SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report contains forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in the section captioned “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the factors described in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 filed with the SEC on September 27, 2021. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “should,” “would,” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties. You should read these factors and the other cautionary statements made in this report and in the documents we incorporate by reference into this report as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this report or the documents we incorporate by reference into this report. If one or more of these factors materialize, or if any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

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

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2021

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim reports of companies filing as a smaller reporting company. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 filed with the SEC on September 27, 2021. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period. Certain notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K have been omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2021 has been derived from the audited balance sheet at June 30, 2021 contained in such Form 10-K.

 

Nature of Business

 

Flux Power Holdings, Inc. (“Flux”) was incorporated in 1998 in the State of Nevada, and Flux’s operations are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiary, Flux Power, Inc. (“Flux Power”), a California corporation (collectively, the “Company”).

 

We design, develop, manufacture, and sell a portfolio of advanced lithium-ion energy storage solutions for electrification of a range of industrial commercial sectors which include material handling, airport ground support equipment (“GSE”), and stationary energy storage. We believe our mobile and stationary energy storage solutions provide customers with a reliable, high performing, cost effective, and more environmentally friendly alternative as compared to traditional lead acid and propane-based solutions. Our modular and scalable design allows different configurations of lithium-ion battery packs to be paired with our proprietary wireless battery management system to provide the level of energy storage required and “state of the art” real time monitoring of pack performance. We believe that the increasing demand for lithium-ion battery packs and more environmentally friendly energy storage solutions in the material handling sector should continue to drive our revenue growth.

 

As used herein, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Flux,” and “Company” mean Flux Power Holdings, Inc., unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts herein are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $75,411,000 through December 31, 2021 and a net loss of $5,077,000 and $9,207,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, respectively. To date, the Company’s revenues and operating cash flows have not been sufficient to sustain its operations and the Company has relied on debt and equity financing to fund its operations. Delays in the receipt of key component parts due in part to supply chain disruptions as well as recent changes in the design of the product offering have impacted the Company’s ability to fulfill the backlog of sales orders as planned. These events have placed pressure on the Company’s margins and cash resources and raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months following the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $7,855,000 and may need to raise additional capital in the near future. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to ship open sales orders, improve its margins, reduce operating costs and raise additional capital on a timely basis until such time as revenues and related cash flows are sufficient to fund its operations.

 

Management has undertaken steps to improve operations with the goal of sustaining its operations. These steps include actual and planned price increases for our energy storage solutions, a number of cost saving initiatives including product cost efficiencies from design changes and planned operating cost savings. In addition, $2.5 million currently remains available under the existing working capital line of credit.

 

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to liquidate its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts that may differ from those reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. There is no guarantee that additional funds will be available if needed on a timely basis or on acceptable terms. If such funds are not available when required, management will be required to curtail investments in additional sales and marketing and product development, which may have a material adverse effect on future cash flows and results of operations and the ability to continue operating as a going concern.

 

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 3, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. There have been no material changes in these policies or their application.

 

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Net Loss Per Common Share

 

The Company calculates basic loss per common share by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted loss per common share includes the impact from all dilutive potential common shares relating to outstanding convertible securities.

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 15,987,502 and 11,633,793, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 14,895,989 and 10,647,181, respectively. The Company incurred a net loss for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and therefore, basic and diluted loss per share for the periods were the same because potential common share equivalent would have been anti-dilutive. The total potentially dilutive common shares outstanding at December 31, 2021 and 2020 that were excluded from diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding represent shares underlying outstanding convertible debt, stock options, RSUs, and warrants, and totalled 2,092,851 and 1,562,019, respectively.

