•the possibility of a government shutdown while we remain in the due diligence phase with the U.S. Department of Energy Loan Programs Office or while we await notice of a decision regarding the issuance of a loan from the Department of Energy Loan Programs Office;
•our ability to develop efficient manufacturing processes to scale and to forecast related costs and efficiencies accurately;
•fluctuations in our revenue and operating results;
•competition from existing or new competitors;

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and, except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. See also Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” disclosures contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional discussion of the risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in its forward-looking statements.

As a growth company in the early commercialization stage of its lifecycle, Eos is subject to inherent risks and uncertainties associated with the development of an enterprise. In this regard, substantially all of the Company’s efforts to date have been devoted to the development and manufacturing of battery energy storage systems and complimentary products and services, recruitment of management and technical staff, deployment of capital to expand the Company’s operations to meet customer demand and raising capital to fund the Company’s development. As a result of these efforts, the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and expects to continue to incur such losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future until such time that the Company can reach a scale of profitability to sustain its operations.
In order to execute its development strategy, the Company has historically relied on outside capital through the issuance of equity, debt, and borrowings under financing arrangements (collectively “outside capital”) to fund its cost structure and expects to continue to rely on outside capital for the foreseeable future. While the Company believes it will eventually reach a scale of profitability to sustain its operations, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to achieve such profitability or do so in a manner that does not require its continued reliance on outside capital. Moreover, while the Company has historically been successful in raising outside capital, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to continue to obtain outside capital in the future or do so on terms that are acceptable to the Company.
As of the date the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued (the “issuance date”), management evaluated the significance of the following negative financial conditions in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 205-40, Going Concern:
•Since its inception, the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash from operations in order to fund its development. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $188,298, incurred negative cash flows from operations of $107,578, and had an accumulated deficit of $834,638 as of September 30, 2023.
•As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $57,970 of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available to fund the Company’s operations, no additional borrowings available to fund its operations under pre-existing financing arrangements (see Note 12, Borrowings) and working capital of $61,709, inclusive of $3,211 of outstanding debt that is currently scheduled to mature within the next twelve months beyond the issuance date.
•While the Company has available capacity under certain pre-existing arrangements to issue shares of the Company’s common stock, including the at-the-market (“ATM”) offering program, (see Note 18, Shareholders’ Deficit) to aid in funding the Company’s operations, the Company’s ability to secure such funding is dependent upon certain conditions, such as investors’ willingness to purchase the Company’s common stock and at a price that is acceptable to the Company. Accordingly, as of the issuance date there is no assurance the Company will be able to secure funding under these pre-existing arrangements or on terms that are acceptable to the Company.

1. Overview (cont.)
•Similarly, while the Company has historically been successful in raising additional outside capital to fund the Company’s operations, as of the issuance date no assurance can be provided the Company will be successful in obtaining additional outside capital or on terms that are acceptable to the Company. In this regard, the Company continues to progress through the Department of Energy (“DOE”) Loan Programs Office’s (“LPO”) process for its Title XVII loan. In August 2023, the DOE issued a Conditional Commitment Letter to the Company for a loan of an aggregate principal amount of up to $398,600 through the DOE’s Clean Energy Financing Program. Certain technical, legal, and financial conditions must be met and due diligence to the satisfaction of the DOE must be completed before the DOE enters into definitive financing documents with the Company and funds the loan. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure such a loan or on terms that are acceptable to the Company.
•The Company is required to remain in compliance with a quarterly minimum financial liquidity covenant under its Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement (“Senior Secured Term Loan”). While the Company was in compliance with this covenant as of September 30, 2023, and expects to remain in compliance as of December 31, 2023, absent the Company’s ability to secure additional outside capital, the Company may be unable to remain in compliance with this covenant beginning on March 31, 2024 and thereafter. In the event the Company is unable to remain in compliance with the minimum financial liquidity covenant and the other nonfinancial covenants required by the Senior Secured Term Loan, and the Company is further unable to cure such noncompliance or secure a waiver, Atlas Credit Partners (ACP) Post Oak Credit I LLC may, at its discretion, exercise any and all of its existing rights and remedies, which may include, among other things, entering into a forbearance agreement with the Company, and/or asserting its rights in the Company’s assets securing the loan. Moreover, the Company’s other lenders may exercise similar rights and remedies under the cross-default provisions of their respective borrowing arrangements with the Company.
•Absent an ability to secure additional outside capital in the near term, the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months beyond the issuance date.
•In the event the Company’s ongoing efforts to raise additional outside capital prove unsuccessful, management will be required to seek other strategic alternatives, which may include, among others, a significant curtailment in the Company’s operations, a sale of certain of the Company’s assets, a sale of the entire Company to strategic or financial investors, and/or allowing the Company to become insolvent.
These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and settle liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
Government Grants
The Company records grants received or receivable from government agencies as an offset to the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate the Company. The costs of satisfying the Company’s obligations under the respective grant agreements are recognized as expense when incurred. The Company recognizes grant money once it is reasonably assured that the Company will comply with the conditions of the grant.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were no new accounting standards or updates during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 that would have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

7. Intangible Assets
Intangible assets include patents valued at $400, which represents the cost to acquire the patents. These patents are determined to have useful lives and are amortized into the results of operations over ten years. The Company recorded amortization expense of $10 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $30 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to patents.

8. Notes Receivable, Net and Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) Consideration
Notes receivable primarily consist of amounts due to the Company related to the financing offered to certain customers. The Company reports notes receivable at the principal balance outstanding less an allowance for losses. The estimate of credit losses is based on historical trends, customers’ financial condition and current economic trends. The Company charges interest at a fixed rate and calculates interest income by applying the effective rate to the outstanding principal balance.

