The net loss attributable to common shareholders after preferred dividends was $193.9 million, or $35.83 net loss per share, for the six months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders after preferred dividends of $483.8 million, or $6,378.47 loss per share, for the six months ended March 31, 2023. Share counts were adjusted retroactively for reverse stock splits. The net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2024, of $193.9 million included impairment charges totaling $105.5 million mainly due to the uncertainty of future fundings required to support the business and decrease of Company's market capitalization. These write-downs include Bollinger goodwill of $28.8 million, intangible assets for Bollinger ($58.3) and ELMS ($15.1) and the write-down of right-of-use assets of $3.2 million.
Turning to our balance sheets and liquidity, we had $5.3 million and $58.5 million of working capital at March 31, 2024, and Sept. 30, 2023, respectively. Adding back derivative liabilities and liability to issue shares (items settled in stock), the numbers increase to $18.3 million and $133.3 million at March 31, 2024, and Sept. 30, 2023, respectively. We had total cash (including cash equivalents and restricted cash) of $29.8 million at March 31, 2024, versus $155.7 million at Sept. 30, 2023.
Current notes payable were $2.7 million and $7.5 million as of March 31, 2024, and Sept. 30, 2023, respectively. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we paid off $4.9 million in current notes payable that was secured by a mortgage on our Tunica, Mississippi, facility. We now own Tunica and Mishawaka facilities debt free.
Shareholders’ equity was $117.4 million as of March 31, 2024, versus $272.8 million for Sept. 30, 2023. The decrease in stockholders’ equity for the six months ended March 31, 2024, reflects the impairment charges of $105.5 and other operating losses of $129.9 million offset by warrant exercises, stock-based compensation and other equity adjustments.
Following are our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023.

About Mullen
Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ: MULN) is a Southern California-based automotive company building the next generation of commercial electric vehicles (“EVs”) with two United States-based vehicle plants located in Tunica, Mississippi, (120,000 square feet) and Mishawaka, Indiana (650,000 square feet). In August 2023, Mullen began commercial vehicle production in Tunica. In September 2023, Mullen received IRS approval for federal EV tax credits on its commercial vehicles with a Qualified Manufacturer designation that offers eligible customers up to $7,500 per vehicle. As of January 2024, both the Mullen ONE, a Class 1 EV cargo van, and Mullen THREE, a Class 3 EV cab chassis truck are California Air Resource Board (“CARB”) and EPA certified and available for sale in the U.S. Recently CARB issued HVIP approval on the Mullen THREE, Class 3 EV truck, providing up to $45,000 cash voucher at time of vehicle purchase. The Company has also recently expanded its commercial dealer network with the addition of Pritchard EV and National Auto Fleet Group, providing sales and service coverage in key Midwest and West Coast markets. The Company also recently announced Foreign Trade Zone (“FTZ”) status approval for its Tunica, Mississippi, commercial vehicle manufacturing center. FTZ approval provides a number of benefits, including deferment of duties owed and elimination of duties on exported vehicles.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this press release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any statements contained in this press release that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. Words such as "continue," "will," "may," "could," "should," "expect," "expected," "plans," "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential" and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, many of which are generally outside the control of Mullen and are difficult to predict. Examples of such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to the timing and receipt of the $150 Million capital commitment, whether such funding will be sufficient to meet the needs of the Company and its affiliated entities, the impact to the Company and its shareholders as a result of the anticipated financing , whether the B4, Class 4 vehicle deliveries will occur in the timeline expected, whether development and production of the Mullen FIVE RS will be completed and launched within the anticipated timeframes, whether governmental grant applications submitted by the Company will be successful and the outcome of the integrated solid-state polymer battery packs in vehicle level testing. Additional examples of such risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to: (i) Mullen’s ability (or inability) to obtain additional financing in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms when needed; (ii) Mullen's ability to maintain existing, and secure additional, contracts with manufacturers, parts and other service providers relating to its business; (iii) Mullen’s ability to successfully expand in existing markets and enter new markets; (iv) Mullen’s ability to successfully manage and integrate any acquisitions of businesses, solutions or technologies; (v) unanticipated operating costs, transaction costs and actual or contingent liabilities; (vi) the ability to attract and retain qualified employees and key personnel; (vii) adverse effects of increased competition on Mullen’s business; (viii) changes in government licensing and regulation that may adversely affect Mullen’s business; (ix) the risk that changes in consumer behavior could adversely affect Mullen’s business; (x) Mullen’s ability to protect its intellectual property; and (xi) local, industry and general business and economic conditions. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements can be found in the most recent annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K filed by Mullen with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Mullen anticipates that subsequent events and developments may cause its plans, intentions and expectations to change. Mullen assumes no obligation, and it specifically disclaims any intention or obligation, to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as expressly required by law. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and should not be relied upon as representing Mullen’s plans and expectations as of any subsequent date.
