NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization and Operations
KULR Technology Group, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, KULR Technology Corporation (collectively referred to as “KULR” or the “Company”), develops and commercializes high-performance thermal management technologies for electronics, batteries, and other components across a range of applications. Currently, the Company is focused on targeting both high performance aerospace and Department of Defense (“DOD”) applications, such as space exploration, satellite communications, and underwater vehicles, and applying them to mass market commercial applications, such as lithium-ion battery energy storage, electric vehicles, fifth generation (“5G”) communication, cloud computer infrastructure, consumer and industrial devices.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2024, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2024, or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related disclosures as of December 31, 2023 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-K on April 12, 2024. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Since the date of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies, except as disclosed in this note.
Going Concern and Management’s Liquidity Plans
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $
The Company’s primary source of liquidity has historically been cash generated from equity and debt offerings along with cash flows from revenue. Under ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”), the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, since the Company’s inception, we have had a history of recurring net losses from operations, recurring use of cash in operating activities and working capital deficits.
Future cash requirements for our current liabilities include $
On December 20, 2023, the Company received a notice of noncompliance from NYSE Regulation (“NYSE”) stating it is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(iii) in the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) since the Company reported stockholders’ equity of $

KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
On March 5, 2024, the Company received a notification from the NYSE that the Company’s plan to regain compliance with Section 1003 (a)(iii) of the Company Guide was accepted and so long as the Company meets its interim objectives, the Company will have until June 20, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement. On May 1, 2024, the Company received a notification from the NYSE stating that the Company had regained compliance with Section 1003 (f)(v) of the Company Guide, given the increase in the trading price of the Company’s securities.
The factors above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due within the twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
Management’s plans to mitigate the factors which raise substantial doubt include (i) revenue growth, (ii) reducing operating expenses through careful cost management, and (iii) raising additional funds through future financings.
On July 3, 2024, the Company entered into an At the Market Offering agreement (the “ATM”) with an agent (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully execute the aforementioned initiatives. There is no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its development initiatives or attain profitable operations. The aforementioned factors indicate that management’s plans do not alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, together with amounts disclosed in the related notes to the financial statements. The Company’s significant estimates used in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, fair value calculations for intangible assets, equity securities, stock-based compensation and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consisted primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company’s concentrations of credit risk also include concentrations from key customers and vendors.
Cash Concentrations
A significant portion of the Company’s cash is held at one major financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Cash held in US bank institutions is currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 at each institution. There were uninsured balances of $

The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue, or whose accounts receivable balances individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable, as follows:

Customer G | * | * | | % | * | * | * | ||||||
Total |
| | % | | % | | % | | % | | % | | % |
* | Less than 10% |
There is no assurance the Company will continue to receive significant revenue from any of these customers. Any reduction or delay in operating activity from any of the Company’s significant customers, or a delay or default in payment by any significant customer, or termination of agreements with significant customers, could materially harm the Company’s business and prospects. As a result of the Company’s significant customer concentrations, its gross profit and results from operations could fluctuate significantly due to changes in political, environmental, or economic conditions, or the loss of, reduction of business from, or less favorable terms with any of the Company’s significant customers.
Vendor Concentrations
The Company had vendors whose purchases of inventory individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total purchases of inventory, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as follows:

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at their contractual amounts, less an estimate for credit losses. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no allowances for credit losses were determined to be necessary. Management estimates the allowance for credit losses based on existing economic conditions, the financial conditions of the customers, and the amount and age of past due accounts. Receivables are considered past due if full payment is not received by the contractual due date. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for credit losses only after all collection attempts have been exhausted.

Inventory
The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with products when future commercialization is considered probable, and a future economic benefit is expected to be realized. These costs consist of finished goods, raw materials, manufacturing-related costs, transportation and freight, and other indirect overhead costs.
Inventory is comprised of carbon fiber velvet (“CFV”) thermal interface solutions and internal short circuit batteries, which are available for sale, as well as raw materials and work in process related primarily to the manufacture of safe cases. Safe cases provide a safe and cost-effective solution to commercially store and transport lithium batteries and mitigate the impacts of cell-to-cell thermal runway propagation. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The cost of inventory that is sold to third parties is included within cost of revenue and the cost of inventory that is given as samples is included within operating expenses. The Company periodically reviews for slow-moving, excess or obsolete inventories. Products that are determined to be obsolete, if any, are written down to net realizable value. On occasion, the Company pays for inventory prior to receiving the goods. These payments are recorded as inventory deposits until the goods are received and these costs are included in the current asset section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, inventory deposits were $
Inventory at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was comprised of the following:

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.
The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
● | Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer; |
● | Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
● | Step 3: Determine the transaction price; |
● | Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
● | Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation. |
The Company recognizes revenue primarily from the following different types of contracts:
● | Product sales – Revenue is recognized at the point in time the customer obtains control of the goods and the Company satisfies its performance obligation, which is generally at the time it ships the product to the customer. |
12
KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

● | Contract services – Revenue is recognized pursuant to the terms of each individual contract when the Company satisfies the respective performance obligations, which could be recognized at a point in time or over the term of the contract. |
Contract services revenue that is recognized over time, may be recognized using the input method, based on labor hours expended, or using the output method based on milestones achieved, depending on the contract.
The following table summarizes the Company’s revenue recognized by type of contract in its condensed consolidated statements of operations:

Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common-equivalent shares outstanding during each period.

