Corporate Background and General Overview

Motivated by the belief that America can engineer and build a high quality, reliable, safe, eco-friendly and affordable vehicle for everyone, engineering veteran Paul Elio founded Elio Motors, Inc. in October 2009 as an Arizona corporation.  Today, Elio Motors is an American vehicle design and manufacturing company committed to providing safe, affordable and efficient vehicles.  Leveraging existing technology, Elio Motors has designed a revolutionary front engine, front-wheel drive, two-seat, gasoline-powered vehicle, with two wheels in the front and one wheel in the rear – the Elio. Its unique design makes the vehicle more aerodynamic with significantly higher gas mileage than standard vehicles.

Elio Motors hopes to make a game-changing impact beyond sales; creating thousands of jobs, reducing dependence on foreign oil, reducing emissions, and favorably affecting the trade deficit by reducing foreign oil purchases, exporting vehicles, and providing a significant return for investors.

The range of the Elio exceeds the range of electric vehicles (100 to 300 miles) and that of most other vehicles of its size (400 to 500 miles).  Configured in a three-wheel format, it is conceived with tandem seating for two passengers to travel in a front-to-back layout.  With a targeted retail price of $6,8001 per vehicle, we believe that the Elio provides the efficiency and environmental friendly benefits without the price premium, driving range anxiety or safety risks of electric or hybrid vehicles.

Based on the current prototype and sources for components, the retail price is approximately $7,600, but we are working to reduce that amount.  Bill-of-materials (BOM) cost is the largest component of the retail price for the Elio vehicle. At the prototype phase of any automotive vehicle program it is quite customary to have a gap to a design BOM cost target. The cost targets for the Elio have been set based on the management team’s collective past experience in sourcing hundreds of automotive components. Actual BOM costs can vary up or down during vehicle development as engineering changes are made and validated through testing. Through continuous product refinement during vehicle development, supplier negotiation closer to production and scale economies post-production, this cost gap is typically bridged. While design-decision driven costs are within our control, the commodity price fluctuations driven by energy prices are beyond our control.

The tandem seating design is a key component to the achievement of the Elio’s fuel efficiency; it reduces vehicle body2 width by half that of the typical side-by-side seated two to four passenger compact car (68.8 inches wide on average3), minimizing the wind drag on the vehicle by a corresponding one half.  Drivers will benefit from the vehicle’s three-wheel, two-passenger format, not only for additional practical reasons, but also as it permits them to utilize the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) or carpool lanes on roads and highways.  By employing the three-wheel design, the vehicle qualifies as a motorcycle4, lowering the degree of federal and state compliance requirements, as compared to vehicles with four wheels or more, and drastically reduces the cost of development and launch of the vehicle. Although the vehicle is technically classified as a motorcycle, we have designed the Elio to meet the more stringent safety standards of cars.

Features and Options.  The vehicle is designed to have the same standard comfort and functional features customers have come to expect in modern automobiles:  air conditioning, heat, AM/FM stereo, power windows, power door lock, airbags, auxiliary port(s), anti-lock brakes, and traction control.  Other optional luxury features will be available as well, such as leather seats, power seats, and various exterior body aesthetic add-ons.  It will also have newer generation options, such as rear view/backup camera, remote engine ignition, GPS-mapping and navigation and web radio.

Customers will be able to select from seven different body color options:  Rocket Silver, Sour Apple, Creamsicle, Red Hot, True Blue, Licorice and Marshmallow.

Vehicle Development and Existing Technologies Used.  While the Elio is unique from what exists in the current market, many of its planned components and technologies are already in use and accessible in today’s automotive production market, thus reducing the need for, and costs and execution risks of, vehicle development.  Many components utilized in the construction of the vehicle’s interior, chassis, powertrain and body, are either available off-the-shelf or can be modified from off-the-shelf items for use in production of the vehicle.  “Off-the-shelf” means the components are in current production in other automaker vehicles and the component suppliers either own the production tooling and/or designs to these components or have the permission to sell these components to Elio Motors.  The benefits of using off-the-shelf components are proven and durable performance and lowered costs due to economies of scale.  We have already established letters of intent with industry-leading suppliers to provide the Elio’s systems and components.

Automakers generally outsource a significant portion of the vehicle components to third-party suppliers. In fact, according to Oliver Wyman, in order to meet the evolving consumer demands and to remain competitive, suppliers’ share of the value creation in vehicle development was 77.3% in 2012 and is projected to increase to 81.1% by 2025.5 This means that Elio Motors is not alone in this regard. In addition, automakers single source components for a given vehicle platform, but use multiple suppliers for their portfolio of vehicle platforms in order to have pricing leverage over suppliers.  Although we are single sourcing any given automotive component, our purchasing group has a reserve of two or three capable suppliers to protect against pricing or other supply risks. In fact, we have successfully switched suppliers for a few components already.


Spaceframe and Body Panel Design.  The Elio space frame / body panel design architecture has been morphed into a traditional unibody design in the latest iteration. The benefits of doing so have been the elimination of MIG welding in the plant, improved fit & finish and quality and better crash safety performance. Off gasses produced during MIG welding are considered bad from an environmental and occupational safety perspective. This change will keep the plant on the path of being green and safe for our operators assembling the vehicle. With the new design we can hold tolerances better and improve the design for gaps and fit conditions. In addition, with one of the recent runs, we have shown improvement to the simulated crash performance. Finally, the unibody architecture has resulted in lowering the weight and costs and will improve Elio Motors' ability to produce at a faster pace which in turn improves uptime at the plant.

This frame and body design contrasts with the unibody frame design, common in the market today and which requires sheet metal stampings to serve as both the safety structure and aesthetic surface for a typical car design.  This frame technology is not unique to the Elio – spaceframes for automotive applications have been used frequently for decades in the production of motorcycles and racecars, and the spaceframe and body panel architecture are currently utilized in the production of autos ranging from exotic sports cars to more modestly priced models.  The advantages of this frame and panel design are the far greater utilization of materials in production, decreased tooling costs, and greater potential for left hand to right hand commonality.  As well, by decoupling the aesthetic and functional aspects of the frame, Elio Motors has greater freedom in design of the spaceframe itself.

Engine/Powertrain.  Perhaps the most critical aspect to the vehicle’s performance is the engine.   The Elio engine is an inline 0.9 liter combustible three-cylinder engine, which has been custom-developed for the Elio application.  Like the rest of the vehicle, it relies heavily on off-the-shelf components and is a great execution of current automotive technology.  To achieve the Elio’s fuel efficiency and power requirements, this version will include existing technologies found in production automobiles today:  variable valve lift and exhaust gas recirculation.

Newly Tooled Parts and Components.  While much of the vehicle’s construction involves readily available, off-the-shelf components and existing technologies, some parts are unique to the vehicle and will require new tooling of equipment to fabricate parts for production.  As described above, it has been noted that the engine powertrain for the vehicle will involve a new engine with off-the-shelf parts where possible and unique parts, such as the engine block being manufactured by current market leaders.  This system, along with other powertrain, interior, chassis and body components will also require new parts production to accommodate the performance, styling and features of the vehicle.

Engineering and Development, to Date; Prototype Build and Design Validation.  Our development process of the Elio comprises five stages:  Concept Design, Engineering Analysis, Detailed Design, Prototype Build and Validation Testing.  As of this date, we have made considerable progress through the first three stages of the vehicle’s development.  The current stage of vehicle engineering and development process is prototype build, vehicle test and engineering validation stage.  Through this process, the vehicle safety characteristics, the gasoline efficiency and the cost of manufacturing the vehicle will be confirmed.

We are using Technosports Creative, a Livonia, Michigan-based prototype maker, to build Elio prototypes and certain other manufactured parts used in the engineering and safety testing process.  Technosports will build prototypes using a combination of fabricated and soft-tooled and off-the-shelf components provided by the Elio suppliers.  Most of the supplier components have been ordered based on engineering drawing release.  The first engineering prototype was completed and delivered for testing and validation at the end of June.    During the prototype build process, issues will be tracked and reported back to the component and vehicle engineering teams to be addressed. A series of tests are being planned for the prototypes, with some vehicles to be used for multiple tests. Since the Elio is classified as a motorcycle under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and Regulations, the Elio does not have to meet any destructive safety tests. The crash safety testing for the Elio will be done purely as a due care measure and not because of any regulatory requirement. On the other hand, in order to be eligible for the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) loan (discussed below in Item 2. “Financial Information”), the Elio has to qualify as an “ultra-efficient vehicle” that achieves at least 75 miles per gallon6 while operating on diesel or gasoline. The Department of Energy (DOE) has informed us that Elio Motors has met the technical eligibility criteria for the ATVM loan based on preliminary analysis. However, it is possible that DOE may require physical testing of the Elio for validation of miles per gallon prior to disbursement of the ATVM loan.

Cost Estimates Developed with Vendors.  We have also made considerable progress towards identifying and procuring component and parts supply partners who will provide the setup for and future production of components in the vehicle at the start of production.  To date, we have obtained cost estimates from nearly 75% of our potential parts and components supply partners, with detailed estimates from each supplier for the pre-production equipment tooling and the per part costs (based on vehicle production volumes).

The Market

We will be selling into the North American automobile market, which is highly competitive.  We have examined various considerations with regard to the Elio’s market impact, including driving cost analyses, the Elio’s unique profile, cost comparisons to existing vehicles in the market, market testing and target consumer markets.

Driving Cost Analyses.  We expect the total cost of operating an Elio to be substantially below that of any available vehicle due largely to the expected retail price of an Elio and its anticipated fuel efficiency.

Unique profile.  We have carefully assessed whether a two-passenger vehicle profile will be an impediment to broad market acceptance.  According to a survey of 150,000 households completed by the US Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration in 2009 (the “2009 National Household Travel Survey”), the average vehicle occupancy across all types of trips (work, shopping, family errands, and social and recreational) totaled 1.67.  When traveling to and from work, the average vehicle occupancy declined to just 1.13, suggesting that almost all work commutes by automobile are made with the driver as the sole vehicle occupant.  Only social and recreational trips averaged more than two occupants, measuring at 2.2.
 

6 ATVM’s 75 miles per gallon is based on the CAFÉ test method, which is a combined highway and city mileage number. The Elio is expected to achieve 92 mpg measured under the CAFÉ test method. On the other hand, the Elio’s projected 84 miles per gallon is a highway mileage number, which is based on EPA’s test method, which involves real-world driving conditions.

Cost comparisons to existing vehicles.  When compared to internal combustion engine vehicles (i.e., those powered by gasoline or diesel oil), the Elio is substantially more attractive on the basis of purchase cost, operating costs and efficiency.  When compared to electric vehicle alternatives, the Elio still represents a significantly better value proposition on the basis of purchase cost and convenience.  Electric vehicles range in purchase cost from $23,000 (Mitsubishi i-MiEV) to $70,000 (Tesla Model S), and the lack of available charging stations limits the driving range of many of the models, making them less convenient and impractical for longer trips.

Market testing.  Since May 2013, we have been touring a prototype Elio across the United States to build awareness, gather feedback and refine the offering.  The vehicle has been well received at more than 150 events nationwide.  We have been taking reservations through our website for future production models of the Elio, which require deposits of $100 to $1,000, with the average deposit received per reservation of $427, with 95% of the reservation dollar amounts being non-refundable. As of March 31, 2016, we had nearly 52,000 reservations totaling over $22 million.

Target markets.  We have surveyed consumers several times to understand the groups most likely to purchase an Elio.  The results of these surveys indicate that the demographics of an Elio purchaser will evolve, as the initial purchasers, or “early adopters,” will have a slightly different demographic profile than the broader group of purchasers anticipated in future years.  Based on our analyses, we are targeting the Second Vehicle and Used Car markets, the Clunker Replacement market, and the Third Vehicle market.

 
·
Second Vehicle and Used Car Markets – According to the 2009 National Household Travel Survey, there were 1.86 vehicles per household, and greater than 41 million households had two vehicles, accounting for 36.3% of all US households.  The 2014 Used Car Industry Report published by the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association indicated that for 2013, 41.99 million used vehicles and 15.58 new vehicles were sold.  The 2014 Used Vehicle Market Report prepared by Edmunds.com revealed that the average transaction price for a ten-year old vehicle was $7,689.  We believe that the Elio presents an attractive alternative to purchasing a used car for a second vehicle.  Given the option of purchasing a used vehicle with 120,000 miles on it for $7,689 versus a new vehicle with all the guarantees and warranties for under $7,600, many buyers, especially first-time buyers and college students, will present a solid opportunity.

 
·
Clunker Segment - Of the 2587 million vehicles on the road in the U.S. today, 120 million are six to 14 years old or older, or “Clunkers.”  This segment consists of clunker drivers who today, have no intention of getting a different vehicle.  They do not want to (or cannot) purchase a substantially better vehicle.  Given the low upfront cost of the Elio and its low operating cost, we believe that the Elio will stand out as a newer, lost-cost alternative for clunker drivers.  If one were to finance the cost of the Elio over six years, and replaced a vehicle with 18 miles per gallon or less, the savings on gas from the new Elio would entirely pay for the vehicle8.

 
·
Third Vehicle - We had Berline (a Detroit advertising agency), perform a survey to assess the market for the Elio.  Berline surveyed 2,000 people who watched a video about the Elio and then completed a questionnaire. 23.8% of the respondents classified themselves as either “Very Likely” or “Extremely Likely” to purchase an Elio, an impressive result for a new vehicle.  Even more interesting, 72.7% of this group of “Very Likely” or “Extremely Likely” indicated they would buy an Elio in addition to their current vehicles.

