The Company

Atlis Motor Vehicles Inc is an early-stage development and manufacturing company of electric vehicle battery technology and vehicle platforms. The Company can be best described as a technology development company working toward providing battery technology and a Vehicle as a Service platform for electric heavy duty and light duty work vehicles. The company is in the process of developing electrified vehicle, infrastructure, and software platforms for work fleets. At the core of Atlis Motor Vehicles’ hardware platform will be proprietary battery technology capable of charging a full-size pickup truck in 15 minutes, and a modular system architecture capable of scaling to meet the specific vehicle or equipment application needs. We want to build a truck with unprecedented capabilities at a reasonable price. At the same time, we intend to scale our battery production and become a battery cell supplier. We also want to change the customer experience from sales, ordering, financing, and delivery to maintenance and service.

Principal Product and Its Market

Atlis Motor Vehicles has several pillars of product focus for our business. These pillars are:

●            ATLIS Energy. Our goal is to offer a superior battery technology solution that offers unparalleled fast charging and superior inclement weather and output performance. Not only will the battery technology be used in Atlis products, but we also intend to manufacture and sell our superior battery cell and pack technology as its own product line.

●            ATLIS Charging. The Atlis Motor Vehicles Advanced Charging Station, or AAC, is being designed to boast the highest power solution to enter the market, a 1.5MW charging station, that's as simple to operate as filling up your gas vehicle today. ATLIS will also provide CCS 2.0 charging capabilities for non-ATLIS branded vehicles.

●            ATLIS XP. As we look to the future of electrification, Atlis Motor Vehicles’ XP Platform aims to provide a scalable technology solution with a connected cloud, mobile, service, and charging ecosystem that will provide unprecedented workflows and customer experiences moving forward. This platform of technology will be leveraged to develop new vehicle solutions quickly while minimizing costs and time. The modular XP technology platform will allow Atlis Motor Vehicles to work quickly with strategic partners looking to develop new vehicle solutions for niche and mass-market opportunities while leveraging the vast network of capabilities we look to provide.

●            ATLIS XT. The XT Pickup truck will be our flagship vehicle product offering. The XT Pickup truck aims to represent every key piece of technology Atlis Motor Vehicles is developing and how this technology can be utilized to bring capable, non-compromising vehicle solutions through electrification. The XT Pickup truck will be our market entry solution into the world of work and is intended to be just the beginning of a long line of vehicle solutions built on our XP Platform

How We Will Generate Revenue

Atlis Motor Vehicles has built a pilot production line for the Atlis battery cell and is working to scale production of battery cells and battery packs in the coming year. Atlis has built the first production-level prototypes and will next go through testing and validation. Once testing has passed all requirements, the final designs will be locked, and the first production batteries will be built for initial customers. We expect to build the first batteries for customers by the end of calendar year 2021.

For the XP Platform and XT Truck products, Atlis is still in the research and development stage and does not currently produce a Platform or Vehicle product for sale. ATLIS has produced a working prototype of the XP Platform, XT Pickup truck, and ATLIS V1.5 Battery cell technology. Atlis Motor Vehicles has demonstrated physical proof of concept prototypes for the battery technology, XP Platform, and XT Truck. Following completion of the proof-of-concept prototypes of the XP Platform and XT Truck, Atlis Motor Vehicles will finalize the design of all components and parts, order initial parts, and build the first working prototypes with production-quality parts. From there the production-level prototypes will go through thorough testing and once testing has passed all requirements the final designs will be locked, and production parts will be ordered and built in our initial production runs. Atlis has not yet generated any sales of the XT Pickup truck or XP Platform to date. The Company is still in the development stage and will be for at least 12-18 more months. We expect to finalize development of the production model and begin producing trucks for delivery and sale by the end of calendar year 2022.

Atlis Motor Vehicles has received substantial interest in its product via reservations submitted on the Company’s website. The total value of these reservations, if all such reservations were converted to sales, is over $2.8 billion. This projection was generated by extrapolating the XT Pickup Truck’s predicted average sales price of $59,968 by the number of electronic reservations made on the Company's website. Reservations from email addresses that bounce have been removed, and each reservation is counted as one vehicle unless an Atlis representative speaks to the reservation holder and validates the request for multiple vehicles. These reservations are non-binding, non-deposit, and require no down payment or reservation fee. Atlis has foregone the requirement for a refundable deposit in favor of allowing reservation holders to become investors in Atlis Motor Vehicles through our Regulation CF and Regulation A+ offerings. This expressed interest should not be taken as a guarantee of sale.

Market

Industry

Energy and Battery

The electric vehicle battery industry is rapidly growing as OEM’s target transitions to completely electric product offerings, some as soon as 2025. Electric vehicle batteries are in high demand, and smaller companies are not able to secure battery supply for their production targets from the larger battery manufacturers. By 2030 the forecasted need for electric vehicle batteries is 79% higher than the forecasted supply. Atlis intends to supply battery cells and packs to help fill this gap in supply.

Pickup Trucks
Pickup trucks have been the top three best-selling vehicles in the US for the past five years. Altogether, including the new and used truck market, vehicle up-fitter market, and charging opportunity, the total market opportunity for us is north of $241B, and we have already received over $2.8B in reservations. Currently there are no electric pickup trucks in the market, and Atlis intends to capture the largest market share of the electric work truck market. Our proprietary battery technology is being designed to allow us to deliver unprecedented range and charge times.

Target market demographics

ATLIS is developing battery technology intended to power energy storage, vehicle, and equipment markets. Our target customers are consumer and commercial customers looking for energy storage solutions, vehicle manufacturers selling 20,000 and below vehicles per year looking for battery pack systems between 1.5KWh to over 300KWh in capacity, and equipment manufacturers looking for battery storage solutions to electrify their equipment systems which traditionally run off of internal combustion engine vehicles.

We’re developing technology that will power work. Our target customers for the Atlis XT are work vehicle fleet owners, individual buyers, and our target customers for the Atlis XP Platform are work vehicle and upfit vehicle manufacturers. We intend to add value for customers across multiple target industries, including construction, agriculture, and logistics.

The Atlis XT pickup truck will be Atlis Motor Vehicles’ flagship product, capable of up to 500 miles of range, up to 35,000 lbs. fifth wheel towing capability, and 15-minute charge time from 0-100%. The Atlis XT will be the first application of our core product offering, the Atlis XP Platform, our electric vehicle technology platform that is currently in development and is being designed for applications with work vehicles: RVs, box trucks, delivery vehicles, tractors, construction equipment, and beyond. Our modular design will allow the Atlis XP Platform to easily accommodate the sizes, shapes, and use cases of a variety of different work vehicles.

Volume targets
We will take a strategic approach to scale: first we will bring the battery cell and pack technology to market to drive early revenue as we work toward the launch of the XP Platform and XT pickup truck. We are in talks with multiple companies in construction, agriculture, and logistics industries, and we are working to deliver early trials in 2021. For calendar year 2021, our volume targets are: 50 AMV Battery Cells. In calendar year 2022 we’re targeting production of 50 XP Platforms and 150 XT Trucks, and 0.5Gigawatt hours of battery cell capacity.

Geographic sales territory
Ultimately, Atlis is building a technology platform that is intended to add value across the globe, and our long-term vision includes expansion to the rest of the world. We will begin manufacturing in the USA, and our initial sales focus is on the USA. We’ve signed an agreement with an Australian company called Australian Manufactured Vehicles for XT Trucks. We’ve also signed an agreement with a Brazilian company, and the opportunity is large enough to prioritize sales and infrastructure in Brazil. We have registered interest in battery packs for vehicles and energy storage solutions in France as well as New Zealand.

Distribution Channels

Our hardware and services will be conducted online via our website. Fleet and consumer customers will be able to purchase the Atlis XP Platform, Atlis XT Pickup Truck, and Atlis advanced charging solutions online. Our advanced charging infrastructure will require users to be able to purchase electricity at our charging stations. This purchase will be conducted through the cloud-based mobile application and website we plan to build.

Growth Strategy

Our strategy for growth is to focus on execution. We are completing testing and design for manufacturing the AMV battery cell. From there, we will stand up production and begin ramping battery cell manufacturing. We are also standing up battery pack manufacturing in parallel to battery cell manufacturing to meet current projected customer demand where customers have signed an LOI (letter of intent) and MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) for battery pack requests for the calendar year 2022. We are continuing the design work to deliver our production prototype of the XT Truck in the second half of 2022. We will begin initial hand-builds of the XT Truck and scale manual manufacturing with the intention of delivering 150 XT trucks by end of calendar year 2022. ATLIS will continue our growth strategy beyond 2022 as we continue to ramp production to ensure we meet our current forecasted demand of over 50,000 XT trucks as indicated by existing reservation interest.

Once we have started production, we plan to leverage influencer marketing and customer word of mouth to generate additional interest in our products.

We will develop a dedicated sales team pursuing larger fleet customers. Fleet purchases and fleet management will be completed through ATLIS Cloud services and connected vehicle systems.

Risk Factors

Our business and our ability to execute our business strategy are subject to a number of risks as more fully described in the section titled “Risk Factors.” These risks include, among others:

-   Atlis is a fledgling company without having developed any products in the past

-   Uncertainty exists as to whether Atlis will be able to raise sufficient funds to continue developing the XP platform and XT pickup truck

-   Future capital raises may dilute current stockholders’ ownership interests

-   Atlis will experience losses for the foreseeable future

-   Our intense capital requirements could be costly

-   Development timelines are at risk of delays outside of Atlis’ control

-   We may face regulatory challenges

-   We may not be able to successfully manage growth

-   Our growth rate may not meet our expectations

-   We may not be successful in developing an effective direct sales force

-   Raising capital may be costly

-   Atlis stock is not marketable and initial investors should be aware that the investment is speculative

-   Lack of diversification could cause you to lose all or some of your investment if initial products fail

-   Our executive officer and executive staff will retain most of Atlis’ voting rights

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY

ATLIS IS A FLEDGLING COMPANY

Atlis Motor Vehicles is a relatively new company that was incorporated on November 9th, 2016. If you are investing in this company, it's because you think the ATLIS’s business model is a good idea, and ATLIS will be able to successfully grow their 3 business units and become profitable. We have yet to fully develop or sell any electric vehicles. We are launching our Energy business and have yet to start mass manufacturing of battery cells and pack solutions. As of right now, aim to develop an electric truck that has no commercial contemporaries. In the meantime, other companies could develop successful alternatives. We have never turned a profit and there is no assurance that we will ever be profitable.

We also have no history in the automotive industry. Although Atlis has taken significant steps in building brand awareness, Atlis is a new company and currently has no experience developing or selling motor vehicles. As such, it is possible that Atlis Motor Vehicles’ lack of history in the industry may impact our brand, business, financial goals, operation performance, and products.

We should be considered a “Development Stage Company,” and our operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including, but not limited to, hurdles or barriers to the implementation of our business plans. Further, because there is no history of operations there is also no operating history from which to evaluate our executive management’s ability to manage our business and operations and achieve our goals or the likely performance of the Company. Prospective investors should also consider the fact that our management team has not previously developed or managed similar companies. No assurances can be given that we will be able to achieve or sustain profitability.

UNCERTAINTY EXISTS AS TO WHETHER OUR BUSINESS WILL HAVE SUFFICIENT FUNDS OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS, THEREBY MAKING AN INVESTMENT IN ATLIS SPECULATIVE.

We require additional financing to complete development and marketing of our AMV battery technology, XP Platform, and XT Truck until the products are in production and sufficient revenue can be generated for us to be self-sustaining. Our management projects that in order to effectively bring the products to market, that it will require significant funding over the next 12 months to cover costs involved in completing the prototype, getting the battery assembly line up and running, and beginning to develop a supply chain In the event that we are unable to generate sufficient revenues, and before all of the funds now held by us and obtained by us through this offering are expended, an investment made in Atlis may become worthless. 

If we cannot continue to raise further rounds of funding, we cannot succeed. Atlis will require additional rounds of funding to complete development and begin shipments of the Atlis XT pickup truck. If Atlis is unable to secure funding, we will be unable to succeed in our goal of developing the world’s best pickup truck. Atlis will require additional capital infusion to sustain operations. We predict that we will need to raise an additional $418 million dollars to finalize the prototype, obtain regulatory approvals, scale production, and continue lean production and sales for the following 4 years to our point of predicted profitability. If we are unable to raise adequate financing, we will be unable to sustain operations for a prolonged period of time.

We expect to significantly increase our spending to advance the development of our products and services and launch and commercialize the products for commercial sale. We will require additional capital for the further development and commercialization of our products, as well as to fund our other operating expenses and capital expenditures. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of one or more of our products and services. We may also seek collaborators for the products at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable or on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available. Any of these events could significantly harm our business, financial condition and prospects.

