NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim reports of companies filing as a smaller reporting company. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 filed with the SEC on September 27, 2021. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period. Certain notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K have been omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2021 has been derived from the audited balance sheet at June 30, 2021 contained in such Form 10-K.

Nature of Business

Flux Power Holdings, Inc. (“Flux”) was incorporated in 1998 in the State of Nevada, and Flux’s operations are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiary, Flux Power, Inc. (“Flux Power”), a California corporation (collectively, the “Company”).

We design, develop, manufacture, and sell a portfolio of advanced lithium-ion energy storage solutions for electrification of a range of industrial commercial sectors which include material handling, airport ground support equipment (“GSE”), and stationary energy storage. We believe our mobile and stationary energy storage solutions provide customers with a reliable, high performing, cost effective, and more environmentally friendly alternative as compared to traditional lead acid and propane-based solutions. Our modular and scalable design allows different configurations of lithium-ion battery packs to be paired with our proprietary wireless battery management system to provide the level of energy storage required and “state of the art” real time monitoring of pack performance. We believe that the increasing demand for lithium-ion battery packs and more environmentally friendly energy storage solutions in the material handling sector should continue to drive our revenue growth.

As used herein, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Flux,” and “Company” mean Flux Power Holdings, Inc., unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts herein are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $75,411,000 through December 31, 2021 and a net loss of $5,077,000 and $9,207,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, respectively. To date, the Company’s revenues and operating cash flows have not been sufficient to sustain its operations and the Company has relied on debt and equity financing to fund its operations. Delays in the receipt of key component parts due in part to supply chain disruptions as well as recent changes in the design of the product offering have impacted the Company’s ability to fulfill the backlog of sales orders as planned. These events have placed pressure on the Company’s margins and cash resources and raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months following the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $7,855,000 and may need to raise additional capital in the near future. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to ship open sales orders, improve its margins, reduce operating costs and raise additional capital on a timely basis until such time as revenues and related cash flows are sufficient to fund its operations.

Management has undertaken steps to improve operations with the goal of sustaining its operations. These steps include actual and planned price increases for our energy storage solutions, a number of cost saving initiatives including product cost efficiencies from design changes and planned operating cost savings. In addition, $2.5 million currently remains available under the existing working capital line of credit.

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to liquidate its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts that may differ from those reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. There is no guarantee that additional funds will be available if needed on a timely basis or on acceptable terms. If such funds are not available when required, management will be required to curtail investments in additional sales and marketing and product development, which may have a material adverse effect on future cash flows and results of operations and the ability to continue operating as a going concern.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 3, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. There have been no material changes in these policies or their application.

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Net Loss Per Common Share

The Company calculates basic loss per common share by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted loss per common share includes the impact from all dilutive potential common shares relating to outstanding convertible securities.

For the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 15,987,502 and 11,633,793, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 14,895,989 and 10,647,181, respectively. The Company incurred a net loss for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and therefore, basic and diluted loss per share for the periods were the same because potential common share equivalent would have been anti-dilutive. The total potentially dilutive common shares outstanding at December 31, 2021 and 2020 that were excluded from diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding represent shares underlying outstanding convertible debt, stock options, RSUs, and warrants, and totalled 2,092,851 and 1,562,019, respectively.

NOTE 4 – ACCRUED EXPENSES

Accrued expenses consist of the following:

SCHEDULE OF ACCRUED EXPENSES 

NOTE 5 – NOTES PAYABLE

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On May 1, 2020, the Company applied for and received a loan from the Bank of America, NA (the “BOA”) in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $1,297,000 (the “PPP Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan was evidenced by a promissory note dated May 1, 2020, issued by Flux Power to the BOA (the “PPP Note”). The PPP Loan had a two-year term and bore interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments were deferred for six months after the date of disbursement. The Company received the funds on May 4, 2020. On February 9, 2021, the Company was notified that the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) had forgiven repayment of the entire PPP Loan of approximately $1,297,000 in principal, together with all accrued interest of approximately $10,000. The Company recorded the entire forgiven principal and accrued interest amount of approximately $1,307,000 as other income in its statement of operations on February 9, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance of the PPP Loan was $0.

The SBA reserves the right to audit any PPP loan, regardless of size. These audits may occur after forgiveness has been granted. In accordance with the CARES Act, all borrowers are required to maintain their PPP loan documentation for six years after the PPP loan was forgiven or repaid in full and to provide that documentation to the SBA upon request.