Accrued expenses consist of the following:

NOTE 5 – NOTES PAYABLE

 

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

 

On May 1, 2020, the Company applied for and received a loan from the Bank of America, NA (the “BOA”) in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $1,297,000 (the “PPP Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan was evidenced by a promissory note dated May 1, 2020, issued by Flux Power to the BOA (the “PPP Note”). The PPP Loan had a two-year term and bore interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments were deferred for six months after the date of disbursement. The Company received the funds on May 4, 2020. On February 9, 2021, the Company was notified that the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) had forgiven repayment of the entire PPP Loan of approximately $1,297,000 in principal, together with all accrued interest of approximately $10,000. The Company recorded the entire forgiven principal and accrued interest amount of approximately $1,307,000 as other income in its statement of operations on February 9, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance of the PPP Loan was $0.

 

The SBA reserves the right to audit any PPP loan, regardless of size. These audits may occur after forgiveness has been granted. In accordance with the CARES Act, all borrowers are required to maintain their PPP loan documentation for six years after the PPP loan was forgiven or repaid in full and to provide that documentation to the SBA upon request.

Revolving Line of Credit

 

On November 9, 2020, the Company entered into a certain Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”). On October 29, 2021, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (“First Amendment” and together with the Loan Agreement, the “Amended Loan Agreement”) with SVB which amended certain terms of the Loan Agreement including, but not limited to, increasing the amount of the revolving line of credit from $4.0 million to $6.0 million, and extending the maturity date to November 7, 2022. The Amended Loan Agreement provides the Company with a senior secured credit facility for up to $6.0 million available on a revolving basis (“Revolving LOC”). Outstanding principal under the Revolving LOC accrues interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) Prime Rate plus two and a half percent (2.50%) or (ii) five and three-quarters percent (5.75%). Interest payments are due on the last day of the month. Should an event of default occur, the interest rate per annum will be increased to five percent (5.0%) above the rate that otherwise would have been applicable to such amounts owed. The Company paid a non-refundable commitment fee of $15,000 upon execution of the Loan Agreement and an additional non-refundable commitment fee of $22,500 in connection with the First Amendment. In addition, the Company is required to pay a quarterly unused facility fee equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum of the average daily unused portion of the $6.0 million commitment under the Revolving LOC, depending upon availability of borrowings under the Revolving LOC.  Amounts outstanding under the Revolving LOC are secured by substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company (including, without limitation, intellectual property) pursuant to the terms of the Amended Loan Agreement and the Intellectual Property Security Agreement dated as of October 29, 2021. As of December 31, 2021 the outstanding balance under the Revolving LOC was $3,500,000 and the remaining available balance was $2,500,000.

 

NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY DEBT AGREEMENTS

 

As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the Company had no outstanding related party debt agreements. Related party debt agreements that existed during the 2020 periods covered by the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are described below.

On August 31, 2020, the Company entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement and pursuant to which the Company further amended the Esenjay Note to, among other items, transfer all remaining principal and accrued interest outstanding of approximately $564,000 into the amended Credit Facility Agreement. (See “Credit Facility” below).

On March 22, 2018, Flux Power entered into a credit facility agreement with Esenjay with a maximum borrowing amount of $5,000,000 (the “Original Agreement”). The Original Agreement was amended multiple times to allow for, among other things, an increase in the maximum principal amount available under line of credit (“LOC”) to $12,000,000, the inclusion of additional lenders and extension of the maturity date to September 30, 2021.

 

In August 2020, the Company paid down an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1,402,000 of the outstanding balance under the LOC. On August 31, 2020, the Company entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement (“Third Amended and Restated Facility Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company (i) extended the maturity date to September 30, 2021, and (ii) allowed for the transfer of outstanding obligations under the Esenjay Note of approximately $564,000 into the LOC as noted above. In November 2020, lenders holding an aggregate of approximately $2,161,000 in principal and accrued interest elected to convert their notes into 540,347 shares of common stock at a price of $4.00 per share. In January and March 2021, the lenders holding an aggregate of approximately $2,632,000 in principal and accrued interest elected to convert their notes into 658,103 shares of common stock at a price of $4.00 per share of which approximately $1,045,000 was held by Esenjay and converted to 261,133 shares of common stock.

