NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.	NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Beam is a clean technology innovator based in San Diego, California; Broadview, Illinois and Kraljevo, Serbia. We develop, design, engineer, manufacture and sell high-quality, renewably energized infrastructure products for electric vehicle (“EV”) charging, outdoor media and branding, and energy security and disaster preparedness as well as safe and compact, highly energy-dense battery solutions. Beam’s products enable vital and highly valuable energy production in locations where it is either too expensive or too impactful to connect to the utility grid, or where the requirements for electrical power are so important that grid failures, like blackouts, are intolerable. Beam’s energy storage products provide high energy density in a safe, compact and bespoke form-factors ideal for the rapidly increasing numbers of mobile and stationary equipment and products which require electrical energy without being connected to the electrical grid.

Beam’s products and proprietary technology solutions target four markets that are experiencing significant growth with annual global spending in the billions of dollars:

	·	electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure;

	·	energy storage solutions;

	·	energy security and disaster preparedness; and

	·	outdoor media advertising.

Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and are in the form prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission in instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to present fairly our results of operations and cash flows for the three months ending March 31, 2024 and 2023, and our financial position as of March 31, 2024, have been made. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023. The December 31, 2023 balance sheet is derived from those statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include the allowance for credit losses (CECL), valuation of inventory and standard cost allocations, depreciable lives of property and equipment, valuation of contingent consideration liability, valuation of intangible assets, estimates of loss contingencies, estimates of the valuation of lease liabilities and the related right of use assets, valuation of share-based costs, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements” (“ASU 2023-06”), which amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”). The ASU was issued in response to the SEC’s disclosure update and simplification initiative issued in August 2018. The effective date for the amendments for each topic will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoptions prohibited.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a company’s effective tax rate reconciliation and information on income taxes paid. This standard is effective for Beam beginning with our annual financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Concentrations

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable.

The Company maintains its cash in banks and financial institutions that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts from inception through March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, approximately $4.8 million of the Company’s cash deposits were greater than the federally insured limits.

Major Customers

The Company continually assesses the financial strength of its customers. We are not aware of any material credit risks associated with our customers. 84% of our first quarter revenues were derived from pre-funded federal, state and local government programs, and the remaining 16% were derived from commercial customers that we believe have good credit or, alternatively, favorable payment terms which minimizes our credit risk with respect to such customers. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, two customers accounted for 30% and 18% of total revenues, with no other single customer accounting for more than 10% of total revenues. At March 31, 2024, accounts receivable from three customers accounted for 22%, 18% and 14% of total accounts receivable with no other single customer accounting for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance. At December 31, 2023, accounts receivable from four customers accounted for 11%, 10%, 10% and 10% of total accounts receivable each with no other single customer accounting for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s sales to federal, state and local governments represented 84% and 86% of revenues, respectively.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company follows the authoritative guidance that establishes a formal framework for measuring fair values of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements that are already required by generally accepted accounting principles to be measured at fair value. The guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The transaction is based on a hypothetical transaction in the principal or most advantageous market considered from the perspective of the market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability.

The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants who are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. The Company attempts to utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The Company is able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The guidance establishes a formal fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 measurements and the lowest priority to level 3 measurements, and accordingly, Level 1 measurement should be used whenever possible.

The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities or published net asset value for alternative investments with characteristics similar to a mutual fund.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The methods used may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while management believes its valuation methods are appropriate, the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a difference fair value measurement at the reporting date. There were no changes in the Company’s valuation methodologies from the prior year.

For purpose of this disclosure, the carrying amounts for financial assets and liabilities such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable – trade, other prepaid expenses and current assets, accounts payable and other current liabilities, all approximate fair value due to their short-term nature as of March 31, 2024. The Company had Level 3 liabilities as of March 31, 2024. There were no transfers between levels during the reporting period.

Significant Accounting Policies

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no changes to our significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted net loss per share of common stock is computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period, and, if dilutive, potential common stock outstanding during the period. Potential common stock outstanding consists of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options, stock warrants, or other common stock equivalents. Potentially common stock outstanding are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Options to purchase 592,658 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 570,718 shares of common stock were outstanding at March 31, 2024. Options to purchase 346,758 common shares and warrants to purchase 624,306 shares of common stock were outstanding at March 31, 2023. These options and warrants were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 because the effects would have been anti-dilutive. These options and warrants may dilute future earnings per share.

