Ideal Power Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business

Ideal Power Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Texas on May 17, 2007 under the name Ideal Power Converters, Inc. The Company changed its name to Ideal Power Inc. on July 8, 2013 and re-incorporated in Delaware on July 15, 2013. With headquarters in Austin, Texas, the Company is focused on the further development and commercialization of its Bidirectional bipolar junction TRANsistor (B-TRAN™) solid state switch technology.

Since its inception, the Company has financed its research and development efforts and operations primarily through the sale of common stock and warrants. The Company’s continued operations are dependent upon, among other things, its ability to obtain adequate sources of funding through future revenues, securities offerings, debt financing, co-development agreements, government grants, sale or licensing of developed intellectual property or other alternatives.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The balance sheet at December 31, 2021 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 25, 2022.

In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal recurring, and other adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year or any other future periods.

Net Loss Per Share

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 260, shares issuable for little or no cash consideration are considered outstanding common shares and included in the computation of basic net loss per share. As such, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company included pre-funded warrants to purchase 253,828 shares of common stock in its computation of net loss per share. The pre-funded warrants were issued in November 2019 with an exercise price of $0.001.

In periods with a net loss, no common share equivalents are included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. At June 30, 2022, potentially dilutive shares outstanding amounted to 1,400,368 shares and exclude prefunded warrants to purchase shares of common stock.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard, if adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had capitalized $338,464 and $306,640, respectively, for costs related to patents that have not been awarded.

Note 4 – Loans

In May 2020, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement and Promissory Note (collectively the "PPP Loan") with BBVA USA pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the "PPP") under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA"). The Company received total proceeds of $91,407 from the unsecured PPP Loan. The PPP Loan was scheduled to mature in May 2022 and had an interest rate of 1.00% per annum and was subject to the terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration under the CARES Act. In accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act and the PPP, the Company used the proceeds from the PPP Loan primarily for payroll costs. The Company applied for forgiveness of the PPP Loan during the first quarter of 2021. In May 2021, the SBA approved forgiveness of the Company's PPP Loan in the principal amount of $91,407, including accrued interest. The $91,407 gain on forgiveness of the PPP Loan is shown in other income (expenses) in the financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and represents a non-cash financing activity.

Note 5 – Lease

The Company previously leased 14,782 square feet of office and laboratory space located in Austin, Texas and subleased approximately seventy-five percent (75%) of this space to a third party. This lease and sublease expired concurrently on May 31, 2021.

In March 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement for 4,070 square feet of office and laboratory space located in Austin, Texas. The commencement of the lease occurred on June 1, 2021 and the initial term of the lease is 63 months. The actual base rent in the first year of the lease was $56,471 and was net of $18,824 in abated rent over the first three months of the lease term. The annual base rent in the second year of the lease is $77,330 and increases by $2,035 in each succeeding year of the lease. In addition, the Company is required to pay its proportionate share of operating costs for the building under this triple net lease. The lease contains a 5-year fair market renewal option. It does not contain a termination option. The Company recognized a right of use asset of $339,882 and a corresponding lease liability for this lease upon lease commencement.

For purposes of calculating the right of use asset and lease liability included in the Company’s financial statements, the Company estimated its incremental borrowing rate at 6% per annum.

Future minimum payments under the lease are as follows:

For the Year Ended December 31,
2022 (remaining)	$	38,666
2023		78,517
2024		80,552
2025		82,587
2026		56,132
Total lease payments		336,454
Less: imputed interest		(38,571)
Total lease liability	$	297,883

At June 30, 2022, the remaining lease term was 50 months.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, operating cash flows for lease payments totaled $18,993 and $39,534, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, operating cash outflows for lease payments totaled $37,817 and $89,423, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, operating lease cost, recognized on a straight-line basis, totaled $19,017 and $38,664, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, operating lease cost, recognized on a straight-line basis, totaled $38,035 and $87,152, respectively.

Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies

License Agreement

In 2015, the Company entered into licensing agreements which expire in February 2033. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company has an exclusive royalty-free license associated with semiconductor power switches which enhances its intellectual property portfolio. The agreements include both fixed payments, all of which were paid prior to 2017, and ongoing variable payments. The variable payments are a function of the number of associated patent filings pending and patents issued under the agreements. The Company will pay $10,000 for each patent filing pending and $20,000 for each patent issued annually with one-half the annual payment due within 20 days of December 21^st of each year and one-half annual the payment due within 20 days of June 21^st of each year of the agreements, up to a maximum of $100,000 per year (i.e. five issued patents). All five patents associated with the agreements are issued.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the other long-term liability for the estimated present value of future payments under the licensing agreements was $877,778 and $917,100, respectively. The Company is accruing interest for future payments related to the issued patents associated with these agreements.

Legal Proceedings

The Company may be subject to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not currently party to any legal proceedings.

Indemnification Obligations

The employment agreements of Company executives include an indemnification provision whereby the Company shall indemnify and defend, at the Company’s expense, its executives so long as an executive’s actions were taken in good faith and in furtherance of Company’s business and within the scope of executive’s duties and authority.

COVID-19 Pandemic

As of the date of these financial statements, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread throughout the United States and the rest of the world. The ultimate extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the financial performance of the Company will depend on future developments, including, among other things, the duration and spread of COVID-19 and its related variants, the timing, scope and efficacy of vaccination efforts, additional governmental restrictions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the overall economy, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. If the COVID-19 pandemic contributes to additional significant volatility in the global financial markets in the future, the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, on acceptable terms or at all, may be impacted, though such risk has not materialized to date. If the financial markets and/or the overall economy are negatively impacted for an extended period, the Company’s operating results may be materially and adversely affected.

Note 7 — Common Stock

Public Offering

In February 2021, the Company issued and sold 1,352,975 shares of its common stock, including 176,475 additional shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares in full, in an underwritten public offering at a price of $17.00 per share (the “Public Offering”). The net proceeds to the Company from the Public Offering were $21.2 million. The Company is utilizing, and expects to continue to utilize, the net proceeds from the Public Offering to fund commercialization and development of its B-TRAN™ technology and general corporate and working capital purposes.

Stock Issuances

In January 2022, the Company issued 10,000 unregistered shares of common stock, valued at $100,100 at the time of issuance, to a third-party vendor as compensation for services performed. In February 2021, the Company issued 4,000 unregistered shares of common stock, valued at $68,680 at the time of issuance, to a third-party vendor as compensation for services performed.

Note 8 — Equity Incentive Plan

In May 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the “Plan”) and reserved shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan, which was last amended in June 2021. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). At June 30, 2022, 394,979 shares of common stock were available for issuance under the Plan.

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity and related information is as follows:

				Weighted

In January 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved a modification of stock option grants to David Eisenhaure, the Company’s former Chairman of the Board, who passed away in October 2021. The modification extended the post-termination exercise period of his vested stock option grants from 12 months to 5 years. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized $49,327 of expense related to this modification.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as our audited 2021 financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition to historical information, the discussion and analysis here and throughout this Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited, to those set forth under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Overview

Ideal Power Inc. is located in Austin, Texas. The Company is solely focused on the further development and commercialization of its Bidirectional bipolar junction TRANsistor (B-TRAN™) solid state switch technology.

To date, operations have been funded primarily through the sale of common stock and warrants. Total revenue generated from inception to date as of June 30, 2022 amounted to $16.1 million with approximately $12.4 million of that revenue from discontinued operations and the remainder from grant revenue for bidirectional power switch development. Revenue was $50,978 and $175,986 in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $84,705 and $326,766 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 related to government grants. We may pursue additional research and development grants, if and when available, to further develop and/or improve our technology.

COVID-19 Impact

As of the date of this report, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread throughout the United States and the rest of the world. The ultimate extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our financial performance will depend on future developments, including, among other things, the duration and spread of COVID-19 and its related variants, the timing, scope and efficacy of vaccination efforts, additional governmental restrictions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the overall economy, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. If the COVID-19 pandemic contributes to significant additional volatility in the global financial markets in the future, our ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, on acceptable terms or at all, may be impacted, though such risk has not materialized to date. If the financial markets and/or the overall economy are negatively impacted for an extended period, our operating results may be materially and adversely affected.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has caused some disruption to our business, it has not had a material adverse impact on our operations to date. However, the COVID-19 pandemic may disrupt our business in the future and cause electrical component shortages and unavailability, difficulties in securing fabrication capacity, delays in critical development and commercialization activities and/or result in potential incremental costs associated with mitigating the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. There has been a significant disruption in the supply chain for semiconductors due both to the COVID-19 pandemic and increased demand for semiconductors. While this disruption has not materially impacted us to date, it may materially and adversely impact us in the future. The COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing, and its dynamic nature, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate spread of the virus and its related variants, the duration of the pandemic, the timing, scope and efficacy of vaccination efforts and additional actions that may be taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic, makes it difficult to forecast the effects on our business and results of operations for the remainder of 2022 and thereafter.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2022 to the three months ended June 30, 2021

