NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except as separately indicated)


Note 1. Overview
Hyliion Holdings Corp. is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Cedar Park, Texas. References to the “Company,” “Hyliion,” “we,” or “us” in this report refer to Hyliion Holdings Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, unless expressly indicated or the context otherwise requires.
The Company designs and develops hybrid and fully electric powertrain systems for Class 8 semi-trucks which modify semi-tractors into hybrid and range-extending electric vehicles, respectively. The Company’s hybrid system utilizes intelligent electric drive axles with advanced algorithms and battery technology to optimize vehicle performance, enabling fleets to access an easy, efficient way to decrease fuel expenses, lower emissions and/or improve vehicle performance (“Hybrid”). The Hypertruck ERXTM system utilizes an intelligent electric powertrain with advanced algorithms to optimize emissions performance and efficiency with no new infrastructure required. The Hypertruck ERX system enables fleets to reduce the cost of ownership while providing the ability to deliver net-negative carbon emissions and operate fully electric when needed. The Company recently launched its commercial Hybrid system, and the Hypertruck ERX system is in the design verification phase. The Company recently acquired new fuel agnostic capable generator technology with which it plans to develop and commercialize the Hypertruck KARNO.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
These condensed consolidated statements include the accounts of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 was derived from audited financial statements for the fiscal year then ended, but does not include all necessary disclosures required with respect to annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all recurring adjustments and normal accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2021 Annual Report. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year or for any future period.
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is an early-stage growth company and has generated negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. At September 30, 2022, the Company had total equity of $451.2 million, inclusive of cash and cash equivalents of $154.2 million and investments of $301.3 million. Based on this, the Company has sufficient funds to continue to execute its business strategy for the next twelve months.
Use of Estimates and Uncertainty of the Coronavirus Pandemic
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, as well as reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s most significant estimates and judgments involve revenue recognition, inventory, warranties, acquisitions, income taxes and valuation of share-based compensation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s financial statements.
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 11, 2020, declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic. In mid-March 2020, U.S. State Governors, local officials and leaders outside of the U.S. began ordering various “shelter-in-place” orders, which have had various impacts on the U.S. and global economies. The lingering impacts of the coronavirus pandemic primarily include ongoing shortages in the transportation industry supply chain.
Concentration of Supplier Risk
The Company is dependent on certain suppliers, the majority of which are single source suppliers, and the inability of these suppliers to deliver necessary components of the Company’s products in a timely manner at prices, quality levels and volumes
5

that are acceptable, or the Company’s inability to efficiently manage these components from these suppliers, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity date of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents only if in checking, savings or money market accounts. Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in banks and money market accounts and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company maintains cash in excess of federally insured limits at financial institutions which it believes are of high credit quality and has not incurred any losses related to these balances to date. The Company believes its credit risk, with respect to these financial institutions to be minimal.
Restricted Cash
The Company has provided its corporate headquarters lessor with a letter of credit for $0.7 million to secure the performance of the Company's lease obligations, backed by a restricted cash deposit to pay any draws on the letter of credit by the lessor. Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash presented in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows is summarized as follows:
September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents $ 154,161  $ 258,445  $ 289,486  $ 389,705 
Restricted cash included in other non-current assets 665  665  698  — 
$ 154,826  $ 259,110  $ 290,184  $ 389,705 
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at gross invoice amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for potential account losses on the balance based on the Company’s evaluation of the anticipated impact of current economic conditions, changes in the character and size of the balance, past and expected future loss experience and other pertinent factors. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, accounts receivable included amounts receivable from customers of $0.6 million and $45.0 thousand, respectively. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts required based on the Company's evaluation.
Investments
The Company’s investments consist of corporate bonds, U.S. treasury and agency securities, state and local municipal bonds and commercial paper, all of which are classified as held-to-maturity, with a maturity date of 36-months or less at the time of purchase. The Company determines the appropriate classification of investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Investments are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization, along with interest, is included in interest income. The Company uses the specific identification method to determine the cost basis of securities sold.
