The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, althoughdevoted substantially all of its resources to develop its autonomous truck technology, to enable and expand its route models - transfer point and direct-to-customer, to expand its partnerships with shippers and carriers, to raising capital, and providing general and administrative support for these operations. The Company has not generated revenues from its principal operations through March 31, 2022.
The Company will provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously releasedgain access to the Company to pay its tax obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon the completionU.S. capital markets.
The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 immediately prior to or upon such consummation of a Business CombinationU.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and if the Company seeks stockholder approval, if a majority of the then outstanding shares of common stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting to approve the business combination (or such greater number as may be required by applicable law or the rules of any applicable national securities exchange) are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rulesregulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination.
Notwithstanding the above, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.
The Sponsor and the Company’s officers, directors and director nominees will agree (a) to waive redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination and certain amendments to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provisions that specifically apply only to the period prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment (See Note 7).
The Company will have until January 15, 2023 to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and stockholders do not approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to extend this date, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The holders of the Founder Shares will agree to waive liquidation rights with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 7) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor will agree to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per Public Share or (ii) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay the Company’s tax obligation and up to $100,000 for liquidation excepts, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account (even if such waiver is deemed to be unenforceable) and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $34,688 in its operating bank accounts, $414,028,694 in marketable securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem stock in connection therewith and working capital deficit of ($1,544,413), which excludes franchise taxes payable of $150,000, of which such amount will be paid from interest earned on the Trust Account and $28,694 of franchise taxes paid and not yet reimbursed from the trust. On August 12, 2021, the sponsor committed to provide up to $1,000,000 in working capital loans as needed by the Company in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination. The loans, if issued, will be non-interest bearing, unsecured and will be repaid upon the consummation of an initial business combination. If the Company does not consummate an initial business combination, all amounts loaned to the Company will be forgiven except to the extent that we have funds available outside of the Trust Account to repay such loans. As of September 30, 2021 there was $750,000 of working capital loans outstanding. On September 30, 2021, the sponsor committed to provide up to an additional $2,000,000 in working capital loans as needed by the Company in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination. The loans will follow the same structure as the $1,000,000 working capital loans as described above. This borrowing is in addition to the above note initiated on August 12, 2021. The total commitment provided by the Sponsor will total $3,000,000, where $750,000 of which has been borrowed as of September 30, 2021.
The Company may raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Sponsor or its stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers and directors and the Sponsor may but are not obligated to (except as described above), loan the Company funds, from time to time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Based on the foregoing, the Company believes it will have sufficient cash to meet its needs through the earlier of consummation of a Business Combination or January 15, 2023, the deadline to complete a Business Combination pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (unless otherwise amended by stockholders).
NOTE 2. REVISION OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2021, management identified errors made in its historical financial statements where, at the closing of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, the Company improperly valued its Common stock subject to possible redemption. The Company previously determined the Common stock subject to possible redemption to be equal to the redemption value of $10.00 per share of Common stock while also taking into consideration a redemption cannot result in net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001. Management determined that the Common stock issued during the Initial Public Offering can be redeemed or become redeemable subject to the occurrence of future events considered outside the Company’s control. Therefore, management concluded that the redemption value should include all shares of Common stock subject to possible redemption, resulting in the Common stock subject to possible redemption being equal to their redemption value. As a result, management has noted a reclassification error related to temporary equity and permanent equity. This resulted in an adjustment to the initial carrying value of the Common stock subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Common stock.
The impact of the revision on the Company’s financial statements is reflected in the following table.

It is at least reasonably possible thatand judgments involve the estimateuseful lives of long-lived assets, the recoverability of long-lived assets, the incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) applied in lease accounting, the capitalization of software development costs, the valuation of the effectCompany’s stock-based compensation, including the valuation of a condition, situation or setwarrants to purchase the Company’s stock and the valuation allowance for income taxes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of circumstances that existed atwhich form the datebasis for making judgments about the carrying values of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these condensed consolidated financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrantassets and FPA liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actualActual results could differ significantly from those estimates. and Cash Equivalentsshort-termhighly liquid investments purchased with an original maturitymaturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Allcredit to secure leases of the Company’s investments heldoffices and facilities. A portion of the Company’s cash is collateralized in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information.Warrant and FPA LiabilitiesThe Company accounts for the Warrants and forward purchase warrants (as defined in Note 7) in accordanceconjunction with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40, under which the Warrantsletter of credit and forward purchase warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants and forward purchase warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the Warrants and forward purchase warrants to fair value at each reporting period. These liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the statement of operations. The fair value of the Public Warrants were initially estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the close price of the Public Warrant price was used as the fair value of the Warrants as of each relevant date. The Private Placement Warrants and forward purchase warrants are valued using a Modified Black Scholes Option Pricing Model.Common Stock Subject to Possible RedemptionThe Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, the 41,400,000 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption at September 30, 2021 are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity (deficit) section ofrestricted cash on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.The As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company recognizes changeshad $0.9 million and $0.4 million in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value atrestricted cash, respectively.

IINOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSSEPTEMBER 30, 2021(Unaudited)Income TaxesThe Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more -likely -than -not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, due to the valuation allowance recorded on the Company’s net operating losses and permanent differences.Net income (loss) per Common ShareThe Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase an aggregate of 20,486,667 shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the average stock price of the Company’s common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was less than the exercise price and therefore, the inclusion of such warrants under the treasury stock method would be anti-dilutive.NORTHERN GENESIS ACQUISITION CORP.

The Company believes that the carrying values of the remaining financial instruments underapproximate their fair values. The Company applies fair value accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for warrant liabilities (see Note 10).Fair for valuation of financial instruments. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value is defined as the priceunder GAAP that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjustedare summarized as follows: in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:●Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;●Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instrumentsLevel 2 — Fair value is determined using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and●Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.NORTHERN GENESIS ACQUISITION CORP.

As of the assets or paid in connection with the transferDecember 31, 2021, transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:Level 1:Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.Level 2:Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.Level 3:Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:Description Level September 30,

We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering andoperations primarily through the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.Recent DevelopmentsPersonnel Services AgreementWe entered to a Personnel Services Agreement, dated April 1, 2021, with Northern Genesis Sponsor II LLC (the “Sponsor”) pursuant to which, subject to maintaining funds adequate for our projected obligations, we expect to pay up to $2,000,000 in the aggregate in respect of the services of personnel affiliated with the Sponsor, including persons who may be our directors or officers, for activities on our behalf, including services related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination and other operational and support services. To the extent any amounts are in respect of the services of individuals who also serve as directors or executive officers of the Company, such amounts will be reviewed and approved by its audit committee.The Sponsor, our officers and directors or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.Forward Purchase AgreementsOn April 21, 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Forward Purchase Agreement with Northern Genesis Capital II LLC (formerly known as Northern Genesis Capital LLC) (“NGC”) (the “NGC Forward Purchase Agreement”), and certain additional Forward Purchase Agreements with additional institutional investors (collectively, with the NGC Forward Purchase Agreement, the “Forward Purchase Agreements”). The Forward Purchase Agreements collectively replace that certain Forward Purchase Agreement previously entered into by the Company and NGC in connection with the closing of the Company’s initial public offering (the “Original Agreement”).Pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreements, if the Company determines to raise capital by the private placement of equity securities in connection with the closing of its initial business combination (subject to certain limited exceptions), the members of NGC (institutional investors that also are members of the Company’s Sponsor) and the parties to the additional Forward Purchase Agreements have the first right to purchase an aggregate amount of up to 7,500,000 “forward purchase units” of the Company (under all Forward Purchase Agreements, taken together) for $10.00 per forward purchase unit, or an aggregate total of $75,000,000. Each forward purchase unit would consist of one share of the Company’s common stock and one-sixth of one warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at $11.50 per share. The common stock and warrants included in the forward purchase units would have the same terms as the Company’s publicly traded common stock and warrants but would not be freely tradable until registered. As with the Original Agreement, any commitment by any potential purchaser under any of the Forward Purchase Agreements is subject to and conditioned upon written confirmation from the prospective purchaser, following the Company’s notification to such purchaser of its intention to enter into an initial business combination agreement, which a prospective purchaser was grant or withhold in its sole discretion.In addition, if a private placement of equity securities in connection with the Company’s initial business combination exceeds $75,000,000, the Company agreed under each Forward Purchase Agreement to use its commercially reasonable efforts to permit priority participation in such additional amount by the members of NGC and the parties to the additional Forward Purchase Agreements, in an aggregate additional amount up to $150,000,000, on the same terms as those offered to other prospective purchasers in connection with such additional private placement amount.Each Forward Purchase Agreement that the holders of the shares of common stock and warrants included in the forward purchase units will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to the terms of any registration rights agreement applicable to any equity securities issued by way of private placement in connection with the closing of the Company’s initial business combination or, in the absence of the foregoing, pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement entered into by the Company, Sponsor and NGC in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the foregoing, on April 21, 2021, the Registration Rights Agreement was amended to clarify that the shares and warrants included in up to 7,500,000 total forward purchase units remain subject to the Registration Rights Agreement, regardless of the specific Forward Purchase Agreement pursuant to which they may be issued.Each Forward Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties by each party, conditions to closing, and additional provisions that are customary for agreements of this nature. The terms of all of the Forward Purchase Agreements are substantively the same, except that the NGC Forward Purchase Agreement gives NGC board observation rights prior to the Company’s initial business combination, and gives the members of NGC a priority right to subscribe for any of the forward purchase units that any other prospective purchasers do not elect to purchase under any of the other Forward Purchase Agreements.Proposed Business CombinationOn June 22, 2021, we, Embark Trucks Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Embark”), and NGAB Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Embark (the “Merger,” together with the other transactions related thereto, the “Embark Business Combination”), with Embark surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of us (the “Surviving Corporation”).On the date of closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), we will amend and restate our certificate of incorporation (the “Post-Closing Charter”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) we will have a dual class share structure with (x) shares of Class A common stock that will carry voting rights in the form of one vote per share (the “New Class A Common Stock”), and (y) shares of Class B common stock that will carry voting rights in the form of ten votes per share (the “New Class B Common Stock” and, together with the New Class A Common Stock, the “New Common Stock”) and (ii) all outstanding shares of our common stock will be reclassified into shares of New Class A Common Stock.

