BEAM GLOBAL
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2021
(Unaudited)
| 1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Nature of Operations
Beam Global, a Nevada corporation (hereinafter the “Company,” “us,” “we,” “our” or “Beam”) is a cleantech innovation company based in San Diego, California. Beam develops, designs, engineers, manufactures and sells high-quality, renewably energized infrastructure products for electric vehicle charging, outdoor media and energy security and disaster preparedness. Beam’s products enable vital and highly valuable energy production in locations where it is either too expensive or too impactful to connect to the utility grid, or where the requirements for electrical power are so important that grid failures, like blackouts, are intolerable. When competing with utilities or typical solar companies, we rely on our products’ ease of deployment, reliability, accessibility, and total cost of ownership, rather than producing the cheapest kilowatt hour with the help of subsidies.
Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and are in the form prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission in instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to present fairly our results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and our financial position as of June 30, 2021, have been made. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020. The December 31, 2020 balance sheet is derived from those statements.
Risks and Uncertainties
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic. The outbreak of COVID-19 resulted in travel restrictions, quarantines, “stay-at-home” and “shelter-in-place” orders as well as the shutdown of many businesses around the world. To date, while we have seen some delays and cancellations of opportunities in our pipeline as a result of funding issues, priority issues or temporary business closures, the pandemic has not had a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. With the rollout of a COVID-19 vaccine, businesses and governments are beginning to return to pre-pandemic status. However, it is difficult to predict what impact variants of the virus may have in the future or what impact these governmental actions and the widespread economic disruption arising from the pandemic will have on our business in the future.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, valuation of inventory and standard cost allocations, depreciable lives of property and equipment, valuation of intangible assets, estimates of loss contingencies, estimates of the valuation of lease liabilities and the related right of use assets, valuation of share-based costs, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity to address the complexity in accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU includes amendments that significantly change the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity and simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments which include beneficial conversion features or cash conversion features by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470-20. The prior conditions were difficult to apply and resulted in circumstances where warrants may have been required to be accounted for as a liability rather than as equity if issued under a registration statement. The Company, in consultation with legal counsel, determined that its outstanding public warrants issued under a Registration Statement on Form S-1 met, and continues to meet, the criteria for equity based on the terms of the warrant. Had the warrants been determined that liability treatment was required, the liability would have been approximately $64 million for the 953,595 public warrants at December 31, 2020 with a non-cash charge to the statement of operations of $61 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The ASU is effective for smaller reporting companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, although early adoption is permitted, as early as fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. As such, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2021, on a full retrospective basis, which will allow the Company to continue to classify the warrants as equity, and as a result, had no effect on its condensed financial statements and related disclosures. If the Company had recorded the warrants as a liability in prior periods, with the full retrospective adoption on January 1, 2021, the liability would have been recast as equity and retained earnings adjusted to reverse the effect of the liability entries and as a result, there would be no impact on the financial statements for any periods presented.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC Topic 326) requiring initial recognition of credit losses, as well as any subsequent change in the estimate, when it is probable that a loss has been incurred. The standard eliminates the threshold for initial recognition in current U.S. GAAP and it covers a broad range of financial instruments, including trade and other receivables at each reporting date. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial assets. The standard is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Concentrations
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable.
The Company maintains its cash in banks and financial institution deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts from inception through June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, $

Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the unaudited
condensed statements of cash flows, the Company considers all liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when
purchased to be cash equivalents. There were
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short-term loans, are carried at historical cost basis. At June 30, 2021, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. Management reviews accounts receivable on a periodic basis to determine if any receivables may become uncollectible. Management’s evaluation includes several factors including the aging of the accounts receivable balances, a review of significant past due accounts, dialogue with the customer, the financial profile of a customer, our historical write-off experience, net of recoveries, and economic conditions. The Company includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method of accounting. Inventory costs primarily relate to purchased raw materials and components used in the manufacturing of our products, work in process for products being manufactured, and finished goods. Included in these costs are direct labor and certain manufacturing overhead costs associated with the manufacturing process. The Company regularly reviews inventory components and quantities on hand and performs annual physical inventory counts. A reserve is established if this review process determines the net realizable value of such inventory may be below the carrying value.
Patents
The Company believes it will achieve future economic value benefits for its patents. All administrative costs for obtaining patents are accumulated on the balance sheet as a patent asset until such time as a patent is issued. The costs of these intangible assets are classified as a long-term asset and amortized on a straight-line basis over the legal life of such asset, which is typically 20 years. In the event a patent is denied or abandoned, all accumulated administrative costs will be expensed in the period in which the patent was denied or abandoned. Patent amortization expense was $
Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02: “Leases (Topic 842)” whereby lessees need to recognize almost all leases on the balance sheet as a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2019 using the effective date method and applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected not to reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, and (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. The Company has elected to not recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases that have a term of 12 months or less.
| 9 |
Revenue Recognition
Beam follows the revenue standards of Financial Accounting Standards Board Update No. 2014-09: “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The core principle of this Topic is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized in accordance with that core principle by applying the following five steps: 1) identify the contracts with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation.
Revenues are primarily derived from the direct sales of manufactured products. Revenues may also consist of maintenance fees for the maintenance of previously sold products and revenues from sales of professional services.
Revenues from inventoried product are recognized upon the final delivery of such product to the customer or when legal transfer of ownership takes place. Revenue values are fixed price arrangements determined at the time an order is placed or a contract is entered into. The customer is typically obligated to make payment for such products within a 30-45 day period after delivery.
Revenues from maintenance fees for services provided by the Company are recognized equally over the period of the maintenance term. Revenue values are fixed price arrangements determined at the time an order is placed or a contract is entered into. The customer is typically obligated to make payment for the service in advance of the maintenance period.
Extended maintenance or warranty services, where the customer has the option to purchase this extension as a separate purchase option, are considered a separate performance obligation. If the Company does not control the extended services, in terms of having the responsibility for fulfillment of the obligation or the option to choose who will perform the services, the Company is acting as an agent and would report the revenues on a net basis.
Revenues from professional services are recognized when services are performed. Revenue values are based upon fixed fee arrangements or hourly fee-based arrangements with agreed to hourly rates of service categories in line with expertise requirements. These services are billed to a customer as such services are provided and the customer will be obligated to make payments for such services typically within a 30-45 day period.
Revenues on a bill-and-hold arrangement are recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer, but physical possession of the product transfers at a point in time in the future. To determine this, the reason for the arrangement must be substantive, the product must be separately identified and ready for physical transfer, the customer has the ability to direct the use of the product and the product cannot be directed to another customer.
The Company has a policy of recording sales incentives as a contra revenue.
The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues.
Any deposits received from a customer prior to delivery of the purchased product or monies paid prior to the period for which a service is provided are accounted for as deferred revenue on the balance sheet.
Sales tax is recorded on a net basis and excluded from revenue.
The Company generally provides a standard one-year warranty on its products for materials and workmanship but may provide multiple year warranties as negotiated, and it will pass on the warranties from its vendors, if any, which generally covers this one-year period. In accordance with ASC 450-20-25, the Company accrues for product warranties when the loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 2021, the Company has no product warranty accrual given the Company’s historical financial warranty expense.
| 10 |
Cost of Revenues
The Company records direct material and component costs, direct labor and associated benefits, and manufacturing overhead costs such as supervision, manufacturing equipment depreciation, rent, and utility costs, all of which are included in inventory prior to a sale, as costs of revenues. The Company further includes shipping and handling costs as cost of revenues.
The Company follows ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” ASC 718 requires companies to estimate and recognize the fair value of stock-based awards to employees and directors. The fair value of the portion of an award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the shorter of the service periods or vesting periods using the straight-line attribution method.
The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 and accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement criteria of ASC 718 and recognizes the fair value of such awards over the service period. The Company used the modified prospective method of adoption.
The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period, and, if dilutive, potential common stock outstanding during the period. Potential common stock consist of the incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options, stock warrants, convertible debt instruments or other common stock equivalents. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Options to purchase of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock were outstanding at June 30, 2021. These shares were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the three or six months ended June 30, 2021 because the effects would have been anti-dilutive. These options and warrants may dilute future earnings per share.
Reclassifications
Where necessary, the prior year’s information has been reclassified to conform to the current period’s statement presentation. On the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows, the amortization of operating lease right of use asset of $24,578 at June 30, 2020 was reclassified from accrued expenses to conform to the June 30, 2021 presentation.
Segments
The Company follows ASC 280-10 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company only operated in one segment; therefore, segment information has not been presented.