Investments are impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary. The Company evaluates investments for impairment by considering the length of time and extent to which market value has been less than cost or amortized cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer as well as specific events or circumstances that may influence the operations of the issuer and the Company’s intent to sell the security or the likelihood that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of the entire amortized cost. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded to other income and a new cost basis in the investment is established.
Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level I: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company can access at the measurement date;
6

Level II: Significant other observable inputs other than level I prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and
Level III: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
An asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, however the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable and accrued expenses for which the carrying value approximates fair value, exclusive of any interim unrealized gains or losses, because of the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair values of investments are based on quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active. As a result, investments are classified within Level II of the fair value hierarchy.
Revenue
The Company follows five steps to recognize revenue from contracts with customers under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which are:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer;
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
Step 3: Determine the transaction price;
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied.
Revenue is comprised of sales of Hybrid systems for Class 8 semi-trucks, Class 8 semi-trucks outfitted with Hybrid systems and specific other features and services that meet the definition of a performance obligation, including internet connectivity and data processing. We provide installation services for the Hybrid system onto the customers’ vehicle. The Company’s products are marketed and sold to end-user fleet customers in North America. When our contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations and where material, the contract transaction price is allocated on a relative standalone selling price basis to each performance obligation. There is no meaningful basis on which to disaggregate revenue in the current period.
We recognize revenue on Hybrid system sales and Class 8 semi-trucks outfitted with Hybrid systems upon delivery and acceptance of the vehicle to the customer, which is when control transfers. Contracts are reviewed for significant financing components and payments are typically received within 30 days of delivery. The sale of a Hybrid system to an end-use fleet customer consists of a completed modification to the customer vehicle and the installation services involve significant integration of the Hybrid system with the customer’s vehicle. Installation services are not distinct within the context of the contract and together with the sale of the Hybrid system represent a single performance obligation. We do not offer any sales returns. Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling are classified as revenue, and we have elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping when control has transferred to the customer as a cost of revenue. Our policy is to exclude taxes collected from customers from the transaction price of contracts. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, we began taking deposits to secure future Hypertruck ERX production slots.
When a Class 8 semi-truck outfitted with a Hybrid system is resold to a customer, judgment is required to determine if we are the principal or agent in the arrangement. We consider factors such as, but not limited to, which entity has the primary responsibility for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service, which entity has inventory risk before the specified good or service has been transferred to a customer and which entity has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service. We have determined that we are the principal in transactions involving the resale of Class 8 semi-trucks outfitted with the Hybrid system.

The disaggregation of our revenue sources for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is summarized as follows:
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
2022 2021 2022 2021
Hybrid systems and other $ 243  $ —  $ 755  $ — 
Class 8 semi-truck prepared for Hybrid system upfit 256  —  256  — 
Total product sales and other $ 499  $ —  $ 1,011  $ — 
Warranties
We provide limited assurance-type warranties under our contracts and do not offer extended warranties or maintenance contracts. The warranty period typically extends for the lesser of two years or 200,000 miles following transfer of control and solely relate to correction of product defects during the warranty period. We recognize the cost of the warranty upon transfer of control based on estimated and historical claims rates and fulfillment costs, which are variable. Should product failure rates and fulfillment costs differ from these estimates, material revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. Warranty expense is recorded as a component of cost of revenue.
Note 3. Acquisition
In September 2022, we acquired certain assets (the "Acquired Assets") of General Electric Company's GE Additive business (the "Acquisition"). The Acquired Assets include new hydrogen and fuel agnostic capable generator technology (“KARNO”). The Acquisition did not meet the definition of a business combination and was accounted for as an asset acquisition. No goodwill was recognized and payments allocated to in-process research and development ("IPR&D") were recorded in research and development expense as there was no alternative future use. Total consideration for the Acquisition was $32.3 million comprised of $15.0 million in cash, 5,500,000 shares of common stock valued at $16.1 million on the closing date and $1.2 million in direct transaction costs. $3.6 million was recorded as property and equipment with expected useful lives of primarily five years and $28.8 million was recorded as research and development expense. All assets were valued using level 3 inputs, with property and equipment valued using a market approach and IPR&D valued using an income approach based on Company management’s projections. The cash component of the consideration was recorded in the statement of cash flows and allocated between purchase of property and equipment and purchase of IPR&D under investing activities.

