KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

NOTE 1    ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization and Operations

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

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2024, and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2024 or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related disclosures as of December 31, 2023 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-K on April 12, 2024. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K.

NOTE 2    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Since the date of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies, except as disclosed in this note.

Going Concern and Management’s Liquidity Plans

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $798,843 and working capital deficit of $3,907,626. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $5,008,876 and used cash in operating activities of $3,907,406.

The Company’s primary source of liquidity has historically been cash generated from equity and debt offerings along with cash flows from revenue. Under ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”), the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, since the Company’s inception we have had a history of recurring net losses from operations, recurring use of cash in operating activities and working capital deficits.

Future cash requirements for our current liabilities include $5,800,667 for accounts payable and accrued expenses, $1,259,534 for merchant cash advances (see Note 9 – Notes Payable), $981,371 for capital expenditures and $435,707 for future payments under operating leases. Future cash requirements for long-term liabilities include $250,000 for unsecured promissory notes.

On December 20, 2023, the Company received a notice of noncompliance from NYSE Regulation (“NYSE”) stating it is not in compliance with Section 1003(a) (iii) in the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) since the Company reported stockholders’ equity of $1,200,172 at September 30, 2023, and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years. On February 12, 2024, the Company received a second notice letter from NYSE stating it is not in compliance with Section 1003 (f) (v) of the Company guide since the Company’s securities were trading at an average of less than $0.20 per share for 30 days.

KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

On March 5, 2024, the Company received a notification from the NYSE that the Company’s plan to regain compliance with Section 1003 (a) (iii) of the Company Guide was accepted and so long as the Company meets its interim objectives, the Company will have until June 20, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement. On May 1, 2024, the Company received a notification from the NYSE stating that the Company had regained compliance with Section 1003 (f) (v) of the Company Guide given the increase in the trading price of the Company’s securities.

The factors above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due within the twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

Management’s plans to mitigate the factors which raise substantial doubt include (i) revenue growth, (ii) reducing operating expenses through careful cost management, and (iii) raising additional funds through future financings.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully execute the aforementioned initiatives.

On April 2, 2024, the Company received cash proceeds of $440,000 related to an unsecured Promissory Note comprised of an initial principal amount of $500,000 and discount of $60,000, for cash proceeds of $440,000. The Promissory Note carries an annual interest rate of 0% and increases to 15% in the event of default and shall be repaid in cash representing all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest due on October 2, 2024, as defined by the terms of the agreement. See Note 12 – Subsequent Events – Promissory Notes for additional information.

On April 9, 2024, the Company received cash proceeds of $200,000 related to an unsecured Promissory Note which matures on the first anniversary of its issuance and carries an annual interest rate of 16%. In the event the promissory note is prepaid within 9 months of its issuance, the holder is entitled to the repayment of principal and cash payment of interest equal to 12% of the prepayment amount. See Note 12 – Subsequent Events – Promissory Notes for additional information.

Subsequent to March 31, 2024, and through May 13, 2024, the Company issued a total of 9,453,767 shares of common stock pursuant to SEPA Advance Notices submitted by the Company to Yorkville for aggregate proceeds of $4,321,479. See Note 12 – Subsequent Events – Standby Equity Purchase Agreement for additional information.

As of the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has no additional commitments to obtain additional funding through future debt or equity financings, or assurance the Company will be able to obtain additional funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its development initiatives or attain profitable operations. The aforementioned factors indicate that management’s plans do not alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

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

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consisted primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company’s concentrations of credit risk also include concentrations from key customers and vendors.

Cash Concentrations

A significant portion of the Company’s cash is held at one major financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Cash held in US bank institutions is currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 at each institution. There were uninsured balances of $298,843 and $694,763 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Customer and Revenue Concentrations

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

Vendor Concentrations

The Company had vendors whose purchases of inventory individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total purchases of inventory, as follows:

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are carried at their contractual amounts, less an estimate for credit losses. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no allowances for credit losses were determined to be necessary. Management estimates the allowance for credit losses based on

11

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

existing economic conditions, the financial conditions of the customers, and the amount and age of past due accounts. Receivables are considered past due if full payment is not received by the contractual due date. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for bad debts only after all collection attempts have been exhausted.

