EXPLANATORY NOTE
On July 16, 2021, our predecessor Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“DCRB”), consummated the previously announced business combination with Hyzon Motors, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Hyzon”), pursuant to which DCRB Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of DCRB (“Merger Sub”) merged with and into Legacy Hyzon, with Legacy Hyzon surviving the merger (the “Merger”, and together with the related transactions, the “Business Combination”). Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Legacy Hyzon became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of DCRB, and DCRB was renamed Hyzon Motors, Inc. (“New Hyzon” or “Hyzon”). Unless stated otherwise, this report contains information about DCRB before the Business Combination. References to the “Company” in this report refer to DCRB before the consummation of the Business Combination or New Hyzon after the Business Combination, as the context suggests.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations
Organization and General
Silver Run Acquisition Corporation III was incorporated in Delaware on September 7, 2017. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Initial Business Combination”). The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the “Securities Act,” as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). On August 18, 2020, the Company changed its name from Silver Run Acquisition Corporation III to Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”
o
r “DCRB”). Following the consummation of the Business Combination on July 16, 2021, DCRB changed its name to Hyzon Motors Inc. At June 30, 2021, the Company had not commenced an
y
operations. All activity through June 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, as well as the identification and evaluation of prospective acquisition targets for an Initial Business Combination and ongoing administrative and compliance matters. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of its Initial Business Combination, at the earliest which is discussed in Note 8. The Company will generate non-operating
income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The registration statement for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective on October 19, 2020. On October 22, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 22,572,502 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), which includes the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 2,572,502 units (the “Over-allotment Units”) on November 12, 2020, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $225,725,020, which is described in Note 3.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private sale of 6,514,500 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), including 514,500 warrants as a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option on November 12, 2020, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”), the Company’s independent directors and an affiliate of the Company’s chief executive officer, generating gross proceeds of $6,514,500, which is described in Note 4.
Transaction costs amounted to $12,969,969, consisting of $4,514,500 of underwriting fees, $7,900,376 of deferred underwriting fees and $555,093 of
other offering costs. In addition, at June 30, 2021, there was $167,284 of cash held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) available for working capital purposes, but the Company has access to working capital loans from the Sponsor, which is described in Note 4.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on October 22, 2020 and the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option on November 12, 2020, an amount of $225,725,020 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States. The proceeds held in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds that meet certain conditions under Rule
2a-7
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and that invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. Funds will remain in the Trust Account until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account proceeds as described below. The remaining proceeds outside the Trust Account may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation prior to the Business Combination provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earlier of:
pre-Initial
Business Combination activity; and (iii) the redemption of 100% of the Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (subject to the requirements of law). The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders.5
Dearbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Initial Business Combination
The following description relates to the Company prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an Initial Business Combination. The Initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the Initial Business Combination.
The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination, will either (i) seek stockholder approval of the Initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Initial Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable, or (ii) provide stockholders with the opportunity to sell their Public Shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the Initial Business Combination or will allow stockholders to sell their Public Shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval, unless a vote is required by law or under the Nasdaq Capital Market rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete its Initial Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Initial Business Combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related Initial Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Initial Business Combination.
If the Company holds a stockholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with an Initial Business Combination, a public stockholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable. As a result, such shares of Class A common stock will be recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”(“ASC 480”).
Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation prior to the Business Combination, if the Company is unable to complete
per-share
price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholder’s rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor and the Company’s independent directors and an affiliate of the Company’s chief executive officer have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares (as defined below) held by them if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within 24 months of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates acquires shares of Class A common stock in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the prescribed time period.6
Dearbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after an Initial Business Combination, the Company’s stockholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The Company’s stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock, except that the Company will provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, upon the completion of the Initial Business Combination, subject to the limitations described herein.
Going Concern and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $167,284, but the Company h
a
access to working capital loans from the Sponsor, which is described in Note 4, to partially cover the working capital deficit of $6.9 million as of June 30, 2021. This excludes interest income of approximately $6,706 from the Company’s investment in the Trust Account which is available to the Company for tax obligations. Through June 30, 2021, the Company has not withdrawn any interest income from the Trust Account td
o
pay its income and franchise taxes. Prior to the consummation of an Initial Business Combination (which was consummated on July 16, 2021, as discussed in Note 8), the Company used funds held outside of the Trust Account for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Initial Business Combination.
