SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of presentation and use of estimates
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Security and Exchange Commission and U.S. generally accepted accounting
standards (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included
in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted from these interim financial
statements.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the period
ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 28, 2021
and as amended and filed with the SEC on August 16, 2021, which provides a more complete discussion of the Company’s accounting
policies and certain other information. In the opinion of the management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of financial results for
the interim periods presented. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
The results of operations for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2021.
The
financial information as of December 31, 2020 included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets is derived from the Group’s
audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Other
than the policies noted below, there have been no significant changes to the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of
the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and
2018.
Significant
accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s financial statements include allowance for doubtful accounts, provision for obsolete
inventories, impairment of long-lived assets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, product warranties, fair value measurement
of the convertible promissory notes, fair value measurement of warrant liability and share based compensation.
All
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Basis
of presentation and use of estimates-continued
On
July 23, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Tuscan Holdings Corp. (“Tuscan”), consummated the previously announced
merger with Microvast, Inc., a Delaware corporation, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”)
dated February 1, 2021, between Tuscan, Microvast, Inc. and TSCN Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”),
pursuant to which the Merger Sub merged with and into Microvast, Inc., with Microvast, Inc. surviving the merger (the “Merger,”
and, collectively with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Reverse Recapitalization”). As a result
of the Merger, Tuscan was renamed “Microvast Holdings, Inc.” The Merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization as
Microvast, Inc. was determined to be the accounting acquirer under Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards
Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”).
Please
refer to Note 3 “Reverse Recapitalization” for further details of the Merger.
Emerging
Growth Company
Pursuant
to the JOBS Act, an emerging growth company may adopt new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by FASB or the SEC either
(i) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to non-emerging growth companies or (ii) within the same time periods as private
companies. The Company intends to take advantage of the exemption for complying with new or revised accounting standards within the same
time periods as private companies. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information provided by other
public companies.
The
Company also intends to take advantage of some of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements of emerging growth companies pursuant
to the JOBS Act so long as the Company qualifies as an emerging growth company, including, but not limited to, an exemption from the
auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation,
and exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation and golden parachute payments.
Revenue
recognition
Nature
of Goods and Services
The
Group’s revenue consists primarily of sales of lithium batteries. The obligation of the Group is providing the electronic power
products. Revenue is recognized at the point of time when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer, in
an amount that reflects the consideration the Group expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services.

Disaggregation
of revenue
For
the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2021, the Group derived revenues of $23,945 and $31,792 from the Asia & Pacific region,
$6,446 and $4,908 from Europe and $362 and $194 from other geographic regions where the customers are located, respectively.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2021, the Group derived revenues of $42,632 and $73,360 from the Asia & Pacific region,
$16,376 and $11,466 from Europe and $392 and $378 from other geographic regions where the customers are located, respectively.
Contract
balances
Contract
balances include accounts receivable and advances from customers. Accounts receivable represent cash not received from customers and
are recorded when the rights to consideration is unconditional. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the best estimate of probable
losses inherent to the accounts receivable balance. Contract liabilities, recorded in advance from customers in the consolidated balance
sheet, represent payment received in advance or payment received related to a material right provided to a customer to acquire additional
goods or services at a discount in a future period. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2021, the Group recognized $13
and $60 of revenue previously included in advance from customers as of July 1, 2020 and July 1, 2021, respectively. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2020 and 2021, the Group recognized $459 and $1,381 of revenue previously included in advance from customers as of
January 1, 2020 and January 1, 2021, respectively, which consist of payments received in advance related to its sales of lithium batteries.
Share-based
compensation
Share-based
payment transactions with employees are measured based on the grant date fair value of the equity instrument and recognized as compensation
expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, with a corresponding impact reflected in additional paid-in capital.
For share-based awards granted with performance condition, the compensation cost is recognized when it is probable that the performance
condition will be achieved. The Company reassesses the probability of achieving the performance condition at the end of each reporting
date and records a cumulative catch-up adjustment for any changes to its assessment. For performance-based awards with a market condition,
such as awards based on total shareholder return (“TSR”), compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over
the estimated service period of the award, regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied. Forfeitures are recognized as they
occur. Liability-classified awards are remeasured at their fair-value-based measurement as of each reporting date until settlement.

