Workhorse Group Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1.SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESPRINCIPLES

 

The following accounting principles and practices are set forth to facilitate the understanding of data presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements:

 

Nature of operations and principles of consolidation

 

Workhorse Group Inc. and its predecessor companies (“Workhorse”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a technology company focused on providing sustainable and cost-effective solutions to the commercial transportation sector. As an American manufacturer, we design and build high performance battery-electric vehicles and aircraft that make movement of people and goods more efficient and less harmful to the environment. As part of the Company’sour solution, itwe also developsdevelop cloud-based, real-time telematics performance monitoring systems that enable fleet operators to optimize energy and route efficiency. Although the Company operateswe operate as a single unit through itsour subsidiaries, it approaches itswe approach our development through two divisions, Automotive and Aviation. The Company’sWe are currently focused on our core products, under development and/competency of bringing the N-GEN electric cargo van to market and fulfilling our existing backlog of orders. We are also exploring other opportunities in monetizing our intellectual property which could include a sale, license or in manufacture,other arrangement of assets that are the medium duty step van, the light duty pickup, the delivery drone and the manned multicopter (“SureFly” ™).outside of our core focus.

 

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries include Workhorse Technologies Inc., Workhorse Motor Works Inc. and, Workhorse Properties Inc. and Surefly, Inc

On May 3, 2019, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to increase its authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 250,000,000.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has limited revenues and a history of negative working capital and stockholders’ deficits. Our existing capital resources are expected to be sufficient to fund our operations through the end of 2019. Unless and until we are able to generate a sufficient amount of revenue, reduce our costs and/or enter a strategic relationship, we expect to finance future cash needs through public and/or private offerings of equity securities and /or debt financings. If we are not able to obtain additional financing and/or substantially increase revenue from sales, we will be unable to continue as a going concern. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

In view of these matters, continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the continued operations of the Company, which, in turn, is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements, raise additional capital, meet its future bank covenant requirements, and successfully carry out its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary, should the Company not continue as a going concern.

 

The Company has continued to raise capital. Management believes the proceeds from these offerings, future offerings, and the Company’s anticipated revenue, provides an opportunity to continue as a going concern.  If additional funding is required, the Company plans to obtain working capital from either debt or equity financing from the sale of common stock, preferred stock, and/or convertible debentures or from the sale of a product line/business.debentures. Obtaining such working capital is not assured. The Company is currently in a production ramp up mode and placing greater emphasis on manufacturing capability.

The Marathon Credit Facility includes financial covenants that require our compliance beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019. We expect to be able to satisfy the covenant requirements either through results of operations or the available Equity Cure in the Credit Agreement.

 

In the opinion of Management, the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments that are necessary for the fair presentation of Workhorse’s respective financial conditions, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.  Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.  Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented may not necessarily be indicative of full-year results. It is suggested that theseThese condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Workhorse contained in its Annual Report onForm 10-Kfor10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as amended.2018.


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operation or stockholders’ equity.equity (deficit).

On December 26, 2017, as part of its initial efforts to spin-off Surefly, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with several existing institutional investors pursuant to which the company issued original issue discount Senior Secured Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $5,750,000 in consideration of gross proceeds of $5,000,000 paid by the Spin-Off Investors. The loan is convertible into Surefly equity upon achieving the spin-off. On June 28, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment agreement with the Spin-Off Investors. The amendment agreement provided that the Senior Secured Notes were amended to provide a maturity date of July 6, 2018.

Amortization expense recorded as interest related to the debt issuance costs and unamortized discounts for the Senior Secured Notes was $987,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

On June 7, 2018, the Company received a short-term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $550,000 from Stephen S. Burns, H. Benjamin Samuels, Gerald Budde and Ray Chess, each an executive officer and/or director of the Company (collectively, the “Related Parties”). To evidence the loans, the Company issued the Related Parties promissory notes (the “Related Parties Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $550,000. The Related Parties Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and are not convertible into equity securities of the Company. Principal and interest under the Related Parties Notes are due and payable December 6, 2018, however, in the event that the Company raises in excess of $10,000,000 in equity financing, then the Company will use part of its proceeds to pay off the Related Parties Notes. Under no circumstance may the Related Parties Notes be paid off on or prior to the 91st day following the maturity date of the Senior Secured Notes issued by the Company on December 27, 2017 in the principal aggregate amount of $5,750,000. Interest accrues on the Related Parties Notes at the rate of 12.0% per annum. The Related Parties Notes contain terms and events of default customary for similar transactions. The Company used the net proceeds from the transaction for general business and working capital purposes.

4.REVENUE

  

Change in Accounting Principle

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)". The guidance in this ASU affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, insurance contracts or lease contracts). This guidance requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

Beginning in January 2018, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-09 Topic 606 under the modified retrospective method, which requires a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on the date of adoption. This approach was applied to contracts not completed as of December 31, 2017. No significant change to revenue recognition, as previously recognized, was identified. At date of adoption, there was no adjustment to retained earnings related to the adoption of ASU 2014-09. At date of adoption, there was no significant change to our past revenue recognition practices and therefore no adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings was required.