Operating Leases
The Company leases properties under operating leases. For leases in effect upon adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” at January 1, 2020, and for any leases commencing thereafter, the Company recognizes a liability to make lease payments, the “lease liability”, and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term, the “right-of-use asset”. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The right-of-use asset is measured at the amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease incentives received, any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent if the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term, any unamortized initial direct costs, and any impairment of the right-of-use-asset. Operating lease expense consists of a single lease cost calculated so that the remaining cost of the lease is allocated over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis, variable lease payments not included in the lease liability, and any impairment of the right-of-use asset. The Company elected the accounting policy to include both the lease and non-lease components of the agreements as a single component and account for them as a lease.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported results of operations or loss per share.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date on which these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements, except as disclosed in Note 12 – Subsequent Events.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” These amendments require a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Public entities with a single reporting segment are required to provide both the new disclosures and all of the existing disclosures required under ASC 280. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating any new disclosures that may be required upon adoption of ASU 2023-07.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This update also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023 – 09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating any new disclosures that may be required upon adoption of ASU 2023–09.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The guidance is effective for the Company in financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but only at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2024, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Option forfeitures are accounted for at the time of occurrence. The expected term used is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of employee option grants. The Company utilizes an expected volatility figure based on the historical volatility of its common stock over a period of time equivalent to the expected term of the instrument being valued. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.

Overview
KULR Technology Group, Inc., through our wholly owned subsidiary KULR Technology Corporation, maintains expertise in three key technology domain areas: (1) energy storage systems and recycling, (2) thermal management solutions, and (3) rotary system vibration reduction. Historically, KULR, focused on thermal energy management solutions for space and Department of Defense (DoD) applications, with recent expansion into energy storage and vibration reduction markets as the logical next step. Combined, this energy management platform consists of high-performance thermal management technologies for batteries and electronics, AI-powered battery management and vibration mitigation software solutions, and reusable energy storage modules. Our mission is to advance and apply these technologies to make our world more sustainable by using less energy; using energy more efficiently; making energy consumption safer and cooler; using less materials to achieve these goals; and completing the circular economy through recycling.
Active government initiatives propelled by industry and regulatory tailwinds are increasing demand for energy storage, battery recycling and clean energy, resulting in an expanding total addressable market for KULR’s solutions. According to Precedence Research, global energy storage systems market is to grow from $210B in 2021 to $435B by 2030. Global lithium-ion battery recycling industry is to grow from $4.6B in 2021 to $22.8B by 2030, according to Market and Markets Research. Additionally, the domain driving the growth of KULR’s battery design and production capabilities is the private space exploration market sector, which requires highly custom, safe, and reliable energy storage systems, and is expected to reach $1,110.8B by 2030 according to CoherentMI. The Company’s disruptive technologies strive to fulfill an addressable $24 billion thermal management systems market (estimated based on market data projections published by Converged Markets stating that the thermal management systems market size was projected to grow to $24.8 billion by 2025).

The Independent Members of the Board have determined that the issuance represents a pivotal strategic move to reinforce and enhance the Company’s flexibility to optimize the Company’s negotiating position in any potential current and/or future engagements with commercial, financial, and/or strategic parties, and to provide defenses against potential hostile third-party actions.
Recent Shareholder Vote by Majority Written Consent
On February 9, 2024, the shareholders of the Company, acted by way of majority written consent (in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders) to approve resolutions authorizing the Company’s Board of Directors to take the following actions: (1) to issue shares of Common Stock to current or future engagements with commercial or strategic parties, which may result in issuances of over 20% of the
31
issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock; (2) to amend the Company’s Bylaws to decrease the number of shares of Common Stock needed to establish a quorum for meetings of stock holders to thirty-three-and-one-third percent (33 1/3 %) of the outstanding voting securities of the Company; (3) to amend the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to effect a reverse split within a ratio range between 1-for-2 and 1-for-80, which the Company has not taken the required action to effect this reverse split; (4) to issue shares of common stock, in connection with an existing financing facility, which may result in the potential issuance of over 20% of the issued and outstanding shares. The resolution was approved by shareholders holding approximately in aggregate of 55.72% of ownership percentage of the voting stock as of February 9, 2024.
Risks Associated with Ongoing Conflicts
The short and long-term worldwide implications of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are difficult to predict at this time. The imposition of sanctions on Russia by the United States or other countries and possible counter sanctions by Russia, and the resulting economic impacts on oil prices and other materials and goods, could affect the price of materials used in the manufacture of our product candidates. If the price of materials used in the manufacturing of our product candidates increase, that would adversely affect our business and the results of our operations.
Additionally, we do not have operations or material net sales in Israel or Gaza and we currently do not expect the recent hostilities in that region to have a material impact on our business.
We cannot predict how the events described above will evolve. If the events continue for a significant period of time or expand to other countries, and depending on the ultimate outcomes of these conflicts, which remain uncertain, they could heighten certain risks disclosed in Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on April 12, 2024, including, but not limited to, adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions, including increased inflation, constraints on the availability of commodities, supply chain disruption and decreased business spending; cyber-incidents; disruptions to our or our business partners’ global technology infrastructure, including through cyber-attack or cyber-intrusion; adverse changes in international trade policies and relations; claims, litigation and regulatory enforcement; our ability to implement and execute our business strategy; terrorist activities; our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations; reputational risk; and constraints, volatility, or disruption in the capital markets, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Compliance with NYSE American Continued Listing Requirements
On December 20, 2023, the Company received a notice of noncompliance (the “Stockholders’ Equity Notice”) from NYSE Regulation (“NYSE”) stating that it is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) in the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) since the Company reported stockholders’ equity of $1,200,172 on September 30, 2023, and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years. Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide requires a listed company to have stockholders’ equity of $6 million or more if the listed company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years.
As required by the Stockholders’ Equity Notice, on January 19, 2024, the Company submitted a plan (the “Plan”) to NYSE advising of actions it has taken or will take to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by June 20, 2025. NYSE staff will review the Company periodically for compliance with the initiatives outlined in the Plan. If the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards by June 20, 2025, or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the Plan during the Plan period, NYSE staff will initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate.
On March 5, 2024, the Company received a notification from the NYSE that the Company’s plan to regain compliance with Section 1003 (a)(iii) of the Company Guide was accepted and so long as the Company meets its interim objectives, the Company will have until June 20, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement.
On February 12, 2024, the Company received a notice letter (the “Letter”) from NYSE stating that it is not in compliance with Section 1003(f)(v) of the Company Guide since the Company’s securities were trading at an average of less than $0.20 per share for 30 days. However, on May 1, 2024, the Company received a notification from the NYSE stating that the Company had regained compliance with Section 1003 (f) (v) of the Company Guide given the increase in the trading price of the Company’s securities.