Reservations for an Elio

Since 2013, we have been accepting reservation deposits ranging from $100 to $1,000 for purposes of securing vehicle production slots.  We offer reservations on a non-refundable and refundable basis at the following levels:  $1,000, $500, $250 and $100.  Those holding non-refundable reservations have priority over those holding refundable reservations and within each group, those with higher deposits have greater preference over those with lower deposits.  As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and 2014, we received refundable deposits of $1,114,900, $1,092,750 and $913,700, respectively, which are included as current liabilities on our balance sheets.  As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and 2014, we received nonrefundable deposits of $20,961,900, $19,587,800 and $14,852,183, respectively, which are included as long-term liabilities on our balance sheets.

Sales and Service Model

Sales Model.  The sales model for our vehicle is based on the establishment and operation of our own retail store network, as opposed to the conventional model utilizing factory-authorized dealer franchises.  Our distribution model is designed to enable customers to choose specific options for their vehicles at the point-of-sale.  Since they will be purchasing directly from the manufacturer, customers would be able to obtain their desired mix of options and features, rather than choosing from pre-set option packages.  With seven color choices and the choice of either a manual or automatic transmission, there will be 14 vehicle combinations available.  Customers can then select from an extensive list of add-ons to customize their vehicles.

We envision situating our stores as small, stand-alone locations in highly visible community shopping centers of major cities, in which three full-size Elio vehicles can be displayed – one inside the store and two (a standard and an automatic) outside the store to accommodate test drives.  Customers would access four to six interactive kiosks placed in-store to assist in their vehicle and vehicle options choices, providing such information as option/accessory menus, pricing, warranty information, service locations and financing options.  With only three vehicles being displayed, our retail stores are expected to comprise approximately 4,000 square feet of space.

Fulfillment and Delivery.  Once a customer has finalized his/her vehicle and option selections, the order would be transmitted to one of several Elio marshaling/configuration centers, positioned within nine hours of an Elio retail store.  These marshaling centers would maintain a stock of base vehicles, provide parts installation of customers’ selected option add-ons to the vehicles, and facilitate the delivery of the vehicle to the retail location of purchase.  We expect vehicle orders to be transmitted real time throughout the day, then building out and customizing a base vehicle according to the customer’s specifications.  To provide the marshaling services, we have identified ADESA, Inc., a large national provider of vehicle remarketing services to automotive manufacturers, financial institutions, vehicle rental companies, and fleet management companies.

Service.  Since our retail stores are planned only as sales and distribution locations, we have identified an outsourced service partner - The Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack, a publicly-traded, national provider and retailer of automotive aftermarket service and parts.  We believe that with an existing base of approximately 800 service centers in 36 states located in 90% of the markets in which we will operate, Pep Boys has the right combination of brand recognition and customer focus for its desired factory authorized service provider.  We entered into a preliminary memorandum of understanding as a first step towards securing this working relationship.

Production Plan

Manufacturing Facility.  See “Properties” for a description of the manufacturing facility.

Sourcing.  We intend to sole-source components initially from major component suppliers under multi-year supply agreements and develop dual sources of certain components as quickly as practical.

Production Plan.  Gino Raffin, our Vice President of Manufacturing and Product Launches, and Doug Frick, our Plant Manager of Shreveport operations, have developed the production plan and facility layout.  The facility layout has been developed to utilize the existing infrastructure and flexible design of the buildings at the Shreveport facility.  A detailed 47-week launch plan has been developed, which includes 25 weeks of pre-production activities, 10 weeks of manufacturing validation and training, and 12 weeks9 of increased production to reach optimal production output.  Incorporated into the launch is the plan that the first 100 vehicles produced will be sold to a fleet customer to provide feedback.

Management is committed to making this vehicle available to the public as soon as possible. However, we have encountered delays resulting in a slip of approximately two and a half years to the production schedule.  Approximately nine months of the delay was attributable to the refinement of project scope as new technical information became available.  We note that notwithstanding the sophisticated simulations that have been run to date, it is possible that vehicle testing in the next twelve months may uncover technical issues that may introduce a further program delay.

The additional delay has been a function of missed funding milestones that we believe was largely a result of the venture capital industry having moved away from investing in new vehicle startups. Fortunately, at present the investing public seems to be very interested in this category in general and the Company in particular, as evidenced by the large number of customer reservations and the investment received in the Regulation A+ offering.  As disclosed Item 2. “Financial Information,” we must raise an estimated $273 million to fund production.  Our anticipated production timetable is therefore highly dependent upon receiving such funding in a timely manner, and delays in obtaining additional funding will delay our production timetable.

Intellectual Property

Patents.  In order to minimize the cost of bring the Elio to market, we have chosen not to apply for patents for any of our mechanical innovations related to our development of the Elio.  The design of the Elio is copyrighted, but others could design a vehicle similar to the Elio and argue that although similar, the design has not been copied.  This means that others could develop a vehicle with a similar design and produce a competing product, which would adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.  If we are able to successfully launch the Elio, we expect that other companies – whether they are traditional auto companies, motorcycle companies, or other startups – would attempt to begin producing their own three-wheeled vehicles.  However, we believe Elio Motors would be well positioned due to the following:

 
·
We will be several years ahead of the competition in terms of the design and production schedule. 

 
·
We will have established a network of automotive supplier relationships that are not easily duplicated by motorcycle manufacturers or other startups.

 
·
We believe we will have created a sustainable brand loyalty through the manner in which we treat our customers. The Elio is being deliberately priced low even though the market will bear a higher price without any competitors at the outset. By not opportunistically pricing the Elio, it will be difficult for competitors to attract Elio customers away.  We believe that most major auto manufacturers are saddled with legacy costs (pension obligations, etc.) and massive corporate infrastructure and overhead that would make it very difficult for them to compete at our base price.

Government Regulation

Many governmental standards and regulations relating to safety, fuel economy, emissions control, noise control, vehicle recycling, substances of concern, vehicle damage, and theft prevention are applicable to new motor vehicles, engines, and equipment manufactured for sale in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere. In addition, manufacturing and other automotive assembly facilities in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere are subject to stringent standards regulating air emissions, water discharges, and the handling and disposal of hazardous substances. The most significant of the standards and regulations affecting us are discussed below:

Mobile Source Emissions Control. The federal Clean Air Act imposes stringent limits on the amount of regulated pollutants that lawfully may be emitted by new vehicles and engines produced for sale in the United States. The current ("Tier 2") emissions regulations promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set standards for motorcycles. Tier 2 emissions standards also establish durability requirements for emissions components to 5 years or 30,000 kilometers.

California has received a waiver from EPA to establish its own unique emissions control standards for certain regulated pollutants. New vehicles and engines sold in California must be certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).  CARB's emissions standards for motorcycles are in line with those of the EPA.

Motor Vehicle Safety. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) defines a motorcycle as “a motor vehicle with motive power having a seat or saddle for the use of the rider and designed to travel on not more than three wheels in contact with the ground.”  In order for a manufacturer to sell motorcycles in the US, the manufacturer has to self-certify to meet a certain set of regulatory requirements promulgated by the NHTSA in its Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).

Our FMVSS strategy is designed to meet motorcycle requirements and conform as much as possible to automotive FMVSS requirements while not violating the motorcycle requirements that we must meet.

The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 (the “Safety Act”) regulates vehicles and vehicle equipment in two primary ways. First, the Safety Act prohibits the sale in the United States of any new vehicle or equipment that does not conform to applicable vehicle safety standards established by NHTSA. Meeting or exceeding many safety standards is costly, in part because the standards tend to conflict with the need to reduce vehicle weight in order to meet emissions and fuel economy standards. Second, the Safety Act requires that defects related to motor vehicle safety be remedied through safety recall campaigns. A manufacturer is obligated to recall vehicles if it determines the vehicles do not comply with a safety standard. Should we or NHTSA determine that either a safety defect or noncompliance exists with respect to any of our vehicles, the cost of such recall campaigns could be substantial.

Operator’s License and Helmet Requirements.  Since the Elio is a motorcycle by NHTSA definition, laws and regulations pertaining to the operation of a motorcycle and wearing a helmet apply to us.  We are approaching several state legislatures to seek an exemption from the application of these requirements.  As of this date, six states require the use of helmets while operating an enclosed three-wheel vehicle if the operator is under a specified age (generally under 18, although two states require a helmet if under the age of 21) and one state requires the use of helmets regardless of age.

The American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA), which is a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization developing model programs in motor vehicle administration, law enforcement and highway safety, and which represents the state and provincial officials in the United States and Canada who administer and enforce motor vehicle laws, issued a report in October 2013, titled “Best Practices for the Regulation of Three-Wheel Vehicles.”  In that report, the AAMVA distinguishes a traditional three-wheel motorcycle from what it calls an “autocycle” – a three-wheel motorcycle that has a steering wheel and seating that does not require the operator to straddle or sit astride it.  In addition, the AAMVA issued the following recommendations for autocycles:

 
·
Registering autocycles differently than three-wheel motorcycles – using AU instead of 3W for the body style and creating a distinguishing plate alpha/numeric configuration or using a distinguishing feature on the plate to indicate the vehicle is registered as an autocycle; and

 
·
With respect to driver license requirements, allowing operation of autocycles with a standard automobile license

As of this date, 30 states recognize the definition of autocycle (in most cases, with the added provision that it must be an enclosed or partially enclosed motorcycle).

Pollution Control Costs.  We are required to comply with stationary source air and water pollution and hazardous waste control standards that are now in effect or are scheduled to come into effect with respect to our manufacturing operations. We do not yet have an estimate of the cost of compliance.

Motor Vehicle Manufacturer and Dealer Regulation.  State laws regulate the manufacture, distribution, and sale of motor vehicles, and generally require motor vehicle manufacturers and dealers to be licensed in order to sell vehicles directly to consumers in the state.  As described above in the “Sales and Service Model” section, establishing and operating our own retail store network means that we will need to secure dealer licenses in order to do so.  It will not be possible to obtain a dealer license in all 50 states since a few states presently do not permit motor vehicle manufacturers to be licensed as dealers or to act in the capacity as a dealer, or otherwise restrict a manufacturer’s ability to deliver vehicles.  Where we are unable to obtain a dealer license, we may have to conduct sales out of the state using our website, phone or mail.  We do not yet have an estimate of the cost of compliance with motor vehicle manufacturer and dealer regulations.

The Company will need to initiate a 50-state survey of the regulatory landscape surrounding the direct sales of motorcycles or autocycles. Once the survey is complete, we intend to pursue a legislative approach to amend current laws, which would permit autocycle manufacturers such as Elio Motors to sell autocycles directly to consumers. In those states that would ban direct sales even after all legislative efforts have been exhausted, we plan to open and operate galleries, where customers would be able to view the Elio vehicles and then would be directed to the Company’s website to complete their purchase. We expect that certain customers may in fact be deterred from purchasing exclusively online.

Competition

The worldwide automotive market, particularly for economy and alternative fuel vehicles, is highly competitive today and we expect it will become even more so in the future. Other manufacturers have entered the three-wheeled vehicle market and we expect additional competitors to enter this market within the next several years. As they do so we expect that we will experience significant competition. With respect to the Elio, we also face strong competition from established automobile manufacturers, including manufacturers of high-MPG vehicles, such as Toyota Prius, Smart, Fiat, Nissan Leaf, and other high efficiency, economy cars.
 
 
10

 
 
Most of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing and other resources than we do and may be able to devote greater resources to the design, development, manufacturing, distribution, promotion, sale and support of their products. Virtually all of our competitors have more extensive customer bases and broader customer and industry relationships than we do. In addition, almost all of these companies have longer operating histories and greater name recognition than we do. Our competitors may be in a stronger position to respond quickly to new technologies and may be able to design, develop, market and sell their products more effectively.

Furthermore, certain large manufacturers offer financing and leasing options on their vehicles and also have the ability to market vehicles at a substantial discount, provided that the vehicles are financed through their affiliated financing company. We do not currently offer any form of direct financing on our vehicles. The lack of our direct financing options and the absence of customary vehicle discounts could put us at a competitive disadvantage.

We expect competition in our industry to intensify in the future in light of increased demand for alternative fuel vehicles, continuing globalization and consolidation in the worldwide automotive industry. Factors affecting competition include product quality and features, innovation and development time, pricing, reliability, safety, fuel economy, customer service and financing terms. Increased competition may lead to lower vehicle unit sales and increased inventory, which may result in a further downward price pressure and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects. Our ability to successfully compete in our industry will be fundamental to our future success in existing and new markets and our market share. There can be no assurances that we will be able to compete successfully in our markets. If our competitors introduce new cars or services that compete with or surpass the quality, price or performance of our vehicles or services, we may be unable to satisfy existing customers or attract new customers at the prices and levels that would allow us to generate attractive rates of return on our investment. Increased competition could result in price reductions and revenue shortfalls, loss of customers and loss of market share, which could harm our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Research and Development

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we spent $2,085,590, $5,469,895 and $7,174,601, respectively, on engineering, research and development activities.  The decrease in engineering was driven by lack of funding.

Employees

As of June 30, 2016, we employed a total of 30 full-time and no part-time people.   None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.  Most of the significant engineering work on the Elio design has occurred through our prospective suppliers and partners and engineering consultants.


Item 1A. 
Risk Factors.

Risks Related to our Business and Industry

We have a limited operating history and have not yet generated any revenues.