The expected gross offering proceeds may never be realized. While we believe that such proceeds will capitalize and sustain us to allow for the continued development and implementation of our business plan, if only a fraction of this Offering is sold, or if certain assumptions contained in the business plans prove to be incorrect, we may have inadequate funds to fully develop our business. Although we believe that the proceeds from this Offering will be sufficient to help sustain our development process and business operations, there is no guarantee that we will raise all the funds needed to adequately fund our business plan.

WE NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO MEET OUR FUTURE BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS AND SUCH CAPITAL RAISING MAY BE COSTLY OR DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN AND COULD DILUTE CURRENT STOCKHOLDERS’ OWNERSHIP INTERESTS.

We are seeking to raise $14,949,988 at a public price of $15.88 per share in this offering on a best-efforts basis to implement our plan and meet our capital needs for the next 6 months of operations. After estimated commissions and offering related expenses of $746,734 and bonus share value of $1,950,000, the total net proceeds to us would be $12,283,254. Additionally, we may sell equity shares in a private placement pursuant to Regulation D. We will use the proceeds from these offerings to prepare for production.  See the section entitled “Use of Proceeds” for a description of the manner in which we plan to use proceeds from this offering.  

We have relied upon cash from financing activities and in the future, we expect to rely on the proceeds from this Offering, future debt and/or equity financings, and we hope to rely on revenues generated from operations to fund all of the cash requirements of our activities. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate any significant cash from our operating activities in the future. Future financing may not be available on a timely basis, in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to the Class A common stock will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility.

Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations because we could lose our existing sources of funding and impair our ability to secure new sources of funding. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate any investor interest in its securities. If we do not obtain additional financing, our prototype will never be completed, in which case you would likely lose the entirety of your investment in us.

At this time, we have not secured or identified any additional financing.  We do not have any firm commitments or other identified sources of additional capital from third parties or from our officer and director or from other shareholders.  There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us, or that, if available, it will be on terms satisfactory to us.  Any additional financing will involve dilution to our existing shareholders.  If we do not obtain additional capital on terms satisfactory to us, or at all, it may cause us to delay, curtail, scale back or forgo some or all of our product development and/or business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results. In such a scenario, investors would be at risk of losing all or a part of any investment in our Company.

WE HAVE LOSSES WHICH WE EXPECT TO CONTINUE INTO THE FUTURE. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE OUR FUTURE OPERATIONS WILL RESULT IN A PROFIT.  IF WE CANNOT GENERATE SUFFICIENT REVENUES TO OPERATE PROFITABLY OR WE ARE UNABLE TO RAISE ENOUGH ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR OPERATIONS, THE SHAREHOLDERS WILL EXPERIENCE A DECREASE IN VALUE AND WE MAY HAVE TO CEASE OPERATIONS.

We are a development-stage technology company that began operating and commenced research and development activities in 2016. As a recently formed development-stage company, we are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties of a new business, including the risk that we may never develop, complete development or market any of our products or services and we may never generate product or services related revenues. Accordingly, we have only a limited history upon which an evaluation of our prospects and future performance can be made. We only have one product currently under development, which will require further development, significant marketing efforts and substantial investment before it and any successors could provide us with any revenue. As a result, if we do not successfully develop, market and commercialize our XT pickup truck on the XP platform, we will be unable to generate any revenue for many years, if at all. If we are unable to generate revenue, we will not become profitable, and we may be unable to continue our operations. Furthermore, our proposed operations are subject to all business risks associated with new enterprises. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the expansion of a business, operation in a competitive industry, and the continued development of advertising, promotions and a corresponding customer base. There can be no assurances that we will operate profitably. 

We expect to incur operating losses in future periods due to the high cost associated with developing an electric vehicle from the ground up.  We cannot be sure that we will be successful in generating revenues in the near future and in the event we are unable to generate sufficient revenues or raise additional funds we will analyze all avenues of business opportunities.  Management may consider a merger, acquisition, joint venture, strategic alliance, a roll-up, or other business combination to increase business and potentially increase the liquidity of the Company.  Such a business combination may ultimately fail, decreasing the liquidity of the Company and shareholder value or cause us to cease operations, and investors would be at risk to lose all or part of their investment in us.

COMPETITION MAY CROWD THE MARKET

We face significant barriers in the development of a competitive EV in a crowded market space. Atlis Motor Vehicles faces significant technical, resource, and financial barriers in development of a battery electric vehicle intended to compete in a crowded pickup truck space. Incumbents, also known as legacy manufacturers, have substantially deeper pockets, larger pools of resources, and more significant manufacturing experience. Atlis will need to contract with development partners who may have existing relationships with incumbent manufacturers, these relationships may pose a significant risk in our ability to successfully develop this program. The Atlis product is differentiated from all currently announced electric trucks in that it will be a full-size, heavy-duty truck with capabilities that match or exceed internal combustion trucks of the same size. However, we have a lot of work to do before we reach production. There is a chance that other competitors may release similar full-sized electric trucks before we exit the research and development phase. If several competitors release full-sized electric trucks before Atlis, it will be exceedingly difficult to penetrate the market.

There are several potential competitors who are better positioned than we are to take the market at an earlier time than ATLIS. We will compete with larger, established Automotive Manufacturers who currently have products on the markets and/or various respective product development programs. They have much better financial means and marketing/sales and human resources than us. They may succeed in developing and marketing competing equivalent products earlier than us, or superior products than those developed by us. There can be no assurance that competitors will not render our technology or products obsolete or that the plug-in electric pickup truck developed by us will be preferred to any existing or newly developed technologies. It should further be assumed that that competition will intensify. Atlis Motor Vehicles' success depends on our ability to continuously raise funding, keep cost under control, and properly execute in our delivery of the Atlis Motor Vehicles XT pickup truck, Atlis Motor Vehicles XP truck platform, and Advanced Charging Station.

In order to be competitive, we must have the ability to respond promptly and efficiently to the ever-changing marketplace.  We must establish our name as a reliable and constant source for professional conversion and transmission services. Any significant increase in competitors or competitors with better, more efficient services could make it more difficult for us to gain market share or establish and generate revenues.   We may not be able to compete effectively on these or other factors.

RELIABLE SUPPLIERS MAY BE HARD TO FIND

As Atlis does not currently manufacture any products at scale, we may be starting from scratch in creating and developing supplier relationships. Currently, most major suppliers have agreements with legacy manufacturers that far exceed the scale and volume at which Atlis will operate. While we intend to make as many components in-house as possible, we will have to rely on third party suppliers to manufacture some of our components and specifications. Without having already developed these relationships, we may encounter challenges in ensuring we receive the quality parts we need at the price and volume required. These supplier challenges may result in unintended delays and/or product inferiority.

SCALING UP MANUFACTURING WILL BE A CHALLENGE

Electric Vehicle Technology is changing rapidly There is significant development and investment into electric vehicle technology being made today. Such rapidly changing technology conditions may adversely affect Atlis Motor Vehicles' ability to continuously remain a market leader, provide superior product performance, and an outstanding customer experience. If we are unable to control the cost of development, cost of manufacturing, and cost of operations, Atlis may be substantially affected. If we are unable to maintain substantially lower cost of manufacturing, developing, design, distributing, and maintaining our vehicles, we may incur significant cost increases which can be material substantial to the operation of our business. We have made, and will continue to make substantial investments into the development of Atlis Motor Vehicles, such investments may have unforeseen costs that we have been unable to accurately predict, which may significantly impact our ability to execute our business as planned. Atlis will face significant costs in development and purchasing of materials required to build the XT pickup truck, XP truck platform, and Advanced Charging Station through external partnerships. These purchases are subject to conditions outside the control of Atlis Motor Vehicles and as such, these conditions may substantially affect our business, product, brand, operational, and financial goals. 

Atlis will continuously and diligently work towards obtaining multiple sources of materials and components to mitigate risk in our supply chain. However, it is possible that specific components or solutions required to manufacture an electric vehicle may be subject to intellectual property, material availability, or expertise owned solely by a single supplier. A condition such as a single source supplier may hinder our ability to secure the cost, schedule, and long term viability of Atlis Motor Vehicles XT pickup truck, XP truck platform, or Advanced Charging Station. We may be inherently subjected to conditions which permit only a single source supplier for specific components necessary to develop and manufacture the Atlis Motor Vehicles XT pickup truck, XP truck platform, and Advanced Charging Station, magnifying this risk.

UNFORESEEN FACTORS MAY ADJUST TIMELINES

Any valuation of Atlis at this stage is pure speculation. Atlis Motor Vehicles’ business success, timeline, and milestones are estimations. Atlis’ production projections, sales volume, and cost models are only estimates. Atlis produced these valuations based on existing business models of successful and unsuccessful efforts of other companies within the technology and automotive industries. All such projections and timeline estimations may change as Atlis continues in development of a plug-in electric vehicle, charging station and manufacturing facilities.

We are currently in the development phase of the Atlis Motor Vehicles XT pickup truck and have not yet started manufacturing and sales. Cost overruns, scheduling delays, and failure to meet product performance goals may be caused by, but not limited to, unidentified technical hurdles, delays in material shipments, and regulatory hurdles. We may experience delays in design and manufacturing of the Atlis XT pickup truck We may experience significant delays in bringing the Atlis Motor Vehicles XT pickup truck to market due to design considerations, technical challenges, material availability, manufacturing complications, and regulatory considerations. Such delays could materially damage our brand, business, financial goals, operation results, and product.

NATURAL RESOURCE SCARCITY MAY CAUSE DELAYS

Our projections are based on an ability to secure requisite levels of natural resources to produce the number of battery cells and battery packs necessary to meet our production goals. Two of the main natural resources in battery chemistry are lithium and cobalt. Given that these are scarce resources, there is a chance that we are unable to secure enough to meet our battery production goals. If this happens, we will not meet our overall production or profitability estimates. To mitigate this risk, we will explore opportunities to purchase futures to hedge against natural resource cost inflation and/or scarcity.

COMPANY GROWTH DEPENDS ON AVOIDING BATTERY PRODUCTION BOTTLENECKS

Our Company’s success is highly dependent upon our ability to produce battery cells and packs at high levels of volume and low cost. If the Company is unable to produce enough battery cells and packs, for any reason, it would result in the Company missing its overall production and profitability estimates. To avoid the risk of catastrophic battery bottlenecks, the Company intends to explore options for outsourcing some of the battery production to diversify its battery sourcing. 

A PRODUCT RECALL COULD CRIPPLE GROWTH

If the Atlis Motor Vehicles' XT pickup truck, XP truck platform, or Advanced Charging Station are unable to meet performance and quality criteria, we may be required to perform product recalls to address said concerns. A product recall can have substantial cost related to performing such corrective actions. Although Atlis will perform significant internal testing and qualifications, as well as external qualifications through approved 3rd party vendors against industry standards and regulatory requirements, there will be unperceived conditions which may negatively impact the customer or Company expected performance and safety of our vehicles. As such, Atlis may perform a corrective action such as a recall of products, mandatory repairs of defective components, or litigation settlements which can materially affect our financial goals, operation results, brand, business, and products. If we are unable to provide significant charging stations, our business success may be substantially affected.

A significant portion of our success is our ability to deploy the appropriate number of charging stations, in strategic locations relative to our customers and customer behaviors. If Atlis is unable to deploy charging stations to specified locations, this may negatively affect our brand, business, financial goals, operational results, and product success in the market. As such, to meet said availability requirements, Atlis will require significant capital investments to rapidly deploy said Advanced Charging Stations, as well as development of relationships with third party members who can assist in deployment of said charging stations. If we are unable to address service requirements, we may negatively affect our customer experience. As such, Atlis Motor Vehicles will require service capabilities to be established in locations within close proximity to our XT pickup truck and XP truck platform owners. Atlis Motor Vehicles' ability to engage with 3rd party operating service stations, as well as our ability to establish company operated locations, will be critical to the success of developing a positive customer experience.

PRODUCT LIABILITY

While Atlis will work diligently to meet all company and regulatory safety requirements, there is a chance that a component catastrophically fails. It is possible that through unknown circumstances or conditions out of our control, some person is injured by our product. The risk of product liability claims, and adverse publicity can always occur when manufacturing, developing, marketing, and selling a brand-new product that was developed from scratch. If a customer or other party were to be injured by an Atlis product, the ensuing litigation costs and reputational damage could be irreparable.

WE MAY FACE REGULATORY CHALLENGES

We are substantially at risk of unfavorable governmental regulations. Motor vehicles are subject to substantial regulation under international, federal, state, local and foreign laws regarding safety, performance, and import regulations. Our vehicles will need to comply with many governmental standards and regulations relating to vehicle safety, fuel economy, emissions control, noise control, and vehicle recycling, among others. Compliance with all of these requirements may delay our production launch, thereby adversely affecting our business and financial condition.