As discussed in Note 8, the Company consummated a business combination that was approved by shareholders of the Company on July 16, 2021.

Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or any future period.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in the Company’s periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a
non-binding
advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to
non-emerging
growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Amendment No. 1 of the Form
10-K/A
filed by the Company with the SEC on May 13, 2021. Net Loss Per Common Share
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares of common stock subject to forfeiture, plus, to the extent dilutive, the incremental number of shares of common stock to settle warrants, as calculated using the treasury stock method. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021 the Company has not considered the effect of warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for the periods.
The Company’s statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per share for common stock in a manner similar to the
two-class
method of income per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted for Class A redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account (net of applicable franchise and income taxes for the periods ended June 30, 2021), by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable common stock outstanding for the period or since original issuance. Net loss per common share, basic and diluted for Class B non-redeemable
common stock is calculated by dividing the net income (loss), less income attributable to Class A redeemable common stock, by the weighted average number of Class B non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period. Class B Non-redeemable
common stock includes the Founder Shares (as defined below) as these shares do not have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the Trust Account. 8

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject th
e
Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Warrant Liabilities
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional
paid-in
capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash
gain or loss on the statements of operations. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the Public Warrant liabilities at the date of the Initial Public Offering and then the unadjusted, quoted price listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market for each subsequent reporting period, and utilizes a Black-Scholes model to value the Private Warrant liabilities that are categorized within Level 3 at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the Statements of Operations (see Note 7).9
Dearbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, approximates the carrying amounts represented in the
condensed
consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short term nature. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The valuation hierarchy is composed of three levels. The classification within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. See Note 7 for the levels within the valuation hierarchy, as well as additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these Condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s 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 these financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash includes amounts held at banks with an original maturity of less than three months. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company held $167,284 and $0, respectively, in cash. The Company held no cash equivalents at June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
Common stock subject to possible redemption
The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2021 and December 31,
Class
A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Offering Costs
Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $11,555,093 upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. In connection with the sale of the Over-allotment Units, the Company incurred an additional $514,500 of underwriting fees and $900,376 of deferred underwriting fees.
The Company complies with the requirements of ASC and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A—Expenses of Offering. Offering costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity are recorded as a reduction in equity. Offering costs for equity contracts that are classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately. The Company recorded $12,315,313 of offering costs as a reduction of equity in connection with the Public Shares included in the Units. The Company immediately expensed $654,656 of offering costs in connection with the Public Warrants included in the Units that were classified as liabilities.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no
deferred offering costs on the accompanying
condensed
consolidated balance sheets. Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between these financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to b
e
realized. FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits, deferred tax assets or valuations against them as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No
amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties for the three months ended and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.
The Company had no tax liability as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 3 — Public Offering
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 22,572,502 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, which includes the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 2,572,502 Over-allotment Units at $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and
one-half
of one Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6). Note 4 — Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
On September 12, 2017, the Sponsor purchased 11,500,000 shares of Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate price of $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share. As used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, “Founder Shares” shall be deemed to include the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion thereof. The Founder Shares are identical to the Public Shares except that the Founder Shares automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the Company’s Initial Business Combination and are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below. Holders of Founder Shares may also elect to convert their shares of Class B common stock into an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, subject to adjustment as provided above, at any time. On September 18, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to return 2,875,000 Founder Shares to the Company at no cost. In October 2020, the Sponsor agreed to return an additional 2,875,000 Founder Shares to the Company at no cost. The Sponsor and an affiliate of the Company’s chief executive officer agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 750,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters. The forfeiture would be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the Founder Shares will represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. As a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise their over-allotment option on November 12, 2020, 643,125 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture. The over-allotment option expired on December 3, 2020, resulting in the forfeiture of 106,875 Founder Shares to the Company at no cost.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Sponsor and the Company’s officers, directors and an affiliate of the Company’s chief executive officer have waived their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and any Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of an Initial Business Combination. If the Initial Business Combination is not completed within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and the Company’s officers, directors and an affiliate of the Company’s chief executive officer have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them.