Our limited operating history makes evaluating the business and future prospects difficult, and may increase the risk of an investment in our company.  Elio Motors was formed in October 2009 and we have not yet begun producing or delivering our first vehicle. To date, we have no revenues. We intend in the longer term to derive substantial revenues from the sales of Elio vehicles. The Elio is in development, and we do not expect to start delivering to customers until 2017. The Elio vehicle requires significant investment prior to commercial introduction, and may never be successfully developed or commercially successful.
 
 
11

 
 
It is anticipated that we will experience an increase in losses prior to the launch of the Elio.
 
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, Elio Motors generated a loss of approximately $22.6 million, bringing the accumulated deficit to $88,424,632 at December 31, 2015.  For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we generated a loss of $9.5 million (unaudited), bringing our accumulated deficit to $97,918,904 (unaudited).  We anticipate generating a significant loss for the current fiscal year.  The independent auditor’s report on our financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph relating to our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have no revenues, are currently in debt, and expect significant increases in costs and expenses to forestall revenues for the foreseeable future. Even if we are able to successfully develop the Elio, there can be no assurance that we will be commercially successful. If we are to ever achieve profitability, we must have a successful commercial introduction and acceptance of the Elio, which may not occur.

We expect the rate at which we will incur losses to increase significantly in future periods from current levels as we:

 
·
design, develop and manufacture the Elio and its components;

 
·
develop and equip our manufacturing facility;

 
·
build up inventories of parts and components for the Elio;

 
·
open Elio Motors stores;

 
·
expand our design, development, maintenance and repair capabilities;

 
·
develop and increase our sales and marketing activities; and

 
·
develop and increase our general and administrative functions to support our growing operations.

Because we will incur the costs and expenses from these efforts before we receive any revenues with respect thereto, our losses in future periods will be significantly greater than the losses we would incur if we developed the business more slowly. In addition, we may find that these efforts are more expensive than we currently anticipate or that these efforts may not result in increases in our revenues, which would further increase our losses.

We have a significant amount of debt, which is secured by all of our assets, including manufacturing equipment.

As of December 31, 2015, we had outstanding secured loans totaling $34,711,719, of which $8,244,012 is classified as short-term.  Our manufacturing equipment located in the Shreveport, Louisiana, facility has been pledged as collateral to secure the repayment of these loans. If we are unable to repay any of our secured loans, a decision by the lender to foreclose on its security interest would materially and adversely affect our future.

We have a significant working capital deficiency.

At December 31, 2015, our working capital deficit was $2,325,036.  This deficit increased to $8,124,031 (unaudited) at March 31, 2016.  We have been raising funds through reservations of the Elio, a private placement of our securities, and the sale of excess equipment to meet our cash needs.  Our current liabilities include notes due July 31, 2016, which were in the principal amount of $10,144,512 at March 31, 2016.
 
 
12

 
 
We may not be able to obtain adequate financing to continue our operations.
 
The design, manufacture, sale and servicing of vehicles is a capital-intensive business.  We estimate that we will need to raise an estimated $273 million to reach the vehicle production stage.  We will need to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related, or debt securities or through obtaining credit from government or financial institutions.  This capital will be necessary to fund ongoing operations, continue research, development and design efforts, establish sales centers, improve infrastructure, and make the investments in tooling and manufacturing equipment required to launch the Elio.  We cannot assure anyone that we will be able to raise additional funds when needed.

Among the possible sources of funding is a loan through the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) Program.  We have applied for a loan of approximately $185 million, the proceeds of which would be used to partly fund the purchase of equipment and equipment installation into the Shreveport facility prior to and ramp up after the start of production.  As of January 15, 2015, the Department of Energy (DOE) has confirmed that the Company has achieved the technical criteria for the loan.  Due diligence has been pending upon the confirmation of the Company’s financial backing. While the DOE has acknowledged and seems to be sensitive to the Company’s requirements, it has not made any commitments regarding its ability to meet the Company’s funding milestones. If the Company were to fail to obtain these loan proceeds within the timeframe needed to support its proposed production timetable or not be funded at all, it is likely the Company would experience significant delays in its production timetable.

Terms of subsequent financings may adversely impact existing investments.

We may have to engage in common equity, debt, or preferred stock financing in the future.  The rights and the value of existing investments in the common stock could be reduced.  Interest on debt securities could increase costs and negatively impacts operating results.  Preferred stock could be issued in series from time to time with such designation, rights, preferences, and limitations as needed to raise capital.  The terms of preferred stock could be more advantageous to those investors than to the holders of common stock.  In addition, if we need to raise more equity capital from the sale of common stock, institutional or other investors may negotiate terms at least as, and possibly more, favorable than the terms of existing investments.  Shares of common stock which we sell could be sold into any market which develops, which could adversely affect the market price.

We face significant barriers in our attempt to produce the Elio, and if we cannot successfully overcome those barriers the business will be negatively impacted.

We face significant barriers as we attempt to produce our first mass produced vehicle. We currently have a few drivable early prototypes of the Elio, but do not have a full production intent prototype, a final design, a built-out manufacturing facility or manufacturing processes. The automobile industry has traditionally been characterized by significant barriers to entry, including large capital requirements, investment costs of designing and manufacturing vehicles, long lead times to bring vehicles to market from the concept and design stage, the need for specialized design and development expertise, regulatory requirements and establishing a brand name and image and the need to establish sales and service locations. As a manufacturer and seller of only three-wheeled vehicles, we face a variety of added challenges to entry that a traditional automobile manufacturer would not encounter including additional costs of developing and producing a power train, suspension, chassis and other systems with comparable performance to a traditional, four-wheeled gasoline powered or hybrid vehicle in terms of range and power, inexperience with servicing vehicles, and unproven high-volume customer demand for three-wheeled vehicles. We must successfully overcome these barriers to be successful.
 
 
13

 
 
Our success is dependent upon consumers’ willingness to adopt three-wheeled, front and back seated two-passenger vehicles.

If we cannot develop sufficient market demand for three-wheeled vehicles, we will not be successful.  Factors that may influence the acceptance of three-wheeled vehicles include:

 
·
perceptions about three-wheeled vehicle comfort, quality, safety, design, performance and cost;

 
·
the availability of alternative fuel vehicles, including plug-in hybrid electric and all-electric vehicles;

 
·
improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine;

 
·
the environmental consciousness of consumers;

 
·
volatility in the cost of oil and gasoline; and

 
·
government regulations and economic incentives promoting fuel efficiency and alternate forms of transportation.

Developments and improvements in alternative technologies such as hybrid engine or full electric vehicles or in the internal combustion engine, or continued low retail gasoline prices may materially and adversely affect the demand for our three-wheeled vehicles.

Significant developments in alternative technologies, such as advanced diesel, ethanol, fuel cells or compressed natural gas, or improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine, may materially and adversely affect our business and prospects in ways that we do not currently anticipate.  If alternative energy engines or low gasoline prices make existing four-wheeled vehicles with greater passenger and cargo capacities less expensive to operate, we may not be able to compete with manufacturers of such vehicles.

We face several regulatory hurdles.

As described in Item 1. “Business” above, the Elio will need to comply with many governmental standards and regulations relating to vehicle safety, fuel economy, emissions control, noise control, and vehicle recycling, among others.  In addition, manufacturing facilities such as ours will be subject to stringent standards regulating air emissions, water discharges, and the handling and disposal of hazardous substances.  Compliance with all of these requirements may delay our production launch, thereby adversely affecting our business and financial condition.

Our proposed distribution model is different from the distribution model currently used by most automobile manufacturers.

Our proposed distribution model is not common in the automobile industry today, particularly in the United States.  We plan to sell our vehicles in company-owned stores.  This model is relatively new and unproven, especially in the United States.  It also subjects us to substantial risk as it requires a significant expenditure to establish company-owned stores and provides for slower expansion of our distribution and sales systems than may be possible by utilizing a more traditional dealer franchise system.  State laws regulate the manufacture, distribution, and sale of motor vehicles, and generally require motor vehicle manufacturers and dealers to be licensed in order to sell vehicles directly to consumers in the state.  Therefore, we will need to secure dealer licenses to sell directly to consumers.  This effort may be time-consuming and costly.  Moreover, we will be competing with companies with well-established distribution channels.  In states where the direct sale of vehicles is prohibited, it is anticipated that we would open and operate galleries, where customers are able to view the Elio vehicles and then would be directed to the Company’s website to complete their purchase. We expect that certain customers may in fact be deterred from purchasing exclusively online, thereby negatively impacting our sales effort.  As a result, we do not know whether our company-owned store strategy will be successful.
 
 
14

 
 
Demand in the vehicle industry is highly volatile.

Volatility of demand in the vehicle industry may materially and adversely affect our business prospects, operating results and financial condition.  The markets in which we will be competing have been subject to considerable volatility in demand in recent periods.  For example, according to automotive industry sources, sales of passenger vehicles in North America during the fourth quarter of 2008 were over 30% lower than those during the same period in the prior year.  Demand for automobile sales depends to a large extent on general, economic, political and social conditions in a given market and the introduction of new vehicles and technologies.  As a new start-up manufacturer, we will have fewer financial resources than more established vehicle manufacturers to withstand changes in the market and disruptions in demand.

Our success is highly dependent on Paul Elio, our founder and Chief Executive Officer.

Paul Elio has been the driving force behind the development of the Elio and the company.  The loss of his services would have a material adverse effect on our business.  We have not obtained any “key man” insurance for Mr. Elio.
 
Risks Related to the Investment in our Common Stock

The ownership of our common stock is concentrated among existing executive officers and directors.

Our executive officers and directors own beneficially, in the aggregate, a vast majority of the outstanding shares.  As a result, they are able to exercise a significant level of control over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors, amendments to our Articles of Incorporation, and approval of significant corporate transactions.  This control could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of Elio Motors or changes in management and will make the approval of certain transactions difficult or impossible without the support of these shareholders.

While our common stock trades on the OTCQX, the average daily trading volume is low.  Accordingly, shareholders may have difficulty in reselling their securities.

Since our shares have begun trading on the OTCQX, the average daily volume of trading has been less than 6,000 shares.  Due to this low trading volume, it may be difficult or impossible for shareholders to resell their shares.  Even if the trading market increases in volume, the market price could decline below the amount shareholders paid for their shares.

Our issuance of convertible notes and warrants could substantially dilute the interests of shareholders and depress the market price for our common stock.

Convertible notes in the amount of $5,149,100 as of June 30, 2016 are convertible by the holders into shares of our common stock at any time prior to their maturity in 2022 at conversion prices equal to $5.98 and $9.65 per share.  In addition, we issued to designees of Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc., the placement agent for our convertible note offering, warrants to purchase up to 83,621 shares of common stock at $7.18 per share and 3,534 shares at $11.58 per share.  These warrants are exercisable until December 2020.  Warrants to purchase a total of 3,016 shares at $12.00 per share, issued to parties that provided services in connection with our Regulation A offering, can be exercised until 2019 and 2023.  Lastly, we entered into option agreements with Stuart Lichter that allow him to purchase 1,887,554 shares at $5.56 per share and 58,824 shares at $17.00 per share.  These option agreements expire in 2025 and 2021, respectively.  Accordingly, these future issuances of common stock could substantially dilute the interests of our existing shareholders and future investors.

Item 2. 
Financial Information.

Since our incorporation in October 2009, we have been engaged primarily in design and development of the Elio and obtained loans, investments and reservations to fund that development.  We are considered to be a development stage company, since we devote substantially all of our efforts to the establishment of our business and planned principal operations have not commenced.  We completed the initial design for the Elio as well as our business model in December 2012.  In 2013, we began accepting reservations for the Elio, purchased manufacturing equipment, built two prototypes and secured a manufacturing facility. During 2014, we sourced suppliers and services providers, built a fourth prototype and applied for the ATVM loan (described below).  In 2015, we built an additional prototype, issued convertible subordinated note offering, and filed an offering statement with the SEC under Regulation A, which was approved on November 20, 2015.  The Regulation A offering closed in February 2016 and we completed our first Engineering prototype in June 2016.

Cash investment has totaled $24,839,150, net of related expenses, from incorporation through March 31, 2016 and loans have totaled $42,118,219 from incorporation through March 31, 2016.  We have also obtained deposits from persons desiring to reserve an Elio totaling $22,076,800 through March 31, 2016.

Operating Results

We have not yet generated any revenues and do not anticipate doing so until late in 2016 at the earliest, but more likely in 2017.
 
For the three months Ended March 31, 2016 Compared to March 31, 2015.  Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased by 234% over the comparable 2015 period, due primarily to a significant increase in engineering, research and development costs.
 
Interest expense decreased by 35% due to the cessation of default interest charges at 18% per annum on the note to Racer Trust beginning January 1, 2016.
 
As a result, our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $9,494,272, as compared to $4,794,988 for the comparable 2015 period, an increase of 98%.  Our accumulated deficit was $97,918,904 at March 31, 2016.
 
Year Ended December 31, 2015 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2014.  Operating expenses for the 2015 fiscal year decreased by 12% over the 2014 fiscal year, despite the increase in the number of employees during 2015 and the recognition of nearly a $2.0 million asset impairment charge on the assets held for sale in the Shreveport Louisiana facility.  We had 19 full-time employees at December 31, 2015 who started with us at various times during the 2015 fiscal year, as compared to 13 full-time employees at December 31, 2014, most of whom were us for the entire 2014 fiscal year.  Engineering costs decreased by nearly 62% from $5,469,895 in 2014 to $2,085,590 in 2015.  The decrease was caused by lack of funding.  Marketing costs increased by 8% from $4,264,953 to $4,611,306 due to an increase in travel costs incurred by the Elio tour team, and social media.  General and administrative expenses for the 2015 fiscal year decreased by 15% from $5,247,581 in 2014 to $4,455,831 in 2015, with the decrease due primarily to a reduction in consulting fees.

