−Removed: DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
−Removed: Acquisition Corp.
−Removed: (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on November 7, 2018.
−Removed: The Company was formed for the
−Removed: purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination
−Removed: with one or more businesses (the “Initial Business Combination”).
−Removed: The Company is an “emerging growth company,”
−Removed: as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart
−Removed: Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).
−Removed: of December 31, 2019, the Company had not commenced any operations.
−Removed: All activity for the period from November 7, 2018 (date of
−Removed: inception) to December 31, 2019 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public
−Removed: Offering”) described below, and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the identification and evaluation of prospective
−Removed: acquisition targets for an Initial Business Combination and ongoing administrative and compliance matters.
−Removed: The Company will not
−Removed: generate any operating revenues until after completion of its Initial Business Combination, at the earliest.
−Removed: The Company generates
−Removed: non-operating income in the form of interest income earned on investments from the net proceeds derived from the Initial Public
−Removed: and Initial Public Offering
−Removed: Company’s sponsor is Tortoise Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).
−Removed: in Note 3, on March 4, 2019, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,300,917 of its units (the “Units”),
−Removed: including 800,917 Units that were issued pursuant to the underwriters’
−Removed: partial exercise of their over-allotment option,
−Removed: generating gross proceeds of approximately $233.0 million.
−Removed: As described in Note 4, on March 4, 2019, simultaneously with the closing
−Removed: of the Initial Public Offering, Tortoise Borrower LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tortoise Borrower”)
−Removed: and an affiliate of the Sponsor, purchased an aggregate of 6,660,183 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at
−Removed: a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $6.66 million (the “Private
−Removed: Placement”).
−Removed: Company intends to finance its Initial Business Combination with proceeds from the Initial Public Offering, the Private Placement,
−Removed: the private placement of Forward Purchase Securities (described in Note 5), and from additional issuances, if any, of the Company’s
−Removed: capital stock, debt or a combination of the foregoing.
−Removed: the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, approximately $233.0 million was placed in a trust account
−Removed: (the “Trust Account”), with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.
−Removed: The proceeds held in
−Removed: the Trust Account are invested only in U.S.
−Removed: government securities with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds
−Removed: that meet certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which invest only in direct
−Removed: government treasury obligations.
−Removed: Funds will remain in the Trust Account until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the
−Removed: Initial Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account proceeds as described below.
−Removed: The remaining proceeds
−Removed: outside the Trust Account may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and
−Removed: general and administrative expenses.
−Removed: Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, except for the withdrawal of interest to pay
−Removed: franchise and income taxes, none of the funds held in the Trust Account (including the interest earned on the funds in the Trust
−Removed: Account) will be released from the Trust Account until the earlier of:
−Removed: (i) the completion of the Initial Business Combination;
−Removed: (ii) the redemption of any shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering (the “Public
−Removed: Shares”) that have been properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote seeking to amend the Company’s amended
−Removed: and restated certificate of incorporation to affect the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of such Public Shares
−Removed: if it has not consummated an Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the
−Removed: “Combination Period”);
−Removed: and (iii) the redemption of 100% of the Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete
−Removed: an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.
−Removed: The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject
−Removed: to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public
−Removed: stockholders.
−Removed: Business Combination
−Removed: Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public
−Removed: Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward
−Removed: consummating an Initial Business Combination.
−Removed: The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) rules require that the Initial
−Removed: Business Combination occur with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value of at least 80% of the assets
−Removed: held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned
−Removed: on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the Initial Business Combination.
−Removed: There is no assurance that
−Removed: the Company will be able to successfully effect an Initial Business Combination.
−Removed: Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination, will either (i) seek stockholder approval of
−Removed: the Initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which stockholders may seek to redeem
−Removed: their Public Shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Initial Business Combination, for cash equal to their
−Removed: pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the
−Removed: Initial Business Combination, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes,
−Removed: or (ii) provide stockholders the opportunity to sell their Public Shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby
−Removed: avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit
−Removed: in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest
−Removed: not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes.
−Removed: The decision as to whether the Company will seek
−Removed: stockholder approval of the Initial Business Combination or allow stockholders to sell their Public Shares in a tender offer will
−Removed: be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction
−Removed: and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval, unless a vote is required
−Removed: by law or under NYSE rules.
−Removed: If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete its Initial Business Combination only
−Removed: if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Initial Business Combination.
−Removed: in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.
−Removed: In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related Initial Business Combination,
−Removed: and instead would search for an alternate Initial Business Combination.
−Removed: the Company holds a stockholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with an Initial Business Combination,
−Removed: a stockholder will have the right to redeem such holder’s Public Shares for an amount in cash equal to such holder’s
−Removed: pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the
−Removed: Initial Business Combination, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes.
−Removed: As a result, such Public Shares are recorded as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance
−Removed: with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480,
−Removed: “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
−Removed: Notwithstanding
−Removed: the foregoing, the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together
−Removed: with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group”
−Removed: (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted
−Removed: from redeeming their shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% or more of the shares of Class A common stock sold in
−Removed: the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.
−Removed: Sponsor, Tortoise Borrower, the Company’s officers and directors and Atlas Point Energy Infrastructure Fund, LLC (“Atlas
−Removed: Point Fund”) (collectively, the “Initial Stockholders”) agreed not to propose an amendment to the amended and
−Removed: restated certificate of incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100%
−Removed: of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete an Initial Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public
−Removed: stockholders the opportunity to redeem their shares of Class A common stock in conjunction with any such amendment.
−Removed: to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if the Company is unable to complete an Initial Business
−Removed: Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii)
−Removed: as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than 10 business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor,
−Removed: redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account
−Removed: including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s
−Removed: franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding
−Removed: Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the public stockholders’
−Removed: rights as stockholders (including the
−Removed: right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible
−Removed: following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board
−Removed: of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for
−Removed: claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
−Removed: The Initial Stockholders have entered into a letter agreement
−Removed: with the Company, pursuant to which they agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with
−Removed: respect to any Founder Shares (as defined below) held by them if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination
−Removed: within the Combination Period.
−Removed: However, if any of the Initial Stockholders acquire shares of Class A common stock in or after
−Removed: the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares
−Removed: if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.
−Removed: the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after an Initial Business Combination, the Company’s
−Removed: stockholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities
−Removed: and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock.

