BUSINESS ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Pioneer
Power Solutions, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (referred to herein as the “Company,” “Pioneer,” “we,” “our” and “us”) design, manufacture, integrate, refurbish, service, distribute
and sell electric power systems, distributed energy resources, power generation equipment and mobile electric vehicle (“EV”)
charging solutions. Our products and services are sold to a broad range of customers in the utility, industrial and commercial markets.
Our customers include, but are not limited to, electric, gas and water utilities, data center developers and owners, EV charging infrastructure
developers and owners, and distributed energy developers. The Company is headquartered in Fort Lee, New Jersey and operates from three
( 3 ) additional locations in the U.S. for manufacturing, service and maintenance, engineering, sales and administration.
We
have two reportable segments as defined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 11, 2023: Transmission and Distribution Solutions (“T&D Solutions”)
and Critical Power Solutions (“Critical Power”).
Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the SEC and
reflect the accounts of the Company as of March 31, 2023. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), have
been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading to the reader. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows with respect to the interim consolidated financial
statements have been included. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the
entire fiscal year. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures
required by U.S. GAAP for a year-end balance sheet.
All
dollar amounts (except share and per share data) presented in the notes to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are
stated in thousands of dollars, unless otherwise noted. Amounts may not foot due to rounding. ASC 740-270 requires the use of an estimated
annual effective tax rate to compute the tax provision during an interim period unless certain exceptions are met. We have used a discrete-period
computation method to calculate taxes for the fiscal three-month period ended March 31, 2023. The Company anticipates that its annual
effective tax rate will be 0 % for the year ending December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the Company continues to provide a 100 % valuation
allowance against its net deferred tax assets since the Company believes it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will
not be realized.
These
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pioneer and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
These
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the risk factors under the heading “Part
II - Item 1A. Risk Factors” and the risk factors and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company
and its subsidiaries included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Liquidity
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, as of March 31, 2023, the
Company had $ 11.6
million of cash on hand and working capital of $ 14.3
million. The cash on hand was generated primarily from the sale of common stock
under the ATM Program (as defined below) during the year ended December 31, 2021 and payment of all unpaid principal and interest from
the two subordinated promissory notes we received in connection with the sale of the transformer business units in August 2019 for an
aggregate principal amount of $ 7.5 million (the “Seller Notes”) during the year ended December 31, 2022.
We
have met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and bank borrowings, the completion of the Equity
Transaction, proceeds from the sale of the CleanSpark common stock and warrants to purchase CleanSpark common stock, proceeds from insurance,
sale of common stock under the ATM Program, funding from the Payroll Protection Program and collecting all unpaid principal and interest
from the Seller Notes. Our cash requirements historically were generally for operating activities, debt repayment, capital improvements
and acquisitions. We expect to meet our cash needs with our working capital and cash flows from our operating activities. We expect our
cash requirements to be generally for operating activities, product development and capital improvements. The Company expects that its
current cash balance is sufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months.
5
On
December 13, 2021, we filed a prospectus supplement, which forms a part of our registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-249569),
that was declared effective by the SEC on October 27, 2020, in connection with the offer and sale of up to an aggregate offering amount
of $ 8.6 million of common stock that may be issued and sold under the ATM Program. We did not sell any shares of common stock under the