Additionally, there is a chance that some economically advantageous governmental incentives or subsidies will be removed or repealed before our product reaches production. Such changes to the governmental regulatory structure could have an adverse effect on profitability. 

IF WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO INNOVATE, OUR REVENUE GROWTH RATE AND PROFITS MAY BE REDUCED

To successfully develop and grow our business, we must develop, distribute and commercialize our products, secure strategic partnerships with various businesses, and bring our products to market on schedule and in a profitable manner, as well as spend time and resources on the development of future products, services and business strategies that are complementary to our initial electric vehicle and business plan. Delays or failures in launch of the XT pickup could hurt our ability to meet our growth objectives, which may affect our financial projections and may impact our stock price. Moreover, if we are unable to continually develop and evolve our business strategy and launch additional products and services in the future, our business will be entirely dependent on the success of the XT Pickup, which could hurt our ability to meet our objectives. We cannot guarantee that the XT pickup will be able to achieve our expansion goals alone. Our ability to expand successfully will depend on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control.

WE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY PROTECTING OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Our pending patents and other intellectual property could be unenforceable or ineffective once patent reviews are completed. We anticipate patent review completion and patents issued in calendar years 2021, 2022, and 2023 based on the typical two-year process between filing and issuing. We have continued to file patent applications throughout 2021 and plan to continue filing new patents over time. We have filed these patents privately and the scope of what they cover remains confidential until they are issued. For any company creating brand new products, it is imperative to protect the proprietary intellectual property to maintain a competitive advantage. There is no doubt that a significant portion of Atlis’s current value depends on the strength and imperviousness of these pending patents. We intend to continue to file additional patent applications and build our intellectual property portfolio as we discover new technologies related to the development of plug-in electric vehicles.

We believe that intellectual property will be critical to our success, and that we will rely on trademark, copyright and patent law, trade secret protection and confidentiality and/or license agreements to protect our proprietary rights. If we are not successful in protecting our intellectual property, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. While we believe that we will be issued trademarks, patents and pending patent applications help to protect our business, there can be no assurance that our operations do not, or will not, infringe valid, enforceable third-party patents of third parties or that competitors will not devise new methods of competing with us that are not covered by our anticipated patent applications. There can also be no assurance that our patent applications will be approved, that any patents issued will adequately protect our intellectual property, or that such patents will not be challenged by third parties or found to be invalid or unenforceable or that our patents will be effective in preventing third parties from utilizing a copycat business model to offer the same service in one or more categories. Moreover, it is intended that we will rely on intellectual property and technology developed or licensed by third parties, and we may not be able to obtain or continue to obtain licenses and technologies from these third parties at all or on reasonable terms. Effective trademark, service mark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which our intended services will be provided. The laws of certain countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. and, therefore, in certain jurisdictions, we may be unable to protect our proprietary technology adequately against unauthorized third party copying or use, which could adversely affect our competitive position. We expect to license in the future, certain proprietary rights, such as trademarks or copyrighted material, to third parties. These licensees may take actions that might diminish the value of our proprietary rights or harm our reputation, even if we have agreements prohibiting such activity. Also, to the extent third parties are obligated to indemnify us for breaches of our intellectual property rights, these third parties may be unable to meet these obligations. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.  

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and various foreign governmental patent agencies require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment and other provisions during the patent process. There are situations in which noncompliance can result in abandonment or lapse of a patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. In such an event, competitors might be able to enter the market earlier than would otherwise have been the case, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION IS COSTLY.

Filing, prosecuting and defending patents related to our products and software throughout the world is prohibitively expensive. Competitors may use our technologies in jurisdictions where we have not obtained patent protection to develop their own products and, further, may export otherwise infringing products to territories where we have patent protection, but where enforcement is not as strong as that in the U.S. These products may compete with our products in jurisdictions where we do not have any issued or licensed patents and our patent claims or other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from so competing. Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of certain countries, particularly certain developing countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents and other intellectual property protection, particularly those relating to technology, which could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement of our patents or marketing of competing products in violation of our proprietary rights generally. Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial cost and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business.

CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS MAY NOT ADEQUATELY PREVENT DISCLOSURE OF TRADE SECRETS AND OTHER PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

We anticipate that a substantial amount of our processes and technologies will be protected by trade secret laws. To protect these technologies and processes, we intend to rely in part on confidentiality agreements with our employees, licensees, independent contractors and other advisors. These agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of confidential information, including trade secrets, and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. In addition, others may independently discover our trade secrets and proprietary information, and in such cases, we could not assert any trade secret rights against such parties. To the extent that our employees, contractors or other third parties with which we do business use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting know-how and inventions. Laws regarding trade secret rights in certain markets in which we operate may afford little or no protection to our trade secrets. The loss of trade secret protection could make it easier for third parties to compete with our products and related future products and services by copying functionality, among other things. In addition, any changes in, or unexpected interpretations of, the trade secret and other intellectual property laws in any country in which we operate may compromise our ability to enforce our trade secret and intellectual property rights. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could adversely affect our business, revenue, reputation and competitive position.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL AND STATE PRIVACY LAWS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS

A variety of federal and state laws and regulations govern the collection, use, retention, sharing and security of consumer data. The existing privacy-related laws and regulations are evolving and subject to potentially differing interpretations. In addition, various federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatory bodies may expand current or enact new laws regarding privacy matters. Several internet companies have recently incurred penalties for failing to abide by the representations made in their privacy policies and practices. In addition, several states have adopted legislation that requires businesses to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices to protect sensitive personal information and to provide notice to consumers in the event of a security breach. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with our posted privacy policies or with any data-related consent orders, Federal Trade Commission requirements or orders or other federal, state or international privacy or consumer protection-related laws, regulations or industry self-regulatory principles could result in claims, proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others or other liabilities, which could adversely affect our business. In addition, a failure or perceived failure to comply with industry standards or with our own privacy policies and practices could adversely affect our business. Federal and state governmental authorities continue to evaluate the privacy implications inherent in the use of third-party web “cookies” for behavioral advertising. The regulation of these cookies and other current online advertising practices could adversely affect our business

WE ARE DEPENDENT UPON OUR CEO FOR HIS SERVICES AND ANY INTERRUPTION IN HIS ABILITY TO PROVIDE HIS SERVICES COULD CAUSE US TO CEASE OPERATIONS.

The loss of the services of our CEO, Mr. Mark Hanchett, could have a material adverse effect on us.  We do not maintain any key man life insurance on Mr. Hanchett.  The loss of Mr. Hanchett’s services could cause investors to lose all or a part of their investment. Our future success will also depend on our ability to attract, retain and motivate other highly skilled employees. Competition for personnel in our industry is intense. We may not be able to retain our key employees or attract, assimilate or retain other highly qualified employees in the future. If we do not succeed in attracting new personnel or retaining and motivating our current personnel, our business will be adversely affected.

WE HAVE NO LONG-TERM EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS IN PLACE WITH OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

As of the date of this Offering Circular we only have short-term, interim employment arrangements with our senior executive officers. We are negotiating compensation packages and the terms of long-term formal employment agreements with our executive officers, and we anticipate any such employment agreement entered into with our executive officers will be on terms no less favorable to our executive officers than the terms of their respective interim arrangement.

There is a risk that the Company and any one or more of our executive officers will not reach an agreement with respect to their employment agreements, in part because we expect their compensation packages will be comprised of cash compensation, equity compensation (e.g. stock options, warrants or stock grants), as well as standard benefits and other terms customary for executive officers of similar experience and tenure. Although we intend to finalize negotiations with respect to these employment agreements with each of our executive officers in the near future, if we fail to reach mutually satisfactory agreements in this regard, any one or more of such persons may terminate their association with the Company. Additionally, we are also highly dependent on certain consultants and service providers, including our development partners and our marketing and advertising service providers, some of which are affiliates of the Company and our officers and directors. The loss of any one or more of these experienced executives, consultants, service providers and/or development partners would have a material and adverse effect on our Company and our business prospects

WE ARE SIGNIFICANTLY INFLUENCED BY OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

In the aggregate, ownership of the Company’s shares of common stock by management and affiliated parties, assuming the sale of the Maximum Offering, will represent approximately 94 % of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. These shareholders, if acting together, will be able to significantly influence all matters requiring approval by shareholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other business combinations transactions. Please see “Security Ownership of Management & Certain Security Holders” below for more information. 

Our future performance is dependent on the ability to retain key personnel. The Company’s performance is substantially dependent on the performance of senior management. The loss of the services of any of its executive officers or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY A DOWNTURN IN THE ECONOMY AND/OR MANUFACTURING.

We are dependent upon the continued demand for electric vehicles, making our business susceptible to a downturn in the economy or in manufacturing. For example, a decrease in the number of individuals investing their money in the equity markets could result in a decrease in the number of companies deciding to become or remain public. This downturn could have a material adverse effect on our business, our ability to raise funds, our production, and ultimately our overall financial condition.

OUR BUSINESS WOULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO CREATE AND DEVELOP AN EFFECTIVE DIRECT SALES FORCE.

Because a significant component of our growth strategy relates to increasing our revenues through sales to companies and individuals subject to the SEC disclosure and reporting requirements, our business would be adversely affected if we were unable to develop and maintain an effective sales force to market our products directly to consumers. Further complicating this matter, many states have prohibited direct to consumer vehicle sales. Atlis will need to be effective at converting online interest into hard sales. We currently do not employ any sales staff to sell our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY MANAGE OUR GROWTH.

We could experience growth over a short period of time, which could put a significant strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources.  We must implement and constantly improve our certification processes and hire, train and manage qualified personnel to manage such growth. We have limited resources and may be unable to manage our growth. Our business strategy is based on the assumption that our customer base, geographic coverage and service offerings will increase. If this occurs it will place a significant strain on our managerial, operational, and financial resources.  If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our business will be adversely affected. As part of this growth, we may have to implement new operational, manufacturing, and financial systems and procedures and controls to expand, train and manage our employees, especially in the areas of manufacturing and sales. If we fail to develop and maintain our people and processes as we experience our anticipated growth, demand for our products and our revenues could decrease.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES

To remain competitive, we must continue to enhance our products and software. The evolving nature of the electric vehicle industry, which is characterized by rapid technological change, c, frequent new product and service introductions and the emergence of new industry standards and practices, could render our existing systems, software, and services obsolete. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to develop, innovate, license or acquire leading technologies useful in our business, enhance our existing solutions, develop new solutions and technology that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our current and prospective customers, and respond to technological advances and emerging industry and regulatory standards and practices in a cost-effective and timely manner. Future advances in technology may not be beneficial to, or compatible with, our business. Furthermore, we may not successfully use new technologies effectively or adapt our proprietary technology and hardware to emerging industry standards on a timely basis. Our ability to remain technologically competitive may require substantial expenditures and lead time. If we are unable to adapt in a timely manner to changing market conditions or user requirements, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed 

IF WE DO NOT SUCCESSFULLY ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN OUR COMPANY AS A HIGHLY TRUSTED AND RESPECTED NAME FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES, WE COULD SUSTAIN LOSS OF REVENUES, WHICH COULD SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

In order to attract and retain a client base and increase business, we must establish, maintain and strengthen our name and the services we provide. In order to be successful in establishing our reputation, clients must perceive us as a trusted source for quality services. If we are unable to attract and retain clients with our current marketing plans, we may not be able to successfully establish our name and reputation, which could significantly affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

OTHER MANUFACTURERS MAY BEAT US TO MARKET

Earlier in 2021, Ford announced the arrival of its F-150 Lightning electric truck. Chevrolet is anticipated to announce its electric Silverado in 2022. Rivian will release their R1T mid-size pickup truck by end of year 2021, Tesla will release their cybertruck in 2022, and Lordstown Motors will release their pickup truck by end of year 2021. While we believe we have a superior product in terms of both design and performance, the other auto makers have much more bargaining power and deeper pockets than us. There is a chance that consumers adopt competitor electric trucks before Atlis can bring its XT pickup truck to market. While other manufacturers focus on mid-size and class 1 pickup trucks ATLIS will focus on Class 2 and 3 markets, while offering a vehicle option for Class 1 customers.

SMALL PUBLIC COMPANIES ARE INHERENTLY RISKY AND WE MAY BE EXPOSED TO MARKET FACTORS BEYOND OUR CONTROL. IF SUCH EVENTS WERE TO OCCUR IT MAY RESULT IN A LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT.  

Managing a small public company involves a high degree of risk. Few small public companies ever reach market stability and we will be subject to oversight from governing bodies and regulations that will be costly to meet.  Our present officer has limited experience in managing a fully reporting public company, so we may be forced to obtain outside consultants to assist us with meeting these requirements.  These outside consultants are expensive and can have a direct impact on our ability to be profitable.  This will make an investment in our Company a highly speculative and risky investment.

