Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation —The consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of EVTDS (see Note 3) as of June 30, 2021, which include the consolidated balance sheet accounts of Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. and subsidiaries, and for the fiscal period ended June 30, 2021, which include the consolidated results of operations of EVTDS for the entire six month period and include the consolidated results of operations of Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. and subsidiaries for the post-merger period March 16, 2021 through June 30, 2021, are unaudited, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In our opinion, these unaudited financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the EVTDS audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on April 22, 2021. The results of operations for the fiscal period ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Principles of Consolidation —The accompanying financial statements reflect the consolidation of the financial statements of EVTDS, its wholly-owned subsidiary Envirotech Drive Systems, Incorporated, and, from March 16, 2021 forward, the financial statements of Envirotech Vehicles, Inc., ADOMANI California, Inc., Adomani (Nantong) Automotive Technology Co. Ltd., ADOMANI ZEV Sales, Inc., Zero Emission Truck and Bus Sales of Arizona, Inc., and ZEV Resources, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates —The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments —The carrying values of our financial instruments, including cash, notes receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 820, “Fair Value Measurement” defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. It also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data and that require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities that are required to be measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Revenue Recognition — The Company recognizes revenue from the sales of zero-emission electric vehicles and vehicle maintenance and inspection services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying ASC Topic 606, the Company is required to: (1) Identify any contracts with customers. (2) Determine if multiple performance obligations exist. (3) Determine the transaction price. (4) Allocate the transaction price to the respective obligation; and, (5) Recognize the revenue as the obligation is satisfied. Product revenue also includes the sale of electric trucks and cargo vans. These sales represent a single performance obligation with revenue recognition occurring at the time title transfers. Transfer of title occurs when the customer has accepted the vehicle and signed the appropriate documentation acknowledging receipt. The Company is the recipient of a purchase order issued from GerWeiss EV USA LLC (“GerWeiss”) to produce all-electric tricycles (“e-trikes”), or all-electric light weight commercial vehicles. The Company has agreed to provide deposits to GerWeiss to fund the procurement of the supplies and assembly of the tricycles. The purchase order represents a single performance obligation with the Company recognizing revenue upon notification that the assembled units have been completed by GerWeiss. Upon the recording of revenue, the corresponding deposits are recorded as cost of goods sold. Other revenue includes performing basic vehicle maintenance and detailing, as well as safety inspections for compliance with United States Department of Transportation guidelines. These sales represent a single performance obligation with revenue recognition occurring at the time services are invoiced. Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Marketable Securities —The Company invests in short-term, highly liquid, marketable securities, such as U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. Treasury bonds, and other government-backed securities. The Company classifies these marketable securities as held-to-maturity, as the intent is not to liquidate them prior to the respective stated maturity date. At June 30, 2021, the aggregate amount of the Company’s investments in marketable securities was $12,010,190. There were no investments in marketable securities at December 31, 2020. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts— The Company establishes an allowance for bad debts through a review of several factors including historical collection experience, current aging status of the customer accounts, and financial condition of its customers. The Company does not generally require collateral for its accounts receivable. The Company had trade accounts receivable of $159, 177 and $9,000 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Because the trade accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2021 is from credit-worthy customers and because the December 31, 2020 balance was collected subsequent to that date, no allowance has been recorded relative to the trade accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020. Inventory and Inventory Valuation Allowance — The Company records inventory at the lower of cost or market, and uses a First In, First Out (“FIFO”) accounting valuation methodology. The Company had finished goods inventory on hand of $1,860,320 and zero as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company provided no inventory allowance as of June 30, 2021 other than as discussed in Note 3. Inventory Deposits― The Company records all inventory deposits as prepaid assets. Upon completion of production, and acceptance by the Company, deposits are reclassified to either inventory or cost of goods, depending on whether a sale of the product has occurred. The Company had inventory deposits of $2,877,875 and zero as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Income Taxes — The Company uses the liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting purposes. EVTDS previously recorded deferred tax benefits from net operating losses in current and prior periods. The Company, in light of the uncertainty of generating future taxable income against which those losses can be offset in order to realize such benefits, has determined that recording a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized is appropriate. In making such determinations, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. As of June 30, 2020, EVTDS did not recognize a full valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets. In March 2021, the Company recognized a full valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets, and as a result, recorded income tax expense of $218,300 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 in order to establish the reserve. This amount is also an income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The December 31, 2020 audit report for EVTDS stated that corporate income tax returns for 2017, 2018, and 2019 had not been filed; in fact, they were filed on December 15, 2020. The audit report also stated that corporate income tax returns for 2020 had not been filed; those returns were not due to be filed until May17, 2021, and they were filed in early May, 2021. Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes— The Company evaluates its uncertain tax positions and will recognize a loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The amount recognized is subject to estimate and management judgment with respect to the likely outcome of each uncertain tax position. The amount that is ultimately sustained for an individual uncertain tax position or for all uncertain tax positions in the aggregate could differ from the amount recognized. At June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, management did not identify any uncertain tax positions. Net Loss Per Share —Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common stockholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares of common stock adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity securities. As of June 30 , 202 1 , shares of the Company’s common stock were subject to issuance upon the exercise of stock options then outstanding and 29,847,994 shares of the Company’s common stock were subject to issuance upon the exercise of warrants then outstanding . Concentration of Credit Risk — The Company has credit risks related to cash and cash equivalents on deposit with a federally insured bank, as at times it exceeds the $250,000 maximum amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Additionally, the Company maintains cash and short-term securities invested at Morgan Stanley Private Bank, National Association (“Morgan Stanley”). Between FDIC and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SPIC”) coverage, funds up to $750,000, which may include cash up to $500,000, are insured. In addition, Morgan Stanley provides excess insurance acquired by them from SPIC for an additional $1.9 million in cash and unlimited per customer securities up to a $1 billion cap. The restricted cash reported by EVTDS as of December 31, 2020, combined with additional cash raised in 2021, was used to fund both the merger closing requirement of $5,000,000 to ADOMANI, Inc. (see Note 3) and to repay liabilities of EVTDS. The amount of restricted cash and corresponding unpaid current liabilities of EVTDS that is included in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2021 is approximately $ 254,913 For the three months ended March 31, 2021, total EVTDS sales were to one customer, ADOMANI, Inc., prior to the merger closing (see Note 3). The customer account was collected within two days of invoicing. In addition, the merged entity recorded additional sales during the two weeks post-merger which were made to two other customers and were collected within weeks of invoicing. The Company sold two vehicles during the last week of the three months ended June 30, 2021, and expects to be paid for them promptly and in full. Accordingly, customer accounts are reported at the invoiced amount outstanding. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets —Long-lived assets, including property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates these assets to determine potential impairment by comparing the carrying amount to the undiscounted estimated future cash flows of the related assets. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets are written down to their fair value. There was no impairment of long-lived assets, or property and equipment, as of June 30 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Goodwill . Goodwill represents the excess acquisition cost over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, Goodwill is not amortized and is subject to annual impairment testing on or between annual tests if an event or change in circumstance occurs that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. In testing for goodwill impairment, the Company has the option lo first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is not required. If the Company concludes otherwise, the Company is required to perform the two-step impairment test, The goodwill impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level by comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its respective carrying value. If the estimated fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill at the reporting unit level is not impaired. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, further analysis is necessary to determine the amount of impairment, if any, by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill to the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill. Research and Development —Costs incurred in connection with the development of new products and manufacturing methods are charged to operating expenses as incurred. No research and development costs were incurred for the three or six months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020. Stock-Based Compensation —The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered. Additionally, in June 2018 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-07, which simplified several aspects of accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of ASC Topic 718. The guidance is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company implemented this change beginning in 2019 . Because all outstanding unvested employee stock options became fully vested upon the merger close and change in control (see Note s 3 and 8 ) , and because no new options to purchase shares of common stock were granted between March 16, 2021 and June 30 , 2021, no stock-based compensation expense is recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the three or six months ended June 30 , 2021 . Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company provides for depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to five years, except leasehold improvements, which are being amortized over the life of the lease term. Property and equipment qualify for capitalization if the purchase price exceeds $2,000. Major repairs and replacements, which extend the useful lives of equipment, are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the property. All other maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Leases —The Company accounts for leases as required by ASC Topic 842. The guidance requires companies to recognize leased assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose key information regarding leasing arrangements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements — Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not effective, and does not believe that they will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. |