ATM Program during the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, $ 8.6 million of common stock remained available for issuance
under the ATM Program.
Risks
and Uncertainties
The
worldwide spread of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), including the emergence of variants and subvariants, as well as rising
interest rates, inflation, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and geopolitical developments (including the war in Ukraine) have
resulted, and may continue to result, in a global slowdown of economic activity, which may decrease demand for a broad variety of goods
and services, including those provided by the Company’s clients, while also disrupting supply channels, sales channels and advertising
and marketing activities for an unknown period of time until economic activity normalizes. As a result of the current uncertainty in
economic activity, the Company is unable to predict the size and duration of the impact on its revenue and its results of operations.
The extent of the impact of these macroeconomic factors on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on a
variety of factors, including the duration and spread of COVID-19 and its variants and the duration and the extent of geopolitical disruption
and their respective impacts on the Company’s clients, partners, industry, and employees, all of which are uncertain at this time
and cannot be accurately predicted. The Company continues to monitor the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and take steps deemed appropriate
to limit the impact on its business. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company was able to operate substantially at capacity.
The
World Health Organization recently determined that COVID-19 no longer fit the definition of a public health emergency and the U.S. government
has announced that the declaration of a public health emergency associated with COVID-19 expired on May 11, 2023. However, COVID-19 is
expected to remain a serious endemic threat for an indefinite future period. The economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic
has made and may continue to make it difficult for the Company to forecast revenue and operating results and to make decisions regarding
operational cost structures and investments. The Company has committed, and the Company plans to continue to commit, resources to grow
its business, employee base, and technology development, and such investments may not yield anticipated returns, particularly if worldwide
business activity continues to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The duration and extent of the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic
depend on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, and if the Company is not able to respond to and manage
the impact of such events effectively, its business may be harmed.
There
can be no assurance that precautionary measures, whether adopted by the Company or imposed by others, will be effective, and such measures
could negatively affect its sales, marketing, and client service efforts, delay and lengthen its sales cycles, decrease its employees’,
clients’, or partners’ productivity, or create operational or other challenges, any of which could harm its business and
results of operations.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in
the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s
accounting policies during the first quarter of 2023.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
The
Company did not adopt any new material accounting pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2023, except as disclosed below. There have been no recent
accounting pronouncements not yet adopted by the Company which would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Accounts
Receivable
On
January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit
Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” using a modified retrospective approach. The standard
amends several aspects of the measurement of credit losses related to certain financial instruments, including the replacement of the
existing incurred credit loss model and other models with the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model. The cumulative
effect of adoption did not result in an adjustment to the allowance for credit loss, and accordingly, the Company’s accumulated
deficit as of January 1, 2023.
The
Company accounts for trade receivables at original invoice amount less an estimate made for expected credit losses. The Company’s
allowance for expected credit losses on accounts receivable reflects management’s estimate of credit losses over the remaining
expected life of such assets, measured primarily using historical experience, as well as current conditions and forecasts that affect
the collectability of the reported amount. There were no allowances for expected credit losses as of March 31, 2023 and December 31,
2022.