Revolving Line of Credit

On November 9, 2020, the Company entered into a certain Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”). On October 29, 2021, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (“First Amendment” and together with the Loan Agreement, the “Amended Loan Agreement”) with SVB which amended certain terms of the Loan Agreement including, but not limited to, increasing the amount of the revolving line of credit from $4.0 million to $6.0 million, and extending the maturity date to November 7, 2022. The Amended Loan Agreement provides the Company with a senior secured credit facility for up to $6.0 million available on a revolving basis (“Revolving LOC”). Outstanding principal under the Revolving LOC accrues interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) Prime Rate plus two and a half percent (2.50%) or (ii) five and three-quarters percent (5.75%). Interest payments are due on the last day of the month. Should an event of default occur, the interest rate per annum will be increased to five percent (5.0%) above the rate that otherwise would have been applicable to such amounts owed. The Company paid a non-refundable commitment fee of $15,000 upon execution of the Loan Agreement and an additional non-refundable commitment fee of $22,500 in connection with the First Amendment. In addition, the Company is required to pay a quarterly unused facility fee equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum of the average daily unused portion of the $6.0 million commitment under the Revolving LOC, depending upon availability of borrowings under the Revolving LOC.  Amounts outstanding under the Revolving LOC are secured by substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company (including, without limitation, intellectual property) pursuant to the terms of the Amended Loan Agreement and the Intellectual Property Security Agreement dated as of October 29, 2021. As of December 31, 2021 the outstanding balance under the Revolving LOC was $3,500,000 and the remaining available balance was $2,500,000.

NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY DEBT AGREEMENTS

As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the Company had no outstanding related party debt agreements. Related party debt agreements that existed during the 2020 periods covered by the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are described below.

Esenjay Loan

On March 9, 2020, the Company and Esenjay Investments, LLC (“Esenjay”) entered into a certain convertible promissory note (“Original Esenjay Note”) pursuant to which Esenjay provided the Company with a loan in the principal amount of $750,000 (the “Esenjay Loan”). On June 2, 2020, the Original Esenjay Note was amended and restated to (i) extend the maturity date from June 30, 2020 to September 30, 2020, and (ii) to increase the principal amount outstanding under the Original Esenjay Note to $1,400,000 (the “Esenjay Note”).

Between June 26, 2020 and July 22, 2020, Esenjay assigned a total of $900,000 of the Esenjay Note to three (3) accredited investors and the $900,000 note balance was converted into shares of common stock at $4.00 per share, which was the cash price per share, and resulted in the issuance of 225,000 shares of common stock.

On August 31, 2020, the Company entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement and pursuant to which the Company further amended the Esenjay Note to, among other items, transfer all remaining principal and accrued interest outstanding of approximately $564,000 into the amended Credit Facility Agreement. (See “Credit Facility” below).

Credit Facility

On March 22, 2018, Flux Power entered into a credit facility agreement with Esenjay with a maximum borrowing amount of $5,000,000 (the “Original Agreement”). The Original Agreement was amended multiple times to allow for, among other things, an increase in the maximum principal amount available under line of credit (“LOC”) to $12,000,000, the inclusion of additional lenders and extension of the maturity date to September 30, 2021.

In August 2020, the Company paid down an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1,402,000 of the outstanding balance under the LOC. On August 31, 2020, the Company entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement (“Third Amended and Restated Facility Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company (i) extended the maturity date to September 30, 2021, and (ii) allowed for the transfer of outstanding obligations under the Esenjay Note of approximately $564,000 into the LOC as noted above. In November 2020, lenders holding an aggregate of approximately $2,161,000 in principal and accrued interest elected to convert their notes into 540,347 shares of common stock at a price of $4.00 per share. In January and March 2021, the lenders holding an aggregate of approximately $2,632,000 in principal and accrued interest elected to convert their notes into 658,103 shares of common stock at a price of $4.00 per share of which approximately $1,045,000 was held by Esenjay and converted to 261,133 shares of common stock.

On June 10, 2021, the Company repaid all obligations in full and without additional fees or termination penalties, and the Third Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement and the related Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement were terminated.

Cleveland Loan

On July 3, 2019, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Cleveland, pursuant to which Cleveland agreed to loan the Company $1,000,000 (the “Cleveland Loan”) and issued Cleveland an unsecured short-term promissory note in the amount of $1,000,000 (the “Unsecured Promissory Note”). The Unsecured Promissory Note had an interest rate of 15.0% per annum and was originally due on September 1, 2019, unless repaid earlier from a percentage of proceeds from certain identified accounts receivable. In connection with the Cleveland Loan, the Company issued Cleveland a three-year warrant (the “Cleveland Warrant”) to purchase the Company’s common stock in a number equal to 0.5% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to the shares of common stock sold in a contemplated public offering and with an exercise price equal to the per share price of the common stock sold in the public offering.

