VOLCON, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Organization and Nature of Operations

Volcon, Inc. ("Volcon" or the "Company") was formed on February 21, 2020, as a Delaware corporation, under the name Frog ePowersports, Inc. The Company was renamed Volcon on October 1, 2020. Volcon is a developer and manufacturer of all-electric off road powersport vehicles.

On January 5, 2021, the Company created Volcon ePowersports, LLC, a Colorado wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to sell Volcon vehicles and accessories in the United States.

Going Concern

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has recurring losses and has generated negative cash flows from operations since inception and will need to obtain additional funding in 2022 to continue its operations. Due to these conditions, this raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with loans or the sale of equity. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Impact of COVID-19

The outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease ("COVID-19"), which was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, and the related responses by public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat its outbreak and spread, has severely impacted the U.S. and world economies. Economic recessions, including those brought on by the COVID-19 outbreak, may have a negative effect on the demand for the Company's products and the Company's operating results. The range of possible impacts on the Company's business from the coronavirus pandemic could include: (i) changing demand for the Company's products; (ii) potential disruption to the Company's supply chain and distribution network; and (iii) disruption in the production of the Company's vehicles due to employee illness or government regulations regarding social distancing and workplace requirements.

Impact of Russia and Ukraine Conflict


On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine could impact the availability of nickel, an element used in the production of lithium ion cells used in batteries that power our vehicles. The shortage of these cells could have an impact on our ability to produce vehicles to meet our customers' demands. In addition, sanctions against Russia could impact the price of elements, including nickel, that are used in the production of batteries which would result in higher costs to produce our vehicles. These sanctions have also impacted the U.S. and global economy and could result in an economic recession which could cause a broader disruption to the Company's supply chain and distribution network and customer demand for our products.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Interim Unaudited Financial Information

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 23, 2022. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted from this report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Results for the interim periods in this report are not necessarily indicative of future financial results and have not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly our interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and consistent with the adjustments recorded to prepare the annual audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Stock Dividend

On July 27, 2021, the board of directors approved a common stock dividend of 1.5 shares for each share of common stock. The Company has accounted for this as a stock split since all common stock shares, warrants, options and restricted stock unit amounts and common stock per share amounts have been adjusted for this stock dividend. All periods presented have been adjusted to reflect this stock dividend. As a result of the stock dividend, Series A and Series B preferred stock converted at a ratio of 2.5 common shares for each preferred share outstanding upon completion of the Company's initial public offering completed in October 2021.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods.

Making estimates requires management to exercise judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. The recorded value of our cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value. Restricted cash includes cash equivalents restricted as collateral for the Company's corporate credit cards with a bank. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2022 is $4,720,750and restricted cash was $236,250. There was norestricted cash as of December 31, 2021.

10

Revenue Recognition

For sales directly to consumers, revenue is recognized when the Company transfers control of the product to the customer and the 14-day acceptance period has expired, or earlier acceptance has been received from the customer. For sales to dealers or distributors revenue is recognized when transfer of control of the product is made as there is no acceptance period or right of return. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring control of vehicles, parts, and accessories. Consideration that is received in advance of the transfer of goods is recorded as customer deposits until delivery has occurred or the customer cancels their order and the consideration is returned to the customer. Sales and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The Company's sales do not have a financing component.

Sales promotions and incentives. The Company provides for estimated sales promotions and incentives, which are recognized as a component of sales in measuring the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Examples of sales promotion and incentive programs include distributor fees, dealer co-op advertising and volume incentives. Sales promotions and incentives are estimated based on contractual requirements. The Company records these amounts as a liability in the balance sheet until they are ultimately paid. Adjustments to sales promotions and incentives accruals are made as actual usage becomes known to properly estimate the amounts necessary to generate consumer demand based on market conditions as of the balance sheet date.

Shipping and handling charges and costs. The Company records shipping and handling charged to the customer and related shipping costs as a component of cost of sales when control has transferred to the customer.

Product Warranties

The Company provides a one-year warranty on vehicles, and a two-year warranty on the battery pack. The Company accrues warranty reserves at the time revenue is recognized. Warranty reserves include the Company's best estimate of the projected cost to repair or to replace any items under warranty, based on actual warranty experience as it becomes available and other known factors that may impact the evaluation of historical data. The Company reviews its reserves quarterly to ensure that the accruals are adequate to meet expected future warranty obligations and will adjust estimates as needed. Factors that could have an impact on the warranty reserve include the following: changes in manufacturing quality, shifts in product mix, changes in warranty coverage periods, product recalls and changes in sales volume. Warranty expense is recorded as a component of cost of goods sold in the statement of operations and is recognized as a current liability.

Inventory and Inventory Deposits

The Company purchases parts and assembles the Grunt in a leased facility. Raw materials inventory costs include the cost of parts, including duties, tariffs and shipping. Work in process and finished goods include the cost of parts, labor and manufacturing overhead costs associated with the assembly of the vehicle. Finished goods also include accessories for the vehicle and branded merchandise such as hats and shirts.

Certain vendors require the Company to pay an upfront deposit before they will manufacture and ship our parts or accessories. These payments are classified as inventory deposits in the balance sheet until title and risk of loss transfers to the Company, at which time they are classified as inventory.

Inventories and inventory deposits are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value.

11

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are valued at cost. Additions are capitalized and maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Category Estimated
Useful Lives
Machinery, tooling and equipment 3-7years
Vehicles 5years
Internal use manufactured vehicles 1year
Furniture & Fixtures 5years
Computers 3years

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter period of their estimated useful life or term of the lease.

Intangible Assets


Intangible assets include acquired domain names and software. Domain names are amortized over 15 years and software is amortized over the life of the shorter of the software term or three years.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company's long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical carrying cost value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the asset by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the asset to the carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flows of the asset, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived asset.

Leases

Right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company does not separate non-lease components from the lease components to which they relate, and instead accounts for each separate lease and non-lease component associated with that lease component as a single lease component.

ASC 842 defines initial direct costs as only the incremental costs of signing a lease. Initial direct costs related to leasing that are not incremental are expensed as general and administrative expenses in our statements of operations.

The Company's operating lease agreements primarily consist of leased real estate and are included within ROU assets - operating leases and ROU lease liabilities - operating leases on the balance sheets. The Company's lease agreements may include options to extend the lease, which are not included in minimum lease payments unless they are reasonably certain to be exercised at lease commencement. The Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

12

Research and Development Expenses

The Company records research and development expenses in the period in which they are incurred as a component of product development expenses.

Income Taxes

Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the "asset and liability" method, whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, when it's more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as current or non-current based on the underlying asset or liability or if not directly related to an asset or liability based on the expected reversal dates of the specific temporary differences.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company discloses fair value measurements for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The accounting standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a stock-based incentive award plan for employees, consultants and directors. The Company measures stock-based compensation at the estimated fair value on the grant date and recognizes the amortization of stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, or when it is probable criteria will be achieved for performance-based awards. Fair value is determined based on assumptions related to the fair value of the Company common stock, stock volatility and risk-free rate of return. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures when realized.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. The Company does not believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company subleased warehouse and office space on a month to month basis from a company owned by a consultant who was also the Company's former Chief Operating Officer and his spouse. Monthly rent was $11,120 and the Company could cancel the lease with a 90-day cancellation notice. In May 2021, the consultant became a salaried employee of the Company, however, in December 2021, the employee resigned from the Company. As of December 31, 2021, the Company continued to rent the warehouse and office space under the same terms.

