+Added: and Procedures
+Added: We maintain disclosure controls and procedures
+Added: (as defined in paragraph (e) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that the information we are required

+Added: Management excluded its wholly-owned subsidiary, World Energy Efficiency Services, LLC from its

+Added: business combination during 2021.
+Added: Based on this evaluation, including the presence of material weaknesses
+Added: as discussed below, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2021.
−Removed: (b) Management’s
−Removed: Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
−Removed: Our management is responsible
−Removed: for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules
−Removed: 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f).
−Removed: Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision
−Removed: of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, and effected by our board of directors, management and other
−Removed: personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
−Removed: for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
−Removed: Internal control over financial reporting
−Removed: cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving their objectives.
−Removed: Internal control over financial reporting is a process that
−Removed: involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgement and breakdowns resulting from human failures.
−Removed: their inherent limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by
−Removed: internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: It is possible to design safeguards to reduce, but not eliminate, this risk.
−Removed: is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our company.
−Removed: Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all
−Removed: misstatements or fraud.
−Removed: Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide
−Removed: only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met.
−Removed: Management has used
−Removed: the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring
−Removed: Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), known as COSO, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control
−Removed: over financial reporting.
−Removed: As a private company,
−Removed: we had not been required to document and test our internal controls over financial reporting nor had management been required to
−Removed: certify the effectiveness of our internal controls and our auditors had not been required to opine on the effectiveness of our
−Removed: internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: Similarly, we had not been subject to the SEC’s internal control reporting requirements.
−Removed: Following the Business Combination, we became subject to these requirements.
−Removed: In the course of
−Removed: preparing the Company’s financial statements, we have identified material
−Removed: weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, which relate to insufficient technical accounting resources and lack of
−Removed: segregation of duties.
−Removed: A material weakness
−Removed: is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility
−Removed: that a material misstatement of its financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
−Removed: These deficiencies
−Removed: could result in misstatements to our financial statements that would be material and would not be prevented or detected on a timely
−Removed: Our management has concluded that these
−Removed: material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting are due to the fact that, prior to this Annual Report on Form
−Removed: 10-K, we were a private company with limited resources.
−Removed: We did not have the necessary business processes and related internal
−Removed: controls, or the appropriate resources or level of experience and technical expertise, that would be required to oversee financial
−Removed: reporting processes or to address the accounting and financial reporting requirements.
−Removed: Our management has prepared a remediation
−Removed: plan instituted in 2021 that involves hiring additional qualified personnel, further documentation and implementation of control
−Removed: procedures and the implementation of control monitoring.
−Removed: The material weaknesses will not be considered fully remediated until these
−Removed: additional controls and procedures have operated effectively for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through
−Removed: testing, that these controls are effective.
−Removed: Our management will monitor the effectiveness of our remediation plans and will make
−Removed: changes management determines to be appropriate.
−Removed: If not remediated, these
−Removed: material weaknesses could result in material misstatements to our annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented
−Removed: or detected on a timely basis, or in delayed filing of required periodic reports.
−Removed: If we are unable to assert that our internal control
−Removed: over financial reporting is effective, or when required in the future, if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable
−Removed: to express an unqualified opinion as to the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence
−Removed: in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our Common Stock could be adversely affected and we could
−Removed: become subject to litigation or investigations by the NYSE, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial
−Removed: and management resources.
−Removed: Notwithstanding the identified
−Removed: material weaknesses, management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present
−Removed: fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods present in accordance
−Removed: This Annual Report
−Removed: on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
−Removed: Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Dodd-Frank
−Removed: Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which permits us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report
−Removed: on Form 10-K.
−Removed: (c) Changes in Internal
−Removed: Control over Financial Reporting
−Removed: As discussed above,
−Removed: we are implementing certain measures to remediate the material weaknesses identified in the design and operation of our internal
+Added: Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses,
+Added: management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all material
+Added: respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods present in accordance with U.S.
+Added: In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures,
+Added: management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable
+Added: assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
+Added: In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the
+Added: fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible
+Added: controls and procedures relative to their costs.
+Added: Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
+Added: A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies
+Added: in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of its financial
+Added: statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
+Added: These deficiencies could result in misstatements to our financial statements
+Added: that would be material and would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
+Added: In the course of preparing the financial statements for the year ended
+Added: December 31, 2021, we identified separate material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, which relates to the ineffective
+Added: design and implementation of Information Technology General Controls (“ITGC”) combined with the lack of properly designed
+Added: management review controls to compensate for these deficiencies.
+Added: The Company’s ITGC deficiencies included improperly designed controls
+Added: pertaining to user access rights and segregation of duties over systems that are critical to the Company’s system of financial reporting.
+Added: The Company’s management review controls include the review and approval of journal entries, account reconciliations, accounting
+Added: estimates, and other technical accounting matters.
+Added: The Company did not maintain sufficient evidence of certain of these review control
+Added: The ITGC deficiencies, combined with a lack of properly designed and implemented management review controls to compensate
+Added: for these deficiencies, represent material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as there is a reasonable
+Added: possibility that a material misstatement with respect to the Company’s significant accounts and disclosures will not be prevented
+Added: or detected on a timely basis.
+Added: Remediation Plan
+Added: Our management is in the process of developing
+Added: a remediation plan.
+Added: As of December 31, 2020, we had identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that related
+Added: to the accounting for equity instruments, insufficient technical accounting resources and lack of segregation of duties.
+Added: we took steps to remediate these weaknesses through, among other things, (1) the hiring of a Chief Financial Officer;
+Added: (2) the hiring of
