Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Adoption of New Accounting Standard
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for leases as a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), using the modified retrospective transition method effective January 1, 2022.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
/s/ Ernst & Young LLP
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

SARCOS TECHNOLOGY AND ROBOTICS CORPORTATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Pr esentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
​
Description of the Business
Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation (the “Company” or “Sarcos”), designs and produces highly-dexterous mobile robotic systems and solutions for use in dynamic environments.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. The Company’s fiscal year begins on January 1 and ends on December 31.
Business Combination
On September 24, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 5, 2021, by and among Rotor Acquisition Corp. (“Rotor”), Rotor Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation, and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Rotor (“Merger Sub”), and Sarcos Corp., a Utah corporation (“Old Sarcos”) and Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 28, 2021 (the “Amendment” and the Original Merger Agreement, as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Rotor, Merger Sub and Old Sarcos. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination between Rotor and Old Sarcos was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Old Sarcos, with Old Sarcos continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rotor. On the Closing Date, the Rotor changed its name from Rotor Acquisition Corp. to Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation.
Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), all issued and outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock of Old Sarcos were net exercised and all issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock of Old Sarcos were converted into common stock of Old Sarcos (collectively, the “Old Sarcos Common Stock”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time:
• each outstanding share of Old Sarcos Common Stock, after giving effect to the conversion described above, was cancelled and converted into and became (i) the right to receive approximately 5.129222424 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Common Stock of the Company, par value $ 0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), rounded down to the nearest whole share plus (ii) the contingent right to receive a portion of additional shares of Common Stock upon achievement of certain milestones (the “Contingent Merger Consideration”), as described below; and
• the outstanding options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and restricted stock award (“RSA”) of Old Sarcos, whether vested or unvested, were assumed by the Company and converted into options, RSUs and RSA of the Company;
In addition, each holder of Old Sarcos capital stock (including the Old Sarcos RSA) was entitled to a right to Contingent Merger Consideration at the Closing Date in the form of earn-outs, up to an aggregate of 28,125,000 shares of Common Stock.
On the Closing Date, certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”) purchased from the Company an aggregate of 22,000,000 shares (the “PIPE Shares”) of Common Stock at a price of $ 10.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $ 220.0 million (the “PIPE Financing”), in a private placement pursuant to separate subscription agreements (each, a “Subscription Agreement”) entered into effective as of April 5, 2021.
On September 27, 2021, the Common Stock and warrants of Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation (formerly those of Rotor Acquisition Corp.), ceased trading on the New York Stock Exchange and began trading on The Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) as “STRC” and “STRCW”, respectively.
On April 25, 2022, the Company acquired RE2, Inc., (“RE2”) a Pittsburgh, PA based developer of autonomous and teleoperated mobile robotic systems. The results presented herein include the activity of RE2 from the acquisition date through December 31, 2022 . The Company's results do not include RE2’s financial information prior to the acquisition. For further detail see Note 4.
81
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s most significant estimates and judgments involve contract revenue recognized based on estimates of total contract costs and cost to complete uncompleted contracts, estimates of potential losses on uncompleted contracts, impairment evaluation of contract assets, goodwill and other long lived assets, assumptions used for leases, valuation allowance for net deferred income taxes and valuation of the Company’ s stock-based compensation and warrants. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $ 114.5 million as of December 31, 2022, compared to $ 217.1 million as of December 31, 2021. The Company has historically incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of December 31, 2022, the Company also had an accumulated deficit of approximately $ 302.6 million and working capital of $ 118.6 million .
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and this basis assumes the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company’s main sources of liquidity have been cash generated by equity offerings. The Company’s primary use of cash is for operations and administrative activities including employee-related expenses, and general, operating and overhead expenses. Future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the Company’s timing and extent of development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, customer growth rate, customer retention, the introduction of new and enhanced product offerings and market acceptance of the Company’s products. The Company believes it has sufficient financial resources for at least the next 12 months from the date of this Report.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable and unbilled receivables. The Company’s cash is placed with high-credit-quality financial institutions and issuers, and at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company's cash equivalents and marketable securities are money market funds or U.S. Treasury bills with maturity dates within one year. The Company has not realized any losses relating to its cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities.
Accounts receivable
As of December 31, 2022 , three of our customers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable, which in total represented 81 % of the accounts receivable as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2021 , one customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable, which in total represented 81 % of the accounts receivable as of December 31, 2021.
