ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) (the “Exchange Act”). Based on the foregoing evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level because of the material weakness discussed below. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we did not design or maintain effective controls to ensure that there is an appropriate review and approval of electronic payments (wires, EFT’s, ACH’s and credit card payments). We are in the process of developing a detailed plan for remediation of the material weakness, including developing and maintaining preventative controls around the electronic payment process to ensure proper segregation of duties. As a first step we have committed to upgrading our enterprise software from QuickBooks to NetSuite which will provide more documented authorizations, options and workflow. In addition, during 2021, we hired a Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) that will assist in providing additional segregation of duties and independent reviews our electronic payments. The COO will provide the leadership and organizational experience necessary to ensure we have proper operational controls and procedures in place to effectively manufacture and automate on a mass scale with sound operating efficiency. We will continue to assess the design and effectiveness of our remediation efforts in connection with our future assessments of internal control over financial reporting. Notwithstanding the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, our management has concluded that our consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) (2013 Framework). Based on this evaluation under the 2013 Framework, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2021 as a result of the material weakness described above. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Except as disclosed above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over current or future financial reporting. 24 Table of Contents Inherent Limitations of the Effectiveness of Controls Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Attestation Report of Registered Public Accounting Firm This Annual Report does not contain an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm related to internal control over financial reporting because the rules for smaller reporting companies provide an exemption from the attestation requirement. ​ ITEM 9B.

We intend to disclose future amendments to, or waivers of, our Code, as and to the extent required by SEC regulations, at the same location on our website identified above or in public filings. Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings Our directors, executive officers and control persons have not been involved in any of the following events during the past five years: ● any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; ● any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); 28 Table of Contents ● being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or ● being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated. Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Compliance Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock to file reports of initial ownership of common stock and other equity securities and subsequent changes in that ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To our knowledge, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners have complied with all applicable filing requirements of Section 16(a). Nomination Process As of December 31, 2021, we did not affect any material changes to the procedures by which stockholders may recommend nominees to the Board of Directors. We do not have any defined policy or procedure requirements for stockholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The Board of Directors believes that, given the current stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our operations develop to a more advanced level. We do not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the Board of Directors and there is no specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The board of directors assesses all candidates, whether submitted by management or stockholders, and makes recommendations for election or appointment. A stockholder who wishes to communicate with the Board of Directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our Chief Executive Officer at the address appearing on the face page of this annual report. ​ ITEM 11.

Requests or applications to provide services that require the specific pre-approval of the board of directors must be submitted to the Board of Directors by the independent auditors, and the independent auditors must advise the board of directors as to whether, in the independent auditor’s view, the request or application is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. The Board of Directors has considered the nature and amount of the fees billed by Marcum and believes that the provision of the services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining the independence of Marcum. 32 Table of Contents PART IV ITEM 15.

Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of KULR Technology Group, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Description of the Matter As described in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to the investor an aggregate of 650 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock and one-year warrants to purchase 2,600,000 shares of common stock at a price of $2.50 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $6,500,000 (the “Offering”). The Company also agreed to pay the investor a commitment fee of 1,300,000 shares of common stock at the closing of the Offering. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of restricted common stock and 1,500,000 options to purchase common stock to officers of the Company. Both grants will vest based on the achievement of certain market capitalization milestones by the Company. We identified the valuation of the Series D convertible preferred stock and the market-based share based compensation awards to be a critical audit matter as the valuations of such instruments are complex and can require judgement on the part of management. F-2 Table of Contents How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit Our audit procedures to address this critical audit matter included the following: (i) we evaluated the terms and conditions of the preferred stock as outlined in the preferred stock certificate of designation, (ii) we evaluated the terms and conditions of each of the market-based awards granted to the officers, and (iii) with the assistance of our internal valuation specialists, we tested the models and inputs used by management to estimate the fair value of the preferred stock and market-based awards through a combination of reperforming the Company’s model and performing an independent model using a Monte Carlo simulation. /s/ Marcum LLP Marcum LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2018.

AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020 NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND RISKS AND UNCERTANTIES Organization and Operations KULR Technology Group, Inc. was incorporated on December 11, 2015 under the laws of the State of Delaware as KT High-Tech Marketing, Inc. Effective August 30, 2018, KT High-Tech Marketing, Inc. changed its name to KULR Technology Group, Inc. 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 both, high performance aerospace and Department of Defense (“DOD”) applications, such as satellite communications, directed energy systems and hypersonic vehicles, and applying them to mass market commercial applications, such as lithium-ion battery energy storage, electric vehicles, 5G communication, cloud computer infrastructure, consumer and industrial devices. Risks and Uncertainties In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19, a novel strain coronavirus, a pandemic. During 2020 and continuing into 2022, the global economy has been, and continues to be, affected by COVID-19. While the Company continues to see signs of economic recovery as certain governments begin to gradually ease restrictions, provide economic stimulus and accelerate vaccine distribution, the rate of recovery on a global basis has been affected by resurgence of the virus or its variants in certain jurisdictions. The Company continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on its business and operational assumptions and estimates and has determined there were no material adverse impacts on the Company’s results of operations and financial position at December 31, 2021. The full extent of the future impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and financial condition is uncertain. Accordingly, COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects during 2022 and beyond, including the demand for its products, interruptions to supply chains, ability to maintain regular research and development and manufacturing schedules as well as the capability to meet customer demands in a timely manner. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. ​ NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of KULR Technology Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, KULR Technology Corporation. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Liquidity During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company raised gross proceeds of $ 6,500,000 in connection with the sale of preferred stock, common stock and warrants, and raised proceeds of $ 11,841,070 in connection with the exercise of options and warrants to purchase common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company repaid outstanding notes payable in the amount of $ 2,450,000 and paid financing costs in the amount of $ 365,000 . As of December 31, 2021, the Company had cash of $ 14,863,301 and working capital of $ 13,302,935 . While the Company anticipates it will continue to incur operating losses and use cash in operating activities for the foreseeable future, the Company believes that its current working capital is sufficient in comparison to its anticipated cash usage for a period of at least twelve months subsequent to the filing date of these financial statements. F-9 Table of Contents KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020 Use of Estimates Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, together with amounts disclosed in the related notes to the financial statements. The Company’s significant estimates used in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, fair value calculations for equity securities, stock-based compensation and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates. See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Stock-Based Compensation for additional discussion of the use of estimates in estimating the fair value of the Company’s common stock. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consisted primarily of cash, accounts receivable, revenue and accounts payable. Cash Concentrations 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 were uninsured balances of $ 14,363,301 and $ 8,513,010 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Customer and Revenue Concentrations 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: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Revenues ​ Account Receivables ​ ​ For the Years Ended ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ As of December 31, ​ 2021 ​ 2020 2021 2020 Customer A 29 % * ​ * ​ * ​ Customer B * ​ * ​ * ​ 70 % Customer C * ​ * ​ 34 % * ​ Customer D * ​ * ​ * ​ 19 % Customer E 25 % 18 % * ​ * ​ Customer F ​ * ​ * ​ * ​ 10 % Customer G ​ 30 % * ​ 42 % * ​ Customer H ​ * ​ * ​ 21 % * ​ Customer I ​ * ​ 32 % * ​ * ​ Total 84 % 50 % 97 % 99 % * Less than 10% There is no assurance the Company will continue to receive significant revenues from any of these customers. Any reduction or delay in operating activity from any of the Company’s significant customers, or a delay or default in payment by any significant customer, or termination of agreements with significant customers, could materially harm the Company’s business and prospects. As a result of the Company’s significant customer concentrations, its gross profit and results from operations could fluctuate significantly due to changes in political, environmental, or economic conditions, or the loss of, reduction of business from, or less favorable terms with any of the Company’s significant customers. F-10 Table of Contents KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020 Vendor Concentrations Vendor concentrations are as follows for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the Years Ended ​ ​ December 31, ​ ​ 2021 ​ 2020 Vendor A * 10 % Vendor B 14 % * ​ Total 14 % 10 % ​ * Less than 10% Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are carried at their contractual amounts, less an estimate for uncollectible amounts. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, no allowances for uncollectible amounts were determined to be necessary. Management estimates the allowance for bad debts based on existing economic conditions, the financial conditions of the customers, and the amount and age of past due accounts. Receivables are considered past due if full payment is not received by the contractual due date. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for bad debts only after all collection attempts have been exhausted. Inventory Inventory is comprised of carbon fiber velvet (“CFV”) thermal interface solutions and internal short circuit batteries, which are available for sale. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The cost of inventory that is sold to third parties is included within cost of sales and the cost of inventory that is given as samples is included within operating expenses. The Company periodically reviews for slow-moving, excess or obsolete inventories. Products that are determined to be obsolete, if any, are written down to net realizable value. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company’s inventory was comprised solely of finished goods. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation which is recorded commencing at the in-service date using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to charge the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 7 years (see Note 4 – Property and Equipment for additional details). Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of (a) the useful life of the asset; or (b) the remaining lease term. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. The Company capitalizes cost attributable to the betterment of property and equipment when such betterment extends the useful life of the assets. The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying value. Intangibles Intangible assets are stated at fair value as of the date acquired, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, which were determined to be 20 years , using the straight-line method or another method that more fairly represents the utilization of the assets. F-11 Table of Contents KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020 The Company periodically evaluates the remaining useful lives of our intangible assets to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining periods of amortization. In the event that the estimate of an intangible asset’s remaining useful life has changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life. If it is determined that an intangible asset has an indefinite useful life, that intangible asset would be subject to impairment testing annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not, based on future undiscounted cash flows or market factors, be recoverable. An impairment loss, the recorded amount of which would be based on the fair value of the intangible asset at the measurement date, would be recorded in the period in which the impairment determination was made. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions) The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash, accounts receivable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, notes payable and loans payable approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Preferred Stock The Company applies the accounting standards for distinguishing liabilities from equity when determining the classification and measurement of its preferred stock. The Company’s preferred shares are classified as stockholders’ equity because they are not subject to mandatory redemption, which would result in liability classified instruments measured at fair value, and because they are not conditionally redeemable preferred shares (including preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) which would result in temporary equity classified instruments. Convertible Instruments The Company evaluates its convertible instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivative financial instruments to be separately accounted for in accordance with Topic 815 of the FASB ASC. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record embedded conversion options and any related freestanding instruments at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. Embedded conversion options and any related freestanding instruments are recorded as a discount to the host instrument. If the instrument is determined not to be a derivative liability, the Company then evaluates for the existence of a beneficial conversion feature by comparing the market price of the Company’s common stock as of the commitment date to the effective conversion price of the instrument. F-12 Table of Contents KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020 Accrued Issuable Equity The Company records accrued issuable equity when it is contractually obligated to issue shares and there has been a delay in the issuance of such shares. Accrued issuable equity is recorded and carried at fair value with changes in its fair value recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Once the underlying shares of common stock are issued, the accrued issuable equity is reclassified as of the share issuance date at the then current fair market value of the common stock. Offering Costs Offering costs, which primarily consist of direct, incremental professional fees incurred in connection with a debt or equity financing, are capitalized as deferred offering costs (a non-current asset) on the balance sheet. Once the financing closes, the Company reclassifies such costs as either discounts to notes payable or as a reduction of proceeds received from equity transactions so that such costs are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. If the completion of a contemplated financing was deemed to be no longer probable, the related deferred offering costs would be charged to general and administrative expense in the consolidated financial statements. 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 the services are fulfilled and/or accepted by the customer. The following table summarizes the Company’s revenue recognized in its consolidated statements of operations: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the Years Ended ​ ​ December 31, ​ 2021 2020 Product sales ​ $ 1,495,328 ​ $ 404,467 Contract services ​ 917,540 ​ 219,498 Total revenue ​ $ 2,412,868 ​ $ 623,965 ​ F-13 Table of Contents KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020 As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had $ 132,303 and $ 20,000 of deferred revenue, respectively, from contracts with customers. The contract liabilities represent payments received from customers for which the Company had not yet satisfied its performance obligation under the contract, or the customers have not officially accepted the goods or services provided under the contract. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company did no t recognize any revenues that were included in deferred revenue in a previous period. During the year ended 2020, the Company recognized $ 15,000 of revenues that were included in deferred revenue in previous periods. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had $ 84,324 and $ 31,212 , respectively, of deferred labor costs, which is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Deferred labor costs represent costs to fulfill the Company’s contract service revenue. The Company will recognize the deferred labor costs as cost of revenues at the point in time that the Company satisfies its performance obligation under the respective contract, which is generally at the time the services are fulfilled and/or accepted by the customer. Shipping and Handling Costs Amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling are recorded as revenue. Costs incurred for shipping and handling are included as cost of revenues on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2021, the Company reclassed $ 18,887 of shipping and handling costs from selling, general and administrative expense to cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020. Research and Development Research and development include expenses incurred in connection with the research and development of our CFV thermal management solution, high-areal-capacity battery electrodes, 3D engineering for a rechargeable battery and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses. Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred. Advertising costs charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $ 145,025 and $ 123,846 , respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations. Stock-Based Compensation The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award since the fair value of the award is more readily determinable than the value of the services. The fair value of the award is measured on the grant date. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Upon the exercise of an award, the Company issues new shares of common stock out of its authorized shares. During the period from January 1, 2020 through June 17, 2020, it was determined that the Company’s common stock had a fair value of $ 0.66 per share, which was based on a number of factors, such as the examination of the sales of common stock for cash and the convertible preferred stock for cash etc. For the period from June 18, 2020 through December 31, 2021, the Company estimated the fair value of the awards granted in this period based on the market value of its freely tradable common stock as reported on the OTCQB market. The Company determined the freely tradable common stock price became a reliable and accurate representation of its fair market value during this period as a result of increased share volume and dollar trading volume. 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 and dilutive common-equivalent shares outstanding during each period. F-14 Table of Contents KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020 The following shares were excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ 2021 2020 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock — 698,600 Unvested restricted stock ​ 2,590,000 ​ — Unvested market -based equity awards ​ 3,000,000 ​ — Options ​ 405,216 ​ 370,000 Warrants ​ 2,594,553 ​ 6,787,911 Total 8,589,769 7,856,511 ​ Operating Leases The Company leases properties under operating leases. For leases in effect upon adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” at January 1, 2020 and for any leases commencing thereafter, the Company recognizes a liability to make lease payments, the “lease liability”, and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term, the “right-of-use asset”. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The right-of-use asset is measured at the amount of the lease liability adjusted for the remaining balance of any lease incentives received, any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent if the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term, any unamortized initial direct costs, and any impairment of the right-of-use-asset. Operating lease expense consists of a single lease cost calculated so that the remaining cost of the lease is allocated over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis, variable lease payments not included in the lease liability, and any impairment of the right-of-use asset. Income Taxes The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of items that have been included or excluded in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts (“temporary differences”) at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company utilizes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date. The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Reclassifications Certain prior period balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported results of operations or loss per share. Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date which the consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements, except as disclosed. F-15 Table of Contents KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about the terms and features of convertible instruments and amends certain guidance in ASC 260, Earnings per Share, relating to the computation of earnings per share for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The guidance becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements. In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10 “Codification Improvements”, which improves consistency by amending the Codification to include all disclosure guidance in the appropriate disclosure sections and clarifies application of various provisions in the Codification by amending and adding new headings, cross referencing to other guidance, and refining or correcting terminology. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. On May 3, 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. This new standard provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Issuers should apply the new standard prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring after the effective date of the new standard. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an issuer elects to early adopt the new standard in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company does not expect this new standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.

ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 effective January 1, 2021 and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. ​ NOTE 3 PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, prepaid expenses and other current assets consisted of the following: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of December 31, ​ 2021 2020 Inventory deposits ​ $ 309,688 ​ $ — Deferred labor costs ​ ​ 84,324 ​ ​ 31,212 Insurance ​ ​ 69,925 ​ ​ 10,429 Professional fees ​ 65,118 ​ 9,354 Other ​ 31,074 ​ 41,370 Marketing ​ ​ 10,231 ​ ​ 58,103 Total prepaid expenses ​ $ 570,360 ​ $ 150,468 ​ ​ F-16 Table of Contents KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC.

The lease, as amended, provided for monthly rental payments of $ 5,127 , and the lease term expired on June 30, 2021. Subsequent to the expiration of the lease term, the Company entered into a verbal agreement with the landlord to continue occupying the space on a month-to-month basis until the Company eventually moved out in October 2021. The Company evaluated this operating lease and determined that the short-term exemption available under ASC 842 applied since the lease term is less than 12 months and the lease does not include a purchase option whose exercise is reasonably certain. Since the short-term exemption applies, lease payments are recognized as an expense and no right of use asset or lease liability was recorded related to this lease. On April 5, 2021, the Company entered into a new lease agreement for office space in San Diego, California, effective June 1, 2021. The initial lease term is three years and there is an option to renew for an additional five years . Management does not expect to exercise F-18 Table of Contents KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020 its option to renew. Monthly rental payments under the new lease begin at $ 23,787 , which is comprised of $ 18,518 of base rent plus $ 5,268 of common area maintenance fees, with annual escalation of 3.5 %. The Company paid a security deposit of $ 50,213 in connection with the new lease agreement. The Company determined that the value of the lease liability and the related right-of-use asset at inception was $ 814,817 , using an estimated incremental borrowing rate of 5 % based on information available at the commencement date of the lease. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, operating lease expense was $ 223,548 and $ 63,751 , respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the Company does not have any financing leases.

