NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER
31, 2018
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, 2018
filed with the SEC on September 26, 2018. 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,
2018 has been derived from the audited balance sheet at June 30,
2018 contained in such Form 10-K.
Nature
of Business
Flux
Power Holdings, Inc. designs, develops and sells rechargeable
advanced lithium-ion batteries for industrial equipment. As used
herein, the terms “we”, “us”,
“our”, “Flux” and “Company”
refer to Flux Power Holdings, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiary,
Flux Power, Inc. (“Flux Power”), unless otherwise
indicated. We have structured our business around our core
technology, the “Battery Management System”
(“BMS”). Our BMS provides three critical functions to
our battery systems: cell balancing, monitoring and error
reporting. Using our proprietary management technology, we are able
to offer complete integrated energy storage solutions or custom
modular standalone systems to our customers. We have also developed
a suite of complementary technologies and products that accompany
our core products. Sales have been primarily to customers located
throughout the United States.
NOTE
2 – LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying 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 $31,987,000 through December 31, 2018 and had a net loss
of $2,924,000 and $5,325,000 for the three and six month ended
December 31, 2018, respectively. To date, our revenues and
operating cash flows have not been sufficient to sustain our
operations and we have relied on debt and equity financing to fund
our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months
following the filing date of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,
February 13, 2019. Our ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital on a timely
basis until such time as revenues and related cash flows are
sufficient to fund our operations.
Management
has undertaken steps to improve operations with the goal of
sustaining our operations. These steps include (a) developing
additional products to serve the Class 1 and Class 2 industrial
equipment markets; (b) expand our sales efforts; and (c) improve
gross margins. In that regard, we have increased our research and
development efforts to focus on completing the development of
energy storage solutions that can be used on larger forklifts and
have implemented additional marketing efforts. Those efforts have
resulted in ongoing evaluations of battery packs on larger
forklifts and ground support equipment (“GSE”) along
with commercial sales of GSE packs, End Rider packs, Class 2 packs
and Class 1 packs.
We have
evaluated our expected cash requirements over the next twelve
months, which include, but are not limited to, investments in
additional sales, marketing, and product development resources,
capital expenditures, and working capital requirements and have
determined that our existing cash resources are not sufficient to
meet our anticipated needs during the next twelve months, and that
additional financing is required to support current operations.
Based on our current and planned levels of expenditure, we estimate
that total financing proceeds of approximately $10,300,000 will be
required to fund current and planned operations for the twelve
months following the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q. In addition, we anticipate that further additional financing
may be required to fund our business plan subsequent to that date,
until such time as revenues and related cash flows become
sufficient to support our operating costs.
We
intend to continue to seek capital through the sale of equity
securities through private or public placements and debt
placements.
Although management
believes that the additional required funding will be obtained,
there is no guarantee we will be able to obtain the additional
required funds on a timely basis or that funds will be available on
terms acceptable to us. If such funds are not available when
required, management will be required to curtail its investments in
additional sales, marketing, and product development resources, and
capital expenditures, which may have a material adverse effect on
our future cash flows and results of operations, and our ability to
continue operating as a going concern. The accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments that would be necessary
should we be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore,
be required to liquidate our assets and discharge our 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.
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, 2018.
There have been no material changes in these policies or their
application.
Reclassifications
Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current period presentation for comparative purposes.
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, 2018 and 2017, basic and diluted
weighted-average common shares outstanding were 41,966,786 and
25,097,827, respectively. For the six months ended December 31,
2018 and 2017, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares
outstanding were 36,517,598 and 25,108,859, respectively. The
Company incurred a net loss for the three and six months ended
December 31, 2018 and 2017, and therefore, basic and diluted loss
per share for the 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. The total
potentially dilutive common shares outstanding at December 31, 2018
and 2017, excluded from diluted weighted-average common shares
outstanding, which include common shares underlying outstanding
convertible debt, stock options and warrants, were 5,441,481 and
18,848,448, respectively.