Revenue
Three a nd five customers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue for each of the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 , respectively. These concentrations accounted for 74 % and 87 % of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 , respectively. The total amount of revenue for each such customer was as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash as deposits held in bank accounts and undeposited funds. All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash equivalents may be comprised of money market funds, certificates of deposit of major financial institutions and U.S. Treasury bills.
Accounts Receivable
Receivables are recorded at the amount the Company expects to collect. Management determines the need for an allowance for doubtful receivables using a specific identification method after taking into account all of its remedies for collection. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when payment is received as other income. Management determined no allowance for doubtful receivables was necessary as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. Receivables are comprised of amounts invoiced for completed contracts and contracts in progress. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021 , no amounts have been written off or provided for recoverability.
Inventories
Inventories primarily consist of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Costs are computed on the first-in, first-out basis and include material, labor and manufacturing overhead. Adjustments are also made to reduce the cost of inventory for estimated excess or obsolete balance by evaluating inventory against forecasted revenue and production requirements.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is carried at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives by asset classification are generally as follows:
Useful life
Robotics and manufacturing equipment
3 – 10 years
Computer equipment
3 – 5 years
Software
3 years
Furniture and fixtures
3 – 5 years
Leasehold improvements
Lesser of the useful life or the
remaining term of the lease
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed, the asset’s original cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated, and any gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations.
Leases
Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Update 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02), Lease (Topic 842), which superseded previous guidance related to accounting for leases. In accordance with ASC 842, the Company, at the inception of the contract, determines whether a contract is or contains a lease. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records the related operating or finance right of use asset and lease liability at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company is generally not able to readily determine the implicit rate in the lease and therefore uses the determined incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to determine the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the market interest rate the Company would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease. Renewal options are not included in the measurement of the right of use assets and lease liabilities unless the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the optional renewal periods.
Some of the Company's leases contain rent escalations over the lease term. The Company recognizes expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s lease agreements contain variable lease payments for common area maintenance, utility, insurance, and tax. The Company has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for all asset categories. Therefore, the lease payments used to measure the lease liability for these leases
83
include fixed minimum rentals along with fixed non-lease component charges. The Company does not have significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants in the lease portfolio.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived asset for indicators of possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment exists if the carrying amounts of such assets exceed the estimates of future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by such assets. No impairment loss was recognized related to these assets during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 .
Goodwil l
Goodwill is initially recorded when the purchase price paid for a business acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. All of the Company's goodwill was recognized as part of the RE2 acquisition during 2022. The Company evaluates goodwill at the reporting unit level for impairment annually, or when an indicator of potential impairment exists. The Company has one reporting unit.
When testing goodwill for impairment, the Company has the option of first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment, or if a qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that its carrying value exceeds its fair value, the Company performs a quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under the quantitative goodwill impairment test, if the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the Company will record an impairment charge based on that difference.
To determine reporting unit fair value as part of the quantitative test, the Company uses the income approach. Under the income approach, the Company projects the future cash flows and discounts these cash flows to reflect their relative risk. The cash flows used are consistent with those the Company uses in its internal planning, which reflects the Company's long-term business strategy.
In order to further validate the reasonableness of fair value as determined by the income approach described above, a reconciliation to market capitalization is then performed by estimating a reasonable control premium and other market factors. Future changes in the judgments, assumptions and estimates that are used in the impairment testing for goodwill could result in significantly different estimates of fair value. Based on the Company's quantitative goodwill impairment test, that it performed during the fourth quarter of 2022, it concluded that the carrying value of its reporting unit exceeded its fair value and that goodwill was fully impaired as of December 31, 2022. The Company recorded a $ 70.2 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 . For details associated with the Company's goodwill impairment testing, see Note 6.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products and from the delivery of goods and services arising out of its contractual arrangements to provide product development contract services that are funded by the customer. The Company recognizes revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services by following a five-step process:
1) Identify the contract with a customer: A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights and obligations regarding the products and services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these products and services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for products and services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. Contract modifications may include changes in scope of work, and/or the period of completion of the project. The Company analyzes contract modifications to determine if they should be accounted for as a modification to an existing contract or a new stand-alone contract.
2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract: The Company enters into contracts that can include combinations of products and services, which are either capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations or as one performance obligation if the majority of tasks and services form a single project or capability. Determining whether products or services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately may require significant judgment.
84
3) Determine the transaction price: The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. Such amounts are typically stated in the customer contract. However, to the extent that the Company identifies variable consideration, the Company will estimate the variable consideration at the onset of the arrangement as long as it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company’s current contracts do not include any significant financing components because the timing of the transfer of the underlying products and services under contract are at the customer's discretion. Additionally, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in revenue.
4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract: Once the Company has determined the transaction price, the total transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation in a manner depicting the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the good(s) or service(s) to the customer. If applicable, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract on a relative standalone selling price basis. The standalone selling price represents the amount we would sell the good(s) or service(s) to a customer on a standalone basis. For government contracts, the Company uses expected cost plus a margin as the standalone selling price. Because our contract pricing with government customers is generally based on expected cost plus margin, the standalone selling price of the good(s) or service(s) in our contracts with government customers are typically equal to the selling price stated in the contract. When we sell standard good(s) or service(s) with observable standalone sale transactions, the observable standalone sales transactions are used to determine the standalone selling price.
5) Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation : For each performance obligation identified, the Company determines at contract inception whether it satisfies the performance obligation over time or at a point in time. For performance obligations satisfied over time, revenue is recognized as work progresses when the Company is entitled to the reimbursement of costs plus a reasonable profit for work performed for which the Company has no alternate use. For these performance obligations, the Company generally recognizes revenue using an input method with revenue amounts being recognized proportionately as costs are incurred relative to the total expected costs to satisfy the performance obligation. The Company believes that costs incurred as a portion of total estimated costs is an appropriate measure of progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation since this measure reasonably depicts the progress of the work effort. Revenue for performance obligations that are not recognized over time are recognized at the point in time when control transfers to the customer (which is generally upon delivery). For performance obligations that are satisfied at a point in time, the Company evaluates the point in time when the customer can direct the use of, and obtain the benefits from, the products and services. Shipping and handling costs are recorded at the time of product shipment to the customer and are included within revenue.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company derives its revenue from two sources. First, the Company enters into research and development agreements primarily relating to the commercialization of the Company’s products. Second, the Company sells its products and related parts and repair services. Product development contract revenue includes revenue arising from different types of contractual arrangements, including cost-type contracts and fixed-price contracts. Product revenue primarily includes sales of the Company's products.
Product Development Contract Revenue
Cost-type contracts – Research, development and/or testing service contracts, including cost-plus-fixed-fee and time and material contracts, relate primarily to the development of our robotics systems and related technology. Cost-type contracts are generally entered into with the U.S. government. These contracts are billed at cost plus a margin as defined by the contract and Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”). The FAR establishes regulations around procurement by the government and provides guidance on the types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services delivered under government contracts. Revenue on cost-type contracts is recognized over time as goods and services are provided.
Fixed-price contracts – Fixed-price development contracts relate primarily to the development of technology in the area of robotic platforms. Fixed-price development contracts generally require a significant service of integrating a complex set of tasks and components into a single deliverable. Revenue on fixed-price contracts is generally recognized over time as goods and services are provided. To the extent the Company’s actual costs vary from the fixed fee, we will generate more or less
85
profit or could incur a loss. The Company will recognize losses at the contract level in earnings in the period in which they are incurred.
Product Revenue
Product revenue relate to sales of the Company’s commercially available products, and certain miscellaneous parts, accessories and repair services. The Company provides a limited one-year warranty on product sales. Product warranties are considered assurance-type warranties and are not considered to be separate performance obligations. Product revenue is recognized at the point in time when ownership of the goods is transferred, generally at the time of shipment to the customer. At the time product revenue is recognized, an accrual is established for estimated warranty expenses based on historical experience as well as anticipated product performance.

Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billing, and cash collection results in the recognition of accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, contract assets, and deferred revenue in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Cash funds received in excess of revenue recognized that is contingent upon the satisfaction of performance obligations is accounted for as deferred revenue.
Contract assets include unbilled receivables which are amounts resulting from timing differences between revenue recognition and billing in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, which typically occur subsequent to revenue being recognized.

The Company recorded its current contract assets, long-term contract assets and current deferred revenue within prepaid expenses and other current assets, other non-current assets, and accrued liabilities, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized all of the deferred revenue which existed at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Remaining performance obligations
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had backlog, or revenue related to remaining performance obligations, of $ 3.5 million. The Company expects most of this backlog to be recognized over the next 12 months .
Research and Development Costs
Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred for experimentation, design and testing and are expensed as incurred.
86
Sales and Marketing Costs
Marketing costs include product demonstration, customer service, lead generation, public relations, market research and internal labor, and are expensed as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company calculates the fair value of all stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards on the date of grant. The Company values stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the use of a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally four years. The Company records forfeitures as they occur.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred income taxes related primarily to differences between the tax bases and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes represent future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. The Company determines its valuation allowance on deferred tax assets by considering both positive and negative evidence, including its operating results, ongoing tax planning and forecasts of future taxable income on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, to ascertain whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realized. In the event the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, it would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. Conversely, in the event that all or part of the net deferred tax assets are determined not to be realizable in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be charged to earnings in the period such determination is made.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time as the Company is no longer considered to be an EGC. The adoption dates discussed below reflect this election.
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the previous guidance, and improving the consistent application of and simplification of other areas of the guidance. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2022 , using a prospective approach. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did no t have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 - Leases (Topic 842), which requires companies to recognize on the consolidated balance sheet assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases. The FASB has subsequently issued supplemental and clarifying ASUs inclusive of ASU 2020-05, which updated the effective date for “all other” entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted ASC 842 effective January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective transition method as allowed under ASU 2018-11 which includes the ability to recognize the cumulative effect of the adoption being recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings on January 1, 2022. Prior period results will continue to be presented under ASC 840 as it was the accounting standards in effect for such periods. The Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients that allows entities to forgo reassessing at the transition date: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) whether unamortized initial direct costs for existing leases meet the definition of initial direct costs under the new guidance. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient. The Company elected the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component and elected the short-term lease exemption for all contracts with lease terms of 12 months of less. Due to the adoption of this guidance, the Company recognized operating right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities of $ 10.1 million and $ 12.2 million, respectively, as of the date of adoption. The difference between the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is primarily due to the accrual for lease payments as a result of straight-line lease expense. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and comprehensive loss or cash flows.
87
Recently Issued Accounting Standard Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB Issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new standard requires financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, with early application permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition and financial statement disclosures.
2. Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset, or an exit price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy defines a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:
Level 1—Fair value is based on observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2—Fair value is determined using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or are directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3—Fair value is determined using one or more significant inputs that are unobservable in active markets at the measurement date, such as an option pricing model, discounted cash flow or similar technique.
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
On a recurring basis, the Company measures certain of its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis was determined using the following inputs:

As of December 31, 2022, the Company held $ 79.3 million of available-for-sale debt securities with maturity dates within one year. The fair value of the Company's available-for-sale debt securities approximates their amortized cost basis. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts of accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values because of the relatively short periods until they are required to be settled.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period in which a change in valuation technique or methodology occurs. During the first quarter of 2022 the trading price of our public warrants was used to value our private placement warrants, and a third-party valuation was no longer deemed necessary resulting in the estimated fair value of our private placement warrants being transferred from a Level 3 fair value measurement to a Level 2 fair value measurement.

