NOTE 1 BUSINESS
ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Organization and Operations
KULR Technology Group, Inc., through
its wholly-owned subsidiary, KULR Technology Corporation (collectively referred to as “KULR” or the “Company”),
develops and commercializes high-performance thermal management technologies for electronics, batteries, and other components
across a range of applications. Currently, the Company is focused on targeting the following applications: electric vehicles and
autonomous driving systems (collectively referred to herein as “E-Mobility”); artificial intelligence and Cloud computing;
energy storage; and 5G communication technologies. KULR provides heat management solutions to enhance the performance and safety
of battery packs used in electric vehicles, communication devices, and aerospace and defense applications.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial
statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items)
which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company
as of June 30, 2020 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The results of operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending
December 31, 2020 or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company’s audited financial statements and related disclosures as of December 31, 2019 and for the year then
ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-K on May 14, 2020.
NOTE 2 GOING
CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS
The Company has not yet achieved profitability
and expects to continue to incur cash outflows from operations. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had cash of $767,906 and
a working capital deficit of $931,889. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred net losses of
$979,238 and $1,187,109, respectively, and used cash in operations of $1,267,427 and $968,882, respectively. It is expected that
its research and development and general and administrative expenses will continue to increase and, as a result, the Company will
eventually need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability. Further, as of June 30, 2020, the Company has debt
principal (excluding Paycheck Protection Program loans) in the amount of $1,275,000 which matures on May 31, 2021.
In January 2020, an outbreak of a
new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in Wuhan, China. Through the first quarter of 2020, the disease became widespread
around the world, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic. Our business is dependent on
developing new markets and new products to be used on a global basis, thus restrictions on travel could lead to reduced demand
for our products and interruptions to supply chains. Also, the local regulations such as “Shelter in Place” will affect
our ability to maintain regular R&D and manufacturing schedules as well as the capability to meet customer demands in a timely
manner. Given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the potential future spread or mitigation of the Coronavirus and
around the imposition or relaxation of protective measures, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact to our future results of
operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

NOTE 2 GOING
CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS – CONTINUED
Effective February 27, 2020, the
Company entered into a twenty-four month Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (“SEDA”) with an Investor, pursuant
to which the Company may, at its discretion, sell up to an aggregate of $8,000,000 (subject to the Investor’s approval for
amounts over $100,000) of shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to 80% of the lowest daily volume weighted
average price for the five days immediately following the date the Company delivers notice requiring the Investor to purchase
the shares under the SEDA. For each advance, the Company shall have delivered all shares relating to all prior advances, and,
unless waived by the Investor, at least 5 trading days shall have elapsed from the immediately preceding advance date. See Note
11 – Stockholders’ Deficiency for additional details. Additionally, the Company applied for, and in April 2020,
received, a loan of approximately $155,000 under the government Small Business Administration (“SBA”) sponsored Payroll
Protection Program (“PPP”) to support continuing employment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had approximately
$7,242,300 available in connection with the SEDA, subject to certain conditions, in order to fund its ongoing operations; however,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to sell common shares pursuant to the SEDA at an acceptable
price, or without causing undue dilution to existing investors. Further, there is also no assurance that the Company will be able
to continue to obtain additional funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate
funds on reasonable terms, it may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or obtain funds by entering into
financing agreements on unattractive terms. The Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business,
including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures.
The aforementioned conditions indicate
that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial
statement issuance date. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate continuation
of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might become necessary should the
Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Since the date of the Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant
accounting policies, except as disclosed in this note.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. A significant
portion of the Company’s cash is held at one major financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in
such accounts. Cash held in US bank institutions is currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)
up to $250,000 at each institution. There was an uninsured balance of $517,906 as of June 30, 2020 and no uninsured cash
balances as of December 31, 2019.