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $10,918,470, an 8% increase over the 2014 fiscal year.  See Note 6. Long-Term Debt of the Notes to Financial Statements for more information regarding our debt obligations.

As a result, our net loss for the 2015 fiscal year was $22,594,195, as compared to $24,590,607 for the 2014 fiscal year, a decrease of 8%.  Our accumulated deficit was $88,424,632 at December 31, 2015.
 
 
16

 

Year Ended December 31, 2014 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2013.  Operating expenses for the 2014 fiscal year increased by 48% over the 2013 fiscal year.  Engineering costs decreased 24% from $7,174,601 in 2013 to $5,469,895 in 2014.  The decrease was caused by lack of funding.  Marketing costs increased by 223% from $1,321,951 to $4,264,953 due to an increase in travel costs incurred by the Elio tour team, and marketing and advertising efforts to increase consumer awareness.  General and administrative expenses for the 2014 fiscal year increased 218% from $1,647,787 in 2013 to $5,247,581, with the increase due to a primarily to an increase in consulting fees of $1.3 million and an increase in common area maintenance fees, insurance, and property taxes related to the Shreveport facility of $1.5 million.
 
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $10,068,217, a 154% increase over the 2013 fiscal year.  The $6.1 million increase was due to several notes being signed in early 2013 and the Shreveport facility lease being signed in December 2013.  See Note 6. Long-Term Debt of the Notes to Financial Statements for more information regarding our debt obligations.
 
As a result, our net loss for the 2014 fiscal year was $24,590,607, as compared to $14,058,295 for the 2013 fiscal year, an increase of 75%.  Our accumulated deficit was $65,830,437 at December 31, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

March 31, 2016.  As of March 31, 2016, we had cash of $2,909,373 and a working capital deficit of $8,124,031, as compared to cash of $6,870,044 and a working capital deficit of $2,325,036 at December 31, 2015.  The increase in the working capital deficit results primarily from a decrease in cash as well as an increase in the fair value of derivative liability.

December 31, 2015.  As of December 31, 2015, we had cash of $6,870,044 and a working capital deficit of $2,325,036 as compared to cash of $374,652 and a working capital deficit of $9,449,493 at December 31, 2014.  The decrease in the working capital deficit was due primarily to the increase in cash from the sale of our common stock in the Regulation A offering and the increase in the current portion of restricted cash held for customer deposits, which together more than offset the increase in current liabilities resulting from the current portion of interest payable, approximately $4.8 million, and the decrease in current assets resulting from the sale of assets held for sale, approximately $4.4 million.

We commenced our offering of common stock pursuant to Regulation A in November 2015 and had sold 1,242,822 shares for proceeds of $14,125,449, net of cash offering costs of $714,752 and non-cash offering costs of $73,663, as of December 31, 2015.  We sold an additional 167,226 shares in the offering in January and February 2016.
 
Our convertible subordinated secured notes, which were offered and sold only to accredited investors, are convertible into shares of our common stock at any time prior to their maturity in 2022 at a conversion price equal to $5.98 per share for the first $5,000,000 in notes and at a conversion price of $9.64 for the next tier of note.  Interest of 5% per annum accrues on the unpaid principal balance and all unpaid principal and interest are to be paid at maturity.  The notes are secured, but subordinated to the liens of CH Capital Lending and the Racer Trust.  We have granted unlimited piggyback registration rights covering the shares issuable upon conversion of the notes and holders of the notes have a right of participation for an amount equal to 25% of future equity or convertible financings (“Subsequent Financings”) undertaken by us at the valuation of such future financings.  If a note holder decides not to participate in a Subsequent Financing, the note holder will lose its right to participate in future Subsequent Financings.
  
We obtained a forbearance agreement until July 31, 2016 with respect to a $9,850,000 loan due July 31, 2015, secured by a first position in equipment in the Shreveport, Louisiana manufacturing facility.  The lender, CH Capital Lending, is an affiliate of Stuart Lichter, one of our directors and significant stockholders.  We have three loans from Mr. Lichter totaling $1,900,500 which are also now due July 31, 2016. We also obtained a deferral of the lease payments on the Shreveport facility until August 1, 2016.  
 
 
17

 
 
Such payments were to have commenced on August 1, 2015. The lessor, Shreveport Business Park, is an affiliate of Mr. Lichter. See Note 6. Long-Term Debt of the Notes to Financial Statements for more information regarding this debt obligation.
 
We also have a long-term loan of $23,000,000 from the Racer Trust which was incurred in March 2013 in connection with the purchase of the equipment at the Shreveport facility.   This loan was to be repaid in monthly installments of $173,500 beginning on November 1, 2013, with the entire remaining balance due September 1, 2016.  We were delinquent on the first payment, which triggered default interest to be charged on the loan at 18% per annum.  Payments made in 2014 were applied to this interest.  In March 2015, we entered into an amendment to the promissory note which deferred the installment payments until January 1, 2016 and extended the maturity date to July 1, 2017.  See Note 6. Long-Term Debt of the Notes to Financial Statements for more information regarding this debt obligation

Plan of Operations

Much of the vehicle engineering has been completed, and we are finalizing our engineering simulations, which suggest that the important vehicle performance milestones can be achieved.  To date, $41 million has been invested in vehicle engineering and development, of which $26.3 million was in the form of shares of common stock granted and the assumption of liabilities of Elio Engineering, Inc. dba ESG Engineering. At the close of our Regulation A offering, we obtained approximately $16.0 million in net proceeds to build prototypes. Upon completion of this phase, the vehicle production costs, as well as the performance and safety profiles, will be understood to a level that will allow for the kick-off of hard tooling.  With the development risks addressed, we will then be in a position to raise larger amounts of capital - up to an additional estimated $273 million to fund production activities.

We are in the process of refining our production plans with suppliers to start production in 15 months. The key milestones for the 15-month schedule are as follows (with E1, S1 and V1 referring to various vehicle prototype phases):

 
$16.0 million, net proceeds at the close of the Regulation A offering
 
E1 Engineering drawing release
 
E1 Builds begin
 
E1 Testing
 
S1 Production drawing release & tooling kickoff
 
Order long lead equipment
 
Shreveport plant integration
 
Initial 10 retail locations selected
 
Retail lease agreements signed
 
Service partner agreements signed
 
S1 Builds and production validation
 
Initial 10 retail stores build out complete
 
EPA/CARB certification complete
 
Start of Production V1

The anticipated budgets required to achieve the milestones are provided in the table below:

We will need to raise additional funds to complete prototypes, testing and move into production. As noted in the chart above, we need to raise an additional estimated $273 million to fund production activities in the next 15 months and are pursuing multiple options for such funding.  The funding will come from a combination of sources discussed below, as well as more traditional sources (not discussed), such as venture equity, debt arrangements and capital leasing of equipment.

Customer Reservations.  Customer reservations have provided significant funding for us in the past and we expect reservations to be a significant source of short-term liquidity in the future.  With each progressive step in our development, we have experienced a surge in reservations.  Through March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we have received $22.1 million and $20.6 million, respectively, in reservations, which average of $566,072 and $574,460 per month, respectively.  As we achieve each additional milestone in the development of the Elio, customer confidence increases.  Accordingly, we expect to see surges in reservations as the following milestones are achieved and announced:  completion of prototypes, testing results, confirmation of mileage, guarantee of the sales price, hiring at the manufacturing facility, and, hopefully before production commences, scarcity.

Sale of Excess Equipment.  We will not use all of the equipment purchased at the Shreveport facility.  Through December 31, 2015, sales of excess equipment has yielded approximately $3.8 million.  We will continue to sell excess equipment and use the proceeds to pay down the CH Capital Lending loan.

Release of Reservation Holdbacks.  As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 we have $4.8 million and $4.7 million, respectively, held by former credit card processing companies as a percentage of non-refundable reservations.  As of May 18, 2016, $4.0 million had been released to the Company.  The remaining funds are expected to be released in the next twelve months.

Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) Loan Program. In 2007, the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) Program was established by Congress to support the production of fuel-efficient, advanced technology vehicles and components in the United States.  To date, the program, which is administered by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office, has made over $8 billion in loans, including loans to Ford ($5.9 billion), Nissan ($1.45 billion) and Tesla ($465 million).  This loan program provides direct loans to automotive or component manufacturers for re-equipping, expanding, or establishing manufacturing facilities in the United States that produce fuel-efficient advanced technology vehicles (ATVs) or qualifying components, or for engineering integration performed in the U.S. for ATVs or qualifying components.  The ATVM loans are made attractive to applicants due to their low interest rates (set at U.S. Treasury rates (approximately 2% to 4%), minimal fees (no application fees or interest rate spread and only a closing fee of 0.1% of loan principal amount), and long loan term life of up to 25 years (set at the assets’ useful life).  In order to qualify, auto manufacturers must be able to deliver “light duty vehicles” having 25% greater fuel economy than comparable models produced in 2005 or “ultra-efficient vehicles” that achieve at least 75 miles per gallon.

In addition, ATVM borrowers must remain financially viable over the life of the loan without the receipt of additional federal funding associated with the proposed project.
 
The ATVM application process is comprised of 4 stages:
 
1.
Application – Part I:  Determine basic eligibility
 
2.
Application – Part II: Confirmatory due diligence
 
3.
Conditional Commitment: Negotiate term sheet
 
4.
Loan Guarantee: Negotiate final agreements
 
Elio Motors has completed the first stage by submitting an application for a loan of approximately $185 million, the proceeds of which would be used to partly fund the purchase of equipment and equipment installation into the Shreveport facility prior to and ramp up after the start of production.  As of January 15, 2015, the Department of Energy (DOE) has confirmed that the Company has achieved the technical criteria for the loan.  Due diligence has been pending upon the confirmation of the Company’s financial backing. The Company has shared its production timing plans with the DOE, including the financing milestones to be achieved to kickoff production tooling in order to meet the Company’s start of production date. While the DOE has acknowledged and seems to be sensitive to the Company’s requirements, it has not made any commitments regarding its ability to meet these funding milestones. The specific terms and conditions of the ATVM loan will be negotiated with each applicant during the conditional commitment stage.  If the Company is unable to obtain a loan under the ATVM Program, it will rely on funding through customer reservations, selling debt and/or equity securities, and possibly CAFE credits.

CAFE Credits.  In 1975 in response to the Arab oil embargo, the U.S. Congress enacted Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards in an effort to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil and save on fuel costs through the improvement of U.S. automobile fuel efficiencies.  The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is responsible for administering the CAFE program, which was amended in 2007 to establish a trading credit program to incentivize auto manufacturers to further improve vehicle fuel efficiencies.  Auto manufacturers may earn CAFE credits (or be penalized) by exceeding (or failing to meet) increasingly more ambitious compliance standards for the model year of each passenger car or light duty truck produced.  Accumulated CAFE credits are transferable and saleable to other auto manufacturers and can be carried forward up to five years.  Credits (or penalties) are totaled for the manufacturer’s entire production fleet for a particular model year, and are applied at a rate of $55 per 1 mpg above (or below) the standard.  The CAFE standard has been amended to increase mpg for cars and light trucks to 48.7 to 49.7 mpg by 2025.

According to the estimated fuel economy of the Elio, it is expected that we could be well positioned to earn a substantial number of credits, from which we could generate extensive future revenues through the sale and transfer of these credits to other auto industry manufacturers. We have received indications from auto industry manufacturers that they would purchase our credits upon confirmation that we can participate in the CAFE program.  Currently, we do not qualify for participation in the CAFE program, since the Elio is not an automobile.  We have been working with members of Congress and with the former acting head of the NHTSA to permit participation in the program by autocycles.

Item 3. 
Properties.

Our principal office is located at 2942 North 24th Street, Suite 114-700, Phoenix, Arizona, which is a mailing address of an executive suite leased on a month-to-month basis for $46 per month.  In August 2015, we entered into a one-year lease agreement for administrative offices located at 2266 South Dobson Road, Suite 263, Mesa, Arizona for a total of $1,599 per month.
 
In 2013, we acquired the former General Motors (GM) light truck assembly plant in Shreveport, Louisiana to house our manufacturing operations.  The property was one of the facilities transferred to the Revitalizing Auto Communities Environmental Response (“Racer”) Trust in March 2011, which was created to redevelop and sell 89 former GM facilities.  The facility equipment was purchased by us from the Racer Trust, with all of the GM manufacturing equipment in place, for $3 million in cash and a $23 million promissory note.  The real property was purchased by an affiliate of Industrial Realty Group, LLC (“IRG”), the Shreveport Business Park, LLC, for $7.5 million.  IRG and Shreveport Business Park, LLC are entities owned and controlled by Stuart Lichter, one of our directors and significant stockholders.
 
A portion of the purchased machinery and equipment secures a promissory note due to CH Capital Lending, LLC in the principal amount of $9,850,000.  CH Capital Lending purchased the note from GemCap Lending I, LLC in August 2014.  GemCap Lending originally made the loan to us in February 2013.  Interest accrues on the note at 10% per annum, which was due on July 31, 2015.  We entered into a forbearance agreement with CH Capital Lending, LLC in which CH Capital Lending, LLC has agreed to forbear on enforcing the payment of the note until July 31, 2016.  CH Capital Lending, LLC is an affiliate of Stuart Lichter and Mr. Lichter has guaranteed the repayment of this note.  At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the unpaid principal balance of the note was $8,244,012 and $9,850,000, respectively.  See Note 6 Long-Term Debt of the Notes to Financial Statements for more information regarding this debt obligation.

