Basis of Presentation

On January 21, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the previously announced merger pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 21, 2020, by and among the Company, Merger Sub and Former CarLotz, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 16, 2020, by and among the Company, Merger Sub and Former CarLotz (See Note 3 “Merger” for further discussion).

Notwithstanding the legal form of the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, CarLotz is treated as the acquired company and Former CarLotz is treated as the acquiror for financial statement reporting and accounting purposes.

8


CarLotz, Inc. and Subsidiaries — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands, except share data)
historical operations of Former CarLotz are deemed to be those of the Company. Thus, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Former CarLotz prior to the Merger, (ii) the combined results of the Company and Former CarLotz following the Merger on January 21, 2021, (iii) the assets and liabilities of Former CarLotz at their historical cost and (iv) the Company’s equity structure for all periods presented. The recapitalization of the number of shares of common stock attributable to the purchase of Former CarLotz in connection with the Merger is reflected retroactively to the earliest period presented and will be utilized for calculating earnings per share in all prior periods presented. No step-up basis of intangible assets or goodwill was recorded in the Merger transaction consistent with the treatment of the transaction as a reverse recapitalization of Former CarLotz.

In connection with the Merger, Acamar Partners Acquisition Corp. changed its name to CarLotz, Inc. The Company’s common stock is now listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “LOTZ” and warrants to purchase the common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share are listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “LOTZW”. Prior to the Merger, the Company neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue. Until the Merger, based on the Company’s business activities, it was a “shell company” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes of Former CarLotz as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 (audited consolidated financial statements) filed as Exhibit 99.1contained in Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Current Reportour Registration Statement on Form 8-K/AS-1 filed with the SEC on March 15,May 25, 2021. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, included herein, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Former CarLotz as of that date filed as Exhibit 99.1contained in Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Current Reportour Registration Statement on Form 8-K/AS-1 filed with the SEC on March 15,May 25, 2021.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, which consist of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and its results of operations for the sixthree and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020. The results for the sixthree and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the current fiscal year or any other future periods.
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
For a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies and for further information on accounting updates adopted in the prior year, see Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements.
During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, there were no significant revisions to the Company’s significant accounting policies, other than those indicated herein.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities.

Following the closing of the Merger, Former CarLotz equity holders at the effective time of the Merger will have the contingent right to receive, in the aggregate, up to 7,500,000 shares of common stock if, from the closing of the Merger until the fifth anniversary thereof, the reported closing trading price of the common stock exceeds certain thresholds. Estimating the change in fair value of the earnout liability for the earnout shares that could be earned by Former CarLotz equity holders at the effective time of the Merger requires determining both the fair value valuation model to use and inputs to the valuation model. The fair value of the earnout shares was estimated by utilizing a Monte-Carlo simulation model, which is a commonly used valuation model for this type of transaction. Inputs that have a significant effect on the earnout shares valuation include the expected volatility, starting stock price, expected term, risk-free interest rate and the earnout hurdles. See Note 6 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak and spread of the COVID-19 virus a pandemic. The outbreak is disrupting supply chains and impacting production and sales across a wide range of industries. The full economic impact of this pandemic has not been determined, including the impact on the Company’s suppliers, customers and credit markets. Due to the evolving and uncertain nature of COVID-19, it is reasonably possible that it could materially impact the Company’s estimates, particularly those noted above that require consideration of forecasted financial information, in the near to medium term. The ultimate impact will depend on numerous evolving factors that the Company may not be able to accurately predict, including the duration and extent of the pandemic, the impact of federal, state, local and foreign governmental actions, consumer behavior in response to the pandemic and other economic and operational conditions the Company may face.
Restricted Cash
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, restricted cash included approximately $226$214 and $605, respectively. The restricted cash is legally and contractually restricted as collateral for 2 lettersa letter of credit issued on behalf of CarLotz Group, Inc. and of the reinsurance companies for the payment of claims.claims on the reinsurance companies.
Marketable Securities
The Company and its reinsurance subsidiaries invest excess cash in marketable securities in the ordinary course of conducting their operations and maintain a portfolio of marketable securities primarily comprised of fixed income debt securities. The Company has investments in marketable securities that are classified as available-for-sale securities and are reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of equity securities are recognized in other income (expense) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of debt securities are recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities impact the Company’s net income only when such securities are sold or when other-than-temporary impairment is recognized. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined by specific identification of each security’s cost basis and are recognized on the trade date.
Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates the designations at each balance sheet date. The Company may sell certain of the Company’s marketable securities prior to their stated maturities for strategic reasons, including, but not limited to, anticipation of credit deterioration and duration management. The Company reviews its debt securities on a regular basis to evaluate whether or not any security has experienced an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. The Company considers factors such as the length of time and extent to which the market value has been less than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost basis. If the Company believes that an other-than-temporary decline exists in one of these securities, the Company will write down these investments to fair value through earnings.
Capitalized website and internal-use software costs
The Company capitalizes costs associated with customized internal-use software systems that have reached the application development stage. Such capitalized costs include external direct costs utilized in developing or obtaining the applications and payroll and payroll-related expenses for employees who are directly associated with the applications. Capitalization of such costs begins when the preliminary project stage is complete and ceases at the point in which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over 3 years.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments-Overall. ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments except those under the equity method of accounting to be measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in net income. ASU 2016-01 is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2019 for annual periods and on January 1, 2020 for interim periods within annual periods. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard will affect all entities that lease assets and will require lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (except for short-term leases that have a duration of less than one year) as of the date on which the lessor makes the underlying asset available to the lessee. For lessors, accounting for leases is substantially the same as in prior periods. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new leases standard. ASU 2016-02, as subsequently amended for various technical issues, is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and early adoption is permitted. For leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach. While the Company expects the adoption of this standard to result in an increase to the reported assets and liabilities, it has not yet determined the full impact the adoption of this standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13, as subsequently amended for various technical issues, is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard to its financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requires public entities to disclose certain new information and modifies some disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. An entity is permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other- Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. This standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software.

