ENVIROTECH VEHICLES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Operations
Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) is a provider of purpose-built zero-emission electric vehicles focused on reducing the total cost of vehicle ownership and helping fleet operators unlock the benefits of green technology. We serve commercial and last-mile fleets, school districts, public and private transportation service companies and colleges and universities to meet the increasing demand for light to heavy-duty electric vehicles. Our vehicles address the challenges of traditional fuel price cost instability and local, state and federal regulatory compliance.
On March 15, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of Envirotech Drive Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“EVTDS”), a supplier of zero-emission trucks, cargo vans, chassis and other commercial vehicles. The transaction was completed in accordance with an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 16, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, EVTDS and EVT Acquisition Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). See Note 3.
The Company was formerly known as ADOMANI, Inc. On May 26, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to change its name from ADOMANI, Inc. to Envirotech Vehicles, Inc., effective as of May 26, 2021.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation —The consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of EVTDS (see Note 3) as of June 30, 2021, which include the consolidated balance sheet accounts of Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. and subsidiaries, and for the fiscal period ended June 30, 2021, which include the consolidated results of operations of EVTDS for the entire six month period and include the consolidated results of operations of Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. and subsidiaries for the post-merger period March 16, 2021 through June 30, 2021, 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 the EVTDS audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on April 22, 2021. The results of operations for the fiscal period ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Principles of Consolidation —The accompanying financial statements reflect the consolidation of the financial statements of EVTDS, its wholly-owned subsidiary Envirotech Drive Systems, Incorporated, and, from March 16, 2021 forward, the financial statements of Envirotech Vehicles, Inc., ADOMANI California, Inc., Adomani (Nantong) Automotive Technology Co. Ltd., ADOMANI ZEV Sales, Inc., 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
5
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 no t have any assets or liabilities that are required to be measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.
Revenue Recognition — The Company recognizes revenue from the sales of zero-emission electric vehicles and vehicle maintenance and inspection services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which requires an entity to 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.
In applying ASC Topic 606, the Company is required to:
(1) Identify any contracts with customers.
(2) Determine if multiple performance obligations exist.
(3) Determine the transaction price.
(4) Allocate the transaction price to the respective obligation; and,
(5) Recognize the revenue as the obligation is satisfied.
Product revenue also includes the sale of electric trucks and cargo vans. These sales represent a single performance obligation with revenue recognition occurring at the time title transfers. Transfer of title occurs when the customer has accepted the vehicle 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 performing basic vehicle maintenance and detailing, as well as safety inspections for 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. At June 30, 2021, the aggregate amount of the Company’s investments in marketable securities was $ 12,010,190 . There were no investments in marketable securities at December 31, 2020.
6
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 $159, 177 and $ 9,000 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Because the trade accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2021 is from credit-worthy customers and because the December 31, 2020 balance was collected subsequent to that date, no allowance has been recorded relative to the trade accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
Inventory and Inventory Valuation Allowance — The Company records inventory at the lower of cost or market, and uses a First In, First Out (“FIFO”) accounting valuation methodology. The Company had finished goods inventory on hand of $ 1,860,320 and zero as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company provided no inventory allowance as of June 30, 2021 other than as discussed in Note 3.
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 $ 2,877,875 and zero as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Income Taxes — The Company uses the liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting purposes.
EVTDS previously recorded deferred tax benefits from net operating losses in current and prior periods. The Company, in light of the uncertainty of generating future taxable income against which those losses can be offset in order to realize such benefits, has determined that recording a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized is appropriate. In making such determinations, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. As of June 30, 2020, EVTDS did not recognize a full valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets. In March 2021, the Company recognized a full valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets, and as a result, recorded income tax expense of $ 218,300 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 in order to establish the reserve. This amount is also an income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
The December 31, 2020 audit report for EVTDS stated that corporate income tax returns for 2017, 2018, and 2019 had not been filed; in fact, they were filed on December 15, 2020. The audit report also stated that corporate income tax returns for 2020 had not been filed; those returns were not due to be filed until May17, 2021, and they were filed in early May, 2021.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes— The Company evaluates its uncertain tax positions and will recognize a loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The amount recognized is subject to estimate and management judgment with respect to the likely outcome of each uncertain tax position. The amount that is ultimately sustained for an individual uncertain tax position or for all uncertain tax positions in the aggregate could differ from the amount recognized. At June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, management did no t identify any uncertain tax positions.
