NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split

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

Going Concern

 

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

On January 14, 2022 the Company entered into an agreement with Canaccord Genuity LLC to raise the at-the-market (“ATM”) offering amount to $100,000,000, and on October 4, 2022, the Company signed an equity line of credit ("ELOC") agreement with Tumim Stone Capital LLC whereby the investor will provide up to $50,000,000 of financing with certain restrictions. On January 18, 2023, the Company obtained additional funds totaling $12.0 million via a confidentially marketed public equity offering. Due to the terms of this offering, Arcimoto is restricted from variable rate transactions and, thus, unable to utilize the ATM and ELOC to raise additional capital for a period of one year from January 18, 2023, the date the Prospectus Supplement was filed. The terms of this offering also restricted equity transactions for a period of 90 days unless approved by more than 50% of the investors in the offering filed on January 18, 2023. After that 90 day period, the Company became able to offer to sell its securities in a public offering under its S-3 registration. However, this ability to obtain additional financing is dependent on the price and volume of Arcimoto's common stock and may be further restricted by certain Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules that limit the number of shares the Company is able to sell under its Form S-3 registration statement. During 2023, the Company obtained a loan that is secured by the Company's land and buildings as disclosed in Note 6 - Mortgage Loan. The principal amount of this loan is $6,000,000 and includes a discount of $600,000. The interest rate on this loan is 20% and the loan is due in August 2023 unless an additional six-month extension is granted. The extension can only be granted under certain conditions, which include, in part, payment of all accrued interest and a facility fee of $300,000 and that no event or potential event of a default exists. Furthermore, the Company’s accounts payable balance is approximately $93,700,000,$6.7 million at May 19, 2023, of which a significant amount is more than 30 days past due.

ARCIMOTO, INC.
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Management has evaluated these conditions and concluded that they raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least a period of one year from the issuance of these unaudited financial statements. Management has initiated a series of actions to alleviate the Company’s financial situation: (1) reducing headcount significantly via lay-offs and an unpaid furlough program that started at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2022 and may likely continue into the foreseeable future; (2) temporarily suspending production in excessthe first quarter of cash needed for2023 in order to focus purchases on the next twelve months. In the event that additional funding isminimum needed to sustainresume production, which occurred in March 2023; (3) negotiating payment plans with the business,Company’s vendors that are critical to the Company’s operations; and (4) monetizing assets that may not be critical to the core business. Management also plans to pursue other financing solutions through the credit and equity markets. There can be no assurance that the Company anticipates beingwill be able to obtainsecure such funds throughadditional financing or, if available, that it will be on favorable terms or that the capital markets and/or by re-financingCompany will be able to sufficiently reduce costs for any such additional financing to meet its long-lived assets.

needs. Therefore, the plans cannot be deemed probable of being implemented. As a result, the Company has concluded that management’s plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

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

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statement presentation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2022,2023, and the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 2023and 20212022 and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 2023and 20212022.. Results for the three months ended March 31, 20222023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.2023. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 20212022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022.April 14, 2023.

 

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

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

 

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 “Business Combinations” using the acquisition method of accounting, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. Upon acquisition, the acquired assets and liabilities and results of operations are consolidated beginning at the acquisition date. See Note 3 - TMW Acquisition for additional information related to our acquisition that concluded in the first quarter of 2021.

Inventory

 

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

The Company is required to remit partial prepayments for some purchases of its inventories acquired from overseas vendors which are included in prepaid inventory. The Company is currently selling vehicles below the base cost of a finished unit. Accordingly, the Company expensed all labor and overhead as period costs and recorded an allowance to reduce certain inventories to net realizable value of approximately $933,000$1,102,000 and $826,000$1,280,000 as of March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively. The amount expensed for all labor and overhead was approximately $3,050,000$1,620,000 and $1,785,000$3,050,000 for the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and March 31, 2021, 2022,respectively.

Intangible Assets

 

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

 

Net Loss per Share

 

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

 

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

 

During the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and 20212022,, the Company excluded the outstanding Employee Equity Plans (“EEP”) and other securities summarized below calculated using the Treasury Stock Method for options and other instruments and the If-Converted Method for convertible notes, which entitled the holders thereof to ultimately acquire shares of common stock, from its calculation of earnings per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Convertible Notes, Mortgage Loan and Warrants

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

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”) which supersedes ASC Topic 840, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on their balance sheets for all the leases with terms greater than 12 months. Based on certain criteria, leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. 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. In November 2019, the FASB delayed the effective date for Topic 842 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 for private companies and emerging growth companies, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU No2020-05 that further delayed the effective date of Topic 842 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. We adopted this new standard on January 1, 2022. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No.2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements” that allows entities to apply the provisions of the new standard at the effective date, as opposed to the earliest period presented under the modified retrospective transition approach and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients primarily focused on leases that commenced before the effective date of Topic 842, including continuing to account for leases that commence before the effective date in accordance with previous guidance, unless the lease is modified. Most of the Company's operating lease commitments are subjected to the new standard and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption of Topic 842, which increased the total assets and total liabilities that the Company reports relative to such amounts prior to adoption. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not have a material impact on Arcimoto’s Statement of Operations. Upon adoption on January 1, 2022, the Company recorded an operating lease right-of-use asset for approximately $1,800,000 and an operating lease liability of approximately $1,900,000. See Note 8 "Leases" for further disclosures.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequences of the change to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s financial statements properly reflect the change.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) which replaces the current incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology which is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The measurement of credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans receivables and tracetrade accounts receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees and other similar instruments) and net investment in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842 – Leases. ASU 2016-13 also made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities and requires credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on such securities management does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell. The Company is required to adoptadopted the provisions of this ASU 2016-13 oneffective January 1, 20232023. and hasThe adoption did not completed its assessment of ASU 2016-13’shave a material impact on itsthe Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3: TMW ACQUISITION

On January 23, 2021, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Tilting Motor Works, Inc. (“TMW”), a Washington corporation (the “Seller”) and its owner. TMW engages in the design, production, sales, and installation of a bolt on kit that converts a two wheeled motorcycle into a tilting three wheeled motorcycle. TMW was acquired to utilize the tilting technology in new three wheeled micro-mobility vehicles.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Company paid cash of $1,754,083 and issued 436,339 shares of Company common stock and assumed certain liabilities as consideration for substantially all of the TMW’s assets. The common shares issued were unregistered and are subject to sales restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933. The Company valued the shares issued in the transaction at the average of opening and closing price on the date of acquisition with a 12.5% discount for lack of marketability. The acquisition closed on February 4, 2021 and was recorded as a business combination as the set of assets and activities acquired met the definition of a business.

On December 23, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase certain buildings totaling approximately 187,000 square feet, and approximately 6.6 acres of real estate located within the City of Eugene, Oregon. The Company has agreed to purchase the properties commonly known as 311 Chambers Street and 1480 West 3rd Avenue, from RLA Holdings, LLC for the total purchase price of $10,250,000. The Company pledged $80,000 as earnest money for the transaction. During the first quarter of 2021, an additional 4.1 acres and 33,000 square feet of buildings to the south commonly known as 1593 W. 5th Ave. Eugene, Oregon was added to the purchase agreement totaling $2,500,000. The total sales price was increased to $12,750,000. The purchase was contingent upon the Company’s complete and unconditional approval of: (i) the property and its physical condition, zoning and land use restrictions, and all systems, utilities, and access rights pertaining to the property; (ii) the seller’s documents; (iii) securing financing; (iv) a Phase I environmental assessment and all appropriate inquiries investigation so as to protect the Company under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"); and (v) anything else the Company deems necessary.