Our goal is to reduce the carbon intensity and the greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions of the transportation sector by providing hybrid and range-extending electric powertrain solutions for Class 8 semi-trucks at the lowest total cost of ownership (“TCO”). Throughout our product offerings, we utilize our battery systems, control software and data analytics, combined with fully integrated electric motors and power electronics, to produce electrified powertrain systems.
We currently offer two different product lines: a Hybrid system which is designed as an add-on to electric powertrains on trucks which can augment power needs or potentially save on fuel costs, and the Hypertruck ERX which is a complete powertrain option that is fully electric and leverages an onboard generator to recharge the batteries as the vehicle is in operation. By reducing both GHG emissions and TCO, our environmentally conscious solutions support our customers’ pursuit of their sustainability and financial objectives.
We are currently selling the Hybrid system and are developing our Hypertruck ERX electrified powertrain system for Class 8 semi-trucks. Our Hybrid systems have been installed in low volumes on our initial customers’ commercial vehicles. Across these customer installations and over the entire Hyliion fleet, we have accumulated millions of real-world road miles on Class 8 semi-trucks. Our Hybrid system can either be installed on a new vehicle prior to entering fleet service or retrofit to an existing in-service vehicle. The Hypertruck ERX system leverages the experience and operating data from our Hybrid systems to offer a solution to replace the traditional diesel or compressed natural gas (“CNG”) powertrain installed in new vehicles.
The Hypertruck ERX powertrain, which functions as an electric range-extender, is addressing the market needs of having a fully electric drive truck that can travel long distance between refuels and can leverage existing natural gas infrastructure. Our Hypertruck ERX systems are designed to have their batteries recharged by an onboard CNG generator. Our Hypertruck ERX system can offer commercial vehicle owners and operators a net carbon negative capable electrified powertrain option, when
13
using renewable natural gas (“RNG”). We believe CNG/RNG is the correct fuel source to begin with, but there are other fuels that will become available to address the climate change initiative, including hydrogen. We have showcased a multistage roadmap that starts with utilizing a CNG/RNG generator and evolves into offering hydrogen-based solutions as well. The Hypertruck platform is designed to be fuel agnostic while the rest of the electric powertrain can remain the same. We plan to initially release the Hypertruck ERX CNG solution, following with the release of a fuel agnostic capable generator (“KARNO” generator) and a hydrogen fuel cell generator for the Hypertruck platform in the future.
CNG fueled battery recharging is preferable today due to both the current comparable cost of fuels and existing availability of CNG infrastructure. Class 8 semi-trucks can currently be refueled with CNG through existing, geographically diverse and third-party accessible natural gas refueling stations established across North America. Globally, RNG, CNG and liquified natural gas (“LNG”) are used widely for land-based transport and trucking and we believe there are established, geographically diverse and third-party accessible stations available in certain areas that may be leveraged in connection with the use of our electrified powertrain solutions in the future. We believe there is opportunity for adoption of our electrified powertrain solutions across Europe and other countries around the globe. This existing and accessible infrastructure will significantly reduce the buildout time and cost required to utilize our Hypertruck ERX system as compared to other proposed potential electrified solutions.
Our Hybrid and Hypertruck ERX systems are designed to be able to be installed on most major Class 8 semi-trucks in the long term, which will give our customers the flexibility to continue using their preferred vehicle brands and maintain their existing fleet maintenance and operations strategies. Our early Hybrid system deployments include leaders in the transportation and logistics sector. We are focusing our initial marketing efforts on large fleet operators as well as companies committed to reducing the overall environmental impact and fuel costs of their owned and operated trucking fleets.