The Company’s initial stockholders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the Initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the Initial Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any
30-trading
day period commencing at least 150 days after the Initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. Private Placement Warrants
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and the Company’s independent directors and an affiliate of the Company’s chief executive officer purchased 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,000,000. The Sponsor and an affiliate of the Company’s chief executive officer agreed to purchase up to an additional 600,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, or an aggregate additional $600,000, to the extent the underwriter’s over-allotment option was exercised in full. Simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the Over-allotment Units, the Sponsor and the affiliate of the Company’s chief executive officer purchased an additional 514,500 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of approximately $514,500 (see Note 2 for further information regarding the accounting treatment of the Private Placement Warrants).
Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to partially fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placement Warrants and all underlying securities will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be
non-redeemable
and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants or their permitted transferees. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers, directors and an affiliate of the Company’s chief executive officer have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination.
Registration Rights
Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreements entered into on October 19, 2020, the holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (as defined below), if any, are entitled to registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to shares of Class A common stock). These holders are entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Related Party Loans
On September 12, 2017, the Company and the Sponsor entered into a loan agreement, whereby the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan is
non-interest
bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2020 (as amended) or the completion of the Initial Public Offering (the “Maturity Date”). On September 13, 2017, the Company drew down $300,000 on this Note. On October 21, 2020, the Company paid back the Sponsor for the full amount of the outstanding Note. The Note is no longer available to the Company.
In addition to the Note, the Sponsor paid certain costs related to formation and offering for the Company. Costs in the amount of $219,022 were forgiven by the Sponsor in December 2019 and have been recorded within additional
paid-in
capital. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company owe
d
the Sponsor $3,375,977 and $1,324,257, respectively, for additional expenses paid on its behalf, of which $0 and $0 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively are related to the Working Capital Loans.
Related Party Note
On July 16, 2021, the Company and the Sponsor entered into a note agreement, whereby the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of $1,500,000 to cover working capital requirements. The note agreement c
o
nverted at the business combination date into 1,500,000 additional private placement warrants. Advance from Related Party
As of October 22, 2020, the Sponsor and affiliate of the Company’s chief executive officer advanced $600,000 to the Company to cover the purchase of additional Private Placement Warrants if the over-allotment is exercised in full. Simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the Over-allotment Units, the Company utilized the advance from the Sponsor and the affiliate of the Company’s chief executive officer to issue an additional 514,500 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant (see Note 2 for further information regarding the accounting treatment of the Private Placement Warrants). The over-allotment option expired on December 3, 2020, resulting in the return of $85,500 of the advancement not utilized. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no advances outstanding.
Administrative Support Agreement
The Company has agreed to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the Initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three months ended and six months ended June 30, 2021,
the Company
incurred
$30,000 and $60,000,
respectively, of monthly fees to the affiliate of the Sponsor, of which $60,000 remained outstanding at June 30, 2021. There were no such fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, and no amounts due at December 31, 2020.
Working Capital Loans
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an Initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes an Initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that an Initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. If the Sponsor makes any working capital loans, up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be converted into warrants of the post business combination entity at the price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $0 and $0 borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Risks and Uncertainties
The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact was not readily determinable as of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Note 6 — Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock
On October 19, 2020, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to, among other things, increase the number of authorized shares of Class A common stock from 200,000,000 to 250,000,000. The authorized common stock of the Company includes up to 250,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share and 20,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. If the Company enters into an Initial Business Combination, it may (depending on the terms of such an Initial Business Combination) be required to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock which the Company is authorized to issue at the same time as the Company’s stockholders vote on the Initial Business Combination to the extent the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with the Initial Business Combination. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock. At June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, there were 22,572,502 and 22,572,502 shares, respectively, of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, of which 17,410,551 and 17,521,688 shares, respectively, were subject to possible redemption. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 5,643,125 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding, which reflects that on September 18, 2020, October 7, 2020, October 8, 2020 and December 3, 2020, the Sponsor returned 2,875,000, 1,437,500, 1,437,500 and 106,875 Founder Shares, respectively, to the Company at no cost.