LIMITATIONS OF DIRECTOR LIABILITY AND DIRECTOR AND OFFICER INDEMNIFICATION

Our Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability for any:

These limitations of liability do not apply to liabilities arising under the federal or state securities laws and do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. Our corporate bylaws (“Bylaws”) provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our Bylaws also provide that we are obligated to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding. We believe that these Bylaw provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. The limitation of liability in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might provide a benefit to us and our stockholders. Our results of operations and financial condition may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

RISKS OF BORROWING

As of the date of this Offering Circular, we have incurred certain debt obligations in the ordinary course of our business. While we don’t intend to incur any additional debt from the equity commitments provided in this Offering, should we obtain secure bank debt in the future, possible risks could arise. If we incur additional indebtedness, a portion of our future revenues will have to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness. Typical loan agreements also might contain restrictive covenants, which may impair our operating flexibility. Such loan agreements would also provide for default under certain circumstances, such as failure to meet certain financial covenants. A default under a loan agreement could result in the loan becoming immediately due and payable and, if unpaid, a judgment in favor of such lender which would be senior to our rights. A judgment creditor would have the right to foreclose on any of our assets resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, ability to generate revenue, operating results or financial condition.

UNANTICIPATED OBSTACLES

Our business plan may change significantly. Many of our potential business endeavors are capital intensive and may be subject to statutory or regulatory requirements. Our Board of Directors believes that the chosen activities and strategies are achievable in light of current economic and legal conditions with the skills, background, and knowledge of our principals and advisors. Our Board of Directors reserve the right to make significant modifications to our stated strategies depending on future events.

RISKS OF OPERATIONS

Our future operating results may be volatile, difficult to predict and may fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which may be outside of our control. Due to the nature of our target market, we may be unable to accurately forecast our future revenues and operating results. Furthermore, our failure to generate revenues would prevent us from achieving and maintaining profitability. There are no assurances that we can generate significant revenue or achieve profitability. We anticipate having a sizeable amount of fixed expenses, and we expect to incur losses due to the execution of our business strategy, continued development efforts and related expenses. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues while containing costs and operating expenses if we are to achieve profitability. We cannot be certain that we will ever achieve sufficient revenue levels to achieve profitability. 

WE WILL INCUR INCREASED COSTS AS A RESULT OF BECOMING A PUBLIC COMPANY.

We have plans to become a publicly traded company in the U.S. As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. We will incur costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. We also anticipate that we will incur costs associated with recently adopted corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules implemented by the SEC and the National Association of Securities Dealers (the “NASD”). We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We also expect these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, if we can obtain such insurance at all.  We may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar liability coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these new rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

As a new company, particularly a Delaware corporation, we may experience some difficulty in compliance with complex regulatory requirements. In early 2022, we discovered some technical deficiencies in corporate filings with the State of Delaware. While we filed a Section 204 ratification in April 2022 to ratify all prior corporate actions, we may experience additional corporate governance difficulties in the future.

NO MINIMUM CAPITALIZATION

We do not have a minimum capitalization and we may use the proceeds from this Offering immediately following our acceptance of the corresponding subscription agreements. It is possible we may only raise a minimum amount of capital, which could leave us with insufficient capital to implement our business plan, potentially resulting in greater operating losses unless we are able to raise the required capital from alternative sources. There is no assurance that alternative capital, if needed, would be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

HUMAN RESOURCES

We currently have less than 50 employees and have not fully established formal human resources processes and procedures. We also have minimal operational infrastructure and no prior operating history. We intend to rely on our management team, our advisors, third-party consultants, third-party developers, service providers, technology partners, outside attorneys, advisors, accountants, auditors, and other administrators. The loss of services of any of such personnel may have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

LIMITATION ON REMEDIES; INDEMNIFICATION

Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time, provides that officers, directors, employees and other agents and their affiliates shall only be liable to the Company and its shareholders for losses, judgments, liabilities and expenses that result from the fraud or other breach of fiduciary obligations. Additionally, we intend to enter into corporate indemnification agreements with each of our officers and directors consistent with industry practice. Thus, certain alleged errors or omissions might not be actionable by the Company. Our governing instruments also provide that, under the broadest circumstances allowed under law, we must indemnify its officers, directors, employees and other agents and their affiliates for losses, judgments, liabilities, expenses and amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained by them in connection with the Company, including liabilities under applicable securities laws. 

FORCE MAJEURE

Our business is uniquely susceptible to unforeseen delays or failures that are caused by forces of nature and related circumstances. These factors are outside and beyond our control. The delay or failure to complete the development and testing of our XP Platform or XT Pickup and the commercial release of related services may be due to any act of God, fire, war, terrorism, flood, strike, labor dispute, disaster, transportation or laboratory difficulties or any similar or dissimilar event beyond our control. We will not be held liable to any shareholder in the event of any such failure. However, a court of competent jurisdiction may determine that we are still liable to shareholders for catastrophic failures proximately caused by forces of nature outside of our control. If such a court so decides, Atlis may have significant shareholder liability exposure.

COVID-19 GLOBAL PANDEMIC

Similar to force majeure, our company is susceptible to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the pandemic, our workforce may have to work remotely for an extended period of time. Being forced to work remotely may cause unforeseen delays in development.

Additionally, an extended pandemic may wreak havoc on international automotive supply chains. If the pandemic makes it difficult for us to source components from suppliers, we may be forced to develop and manufacture certain components ourselves, which would likely result in further delays and cost overruns. We will not be held liable to any shareholder in the event of any delays or catastrophic failures proximately caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, a court of competent jurisdiction may determine that we are still liable to shareholders for catastrophic failures proximately caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. If such a court so decides, Atlis may have significant shareholder liability exposure.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OFFERING

THERE IS NO FIRM COMMITMENT TO PURCHASE THE CLASS A SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK BEING OFFERED, AND AS A RESULT INITIAL INVESTORS ASSUME ADDITIONAL RISK.

This is a best effort, no minimum offering of Class A shares of our Class A common stock being conducted solely by certain members of our management.  There is no commitment by anyone to purchase any of the Class A shares being offered.  We cannot give any assurance that any or all of the Class A shares will be sold.  There is no minimum and we will retain any amount of proceeds received from the sale of the Class A shares.  Moreover, there is no assurance that our estimate of our liquidity needs is accurate or that new business development or other unforeseen events will not occur, resulting in the need to raise additional funds.  As this offering is a best efforts financing, there is no assurance that this financing will be completed or that any future financing will be affected.  Initial investors assume additional risk on whether the offering will be fully subscribed and how the Company will utilize the proceeds. 

THE SECURITIES BEING OFFERED ARE RESTRICTED CLASS A SHARES OF OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK AND AN INVESTMENT IN OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK WILL BE ILLIQUID.

We are offering Class A shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act which imposes substantial restrictions on the transfer of such securities.  All certificates which evidence the Class A shares will be inscribed with a printed legend which clearly describes the applicable restrictions on transfer or resale by the owner thereof.  Accordingly, each investor should be aware of the long-term illiquid nature of his investment.  In no event may such securities be sold, pledged, hypothecated, assigned or otherwise transferred unless such securities are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or we received an opinion of counsel that an exemption from registration is available with respect thereto.  Rule 144, the primary exemption for resales of restricted securities is only available for securities of issuers providing current information to the public.  While we will be required to make such information available should we conduct an additional public offering, and assuming such public offering is in fact successfully carried out, we do not currently make such information available precluding reliance on Rule 144.  Thus, each investor should be prepared to bear the risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time.  See the sections entitled “Description of Securities” and “Placement of the Offering”.

THERE IS CURRENTLY NO MARKET FOR OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK, AND WE DO NOT EXPECT THAT A MARKET WILL DEVELOP IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE MAKING AN INVESTMENT IN OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK ILLIQUID.

Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for our Class A common stock. We cannot predict the extent to which an active market for our Class A common stock will develop or be sustained after this Offering, or how the development of such a market might affect the market price of our Class A common stock. The offering price of our Class A common stock in this offering is based on a number of factors, including market conditions in effect at the time of the offering, and it may not be in any way indicative of the price at which our shares will trade following the completion of this offering.

We anticipate that we will apply for quoting of our Class A common stock on the OTC Markets or an approved secondary marketplace upon the qualification of the offering statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part. However, there can be no assurance that our Class A common stock shares will be quoted. If no active trading market for our Class A common stock develops or is sustained following this Offering, you may be unable to sell your shares when you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider attractive or satisfactory. The lack of an active market may also adversely affect our ability to raise capital by selling securities in the future, or impair our ability to license or acquire other product candidates, businesses or technologies using our shares as consideration.

Investors may not be able to resell their shares at or above the offering price. We do not expect that a market for our stock will develop at any time in the foreseeable future.  The lack of a market may impair the ability to sell Class A shares at the time investors wish to sell them or at a price considered to be reasonable. As such, Atlis investors should not expect to have the ability to liquidate their positions in Atlis any time in the near future. 

EVEN IF A MARKET DEVELOPS FOR OUR CLASS A SHARES, OUR CLASS A SHARES MAY BE THINLY TRADED WITH WIDE SHARE PRICE FLUCTUATIONS, LOW SHARE PRICES AND MINIMAL LIQUIDITY. WE MAY UTILIZE AN ALTERNATIVE TRADING SYSTEM.

If a market for our Class A shares develops, the share price may be volatile with wide fluctuations in response to several factors, including:

∙   Potential investors’ anticipated feeling regarding our results of operations;

∙   Increased competition;

∙   Our ability or inability to generate future revenues; and

∙   Market perception of the future of development of electric vehicles.

Our Class A common stock may not be freely quoted for trading on any stock exchange or through any other traditional trading platform. Our common stock may be issued, available for purchase and may be traded exclusively on a specific trading system that is registered with the SEC as an alternative trading system (an “ATS”). We do not currently have any plans to trade our common stock on a specific ATS. Any disruption to the operations of an ATS or a broker-dealer's customer interface with an ATS would materially disrupt trading in, or potentially result in a complete halt in the trading of, our common stock. Because our common stock may be traded exclusively on a closed trading system, it is a possibility that there will be a limited number of holders of our common stock. In addition, an ATS is likely to experience limited trading volume with a relatively small number of securities trading on the ATS platform as compared to securities trading on traditional securities exchanges or trading platforms. As a result, this novel trading system may have limited liquidity, resulting in a lower or higher price or greater volatility than would be the case with greater liquidity. You may not be able to resell your common stock on a timely basis or at all.

While we understand that many ATS platforms have adopted policies and procedures such that security holders are not free to manipulate the trading price of securities contrary to applicable law, and while the risk of market manipulation exists in connection with the trading of any securities, the risk may be greater for our Class A common stock because the ATS we choose may be a closed system that does not have the same breadth of market and liquidity as the national market system. There can be no assurance that the efforts by an ATS to prevent such behavior will be sufficient to prevent such market manipulation.

Unlike the more expansive listing requirements, policies and procedures of the Nasdaq Global Market and other trading platforms, there are no minimum price requirements and limited listing requirements for securities to be traded on an ATS. As a result, trades of our Class A common stock on an ATS may not be at prices that represent the national best bid or offer prices of securities that could be considered similar securities.

WE ARBITRARILY DETERMINED THE OFFERING PRICE AND THERE HAS BEEN NO INDEPENDENT VALUATION OF THE STOCK, WHICH MEANS THAT THE STOCK MAY BE WORTH LESS THAN THE PURCHASE PRICE.

The offering price of the Class A shares of common stock has been arbitrarily determined without independent valuation, based on estimates of the price that purchasers of speculative securities, such as our Class A common stock, will be willing to pay considering our nature and capital structure, the experience of the officers and directors and the market conditions for the sale of equity securities in similar companies. The price of the Class A shares of common stock is based upon our internal valuation of the Company using a discounted cash flow of future revenue projections. We have not obtained an independent third party review of our projections.  The offering price of the Class A shares bears no relationship to our assets, earnings or book value, or any other objective or quantifiable standard of value and thus the Class A shares may have a value significantly less than the offering price and the shares may never obtain a value equal to or greater than the offering price. See the section entitled “Placement of the Offering” elsewhere in this memorandum. 

THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR CLASS A CLASS A COMMON STOCK SHARES MAY FLUCTUATE, AND YOU COULD LOSE ALL OR PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT

The offering price for our Class A Class A common stock shares is based on a number of factors. The price of these shares may decline following this Offering. The stock market in general, and the market price of our shares will likely be subject to fluctuation, whether due to, or irrespective of, our operating results, financial condition and prospects. Our financial performance, our industry’s overall performance, changing consumer preferences, technologies and advertiser requirements, government regulatory action, tax laws and market conditions in general could have a significant impact on the future market price of our Class A common stock. Some of the other factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in our share price includes:

YOU WILL INCUR SUBSTANTIAL AND IMMEDIATE DILUTION OF THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR YOUR CLASS A SHARES IN THIS OFFERING.