+Added: of Consolidation:
+Added: On October 1, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), Tortoise Acquisition Corp (“TortoiseCorp”)
+Added: entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination”) with each of the shareholders of Hyliion
+Added: (“Legacy Hyliion”).
+Added: Pursuant to the Business Combination, TortoiseCorp acquired all of the issued and outstanding

+Added: changed its name to Hyliion Holdings Corp.
+Added: For more information on this transaction see Note 3.
+Added: On the Closing Date, and in connection

+Added: (the “Company”
+Added: or “Hyliion”) and the Company’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol
+Added: Legacy Hyliion was deemed the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on an analysis of the criteria outlined

−Removed: dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
−Removed: the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
−Removed: preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and
−Removed: assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
−Removed: the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
−Removed: It is at least reasonably
−Removed: possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the balance
−Removed: sheet, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change due to one or more future confirming events.
−Removed: results could differ from these estimates.
Growth Company :
−Removed: 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting
−Removed: standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective
−Removed: or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial
−Removed: accounting standards.
−Removed: The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with
−Removed: the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable.
−Removed: The Company has
−Removed: elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different
−Removed: application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard
−Removed: at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
−Removed: This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements
−Removed: with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of
−Removed: using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
+Added: Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) exempts emerging
+Added: growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that
+Added: is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered
+Added: under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards.
+Added: The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that
+Added: apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable.
+Added: The Company has elected not to opt out
+Added: of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates
+Added: for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time
+Added: private companies adopt the new or revised standard, until such time the Company is no longer considered to be an emerging growth
+Added: At times, the Company may elect to early adopt a new or revised standard.
+Added: of estimates and uncertainty of the coronavirus pandemic :
+Added: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
+Added: GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
+Added: and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, as well as reported amounts of expenses during
+Added: the reporting period.
+Added: The Company’s most significant estimates and judgments involve valuation of share-based compensation,
+Added: including the fair value of common stock prior to the Business Combination, and the valuation of the convertible notes payable
+Added: derivative liability.
+Added: Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be
+Added: reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
+Added: results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial
+Added: On January 30, 2020, the World Health
+Added: Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern”
+Added: and on March 11,
+Added: 2020, declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic.
+Added: In mid-March 2020, U.S.
+Added: State Governors, local officials and leaders outside
+Added: began ordering various “shelter-in-place”
+Added: orders, which have had various impacts on the U.S.
+Added: This has required greater use of estimates and assumptions in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial
+Added: the coronavirus pandemic continues to evolve, the Company believes the extent of the impact to its businesses, operating results,
+Added: cash flows, liquidity and financial condition will be primarily driven by the severity and duration of the coronavirus pandemic,
+Added: the pandemic’s impact on the U.S.
+Added: and global economies and the timing, scope and effectiveness of federal, state and local
+Added: governmental responses to the pandemic.
+Added: Those primary drivers are beyond the Company’s knowledge and control, and as a result,
+Added: at this time the Company is unable to predict the cumulative impact, both in terms of severity and duration, that the coronavirus
+Added: pandemic will have on its business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition, but it could be material if the current
+Added: circumstances continue to exist for a prolonged period.
+Added: Although the Company has made its best estimates based upon current information,
+Added: actual results could materially differ from the estimates and assumptions developed by management.
+Added: If so, the Company may be subject
+Added: to future impairment charges as well as changes to recorded reserves and valuations.
+Added: ASC 280, Segment Reporting , defines operating segments as components of an enterprise where discrete
+Added: financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in deciding
+Added: how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
+Added: The Company operates as a single operating segment.
+Added: The Company’s
+Added: chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the chief executive officer, who has ultimate responsibility for the operating
+Added: performance of the Company and the allocation of resources.
+Added: The CODM uses cash flows as the primary measure to manage the business
+Added: and does not segment the business for internal reporting or decision making.
Concentration
−Removed: of Credit Risk
−Removed: instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash and investments held in the Trust
−Removed: Cash is maintained in accounts with financial institutions, which, at times may exceed the federal depository insurance
−Removed: coverage of $250,000.
−Removed: The Company has not experienced losses on its cash accounts and management believes, based upon the quality
−Removed: of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant.
−Removed: The Company’s investments
−Removed: held in the Trust Account consist entirely of an investment in a money market fund that comprises only U.S.
−Removed: treasury securities.
−Removed: Held in Trust Account
−Removed: Company’s portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account are comprised solely of an investment in a money market fund
−Removed: that comprises only U.S.
−Removed: treasury securities classified as trading securities.
−Removed: Trading securities are presented on the balance
−Removed: sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period.
−Removed: Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities
−Removed: is included in gain on marketable securities (net), dividends and interest, held in the Trust Account in the accompanying statement
−Removed: of operations.
−Removed: The fair value for trading securities is determined using quoted market prices in active markets.
+Added: of supplier risk:
+Added: The Company is dependent on certain suppliers, the majority of which are single source suppliers, and
+Added: the inability of these suppliers to deliver necessary components of the Company’s products in a timely manner at prices,
+Added: quality levels and volumes that are acceptable, or the Company’s inability to efficiently manage these components from these
+Added: suppliers, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition and operating
+Added: Cash and cash equivalents:
+Added: Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity date of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash and
+Added: cash equivalents only if in checking, savings or money market accounts.
+Added: Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in banks and
+Added: money market accounts.
+Added: Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
+Added: Company maintains cash in excess of federally insured limits at financial institutions.
+Added: The Company makes such deposits with entities
+Added: it believes are of high credit quality and has not incurred any losses related to these balances to date.
+Added: Management believes
+Added: its credit risk, with respect to the financial institutions to be minimal.
+Added: Accounts receivable are stated at a gross invoice amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.
+Added: The allowance
+Added: for doubtful accounts is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for potential account losses on the balance based
+Added: on management’s evaluation of the anticipated impact of current economic conditions, changes in the character and size of
+Added: the balance, past and expected future loss experience, among other pertinent factors.
+Added: As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there
+Added: was no allowance for doubtful accounts required based on management’s evaluation.
+Added: The Company’s
+Added: investments consist of corporate bonds, treasury securities and commercial paper, all of which are classified as held-to-maturity,
+Added: with a maturity date of 36-months or less at the time of purchase.
+Added: Management determines the appropriate classification of investments
+Added: at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.
+Added: Investments are classified as held-to-maturity
+Added: when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.
+Added: Held-to-maturity securities are stated
+Added: at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity.
+Added: Such amortization is included
+Added: in investment income.
+Added: Interest on securities classified as held-to-maturity is included in investment income.
+Added: Company uses the specific identification method to determine the cost basis of securities sold.
+Added: are impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary.
+Added: The Company evaluates an investment for impairment
+Added: by considering the length of time and extent to which market value has been less than cost or amortized cost, the financial condition
+Added: and near-term prospects of the issuer as well as specific events or circumstances that may influence the operations of the issuer
+Added: and the Company’s intent to sell the security or the likelihood that it will be required to sell the security before recovery
+Added: of the entire amortized cost.
+Added: Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded
+Added: to other income (expense) and a new costs basis in the investment is established.
value measurements:
−Removed: value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction
−Removed: between market participants at the measurement date.
−Removed: GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the
−Removed: inputs used in measuring fair value.
−Removed: hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level
−Removed: 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
−Removed: These tiers include:
−Removed: 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments
−Removed: in active markets;
−Removed: 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly
−Removed: or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets
−Removed: or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active;
−Removed: 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore
−Removed: requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation
−Removed: techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
−Removed: some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy.
−Removed: In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest
−Removed: level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
−Removed: of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the recorded values of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable to Sponsor approximate
−Removed: their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
−Removed: Offering Costs
−Removed: costs consist of expenses incurred in connection with preparation of the Initial Public Offering, of approximately $13.36 million
−Removed: consisted principally of underwriter discounts of $12.77 million (including $8.13 million of which payment is deferred) and approximately
−Removed: $583,000 of professional, printing, filing, regulatory and other costs.
−Removed: These expenses, together with the underwriting discounts
−Removed: and commissions, were charged to equity upon completion of the Initial Public Offering.
−Removed: A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
−Removed: Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with FASB ASC 480, “Distinguishing
−Removed: Liabilities from Equity.”
−Removed: Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability
−Removed: and measured at fair value.
−Removed: Shares of conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including shares of Class A common stock
−Removed: that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of
−Removed: uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity.
−Removed: At all other times, shares
−Removed: of Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’
−Removed: The Company’s Class A common stock features certain
−Removed: redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain
−Removed: future events.
−Removed: The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value
−Removed: of the security at the end of each reporting period.
−Removed: Increases or decreases in the carrying value amount of redeemable shares
−Removed: of Class A common stock are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital.
−Removed: Accordingly, as of December 31, 2019, 22,366,276
−Removed: shares of Class A common stock subject to conditional redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’
−Removed: equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.
−Removed: Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
−Removed: Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of income per share for common stock subject to redemption in
−Removed: a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share.
−Removed: Basic and diluted net income per share of Class A common stock for
−Removed: the year ended December 31, 2019 is calculated by dividing the investment income earned on the investments held in the Trust Account
