AYRO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
AYRO, Inc. (“AYRO” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation formerly known as DropCar, Inc. (“DropCar”), a corporation headquartered outside Austin, Texas, is the merger successor discussed below of AYRO Operating Company, Inc., which was formed under the laws of the State of Texas on May 17, 2016 as Austin PRT Vehicle, Inc. and subsequently changed its name to Austin EV, Inc. under an Amended and Restated Articles of Formation filed with the State of Texas on March 9, 2017. On July 24, 2019, the Company changed its name to AYRO, Inc. and converted its corporate domicile to Delaware. The Company was founded on the basis of promoting resource sustainability. The Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, are principally engaged in manufacturing and sales of environmentally-conscious, minimal-footprint electric vehicles. The all-electric vehicles are typically sold both directly and to dealers in the United States.
Merger
On
May 28, 2020, pursuant to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 19, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”),
by and among AYRO, Inc., a Delaware corporation previously known as DropCar, Inc., ABC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and AYRO Operating Company (“AYRO Operating”), a Delaware
corporation previously known as AYRO, Inc., Merger Sub was merged with and into AYRO Operating, with AYRO Operating continuing after
the merger as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). At the effective time of
the Merger, without any action on the part of any stockholder, each issued and outstanding share of AYRO Operating’s common stock,
par value $ per share (“AYRO Operating Common Stock”), including shares underlying AYRO Operating’s outstanding
equity awards and warrants, was converted into the right to receive
The Merger was treated as a reverse recapitalization effected by a share exchange for financial accounting and reporting purposes because substantially all of DropCar, Inc.’s operations were disposed of as part of the consummation of the Merger and therefore no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded by the Company as a result of the Merger. AYRO Operating was treated as the accounting acquirer as its stockholders controlled the Company after the Merger, even though DropCar, Inc. was the legal acquirer. As a result, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in our consolidated financial statements are those of AYRO Operating as if AYRO Operating had always been the reporting company.
| F-5 |
On December 19, 2019, DropCar entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with DC Partners Acquisition, LLC (“DC Partners”), Spencer Richardson and David Newman, pursuant to which DropCar agreed to sell substantially all of the assets associated with its business of providing vehicle support, fleet logistics and concierge services for both consumers and the automotive industry to an entity controlled by Messrs. Richardson and Newman, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Business Development Officer at the time, respectively. The aggregate purchase price for the purchased assets consisted of the cancellation of certain liabilities pursuant to those certain employment agreements by and between DropCar and each of Messrs. Richardson and Newman, plus the assumption of certain liabilities relating to, or arising out of, workers’ compensation claims that occurred prior to the closing date of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
NOTE 2. LIQUIDITY AND OTHER UNCERTAINTIES
Liquidity and Other Uncertainties
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States (“GAAP”), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company is subject
to a number of risks similar to those of earlier stage commercial companies, including dependence on key individuals and products, the
difficulties inherent in the development of a commercial market, the potential need to obtain additional capital, competition from larger
companies, other technology companies and other technologies. The Company has a limited operating history and the sales and income potential
of its business and market are unproven. The Company incurred net losses of $
Since early 2020, when the World Health Organization declared the spread of the transmissible and pathogenic coronavirus a global pandemic, there have been business slowdowns and decreased demand for AYRO products. The outbreak of such a communicable disease has resulted in a widespread health crisis which has adversely affected general commercial activity and the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the United States. As the outbreak of the disease has continued through 2020 and into 2021, the measures taken by the governments of countries affected has adversely affected the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. The pandemic had an adverse impact on AYRO’s sales and the demand for AYRO products in 2020 and in the first and second quarters of 2021, resulting in sales that were less than expected in the first half of 2021. AYRO expects the pandemic to continue to have an adverse impact on sales and demand for products throughout the remainder of 2021.
NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conformity with the instructions on Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
| F-6 |
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, AYRO Operating and DropCar Operating Company, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such statements. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021, as amended on April 30, 2021.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
The Company’s most significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventory reserve, valuation of deferred tax asset allowance, and the measurement of stock-based compensation expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings or cash flows as previously reported.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Nature of goods and services
The following is a description of the Company’s products and services from which the Company generates revenue, as well as the nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, and significant payment terms for each:
Product revenue
Product revenue from customer contracts is recognized on the sale of each electric vehicle as vehicles are shipped to customers. The majority of the Company’s vehicle sales orders generally have only one performance obligation: sale and delivery of complete vehicles. Ownership and risk of loss transfers to the customer based on FOB shipping point and freight charges are the responsibility of the customer. Revenue is typically recognized at the point control transfers or in accordance with payment terms customary to the business. The Company provides product warranties to assure that the product assembly complies with agreed upon specifications. The Company’s product warranty is identical to the product warranties provided by the Company’s suppliers, therefore minimizing the warranty liability to the standard labor rates associated with the defective part replacement. Customers do not have the option to purchase a warranty separately; as such, warranty is not accounted for as a separate performance obligation. The Company’s policy is to exclude taxes collected from a customer from the transaction price of automotive contracts.
Shipping revenue
Amounts
billed to customers related to shipping and handling are classified as shipping revenue. The Company has elected to recognize the cost
for freight and shipping when control over vehicles has transferred to the customer as an operating expense. The Company has reported
shipping expenses of $
Subscription revenue
Subscription revenue from revenue sharing with Destination Fleet Operators (“DFO”) and other vehicle rental agreements is recorded in the month the vehicles in the Company’s fleet is rented. The Company established its rental fleet in late March 2019 which is recorded in the property and equipment section of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the rental fleet, the Company retains title and ownership to the vehicles and places them in DFO’s in resort communities that typically rent golf cars for use in those communities. In August 2020, the Company phased-out the production of its 311 line which were the vehicles used in the rental offering as it is working to develop a new line of vehicles. The change in production did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations or financial results.
Services and other revenue
Services and other revenue consist of non-warranty after-sales vehicle services. Revenue is typically recognized at a point in time when services and replacement parts are provided.
The accounting treatment of warrants and preferred share series issued is determined pursuant to the guidance provided by ASC 470, Debt, ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as applicable. Each feature of a freestanding financial instruments including, without limitation, any rights relating to subsequent dilutive issuances, dividend issuances, equity sales, rights offerings, forced conversions, optional redemptions, automatic monthly conversions, dividends and exercise are assessed with determinations made regarding the proper classification in the Company’s financial statements.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The Company recognizes all employee share-based compensation as an expense in the financial statements on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, based on the terms of the awards. Equity-classified awards principally related to stock options, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and equity-based compensation, are measured at the grant date fair value of the award. The Company determines grant date fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of RSAs is determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. For service based vesting grants, expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period based on the number of options or shares. Stock-based compensation is reversed for forfeitures in the period of forfeiture.
In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Unit (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 expands the guidance in ASC 718 to include share-based payments for goods and services to non-employees and generally aligns it with the guidance for share-based payments to employees. In accordance with ASU 2018-07, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the underlying equity instrument. The attribution of the fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense over the period during which services are rendered.
| F-7 |
Basic and diluted net loss per share is determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding during the period. For all periods presented with a net loss, the shares underlying the ordinary share options and warrants have been excluded from the calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, the weighted-average shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted loss per share are the same for periods with a net loss. “Penny warrants” were included in the calculation of outstanding shares for purposes of basic earnings per share.
On
May 28, 2020, pursuant to the previously announced Merger Agreement, dated December 19, 2019, the Company issued prefunded common stock

Contract Liabilities
The Company recognizes a contract liability when a consideration is received, or if the Company has the unconditional right to receive consideration, in advance of satisfying the performance obligation. A contract liability is the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration, or an amount of consideration is due from the customer.
The table below details the activity in the Company’s contract liabilities as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The balance at the end of each period is reported as contract liability in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Warranty Reserve
The Company records a reserve for warranty repairs upon the initial delivery of vehicles to its dealer network. The Company provides a product warranty on each vehicle including powertrain, battery pack and electronics package. Such warranty matches the product warranty provided by its supply chain for warranty parts for all unaltered vehicles and is not considered a separate performance obligation. The supply chain warranty does not cover warranty-based labor needed to replace a part under warranty. Warranty reserves include management’s best estimate of the projected cost of labor to repair/replace all items under warranty. The Company reserves a percentage of all dealer-based sales to cover an industry-standard warranty fund to support dealer labor warranty repairs.
Such
percentage is recorded as a component of cost of revenues in the statement of operations. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020,
warranty reserves were recorded within accrued expenses of $

Company considers the change in exercise price due to the anti-dilution trigger related to the Series H-5 Warrants to be of an equity
nature, as the issuance allowed the warrant holders to exercise warrants in exchange for common stock, which represents an equity for

The amount of future stock option compensation expense could be affected by any future option grants or by any forfeitures.
Determining the appropriate fair value of the stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, and for stock options, the expected life of the option, and the expected stock price volatility. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards.