+Added: a Certified Public Accountant as the controller who had experience with public company reporting and technical accounting;
+Added: (3) the hiring
+Added: of a Senior Director of SOX Compliance with experience in internal control environments and design;
+Added: (4) hiring third party professionals
+Added: to perform a comprehensive assessment of the Company’s internal controls, including design and gap assessments;
+Added: and (5) the hiring
+Added: of additional finance personnel to enable processes with appropriate segregation of duties.
+Added: The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until management designs and implements effective controls
+Added: that operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are effective.
+Added: Our management
+Added: will monitor the effectiveness of our remediation plans and will make changes management determines to be appropriate.
+Added: While we believe that these efforts will improve our internal controls
+Added: over financial reporting, the implementation of these measures is ongoing and will require validation and testing of the design and operating
+Added: effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles.
+Added: We believe we are making progress toward achieving the effectiveness
+Added: of our internal controls and disclosure controls.
+Added: The actions that we are taking are subject to ongoing management review, as well as
+Added: audit committee oversight.
+Added: We will not be able to conclude whether the steps we are taking will fully remediate these material weaknesses
+Added: in our internal control over financial reporting until we have completed our remediation efforts and subsequent evaluation of their effectiveness.
+Added: We will continue to assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and take steps to remediate the known material
+Added: weaknesses expeditiously.
+Added: REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
+Added: ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
+Added: To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
+Added: XL Fleet Corp.
+Added: and Subsidiaries
+Added: Adverse Opinion on Internal Control over
+Added: Financial Reporting
+Added: We have audited XL Fleet Corp.
+Added: and Subsidiaries’
+Added: (the "Company") internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal
+Added: Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
+Added: In our opinion,
+Added: because of the effect of the material weaknesses described in the following paragraph on the achievement of the objectives of the control
+Added: criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria
+Added: established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
+Added: A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination
+Added: of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
+Added: of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
+Added: The following material weaknesses
+Added: have been identified and included in “Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”:
+Added: Company has not established an effective control environment due to the ineffective design and implementation of Information Technology
+Added: General Controls (“ITGC”) and management review controls.
+Added: The Company’s ITGC deficiencies included improperly designed
+Added: controls pertaining to user access rights and segregation of duties over systems that are critical to the Company’s system of financial
+Added: The Company’s management review controls include the review and approval of journal entries, account reconciliations,
+Added: accounting estimates, and other technical accounting matters.
+Added: The Company did not maintain sufficient evidence of these review control
+Added: The ITGC deficiencies, combined with a lack of properly designed management review controls to compensate for these deficiencies,
+Added: represent a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as there is a reasonable possibility that
+Added: a material misstatement with respect to the Company’s significant accounts and disclosures will not be prevented or detected on
+Added: a timely basis.
+Added: These material weaknesses were considered in determining
+Added: the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the fiscal 2021 consolidated financial statements, and this report
+Added: does not affect our report dated March 1, 2022 on those financial statements.
+Added: We have also audited, in accordance with the
+Added: standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated balance sheets as of
+Added: December 31, 2021 and 2020and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows
+Added: for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022 of the Company and our report dated March 1, 2022 expressed an unqualified
+Added: opinion on those financial statements.
+Added: Explanatory Paragraph – Excluded Subsidiary
+Added: As described in “Management Annual Report
+Added: on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting,” management has excluded its wholly owned subsidiary, World Energy Efficiency Services,
+Added: LLC, from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 because this entity was acquired by the
+Added: Company in purchase business combinations during 2021.
+Added: We have also excluded World Energy Efficiency Services, LLC from our audit of internal
control over financial reporting.
−Removed: Other than those measures, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial
−Removed: reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31,
−Removed: 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: This subsidiary’s total assets and total revenues represent approximately 1% and 82%, respectively,
+Added: of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021.
+Added: Basis for Opinion
+Added: The Company's management is responsible for
+Added: maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
+Added: financial reporting, included in the accompanying "Management Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting." Our
+Added: responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
+Added: We are a public
+Added: accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.
+Added: securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
+Added: We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards
+Added: of the PCAOB.
+Added: Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal
+Added: control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
+Added: Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included
+Added: obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing
+Added: and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.
+Added: Our audit also included performing
+Added: such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
+Added: We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
+Added: Definition and Limitations of Internal Control
+Added: over Financial Reporting
+Added: A company's internal control over financial reporting
+Added: is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
+Added: statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
+Added: A company's internal control over financial
+Added: reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately
+Added: and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
+Added: (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions
+Added: are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
+Added: that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
+Added: and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition
+Added: of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
+Added: Because of the inherent limitations, internal
+Added: control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
+Added: Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
+Added: periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that degree of compliance with
+Added: the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
+Added: March 1, 2022
+Added: Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
+Added: As discussed above, we are implementing certain measures to remediate
+Added: the material weakness identified in the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: Other than those measures,
+Added: there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
+Added: under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
+Added: affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
+Added: Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute
+Added: assurance of achieving their objectives.
+Added: Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance
+Added: and is subject to lapses in judgement and breakdowns resulting from human failures.
+Added: Due to their inherent limitations, there is a risk
+Added: that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: It is possible
+Added: to design safeguards to reduce, but not eliminate, this risk.
+Added: Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
+Added: control over financial reporting for our company.
+Added: Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may
+Added: not prevent or detect all misstatements or fraud.
+Added: Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain
+Added: assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met.

