Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Unaudited

(In thousands, except share and per share data and percentages)

1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, have been prepared by BK Technologies Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”), and are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021, has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 17, 2022, as amended by filing Form 10-K/A with the SEC on April 29, 2022. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.

Principles of Consolidation

The accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The Company determines whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity by first evaluating whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or a voting interest entity.

VIEs are entities in which (i) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to enable the entity to finance its activities independently, or (ii) the at-risk equity holders do not have the normal characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest in a VIE is present when an enterprise has one or more variable interests that have both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The enterprise with a controlling financial interest is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE.

Voting interest entities lack one or more of the characteristics of a VIE. The usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest for a corporation or a majority of kick-out or participating rights for a limited partnership.

When the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in an entity but exerts significant influence over the entity’s operating and financial policies (generally defined as owning a voting or economic interest of between 20% to 50%), the Company’s investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. If the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in, or exert significant influence over, an entity, the Company accounts for its investment at fair value, if the fair value option was elected, or at cost.

The Company has an investment in FG Financial Group, Inc. made through FGI 1347 Holdings, LP, a consolidated VIE.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, investment in securities, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, credit facilities, and other liabilities. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, and other liabilities approximated their respective fair value due to the short-term nature and maturity of these instruments.

The Company uses observable market data assumptions (Level 1 inputs, as defined in accounting guidance) that it believes market participants would use in pricing investment in securities.

Table of Contents

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have a material impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

Change in Accounting Principle

As disclosed in Note 4, on July 1, 2021, the Company changed its accounting for inventory to burden the material at the time of purchase receipts. Prior to July 1, 2021, the Company applied the material burden at the time the inventory was issued to work in progress. The Company believes that this method improves financial reporting by better reflecting the current value of inventory on the consolidated balance sheets, by providing better matching of revenues and expenses. This change resulted in a net increase of approximately $1,300 in inventory and a net decrease of $1,300 in accumulated deficit as of July 1, 2021.

The accounting change did not have a material effect on the loss from operations, net loss, or earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

2. Significant Events and Transactions

Pursuant to the Company’s capital return program, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share of the Company’s common stock on June 30, 2022, to stockholders of record as of July 25, 2022. These dividends will be paid on August 8, 2022.

On April 6, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share of the Company’s common stock to stockholders of record as of May 2, 2022. These dividends were paid on May 16, 2022.

3. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts on trade receivables was approximately $50 on gross trade receivables of $6,569 and $8,279 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. This allowance is used to state trade receivables at a net realizable value or the amount that the Company estimates will be collected of the Company’s gross trade receivables.

4. Inventories, Net

On July 1, 2021, the Company changed its accounting for inventory to burden the material at the time of purchase receipts. Prior to July 1, 2021, the Company applied the material burden at the time the inventory was issued to work in progress.

The fiscal 2021 financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to apply the new inventory change method. The cumulative effect of this change on periods prior to those presented herein resulted in a net decrease in accumulated deficit of approximately $1,104 as of January 1, 2021.

Inventories, which are presented net of allowance for slow moving, excess, or obsolete -inventory, consisted of the following:

	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Finished goods	$	3,023	$	2,335
Work in process		5,237		4,527
Raw materials		14,238		10,116
	$	22,498	$	16,978

Table of Contents

Allowances for slow-moving, excess, or obsolete inventory are used to state the Company’s inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The allowances were approximately $1,214 at June 30, 2022, compared with approximately $1,288 at December 31, 2021.

As a result of the retrospective application of this change in accounting method, the following financial statement line items within the accompanying fiscal 2021 Condensed Consolidated financial statements were adjusted as follows:

	As Originally Reported ($)			Effect of Change ($)			As Reported under Change in Accounting Principle ($)

5. Income Taxes

The Company has recorded no income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared with an income tax expense of $184 for the same periods last year.

The Company’s income tax provision is based on management’s estimate of the effective tax rate for the full year. The tax provision (benefit) in any period will be affected by, among other things, permanent, as well as temporary, differences in the deductibility of certain items, changes in the valuation allowance related to net deferred tax assets, in addition to changes in tax legislation. As a result, the Company may experience significant fluctuations in the effective book tax rate (that is, tax expense divided by pre-tax book income) from period to period.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s net deferred tax assets totaled approximately $4,116 and were primarily derived from research and development tax credits, deferred revenue, and net operating loss carryforwards.

Table of Contents

In order to fully utilize the net deferred tax assets, the Company will need to generate sufficient taxable income in future years. The Company analyzed all positive and negative evidence to determine if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not to realize the benefit of the net deferred tax assets. The recognition of the net deferred tax assets and related tax benefits is based upon the Company’s conclusions regarding, among other considerations, estimates of future earnings based on information currently available and current and anticipated customers, contracts, and product introductions, as well as historical operating results and certain tax planning strategies.

