NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND RISKS AND UNCERTANTIES

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 Department of Defense ("DOD") applications, such as satellite communications, directed energy systems and hypersonic vehicles, and applying them to mass market commercial applications, such as lithium-ion battery energy storage, electric vehicles, 5G communication, cloud computer infrastructure, consumer and industrial devices.

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, 2022 and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2022 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, 2021 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-K on March 28, 2022.

Risks and Uncertainties

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19, a novel strain coronavirus, a pandemic. During 2020 and continuing into 2022, the global economy has been, and continues to be, affected by COVID-19. While the Company continues to see signs of economic recovery as certain governments begin to gradually ease restrictions, provide economic stimulus and accelerate vaccine distribution, the rate of recovery on a global basis has been affected by resurgence of the virus or its variants in certain jurisdictions. For example, in response to an outbreak of infection in Shanghai, beginning in March 2022 governmental authorities in China implemented a lockdown order in that city, significantly slowing economic and business activity in that region. We continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and guidance from international and domestic authorities and may take additional actions based on their recommendations and requirements or as we otherwise see fit to protect the health and safety of our employees, customers, partners and suppliers.

The full extent of the future impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and financial condition is uncertain. Accordingly, COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects during 2022 and beyond, including the demand for its products, interruptions to supply chains, ability to maintain regular research and development and manufacturing schedules as well as the capability to meet customer demands in a timely manner. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Since the date of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies, except as disclosed in this note.

Liquidity

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cash of $10,132,676 and working capital of $9,975,086. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $4,136,555 and used cash in operations of approximately $4,574,490. During April 2022, the Company received an aggregate of $2,933,157 of gross proceeds upon the exercise of warrants. On May 13, 2022, the Company issued a $5,000,000 promissory note to an investor for gross proceeds of $4,750,000. On the same date, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement, which gives the Company the right, but not the obligation, to sell up to $50,000,000 of its shares of common stock to the same investor during the commitment period. See Note 10 – Subsequent Events for additional information on the aforementioned transactions. 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, is sufficient in comparison to its anticipated cash usage for a period of at least twelve months after the filing date of these 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

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consisted primarily of cash, accounts receivable, revenue and accounts payable.

Cash Concentrations

A significant portion of the Company’s cash is held at one major financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Cash held in US bank institutions is currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 at each institution. There were uninsured balances of $9,709,169 and $5,659,918 as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Customer and Revenue Concentrations

The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company's total revenue, or whose accounts receivable balances individually represented 10% or more of the Company's total accounts receivable, as follows:


	Revenues				Accounts Receivable
	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,				As of		As of
	2022		2021		March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Customer A	*		*		*		34	%
Customer B	43	%	*		*		*
Customer C	37	%	51	%	50	%	42	%

Customer E	*		23	%	*		*
Total	80	%	88	%	50	%	97	%

*	Less than 10%

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

There is no assurance the Company will continue to receive significant revenues from any of these customers. Any reduction or delay in operating activity from any of the Company’s significant customers, or a delay or default in payment by any significant customer, or termination of agreements with significant customers, could materially harm the Company’s business and prospects. As a result of the Company’s significant customer concentrations, its gross profit and results from operations could fluctuate significantly due to changes in political, environmental, or economic conditions, or the loss of, reduction of business from, or less favorable terms with any of the Company’s significant customers.

Vendor Concentrations

Vendor concentrations are as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively:


	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2022		2021
Vendor A	69	%	*
Vendor B	*		26	%
Vendor C	14	%	*
Vendor D	*		67	%
	83	%	93	%

*	Less than 10%

Inventory

Inventory is comprised of carbon fiber velvet ("CFV") thermal interface solutions and internal short circuit batteries, which are available for sale. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The cost of inventory that is sold to third parties is included within cost of sales and the cost of inventory that is given as samples is included within operating expenses. The Company periodically reviews for slow-moving, excess or obsolete inventories. Products that are determined to be obsolete, if any, are written down to net realizable value.

Inventory at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was comprised of the following:


	March 31,		December 31,
	2022		2021
Work-in-process	$	84,410	$	5,500
Finished goods		202,918		185,811
Total inventory	$	287,328	$	191,311

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;

Table of Contents

KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

●

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

●

Step 3: Determine the transaction price;

●

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

●

Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company recognizes revenue primarily from the following different types of contracts:

●

Product sales – Revenue is recognized at the point in time the customer obtains control of the goods and the Company satisfies its performance obligation, which is generally at the time it ships the product to the customer.

●

Contract services – Revenue is recognized at the point in time that the Company satisfies its performance obligation under the contract, which is generally at the time the services are fulfilled and/or accepted by the customer.

