ARCIMOTO, INC.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Arcimoto, Inc. (the "Company”) was incorporated in the State of Oregon on November 21, 2007. The Company’s mission is to catalyze the global shift to a sustainable transportation system. Over the past 16 years, the Company has developed a new vehicle platform designed around the needs of everyday drivers. Having approximately one-third the weight and one-third of the footprint of the average car, the Arcimoto platform’s purpose is to bring the joy of ultra-efficient, pure electric driving to the masses. To date, the Company currently has two vehicle products built on this platform that target specific niches in the vehicle market: its flagship product, the Fun Utility Vehicle® ("FUV®”), for everyday consumer trips, and the Deliverator® for last-mile delivery and general fleet utility.

 

In February 2023, two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company were formed, Arcimoto Property Holding Company, LLC and APHC Holdings, LLC. APHC Holdings, LLC is the parent of Arcimoto Property Holding Company, LLC. Arcimoto Property Holding Company, LLC is the borrower in a loan obtained on February 17, 2023 for $6,000,000 that is secured by a guarantee provided by Arcimoto, Inc. and the real estate owned by the Company.

 

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split

 

On November 11, 2022, the Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split of 1-for-20. This action enabled the Company to access additional funds for operational needs by maintaining its listing requirements. The 1-for-20 reverse stock split decreased the number of outstanding shares and increased net loss per common share. All per share and share amounts presented have been retroactively adjusted for the effect of this reverse stock split for all periods presented.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses since inception and management expects losses to continue for the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company does not have sufficient cash on hand to pay obligations as they come due.

 

On January 14, 2022 the Company entered into an agreement with Canaccord Genuity LLC ("Canaccord”) to raise the at-the-market ("ATM”) offering amount to $100,000,000, and on October 4, 2022, the Company signed an equity line of credit ("ELOC”) agreement with Tumim Stone Capital LLC whereby the investor will provide up to $50,000,000 of financing with certain restrictions. On January 18, 2023, the Company obtained additional funds totaling $12.0 million via a confidentially marketed public equity offering. Due to the terms of this offering, the Company is restricted from variable rate transactions and, thus, unable to utilize the ATM and ELOC to raise additional capital for a period of one year from January 18, 2023, the date the Prospectus Supplement was filed. The terms of this offering also restricted equity transactions for a period of 90 days unless approved by more than 50% of the investors in the offering filed on January 18, 2023. After that 90 day period, the Company became able to offer to sell its securities in a public offering under its S-3 registration. However, this ability to obtain additional financing is dependent on the price and volume of the Company’s common stock and may be further restricted by certain Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC”) rules that limit the number of shares the Company is able to sell under its Form S-3 registration statement.

 

During 2023, the Company obtained a loan that is secured by the Company’s land and buildings as disclosed in Note 6 - Mortgage Loan. The principal amount of this loan is $6,000,000 and includes a discount of $600,000. The interest rate on this loan is 20% and the loan was originally due in August 2023 unless an additional six-month extension is granted. The extension can only be granted under certain conditions, which include, in part, payment of all accrued interest and a facility fee of $300,000 and that no event or potential event of a default exists. On July 14, 2023, the Company was granted an additional six-month extension and the loan is now due in February 2024 (see Note 15 Subsequent Events). The Company also received a $500,000 loan from a related party in May 2023 and raised approximately $2,300,000, net of fees, from a registered direct offering in June 2023. Furthermore, the Company’s accounts payable balance is approximately $8,200,000 at August 9, 2023, of which a significant amount is more than 30 days past due.

Management has evaluated these conditions and concluded that they raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least a period of one year from the issuance of these unaudited financial statements. Management has initiated a series of actions to alleviate the Company’s financial situation: (1) reducing headcount significantly via lay-offs and an unpaid furlough program that started at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2022 and may likely continue into the foreseeable future; (2) temporarily suspending production in the first quarter of 2023 in order to relocate operations to a new facility and focus purchases on the minimum needed to resume production, which was resumed in February 2023; (3) negotiating payment plans with the Company’s vendors that are critical to the Company’s operations; and (4) monetizing assets that may not be critical to the core business. Management also plans to pursue other financing solutions through the credit and equity markets. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure such additional financing or, if available, that it will be on favorable terms or that the Company will be able to sufficiently reduce costs for any such additional financing to meet its needs. Therefore, the plans cannot be deemed probable of being implemented. As a result, the Company has concluded that management’s plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP”) for interim financial information, and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statement presentation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2023, and the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 14, 2023.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and its related disclosures. Actual amounts could differ materially from those estimates.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method ("FIFO”)) or net realizable value. Inventories consist mainly of purchased electric motors, electrical storage and transmission equipment, and component parts. Raw materials include parts that have been sub-assembled and manufactured parts.

The Company is required to remit partial prepayments for some purchases of its inventories acquired from overseas vendors which are included in prepaid inventory. The Company is currently selling vehicles below the base cost of a finished unit. Accordingly, the Company expensed all labor and overhead as period costs and recorded an allowance to reduce certain inventories to net realizable value of approximately $948,000 and $1,280,000 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The amount expensed for all labor and overhead was approximately $3,456,000 and $7,073,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $1,836,000 and $4,024,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets primarily consist of trade names/trademarks, proprietary technology, and customer relationships. They are amortized using the straight-lined method over a period of 10 to 14 years. The Company assesses the recoverability of its finite-lived intangible assets when there are indications of potential impairment.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

The Company’s computation of loss per share ("EPS”) includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as the loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., common stock warrants and common stock options) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

 

Basic and diluted loss per common share is the same for all periods presented because all common stock warrants and common stock options outstanding were anti-dilutive.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company excluded the outstanding Employee Equity Plans ("EEP”) and other securities summarized below calculated using the Treasury Stock Method for options and other instruments and the If-Converted Method for convertible notes, which entitled the holders thereof to ultimately acquire shares of common stock, from its calculation of earnings per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

  

   Three Months Ended June 30,   Six Months Ended June 30, 
   2023   2022   2023   2022 
Options and other instruments under the 2012, 2015, 2018, and 2022 Plans to purchase common stock

All options and warrants were excluded from the table above as they are out of the money.