Segments

The Company assesses its segment reporting based on how it internally manages and reports the results of its business to its chief operating decision maker. Management reviews financial results, manages the business and allocates resources on an aggregate basis. Therefore, financial results are reported in a single operating segment.

2.	LIQUIDITY

The Company had net losses of $3.0 million (which includes $1.1 million of non-cash expenses) and $3.8 million (which includes $0.9 million of non-cash expenses) and net cash used in operating activities of $3.0 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. At March 31, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of $5.0 million and working capital of $17.8 million. Based on the Company’s current operating plan and the available working capital that can be converted to cash, particularly the accounts receivable balance of approximately $20.1 million the Company believes that it has the ability to fund its operations and meet contractual obligations for at least twelve months from the date of this report.

In 2022, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC (“B. Riley”) under which the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell up to $30.0 million worth of shares, but in any event, no more than 2.0 million shares of its common stock over a period of 24 months in its sole discretion (see note 11 for further information). The Company has issued 199,469 shares for $2.5 million since 2022 under this agreement. There is $27.5 million worth of shares of common stock remaining under this facility available to sell through Q4 2024.

The Company’s outstanding warrants generated $0.3 million and $0.1 million of proceeds during each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Warrants to purchase 370,718 shares of common stock which were issued in our 2019 public offering expired on April 18, 2024. Excluding the warrants issued in our 2019 public offering which recently expired, the Company has a warrant outstanding to purchase up to 200,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $17.00 per share that expires in March 2028 that could potentially generate an additional $3.4 million of proceeds, conditioned upon the market price of our common stock and the warrant holder’s ability and decision to exercise them.

In March 2023, the Company entered into a supply chain line of credit agreement with OCI Group for up to $100 million to further support our working capital requirements. Subject to the terms of the agreement, OCI Group will make available to the Company funding based on amounts owed to the Company by its customers.

The Company believes that it will become profitable in the next few years as our revenues continue to grow, we improve our gross margins and we leverage our overhead costs, but we expect to continue to incur losses for a period of time. If necessary, the Company may raise additional capital to finance its future operations through equity or debt financings. There is no guarantee that profitable operations will be achieved, or that additional capital or debt financing will be available on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at all, and such funding, if raised, may not be sufficient to meet our obligations or enable us to continue to implement our long-term business strategy. In addition, obtaining additional funding or entering into other strategic transactions could result in significant dilution to our stockholders.

3.	BUSINESS COMBINATION

Amiga DOO Kraljevo

On October 20, 2023, the Company acquired Amiga DOO Kraljevo (“Amiga”), pursuant to a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement dated October 6, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company and the owners of Amiga (the “Sellers”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired all the equity stock of Amiga from the Sellers in exchange for cash and common stock. With respect to the cash portion of the purchase price, the Company paid to the Sellers 4.6 million euros ($4.9 million) at closing and an additional 2.5 million euros ($2.7 million) was deferred on December 31, 2023, and paid on January 2, 2024. With respect to the equity portion of the purchase price, the Company issued to the Sellers 293,675 shares of our common stock upon closing and an additional 158,132 shares before December 31, 2023.

The Sellers are eligible to earn additional shares of the Company’s common stock if Amiga meets certain revenue milestones for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025 (the “Earnout Consideration”). The Earnout Consideration that Sellers are eligible to receive is equal to two times the amount of revenue of Amiga (“Amiga Net Revenue”) that is greater than specific revenue targets for each of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025. The Earnout Consideration will be paid in the Company’s stock for each annual target period and will be calculated based on the volume weighted average price of Beam’s common stock for the thirty trading days prior to the end of the applicable measurement period. In no event and under no circumstances will the Company issue to the Sellers an amount of the Company’s common stock that exceeds 19.99% of the total outstanding common stock of the Company immediately prior to the closing. An estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration has been recorded in the opening balance sheet. Additionally, if within five years of the closing date of the acquisition Amiga receives a final award in specific legal proceedings in excess of EUR 3.8 million, the amount exceeding EUR 3.8 million is payable to the Sellers. This is not currently considered probable and therefore no accrual has been established. On February 16, 2024, the Company and the Sellers entered into an amendment to the Purchase Agreement to remove the requirement that the Sellers shall be providing services to Amiga as a condition to receive the Earnout Consideration. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded $0.1 million of income related to the fair value adjustment of the liability for Earnout Consideration.

