Flux Power Holdings, Inc.

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks set forth below and in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on January 29, 2025, before making an investment decision. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should read the section captioned “Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” above for a discussion of what types of statements are forward-looking statements, as well as the significance of such statements in the context of this report.

We are not currently in compliance with the continued listing requirements for the Nasdaq Stock Market. If we fail to regain compliance or to meet the continued listing requirements, our common stock may be delisted, which could affect the market price of our common stock, negatively impact stockholders’ ability to sell shares and negatively impact our ability to access the capital markets.

On January 31, 2025, we received a notice (the “Stockholders’ Equity Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) LLC notifying the Company that based on its stockholders’ equity of $194,000 as reported in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the Company is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing on Nasdaq (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”).

Under the Nasdaq rules and pursuant to the Stockholders’ Equity Notice, we had until March 17, 2025 to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity requirement. On March 17, 2025, we filed such plan with Nasdaq to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity requirement, including requesting an extension through July 30, 2025, which is 180 calendar days from the date of the Stockholders’ Equity Notice to regain compliance of the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. In the event the plan is not accepted by Nasdaq, or in the event the plan is accepted by Nasdaq and the 180-day extension period is granted, but we fail to regain compliance within such plan period, we would have the right to a hearing before an independent panel. The hearing request would stay any suspension or delisting action pending the conclusion of the hearing process and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the panel following the hearing. We intend to take all reasonable measures available to regain compliance under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and to remain listed on Nasdaq.

Any subsequent failure to regain and maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq could result in delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq and negatively impact our company and holders of our common stock, including by reducing the liquidity and trading of our common stock, limited availability of price quotations and reduced news and analyst coverage. Delisting may adversely impact the perception of our financial condition, cause reputational harm with investors, our employees and parties conducting business with us and limit our access to debt and equity financing.

In addition, we cannot assure that we will be able to continue to comply with the minimum bid price requirement, successfully comply and continue to comply with the stockholders’ equity requirement, and the other standards that we are required to meet in order to maintain a listing of our common stock on Nasdaq. Our failure to continue to meet these requirements may result in our common stock being delisted from Nasdaq. There can be no assurance that our common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq or trade on the over-the counter markets or any public market in the future. In the event our common stock is delisted, our stock price and market liquidity of our stock will be adversely affected which will impact your ability to sell your securities in the market.

We are dependent on one supplier in China for our battery cells, and the inability of this supplier to continue to deliver, or their refusal to deliver, our battery cells at prices and volumes acceptable to us, or as a result of any supply chain disruption, would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects and operating results.

We do not manufacture the battery cells used in our energy storage solutions. Our battery cells, which are an integral part of our energy storage solutions, are sourced from a single manufacturer located in China. While we obtain components for our products and systems from multiple sources whenever possible, we have spent a great deal of time in developing and testing our battery cells that we receive from our main supplier. Our operations are materially dependent upon the continued market acceptance and quality of this manufacturer’s products and its ability to continue to manufacture products that are competitive and that comply with laws relating to environmental and efficiency standards. Our inability to obtain products from our main supplier or a decline in market acceptance of its products could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. From time to time we have experienced shortages, allocations and discontinuances of certain components and products, resulting in delays in filling orders. Qualifying new suppliers to compensate for such shortages may be time-consuming and costly. In addition, we may have to recertify our UL Listings for the battery cells from new suppliers, which in turn has led to delays in product acceptance. Similar delays may occur in the future. Furthermore, the performance of the components from our supplier as incorporated in our products may not meet the quality requirements of our customers.

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, including China. As a result of such developments, we have currently paused all imports from our supplier in China and are actively seeking alternative sourcing arrangements. If we are unable to diversify our supply chain and reduce China sourcing, we remain subject to substantial potential exposure to tariffs, which would have significant impacts on our cost structure and product margins.

