CAPSTONE GREEN ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.  Business and Organization

Capstone Green Energy Corporation (“Capstone”, or the “Company”) is a provider of customized microgrid solutions and on-site energy technology systems focused on helping customers around the globe meet their environmental, energy savings, and resiliency goals.  These solutions include stationary distributed power generation applications and distribution networks, including cogeneration (combined heat and power (“CHP”), integrated combined heat and power (“ICHP”), and combined cooling, heat and power (“CCHP”), renewable energy, natural resources, and critical power supply. In April 2021, the Company added additional products to its portfolio and shifted its focus to four key business lines. The Energy Conversion Products business line is driven by the Company’s industry-leading, highly efficient, low-emission, resilient microturbine energy systems offering scalable solutions in addition to a broad range of customer-tailored solutions, including hybrid energy systems and larger frame industrial turbines. Through the Energy as a Service business line, the Company offers rental solutions utilizing its microturbine energy systems and battery storage systems, comprehensive factory protection plan service contracts that guarantee life-cycle costs, as well as aftermarket spare parts. The Company’s two emerging business lines are Energy Storage Products and Hydrogen Energy Solutions. The Energy Storage Products business line is driven by the design and installation of microgrid storage systems creating customized solutions using a combination of battery technologies and monitoring software. Through the Company’s Hydrogen Energy Solutions business line, it offers customers a variety of hydrogen products, including the Company’s microturbine energy systems. Because these are new offerings, Energy Storage Products and Hydrogen Energy Solutions revenue has been immaterial to date.  The Company was organized in 1988 and has been commercially producing its microturbine generators since 1998.

2.  Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“generally accepted accounting principles” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2021 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal year ended March 31, 2021. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year 2021 filed with the SEC on June 14, 2021. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) refers to the Company’s fiscal years ending March 31 as its “Fiscal” years.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s financial statements to enhance comparability with the current year’s financial statements. As a result, certain line items have been amended in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the current year’s presentation. The items were reclassified as follows (in thousands):

	Previously Reported			After Reclassification
	Three Months Ended June 30, 2020			Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
Product, accessories and parts	$	8,936	Product and accessories	$	6,606
Service		5,257	Parts and service		7,587
Total revenue	$	14,193	Total revenue	$	14,193

Significant Accounting Policies  There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal Year 2021 filed with the SEC on June 14, 2021, that have had a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Evaluation of Ability to Maintain Current Level of Operations  In connection with the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2021, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they became due over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of the Company’s first quarter of Fiscal 2022 interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Management assessed that there were such conditions and events, including a history of recurring operating losses, negative cash flows from operating activities, the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, volatility of the global oil and gas markets, a strong U.S. dollar in certain markets making its products more expensive in such markets and ongoing global geopolitical tensions. The Company incurred a net loss of $2.2 million and used net cash in operating activities of $10.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Cash used for working capital requirements for the quarter were primarily for increases in inventory, which was primarily due to the Company’s intent to grow its long-term rental fleet from 10.6 MW to 21.1 MW during Fiscal 2022, as well as the delayed timing of accounts receivable collections due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the Company used cash to replace parts under its reliability repair program established during the fourth quarter for Fiscal 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $49.2 million, and outstanding debt of $50.9 million at fair value (see Note 11 – Term Note Payable for further discussion of the outstanding debt).

Management evaluated these conditions in relation to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s ability to continue current operations and to execute on management’s plans is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations. While no assurances can be provided, management believes that the Company will continue to make progress on its path to profitability by continuing to maintain low operating expenses and develop its geographical and vertical markets. The Company may seek to raise funds by selling additional securities (through at-the-market offerings or otherwise). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds on commercially favorable terms or at all. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing additional equity, the fully diluted ownership percentages of existing stockholders will be reduced. In addition, any equity that the Company would issue may include rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of its Common Stock.

Based on the Company’s current operating plan, management anticipates that, given current working capital levels, current financial projections and funds received under debt agreements as further described in Note 11 – Term Note Payable, and funds received under offerings of common stock as further described in Note 9 – Offerings of Common Stock and Warrants, the Company will be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of the Company’s first quarter of Fiscal 2022 interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Company Response to COVID-19

In March 2020, the Company began to monitor the global effects of COVID-19, the worldwide spread of which led the World Health Organization (“WHO”) to characterize it as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Thereafter, most U.S. states imposed “stay-at-home” orders on their populations to stem the spread of COVID-19. Of specific interest to the Company, stay-at-home orders were imposed in the state of California on March 20, 2020.

On March 23, 2020 the Company enacted a Business Continuity Plan in response to COVID-19. Beginning March 30, 2020, the Company furloughed 52 employees, leaving behind only staff deemed essential for day-to-day administrative operations for a minimum period of 45 days. The Company’s Leadership Team volunteered to take a 25% temporary salary cut. In addition, 25 other top Company managers volunteered to take a similar 15% reduction in salary. Several employees returned to work June 1, 2020, most with the 15% voluntary salary cuts, with others returning in a staggered manner through the end of September 2020. Additionally, in March 2020, the Board voted to take a temporary 25% reduction in base cash retainer in support of the Company’s Business Continuity Plan. As a result of the continued global economic slowdown due to COVID-19 and the associated decline in global crude oil prices, the Company eliminated 26 positions on June 1, 2020. During the period of March 30, 2020 to June 1, 2020, the Company had limited production capability of new microturbine products, but had pre-built approximately 5.9 MW of microturbine finished goods during March 2020 for shipment during this period of suspended production. On September 28, 2020 salaries were returned to 100% and remaining furloughed employees returned to work. The Company’s vendor supply chain has also been impacted by the pandemic; however, the Company has been able to maintain sufficient supply flow to continue operations as of the date hereof.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (the “CARES Act”), which, among other things, outlines the provisions of the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”). The Company determined that it met the criteria to be eligible to obtain a loan under the PPP because, among other reasons, in light of the COVID-19 outbreak and the uncertainty of economic conditions related thereto, the loan was necessary to support the Company’s ongoing operations. Under the PPP, the Company could obtain a U.S. Small Business Administration loan in an amount equal to the average of the Company’s monthly payroll costs (as defined under the PPP) for calendar 2019 multiplied by 2.5 (approximately 10 weeks of payroll costs). Section 1106 of the CARES Act contains provisions for the forgiveness of all or a portion of a PPP loan, subject to the satisfaction of certain requirements. The amount eligible for forgiveness is, subject to certain limitations, the sum of the Company’s payroll costs, rent and utilities paid by the Company during the eight-week period beginning on the funding date of the PPP loan.

On April 24, 2020, the Company closed on a PPP loan in the amount of $2,610,200, which was transferred by the Company into an account dedicated to allowable uses of the PPP loan proceeds. On May 13, 2020, the Company repaid $660,200 of the loan in accordance with the Fourth Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement between the Company and Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group, L.P. In February 2021, the Company applied for forgiveness in full of the original balance of the PPP loan and the loan was forgiven in full on June 30, 2021, and the Company received a refund of $660,200.

Basis for Consolidation  These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Capstone Turbine International, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary that was formed in June 2004 and Capstone Turbine Financial Services, LLC, its wholly owned subsidiary that was formed in October 2015, after elimination of inter-company transactions.

3.  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The new guidance removes certain exceptions to the general principles of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 in order to simplify the complexities of its application. These changes include eliminations to the exceptions for intraperiod tax allocation, recognizing deferred tax liabilities related to outside basis differences, and year-to-date losses in interim periods, among others. The effective date of this guidance for public companies is for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on April 1, 2021 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Not yet adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The amendments in this ASU reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock in order to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments and reduce complexity. In addition, it amends the guidance for scope exception surrounding derivatives for contracts in an entity’s own equity. In each case, the related guidance surrounding EPS has also been amended. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Other standards issued but not yet effective, which are not discussed, are not considered material to the Company.

4.  Customer Concentrations and Accounts Receivable

Horizon Power Systems (“Horizon”) and E-Finity Distributed Generation, LLC (“E-Finity), two of the Company’s domestic distributors, accounted for 11% and 10% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. E-Finity and Cal Microturbine (“CAL”), two of the Company’s domestic distributors, each accounted for 12% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Stock Plans

2000 Equity Incentive Plan and 2017 Equity Incentive Plan

In June 2017, the Company’s Board adopted the Capstone Green Energy Corporation 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), which was approved by the stockholders at the Company’s 2017 annual meeting of stockholders on August 31, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Meeting”). The 2017 Plan provides for awards of up to 300,000 shares of Common Stock. The 2017 Plan is administered by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee designated by the Board (the “Compensation Committee”). The Compensation Committee’s authority includes determining the number of incentive awards and vesting provisions. On June 5, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted an amendment of the 2017 Plan to increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan by 300,000 shares of Common Stock. The amendment of the 2017 Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders on August 30, 2018. Since this time, the Company’s stockholders have approved amendments to increase the aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan by an additional 800,000 shares of Common Stock.

As of June 30, 2021, there were 452,305 shares available for future grants under the 2017 Plan.

 On June 2, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved, Amendment No. 4 (the “Plan Amendment”) to the 2017 Plan, subject to stockholder approval, to increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan by 500,000 and is submitting the Plan Amendment to the stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting to be held on August 27, 2021.

Restricted Stock Units and Performance Restricted Stock Units

The Company issued restricted stock units under the Company’s 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, as well as issued (and may in the future issue) restricted stock units under the 2017 Plan to employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The restricted stock units are valued based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date

11

of issuance, and compensation cost is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The restricted stock units issued to employees vest over a period of two, three or four years. For restricted stock units with two year vesting, 100% vests on the second year anniversary. For restricted stock units with three year vesting, one-third vest annually beginning one year after the issuance date. For restricted stock units with four year vesting, one-fourth vest annually beginning one year after the issuance date. The restricted stock units issued to non-employee directors vest one year after the issuance date. The following table summarizes restricted stock unit and performance restricted stock unit (“PRSU”) activity during the three months ended June 30, 2021:

		Weighted
		Average Grant
		Date Fair
Restricted Stock Units and Performance Restricted Stock Units	Shares	Value
Non-vested restricted stock units outstanding at March 31, 2021	497,281	$	5.65
Granted	154,782		6.35
Vested and issued	(19,096)		7.25
Forfeited	(3,410)		6.29
Non-vested restricted stock units outstanding at June 30, 2021	629,557		5.77
Restricted stock units expected to vest beyond June 30, 2021	629,557	$	5.77

The following table provides additional information on restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units:

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020
Restricted stock compensation expense (in thousands)	$	305	$	210
Aggregate fair value of restricted stock units vested and issued (in thousands)	$	160	$	22
Weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock units granted during the period	$	6.35	$	—

As of June 30, 2021, there was approximately $2.5 million of total compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units that is expected to be recognized as expense over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.

The Company’s PRSU activity is included in the above restricted stock units tables. The PRSU program has a three-year performance measurement period. The performance measurement period begins on April 1 of the first fiscal year and end on March 31 of the third fiscal year after the grant date. The program is intended to have overlapping performance measurement periods (e.g., a new three-year cycle begins each year on April 1), subject to Compensation Committee approval. At the end of each performance measurement period, the Compensation Committee will determine the achievement against the performance objectives.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted 35,986 PRSUs with a three-year performance measurement period. The target PRSU awards for each participant, will be paid upon achievement of the target level of performance for aftermarket sales absorption and payoff or refinancing of its debt with a reduced rate, taking into account the applicable weighting for the individual metric. Achievement of a performance goal at the threshold level will result in a payment that is 50% of the target PRSU award. Achievement of a performance goal at the maximum level will result in a payment that is 150% of the target PRSU award. The Compensation Committee will use an interpolation table that weights performance between levels for determining the portion of the Target PRSU that is earned. There were no PRSUs granted during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

The weighted average per share grant date fair value of PRSUs granted during the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $8.39. Based on the Company’s assessment as of June 30, 2021, the Company does not expect to meet the threshold of the performance measurements for the Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2020 PRSUs, and as a result, no compensation expense was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Compensation expense is recognized over the corresponding requisite service period and will be adjusted in subsequent reporting periods if the Company’s assessment of the probable level of achievement of the performance goals change. The Company will continue to assess the likelihood of the PRSU threshold being met until the end of the applicable performance period.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In June 2000, the Company adopted the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP provides for the granting of rights to purchase Common Stock to regular full and part-time employees or officers of the Company and its subsidiaries. In June 2017, the Board unanimously approved an amendment and restatement to the ESPP which was approved by the stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders on August 31, 2017. Prior to the amendment, 7,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock had been reserved for issuance. As amended, the ESPP continued by its terms and the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock available increased by 50,000 shares which reserved for issuance a total of 57,000 shares of common stock. Under the ESPP, shares of the Company’s Common Stock are issued upon exercise of the purchase rights. The maximum amount that an employee can contribute during a purchase right period is $25,000 or 15% of the employee’s regular compensation. Under the ESPP, the exercise price of a purchase right is 95% of the fair market value of such shares on the last day of the purchase right period. The fair market value of the stock is its closing price as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the day in question. The ESPP was terminated as of December 31, 2020.

Stockholder Rights Plan

On May 6, 2019, the Board declared a dividend of one right (a “New Right”) for each of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The dividend was paid to the stockholders of record at the close of business on May 16, 2019 (the “Record Date”). Each New Right entitles the registered holder, subject to the terms of the NOL Rights Agreement (as defined below), to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of the Company’s Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) at a price of $5.22 (the “Exercise Price”), subject to certain adjustments. The description and terms of the New Rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement dated as of May 6, 2019 (the “NOL Rights Agreement”) between the Company and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agent”).

The NOL Rights Agreement replaced the Company’s Rights Agreement, dated May 6, 2016, by and between the Company and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., as successor-in-interest to Computershare Inc., as rights agent (the “Original Rights Agreement”). The Original Rights Agreement, and the rights thereunder to purchase fractional shares of Preferred Stock, expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 6, 2019 and the NOL Rights Agreement was entered into immediately thereafter.