The note to Racer Trust is secured by a lien subordinated to the lien of CH Capital Lending on certain machinery and equipment and is non-interest bearing.  The note, as amended, requires monthly principal payments of $173,500 from January 1, 2016 through July 1, 2017, with the remaining outstanding principal due on July 1, 2017.  As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the outstanding principal balance was $21,126,147 and $21,126,147, respectively.  See Note 6. Long-Term Debt of the Notes to Financial Statements for more information regarding this debt obligation.

We identified equipment in the Shreveport plant that will not be used in production of the Elio and made the equipment available for sale.  Through December 31, 2015, we have received net proceeds of $3.8 million from the sale of equipment, which has been applied to principal and accrued interest on the CH Capital Lending note.  As of December 31, 2015, an additional $2.2 million in equipment was available for sale, which we believe will be sold in 2016.

GM invested $1.5 billion during the 2002 expansion of the facility and as a result, it is one of the most modern automobile manufacturing facilities in North America, with fully integrated chassis conveyors, and moving workstations for engine, interior, body, and glass installation and fluid filling. We believe that the use of this facility by us greatly lowers start-up production risks of the project, prospectively saving as much as $350 million in facility and equipment costs prior to the start of production.

The facility is located on approximately 437 acres in Caddo Parish, in an industrial park southwest of Shreveport, Louisiana. There are three main structures on the property, excluding the wastewater treatment and power generation facilities. The three structures include the general assembly building (to be used by us), the former metal stamping and body manufacturing building (not to be used by us) and the original manufacturing building and paint shop (to be partially used by us). Of the approximately 3.2 million square feet of manufacturing space, we will utilize less than a third.

The facility is located 2 miles from Interstate 20 and approximately 12 miles from downtown Shreveport. It is serviced by 7 active rail spurs, utilized for delivery of raw material and component
 
 
21

 

supplies to the factory floor, as well as for the loading and rail transport of finished vehicles in the marshaling and shipping yard (to be used by us) at the northern end of the property.
 
In December 2013, we entered into an agreement with Shreveport Business Park, LLC to lease 997,375 rentable square feet of manufacturing and warehouse space for a 25-year term, which provides for a rent-free period until the earlier of four months after the start of production or August 1, 2015, after which the base rent will be $249,344 per month.  We have two options to extend the term of the lease for 25 additional years each, as well as an option to expand into additional space.  Since December 2013, we have been obligated to pay taxes, insurance expenses and common expenses with respect to this space.  On July 31, 2015, we entered into an amendment to the lease which extended the base rent commencement date to February 1, 2016 and deferred payment of the base rent for the period February 1, 2016 through July 31, 2016 until August 1, 2016.

Among the terms of our purchase agreement with Racer Trust was our agreement to use and develop the property so as to create at least 1,500 new jobs.  We agreed that if we had not created 1,500 new jobs by February 28, 2016, we would pay Racer Trust $5,000 for each full-time, permanent direct job that fell below the required number.  This commitment was extended until July 1, 2017.

Compensation to Paul Elio for 2016 remains at the same rate.  Connie Grennan’s salary was increased to $175,000 on January 1, 2016.  Hari Iyer was compensated at the same rate through May 31, 2016, the date of his resignation as our Chief Operating Officer.  Effective June 1, 2016, we entered into an independent contractor consulting agreement with Mr. Iyer.  Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Iyer will continue to advance our ATVM loan application.  The agreement has a term of one year and requires payment of $10,000 per month.  We paid $50,000 to Mr. Iyer as a back-end retainer covering the last five months of the agreement’s term in June 2016.

Item 7. 
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Paul Elio and ESG Engineering

The original design for the Elio was conceived by Paul Elio and Elio Engineering, Inc., dba ESG Engineering, a company partially owned and controlled by Paul Elio.  ESG Engineering transferred all rights to the design to the Company, valued at $25,000,000, as consideration for 25,000,000 shares of common stock in the Company.  In addition, we assumed approximately $1,277,187 of payables that ESG Engineering had incurred on behalf of Elio Motors.  At December 31, 2015 and 2014, these outstanding payables were $-0- and $164,827, respectively.  ESG Engineering transferred 12,250,000 shares of common stock in the Company to Paul Elio in November 2012 in consideration for his services in forming and organizing Elio.

Transfer of Consumer Financing Rights

In 2012, we transferred the right to provide consumer financing for the purchase of the Elio to Carr Finance Company, LLC in consideration of Paul Elio’s efforts to devote his time and attention to developing the business of the Company with only limited compensation.  Mr. Elio is a member of Carr Finance Company, LLC.

Guaranty of Loan Repayment Provided by Stuart Lichter; Loan from CH Capital Lending

On February 28, 2013, in connection with the acquisition of certain machinery and equipment at the Shreveport facility, we entered into a promissory note with GemCap Lending I, LLC for $9,850,000, the payment of which is secured by a first lien on our equipment at the Shreveport facility.  Stuart Lichter personally guaranteed the payment of this note.  CH Capital Lending, LLC purchased the loan from GemCap on August 1, 2014.  CH Capital Lending is an affiliate of Stuart Lichter.  On July 31, 2015, we entered into a forbearance agreement with CH Capital Lending in which CH Capital Lending has agreed to forbear on enforcing the payment of this note until July 31, 2016.

Lease with Shreveport Business Park, LLC

Our equipment is located in a plant in Shreveport, Louisiana, which is leased by Shreveport Business Park, LLC, an entity owned and controlled by Stuart Lichter, one of Elio’s directors and significant stockholders.  We entered into an agreement with Shreveport Business Park in December 2013 to sublease 997,375 square feet of manufacturing and warehouse space for a 25-year term, which provides for a rent-free period until the earlier of four months after the start of production or August 1, 2015, after which the base rent will be $249,344 per month.  Since December 2013, the Company has been obligated to pay taxes, insurance expenses and common expenses with respect to this space and is past due in paying these amounts.  On July 31, 2015, we entered into an amendment to the lease which extended the base rent commencement date to February 1, 2016 and deferred payment of the base rent for the period February 1, 2016 through July 31, 2016 until August 1, 2016.

Advances to Paul Elio

Amounts advanced to Paul Elio, our Chief Executive Officer at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and 2014 were $429,022, $328,014 and $74,966, respectively.  The advance accrued interest at the Federal Funds rate per annum, was due on demand and is reflected on the balance sheets as other current assets.  Mr. Elio repaid the advance in full on May 3, 2016.

Options Granted to Stuart Lichter

In consideration for the March 6, 2014 loan of $1,000,500 and the guaranty of the $9,850,000 loan originally made to us by GemCap Lending I, LLC, we granted Stuart Lichter an option to purchase a number of shares of common stock in Elio Motors sufficient to give him a 5% ownership interest, exclusive of his existing ownership (the “5% Option”).  Mr. Lichter may exercise the 5% Option at any time and from time to time until December 15, 2024 for $7,500,000.

We granted a second option to Mr. Lichter in consideration of the May 30, 2014 loan of $300,000.  This second option permits Mr. Lichter to purchase a number of shares of common stock in Elio Motors sufficient to give him a 2% ownership interest, exclusive of his existing ownership (the “2% Option”).  Mr. Lichter may exercise the 2% Option at any time and from time to time until June 29, 2025 for $3,000,000.

In May 2016, we amended and replaced the 5% and 2% Options with an option to purchase up to 1,887,554 shares of our common stock at a price of $5.56 per share until June 29, 2025.

We granted a third option to Mr. Lichter in consideration of his personal guaranty given to PayPal Inc. in the amount of $5,000,000.  We were utilizing PayPal to process reservation deposits and PayPal had held back in excess of $4,000,000 as a reserve against possible chargebacks.  Mr. Lichter provided his personal guaranty to induce PayPal to release $4,000,000 of the reserve to the Company in May 2016.  This third option permits Mr. Lichter to purchase up to 58,824 shares of our common stock at a price of $17.00 per share until May 10, 2021.

Director Independence

As of the date of this registration statement, our common stock is not listed on any exchange, but we are proposing to list our common stock on the NYSE MKT.  An “independent” director is defined in NYSE MKT Rule 803A.  James Holden, David Schembri and Kenneth Way are considered independent directors under this definition.

(1)
We relied upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as all of the investors were deemed to be sophisticated with respect to the investment in the securities due to their financial condition and involvement in the registrant’s business and had access to the kind of information which registration would disclose.
 
 
(2)
We relied upon the exemption from registration contained in Rule 506(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, as the securities were sold only to accredited investors.
 
 
(3)
We relied upon the exemption from registration contained Regulation A under the Securities Act and filed an offering statement which was qualified on November 20, 2015.

Unless otherwise noted, no underwriters or placement agents were used and no commissions were paid in the above stock transactions.  Except for the shares sold pursuant to Regulation A, restrictive legends were placed on the certificates evidencing the securities issued in all of the above transactions.


Item 11.
Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.

Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value.  As of June 30, 2016, we had 26,591,998 shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.
 
The following is a summary of the rights of our capital stock as provided in our articles of incorporation and bylaws.  For more detailed information, please see our articles of incorporation and bylaws, which have been filed as exhibits to this registration statement.
 
Common Stock
 
Voting Rights.  The holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders.  Arizona law provides for cumulative voting for the election of directors.  As a result, any shareholder may cumulate his or her votes by casting them all for any one director nominee or by distributing them among two or more nominees.  This may make it easier for minority shareholders to elect a director.
 
Dividends.  Subject to preferences that may be granted to any then outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor as well as any distributions to the shareholders.  The payment of dividends on the common stock will be a business decision to be made by our board of directors from time to time based upon results of our operations and our financial condition and any other factors that our board of directors considers relevant.  Payment of dividends on the common stock may be restricted by loan agreements, indentures and other transactions entered into by us from time to time.
 
Liquidation Rights. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets remaining after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preference of any then outstanding preferred stock.
 
Absence of Other Rights or Assessments. Holders of common stock have no preferential, preemptive, conversion or exchange rights.  There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.  When issued in accordance with our articles of incorporation and law, shares of our common stock are fully paid and not liable to further calls or assessment by us.
 
Preferred Stock
 
Our board of directors is authorized by our articles of incorporation to establish classes or series of preferred stock and fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such
 
 
32

 
 
class or series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof without any further vote or action by our shareholders.  Any shares of preferred stock so issued would have priority over our common stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights.  Any future issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control without further action by our shareholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock.  At present we have no plans to issue any additional shares of preferred stock or to adopt any new series, preferences or other classification of preferred stock.
 
The issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal.  For instance, the issuance of a series of preferred stock might impede a business combination by including class voting rights that would enable a holder to block such a transaction.  In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our common stock.  Although our board of directors is required to make any determination to issue preferred stock based on its judgment as to the best interests of our shareholders, our board could act in a manner that would discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that some, or a majority, of our shareholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which such shareholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then market price of such stock.  Our board presently does not intend to seek shareholder approval prior to the issuance of currently authorized stock, unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange rules.

Shares Issuable upon Conversion of Notes

Convertible notes in the amount of $5,149,100 as of June 30, 2016 are convertible by the holders into shares of our common stock at any time prior to their maturity in 2022 at conversion prices equal to $5.98 and $9.65 per share. We have granted piggy-back registration rights with respect to these shares.

Placement Agent Warrants

Designees of the placement agent of our convertible note offering hold warrants to purchase up to 83,621 shares of common stock at $7.18 per share and 3,534 shares at $11.58 per share.  These warrants are exercisable until December 2020.

Warrants Issued in connection with Regulation A Offering
 
Warrants to purchase a total of 3,016 shares at $12.00 per share, issued to parties that provided services in connection with our Regulation A offering, are currently outstanding and can be exercised until 2019 and 2023.

Stock Options Granted to Stuart Lichter
 
We have granted stock options to Stuart Lichter that allow him to purchase 1,887,554 shares at $5.56 per share and 58,824 shares at $17.00 per share.  These option agreements expire in 2025 and 2021, respectively.
 
2016 Stock Option Plan
 
Our 2016 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan authorizes the grant of up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits and similar capital changes) in connection with incentive stock option grants and non-qualified stock option grants.  Employees and, in the case of nonqualified stock options, directors, consultants or any affiliate are eligible to receive grants under our plans.  No options have been granted under the Plan as of June 30, 2016.

Certain Anti-takeover Effects

General.  Certain provisions of our articles of incorporation, our bylaws, and Arizona law may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay or prevent a tender offer or other acquisition transaction that a shareholder might consider to be in his or her best interest.  The summary of the provisions of our articles, bylaws and Arizona law set forth below does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our articles, bylaws and Arizona law.

Special Meetings of Shareholders.  Our bylaws provide that, except as required by law, special meetings of shareholders may be called by a majority of our Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the President, or shareholders who hold in the aggregate at least 25% of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Company (“Requesting Shareholders”).  Requesting Shareholders must meet certain qualifications and must submit a written request to our Corporate Secretary, containing the information required by our bylaws.  A request for a special meeting made by Requesting Shareholders may be rejected if (1) a meeting of shareholders that included an identical or substantially similar item of business, as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors, was held not more than 90 days before our Corporate Secretary received the request; (2) our Board of Directors has called or calls for a meeting of shareholders to be held within 90 days after our Corporate Secretary receives the request and our Board of Directors determines in good faith that the business to be conducted at such meeting includes similar business to that stated in the request; or (3) the request relates to an item of business that is not a proper subject for shareholder action under, or involves a violation of, applicable law.

Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations.  A shareholder can submit shareholder proposals and nominate candidates for election to our Board of Directors in connection with our annual meeting if he or she follows the advance notice and other relevant provisions set forth in our bylaws.  With respect to director nominations at an annual meeting, shareholders must submit written notice to our Corporate Secretary at least 180 days prior to the date of the meeting.  With respect to shareholder proposals to bring other business before the annual meeting, shareholders must submit a written notice to our Corporate Secretary not fewer than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of our previous year’s annual meeting of shareholders.  However, if we have changed the date of the annual meeting by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the previous year’s annual meeting, the written notice must be submitted no earlier than 120 days before the annual meeting and not later than 90 days before the annual meeting or ten days after the day we make public the date of the annual meeting.

A shareholder must also comply with all applicable laws in proposing business to be conducted and in nominating directors.  The notice provisions of the bylaws do not affect rights of shareholders to request inclusion of proposals in our proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act.

Amendment to Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.  Both the Board of Directors and the shareholders must approve amendments to an Arizona corporation’s articles of incorporation, except that the Board of Directors may adopt specified ministerial amendments without shareholder approval.  Unless the articles of incorporation, Arizona law or the Board of Directors would require a greater vote or unless the articles of incorporation or Arizona law would require a different quorum, the vote required by each voting group allowed or required to vote on the amendment would be:

 
·
a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the voting group, if the amendment would create dissenters’ rights for that voting group; and
 
 
·
in any other case, if a quorum is present in person or by proxy consisting of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by the voting group, the votes cast by the voting group in favor of the amendment must exceed the votes cast against the amendment by the voting group.

 
34

 

The Board of Directors may amend or repeal the corporation’s bylaws unless either: (1) the articles or applicable law reserves this power exclusively to shareholders in whole or in part or (2) the shareholders in amending or repealing a particular bylaws provide expressly that the Board may not amend or repeal that bylaw.  An Arizona corporation’s shareholders may amend or repeal the corporation’s bylaws even though they may also be amended or repealed by the Board of Directors.  Our bylaws may not be amended or repealed without the vote of a majority of the Board of Directors then in office or the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast on the matter at a meeting of shareholders.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

VStock Transfer, LLC, 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, New York 11598 is the transfer agent and registrar for our common stock.


Item 12.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Under the corporate laws of the State of Arizona and our articles of incorporation, we have broad powers to indemnify our directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Our articles of incorporation provide for mandatory indemnification of our officers, directors, employees and agents, to the fullest extent permissible under Arizona law.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our articles of incorporation may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty.  They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other shareholders.  Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions.  At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents regarding which indemnification is sought, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.


Item 13.
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

The financial statements of Elio Motors, Inc. are filed under this Item, beginning on page F-1.


Item 14.
Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

On May 3, 2016, we engaged Eide Bailly LLP to audit our balance sheets as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, cash flows, and schedules supporting those financial statements for the years then ended, in accordance with the standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

During our two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding Eide Bailly’s engagement, neither we nor anyone on our behalf consulted Eide Bailly regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to us that Eide Bailly concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a “disagreement” or “reportable event” (within the meaning of Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K and Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, respectively).
 
 
35

 

In approving the selection of Eide Bailly as our independent registered public accounting firm, our board of directors considered all relevant factors, including that no services were previously provided by Eide Bailly to us.

Our previous independent accounting firm audited our financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, but not in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Elio Motors, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Elio Motors, Inc. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. Elio Motors, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Elio Motors, Inc. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered net losses since inception and has accumulated a significant deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has changed its accounting policy for accounting for debt issuance costs by adopting the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
 
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the previously issued financial statements contained errors to certain account balances and accordingly, the financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 have been restated to correct these errors.  Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014
 
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Organization and Business Activities
Elio Motors, Inc., an Arizona Corporation, (the “Company”), was formed on October 26, 2009. The Company was created to provide affordable transportation to those commuters seeking an alternative to today’s offering; at the same time provide vital American jobs. The Company is in the process of designing a three wheeled vehicle for mass production in the U.S. that achieves ultra-high fuel economy, exceeds safety standards and a targeted base price of $6,800, which excludes options, destination/delivery charges, taxes, title and registration.

Pursuant to the articles of incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 preferred shares, of which 100,000 preferred shares are designated as Series A Convertible Preferred shares (“Series A shares”). The Company’s common stock and preferred shares have no par value. The Series A shares are convertible into an equal number of common shares, subject to certain dilution adjustments, at the holder’s election. The Series A shares rank senior and prior to the common shares and any other class of preferred shares with respect to dividend rights, and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution. Issued Series A shares shall accrue and accumulate an 8% cumulative preferential cash dividend based on the purchase price per share. Such dividends are payable when declared by the Board of Directors of the Company. There were no preferred shares issued or outstanding at December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. From inception, the Company has financed its business activities through customer deposits, debt issuance and contributions from stockholders. The Company expects to obtain funding through additional debt and equity placement offerings until it consistently achieves positive cash flow from operations after starting production. Management expects that cash on hand combined with anticipated funding sources will provide the Company with adequate funding through December 31, 2016. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to raise adequate funds, achieve, or sustain profitability or positive cash flows from its operations.

Through December 31, 2015, the Company has not recorded any revenues for the sale of its vehicle product nor does it expect to record revenues of any significant amount of product prior to commercialization of its vehicle. Once the Company’s planned principal operations commence, its focus will be on the manufacturing and marketing of its vehicles and the continued research and development of new products. The Company may not be profitable even if it succeeds in commercializing its product. The Company expects to make substantial expenditures and to incur additional operating losses for at least the next several years as it continues to develop the vehicle, increase manufacturing capacity for production, and enter into production and marketing collaborations with other companies, if available on commercially reasonable terms, or develop these capabilities internally.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty and whether the Company can continue as a going concern past 2016.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the valuation of services provided in exchange for common stock, the utilization and realization of machinery and equipment held for production, the valuation of assets held for sale, the fair value of derivative instruments, and the discount on debt for warrants granted in connection with the issuance of promissory notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial Instruments
FASB ASC Subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments.  The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, other current assets and liabilities, long-term debt and derivative instruments.  The fair value of the Company’s cash, accounts payable, other current assets and liabilities approximates their carrying value due to their relatively short maturities.  The fair value of the Company’s senior and subordinated debt instruments approximates their carrying value as the interest is tied to or approximates market rates, or is short term in nature.  The fair value of the Companies convertible subordinated debt instruments approximates the carrying value as the applicable interest rate has been adjusted to account for the beneficial conversion feature, or is short term in nature.  For fair value of derivative instruments refer to Note 5.

Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk
The business is subject to significant risks, including, but not limited to, the risks in the regulatory approval process, the results of research and development efforts, and competition from other vehicles.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company has its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with various financial institutions. Accounts at each U.S. institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. Cash may at times exceed the amount covered by FDIC insurance; however management does not believe the Company has significant risk in this area.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid unrestricted investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash
Restricted cash held in escrow as of December 31, 2015 includes $1,097,831 deposited in escrow accounts with financial institutions for future payment of property taxes and principal payments on notes payable from the sale of machinery and equipment

In addition, $2,708,547 of the proceeds from the Company’s Regulation A offering were held in escrow as of December 31, 2015.  These funds were released in February and April 2016. In addition, the Company has recorded $5,816,407 as restricted cash held for customer deposits as of December 31, 2015.  This includes amounts held as restricted that relate to refundable customer deposits, as well as amounts held as reserves by credit card processers.  In May 2016 $4,000,000 of these funds were released and thus has been classified on the balance sheet as a current asset.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Property and equipment held for sale is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell.  Major improvements are capitalized while expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor improvements are charged to expense. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the assets and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Property and equipment held for use are depreciated and amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets once placed in service.
 
The estimated useful lives for property and equipment are as follows:
 
Facility under capital sublease
 
25 years
Machinery and equipment
 
3-10 years
Vehicles
 
3-5 years
Computer equipment and software
 
2-5 years

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment – Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, property and equipment and identifiable intangible assets with estimable useful lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. For the years ended December 31, 2015 the Company recognized an impairment charge of $1,963,448. There was no impairment charge for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Assets Held For Sale
In connection with a strategy to reduce debt, the Company decided to sell machinery and equipment held at its Shreveport, Louisiana facility that will not be used during production.  The carrying value of the machinery and equipment held for sale is stated at its lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell of $2,200,000 and $6,441,501, which is shown as “Assets held for sale” at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, in the accompanying balance sheets in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment.

The estimated value is based on negotiations with potential buyers.  The amount that the Company will ultimately realize could differ materially from the amount recorded in the financial statements.  The Company anticipates disposing of all assets held for sale within one year.

Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants with anti-dilution (“down-round”) provisions under the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, (“ASC 815”) which require such warrants to be recorded as a liability and adjusted to fair value at each reporting period.

The Company used the Monte Carlo method to calculate fair value and accounts for the issuance of common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with capital financing transactions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815. Based upon the provisions of ASC 815, the Company classifies as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net-cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company) or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement).

Accounting for Debt/Proceeds Allocation
The Company accounts for the issuance of debt with detachable warrants under FASB ASC Subtopic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASC 470-20”). Pursuant to ASC 470-20, the warrants issued in connection with the related party debt (Note 6) are accounted for as equity due to the stock settlement available to the holder. The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the valuation model to estimate the fair value of the warrants. These warrants were fair valued on the issuance date and recorded at the relative fair value of the warrants and underlying related party promissory notes. The warrants are not subsequently revalued.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
Debt Issuance Costs
Deferred financing costs are legal and other costs incurred in connection with obtaining new financing. During 2015, FASB Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) (“ASU 2015-03”) was issued. ASU 2015-03 simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs and requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the accompanying balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The Company has elected to early adopt such guidance in order to simplify the accounting for its debt issuance costs, with the exception of the debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the Tier 1 Subordinated Convertible Note Payable, as discussed in Note 6.  As of December 31, 2015 the Tier 1 note had a beneficial conversion feature and debt issuance costs in excess of the note amount.  As a result the debt issuance costs were recorded as a deferred loan cost.  As of December 31, 2015, the current and long-term portion of deferred loan costs was $170,628 and $981,103, respectively.

ASU 2015-03 does not change the accounting for amortization of the debt issuance costs. The Company amortizes the debt issuance costs to interest expense over the term of the respective note payable using the effective yield method. Deferred financing costs amortized to interest expense amounted to $202,987, $264,628, and $312,520 for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively.

Beneficial Conversion Feature
From time to time, the Company may issue convertible notes that may have conversion prices that create an embedded beneficial conversion feature pursuant to FASB ASC Subtopic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options.  A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible is in excess of the conversion price. In accordance with this guidance, the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to common stock.  The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from products sold when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is determinable and collection is reasonably assured.  Deposits collected in advance of the period in which the product is delivered are recorded as a liability under refundable and nonrefundable deposits as the Company has not fulfilled their obligation to the customer.

Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs, which amounted to $4,611,306, $4,264,953 and $1,321,951 for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, are included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.

Research and Development Costs
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 730, Research and Development, research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses consist of purchased technology, purchased research and development rights and outside services for research and development activities associated with product development. In accordance with ASC Topic 730, the cost to purchase such technology and research and development rights are required to be charged to expense if there is currently no alternative future use for this technology and, therefore, no separate economic value.  Research and development costs amounted to $2,085,590, $5,469,895 and $7,174,601 for the years ended December 31 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Stock Split
On July 9, 2015, the Company completed a 500-for-1 stock split for all outstanding common stock.  References made to outstanding share or per share amounts in the accompanying financial statements and applicable disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this 500-for-1 stock split.  The number of authorized shares as reflected on the accompanying balance sheets was not affected by the stock split and accordingly has not been adjusted.

Loss per Common Share
The Company computes loss per common share, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic income or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the issuance of common shares, if dilutive, that could result from the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants.  These potentially dilutive securities were not included in the calculation of loss per common share for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, or 2013 because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
 
As of December 31, 2015, potentially dilutive securities consist of outstanding stock options, warrants, and convertible subordinated notes payable to acquire 2,854,819 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2014, potentially dilutive securities consisted of outstanding stock options and warrants to acquire 1,887,554 shares of common stock.  As of December 31, 2013, potentially dilutive securities consisted of convertible notes payable to acquire 412,500 shares of common stock.
 
Income Taxes
The Company is taxed as a C corporation in the United States of America. The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. The realizability of deferred tax assets is assessed throughout the year and a valuation allowance is established as necessary.

Income Taxes (Continued)
The Company follows the requirements of ASC 740, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely than not and a measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In making this assessment, the Company must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based solely on the technical merits of the position. Management believes that the Company has taken no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 and therefore no accruals have been made in the financial statements related to uncertain tax positions.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. 

ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing U.S. GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.  ASU 2014-09 is effective first quarter of fiscal 2018 using either of two methods: (i) retrospective to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09; or (ii) retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined per ASU 2014-09. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”). This standard requires that deferred income tax liabilities and assets be presented as noncurrent assets or liabilities in the balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods, and may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. Based on our preliminary assessment, we do not expect this new standard to have a material impact on our financial statements or related disclosures. We will adopt this standard on the effective date.

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). This update substantially revises standards for the recognition, measurement and presentation of financial instruments. This standard revises an entity’s accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments.  ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted for certain requirements. We are assessing the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on our financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this ASU revise the accounting related to lessee accounting.  Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases. The new lease guidance also simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The amendments in this ASU are effective for us beginning on January 1, 2019 and should be applied through a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements.
 