The Surviving Corporation will agree to pay certain fees and expenses relating to registrations under the Registration Rights Agreement.On July 2, 2021, we filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No: 333-257647) relating to the Embark Business Combination, which was subsequently amended through October 14, 2021. The SEC declared the Registration Statement effective on October 18, 2201, and we commenced mailing on or about October 20, 2021 of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus statement relating to the special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of our stockholders in connection with the Embark Business Combination. At the Special Meeting held on November 9, 2021, our stockholders voted and approved Proposal Nos. 1 through 7, including the Embark Business Combination, each of which is further described in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus.Other than as specifically discussed, this report does not assume the closing of the Embark Business Combination.Working Capital WarrantsOn November 9, 2021, we issued 2,000,000 Working Capital Warrants in full payment of its obligation under the Working Capital Loans.Results of OperationsWe have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from September 25, 2020 (inception) through January 15, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance),development efforts as well as general and administrative activities for due diligence expenses.ForThree Months Ended March 31, 2022 2021 Net cash (used in) provided by: (unaudited) Operating activities $ (18,225) $ (6,791) Investing activities $ (1,717) $ 17,270 Financing activities $ 287 $ 28 September 30, 2021, we had net incomeMarch 31, 2022 was $18.2 million, an increase of $11,546,198, which consists, change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $12,701,734, change in fair value of FPA liability of $393,333, and interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $5,328, offset by formation and operating costs of $1,554,197.For$11.4 million from $6.8 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021, we hadMarch 31, 2021.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the sale of 6,686,667 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant$4.2 million net cash increase by changes in a private placement to Northern Genesis Sponsor II LLC, the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $10,030,000.Following the Initial Public Offering and the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and, a total of $414,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $23,221,415 in Initial Public Offering related costs, including $8,280,000 of underwriting fees, $14,490,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $451,415 of other costs.For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $2,038,897. Net income of $4,182,273 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $28,694, the decrease in fair value of warrant liability of $8,328,400, loss on initial issuance of private warrants of $267,467, decrease in fair value of FPA liability of $253,333 and offering cost related to warrant liabilities of $1,148,289.