The purpose of the NOL Rights Agreement is to diminish the risk that the Company’s ability to use its net operating losses and certain other tax assets (collectively, “Tax Benefits”) to reduce potential future federal income tax obligations would become subject to limitations by reason of the Company’s experiencing an “ownership change,” as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”). A company generally experiences such an ownership change if the percentage of its stock owned by its “5-percent shareholders,” as defined in Section 382 of the Tax Code, increases by more than 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. The NOL Rights Agreement is designed to reduce the likelihood that the Company will experience an ownership change under Section 382 of the Tax Code by (i) discouraging any person or group from becoming a 4.9% or greater shareholder and (ii) discouraging any existing 4.9% or greater shareholder from acquiring additional shares of the Company’s stock.

The New Rights will not be exercisable until the earlier to occur of (i) the close of business on the tenth business day after a public announcement or filing that a person has, or group of affiliated or associated persons have, become an “Acquiring Person,” which is defined as a person or group of affiliated or associated persons who, at any time after the date of the NOL Rights Agreement, have acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 4.9% or more of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, subject to certain exceptions or (ii) the close of business on the tenth business day after the commencement of, or announcement of an intention to commence, a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in any person becoming an Acquiring Person (the earlier of such dates being called the “Distribution Date”). Certain synthetic interests in securities created by derivative positions, whether or not such interests are considered to be ownership of the underlying Common Stock or are reportable for purposes of Regulation 13D of the Exchange Act, are treated as beneficial ownership of the number of shares of Common Stock equivalent to the economic exposure created by the derivative position, to the extent actual shares of the Common Stock are directly or indirectly held by counterparties to the derivatives contracts.

With respect to certificates representing shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date, until the Distribution Date, the New Rights will be evidenced by such certificates for shares of common stock registered in the names of the holders thereof, and not by separate Rights Certificates, as described further below. With respect to book

13

entry shares of common stock outstanding as of the Record Date, until the Distribution Date, the New Rights will be evidenced by the balances indicated in the book entry account system of the transfer agent for the common stock. Until the earlier of the Distribution Date and the Expiration Date, as described below, the transfer of any shares of common stock outstanding on the Record Date will also constitute the transfer of the New Rights associated with such shares of common stock. As soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, separate certificates evidencing the New Rights (“Right Certificates”) will be mailed to holders of record of the common stock as of the close of business on the Distribution Date, and such Right Certificates alone will evidence the New Rights.

The New Rights, which are not exercisable until the Distribution Date, will expire prior to the earliest of (i) May 6, 2022 or such later day as may be established by the Board prior to the expiration of the New Rights, provided that the extension is submitted to the Company’s stockholders for ratification at the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company succeeding such extension; (ii) the time at which the New Rights are redeemed pursuant to the NOL Rights Agreement; (iii) the time at which the New Rights are exchanged pursuant to the NOL Rights Agreement; (iv) the time at which the New Rights are terminated upon the occurrence of certain transactions; (v) the close of business on the first day after the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders, if approval by the stockholders of the Company of the NOL Rights Agreement has not been obtained on or prior to the close of business on the first day after the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders; (vi) the close of business on the effective date of the repeal of Section 382 of the Tax Code, if the Board determines that the NOL Rights Agreement is no longer necessary or desirable for the preservation of Tax Benefits; and (vii) the close of business on the first day of a taxable year of the Company to which the Board determines that no Tax Benefits are available to be carried forward, (the earliest of (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) is referred to as the “Expiration Date”).

Each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled, when, as and if declared, to a preferential per share quarterly dividend payment equal to the greater of (i) $1.00 per share or (ii) an amount equal to 1,000 times the aggregate quarterly dividend declared per share of Common Stock since the immediately preceding quarterly dividend payment date for the Common Stock (or, with respect to the first quarterly dividend payment on the Common Stock, since the first issuance of the Preferred Stock). Each share of Preferred Stock will entitle the holder thereof to 1,000 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company. In the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which shares of Common Stock are converted or exchanged, each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive 1,000 times the amount received per one share of Common Stock.

9.  Offerings of Common Stock and Warrants

Common Stock Offering

On June 17, 2021, the Company entered into an amended and restated underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with H.C.

LLC (the “Holder”), a Purchase Warrant for Common Shares (the “Warrant”) pursuant to which the Holder may purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock in an aggregate amount of up to 404,634 shares (the “Warrant Shares”). The Warrant was sold to the Holder at a purchase price of $150,000, in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act. The Warrant may be exercised by the Holder at any time after August 4, 2019 at an exercise price equal to $8.86 and will expire on February 4, 2024. The Warrant contains standard adjustment provisions in the event of additional stock issuances below the exercise price of the warrant, stock splits, combinations, rights offerings and similar transactions. The value of the Warrant was $2.3 million, and has been classified as an equity instrument in additional paid in capital in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2021, the Holder may purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock in an aggregate amount of up to 463,067 shares.

On December 9, 2019, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 to the Purchase Warrant for Common Shares (the “Amendment No. 1”) with Special Situations Investing Group II, LLC (as successor in interest to Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC) (the “Warrant Holder”) that amends the Warrant. The Amendment No. 1 amended the Warrant to increase the number of Warrant Shares issuable under the Warrant (on a post-reverse split basis) and to decrease the exercise price from $8.86 per share (on a post-reverse split basis) to $3.80 per share (the “Per Share Warrant Exercise Price”). The Amendment No. 1 also amends the Warrant such that the Per Share Anti-Dilution Price is equal to the Per Share Warrant Exercise Price. As a result of the decrease in exercise price, the Company recorded the change in valuation of $0.3 million as additional debt discount with a corresponding entry to additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of stockholders equity.

On June 16, 2020, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 2 to the Purchase Warrant for Common Shares (“Amendment No. 2”) with the Warrant Holder to increase the number of Warrant Shares (as defined therein) issuable under the Warrant and to decrease the exercise price from $3.80 per share to $2.61 per share (the “Per Share Warrant Exercise Price”). The Company would receive aggregate gross proceeds of $1,186,313 if the outstanding Warrant is exercised at the new Per Share Warrant Exercise Price.

Amendment No. 2 also amends the Warrant such that the Per Share Anti-Dilution Price (as defined therein) is equal to the Per Share Warrant Exercise Price as provided in the Amendment No. 2 to the Warrant. As a result of the decrease in exercise price, the Company recorded the change in valuation of $0.1 million as additional debt discount with a corresponding entry to additional paid in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of stockholders equity. All other terms and provisions in the Warrant remain in effect.

Goldman “2020 Warrant”

On October 1, 2020, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 3 to the Purchase Warrant for Common Shares (the “Amendment No. 3”) with Special Situations Investing Group II, LLC (as successor in interest to Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC) (the “Warrant Holder”) that amends that certain Purchase Warrant for Common Shares originally issued by the Company to Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, dated February 4, 2019, as amended (the “Original Warrant”). Amendment No. 3 amends the Original Warrant to amend Section 2.1, Section 2.2(c) and Section 18.1 of the Warrant to, among other things, make certain changes necessitated by the issuance of a second Warrant (the “2020 Warrant”) to the Warrant Holder pursuant to the Company’s entry into the Amended & Restated (“A&R”) Note Purchase Agreement (See Note 11 – Term Note Payable).

On October 1, 2020, and pursuant to the Company’s entry into the A&R Note Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to the Warrant Holder the 2020 Warrant to purchase up to 291,295 shares (the “2020 Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock.

Stock to Vendors

On February 17, 2021, the Company and Andretti Autosport 6, Inc. an Indiana corporation (“AA”), a race team participating in the IndyCar Series sanctioned by INDYCAR, LLC (the “Series”), entered into a Sponsorship Agreement (the “Sponsorship Agreement”) effective February 17, 2021 through December 31, 2021, whereby the Company agreed to sponsor AA’s Car #29 participation in the Series on a full-time basis. In exchange for AA’s participation in the Series, the Company agreed to a sponsorship fee in the total amount of approximately, $1.2 million of which $0.3 million is due and payable in cash and $0.9 million was in unregistered shares of Common Stock of the Company.

10. Fair Value Measurements

The FASB has established a framework for measuring fair value using generally accepted accounting principles. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

16

(level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1.  Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2. Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

● Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets

● Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets

● Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability

● Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3.  Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Basis for Valuation

The carrying values reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The term note payable has been recorded net of a discount based on the fair value of the associated warrant and capitalized debt issuance costs and as of June 30, 2021 includes the Three-Year Term Note as discussed in Note 11 – Term Note Payable. The carrying values and estimated fair values of these obligations are as follows (in thousands):

	As of				As of
	June 30, 2021				March 31, 2021
	Carrying		Estimated		Carrying		Estimated
	Value		Fair Value		Value		Fair Value
Term note payable	$	50,923	$	51,000	$	50,915	$	51,000

Under the A&R Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued an additional $20 million in Notes, increasing total borrowings to $50 million. Following entry into the A&R Note Purchase Agreement, all outstanding Notes bear interest at the Adjusted (London Interbank Offer) LIBO Rate (as defined in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement) plus 8.75% per annum, payable on the last day of each interest period of one-, two-, three- or six-months (but, in the case of a six-month interest period, every three-months). The Notes do not amortize and the entire principal balance is due in a single payment on the maturity date, October 1, 2023. As of June 30, 2021, $50.9 million in borrowings were outstanding under the Notes, which includes the accrual for an exit fee to be paid at maturity or upon pre-payment. Obligations under the A&R Note Purchase Agreement are secured by all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets, including intellectual property and general intangibles.

The A&R Note Purchase Agreement contains customary covenants, including, among others, covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to incur debt, grant liens, make certain investments and acquisitions, pay dividends, repurchase equity interests, repay certain debt, amend certain contracts, enter into affiliate transactions and asset sales or make certain equity issuances (including equity issuances that would cause an ownership change within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code), and covenants that require the Company to, among other things, provide annual, quarterly and monthly financial statements, together with related compliance certificates, maintain its property in good condition, maintain insurance and comply with applicable laws. The financial covenants of the A&R Note Purchase Agreement require the Company not to exceed specified levels of Adjusted EBITDA losses relative to its financial model, beginning with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021. Additionally, the Company shall not permit the Company’s minimum consolidated liquidity, which consists of its cash and cash equivalents, to be less than $9.0 million. Furthermore, the covenants require the Company to expand its Rental Fleet (as defined in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement) by (i) at least 6.25 MW by the 9-month anniversary of the Closing Date, and (ii) at least 12.50 MW by the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date.

On May 13, 2021, the Company and the collateral agent, entered into a First Amendment, dated as of May 13, 2021 (the “Amendment”), to the A&R Note Purchase Agreement.  The Amendment amends certain provisions of the A&R Note Purchase Agreement, including to (a) require the Company to expand its Rental Fleet (as defined in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement) by (i) at least 2.00 MW by the 9-month anniversary of the Closing Date (instead of 6.25 MW as provided in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement prior to the Amendment), and (ii) at least 12.50 MW by the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date (which is unchanged from the covenant set forth in in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement prior to the Amendment), and (b) increase the Company’s minimum consolidated liquidity requirement from $9 million to $12.2 million for the period from the Amendment Date to March 31, 2022.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with the covenants contained in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement.

The Notes have been recorded net of a discount based on the debt issuance costs totaling $0.1 million. Amortization of the debt discount and debt issuance costs was $9,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, based on an effective interest rate, and has been recorded as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Interest expense related to the Notes payable during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $1.2 million and $1.3 million, and includes $9,000 and $0.3 million in amortization of debt issuance costs, respectively.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On April 15, 2020, the Company submitted an application to its banking partner Western Alliance Bank, an Arizona corporation (“Western Alliance”) under the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) enabled by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020 (the “CARES Act”). Western Alliance entered into a note on April 24, 2020 with the Company and agreed to make available to the Company a loan in the amount of $2,610,200 (the “PPP Loan”). The Company received the full amount of the PPP Loan on April 24, 2020 (the “Initial Disbursement Date) and has used the proceeds to support fixed costs such as payroll costs, rent and utilities in accordance with the relevant terms and conditions of the CARES Act. The advance under the Loan bears interest at a rate per annum of 1%. The term of the PPP Loan is two years, ending April 24, 2022.

On May 13, 2020, the Company repaid $660,200 of the PPP Loan in accordance with the Fourth Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement between the Company and Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group, L.P.

In February 2021, the Company applied for forgiveness of the PPP Loan and the loan was forgiven in full on June 30, 2021 (See “Gain on extinguishment of debt” below).

Gain on extinguishment of debt   In June 2021, the Company received notification from Western Alliance that the SBA approved forgiveness of the PPP loan in its entirety. The Company accounted for forgiveness on the PPP Loan in accordance with ASC 470 and recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of $1.9 million debt on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

In June 2021, the Company also received a refund of the $660,200 previously repaid in accordance with the Fourth Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement between the Company and Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group, L.P. and recorded these amounts within other income on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

12. Accrued Warranty Reserve

The Company provides for the estimated costs of warranties at the time revenue is recognized. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the microturbine product sold and the geography of sale. The Company’s product warranties generally start from the delivery date and continue for up to twenty-four months. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty obligation include product failure rates, anticipated hours of product operations and costs of repair or replacement in correcting product failures. These factors are estimates that may change based on new information that becomes available each period. Similarly, the Company also accrues the estimated costs to address reliability repairs on products no longer in warranty when, in the Company’s judgment, and in accordance with a specific plan developed by the Company, it is prudent to provide such repairs. The Company assesses the adequacy of recorded warranty liabilities quarterly and makes adjustments to the liability as necessary. When the Company has sufficient evidence that product changes are altering the historical failure occurrence rates, the impact of such changes is then taken into account in estimating future warranty liabilities. Changes in the accrued warranty reserve are as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	June 30,		March 31,
	2021		2021
Balance, beginning of the period	$	5,850	$	1,523
Standard warranty provision		44		450
Accrual related to reliability repair programs		—		4,945
Deductions for warranty claims		(1,990)		(1,068)
Balance, end of the period	$	3,904	$	5,850

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021, the Company recorded a specific $4.9 million accrual related to reliability repair programs to account for the replacement of remaining high risk failure parts in some of the Company’s fielded units due to a supplier defect.

13. Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenues primarily from system sales, service contracts and professional services. Revenues are recognized when control of the systems and services is transferred to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services.

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

● Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer

● Identification of the performance obligations in the contract

● Determination of the transaction price

● Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

● Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation

The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations identified under the terms of contracts with its customers are satisfied, which generally occurs, for systems, upon the transfer of control in accordance with the contractual terms and conditions of the sale. The majority of the Company’s revenue associated with systems is recognized at a point in time when the system is shipped to the customer. Revenue from service contracts and post-shipment performance obligations is recognized when or as those obligations are satisfied. The Company primarily offers assurance-type standard warranties that do not represent separate performance obligations and will separately offer and price extended warranties that are separate performance obligations for which the associated revenue is recognized over-time based on the extended warranty period. The Company records amounts billed to customers for reimbursement of shipping and handling costs within revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a system has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of goods sold. Sales taxes and other usage-based taxes are excluded from revenue.

Comprehensive Factory Protection Plan (“FPP”) service contracts require payment at the beginning of the contract period. Advance payments are not considered a significant financing component as they are typically received less than one year before the related performance obligations are satisfied. These payments are treated as a contract liability and are classified in deferred revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Once control transfers to the customer and the Company meets the revenue recognition criteria, the deferred revenue is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The deferred revenue relating to the annual maintenance service contracts is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the contract.

Significant Judgments - Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations

The Company enters into contracts with its customers that often include promises to transfer multiple products, parts, accessories, FPP and services. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer products or services that are distinct. Determining whether products and services are distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately or combined as one unit of accounting may require significant judgment.

Products, parts and accessories are distinct as such services are often sold separately. In determining whether FPP and service contracts are distinct, the Company considers the following factors for each FPP and services agreement: availability of the services from other vendors, the nature of the services, the timing of when the services contract was signed in comparison to the product delivery date and the contractual dependence of the product on the customer’s satisfaction with the professional services work. To date, the Company has concluded that all of the FPP and services contracts included in contracts with multiple performance obligations are distinct.

The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) basis. The SSP is the price at which the Company would sell a promised product or service separately to a customer. Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation.

The Company determines SSP by considering its overall pricing objectives and market conditions. Significant pricing practices taken into consideration include the Company’s discounting practices, the size and volume of the Company’s transactions, the customer demographic, the geographic area where systems and services are sold, price lists, its go-to-market strategy, historical sales and contract prices. The determination of SSP is made through consultation with and approval by the Company’s management, taking into consideration the go-to-market strategy. As the Company’s go-

20

to-market strategies evolve, the Company may modify its pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes to SSP.

In certain cases, the Company is able to establish SSP based on observable prices of products or services sold separately in comparable circumstances to similar customers. The Company uses a single amount to estimate SSP when it has observable prices.

If SSP is not directly observable, for example when pricing is highly variable, the Company uses a range of SSP. The Company determines the SSP range using information that may include market conditions or other observable inputs. The Company typically has more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customer size and geography.

Contract Balances

The Company’s contract liabilities consist of advance payments for systems as well as deferred revenue on service obligations and extended warranties. The current portion of deferred revenue is included in current liabilities under deferred revenue and the non-current portion of deferred revenue is included in other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of June 30, 2021, the balance of deferred revenue was approximately $6.7 million compared to $7.1 million as of March 31, 2021. The overall decrease in the balance of deferred revenue of $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 was comprised of decreases in deferred revenue attributable to the Distributor Support System (“DSS

21

program”) of $0.4 million and FPP contracts of $0.3 million, offset by an increase in deposits of $0.3 million. Changes in deferred revenue are as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	June 30,		March 31,
	2021		2021
FPP Balance, beginning of the period	$	4,765	$	4,864
FPP Billings		4,092		4,172
FPP Revenue recognized		(4,359)		(4,271)
Balance attributed to FPP contracts		4,498		4,765
DSS Program		973		1,417
Deposits		1,263		957
Deferred revenue balance, end of the period	$	6,734	$	7,139

Deferred revenue attributed to FPP contracts represents the unearned portion of the Company’s contracts. FPP contracts are generally paid quarterly in advance with revenue recognized on a straight line basis over the contract period. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $4.5 million of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for FPP contracts. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately $3.8 million of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months and the balance of $0.7 million will be recognized thereafter.

The DSS program provides additional support for distributor business development activities, customer lead generation, brand awareness and tailored marketing services for each of the Company’s major geography and market vertical. This program is funded by the Company’s distributors and was developed to provide improved worldwide distributor training, sales efficiency, website development, company branding and provide funding for increased strategic marketing activities. DSS program revenue is generally paid quarterly with revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over a calendar year period.

Deposits are primarily non-refundable cash payments from distributors for future orders.

Unsatisfied Performance Obligations

The Company has elected the practical expedient to disclose only the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length greater than one year. The majority of the Company’s revenues resulted from sales of inventoried systems with short periods of manufacture and delivery and thus are excluded from this disclosure.

As of June 30, 2021, the FPP backlog was approximately $76.8 million, which represents the value of the contractual agreement for FPP services that had not been earned and extends through Fiscal 2036.

Practical Expedients

The Company applies a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

14. Other Assets

The Company was a party to a Development and License Agreement with Carrier Corporation (“Carrier”) regarding the payment of royalties on the sale of each of the Company’s 200 kilowatt (“C200”) microturbines. In 2013, the Company reached its repayment threshold level and the fixed rate royalty was reduced by 50%. On July 25, 2018, the Company and Carrier entered into a Second Amendment to the Development and License Agreement (“Second Amendment”) whereby the Company agreed to pay Carrier approximately $3.0 million to conclude the Company’s current royalty obligation under the Development and License Agreement, dated as of September 4, 2007, as amended (“Development Agreement”), and release the Company from any future royalty payment obligations. The Second Amendment also removed non-compete provisions from the Development Agreement, allowing the Company to design market or sell its C200 System in conjunction with any energy system and compete with Carrier products in the CCHP market.

22

On September 19, 2018, the Company paid in full the negotiated royalty settlement of $3.0 million to Carrier, and as such, there is no further royalty obligation to Carrier. The prepaid royalty of $3.0 million has been recorded under the captions “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Other assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations over a 15-year amortization period through September 2033 using an effective royalty rate. A 15-year amortization period is the minimum expected life cycle of the current generation of product. The effective royalty rate is calculated as the prepaid royalty settlement divided by total projected C200 System units over the 15-year amortization period. On a quarterly basis, the Company will perform a re-forecast of C200 System unit shipments, to determine if an adjustment to the effective royalty rate is necessary. Accordingly, if the Company’s future projections change, its effective royalty rates would change, which could affect the amount and timing of royalty expense the Company recognizes. If impairment exists, then the prepaid royalty asset could be written down to fair value. Prepaid royalties are classified as current assets to the extent that such amounts will be recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations within the next 12 months. The current and long-term portions of prepaid royalties, included in other current assets and other assets, respectively, consisted of (in thousands):

	June 30,		March 31,
	2021		2021
Other current assets	$	124	$	124
Other assets		2,578		2,613
Royalty-related assets	$	2,702	$	2,737

15.  Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had firm commitments to purchase inventories of approximately $44.2 million through Fiscal 2024. Certain inventory delivery dates and related payments are not firmly scheduled; therefore, amounts under these firm purchase commitments will be payable upon the receipt of the related inventories.

Lease Commitments

See Note 16 – Leases.

Other Commitments

The Company has agreements with certain of its distributors requiring that, if the Company renders parts obsolete in inventories the distributors own and hold in support of their obligations to serve fielded microturbines, then the Company is required to replace the affected stock at no cost to the distributors. While the Company has never incurred costs or obligations for these types of replacements, it is possible that future changes in the Company’s product technology could result and yield costs to the Company if significant amounts of inventory are held at distributors. As of June 30, 2021, no significant inventories were held at distributors.

Legal Matters

Capstone Turbine Corporation v. Turbine International, LLC.

On February 3, 2020, Capstone Turbine Corporation filed suit against its former distributor, Turbine International, LLC (“Turbine Intl.”), in the Superior Court of California for the County of Los Angeles under the following caption: Capstone Turbine Corporation v. Turbine International, LLC; Case No. 20STCV04372 (“Capstone-Turbine Intl. Litigation”). The Company has alleged claims against Turbine Intl. for breach of contract and for injunctive relief relating to the parties’ prior distributor relationship, which terminated at the end of March of 2018, and Turbine Intl.’s failure to satisfy its payment obligations under certain financial agreements, namely an accounts receivable agreement and promissory note in favor of Capstone. As remedies for these claims, the Company is seeking compensatory, consequential, along with injunctive relief and attorney’s fees, interest, and costs.

23

On March 18, 2020, Turbine Intl. filed its answer and cross-claims in the Capstone-Turbine Intl. Litigation. In its cross-claims, Turbine Intl. has asserted claims against Capstone, and individually against Mr. James Crouse, Capstone’s Chief Revenue Officer, for breach of contract under the distributor agreement, accounts receivable agreement and promissory note, fraud, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment and constructive trust, negligent misrepresentation, violation of the unfair practices act, violation of racketeer influenced corrupt organizations act, and conspiracy to commit fraud. As remedies for these alleged claims, Turbine Intl. are seeking compensatory, consequential, and punitive damages along with attorney’s fees, interest, and costs. Capstone answered the cross-claims on May 7, 2020.

On June 29, 2020, Capstone filed a motion to file a First Amended Complaint that would add, among other things, a claim for enforcement of a personal guaranty signed by an entity related to Turbine Intl., Hispania Petroleum, S.A., and personal claims against the principals of Turbine Intl. and Hispania. That motion was granted on August 19, 2020, and the First Amended Complaint (“FAC”) is now on file. All of the new defendants have been served and have filed answers. A case management conference set for June 21, 2021 was continued and is now set to occur on August 20, 2021. Discovery is ongoing. The Company has not recorded any liability as of June 30, 2021, as the matter is too early to estimate.

16. Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), requiring lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. The ASU requires lessees to recognize a liability for lease obligations, which represents the discounted obligation to make future lease payments, and a corresponding right-of-use (ROU) asset on the balance sheet.

The Company adopted the new standard on April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption of the new lease standard on April 1, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $5.5 million of right-of-use assets, adjusted for the reclassification of deferred rent and lease incentive of approximately $0.3 million, and $5.8 million of operating lease liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets upon adoption. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or Cash Flows and did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit. Financed leases are not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and are therefore not included in the footnote disclosures.

In June 2019, the Company entered into a new lease of approximately 9,216 square feet of warehouse space at 16701 Stagg Street in Van Nuys, California. Upon the lease commencement date in July 2019, the Company recorded $0.5 million of right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities.

The Company leases offices and manufacturing facilities under various non-cancelable operating leases expiring at various times through Fiscal 2025. All of the leases require the Company to pay maintenance, insurance and property taxes. The lease agreements for primary office and manufacturing facilities provide for rent escalation over the lease term and renewal options for five-year periods. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

The components of lease expense were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020
Operating lease cost	$	252	$	268

Supplemental balance sheet information related to the leases was as follows (dollars in thousands):

17. Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic loss per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is also computed without consideration to potentially dilutive instruments because the Company incurred losses which would make such instruments anti-dilutive. Outstanding stock options and restricted stock units at June 30, 2021 and 2020 were 0.6 million and 0.3 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the number of warrants excluded from diluted net loss per common share computations was approximately 1.0 million and 1.5 million, respectively.

18.  Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing date of this Form 10-Q with the SEC, to ensure that this filing includes all appropriate footnote disclosure of events both recognized in the financial statements as of June 30, 2021, and events which occurred subsequently but were not recognized in the financial statements. There were no subsequent events which required recognition, adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.

Overview

We are the market leader in microturbines based on the number of microturbines sold. Generally, power purchased from the electric utility grid is less costly than power produced by distributed generation technologies. Utilities may also charge fees to interconnect to their power grids. However, we can provide economic benefits to end users in instances where the waste heat from our microturbine has value (CHP) and (CCHP), where fuel costs are low (renewable energy/renewable fuels), where the costs of connecting to the grid may be high or impractical (such as remote power applications), where reliability and power quality are of critical importance, or in situations where peak shaving could be economically advantageous because of highly variable electricity prices. Our microturbines can be interconnected to other distributed energy resources to form “microgrids” (also called “distribution networks”) located within a specific geographic area and provide power to a group of buildings. Because our microturbines can provide a reliable source of power and can operate on multiple fuel sources, management believes they offer a level of flexibility not currently offered by other technologies such as reciprocating engines. In addition to our existing microturbine products, since September 2020, we have offered additional energy conversion products in the form of Baker Hughes 5 MW, 12 MW, and 16 MW industrial gas turbines, where we will purchase and resell their product (although there was no revenue from sales of additional energy conversion products in the form of Baker Hughes industrial gas turbines for the three months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020). The Company is currently exploring energy conversion options for the smaller end of the power spectrum. We intend to begin to manufacture modular hybrid energy stations and lithium-ion BESS to be sold either individually or combined as part of a custom microturbine-battery storage solution. We consider our microturbines, Baker Hughes turbines, and hybrid energy stations to be a part of our Energy conversion products business line. We also added a new Energy Storage Products business line in Fiscal 2022 and there has not yet been any revenue from this business line.

Our goals for Fiscal 2022 are to:

● broaden our diverse energy products and service offerings,

● focus on growing top line revenue through our new Direct Solutions Sales team and growing the DSS subscription program, and expanding the rental fleet to 21.1 MW,

● increase aftermarket margins and escalate parts availability, and

● focus on managing working capital and inventory turns.

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2022 our net loss was $2.2 million and our basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.16, compared to $1.8 million and $0.17, respectively, in the same period of the previous fiscal year. The $0.4 million increase in the net loss during the first quarter of Fiscal 2022 compared to the same period the previous year was primarily attributable to increases in selling, general and administrative expense in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period last year, driven by the impacts of the enactment of our Business Continuity Plan in the same period last year, partially offset by the gain on extinguishment of debt as a result of forgiveness of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan (see Note 11 – Term Note Payable for further discussion of the PPP loan).

Our products continue to gain interest in all our major vertical markets (energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resources, critical power supply, microgrid and transportation). In the energy efficiency market, we continue to expand our market presence in hotels, office buildings, hospitals, retail, and industrial applications globally. The renewable energy market is fueled by landfill gas, biodiesel, and biogas from sources such as food processing, agricultural waste and livestock manure. Our product sales in the oil and gas and other natural resources market is driven by our microturbines’ reliability, emissions profile and ease of installation. Given the volatility of the oil and gas market, our business strategy is to target projects within the energy efficiency and renewable energy markets.