The decline in product sales can be attributed to several expected first half 2024 orders, which management now expects to receive in the second half of 2024. We can provide no assurance as to when we will receive the expected orders.
Revenue from contract services during the three months ended June 30, 2024, increased by $559,100 or 76% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Service revenues include certain research and development contracts and onsite engineering services. We had 14 contract services customers in the second quarter of 2024, compared with 7 in the second quarter of 2023. One large contract received during the second quarter of 2024 generated $460,000 of service revenues, while $217,689 of service revenues previously deferred, were also recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Revenue from contract services during the six months ended June 30, 2024, increased by $1,562,567 or 180% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. We had 21 contract services customers in the first six months of 2024, compared with 11 in the first six months of 2023. Five large contracts received during 2024 generated $1,113,871 of service revenues, while $529,880 of service revenues deferred at December 31, 2023 were recognized in the first six months of 2024.
Our customers and prospective customers are large organizations with multiple levels of management, controls/procedures, and contract evaluation/authorization. Furthermore, our solutions are new and do not necessarily fit into pre-existing patterns of purchase commitments. Accordingly, the business activity cycle between expression of initial customer interest to shipping, acceptance and billing can be lengthy, unpredictable, and lumpy, which can influence the timing, consistency and reporting of sales growth.
Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
Cost of revenue consisted of the cost of our products as well as labor and production overhead expenses directly related to product sales or research contract services.
Product mix plays an important part in our reported average margins for any period. Because we are introducing new products at an early stage in our development cycle, the margins earned can vary significantly between periods, customers, products and services due to the learning process, customer negotiating strengths, and product mix, among other factors.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, cost of revenues was $1,859,377 and $1,693,318, respectively, representing an increase of $166,059 or 10%. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, gross profit was $572,628 and $1,002,188, respectively, a decline of $429,560 or 43%. Our gross profit margins were 24% and 37%, during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in the current period profit margin was primarily due to (a) approximately $350,000 of labor and materials costs in the current period associated with a specific project which had no corresponding current period revenue; and (b) an approximately $80,000 increase in quarterly depreciation expense for revenue generating equipment that was put into service during the last month of the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, cost of revenues was $3,097,692 and $2,809,732, respectively, representing an increase of $287,960 or 10%. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, gross profit was $1,083,417 and $1,645,576, respectively, a decline of $562,159 or 34%. Our gross profit margins were 26% and 37%, during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The decrease in the current period profit margin was primarily due to (a) approximately $600,000 of labor and materials costs in the current period associated with a specific project which had no corresponding current period revenue; and (b) an approximately $250,000 increase in quarterly depreciation expense for revenue generating equipment that was put into service during the last month of the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Other (Expense) Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, other expense, net, was a net expense of $563,470 and $255,012, respectively, representing an increase of $308,458, or 121%. The change is primarily attributable to an increase of $312,644 for amortization of debt discount in connection with the Prepaid Advance Liability and notes payable, an increase of $159,389 for the change in fair value of accrued issuable equity, partially offset by a decrease in interest recorded in connection with the Prepaid Advance Liability of $163,576.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, other expense, net, was a net expense of $915,609 and $597,155, respectively, representing an increase of $318,454, or 53%. The change is primarily attributable to an increase of $241,402 for amortization of debt discount in connection with the Prepaid Advance Liability and notes payable, an increase of $236,499 for the change in fair value of accrued issuable equity and $31,358 related to a 2024 loss on the extinguishment of debt related to the Prepaid Advance Liability, partially offset by a decrease of $190,805 in interest recorded in connection with the Prepaid Advance Liability.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2024 and December 2023, we had cash balances of $1,016,943 and $1,194,764, respectively, and a working capital deficit of $2,381,478 and $2,994,753, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $9,198,453 and $9,858,687, respectively. Our net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily attributable to our net loss of $10,899,404, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $3,970,681, plus $2,269,730 of net cash used to fund changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities. Our net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily attributable to our net loss of $12,937,853, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $3,192,878, as well as $113,712 of net cash used to fund changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $163,023 and $894,976, respectively.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024, was due to proceeds from SEPA Advance Notices totaling $9,104,950, and net proceeds from notes payable totaling $1,730,000, partially offset by notes payable repayments of $1,525,195 and issuance costs on notes payable of $126,100. Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023, was from proceeds from the second prepaid advance of $2,000,000, partially offset by $229,249 for the repurchase of common stock to pay tax on behalf of an employee for vested shares of restricted common stock and $30,000 for financing costs associated with the prepaid advance.
Future cash requirements for our current liabilities as of June 30, 2024, include $4,811,565 for accounts payable and accrued expenses, $784,006 for notes payable and $487,369 for operating leases.

