(a)During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company completed the sale of Grapevine. Refer to Note 7 for additional information.

(b)On July 26, 2021, Timios experienced a systems outage that was caused by a cybersecurity incident, which caused disruption to parts of Timios’ business, including its ability to perform its mortgage title, closing and escrow services offerings. This resulted in an adverse impact on Timios’ revenues in that one significant customer was lost and other customers have reduced their volume. The Company determined that an indicator of potential impairment existed and decided to perform an interim quantitative tangible and intangible asset and goodwill impairment tests for its Timios reporting unit.

Based on the results of this interim quantitative impairment test, the fair value of the Timios reporting unit was below the carrying value of its net assets. The decline in the fair value of the Timios reporting unit resulted from the cybersecurity event described above, which lowered the projected revenue and profitability levels of the reporting unit. The fair value of the Timios reporting unit was based on the income approach. Under the income approach, the Company estimated the fair value of the reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows which are level 3 unobservable inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The Company prepared cash flow projections based on management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration the historical performance and the current macroeconomic industry and market conditions. The Company based the discount rate on the weighted-average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business-specific characteristics and the uncertainty related to the Timios’ ability to execute on the projected cash flows. The fair value of Timios’ reporting unit is based on management’s best estimates, and should actual results differ from those estimates, future impairment charges may be required in future periods.

The quantitative analysis indicated that the carrying amount of the Timios reporting unit exceeded its fair value by $19.5 million. As a result, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $5.6 million, and impairment charges related to the Timios tradename and lender relationships of $0.7 million and $13.2 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2021.

(c)For the year ended December 31, 2021, market conditions and supply chain issues have had an adverse impact on WAVE’s business forecasts. The projections have negatively impacted WAVE’s performance, resulting in lower gross margins and revenue forecasts being reduced. As a result, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $35.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

(d)For the period ended December 31, 2021, market conditions and supply chain issues have had an adverse impact on US Hybrid’s business forecasts. The projections have negatively impacted US Hybrid’s performance, resulting in lower gross margins and revenue forecasts being reduced. As a result, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $42.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

(e)For the period ended December 31, 2021, market conditions and supply chain issues have had an adverse impact on Solectrac's business forecasts. The projections have negatively impacted Solectrac's performance, resulting in lower gross margins and revenue forecasts being reduced. As a result, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $17.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021

Intangible assets of $8.3 million were recognized on the date of acquisition.