Warrant
Liability
The Company accounts for warrants in accordance with the guidance contained
in ASC 815-40 under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. As the Private
Warrants (as defined below) meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the Company classifies the Private Warrants
as liabilities. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is
recognized in the condensed statements of operations. The Private Warrants are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the basis
of the quoted market price of Public Warrants.

The Merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization
under U.S. GAAP. This determination is primarily based on (1) Microvast, Inc.’s stockholders comprising a relative majority of
the voting power of the Company and having the ability to nominate the members of the Board, (2) Microvast, Inc.’s operations prior
to the acquisition comprising the only ongoing operations of the Company, and (3) Microvast, Inc.’s senior management comprising
a majority of the senior management of the Company. Under this method of accounting, Tuscan is treated as the “acquired”
company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the financial statements of the Company represent a continuation of the financial
statements of Microvast, Inc. with the Merger being treated as the equivalent of Microvast, Inc. issuing stock for the net assets of
Tuscan, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Tuscan are stated at historical costs, with no goodwill or other intangible
assets recorded and are consolidated with Microvast Inc.’s financial statements on the Closing Date. Operations prior to the Merger
are presented as those of Microvast, Inc. The shares and net loss per share available to holders of the Company’s Common Stock,
prior to the Merger, have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the Common Exchange Ratio established in the Merger Agreement.
In connection with the Merger, the Company raised
approximately $708.4 million of proceeds including the contribution of $281.7 million of cash held in Tuscan’s trust account
from its initial public offering, net of redemptions of Tuscan public stockholders of $0.9 million, and $482.5 million of cash
in connection with the PIPE financing. The total transaction costs was $58.3 million, consisting of banking, legal, and other professional
fees, among which $42.8 million was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital and the remaining $15.5 million was recorded
as expense by Tuscan immediately prior to the merger.
In connection with
the Merger, the Sponsor and related parties entered into the amended escrow agreement, pursuant to which 1,687,500 shares owned by the
Sponsor Group (“Escrow Shares”) are subject to cancellation on conditions that: (i) 50% of 1,687,500 shares shall be cancelled
if the last sale price of the Common Stock does not equal or exceed $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day
period prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing, and (ii) 50% of 1,687,500 shares shall be cancelled if the last sale price of the
Common Stock does not equal or exceed $15.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period prior to the fifth anniversary
of the Closing. In accordance with ASC 815-40, the Escrow Shares were indexed to the Common Stock and were classified as equity.

Warranty provisions are based upon
historical experience. Changes in provisions related to pre-existing legacy products were made based on actual claims and intensive
testing and analysis on the legacy products. In 2021, as a result of the increases in the repairing cost and frequency of claims
with respect to a legacy product sold in 2017 and 2018, the Company conducted intensive experiments and a root cause analysis, which
was completed in October 2021. The Company concluded that a component purchased from a supplier was not meeting the Company’s
performance standards. As a result, the Company expects that the impacted legacy products sold will need to be replaced before the
expiration of the warranty term. This reassessment resulted in a change in estimate for additional accrual of $34.1 million for such
legacy product sold. As the component was not incorporated into other products, no additional accrual was made to other existing
products sold. The Company is in negotiation with the supplier for compensation and will take legal action if necessary.

BANK BORROWINGS
The
Group entered into loan agreements and bank facilities with Chinese banks and a German bank.
The
original terms of the loans from Chinese banks range from 6 to 12 months and the interest rates range from 5.00% to 6.00% per annum.
As of September 30, 2021, the balance of the loans from Chinese bank was $13,191.
The
bank facility agreement with the German bank includes a $13.0 million (EUR11 million) 8-year maturity term loan and a $4.7 million (EUR4
million) revolving facility (“German Bank Facility Agreement”). The interest rate of the 8-year maturity term loan is EURIBOR
plus a margin rate determined by the financial leverage ratio of the Group. The $4.7 million (EUR4 million) revolving facility at 6.00%
annual interest, needs to be renewed every year (60 days in advance). During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Group drew
down the 8-year maturity term loan to the amount of $9,660. On October 1, 2021, the Company had entered into the termination agreement
with the German Bank to cancel the German Bank Facility Agreement. All outstanding amounts under the loan were repaid on October 8, 2021.

Convertible
Bonds issued to Huzhou Saiyuan
On
December 29, 2018, MPS signed an agreement with Huzhou Saiyuan, an entity established
by the local government, to issue convertible bonds to Huzhou Saiyuan for a total consideration of $87,776 (RMB600 million), of which
$29,259 (RMB200 million) was converted from the existing non-interest-bearing loan with Huzhou Saiyuan as of December 31, 2018. The Company
pledged its 12.39% equity holding over MPS to Huzhou Saiyuan to facilitate the issuance of convertible bonds. Besides the previous converted
bond $29,259 (RMB200 million), Huzhou Saiyuan further subscribed for $14,629 (RMB100 million) on January 9, 2019 and $29,259 (RMB200
million) on February 1, 2019, respectively.
If
the subscribed bonds are not repaid by the maturity date, Huzhou Saiyuan has the right to dispose of the equity interests pledged by
the Company in proportion to the amount of matured bonds, or convert the bond to the equity interests of MPS within 60 days after the
maturity date. If Huzhou Saiyuan decides to convert the bonds to equity interests of MPS, the equity interests pledged would be released
and the convertible bonds should be converted to the equity interest of MPS based on the entity value of MPS at $950,000.
On
September 28, 2020, MPS signed a supplemental agreement for extension on repayment of convertible bonds to Huzhou Saiyuan, and the terms
on repayments and interests are as follows:

Convertible
Bonds issued to third-party investors
On November 2, 2018, MPS signed a convertible
bond agreement with two third-party investors (the “CL Investors”), through which the CL Investors agreed to provide a non-interest
bearing loan in an aggregate amount of $58,516 (RMB400 million) or up to $73,147 (RMB500 million) to MPS, and the CL Investors could convert
the bonds into a number of Series D2 preferred shares of the Company (the “Series D2 Preferred”) once approvals from the PRC
and US government were obtained. As of December 31, 2020, $29,915 (RMB204.5 million) was subscribed by the CL Investors.
On July 23, 2021, upon the completion of the Merger
between Microvast, Inc. and Tuscan, the convertible bonds were settled and converted into 6,719,845 shares of Common Stock of the combined
company. Refer to Note 3.
Convertible Notes at Fair Value (the “Bridge
Notes”)
On
January 4, 2021, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement to issue $57,500 convertible promissory notes to certain
investors, fully due and payable on the third anniversary of the initial closing date. The notes bore no interest, provided,
however, if a liquidity event (“Liquidity Event”) had not occurred prior to June 30, 2022, an interest rate of 6% would
be applied retrospectively from the date of initial closing. The conversion of the promissory notes was contingent upon the
occurrence of a Private Investment in Public Equity (“PIPE”) financing, a Liquidity Event or a new financing after June
30, 2022 but before the maturity date (“Next Financing”). The first tranche and second tranche of the convertible
promissory notes were issued in January 2021 and February 2021 at amounts of $25,000 and $32,500, respectively. A discounted rate of
80% or 90% was required to be applied upon conversion, depending on the circumstances of PIPE financing, Liquidity Event or Next
Financing.