Our primary source of liquidity has historically been cash generated from equity and debt offerings. Under ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”), we have the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about our ability to meet future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. We have a history of recurring net losses, recurring use of cash in operations and declining working capital.
On April 2, 2024, the Company received cash proceeds of $440,000 related to an unsecured Promissory Note comprised of an initial principal amount of $500,000 and discount of $60,000. The Promissory Note carries an annual interest rate of 0% and increases to 15% in the event of default and has a maturity date of October 2, 2024. This note was fully repaid on May 28, 2024. See Note 9 – Notes Payable for additional information.
35
On April 9, 2024, the Company received cash proceeds of $200,000 related to an unsecured Promissory Note which matures on the first anniversary of its issuance and carries an annual interest rate of 16%. In the event the promissory note is prepaid within 9 months of its issuance, the holder is entitled to the repayment of principal and cash payment of interest equal to 12% of the prepayment amount. See Note 9 – Notes Payable – for additional information.
Subsequent to June 30, 2024, the Company entered into an At the Market Offering agreement (the “ATM”) to raise up to $20,000,000 through sales of the Company’s common stock. During the period from July 3, 2024, through August 9, 2024, the Company has sold 4,953,867 shares of common stock pursuant to this offering, with gross proceeds of $1,416,940.
On July 11, 2024, the Company entered into a third merchant cash advance agreement (the “Third Cash Advance Agreement”) with a lender, pursuant to which the Company received $758,850 of cash (net of underwriting fees of $40,000 and $201,150 used to pay the remaining balance of the first merchant cash advance), with the obligation to repay a total of $1,350,000 over forty-three weekly payments of $31,395, beginning July 18, 2024. The Third Cash Advance Agreement is secured by the Company’s accounts receivable and related cash receipts. In addition, on July 11, 2024, the Company fully repaid the balance on the first cash advance ($201,150) and amended the Second Cash Advance to reduce the weekly repayment amount from $26,820 to $15,620 and extend the repayment period from September 27, 2024 to November 15, 2024.
As of the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has no additional commitments to obtain additional funding through future debt or equity financings, and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Further, there is no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its development initiatives or attain profitable operations. The aforementioned factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements.
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements between us and any other entity that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on financial conditions, changes in financial conditions, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial results will be affected. The accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates and judgments and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results are described in the notes to our financial statements.
We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. There are items within our financial statements that require estimation but are not deemed critical, as defined above.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1) and are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations of the Effectiveness of Controls
Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Since the date of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies, except as disclosed in this note. Going Concern and Management’s Liquidity Plans As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $1,016,943 and a working capital deficit of $2,381,478. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $10,899,404 and used cash in operating activities of $9,198,453. The Company’s primary source of liquidity has historically been cash generated from equity and debt offerings along with cash flows from revenue. Under ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”), the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, since the Company’s inception, we have had a history of recurring net losses from operations, recurring use of cash in operating activities and working capital deficits. Future cash requirements for our current liabilities include $4,811,565 for accounts payable and accrued expenses, $784,006 for secured promissory notes (see Note 9 – Notes Payable) and $487,369 for future payments under operating leases. Future cash requirements for long-term liabilities include $1,059,898 for future payments under operating leases and $250,000 for unsecured promissory notes. On December 20, 2023, the Company received a notice of noncompliance from NYSE Regulation (“NYSE”) stating it is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(iii) in the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) since the Company reported stockholders’ equity of $1,200,172 at September 30, 2023, and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years. On February 12, 2024, the Company received a second notice letter from NYSE stating it is not in compliance with Section 1003 (f)(v) of the Company guide since the Company’s securities were trading at an average of less than $0.20 per share for 30 days. On March 5, 2024, the Company received a notification from the NYSE that the Company’s plan to regain compliance with Section 1003 (a)(iii) of the Company Guide was accepted and so long as the Company meets its interim objectives, the Company will have until June 20, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement. On May 1, 2024, the Company received a notification from the NYSE stating that the Company had regained compliance with Section 1003 (f)(v) of the Company Guide, given the increase in the trading price of the Company’s securities. The factors above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due within the twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Management’s plans to mitigate the factors which raise substantial doubt include (i) revenue growth, (ii) reducing operating expenses through careful cost management, and (iii) raising additional funds through future financings. On July 3, 2024, the Company entered into an At the Market Offering agreement (the “ATM”) with an agent (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $20,000,000 in “at the market” offerings through or to the Agent. Sales of the shares of common stock, if any, will be made at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, or as otherwise agreed with the Agent. The Agent will receive a commission from the Company of 3% of the gross proceeds of any shares of common stock sold under the Sales Agreement. During the period from July 3, 2024, through August 9, 2024, the Company issued a total of 4,953,867 shares of common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement for aggregate proceeds of $1,416,940. See Note 12 – Subsequent Events – At the Market Offering for additional information. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully execute the aforementioned initiatives. There is no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its development initiatives or attain profitable operations. The aforementioned factors indicate that management’s plans do not alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Use of Estimates Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, together with amounts disclosed in the related notes to the financial statements. The Company’s significant estimates used in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, fair value calculations for intangible assets, equity securities, stock-based compensation and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consisted primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company’s concentrations of credit risk also include concentrations from key customers and vendors. Cash Concentrations A significant portion of the Company’s cash is held at one major financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Cash held in US bank institutions is currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 at each institution. There were uninsured balances of $516,943 and $694,764 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Customer and Revenue Concentrations The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue, or whose accounts receivable balances individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable, as follows:
There is no assurance the Company will continue to receive significant revenue from any of these customers. Any reduction or delay in operating activity from any of the Company’s significant customers, or a delay or default in payment by any significant customer, or termination of agreements with significant customers, could materially harm the Company’s business and prospects. As a result of the Company’s significant customer concentrations, its gross profit and results from operations could fluctuate significantly due to changes in political, environmental, or economic conditions, or the loss of, reduction of business from, or less favorable terms with any of the Company’s significant customers. Vendor Concentrations The Company had vendors whose purchases of inventory individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total purchases of inventory, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as follows:
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are carried at their contractual amounts, less an estimate for credit losses. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no allowances for credit losses were determined to be necessary. Management estimates the allowance for credit losses based on existing economic conditions, the financial conditions of the customers, and the amount and age of past due accounts. Receivables are considered past due if full payment is not received by the contractual due date. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for credit losses only after all collection attempts have been exhausted. Inventory The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with products when future commercialization is considered probable, and a future economic benefit is expected to be realized. These costs consist of finished goods, raw materials, manufacturing-related costs, transportation and freight, and other indirect overhead costs. Inventory is comprised of carbon fiber velvet (“CFV”) thermal interface solutions and internal short circuit batteries, which are available for sale, as well as raw materials and work in process related primarily to the manufacture of safe cases. Safe cases provide a safe and cost-effective solution to commercially store and transport lithium batteries and mitigate the impacts of cell-to-cell thermal runway propagation. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The cost of inventory that is sold to third parties is included within cost of revenue and the cost of inventory that is given as samples is included within operating expenses. The Company periodically reviews for slow-moving, excess or obsolete inventories. Products that are determined to be obsolete, if any, are written down to net realizable value. On occasion, the Company pays for inventory prior to receiving the goods. These payments are recorded as inventory deposits until the goods are received and these costs are included in the current asset section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, inventory deposits were $10,883 and $27,500, respectively. Finished goods inventory is held on-site at the San Diego, California and Webster, Texas locations. Certain raw materials are held off-site with certain contract manufacturers. Inventory at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was comprised of the following:
Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
The Company recognizes revenue primarily from the following different types of contracts:
Contract services revenue that is recognized over time, may be recognized using the input method, based on labor hours expended, or using the output method based on milestones achieved, depending on the contract. The following table summarizes the Company’s revenue recognized by type of contract in its condensed consolidated statements of operations:
Net Loss Per Common Share Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common-equivalent shares outstanding during each period. The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share:
The following shares were excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:
(1)Shares issuable estimated using the floor price of $0.75 per share pursuant to the supplemental agreement to the SEPA (see Note 6 – Prepaid Advance Liability). Operating Leases The Company leases properties under operating leases. For leases in effect upon adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” at January 1, 2020, and for any leases commencing thereafter, the Company recognizes a liability to make lease payments, the “lease liability”, and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term, the “right-of-use asset”. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The right-of-use asset is measured at the amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease incentives received, any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent if the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term, any unamortized initial direct costs, and any impairment of the right-of-use-asset. Operating lease expense consists of a single lease cost calculated so that the remaining cost of the lease is allocated over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis, variable lease payments not included in the lease liability, and any impairment of the right-of-use asset. The Company elected the accounting policy to include both the lease and non-lease components of the agreements as a single component and account for them as a lease. Reclassifications Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported results of operations or loss per share. Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date on which these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements, except as disclosed in Note 12 – Subsequent Events. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” These amendments require a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Public entities with a single reporting segment are required to provide both the new disclosures and all of the existing disclosures required under ASC 280. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating any new disclosures that may be required upon adoption of ASU 2023-07. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This update also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023 – 09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating any new disclosures that may be required upon adoption of ASU 2023–09. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The guidance is effective for the Company in financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but only at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2024, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. |

