NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization and Operations
KULR Technology Group, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, KULR Technology Corporation (collectively referred to as “KULR” or the “Company”), develops and commercializes high-performance thermal management technologies for electronics, batteries, and other components across a range of applications. Currently, the Company is focused on targeting both high performance aerospace and Department of Defense (“DOD”) applications, such as space exploration, satellite communications, and underwater vehicles, and applying them to mass market commercial applications, such as lithium-ion battery energy storage, electric vehicles, fifth generation (“5G”) communication, cloud computer infrastructure, consumer and industrial devices. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company commenced digital asset mining operations.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company operates in a dynamic and highly competitive industry and believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows: ability to obtain future financing; advances and trends in new technologies and industry standards; regulatory approval and market acceptance of the Company’s products; development of sales channels; certain strategic relationships; litigation or claims against the Company based on intellectual property, patent, product, regulatory, or other factors; and the Company’s ability to attract and retain employees necessary to support its growth.
The “Tariff War”, especially with China, Canada and Mexico, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s supply chain potentially causing financial difficulty for the Company’s direct or indirect customers and reduced demand of the Company’s products. A continuation of these conflicts could have adverse changes in international trade policies and relations. Tariffs could increase the cost of the Company’s products and the components that go into making them. These increased costs could adversely impact the gross margin that the Company earns on its products. Tariffs could also make the Company’s products more expensive for customers, which could make the Company’s products less competitive and reduce consumer demand. Changing the Company’s operations in accordance with new or changed trade restrictions can be expensive, time-consuming and disruptive to the Company’s operations.
In addition, the Company has invested in Bitcoin, which is a digital asset. Digital assets are loosely regulated and there is no central marketplace for asset exchange. Supply is determined by a computer code, not by a central bank, and prices have been extremely volatile. Certain digital asset exchanges have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. Any of the Company’s digital assets that reside on an exchange that shuts down may be lost. Several factors may affect the price of digital assets, including, but not limited to: supply and demand, investors’ expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, interest rates, currency exchange rates or future regulatory measures (if any) that restrict the trading of digital assets, and the use of digital assets as a form of payment. There is no assurance that digital assets will maintain their long-term value in terms of purchasing power in the future, or that acceptance of digital asset payments by mainstream retail merchants and commercial businesses will continue to grow.
As digital assets have grown in popularity and market size, various countries and jurisdictions have begun to develop regulations governing the digital asset industry. To the extent future regulatory actions or policies limit the ability to exchange digital assets or utilize them for payments, the demand for digital assets could be reduced. Furthermore, regulatory actions may limit the ability of end-users to convert digital assets into fiat currency (e.g., U.S. dollars) or use digital assets to pay for goods and services. Such regulatory actions or policies could result in a reduction of demand, and in turn, a decline in the underlying digital asset unit prices.
The effect of any future regulatory change on digital assets in general is impossible to predict, but such change could be substantial and adverse to the Company and the value of the Company’s investments in digital assets.
Digital assets are not insured or protected under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or the Securities Investor Protection Company (“SIPC”). Accordingly, with respect to its Bitcoin investment, the Company does not enjoy the same protection as other assets covered by the FDIC or SIPC.

Basis of Presentation
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 annual 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2025, and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2025, or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related disclosures as of December 31, 2024 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-K on March 31, 2025. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Since the date of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies, except as disclosed in this note.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, together with amounts disclosed in the related notes to the financial statements. The Company’s significant estimates used in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, fair value calculations for intangible assets, equity securities, stock-based compensation and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consisted primarily of cash, digital assets and accounts receivable. The Company’s concentrations of credit risk also include concentrations from key customers and vendors.
Cash Concentrations
A significant portion of the Company’s cash is held at one major financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Cash held in US bank institutions is currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 at each institution. There were uninsured balances of $

Customer and Revenue Concentrations
The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue, or whose accounts receivable balances individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable, as follows:
Revenue | Accounts Receivable |
| |||||||
For the Three Months Ended | As of | As of |

Customer I | * | * | | % | | % | |||
Total |
| | % | | % | | % | | % |
* | Less than 10% |
There is no assurance the Company will continue to receive significant revenue from any of these customers. Any reduction or delay in operating activity from any of the Company’s significant customers, or a delay or default in payment by any significant customer, or termination of agreements with significant customers, could materially harm the Company’s business and prospects. As a result of the Company’s significant customer concentrations, its gross profit and results from operations could fluctuate significantly due to changes in political, environmental, or economic conditions, or the loss of, reduction of business from, or less favorable terms with any of the Company’s significant customers.
