Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Since our incorporation in October 2009, we have been engaged primarily in design and development of the Elio and obtained loans, investments and reservations to fund that development.  We are considered to be a development stage company, since we devote substantially all of our efforts to the establishment of our business and planned principal operations have not commenced.  We completed the initial design for the Elio as well as our business model in December 2012.  In 2013, we began accepting reservations for the Elio , purchased manufacturing equipment, built two prototypes and secured a manufacturing facility. During 2014, we sourced suppliers and services providers, built a fourth prototype and applied for the ATVM loan (described below).  In 2015, we built an additional prototype, issued convertible subordinated note offering, and filed an offering statement with the SEC under Regulation A, which was approved on November 20, 2015.  The Regulation A offering closed in February 2016.

Cash investment has totaled $24,839,150, net of related expenses, from incorporation through March 31, 2016 and loans have totaled $42,118,219 from incorporation through March 31, 2016.  We have also obtained deposits from persons desiring to reserve an Elio totaling $22,076,800 through March 31, 2016.

Operating Results

We have not yet generated any revenues and do not anticipate doing so until late in 2016 at the earliest, but more likely in 2017.

For the three months Ended March 31, 2016 Compared to March 31, 2015.   Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased by 234% over the comparable 2015 period, due primarily to a significant increase in engineering, research and development costs.

Interest expense decreased by 35% due to the cessation of default interest charges at 18% per annum on the note to Racer Trust beginning January 1, 2016.

As a result, our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $9,494,272, as compared to $4,794,988 for the comparable 2015 period, an increase of 98%.  Our accumulated deficit was $97,918,904 at March 31, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

March 31, 2016.   As of March 31, 2016, we had cash of $2,909,373 and a working capital deficit of $8,124,031, as compared to cash of $6,870,044 and a working capital deficit of $2,325,036 at December 31, 2015.  The increase in the working capital deficit results primarily from a decrease in cash as well as an increase in the fair value of derivative liability.

We obtained a forbearance agreement until July 31, 2016 with respect to our CH Capital Lending (Lender) note due July 31, 2015, which is secured by a first position in equipment in the Shreveport, Louisiana manufacturing facility.  The lender is an affiliate of Stuart Lichter, one of our directors and significant stockholders.  We have three loans from Mr. Lichter totaling $1,900,500 which are also due July 31, 2016. We also obtained a deferral of the lease payments on the Shreveport facility until August 1, 2016.  Such payments were to have commenced on August 1, 2015.  The lessor, Shreveport Business Park, is an affiliate of Mr. Lichter.

We also have a long-term loan of $23,000,000 from the Racer Trust which was incurred in March 2013 in connection with the purchase of the equipment at the Shreveport facility.   This loan was to be repaid in monthly installments of $173,500 beginning on November 1, 2013, with the entire remaining balance due September 1, 2016.  We were delinquent on the first payment, which triggered default interest to be charged on the loan at 18% per annum.  Payments made in 2014 were applied to this interest.  In March 2015, we entered into an amendment to the promissory note which deferred the installment payments until January 1, 2016 and extended the maturity date to July 1, 2017.

In addition to the agreements made with our lenders to defer cash outlays, we have funded our operations during the three months ended March 31, 2016 primarily through the receipt of customer reservations of $1,396,250 and the net proceeds from our Regulation A offering.

In August 2015, we filed an offering statement pursuant to Regulation A of the Securities Act of 1933, which was qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 2015.  We offered a minimum of 1,050,000 shares of common stock and a maximum of 2,090,000 shares of common stock on a “best efforts” basis, at a price of $12.00 per share.  On February 16, 2016 we closed the Regulation A offering, after issuing 1,410,048 shares of common stock for proceeds of $15,820,145 net of offering expenses.

Future Financing

Much of the vehicle engineering has been completed, and we are finalizing our engineering simulations, which suggest that the important vehicle performance milestones can be achieved.  To date, $44.7 million has been invested in vehicle engineering and development.  We obtained approximately $16.0 million in net proceeds from our Regulation A offering to build prototypes.  Upon completion of this phase, the vehicle production costs, as well as the performance and safety profiles, will be understood to a level that will allow for the kick-off of tooling.  With the development risks addressed, we will then be in a position to raise larger amounts of capital, estimated to be up to an additional $312 million to fund the completion of prototypes, testing, facility fit-up and move into production.