Amiga, located in Serbia, is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of steel structures with integrated electronics, such as streetlights, cell towers, and ski lift towers. We expect the acquisition of Amiga to assist in introducing our products to Europe, increasing and diversifying our revenues, enhancing our manufacturing and engineering capabilities, accelerating the development of EV Standard™ and other products both in Europe and the US, adding new customer segments in both Europe and the US, increasing barriers to entry for future competition, and advancing Beam’s position as a leader in the green economy.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations. Goodwill represents the premium the Company paid over net fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired.

On November 7, 2023, Amiga changed its name to Beam Europe LLC.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Committed Equity Facility

On September 2, 2022, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with B. Riley. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to sell to B. Riley up to $30.0 million, but in any event, a maximum of 2.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock at 97% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock, as calculated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, over a period of 24 months subject to certain limitations and conditions contained in the Purchase Agreement. Sales and timing of any sales are solely at the election of the Company, and the Company is under no obligation to sell any common stock to B. Riley under the Purchase Agreement. As consideration for B. Riley’s commitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock the Company issued B. Riley 10,484 shares of its common stock in both September 2022 and April 2023.

The Company incurred an aggregate cost of approximately $0.5 million in connection with the Purchase Agreement, including the fair value of the shares of common stock issued to B. Riley, which were recorded as equity on the Balance Sheet and offset proceeds from the sale of the Company’s common stock under the Purchase Agreement.

The Company has issued 199,469 shares under the Purchase Agreement for $2.5 million in proceeds, of which $0.5 million was offset by the offering costs as of March 31, 2024.

The Company’s stock option compensation expense was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. There was $1.6 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to outstanding stock options at March 31, 2024 which will be recognized over 3.0 years. Total intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable were $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2024. The number of shares of common stock underlying stock options vested and unvested as of March 31, 2024 were 351,788 and 240,870, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

In November 2022, the Company granted 142,500 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and up to 142,500 performance stock units (“PSU”) to its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). For the RSUs, 50% vested upon the grant date, 25% vested on February 1, 2024 and 25% will vest on February 1, 2025. The number of shares that will be earned under the PSUs will be determined based on the achievement of specific performance metrics during the three-years ending December 31, 2024.

There was no activity during the three months ended March 31, 2024. 142,500 PSUs and 71,250 RSUs remain outstanding as of March 31, 2024, with weighted-average grant-date fair values of $13.05 each.

Stock compensation expense related to the RSUs and PSUs was $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, with $1.1 million in unrecognized stock compensation expense remaining to be recognized over 1.0 years as of March 31, 2024.

Restricted Stock Awards

The Company issues restricted stock to the members of its board of directors as compensation for such members’ services. Such grants generally vest ratably over four quarters. The Company also previously issued restricted stock awards to its CEO, for which generally 50% of the shares granted vest ratably over four quarters and the remaining 50% vest ratably over twelve quarters. The common stock related to these awards are issued to an escrow account on the date of grant and released to the grantee upon vesting. The fair value is determined based on the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the date granted and the related expense is recognized ratably over the vesting period.

A summary of activity of the restricted stock awards for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is as follows:

Schedule of restricted stock awards
Nonvested at December 31, 2023	1,238		$	20.17

In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Because factors referred to elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (sometimes referred to as the “2023 Form 10-K”) that we previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation the “Risk Factors” section in the 2023 Form 10-K, could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and except as may be required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to release publicly the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements or to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of this report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

Beam Global develops, manufactures, and sells high-quality, renewably energized infrastructure products for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, energy storage, energy security, disaster preparedness and outdoor media.

The Company has five product lines that incorporate our proprietary technology for producing a unique alternative to grid-tied charging, having a built-in renewable energy source in the form of attached solar panels and/or light wind generator to produce power and battery storage to store the power. These products are rapidly deployable and attractively designed and include:

EV ARC™ Electric Vehicle Autonomous Renewable Charger – a patented, rapidly deployed, infrastructure product that uses integrated solar power and battery storage to provide a mounting asset and a source of power for factory installed electric vehicle charging stations of any brand. The electronics are elevated to the underside of the sun-tracking solar array making the unit flood-proof up to nine and a half feet and allowing adequate space to park a vehicle on the engineered ballast and traction pad which gives the product stability and a certified wind rating of 160 miles per hour.

Solar Tree® DCFC – Patented off-grid, renewably energized and rapidly deployed, single-column mounted smart generation and energy storage system with the capability to provide a 150kW DC fast charge to one or more electric vehicles or larger vehicles.

EV ARC™ DCFC – DC Fast Charging system for charging EVs comprised of four interconnected EV ARC™ systems and a 50kW DC fast charger.

EV-Standard™ – patent issued on December 31, 2019 and currently under development. A lamp standard, EV charging and emergency power product which uses an existing streetlamp’s foundation and a combination of solar, wind, grid connection and onboard energy storage to provide curbside charging.

UAV ARC™ - patent issued on November 24, 2020 and currently under development. An off-grid, renewably energized and rapidly deployed product and network used to charge aerial drone (UAV) fleets.

We believe that there is a clear need for a rapidly deployable and highly scalable EV charging infrastructure, and that our products fulfill that requirement. Unlike grid-tied installations which require general and electrical contractors, engineers, consultants, digging trenches, permitting, pouring concrete, wiring, and ongoing utility bills, the EV ARC™ system can be deployed in minutes, not months, and is powered by renewable energy so there is no utility bill. We are agnostic as to the EV charging service equipment or provider and integrate best of breed solutions based upon our customer’s requirements. For example, our EV ARC™ and Solar Tree® products have been deployed with Chargepoint, Blink, Enel X, Electrify America and other high quality EV charging solutions. We can make recommendations to customers, or we can comply with their specifications and/or existing charger networks. Our products replace the infrastructure required to support EV chargers, not the chargers themselves. We do not sell EV charging, rather we sell products which enable it.

We believe our chief differentiators for our electric vehicle charging infrastructure products are:

	·	our patented, renewable energy products dramatically reduce the cost, time and complexity of the installation and operation of EV charging infrastructure and outdoor media platforms when compared to traditional, utility grid tied alternatives;

	·	our proprietary and patented energy storage solutions;

	·	our first-to-market advantage with EV charging infrastructure products which are renewably energized, rapidly deployed and require no construction or electrical work on site;

	·	our products’ capability to operate during grid outages and to provide a source of EV charging and emergency power rather than becoming inoperable during times of emergency or other grid interruptions; and

	·	our ability to continuously create new and patentable marketable inventions by integrating our proprietary technology and parts, and other commonly available engineered components, which create a further barrier to entry for our competition;

	·	our international operations in two of the three largest automotive markets in the world today.

With the acquisition of All Cell Technologies, LLC (“All Cell”) in March 2022, we now offer Beam AllCell™ energy storage technology with a highly flexible lithium-ion and/or lithium iron phosphate battery platform architecture. The battery design uses a proprietary phase change material which provides a low-cost thermal management solution and a unique safety mechanism to prevent propagation of thermal runaway. Our batteries are ideally suited for applications where energy density, safety and specialized enclosures require high power in small spaces. Drones, submersibles, medical and recreational products and a host of micro mobility products benefit from this technology. Beam is already using AllCell™ energy storage products in EV ARC™ products for EV charging and plans to incorporate this battery technology in our new product designs that are under development.

On October 20, 2023, Beam acquired Amiga DOO Kraljevo (“Amiga”), a business located in Serbia and engaged in the manufacture and distribution of steel structures with electronic integration, including (i) infrastructure products for public lighting; (ii) infrastructure products for mobile telephone, networks and transmission lines; (iii) infrastructure products for tram, trolleybus, and railways; (iv) infrastructure products for contact networks, masts, portals and semi-portals for road and railway signaling; (v) large steel lattice structures for specific purposes (e.g., stadiums, factories, power plants, etc.); and (vi) distribution and command electrical cabinets. Amiga has engineering, product development and manufacturing capabilities which we believe are well suited to manufacture and sell Beam’s current and future products in the European market. As a large European manufacturer of streetlights, we believe Amiga is well positioned to assist in the development of the EV-Standard^™ for both the European and US markets.

Overall Business Outlook

Our revenues for the first three months of 2024 were $14.6 million, a 12% increase over $13.0 million for the same quarter in 2023, primarily derived from delivery of EV ARC™ systems to federal, state and local governments. We have invested in sales and marketing resources over the past three plus years which has created increased demand for our EV ARC™ renewable chargers. For the period, we reported revenues of $1.4 million as a result of our acquisition of Amiga in October 2023. The Company believes there continues to be a high level of support for funding EV charging infrastructure from both government and commercial entities, including a number of federal grants available under the Inflation Reduction Act. In addition, certain of our commercial customers may benefit from the Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit and accelerated depreciation as allowed under Section 179 of IRS code which, we believe, provide a competitive advantage for our products over traditionally installed EV charging infrastructure which is not eligible for these incentives. Given these available incentives, we have invested in a federal lobbyist, a federal business development resource and a government relations employee, who have helped to identify opportunities on the federal side and have increased awareness of our product and outreach with federal agencies. In addition, the General Services Administration (GSA) awarded Beam Global a federal blanket purchase agreement in April 2022 which provides federal agencies a streamlined procurement process for procuring EV ARC™ systems. In the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded revenues of $12.2 million for federal customers, compared to $11.2 million for the same period in 2023. We expect to see uneven orders from quarter to quarter, especially with our federal customers, but over time we expect our revenues to grow.

