NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Unaudited interim consolidated financial statements

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation.

 

The balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company at that date but does not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

The significant accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s audited 2021 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been applied consistently to these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. Results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic has created, and may continue to create, significant uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, and the extent of its impact on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and the impact on the Company’s customers and its sales cycles. The Company considered the impact of COVID-19 on the estimates and assumptions and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2022. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates and assumptions may change materially in future periods.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2022

Leases

 

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)",using the modified retrospective method by applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. Results and disclosure requirements for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2022 are presented under Topic 842, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historical accounting under Topic 840. The Company has elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allows the Company not to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts as of the adoption date are or contain a lease, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases as of the adoption date and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases as of the adoption date. The Company elected to not recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use ("ROU") asset for leases with a term of twelve months or less. Lease payments on short-term leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, not included in lease liabilities. Lastly, the Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for its leases.

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease and the classification of that lease at inception based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether the Company has a right to direct the use of the asset.

 

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make minimum lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are initially measured at amounts, which represents the discounted present value of the lease payments over the lease, plus any initial direct costs incurred. The lease liability is initially measured at lease commencement date based on the discounted present value of minimum lease payments over the lease term. The implicit rate within the operating leases is generally not determinable, therefore the Company uses its Incremental Borrowing Rate ("IBR") based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company's IBR is estimated to approximate the interest rate for collateralized borrowing with similar terms and payments and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. Certain leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. An option to extend the lease is considered in connection with determining the ROU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. An option to terminate is considered unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will not exercise the option.

 

Payments under the Company's lease arrangements are primarily fixed, however, certain lease agreements contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities. Variable lease payments are primarily comprised of payments affected by common area maintenance and utility charges.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company measures financial assets and liabilities at fair value at each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy which requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

 

A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 — inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, 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.

REE AUTOMOTIVE LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2022

U.S. dollars in thousands (except share and per share data)

Level 3 — unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

Financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, restricted cash, other accounts receivable, trade payables, and other accounts payable and accrued expenses. The estimated fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying value as presented, due to their short term maturities. We consider public warrant liabilities to be Level 1 and private warrants are measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. The financial liability for the warrant liabilities are accounted for at fair value through profit and loss.

 

Revenue recognition

 

During 2021, the Company generated revenues from selling its wheels for personal mobility products.

 

Under ASC 606 “Revenue from contracts with customers”, the Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for contracts that are within the scope of the standard, the Company perform the following five steps: (1) Identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) Determine the transaction price, (4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

The Company recognizes revenue at the time when its customer obtains control of the promised goods which is when the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised product to the customer.

 

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the products to the customer.

 

The Company applied the practical expedient in ASC 606 and did not evaluate payment terms of one year or less for the existence of a significant financing component.

 

Deferred revenues are recognized as (or when) the Company receives consideration prior to performing its obligations under the contract.

 

In April 2021, the Company entered into a strategic development agreement with a customer, pursuant to which the Company will develop and supply REE platform prototypes. Revenue related to the agreement is deferred and will be recognized upon satisfying performance obligations in the contract. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had deferred revenues recorded of $943. The Company’s contracts with customer prepayment terms do not include a significant financing component because the primary purpose is not to receive financing from the customers.

 

For contracts in which the performance obligation has an original expected duration of one year or less, the Company does not provide disclosure on its remaining performance obligations.

 

Fulfillment costs are capitalized up to the amount that is expected to be recovered, and any excess amounts will be expensed as incurred. As of March 31, 2022, the Company recorded capitalized costs of $943.

 

Contract liabilities consisted of the following as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

 

   March 31, 2022  December 31, 2021

Remaining Performance Obligation

 

The Company’s remaining performance obligations are comprised of the delivery of products and a material right for purchases of finished goods not yet delivered. As of March 31, 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $943, which the Company expects to recognize as revenue.

 

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

 

As an “emerging growth company,” the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act. The adoption dates discussed below reflect this election.

 

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)". Upon adoption, we recognized total right of use (“ROU”) assets and corresponding liabilities of $8,857 on our consolidated balance sheets. The ROU assets include adjustments for prepayments and accrued lease payments. The adoption did not impact the beginning balance of retained earnings, or prior year consolidated statements of income and statements of cash flows.

 

For information regarding the impact of Topic 842 adoption, see Significant Accounting Policies – Leases above and Note 4 - Leases.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements, not yet adopted

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 “Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“the Update”). ASU 2019-12 is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning January 1, 2023. The Company does not anticipate ASU 2019-12 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses — Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates.

 

The guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2022, the Company entered into a lease commitment which has not yet commenced as of March 31, 2022, and is therefore not part of the right-of-use asset and liability. This lease has an undiscounted future payments of approximately $11,000. The lease is expected to commence during the second half of 2022 for a 10 year period.