Custody of Digital Assets
The Company currently holds and intends to continue to hold all of its digital assets in a custodial account at a U.S. based, institutional-grade custodian (who may hold the Company’s digital assets in the United States or other territories) that has demonstrated records of regulatory compliance and information security. The custodian may also serve as a liquidity provider.
If the Company’s custodially-held digital assets were considered to be the property of the custodian’s estates in the event that the custodian were to enter bankruptcy, receivership or similar insolvency proceedings, the Company could be treated as a general unsecured creditor of the custodian, inhibiting the Company’s ability to exercise ownership rights with respect to such digital assets and this may ultimately result in the loss of the value related to some or all of such digital assets.
Additionally, the digital assets the Company holds with our custodian and transact with our trade execution partners does not enjoy the same protections as are available to cash or securities deposited with or transacted by institutions subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at their contractual amounts, less an estimate for credit losses. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no allowances for credit losses were determined to be necessary. Management estimates the allowance for credit losses based on existing economic conditions, the financial conditions of the customers, and the amount and age of past due accounts. Receivables are considered past due if full payment is not received by the contractual due date. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for bad debts only after all collection attempts have been exhausted.
Digital Assets
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets (“ASU 2023-08”), which provides an update to existing digital asset guidance and requires an entity to measure certain digital assets at fair value. In addition, this guidance requires disclosures related to digital assets once it is adopted. As of January 1, 2024, the Company has adopted ASU 2023-08.
The Company reflects digital assets held at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows, the activity from the remeasurement of digital assets at fair value on the consolidated statements of operations, and the required expanded disclosures in Note 3, Digital Assets. There was no cumulative effect adjustment to the Company’s retained earnings balance as a result of the adoption of ASU 2023-08.
Digital assets are generally valued using prices as reported on reputable and liquid exchanges and may involve using an average of bid and ask quotes using closing prices provided by such exchanges as of the date and time of determination. Since the digital assets are traded on a 24-hour period, the Company uses the price at 4:00pm Eastern Standard Time (“EST”) to value its digital assets.
Mining of Digital Assets
The Company leased digital asset mining equipment, which provides hashrates to a mining pool operator. The Company derives a portion of its revenue from its digital asset mining activities by providing hashrates as part of transaction verification services within the digital currency networks of cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin, commonly termed “cryptocurrency mining.” In consideration for these services, the Company receives digital awards which are recorded as revenue, based on the daily amount of bitcoin earned. The Company’s digital assets are recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value according to the Company’s accounting practices for digital assets. Unrealized gains or losses on the remeasurement of digital assets mined are recorded in the statement of operations. Lease costs associated with the digital asset mining operation are recorded as cost of revenue.

Inventory
The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with products when future commercialization is considered probable, and a future economic benefit is expected to be realized. These costs consist of finished goods, raw materials, manufacturing-related costs, transportation and freight, and other indirect overhead costs.
Inventory is comprised of carbon fiber velvet thermal interface solutions and internal short circuit batteries, which are available for sale, as well as raw materials and work in process related primarily to the manufacture of safe cases. Safe cases provide a safe and cost-effective solution to commercially store and transport lithium batteries and mitigate the impacts of cell-to-cell thermal runway propagation. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The cost of inventory that is sold to third parties is included within cost of sales and the cost of inventory that is given as samples is included within operating expenses. The Company periodically reviews for slow-moving, excess or obsolete inventories. Products that are determined to be obsolete, if any, are written down to net realizable value. On occasion, the Company pays for inventory prior to receiving the goods. These payments are recorded as inventory deposits until the goods are received and these costs are included in the current asset section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Inventory at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was comprised of the following:

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, inventory deposits were $
Finished goods inventory is held on-site at the San Diego, California and Webster, Texas locations. Certain raw materials are held off-site with certain contract manufacturers.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets, such as cash, accounts receivable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, notes payable and Prepaid Advance Liability approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The carrying amount of the Company’s digital assets are recorded at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), based on quoted prices on the active exchange(s) that the Company has determined is the principal market for such assets (Level I inputs). The cost basis of digital assets is determined using the specific identification of each unit received. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are now recorded to other (expense) income, net in our consolidated statement of operations.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.
