NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2025 and JUNE 30, 2024
NOTE 1 –NATURE OF BUSINESS
Nature of Business
Flux Power Holdings, Inc. (“Flux”) was incorporated in 2009 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 other commercial and industrial applications. 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 energy storage solutions 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 energy storage solutions and more environmentally friendly energy storage solutions in the material handling sector should continue to drive our revenue growth.
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 and Financial Condition
The accompanying 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. However, substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern exists. Historically, 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 for additional funds. The Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $106.4 million through June 30, 2025, and for the year ended June 30, 2025, generated positive cash flows from operations of $0.6 million and incurred a net loss of $6.7 million. As of July 31, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $1.1 million and $6.7 million available funding under the Gibraltar Business Capital (“GBC”) Credit Facility. In addition, the Company’s operations have been impacted by delays in new orders of its energy storage solutions due to corresponding deferrals of new forklift purchases mainly caused by lower capital spending in the market sector that the Company serves and interest rate variability affecting selected large customer fleets which have impacted the Company’s ability to meet projected revenue targets and generate cash from operations.
Management has evaluated the Company’s expected cash requirements, including investments in additional sales and marketing and research and development, capital expenditures and working capital requirements, and believes the Company’s existing cash, funding available under the GBC Credit Facility, forecasted gross margins and $3.8 million of cash proceeds from the $5.0 million Private Placement, which closed on September 15, 2015, will not be sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated capital resources to fund planned operations for the next twelve months following the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Management is evaluating strategies to improve profitability of operations and to obtain additional funding. These steps include actual and planned price increases for our energy storage solutions, a number of cost saving initiatives including product cost efficiencies and planned operating cost savings. Based on the Company’s existing backlog and customer orders, management anticipates increased revenues, together with the improvements in gross margin, will move the Company closer to profitability. The planned gross margin improvement tasks include, but are not limited to, a plan to drive bill of material costs down while increasing price of the Company’s products for new orders. The Company also continues to execute cost reduction, sourcing and pricing recovery initiatives in efforts to increase gross margins and improve cash flow from operations. Unforeseen factors in the general economy beyond management’s control could potentially have negative impact on the planned gross margin improvement plan. Management is continuing to evaluate other sources of capital to fund the Company’s operations and growth. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to realize the plans for improved operations or access necessary additional financing when needed to provide sufficient liquidity to continue operations over the next twelve months. If such liquidity is not available when required, management will be required to curtail investments in new product development, which may have a material adverse effect on future cash flows and results of operations and the Company’s ability to continue operating as a going concern.
The accompanying consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.
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 are made in determining inventory obsolescence write-downs, warranty reserves and valuation allowances for credit losses 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, 2025 and 2024, cash was approximately $1.3 million and $0.6 million, 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 hadno cash equivalents at June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of our cash, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and accrued liabilities approximate 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 significant issues related to the collection of its accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company has an allowance for credit losses of $68,000 and $55,000, respectively.
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 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 an adjustment related to obsolete inventory in the amount of approximately $534,000 and $490,000 during the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Inventories at June 30, 2025 and 2024 are net of inventory obsolescence write-downs of $1,551,000 and $2,677,000, 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 tofive 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 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 represents the point in time that a customer receives delivery of our 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, 2025 and 2024, the Company carried warranty liability of approximately $3,377,000 and $3,018,000, 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 accordinglyno impairment losses were recognized during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Research and Development
The Company is actively engaged in new product development efforts. Research and development costs 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, 2025 and 2024, 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 fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 16,717,761 and 16,548,533, respectively. The Company incurred a net loss for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024; therefore, basic and diluted loss per share for each fiscal year was the same because potential common share equivalents would have been anti-dilutive. The potentially dilutive common shares outstanding at June 30, 2025 and 2024 that were excluded from diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding represent shares underlying outstanding stock options, RSUs and warrants, as follows:
| June 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Stock options | 796,660 | 1,605,060 |
| RSUs | 200,000 | 114,666 |
| Warrants | 1,413,110 | 1,413,110 |
| Antidilutive securities | 2,409,770 | 3,132,836 |
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07,Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires retrospective disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis. Additionally, it requires disclosure of the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). This ASU is effective annually for the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 and for interim periods thereafter. The Company adopted this standard for the year ended June 30, 2025 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 13 – Segment Information for further information.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03,Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional disclosure of certain amounts included in the expense captions presented on the statement of operations, as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2028 and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is evaluating the disclosure requirements related to the new standard.
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires more detailed income tax disclosures. The guidance requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The disclosure requirements will be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply them retrospectively. The standard is effective for the Company’ fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the disclosure requirements related to the new standard.