NOTE 6: MORTGAGE LOAN

On February 17, 2023, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Arcimoto Property Holding Company, LLC (“Borrower”) entered into a loan (“Mortgage Loan”) with HRE FUV Lending, LLC (the "Lender”) and issued a related Promissory Note (the "Note”) payable to the Lender. Pursuant to the Mortgage Loan and the Note, the Borrower is receiving a $6,000,000 loan secured by all the real properties of the Borrower and all equity interests of Borrower. The loan (i) has an initial term of six months with the possibility of a further six month extension upon the satisfaction of certain conditions; (ii) has an interest rate equal to 20% per annum of the firstsix months (with the possibility of retroactive reduction to 10% if repaid in full within such six (6) months without an event of default having occurred) and zero percent (0%) per annum for the six (6) month extension period; (iii) requires an upfront fee to Lender of $600,000 on the date the loan is made (and an additional facility fee to Lender of $300,000 if the loan is not repaid in full within the firstsix (6) months or if an event of default occurs); (iv) requires that, in the event of prepayment, a minimum of $600,000 in interest must have been paid (with the possibility of reduction to $300,000 if repaid in full within the firstsix (6) months if no event of default has occurred); (v) provides that $500,000 of the loan amount is retained as a holdback by Lender for disbursement to Borrower only after certain construction is completed at the real property and the cost of such construction is paid in full by Borrower; (vi) contemplates an increase in the interest rate if an event of default occurs; (vii) is fully guaranteed by Holdings and is subject to a limited recourse guaranty by the Company. The Company elected to account for this mortgage loan using the fair value option. In estimating the fair value of this debt, a binomial lattice model was used. The required inputs include the risk-free rate, the Company's stock volatility, stock price on valuation date, and a risk premium. The note's fair value measurement is classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy as provided by ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement." The fair valuation of this mortgage loan uses inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly in a discounted cash flows model. Under this option, changes in fair value of the debt are recorded as an unrealized loss on mortgage loan fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations at inception of $336,194. For the period ended March 31,2023, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $113,234. The fair value of the loan was $5,722,960 as of March 31,2023.

NOTE 8: LEASES

 

Operating Leases

 

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

 

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

 

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

$4,500,000 Convertible Promissory Note ( "April 2022 Note")

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

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

Arcimoto has elected to measure the note at fair value. In estimating the fair value of this debt, a binomial lattice model was used. The required inputs include the risk-free rate, the Company's stock volatility, stock price on valuation date, and a risk premium. The note's fair value measurement is classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy as provided by ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement." The fair valuation of this convertible note uses inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly. Under this option, changes in fair value of the convertible debt are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on convertible note fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $817,590 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The balance on this note is $4,070,100 and $4,887,690 at March 31,2023 and December 31,2022, respectively, and is classified as a long-term liability on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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

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

Under the SPA, Arcimoto authorized the issuance of one or more series of senior secured convertible notes of the Company, in the aggregate original principal amount of $20,000,000. Such notes shall be convertible into shares of common stock, no par value per share, of the Company. Further, the Company authorized the issuance of warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock. The notes will rank senior to all outstanding and future indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries and will be secured by a second-priority perfected security interest in all of the existing and future assets of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, if any, including a pledge of all of the capital stock of each of the subsidiaries.

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

13

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

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

The Warrants are recorded at fair value on September 1, 2022 at $598,670 and are remeasured at fair value quarterly and are classified as a current liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As a result, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $282,498 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The balance of the Warrants at March 31,2023 and December 31,2022, is $91,976 and $374,474 and is recorded as Warrant liabilities in the current liabilities section of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Litigation

 

On March 6, 2020, the Company filed a complaint (“the Complaint”) against Ayro, Inc. (“Ayro”), accusing Ayro of patent infringement in Federal District Court for the Western District of Texas, Waco Division (Case No.6:20-cv-00176-ADA) (“the Ayro Litigation”). In the Complaint, Arcimoto alleged that Ayro’s 311two-seater electric vehicles infringe U.S. Patent 8,985,255 (the “255 Patent”). The Complaint asked for monetary damages and enhanced damages due to willful infringement of the 255 Patent by Ayro. On March 27, 2020, Ayro answered the Complaint, denying liability and asserting counterclaims of noninfringement and patent invalidity. During the first quarter of 2021, the parties reached a settlement and submitted a request to the court to dismiss the case.

The Company, Mark Frohnmayer and Douglas Campoli have been sued in two putative class actions in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, Barnette v. Arcimoto, Inc. et al. (Case No.21-cv-02143 filed on April 19, 2021) and Gibson v. Arcimoto, Inc. et al. (Case No.21-cv-02870 filed on May 20, 2021). The putative class actions purported to be on behalf of all those who purchased the Company’s common stock between February 14, 2018 and March 22, 2021. The allegations in the actions are based on the research report dated March 23, 2021 produced by Bonitas Research, LLC, a short seller of the Company’s common stock. The Barnette and Gibson actions were consolidated as In re Arcimoto, Inc. Securities Litigation (Case No.21-cv-02143) on July 14, 2021, and a consolidated amended complaint was filed on September 20, 2021. Briefing on the defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint was completed on March 11, 2022. No motion to certify a class has been filed at this time. The company believes it has substantial defenses to the claims asserted in this lawsuit and intends to vigorously defend this action. 