NOTES PAYABLE | NOTE 9-NOTES PAYABLE A summary of the notes payable activity during the six months ended June 30, 2024 is presented below:
On January 22, 2024, the Company entered into a merchant cash advance agreement (the “Cash Advance Agreement”) whereby the Company received $504,900 of cash (net of underwriting fees of $35,100), and paid finder’s fees in cash of $21,600 and additional finder’s fees to be issued in equity, with the obligation to repay a total of $804,600 over thirty-two weekly payments of $25,143.75, beginning January 30, 2024. The difference between the total repayment amount and the net proceeds received was accounted for as debt discount, and along with the finder’s fees, is being amortized over thirty-two weeks using the effective interest rate method and an annualized effective interest rate of 217%. The Cash Advance Agreement was secured by the Company’s accounts receivable and related cash receipts. On February 26, 2024, the parties added an addendum to the agreement for an early payoff discount whereby the Company will owe $756,000 if paid by March 22, 2024, or $783,000 if paid by April 22, 2024. The Company did not take advantage of the early payoff discount and will continue making weekly payments over the original thirty-two-week term. On July 11, 2024, the Company used proceeds from a new merchant cash advance to repay this cash advance in full. See Note 12 – Subsequent Events – Merchant Cash Advance for additional information. On February 26, 2024, the Company entered into a merchant cash advance agreement (the “Second Cash Advance Agreement”) with the same lender mentioned above whereby the Company received $502,200 of cash (net of underwriting fees of $37,800), and paid finder’s fees in cash of $21,600 and additional finder’s fees to be issued in equity, with the obligation to repay a total of $804,600 over thirty weekly payments of $26,820, beginning February 29, 2024. The difference between the total repayment amount and the net proceeds received was accounted for as debt discount, and along with the finder’s fees, is being amortized over thirty weeks using the effective interest rate method and an annualized effective interest rate of 249%. The Second Cash Advance is secured by the Company’s accounts receivable and related cash receipts. On July 11, 2024, the terms of the agreement were revised whereby the weekly repayment amounts will be reduced from $26,820 to $15,620 and the repayment period will be extended from September 27, 2024, to November 15, 2024. On April 4, 2024, the Company and the finder of the First and Second Cash Advance Agreements determined that the equity compensation would be by issuance of warrants to purchase up to 81,788 shares (the “First Warrant”) and up to 108,389 shares (the “Second Warrant”), respectively, of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.1852 per share and $0.139 per share, respectively. The First Warrant and the Second Warrant (collectively the “Warrants”) were exercisable immediately and expire on January 22, 2027 and February 26, 2027, respectively. The Warrants had a grant date fair value of $112,863. The value of the Warrants was recognized as additional debt discount, which will be amortized over the repayment period. The Warrants contain a cashless exercise provision in the form of a net share settlement, whereby, if, at the time the holder exercises the Warrants, there is no effective registration statement registering the common stock subject to the Warrants, the holder may elect to receive the number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the warrant agreements. The following assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes Model to measure the fair value of the warrants:
On April 2, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Promissory Note”), with a lender (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender purchased an unsecured promissory note with an initial principal amount of $500,000, for cash proceeds of $440,000. The Company recorded a debt discount of $60,000, which consists of an original issue discount of $50,000 and cash issuance costs of $10,000. The Promissory Note carries an annual interest rate of 0%, which shall increase to 15% in the event of default, and has a maturity date of October 2, 2024, after which all outstanding principal and accrued interest will become immediately due. On May 28, 2024, the Company repaid the Promissory Note in full, and recognized $60,000 of amortization expense related to the debt discount. On April 9, 2024, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company issued an unsecured promissory note with an initial principal amount of $200,000 and which matures on the first anniversary of its issuance. The Company received cash proceeds of $200,000. The promissory note carries an annual interest rate of 16%. In the event the promissory note is prepaid within 9 months of its issuance, the holder is entitled to the repayment of principal and cash payment of interest equal to 12% of the prepayment amount instead of 16%. |