−Removed: To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

−Removed: Opinion on the Financial Statements
−Removed: We have audited the accompanying
−Removed: consolidated balance sheets of XL Fleet Corp.
−Removed: and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related
−Removed: consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’
−Removed: equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years in the
−Removed: period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
−Removed: In our opinion,
−Removed: the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019,
−Removed: and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with
−Removed: accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
−Removed: Basis for Opinion
−Removed: These financial statements are
−Removed: the responsibility of the Company's management.
−Removed: Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based
−Removed: on our audits.
−Removed: We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB")
−Removed: and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.
−Removed: federal securities laws and the applicable
−Removed: rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
−Removed: We conducted our audits in accordance
−Removed: with the standards of the PCAOB.
−Removed: Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
−Removed: the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
−Removed: The Company is not required to have, nor were
−Removed: we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding
−Removed: of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal
−Removed: control over financial reporting.
−Removed: Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
−Removed: Our audits included performing
−Removed: procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
−Removed: that respond to those risks.
−Removed: Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
−Removed: financial statements.
−Removed: Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
−Removed: as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
−Removed: We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for

−Removed: subsidiary of Pivotal (“Merger Sub”), and Legacy XL.
−Removed: Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination

−Removed: (the “Closing”), Pivotal Investment Corporation II changed its name to XL Fleet Corp.

−Removed: (See Note 3).
−Removed: COVID-19 Worldwide Pandemic:
−Removed: On March 11, 2020, the World
−Removed: Health Organization characterized the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic and recommended
−Removed: containment and mitigation measures.
−Removed: Since then, extraordinary actions have been taken by international, federal, state, and local
−Removed: public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 in regions throughout the
−Removed: These actions include travel bans, quarantines, “stay-at-home”
−Removed: orders, and similar mandates for many individuals
−Removed: to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations.
−Removed: Consistent with the actions taken by governmental authorities, the
−Removed: Company has taken appropriately cautious steps to protect its workforce and support community efforts.
−Removed: As part of these efforts,
−Removed: and in accordance with applicable government directives, the Company initially implemented work from home policies where practical
−Removed: at its facilities in late March 2020.
−Removed: Starting late March 2020, approximately 40 of its employees were able to complete their duties
−Removed: from home, which enabled much critical work to continue.
−Removed: The remaining 19 members of its workforce were unable to perform their
−Removed: normal duties from home.
−Removed: In April 2020, the Company resumed limited operations under revised operational and manufacturing plans
−Removed: that conform to the latest COVID-19 health precautions.
−Removed: This includes universal facial covering requirements, rearranging facilities
−Removed: to follow social distancing protocols, conducting regular temperature checks and undertaking regular and thorough disinfecting
−Removed: of surfaces and tools.
−Removed: However, the COVID-19 pandemic and the continued precautionary actions taken related to COVID-19 have adversely
−Removed: impacted, and are expected to continue to adversely impact, its operations, its contractors and the automotive original equipment
−Removed: manufacturers.
−Removed: The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience,
−Removed: reduced operations and production line shutdowns at vehicle OEMs due to COVID-19, limitations on travel by the Company’s
−Removed: personnel and personnel of the Company’s customers, and future delays or shutdowns of vehicle OEMs or the Company’s