In January 2022, the Company executed a lease assignment with the ultimate landlord of this facility. The lease will expire on December 31, 2023and the monthly lease payment is approximately $9,800. The Company paid the former Chief Operating Officer $15,317to reimburse him for the security deposit on the lease of $9,453plus $5,864for leasehold improvements and equipment he installed in the facility. Total expense recognized to this related party for this lease for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was zeroand $11,120, respectively, and $33,360for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. See further discussion of the termination of this lease effective September 2022 in Note 11 below.

In November 2020, the Company entered into an operating lease with an entity controlled by the Company's two founders for its future headquarters and production facility in Liberty Hill, Texas. The lease had a lease term of 5 years, and monthly payments ranging from approximately $15,000 per month to $17,000 per month over the lease term and gave the Company access to the land for use in testing its vehicles prior to the construction of any facilities. In February 2021, the Company entered into an amendment of the lease related to its future headquarters to expand the leased premises. The Company paid an additional security deposit of $139,230and additional prepaid rent of $315,588. The total minimum lease payments under the amended lease totaled approximately $3,930,170.

In October 2021, the Company began discussions for an additional amendment to the lease, in anticipation of manufacturing the Stag at this location, which would result in the monthly payment increasing to $100,000 for the first year of the lease and increasing annually throughout the term of the lease to $107,000 in the final year. Monthly payments for the initial lease and the amended agreement would begin at the time a certificate of occupancy is received by the landlord.

The Company evaluated the cost of this facility in relation to other lower cost options, including having a third-party manufacture the Stag, and determined that it would be in the best interest of the Company to terminate this agreement. On April 27, 2022, the Company informed the landlord that we would be terminating the lease. On May 27, 2022, the landlord notified the Company that the landlord would refund $85,756 of the prepaid rent and security deposit balance of $601,818 paid by the Company. This refund would be paid to the Company once the landlord has sold the land and the landlord will release the Company from any remaining obligations under the lease and amendment. The unrefunded portion of the prepaid rent and security deposit relates to some survey, architecture and construction design costs which were incurred by the landlord prior to the Company terminating the lease. The Company has recognized a loss on the termination of this lease of $247,525for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022.

Total amortization expense for the right of use asset recorded for the initial lease for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $12,342and $49,367, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $37,025and $74,051, respectively.

In June 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with a company controlled by the Company's Chairman and founding stockholder to lease office space for $2,000 per month for a period of one year. Total expense recorded for this lease for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $6,000and $12,000, respectively. In May 2022 the Company informed the landlord that it will terminate this lease and the landlord has confirmed that the lease will terminate effective September 1, 2022.

For the purposes of the consulting agreements, "Fundamental Transaction" means any of the following: (i) a consolidation or merger involving the Company if the holders of the voting securities of the Company that are outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such consolidation or merger do not, immediately after the consummation of such consolidation or merger, hold voting securities that collectively possess at least a majority of the voting power of all the outstanding securities of the surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or such surviving entity's parent entity; (ii) a transfer or issuance (in a single transaction or series of related transactions) by one or more of the Company and its stockholders to one person or to any group of persons acting in concert, of shares of the Company's capital stock then collectively possessing 50% or more of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of the Company's capital stock (computed on an as-converted to common stock basis); or (iii) any sale, license, lease, assignment or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. Furthermore, commencing upon the completion of the Company's initial public offering of the shares of our common stock, if the Company's market capitalization exceeds $300.0million for a period of 21 consecutive trading days, each of the entities will receive an additional cash payment equal to $15.0 million; provided that the Company will have the right, in its sole discretion, to make the foregoing $15.0 million payment by the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock. The foregoing amounts will be payable to the entities if the above milestones occur any time prior to the ten-year anniversary of original consulting agreements, or August 28, 2030.

NOTE 9 - LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

The basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the year. The diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of common shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Common shares consisting of common stock warrants, stock options and restricted stock units totaling 7,724,030shares as of June 30, 2022 were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share due to their antidilutive effect. Common shares consisting of common stock warrants, stock options and restricted stock units totaling 13,289,237and Series A and Series B preferred stock of 1,191,38and 1,105,827, respectively, convertible into 5,743,036shares of common stock as of June 30, 2021 and any potential shares issuable under the anti-dilution warrants discussed above were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share due to their antidilutive effect.

