1. Nature of Business and Organization and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Business and Organization

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (“FFIE”), a holding company incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 11, 2020, conducts its operations through the subsidiaries of FF Intelligent Mobility Global Holdings Ltd. (“Legacy FF”), founded in 2014 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California. References to the “Company” or “FF” refer to FFIE and its consolidated subsidiaries. FF is a global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company with a vision to reformat the automotive industry.

On July 21, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated a business combination pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger dated January 27, 2021 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, PSAC Merger Sub Ltd. (“Merger Sub”), an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and wholly-owned subsidiary of Property Solutions Acquisition Corp. (“PSAC”), a Delaware corporation our predecessor company, and Legacy FF. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy FF, with Legacy FF surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Business Combination”). Upon the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), PSAC changed its name from “Property Solutions Acquisition Corp.” to “Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.”

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into separate subscription agreements with a number of investors (“PIPE Investors”) pursuant to which, on the Closing Date, the PIPE Investors purchased, and the Company issued, an aggregate of 951,750 shares of Class A Common Stock (as defined below in this Note), for a purchase price of $800.00 per share with an aggregate purchase price of $761.4 million (“PIPE Financing”). Shares sold and issued in the PIPE Financing included registration rights. The closing of the private placement occurred immediately prior to the Closing Date.

The Company operates in a single operating segment and designs and engineers next-generation, intelligent, electric vehicles. The Company manufactures vehicles at its production facility in Hanford, California (“FF ieFactory California”) and has additional engineering, sales, and operations capabilities in China. The Company has created innovations in technology, products, and a user-centered business model that are being incorporated into its planned electric vehicle platform.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim reports. They include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and all other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, including the accounts of any Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and for which it is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures that are normally included in annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on August 21, 2023 (“Form 10-K/A”). Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022, has been derived from the Company’s annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. The Company believes that the disclosures included in this Form 10-Q are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

In the opinion of management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position, its results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The accounting policies used in the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are the same as those disclosed in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Form 10-K/A, except as described below.

Our annual reporting period is the calendar year. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, which affect the reported amounts in the financial statements.

Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and other assumptions which management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis management evaluates its estimates, including those related to the: (i) valuation of equity securities including warrants; (ii) recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities, including litigation reserves; and (iii) fair value of related party notes payable and notes payable. Such estimates often require the selection of appropriate valuation methodologies and financial models and may involve significant judgment in evaluating ranges of assumptions and financial inputs. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions, financial inputs, or circumstances.

Given the global economic climate, estimates are subject to additional volatility. As of the date the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require it to update its estimates or judgments or to revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. However, these estimates and judgments may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ from these estimates and any such differences may have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition

Automotive sales revenue was $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Services and other revenue was immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Automotive Sales Revenue

We began the production of our first vehicle the FF 91 Futurist (the “FF 91,” “FF 91 Futurist”, or “FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance”) in March 2023 and started making deliveries to customers in August 2023.

Automotive sales revenue includes revenues related to deliveries of new vehicles, and specific other features and services including home charger, charger installation, twenty-four-seven roadside assistance, over-the-air (“OTA”) software updates, internet connectivity and destination fees.

We recognize revenue on automotive sales upon delivery to the customer, which is when control of a vehicle transfers. Payments are typically received at the point control transfers or in accordance with payment terms customary to the business and as indicated in the sales contract. OTA software updates are provisioned upon transfer of control of a vehicle and recognized over time on a straight-line basis as we have a stand-ready obligation to deliver such services to the customer. For our obligations related to automotive sales, we estimate standalone selling price by considering costs used to develop and deliver the good or service, third-party pricing of similar options and other information that may be available. The transaction price is allocated among the performance obligations in proportion to the standalone selling price of our performance obligations. Our vehicle contracts do not contain a significant financing component.

Revenue from immaterial promises will be combined with the vehicle performance obligation and recognized when the product has been transferred. We accrue costs to transfer these immaterial goods and services regardless of whether they have been transferred.

The Company provides its customers with a residual value guarantee which may or may not be exercised in the future. The impact of such residual value guarantees was immaterial to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

ascribe a fair value to these services and record the fair value of these services to sales and marketing expense or research and development expense, as applicable. Any consideration payable to a customer that is above the fair value of the distinct services being provided is treated as a reduction of revenue.

Customer Deposits and Deferred Revenue

Customer deposits were $3.3 million and $3.4 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. When vehicle purchase agreements are executed, the consideration for the vehicle and any accompanying products and services must be paid in advance prior to the transfer of products or services by the Company. Such advance payments are considered non-refundable, and the Company defers revenue related to any products or services that are not yet transferred.

Deferred revenue is equivalent to the total transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, as of the balance sheet date. Deferred revenue related to products and services was immaterial as of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

Warranties

We provide a manufacturer’s warranty on all vehicles sold. The warranty covers the rectification of reported defects via repair, replacement, or adjustment of faulty parts or components. The warranty does not cover any item where failure is due to normal wear and tear. This assurance-type warranty does not create a performance obligation separate from the vehicle. Management tracks warranty claims by vehicle ID, owner, and date. As we continue to manufacture and sell more vehicles we will reassess and evaluate our warranty claims for purposes of our warranty accrual.