NOTE 3 SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
Concentrations of Credit Risk – Continued
The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually
represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue, or whose accounts receivable balances individually represented 10%
or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable, as follows:
For the three months ended June 30,
2020 two customers accounted for 44% and 25% of revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the same two customers accounted
for 48% and 18% of revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, three customers accounted for 17%, 18%, and 64% of
revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 one of the same customers accounted for 14% and another customer accounted
for 47% of revenues.
As of June 30, 2020 three customers
accounted for 58%, 14%, and 27% of accounts receivable. The customer which accounted for 58% of account receivable as of June 30,
2020 accounted for 25% and 18% of revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. As of December 31, 2019,
four customers accounted for 33%, 17%, 20%, and 19% of accounts receivable.
There is no assurance the Company will continue to receive

NOTE 3 SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes
revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with
Customers” (“ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict
the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects
to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and,
in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process, including identifying
performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and
allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.
The following five steps are applied to
achieve that core principle:
· Step 1 : Identify the contract with the customer;
· Step 2 : Identify the performance obligations
in the contract;
· Step 3 : Determine the transaction price;
· Step 4 : Allocate the transaction price to
the performance obligations in the contract; and
· Step 5 : Recognize revenue when the company
satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company recognizes
revenue primarily from the following different types of contracts:
· Product
sales – Revenue is recognized at the point in time the customer obtains control
of the goods and the Company satisfies its performance obligation, which is generally
at the time it ships the product to the customer.
· Contract
services – Revenue is recognized at the point in time that the Company satisfies
its performance obligation under the contract, which is generally at the time it delivers
a report to the customer.
The following table summarizes the revenue
recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations:

represent payments received from customers for which the Company had not yet satisfied its performance obligation under the contract.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, there was $15,000 of revenue recognized from performance obligations
satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods.

NOTE 3 SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
Sequencing Policy
Under ASC 815-40-35 (“ASC 815”),
the Company has adopted a sequencing policy, whereby, in the event that reclassification of contracts from equity to assets or
liabilities is necessary pursuant to ASC 815 due to the Company’s inability to demonstrate it has sufficient authorized shares
as a result of certain securities with a potentially indeterminable number of shares, shares will be allocated on the basis of
the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive instruments, with the earliest grants receiving the first allocation of shares.
Pursuant to ASC 815, issuances of securities to the Company’s employees and directors, or to compensate grantees in a share-based
payment arrangement, are not subject to the sequencing policy.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed
by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss
per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the impact
of common share, if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and the conversion of convertible
instruments.
The following shares were excluded from
the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

On April 27, 2020, the Company received
approximately $155,000 of cash proceeds pursuant to an unsecured loan provided in connection with the Paycheck Protection Program
(“PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act and applicable regulations (“CARES Act”).
Under the terms of the CARES Act, as amended
by the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020, the Company is eligible to apply for and receive forgiveness for all
or a portion of their respective PPP Loans. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of the
loan proceeds for certain permissible purposes as set forth in the PPP, including, but not limited to, payroll costs (as defined
under the PPP) and mortgage interest, rent or utility costs (collectively, “Qualifying Expenses”) incurred during
the 24 weeks subsequent to funding, and on the maintenance of employee and compensation levels, as defined, following the funding
of the PPP Loan. The Company intends to use the proceeds of their PPP Loans for Qualifying Expenses. However, no assurance is
provided that KULR will be able to obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loans in whole or in part. Any amounts not forgiven incur interest
at 1.0% per annum and monthly repayments of principal and interest are deferred until the Small Business Administration decides
on forgiveness. While the Company’s PPP loans currently have a two-year maturity, the amended law will permit the Company
to request a five-year maturity, subject to the approval of the counterparty. During the three and six months ended June 30,
2020, the Company recognized interest expense of $272. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s

Overview
KULR Technology Group, Inc.,
through our wholly-owned subsidiary KULR Technology Corporation, develops and commercializes high-performance thermal management
technologies for batteries, electronics, and other components across an array of battery-powered applications. Currently, our main
focus is a total solution to battery safety by which we aim to mitigate the effects of thermal runaway propagation. We also target
and provide thermal solutions for the following applications: electric vehicles, cloud computing, 5G communication technologies,
and energy storage for commercial markets as well as directed energy weapons and high-power missile programs for aerospace and
defense. Our proprietary core technology is a carbon fiber material that provides what we believe to be superior thermal conductivity
and heat dissipation for an ultra-lightweight and pliable material. By leveraging our proprietary cooling solutions that have been
developed through longstanding partnerships with NASA, the Jet Propulsion Lab and others, our products and services make commercial
battery powered products safer and electronics systems cooler and lighter.