Revenue Recognition

 

Net sales include products and shipping and handling charges, net of estimates for customer allowances. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring products. All revenue is recognized when we satisfy our performance obligations under the contract. We recognize revenue by transferring the promised products to the customer, with the majority of revenue recognized at the point in time the customer obtains control of the products. We recognize revenue for shipping and handling charges at the time the products are delivered to or picked up by the customer. The majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation and are short term in nature.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Credit is extended based upon an evaluation of the customer'scustomer’s financial condition. Accounts receivable are stated at their estimated net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an analysis of customer accounts and our historical experience with accounts receivable write-offs. 

 

The Company has elected the following practical expedientsexpedient allowed under ASU 2014-09:2014-09. Performance obligations are satisfied within one year from a given reporting date, consequently we omit disclosure of the transaction price apportioned to remaining performance obligations on open orders

 

·Performance obligations are satisfied within one year from a given reporting date, consequently we omit disclosure of the transaction price apportioned to remaining performance obligations on open orders

4.LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt consists of the following:

  June 30,
2019
  December 31,
2018
 
Marathon Tranche One Loan, due December 31, 2021, interest only quarterly payments, variable interest rate of 10.25% as of June 30, 2019 $10,000,000  $10,000,000 
Marathon Tranche Two Loan, due December 31, 2021, interest only quarterly payments, variable interest rate of 10.25% as of June 30, 2019  5,854,140   -

Less current portion  5,854,140   - 
Long-term debt $8,572,182  $8,312,079 

On December 31, 2018, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), with Marathon Asset Management, LP, on behalf of certain entities it manages, as lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement provided the Company with a $10 million tranche of term loans (the “Tranche One Loan”) which may not be re-borrowed following repayment and (ii) a $25 million tranche of revolving loans which may be re-borrowed following repayment (the “Tranche Two Loans” together with the Tranche One Loan, the “Loans”).

The Trance Two Loan has been classified as current debt, because the agreement includes a lock box and cash sweep feature, which requires current presentation of the debt.

Second Amendment to Credit Agreement

On April 1, 2019, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Marathon Second Amendment”) with the Lenders. The Marathon Second Amendment delayed the application of certain financial covenants including:

 6(i)the minimum liquidity, providing that at least $4 million must be maintained at all times on or after April 30, 2019 rather than beginning on March 31, 2019;

 (ii)the maximum total leverage ratio (ratio of total debt borrowed by the Company and its subsidiaries to EBITDA), providing that the maximum total leverage ratio shall not exceed 4.50:1.00 on the last day of the quarter ending December 31, 2019, rather than beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2019, which total leverage ratio is adjusted for subsequent quarters as set forth in the Credit Agreement; and

(iii)the maximum debt service coverage ratio (ratio of EBITDA (for the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Credit Agreement) to interest expense and payments for operating leases), providing that the maximum debt service coverage ratio shall not exceed 1.25:1.00 on the last day of the quarter ending December 31, 2019, rather than beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2019, which debt service coverage ratio is adjusted for subsequent quarters as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

8

 

Third Amendment to Credit Agreement

On April 30, 2019, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Marathon Third Amendment”). The Marathon Third Amendment amended the minimum liquidity covenant, providing that at least $4 million must be maintained at all times at or after May 31, 2019 rather than at all times on or after April 30, 2019. Unless the Company fails to maintain minimum liquidity as of the last day of any calendar month, the Company may cure a failure to maintain minimum liquidity by increasing liquidity to $4.0 million within five business days of the occurrence.

Purchase Warrants

In conjunction with entering into the Credit Agreement, the Company issued each Lender a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase, in the aggregate, 8,053,390 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share exercisable in cash only for a period of three years and then for cash or cashless thereafter (collectively, the “Initial Warrants”). Until the later of the repayment of all obligations owed to the Lenders or two years from the closing date, the Company will be required to issue additional Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Additional Warrants”) to the Lenders equal to 10%, in the aggregate, of any additional equity issuances, subject to certain exceptions, on substantially the same terms and conditions of the Initial Warrants, except that (i) the applicable expiration date thereof shall be five years from the issuance date of the applicable warrant, (ii) the initial exercise price shall be a price equal to the price per share of common stock used in the relevant issuance multiplied by 110%, and (iii) the holder shall be entitled to exercise the warrant on a cashless exercise at any time the warrant is exercisable.

On April 16, 2019, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 to Common Stock Purchase Warrants with Marathon Asset Management LP, on behalf of certain entities it manages, as warrant holders (collectively, the “Holders”) (collectively, the “Marathon Warrant Amendment”), amending certain terms of the existing warrants issued by the Company in favor of each Holder. Pursuant to the Marathon Warrant Amendment, unless the Company has obtained the approval of its shareholders the number of shares to be issued under warrants held by the Holders shall not exceed 19.99% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company as of December 31, 2018. The Marathon Warrant Amendment also provide that the failure to obtain shareholder approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company, sufficient to enable the Company to issue common stock upon exercise of the warrants held by each Holder, will constitute an event of default under the existing Credit Agreement.