The offering price of our Class A common stock is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of the outstanding Class A common stock issued after this offering.  Therefore, if you purchase Class A shares of our Class A common stock in this offering, you will incur substantial immediate dilution in the net tangible book value per share of Class A common stock from the price you pay for such share.

WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE DIVIDENDS TO BE PAID ON OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK AND INVESTORS MAY LOSE THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF THEIR INVESTMENT.

A dividend has never been declared or paid in cash on our Class A common stock and we do not anticipate such a declaration or payment for the foreseeable future. We expect to use future earnings, if any, to fund business growth. Therefore, stockholders will not receive any funds absent a sale of their Class A shares. We cannot assure stockholders of a positive return on their investment when they sell their Class A shares nor can we assure that stockholders will not lose the entire amount of their investment. Any payment of dividends on our capital stock will depend on our earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such a time as the board of directors may consider it relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our Class A common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if the common stock price appreciates. 

OUR LACK OF BUSINESS DIVERSIFICATION COULD CAUSE YOU TO LOSE ALL OR SOME OF YOUR INVESTMENT IF WE ARE UNABLE TO GENERATE REVENUES FROM OUR PRIMARY PRODUCTS.

Our business consists of developing and manufacturing electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. We do not have any other lines of business or other sources of revenue if we are unable to compete effectively in the marketplace. This lack of business diversification could cause you to lose all or some of your investment if we are unable to generate revenues since we do not expect to have any other lines of business or alternative revenue sources.

SALES OF OUR CLASS A CLASS A COMMON STOCK UNDER RULE 144 COULD REDUCE THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK

In general, persons holding “restricted securities,” including affiliates, must hold their shares for a period of at least six (6) months, may not sell more than one percent (1%) of the total issued and outstanding shares in any ninety (90) day period, and must resell the shares in an unsolicited brokerage transaction at the market price.

However, Rule 144 will only be available for resale in the ninety (90) days after the Company files its semi-annual reports on Form 1-SA and annual reports on Form 1-K, unless the Company voluntarily files interim quarterly reports on Form 1-U, which the Company has not yet decided to do. The availability for sale of substantial amounts of Class A common stock under Rule 144 could reduce prevailing market prices for our securities.

WE HAVE MINIMAL CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEES, SO SHAREHOLDERS WILL HAVE TO RELY ON OUR DIRECTORSTO PERFORM THESE FUNCTIONS

We have not yet established an audit committee, compensation committee or other corporate governance committees composed of independent directors. The Board performs these functions as a whole and one member of the Board is an independent director. Thus, there is a potential conflict in that board members who are also part of management will participate in discussions concerning management compensation and audit issues that may affect management decisions.

FAILURE TO MAINTAIN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING WOULD HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON US

We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, management's assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure of management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure of our public accounting firm's attestation to or report on management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our Class A Class A common stock. 

MANAGEMENT HAS ULTIMATE DISCRETION OVER THE ACTUAL USE OF PROCEEDS DERIVED FROM THIS OFFERING

The net proceeds from this Offering will be used for the purposes described under “Use of Proceeds.” However, we reserve the right to use the funds obtained from this Offering for other similar purposes not presently contemplated which we deem to be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders in order to address changed circumstances or opportunities. As a result of the foregoing, our success will be substantially dependent upon the discretion and judgment of the Board of Directors with respect to application and allocation of the net proceeds of this Offering. Investors who purchase our Class A common stock will be entrusting their funds to our Board of Directors, upon whose judgment and discretion the investors must depend. The failure of our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may also invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND MAJORITY STOCKHOLDER MAY SIGNIFICANTLY INFLUENCE MATTERS TO BE VOTED ON AND THEIR INTERESTS MAY DIFFER FROM, OR BE ADVERSE TO, THE INTERESTS OF OUR OTHER STOCKHOLDERS.

The Company’s executive officer and majority stockholder, Mark Hanchett, controls 72 % of our outstanding Class D stock prior to this Offering.  As a Majority stockholder, Mark Hanchett controls 73% of the voting rights for Atlis Motor Vehicles. Additionally, the Company’s President, Annie Pratt, controls 28% of our outstanding Class D stock prior to this Offering. Annie Pratt controls 24% of the voting rights for Atlis Motor Vehicles. 

Accordingly, the Company’s executive officer and majority stockholder possesses significant influence over the Company on matters submitted to the stockholders for approval, including the election of directors, mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. This amount of control gives them substantial ability to determine the future of our Company, and as such, they may elect to close the business, change the business plan or make any number of other major business decisions without the approval of shareholders. The interest of our majority stockholders may differ from the interests of our other stockholders and could therefore result in corporate decisions that are adverse to other stockholders.

GENERAL SECURITIES INVESTMENT RISKS

All investments in securities involve the risk of loss of capital. No guarantee or representation is made that an investor will receive a return of its capital. The value of our Class A common stock can be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including development problems, regulatory issues, technical issues, commercial challenges, competition, legislation, government intervention, industry developments and trends, and general business and economic conditions.

MULTIPLE SECURITIES OFFERINGS AND POTENTIAL FOR INTEGRATION OF OUR OFFERINGS

We are currently and will in the future be involved in one or more additional offers of our securities in other unrelated securities offerings. Any two or more securities offerings undertaken by us could be found by the SEC, or a state securities regulator, agency, to be “integrated” and therefore constitute a single offering of securities, which finding could lead to a disallowance of certain exemptions from registration for the sale of our securities in such other securities offerings. Such a finding could result in disallowance of one or more of our exemptions from registration, which could give rise to various legal actions on behalf of a federal or state regulatory agency and the Company.

THIS OFFERING WAS NOT REVIEWED BY INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONALS

We have not retained any independent professionals to review or comment on this Offering or otherwise protect the interest of the investors hereunder. Although we have retained our own counsel, neither such counsel nor any other counsel has made, on behalf of the investors, any independent examination of any factual matters represented by management herein. Therefore, for purposes of making a decision to purchase our Class A common stock, you should not rely on our counsel with respect to any matters herein described. Prospective investors are strongly urged to rely on the advice of their own legal counsel and advisors in making a determination to purchase our Class A common stock. 

WE HAVE NOT UNDERGONE UNDERWRITING DUE DILIGENCE, AND WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT WE WILL SELL ANY SPECIFIC NUMBER OF COMMON STOCK SHARES IN THIS OFFERING

There is no commitment by anyone to purchase all or any part of the Class A Shares offered hereby and, consequently, we can give no assurance that all of the Class A shares in this Offering will be sold. Additionally, there is no underwriter for this Offering; therefore, you will not have the benefit of an underwriter's due diligence efforts that would typically include the underwriter being involved in the preparation of this Offering Circular and the pricing of our Class A common stock shares offered hereunder. Therefore, there can be no assurance that this Offering will be successful or that we will raise enough capital from this Offering to further our development and business activities in a meaningful manner. Finally, prospective investors should be aware that we reserve the right to withdraw, cancel, or modify this Offering at any time without notice, to reject any subscription in whole or in part, or to allot to any prospective purchaser fewer Class A common stock Shares than the number for which he or she subscribed.

INVESTORS IN THIS OFFERING WILL LIKELY EXPERIENCE ADDITIONAL DILUTION

If you purchase our Class A common stock in this Offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution because the price you pay will be substantially greater than the net tangible book value per share of the shares you acquire. Since we will require funds in addition to the proceeds of this Offering to conduct our planned business, we will raise such additional funds, to the extent not generated internally from operations, by issuing additional equity and/or debt securities, resulting in further dilution to our existing stockholders (including purchasers of our Class A common stock in this Offering).

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO MEET OUR CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including but not limited to the rate and success of our research and development efforts, marketing efforts, market acceptance of our products, our ability to establish and maintain our agreements with suppliers, our ability to ramp up production, product demand and other factors. The capital requirements relating to development of our technology and the implementation of our business plan will be significant. We cannot accurately predict the timing and amount of such capital requirements. However, we are dependent on the proceeds of this Offering as well as additional financing that will be required in order to develop our products and fully implement our proposed business plans.

However, in the event that our plans change, our assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate, or if the proceeds of this Offering prove to be insufficient to implement our business plan, we would be required to seek additional financing sooner than currently anticipated. There can be no assurance that any such financing will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may dilute the equity interests of our existing shareholders (including those purchasing shares pursuant to this Offering), and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants with respect to dividends, raising future capital and other financial and operational matters. If we are unable to obtain additional financing as and when needed, we may be required to reduce the scope of our operations or our anticipated business plans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, future operating results and financial condition.  

WE MAY TERMINATE THIS OFFERING AT ANY TIME

We reserve the right to terminate this Offering at any time, regardless of the number of Class A common stock shares sold. In the event that we terminate this Offering at any time prior to the sale of all of the Class A common stock shares offered hereby, whatever amount of capital that we have raised at that time will have already been utilized by the Company and no funds will be returned to subscribers.

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO MEET OUR CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including but not limited to the rate and success of our research and development efforts, marketing efforts, market acceptance of our products, our ability to establish and maintain our agreements with suppliers, our ability to ramp up production, product demand and other factors. The capital requirements relating to development of our technology and the implementation of our business plan will be significant. We cannot accurately predict the timing and amount of such capital requirements. However, we are dependent on the proceeds of this Offering as well as additional financing that will be required in order to develop our products and fully implement our proposed business plans.

However, in the event that our plans change, our assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate, or if the proceeds of this Offering prove to be insufficient to implement our business plan, we would be required to seek additional financing sooner than currently anticipated. There can be no assurance that any such financing will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may dilute the equity interests of our existing shareholders (including those purchasing shares pursuant to this Offering), and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants with respect to dividends, raising future capital and other financial and operational matters. If we are unable to obtain additional financing as and when needed, we may be required to reduce the scope of our operations or our anticipated business plans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, future operating results and financial condition.

IF WE PURSUE STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS, THEY MAY RESULT IN LOSSES

We may elect periodically to make strategic investments in various public and private companies with businesses or technologies that may complement our business. The market values of these strategic investments may fluctuate due to market conditions and other conditions over which we have no control. Other-than-temporary declines in the market price and valuations of the securities that we hold in other companies would require us to record losses related to our investment. This could result in future charges to our earnings. It is uncertain whether or not we will realize any long-term benefits associated with these strategic investments.

THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY FLUCTUATE AND OUR SHAREHOLDERS MAY LOSE ALL OR PART OF THEIR INVESTMENT

If a market for our Class A common stock develops following this Offering, the trading price of our Class A common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. The market prices for securities of startup companies have historically been highly volatile, and the market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. The market price of our Class A common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as:

Further, price and volume fluctuations may result in volatility in the price of our Class A common stock, which could cause a decline in the value of our stock. Price volatility of our Class A common stock might worsen if the trading volume of our shares is low. The realization of any of the above risks or any of a broad range of other risks, including those described in these “Risk Factors,” could have a dramatic and material adverse impact on the market price of our Class A common stock.

A SALE OF A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SHARES OF THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK MAY CAUSE THE SHARE PRICES TO DECLINE

If our stockholders sell, or the market perceives that our stockholders intend to sell for various reasons, substantial amounts of our Class A common stock in the public market, including shares issued in connection with the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, the market price of our shares could fall. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. We may become involved in securities class action litigation that could divert management’s attention and harm our business. The stock markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices for the common stock of automotive companies. These broad market fluctuations may cause the market price of our common stock to decline. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of a company’s securities. We may become involved in this type of litigation in the future. Litigation often is expensive and diverts management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect our business. 

OUR QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE

We expect our operating results to be subject to quarterly fluctuations. Our net loss and other operating results will be affected by numerous factors, including:

If our quarterly operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our Class A common stock could decline substantially. Furthermore, any quarterly fluctuations in our operating results may, in turn, cause the price of our Class A common stock to fluctuate substantially.

OUR DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF VOTING POWER

As of the date of this Offering Circular, our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders beneficially owned, in the aggregate, substantially all of our outstanding voting securities. As a result, if some or all of them acted together, they would have the ability to exert significant influence over the election of our board of directors and the outcome of issues requiring approval by our stockholders. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company that may be favored by other stockholders. This could prevent transactions in which stockholders might otherwise recover a premium for their shares over current market prices.

OUR ABILITY TO UTILIZE LOSS CARRY FORWARDS MAY BE LIMITED

Generally, a change of more than fifty percent (50%) in the ownership of a company’s stock, by value, over a three-year period constitutes an ownership change for U.S. federal income tax purposes. An ownership change may limit our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards attributable to the period prior to the change. As a result, if we earn net taxable income, our ability to use our pre-change net operating loss carryforwards to offset U.S. federal taxable income may become subject to limitations.

WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO EXPEND FUNDS TO INDEMNIFY OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, Bylaws and applicable Delaware law provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on our behalf. We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such a person's promise to repay us, therefore if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us, which we will be unable to recover. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of our Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. 

THE REQUIREMENTS OF BEING A PUBLIC COMPANY MAY STRAIN OUR RESOURCES AND DIVERT MANAGEMENT’S ATTENTION FROM OPERATIONS

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we have not incurred as a private company, including costs associated with public company reporting requirements. We also will incur costs associated with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act and related rules implemented or to be implemented by the SEC. The expenses incurred by public companies generally for reporting and corporate governance purposes have been increasing. We expect the rules and regulations associated with being a public company to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly, although we are currently unable to estimate these costs with any degree of certainty. These laws and regulations could also make it more difficult or costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including director and officer liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept constraints on policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These laws and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board, our board committees or as our executive officers and may divert management’s attention. Furthermore, if we are unable to satisfy our obligations as a public company, we could be subject to delisting of our common stock, fines, sanctions and other regulatory action and potentially civil litigation.

THE PREPARATION OF OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS REQUIRES ESTIMATES, JUDGMENTS, AND ASSUMPTIONS THAT ARE INHERENTLY UNCERTAIN

Financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) typically require the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Often, different estimates, judgments and assumptions could reasonably be used that would have a material effect on such financial statements, and changes in these estimates, judgments and assumptions may occur from period to period over time. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain and, if our estimates were to prove to be wrong, we would face the risk that charges to income or other financial statement changes or adjustments would be required. Any such charges or changes could harm our business, including our financial condition and results of operations and the price of our securities. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of the accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are the most critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements and our business.

UNFAVORABLE SECURITIES INDUSTRY REPORTS COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON OUR SHARE PRICE

Any trading market for our Class A common stock will be influenced in part by any research reports that securities industry analysts publish about us. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities industry analysts. If no securities industry analysts commence coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our Class A common stock could be negatively affected. In the event we are covered by analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgrade our securities, or otherwise reports on us unfavorably, or discontinues coverage or us, the market price and market trading volume of our Class A common stock could be negatively affected. 

USE OF PROCEEDS

Assuming the sale by us of the Maximum Offering of $14,949,988, bonus shares valued at $1,950,000 and estimated commissions, and offering related expensed of $743,734 the total net proceeds to us would be $12,283,254 which we currently intend to use as set forth below.

We expect from time to time to evaluate the acquisition of businesses, products and technologies for which a portion of the net proceeds may be used, although we currently are not planning or negotiating any such transactions. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from the sale of Class A common stock. Accordingly, we will retain broad discretion over the use of these proceeds, if any. The following table represents management’s best estimate of the uses of the net proceeds received from the sale of Class A common stock assuming the sale of, respectively, 100% and 50% of the Class A common stock shares offered for sale in this Offering.

The amounts set forth above are estimates, and we cannot be certain that actual costs will not vary from these estimates. Our management has significant flexibility and broad discretion in applying the net proceeds received in this Offering. We cannot assure you that our assumptions, expected costs and expenses and estimates will prove to be accurate or that unforeseen events, problems or delays will not occur that would require us to seek additional debt and/or equity funding, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. See “Risk Factors.”

This expected use of the net proceeds from this Offering represents our intentions based upon our current financial condition, results of operations, business plans and conditions. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the closing of this Offering or the amounts that we will actually spend on the uses set forth above. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this Offering.

We may also use a portion of the net proceeds for the investment in strategic partnerships and possibly the acquisition of complementary businesses, products or technologies, although we have no present commitments or agreements for any specific acquisitions or investments. Pending our use of the net proceeds from this Offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short-term, investment grade, interest bearing instruments and U.S. government securities.

DILUTION

If you purchase shares in this Offering, your ownership interest in our Class A common stock will be diluted immediately, to the extent of the difference between the price to the public charged for each share in this Offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Class A common stock after this Offering.

On November 1, 2021 there were an aggregate of 34,046,178 shares of Class A and Class D common stock issued and 26,719,859 options vested.   Our net tangible book value as of November 1, 2021, was ($0.0465) per then-outstanding share of our common stock, based on 34,046,178 outstanding shares of common stock. Net tangible book value per share equals the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of our Class A and Class D common stock outstanding, all as of the date specified.

If the maximum 818,639 shares plus up to 122,796 bonus shares of Class A common stock in this Offering at the public price of $15.88 per share and $0 per share for bonus shares, after deducting approximately $743,734 in maximum sales commissions and other offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value would have been approximately $0.0455 per share as at November 1, 2021. This amount represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $0.001 per share to our existing stockholders at the date of this Offering Circular, and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value of approximately $15.788 per share to new investors purchasing shares of Class A common stock in this Offering at a price of $15.88 per share.

The following table illustrates the per share dilution to new investors discussed above, assuming the sale of, respectively, 100% and 50% of the shares offered for sale in this offering (after our estimated offering expenses of $743,734 and $374,867 respectively), in the two scenarios of the maximum amount of bonus shares being issued and zero bonus shares being issued.

The following tables set forth, assuming the sale of, respectively, 100% and 50% of the shares offered for sale in this offering (after our estimated offering expenses of $743,734 and $374,867 respectively), the total number of shares previously sold to existing stockholders, the total consideration paid for the foregoing and the respective percentages applicable to such purchased shares and consideration paid based on an average price of $2.53 per share paid by existing stockholders and $15.88 per share paid by investors in this Offering.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION & RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations together with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Offering Circular. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, whose actual outcomes involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those stated in or implied by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” "Cautionary Statement regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and elsewhere in this Offering Circular. Please see the notes to our Financial Statements for information about our Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ATLIS Motor Vehicles Inc is a vertically integrated electric vehicle company committed to electrifying Work. The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 9, 2016, and maintains its headquarters in Mesa, Arizona.

ATLIS is a pre-revenue development stage company with goal to design, develop, and produce electric vehicles. We have incurred losses from operations and have had negative cash flows from operating activities since our inception. The company's current operating plan indicates that it will continue to incur losses from operations and generate negative cash flows from operating activities given ongoing expenditures related to the completion of its ongoing research and development activities. In 2021, we achieved important milestones and have built the foundation on which we plan to grow our company. We produced the first AMV battery cell which charges in under 10 minutes, and we successfully launched the ATLIS XT Truck prototype. In 2022, ATLIS is positioned for growth.

Operating Results

Year ended December 31, 2021 Compared to Year ended December 31, 2020

The Company generated no revenues in 2021 and 2020.

Operating expenses consist primarily of stock-based compensation, salaries, legal & professional fees, general and administrative expenses, research and development costs and advertising.

Our stock-based compensation expense resulting from grants of employee stock options is recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on the respective grant date fair values of the awards. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing method for valuing stock options and shares granted under the employee stock purchase plan and recognize the expense over a requisite service (vesting) period using the straight-line method. On Aug 24, 2021, the Company changed its share-based employee compensation to options-based compensation. In order to ensure consistency across all current and former employees, the Company offered all current and former employees with existing stock grants the option to relinquish their ATLIS shares for ATLIS options at an average ratio of 6.64 options for every share relinquished. Of the approximately 6,550,000 share grants outstanding, approximately 5,200,000 were relinquished in return for approximately 34,569,000 options that would vest between 2021 and 2024. Additionally, ATLIS CEO Mark Hanchett relinquished 10,0000,000 of his Class A shares. In return Mr. Hanchett received 10,000,000 Class A Options. The company granted Mr. Hanchett 10,000,000 Class D shares with ten voting rights each. Finally, approximately 578,400 ATLIS options were granted to new employees, non-employees and Director of Board. The Company elected to recognize employee stock-option compensation expense related to the options grants as they were incurred. This expense was determined by applying the Black-Scholes model on the third-party appraisal value of the underlying share price for each stock as of August 24, 2021. As a result, the company recorded approximately $114,579,500 of incremental compensation expense as of December 31, 2021.

Salaries expense increased to $3,792,812 in 2021 from $2,396,903 in 2020 due to an increase in team size to facilitate continued progress on the product development and business growth. Advertising expense increased significantly to $2,677,641 in 2021 from $397,181 in 2020 to support the Company’s crowdfunding campaigns. Research and Development expense of $1,655,365 in 2021 increased from $574,483 in 2020 to support the development of the XT prototype and our proprietary battery technology. Legal and professional fees increased to $767,276 in 2021 from $347,802 as a result of increasing our use of contractors to support accounting, audit, legal, and broker-dealer functions.

General and administrative expenses totaled $576,753 in 2021 and $150,025 in 2020. The increase was primarily driven by rent expense, increased staff, equipment purchase and technology to support general operations.

As a result of the foregoing, our Net Loss from Operations was approximately $133,736,000 and $11,964,000 as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 respectively.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Plan of Operations

Our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. ATLIS Motor Vehicles’ ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to raise additional capital as required. 

As of December 31, 2021, our cash balance was approximately $3,146,000. As mentioned above, no significant revenues have been generated since inception and no revenues were expected in the 2021 fiscal year. Unless we receive significant additional financing in the near future, we will not be able to execute on our operational deliverables or conduct our planned operations. Development of battery and electric vehicle technology on a large scale is a very cash and time intensive proposition. Accordingly, our business plan is dependent on our ability to raise sufficient investments. 

Futures

Revenue

Atlis hopes to generate limited revenue from battery sales in 2021. In 2022 and beyond, Atlis views battery cell and pack sales as being a significant avenue for profitability. Atlis hopes to sell its first XP Platforms in Q4 2022.

Gross Margins

The Company will likely sell its first units as a gross loss, but gross margins will increase significantly over time as production quantities scale.

Expenses

Atlis’s expenses in 2022 will likely continue to increase, especially in payroll costs, payroll taxes, employee equity compensation, and development costs.

Financings and Securities Offerings

We have made the following issuances of securities within the last four years as of December 31, 2021 : 

The Company must raise additional equity or debt financing, both now and in the future following this Offering. However, no assurances can be made that the Company will be successful obtaining additional equity or debt financing, or that ultimately the Company will achieve profitable operations and positive cash flow.

Since inception, our principal sources of operating funds have been proceeds from equity financing including Regulation CF and Regulation A+ crowdfunding equity financing and including the sale of our Common Stock to initial investors known to management and principal shareholders of the Company. We do not expect that our current cash on hand will fund our existing operations. We will need to raise additional capital in order to execute our business plan and growth goals for at least the next twelve-month period thereafter. If Atlis is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to execute a slower than planned growth path, reduce overhead and scale back its business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operational expansion and growth. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

Current Plan of Operations

Our plan of operations is currently focused on the development and production of our battery cells and packs, XP platform, and XT pickup. We expect to incur substantial expenditures in the foreseeable future for the extended development and testing of our technology and the commercialization of the products. At this time, we cannot reliably estimate the nature, timing or aggregate amount of such costs. Our products will require extensive technical evaluation, potential regulatory review and approval, significant marketing efforts and substantial investment before it or any successors could provide us with any revenue. Further, we intend to continue to build our corporate and operational infrastructure and to build interest in our products with the goal of becoming the market leader in electric trucks.

As noted above, the continuation of our current plan of operations requires us to raise significant additional capital immediately. If we are successful in raising capital through the sale of shares offered for sale in this Offering Document, we believe that the Company will have sufficient cash resources to fund its plan of operations for the next twelve months. If we are unable to do so, our ability to continue as a going concern will be in jeopardy, likely causing us to curtail and possibly cease operations. 

We continually evaluate our plan of operations discussed above to determine the manner in which we can most effectively utilize our limited cash resources. The timing of completion of any aspect of our plan of operations is highly dependent upon the availability of cash to implement that aspect of the plan and other factors beyond our control. There is no assurance that we will successfully obtain the required capital or revenues, or, if obtained, that the amounts will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations. The inability to secure additional capital would have a material adverse effect on us, including the possibility that we would have to sell or forego a portion or all of our assets or cease operations. If we discontinue our operations, we will not have sufficient funds to pay any amounts to our stockholders. If in the future we are not able to demonstrate adequate progress in the development of our product, we will not be able to raise the capital we need to continue our then current business operations and business activities, and we will likely not have sufficient liquidity or cash resources to continue operating.