| 5. | CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE - RELATED PARTY AND NOTE PAYABLE |
On October 18, 2016, the Company entered into a five-year employment agreement, effective as of January 1, 2016, with Mr. Desmond Wheatley, the Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chairman of the Company (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Wheatley received an annual deferred salary of $50,000 which Mr. Wheatley deferred until such time as Mr. Wheatley and the Board of Directors agreed that payment of the deferred salary and/or cessation of the deferral was appropriate. In August 2018, the Agreement was amended to provide that his salary shall defer until the earliest to occur of the following: (i) a permissible event specified in Section 409A of the Code, (ii) December 31, 2020, (iii) a change of control as defined in the Agreement, or (iv) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
All deferred amounts were
evidenced by an unsecured convertible promissory note payable by the Company to Mr. Wheatley bearing simple interest at the rate of 10%
per annum, accruing until paid, convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $7.50 per share at any time in whole or
in part at Mr. Wheatley’s discretion. As the conversion price was equivalent to the fair value of the common stock at various salary
deferral dates prior to June 30, 2018, there was no beneficial conversion feature to this note through such date. Subsequent to June 30,
2018 through December 31, 2018, and based on the average daily closing price of our common stock, the Company recorded $
On September 17, 2019, the
Board of Directors adopted a resolution to pay off the convertible promissory note issued to Mr. Wheatley for his deferred compensation
in the near future (subject to a recommendation on timing from Mr. Wheatley), and no additional salary was deferred after September 15,
2019. In February 2020, the remaining debt discount of $

| 6. | AUTO LOAN |
In October 2015, the Company purchased a new vehicle and financed the purchase through a dealer auto loan. The loan has a term of 60 months, requires minimum monthly payments of approximately $950, and bears interest at a rate of 5.99 percent. The final payment was made on this loan in October 31, 2020.
| 7. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Legal Matters:

| 8. | LEASES |
The Company evaluates new
leases at inception based on the criteria defined in Leases (Topic 842). On September 1, 2020, the Company entered into a new five year
operating lease with payments ranging from $52,000 to $58,526. The lease has two one-year options to extend the term of the lease. At
this time, it is not reasonably certain that we will extend the term of the lease and therefore the renewal periods have been excluded
from the right-of-use (“ROU”) asset. We calculated the present value of the lease payment stream using our effective borrowing
rate of
The tables below show the operating ROU assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2020 and the balance as of June 30, 2021, including the changes during the periods.

For example, when we use words such as "projects," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "should," "would," "could," "will," “opportunity," "potential" or "may," and variations of such words or other words that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes, we are making forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company’s actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by the Company in those statements. The most important factors that could prevent the Company from achieving its stated goals include, but are not limited to, the following:
| (a) | volatility or decline of the Company’s stock price or absence of stock price appreciation; |
| (b) | fluctuation in quarterly results; |
| (c) | failure of the Company to earn revenues or profits; |
| (d) | inadequate capital to continue or expand its business, and inability to raise additional capital or financing to implement its business plans; |
| (e) | unavailability of capital or financing to prospective customers of the Company to enable them to purchase products and services from the Company; |
| (f) | failure to commercialize the Company’s technology or to make sales; |
| (g) | reductions in demand for the Company’s products and services, whether because of competition, general industry conditions, loss of tax incentives for solar power, technological obsolescence, or other reasons; |
| (h) | rapid and significant changes in markets; |

