CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future financial performance or condition and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievement to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “should,” “will” and “would” or the negatives of these terms or other comparable terminology.

You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The cautionary statements set forth in this Quarterly Report, including in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere, identify important factors which you should consider in evaluating our forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things:

Our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our ability to resolve the funding backlog related to and created by the California Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (“HVIP”) staff that has to-date prevented us and our customers from accessing the funds, creating a significant delay in our ability to deliver products and to obtain new orders.

Our ability to generate demand for our zero-emission or hybrid drivetrain systems,commercial fleet vehicles, re-power conversion kits, and zero-emission or hybrid commercial fleet vehiclesdrivetrain systems in order to generate revenue;revenue.

Our dependence uponability to raise capital from external sources for the financing of our operations;operations on terms that are acceptable to us, which, in large part, will depend on our ability to mitigate the impact of certain anti-dilution and other rights contained in our outstanding warrants that have, to date, restricted our ability to obtain such funding.

Our ability to effectively execute our business plan;plan.

Our ability and our suppliers’ ability to scale our zero-emission drivetrain system manufacturing,products assembling and converting processes effectively and quickly from low volume production to high volume production;production.

Our ability to manage our expansion, growth and operating expenses and reduce and adequately control the costs and expenses associated with operating our business;business.

Our ability to obtain, retain and grow our customers;customers.

Our ability to enter into, sustain and renew strategic relationships on favorable terms;terms.

Our ability to achieve and sustain profitability;profitability.

Our ability to evaluate and measure our current business and future prospects;prospects.

Our ability to compete and succeed in a highly competitive and evolving industry;industry.

Our ability to respond and adapt to changes in electric or hybrid drivetrain technology; andvehicle technology.

Our ability to protect our intellectual property and to develop, maintain and enhance a strong brand.

Our ability to respond and adapt to unexpected legal and regulatory changes resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, such as shelter-in-place orders, travel, social distancing and quarantine policies, boycotts, curtailment of trade, and other business restrictions affecting our ability to assemble and sell our products, and provide our services.

You should read this Quarterly Report and the documents that we reference elsewhere in this Quarterly Report completely and with the understanding that our actual results may differ materially from what we expect as expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in greater detail, particularly in Part I, Item 2 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) and in Part II, Item 1A (Risk Factors) of this Quarterly Report. In light of the significant risks and uncertainties to which our forward-looking statements are subject, you should not place undue reliance on or regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified timeframe, or at all. These forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this Quarterly Report regardless of the time of delivery of this Quarterly Report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise after the date of this Quarterly Report.

Unless expressly indicated or the context requires otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report to “ADOMANI,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to ADOMANI, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

ADOMANI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Organization and Operations

ADOMANI, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) designs and causes to be designedis a provider of new purpose-built zero-emission electric vehicles focused on total cost of ownership. We are also a provider of advanced zero-emission electric and hybrid drivetrain systems for integration in new school buses and medium to heavy-duty commercial fleet vehicles. The Company also designs and causes to be designedprovides re-power conversion kits to replace conventional drivetrain systems for combustion powered vehicles with zero-emission electric or hybrid drivetrain systems.  The Company is also a provider of new zero-emission electricCompany’s vehicles and hybrid vehicles focused on total cost of ownership. The Company’s drivetrain systems and vehicles are designed to help fleet operators unlock the benefits of green technology and address the challenges of local, state and federal regulatory compliance and traditional-fuel price cost instability.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation—The consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of June 30, 20192020 and for the fiscal periods ended June 30, 20192020 and 20182019 are unaudited, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In our opinion, these unaudited financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 20182019 and 20172018 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.2019. The results of operations for the fiscal periodsperiod ended June 30, 20192020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Going Concern— As of June 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $883,949. We do not believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to fund our operations during the next eighteen months unless we are able to resolve the California Air Resources Board’s Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (“HVIP”) funding issues created by the HVIP staff in the near-term or we are able to mitigate the impact of certain anti-dilution and other rights contained in our outstanding warrants that have, to date, restricted our ability to raise additional debt or equity capital on terms that are acceptable to us. Such determination that our present capital resources will likely not be sufficient to fund our planned operations for the eighteen months following the date of this Quarterly Report raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

In the event we are unable to resolve the HVIP funding issues in the near-term and successfully execute our business plan, we will likely need additional capital to continue our operations and support the increased working capital requirements associated with the fulfillment of purchase orders.

The sale of additional equity securities in the future could result in additional dilution to our stockholders and those securities may have rights senior to those of our common stock. In particular, the warrants issued and sold in our January 2018 public offering include anti-dilution rights, which provide that if, at any time the warrants are outstanding, we issue or are deemed to have issued any shares of common stock or securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock (except for certain exempt issuances, including the issuance of certain stock options, shares of common stock upon the exercise of securities outstanding prior to January 2018 and securities issued in connection with certain acquisitions or strategic transactions) for consideration less than the then current exercise price of the warrants, which is currently $4.50 per share and subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms thereof, the exercise price of such warrants is automatically reduced to the price per share of such new issuance. Further, simultaneously with any adjustment to the exercise price of such warrants, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise of such warrants will be increased or decreased proportionately, such that after such adjustment the aggregate exercise price payable thereunder for the adjusted number of shares of common stock underlying such warrants will be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. To the extent that we issue or are or deemed to have issued securities for consideration that is substantially less than the exercise price of the warrants issued in our January 2018 public offering, holders of our common stock will experience dilution, which may be substantial and which could lower the

5


market price of our securities. Further, the potential application of such anti-dilution rights has, to date, restricted our ability to obtain additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us. In the event that we are unable to mitigate the impact of such anti-dilution rights and raise additional capital to finance our operations and continue to support our growth initiatives, we may not be able to continue as a going concern and may be forced to curtail all of our activities and, ultimately, cease our operations.

Principles of Consolidation—The accompanying financial statements reflect the consolidation of the individual financial statements of ADOMANI, Inc., ADOMANI California, Inc., Adomani (Nantong) Automotive Technology Co. Ltd., ADOMANI ZEV Sales, Inc., formerly known as School Bus Sales of California, Inc., and Zero Emission Truck and Bus Sales of Arizona, Inc., and ZEV Resources, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments—The carrying values of our financial instruments, including cash, notes receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 820, “Fair Value Measurement” defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. It also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data and that require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company does not have any assets or liabilities that are required to be measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

5


Revenue Recognition—The Company recognizes revenue from the sales of advancedzero-emission electric vehicles; from the sales of zero-emission electric drivetrain systems for fleet vehiclesvehicles; and from contracting to provide related engineering and, effective February 2020, vehicle maintenance and inspection services. In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance,The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for GAAP. The amendments in this guidance state thatwhich requires an entity shouldto recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This new guidance requires enhanced disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized.