**NOTE 7 –NOTES PAYABLE **
Revolving Line of Credit
Gibraltar Business Capital (“GBC”) Credit Facility
On July 28, 2023, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) with GBC. The Agreement provides the Company with a senior secured revolving loan facility for up to $15.0 million (the “Revolving Loan Commitment”). The revolving amount available under the GBC Credit Facility is equal to the lesser of the Revolving Loan Commitment and the borrowing base amount (as defined in the Agreement). The GBC Credit Facility is evidenced by a revolving note, which, as amended, matures on July 31, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”), unless extended, modified or renewed (the “Revolving Note”). Provided that there is no event of default, the Maturity Date can automatically be extended for a one-year period upon payment of a renewal fee for each such extension in the amount of three-quarters of one percent (0.75%) of the Revolving Loan Commitment, which fee will be due and payable on or before the applicable Maturity Date.
In addition, subject to conditions and terms set forth in the Agreement, the Company may request an increase in the Revolving Loan Commitment from time to time upon not less than 30 days’ notice to GBC which increase may be made at the sole discretion of GBC, as long as: (a) the requested increase is in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, and (b) the total increases do not exceed $5,000,000 and no more than five (5) increases are made. Outstanding principal under the GBC Credit Facility accrues interest at Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”, as defined in the Agreement) plus five and one half of one percent (5.50%) per annum with such interest payment due monthly on the last day of the month. In the event of default, the amounts due under the Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to three percent (3.0%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable to such amounts. The Company paid GBC a non-refundable closing fee for the GBC Credit Facility of $112,500 upon the execution of the Agreement. In addition, the Company is required to pay a monthly unused line fee equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum on the difference between the Revolving Loan Commitment and the average outstanding principal balance of the revolving loan(s) for such month. The obligations under the GBC Credit Facility may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time upon an exit fee of (a) two percent (2.00%) of the Revolving Loan Commitment if the obligations are paid in full during the first year after the closing date, or (b) one percent (1.00%) of the Revolving Loan Commitment if the obligations are paid in full one year after the closing date, provided, that, the exit fee will be waived if such prepayment occurs in connection with the refinancing of the obligations with Bank of America, N.A., as lender.
On November 2, 2023, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with GBC, which amended certain definition of the Subordinated Debt referenced in the Loan and Security Agreement dated July 28, 2023 as Subordinated Debt owed by the Company to Cleveland Capital L.P. (“Cleveland”) pursuant to that certain Subordinated Unsecured Promissory Note, dated as of November 1, 2023, in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000.
On January 30, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with GBC, which amended certain terms of the Loan and Security Agreement dated July 28, 2023, including but not limited to, (i) increasing the commitment amount from $15.0 million to $16.0 million, (ii) adding an additional non-refundable closing fee in the amount of $7,500 in cash for the increase in the commitment amount to $16 million, (iii) amending the definition of “Eligible Accounts;” and (iv) amending the EBITDA Minimum financial covenant of the Company. In consideration for the Second Amendment, the Company agreed to pay GBC a non-refundable amendment fee of $10,000 in cash, in addition to the $7,500 non-refundable closing fee paid.
The loans and other obligations of the Company under the GBC Credit Facility 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 Agreement and the Intellectual Property Security Agreement entered into by and among the Company and GBC on July 28, 2023. During the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had multiple drawdowns under the GBC Credit Facility totaling $64.5 million and $65.8 million, respectively, inclusive of the full repayment of the SVB Credit Facility, and made multiple repayments totaling $64.7 million and $52.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding balance under the GBC Credit Facility was approximately $13.6 million, with up to $2.4 million available for future borrowings, subject to borrowing base limitations.
In April 2024, the Company notified GBC of a certain event of default with respect to the Company’s anticipated failure to maintain the EBITDA covenant for the trailing three (3) month period ended April 30, 2024 (the “Default”). On May 8, 2024, the Company received a Waiver, which waived the Default, subject to satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) receipt of a counterpart of the Waiver duly executed by the Company; (ii) receipt of the waiver fee of $20,000; (iii) receipt of the representations and warranties from the Company that after giving effect to the Waiver, the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement, the Waiver and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct; and (iv) after giving effect to the Waiver, no additional event of default shall have occurred and be continuing on and as of the effective date of the Waiver.
On May 31, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with GBC which amended certain terms of the Loan and Security Agreement dated July 28, 2023, including but not limited to amending the EBITDA Minimum financial covenant of the Company. In consideration for the Third Amendment, the Company agreed to pay GBC a non-refundable amendment fee of $50,000 in cash.