Provision for warranty	262		262
Warranty costs incurred	(12)		(12)
Accrued warranty- end of period	$	250	$	250

Cost of Revenue

Cost of automotive sales revenue includes direct and indirect materials, labor costs, manufacturing overhead, including depreciation costs of tooling and machinery, shipping and logistic costs, vehicle connectivity costs, and reserves for estimated warranty expenses. Cost of automotive sales revenues also includes adjustments to warranty expense.

Cost of services and other revenue includes costs associated with providing non-warranty after-sales services, costs for retail merchandise, and costs to provide vehicle insurance. Cost of services and other revenue also includes direct parts and material. Cost of services and other revenue was immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Inventory and Inventory Valuation

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and consists of raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods. The Company primarily computes cost using standard cost, which approximates cost on the first-in, first-out basis. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventory in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company assesses the valuation of inventory and periodically adjusts its value for estimated excess and obsolete inventory based upon expectations of future demand and market conditions, as well as damaged or otherwise impaired goods.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the assets

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

lives, are charged to operating expense as incurred. Upon sale or disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and any gain or loss is included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Depreciation and amortization on property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets and for leasehold improvements, over the term of the lease, if shorter.


			Useful Life (in years)
Buildings			39
Building improvements			15
Computer hardware			5
Tooling, machinery, and equipment			5 to 10
Vehicles			5
Computer software			3
Leasehold improvements			Shorter of 15 years or term of the lease

Construction in progress (“CIP”) consists of the construction activities related to the FF ieFactory California plant and tooling, machinery and equipment being built to serve the manufacturing of production vehicles. These assets are capitalized and depreciated once put into service.

The amounts capitalized in CIP that are held at vendor sites relate to the completed portion of work-in-progress of tooling, machinery and equipment built based on the Company’s specific needs. The Company may incur storage fees or interest fees related to CIP which are expensed as incurred. CIP is presented within Property and Equipment, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, consisting primarily of property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset groups) may not be recoverable. The Company performs impairment testing at the asset group level that represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets, including any cash flows upon their eventual disposition, to the assets carrying values. If the carrying value of the assets exceeds the forecasted undiscounted cash flows, then the assets are written down to their fair value. Assets classified as held for sale are also assessed for impairment and such amounts are determined at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell the asset. No impairment charges were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2023, stock-based compensation expense is reduced for forfeitures only when they occur. This change of accounting policy resulted in the recognition of a cumulative increase of prior stock-based compensation expenses totaling $1.8 million, which was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Income Tax

The income tax provision (benefit) recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was immaterial. The difference in the Company’s effective tax rate from the federal statutory rate of 21% is primarily due to full domestic and international valuation allowances. The Company records a full valuation allowance to reflect limited benefits for income taxes in jurisdictions that historically reported losses and a provision for income taxes in jurisdictions that are profitable. The income tax provision for each period was the combined calculated tax expenses/benefits for various jurisdictions.

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company is subject to taxation and files income tax returns with the U.S. federal government, the state of California and China. The Company’s income tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. As of September 30, 2023, the Company is not under any tax audits on its income tax returns. All of the Company’s prior year tax returns, from 2016 through 2021, are open under Chinese tax law.

The Company did not accrue any interest or penalties related to the Company's unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, as the uncertain tax benefits only reduced the net operating losses. The Company does not expect the uncertain tax benefits to have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements within the next twelve months.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to conform with the current presentation. Inventory and Finance lease right-of-use assets are now separately presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as they were previously included in Other current assets and Property and equipment, net, respectively (see Note 4, Deposits and Other Current Assets and Note 5, Property and Equipment, Net). In addition, the Buildings and Leasehold improvements within Property and equipment, net (see Note 5, Property and Equipment, Net) have been combined, as they were previously presented separately. On the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, amortization of prepaid software costs is now presented in Changes in operating assets and liabilities instead of Depreciation and amortization expense, and Change in operating lease right-of-use assets is now separately presented instead of being combined with Depreciation and amortization expense.

Reverse Stock Split and Recasting of Per-Share Amounts

On August 22, 2023, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) approved the implementation of a 1-for-80 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) and set the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 154,437,500 (which is 12,355,000,000 divided by 80, the Reverse Stock Split ratio). The Reverse Stock Split was effected after market close on August 25, 2023, and shares of the Company’s Class A common stock par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) and publicly traded warrants (the “Public Warrants”) began trading on a split-adjusted basis as of market open on August 28, 2023.

All shares of Common Stock, Public Warrants, stock-based compensation awards, earnout shares and per share amounts contained in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, proportionate adjustments were made to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Company’s outstanding convertible debt securities and warrants, as well as the applicable exercise or conversion prices. See Note 10, Stockholders' Equity , and Note 11, Stock-Based Compensation, for further discussion regarding the Reverse Stock Split.

2. Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are issued. Based on its recurring losses from operations since inception and continued cash outflows from operating activities (all as described below), the Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date that these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued.

Since its formation, the Company has devoted substantial effort and capital resources to strategic planning, engineering, design, and development of its electric vehicle platform, development of initial electric vehicle models, the build out of the FF ieFactory California, and capital raising. Since inception, the Company has incurred cumulative losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities, and has an accumulated deficit of $3.9 billion and a cash balance of $6.7 million as of September 30, 2023. The Company expects to continue to generate significant operating losses for the foreseeable future. The Company has funded its operations and capital needs primarily through the net proceeds received from capital contributions, the issuance of related party notes payable and notes payable (see Note 8, Related Party Transactions, and Note

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

7, Notes Payable), the sale of Common Stock, and the net proceeds received from the Business Combination and the PIPE Financing (see Note 1, Nature of Business and Organization and Basis of Presentation).