The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
● | Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer; |
● | Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
● | Step 3: Determine the transaction price; |
● | Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
● | Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation. |
For sales contracts with terms of more than one year, the Company recognizes any significant financing component as revenue over the contractual period using the effective interest method, and the associated interest income is reflected accordingly on the consolidated statements of operations and included in other income.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized revenue primarily from the following different types of contracts:
● | Product sales – Revenue is recognized at the point in time the customer obtains control of the goods and the Company satisfies its performance obligation, which is generally at the time it ships the product to the customer. For certain product sales contracts, the Company acts as an agent and revenue in connection with these contracts is presented net of the related costs. |
● | Contract services – Revenue is recognized pursuant to the terms of each individual contract when the Company satisfies the respective performance obligations, which could be recognized at a point in time or over the term of the contract. Contract services revenue that is recognized over time, may be recognized using the input method, based on labor hours expended, or using the output method based on milestones achieved, depending on the contract. |
● | Mining of digital assets – The Company has entered into a lease agreement with a digital asset mining services company to operate digital asset mining machines on behalf of the Company and provide mining pool operating and hosting services. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. The Company is entitled to digital asset awards once it begins to perform hash calculations for the pool operator in accordance with the operator’s specifications. The Company’s fractional share is based on the total blocks expected to be generated on the Bitcoin network for the daily 24-hour period. Revenue from digital assets is considered non-cash consideration. |

Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and deferred revenues (contract liabilities) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. However, we sometimes receive advances or deposits from our customers resulting in contract liabilities. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had billed accounts receivable of $
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period.

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This update also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023 – 09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted.

Overview
KULR Technology Group, Inc., through our wholly owned subsidiary KULR Technology Corporation, develops and commercializes high-performance thermal management technologies for batteries, electronics, and other components across an array of battery-powered applications. For aerospace and Department of Defense applications, our solutions target high performance applications in direct energy, hypersonic vehicles and satellite communications. For commercial applications, our main focus is a total solution to battery safety and sustainability by which we aim to mitigate the effects of thermal runaway propagation which has been known to cause random fires in lithium-ion (“Li-ion”) batteries. This total battery safety solution can be used for electric vehicles, energy storage, battery recycling transportation, cloud computing and 5G communication devices. Our proprietary core technology is a carbon fiber material that provides what we believe to be superior thermal conductivity and heat dissipation for an ultra-lightweight and pliable material. By leveraging our proprietary cooling solutions that have been developed through longstanding partnerships with advanced technology users like NASA, the Jet Propulsion Lab and others, our products and services make commercial battery powered products safer and electronics systems cooler and lighter.
KULR’s business model continues to evolve from being a component supplier, to providing more design and testing services to our customers. The next step of evolution is to provide total system solutions to address market needs. In order to scale up as a systems provider more quickly and efficiently in (i) the Li-ion battery energy storage and recycling markets, (ii) battery cell design and safety testing, and (iii) advanced thermal management systems, such as hypersonic vehicles, KULR will actively seek partners for joint venture, technology licensing and other strategic partnership models. The goal is to leverage the Company’s thermal design technology expertise to create market leading products, which KULR will take to market directly to capture more value for KULR shareholders.
We have not yet achieved profitability and expect to continue to incur cash outflows from operations, and as a result, we will eventually need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability. Until that time, we may continue to raise cash, as and when required, through equity or debt financings.
KULR ONE and KULR ONE Design Solutions (K1DS)
KULR’s primary technical domain that is shaping the future landscape of the Company is safe, high-performance energy storage solutions. To effectively support and provide energy storage solutions, a holistic approach is necessary. Batteries are an interdisciplinary technology which require:

(7) | Battery system-level testing and characterization, |
(8) | Expertise in battery management, controls, and monitoring, |
(9) | Ability to support beginning of life to end of life requirements for transport and recycling. |
The implementation of a holistic approach resulted in the onboarding and development of a product and service portfolio over the course of the last decade that provides products, safety testing services, modeling and analysis services, electrical testing services, transport and recycling packaging and logistics, and battery design solutions. Collectively, this is referred to as KULR ONE Design Solutions (K1-DS), which is actively leveraged by the Company to facilitate engagement with customers no matter the battery life cycle phase they are in.
28
Currently, the primary aspects of K1-DS utilized by industry are product sales of trigger cells and TRS, the safety testing methodologies, and the utilization of the K1-DS platform as a whole to develop customized energy storage solutions.