The following table summarizes the Company’s revenue recognized in its consolidated statements of operations:


	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2022		2021
Product sales	$	172,599	$	178,249
Contract services		27,900		239,656
Total revenue	$	200,499	$	417,905

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, the Company had $20,000 and $132,303 of deferred revenue, respectively, from contracts with customers. The contract liabilities represent payments received from customers for which the Company had not yet satisfied its performance obligation under the contract, or the customers have not officially accepted the goods or services provided under the contract. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized $112,303 of revenues that were included in deferred revenue in a previous period.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, there was no revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $101,868 and $84,324, respectively, 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 October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10 “Codification Improvements”, which improves consistency by amending the Codification to include all disclosure guidance in the appropriate disclosure sections and clarifies application of various provisions in the Codification by amending and adding new headings, cross referencing to other guidance, and refining or correcting terminology. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2020-10 effective January 1, 2022 and its adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. This new standard provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Issuers should apply the new standard prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring after the effective date of the new standard. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an issuer elects to early adopt the new standard in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company adopted ASU 2021-04 effective January 1, 2022 and its adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of KULR Technology Group, Inc. ("KULR") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, KULR Technology Corporation (“KTC”) (collectively referred to as “KULR” or the “Company”) as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. References in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to “us”, “we”, “our” and similar terms refer to the Company. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains statements that are forward-looking. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risk, uncertainties and other factors. These statements are often identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” or “continue,” and similar expressions or variations. Actual results could differ materially because of the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, and other factors that we may not know.

Overview

KULR Technology Group, Inc., through our wholly-owned subsidiary KULR Technology Corporation, develops and commercializes high-performance thermal management technologies for batteries, electronics, and other components across an array of battery-powered applications. For aerospace and Department of Defense (“DOD”) applications, our solutions target high performance applications in direct energy, hypersonic vehicles and satellite communications. For commercial applications, our main focus is a total solution to battery safety and sustainability by which we aim to mitigate the effects of thermal runaway propagation which has been known to cause random fires in lithium-ion (“Li-ion”) batteries. This total battery safety solution can be used for electric vehicles, energy storage, battery recycling transportation, cloud computing and 5G communication devices. Our proprietary core technology is a carbon fiber material that provides what we believe to be superior thermal conductivity and heat dissipation for an ultra-lightweight and pliable material. By leveraging our proprietary cooling solutions that have been developed through longstanding partnerships with advanced technology users like NASA, the Jet Propulsion Lab and others, our products and services make commercial battery powered products safer and electronics systems cooler and lighter.

KULR’s business model continues to evolve from being a component supplier, to providing more design and testing services to our customers. The next step of evolution is to provide total system solutions to address market needs. In order to scale up as a systems provider more quickly and efficiently in (i) the Li-ion battery energy storage and recycling markets, (ii) battery cell design and safety testing, and (iii) advanced thermal management systems, such as hypersonic vehicles, KULR will actively seek partners for joint venture, technology licensing and other strategic partnership models. The goal is to leverage the Company’s thermal design technology expertise to create market leading products, which KULR will take to market directly to capture more value for KULR shareholders.

During Q1’22, we experienced significant impact to our business due to the COVID-19 lockdown in China. We had over $325,000 worth of inventory that we had built that could have been recognized as revenue in the first quarter but ended up not being shipped due to the COVID-19 lockdown. We are happy to report that these products have been shipped to the customer when the lockdown eased a bit. Much of the COVID-related challenges have meant delays in product shipment, not cancellations, so as restrictions ease in the coming months, we expect to make up for lost time and revenue as we move through our sizeable inventory.

As a core part of our growth strategy aimed at providing total system solutions that address market needs, KULR has secured a financing facility allowing us access to $55M in additional capital for procuring battery cell supplies and other key materials, as well as securing supply chain and manufacturing capacities in North America. The Company is working to secure inventory allocations in anticipation of ongoing demand from its key end markets. In total, KULR expects to procure lithium-ion battery cells providing up to 500-megawatt hours (“MWh”) of energy capacity, enough to power approximately 40,000 homes using currently available domestic energy storage options. Within applications for the energy storage and e-mobility markets, the battery cell supplies would equate to our estimation of revenue opportunity of $250-$350 million, although no assurances can be made of our actual acquisition of cells providing such opportunities or that those opportunities will provide such revenues. To further control supply chain and manufacturing costs and risks, the Company also intends to use these funds to bring much of its production capabilities to North America.

We have not yet achieved profitability and expect to continue to incur cash outflows from operations. As a result, we will eventually need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability. Until that time, we shall have to continue to raise cash, as and when required, through equity or debt financings.

