Under the Certificate of Designations, prior to Bridge Loan Triggering Event and following the Bridge Loan Discharge Date, the holder of Series C Preferred Stock will have no voting rights except as otherwise required by law. Under the Certificate of Designations, upon the occurrence of a Bridge Loan Triggering Event through and including the Bridge Loan Discharge Date, the holder of Series C Preferred Stock will vote together with the holders of the Company's common stock as a single class on any Shareholder Matter, and the holder of Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to cast a number of votes on any Shareholder Matter equal to the total number of votes of all non-holders of Series C Preferred Stock entitled to vote on any such Shareholder Matter plus 10. In addition, the Certificate of Designations provides that governance mechanisms that could have the effect of limiting, reducing or adversely affecting the Series C Preferred Stockholders’ voting or board-appointment rights under the Certificate of Designations will require the consent of the Series C Majority.
In addition, the Certificate of Designations grants the Series C Majority the exclusive right, voting separately as a class, to elect or appoint (i) prior to a Bridge Loan Triggering Event, one director to the Board (who shall, unless the majority of the Series C Preferred Stock elects otherwise in its sole discretion, also serve as a member of each Board committee) and (ii) upon the occurrence of a Bridge Loan Triggering Event through and including the Bridge Loan Discharge Date, a majority of the members of the Board.

Despite the occurrence of the Recapitalization Transactions, the Company believes its existing cash, together with any positive cash flows from operations, may not be sufficient to support working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months, and the Company may be required to seek additional financing from outside sources.
In evaluating the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and its potential need to seek additional financing from outside sources, management also considered the following conditions:
As a result of the circumstances described above, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to make the required payments on its debt, factoring or leasing obligations; to satisfy future operating expenses; to make capital expenditures; or to provide for other cash needs.
Management’s plans to mitigate the Company’s current conditions include:
Notwithstanding management’s plans, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to address its current liquidity and capital resource constraints. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Refer to Notes 4 and 5 for further information regarding the Company’s factoring and debt obligations. Refer to Note 12, Subsequent Events, for further information regarding changes in the Company’s debt obligations and liquidity subsequent to March 31, 2022.
Seasonality
Results of operations generally follow seasonal patterns in the transportation industry. Freight volumes in the first quarter are typically lower due to less consumer demand, consumers reducing shipments following the holiday season, and inclement weather. At the same time, operating costs generally increase, and tractor productivity decreases during the winter months due to decreased fuel efficiency, increased cold weather-related equipment maintenance and repairs, and increased insurance claims and costs due to higher accident frequency from harsh weather. Combined, these factors typically result in lower operating profitability as compared to other periods. Further, during the fourth quarter, the Company typically experiences surges pertaining to online holiday shopping, the length of the holiday season (shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas), and holiday surge pricing on USPS contracts.

Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period's financial information to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The consolidated financial statements include some amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. The most significant estimates relate to goodwill and long-lived asset valuations, purchase price allocations related to the Company’s business combinations, valuation allowance on deferred income tax assets, and the valuation of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants and stock-based awards.
Earnings (Loss) per Share of Common Stock
Basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Potentially dilutive shares, which are based on the weighted-average shares of common stock underlying outstanding stock-based awards, warrants and convertible notes payable and preferred stock using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, as applicable, are included when calculating diluted net loss per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders when their effect is dilutive.
The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (amounts in thousands, except share data):

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments (Topic 470-50), Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which clarifies existing guidance for freestanding written call options which are equity classified and remain so after they are modified or exchanged in order to reduce diversity in practice. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The
Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). The new guidance changes the accounting for estimated credit losses pertaining to certain types of financial instruments including, but not limited to, trade and lease receivables. This pronouncement will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption of the guidance is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating and assessing the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. Under ASU 2020-06, the embedded conversion features are no longer separated from the host contract for convertible
12
EVO TRANSPORTATION & ENERGY SERVICES, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. The new guidance also requires the if-converted method be applied for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard requires using either the modified retrospective or the retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating and assessing the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

On September 16, 2019,
The Company issued a warrant for
Since the Term Loan, Antara Warrants, and Side Letter Warrant were negotiated in contemplation of each other and executed within a short period of time, the Company evaluated the debt and warrants as a combined arrangement. Since the Antara Warrants and Side Letter Warrants are liability classified we recorded these items at their fair value and the residual proceeds were allocated to the Term Loan. The non-lender fees incurred to establish the financing arrangement were allocated to the Term Loan and capitalized on the Company’s balance sheet as debt issuance costs, which are amortized using the effective interest method into interest expense over the term of the Term Loan.
