NOTE 1 –DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business

Mullen Automotive, Inc. (“MAI”, “Mullen”, “we” or the “Company”) is a development-stage electronic vehicle (EV) manufacturer. The Company operated as the EV division of Mullen Technologies, Inc. (“MTI”) until November 5, 2021, at which time the Company underwent a capitalization and corporate reorganization by way of a spin-off by MTI to its shareholders, followed by a reverse merger with and into Net Element, Inc. (“NETE”).

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mullen Investment Properties, LLC. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated, if any. As of September 30, 2021, Mullen Investment Properties, LLC is only a shell entity.

The financial statements reflect the financial position and results of operations of Mullen, which have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

As MTI has not historically prepared financial statements for Mullen, and Mullen did not exist as a legal entity prior to November 5, 2021, these financial statements have been prepared from the financial records of MTI on a carve-out basis. The consolidated balance sheets include all of the MAI Assets. The consolidated Statements of operations for each of the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, reflect all expenses and activities directly attributable to MAI, and an allocation of MTI’s general and administrative expenses incurred in each of those years, as these expenditures were shared by MAI. In some instances, certain expenses were not allocated as they would have related directly to MAI. All inter-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The equity capital presented in the financial statements reflect the retrospective application of the November 5, 2021 capitalization and corporate reorganization arising from the merger transaction with NETE.

These financial statements have been prepared based upon the historical cost amounts recorded by MTI. These financial statements may not be indicative of MAI financial performance and do not necessarily reflect what its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows would have been had Mullen operated as an independent entity during the years presented.