In applying ASC Topic 606, the Company is required to to:

(1) identifyIdentify any contracts with customers, customers.

(2) determineDetermine if multiple performance obligations exist, exist.

(3) determineDetermine the transaction price, price.

(4) allocateAllocate the transaction price to the respective obligation,obligation; and,

(5) recognizeRecognize the revenue as the obligation is satisfied. Contracts under

As part of the termination agreement with Blue Bird, supply agreement, which was terminated effective as of May 31, 2019, and work performedthe Company is to be paid $5,000 for each electric drivetrain Blue Bird ordered from Cummins Corporation underduring the period of June 1, 2019 through September 30, 2019.  This agreement is a U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) grant awarded tosingle performance obligation with the Company recognizing revenue upon notification from Blue Bird Corporation, were single-performance obligations and, therefore, required no allocation of the transaction price.that delivery has been made to its customer. The Company’s participation in the DOE grant ended on May 31, 2019. Prior to such termination, the Company recognized revenue when product is shipped or is billedfinal customer delivery by its third-party supplier for work performed under the DOE grant. Additionally, the Company recorded revenue for these sales at gross, rather than net, as the Company was the principal obligor to Blue Bird Corporation for both the supply agreement and the statement of work for the DOE grant, and, priorwas made in April, 2020; thus, no additional revenue will be recorded by ADOMANI related to the termination agreement.

Product revenue also includes the sale of such agreements, assumedelectric trucks and cargo vans. These sales represent a single performance obligation with revenue recognition occurring at the risktime title transfers. Transfer of title occurs when the customer has accepted the van and signed the appropriate documentation acknowledging receipt.

The Company is the recipient of a purchase order issued from GerWeiss EV USA LLC (“GerWeiss”) to produce all-electric tricycles (“e-trikes”), or all-electric light weight commercial vehicles. The Company has agreed to provide deposits to GerWeiss to fund the procurement of the supplies and assembly of the tricycles. The purchase order represents a single performance obligation with the Company recognizing revenue upon notification that the assembled units have been completed  by GerWeiss. Upon the recording of revenue, the corresponding deposits are recorded as cost of goods sold.

Other revenue includes, effective February 2020, performing basic vehicle maintenance and detailing, as well as safety inspections for non-performance, or non-compliance, related to any work performed by its subcontractor.compliance with United States Department of Transportation guidelines. These sales represent a single performance obligation with revenue recognition occurring at the time services are invoiced.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents— The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Marketable Securities—The Company invests in short-term, highly liquid, marketable securities, such as U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. Treasury bonds, and other government-backed securities. The Company classifies these marketable securities as held-to-maturity, as the intent is not to liquidate them prior to the respective stated maturity date.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—The Company establishes an allowance for bad debts through a review of several factors including historical collection experience, current aging status of the customer accounts, and financial condition of its customers. The Company does not generally require collateral for its accounts receivable. The Company had trade accounts receivable of $2,666,841$8,500 and $996,621$661,352 as of June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. AsBecause the entire trade accounts receivable balance relatesas of June 30, 2020 is immaterial, and because all but $15,000 of the trade accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2019, respectively, related to one customer, whichtwo California government agencies, and was paid to ADOMANI during the Company believes to be credit-worthy and, consequently, there is very little chance of default,three months ended June 30, 2020,  no allowance has been recorded relative to the trade accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2019.2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.  

Notes Receivables The Company also had other receivablesnotes receivable of $314,340$823,848 and $143,734$834,491 as of June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. The Company provided an allowance for other receivablesnotes receivable of $20,000$571,000 and $70,000$471,000 as of June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018, respectively. $50,0002019, respectively (see Note 4 below).

Inventory and Inventory Valuation AllowanceThe Company records inventory at the lower of other receivables was written off against the allowance for the six months endedcost or market, and uses a First In, First Out (“FIFO”) accounting valuation methodology. The Company had inventory on hand of $431,470 and $494,158 as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company provided no inventory allowance as it was determined to be uncollectable.of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Inventory Deposits―The Company records all inventory deposits as prepaid assets. Upon completion of production, and acceptance by the Company, deposits are reclassified to either inventory or cost of goods, depending on whether a sale of the product has occurred.  The Company had inventory deposits of $988,956$801,204 and $882,050$935,204 as of June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.

Net Loss Per Share—Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common stockholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The diluted

7


weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares of common stock adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity securities. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had 13,904,436 and 7,556,323 stock options and stock warrants outstanding, respectively .

Concentration of Credit Risk—The Company has credit risks related to cash and cash equivalents on deposit with a federally insured bank, as at times it exceeds the $250,000 maximum amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

6


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—Long-lived assets, including property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates these assets to determine potential impairment by comparing the carrying amount to the undiscounted estimated future cash flows of the related assets. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets are written down to their fair value. There was no impairment of long-lived assets, or property and equipment, as of June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.

Research and Development—Costs incurred in connection with the development of new products and manufacturing methods are charged to operating expenses as incurred. Research and development costs were $102,656$0 and $440,433 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $147,656 and $596,367 for the six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation—The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered. Additionally, in June 2018 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-07, which simplified several aspects of accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of ASC Topic 718. The guidance is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has implemented this change beginning in 2019, although it has minimal impact on its financial statements.

Property and Equipment— Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company provides for depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to five years, except leasehold improvements, which are being amortized over the life of the lease term. Property and equipment qualify for capitalization if the purchase price exceeds $2,000. Major repairs and replacements, which extend the useful lives of equipment, are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the property. All other maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Leases—The Company accounts for leases as required by ASC Topic 842. The guidance requires companies to recognize leased assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose key information regarding leasing arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not effective, and does not believe that they will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

10. Contingencies

On August 2, 2018, Edward R. Monfort, our former Chief Technology Officer and former director, filed a complaint, captioned Edward R. Monfort v. ADOMANI, Inc., et al., Case No.: 18CV332757, in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Santa Clara, against us and certain of our executive officers, alleging that we and the other defendants (i) breached the terms of certain common stock subscription agreements to which Mr. Monfort is a party, (ii) fraudulently deprived Mr. Monfort of certain purported equity in the Company and (iii) fraudulently induced Mr. Monfort to execute a release of claims in connection with his June 2016 employment agreement. Mr. Monfort seeks unspecified monetary damages, declaratory relief regarding the extent of his equity ownership in the Company and other relief. On August 24, 2018, we filed a notice of removal pursuant to which we removed the case to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. On September 24, 2018, Mr. Monfort filed a motion for remand, seeking to remand the proceeding from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California back to the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Santa Clara. On January 8, 2019, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California denied the motion for remand. On February 7, 2019, we answered Mr. Monfort’s complaint and filed counterclaims against Mr. Monfort alleging counterclaims for: (i) breach of contract; (ii) declaratory judgment; (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; (iv) wrongful dilution; and (v) conversion. On March 26, 2019, Mr. Monfort filed an amended complaint, which was substantially similar, but which added as an additional defendant Dennis R. Di Ricco and corrected certain non-substantive typographical errors. We filed a substantially similar answer with the same counterclaims and, pursuant to a contractual indemnification arrangement, we have assumed the Defense of Mr. Di Ricco. We believe that Mr. Monfort’s lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.