FF announced the start of production of its first electric vehicle, the FF 91 Futurist, on March 29, 2023 and announced the delivery of its first electric vehicle, the Ultimate AI TechLuxury FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance, on August 14, 2023. However, FF has recognized an insignificant amount of revenue as of the date hereof. FF’s future business depends in large part on its ability to execute its plans to develop, manufacture, market, and deliver electric vehicles, including the FF 91, FF 81, FF 71 series, and Smart Last Mile Delivery electric vehicle models that appeal to customers. As a result of certain management assumptions, including timely completion of certain testing and suppliers meeting our supply chain requirement, FF originally expected deliveries of the FF 91 Futurist to users to begin before the end of April 2023. However, certain of FF’s suppliers were unable to meet FF’s timing requirements and, therefore, FF updated the timing for the start of deliveries for its FF 91 vehicle. FF has developed a three-phase delivery plan for the FF 91 (the “Delivery Plan”). The first phase is the “Industry Expert Futurist Product Officer (“FPO”) Co-Creation Delivery.” In this first phase, the Industry Expert FPO(s) are expected to pay in full for an FF 91 vehicle in order to reserve the vehicle and be trained in the use of the vehicle. The Company began delivery of the reserved FF 91 vehicles to the FPO during the second phase, which is the “FPO Co-Creation Delivery.” In the second phase, FPO(s) are taking possession of the FF 91 vehicle and are entering into consulting, branding, marketing, and other arrangements with FF in exchange for fees to be paid by the Company to the FPO(s). The third phase is the “Full Co-Creation Delivery,” in which, FF will deliver FF 91 vehicles to all spire users that are expected to have paid in full for an FF 91 vehicle at time of delivery.

FF needs substantial additional financing to start the third phase of the Delivery Plan and is in discussions with additional potential investors to obtain such financing. As FF executes the Delivery Plan, it plans to continue to move vehicles into production and off-the-line with high quality and high product power. There is no assurance FF will be able to timely receive sufficient funding under existing or new financing commitments to produce and deliver the FF 91 on that timeline or at all. If FF is unable to receive sufficient funding, FF will be required to obtain new financing commitments, which may not be available to it under reasonable commercial terms if at all. Further, there cannot be any assurance that FF will develop the manufacturing capabilities and processes, secure reliable sources of component supply to meet quality, engineering, design or production standards, or to meet the required production volumes to successfully grow into a viable, cash flow positive, business.

The Company has continued financing discussions with multiple parties, but has experienced delays in securing additional funding commitments, which have exacerbated the supply chain and liquidity pressures on FF’s business. Since August 14, 2022, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Secured SPA”), Unsecured Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Unsecured SPA”), and the Streeterville Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Unsecured Streeterville SPA” and collectively the “SPA Commitments”), the Company has obtained commitments from several investors totaling $513.5 million in convertible note financing. A total of $300.2 million under these convertible note financing commitments has been funded ($263.2 million net of original discount and transaction costs) as of September 30, 2023. The remaining balance of $213.3 million is subject to various conditions, including achievement of delivery milestones, satisfaction of closing conditions, resolving disputes with investors, and satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including for a portion of such financing an effective registration statement for the shares underlying the applicable notes. In addition to the amounts received pursuant to the above commitments, the Company received additional optional funding - an aggregated gross proceeds of $38.0 million ($32.9 million net of original issuance discount) under the Secured SPA. Additionally, the Company has received commitments totaling $20.0 million through forced warrant exercise proceeds, subject to certain conditions.

There can be no assurance that FF will be able to satisfy the closing conditions under the Secured SPA, Unsecured SPA and Unsecured Streeterville SPA or that FF will be able further to successfully obtain additional incremental convertible senior secured note purchasers under the Secured SPA, Unsecured SPA, Unsecured Streeterville SPA or other debt or equity financing in a timely manner or on acceptable terms, if at all. These factors, in addition to the continued rise in inflation and other challenging macroeconomic conditions, have led FF to take steps to preserve its current cash position, including reducing spending, extending payment cycles and implementing other similar measures. If FF’s ongoing capital raising efforts are unsuccessful or significantly delayed, or if FF experiences prolonged material adverse trends in its business, FF’s production will be delayed or decreased, and actual use of cash, production volume and revenue for 2023 will vary from the Company’s previously disclosed forecasts, and such variances may be material. In addition to the risk that FF’s assumptions and analyses may prove incorrect, the projections may underestimate the professional fees and other costs to be incurred related to the pursuit of various financing options currently being considered and the ongoing legal risks. Incremental capital needs beyond 2023 to

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

fund operations and the development of the Company’s remaining product portfolio and to ramp up production will be highly dependent on the market success and profitability of the FF 91 series and the Company’s ability to accurately estimate and control costs. Apart from the FF 91 series, substantial additional capital will be required to fund operations, research, development, design, and manufacturing efforts for future vehicles.

On November 11, 2022, FF entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”), which is an affiliate of Yorkville Advisors. Under the terms of the SEPA, FF has the right, but not the obligation, to sell up to $200.0 million (which can be increased up to $350.0 million at FF’s option) of Class A Common Stock to Yorkville, subject to certain limitations, at the time of the Company’s choosing during the three-year term of the SEPA. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, FF sold 837,500 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price equal to 97% of the average daily volume weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock to Yorkville under the SEPA for $7.3 million.