Internally, KULR has leveraged K1-DS to develop off the shelf KULR ONE architecture which represent a groundbreaking innovation that is driving the world’s transition to a more sustainable electrification economy. These revolutionary designs offer a unique combination of cutting-edge features, including unparalleled safety, exceptional performance, intelligent functionality, modular construction, reliability, and customizability. The KULR ONE battery packs have been engineered to meet the exacting demands of the world’s most demanding applications. As of now, the Company is focused on the KULR ONE Space for space exploration, the KULR ONE Guardian for military applications, and the KULR ONE Max for rack-style grid energy storage systems, also referred to as Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). These architectures collectively offer a comprehensive solution that addresses the critical need for safe and reliable energy storage in a wide range of industries, from aerospace and defense to electric vehicles and consumer electronics. One of the key features of the KULR ONE family of battery packs is the modularity and consistency of the architectures. This allows for greater flexibility as customers can easily adjust the size and configuration of the battery pack to suit their specific application requirements while still also benefitting from testing previously conducted by the KULR team for their specific architecture. In addition to offering exceptional performance and reliability, the KULR ONE battery packs are also designed with safety as a top priority. They incorporate state-of-the-art thermal management technology to prevent overheating and ensure safe operation even in the most challenging environments. Overall, the KULR ONE family of battery packs, depicted with the following picture, is at the forefront of the global drive towards sustainable electrification. With its unparalleled combination of safety, performance, intelligence, modularity, reliability, and customizability, KULR ONE is positioned to revolutionize the way we think about energy storage and powering the world’s most demanding applications.
29
KULR ONE Space
The KULR ONE Space (K1S) platform is the more mature of the KULR ONE architectures and is currently leveraged by multiple customers for upcoming space exploration missions which require energy storage with thermal runaway safe designs. The K1S is built upon a passively propagation resistant and flame arresting (PPRFA) architecture. This architecture, combined with KULR’s utilization of MOLICEL lithium-ion cells, provides one of the safest and highest performing off-the-shelf space flight battery designs available today. The 400 series of the K1S platform serves as the first ever commercial offering of a 20793 rated battery with final certification expected from NASA in Q2 2025.
KULR Battery Management System (BMS) + AI = KULR CoreTM
KULR’s path towards 20793 certification required the development of custom battery management system (BMS) technology built with radiation tolerant chipset. The development of the BMS in multiple forms is nearing completion of qualification campaigns at which point they will be added to KULR’s product offering. The ready to fly design posts radiation tolerance up to 75 kRad, 8 string control and passive balancing, and a listing of key safety features (e.g. overcharge, overdischarge, overcurrent protections).
30
Moving forward, this BMS will serve as a foundation for KULR’s step into facilitating edge-AI for space applications. KULR works to integrate the Company’s BMS, developed initially for space applications, with the Nvidia Jetson platform such that the processing and control of the BMS will be facilitated with the Jetson chipset. The resulting combination of computing and battery control capabilities is the KULR CoreTM. The all in one AI compute chipset combined with BMS controls for the batteries will result in every battery flown with the KULR CoreTM being AI enabled, thus providing KULR’s stepping stone into edge-AI. In addition to BMS functionality, the KULR CoreTM will provide every user with a flight (or mission) computer and additional data processing capabilities with the leading chipset available.
Additional targeted capabilities of the KULR CoreTM include the following:
● | Operation of the Jetson platform in a radiation tolerant enclosure, |
● | Dual or triple redundant processing and fault checking for ensuring fault tolerance of critical operations, |
● | AI driven battery state-of-health monitoring and subsequent optimization of related functionality (charging, discharging, solar array interaction), |
The KULR CoreTM will first serve to replace the BMS and flight (mission) computer. Moving forward, the powerful capabilities of the Jetson platform will be leveraged to facilitate other spacecraft functions for GNC, thermal management, and communications. The end result will be a mission autonomous spacecraft.
31
Battery Design and Analysis
For the technology domain of battery design and analysis, KULR provides custom batteries, batteries designed based on KULR ONE architectures (Space, Guardian and Air), and related off-the-shelf products (such as trigger cells, NASA WI37A screened cells, and TRS). These product and service offerings are outlined with the following figure.
32
Cell and Battery Testing
KULR has invested heavily in an expansive cell and battery testing suite of services over the last 3 years. Testing capabilities are grouped between abuse testing, electrical testing, and environmental testing and are reflected with the following figure.