On August 30, 2024, GBC agreed to waive the Company’s non-compliance with, and the effects of its non-compliance under, various representations, financial covenants and non-financial covenants relating to our financial restatements (the “August Waiver”).
The filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 with the SEC was due on September 30, 2024 but was not filed until January 29, 2025. The Company’s failure to file its Annual Report in a timely manner resulted in an event of default with respect to a covenant under the Loan and Security Agreement with GBC to timely deliver a copy of the Company’s annual audited financial statements. Additionally, the Company notified GBC that it appeared likely that as a result of the restatement it would fail to maintain the EBITDA covenant for the trailing three (3) month periods ended May 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, or Default. On January 17, 2025, the Company received a Waiver (the “January Waiver”), which waived the Defaults, subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, which have been met: (i) receipt of a counterpart of the January Waiver duly executed by the Company; and (ii) receipt of a waiver fee of $25,000; and (iii) receipt of the representations and warranties from the Company that after giving effect to the Waiver, the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement, the Waiver and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct; and (iv) after giving effect to the January Waiver, no additional event of default shall have occurred and be continuing on and as of the effective date of the January Waiver.
On January 22, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) with GBC which amended certain terms of the Loan and Security Agreement dated July 28, 2023, as amended, relating to the EBITDA Minimum financial covenant of the Company. In consideration for the Fourth Amendment, the Company agreed to pay GBC a non-refundable amendment fee of $50,000 in cash, as follows: (i) $25,000 paid on March 1, 2025, and (ii) $25,000 paid on April 1, 2025.
On July 16, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 5 to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”) with GBC which amended certain terms relating to the maturity date set forth under the Loan and Security Agreement dated July 28, 2023, as amended. Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, GBC and the Company agreed to amend the definition of the maturity date to August 31, 2025, unless otherwise extended pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, provided however, upon the occurrence of either (i) an extension of the due date of the Company’s Subordinated Unsecured Promissory Note, as amended, with Cleveland Capital, L.P. (“the Cleveland Note”) to a date no earlier than September 29, 2027, or (ii) the conversion of all of the outstanding obligations under the Cleveland Note into equity of the Registrant, the maturity date will automatically extend to July 31, 2027. See Note 8**–**Related Party Debt Agreements for additional information pertaining to the Cleveland Note. In consideration for the Fifth Amendment, we agreed to pay GBC a non-refundable amendment fee of $112,500.
On September 4, 2025, we entered into Amendment No. 6 to Loan Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”), with the effective date of August 31, 2025, which amended certain terms of the Loan Agreement, including (i) modifications to the EBITDA minimum financial covenant of the Company, and (ii) an extension of the maturity date from August 31, 2025 to September 15, 2025, subject to acceleration or further extension pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement. Upon the closing of the Private Placement on September 15, 2025, all the outstanding obligations under the Cleveland Note were applied in full towards satisfaction of the subscription by Cleveland in the Private Placement. Upon the conversion of all of the outstanding obligations under the Cleveland Note into equity of the Company, the Maturity Date of the Revolving Note was automatically extended to July 31, 2027.
As a result of the aforementioned waivers and amendments, and extension of the Maturity Date to July 31, 2027, we expect that the revolving credit facility will remain available subject to meeting certain lending criteria under the Loan Agreement.
Silicon Valley Bank Credit Facility
On November 9, 2020, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan and Security Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”).
On October 29, 2021, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (“First Amendment” and together with the Agreement, the “Loan Agreement”) with SVB which amended certain terms of the 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 First Amendment provided 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 accrued 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%). The Company paid a non-refundable commitment fee of $15,000 upon execution of the Agreement and an additional non-refundable commitment fee of $22,500 in connection with the First Amendment.
On June 23, 2022, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (“Second Amendment” and together with the Loan Agreement, the “Second Amended Loan Agreement”) with SVB, which amended certain terms of the Loan Agreement, including but not limited to, (i) increasing the amount of the revolving line of credit to $8.0 million, (ii) changing the financial covenants of the Company from one based on tangible net worth to another based on adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Second Amendment) on a trailing six (6) month basis and liquidity ratio certified as of the end of each month pursuant to the calculations set forth therein, and (iii) allowing for the assignment and transfer by SVB of all of its obligations, rights and benefits under the Agreement and Loan Documents (as defined in the Agreement and except for the Warrants).
In addition, under the Second Amendment, the interest rate terms for the outstanding principal under the Revolving LOC were amended to accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of either(A) Prime Rate plus three and one-half of one percent (3.50%) or (B) seven and one-half of one percent (7.50%). Interest payments are due monthly on the last day of the month.

