its existing backlog. Management currently anticipates increased revenues as well as improvements in the Company’s gross margin over the next twelve (12) months. The Company has received new orders in the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2023 of approximately $ 51.7 million. As of May 10, 2023, the Company had a cash balance of $ 1.4 million, $ 3.8 million remained available for future borrowings under the $ 14 million SVB Credit Facility and $ 4.0 million available for future draws under the Subordinated LOC. As of May 10, 2023, $ 4.6 million remained available under the Company’s ATM agreement. In addition, to support our operations and anticipated growth, we intend to explore additional sources of capital as needed. We also continue to execute our cost reduction, sourcing, pricing recovery initiatives in efforts to increase our gross margins and improve cash flow from operations. Any unforeseen factors in the general economy beyond management’s control could potentially have negative impact on the planned gross margin improvement plan.

On October 29, 2021, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (“First Amendment” and together with the Agreement, the “Loan Agreement”) with SVB which amended certain terms of the Agreement including, but not limited to, increasing the amount of the revolving line of credit from $ 4.0 million to $ 6.0 million, and extending the maturity date to November 7, 2022 . The First Amendment provided the Company with a senior secured credit facility for up to $ 6.0 million available on a revolving basis (“Revolving LOC”). Outstanding principal under the Revolving LOC accrued interest at a floating rate per annum 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%). The Company paid a non-refundable commitment fee of $ 15,000 upon execution of the Agreement and an additional non-refundable commitment fee of $22,500 in connection with the First Amendment . Page 10 On June 23, 2022, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (“Second Amendment” and together with the Loan Agreement,, the “Second Amended Loan Agreement”) with SVB, which amended certain terms of the Loan Agreement , including but not limited to, (i) increasing the amount of the revolving line of credit to $8.0 million, (ii) changing the financial covenants of the Company from one based on tangible net worth to another based on adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Second Amendment) on a trailing six (6) month basis and liquidity ratio certified as of the end of each month pursuant to the calculations set forth therein, and (iii) allowing for the assignment and transfer by SVB of all of its obligations, rights and benefits under the Agreement and Loan Documents (as defined in the Agreement and except for the Warrants) .

(See Note 9 – Subsequent Events) Page 11 NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY DEBT AGREEMENTS As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the Company had no related party debt balance outstanding. Below are the activities for the Company’s related party debt agreements that existed during the periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 covered by the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Subordinated Line of Credit Facility On May 11, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Facility Agreement (the “Subordinated LOC”) 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 Subordinated LOC provides the Company with a short-term line of credit 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 Subordinated 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 March 31, 2023, the Lenders committed to an aggregate commitment of $ 4,000,000 . Pursuant to the terms of the Subordinated LOC, 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”). On December 15, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company elected to extend the Due Date to December 31, 2023. 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 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 now outstanding or hereinafter incurred. On December 15, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company elected to extend the Due Date to December 31, 2023 and the Company paid the Lenders an extension fee in the aggregate amount of $ 80,000 . The Subordinated LOC 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 Subordinated LOC, the Company paid to each Lender a one-time commitment 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 issued the Lenders five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 128,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $ 2.53 per share that are, subject to certain ownership limitations, exercisable immediately (the “Warrants”) ( the number of warrants issued to each Lender is 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 ). Pursuant to a selling agreement, dated as of May 11, 2022, the Company retained HPO as its placement agent in connection with the Subordinated LOC. As compensation for services rendered in conjunction with the Subordinated LOC, the Company paid HPO a finder fee equal to 3 % of the Commitment Amount from each such Lender placed by HPO in cash.

Page 19 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, 2022. 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 other commercial and industrial applications. 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 demanding energy storage needs. We have established selling relationships equipment OEMs and customers with large fleets of forklifts and GSEs. We intend to reach this goal by investing in research and development to expand our product mix, 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. 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 growth 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. The following table summarizes the new orders, shipments, and backlog activities for the last six (6) fiscal quarters: Fiscal Quarter Ended Beginning Backlog New Orders Shipments Ending Backlog December 31, 2021 $ 19,433,000 $ 19,819,000 $ 7,837,000 $ 31,415,000 March 31, 2022 $ 31,415,000 $ 20,495,000 $ 13,317,000 $ 38,593,000 June 30, 2022 $ 38,593,000 $ 11,622,000 $ 15,195,000 $ 35,020,000 September 30, 2022 $ 35,020,000 $ 9,678,000 $ 17,840,000 $ 26,858,000 December 31, 2022 $ 26,858,000 $ 20,652,000 $ 17,158,000 $ 30,352,000 March 31, 2023 $ 30,352,000 $ 9,751,000 $ 15,087,000 $ 25,016,000 Page 20 “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 8, 2023, our order backlog was approximately $31.4 million. Business Updates The supply chain disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic continue to abate. The delivery delays of purchased components and the shortage of components to production timing have improved. The price increases during the pandemic for steel and domestic freight have lessened but still remain higher than pre-pandemic. Price recovery of increased pandemic-related costs have now begun to be realized in shipments during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Lead times for forklifts and GSE Equipment have been extended for certain model lines of major OEMs. These extended lead times have resulted in some shipment deferrals and delays in receiving anticipated orders. Not all product lines are impacted but the impact has required additional selling efforts to maintain our sales trajectory. Recent Corporate Developments Closing of Silicon Valley Bank On March 10, 2023, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) issued a press release stating that Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the FDIC as receiver.

Results of Operations and Financial Condition The following table represents our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022. Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 $ % of Revenues $ % of Revenues Revenues $ 15,087,000 100 % $ 13,177,000 100 % Cost of sales 10,368,000 69 % 11,257,000 85 % Gross profit 4,719,000 31 % 1,920,000 15 % Operating expenses: Selling and administrative 4,724,000 31 % 3,904,000 30 % Research and development 1,182,000 8 % 1,713,000 13 % Total operating expenses 5,906,000 39 % 5,617,000 43 % Operating loss (1,187,000 ) -8 % (3,697,000 ) -28 % Other income - 0 % - 0 % Interest expense, net (258,000 ) -2 % (52,000 ) -0 % Net loss $ (1,445,000 ) -10 % $ (3,749,000 ) -28 % Page 22 Revenues Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, increased by $1,910,000 or 14% to $15,087,000, compared to $13,177,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increase in revenues was due to sales of energy storage solutions with higher average selling prices and a higher volume of units sold, driven by significant increases in Ground Support Equipment sales. The increase in revenues included both greater sales to existing and new Material Handling customers as well as an increase in Ground Support Equipment sales. Cost of Sales Cost of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, decreased by $889,000, or 8%, to $10,368,000 compared to $11,257,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in cost of sales was directly associated with higher sales of energy storage solutions, partially offset by lower average cost of sales per unit achieved during the current quarter as a result of our gross margin improvement initiatives, including design enhancements to lower cost, improve serviceability, simplify bill of materials and supply chain initiatives to improve inventory turns and create part commonality across multiple product line. Cost of sales as a percent of revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was 69%, an improvement of 16percentage points compared to 85% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Gross Profit Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 increased by $2,799,000 or 146%, to $4,719,000 compared to $1,920,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The gross profit margin (gross profit as a percent of revenues) increased to 31% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to 15% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Gross profit improved by 16 percentage points as a result of a higher volume of units sold with greater gross margin and lower cost of sales as a result of the gross margin improvement initiatives as noted above. Selling and Administrative Expenses Selling and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 increased by $820,000 or 21%, to $4,724,000 compared to $3,904,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to higher staff related expenses and increases in marketing expenses, commissions, depreciation, professional service fees, stock-based compensation, and travel expenses, partially offset by decreases in outbound shipping costs, public relation expenses, recruiting costs, and consulting fees. Research and Development Expense Research and development expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 decreased by $531,000 or 31%, to $1,182,000 compared to $1,713,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. 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 decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to lower staff related expenses and expenses related to the development of new products. Interest Expense Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 increased by $206,000 to $258,000 compared to $52,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increase in interest expense was primarily related to higher balances outstanding under our SVB Credit Facility as well as higher interest rates. Also included in interest expense during quarter ended March 31, 2023 was additional interest expense of approximately $20,000 representing the amortization of debt issuance costs related to our existing lines of credit. Net Loss Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 decreased by $2,304,000 or 61%, to $1,445,000 as compared to $3,749,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The lower net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily attributable to increased gross profit, partially offset by increases in operating expenses and interest expense. Page 23 The following table represents our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022. Nine Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 $ % of Revenues $ % of Revenues Revenues $ 50,085,000 100 % $ 27,138,000 100 % Cost of sales 37,310,000 74 % 22,838,000 84 % Gross profit 12,775,000 26 % 4,300,000 16 % Operating expenses: Selling and administrative 13,510,000 27 % 11,402,000 42 % Research and development 3,567,000 7 % 5,768,000 21 % Total operating expenses 17,077,000 34 % 17,170,000 63 % Operating loss (4,302,000 ) -9 % (12,870,000 ) -47 % Other income 8,000 0 % - 0 % Interest expense, net (971,000 ) -2 % (86,000 ) -1 % Net loss $ (5,265,000 ) -11 % $ (12,956,000 ) -48 % Revenues Revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, increased by $22,947,000 or 85% to $50,085,000, compared to $27,138,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in revenues was due to sales of energy storage solutions with higher average 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. Though volume growth was consistent across all Material Handling product lines, high-powered Class 1 product saw the biggest volume increase from the year ago same period. Additionally, we further diversified our sales channels, and saw considerable volume and price improvement in Ground Support Equipment sales as domestic airlines resumed operations with a reinvigorated focus on sustainably scaling their own operations with our environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions. Cost of Sales Cost of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, increased by $14,472,000, or 63%, to $37,310,000 compared to $22,838,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in cost of sales was directly associated with higher sales volume of our energy storage solutions, as well as increased costs of steel, and electronic parts, largely due to supply chain interruptions within our supply base. Cost of sales as a percent of revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 was 74%, an improvement of 10 percentage points compared to 84% for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. Gross Profit Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $8,475,000 or 197%, to $12,775,000 compared to $4,300,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The gross profit margin (gross profit as a percent of revenues) increased to 26% for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 16% for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. Gross profit improved by 10 percentage points due to a higher volume of units sold with greater gross margins and lower cost of sales as a result of the gross margin improvement initiatives. Page 24 Selling and Administrative Expenses Selling and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $2,108,000 or 18%, to $13,510,000 compared to $11,402,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in personnel expenses related to new hires and temporary labor, severance expenses incurred, and recruiting costs, and increases in depreciation expense, outbound shipping costs, insurance premiums, commissions, travel expenses, marketing expenses, and facilities related costs, partially offset by decreases in bad debt expenses, consulting fees, public relations expenses, and stock-based compensation. Research and Development Expense Research and development expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by $2,201,000 or 38%, to $3,567,000 compared to $5,768,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. 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 decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to lower staff related expenses and expenses related to development of new products. Interest Expense Interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $885,000 to $971,000 compared to $86,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in interest expense was primarily related to higher balances outstanding under our SVB Credit Facility as well as higher interest rates. Also included in interest expense during the nine months ended March 31, 2023 was additional interest expense of approximately $445,000 representing the amortization of debt issuance costs related to our existing lines of credit. Net Loss Net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by $7,691,000 or 59%, to $5,265,000 as compared to $12,956,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The lower net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily attributable to increased gross profit, and decreased operating expenses, partially offset by increased interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by 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 $3,108,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a loss of $11,857,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. 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 EBITDA and net income (loss) (as determined in accordance with GAAP) for the purpose of analyzing our operating performance or financial position. Page 25 A reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA to net loss is included in the table below: Nine Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 Net loss $ (5,265,000 ) $ (12,956,000 ) Add/Subtract: Interest, net 971,000 86,000 Income tax provision - - Depreciation and amortization 647,000 412,000 EBITDA (3,647,000 ) (12,458,000 ) Add/Subtract: Stock-based compensation 539,000 601,000 Adjusted EBITDA $ (3,108,000 ) $ (11,857,000 ) Liquidity and Capital Resources Overview For the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and the year ended June 30, 2022, we generated negative cash flows from operations of $5.2 million and $23.9 million, respectively. To date our business has not generated sufficient cash to fund our operations. However, based on our ability to recognize revenue from our existing backlog, we anticipate increased revenues as well as planned improvements in our gross margin over the next twelve (12) months. Our gross margin improvement plan includes, but is not limited to, efforts to drive bill of material costs down while increasing the price of our products for new orders. We have received new orders during the twelve (12) months period ended March 31, 2023, of approximately $51.7 million. As of May 10, 2023, we believe that our existing cash of $1.4 million, our $14.0 million revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB Credit Facility”), under which $3.8 million is currently available, our $4.0 million Subordinated LOC, along with the forecasted gross margin improvement will enable us to fund our planned operations for the next twelve (12) months. See “Future Liquidity Needs” below.