BONDS PAYABLE - continued
The
fair value option was elected for the measurement of the convertible notes. Changes in fair value, a loss of $3,018 and $9,861
were recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,
respectively.
On
July 23, 2021, upon the completion of the Merger between Microvast, Inc. and Tuscan, the convertible promissory notes were converted
into 6,736,106 shares of Common Stock of the combined company as disclosed in Note 3.
12.
WARRANTS
The Company assumed 27,600,000 publicly-traded
warrants (“Public Warrants”) and 837,000 private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc.
(“EarlyBirdCapital”) (“Private Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) upon
the Merger, all of which were issued in connection with Tuscan’s initial public offering (other than 150,000 Private Warrants that
were issued in connection with the closing of the Merger) and entitle the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock
at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, none of Public Warrants and
Private Warrants were exercised.
The Public Warrants became exercisable 30 days
after the completion of the Merger. No Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company registered Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants with the SEC. Since the registration of shares was not completed within 90 days following the Merger, warrant
holders may exercise Warrants on a net-share settlement basis. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion
of the Merger or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
Once
the Public Warrants became exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:
|
●
|
in
whole and not in part;
|
|
●
|
at
a price of $0.01 per warrant;
|
|
●
|
upon
not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption;
|
|
●
|
if,
and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds
$18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third
business day prior to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and
|
|
●
|
if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants.
|
If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption,
management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a net-share settlement basis.
The Private Warrants are identical to the Public
Warrants, except that the Private Warrants will be exercisable for cash or on a net-share settlement basis, at the holder’s option,
and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held
by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and
exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. In addition, so long as the Private Warrants are held by EarlyBirdCapital
and its designee, the Private Warrants will expire five years from the effective date of the Merger.
The
exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances
including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Warrants will
not be adjusted for issuance of Common Stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be
required to net cash settle the Warrants.

WARRANTS - continued
The
Private Warrants were initially recognized as a liability on July 23, 2021 at a fair value of $3,574 and the private warrant liability
was remeasured to fair value based upon the market price as of September 30, 2021, resulting in a gain of $1.1 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2021, classified within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated
statements of operations.
The Private Warrants were valued using the following
assumptions under the Monte Carlo Model that assumes optimal exercise of the Company’s redemption option at the earliest possible
date:

The market price of public stock is the
quoted market price of the Company’s Common Stock as of the valuation date. The exercise price is extracted from the warrant
agreements. The expected term is derived from the exercisable years based on the warrant agreements. The expected volatility is a
blend of implied volatility from the Company’s own public warrant pricing and the average volatility of peer companies. The
risk-free interest rate was estimated based on the market yield of US Government Bond with maturity close to the expected term of
the warrants. The dividend yield was estimated by the Company based on its expected dividend policy over the expected term of the
warrants.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Measured
or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis
The Group measured its financial assets and liabilities,
including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, warrants and convertible notes at fair value on a recurring basis as of December
31, 2020 and September 30, 2021. Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and convertible notes are classified within Level 1 of the
fair value hierarchy because they are valued based on the quoted market price in an active market. The fair value of the warrant liability
is based on significant unobservable inputs, which represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. In determining
the fair value of the warrant liability, the Company used the Monte Carlo that assumes optimal exercise of the Company’s redemption
option at the earliest possible date. See Note 12.

NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
Noncontrolling
interests of MPS
In
March 2017, Microvast, Inc. sold 17.39% equity interest of its wholly-owned subsidiary, MPS, to eight third-party investors (the “Investors”)
for total cash consideration of $400,000, which was received in 2017.
In
February 2018, Microvast, Inc. signed a series of repurchase and redemption agreements with six out of the eight investors of MPS which
requested to redeem in aggregate 14.05% equity interests in MPS (“Exiting Investors”), at a redemption value equal to the initial
capital contribution plus 6.00% simple annual interest. To facilitate the repurchase and redemption transaction, MPS and the Exiting
Investors entered into certain property mortgage agreements on May 30, 2018.
Pursuant to an extension agreement signed in September
2020, $30,000 was paid to the Exiting Investors in March 2021, and the remaining repayments are scheduled in 2023 and thereafter, depending
on the completion of financing in 2022 or 2023. On August 31, 2021, an early repayment agreement was entered into between MPS and the
Exiting Investors, pursuant to which the remaining amount of $99,038 was fully repaid as of September 30, 2021 to the Exiting Investors.
On
July 23, 2021, upon the completion of the Merger between Microvast, Inc. and Tuscan, the equity interest held by the investors who
remained noncontrolling shareholders of MPS were converted into 17,253,182 shares of Common Stock of the combined company as
disclosed in Note 3.
15.
COMMON STOCK
The Company has authorized 800,000,000 shares to be issued at
$0.0001 par value, with 750,000,000 shares designated as Common Stock and 50,000,000 shares of redeemable convertible
preferred stock.
Immediately following the Merger, there were 300,516,237 shares
of Common Stock issued with a par value of $0.0001 as disclosed in Note 3. The holder of each share of Common Stock is entitled to one
vote. The Company has retroactively adjusted the shares issued and outstanding prior to July 23, 2021 to give effect to the Common
Exchange Ratio of 160.3 established in the Merger Agreement. As of September 30, 2021, there were 300,522,394 shares of Common Stock issued
and 298,834,894 shares outstanding.

