NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2025
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, which require the Company 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. Management has considered the implications of ongoing global events and related economic impacts to the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. There is heightened volatility and uncertainty around tariff actions, supply chain performance and customer demand. However, the magnitude of such impact on the Company’s business and its duration is uncertain. The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or adjustments to the carrying value of its assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2025 through the filing date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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, 2024, filed with the SEC on January 29, 2025. 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 consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2024 has been derived from the audited balance sheet at June 30, 2024 contained in such Form 10-K.
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
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. There have been no material changes in these policies or their application.
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
The Company did not adopt any new accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended March 31, 2025.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
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 our 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 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’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the disclosure requirements related to the new standard.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The standard is effective annually for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2025 and interim periods thereafter. While early adoption is permitted, the Company has decided not to adopt during the interim period reflected in this quarterly report. The Company is evaluating the disclosure requirements related to the new standard.
Business Trends and Uncertainties
During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the U.S. government increased certain existing tariffs and implemented new tariffs on imported products. In April 2025, the U.S. government increased import tariffs across a wide range of countries at various rates, including on product imports from almost all countries, and individualized higher tariffs on certain countries, notably China. Some of these tariff announcements have since been followed by announcements of limited exemptions and temporary pauses. Due to the uncertainties pertaining to tariffs and tariff levels, it is difficult for the Company to reliably forecast the short-term or ongoing impact to its business or that of its customers, but is expected that tariffs would negatively impact the Company’s revenues, profitability and cash flows. Management is actively evaluating ways to mitigate potential impacts of tariffs.
Page 9
The Company imports a portion of raw materials and components from countries that are subject to import tariffs imposed by the U.S. government, in particular materials and components that are from China. The Company expects to be able to offset some of the impact of the enacted tariffs with supply chain adjustments, alternative manufacturing locations and cost reduction actions. However, at current and anticipated tariff levels, the Company will also need to increase the selling prices of its products in order to achieve an acceptable profit margin. The Company is actively pursuing alternative sourcing strategies.
Trade-related disruptions can create further uncertainty and supply chain interruptions, which may result in last-minute procurement efforts at elevated cost. The Company is closely monitoring the fluid nature of proposed tariffs and any impact they may have on its operations and will continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions and evaluate the financial and operational impact of ongoing trade policy shifts. These risks could intensify depending on future developments and management is actively incorporating these considerations into future operation planning, including assessing pricing actions, cost-control measures and long-term sourcing strategies.
If tariffs escalate or global inflationary trends persist, customers may face greater economic strain, which could in turn affect demand for the Company’s products. Management remains focused on maintaining operational flexibility and adapting the Company’s supply chain to navigate these uncertainties and support long-term business performance.
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 March 31, 2025 and 2024, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 16,684,320 and 16,538,998, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 16,683,074 and 16,510,046, respectively. The Company incurred a net loss for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and, therefore, basic and diluted loss per share for the periods were the same because all potentially dilutive common share equivalents would have been anti-dilutive. At March 31, 2025 and 2024, potentially dilutive common shares excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were as follows:
| March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Stock options | 1,217,525 | 1,738,035 |
| RSUs | 68,228 | 121,772 |
| Warrants | 1,413,110 | 1,413,110 |
| Antidilutive securities | 2,698,863 | 3,272,917 |
Liquidity and Financial Condition
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. 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 $105.2 million through March 31, 2025, and, for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 generated cash flows from operations of $2.2 million and incurred a net loss of $5.5 million. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $0.5 million, $5.0 million of available funding under the Gibraltar Business Capital (“GBC”) Credit Facility and $1.0 million available for future draws under the November 2, 2023 subordinated line of credit with Cleveland Capital, L.P. (“Cleveland”).
In addition, the Company’s ability to meet projected revenue targets and generate cash from operations has been impacted by delays in new orders of our energy storage solutions, primarily due to deferrals of new forklift purchases caused by lower capital spending in the market sector that the Company serves and due to interest rate variability affecting capital spending in certain large customer fleets.
The Company imports a portion of its raw materials and components parts from other countries, including China. Recently, many of the countries where the Company sources raw materials and component parts have become subject to import tariffs upon entry into the United States. The selling prices of the Company’s finished products are likely to increase if current or future tariffs remain in effect, which may have a negative impact on the Company’s revenues and cash flows.
Page 10
Management has evaluated the Company’s expected cash and working capital requirements, which include but are not limited to investments in additional sales and marketing, research and development and capital equipment, and believes the Company’s existing cash and funding available under the GBC Credit Facility and subordinated line of credit with Cleveland, along with the forecasted gross margin, will not be sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated capital resources to fund planned operations for the next twelve (12) months following the filing date of this quarterly report.
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 cost-saving initiatives including product cost efficiencies and planned operating cost savings. The planned gross margin improvement tasks include but are not limited to a plan to drive bill of material costs down while increasing the selling prices of our products for new orders. We also continue to execute our cost reduction, sourcing and pricing recovery initiatives in efforts to increase our gross margins and improve cash flow from operations. Unforeseen factors beyond management’s control, including economic uncertainty and the impact of global tariff initiatives, could potentially have a negative impact on the planned gross margin improvement plan. Management is continuing to evaluate other sources of capital to fund its 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 its 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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5 –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 matures on July 28, 2025 (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 one (1) 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.