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 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.
7
As of June 30 , 202 1 , 12,398,573 shares of the Company’s common stock were subject to issuance upon the exercise of stock options then outstanding and 29,847,994 shares of the Company’s common stock were subject to issuance upon the exercise of warrants then outstanding .
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 (“FDIC”). Additionally, the Company maintains cash and short-term securities invested at Morgan Stanley Private Bank, National Association (“Morgan Stanley”). Between FDIC and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SPIC”) coverage, funds up to $ 750,000 , which may include cash up to $ 500,000 , are insured. In addition, Morgan Stanley provides excess insurance acquired by them from SPIC for an additional $ 1.9 million in cash and unlimited per customer securities up to a $ 1 billion cap.
The restricted cash reported by EVTDS as of December 31, 2020, combined with additional cash raised in 2021, was used to fund both the merger closing requirement of $ 5,000,000 to ADOMANI, Inc. (see Note 3) and to repay liabilities of EVTDS. The amount of restricted cash and corresponding unpaid current liabilities of EVTDS that is included in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2021 is approximately $ 254,913 .
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, total EVTDS sales were to one customer, ADOMANI, Inc., prior to the merger closing (see Note 3). The customer account was collected within two days of invoicing. In addition, the merged entity recorded additional sales during the two weeks post-merger which were made to two other customers and were collected within weeks of invoicing. The Company sold two vehicles during the last week of the three months ended June 30, 2021, and expects to be paid for them promptly and in full. Accordingly, customer accounts are reported at the invoiced amount outstanding.
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 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Goodwill . Goodwill represents the excess acquisition cost over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, Goodwill is not amortized and is subject to annual impairment testing on or between annual tests if an event or change in circumstance occurs that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. In testing for goodwill impairment, the Company has the option lo first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is not required. If the Company concludes otherwise, the Company is required to perform the two-step impairment test, The goodwill impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level by comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its respective carrying value. If the estimated fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill at the reporting unit level is not impaired. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, further analysis is necessary to determine the amount of impairment, if any, by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill to the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill.
Research and Development —Costs incurred in connection with the development of new products and manufacturing methods are charged to operating expenses as incurred. No research and development costs were incurred for the three or six months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.
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
8
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 implemented this change beginning in 2019 . Because all outstanding unvested employee stock options became fully vested upon the merger close and change in control (see Note s 3 and 8 ) , and because no new options to purchase shares of common stock were granted between March 16, 2021 and June 30 , 2021, no stock-based compensation expense is recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the three or six months ended June 30 , 2021 .
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.
3. Merger
On March 15, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of EVTDS, a supplier of zero-emission trucks, cargo vans, chassis and other commercial vehicles. The transaction was completed in accordance with the Merger Agreement, by and among the Company, EVTDS and Merger Sub. As a result of such transaction, Merger Sub was merged with and into EVTDS, with EVTDS surviving as our wholly owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of the common stock of EVTDS was automatically converted into the right to receive one share of the common stock of the Company. As a result of the Merger, the Company issued an aggregate of 142,558,001 shares of its common stock to the former EVTDS stockholders, which shares represented approximately 56 % of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company as of immediately following the effective time of the Merger. This exchange of shares and the resulting controlling ownership of EVTDS constitutes a reverse acquisition resulting in a recapitalization of EVTDS and purchase accounting being applied to ADOMANI, Inc. under ASC 805 due to EVTDS being the accounting acquirer and ADOMANI, Inc. being deemed an acquired business. This requires financial reporting from the Merger close date forward to reflect only the historic consolidated results of EVTDS and to include the consolidated results for Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. and subsidiaries from March 16, 2021 forward.