The Credit Facility provides the Company with a line of credit of up to $2,000,000 for working capital purposes (“2023 Subordinated LOC”). In connection with the LOC, the Company issued a subordinated unsecured promissory note for $2,000,000 (the “Commitment Amount”) in favor of Cleveland (the “Note”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility, Cleveland agreed to make loans (each such loan, an “Advance”) up to such Lender’s Commitment Amount to the Company from time to time, until July 31, 2027 (the “Due Date”). The Note accrues interest at Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus nine percent (9%) per annum on each Advance from and after the date of disbursement of such Advance. All indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Company to Cleveland are subject to the rights of Gibraltar Business Capital, LLC (together with its successors and assigns, “GBC”), pursuant to a Subordination Agreement dated on or about November 2, 2023, by and between Cleveland and GBC (the “Subordination Agreement”). Subject to the Subordination Agreement, the Company may, from time to time, prior to the Due Date, draw down, repay, and re-borrow on the Note, by giving notice to Cleveland of the amount to be requested to be drawn down. Subject to the Subordination Agreement, the Note is payable upon the earlier of (i) the Due Date or (ii) on occurrence of an event of Default (as defined in the Note).
As consideration of Cleveland’s commitment to provide the Advances to the Company, the Company issued Cleveland warrants to purchase 41,196 shares of common stock (the “Warrants”) which rights are represented by a warrant certificate (“Warrant Certificate”). Subject to certain ownership limitations, the Warrants are exercisable immediately from the date of issuance, expire on the five (5) year anniversary of the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $3.24 per share. The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to certain adjustments, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations and reclassifications of the common stock.

Additionally, upon the holder’s request, the continuing or surviving corporation as a result of such Triggering Event will issue to such holder a new warrant of like tenor evidencing the right to purchase the adjusted amount of securities, cash or property and the adjusted warrant price. See Note 9 – Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit).

The Subordinated LOC provides the Company with a short-term line of credit not less than $3,000,000 and not more than $5,000,000, the proceeds of which shall be used by the Company for working capital purposes. In connection with the Subordinated LOC, the Company issued a separate subordinated unsecured promissory note in favor of each respective Lender (each promissory note, a “Note”) for each Lender’s commitment amount (each such commitment amount, a “Commitment Amount”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Subordinated LOC, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, an “Advance”) up to such Lender’s Commitment Amount to the Company from time to time, until December 31, 2022 (the “Due Date”). On December 15, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company elected to extend the Due Date to December 31, 2023. The Company may, from time to time, prior to the Due Date, draw down, repay, and re-borrow on the Note, by giving notice to the Lenders of the amount to be requested to be drawn down.
Each Note bears an interest rate of 15.0% per annum on each Advance from and after the date of disbursement of such Advance and is payable on (i) the Due Date in cash or shares of common stock of the Company at the sole election of the Company, unless such Due Date is extended pursuant to the Note, or (ii) on occurrence of an event of Default (as defined in the Note). The Due Date may be extended (i) at the sole election of the Company for one (1) additional year period from the Due Date upon the payment of a commitment fee equal to two percent (2%) of the Commitment Amount to the Lender within thirty (30) days prior to the original Due Date, or (ii) by the Lenders in writing. In addition, each Lender signed a Subordination Agreement by and between the Lenders and SVB dated as of May 11, 2022 (the “Subordination Agreement”) for the purposes of subordinating the right to payment under the Note to SVB’s indebtedness by the Company now outstanding or hereinafter incurred.

On July 28, 2023, in conjunction with the concurrent termination of the SVB Revolving LOC and the entry into a new credit facility with Gibraltar Business Capital (“GBC”), each Lender signed a Subordination Agreement by and between the Lenders and GBC dated as of July 28, 2023 (the “GBC Subordination Agreement”) for the purposes of subordinating the right to payment under the Note to GBC’s indebtedness by the Company then incurred and outstanding or thereinafter incurred.
The Subordinated LOC includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and the Lenders. The Company has also agreed to pay the legal fees of Cleveland’s counsel in an amount up to $10,000. In addition, each Note also provides that, upon the occurrence of a Default, at the option of the Lenders, the entire outstanding principal balance, all accrued but unpaid interest and/or Late Charges (as defined in the Note) at once will become due and payable upon written notice to the Company by the Lenders.