The Company is also a nominal defendant in two shareholder derivative lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, Liu v. Frohnmayer et al. (Case No.21-cv-03702 filed on June 30, 2021) and Carranza v. Frohnmayer et al. (Case No.21-cv-03888 filed on July 9, 2021), and a shareholder derivative lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon, Laguerre v. Frohnmayer et al. (Case No.21-cv-00982 filed on June 30, 2021). Mark Frohnmayer, Douglas Campoli, Terry Becker, Nancy Calderon, Joshua Scherer, and Jesse Eisler are named as defendants in all three shareholder derivative suits. Jeff Curl is named as a defendant in Laguerre and Liu. The allegations in the shareholder derivative lawsuits largely arise from the Bonitas report referenced above. The Liu and Carranza actions were consolidated on August 4, 2021 as In re Arcimoto, Inc. Derivative Litigation (Lead Case No.21-cv-03702). These derivative actions are currently stayed. The Company believes it has substantial defenses to the claims asserted and intends to vigorously defend the actions.

Overview

 

Arcimoto, Inc. (the “Company”, “We”, “Us”, or “Our”) was incorporated in the State of Oregon on November 21, 2007, with the mission to catalyze the shift to a sustainable transportation system. We build light, electric, ultra-efficient vehicles that are incredibly fun to drive for a reason. Put simply, our vision is an untouched planet and more livable cities.

 

Today’s city is dominated by the traditional four-wheeled vehicle. We pave almost half our urban land for these giant, multi-ton, extractive machines that we almost always drive alone or with just one other person and leave parked and rusting for most of their useful lives.

 

At Arcimoto, we believe that if we rightsize, electrify, and better utilize our vehicles, we can reclaim our shared space, help clean our skies, and make cities more livable for us all.

 

We have developed a new, human-scale three-wheeled electric vehicle platform, featuring dual-motor front wheelfront-wheel drive, a battery pack sized to meet the range needs of the vast majority of typical trips, and an optimized center of gravity for a nimble, balanced driving experience. On this platform, we currently manufacture a family of products targeting a wide range of everyday uses: the Fun Utility Vehicle® (“FUV®”), for daily driving, rideshare share and rental, the Deliverator for last-mile delivery of essential food and goods, the Rapid Responder® for emergency services and security, the Flatbed for general fleet utility, and the Roadster, a pure fun machine that drives like nothing else on the road.

We launched production of the FUV® in the third quarter of 2019, prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019, we produced 57 vehicles and sold 46 to customers. In 2020, Arcimoto produced 117 vehicles and sold 97. In 2021 Arcimoto produced 331 vehicles and sold 190 new and two pre-owned. During the first quarter ended March 31, 2022, we temporarily ceased production in order to move into our new production facilities in anticipation of future production growth. In addition, we certified a new battery module with new battery cells. In spite of the production transition and battery certification, Arcimoto produced 26 vehicles and delivered 24 new vehicles to customers during the first quarter of 2022. Production restarted in a new production line by the end of the first quarter of 2022.security.

 

The Company’s primary focus is on volume production planning in order to push to sustainable profitability. On April 19, 2021, the Company purchased an approximately 220,000 square foot facility to expand production capabilities. TheAfter temporarily pausing production in early January, the Company has resumed production and is preparing the final draft ofexecuting on its application for the Federal Department of Energy’s Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Loan Program (“ATVMLP”)growth strategy, while working to secure funds necessary to execute our growth strategy. additional financing.

 

Platform and Technologies

 

Arcimoto spent itsis fundamentally a technology company. Its first decade was spent developing and refining eight generations of a new three-wheeled electric vehicle platform: a light-footprint, nimble reverse-trike architecture that features a low center of gravity for stability on the road; dual-motor front-wheel drive for enhanced traction; can be parked three to a space while carrying two large adults comfortably, and is more efficient, by an order of magnitude, than today’s gas-powered cars. The Company has securedsecured 13 utility patents on various constituent technologies and vehicle platform architectures. As announced on June 10, 2020, Arcimoto has teamed with Munro & Associatesseveral companies to evaluate Arcimoto’s manufacturing processes and supply chain management in order to drive down costs and begin high-volumeincrease the volume of production of Arcimoto ultra-efficient electric vehicles. This project which is estimated to take two years, progressed significantly, primarily due to the purchase of a new production facility and additional capital manufacturing equipment, continued production ramp planning, and product architecture sourcing-selectionsourcing selection across all major vehicle subsystems.