REVENUES
Nature
of our products and services
Our
principal products and services include electric power systems, distributed energy resources, power generation equipment and mobile EV
charging solutions.
Products
Our
T&D Solutions business provides electric power systems and distributed energy resources that help customers effectively and efficiently
protect, control, transfer, monitor and manage their electric energy requirements.
Our
Critical Power business provides customers with our suite of mobile e-Boost electric vehicle charging solutions and power generation
equipment.
Services
Power
generation systems represent considerable investments that require proper maintenance and service in order to operate reliably during
a time of emergency. Our power maintenance programs provide preventative maintenance, repair and support service for our customers’
power generation systems.
Our
principal source of revenue is derived from sales of products and fees for services. We measure revenue based upon the consideration
specified in the customer arrangement, and revenue is recognized when the performance obligations in the customer arrangement are satisfied.
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to the customer. The transaction price
of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as, the customer receives the benefit
of the performance obligation. Customers typically receive the benefit of our products when the risk of loss or control for the product
transfers to the customer and for services as they are performed. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control
of promised products or services in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or
services. To achieve this core principal, the Company applies the following five steps:
1) Identify
the contract with a customer
A
contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s
rights regarding the products or services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these products or services, (ii)
the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for products
or services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The
Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including
the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining
to the customer.
2) Identify
the performance obligations in the contract
Performance
obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the products or services that will be transferred to the customer that are
both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the product or service either on its own or together with other
resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby
the transfer of the products or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes
multiple promised products or services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised products or services are capable
of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised products or services are accounted
for as a combined performance obligation.
3) Determine
the transaction price
The
transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring products
or services to the customer. The customer payments are generally due in 30 days.
7
4) Allocate
the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
If
the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation.
Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation
based on a relative standalone selling price basis. The Company determines standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance
obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the
standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines
related to the performance obligations.
5) Recognize
revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation
The
Company satisfies performance obligations either over time or at a point in time. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance
obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised product or service to a customer.
Revenue
from the sale of our electric power systems is recognized either over time or at a point in time and substantially all of our revenue
from the sale of power generation equipment is recognized at a point in time. Revenues are recognized at the point in time that the customer
obtains control of the good, which is when it has taken title to the products and has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership specified
in the purchase order or sales agreement. Certain sales of highly customized electrical power systems are recognized over time when such
equipment has no alternative use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Revenue for such
agreements is recognized under the input method based on either cost or direct labor hours incurred relative to the estimated cost or
direct labor hours expected to be consumed to complete the project. Under the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition, a single estimated
profit margin is used to recognize profit for each performance obligation over its period of performance. Recognition of profit on a
contract requires estimates of the total cost at completion and transaction price and the measurement of progress towards completion.
Due to the nature of many of our contracts, developing the estimated total cost at completion and total transaction price often requires
judgment. Factors that must be considered in estimating the cost of the work to be completed include the nature and complexity of the
work to be performed, subcontractor performance and the risk and impact of delayed performance. When adjustments in estimated total costs
at completion or in estimated total transaction price are determined, the related impact on income is recognized using the cumulative
catch-up method, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of such adjustments for all prior periods. Any anticipated
losses on these contracts are fully recognized in the period in which the losses become evident.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized $ 2.0 million of revenue over time and incurred costs of $ 1.4 million. During
the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized $ 326 of revenue over time and incurred costs of $ 278 . Additionally, the
Company recognized $ 2.7 million and $ 4.5 million of revenue at a point in time from the sale of our products during the three months
ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Service
revenues include maintenance contracts that are recognized over time based on the contract term and repair services which are recognized
as services are delivered. The Company recognized $ 2.1 million and $ 1.5 million of service revenue during the three months ended March
31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized approximately $ 2.1 million of revenue that was recognized as deferred revenue
at December 31, 2022, as compared to $ 1.9 million of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2022 that was recognized as deferred revenue
at December 31, 2021. There was no revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 from performance obligations
satisfied in prior periods.
The
Company manages its accounts receivable credit risk by performing credit evaluations and monitoring amounts due from the Company’s
customers. 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 of
March 31, 2023, two customers represented approximately 73 % and 10 % of the Company’s accounts receivable. At December 31, 2022,
three customers represented approximately 57 %, 13 % and 11 % of the Company’s accounts receivable.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2023, two customers represented approximately 48 % and 16 % of the Company’s revenue. For the three
months ended March 31, 2022, three customers represented approximately 20 %, 19 % and 12 % of the Company’s revenue.
Return
of a product requires that the buyer obtain permission in writing from the Company. When the buyer requests authorization to return material
for reasons of their own, the buyer will be charged for placing the returned goods in saleable condition, restocking charges and for
any outgoing and incoming transportation paid by the Company. The Company warrants title to the products, and also warrants the products
on date of shipment to the buyer, to be of the kind and quality described in the contract, merchantable, and free of defects in workmanship
and material. Returns and warranties during three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were insignificant.

REVISION OF PRIOR PERIOD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In
connection with the preparation of our consolidated interim financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, we completed
an analysis of one of our customer contracts under ASC 606 and, as a result, we determined that the performance obligations are satisfied
over time. See “Note 3 – Revenues in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in Part I of this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q. As a result of the analysis, we identified additional revenues to be recognized of $ 326 related to the three months ended
March 31, 2022 along with the additional related cost of revenues of $ 278 .
The
following tables reconcile the balances as previously reported in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as of and for the three months ended
March 31, 2022 to the as revised balances:

In
accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, we evaluated this revision based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative
factors as to whether it was material to the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and if amendments
of previously filed financial statements with the SEC are required. We determined that the adjustment is neither quantitatively nor qualitatively
material and, therefore, the revision does not have a material impact to the consolidated statements of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2022 or other prior periods.

BASIC AND DILUTED INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic
and diluted income (loss) per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of vested shares outstanding during the
period. The Company’s employee and director equity awards, as well as incremental shares issuable upon exercise of warrants, are
not considered in the calculations if the effect would be anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and
diluted income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share data):

BUSINESS SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
The
Company follows ASC 280 - Segment Reporting in determining its reportable segments. The Company considered the way its management team,
most notably its chief operating decision maker, makes operating decisions and assesses performance and considered which components of
the Company’s enterprise have discrete financial information available. As the Company makes decisions using a manufactured products
vs. distributed products and services group focus, its analysis resulted in two reportable segments: T&D Solutions and Critical Power.
The Critical Power reportable segment is the Company’s Titan Energy Systems, Inc. business unit. The T&D Solutions reportable
segment is the Company’s Pioneer Custom Electrical Products Corp. business unit.
The
T&D Solutions segment is involved in the design, manufacture and sale of circuit protection and controls equipment used primarily
by large industrial and commercial operations to manage their electrical power distribution needs. The Critical Power segment provides
mobile high capacity charging equipment, power generation equipment and aftermarket field-services in order to help customers secure
fast vehicle charging where fixed charging infrastructure does not exist, and additionally to ensure smooth, uninterrupted power to operations
during times of emergency.

2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The
following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
consolidated interim financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2023.
Unless
the context requires otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “Pioneer,”
“we,” “our” and “us” refer to Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Special
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements,” which include information relating to future events,
future financial performance, financial projections, strategies, expectations, competitive environment and regulation. Words such as
“may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,”
“expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,”
“estimates,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and may not be accurate indications of when such performance
or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information we have when those statements are made or management’s
good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance
or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could
cause such differences include, but are not limited to:
●
General
economic conditions and their effect on demand for electrical equipment, particularly in the commercial construction market, but
also in the power generation, industrial production, data center, oil and gas, marine and infrastructure industries.
●
The
effects of fluctuations in sales on our business, revenues, expenses, net income (loss), income (loss) per share, margins and profitability.
●
Many
of our competitors are better established and have significantly greater resources and may subsidize their competitive offerings
with other products and services, which may make it difficult for us to attract and retain customers.
●
The
potential loss or departure of key personnel, including Nathan J. Mazurek, our chairman, president and chief executive officer.
●
Our
ability to generate internal growth, maintain market acceptance of our existing products and gain acceptance for our new products.
●
Unanticipated
increases in raw material prices or disruptions in supply could increase production costs and adversely affect our profitability.
●
Our
ability to realize revenue reported in our backlog.
●
Operating
margin risk due to competitive pricing and operating efficiencies, supply chain risk, material, labor or overhead cost increases,
interest rate risk and commodity risk.
●
Strikes
or labor disputes with our employees may adversely affect our ability to conduct our business.
●
The
impact of geopolitical activity on the economy, changes in government regulations such as income taxes, climate control initiatives,
the timing or strength of an economic recovery in our markets and our ability to access capital markets.
●
Material
weaknesses in internal controls.
●
Future
sales of large blocks of our common stock may adversely impact our stock price.
●
The
liquidity and trading volume of our common stock.
●
Our
business could be adversely affected by an outbreak of disease, epidemic or pandemic, such as the global coronavirus pandemic, or
similar public threat, or fear of such an event.
The
foregoing does not represent an exhaustive list of matters that may be covered by the forward-looking statements contained herein or
risk factors that we are faced with that may cause our actual results to differ from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements.
Moreover, new risks regularly emerge, and it is not possible for us to predict or articulate all risks we face, nor can we assess the
impact of all risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ from
those contained in any forward-looking statements. Except to the extent required by applicable laws or rules, we undertake no obligation
to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should
review carefully the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q and “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2022 for a discussion of the foregoing and other risks that relate to our business and investing in shares of our common stock.

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our estimates are based on our historical
experience, knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, and on various other factors that we believe are
reasonable under the circumstances. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the SEC on April 11, 2023. There were no material changes to our accounting policies during the three months ended March 31,
2023.