On August 23, 2018, a purported class action lawsuit captioned M.D. Ariful Mollik v. ADOMANI, Inc. et al., Case No. RIC 1817493, was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Riverside against us, certain of our executive officers (together, the “Company Defendants”), Edward R. Monfort, our former Chief Technology Officer and former director, and the two underwriters of our offering of common stock under Regulation A in June 2017. This complaint alleges that documents related to our offering of common stock under Regulation A in June 2017 contained materially false and misleading statements and that all defendants violated Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act, of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and that we and the individual defendants violated Section 15 of the Securities Act, in connection therewith. The plaintiff seeks on behalf of himself and all class members: (i) certification of a class under California substantive law and procedure; (ii) compensatory damages and interest in an amount to be proven at trial; (iii) reasonable costs and expenses incurred in this action, including counsel fees and expert fees; (iv) awarding of rescission or rescissionary damages; and (v) equitable relief at the discretion of the Court. On November 9, 2018, in response to a demurrer filed by defendant Network 1 Financial Securities, PlaintiffPlaintiff’s counsel has subsequently filed a first amended complaint, which was substantially similar to the original complaint but refined certain allegations regarding the alleged material omissions that form the basis of the complaint. Defendants demurred to the first amended complaint. The court heard defendants’ demurrers to the first amended complaint on January 30, 2019. At this hearing the court granted plaintiff leave to file a second amended complaint. Plaintiff filed a second amended complaint, on January 31, 2019. The secondand a third amended complaint. Plaintiff Mollik was replaced by putative class representatives Alan K. Brooks and Electric Drivetrains, LLC. Alan K. Brooks was subsequently dropped as a putative class representative.

On October 25, 2019, we answered the third amended complaint, attempts to substitute in two putative class plaintiffs. Defendants jointly demurredgenerally denying the allegations and asserting affirmative defenses. On November 5, 2019, Network 1 and Boustead Securities (together the “Underwriters”) filed a cross-complaint against the Company seeking indemnification under the terms of the underwriting agreement the Company and the Underwriters entered for the Company’s initial public offering (the “Underwriting Agreement”). On December 10, 2019, the Company filed its answer to the secondUnderwriters’ cross-complaint, generally denying the allegations and asserting affirmative defenses. Also on this date, the Company filed a cross-complaint against the Underwriters seeking indemnification under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. On January 14, 2020, Mr. Monfort filed a cross-complaint against the Underwriters seeking indemnification under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. On January 15, 2020, Mr. Monfort filed a cross-complaint against the Company seeking indemnification under the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws and Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. On February 18, 2020 we filed an answer to Mr. Monfort’s cross-complaint, generally denying the allegations and asserting affirmative defenses.

On April 6, 2020, the Company Defendants, Mr. Monfort, and Plaintiff Electric Drivetrains engaged in mediation. The Underwriters declined to participate in the mediation. The mediation did not result in settlement. On April 16, 2020, Electric Drivetrains requested that defendants stipulate to Electric Drivetrains’ filing a fourth amended complaint. Defendants declined to stipulate to the fourth amended complaint, leading Electric Drivetrains to file a motion to amend the complaint. A hearing on March 4, 2019. On May 7, 2019, the Court held a hearing and tentatively issued a ruling indicating that the Second Amended Complaint should be dismissed, without prejudice. A subsequent written order confirmed the dismissal, without prejudice. On June 29, 2019, Plaintiffs filed their Third Amended Complaint, seeking to address the issues raised in the Court’s oral ruling. Defendants will be filing a Joint demurrer on July 29, 2019,this motion and a hearing on that demurrer is scheduledstatus conference are set for August 29, 2019.12, 2020. We believe that the purported class action lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.

On June 19, 2019, Alan K. Brooks, an ADOMANI investor, filed a complaint, captioned Alan K. Brooks v. ADOMANI, Inc., et al., Case No. 1-CV-349153 in the Superior Court of California for the County of Santa Clara, against the Company, certain of the Company’s executive officers and directors, one of the underwriters (the “Underwriter”) of the Company’s offering of common stock under Regulation A in June 2017, and certain of the Underwriter’s personnel, among others. The complaint alleges that the Company and other defendants breached the terms of an agreement between Mr. Brooks and the Company by refusing to release 1,320,359 shares of ADOMANI, Inc. stock to Mr. Brooks. Mr. Brooks seeks damages of $13,500,000.00 plus interest and attorney’s fees. On September 20, 2019, Mr. Brooks filed his first amended complaint (“FAC”) reasserting his breach of

14


contract claim and alleging five additional claims for (i) violations of Cal. Corp. Code Section 25401, (ii) fraud, (iii) negligent misrepresentation, (iv) elder abuse, and (v) unfair competition. We answered the FAC on November 12, 2019, generally denying the allegations in the FAC and asserting affirmative defenses. On January 9, 2020, the Underwriter filed a notice of related case, notifying the court of Mollik v. ADOMANI, et al., described above. On January 31, 2020, the Underwriter filed a motion to stay proceedings. The court heard the motion to stay on May 21, 2020 and took the matter under submission. The court subsequently issued a written order denying the motion to stay. A case management conference is scheduled in this matter for September 15, 2020. We believe that the lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.

On April 13, 2020, the Company filed a complaint against Ebus, Inc., Anders B. Eklov and Carol J. Eklov, Case No. 20ST-CV14275, in the Superior Court of California for the County of Los Angeles seeking to recover the remainder of the assets acquired by the Company through a credit bid in the amount of $582,000 at a foreclosure sale initiated by the Company following Ebus’s default in its obligations to the Company under a related promissory note. The complaint, among other things, seeks possession of the remainder of the assets and alleges that Ebus and the other defendants improperly converted or used certain of the assets. The Company continues to vigorously pursue such action and continues to evaluate several paths to obtaining the remaining assets that were purchased from Ebus at the foreclosure sale.