The Term Loan was further evaluated for the existence of embedded features to be bifurcated from the amount allocated to the debt component. The Term Loan agreement contains a mandatory prepayment feature that was determined to be an embedded derivative, requiring bifurcation and fair value recognition for the derivative liability. The fair value of this derivative liability is remeasured at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. Any changes in the assumptions used in measuring the fair value of the derivative liability could result in a material increase or decrease in its carrying value. The allocation of the proceeds to the debt component and the bifurcation of the embedded derivative liability resulted in a $

Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements
Financial assets and liabilities are initially recorded at fair value. The carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, are carried at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments and are Level 1 assets or liabilities of the fair value hierarchy.
The accounting guidance for fair value provides a framework for measuring fair value, clarifies the definition of fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 ‑ Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 ‑ Inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 ‑ Inputs are unobservable and reflect the Company’s assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s derivative liability embedded in its Antara Financing Agreement related to the mandatory prepayment feature is measured at fair value using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model and is classified as a Level 3 liability of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. The liability is presented as an embedded derivative liability on the consolidated balance sheets and is subject to remeasurement to fair value at the end of each reporting period, with the change in fair value recognized as a component of other income (expense) in its consolidated statements of operations. The assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model include: (1) management's estimates of the probability and timing of future cash flows and related events; (2) the Company's risk-adjusted discount rate that includes a company-specific risk premium; and (3) the Company's cost of debt.

per share are measured at fair value using the Monte Carlo simulation model and are classified as a Level 3 liability of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. The warrant liabilities are presented as current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and are subject to remeasurement to fair value at the end of each reporting period, with the change in fair value recognized as a component of other income (expense) or as compensation expense in its consolidated statements of operations. The inputs and assumptions used in the Monte Carlo model include: (1) the Company's stock price; (2) the Company's expected stock price volatility; and (3) the risk-free interest rate.

Litigation
In the normal course of business, the Company is party to litigation from time to time. The Company maintains insurance to cover certain actions and believes that resolution of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
On March 19, 2018, Whisler Holdings, LLC, Mitesh Kalthia, and Jean M. Noutary, the owners of the property leased by El Toro for the Company’s El Toro station, initiated a lawsuit in the Superior Court of Orange County, California, related to the lease agreement for the El Toro station. The complaint alleges breach of contract and sought money damages, costs, attorneys’ fees and other appropriate relief. On October 11, 2018, the court issued a default judgement in favor of the plaintiff in the amount of approximately $

Prior to the acquisition, Sheehy was self-insured for certain insurance risks with a captive insurance company under SEI. Upon the acquisition of Sheehy from SEI in January 2019, the Company became a member of the captive and Sheehy was transferred to the EVO member account. As a member of the captive, the Company is required to maintain a collateral deposit. The collateral deposit requirement is calculated at the renewal date of March 1st each year and is based on the prior three years of premium experience. The collateral deposit may be satisfied with either cash and/or investment collateral held in the captive or with a letter of credit. SEI agreed to pledge approximately $

Note 11 - Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company estimates the degree to which tax assets and credit carryforwards will result in a benefit based on expected profitability by tax jurisdiction. A valuation allowance for such tax assets and loss carryforwards is provided when it is determined to be more likely than not that the benefit of such deferred tax asset will not be realized in future periods. Tax benefits of operating loss carryforwards are evaluated on an ongoing basis, including a review of historical and projected future operating results, the eligible carryforward period, and other circumstances. If it becomes more likely than not that a tax asset will be used, the related valuation allowance on such assets would be reduced.