On June 16, 2023, the Company filed a shelf registration on Form S-3 with the SEC (the “Shelf Registration”), which was declared effective by the SEC on June 28, 2023. As a result, the Company may from time-to-time issue Class A Common Stock and/or warrants, up to an aggregate amount of $300.0 million in one or more offerings. The Shelf Registration allows the Company to raise additional capital through Class A Common Stock and/or warrant issuances to both institutional and retail investors as it looks to raise additional financing to support production ramp-up. On September 27, 2023, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to the Shelf Registration regarding an at-the-market equity offering sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) the Company entered into on September 26, 2023 with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, B. Riley Securities, Inc., A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, Wedbush Securities Inc. and Maxim Group LLC (the “Sales Agents”) to offer and sell up to $90.0 million of Class A Common Stock. In accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company may offer and sell shares of the Class A Common Stock from time to time through or to the Sales Agents as sales agent or principal by any method that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The aggregate compensation payable to the Sales Agents is up to 3.5% of the gross sales price of the shares sold through the Sales Agents. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 780,000 shares of Class A Common Stock under the Sales Agreement for gross cash proceeds of $1.3 million less placement agent fees of $0.05 million.

Despite the potential access to liquidity resulting from the SEPA, the Shelf Registration (including pursuant to the Sales Agreement) and the unfunded commitments from the Secured SPA, the Unsecured SPA and the Unsecured Streeterville SPA, the Company projects that it will require additional funds in order to continue operations and support the ramp-up of production of the FF 91 Futurist to generate revenues to put the Company on a path to cash flow break-even. Incremental capital needs beyond 2023 to fund operations and the development of the Company’s remaining product portfolio and to ramp up production will be highly dependent on the market success and profitability of the FF 91 Futurist and the Company’s ability to accurately estimate and control costs.

The Company is exploring various funding and financing alternatives to fund its ongoing operations and to ramp up production, including equipment leasing, construction financing of the FF ieFactory California, secured syndicated debt financing, convertible notes, working capital loans, and equity offerings, among other options. The particular funding mechanisms, terms, timing, and amounts are dependent on the Company’s assessment of opportunities available in the marketplace and the circumstances of the business at the relevant time.

The timely achievement of the Company’s operating plan as well as its ability to maintain an adequate level of liquidity are subject to various risks associated with the Company’s ability to continue to successfully close additional sources of funding, control and effectively manage its costs, as well as factors outside of the Company’s control, including those related to global supply chain disruptions, the rising prices of materials, and general macroeconomic conditions.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its strategic plans, that the Company’s future funding raises will be sufficient to support its ongoing operations, or that any additional financing will be available in a timely manner or on acceptable terms, if at all. If events or circumstances occur such that the Company does not meet its strategic plans, the Company will be required to reduce discretionary spending, alter or scale back vehicle development programs, be unable to develop new or enhanced production methods, or be unable to fund capital expenditures. Any such events would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and ability to achieve its intended business objectives, and the Company will likely not be able to continue as a going concern.

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

As of and since December 31, 2022, the Company was and has been in default on the Secured SPA Notes. However, for the periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023, the holders of such notes subsequently waived the default. Since April 2023, the Company has been in breach of its debt agreement with Chongqing Leshi Small Loan Co., Ltd., a related party, with an outstanding principal balance of $4.5 million. As a result of the default, the interest rate on the outstanding principal balance has increased to a rate of 18% per annum until the event of default is no longer applicable.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain sufficient authorized shares to fully settle all outstanding equity-linked financial instruments in shares.

(1) Secured and Unsecured SPA Notes

On August 14, 2022, the Company entered into the Secured SPA with FF Simplicity Ventures LLC (“FFSV”) as administrative agent, collateral agent,and purchaser and certain additional purchasers (collectively the “Secured SPA Purchasers”) to issue and sell the Company’s senior secured convertible notes (the “Secured SPA Notes” and with the Unsecured SPA Notes (as defined below) the “SPA Notes”) in three tranches originally aggregating to $52.0 million in principal with a four year maturity, which was subsequently extended to six year.

On May 8, 2023, as further described below, the Company entered into the Unsecured SPA with Metaverse Horizon Limited (“MHL”) and V W Investment Holding Limited (“VW”, and together with MHL and other purchasers, the ”Unsecured SPA Purchasers”) to issue and sell $100.0 million aggregate principal of the Company’s senior unsecured convertible notes (the “Unsecured SPA Notes”). In August 2023, as further described below, the Company entered into the Unsecured Streeterville SPA (collectively included with the Unsecured SPA and Unsecured SPA Notes in future references), as part of its issuance of the Unsecured SPA Notes. The terms of the Secured SPA Notes and Unsecured SPA Notes are generally the same, however, the Secured SPA Notes are secured by the grant of a second lien upon substantially all of the personal and real property of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as guarantee by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.

The SPA Notes are generally subject to an original issue discount of 10%, and are convertible, along with any interest accrued, into shares of Class A Common Stock at the Conversion Price (as defined in each SPA Note), subject to full ratchet anti-dilution price protection. The conversion price for the SPA Notes is $1.64 as of September 30, 2023, which represents an amended and reduced conversion price due-to the full ratchet price protections, as described below.