The Company had notes receivable, net of $863 and $863 outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company recorded an allowance for expected credit loss from the notes receivable of $2 and $2, respectively.
The customers to whom the Company offers financing through notes receivables are VIEs. However, the Company is not the primary beneficiary, because the Company does not have power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance. Therefore, the VIEs are not consolidated into the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The maximum loss exposure is limited to the carrying value of notes receivable as of the balances sheet dates.

10. Government Grants (cont.)
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”)
On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 into law. The IRA has significant economic incentives for both energy storage customers and manufacturers for projects placed in service after December 31, 2022. Starting in 2023, there are Production Tax Credits under Internal Revenue Code 45X (“PTC”), that can be claimed on battery components manufactured in the U.S. and sold to U.S. or foreign customers. These tax credits available to manufacturers include a credit for ten percent of the cost incurred to make electrode active materials in addition to credits of $35 per kWh of capacity of battery cells and $10 per kWh of capacity of battery modules. These credits are cumulative, meaning that companies will be able to claim each of the available tax credits based on the battery components produced and sold through 2029, after which the PTC will begin to gradually phase down through 2032. In June 2023, the IRS issued temporary and proposed regulations related to applicable tax credit transferability and direct pay provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act. The Company has reviewed these regulations and believes they do not have a material impact on the financial statements.
Since the PTC is a refundable credit (i.e., a credit with a direct-pay option available), the PTC is outside the scope of ASC 740. Therefore, the Company accounts for the PTC under a government grant model. GAAP does not address the accounting for government grants received by a business entity that are outside the scope of ASC 740. The Company’s accounting policy is to analogize to IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, under IFRS Accounting Standards. Under IAS 20, once it is reasonably assured that the entity will comply with the conditions of the grant, the grant money should be recognized on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognizes the related expenses or losses for which the grant money is intended to compensate. The Company recognizes grants once it is probable that both of the following conditions will be met: (1) the Company is eligible to receive the grant and (2) the Company is able to comply with the relevant conditions of the grant.
The PTC is recorded as the applicable items are produced and sold. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized PTC of $109 and $953 as a reduction of cost of goods sold on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss), respectively. As of September 30, 2023, grant receivable related to the PTC in the amount of $953 is recorded in on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

2021 Convertible Notes Payable – Related Party
On July 6, 2021, the Company entered into an investment agreement with Spring Creek Capital, LLC, a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of Koch Industries, Inc. The investment agreement provides for the issuance and sale to Koch Industries of the 2021 Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000. The maturity date of the 2021 Convertible Notes is June 30, 2026, subject to earlier conversion, redemption, or repurchase.
See Note 14, Fair Value Measurement for the assumptions used to determine the fair value of the embedded derivative as of September 30, 2023 and as of December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the embedded conversion feature was $786 and $918, respectively. The gain (loss) from the change in fair value of the embedded derivative conversion feature for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $3,190 and $(369) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $248 and $11,304, respectively.
Interest expense recognized on the 2021 Convertible Notes is as follows:

The Company is obligated to repay all contractual interest attributable to the 2021 Convertible Notes in-kind on a semi-annual basis, in accordance with the terms under the Senior Secured Term Loan. Therefore, as of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, interest payable attributable to the 2021 Convertible Notes was $1,686 and $0, respectively.
AFG Convertible Notes - Related Party
On January 18, 2023, the Company entered into the Investment Agreement with the Purchasers relating to the issuance and sale to the Purchasers of $13,750 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s AFG Convertible Notes.
Contractual Interest Rates - The AFG Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 26.5% per annum, which is entirely paid-in-kind. All interest payments are made through an increase in the principal amount of the outstanding AFG Convertible Notes or through the issuance of additional notes (such interest is referred to herein as “PIK Interest”). Interest on the AFG Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 30, commencing on June 30, 2023. It is expected that the Notes will mature on June 30, 2026, subject to earlier conversion, redemption or repurchase.