Battery safety technology
is becoming increasingly vital to our world in which battery-operated devices are everywhere. Lithium ion (“Li-ion”)
batteries are widely used in consumer electronics, aerospace, marine and automotive applications. In recent months, KULR has developed
a total battery safety solution for its customers that spans a wide array of industries and applications. KULR has seen great success
in using our patented thermal runaway shield (“TRS”) technology to prevent cell to cell thermal runaway propagation
as well as module to module propagation. We have designed a total solution for customers from the design stages incorporating our
materials all the way to testing their passive propagation resistant (“PPR”) battery packs. We are flexible and can
work with different battery pack configurations across various industries. We developed a PPR reference design for CubeSat battery
in December 2019. Our research and testing, as well as working alongside battery experts at NASA Johnson Space Center, has
positioned us for further advancements at the forefront of battery safety.
Hundreds of millions
of Li-ion cells are produced and transported annually and even those packaged to prevent external short can still experience thermal
runaway (“TR”) due to internal shorts, caused by latent defects, when fully charged. In these dangerous cases, a torch-like
fire is released as energy escapes from the cell and sends nearby cells into TR resulting in a large fire. As part of our total
battery safety solution, we have designed a bag out of our TRS material to suppress the flames and prevent the TR event. Suitably
placed, the TRS provides a means of protection not only from adjacent batteries but also outside fires of arbitrary origin. Experts
at NASA’s Propulsion & Power Division found our TRS successful at extinguishing the fire generated by cells when
they intentionally triggered the batteries into dangerous failures. Our TRS bag is currently being used on the International Space
Station (“ISS”) through a project with Leidos, for storing laptop batteries in order to reduce the risk of TR.
Another key element
of our battery safety solution is KULR internal short circuit (“ISC”) device and trigger cells which are used for cell
testing and screening. Our patented ISC device, licensed from NASA/NREL, can be inserted by OEMs or manufacturers into cells to
mimic failure conditions in a cell. Once the trigger device is placed inside the cell, it can be intentionally triggered on demand
causing the cell to short circuit. Currently, we provide ISC devices to OEMs and cell manufacturers, as well as ready-made ISC
trigger cells to customers to identify failure modes and safety issues within their systems. Currently we are creating an ecosystem
based on our technology which can be applied to different battery architectures and chemistries.

Our management believes
that within commercial markets, aerospace and defense, and high-value applications, cell testing and screening has become a topic
of focus. Therefore, we plan to expand our capabilities to include full battery analysis and testing as outlined by NASA Johnson
Space Center. We plan to fully incorporate this into our holistic approach to battery safety along with our PPR battery pack design
and testing services, ISC device and trigger cell products and TRS bags. With increasing regulations and pressure from government
bodies to mitigate the dangers of battery fires and TR, we plan to further develop our capabilities in this arena.
Our management projects
high priority and growth in the aerospace and defense sectors, specifically in regard to directed energy, hypersonic weapon programs,
and space missions. Directed energy is currently in the spotlight as experts predict it will greatly impact the future of warfare.