−Removed: (approximately $3.9 million, net of funds available to be withdrawn from the Trust Account for payment of taxes, resulting in
−Removed: a total of approximately $2.9 million), by the weighted average number of approximately 23.3 million shares of Class A common
−Removed: stock outstanding for the periods.
−Removed: Basic and diluted net loss per share of Class B common stock for the year ended December 31,
−Removed: 2019 is calculated by dividing the net income (approximately $2.3 million, less income attributable to Class A common stock in
−Removed: the amount of approximately $2.9 million, resulting in a net loss of approximately $565,000), by the weighted average number of
−Removed: 5.8 million shares of Class B common stock outstanding for the period.
−Removed: income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted
−Removed: average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.
−Removed: The Company has not considered the effect of the Warrants
−Removed: sold in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate 18,310,641 shares of Class A common
−Removed: stock in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method as
−Removed: of December 31, 2019.
−Removed: Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes”
−Removed: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences
−Removed: between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
−Removed: Deferred income
−Removed: tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
−Removed: temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
−Removed: The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
−Removed: tax rates is recognized in income during the period that included the enactment date.
−Removed: Valuation allowances are established, when
−Removed: necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
−Removed: 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of
−Removed: tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
−Removed: For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more
−Removed: likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
−Removed: There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December
−Removed: 31, 2019 and 2018.
−Removed: The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.
−Removed: No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
−Removed: The Company is currently not
−Removed: aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
−Removed: The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.
−Removed: of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had gross deferred tax assets related to federal and state net operating loss carryforwards
−Removed: for income tax purposes of approximately $119,000 and $120, respectively.
−Removed: The Company has not performed a detailed analysis to
−Removed: determine whether an ownership change under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code has occurred.
−Removed: The effect of an ownership
−Removed: change would be the imposition of an annual limitation on the use of net operating loss carryforwards attributable to periods
−Removed: before the change.
−Removed: assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or
−Removed: all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.
−Removed: The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation
−Removed: of future taxable income during the period in which those temporary differences become deductible.
−Removed: Management considers the scheduled
−Removed: reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and taxing strategies in making this assessment.
−Removed: the deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods, the Company has provided a valuation allowance for the full amount
−Removed: of the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
−Removed: Accounting Pronouncements
−Removed: December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No.
−Removed: 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740):
−Removed: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”
−Removed: (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes.
−Removed: removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent
−Removed: This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December
+Added: ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements , clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing
+Added: the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
+Added: As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would
+Added: use in pricing an asset or liability.
+Added: As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value
+Added: hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
+Added: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company can access at the measurement
+Added: Significant other observable inputs other than level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities,
+Added: quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
+Added: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants
+Added: would use in pricing an asset or liability.
+Added: asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of
+Added: any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
+Added: Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable
+Added: inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
+Added: and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques noted in ASC 820:
+Added: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving
+Added: identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
+Added: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement
+Added: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount based
+Added: upon market expectations (including present value techniques, option pricing and excess
+Added: earnings models)
+Added: Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, however the use of different
+Added: methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value
+Added: measurement at the reporting date.
+Added: Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable,
+Added: accrued expenses, contingent consideration liability, convertible notes payable derivative liability, and convertible notes payable.
+Added: carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximates fair value
+Added: because of the short-term nature of those instruments.
+Added: We estimate the fair value of our convertible notes payable using level
+Added: two and level three inputs by discounting the future cash flows using current interest rates at which we could obtain similar
+Added: borrowings in consideration of the estimated enterprise value of the Company.
+Added: The fair value of corporate bonds, treasury securities
+Added: and commercial paper are based on quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active.
+Added: corporate bonds, treasury securities and commercial paper are classified within Level II of the fair value hierarchy.
+Added: The Company’s assets and liabilities
+Added: that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the Company’s contingent consideration liability and convertible
+Added: notes payable derivative liabilities (See Note 4).
+Added: Prepaid expenses and other current
+Added: Prepaid expenses and other current assets include prepaid insurance, prepaid rent, supplies, and amounts owed
+Added: to the Company from the Company’s transfer agent (see Note 7) which are expected to be recognized, received or realized

