SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report contains forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in the section captioned “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the factors described in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 filed with the SEC on September 21, 2023. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “should,” “would,” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties. You should read these factors and the other cautionary statements made in this report and in the documents we incorporate by reference into this report as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this report or the documents we incorporate by reference into this report. If one or more of these factors materialize, or if any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements relating to:

 

our ability to secure sufficient funding to support our current and proposed operations;

our ability to comply with the financial covenants under the terms of our existing credit facility with Gibraltar Business Capital, LLC to obtain the necessary funds to meet our operating cash requirements;
   
our ability to remediate our material weakness and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, disclosures and procedures;
   
our ability to obtain raw materials and other supplies for our products at existing or competitive prices and on a timely basis;

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023

(Unaudited)

 

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, 2023 filed with the SEC on September 21, 2023. 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, 2023 has been derived from the audited balance sheet at June 30, 2023 contained in such Form 10-K.

 

Nature of Business

 

Flux Power Holdings, Inc. (“Flux”) was incorporated in 2009 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 other commercial and industrial applications. We focus on providing lithium-ion products and service to large fleets of Fortune 500 customers. 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.

 

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 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. 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, 2023 and 2022, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 16,516,700 and 16,020,183, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 16,495,727 and 16,008,740, respectively. The Company incurred a net loss for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2023 and 2022 that were excluded from diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding represent shares underlying outstanding stock options, RSUs, and warrants, and totaled 3,466,276 and 2,691,710, respectively.

 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022 potentially dilutive common shares outstanding that were excluded from diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were as follows:

 

           
   December 31, 
   2023   2022 
Stock options   1,914,994    1,019,602 
RSUs   138,172    216,989 
Warrants   1,413,110    1,455,119 
           
Total   3,466,276    2,691,710 

 

Liquidity Considerations

 

The accompanying financial statements and notes have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the six months ended December 31, 2023, the Company generated negative cash flows from operations of $4.0 million and as of December 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $91.5 million. Management has evaluated the Company’s expected cash requirements over the next twelve (12) months, including investments in additional sales and marketing and research and development, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements. Management believes the Company’s existing cash, expected cash from our future operations, funding available under the Gibraltar Business Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GBC”) senior secured revolving credit facility for up to $16.0 million (the “GBC Credit Facility”), and funding available under the subordinated line of credit for $2.0 million with Cleveland Capital, L.P. (“Cleveland”) (the “2023 Subordinated LOC”) will be sufficient to enable us to fund the planned operations for the next twelve (12) months.

 

Historically, the Company has not generated sufficient cash to fund its operations. Based on the Company’s existing backlog and customer orders, management anticipates increased revenues, together with the improvements in its gross margin will move it closer to profitability. The Company has made reaching profitability a top priority and has focused on improving its gross margins across the product portfolio. Initiatives past and present include improvement to sourcing, design cost reductions and management of profitable product offerings. The Company has received new orders in the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2023 of approximately $64.2 million.

 

As of January 31, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of $2.7 million, $6.0 million remained available under the GBC Credit Facility and $2.0 million was available for future draws under the 2023 Subordinated LOC. The Company continues to execute on a cost reduction plan, to expand sources of supplies and component parts, and to implement pricing recovery initiatives to increase gross margins and improve cash flow from operations. Unforeseen factors in the general economy beyond management’s control could potentially have negative impact on the planned gross margin improvement plan.

NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE

 

Revolving Line of Credit

 

Gibraltar Business Capital Credit Facility

 

On July 28, 2023, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) with GBC. The Agreement provides the Company with a senior secured revolving loan facility for up to $15.0 million (the “Revolving Loan Commitment”). The revolving amount available under the GBC Credit Facility is equal to the lesser of the Revolving Loan Commitment and the borrowing base amount (as defined in the Agreement). The GBC Credit Facility is evidenced by a revolving note, which matures on July 28, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”), unless extended, modified or renewed (the “Revolving Note”). Provided that there is no event of default, the Maturity Date can automatically be extended for one (1) year period upon payment of a renewal fee for each such extension in the amount of three-quarters of one percent (0.75%) of the Revolving Loan Commitment, which fee will be due and payable on or before the applicable Maturity Date.