Our CRUX cathode generates powerful electron pulses by field emission from the tops of our carbon fiber coating which has the potential
to further develop the current technology. Thermal management is another critical component of both hypersonic weapons programs
and space missions and is another area in which our products excel. Our carbon fiber solutions are used for thermal management
in missile defense programs and are particularly effective because of their survivability at very high temperatures. They are also
very effective at transferring heat and mitigate the risk of overheating in such high-risk environments. Historically we have provided
value to this sector and we look forward to further developing our relationships with Airforce Research Lab, Naval Research Lab
and prime contractors to market our solutions.
In addition to evolving
demands led by aerospace and defense, we have observed trending manufacturer-led opportunities in industries such as electric motor
vehicles (“EV”) that have become increasingly more reliant on the Cloud, portability and high-demand processing power.
KULR’s high performance thermal interface materials can be used to accelerate 5G communications development due to our material’s
core properties: high thermal conductivity, light weight, and low contact pressure. 5G is one of the biggest opportunities going
forward for transportation technology and we would like to take part in testing of digital and RF tests for 5G. Testing is still
in early phases for both digital and RF communication chips, however, we are seeing a big growth opportunity for thermal management
for 5G. Cloud computing is also an application of interest since high power communications chips and optical communication modules
require cooling.
We have not yet achieved
profitability and expect to continue to incur cash outflows from operations, as a result, we will eventually need to generate significant
revenues to achieve profitability. These conditions indicate that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern within one year after the financial statement issuance date. Historically, we have been able to raise funds to support
our business operations, although there can be no assurance, even with the support of borrowing under the SEDA, that we will be
successful in raising additional funds in the future. Furthermore, we remain focused on growing our operations and eventually achieving
profitability, although no assurances can be made that we will achieve such goals.
Recent Developments
COVID-19
In January 2020,
an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in Wuhan, China. Through the first quarter of 2020, the disease
became widespread around the world, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic. Our business
is dependent on developing new markets and new products to be used on a global basis, thus restrictions on travel could lead to
reduced demand for our products and interruptions to supply chains. Also, the local regulations such as “Shelter in Place”
will affect our ability to maintain regular R&D and manufacturing schedules as well as the capability to meet customer demands
in a timely manner. Given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the potential future spread or mitigation of the Coronavirus
and around the imposition or relaxation of protective measures, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact to our future results
of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
17
Common Stock
On July 1, 2020, we
issued 35,000 shares of immediately vested common stock with a grant date value of approximately $25,000 related to legal services
provided.
Standby Equity Distribution Agreement,
Note Purchase Agreement, and Promissory Note
On
February 27, 2020, we entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (“SEDA”) with YAII PN, Ltd.,
a Cayman Island exempt limited partnership (“YAII”), pursuant to which the Company may, at its discretion,
subject to certain conditions, sell to YAII up to $8,000,000 of shares common stock. For each share of common stock purchased
under the SEDA (the “Shares”), YAII will pay the Company 80% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of
the common stock on the OTC Markets OTCQB or other principal market on which the common stock is traded for the five days
immediately following the date the Company delivers notice requiring YAII to purchase the Shares under the SEDA. For each
advance, the Company shall have delivered all shares relating to all prior advances, and, unless waived by YAII, at least 5
trading days shall have elapsed from the immediately preceding advance date. The Company agreed to issue, without receiving
additional consideration, to YAII 95,847 shares of common stock as commitment shares in consideration for entering into the
SEDA. Through June 30, 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 561,564 shares of common stock at prices between $0.72 -
$1.62 per share for aggregate proceeds of $757,695 received against advance notices submitted to YAII under the SEDA, of
which $141,000 of the proceeds were applied directly against the note payable. Please see Note 8 – Note Payable for
more information.