Asthe three months ended March 31, 2022 was $0.3 million compared to $28,000 of September 30, 2021, we had marketable securities heldnet cash used in investing activities for the Trust Accountthree months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $414,028,694 (including $28,694 of interest income) consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. Interest income on the balance$0.3 million in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through September 30, 2021, we have not withdrawn any interest earnedproceeds received from the Trust Account. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.As of September 30, 2021, we had cash of $34,688. We intend to use the funds heldThere have been no material changes outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, performordinary course of business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $3,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant, at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity from the sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. On August 12, 2021, the Sponsor has signed a Commitment Letter to provide up to $1,000,000 in working capital loans if required.We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.WeEmbark did not have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be consideredany off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2021. We do not participateMarch 31, 2022.transactions that create relationshipsconformity with unconsolidated entities orgenerally accepted accounting principles requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions in the preparation of Embark’s financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which wouldstatements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. There have been established forno material changes to Embark’s critical accounting policies or estimates during the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.Contractual obligationsWe do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative services. We began incurring these fees on January 12, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $14,490,000. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwritersthree months ended March 31, 2022, from the amounts heldthose discussed in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the Company entered into the NGC Forward Purchase Agreement with NGC, which NGC Forward Purchase Agreement was subsequently amended and restated as described under “—Recent Developments—Forward Purchase Agreements” above.The forward purchase transaction is not dependent upon or affected by the percentage of stockholders electing to redeem their Public Shares and may provide the Company with an increased minimum funding level for the initial Business Combination. The forward purchase transaction is subject to conditions, including the forward purchase investor giving the Company its irrevocable written confirmation, confirming its commitment to purchase forward purchase securities and the amount thereof, no later than fifteen days after the Company notifies it of the Company’s intention to raise capital through the issuance of equity securities in connection with the closing of an initial Business Combination. The forward purchase investor may grant or withhold its consent and confirmation entirely within its sole discretion. Accordingly, if the forward purchase investor does not consent to and confirm the purchase, it will not be obligated to purchase any of the forward purchase securities. In connection with the proposed Embark Business Combination, certain FPA Investors agreed to purchase PIPE Units as described under “—Recent Developments—Proposed Business Combination” above.CriticalRecent Accounting PronouncementsThe preparation of in Embark’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosuresincluded elsewhere in conformity with accounting principles generally acceptedthis Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.United StatesJOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, EGCs can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. Embark intends to elect to adopt new or revised accounting standards under private company adoption timelines. Accordingly, the timing of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affectEmbark’s adoption of new or revised accounting standards will not be the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:Warrant LiabilityWe account for warrantssame as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to our own common shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.Common Stock Subject to Possible RedemptionWe account for our common stock subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rightspublic companies that are either within the controlnot emerging growth companies or that have opted out of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our condensed consolidated balance sheets.Net Income Per Common ShareNet loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during theusing such extended transition period. We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Recent Accounting StandardsIn August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.MarketMarket.Not required for smaller reporting companies.Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to ourOur management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officerChief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation ofChief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures(as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that duringAct), as of the end of the period covered by this report,Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of March 31, 2022, due to the material weakness described in the Annual Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due solely to theeffective.below in “Changesabove, our management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, will continue through 2022 to dedicate significant efforts and resources to further improve our control environment and to take steps to remediate these material weaknesses.Reporting.” In lightReportingthis material weakness, we performed additional analysisthe remediation measures or as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statementsdescribed above, there were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere was no changechanges in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter of 2021 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Qthree months ended March 31, 2022, that hashave materially affected, or isare reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Due solely to the events that led to our restatementNoneFactors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC. Except as described below, as of the date of this Report, there have beenThere are no material changes to the risk factors discloseddiscussed in ourEmbark’s Annual Report filedunder the heading “Risk Factors.” You should carefully consider these risks, together with management’s discussion and analysis of Embark’s financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the SEC.Our warrants are accounted for as liabilitiescondensed consolidated financial statements and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.On April 12, 2021, the SEC issued the SEC Staff Statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by SPACs. Specifically, the SEC Staff Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement governing our warrants. As a result of the SEC Staff Statement, we reevaluated the accounting treatment of our public warrants and private placement warrants, and determined to classify the warrants as derivative liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings. As a result,notes thereto included on our balance sheet as of September 30, 2021 contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report are derivative liabilities related to embedded features contained within our warrants. ASC Subtopic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, provides for the remeasurementon Form 10-Q. If any of the fair value of such derivatives at each balance sheet date, with a resulting non-cash gain or loss related to the change in the fair value being recognized in earnings in the statements of operations. As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, our financial statements andevents contemplated should occur, Embark’s business, results of operations, may fluctuate quarterly, based on factors which are outside of our control. Due to the recurring fair value measurement, we expect that we will recognize non-cash gains or losses on our warrants each reporting periodfinancial condition and that the amount of such gains or lossescash flows could be material.
On January 15, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 41,400,000 Units. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $414,000,000. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Barclays Capital Inc. and CIBC Capital Markets acted as joint book-running managers of the Initial Public Offering. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-251639 and 333-252056). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statements effective on January 12, 2021.
Simultaneous with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and Northern Genesis Sponsor II LLC consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 6,686,667 Units at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $10,030,000. Each Private Placement Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
The Private Warrants are identical to the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.
Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the Private Placement Warrants, an aggregate of $414,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account.
We paid a total of $8,280,000 in underwriting fees, $14,490,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $451,415 for other costs and expenses related to the Initial Public Offering.
For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering, see Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.
