NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies which have been consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include Flux Power Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Flux Power, Inc. after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions.

Liquidity Considerations

The accompanying financial statements and notes have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the year ended June 30, 2022, the Company generated negative cash flows from operations of $23.9 million and had an accumulated deficit of $81.8 million. Management has evaluated the Company’s expected cash requirements over the next twelve (12) months, including investments in additional sales and marketing and research and development, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements. Management believes the Company’s existing cash and funding available under the SVB Credit Facility and the Subordinated LOC, along with the forecasted gross margin will be sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated capital resources to fund planned operations for the next twelve (12) months.

Historically the Company has not generated sufficient cash to fund its operations. Based on the Company’s ability to recognize revenue from its existing backlog, management anticipates increased revenues along with the planned improvements in its gross margin over the next twelve (12) months. The planned gross margin improvement tasks include, but is not limited to, a plan to drive bill of material costs down while increasing price of our products for new orders. The Company has received new orders in fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, of approximately $65 million and believes through conversations with customers that its anticipation of continued new order increases is probable.

As of September 12, 2022, $3.2 million remained available under the SVB Credit Facility and $4.0 million was available for future draws under the Subordinated LOC. As of September 12, 2022, $5.7 million remained available under the Company’s ATM agreement that could be utilized if necessary. In addition, to support our operations and anticipated growth, we intend to explore additional sources of capital as needed. We also continue to execute our cost reduction, sourcing, pricing recovery initiatives in efforts to increase our gross margins and improve cash flow from operations. Any, unforeseen factors in the general economy beyond management’s control could potentially have negative impact on the planned gross margin improvement plan.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as certain financial statement disclosures. Significant estimates include valuation allowances relating to inventory and deferred tax assets. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, cash was approximately $485,000 and $4,713,000, respectively. Cash consisted of funds held in a non-interest bearing bank deposit account. The Company considers all liquid short-term investments with maturities of less than three months when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of our cash, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and accrued liabilities approximates their estimated fair values due to the short-term maturities of those financial instruments. The carrying amount of the line of credit agreement approximates its fair values as interest approximates current market interest rates for similar instruments. Management has concluded that it is not practical to determine the estimated fair value of amounts due to related parties because the transactions cannot be assumed to have been consummated at arm’s length, the terms are not deemed to be market terms, there are no quoted values available for these instruments, and an independent valuation would not be practical due to the lack of data regarding similar instruments, if any, and the associated potential costs.

The Company does not have any other assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. The Company has not experienced collection issues related to its accounts receivable and has not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts during the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of battery management systems and the related subcomponents and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company evaluates inventories to determine if write-downs are necessary due to obsolescence or if the inventory levels are in excess of anticipated demand at market value based on consideration of historical sales and product development plans. The Company recorded adjustments to inventory reserve related to obsolete and slow moving inventory in the amount of approximately $61,000 and $195,000 during the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, of the related assets ranging from three to ten years, or, in the case of leasehold improvements, over the lesser of the useful life of the related asset or the lease term.

Stock-based Compensation

Pursuant to the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 718-10, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee service, we utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of employee stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fair value of our share-based compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fair value, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stock-based payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances.

Common stock or equity instruments such as warrants issued for services to non-employees are valued at their estimated fair value at the measurement date (the date when a firm commitment for performance of the services is reached, typically the date of issuance, or when performance is complete). If the total value exceeds the par value of the stock issued, the value in excess of the par value is added to the additional paid-in-capital.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance to the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) for all contracts. The Company derives its revenue from the sale of products to customers. The Company sells its products primarily through a distribution network of equipment dealers, OEMs and battery distributors in primarily North America. The Company recognizes revenue for the products when all significant risks and rewards have been transferred to the customer, there is no continuing managerial involvement associated with ownership of the goods sold is retained, no effective control over the goods sold is retained, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transactions will flow to the Company and the costs incurred or to be incurred with respect to the transaction can be measured reliably.

Product revenue is recognized as a distinct single performance obligation which for the Company’s three major customers represents the point in time that they receive delivery of the products, and for all other customers represents the point in time that the Company ships the products. Our customers do have a right to return product but our returns have historically been minimal.

Product Warranties

The Company evaluates its exposure to product warranty obligations based on historical experience. Our products, primarily lift equipment packs, are warrantied for five years unless modified by a separate agreement. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company carried warranty liability of approximately $1,012,000 and $895,000, respectively, which is included in accrued expenses on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

In accordance with authoritative guidance for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, if indicators of impairment exist, the Company assesses the recoverability of the affected long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets can be recovered through the undiscounted future operating cash flows.

If impairment is indicated, the Company measures the amount of such impairment by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the present value of the expected future cash flows associated with the use of the asset. The Company believes that no impairment indicators were present, and accordingly no impairment losses were recognized during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Research and Development

The Company is actively engaged in new product development efforts. Research and development cost relating to possible future products are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

Pursuant to FASB ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes, deferred tax assets or liabilities are recorded to reflect the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities and their tax basis at each year-end. These amounts are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect enacted changes in tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. The Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where the Company is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. As a result, no unrecognized tax benefits have been identified as of June 30, 2022 or June 30, 2021, and accordingly, no additional tax liabilities have been recorded.

The Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and on operating loss carry forwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

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 years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 15,439,530 and 11,796,217, respectively. The Company incurred a net loss for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and therefore, basic and diluted loss per share for each fiscal year were the same because potential common share equivalent would have been anti-dilutive. The total potentially dilutive common shares outstanding at June 30, 2022 and 2021 that were excluded from diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding represent shares underlying outstanding convertible debt, stock options, RSUs, and warrants, and totaled 2,262,773 and 877,740, respectively.

New Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The Company did not adopt any new accounting pronouncements for the year ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