Battery Production
A natural progression for the Company following the development of the KULR ONE platforms was to expand into the low volume production space for custom, high-end, and/or boutique lithium-ion batteries that require manual or semi manual assembly. Reducing pricing and lead times to a level suitable for the emerging commercialized space and defense sectors also required the onboarding of machining and fabrication equipment. KULR’s battery component fabrication and assembly production capabilities are highlighted with the following figure.
33
KULR VIBE Solution
In 2022, we acquired intellectual property from Vibetech International, LLC (“Vibetech”), which allows KULR to expand itself as a vertically integrated energy management company focused on sustainable energy solutions. For nearly twenty years, the primary application has been aviation. However, advances in measurement and computing technologies have allowed KULR VIBE to provide transformative and scalable solutions across transportation, renewable energy (wind farm), manufacturing, industrial, performance racing and autonomous aerial (drone) applications among others. KULR VIBE addresses one the most challenging issues with advanced machinery today; excessive energy robbing vibrations that are destructive to both the machinery and in many cases the operator. The KULR VIBE suite of technologies utilize proprietary sensor processes with advanced learning algorithms to both achieve precision balancing solutions, and successfully predict component failure based on its comprehensive database of vibration signatures. Its enhanced AI learning algorithms pinpoint areas where excess vibrations cause a loss of energy that can lead to system malfunctions, weakened performance, and maintenance issues.
This innovative technology can be utilized as a standalone solution or be paired with existing track and balance technology to facilitate vibration reduction, achieve increased energy production, and reduce mechanical failures thereby extending platform life. KULR VIBE recently balanced the motors and blades of a mission critical drone to demonstrate the benefits of the technology. The results were a 23% increase in battery life and a lift increase of 45%. Same motors, same blades, KULR VIBE optimized.
The KULR VIBE suite of products and services have provided vibration analysis and mitigation to global companies across multiple industries and sectors. According to Fact.MR, an insights-driven global market intelligence company, the global vibration motor market is estimated at $6.5 billion in 2023 and is forecast to reach $24.1 billion by 2032, growing at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (“CAGR”) of 14.1% during 2023-2032.
KULR Xero Vibe Fan
Key challenges for server and data centers are cooling of components, power consumption, and acoustics. KULR has leveraged the KULR VIBE software, developed initially for helicopter balancing applications, to develop the Xero Vibe fan. The unprecedented low vibration levels of the Xero Vibe fan provide for increased cooling efficiency, higher fan RP, and decreased power consumption. KULR works actively to finalize the qualification of the Xero Vibe fan and automate the balancing techniques to facilitate enough meaningful throughput to be able to provide solution for the server and data center industry.
The Future is Energy + AI
We believe the future of KULR is Energy + AI. We are building our AI infrastructure on industry leading Nvidia and AMD semiconductor platforms, and they are hosted on a hybrid of private cloud and Microsoft Azure. As the world faces shortages of both technical expertise to design batteries and raw materials to build batteries, KULR aims to address this need with KULR ONE AI (K1AI). The Company is collecting large quantities of performance and safety test datasets for the most highly used commercial lithium-ion cells and combining that data with AI techniques to drive battery design and reduce engineering touch time to market. This product is to target the following markets:
● | Aerospace and defense systems, such as CubeSat batteries meeting JSC 20793 safety requirements by NASA |
● | Power tools and industrial equipment |
● | High-performance electric vehicles |
● | Electric vertical take-off and landing (“eVOTL”) |
● | Electric micro-mobility vehicles |
● | Residential and commercial energy storage systems |

Robotics, KULR ONE, and KULR CoreTM
KULR believes one of most logical terrestrial verticals for the KULR ONE platform and the KULR CoreTM is robotics; specifically battery powered exoskeletons. Right now, battery powered exosuits and exoskeletons rely on OTS batteries that are swappable in nature. This is a limiting factor. KULR will address this with the KULR ONE roadmap which focuses on high energy high power cell combinations, such as the MOLICEL 21700-P50B and its eventual successor. KULR believes this will address two limiting factors for the robotic industry (1) increasing energy and power needs and (2) heat generation and dissipation issues. A pack designed around the KULR ONE reference design, using MOLICEL power cells, means the utilization of a low heat generating pack due to significantly lower resistance of the cells. This “robotics” variation of the KULR ONE platform will be KULR CoreTM enabled.