Recent Developments

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19, a novel strain coronavirus, a pandemic. During 2020 and continuing into 2022, the global economy has been, and continues to be, affected by COVID-19. While the Company continues to see signs of economic recovery as certain governments begin to gradually ease restrictions, provide economic stimulus and accelerate vaccine distribution, the rate of recovery on a global basis has been affected by resurgence of the virus or its variants in certain jurisdictions. Although recent cases and deaths from the COVID-19 pandemic have generally declined in the United States, spread of COVID-19 in China recently resulted in a temporary lockdown covering all of Shanghai, China where our manufacturing partner has its headquarter. During this period, we saw significant inventory buildup in China and we were unable to recognize over $325,000 in revenue in the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022, which inventory buildup was caused by delays in shipment to customers that could not be completed during the COVID-19 lockdown in China. We are now taking active steps to direct our production and supply chain activities to North America to geographically diversify and potentially reduce further COVID-19 impacts.

The full extent of the future impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and financial condition is uncertain. Accordingly, COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects during 2022 and beyond, including the demand for its products, interruptions to supply chains, ability to maintain regular research and development and manufacturing schedules, as well as the capability to meet customer demands in a timely manner. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Financing Activities

On May 13, 2022, we entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”). Pursuant to the SEPA, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Yorkville up to $50,000,000 of its shares of common stock any time during the commitment period commencing on May 13, 2022 and terminating on the earliest of (i) the first day of the month following the 24-month anniversary of the SEPA and (ii) the date on which Yorkville shall have made payment of any advances requested pursuant to the SEPA for shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the commitment amount of $50,000,000. Each sale the Company requests (an “Advance”) may be for a number of shares of common stock with an aggregate value of up to $5,000,000. The shares would be purchased at 98.0% of the Market Price (as defined in the SEPA) and would be subject to certain limitations. The Company agreed to file a prospectus supplement dated May 13, 2022 to the Company’s prospectus filed as part of the Registration Statement on Form S-3 that was declared effective on July 13, 2021. Concurrently with the SEPA, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with Yorkville, pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investor a promissory note with an initial principal amount equal to $5,000,000 (the “Promissory Note”) for which the Company received gross proceeds of $4,750,000. The Promissory Note carries an interest rate of 10% per annum and is payable in five monthly installments beginning on June 13, 2022.

The foregoing is a summary description of certain terms of the SEPA, Note Purchase Agreement and Promissory Note. For a full description of all terms, please refer to the copies of the SEPA, the Note Purchase Agreement and the Promissory Note that are filed as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 16, 2022 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company generated $172,599 of revenues in connection with 11 product sales completed during the first quarter of 2022 for the sales of our component product, carbon fiber velvet (“CFV”) thermal management solution, internal short circuit (“ISC”) battery cells and devices, patented TRS technology, and thermal fiber thermal interface (“FTI”) materials. Due to mandated COVID-19 lockdowns in China, we were unable to ship certain finished goods which significantly affected product revenues recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022. We expect the lockdown protocols to be lifted and our products to ship during the three months ended June 30, 2022, at which time we will recognize revenue of $325,000 related to affected sales. As a result of the restrictions and loss of flexibility we experienced during this period we are looking at bringing a portion of our manufacturing process back home to our US facility. We anticipate that the improvements in logistic flexibility and response times will more than offset increases in assembly labor cost, if any, and enable us to better support our US customers while maintaining our gross margins.

Revenue from contract services during the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased by approximately $211,756 or 88% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. Three large DOD contracts received during the first quarter of 2021 generated $233,656 of revenues. Our service revenues, which include certain research and development contracts and onsite engineering services, have not been hampered by restrictions arising from working under COVID-19 shelter-in-place regulations.

Our customers and prospective customers are large organizations with multiple levels of management, controls/procedures, and contract evaluation/authorization. Furthermore, our solutions are new and do not necessarily fit into pre-existing patterns of purchase commitment. Accordingly, the business activity cycle between expression of initial customer interest to shipping, acceptance and billing can be lengthy, unpredictable, and lumpy, which can influence the timing, consistency and reporting of sales growth.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consisted of the cost of our products as well as labor expenses directly related to product sales or research contract services.

Generally, we earn greater margins on revenue from products as compared to revenue from services, so product mix plays an important part in our reported average margins for any period. Also, we are introducing new products at an early stage in our development cycle and the margins earned can vary significantly between periods, customers and products due to the learning process, customer negotiating strengths, and product mix.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, cost of revenues was $122,918 and $275,268, respectively, representing a decrease of $152,350, or 55%. The decrease was primarily due to decreased costs as a result of decreased revenues. The gross margin percentage was 39% and 34% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in margins realized during the three months ended March 31, 2022 is primarily attributable to two service contracts that resulted in low gross margins of 15% and 13% during the first and second quarters of 2021, respectively.