The expected life of the employee stock options was estimated using the “simplified method,” as the Company has no historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and employment duration for its stock option grants. No employee stock options were awarded in the six months ended June 30, 2021.
| F-19 |
The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. The expected life of awards that vest immediately use the contractual maturity since they are vested when issued. For stock price volatility, the Company uses public company compatibles and historical private placement data as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of option grants. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected life of the option at the grant-date.

Lease Agreements
In 2019 the Company entered into a new lease agreement for office and manufacturing space. The lease commencement date was January 16, 2020. Prior to the commencement date of the new lease agreement, the Company leased other office and manufacturing space on a short-term basis. The Company determined if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the contract and whether a contract is or contains a lease by determining whether it conveys the right to control the use of identified asset for a period of time. The contact provides the right to substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset and the right to direct use of the identified asset, as such, the contract is, or contains, a lease. In connection with the adoption of ASC 842, Leases, the Company has elected to treat the lease and non-lease components as a single component.
During
March 2021, the Company subleased additional office space to support the Company’s expansion plan. The term is for 16 months with
a total lease obligation of $
Leases were classified as an operating lease at inception. An operating lease results in the recognition of a Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets and lease liability on the balance sheet. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term as of the commencement date. Because the lease does not provide an explicit or implicit rate of return, the Company determines incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments on an individual lease basis.
The
incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest the Company would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount
equal to the lease payments for the asset under similar term, which is
The
Company’s leases do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Leases with a lease term of 12

Overview
Merger
On May 28, 2020, pursuant to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 19, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among AYRO, Inc., a Delaware corporation previously known as DropCar, Inc., ABC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and AYRO Operating Company, a Delaware corporation previously known as AYRO, Inc. (“AYRO Operating”), Merger Sub was merged with and into AYRO Operating, with AYRO Operating continuing after the merger as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger, without any action on the part of any stockholder, each issued and outstanding share of AYRO Operating’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “AYRO Operating Common Stock”), including shares underlying AYRO Operating’s outstanding equity awards and warrants, was converted into the right to receive 1.3634 pre-split and pre-stock dividend shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Company Common Stock”). Upon completion of the Merger and the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement and assuming the exercise in full of all pre-funded warrants issued pursuant thereto, (i) the former AYRO Operating equity holders (including the investors in a bridge financing and private placements that closed prior to closing of the Merger) owned approximately 79% of the outstanding equity of the Company; (ii) former DropCar stockholders owned approximately 18% of the outstanding equity of the Company; and (iii) a financial advisor to DropCar and AYRO owned approximately 3% of the outstanding equity of the Company.
| 2 |
The Merger was treated as a reverse recapitalization effected by a share exchange for financial accounting and reporting purposes since substantially all of DropCar, Inc.’s operations were disposed of as part of the consummation of the Merger and therefore no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded by the Company as a result of the Merger. AYRO Operating is treated as the accounting acquirer as its stockholders control the Company after the Merger, even though DropCar, Inc. was the legal acquirer. As a result, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in our consolidated financial statements are those of AYRO Operating as if AYRO Operating had always been the reporting company.
Reverse Stock Split and Stock Dividend
On May 28, 2020, immediately following the effective time of the Merger, we effected a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, at a ratio of one share for ten shares (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Immediately following the Reverse Stock Split, we issued a stock dividend of one share of the Company’s common stock for each outstanding share of common stock to all holders of record immediately following the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split (the “Stock Dividend”).
The net result of the Reverse Stock Split and the Stock Dividend was a 1-for-5 reverse stock split. We made proportionate adjustments to the per share exercise price and/or the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or vesting of all stock options, restricted stock units (if any) and warrants outstanding as of the effective times of the Reverse Stock Split and the Stock Dividend in accordance with the terms of each security based on the split or dividend ratio. Also, we reduced the number of shares reserved for issuance under our equity compensation plans proportionately based on the split and dividend ratios. Except for adjustments that resulted from the rounding up of fractional shares to the next whole share, the Reverse Stock Split and Stock Dividend affected all stockholders uniformly and did not change any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company. The Reverse Stock Split did not alter the par value of Company Common Stock, $0.0001 per share, or modify any voting rights or other terms of the common stock. Except as otherwise set forth herein, share and related option or warrant information presented in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations have been adjusted to reflect the reduced number of shares outstanding, the increase in share price which resulted from these actions or otherwise to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split and the Stock Dividend.
Closing of Asset Purchase Agreement
On December 19, 2019, DropCar entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with DC Partners Acquisition, LLC (“DC Partners”), Spencer Richardson and David Newman, pursuant to which DropCar agreed to sell substantially all of the assets associated with its business of providing vehicle support, fleet logistics and concierge services for both consumers and the automotive industry to an entity controlled by Messrs. Richardson and Newman, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Business Development Officer at the time, respectively. The aggregate purchase price for the purchased assets consisted of the cancellation of certain liabilities pursuant to those certain employment agreements by and between DropCar and each of Messrs. Richardson and Newman, plus the assumption of certain liabilities relating to, or arising out of, workers’ compensation claims that occurred prior to the closing date of the Asset Purchase Agreement. On May 28, 2020, the parties to the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement Amendment”), which Asset Purchase Agreement Amendment (i) provides for the inclusion of up to $30,000 in refunds associated with certain insurance premiums as assets being purchased by DC Partners, (ii) amends the covenant associated with the funding of the DropCar business, such that DropCar provided the DropCar business with additional funding of $175,000 at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement and (iii) provides for a current employee of the Company being transferred to DC Partners to provide transition services to the Company for a period of three months after the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Asset Purchase Agreement closed on May 28, 2020, immediately following the consummation of the Merger.