The Sponsor and an affiliate of the Company’s chief executive officer agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 750,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters. The forfeiture would be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the Founder Shares would represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. As a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, 106,875 Founder Shares were forfeited.

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Warrants
Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described in the prospectus for the Initial Public Offering. Only whole Warrants are exercisable. The Warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of an Initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, and will expire five years after the completion of the Initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation, as described in the prospectus for the Initial Public Offering.

• | 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination or, |
• | 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. |
provided in each case that we have an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the Warrant agreement).
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had not registered the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. However, the Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of an Initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at the Company’s option, require holders of the Public Warrants who exercise their Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will be required to use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
The Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of an Initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. On the exercise of any Warrant, the Warrant exercise price will be paid directly to the Company and not placed in the Trust Account.
Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants for cash (except as described in the prospectus for the Initial Public Offering with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
• | In whole and not in part; |
• | At a price of $0.01 per Warrant; |
• | Upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, referred to as the 30-day redemption period; and |
• | if, and only if, the last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrantholders. |
The Company will not redeem the Warrants for cash unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available throughout the
30-day
redemption period. If and when the Warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Except as described in the prospectus for the Initial Public Offering, none of the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants or their permitted transferees.
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described in the prospectus for the Initial Public Offering with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):
• | in whole and not in part; |
• | at a price of $0.10 per Warrant, provided that holders will be able to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares of Class A common stock determined by reference to the table set forth in the warrant agreement based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of the Company’s Class A common stock (as defined below) except as otherwise described in the warrant agreement; |
• | upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; |
• | if, and only if, the last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrantholders; and |
• | if the last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrantholders is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Warrants, as described above. |
The “fair market value” of the Company’s Class A common stock shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock for the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Warrants.
No fractional shares of Class A common stock will be issued upon redemption. If, upon redemption, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Class A common stock to be issued to the holder.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there
815-40.
The Warrant liabilities are initially measured at fair value upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and subsequently
of $6,824,865 and $7,163,449 re-measured
at each reporting period using a Monte-Carlo model. The Public Warrants were recorded as a liability at fair value. The Company recognized gains (losses) in connection with changes in the fair value of Warrant liabilities within change in fair value of Warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations during the three months ended and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants, and the common shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants are not, transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 7 — Fair Value Measurements
At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised
of $225,734,427
and $225,727,721, respectively, in money market funds which are invested in U.S. Treasury Securities. Through June 30, 2021, the Company has not withdrawn any interest earned on the Trust Account to pay its franchise and income tax obligations.
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring th
e
fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and
liabilities: Level 1:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:
Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the Public Warrant liabilities at the date of the Initial Public Offering and then the unadjusted, quoted price listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market for each subsequent reporting period, and utilizes a Black-Scholes model to value the Private Warrant liabilities that are categorized within Level 3 at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the Statements of Operations. The estimated fair value of the warrant liability on the Private Warrants is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a binomial options pricing model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury
zero-coupon
yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero. 17

Note 8 — Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of subsequent events through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. All subsequent events required to be disclosed are included in these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Business Combination
On July 16, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), we consummated the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to that certain business combination agreement, dated February 8, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), with Merger Sub and Legacy Hyzon, pursuant to which Merger Sub was merged with and into Legacy Hyzon, with Legacy Hyzon surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of DCRB. On the Closing Date, the DCRB changed its name from Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation to Hyzon Motors, Inc. (“New Hyzon”).
At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Legacy Hyzon’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Legacy Hyzon Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any shares of Legacy Hyzon Common Stock resulting from the conversion of the options to purchase outstanding shares of Legacy Hyzon Common Stock (“Ascent Option”), but excluding any shares of Legacy Hyzon Common Stock resulting from the conversion of Legacy Hyzon’s outstanding convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”)) was converted into the right to receive 1.7720 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Hyzon (“New Hyzon Class A Common Stock”) (the “Exchange Ratio”) and the contingent right to receive additional shares of New Hyzon Class A Common Stock as additional consideration upon the occurrence of certain triggering events (“Earnout Shares”). Additionally, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Legacy Hyzon.
Earnout
During the five-year period following the Closing Date (the “Earnout Period”), the Company will issue to eligible holders of securities of New Hyzon up to 23,250,000 Earnout Shares, in three tranches of 9,000,000, 9,000,000 and 5,250,000 Earnout Shares, respectively, upon the Company achieving $18, $20 or $35 as its last reported sales price per share for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) consecutive trading day period within the Earnout Period; provided, that in no event will the issuance of the 5,250,000 Earnout Shares occur prior to July 16, 2022, which is the one year anniversary of the date of the Closing Date.
PIPE Financing
On July 16, 2021, a number of purchasers (each, a “Subscriber”) purchased an aggregate of 35,500,000 shares of DCRB Class A Common Stock (the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $355,500,000 (the “PIPE Financing”), pursuant to separate subscription agreements (each, a “Subscription Agreement”) entered into on February 8, 2021. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, we gave certain registration rights to the Subscribers with respect to the PIPE shares. The purpose of the PIPE Financing was to raise additional capital for use by the combined company following the Closing Date. Concurrently with the closing of the PIPE Financing, the Convertible Notes automatically converted to approximately 5.02 million shares of New Hyzon Class A Common Stock.
In July 2021, the Sponsor transferred $1,332,715 of working capital loans to the Company to reimburse costs of an affiliate.

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in Item 1. of this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

We are a former blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On July 16, 2021, we consummated our Business Combination with Legacy Hyzon.
Recent Developments
Business Combination
On July 16, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), we consummated the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to that certain business combination agreement, dated February 8, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”),with Merger Sub and Legacy Hyzon, pursuant to which Merger Sub was merged with and into Legacy Hyzon, with Legacy Hyzon surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of DCRB. On the Closing Date, the DCRB changed its name from Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation to Hyzon Motors, Inc. (“New Hyzon”).
At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Legacy Hyzon’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Legacy Hyzon Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any shares of Legacy Hyzon Common Stock resulting from the conversion of the options to purchase outstanding shares of Legacy Hyzon Common Stock (“Ascent Option”), but excluding any shares of Legacy Hyzon Common Stock resulting from the conversion of Legacy Hyzon’s outstanding convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”)) was converted into the right to receive 1.7720 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Hyzon (“New Hyzon Class A Common Stock”) (the “Exchange Ratio”) and the contingent right to receive additional shares of New Hyzon Class A Common Stock as additional consideration upon the occurrence of certain triggering events (“Earnout Shares”).

Earnout
During the five-year period following the Closing Date (the “Earnout Period”), the Company will issue to eligible holders of securities of New Hyzon up to 23,250,000 Earnout Shares, in three tranches of 9,000,000, 9,000,000 and 5,250,000 Earnout Shares, respectively, upon the Company achieving $18, $20 or $35 as its last reported sales price per share for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) consecutive trading day period within the Earnout Period; provided, that in no event will the issuance of the 5,250,000 Earnout Shares occur prior to July 16, 2022, which is the one year anniversary of the date of the Closing Date.
19
PIPE Financing
On July 16, 2021, a number of purchasers (each, a “Subscriber”) purchased an aggregate of 35,500,000 shares of DCRB Class A Common Stock (the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $355,500,000 (the “PIPE Financing”), pursuant to separate subscription agreements (each, a “Subscription Agreement”) entered into on February 8, 2021. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, we gave certain registration rights to the Subscribers with respect to the PIPE shares. The purpose of the PIPE Financing was to raise additional capital for use by the combined company following the Closing Date. Concurrently with the closing of the PIPE Financing, the Convertible Notes automatically converted to approximately 5.02 million shares of New Hyzon Class A Common Stock.
