NOTE 3 – GRANT FUNDS RECEIVABLE

 

On February 15, 2023, we were awarded a $21.9 million grant from the California Energy Commission (“CEC”), which provides for the reimbursement of certain capital investments and operating costs related to battery and solar and production applications for our vehicle, subject to milestone achievements. Reimbursement requests made by us are recorded as grant funds receivable and other income, net of a 10% retention amount, which CEC holds until there is evidence of project completion. None of the amount retained by the CEC is recognized as other income. The project and grant reimbursement period concludes in the first quarter of 2027. Completion of the project requires us to meet significant milestones in the future, the probability of which is uncertain, particularly as milestone schedules are subject to ongoing discussion and revision based on the timing of required capital funding. 

 

Through December 31, 2025, the Company has submitted reimbursement requests totaling approximately $3.9 million. Of this amount, approximately $3.2 million has been received in cash. The remaining balance of approximately $0.7 million had not been collected as of December 31, 2025. Because the release of these funds is contingent upon meeting specific future milestones, and because the timing and size of future capital raises is uncertain, the Company recorded a full allowance against this $0.7 million receivable as of period end.

 

The Company expects to recognize additional income and receive disbursements under the grant only upon the successful financing and achievement of these future milestones.