Because our working capital requirements depend upon numerous factors there can be no assurance that our current cash resources will be sufficient to fund our operations. Thus, we will require immediate additional financing to fund future operations. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to obtain funds on acceptable terms, if at all.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not, and do not currently, have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Capital Expenditures

We will require significant capital expenditures to secure the facilities and equipment necessary to complete development and begin producing our products. Due to the size and scope of the operations, it will be necessary to expand facilities and equipment as production operations ramp. This will require exponentially more capital.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

Atlis Motor Vehicles has signed a 5 year and 3 month lease agreement with Majestic Mesa Partners, to occupy a 42,828 Sq. Ft industrial facility at 1828 North Higley Road, Suite 100, Mesa AZ , commencing on April 1^st, 2020. Base rent obligation for Months 1 through 7 is $14,133, Months 8-12 is $28,266.48 with subsequent annual increase of 3% for Years 2-5. In addition to Base rent, Atlis Motor Vehicles is responsible for Property Taxes, utilities and maintenance costs related to the property, which are estimated at a monthly rate of $7,265 for 2020, are commencing from Month 1 of the lease obligation and will be annually adjusted as needed.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

In the ordinary course of our business, we are not exposed to market risk of the sort that may arise from changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates, or that may otherwise arise from transactions in derivatives. We do not currently invest in any securities as all capital is being diverted to developing our products.

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Atlis Motor Vehicles’ Management, in consultation with its legal counsel as appropriate, assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against Atlis or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, Atlis, in consultation with legal counsel, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Atlis Motor Vehicles’ financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. 

Corporate Governance

In early 2022, we discovered some technical deficiencies and abnormalities in our corporate charter amendments and corporate record keeping. These abnormalities could have had the potential to invalidate numerous corporate actions taken in the interim. While regrettable, this scenario is not abnormal for start-up companies.

Atlis recently took action under Delaware law to remedy certain irregularities relating to, and to ratify and confirm, its capital structure. As described more fully in the notice of ratification provided to stockholders, these irregularities relate to issuances of stock, the election of directors, the grant of stock options and restricted stock units, the 2020 reclassification of its capital structure into multiple classes of Common Stock and certain amendments to its Certificate of Incorporation. Under Section 204, unless otherwise determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery in an action challenging the ratification brought pursuant Section 205 of the Delaware General Corporation, (i) each of the corporate acts ratified by the Board and stockholders is no longer deemed void or voidable as a result of the failures of authorization identified in the resolutions adopted by the Board and stockholders, and such effect shall be retroactive to the time of such corporate acts, and (ii) each share or fraction of a share stock issued or purportedly issued pursuant to corporate acts and identified in the resolutions adopted by the Board and stockholders is no longer deemed void or voidable as a result of the failures of authorization identified in such resolutions and, in the absence of any failure of authorization not ratified, shall be deemed to be an identical share or fraction of a share of outstanding stock as of the time it was purportedly issued. Any claim that the corporate acts (including all putative stock) identified in the aforementioned resolutions are void or voidable due to the failure(s) of authorization, or any claim that the Delaware Court of Chancery should declare in its discretion that the ratifications described in the such resolutions not be effective or be effective only on certain conditions, must be brought within 120 days of Shareholder notification. We have sent a notice to all Company shareholders to inform them about the issue and our solution, as required.

In short, the effect of the Ratification serves to place the company and shareholders in the exact same positions as previously disclosed. The defective corporate charter amendment in 2020 failed to increase authorized shares and create share classes as intended. Upon the effective date of the Ratification, all the shares issued have become retroactively validly authorized. There are no remaining risks to investors, as all investors will have properly authorized shares, as intended. To prevent any future occurrences, we have instituted additional internal controls and will hire corporate experts, when needed.

Relaxed Ongoing Reporting Requirements

Upon the completion of this Offering, we may elect to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act. If we elect to do so, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an “emerging growth company” (as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which we refer to as the “JOBS Act”) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. As defined in the JOBS Act, an emerging growth company is defined as a company with less than $1.0 Billion in revenue during its last fiscal year. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies.

For so long as we remain an “emerging growth company,” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including but not limited to:

If we are required to publicly report under the Exchange Act as an “emerging growth company”, we expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, though if the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million, we would cease to be an “emerging growth company”.

If we elect not to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. The ongoing reporting requirements under Regulation A are more relaxed than for “emerging growth companies” under the Exchange Act. The differences include, but are not limited to, being required to file only annual and semi-annual reports, rather than annual and quarterly reports. Annual reports are due within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the end of the issuer's fiscal year, and semi-annual reports are due within ninety (90) calendar days after the end of the first six (6) months of the issuer's fiscal year 

OUR BUSINESS

Atlis and Industry Background

Atlis Motor Vehicles Inc is an early-stage development and manufacturing company of electric vehicle battery technology and vehicle platforms. The Company can be best described as a technology development company working toward providing battery technology and a Vehicle as a Service platform for electric heavy duty and light duty work vehicles. The company is in the process of developing electrified vehicle, infrastructure, and software platforms for work fleets. At the core of Atlis Motor Vehicles’ hardware platform will be proprietary battery technology capable of charging a full-size pickup truck in 15 minutes, and a modular system architecture capable of scaling to meet the specific vehicle or equipment application needs. We want to build a truck with unprecedented capabilities at a reasonable price. At the same time, we intend to scale our battery production and become a battery cell supplier. We also want to change the customer experience from sales, ordering, financing, and delivery to maintenance and service.

Principal Product and Its Market

Atlis Motor Vehicles has several pillars of product focus for our business. These pillars are:

●          ATLIS Energy. Our goal is to offer a superior battery technology solution that offers unparalleled fast charging and superior inclement weather and output performance. Not only will the battery technology be used in Atlis products, but we also intend to manufacture and sell our superior battery cell and pack technology as its own product line.

●         ATLIS XP. As we look to the future of electrification, Atlis Motor Vehicles’ XP Platform aims to provide a scalable technology solution with a connected cloud, mobile, service, and charging ecosystem that will provide unprecedented workflows and customer experiences moving forward. This platform of technology will be leveraged to develop new vehicle solutions quickly while minimizing costs and time. The modular XP technology platform will allow Atlis Motor Vehicles to work quickly with strategic partners looking to develop new vehicle solutions for niche and mass-market opportunities while leveraging the vast network of capabilities we look to provide.

●         ATLIS Charging. The Atlis Motor Vehicles Advanced Charging Station, or AAC, is being designed to boast the highest power solution to enter the market, a 1.5MW charging station, that's as simple to operate as filling up your gas vehicle today. ATLIS will also provide CCS 2.0 charging capabilities for non-ATLIS branded vehicles.

●         ATLIS XT. The XT Pickup truck will be our flagship vehicle product offering. The XT Pickup truck aims to represent every key piece of technology Atlis Motor Vehicles is developing and how this technology can be utilized to bring capable, non-compromising vehicle solutions through electrification. The XT Pickup truck will be our market entry solution into the world of work and is intended to be just the beginning of a long line of vehicle solutions built on our XP Platform

Product Development  

From its incorporation in 2016 through late 2021, Atlis Motor Vehicles was focused purely on research and development. The business strategy, battery intellectual property, and initial truck design were created by the founding team. In March 2018 Atlis Motor Vehicles launched its first Regulation CF campaign to fund further development of the battery technology and hire the concept team to develop the XP Platform and XT Truck designs. In October 2018 Atlis Motor Vehicles completed a proof-of-concept prototype battery pack that demonstrated a full charge in less than 15 minutes. In 2019 Atlis Motor Vehicles completed a proof-of-concept prototype build of the XP Platform. Progress slowed due to lapses in available funding until Atlis was able to launch a second Regulation CF campaign in December 2019 to fund an initial production facility and hiring the engineering team that is now working to finalize design of the AMV Battery cell, XT Truck, and XP Platform. In August 2020, Atlis Motor Vehicles launched a Regulation A campaign. Funds from the Regulation A campaign were put to use in facility expansion and continued growth of ATLIS technical development teams. In September 2021, ATLIS Motor Vehicles launched a regulation CF campaign. Funds from the Regulation CF campaign are being utilized to continue scaling AMV Cube Cell production and growth of engineering technical and development teams. ATLIS Motor Vehicles is currently in the validation phase of the AMV Cube Cell and plans to begin production in December 2021. Once production of the AMV Cube cell begins, ATLIS Motor Vehicles will proceed with continued growth investments in scaling AMV Cell manufacturing capabilities. Atlis Motor Vehicles is currently in the process of finalizing engineering designs for the XP Platform and XT Pickup Truck and is tracking for completion of the design phase in Q4 of 2022, resulting in functional, production prototypes. Once design phase is complete the XP Platform and XT Pickup Truck prototypes will complete a thorough validation and testing phase before entering production in late 2022. Product safety and validation testing will be very thorough and will likely require design changes in order to meet necessary requirements. These changes are an anticipated hurdle of the test phase.

How We Will Generate Revenue

Atlis Motor Vehicles does not currently generate sales for our software and hardware services. Atlis Motor Vehicles is in the early stages of the product and company development. Atlis Motor Vehicles’ expects to begin generating sales by late 2022. Atlis Motor Vehicles is still in the research and development stage and does not currently produce a product for sale. Atlis will soon exit the early stages of product and company development, whereupon it will produce a working prototype. Atlis Motor Vehicles has demonstrated physical proof of concept prototypes for the battery technology and XP Platform and renderings for the XT Truck. Following proof of concept prototypes, Atlis Motor Vehicles will finalize the design of all components and parts, order initial parts, and build the first working prototypes with production-quality parts. From there the production-level prototypes will go through thorough testing and once testing has passed all requirements the final designs will be locked and production parts will be ordered and built in our initial production runs. Atlis has not yet generated any sales of the XT Pickup truck or XP Platform to date. We expect to finalize development of the production model and hope to begin producing trucks for delivery and sale by the end of calendar year 2022.

Atlis Motor Vehicles has built a pilot production line for the Atlis battery cell and is working to scale production of battery cells and battery packs in the coming year. Atlis has built the first production-level prototypes and will next go through testing and validation. Once testing has passed all requirements, the final designs will be locked, and the first production batteries will be built for initial customers. We expect to build the first batteries for customers by the end of calendar year 2021.

For the XP Platform and XT Truck products, Atlis is still in the research and development stage and does not currently produce a Platform or Vehicle product for sale. ATLIS has produced a working prototype of the XP Platform, XT Pickup truck, and ATLIS V1.5 Battery cell technology. Atlis Motor Vehicles has demonstrated physical proof of concept prototypes for the battery technology, XP Platform, and XT Truck. Following completion of the proof-of-concept prototypes of the XP Platform and XT Truck, Atlis Motor Vehicles will finalize the design of all components and parts, order initial parts, and build the first working prototypes with production-quality parts. From there the production-level prototypes will go through thorough testing and once testing has passed all requirements the final designs will be locked, and production parts will be ordered and built in our initial production runs. Atlis has not yet generated any sales of the XT Pickup truck or XP Platform to date. The Company is still in the development stage and will be for at least 12-18 more months. We expect to finalize development of the production model and begin producing trucks for delivery and sale by the end of calendar year 2022.  

Atlis Motor Vehicles has received substantial interest in its product via reservations submitted on the Company’s website. The total value of these reservations, if all such reservations were converted to sales, is over $2.8 billion. This projection was generated by extrapolating the XT Pickup Truck’s predicted average sales price of $59,968 by the number of electronic reservations made on the Company's website. Reservations from email addresses that bounce have been removed, and each reservation is counted as one vehicle unless an Atlis representative speaks to the reservation holder and validates the request for multiple vehicles. These reservations are non-binding, non-deposit, and require no down payment or reservation fee. Atlis has foregone the requirement for a refundable deposit in favor of allowing reservation holders to become investors in Atlis Motor Vehicles through our Regulation CF and Regulation A+ offerings. This expressed interest should not be taken as a guarantee of sale.

Distribution Channels

Our hardware and services will be conducted online via our website. Fleet and consumer customers will be able to purchase the Atlis XP Platform, Atlis XT Pickup Truck, and Atlis advanced charging solutions online.

Our advanced charging infrastructure will require users to be able to purchase electricity at our charging stations. This purchase will be conducted through our cloud-based mobile application and website.

Growth Strategy

Our strategy for growth is to focus on execution. We are completing the design work to deliver our production prototype in the second half of 2020. From there, we will stand up production and begin building products. Once we have started production, we plan to leverage influencer marketing and customer word of mouth to generate additional interest in our products. We will develop a dedicated sales team pursuing larger fleet customers.

Need for Government Approval of Principal Products or Services

As we progress, we may need to obtain government approval for meeting federal transportation safety guidelines.

PENNY STOCK REGULATION

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than Five Dollars ($5.00) per share or an exercise price of less than Five Dollars ($5.00) per share. Such securities are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. As our Common Stock immediately following this Offering may be subject to such penny stock rules, purchasers in this Offering will in all likelihood find it more difficult to sell their Common Stock shares in the secondary market

Such a waiver may result in risks to investors such as increased costs to bring a claim, limited access to information, and other imbalances of resources between the Company and Shareholders.

Investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and their rules and regulations. 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  

ATLIS MOTOR VEHICLES, INC.