We are pursuing multiple options for such funding, rather than relying on one source.  We believe funding will come from a combination of short-term and long-term sources and from one or more of the sources discussed below, as well as more traditional sources (not discussed), such as venture debt arrangements and capital leasing on equipment.

Customer Reservations.   Customer reservations have provided significant funding for us in the past and we expect reservations to be a significant source of short-term liquidity in the future.  With each progressive step in our development, we have experienced a surge in reservations.  In addition, as we achieve subsequent milestones in the development of the Elio , customer confidence increases.  Accordingly, we expect to see surges in reservations as the following milestones are achieved and announced:  completion of prototypes, testing results, confirmation of mileage, guarantee of the sales price, hiring at the manufacturing facility, and, hopefully before production commences, scarcity.

Through March 31, 2016, we have $22,076,800 in reservations, an average of $566,072 per month.  Of this amount, $4.8 million was held at March 31, 2016 by credit card processing companies as a percentage of non-refundable reservations.  As of the date of this amended report $4.0 million had been released to us.

Sale of Excess Equipment .  We identified equipment in the Shreveport plant that will not be used in production of the Elio and made the equipment available for sale.  Through March 31, 2016, we have received net proceeds of $4.4 million from the sale of equipment, which has been applied to principal and accrued interest on the CH Capital Lending note.  As of March 31, 2016, an additional $1.6 million in equipment was available for sale, which we believe will be sold in 2016.

Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) Loan Program .  In 2007, the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) Program was established by Congress to support the production of fuel-efficient, advanced technology vehicles and components in the United States.  To date, the program, which is administered by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office, has made over $8 billion in loans, including loans to Ford ($5.9 billion), Nissan ($1.45 billion) and Tesla ($465 million).  This loan program provides direct loans to automotive or component manufacturers for re-equipping, expanding, or establishing manufacturing facilities in the United States that produce fuel-efficient advanced technology vehicles (ATVs) or qualifying components, or for engineering integration performed in the U.S. for ATVs or qualifying components.  The ATVM loans are made attractive to applicants due to their low interest rates (set at U.S. Treasury rates (approximately 2% to 4%), minimal fees (no application fees or interest rate spread and only a closing fee of 0.1% of loan principal amount), and long loan term life of up to 25 years (set at the assets’ useful life).  In order to qualify, auto manufacturers must be able to deliver “light duty vehicles” having 25% greater fuel economy than comparable models produced in 2005 or “ultra-efficient vehicles” that achieve at least 75 miles per gallon.  In addition, ATVM borrowers must remain financially viable over the life of the loan without the receipt of additional federal funding associated with the proposed project.

The ATVM application process is comprised of 4 stages:
 
1.
Application – Part I:  Determine basic eligibility
 
2.
Application – Part II: Confirmatory due diligence
 
3.
Conditional Commitment: Negotiate term sheet
 
4.
Loan Guarantee: Negotiate final agreements
 
Elio Motors has completed the first stage by submitting an application for a loan of approximately $185 million, the proceeds of which would be used to partly fund the purchase of equipment and equipment installation into the Shreveport facility prior to and ramp up after the start of production.  As of January 15, 2015, the Department of Energy (DOE) has confirmed that the Company has achieved the technical criteria for the loan.  Due diligence has been pending upon the confirmation of the Company’s financial backing. The Company has shared its production timing plans with the DOE, including the financing milestones to be achieved to kickoff production tooling in order to meet the Company’s start of production date. While the DOE has acknowledged and seems to be sensitive to the Company’s requirements, it has not made any commitments regarding its ability to meet these funding milestones. The specific terms and conditions of the ATVM loan will be negotiated with each applicant during the conditional commitment stage.  If the Company is unable to obtain a loan under the ATVM Program, it will rely on funding through customer reservations, selling debt and/or equity securities, and possibly CAFE credits.