In September 2022 we acquired assets including new hydrogen and fuel agnostic capable generator technology from General Electric Company's GE Additive business. The KARNO generator emerged out of GE’s long-running R&D investments in metal additive manufacturing across multiple industries and in areas such as generator thermal and performance design. Initial testing indicates the KARNO generator is expected to comply with all current and foreseeable emissions standards, specifically from the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) and the Environment Protection Agency (“EPA”), even when utilizing conventional fuels. The technology is expected to achieve a meaningful efficiency improvement over today’s conventional generators and could be more efficient than most available fuel cells. These efficiency improvements should, in turn, enable fuel cost reductions and improved vehicle range. The technology should also provide for significant reductions in noise, vibration, moving parts and maintenance as compared to current combustion engines. The KARNO power system is expected to be capable of operating on over 20 different fuels including hydrogen, natural gas, propane, ammonia and conventional fuels. The technology uses heat to drive a sealed linear generator to produce electricity. The heat is produced by reacting fuels through flameless oxidation or other heat sources including renewables.
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
We believe that our performance and future success depend on several factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including but not limited to those discussed below and referenced in Item 1A “Risk Factors.”
Successful Commercialization of Our Drivetrain Solutions
Our Hybrid system officially launched, and our first early development Hypertruck ERX showcase unit was unveiled, on August 31, 2021 at the ACT Expo in Long Beach, California. Compared to previous Hyliion systems, the Hybrid system offers fleets a lighter solution that is easier to install, service and operate. The Hybrid system draws upon the real-world feedback we have received from customers and the millions of miles logged with the previous system. Due to shortages of various components caused by global supply chain disruptions, we are experiencing longer delivery times for a portion of the orders we have received on new Hybrid systems. In addition, we continually assess the potential demand impact for the Hybrid system offering in light of recent changes within the competitive landscape.
In November 2021, we began our Hypertruck ERX roadshow, which consists of numerous technology fleet experiences focused on demonstrating the features and benefits of the electric powertrain firsthand. The roadshow consists of “Ride and Drive” events and in-depth product education of the Hypertruck ERX’s features and benefits, including how it enables fleet decarbonization goals while also reducing total cost of ownership. Our development timeline has been extended to allow for design verification and testing inclusive of critical summer and winter seasons, as well as the accumulation of up to one million miles prior to production. We expect to complete design verification and begin initial controlled fleet trials by the end of 2022.
There have been ongoing shortages in the transportation industry supply chain including semiconductors as well as several other key components. These supply chain challenges have been especially prominent in the trucking industry, and one of the impacts has been significantly extended lead times for ordering new trucks. Fleets are experiencing lead times on new truck purchases that extend out for delivery into 2023. We placed orders with Peterbilt for all chassis needed in 2022 earlier this year and are securing build slots for the 2023 calendar year in an effort to mitigate future potential supply chain impacts to our Hypertruck ERX development schedule. We continue to work closely with our current supply base to improve delivery of
14
components for the quarters ahead and are diligently seeking alternative sources of supply for components that meet our technical specifications with shorter lead times.
In late 2023, we plan to first release the Hypertruck ERX powertrain, leveraging a natural gas engine as the onboard generator. In the years following, we plan to release the Hypertruck KARNO, our fuel agnostic variant, as phase two in the Hyliion journey to a hydrogen-based future. We will also explore other adjacent markets to leverage the KARNO technology for cost savings and emissions reductions.
We anticipate that a substantial portion of our capital resources and efforts in the near future will be focused on the continued development and commercialization of our drivetrain solutions. The amount and timing of our future funding requirements, if any, will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of our research and development efforts, as well as factors that are outside of our control.
Customer Demand
We have deployed demonstration Hybrid systems to certain early adopters who we expect to become customers in the future, including leaders in the transportation and logistics sector as well as companies committed to reducing the overall environmental impact and fuel costs of their owned and operated trucking fleets. Further, we began selling the Hybrid system in the fourth quarter of 2021.