 

In addition, subject to conditions and terms set forth in the Agreement, the Company may request an increase in the Revolving Loan Commitment from time to time upon not less than 30 days’ notice to GBC which increase may be made at the sole discretion of GBC, as long as: (a) the requested increase is in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, and (b) the total increases do not exceed $5,000,000 and no more than five (5) increases are made. Outstanding principal under the GBC Credit Facility accrues interest at Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”, as defined in the Agreement) plus five and one half of one percent (5.50%) per annum with such interest payment due monthly on the last day of the month. In the event of default, the amounts due under the Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to three percent (3.0%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable to such amounts. The Company paid GBC a non-refundable closing fee for the GBC Credit Facility of $112,500 upon the execution of the Agreement. In addition, the Company is required to pay a monthly unused line fee equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum on the difference between the Revolving Loan Commitment and the average outstanding principal balance of the revolving loan(s) for such month. The obligations under the GBC Credit Facility may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time upon an exit fee of (a) two percent (2.00%) of the Revolving Loan Commitment if the obligations are paid in full during the first year after the closing date, or (b) one percent (1.00%) of the Revolving Loan Commitment if the obligations are paid in full one year after the closing date, provided, that, the exit fee will be waived if such prepayment occurs in connection with the refinancing of the obligations with Bank of America, N.A., as lender.

 

On November 2, 2023, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with Gibraltar Business Capital, LLC (“GBC”), which amended certain definition of the Subordinated Debt referenced in the Loan and Security Agreement dated July 28, 2023 as Subordinated Debt owed by Borrower to Cleveland Capital L.P. pursuant to that certain Subordinated Unsecured Promissory Note, dated as of November 1, 2023, in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000.

 

On January 30, 2024, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with GBC, which amended certain terms of the Loan and Security Agreement dated July 28, 2023, including but not limited to, (i) increasing the commitment amount from $15 million to $16 million, (ii) adding an additional non-refundable closing fee in the amount of $7,500 in cash for the increase in the commitment amount to $16 million, (iii) amending the definition of “Eligible Accounts;” and (iv) amending the EBITDA Minimum financial covenant of the Company. In consideration for the Second Amendment, the Company agreed to pay GBC a non-refundable amendment fee of $10,000 in cash. (See Note 9 – Subsequent Events)

 

The loans and other obligations of the Company under the GBC Credit Facility 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 Agreement and the Intellectual Property Security Agreement entered into by and among the Company and GBC on July 28, 2023. During the six months ended December 31, 2023, the Company had multiple drawdowns under the GBC Credit Facility totaling $34.5 million, inclusive of the full repayment of the SVB Credit Facility, and made multiple payments totaling $20.9 million. As of December 31, 2023, the outstanding balance under the GBC Credit Facility was approximately $13.6 million.

 

As of January 31, 2024, $6.0 million remained available for future borrowings under the GBC Credit Facility.

 

11

 

 

Silicon Valley Bank Credit Facility

 

On November 9, 2020, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan and Security 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 Agreement, the “Loan Agreement”) with SVB which amended certain terms of the 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 First Amendment provided 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 accrued 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%). The Company paid a non-refundable commitment fee of $15,000 upon execution of the Agreement and an additional non-refundable commitment fee of $22,500 in connection with the First Amendment.

Interest payments are due monthly on the last day of the month. 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 $8.0 million commitment under the SVB Credit Facility, depending upon availability of borrowings under the Revolving LOC. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Company paid SVB a non-refundable amendment fee of $5,000 and SVB’s legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Second Amendment.