The Unsecured Promissory Note had an interest rate of 15.0% per annum and was originally due on September 1, 2019, unless repaid earlier from a percentage of proceeds from certain identified accounts receivable. In connection with the Cleveland Loan, the Company issued Cleveland a three-year warrant (the “Cleveland Warrant”) to purchase the Company’s common stock in a number equal to 0.5% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to the shares of common stock sold in a contemplated public offering and with an exercise price equal to the per share price of the common stock sold in the public offering.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto and Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

 

Business Overview

 

We design, develop, manufacture, and sell a portfolio of advanced lithium-ion energy storage solutions for electrification of a range of industrial commercial sectors which include material handling, airport ground support equipment (“GSE”), and stationary energy storage. We believe our mobile and stationary energy storage solutions provide our customers a reliable, high performing, cost effective, and more environmentally friendly alternative as compared to traditional lead acid and propane-based solutions. Our modular and scalable design allows different configurations of lithium-ion battery packs to be paired with our proprietary wireless battery management system to provide the level of energy storage required and “state of the art” real time monitoring of pack performance. We believe that the increasing demand for lithium-ion battery packs and more environmentally friendly energy storage solutions in the material handling sector should continue to drive our revenue growth.

 

Our long-term strategy is to meet the rapidly growing demand for lithium-ion energy solutions and to be the supplier of choice, targeting large companies having energy storage needs. We have established selling relationships with large fleets of forklifts and GSEs. We intend to reach this goal by investing in research and development to expand our product mix, by expanding our sales and marketing efforts, improving our customer support efforts and continuing our efforts to improve production capacity and efficiencies. Our research and development efforts will continue to focus on providing adaptable, reliable and cost-effective energy storage solutions for our customers. We have filed three new patents on advanced technology related to lithium-ion battery packs. The technology behind these pending patents are designed to:

 

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

 

Our largest sector of penetration thus far has been the material handling sector which we believe is a multi-billion dollar addressable market. We believe the sector will provide us with an opportunity to grow our business as we enhance our product mix and service levels and grow our sales to large fleets of forklifts and GSEs. Applications of our modular packs for other industrial and commercial uses, such as solar energy storage, are providing additional current growth and further opportunities. We intend to continue to expand our supply chain and customer partnerships and seek further partnerships and/or acquisitions that provide synergy to meeting our growth and “building scale” objectives.

 

The following table summarizes the new orders, shipments, and backlog activities for the last six (6) fiscal quarters:

 

Fiscal Quarter Ended   Beginning Backlog   New Orders   Shipments   Ending Backlog 
September 30, 2020   $3,151,000   $3,924,000   $4,547,000   $2,528,000 
December 31, 2020   $2,528,000   $6,561,000   $6,330,000   $2,759,000 
March 31, 2021   $2,759,000   $9,977,000   $6,826,000   $5,910,000 
June 30, 2021   $5,910,000   $15,053,000   $8,339,000   $12,624,000

“Backlog” represents the amount of anticipated revenues we may recognize in the future from existing contractual orders with customers that are in progress and have not yet shipped. Backlog values may not be indicative of future operating results as orders may be cancelled, modified or otherwise altered by customers. In addition, our ability to realize revenue from our backlog will be dependent on the delivery of key parts from our suppliers and our ability to manufacture and ship our products to customers in a timely manner. There can be no assurance that outstanding customer orders will be fulfilled as expected and that our backlog will result in future revenues. 

 

As of February 7, 2022, our order backlog was approximately $34.8 million .

 

Business Updates

 

Due to the growth in orders for our energy storage solutions and accessories, coupled with supply chain disruptions due to COVID-19 delaying our ability to fulfill such orders, we have experienced an increase in our backlog of open orders.