+Added: Property and equipment, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, or if acquired in a business
+Added: combination, at fair value as of the date of acquisition.
+Added: Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, based upon
+Added: the following estimated useful lives:
+Added: Production machinery and equipment
+Added: Leasehold improvements
+Added: shorter of lease term or 7 years
+Added: Demo fleet systems
+Added: Furniture and fixtures
+Added: Computers and related equipment
+Added: renewals and improvements are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives
+Added: of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred.
+Added: When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related
+Added: cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss on the disposition is recorded in the consolidated
+Added: statement of operations as a component of other (expense) income.
+Added: Intangible assets consist of developed technology and a non-compete agreement and are amortized over their
+Added: estimated useful life which range from three to six years.
+Added: of long-lived assets :
+Added: The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets with
+Added: definite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset group’s carrying amount
+Added: may not be recoverable.
+Added: The Company conducts its long-lived asset impairment analysis in accordance with ASC 360-10, Impairment
+Added: or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets , which requires the Company to group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which
+Added: identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group
+Added: against the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows.
+Added: If the undiscounted cash flows do not indicate the carrying amount of the
+Added: asset group is recoverable, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds
+Added: its fair value.
+Added: The Company follows the five steps to recognize revenue from contracts with customers under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts
+Added: with Customers (“ASC 606”), which are:
+Added: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
+Added: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
+Added: Determine the transaction price
+Added: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
+Added: Recognize revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied
+Added: Company intends to generate revenue from the sale of its hybrid and electrified drive systems for the long haul “Class 8”
+Added: semi-tractors.
+Added: However, since the Company is still in the pre-commercialization stage, it has not generated revenue from the sale
+Added: of the products.
+Added: Company did not enter into any agreement that meets the definition of a contract with a customer that would be accounted for under
+Added: ASC 606 through December 31, 2020.
+Added: The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the contract.
+Added: Operating leases are included in operating
+Added: lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities, and operating lease liabilities,
+Added: net of current portion in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
+Added: Finance leases are included in property and equipment,
+Added: net, current portion of long-term debt, and long-term debt, net of current portion in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
+Added: assets represent the Company’s right to use underlying assets for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s
+Added: obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases.
+Added: ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement
+Added: date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.
+Added: The discount rate used to calculate the present value for
+Added: lease payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which is determined based on information available at lease
+Added: commencement and is equal to the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over
+Added: a similar term in an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.
+Added: The Company uses the implicit rate
+Added: when readily determinable.
+Added: Company has entered into operating leases for corporate offices having initial lease terms of one to eight years.
+Added: has entered into finance leases primarily for vehicles and equipment, having initial terms of three years.
+Added: Company’s real estate leases may include one or more options to renew, with the renewal extending the lease term for an
+Added: additional one to five years.
+Added: The exercise of lease renewal option is at the Company’s sole discretion.
+Added: In general, the
+Added: Company does not consider renewal option to be reasonably likely to be exercised, therefore renewal option are generally not recognized
+Added: as part of the ROU assets and lease liabilities.
+Added: Lease costs for lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the
+Added: lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised.
+Added: The Company does not record
+Added: operating leases with an initial term of twelve months or less (“short-term leases”) in the consolidated balance sheets.
+Added: Company’s vehicle and equipment leases may include transfer rights or options to purchase at the end of the lease that the
+Added: Company is reasonably certain to exercise.
+Added: Interest expense is recognized using the effective interest rate method, and the ROU
+Added: asset is amortized over the useful life of the underlying asset.
+Added: The Company also enters into arrangements whereby space within the real estate is subleased.
+Added: At the lease commencement
+Added: date these subleases are recognized as operating leases.
+Added: Operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease
+Added: Company has entered into various trial and evaluation agreements that contain an operating lease component that is within the
+Added: scope of ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”).
+Added: These agreements also contain non-lease components related to certain
+Added: stand-ready services where control transfers over time over the same period and based on the same pattern as the lease component.
+Added: Because the Company has determined the lease component is the most predominant component of the arrangement and the timing and