Business
Prior to the Merger, DropCar provided consumer and enterprise solutions to urban automobile-related logistical challenges. Following the Merger, we design and manufacture compact, sustainable electric vehicles for closed campus mobility, urban and community transport, local on-demand and last mile delivery, and government use. Our four-wheeled purpose-built electric vehicles are geared toward commercial customers including universities, business and medical campuses, last mile delivery services and food service providers. We are currently designing our next-generation three-wheeled vehicle to support the above-listed markets.
Products
AYRO vehicles provide the end user an environmentally friendly alternative to internal combustion engine vehicles (cars powered by gasoline or diesel oil), for light duty uses, including low-speed logistics, maintenance and cargo services, at a lower total cost. The majority of our sales are comprised of sales of our four-wheeled vehicle to Club Car, a division of Ingersoll Rand, Inc. (“Club Car”), through a strategic arrangement entered into in early 2019. We plan to continue growing our business through our experienced management team by leveraging our supply chain, allowing us to scale production without a large capital investment.
Manufacturing License Agreement with Cenntro
In 2017, AYRO Operating partnered with Cenntro Automotive Group, Ltd. (“Cenntro”), which operates a large electric vehicle factory in the automotive district in Hangzhou, China, in a supply chain agreement to provide sub-assembly manufacturing services. Through the partnership, Cenntro initially acquired 19% in 2017 of AYRO Operating’s common stock. Cenntro beneficially owned approximately 4.38% of our common stock as of December 31, 2020.Cenntro owns the design of the AYRO 411 Fleet vehicles and has granted us an exclusive license to purchase the AYRO 411 Fleet vehicles for sale in North America.
Under our Manufacturing License Agreement with Cenntro (the “MLA”), in order for us to maintain our exclusive territorial rights pursuant to the MLA, for the first three years after the effective date of March 22, 2020, we must meet the following minimum purchase requirements, which we believe we satisfied for the initial period: (i) a minimum of 300 units sold by the first anniversary of the effective date of the MLA; (ii) a minimum of 800 units sold by the second anniversary of the effective date of the MLA; and (iii) a minimum of 1,300 units sold by the third anniversary of the effective date of the MLA.
Cenntro will determine the minimum sale requirements for the years thereafter. Should any event of default occur, the other party may terminate the MLA by providing written notice to the defaulting party, who will have 90 days from the effective date of the notice to cure the default. Unless waived by the party providing notice, a failure to cure the default(s) within the 90-day time frame will result in the automatic termination of the MLA. Events of default under the MLA include a failure to make a required payment when due, the insolvency or bankruptcy of either party, the subjection of either party’s property to any levy, seizure, general assignment for the benefit of creditors, and a failure to make available or deliver the products in the time and manner provided for in the MLA. We are dependent on the MLA, and in the event of its termination our manufacturing operations and customer deliveries would be materially impacted.

Master Procurement Agreement with Club Car
In March 2019, AYRO Operating entered into a five-year Master Procurement Agreement(the “MPA”), with Club Car for the sale of our four-wheeled vehicle. The MPA grants Club Car the exclusive right to sell AYRO’s four-wheeled vehicle in North America, provided that Club Car orders at least 500 vehicles per year. Although Club Car did not meet the volume threshold for 2020, we currently do not intend to sell our four-wheeled vehicles other than exclusively through Club Car. Under the terms of the MPA, we receive orders from Club Car dealers for vehicles of specific configurations, and AYRO invoices Club Car once the vehicle has shipped. The MPA has an initial term of five (5) years commencing January 1, 2019 and may be renewed by Club Car for successive one-year periods upon 60 days’ prior written notice. Pursuant to the MPA, we granted Club Car a right of first refusal for sales of 51% or more of AYRO Operating’s assets or equity interests, which right of first refusal is exercisable for a period of 45 days following AYRO Operating’s delivery of an acquisition notice to Club Car. We also agreed to collaborate with Club Car on new products similar to our four-wheeled vehicle and improvements to existing products and granted Club Car a right of first refusal to purchase similar commercial utility vehicles we develop during the term of the MPA. We are currently engaged in discussions with Club Car to develop additional products to be sold by Club Car in Europe and Asia but there can be no assurance that these discussions will be successful. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, revenues from Club Car constituted approximately 39% and 59% of our revenue, respectively. Any loss of, or a significant reduction in purchases by, Club Car that constitutes a significant portion of our sales could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.
Manufacturing Services Agreement with Karma
On September 25, 2020, we entered into a Master Manufacturing Services Agreement (the “Karma Agreement”) with Karma Automotive LLC (“Karma”), pursuant to which Karma agreed to provide certain manufacturing services for the production of our vehicles. The initial statement of work provides that Karma will perform assembly of a certain quantity of the AYRO 411 vehicles and provide testing, materials management and outbound logistics services. For such services in the initial statement of work, we agreed to pay $1.2 million to Karma, of which (i) $0.52 million was paid at closing and (ii) $0.64 million is due and payable five months following the satisfaction of certain production requirements. The Karma Agreement expires (i) 12 months from the start of volume production of the vehicles or (ii) such earlier time as the parties mutually agree in writing. In addition, Karma, in its sole discretion, may terminate the Karma Agreement at any time, without cause, upon twelve months’ prior written notice. We may terminate the Karma Agreement, without cause, upon six months’ prior written notice.
On February 24, 2021, the Karma Agreement was amended to allow Karma to assemble a certain number of units of the AYRO 411 vehicle. Karma began assembling production units in June of 2021.
Supply Agreement with Gallery Carts
During 2020, we entered into a supply agreement with Gallery Carts, a leading provider of food and beverage kiosks, carts, and mobile storefront solutions (the “Gallery Agreement). Joint development efforts have led to the launch of the parties’ first all-electric configurable mobile hospitality vehicle for “on-the-go” venues across the United States. This innovative solution permits food, beverage and merchandising operators to bring goods directly to consumers.
The configurable Powered Vendor Box, in the rear of the vehicle, features long-life lithium batteries that power the preconfigured hot/cold beverage and food equipment and is directly integrated with the Club Car 411. The canopy doors, as well as the full vehicle, can be customized with end-user logos and graphics to enhance the brand experience. Gallery, with 40 years of experience delivering custom food kiosk solutions, has expanded into mobile electric vehicles as customers increasingly want food, beverages and merchandise delivered to where they are gathering. For example, a recent study conducted by Technomic found that a large majority of students, 77%, desired alternative mobile and to-go food options on campus.
Gallery Carts, a premier distributor of Club Car 411 low-speed electric vehicles manufactured by AYRO, has a diverse clientele throughout mobile food, beverage and merchandise distribution markets, for key customer applications such as university, corporate and government campuses, major league and amateur-level stadiums and arenas, resorts, airports and event centers. In addition to finding innovative and safe ways to deliver food and beverages to their patrons, reducing and ultimately eliminating their carbon footprint is a top priority for many of these customers.
Recent Developments
On January 25, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional and accredited investors, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell in a registered direct offering an aggregate of 3,333,334 shares at an offering price of $6.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $20.0 million before the deduction of fees and offering expenses. In a concurrent private placement, we sold to such investors warrants to purchase, at any time on or after July 26, 2021 and on or before July 26, 2023, additional shares of common stock equal to the full amount of the common stock it purchased at the initial closing, or an aggregate of 3,333,334 shares, at an exercise price of $6.93 per share.
| 5 |
In connection with the January 25, 2021, securities purchase agreement, we issued Palladium Capital Group, LLC (collectively with its affiliates, “Palladium”) a warrant to purchase 233,334 shares of common stock (which equals 7.0% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock sold in the January 2021 registered direct offering). The warrants issued to Palladium have the same terms as the investor warrants issued under the January 25, 2021, concurrent private placement.
On February 11, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional and accredited investors, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell in a registered direct offering an aggregate of 4,400,001 shares of common stock at an offering price of $9.50 per share, for gross proceeds of $41.8 million before the deduction of fees and offering expenses. Each purchaser was also granted an option to purchase, on or before February 16, 2022, additional shares of common stock equal to the full amount of 75% of the common stock it purchased at the initial closing, or an aggregate of 3,300,001 shares, at an exercise price of $11.50 per share.
Palladium and Spartan Capital Securities, LLC were entitled to a fee equal to 8% of the gross proceeds raised in the February 2021 registered direct offering and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 271,158 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $10.925 per share and 35,885 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $10.45 per share. The warrants are exercisable immediately following issuance and terminate five years following issuance.
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated July 21, 2020, during the six months ended June 30, 2021, investors purchased 302,500 additional shares of our common stock par value $0.0001 per share, at an offering price of $5.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $1.5 million.
Factors Affecting Results of Operations
Master Procurement Agreement
In March 2019, we entered into the MPA with Club Car. In partnership with Club Car and in interaction with its substantial dealer network, we have redirected our business development resources towards supporting Club Car’s enterprise and fleet sales function as Club Car proceeds in its new product introduction initiatives.
COVID-19 Pandemic
Our business, results of operations and financial condition have been adversely impacted by the recent coronavirus outbreak both in China and the United States. This has delayed our ability to timely procure raw materials from our supplier in China, which in turn, has delayed shipments to and corresponding revenue from customers. The pandemic and social distancing directives have interfered with our ability, and the ability of our employees, workers, contractors, suppliers and other business partners to perform our and their respective responsibilities and obligations relative to the conduct of our business. The COVID-19 pandemic poses restrictions on our employees’ and other service providers’ ability to travel on pre-sales meetings, customers’ abilities to physically meet with our employees and the ability of our customers to test drive or purchase our vehicles and shutdowns that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities, and we expect these restrictions to continue at least though the third quarter of 2021. The pandemic adversely impacted our sales and the demand for our products in 2020 and the first half of 2021 and is expected to continue adversely impacting demand for our products throughout the remainder of 2021.
Tariffs
Countervailing tariffs on certain goods from China continue to have an adverse impact on raw material costs and the Company believes this impact will continue throughout the remainder of 2021.
Supply Chain
Beginning in the second quarter of 2021, we offered a configuration of our 411x powered by lithium-ion battery technology. Additionally, our powered food box offerings are currently powered by lithium-ion battery technology. Our business depends on the continued supply of battery cells and other parts for our vehicles. During the first half of 2021, we have at times experienced a shortage of lithium-ion battery cells used to produce our vehicles, which has slowed our planned production of vehicles. We expect the shortage of lithium-ion battery cells to continue impacting our business through at least the end of 2021. In addition, we could be impacted by shortages of other products or raw materials, including silicon chips that we use or our suppliers use in the production of our vehicles or parts sourced for our vehicles.

Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
We derive revenue from the sale of our four-wheeled electric vehicles, and, to a lesser extent, shipping, parts and service fees. In the past we also derived rental revenue from vehicle revenue sharing agreements with our tourist destination fleet operators, or Destination Fleet Operators (“DFOs”), and, to a lesser extent, shipping, parts and service fees. Provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met, we typically recognize revenue upon shipment, as title and risk of loss are transferred to customers and channel partners at that time. Products are typically shipped to dealers or directly to end customers, or in some cases to our international distributors. These international distributors assist with import regulations, currency conversions and local language. Our vehicle product sales revenues vary from period to period based on, among other things, the customer orders received and our ability to produce and deliver the ordered products. Customers often specify requested delivery dates that coincide with their need for our vehicles.
Because these customers may use our products in connection with a variety of projects of different sizes and durations, a customer’s orders for one reporting period generally do not indicate a trend for future orders by that customer. Additionally, order patterns do not necessarily correlate amongst customers.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold primarily consists of costs of materials and personnel costs associated with manufacturing operations, and an accrual for post-sale warranty claims. Personnel costs consist of wages and associated taxes and benefits. Cost of goods sold also includes freight and changes to our warranty reserves. Allocated overhead costs consist of certain facilities and utility costs. We expect cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollar, as product revenue increases.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses consist of general and administrative, sales and marketing and research and development (“R&D”) expenses. Salaries and personnel-related costs, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense are the most significant components of each category of operating expenses. Operating expenses also include allocated overhead costs for facilities and utility costs.
Research and Development Expense
R&D expense consists primarily of employee compensation and related expenses, prototype expenses, depreciation associated with assets acquired for R&D, amortization of product development costs, product strategic advisory fees, third-party engineering and contractor support costs and allocated overhead. We expect our R&D expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest in new and existing products.
Sales and Marketing Expense
Sales and marketing expense consist primarily of employee compensation and related expenses, sales commissions, marketing programs, travel and entertainment expenses and allocated overhead. Marketing programs consist of advertising, tradeshows, events, corporate communications and brand-building activities. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we expand our sales force, expand our product lines, increase marketing resources, and further develop sales channels.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense consists primarily of employee compensation and related expenses for administrative functions including finance, legal, human resources and fees for third-party professional services, and allocated overhead. We expect our general and administrative expense to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest in growing our business.
| 7 |
Stock-based compensation
We account for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for share-based awards based on the estimated fair value on the date of grant.
The fair value of each stock option granted to employees is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the related stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The fair value of the options granted to non-employees is measured and expensed as the options vest.
Restricted stock grants are stock awards that entitle the holder to receive shares of our common stock as the award vests over time. The fair value of each restricted stock grant is based on the fair market value price of common stock on the date of grant, and it is measured and expensed as the options vest.
Other (Expense) Income
Other (expense) income consists of income received or expenses incurred for activities outside of our core business. Other expense consists primarily of interest expense.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes consists of estimated income taxes due to the United States government and to the state tax authorities in jurisdictions in which we conduct business. In the case of a tax deferred asset, we reserve the entire value for future periods.

Revenue
Revenue was $0.52 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $0.29 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of 82.6%, or $0.24 million. The increase in revenue was the result of an increase in sales pursuant to the Gallery Agreement of our vehicles, deriving from the MPA with Club Car, related powered-food box sales and other vehicle options. Revenue was impacted by the switchover from the original AYRO 411 model to the launch of the 411x, which was first delivered in June of 2021. While awaiting delivery of the new 411x model, sales declined during the month of May 2021. As discussed under “Factors Affecting Results of Operations,” the COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted sales and the demand for our vehicles during 2020 and the first half of 2021.
| 8 |
Cost of goods sold and gross profit
Cost of goods sold increased by $0.22 million, or 109% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020, corresponding with the increase in vehicle sales and an increase in time-of-order options for our vehicles and specialty products.
Gross margin percentage was 17.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to 28.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily due to an increase in tariffs on raw materials imported from China and an increase in shipping costs due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Vehicle sales prices were increased in January 2021 to partially offset these cost increases.
Research and development expense
R&D expense was $3.04 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $0.18 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $2.86 million. The increase was primarily due to expenses related to personnel costs for our engineering, design, and research teams as we expanded the suite of option packages for our vehicles and initiated development of our next-generation three-wheeled vehicle. We had an increase in salaries and related expenses of $0.25 million, an increase of $2.58 million from R&D contracting for professional service and design costs and a decrease in design and testing material of $0.04 million. This amount includes a vendor credit for materials of $0.05 million.
Sales and marketing expense
Sales and marketing expense was $0.67 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $0.24 million for the same period in 2020, as we expanded our sales and marketing staff and marketing-related initiatives surrounding our next-generation three-wheeled vehicle. Salaries and wages increased by $0.25 million and stock-based compensation increased by $0.02 million due to the addition of our sales and marketing resources. Discretionary marketing programs increased by $0.05 million and contracting for professional marketing services increased by $0.08 million. Additionally, depreciation expense for demonstration vehicles assigned to the sales and marketing team increased by $0.02 million as compared to the same period in 2020 due to a reclassification from general and administration expenses to sales and marketing expense for demonstration vehicles assigned to the sales and marketing team.
General and administrative expenses
The majority of our operating losses from continuing operations resulted from general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs associated with our overall operations and with being a public company. These costs include personnel, legal and financial professional services, insurance, investor relations, and compliance-related fees. General and administrative expense was $4.06 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $0.71 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $3.35 million. Contracting for professional services increased by $1.00 million primarily a result of additional audit, legal and investor relations expenses incurred to support public reporting requirements. This amount includes the cost of various expenses and an increase in consulting services of $0.25 million. Board compensation expense decreased by $0.04 million. Salaries and related costs increased by $0.36 million due to corporate expansion. Stock-based compensation expense increased by $1.47 million, primarily due to the expense of director and employee equity awards granted in 2020.
Depreciation decreased by $0.01 million, primarily driven by fully depreciating the tooling for our AYRO 311 product line during 2020 and the reclassification of depreciation expense for demonstration vehicles assigned to the sales and marketing team due to our redirection of our marketing focus in-house. Rent increased $0.06 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020 due to the additional rent expense related to our new office space.

