ITEM
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
unaudited 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, 2023, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July
26, 2024.
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.
U.S.
dollars are reported in thousands except for share and per share amounts .
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 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.
●
Our
ability to remediate the material weaknesses identified in our internal control over financial reporting in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, or inability to otherwise maintain an effective system of internal control.
●
The
effect that the restatement of the prior financial statements could have on investor confidence in us and raise reputational risk.
●
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.
●
Our
ability to regain and maintain compliance with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.
●
Risks
associated with litigation and claims, which could impact our financial results and condition.
15
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, 2023, for a discussion of the foregoing and other risks that relate to our business and investing in shares of our common
stock.

Critical
Accounting Estimates
Our
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements
requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 26, 2024. There were no material changes
to our accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

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. As of June 30, 2024, backlog from our E-Bloc power systems and related equipment was approximately
$12,523, or 19% of the total backlog.

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 from time to time through Wainwright, acting as sales agent or principal
(the “ATM Program”). As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $6,512 of cash on hand generated primarily from the sale of common
stock under the ATM Program. Since October 20, 2020, and through June 30, 2024, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,835,616 shares of
common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $14,051, before any sales agent fees and expenses payable by us under the
ATM Program. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold an aggregate of 919,557 shares of common stock for an aggregate
consideration of approximately $5,147, before any sales agent fees and expenses payable by the Company under the ATM Program. As of June
30, 2024, $69,853 of common stock remained available for issuance under the ATM Program.
The
continuing impacts of the rising interest rates, inflation, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and geopolitical developments,
such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, 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 our clients, while also disrupting supply channels, sales channels and advertising and marketing activities for an
unknown period of time. As a result of the current uncertainty in economic activity, we are unable to predict the potential size and
duration of the impact on our revenue and our results of operations, if any. The extent of the potential impact of these macroeconomic
factors on our operational and financial performance will depend on a variety of factors, including the extent of geopolitical disruption
and its impact on our clients, partners, industry, and employees, all of which are uncertain at this time and cannot be accurately predicted.
We continue to monitor the effects of these macroeconomic factors and intends to take steps deemed appropriate to limit the impact on
our business. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we were able to operate substantially at capacity.
There
can be no assurance that precautionary measures, whether adopted by us or imposed by others, will be effective, and such measures could
negatively affect our sales, marketing, and client service efforts, delay and lengthen our sales cycles, decrease our employees’,
clients’, or partners’ productivity, or create operational or other challenges, any of which could harm our business and
results of operations.
Cash
(Used in)/ Provided by Operating Activities . Cash used in our operating activities was $1,379 during the six months ended June 30,
2024, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $366 during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The
increase in cash used in operating activities is primarily due to the increase in our net loss and working capital fluctuations.

Cash
Used in Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024, was $614, as compared
to $810 during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Additions to property and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2024, were
$614, as compared to $810 of additions during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Cash
Provided by/ (Used in) Financing Activities. Cash provided by our financing activities was $4,923 during the six months ended June
30, 2024, as compared to cash used in financing activities of $228 during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in cash provided
by financing activities is primarily due to the sale of common stock under the ATM Program.
Working
Capital . As of June 30, 2024, we had working capital of $11,140, including $6,512 of cash on hand, compared to working capital of
$9,421, including $3,582 of cash on hand as of December 31, 2023.
Assessment
of Liquidity . As of June 30, 2024, we had $6,512 of cash on hand generated primarily from the sale of common stock under the ATM
Program. We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and bank borrowings, the
completion of the sale of the transformer business units in August 2019, sale of common stock under the ATM Program and collecting all
unpaid principal and interest from the Seller Notes. Historically, our cash requirements 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 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 from the date our unaudited consolidated
financial statements are issued.
As
of June 30, 2024, 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 $614 of additions to property and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $810 of additions to
property and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
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. In addition,
the consequences of the ongoing geopolitical conflicts, such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the ongoing conflict
between Israel and Hamas, 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.