MICROVAST
HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021
(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data, or as otherwise noted)
17.
SHARE-BASED PAYMENT
In 2012, Microvast, Inc. adopted a Share Incentive
Plan (the “2012 Plan”). The 2012 Plan permits the grant of options to purchase common stock, share appreciation rights, non-vested
shares and non-vested share units. The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to all awards under
the share incentive plan is 17 percent of the total issued and outstanding company shares on a fully-diluted basis. The share options,
non-vested shares and non-vested share units granted to the employees or nonemployees shall vest and become non-forfeitable with respect
to one-third of the total number of the non-vested share and non-vested share units immediately upon the occurrence of initial public
offering, sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the business, operations or assets of Microvast, Inc. or its subsidiaries, taken
as a whole, to a third party, or such other sale or transfer of common stock in Microvast, Inc. as determined, in each case, by Microvast,
Inc. pursuant to legal documents and other obligations binding upon it (the “Initial Vesting Date”), and on each of the first
and second anniversaries of the Initial Vesting Date; provided that through each applicable vesting date, the employee or nonemployee
is employed. The Merger in 2021 did not constitute the satisfaction of a performance condition that would trigger the vesting of equity
awards as stipulated in the 2012 Plan.
In connection with the Merger, all outstanding
share awards granted under the 2012 Plan, 209,906 options and 143,652 capped non-vested share units, were converted into 33,647,927 options
and 23,027,399 capped non-vested share units of the Company, respectively, using the Common Exchange Ratio of 160.3 as described in Note
3. Upon conversion, the Company modified the terms of the equity awards by removing the performance condition of the occurrence of an
initial public offering and similar transaction under the 2012 Plan, and adopted a new vesting schedule of one-third of the total number
on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Closing Date (the “Modification”). The Modification was considered
a Type III modification under the Accounting for Share-Based Payments (Topic 718), in which the original awards were canceled, and the
modified awards were considered granted on the modification date. Post-modification stock-based compensation expense related to these
new awards will be recognized over the remaining service period using modification date fair values. Following the Merger, no further
awards will be granted under the 2012 Plan. All stock award activity was retroactively restated to reflect the conversion.
On July 21, 2021, the stockholders of the Company
approved the Microvast Holdings, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), effective upon the Closing Date. The 2021
Plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock option, restricted stock units, restricted share awards, stock appreciation
awards, and cash-based awards to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company. Options awarded under the 2021 Plan expire no more
than 10 years from the date of grant. The 2021 Plan reserves 5% of the fully-diluted shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
following the Closing Date (not including the shares underlying awards rolled over from the 2012 Plan) for issuance in accordance with
the 2021 Plan’s terms. As of September 30, 2021, 76,956,754 shares of Common Stock was available under the 2021 Plan.

During the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2021, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $10.2 million related to the option awards.

The capped non-vested shares units represent rights
for the holder to receive cash determined by the number of shares granted multiplied by the lower of the fair market value and the capped
price, which will be settled in the form of cash payments. The capped non-vested shares units were accounted for as liability classified
awards. Upon conversion, the Company adjusted the terms of capped non-vested shares units outstanding as described above. The Company
recorded stock-based compensation expense of $8.8 million related to these non-vested share units awards based on the fair value
determined by the lower of stock market price and the capped price as of September 30, 2021.