Royalty bearing grants

 

The Company’s research and development efforts have been partially financed through grants from the Israel Innovation Authority (“IIA”) for the technology related to the Softwheel products. In 2021, the Company applied to the IIA and was approved to update the definition of royalties set for the Company, so that the Company will be obligated to pay royalties solely on revenues generated from Softwheel products (and not the Company’s automotive activity). Under the research and development agreements with the IIA and pursuant to applicable laws, the Company is required to pay royalties at the rate of 3-5% on sales of products developed with funds provided by the IIA. Such royalties are due up to an amount equal to 100% of the IIA grants received, linked to the U.S. dollar plus interest on the unpaid amount received based on the 12-month LIBOR rate (from the year the grant was approved) applicable to U.S. dollar deposits. If the Company returns to production of these products outside of Israel and generates sales, the ceiling will increase based on the percentage of production that is outside of Israel, up to a maximum of 300% of the IIA grants, linked to the dollar and bearing interest as noted above. If the Company does not generate sales of products developed with funds provided by the IIA, the Company is not obligated to pay royalties or repay the grants. For the three months March 31, 2022 and 2021, no expenses were recorded.

Under this agreement, the Company is required to pay royalties at a rate of 5% of the sales of products developed with funds provided by BIRD up to an amount equal to 150% of the aggregate dollar amount of the grants received linked to the U.S. consumer price index. For the three months March 31, 2022 and 2021, no expenses were recorded.

 

As of March 31, 2022, the BIRD contingent liability with respect to royalty-bearing participation received or accrued, net of royalties paid or accrued, totaled $433.

 

Legal proceedings

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject from time to time to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, or claims. Although it cannot predict with assurance the outcome of any litigation, it does not believe there are currently any such actions that, if resolved unfavorably, would have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Warrants liability

 

As of March 31, 2022, there were 15,562,500 public and private warrants outstanding. The warrants entitle the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share of REE Automotive Ltd at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. Until warrant holders acquire the Company’s Class A ordinary shares upon exercise of such warrants, they will have no rights with respect to the Company’s ordinary shares. The warrants will expire on July 22, 2026, five years after the Merger closing date, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation in accordance with their terms.

 

Public Shareholders’ Warrants

 

Each whole warrant will entitle the registered holder to purchase one share of Class A Ordinary Shares. No fractional warrants will be issued and only whole warrants will trade. The Company is not obligated to deliver any Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue a share of Class A Ordinary Shares upon exercise of a warrant unless the share of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In no event is the Company required to net cash settle any warrant. During any period if the Company has failed to maintain an effective registration statement, warrant holders will be able to, until such time there is an effective registration statement, exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis.”

 

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the warrants for redemption:

in whole and not in part;
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and
if, and only if, the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

 

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, it may exercise its redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

 

If the Company calls the warrants for redemption for cash the Company’s management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise his, her or its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” If the Company’s management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of Class A Ordinary Shares over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” will mean the average closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (cont.)

 

Private Shareholders’ Warrants

 

The private warrants are identical to the public warrants except that the private warrants and the shares of ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the private placement warrants were only able to be transferable, assignable or saleable 30 days after the consummation of the Merger. The private warrants (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option.

 

If holders of the private placement warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of shares of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of Class A Ordinary Shares over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” means the average closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the transfer agent.

 

Fair value of warrants liability

The Company measures and reports its private and public warrants at fair value. The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

 

Description  Level  March 31, 2022  December 31, 2021
      (Unaudited)  (Audited)
Liabilities:               
Warrant Liability – Public Warrants   1   $3,119   $10,364 
Warrant Liability – Private Warrants   3   $2,585   $10,670 

 

The fair value of the Public Warrants is determined with reference to the prevailing market price for warrants that are trading on Nasdaq under the ticker REEAW.

 

The Private warrants were valued using a Modified Black Scholes Option Pricing Model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Modified Black Scholes model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Private warrants is the expected volatility of the Class A ordinary shares. The expected volatility was implied from a blend of the Company’s own share and Public warrant pricing and the average historical share volatilities of several unrelated public companies within the Company’s industry that the Company considers to be comparable to its own business .

 

There were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 11. BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted losses per share:

   March 31, 2022  March 31, 2021
   (Unaudited)  (Unaudited)
Numerator:

Denominator:          
           
Weighted average number of Class A ordinary and preferred shares used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share   289,747,646    193,705,500 
           
Basic and diluted net loss per Class A ordinary and preferred shares  $(0.08)  $(0.07)

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company was in a loss position and therefore all its potential shares were antidilutive. The total weighted average number of shares related to the outstanding options and warrants excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share due to their anti-dilutive effect was 75,668,039 and 65,395,603 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