Based on the analysis of all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company has concluded that it does not have the ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the necessary period to utilize the entire benefit for the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company established a valuation allowance of $2,693 and $610 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company cannot presently estimate what, if any, changes to the valuation of its deferred tax assets may be deemed appropriate in the future. If the Company incurs future losses, it may be necessary to record additional valuation allowance related to the deferred tax assets recognized as of June 30, 2022.

6. Investment in Securities

1347 LP

The Company has an investment in a limited partnership, FGI 1347 Holdings, LP, of which the Company is the sole limited partner. FGI 1347 Holdings, LP (“1347 LP”), was established for the purpose of investing in securities.

The general partner of 1347 LP is entitled to reimbursement of certain costs, fees, and expenses arising in connection with 1347 LP’s operations, as provided by the partnership agreement, upon approval by the Company’s Board of Directors.

FG Financial Group

(Nasdaq: FGF) (“FGF”), with fair value of $697, through an investment in 1347 LP. These shares were purchased in March and May 2018 for approximately $3,741.

9. Non-Cash Share-Based Employee Compensation

The Company has an employee and non-employee director share-based incentive compensation plan. Related to these programs, the Company recorded non-cash share-based employee compensation expense of $51 and $136 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared with $33 and $65, for the same periods last year. The Company considers its non-cash share-based employee compensation expenses as a component of cost of products and selling, general and administrative expenses. There was no non-cash share-based employee compensation expense capitalized as part of capital expenditures or inventory for the periods presented.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model to calculate the fair value of stock option grants under this plan. The non-cash share-based employee compensation expense recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, was calculated using certain assumptions. Such assumptions are described more comprehensively in Note 10 (Share-Based Employee Compensation) of the Notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

A summary of activity under the Company’s stock option plans during the six months ended June 30, 2022, is presented below:

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business. On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings utilizing the latest information available. Where it is probable that the Company will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, it records a liability in its consolidated financial statements. These legal accruals may be increased or decreased to reflect any relevant developments on a quarterly basis. Where a loss is not probable or the amount of the loss is not estimable, the Company does not accrue legal reserves, consistent with applicable accounting guidance. There were no pending material claims or legal matters as of June 30, 2022.

Covid 19 and Geo Political Tension

In December 2019, a novel strain of the coronavirus (COVID-19) surfaced in Wuhan, China, which spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. The pandemic may have the potential of adversely impacting our business and financial performance in the future. The extent of the potential impact will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and, given the continuing evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global responses to curb its spread, cannot be predicted. In addition, the pandemic has significantly increased economic uncertainty. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience an adverse impact to our business as a result of its national and, to some extent, global economic impact, including any recession that may occur in the future.

Additionally, U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the start of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

12. Leases

The Company accounts for its leasing arrangements in accordance with Topic 842, “Leases”. The Company leases manufacturing and office facilities and equipment under operating leases and determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

As most of its leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately.

The Company leases approximately 54,000 square feet (not in thousands) of industrial space in West Melbourne, Florida, under a non-cancellable operating lease. The lease has the expiration date of September 30, 2027. Annual rental, maintenance and tax expenses for the facility are approximately $491.

In February 2020, the Company entered into a lease for 6,857 square feet (not in thousands) of office space at Sawgrass Technology Park, 1619 NW 136th Avenue in Sunrise, Florida, for a period of 64 months commencing July 1, 2020. Annual rental, maintenance and tax expenses for the facility will be approximately $196 for the first year, increasing by approximately 3% for each subsequent 12-month period.

In March 2021, the Company executed an agreement for the termination of its lease for 8,100 square feet (not in thousands) of office space in Lawrence, Kansas, effective March 31, 2021 and recognized a "Lease Termination” expense of approximately $53.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic and Recent Capital markets Disruption

In December 2019, a novel strain of the coronavirus (COVID-19) surfaced, which spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented certain policies at our offices in accordance with best practices to accommodate, and at times mandate, social distancing, wearing face masks, and remote work practices. Among other things, we have invested in employee safety equipment, additional cleaning supplies and measures, adjusted production lines and workplaces as necessary and adapted new processes for interactions with our suppliers and customers to safely manage our operations. Any employees that test positive for COVID-19 are quarantined and, if possible, work remotely in accordance with accepted safety practices until after passing subsequent testing.

Additionally, U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the start of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. On February 24, 2022, a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops was reported. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military conflict is highly unpredictable, the conflict in Ukraine could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions. We are continuing to monitor the situation in Ukraine and globally and assessing its potential impact on our business.