27

We continue to focus on improving our products based on customer input, building brand awareness and new channels to market by developing a diversified network of strategic distribution partners. Our focus is on products and solutions that provide near term opportunities to drive repeatable business rather than discrete projects for niche markets. In addition, management closely monitors operating expenses and strives to improve manufacturing efficiencies while simultaneously lowering direct material costs and increasing average selling prices. The key drivers of our success are expected to be revenue growth, higher average selling prices, lower direct material costs, positive new order flow and reduced cash usage.

An overview of our direction, targets and key initiatives are as follows:

1. Our Energy Conversion Products business line is driven by the Company’s industry-leading, highly efficient, low-emission, resilient microturbine energy systems offering scalable solutions in addition to a broad range of customer-tailored solutions. We target specific market verticals for these products.

Focus on Vertical Markets Within the distributed generation markets that we serve, we focus on vertical markets that we identify as having the greatest near-term potential. In our primary products and applications (energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resources, critical power supply, microgrid and transportation products), we identify specific targeted vertical market segments. Within each of these segments, we identify what we believe to be the critical factors to success and base our plans on those factors. Given the volatility of the oil and gas market, we have refocused our business strategy to target projects within the energy efficiency and renewable energy markets.

The following table summarizes our product shipments by vertical markets:

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020
Energy efficiency	45	%	56	%
Natural resources	27	%	28	%
Renewable energy	28	%	16	%

Energy Efficiency—CHP/CCHP

Energy efficiency refers to the proper utilization of both electrical and thermal energies in the power production process. In such applications, our microturbines are able to maximize the availability of usable energy to provide a significant economic advantage to customers while reducing their onsite emissions. CHP and CCHP can improve site economics by capturing the waste heat created from a single combustion process to increase the efficiency of the total system, from approximately 30 percent to 80 percent or more. Compared with more traditional, independent generation sources, the increase in operational efficiency also reduces greenhouse gas emissions through the displacement of other separate systems, which can also reduce operating costs.

Natural Resources—Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Shale Gas & Mining

Our microturbines are installed in the natural resource market for use in both onshore and offshore applications, including oil and gas exploration, production, and at compression and transmission sites as a highly efficient and reliable source of power. In some cases, these oil and gas or mining operations have no electric utility grid and rely solely on power generated onsite. There are numerous locations, on a global scale, where the drilling, production, compression and transportation of natural resources and other extraction and production processes create fuel byproducts, which are traditionally burned or released into the atmosphere. Our microturbines can turn these fuel byproducts - flare gas, or associated gas, into a useable fuel to provide prime power to these sites.

Renewable Energy

There is a growing transition to renewable energy sources and technologies on a global scale. Our microturbines run efficiently on renewable fuels such as methane and other biogases from landfills, wastewater treatment facilities and renewable natural gas. They also run efficiently on other small biogas applications like food processing plants, livestock farms and agricultural green waste operations. Microturbines can burn these renewable fuels with minimal emissions, thereby, in some cases, avoiding the imposition of penalties incurred for pollution while simultaneously producing electricity from this “free” renewable fuel source for use at the site or in the surrounding areas. Our microturbines have demonstrated effectiveness in these smaller applications and

28

may outperform conventional combustion engines in some situations, including when the gas contains a high amount of sulfur, as the sulfur can contaminate combustion engines lube oil leading to equipment breakdowns and higher lifecycle costs.

Critical Power Supply

Because of the potentially catastrophic consequences of system failure, momentary or otherwise, certain high demand power users, including high technology, health care and information systems facilities require higher levels of reliability in their power generation service. To meet these customer requirements, traditional solutions utilize Uninterruptible Power Supplies (“UPS”) to protect critical loads from power disturbances along with back-up diesel generators for extended outages. We offer an alternative solution that can both meet customer reliability requirements and reduce operating costs. We have seen continued development in the critical market segment as it relates to heath care facilities. There was no revenue in the Critical Power Supply market vertical for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Microgrid

Microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources that acts as a single controllable energy entity with respect to the grid. Distributed energy resources typically include other dual-mode microturbines, reciprocating engines, solar photovoltaic (PV), wind turbine, fuel cells and battery storage. Microgrids can be connected to larger electricity grids; however, in the event of a widespread outage, the microgrid will disconnect from the main grid and continue to operate independently to maintain the electricity supply to the homes and businesses that are connected to the microgrid’s electricity network. Our microturbines have the ability to meet the needs of microgrid end-users by lowering their overall cost to operate and by providing a versatile dispatchable technology that is fuel flexible and scalable enough to fit a wide variety of applications. We have seen continued development in the microgrid market segment. There was no revenue in the Microgrid market vertical for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Transportation

Our technology is also used in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (“HEV”) applications. Our customers have applied our products in HEV applications such as transit buses and Class 7 and 8 work trucks. In these applications, the microturbine acts as an onboard battery charger to recharge the battery system as needed. The benefits of microturbine-powered HEV hybrids include extended range, fuel economy gains, quieter operation, reduced emissions, and higher reliability when compared with traditional internal combustion engines.

Additionally, our technology has been used in marine applications. Our customers have applied our products in the commercial vessel and luxury yacht market segments. The application for our marine products is for use as a ship auxiliary engine. In this application, the microturbines provide power to the vessel’s electrical loads and, in some cases, the vessel can utilize the exhaust energy to increase the overall efficiency of the application, thereby reducing overall fuel consumption and emissions. Another feasible application is similar to our HEV application where the vessel is driven by an electric propulsion system and the microturbine serves as an on board range extender. Transportation is a developing market segment for us. In Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2021, transportation products were only for customer demonstrations. We have experienced continued development in these vertical markets and remain focused on the development of these applications. There was no revenue in the Transportation market vertical for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Backlog

Net product orders were approximately $6.7 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Ending backlog was approximately $27.8 million at June 30, 2021 compared to $29.4 million at March 31, 2021. The gross book-to-bill ratio was 1.0:1 and 0.9:1 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Book-to-bill ratio is the ratio of new orders we received to units shipped and billed during a period.

A portion of our backlog is concentrated in the oil and gas market which may impact the overall timing of shipments or the conversion of backlog to revenue. The timing of the backlog is based on the requirement date indicated by our customers. However, based on historical experience, management expects that a significant portion of our backlog may not be shipped within the next 18 months. Additionally, the timing of shipments is

29

subject to change based on several variables (including customer deposits, payments, availability of credit and customer delivery schedule changes), most of which are not in our control and can affect the timing of our revenue. As a result, management believes the book-to-bill ratio demonstrates the current demand for our products in the given period.

2. Sales and Distribution Channels  We seek out distributors that have business experience and capabilities to support our growth plans in our targeted markets. A significant portion of our revenue is derived from sales to distributors that resell our products to end users. We have a total of 65 distributors, OEMs and national accounts. In the United States and Canada, we currently have 10 distributors, OEMs and national accounts. Outside of the United States and Canada, we currently have 55 distributors, OEMs and national accounts. We continue to refine our distribution channels to address our specific targeted markets.

Effective January 1, 2018, we launched our Distributor Support System (“DSS program”) to provide additional support for distributor business development activities, customer lead generation, brand awareness and tailored marketing services for each of our major geography and market vertical. This program is funded by our distributors and was developed to provide improved worldwide distributor training, sales efficiency, website development, company branding and provide funding for increased strategic marketing activities. See Note 13 – Revenue Recognition for additional discussion of revenue recognition for this program.

3. Service  As part of our Energy as a Service business line, we provide service primarily through our global distribution network. Together with our global distribution network we offer a comprehensive factory protection plan for a fixed fee to perform regularly scheduled and unscheduled maintenance as needed. We provide factory and on-site training to certify all personnel that are allowed to perform service on our microturbines. Factory protection plans are generally paid quarterly in advance.

Our FPP backlog as of June 30, 2021 was approximately $76.8 million, which represents the value of the contractual agreement for FPP services that had not been earned and extends through Fiscal 2036. Our FPP backlog as of June 30, 2020 was approximately $80.4 million, which represents the value of the contractual agreement for FPP services that had not been earned and extends through Fiscal 2037. Additionally, we offer new and remanufactured parts through our global distribution network.

4. Product Robustness and Life Cycle Maintenance Costs  We continue to invest in enhancements that relate to high performance and high reliability. An important element of our continued innovation and product strategy is to focus on the engineering of our product hardware and electronics to make them work together more effectively and deliver improved microturbine performance, reliability and low maintenance cost to our customers.

5. New Product Development  Our new product development is targeted specifically to meet the needs of our selected vertical markets. We expect that our existing product platforms, the C30, C65, C200 and C1000 Series microturbines, will be our foundational product lines for the foreseeable future. Our research and development project portfolio is centered on enhancing the features of these base products.

During Fiscal 2020, we introduced and expanded our PowerSync family of controllers, easily customizable for our microturbine systems. Additionally, we delivered our first production self-cleanable severe environment air filtration system for our Signature Series line of microturbine products.

We continue to modernize electronics to today’s standards, providing common functionality and enabling long term support. To support our global fleet during Fiscal 2020, we achieved Australian AS4777 certification for our C200 product line, and UK G99 Grid Interconnect type approval for our C65 and C200 product lines. In addition, Germany released VDE 4110 for Medium Voltage Grid Interconnection, to augment the BDEW certification. We achieved “Prototype Confirmation” for this new specification that enables continued operability in Germany.

In partnership with one of our long-term EMEA distributors, we developed a marine C65 for a private yacht manufacturer and in Fiscal 2020 we delivered the product and also received certification from Lloyd’s Register EMEA for Lloyd’s Register Rules and Regulations for the Classification of Special Service Craft 2018 - Part 6.

We are also developing a more efficient microturbine CHP system with the support of the DOE, which awarded us a grant of $5.0 million in support of this development program, of which $4.2 million was allocated to us and was used through September 30, 2015. We successfully completed the first phase of the development program

30

on September 30, 2015 and achieved 270 kW with a prototype C250 microturbine in our development test lab. Management intends to continue with the next phase of development and commercialization after we achieve profitability. The next phase will be to continue development of the C250 product architecture, as well as the associated power electronics and software controls required for successful commercialization.

During Fiscal 2021, we continued to expand and develop our new hydrogen products. We released our first commercially available hydrogen-based combined heat and power (CHP) product, which can safely run on a 10% hydrogen-90% natural gas mix, and we are targeting a commercial release of a product that will run on a 30% hydrogen-70% natural gas mix product by March 31, 2022. In continuing these efforts, we are testing a 70% hydrogen-30% natural gas configuration through our research and development partnership with Argonne National Laboratory.

6. Cost and Core Competencies  We believe that the core competencies of our products are air-bearing technology, advanced combustion technology and sophisticated power electronics to form efficient and ultra-low emission electricity and cooling and heat production systems. Our core intellectual property is contained within our air-bearing technology. We continue to review avenues for cost reduction by sourcing to the best value supply chain option. In order to utilize manufacturing facilities and technology more effectively, we are focused on continuous improvements in manufacturing processes. Additionally, considerable effort is being directed to manufacturing cost reduction through process improvement, product design, advanced manufacturing technology, supply management and logistics. Management expects to be able to leverage our costs as product volumes increase.

Our manufacturing designs include the use of conventional technology, which has been proven in high- volume automotive and turbocharger production for many years. Many components used in the manufacture of our products are readily fabricated from commonly available raw materials or off the shelf items available from multiple supply sources; however, certain items are custom made to meet our specifications and require longer lead time. We believe that in most cases, adequate capacity exists at our suppliers and that alternative sources of supply are available or could be developed within a reasonable period of time; however, single source suppliers with long lead times may be more challenging to transition to another supplier. We regularly reassess the adequacy and abilities of our suppliers to meet our future needs.

We believe that effective execution in each of these key areas will be necessary to leverage Capstone’s promising technology and early market leadership into achieving positive cash flow with growing market presence and improving financial performance.

We currently occupy warehouse and office space in Van Nuys, California with a production capacity of approximately 2,000 units per year, depending on product mix. We believe we will be able to support this production capacity level by adding additional shifts, which would increase working capital requirements, and making some additional capital expenditures when necessary.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the condensed consolidated financial statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates. Management believes the critical accounting policies listed below affect our more significant accounting judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. These policies are described in greater detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2021 and continue to include the following areas:

● Revenue recognition;

● Inventory write-downs and classification of inventories;

● Estimates of warranty obligations;

● Accounts receivable allowances;

● Deferred tax assets and valuation allowance;

31

● Impairment of long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives; and

● Stock-based compensation expense.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

The following table summarizes our revenue by geographic markets (amounts in millions):

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020
	Revenue		Revenue
United States and Canada	$	7.4	$	8.0
Europe and Russia		4.0		3.1
Latin America		2.4		1.1
Asia and Australia		1.8		1.6
Middle East and Africa		0.5		0.4
Total	$	16.1	$	14.2

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased $1.9 million, or 13%, to $16.1 million from $14.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The $1.9 million increase was primarily driven by the $1.3 million increase in Latin America, $0.9 million increase in Europe and Russia, $0.2 million increase in Asia and Australia markets and $0.1 million in the Middle East and Africa, offset by a decrease of $0.6 million in the United States and Canada. The increase in Latin America, Europe and Russia is primarily due to increases in product shipments into the energy efficiency and natural resources vertical markets compared to the same period last year. The decrease in the United States and Canada is primarily attributable to a decrease in product shipments compared to the same period last year.

The following table summarizes our revenue (revenue amounts in millions):

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2021				2020
	Revenue		Megawatts	Units	Revenue		Megawatts	Units
Microturbine Product	$	8.3	7.4	48	$	6.1	5.2	58
Accessories		0.1				0.5
Total Product and Accessories		8.4				6.6
Parts and Service		7.7				7.6
Total	$	16.1			$	14.2

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, revenue from microturbine products and accessories increased $1.8 million, or 27%, to $8.4 million from $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily the result of more megawatts shipped, as we shipped a higher number of our C600 and C1000 Signature Series microturbine systems during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period last year. Megawatts shipped were 7.4 megawatts and 5.2 megawatts during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Average revenue per megawatt shipped was approximately $1.1 million and $1.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The timing of shipments is variable and based on several factors (including customer deposits, payments, availability of credit and delivery schedule changes), most of which are not within our control and can affect the timing of revenue recognition.