Overview
Beam is a cleantech innovation company based in San Diego, California that develops, manufactures and sells high-quality, renewably energized infrastructure products for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, outdoor media advertising and energy security and disaster preparedness.
The Company has designed five product lines that incorporate the same underlying proprietary technology for producing a unique alternative to grid-tied charging of electric vehicles, having a built-in renewable energy source in the form of attached solar panels and/or light wind generator to produce power and battery storage to store the power. These products are rapidly deployable and attractively designed. Our product lines include:
| - | EV ARC™ Electric Vehicle Autonomous Renewable Charger – a patented, rapidly deployed, infrastructure product that uses integrated solar power and battery storage to provide a mounting asset and a source of power for factory installed electric vehicle charging stations of any brand. In 2019, we began deploying our upgraded version, the EV ARC™ 2020, which provides all of the features of the original EV ARC™ in addition to elevating the electronics to the underside of the solar array making the unit flood-proof up to nine feet and making more space available on the engineered ballast and traction pad which gives the product stability. | |
| - | Solar Tree® DCFC – Off-grid, renewably energized and rapidly deployed, patented single-column mounted smart generation and energy storage system with the capability to provide a 50kW DC fast charge to one or more electric vehicles or larger vehicles. | |
| - |
EV ARC™ DCFC – DC Fast Charging system for charging EVs.
| |
| - | EV-Standard™ – patent issued on December 31, 2019 and still under development. A Lamp Standard replacement EV charging and emergency power product which uses an existing streetlamp’s foundation and a combination of solar, wind, grid connection and onboard energy storage to provide curbside charging, street lighting and emergency power. | |
| - | UAV ARC™ - patent issued on November 24, 2020 and still under development. An off-grid, renewably energized and rapidly deployed product and network used to charge aerial drone (UAV) fleets. |
We believe that there is a clear need for a rapidly deployable and highly scalable EV charging infrastructure, and that our products fulfill that requirement. Unlike grid-tied installations which require general and electrical contractors, engineers, consultants, digging trenches, permitting, pouring concrete, wiring, and ongoing utility bills, the EV ARC™ system can be deployed in minutes, not months, and is powered by renewable energy so there is no utility bill. We are agnostic as to the EV charging service equipment or provider and integrate best of breed solutions based upon our customer’s requirements. For example, our EV ARC™ and Solar Tree® products have been deployed with Chargepoint, Blink, Enel X, Electrify America and other high quality EV charging solutions. We can make recommendations to customers or we can comply with their specifications and/or existing charger networks. Our products replace the infrastructure required to support EV chargers, not the chargers themselves. We do not sell EV charging, rather we sell products which enable it.
We believe our chief differentiators for our electric vehicle charging infrastructure products are:
| · | Our patented, renewably energized products dramatically reduce the cost, time and complexity of the installation and operation of EV charging infrastructure and outdoor media platforms when compared to traditional, utility grid tied alternatives; |
| · | Our first-to-market advantage with EV charging infrastructure products which are renewably energized, rapidly deployed and require no construction or electrical work on site. |
| · | our products’ capability to operate during grid outages and to provide a source of EV charging and emergency power rather than becoming inoperable during times of emergency or other grid interruptions; and |
| · | our ability to continuously create new and patentable inventions which are marketable and integrate our own proprietary technology and parts with other available engineered components, creating a further barrier to entry for our competition. |