Results of Operations
Prior to the completion of the Business Combination, we neither engaged in any significant operations nor generated any operating revenue. Our only activities from inception through the closing of the Business Combination related to our formation and the initial public offering, as well as due diligence costs incurred. As a result of the closing of the Business Combination, our business has substantially changed and is now that of New Hyzon. Accordingly, we expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public operating company.
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we had a net loss of approximately $1,000 which consisted of approximately $1,000 in general and administrative expenses.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of approximately $8.2 million, which consisted of approximately $1.4 million in general and administrative expenses, including due diligence costs incurred in the pursuit of our acquisition plans, $6.8 million due to the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities, offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in DCRB’s trust account with Continental Stock and Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”) of $3,000.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had a net loss of approximately $2,000 which consisted of approximately $2,000 in general and administrative expenses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of approximately $9.2 million, which consisted of approximately $2.1 million in general and administrative expenses, including due diligence costs incurred in the pursuit of our acquisition plans, $7.2 million due to the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities, offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $7,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Following the consummation of our initial public offering, our liquidity needs have been satisfied through the net proceeds of approximately $2.0 million from the sale of equity securities held outside of the Trust Account as well as a $1.5 million proceeds from a unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) issued by DCRB to Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) which was converted into warrants of New Hyzon at Closing.
In addition, in the short term and the long term, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors could have, but were not obligated to, loan us additional funds as may be required. As of June 30, 2020, $1.5 million was outstanding under the Note.
20
On February 8, 2021, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Merger Sub and Legacy Hyzon and on July 16, 2021, we closed the Business Combination. Approximately $20.89 million of funds held in the Trust Account were also used to fund the redemption of 2,089,323 shares of DCRB Class A Common Stock.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DCRB and its wholly owned subsidiary since its formation. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Basis of Presentation
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Warrant Liabilities
We account for the warrants issued in connection with our initial public offering in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) (“ASC 815”), under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as liabilities. As the warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the DCRB’s warrants are measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, , with changes in fair value recognized in the Statements of Operations in the period of change.

Impact of
COVID-19
We continue to evaluate the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on our financial position and/or results of operations, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the balance date. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on our financial statements.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we did not have any
off-balance
sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
JOBS Act
On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act and are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We elected to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for
non-emerging
growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. 21
As an “emerging growth company,” we are not required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of
non-emerging
growth public companies, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Public Offering or until we otherwise no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company.” Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule
12b-2
under the Exchange Act. As a result, pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K,
we are not required to provide the information required by this Item. Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules
13a-15
and 15d-15
under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of June 30, 2021 due solely to our restatement of our financial statements to reclassify our warrants as described under “Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements”. We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Due solely to the events that led to our restatement of our financial statements on Form
10-K/A
filed with the SEC on May 13, 2021 (the “Restatement”), management identified a material weakness in internal controls related to the accounting for Warrants issued in connection with our Public Offering, as described below under “Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements.” 22
In light of the Restatement of our financial statements, we enhanced our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. We have provided enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents, performed an analysis to ensure that our financial statements are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan continue to be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
On May 13, 2021, we revised our prior position on accounting for Warrants and restated our financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period ended December 31, 2020 to reclassify the Company’s warrants as described in the Restatement. However, the non-cash adjustments to the financial statements did not impact the amounts previously reported for our cash and cash equivalents, total assets, revenue or cash flows.

Legal Proceedings |
From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. Regardless of outcome, such proceeding or claims can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of resources and other factors and there can be no assurances that favorable outcomes will be obtained.
In connection with the Business Combination, certain of DCRB’s purported stockholders filed lawsuits against DCRB and its directors asserting claims for breaches of fiduciary duty: Index No. 652070/2021 (N.Y. Sup. Ct., N.Y. Cnty.); Case No. (Cal. Sup., San Mateo Cnty.). These complaints allege that the DCRB board members breached their fiduciary duties by in connection with the merger by allegedly agreeing to the transaction following an inadequate process and at an unfair price, and by allegedly disseminating inaccurate or incomplete information concerning the transaction. These complaints seek, among other things, injunctive relief and an award of attorneys’ fees. The defendants in these cases have not yet answered these complaints and we believe that these pending and threatened lawsuits are without merit.