12. Borrowings (cont.)
Conversion Rights - The AFG Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holder (the “Conversion Option”) at any time until the business day prior to the maturity date, including in connection with a redemption by the Company. The AFG Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, based on an initial conversion price of approximately $1.67 per share subject to customary anti-dilution and other adjustments. The Company has the right to settle conversions in shares of common stock, cash, or any combination thereof.
Optional Redemption - On or after June 30, 2024, provided that the Company has obtained stockholder approval, the AFG Convertible Notes are redeemable by the Company in the event that the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides the redemption notice. The redemption price will be equal to the then current principal amount of the AFG Convertible Notes (inclusive of all PIK Interest), plus the aggregate amount of all interest payments on the AFG Convertible Notes that the holders of the AFG Convertible Notes to be redeemed would have been entitled to receive had the AFG Convertible Notes remained outstanding to the maturity date.
Contingent Redemption - With certain exceptions, upon the occurrence of certain events and fundamental changes described in the AFG Convertible Notes Agreement, the holders of the AFG Convertible Notes may require that the Company repurchase all or part of the principal amount of the AFG Convertible Notes at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount of the AFG Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Embedded Derivative - The Conversion Option includes an exercise contingency, which requires the Company to obtain shareholder approval for conversions subject to the Exchange Cap. If shareholder approval is not obtained, following commercially reasonable efforts, the Company will be required to settle the conversion in excess of the Exchange Cap in cash. Since settlement in cash may be required in absence of shareholder approval, the embedded conversion feature fails the equity classification guidance in ASC 815 and is thus precluded from being classified in equity. Therefore, the embedded conversion feature is required to be bifurcated from the AFG Convertible Notes and accounted for at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
The embedded derivative is presented on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as a component of Convertible notes payable - related party. The fair value of the embedded derivative was $14,583 at September 30, 2023. The gain (loss) from the change in fair value of the embedded derivative for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 amounted to $24,208 and $(8,132), respectively. See Note 14, Fair Value Measurement for the assumptions used to determine the fair value of the embedded derivative as of September 30, 2023 and as of the date of issuance.
The fair value of the AFG Convertible Notes at issuance was $16,623, which was greater than the proceeds received. The Company recorded the difference of $2,873 as interest expense on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Senior Secured Term Loan
On July 29, 2022, the Company entered into a $100,000 Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement with Atlas Credit Partners (ACP) Post Oak Credit I LLC., as administrative agent for the lenders and collateral agent for the secured parties. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had total borrowings of $100,000 under the Senior Secured Term Loan.
The Senior Secured Term Loan is scheduled to mature on the earlier of (i) July 29, 2026, and (ii) 91 days prior to the current maturity date of the 2021 Convertible Notes of June 30, 2026. The Company has the right at any time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part in an amount of not less than $500.
The outstanding principal balance of the Senior Secured Term Loan bears interest, at the applicable margin plus, at the Company’s election, either (i) the benchmark secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), which is a per annum rate equal to (y) the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the agreement) plus 0.2616%, or (ii) the alternate base rate (“ABR”), which is a per annum rate equal to the greatest of (x) the Prime Rate (as defined in the agreement), (y) the NYFRB Rate (as defined in the agreement) plus 0.5% and (z) the SOFR. The applicable margin under the Credit Agreement is 8.5% per annum with respect to SOFR loans, and 7.5% per annum with respect to ABR loans. Interest on the Senior Secured Term Loan accrues at a variable interest rate, and interest payments are due quarterly. The Company may elect to convert SOFR Loans to ABR (and ABR Loans to SOFR). As of September 30, 2023, the interest rate in effect for the Senior Secured Term Loan for the third quarter of 2023 interest payment was 14.00%.
Any repayment of principal prior to the second anniversary of the issuance date is subject to a call premium. The call premium is equal to the present value of all interest payments due through June 30, 2024, calculated using a discount rate equal to the applicable treasury rate as of the repayment date plus 50 basis points. The Company deemed that the fair value of the embedded derivative features which qualify for bifurcation was de minimis.

12. Borrowings (cont.)
Concurrently, the Company entered into a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement which secures and guarantees the Senior Secured Term Loan with substantially all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, other than the Company’s equity interests in Hi-Power and assets of Hi-Power. Additionally, interest is required to be escrowed in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the four immediately following interest payments owed on the Loans which was $11,652 at September 30, 2023. This escrowed and restricted cash is presented on a separate line item on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as long-term restricted cash.
The agreements also contain customary affirmative and negative covenants. They limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur indebtedness, make restricted payments, including cash dividends on its common stock, make certain investments, loans and advances, enter into mergers and acquisitions, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of its assets, enter into transactions with its affiliates and engage in sale and leaseback transactions, among other restrictions. Furthermore, the limitation on the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness also requires payment of principal and interest in kind on the 2021 Convertible Notes. While the Company was in compliance with this covenant as of September 30, 2023 and currently expects to remain in compliance as of December 31, 2023, absent the Company’s ability to secure additional outside capital, the Company may be unable to remain in compliance with this covenant beginning on March 31, 2024 and thereafter (see Note 1, Overview for further discussion).

Equipment Financing facility
The Company entered into an agreement on September 30, 2021 with Trinity Capital Inc. (“Trinity”) for a $25,000 equipment financing facility, the proceeds of which will be used to acquire certain manufacturing equipment, subject to Trinity’s approval. Each draw is executed under a separate payment schedule (a “Schedule”) that constitutes a separate financial instrument. The financing fees included in each Schedule are established through monthly payment factors determined by Trinity. Such monthly payment factors are based on the Prime Rate reported in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the first day of the month in which a Schedule is executed. The Company has drawn a portion of the facility as follows:

On September 30, 2022, the equipment facility’s unused commitment of $13,784 expired.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, total equipment financing debt outstanding was $6,467 and $8,577, respectively of which $3,211 and $2,872 are recorded as a current liability on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively. The Company recognized $265 and $190 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and $874 and $615 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 as interest expense attributable to the equipment financing agreement, respectively.
13. Warrants Liability - Related Party
The Company issued private placement warrants to purchase shares of common stock to the sponsor of B. Riley Principal Merger Corp. II (“BMRG”) in conjunction with its initial public offering in 2020 (the “IPO warrants”). As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, BMRG had 274,400 and 325,000 IPO warrants outstanding, respectively, with fair values of $114 and $78, respectively.
In April 2023, the Company issued 16,000,000 shares of common stock and 16,000,000 private placement warrants to purchase shares of common stock, and in May 2023, the Company issued another 3,601,980 shares of common stock and 3,601,980 private placement warrants to purchase shares of common stock. The proceeds from the April 2023 and May 2023 Transactions were $40,000, and $8,000, respectively. The fair value of the warrants and common stock for the April 2023 and May 2023 Transactions at issuance was $66,366 and $13,267, respectively, which was greater than the proceeds. As such, the Company recorded the excess as losses in the amounts of $26,366 and $5,267, respectively, as a component of (loss) gain on change in fair value of derivatives - related party in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
The warrants issued as part of the April 2023 Transaction and May 2023 Transaction (“April 2023 warrants” and “May 2023 warrants”, respectively) are classified as Level 3 financial instruments in the fair value hierarchy (refer to Note 15, Fair Value Measurement). As of September 30, 2023, the April 2023 and May 2023 warrants were outstanding with fair values of $18,415 and $4,425, respectively.
For all warrants in aggregate, the change in fair value for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 amounted to decreases in the liability of $34,406 and $6,677, respectively. The change in fair value for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 amounted to $(47) and $790, respectively. These changes have been recognized in (loss) gain on change in fair value of derivatives - related party in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
14. Fair Value Measurement
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, contract assets, accounts payable, warrants, convertible notes payable — related party, contract liabilities and long-term debt.
Accounting standards establish a hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Accounting standards require financial assets and liabilities to be classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and the exercise of this judgment may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, contract assets, contract liabilities and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Warrants Liabilities
The IPO warrants are classified as Level 2 financial instruments in the table above. They are valued on the basis of the quoted price of the Company’s public warrants, adjusted for insignificant difference between the public warrants and the private placement warrants.
The April 2023 warrants and May 2023 warrants are classified as Level 3 financial instruments in the table above. The Company estimated the fair value of the April 2023 warrants and May 2023 warrants using the Black-Scholes model at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates inputs such as the stock price of the Company, risk-free interest rate, volatility, and time to expiration. The volatility involves unobservable inputs classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of the April 2023 and May 2023 warrants are as follows:
April 2023 warrants | September 30, 2023 | April 12, 2023 | |||||||||

Embedded derivatives
The Company estimated the fair value of the embedded conversion features using a binomial lattice model at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates inputs such as the stock price of the Company, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, the effective debt yield and expected volatility. The effective debt yield and volatility involve unobservable inputs classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities are as follows:

15. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Commitments
The Company has lease commitments under lease agreements. As of September 30, 2023, future lease payments amounted to $5,736.
Minimum Volume Commitment
In June 2022, the Company entered into a long-term supply agreement with a minimum volume commitment with a third party, which provides services to process certain raw materials. Any purchase order issued under this supply agreement will be non-cancellable. To the extent the Company fails to order the guaranteed minimum volume defined in the contract at the end of the term, the Company is required to pay the counterparty an amount equal to the shortfall, if any, multiplied by a fee. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had open purchase commitments of $148 under this agreement. The Company believes it will meet the minimum volume commitment and no shortfall penalty has been accrued as of as of September 30, 2023.
Legal Proceedings
Delaware Section 205 Petition
On November 12, 2020, BMRG, the predecessor to the Company, held a special meeting of stockholders (the “BMRG Special Meeting”) to approve certain matters relating to the business combination between BMRG and Eos Energy Storage LLC.
One of these matters was a proposal to amend and restate BMRG’s certificate of incorporation in order to, among other things, increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 125,000,000 shares of common stock, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 25,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, and to reclassify all Class A common stock and Class B common stock as a single class of common stock (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”). The Charter Amendment Proposal was approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock of BMRG as of the record date for the BMRG Special Meeting, voting together as a single class, although voting records indicate that a majority of each of the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock also approved the Charter Amendment Proposal. After the BMRG Special Meeting, BMRG and Eos Energy Storage LLC closed the business combination and the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended to give effect to the Charter Amendment Proposal, became effective.

15. Commitments and Contingencies (cont.)
A recent ruling by the Delaware Court of Chancery introduced uncertainty as to whether Section 242(b)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) would have required the Charter Amendment Proposal to be approved by separate votes of the majority of BMRG’s then-outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock. To resolve potential uncertainty with respect to the Company’s capital structure, the Company filed a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery under Section 205 of the DGCL to seek validation of the Charter Amendment Proposal. Section 205 of the DGCL permits the Court of Chancery, in its discretion, to ratify and validate potentially defective corporate acts.
On February 27, 2023, the Court of Chancery approved the Company’s request for relief and entered an order under Section 205 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (1) declaring the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”), including the filing and effectiveness thereof, as validated and effective retroactive to the date of its filing with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on November 16, 2020, and all amendments effected thereby and (2) ordering that the Company’s securities (and the issuance of the securities) described in the Petition and any other securities issued in reliance on the validity of the Charter are validated and declared effective, each as of the original issuance dates.
Class Action Complaints
On March 8, 2023, Plaintiff Richard Delman filed a class action complaint (the “March Complaint”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The March Complaint names certain of the Company’s former directors as defendants. Neither the Company nor Eos Energy Storage LLC was named as a defendant in the March Complaint, but each was identified as a relevant non-party and the Company owes certain indemnification obligations relating to the lawsuit to the Company’s former directors. Although the Company is unable to predict the final outcome or estimate a potential range of loss at this stage of the proceedings, the Company accrued $722 for the probable loss included in accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023.
On August 1, 2023, a class action complaint was filed against the Company, its Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer, and its former Chief Financial Officer (the “August Complaint”) in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey. The August Complaint asserts violations of the federal securities laws in connection with statements and alleged omissions relating to the Company’s business, prospects and reported backlog. The Company believes the August Complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against this action.
16. Stock-Based Compensation
Our stock-based compensation expense is associated with restricted stock units (“RSU”s) and stock options. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the award vesting term. Stock options generally have a term of to ten years and vest over periods ranging from three months to five years. RSUs generally vest over periods from to four years. For awards with performance conditions, stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis based on management’s estimation of achievement of performance conditions. The estimated performance conditions primarily relate to achievement of sales and financing targets. In June 2023, the Company modified 550,000 performance-based stock options that were issued in June 2022 and December 2022 by extending the period to meet certain performance conditions. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, all performance conditions were met for these 550,000 options, therefore accelerating the vesting and respective expense.
Stock-based compensation expense included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) was as follows:

16. Stock-Based Compensation (cont.)
The stock compensation expense has been recorded in cost of goods sold, research and development expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses.
As of September 30, 2023, total unrecognized compensation expense was $18,489 of which $17,860 was attributable to unvested RSUs and $629 was attributable to unvested stock options. Compensation expense for these unvested awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 0.4 years for stock options and 2.2 years for RSUs.
17. Income Taxes
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, income tax expense was $13 and $25, respectively, related to taxable earnings from the Company’s foreign operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, income tax expense was $110 and $45, respectively. The income tax expense differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% to the loss before income taxes. This is due to non-taxable income, foreign operations, and pre-tax losses for which no tax benefit can be recognized for U.S. income tax purposes.
The Company estimates and applies the annual effective tax rate to its ordinary earnings each interim period. Any significant unusual or infrequent items, if any, are not included in the estimation of the annual effective tax rate. Rather, these items and their related income tax expense are separately stated in the interim period in which they occur. The quarterly estimate of the annual effective tax rate and related tax expense is subject to variation due to a multitude of factors. Factors may include, but are not limited to, the inability to accurately predict the Company’s pre-tax and taxable income and loss.
At each balance sheet date, management assesses the likelihood that the Company will be able to realize its deferred tax assets. Management considered all available positive and negative evidence in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. The realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character and in the appropriate taxing jurisdiction during the future periods in which the related temporary differences become deductible. Management has determined that it is unlikely that the Company will be able to utilize its U.S. deferred tax assets at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 due to cumulative losses. Therefore, the Company has a valuation allowance against its net U.S. deferred tax assets.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has unrecognized tax benefits associated with uncertain tax positions that, if recognized, would not affect the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations. The Company is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction, and none of the uncertain tax positions are expected to reverse within the next 12 months.
The Company files income tax returns in U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions, as well as Italy and India. The open tax years for federal returns are 2019 and forward, and open tax years for state returns are generally 2018 and forward. In addition, net operating losses generated in closed years and utilized in open years are subject to adjustment by the tax authorities.
On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 into law. There are two major corporate tax provisions included in the Act. In general, the IRA creates a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) on any corporation that has (or has had) average annual “adjusted financial statement income” for a three-year period preceding the tax year that exceeds $1 billion. The CAMT is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. The IRA also imposes on publicly traded U.S. corporations a 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of their stock. The excise tax is effective for stock repurchases after December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect the aforementioned provisions in the IRA to have any material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In addition to the CAMT discussed above, the IRA has production tax credits that are discussed in Note 10, Government Grants.

19. Earnings Per Share (cont.)
Basic net earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted EPS is computed using the treasury stock method for warrants, stock options, and restricted stock units; and the if-converted method for convertible notes.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 | ||||||||
Public and private placement warrants | 7,326,654 | |||||||

Since the Company incurred a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as well as the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the potential dilutive shares from stock options, restricted stock units, warrants, and Convertible Notes were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented. Therefore, basic and diluted EPS are computed using the same number of weighted-average shares for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as well as the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as well as the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, including the financial statements and notes thereto.
Overview
The Company offers an innovative Znyth™ aqueous zinc battery energy storage system designed to provide the operating flexibility to manage increased grid complexity deriving from an overall increase in renewable energy generation and a congested grid coming from an increase in electricity demand growth. The Company’s battery energy storage system is based on a chemistry with accessible non-precious earth components in a durable, safe, scalable and sustainable design that delivers results in a wide variety of temperatures and conditions. Manufactured in the United States, the Company’s battery energy storage system is the core of the Company’s innovative systems that today provide utilities, independent power producers, renewables developers, and C&I customers with a reliable energy storage alternative for 3- to 12-hour discharge durations. The Company’s innovative spirit extends to its manufacturing strategy, which includes proprietary equipment and processes that allow the Company to scale quickly and with a lower capital intensity than other similar technologies. The Company believes its technology will continue to reduce cost and improve the operating efficiency and competitiveness of its battery energy storage systems.
The Company’s growth strategy contemplates increasing sales of battery energy storage systems and related software and services through a direct sales team and sales channel partners. The Company’s current and target customers include utilities, project developers, independent power producers and commercial and industrial companies.
In addition to battery energy storage systems, the Company currently offers: (a) a Battery Management System, a remote asset monitoring capability and service to track the performance and health of the Company’s battery energy storage system and to proactively identify future system performance issues through predictive analytics; (b) project management services to ensure the process of implementing the Company’s battery energy storage systems are coordinated in conjunction with the customer’s overall project plans; (c) commissioning services that ensure the customer’s installation of the battery energy storage system meets the performance expected by the customer; and (d) operations and maintenance plans to maintain optimal operating performance of the Company’s systems.
Strategy
The Company continues to invest in the design, development, and production of its next generation product, the Eos Z3™ battery, which builds off the same electrochemistry that has not fundamentally changed for the better part of a decade. The next generation Eos Z3 battery is designed to reduce cost and weight while improving manufacturability and system performance. The Eos Z3 battery is more cost-effective and has a simpler tub design with 50% fewer cells and 98% fewer welds per battery module, compared to Gen 2.3. The Company currently expects the Eos Z3 BESS will give customers the benefit of two times the energy density per square foot with the same safety and reliability as the previous generation battery. The Eos Z3 transition is fully underway, and the first semi-automated battery manufacturing line is installed and has started commercial production. Eos Z3 batteries utilize the same chemistry, which has over 3 million cycles, and incorporates a new mechanical design aimed at improving performance, lowering cost and increasing manufacturability. The Company delivered its first customer orders from this line in the third quarter. Eos’s progression to the Eos Z3 battery incorporates valuable lessons learned from the past 15 years into a new system design which the Company expects to result in efficiencies as it develops its new state-of-the-art manufacturing line.
The Company believes the simplicity, flexibility, and safety of our products are what the market desires. In addition, we understand that the Inflation Reduction Act gives us a competitive advantage with production tax credits (“PTC”) that can be claimed on battery components manufactured domestically, in addition to a tax credit for customers for projects that satisfy domestic content requirements.
Additionally, the Company plans to participate in a consortium of community leaders, universities, and supply chain partners in anticipation of pursuing grants made available under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law of 2021.

Regulatory Landscape
U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”)
In August 2023, the DOE issued a Conditional Commitment Letter to the Company for a loan of an aggregate principal amount of up to $398.6 million through the DOE’s Clean Energy Financing Program. The Conditional Commitment Letter follows an extensive technical, financial and commercial due diligence process by the DOE. If finalized, the loan is expected to fund 80% of eligible costs of the Company’s planned manufacturing expansion in Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania.
Eligible costs include capital expenditures and other costs associated with ramping up the manufacturing lines and facility, for example start-up and shakedown costs, as well as certain material and labor costs before efficiencies are met. The Company is working to finalize the loan documents with the DOE and to fulfill certain conditions precedent. Eos is spending eligible costs now that would be reimbursable at first funding.
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”)
The IRA features significant economic incentives for both energy storage customers and manufacturers for projects placed in service after December 31, 2022. One of the most important features of the IRA is that it offers a 10-year term tax credit, whereas historically similar industrial credits have been shorter in duration. Customers placing new energy storage facilities in service will be allowed to claim at least a thirty percent investment tax credit (“ITC”) under certain conditions. The IRA also offers an extra ten percent credit if the project is in an “energy community” and another ten percent credit if the project satisfies domestic content requirements, which will be set forth when the implementing regulations are finalized. The ten percent bonus for domestic content could represent a strategic advantage for the Company resulting from the Company’s near-sourcing and Made in America strategy, and we currently anticipate that projects utilizing Eos batteries will qualify for the bonus.
As discussed in Note 10, Government Grants to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, starting in 2023, there are Production Tax Credits under Internal Revenue Code 45X (“PTC”), that can be claimed on battery components manufactured in the U.S. and sold to U.S. or foreign customers. These tax credits available to manufacturers include a credit for ten percent of the cost incurred to make electrode active materials in addition to credits of $35 per kWh of capacity of battery cells and $10 per kWh of capacity of battery modules. These credits are cumulative, meaning that companies will be able to claim each of the available tax credits based on the battery components produced and sold through 2029, after which the PTC will begin to gradually phase down through 2032. These credits are expected to be a new source of cash flow for Eos in the future.