Inventory

The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with products when future commercialization is considered probable, and a future economic benefit is expected to be realized. These costs consist of finished goods, raw materials, manufacturing-related costs, transportation and freight, and other indirect overhead costs.

Inventory is comprised of carbon fiber velvet (“CFV”) thermal interface solutions and internal short circuit batteries, which are available for sale, as well as raw materials and work in process related primarily to the manufacture of safe cases. Safe cases provide a safe and cost-effective solution to commercially store and transport lithium batteries and mitigate the impacts of cell-to-cell thermal runway propagation. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The cost of inventory that is sold to third parties is included within cost of sales and the cost of inventory that is given as samples is included within operating expenses. The Company periodically reviews for slow-moving, excess or obsolete inventories. Products that are determined to be obsolete, if any, are written down to net realizable value. On occasion, the Company pays for inventory prior to receiving the goods. These payments are recorded as inventory deposits until the goods are received and these costs are included in the current asset section of the consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, inventory deposits were $27,500. Finished goods inventory is held on-site at the San Diego, California and Webster, Texas locations. Certain raw materials are held off-site with certain contract manufacturers.

Inventory at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was comprised of the following:

Revenue Recognition

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

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

Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer;
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
Step 3: Determine the transaction price;
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation.

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

Product sales – Revenue is recognized at the point in time the customer obtains control of the goods and the Company satisfies its performance obligation, which is generally at the time it ships the product to the customer.
Contract services – Revenue is recognized pursuant to the terms of each individual contract when the Company satisfies the respective performance obligations, which could be recognized at a point in time or over the term of the contract.

Contract services revenue that is recognized over time, may be recognized using the input method, based on labor hours expended, or using the output method based on milestones achieved, depending on the contract.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common-equivalent shares outstanding during each period.

Operating Leases

The Company leases properties under operating leases. For leases in effect upon adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” at January 1, 2020, and for any leases commencing thereafter, the Company recognizes a liability to make lease payments, the “lease liability”, and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term, the “right-of-use asset”. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The right-of-use asset is measured at the amount of the lease liability adjusted for the remaining balance of any lease incentives received, any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent if the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term, any unamortized initial direct costs, and any impairment of the right-of-use-asset. Operating lease expense consists of a single lease cost calculated so that the remaining cost of the lease is allocated over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis, variable lease payments not included in the lease liability, and any impairment of the right-of-use asset. The Company elected the accounting policy to include both the lease and non-lease components of the agreements as a single component and account for them as a lease.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported results of operations or loss per share.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date on which these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements, except as disclosed in Note 12 – Subsequent Events.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” These amendments require a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Public entities with a single reporting segment are required to provide both the new disclosures and all of the existing disclosures required under ASC 280. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Since this new ASU addresses only disclosures, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have any material effects on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating any new disclosures that may be required upon adoption of ASU 2023-07.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This update also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023 – 09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Since this new ASU addresses only disclosures, the Company

does not expect the adoption to have any material effects on its financial condition, results of operation or cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating any new disclosures that may be required upon adoption of ASU 2023–09.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The guidance is effective for the Company in financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but only at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2024, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

The difference between the total repayment amount and the net proceeds received is being accounted for as an original issue discount, and along with the finder’s fees, is being amortized over thirty weeks using the effective interest rate method and an annualized effective interest rate of 195%. The Second Cash Advance is secured by the Company’s accounts receivable and related cash receipts.

See Note 12 – Subsequent Events – Promissory Notes for information related to notes payable issued subsequent to March 31, 2024, and warrants subsequently issued to satisfy the equity obligation.