The Company also entered
into a Note Purchase Agreement, dated February 27, 2020, with YAII, pursuant to which YAII purchased a full recourse promissory
note (the “Note”) in the original principal amount of $1,500,000 (“Principal Amount”). In consideration
for the issuance of the Note by the Company, the purchase price of the Note paid by YAII was equal to the Principal Amount minus
an original issue discount equal to 6%. The Note bears no interest and will become immediately due and payable on May 31,
2021 or upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise upon the occurrence of an event of default, as set forth in the Note. The Company
will repay the Principal Amount in monthly installments as set forth in the Note. The Company may, at its discretion, prepay any
installment amount or the principal amount, subject to a payment premium equal to the 10% of the amount being prepaid. Through
June 30, 2020, the Company repaid principal on the Note of $225,000.
Subsequent to June 30,
2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 771,159 shares of common stock at prices between $0.96 - $1.65 per share for aggregate
proceeds of $745,000 received against advance notices submitted to YAII under the SEDA, which consists of gross proceeds of $915,000
less $170,000 withheld by YAII to pay down a portion of the Note.
New Promissory Note Agreement
The Company also entered
into a Note Purchase Agreement, dated July 20, 2020, with YAII, pursuant to which YAII purchased a full recourse promissory
note (the “July 2020 Note”) in the original principal amount of $2,500,000 (“July 2020 Principal Amount”).
In consideration for the issuance of the July 2020 Note by the Company, the purchase price of the July 2020 Note paid
by YAII was equal to the July 2020 Principal Amount, minus an 8% commitment fee and a $10,000 structuring fee.
The July 2020
Note bears no interest and will become immediately due and payable on July 20, 2021 or upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise
upon the occurrence of an event of default, as set forth in the July 2020 Note. The Company will repay the July 2020
Principal Amount in monthly installments as set forth in the July 2020 Note. The Company may, at its discretion, prepay any
installment amount or the principal amount, subject to a payment premium equal to the 10% of the amount being prepaid.
The Company paid a
financial advisor a $200,000 advisory fee in connection with the July 2020 Note Purchase Agreement and Note.

For the three months
ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we generated $201,128 and $56,310 of revenues, respectively, representing an increase of $144,818,
or 257%. The increase in revenue was mainly due to a number of new customers who came on stream or ramped up their level of business
during the three months ended June 30, 2020. We had sales transactions with 10 customers in the three months ended June 30,
2020 compared to 4 in the three months ended June 30, 2019, reflecting the Company’s ongoing efforts to build new customer
relationships over a growing pool of referrals and business development leads. Typically, a customer relationship begins with service
projects to research customer problems and design relevant solutions, followed by product deliveries once the proposed solutions
are tested and accepted. Our service revenues, which include certain research and development contracts and onsite engineering
services, were not hampered by restrictions arising from working under COVID-19 shelter-in-place regulations. Product sales during
these periods included sales of our component product, CFV thermal management solution, and ISC battery cell products. The increase
in product sales between the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2020 was approximately 36%, not as high as
for services, due to a combination of limitations of physical product movements, and the early development stage of many of the
newer customers.
For
the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we generated $ 278,628 and $251,262 of revenues, from 14 and 13 customers,
respectively, representing an increase of $27,366, or 11%. Revenue from product sales decreased by 55% compared to the six months
ended June 30, 2019, partly due to the result of physical shipment delays under the impact of the COVID-19 related shut downs,
and partly due to the timing of product orders from customers. Product sales during these periods included sales of our component
product, CFV thermal management solution, and ISC battery cell products. Revenue from services sales increased by 508% between
the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2020 as a result of increased project requirements from some of the Company’s
new and existing customers. Our service revenues, which include certain research and development contracts and onsite engineering
services, were not hampered by restrictions arising from working under COVID-19 shelter-in-place regulations.
Our customers and prospective
customers are large organizations with multiple levels of management, controls/procedures, and contract evaluation/authorization.
Furthermore, our solutions are new and do not necessarily fit into pre-existing patterns of purchase commitment. Accordingly, the
business activity cycle between expression of initial customer interest to shipping, acceptance and billing can be lengthy, unpredictable
and lumpy, which can influence the timing, consistency and reporting of sales growth.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues consists
of the cost of our products as well as labor expenses directly related to product sales or research contract services.