Furthermore, Russia’s prior annexation of Crimea, recent recognition of two separatist republics in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine and subsequent military interventions in Ukraine have led to sanctions and other penalties being levied by the United States, European Union and other countries against Russia, Belarus, the Crimea Region of Ukraine, the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, and the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic, including agreement to remove certain Russian financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) payment system. Additional potential sanctions and penalties have also been proposed and/or threatened. Russian military actions and the resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets, potentially making it more difficult for us to obtain additional funds.

The impact to our business in 2022, particularly customer orders, is not known with any certainty. Recently, worldwide shortages of materials, particularly semiconductors and integrated circuits, have resulted in limited supplies, extended lead times, and increased costs and inventory levels for certain components used in our products. While, generally, we have been able to procure the material necessary to manufacture our products and fulfill customer orders, there have been delays and long delivery times within our supply chain. While the progression and duration of these shortages is not known with certainty, they may last for several quarters or years. The impact on our operations of such shortages, or additional shortages that may surface, is uncertain, but could potentially impact our future sales, manufacturing operations and financial results. Continued progression of these circumstances could result in a decline in customer orders, as our customers could shift purchases to lower-priced or other perceived value offerings or reduce their purchases and inventories due to decreased budgets, reduced access to credit or various other factors, and impair our ability to manufacture our products, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flow. While the current impacts of COVID-19 and ongoing geopolitical conflicts and related sanctions are reflected in our results of operations, we cannot at this time separate the direct impacts of these matters from other factors that cause our performance to vary from quarter to quarter. The ultimate duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing geopolitical conflicts and related sanctions on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows is dependent on future developments, including the duration and severity of the pandemic, the duration of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and additional sanctions related thereto, and the related length of the impact on the global economy, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided and geopolitical tensions subside, we may continue to experience an adverse impact to our business as a result of the national and, to some extent, global economic impact. Furthermore, the extent to which our mitigation efforts are successful, if at all, is not presently ascertainable. However, our results of operations in future periods may continue to be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing geopolitical conflict and related sanctions, and their negative effects on global economic conditions.

We may experience fluctuations in our quarterly results, in part, due to governmental customer spending patterns that are influenced by government fiscal year-end budgets and appropriations. We may also experience fluctuations in our quarterly results, in part, due to our sales to federal and state agencies that participate in wildland fire-suppression efforts, which may be greater during the summer season when forest fire activity is heightened. In some years, these factors may cause an increase in sales for the second and third quarters, compared with the first and fourth quarters of the same fiscal year. Such increases in sales may cause quarterly variances in our cash flow from operations and overall financial condition.

Second Quarter and Six Months Summary

Customer demand and orders for our products continued to be strong during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Supply chain constraints limited our ability to manufacture the quantities needed to ship and fulfill all the orders. Consequently, these orders were carried in backlog, and we anticipate fulfilling many of these orders during subsequent quarters this year.

Overall, our revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022, improved compared with the same period of last year. For the second quarter 2022, sales increased 6.8% from the second quarter last year and 83.9% from the immediately preceding quarter. The improvement in sales for the second quarter brought sales for the six-months ended June 30, 2022, within 6.0% of the same six-month period last year. Gross profit margins as a percentage of sales for the second quarter and six-month periods of 2022 decreased compared with the same periods of last year, generally reflecting cost increases in materials and freight, and lower production volumes due to material shortages. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the second quarter of 2022 were 18.7% higher than the SG&A expenses for the second quarter last year, while SG&A expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, increased 21.1% compared to the same period last year. The increase in general and administrative expenses is attributed primarily to corporate and headquarters staffing and strategic initiatives. These factors yielded operating losses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, that increased primarily due to supply chain material challenges comparable to the same periods last year. During the second quarter of 2021 we closed a public offering of our common stock, raising net proceeds of approximately $11.6 million with the issuance of approximately 4.2 million common shares.

For the second quarter of 2022, our sales increased 6.8% to approximately $12.1 million, compared with approximately $11.3 million for the same quarter last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, sales totaled approximately $18.7 million, compared with approximately $19.9 million for the same period last year.

Gross profit margins as a percentage of sales for the second quarter of 2022 were approximately 14.2%, compared with 38.4% for the second quarter last year, as adjusted. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, gross profit margins as a percentage of sales were approximately 17.1%, compared with 37.6% when compared to the same periods last year, as adjusted.

SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 2022 totaled approximately $5.4 million, compared with approximately $4.6 million for the same quarter last year. SG&A expenses for the first six months of 2022 increased 21.1% to approximately $10.3 million, compared with approximately $8.5 million for the same period last year.

For the second quarter of 2022, we recognized an operating loss of approximately $3.7 million, compared with approximately $0.2 million for the same quarter last year, as adjusted. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, our operating loss totaled approximately $7.1 million, compared with approximately $1.1 million for the same period last year, as adjusted.