−Removed: The COVID-19 pandemic and the protocols and procedures the Company
−Removed: has implemented in response to the pandemic have caused some delays in operational activities.
−Removed: The full impact of the COVID-19
−Removed: pandemic on its business and results of operations subsequent to December 31, 2020 will depend on future developments, such as
−Removed: the ultimate duration and scope of the outbreak and its impact on its operations and impact on its customers and industry partners.
−Removed: The Company believes its cash and cash equivalents
−Removed: on hand at December 31, 2020 and management’s operating plan, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund its operations for at least
−Removed: the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements.
−Removed: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
−Removed: Basis of consolidated financial statement presentation:
−Removed: financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.
−Removed: GAAP”).
−Removed: The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries
−Removed: and variable interest entities, for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.
−Removed: Because the Company holds certain rights that
−Removed: provide the power to direct the activities of variable interests that most significantly impact the VIE economic performance, as
−Removed: well as to potentially receive benefits or the obligation to absorb potentially significant losses, the Company has a controlling
−Removed: interest in such VIEs.
−Removed: See Note 9, “New Markets Tax Credit,”
−Removed: for the discussion of financing arrangements involving
−Removed: certain entities that are variable interest entities that are included in these consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: All significant
−Removed: intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
−Removed: Emerging Growth Company:
−Removed: Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart
−Removed: Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised
−Removed: financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act of 1933 registration
−Removed: statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)
−Removed: are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards.
−Removed: The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to
−Removed: opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any
−Removed: such election to opt out is irrevocable.
−Removed: The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means
−Removed: that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company,
−Removed: as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard,
−Removed: until such time the Company is no longer considered to be an emerging growth company.
−Removed: At times, the Company may elect to early
−Removed: adopt a new or revised standard.

−Removed: (Amounts in thousands, except
−Removed: share and per share data)
−Removed: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
−Removed: Use of estimates:
−Removed: The preparation of financial statements
−Removed: in conformity with U.S.
−Removed: GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
−Removed: assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, as well as reported amounts
−Removed: of expenses during the reporting period.
−Removed: The Company’s most significant estimates and judgments involve deferred income taxes,
−Removed: valuation of share-based compensation, including the fair value of common stock, the valuation of the convertible notes payable
−Removed: derivative liability, and the valuation of business combinations, including the fair values and useful lives of acquired assets
−Removed: and assumed liabilities and the fair value of purchase consideration.
−Removed: Management bases its estimates on historical experience and
−Removed: on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
−Removed: values of assets and liabilities.
−Removed: Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the
−Removed: Company’s financial statements.
−Removed: Segment information:
−Removed: ASC 280, Segment Reporting, defines
−Removed: operating segments as components of an enterprise where discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly
−Removed: by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
−Removed: XL operates a single integrated business operation for the purpose of providing electrification systems for the owners of vehicles.
−Removed: XL’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is the CODM of the Company.
−Removed: The CODM is provided financial and operating
−Removed: information for the integrated business as a whole.
−Removed: Upon receipt of such information, the CODM evaluates and manages the operations
−Removed: based upon such integrated information, and the CODM utilizes this integrated information for purposes of allocating resources
−Removed: and evaluating XL’s financial performance.
−Removed: The CODM uses cash flows as the primary measure to manage the business and does
−Removed: not segment the business for internal reporting or decision making.
−Removed: Based upon this information, the Company has concluded that
−Removed: it should report its operations as a single segment.
−Removed: Concentration of Credit Risk:
−Removed: Financial instruments which
−Removed: potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and trade receivables.
−Removed: At times, such cash may
−Removed: be in excess of the FDIC limit.
−Removed: At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had cash in excess of the $250 federally insured limit.
−Removed: The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
−Removed: With respect to trade receivables, the Company routinely assesses
−Removed: the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that the receivable credit risk exposure is limited.
−Removed: of December 31, 2020, one customer accounted for approximately 82% of accounts receivable.
−Removed: In 2019, two customers accounted for
−Removed: approximately 64% of accounts receivable.
−Removed: For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, one customer and two customers accounted
−Removed: for approximately 68% and 65% of revenues, respectively.
−Removed: Cash and cash equivalents:
−Removed: The Company considers all highly
−Removed: liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
−Removed: Cash and cash equivalents
−Removed: include cash held in banks and money market accounts.
−Removed: Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to
−Removed: their short-term nature.
−Removed: The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are placed with high-credit quality financial institutions
−Removed: and issuers, and at times exceed federally insured limits.
−Removed: To date, the Company has not experienced any credit loss relating to
−Removed: its cash and cash equivalents.
−Removed: Restricted cash:
−Removed: Restricted cash held at both December 31,
−Removed: 2020 and 2019, consists of bank deposits required for a letter of credit which is reserved for the Company’s California lease.
−Removed: Accounts receivable:
−Removed: Accounts receivable are stated at the
−Removed: gross invoice amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.
−Removed: The allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained at a level considered
−Removed: adequate to provide for potential account losses on the balance based on management’s evaluation of the anticipated impact
−Removed: of current economic conditions, changes in the character and size of the balance, past and expected future loss experience, among
−Removed: other pertinent factors.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded an allowance of doubtful accounts of $0.

