Flux Power to Write Down $1.7 Million in Obsolete Inventory, Requiring Restatement of Certain Previously Issued Financial Statements
September 05 2024 - 4:01PM
Business Wire
Flux Power Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLUX), a developer of
advanced lithium-ion energy storage solutions for electrification
of commercial and industrial equipment today announced that it has
identified $1.7 million of excess and obsolete inventory primarily
related to product innovation and design of our products during a
period of rapid growth over the last several years. As a result,
the Company will restate previously issued financial statements for
fiscal year 2023 and the interim periods of fiscal year 2024. The
inventory write-down is a non-cash charge and will not impact
cashflow. However, as a part of the restatement process, the
Company may include additional adjustments other than inventory
that may be identified during its review. The Company also expects
that its $16 million revolving credit facility with its financing
partner Gibraltar Business Capital remains available subject to
meeting certain lending criteria under the Loan Agreement.
“Flux Power, with the leadership of our new CFO Kevin Royal, is
taking all appropriate measures to rectify the inventory accounting
issues related to our transition to more advanced energy cells,
including implementing enhanced procedures and quality checks to
mitigate the possibility of it recurring,” said Ron Dutt, CEO of
Flux Power. “We believe that these findings will not impact the
strength of the business, our access to capital through our
financing partner or the Company’s positive outlook for our future
– which will be fueled by continued innovation, maintaining a
disciplined cost structure and driving organic growth.”
The Company intends to restate its financial statements for the
periods noted above as soon as practicable. Additional information
related to the restatements is available in the Company’s Form 8-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.