In connection with entry into the Subordinated LOC, the Company paid to each Lender a one-time commitment fee in cash equal to 3.5% of such Lender’s Commitment Amount. In addition, in consideration of the Lenders’ commitment to provide the Advances to the Company, the Company issued the Lenders five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 128,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.53 per share that are, subject to certain ownership limitations, exercisable immediately (the “Warrants”)(the number of warrants issued to each Lender is equal to the product of (i) 160,000 shares of common stock multiplied by (ii) the ratio represented by each Lender’s Commitment Amount divided by the $5,000,000).
Pursuant to a selling agreement, dated as of May 11, 2022, the Company retained HPO as its placement agent in connection with the Subordinated LOC. As compensation for services rendered in conjunction with the Subordinated LOC, the Company paid HPO a finder fee equal to 3% of the Commitment Amount from each such Lender placed by HPO in cash.

The maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that have been reserved as authorized for the grant of options under the 2023 ESPP is 350,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided for in the 2023 ESPP. Participation in the 2023 ESPP is voluntary and is limited to eligible employees (as such term is defined in the 2023 ESPP) of the Company or a Participating Subsidiary who(i) has been employed by the Company or a Participating Subsidiary for at least 90 days and (ii) is customarily employed for at least twenty (20) hours per week and more than five (5) months in any calendar year. Each eligible employee may authorize payroll deductions of one to 15% of the eligible employee’s compensation on each pay day to be used to purchase up to 1,500 shares of common stock for the employee’s account occurring during an offering period. The 2023 ESPP has a term of ten (10) years commencing on April 20, 2023, the date of approval by the Company’s stockholders, unless otherwise earlier terminated.
Under the provisions of the 2023 ESPP, participants purchase common stock at 85% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock at the start or end of each six-month offering period, whichever is lower. On March 31, 2025, participants in the offering period ending March 31, 2025 purchased 29,350 shares of common stock at $1.46 per share. On March 28, 2025, participants in the offering period ending September 30, 2024 purchased 20,987 shares of common stock at $2.58 per share.

Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 represents the estimated fair value of stock options and RSUs at the time of grant, and ESPP shares at the beginning of each offering period, amortized under the straight-line method over the expected vesting period and reduced for estimated forfeitures of options and RSUs. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from original estimates. At June 30, 2025, the aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable stock options waszero.
The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense for employee and non-employee stock option and RSU grants and ESPP participation:

| Selling and administrative | 852,000 | 1,335,000 |
| Total stock-based compensation expense | $979,000 | $1,571,000 |
At June 30, 2025, the unamortized stock-based compensation expense relating to outstanding stock options and RSUs was approximately $729,000 and $312,000, respectively, and these amounts are expected to be expensed over the weighted-average remaining recognition period of 1.1 years and 0.9 years, respectively.
NOTE 10 –INCOME TAXES
Pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 740Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), deferred income taxes reflect the net effect of (a) temporary difference between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes, and (b) net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance of approximately $27,508,000 and $26,483,000 has been established to offset the net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, due to uncertainties surrounding the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income to realize these assets.
The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, California and Georgia. The Company’s tax years from 2010 and forward are subject to examination by the federal and state taxing authorities due to the carry forward of unutilized net operating losses and research and development credits, as applicable.
The Company has primarily incurred losses since inception. A current state income tax provision of $4,000 has been recorded for state minimum and net worth taxes. Significant components of the Company’s net deferred tax assets and liabilities are shown in the table below.

At June 30, 2025, the Company had unused net operating loss (“NOL”) carryovers of approximately $77,171,000 and $87,399,000 that are available to offset future federal and state taxable income, respectively. Federal NOL carryforwards arising after 2017 of approximately $54,763,000 do not expire. Federal NOL carryforwards arising before 2018 of approximately $22,408,000 and all of the state NOL carryforwards begin to expire in 2030.
The provision for income taxes on earnings subject to income taxes differs from the statutory federal rate at June 30, 2025 and 2024, due to the following:
| Year ended June 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Federal income taxes at 21% | $(1,401,000) | $(1,749,000) |

| Permanent differences and other | 178,000 | 241,000 |
| Other true ups | 425,000 | 270,000 |
| Change in valuation allowance | 1,025,000 | 1,787,000 |

Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limits the use of our net operating loss carryforwards if there has been a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% within a three-year period. The Company has not yet completed a Section 382 study. If such analysis determines there is a limitation on the use of net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income, the recorded deferred tax asset relating to such net operating loss carryforwards will be reduced. However, as the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets, there would be no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Under ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, ASC 740 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. In accordance with ASC 740, there are no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2025 and 2024.