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES

Deferred taxes are determined by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws and rates for the jurisdictions in which the Company operates to the estimated future tax effects of the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the Company's financial statements. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be realized.

Due to losses since inception and for all periods presented, no income tax benefit or expense has been recognized as a full valuation allowance has been established for any tax benefit that would have been recognized for the loss in any period presented.

22

Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are as follows:

Management currently believes that since the Company has a history of losses it is more likely than not that the deferred tax regarding the loss carry forwards and other temporary differences will not be realized in the foreseeable future. The Company believes that carryforward limitations will be applied to the historical net operating losses due to the recent change of control transition. The Company's cumulative net operating loss carry forward of approximately $39,842,783as of June 30, 2022, may be limited in future years depending on future taxable income in any given fiscal year. The net operating losses can be carried forward indefinitely.

The Company has recorded no liability for income taxes associated with unrecognized tax benefits at the date of adoption and has not recorded any liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any interest or penalty in regard to any unrecognized benefit.

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

The following discussion and analysis is intended as a review of significant factors affecting the Company's financial condition and results of operations for the periods indicated. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains audited financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any future period.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on form 10-Q, together with other statements and information publicly disseminated by the Company, contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and include this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions.

In addition, from time to time, we or our representatives may make forward-looking statements orally or in writing. We base these forward-looking statements on our expectations and projections about future events, which we derive from the information currently available to us. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future performance, including: our financial performance and projections; our growth in revenue and earnings; and our business prospects and opportunities. You can identify forward-looking statements by those that are not historical in nature, particularly those that use terminology such as "may," "should," "expects," "anticipates," "contemplates," "estimates," "believes," "plans," "projected," "predicts," "potential," or "hopes" or the negative of these or similar terms. In evaluating these forward-looking statements, you should consider various factors, including: our ability to change the direction of the Company; our ability to keep pace with new technology and changing market needs; our capital needs, and the competitive environment of our business. These and other factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements are only predictions. The forward-looking events discussed in this document and other statements made from time to time by us or our representatives, may not occur, and actual events and results may differ materially and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us. We are not obligated to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this document and other statements made from time to time by us or our representatives might not occur.

While we believe we have identified material risks, these risks and uncertainties are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Form 10-Q describe additional factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this Form 10-Q to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations, and we do not intend to do so.

26

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

· our ability to obtain additional funding to produce, market and sell our vehicles and develop new products;
· our ability to produce our vehicles with sufficient scale and quality to satisfy customers;
· anticipated timing for the design, production and launch of our vehicles;
· the inability of our suppliers to deliver the necessary components for our vehicles at prices and volumes acceptable to us;

Overview

We are an all-electric, off-road powersports vehicle company developing and manufacturing electric two and four-wheel motorcycles and utility terrain vehicles ("UTVs"), also known as side-by-sides. In October 2020, we launched our offerings with two off-road motorcycles - the Grunt and the Runt. We initially began taking orders on our website for these initial offerings and began delivering the Grunts in the third quarter of 2021. We terminated our direct-to-consumer sales platform as of November 24, 2021, and as of that date, U.S. customers made deposits for 360 Grunts (net of cancellations), plus accessories and a delivery fee representing total deposits of $2.2 million. These orders are cancelable by the customer until the vehicle is delivered and after a 14-day acceptance period, therefore the deposits have been recorded as deferred revenue. As of June 30, 2022, we have shipped all direct to consumer orders and all revenue related to these sales has been recognized.

Beginning in November 2021, we began negotiating dealership agreements with retail partners to display and sell our vehicles and accessories. Customers will be able to buy our vehicles and accessories directly from a local dealership. Some of these retail partners will also provide warranty and repair services to our customers. Through June 30, 2022, we have entered into over 100 dealership agreements. We began shipping Grunts to dealers in May 2022.