The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 on January 1, 2020 for annual periods, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810), Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities, which addresses the cost and complexity of financial reporting associated with consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIE”). The new guidance must be applied on a retrospective basis as a cumulative-

effectcumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2018-17 on January 1, 2020, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements or related disclosures because the Company does not currently have any indirect interests through related parties under common control for which it receives decision making fees.
In December 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.
Note 3 — Merger

On the Closing Date, the Company consummated the previously announced merger pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 21, 2020, by and among the Company, Merger Sub and Former CarLotz, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated December 16, 2020, by and among the Company, Merger Sub and Former CarLotz.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between the Company and Former CarLotz was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Former CarLotz with Former CarLotz surviving as the surviving company.
The Merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Acamar Partners was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes (See Note 1 - Description of the Business). Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of Former CarLotz issuing stock for the net assets of Acamar Partners, accompanied by a recapitalization.
Prior to the Merger, Former CarLotz and Acamar Partners filed separate standalone federal, state and local income tax returns. As a result of the Merger, structured as a reverse acquisition for tax purposes, Acamar Partners was renamed CarLotz, Inc. and became the parent of the consolidated filing group, with Former CarLotz as a subsidiary.

Earnout Shares
Former CarLotz equity holders at the closing of the Merger are entitled to receive up to an additional 6,945,732 earnout shares. The earnout shares will be issued to the beneficiaries if certain targets are met in the post-acquisition period. The earnouts for the earnout shares are subject to an earnout period, which is defined as the date 60 months following the consummation of the Merger. The Merger closed on January 21, 2021, and the earnout period expires January 21, 2026. The earnout shares will be issued if any of the following conditions are achieved following January 21, 2021:
i.If at any time during the 60 months following the Closing Date(theDate (the first business day following the end of such period, the “Forfeiture Date”), the closing trading price of the common stock is greater than $12.50 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “First Threshold”), the Company will issue 50% of the earnout shares.
ii.If at any time prior to the Forfeiture Date, the closing trading price of the common stock is greater than $15.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “Second Threshold”), the Company will issue 50% of the earnout shares.
iii.If either the First Threshold or the Second Threshold is not met on or before the Forfeiture Date, any unissued earnout shares are forfeited. All unissued earnout shares will be issued if there is a change of control of the Company that will result in the holders of the common stock receiving a per share price equal to or in excess of $10.00 (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, special cash dividends, reorganizations, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions affecting the common stock) prior to the Forfeiture Date.
Before the contingency is met, the earnout shares will be classified as a liability under the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, so changes in the fair value of the earnout shares in future periods will be recognized in the statement of operations. The estimated fair value of the liability is determined by using a Monte-Carlo simulation model.

Retail Vehicle Sales
The Company sells used vehicles to retail customers through its 1518 retail hub locations.

Customers frequently trade-in their existing vehicle to apply toward the transaction price of a used vehicle. Trade-in vehicles represent noncash consideration, which the Company measures at estimated fair value of the vehicle received on the trade. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenue for used vehicle sales at a point in time when the title to the vehicle passes to the customer, at which point the customer controls the vehicle.
The Company receives payment for used vehicle sales directly from the customer at the time of sale or from third-party financial institutions within a short period of time following the sale if the customer obtains financing.
The Company’s exchange policy allows customers to initiate an exchange of a vehicle during the first three days or 500 miles after delivery, whichever comes first. An exchange reserve is immaterial based on the Company’s historical activity.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The carrying amounts of restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because their respective maturities are less than three months.

Beginning March 10, 2021, the Company entered into a $30,000 floor plan credit facility with Ally Financial. Concurrently, proceeds from the agreement were used to settle outstanding debt obligations on the Company’s preexisting floor plan facility with Automotive Finance Corporation (“AFC”). In June 2021, the Company expanded the floor plan credit facility by $10,000 to a total of $40,000. The carrying value of the Ally Financial floor plan notes payable outstanding as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 approximates fair value due to its variable interest rate determined to approximate current market rates.

Stock Option Plans
The Company has 3 stock incentive plans, the “2011 Stock Option Plan,” the “2017 Stock Option Plan” and the “2020 Incentive Award Plan,” to promote the long-term growth and profitability of the Company. The plans do this by providing senior management and other employees with incentive to improve shareholder value and contribute to the growth and financial success of the Company by granting equity instruments to these stakeholders.
Share-based compensation expense was recorded for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020 of approximately $45,667$49,114 and $37, respectively.

Changes in the inputs can materially affect the fair value estimates and ultimately the amount of stock-based compensation expense that is recognized.
During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, there were 0no grants related to the 2011 Stock Option Plan.