Generally, we earn
greater margins on revenue from products compared to revenue from services, so product mix plays an important part in our reported
average margins for any period. Also, we are introducing new products at an early stage in our development cycle and the margins
earned can vary significantly between period, customers and products, due to the learning process, customer negotiating strengths,
and product mix.
19
For the three months
ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, cost of revenues was $41,413 and $28,550, respectively, an increase of $12,863, or 45%. The
increase was primarily due to higher salaries paid during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The gross margin percentage
was 79% and 49% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in margins during 2020 was primarily
due to an increase in sales of higher margin products as compared to the prior period as well as a result of a difference in product
mix between the comparable periods and sale of services to a major new customer.
For the six months
ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, cost of revenues was $67,339 and $90,067, respectively, a decrease of $22,728, or 25%. The decrease
was primarily due to a more favorable product mix being sold as compared to the prior period. The gross margin percentage was 76%
and 64% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The improvement in margins during 2020 was primarily
the result of both change in product mix and the sale of services to a major new customer.
Research and Development
Research and development
(“R&D”) includes expenses incurred in connection with the R&D of our CFV thermal management solution. R&D
expenses are expensed as they are incurred.
For the three months
ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, R&D expenses were $57,991 and $114,547, respectively, a decrease of $56,556 or 49%. The
decrease is primarily due to reductions in salaries and other salary related costs, such as payroll taxes and other benefits, as
a result of COVID-19.
For the six months
ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, R&D expenses were $169,704 and $227,739, respectively, a decrease of $58,035 or 25%. The
decrease is attributable to reductions in salaries and other salary related costs, such as payroll taxes and other benefits, implemented
during the end of the first quarter of 2020 due to COVID-19.
We expect that our
R&D expenses will increase as we expand our future operations.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and
administrative expenses consist primarily of travel, salaries, payroll taxes and other benefits, and rent expense.
For
the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, selling, general and administrative expenses were $424,865 and $534,262, respectively,
a decrease of $109,397 or 20%. The decrease is primarily due to a $24,000 decrease in rent expense due to the termination
of an operating lease during the end of the fourth quarter of 2019, a $115,000 decrease in contract labor, salaries and other benefits
due to the salary reductions implemented during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and a $44,000 decrease in travel expenses
due to decreased travel as a result of COVID-19, partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation of $51,000 and marketing
expenses of $32,000.
For the six months
ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, selling, general and administrative expenses were $894,392 and $1,119,753, respectively, a decrease
of $225,361, or 20%. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease of approximately $87,000 of travel expense resulting from decreased
travel due to COVID-19 restrictions, $86,000 of payroll and benefits due to salary reductions implemented as a result of COVID-19,
$53,000 of rent expense resulting from the termination of an operating lease in the fourth quarter of 2019, partially offset by
an increase of approximately $35,000 of stock-based compensation expense.
Other Expenses
For the three months
ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, other expense was $105,844 and $367, respectively, an increase of $105,477. The increase in
other expense is primarily due to the amortization of debt discount related to the issuance of a note payable and the change in
fair value of accrued issuable equity during the current quarter.
For the six months
ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, other expense was $126,431 and $812, respectively, an increase of $125,619. The increase in
other expense is primarily due to the amortization of debt discount related to the issuance of a note payable and the change in
fair value of accrued issuable equity during the current quarter.
20
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30,
2020 and December 31, 2019, we had cash balances of $767,906 and $108,857, respectively, and working capital deficits of $931,889
and $824,481, respectively.
For the six months
ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, cash used in operating activities was $1,267,427 and $968,882, respectively. Our cash used in
operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $979,238, adjusted for non-cash
expenses in the aggregate amount of $223,994, and $512,183 of net cash used to find changes in the levels of operating assets and
liabilities. Our cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to our net loss
of $1,187,109, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $99,234, partially offset by $118,993 of net cash provided
by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities.