 

In connection with the Second Amendment, the Company issued a twelve-year warrant to SVB and its designee, SVB Financial Group, to purchase up to 40,806 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $2.23 per share pursuant to the terms set forth therein.

Subordinated Line of Credit Facilities

 

Cleveland Capital, L.P. Credit Facility

 

On November 2, 2023, the Company entered into a Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with Cleveland Capital, L.P., (the “Lender”). The Credit Facility provides the Company with a line of credit of up to $2,000,000 for working capital purposes (“LOC”). In connection with the LOC, the Company issued a subordinated unsecured promissory note for $2,000,000 (the “Commitment Amount”) in favor of the Lender (the “Note”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility, the Lender agreed to make loans (each such loan, an “Advance”) up to such Lender’s Commitment Amount to the Company from time to time, until August 15, 2025 (the “Due Date”). The Note accrues interest at Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus nine percent (9%) per annum on each Advance from and after the date of disbursement of such Advance. All indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Company to the Lender are subject to the rights of Gibraltar Business Capital, LLC (together with its successors and assigns, “GBC”), pursuant to a Subordination Agreement dated on or about November 2, 2023, by and between the Lender and GBC (the “Subordination Agreement”). Subject to the Subordination Agreement, the Company may, from time to time, prior to the Due Date, draw down, repay, and re-borrow on the Note, by giving notice to the Lenders of the amount to be requested to be drawn down. Subject to the Subordination Agreement, the Note is payable upon the earlier of (i) the Due Date or (ii) on occurrence of an event of Default (as defined in the Note).

 

As consideration of the Lender’s commitment to provide the Advances to the Company, the Company issued the Lender warrants to purchase 41,196 shares of common stock (the “Warrants”) which rights are represented by a warrant certificate (“Warrant Certificate”). Subject to certain ownership limitations, the Warrants are exercisable immediately from the date of issuance, expire on the five (5) year anniversary of the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $3.24 per share. The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to certain adjustments, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations and reclassifications of the common stock. In the event of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Warrant Certificate), the holder of the Warrants will be entitled to exercise the Warrants and receive the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as such holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Triggering Event if such holder had exercised the rights represented by the Warrant Certificate immediately prior to the Triggering Event. Additionally, upon the holder’s request, the continuing or surviving corporation as a result of such Triggering Event will issue to such holder a new warrant of like tenor evidencing the right to purchase the adjusted amount of securities, cash or property and the adjusted warrant price. (See Note 6 – Stockholders’ Equity, Warrants)

2022 Subordinated LOC

 

On May 11, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Facility Agreement (the “2022 Subordinated LOC”) with Cleveland, Herndon Plant Oakley, Ltd., (“HPO”), and other lenders (together with Cleveland and HPO, the “Lenders”). The 2022 Subordinated LOC provided the Company with a short-term line of credit not less than $3,000,000 and not more than $5,000,000, to be used by the Company for working capital purposes. In connection with the 2022 Subordinated LOC, the Company issued a separate subordinated unsecured promissory note in favor of each respective Lender (each promissory note, a “Note”) for each Lender’s commitment amount (each such commitment amount, a “Commitment Amount”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the 2022 Subordinated LOC, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, an “Advance”) up to such Lender’s Commitment Amount to the Company from time to time, until December 31, 2022 (the “Due Date”). On December 15, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company elected to extend the Due Date to December 31, 2023. The Company may, from time to time, prior to the Due Date, draw down, repay, and re-borrow on the Note, by giving notice to the Lenders of the amount to be requested to be drawn down.