−Removed: Inventory is comprised of raw materials, work in
−Removed: process and finished goods.
−Removed: Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (determined using the weighted-average cost method) or net
−Removed: realizable value.
−Removed: Cost of raw material inventories include the purchase and related costs incurred in bringing the products to their
−Removed: present location and condition.
−Removed: The Company uses consistent methodologies to evaluate inventory for net realizable value and
−Removed: periodically reviews inventories for obsolescence and any inventories identified as slow moving or obsolete are initially reserved
−Removed: for and then written-off.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s inventory reserve for obsolescence was $58 and
−Removed: $248, respectively.
−Removed: Fair value measurements:
−Removed: ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements
−Removed: and Disclosures, clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or
−Removed: paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
−Removed: As such, fair value is a market-based measurement
−Removed: that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
−Removed: for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring
−Removed: fair value as follows:
−Removed: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company can access at the measurement date.
−Removed: Significant other observable inputs other than level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
−Removed: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s judgment about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
−Removed: An asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement
−Removed: level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
−Removed: Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

−Removed: The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash
−Removed: equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, contingent consideration liability, term loan and revolver
−Removed: debt, convertible notes payable derivative liability, and convertible notes payable.
−Removed: The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents,
−Removed: accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of those instruments.
−Removed: The fair value of the Company’s revolving line of credit and term loan are based on
−Removed: current lending rates for similar borrowings, assuming the debt is outstanding through maturity, and considering the collateral
−Removed: and as a result approximate their fair values.
−Removed: The Company estimates the fair value of its convertible notes payable using
−Removed: level two and level three inputs by discounting the future cash flows using current interest rates at which it could obtain similar
−Removed: borrowings in consideration of the estimated enterprise value of the Company.

−Removed: Furniture and fixtures
−Removed: Computer and related equipment
−Removed: Leasehold improvements
−Removed: Lesser of useful life of the asset or remaining life of the lease
−Removed: Improvements are capitalized while replacements, maintenance and

−Removed: in which the economic benefit of the asset is expected to be utilized.
−Removed: Amortization is recorded over the estimated useful lives,
−Removed: which for developed technology is 4 years.
−Removed: The Company evaluates the recoverability of its definite lived intangible assets whenever
−Removed: events or changes in circumstances or business conditions indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable
−Removed: based on expectations of future undiscounted cash flows for each asset group.
−Removed: If the carrying value of an asset or asset group
−Removed: exceeds its undiscounted cash flows, the Company estimates the fair value of the assets, generally utilizing a discounted cash
−Removed: flow analysis based on the present value of estimated future cash flows to be generated by the assets using a risk-adjusted discount