Parts and service revenue (which are part of our Energy as a Service business line and include revenue from our FPP contracts and other service revenue) increased $0.1 million, or 1%, to $7.7 million for three months ended June 30, 2021 from $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Sales to Horizon Power Systems and E-Finity accounted for 11% and 10%, respectively, of our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Sales to E-Finity and CAL each accounted for 12% of our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

32

Gross Margin  Cost of goods sold includes direct material costs, production and service center labor and overhead, inventory charges and provision for estimated product warranty expenses. Gross margin was $2.6 million, or 17% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a gross margin of $3.4 million, or 24% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease of $0.8 million was primarily because of an increase in production and service center labor and overhead expense of $0.6 million and higher inventory charges of $0.4 million, partially offset by an increase in our direct material costs margin of $0.1 million and a decrease in warranty expense of $0.1 million. Management continues to implement initiatives to improve gross margin in Fiscal 2022 by further reducing manufacturing overhead and direct material costs, and improving product performance as we work to achieve profitability.

Warranty expense is a combination of a standard warranty provision recorded at the time revenue is recognized and changes, if any, in estimates for reliability repair programs. Reliability repair programs are based upon estimates that are recorded in the period that new information becomes available, including design changes, cost of repair and product enhancements, which can include both in-warranty and out-of-warranty systems. The decrease in warranty expense of $0.1 million reflects warranty accommodations and timing of warranty claims in the current period. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company shipped approximately $2.0 million of parts to replace high risk failure parts in some of our fielded units due to a previously identified supplier defect and recorded it against the $4.9 million reserve established during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Production and service center labor and overhead expense increased $0.6 million primarily because of increases of approximately $0.3 million in labor costs, $0.4 million in facilities costs and $0.1 million in supplies expense, partially offset by $0.2 million in overhead allocated to finished goods inventory primarily as a result of lower costs from actions taken in our Business Continuity Plan in the same period last year.

Inventory charges increased $0.4 million primarily as the result of an increase in the provision for excess and obsolete inventory.

The following table summarizes our gross margin (in millions except percentages):

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2021			2020
Gross Margin
Product and accessories	$	(0.6)		$	(0.2)
As a percentage of product and accessories revenue		(7)	%		(3)	%
Parts and service	$	3.2		$	3.6
As a percentage of parts and service revenue		42	%		47	%
Total Gross Margin	$	2.6		$	3.4
As a percentage of total revenue		17	%		24	%

The decrease in product and accessories gross margin was primarily the result of a shift in product mix as well as weakness in the oil and gas market as a result of a decline in oil prices in addition to the continued movement towards clean energy and away from fossil fuels impacting capital expenditures in the natural resources market. Parts and service gross margin decreased $0.4 million primarily because of timing of FPP services performed.

Product and accessories gross margin as a percentage of product and accessories revenue decreased to (7)% during the three months ended June 30, 2021, from (3)% during the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by lower overhead costs in the three months ended June 30, 2020 due to the Business Continuity Plan. Parts and service gross margin as a percentage of parts and service revenue decreased to 42% during the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 47% during the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to lower FPP costs in the three months ended June 30, 2020 due to the timing of shipments.

Research and Development (“R&D”) Expenses increased $0.5 million, or 125%, to $0.9 million from $0.4 million as a result of lower costs from actions taken in our Business Continuity Plan in the same period last year.

33

Selling, General, and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses increased $1.8 million, or 51%, to $5.3 million from $3.5 million primarily as a result of $0.9 million lower labor costs, $0.1 million lower facilities costs and $0.1 million lower business travel expense arising from actions taken pursuant to our Business Continuity Plan in the same period last year. Additionally, marketing costs increased $0.7 million primarily due to the timing of recognition of expense related to our Indy Car sponsorship.

Interest Expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Gain on Extinguishment of Debt   The Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of the forgiveness of the PPP Loan. See Note 11 – Term Note Payable.

Other Income includes the return of $0.6 million of PPP Loan proceeds previously repaid in accordance with the Fourth Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement between the Company and Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group, L.P.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Our cash requirements depend on many factors, including the execution of our business strategy and plan. We have invested our cash in institutional funds that invest in high quality short-term money market instruments to provide liquidity for operations and for capital preservation. Our cash and cash equivalents balances decreased $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to an increase of $1.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. This $0.3 million decrease in cash during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period last year was primarily the result of increased cash used in operating activities as the same period in the prior year was impacted by cost savings from the Company’s Business Continuity Plan, as well as delays in accounts receivable collections related to the COVID-19 pandemic in the current period. Cash used in investing activities was primarily to continue the expansion of the rental fleet, which was partially offset by cash provided by financing activities from the issuance of common stock through the June 2021 common stock offering and our at-the-market offering program.

Operating Activities During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we used $10.1 million in cash in our operating activities, which consisted of a net loss for the period of $2.2 million, cash used for working capital of $7.1 million and non-cash adjustments (primarily gain on extinguishment of debt, warranty provision, accounts receivable allowance, depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation and inventory provision) of $0.8 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we used $1.9 million in cash in our operating activities, which consisted of a net loss for the period of $1.8 million and cash used for working capital of $1.1 million, offset by non-cash adjustments (primarily warranty provision, accounts receivable allowances, depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation and inventory provision) of $1.0 million.

The following is a summary of the significant sources (uses) of cash from operating activities (amounts in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020
Net loss	$	(2,182)	$	(1,823)
Non-cash operating activities(1)		(837)		1,023

Prepaid expenses, other current assets and other assets		(107)		(188)
Other changes in operating assets and liabilities		(2,720)		(1,752)
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(10,141)	$	(1,871)

(1) Represents change in gain on extinguishment of debt, warranty provision, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, inventory provision and accounts receivable allowances.

34

The change in non-cash operating activities during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period the previous year was primarily driven by the gain on extinguishment of debt resulting from the forgiveness of the PPP Loan during the first quarter of Fiscal 2022. The change in accounts receivable was primarily the result of the timing of collections. The change in inventory was primarily the result of an increase in raw materials during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The change in accounts payable and accrued expenses was primarily the result of the level of inventory receipts and timing of payments made by us during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period the previous fiscal year. The change in other operating assets and liabilities during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year, was primarily the result of decrease in our accrued warranty reserve as we had additional spend for the reliability repair program.

Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities of $1.2 million and $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related primarily to the additions of our rental fleet of approximately $1.2 million and zero, respectively. The remaining amounts were primarily for sustaining our production and facilities.

Financing Activities During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we generated cash of approximately $11.0 million from financing activities compared to cash generated during the three months ended June 30, 2020 of approximately $3.1 million. The funds generated from financing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2021 were primarily the result of net proceeds from the June 2021 common stock offering and proceeds from the at-the-market offering program described below. The funds generated from financing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2020 were primarily the result of net borrowings under the PPP loan, as well as proceeds from the at-the-market offering program.

At-the-market offerings

On June 7, 2018, the Company entered into a sales agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Sales Agreement”) with respect to an at-the-market offering program (the “ATM Program”) pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time at its sole discretion, shares of its Common Stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $25.0 million. The Company will set the parameters for sales of the shares, including the number to be sold, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number that may be sold in one trading day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. On July 15, 2020, we entered into an amendment to the Sales Agreement, which modified the Sales Agreement to, among other things, amend the termination provisions of the Agreement and amend the maximum amount of shares of our Common Stock that we may offer and sell through or to H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC from time to time under the ATM Program. On March 19, 2021, we entered into a second amendment to the Sales Agreement, which modified the Sales Agreement to, among other things, reflect the Company’s filing of a new Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the SEC on March 22, 2021 and set the maximum amount of shares of our Common Stock that we may offer and sell through or to H.C. Wainwright at $50 million, subject to certain limitations set forth in the amendment. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued 89,633 shares of the Company’s Common Stock under the at-the-market offering program and the net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Company’s Common Stock were approximately $0.7 million after deducting commissions paid of approximately $23,000. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $49.3 million remained available for issuance with respect to this ATM Program.

Common Stock Offering

On June 17, 2021, the Company entered into an amended and restated underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Underwriter”) whereby the Company agreed to sell to the Underwriter, and the Underwriter agreed to purchase, in a firm commitment underwritten public offering 1,904,763 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Offering”). The offering price to the public in the Offering was $5.25 per share of Common Stock, and the Underwriter agreed to purchase the Shares from the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at a price of $4.91 per share, representing an underwriting discount of 6.5%. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted the Underwriter an option to purchase, for a period of 30 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement, up to an additional 285,714 shares of Common Stock (the “Option Shares”). On June 21, 2021, the Underwriter exercised the option in full. The Offering closed on June 22, 2021, and the Company received net proceeds of $10.5 million after deducting $1.0 million underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses paid by the Company.

Warrants

Series A Warrants

As of June 30, 2021, there were 217,875 Series A warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $25.50 per share of Common Stock, and have an expiration date of October 25, 2021.

Goldman Warrant

On February 4, 2019, we sold to Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (the “Holder”), a Purchase Warrant for shares of our common stock (the “Warrant”) pursuant to which the Holder may purchase shares of the Company’s common stock in an aggregate amount of up to 404,634 shares (the “Warrant Shares”). Our common stock and warrant transactions during Fiscal 2021 triggered certain anti-dilution provisions in the warrants outstanding. As of June 30, 2021, the Holder may purchase shares of the Company’s common stock in an aggregate amount of up to 463,067 shares at an exercise price of $2.61.

Goldman “2020 Warrant”

On October 1, 2020, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 3 to the Purchase Warrant for shares of our common stock (the “Amendment No. 3”) with Special Situations Investing Group II, LLC (as successor in interest to Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC) (the “Warrant Holder”) that amended that certain Purchase Warrant for shares of our common stock originally issued by the Company to Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, dated February 4, 2019, as amended (the “Original Warrant”). As of June 30, 2021, the holder may purchase shares of the Company’s common stock in an aggregate amount of up to 291,295 shares at an exercise price of $4.76.

September 2019 Pre-Funded and Series D Warrants

On September 4, 2019, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional and accredited investors pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell in a registered direct offering (the “Registered Direct Offering”) an aggregate of 580,000 shares of our common stock at a negotiated purchase price of $5.00 per share, and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 440,000 shares of our common stock at a negotiated purchase price of $5.00 per Pre-Funded Warrant, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5.1 million (580,000 shares of common stock plus 440,000 pre-funded warrants at a $5.00 per share purchase price), before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses.

In a concurrent private placement, we agreed to issue to the purchasers warrants to purchase 765,000 shares of common stock, which represent 75% of the number of shares of common stock and shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants purchased in the Registered Direct Offering, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Common Warrants are exercisable for shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $6.12 per share for a period of five years, starting on April 2, 2020 and expiring on April 2, 2025. In January 2021, three warrant holders exercised their rights to the warrant agreement to exercise on a cashless basis 690,000 Series D warrants at an exercise price of $6.12 per share under the warrant agreement. In accordance with terms of the warrant agreement, after taking into account the shares withheld to satisfy the cashless exercise option, we issued 352,279 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2021, there were 75,000 Series D warrants outstanding at an exercise price of $6.12.

There were no stock options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Repurchases of shares of our Common Stock for employee taxes due on vesting of restricted stock units, net of employee stock purchases, resulted in approximately $29,000 and $4,000 of net cash used during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Three-year Term Note On February 4, 2019, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement, by and among us, certain subsidiaries of us as guarantors, Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Holdings, Inc., as collateral agent and any other Purchasers party thereto from time to time, in connection with the sale of our senior secured notes in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Under the Note Purchase Agreement, we sold to the Purchaser $30.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes (the “Notes”). The first interest payment on the Notes was on March 31, 2019. On October 1, 2020, pursuant to A&R Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued an additional $20 million in Notes, increasing total borrowings to $50.0 million. . Following entry into the A&R Note Purchase Agreement, all outstanding Notes bear interest at the Adjusted (London Interbank Offer) LIBO Rate (as

36

defined in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement) plus 8.75% per annum The Notes do not amortize and the entire principal balance is due in a single payment on the maturity date. As of June 30, 2021, $50.9 million in borrowings were outstanding under the Notes, which includes the accrual for an exit fee to be paid at maturity or upon pre-payment. Pursuant to the First Amendment to the A&R Note Purchase dated as of May 13, 2021, the minimum consolidated liquidity requirement increased from $9.0 million to $12.0 million. As of June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with the covenants contained in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan  On April 15, 2020, we applied for an unsecured PPP Loan in the principal amount of $2,610,200 under the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program enabled by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020. On April 24, 2020, we entered into a promissory note with Western Alliance Bank. The Company received the full amount of the PPP Loan on April 24, 2020. In accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act, we intend to use proceeds from the PPP Loan to support fixed costs such as payroll costs, rent and utilities. On May 13, 2020, we repaid $660,200 of the PPP Loan in accordance with the Fourth Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement between the Company and Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group, L.P.

In February 2021, the Company applied for forgiveness of the PPP Loan. In June 2021, the Company received notification that its request for forgiveness of the PPP Loan was approved in full. In June 2021, the Company also received a refund of the $660,200 previously repaid in accordance with the Fourth Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement between the Company and Goldman Sachs Specialty Group, L.P.

