Private Placements Fiscal 2015
On July 31, 2014, the board approved a second round of financing for calendar year 2014. As such, starting in August 2014, the Company has been conducting a Private Placement Offering of Units (“September Offering”) that is intended to raise a total of $990,000. As of September 30, 2014, we have sold 1.58 units to 9 accredited investors (“Investors”) for total gross proceeds of $142,500, pursuant to which we issued 1,583,333 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 791,667 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable for three years and each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at $0.25 per share. The units were offered only to accredited investors and the purchase price of each unit was $90,000, with each unit consisting of 1,000,000 shares of common stock and 500,000 warrants. Security Research Associates, Inc. (“SRA”) served as our placement agent. SRA earned a cash commission of $12,825 based on 9% of gross proceeds and was issued a warrant to purchase 142,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.09 for its services as our private placement agent. The cash commission of $12,825 and the estimated fair value of these warrants of approximately $10,300, was recorded as a cost of equity financing. The securities offered and sold have not been registered under the Securities Act. The securities were offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Rule 506 promulgated thereunders.
Private Placements Fiscal 2014 From January to March 2014, the Company conducted a Private Placement Offering of Units (“March Offering”). The Units were offered only to accredited investors and the purchase price of each Unit was $60,000, with each Unit consisting of 1,000,000 shares of common stock and 500,000 warrants. The warrants are exercisable for 5 years and each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. On March 12, 2014, the Company completed the March Offering by selling an aggregate of 32.4 Units to 41 accredited investors resulting in the conversion of debt to equity in the amount of $550,000 and cash proceeds of approximately $1,394,000, and issuance of 32,400,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 16,200,000 shares of common stock. The March Offering was conducted in three tranches. On January 13, 2014, we completed our first tranche of the March Offering by selling 10 Units to Esenjay for an aggregate purchase price of $600,000, of which (i) $200,000 was paid in cash, and (ii) $400,000 was a conversion of $400,000 of principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Note, as amended (see Note 4). In connection with Esenjay’s purchase of the Units, we issued 10,000,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock. On February 14, 2014, we completed our second tranche of the March Offering by selling 2.8 Units to five accredited investors for an aggregate purchase price of $168,000, all of which were paid in cash. In connection with the closing of the second tranche, we issued a total of 2,800,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 1,400,000 shares of our common stock. On March 12, 2014, we completed the final tranche, to a cumulative total of 41 accredited investors, of the March Offering by closing on the sale of 19.6 Units for total purchase price of $1,176,000, pursuant to which we issued 19,600,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 9,800,000 shares of common stock. Esenjay participated in the final tranche by purchasing a total of 2.5 Units for an aggregate purchase price of $150,000, of which the $150,000 was a conversion of principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Note, as amended (see Note 4). On June 11, 2014, the Company converted all $2,586,000 of outstanding principal and $304,000 of accrued interest related to the Revolving Note, Bridge Note and Line of Credit, into common stock and warrants, eliminating all of Flux’s long-term debt. Flux Power’s largest shareholder, Esenjay Investments LLC, converted all of its long-term debt and accrued interest into 12.1 million shares of Flux Power restricted common stock at a price of $0.24 per share. Esenjay was also granted 3-year warrants to purchase 1.9 million shares of common stock at $0.30 per share, as an incentive for the conversion. All of the above mentioned debt conversions have been accounted for as a capital transaction in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 470-50-40, “ Debt, Modifications and Extinguishments ”. Accordingly, no gain or loss has been recognized. Security Research Associates Inc. (“SRA”) of San Francisco served as Company’s placement agent in connection with the March Offering. The Company engaged SRA for services rendered in conjunction with this March Offering and paid cash compensation in the amount of 9% of the gross proceeds raised and a warrant to purchase the number of shares of common stock equal to 9% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the March Offering received by the Company from all investors placed by SRA divided by $0.06 per share. The Company paid SRA $107,460 and issued a warrant to purchase 1,791,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.06 for its services as the Company’s private placement agent in the March Offering. The newly appointed director and executive chairman of the Board of Directors, Timothy Collins, is the Chief Executive Officer, President, director and shareholder of SRA. In connection with the March Offering, the Company inadvertently in error issued duplicate stock certificates representing an aggregate of 600,000 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result, there was an additional 600,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the