The SPA Notes bear interest at 10% per annum (or 15% if interest or settlement is paid in shares) payable on each conversion date and on the maturity date in cash or in shares of Class A Common Stock. Unless earlier paid, the SPA Notes entitle the purchasers, at each conversion date, to an interest make-whole (“Make-Whole Amount”), in a combination of cash or Class A Common Stock, at the Company’s discretion, in the amount of the interest that would have been payable if such converted amount was held to maturity. The conversion price for the Make-Whole Amount is the greater of (a) the floor price, which is $3.63 as of September 30, 2023 or (b) 90% of the lowest volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) for the five consecutive trading days. When calculating the shares issuable upon conversion, the Make-Whole Amount shall be decreased by 50% of the original issue discount pertaining to such amount.

Total commitments under the initial Secured SPA were not to exceed $300.0 million, however, each original Secured SPA Purchaser has the option within 12 months from November 12, 2022 to purchase additional Secured SPA Notes under similar terms (the “Tranche B Notes”) (see Note 2, Liquidity and Capital Resources, for detailed discussion on commitments to fund additional Secured SPA Notes).

In connection with the issuance of the SPA Notes, the Company also granted to each Secured SPA Purchaser and Unsecured SPA Purchaser a warrant (the “SPA Warrants”) to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock equal to 33% of the shares issuable upon conversion of the aggregate principal amount under the SPA Notes funded.

The Company elected the fair value option afforded by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 825, Financial Instruments, with respect to the SPA Notes because the notes include features, such as a contingently exercisable put option, which meet the definition of an embedded derivative. The Company expenses transaction costs to Changes in fair value of notes

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

payable and warrant liabilities or Changes in fair value of related party notes payable and warrant liabilities, as applicable, in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

First Secured SPA Amendment

On September 23, 2022, the Secured SPA was amended (the “First Secured SPA Amendment”), pursuant to which the existing Secured SPA Purchasers agreed to accelerate their funding obligations. The First Secured SPA Amendment modified the conversion price to $84.00 per share. All of the other terms and conditions of the Secured SPA Notes were unchanged.

The Company evaluated the First Secured SPA Amendment in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt–Modifications and Extinguishments, and determined that it constitutes an extinguishment because the change in the fair value of the conversion feature is substantial. Accordingly, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment in Loss on settlement of notes payable in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss in the amount of $7.7 million, calculated as the difference between the reacquisition price of the debt and the net carrying amount of the Secured SPA Notes.

Joinder and Amendment Agreement with Senyun International Ltd (“Senyun”).

On September 25, 2022, the Company entered into a Joinder and Amendment Agreement (the “Joinder”) with Senyun, the Agent, as administrative agent, collateral agent, and purchaser, and RAAJJ Trading LLC (“RAAJJ”), pursuant to which Senyun agreed to purchase Secured SPA Notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $60.0 million in installments.

Third and Fourth Secured SPA Amendments

On October 24, 2022, the Company entered into a Limited Consent and Third Amendment to the Secured SPA (the “Third Secured SPA Amendment”) with the existing Secured SPA Purchasers, pursuant to which the maturity date for the Secured SPA Notes was extended from August 14, 2026 to October 27, 2028. In addition, pursuant to the Third Secured SPA Amendment, each Secured SPA Purchaser and the Agent (as defined in the First Secured SPA Amendment) waived certain defaults and events of default under the Secured SPA, any notes issued pursuant to the Secured SPA, and other related documents. The Third Secured SPA Amendment was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring under ASC 470-60, Debt – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors, because the Company was experiencing financial difficulty and the extension of the maturity date following the restructuring results in a reduced effective borrowing rate for the Company. The Third Secured SPA Amendment was accounted for prospectively with no gain or loss recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2022.

On November 8, 2022, the Company entered into a Limited Consent and Amendment to the Secured SPA (the “Fourth Secured SPA Amendment”), pursuant to which the parties agreed that (i) in no event will the effective conversion price of any interest or interest Make-Whole amount payable in shares of Class A Common Stock be lower than $16.80 per share of Class A Common Stock, and (ii) in order for the Company to make payment of any interest or interest Make-Whole amount in shares of Class A Common Stock, certain price and volume requirements must be met, namely that (x) the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock is not less than $16.80 per share on any trading day during the preceding seven trading day period, and (y) the total volume of the Class A Common Stock does not drop below $1.5 million on any trading day during the same period (in each case, as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions). The Fourth Secured SPA Amendment was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring under ASC 470-60, Debt – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors, because the Company was experiencing financial difficulty and the addition of a floor price on the conversion of the convertible notes is assessed as a concession to the Company. The Fourth Secured SPA Amendment was accounted for prospectively with no gain or loss recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Senyun Amendment

On December 28, 2022, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement and Amendment to the Secured SPA (the “Senyun Amendment”) with Senyun pursuant to which the conversion rate of notes totaling $19.0 million was lowered from $84.00 to $71.40 and future funding timeframes were renegotiated. As a result of the new conversion rate, the Company was obligated for the year then ended to issue additional shares to Senyun based on the lower conversion rate. The Company accounted for this obligation by crediting Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet for $0.9 million, which represents the fair value of the additional shares owed to Senyun. In addition, the $0.9 million was recognized as a Loss on settlement of notes payable in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss as the underlying debt

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

instruments were extinguished on the date the Senyun Amendment was entered into. The Company remitted the shares to Senyun in March 2023.