 

Supply Chain Issues and Higher Procurement Costs

 

Due to COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions continue, notably with delivery delays at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. In addition, the price of steel and certain other electrical components used in our products have seen dramatic increases, along with shipping costs. No abatement to these challenges is anticipated within the next several months, and it is impossible to predict how long the current disruptions to price and component parts availability will last. We implemented a price increase on certain new product orders in October of 2021 to offset rising global costs of raw materials and component parts. In addition, we had increased inventory to $19.5 million at December 31, 2021 to mitigate supply chain disruptions and support timely deliveries. However, there can be no assurance that such increases or any future increases will be sufficient to offset continued rising costs.

 

To address some of the negative consequences to our business, we implemented a number of new strategic initiatives:

 

Strategic Initiatives.

 

Improve and expand our supply chain and production staff and processes to overcome challenges of supply chain disruptions;
Introduce new product designs to lower costs, simplify the bill of materials, and improved serviceability;
Improve our manufacturing capacity and production facility to increase throughput and fulfill our backlog;
Transition product lines to a new cell technology including revised UL Listing and OEM approvals in efforts to lower costs of production, improve supplier reliability, and higher energy capabilities of our solutions
Expand our customer base, particularly among Fortune 100 & 500 companies;
Deploy our Sky BMS telematics technology to many users.

 

There can be no assurance that our 2022 initiatives and efforts to mitigate the supply chain issues and rising costs will be successful.

 

Recent Corporate Developments

 

New Director Appointment

 

On January 14, 2022, our Board elected to increase the number of directors on the Board from five (5) to six (6). Immediately thereafter, the Board appointed Ms. Cheemin Bo-Linn to the Company’s Board. In addition, Ms. Bo-Linn was appointed as a member of the Company’s Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (“Committees”). The Board has determined that Ms. Bo-Linn satisfies the definition of “independent director” and the requirements for service on the Board’s Committees under the NASDAQ listing standards. As a result of Ms. Bo-Linn’s appointment on the Committees, each Committee now consists of four (4) independent directors.

Amended Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter

 

On January 14, 2022, the Board approved amending the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter to reflect that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consist of at least three (3) directors. The amended Nominating and Corporate Governance Charter is posted on the Company’s website www.fluxpower.com.

 

COVID-19 Update

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to impact both global and domestic businesses and many economic activities. The COVID-19 pandemic has placed significant pressures on our supply chains causing supply shortages, price increases, and delays in productions. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has also placed additional safety regulations and monitoring measures on companies. The Company began implementing COVID-19 measures in March 2020 as recommended by the CDC and other governmental authorities. The Company has had to navigate staffing requirements as certain employees tested positive for COVID-19. Our manufacturing operations have not yet experienced production stoppages, however, we have experience negative consequences such as disruptions in the supply chain and price increases. Therefore, we remain subject to significant risks of supply shortages, delays in shipping, and price increases that could materially affect our financial condition and operating results.

Revenues

 

Revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, increased by $1,221,000 or 19% to $7,690,000, compared to $6,469,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The increase in revenues was due to sales of energy storage solutions with higher selling prices and a higher volume of units sold. The increase in revenues included both greater sales to existing customers as well as initial sales to new customers.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, increased by $1,688,000, or 33%, to $6,648,000 compared to $4,980,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The increase in cost of sales was directly associated with higher sales of energy storage solutions, as well as increased costs of steel, electronic parts, and common off the shelf parts chiefly as a result of the supply chain interruptions. Cost of sales as a percent of revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 was 86%, an increase of 9 percentage points over 77% for the same period last year as described above.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 decreased by $447,000 or 30%, to $1,042,000 compared to $1,489,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The gross profit margin (gross profit as a percent of revenues) decreased to 14% for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 compared to 23% for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. Gross profit was negatively impacted by higher costs for steel, electronic parts, and common off the shelf parts during quarter ended December 31, 2021, partially offset by higher revenues directly associated with higher sales of energy storage solutions.