 

Convertible Notes, Mortgage Loan and Warrants

 

We have elected the fair value option under ASC 825-10-25 to account for the $4,500,000 and $10,000,000 convertible notes, as well as the mortgage loan and warrants. We have utilized a binomial lattice methodology in estimating the fair values of the convertible notes. The mortgage loan fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow model. The warrant fair values were estimated using a Black Scholes model. The fair value measurements are classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy as provided by ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement”. The fair valuation of these convertible notes, mortgage loan and warrants use inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly. Under this option, changes in fair value are recorded as unrealized gain/loss on convertible notes, mortgage loan and warrants fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13”) which replaces the current incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology which is referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL”) methodology. The measurement of credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans receivables and trade accounts receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees and other similar instruments) and net investment in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC”) Topic 842 – Leases. ASU 2016-13 also made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities and requires credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on such securities management does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell. The Company adopted the provisions of this ASU effective January 1, 2023. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 6: MORTGAGE LOAN

 

On February 17, 2023, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Arcimoto Property Holding Company, LLC ("Borrower”) entered into a loan ("Mortgage Loan”) with HRE FUV Lending, LLC (the "Lender”) and issued a related Promissory Note (the "Note”) payable to the Lender. Pursuant to the Mortgage Loan and the Note, the Borrower is receiving a $6,000,000 loan secured by all the real properties of the Borrower and all equity interests of Borrower. The loan (i) has an initial term of six months with the possibility of a further six month extension upon the satisfaction of certain conditions; (ii) has an interest rate equal to 20% per annum of the first six months (with the possibility of retroactive reduction to 10% if repaid in full within such six (6) months without an event of default having occurred) and zero percent (0%) per annum for the six (6) month extension period; (iii) requires an upfront fee to Lender of $600,000 on the date the loan is made (and an additional facility fee to Lender of $300,000 if the loan is not repaid in full within the first six (6) months or if an event of default occurs); (iv) requires that, in the event of prepayment, a minimum of $600,000 in interest must have been paid (with the possibility of reduction to $300,000 if repaid in full within the first six (6) months if no event of default has occurred); (v) provides that $500,000 of the loan amount is retained as a holdback by Lender for disbursement to Borrower only after certain construction is completed at the real property and the cost of such construction is paid in full by Borrower; (vi) contemplates an increase in the interest rate if an event of default occurs; (vii) is fully guaranteed by Holdings and is subject to a limited recourse guaranty by the Company. The $500,000 holdback was received by the Company during the quarter ended June 30, 2023. On July 14, 2023, the Company extended the maturity date of the loan six months to February 2024.

 

The Company elected to account for this mortgage loan using the fair value option. In estimating the fair value of this debt, a discounted cash flows model was used. The note’s fair value measurement is classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy as provided by ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement.” The fair valuation of this mortgage loan uses inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly in a discounted cash flows model. Under this option, changes in fair value of the debt are recorded as an unrealized loss on mortgage loan fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations at inception of $336,194. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $1,367,125 and $1,590,085, respectively. The fair value of the loan was $7,590,085 as of June 30, 2023. The Company recorded the $600,000 upfront fee to lender as financing costs in the Statement of Operations.

 

NOTE 7: EQUIPMENT NOTES PAYABLE

 

As of June 30, 2023, the Company has financed a total of approximately $1,936,000 of its capital equipment purchases with notes payable having monthly payments ranging from approximately $300 to $12,000, repayment terms ranging from 60 to 72 months, and effective interest rates ranging from 1.99% to 9.90%. Monthly payments for all equipment financing notes payable as of June 30, 2023 are approximately $36,300. These equipment notes mature ranging from November 2023 through May 2028. The balance of equipment financing notes payable was approximately $1,140,000 and $1,351,000 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

 

NOTE 8: LEASES

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company has active operating lease arrangements for office space and production facilities. The Company is typically required to make fixed minimum rent payments relating to its right to use the underlying leased asset. In accordance with the adoption of ASC 842, the Company recorded right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities for these leases as of January 1, 2022.

 

The Company has lease agreements which contain both lease and non-lease components, which it has elected to account for as a single lease component when the payments are fixed. As such, variable lease payments not dependent on an index or rate, such as real estate taxes, common area maintenance, and other costs that are subject to fluctuation from period to period are not included in lease measurement. The Company includes extensions in the determination of the lease term when it is reasonably certain that such options will be exercised.

The Company’s lease agreements do not provide an implicit borrowing rate. Therefore, the Company used a benchmark approach to derive an appropriate incremental borrowing rate. The Company benchmarked itself against other companies of similar credit ratings and comparable credit quality and derived an incremental borrowing rate to discount each of its lease liabilities based on the remaining lease term.

