EXPLANATORY NOTE


This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021.
2022.


We were originally incorporated in Delaware on June 18, 2018 under the name “AMCI Acquisition Corp.” as a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more target businesses. On November 20, 2018, we consummated our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), following which our shares began trading on the Nasdaq GlobalCapital Market (“Nasdaq”).


On February 4, 2021, we consummated the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 12, 2020, by and among AMCI Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”“AMCI”), AMCI Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), AMCI Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), solely in the capacity as the representative from and after the effective time of the Business Combination (as defined below) (the “Effective Time”) for the stockholders of the CompanyAMCI (other than the Legacy Advent stockholders) (the “Purchaser Representative”), Advent Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Advent”), and VasilliosVassilios Gregoriou, solely in his capacity as the representative from and after the Effective Time for the Advent stockholders (the “Seller Representative”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Amendments” and as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of October 19, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively, by and among the Company,AMCI, Merger Sub, Sponsor, Legacy Advent, and Seller Representative. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), we acquired 100% of the stock of Legacy Advent (as it existed immediately prior to the Closing) and its subsidiaries, changed our name from “AMCI Acquisition Corp.” to “Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc.” and changed the trading symbols of our common stock and warrants on Nasdaq from “AMCI” and “AMCIW” to “ADN” and “ADNWW,” respectively.


For accounting purposes, the Business Combination is treated as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization, in which Advent is considered the accounting acquirer (and legal acquiree) and the Company is considered the accounting acquiree (and legal acquirer). Additionally, unless otherwise stated or the context indicates otherwise, with respect to the financial information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including in “Part I, Item 1. Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” and the notes thereto and in “Part I, Item 2.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.Basis of presentation

Overview

 

(a)Overview
On February 4, 2021 (“Closing Date”), AMCI Acquisition Corp. (“AMCI”), consummated the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to that certain merger agreement (the “Agreement and Plan of Merger”), dated October 12, 2020, by and among AMCI, AMCI Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of AMCI (“Merger Sub”), AMCI Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), solely in the capacity as the representative from and after the effective time of the Business Combination for the stockholders of AMCI (the “Purchaser Representative”), Advent Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Advent”), and VasilliosVassilios Gregoriou, solely in his capacity as the representative from and after the effective time for the Legacy Advent stockholders (the “Seller Representative”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 19, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively, by and among AMCI, Merger Sub, Sponsor, Legacy Advent, and Seller Representative. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), AMCI acquired 100%100% of the stock of Legacy Advent (as it existed immediately prior to the Closing) and its subsidiaries.

On the Closing Date, and in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, AMCI changed its name to Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Advent”). Legacy Advent was deemed the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805. This determination was primarily based on Legacy Advent’s stockholders prior to the Business Combination having a majority of the voting interests in the combined company, Legacy Advent’s operations comprising the ongoing operations of the combined company, Legacy Advent’s board of directors comprising a majority of the board of directors of the combined company, and Legacy Advent’s senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Advent issuing stock for the net assets of AMCI, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of AMCI are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

While AMCI was the legal acquirer in the Business Combination, because Legacy Advent was deemed the accounting acquirer, the historical financial statements of Legacy Advent became the historical financial statements of the combined company, upon the consummation of the Business Combination. As a result, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Legacy Advent prior to the Business Combination; (ii) the results of the Company (combined results of AMCI and Legacy Advent) following the closing of the Business Combination; (iii) the assets and liabilities of Legacy Advent at their historical cost; and (iv) Company’s equity structure for all periods presented.

In accordance with guidance applicable to these circumstances, the equity structure has been restated in all comparative periods up to the Closing Date, to reflect the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001$0.0001 par value per share, (“Common Stock”) issued to Legacy Advent’s stockholders in connection with the recapitalization transaction. As such, the shares and corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share related to Legacy Advent Preferred Stock (“Preferred Series A” and “Preferred Series Seed”) and Legacy Advent common stock prior to the Business Combination have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination Agreement. Activity within the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity / (deficit) for the issuances of Legacy Advent’s Preferred Stock, were also retroactively converted to Legacy Advent common stock.stock (Note 3)

Going Concern

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management, in accordance with GAAP, assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Accordingly,accordingly, these financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result in the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

The management of the Company assesses the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern at each period end. The assessment evaluates whether there are conditions that give rise to substantial doubt to continue as a going concern within one year from the consolidated financial statements issuance date, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The management examines closely its operating results and its cash position and makes adjustments to its cash flow forecasts where necessary.

Beginning in March 2020, the COVID-19coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and the measures imposed to contain this pandemic have disruptedaffected business and are expectedeconomic activity around the world. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company has been closely monitoring and adopting all necessary measures to continueprotect its employees and partners and to impactminimize as much as possible the Company’s business.

As a result, management believes that the Company’s existing financial resources are sufficient to continue operating activities for at least one year past the issuance date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.


 

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:Policies

There have been no significant changes from the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in the SuperAnnual Report Form 8-K.


10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022. The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”). As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the JOBS Act allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to private companies. The Company elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time the Company is no longer considered to be an EGC. The Company applied the followingdid not apply any new accounting policies:

policies during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 other than those noted within Recent Accounting Pronouncements (included in Note 2).

 

Use of Estimates

(a)

Business acquisitions, Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company allocatespreparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair valuereported amounts of purchase consideration transferred in a business acquisition to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration transferred over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. In case the fair valueand disclosure of purchase consideration transferred is below fair values of these identifiablecontingent assets and liabilities as of the Company recognizes a gain from a bargain purchase. Such valuations requiredates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an on-going basis, management to make significantevaluates the estimates and assumptions, especially with respectjudgments, including those related to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangiblethe selection of useful lives for tangible assets, include, but are not limited to,expected future expected cash flows from acquired licenses, trade names, in process researchlong-lived assets to support impairment tests, the carrying value of goodwill, provisions necessary for accounts receivables and development (“R&D”), useful livesinventory write downs, provisions for legal disputes, and discount rates, patents, customer clientele, customer contractscontingencies. Management bases its estimates and know-how. Management’s estimates of fair valuejudgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable butunder the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actualnot readily apparent from other sources. Actual results maycould differ from estimates. Duringthose estimates under different assumptions and/or conditions.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the accounting guidance in ASC 820 for its fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement period,date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.