We expect the electric vehicle market to continue to experience significant growth over the next decade which will in turn cause a requirement for additional EV charging infrastructure. We believe our products are positioned to benefit significantly from this growth.

We believe the Company’s acquisition of the assets of All Cell, a battery technology company, will increase our new customer opportunities. As a result of the acquisition of All Cell, we believe Beam’s gross margin will continue to improve as a result of our storage technology solutions engineered by our team of engineers and scientists in Illinois. We now also have the ability to value engineer bespoke battery solutions for our products. Beam All-Cell^™ batteries are ideally suited for applications where energy density, safety and bespoke enclosures require high power in small spaces. Drones, submersibles, recreational products and a host of micro mobility and electric vehicle products are already benefiting from our Beam All-Cell^™ highly differentiated products. With the continued growth of untethered electrification, we believe there is opportunity for increased demand in these markets and others.

In October 2023, the Company acquired Amiga, an established manufacturer of specialized steel structures and equipment, producing street lights, communications and energy infrastructure whose manufacturing, engineering and sales teams service municipalities, states and commercial customers in 16 nations. The Company believes that the addition of Amiga will expand Beam’s presence into the European market and increase its production, engineering, sales and product development expertise. The EU has mandated a transition to zero emission vehicles by 2035 and they are heavily focused on green and sustainable energy. An increase in electric vehicles adoptions will increase the demand for charging infrastructure. We believe that our sustainably energized EV ARC^TMand EV Standard™ products can play a major role in the provision of EV charging infrastructure in Europe. Amiga is already producing components for EV ARC™ systems in our factory in Kraljevo at the time of this filing.

Our energy security business is connected with the deployment of our EV charging infrastructure products and serves as an additional benefit and value proposition for our charging products which, along with their integrated emergency power panels, can continue to operate, charge EVs, and deliver emergency power during utility grid failures. The state-of-the-art storage batteries installed on our EV charging systems are immune to grid failures and provide another benefit for customers such as municipalities, counties, states, the federal government, hospitals, fire departments, large private enterprises with substantial facilities, and vehicle fleet operators.

We are in development on our newest patented products - our EV Standard™ and UAV ARC™, which we expect will expand our product offerings leveraging the same proprietary technology as our current products and allow us to expand into new markets. Amiga is one of Europe’s largest manufacturers of streetlights and has a team of qualified structural, electrical and civil engineers who are experts in the field of development and deployment of street lighting. They are working with our engineers in San Diego and Chicago to finalize the engineering and product development on our new EV Standard™ product. We believe that EV Standard™ may become our largest selling product when available for sale.

Our gross profit improved as a percentage of sales reporting a positive 10.2% gross margin in Q1 2024, up 10.1% from the gross profit reported in Q1 2023. Additionally, our cost of goods sold included non-cash intellectual property amortization of $0.2 million for the first three months of both 2024 and 2023, related to the acquisition of All Cell in 2022. Excluding this non-cash expense results in a gross profit of 11.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. We implemented engineering design changes to our EV ARC^TM in Q4 2023 that resulted in cost reductions to our bill of materials. Our gross profit improvements were achieved in spite of ongoing inflation and the high costs of many of our components, including steel, that began during the Covid pandemic. We expect to see these costs continue to decrease over time. We are implementing lean manufacturing process improvements and making engineering changes to our product where we expect to benefit from cost reductions. Many of the components that we integrate into our products are manufactured by others. This is consistent with our strategy to take advantage of the investment by large and well-funded organizations in the improvement of various components and sub-assemblies which we integrate into our final product. We continue to identify components and sub-assemblies that may be more cost effective to outsource, which we believe may further reduce our costs, increase our gross margins, and significantly increase the potential output from our factory. There is no guarantee that our growth will continue at this same pace and we expect that the receipt of orders may be inconsistent quarter over quarter. We expect that in the long-term, our revenues will continue to grow as we expect to see a significant increase in the demand for electric vehicle charging infrastructure and as such we do not anticipate significant pricing pressure on our products. The combination of this increase in demand for electric vehicle charging infrastructure and our revenues, and the cost cutting measures described above lead us to believe that we will continue to see improvement in our gross margins during the year. Amiga has capabilities to perform several activities which we outsource in the US. We believe that in combination with a generally less expensive operating environment in Serbia, we will be able to produce our products in Europe less expensively than in the US, even as we continue to reduce our costs in the US.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no material changes in these policies or their application.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, valuation of inventory and standard cost allocations, depreciable lives of property and equipment, valuation of intangible assets, valuation of contingent consideration liability, estimates of loss contingencies, estimates of the valuation of lease liabilities and the related right of use assets, valuation of share-based costs, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Changes in Accounting Principles. There were no significant changes in accounting principles that were adopted during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