Merger closed on January 21, 2021, and the earnout period expires January 21, 2026. Earnout RSUs will vest if any of the following conditions are achieved following January 21, 2021:
i.If at any time during the 60 months following the Closing Date (the first business day following the end of such period, the “Forfeiture Date”), the closing trading price of the common stock is greater than $12.50 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “First Threshold”), 50% of the Earnout RSUs will vest.
ii.If at any time prior to the Forfeiture Date, the closing trading price of the common stock is greater than $15.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “Second Threshold”), 50% of the Earnout RSUs will vest.
iii.If either the First Threshold or the Second Threshold is not met on or before the Forfeiture Date, any unvested Earnout RSUs are forfeited. All unvested Earnout RSUs will vest if there is a change of control of the Company that will result in the holders of the common stock receiving a per share price equal to or in excess of $10.00 (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, special cash dividends, reorganizations, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions affecting the common stock) prior to the Forfeiture Date.

The estimated fair value of the liability is determined by using a Monte-Carlo simulation model, which incorporates various assumptions, including expected stock price volatility, contractual term, dividend yield and stock price at grant date. The Company estimates the volatility of common stock on the date of grant based on the weighted-average historical stock price volatility of comparable publicly-traded companies.

Note 18 — Income Taxes
During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, the Company recorded no income tax benefits for the net operating losses incurred in the period due to its uncertainty of realizing a benefit from those items. All of the Company’s operating losses since inception have been generated in the United States.
The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon its ability to realize the deferred tax assets. Management has considered the Company’s history of cumulative net losses incurred since inception through JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of the deferred tax assets.

OurGenerally, our hubs act as both physical showrooms with retail sales volumes and as consignment centers where we can source, process and recondition newly acquired vehicles. Our ability to source vehicles through these locations is important to our asset-light business model. At these hubs, our vehicles undergo an extensive 133-point inspection and reconditioning process in preparation for resale. Our hubs are more than just locations to buy, sell and repair vehicles and are crucial to the information and data-analytics that we make available to our corporate vehicle sourcing partners and retail customers.

For our retail buyers, we offer a fully digital and hassle-free process that offers our full range of services, as we continue to expand our technological solutions. Our strategy is to roll out a fully integrated mobile application while continuing to expand our digital car buying platform.

Business Update

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and continuing in the fourth quarter to date, due to the continuing semi-conductor chip shortage and COVID-related supply chain issues constraining supply, there has been compression of the margin between retail and wholesale prices, which has reduced the incremental value we can deliver to our corporate vehicle sourcing partners via Retail Remarketing™, making consignment less attractive to partners than quickly selling vehicles through the wholesale channel. Supply of used vehicles from our corporate vehicle sourcing partners is severely constrained by the lack of new vehicle supply due to the semi-conductor chip shortage. Due to the continued uncertainty influencing the used vehicle market, we are unable to predict when there will be a return to a more normalized used vehicle market.

Due to sourcing constraints in the second and third quarters of 2021, we sourced a significant majority of our vehicles via wholesale auction during a period of severe supply constraints, and our current inventory is limited to the types of cars that were available to us. The inventory that was available to purchase, some of which remains in inventory, is generally less desirable, lower aged vehicles with higher average price points than in prior quarters. This difference in inventory has resulted in a portion of our inventory being held for sale longer than in prior periods and has increased our exposure to erosion in selling prices as well as lower unit sales. We experienced strongerosion in retail gross profit in the third quarter, and we expect gross profit to be under pressure until the used vehicle market normalizes and the mix of inventory changes.

Hubs opened in 2021 have not been ramping to expected results and consequently have not provided the expected contribution to unit sales, revenue, and gross profit. Also, we experienced a weaker retail GPU and gross profit performance for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, due primarily to higher averageas we reduced prices on aging inventory which reduced the margin between our selling prices for vehicles sourced in the first half of the quarter via purchase and consignment at lower relative costvehicle acquisition costs on owned inventory.

Additionally, as average used vehicle selling prices were appreciating, resulting from high consumer demand. As previously disclosed, in mid-May 2021, the corporate vehicle sourcing partner that accounted for more than 60% of the cars we sold during the fourth quarter of 2020 and the three months ended March 31, 2021 informed us that it would be pausing its consignment of vehicles to us with immediate effect, due to the current strength of the wholesale market for vehicles. In order to secure sufficient inventory for sale following such pause in consignments, we significantly increased our purchasing of vehicles through wholesale auctions. At June 30, 2021, consigned vehicles represented approximately 20% of our vehicle inventory. This mix has continued into the third quarter to date. Retail GPU and gross profit decreased during the second half of the quarter as average used vehicle sale prices began to level off, reducing the margin between our selling prices and vehicle acquisition costs that we benefited from in the first half of the quarter.

In the past few weeks, we began discussions with ourThe corporate vehicle sourcing partner that paused their consignmentsresumed its consignment of vehicles with respect to the potential resumption of consignments. We have consigned several vehiclesus in the last week. We cannot provide assurance, though, as to when thisthird quarter. Although the corporate vehicle sourcing partner resumed its consignment of vehicles with us in the third quarter, they have not returned to the same volume of vehicles and we cannot provide assurance that they will consign a materialreturn to the same volume of vehicles, and if the price, types and quality of such vehicles will be attractive to us.

DuringAs inventory levels increased and we moved through the first halfquarter, we decreased our purchasing of 2021 and continuing in the third quarter to date, due to the continuing chip shortage and COVID-related supply chain issues constraining supply coupled with significant consumer demand influenced by COVID-related financial stimulus, there has been a sustained compression of the margin between retail and wholesale prices, which has reduced the value we can deliver to our corporate vehicle sourcing partners via Retail Remarketing™, making consignment less attractive to partners than quickly selling vehicles through the wholesale channel. While this gap between retail and wholesale prices is beginning to return, supplyauctions as we increased our sourcing of usednon-competitively sourced vehicles. At September 30, 2021, consigned vehicles from our corporate vehicle sourcing partners is severely constrained by the lack of new vehicle supply due to the chip shortage. Due to the continued uncertainty influencing the used vehicle market, we are unable to predict when there will be a return to a more normalized used vehicle market.

Having to source a significant majorityrepresented approximately 21% of our vehicles via wholesale auction during a period of severe supply constraints has limited the types of cars available to us for purchase to generally lower aged vehicles with higher average price points than in prior quarters. This difference in inventory has resulted in increasing average days to sale and increasing our exposure to depreciation in selling prices as well as lower unit sales. We have experienced depreciation in retail gross profit in the third quarter, and we expect gross profit to be at decreased levels until the used vehicle market normalizes and the mix of inventory changes.

As a result of the factors described above, our hubs opened in 2021 have not been ramping to expected results and consequently have not provided the expected contribution to gross profit. We expect a similar extended ramp up period to profitability and unit sales with additional hubs that we open prior to market conditions normalizing.

Revenue Generation
CarLotz generates a significant majority of its revenue from contracts with retail customers related to the sales of vehicles. We sell used vehicles to our retail customers from our hubs located throughout the U.S. Customers also frequentlymay trade-in their existing vehicle to apply toward the transaction price of a used vehicle, for which we generate revenue on the sale of a used vehicle to the customer trading-in their vehicle and on the traded-in vehicle when it is sold to a new owner. We also sell vehicles to wholesalers or other dealers, primarily at auctions. Generally, the vehicles sold to wholesalers or other dealersthrough the wholesale channel are vehicles acquired via trade-in, acquired via consignment that do not meet our quality standards for sale to retail customers, or vehicles that remain unsold at the end of the consignment period.period, retail vehicles that did not sell through the retail channel

within a reasonable period of time, or vehicles that the Company determines offer greater financial benefit through the wholesale channel. CarLotz generates revenue from providing retail vehicle buyers with options for financing, insurance and extended warranties. Our revenue for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020 was $94.6$175.4 million and $44.7$81.6 million, respectively.
Inventory Sourcing

We source vehicles from both corporate and consumer sellers, and auctions. We source vehicles non-competitively through the industry’s leading consignment to retail sales model, and we also source vehicles competitively through purchase as necessary to provide inventory at our newer hub locations, to round out our inventory and during periods such as the one we are currently experiencing when market conditions reduce the incremental value we are able to provide to our sourcing partners through the retail channel, as compared to the wholesale channel. We maintain long-term sourcing relationships with numerous key blue-chip national accounts and have a sales pipeline of potential new accounts. We support our corporate vehicle sourcing partners by offering an integrated technology platform that allows our supply partners to track the sale process of their vehicles in real-time, along with a custom system for managing customer leads and leads from third party providers.
Our proprietary application includes a suite of features tailored to create significant value for both buyers and sellers with tools for photographing, documenting and transmitting vehicle information. This includes a proprietary custom-built vehicle retailing and wholesaling platform that creates and verifies all documents for the purchase or sale and financing over the web or in-hub. Our technology offers a custom system for managing customer leads, scheduling appointments and test drives from our applications and websites as well as from third party providers.
In addition to our flat fee model, we also enter into alternative fee arrangements with certain corporate vehicle sourcing partners based on a return above a wholesale index or based on a profit share program. Under these alternative fee arrangements, our gross profit for a particular unit could be higher or lower than the gross profit per unit we would realize under our flat fee pricing model depending on the unit’s sale price, and fees we are able to charge in connection with the sale. As we do not have long-term contracts with any of our corporate vehicle sourcing partners and do not require them to make vehicles available to us, our volume and mix of vehicles from our corporate vehicle sourcing partners has and will continue to fluctuate over time.
We also have dealer owned inventory that operates in a similar manner to traditional used car dealers and which exposes us more directly to the effects of changes in vehicle prices and, particularly when sourcing via wholesale auction purchase, to the margin between retail and wholesale prices. Our gross profit per unit is therefore likely to fluctuate from period to period, perhaps significantly, due to our mix of flat fee, dealer owned and alternative fee arrangements as well as due to our acquisition costs and the sales prices and fees we are able to collect on the vehicles.
Generally, our hubs have integrated vehicle processing centers, which allows us to recondition vehicles at the hub. Our step-by-step process includes allmost aspects of preparing a vehicle for sale, including a 133-point inspection, mechanical and bodycosmetic reconditioning, detail, merchandisingdetailing and imaging.merchandising. As we scale our business, our plan is to invest ineach new hub provides us increased processing capacity. In addition to achieving cost savings and operational efficiencies, we aim to lower our days to sale. Going forward, our strategy is to make capital investments in additional hubs with integrated vehicle processing centers by leveraging our data analytics and industry experience and taking into account a combination of factors, including proximity to buyers and sellers, transportation costs and access to inbound inventory. All of these initiatives are designed to lower reconditioning costs per unit.
Regional Hub Network
Through our full service e-commerce website and sixteentwenty regional hubs, we provide a seamless shopping experience for today’s modern vehicle buyer, allowing our nationwide retail customers to transact online, in-person or a combination of both. We offer a full-spectrum of inventory, including high-value and commercial vehicles, available for delivery anywhere in the U.S. Our regional hubs allow for test drives and on-site purchase, which we plan to expand to nationwide coverage.

CarLotz also generates revenue from providing retail vehicle buyers with options for financing, insurance and extended warranties; these services are provided by third parties that pay CarLotz a commission based on our customers’ purchases. Since we do not control these products before they are transferred to the consumer, we recognize commission revenue at the time of sale. We plan to expand our F&I product offering to drive additional gross profit.