5. Acquisition
On April 25, 2022, the Company acquired RE2, Inc. a Pittsburgh, PA based developer of autonomous and teleoperated mobile robotic systems. This acquisition significantly increased our engineering team and added additional products and target markets to the Company’s total addressable market. The aggregate consideration transferred was $ 90.1 million, of which $ 30.7 million was paid in cash, $ 44.0 million was comprised of 9,372,674 shares of common stock and $ 15.4 million was comprised of assumed options to purchase 3,877,039 shares of common stock. Additionally, 1,400,000 shares of common stock were issued with a fair value of $ 6.6 million at the time of grant. These shares are subject to risk of forfeiture which lapses in full four years after the acquisition date. These shares were excluded from the consideration transferred and are recorded as stock-based compensation expense.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and the total purchase consideration was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their fair values on the acquisition date and the excess was recorded as goodwill. The values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on preliminary estimates of fair value available as of the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements and may be adjusted during the measurement period of up to 12 months from the date of acquisition as further information becomes available. Any changes in the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the measurement period may result in adjustments to goodwill. As of December 31, 2022, the primary areas that remain preliminary relate to the valuation of certain intangible items and various tax implications resulting from the acquisition.

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets that could not be individually identified and separately recognized, such as the acquired assembled workforce and synergies expected to be achieved from the integration of RE2. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
The results of operations of RE2 from the date of acquisition have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Pro forma revenue and results of operations have not been presented because the historical results of RE2 are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in any period presented.

As a result of sustained decreases in the Company’s publicly quoted share price the Company conducted an analysis of its goodwill as of December 31, 2022. The Company identified indicators of goodwill impairment for its single reporting unit and concluded that a triggering event had occurred which required a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment. The primary indicators of impairment were the sustained decreases in the Company’s publicly quoted share price and market capitalization.
The Company estimated the reporting unit's fair value under an income approach using a discounted cash flow model. The income approach used the reporting unit's projections of estimated operating results and cash flows that were discounted using a market participant discount rate based on the weighted-average cost of capital. The main assumptions supporting the cash flow projections include, but are not limited to, revenue growth, margins, discount rate, and terminal growth rate. The financial projections reflect management's best estimate of economic and market conditions over the projected period, including forecasted revenue growth, margins, capital expenditures, depreciation and amortization.
Based on the Company's quantitative goodwill impairment test, that it performed during the fourth quarter of 2022, it concluded that the carrying value of its reporting unit exceeded its fair value and that goodwill was fully impaired as of December 31, 2022. The Company recorded a $ 70.2 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