Cost of goods sold primarily consists of costs relating to direct labor, direct material and overhead that is directly tied to product manufacturing, engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”), project delivery, commissioning, and start-up test procedures. Other indirect costs included in cost of goods sold are manufacturing overhead such as manufacturing engineering, equipment maintenance, environmental health and safety, quality and production control procurement, transportation, logistics, depreciation and facility-related costs. As a nascent technology and a new manufacturing process that is early in its product lifecycle, the Company still faces significant costs associated with production start-up, commissioning of various components, modules, and subsystems and other related costs. The Company expects its cost of goods sold to exceed revenues in the near term as it continues to scale production and prepares battery energy storage systems delivered to customers to go-live.
Cost of goods sold decreased by $28.8 million, or 57% from $50.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $21.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Cost of goods sold decreased by $63.0 million, or 51% from $122.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $59.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Cost of goods sold decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 mainly due to lower BESS shipments in 2023, partially offset by increases in commissioning cost and idle factory costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity and Going Concern
As a growth company in the early commercialization stage of its lifecycle, Eos is subject to inherent risks and uncertainties associated with the development of an enterprise. In this regard, substantially all of the Company’s efforts to date have been devoted to the development and manufacturing of battery energy storage systems and complimentary products and services, recruitment of management and technical staff, deployment of capital to expand the Company’s operations to meet customer demand and raising capital to fund the Company’s development. As a result of these efforts, the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and expects to continue to incur such losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future until such time that the Company can reach a scale of profitability to sustain its operations.
In order to execute its development strategy, the Company has historically relied on outside capital through the issuance of equity, debt, and borrowings under financing arrangements (collectively “outside capital”) to fund its cost structure and expects to continue to rely on outside capital for the foreseeable future. While the Company believes it will eventually reach a scale of profitability to sustain its operations, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to achieve such profitability or do so in a manner that does not require its continued reliance on outside capital. Moreover, while the Company has historically been successful in raising outside capital, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to continue to obtain outside capital in the future or do so on terms that are acceptable to the Company.
As of the date the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued (the “issuance date”), management evaluated the significance of the following negative financial conditions in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 205-40, Going Concern:
39
•Since its inception, the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash from operations in order to fund its development. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $188.3 million, incurred negative cash flows from operations of $107.6 million, and had an accumulated deficit of $834.6 million as of September 30, 2023.
•As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $58.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available to fund the Company’s operations, no additional borrowings available to fund its operations under pre-existing financing arrangements (see Note 12, Borrowings to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report) and working capital of $61.7 million, inclusive of $3.2 million of outstanding debt that is currently scheduled to mature within the next twelve months beyond the issuance date.
•While the Company has available capacity under certain pre-existing arrangements to issue shares of the Company’s common stock, including the at-the-market (“ATM”) offering program, (see Note 18, Shareholders’ Deficit) to aid in funding the Company’s operations, the Company’s ability to secure such funding is dependent upon certain conditions, such as investors’ willingness to purchase the Company’s common stock and at a price that is acceptable to the Company. Accordingly, as of the issuance date there is no assurance the Company will be able to secure funding under these pre-existing arrangements or on terms that are acceptable to the Company.
•Similarly, while the Company has historically been successful in raising additional outside capital to fund the Company’s operations, as of the issuance date no assurance can be provided the Company will be successful in obtaining additional outside capital or on terms that are acceptable to the Company. In this regard, the Company continues to progress through the Department of Energy (“DOE”) Loan Programs Office’s (“LPO”) process for its Title XVII loan. In August 2023, the DOE issued a Conditional Commitment Letter to the Company for a loan of an aggregate principal amount of up to $398.6 million through the DOE’s Clean Energy Financing Program. Certain technical, legal, and financial conditions must be met and due diligence to the satisfaction of the DOE must be completed before the DOE enters into definitive financing documents with the Company and funds the loan. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure such a loan or on terms that are acceptable to the Company.
•The Company is required to remain in compliance with a quarterly minimum financial liquidity covenant under its Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement (“Senior Secured Term Loan”). While the Company was in compliance with this covenant as of September 30, 2023, and expects to remain in compliance as of December 31, 2023, absent the Company’s ability to secure additional outside capital, the Company may be unable to remain in compliance with this covenant beginning on March 31, 2024 and thereafter. In the event the Company is unable to remain in compliance with the minimum financial liquidity covenant and the other nonfinancial covenants required by the Senior Secured Term Loan, and the Company is further unable to cure such noncompliance or secure a waiver, Atlas Credit Partners (ACP) Post Oak Credit I LLC may, at its discretion, exercise any and all of its existing rights and remedies, which may include, among other things, entering into a forbearance agreement with the Company, and/or asserting its rights in the Company’s assets securing the loan. Moreover, the Company’s other lenders may exercise similar rights and remedies under the cross-default provisions of their respective borrowing arrangements with the Company.
•Absent an ability to secure additional outside capital in the near term, the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months beyond the issuance date.
•In the event the Company’s ongoing efforts to raise additional outside capital prove unsuccessful, management will be required to seek other strategic alternatives, which may include, among others, a significant curtailment in the Company’s operations, a sale of certain of the Company’s assets, a sale of the entire Company to strategic or financial investors, and/or allowing the Company to become insolvent.
These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and settle liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Financing Arrangements
The Company has historically relied on outside capital to fund its cost structure and expects this reliance to continue for the foreseeable future until the Company reaches profitability through its planned revenue generating activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company closed on the following capital transactions:
•On January 18, 2023, the Company raised $13.8 million from the issuance of the AFG Convertible Notes, which mature in June 2026. See Note 12, Borrowings to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further discussion.
40
•In April 2023, the Company issued 16,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $2.50 per share in a registered direct offering. The Company also issued in a concurrent private placement unregistered warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 16,000,000 shares of common stock. The gross proceeds to the Company from the offering were $40.0 million, before deducting advisory fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company.
•In May 2023, the Company issued 3,601,980 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $2.221 per share in a registered direct offering. The Company also issued in a concurrent private placement unregistered warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,601,980 shares of common stock. The gross proceeds to the Company from the offering were $8.0 million, before deducting advisory fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company.
•For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, total funds raised under the SEPA, inclusive of net proceeds received from the Yorkville Convertible Promissory Notes, were $35.6 million. See Note 18, Shareholders' Deficit to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further discussion.
•Under the ATM offering program, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold 28,938,944 shares raising proceeds of $81.9 million, net of fees paid to Cowen, at an average selling price of $2.74 per share, included in the condensed consolidated statement of shareholders' equity.
Capital Expenditures
The Company expects capital expenditures and working capital requirements to increase as it seeks to execute its growth strategy. Total capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 were $21.2 million and $18.8 million, respectively. We anticipate the remainder of 2023 spending to be used primarily for additional equipment, automation, and other infrastructure to expand the Company’s capacity to meet customer demand. The increase in capital expenditures was primarily driven by investment in the Eos Z3™ state of the art manufacturing line. The Company’s capital expenditure and working capital requirements in the foreseeable future may change depending on many factors, including but not limited to: equipment requirements to support the next generation(s) of products, growth in customer backlog, the Company’s operating results and its ability to secure funding, and any adjustments to the Company’s operating plan necessary to respond to industry conditions, competition or unexpected events.
Discussion and Analysis of Cash Flows
The Company relies heavily on private placement of convertible notes, term loans, equipment financing and issuance of common stock. Our short-term working capital needs are primarily related to funding of debt interest payments, repayment of debt principal, product manufacturing, research and development, and general corporate expenses. The Company’s long-term working capital needs are primarily related to repayment of long-term debt obligations and capital expenses for capacity expansion and maintenance, equipment upgrades and repair of equipment. We have taken steps to conserve working capital and reduce expenses to better manage cash outflows.
The following table summarizes the Company’s cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the periods presented.