The Notes included an original issue discount of $ 290,000 , which represents the difference between the principal and proceeds received. The original issue discount, along with the $ 340,000 advisory fees were recorded as a debt discount which were amortized over the term of the respective Notes using the effective interest rate method. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repaid principal on the Notes in the aggregate amount of $ 1,550,000 and during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company repaid principal on the Notes in the aggregate amount of $ 2,450,000 , such that the balance on the Notes is $ 0 at December 31, 2021. The Company paid debt redemption costs in the aggregate amount of $ 140,000 , which were recognized as expense during the year ended December 31, 2021. See Note 13 – Stockholders’ Equity (Deficiency) for additional details. The Company recorded amortization expense related to the debt discount of $ 128,198 and $ 501,802 during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. ​ NOTE 11 LOAN PAYABLE On April 27, 2020, the Company received $ 155,226 of cash proceeds pursuant to an unsecured loan (the “PPP” 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 2021, the Company is eligible to apply for and receive forgiveness for all or a portion of the PPP Loan. 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 used the proceeds of the PPP Loan for Qualifying Expenses. However, no assurance is provided that KULR will be able to obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan 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 to the earlier of (i) when the Small Business Administration remits the forgiven amount to the lender or notifies the lender that no forgiveness is allowed or (ii) October 31, 2021. While the Company’s PPP Loan currently has a two-year maturity, the amended law will permit the Company to request a five-year maturity, subject to the approval of the counterparty. The Company recorded interest expense of $ 1,701 and $ 923 during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s accrued interest related to the PPP Loan was $ 2,624 . ​ NOTE 12 INCOME TAXES The income tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 consists of the following: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the Years Ended ​ ​ December 31, ​ 2021 2020 Federal: ​ ​ Current ​ $ — ​ $ — Deferred ​ ( 2,359,473 ) ​ ( 474,692 ) ​ ​ ​ State and local: ​ ​ Current ​ — ​ — Deferred ​ ( 996,095 ) ​ ( 164,651 ) ​ ​ ( 3,355,568 ) ​ ( 639,343 ) Change in valuation allowance ​ 3,355,568 ​ 639,343 Income tax provision ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ F-20 Table of Contents KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020 A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate is as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the Years Ended ​ ​ December 31, ​ 2021 2020 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Tax benefit at federal statutory rate ( 21.0 ) % ( 21.0 ) % State income taxes, net of federal benefit ( 6.0 ) % ( 6.0 ) % Permanent differences ( 1.0 ) % 0.5 % Incremental research and development tax credits 0.0 % 0.0 % Other and prior year true-ups 0.0 % 4.1 % Change in valuation allowance 28.0 % 22.4 % Effective income tax rate 0.0 % 0.0 % ​ The Company has determined that a valuation allowance for the entire net deferred tax asset is required. A valuation allowance is required if, based on the weight of evidence, it is more likely than not that some or the entire portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. After consideration of all the evidence, management has determined that a full valuation allowance is necessary to reduce the deferred tax asset to zero. The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the Years Ended ​ ​ December 31, ​ 2021 2020 Deferred Tax Assets: ​ ​ Net operating loss carryforwards ​ $ 4,978,331 ​ $ 2,799,135 Research and development credit carryforwards ​ 270,188 ​ 51,199 Stock-based compensation ​ 981,067 ​ 11,062 Accruals ​ 55,460 ​ 68,082 Gross deferred tax assets ​ 6,285,046 ​ 2,929,478 Valuation allowance ​ ( 6,285,046 ) ​ ( 2,929,478 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ Deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ ​ ​ ​ Changes in valuation allowance ​ $ 3,355,568 ​ $ 639,343 ​ At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $ 18.6 million and $ 10.0 million, respectively. At December 31, 2021, approximately $ 3.9 million of federal net operating losses will expire from 2033 to 2037 , and approximately $ 14.7 million will have no expiration. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $ 18.1 million and $ 9.5 million, respectively, which will begin to expire in 2024. The net operating loss carryovers may be subject to annual limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382, and similar state provisions, should there be a greater than 50 % ownership change as determined under the applicable income tax regulations. The amount of the limitation would be determined based on the value of the company immediately prior to the ownership change and subsequent ownership changes could further impact the amount of the annual limitation. An ownership change pursuant to Section 382 may have occurred in the past or could happen in the future, such that the NOLs available for utilization could be significantly limited. The Company files federal and state (California) tax returns which are subject to audit for the years ending on or after December 31, 2017. No tax audits were commenced or were in process during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. ​ F-21 Table of Contents KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020 NOTE 13 STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIENCY) Authorized Capital The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $ 0.0001 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $ 0.0001 per share. The holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote per share. The preferred stock is designated as follows: 1,000,000 shares designated as Series A Preferred Stock, 31,000 shares designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, 400 shares designated as Series C Preferred Stock, and 650 shares designated as Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. Equity Incentive Plan On August 15 and November 5, 2018, the Board of Directors and a majority of the Company’s shareholders, respectively, approved the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). Under the 2018 Plan, 15,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company are authorized for issuance. The 2018 Plan provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, rights to purchase common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units to employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates. The 2018 Plan requires the exercise price of stock options to be not less than the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. As of December 31, 2021, there were 12,336,047 shares available for issuance under the 2018 Plan. Standby Equity Distribution Agreement On February 27, 2020, KULR Technology Group, Inc. entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (“SEDA”) with an investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company may, at its discretion, sell to the Investor up to $ 8,000,000 of shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Offering”), par value $ 0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). For each share of Common Stock purchased under the SEDA (the “Shares”), the Investor 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 the Investor to purchase the Shares under the SEDA. The commitment period under the SEDA commenced on February 27, 2020 (the “Effective Date”) and expires on the earliest to occur of (i) first day of the month following the twenty-four months after the Effective Date, (ii) the date on which the Investor has purchased an aggregate amount of $ 8,000,000 of Shares under the SEDA, or (iii) the date the SEDA is earlier terminated. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company was prohibited from issuing shares pursuant to the SEDA as a result of it being a Variable Rate Transaction pursuant to the Public Offering Purchase Agreement, described below. Effective March 1, 2022, the SEDA expired, and shares are no longer issuable under the agreement. The Company paid cash of $ 15,000 and issued 95,847 shares of Common Stock to the Investor as consideration for entering into the SEDA. The shares of common stock issued to the Investor had an issuance date fair value of $ 63,259 . The aggregate consideration of $ 78,259 was recorded as deferred offering costs and additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. During the year ended December 31, 2020 the Company issued an aggregate of 1,841,548 shares of common stock, at prices between $ 0.72 - $ 1.65 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $ 2,214,437 , in connection with notices submitted to the Investor under the SEDA, of which $ 791,000 of the proceeds, were applied directly against the Notes. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $ 5,707,305 available in connection with the SEDA, however, as a result of warrants issued during 2020 in an unrelated transaction which were outstanding, the Company could not issue shares in connection with Variable Rate Transactions pursuant to the Public Offering Purchase Agreement, described below. Series A Preferred Stock Each record holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote on any matter with holders of the Company’s common stock and other securities entitled to vote, if any, voting together as one (1) class. Each record holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to one-hundred (100) votes per share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder. F-22 Table of Contents KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020 The Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into any series or class of stock of the Company. In addition, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive dividends, nor do they have a right to distribution from the assets of the Company in the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company. On November 5, 2018, the Company received a written consent of the majority of the stockholders to issue 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock to Mr. Mo, if necessary, as a measure to protect the Company from an uninvited takeover. As of the date of filing, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock have not been issued. Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Holders of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are not entitled to voting rights or dividend rights. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock does not contain any redemption provisions or other provisions requiring cash settlement within control of the holder. Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is senior in liquidation preference to common stock. Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, after 181 days after issuance and without the payment of additional consideration, is convertible at the option of the holder into fifty ( 50 ) fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock. It was determined that the embedded conversion option is clearly and closely related to the equity host, therefore it is not bifurcated and not accounted for as a derivative. During the year ended December 31, 2020, a holder of 515 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock elected to convert their shares into 25,758 shares of common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 698,600 shares of common stock upon the conversion of 13,972 shares of Series B Preferred stock, after which no Series B Convertible Preferred Stock remained outstanding. Series C Convertible Preferred Stock Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is senior in liquidation preference to the Company’s common stock for an amount equal to the stated value per share of $ 10,000 (“Stated Value”). Holders of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall vote on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis with the common stockholders. Holders of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, at an annual rate of twelve percent ( 12 )% beginning one year after each share's issuance. The Company may elect to redeem all or part of each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for the Stated Value. During the year ended December 31, 2020, certain holders of 5.11 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred stock elected to convert their shares into an aggregate of 56,777 shares of common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2020, a Qualified Offering occurred and 18.90 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock were mandatorily converted into an aggregate of 177,885 shares of common stock of the Company and warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 177,855 shares of common stock of the Company. The warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until December 31, 2025, at an exercise price of $ 1.25 per share. As a result of the Series C Preferred Stock having an effective conversion price that was lower than the market price on the commitment date, the Company immediately recognized a beneficial conversion feature of $ 1,691 as a deemed dividend, which increased the net loss attributable to common stockholders. Additionally, since the Company had an accumulated deficit, the impact was equity neutral to its additional paid-in capital. There are no Series C Convertible shares outstanding at December 31, 2021 or 2020. Series D Convertible Preferred Stock On May 19, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with an investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to the investor an aggregate of 650 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock (the “Series D Preferred”) pursuant to a new designation of preferred stock, and one-year warrants to purchase 2,600,000 shares of common stock (the “Warrants”) at a price of $ 2.50 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $ 6,500,000 (the “Offering”). The Company also agreed to pay the investor a commitment fee of 1,300,000 shares of common stock at the closing of the Offering. The closing of the Offering occurred on May 20, 2021. In connection with the closing of the financing, the Company repaid in full its aggregate remaining notes payable obligation of $ 1,400,000 . F-23 Table of Contents KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020 The Series D Preferred have a fixed conversion price of $ 2.05 , are convertible into an aggregate of 3,170,730 shares of common stock and have the right to vote on an as-converted basis. Holders of the Series D Preferred shall be entitled to receive cumulative dividends annually at an annual rate equal to ten percent ( 10 %). Dividends shall be payable in cash or, at the option of the holder of the Series D Preferred, converted into shares of common stock as provided in the certificate of designation for the Series D Preferred. Provided that the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred is registered pursuant to an effective registration statement, the Company shall have the option, but not the obligation, to redeem, in cash, all or part of the Series D Preferred. The Company determined that the Series D Preferred was permanent equity given that there was no redemption provision at the holder’s option and it was determined that the conversion option was clearly and closely related to the equity host, so it didn’t need to be bifurcated. The Company further determined that the $ 10,000 cash structuring fee, debt redemption costs of $ 140,000 , and the remaining notes payable obligation of $ 1,400,000 paid to the investor, would be accounted for as a reduction of the $ 6,500,000 of gross proceeds. The remaining proceeds of $ 6,490,000 were allocated on a relative fair value basis to the Series D Preferred ($ 3,875,675 ), the commitment shares ($ 1,339,582 ) and the Warrant ($ 1,274,743 ). The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the Warrant using the following assumptions: exercise price of $ 2.50 per share, market price of $ 2.05 per share, expected term of 1.0 year, volatility of 142 % and a risk-free interest rate of 0.05 %. Finally, the Company determined that the Series D Preferred had a beneficial conversion feature equal to $ 2,624,326 which is a deemed dividend and represents an adjustment to the numerator in the loss per share calculation. The cash issuance costs of $ 365,000 (inclusive of the $ 10,000 cash structuring fee) were charged to additional paid-in-capital.

In applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Company used the following assumptions: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the Years Ended ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ ​ 2021 2020 ​ Risk free interest rate ​ 0.20 % - 0.85 % ​ 1.58 % Expected term (years) ​ 2.5 - 3.5 ​ 2.50 Expected volatility ​ 93 % - 109 % ​ 93.00 % Expected dividends ​ 0 % ​ 0 % ​ Option forfeitures are accounted for at the time of occurrence. The expected term used is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” employee option grants. The Company does not yet have a trading history to support its historical volatility calculations. Accordingly, the Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatility of comparable entities over a period of time equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the weighted average grant date fair value per share of options was $ 0.80 and $ 0.36 , respectively.