 

Each Note bears an interest rate of 15.0% per annum on each Advance from and after the date of disbursement of such Advance and is payable on (i) the Due Date in cash or shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at the sole election of the Company, unless such Due Date is extended pursuant to the Note, or (ii) on occurrence of an event of Default (as defined in the Note). The Due Date may be extended (i) at the sole election of the Company for one (1) additional year period from the Due Date upon the payment of a commitment fee equal to two percent (2%) of the Commitment Amount to the Lender within thirty (30) days prior to the original Due Date, or (ii) by the Lender in writing. In addition, each Lender signed a Subordination Agreement by and between the Lenders and SVB dated as of May 11, 2022 (the “Subordination Agreement”) for the purposes of subordinating the right to payment under the Note to SVB’s indebtedness by the Company now outstanding or hereinafter incurred. On December 15, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company elected to extend the Due Date to December 31, 2023 and the Company paid the Lenders an extension fee in the aggregate amount of $80,000. On July 28, 2023, in conjunction with the concurrent termination of the SVB Revolving LOC and the entry into a new credit facility with Gibraltar Business Capital (“GBC”), each Lender signed a Subordination Agreement by and between the Lenders and GBC dated as of July 28, 2023 (the “GBC Subordination Agreement”) for the purposes of subordinating the right to payment under the Note to GBC’s indebtedness by the Company then incurred and outstanding or thereinafter incurred.

 

The 2022 Subordinated LOC included customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and the Lenders. The Company has also agreed to pay the legal fees of Cleveland’s counsel in an amount up to $10,000. In addition, each Note also provides that, upon the occurrence of a Default, at the option of the Lender, the entire outstanding principal balance, all accrued but unpaid interest and/or Late Charges (as defined in the Note) at once will become due and payable upon written notice to the Company by the Lender.

 

In connection with entry into the 2022 Subordinated LOC, the Company paid to each Lender a one-time commitment fee in cash equal to 3.5% of such Lender’s Commitment Amount. In addition, in consideration of the Lenders’ commitment to provide the Advances to the Company, the Company issued the Lenders five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 128,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.53 per share that are, subject to certain ownership limitations, exercisable immediately (the “Warrants”) (the number of warrants issued to each Lender is equal to the product of (i) 160,000 shares of common stock multiplied by (ii) the ratio represented by each Lender’s Commitment Amount divided by the $5,000,000).

 

Pursuant to a selling agreement, dated as of May 11, 2022, the Company retained HPO as its placement agent in connection with the Subordinated LOC. As compensation for services rendered in conjunction with the Subordinated LOC, the Company paid HPO a finder fee equal to 3% of the Commitment Amount from each such Lender placed by HPO in cash.

 

On November 2, 2023, the 2022 Subordinated LOC was terminated. As of December 31, 2023, the outstanding balance under the 2022 Subordinated LOC was $0.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

On March 6, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2023 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2023 ESPP”), and on April 20, 2023, the 2023 ESPP was approved by the Company’s stockholders. The 2023 ESPP enables eligible employees of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (a “Participating Subsidiary”) to use payroll deductions to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock and acquire an ownership interest in the Company. The maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that have been reserved as authorized for the grant of options under the 2023 ESPP is 350,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided for in the 2023 ESPP. Participation in the 2023 ESPP is voluntary and is limited to eligible employees (as such term is defined in the 2023 ESPP) of the Company or a Participating Subsidiary who (i) has been employed by the Company or a Participating Subsidiary for at least 90 days and (ii) is customarily employed for at least twenty (20) hours per week and more than five (5) months in any calendar year. Each eligible employee may authorize payroll deductions of 1-15% of the eligible employee’s compensation on each pay day to be used to purchase up to 1,500 shares of Common Stock for the employee’s account occurring during an offering period. The 2023 ESPP has a term of ten (10) years commencing on April 20, 2023, the date of approval by the Company’s stockholders, unless otherwise earlier terminated.

 

There was no stock purchased under the 2023 ESPP during the six months ended December 31, 2023.

Stock-based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 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, 2023, the aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable stock options was approximately $96,000.