We recognized revenues on 408 and 594 Grunts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

We are assembling the Grunt in a leased production facility in Round Rock, Texas.

We are evaluating potential suppliers to manufacture the 2023 Runt, a smaller version of the Grunt, and as of June 30, 2022 we are completing the final design and manufacturing specifications. We expect to begin selling the Runt in the second quarter of 2023.

We are designing an upgraded Grunt, the 2023 Grunt EVO, that will have a belt drive rather than a chain drive, an upgraded rear suspension, including a new shock, a new seat and will be available in additional colors and have aftermarket accessory upgrades such as handlebars, grips, foot pegs and seats. We expect the Grunt EVO to be available beginning in the first quarter of 2023.

27

In the fourth quarter of 2022, we expect to begin selling the 2023 Volcon Brat E-Bike which will be manufactured by a third party.

In December 2021 we received the first prototype of the Volcon Stag LE, and we publicly introduced a prototype of the Stag LE on July 1, 2022. We expect to deliver the first Stag model to customers beginning in the first half of 2023. We expect the Stag LE to be followed by the introduction of other models of the Stag in 2024 and a higher performance, longer range UTV (to be named) which we expect to be available for sale in 2025.

We signed a lease for a dedicated, built-to-suit manufacturing facility on 53 acres in Liberty Hill, Texas, 25 miles northwest of downtown Austin from an entity controlled by our founders. An amendment to the lease that provided for additional tenant improvements and access to an additional 17 acres of land was proposed in October 2021.

The Company evaluated the cost of this facility in relation to other lower cost options and determined that it would be in the best interest of the Company to terminate this agreement. The Company notified the landlord on April 27, 2022 that it would be terminating the lease. On May 27, 2022, the landlord notified the Company that the landlord would refund $85,756 of the prepaid rent and security deposit balance of $601,818 paid by the Company. This refund will be paid to the Company once the landlord has sold the land and the landlord will release the Company from any remaining obligations under the lease and amendment. The unrefunded portion of the prepaid rent and security deposit relates to some of the survey, architecture and construction design costs which were incurred by the landlord prior to the Company terminating the lease.

We plan to sell our vehicles and accessories globally in a three-phase rollout of export sales- Latin America importers starting in 2022, Canada and Europe expected in 2022 and Australia expected in 2023, subject to homologation requirements of each country, if any. Export sales are executed through individual importers in each country that buy vehicles by the container. Each importer will sell vehicles to local dealers or directly to customers. Local dealers will provide warranty and repair services for vehicles purchased in their country. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized revenue on 63 and 70 Grunts shipped to Latin America importers, respectively.

There was no revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as the Company was still developing the Grunt as of June 30, 2021.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2022 include labor costs of $678,809 for employees and contractors performing assembly and quality control testing of Grunts and stock-based compensation of $55,372 for share-based awards for employees. Part costs for Grunts sold during the period was $4,106,542, which includes an adjustment of $615,682 to reduce inventory to its net realizable value and other inventory adjustments of $427,694. Facilities costs were $167,639 for our manufacturing facility and inventory warehousing costs. Shipping costs and duties/tariffs for inventory purchases and shipments to customers were $350,259.

There were no cost of goods sold for the three or six months ended June 30, 2021 as there were no production or sales in these periods.

In the next 6 to 9 months we could experience manufacturing delays due to shipping constraints in our supply chain. We expect cost of goods sold to increase as we sell higher quantities of Grunts and begin selling the Brat in the fourth quarter of 2022. We expect the cost per Grunt to decrease as we gain efficiencies in the manufacturing process and the cost of some parts are reduced as we source them from additional suppliers.