CAFE Credits .  In 1975 in response to the Arab oil embargo, the U.S. Congress enacted Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards in an effort to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil and save on fuel costs through the improvement of U.S. automobile fuel efficiencies.  The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is responsible for administering the CAFE program, which was amended in 2007 to establish a trading credit program to incentivize auto manufacturers to further improve vehicle fuel efficiencies.  Auto manufacturers may earn CAFE credits (or be penalized) by exceeding (or failing to meet) increasingly more ambitious compliance standards for the model year of each passenger car or light duty truck produced.  Accumulated CAFE credits are transferable and saleable to other auto manufacturers and can be carried forward up to five years.  Credits (or penalties) are totaled for the manufacturer’s entire production fleet for a particular model year, and are applied at a rate of $55 per 1 mpg above (or below) the standard.  The CAFE standard has been amended to increase mpg for cars and light trucks to 48.7 to 49.7 mpg by 2025.

According to the estimated fuel economy of the Elio , it is expected that we could be well positioned to earn a substantial number of credits, from which we could generate extensive future revenues through the sale and transfer of these credits to other auto industry manufacturers. We have received indications from auto industry manufacturers that they would purchase our credits upon confirmation that we can participate in the CAFE program.  Currently, we do not qualify for participation in the CAFE program, since the Elio is not an automobile.  We have been working with members of Congress and with the former acting head of the NHTSA to permit participation in the program by autocycles.

NOTE 2
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
Elio Motors, Inc., an Arizona corporation (the “Company”), was formed on October 26, 2009. The Company was created to provide affordable transportation to those commuters seeking an alternative to today’s offering and at the same time provide vital American jobs. The Company is in the process of designing a three wheeled vehicle for mass production in the U.S. that achieves ultra-high fuel economy, exceeds safety standards and a targeted base price of $6,800, which excludes options, destination/delivery charges, taxes, title and registration.

Pursuant to the articles of incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 preferred shares, of which 100,000 preferred shares are designated as Series A Convertible Preferred shares (“Series A shares”). The Company’s common stock and preferred shares have no par value. The Series A shares are convertible into an equal number of common shares, subject to certain dilution adjustments, at the holder’s election. The Series A shares rank senior and prior to the common shares and any other class of preferred shares with respect to dividend rights, and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution. Issued Series A shares shall accrue and accumulate an 8% cumulative preferential cash dividend based on the purchase price per share. Such dividends are payable when declared by the Board of Directors of the Company. There were no preferred shares issued at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

NOTE 3
RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
During the periods presented in the financial statements, certain errors resulting in the misstatement of the previously issued financial statements were discovered by the Company.  The misstatement was caused by an inaccurate valuation of the beneficial conversion feature, inaccurate valuation of the options obtained in connection with the subordinated promissory note from a director and stockholder, updated valuation of fixed assets held for sale as well as fixed assets to be used in production, change in the timing of the release of cash held for customer deposits, change in accounts payable due to the late submission of invoices by vendors, and the change in the method used to value derivative liabilities.  Accordingly, amounts reported have been restated in the financial statements to correct the error.

NOTE 4 
BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic and diluted loss per common share common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Loss per share excludes the impact of outstanding options and warrants as they are antidilutive. Potential common shares excluded from the calculation at March 31, 2016 relate to 108,316 from warrants, 1,995,594 from options, and 847,031 from convertible notes payable.  At March 31, 2015 the potential common shares excluded relate to 1,887,554 from options, and 30,100 from convertible notes payable.


NOTE 5
FAIR VALUES OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Company groups its assets and liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

Level 1—Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Valuation is based on observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The Company uses valuation methods and assumptions that consider among other factors the fair value of the underlying stock, risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected life and dividend rates in estimating fair value for the warrants considered to be derivative instruments.

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for applicable assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2016.

FAIR VALUES OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (Continued)
The Company’s recurring Level 3 instruments consisted of stock warrant liabilities and assets held for sale.  Warrant liabilities are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the stock warrant liability are risk-free interest rate over the term of the instrument, time to liquidity event, dividend yield, and volatility of equity.  The change in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significant change of fair value measurement.  The following table describes the valuation techniques used to calculate the fair value for the warrant liabilities in the Level 3 hierarchy:
