Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by Rule 13a-15
of the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls
and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to
be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including
the principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the
end of the period covered by this Annual Report (the “Evaluation Date”), pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act.
Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses described in our report on internal control over financial
reporting below.
Notwithstanding the existence
of the material weaknesses, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in accordance
with U.S. GAAP, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in this
Annual Report.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
A control system, no matter
how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
Because of the inherent limitations in all controls systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control
issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide
reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives.

Management’s Report on Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting
Our principal executive officer
and our principal accounting and financial officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024. In making this assessment, management used the criteria described in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based upon such assessment and
due to the existence of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our principal executive
officer and our principal accounting and financial officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, our internal control over financial
reporting was not effective because, among other things, our controls related to the financial statements closing process were not adequately
designed or appropriately implemented to identify material misstatements in our financial reporting on a timely basis. Management has
evaluated remediation plans to address these deficiencies and is implementing changes to address the material weakness identified, including
hiring additional accountants and consultants and implementing controls and procedures over the financial reporting process.
It should be noted that any
system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of
the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain
events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
In light of the material weaknesses
described above, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included
in this Annual Report fairly present in accordance with U.S. GAAP, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows for the periods presented in this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There have been no changes
in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
HTL International, LLC, our
independent registered public accounting firm, is not required to and has not provided an assessment of the design or effectiveness of
our internal controls over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
During the quarter ended June
30, 2025, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule
10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

_______________________
(1)
Mr. Liles resigned as a director on May 8, 2025 at which time the Board appointed Yue Guo to serve as independent director.
(2)
Ms. Yang was appointed to the Board effective June 6, 2025. Ms. Yang does not receive cash or stock compensation for her service
on the board as she does not qualify as an independent director.
Our independent directors
each receive (i) $25,000 annual cash compensation, payable in equal quarterly installments, and (ii) $30,000 in restricted stock units
(“RSUs”), which were issued pursuant to our 2020 Amended Equity Incentive Plan. The RSUs vest monthly in 12 substantially
equal installments. In addition, the chairman of our audit committee is entitled to receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer for
his additional responsibilities, which retainer will be payable in equal quarterly installments. Directors will also be reimbursed for
reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the performance of their duties. No compensation has been awarded to any directors who
were not executive officers for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Equity Incentive Plan
On October 15, 2020, the Company’s
board of directors adopted, and its stockholders approved and ratified, the iPower Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. Further on May 5,
2021, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and its stockholders approved and ratified, the 2020 Amended Equity Incentive Plan.
The 2020 Amended Equity Incentive Plan allows for the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock, whether in the form of options,
restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units, performance shares and other stock or cash awards.
The general purpose of the 2020 Amended Equity Incentive Plan is to provide an incentive to the Company’s directors, officers, employees,
consultants and advisors by enabling them to share in the future growth of the Company’s business. The board of directors believes
that granting equity-based compensation serves to promote continuity of management and provide for a shared interest in the welfare, growth
and development of the Company. The Company believes that the 2020 Amended Equity Incentive Plan will serve to advance the Company’s
interests by enhancing its ability to (i) attract and retain employees, consultants, directors and advisors who are able to contribute
to the Company’s ongoing success and development, (ii) reward those employees, consultants, directors and advisors for their contributions
to the Company, and (iii) encourage employees, consultants, directors and advisors to participate in the Company’s long-term growth
and success.
60
In addition to the RSU grants
referenced above, on May 13, 2022, the Company granted stock options (the “Option Grants”) in the amount of (i) 3,000,000
shares to Chenlong Tan, our Chief Executive Officer and (ii) 330,000 shares to Kevin Vassily, our Chief Financial Officer. The Option
Grants have an exercise price of $1.12 per share (the closing price on the grant date) and have a term of 10 years, will vest in stages
upon the Company’s achievement of certain pre-determined market capitalization and revenue or operating income targets set forth
in the grant agreements. Upon Mr. Vassily’s resignation, stock options for 330,000 shares granted to him had been forfeited.
On August 29, 2024, the Company
granted 1,200,000 shares of stock options (the “2024 Stock Options”) to Chenlong Tan, the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer, pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The options have an exercise
price of $1.43 per share (which is 110% of the Fair Market Value of the stock on the grant date). The 2024 Stock Options have a term of
10 years and will vest as follows: 30,000 2024 Stock Options vested on the grant date (August 29, 2024), and 32,500 2024 Stock Options
will vest on the first day of each month from September 1, 2024, to August 1, 2027.
During the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2025, the Company granted an additional 88,094 RSUs to our directors and employees.
Granting of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the
Release of Material Nonpublic Information
We do no t grant equity awards
in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information that is likely to result in changes to the price of our common stock,

dispose of shares. This power may be sole or shared and direct or indirect. Applicable percentage ownership in the following table is
based on the total of 31,493,686 shares of common stock outstanding as of October 9, 2025. In computing the number of shares beneficially
owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock that are subject to options or warrants held by
that person and exercisable as of, or within sixty (60) days of, the date of this prospectus. These shares, however, are not counted as
outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person(s). Except as may be indicated in the footnotes

Independence of the
Board of Directors
As
required under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (Nasdaq), a majority of the members of a listed company’s
board of directors must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by the board of directors. The board of directors
consults with our outside counsel to ensure that its determinations are consistent with relevant securities and other laws and regulations
regarding the definition of “independent,” including those set forth in pertinent listing standards of Nasdaq, as in effect
from time to time.
63
The
Board undertook a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background,
employment, and affiliations, the Board has determined that Mr. Bennet Tchaikovsky, Ms. Hanxi Li and Ms. Yang Guo do not have relationships
that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these
directors is “independent” as that term is defined under the listing standards. In making these determinations, the Board
considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with the Company and all other facts and circumstances
the Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our shares by each non-employee director
and the transactions described in “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions.”