+Added: pattern of transfer for the lease and non-lease components associated with the lease component are the same, the Company has decided
+Added: to elect the practical expedient not to separate the lease and non-lease component and accounts for the entire arrangement under
+Added: trial and evaluation agreements contain only variable payments not based on an index or rate as a result of refund provisions
+Added: within those contracts.
+Added: The Company records accounts receivable when the Company meets the criteria within the trial and evaluation
+Added: agreements to invoice the lessee.
+Added: In accordance with ASC 842, the Company recognizes variable lease payments as profit or loss
+Added: in the period in which the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur, which will
+Added: generally be the end of the trial period when the customer refund rights lapse.
+Added: During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019,
+Added: the Company has not recognized any lease income related to these trial and evaluation agreements either because the Company has
+Added: not received any consideration from the lease contracts, or the uncertainty related to the consideration received has not been
+Added: of the Company’s lessee and lessor lease agreements contain both lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted
+Added: for as a single lease component.
+Added: Additionally, for certain vehicle leases, we apply a portfolio approach to effectively account
+Added: for the finance lease ROU assets and liabilities.
+Added: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes , under which deferred tax
+Added: liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement
+Added: carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
+Added: Valuation allowances
+Added: are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
+Added: to the Company’s history of losses since inception, the net deferred tax assets
+Added: have been fully offset by a valuation allowance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
+Added: tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return are accounted for using the
+Added: more likely than not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement.
+Added: the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no uncertain tax positions taken
+Added: or expected to be taken in the Company’s tax returns.
+Added: compensation:
+Added: The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation –
+Added: Compensation , under which shared based payments that involve the issuance of common stock to employees and nonemployees and
+Added: meet the criteria for equity-classified awards are recognized in the financial statements as share-based compensation expense
+Added: based on the fair value on the date of grant.
+Added: The Company issues stock option awards and restricted stock awards to employees
+Added: and nonemployees.
+Added: Company utilizes the Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of the stock option awards, which requires the input of subjective
+Added: These assumptions include estimating (a) the length of time grantees will retain their vested stock options before
+Added: exercising them for employees and the contractual term of the option for nonemployees (“expected term”), (b) the volatility
+Added: of the Company’s common stock price over the expected term, (c) expected dividends, and (d) the fair value of a share of
+Added: common stock prior to the Business Combination.
+Added: After the closing of the Business Combination, the Company’s board of directors
+Added: determined the fair value of each share of common stock underlying stock-based awards based on the closing price of the Company’s
+Added: common stock as reported by the NYSE on the date of grant.
+Added: The Company has elected to recognize the adjustment to share-based
+Added: compensation expense in the period in which forfeitures occur.
+Added: assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model are management’s best estimates, but the estimates involve inherent uncertainties
+Added: and the application of management judgment (see Note 8).
+Added: As a result, if other assumptions had been used, the recorded share-based
+Added: compensation expense could have been materially different from that depicted in the financial statements.
+Added: and development expense:
+Added: Research and development costs did not meet the requirements to be recognized as an asset as
+Added: the associated future benefits were at best uncertain and there was no alternative future use at the time the costs were incurred.
+Added: Research and development costs include, but are not limited to, outsourced engineering services, allocated facilities costs, depreciation
+Added: on equipment utilized in research and development activities, internal engineering and development expenses, materials, and employee
+Added: related expenses (including salaries, benefits, travel, and share-based compensation) related to development of the Company’s
+Added: products and services.
+Added: loss per share:
+Added: Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net loss (the numerator)
+Added: by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the denominator).
+Added: Diluted EPS attributable to common
+Added: shareholders is computed by adjusting net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding
+Added: (if dilutive) during each period.
+Added: Potential common shares include shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and vesting of
+Added: restricted stock awards (see Note 8).
+Added: The number of potential common shares outstanding are calculated using the treasury stock
+Added: or if-converted method.
+Added: accounting pronouncements issued, not yet adopted:
+Added: June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326):
+Added: Measurement of Credit Losses
+Added: of Financial Instruments , which, together with subsequent amendments, amends the requirement on the measurement and recognition
+Added: of expected credit losses for financial assets held to replace the incurred loss model for financial assets measured at amortized
+Added: cost and require entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical
+Added: experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