Revenues. For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, our revenues increased 12% to $14.6 million compared to $13.0 million for the same period in 2023. Revenues to federal customers increased by $1.0 million in Q1 2024 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023. We also recorded revenues of $1.4 million as a result of our acquisition of Amiga in 2023. We continue to invest in sales and marketing employees, resources and programs to raise awareness of the benefits and value of our products, which is reflected in the strong year over year sales growth in the quarter. The receipt of orders may continue to be uneven due to the timing of customer approvals or budget cycles, however we believe that as EV adoption increases in concert with increased availability of infrastructure funding, our business will be less impacted by specific variations in order timing.

Gross Profit. For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, our gross profit was $1.5 million, or 10.2% of sales, compared to a gross profit of .04% of sales for the same period in 2023. As a percentage of sales, the margin improved by 10.1%, primarily because of cost reductions implemented in late 2023 as a result of design changes to the EV ARC^TM as well as an increase in production levels in the current quarter compared to the prior year, which resulted in favorable fixed overhead absorption. Our gross profits included $0.2 million for non-cash intangible amortization. We began to see some improvements in the reduction of material costs in late 2023, which we believe should continue to improve. In addition, as our revenues continue to increase in 2024 and beyond, we expect our fixed overhead absorption to continue to improve. Our engineering and operations teams continue to identify further cost reductions and efficiencies which we believe will improve our gross margins in future quarters.

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses were $4.5 million, or 31% of revenues, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $3.8 million, or 30% of revenues, for the same quarter in the prior year. The $0.7 million increase is mostly attributable to a $0.4 million increase in consultant costs related to the integration of our new ERP Accounting software, Sales and Marketing, Government Relations and engineering design support, $0.3 million for operating expenses pertaining to our new Amiga operations, partially offset by $0.1 million reduction for favorable change in the present value factor of our contingent consideration related to the earnout for the Amiga acquisition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2024, we had cash of $5.0 million, compared to cash of $10.4 million at December 31, 2023. We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of debt and equity financing. Our cash requirements are generally for operating activities.

Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the statements of cash flows, are summarized in the table below:

	March 31,
	2024			2023
Cash provided by (used in):
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(3,026	)	$	(619	)
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(2,817	)	$	(330	)
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	277		$	258

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our cash used in operating activities was $3.0 million compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net loss of $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was adjusted by $1.1 million of non-cash expense items that included depreciation and amortization of $0.9 million, employee stock-based compensation expense of $0.6 million, offset by decreases of $0.3 million provision on credit losses and $0.1 million for a change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities. Further, cash used in operations included a $3.9 million increase in accounts receivable due to the increase in revenues and the timing of customer payments. Cash generated from operations included a $1.0 million increase in accounts payable primarily for inventory, $1.1 million increase in accrued expenses, $0.4 million decrease in inventory, $0.3 million increase in deferred revenue and $0.2 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, our cash used in operating activities was $0.6 million. Net loss of $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was increased by $0.9 million of non-cash expense items that included depreciation and amortization of $0.3 million, common stock issued for services for director compensation of $0.1 million and employee stock-based compensation expense of $0.5 million. Further, cash used in operations included a $2.4 million increase in accounts receivable due to the increase in revenues in the quarter, $0.3 million decrease in deferred revenue, and a $0.2 million increase in inventory. Cash used in operations included a $4.2 million increase in accounts payable primarily for inventory, $0.9 million increase in accrued expenses and a $0.4 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2024 included $2.7 million reduction of deferred consideration for a cash payment for the Amiga acquisition and $0.1 million for the purchase of equipment compared to $0.3 million purchased in the same period in the prior year.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, cash generated by our financing activities included $0.3 million for the exercise of warrants compared to $0.2 million in proceeds from the public offering issuance of common stock, net of offering expenses, and $0.1 million from the exercise of warrants for the same period in the prior year.