The accounting guidance requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the Company may record adjustmentsfollowing three categories:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, for similar assets or liabilities that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the assets acquiredfair value measurement.

Available for Sale Financial Asset

On May 25, 2022, Advent Technologies S.A (“Advent SA”) and liabilities assumed,UNI.FUND Mutual Fund (“UNIFUND”) entered into an agreement to finance Cyrus SA (“Cyrus”) with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusiona convertible bond loan (“Bond Loan”) of €1.0 million. As a part of this transaction, Advent SA offered €0.3 million in bond loans with an annual interest rate of 8.00%. The term of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recordedloan is three years and there is a surcharge of 2.5% for overdue interest.

Mandatory conversion of the Bond Loan will occur in the event of qualified financing which is equivalent to a share capital increase by Cyrus in the first three years from the execution of the Bond Loan agreement with a total amount over €3 million which is covered by third parties unrelated to the basic shareholders or by investors related to them.

The Company classifies the Bond Loan as an available for sale financial asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes interest income within the condensed consolidated statement of operations.


For significant acquisitions, the Company obtains independent appraisals and valuations of the intangible (and certain tangible) assets acquired and certain assumed obligations.

The Company analyzes each acquisition individually and all acquisitions withininitially measured the available for sale Bond Loan at the transaction price plus any applicable transaction costs. The Bond Loan is remeasured to its fair value at each reporting period in aggregate to determine if those are material acquisitions in the context of ASC 805-10-50.


The estimated fair values and useful lives of identified intangible assets are based on many factors, including estimates and assumptions of future operating performance and cash flows of the acquired business, estimates of cost avoidance, the nature of the business acquired, the specific characteristics of the identified intangible assets and our historical experience and that of the acquired business.upon settlement. The estimates and assumptions used to determine the fair values and useful lives of identified intangible assets could change due to numerous factors, including product demand, market conditions, regulations affecting the business model of our operations, technological developments, economic conditions and competition.

We conduct a goodwill impairment analysis annually in the fourth fiscal quarter, as of October 1, and as necessary if changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the fair value of our reporting units may be less than their carrying amounts. When indicators of impairment do not exist and certain accounting criteria are met, we are able to evaluate goodwill impairment using a qualitative approach. When necessary, our quantitative goodwill impairment test consists of two steps. The first step requires that we compare the estimated fair value of our reporting units to the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets, including goodwill. If theBond Loan is determined using Level 3 inputs by using a discounted cash flow model. The change in fair value ofis recognized within the reporting unit is greater than the carrying value of its net assets, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value of its net assets, we would be required to complete the second step of the test by analyzing the fair value of its goodwill. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded. Currently, we identify 1 reporting unit.

(b)
Warrants

The Company may issue or assume common stock warrants with debt, equity or as standalone financing instruments that are recorded as either liabilities or equity in accordance with the respective accounting guidance. Warrants recorded as equity are recorded at their relative fair value or fair value determined at the issuance date and remeasurement is not required. Warrants recorded as liabilities are recorded at their fair value, within warrant liability on the consolidated balance sheets, and remeasured on each reporting date with changes recorded in revaluation of warrant liability on the Company’scondensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Warrant Liability

(c)Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As a result of the Business Combination, the Company assumed a warrant liability (the “Warrant Liability”) related to previously issued 3,940,278 warrants, each exercisable to purchase one 1 share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50$11.50 per share, originally sold to AMCI Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) in a private placement consummated in connection with AMCI’s Initial Public Offeringinitial public offering (the “Private Placement Warrants”) and the 400,000 warrants, each exercisable to purchase one 1 share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50$11.50 per share, converted from the Sponsor’s non-interest bearing loan to the Company of $400,000$400,000 in connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Working Capital Warrants”) (Note 11)13). The Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants have substantially the same terms as the 22,029,279 warrants, each exercisable to purchase one 1 share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50$11.50 per share, issued by AMCI in its Initial Public Offeringinitial public offering (the “Public Warrants”).

The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants (each as defined below) is determined using Level 3 inputs by using the Black-Scholes model. The application of the Black-Scholes model requires the use of a number of inputs and significant assumptions including volatility. Significant judgment is required in determining the expected volatility of our common stock. Due to the limited history of trading of our common stock, we determined expected volatility based on a peer group of publicly traded companies.

The Company performs routine procedures such as comparing prices obtained from independent source to ensure that appropriate fair values are recorded.


(d)
Earnings / (Loss) Per Share

Earnings / (Loss) Per Share is computed by dividing earnings / (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings / (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. The treasury stock method is used to compute the dilutive effect of warrants.

(e)Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation consists of stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Stock options and restricted stock units are equity classified and are measured at the fair market value of the underlying stock at the grant date. Under ASC 718, an entity may recognize compensation cost for an award with only a service condition that has a graded vesting schedule on either (1) an accelerated basis as though each separately vesting portion of the award was, in substance, a separate award or (2) a straight-line basis over the total requisite service period for the entire award. An entity’s use of either a straight-line or an accelerated attribution method represents an accounting policy election and thus should be applied consistently to all similar awards. The Company has elected to recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the total requisite service period for the stock options and restricted stock units. This election does not affect the Company’s previous year results since the Restricted Stock Awards granted in the prior period did not have a service requirement and therefore the stock compensation expense was recognized immediately.  The Company has also a policy of accounting for forfeitures when they occur.

Recent Accounting pronouncements

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

during the year:

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. In July 2018, ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, was issued to provide more detailed guidance and additional clarification for implementing ASU 2016-02. Furthermore, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method in addition to the existing modified retrospective transition method by allowing a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Additionally, ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU 2020-02, Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), provided additional clarifications for implementing ASU 2016.02. The new lease standard was originally effective for private entities on January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. Following the issuance of ASU 2020-05, Effective Dates for Certain Entities (Topic 842), the effective date of Leases was deferred for private entities (the “all other” category) to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early application continues to be permitted which means that an entity may choose to implement Leases before those deferred effective dates.