Grant Revenues. Grant revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were $50,978 and $84,705, respectively. The grant revenues relate to a $1.2 million subcontract with Diversified Technologies, Inc. (“DTI”) to supply B-TRAN™ devices as part of a two-year contract awarded to DTI by the United States Naval Sea Systems Command (“NAVSEA”) for the development and demonstration of a B-TRAN™ enabled high efficiency direct current solid state circuit breaker (“SSCB”). In June 2022, NAVSEA approved a 6-month extension to the program and the program is currently expected to be completed by the end of the year. We expect the remaining grant revenue of $64,671 related to this subcontract to be recognized during the third and fourth quarters of this year. We also expect to pursue additional government funding that may result in additional grant revenues in the future.

We expect to introduce our initial product for commercial sale as early as late 2022.

Cost of Grant Revenues. Cost of grant revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $50,978 and $84,705, respectively. The cost of grant revenues relates to the subcontract with DTI discussed above and are equal to the associated grant revenues resulting in no gross profit. We expect no gross profit under the subcontract with DTI or from other grants that we are pursuing or may pursue in the remainder of 2022.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $167,690, or 30%, to $728,383 in the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $560,693 in the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was due to higher semiconductor fabrication costs of $115,061, wafer and driver component costs of $95,212 and higher stock-based compensation expense of $70,689, partly offset by lower contract labor costs of $71,692 and other B-TRAN™ development spending of $41,580. In the three months ended June 30, 2021, our semiconductor fabrication costs were partially funded by government grants. In the three months ended June 30, 2022, almost all of our semiconductor fabrication costs were not funded by government grants. We expect higher research and development expenses in the remainder of 2022 as we continue to accelerate development of our B-TRAN™ technology and self-fund, at least in the short term, semiconductor fabrication costs and other development previously funded through government grants. Research and development expenses will be subject to quarterly variability due primarily to the number, size and timing of semiconductor fabrication runs and their associated cost as well as the timing and cost of other major development activities.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $131,119, or 22%, to $734,637 in the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $603,518 in the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was due to higher stock-based compensation expense of $45,974, professional fees of $27,581, Board fees and expenses of $20,554, personnel costs of $18,392 and other costs of $18,618. We expect flat to modestly lower general and administrative expenses in the remainder of 2022.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $121,119, or 108%, to $233,152 in the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $112,033 in the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was due to higher personnel costs of $44,578, as we hired our first two sales and marketing employees in 2021, professional fees of $22,633, stock-based compensation expense of $22,100, travel costs of $15,392 and other spending of $16,416. We expect higher sales and marketing expenses in the remainder of 2022 as we engage more broadly with prospective customers and continue the commercialization of our B-TRAN™ technology.

Loss from Operations. Our loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $1,696,172, or 33% higher, than the $1,276,244 loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 for the reasons discussed above.

Other Income. Other income was $6,178 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $89,551 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The other income in the three months ended June 30, 2021 related primarily to a gain on forgiveness of long-term debt of $91,407.

Net Loss. Our net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $1,689,994, or 42% higher, as compared to a net loss of $1,186,693 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, for the reasons discussed above.

15

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2022 to the six months ended June 30, 2021

Grant Revenues. Grant revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were $175,986 and $326,766, respectively. The grant revenues relate primarily to a $1.2 million subcontract with DTI discussed above.

In September 2021, we entered into and began work under a $50,000 subcontract with DTI under a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (“SBIR”) grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop a B-TRAN™-driven low loss alternating current SSCB. We completed our work under this subcontract in February 2022.