Factors Affecting our Performance
Expansion into New Geographic Markets
We actively monitor attractive markets to enter, with a focus on highly concentrated or growing demographic areas and attractive start-up costs. Our real estate team has identified new hub locations in furtherance of our goal of opening at least 14 to 16 new hubs in 2021. SevenTen new hubs were opened in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 20202021 in Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Virginia, California, Illinois, Georgia, Colorado and Washington. In addition, we had a new hub open in Colorado on July 26, 2021. We believe an expanded footprint will enable us to increase our vehicle sales and further penetrate our national vehicle sourcing partners while also attracting new corporate vehicle sourcing partners that were previously unavailable due to our geographic limitations. The laws of certain states that we enter may currently or in the future restrict our operations or limit the fees we can charge for certain services.
Further Penetration of Existing Accounts and Key Vehicle Channels
We believe that we can benefit from significant untapped volume with existing corporate vehicle sourcing partners and that our growing footprint will allow us to better serve our national accounts. Many of our existing sourcing partners still sell less than 5% of their volumes through the retail channel. As Retail Remarketing™ continues to develop as a more established alternative and as CarLotz expands to serviceserve buyers and sellers nationwide, we anticipate growth with our existing commercial sellers, after the supply constraints return to normal.
Innovation and Expanded Technological Leadership
We are constantly reviewing our technology platform, and our strategy is to leverage our existing technological leadership through our end-to-end e-commerce platform to continually enhance both the car buying and selling experience, while providinggenerating insightful data analytics in real time. Over the next two years, we plan to invest significantly in our core suite of technology to enhance the buyer and seller experience, improve our B2B vehicle sourcing and enhance our business intelligence capabilities with increased machine learning and artificial intelligence. In addition, we plan to invest significant amounts for various retail and processing enhancements.
Investments in Additional Processing Capacity
As we scale our business, our plan is to invest in increased processing capacity. In addition to achieving cost savings and operational efficiencies, we aim to lower our days to sale. Going forward, our strategy is to make capital investments in additional processing centers by leveraging our data analytics and industry experience and taking into account a combination of factors, including proximity to buyers and sellers, transportation costs and access to inbound inventory. All of these initiatives are designed to lower reconditioning costs per unit and thereby improve per unit economics.
Addition of New Corporate Vehicle Sourcing Accounts
We plan to leverage our national footprint in order to access new corporate vehicle sourcing partners, which may not have been accessible in the past due to our current limited geographic reach. Additional vehicle volume from new accounts would allow us to improve our consigned vehicle market share at existing and new locations.
Investment in Brand and Tactical Marketing
With a portion of the additional capital we raised in connection with the Merger, we ramped up our local advertising and began to focus on a more national audience. Our plan includes analytics-driven, targeted marketing investments to accelerate growth while being accretive to margins. With improved awareness of our brand and our services, we plan to identify, attract and convert new corporate vehicle sourcing partners at optimized cost.
33


Increased Service Offerings and Price Optimization
As we further develop the CarLotz brand, we believe our enhanced platform will support increased revenue from product sales and optimized vehicle pricing. Areas of potential further investment in service offerings include (i) expansion of existing and new F&I products that may cover appearance, roadside assistance, key insurance and wheel and tire production and (ii) further development of a front-end digital solution to source more vehicles from consumers.
34


Seasonality
Used vehicle sales exhibit seasonality with sales typically peaking late in the first calendar quarter and diminishing through the rest of the year, with the lowest relative level of vehicle sales expected to occur in the fourth calendar quarter. Used vehicle prices also exhibit seasonality, with used vehicle prices depreciatingdeclining at a faster rate in the last two quarters of each year and a slower rate in the first two quarters of each year. Historically, this has led our gross profit per unit to be higher on average in the first half of the year than in the second half of the year. Because of the market dynamics that drove uprelated to the average sales price ofcontinuing semi-conductor chip shortage and COVID-related supply chain issues constraining supply, we have not seen the typical seasonality related to used cars, we could seevehicle prices. Average used carvehicle prices depreciatingbegan to level off at a faster rate than historically seen in the last two quartersbeginning of the year.third quarter before continuing to appreciate throughout the third quarter.
Impact of COVID-19

Our ability to acquire and sell used vehicles can be negatively impacted by a number of factors that are outside of our control. Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and shortages of semi-conductor chips and other automotive supplies starting in 2020, certain automobile manufacturers have slowed production of new vehicles. The reduction in supply of new vehicles has limited the supply of used vehicles available through our corporate sourcing partners and mayis likely to continue to do so for the remainder of 2021 and beyond. To address the reduction from this supply source, we have begun sourcing the majoritysourced a higher percentage of our vehicles through wholesale auction channels.channels than we have historically. Because we are purchasing these vehicles, there is greater risk to the Company on the margin between the cost of the vehicle and the selling price, and we have seen compression of gross profit during the third quarter, which we expect to continue through the balance of the year. This risk could be compounded by our inability to turn inventory quickly and the pace at which used vehicles depreciate due to recent declines in retail market prices.depreciate.

We cannot provide assurance of the ultimate significance and duration of COVID-19 and the variants’ disruption to our operations for several reasons, including, but not limited to, uncertainty regarding the duration of the pandemic and related disruptions, the impact of governmental orders and regulations that have been, and may in the future be, imposed, and the impact of COVID-19 and the variants on our customers and corporate vehicle sourcing partners.

Like many companies, COVID-19 has increased our focus on the health and safety of our guests, employees and their families. To maintain a safe work environment, we have implemented procedures aligned with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to limit the spread of the virus and provide a safe environment for our guests and teammates. Some of the measures taken include encouraging our teammates to take advantage of flexible work arrangements, acquiring additional corporate office space and mandating social distancing.
Key Operating Metrics
We regularly review a number of metrics, including the following key metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our progress and make strategic decisions. Our operating metrics (which may be changed or adjusted over time as our business scales up or industry dynamics change) measure the key drivers of our growth, including opening new hubs, increasing our brand awareness through unique site visitors and continuing to offer a full spectrum of used vehicles to service all types of customers.

Retail Vehicles Sold
We define retail vehicles sold as the number of vehicles sold to customers in a given period, net of returns. We currently have a three-day, 500 mile exchange policy. The number of retail vehicles sold is the primary contributor to our revenues and gross profit, since retail vehicles enable multiple complementary revenue streams, including all finance and insurance products. We view retail vehicles sold as a key measure of our growth, as growth in this metric is an indicator of our ability to successfully scale our operations while maintaining product integrity and customer satisfaction.
35


Number of Hubs
We define a hub as a physical location at which we may recondition and store vehicles purchased and sold within a market. Our hubs cover a geographic area of approximately 300 miles, while some of our commercial accounts expand our coverage up to 1,000 miles, based on available inventory type. This is a key metric as each hub expands our service area, vehicle sourcing, reconditioning and storage capacity.
Average Monthly Unique Visitors
We define a monthly unique visitor as an individual who has visited our website within a calendar month, based on data provided by Google Analytics. We calculate average monthly unique visitors as the sum of monthly unique visitors in a given period, divided by the number of months in that period. We view average monthly unique visitors as a key indicator of the strength of our brand, the effectiveness of our advertising and merchandising campaigns and consumer awareness.
Vehicles Available-for-Sale
We define vehicles available-for-sale as the number of vehicles listed for sale on our website on the last day of a given reporting period. Along with our hub expansion, we view vehicles available-for-sale as a key measure of our growth. Growth in vehicles available-for-sale increases the selection of vehicles available to consumers in all of our markets simultaneously, which we believe will allow us to increase the number of vehicles we sell. Moreover, growth in inventory units available is an indicator of our ability to scale our vehicle sourcing, inspection and reconditioning operations.
Retail Gross Profit per Unit
We define retail gross profit per unit as the aggregate retail and F&I gross profit in a given period divided by retail vehicles sold during that period. Total retail gross profit per unit is driven by sales of used vehicles and the profit margin and fees on sale of those vehicles, each of which may generate additional revenue from providing retail vehicle buyers with options for financing, insurance and extended warranties. We believe gross profit per unit is a key measure of our growth and long-term profitability.
Percentage of unit sales sourced via consignment

We define percentage of unit sales sourced via consignment as the percentage derived by dividing the number of vehicles sold during the period that were sourced via consignment divided by the total number of vehicles sold during the period. This is key because this metric underlies part of our competitive advantage in the market. The percentage of unit sales sourced via consignment dropped in the secondthird quarter of 2021 due to the pause by our largest vehicles sourcing partner, which led to our sourcing morelow supply of our vehicles competitively at auction. GPU for the quarter remained strong because of increased finance and insurance penetration and dealer inventory sourced in the first halfcommercial consignments available as a result of the quarter being sold at attractive prices to thechip shortage. We experienced erosion in retail buyer in a macroeconomic environment where the average used vehicle sales price was appreciating. GPU was lower in the second half of the quarter as dealer inventory was sourced at higher prices while selling prices leveled off. We have experienced lower gross profit on vehicle sales in the third quarter, to date. We anticipate this will continue in the third and fourth quarters as we expect gross profit to be at decreased levelsunder pressure until the used vehicle market normalizes and the mix of inventory changes.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenues
Retail Vehicle Sales
CarLotz sells used vehicles to retail customers through its hubs in various cities throughout the continental U.S. Revenue from retail vehicle sales is recognized when the title to the vehicle passes to the customer, at which point the customer controls

the vehicle. We recognize revenue based on the total purchase price stated in the contract, including any processing fees. Our exchange policy allows customers to initiate a return until the earlier of the first three days or 500 miles after delivery.
Wholesale Vehicle Sales
We sell wholesale vehicles primarily through auction as wholesale vehicles acquired often
Vehicles that do not meet ourthe Company’s standards for retail vehicle sales.sales, retail vehicles that did not sell through the retail channel within a reasonable period of time and vehicles that the Company determines offer greater financial benefit through the wholesale channel are sold through various wholesale methods. Revenue from wholesale vehicle sales is recognized when the vehicle is sold, either at auction or directly to a wholesaler, and title to the vehicle passes to the buyer.
36


Finance and Insurance, net
We provide customers with options for financing, insurance and extended warranties. Certain warranties sold beginning January 1, 2019 are serviced by a company owned by a major stockholder. All other such services are provided by third-party vendors with whom we have agreements giving us the right to offer such services directly. When a customer selects a service from these third-party vendors, we earn a commission based on the actual price paid or financed. We recognize finance and insurance revenue at the point in time when the customer enters into the contract.
Lease Income, net
Lease income, net represents revenue earned on the spread between the interest rate on leases we enter into with our B2B lease customers and the related leases we enter into with third party lessors.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes the cost to acquire used vehicles and the related reconditioning costs to prepare the vehicles for resale. Vehicle reconditioning costs include parts, labor, inbound transportation costs and other costs such as mechanical inspection, vehicle preparation supplies and repair costs. Cost of sales also includes any necessary adjustments to reflect vehicle inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily include compensation and benefits, marketing, facilities cost, technology expenses, logistics and other administrative expenses. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation on property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is: the lesser of 15 years or the underlying lease terms for leasehold improvements, one to five years for equipment, furniture and fixtures, and five years for corporate vehicles. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense as incurred. Major remodels and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation on vehicles leased to B2B customers is calculated using the straight-line over the estimated useful life. Amortization of capitalized website and internal-use software costs is computed using the straight-line method over 3 years.
Non-Operating Expenses
Non-operating expenses represent the change in fair value of the Merger warrants and the earnout shares. Additional non-operating income and expense include interest income on marketable securities, floor plan interest incurred on borrowings to finance the acquisition of used vehicle inventory under the Company’s former $12 million revolving floor plan facility with Automotive Finance Corporation and floor plan interest incurred on borrowings to finance the acquisition of used vehicle inventory under the Company’s current $40 million revolving floor plan facility with Ally.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of liquidity
Our main source of liquidity is cash generated from financing activities, which primarily includes proceeds from the Merger (see Note 3  — Merger in our condensed consolidated financial statements).
41



Since inception, we have generally operated at a loss for most periods. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term marketable securities of $259.2$201.2 million. We believe our available cash, restricted cash, short-term marketable securities and liquidity available under the Ally Facility are sufficient to fund our operations and expansion plans for at least the next 12 months. We expect that as we add hubs as part of our planned expansion and bring them to maturity, we will continue to operate at a loss until we achieve scale and are able to leverage our operating costs. Our hubs

opened in 2021 have not been ramping to expected results and consequently have not provided the expected contribution to unit sales, revenue and gross profit. If this continues to be the case, our cash on hand together with cash generated from operating activities may therefore be insufficient to fully fund the planned expansion of our business over the next couple years. In such a case, we would need to revise our expansion strategy or engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds in order to fund our continued expansion or we would need to slow or postpone the expansion to preserve cash. We may also require additional funds to the extent our plans change, if we elect to acquire complementary businesses or due to unforeseen circumstances. However, additional funds may not be available when we need them on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all.
Debt obligations

On March 10, 2021, we entered into an Inventory Financing and Security Agreement (the “Ally Facility”) with Ally Bank, a Utah chartered state bank (“Ally Bank”), and Ally Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ally” and, together with Ally Bank, the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender may provide up to $30 million in financing, or such lesser sum which may be advanced to or on behalf of us from time to time, as part of our floorplan vehicle financing program. In June, the Company expanded the floor plan credit facility by $10 million to a total of $40 million. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, we had $29.4$24.3 million principal outstanding under the Ally Facility, primarily from increased sourcing through vehicle purchases.
Under the Ally Facility, the Company is subject to financial covenants that require the Company to maintain at least 10% of the credit line in cash and cash equivalents, to maintain at least 10% of the credit line on deposit with Ally Bank and to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $90 million calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Advances under the Ally Facility bear interest at a per annum rate designated from time to time by the Lender determined using a 365/360 simple interest method of calculation, unless expressly prohibited by law. The interest rate is currently the prime rate plus 2.50% per annum, or 5.75%. Advances under the Ally Facility, if not demanded earlier, are due and payable for each vehicle financed under the Ally Facility as and when such vehicle is sold, leased, consigned, gifted, exchanged, transferred, or otherwise disposed of. Interest under the Ally Facility is due and payable upon demand, but, in general, in no event later than 60 days from the date of request for payment. Upon any event of default (including, without limitation, our obligation to pay upon demand any outstanding liabilities of the Ally Facility), the Lender may, at its option and without notice to us, exercise its right to demand immediate payment of all liabilities and other indebtedness and amounts owed to the Lender and its affiliates by us and our affiliates.
The Ally Facility is secured by a grant of a security interest in certain vehicle inventory and other assets of the Company.
Prior to our entry into the Ally Facility, we had a $12.0 million revolving floor plan facility available with AFC (the “AFC Facility”) to finance the acquisition of used vehicle inventory available on a revolving basis. The AFC Facility was secured by all of our assets. In connection with the entry into the Ally Facility, we repaid in full and terminated the AFC Facility.
On December 2, 2020, CarLotz issued a promissory note (the “Note”) to AFC. Under the terms of the Note, AFC agreed to make one advance to CarLotz upon request of $3.0 million. Amounts due under the Note accrued interest at 6.0% per year on a 365-day basis. The Note was due and payable on the earlier of the closing of the Merger and December 2, 2022. Amounts drawn on the Note were used for working capital purposes in the ordinary course of business. The Note was repaid upon the consummation of the Merger.
In April 2020, we received a loan totaling approximately $1.7 million from the Small Business Administration under the PPP to help us keep our workforce employed and avoid further headcount reduction during the COVID-19 crisis. The full amount of the PPP loan was repaid in connection with the closing of the Merger.
In December 2019, we entered into a note purchase agreement with AFC under which AFC agreed to purchase up to $5.0 million in notes, with the initial tranche equal to $3.0 million issued at closing and two additional tranches of at least $1.0 million on or prior to September 20, 2021, of which $0.5 million was issued prior to the completion of the Merger. The notes were converted into Former CarLotz common stock immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger and received the Merger consideration.