NOTE 11 –CONCENTRATIONS
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and unsecured trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash balances in non-interest-bearing bank deposit accounts at a California commercial bank. The Company’s cash balance at this institution is secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, cash was approximately $1,334,000 and $643,000, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash.
Customer Concentrations
During the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company had three major customers that each represented more than 10% of its revenues on an individual basis, and together represented approximately $48,288,000 or 73% of its total revenues.
During the year ended June 30, 2024, the Company had three (3) major customers that each represented more than 10% of its revenues on an individual basis, and together represented approximately $47,178,000 or 78% of its total revenues.
Suppliers/Vendor Concentrations
The Company obtains components and supplies included in its products from a group of suppliers. The Company does not manufacture the battery cells used in energy storage solutions. Battery cells, which are an integral part of energy storage solutions, are sourced from a single manufacturer located in China. In response to business uncertainties resulting from tariffs and increased tariff levels imposed by the U.S. government on goods imported into the U.S., imports from the battery cell supplier in China were temporarily paused. The pause was short-lived as both parties quickly agreed to modified terms. At this time, neither the pause in shipments nor the modified terms have materially affected the Company’s operations. However, further escalation of tariffs between the U.S. and China could have a material effect on the Company’s ability to cost-effectively source from the supplier in China.
During the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company had one supplier who accounted for more than 10% of its total purchases which represented approximately $15,901,000 or 28% of its total purchases.
During the year ended June 30, 2024 the Company had one supplier who accounted for more than 10% of its total purchases which represented approximately $12,437,000 or 27% of its total purchases.
NOTE 12 –COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, the Company 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 any legal proceedings that may arise from time to time may harm the Company’s business. To the best of its knowledge, except for the legal proceedings disclosed below, there are no other material legal proceedings pending against the Company.
Securities Class Action
On November 1, 2024, plaintiff Asfa Kassam filed a purported federal securities class action complaint in the United States District Court, District of Nevada, captionedKassam v. Flux Power Holdings, Inc. et al. (No. 2:24-cv-02051), against the Company, our Chief Executive Officer, Ronald F. Dutt, and our former Chief Financial Officer, Charles A. Scheiwe. The complaint generally alleges that the defendants made false and misleading statements in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The action purports to be brought on behalf of those who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s publicly traded securities between November 11, 2022 and September 30, 2024, and seeks unspecified damages and other relief. On January 14, 2025, the court granted an unopposed motion to transfer the case to the Southern District of California for all further proceedings. On February 20, 2025, the court appointed Brandon Paulson to act as lead plaintiff for the putative class. On April 21, 2025, lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint. On May 12, 2025, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the amended complaint.
Following a mediation, on July 11, 2025, the parties entered into a settlement term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) to fully resolve the class action litigation. The settlement was subsequently memorialized in a definitive settlement agreement, executed on August 27, 2025, which was filed with the Court on August 28, 2025 in connection with an unopposed motion for preliminary approval of the settlement, which motion will be heard by the Court on October 23, 2025. In settling the class action, the Company is not admitting any liability and neither the Term Sheet nor the definitive settlement agreement constitutes an admission of liability or an admission regarding the accuracy of any allegation made by the plaintiffs. The settlement provides for, among other things, the final dismissal of the litigation and a release of claims against the Defendants in exchange for the Company establishing a $1.75 million escrowed settlement fund to cover payments to the settlement class, attorneys’ fees and settlement administration expenses
The settlement class will consist of all persons or entities who purchased publicly traded common stock of the Company between November 15, 2021 and February 14, 2025, but will exclude (i) persons who suffered no compensable losses; and (ii) the Defendants; present and former officers, directors, or control persons of the Company at all relevant times; members of their immediate families and their legal representatives, heirs, successors, predecessors, or assigns; present and former parents, subsidiaries, assigns, successors, and predecessors of the Company; and any entity in which any of the persons excluded hereunder has or had a controlling or majority ownership interest in the Company at any time. The plaintiff’s motion seeks certification of the settlement class, and, for settlement purposes only, Defendants will not object to certification of the action as a class action.
Final settlement is subject to, among other things, court approval of such agreement. If the settlement does not obtain approval, the parties agree that the settlement class will be decertified without prejudice, and that all the parties will revert to their pre-settlement positions.
We expect the Company’s liability insurers to directly fund approximately $1.15 million of the settlement fund. The Company estimates that it will contribute approximately $600,000 to the settlement fund as its remaining retention/deductible related to its insurance policy.