Overall Business Outlook
Our revenues increased from $2,772,210 in the first six months of 2020, to $3,493,490 for the same period in 2021. Compared to the first half of 2020, our sales in the first half of 2021 to municipalities remains strong, and we have experienced growth from federal customers through our GSA contract and also from enterprise customers. We have strengthened our sales force over the past year and increased marketing efforts, including engaging a public relations firm and a rebranding, to communicate and increase awareness of our products to potential customers. On January 27, 2021, President Biden issued an executive order that called for “clean and zero-emission federal, state, local, and tribal government fleets.” President Biden also proposed $174 billion investment in the EV market and an additional 500,000 publicly available EV charging stations on U.S. highways. There is also a $1 trillion infrastructure bill that was proposed in August 2021 that includes $7.5 billion for a nationwide network of plug-in electric vehicle chargers. That bill passed the Senate on August 10th and is now headed to the House. Beam Global views federal investment in EV infrastructure as an important potential source of future revenues particularly now that the Company has been awarded a Federal General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract that will make the procurement process by federal agencies much easier and faster. We have hired a government relations person and engaged a lobbying firm in Washington DC to support this opportunity for growth. We are also increasing our sales across the U.S. to add to our significant presence in California. We believe that our opportunities in corporate markets will increase as demand for workplace and public charging increases. We believe our products are uniquely positioned to benefit from this growth, as well as increased market share as a result of our ability to rapidly deploy resilient and low total cost EV charging infrastructure without the complexities of construction, electrical work or permitting.
We continue to make progress in our outdoor media advertising business in 2021, where the efforts of our contracted industry expert are identifying and vetting potential corporate sponsors to receive global naming rights to the network of EV ARC™ systems planned for the City of San Diego and other major US cities.
We have two new patents that were issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office at the end of 2019 and in 2020 for our EV Standard™ and UAV ARC™ which we expect will expand our product offerings with the same proprietary technology as our current products and allow us to expand into new markets. We have also been issued a new patent for our transformable EV ARC™ in China.
We had a gross loss of $422,997 in the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to gross income of $15,695 for the same period in the prior year. We currently have a fixed overhead structure and facility that will support our expected growth over the next several years. Until our production increases, we have underutilized capacity that adds a fixed cost burden to our margins. Once we are able to increase our production volumes, we will improve our fixed cost per unit, as well as benefit from improved labor efficiencies and utilization and cost improvements by negotiating volume purchase discounts. We are also implementing lean manufacturing process improvements and making engineering changes to our product where we can benefit from cost reductions. Many of the components that we integrate into our products are manufactured by others. This is consistent with our strategy to take advantage of the investment by large and well-funded organizations in the improvement of various components and sub-assemblies which we integrate into our final product. Components such as battery cells and solar panels are expected to continue to decrease in cost in the coming months and years. We expect to see a significant increase in the demand for electric vehicle charging infrastructure and as such we do not anticipate significant pricing pressure on our products. The combination of this increase in demand for electric vehicle charging infrastructure and therefore our revenues, and the cost cutting measures described above lead us to believe that we will see significant improvement in our gross margins in the future.
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no material changes in these policies or their application.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include the valuation of inventory and standard cost allocations, depreciable lives of property and equipment, valuation of intangible assets, estimates of loss contingencies, estimates of the valuation of lease liabilities and the related right of use assets, valuation of share-based costs, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Changes in Accounting Principles. There were no significant changes in accounting principles that were adopted during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Results of Operations
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
Revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, revenues were $2,121,098, a 46% increase over $1,455,158 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. During the second quarter of 2021, we continued to ship units to various municipalities and also the first 7 of 52 units ordered by the State of California which have been deployed at various State agencies, including Cal Fire, Cal OES and Caltrans. A further two units were delivered on the New York City contract (the first of our latest EV ARCTM 2020 flood-proof model), and delivery of the second of our latest generation of Solar Tree® products to a customer in central California which will provide charging for full-sized electric buses, electric heavy-duty vehicles, electric agricultural equipment, public transportation and growing electric vehicle options in the construction industry. We also saw a strong increase in revenues to federal customers compared to Q2 2020, which we expect will continue given an increase in federal funding and grant opportunities for electric vehicles and related infrastructure and due to our being issued a Federal General Services Administration Contract. Revenues to enterprise customers also increased this quarter which we also expect to improve as more companies return to working on-site as a result of the COVID-19 vaccine. During 2020, we experienced some delays in orders as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, but we expect to see less delays as we move forward. Our backlog on June 30, 2021 was $3.7 million.
Gross Loss. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had a gross loss of $273,877 compared to a gross income of $55,336 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Despite the increase in revenues during the quarter of 2021 compared to 2020, our gross loss increased primarily due to an increase in costs for the new EV ARC™ 2020 unit that was launched at the end of 2019 and rolled out in 2020, compared to the original EV ARC™. Our experience with the original EV ARC™ demonstrated that while the initial costs of the unit start out high, the operations and engineering teams improve the production process and reduce material costs which will reduce the costs over time. We anticipate that this process will be repeated with the EV ARC™ 2020. We are also being negatively impacted by increases in steel prices and shipping costs due to high demand. We expect our margins to improve as we increase our production levels, which will reduce our overhead costs per unit and improve our labor efficiency. We are also improving our shipping practices which we believe will further reduce our costs.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses were $1,369,010 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $888,456 for the same period in 2020, a 54% increase. The increase was primarily due to $187,221 for non-cash compensation expense for stock option expense and vesting of director restricted shares, $145,407 for increased sales and marketing expense to support revenue growth, $40,528 for increased costs related to the proxy and shareholder meeting, $33,377 for increased R&D headcount to support development projects, $20,856 for increased D&O insurance premiums and $53,165 of other net increases.
Other Income and Expense. Interest income was $1,924 in the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $627 in the quarter ended June 30, 2020, due to a significantly lower average gross yield on our investments, despite higher cash balances. Interest expense was $665 in the quarter ended June 30, 2020, and there was no interest expense in the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
Net Loss. Our net loss was $1,641,788 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a $807,831 increase from a net loss of $833,957 for the same period in 2020, primarily due to the increase in gross loss and increased operating expenses.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
Revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, revenues were $3,493,490, a 26% increase over $2,772,210 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Revenues from municipalities during the first six months of 2021 continued to be strong, comparable to the first six months of 2020. The increased revenue in the first half of 2021 compared to the prior year came from revenues from both federal and enterprise customers. In addition, we are seeing more multiple unit orders as evidenced by a 52 system order from the State of California and several others. During 2020, we experienced some delays in orders as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which are starting to move forward. Our backlog on June 30, 2021 was $3.7 million.
| 21 |
Gross Loss. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a gross loss of $422,997 compared to a gross income of $15,695 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Despite the increase in revenues during the first 6 months of 2021 compared to 2020, our gross loss increased primarily due to an increase in costs for the new EV ARC™ 2020 unit that was launched at the end of 2019 and rolled out in 2020, compared to the original EV ARC™. Our experience with the original EV ARC™ demonstrated that while the initial costs of the unit start out high, the operations and engineering teams improve the production process and reduce material costs which will reduce the costs over time. We anticipate that this process will be repeated with the EV ARC™ 2020. We are also being negatively impacted by increases in steel prices and shipping costs due to high demand. We expect our margins to improve as we increase our production levels, which will reduce our overhead costs per unit and improve our labor efficiency. We also expect to improve our shipping costs.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses were $2,471,685 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $1,790,456 for the same period in 2020, a 38% increase. The increase was primarily due to $273,096 for non-cash compensation expense for stock option expense and vesting of director restricted shares, $158,409 for increased sales and marketing expense to support revenue growth, $62,618 for R&D increased headcount to support development projects, $39,937 for increased costs related to the proxy and shareholder meeting, $27,885 for increased D&O insurance premiums, $27,333 for increased director cash compensation, $20,654 for increased legal expense, and $71,297 of other net increases.
Other Income and Expense. Interest income was $2,910 in the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $9,519 for the same period in 2020, due to a significantly lower average gross yield on our investments, despite higher cash balances. Interest expense was $10,437 in the six months ended June 30, 2020, and there was no interest expense in the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Net Loss. Our net loss was $2,892,597 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a $1,116,119 increase from a net loss of $1,776,478 for the same period in 2020, primarily due to the increase in gross loss and increased operating expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2021, we had cash of $25,308,606, compared to cash of $26,702,804 at December 31, 2020. We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of equity and debt financings. Our cash requirements are generally for operating activities.