NOTE 2 RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, certain errors resulting in the misstatement of the previously issued financial statements were discovered by the Company.  The misstatement was caused by an inaccurate valuation of the beneficial conversion feature, inaccurate valuation of the options obtained in connection with the subordinated promissory note from a director and stockholder, updated valuation of fixed assets held for sale as well as fixed assets to be used in production, change in the timing of the release of cash held for customer deposits, change in accounts payable due to the late submission of invoices by vendors, and the change in the method used to value derivative liabilities.  Accordingly, amounts reported have been restated in the 2015, 2014, and 2013 financial statements to correct the error.

NOTE 5 FAIR VALUES OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (Continued)
 
Level 1—Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Valuation is based on observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The Company uses valuation methods and assumptions that consider among other factors the fair value of the underlying stock, risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected life and dividend rates in estimating fair value for the warrants considered to be derivative instruments.

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for applicable assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2015.

The Company’s recurring Level 3 instruments consisted of stock warrant liabilities and assets held for sale.  Warrant liabilities are valued using the Monte Carlo option pricing model. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the stock warrant liability are risk-free interest rate over the term of the instrument, time to liquidity event, dividend yield, and volatility of equity.  The change in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significant change of fair value measurement.  The following table describes the valuation techniques used to calculate the fair value for the warrant liabilities in the Level 3 hierarchy:

Given the lack of book income in the history of the Company and the uncertainty as to the likelihood of future taxable income, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against all its deferred tax assets because it is more likely than not that any of its deferred tax assets would be realized.  The Company will evaluate the appropriateness of the valuation allowance on an annual basis and adjust the allowance as considered necessary.  The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations for all years from inception.  No examinations are currently pending.
 
NOTE 10 COMMON STOCK
 
The Company received engineering and prototype development services from Elio Engineering, Inc. dba ESG Engineering, valued at $25,000,000.  In exchange for these services, the Company transferred 25,000,000 shares of common stock to Elio Engineering, Inc. in October 2011.

During December 2013, in connection with an investor’s capital contribution of $7,484,056, net of equity issuance fees of $15,944­ the President and CEO transferred 5,000,000 shares of common stock from his personal holdings to the investor. The President and CEO did not receive any compensation for this transfer of shares. The Company’s total shares issued and outstanding did not change as a result of this transfer during 2013.

During February 2014, outstanding convertible notes and accrued interest in the amount of $275,000 and $61,838, respectively, were converted to 412,500 shares of common stock.  The shares were transferred from the President and CEO’s personal holdings to the convertible note holders.  The President and CEO did not receive any compensation for this transfer of shares.

During 2009, the Company received lobbying services from Black Swan, LLC (“Black Swan”). In exchange for these lobbying services, the Company issued a contingent equity grant. Black Swan is entitled to receive up to 4% of outstanding common stock of the Company if the Company receives funding in excess of $10,000,000 under the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing program. On July 17, 2014, the Company entered into an amended agreement where Black Swan relinquished their contingent equity grant in exchange for 62,500 shares of common stock.  The Company recorded the common stock granted to Black Swan using the relative fair value approach based on the Company’s estimated fair value. The grant vested immediately and $725,000 was recorded to general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014.

During December 2014, two of the Company’s directors contributed $150,000 in exchange for 15,000 shares of common stock.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (of a normal and recurring nature) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

NOTE 2
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
Elio Motors, Inc., an Arizona corporation (the “Company”), was formed on October 26, 2009. The Company was created to provide affordable transportation to those commuters seeking an alternative to today’s offering and at the same time provide vital American jobs. The Company is in the process of designing a three wheeled vehicle for mass production in the U.S. that achieves ultra-high fuel economy, exceeds safety standards and a targeted base price of $6,800, which excludes options, destination/delivery charges, taxes, title and registration.

Pursuant to the articles of incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 preferred shares, of which 100,000 preferred shares are designated as Series A Convertible Preferred shares (“Series A shares”). The Company’s common stock and preferred shares have no par value. The Series A shares are convertible into an equal number of common shares, subject to certain dilution adjustments, at the holder’s election. The Series A shares rank senior and prior to the common shares and any other class of preferred shares with respect to dividend rights, and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution. Issued Series A shares shall accrue and accumulate an 8% cumulative preferential cash dividend based on the purchase price per share. Such dividends are payable when declared by the Board of Directors of the Company. There were no preferred shares issued at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

NOTE 3
RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
During the periods presented in the financial statements, certain errors resulting in the misstatement of the previously issued financial statements were discovered by the Company.  The misstatement was caused by an inaccurate valuation of the beneficial conversion feature, inaccurate valuation of the options obtained in connection with the subordinated promissory note from a director and stockholder, updated valuation of fixed assets held for sale as well as fixed assets to be used in production, change in the timing of the release of cash held for customer deposits, change in accounts payable due to the late submission of invoices by vendors, and the change in the method used to value derivative liabilities.  Accordingly, amounts reported have been restated in the financial statements to correct the error.

BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic and diluted loss per common share common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Loss per share excludes the impact of outstanding options and warrants as they are antidilutive. Potential common shares excluded from the calculation at March 31, 2016 relate to 108,316 from warrants, 1,995,594 from options, and 847,031 from convertible notes payable.  At March 31, 2015 the potential common shares excluded relate to 1,887,554 from options, and 30,100 from convertible notes payable.


NOTE 5
FAIR VALUES OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Company groups its assets and liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

Level 1—Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Valuation is based on observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The Company uses valuation methods and assumptions that consider among other factors the fair value of the underlying stock, risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected life and dividend rates in estimating fair value for the warrants considered to be derivative instruments.

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for applicable assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2016.

FAIR VALUES OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (Continued)
The Company’s recurring Level 3 instruments consisted of stock warrant liabilities and assets held for sale.  Warrant liabilities are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the stock warrant liability are risk-free interest rate over the term of the instrument, time to liquidity event, dividend yield, and volatility of equity.  The change in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significant change of fair value measurement.  The following table describes the valuation techniques used to calculate the fair value for the warrant liabilities in the Level 3 hierarchy:

(x)
to grant Options to Employees, Directors and Consultants employed outside the United States or to otherwise adopt or administer such procedures or subplans that the Administrator deems appropriate or necessary on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Administrator, be necessary or desirable to further the purpose of the Plan; and

 
(xi)
to take such other action, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator deems appropriate.

The express grant in the Plan of any specific power to the Administrator shall not be construed as limiting any power or authority of the Administrator; provided that the Administrator may not exercise any right or power reserved to the Board. Any decision made, or action taken, by the Administrator or in connection with the administration of this Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in the Plan.

5.
Eligibility. Nonstatutory Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Directors and Consultants as the Administrator may determine from time to time. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company or a Parent or a Subsidiary of the Company as the Administrator may determine from time to time. An Employee, Director or Consultant who has been granted an Option may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional Options. Options may be granted to such Employees, Directors or Consultants who are residing in non-U.S. jurisdictions as the Administrator may determine from time to time.

6.           Terms and Conditions of Options.

 
(a)
Designation of Option. Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, an Option will qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code only to the extent the $100,000 limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is not exceeded. The $100,000 limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is calculated based on the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to Options designated as Incentive Stock Options which become exercisable for the first time by a Grantee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company). For purposes of this calculation, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the grant date of the relevant Option. In the event that the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder are amended after the date the Plan becomes effective to provide for a different limit on the Fair Market Value of Shares permitted to be subject to Incentive Stock Options, then such different limit will be automatically incorporated herein and will apply to any Options granted after the effective date of such amendment.

 
(b)
Conditions of Option. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Administrator shall determine the provisions, terms, and conditions of each Option including, but not limited to, the Option vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal, forfeiture provisions, form of payment (cash, Shares, or other consideration) upon exercise of the Option, payment contingencies, and satisfaction of any performance criteria.

 
(c)
Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be the term stated in the Option Agreement, provided, however, that the term of an Option shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof. However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Grantee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.
 
 
Elio Motors, Inc. 2016 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan – page 9

 
 
 
(d)
Transferability of Options. Incentive Stock Options may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Grantee, only by the Grantee. Nonstatutory Stock Options shall be transferable (i) by will and by the laws of descent and distribution and (ii) during the lifetime of the Grantee, to the extent and in the manner authorized by the Administrator, but only to the extent such transfers are made to family members, to family trusts, to family controlled entities, to charitable organizations, and pursuant to domestic relations orders or agreements, in all cases without payment for such transfers to the Grantee. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrator, all vesting, exercisability and forfeiture provisions that are conditioned on the Grantee’s continued employment or service shall continue to be determined with reference to the Grantee’s employment or service (and not to the status of the transferee) after any transfer of a Nonstatutory Stock Option pursuant to this Section 6(d), and the responsibility to pay any taxes in connection with a Nonstatutory Stock Option shall remain with the Grantee notwithstanding any transfer other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee may designate one or more beneficiaries of the Grantee’s Option in the event of the Grantee’s death on a beneficiary designation form provided by the Administrator.

 
(e)
Time of Granting Options. The date of grant of an Option shall for all purposes be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination to grant such Option, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator.

7.           Option Exercise Price, Consideration and Taxes.

 
(a)
Exercise Price. The exercise price for an Option shall be as follows:

 
(i)
In the case of an Incentive Stock Option:

 
(A)
granted to an Employee who, at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant; or

 
(B)
granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in the preceding paragraph, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

 
(ii)
In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(iv)
payment through a broker-assisted cashless exercise program made available by the Company;

 
(v)
payment through a “net exercise” procedure established by the Company such that, without the payment of any funds, the Grantee may exercise the Option and receive the net number of Shares; or

Taxes. Upon exercise of an Option, if required by Applicable Law, the Company shall withhold or collect from the Grantee an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations, including, but not limited to, by surrender of the whole number of Shares covered by the Option, if applicable, sufficient to satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligations incident to the exercise or vesting of an Option (calculated at the statutory minimum amount for such withholding).

(b)
Exercise of Option Following Termination of Continuous Service.

 
(i)
An Option may not be exercised after the termination date of such Option set forth in the Option Agreement and may be exercised following the termination of a Grantee’s Continuous Service only to the extent provided in the Option Agreement.

 
(ii)
Where the Option Agreement permits a Grantee to exercise an Option following the termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service for a specified period, the Option shall terminate to the extent not exercised on the last day of the specified period or the last day of the original term of the Option, whichever occurs first.

 
(iii)
Any Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option to the extent not exercised within the time permitted by law for the exercise of Incentive Stock Options following the termination of a Grantee’s Continuous Service shall convert automatically to a Nonstatutory Stock Option and thereafter shall be exercisable as such to the extent exercisable by its terms for the period specified in the Option Agreement.

9.           Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

 
(a)
If at any time the Administrator determines that the delivery of Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Option is or may be unlawful under Applicable Laws, the vesting or right to exercise an Option or to otherwise receive Shares pursuant to the terms of an Option shall be suspended until the Administrator determines that such delivery is lawful and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. The Company shall have no obligation to effect any registration or qualification of the Shares under federal or state laws.

 
(b)
The Administrator may provide that the Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to such further agreements, restrictions, conditions or limitations as the Administrator in its discretion may specify prior to the exercise of such Option, including without limitation, conditions on vesting or transferability, forfeiture or repurchase provisions and method of payment for the Shares issued upon exercise of such Option (including the actual or constructive surrender of Shares already owned by the Grantee) or payment of taxes arising in connection with an Option.

10.
Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company and Section 11 hereof, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Option, and the number of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan, the exercise or purchase price of each such outstanding Option, as well as any other terms that the Administrator determines require adjustment shall be proportionately adjusted for (i) any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination or reclassification of the Shares, or similar transaction affecting the Shares, (ii) any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, (iii) any other transaction with respect to Common Stock including a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation (including a spin-off or other distribution of stock or property), reorganization, liquidation (whether partial or complete) or any similar transaction; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration” or (iv) any distribution of cash or other assets to stockholders other than a normal cash dividend (collectively “adjustments”). Any such adjustments to outstanding Options will be effected in a manner that precludes the enlargement of rights and benefits under such Options and shall be designed to comply with Sections 409A and 424 of the Code (to the extent applicable). In connection with the foregoing adjustments, the Administrator may, in its discretion, prohibit the exercise of Options during certain periods of time. Such adjustments shall be made by the Administrator and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as the Administrator determines, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason hereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Option.

11.           Corporate Transactions and Changes in Control.

 
(a)
Termination of Option to Extent Not Assumed in Corporate Transaction. Effective upon the consummation of a Corporate Transaction, all outstanding Options under the Plan shall terminate. However, all such Options shall not terminate to the extent they are Assumed in connection with the Corporate Transaction.

 
(b)
Acceleration of Option Upon Corporate Transaction or Change in Control.
 
 
Elio Motors, Inc. 2016 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan – page 13

 
 
 
(i)
Corporate Transaction. Except as provided otherwise in an individual Option Agreement, in the event of a Corporate Transaction, for the portion of each Option that is neither Assumed nor Replaced, such portion of the Option shall automatically become fully vested and exercisable and be released from any repurchase or forfeiture rights (other than repurchase rights exercisable at Fair Market Value) for all of the Shares at the time represented by such portion of the Option, immediately prior to the specified effective date of such Corporate Transaction, provided that the Grantee’s Continuous Service has not terminated prior to such date.