For the second quarter of 2022, we recognized an unrealized loss totaling approximately $0.6 million on our investment in FG Financial made through FGI 1347 Holdings, LP, a consolidated variable interest entity. This compares with an unrealized gain of approximately $2.3 million on the investment for the second quarter last year. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, we recognized an unrealized loss of approximately $1.1 million, compared with an unrealized gain of $2.5 million for last year’s six-month period.

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was approximately $4.3 million ($0.26 per basic and diluted share), compared with a net income of approximately $1.8 million ($0.14 per basic and $0.13 diluted share) for the same quarter last year, as adjusted. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our net loss totaled approximately $8.3 million ($0.49 per basic and diluted share), compared with a net income of approximately $1.2 million ($0.09 per basic and diluted share) for the same period last year, as adjusted.

As of June 30, 2022, working capital totaled approximately $17.4 million, of which approximately $12.4 million was comprised of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. As of December 31, 2021, working capital totaled approximately $25.2 million (as adjusted), of which approximately $18.8 million was comprised of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables.

Net Sales

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, net sales increased 6.8% to approximately $12.1 million, compared with approximately $11.3 million for the same quarter last year. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022, totaled approximately $18.7 million, compared with approximately $19.9 million for the six-month period last year.

Customer demand and orders for our products continued to be strong, driving record bookings for the second quarter of 2022. Supply chain constraints limited our ability to manufacture the quantities needed to convert the orders into shipments and sales revenue. Consequently, unshipped orders were carried in backlog, and we anticipate fulfilling many of the orders in backlog during subsequent quarters this year. We are taking steps to manage delays in the supply chain, including carrying additional inventory of material and components with limited supplies. Although supply chain factors may continue to impact shipments during the next quarter, we anticipate being able to fulfill customer requirements. The precise impact to sales and shipments for the remainder of 2022, however, cannot be quantified.

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was attributed primarily to certain state and local public safety opportunities, as well as federal wildland fire related agencies. From a product perspective, the primary contributor to orders and shipments during the second quarter was our BKR 5000 portable radio and related accessories. The BKR Series is envisioned as a comprehensive line of new products, which will include new models in coming quarters. The timing of developing additional BKR Series products and bringing them to market could be impacted by various factors, including potential impacts related to our supply chain and the COVID-19 pandemic to various electronic component suppliers. BKR Series products, we believe, should increase our addressable market by expanding the number of federal and other public safety customers that may purchase our products. However, the timing and size of orders from agencies at all levels can be unpredictable and subject to budgets, priorities, and other factors. Accordingly, we cannot assure that sales will occur under particular contracts, or that our sales prospects will otherwise be realized.

While the potential impacts of material shortages, lead-times, the COVID-19 pandemic, and ongoing geopolitical conflict and related sanctions in coming months and quarters remain uncertain, such effects have the potential to adversely impact our customers and our supply chain. Such negative effects on our customers and suppliers could adversely affect our future sales, gross profit margins, operations, and financial results.

Cost of Products and Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit margins as a percentage of sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022 were approximately 14.2%, compared with 38.4% for the same quarter last year. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, gross profit margins were approximately 17.1%, compared with 37.6% for the same period last year.

Our cost of products and gross profit margins are primarily derived from material, labor and overhead costs, product mix, manufacturing volumes and pricing. Gross profit margins for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, decreased compared with the same period last year primarily due to increased material costs, including electronic components, as well as escalated freight costs, which yielded sub-optimal absorption of manufacturing overhead costs.

During recent quarters, worldwide shortages of materials, including semiconductors and integrated circuits, have resulted in limited supplies, extended lead times and higher costs for certain components used in our products. Accordingly, we have experienced delivery delays and increased costs within our supply chain. While the progression and duration of these shortages is not known with certainty, we are monitoring a number of critical components for product cost improvement, but the shortages may last for several quarters. The impact on our operations of such shortages and increased product costs is uncertain, but could potentially impact our future sales, manufacturing operations and financial results.

We utilize a combination of internal manufacturing capabilities and contract manufacturing relationships for production efficiencies and to manage material and labor costs. While we anticipate continuing to do so in the future, we have increased and are continuing to increase, our utilization of U.S.-based resources, which provides greater security and control over our production. We believe that our current manufacturing capabilities and contract relationships or comparable alternatives will continue to be available to us. However, we may encounter new product cost and competitive pricing pressures in the future and the extent of their impact on gross margins, if any, is uncertain.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses consist of marketing, sales, commissions, engineering, product development, management information systems, accounting, headquarters, and non-cash share-based employee compensation expenses.

SG&A expenses for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, totaled approximately $5.4 million (44.6% of sales), compared with approximately $4.6 million (40.2% of sales) for the same quarter last year. For the six mont