On September 1, 2019, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Unsecured Promissory Note pursuant to which the maturity date was extended to December 1, 2019 (the “First Amendment”) and the Cleveland Warrant terms were amended (the “Amended Warrant”). The Amended Warrant increased the warrant coverage from 0.5% to 1% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to the shares of common stock sold in the next private or public offering and with an exercise price equal to the per share price of common stock sold in such private or public offering, as the case may be.

On July 9, 2020, the Company made a payment to Cleveland in the amount of $200,000 as a partial payment of the Cleveland Loan. On July 27, 2020, in connection with the outstanding loan from Cleveland to the Company in the principal amount of $957,000, the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment to the Unsecured Promissory Note which extended the maturity date from July 31, 2020 to August 31, 2020, and capitalized all accrued and unpaid interest as of July 27, 2020 to the principal amount.

On December 21, 2020 the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“HCW”) to sell shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”) from time to time, through an “at-the-market offering” program (the “ATM Offering”).

The Company agreed to pay HCW a commission in an amount equal to 3.0% of the gross sales proceeds of the shares sold under the Sales Agreement. In addition, the Company agreed to reimburse HCW for certain legal and other expenses incurred up to a maximum of $50,000 to establish the ATM Offering, and $2,500 per quarter thereafter to maintain such program under the Sales Agreement.

The 2014 Plan offers certain employees, directors, and consultants the opportunity to acquire the Company’s common stock subject to vesting requirements and serves to encourage such persons to remain employed by the Company and to attract new employees. The 2014 Plan allows for the award of common stock and stock options, up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of December 31, 2021, 181,515 shares of the Company’s common stock are available for grant under the 2014 Plan.

On April 29, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan authorizes the issuance of awards for up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock in the form of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards and unrestricted stock awards to officers, directors and employees of, and consultants and advisors to, the Company or its affiliates. As of December 31, 2021, no awards had been granted under the 2021 Plan.

Restricted Stock Units

On November 5, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2014 Plan, to allow for grants of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”). Subject to vesting requirements set forth in the RSU Award Agreement, one share of common stock is issuable for one vested RSU. On November 5, 2020, the Board of Directors authorized the following RSUs to be granted under the amended 2014 Option Plan: (i) a total of 43,527 RSUs to certain executive officers as one-time retention incentive awards, and (ii) a total of 91,338 RSUs to certain key employees as annual equity compensation of which 45,652 were performance-based RSUs and 45,686 were time-based RSUs. On April 29, 2021, an additional 18,312 time-based RSUs were authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors to be granted under the amended 2014 Option Plan. On October 29, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized the following RSUs to be granted under the amended 2014 Option Plan: (i) a total of 97,828 RSUs to certain executive officers of which 48,914 were performance-based RSUs and 48,914 were time-based RSUs, and (ii) a total of 81,786 time-based RSUs to certain other key employees. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions provided in (i) the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement for time-based awards (“Time-based Award Agreement”), and (ii) the Performance Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement for performance-based awards (“Performance-based Award Agreement”).

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 represents the estimated fair value of stock options and RSUs at the time of grant amortized under the straight-line method over the expected vesting period and reduced for estimated forfeitures of options and RSUs. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from original estimates. At December 31, 2021, the aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable stock options was approximately $1,673,000.

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense for employee and non-employee stock option and RSU grants:

 SCHEDULE OF STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSES

At December 31, 2021, the unamortized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding stock options and RSUs was approximately $98,000 and $1,114,000, respectively, and these amounts are expected to be expensed over the weighted-average remaining recognition period of 0.19 years and 2.66 years, respectively.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto and Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

Business Overview

We design, develop, manufacture, and sell a portfolio of advanced lithium-ion energy storage solutions for electrification of a range of industrial commercial sectors which include material handling, airport ground support equipment (“GSE”), and stationary energy storage. We believe our mobile and stationary energy storage solutions provide our customers a reliable, high performing, cost effective, and more environmentally friendly alternative as compared to traditional lead acid and propane-based solutions. Our modular and scalable design allows different configurations of lithium-ion battery packs to be paired with our proprietary wireless battery management system to provide the level of energy storage required and “state of the art” real time monitoring of pack performance. We believe that the increasing demand for lithium-ion battery packs and more environmentally friendly energy storage solutions in the material handling sector should continue to drive our revenue growth.

