The Company’s significant estimates used in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation, the collectability of receivables, inventory valuations, the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets 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 reasonably 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, accounts receivable, revenue and accounts payable.

Cash Concentrations

A significant portion of the Company’s cash is held at one major financial institution. The Company maintains cash with major financial institutions.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.

Inventory

 

Inventory is comprised of CFVcarbon fiber velvet (“CFV”) thermal managementinterface solutions and heatsinks,internal short circuit batteries, which are available for sale. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost andor net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. InventoryThe cost of inventory that is sold to third parties is included within cost of sales 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. As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016,2020, the Company’s inventory was comprised solely of finished goods.

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivative financial instruments to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 815. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record embedded conversion options and any related freestanding instruments at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. Embedded conversion options and any related freestanding instruments are recorded as a discount to the host instrument.

6

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash, accounts receivable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the Company’s short–term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue whenin 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 realized or realizablepossible more judgment and earned. The Company considersestimates may be required within the revenue realized or realizablerecognition process, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and earned when all ofallocating the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the services have been renderedtransaction price to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. Sales are recognized upon shipment to the customer, free on board shipping point, or the point of customer acceptance.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.

·Contract services – Revenue is recognized at the point in time that the Company satisfies its performance obligation under the contract, which is generally at the time the services are fulfilled and/or accepted by the customer.

The following table summarizes the Company’s revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

  For the Three Months Ended

Product sales $178,249  $28,000

Total revenue $417,905  $77,500 

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $20,000 and $20,000 of deferred revenue, respectively, from contracts with customers. The contract liabilities represent payments received from customers for which the Company had not yet satisfied its performance obligation under the contract., or the customers have not officially accepted the goods or services provided under the contract. During the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and 2016,2020, there was no revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 2020, the Company recognized $15,106recorded $63,612 and $0$31,212, respectively, of revenue relateddeferred labor costs, which is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

For employees, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. The fair value of the Company’s restricted equity instruments was estimated by management based on observations of the cash sales prices of both restricted shares and freely tradable shares. Awards granted to directors are treated on the same basis as awards granted to employees. Upon the exercise of an option or warrant, the Company issues new shares of common stock out of its authorized shares.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. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, 596,241 and 1,720,637 weighted average shares of unvested common stock, respectively, were excluded from weighted average common stock outstanding. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, 782,051 and 4,975,441 weighted average shares of unvested common stock, respectively, were excluded from weighted average common stock outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common and dilutive common-equivalent shares plus the net impactoutstanding during each period. Dilutive common-equivalent shares consist of common shares (computed using the treasuryof non-vested restricted stock, method), if dilutive, resulting from the conversion of preferred stock.

These reclassifications had no effect on the basis of the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts (“temporary differences”) at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

The Company utilizes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date.

Stock Options

On January 1, 2020, the Company granted five-year options to purchase a total of 10,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.66 per share to an employee pursuant to the 2018 Plan. One-fourth of the options will vest on the first-year anniversary of the grant date and the remaining options vest monthly over three years. The options had an aggregate grant date value of $3,609 which is recognized over the vesting period.

On March 12, 2021, in connection with the hire of its Senior Director of Product Development, the Company granted a five-year option to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock to its Senior Director of Product Development. pursuant to the 2018 Plan.

The options had an aggregate grant date value of $57,819 which is recognized over the vesting period.

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 assumptions:

  For the Three Months Ended 
  March 31, 
  2021  2020 
Risk free interest rate  0.85%  1.58%
Expected term (years)  2.50   2.50 
Expected volatility  93.00%  93.00%
Expected dividends  0.00%  0.00%

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 “plain vanilla” employee option grants. The Company does not yet have a trading history to support its historical volatility calculations. Accordingly, the Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatility of comparable entities over a period of time equivalent to the expected life 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.

The weighted average grant date fair value per share of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0.58 and $0.36, respectively.

In March 2021, KULR issued an aggregate of 698,600 shares of our common stock upon conversion of 13,972 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock, after which there remained no further Series B Preferred Stock outstanding.

Securities Purchase Agreement

On May 19, 2021, the Company entered into a SPA with an investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to the investor an aggregate of 650 shares of Series D Preferred pursuant to a new designation of preferred stock, and one-year warrants to purchase 2,600,000 shares of common stock at a price of $2.50 per share, exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with KULR Technology Corporation,for aggregate gross proceeds of $6,500,000. The Company will also pay the investor a Delaware Corporation (“KULR”), and 100%commitment fee of the shareholders1,300,000 shares of KULR (the “KULR Shareholders”). Uponcommon stock at the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, KULR becameOffering. The Series D Preferred will have a wholly owned subsidiaryfixed conversion price of the Company. The acquisition$2.05, will be convertible into an aggregate of KULR is treated as a reverse acquisition, and the business of KULR was integrated into the Company (the transaction, the “Reverse Acquisition”).