Income Taxes
We
follow the liability method of accounting for income taxes under
which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences of (i) temporary differences between
the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts
in the consolidated financial statements and (ii) operating
loss and tax credit carry-forwards for tax purposes. Deferred tax
assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, based upon
management’s estimates, it is more likely than not that a
portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized in a future
period. We recognized a full valuation allowance as of December 31,
2018 and June 30, 2018 and have not recognized any tax
provision or benefit for any of the periods presented. We review
our tax positions quarterly for tax uncertainties. We did not have
any uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2018 or June
30, 2018.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
On June 20, 2018, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting
Standards Update (ASU) 2018-07, Compensation—Stock
Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based
Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 is
intended to reduce the cost and complexity and to improve financial
reporting for share-based payments to nonemployees for goods and
services. The amendments in ASU 2018-07 are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods
therein.
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.
NOTE
4 - RELATED PARTY DEBT AGREEMENTS
Esenjay Credit Facilities
Between
October 2011 and September 2012, the Company entered into three
debt agreements with Esenjay Investments, LLC
(“Esenjay”). Esenjay is deemed to be a related party as
Mr. Michael Johnson, the beneficial owner and director of Esenjay,
is a current member of our board of directors and a major
shareholder of the Company (owning approximately 62% of our
outstanding common shares as of December 31, 2018). The three debt
agreements consisted of a Bridge Loan Promissory Note, a Secondary
Revolving Promissory Note and an Unrestricted Line of Credit
(collectively, the “Loan Agreements”). On December 31,
2015, the Bridge Loan Promissory Note and the Secondary Revolving
Promissory Note expired, leaving the Unrestricted Line of Credit
available for future draws.
The
Unrestricted Line of Credit had a maximum borrowing amount of
$10,000,000, was convertible at a rate of $0.60 per share, bore
interest at 8% per annum and was to mature on January 31,
2019.
On
March 22, 2018, Flux Power entered into a credit facility agreement
with Esenjay with a maximum borrowing amount of $5,000,000.
Proceeds from the credit facility are to be used to purchase
inventory and related operational expenses and accrue interest at a
rate of 15% per annum (the “Inventory Line of Credit”).
The outstanding balance of the Inventory Line of Credit and accrued
interest is due and payable on March 31, 2019. Funds received from
Esenjay since December 5, 2017 were transferred to the Inventory
Line of Credit resulting in $2,405,000 outstanding as of December
31, 2018 and $2,595,000 available for future draws, subject to the
lender’s approval. During the three months ended December 31,
2018, the Company recorded approximately $91,000 of interest
expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of
operations related to the Inventory Line of Credit.
On
October 31, 2018, the Company entered into an Early Note Conversion
Agreement (the “Early Note Conversion Agreement”) with
Esenjay, pursuant to which Esenjay agreed to immediately exercise
its conversion rights under the Unrestricted and Open Line of
Credit, dated September 24, 2012 to convert the outstanding
principal amount of $7,975,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest of
$1,041,280 for 15,027,134 shares of the Company’s common
stock. The Company followed FASB ASC Topic No.470, Debt to record the early conversion of
debt to equity. The Early Note Conversion Agreement had an induced
conversion which included issuance of 268,018 additional shares of
common stock and recorded as interest expense at the stock’s
fair value of $466,351 at October 31, 2018.
Shareholder Convertible Promissory Note
On
April 27, 2017, we formalized an oral agreement for advances
totaling $500,000, received from a shareholder
(“Shareholder”) into a written Convertible Promissory
Note (the “Convertible Note”). Borrowings under the
Convertible Note accrue interest at 12% per annum, with all unpaid
principal and accrued interest due and payable on October 27, 2018.
In addition, at any time commencing on or after the date that is
six (6) months from the issue date, at the election of Shareholder,
all or any portion of the outstanding principal, accrued but unpaid
interest and/or late charges under the Convertible Note may be
converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a
conversion price of $1.20 per share; provided, however, the
Shareholder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the
Convertible Note to the extent that the Shareholder would
beneficially own in excess of 5% of the total number of shares of
common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the
issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the
Convertible Note.
On
October 25, 2018, the Company and the Shareholder entered into an
amendment to the Convertible Promissory Note. The amendment (i)
extended the maturity date of the Convertible Note from October 27,
2018 to February 1, 2019 and (ii) allowed for the automatic
conversion of the Convertible Note immediately following the full
conversion of the line of credit granted by Esenjay to the Company
under the Esenjay Loan into shares of Common Stock of the Company.
As a result of the conversion of the Esenjay Loan on October 31,
2018, the Shareholder Convertible Note of $500,000 plus accrued
interest of $102,510 automatically converted into 502,091 shares of
common stock.
Shareholder Short Term Lines of Credit
On
October 26, 2018, the Company entered into a credit facility
agreement with Cleveland Capital, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership (“Cleveland”), our minority shareholder,
pursuant to which Cleveland agreed to make available to Flux a line
of credit (“Cleveland LOC”) in a maximum principal
amount at any time outstanding of up to Two Million Dollars
($2,000,000) with a maturity date of December 31, 2018. The
Cleveland LOC has an origination fee in the amount of Twenty
Thousand Dollars ($20,000), which represents one percent (1%) of
the Cleveland LOC, and carries a simple interest of twelve percent
(12%) per annum. Interest is calculated on the basis of the actual
daily balances outstanding under the Cleveland LOC. The Cleveland
LOC was paid back December 27, 2018.
On
October 31, 2018, Flux entered into a credit facility agreement
with a shareholder, (“Investor”), pursuant to which
Investor agreed to make available to Flux a line of credit
(“Investor LOC”) in a maximum principal amount at any
time outstanding of up to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000)
with a maturity date of December 31, 2018. The Investor LOC has an
origination fee in the amount of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000),
which represents one percent (1%) of the Investor LOC, and carries
a simple interest of twelve percent (12%) per annum. Interest is
calculated on the basis of the actual daily balances outstanding
under the Investor LOC. The Investor LOC was paid back December 28,
2018.

Stock-based
compensation expense recognized in our condensed consolidated
statements of operations for the three and six months ended
December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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.
Our
average stock price during the six months ended December 31, 2018
was $2.05, and as a result the intrinsic value of the exercisable
options at December 31, 2018 was approximately
$2,410,000.

ITEM
2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This
information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes
thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the
audited 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 year ended June 30, 2018.
Overview
We
design, develop and sell rechargeable advanced lithium-ion
batteries for industrial uses, including our first-ever UL 2271
Listed lithium-ion “LiFT Pack” forklift batteries. We
have developed an innovative high-power battery cell management
system (“BMS”) and have structured our business around
this core technology. Our proprietary BMS provides three critical
functions to our battery systems:
■
Cell
Balancing: This is performed by
continuously adjusting the capacity of each cell in a storage
system according to temperature, voltage, and internal impedance
metrics. This management ensures longevity of the overall
system.
■
Monitoring: This is performed through temperature probes,
physical connection to individual cells for voltage and
calculations from basic metrics to determine remaining capacity and
internal impedance. This monitoring uses accurate measurements to
best manage the system and ensure longevity.
■
Error
reporting: This is performed by
analyzing data from individual cell and to determine whether the
system is operating within normal specifications. This error
reporting is crucial to system management as it ensures ancillary
devices are not damaging the battery; it will give the operator an
opportunity to take corrective action to maintain long overall
system life.
Using
our proprietary battery management technology, we offer completely
integrated energy storage solutions or custom modular standalone
systems to our customers. In addition, we have developed a suite of
complementary technologies and products that enhance the abilities
of our BMS to meet the needs of the growing advanced energy storage
market.
We
currently focus our business on lift equipment. Lift equipment
commonly called a forklift truck (also called a lift truck, a fork
truck, or a forklift) is a powered industrial truck used to lift
and transport materials. The modern forklift was developed in the
1960s by various companies including the transmission manufacturing
company Clark and the hoist company Yale & Towne Manufacturing.