Battery Recycling and Management
KULR’s SafeCASE technology provides a safe and cost-effective solution to commercially store and transport lithium batteries, which is increasing in frequency as supply chain challenges necessitate battery recycling and end-of-lifecycle management. Whether shipping a single battery, a battery-powered device or a load shipment of batteries, KULR’s technology mitigates the impacts of cell-to-cell thermal runaway propagation and ensures a safe journey. KULR’s Thermal Runaway Shield (TRS) technology is trusted by NASA to ship and store astronauts’ laptop batteries on the International Space Station. KULR is serving a total addressable market for a circular economic model for batteries that will reach over $21 billion by 2025 (estimated based on market data projections published by Grand View Research, Inc. stating that the global battery recycling market size is expected to reach $21.04 billion by 2025).
Aerospace/Defense
KULR’s thermal management solutions enable the defense and aerospace industries to safely deploy electronic technologies that support critical missions and protect national security. Technology in this sector is developing at increasing rates - the space industry alone will be worth nearly $3 trillion in 30 years. The electronic devices being placed into aircrafts, satellites, and missiles are becoming ever smaller and more powerful. Lithium-ion batteries, which are already prone to overheating and propagation, are exposed to harsh thermal environments as well as shock and vibration during aerospace and defense operations. The Company has partnered with Lockheed Martin, Leidos and other prime contractors to develop and supply mission-critical technologies for hypersonic vehicles, high-power magnetic wave, and other defense systems.

The Independent Members of the Board have determined that the issuance represents a pivotal strategic move to reinforce and enhance the Company’s flexibility to optimize the Company’s negotiating position in any potential current and/or future engagements with commercial, financial, and/or strategic parties, and to provide defenses against potential hostile third-party actions.
Change in Auditors
On November 1, 2024, CBIZ CPAs P.C. (“CBIZ”) acquired the attest business of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), and substantially all of the partners and staff that provided attestation services for Marcum joined CBIZ. On April 29, 2025, we were notified that Marcum resigned as the independent registered accounting firm of the Company. On April 30, 2025, upon Marcum’s resignation as auditors of the Company and with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, CBIZ was engaged as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
Risks Associated with Ongoing Conflicts
The short and long-term worldwide implications of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are difficult to predict at this time. The imposition of sanctions on Russia by the United States or other countries and possible counter sanctions by Russia, and the resulting economic impacts on oil prices and other materials and goods, could affect the price of materials used in the manufacture of our product candidates. If the price of materials used in the manufacturing of our product candidates increase, that would adversely affect our business and the results of our operations.
Additionally, we do not have operations or material net sales in Israel or Gaza and we currently do not expect the recent hostilities in that region to have a material impact on our business.
Risks Associated with the Tariff War
Geopolitical developments, such as the recent changes in tariff policies by the United States and the retaliatory tariff and non-tariff responses by other countries, especially with China, Canada and Mexico, the prospect of further changes in tariff and trade policies add an additional negative affect on the supply chain. The increased tariffs the U.S. has imposed with these countries could have an adverse effect on our supply chain, potentially causing financial difficulty for our direct or indirect customers and reduced demand of our products. A continuation of these tariffs could have adverse changes in international trade policies and relations. Tariffs could increase the cost of our products and the components that go into making them. These increased costs could adversely impact the gross margin that we earn on our products. Tariffs could also make our products more expensive for customers, which could make our products less competitive and reduce consumer demand. Changing our operations in accordance with new or changed trade restrictions can be expensive, time-consuming and disruptive to our operations.
We cannot predict how the events described above will evolve. If the events continue for a significant period of time or expand to other countries, and depending on the ultimate outcomes of these conflicts, which remain uncertain, they could heighten certain risks disclosed in Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025, including, but not limited to, adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions, including increased inflation, constraints on the availability of commodities, supply chain disruption and decreased business spending; cyber-incidents; disruptions to our or our business partners’ global technology infrastructure, including through cyber-attack or cyber-intrusion; adverse changes in international trade policies and relations; claims, litigation and regulatory enforcement; our ability to implement and execute our business strategy; terrorist activities; our exposure to
36
foreign currency fluctuations; reputational risk; and constraints, volatility, or disruption in the capital markets, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Total Revenue | $ | 2,448,606 | $ | 1,749,104 |
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we generated $2,448,606 and $1,749,104 of revenues from 26 and 34 customers, respectively.