Research and Development

Research and development (“R&D”) includes expenses incurred in connection with the R&D of our CFV thermal management solution, high-areal-capacity battery electrodes, 3D engineering for a rechargeable battery and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses. Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, R&D expenses were $721,347 and $122,983, respectively, representing an increase of $598,364 or 487%. The increase during 2022 was comprised primarily of $273,051 related to an increase in employee headcount spent on R&D and three new projects for automation, battery and drone design initiated in 2021, $168,443 related to software engineering services, $147,995 related to product development for high-areal capacity battery electrodes and 3D-engineering for solid state rechargeable batteries, $30,000 related to cell check design services, and $23,151 related to drone engineering services.

We expect that our R&D expenses will increase as we expand our future operations.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses consisted primarily of stock-based compensation, payroll taxes and other benefits, consulting fees, registration fees, office expenses, rent expense, directors and officers insurance, travel and entertainment, marketing and advertising, and filing fees.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,534,923 and $1,492,811, respectively, an increase of $2,042,112, or 137%. The increase is primarily due to increases of approximately $854,243 for stock-based compensation issued to employees and consultants, $530,314 in labor costs as a result of 25 new hires during the last twelve months, $185,557 for consulting contractor services, $114,603 for NYSE registration fees, $110,888 for office expenses and supplies, $58,483 for rent expense due to the execution of a new operating lease agreement during the period, $28,654 for directors and officers insurance, $24,262 for travel and entertainment due to the lifting of COVID-19 dining and travel restrictions, $20,399 for expanded marketing and advertising expenses, and $14,049 for filing fees.

Other Income (Expense)

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, other income (expense) was $42,134 and ($241,566), respectively, representing a change of $283,700 or 117%. The change is primarily attributable to the change in fair value of accrued issuable equity of $175,617 and the decrease in the amortization of debt discount recorded in connection with notes payable issued in 2020 of $108,124.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2022 and December 2021, we had cash balances of $10,132,676 and $14,863,301, respectively, and working capital of $9,975,086 and $13,302,935, respectively.

On May 13, 2022, the Company issued a $5,000,000 Promissory Note to an investor for gross proceeds of $4,750,000. On the same date, the Company entered into the SEPA which gives the Company the right, but not the obligation, to sell up to $50,000,000 of its shares of common stock to the same investor during the commitment period. See Financing Activities under Recent Developments above for additional details.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, cash used in operating activities was $4,574,490 and $1,663,385, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2020, cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $92,754 and ($1,050,000), respectively. Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was due to proceeds from the exercise of warrants of $87,679 and proceeds from the exercise of options of $5,075. Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was due to repayments of notes payable of $1,050,000.

Future cash requirements for our current liabilities include approximately $1,758,786 for accounts payable and accrued expenses (including lease liabilities) and $155,226 related to our PPP loan, for which we have applied for forgiveness. The Company has also committed to spend $970,546 related to capital expenditures for the construction of a new automation facility, $867,224 for automation and testing equipment, $586,286 for research and development, and $450,000 related to a sponsorship agreement. Cash requirements for long term liabilities consist of $267,900 for lease payments, and $148,049 for research and development. The Company intends to meet these cash requirements from its current cash balance, proceeds from the SEPA and from future revenues.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19, a novel strain coronavirus, a pandemic. During 2020 and continuing into 2022, the global economy has been, and continues to be, affected by COVID-19. While the Company continues to see signs of economic recovery as certain governments begin to gradually ease restrictions, provide economic stimulus and accelerate vaccine distribution, the rate of recovery on a global basis has been affected by resurgence of the virus or its variants in certain jurisdictions. The Company continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on its business and operational assumptions; however, given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the potential future spread or mitigation of the Coronavirus and around the imposition or relaxation of protective measures, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact to our future results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

The short and long-term worldwide implications of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are difficult to predict at this time. The imposition of sanctions on Russia by the United States or other countries and possible counter sanctions by Russia, and the resulting economic impacts on oil prices and other materials and goods, could affect the price of materials used in the manufacture of our product candidates. If the price of materials used in the manufacturing of our product candidates increase, that would adversely affect our business and the results of our operations.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements between us and any other entity that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on financial conditions, changes in financial conditions, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, our management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting whereas we did not design or maintain effective controls to ensure that there is an independent review and approval of electronic payments (wires, EFT’s, ACH’s and credit card payments) as our policy of providing timely support to ensure completeness and accuracy of the payment was not followed which continued to exist as of March 31, 2022. We are currently in the process of implementing a detailed plan for remediation of the material weakness, including developing and maintaining preventative controls around the electronic payment process to ensure proper segregation of duties.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except as disclosed above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over current or future financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations of the Effectiveness of Controls

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