−Removed: Impairment of goodwill:
−Removed: Goodwill represents the excess of
−Removed: cost over the fair market value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses.
−Removed: Goodwill is not amortized
−Removed: but instead is annually tested for impairment, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
−Removed: of goodwill may be impaired.
−Removed: The Company has recorded goodwill in connection with its historical acquisition of a business.
−Removed: The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment assessment at
−Removed: October 1 each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or circumstances arise which indicate that goodwill may be impaired.
−Removed: assessment can be performed by first completing a qualitative assessment on the Company’s single reporting unit.
−Removed: can also bypass the qualitative assessment in any period and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test, and then resume
−Removed: the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period.
−Removed: Qualitative indicators that may trigger the need for annual or interim quantitative
−Removed: impairment testing include, among other things, deterioration in macroeconomic conditions, declining financial performance, deterioration
−Removed: in the operational environment, or an expectation of selling or disposing of a portion of the reporting unit.
−Removed: Additionally, a significant
−Removed: change in business climate, a loss of a significant customer, increased competition, a sustained decrease in share price, or a
−Removed: decrease in estimated fair value below book value may trigger the need for interim impairment testing of goodwill.
−Removed: If the Company believes that, as a result of its qualitative assessment,
−Removed: it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment
−Removed: test is required.
−Removed: The quantitative test involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including
−Removed: If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recorded as a reduction to
−Removed: goodwill with a corresponding charge to earnings in the period the goodwill is determined to be impaired.
−Removed: The income tax effect
−Removed: associated with an impairment of tax-deductible goodwill is also considered in the measurement of the goodwill impairment.
−Removed: goodwill impairment is limited to the total amount of goodwill.
−Removed: The Company determines the fair value of its reporting unit using
−Removed: a combination of the income approach (discounted cash flow method) and market approach (guideline transaction method and guideline
−Removed: public company method).
−Removed: Management weighs each of the methods applied to determine the fair value of its reporting unit.
−Removed: Under the discounted cash flow method, the Company determines fair
−Removed: value based on the estimated future cash flows for the reporting unit, discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted industry
−Removed: weighted-average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk and the rate of return an outside investor
−Removed: would expect to earn.
−Removed: Cash flow projections are derived from budgeted amounts (typically a one-year model) and subsequent period
−Removed: cash flows are developed using growth rates that management believes are reasonably likely to occur from a market participant’s

−Removed: The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from the sales
−Removed: of hybrid electric powertrain systems.
−Removed: The Company’s products are marketed and sold to end-user fleet customers and channel
−Removed: partners in the United States and Canada.
−Removed: Sales of products and services are subject to economic conditions and may fluctuate based
−Removed: on changes in the industry, trade policies and financial markets.
−Removed: Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control to the customer,
−Removed: which occurs when the Company has a present right to payment, legal title has passed to the customer, the customer has the significant
−Removed: risks and rewards of ownership, and where acceptance is not a formality, the customer has accepted the product or service.
−Removed: transfer of control is upon shipment of the equipment as the terms are FOB shipping point, or equivalent and the Company has no
−Removed: other promised goods or services in its contracts with customers.
−Removed: In limited instances, the Company provides installation services
−Removed: to end-user fleet customers related to the purchased hybrid electric powertrain equipment.
−Removed: When provided, the installation services
−Removed: are not distinct within the context of the contract due to the fact that the end-use fleet customer is purchasing a completed modification
−Removed: to its vehicles and therefore, the installation services involve significant integration to integrate the hybrid electric powertrain
−Removed: equipment with the customer’s vehicle.
−Removed: As a result, the hybrid electric powertrain equipment and installation services represent
−Removed: a single performance obligation within these contracts with customers.
−Removed: The Company recognizes the revenue for the equipment sale
−Removed: and installation service at the same time, which is after the installation is complete.
−Removed: The Company has elected to treat shipping
−Removed: and handling activities related to contracts with channel partner customers as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the associated
−Removed: equipment and not as a separate performance obligation.
−Removed: The Company provides limited-assurance-type warranties for its equipment
−Removed: and work performed under its contracts.
−Removed: The warranty period typically extends for 3 years following transfer of control of the
−Removed: The warranties solely relate to correction of product defects during the warranty period, which is consistent with similar
−Removed: warranties by offered by competitors.
−Removed: Therefore, the Company has determined that this warranty is outside the scope of ASC 606
−Removed: and will continue to be accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees.
−Removed: At the time of purchase of the equipment, customers may
−Removed: purchase from the Company an extended warranty for its equipment.
−Removed: The extended warranty commences upon the end of the assurance-based
−Removed: warranty period and is considered a separate performance obligation that represents a stand-ready obligation to perform warranty
−Removed: services after the assurance-type warranty expires.
−Removed: The transaction price allocated to the extended warranty is recognized ratably
−Removed: over the extended warranty period.
−Removed: When the Company’s contracts with customers contain multiple
−Removed: performance obligations, the contract transaction price is allocated on a relative standalone selling price (SSP) basis to each
−Removed: performance obligation.
−Removed: The Company determines standalone selling prices based on observable selling prices for the sale of its
−Removed: For extended warranties, the Company determines SSP based on expected cost plus margin.
−Removed: The Company establishes the margin