Backlog
Our
backlog is based on firm orders from our customers expected to be delivered in the future, most of which is expected to occur during
the next twelve months. Backlog may vary significantly from reporting period to reporting period due to the timing of customer commitments.
Backlog reflects the amount of revenue we expect to realize upon the shipment of customer orders for our products that are not yet complete
or for which work has not yet begun. At March 31, 2023, backlog from our E-Bloc power systems solutions was approximately $24.4 million,
or 66% of the total backlog.

or 55.2%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to increased sales of our E-Bloc power systems and automatic
transfer switches and a decrease in sales of our medium and low voltage power systems.
Critical
Power . For the three months ended March 31, 2023, revenue for our Critical Power segment increased by $107, or 4.1%, as compared
to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to a reduction in sales of our equipment and an increase in service sales.

customers.

LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General .
On October 20, 2020, we entered into an At the Market Sale Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”),
pursuant to which we may offer and sell our shares of common stock, preferred stock, warrants and/or units of up to $25.0 million from
time to time through Wainwright, acting as sales agent or principal (the “ATM Program”). As of March 31, 2023, we had $11.6
million of cash on hand generated primarily from the sale of common stock under the ATM Program during the year ended December 31, 2021,
payment of all unpaid principal and interest from the Seller Notes during the year ended December 31, 2022 and cash flows from operating
activities. We have met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and bank borrowings, proceeds from
the sale of the CleanSpark Common Stock and warrants to purchase CleanSpark Common Stock, proceeds from insurance, the sale of common
stock under the ATM Program, funding from the Payroll Protection Program and collecting all unpaid principal and interest from the Seller
Notes. Our cash requirements historically were generally for operating activities, capital improvements and acquisitions.
19
On
December 13, 2021, we filed a prospectus supplement, which forms a part of our registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-249569),
that was declared effective by the SEC on October 27, 2020, in connection with the offer and sale of up to an aggregate offering amount
of $8.6 million of common stock that may be issued and sold under the ATM Program. We did not sell any shares of common stock under the
ATM Program during the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, $8.6 million of common stock remained available for issuance
under the ATM Program.
The
worldwide spread of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), including the emergence of variants and subvariants, as well as rising
interest rates, inflation, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and geopolitical developments (including the war in Ukraine) have
resulted, and may continue to result, in a global slowdown of economic activity, which may decrease demand for a broad variety of goods
and services, including those provided by the Company’s clients, while also disrupting supply channels, sales channels and advertising
and marketing activities for an unknown period of time until economic activity normalizes. As a result of the current uncertainty in
economic activity, the Company is unable to predict the size and duration of the impact on its revenue and its results of operations.
The extent of the impact of these macroeconomic factors on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on a
variety of factors, including the duration and spread of COVID-19 and its variants and the duration and the extent of geopolitical disruption
and their respective impacts on the Company’s clients, partners, industry, and employees, all of which are uncertain at this time
and cannot be accurately predicted. The Company continues to monitor the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and take steps deemed appropriate
to limit the impact on its business. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company was able to operate substantially at capacity.
The World Health Organization recently determined that COVID-19 no longer
fit the definition of a public health emergency, and the U.S. government has announced that the declaration of a public health emergency
associated with COVID-19 expired on May 11, 2023. However, COVID-19 is expected to remain a serious endemic threat for an indefinite future
period. The economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has made and may continue to make it difficult for the Company to forecast
revenue and operating results and to make decisions regarding operational cost structures and investments. The Company has committed,
and the Company plans to continue to commit, resources to grow its business, employee base, and technology development, and such investments
may not yield anticipated returns, particularly if worldwide business activity continues to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The
duration and extent of the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic depend on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this
time, and if the Company is not able to respond to and manage the impact of such events effectively, its business may be harmed.
There
can be no assurance that precautionary measures, whether adopted by the Company or imposed by others, will be effective, and such measures
could negatively affect its sales, marketing, and client service efforts, delay and lengthen its sales cycles, decrease its employees’,
clients’, or partners’ productivity, or create operational or other challenges, any of which could harm its business and
results of operations.
Cash
Provided by Operating Activities . Cash provided by our operating activities was $1.5 million during the three months ended March
31, 2023, as compared to $2.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease
in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to working capital fluctuations.
Cash
Used in Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $194, as compared
to cash used in our investing activities of $112 during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Additions to property and equipment during