The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Once this threshold has been met, the Company’s measurement of its expected tax benefits is recognized in its financial statements. The Company accrues interest on unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Penalties, if incurred, would be recognized as a component of income tax expense.

Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 of Part I of this report and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Some of the statements in this report may contain forward-looking statements that reflect management’s current view about future events, future business, industry and other conditions, our future performance, and our plans and expectations for future operations and actions. In some cases you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “will,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan” and similar expressions or the negative of these terms. Many of these forward-looking statements are located in this report under “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” but they may appear in other sections as well. The forward-looking statements in this report generally relate to: (i) our growth strategy and potential acquisition candidates; (ii) management’s expectations regarding market trends and competition in the vehicle fuels industry, gasoline, diesel, and natural gas prices, government tax credits and other incentives, and environmental and safety considerations; (iii) our beliefs regarding the sufficiency of working capital and cash flows, and our continued ability to renew or obtain financing on reasonable terms when necessary; (iv) the impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements; (v) our intentions and beliefs relating to our costs, business strategies, and future performance; (vi) our expected financial results; and (vii) our expectations concerning our primary capital and cash flow needs.
Forward-looking statements are based on information available to management at the time the statements are made and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors (including the risks contained in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021) relating to the Company’s industry, its operations and results of operations, and any businesses that may be acquired by it. These factors include, among other factors:
35
Although management believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
Background and Recent Developments
EVO Transportation & Energy Services, Inc. is a transportation provider serving the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) and other customers. We believe EVO is one of the largest surface transportation companies serving the USPS, with a diversified fleet of tractors, straight trucks, and other vehicles that currently operate on either diesel fuel or compressed natural gas (“CNG”). In certain markets, we fuel our vehicles at one of our three CNG stations that serve other customers as well. We are actively engaged in reducing CO2 emissions by operating on CNG, pursuing opportunities to use other alternative fuels, and by optimizing the routing efficiency of our operations to reduce fuel usage. We operate from our headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona and from 9 main terminals located throughout the United States.
EVO has grown primarily through acquisitions, and we have completed seven acquisitions since our initial business combination in 2016. We have also grown organically by obtaining new contracts from the USPS and other customers. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we generated $64.9 million in revenues from the USPS. We have been actively integrating the acquisitions we have made under common leadership and technology and are now operating under a single umbrella brand.
Sources of Revenue
Our USPS trucking operations generates revenue for our trucking segment from transportation services under multi-year contracts with the USPS.
Our freight trucking operations generates revenue for our trucking segment by providing both irregular and dedicated route transportation services of various products, goods, and materials for a diverse customer base.
Our CNG station revenue is derived predominately from individual consumers. In addition to revenue earned from our customers, we may also earn alternative fuel tax credits through certain federal programs. These programs are generally short-term in nature and require legislation to be passed extending the term.
Results from Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2022, as compared with the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
Trucking revenue: The majority of Trucking revenue is derived from the USPS. The remainder of the revenue is derived from corporate freight hauling. The USPS contracts are typically four years in duration and include a monthly fuel adjustment. Trucking revenue was $72.5 million and $54.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The $18.5 million, or 34.3%, increase in Trucking revenue from the three months ended March 31, 2021 to the three months ended March 31, 2022 is primarily due to revenue from new USPS contracts, along with increased fuel surcharge revenue as a result of increased fuel prices.
Other revenue: During the first quarter of 2021, the Company entered into agreements with the USPS to settle claims submitted by the Company seeking additional compensation for transportation services provided under certain DRO contracts. The Company received a total of $28.5 million related to these claims and also renegotiated the contractual rates per mile for some of its DRO contracts on a prospective basis. In addition, amounts totaling $6.3 million that were previously paid by the USPS to the Company during 2020 became subject to the terms of the settlement agreements and were recognized as a deferred gain as of December 31, 2020. The aforementioned amounts totaling $34.8 million were recognized as other revenue during the first quarter of 2021 in the consolidated statement of operations. Such amounts are for transportation services provided during 2020 and prior years, are not subject to refund, and are not contingent upon the Company providing future transportation services. Refer to Note 1, Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for further discussion.
36
Payroll, benefits and related: Payroll, benefits and related expenses include total compensation of drivers and non-drivers. Included in driver compensation is an incremental hourly rate for benefits. Payroll, benefits and related expense was $32.6 million and $23.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The $9.6 million, or 41.7% increase in payroll, benefits and related expense is primarily due to the 34.3% increase in Trucking revenue during the same periods.
Purchased transportation: Purchased transportation represents payments to subcontracted third-party companies. These contracts are typically negotiated on a rate per mile basis and the subcontracting company is responsible for supplying all resources to perform the service including, but not limited to, labor, equipment, fuel and associated expenses. Purchased transportation expense was $13.3 million and $9.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The $4.1 million, or 44.6%, increase in purchased transportation expense from the three months ended March 31, 2021 to the three months ended March 31, 2022 is primarily due to an increased use of subcontracted third-party companies rather than employee drivers.
Fuel: Fuel expense is comprised of diesel and CNG fuel required to operate the truck fleet. The Company manages fuel cost by negotiating volume discounts from rack fuel rates with select vendors. Fuel expense was $10.8 million and $5.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The $5.4 million, or 100.0%, increase in fuel expense is due primarily to the 34.3% increase in trucking revenue, combined with an increase in the average DOE fuel price to $4.29 per gallon for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $2.89 per gallon for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Equipment rent: The Company rents and leases a portion of its trucks and trailers through a combination of short-term rental arrangements and long-term lease arrangements. Equipment rent expense was $4.3 million and $2.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The $1.7 million, or 65.4%, increase in equipment rent expense from the three months ended March 31, 2021 to the three months ended March 31, 2022 is primarily due to the need to service new USPS contracts by acquiring additional trucks and trailers via new leasing arrangements.
Maintenance and Supplies: Maintenance and supplies expense primarily includes the costs to maintain the fleet. Maintenance and supplies expense was $3.7 million and $2.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The $1.4 million or 60.9%, increase in maintenance and supplies expense from the three months ended March 31, 2021 to the three months ended March 31, 2022 is primarily due to an increase in the size of the fleet combined with increased maintenance costs for the existing fleet, which the Company is in process of refreshing with newer equipment.
Insurance and claims: Insurance and claims is comprised of auto liability and physical damage expense related to the trucking segment of the business. Insurance and claims expense was $1.3 million and $2.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The $1.3 million, or 50.0%, decrease in insurance and claims expense from the three months ended March 31, 2021 to the three months ended March 31, 2022 is primarily due to premium adjustments and fewer significant nonrecurring claims.
Operating supplies and expenses: Operating and supplies expense includes all other direct costs in the Trucking segment. Operating supplies and expenses was $3.3 million and $4.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The $0.8 million, or 19.5%, decrease in operating and supplies expenses from the three months ended March 31, 2021 to the three months ended March 31, 2022 is primarily due to more cost efficient completion of certain routes.
General and administrative: General and administrative expense was $4.1 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
37
Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense was $3.9 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase is due to an increase in finance lease right-of-use amortization expense.
Interest expense: Interest expense was $9.8 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The $5.7 million, or 139.0%, increase in interest expense from the three months ended March 31, 2021 to the three months ended March 31, 2022 is primarily due to the Bridge Loan Agreement, dated March 11, 2022, whereby the Company borrowed $9 million from Antara Capital and granted Antara Capital 11,969,667 warrants to purchase Company common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. Refer to Note 5, Debt, for further discussion.
Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt: The $5.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2022 is primarily due to: (1) the $5.2 million loss on the extinguishment the four promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of $9.5 million as a result of the Convertible Note Amendments, dated March 11, 2022; and (2) the $0.2 million loss on extinguishment of the Batuta Secured Convertible Note. The $0.5 million gain on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2021 is primarily due to: (1) the $2.3 million gain on the partial extinguishment of the $4.0 million Secured Convertible Promissory Notes during March 2021; and (2) the $1.7 million loss on extinguishment resulting from using all of the net proceeds from the Main Street Loan to pay down the aggregate principal amount due under the Antara Financing Agreement (including capitalized interest) from $33.6 million to $16.7 million during the first quarter of 2021.