The warrants are required to be marked to market at each balance sheet date with a corresponding charge to interest expense. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the warrant liability was $33,529,599 and $1,822,819, respectively.

     

5.5DUKE FINANCING OBLIGATION

On November 28, 2018, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement with Duke Energy One, Inc (“Duke”) pursuant to which the Company sold Duke 615,000 battery cells (the “615,000 Cells”) in consideration of $1,340,700. The Company will continue to use the cells in the near term for the delivery of trucks to UPS and DHL. Until October 15, 2019, the Company has the right and option to require Duke to sell the 615,000 Cells back to the Company and Duke has the right and option to require the Company to purchase the 615,000 Cells at price equal to the price the 615,000 Cells were sold.

On November 28, 2018, in consideration for consenting to the Company selling the 615,000 Cells to Duke, which served as collateral for Arosa for their Loan Agreement, the Company entered into a Limited Consent, Waiver and Release pursuant to which the Company issued Arosa 2,000,000 shares of common stock and restruck the exercise price of warrants previously issued to $1.25 per share. 

The Duke transactions was accounted for as a financing obligation and as such, the Company has recorded a $1,340,700 liability related to the transaction.


6.

MANDATORY REDEMABLE SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK

Commencing May 31, 2019 through June 5, 2019 (“Closing Date”), the Company entered into Subscription Agreements with institutional investors pursuant to which the investors purchased 1,250,000 units consisting of one share of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”), with a stated value of $20.00 per share (the “Stated Value”) and a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 7.41 shares of the common stock (the “Warrants”) for an aggregate of purchase price of $25.0 million.

The Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution. The Preferred Stock is entitled to annual dividends at a rate equal to 8.0% per annum on the Stated Value of the Preferred Stock. Accrued dividends will be payable quarterly in shares of common stock of the Company based on a fixed share price of $1.62. The Warrants have an exercise price of $1.62 per share, which was in excess of the closing price of $1.60 on May 30, 2019, and are immediately exercisable and will expire seven years from the date of issuance.

The Preferred Stock is not convertible and does not hold voting rights.

On the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company is required to redeem all the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock at the Stated Value, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. At any time prior to such date, the Company subject to the repayment and retirement of the Credit Agreement, may redeem any outstanding shares of Preferred Stock at the Stated Value, plus accrued and unpaid dividends (“Optional Redemption”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may elect an Optional Redemption prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date so long as it obtains from the lenders to the Credit Agreement their prior written consent to such Optional Redemption.

The aggregate number of shares of common stock issued in payment of dividends on the Preferred Stock when added to the number of shares of common stock issued upon exercise of any warrants shall not exceed 19.9% of either (a) the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on the date hereof or (b) the total voting power of the Company’s securities outstanding on the date hereof that are entitled to vote on a matter being voted on by holders of the common stock, unless and until the Company obtains stockholder approval permitting such issuances.

As the Preferred Stock is mandatorily redeemable, it is presented as a liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. All dividends payable on the Preferred Stock are classified as interest expense.

The Preferred Stock and Warrants have been determined to be freestanding financial instruments and have been accounted for separately. The Warrants are considered equity instruments and are not required to be recorded as a liability and marked-to-market at each reporting period. On the date of issuance, the value of the Warrants was determined to be $6.7 million, which was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value of the warrants was recorded as an increase to Additional Paid-In Capital and a discount of the Preferred Stock. The discount will be amortized to interest expense through May 2023.

7.STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Options to directors, officers, consultants and employees

The Company maintains, as adopted by the board of directors, the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan as well as previous years plans (the “Plans”) providing for the issuance of equity based awards to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company. Non-qualified stock options granted under the plans may only be granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.  Awards under the plans may be either vested or unvested options.

In addition to the Plans, the Company has granted, on various dates, stock options to directors, officers, consultants and employees to purchase common stock of the Company. The terms, exercise prices and vesting of these awards vary.

8.INCOME TAXES

 

As the Company has not generated taxable income since inception, the cumulative deferred tax assets remain fully reserved, and no provision or liability for federal or state income taxes has been included in the financial statements.

 

6.9.EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. For all periods presented, due to the Company’s net losses, all of the Company’s common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share because they were anti-dilutive, due to the Company’s net losses.anti-dilutive.