 
(ii)
Change in Control. Except as provided otherwise in an individual Option Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control which also is a Corporate Transaction), each Option which is at the time outstanding under the Plan automatically shall become fully vested and exercisable and be released from any repurchase or forfeiture rights (other than repurchase rights exercisable at Fair Market Value), immediately prior to the specified effective date of such Change in Control, for all of the Shares at the time represented by such Option, provided that the Grantee’s Continuous Service has not terminated prior to such date.

 
(c)
Effect of Acceleration on Incentive Stock Options. Any Incentive Stock Option accelerated under this Section 11 in connection with a Corporate Transaction or Change in Control shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code only to the extent the $100,000 dollar limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is not exceeded.

12.
Effective Date and Term of Plan. Subject to approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Corporation prior to 12 months following the date of grant of the first Option hereunder, this Plan shall be deemed effective as of the date it is adopted by the Board. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated. Subject to Applicable Laws, Options may be granted under the Plan upon its becoming effective.

13.           Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan.

 
(a)
The Board may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made without the approval of the Company’s stockholders to the extent such approval is required by Applicable Laws.

 
(b)
No Option may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or after termination of the Plan.

 
(c)
No suspension or termination of the Plan (including termination of the Plan under Section 12, above) shall adversely affect any rights under Options already granted to a Grantee.

14.
Limitation of Liability. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.
 
 
Elio Motors, Inc. 2016 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan – page 14

 
 
15.
No Effect on Terms of Employment/Consulting Relationship. The Plan shall not confer upon any Grantee any right with respect to the Grantee’s Continuous Service, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the right of the Company or a Related Entity to terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Service at any time, with or without cause including, but not limited to, Cause, and with or without notice. The ability of the Company or any Related Entity to terminate the employment of a Grantee who is employed at will is in no way affected by its determination that the Grantee’s Continuous Service has been terminated for Cause for the purposes of this Plan.

16.
No Effect on Retirement and Other Benefit Plans. Except as specifically provided in a retirement or other benefit plan of the Company or a Related Entity, Options shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits or contributions under any retirement plan of the Company or a Related Entity, and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of any kind or any benefit plan subsequently instituted under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to level of compensation. The Plan is not a “Retirement Plan”, “Pension Plan” or “Welfare Plan” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

17.
Unfunded Obligation. Grantees shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company. Any amounts payable to Grantees pursuant to the Plan shall be unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes, including, without limitation, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Neither the Company nor any Related Entity shall be required to segregate any monies from its general funds, or to create any trusts, or establish any special accounts with respect to such obligations. The Company shall retain at all times beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder. Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Grantee account shall not create or constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Administrator, the Company or any Related Entity and a Grantee, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Grantee or the Grantee’s creditors in any assets of the Company or a Related Entity. The Grantees shall have no claim against the Company or any Related Entity for any changes in the value of any assets that may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Plan.

18.
Construction. Captions and titles contained herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of the Plan. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. Use of the term “or” is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
 
 
Elio Motors, Inc. 2016 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan – page 15

 
 
19.
Nonexclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board, the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval, nor any provision of the Plan will be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such additional compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of Options otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
 
20.
Governing Law. This Plan and any agreements or other documents hereunder shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of Arizona to the extent not preempted by federal law. Any reference in this Plan or in the agreement or other document evidencing any Options to a provision of law or to a rule or regulation shall be deemed to include any successor law, rule or regulation of similar effect or applicability.

The foregoing 2016 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (consisting of 16 pages, including this page) was duly adopted and approved by the Board of Directors on April 25, 2016.

ELIO MOTORS, INC.
 2016 INCENTIVE AND NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION PLAN
STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT

1.
Grant of Option. Elio Motors, Inc., an Arizona corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to the Grantee (the “Grantee”) named in the Notice of Stock Option Award (the “Notice”), an option (the “Option”) to purchase the Total Number of Shares of Common Stock subject to the Option (the “Shares”) set forth in the Notice, at the Exercise Price per Share set forth in the Notice (the “Exercise Price”) subject to the terms and provisions of the Notice, this Stock Option Award Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) and the Company’s 2016 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), which are incorporated herein by reference. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Option Agreement.

If designated in the Notice as an Incentive Stock Option, the Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code. However, notwithstanding such designation, the Option will qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code only to the extent the $100,000 dollar limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is not exceeded. The $100,000 limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is calculated based on the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to options designated as Incentive Stock Options which become exercisable for the first time by the Grantee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company). For purposes of this calculation, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the shares subject to such options shall be determined as of the grant date of the relevant option.

2.           Exercise of Option.

 
(a)
Right to Exercise. The Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement. The Option shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11 of the Plan relating to the exercisability or termination of the Option in the event of a Corporate Transaction or Change in Control. The Grantee shall be subject to reasonable limitations on the number of requested exercises during any monthly or weekly period as determined by the Administrator. In no event shall the Company issue fractional Shares.

 
(b)
Method of Exercise. The Option shall be exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice (a form of which is attached as Exhibit A) or by such other procedure as specified from time to time by the Administrator which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the whole number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised, and such other provisions as may be required by the Administrator. The exercise notice shall be delivered in person, by certified mail, or by such other method (including electronic transmission) as determined from time to time by the Administrator to the Company accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price and, if required, all applicable income and employment taxes required to be withheld. The Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such notice accompanied by the Exercise Price, which, to the extent selected, shall be deemed to be satisfied by use of the broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure to pay the Exercise Price provided in Section 3(d) below to the extent such procedure is available to the Grantee at the time of exercise and such an exercise would not violate any Applicable Law.
 
 
Elio Motors, Inc. 2016 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan – page 20

 
 
 
(c)
Taxes. To the extent required by Applicable Law, upon exercise of the Option, the Company or the Grantee’s employer may offset or (from any amount owed by the Company or the Grantee’s employer to the Grantee) or collect from the Grantee or other person an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations. Furthermore, in the event of any determination that the Company has failed to collect a sum sufficient to pay all taxes due in connection with the Option, the Grantee agrees to pay the Company the amount of such deficiency in cash within five (5) days after receiving a written demand from the Company to do so, whether or not the Grantee is an employee of the Company at that time.

3.
Method of Payment. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Grantee; provided, however, that such exercise method does not then violate any Applicable Law:

 
(a)
cash;

 
(b)
check;

 
(c)
surrender of Shares held for the requisite period, if any, necessary to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes, or delivery of a properly executed form of attestation of ownership of Shares as the Administrator may require which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender or attestation equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised;

 
(d)
if permitted by the Administrator, payment through a “net exercise” such that, without the payment of any funds, the Grantee may exercise the Option and receive the net number of Shares equal to (i) the number of Shares as to which the Option is being exercised, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Fair Market Value per Share (on such date as is determined by the Administrator) less the Exercise Price per Share, and the denominator of which is such Fair Market Value per Share (the number of net Shares to be received shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares); or

 
(e)
if permitted by the Administrator, payment through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Grantee (i) shall provide written instructions to a Company-designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of some or all of the purchased Shares and remit to the Company sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased Shares and (ii) shall provide written directives to the Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased Shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale transaction.
 
 
Elio Motors, Inc. 2016 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan – page 21

 

4.
Restrictions on Exercise. The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of the Shares subject to the Option upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any Applicable Laws. If the exercise of the Option within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 5, 6 and 7 of this Option Agreement is prevented by the provisions of this Section 4, the Option shall remain exercisable until one (1) month after the date the Grantee is notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice.

5.
Termination or Change of Continuous Service.

 
(a)
In the event of the Grantee’s change in status from Employee, Director or Consultant to any other status of Employee, Director or Consultant, the Option shall remain in effect and the Option shall continue to vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice; provided, however, that with respect to any Incentive Stock Option that shall remain in effect after a change in status from Employee to Director or Consultant, such Incentive Stock Option shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option on the day three (3) months and one (1) day following such change in status.

 
(b)
In the event the Grantee’s Continuous Service is terminated by the Company or a Related Entity for Cause (other than pursuant to clause (iv) or (v) of the definition of Cause), the Grantee may, but only within thirty (30) days commencing on the date of Grantee’s termination (“Termination Date”) but in no event later than the Expiration Date, exercise the portion of the Option that was vested on the Termination Date.

 
(c)
In the event the Grantee’s Continuous Service is terminated by the Company or a Related Entity for Cause pursuant to clause (iv) or (v) of the definition of Cause or terminated by the Grantee for any reason, the Grantee may, but only within ninety (90) days commencing on the Termination Date but in no event later than the Expiration Date, exercise the portion of the Option that was vested on the Termination Date.

 
(d)
In the event the Grantee’s Continuous Service is terminated by the Company or a Related Entity without Cause the Grantee may, but only within ninety (90) days commencing on the Termination Date but in no event later than the Expiration Date, exercise the portion of the Option that was vested on the Termination Date.

 
(e)
The post-termination exercise periods described in this Section 5 shall commence on the Termination Date. In no event shall the Option be exercised later than the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice.
 
 
Elio Motors, Inc. 2016 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan – page 22

 
 
 
(f)
If the Grantee does not exercise the Option within the applicable post-termination exercise period, the Option shall terminate.
 
6.
Disability of Grantee. In the event the Grantee’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of his or her Disability, the Grantee may, but only within one hundred eighty (180) days commencing on the Termination Date (but in no event later than the Expiration Date), exercise the portion of the Option that was vested on the Termination Date. If the Grantee does not exercise the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

7.
Death of Grantee. In the event of the termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service as a result of his or her death, the person who acquired the right to exercise the Option pursuant to Section 8 may exercise the portion of the Option that was vested at the date of termination within one hundred eighty (180) days commencing on the date of death (but in no event later than the Expiration Date). If the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

8.
Transferability of Option. The Option, if an Incentive Stock Option, may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Grantee only by the Grantee. The Option, if a Nonstatutory Stock Option, may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that a Nonstatutory Stock Option may be transferred during the lifetime of the Grantee to the extent and in the manner authorized by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee may designate one or more beneficiaries of the Grantee’s Incentive Stock Option or Nonstatutory Stock Option in the event of the Grantee’s death on a beneficiary designation form provided by the Administrator. Following the death of the Grantee, the Option, to the extent provided in Section 7, may be exercised (a) by the person or persons designated under the deceased Grantee’s beneficiary designation or (b) in the absence of an effectively designated beneficiary, by the Grantee’s legal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Grantee’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution. The terms of the Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and transferees of the Grantee.

9.
Term of Option. The Option must be exercised no later than the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice or such earlier date as otherwise provided herein. After the Expiration Date or such earlier date, the Option shall be of no further force or effect and may not be exercised.

10.
Tax Consequences. The Grantee may incur tax liability as a result of the Grantee’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. THE GRANTEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THE OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

9.            Notices.  All notices required or permitted by this Agreement or by law may be (i) personally delivered to the intended recipient; or (ii) sent by courier or by certified mail with return receipt requested, with delivery charges or postage prepaid, and addressed to the intended recipient as set forth above.  Notices may also be given by e-mail or facsimile if the recipient has previously notified the sender of its e-mail address and/or facsimile number and has not previously advised the sender in writing not to send notices by e-mail and/or facsimile.  Notices will deemed delivered when received, if given by personal delivery, courier, or if applicable, by e-mail or facsimile; or three (3) days after deposit with the U.S. Postal Service with proper address and postage paid.  If delivery of any notice properly given under this provision is refused or delivery cannot otherwise be completed, the notice will be deemed delivered on the first attempted delivery.  Payments by Company may be sent to Contractor by regular, uncertified mail or any other method of delivery.

10.           Contractor Indemnification.  Contractor shall indemnify and hold Company and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, other representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Company Group Members”) harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, and expenses incurred by Company and/or any of the Company Group Members in connection with or arising from (i) the Services or (ii) any breach by Contractor of this Agreement, except if and to the extent caused by the acts, or omissions where it had a duty to act, of Company or Company Group Members.

11.           Company Indemnification.  Company shall indemnify and hold Contractor and his successors and assigns (collectively, the “Contractor Group Members”) harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, and expenses incurred by Contractor or a Contractor Group Member in connection with or arising from (i) any breach by Company of this Agreement or (ii) any claim related to Company’s ATVM loan application, except if and to the extent caused by the acts, or omissions where he had a duty to act, of Contractor or a Contractor Group Member.

12.           Modifications; Waiver.  Any modification of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the parties to this Agreement.  Failure of any of the parties to insist upon the strict performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement will not constitute or be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of the right to thereafter enforce that provision, and it will continue in full force and effect.

13.           Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trials.  This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona.  The parties agree that any appropriate state or federal court in Arizona has exclusive jurisdiction and venue over any case or controversy arising under or related to this Agreement, and is the proper forum in which to adjudicate the case or controversy.  The parties expressly consent to personal jurisdiction in the State of Arizona.  EACH PARTY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY, EXCEPT IF PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

14.           Litigation Expense.  The prevailing party in any legal action arising out of or related to this Agreement will be entitled to recover from the other party its costs and expenses incurred in the action, including its reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees.  If more than one party is awarded a judgment in any dollar amount, the court will determine the prevailing party taking into consideration the merits of the claims asserted by each party, the amount of the judgment received by each party, and the relative equities between the parties.

15.           Partial Invalidity.  If a court of competent jurisdiction makes a final determination that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be modified by the court so as to best continue to carry out the intent of the parties, or severed from this Agreement if it cannot be so modified; and the remaining provisions remain unimpaired.

16.           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties related to its subject matter (into which all prior negotiations, commitments, representations, and undertakings with respect to its subject matter are merged).  No oral or other written understandings or agreements exist between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.