The forklift has since become an indispensable piece of equipment
in manufacturing and warehousing operations. Lift equipment is
produced in a range of power capacities from smaller lift type
equipment such as a Walkie (ie., pallet jack) to a ride-on
forklift. A segment of forklifts, particularly larger forklifts,
use propane with an internal combustion engine for power. This
segment has been experiencing a secular decline, with a shift to
electric powered forklifts. The larger fleets of forklifts more
typically use battery powered forklifts. Lift equipment vehicles
are not new technology and don’t require new testing, which
can cause delays in product placement. The existing lift equipment
market primarily uses lead-acid batteries, which is a legacy
technology and can lead to customer dissatisfaction with life
cycles, performance, and additional maintenance costs. We believe
the replacement of lead-acid batteries with lithium cells
dramatically extends run time and the battery system life, lowering
the overall cost of ownership to a level which makes lithium very
competitive with lead-acid in numerous applications.
In
January 2016, we obtained certification from Underwriters
Laboratories (“UL”), a global safety science
organization, on our LiFT Packs for forklift use. This UL 2271
Listing demonstrates the quality, safety and reliability of our
LiFT Pack line for customers, distributors, dealers and OEM
partners. We believe we have emerged from this effort with a
product of substantially enhanced design, durability, performance
and value. Additionally, during September 2017, we completed our
initial ISO 9001 audit and have since been approved for
certification. We received our ISO 9001 certificate in November
2017. Obtaining the ISO 9001 certification further demonstrates our
strong customer focus, the motivation and involvement of top
management and our commitment to consistently providing high
quality products and services to our customers.
During
2018, we commercially developed, field tested, and sold packs for
use in Class 3 end riders, Class 2 forklifts, Class 1
counterbalance forklifts, and aviation ground support equipment
(“GSE”). We now have a complete line of packs to meet
the needs of the lift equipment industry and are positioned to
accelerate our sales significantly.
Segment
and Related Information
We
operate as a single reportable segment.

Revenues
Revenues for Q2
2019, increased by $1,510,000 or 126%, compared to Q2 2018. During
Q2 2019 we sold approximately 327 packs from all classes including
walkie, end rider, Class 2, Class 1, and GSE compared to
approximately 420 walkie LiFT packs in Q2 2018. The completion of a
full offering of batteries and the focus of the sales and
management team has driven the new orders. The battery packs
for the classes other than the walkie class range in price from
approximately $8,500 to $31,000 per pack and drive higher revenue
per pack.
Cost of Sales
Cost of
sales for Q2 2019, increased $867,000, or 55%, compared to Q2 2018.
The increase in cost of sales is directly related to our
substantial increase in pack sales as discussed above. The
Company’s development efforts and improvements to all of the
battery packs have resulted in reductions in inventory costs,
improved workforce efficiencies, and reduced warranty expense which
have all contributed to an improvement in the gross margin
percentage by 41% in Q2 2019 compared to Q2 2018. We expect
continued improvements to the gross margin percentage as the sales
volumes increase, assembly productivity improves, and cost
reductions are achieved.
Selling and Administrative
Expenses
Selling
and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and
personnel related expenses, stock-based compensation expense,
public company costs, consulting costs, professional fees and other
expenses. Such expense for Q2 2019 increased $797,000 or 99%,
compared to Q2 2018. The increase is primarily related to
additional staff needed to support the sales efforts and back
office operation as well as increased stock-based compensation and
additional professional fees.
Research and Development Expense
Research and
development expenses for Q2 2019 increased $403,000 or 84%,
compared to Q2 2018. Such expenses consist primarily of materials,
supplies, salaries and personnel related expenses, stock-based
compensation expense, consulting costs, and other expenses
associated with the continued development of our full product line
rollout. During Q2 2019, we continued our efforts in refining and
improving the battery packs for Class 1 forklifts, Class 2
forklifts, and Class 3 end riders. We have also begun the UL
listing process for our Class 3 end rider and Class 1 forklift
batteries. We anticipate research and development expenses
continuing to be a significant portion of our expenses as we
continue to develop new and improved products to our product
line.