On April 25, 2022, the Company ("Debtor”) entered into a $4,500,000 convertible promissory note agreement with Ducera Investments LLC - 2022 Series A ("Creditor”) whereby the Debtor agrees to pay the Creditor the amount borrowed plus interest accrued at an annual rate of 10% compounded quarterly. Subject to certain conditions, interest on the promissory note accrues as additional principal. The term of the April 2022 Note is five years unless conversion privileges are exercised. Conversion can occur at the option of the Creditor, the Debtor or upon maturity and is described below:

 

(i) The Creditor has the option to convert the promissory note at any time prior to the maturity date, in full or in part, into the number of shares of common stock ("Common Stock”), no par value, of the Company equal to the amount determined by dividing the principal amount of this note plus the accrued interest by $140.00 ($7.00 - pre reverse split), subject to adjustment (as adjusted, the "Conversion Price”); (ii) at any time prior to the maturity date, the Debtor may convert the note, in full or in part, at the Conversion Price provided that, in order to exercise the conversion, the closing share price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "Closing Share Price”) for the thirty (30) consecutive trading days prior to, and including, the conversion date exceeds the per share price required to provide the Creditor with shares having a market value of at least 4.5 times $4,500,000 upon conversion; and (iii) if none of a Creditor’s election to convert shares or the Company’s election to convert shares has occurred, then upon the maturity date, the outstanding principal plus accrued interest on the note shall convert into shares of the common stock at the lesser of the Conversion Price and the greater of (x) the per share price required to provide the Creditor with shares having a market value of at least 4 times $4,500,000, and (y) $86.60 (the "Floor Conversion Price”) ($4.33 pre reverse split). In the event that the notes are converted at the Floor Conversion Price, the Company shall also pay to the Creditor on the maturity date a cash payment equal to (x) the principal amount of the note at the maturity date minus (y) the Converted Equity Market Value (as defined below) divided by 4. "Converted Equity Market Value” means the value of the shares of common stock delivered to the Creditor based on a share price equal to the lower of: (i) 10-day volume weighted average price of the common stock for the 10-days immediately prior to, but excluding, the maturity date and (ii) the Closing Share Price on the day immediately prior to the maturity date.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Arcimoto has elected to measure the note at fair value. In estimating the fair value of this debt, a binomial lattice model was used. The required inputs include the risk-free rate, the Company’s stock volatility, stock price on valuation date, and a risk premium. The note’s fair value measurement is classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy as provided by ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement.” The fair valuation of this convertible note uses inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly. Under this option, changes in fair value of the convertible debt are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on convertible note fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result, the Company recorded an unrealized (loss) gain of $(534,030) and $283,560 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and $(2,145,540) for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The balance on this note is $4,604,130 and $4,887,690 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and is classified as a long-term liability on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

$10,000,000 Senior Secured Convertible Note ( "September 2022 Note”)

 

On August 31, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "SPA”) with a third-party investor (the "Buyer” or the "Holder”). Under the terms of the SPA, the Company will issue to the Buyer the notes and warrants pursuant to a currently effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which has sufficient availability for the issuance of the securities on each closing date.

 

Under the SPA, the Company authorized the issuance of one or more series of senior secured convertible notes of the Company, in the aggregate original principal amount of $20,000,000. Such notes shall be convertible into shares of common stock, no par value per share, of the Company. Further, the Company authorized the issuance of warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 25,000 shares of common stock. The notes will rank senior to all outstanding and future indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries and will be secured by a second priority perfected security interest in all of the existing and future assets of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, if any, including a pledge of all of the capital stock of each of the subsidiaries.

 

On September 1, 2022 (the "Issuance Date”), one note (the "September 2022 Note”) in the amount of $10,000,000 with 25,000 accompanying warrants (the "Warrants”) were issued to the Buyer. The issuance of the remaining $10,000,000 requires shareholder approval in accordance with NASDAQ listing requirements. The September 2022 Note was issued with a principal amount of $10,000,000 and an original issue discount of $600,000, payable in 24 periodic installments with a coupon rate of 6%, and with a maturity date of September 1, 2024. At the option of the Company, periodic installments can be paid in either cash or common stock (at an 8% discount) to the Holder. Payments in cash are subject to an additional premium and are recorded as additional interest expense. In the event of a default, the interest rate is increased to 15%, which is the default rate. At any time on or after the Issuance Date, the Holder is entitled to convert any unpaid principal plus accrued interest at a conversion price of $5.00 per share. The SPA also provides for the Holder to require payment of principal and unpaid interest up to four times per period. This provision allows the September 2022 Note to be settled in full over a six-month period at the Holder’s option. In addition, a certain percentage of cash received from issuances of shares in conjunction with the ATM discussed in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies will be used to pay down the principal of the September 2022 Note.

 

The Warrants are exercisable at any time or times on or after the six month and one day anniversary of the Issuance Date. The Warrants expire on the fifth anniversary of the Issuance Date. The exercise price of each Warrant which is convertible to a share of common stock is $200.00.

 

The net proceeds of $9,400,000 (after discount) are bifurcated between the Warrants and the September 2022 Note. The amount allocated to the Warrants is $598,670, which is the fair value on the Issuance Date. The remaining amount (before debt issuance costs) of $8,801,330 is allocated to the September 2022 Note on the Issuance Date. The Company has elected to measure the note at fair value. In estimating the fair value of this debt, a binomial lattice model was used. The required inputs include the risk-free rate, the Company’s stock volatility, stock price on valuation date, and a risk premium. The note’s fair value measurement is classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy as provided by ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement.” Under this option, changes in fair value of the convertible debt are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on convertible note fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result of this election, debt issuance costs incurred were approximately $232,669 and are expensed in Other expense/(income) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company also recorded an unrealized loss of zero and $15,820 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The note was repaid in full on January 23, 2023 with a loss on extinguishment of $2,925,610 recognized for the difference between the carrying value of the note and unamortized discount and the payment made to satisfy the note. The balance of the September 2022 Note was $5,639,231 at December 31, 2022.

