SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements follows:
 
Principles of Consolidation
   
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the Flux Power Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Flux Power Inc. after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions.
 
Subsequent Events
 
Management has evaluated events subsequent to December 31, 2014, through the date of this filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission for transactions and other events that may require adjustment of and/or disclosure in such financial statements.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation for comparative purposes.
 
Use of Estimates in Financial Statement Preparation
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 accounts receivable, inventory, and deferred tax assets, and valuations of derivative liabilities and equity instruments. 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
  
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 other cash equivalents at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014.
 
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amount of our accounts payable and accounts receivable approximates their estimated fair values due to the short-term maturities of those financial instruments. The carrying amount of notes payable and line of credit approximates their fair value as the interest approximates current market interest rates for the similar instruments. Derivative liabilities recorded in connection with warrants are reported at their estimated fair value, with changes in fair value being reported in results of operations (see Note 8).  Except for derivative liabilities referenced above, the Company does not have any other assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
 
Accounts Receivable and Customer Deposits
 
Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. The Company may require advance deposits from its customers prior to shipment of the ordered products. The Company has not experienced collection issues related to its accounts receivable, and has not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts during the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories consist primarily of battery management systems and the related subcomponents, and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. 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 did not record an adjustment related to obsolete inventory during the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.  
 
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 account.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, price is fixed or determinable, and collectability of the selling price is reasonably assured. Delivery occurs when risk of loss is passed to the customer, as specified by the terms of the applicable customer agreements. When a right of return exists, contractually or implied, the Company recognizes revenue on the sell-through method. Under this method, revenue is not recognized upon delivery of the inventory components. Instead, the Company records deferred revenue upon delivery and recognizes revenue when the inventory components are sold through to the end user. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, and 2013, the Company did not record any deferred revenue.
 
Product Warranties
 
The Company evaluates its exposure to product warranty obligations based on historical experience. Our products are warrantied for five years unless modified by a separate agreement. As of December 31, 2014, the Company carries a warranty liability of approximately $21,000, which is included in accrued expenses on the Company’s balance sheets.
 
Shipping and Handling Costs
 
                The Company records shipping and handling costs charged to customers as revenue and shipping and handling costs to cost of sales as incurred. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded $9,000 and $13,000, respectively, which are included in revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
 
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 are present.
   
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
 
The Company follows 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 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.
 
We also follow the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No.740 relating to uncertain tax provisions and have 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. Based on our analysis, no unrecognized tax benefits have been identified as of December 31, 2014, or June 30, 2014, and accordingly, no additional tax liabilities have been recorded.
 
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
 
The Company calculates basic income (loss) per common share by dividing net earnings or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share include the impact from all dilutive potential common shares relating to outstanding convertible securities.
 
For the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 97,399,546 and 95,628,315, respectively. The Company incurred a net loss for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, and therefore, basic and diluted loss per share for those periods are the same because the inclusion of potential common equivalent shares were excluded from diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period, as the inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2014, there were 2,230,018 potentially dilutive common shares outstanding, which include common shares underlying outstanding stock options that were excluded from diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.
 
For the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 47,715,793 and 47,604,706, respectively. The Company incurred a net loss for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, and therefore, basic and diluted loss per share for those periods are the same because the inclusion of potential common equivalent shares were excluded from diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period, as the inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2014, there were 460,713 potentially dilutive common shares outstanding, which include common shares underlying outstanding stock options that were excluded from diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risk.
 
We evaluate free-standing derivative instruments (or embedded derivatives) to properly classify such instruments within equity or as liabilities in our financial statements. The classification of a derivative instrument is reassessed at each reporting date. If the classification changes because of events during a reporting period, the instrument is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. There is no limit on the number of times a contract may be reclassified.
 
Instruments classified as derivative liabilities are recorded initially at their estimated fair value and are re-measured each reporting period (or upon reclassification). The change in fair value is recorded on our condensed consolidated statements of operations in other (income) expense (see Note 7).
 
New Accounting Standards
 
In August 2014, The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-15 regarding ASC topic No. 205, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern. The standard requires all companies to evaluate if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and requires different disclosure of items that raise substantial doubt bit are, or are not, alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