At December 31, 2020, EVTDS had subscription restricted cash of $ 1,793,910 on its balance sheet as a result of offering a restricted subscription agreement to the stockholders of Envirotech Vehicles, Inc., a Canadian entity, to have the right to purchase two shares of EVTDS for every one common share of EVT Canada they owned. The purpose of this subscription agreement was to raise the necessary capital to close the Merger and to provide working capital for EVTDS so that it could pay off certain liabilities and pay for ongoing expenses through the closing of the Merger. A corresponding liability account was also recorded as of December 31, 2020. The total amount raised just prior to the Merger closing was $ 6,415,210 . At the closing of the Merger, EVTDS satisfied its obligation to deliver $ 5 million in cash to ADOMANI, Inc. and repaid the majority of the items discussed above. However, some liabilities were not repaid and are still being negotiated, resulting in $ 258,083 in cash at March 31, 2021 still being restricted and $ 258,083 in liabilities remaining outstanding on the March 31, 2021 balance sheet included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. This number has decreased to $ 254,913 in both categories as of June 30, 2021.

EVTDS entered into an exclusive 50-year distribution agreement as of October 4, 2017 to become the sole USA distributor of Envirotech Electric Vehicles, Inc., a Canadian entity. This agreement grants EVTDS the exclusive right in the United States to promote sales, including the right to use trademarks, trade names, service marks and logos and to obtain orders based on sales targets for orders. The agreement also provides that Envirotech Electric Vehicles, Inc. may not independently appoint additional distributors. The Company obtained this agreement in the Merger.
The following table presents the estimated allocation of the purchase price of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisition by EVTDS of ADOMANI, Inc. via the reverse acquisition:

This preliminary allocation is based on management’s estimated fair value of the ADOMANI Inc. assets and liabilities at March 15, 2021 and is subject to adjustment when a third party valuation to determine the fair value of the assets for ASC 805, Business Combinations reporting purposes is received. That report is not yet completed as of the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021. Accordingly, there have been no adjustments made to the initial estimates of fair value. Adjustments made to the ADOMANI, Inc. assets are derived from a total value of $ 53,509,622 , based on 112,675,558 shares of common stock outstanding on March 15, 2021 and the closing price that day of $ 0.4749 per share. From that amount, total assets acquired of $ 5,570,628 (including a reduction in the carrying value of finished goods inventory of $ 26,400 to reflect fair value) was deducted, and total acquired liabilities of $ 1,607,916 were added back to arrive at the $ 49,546,910 of Goodwill recorded. The Company incurred approximately $ 415,472 in transaction costs related to the Merger.
The unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 included $ 151,793 of revenue and a loss from operations of $( 144,015 ) contributed by ADOMANI, Inc. and its subsidiaries, excluding EVTDS. Since the closing of the Merger on March 15, 2021, primarily due to the fact that EVTDS brought no employees or sales people to the merged entity, and that sales and operating activities have been conducted on a company-wide basis, not on the basis of either EVTDS alone or the ADOMANI entities alone, other than nominal expense items related to EVTDS leases assumed in the Merger (see Notes 10 and 12), all accounting subsequent to the closing of the Merger has been and will continue to be done on a consolidated basis. We therefore are not able to segregate the operating results of operations between the formerly separate entities in the current periods.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations for the Company and gives effect to the Merger discussed above as if it had occurred on January 1, 2020 and on January 1, 2021. The pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively, that would have been realized if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2020 or January 1, 2021, nor does it purport to project the results of the merged entity in future periods. The pro forma financial information does not give effect to any anticipated integration costs related to the merged entities.

For purposes of the pro forma disclosures above, there were no adjustments required for the three months ended June 30, 2020 because there were no transactions between EVTDS and ADOMANI, Inc. during that period. For the three months ended June 30,2021, there were also no adjustments required, as the quarter reflects the results of operations of the merged entity. The adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2020 resulted in a reduction in sales of $ 79,735 and a $ 15 decrease in net loss. The adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2021 resulted in a reduction of sales of $ 319,000 and a $ 91,800 increase in net loss. Both sales adjustments resulted from sale of vehicles by EVTDS to ADOMANI, Inc. However, the actual loss for ADOMANI, Inc. for the period January 1, 2021 through March 15, 2021 that is included in this pro forma information included an adjustment to fully amortize the unamortized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding stock options that fully vested at the closing of the Merger. This adjustment increased pro forma expenses, and therefore the pro forma net loss, for both the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the six months ended June 30, 2021 by approximately $ 1,826,623 more than would otherwise have been recorded absent the consummation of the Merger.