Change in fair value of embedded derivative liability: The Antara Financing Agreement contains a mandatory prepayment feature that was determined to be an embedded derivative, requiring bifurcation and fair value recognition for the derivative liability. The fair value of this derivative liability is remeasured at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. Refer to Note 5, Debt, and Note 8, Fair Value Measurements, for further discussion.
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities: The Company previously issued certain warrants that are not considered indexed to the Company's common stock and, therefore, are required to be classified as liabilities and measured at fair value at each reporting date with the change in fair value being recognized in the Company's results of operations during each reporting period. The change in fair value of substantially all of the warrants classified as liabilities is recognized in other income (expense). Refer to Note 6, Stockholders' Deficit and Warrants, and Note 8, Fair Value Measurements, for further discussion.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Changes in Liquidity
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were $16.2 million and $7.3 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022, which includes the proceeds received from its borrowings under the Bridge Loan and Executive Loans during the first quarter of 2022.
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net cash provided by operating activities was $17.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had a net loss of $12.8 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company had net income of $31.2 million.
For three months ended March 31, 2022, the net loss included $9.0 million in adjustments for non-cash items and $6.6 million of cash provided by changes in working capital. Non-cash items primarily consisted of $3.9 million in depreciation and amortization, $4.0 million in non-cash interest expense, non-cash lease expense of $1.0 million, amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs of $2.6 million, a loss on extinguishment of debt of $5.3 million and a $3.1 million change in fair value of embedded derivative liability, partially offset by a $11.0 million change in fair value of warrant liabilities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the net income included $4.4 million in adjustments for non-cash items and $17.9 million of cash used for changes in working capital. Non-cash items primarily consisted of $3.6 million in depreciation and amortization, $2.4 million in non-cash interest expense, non-cash lease expense of $2.3 million, stock option and warrant-based compensation expense of $0.2 million, and amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs of $0.2 million, partially offset by a $3.1 million change in fair value of warrant liabilities, a gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.5 million and a $0.8 million change in fair value of embedded derivative liability.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and net cash used in investing activities was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
38
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net cash used in financing activities was $28.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily consisted of $9.6 million of proceeds from the issuance of debt and $64.7 million in advances from factoring receivables, partially offset by $64.9 million in payments on factoring arrangements, $1.3 million in payments of debt principal, and $2.2 million in payments on finance lease liabilities. The cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily consisted of $65.9 million in payments on factoring arrangements, $19.6 million in payments of debt principal, and $1.3 million in payments on finance lease liabilities, partially offset by $59.6 million in advances from factoring receivables.
Sources of Liquidity
Our primary historical and future sources of liquidity are cash on hand ($16.2 million at March 31, 2022), the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the sale of the Company’s common stock or preferred stock, and advances under our accounts receivable factoring arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing in the future via the incurrence of additional indebtedness or the sale of the Company’s common stock or preferred stock.
Uses of Liquidity
Our business requires substantial amounts of cash for operating activities, including salaries and wages paid to our employees, contract payments to independent contractors, and payments for fuel, maintenance and supplies, and other expenses. We also use large amounts of cash and credit for principal and interest payments, as well as operating and finance lease liabilities and capital expenditures to fund the replacement and/or growth in our tractor and trailer fleet.
Going Concern
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had a cash balance of $16.2 million, a working capital deficit of $102.2 million, stockholders’ deficit of $54.1 million, and material debt and lease obligations of $115.9 million, which include term loan borrowings under a financing agreement with Antara Capital. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company reported cash provided by operating activities of $2.9 million and a net loss of $12.8 million.