 

7.10.RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

 

Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2017

Effective September 30, 2017, we early-adopted FASB ASU 2017-11, “Earnings per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features. Part I of ASU 2017-11 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features, a provision in an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) that provides a downward adjustment of the current exercise price based on the price of future equity offerings. Previous accounting guidance created cost and complexity for organizations that issue financial instruments with down round features by requiring, on an ongoing basis, fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. The new standard requires companies to disregard the down round feature when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to its own stock, for purposes of determining liability of equity classification. Companies that provide earnings per share (“EPS”) data will adjust their diluted EPS calculation for the effect of the feature when triggered (i.e., when the exercise price of the related equity-linked financial instrument is adjusted downward because of the down round feature) and will also recognize the effect of the trigger within equity. We applied this guidance on a prospective basis. The primary impact of adoption is that equity-linked financial instruments are less likely to be liability classified than prior to the adoption of this standard. The adoption of the new standard resulted in warrants issued in September 2017 not being classified as liabilities in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2018

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and affects the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU No. 2016-10 clarifies the following two aspects of Topic 606: evaluating whether promised goods and services are separately identifiable and determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property, which is satisfied at a point in time, or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property, which is satisfied over time. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-10, using the modified retrospective approach, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Additional information is available in Note 4, “Revenue.”

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), and affects the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. When another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, ASU No. 2014-09 requires an entity to determine whether the nature of its promise is to provide the specified good or service itself (that is, the entity is a principal) or to arrange for that good or service to be provided by the other party (that is, the entity is an agent). The amendments in ASU No. 2016-08 are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 on principal versus agent considerations by offering additional guidance to be considered in making the determination. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-08, using the modified retrospective approach, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Additional information is available in Note 4, “Revenue.

Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted2019

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires a lessee to recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (“the lease liability”) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. When measuring assets and liabilities arising from a lease, the lessee should include payments to be made in optional periods only if the lessee is reasonably certain, as defined, to exercise an option to the lease or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. Optional payments to purchase the underlying asset should be included if the lessee is reasonably certain it will exercise the purchase option. Most variable lease payments should be excluded except for those that depend on an index or a rate or are in substance fixed payments. A lessee shall classify a lease as a finance lease if it meets any of five listed criteria: 1) The lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term. 2) The lease grants the lesseeor an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. 3) The lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset. 4) The present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset. 5) The underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. For finance leases, a lessee shall recognize in the statement of comprehensive income interest on the lease liability separately from amortization of the right-of-use asset. operating lease.

Amortization of the right-of-use asset shall be on a straight-line basis, unless another basis is more representative of the pattern in which the lessee expects to consume the right-of-use asset’s future economic benefits. If the lease does not meet any of the five criteria, the lessee shall classify it as an operating lease and shall recognize a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The amendments in this update are to bewere applied using a modified retrospective approach,the current period adjustment method, as defined, and arewere effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.

8.11.PRIVATE PLACEMENT MEMORANDUM AND STOCK OFFERINGSHARE HOLDERS EQUITY (DEFICIT)

 

On February 1, 2017, the Company announced the completion of its underwritten public offering of 6,500,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $3.00 per share. In addition, the underwriters exercised an option to purchase an additional 975,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions.

All of the shares in the offering were sold by the Company, with gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $22.4 million and net proceeds of approximately $20.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.

On April 26, 2018, the Company entered into and closed Subscription Agreements with accredited investors (the “April 2018 Accredited Investors”) pursuant to which the April 2018 Accredited Investors purchased 531,066 shares of the Company’s common stock (“April 2018 Shares”) for a purchase price of $1,444,500 or $2.72 per share. Stephen Burns, Benjamin Samuels, Gerald Budde and Julio Rodriguez, executive officers and/or directors of the Company, participated in this offering

On June 22, 2017, the Company entered into an at the market issuance sales agreement (the “Cowen Agreement”) with Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen”) under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time at its sole discretion, shares of its Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $25,000,000 through Cowen as its sales agent. As of June 30, 2018, the Company issued 1,876,489 shares from this facility for proceeds of approximately $5.8 million.

On September 14, 2017, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Cowen relating to the public offering and sale (the “Offering”) of 3,749,996 shares of the Company’s common stock, and five-year warrants (exercisable beginning on the date of issuance) to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,812,497 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Each investor received a warrant to purchase 0.75 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.80 per share, for each share of common stock purchased.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, Cowen purchased 3,749,996 shares of the Company’s common stock and accompanying warrants at a price per share of $3.20.  The net proceeds to the Company were approximately $10.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.  The sale of such shares and accompanying warrants closed on September 18, 2017. The warrants contained full ratchet anti-dilution protection upon the issuance of any common stock, securities convertible into common stock or certain other issuances at a price below $3.20, with certain exceptions.Offerings

 

On June 4, 2018, the Company and holders of all outstanding Warrants to Purchase Common Stock of the Company issued on September 18, 2017 (collectively, the “Warrants”) entered into separate, privately-negotiated exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”), pursuant to which the Company issued to such holders an aggregate of 1,968,736 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for the Warrants. The closing of the exchanges contemplated by the Exchange Agreements occurred on June 5, 2018. In addition, the “Down Round” feature of the Warrants was triggered in the second quarter of 2018, causing the strike price to decrease from $3.80 per share to $2.62 per share. As a result, the Company recorded approximately $765,179 as a deemed dividend of $765,179 which represents the fair value transferred to the Warrant holders due tofrom the Down Round being triggered. The deemed dividend was recorded as a reduction of Retained Earnings and increase in Additional Paid-in-Capital and reduced net income available to common shareholders by the same amount.