Current assets were $38.8 million on March 31, 2024, a decrease from $40.7 million at December 31, 2023, primarily due to decreases of $5.4 million in cash, $0.5 million in inventory, $0.2 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets offset by an increase of $4.2 million in accounts receivable. Current liabilities increased to $21.0 million at March 31, 2024 from $16.9 million at December 31, 2023, primarily due to a $1.0 million increase accounts payable and $1.1 million increase in accrued expenses. As a result, our working capital decreased to $17.8 million at March 31, 2024 compared to $23.8 million at December 31, 2023.

The Company has been focused on marketing and sales efforts to increase our revenues. Revenues increased annually by 45% from 2020 to 2021, 144% from 2021 to 2022, and 206% from 2022 to 2023 demonstrating that this investment has been successful. Improvements to gross profitability have been made despite the current inflationary period. As revenues increase, we expect to continue to see our fixed overhead costs spread over more units, which will reduce the cost per unit. Our engineering and operations teams have made several design changes and process improvements in our product development and manufacturing operations which has helped to increase labor efficiency and reduce material costs. In addition, the Company increased pricing in Q3 of 2023 for the first time to cover some of the inflationary cost increases, which we should benefit from as new orders are received and are shipped in future quarters.

On March 22, 2023, the Company entered into that certain Supply Chain Line of Credit with OCI Limited (“OCI”), whereby OCI may provide a supply chain line of credit in the amount of up to $100 million based on the amounts of approved accounts receivable of the Company (the “Credit Facility”). In order to request a drawdown on the Credit Facility, the Company is required to submit a transaction request to OCI which sets forth the terms of the applicable account receivables, including but not limited to the name of the party responsible for the applicable account receivables (the “Obligor”), the terms of repayment and the amount of such receivables. The Company has no obligation to submit a drawdown request and OCI is not obligated to accept any drawdown request from the Company. In the event OCI accepts a drawdown request of the Company and upon satisfaction of certain conditions required by OCI to issue the drawdown, OCI will disburse funds to the Company for such drawdown in an amount equal to the full value of the applicable account receivables assigned to OCI minus any transaction expenses incurred by OCI and the full amount of interest to be incurred for such receivables over the term of the drawdown. The Company will pay interest on any drawdown at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate +300 basis points. Upon the disbursement of funds to the Company for a drawdown, the Company will assign all rights to such account receivables of the Obligor to OCI. The Company will act as collection agent on any account receivables assigned to OCI and agrees to establish a designated bank account for the purpose of collecting payment on any applicable account receivables that are assigned to OCI. In the event (i) the Company is in material breach of the Credit Facility, (ii) the Company or the Obligor is insolvent or is subject to reorganization or liquidation, or (iii) any dispute related to an agreement with an Obligor or non-payment by an Obligor, OCI has the right to exercise any contractual rights it may have against Obligor, increase the interest rate to the agreed upon default interest rate, and demand immediate repayment by the Company for the outstanding amounts owed under such account receivables. The Company has also agreed to indemnify OCI for any losses incurred by OCI in connection with the Credit Facility. Either party may terminate the Credit Facility at any time by providing fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the other party. To date, Beam Global has not drawn on this line of credit.

The Company may be required to raise capital until it achieves positive cash flow from its business, which is predicated on increasing sales volumes and the continuation of production cost reduction measures. In September 2022, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with B. Riley under which the Company has the right to sell up to the lesser of either two million shares or $30 million of our common stock over a period of 24 months (see note 10 for further information.) In addition, we could pursue other equity or debt financing. The rest of which could potentially generate an additional $3.4 million of proceeds over the next 4.0 years, depending on the warrant holders’ ability and decision to exercise them. The proceeds from these offerings are expected to provide working capital to fund business operations and the development of new products. Management cannot currently predict when or if it will achieve positive cash flow. There is no guarantee that profitable operations will be achieved, or that additional capital or debt financing will be available on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at all, and such funding, if raised, may not be sufficient to meet our obligations or enable us to continue to implement our long-term business strategy. In addition, obtaining additional funding or entering into other strategic transactions could result in significant dilution to our stockholders.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources, that are material to investors.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Currency Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These risks include the translation of local currency balances and results of our non-United States subsidiaries into United States dollars, currency gains and losses related to intercompany and third-party transactions denominated in currencies other than a subsidiary's functional currency, and currency gains and losses associated with global intercompany receivable and payable balances. Our principal currency exposures relate to the Serbian Dinar and the Euro. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our net earnings in the first quarter ending March 31, 2024 was not significant.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