11.  Leases

As of June 30, 2020, the Company is a party to four operating leases. All of these leases are office or warehouse leases. As disclosed in Note 2, the Company accounts for leases as required by ASC Topic 842. The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exception to all leases of one year or less. As of June 30, 2020, this exception applies to the Stockton, California lease, which is month-to-month, and the Los Altos, California lease, which is for a term of one year. In applying the guidance in ASC 842, the Company has determined that all current leases should be classified as operating leases.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company entered into an operating lease for warehouse space in Corona, California (see Note 9). As required by ASC 842, in conjunction with this lease, the Company recognized an operating liability of $382,742 with a corresponding Right-Of-Use (“ROU”) asset of the same amounts based on the present value of the minimum rental payments of such leases. The discount rate used for this lease is the Company’s estimated borrowing rate of 14%. The ROU asset had a balance of $502,224 and $218,504 as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which is included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Current liabilities relating to the ROU asset were $198,076 and $70,492 as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and non-current liabilities relating to the ROU asset were $304,148 and $148,012 as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and are included in accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets. Cash paid for amounts included in operating lease liabilities was $107,560 and $46,184 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s operating leases had a weighted-average remaining lease term of 2.5 years.

12.  Subsequent Events

On July 1, 2020 and August 1, 2020, the Company issued a total of 88,891 shares of its common stock to consultants engaged by the Company as partial consideration for such consultant’s services (see Note 6).

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

The following discussion of our financial condition and the results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”). This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties, and other factors include, among others, those identified under the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, particularly in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors,” below.

Overview

We design and cause to be designed advancedare a provider of new purpose-built zero-emission electric and hybrid drivetrain systems for integration in new school buses and medium to heavy-duty commercial fleet vehicles. We also design and cause to be designed re-power conversion kits to replace conventional drivetrain systems for combustion powered vehicles with zero-emission electric or hybrid drivetrain systems. We expect to expand our product offerings to include the salefocused on total cost of zero-emission systems inownership. The vehicles are manufactured by outside, original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) partners located in China, Malaysia and the Philippines that can be marketed, sold, warrantied and serviced through our developing distribution and service network.

Our  We also are a provider of advanced zero-emission electric drivetrain systems can include options for telemetrics for remote monitoring, electric power-exportintegration in new  buses and various levels of grid-connectivity. Our zero-emission systems maymedium to heavy-duty commercial fleet vehicles. We also grow to include automated charging infrastructure and “intelligent” stationary energy storage that enables fast vehicle charging, emergency back-up facility power, and access to the developing, grid-connected opportunities for the aggregate power available from groups of large battery packs.

In addition to providing the zero-emission electric and hybrid drivetrain systems andprovide re-power conversion kits mentioned above, we are also a provider of newto replace conventional drivetrain systems for combustion powered vehicles with zero-emission electric and hybriddrivetrain systems. Our vehicles focused on total cost of ownership. Ourand drivetrain systems and vehicles are designed to help fleet operators unlock the benefits of  green technology that reduces greenhouse gases (“GHG”),nitrous oxide (“NOx”), particulate matter (“PM”) and other pollutants, as well as to address the challenges of local, state and federal regulatory compliance and traditional-fuel price cost instability.

For the three months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, our net losses were $1.3$1.1 million and $4.2$1.3 million, respectively, and $2.7$2.4 million and $8.3$2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe that the growth and future success of our business depend on various opportunities, challenges and other factors, including the following:

Availability of government subsidies, rebates and economic incentives. We believe that the availability of government subsidies, rebates, and economic incentives is currently a critical factor considered by our customers when purchasing our zero-emission systems or converting their existing vehicles to zero-emission-electric or hybrids, and that our growth depends in large part on the availability and amounts of these subsidies and economic incentives. In particular, our business and operating results have been and continue  to be significantly affected by our inability to resolve the California HVIP funding backlog created by the program’s staff that has to-date prevented us and our customers from accessing the funds, creating a significant delay in our ability to deliver products and to obtain new orders. We are working with the California Air Resources Board and the HVIP to resolve the administrative issues and have hired an experienced lobbyist to supplement our efforts.

New customers. We are competing with other companies and technologies to help fleet managers and their districts/companies more efficiently and cost-effectively manage their fleet operations. Once these fleet managers have decided they want to buy from us, we still face challenges helping them obtain financing options to reduce the cost barriers to purchasing. We may also encounter customers with inadequate electrical services at their facilities that may delay their ability to purchase from us.

13Dependence on external sources of financing of our operations. We have historically depended on external sources for capital to finance our operations. Our ability to raise additional capital on terms that are acceptable to us will depend, in large part, on our ability mitigate the impact of certain anti-dilution rights contained in our outstanding warrants that have, to date, restricted our ability to obtain such funding. In the event that we are unable to raise additional capital necessary to finance our operations and continue to support our growth initiatives, our business and results of operations would be significantly and adversely affected.

16


Investment in growth. We plan to continue to invest for long-term growth. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase in the foreseeable future as we invest in research and development to enhance our zero-emission electric vehicles and systems; design, develop and manufacture our drivetrain systems and  commercial fleet vehicles and their components; increase our sales and marketing to acquire new customers; and increase our general and administrative functions to support our growing operations. We believe that these investments will contribute to our long-term growth, although they will adversely affect our results of operations in the near term. In addition, the timing of these investments can result in fluctuations in our annual and quarterly operating results.

Zero-emission electric and hybrid drivetrainvehicle experience.Our dealer and service network is not currently completely established, although we do have certain agreements in place. One issue they may have, and we may encounter, is finding appropriately trained technicians with zero-emission electric and hybrid drivetrain systems and electric fleet vehicle experience. Our performance will depend on having a robust dealer and service network, which will require appropriately trained technicians to be successful. Because vehicles that utilize our technology are based on a different technology platform than traditional internal combustion engines, individuals with sufficient training in zero-emission electric and hybrid vehicles may not be available to hire, and we may need to expend significant time and expense training the employees we do hire. If we are not able to attract, assimilate, train or retain additional highly qualified personnel in the future, or do so cost-effectively, our performance would be significantly and adversely affected.

Market growth. We believe the market for all-electric and hybrid solutions for alternative fuel technology, specifically all-electric and hybrid vehicles, will continue to grow as more purchases of new zero-emission vehicles and as more conversions of existing fleet vehicles to zero-emission vehicles are made. However, unless the costs to produce such vehicles decrease dramatically, purchases of our products will continue to depend in large part on financing subsidies from government agencies. We cannot be assured of the continued availability, or the amounts of such assistance to our customers.customers, or our ability to access such funds.