To prevent dilution, the conversion price of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock is to be adjusted for any issuance of securities, excluding exempt securities, which change the number of shares of common stock outstanding. The Series A-1 Preferred Stockholders are entitled to equal voting rights to common stockholders on an as-converted basis and receive preference to the common stockholders upon liquidation.

 

Except as otherwise required by law or expressly provided in the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, each share of Class C Preferred Stock has one vote for the election of directors and on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Company. The Company is not obligated to redeem or repurchase any shares of Class C Preferred Stock. Shares of Class C Preferred Stock are not otherwise entitled to any redemption rights, or mandatory sinking fund or analogous fund provisions.

Offerings of Common Stock and Warrants

 

2023 Purchase Agreements

 

On January 18, 2023, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements (the "Purchase Agreements”) with certain investors (collectively, the "Purchasers”). The Purchase Agreements provide for the sale and issuance by the Company of an aggregate of (i) 3,300,000 shares (the "Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, no par value per Share (the "Common Stock”), (ii) pre-funded warrants (the "Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 700,000 shares of common stock and (iii) warrants (the "Common Warrants” and, together with the Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrants, the "Securities”) to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of common stock. The offering price per Share and associated Common Warrants is $3.00. The offering price per Pre-Funded Warrant and associated Common Warrant is $2.9999.

 

The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable subject to certain ownership limitations, have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. The Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised immediately upon issuance. Each Common Warrant has an exercise price of $3.00 per share, will be exercisable immediately upon issuance subject to certain ownership limitations and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the date on which the Common Warrants become exercisable.

 

Both the Pre-Funded and Common Warrants contain provisions that regarding settlement in the event of a fundamental transaction that calculate the fair value of the warrants using a prespecified volatility assumption that was not consistent with the input used to value the warrants at issuance which causes the warrants to be classified as liabilities.

 

The Pre-Funded Warrants are recorded at fair value on January 18, 2023 at $1,735,941. As the Pre-Funded Warrants were immediately exercised, the fair value is recorded in equity. The Common Warrants are recorded at fair value on January 18, 2023 at $7,951,393 and are remeasured at a fair value of $4,249,751 at June 30, 2023 and are classified as a current liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As a result, the Company recorded an unrealized (loss) gain of $(122,694) and $3,701,642 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

 

The offering resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $12 million. The net proceeds to the Company from the offering were approximately $11 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other expenses. The Company used $7,500,000 of the net proceeds from the offering to repay the September 2022 Note as disclosed in Note 9 - Convertible Notes, and the remainder of the proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

2023 Second Purchase Agreements

 

On June 12, 2023, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements (the "Second Purchase Agreements”) with certain investors (collectively, the "Purchasers”). The Second Purchase Agreements provide for the sale and issuance by the Company of an aggregate of 1,467,648 shares (the "Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share (the "Common Stock”), in a registered direct offering and warrants (the "Warrants” and, together with the Shares, the "Securities”) to purchase up to 2,935,296 shares of Common Stock in a concurrent private placement (the transactions contemplated by the Second Purchase Agreements are referred to herein as the "Second Offering”). The offering price per Share and associated Warrant is $1.70. Each Warrant has an exercise price of $1.75 per share, will be exercisable six months after issuance subject to certain ownership limitations and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the date on which the Warrants become exercisable.

The Second Offering resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $2.5 million. The net proceeds to the Company from the Second Offering were approximately $2.3 million, after deducting placement agent fees and expenses and offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company used $250,000 of the net proceeds from the offering to partially repay the Note payable - related party, and the remainder of the proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

The Company paid the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to $275,000 which was 5.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by all Purchasers in connection with the sale of the Securities, and warrants to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 5% of the Shares (the "Placement Agent Warrants”). The Company issued 73,529 Placement Agent Warrants. The Placement Agent Warrants have a five-year term, and are exercisable beginning six months after the closing of the Offering at a price of $1.87 per share. The Company recorded the aggregate placement agent fees as financing costs in the Statement of Operations.

 

The Warrants issued to the Purchasers are recorded at fair value on June 12, 2023 at $3,906,366 and are remeasured at a fair value of $3,495,168 at June 30, 2023 and are classified as a current liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As the fair value of the Warrants was greater than the cash proceeds received from the offering, the Company recorded the excess of warrant fair value over proceeds received of $1,404,374 as financing costs. The 1,467,648 common shares issued in the offering had a fair value of $2,362,914. The fair value of the common shares issued were recorded as additional financing costs in the transaction because the aggregate fair value of the liability classified warrants and the common shares issued exceeded the offering proceeds. The Placement Agent Warrants are recorded at fair value on June 12, 2023 at $95,740 and are remeasured at a fair value of $85,320 at June 30, 2023 and are also classified as a current liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As a result, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $421,618 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 for the Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants.

