1. BUSINESS ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Blink Charging Co., through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Blink”), is a leading owner, operator, and provider of electric vehicle (“EV”) charging equipment and networked EV charging services. Blink offers both residential and commercial EV charging equipment, enabling EV drivers to easily recharge at various location types. Blink’s principal line of products and services is its Blink EV charging network (the “Blink Network”) and EV charging equipment, also known as electric vehicle supply equipment (“EVSE”) and EV-related services. The Blink Network is a proprietary cloud-based software that operates, maintains, and tracks the Blink EV charging stations and their associated charging data. The Blink Network provides property owners, managers, and parking companies (“Property Partners”) with cloud-based services that enable the remote monitoring and management of EV charging stations, and payment processing, and provides EV drivers with vital station information including station location, availability, and applicable fees. Blink offers its Property Partners a range of business models for EV charging equipment and services that generally fall into one of the three business models below.
● | In the Company’s comprehensive Turnkey business model, Blink owns and operates the EV charging equipment, undertakes and manages the installation, maintenance and related services, and Blink | |
● | In the Company’s Hybrid business model, the Property Partner incurs the installation costs, while Blink provides the charging equipment. Blink operates and manages the EV charging station and provides connectivity of the charging station to the Blink Network. As a result, Blink shares a greater portion of the EV charging revenue with the Property Partner than under the turnkey model above. | |

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and for the three and six months then ended. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 20192020 or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company as of December 31, 20182019 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 1, 20192, 2020 as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company is taking precautions to ensure the safety of its employees, customers and business partners, while assuring business continuity and reliable service and support to its customers. The Company believes the COVID-19 global pandemic had minimal impact on its first quarter 2020 financial results.

2. GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS
As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company had cash, marketable securities, working capital and an accumulated deficit of $10,123,186, $3,032,386, $11,760,762$1,343,978, $1,952,510, $2,158,590, and $163,987,328,$172,466,081, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $2,237,220 and $4,130,847, respectively.$2,961,100. During the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company used cash in operating activities of $5,212,306.$3,413,141. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within a year after the issuance date of these financial statements. The Company expects to have the cash required to fundis currently funding its operations intoon a month-to-month basis.

common stock under an “at-the-market” equity offering program for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $150,000 and received loan proceeds under the Paycheck Protection Program of approximately $856,000. See Note 12 – Subsequent Events for details.
Since inception, the Company’s operations have primarily been funded through proceeds received in equity and debt financings. Although management believes that the Company generally has access to capital resources, there are currently no commitments in place for newthe Company continues to evaluate financing at this time and thereopportunities. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds due to current economic uncertainty or on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.terms. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its development initiatives or attain profitable operations. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, it may have to curtail its development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately the Company could be forced to discontinue its operations and liquidate.operations.
The Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully commercialize its products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement its product and service offerings.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
INVESTMENTS
Available-for-sale debt securities are recorded at fair value with the net unrealized gains and losses (that are deemed to be temporary) reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses and charges for other-than-temporary impairments are included in determining net income, with related purchase costs based on the first-in, first-out method. The Company evaluates its available-for-sale-investments for possible other-than-temporary impairments by reviewing factors such as the extent to which, and length of time, an investment’s fair value has been below the Company’s cost basis, the issuer’s financial condition, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for sufficient time for its market value to recover. For impairments that are other-than-temporary, an impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. The fair value of the investment then becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment and it is not adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information
The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of Blink Charging Co. (and, includingtogether its subsidiaries, “Blink” and the “Company”) as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019 and 2018 should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. References in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to “us”, “we”, “our” and similar terms refer to Blink. This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the federal securities laws. The events described in forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report may not occur. Generally, these statements relate to business plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits or other consequences of our plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits from acquisitions to be made by us, or projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings or other aspects of our operating results. The words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” and “continue,” and their opposites and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and are subject to a number of uncertainties, risks and other influences, many of which are beyond our control, which may influence the accuracy of the statements and the projections upon which the statements are based. Factors that may affect our results include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties set forth under Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, as discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q particularly in Item IA - Risk Factors.
At Blink Charging, our highest priority remains the safety, health and well-being of our employees, their families and our communities and we remain committed to serving the needs of our customers. The Covid-19 pandemic is a highly fluid situation and it is not currently possible for us to reasonably estimate the impact it may have on our financial and operating results. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on our business as we learn more and the impact of Covid-19 on our industry becomes clearer.
Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks and other influences, as well as our inability to avail ourselves of the loan forgiveness provisions of the PPP Loan, could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate. Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements except as required by federal securities laws, We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.
Overview
We are a leading owner, operator and provider of electric vehicle (“EV”) charging equipment and networked EV charging services. We offer both residential and commercial EV charging equipment, enabling EV drivers to easily recharge at various location types.
Our principal line of products and services is our Blink EV charging network (the “Blink Network”) and EV charging equipment (also known as electric vehicle supply equipment) and EV related services. Our Blink Network consists of proprietary cloud-based software that operates, maintain, and tracks all of the Blink EV charging stations and the associated charging data. The Blink Network provides property owners, managers and parking companies, who we refer to as our “Property Partners”, with cloud-based services that enable the remote monitoring and management of EV charging stations payment processing and provide EV drivers with vital station information including station location, availability and applicable fees.
We offer our Property Partners a range of business models for EV charging equipment and services that generally fall into one of the three business models below.

