Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Going Concern Warning: Management has concluded there is substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months. Current cash and projected funding strategies are deemed insufficient to fund operations without additional capital.
- Debt Maturity: A $20 million Convertible Note matures on August 11, 2025. Failure to service this debt or secure refinancing could lead to default or bankruptcy proceedings.
- Capital Access: The Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (SEPA) with Yorkville has $119.4 million remaining capacity but is currently unavailable until a post-effective amendment to a registration statement is filed and declared effective by the SEC.
- Internal Controls: The company identified material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting related to inventory management, revenue recognition, and IT general controls. Management concluded controls were not effective as of March 31, 2025.
- Operational Delays: Revenue was impacted by delays in executing sales orders for stripped chassis vehicles and supply chain constraints regarding power electronics and harnesses.