Sales revenue growth from additional products. We seek to add to our product offerings additional zero-emission vehicles of all sizes manufactured by outside OEM partners, to be marketed, sold, warrantied and serviced through our developing distribution and service network, as well as add other ancillary products discussed elsewhere in this report.

Sales revenue growth from additional geographic markets. We believe that growth opportunities for our products exist internationally, as well. Our future performance will depend in part upon the growth of these additional markets. Accordingly, our business and operating results will be significantly affected by our ability to timely enter and effectively address these emerging markets and the speed with which and extent to which demand for our products in these markets grows.

Third-party contractors, suppliers and manufacturers. We rely upon third parties to supply us with raw materials, parts, components and services in adequate quantity in a timely manner and at reasonable prices, quality levels, and volumes acceptable to us. Significant outbreaks of contagious diseases such as COVID-19, and other adverse public health developments, could have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As of April 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 has led to numerous confirmed cases worldwide, including in the Unites States. In addition to those who have been directly affected, millions more have been affected by governmental efforts around the world to slow the spread of the outbreak. Accordingly, our future performance will depend in part upon our ability to respond and adapt to unexpected legal and regulatory changes resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, such as shelter-in-place orders, travel, social distancing and quarantine policies, boycotts, curtailment of trade, and other business restrictions affecting our ability to assemble and sell our products, and provide our services.

COVID-19 pandemic. Our ability to respond and adapt to unexpected legal and regulatory changes resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, such as shelter-in-place orders, travel, social distancing and quarantine policies, boycotts, curtailment of trade, and other business restrictions affecting our ability to assemble and sell our products, and provide our services. In May 2020, we were awarded both an EIDL and a PPP loan, both administered by the SBA, as provided for under the CARES Act, and discussed in Note 5 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

We account for income taxes in accordance with FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under FASB ASC Topic 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that we will not realize tax assets through future operations. Because we have incurred only losses to this point, no provision for income taxes has been made.

Results of Operations

The following discussion compares operating data for the three and six months ended June 30, 20192020 to the corresponding periods ended June 30, 2018:2019:

Sales

Sales, which were severely impacted by the HVIP-created administrative delays that effectively denied us access to funding, were $129,590 and $4.4 million and $744,450 for the three months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively, and $4.8 million$413,047 and $1.2$4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. Sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 20192020 consisted of products and servicescargo vans sold to SnowCap Community Charities in June and to the City of Orlando Florida in January,  fees due us relating to the Blue Bird Corporationtermination agreement, as discussed in Note 2 to

Effective as of May 30, 2019, the three-year supply agreement we entered into with EDI, a subsidiary of Cummins, in October 2017, pursuant to which EDI agreed to build for us, on an exclusive basis, zero-emission electric drivetrain systems for sale to Blue Bird Corporation for installation in its Type C and D school bus product lines, was terminated by Cummins. In light of the termination of the supply agreement with EDI, the Company and Blue Bird Corporation mutually agreed to terminate the Company’s supply agreement with Blue Bird Corporation, effective as of May 31, 2019, and, as a result, the Company’s participation in the DOE grant ended on May 31, 2019.inspection services provided.

Cost of Sales

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $1.5approximately $1.1 million and $3.9$1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 20192020 and June 30, 2018, respectively.2019. This $2.4 million decrease was primarily relateddue to a $2.5 million decreasedecreases in non-cash stock-based compensation expense, in 2019 related to items previously disclosed in 2018. This decrease was partially offset by increases in legal and professional fees, and insuranceinvestor relations expenses.  The second quarter 2019 generalGeneral and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 include approximately $301,000$158,267 in non-cash charges, including $275,000$100,000 in bad debt expense, and $46,093 in stock-based compensation expense.expense.

This $4.9 million decrease was primarily related to a $5.2 million decreasedecreases in non-cash stock-based compensation expense in 2019 related to items previously disclosed in 2018. This decrease was partially offset by increases in legal, professional and insuranceinvestor relations expenses.

Consulting Expenses

Consulting expenses were $77,491$57,995 and $47,817$77,491 for the three months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively, and $154,128$101,698 and $94,998$154,128 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These decreases are primarily a result of the absence of grant application and 2018, respectively. This increase is duetax credit consulting expenses incurred in 2019 that were not incurred in 2020.  Consulting expenses include non-cash charges of $40,750 and $25,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively (see Note 6 to an increaseour unaudited consolidated financial statements included in sales and marketing consulting-related activity in the current-year period.this Quarterly Report).

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses were $102,656$0 and $440,433$102,656 for the three months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively, and $147,656$0 and $596,367$147,656 for the six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. These decreases are primarily dueattributable to the timing of certain supply chain expenditures  for research and development activity. in 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

From our incorporation in 2012 until the completion of our offerings of common stock under Regulation A in June 2017 and units in January 2018, we financed our operations and capital expenditures through issuing equity capital, convertible notes and notes payable.

As of June 30, 2019,2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2.8 million, and short-term liquid marketable securities of $5.1 million.$883,949. We do not believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to fund our operations during the next eighteen months unless we are able to resolve the HVIP funding issues discussed above in the near-term or we are able to mitigate the impact of certain anti-dilution and other rights contained in our outstanding warrants that have, to date, restricted our ability to raise additional debt or equity capital on terms that are acceptable to us. Such determination that our present capital resources will likely not be sufficient to fund our planned operations for the next 12eighteen months and beyond. However, iffollowing the date of this Quarterly Report raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

In the event we do notare unable to resolve the HVIP funding issues in the near-term and successfully execute our business plan, we maywill likely need additional capital to continue our operations and support the increased working capital requirements associated with the fulfillment of purchase orders. As

The sale of June 30, 2019,additional equity securities in the future could result in additional dilution to our stockholders and those securities may have rights senior to those of our common stock. In particular, the warrants issued and sold in our January 2018 public offering include anti-dilution rights, which provide that if, at any time the warrants are

19


outstanding, we hadissue or are deemed to have issued any shares of common stock or securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock (except for certain exempt issuances, including the issuance of certain stock options, shares of common stock upon the exercise of securities outstanding prior to January 2018 and securities issued in connection with certain acquisitions or strategic transactions) for consideration less than the then current exercise price of the warrants, which is currently $4.50 per share and subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms thereof, the exercise price of such warrants is automatically reduced to the price per share of such new issuance. Further, simultaneously with any adjustment to the exercise price of such warrants, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise of such warrants will be increased or decreased proportionately, such that after such adjustment the aggregate exercise price payable thereunder for the adjusted number of shares of common stock underlying such warrants will be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. To the extent that we issue or are or deemed to have issued securities for consideration that is substantially less than the exercise price of the warrants issued in our January 2018 public offering, holders of our common stock will experience dilution, which may be substantial and which could lower the market price of our securities. Further, the potential application of such anti-dilution rights has, to date, restricted our ability to obtain additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us. In the event that we are unable to mitigate the impact of such anti-dilution rights and raise additional capital to finance our operations and continue to support our growth initiatives, we may not be able to continue as a backloggoing concern and may be forced to curtail all of 3 zero-emission electric school buses, 38 drivetrain systemsour activities and, related battery packsultimately, cease our operations.