 

2022 Offerings

 

On January 14, 2022, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the "Sales Agreement”) with Canaccord, under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through or to Canaccord, as sales agent up to $100,000,000 of its common stock. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the sales pursuant to the Sales Agreement primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

We issued and sold 175,306 shares of common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2022, in connection with the Sales Agreement at per share prices between $64.60 and $97.80, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $12,602,091 after subtracting offering expenses. We issued and sold 203,320 shares of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2022, in connection with the Sales Agreement at per share prices between $64.60 and $143.60, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $16,315,741 after subtracting offering expenses. There were no transactions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 under the Sales Agreement due to the one-year restrictions discussed in Note 2.

On April 25, 2022, the Company entered into a $4,500,000 convertible promissory note agreement with Ducera, a related party because a partner at Ducera is also a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. Further disclosures are presented in Note 9 - Convertible Notes.

 

NOTE 14: SEGMENT REPORTING

 

Arcimoto has three reportable segments that are identified based on its product lines and services: fun utility vehicles ("FUV”), rental and TMW. The FUV segment consists of the sale of its electric vehicle product lines while the rental segment’s operations involve generating revenue from the short-term rental of its electric vehicles via various channels or networks. The TMW segment, as discussed above, engages in the design, production, sales, and installation of a bolt on kit that converts a two wheeled motorcycle into a tilting three wheeled motorcycle.

 

The reportable segments were identified based on how the Chief Operations Decision Maker ("CODM”), which in the Company’s case, is the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO”), allocates resources to the various operations. The following tables disclose the financial information used by the CODM in allocating the Company’s resources.

NOTE 15: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company evaluates subsequent events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. There are two types of subsequent events: (1) recognized, or those that provide additional evidence with respect to conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, and (2) non-recognized, or those that provide evidence with respect to conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose subsequent to that date.

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued and up to the time of filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The discussions that follow reflect this evaluation.

 

On July 14, 2023, the Company signed an extension for the Mortgage Loan, which extended the maturity date by six months to February 17, 2024. As a result of the extension, the Company will pay a $300,000 facility fee and an additional $600,000 fee.

 

On August 8, 2023, the Company signed two promissory notes totaling $660,000 at an original issue discount purchase price of $600,000. The principal of $660,000 is due on August 15, 2023. Prior to the maturity on August 15, 2023, the notes shall not bear interest. The noteholders have the right to convert any outstanding principal balance of the note, in whole or in part, into securities of the Company at a rate of 125% of the converted principal amount in connection with any new financing of the Company.

 

If any event of default occurs, the full principal amount of the note shall become, at the payee’s election, immediately due and payable in cash. Commencing 3 days after the occurrence of any event of default that results in the acceleration of the note, interest accrues at the rate of 18% per annum, or such lower maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged under applicable law.

Overview

 

Arcimoto, Inc. (the "Company”) was incorporated in the State of Oregon on November 21, 2007, with the mission to create a right-sized, sustainable transportation system. Recognizing that almost ninety percent of daily drives in the U.S. are ten miles or less, we have created and patented a three-wheeled electric vehicle platform that is one of the most efficient electric vehicles on the market.  Featuring dual-motor front wheel drive and an optimized center of gravity for nimble and balanced rides, this vehicle platform provides a 102 city mile range on one charge, and has an industry-leading miles per gallon of gasoline-equivalent of 173.7. 

 

On this platform, we currently manufacture a family of products targeting a wide range of everyday uses: the Fun Utility Vehicle® ("FUV®”) is for daily driving, ridesharing and rental operations. The Modular Utility Vehicle ("MUV”) features a variety of configurations including: a box design with a storage capacity of 25 cubic feet that serves the last-mile delivery of food and goods, a Flatbed design that can serve commercial and logistic needs, and a pickup-with-rails design perfect for agricultural and outdoor jobs.  The Company’s Rapid Responder® brings the speed and maneuverability of the platform to emergency services like fire and rescue, along with campus and event security. 

 

Weighing less than half of most internal-combustion-engine vehicles, our platform provides instant torque for an exhilarating and fun ride unlike any other.  With a top speed of 75 miles per hour our vehicle platform is freeway-ready, and its smaller footprint provides more parking options for easy maneuverability into compact spaces.  While individual drivers will enjoy the cost-savings of an ultra-efficient electric vehicle, we believe companies that own fleets of vehicles will also see the benefits of our vehicles.

 

The Company’s primary focus is on volume-production planning, and reaching sustainable profitability. On April 19, 2021, the Company purchased an approximately 220,000 square-foot facility to expand production capabilities. The Company produced its 1000th FUV in June 2023, and is executing on its growth strategy while working to secure additional financing.

 

At the Company, we believe that if we right-size, electrify, and better utilize our vehicles, we can reclaim our shared space, help clean our skies, and make cities more livable for us all.

 

Platform and Technologies

 

The Company is fundamentally a technology company. Its first decade was spent developing and refining eight generations of a new three-wheeled electric vehicle platform: a light-footprint, nimble reverse-trike architecture that features a low center of gravity for stability on the road; dual-motor front-wheel drive for enhanced traction; can be parked three to a space while carrying two large adults comfortably, and is more efficient, by an order of magnitude, than today’s gas-powered cars. The Company has secured 13 utility patents on various constituent technologies and vehicle platform architectures. The Company has teamed with several companies to evaluate the Company’s manufacturing processes and supply chain management in order to drive down costs and increase the volume of production of the Company’s ultra-efficient electric vehicles. This project progressed significantly, primarily due to the purchase of a new production facility and additional capital manufacturing equipment, continued production ramp planning, and product architecture sourcing-selection across all major vehicle subsystems.

 

25

 

 

Products

 

The Company’s vehicle products are based on the Arcimoto Platform, which includes the basic lower framed structure and certain key components of our vehicles. While intended to serve very different market segments, an estimated 90% of the constituent parts are the same between all products currently in production and development.