We have strategic partnerships across numerous transit/destination locations, including airports, auto dealers, healthcare/medical, hotels, mixed-use, municipal locations, multifamily residential and condos, parks and recreation areas, parking lots, religious institutions, restaurants, retailers, schools and universities, stadiums, supermarkets, transportation hubs, and workplace locations. As of June 30, 2019,At March 31, 2020, we have sold or deployed a total of approximately 14,68714,643 charging stations deployed,units, of which, 4,9915,283 were Levellevel 2 commercial charging units, 97103 were DC Fast Charging EV chargersunits and 1,6171,070 were residential charging unitsunits.

units.
We believe the coronavirus COVID-19 (COVID-19) global pandemic had minimal impact on our first quarter 2020 results. We continue to receive orders for our products; however, some shipments of equipment have been temporarily delayed. We are maintaining regular contact, via telephone and other electronic means, with our customers and suppliers, and do not currently expect any material change in overall demand for our products. We are complying with federal, state and local health guidelines regarding safety procedures. These procedures include, but are not limited to: social distancing, remote working, and teleconferencing versus in person meetings. The extent of the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business is uncertain and difficult to predict. Capital markets and the U.S. economy have also been significantly impacted by the pandemic, and it is possible that access to capital markets and other sources of liquidity could be significantly restricted to support our ongoing operations. Adverse economic and market conditions as a result of COVID-19 could also adversely affect the demand for our products and services and may also impact the ability of our customers to satisfy their obligations to us. If the pandemic continues to cause significant negative impacts to economic conditions, our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity could be adversely impacted. See Part II, Item 1A – “Risk Factors”.
As reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had cash, marketable securities, working capital and an accumulated deficit of $10,123,186, $3,032,386, $11,760,762$1,343,978, $1,952,510, and $163,987,328,$172,466,081, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the CompanyMarch 31, 2020, we incurred a net loss of $2,237,220 and $4,130,847, respectively.$2,961,100. During the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019, the CompanyMarch 31, 2020, we used cash in operating activities of $5,212,306.$3,413,141. We have not yet achieved profitability and expect to continue to incur cash outflows from operations. It is expected that our operating expenses will continue to increase and, as a result, we will eventually need to generate significant product revenues to achieve profitability. These conditions indicate that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statement issuance date. Historically, we have been able to raise funds to support our business operations, although there can be no assurance we will be successful in raising additional funds in the future.

Grant and rebates relating to equipment and the related installation are deferred and amortized in a manner consistent with the depreciation expense of the related assets over their useful lives. The ability to secure grant revenue is typically unpredictable and, therefore, uncertain. The 20192020 revenue was related to the amortization of previous years’ grants.
Other revenue decreasedincreased by $8,470$82,020 to $36,661$133,619 for the quarterthree months ended June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020 as compared to $45,131$51,599 for the quarterthree months ended June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. The decreaseincrease was primarily attributable to higher Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits generated during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. We generate these credits from the electricity utilized by our electric car charging stations as a decreasebyproduct from our charging services in revenues earned from host owned chargers.the states of California and Oregon. The value of the credits is subject to market conditions and our current policy is to sell the credits generated every one-to-two years as market conditions permit.

On April 17, 2020, we entered into a Sales Agreement (“Sales Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Agent”) to conduct an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM”) pursuant to which we may issue and sell from time to time shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $20,000,000 (the “Shares”) through the Agent, as our sales agent.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares from time to time, based upon our instructions. We have no obligation to sell any of the Shares and may at any time suspend sales under the Sales Agreement or terminate the Sales Agreement in accordance with its terms. We have provided the Agent with customary indemnification rights, and the Agent will be entitled to an aggregate fixed commission of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from Shares sold.
Sales of the Shares under the Sales Agreement will be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions, including on the Nasdaq Capital Market, at market prices or as otherwise agreed to with the Agent.
A “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 for the Shares was filed with the SEC, which became effective on September 16, 2019, and a prospectus supplement thereto was filed with the SEC on April 17, 2020.
We currently anticipate using the net proceeds, if any, from the sale of our shares of common stock offered hereby to supplement our operating cash flows to fund EV charging station deployment and our acquisition growth plan. We currently have no commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisitions. We also plan to use any remaining proceeds we receive for working capital and other corporate purposes. Other corporate purposes include amounts required to fundpay for continuing product development expenses, salaries, professional fees, public reporting costs, office-related expenses and other corporate expenses, including overhead. The amounts and timing of our operations intouse of the third quarternet proceeds from this offering, if any, will depend on a number of factors, such as the timing and progress of our EV charging station deployment efforts, the timing and progress of any partnering and collaboration efforts and technological advances. As of the date of this filing, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received by from this offering. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in the timing and application of these proceeds. Pending use of the proceeds as described above, we intend to invest the proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short term, interest bearing, investment grade instruments and U.S. government securities.
Since April 17, 2020 while we continue to apply efforts to raise additional capital.and through May 12, 2020, the Company sold 87,505 shares of its common stock at an average share price of $1.72 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $150,000 under the ATM.
Since inception, our operations have primarily been funded through proceeds received in equity and debt financings. Although management believes that we generally have access to capital resources, there are currently no commitments in place for newwe continue to evaluate financing at this time and thereopportunities. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain funds due to current economic uncertainty or on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.terms. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds we might raise will enable us to complete our development initiatives or attain profitable operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, we may have to curtail our development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately, we could be forced to discontinue our operations and liquidate.operations.
Our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings.
On May 7, 2020, we received loan proceeds in the amount of approximately $856,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable after eight weeks as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its employee and compensation levels. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the eight-week period.
24 |
The unforgiven portion of the PPP loan is payable over two years at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments for the first six months. We intend to use the proceeds for purposes consistent with the PPP. While we currently believe that its use of the loan proceeds will meet the conditions for forgiveness of the loan, there can be no assurance that we will not take actions that could cause us to be ineligible for forgiveness of the loan, in whole or in part.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
We are not required to provide the information required by this Item because we are a smaller reporting company.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, being the end of the period covered by this Report, our management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e)15d15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed in - Item 9A. Controls and Procedures -– in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018,2019, under the heading “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” and that continued to exist as of June 30, 2019.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.March 31, 2020.
However, as part of its ongoing remediation initiative and with the help of an outside advisory and consulting firm, management plans oncontinued to commit substantial resources to documenting and evaluating our internal controls which includeduring the following:quarter as reflected below:

Additionally, the Company recently hired a new CFO who, as the key process owner for internal controls over financial reporting, has started reviewing and approving journal entries and the periodic financial statements and the underlying schedules and disclosures. In addition, the new CFO has taken leadership of the ongoing remediation initiative by coordinating with the external consultants and other process owners.
Remediation that will commence soon:
(a) | Validating the operational effectiveness of the key internal controls forming part of the identified business processes and within the recently implemented NetSuite accounting system. |
Management expects to make and report continuous progress in the effective remediation of the identified material weaknesses.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except the above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

For a description of our legal proceedings, see Note 1011 – Commitments and Contingencies – Litigation and Disputes in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS. |
In addition to the information set forth under Item 1A of Part I to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, the information set forth at the beginning of Management’s Discussion and Analysis entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information,” and updates noted below, you should consider that there are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from achieving our goals. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operation may be materially and adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment. These risk factors may not identify all risks that we face and our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.
We have a history of significantsubstantial net losses and expect losses to continue in the future; if we do not achieve and sustain profitability our financial condition could suffer.
We have experienced significantsubstantial net losses, and we expect to continue to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future. We incurred net (loss) incomelosses of approximately ($4.1) million and $1.0$2.9 million for the six monthsquarter ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, we had net working capital of approximately $2.2 million and 2018, respectively, and as of June 30, 2019, ouran accumulated deficit wasof approximately $164$172.5 million.
Our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased by $5,102,150, or 526%, We have not yet achieved profitability. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to $4,130,847continue as compared to net income of $971,303 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to a decrease in other income of $6,052,769, partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses of $924,713 and an increase in gross profit of $25,906. Our net loss attributable to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $18,964,581, or 82%, from a loss of $23,095,428 during the 2018 period to a net loss of $4,130,847 during the 2019 period for the aforementioned reasons, due to a decreasegoing concern, as expressed in the dividend attributablenotes to Series C convertible preferred stockholders of $607,800, as well as the deemed dividend attributableour consolidated financial statements.

support our business operations, although there can be no assurance we will be successful.
If our revenue grows slower than we anticipate, or declines, or if our operating expenses are higher than we expect, we may not be able to achieve profitability and our financial condition could suffer. We can give no assurance that we will ever achieve profitable operations. Even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. Whether we can achieve cash flow levels sufficient to support our operations cannot be accurately predicted. Unless such cash flow levels are achieved, we may need to borrow additional funds or sell our debt or equity securities, or some combination of both, to provide funding for our operations. Such additional funding may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, ifor at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about
Our business and results of operations will be, and our abilityfinancial condition may be, impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19 and such impact
The global spread of the COVID-19 has created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. The extent to continue as a going concern within a year afterwhich the issuance datecoronavirus pandemic impacts our business, operations and financial results is uncertain and will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including:
· | the duration and scope of the pandemic; | |
· | governmental, business and individual actions taken in response to the pandemic and the impact of those actions on national and global economic activity; | |
· | the impact to the capital markets and other sources of liquidity; | |
· | the actions taken in response to economic disruption; | |
· | the impact of business disruptions and reductions in employment levels on our customers and the resulting impact on their demand for our EV charging equipment and related services; | |
· | the increase in business failures among businesses that we serve and with which we collaborate; | |
· | our customers’ ability to pay for our EV charging equipment and related services; and | |
· | our ability to provide our EV charging equipment and related services, including as a result of our employees or our customers working remotely and/or closures of offices and facilities. |
Any of these factors could cause or contribute to the risks and uncertainties identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and could materially adversely affect our business, financial statements.condition and results of operations.