−Removed: The Company’s sales can in certain instances include non-cash consideration
−Removed: in the form of the customer transferring to the Company, the customer’s rights to cash incentives from programs administered
−Removed: by municipalities related to hybrid vehicle programs that a customer is entitled as a result of its purchase.
−Removed: The incentives are

−Removed: The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded product warranty
−Removed: liabilities and adjusts the balances as required.
−Removed: Warranty expense is recorded as a component of cost of product revenue in the

−Removed: loss carry-forwards and credits.
−Removed: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates in effect for the year in

−Removed: Stock Options
−Removed: The Company accounts for stock-based compensation related to these
−Removed: awards based on the fair value of the awards.
−Removed: The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value

−Removed: The fair value of the internally developed technology was
−Removed: estimated using the replacement cost method, whereby the components of the acquired internally developed technology were reviewed
−Removed: to determine the cumulative cost of development for each component, inclusive of a developer’s profit and an entrepreneurial
−Removed: The cumulative cost of development was then discounted to account for obsolescence factor.

−Removed: In addition, the Company defers certain costs incurred to obtain a contract (contract costs).
−Removed: Costs to obtain a contract:
−Removed: Sales commissions paid to internal
−Removed: sales personnel, as well as associated payroll taxes and retirement plan contributions (together, sales commissions and associated
−Removed: costs) that are incremental to the acquisition of customer contracts, are capitalized as capitalized contract acquisition cost
−Removed: on the balance sheet when the period of benefit is determined to be greater than one year.
−Removed: In instances where an extended warranty
−Removed: is sold, the period of benefit would extend beyond 12 months and therefore, the practical expedient would not be met for those
−Removed: contracts and require capitalization of the related costs to obtain those contracts.
−Removed: The Company has elected to allocate the capitalized
−Removed: commissions to performance obligations on a relative basis (i.e., in proportion to the transaction price allocated to each performance
−Removed: obligation) to determine the period of amortization.
−Removed: As a result, substantially all of the commission is allocated to the combined
−Removed: equipment and installation performance obligation and is amortized upon transfer of control of this performance obligation, which
−Removed: typically occurs in same period in which commission liability is incurred.
−Removed: Total commission expense recognized during the years
−Removed: ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $105 and $226, respectively.

−Removed: New Markets Tax Credit Financing
−Removed: On March 4, 2015, the Company entered into a financing transaction
−Removed: Bancorp Community Development Corporation (U.S.
−Removed: Bank) under a qualified New Markets Tax Credit (“NMTC”) program
−Removed: related to the operation of the Company’s facility in Quincy, Illinois.
−Removed: The NMTC program was provided for in the Community
−Removed: Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 (the Act) and is intended to encourage capital investment in qualified lower income communities.
−Removed: The Act permits taxpayers to claim credits against their Federal income taxes for up to 39% of qualified investments in the equity
−Removed: of community development entities (CDEs).
−Removed: CDEs are privately managed investment institutions that are certified to make qualified
−Removed: low-income community investments.
−Removed: In connection with the financing, the Company made two loans
−Removed: totaling $10,454 to federal ($6,455 at 1.51%) and state ($3,999 at 1.53%) NMTC investment funds (the Investment Funds).
−Removed: Simultaneously,
−Removed: Bank made an equity investment of $4,995 to the Investment Funds and, by virtue of such contribution, is entitled to substantially
−Removed: all of the tax benefits derived from the NMTC.
−Removed: For compliance with the NMTC rules, principal payments on the loan do not begin
−Removed: until June 10, 2025 (the NMTC rules prohibit principal payments during the 7-year term of the NMTC arrangement).
−Removed: The maturity date
−Removed: on the loans is December 31, 2044.
−Removed: The Investment Funds then contributed the loan proceeds to a CDE,
−Removed: which, in turn, loaned combined funds of $15,000, net of debt issuance costs of $546, to XL Hybrid Quincy, LLC, a wholly-owned
−Removed: subsidiary of the Company, at an interest rate of 1.15% per year with a maturity date of March 4, 2045.
−Removed: These loans are secured
−Removed: by the leasehold improvements and equipment at the facility in Quincy, Illinois.
−Removed: Repayment of the loans commences in March 10,
−Removed: The proceeds from the loans from the CDE were used to partially fund the build-out of the facility in Quincy, Illinois.
−Removed: The transaction includes a put/call feature whereby, at the end
−Removed: of the seven-year NMTC compliance period, the Company may be obligated or entitled to repurchase U.S.
−Removed: Bank’s equity interest
−Removed: in the Investment Funds.
−Removed: The Company believes that U.S Bank will exercise the put option in March 2022 at the end of the recapture
−Removed: The value attributable to the put/call is anticipated to be nominal.
−Removed: The NMTC is subject to 100% recapture for a period
−Removed: of seven years as provided in the Internal Revenue Code.
−Removed: The Company is required to be in compliance with various regulations and
−Removed: contractual provisions that apply to the NMTC arrangement.
−Removed: Non-compliance with applicable requirements could result in US Bank’s
−Removed: projected tax benefits not being realized and, therefore, could require the Company to indemnify US Bank for any loss or recapture
−Removed: of NMTCs related to the financing until such time as the obligation to deliver tax benefits is relieved.
−Removed: The Company does not anticipate
−Removed: any credit recapture will be required in connection with this financing arrangement.
−Removed: The Company has determined that the financing arrangement with the
−Removed: Investment Fund and CDEs contains a variable interest entity (“VIE”).
−Removed: This conclusion was reached based on the following:
−Removed: ● The ongoing activities of the Investment Fund –
−Removed: collecting and
−Removed: remitting interest and fees and NMTC compliance –
−Removed: were all considered in the initial design and are expected to significantly
−Removed: affect the economic performance throughout the life of the Investment Fund;
−Removed: ● management considered the contractual arrangements that obligate the
−Removed: Company to comply with NMTC rules and regulations, deliver tax benefits, and provide various other guarantees to the structure;
−Removed: Bank’s lack of a material interest in the underlying economics
−Removed: of the project as a result of the guarantees, indemnifications, and put/call options;
−Removed: ● the fact that the Company is obligated to absorb losses of the Investment