NOTE 10 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) and Supplemental SEPA

On May 13, 2022, the Company entered into the SEPA with Yorkville. Pursuant to the SEPA, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Yorkville up to an aggregate of $50,000,000 of its shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at the Company’s request any time during the commitment period commencing on May 13, 2022, and terminating on the first day of the month following the 24-month anniversary of the SEPA.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the weighted average grant date fair value per share of options was $0.14 and $0.67, respectively.

The Company has computed the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Company used the following range of assumptions:

Option forfeitures are accounted for at the time of occurrence. The expected term used is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of employee option grants. The Company utilizes an expected volatility figure based on the historical volatility of its common stock over a period of time equivalent to the expected term of the instrument being valued. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.

As of March 31, 2024, there was $269,531 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the above stock options, which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 2.3 years.

KULR VIBE Solution

During 2022, we acquired intellectual property from Vibetech International, LLC (“Vibetech”), which allows KULR to expand itself as a vertically integrated energy management company focused on sustainable energy solutions. For nearly twenty years, the primary application has been aviation. However, advances in measurement and computing technologies have allowed KULR VIBE to provide transformative and scalable solutions across transportation, renewable energy (wind farm), manufacturing, industrial, performance racing and autonomous aerial (drone) applications among others. KULR VIBE addresses one the most challenging issues with advanced machinery today; excessive energy robbing vibrations that are destructive to both the machinery and in many cases the operator. The KULR VIBE suite of technologies utilize proprietary sensor processes with advanced learning algorithms to both achieve precision balancing solutions, and successfully predict component failure based on its comprehensive database of vibration signatures.

This underscores the Board’s commitment to maintaining alignment with the long-term interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The Independent Members of the Board have determined that the issuance represents a pivotal strategic move to reinforce and enhance the Company’s flexibility to optimize the Company’s negotiating position in any potential current and/or future engagements with commercial, financial, and/or strategic parties, and to provide defenses against potential hostile third-party actions.

Recent Shareholder Vote by Majority Written Consent

On February 9, 2024, the shareholders of the Company, acted by way of majority written consent (in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders) to approve resolutions authorizing the Company’s Board of Directors to take the following actions: (1) to issue shares of Common Stock to current or future engagements with commercial or strategic parties, which may result in issuances of over 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock; (2) to amend the Company’s Bylaws to decrease the number of shares of Common Stock needed to establish a quorum for meetings of stock holders to thirty-three-and-one-third percent (33 1/3 )% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company; (3) to amend the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to effect a reverse split within a ratio range between 1-for-2 and 1-for-80, which the Company has not taken the required action to effect this reverse split; (4) to issue shares of common stock, in connection with an existing financing facility, which may result in the potential issuance of over 20% of the issued and outstanding shares. The resolution was approved by shareholders holding approximately in aggregate of 55.72% of ownership percentage of the voting stock as of February 9, 2024.

Risks Associated with Ongoing Conflicts

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

Additionally, we do not have operations or material net sales in Israel or Gaza and we currently do not expect the recent hostilities in that region to have a material impact on our business.

We cannot predict how the events described above will evolve. If the events continue for a significant period of time or expand to other countries, and depending on the ultimate outcomes of these conflicts, which remain uncertain, they could heighten certain risks disclosed in Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on April 12, 2024, including, but not limited to, adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions, including increased inflation, constraints on the availability of commodities, supply chain disruption and decreased business spending; cyber-incidents; disruptions to our or our business partners’ global technology infrastructure, including through cyber-attack or cyber-intrusion; adverse changes in international trade policies and relations; claims, litigation and regulatory enforcement; our ability to implement and execute our business strategy; terrorist activities; our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations; reputational risk; and constraints, volatility, or disruption in the capital markets, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Compliance with NYSE American Continued Listing Requirements

On December 20, 2023, the Company received a notice of noncompliance (the “Stockholders’ Equity Notice”) from NYSE Regulation (“NYSE”) stating that it is not in compliance with Section 1003(a) (i) in the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) since the Company reported stockholders’ equity of $1,200,172 on September 30, 2023, and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years. Section 1003(a) (iii) of the Company Guide requires a listed company to have stockholders’ equity of $6 million or more if the listed company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years.