Our long-term strategy is to meet the rapidly growing demand for lithium-ion energy solutions and to be the supplier of choice, targeting large companies having energy storage needs. We have established selling relationships with large fleets of forklifts and GSEs. We intend to reach this goal by investing in research and development to expand our product mix, by expanding our sales and marketing efforts, improving our customer support efforts and continuing our efforts to improve production capacity and efficiencies. Our research and development efforts will continue to focus on providing adaptable, reliable and cost-effective energy storage solutions for our customers. We have filed three new patents on advanced technology related to lithium-ion battery packs. The technology behind these pending patents are designed to:

Our largest sector of penetration thus far has been the material handling sector which we believe is a multi-billion dollar addressable market. We believe the sector will provide us with an opportunity to grow our business as we enhance our product mix and service levels and grow our sales to large fleets of forklifts and GSEs. Applications of our modular packs for other industrial and commercial uses, such as solar energy storage, are providing additional current growth and further opportunities. We intend to continue to expand our supply chain and customer partnerships and seek further partnerships and/or acquisitions that provide synergy to meeting our growth and “building scale” objectives.

The following table summarizes the new orders, shipments, and backlog activities for the last six (6) fiscal quarters:

“Backlog” represents the amount of anticipated revenues we may recognize in the future from existing contractual orders with customers that are in progress and have not yet shipped. Backlog values may not be indicative of future operating results as orders may be cancelled, modified or otherwise altered by customers. In addition, our ability to realize revenue from our backlog will be dependent on the delivery of key parts from our suppliers and our ability to manufacture and ship our products to customers in a timely manner. There can be no assurance that outstanding customer orders will be fulfilled as expected and that our backlog will result in future revenues. 

As of February 7, 2022, our order backlog was approximately $34.8 million .

Business Updates

Due to the growth in orders for our energy storage solutions and accessories, coupled with supply chain disruptions due to COVID-19 delaying our ability to fulfill such orders, we have experienced an increase in our backlog of open orders.

Supply Chain Issues and Higher Procurement Costs

Due to COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions continue, notably with delivery delays at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. In addition, the price of steel and certain other electrical components used in our products have seen dramatic increases, along with shipping costs. No abatement to these challenges is anticipated within the next several months, and it is impossible to predict how long the current disruptions to price and component parts availability will last. We implemented a price increase on certain new product orders in October of 2021 to offset rising global costs of raw materials and component parts. In addition, we had increased inventory to $19.5 million at December 31, 2021 to mitigate supply chain disruptions and support timely deliveries. However, there can be no assurance that such increases or any future increases will be sufficient to offset continued rising costs.

To address some of the negative consequences to our business, we implemented a number of new strategic initiatives:

Strategic Initiatives.

There can be no assurance that our 2022 initiatives and efforts to mitigate the supply chain issues and rising costs will be successful.

Recent Corporate Developments

New Director Appointment

On January 14, 2022, our Board elected to increase the number of directors on the Board from five (5) to six (6). Immediately thereafter, the Board appointed Ms. Cheemin Bo-Linn to the Company’s Board. In addition, Ms. Bo-Linn was appointed as a member of the Company’s Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (“Committees”). The Board has determined that Ms. Bo-Linn satisfies the definition of “independent director” and the requirements for service on the Board’s Committees under the NASDAQ listing standards. As a result of Ms. Bo-Linn’s appointment on the Committees, each Committee now consists of four (4) independent directors.

Amended Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter

On January 14, 2022, the Board approved amending the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter to reflect that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consist of at least three (3) directors. The amended Nominating and Corporate Governance Charter is posted on the Company’s website www.fluxpower.com.

COVID-19 Update

The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to impact both global and domestic businesses and many economic activities. The COVID-19 pandemic has placed significant pressures on our supply chains causing supply shortages, price increases, and delays in productions. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has also placed additional safety regulations and monitoring measures on companies. The Company began implementing COVID-19 measures in March 2020 as recommended by the CDC and other governmental authorities. The Company has had to navigate staffing requirements as certain employees tested positive for COVID-19. Our manufacturing operations have not yet experienced production stoppages, however, we have experience negative consequences such as disruptions in the supply chain and price increases. Therefore, we remain subject to significant risks of supply shortages, delays in shipping, and price increases that could materially affect our financial condition and operating results.
