NOTE 3 LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN ANALYSIS

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

During the second quarter of 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This update provided U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. Under this standard, the Company is required to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern each reporting period, including interim periods. In evaluating the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, management considered the conditions and events that could raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months after the Company’s financial statements were issued ( April 1, 2026). Management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows and the Company’s obligations due before April 1, 2026.

 

The Company is subject to a number of risks, including uncertainty related to product development and generation of revenues and positive cash flow from its Sono Motors GmbH division and a dependence on outside sources of capital. The attainment of profitable operations is dependent on future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill the Company’s growth and operating activities and generating a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.

 

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash balances of EUR1.4 million, a working capital deficit of EUR22.9 million and an accumulated deficit of EUR(321.4) million. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had net income of EUR65.0 million, which includes a gain from deconsolidation/reconsolidation. The Company used cash from operating activities of EUR(14.7) million. The Company expects to continue to incur small net losses and have net cash outflows for at least the next 12 months, offset by cash flows from financing activities.

 

Management has evaluated the significance of the conditions described above in relation to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations and concluded that, if the additional funding commitment from YA II PN, Ltd (“Yorkville”) is achieved based upon the notification from Nasdaq of our uplisting to the Nasdaq Capital Market, which cannot be guaranteed, the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its obligations within one year from the date of the consolidated financial statements. Based upon this uncertainty, Management has concluded that there is substantial doubt that the company will continue as a going concern.