 

Selling and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling and administrative expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 increased by $865,000 or 28%, to $4,000,000 compared to $3,135,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in personnel expenses related to new hires and temporary labor, outbound shipping costs, and an increase in insurance premiums, partially offset by a decrease in marketing expenses and professional service fees including accounting and legal expenses.

 

Research and Development Expense

 

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 increased by $494,000 or 31%, to $2,088,000 compared to $1,594,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. Such expenses consisted primarily of materials, supplies, salaries and personnel related expenses, product testing, consulting, and other expenses associated with revisions to existing product designs and new product development. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to expenses related to UL certifications, higher personnel expenses related to new hires and temporary labor.

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 decreased by $93,000 or 25% to $31,000 compared to $124,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. Interest expense was primarily related to our outstanding lines of credit and convertible promissory note.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 increased by $1,713,000 or 51%, to $5,077,000 as compared to $3,364,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The increase is primarily attributable to increased operating expenses, and decrease gross profit, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

As of December 31, 2021, we had a cash balance of $7,855,000 and an accumulated deficit of $75,411,000. Our business has not generated sufficient cash to fund our historical operations, and we will need additional cash and capital resources to support our planned operations and to execute our business plan. However, we believe that our existing cash and additional funding of $2.5 million available under our working capital line of credit for up to $6.0 million with Silicon Valley Bank, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital resources to fund planned operations for the next twelve months. See “Future Liquidity Needs” below. 

 

Cash Flows

 

Cash Flow Summary

 

   Six Months Ended December 31, 
   2021   2020

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $530,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and consisted primarily of the costs of internal software development and purchase of furniture and equipment and warehouse equipment.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $417,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and consisted primarily of the costs of internal software development and purchase of furniture and equipment and warehouse equipment.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $19,073,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2021, which primarily consisted of $13,971,000 in net proceeds from issuances of common stock in the registered direct offering closed on September 27, 2021, $3,500,000 in borrowing under the working capital line of credit, and $1,602,000 in net proceeds from sales of common stock under our ATM Offering.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $14,634,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2020, which primarily consisted of $10,698,000 in net proceeds from issuances of common stock in the public offering, $3,200,000 from a private placement, and $3,336,000 in net proceeds from sales of common stock under our ATM offering, which were partially offset by $2,580,000 in payments of outstanding related party borrowings, and $20,000 in payment of financing lease payable.

 

Future Liquidity Needs 

 

We have evaluated our expected cash requirements over the next twelve months, which include, but are not limited to, investments in additional sales and marketing and research and development, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements. We believe that our existing cash and additional funding available under our working capital line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital resources to fund planned operations for the next twelve months. However, any delays in the receipt of key component parts due in part to supply chain disruptions will impact our ability to fulfill the backlog of sales orders, hence impacting our margins and cash resources, as such we have determined that our anticipated cash resources may not be sufficient to meet our planned operational needs during the next twelve months, and that additional financing may be required to support current operations. Based on our current and planned levels of expenditures, we may need to raise cash in the near future to fund current and planned operations until such time as revenues and related cash flows become sufficient to support our operating costs. We continue to have positive gross margin which has improved cash flow from operations.

 

Although management believes that the additional required funding will be obtained, there is no guarantee that additional funds will be available if needed on a timely basis or on acceptable terms. If such funds are not available when required, management will be required to curtail investments in additional sales and marketing and product development, which may have a material adverse effect on future cash flows and results of operations and the ability to continue operating as a going concern.

 

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

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Information with respect to our critical accounting policies which we believe could have the most significant effect on our reported results and require subjective or complex judgments by management is contained in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

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

 

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Act of 1934. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be included in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, relating to the Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, and was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared. Based on the management’s assessment and review of our financial statements and results for the six months ended December 31, 2021, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for purposes stated above.

 

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

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the six months ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

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

 

ITEM 1A - RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks set forth in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on September 27, 2021, before making an investment decision. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should read the section captioned “Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” above for a discussion of what types of statements are forward-looking statements, as well as the significance of such statements in the context of this report.