As required by the Stockholders’ Equity Notice, on January 19, 2024, the Company submitted a plan (the “Plan”) to NYSE advising of actions it has taken or will take to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by June 20, 2025. NYSE staff will review the Company periodically for compliance with the initiatives outlined in the Plan. If the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards by June 20, 2025, or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the Plan during the Plan period, NYSE staff will initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate.

Table of Contents

On March 5, 2024, the Company received a notification from the NYSE that the Company’s plan to regain compliance with Section 1003 (a) (iii) of the Company Guide was accepted and so long as the Company meets its interim objectives, the Company will have until June 20, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement.

On February 12, 2024, the Company received an additional notice letter from NYSE stating that it is not in compliance with Section 1003(f)(v) of the Company Guide since the Company’s securities were trading at an average of less than $0.20 per share for 30 days. However, on May 1, 2024, the Company received a notification from the NYSE stating that the Company had regained compliance with Section 1003 (f) (v) of the Company Guide given the increase in the trading price of the Company’s securities.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we generated $1,749,104 and $1,759,802 of revenues from 34 and 15 customers, respectively.

Revenue from product sales during the three months ended March 31, 2024, decreased by $1,014,165 or 62% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Product sales include the sales of our component product, internal short circuit (“ISC”) battery cells and devices, and patented TRS technology. We had 25 product sales customers in the first quarter of 2024, compared with 13 in the first quarter of 2023. The decline in product sales can be attributed to several expected first half 2024 orders, which management now expects to receive in the second half of 2024.

Revenue from contract services during the three months ended March 31, 2024, increased by $1,003,467 or 769% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Service revenues include certain research and development contracts and onsite engineering services. We had 14 contract services customers in the first quarter of 2024, compared with 5 in the first quarter of 2023. Four large contracts received during the first quarter of 2024 generated $328,000 of service revenues, while $461,000 of service revenues deferred at December 31, 2023, were recognized in the quarter.

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

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

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

Product mix plays an important part in our reported average margins for any period. Because we are introducing new products at an early stage in our development cycle and the margins earned can vary significantly between periods, customers, products and services due to the learning process, customer negotiating strengths, and product mix.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, cost of revenues was $1,238,315 and $1,116,414, respectively, representing an increase of $121,901 or 11%. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, gross profit was $510,789 and $643,388, respectively, a decline of $132,599 or 21%, which represented gross profit margins of 29% and 37%, respectively. The decrease in the

31

Table of Contents

current period profit margin was primarily due to (a) approximately $250,000 of labor and materials costs in the current period associated with a specific project which had no corresponding current period revenue; and (b) an approximately $167,000 increase in quarterly depreciation expense for revenue generating equipment that was put in service in the last month of the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Research and Development

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

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, R&D expenses were $954,625 and $1,805,015, respectively, representing a decrease of $850,390 or 47%. The decrease was comprised primarily of $429,263 of labor costs allocated to cost of revenue in 1Q24 due to the increase in service revenue, $390,714 related to a planned decrease in R&D consulting services to conserve cash, partially offset by an increase in building related expenses of approximately $50,000 for the facility in Texas.

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

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses consisted primarily of stock-based compensation, marketing and advertising, salaries, payroll taxes and other benefits, Board compensation, accounting and tax, consulting fees, travel and entertainment, rent expense, office expenses, and legal and professional fees.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,212,898 and $5,099,091, respectively, representing a decrease of $886,193 or 17%. The decrease is primarily due to a planned decrease in outsourced services of $575,158, a decrease in conferences and seminars of $127,835 and a decrease of $95,889 for stock-based compensation.