Other income and expense
Interest expense decreased by $0.12 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to payoff of debt and loans during 2020. The decrease in the discount on debt is due to the debt recorded from the equity issuances associated with certain debt instruments issued prior to the Merger during the three months ended June 30, 2020. A loss on the extinguishment of debt related to the early redemption of a note was recorded for $0.35 million in 2020.
Six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to six months ended June 30, 2020

Revenue
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, total revenue increased to $1.31 million as compared to $0.43 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of 203%, or $0.88 million. The increase in revenue was the result of an increase in sales of our vehicles, deriving from our MPA with Club Car, related powered-food box sales pursuant to the Gallery Agreement and other vehicle options. As discussed under “Factors Affecting Results of Operations,” the COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted sales and the demand for our vehicles during 2020 and the first half of 2021.
Cost of goods sold and gross profit
Cost of goods sold increased by $0.76 million, or 237% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020, corresponding with the increase in vehicle sales and an increase in time-of-order options for our vehicles and specialty products.
Gross margin percentage was 18.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to 26.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily due to an increase in tariffs on raw materials imported from China and an increase in shipping costs due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Vehicle sales prices were increased in January 2021 to partially offset these cost increases.
| 10 |
Research and development expense
R&D expense was $4.97 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $0.34 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $4.63 million. The increase was primarily due to expenses related to personnel costs for our engineering, design, and research teams as we expanded the suite of option packages for our vehicles and initiated development of our next-generation three-wheeled vehicle in 2021.
We had an increase in salaries and related expenses of $0.44 million, an increase of $3.76 million from R&D contracting for professional service and design costs and an increase in design and testing material of $0.21 million. This amount includes a vendor credit for materials of $0.05 million.
Sales and marketing expense
Sales and marketing expense was $1.23 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $0.56 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $0.67 million or 120%. As we expanded our sales and marketing staff and marketing-related initiatives surrounding our next-generation three-wheeled vehicle. Salaries and wages increased by $0.34 million and stock-based compensation increased by $0.05 million due to the addition of our sales and marketing resources. Discretionary marketing programs increased by $0.1 million and contracting for professional marketing services increased by $0.13 million. Additionally, depreciation expense for demonstration vehicles assigned to the sales and marketing team increased by $0.05 million as compared to the same period in 2020 due to a reclassification from general and administration expenses to sales and marketing expense for demonstration vehicles assigned to the sales and marketing team.
General and administrative expenses
The majority of our operating losses from continuing operations resulted from general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs associated with our overall operations and with being a public company. These costs include personnel, legal and financial professional services, insurance, investor relations, and compliance-related fees. General and administrative expense was $7.36 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $1.96 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $5.40 million. Contracting for professional services increased by $0.89 million primarily a result of additional audit, legal and investor relations expenses incurred to support public reporting requirements. This amount includes an increase in consulting services of $0.02 million. Board compensation expense increased by $0.24 million. Salaries and related costs increased by $0.69 million due to corporate expansion. Stock-based compensation expense increased by $3.00 million, primarily due to the expense of director and employee equity awards granted in 2020. Other public company-related expenses increased by $0.21 million.
Depreciation decreased by $0.03 million, primarily driven by fully depreciating the tooling for our AYRO 311 product line during 2020 and the reclassification of depreciation expense for demonstration vehicles assigned to the sales and marketing team due to our redirection of our marketing focus in-house. Rent increased $0.01 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020 due to the additional rent expense related to our new office space.

A loss on the extinguishment of debt related to the early redemption of a bridge note was recorded for $0.35 million in 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our operating performance, and we believe it may be used by certain investors as a measure of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from operations before interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of discount on debt, impairment of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, (“GAAP”).
Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of equity instruments that can impact our non-cash operating expenses, we believe that providing a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes non-cash and non-recurring expenses allows for meaningful comparisons between our core business operating results and those of other companies, as well as providing us with an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating our own core business operating results over different periods of time.
Adjusted EBITDA may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or as an indication of operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. We do not consider Adjusted EBITDA to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2021, we had $87.90 million in cash and working capital of $87.72 million. As of December 31, 2020, we had $36.54 million in cash and working capital of $38.50 million. The increase in cash and working capital was primarily a result of our capital raising activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Our sources of cash since inception have been predominantly from the sale of equity and debt.
On January 25, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional and accredited investors, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell in a registered direct offering an aggregate of 3,333,334 shares at an offering price of $6.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $20.00 million before the deduction of fees and offering expenses. In a concurrent private placement, we sold to such investors warrants to purchase, at any time on or after July 26, 2021 and on or before July 26, 2023, additional shares of common stock equal to the full amount of the common stock it purchased at the initial closing, or an aggregate of 3,333,334 shares, at an exercise price of $6.93 per share.
On February 11, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional and accredited investors, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell in a registered direct offering an aggregate of 4,400,001 shares of common stock at an offering price of $9.50 per share, for gross proceeds of $41.80 million before the deduction of fees and offering expenses. Each purchaser was also granted the option to purchase, on or before February 16, 2022, additional shares of common stock equal to the full amount of 75% of the common stock it purchased at the initial closing, or an aggregate of 3,300,001 shares, at a purchase price of $11.50 per share.
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated July 21, 2020, during the six months ended June 30, 2021, investors purchased 302,500 of the Additional Shares of common stock of AYRO, par value $0.0001 per share, at an offering price of $5.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $1.5 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we issued 469,576 shares of common stock from the exercise of stock options and received cash proceeds of $1.2 million.
Our business is capital-intensive, and future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of our sales and marketing teams, the timing of new product introductions and the continuing market acceptance of our products and services. We may also use capital for strategic acquisitions or transactions.
We are subject to a number of risks similar to those of earlier stage commercial companies, including dependence on key individuals and products, the difficulties inherent in the development of a commercial market, the potential need to obtain additional capital, competition from larger companies, other technology companies and other technologies. Based on the foregoing, management believes that the existing cash at June 30, 2021, will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months following the date of this report.
Summary of Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows:
| For the Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
| Cash Flows: | ||||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (7,683,111 | ) | $ | (2,717,923 | ) | ||
| Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | $ | (536,053 | ) | $ | 2,808,292 | |||
| Net cash provided by financing activities | $ | 59,573,139 | $ | 7,185,929 | ||||
Operating Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we used $7.68 million in cash in operating activities, an increase in use of $4.96 million when compared to the cash used in operating activities of $2.72 million during the same period in 2020. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily a result of prepayments for inventory and manufacturing services, an increase in accounts receivable, offset by a decrease of accrued expenses.
| 13 |
Our ability to generate cash from operations in future periods will depend in large part on profitability, the rate and timing of collections of our accounts receivable, inventory turns and our ability to manage other areas of working capital.
Investing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we used cash of $0.54 million from investing activities as compared to $2.81 million of cash provided by investing activities during 2020, a decrease of $3.35 million. The net decrease was primarily due to our receipt of proceeds of $3.06 million in connection with the Merger during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we received net proceeds of an aggregate of $58.31 million from the issuance of common stock, net of fees and expenses, and $0.10 million from the exercise of warrants for cash. In addition, during June 2021, we issued 469,576 shares of common stock from the exercise of stock options and received cash proceeds of $1.22 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we generated $0.50 million of debt financing from certain DropCar investors, $0.60 million in debt financing from a private investor, both of which notes were repaid upon closing of the Merger. Additionally, in May 2020, we received $0.22 million in a Paycheck Protection Program loan (“PPP Loan”) from our bank. The debt proceeds were netted with $1.1 million in loan repayments and $6.46 million in generation of proceeds from the issuance of common stock, net of fees and expenses.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We have made certain indemnities, under which we may be required to make payments to an indemnified party, in relation to certain transactions. We indemnify our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. In connection with our facility leases, we have indemnified our lessors for certain claims arising from the use of the facilities. The duration of the indemnities varies and, in many cases, is indefinite. These indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make. Historically, we have not been obligated to make any payments for these obligations and no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K, such as the use of unconsolidated subsidiaries, structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
| 14 |
Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting discussed below, as well as our continued implementation of disclosure controls and procedures following the Merger. As a result of the Merger transaction, the Company is in the process of assessing and improving its internal control processes and expanding its financial operations and reporting infrastructure.
In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financing reporting as of December 31, 2020, management identified a material weakness related to segregation of duties. Specifically, due to limited resources and headcount we did not have multiple people in the accounting function to provide for a full segregation of duties as required of a public company.
Plan for Remediation of Material Weakness
We have taken and continue to take remedial steps to improve our internal control over financial reporting by hiring additional personnel with added expertise in public company reporting and expect to conclude that the material weakness has been remediated as these individuals progress through the onboarding process. We also continue to expand the functionality of our internal accounting systems to provide for higher levels of automation and assurance in the financial reporting function.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Except as otherwise described above under “Plan for Remediation of Material Weakness,” there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Other than the proceedings identified in Note 14 of the Notes to the Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q, there have been no changes to the legal proceedings disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors as identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 31, 2021, as amended.
Our electric vehicles make use of lithium-ion battery cells, which, if not appropriately managed and controlled, have occasionally been observed to catch fire or vent smoke and flames. If such events occur in our electric vehicles, we could face liability associated with our warranty, for damage or injury, adverse publicity and a potential safety recall, any of which would adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.
The battery packs in our electric vehicles use lithium-ion cells. On occasion, if not appropriately managed and controlled, lithium-ion cells can rapidly release the energy they contain by venting smoke and flames in a manner that can ignite nearby materials. Highly publicized incidents of laptop computers and cell phones bursting into flames have focused consumer attention on the safety of these cells. These events also have raised questions about the suitability of these lithium-ion cells for automotive applications. There can be no assurance that a field failure of our battery packs will not occur, which could damage the vehicle or lead to personal injury or death and may subject us to lawsuits. Furthermore, there is some risk of electrocution if individuals who attempt to repair battery packs on our vehicles do not follow applicable maintenance and repair protocols. Any such damage or injury would likely lead to adverse publicity and potentially a safety recall. Any such adverse publicity could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
None.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None.
ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
Not applicable.

| ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS | NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
AYRO, Inc. (“AYRO” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation formerly known as DropCar, Inc. (“DropCar”), a corporation headquartered outside Austin, Texas, is the merger successor discussed below of AYRO Operating Company, Inc., which was formed under the laws of the State of Texas on May 17, 2016 as Austin PRT Vehicle, Inc. and subsequently changed its name to Austin EV, Inc. under an Amended and Restated Articles of Formation filed with the State of Texas on March 9, 2017. On July 24, 2019, the Company changed its name to AYRO, Inc. and converted its corporate domicile to Delaware. The Company was founded on the basis of promoting resource sustainability. The Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, are principally engaged in manufacturing and sales of environmentally-conscious, minimal-footprint electric vehicles. The all-electric vehicles are typically sold both directly and to dealers in the United States.
Merger
On May 28, 2020, pursuant to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 19, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among AYRO, Inc., a Delaware corporation previously known as DropCar, Inc., ABC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and AYRO Operating Company (“AYRO Operating”), a Delaware corporation previously known as AYRO, Inc., Merger Sub was merged with and into AYRO Operating, with AYRO Operating continuing after the merger as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger, without any action on the part of any stockholder, each issued and outstanding share of AYRO Operating’s common stock, par value $ per share (“AYRO Operating Common Stock”), including shares underlying AYRO Operating’s outstanding equity awards and warrants, was converted into the right to receive 1.3634 pre-split and pre-stock dividend shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Company Common Stock”). Immediately following the effective time of the Merger, the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding Company Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), and immediately following the Reverse Stock Split, the Company issued a stock dividend of one share of Company Common Stock for each outstanding share of Common Stock to all holders of record immediately following the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split (the “Stock Dividend”). The net result of the Reverse Stock Split and the Stock Dividend was a 1-for-5 reverse stock split. As part of the Merger, the Company received cash of $3.06 million in consideration for shares of common stock. Upon completion of the Merger and the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement and assuming the exercise in full of all pre-funded warrants issued pursuant thereto, (i) the former AYRO Operating equity holders (including the investors in a bridge financing and private placements that closed prior to closing of the Merger) owned approximately 79% of the outstanding equity of the Company; (ii) former DropCar stockholders owned approximately 18% of the outstanding equity of the Company; and (iii) a financial advisor to DropCar and AYRO owned approximately 3% of the outstanding equity of the Company.
The Merger was treated as a reverse recapitalization effected by a share exchange for financial accounting and reporting purposes because substantially all of DropCar, Inc.’s operations were disposed of as part of the consummation of the Merger and therefore no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded by the Company as a result of the Merger. AYRO Operating was treated as the accounting acquirer as its stockholders controlled the Company after the Merger, even though DropCar, Inc. was the legal acquirer. As a result, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in our consolidated financial statements are those of AYRO Operating as if AYRO Operating had always been the reporting company.
On December 19, 2019, DropCar entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with DC Partners Acquisition, LLC (“DC Partners”), Spencer Richardson and David Newman, pursuant to which DropCar agreed to sell substantially all of the assets associated with its business of providing vehicle support, fleet logistics and concierge services for both consumers and the automotive industry to an entity controlled by Messrs. Richardson and Newman, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Business Development Officer at the time, respectively. The aggregate purchase price for the purchased assets consisted of the cancellation of certain liabilities pursuant to those certain employment agreements by and between DropCar and each of Messrs. Richardson and Newman, plus the assumption of certain liabilities relating to, or arising out of, workers’ compensation claims that occurred prior to the closing date of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
On May 28, 2020, the parties to the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement Amendment”), which Asset Purchase Agreement Amendment (i) provides for the inclusion of up to $30,000 in refunds associated with certain insurance premiums as assets being purchased by DC Partners, (ii) amends the covenant associated with the funding of the DropCar business, such that DropCar provided the DropCar business with additional funding of $175,000 at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement and (iii) provides for a current employee of the Company being transferred to DC Partners to provide transition services to the Company for a period of three months after the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Asset Purchase Agreement closed on May 28, 2020, immediately following the consummation of the Merger.

Liquidity and Other Uncertainties
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of earlier stage commercial companies, including dependence on key individuals and products, the difficulties inherent in the development of a commercial market, the potential need to obtain additional capital, competition from larger companies, other technology companies and other technologies. The Company has a limited operating history and the sales and income potential of its business and market are unproven. The Company incurred net losses of $7,663,749 and $13,297,582 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and negative cash flows from operations of $7,683,111 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2021, the Company had cash balances totaling $87,891,072. In addition, overall working capital increased by $49,218,168 during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Management believes that the existing cash at June 30, 2021 will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months following the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Since early 2020, when the World Health Organization declared the spread of the transmissible and pathogenic coronavirus a global pandemic, there have been business slowdowns and decreased demand for AYRO products. The outbreak of such a communicable disease has resulted in a widespread health crisis which has adversely affected general commercial activity and the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the United States. As the outbreak of the disease has continued through 2020 and into 2021, the measures taken by the governments of countries affected has adversely affected the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. The pandemic had an adverse impact on AYRO’s sales and the demand for AYRO products in 2020 and in the first and second quarters of 2021, resulting in sales that were less than expected in the first half of 2021. AYRO expects the pandemic to continue to have an adverse impact on sales and demand for products throughout the remainder of 2021.

| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conformity with the instructions on Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, AYRO Operating and DropCar Operating Company, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such statements. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021, as amended on April 30, 2021.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
The Company’s most significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventory reserve, valuation of deferred tax asset allowance, and the measurement of stock-based compensation expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings or cash flows as previously reported.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Nature of goods and services
The following is a description of the Company’s products and services from which the Company generates revenue, as well as the nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, and significant payment terms for each:
Product revenue
Product revenue from customer contracts is recognized on the sale of each electric vehicle as vehicles are shipped to customers. The majority of the Company’s vehicle sales orders generally have only one performance obligation: sale and delivery of complete vehicles. Ownership and risk of loss transfers to the customer based on FOB shipping point and freight charges are the responsibility of the customer. Revenue is typically recognized at the point control transfers or in accordance with payment terms customary to the business. The Company provides product warranties to assure that the product assembly complies with agreed upon specifications. The Company’s product warranty is identical to the product warranties provided by the Company’s suppliers, therefore minimizing the warranty liability to the standard labor rates associated with the defective part replacement. Customers do not have the option to purchase a warranty separately; as such, warranty is not accounted for as a separate performance obligation. The Company’s policy is to exclude taxes collected from a customer from the transaction price of automotive contracts.
Shipping revenue
Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling are classified as shipping revenue. The Company has elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping when control over vehicles has transferred to the customer as an operating expense. The Company has reported shipping expenses of $59,229 and $16,640 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and $109,855 and $30,790 for the six months June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, included in SG&A.
Subscription revenue
Subscription revenue from revenue sharing with Destination Fleet Operators (“DFO”) and other vehicle rental agreements is recorded in the month the vehicles in the Company’s fleet is rented. The Company established its rental fleet in late March 2019 which is recorded in the property and equipment section of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the rental fleet, the Company retains title and ownership to the vehicles and places them in DFO’s in resort communities that typically rent golf cars for use in those communities. In August 2020, the Company phased-out the production of its 311 line which were the vehicles used in the rental offering as it is working to develop a new line of vehicles. The change in production did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations or financial results.
Services and other revenue
Services and other revenue consist of non-warranty after-sales vehicle services. Revenue is typically recognized at a point in time when services and replacement parts are provided.
The accounting treatment of warrants and preferred share series issued is determined pursuant to the guidance provided by ASC 470, Debt, ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as applicable. Each feature of a freestanding financial instruments including, without limitation, any rights relating to subsequent dilutive issuances, dividend issuances, equity sales, rights offerings, forced conversions, optional redemptions, automatic monthly conversions, dividends and exercise are assessed with determinations made regarding the proper classification in the Company’s financial statements.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The Company recognizes all employee share-based compensation as an expense in the financial statements on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, based on the terms of the awards. Equity-classified awards principally related to stock options, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and equity-based compensation, are measured at the grant date fair value of the award. The Company determines grant date fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of RSAs is determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. For service based vesting grants, expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period based on the number of options or shares. Stock-based compensation is reversed for forfeitures in the period of forfeiture.
In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Unit (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 expands the guidance in ASC 718 to include share-based payments for goods and services to non-employees and generally aligns it with the guidance for share-based payments to employees. In accordance with ASU 2018-07, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the underlying equity instrument. The attribution of the fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense over the period during which services are rendered.
Basic and diluted net loss per share is determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding during the period. For all periods presented with a net loss, the shares underlying the ordinary share options and warrants have been excluded from the calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, the weighted-average shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted loss per share are the same for periods with a net loss. “Penny warrants” were included in the calculation of outstanding shares for purposes of basic earnings per share.
On May 28, 2020, pursuant to the previously announced Merger Agreement, dated December 19, 2019, the Company issued prefunded common stock warrants to purchase 1,193,391 shares of the Company’s common stock to certain investors (“Penny Warrants”). All Penny Warrants were fully exercised by December 31, 2020.

Disaggregation of Revenue
Revenue by type was as follows:
Contract Liabilities
The Company recognizes a contract liability when a consideration is received, or if the Company has the unconditional right to receive consideration, in advance of satisfying the performance obligation. A contract liability is the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration, or an amount of consideration is due from the customer.
The table below details the activity in the Company’s contract liabilities as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The balance at the end of each period is reported as contract liability in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Warranty Reserve
The Company records a reserve for warranty repairs upon the initial delivery of vehicles to its dealer network. The Company provides a product warranty on each vehicle including powertrain, battery pack and electronics package. Such warranty matches the product warranty provided by its supply chain for warranty parts for all unaltered vehicles and is not considered a separate performance obligation. The supply chain warranty does not cover warranty-based labor needed to replace a part under warranty. Warranty reserves include management’s best estimate of the projected cost of labor to repair/replace all items under warranty. The Company reserves a percentage of all dealer-based sales to cover an industry-standard warranty fund to support dealer labor warranty repairs.
Such percentage is recorded as a component of cost of revenues in the statement of operations. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, warranty reserves were recorded within accrued expenses of $61,592 and $43,278, respectively. |

The holders of Series H-6 Preferred Stock are entitled to certain anti-dilution adjustments if the Company issues shares of its common stock at a lower price per share than the applicable conversion price of the Series H-6 Preferred Stock. If any such dilutive issuance occurs prior to the conversion of the Series H-6 Preferred Stock, the conversion price will be adjusted downward to a price that cannot be less than 20% of the exercise price of $3.60.

The H-5 Warrants are entitled to certain anti-dilution adjustments if the Company issues shares of its common stock at a lower price per share than the applicable exercise price (subject to a floor of $0.792 per share).

The Company considers the change in exercise price due to the anti-dilution trigger related to the Series H-5 Warrants to be of an equity nature, as the issuance allowed the warrant holders to exercise warrants in exchange for common stock, which represents an equity for equity exchange. Therefore, the change in the fair value before and after the effect of the anti-dilution triggering event and the fair value of the Series H-5 warrants will be treated as a deemed dividend in the amount of $432,727. Cash received upon exercise in excess of par value is accounted for through additional paid in capital. The Company valued the deemed dividend as the difference between: (a) the modified fair value of the Series H-5 Warrants in the amount of $967,143 and (b) the fair value of the original award prior to the modification of $534,416.
The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of the modification and issuance using the following assumptions: (a) fair value of common stock of $2.77 per share, (b) expected volatility of %, (c) dividend yield of %, (d) risk-free interest rate of %, and (e) expected life of 5 years.

DropCar Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan
The DropCar Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan was amended in 2018 to increase the number of shares of Company common stock available for issuance. Pursuant to the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), shares of common stock were reserved for issuance and there are options to purchase shares outstanding as of June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, there were shares available for grant under the 2014 Plan.
Options
Of the outstanding options, were vested and exercisable as of June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2021 the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options vested and exercisable was $.
The Company recognized $ and $ of stock option expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, and $ and $ for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. Total compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards not yet recognized as of June 30, 2021 was $ and will be recognized on a straight-line basis through the end of the vesting periods through October 2023. The amount of future stock option compensation expense could be affected by any future option grants or by any forfeitures.
Determining the appropriate fair value of the stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, and for stock options, the expected life of the option, and the expected stock price volatility. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards.
The expected life of the employee stock options was estimated using the “simplified method,” as the Company has no historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and employment duration for its stock option grants. No employee stock options were awarded in the six months ended June 30, 2021.
The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. The expected life of awards that vest immediately use the contractual maturity since they are vested when issued. For stock price volatility, the Company uses public company compatibles and historical private placement data as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of option grants. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected life of the option at the grant-date.
Restricted Stock
In September 2020, the Company issued shares of restricted stock to non-executive directors, of which immediately vested and the remainder to During May 2021, of the remaining outstanding restricted stock vested and were forfeited.

Supply Chain Agreements
In 2017, the Company executed a supply chain contract with Cenntro, the Company’s primary supplier, a manufacturer located in the People’s Republic of China. Prior to the Merger, Cenntro was a significant shareholder in AYRO Operating. Through the partnership, Cenntro acquired 19% of AYRO Operating’s common stock. Cenntro owns the design of the AYRO 411 Fleet vehicles and has granted the Company an exclusive license to purchase the AYRO 411 Fleet vehicles for sale in North America. Currently, the Company purchases 100% of its vehicle chassis, cabs and wheels through this supply chain relationship with Cenntro. The Company must sell a minimum number of units in order to maintain its exclusive supply chain contract upon availability of the next-generation AYRO 411, the 411x. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amounts outstanding to Cenntro as a component of accounts payable were $16,635 and $44,594, respectively. See Note 12 for concentration amounts.
Under a memo of understanding signed between the Company and Cenntro on March 22, 2020, the Company agreed to purchase 300 units within the following twelve months of signing the memo of understanding, and 500 and 800 in each of the following respective twelve-month periods. On July 9, 2020, in exchange for certain percentage discounts for raw materials, the Company made a $1.2 million prepayment for inventory. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company made an additional deposit of $100,000, as prepayment for additional inventory for 2021.

