KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
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 both, high performance aerospace and United States Department of Defense (“DOD”) applications, such as space exploration, satellite communications, and underwater 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.
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 March 31, 2023 and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2023 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, 2022 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-K on March 28, 2023. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Since the date of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies, except as disclosed in this note.
Liquidity
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $ 7,186,034 and working capital of $ 414,334 . For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $ 6,602,861 and used cash in operations of $ 4,759,039 .
Subsequent to the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company issued 493,972 shares of common stock in satisfaction of the Initial Advance liability in the amount of $ 350,000 and interest accrued through March 2023 in the amount of $ 20,479 (see Note 8, Prepaid Advance Liability). As a result, $ 345,376 of Prepaid Advance Liability at March 31, 2023 (consisting of $ 350,000 of Initial Advance balance, plus $ 18,421 original issue discount, less $ 23,045 of unamortized debt discount), is classified as a non-current liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
The Company’s primary source of liquidity has historically been cash generated from equity and debt offerings. Under ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”), the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The above conditions are indicators that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as the Company has a history of recurring net losses, recurring use of cash in operations and declining working capital. Despite these conditions, the Company has a successful track record of raising capital as needed and continues to have a positive, ongoing relationship with a financial institution that has provided access to capital and will continue to support KULR. Accordingly, management’s plans alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
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, combined with the cash availability pursuant to the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement described in Note 8, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months after the filing date of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Balances 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 $ 6,686,034 and $ 9,709,169 as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, 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:

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 of 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.

Inventory
Inventory is comprised of carbon fiber velvet (“CFV”) thermal interface solutions and internal short circuit batteries, which are available for sale, as well as raw materials and work in process related primarily to the manufacture of safe cases. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the standard costing method, which approximates cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. 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. Finished goods inventory is held on-site at the Company’s San Diego, California location. Certain raw materials are held off-site with our contract manufacturers.
Inventory at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was comprised of the following:

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;
10
Table of Contents
KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
● 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations:

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. The Company expects to satisfy the remaining performance obligations related to its deferred revenue balance within the next twelve months. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, there was no revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $ 34,402 of deferred labor costs, which is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s unaudited condensed 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.
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.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This update requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Since June 2016, the FASB issued clarifying updates to the new standard including changing the effective date for smaller reporting companies. The guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2023, using the modified retrospective approach and it did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