Cost of Grant Revenues. Cost of grant revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $175,986 and $326,766, respectively. The cost of grant revenues relates to the subcontracts with DTI discussed above and are equal to the associated grant revenues resulting in no gross profit.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $735,357, or 90%, to $1,556,930 in the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $821,573 in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was due to higher semiconductor fabrication costs of $365,598, stock-based compensation expense of $152,865, personnel costs of $110,903, wafer and driver component costs of $96,594 and other B-TRAN™ spending of $9,397. In the six months ended June 30, 2021, our semiconductor fabrication costs were partially funded by government grants. In the six months ended June 30, 2022, almost all of our semiconductor fabrication costs were not funded by government grants.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $383,382, or 32%, to $1,587,586 in the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $1,204,204 in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was due to higher investor relations spending, inclusive of services paid in stock, of $109,770, stock-based compensation expense of $101,275, Board search and placement fees and expenses of $91,495, professional fees of $31,645, insurance of $23,448 and other costs of $25,749.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $277,970, or 159%, to $452,581 in the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $174,611 in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was due to higher personnel costs of $138,534, as we hired our first two sales and marketing employees in 2021, stock-based compensation of $54,455, travel costs of $29,056, professional fees of $23,800 and other spending of $32,125.

Loss from Operations. Our loss from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $3,597,097, or 63% higher, than the $2,200,388 loss from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 for the reasons discussed above.

Other Income. Other income was $2,462 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $89,545 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The other income in the six months ended June 30, 2021 related primarily to a gain on forgiveness of long-term debt of $91,407.

Net Loss. Our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $3,594,635, or 70% higher, as compared to a net loss of $2,110,843 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, for the reasons discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We currently generate grant revenue only. We expect to generate grant revenue and potentially commercial revenue in late 2022, depending on the ultimate date that our initial product is introduced for commercial sale and the timing of any development agreements that we may enter into with potential customers. We have incurred losses since inception. We have funded our operations to date through the sale of common stock and warrants.

At June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $20.0 million. Our net working capital at June 30, 2022 was $19.9 million. We had no outstanding debt at June 30, 2022. Accordingly, we expect that our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our activities for at least the next twelve months from the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; however, we may require additional funds to fully implement our plan of operation and business strategy.

16

Operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2022 resulted in cash outflows of $3,081,517, which were due to the net loss for the period of $3,594,635 and unfavorable changes in net working capital of $138,271, partly offset by stock-based compensation of $462,238, stock issued for services of $100,100 and depreciation and amortization of $89,051. Operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2021 resulted in cash outflows of $1,801,095, which were due primarily to the net loss for the period of $2,110,843 and a non-cash gain on loan forgiveness of $91,407, partly offset by stock-based compensation of $153,644, favorable balance sheet timing of $107,960, depreciation and amortization of $70,343 and stock issued for services of $68,680.

We expect an increase in cash outflows from operating activities throughout the remainder of 2022 as we continue to accelerate development and commercialization of our B-TRAN™ technology.

Investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 resulted in cash outflows of $67,920 and $145,019, respectively, for the acquisition of intangible assets and fixed assets. We expect an increase in cash outflows from investing activities during the second half of 2022 as we intend to acquire equipment to enhance our internal testing capabilities.

Financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2022 did not result in any cash inflows or outflows. Financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2021 resulted in cash inflows of $21,204,609 from the net proceeds from our Public Offering (as defined below) in February 2021 and $3,301,226 from the exercise of warrants and stock options.

Public Offering

In February 2021, we issued and sold 1,352,975 shares of our common stock, including 176,475 additional shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares in full, in an underwritten public offering at a price of $17.00 per share (the “Public Offering”). The net proceeds to us from the Public Offering were $21.2 million. We are utilizing, and continue to expect to utilize, the net proceeds from the Public Offering to fund commercialization and development of our B-TRAN™ technology and general corporate and working capital purposes.

Critical Accounting Estimates

There have been no significant changes during the six months ended June 30, 2022 to the critical accounting estimates disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Trends, Events and Uncertainties

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company conducted an evaluation (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act), under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and its Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting officer) of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022 and has concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no material changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control systems’ objectives are being met. Further, the design of any system of controls must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of all controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of error or mistake. Control systems can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