During the period covered by this filing, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls over financial reporting. Amiga is a small business and represents less than 10.0% of our 2024 revenues and 10.7% of our 2024 net loss. There was no material change to its internal control over financial reporting due to the acquisition. Based upon our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, identified as of March 31, 2024, we do not have sufficient internal controls over financial reporting and procedures to ensure that all the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports was recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis.

The following material weakness existed as of December 31, 2023:

Material weakness:

The Company has a material weakness that was previously identified, that has not yet been completely remediated. The Company currently does not have sufficient controls in place to ensure that all inventory is appropriately tracked and recorded on a timely basis, given the lack of an automated tracking system and the manual nature of its current processes and controls surrounding inventory. This includes a manual process for completing an allocation of labor and overhead to our products on a timely basis. The Company implemented a NetSuite ERP system in Q4 2023 which we believe will remedy this deficiency. The NetSuite ERP system is continually undergoing additional configuration to effectively remediate the internal control weakness when fully implemented.

During Q4 2023, the Company implemented NetSuite ERP system to automate operations and accounting for the San Diego and Chicago locations. We did not implement program change management and user access controls to ensure that:

	a.	IT program and data changes affecting the Company’s financial IT applications & underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized, and implemented appropriately, and
	b.	Appropriate segregation of duties that would adequately restrict user access and ensure adequate review of transactions.

		Because we are a small company, many employees have multiple job responsibilities, and during the implementation in Q4, access was allowed for employees to access necessary tasks. As we move forward into 2024, we will assign access to ensure the proper segregation of duties. Additionally, we need to ensure the employees are adequately trained and able to resolve issues timely. The Company needs to establish appropriate procedures for change management to ensure changes to the system are formally approved, properly restricted to appropriate personnel, and adequately tested.

	·	In our review, we noted that the Company did not implement adequate controls relating to documentation of the review and approval of reconciliations and other schedules prepared internally to be included or disclosed in the financial statements. Many of our reports and reconciliations are performed in Excel spreadsheets, and we did not adequately validate the segregation of duties between the preparer and the approver with a signature and time stamp. NetSuite has many robust internal control features that can be configured and utilized to ensure workflow approvals are adhered to and integrated into documentation.

Since these controls have a pervasive effect across the inventory transaction cycle, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness, based on the criteria established in the “Internal Integrated Framework” issued by COSO in 2013 and as a result, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company is continuing to actively work to remediate the material weaknesses described above, including the need for additional remediation steps and implementing additional measures to remediate the underlying causes that give rise to the material weaknesses. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company has taken various actions to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting, including:

	·	Reviewing access in NetSuite ERP to ensure the proper segregation of duties and training courses to ensure the employees are adequately trained and able to resolve issues timely.
	·	Implementing stronger processes related to ordering, counting, warehousing, valuing and transacting our inventory in NetSuite ERP.
	·	Increasing the adequacy of staffing levels and expertise with the requisite technical knowledge and skills to support further enhancement on the controls and procedures surrounding documentation of review and formalization of reconciliations, accounting policies and controls.
	·	Implementing a segregation of duties between the preparer and the approver of reconciliation and supporting schedules which included hiring additional staff.

The material weaknesses will be considered remediated when management concludes that, through testing, the applicable remedial controls are designed, implemented and operating effectively. As management continues to evaluate and improve disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, the Company may decide to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify, or in appropriate circumstances not to complete, certain of the remediation measures identified.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company may from time to time become party to actions, claims, suits, investigations or proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business, including actions with respect to intellectual property claims, breach of contract claims, labor and employment claims and other matters. Any litigation could divert management time and attention from the Company, could involve significant amounts of legal fees and other fees and expenses, or could result in an adverse outcome having a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. Actions, claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty. We are not currently involved in any legal proceedings that we believe are, individually or in the aggregate, material to our business, results of operations or financial condition. However, regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of associated cost and diversion of management time.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, liquidity or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity or future results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, no director or officer adopted or terminated any Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement, as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