The following significant transactions and events affecting the Company’s liquidity occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022:
Under the Certificate of Designations, prior to Bridge Loan Triggering Event and following the Bridge Loan Discharge Date, the holder of Series C Preferred Stock will have no voting rights except as otherwise required by law. Under the Certificate of Designations, upon the occurrence of a Bridge Loan Triggering Event through and including the Bridge Loan Discharge Date, the holder of Series C Preferred Stock will vote together with the holders of the Company's common stock as a single class on any Shareholder Matter, and the holder of Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to cast a number of votes on any Shareholder Matter equal to the total number of votes of all non-holders of Series C Preferred Stock entitled to vote on any such Shareholder Matter plus 10. In addition, the Certificate of Designations provides that governance mechanisms that could have the effect of limiting, reducing or adversely affecting the Series C Preferred Stockholders’ voting or board-appointment rights under the Certificate of Designations will require the consent of the Series C Majority.
In addition, the Certificate of Designations grants the Series C Majority the exclusive right, voting separately as a class, to elect or appoint (i) prior to a Bridge Loan Triggering Event, one director to the Board (who shall, unless the majority of the Series C Preferred Stock elects otherwise in its sole discretion, also serve as a member of each Board committee) and (ii) upon the occurrence of a Bridge Loan Triggering Event through and including the Bridge Loan Discharge Date, a majority of the members of the Board.
39
The following significant transactions and events affecting the Company’s liquidity occurred following the three months ended March 31, 2022:
The issuance of one share of Series D Non-Participating Preferred Stock to Antara Capital on July 13, 2022 resulted in a change of control of the Company, with Antara Capital having voting control on Shareholder Matters. The consideration for the issuance of Series D Non-Participating Preferred Stock to Antara Capital was Antara Capital's agreement to enter into the Third Extension Agreement, and the Company did not receive any cash consideration.
40
Despite the occurrence of the Recapitalization Transactions, the Company believes its existing cash, together with any positive cash flows from operations, may not be sufficient to support working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months, and the Company may be required to seek additional financing from outside sources.
In evaluating the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and its potential need to seek additional financing from outside sources, management also considered the following conditions:
As a result of the circumstances described above, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to make the required payments on its debt, factoring or leasing obligations; to satisfy future operating expenses; to make capital expenditures; or to provide for other cash needs.
Management’s plans to mitigate the Company’s current conditions include:
Notwithstanding management’s plans, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to address its current liquidity and capital resource constraints. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Refer to Notes 4 and 5 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the Company’s factoring and debt obligations. Refer to Note 12, Subsequent Events, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding changes in the Company’s debt obligations and liquidity subsequent to March 31, 2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide disclosure under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of its principal executive and principal financial officers, is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In accordance with Exchange Act rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, the Company performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive and financial officers regarding the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including its principal executive and financial officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2022, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below in “Evaluation of Internal Controls and Procedures” including limitations in management’s evaluation of internal controls as a result of insufficient documentation of internal controls under the standards of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) (2013 Framework). In light of these material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.
Evaluation of Internal Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a set of processes designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
42
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. It should be noted that any system of internal control, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based on the Company’s evaluation, it identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below, and management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as described below. The Company also took steps seeking to mitigate and remediate these material weaknesses as described under “Management’s Remediation Plan and Status of Remediation Efforts” below.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company’s management considered to be material weaknesses were:
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management intends to implement the remediation steps discussed below to address the material weaknesses and to improve our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Remediation Plan
In light of the control deficiencies identified at March 31, 2022, and described in the section titled “Evaluation of Internal Controls and Procedures,” we have designed and plan to implement the specific remediation initiatives described below:
43
While the Company believes the steps taken to date and those planned for implementation will improve the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting, it has not completed all remediation efforts identified above. Accordingly, the Company has and will continue to perform additional procedures and employ additional tools and resources it determines necessary to ensure that its consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in all material respects.
The Company has engaged third party advisors to undertake, under management’s supervision, a comprehensive examination and analysis of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the material weaknesses as they relate to control activities. The Company will make further changes and improve its internal control over financial reporting following management’s review and development of the complete remediation plan that is responsive to the findings of the examination.
The Company believes the remediation measures will strengthen the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and remediate the material weaknesses identified. Management will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these remediation measures and will make changes and take other actions that are appropriate given the circumstances.