41
Net cash used in operating activities of $107.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by a net loss of $188.3 million, adjusted for non-cash items of $89.5 million, primarily related to write-down of property, plant and equipment, stock compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, non-cash interest expense, and changes in fair value of derivatives. The net cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities was $8.7 million, primarily driven by decrease in accounts payable of $17.8 million and increase in vendor deposits of $4.0 million, partially offset by an increase in accrued expenses of $12.3 million.
Net cash used in operating activities was $159.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily driven by a net loss of $173.2 million, adjusted for non-cash items of $14.4 million, primarily related to stock compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, and changes in fair value of derivatives. The net cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities was $0.3 million, primarily driven by decrease in notes payable of $19.6 million and increase in inventory of $10.2 million, partially offset by increases in accounts payable of $22.0 million and accrued expenses of $5.9 million, and a decrease in vendor deposits of $4.0 million.
Cash flows from investing activities:
Net cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were composed of payments made for purchases of property, plant and equipment of $21.2 million.
Net cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were primarily composed of payments made for purchases of property, plant and equipment of $18.8 million and notes receivable advanced to customers of $0.3 million.
Cash flows from financing activities:
Net cash provided by financing activities was $170.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This was primarily due to the net proceeds received from the Yorkville Convertible Promissory Notes and AFG Convertible Notes of $48.1 million and from the issuance of common stock and warrants of $131.1 million. The proceeds were partially offset by equity issuance costs of $2.1 million, debt issuance costs related to the Yorkville Convertible Promissory Notes, AFG Convertible Notes and Senior Secured Term Loan of $4.2 million, payments on the equipment financing facility of $2.1 million and $0.6 million for share repurchases from employees for tax withholding purposes.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $123.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to the net proceeds from the following transactions: Senior Secured Term Loan of $92.8 million, issuance of common stock of $34.1 million, issuance of convertible notes of $7.2 million, and an increase in the equipment financing facility of $4.2 million. The proceeds were partially offset by debt issuance costs related of $12.7 million, payments on the equipment financing facility of $1.2 million and payment for share repurchases from employees for tax withholding purposes of $0.9 million.
Contractual Obligations
The Company has certain obligations and commitments to make future payments under contracts. As of September 30, 2023, this is comprised of the following:

Critical Accounting Estimates
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). In preparing the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes assumptions, judgments, and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management regularly reevaluates assumptions, judgments, and estimates. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Critical accounting estimates are those estimates that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We have critical accounting estimates in the areas of warranty liability and financial instruments that are classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, as discussed further below.
Warranty Liability
The Company generally provides a standard warranty for a period of two years. We also provide extended warranties and performance guarantees, which are identified as separate performance obligations in the Company's contracts with customers. We accrue warranty reserves at the time of recording the sale. Warranty reserves include management’s best estimate of the projected costs to repair or to replace any items under warranty, which is based on various factors including actual claim data to date, results of lab testing, factory quality data, and field monitoring. Due to limited claim experience since commercialization of our product, and the potential for variability in these underlying factors, the difference between our estimated costs and our actual costs could be material to our consolidated financial statements. If actual product failure rates or the frequency or severity of reported claims differ from our estimates, we may be required to revise our estimated warranty liability. We will also update actual warranty experience to determine warranty reserves as such experience becomes available. We review our reserves at least quarterly, seeking to ensure that our accruals are adequate in meeting expected future warranty obligations, and we will adjust our estimates as needed. Initial warranty data can be limited at the early stage in the commercialization of our products and, the adjustments that we record may be material. Thus, it is likely that as we sell additional BESS, we will acquire additional information on the projected costs to repair or replace items under warranty and may need to make additional adjustments. See Note 9, Accrued Expenses to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Warrants Liability
The Company estimated the fair value of the April 2023 warrants and May 2023 warrants using the Black-Scholes model at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates inputs such as the stock price of the Company, risk-free interest rate, volatility, and time to expiration. The volatility involves unobservable inputs classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 14, Fair Value Measurements to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further discussion. The sensitivity of the fair value calculation to this assumption could create materially different results under different conditions or using different assumptions.
Convertible Notes and Embedded Derivatives
The Company estimated the fair value of the embedded conversion features in the 2021 Convertible Notes and the AFG Convertible Notes using a binomial lattice model at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates inputs such as the stock price of the Company, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, the effective debt yield and expected volatility. The effective debt yield and volatility involve unobservable inputs classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 14, Fair Value Measurements to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further discussion. The sensitivity of the fair value calculation to these methods, assumptions, and estimates included could create materially different results under different conditions or using different assumptions.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes in the Company’s market risk exposures for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to those discussed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, and consistent with the evaluations previously reported in prior periods, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2023 because of material weaknesses resulting from lack of a formalized internal control framework in accordance with COSO, inadequate segregation of duties in the financial reporting process, lack of review and approval of journal entries, and a lack of management review controls.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s 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 controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including its CEO and its CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In light of these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses, reconciliations, and other post-closing procedures to determine that the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Based on this review, management concluded that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the most recent quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Part II - Other information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of the Company’s operations. While the outcomes of these types of claims are uncertain, management does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
As disclosed in Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, on August 1, 2023, a class action complaint was filed against the Company, its Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer, and its former Chief Financial Officer (the “August Complaint”) in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey. The August Complaint asserts violations of the federal securities laws in connection with statements and alleged omissions relating to the Company’s business, prospects and reported backlog. The Company believes the August Complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against this action.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no additional material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2023. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