7. Notes Payable
Old Sarcos received two unsecured loans under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) administered by the Small Business Administration, pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. The first loan, with a principal amount of $ 2.4 million, was received in April 2020, and the second loan, with a principal amount of $ 2.0 million, was received in March 2021. These PPP loans had an interest rate of 1.00 % per year. The first PPP loan of $ 2.4 million was forgiven during June 2021, and the second PPP loan of $ 2.0 million was forgiven during November 2021. As of December 31, 2022, the Company did no t have any outstanding debt.
8. Reverse Recapitalization
Pursuant to ASC 805, Business Combinations , the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, rather than a business combination, for financial accounting and reporting purposes. Accordingly, Old Sarcos was deemed the accounting acquirer (and legal acquiree) and Rotor was treated as the accounting acquiree (and legal acquirer). Under this method of accounting, the reverse recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Old Sarcos issuing stock for the net assets of Rotor, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Rotor are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The consolidated assets, liabilities, and results of operations prior to the Merger are those of Old Sarcos. The shares and corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share available for common stockholders, prior to the Merger, have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the Exchange Ratio.
Earn-Out Shares
Each holder of Old Sarcos capital stock (including the Old Sarcos RSA) is entitled to a right to Contingent Merger Consideration following the closing of the Business Combination in the form of earn-outs, up to an aggregate of 28,125,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Earn-Out Shares”). The Earn-Out Shares will become payable as follows:
• 14,062,500 shares of Common Stock of the Company in the aggregate if the closing share price of a share of Common Stock of the Company is equal to or exceeds $ 15.00 for 20 trading days in any 30 consecutive trading day period at any time during the period beginning on the first anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date.
• 14,062,500 shares of Common Stock of the Company if the closing share price of a share of Common Stock of the Company is equal to or exceeds $ 20.00 for 20 trading days in any 30 consecutive trading day period at any time during the period beginning on the first anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date.
The Earn-Out Shares issuable to holders of Old Sarcos capital stock are accounted for as equity-linked instruments and recorded in additional paid-in capital, and the Earn-Out Shares issuable to holders of Old Sarcos capital stock subject to restricted stock awards are accounted for as share-based compensation. The Earn-Out Shares are treated as equity-linked instruments as opposed to shares outstanding, and as such are not included in shares outstanding on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2022 , there were 28,125,000 Earn-Out Shares outstanding .

Immediately following the Business Combination, the Company had 137,589,275 shares issued and outstanding of Common Stock. The following table presents the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Business Combination:

(1) The number of Old Sarcos shares was determined from the 21,483,286 shares of Old Sarcos Common Stock warrants, Common Stock and Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, which are presented net of the Common and Preferred Stock redeemed, converted at the Exchange Ratio of 5.129222424 . This excludes a restricted stock award for 5,129,222 shares that was unvested as of the date of the Business Combination. All remaining fractional shares, after cumulating shares by stockholder, were rounded down.
In connection with the Merger, the Company incurred direct and incremental costs of approximately $ 32.9 million r elated to legal, accounting and other professional fees, which were deducted from the Company’s additional paid-in capital as a reduction of cash proceeds rather than expensed as incurred and $ 1.1 million of transaction costs that were recorded to operating expenses within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
9. Warrants
On January 31, 2020, Old Sarcos issued 250,000 Class A Common Stock warrants to one of the Series C Preferred Stock investors, at an exercise price of $ 11.3243 per share with an expiration date of January 31, 2030 . Immediately prior to the Effective Time, all of the issued and outstanding warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of Class A Stock of Old Sarcos warrants were net exercised and then upon the Closing were exchanged for shares of the Company’s Common Stock in an amount determined by application of the Exchange Ratio, as discussed in Note 1.
On January 20, 2021, Rotor consummated the initial public offering (“IPO”) of 27,600,000 units (the “Units”), including the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. Each Unit included one share of Class A Common Stock and one half of one warrant (the “Public Warrants”). Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, Rotor consummated the sale of 7,270,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) in a private placement to Rotor Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), an affiliate of Rotor’s officers and directors, and certain funds and accounts managed by two qualified institutional buyers. At the Closing Date, Old Sarcos acquired the net liabilities from Rotor, including the Public Warrants, that were recorded as equity instruments, and the Private Placement Warrants, that were recorded as warrant liabilities (together the “Warrants”).
Each whole Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on January 20, 2022, provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) covering the shares of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) entered into between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and Rotor and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, a Warrant holder may exercise its Warrants only for a whole number of shares of the Company's Common Stock. The Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination, or September 24, 2026 , at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. As of December 31, 2022 , there were 20,549,453 Warrants outstanding.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No Warrant will be exercisable, and the Company will not be obligated to issue a share of Common Stock upon exercise of a Warrant unless the share of the Company's Common Stock issuable upon such Warrant exercise has been registered, qualified
94
or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the Warrants. If the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Warrant, the holder of such Warrant will not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and such Warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any Warrant. In the event a registration statement is not effective for the exercised Warrants, the purchaser in the Rotor IPO of a Unit containing such Warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the Unit solely for the share of the Company's Common Stock underlying such Unit.
Except as described herein, the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, subject to certain exceptions. The initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, have the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis.
Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Share of the Company's Common Stock Equals or Exceeds $ 18.00 . Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the Warrants for redemption:
• in whole and not in part;
• at a price of $ 0.01 per Warrant;
• upon not less than 30 days ’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each Warrant holder; and
• if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the shares of the Company's Common Stock for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period commencing after the Warrants become exercisable and ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders (which is referred to as the “Reference Value”) equals or exceeds $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like).
If and when the Warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. However, the Company will not redeem the Warrants unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of the Company's Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of the Company's Common Stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period.
Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Share of Our Common Stock Equals or Exceeds $ 10.00 . Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants if the Company does not utilize this redemption provision):
• in whole and not in part;
• at $ 0.10 per Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days ’ prior written notice of redemption; provided that holders will be able to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to an agreed table based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of the Company's Common Stock;
• if, and only if, the Reference Value (as defined above) equals or exceeds $ 10.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like); and
• if the Reference Value is less than $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms (except as described above with respect to a holder’s ability to cashless exercise its Warrants) as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.