In May 2020, we were awarded both an EIDL and spare parts, 4 zero-emission cargo vansa PPP loan, both administered by the SBA, as provided for under the CARES Act (see Note 5 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report). The incurrence of additional indebtedness in the future would result in increased debt service obligations and 10 e-trikes, which consistscould result in operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Such capital, if required, may not be available on terms that are favorable to us or at all.

Follow-On Public Offering

On January 9, 2018, we completed a public offering of 3,666,667 units for net proceeds, after deducting commissions, expenses, and fees of approximately $1.2 million, of approximately $9.8 million. Each unit sold in the offering consisted of one share of our common stock and a warrant to purchase 1.5 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.50.

Options to Purchase Common Stock

As of June 30, 2019,2020, we had outstanding options to purchase 25,617,33813,904,436 shares of common stock, net of exercises, cancellations, and forfeitures, as discussed below. As of June 30, 2019, 9,735,2912020, 10,935,545 shares of common stock were issuable upon the exercise of options vested at such date. Options to purchase 9,527,4818,204,436 were issuable upon exercise at a price of $0.10 per share, none were issuable upon exercise at a price of $0.12 per share, 400,999 were issuable upon exercise at a price of $0.45 per share, 1,000,000 were issuable upon exercise at a price of $0.50 per share, 1,000,000 were issuable upon exercise at a price of $1.00 per share, and 207,810330,109 were issuable upon exercise at a price of $1.31 per share. If all vested options to purchase common stock were exercised, we would receive proceeds of $1,224,979approximately $2.9 million and we would be

Credit Facilities

Effective May 2, 2018, wethe Company secured a line of credit from Morgan Stanley.Stanley Private Bank, National Association (“Morgan Stanley”). Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 2.0%. There is no maturity date for the line, but Morgan Stanley may at any time, in its sole discretion and without cause, demand that wethe Company immediately repay any and all outstanding obligations under the line of credit in whole or in part. The line is secured by the cash and cash equivalents maintained by usthe Company in ourits Morgan Stanley accounts, which was approximately $7.7$7.1 million at June 30, 2019, and borrowingsas of December 31, 2019. Borrowings under the line may not exceed 95% of oursuch cash, cash equivalents, and cash equivalent balances, subject to amarketable securities balances. The maximum of $7 million. Such borrowing threshold, however, is subject to changeamount the Company could borrow at Morgan Stanley’s discretionDecember 31, 2019, was approximately $6.6 million, and depends upon the holdings in our accounts, the maturity dates of the securities in the accounts and the credit quality of the underlying insurers.

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities is primarily the result of our operating losses, reduced by the impact of  non-cash expenses, including non-cash stock-based compensation amounts.compensation. These numbers are further impacted by adjustments for non-cash interest expense.

ForNet cash used in operating activities decreased by approximately $1.5 million to approximately $898,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019,2020 compared to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was 2.4due to $1.3 million net cash provided by changes in  asset and consistedliability accounts, reduced by a reduction in  non-cash expenses of approximately $165,000, combined with a decrease in net loss of $2.7 million, non-cash items of $575,894, and a net use from the change in operating assets and liabilities of $246,168. Changes in operating assets and liabilities were due to increases in trade accounts receivable and other current assets of $2.3 million, and decreases in accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities of $148,628, offset by an increase in trade accounts payable of $2.1 million and a decrease in other non-current assets of $35,320.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash used in operating activities was $4.3 million, and consisted of a net loss of $8.3 million, non-cash items of $6.2 million, and a net use from the change in operating assets and liabilities of $2.2 million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities were due to increases in trade accounts receivable and

17


other current assets of $3.3 million, and a decrease in other non-current liabilities of $35,320, offset by increases in trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $867,329, and decreases in inventory and other non-current assets of $245,727.approximately $369,528.

We expect cash used in operating activities to fluctuate significantly in future periods as a result of a number of factors, some of which are outside of our control, including, among others: the success we achieve in generating revenue; the success we have in helping our customers obtain financing to subsidize their purchases of our products; our ability to efficiently develop our dealer and service network; the costs of batteries and other materials utilized to make our products; the extent to which we need to invest additional funds in research and development; and the amount of expense we incur to satisfy future warranty claims.

Investing Activities

Net cash used inprovided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 20192020 increased by $1.1$3.9 million to $1.2approximately $2.8 million, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $67,359$1.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018.2019. The increase in net cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily due to proceeds received from the sale of liquid marketable securities in the amount of approximately $2.8 million, whereas net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 iswas primarily due to the replacement purchase of liquid marketable securities that matured and issuing a note to a third party, whereas net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was due to the acquisitionamount of property and equipment.approximately $1.1 million.

Contractual Obligations

Except as set forth below, during the six months ended June 30, 2019,2020, there were no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments, as described in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to us, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Our management, in consultation with our legal counsel as appropriate, assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against us or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, we, in consultation with our legal counsel, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in our financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not

18


probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

22


Stock-Based Compensation

We measure the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. The fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. The fair value of our common stock was estimated by management based on observations of the cash sales prices of its common shares. Awards granted to directors are treated on the same basis as awards granted to employees.

Fair Value Measurement

The carrying values of our financial instruments, including cash, notes receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement” defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. It also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, and which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

We do not have any assets or liabilities that are required to be measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”)

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for emerging growth companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards, and, therefore, will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. We have chosen to rely on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, as an emerging growth company we are not required to, among other things, (i) being permitted to provide only two years of audited financial statements, in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements, with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure, (ii) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, (iii) not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements, (iv) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation or (v) exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

We will retain our emerging growth company status until the first to occur of: (i) the end of the fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering occurs, (ii) the end of the fiscal year in which our annual revenues exceed $1.07 billion, (iii) the date on which we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during any three-year period or (iv) the date on which we qualify as a “large accelerated filer.”