For the six months
ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, cash used in investing activities was $30,000 and $0, respectively. Cash used in investing activities
during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was due to purchases of equipment.
For the six months
ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, cash provided by financing activities was $1,956,476 and $883,300, respectively. Our cash provided
by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was due to $1,410,000 of net proceeds from the issuance of
a note payable, $155,226 of proceeds from the Paycheck Protection Program loan, and $616,695 of net proceeds from the sale of common
stock. These amounts were partially offset by $130,000 for the payment of debt issuance costs, $84,000 for the repayments on notes
and $15,000 of cash paid in offering costs. Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019
consisted of $898,300 of proceeds from the sale of common stock offset by $15,000 cash paid for offering costs.
In January 2020,
an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in Wuhan, China. Through the first quarter of 2020, the disease
became widespread around the world, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic. Our business
is dependent on developing new markets and new products to be used on a global basis, thus restrictions on travel could lead to
reduced demand for our products and interruptions to supply chains. Also, the local regulations such as “Shelter in Place”
will affect our ability to maintain regular R&D and manufacturing schedules as well as the capability to meet customer demands
in a timely manner. Given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the potential future spread or mitigation of the Coronavirus
and around the imposition or relaxation of protective measures, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact to our future results
of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
Effective February 27,
2020, the Company entered into a twenty-four month Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (“SEDA”) with YAII, pursuant
to which the Company may, at its discretion, sell to up to an aggregate of $8,000,000 (subject to YAII’s approval for amounts
over $100,000) of shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to Company 80% of the lowest daily volume weighted
average price for the five days immediately following the date the Company delivers notice requiring YAII to purchase the shares
under the SEDA. For each advance, the Company shall have delivered all shares relating to all prior advances, and, unless waived
by YAII, at least 5 trading days shall have elapsed from the immediately preceding advance date. Through June 30, 2020, we issued
an aggregate of 561,564 shares of common stock at prices between $0.72 - $1.62 per share for aggregate proceeds of $757,695 received
against advance notices submitted to YAII under the SEDA, of which $141,000 of the proceeds were applied directly against the note
payable (see Note 9 – Stockholder Deficiency for additional details). Additionally, the Company applied for, and in April 2020,
received, a loan of $155,000 under the government Small Business Administration (“SBA”) sponsored Payroll Protection
Program (“PPP”) to support continuing employment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As of June 30, 2020,
we had approximately $7,242,300 available in connection with the SEDA, in order to fund our ongoing operations; however, there
can be no assurance that we will be able to continue sell common shares pursuant to the SEDA at an acceptable price, or without
causing undue dilution to our existing investors. Subsequent to June 30, 2020, we issued an aggregate of 771,159 shares of common
stock at prices between $0.96 - $1.65 per share for aggregate proceeds of $745,000 received against advance notices submitted to
YAII under the SEDA, which consists of gross proceeds of $915,000 less $170,000 withheld by YAII to pay down a portion of the Note.
During July 2020, we
also received net proceeds of $2,090,000 pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement with YAII (the “July 2020 Note”). The
July 2020 Note bears no interest, matures on July 20, 2021, and will be paid in monthly installments through the maturity date.
We have not yet achieved
profitability and expect to continue to incur cash outflows from operations. It is expected that our research and development and
general and administrative expenses will continue to increase and, as a result, we will eventually need to generate significant
revenues and/or raise additional capital to fund our operations. Although our management believes that we have access to capital
resources through the SEDA or other sources, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable
terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to significantly curtail or
discontinue operations or obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms. Our operating needs include
the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. The conditions
outlined above indicate that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after
the financial statement issuance date.
21
Our unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate our
continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily
purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance
sheet arrangements between us and any other entity that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on financial
conditions, changes in financial conditions, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources that is material to stockholders.