 

FUV®

 

The Company’s flagship product is the FUV. The FUV delivers a thrilling ride experience, exceptional maneuverability, comfort for two passengers with cargo, highly-efficient parking (three FUVs to a single parking space), and ultra-efficient operation, all at an affordable price. Over time, we anticipate offering the FUV with several option packages to meet the needs of a variety of customers.

 

We led with a consumer product because we are a consumer-first brand. We believe individuals should be able to choose more efficient, more affordable, and lighter-footprint mobility solutions, so that more of us can participate in the transition to a sustainable transportation future.

 

Deliverator®

 

Development of the Deliverator was officially announced on March 19, 2019 with the reveal of the first Deliverator prototype. The Deliverator is currently in production.

 

The Deliverator is a pure electric, last-mile delivery solution designed to more quickly, efficiently, and affordably get goods where they need to go. The Deliverator can carry a wide array of products, from pizza, groceries, and cold goods to the 65 billion parcels delivered worldwide annually.

 

Arcimoto Flatbed

 

The Arcimoto Flatbed prototype was introduced at the FUV & Friends Summer Showcase on July 26, 2021. Similar to the Deliverator, it eschews the rear seat, this time for a pickup-style flatbed instead of an enclosed cargo area. Retail sales of the flatbed are in limited production.

 

TRiO

 

In February 2021, the Company acquired Tilting Motor Works and is currently selling their TRiO motorcycle upgrade kit, which transforms a traditional two-wheeled motorcycle into a leaning three-wheeled motorcycle. In February 2022, the Company introduced a second vehicle platform prototype and the first product concept on that platform, a class 3 e-trike codenamed the Mean Lean Machine™ ("MLM”). Research and development on the MLM has been put on hold as part of our operating cost-cutting efforts. Sales of the TRiO kits continue.

 

Driverless Arcimoto

 

Our long-term goal is to offer the market one of the lowest cost, most efficient "last mile” human and goods shared transport solutions for the future road. We intend that our platform will provide a ready foundation for remote control and self-driving technology deployment and have begun to demonstrate that capability.

 

Equipped with Faction’s DriveLink™ and TeleAssist™ technologies, the completely driverless Faction D1 combines autonomy with remote human teleoperation. The driverless vehicle system retains the FUV platform’s capabilities of a 75 mph top speed and just over 100 miles of range while transporting up to 500 pounds of cargo.

 

Pilot projects are in current deployment with additional scale/sites being added.

Sales and Distribution Model

 

Arcimoto’s sales and distribution model is direct. Customers place vehicle orders on our website, and the vehicle product will be delivered directly to the end user via a common carrier or our own delivery fleet. The website ordering and vehicle configuration system is functional, with additional development planned to further automate the sales process.

 

We are also developing relationships with commercial fleet management companies to accelerate commercial sales.

 

On October 26, 2020, we announced a partnership with DHL to provide nationwide home delivery of the FUV. They are currently handling the bulk of our customer deliveries.

 

The Company is currently exploring additive sales channels, such as dealerships, for distribution in states where the direct sales model is currently prohibited or where strong powersports distributors exist. These channels, along with our direct-to-consumer model, could scale both service and sales in states where we currently do business.

 

Rental Model

 

The Company is augmenting the direct web purchase process with experience rental in key markets. This rental model gives prospective customers a direct experience with the physical product before purchasing, recovering some of the cost of the test drive with revenue generated by the rental. We opened our first Company-owned rental operations in San Diego, California and Eugene, Oregon in the second quarter of 2021. The first Company-owned rental center in Hawaii opened on August 20, 2022. During the fourth quarter of 2022 we opened a second Company-owned location in Kauai, Hawaii. Additional rental vehicles are available at revenue sharing partner operators across locations in Washington, Florida, California, and Oregon. We have a revenue sharing agreement with GoCars in San Diego and Las Vegas, with additional locations opening in the near future.

 

Our current partner list includes Island Bike Shop, Adventure Center, Scoot Scoot Rentals and the New Experience Center at Royal Sonesta Kaua’i Resort Line.

 

Service

 

Arcimoto Service is provided by the Company or through third-party service providers. The Company has implemented a robust service training program to certify all internal and 3rd party technicians. A service request to support@arcimoto.com will trigger dispatch and notification to mobile technicians. In 2022, the Company launched partnerships with B&H Electric in Pennsylvania and Midas in Oahu to provide service in those regions. Currently, in all other open states, service is provided through Arcimoto directly.

 

Vehicle Financing

 

We have secured multiple partners nationwide to apply for consumer financing on our website. We have expanded financing options for customers to pursue personal financing to purchase our FUVs.

 

Management Opportunities, Challenges and Risks

 

Production, Sales Funnel and Order Backlog

 

The Company temporarily paused vehicle production on January 3, 2023 as the Company sought additional capital. After raising additional capital, the Company resumed production on February 12, 2023.

 

The Company is focused on generating sales and rental revenue in the states where we have current rental operations and/or delivery options available for customers: California, Florida, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Hawaii and Arizona. The Company is now accepting orders from customers in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, and Washington D.C. While we expand geographical boundaries of our business operations, we also plan to expand and improve on the customers’ retail experiences by including additional rental partnerships and pop-up demo drive experiences through new Customer Experience Centers. We opened our Honolulu Experience Center on August 20, 2022. The Company intends to increase our conversion rate for both our rental operations and demo drives through increased engagement at each step of our customer journey and grow our drive volume by expanding our geographical footprint through various channels. These various channels include, but are not limited to, our rental operations, pop-up demo centers in high traffic flagship markets, strategic events and shows throughout the country and identifying new markets and expanding our brand awareness.

 

27

 

 

At June 30, 2023, the order backlog for our vehicles is 8, defined as a vehicle order with a customer deposit, likely configured and expecting delivery. The conversion rate from order backlog to actual sales is approximately 93%. During the first half of 2023, the volume of demo drives made by potential customers was 954.

 

Currently, we are dependent on a single supplier for our battery cells. During the third quarter of 2022, our engineering team commenced a program to expand our options of battery cell types for module development. Upon development, regulatory testing will be conducted for compliance with government safety standards. We do not expect any challenges in regard to the certification process. We also expect that future battery cell technologies may have to be certified if these purchased cells have different specifications than what already has been certified.

 

We continue our efforts to drive down component and parts costs of Arcimoto ultra-efficient electric vehicles. To date, substantial progress has been made in identifying the cost targets for specific vehicle configuration based on current and anticipated supply chain conditions, cost reduction for manufacturing, lean manufacturing analysis, vehicle architecture sourcing-selection for all major subsystems and the technology roadmap for future vehicles and marketing roadmap.

 

We have conducted multiple pilot programs with various partners to add credence to the business case for a lightweight rapid response electric vehicle. Rapid responders have been well received under these pilot programs. We will continue to build Rapid Responders in low volume through the remainder of 2023, delivered to customers via specialized upfitters, to support commercial new pilot programs.

 

We have several ongoing Deliverator pilot programs with individuals, municipalities, and corporate fleets. We will continue to build Deliverators in low volume through the remainder of 2023, to support commercial new pilot programs.

 

Trends in Cash Flow, Capital Expenditures and Operating Expenses

 

Our capital expenditures are typically difficult to project beyond the short term given the number and breadth of our core projects at any given time and may further be impacted by uncertainties in future market conditions. We released the Arcimoto Flatbed during the second quarter of 2023, while ramping manufacturing facilities at our 10-acre campus and piloting the development and manufacture of new battery module technologies, and the pace of our capital spend may vary depending on overall priority among projects, the pace at which we meet milestones, production adjustments to and among our various products, increased capital efficiencies and the addition of new projects. We currently expect our capital expenditures to be between $500,000 to $1,000,000 in 2023. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we initiated a series of strategic plans to conserve cash and focus on immediate revenue generating products in light of the global economic environment.

 

Our business has been consistently generating negative cash flow from operations. Some of this is offset with better working capital management resulting in shorter days sales outstanding than days payable outstanding. We are also likely to see heightened levels of capital expenditures during certain periods depending on the specific pace of our capital-intensive projects and rising material prices and increasing supply chain and labor expenses resulting from changes in global trade conditions. Moreover, while our stock price was significantly elevated during parts of 2021, we saw higher levels of exercise of investor warrants and options from employee equity plans, which obligates us to deliver shares pursuant to the terms of those agreements. In the long run, we expect our ability to be self-funding to be achieved as we approach a sales volume of approximately 7,500 vehicles per year and as long as macroeconomic factors support growth in our sales, and engineering cost reductions and volume pricing improve materials cost. On November 11, 2022, our shareholders approved an agreement to obtain additional funding (with certain restrictions) in order to finance our operations and growth with a $50,000,000 equity line of credit. Due to the January 18, 2023 common stock and warrant offering, the Company is restricted from utilizing the equity line of credit or the Canaccord Genuity LLC at-the-market ("ATM”) facility for a period of one year. The shareholders also approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s stock of 1-for-20 that was completed on November 11, 2022. These series of actions allow us to access funds from the capital markets which will be used to fund our operations in the foreseeable future. We also completed offerings of our Common Stock and warrants which resulted in proceeds of approximately $13,287,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses.

 

28

 

 

Operating expenses decreased by approximately 48% or $5,048,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 43% or $8,692,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to, among other things, a reduction in workforce, as the number of employees decreased by approximately 60%, from 289 as of June 30, 2022, to 116 employees as of June 30, 2023. The decrease in staff was due to a company-wide restructuring program in the fourth quarter of 2022 that was aimed at reducing overall overhead costs. We continue to monitor staffing levels in order to meet operational needs.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

In the future, the Company may not have the capital resources necessary to further the development of existing and/or new products. In October 2022, we initiated a series of strategic restructuring plans in order to focus on our revenue-generating lines of business. These actions resulted in cancellations or postponements of material supplier contracts as well as a significant reduction in workforce in order to conserve cash that is prioritized for immediate revenue-generating activities.

 

Although we have taken strategic steps to improve our cost structure, our current cost structure, along with other factors including market penetration in the states we are currently doing business, does not allow us to achieve profitability. Although we are constantly trying to improve our cost structure and market penetration, we may not succeed to the point where we can achieve profitability consistently. Also, Arcimoto may not be able to reduce costs to the level necessary to unlock the market potential for our products.

 

We may, from time to time, be subject to recalls due to, among other things, software glitches and/or faulty parts which may require us to provide warranty repairs to our customers. These additional warranties may have a negative impact on our financial resources, which may in turn, negatively impact our financial results.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

For a description of new accounting pronouncements, please refer to the "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 14, 2023.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience, as appropriate, and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected. See Note 2 to our Condensed Financial Statements under Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method ("FIFO”)) or net realizable value. We expense all labor and overhead costs as we are currently selling vehicles below the base cost of a finished unit. As such, our inventory costs consist mainly of material costs. Due to external economic conditions, including supply chain issues and inflation, among other things, such costs may fluctuate significantly over time and affect our results of operations.