Revenue from product sales during the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased by $545,466 or 87% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. We had 16 product sales customers in the first quarter of 2025, compared with 25 in the first quarter of 2024. Product sales during these periods include sales of our component product, carbon fiber velvet (“CFV”) thermal management solution, internal short circuit battery cells and devices, patented TRS technology, and thermal fiber thermal interface materials. Although the number of customers decreased, the increase in revenue was driven primarily by contracts with two new customers we did not have contracts with during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Revenue from contract services during the three months ended March 31, 2025, decreased by $95,718 or 8% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in revenue is primarily due to a decline in customers to 12 in the first quarter of 2025, from 14 in the first quarter of 2024. Service revenue includes unique engineering design and testing projects customized for specific customers.
Revenue from mining digital assets during the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $249,754. The contract was entered into on March 7, 2025. There was no mining of digital asset revenue recognized prior to this period.
Our customers and prospective customers are large organizations with multiple levels of management, controls/procedures, and contract evaluation/authorization. Furthermore, our solutions are new and do not necessarily fit into pre-existing patterns of purchase commitments. Accordingly, the business activity cycle between expression of initial customer interest to shipping, acceptance and billing can be lengthy, unpredictable, and lumpy, which can influence the timing, consistency and reporting of sales growth.
Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
Cost of revenue consisted of the cost of our products, labor expenses directly related to product sales or contract services and lease costs incurred pursuant to the Machine Lease Agreement in connection with mining digital assets.
Product mix plays an important part in our reported average margins for any period. Because we are introducing new products at an early stage in our development cycle and the margins earned can vary significantly between periods, customers, products and services due to the learning process, customer negotiating strengths, and product mix.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, cost of revenues was $2,242,261 and $1,238,315, respectively, representing an increase of $1,003,946 or 81%. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, gross profit was $206,345 and $510,789, respectively, a decline of $304,444 or 60%. Our gross profit margins were 8% and 29%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in the current period profit margin resulted primarily from increased hours spent on service contracts and a net loss on mining of digital assets.
37
Research and Development
Research and development (“R&D”) includes expenses incurred in connection with the R&D of our CFV thermal management solution, high-areal-capacity battery electrodes, and 3D engineering for a rechargeable battery. Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, R&D expenses were $2,449,900 and $954,625, respectively, representing an increase of $1,495,275 or 157%. The increase was comprised primarily of $908,215 for R&D consulting services, a $366,309 increase in stock-based compensation, an $111,669 increase in building related expenses for the facility in Texas, partially offset by $48,304 of engineering labor and other costs charged that were reduced or redeployed to revenue-generating activities and charged to costs of revenue.
We expect that our R&D expenses will increase as we expand our future operations.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses consisted primarily of stock-based compensation, marketing and advertising, salaries, payroll taxes and other benefits, Board compensation, accounting and tax, consulting fees, travel and entertainment, rent expense, office expenses, and legal and professional fees.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, selling, general and administrative expenses were $7,200,250 and $4,212,898, respectively, representing an increase of $2,987,352 or 71%. The increase is primarily due to a planned increase in advertising and marketing services of $1,238,607, a write down of equipment deposits of $568,777, an increase in stock-based compensation of $425,129 primarily due to new equity award grants, a planned increase in insurance of $307,042, a planned increase in consulting fees for exploring new business opportunities of $246,288, an increase in accounting and tax services of $173,462, and a planned increase in outsourced professional services of $144,780, partially offset by a decrease in labor costs of $160,631.
Other Income (Expense)
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, other expense (net) was $9,362,853 and $352,142, respectively, representing an increase of $9,010,711, or 2,559%. The change is primarily attributable to the $9,748,600 unrealized loss on Bitcoin holdings due to the change in market price of Bitcoin to $82,549 as of March 31, 2025, partially offset by an increase of $273,600 for the change in fair value of accrued issuable equity, an increase of $168,424 from interest earned from the licensing agreements, a decrease of $122,305 in interest expense due to the full repayment of the prepaid advance liability on March 27, 2024, and a decrease of $92,202 for amortization of debt discount in connection with merchant cash advances.
Our Bitcoin Acquisition Strategy
In December 2024, we adopted bitcoin as our primary treasury reserve asset on an ongoing basis, subject to market conditions and our anticipated cash needs. Our strategy includes acquiring and holding bitcoin using cash that exceeds our working capital requirements, and from time to time, subject to market conditions, issuing equity or debt securities or engaging in other capital raising transactions with the objective of using the proceeds to purchase bitcoin. For example, we began issuing shares under our “at-the-market” offering program in the second half of 2024, and used proceeds from these capital markets transactions to acquire bitcoin. We view our bitcoin holdings as long term holdings and expect to continue to accumulate bitcoin. We have not set any specific target for the amount of bitcoin we seek to hold, and we will continue to monitor market conditions in determining whether to engage in additional bitcoin purchases. This overall strategy also contemplates that we could periodically leverage or sell bitcoin for general corporate purposes or in connection with strategies that generate tax benefits in accordance with applicable law, enter into additional capital raising transactions, including those that could be collateralized by our bitcoin holdings, and consider pursuing strategies to create income streams or otherwise generate funds using our bitcoin holdings.