the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $194, as compared to $112 additions during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Cash
Used in Financing Activities. Cash used in our financing activities was $71 during the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared
to $31 during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The primary use of cash in financing activities for the three months ended March
31, 2023 and 2022 was repayments of financing leases.
Working
Capital . As of March 31, 2023, we had working capital of $14.3 million, including $11.6 million of cash on hand, compared to working
capital of $14.1 million, including $10.3 million of cash on hand at December 31, 2022.
Assessment
of Liquidity . At March 31, 2023, we had $11.6 million of cash on hand generated primarily from the sale of common stock under the
ATM Program during the year ended December 31, 2021, payment of all unpaid principal and interest from the Seller Notes during the year
ended December 31, 2022 and cash flows from operating activities. We have met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from
operating activities and bank borrowings, proceeds from the sale of the CleanSpark Common Stock and warrants to purchase CleanSpark Common
Stock, proceeds from insurance, sale of common stock under the ATM Program, funding from the Payroll Protection Program and collecting
all unpaid principal and interest from the Seller Notes. Our cash requirements historically were generally for operating activities,
capital improvements and acquisitions.
20
We
expect to meet our cash needs with our working capital and cash flows from our operating activities. We expect our cash requirements
to be generally for operating activities, capital improvements and product development. We expect that product development and promotional
activities related to our new initiatives will continue in the near future and we expect to continue to incur costs related to such activities.
We expect that our cash balance is sufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months.
As
of March 31, 2023, we had no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), or other relationships
with unconsolidated entities or other persons that had, or that may have, a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Capital
Expenditures
The
Company had $194 of additions to property and equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $112 of additions
to property and equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Known
Trends, Events, Uncertainties and Factors That May Affect Future Operations
We believe that our future operating results will continue to be subject
to quarterly variations based upon a wide variety of factors, including the cyclical nature of the electrical equipment industry and the
markets for our products and services. Our operating results could also be impacted by changing customer requirements and exposure to
fluctuations in prices of important raw supplies, such as copper, steel and aluminum. We have various insurance policies, including cybersecurity,
covering risks in amounts that we consider adequate. In addition to these measures, we attempt to recover other cost increases through
improvements to our manufacturing efficiency and through increases in prices where competitively feasible. Lastly, other economic conditions
we cannot foresee may affect customer demand. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the Omicron variant of COVID-19 and the subvariant,
BA.2, and the ongoing effects of COVID-19, are currently indeterminable and rapidly evolving, and has affected and may continue to affect
our operations and the global economy. In addition, the consequences of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, including related
sanctions and countermeasures, and the effects of rising global inflation, are difficult to predict, and could adversely impact geopolitical
and macroeconomic conditions, the global economy, and contribute to increased market volatility, which may in turn adversely affect our
business and operations. We predominately sell to customers in the industrial production and commercial construction markets. Accordingly,
changes in the condition of any of our customers may have a greater impact than if our sales were more evenly distributed between different
end markets. For a further discussion of factors that may affect future operating results see the sections entitled “Special Note
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”)
and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of March 31, 2023.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in the
reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Based on this evaluation, and as a result of the material weakness described below, our
CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2023. In light of this determination,
our management has performed additional analyses, reconciliations, and other post-closing procedures and has concluded that, notwithstanding
the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
for the periods covered by and included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly state, in all material respects, our financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Material
Weakness
As
of December 31, 2022, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting due to not having the appropriate controls
in place over our revenue recognition process for nonroutine and complex revenue transactions in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue
from Contracts with Customers”, which continued to exist as of March 31, 2023.
In
order to remediate this material weakness, management has expanded and improved our process for reviewing customer contracts and revenue
recognition inputs, including through the engagement of third-party accounting professionals with expertise in evaluating customer contracts
to obtain guidance on large and/or unique contracts in order to ensure that ASC 606 is accurately applied and documented.
Although
we have begun implementing the enhancements described above at the end of 2022 and have been continuing our remediation efforts through
the first quarter of 2023, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient
period of time and management has concluded that these controls are operating effectively.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal control
over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