+Added: (a) Automatic conversion
+Added: upon the next equity financing of at least $5.0 million in proceeds.
+Added: The conversion price is dependent upon the pre-money valuation

+Added: the Company agreed that the holder of the 2018 Note would be the Company’s preferred supplier for certain components or
+Added: products that the holder sells.
+Added: See Note 14 for further details on this related party agreement.
+Added: The Company assessed the embedded features
+Added: within the 2018 Note and determined that the automatic conversion feature upon next equity financing and optional conversion feature
+Added: upon change in control (share-settled redemption features) and the additional interest feature met the definition of a derivative
+Added: and were not clearly and closely related to the host contract and required separate accounting.
+Added: At issuance, the Company estimated the
+Added: fair value of the automatic and optional conversion features to be approximately $1.8 million.
+Added: The Company’s fair value
+Added: measurements are more fully described in (Note 6).
+Added: At issuance, the Company concluded the
+Added: fair value of the additional interest feature was de minimis.
+Added: Between February and July 2019, the Company
+Added: issued a series of convertible notes payable in exchange for cash totaling $13.6 million (the “Initial 2019 Notes”).
+Added: The Initial 2019 Notes bear interest at 6% per annum and mature two to five years after their respective issuance dates.
+Added: 2019 Notes are only prepayable with the consent of the holders.
+Added: One of the Initial 2019 Notes (totaling $1.8 million) is secured
+Added: by substantially all of the assets of the Company, subordinate to the first priority, senior secured interest held by a note holder
+Added: of a convertible note issued in January 2020.
+Added: The holder of this note has first priority secured interest in these assets.
+Added: The Initial 2019 Notes include the following
+Added: embedded features:
+Added: (a) Automatic or
+Added: optional (for one of the Initial 2019 Notes) conversion upon the next equity financing of at least $15.0 million in proceeds (the
+Added: “Next Equity Financing”).
+Added: The conversion price is dependent upon the pre-money valuation of the Company in connection
+Added: with the next equity financing, with the conversion price set at a 25% discount on the next equity financing price if the pre-money
+Added: valuation is $100.0 million or less, or 25% multiplied by the quotient of $100.0 million divided by the pre-money valuation if
+Added: it is greater than $100.0 million.