KULR was formed in 2013 and is based in Santa Clara, California. Since its inception, KULR primarily focused on developing and commercializing its thermal management technologies, which it acquired through assignment from and license with KULR’s co-founder Dr. Timothy Knowles, in the high value, high-performance consumer electronic and energy storage applications. Prior to 2013, the Company’s technologies were used in numerous advanced space and industrial applications for NASA, Boeing, and Raytheon. A few notable achievements were the use of KULR’s technologies in: the Mars Lander/Rover (battery heat sink), X-31 Battery Heat Sink, Mercury Messenger (battery heat sink), and X-51 Scramjet (heat exchanger).

10

Prior to the Reverse Acquisition, the Company was an early-stage company planning to market and distribute technology products and components targeting the energy and consumer electronics industries. The Company intended to market and sell the products to both the end user and supply chain markets and to seek partnerships in developing and distributing such products.

After the Reverse Acquisition, the Company integrated its existing business operations with those of its subsidiary, KULR. KULR owns proprietary carbon fiber based (Carbon Fiber Velvet or “CFV”) thermal management solutions that it believes are more effective at conducting, dissipating and storing heat generated by an electronic system’s internal components (i.e. semiconductor, integrated circuits “chips”) in comparison to traditional materials, such as copper and aluminum. KULR’s technologies can be applied inside a wide array of electronic applications, such as mobile devices, cloud computing, virtual reality platforms, satellites, internet of things, drones, and connected cars.

Thermal Management Solutions

 

Three key vectors have driven advancements in semiconductors and electronics systems – performance, power, and size. These vectors, however, often counteract one another. As chip performance increases, power consumption increases and more heat is generated as a byproduct. When chip size reduces, there is an increased potential for a hot spot on the chip, which can degrade system performance. Electronic system components must operate within a specific temperature range on both the high and low end to operate properly. KULR resolves many of the tradeoffs associated with other thermal management materials. KULR’s products improve heat storage and dissipation, rigidity problems and durability. Its products are lightweight and reduce manufacturing complexity associated with traditional thermal management materials.

In addition to thermal management of electronic systems, KULR has developed, in partnership with NASA JSC, a highly effective, lightweight and passive thermal protection technology. Thermal Runaway Shield (TRS) for lithium ion batteries. KULR’s lithium ion battery (Li-B) TRS product prevents a potentially dangerous combustible condition known as thermal runaway from occurring in neighboring Li-B cells by acting as a shield or barrier in between individual Li-B cells in a battery pack. Although rare, incidents of thermal runaway occurring spontaneously in Li-B cargo shipments and inside electronics, including smartphones, hover boards and electric vehicles, are a cause of public concern.

Recent Developments

On June 6, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Series A Voting Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Designation”). Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the Company designated 1,000,0003,170,732 shares of preferred “A”common stock $0.0001 par value per share (individually or collectively the “Preferred A Stock”). The Preferred A Stock are not convertible into any series or class of stock of the Company. In addition, holders of the Preferred A Stock are not entitled to receive dividends, nor do they have rights to distribution from the assets of the Company in the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company. Each record holder of Preferred A Stockand will have the right to vote on any matter with holdersan as-converted basis. The closing of the Company’sOffering occurred on May 20, 2021. In connection with the closing of the financing, the Company repaid in full its aggregate notes payable obligation of $1,540,000.

During 2020 and continuing into 2021, the global economy has been, and continues to be, affected by COVID-19. While the Company continues to see signs of economic recovery as certain governments began to gradually ease restrictions, provide economic stimulus and vaccine distribution accelerated, the rate of recovery on a global basis has been affected by resurgence of the virus or its variants in certain jurisdictions.

We have not yet achieved profitability and expect to continue to incur cash outflows from operations. It is expected that our research and development and general and administrative expenses will continue to increase and, as a result, we will eventually need to generate significant revenues and/or raise additional capital to fund our operations. Although our management believes that we have access to capital resources through various sources, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. While we believe that we havewill continue to incur operating losses and use cash in operating activities for the foreseeable future, we believe that our current working capital is sufficient in comparison to our anticipated cash to sustain our operationsusage for a period of at least a year from the next twelve months subsequent to the filing date of this filing.these condensed consolidated financial statements.