In 2021, we announced our Hypertruck Innovation Council, which consists of some of the largest fleets who will be assisting us along the development journey and will have been among the first to experience the Hypertruck ERX through our “Ride and Drive” events. The successful launch program and deployment of the Hypertruck ERX met with positive feedback from customer operations teams and drivers and generated further interest in the Hypertruck ERX solution and longer-term commercial relationships with us.
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed into law in August 2022, under which the Hypertruck ERX will qualify fleets to receive a 30% tax credit up to $40,000 per vehicle adopted. We expect this to drive further interest in and demand for the Hypertruck ERX.
Key Components of Statements of Operations
Revenue
We currently generate revenues from sales of Hybrid systems for Class 8 semi-trucks and limited quantities of Class 8 semi-trucks outfitted with the Hybrid system.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes all direct costs such as labor and materials, overhead costs, warranty costs and any write-down of inventory to net realizable value.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for the discovery and development of our electrified powertrain solutions, which include:
•personnel-related expenses including salaries, benefits, travel and share-based compensation, for personnel performing research and development activities;
•fees paid to third parties such as consultants and contractors for outsourced engineering services;
•expenses related to materials, supplies and third-party services;
•depreciation for equipment used in research and development activities;
•acquired in-process research and development from asset acquisition; and
•allocation of general overhead costs.
We expect to continue to invest in research and development activities to achieve operational and commercial goals.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of personnel-related expenses for our corporate, executive, finance, sales, marketing and other administrative functions, expenses for outside professional services, including legal, audit and accounting services, as well as expenses for facilities, depreciation, amortization, travel, sales and marketing costs. Personnel-related expenses consist of salaries, benefits and share-based compensation.
15
We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we scale headcount with the growth of our business, and as a result of operating as a public company, including compliance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, legal, audit, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services.
Other Income
Other income currently consists primarily of interest income earned on our investments. As a result of our acquisition of the KARNO generator technology, we plan to assume a government contract with the United States Office of Naval Research that is not expected to have a material impact on our business.

We expect a difference in timing between recognition of revenues and cost of revenues due to write-down of inventory to net realizable value in periods prior to sales. The increase in cost of revenues includes:
•Inventory write-downs of $5.5 million attributable to inventory on hand that had a cost higher than its net realizable value;
•Class 8 semi-truck cost of $0.2 million; and
•Warranty costs of $0.5 million for estimated costs to administer and maintain the warranty program for labor, transportation and parts, excluding any contribution from vendors.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses increased $47.7 million in the current nine months primarily due to:
•$28.8 million related to hydrogen and fuel agnostic capable generator technology (“KARNO”) acquired in September 2022 from General Electric Company's GE Additive business to develop and commercialize the fuel agnostic Hypertruck KARNO; and

•An increase in personnel and benefits of $4.4 million and software costs of $1.6 million as we continue to grow our sales and other functions, including impacts from the departure of our prior Chief Financial Officer; and
•An increase of $1.0 million for legal and professional services and other; partially offset by
•A decrease of $0.2 million for marketing and advertising.
Other Income
Total other income increased $2.4 million in the current nine months primarily due to interest income on investments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2022, our current assets were $394.0 million, consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents of $154.2 million, short-term investments of $232.9 million and prepaid expenses of $5.9 million. Our current liabilities were $16.8 million primarily comprised of accounts payable, accrued expenses and operating lease liabilities.