+Added: of common stock at a conversion price equal to (i) the valuation of the Company established in connection with such next financing,
+Added: divided by (ii) the total number of shares of capital stock of the Company (on a fully diluted and as-converted basis), as established

+Added: discounts that were established in the noteholders’
+Added: original convertible notes.
+Added: The amended terms of the Note Amendments
+Added: were determined to be clarifications of the existing terms and did not result in substantially different terms.
+Added: Accordingly, the
+Added: Note Amendments were accounted for as modifications.
+Added: In connection with the reverse recapitalization
+Added: discussed in Note 3, immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the convertible notes, plus accrued paid-in-kind

+Added: Fair Value Measurements
+Added: The convertible notes payable derivative
+Added: liabilities are considered a Level 3 measurement due to the utilization of significant unobservable inputs in the valuation.

+Added: requiring bifurcation associated with the convertible notes payable at issuance, as of the December 31, 2019 reporting date, and
+Added: upon the settlement of the convertible notes payable derivative liabilities in connection with the extinguishment accounting applied
+Added: to the convertible notes payable (see Note 4).
+Added: This valuation model is designed to utilize the Company’s best estimates
+Added: of the timing and likelihood of the settlement events that are related to the embedded derivative features in order to estimate
+Added: the fair value of the respective convertible notes with these embedded derivative features.
+Added: The fair value of the convertible notes
+Added: with the derivative features is compared to the fair value of a plain vanilla note (excluding the derivative features), which
+Added: is calculated based on the present value of the future cash flows.
+Added: The difference between the two values represents the fair value
+Added: of the bifurcated derivative features as of each respective valuation date.
+Added: The key inputs to the valuation models
+Added: that were utilized to estimate the fair value of the convertible debt derivative liabilities include:

+Added: the terms and provisions of the December 2019 and January 2020 Notes, the valuation model
+Added: incorporated this additional assumption
+Added: The key inputs to the valuation models
+Added: are defined as follows:
+Added: probability-weighted conversion discount is based on the contractual terms of the convertible
+Added: note agreement and the expectation of the pre-money valuation of the Company as of the
+Added: estimated date that the next equity financing event occurs.
+Added: remaining term was determined based on the remaining time period to maturity of the related
+Added: convertible note with embedded features subject to valuation (as of the respective valuation
+Added: Company’s equity volatility estimate was based on the re-levered historical equity
+Added: volatility of a selection of the Company’s comparable guideline public companies,
+Added: based on the remaining term of the respective convertible notes.
+Added: risk rate was the discount rate utilized in the valuation and was determined based on
+Added: reference to market yields for debt instruments with similar credit ratings and terms.
+Added: probabilities and timing of the next financing event and default event are based on management’s
+Added: best estimate of the future settlement of the respective convertible notes.
+Added: negotiation discount utilized was calculated in order to further discount the specified
+Added: instruments in order to agree to the principal value of the convertible notes at issuance.
+Added: The utilization of the negotiation discount reflects the fact that there was a significant
+Added: need for new investment and limited availability of market participants who have interest
+Added: in making investments in such companies.
+Added: The presence of the additional discount reflects
+Added: the higher rate of return that these investors would seek in making such investments.

−Removed: Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable, such as quoted prices, interest
−Removed: rates and yield curves.

+Added: on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model in order to measure the compensation cost associated with
+Added: This model incorporates certain assumptions for inputs including an expected volatility in the market value of the
+Added: underlying common stock, expected term, a risk-free interest rate, and the expected dividend yield of the underlying common stock.

+Added: options issued in the following periods:
+Added: Years Ended December 31,
+Added: Expected volatility

+Added: For employees, the expected term is determined using the “simplified”
+Added: method, as prescribed by the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
+Added: 107, Share-Based
+Added: Payment, to estimate on a formula basis the expected term of the Company’s employee
+Added: stock options which are considered to have “plain vanilla”
+Added: characteristics.
+Added: For nonemployees, the expected term represents the contractual term of the option.
+Added: interest rate:
+Added: The risk-free interest rate was based upon quoted market yields
+Added: for the United States Treasury instruments with terms that were consistent with the expected
+Added: term of the Company’s stock options.
+Added: dividend yield:
+Added: The expected dividend yield was based on the Company’s
+Added: history and management’s current expectation regarding future dividends.
+Added: Employee and nonemployee stock options
+Added: generally vest over four years, with a maximum term of ten years from the date of grant.
+Added: These awards become available to the
+Added: recipient upon the satisfaction of a vesting condition based on a period of service, which may be accelerated at the discretion
+Added: of the Board.
+Added: Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting period.