 

29

 

 

Convertible Notes, Mortgage Loan and Warrants

 

We have elected the fair value option under ASC 825-10-25 to account for the $4,500,000 and $10,000,000 convertible notes, as well as the mortgage loan and warrants. We have utilized a binomial lattice methodology in estimating the fair values of the convertible notes. The mortgage loan fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow model. The warrant fair values were estimated using a Black Scholes model. The fair value measurements are classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy as provided by ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement”. The fair valuation of these convertible notes, mortgage loan and warrants use inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly. Under this option, changes in fair value of the convertible notes and warrants are recorded as unrealized gain/loss on changes in’ fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Revenues

 

Total revenue increased approximately $261,000 or 17% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to having sold 23 more vehicles (both new and used) and an increase in outside services revenue which relates to the fabrication of service parts for a customer using the Company’s manufacturing equipment.

 

The Company had approximately $1,760,000 in revenue, comprising approximately $1,537,000 in revenue, net of discounts, from the sales of our vehicles and related products and accessories, approximately $157,000 in TMW net revenue and approximately $66,000 in net revenue from rental operations during the three months ended June 30, 2023. We had approximately $1,499,000 in revenue, comprising approximately $1,015,000 in net revenue from the sales of our vehicles, approximately $430,000 in TMW net revenue and approximately $54,000 in net revenue from rental operations during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

 

Cost of Goods Sold ("COGS”)

 

Cost of goods sold decreased by approximately $2,580,000 or 42%, primarily driven by the reduction in workforce and decreases in certain manufacturing-related materials, as we scaled purchasing to match demand.

 

The Company had approximately $3,524,000 in COGS, comprising approximately $1,836,000 in manufacturing labor and overhead, $1,275,000 for FUV material and freight costs from the sale of our vehicles, $183,000 related to our rental operations, $118,000 related to TMW, $203,000 in warranty costs, and $(91,000) from a favorable adjustment in the reserve and adjustments to inventory for purchase price variance and scrap during the three months ended June 30, 2023. Included in the manufacturing, labor and overhead costs are payroll and employee-related costs of approximately $773,000 while the remaining costs consist of consulting services, freight, and depreciation, among other things.

Operating Expenses

 

Research and Development ("R&D”) Expenses

 

R&D expenses decreased by $2,179,000 or 59% during the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period last year primarily due to the reduction in workforce, a corresponding reduction in stock-based compensation relating from fewer employees, and a 58% reduction in consulting services.

S&M expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $1,486,000 and $3,070,000, respectively. The primary reasons for the decrease in S&M expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2023 of approximately $1,584,000, or 52%, as compared to the prior period were the reduction in workforce, a corresponding reduction in stock-based compensation resulting from fewer employees, and a 27% reduction in advertising expenses.

The decrease was primarily due to, among other things, the reduction in workforce, the corresponding reduction in stock-based compensation resulting from fewer employees and a 47% reduction in legal fees associated with a case that was dismissed in 2022.

 

Financing Costs

 

We recorded financing costs of approximately $4,138,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 comprised of $3,767,000 related to the excess of the issuance date fair value of the warrants and Common Stock issued in June 2023 over the cash proceeds received, and $371,000 of offering costs for liability classified warrants.

 

Unrealized Gain on Convertible Note, Mortgage Loan and Warrants

 

We recorded an unrealized loss of approximately $1,517,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as a result of the mark-to-market to fair value for our convertible notes, mortgage loan and warrant liabilities in accordance with the election of the fair value option under ASC 825-10. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded an unrealized loss of approximately $2,145,540 as a result of the mark-to-market to fair value for our convertible notes in accordance with the election of the fair value option under ASC 825-10.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $211,000, as compared to $124,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in interest expense was due to a $74,000 payment made to an equipment vendor for interest on an outstanding payable balance, and $75,000 for interest on the notes payable - related party.

 

Other (income) expense, net

 

Other (income) expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $48,000, as compared to $(46,000) during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in expense was due to a purchase order cancellation charge paid to a vendor.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

Our cash flows from operating activities are significantly affected by our cash outflows to support the growth of our business in areas such as R&D, S&M and G&A expenses. Our operating cash flows are also affected by our working capital needs to support personnel related expenditures, accounts payable, inventory purchases and other current assets and liabilities.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 cash used in operating activities was approximately $10,153,000, which included a net loss of approximately $20,099,000, non-cash charges of $9,472,000 and changes in net working capital and other items that contributed to cash and cash equivalent reduction of approximately $474,000. Our net loss was primarily due to, among other things, sales volume not currently commensurate to operating expenses.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 cash used in operating activities was approximately $26,105,000, which included a net loss of approximately $30,358,000, non-cash charges of $7,753,000 and changes in net working capital and other items that contributed to cash and cash equivalent reduction of approximately $3,500,000. Our net loss was primarily due to, among other things, (1) a decrease in revenue compared to the same period last year as we temporarily ceased production to move into our new production facilities, (2) spending on R&D expenditures to develop and improve new technology in connection with our product lines and new designs of our production processes in anticipation of future increases in production volume, and (3) spending on S&M expenses as we increased our sales force in order to ramp up our marketing efforts and activities to increase our brand awareness and conduct road shows. Our inventory increased in anticipation of future sales and production growth while our accounts payable increased, primarily due to timing.
