NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization and Operations

KULR Technology Group, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, KULR Technology Corporation (collectively referred to as “KULR” or the “Company”), develops and commercializes high-performance thermal management technologies for electronics, batteries, and other components across a range of applications. Currently, the Company is focused on targeting both, high performance aerospace and United States Department of Defense (“DOD”) applications, such as space exploration, satellite communications, and underwater vehicles, and applying them to mass market commercial applications, such as lithium-ion battery energy storage, electric vehicles, 5G communication, cloud computer infrastructure, consumer and industrial devices.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2023 and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2023 or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related disclosures as of December 31, 2022 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-K on March 28, 2023. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Since the date of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies, except as disclosed in this note.

Liquidity

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $7,186,034 and working capital of $414,334. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $6,602,861 and used cash in operations of $4,759,039.

Subsequent to the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company issued 493,972 shares of common stock in satisfaction of the Initial Advance liability in the amount of $350,000 and interest accrued through March 2023 in the amount of $20,479 (see Note 8, Prepaid Advance Liability). As a result, $345,376 of Prepaid Advance Liability at March 31, 2023 (consisting of $350,000 of Initial Advance balance, plus $18,421 original issue discount, less $23,045 of unamortized debt discount), is classified as a non-current liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The Company’s primary source of liquidity has historically been cash generated from equity and debt offerings. Under ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”), the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The above conditions are indicators that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as the Company has a history of recurring net losses, recurring use of cash in operations and declining working capital. Despite these conditions, the Company has a successful track record of raising capital as needed and continues to have a positive, ongoing relationship with a financial institution that has provided access to capital and will continue to support KULR. Accordingly, management’s plans alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

While the Company anticipates it will continue to incur operating losses and use cash in operating activities for the foreseeable future, the Company believes that its current working capital, combined with the cash availability pursuant to the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement described in Note 8, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months after the filing date of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, together with amounts disclosed in the related notes to the financial statements. The Company’s significant estimates used in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, fair value calculations for equity securities, stock-based compensation and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

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

Cash Concentrations

A significant portion of the Company’s cash is held at one major financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Cash held in US bank institutions is currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 at each institution. There were uninsured balances of $6,686,034 and $9,709,169 as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Customer and Revenue Concentrations

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


	Revenues				Accounts Receivable
	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,				As of		As of
	2023		2022		March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Customer A	*		*		*		34	%
Customer B	*		43	%	*		*
Customer C	*		37	%	*		*
Customer D	86	%	*		91	%	61	%
Total	86	%	80	%	91	%	95	%

*	Less than 10%

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

Vendor Concentrations

Vendor purchase concentrations are as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively:


	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2023		2022
Vendor A	*		69	%
Vendor B	12	%	*
Vendor C	*		14	%
	12	%	83	%

*	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, as well as raw materials and work in process related primarily to the manufacture of safe cases. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the standard costing method, which approximates cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The cost of inventory that is sold to third parties is included within cost of sales and the cost of inventory that is given as samples is included within operating expenses. The Company periodically reviews for slow-moving, excess or obsolete inventories. Products that are determined to be obsolete, if any, are written down to net realizable value. Finished goods inventory is held on-site at the Company’s San Diego, California location. Certain raw materials are held off-site with our contract manufacturers.

Inventory at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was comprised of the following:


	March 31,		December 31,
	2023		2022
Raw materials	$	732,623	$	1,075,310
Work-in-process		—		2,977
Finished goods		937,011		883,748
Total inventory	$	1,669,634	$	1,962,035

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.

The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

●

Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer;

●

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

●

Step 3: Determine the transaction price;

Table of Contents

KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

●

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

●

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

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

●

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

●

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

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

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

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

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared With Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Revenue

Our revenues consisted of the following types:


	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2023		2022
Product sales	$	1,629,258	$	172,599
Contract services		130,544		27,900
Total revenue	$	1,759,802	$	200,499

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we generated $1,759,802 and $200,499 of revenues from 14 and 11 customers, respectively, representing an increase of $1,559,303, or 778%. Revenue from product sales during the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $1,456,659 or 844% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. Product sales during the three months ended March 31, 2023, included sales of our component product, internal short circuit (“ISC”) battery cells and devices, and patented Thermal Runway Shield (“TRS”) technology.

Revenue from contract services during the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $102,644 or 368 % compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. Four contracts received during the first quarter of 2023 generated $127,544 of service revenues. Our service revenues, include certain research and development contracts and onsite engineering services.

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 and unpredictable, which can influence the timing, consistency and reporting of sales growth.

Cost of Revenue

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

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.

Table of Contents

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, cost of revenues was $1,116,415 and $122,918, respectively, representing an increase of $993,497 or 808%. The increase was primarily due to $908,377 of costs incurred to procure customized finished goods and component materials for a new product line, increased labor costs of $48,309, and an increase of $31,878 in depreciation expense due to revenue generating equipment placed in service during the period. The gross margin percentage was 37% and 39% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Cash provided by financing activities during the

Table of Contents

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.

Future cash requirements for our current liabilities include $3,653,967 for accounts payable and accrued expenses and $269,967 for future payments under operating leases. The Company has also committed to spend $1,000,000 in connection with an asset purchase agreement, $1,006,934 related to capital expenditures for automation equipment, $825,000 related to sponsorship agreements, and $441,192 for research and development. Cash requirements for long-term liabilities consist of $39,427 for lease payments. The Company intends to meet these cash requirements from its current cash balance, proceeds from the SEPA and from future revenues.

Our primary source of liquidity has historically been cash generated from equity and debt offerings. Under ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”), we have the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about our ability to meet future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The above conditions are indicators that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as we have a history of recurring net losses, recurring use of cash in operations and declining working capital. Despite these conditions, we have a successful track record of raising capital as needed and continue to have a positive, ongoing relationship with a financial institution that has provided access to capital and will continue to support us.

While no assurance can be provided that we will be successful in raising additional capital from Yorkville, as they are not obligated to advance funds so long as there is an outstanding Prepaid Advance, Yorkville has represented that in most scenarios, with mutual consent, they will continue to provide financial support. Upon satisfaction of the Prepaid Advance liability, the Company will utilize its ability to draw down on the remaining $33,000,000 available under the SEPA.

Based on the above, we believe we have sufficient liquidity and access to future capital to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date the financial statements have been issued and that our above plans alleviate any potential substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As of May 5, 2023, our cash balance was approximately $4.0 million.

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.

Critical Accounting Estimates

For a description of our critical accounting estimates, see Critical Accounting Estimates in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on March 28, 2023. There have been no changes to these critical accounting estimates since the Form 10-K was filed.

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 which continued to exist as of March 31, 2023. 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). 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

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over 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.