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. As of May 10, 2023, we believe that our existing cash of $1.4 million, cash from our future operations, funding available under our $14 million SVB Credit Facility, under which $3.8 million is currently available, which maturity date has been extended to December 31, 2023, funds available under our Subordinated LOC of up to $4.0 million, along with the forecasted improvement in the gross margin will enable us to fund our planned operations for at least the next twelve (12) months. As of May 10, 2023, $4.6 million remained available under our existing ATM offering that may be utilized if necessary subject to the volume of trading and price of our stock and market conditions. In addition, to support our operations and anticipated growth, we intend to continue to explore alternatives to secure additional capital from a variety of current and new sources including, but not limited to, sales of our equity securities. We also continue to execute our cost reduction, sourcing, pricing recovery initiatives in efforts to increase our gross margins and improve 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 for the next twelve (12) months, this is dependent our ability to successfully maintain and draw on our credit facilities. Our ability to draw funds from the SVB Credit Facility are subject to certain restrictions and covenants. In addition, under the current arrangement our SVB Credit Facility matures on December 31, 2023, and we will need to renew or replace it at that time. If we are unable to meet the conditions provided in the loan documents and further extend the maturity date, 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 addition, any unforeseen factors in the general economy beyond management’s control could potentially have negative impact on the planned gross margin improvement plan. 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. Page 27 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, 2022 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2022. 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, 2023. 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. As described in the Company’s 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and based on such assessment, management concluded that as of June 30, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to material weakness related to ineffective oversight of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and lack of sufficient review and approval of the underlying data used in the calculation of warranty reserve. We believe we have remediated the material weaknesses. We plan to continue to assess our internal controls and control procedures and intend to take further action as necessary or appropriate to address any other matters we identify or are brought to our attention. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Except as discussed above, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Page 28 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, 2022, filed with the SEC on September 28, 2022, 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.