FUV®

 

FUV® 

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

 

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

 

Rapid ResponderDeliverator®

 

The Rapid Responder® was announced on February 15, 2019. The pure-electric Rapid Responder® is developed on the Arcimoto platform, and designed to perform specialized emergency, security and law enforcement services at a fraction of the cost and environmental impact of traditional combustion vehicles. The Rapid Responder® aims to deliver first responders to incidents more quickly and affordably than traditional emergency response vehicles.

Arcimoto is initially targeting the more than 50,000 fire stations across the United States that use traditional fire engines and large automobiles to respond to calls. Arcimoto also plans to market the Rapid Responder® as a solution for campus security and law enforcement applications.

Deliverator®

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

 

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

Cameo (™)

 

Arcimoto completed a prototype of the Cameo, an FUV equipped with a rear-facing rear seat and a modified roof built for on-road filming in September 2020. We teased the Cameo prototype in several Arcimoto videos in September 2020 and have used the Cameo to shoot all of our own driving footage since its on-roading. Development of the Cameo is still in the planning stages.Flatbed

 

The Cameo is aimed at the film industry, as well as the growing influencer and Do-It-Yourself (“DIY”) film market. The Cameo is currently available to prospective customers as a custom-modified FUV.

Arcimoto Roadster

The Arcimoto Roadster prototype was first introduced in a video released October 30, 2020. Conceived as a pure platform fun machine, the Roadster offers a lower center of gravity, lower overall weight, and potentially improved aerodynamics. We announced the formal development of the Roadster product, in collaboration with industry partners on November 16, 2020. The first production Roadster was unveiled on July 26, 2021.

Arcimoto Flatbed

The Arcimoto Flatbed prototype was introduced at the FUV & Friends Summer Showcase on July 26, 2021. Similar to the Deliverator, it eschews the rear seat, this time for a pickup-style flatbed instead of an enclosed cargo area. Arcimoto announced a collaboration with an Eugene-based industry partner, and displayed a modular, expandableRetail sales of the flatbed that could be used for the Flatbed model.are in limited production.

 

Autonomous Driverless ArcimotoTRiO

 

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

Driverless Arcimoto

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

 

AtEquipped with Faction’s DriveLink™ and TeleAssist™ technologies, the completely driverless Faction D1 combines autonomy with remote human teleoperation. The driverless vehicle system retains the FUV & Friends Summer Showcase on July 26, 2021, Arcimoto demonstrated progress on torque vectoringplatform’s capabilities of a 75 mph top speed and other drive system software improvements, including “drive-by-wire” functionality, a foundational layer for a true driverless control system.just over 100 miles of range while transporting up to 500 pounds of cargo.

 

The first step toward that driverless control system was also on display at the Summer Showcase. A technology company, basedPilot projects are in South San Francisco, demonstrated the first ever driverless FUV using remote control, a step toward ride-on-demand, where riders will be able to summon a vehicle to their location and then hop in and drive.current deployment with additional scale/sites being added.

 

Development has continued to progress to the point where a vehicle was operated without a human on board.

Sales and Distribution Model

 

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

 

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

Service

 

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

 

Service-on-demandVehicle Financing

 

Our initial model is on-demand and on-site vehicle service by Arcimoto technicians or Arcimoto-authorized technicians. Service-on-demand will likely be the primary model during our West Coast release as the majority of the vehicles will be geographically located relatively near the factory or a mobile technician. We intend for customers to request service either through the Arcimoto mobile app or by calling a 24-hour service number.

In-market partnership

We are currently reviewing potential service partners located in our key distribution regions. We have contracted with Agero Driver Assistance Services, Inc. to provide our customers with roadside assistance. We are currently reviewing Agero’s network of pre-approved third-party service providers, as well as other third-party service providers, to perform service on Arcimoto vehicles. We are currently selecting, training, and certifying providers as we expand.