Net loss of $1,776,478 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was decreased by $225,237 for non-cash expense items that included depreciation and amortization, common stock issued for services for director compensation, non-cash compensation expense related to stock options and amortization of debt discount to interest expense associated with the related party note. Cash used in operations for the period included increases in inventory by $308,438 based on forecasted deliveries, prepaid expenses and other current assets of $262,944 for vendor prepayments for inventory, rent, insurance and others, increase in accounts receivable of $64,944 due to a slow paying customer from Q4 2019, payment of a convertible note originally issued in lieu of salary for a related party of $220,417, decrease in accounts payable of $126,018 and a $13,426 decrease in deferred revenue for a deposit from a customer. Cash provided by operations included an increase of $168,241 accrued expenses, primarily for payroll and related expenses and an overpayment by a customer, $16,211 for an increase for sales tax payable and $6,250 for deposits.
Cash used in investing activities included $168,225 to purchase manufacturing equipment and $37,779 for patent related costs during the six months ended June 30, 2021. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, $140,241 was used to purchase manufacturing equipment and $44,082 was used to fund patent related costs.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash generated by our financing activities included $2,643,494 in proceeds received from the exercise of warrants and we used cash of $81,039 to cover payroll taxes related to cashless stock option exercises. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, cash generated by our financing activities included $317,185 in proceeds received from the exercise of warrants and we borrowed $339,262 through the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program made available through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). During this period, we used cash of $5,473 for the repayment of an auto loan and $6,986 of deferred equity offering costs related to the filing of a Form S-3 registration statement.
Working capital has increased from $28,063,320 at December 31, 2020 to $28,177,437 at June 30, 2021, primarily due to cash proceeds from warrant exercises, partially offset by operating cash usage.
While the Company continues to focus on sales and increased market awareness of its products, the Company has not generally earned a net profit on its sales of products during recent years. However, we believe that our net profit will improve as our revenues grow. Management believes that with increased production volumes that we believe are forthcoming, efficiencies will continue to improve, and total per unit production costs will decrease, thus allowing for increasing gross profits on the EV ARC™ and Solar Tree® products in the future. The Company may raise capital from the issuance of its securities or debt instruments until it achieves positive cash flow from its business, which is predicated on increasing sales volumes and the continuation of production cost reduction measures. Management cannot currently predict when or if it will achieve positive cash flow.
On July 7, 2020, the Company issued 1,393,900 shares of common stock in an underwritten public offering at $8.25 per share, generating approximately $10,500,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. On November 27, 2020, the Company issued 250,000 shares of common stock in an underwritten public offering at $30.00 per share, generating approximately $6,900,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the aggregate net proceeds from these offerings primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Management believes that evolution in the operations of the Company may allow it to execute on its strategic plan and enable it to experience profitable growth in the future. This evolution is anticipated to include the following continual steps: addition of sales personnel and independent sales channels, continued management of overhead costs, increased overhead absorption resulting from revenue growth, process improvements and vendor negotiations leading to cost reductions, increased public awareness of the Company and its products, and the maturation of certain long sales cycle opportunities. Management believes that these steps, if successful, may enable the Company to generate sufficient revenue to continue operations. There is no assurance, however, as to if or when the Company will be able to achieve those operating objectives.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources, that are material to investors.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
During the period covered by this filing, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2021, we do not yet have sufficient controls and procedures to ensure that all the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports was recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis.
The Company intends to improve its internal control over financial reporting and improve its disclosure controls and procedures. As of December 31, 2020, we had identified the following material weaknesses, of which the items below still exist as of June 30, 2021 and through the date of this report:
|
|
· | The Company currently does not have automated manufacturing or purchasing systems in place to track inventory purchases, transactions, bills of material, part numbers, product costing, labor or a perpetual inventory system. The Company performs manual processes during the year to track and control inventory transactions, apply labor and overheads to inventory and to perform a wall to wall physical inventory at the end of the year to confirm the ending inventory balance and valuation. While these processes provide good results in determining inventory and cost of sales transactions, as we grow, it has become a very time-consuming process and could impact our ability to submit timely reporting. An enterprise planning system will also provide better management tools to analyze and plan production. This will avoid over-purchasing or shortages of inventory. This will avoid over-purchasing or shortages of inventory. We plan to implement a manufacturing and purchasing system during fiscal 2021. |
Since these controls have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.
Corrective Action and Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we continued to research several Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software packages to determine which will be the most effective based on our manufacturing environment and operating processes. We have narrowed our selection down to two choices. We also continued to improve our manual operating processes to determine the best structure we want to put in place once we begin to design the new ERP, as well as access controls to streamline and strengthen our approval processes and control environment. We plan to select the new ERP in 2021.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company may be involved in legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time. As of the date of this report, there are no ongoing or pending legal claims or proceedings of which management is aware.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, liquidity or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity or future results.

| NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Nature of Operations
Beam Global, a Nevada corporation (hereinafter the “Company,” “us,” “we,” “our” or “Beam”) is a cleantech innovation company based in San Diego, California. Beam develops, designs, engineers, manufactures and sells high-quality, renewably energized infrastructure products for electric vehicle charging, outdoor media and energy security and disaster preparedness. Beam’s products enable vital and highly valuable energy production in locations where it is either too expensive or too impactful to connect to the utility grid, or where the requirements for electrical power are so important that grid failures, like blackouts, are intolerable. When competing with utilities or typical solar companies, we rely on our products’ ease of deployment, reliability, accessibility, and total cost of ownership, rather than producing the cheapest kilowatt hour with the help of subsidies.
Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and are in the form prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission in instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to present fairly our results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and our financial position as of June 30, 2021, have been made. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020. The December 31, 2020 balance sheet is derived from those statements.
Risks and Uncertainties
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic. The outbreak of COVID-19 resulted in travel restrictions, quarantines, “stay-at-home” and “shelter-in-place” orders as well as the shutdown of many businesses around the world. To date, while we have seen some delays and cancellations of opportunities in our pipeline as a result of funding issues, priority issues or temporary business closures, the pandemic has not had a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. With the rollout of a COVID-19 vaccine, businesses and governments are beginning to return to pre-pandemic status. However, it is difficult to predict what impact variants of the virus may have in the future or what impact these governmental actions and the widespread economic disruption arising from the pandemic will have on our business in the future.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, valuation of inventory and standard cost allocations, depreciable lives of property and equipment, valuation of intangible assets, estimates of loss contingencies, estimates of the valuation of lease liabilities and the related right of use assets, valuation of share-based costs, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity to address the complexity in accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU includes amendments that significantly change the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity and simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments which include beneficial conversion features or cash conversion features by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470-20. The prior conditions were difficult to apply and resulted in circumstances where warrants may have been required to be accounted for as a liability rather than as equity if issued under a registration statement. The Company, in consultation with legal counsel, determined that its outstanding public warrants issued under a Registration Statement on Form S-1 met, and continues to meet, the criteria for equity based on the terms of the warrant. Had the warrants been determined that liability treatment was required, the liability would have been approximately $64 million for the 953,595 public warrants at December 31, 2020 with a non-cash charge to the statement of operations of $61 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The ASU is effective for smaller reporting companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, although early adoption is permitted, as early as fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. As such, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2021, on a full retrospective basis, which will allow the Company to continue to classify the warrants as equity, and as a result, had no effect on its condensed financial statements and related disclosures. If the Company had recorded the warrants as a liability in prior periods, with the full retrospective adoption on January 1, 2021, the liability would have been recast as equity and retained earnings adjusted to reverse the effect of the liability entries and as a result, there would be no impact on the financial statements for any periods presented.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC Topic 326) requiring initial recognition of credit losses, as well as any subsequent change in the estimate, when it is probable that a loss has been incurred. The standard eliminates the threshold for initial recognition in current U.S. GAAP and it covers a broad range of financial instruments, including trade and other receivables at each reporting date. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial assets. The standard is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Concentrations
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable.
The Company maintains its cash in banks and financial institution deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts from inception through June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, $25,173,457 of the Company’s cash deposits were greater than the federally insured limits.
Major Customers
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, revenues from four customers accounted for 22%, 18%, 16% and 10% of total revenues, and for the six months ended June 30, 2021, revenues from three customers accounted for 13%, 13% and 11% of total revenues, with no other single customer accounting for more than 10% of revenues. At June 30, 2021, accounts receivable from four customers accounted for 18%, 14%, 14% and 11% of total accounts receivable, with no other single customer accounting for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance.
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, revenues from four customers accounted for 39%, 18%, 12% and 11% of total revenues, and for the six months ended June 30, 2020, revenues from two customers accounted for 20% and 12% of total revenues, with no other single customer accounting for more than 10% of revenues. At June 30, 2020, accounts receivable from six customers accounted for 28%, 11%, 10%, 10%, 10% and 10% of total accounts receivable, with no other single customer accounting for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we had a heavy concentration of sales to federal, state and local governments which represented 78% and 75% of revenues, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the unaudited condensed statements of cash flows, the Company considers all liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short-term loans, are carried at historical cost basis. At June 30, 2021, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. Management reviews accounts receivable on a periodic basis to determine if any receivables may become uncollectible. Management’s evaluation includes several factors including the aging of the accounts receivable balances, a review of significant past due accounts, dialogue with the customer, the financial profile of a customer, our historical write-off experience, net of recoveries, and economic conditions. The Company includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method of accounting. Inventory costs primarily relate to purchased raw materials and components used in the manufacturing of our products, work in process for products being manufactured, and finished goods. Included in these costs are direct labor and certain manufacturing overhead costs associated with the manufacturing process. The Company regularly reviews inventory components and quantities on hand and performs annual physical inventory counts. A reserve is established if this review process determines the net realizable value of such inventory may be below the carrying value.
Patents
The Company believes it will achieve future economic value benefits for its patents. All administrative costs for obtaining patents are accumulated on the balance sheet as a patent asset until such time as a patent is issued. The costs of these intangible assets are classified as a long-term asset and amortized on a straight-line basis over the legal life of such asset, which is typically 20 years. In the event a patent is denied or abandoned, all accumulated administrative costs will be expensed in the period in which the patent was denied or abandoned. Patent amortization expense was $9,977 and $2,182 in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02: “Leases (Topic 842)” whereby lessees need to recognize almost all leases on the balance sheet as a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2019 using the effective date method and applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected not to reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, and (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. The Company has elected to not recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases that have a term of 12 months or less.
Revenue Recognition
Beam follows the revenue standards of Financial Accounting Standards Board Update No. 2014-09: “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The core principle of this Topic is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized in accordance with that core principle by applying the following five steps: 1) identify the contracts with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation.
Revenues are primarily derived from the direct sales of manufactured products. Revenues may also consist of maintenance fees for the maintenance of previously sold products and revenues from sales of professional services.
Revenues from inventoried product are recognized upon the final delivery of such product to the customer or when legal transfer of ownership takes place. Revenue values are fixed price arrangements determined at the time an order is placed or a contract is entered into. The customer is typically obligated to make payment for such products within a 30-45 day period after delivery.
Revenues from maintenance fees for services provided by the Company are recognized equally over the period of the maintenance term. Revenue values are fixed price arrangements determined at the time an order is placed or a contract is entered into. The customer is typically obligated to make payment for the service in advance of the maintenance period.
Extended maintenance or warranty services, where the customer has the option to purchase this extension as a separate purchase option, are considered a separate performance obligation. If the Company does not control the extended services, in terms of having the responsibility for fulfillment of the obligation or the option to choose who will perform the services, the Company is acting as an agent and would report the revenues on a net basis.
Revenues from professional services are recognized when services are performed. Revenue values are based upon fixed fee arrangements or hourly fee-based arrangements with agreed to hourly rates of service categories in line with expertise requirements. These services are billed to a customer as such services are provided and the customer will be obligated to make payments for such services typically within a 30-45 day period.
Revenues on a bill-and-hold arrangement are recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer, but physical possession of the product transfers at a point in time in the future. To determine this, the reason for the arrangement must be substantive, the product must be separately identified and ready for physical transfer, the customer has the ability to direct the use of the product and the product cannot be directed to another customer.
The Company has a policy of recording sales incentives as a contra revenue.
The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues.
Any deposits received from a customer prior to delivery of the purchased product or monies paid prior to the period for which a service is provided are accounted for as deferred revenue on the balance sheet.
Sales tax is recorded on a net basis and excluded from revenue.
The Company generally provides a standard one-year warranty on its products for materials and workmanship but may provide multiple year warranties as negotiated, and it will pass on the warranties from its vendors, if any, which generally covers this one-year period. In accordance with ASC 450-20-25, the Company accrues for product warranties when the loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 2021, the Company has no product warranty accrual given the Company’s historical financial warranty expense.
Cost of Revenues
The Company records direct material and component costs, direct labor and associated benefits, and manufacturing overhead costs such as supervision, manufacturing equipment depreciation, rent, and utility costs, all of which are included in inventory prior to a sale, as costs of revenues. The Company further includes shipping and handling costs as cost of revenues.
The Company follows ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” ASC 718 requires companies to estimate and recognize the fair value of stock-based awards to employees and directors. The fair value of the portion of an award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the shorter of the service periods or vesting periods using the straight-line attribution method.
The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 and accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement criteria of ASC 718 and recognizes the fair value of such awards over the service period. The Company used the modified prospective method of adoption.
The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period, and, if dilutive, potential common stock outstanding during the period. Potential common stock consist of the incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options, stock warrants, convertible debt instruments or other common stock equivalents. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Options to purchase of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock were outstanding at June 30, 2021. These shares were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the three or six months ended June 30, 2021 because the effects would have been anti-dilutive. These options and warrants may dilute future earnings per share.
Reclassifications
Where necessary, the prior year’s information has been reclassified to conform to the current period’s statement presentation. On the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows, the amortization of operating lease right of use asset of $24,578 at June 30, 2020 was reclassified from accrued expenses to conform to the June 30, 2021 presentation.
Segments
The Company follows ASC 280-10 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company only operated in one segment; therefore, segment information has not been presented.