Cash provided from financing activities for the period ended June 30, 2022, was $18.1 million and was related to proceeds received from the public offering of our common stock in February 2022 where we sold 6,666,667 shares at $3.00 per share.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. In January 2021, we completed a WeFunder SAFE offering which was convertible into preferred stock upon future financing events. We received gross proceeds of $2.3 million and paid expenses of $0.1 million. In February 2021, we completed an offering of our Series A preferred stock. We received gross proceeds of $2.7 million and issued 415,287 shares of Series A preferred stock. We paid commissions and expenses of $0.2 million and issued 79,750 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 79,750 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $2.57 to placement agents in connection with the offering. This equity financing resulted in the SAFE investments of $2.0 million as of December 31, 2020, converting into 424,269 shares of Series A preferred stock and the WeFunder SAFE investments converting into 351,832 shares of Series A preferred stock. In March 2021, we sold 457,688 shares of Series B preferred stock at $9.50 per share resulting in gross proceeds of $4.2 million. We paid commissions and expenses of $0.1 million.

Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain continued financial support from our stockholders, necessary equity financing to continue operations and the attainment of profitable operations. As of June 30, 2022, we had incurred an accumulated deficit of $60 million since inception. Additionally, management anticipates that our cash on hand as of June 30, 2022, is insufficient to fund planned operations, including the development of our vehicles, beyond one year from the date of the issuance of the financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

JOBS Act Accounting Election

The recently enacted JOBS Act provides that an "emerging growth company" can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an "emerging growth company" can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this extended transition period and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies.

We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and may impact our financial statements and we do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

No critical accounting policies or estimates existed as of June 30, 2022.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the appropriate time periods, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure. We, under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2022 to provide assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures. Notwithstanding this conclusion, we believe that our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods covered thereby in all material respects. Management is working to identify corrective actions for the weakness and will periodically re-evaluate the need to add personnel and implement improved review procedures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended June 30, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time in the ordinary course of our business, we may be involved in legal proceedings, the outcomes of which may not be determinable. The results of litigation are inherently unpredictable. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in diversion of significant resources. We are not able to estimate an aggregate amount or range of reasonably possible losses for those legal matters for which losses are not probable and estimable. We have insurance policies covering potential losses where such coverage is cost effective.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 23, 2022 and our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on May 12, 2022, which is accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov except for the following:

We have determined that we will not proceed with completing a lease for a new facility from an entity controlled by our founders, and this arrangement was not conducted on an arm's length basis. If we cannot find a suitable facility or an alternative option to have a third party assemble the Stag our business could be materially and adversely affected

We signed a lease for a dedicated, built-to-suit manufacturing facility on 53 acres in Liberty Hill, Texas from an entity controlled by our founders. In February 2021, we entered into an amendment of the lease to expand the leased premises. We paid an additional security deposit of $139,230 and additional prepaid rent of $315,588. The total minimum lease payments under the amended lease totaled approximately $3,930,170.In October 2021 an amendment to the lease was proposed to increase the tenant improvement allowance and increase the land to approximately 70 acres. We evaluated the cost of this facility in relation to other lower cost options and determined that it would be in the best interest of the Company to terminate this agreement. On April 27, 2022, we informed the landlord that we would be terminating this lease.

On May 27, 2022, the landlord notified the Company that the landlord would refund $85,756 of the prepaid rent and security deposit balance of $601,818 paid by the Company. This refund would be paid to the Company once the landlord has sold the land and the landlord will release the Company from any remaining obligations under the lease and amendment. The unrefunded portion of the prepaid rent and security deposit relates to some survey, architecture and construction design costs which were incurred by the landlord prior to the Company terminating the lease. The Company has recognized a loss on the termination of this lease of $247,525, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022.

The Company is currently evaluating an option to have a third party manufacture the Stag in a third-party's facility as well as evaluating other facilities to manufacture the Stag. If we cannot agree to terms with a third-party manufacturer or find a suitable facility to manufacture the Stag on commercially reasonable terms, our manufacturing capabilities may be impaired. If our manufacturing capabilities are impaired, we may not be able to manufacture and ship the Stag in a timely manner, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.