 

Commencing February 11, 2019, the Company entered into and closed Subscription Agreements with accredited investors (the “February 2019 Accredited Investors”) for the purchase of 1,613,683 shares of the Company’s common stock for a purchase price of $1,465,056. If, prior to the six month anniversary, the Company issues shares of its common stock for a purchase price per share less than the purchase price paid by the February 2019 Accredited Investors (a “Down Round”), the Company will issue additional shares of common stock (for no additional consideration) such that the effective purchase price per share is equal to the purchase price per share paid in the Down Round. The Down Round provisions were triggered by the May 1, 2019 sale of common stock and an additional 116,496 shares of common stock were issued to the February 2019 Accredited Investors. The issuance of the additional shares is accounted for as a $86,207 deemed dividend.

Benjamin Samuels and Gerald Budde, directors of the Company, acquired 841,928 and 26,310 shares of common stock, respectively, as part of this offering at a per share purchase was $0.9501, which was above the closing price the date prior to close. They did not receive the Down Round protection.

On May 1, 2019, the Company closed under a registered public offering the sale of 3,957,432 shares of Common Stock for a purchase price of $0.74 per share. The net proceeds to the Company were approximately $2.9 million, after deducting estimated expenses payable by the Company. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital, general corporate purposes and repayment of debt and other obligations.

9.12.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company evaluates events and transactions occurring subsequent to the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements for matters requiring recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements consider events through the date on which the condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

On July 6, 2018, the Company, as borrower, entered into a Loan Agreement with a fund managed by Arosa Capital Management LP (“Arosa”), as lender, providing for a term loan (the “Arosa Loan”) in the principal amount of $6,100,000 (the “Loan Agreement”). The maturity date of the Arosa Loan is July 6, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”). The interest rate for the Arosa Loan is 8% per annum payable in quarterly installments commencing October 6, 2018. The Company may prepay the Arosa Loan at any time upon three days written notice.

The Loan Agreement requires the Company to pay Arosa’s expenses including attorney fees. The Loan Agreement also requires the Company to make certain representations and warranties and other agreements that are customary in loan agreements of this type and also includes covenants to raise $10,000,000 in equity prior to September 30, 2018 and to consummate a sale of Surefly, Inc., the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary resulting in cash proceeds of no less than $20,000,000. The Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default, including non-payment of principal or interest, violations of covenants, bankruptcy and material judgments. The Company’s subsidiaries and Arosa also entered into a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and Intellectual Property Security Agreement providing that the Company’s obligations to Arosa are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. In addition, the Company is required to appoint to the Board of Directors a person designated in writing by Arosa for a period of no less than 12 months.

The Company used the proceeds from the Arosa Loan to satisfy the Senior Secured Loans initially issued December 27, 2017 in the amount of $5,750,000 and a loan in the amount of $350,000 payable to the former owner of the Company’s facility based in Loveland, Ohio.

In accordance with the Loan Agreement, the Company issued Arosa a warrant to purchase 5,000,358 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $2.00 per share exercisable in cash only for a period of five years. While the Arosa Loan remains outstanding, the Company will be required to issue additional warrants to purchase common stock to Arosa equal to 10% of any additional issuance excluding issuances under an approved stock plan. The additional warrants to purchase common Stock will have an exercise price equal to the lesser of $2.00 or a 5% premium to the price utilized in such financing. Pursuant to the warrant, Arosa may not exercise such warrant if such exercise would result in Arosa beneficially owning in excess of 9.99% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding common stock. On August 2, 2018, after conducting additional due diligence on the Company’s available collateral base, Arosa agreed to enter into the First Amendment to the Loan Agreement with the Company pursuant to which an additional $1,700,000 was loaned to the Company for working capital purposes and general corporate purposes. In addition, various covenants were added or amended including, but not limited to, requiring the Company to satisfy its Mortgage on its Loveland, Ohio facility no later than October 1, 2018.