The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2022 for its annual consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and for interim periods within annual periods from January 1, 2023 in accordance with the adoption dates for private entities applicable to it under its emerging growth company status. When the Company presents the adoption of the new lease standard it will use the modified retrospective method. At the time the Company presents its interim consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of 2023, it will adjust the comparative period to reflect the adoption of this standard. Furthermore, the Company elected practical expedients, which allow entities (i) to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are considered or contain leases; (ii) to not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases (iii) to not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases and (iv) which allows to treat the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component due to its predominant characteristic. The Company expects this standard will have a material effect on its consolidated balance sheets with the recognition of new right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all operating leases longer than one year in duration. The Company estimates both assets and liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet will increase by approximately $15.8 million. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a significant impact upon its consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. Changes in lease population or changes in incremental borrowing rates may alter this estimate. The Company will expand its disclosures in its annual consolidated financial statements.

14

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10 “Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance.” This ASU will improve the transparency of government assistance received by most business entities by requiring the disclosure of: (1) the types of government assistance received; (2) the accounting for such assistance; and, (3) the effect of the assistance on a business entity’s financial statements. ASU 2021-10 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early application permitted. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2022 and is currently evaluating the effectimpact of this standard on the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 for public entities, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2022,in accordance with the adoption of this guidancedates for private entities applicable to it under its emerging growth company status and does not believe that the standard will have a significant impact on the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements.


statements and related disclosures.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments, which, amends the requirement on the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. Furthermore, amendments, ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11 provided additional clarification for implementing ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.


In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 for public entities, with early adoption permitted.

Business Combination


(a)
AMCI Acquisition Corp.

As detailed in Note 1 on February 4, 2021, the Company and AMCI consummated the Business Combination pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, with Legacy Advent Legacy surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMCI. Immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, all shares of outstanding preferred stock Series A and preferred stock Series Seed of Legacy Advent were automatically converted into shares of the Legacy Advent'sAdvent’s common stock. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, each share of Legacy Advent common stock issued and outstanding was canceled and converted into the right to receive the amount of shares as determined based on the merger consideration of $250$250 million minus the estimated consolidated indebtedness of Legacy Advent and its subsidiaries as of the consummation of the Business Combination, net of their estimated consolidated cash and cash equivalents (“Closing Net Indebtedness”) divided by $10.00.$10.00. The Closing Net Indebtedness was based solely on estimates determined shortly prior to the closing and was not subject to any post-closing true-up or adjustment.

Upon the closing of the Business Combination, AMCI'sAMCI’s certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to, among other things, authorize the issuance of 111,000,000 shares, of which 110,000,000 shares are shares of common stock, par value $0.0001$0.0001 per share and 1,000,000 shares are shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $0.0001$0.0001 per share.

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, AMCI entered into separate subscription agreements (each, a "Subscription Agreement"“Subscription Agreement”) with a number of investors (each a "Subscriber"“Subscriber”), pursuant to which the Subscribers agreed to purchase, and AMCI agreed to sell to the Subscribers, an aggregate of 6,500,000 shares of common stock (the "PIPE Shares"“PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00$10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $65.0$65.0 million, in a private placement pursuant to the subscription agreements (the "PIPE"“PIPE”). The PIPE investment closed simultaneously with the consummation of the Business Combination.

The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, AMCI was treated as the "acquired"“acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. See Note 1 "Basis“Basis of Presentation"Presentation” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further details. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Advent issuing stock for the net assets of AMCI, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of AMCI are stated at historical cost, with 0 goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

UltraCell, LLC

On February 18, 2021 (the “acquisition date”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the UltraCell Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding membership units of UltraCell from Bren-Tronics, Inc. The results of UltraCell’s operations have been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

The Company has assessed provisions in ASC 805 and concluded that the UltraCell acquisition should be accounted as an acquisition of a business. The Company evaluated whether substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets and concluded that it is not. Since the “substantially all” threshold is not met, the Company further assessed whether the set acquired includes an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. Following its assessment, the Company concluded that the minimum requirements to define UltraCell as a business are met.


UltraCell is an entity specialized in lightweight fuel cells for the portable power market with mature products and cutting-edge technology.


The acquisition consideration transferred totaled $6.0$6.0 million, of which $4.0$4.0 million was cash and $2$2.0 million was the fair value of the contingent consideration. The contingent consideration arrangement required the Company to pay $2$2.0 million of additional cash to UltraCell’s former holders of membership interests, if UltraCell entered into certain customer arrangements for sales of products prior to June 30, 2021. On April 16, 2021, Advent paid the additional consideration based on UltraCell achieving completion of the terms of the contingent consideration.

The fair value measurement of the intangible assets has been performed by applying a combination of market, cost and income approach methods. The Trade Name was valued with the Relief-from-royalty method, which combines market & income approaches. The royalty rate used for the valuation of the Trade Name was 1.3%1.3%, which was determined from the market using databases from completed transactions at a global level while the discount rate used was 12.6%12.6%. The Patented Technology was valued with the multi period excess earnings method, which is an income approach. The discount rate used for the valuation of the Patented Technology was 11.6%11.6%. The Trade Name has an indefinite useful life while the Patented Technology has a useful life of 10 years.

Included in goodwill is the value of assembled workforce, which under FASB ASC topic 805, does not meet either the contractual-legal or the separability criterion in order to be separately valued as an intangible asset. As part of the acquisition, the Company acquired fully trained personnel thereby avoiding the expenditure that would have been required to hire and train equivalent personnel. Therefore, the assemblage cost avoided method was considered the most appropriate method for the valuation of the assembled workforce. The assembled workforce was valued at $0.19$0.19 million and has been included in goodwill.

Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Acquisition of SerEnergy and FES

 


On June 25,Effective on August 31, 2021, pursuant to the Company entered into apreviously announced Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), withdated as of June 25, 2021, by and between the Company and F.E.R. Fischerfischer Edelstahlrohre GmbH, a limited liability company incorporated under the Laws of Germany (the “Seller”), which provides for the Company to acquireacquired (the “Acquisition”) all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in SerEnergy A/S, a Danish stock corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller (“SerEnergy”) and fischer eco solutions GmbH, a German limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller (“FES” and together with SerEnergy, the “Target Companies”) together with certain outstanding shareholder loan receivables.

The shareholder loans became intercompany at closing and were eliminated in consolidation.

The Company has assessed provisions in ASC 805 and concluded that the SerEnergy and FES acquisition should be accounted as an acquisition of a business. The Company evaluated whether substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets and concluded that it is not. Since the “substantially all” threshold is not met, the Company further assessed whether the set acquired includes an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. Following its assessment, the Company concluded that the minimum requirements to define SerEnergy and FES as a business are met.