38
Additionally, on March 7, 2025, the Company entered into a sixty-day Machine Lease Agreement with a bitcoin mining services company to operate 2,500 S-19 bitcoin mining machines on our behalf, at a total lease cost of $850,000. Through March 31, 2025, 2.97 bitcoin have been earned pursuant to the Machine Lease Agreement, at an average value of $84,186 per bitcoin.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had cash balances of $24,449,297 and $29,831,858, respectively, and working capital of $27,418,991 and $29,498,421, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we also had Bitcoin holdings of $55,281,690 and $20,281,184, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $9,771,951 and $3,907,406, respectively. Our net cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily attributable to our net loss of $18,806,658, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $11,891,113, plus $2,856,406 of net cash used to fund changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities. Our net cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily attributable to our net loss of $5,008,876, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $1,853,354, plus $751,884 of net cash used to fund changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, net cash used in investing activities was $44,716,519 and $13,400, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025, was related to investments in digital assets of $44,499,352, purchases of property and equipment of $120,229 and deposits paid for purchases of property and equipment of $96,938.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $49,105,909 and $3,524,885, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily due to net proceeds from ATM equity financing totaling $49,871,627 and proceeds from the exercise of stock options totaling $7,565, partially offset by notes payable repayments of $577,675, and payments for deferred financing costs of $195,000. Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024, was due to proceeds from SEPA Advance Notices totaling $2,910,651, and net proceeds from notes payable totaling $963,900, partially offset by notes payable repayments of $349,666.
Future cash requirements for our current liabilities include approximately $2,723,883 for accounts payable and accrued expenses and $421,711 for future payments under operating and finance leases. Future cash requirements for long-term liabilities include $777,439 for future payments under operating and finance leases plus other non-current liabilities.
Our primary source of liquidity has historically been cash generated from equity and debt offerings. Under ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, we have the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about our ability to meet future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. We have a history of recurring net losses and recurring use of cash in operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company received gross proceeds of $51,152,353 pursuant to the ATM. Given our cash balance as of March 31, 2025, there is no substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due within the twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.

While no assurance can be provided that we will be successful in raising additional capital from the ATM, during the period from April 1, 2025 through May 15, 2025, the Company issued 13,945,241 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $19,827,210 pursuant to the ATM.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements between us and any other entity that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on financial conditions, changes in financial conditions, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial results will be affected. The accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates and judgments and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results are described below.
We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. There are items within our consolidated financial statements that require estimation but are not deemed critical, as defined above.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1) and are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations of the Effectiveness of Controls
Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
None.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The Company has included in Item 1A of Part 1 of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (“Form 10-K”), a description of certain risks and uncertainties that could affect the Company’s business, future performance or financial condition (the “Risk Factors”). There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors we previously disclosed in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC, except as described below. Our operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or by factors that we currently consider immaterial to our business.
Changes in trade policies, including tariffs, could adversely affect our business.
In first quarter of 2025, we observed significant shift in U.S. trade policy, with increased tariffs and the imposition of new tariffs that could impact our supply chain and our business. While certain of such tariffs have been paused, ultimately trade policy decisions are outside of our control and may have consequences for our business and operations. Changes in trade policies, such as new tariffs or increases in tariffs, or reactionary measures including retaliatory tariffs, legal challenges, or currency manipulation, could adversely impact us.
Certain of our vendors source materials, components, or finished goods, from countries, such as China, which have been in the past, are currently subject to, or may in the future be subject to tariffs imposed by the U.S. government. The imposition of future tariffs or the increase in existing tariffs could result in these vendors increasing their prices, resulting in increased costs for us. In addition, increased costs may make our business model less attractive to new customers. The ultimate impact of tariffs and other trade restrictions will depend on various factors, including how long such trade policies remain in place, the ultimate levels of trade restrictions and how other countries respond to the U.S. trade policies. While we are evaluating the potential impacts of the trade policies, as well as our ability to mitigate their related impacts, changes in laws or policies governing the terms of foreign trade, and in particular increased trade restrictions, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