Sixth Secured SPA Amendment

On February 3, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 6 to the Secured SPA (the “Sixth Secured SPA Amendment”) with certain Secured SPA Purchasers, in which the Company agreed to sell up to $135.0 million in aggregate principal (the “Tranche C Notes”) with terms largely congruent to prior issuances and a $84.00 base conversion price subject to full ratchet anti-dilution price protection. Each applicable Secured SPA Purchaser has the option to purchase additional Secured SPA Notes on the same terms as the Tranche C Notes in an amount not to exceed 50% of the initial principal amount of the Tranche C Notes issued to each applicable Secured SPA Purchaser (the “Tranche D Notes”).

Pursuant to the Sixth Secured SPA Amendment, certain outstanding Secured SPA Notes issued by the Company to Secured SPA Purchasers with an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $31.0 million were replaced by the same principal amount of new notes with a $71.40 base conversion price. In accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt— Modifications and Extinguishments, the change in conversion price qualifies as an extinguishment because the change in the fair value of the conversion feature was substantial. Accordingly, the Company recognized a Loss on settlement of notes payable in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss in the amount of $3.0 million, calculated as the difference between the reacquisition price of the debt and the net carrying amount of the Secured SPA Notes.

Pursuant to the Sixth Secured SPA Amendment, the Company entered into an agreement with certain Secured SPA Purchasers (the “Exchange Agreement”) holding a total of 2,476,625 warrants to exchange them for an aggregate 1,131,117 warrants and principal convertible notes (the “Exchange Notes”) totaling $41.0 million. The issued warrants have terms that limit down-round ratchet clauses to price adjustments only. The Exchange Notes mature on February 3, 2025, bear interest at 11% per annum, have no original issuance discount, do not have a fixed price conversion, and convert using a VWAP calculation as described in the Exchange Agreement. The remainder of the terms of the Exchange Notes are largely congruent to the existing Secured SPA Notes, including most-favored nation rights. In connection with the Exchange Agreement, equity-classified warrants were exchanged for warrants which satisfy liability classification per ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and were reclassified from equity to Warrant liabilities during the period in an amount totaling $6.8 million (the “Warrant Exchange”). As a result of the transaction the Company did not recognize a gain or loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, as the fair value of the instruments exchanged and received were approximately the same.

Seventh Secured SPA Amendment

On March 23, 2023, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 7 to the Secured SPA (the “Seventh Secured SPA Amendment”) with FFSV, as administrative agent, collateral agent and purchaser, Senyun, and FF Prosperity Ventures LLC (“FF Prosperity”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to accelerate the funding timeline of Tranche C Notes in the amount of $40.0 million, and FFSV agreed to purchase additional Tranche B Notes in the amount of $5.0 million, in each case, subject to meeting certain conditions, in exchange for an agreement to increase the original issuance costs associated with such funding. As part of the agreement, the Company agreed that the original issuance discount related to $25.0 million in principal amount of Tranche C Notes and Tranche B Notes was 14% and 16%, respectively.

Eighth Amendment to the Secured SPA

On May 8 and 9, 2023, the Company entered into an eighth amendment to the Secured SPA (the “Eighth Secured SPA Amendment”) with certain Secured SPA Purchasers. Pursuant to the Amendments the parties agreed to amend the floor price of all outstanding Secured SPA Notes, including the Exchange Notes, from $16.80 to $8.00 and to change the exercise price of the Secured SPA Notes and SPA Warrants from $84.00 to $71.40.

In accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt— Modifications and Extinguishments, the change in conversion price qualifies as an extinguishment because the change in the fair value of the conversion feature was substantial. Accordingly, the Company recognized a Loss on settlement of notes payable in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Loss in the amount of $11.4 million, calculated as the difference between the reacquisition price of the debt and the net carrying amount of the notes.

Unsecured SPA

On May 8, 2023, the Company entered into the Unsecured SPA. The Unsecured SPA Notes are subject to an original issue discount of 10%, and are convertible, along with any interest accrued, into shares of Class A Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $71.40, subject to anti-dilution protection. When calculating the shares issuable upon conversion, the converted amount shall be decreased by 50% of the original issue discount pertaining to such amount.

Unless earlier paid, the Unsecured SPA Notes entitle the Unsecured SPA Purchasers, at each conversion date, to a Make-Whole Amount, in a combination of cash or Class A Common Stock at the Company’s discretion, in the amount of the interest that would have been payable if such converted amount was held to maturity based on an interest rate of 15% per annum. The conversion price of interest is the greater of (a) the floor price, $8.00 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions occurring after the date hereof) and (b) 90% of the lowest VWAP for the five consecutive trading days ending immediately prior to the conversion date.

Each Unsecured SPA Purchaser has the option within 12 months from the closing date to purchase additional Unsecured SPA Notes under similar terms for a total potential commitment of up to $50.0 million or with the consent of the Company a total of $100.0 million.

The Company elected the fair value option afforded by ASC 825, Financial Instruments, with respect to the Unsecured SPA Notes because the notes include features, such as a contingently exercisable put option, which meets the definition of an embedded derivative. The Company expenses the transaction costs to Changes in fair value of notes payable and warrant liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

As part of the Unsecured SPA the Unsecured SPA Purchasers also received warrants consistent with the rights, terms and privileges of the warrants afforded to the holders of the Secured SPA Notes.