Restricted Stock Units
Following the Merger, the Company granted 133,981 restricted
stock units (“RSUs”) and 63,959 performance-based restricted stock unit (“PSU”) awards subject to service, performance
and/or market conditions. The service condition requires the participant’s continued services or employment with the Company through
the applicable vesting date, and the performance condition requires the achievement of the performance criteria defined in the award agreement.
The market condition is based on is based on the Company’s TSR. For RSU awards with performance conditions, stock-based compensation
expense is only recognized if the performance conditions become probable to be satisfied.
The fair value of RSUs is determined by the price
of Common Stock at the grant date and is amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. The fair value of PSU awards that
include vesting based on market conditions are estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation method. Compensation cost for these awards is
recognized based on the grant date fair value which is recognized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. Accordingly, the Company
recorded stock-based compensation expense of $135 related to these RSU awards and $31 related to these PSU awards during the nine
months ended September 30, 2021.
The following assumptions were used for respective
period to calculate the fair value of common shares to be issued under TSR awards on the date of grant using the Monte Carlo pricing model:

B2 Preferred subscribed by employees
On
October 30, 2015, the Company issued 79,107 Series B2 Preferred to certain employees of the Company. The Series B2 Preferred were issued
for cash consideration of $366.00 per share (“Series B2 Award”) and all the Series B2 Preferred were fully paid on the date
of issuance. The Series B2 Award shall vest with respect to one-fourth of the total number immediately upon the occurrence of a qualified
IPO or Initial Vesting Date, and on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Initial Vesting Date; provided that through
each applicable vesting date, the holder of the Series B2 Award remains employed with the Company. If a holder of the Series B2 Award
terminates employment before the vesting, the Company could repurchase the Series B2 Preferred for a per share price equal to the lower
of the original Series B2 Preferred subscription price or 70% of the fair market value of such Series B2 Preferred. The Company’s
repurchase right upon employment termination is viewed as forfeiture and the Company accounted for the Series B2 Award as a stock option.

As

per share price equal to the original Series B2 Preferred subscription price.
Upon the Merger, the Series B2 Preferred were
converted into 8,546,502 Common Stock, however, the Series B2 Award was not vested as the performance condition was not reached. In September
2021, the performance and service condition was exempted for the Series B2 holders and the awards were fully vested. The exemption of
performance and service condition was considered a Type III modification under the Topic 718, in which the original awards were canceled,
and the modified awards were considered granted on the modification date. Post-modification stock-based compensation expense related to
these new awards of $39.2 million was recognized using modification date fair values determined based on the difference between the exercise
price and Common Stock price on the modification date. Accordingly, the deposit liability was reclassified to equity upon the vesting.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
On
September 4, 2017, Matthew Smith, a former employee of the Company, sent a demand letter to the Company alleging claims for breach of
contract (involving stock options) and discrimination. On October 5, 2017, Mr. Smith filed a charge of discrimination with the United
States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) alleging the same discrimination claims and also claiming his employment
was terminated in retaliation for his prior discrimination complaints. On September 18, 2019, EEOC dismissed Matthew Smith’s claim
in its entirety and stated that “No finding is made as to any other issues that might be constructed as having been raised by this
charge.”
On
February 5, 2018, Mr. Smith filed suit against the Company asserting claims for breach of contract and asserting discrimination and retaliation
claims. In this action, Mr. Smith seeks the following relief: (1) a declaration that he owns 2,600 ordinary shares and (2) various damages
and other equitable remedies over $1,000. The Company has denied all allegations and wrongful conduct. On November 11, 2021, the case was reset on the court’s docket,
which will postpone the trial from November 2021 until early 2022.
The
outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain and the amount of potential loss if any, associated with the resolution of such litigation,
cannot be reasonably estimated. As such, no accrual for contingency loss was recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2021.
Capital
commitments
Capital
commitments for construction of property and purchase of property, plant and equipment were $46,144 as of September 30, 2021, which is
mainly for the construction of the lithium battery production line.