Interest Expense
Interest expense
for Q2 2019 increased $527,000 or 317% compared to Q2 2018 and
consists of interest expense related to our outstanding lines of
credit and convertible promissory note. Also included in interest
expense during the three months ended December 31, 2018 is
additional interest expense of approximately $466,000 agreed to be
paid under the Esenjay Early Conversion Agreement as well as
origination fees of $25,000 for the shareholder lines of credit
(see Note 4).
Net Loss
Net
loss for Q2 2019 increased $1,084,000 or 59%, as compared to net
loss in Q2 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to
increased stock-based compensation costs of $90,000, our growing
sales department, the development of Class 1 and Class 2 forklift
battery packs and additional interest expense of $527,000. As we
continue to increase sales of our full line of packs, we anticipate
being able to take advantage of greater quantity discounts thus
improving our gross margin.
The
following table represents our unaudited condensed consolidated
statement of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2018
and December 31, 2017.

Revenues
Revenues for the
six months ended December 31, 2018, increased by $3,193,000 or
236%, compared to the six months ended December 31, 2017. This
substantial increase in revenue was directly attributable to the
increase in battery pack sales across the full line of batteries
during the six months ended December 31, 2018.
Cost of Sales
Cost of
sales during the six months ended December 31, 2018, increased
$2,377,000, or 125%, compared to the six months ended December 31,
2017. The increase in cost of sales is directly related to our
substantial increase in pack sales as discussed above offset by
decreased cost for inventory, lower direct labor touch time, and
lower warranty expense as a percentage of revenue resulting in a
gross margin percentage increase of 46% for the six months ended
December 31, 2018 compared to the six months ended December 31,
2017.
Selling and Administrative
Expenses
Selling
and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31,
2018 increased $1,614,000 or 109%, compared to the six months ended
December 31, 2017. As discussed above regarding Q2 2019, the
increase is primarily attributable to increases in staff, higher
stock-based compensation, and additional professional
fees.
Research and Development Expense
Research and
development expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2018
increased $576,000 or 60%, compared to the six months ended
December 31, 2017 due to our continued focus in developing
lithium-ion battery packs for Class 1 forklifts, Class 2 forklifts,
Class 3 end rider, and GSE.
Interest Expense
Interest expense
during the six months ended December 31, 2018 increased $665,000 or
220% compared to the six months ended December 31, 2017 and
consists primarily of interest expense related to our outstanding
line of credit and convertible promissory note. Also included in
interest expense during the six months ended December 31, 2018 is
additional interest expense of approximately $466,000 agreed to be
paid under the Esenjay Early Conversion Agreement as well as
origination fees of $25,000 for the shareholder lines of credit
(see Note 4).
Net Loss
Net
loss for the six months ended December 31, 2018 increased
$2,039,000 or 62%, as compared to net loss for the six months ended
December 31, 2017 for the reasons stated above.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Overview
As of
December 31, 2018, we had a cash balance of $1,044,000 and an
accumulated deficit of $31,987,000. We do not have sufficient
liquidity and capital resources to fund planned operations for
the twelve months following the filing date of this Quarterly
Report. The Company is exploring and working on securing additional
capital in the form of convertible debt and private or public
placements from both current sources and new sources. See
“Future Liquidity Needs” below.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Our
operating activities resulted in net cash used in operations of
$5,256,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2018, compared
to net cash used in operations of $3,262,000 during the six months
ended December 31, 2017. The primary reason for the increase in net
cash used in operations was a significant increase in net loss and
an increase in inventory on hand and accounts receivable at
December 31, 2018 offset by increases in accounts payable and
accrued expenses.
Investing
Activities
Net
cash used in investing activities during the six months ended
December 31, 2018 consists of the purchase of office equipment,
primarily computer related, for $101,000.
Net
cash used in investing activities during the six months ended
December 31, 2017 consists primarily of the purchase of office and
warehouse equipment and leasehold improvements, totaling
$43,000.
Financing Activities
Net
cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended
December 31, 2018 was $3,695,000 and consisted of proceeds from the
sale of common stock.
Net
cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended
December 31, 2017 was $3,215,000 and resulted from the borrowing
from our line of credit with Esenjay.
Future Liquidity Needs
In
December 2018, our Board of Directors approved the private
placement of up to 4,545,455 shares of our common stock to select
accredited investors for a total amount of $5,000,000, or $1.10 per
share of common stock with the right of the Board to increase the
offering amount to $7,000,000 (the “Offering”). We
completed the Offering in January 2019 and sold an aggregate of
3,992,564 shares of common stock for a total purchase price of
$4,391,820, or $1.10 per share in cash. A portion of the proceeds
from the Offering was used to repay in full approximately $2.6
million in borrowings and accrued interest under two short-term
credit facilities with two investors.
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 product development resources,
capital expenditures, and working capital requirements and have
determined that our existing cash resources are not sufficient to
meet our anticipated needs during the next twelve months, and that
additional financing is required to support current operations.
Based on our current and planned levels of expenditures, we
estimate that total financing proceeds of approximately $10,300,000
will be required to fund current and planned operations for the
twelve months following the filing date of this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q. In addition, we anticipate that further additional
financing may be required to fund our business plan subsequent to
that date, until such time as revenues and related cash flows
become sufficient to support our operating costs.
We
intend to continue to seek capital through the sale of equity
securities through private or public placements and debt
placements.
Although management
believes that the additional required funding will be obtained,
there is no guarantee we will be able to obtain the additional
required funds in the future or that funds will be available on
terms acceptable to us. If such funds are not available, management
will be required to curtail its investments in additional sales and
marketing and product development resources, and capital
expenditures, which will have a material adverse effect on our
future cash flows and results of operations, and our ability to
continue operating as a going concern.
To the
extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity or debt
securities, our shareholders may experience additional significant
dilution and such financing may involve restrictive covenants. To
the extent that we raise additional funds through collaboration and
licensing arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish some
rights to our technologies or our product candidates, or grant
licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. Such actions may
have a material adverse effect on our business.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
None.
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 year ended June 30, 2018.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
On June 20, 2018, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting
Standards Update (ASU) 2018-07, Compensation—Stock
Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based
Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 is
intended to reduce the cost and complexity and to improve financial
reporting for share-based payments to nonemployees for goods and
services. The amendments in ASU 2018-07 are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods
therein.
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.
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
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports
that we file with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to
our management, including our principal executive and financial
officers, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. As required by SEC Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) 15d-15(b), we carried out an evaluation as of the end of
the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2018, under the supervision
and with the participation of our management, including our
principal executive and principal financial officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) and concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure the
information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or
submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules
and forms.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over
financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal
quarter 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 be involved in routine legal proceedings, as
well as demands, claims and threatened litigation that arise in the
normal course of our business. The ultimate amount of liability, if
any, for any claims of any type (either alone or in the aggregate)
may materially and adversely affect our financial condition,
results of operations and liquidity. In addition, the ultimate
outcome of any litigation is uncertain. Any outcome, whether
favorable or unfavorable, may materially and adversely affect us
due to legal costs and expenses, diversion of management attention
and other factors. We expense legal costs in the period incurred.
We cannot assure you that contingencies of a legal nature or
contingencies having legal aspects will not be asserted against us
in the future, and these matters could relate to prior, current or
future transactions or events. As of December 31, 2018, we are not
a party to any legal proceedings that are expected, individually or
in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition or operating results.
Any
investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk.
Investors should carefully consider the risks described in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on September 26,
2018 and all of the information contained in our public filings
before deciding whether to purchase our common stock.
ITEM 2 - UNREGISTERED

Act.
On
March 14, 2018, we entered into a consulting agreement with
Shenzhen Reach Investment Development Co. (“SRID”) to
assist us with identifying strategic partners, suppliers and
manufacturers in China for a term of 12 months. Included with the
services is a two-week trip to China to meet with potential
manufacturers, which took place in April 2018. In consideration for
the services, we agreed to issue to SRID, up to 174,672 shares of
restricted common stock valued at approximately $80,000 over the