The results of the SerEnergy’s and FES’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company will acquireacquired SerEnergy and FES, the fuel cell systems business of fischer Group. SerEnergy is a leading manufacturer of methanol-powered high-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane (“HT-PEM”)HT-PEM fuel cells and operates facilities in Aalborg, Denmark and in Manila, Philippines. FES operates in Achern, Germany and provides fuel-cell stack assembly and testing as well as the production of critical fuel cell components, of the SerEnergy HT-PEM fuel cells, including membrane electrode assemblies, bipolar plates and reformers. FES operates a facility on fischer Group’s campus in Achern, Germany, and Advent has agreed to lease that respective portion of

As consideration for the facility attransactions contemplated by the closing of the Acquisition.


At the closing of the Acquisition,Purchase Agreement, the Company will paypaid to the Seller €52$17.9 million subject to customary cash/debt/working capital adjustments, all based on completion accounts. At completion, a portion of the preliminary consideration will be paid as €15 million(€15 million) in cash (the “Cash Consideration”). The remaining portion ofand on August 31, 2021, the preliminary consideration will be paid byCompany issued to the Seller 5,124,846 shares of common stockCommon Stock of the Company to be issued by the Company to the Seller (the “Share Consideration”), such shares to be valued at the €0 amount of the volume-weighted arithmetic average of the closing prices of the Company’s stock during the last 20 trading days occurring 2 trading days prior to the Transactions’ closing (the “Agreed Share Value”). The Share Consideration iswas capped to shares representing 9.999%9.999% of the Company’s common stockCommon Stock outstanding as of the completion (taking into account the common stock issued as Share Consideration, the “Cap”). InAn additional amount of $4.4 million, representing cash on the eventbalance sheet of the Share Consideration exceeds the Cap, both the Company and the Seller have a right to terminate the Purchase Agreement upon written notice to the other party. Any balance between the preliminary consideration and the final considerationacquired businesses at closing, will be settled either in common shares atpaid to F.E.R. fischer Edelstahlrohre GmbH to complete the Agreed Share Value or in cash, at the electionacquisition of the respective debtor.

The obligation to consummate the Transactions is subject to satisfaction of the following conditions : (a) The Company has obtained, or is deemed to have obtained, foreign investment control clearance by the German Federal Ministry for Economic AffairsSerEnergy and Energy and, if required, by the Danish Business Authority and/or Ministry for Industry, Business and Financial Affairs, (b) registration of a short fiscal year with the commercial register of FES and (c) is included in “Other current liabilities” (Note 12).

The fair value of the purchase hasassets acquired, and liabilities assumed was based on a Purchase Price Allocation of SerEnergy and FES conducted by an independent third party.

The acquired businesses specialize in the manufacturing of hydrogen fuel cell systems and align with Advent’s ability to provide clean power in the stationary, remote, portable and off-grid markets under the “Any Fuel. Anywhere.” value proposition. The Company’s ability to deliver hydrogen through liquid fuels allows it to have immediate market opportunity today, without having to wait for the global hydrogen infrastructure to develop. The acquisitions also accelerate the Company’s strategy to cover the full vertical supply chain with its products and puts the Company in a competitive position to deliver reliable, efficient and cost-effective fuel cell systems with a new product portfolio of the latest high temperature-PEM fuel cells covering a range of 25W to 90kW systems. The acquisitions also make Advent a leading manufacturer of high temperature fuel cells across Europe and Asia. Expanding the business in Europe and Asia is a strategic move and allows the Company to have well-placed production capabilities and market penetration.

Included in goodwill is the value of assembled workforce, which under FASB ASC topic 805, does not been reached.


The Purchase Agreement provides for customary termination rights.

As part of the Purchase Agreement prior to closing in particular if (a) not all Closing Conditionsacquisition, the Company acquired fully trained personnel thereby avoiding the expenditure that would have been satisfied within four months after signing ofrequired to hire and train equivalent personnel. The assembled workforce included in goodwill was valued at $2.4 million applying the Purchase Agreement, (b) the Share Consideration exceeds the Cap, (c) the respective other party has failed to perform the closing actionscost approach.

Intangible assets

The intangible assets recognized on the closing dateacquisition of SerEnergy and isFES are as follows:

Patents

Two 2 groups of patents are assumed to be the most significant drivers of future cash flows. The patents relate to improvements in default performing a closing actiongaskets, bipolar plates and cooling plates for more than ten days after closing or (d) if therefuel cells. The fair value of patents was determined by applying the multi-period excess earnings method which is an insufficientincome approach. The discount rate used for the valuation of patents was 7.2%. Patents are amortized over 10 years since management assumes, that these groups of patents will continue to drive cash flows for 10 years, after which new patents will be of more relevance.

Process know-how (IPR&D)

SerEnergy and FES are currently developing cost reduction initiatives (unpatented know-how) related to membrane electrode assembly, bipolar plates, gaskets, burner/reformer and electronics. This IPR&D is evaluated as a significant asset for the business as it will allow significant cost reduction leading to higher profits in the future. These cost reductions are expected to be introduced in 2022 and 2023. The multi-period excess earnings method was applied to calculate the fair value of this asset. The discount rate used for the valuation of IPR&D was 10.1%. IPR&D is amortized over its useful life of 6 years, being the average timespan of a generation of fuel cell modules.

Order backlogs

Order backlogs recognized are in respect of two 2 main customers of SerEnergy. The assessment of this asset was based on the total amount of authorized and unissued Company stock fororder backlog attributable to these customers. The fair value was determined applying the companyincome approach. Resulting cash flows after tax were discounted to paypresent value by a minimal discount rate as the Share Consideration to the Seller.

18backlog’s timespan is less than a year.

Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants are classified as liabilities in accordance with the Company’s evaluation of the provisions of ASC 815- 40-15, which provides that a warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s common stock if the terms of the warrant require an adjustment to the exercise price upon a specified event and that event is not an input to the fair value of the warrant with a fixed exercise price and fixed number of underlying shares.

initial public offering.


As of MarchDecember 31, 2021,2020, the Company had 22,052,077 Public Warrants outstanding. Each Public Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase 1one share of Common Stockcommon stock at a price of $11.50$11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of athe Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidationliquidation. During the second quarter of 2021, certain warrant holders exercised their option to purchase an additional 22,798 shares at $11.50.$11.50 per share. These exercises generated $262,177$262,177 additional proceeds to the Company and increased our shares outstanding by 22,798 shares.

22,029,279.


Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:


in whole and not in part;

at a price of $0.01$0.01 per warrant;

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption;

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00$18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such warrants.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of common stock at a price below its exercise price. In addition, the warrant agreement provides that in case of a tender offer or exchange that involves 50% or more of the Company’s stockholders, the Public Warrants may be settled in cash, equity securities or other assets depending on the kind and amount received per share by the holders of the common stock in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make such election.

Public Warrants are classified in equity in accordance with the Company’s evaluation of the provisions of ASC 480 and ASC 815. The Company analyzed the terms of the Public Warrants and concluded that there are no terms that provide that the warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s common stock. The Company also analyzed the tender offer provision discussed above and considering that upon the Closing of the Business Combination the Company has a single class of common shares, concluded that the exception discussed in ASC 815-40-25 applies, and thus equity classification is not precluded.

Basic net income / (loss)loss per share is computed by dividing net income/ (loss)loss for the periods presented by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during these periods.

Diluted net income /(loss)loss per share is computed by dividing the net income /(loss),loss, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods, adjusted for the dilutive effect of shares of common stock equivalents resulting from the assumed exercise of the Public Warrants, Private Placements Warrants, Working Capital Warrants, Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units. The treasury stock method was used to calculate the potential dilutive effect of these common stock equivalents.

 

As the Company incurred losses for the three month and six month periodsmonths ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, the effect of including any potential common shares in the denominator of diluted per-share computations would have been anti-dilutive; therefore, basic and diluted losses per share are the samesame..

Overview

Advent is an advanced materials and technology development company operating in the fuel cell and hydrogen technology space. Advent develops, manufactures and assembles the critical components that determine the performance of hydrogen fuel cells and other energy systems. Advent’s core product offering isofferings are full fuel cell systems and the Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) at the center of the fuel cell. The Advent MEA, which derives its key benefits from the properties of Advent’s engineered membrane technology, enables a more robust, longer-lasting and ultimately lower-cost fuel cell product.


To date, Advent’s principal operations have been to develop and manufacture MEAs, and to design fuel cell stacks and complete fuel cell systems for a range of customers in the stationary power, portable power, automotive, aviation, energy storage and sensor markets. Advent has its headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts, a product development facility in Livermore, California, and an MEA assemblyproduction facilities in Greece, Denmark, Germany and production facility in Patras, Greece.Philippines. In early 2022, Advent anticipates opening its new research and development and manufacturing facility at Hood Park in Charlestown, Massachusetts.

The majority of Advent’s current revenue derives from the sale of fuel cell systems and MEAs, as well as the sale of membranes and electrodes for specific applications in the iron flow battery and cellphone markets, respectively. While fuel cell systems and MEA sales and associated revenues are expected to provide the majority of Advent’s future income, both of these markets remain commercially viable and have the potential to generate material future revenues based on Advent’s existing customers. Advent has also secured grant funding for a range of projects from research agencies and other organizations in the U.S. and Greece.organizations. Advent expects to continue to be eligible for grant funding based on its product development activities over the foreseeable future.

Historically, Advent has financed its operations through internal cash flows, grant income and private placements of equity and convertible notes. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Advent generated revenue from product sales of approximately $1.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively, and had net losses of approximately $(3.1) million and $(0.2) million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, Advent received proceeds as a result of the Business Combination that was consummated on February 4, 2021 of approximately $141 million.  During the six months ended June 30, 2021, Advent recorded approximately $(16.2) million in operating cash flow, resulting in a period end cash balance of approximately $116.1 million as of June 30, 2021.

Business Combination and Public Company Costs


On October 12, 2020, Advent Technologies, Inc. (“Legacy Advent”) entered into the Merger Agreement with Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as “AMCI”AMCI Acquisition Corp. (“AMCI”), a Delaware corporation, AMCI Merger Sub Corp., a newly-formed Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of AMCI (“Merger Sub”), AMCI Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), in its capacity as Purchaser Representative (the “Purchaser Representative”) and Vassilios Gregoriou, in the capacity as Seller Representative ( the(the “Seller Representative”), pursuant to which, effective February 4, 2021 (the “Closing”), Merger Sub merged with and into Advent Technologies Inc.Legacy Advent., with Legacy Advent Technologies Inc. surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMCI.AMCI and AMCI changed its name to “Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc.”. Advent Technologies, Inc. is deemed the accounting predecessor and the combined entity is the successor registrant with the SEC, meaning that Advent Technologies, Inc.’s financial statements for previous periods are and will be disclosed in the registrant’scompany’s current and future periodic reports filed with the SEC.

34


While the legal acquirer in the Merger Agreement is AMCI, for financial accounting and reporting purposes under GAAP, we have determined that Advent Technologies is the accounting acquirer and the Business Combination will be accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization.” A reverse recapitalization does not result in a new basis of accounting, and the financial statements of the combined entity represent the continuation of the financial statements of Advent Technologies in many respects. Under this method of accounting, AMCI is treated as the acquired entity whereby Legacy Advent is deemed to have issued common stock for the net assets and equity of AMCI, consisting mainly of cash, accompanied by a simultaneous equity recapitalization of AMCI (the “Recapitalization”).


Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the most significant change in Legacy Advent’s reported financial position and results was an increase in cash of approximately $141 million. Total direct and incremental transaction costs of AMCI and Legacy Advent, along with liabilities of AMCI paid off at the Closing, were approximately $23.6 million.

As a consequence of the Business Combination, Legacy Advent became the successor to an SEC-registered and Nasdaq-listed company which has required and will require Advent to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. Advent expects to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources, including increased audit and legal fees.


Additionally, Advent anticipates that its revenue, capital and operating expenditures will increase significantly in connection with its ongoing activities following the Business Combination, as Advent expects to:


Expand U.S.-based operations to increase capacity for MEA testing, development projects and associated research and development activities;
Expand Greece-based production facilities to increase and automate MEA assembly and production;
Develop improved MEA and other products for both existing and new markets, such as ultra-light MEAs designed for aviation applications, to remain at the forefront of the fast-developing hydrogen economy;
Increase business development and marketing activities;
Increase headcount in management and head office functions in order to appropriately manage Advent’s increased operations;
Improve its operational, financial and management information systems;
Obtain, maintain, expand, and protect its intellectual property portfolio; and
Operate as a public company.

(“EY”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2021. EY served as independent registered public accounting firm of Advent prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm prior to the Business Combination, was informed that it would be replaced by EY as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm following completion of its audit of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, which consists only of the accounts of the pre-Business Combination special purpose acquisition company.

Based on conversations with existing customers and incoming inquiries from new customers, Advent anticipates substantial increased demand for its fuel cell systems and MEAs from a wide range of customers as it scales up its production facilities and testing capabilities, and as the awareness of its MEA capabilities becomes widely known in the industry. Advent expects both its existing customers to increase order volume, and to generate substantial new orders from major organizations, with some of whom it is already in discussions regarding prospective commercial partnerships and joint development agreements. As of June 30, 2021,2022, Advent was still generating a low level of revenues compared to its future projections and has not made any commercial sales to these major organizations.


Successful development of the Advanced MEA product


Advent’s future success depends in large part on the increasing integration of the hydrogen fuel cell into the energy transition globally over the next decade. In order to become cost-competitive with existing renewable power generation and energy storage technology and achieve widespread adoption, fuel cells will need to achieve substantial improvement in the cost/kw performance ratio delivered to prospective fuel cell customers, predominantly OEMs, System Integrators and major energy companies. Advent expects to play an important enabling role in the adoption of hydrogen fuel cells, as its MEA technology is the critical determining factor in the cost/kw performance ratio of the fuel cells. In partnership with the Los Alamos National Laboratory, Advent is currently developing its next generation MEA technology (“Advanced MEA”) which is anticipated to deliver as much as three times the power output of its current MEA product. While Advent is already projecting being able to pass through substantial cost benefits to its customers through economies of scale as it increases MEA production, the successful development of the Advanced MEA will be an important factor in delivering the required improvement in cost/kw performance to Advent’s customers.

Components of Results of Operations


Revenue net

Revenues consist of sales of goods (MEAs, membranes, fuel cell stacks, fuel cell systems and electrodes). Advent expects revenues to increase materially and be weighted towards fuel cell systems and MEA sales over time, in line with the projected increase in MEA production in response to customer demand.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists of consumables, raw materials, processing costs and direct labor costs associated with the assembly and manufacture of MEAs, membranes, fuel cell stacks and systems and electrodes. Advent expects cost of revenues to increase substantially in line with MEAincreased production.

Advent recognizes cost of revenues in the period that revenues are recognized.

Income from Grants


Income from grants consists of cash subsidies received from research agencies and other national and international organizations in support of Advent’s research and development activities. Advent expects to continue to be eligible for grant income and remains in discussion with a number of prospective grantors in relation to a number of product development activities.

39

Research and Development Expenses


Research and development expenses consist of costs associated with Advent’s research and development activities, such as laboratory costs and sample material costs. Advent expects its research and development activities to increase substantially as it invests in improved technology and products.


Administrative and Selling Expenses

Administrative and selling expenses consist of travel expenses, indirect labor costs, fees paid to consultants, third parties and service providers, taxes and duties, legal and audit fees, depreciation, business development salaries and limited marketing activities, and incentive and stock-based compensation expense. Advent expects administrative and selling expenses to increase in line with MEA production and revenue as the business scales up, and as a result of operating as a public company, including compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, legal, audit, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services. Depreciation is also expected to increase as the Company invests in fixed assets in support of the scale-up of the business.

Change in fair value of Warrant Liability


The change in fair value of warrant liability amounting to $8.2 million and $13.4 million was due to the change in fair value of the Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants fromfor the six months ended June 30, 2022 and for the period February 4, 2021 to June 30, 2021.

Cash flows fromused in Operating Activities


Advent’s cash flows from operating activities reflect the income statement position adjusted for working capital movements in current assets and liabilities. As Advent grows, it expects that operating cash flows will be affected by increased working capital needs to support growth in personnel-related expenditures and fluctuations in accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and other current assets and liabilities.


Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $(29.4) million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, which related to outflows in connection with administrative and selling expenses, research and development expenses, and costs associated with insurances services and other personnel costs.

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $(16.2) million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, which related to outflows in connection with one-time transactions costs, settlement of unpaid executive compensation and costs associated with insurances services and other consulting services.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Advent recognized contract assets of $0.4$1.0 million in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2020, Advent recognized contract assets of $0.1and $1.6 million, inrespectively, on the consolidated balance sheet.


sheets. The balance as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 includes an amount of $0 and $0.6 million, respectively, from the SerEnergy and FES acquisition. 

Advent recognizes contract liabilities when we receive customer payments or have the unconditional right to receive consideration in advance of the performance obligations being satisfied on our contracts. We receive payments from customers based on the terms established in our contracts. Contract liabilities are classified as either current or long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets based on the timing of when we expect to recognize the related revenue. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Advent recognized contract liabilities of $0.1$0.9 million in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2020, Advent recognized contract liabilities of $0.2and $1.1 million, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements


Since the date of our incorporation, Advent has not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


Advent’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires Advent to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to Advent’s financial statements.


Emerging Growth Company Status

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. Advent elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, Advent, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard, until such time Advent is no longer considered to be an emerging growth company. At times, Advent may elect to early adopt a new or revised standard. See Note 2 in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information about the recent accounting pronouncements adopted and the recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted for the three and six months ending June 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021.

45


In addition, Advent intends to rely on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an emerging growth company, Advent intends to rely on such exemptions, Advent is not required to, among other things: (a) provide an auditor’s attestation report on Advent’s system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (b) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (c) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis); and (d) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.


Advent will remain an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act until the earliest of (a) the last day of Advent’s first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the closingdate of the Business Combination,first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (b) the last date of Advent’s fiscal year in which Advent has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.1 billion, (c) the date on which Advent is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC with at least $700.0 million of outstanding securities held by non-affiliates or (d) the date on which Advent has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the previous three years.


While Advent’s significant accounting policies are described in the notes to Advent’s financial statements (see Note 2 in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements), Advent believes that the following accounting policies require a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the policies Advent believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating Advent’s financial condition and results of operations.


Revenue Recognition from January 1, 2019

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as amended, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. We adopted ASU No. 2014-09 on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach to all contracts not completed at the date of initial application. The prior period comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting guidance in effect for that period.


In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. We apply the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its arrangements:


identify the contract with a customer,
identify the performance obligations in the contract,
determine the transaction price,
allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract, and
recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

identify the contract with a customer,

identify the performance obligations in the contract,

determine the transaction price,

allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract, and

recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

With significant and recurring customers, we negotiate written master agreements as framework agreements (general terms and conditions of trading), following individual purchase orders. For customers with no master agreements, the approved purchase orders form the contract. Effectively, contracts under the revenue standard have been assessed to be the purchase orders agreed with customers.


We have assessed that each product sold is a single performance obligation because the promised goods are distinct on their own and within the context of the contract. In cases where the agreement includes customization services for the contracted products, we are providing integrated services; therefore, the goods are not separately identifiable, but are inputs to produce and deliver a combined output and form a single performance obligation within the context of the contract. Furthermore, we assessed whether it acts as a principal or agent in each of its revenue arrangements and has concluded that in all sales transactions it acts as a principal. Additionally, we, taking into consideration the guidance and indicative factors provided by ASC 606, concluded that it provides assurance type warranties (warranty period is up to 45 days)two years) as it does not provide a service to the customer beyond fixing defects that existed at the time of sale. We, based on historical performance, current circumstances, and projections of trends, estimated that no allowance for returns as per warranty policy should be recognized, at the time of sale, accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees.

46


Under ASC 606, we estimate the transaction price, including variable consideration, at the commencement of the contract and recognize revenue over the contract term, rather than when fees become fixed or determinable. In other words, where contracts with customers include variable consideration (i.e. volume rebates), we estimate at contract inception the variable consideration and adjust the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Furthermore, no material rights or significant financing components have been identified in our contracts. Payment terms generally include advance payment requirements. The time between a customer’s payment and completion of the receipt of fundsperformance obligation is less than one year. Payment terms are in the majority fixed and do not include variable consideration, except from volume rebates.

Revenue from satisfaction of performance obligations is recognized based on identified transaction price. The transaction price reflects the amount to which we have rights under the present contract. It is allocated to the distinct performance obligations based on standalone selling prices of the services promised in the contract. In cases of more than one performance obligation, we allocate transaction price to the distinct performance obligations in proportion to their observable stand-alone selling prices and recognize revenue as those performance obligations are satisfied.


In the majority of cases of product sales, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the respective goods that is, when the products are shipped from our facilities as control passes to the customer in accordance with agreed contracts and the stated shipping terms. In cases where the contract includes customization services, which one performance obligation is identified, revenue is recognized over time as our performance does not create an asset with alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. We use the input method (i.e. cost-to cost, cost-to-cost method) to measure progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.


Income from grants and related deferred income


Grants include cash subsidies received from various institutions and organizations. Grants are recognized as other income. Such amounts are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations when all conditions attached to the grants are fulfilled.


Condition to the grants would not be fulfilled unless related costs have been characterized as eligible by the grantors, are actually incurred and there is certainty that costs are allowable. These grants are recognized as deferred income when received and recorded in income when the eligible and allowable related costs and expenses are incurred. Under all grant programs, a coordinator is specified. The coordinator, among other, receives the funding from the grantor and proceeds to its distribution to the parties agreed in the process specified in the program. We assessed whether it acts as a principal or agent in its role as a coordinator for specific grants and has concluded that in all related transactions it acts as an agent.


Goodwill

The Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration transferred in a business acquisition to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration transferred over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired licenses, trade names, in process research and development (“R&D”), useful lives and discount rates, patents, customer clientele, customer contracts and know-how. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.


For significant acquisitions, the Company obtains independent appraisals and valuations of the intangible (and certain tangible) assets acquired and certain assumed obligations as well as equity. The Company analyzes each acquisition individually and all acquisitions within each reporting period in aggregate to determine if those are material acquisitions in the context of ASC 805-10-50.

The estimated fair values and useful lives of identified intangible assets are based on many factors, including estimates and assumptions of future operating performance and cash flows of the acquired business, estimates of cost avoidance, the nature of the business acquired, the specific characteristics of the identified intangible assets and our historical experience and that of the acquired business. The estimates and assumptions used to determine the fair values and useful lives of identified intangible assets could change due to numerous factors, including product demand, market conditions, regulations affecting the business model of our operations, technological developments, economic conditions and competition.

We conduct a goodwill impairment analysis annually in the fourth fiscal quarter, as of October 1, and as necessaryor more frequently, if changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the fair value of our reporting units may be less than their carrying amounts. When indicatorsIn testing goodwill for impairment, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of impairment doevents or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not exist and certain accounting criteria are met, we are able to evaluate goodwill impairment using a qualitative approach. When necessary, our quantitative goodwill impairment test consists of two steps. The first step requires that we compare the estimated fair value of our reporting units to the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than the carrying value of its net assets, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value of thea reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the carrying valuetotality of its net assets, we would be required to completeevents or circumstances, the second step of the test by analyzingCompany determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then additional impairment testing is not required. When the Company determines a fair value test is necessary, it estimates the fair value of a reporting unit and compares the result with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying valueamount of the goodwilla reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded.recorded equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value, up to the amount of goodwill associated with the reporting unit. Currently, we identify onethree reporting unit.

Income Taxes


The Company

Advent follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. DeferredUnder the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. This method also requires the recognition of future tax benefits, such as net operating loss carry forwards, to the extent that it is more likely than not that such benefits will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.


Advent assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based on the evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at each reporting date. For those tax positions with a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information, Advent records a tax benefit. For those income tax positions that are not likely to be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Advent recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of the provision for income taxes.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. WeFor those income tax positions that are not likely to be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Advent recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of the provision for income taxes.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, net income tax benefits (provisions) of $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, have been recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company did not record net income tax benefits (provisions) within the consolidated statements of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Advent is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant accruals or material deviation from ourits position. We areThe Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities.


The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries may be subject to potential examination by U.S. federal, state and city, andwhile the SubsidiaryCompany’s subsidiaries outside U.S. may be subject to potential examination by the Greektheir taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with the U.S. federal, state and city, and Greek tax laws.laws in the countries where business activities of Company’s subsidiaries are conducted. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Reform”) was signed into legislation. As part of the legislation, the U.S. corporate income tax rate was reduced from 35% to 21%, among other changes.

Bond Loan

On May 25, 2022, Advent SA and UNI.FUND entered into an agreement to finance Cyrus with a Bond Loan of €1.0 million. As a part of this transaction, Advent SA offered €0.3 million in bond loans with an annual interest rate of 8.00%. The term of the loan is three years and there is a surcharge of 2.5% for overdue interest.

Mandatory conversion of the Bond Loan will occur in the event of qualified financing which is equivalent to a share capital increase by Cyrus in the first three years from the execution of the Bond Loan agreement with a total amount over €3 million which is covered by third parties unrelated to the basic shareholders or by investors related to them.

The Company classifies the Bond Loan as an available for sale financial asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes interest income within the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The Bond Loan is remeasured to its fair value at each reporting period and upon settlement. The estimated fair value of the Bond Loan is determined using Level 3 inputs by using a discounted cash flow model. The change in fair value is recognized within the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The Company did not recognize any unrealized gain / (loss) from the agreement date of May 25, 2022 through June 30, 2022.

Warrant Liability


The Company accounts for the 26,369,557 warrants (comprising of 22,029,279 Public Warrants and 3,940,278 Private Placement Warrants) issued in connection with the Initial Public Offeringinitial public offering and the 400,000 Working Capital Warrants issued at the consummation of the Business Combination in accordance with ASC 815-40-15-7D. If the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment, they must be recorded as liabilities. We have determined that only the Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants must be recorded as liabilities and accordingly, the Company classifies these warrant instruments as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. These liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants has been determined using either the quoted price, if available, or was based on a modified Black-Scholes-Merton model. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants has been determined based on a modified Black-Scholes-Merton model for the quarterthree and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by Advent as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, Advent believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on Advent’s financial position or results of operations under adoption.


See Note 2 in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this QuarterlyAnnual Report on Form 10-Q10-K for more information about recent accounting pronouncements, the timing of their adoption and Advent’s assessment, to the extent Advent has made one, of their potential impact on Advent’s financial condition and results of operations.


Supplemental Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations

In addition to providing measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, we present certain supplemental non-GAAP measures. These measures are EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income / (Loss), which we use to evaluate our operating performance, for business planning purposes and to measure our performance relative to that of our peers. These non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may differ from similar measures presented by other companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures. We believe these measures are useful in evaluating the operating performance of the Company’s ongoing business. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for net income, operating expense and income, cash flows and other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP. The calculation of these non-GAAP measures has been made on a consistent basis for all periods presented.

49


EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA


These supplemental non-GAAP measures are provided to assist readers in determining our operating performance. We believe this measure is useful in assessing performance and highlighting trends on an overall basis. We also believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts and investors when comparing our results with those of other companies. EBITDA differs from the most comparable GAAP measure, net income / (loss), primarily because it does not include interest, income taxes, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, and amortization of intangible assets. Adjusted EBITDA adjusts EBITDA for transactional gains and losses, asset impairment charges, finance and other income and acquisition costs.

Adjusted Net Income/(Loss)


Loss

This supplemental non-GAAP measure is provided to assist readers in determining our financial performance. We believe this measure is useful in assessing our actual performance by adjusting our results from continuing operations for changes in warrant liability and one-time transaction costs. Adjusted Net Loss differs from the most comparable GAAP measure, net income / (loss),loss, primarily because it does not include one-time transaction costs and warrant liability changes. The following table shows a reconciliation of net income/(loss)loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Advent is exposed to a variety of market and other risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates and inflation, as well as risks to the availability of funding sources, hazard events and specific asset risks.


Interest Rate Risk


Advent holds cash and cash equivalents for working capital, investment and general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2021,2022, Advent had a cash balance of approximately $116.1$46.5 million, consisting of operating and savings accounts which are not affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. Advent is not expected to be materially exposed to interest rate risk in the future as it intends to take on limited debt finance.

Inflation Risk


Advent does not believe that inflation currently has a material effect on its business.


To mitigate cost increases caused by inflation, Advent has taken steps such as searching for alternative supplies at a lower cost and pre-buying materials and supplies at a more advantageous price in advance of its intended use.

Foreign Exchange Risk


Advent has costs and revenues denominated in both euros, Danish krone and dollars,Philippine pesos, and therefore is exposed to fluctuations in the euro/dollar exchange rate.rates. To date, Advent has not entered into any hedging transactions to mitigate the effect of foreign exchange due to the relatively low sums involved. As we increase in scale, we expect to continue to incurrealize a portion of our revenues and costs in euros,foreign currencies, and therefore expect to put in place appropriate foreign exchange risk mitigation features in due course.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, (our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021.2022. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.


Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021, and as a result of the material weakness described below, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, our management has concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods disclosed in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Remediation Efforts to Address the Previously Disclosed Material Weakness

As previously disclosed in Part I, Item 9A of our 2020 Annual Report, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 due to a material weakness. The material weakness related to not having adequate controls over accounting for complex accounting instruments and, in particular, related to errors in the accounting for warrants issued in connection with AMCI’s Initial Public Offering and recorded in its pre-Business Combination, historical consolidated financial statements through December 31, 2020. In response to this material weakness, we have and will continue to implement a number of actions, as described below. Our management is committed to ensuring that our internal controls over financial reporting are designed and operating effectively. As previously disclosed, our remediation plan includes, but is not limited to, that we will improve the process and controls in the determination of the appropriate accounting and classification of our financial instruments and key agreements. When fully implemented and operational, we believe the controls we have designed or plan to design will remediate the control deficiency that has led to the material weakness we have identified and strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, (as such term isas defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) ofunder the Exchange Act)Act, that occurred during theour most recently completed fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

51


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. From time to time, we make changes to our internal control over financial reporting that are intended to enhance our effectiveness, and which do not have a material effect on our overall internal control over financial reporting. As a new public company, we continue the process of reviewing and documenting our disclosure controls and procedures, including our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are from time to time subject to various claims, lawsuits and other legal and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims, lawsuits and other proceedings may involve highly complex issues that are subject to substantial uncertainties, and could result in damages, fines, penalties, non-monetary sanctions or relief. However, we do not consider any such claims, lawsuits or proceedings that are currently pending, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to our business or likely to result in a material adverse effect on our future operating results, financial condition or cash flows.