Separately, on July 5, 2018, the Company received a short-term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 from accredited investors (collectively, the “Loan Parties”), including $200,000 from a related party investor. To evidence the loans, the Company issued the Loan Parties promissory notes (the “Loan Parties Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000. The Loan Parties Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and are not convertible into equity securities of the Company. Principal and interest under the Loan Parties Notes is due and payable January 5, 2019, however, in the event that the Company raises in excess of $10,000,000 in equity or debt financing, then the Company will use part of its proceeds to pay off the Loan Parties Notes. Interest accrues on the Loan Parties Notes at the rate of 12.0% per annum. The Loan Parties Notes contain terms and events of default customary for similar transactions. The Company is using the net proceeds from the transaction for general business and working capital purposes.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Overview and Quarter Highlights 

 

We are a technology company focused on providing sustainable and cost-effective solutions to the commercial transportation sector. As an American manufacturer, we design and build high performance battery-electric vehicles and aircraft that make movement of people and goods more efficient and less harmful to the environment. As part of our solution, we also develop cloud-based, real-time telematics performance monitoring systems that enable fleet operators to optimize energy and route efficiency. Although we operate as a single unit through our subsidiaries, we approach our development through two divisions, Automotive and Aviation. OurWe are currently focused on our core products, under development and/competency of bringing the N-GEN electric cargo van to market and fulfilling our existing backlog of orders. We are also exploring other opportunities in monetizing our intellectual property which could include a sale, license or in manufacture,other arrangement of assets that are the last mile step and cargo vans, the W-15 pickup truck, the delivery drone and the manned multicopter, SureFly.

outside of our core focus.

 

Workhorse electric delivery vans are currently in production and are in use by our customers on U.S. roads. Our delivery customers include companies such as UPS, FedEx Express, Alpha Baking and WBW.B. Mason. Data from our in-house developed telematics system demonstrates our vehicles on the road are averaging approximately a 500% increase in fuel economy as compared to conventional gasoline-based trucks of the same size and duty cycle.

 

In addition to improved fuel economy, we anticipate that the performance of our vehicles on-route will reduce long-term vehicle maintenance expense by approximately 50% as compared to fossil-fueled trucks.

We are an OEM capable of manufacturing Class 3-6 commercial-grade, medium-duty truck chassis at our Union City, Indiana facility, marketed under the Workhorse® brand. All Workhorse last mile delivery vans are assembled in the Union City assembly facility.

 

From our development modeling and the existing performance of our electric vehicles on American roads, we estimate that our E-GEN Range-Extended Electric delivery vans will save over $150,000 in fuel and maintenance savings over the 20-year life of the vehicle. Due to the positive return-on-investment, we place a premium price for our vehicles when selling to major fleet buyers. We expect that fleet buyers will be able to achieve a four-year or better return-on-investment (without government incentives), which we believe justifies the higher acquisition cost of our vehicles.

 

We believe that we are the only medium-duty battery-electric OEM in the U.S. and we will be introducing additional light-duty electric and range-extended electric vehicles in late 2018 and 2019.

Our goal is to continue to increase sales and production, while executing on our cost-down strategy to a point that will enable us to achieve gross margin profitability of the last mile-delivery van platform. As a key strategy, we have begun development ofdeveloped the Workhorse N-GEN platform, which has been accelerated from our development efforts on the USPS Next Generation Delivery Vehicle (“NGDV”) program.


The Workhorse N-GEN electric cargo van platform will be available in multiple size configurations, 450, 700 and 1,000 cubic feet. TheWe intend to initiate the launch with the 450 cubic foot configuration where it is designed to compete with the Sprinter, Transit and RAM ProMaster gasoline/diesel trucks in the commercial sector with an emphasis on last-mile delivery and other service-oriented businesses, such as telecom. This ultra-low floor platform incorporates state-of-the-art safety features, economy and performance: weperformance. We expect these vehicles to achieve a fuel economy equivalent of approximately 60 MPG and offer fleet operators the most favorable total cost-of-ownership of any comparable vehicle available today. We believe we are the first American OEM to market a U.S. built electric cargo van, and early indications of fleet interest are significant. We expect the N-GEN trucks will be supported by our Ryder Systems partnership.

Using N-GEN light duty prototypes, we delivered over 100,000 packages in San Francisco and Ohio during our testing. During the period we achieved 50 MPGe and successfully demonstrated the role the vehicle can have in last mile delivery.

  

As a direct result of the USPS award and development efforts, Workhorse has begun development on the Workhorse W-15, a medium- and light-duty pickup truck platform aimed at commercial fleets. The W-15 pickup truck powertrain is a smaller version of its sister vehicle, the medium-duty battery electric powertrain, and will have two purpose-built variants, apowertrain. Workhorse is currently evaluating licensing opportunities with respect to its W-15 worklight duty pickup truck (pickup) and an N-GEN cargo van. Either of these two variants will appeal to delivery fleets, utility companies, telecom companies, municipalities and more.platform.

 

Our HorseFly™ Delivery Dronedelivery drone is a custom designed, purpose-built drone that is fully integrated in our electric trucks. HorseFly is an octocopter designed with a maximum gross weight of 30 lbs., a 10 lb. payload and a maximum air speed of 50 mph. It is designed and built to be rugged and consisting of redundant systems to further meet the FAA’s required rules and regulations.

 

10

SureflySureFly™ is our entry into the emerging vertical take-off and landing (“eVTOL”)VTOL market. It is designed to be a two-person, 400-pound payload aircraft with a hybrid internal combustion/electric power generation system. Our approach in the design is to build the safest and simplest way to fly rotary wing aircraft in the world. We believe it is a practical answer to personal flight, as well as, commercial transportation segments, including air taxi series, agriculture and beyond.