records of the Company’s transfer agent as of June 30, 2014. The Company has already corrected this error. The number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding reflected in the financial statements and these notes exclude 600,000 shares of common stock which were inadvertently issued in error. All such common share certificates have been returned as of July 2014. The securities offered and sold in the Offering have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). The Securities were offered and sold to accredited investors in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. Private Placements Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012 During fiscal years 2012 and 2013, the Company issued 5,347,839 shares of common stock and 1,069,570 five year warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.41 per share, resulting in aggregate proceeds of approximately $2,215,000, pursuant to private placement transactions. Tranches of these transactions closed during each month during June through August of 2012 and a final tranche in October of 2012. Repricing of Warrants The fiscal year 2013 and fiscal year 2012 offering (see above) included warrants issued at a price of $0.20, which triggered an anti-dilution protection for Company’s warrant holders issued under our 2012 Private Placements that were issued for an offering price of our common stock at $0.41. As a result, the Board of Directors gave approval to amend the exercise price of 2,907,347 common share purchase warrants issued by way of our completed 2012 Private Placements, which included the July, August and October 2012 closings of 507,019, our June 2012 closing of 562,551 and the Baytree advisory agreement warrants of 1,837,777. The exercise price of the 2,907,347 common share purchase warrants was reduced to $0.27 from $0.41 per warrant share and applies to all warrants issued in our 2012 Private Placements. On April 2, 2014, the Company provided notice of adjustment to the Warrant Holders in accordance with the applicable section of the warrant certificate. The remaining terms, including expiration dates, of all warrants remain unchanged. The modified exercise price of the warrants to $0.27 resulted in a repricing modification charge of $98,000 that was recorded as a cost of capital raised in connection with the offering. For subsequent stock and warrant issuances including the debt conversion on June 11, 2014, the private placements in August and September, and the convertible credit line in September, the review of potential repricing of warrants resulted no further change from the exercise price of $0.27. Advisory Agreements Catalyst Global LLC. On October 14, 2013, the Company entered into a contract with Catalyst Global LLC (“CGL”), pursuant to which CGL agreed to provide investor relations services for 12 months in exchange for monthly fees of $2,000 per month and 450,000 shares of restricted common stock issued as follows: 180,000 shares upon signing and the balance vesting pro rata upon each of the three-, six-, and nine-month anniversaries of the contract.

Stock-based Compensation
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company issued 400,000 non-qualified stock options of the Company’s common stock to a consultant, pursuant to a consulting agreement. These options were valued using the Black-Scholes model on the day they were originally due to be issued per agreement, and the Company recorded an accrual in the amount of $76,000 during the year ended June 30, 2014. Such options were issued in July 2014 when the current fair value of $64,000 was determined using the Black-Scholes model. The change in fair value of $12,000 was recorded as a reduction to stock based compensation expense during the period ended September 30, 2014. The Company has not registered the shares of common stock underlying stock options outstanding as of September 30, 2014. Activity in options during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and related balances outstanding as of that date are reflected below:
Activity in options during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and related balances outstanding as of that date are reflected below:
Stock-based compensation expense recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 includes compensation expense for stock-based options and awards granted, based on the grant date fair value. For options and awards granted, expenses are amortized under the straight-line method over the expected vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations has been reduced for estimated forfeitures of options that are subject to vesting. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The closing price of our stock at September 30, 2014 was $0.11. As a result, the intrinsic value of the exercisable options at September 30, 2014 is $90,000. We allocated stock-based compensation expense included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for employee option grants and non-employee option grants as follows:
The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the fair value of stock options. The fair value of stock options was measured at the grant date using the assumptions (annualized percentages) in the table below:
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, options granted were fully vested on the grant date. Accordingly, a forfeiture rate was not factored into the expense calculation. On options that have vesting, the current forfeiture rate of 17% will be used.
The remaining amount of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense at September 30, 2014 is approximately $355,000, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.8 years.