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT) | NOTE 10 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT) Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) and Supplemental SEPA On May 13, 2022, the Company entered into the SEPA with Yorkville. Pursuant to the SEPA, the Company had the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Yorkville up to an aggregate of $50,000,000 of its shares of common stock, at the Company’s request any time during the commitment period commencing on May 13, 2022, and terminating on June 1, 2024. Each sale (an “Advance”) that the Company requests under the SEPA (via an “Advance Notice”) may be for a number of shares of common stock with an aggregate value of up to $5,000,000. Shares are sold under the SEPA at 98.0% of the average of the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) during each of the consecutive trading days commencing on the trading day following the Company’s submission of an Advance Notice to Yorkville. Advances are subject to certain limitations, including that Yorkville will not purchase any shares that would result in it owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock at the time of an Advance, or more than the number of shares registered under the registration statement in effect at the time of the Advance.During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 55,659,476 shares of common stock pursuant to SEPA Advance Notices submitted by the Company to Yorkville for aggregate gross proceeds of $15,173,357. Of the gross proceeds, $9,104,950 was retained by the Company to fund operations. The remaining proceeds were applied against the principal and interest owed in connection with the Prepaid Advance Liability. As of March 27, 2024, the Prepaid Advance Liability and the related accrued interest has been repaid in full and the SEPA terminated on June 1, 2024. See Note 6 – Prepaid Advance Liability, for details related to a supplemental agreement to the SEPA. Common Stock During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 79,650 shares of immediately vested common stock with a grant date value of $27,141 for legal services.

The issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of Non-Convertible Series A Voting Preferred Stock was previously approved and authorized by a vote of the majority stockholders of the Company. Holders of Non-Convertible Series A Voting Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to dividends, shall not convert into another series or class of stock of the Company and have no rights to distributions in the event of any liquidation. Each record holder of Non-Convertible Series A Voting Preferred Stock shall have that number of votes (identical in every other respect to the voting rights of the holders of Common Stock entitled to vote at any regular or special meeting of the shareholders or by written consent) equal to one-hundred (100) votes per share of Non-Convertible Series A Voting Preferred Stock held by such record holder. Treasury Stock As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has 131,162 shares held in treasury recorded at their cost of $296,222.

A summary of outstanding and exercisable warrants as of June 30, 2024, is presented below:
See Note 9 – Notes Payable for additional details related to the 2024 warrant issuances. Stock Options A summary of stock options activity during the six months ended June 30, 2024, is presented below:
The following table presents information related to stock options as of June 30, 2024:
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the weighted average grant date fair value per share of options granted was $0.21 and $0.20, respectively, compared to $0.48 and $0.74, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company has computed the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Company used the following range of assumptions:
Option forfeitures are accounted for at the time of occurrence. The expected term used is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of employee option grants. The Company utilizes an expected volatility figure based on the historical volatility of its common stock over a period of time equivalent to the expected term of the instrument being valued. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued. As of June 30, 2024, there was $238,418 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the above stock options, which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 2.1 years. Restricted Stock Awards The following table presents information related to restricted stock awards activity during the six months ended June 30, 2024:
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 2,168,508 restricted stock units in exchange for the same quantity of restricted stock awards. The exchange of RSAs for RSUs did not result in a modification of any other terms, such as the grant date fair value or vesting period. As of June 30, 2024, there was $1,134,833 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards that will be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 0.91 years. Restricted Stock Units The following table presents information related to restricted stock units (“RSUs”) activity during the six months ended June 30, 2024:
As of June 30, 2024, there was $4,202,362 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units that will be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 2.68 years. Stock-Based Compensation During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $909,026 and $1,754,955, respectively, related to restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock options and stock issued for services, of which $870,837 and $1,678,942, respectively, is included within selling, general and administrative expenses, and $38,189 and $76,013, respectively is included within research and development expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $964,201 and $1,966,929, respectively, related to restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock options and stock issued for services, of which $927,375 and $1,831,370, respectively, is included within selling, general and administrative expenses, and $36,826 and $52,986, respectively is included within research and development expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS At the Market Offering On July 3, 2024, the Company entered into an At the Market Offering agreement (the “ATM”) with an agent (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $20,000,000 in “at the market” offerings through or to the Agent. Sales of the shares of common stock, if any, will be made at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, or as otherwise agreed with the Agent. The Agent will receive a commission from the Company of 3% of the gross proceeds of any shares of common stock sold pursuant to the ATM. During the period from July 3, 2024, through August 9, 2024, the Company issued a total of 4,953,867 shares of common stock pursuant to the ATM for aggregate proceeds of $1,416,940.

Going Concern and Management's Liquidity Plans | Going Concern and Management’s Liquidity Plans As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $1,016,943 and a working capital deficit of $2,381,478. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $10,899,404 and used cash in operating activities of $9,198,453. The Company’s primary source of liquidity has historically been cash generated from equity and debt offerings along with cash flows from revenue. Under ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”), the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, since the Company’s inception, we have had a history of recurring net losses from operations, recurring use of cash in operating activities and working capital deficits. Future cash requirements for our current liabilities include $4,811,565 for accounts payable and accrued expenses, $784,006 for secured promissory notes (see Note 9 – Notes Payable) and $487,369 for future payments under operating leases. Future cash requirements for long-term liabilities include $1,059,898 for future payments under operating leases and $250,000 for unsecured promissory notes. On December 20, 2023, the Company received a notice of noncompliance from NYSE Regulation (“NYSE”) stating it is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(iii) in the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) since the Company reported stockholders’ equity of $1,200,172 at September 30, 2023, and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years. On February 12, 2024, the Company received a second notice letter from NYSE stating it is not in compliance with Section 1003 (f)(v) of the Company guide since the Company’s securities were trading at an average of less than $0.20 per share for 30 days. On March 5, 2024, the Company received a notification from the NYSE that the Company’s plan to regain compliance with Section 1003 (a)(iii) of the Company Guide was accepted and so long as the Company meets its interim objectives, the Company will have until June 20, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement. On May 1, 2024, the Company received a notification from the NYSE stating that the Company had regained compliance with Section 1003 (f)(v) of the Company Guide, given the increase in the trading price of the Company’s securities. The factors above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due within the twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Management’s plans to mitigate the factors which raise substantial doubt include (i) revenue growth, (ii) reducing operating expenses through careful cost management, and (iii) raising additional funds through future financings. On July 3, 2024, the Company entered into an At the Market Offering agreement (the “ATM”) with an agent (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $20,000,000 in “at the market” offerings through or to the Agent. Sales of the shares of common stock, if any, will be made at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, or as otherwise agreed with the Agent. The Agent will receive a commission from the Company of 3% of the gross proceeds of any shares of common stock sold under the Sales Agreement. During the period from July 3, 2024, through August 9, 2024, the Company issued a total of 4,953,867 shares of common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement for aggregate proceeds of $1,416,940. See Note 12 – Subsequent Events – At the Market Offering for additional information. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully execute the aforementioned initiatives. There is no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its development initiatives or attain profitable operations. The aforementioned factors indicate that management’s plans do not alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. |

Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, together with amounts disclosed in the related notes to the financial statements. The Company’s significant estimates used in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, fair value calculations for intangible assets, equity securities, stock-based compensation and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consisted primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company’s concentrations of credit risk also include concentrations from key customers and vendors. Cash Concentrations A significant portion of the Company’s cash is held at one major financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Cash held in US bank institutions is currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 at each institution. There were uninsured balances of $516,943 and $694,764 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Customer and Revenue Concentrations The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue, or whose accounts receivable balances individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable, as follows:
There is no assurance the Company will continue to receive significant revenue from any of these customers. Any reduction or delay in operating activity from any of the Company’s significant customers, or a delay or default in payment by any significant customer, or termination of agreements with significant customers, could materially harm the Company’s business and prospects. As a result of the Company’s significant customer concentrations, its gross profit and results from operations could fluctuate significantly due to changes in political, environmental, or economic conditions, or the loss of, reduction of business from, or less favorable terms with any of the Company’s significant customers. Vendor Concentrations The Company had vendors whose purchases of inventory individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total purchases of inventory, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as follows:
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are carried at their contractual amounts, less an estimate for credit losses. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no allowances for credit losses were determined to be necessary. Management estimates the allowance for credit losses based on existing economic conditions, the financial conditions of the customers, and the amount and age of past due accounts. Receivables are considered past due if full payment is not received by the contractual due date. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for credit losses only after all collection attempts have been exhausted. |

Inventory | Inventory The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with products when future commercialization is considered probable, and a future economic benefit is expected to be realized. These costs consist of finished goods, raw materials, manufacturing-related costs, transportation and freight, and other indirect overhead costs. Inventory is comprised of carbon fiber velvet (“CFV”) thermal interface solutions and internal short circuit batteries, which are available for sale, as well as raw materials and work in process related primarily to the manufacture of safe cases. Safe cases provide a safe and cost-effective solution to commercially store and transport lithium batteries and mitigate the impacts of cell-to-cell thermal runway propagation. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The cost of inventory that is sold to third parties is included within cost of revenue and the cost of inventory that is given as samples is included within operating expenses. The Company periodically reviews for slow-moving, excess or obsolete inventories. Products that are determined to be obsolete, if any, are written down to net realizable value. On occasion, the Company pays for inventory prior to receiving the goods. These payments are recorded as inventory deposits until the goods are received and these costs are included in the current asset section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, inventory deposits were $10,883 and $27,500, respectively. Finished goods inventory is held on-site at the San Diego, California and Webster, Texas locations. Certain raw materials are held off-site with certain contract manufacturers. Inventory at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was comprised of the following:

Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
The Company recognizes revenue primarily from the following different types of contracts:
Contract services revenue that is recognized over time, may be recognized using the input method, based on labor hours expended, or using the output method based on milestones achieved, depending on the contract. The following table summarizes the Company’s revenue recognized by type of contract in its condensed consolidated statements of operations:

Net Loss Per Common Share | Net Loss Per Common Share Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common-equivalent shares outstanding during each period. The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share:

For leases in effect upon adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” at January 1, 2020, and for any leases commencing thereafter, the Company recognizes a liability to make lease payments, the “lease liability”, and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term, the “right-of-use asset”. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The right-of-use asset is measured at the amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease incentives received, any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent if the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term, any unamortized initial direct costs, and any impairment of the right-of-use-asset. Operating lease expense consists of a single lease cost calculated so that the remaining cost of the lease is allocated over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis, variable lease payments not included in the lease liability, and any impairment of the right-of-use asset. The Company elected the accounting policy to include both the lease and non-lease components of the agreements as a single component and account for them as a lease. |

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” These amendments require a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Public entities with a single reporting segment are required to provide both the new disclosures and all of the existing disclosures required under ASC 280. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating any new disclosures that may be required upon adoption of ASU 2023-07. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This update also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023 – 09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating any new disclosures that may be required upon adoption of ASU 2023–09. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The guidance is effective for the Company in financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but only at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2024, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. |