 

The FAA to-date has granted eight14 separate Experimental Airworthiness Certifications, registered as N834LW, for the aircraft. These certifications come after an extensive design review and inspection of the aircraft with each renewed certificate.

In addition,November 2018, Workhorse signed cooperative research and development agreement with a branch of the FAA accepted Surefly’s application for Type CertificationU.S. Military to test SureFly with a specific focus on military applications. This further expands the potential market for the aircraft.

We are continuing with our efforts to consummate a sale of the SureFly eVTOL aircraft.business although we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in such efforts. We are currently in ongoing negotiations and due diligence procedures with a potential buyer. There are no assurances that these activities will result in the ultimate sale of the business.

 

We continue to leverage our knowledge of high-voltage battery packs, electric motor controls, software and range extending generators to design a multicopter that can carry a pilot and passenger.14

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  

Cash Requirements

 

From inception, we have financed our operations primarily through sales of equity securities.securities and borrowings. We have consumed substantial amounts of capital to date as we continue to invest in our R&D activities and buildmanufacturing our vehicles.

 

As of June 30, 2018,2019, we had approximately $0.6$23.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments, as compared to approximately $4.1$1.5 million as of December 31, 2017, a decrease2018, an increase of approximately $3.5$22.0 million. The decrease in cash and cash equivalentsincrease was primarily attributable to the $25.0 million sale of Series B Preferred stock, the amount drawn on the Marathon Tranche Two debt and sales of our common stock. These cash inflows were partially offset by the operating loss for the period partially offset byperiod.

The Marathon Credit Facility includes financial covenants that require our compliance beginning in the issuancefourth quarter of common stock during2019. We expect to be able to satisfy the period.covenant requirements either through results of operations or the available Equity Cure in the Credit Agreement.

 

We believe our existing capital resources including($23.5 million of cash at June 30, 2019) and our new Arosa Loan,Marathon revolving credit loans will be sufficient to support our current and projected funding requirements through the end of the third quarter of 2018.2019. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of our business and research and development activities, including risks and uncertainties that could impact the rate of progress of our development activities, we are unable to estimate with certainty the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenditures that will be required over the next 12 months.expenditures.

 

Our operations will require significant additional funding for the foreseeable future. Unless and until we are able to generate a sufficient amount of revenue and reduce our costs, we expect to finance future cash needs through public and/or private offerings of equity securities, debt financings and/or debt financings.monetization of existing assets. With the exception of contingent and royalty payments that we may receive under our existing collaborations, we do not currently have any committed future funding. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders could at that time experience substantial dilution. Any debt financing that we are able to obtain may involve operating covenants that restrict our business.

 

Our future funding requirements will depend upon many factors, including, but not limited to:

 

our ability to acquire or license other technologies or compounds that we may seek to pursue;
our ability to manage our growth;
competing technological and market developments;
the costs and timing of obtaining, enforcing and defending our patent and other intellectual property rights; and
expenses associated with any unforeseen litigation.

 

Insufficient funds have required and may requirecontinue to cause us to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our research or development programs, limit our sales activities, limit or cease production or negatively impact our operations.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, we maintained an investment portfolio primarily in money market funds, U.S. treasury bills, government-sponsored enterprise securities, and corporate bonds and commercial paper.funds. Cash in excess of immediate requirements is invested with regard to liquidity and capital preservation. Wherever possible, we seek to minimize the potential effects of concentration and degrees of risk. We will continue to monitor the impact of the changes in the conditions of the credit and financial markets to our investment portfolio and assess if future changes in our investment strategy are necessary

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations. Our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP and follow general practices within the industry in which we operate. The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make certain judgments and assumptions in determining accounting estimates. Accounting estimates are considered critical if the estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and different estimates reasonably could have been used in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimate are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, that would have a material impact on the presentation of our financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations.

 

For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see “Critical Accounting Policies” included in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as amended,2018, under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We have made no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates other than the adoption of ASC 606, from those described in our Annual Report onForm 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018, except as follows:

Warrant Liability

We account for certain common stock warrants that are outstanding as a liability at fair value which is marked to market at the end of each reporting period. The liability is subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date until the warrants are exercised or expire and any change in fair value is recognized as an adjustment to current period interest expense. The fair value of the warrants is measured using a Black Scholes model which includes various inputs, including the market price of our common stock on the balance sheet date and estimated volatility of our common stock. Any significant change in the market price of our common stock may significantly change the value of the liability and impact our results of operations.


 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

For a discussion of our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks” included in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as amended,2018, under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” There have been no material changes to the information provided in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15-d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined under 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. 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 officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that existed as of June 30, 2018,2019, as discussed below.

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, we identified the following material weaknesses:

The Company has not established adequate financial reporting monitoring activities to mitigate the risk of accounting errors
The lack of a fully implemented enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system caused over reliance on manual entries.