Stockholder Derivative Action
On January 7, 2025, plaintiff Ronald Pearl filed a purported stock holder derivative complaint in the United States District Court, District of Nevada, captionedPearl v. Dutt, et al. (Case No. 2:25-cv-00042), against current and former officers and directors of the Company, naming the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint generally arises out of the same allegations contained in theKassam securities class action and alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duties and related claims. The action purports to be brought derivatively on behalf of the Company and seeks damages and other various relief. On February 19, 2025, the court granted an unopposed motion to transfer the case to the Southern District of California for all further proceedings (Case No. 3:25-cv-00373-W-JLB). On March 27, 2025, the parties filed a joint motion to stay the derivative action pending the underlying class action, which motion was granted on May 1, 2025. On April 1, 2025, the Court transferred the matter to Judge Ohta, as related to theKassam securities class action (now captioned Case No. 3:25-cv-00373-JO-DDL).
Following a mediation, on July 11, 2025, the parties reached an agreement to resolve the derivative complaint in exchange for the Company implementing and maintaining certain corporate governance reforms and enhancements. In connection with the settlement, defendants agreed not to oppose a payment of attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of expenses for plaintiff’s counsel, and a service award for plaintiff, in the total amount of $425,000, subject to Court approval. On August 13, 2025, plaintiff filed an unopposed motion for preliminary approval of the settlement, which will be heard by the Court on October 16, 2025. In settling the derivative complaint, the defendants are not admitting any liability, and the settlement does not constitute an admission regarding the accuracy of any allegation made by the plaintiffs. Final settlement remains subject to, among other things, court approval. We expect the Company’s liability insurers to directly fund approximately $350,000 of the agreed upon attorney’s fees.
Employment Related Actions
On April 30, 2024, a former employee (the “Employee”) filed a class action complaint against the Company and Insperity, our third-party payroll service provider, in San Diego County Superior Court for claims including failure to pay minimum wage, failure to pay overtime, failure to provide meal periods, failure to provide rest breaks, failure to pay wages at separation, failure to provide accurate wage statements, failure to reimburse business expenses, failure to produce employment records and unfair competition, which he has purported to assert on behalf of himself and all other individuals who worked for the Company or Insperity, as non-exempt employees in California between April 30, 2020 and the present (the “Employment Proceeding”). On July 1, 2024, the Company filed an answer to the complaint that none of the asserted claims possessed any merit, contended that many of the asserted claims were subject to immediate dismissal, and contended that certain of the asserted claims were subject to binding arbitration. On October 14, 2024, the Employee elected to dismiss Insperity from the action without prejudice.
On July 5, 2024, the Employee filed a representative action complaint against the Company and Insperity in San Diego County Superior Court for Violation of Private Attorneys’ General Act (“PAGA”), seeking an unspecified amount of penalties and attorneys’ fees based on allegations that the Company violated certain California employment laws (the “PAGA Proceeding”). On August 8, 2024, the Company filed an answer to the complaint in which the Company denied that any of the asserted claims possessed any merit and contended that certain of the asserted claims were subject to binding arbitration.
On December 10, 2024, the Company and the Employee stipulated to the consolidation of Employment Lawsuit and the PAGA Action. As of the date hereof, both proceedings are currently pending consolidation by the court. Upon consolidation, the Company intends to move to have the Employee’s action claims dismissed, the Employee’s individual claims compelled to binding arbitration and the Employee’s representative PAGA claims stayed pending the arbitration of his individual claims. On October 22, 2024, the Employee elected to dismiss Insperity from the action without
On January 25, 2024, in a separate action, a former CPM, LTD Inc. (“CPM”) employee filed a complaint against CPM, a third-party staffing service provider, Flux Power, Inc., and Flux Power Holdings, Inc. (collectively, the “Defendants”) in San Diego County Superior Court for claims including harassment, failure to prevent harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, failure to provide meal periods and rest breaks, failure to provide accurate wage statements, and failure to pay wages at separation. CPM is a San Diego based staffing company that provided employees (including the plaintiff) to us. The plaintiff has alleged that we and CPM were “joint employers” to the plaintiff under California law and are jointly liable for the plaintiff’s claims. The plaintiff sought an unspecified amount of unpaid wages, statutory penalties, emotional distress damages, punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees from Defendants. On June 21, 2024, the Company filed an answer to the complaint in which the Company denied that any of the asserted claims possessed any merit and contended that certain of the asserted claims were subject to binding arbitration. Following discussions, on April 28, 2025, the parties entered into a written settlement agreement that resolved all of the asserted claims. Pursuant to that settlement, Defendants received a general release from the plaintiff, while expressly denying any wrongdoing whatsoever. Thereafter, on May 6, 2025, the plaintiff dismissed the action with prejudice.** **

NOTE 14 –SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management evaluated events subsequent to June 30, 2025 through the filing date of these consolidated financial statements and concluded there are no material subsequent events to disclose other than those presented as follows.