To date, we have no qualified alternative sources for our battery cells although we research and assess cells from other suppliers on an ongoing basis. We generally do not maintain long-term agreements with our current supplier. While we believe that we will be able to establish additional supplier relationships for our battery cells, we may be unable to do so in the short term or at all at prices, quality or costs that are favorable to us. We are currently actively assessing our options to diversify suppliers for our battery cells to lessen this concentration, however, in the near term, this relationship with our primary manufacturer is a critical component in our business and operations. The loss of this supplier, significant changes in our product requirements, delays of significant orders, and ongoing uncertainties due to current and potential tariffs on our products could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. While we are actively evaluating the potential impacts of these proposed tariffs, as well as our ability to mitigate their related impacts, such tariffs may have a negative impact on our revenues and cash flows. If other additional or retaliatory tariffs are adopted, we would incur additional tariff costs that could be material. In addition, trade-related disruptions can create further uncertainty and supply chain interruptions, which may result in last-minute procurement efforts at elevated cost.

Changes in business conditions, wars, regulatory requirements, economic conditions and cycles, governmental changes, pandemic, and other factors beyond our control could also affect our suppliers’ ability to deliver components to us on a timely basis or cause us to terminate our relationship with them and require us to find replacements, which we may have difficulty doing. Furthermore, if we experience significant increased demand, or need to replace our existing suppliers, there can be no assurance that additional supplies of component parts will be available when required on terms that are favorable to us, at all, or that any supplier would allocate sufficient supplies to us in order to meet our requirements or fill our orders in a timely manner. In the past, we have replaced certain suppliers because of their failure to provide components that met our quality control standards. The loss of any limited source supplier or the disruption in the supply of components from these suppliers could lead to delays in the deliveries of our battery products and systems to our customers, which could hurt our relationships with our customers and also materially adversely affect our business, prospects and operating results.

The U.S. government is currently imposing increased tariffs on certain products imported into the U.S., which includes lithium-ion batteries and other component parts, which may have an adverse impact on our future operating results.

The lithium-ion battery industry has been subjected to tariffs implemented by the United States government on goods imported from China. Since all of our lithium-ion batteries are manufactured in China, current and potential tariffs on lithium-ion batteries imported by us from China could increase our costs, require us to increase prices to our customers or, if we are unable to do so, result in lower gross margins on the products sold by us. 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. Some of these tariff announcements have since been followed by announcements of limited exemptions and temporary pauses. Based on the tariffs enacted and currently in effect, we anticipate incurring incremental tariff costs, additional costs that we may incur on component parts for our battery backs, and costs as a result of import pauses on certain of our product imports and supply-chain interruptions. As a result of such developments, we have currently paused all imports from our supplier in China and are actively seeking alternative sourcing arrangements. If we are unable to diversify our supply chain and reduce China sourcing, we remain subject to substantial potential exposure to tariffs, which would have significant impacts on our cost structure and product margins.

We also import a portion of our raw materials and components from other countries that are subject to import tariffs imposed by the U.S. government. These tariff changes and subsequent retaliatory actions have the potential to increase product costs for us. China has already imposed tariffs on a wide range of American products in retaliation for the American tariffs on steel and aluminum. Any resulting escalation of trade tensions, including any further escalation of “trade wars” with other countries, could have a significant adverse effect on world trade and the world economy, lead to disruptions in our supply chain, and as such, adversely impact our results of operations.

At this time, we cannot predict how such enacted tariffs will impact our business and operations. The imposed tariffs on components imported by us from China or additional tariffs on other countries where we source components necessary for our products could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, any changes in tariffs or additional restrictions on various products may be announced with little or no advance notice. The adoption and expansion of tariffs or other trade restrictions, increasing trade tensions, or other changes in governmental policies related to tariffs, trade agreements, products or policies, are difficult to anticipate or predict, which makes it difficult for us to operate optimally. If we are unable to navigate further changes in U.S. or international trade policy, it could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations. We are closely monitoring potential changes in international trade policy and actively assessing the potential impact of these and other trade policy changes on our business operations and financial performance.