Rental facility service

We employ Arcimoto service technicians at some of our rental locations, depending on the dealer laws in the state. Customers near those rental locations are able to deliver their vehicle to that location for service needs.

Vehicle Financing

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

 

Management Opportunities, Challenges and Risks

 

Demand, Production, Sales Funnel and CapitalOrder Backlog

 

Retail and Commercial FUV Pre-ordersArcimoto temporarily paused vehicle production on January 3, 2023 as the Company sought additional capital. After raising additional capital, Arcimoto resumed production on February 12, 2023.

 

AsThe Company is focused on building our sales and rental revenue in the states where we have current rental operations and delivery options available for customers: California, Florida, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Hawaii and Arizona. Also, we plan to expand our business in other states as we scale our production.

Trends in Cash Flow, Capital Expenditures and Operating Expenses

 

Our capital expenditures are typically difficult to project beyond the short term given the number and breadth of our core projects at any given time and may further be impacted by uncertainties in future market conditions. We are simultaneously ramping a new products inproduct for the Deliverator and Roadster, micro mobility,second quarter of 2023, while ramping manufacturing facilities in the newat our 10-acre campus and piloting the development and manufacture of new battery module technologies, and the pace of our capital spend may vary depending on overall priority among projects, the pace at which we meet milestones, production adjustments to and among our various products, increased capital efficiencies and the addition of new projects. Owing and subject to the foregoing as well as the pipeline of announced projects under development and all other continuing infrastructure growth, weWe currently expect our capital expenditures to be between $35,000,000$500,000 to $40,000,000$1,000,000 in 2023. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we initiated a series of strategic plans to conserve cash and eachfocus on immediate revenue generating products in light of the next two fiscal years.global economic environment.

 

Our business has been consistently generating negative cash flow from operations, some of this is offset with better working capital management resulting in shorter days sales outstanding than days payable outstanding. We are also likely to see heightened levels of capital expenditures during certain periods depending on the specific pace of our capital-intensive projects and rising material prices and increasing supply chain and labor expenses resulting from changes in global trade conditions and labor availability associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.conditions. Moreover, while our stock price was significantly elevated during parts of 2021, we saw higher levels of exercise of investor warrants and options from employee equity plans, which obligates us to deliver shares pursuant to the terms of those agreements. Overall,In the long run, we expect our ability to be self-funding to be achieved as we approach a sales volume of approximately 7,500 vehicles per year and as long as macroeconomic factors support growth in our sales, and engineering cost reductions and volume pricing improve materials cost. On November 11, 2022, our shareholders approved an agreement to obtain additional funding (with certain restrictions) in order to finance our operations and growth with a $50,000,000 equity line of credit. Due to the January 18, 2023 common stock and warrant offering, the Company is restricted from utilizing the equity line of credit or the Canaccord Genuity LLC at-the-market (“ATM”) facility for a period of one year. The shareholders also approved a reverse stock split of the Company's stock of 1-for-20 that was completed on November 11, 2022. These series of actions allow us to access funds from the capital markets which will be used to fund our operations in the foreseeable future.

Risks and Uncertainties

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Although we expect our acquisition of Tilting Motor Works, Inc. ("TMW") to positively impact our overall financial performance, the results may not justify our intangible asset values. If this occurs, we will have to consider the recoverability of our values placed on our intangible assets.New Accounting Pronouncements

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

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

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”)) or net realizable value. We expense all labor and overhead costs as we are currently selling vehicles below the base cost of a finished unit. As such, our inventory costs consist mainly of material costs. Due to external economic conditions, including supply chain issues and inflation, among other things, such costs may fluctuate significantly over time and affect our results of operations. There had been no significant fluctuations

Convertible Notes, Mortgage Loan and Warrants

We have elected the fair value option under ASC 825-10-25 to account for the $4,500,000 and $10,000,000 convertible notes, as well as the mortgage loan and warrants. We have utilized a binomial lattice methodology in costsestimating the fair values of the materials usedconvertible notes. The mortgage loan fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow model. The warrant fair values were estimated using a Black Scholes model. The fair value measurements are classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy as provided by ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement". The fair valuation of these convertible notes, mortgage loan and warrants use inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly. Under this option, changes in our inventory duringfair value of the first quarterconvertible notes are recorded as unrealized gain/loss on convertible notes' fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of 2022. Operations.