Audited Financial Statements For The Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Atlis Motor Vehicles, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Atlis Motor Vehicles, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Change in Accounting Principle

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company elected to change its method of accounting for stock awards to its employees.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, as of December 31, 2021, the Company had recurring losses from operations and an accumulated deficit. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

ATLIS Motor Vehicles Inc. (“the Company” or ATLIS), based in Arizona, was incorporated in 2016. ATLIS is a mobility technology company developing products that will power work. ATLIS is building an electric vehicle technology platform for heavy and light duty work trucks used in the agriculture, service, utility, and construction industries. To meet the towing and payload capabilities of legacy diesel-powered vehicles, ATLIS is developing proprietary battery technology and a modular system architecture capable of scaling to meet the specific needs of the all-electric vehicle.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations for the next 12 months as of the date these financial statements are issued.  

The Company had an accumulated deficit of $147,935,370 as of December 31, 2021.   The Company also had a net loss of $133,736,082 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

On February 11, 2021, the Company received $397,309 in the form of a loan from the Paycheck Protection Program, (see Note 7).  The Company also raised an additional $14,924,196 and $3,491,734 from the sale of common stock in 2021 and 2020, respectively.  The Company continues to raise capital through stock sales and investment campaigns. The Company cannot provide any assurance that unforeseen circumstances that could occur at any time within the next twelve months or thereafter will not increase the need for the Company to raise additional capital on an immediate basis.

These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s management is addressing this risk by pursuing all available options for funding which includes seeking private investments as well as potentially going public. Our success depends on achieving our strategic and financial objectives. ATLIS has spent the past few years developing technology that will electrify work. In 2021, we delivered on our commitment to build and prove out our superior battery technology and to successfully deliver the XT prototype. In 2022, we plan to become revenue generating and to secure sufficient funding to execute on our operational milestones. The company will continue to leverage Regulation A+ crowdfunding campaigns to fund operations until significant capitalization occurs.

Change in Accounting Policy

The Company previously valued stock awards  to employees based on a fair market value that was derived from recent arm’s length transactions involving the sale of stock at the time shares were awarded. The Company changed its accounting policy during 2021 to value stock awards based on appraisal of fair market value that considered all available information material to the value of the Company, including the present value of anticipated future cash flows and other relevant factors such as a discount for lack of marketability (“appraisal method”). The same method was used to value awards in prior years. As a result, the company revised the previously recorded share-based compensation expenses based on the use of the appraisal method. Adjustments for previously issued financial statements for the year 2020 have been revised to present the new accounting policy of applying the appraisal method. The impact for the year 2019 was recorded as a prior period adjustment in the year of 2020.

COVID-19

We have experienced challenges to our business arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental directives, and we expect to continue facing these challenges for the foreseeable future. COVID-19 crisis has caused and may continue to cause disruptions to our supply chain, including our access to critical raw materials and components, many of which require substantial lead time, or cause a substantial increase in the price of those items. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and its ultimate duration, severity and disruption to our business, customers and supply chain, and the related financial impact to us, cannot be accurately forecasted at this time. Should such disruption continue for an extended period, the adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows could be more severe than previously anticipated.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires us to make estimates based on assumptions about current, and for some estimates, future economic and market conditions which affect reported amounts and related disclosures in our financial statements. Although our estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from our expectations, which could materially affect our results of operations, our financial position and cash flows.

Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this document may not add up precisely to the totals provided.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions 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 valuation of the Company's stock-based compensation, including the fair value of common stock. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risks

The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily from cash and cash equivalents.

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. During the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any cash equivalent balances

The Company’s cash accounts are held at a high-credit-quality financial institution and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the FDIC, up to $250,000. From time-to-time, the Company’s bank balances exceed the FDIC insurance limit. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institutions, the Company periodically evaluates the credit quality of the financial institution in which it holds deposits.

 Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC 606, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company performs the following five-step analysis: (i) identification of contract with customer; (ii) determination of performance obligations; (iii) measurement of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

The Company’s is not currently in production and therefore does not have any revenue as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

Additional Disclosures Regarding Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of cash, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these items.

Advertising

The Company uses media networks, including, but not limited to online and social media platforms to build excitement and awareness for the product and brand. In addition, advertising is a primary driver for our Regulation A funding campaigns. Advertising costs for years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $2,677,641 and $397,181 respectively.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement 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 includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized, but no less than quarterly.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.  The Company has a capitalization policy of $2,500. All individual asset purchases over $2,500 are capitalized.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360-10, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in the operating expenses. The amounts for the years ending December 31, 2021 and 2020 are $1,655,365 and $574,483 respectively.

Common Stock

The total number of shares of stock which the Company shall have authority to issue is 96,248,541 shares of Common Stock at $0.0001 par value per share.

The Company is authorized to issue: 54,307,968 shares of Class A Common Stock, one share of Class B Common Stock, 15,000 shares of Class C Common Stock and 41,925,572 shares of Class D Stock.

The Class A Common Stock entitles its holders to one vote per share on matters submitted for stockholder action. As of the date of this Notice, there are 6,854,576 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding and 46,123,737 options for shares of Class A Common Stock.

The Class B Common Stock is nonvoting stock. The share of Class B Common Stock authorized for issuance is not issued and outstanding.

The Class C Common Stock entitles its holder to one vote per share on matters submitted for stockholder action. The holder of a majority of the Class C Common Stock is entitled to elect a director to the Board. In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of shares of Class C Common Stock are entitled to receive a per share cash amount equal to $8.24 before any payment is made to the holders of other classes of capital stock. Upon a sale or transfer of Class C Common Stock, the sold or transferred shares shall be converted into an identical number of shares of Class A Common Stock.

In 2021, the Company issued Class D shares of Common Stock. The Class D Stock entitles its holders to 10 votes per share on matters submitted for stockholder action. The shares of Class D Stock are not entitled to receive any dividends or any distribution on a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company. Class D shares are not convertible, are deemed to have no economic value, and upon a holder’s cessation of service to the Company, such holder shall, on the one-year anniversary of such cessation, surrender to the Company for no consideration all shares of Class D Stock owned by such holder.

The breakdown of common stock outstanding by class is as follows:

Share-Based Compensation – Stock Options

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 (ASC 718), Compensation-Stock Compensation. Under the fair value recognition provisions, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, which is considered to be the vesting period if service period is not defined.

On Aug 24, 2021, the Company modified its share-based employee compensation to options-based compensation. In order to ensure consistency across all current and former employees, the Company offered all current and former employees with existing stock grants the option to relinquish their ATLIS shares for ATLIS options at an average ratio of 6.64 options for every share relinquished. This expense was determined by applying the Black-Scholes model on the third-party appraisal value of the underlying share price for each stock as of August 24, 2021.

Common Stock Awards – Non Employees

The Company granted common stock awards to non-employees in exchange for services provided. We determine the fair value of the stock-based compensation awards granted to non-employees as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (ii) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.  The share-based payments related to common stock awards for the settlement of services provided by non-employees is recorded on the statement of operations in the same manner and charged to the same account as if such settlements had been made in cash.  The Company granted non-employees 32,500 shares of common stock at an appraisal value of $186,370 during 2021 and 70,100 shares of common stock at an appraisal value of $80,387 during 2020.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes which amends ASC 740 Income Taxes, or ASC 740. This update is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application of ASC 740. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021.  The guidance in this update has various elements, some of which are applied on a prospective basis and others on a retrospective basis with earlier application permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842).  This guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 including the interim periods within those fiscal years.  Under these provisions, all lessees will report a right-of-use asset and a liability for the obligation to make payments for all leases with the exception of those leases with a term of 12 months or less.  All other leases will fall into one of two categories: (i) Financing leases, similar to capital leases, which will require the recognition of an asset and liability, measured at the present value of the lease payments and (ii) Operating leases which will require the recognition of an asset and liability measured at the present value of the lease payments. The Company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2022 and recognize assets and liabilities arising from any leases that meet the requirements under this standard on the adoption date and included qualitative and quantitative disclosures in the Company’s notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Property and Equipment

ATLIS recorded depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment in the amount of $89,053 in 2021 and $6,317 in 2020.

In accordance with ASC 360-10, the Company evaluated its long-lived assets for potential impairment. We determined that a potential triggering event occurred due to ongoing losses. The company also determined the asset group has not experienced an impairment given that the assets were recently purchased and the estimated useful life of these assets was not impacted.

Note 4 – Intangible Assets

ATLIS recorded amortization expense related to the issuance of a patent number 11.069.945 on July 20, 2021. Amortization of patents is over ten-year period. The amortization amount for 2021 was $481. Patent expense for patents in process are recorded to Prepaid Assets.

Note 5 – Related Party Transactions

ATLIS follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. We evaluated our transactions and did not identify any significant related party transactions as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The note payable to Mark Hanchett at December 31, 2019 was repaid in full on January 15, 2020.

Note 6 – Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company recorded the valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of future realization of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards.

The deferred income tax assets are comprised of the following as of December 31, 2021 and 2020:

At December 31, 2021, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $148,000,000 and net operating loss carryforwards through 2037. The current year's net operating loss will carryforward indefinitely.

In December 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("Tax Act") was enacted into law which significantly revises the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The newly enacted federal income tax law, among other things, contains significant changes to corporate taxation, including a flat corporate tax rate of 21%, limitation of the tax deduction for interest expense to 30% of adjusted taxable income, limitation of the deduction for newly generated net operating losses to 80% of current year taxable income and elimination of net operating loss ("NOL") carrybacks, future taxation of certain classes of offshore earnings regardless of whether they are repatriated, immediate deductions for certain new investments instead of deductions for depreciation expense over time, and modifying or repealing many business deductions and credits beginning in 2018.

The current income tax benefit of approximately $34,912,200 was generated for the year ended December 31, 2021 was offset by an equal increase in the valuation allowance. The valuation allowance was increased due to uncertainties as to the Company's ability to generate sufficient taxable income to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards which is the only significant component of deferred taxes.

Reconciliation between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate is as follows as of December 31, 2021 and 2020:

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in general and administrative expense. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company has no unrecognized uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties.

The Company's federal income tax returns for tax years ended December 31, 2018 and beyond remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The returns for Arizona, the Company's most significant state tax jurisdiction, remain subject to examination by the Arizona Department of Revenue for tax years ended December 31, 2017 and beyond.

Note 7 – Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On February 11, 2021, ATLIS was granted a loan from Washington Federal Bank, in the aggregate amount of $397,309, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The was granted under the provisions of the second offering of PPP loans by the Small Business Association. The loan, which was in the form of a Note dated February 11, 2021, issued to ATLIS, matures February 11, 2026 and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% annually. The Note may be prepaid by the Borrower at any time prior to the maturity with no prepayment penalties. Funds from the loan may only be used for payroll costs, costs used to continue group health care benefits, mortgage payments, rent, utilities and interest on other debit obligations incurred before February 15, 2020. ATLIS has used the entire loan amount for qualifying expenses. Subsequently, this PPP note was fully forgiven on April 13, 2022

Contingencies

There are no contingencies recorded on the Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 and as of December 31, 2020.

Note 9 – Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 (ASC 718), Compensation-Stock Compensation. Under the fair value recognition provisions, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, which is considered to be the vesting period if service period is not defined

Prior to and up until 3Q 2021, the Company awarded employees grants in common stock as part of employee compensation, which typically vested over 4 years. Upon vesting, the company recorded employee stock compensation to additional paid-in-capital as the shares were vested but not issued. The share value was calculated based on the most recent funding event. Subsequently, the Company changed its accounting policy to value company shares based on appraisal of fair market value that considered all available information material to the value of the Company, including the present value of anticipated future cash flows and other relevant factors such as a discount for lack of marketability. The same method was applied retrospectively to value stock grant awards in prior years. As a result, the company revised the previously recorded share-based compensation expenses based on the use of the appraisal method.

On August 24, 2021, the Company offered employees the option to convert their vested stock grants into stock options at weighted average  conversion ratio of approximately 6.64   options for every share grant. A condition of the conversion was the relinquishment of all prior awarded stock through the August 24, 2021 conversion date. Although not all, a majority of former and current employees at the time elected to convert their shares to options. The Company accounted for this transaction as a modification as per ASC 718, which resulted in the Company recording $114,579,500 of incremental compensation expense during Fiscal year 2021. The originally vested stock grants were unissued as of the modification date with the exception of 10,000,000 Class A shares held by Mark Hanchett, who subsequently relinquished these on August 24, 2021.

On August 24,2021, the Company issued 25,725,370 Class D stock to the CEO and the President.

Between August 24, 2021 and December 31, 2021, Atlis awarded 578,400 options to new employees, non-employees and to our Director of Board.

We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing method for valuing stock option awards. Calculating the fair value of stock option awards requires the input of subjective assumptions. Other reasonable assumptions could provide differing results. The fair value of stock options at the grant date was determined using the following assumptions as of December 31, 2021.

Compensation expense was determined by applying the Black-Scholes model on the appraised value of the underlying share price for each stock on the grant date.