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. We do not currently face material market risks.

Interest Rate Risk

We are currently subject torisks such as interest rate fluctuation risk in connection with borrowings under our line of credit with Morgan Stanley, which bears interest at variable rates. As of June 30, 2019, the principal amount outstanding under this line of credit was approximately $4.3 million, and the undrawn borrowing availability was $2.7 million. Based on the amounts outstanding under the line of credit at June 30, 2019, a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in 30-day LIBOR would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $430,000. To the extent that we incur additional indebtedness, we may increase our exposure to risk from interest rate fluctuations. We currently do not engage in any interest rate hedging activity and we have no intention to do so in the foreseeable future.

foreign currency exchange risk. Our cash and cash equivalents include cash in readily available checking and money market accounts. These investments are not dependent on interest rate fluctuations that may cause the principal amount of these investments to fluctuate, and we do not expect such fluctuation will have a material impact on our financial conditions.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

If we issue additional debt in the future, we will be subject to interest rate risk. The majority of our expenses are denominated in the U.S. dollar.

As we continue our commercialization efforts internationally, we may generate revenue and incur expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, a majority of which we expect to be denominated in Chinese Yuan. As a result, if and when the operations of ADOMANI China, our wholly owned subsidiary organized under the laws of China, expand in the future, our revenue may be significantly impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We may face risks associated with the costs of raw materials, primarily batteries, if and whenas we entergo into production. To the extent these and other risks materialize, they could have a material effect on our operating results or financial condition. We currently anticipate that our international selling, marketing and administrative costs related to foreign sales will be largely denominated in the same foreign currency, which may mitigate our foreign currency exchange risk exposure.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (a) were effective to ensure that information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submitssubmit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (b) include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 20192020 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Similarly, an evaluation of controls cannot provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Except as set forth below, we know of no material, existing or pending, legal proceedings against our Company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

On August 2, 2018, Edward R. Monfort, our former Chief Technology Officer and former director, filed a complaint, captioned Edward R. Monfort v. ADOMANI, Inc., et al., Case No.: 18CV332757, in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Santa Clara, against us and certain of our executive officers, alleging that we and the other defendants (i) breached the terms of certain common stock subscription agreements to which Mr. Monfort is a party, (ii) fraudulently deprived Mr. Monfort of certain purported equity in the Company and (iii) fraudulently induced Mr. Monfort to execute a release of claims in connection with his June 2016 employment agreement. Mr. Monfort seeks unspecified monetary damages, declaratory relief regarding the extent of his equity ownership in the Company and other relief. On August 24, 2018, we filed a notice of removal pursuant to which we removed the case to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. On September 24, 2018, Mr. Monfort filed a motion for remand, seeking to remand the proceeding from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California back to the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Santa Clara. On January 8, 2019, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California denied the motion for remand. On February 7, 2019, we answered Mr. Monfort’s complaint and filed counterclaims against Mr. Monfort alleging counterclaims for: (i) breach of contract; (ii) declaratory judgment; (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; (iv) wrongful dilution; and (v) conversion. On March 26, 2019, Mr. Monfort filed an amended complaint, which was substantially similar, but which added as an additional defendant Dennis R. Di Ricco and corrected certain non-substantive typographical errors. We filed a substantially similar answer with the same counterclaims and, pursuant to a contractual indemnification arrangement, we have assumed the Defense of Mr. Di Ricco. We believe that Mr. Monfort’s lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.

On August 23, 2018, a purported class action lawsuit captioned M.D. Ariful Mollik v. ADOMANI, Inc. et al., Case No. RIC 1817493, was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Riverside against us, certain of our executive officers (together, the “Company Defendants”), Edward R. Monfort, our former Chief Technology Officer and former director, and the two underwriters of our offering of common stock under Regulation A in June 2017. This complaint alleges that documents related to our offering of common stock under Regulation A in June 2017 contained materially false and misleading statements and that all defendants violated Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and that we and the individual defendants violated Section 15 of the Securities Act, in connection therewith. The plaintiff seeks on behalf of himself and all class members: (i) certification of a class under California substantive law and procedure; (ii) compensatory damages and interest in an amount to be proven at trial; (iii) reasonable costs and expenses incurred in this action, including counsel fees and expert fees; (iv) awarding of rescission or rescissionary damages; and (v) equitable relief at the discretion of the Court. On November 9, 2018, in response to a demurrer filed by defendant Network 1 Financial Securities, PlaintiffPlaintiff’s counsel has subsequently filed a first amended complaint, which was substantially similar to the original complaint but refined certain allegations regarding the alleged material omissions that form the basis of the complaint. Defendants demurred to the first amended complaint. The court heard defendants’ demurrers to the first amended complaint on January 30, 2019. At this hearing the court granted plaintiff leave to file a second amended complaint. Plaintiff filed a second amended complaint, on January 31, 2019. The secondand a third amended complaint. Plaintiff Mollik was replaced by putative class representatives Alan K. Brooks and Electric Drivetrains, LLC. Alan K. Brooks was subsequently dropped as a putative class representative.

On October 25, 2019, we answered the third amended complaint, attempts to substitute in two putative class plaintiffs. Defendants jointly demurredgenerally denying the allegations and asserting affirmative defenses. On November 5, 2019, Network 1 and Boustead Securities (together the “Underwriters”) filed a cross-complaint against the Company seeking indemnification under the terms of the underwriting agreement the Company and the Underwriters entered for the Company’s initial public offering (the “Underwriting Agreement”). On December 10, 2019, the Company filed its answer to the secondUnderwriters’ cross-complaint, generally denying the allegations and asserting affirmative defenses. Also on this date, the Company filed a cross-complaint against the Underwriters seeking indemnification under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. On January 14, 2020, Mr. Monfort filed a cross-complaint against the Underwriters seeking indemnification under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. On January 15, 2020, Mr. Monfort filed a cross-complaint against the Company seeking indemnification under the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws and Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. On February 18, 2020 we filed an answer to Mr. Monfort’s cross-complaint, generally denying the allegations and asserting affirmative defenses.