 

With respect to our internal control over financial reporting, these material weaknesses have been and continue to be discussed among management and our Audit Committee. Management intends to review, revise and improve our internal control over financial reporting until the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting are eliminated.remediated.

 

Management’s specific remediation to address these material weaknesses will and has included among other items:

 

Complete implementation of the ERP system modules covering purchase orders and inventoryinventory.

ReviewHire an international accounting firm to assist the company with a broad-based review of our internal control environment including the identification of controls gaps and implement adequate account reconciliation processesimplementation of controls to improve the end of period closing process

Hire a controller with public company experience

remediate those gaps.

 

We believe the initiated remediation measures will strengthen our internal control over financial reporting and should eventually remediate the material weaknesses identified. However, because we are still assessing the design and operating effectiveness of these measures and need to put more controls in place, the identified material weaknesses have not been remediated as of June 30, 2018.2019. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these remediation measures and will make any changes and take such other actions that we deem appropriate.

  

We assessed the material weaknesses’ impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements to ensure they were prepared in accordance with GAAP and present fairly the condensed consolidated financial position, financial results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periodsthree months ended June 30, 2018.2019. Based on these additional procedures and assessment, we concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material aspects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

  

The Company has completed implementation of a new ERP system which includes modules covering purchase orders and inventory as of March 31, 2018.

Beginning January 1, 2017, we implemented ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  Although the new revenue standard is expected to have an immaterial impact on our ongoing net income, we did implement changes to our processes related to revenue recognition and the control activities within them.  These included the development of new policies based on the five-step model provided in the new revenue standard, new training, ongoing contract review requirements, and gathering of information provided for disclosures.

Except as described above, thereThere were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 20182019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We are involved from time to time in legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of our business. We do not believe that any liability that may result from these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. On July 18, 2019, All Cell Technologies, LLC and Illinois Institute of Technology filed a Complaint for Patent Infringement against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana.  Management of the Company believes this lawsuit is baseless and intends to defend itself vigorously.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

 

On December 26, 2017, as part of its initial efforts to spin-off Surefly, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with several existing institutional investors pursuant to which the Company issued original issue discount Senior Secured Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $5,750,000 in consideration of gross proceeds of $5,000,000 paid by the Spin-Off Investors. The loan, which has been repaid in full, was convertible into Surefly equity upon achieving the spin-out. On June 28, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment agreement with the Spin-Off Investors providing that the Senior Secured Notes were amended to provide a maturity date of July 6, 2018. On July 6, 2018, the Company paid off the Senior Secured Notes in full.

On July 6, 2018, the Company, as borrower, entered into a Loan Agreement with a fund managed by Arosa Capital Management LP (“Arosa”), as lender, providing for a term loan (the “Arosa Loan”) in the principal amount of $6,100,000 (the “Loan Agreement”). The maturity date of the Arosa Loan is July 6, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”). The interest rate for the Arosa Loan is 8% per annum payable in quarterly installments commencing October 6, 2018. The Company may prepay the Arosa Loan at any time upon three days written notice. The Loan Agreement requires the Company to pay Arosa’s expenses including attorney fees. The Loan Agreement also requires the Company to make certain representations and warranties and other agreements that are customary in loan agreements of this type including a covenant to raise $10,000,000 in equity prior to September 30, 2018 and to consummate a sale of Surefly, Inc., the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary resulting in cash proceeds of no less than $20,000,000. The Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default, including non-payment of principal or interest, violations of covenants, bankruptcy and material judgments. The Company, the Company’s subsidiaries and Arosa also entered into a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and Intellectual Property Security Agreement providing that the Company’s obligations to Arosa are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. In addition, the Company is required to appoint to the Board of Directors a person designated in writing by Arosa for a period of no less than 12 months. The Company used the proceeds from the Arosa Loan to satisfy the Senior Secured Loans initially issued December 27, 2017 in the amount of $5,750,000 and a loan in the amount of $350,000 payable to the former owner of the Company’s facility based in Loveland, Ohio. In accordance with the Loan Agreement, the Company issued Arosa a Warrant to Purchase 5,000,358 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $2.00 per share exercisable in cash only for a period of five years. While the Arosa Loan remains outstanding, the Company will be required to issue additional Warrants to Purchase Common Stock to Arosa equal to 10% of any additional issuance excluding issuances under an approved stock plan. The additional Warrants to Purchase Common Stock will have an exercise price equal to the lesser of $2.00 or a 5% premium to the price utilized in such financing. Pursuant to the Warrant, Arosa may not exercise such Warrant if such exercise would result in Arosa beneficially owning in excess of 9.99% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding common stock. On August 2, 2018, after conducting additional due diligence on the Company’s available collateral base, Arosa agreed to enter into the First Amendment to the Loan Agreement with the Company pursuant to which an additional $1,700,000 was loaned to the Company for working capital purposes and general corporate purposes.