First Amendment to the Unsecured SPA

On June 26, 2023, the Company entered into the First Unsecured SPA Amendment. The First Unsecured SPA Amendment enabled the Unsecured SPA Purchasers to postpone or cancel any closing of their commitment to purchase the Unsecured SPA Notes if the Company has not issued a press release or other public announcement confirming that the second phase of the Company’s Delivery Plan has begun on or prior to August 31, 2023, within 15 calendar days of such date. The First Unsecured SPA Amendment did not change the cash flows of the Unsecured SPA and is accounted for prospectively with no gain or loss recognized. On August 9, 2023, the Company announced that it had completed the relevant processes and steps that are needed for the second phase of delivery to begin.

Joinder Agreements

On June 26, 2023, the Company entered into a Joinder and Amendment Agreement (the “FFVV Joinder”) with FF Vitality Ventures LLC (“ FFVV”), pursuant to which FFSV agreed to exercise its option to purchase $20.0 million of Secured SPA Tranche B Notes, subject to certain closing conditions, including the delivery of a warrant to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock equal to 33% of FFSV’s conversion shares with an exercise price equal to $71.40. In addition, If FFSV exercises its option to invest another $10.0 million of Tranche B Notes in accordance with the terms of the Secured SPA on or prior to the later of (x) August 1, 2023 or (y) four business days after the meeting of the Company’s stockholders for the required stockholder approval under the Unsecured SPA to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock, then the Company agrees to subsequently amend the Unsecured SPA whereby FFVV would invest another $20.0 million in new unsecured notes subject to terms substantially identical to those provided in the Unsecured SPA.

Pursuant to the FFVV Joinder, FFVV agreed to purchase, Unsecured SPA Notes up to $40.0 million in eight installments. The floor price of the FFVV Unsecured SPA Notes and for each of the notes issued to FFSV (or its affiliates) under the Secured SPA, shall be $4.00 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions occurring thereafter). The funding at each closing is subject to various closing conditions, including: (a) an effective registration statement with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issuable under the Unsecured SPA and the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the FFVV Unsecured SPA Notes and

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(b) the Company shall have reserved the Required Reserve Amount (as defined in the FFVV Joinder) in full. In addition, FFVV has the option, for 12 months from June 25, 2023, to purchase Unsecured SPA Notes. FFVV agreed, on behalf of its affiliates, that FFSV may exchange any Tranche B Notes for either (x) Tranche D Notes, and/or (y) any Unsecured SPA Notes.

The Company agreed to pay FFVV a one-time $0.3 million working fee and legal fees not to exceed $0.4 million, which shall be paid by netting the purchase price for any new notes with the amount of such fees.

On June 26, 2023, Senyun executed a Second Joinder and Amendment Agreement (the “Senyun Joinder”), pursuant to which, Senyun agreed to exercise its option to purchase $15.0 million of Secured SPA Notes in accordance with the terms of the Secured SPA Notes. If Senyun exercises its option to invest another $10.0 million of Secured SPA Notes in accordance with the terms of the Secured SPA Notes on or prior to the later of (x) August 1, 2023 or (y) four business days after the meeting of the Company’s stockholders for the Stockholder Approval (as defined below), then the Company agrees to subsequently amend the Unsecured SPA Notes whereby Senyun would invest another $20.0 million. Senyun did not exercise this option.

Pursuant to the Senyun Joinder, Senyun agreed to purchase, under the Unsecured SPA Notes, unsecured notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million in eight installments. The floor price, for each note issued to Senyun (or its affiliates) under the SPA Notes, is $3.63 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions occurring thereafter).

The Company agreed to pay Senyun a one-time $0.2 million working fee and legal fees not to exceed $0.3 million, which shall be paid by netting the purchase price for any new notes with the amount of such fees.

The FFVV and Senyun Joinders do not trigger any adjustment to the conversion or exercise price of the notes and warrants under the SPA Notes, and Senyun and FFSV waived any such rights to any adjustment to the conversion or exercise price in each of the Secured SPA and/or the Unsecured SPA, as applicable, and the related warrants.

Amendment to Joinder and Amendment Agreement

On August 4, 2023, the Company entered into a Waiver and Amendment Agreement to the FFVV Joinder, pursuant to which FFVV agreed to waive any and all requirements of the Company to reserve shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the SPA Notes or SPA Warrants and defers any obligations of the Company to deliver any shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the SPA Notes or SPA Warrants until the earlier of (x) September 30, 2023 and (y) the earlier of (I) the trading day immediately following the date of consummation of a reverse stock split of the Common Stock and (II) the 15th business day after the Company’s receipt of stockholder approval to increase the authorized shares of Common Stock.

FFVV did not exercise this option.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 the Company entered into multiple dilutive stock sale and purchase transactions, as discussed in Note 2, Liquidity and Capital Resources above that triggered the full ratchet anti-dilution price protections embedded in the SPA Notes and SPA Warrants. As a result, the fixed-price conversion price of the SPA Notes and exercise price of the SPA Warrants outstanding prior to such financings was reduced to a price equal to the price per share paid in the dilutive financings. As of September 30, 2023 the SPA Note conversion and SPA Warrant exercise price equals $1.64.

The Company leased two real properties, located in Rancho Palos Verdes, California (the “Rancho Palos Verdes Properties”), from X-Butler from January 1, 2018 through March 31, 2022. X-Butler in turn leased the Rancho Palos Verdes Properties from Mr. Jia. The Rancho Palos Verdes Properties were used by the Company to provide long-term or temporary housing to employees of the Company (including Dr. Carsten Breitfeld, former Global Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Company). According to the agreement between the parties, the Company paid X-Butler for rent and certain services, including catering, room services and organization of meetings, external gatherings and events, for the Rancho Palos Verdes Properties.