On October 18, 2016, the Company entered into a five-year employment agreement, effective as of January 1, 2016, with Mr. Desmond Wheatley, the Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chairman of the Company (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Wheatley received an annual deferred salary of $50,000 which Mr. Wheatley deferred until such time as Mr. Wheatley and the Board of Directors agreed that payment of the deferred salary and/or cessation of the deferral was appropriate. In August 2018, the Agreement was amended to provide that his salary shall defer until the earliest to occur of the following: (i) a permissible event specified in Section 409A of the Code, (ii) December 31, 2020, (iii) a change of control as defined in the Agreement, or (iv) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
All deferred amounts were evidenced by an unsecured convertible promissory note payable by the Company to Mr. Wheatley bearing simple interest at the rate of 10% per annum, accruing until paid, convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $7.50 per share at any time in whole or in part at Mr. Wheatley’s discretion. As the conversion price was equivalent to the fair value of the common stock at various salary deferral dates prior to June 30, 2018, there was no beneficial conversion feature to this note through such date. Subsequent to June 30, 2018 through December 31, 2018, and based on the average daily closing price of our common stock, the Company recorded $8,672 of debt discount for the beneficial conversion feature value which is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the note. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and based on the average daily closing price of our common stock, the Company recorded $3,967 of debt discount for the beneficial conversion feature value which is also being amortized to interest expense over the term of the note. There was no beneficial conversion value and therefore, no debt discount was recorded for any other periods subsequent to March 31, 2019. Additionally, on March 29, 2017, the Board of Directors granted Mr. Wheatley a $35,000 bonus for which Mr. Wheatley agreed to defer such bonus under the same terms of his salary deferral.
On September 17, 2019, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution to pay off the convertible promissory note issued to Mr. Wheatley for his deferred compensation in the near future (subject to a recommendation on timing from Mr. Wheatley), and no additional salary was deferred after September 15, 2019. In February 2020, the remaining debt discount of $5,990 was recorded as interest expense, additional interest of $3,442 was accrued, and the total note of $220,417 and interest of $52,326 was paid to Mr. Wheatley.
On May 1, 2020, the Company received a U.S. Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program loan of $339,262 which was offered through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). This loan was recorded as a note payable, is subject to a 1% annual interest rate and has a two year term. This low interest loan was intended to support short term cash flow in the event we were more heavily impacted by the COVID-19 virus. In July 2020, we were able to raise capital and no longer required the loan. The full amount of the loan was repaid on November 13, 2020 in addition to $1,847 of interest. |

| LEASES |
The Company evaluates new leases at inception based on the criteria defined in Leases (Topic 842). On September 1, 2020, the Company entered into a new five year operating lease with payments ranging from $52,000 to $58,526. The lease has two one-year options to extend the term of the lease. At this time, it is not reasonably certain that we will extend the term of the lease and therefore the renewal periods have been excluded from the right-of-use (“ROU”) asset. We calculated the present value of the lease payment stream using our effective borrowing rate of 10% and recorded a ROU asset and operating lease liability each of $2,605,032 at September 1, 2020. The ROU asset and the corresponding lease liability are being equally amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease which expires on August 31, 2025.
The tables below show the operating ROU assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2020 and the balance as of June 30, 2021, including the changes during the periods.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the current and non-current portions of the lease liability were recorded to the Balance Sheet as follows:
The future minimum rental commitments for our operating leases reconciled to the lease liability as of June 30, 2021 is as follows:

There was no Federal income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020 due to the Company’s net losses. Income tax expense represents minimum state taxes due. As a result of the Company’s history of incurring operating losses, a full valuation allowance has been established to offset all deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2021 and no benefit has been provided for the year to date loss. On a quarterly basis, the company evaluates the positive and negative evidence to assess whether the more likely than not criteria has been satisfied in determining whether there will be further adjustments to the valuation allowance. |

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic. The outbreak of COVID-19 resulted in travel restrictions, quarantines, “stay-at-home” and “shelter-in-place” orders as well as the shutdown of many businesses around the world. To date, while we have seen some delays and cancellations of opportunities in our pipeline as a result of funding issues, priority issues or temporary business closures, the pandemic has not had a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. With the rollout of a COVID-19 vaccine, businesses and governments are beginning to return to pre-pandemic status. However, it is difficult to predict what impact variants of the virus may have in the future or what impact these governmental actions and the widespread economic disruption arising from the pandemic will have on our business in the future.

| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, valuation of inventory and standard cost allocations, depreciable lives of property and equipment, valuation of intangible assets, estimates of loss contingencies, estimates of the valuation of lease liabilities and the related right of use assets, valuation of share-based costs, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity to address the complexity in accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU includes amendments that significantly change the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity and simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments which include beneficial conversion features or cash conversion features by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470-20. The prior conditions were difficult to apply and resulted in circumstances where warrants may have been required to be accounted for as a liability rather than as equity if issued under a registration statement. The Company, in consultation with legal counsel, determined that its outstanding public warrants issued under a Registration Statement on Form S-1 met, and continues to meet, the criteria for equity based on the terms of the warrant. Had the warrants been determined that liability treatment was required, the liability would have been approximately $64 million for the 953,595 public warrants at December 31, 2020 with a non-cash charge to the statement of operations of $61 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The ASU is effective for smaller reporting companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, although early adoption is permitted, as early as fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. As such, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2021, on a full retrospective basis, which will allow the Company to continue to classify the warrants as equity, and as a result, had no effect on its condensed financial statements and related disclosures. If the Company had recorded the warrants as a liability in prior periods, with the full retrospective adoption on January 1, 2021, the liability would have been recast as equity and retained earnings adjusted to reverse the effect of the liability entries and as a result, there would be no impact on the financial statements for any periods presented.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC Topic 326) requiring initial recognition of credit losses, as well as any subsequent change in the estimate, when it is probable that a loss has been incurred. The standard eliminates the threshold for initial recognition in current U.S. GAAP and it covers a broad range of financial instruments, including trade and other receivables at each reporting date. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial assets. The standard is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