Other Income (Expense)

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, other expense was $352,142 and $342,143, respectively, representing a decrease of $9,999, or 3%. The change is primarily attributable to a decrease of $71,240 for amortization of debt discount in connection with the Prepaid Advance, a decrease of $27,229 for interest recorded in connection with the Prepaid Advance Liability, partially offset by an increase in the change in fair value of accrued issuable equity of $77,110 and an increase of $31,358 due to a 2023 loss on debt extinguishment related to the Prepaid Advance Liability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2024 and December 2023, we had cash balances of $798,843 and $1,194,764, respectively, and a working capital deficit of $3,907,626 and $2,994,753, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $3,907,406 and $4,759,039, respectively. Our net cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily attributable to our net loss of $5,008,876, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $1,853,354, plus $751,884 of net cash used to fund changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities. Our net cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was primarily attributable to our net loss of $6,602,861, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $1,414,023, partially offset by $429,799 of net cash generated by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $13,400 and $358,490, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024, was related to purchases of property and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023, was related to purchases of property and equipment, and the acquisition of an intangible asset.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, net cash provided by financing activities was $3,524,885 and $1,970,000, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024, was due to proceeds from SEPA Advance Notices totaling $2,910,651, and net proceeds from notes payable totaling $963,900, partially offset by notes payable

Table of Contents

repayments of $349,666. Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023, was due to net proceeds from the prepaid advance liability of $1,970,000.

Future cash requirements for our current liabilities include approximately $5.8 million for accounts payable and accrued expenses, $1,259,534 for notes payable, and $435,707 for operating leases. The Company has also committed to spend $981,371 related to capital expenditures for automation equipment.

Future cash requirements for long-term liabilities as of March 31, 2024, include $250,000 for notes payable, and $1,188,259 for operating leases.

Our primary source of liquidity has historically been cash generated from equity and debt offerings. Under ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”), we have the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about our ability to meet future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. We have a history of recurring net losses, recurring use of cash in operations and declining working capital.

On December 20, 2023, we received a Stockholders’ Equity Notice stating we are not in compliance with Section 1003(a) (iii) of the Company Guide since we reported stockholders’ equity of $1,200,172 at September 30, 2023, and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in our five most recent fiscal years. On February 12, 2024, we received a Letter from NYSE stating we are not in compliance with Section 1003(f) (v) of the Company guide since our securities were trading at an average of less than $0.20 per share for 30 days.

On March 5, 2024, the Company received a notification from the NYSE that the Company’s plan to regain compliance with Section 1003 (a) (iii) of the Company Guide was accepted and so long as the Company meets its interim objectives, the Company will have until June 20, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement.   On May 1, 2024, the Company received a notification from the NYSE stating that the Company had regained compliance with Section 1003 (f) (v) of the Company Guide given the increase in the trading price of the Company’s securities.

On April 2, 2024, the Company received cash proceeds of $440,000 related to an unsecured Promissory Note comprised of an initial principal amount of $500,000 and discount of $60,000. The Promissory Note carries an annual interest rate of 0% and increases to 15% in the event of default and has a maturity date of October 2, 2024. See Note 14 – Subsequent Events – for additional information.

On April 9, 2024, the Company received cash proceeds of $200,000 related to an unsecured Promissory Note which matures on the first anniversary of its issuance and carries an annual interest rate of 16%. In the event the promissory note is prepaid within 9 months of its issuance, the holder is entitled to the repayment of principal and cash payment of interest equal to 12% of the prepayment amount. See Note 14 – Subsequent Events –  for additional information.

Subsequent to March 31, 2024, and through May 13, 2024, the Company issued a total of 9,453,767 shares of common stock pursuant to SEPA Advance Notices submitted by the Company to Yorkville for aggregate proceeds of $4,321,479.

As of the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has no additional commitments to obtain additional funding through future debt or equity financings, or that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its development initiatives or attain profitable operations. The aforementioned factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements.

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Critical Accounting Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial results will be affected. The accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates and judgments and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results are described below.

We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. There are items within our financial statements that require estimation but are not deemed critical, as defined above.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 229.10(f) (1) and are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations of the Effectiveness of Controls

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