Working Capital and Other Operating Assets and Liabilities Cash used for working capital was $7.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $6.0 million from the cash used for working capital of $1.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. These increases in cash used for working capital and other operating assets and liabilities were primarily due to increases in inventory and accounts receivable, partially offset by changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Evaluation of Ability to Maintain Current Level of Operations  In connection with the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements for the three ended June 30, 2021, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about our ability to meet obligations as they became due over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of our first quarter of Fiscal 2022 interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Management assessed that there were such conditions and events, including a history of recurring operating losses, negative cash flows from operating activities, the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, volatility of the global oil and gas markets, a strong U.S. dollar in certain markets making its products more expensive in such markets and ongoing global geopolitical tensions. We incurred a net loss of $2.2 million and used net cash in operating activities of $10.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Our net loss expanded during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to increases in selling, general and administrative expense driven by the impacts of the enactment of our Business Continuity Plan in the same period last year, partially offset by the gain on extinguishment of debt as a result of forgiveness of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan (see Note 11 – Term Note Payable for further discussion of the PPP loan). Cash used for working capital requirements for the quarter were primarily for increases in inventory, which was primarily due to our intent to grow our long-term rental fleet from 10.6 MW to 21.1 MW during Fiscal 2022, as well as the delayed timing of accounts receivable collections due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, we used cash to replace parts under our reliability repair program established during the fourth quarter for Fiscal 2021. As of June 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $49.2 million, and outstanding debt of $50.9 million at fair value (see Note 11 – Term Note Payable for further discussion of the outstanding debt).

Depending on the timing of our future sales and collection of related receivables, managing inventory costs and the timing of inventory purchases and deliveries required to fulfill the backlog, our future capital requirements may vary materially from those now planned. The amount of capital that we will need in the future will require us to achieve significantly increased sales volume which is dependent on many factors, including:

● the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and specifically on oil and gas markets;

● the market acceptance of our products and services;

● our business, product and capital expenditure plans;

● capital improvements to new and existing facilities;

37

● our competitors’ response to our products and services;

● our relationships with customers, distributors, dealers and project resellers; and

● our customers’ ability to afford and/or finance our products.

Our accounts receivable balance, net of allowances, was $23.9 million and $20.6 million as of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively. Days sales outstanding in accounts receivable (“DSO”) increased by 41 days to 135 days as of June 30, 2021 compared to 94 days as of June 30, 2020, primarily due to delays in accounts receivable collections related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

No assurance can be given that future bad debt expense will not increase above current operating levels. Increased bad debt expense or delays in collecting accounts receivable could have a material adverse effect on cash flows and results of operations. In addition, our ability to access the capital markets may be severely restricted or made very expensive at a time when we need, or would like, to do so, which could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and financial resources. Certain industries in which our customers do business and certain geographic areas have been and could continue to be adversely affected by the previously referenced economic and geopolitical considerations.

Based on the Company’s current operating plan, management anticipates that, given current working capital levels, current financial projections and funds received under debt agreements as further described in Note 11 of the financial statements, and funds received under offerings of common stock as further described in Note 9 of the financial statements, the Company will be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due over the twelve months from June 30, 2021.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 3 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) for information regarding new accounting standards.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this Item.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2021. The term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of ours that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

38

Inherent limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Control

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

OF

CAPSTONE GREEN ENERGY CORPORATION

(Conformed copy incorporating all amendments through April 21, 2021)

CAPSTONE GREEN ENERGY CORPORATION, a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), does hereby certify:

FIRST:The name of the Corporation is Capstone Green Energy Corporation and the date of filing of the original Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware is March 9, 2000.

SECOND:Pursuant to Section 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation amends and restates the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation. This Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was duly approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors and was duly approved by the holders of the requisite number of shares of the Corporation in accordance with Sections 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and was consented to in writing by the written consent of stockholders of the Corporation in accordance with Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The number of shares voting in favor of such amendment and restatement equaled or exceeded the vote required, such required vote being a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

THIRD:The text of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

ARTICLE I.

The name of the corporation is Capstone Green Energy Corporation (the “Corporation”).

ARTICLE II.

The nature of the business or purposes to be conducted or promoted is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

ARTICLE III.

(a)The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of shares to be designated, respectively, “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock.” The total number of shares which the

Corporation shall have authority to issue is fifty-two million five hundred thousand (52,500,000) shares. The total number of shares of Common Stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is fifty-one million three five hundred thousand (51,500,000) shares, and the par value of each share of Common Stock is one-tenth of one cent ($0.001). The total number of shares of Preferred Stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is one million (1,000,000) shares, and the par value of each share of Preferred Stock is one-tenth of one cent ($0.001). The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time, in one or more series, each series to be appropriately designated by a distinguishing letter or title, prior to the issue of any shares thereof. Effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date of the filing of this Certificate of Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “Effective Time”), each ten (10) shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at such time shall be combined into one (1) share of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The par value of the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split shall remain $0.001 per share. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders of record who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares, will be entitled to rounding up of their fractional share to the nearest whole share. Each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Common Stock (an “Old Certificate”) shall thereafter represent that number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Common Stock represented by the Old Certificate shall have been combined, subject to the elimination of fractional share interests as described above.

(b)The Board of Directors is hereby authorized to fix or alter the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions, if any), the redemption price or prices, the liquidation preferences, any other designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock, and the number of shares constituting any such unissued series and the designation thereof, or any of them; and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. In case the number of shares of any series shall be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status which they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

ARTICLE IV.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, repeal, alter, amend and rescind the bylaws of the Corporation.

ARTICLE V.

Notwithstanding Article IV hereof, the bylaws may be rescinded, altered, amended or repealed in any respect by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation, voting together as a single class.

2

ARTICLE VI.

The Board of Directors shall have that number of Directors set out in the bylaws of the Corporation as adopted or as set from time to time by a duly adopted amendment thereto by the Board of Directors or stockholders of the Corporation acting in accordance with Article V.

ARTICLE VII.

In the event of any increase or decrease in the number of directors, each director then serving as such shall nevertheless continue as a director until the expiration of his or her current term, or his or her prior death, retirement, resignation or removal.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Article VII, each director shall serve until his successor is elected and qualified or until his death, retirement, resignation or removal. Should a vacancy occur or be created, the remaining directors (even though less than a quorum) may fill the vacancy for the remaining term of the occurring or created vacancy.

ARTICLE VIII.

Elections of directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders need not be by written ballot unless the bylaws of the Corporation shall so provide.

ARTICLE IX.

No action shall be taken by the stockholders except at a duly convened annual or special meeting of stockholders. The stockholders may not take action by written consent.

ARTICLE X.

Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors, or by a committee of the Board of Directors which has been duly designated by the Board of Directors and whose powers and authority, as provided in a resolution of the Board of Directors or in the Bylaws of the Corporation, include the power to call such meetings, but such special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons; provided, however, that if and to the extent that any special meeting of stockholders may be called by any other person or persons specified in any certificate filed under Section 151(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, then such special meeting may also be called by the person or persons, in the manner, at the times and for the purposes so specified.

ARTICLE XI.

The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred on stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation; provided, however, that no amendment, alteration, change or repeal may be made to Article V, VI, VII, IX, X or this Article XI without the affirmative vote of the

3

holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66%) of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation, voting together as a single class.

ARTICLE XII.

Each reference in this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law refers to the specified provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same now exists or as it may hereafter be amended or superseded.

ARTICLE XIII.

To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance indemnification expenses on behalf of all directors and officers of the Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify such other persons as may be required by statute or by the bylaws of the Corporation. The Corporation may, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any director or officer, or such other person as may be permitted by statute or the bylaws of the Corporation, against any liability which may be asserted against any director, officer or such other person and may enter into contracts providing for the indemnification of any director, officer or such other person to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. The liability of directors of the Corporation (for actions or inactions taken by them as directors) for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

If the Delaware General Corporation Law is hereafter amended to authorize corporate action further limiting or eliminating the personal liability of directors, then the liability of the director to the Corporation shall be limited or eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended from time to time. Any repeal or modification of this Article XIII by the stockholders of the Corporation shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

FOURTH:Thereafter, pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors, this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was duly approved by the holders of the necessary number of shares of the Company’s voting securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 228, 242 and 245 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“generally accepted accounting principles” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2021 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal year ended March 31, 2021. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year 2021 filed with the SEC on June 14, 2021. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) refers to the Company’s fiscal years ending March 31 as its “Fiscal” years.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s financial statements to enhance comparability with the current year’s financial statements. As a result, certain line items have been amended in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the current year’s presentation. The items were reclassified as follows (in thousands):

	Previously Reported			After Reclassification
	Three Months Ended June 30, 2020			Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
Product, accessories and parts	$	8,936	Product and accessories	$	6,606
Service		5,257	Parts and service		7,587
Total revenue	$	14,193	Total revenue	$	14,193

Significant Accounting Policies  There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal Year 2021 filed with the SEC on June 14, 2021, that have had a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Evaluation of Ability to Maintain Current Level of Operations  In connection with the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2021, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they became due over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of the Company’s first quarter of Fiscal 2022 interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Management assessed that there were such conditions and events, including a history of recurring operating losses, negative cash flows from operating activities, the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, volatility of the global oil and gas markets, a strong U.S. dollar in certain markets making its products more expensive in such markets and ongoing global geopolitical tensions. The Company incurred a net loss of $2.2 million and used net cash in operating activities of $10.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Cash used for working capital requirements for the quarter were primarily for increases in inventory, which was primarily due to the Company’s intent to grow its long-term rental fleet from 10.6 MW to 21.1 MW during Fiscal 2022, as well as the delayed timing of accounts receivable collections due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the Company used cash to replace parts under its reliability repair program established during the fourth quarter for Fiscal 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $49.2 million, and outstanding debt of $50.9 million at fair value (see Note 11 – Term Note Payable for further discussion of the outstanding debt).

Management evaluated these conditions in relation to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s ability to continue current operations and to execute on management’s plans is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations. While no assurances can be provided, management believes that the Company will continue to make progress on its path to profitability by continuing to maintain low operating expenses and develop its geographical and vertical markets. The Company may seek to raise funds by selling additional securities (through at-the-market offerings or otherwise). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds on commercially favorable terms or at all. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing additional equity, the fully diluted ownership percentages of existing stockholders will be reduced. In addition, any equity that the Company would issue may include rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of its Common Stock.

Based on the Company’s current operating plan, management anticipates that, given current working capital levels, current financial projections and funds received under debt agreements as further described in Note 11 – Term Note Payable, and funds received under offerings of common stock as further described in Note 9 – Offerings of Common Stock and Warrants, the Company will be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of the Company’s first quarter of Fiscal 2022 interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Company Response to COVID-19

In March 2020, the Company began to monitor the global effects of COVID-19, the worldwide spread of which led the World Health Organization (“WHO”) to characterize it as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Thereafter, most U.S. states imposed “stay-at-home” orders on their populations to stem the spread of COVID-19. Of specific interest to the Company, stay-at-home orders were imposed in the state of California on March 20, 2020.

On March 23, 2020 the Company enacted a Business Continuity Plan in response to COVID-19. Beginning March 30, 2020, the Company furloughed 52 employees, leaving behind only staff deemed essential for day-to-day administrative operations for a minimum period of 45 days. The Company’s Leadership Team volunteered to take a 25% temporary salary cut. In addition, 25 other top Company managers volunteered to take a similar 15% reduction in salary. Several employees returned to work June 1, 2020, most with the 15% voluntary salary cuts, with others returning in a staggered manner through the end of September 2020. Additionally, in March 2020, the Board voted to take a temporary 25% reduction in base cash retainer in support of the Company’s Business Continuity Plan. As a result of the continued global economic slowdown due to COVID-19 and the associated decline in global crude oil prices, the Company eliminated 26 positions on June 1, 2020. During the period of March 30, 2020 to June 1, 2020, the Company had limited production capability of new microturbine products, but had pre-built approximately 5.9 MW of microturbine finished goods during March 2020 for shipment during this period of suspended production. On September 28, 2020 salaries were returned to 100% and remaining furloughed employees returned to work. The Company’s vendor supply chain has also been impacted by the pandemic; however, the Company has been able to maintain sufficient supply flow to continue operations as of the date hereof.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (the “CARES Act”), which, among other things, outlines the provisions of the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”). The Company determined that it met the criteria to be eligible to obtain a loan under the PPP because, among other reasons, in light of the COVID-19 outbreak and the uncertainty of economic conditions related thereto, the loan was necessary to support the Company’s ongoing operations. Under the PPP, the Company could obtain a U.S. Small Business Administration loan in an amount equal to the average of the Company’s monthly payroll costs (as defined under the PPP) for calendar 2019 multiplied by 2.5 (approximately 10 weeks of payroll costs). Section 1106 of the CARES Act contains provisions for the forgiveness of all or a portion of a PPP loan, subject to the satisfaction of certain requirements. The amount eligible for forgiveness is, subject to certain limitations, the sum of the Company’s payroll costs, rent and utilities paid by the Company during the eight-week period beginning on the funding date of the PPP loan.

On April 24, 2020, the Company closed on a PPP loan in the amount of $2,610,200, which was transferred by the Company into an account dedicated to allowable uses of the PPP loan proceeds. On May 13, 2020, the Company repaid $660,200 of the loan in accordance with the Fourth Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement between the Company and Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group, L.P. In February 2021, the Company applied for forgiveness in full of the original balance of the PPP loan and the loan was forgiven in full on June 30, 2021, and the Company received a refund of $660,200.

Basis for Consolidation  These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Capstone Turbine International, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary that was formed in June 2004 and Capstone Turbine Financial Services, LLC, its wholly owned subsidiary that was formed in October 2015, after elimination of inter-company transactions.

3.  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The new guidance removes certain exceptions to the general principles of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 in order to simplify the complexities of its application. These changes include eliminations to the exceptions for intraperiod tax allocation, recognizing deferred tax liabilities related to outside basis differences, and year-to-date losses in interim periods, among others. The effective date of this guidance for public companies is for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on April 1, 2021 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Not yet adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The amendments in this ASU reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock in order to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments and reduce complexity. In addition, it amends the guidance for scope exception surrounding derivatives for contracts in an entity’s own equity. In each case, the related guidance surrounding EPS has also been amended. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Other standards issued but not yet effective, which are not discussed, are not considered material to the Company.

Stock Plans

2000 Equity Incentive Plan and 2017 Equity Incentive Plan

In June 2017, the Company’s Board adopted the Capstone Green Energy Corporation 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), which was approved by the stockholders at the Company’s 2017 annual meeting of stockholders on August 31, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Meeting”). The 2017 Plan provides for awards of up to 300,000 shares of Common Stock. The 2017 Plan is administered by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee designated by the Board (the “Compensation Committee”). The Compensation Committee’s authority includes determining the number of incentive awards and vesting provisions. On June 5, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted an amendment of the 2017 Plan to increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan by 300,000 shares of Common Stock. The amendment of the 2017 Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders on August 30, 2018. Since this time, the Company’s stockholders have approved amendments to increase the aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan by an additional 800,000 shares of Common Stock.