 

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

 

                     
   Three Months Ended
December 31,
   Six Months Ended
December 31,
 
   2023   2022   2023   2022 
Research and development  $80,000   $43,000   $140,000   $69,000 
Selling and administrative   314,000    166,000    530,000    235,000 
Total stock-based compensation expense  $394,000   $209,000   $670,000   $304,000 

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the fair value of stock options. The fair value of stock options was measured at the grant date using the assumptions (annualized percentages) in the table below:

 

   Six Months Ended December 31, 
   2023   2022 
Expected volatility   116.41%   90.12%
Risk free interest rate   4.90%   4.21%
Forfeiture rate   20%   20%
Dividend yield   0%   0%
Expected term (years)   6.00    6.25%

 

 

At December 31, 2023, the unamortized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding stock options and RSUs was approximately $3,627,000 and $350,000, respectively, and these amounts are expected to be expensed over the weighted-average remaining recognition period of 1.87 years and 0.67 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, 2023.

 

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 other commercial and industrial applications. We focus on providing lithium-ion products and service to large fleets of Fortune 500 customers. 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 OEMs and customers 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, by improving our customer support efforts, and by 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 is designed to:

 

  increase battery life by optimizing the charging cycle,
  give users a better understanding of the health of their battery in use, and
  apply artificial intelligence to predictively balance the cells for optimal performance.

 

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 growth 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:

 

Fiscal Quarter Ended  Beginning Backlog   New Orders   Shipments   Ending Backlog 
September 30, 2022  $35,020,000   $9,678,000   $17,840,000   $26,858,000 
December 31, 2022  $26,858,000   $20,652,000   $17,158,000   $30,352,000 
March 31, 2023  $30,352,000   $9,751,000   $15,087,000   $25,016,000 
June 30, 2023  $25,016,000   $19,780,000   $16,252,000   $28,544,000 
September 30, 2023  $28,544,000   $8,102,000   $14,797,000   $21,849,000 
December 31, 2023  $21,849,000   $26,552,000   $18,344,000   $30,057,000 

 

“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 1, 2024, our order backlog was approximately $29.7 million.

Business Updates

 

We continue to experience some deferrals of new Flux packs due to corresponding deferrals of forklifts of selected large customer fleets. There have been very few cancellations of purchase orders, but some orders have been delayed to the July – December 2024 period. Some customers have continued to provide “indications” of ordering our battery packs into 2025 and 2026, reflecting a lengthening of the OEM planning horizon. Causal rationale for delays are speculative and not definitive, but some feedback reflects concerns over the economy and the uncertainty of interest rates. The impact of deferrals has required additional selling strategies to maintain our sales trajectory.

 

We have seen modest improvements in our sourcing and purchasing activity, reflecting our efforts to expand and optimize our vendor strategy. Additional improvements include more secondary sources to minimize stock-outs and control delivery times, as evidenced in our maintaining inventory levels despite higher growth.

 

Recent Corporate Developments

 

On January 30, 2024, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with Gibraltar Business Capital, LLC (“GBC”), which amended certain terms of the Loan and Security Agreement dated July 28, 2023, including but not limited to, (i) increasing the commitment amount from $15 million to $16 million, (ii) adding an additional non-refundable closing fee in the amount of $7,500 in cash for the increase in the commitment amount to $16 million, (iii) amending the definition of “Eligible Accounts;” and (iv) amending the EBITDA Minimum financial covenant of the Company. In consideration for the Second Amendment, the Company agreed to pay GBC a non-refundable amendment fee of $10,000 in cash. Our credit line with Gibraltar provides for expansion up to $20 million.

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by taking net income and adding back the expenses related to interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation, each of which has been calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA was $291,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and improved by $1,179,000 from a loss of $888,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of approximately $881,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and improved by $1,551,000 from a loss of $2,432,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2022.

 

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with our results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information about our period-over-period results. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and is also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of comparable companies. We also rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a primary measure to review and assess the operating performance of our company and our management team.

 

As Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, it should not be construed as a substitute for EBITDA and net income (loss) (as determined in accordance with GAAP) for the purpose of analyzing our operating performance or financial position.