On November 2, 2023, the Company entered into a Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with Cleveland Capital, L.P., (“Cleveland”). 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”).
Page 14
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 August 15, 2025 (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. In the event of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Warrant Certificate), the holder of the Warrants will be entitled to exercise the Warrants and receive the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as such holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Triggering Event if such holder had exercised the rights represented by the Warrant Certificate immediately prior to the Triggering Event. 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 7 – Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit).

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 (the “Common Stock”) 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.

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.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On March 6, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2023 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2023 ESPP”), and on April 20, 2023, the 2023 ESPP was approved by the Company’s stockholders. The 2023 ESPP enables eligible employees of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (a “Participating Subsidiary”) to use payroll deductions to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock and acquire an ownership interest in the Company. 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 1-15% 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. While the purchase price for the offering period ending September 30, 2024 under the 2023 ESPP had been established as of September 30, 2024, the Company was unable to issue shares of its common stock until it became current with its required SEC filings. On March 28, 2024, participants in the offering period ending March 28, 2024 purchased 37,543 shares of common stock at $2.80 per share. At March 31, 2025, there were 252,120 shares of the Company’s common stock available for grant under the 2023 ESPP.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 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:
| Three months ended March 31, | Nine months ended March 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Selling and administrative | $161,000 | $528,000 | $730,000 | $1,058,000 |
| Research and development | 45,000 | 35,000 | 101,000 | 175,000 |
| Total stock-based compensation expense | $206,000 | $563,000 | $831,000 | $1,233,000 |
At March 31, 2025, the unamortized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding stock options and RSUs was approximately $927,000 and $17,000, respectively, and these amounts are expected to be expensed over the weighted-average remaining recognition period of 1.22 years andone month, respectively.

NOTE 9 -COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
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. (Case No. 2:24-cv-02051), against the Company, our former 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 (Case No. 3:25-cv-00113-JO-DDL). 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. Defendants will file their motion(s) to dismiss on or before May 12, 2025. The case is still in its early stages. Management believes these claims to be meritless and intends to vigorously defend against them.

Shareholder Derivative Action
On January 7, 2025, plaintiff Ronald Pearl filed a purported shareholder 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 theKassamsecurities 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 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).
Employment Related Actions
On April 30, 2024, a former employee (the “Employee”) filed a class action complaint against the Company and Insperity, its 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 prejudice.

CPM is a San Diego based staffing company that provided employees (including the plaintiff) to the Company. The plaintiff has alleged that the Company and CPM were “joint employers” to the plaintiff under California law and are jointly liable for the plaintiff’s claims. The plaintiff is seeking 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. This case was settled for an immaterial amount on April 28, 2025.
It is not possible at this time to reasonably assess the final outcomes of these proceedings or reasonably to estimate the possible loss or range of loss with respect to these proceedings. The Company intends to vigorously defend against these claims.

NOTE 10 -SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the U.S. government increased certain existing tariffs and implemented new tariffs on imported products. SeeBusiness Trends and Uncertainties in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 8 - Concentrations for information regarding the impact of tariffs on the Company.
In April 2025, the U.S. government increased import tariffs across a wide range of countries at various rates, including on product imports from almost all countries, and individualized higher tariffs on certain countries, which include countries where the Company sources raw materials and components, notably China. As a result, selling prices of the Company’s finished products are likely to increase if tariffs are enforced at the April 2025 levels or are increased in the future, which may have a negative impact on the Company’s revenues, profitability and cash flows. While some of these tariff announcements have since been followed by announcements of limited exemptions and temporary pauses, due to the uncertainties pertaining to tariffs and tariff levels it is difficult for the Company to reliably forecast their short-term or ongoing impact to its business or that of its customers. Imports from our supplier in China have been temporarily paused to allow us to explore new arrangements with them. In addition, we are actively pursuing alternative sourcing strategies.
Management evaluated events subsequent to March 31, 2025 through the filing date of these condensed consolidated financial statements and concluded there are no additional material subsequent events to disclose.