As of June 30, 2021, there were 452,305 shares available for future grants under the 2017 Plan.

 On June 2, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved, Amendment No. 4 (the “Plan Amendment”) to the 2017 Plan, subject to stockholder approval, to increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan by 500,000 and is submitting the Plan Amendment to the stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting to be held on August 27, 2021.

Restricted Stock Units and Performance Restricted Stock Units

The Company issued restricted stock units under the Company’s 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, as well as issued (and may in the future issue) restricted stock units under the 2017 Plan to employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The restricted stock units are valued based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date

of issuance, and compensation cost is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The restricted stock units issued to employees vest over a period of two, three or four years. For restricted stock units with two year vesting, 100% vests on the second year anniversary. For restricted stock units with three year vesting, one-third vest annually beginning one year after the issuance date. For restricted stock units with four year vesting, one-fourth vest annually beginning one year after the issuance date. The restricted stock units issued to non-employee directors vest one year after the issuance date. The following table summarizes restricted stock unit and performance restricted stock unit (“PRSU”) activity during the three months ended June 30, 2021:

		Weighted
		Average Grant
		Date Fair
Restricted Stock Units and Performance Restricted Stock Units	Shares	Value
Non-vested restricted stock units outstanding at March 31, 2021	497,281	$	5.65

Restricted stock units expected to vest beyond June 30, 2021	629,557	$	5.77

The following table provides additional information on restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units:

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020
Restricted stock compensation expense (in thousands)	$	305	$	210
Aggregate fair value of restricted stock units vested and issued (in thousands)	$	160	$	22
Weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock units granted during the period	$	6.35	$	—

As of June 30, 2021, there was approximately $2.5 million of total compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units that is expected to be recognized as expense over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.

The Company’s PRSU activity is included in the above restricted stock units tables. The PRSU program has a three-year performance measurement period. The performance measurement period begins on April 1 of the first fiscal year and end on March 31 of the third fiscal year after the grant date. The program is intended to have overlapping performance measurement periods (e.g., a new three-year cycle begins each year on April 1), subject to Compensation Committee approval. At the end of each performance measurement period, the Compensation Committee will determine the achievement against the performance objectives.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted 35,986 PRSUs with a three-year performance measurement period. The target PRSU awards for each participant, will be paid upon achievement of the target level of performance for aftermarket sales absorption and payoff or refinancing of its debt with a reduced rate, taking into account the applicable weighting for the individual metric. Achievement of a performance goal at the threshold level will result in a payment that is 50% of the target PRSU award. Achievement of a performance goal at the maximum level will result in a payment that is 150% of the target PRSU award. The Compensation Committee will use an interpolation table that weights performance between levels for determining the portion of the Target PRSU that is earned. There were no PRSUs granted during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

The weighted average per share grant date fair value of PRSUs granted during the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $8.39. Based on the Company’s assessment as of June 30, 2021, the Company does not expect to meet the threshold of the performance measurements for the Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2020 PRSUs, and as a result, no compensation expense was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Compensation expense is recognized over the corresponding requisite service period and will be adjusted in subsequent reporting periods if the Company’s assessment of the probable level of achievement of the performance goals change. The Company will continue to assess the likelihood of the PRSU threshold being met until the end of the applicable performance period.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In June 2000, the Company adopted the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP provides for the granting of rights to purchase Common Stock to regular full and part-time employees or officers of the Company and its subsidiaries. In June 2017, the Board unanimously approved an amendment and restatement to the ESPP which was approved by the stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders on August 31, 2017. Prior to the amendment, 7,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock had been reserved for issuance. As amended, the ESPP continued by its terms and the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock available increased by 50,000 shares which reserved for issuance a total of 57,000 shares of common stock. Under the ESPP, shares of the Company’s Common Stock are issued upon exercise of the purchase rights. The maximum amount that an employee can contribute during a purchase right period is $25,000 or 15% of the employee’s regular compensation. Under the ESPP, the exercise price of a purchase right is 95% of the fair market value of such shares on the last day of the purchase right period. The fair market value of the stock is its closing price as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the day in question. The ESPP was terminated as of December 31, 2020.

Stockholder Rights Plan

On May 6, 2019, the Board declared a dividend of one right (a “New Right”) for each of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The dividend was paid to the stockholders of record at the close of business on May 16, 2019 (the “Record Date”). Each New Right entitles the registered holder, subject to the terms of the NOL Rights Agreement (as defined below), to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of the Company’s Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) at a price of $5.22 (the “Exercise Price”), subject to certain adjustments. The description and terms of the New Rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement dated as of May 6, 2019 (the “NOL Rights Agreement”) between the Company and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agent”).

The NOL Rights Agreement replaced the Company’s Rights Agreement, dated May 6, 2016, by and between the Company and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., as successor-in-interest to Computershare Inc., as rights agent (the “Original Rights Agreement”). The Original Rights Agreement, and the rights thereunder to purchase fractional shares of Preferred Stock, expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 6, 2019 and the NOL Rights Agreement was entered into immediately thereafter.

The purpose of the NOL Rights Agreement is to diminish the risk that the Company’s ability to use its net operating losses and certain other tax assets (collectively, “Tax Benefits”) to reduce potential future federal income tax obligations would become subject to limitations by reason of the Company’s experiencing an “ownership change,” as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”). A company generally experiences such an ownership change if the percentage of its stock owned by its “5-percent shareholders,” as defined in Section 382 of the Tax Code, increases by more than 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. The NOL Rights Agreement is designed to reduce the likelihood that the Company will experience an ownership change under Section 382 of the Tax Code by (i) discouraging any person or group from becoming a 4.9% or greater shareholder and (ii) discouraging any existing 4.9% or greater shareholder from acquiring additional shares of the Company’s stock.

The New Rights will not be exercisable until the earlier to occur of (i) the close of business on the tenth business day after a public announcement or filing that a person has, or group of affiliated or associated persons have, become an “Acquiring Person,” which is defined as a person or group of affiliated or associated persons who, at any time after the date of the NOL Rights Agreement, have acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 4.9% or more of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, subject to certain exceptions or (ii) the close of business on the tenth business day after the commencement of, or announcement of an intention to commence, a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in any person becoming an Acquiring Person (the earlier of such dates being called the “Distribution Date”). Certain synthetic interests in securities created by derivative positions, whether or not such interests are considered to be ownership of the underlying Common Stock or are reportable for purposes of Regulation 13D of the Exchange Act, are treated as beneficial ownership of the number of shares of Common Stock equivalent to the economic exposure created by the derivative position, to the extent actual shares of the Common Stock are directly or indirectly held by counterparties to the derivatives contracts.

With respect to certificates representing shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date, until the Distribution Date, the New Rights will be evidenced by such certificates for shares of common stock registered in the names of the holders thereof, and not by separate Rights Certificates, as described further below. With respect to book

entry shares of common stock outstanding as of the Record Date, until the Distribution Date, the New Rights will be evidenced by the balances indicated in the book entry account system of the transfer agent for the common stock. Until the earlier of the Distribution Date and the Expiration Date, as described below, the transfer of any shares of common stock outstanding on the Record Date will also constitute the transfer of the New Rights associated with such shares of common stock. As soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, separate certificates evidencing the New Rights (“Right Certificates”) will be mailed to holders of record of the common stock as of the close of business on the Distribution Date, and such Right Certificates alone will evidence the New Rights.

The New Rights, which are not exercisable until the Distribution Date, will expire prior to the earliest of (i) May 6, 2022 or such later day as may be established by the Board prior to the expiration of the New Rights, provided that the extension is submitted to the Company’s stockholders for ratification at the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company succeeding such extension; (ii) the time at which the New Rights are redeemed pursuant to the NOL Rights Agreement; (iii) the time at which the New Rights are exchanged pursuant to the NOL Rights Agreement; (iv) the time at which the New Rights are terminated upon the occurrence of certain transactions; (v) the close of business on the first day after the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders, if approval by the stockholders of the Company of the NOL Rights Agreement has not been obtained on or prior to the close of business on the first day after the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders; (vi) the close of business on the effective date of the repeal of Section 382 of the Tax Code, if the Board determines that the NOL Rights Agreement is no longer necessary or desirable for the preservation of Tax Benefits; and (vii) the close of business on the first day of a taxable year of the Company to which the Board determines that no Tax Benefits are available to be carried forward, (the earliest of (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) is referred to as the “Expiration Date”).

Each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled, when, as and if declared, to a preferential per share quarterly dividend payment equal to the greater of (i) $1.00 per share or (ii) an amount equal to 1,000 times the aggregate quarterly dividend declared per share of Common Stock since the immediately preceding quarterly dividend payment date for the Common Stock (or, with respect to the first quarterly dividend payment on the Common Stock, since the first issuance of the Preferred Stock). Each share of Preferred Stock will entitle the holder thereof to 1,000 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company. In the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which shares of Common Stock are converted or exchanged, each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive 1,000 times the amount received per one share of Common Stock.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

10. Fair Value Measurements

The FASB has established a framework for measuring fair value using generally accepted accounting principles. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

(level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1.  Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2. Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

● Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets

● Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets

● Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability

● Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3.  Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Basis for Valuation

The carrying values reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

On October 1, 2020, the Company entered into an Amended & Restated Note Purchase Agreement (the “A&R Note Purchase Agreement”). The A&R Note Purchase Agreement amends and restates that certain Note Purchase Agreement, as amended, dated February 4, 2019, by and among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors, the Collateral Agent and various purchasers party thereto. Under the A&R Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued an additional $20 million in Notes, increasing total borrowings to $50 million. Following entry into the A&R Note Purchase Agreement, all outstanding Notes bear interest at the Adjusted (London Interbank Offer) LIBO Rate (as defined in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement) plus 8.75% per annum, payable on the last day of each interest period of one-, two-, three- or six-months (but, in the case of a six-month interest period, every three-months). The Notes do not amortize and the entire principal balance is due in a single payment on the maturity date, October 1, 2023. As of June 30, 2021, $50.9 million in borrowings were outstanding under the Notes, which includes the accrual for an exit fee to be paid at maturity or upon pre-payment. Obligations under the A&R Note Purchase Agreement are secured by all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets, including intellectual property and general intangibles.

The Notes have been recorded net of a discount based on the debt issuance costs totaling $0.1 million. Amortization of the debt discount and debt issuance costs was $9,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, based on an effective interest rate, and has been recorded as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Interest expense related to the Notes payable during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $1.2 million and $1.3 million, and includes $9,000 and $0.3 million in amortization of debt issuance costs, respectively.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On April 15, 2020, the Company submitted an application to its banking partner Western Alliance Bank, an Arizona corporation (“Western Alliance”) under the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) enabled by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020 (the “CARES Act”). Western Alliance entered into a note on April 24, 2020 with the Company and agreed to make available to the Company a loan in the amount of $2,610,200 (the “PPP Loan”). The Company received the full amount of the PPP Loan on April 24, 2020 (the “Initial Disbursement Date) and has used the proceeds to support fixed costs such as payroll costs, rent and utilities in accordance with the relevant terms and conditions of the CARES Act. The advance under the Loan bears interest at a rate per annum of 1%. The term of the PPP Loan is two years, ending April 24, 2022.

On May 13, 2020, the Company repaid $660,200 of the PPP Loan in accordance with the Fourth Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement between the Company and Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group, L.P.

In February 2021, the Company applied for forgiveness of the PPP Loan and the loan was forgiven in full on June 30, 2021 (See “Gain on extinguishment of debt” below).

Gain on extinguishment of debt   In June 2021, the Company received notification from Western Alliance that the SBA approved forgiveness of the PPP loan in its entirety. The Company accounted for forgiveness on the PPP Loan in accordance with ASC 470 and recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of $1.9 million debt on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

In June 2021, the Company also received a refund of the $660,200 previously repaid in accordance with the Fourth Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement between the Company and Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group, L.P. and recorded these amounts within other income on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Accrued Warranty Reserve

Accrued Warranty Reserve

12. Accrued Warranty Reserve

The Company provides for the estimated costs of warranties at the time revenue is recognized. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the microturbine product sold and the geography of sale. The Company’s product warranties generally start from the delivery date and continue for up to twenty-four months. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty obligation include product failure rates, anticipated hours of product operations and costs of repair or replacement in correcting product failures. These factors are estimates that may change based on new information that becomes available each period. Similarly, the Company also accrues the estimated costs to address reliability repairs on products no longer in warranty when, in the Company’s judgment, and in accordance with a specific plan developed by the Company, it is prudent to provide such repairs. The Company assesses the adequacy of recorded warranty liabilities quarterly and makes adjustments to the liability as necessary. When the Company has sufficient evidence that product changes are altering the historical failure occurrence rates, the impact of such changes is then taken into account in estimating future warranty liabilities. Changes in the accrued warranty reserve are as follows (in thousands):

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

13. Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenues primarily from system sales, service contracts and professional services. Revenues are recognized when control of the systems and services is transferred to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services.

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

● Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer

● Identification of the performance obligations in the contract

● Determination of the transaction price

● Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

● Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation

The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations identified under the terms of contracts with its customers are satisfied, which generally occurs, for systems, upon the transfer of control in accordance with the contractual terms and conditions of the sale. The majority of the Company’s revenue associated with systems is recognized at a point in time when the system is shipped to the customer. Revenue from service contracts and post-shipment performance obligations is recognized when or as those obligations are satisfied. The Company primarily offers assurance-type standard warranties that do not represent separate performance obligations and will separately offer and price extended warranties that are separate performance obligations for which the associated revenue is recognized over-time based on the extended warranty period. The Company records amounts billed to customers for reimbursement of shipping and handling costs within revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a system has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of goods sold. Sales taxes and other usage-based taxes are excluded from revenue.