We believe the credit quality and liquidity of our investment portfolio at September 30, 2022 is strong and will provide sufficient liquidity to satisfy operating requirements, working capital purposes and strategic initiatives. The unrealized gains and losses of the portfolio may remain volatile as changes in the general interest environment and supply and demand fluctuations of the securities within our portfolio impact daily market valuations. To mitigate the risk associated with this market volatility, we deploy a relatively conservative investment strategy focused on capital preservation and liquidity whereby no investment security may have a final maturity of more than 36 months from the date of acquisition or a weighted average maturity exceeding 18 months. Eligible investments under the Company’s investment policy bearing a minimum credit rating of A1, A-1, F1 or higher for short-term investments and A2, A, or higher for longer-term investments include money market funds, commercial paper, certificates of deposit and municipal securities. Additionally, all of our debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity as we have the intent and ability to hold these investment securities to maturity, which minimizes any realized losses that we would recognize prior to maturity. However, even with this approach we may incur investment losses as a result of unusual or unpredictable market developments, and we may experience reduced investment earnings if the yields on investments deemed to be low risk remain low or decline further due to unpredictable market developments. In addition, these unusual and unpredictable market developments may also create liquidity challenges for certain of the assets in our investment portfolio.
Based on our past performance, we believe our current assets will be sufficient to continue and execute on our business strategy and meet our capital requirements for the next twelve months. Our primary short-term cash needs are Hypertruck ERX product development costs and components purchased to support the stated of production, operating expenses and production and related costs of Hybrid systems. We plan to stay asset-light and utilize third parties to perform assembly and manufacturing at scale.
18
We expect to continue to incur net losses in the short term, as we continue to execute on our strategic initiatives by (i) completing the development and commercialization of the electrified drive systems for Class 8 semi-trucks, (ii) scaling the Company’s operations to meet anticipated demand and (iii) hiring personnel. Further, we plan to develop and commercialize the fuel agnostic Hypertruck KARNO with an anticipated commercial launch a few years after the Hypertruck ERX. However, actual results could vary materially and negatively as a result of a number of factors including, but not limited to, those discussed in Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors."
During the periods presented, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, which were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

Cash used primarily related to the purchase of investments of $268.7 million and property and equipment of $2.2 million, partially offset by the sale or maturity of investments of $205.4 million.
Cash from Financing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash flows used in financing activities were $0.1 million. Cash flows were primarily due to payment of taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards of $0.2 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash flows provided by financing activities were $15.9 million. Cash flows were primarily due to net proceeds from the exercise of warrants of $16.3 million and proceeds from exercise of common stock options of $0.6 million, partially offset by repayments of $0.9 million for a Paycheck Protection Program loan.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we applied the same critical accounting policies as described in our 2021 Annual Report, supplemented with those below, that affect judgments and estimates of amounts recorded for certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
19
Acquisitions
To determine whether acquisitions should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition, we make certain judgments which include assessing whether the acquired set of activities and assets meet the definition of a business. If the acquired set of activities and assets meets the definition of a business, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are required to be recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date with the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets recorded as goodwill. If the acquired set of activities and assets does not meet the definition of a business, the transaction is recorded as an acquisition of assets and, therefore, any acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) that does not have an alternative future use is charged to expense at the acquisition date, and no goodwill is recorded.
The judgments made in determining estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination or asset acquisition, as well as estimated asset lives, can materially affect our consolidated results of operations. All assets acquired in 2022 were valued using level 3 inputs with property and equipment valued using a cost approach and IPR&D valued using an income approach based on management’s projections. The fair values of assets, including acquired IPR&D, are determined using information available near the acquisition date based on estimates and assumptions that are deemed reasonable by management. Significant estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, probability of technical success, revenue growth, future revenues and expenses and discount rate.
Revenue Recognition
When a Class 8 semi-truck outfitted with a Hybrid system is resold to a customer, judgment is required to determine if we are the principal or agent in the arrangement. We consider factors such as, but not limited to, which entity has the primary responsibility for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service, which entity has inventory risk before the specified good or service has been transferred to a customer and which entity has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service. We have determined that we are the principal in transactions involving the resale of Class 8 semi-trucks outfitted with the Hybrid system. We are in early stages of development, continue to refine our business plans and consider the resale of Class 8 semi-trucks outfitted with Hybrid systems to constitute ordinary activities from our ongoing major or central operations.
Should our business plans, estimates or assumptions change, we may record receipts from sales of Class 8 semi-trucks as non-operating income in future periods.