On April 6, 2020, the Company Defendants, Mr. Monfort, and Plaintiff Electric Drivetrains engaged in mediation. The Underwriters declined to participate in the mediation. The mediation did not result in settlement. On April 16, 2020, Electric Drivetrains requested that defendants stipulate to Electric Drivetrains’ filing a fourth amended complaint. Defendants declined to stipulate to the fourth amended complaint, leading Electric Drivetrains to file a motion to amend the complaint. A hearing on March 4, 2019. On May 7, 2019, the Court held a hearing and tentatively issued a ruling indicating that the Second Amended Complaint should be dismissed, without prejudice. A subsequent written order confirmed the dismissal, without prejudice. On June 29, 2019, Plaintiffs filed their Third Amended Complaint, seeking to address the issues raised in the Court’s oral ruling. Defendants will be filing a Joint demurrer on July 29, 2019,this motion and a hearing on that demurrer is scheduledstatus conference are set for August 29, 2019.12, 2020. We believe that the purported class action lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.

On June 19, 2019, Alan K. Brooks, an ADOMANI investor, filed a complaint, captioned Alan K. Brooks v. ADOMANI, Inc., et al., Case No. 1-CV-349153 in the Superior Court of California for the County of Santa Clara, against the Company, certain of the Company’s executive officers and directors, one of the underwriters (the “Underwriter”) of the Company’s offering of common stock under Regulation A in June 2017, and certain of the Underwriter’s personnel, among others. The complaint alleges that the Company and other defendants breached the terms of an agreement between Mr. Brooks and the Company by refusing to release 1,320,359 shares of ADOMANI, Inc. stock to Mr. Brooks. Mr. Brooks seeks damages of $13,500,000.00 plus interest and attorney’s fees. On September 20, 2019, Mr. Brooks filed his first amended complaint (“FAC”) reasserting his breach of contract claim and alleging five additional claims for (i) violations of Cal. Corp. Code Section 25401, (ii) fraud, (iii) negligent misrepresentation, (iv) elder abuse, and (v) unfair competition. We answered the FAC on November 12, 2019, generally denying the allegations in the FAC and asserting affirmative defenses. On January 9, 2020, the Underwriter filed a notice of related case, notifying the court of Mollik v. ADOMANI, et al., described above. On January 31, 2020, the Underwriter filed a motion to stay proceedings. The court heard the motion to stay on May 21, 2020 and took the matter under submission. The court subsequently issued a written order denying the motion to stay. A case management conference is scheduled in this matter for September 15, 2020. We believe that the lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.

On April 13, 2020, the Company filed a complaint against Ebus, Inc., Anders B. Eklov and Carol J. Eklov, Case No. 20ST-CV14275, in the Superior Court of California for the County of Los Angeles seeking to recover the remainder of the assets acquired by the Company through a credit bid in the amount of $582,000 at a foreclosure sale initiated by the Company following Ebus’s default in its obligations to the Company under a related promissory note. The complaint, among other things, seeks possession of the remainder of the assets and alleges that Ebus and the other defendants improperly converted or used certain of the assets. The Company continues to vigorously pursue such action and continues to evaluate several paths to obtaining the remaining assets that were purchased from Ebus at the foreclosure sale.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except as set forth below, there were no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, as filed with the SEC on February 19, 2019.March 10, 2020.

NASDAQBusiness interruptions resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak or similar public health crises could cause a disruption of the manufacturing of our products and adversely impact our business.

Public health crises such as pandemics or similar outbreaks could adversely impact our business. In December 2019, a novel strain of a virus named SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), or coronavirus, which causes coronavirus disease, or COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, and has reached multiple other regions and countries, including the United States and, more specifically, Southern California, where our primary office is located. The coronavirus pandemic is evolving, and to date has led to the implementation of various responses, including government-imposed quarantines, travel restrictions and other public health safety measures. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could result in social, economic and labor instability in the countries in which we or the third parties with whom we engage operate. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations or those of our third party partners will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the outbreak, new information that may delistemerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any of the third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, customers and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were to experience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our common stock from trading on its exchange, which could limit stockholders’ ability to tradeconduct our common stock.business in the manner presently planned could be materially and negatively impacted. The future progression of the COVID-19 outbreak and its resulting effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations are uncertain and are continuing to be assessed.

AsThere is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a listed company on NASDAQ,going concern, which will affect our ability to obtain future financing and may require us to curtail our operations.

Our consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2020, were prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. At June 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $883,949. We do not believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to fund our operations during the next eighteen months unless we are requiredable to meetresolve the HVIP funding issues in the near-term or we are able to mitigate the impact of certain financial, public float, bid priceanti-dilution and liquidity standardsother rights contained in our outstanding warrants that have, to date, restricted our ability to raise additional debt or equity capital on an ongoing basis in orderterms that are acceptable to us. Accordingly, our ability to continue as a going concern will depend on our ability to mitigate the listingimpact of such anti-dilution rights and raise additional capital to finance our common stock. If we failoperations and continue to meet these continued listing requirements,support our common stock may be subjectgrowth initiatives, attain further operating efficiencies, reduce or contain expenditures, and, ultimately, to delisting. If we fail to meet these continued listing requirements, our common stock may be subject to delisting. As previously reported, on August 16, 2018, we received a letter from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq (“Staff”) notifying us that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for our common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market under Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we were automatically afforded an initial “compliance period” of 180 calendar days following the date of the notification, or until February 12, 2019, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Although we did not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by February 12, 2019, we received a letter from the Staff on February 13, 2019 notifying us that, pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we were eligible for an additional “compliance period” of 180 calendar days, or until August 12, 2019, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Staff’s determination in the February 13, 2019 notification letter was based on us meeting, as of the last day of the initial “compliance period”, the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and our written notice to NASDAQ of our intention to regain compliance by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

At our annual meeting on May 8, 2019, our stockholders voted against authorizing our Board of Directors to implement a reverse stock split. As a result, we could not proceed with that plan to regain compliance with the NASDAQ listing requirements. As of the date of this filing, our stock price remains below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement.generate revenue.

If we do not regain compliance by August 12, 2019,are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets and may receive less than the Staff indicatedvalue at which those assets are carried on our audited consolidated financial statements, and it is likely that itinvestors will lose all or part of their investment. If we seek additional financing to fund our business activities in the future and there remains substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide written notificationadditional funding to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Based on these factors, management determined that our common stock will be delisted. At that time, we may appeal the Staff’s delisting determination to a NASDAQ Hearings Panel (“Panel”). Our common stock would remain listed pending the Panel’s decision. There can be no assurance that, if we do appeal any delisting determination by the Staff to the Panel, that such appeal would be successful. If our common stockthere is delisted and we are not able to listsubstantial doubt about our common stock on another national securities exchange, we expect our securities would be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences, including limited availability of market quotations for our common stock and reduced liquidity for the trading of our securities. In addition, we could experience a decreased ability to issue additional securities and obtain additional financing in the future.continue as a going concern.