Comprehensive Factory Protection Plan (“FPP”) service contracts require payment at the beginning of the contract period. Advance payments are not considered a significant financing component as they are typically received less than one year before the related performance obligations are satisfied. These payments are treated as a contract liability and are classified in deferred revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Once control transfers to the customer and the Company meets the revenue recognition criteria, the deferred revenue is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The deferred revenue relating to the annual maintenance service contracts is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the contract.

Significant Judgments - Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations

The Company enters into contracts with its customers that often include promises to transfer multiple products, parts, accessories, FPP and services. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer products or services that are distinct. Determining whether products and services are distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately or combined as one unit of accounting may require significant judgment.

Products, parts and accessories are distinct as such services are often sold separately. In determining whether FPP and service contracts are distinct, the Company considers the following factors for each FPP and services agreement: availability of the services from other vendors, the nature of the services, the timing of when the services contract was signed in comparison to the product delivery date and the contractual dependence of the product on the customer’s satisfaction with the professional services work. To date, the Company has concluded that all of the FPP and services contracts included in contracts with multiple performance obligations are distinct.

The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) basis. The SSP is the price at which the Company would sell a promised product or service separately to a customer. Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation.

The Company determines SSP by considering its overall pricing objectives and market conditions. Significant pricing practices taken into consideration include the Company’s discounting practices, the size and volume of the Company’s transactions, the customer demographic, the geographic area where systems and services are sold, price lists, its go-to-market strategy, historical sales and contract prices. The determination of SSP is made through consultation with and approval by the Company’s management, taking into consideration the go-to-market strategy. As the Company’s go-

to-market strategies evolve, the Company may modify its pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes to SSP.

In certain cases, the Company is able to establish SSP based on observable prices of products or services sold separately in comparable circumstances to similar customers. The Company uses a single amount to estimate SSP when it has observable prices.

If SSP is not directly observable, for example when pricing is highly variable, the Company uses a range of SSP. The Company determines the SSP range using information that may include market conditions or other observable inputs. The Company typically has more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customer size and geography.

Contract Balances

The Company’s contract liabilities consist of advance payments for systems as well as deferred revenue on service obligations and extended warranties. The current portion of deferred revenue is included in current liabilities under deferred revenue and the non-current portion of deferred revenue is included in other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of June 30, 2021, the balance of deferred revenue was approximately $6.7 million compared to $7.1 million as of March 31, 2021. The overall decrease in the balance of deferred revenue of $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 was comprised of decreases in deferred revenue attributable to the Distributor Support System (“DSS

program”) of $0.4 million and FPP contracts of $0.3 million, offset by an increase in deposits of $0.3 million. Changes in deferred revenue are as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	June 30,		March 31,
	2021		2021
FPP Balance, beginning of the period	$	4,765	$	4,864

DSS Program		973		1,417
Deposits		1,263		957
Deferred revenue balance, end of the period	$	6,734	$	7,139

Deferred revenue attributed to FPP contracts represents the unearned portion of the Company’s contracts. FPP contracts are generally paid quarterly in advance with revenue recognized on a straight line basis over the contract period. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $4.5 million of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for FPP contracts. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately $3.8 million of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months and the balance of $0.7 million will be recognized thereafter.

The DSS program provides additional support for distributor business development activities, customer lead generation, brand awareness and tailored marketing services for each of the Company’s major geography and market vertical. This program is funded by the Company’s distributors and was developed to provide improved worldwide distributor training, sales efficiency, website development, company branding and provide funding for increased strategic marketing activities. DSS program revenue is generally paid quarterly with revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over a calendar year period.

Deposits are primarily non-refundable cash payments from distributors for future orders.

Unsatisfied Performance Obligations

The Company has elected the practical expedient to disclose only the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length greater than one year. The majority of the Company’s revenues resulted from sales of inventoried systems with short periods of manufacture and delivery and thus are excluded from this disclosure.

As of June 30, 2021, the FPP backlog was approximately $76.8 million, which represents the value of the contractual agreement for FPP services that had not been earned and extends through Fiscal 2036.

Practical Expedients

The Company applies a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company was a party to a Development and License Agreement with Carrier Corporation (“Carrier”) regarding the payment of royalties on the sale of each of the Company’s 200 kilowatt (“C200”) microturbines. In 2013, the Company reached its repayment threshold level and the fixed rate royalty was reduced by 50%. On July 25, 2018, the Company and Carrier entered into a Second Amendment to the Development and License Agreement (“Second Amendment”) whereby the Company agreed to pay Carrier approximately $3.0 million to conclude the Company’s current royalty obligation under the Development and License Agreement, dated as of September 4, 2007, as amended (“Development Agreement”), and release the Company from any future royalty payment obligations. The Second Amendment also removed non-compete provisions from the Development Agreement, allowing the Company to design market or sell its C200 System in conjunction with any energy system and compete with Carrier products in the CCHP market.

On September 19, 2018, the Company paid in full the negotiated royalty settlement of $3.0 million to Carrier, and as such, there is no further royalty obligation to Carrier. The prepaid royalty of $3.0 million has been recorded under the captions “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Other assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations over a 15-year amortization period through September 2033 using an effective royalty rate. A 15-year amortization period is the minimum expected life cycle of the current generation of product. The effective royalty rate is calculated as the prepaid royalty settlement divided by total projected C200 System units over the 15-year amortization period. On a quarterly basis, the Company will perform a re-forecast of C200 System unit shipments, to determine if an adjustment to the effective royalty rate is necessary. Accordingly, if the Company’s future projections change, its effective royalty rates would change, which could affect the amount and timing of royalty expense the Company recognizes. If impairment exists, then the prepaid royalty asset could be written down to fair value. Prepaid royalties are classified as current assets to the extent that such amounts will be recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations within the next 12 months. The current and long-term portions of prepaid royalties, included in other current assets and other assets, respectively, consisted of (in thousands):

Purchase Commitments

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had firm commitments to purchase inventories of approximately $44.2 million through Fiscal 2024. Certain inventory delivery dates and related payments are not firmly scheduled; therefore, amounts under these firm purchase commitments will be payable upon the receipt of the related inventories.

Lease Commitments

See Note 16 – Leases.

Other Commitments

The Company has agreements with certain of its distributors requiring that, if the Company renders parts obsolete in inventories the distributors own and hold in support of their obligations to serve fielded microturbines, then the Company is required to replace the affected stock at no cost to the distributors. While the Company has never incurred costs or obligations for these types of replacements, it is possible that future changes in the Company’s product technology could result and yield costs to the Company if significant amounts of inventory are held at distributors. As of June 30, 2021, no significant inventories were held at distributors.

Legal Matters

Capstone Turbine Corporation v. Turbine International, LLC.

On February 3, 2020, Capstone Turbine Corporation filed suit against its former distributor, Turbine International, LLC (“Turbine Intl.”), in the Superior Court of California for the County of Los Angeles under the following caption: Capstone Turbine Corporation v. Turbine International, LLC; Case No. 20STCV04372 (“Capstone-Turbine Intl. Litigation”). The Company has alleged claims against Turbine Intl. for breach of contract and for injunctive relief relating to the parties’ prior distributor relationship, which terminated at the end of March of 2018, and Turbine Intl.’s failure to satisfy its payment obligations under certain financial agreements, namely an accounts receivable agreement and promissory note in favor of Capstone. As remedies for these claims, the Company is seeking compensatory, consequential, along with injunctive relief and attorney’s fees, interest, and costs.

On March 18, 2020, Turbine Intl. filed its answer and cross-claims in the Capstone-Turbine Intl. Litigation. In its cross-claims, Turbine Intl. has asserted claims against Capstone, and individually against Mr. James Crouse, Capstone’s Chief Revenue Officer, for breach of contract under the distributor agreement, accounts receivable agreement and promissory note, fraud, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment and constructive trust, negligent misrepresentation, violation of the unfair practices act, violation of racketeer influenced corrupt organizations act, and conspiracy to commit fraud. As remedies for these alleged claims, Turbine Intl. are seeking compensatory, consequential, and punitive damages along with attorney’s fees, interest, and costs. Capstone answered the cross-claims on May 7, 2020.

On June 29, 2020, Capstone filed a motion to file a First Amended Complaint that would add, among other things, a claim for enforcement of a personal guaranty signed by an entity related to Turbine Intl., Hispania Petroleum, S.A., and personal claims against the principals of Turbine Intl. and Hispania. That motion was granted on August 19, 2020, and the First Amended Complaint (“FAC”) is now on file. All of the new defendants have been served and have filed answers. A case management conference set for June 21, 2021 was continued and is now set to occur on August 20, 2021. Discovery is ongoing. The Company has not recorded any liability as of June 30, 2021, as the matter is too early to estimate.

16. Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), requiring lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. The ASU requires lessees to recognize a liability for lease obligations, which represents the discounted obligation to make future lease payments, and a corresponding right-of-use (ROU) asset on the balance sheet.

The Company adopted the new standard on April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption of the new lease standard on April 1, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $5.5 million of right-of-use assets, adjusted for the reclassification of deferred rent and lease incentive of approximately $0.3 million, and $5.8 million of operating lease liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets upon adoption. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or Cash Flows and did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit. Financed leases are not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and are therefore not included in the footnote disclosures.

In June 2019, the Company entered into a new lease of approximately 9,216 square feet of warehouse space at 16701 Stagg Street in Van Nuys, California. Upon the lease commencement date in July 2019, the Company recorded $0.5 million of right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities.

The Company leases offices and manufacturing facilities under various non-cancelable operating leases expiring at various times through Fiscal 2025. All of the leases require the Company to pay maintenance, insurance and property taxes. The lease agreements for primary office and manufacturing facilities provide for rent escalation over the lease term and renewal options for five-year periods. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Evaluation of Ability to Maintain Current Level of Operations

Evaluation of Ability to Maintain Current Level of Operations  In connection with the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2021, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they became due over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of the Company’s first quarter of Fiscal 2022 interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Management assessed that there were such conditions and events, including a history of recurring operating losses, negative cash flows from operating activities, the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, volatility of the global oil and gas markets, a strong U.S. dollar in certain markets making its products more expensive in such markets and ongoing global geopolitical tensions. The Company incurred a net loss of $2.2 million and used net cash in operating activities of $10.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Cash used for working capital requirements for the quarter were primarily for increases in inventory, which was primarily due to the Company’s intent to grow its long-term rental fleet from 10.6 MW to 21.1 MW during Fiscal 2022, as well as the delayed timing of accounts receivable collections due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the Company used cash to replace parts under its reliability repair program established during the fourth quarter for Fiscal 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $49.2 million, and outstanding debt of $50.9 million at fair value (see Note 11 – Term Note Payable for further discussion of the outstanding debt).

Management evaluated these conditions in relation to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s ability to continue current operations and to execute on management’s plans is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations. While no assurances can be provided, management believes that the Company will continue to make progress on its path to profitability by continuing to maintain low operating expenses and develop its geographical and vertical markets. The Company may seek to raise funds by selling additional securities (through at-the-market offerings or otherwise). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds on commercially favorable terms or at all. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing additional equity, the fully diluted ownership percentages of existing stockholders will be reduced. In addition, any equity that the Company would issue may include rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of its Common Stock.

Based on the Company’s current operating plan, management anticipates that, given current working capital levels, current financial projections and funds received under debt agreements as further described in Note 11 – Term Note Payable, and funds received under offerings of common stock as further described in Note 9 – Offerings of Common Stock and Warrants, the Company will be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of the Company’s first quarter of Fiscal 2022 interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Company Response to COVID-19

Company Response to COVID-19

In March 2020, the Company began to monitor the global effects of COVID-19, the worldwide spread of which led the World Health Organization (“WHO”) to characterize it as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Thereafter, most U.S. states imposed “stay-at-home” orders on their populations to stem the spread of COVID-19. Of specific interest to the Company, stay-at-home orders were imposed in the state of California on March 20, 2020.

On March 23, 2020 the Company enacted a Business Continuity Plan in response to COVID-19. Beginning March 30, 2020, the Company furloughed 52 employees, leaving behind only staff deemed essential for day-to-day administrative operations for a minimum period of 45 days. The Company’s Leadership Team volunteered to take a 25% temporary salary cut. In addition, 25 other top Company managers volunteered to take a similar 15% reduction in salary. Several employees returned to work June 1, 2020, most with the 15% voluntary salary cuts, with others returning in a staggered manner through the end of September 2020. Additionally, in March 2020, the Board voted to take a temporary 25% reduction in base cash retainer in support of the Company’s Business Continuity Plan. As a result of the continued global economic slowdown due to COVID-19 and the associated decline in global crude oil prices, the Company eliminated 26 positions on June 1, 2020. During the period of March 30, 2020 to June 1, 2020, the Company had limited production capability of new microturbine products, but had pre-built approximately 5.9 MW of microturbine finished goods during March 2020 for shipment during this period of suspended production. On September 28, 2020 salaries were returned to 100% and remaining furloughed employees returned to work. The Company’s vendor supply chain has also been impacted by the pandemic; however, the Company has been able to maintain sufficient supply flow to continue operations as of the date hereof.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (the “CARES Act”), which, among other things, outlines the provisions of the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”). The Company determined that it met the criteria to be eligible to obtain a loan under the PPP because, among other reasons, in light of the COVID-19 outbreak and the uncertainty of economic conditions related thereto, the loan was necessary to support the Company’s ongoing operations. Under the PPP, the Company could obtain a U.S. Small Business Administration loan in an amount equal to the average of the Company’s monthly payroll costs (as defined under the PPP) for calendar 2019 multiplied by 2.5 (approximately 10 weeks of payroll costs). Section 1106 of the CARES Act contains provisions for the forgiveness of all or a portion of a PPP loan, subject to the satisfaction of certain requirements. The amount eligible for forgiveness is, subject to certain limitations, the sum of the Company’s payroll costs, rent and utilities paid by the Company during the eight-week period beginning on the funding date of the PPP loan.

On April 24, 2020, the Company closed on a PPP loan in the amount of $2,610,200, which was transferred by the Company into an account dedicated to allowable uses of the PPP loan proceeds. On May 13, 2020, the Company repaid $660,200 of the loan in accordance with the Fourth Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement between the Company and Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group, L.P. In February 2021, the Company applied for forgiveness in full of the original balance of the PPP loan and the loan was forgiven in full on June 30, 2021, and the Company received a refund of $660,200.