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, Edward R. Monfort, the former Chief Technology Officer and a former director of ADOMANI, Inc., 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.

Plaintiff’s counsel has subsequently filed a first amended complaint, a second amended complaint, a third amended complaint, and a fourth 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 27, 2020, we answered the fourth amended complaint, generally 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 Underwriters’ 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 February 18, 2020, we filed an answer to Mr. Monfort’s cross-complaint, generally denying the allegations and asserting affirmative defenses.
On March 2, 2021, Electric Drivetrains filed its motion for class certification. On March 17, 2021, the court held a case management conference. At the case management conference, the court set a tentative schedule for class discovery and briefing on the motion for class certification. On June 2, 2021, Electric Drivetrains and ADOMANI filed a stipulation extending the deadline for class certification discovery proposing the following deadlines: close of class discovery on September 28, 2021; defendants’ opposition to the motion for class certification due on October 28, 2021; plaintiff’s reply in support of its motion due on November 29, 2021; a case management conference on December 13, 2021 to set a date for hearing on the merits of the motion for class certification. Electric Drivetrains settled its claims against Mr. Monfort. The Underwriters have reached settlements with Electric Drivetrains on the primary claims in this matter. All defendants are maintaining their cross claims against each other. On July 13, 2021, Electric Drivetrains’ counsel moved to be relieved as counsel. The court will hear this motion on August 23, 2021. 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, two of the underwriters of the Company’s offering of common stock under Regulation A in June 2017, and certain of the underwriters’ 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.

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. Fact discovery in this matter remains ongoing. Trial is currently set for November 1, 2021. We believe that the lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.
On February 3, 2020, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Ebus in a foreclosure sale through a credit bid in the amount of $ 582,000 , representing the amount then owed by Ebus to the Company evidenced by a secured promissory note. Following the Company’s successful credit bid at the foreclosure sale, Ebus’s obligations under the note were extinguished and the Company was entitled to take possession of substantially all of the assets of Ebus. While the Company was able to take possession of some of the assets, Ebus prevented the Company from taking possession of all of the assets purchased at the foreclosure sale. As a result, on April 13, 2020, the Company filed a complaint captioned ADOMANI, Inc. v. Ebus, Inc., et al., in the Superior Court of California for the County of Los Angeles, Case No. 20ST CV 14275, against Ebus and certain of its insiders and affiliates seeking to recover the remainder of the assets and related damages. On January 14, 2021, a cross-complaint was filed against the Company by Ebus, Inc. and Anders B. Eklov for Unjust Enrichment and Conversion of Domain Name, seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. The Company intends to pursue its claims set forth in the complaint and defend the claims set forth in the cross-complaint.
12. Leases
As of June 30, 2021, the Company is a party to nine operating leases. Six of these leases are office or warehouse leases; the remaining three are equipment leases (see Note 10). 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, 2021, this exception applies to the six EVTDS leases and to the ADOMANI Inc. Stockton, California lease, which are all month-to-month. In applying the guidance in ASC 842, the Company has determined that all current leases should be classified as operating leases.
As a result of applying the guidance of ASC 842 to its former corporate office lease (see Note 10) entered into in 2017, the Company recognized an operating liability with a corresponding Right-Of-Use (“ROU”) asset of the same amounts based on the present value of the minimum rental payments of such lease. As of March 15, 2021, that balance was $ 131,622 . As of June 30, 2021, the ROU asset and related liability accounts were written off against each other due to the settlement of the outstanding amounts discussed in Note 10.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company entered into an operating lease for warehouse space in Corona, California (see Note 10). As required by ASC 842, in conjunction with this lease, the Company recognized an operating liability with a corresponding Right-Of-Use (“ROU”) asset of the same amounts based on the present value of the minimum rental payments of such lease. As of March 15, 2021, the ROU asset had a balance of $ 238,365 . As of June 30, 2021, the ROU asset had a balance of $ 199,916 , which is included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. Current liabilities relating to the ROU asset, which are included in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet, were $ 149,844 at June 30,2021. Non-current liabilities relating to the ROU asset, which are included in other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet, were $ 80,238 as of June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s warehouse operating lease had a weighted-average remaining lease term of 1.50 years. See Note 10.