−Removed: Contingent consideration liability:
−Removed: The contingent consideration
−Removed: liability is considered a Level 3 measurement due to significant unobservable inputs in its valuation, which was based on the income
−Removed: approach using a Monte Carlo Simulation.
−Removed: The Monte Carlo Simulation evaluated the probability of occurrence of certain events which
−Removed: impacted the mode and amount of payments to be made.
−Removed: In addition, the payments were discounted based on current market expectations
−Removed: about those future amounts.
−Removed: The company utilized a third party to assist in calculating the fair value of the contingent consideration
−Removed: The key inputs to the valuation model that was utilized to estimate

−Removed: The convertible
−Removed: notes payable derivative liabilities are considered a Level 3 measurement due to the utilization of significant unobservable inputs
−Removed: in the valuation, which were based on ‘with and without’
−Removed: valuation models.
−Removed: Based on the terms and provisions of the 2019
−Removed: Notes, the Company utilized a probability-weighted expected return model (“PWERM”) to estimate the fair value
−Removed: of the embedded derivative features requiring bifurcation as of the respective issuance dates and as of the December 31, 2019
−Removed: reporting date.
−Removed: The PWERM is designed to utilize the Company’s best estimates of the timing and likelihood of the settlement
−Removed: events that are related to the embedded derivative features in order to estimate the fair value of the respective convertible notes
−Removed: with these embedded derivative features.
−Removed: The fair value of the convertible notes with the derivative features
−Removed: is compared to the fair value of a plain vanilla note (excluding the derivative features), which is calculated based on the present
−Removed: value of the future cash flows.
−Removed: The difference between the two values represents the fair value of the bifurcated derivative features
−Removed: as of each respective valuation date.
−Removed: The Company notes that the key inputs to the valuation models that
−Removed: were utilized to estimate the fair value of the 2019 Notes convertible debt derivative liabilities included:
−Removed: ● The probability-weighted conversion discount is based on the
−Removed: contractual terms of the convertible note agreement and the expectation of the pre-money valuation of the Company as of the
−Removed: estimated date that the next equity financing event occurs.
−Removed: ● The remaining term was determined based on the remaining time period
−Removed: to maturity of the related convertible note with embedded features subject to valuation (as of the respective valuation date).
−Removed: ● The Company’s equity volatility estimate was based on the re-levered historical
−Removed: equity volatility of a selection of the Company’s comparable guideline public companies, based on the remaining term of the
−Removed: respective convertible notes.
−Removed: ● The risk rate was the discount rate utilized in the valuation and
−Removed: was determined based on reference to market yields for debt instruments with similar credit ratings and terms.
−Removed: ● The probabilities and timing of the next financing event and default
−Removed: even are based on management’s best estimate of the future settlement of the respective convertible notes.