 

A reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA to net loss is included in the table below:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

For the six months ended December 31, 2023, the Company generated negative cash flows from operations of $4.0 million, and as of December 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $91.5 million. To date our business has not generated sufficient cash to fund our operations. However, given our existing backlog, we anticipate that revenue growth coupled with improvement in our gross margin will move us closer to profitability and improve our cash flow. Our gross margin improvement plan includes, but is not limited to, efforts to drive bill of material costs down while increasing the price of our products for new orders. We have received new orders during the twelve (12) months period ended December 31, 2023, of approximately $64.2 million.

 

As of January 31, 2024, we believe that our existing cash balance of $2.7 million, the $6.0 million available under our $16.0 million GBC Credit Facility and the $2.0 million available for future draws under our 2023 Subordinated LOC along with the expected cash from our future operations will enable us to fund our planned operations for the next twelve (12) months. See “Future Liquidity Needs” below.

Future Liquidity Needs

 

We have evaluated our expected cash requirements over the next twelve (12) months, which include, but are not limited to, investments in additional sales and marketing and research and development, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements. As of January 31, 2024, we believe that our existing cash of approximately $2.7 million, expected cash from our future operations, funding available under our GBC Credit Facility, under which $6.0 million is currently available, and funds available under our 2023 Subordinated LOC of up to $2.0 million will enable us to fund our planned operations for at least the next twelve (12) months. In addition, to support our operations and anticipated growth, we intend to continue to explore alternatives to secure additional capital from a variety of current and new sources including, but not limited to, sales of our equity securities. We also continue to execute our cost reduction, sourcing, pricing recovery initiatives in efforts to increase our gross margins and improve cash flow from operations.

 

Although management believes that our existing cash, cash from our future operations, together with the additional funding sources currently available to us under the lines of credit will be sufficient to fund planned operations for the next twelve (12) months, this is dependent on our ability to successfully maintain and draw on our credit facilities. Our ability to draw funds from the GBC Credit Facility is subject to certain restrictions and covenants. If we are unable to meet the conditions provided in the loan documents, the funds will not be available to us. In addition, should there be any delays in the receipts of key component parts, due in part to supply change disruptions, our ability to fulfil the backlog of sales orders will be negatively impacted resulting in lower availability of cash resources from operations. In that event, we may be required to raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities. 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. In addition, any unforeseen factors in the general economy beyond management’s control could potentially have a negative impact on the planned gross margin improvement plan.

 

In the event we are required to obtain additional funds, there is no guarantee that additional funds will be available on a timely basis or on acceptable terms. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, our stockholders may experience additional dilution and such financing may involve restrictive covenants.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Information with respect to our critical accounting policies which we believe could have the most significant effect on our reported results and require subjective or complex judgments by management is contained in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 filed with the SEC on September 21, 2023.

 

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.

 

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and subsequent guidance prepared by the Commission specifically for smaller public companies as of December 31, 2023. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2023 due to an identified material weakness as a result of not having sufficient personnel resources with technical accounting expertise related to certain aspects of the financial reporting process. Management intends to implement measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting to remediate material weaknesses, including the use of third-party consultants and accounting experts.

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurances with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

As described in the Company’s 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and based on such assessment, management concluded that as of June 30, 2023, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to an identified material weakness as a result of not having sufficient personnel resources with technical accounting expertise related to certain aspects of the financial reporting process. We plan to continue to assess our internal controls and control procedures and intend to take further action as necessary or appropriate to address any other matters we identify or are brought to our attention.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Except as discussed above, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. To the best knowledge of management, there are no material legal proceedings pending against the Company.

 

ITEM 1A - RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks set forth in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on September 21, 2023, before making an investment decision. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should read the section captioned “Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” above for a discussion of what types of statements are forward-looking statements, as well as the significance of such statements in the context of this report.