Lease Agreements
In 2019 the Company entered into a new lease agreement for office and manufacturing space. The lease commencement date was January 16, 2020. Prior to the commencement date of the new lease agreement, the Company leased other office and manufacturing space on a short-term basis. The Company determined if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the contract and whether a contract is or contains a lease by determining whether it conveys the right to control the use of identified asset for a period of time. The contact provides the right to substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset and the right to direct use of the identified asset, as such, the contract is, or contains, a lease. In connection with the adoption of ASC 842, Leases, the Company has elected to treat the lease and non-lease components as a single component.
During March 2021, the Company subleased additional office space to support the Company’s expansion plan. The term is for 16 months with a total lease obligation of $131,408. In connection with the adoption of ASC 842, Leases, the Company has elected to treat the lease and non-lease components as a single component.
Leases were classified as an operating lease at inception. An operating lease results in the recognition of a Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets and lease liability on the balance sheet. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term as of the commencement date. Because the lease does not provide an explicit or implicit rate of return, the Company determines incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments on an individual lease basis.
The incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest the Company would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments for the asset under similar term, which is 10.41%. Lease expense for the lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company’s leases do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The remaining terms for the Company’s leases as of June 30, 2021 are 5.75 and 1.00 years, respectively. The Company currently has no finance leases.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities- operating cash flows from operating lease was $67,009 and $30,286, respectively.
The components of lease expense consist of the following:

Manufacturing Agreements
On September 25, 2020, AYRO entered into a Master Manufacturing Services Agreement with Karma Automotive, LLC (the “Karma Agreement”). The term of the contract is for 12 months. Pursuant to the agreement Karma will provide certain manufacturing services, starting in 2021, under an attached statement of work including final assembly, raw material storage and logistical support of our vehicles in return for compensation of $.
The Company paid Karma an amount of $440,000 for the first production level builds and $80,000 for setup costs. In addition, the Company issued warrants to an advisor to the transaction with a fair value of $66,845 due at signing of the contract and was expensed in the prior year. The payment was recorded as prepaid expense as of December 31, 2020. On February 24, 2021, the Karma Agreement was amended to allow Karma to assemble a certain number of units of the AYRO 411 vehicle. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded expense of $23,140 and $30,260 related to the Karma Agreement for the assembly of the AYRO 411 vehicle as discussed above. This amount was recorded against cost of goods for direct labor as part of the first production level builds. In addition, the setup costs balance of $73,333 was fully amortized on June 30, 2021, as full production started during the second quarter of 2021.
Litigation
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business, that it believes are incidental to the operation of its business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial positions or cash flows.
Other
On February 12, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Arcimoto, Inc. to settle certain patent infringement claims (the “Arcimoto Settlement”) for a de minimis amount, pursuant to which the Company agreed to cease the production, importation and sale of the AYRO 311, among other things. Accordingly, the Company would not be contractually permitted to resume production of the AYRO 311. The Company is continuing the development of an all-new, three-wheeled electric vehicle, which the Company has intended to replace AYRO 311 as its three-wheeled electric vehicle product offering.
As of January 1, 2019, DropCar Operating, Inc. (“DropCar”) had accrued approximately $232,000 for the settlement of multiple employment disputes. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $5,603 remained accrued as accounts payable and accrued expenses for the settlement of the final remaining employment dispute.
On March 23, 2018, DropCar was made aware of an audit being conducted by the New York State Department of Labor (“DOL”) regarding a claim filed by an employee. The DOL is investigating whether DropCar properly paid overtime for which DropCar has raised several defenses. In addition, the DOL is conducting its audit to determine whether the Company owes spread of hours pay (an hour’s pay for each day an employee worked or was scheduled for a period over ten hours in a day). If the DOL determines that monies are owed, the DOL will seek a backpay order, which management believes will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Management believes the case has no merit.
DropCar was a defendant in a class action lawsuit which resulted in a judgement entered into whereby the Company is required to pay legal fees in the amount of $45,000 to the plaintiff’s counsel. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31,2020, the balance due remains $45,000. This amount was included in the $186,000 of prefunded liabilities assumed by AYRO in the Merger – See Note 1. |

| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Nature of goods and services
The following is a description of the Company’s products and services from which the Company generates revenue, as well as the nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, and significant payment terms for each:
Product revenue
Product revenue from customer contracts is recognized on the sale of each electric vehicle as vehicles are shipped to customers. The majority of the Company’s vehicle sales orders generally have only one performance obligation: sale and delivery of complete vehicles. Ownership and risk of loss transfers to the customer based on FOB shipping point and freight charges are the responsibility of the customer. Revenue is typically recognized at the point control transfers or in accordance with payment terms customary to the business. The Company provides product warranties to assure that the product assembly complies with agreed upon specifications. The Company’s product warranty is identical to the product warranties provided by the Company’s suppliers, therefore minimizing the warranty liability to the standard labor rates associated with the defective part replacement. Customers do not have the option to purchase a warranty separately; as such, warranty is not accounted for as a separate performance obligation. The Company’s policy is to exclude taxes collected from a customer from the transaction price of automotive contracts.
Shipping revenue
Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling are classified as shipping revenue. The Company has elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping when control over vehicles has transferred to the customer as an operating expense. The Company has reported shipping expenses of $59,229 and $16,640 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and $109,855 and $30,790 for the six months June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, included in SG&A.
Subscription revenue
Subscription revenue from revenue sharing with Destination Fleet Operators (“DFO”) and other vehicle rental agreements is recorded in the month the vehicles in the Company’s fleet is rented. The Company established its rental fleet in late March 2019 which is recorded in the property and equipment section of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the rental fleet, the Company retains title and ownership to the vehicles and places them in DFO’s in resort communities that typically rent golf cars for use in those communities. In August 2020, the Company phased-out the production of its 311 line which were the vehicles used in the rental offering as it is working to develop a new line of vehicles. The change in production did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations or financial results.
Services and other revenue
Services and other revenue consist of non-warranty after-sales vehicle services. Revenue is typically recognized at a point in time when services and replacement parts are provided.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Warrants and Preferred Shares |
The accounting treatment of warrants and preferred share series issued is determined pursuant to the guidance provided by ASC 470, Debt, ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as applicable. Each feature of a freestanding financial instruments including, without limitation, any rights relating to subsequent dilutive issuances, dividend issuances, equity sales, rights offerings, forced conversions, optional redemptions, automatic monthly conversions, dividends and exercise are assessed with determinations made regarding the proper classification in the Company’s financial statements.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Stock-Based Compensation |
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The Company recognizes all employee share-based compensation as an expense in the financial statements on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, based on the terms of the awards. Equity-classified awards principally related to stock options, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and equity-based compensation, are measured at the grant date fair value of the award. The Company determines grant date fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of RSAs is determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. For service based vesting grants, expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period based on the number of options or shares. Stock-based compensation is reversed for forfeitures in the period of forfeiture.
In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Unit (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 expands the guidance in ASC 718 to include share-based payments for goods and services to non-employees and generally aligns it with the guidance for share-based payments to employees. In accordance with ASU 2018-07, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the underlying equity instrument. The attribution of the fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense over the period during which services are rendered.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share |
Basic and diluted net loss per share is determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding during the period. For all periods presented with a net loss, the shares underlying the ordinary share options and warrants have been excluded from the calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, the weighted-average shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted loss per share are the same for periods with a net loss. “Penny warrants” were included in the calculation of outstanding shares for purposes of basic earnings per share.
On May 28, 2020, pursuant to the previously announced Merger Agreement, dated December 19, 2019, the Company issued prefunded common stock warrants to purchase 1,193,391 shares of the Company’s common stock to certain investors (“Penny Warrants”). All Penny Warrants were fully exercised by December 31, 2020.