Operating Activities
For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $(70.7)$(110.2) million, primarily driven by net loss of $(22.2)$(25.7) million adjusted for non-cash charges of $(9.8)$(28.6) million and net changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $(38.6)$(55.9) million. The non-cash adjustments primarily relate to a decrease in fair value of the warrants and earnout shares of $(56.7)$(81.4) million, partially offset by stock compensation of $45.7$49.1 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities are primarily driven by an increase in inventories $(36.3),$(46.8) million, an increase other current assets of $(5.5)$(8.4) million and an increase in other long-term assets of $(4.1)$(4.3) million, partially offset by an increase in accrued expenses of $6.2$5.4 million and an increase in accounts payable of $2.5$3.5 million.

Investing Activities
For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, net cash used in investing activities was $(188.9)$(165.8) million, primarily driven by purchases of marketable securities of $(307.6)$(359.4) million, the purchase of property and equipment of $(3.7)$(6.8) million and capitalized software costs of $(6.6)$(11.5) million, partially offset by proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities of $129.0$212.8 million.
For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, net cash used in investing activities of $(0.8)$(1.1) million was primarily driven by purchases of marketable securities of $(0.7) million and the purchase of lease vehicles of $(0.1)$(1.0) million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements, including guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests, certain derivative instruments and variable interest entities that either have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For information on critical accounting policies, see “Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates” in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations attached as Exhibit 99.2contained in Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to our Current ReportRegistration Statement on Form 8-K/AS-1 filed with the SEC on March 15,May 25, 2021 and Part I, Item 2 of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

See the section titled “Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” in Note 2 in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments that are due on demand or have a remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents consisted of bank deposits, money market placements and debt securities that have a remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.
The cash and cash equivalents are held primarily for working capital purposes. These interest-earning instruments are subject to interest rate risk. To date, fluctuations in interest income have not been significant. Our surplus cash has been invested in money market fund accounts, interest-bearing savings accounts and U.S. government debt securities as well as corporate debt securities from time to time. We have not entered into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Due to the conservative nature of our investment portfolio, which is predicated on capital preservation of investments with short-term maturities, we do not believe an immediate one percentage point change in interest rates would have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio, and therefore, we do not expect our operating results or cash flows to be significantly affected by changes in market interest rates.
We also have exposure to changing interest rates in connection with the floor plan facility. Interest rate risk is highly sensitive due to many factors, including U.S. monetary and tax policies, U.S. and international economic factors and other factors beyond our control. Advances under the floor plan facility accrue interest at the most recent prime rate published in The
4344


Wall Street Journal plus 2.50% per annum and, as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal was 3.25%. We believe a change to our interest rate of 1% applicable to our outstanding indebtedness would have an immaterial financial impact. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, we had total outstanding debt of $29.4$24.3 million under the floor plan facility.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents were deposited in accounts at one financial institution, and account balances may at times exceed federally insured limits. Management believes that we are not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial strength of the depository institution in which the cash is held.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large diversity and number of customers comprising our retail customer base.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted 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 in Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 due to the existence of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that was identified in connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2019, and which is still being remediated.

Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Prior to the Merger, we were a private company with limited internal accounting and financial reporting personnel and other resources to address our internal control over financial reporting. In connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2019, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. As defined in the standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, a “material weakness” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weakness identified relates to (i) our lack of sufficient accounting and financial reporting resources to address internal control over financial reporting and personnel with requisite knowledge and experience in application of U.S. GAAP and SEC rules and (ii) general information technology controls in the areas of user access and program change-management over certain information technology systems that support the Company’s financial reporting processes.

Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weakness

We are taking steps to remediate this material weakness through the implementation of appropriate segregation of duties, formalization of accounting policies and controls, hiring of additional qualified accounting and finance personnel, and engagement of financial consultants to enable the implementation of internal controls over financial reporting. We are also applying a more rigorous review of the monthly financial reporting processes to ensure that the performance of the control is evidenced through appropriate documentation that is consistently maintained and evaluating necessary changes to our formalized process to ensure key controls are identified, the control design is appropriate and the necessary evidentiary documentation is maintained throughout the process. We also plan to implement certain accounting systems to automate manual processes.

45


The process of designing and implementing an effective financial reporting system is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations.
44



Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except as disclosed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information with respect to this Part II, Item 1can1 can be found in Note 15 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, readers should carefully consider the additional risk factors included below as well as the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021 are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. The impact of COVID-19 may implicate and exacerbate other risks discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, including but not limited to risks relating to general economic conditions. This situation continues to evolve and additional impacts may arise that we are not currently aware of. Due to the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and responses thereto, we cannot identify all of the risks we face from the pandemic and its aftermath.
Sourcing vehicles via competitive purchases may expose us to additional risks or increase risks we are subject to.
When acquiring vehicles via competitive purchase, we take on all the risks of ownership of a vehicle. While purchasing a vehicle can provide an opportunity for us to retain higher profits than when selling on behalf of a vehicle consignor, it also exposes us to all of the risks of vehicle ownership. For purchased vehicles, we are not able to enter into any risk sharing arrangement with a vehicle consignor or to share any of the cost of preparing the vehicle for sale, whether directly or through fees deducted from the sale proceeds that we deliver to a vehicle consignor. Purchasing vehicles increases the amount of our assets represented by inventory at a given time, which may constrain the amount of inventory we can hold at a given time. In general, competitively sourced vehicles are obtained at a higher purchase price than non-competitively sourced vehicles, increasing the chance of selling at a loss and lower retail unit sales, especially during periods when we may be forced to be less selective in our purchases to maintain a sufficient level and variety of inventory. Sourcing vehicles via competitive purchase in general is likely to result in lower gross profit and GPU as compared to sourcing vehicles non-competitively as we are likely to pay a higher price for the same vehicle, which also results in increased interest expense due to higher borrowings under our floorplan facility.