(a) In connection with the acquisition of RE2, the Company assumed certain outstanding options to acquire RE2 common stock which, following such assumption, were converted to options to acquire 3.9 million shares of the Company's Common Stock at a we ighted-average exercise price of $ 1.05 per share.
For options granted during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the weighted-average grant-date fair value was $ 0.96 and $ 4.79 per option, respectively.
96
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model for estimating the fair value of options granted, which requires the input of subjective assumptions. The Company calculates the fair value of each option grant on the grant date using the following assumptions:
Expected Term— Options granted generally vest over a period of 48 months and expire 10 years from date of grant. The Company uses the simplified method when calculating expected term due to insufficient historical information.
Expected Volatility—Due to insufficient historical information the Company uses a blended approach when calculating expected volatility. The Company uses its historic data for the periods it has been publicly-traded and a benchmark of other comparable public companies’ volatility rates.
Expected Dividend Yield—The dividend yield used is zero as the Company does not have a history of paying dividends on its Common Stock and does not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.
Risk-Free Interest Rate—The interest rates used are based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award.
The Company calculated the fair value of options granted under the 2021 Plan on the respective dates of grant using the following weighted average assumptions:

Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets, including temporary differences and net operating loss carryforwards, to the amount expected to be realized in the future. FASB guidance indicates that forming a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed is difficult when there is negative evidence such as cumulative losses in recent years. The Company had cumulative losses from continuing operations in the United States for the three-year period ended December 31, 2022. The Company considered this negative evidence along with all other available positive and negative evidence and concluded that, at December 31, 2022, it is more likely than not that the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2022, a valuation allowance has been recorded on the Company’s deferred tax assets to recognize only the portion of the deferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be recognized. The Company’s total valuation allowance was $ 44.5 million at December 31, 2022 and $ 35.5 million at December 31, 2021. The Company’s valuation allowance increased $ 9.1 million and $ 20.3 million during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 , respectively. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the valuation allowance is as follows:

As of December 31, 2022 , the Company had cumulative federal net operating losses of approximately $ 141.3 million. Of these losses, $ 7.5 million were generated in 2015 through 2017, prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enactment, and will expire between 2035 to 2037 if not utilized. The remaining net operating losses have an indefinite carryforward period. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had cumulative federal net operating losses of approximately $ 90.1 million.
As of December 31, 2022 , the Company had a $ 6.6 million deferred tax asset related to a federal research and development credit carryforward.