| Concentrations | Concentrations
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable.
The Company maintains its cash in banks and financial institution deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts from inception through June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, $25,173,457 of the Company’s cash deposits were greater than the federally insured limits.
Major Customers
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, revenues from four customers accounted for 22%, 18%, 16% and 10% of total revenues, and for the six months ended June 30, 2021, revenues from three customers accounted for 13%, 13% and 11% of total revenues, with no other single customer accounting for more than 10% of revenues. At June 30, 2021, accounts receivable from four customers accounted for 18%, 14%, 14% and 11% of total accounts receivable, with no other single customer accounting for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance.
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, revenues from four customers accounted for 39%, 18%, 12% and 11% of total revenues, and for the six months ended June 30, 2020, revenues from two customers accounted for 20% and 12% of total revenues, with no other single customer accounting for more than 10% of revenues. At June 30, 2020, accounts receivable from six customers accounted for 28%, 11%, 10%, 10%, 10% and 10% of total accounts receivable, with no other single customer accounting for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we had a heavy concentration of sales to federal, state and local governments which represented 78% and 75% of revenues, respectively.
|
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the unaudited condensed statements of cash flows, the Company considers all liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
|
| Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short-term loans, are carried at historical cost basis. At June 30, 2021, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
|
| Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. Management reviews accounts receivable on a periodic basis to determine if any receivables may become uncollectible. Management’s evaluation includes several factors including the aging of the accounts receivable balances, a review of significant past due accounts, dialogue with the customer, the financial profile of a customer, our historical write-off experience, net of recoveries, and economic conditions. The Company includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.
|
| Inventory | Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method of accounting. Inventory costs primarily relate to purchased raw materials and components used in the manufacturing of our products, work in process for products being manufactured, and finished goods. Included in these costs are direct labor and certain manufacturing overhead costs associated with the manufacturing process. The Company regularly reviews inventory components and quantities on hand and performs annual physical inventory counts. A reserve is established if this review process determines the net realizable value of such inventory may be below the carrying value.
|
| Patents | Patents
The Company believes it will achieve future economic value benefits for its patents. All administrative costs for obtaining patents are accumulated on the balance sheet as a patent asset until such time as a patent is issued. The costs of these intangible assets are classified as a long-term asset and amortized on a straight-line basis over the legal life of such asset, which is typically 20 years. In the event a patent is denied or abandoned, all accumulated administrative costs will be expensed in the period in which the patent was denied or abandoned. Patent amortization expense was $9,977 and $2,182 in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
|
| Leases | Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02: “Leases (Topic 842)” whereby lessees need to recognize almost all leases on the balance sheet as a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2019 using the effective date method and applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected not to reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, and (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. The Company has elected to not recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases that have a term of 12 months or less.
|
| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition
Beam follows the revenue standards of Financial Accounting Standards Board Update No. 2014-09: “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The core principle of this Topic is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized in accordance with that core principle by applying the following five steps: 1) identify the contracts with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation.
Revenues are primarily derived from the direct sales of manufactured products. Revenues may also consist of maintenance fees for the maintenance of previously sold products and revenues from sales of professional services.
Revenues from inventoried product are recognized upon the final delivery of such product to the customer or when legal transfer of ownership takes place. Revenue values are fixed price arrangements determined at the time an order is placed or a contract is entered into. The customer is typically obligated to make payment for such products within a 30-45 day period after delivery.
Revenues from maintenance fees for services provided by the Company are recognized equally over the period of the maintenance term. Revenue values are fixed price arrangements determined at the time an order is placed or a contract is entered into. The customer is typically obligated to make payment for the service in advance of the maintenance period.
Extended maintenance or warranty services, where the customer has the option to purchase this extension as a separate purchase option, are considered a separate performance obligation. If the Company does not control the extended services, in terms of having the responsibility for fulfillment of the obligation or the option to choose who will perform the services, the Company is acting as an agent and would report the revenues on a net basis.
Revenues from professional services are recognized when services are performed. Revenue values are based upon fixed fee arrangements or hourly fee-based arrangements with agreed to hourly rates of service categories in line with expertise requirements. These services are billed to a customer as such services are provided and the customer will be obligated to make payments for such services typically within a 30-45 day period.
Revenues on a bill-and-hold arrangement are recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer, but physical possession of the product transfers at a point in time in the future. To determine this, the reason for the arrangement must be substantive, the product must be separately identified and ready for physical transfer, the customer has the ability to direct the use of the product and the product cannot be directed to another customer.
The Company has a policy of recording sales incentives as a contra revenue.
The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues.
Any deposits received from a customer prior to delivery of the purchased product or monies paid prior to the period for which a service is provided are accounted for as deferred revenue on the balance sheet.
Sales tax is recorded on a net basis and excluded from revenue.
The Company generally provides a standard one-year warranty on its products for materials and workmanship but may provide multiple year warranties as negotiated, and it will pass on the warranties from its vendors, if any, which generally covers this one-year period. In accordance with ASC 450-20-25, the Company accrues for product warranties when the loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 2021, the Company has no product warranty accrual given the Company’s historical financial warranty expense.
|
| Cost of Revenues | Cost of Revenues
The Company records direct material and component costs, direct labor and associated benefits, and manufacturing overhead costs such as supervision, manufacturing equipment depreciation, rent, and utility costs, all of which are included in inventory prior to a sale, as costs of revenues. The Company further includes shipping and handling costs as cost of revenues.
|
| Stock-Based Compensation |
The Company follows ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” ASC 718 requires companies to estimate and recognize the fair value of stock-based awards to employees and directors. The fair value of the portion of an award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the shorter of the service periods or vesting periods using the straight-line attribution method.
The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 and accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement criteria of ASC 718 and recognizes the fair value of such awards over the service period. The Company used the modified prospective method of adoption.
The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
|
| Net Loss Per Share |
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period, and, if dilutive, potential common stock outstanding during the period. Potential common stock consist of the incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options, stock warrants, convertible debt instruments or other common stock equivalents. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Options to purchase of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock were outstanding at June 30, 2021. These shares were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the three or six months ended June 30, 2021 because the effects would have been anti-dilutive. These options and warrants may dilute future earnings per share.

| Reclassifications | Reclassifications
Where necessary, the prior year’s information has been reclassified to conform to the current period’s statement presentation. On the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows, the amortization of operating lease right of use asset of $24,578 at June 30, 2020 was reclassified from accrued expenses to conform to the June 30, 2021 presentation.
|
| Segments | Segments
The Company follows ASC 280-10 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company only operated in one segment; therefore, segment information has not been presented.