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On January 31, 2025, the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notified the Company that the Company did not comply with the minimum $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). On March 17, 2025, the Company filed its plan with Nasdaq to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, which included requesting an extension through July 30, 2025.
On July 31, 2025, the Company received a determination letter from the Staff notifying the Company that based on the Company’s most recent disclosure, the Company’s stockholders’ equity was a deficit of $4,372,000 as of March 31, 2025 and that the Staff had determined that the Company had not regained compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. The Staff has informed the company that trading of the Company’s common stock would be suspended at the opening of business on August 11, 2025, unless the Company requested an appeal of the Staff’s determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”).
On August 7, 2025, the Company submitted such hearing request to the Panel, which request will stay suspension of the Company’s securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision. On September 4, 2025, the Company made its presentation to the Panel. On September 15, 2025, the Company raised $5.0 million through a private placement of its securities. On September 16, 2025, the Panel determined to grant the Company an exception to demonstrate compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement and granted the Company’s request for continued listing, subject to the following: (1) the Company shall file a Form 10-K for the period ending June 30, 2025 on or before September 30, 2025, and (2), the Company shall demonstrate compliance with the Stockholder’s Equity Requirement on or before October 31, 2025 through public disclosures describing the transactions undertaken by the Company to achieve compliance and demonstrate long-term compliance. In addition, the Company has taken steps to reduce its cash burn rate through a reduction in force of approximately 15% of its work force. The Company is also exploring additional avenues to raise equity capital in order to be in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing, or stay the suspension of the Company’s securities.

Private Placement
On July 18, 2025, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Initial Purchaser(s)”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell an initial aggregate amount of approximately $2.9 million in Prefunded Warrants (the “Prefunded Warrants”) at a purchase price equal to $19.369 per warrant (the “Purchase Price”). Each Prefunded Warrant entitles the holder to purchase shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) for $0.001 per share. Purchasers of Prefunded Warrants will also be issued an additional five (5) year warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share equal to fifty percent (50%) of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Common Warrants,” and together with the Prefunded Warrants, the “Warrants”). The Warrants, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Prefunded Warrants, and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants are referred herein as the “Securities”. The Securities were offered to a small select group of accredited investors, as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, all of whom have a substantial pre-existing relationship with the Company.
On September 15, 2025, the Company entered into an amended and restated securities purchase agreement (the “Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement”) with certain of the Initial Purchasers and certain additional investors (collectively, the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which, among other things, confirmed the filing of the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company upon receipt of the requisite stockholder approval, and the Purchasers agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchasers, an aggregate of 258,144 Prefunded Warrants and 1,214,769 Common Warrants for approximately $5.0 million (the “Private Placement”). The Purchase Price was paid in cash or, in lieu of cash, cancellation of certain existing debt of the Company.
The closing of the Private Placement contemplated by the Purchase Agreement occurred simultaneously on September 15, 2025 upon the satisfaction of certain customary conditions (the “Closing”). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for general corporate purposes and growth capital.
Prefunded Warrant and Common Warrant
Each Prefunded Warrant will have an exercise price per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to $0.001 per share. The Prefunded Warrants are immediately exercisable upon the Closing of the Private Placement and expire when exercised in full. The exercise price and the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of each Prefunded Warrant is subject to appropriate adjustments in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Series A Preferred Stock.
Each Common Warrant will have an initial exercise price of $1.715, which is equal to the 20-day VWAP per share of common stock immediately preceding the Closing of the Private Placement (subject to adjustment therein), are exercisable immediately following issuance and have a term of five (5) years from the initial issuance date. The Common Warrant will have a “cashless exercise” provision which provides that the Common Warrant can be exercised without further payment to the Company. The exercise price and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of each Common Warrant is subject to appropriate adjustments in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the common stock.
In addition, the Warrants may not be exercised in full and may not be exercised to the extent that immediately following such exercise, the holder would beneficially own greater than 4.99% or, at the election of the holder, greater than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to enter into a registration rights agreement with the Purchasers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will prepare and file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of a number of shares of common stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock and the Common Warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 75 days following the date of the registration statement.
Escrow Agreement
In connection with the Closing, the Company entered into an Escrow Agreement, with David L. Hill, II on behalf of Hill Innovative Law, LLC, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to which the Escrow Agent will disburse the total aggregate purchase price pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