In each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 X-Butler invoiced the Company approximately $0.1 million, for rent and business development services rendered to the Company and its executives. In each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 the Company paid to X-Butler less than $0.1 million, for rent and business development services rendered to the Company and its executives.

As part of its relationship with the Company, X-Butler also served as the conduit for certain loans from Ocean View, an entity formerly controlled by Mr. Jia and now wholly owned by the spouse of Mr. Ruokun Jia, who is the former Assistant Treasurer of the Company and Mr. Jia’s nephew. The loan principal was repaid to the Company in prior years and accrued interest on such loans remains outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 in the amount of $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

In prior years, the Company advanced funding to Ocean View for various real estate purchases, including the Rancho Palos Verdes Properties, and related expenses.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

The Company is, from time to time, subject to claims and disputes arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of any such claims and disputes cannot be predicted with certainty.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had accrued legal contingencies of $21.8 million and $18.9 million, respectively, recorded within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for potential financial exposure related to ongoing legal matters, primarily related to breach of contracts and employment matters, which are deemed both probable of loss and reasonably estimable. For the legal matters involving third-party vendors, such as suppliers and equipment manufacturers, the Company recorded an accrual in Accounts payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the amount invoiced by such vendors, which represents the minimum amount of loss out of the range of potential outcomes in accordance with ASC 450-20-30-1, Liabilities – Contingencies – Loss Contingencies – General.

Settlements

In October 2023, the Company agreed, in principle, to settle a putative class action lawsuit alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company denies all allegations but deemed a settlement to be in its best interest based on the facts and circumstances of the case and recommendation of a neutral mediator. The settlement agreement provides for a non-reversionary cash payment of $7.5 million for the benefit of the settlement class in exchange for the release of all claims asserted against the Company by the lead plaintiffs. On November 7, 2023, preliminary

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

approval for the settlement was granted, consequently, the Company and plaintiffs will move forward with the settlement process.

Derivative Actions

In March 2022, two putative derivative lawsuits alleging violations of the Exchange Act and various common law claims were filed in the United States District Court, Central District of California, and were subsequently consolidated (“California Federal Derivative Action”). The California Federal Derivative Action was stayed pending resolution of certain proceedings in the putative class action. The stay expired in February 2023 and plaintiffs filed a verified consolidated amended complaint on June 2, 2023. Defendants filed motions to dismiss on September 15, 2023. Plaintiffs must file any response in opposition to the motions to dismiss on or before November 22, 2023, and Defendants must file any reply in support of their motions to dismiss on or before December 21, 2023.

Additionally, in April 2022, two putative derivative lawsuits alleging violations of the Exchange Act and various common law claims were filed in the United States District Court, District of Delaware (the “Delaware Federal Derivative Actions”). The Delaware Derivative Actions were stayed pending resolution of certain proceedings in the putative class action and currently remain stayed.

In June 2023, an additional putative derivative lawsuit alleging common law claims was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court of Chancery”).

Given the early stages of the legal proceedings in the above derivative actions, it is not possible to predict the outcome of the claims.

Consolidated Delaware Class Action

In June 2022, a verified stockholder class action lawsuit alleging breaches of fiduciary duties was filed in the Court of Chancery (the “Yun Class Action”). In September 2022, a verified stockholder class action lawsuit alleging breaches of contract and fiduciary duties, and aiding and abetting alleged breaches of fiduciary duties, in connection with disclosures and stockholder voting leading up to the Business Combination was filed in the Court of Chancery (the “Cleveland Class Action”). The Yun Class Action and Cleveland Class Action were consolidated and the complaint in the Cleveland Class Action was designated as the operative pleading (the “Consolidated Delaware Class Action”). On April 7 2023, the defendants filed opening briefs in support of their respective motions to dismiss the complaint. Plaintiffs filed an omnibus answering brief in opposition to defendants’ motions to dismiss on September 26, 2023. Defendants must file any reply in support of the motions to dismiss on or before December 5, 2023. Given the early stages of the legal proceedings in the Consolidated Delaware Class Action, it is not possible to predict the outcome of the claims.

Palantir Technologies, Inc. (“Palantir”)

In July 2023, Palantir filed a demand for arbitration against the Company alleging the Company has refused to make payments under the July 12, 2021 Master Subscription Agreement (“MSA”), asserting claims for breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and unjust enrichment, for damages totaling $41.5 million. On August 4, 2023, the Company submitted its response to Palantir’s arbitration demand, including both a general denial of all allegations and affirmative defenses. Given the early stage of the legal proceeding, it is not possible to predict the outcome of the claims.

Other Legal Matters

In January 2023, Riverside Management Group, LLC (“Riverside”) filed a complaint seeking to enforce its alleged contractual right to the advancement of costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, it has and will incur as a named defendant in the Consolidated Delaware Class Action under its October 13, 2020 transaction services agreement with the PSAC Sponsor, LLC. The Company agreed to conditionally advance to Riverside the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs it incurs in defense of the Consolidated Delaware Class Action, subject to, and in express reservation of, the Company’s right to recover all such fees and expenses following disposition of the Consolidated Delaware Class Action. Given the early stage of the legal proceeding, the Company is unable to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and/or the amount or range of potential loss.

FF has received correspondence from each of Senyun, MHL and VW alleging that the Company had entered into oral agreements to compensate those investors for any losses in connection with converting their notes into shares of Class A

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Common Stock in order to support the Company’s proposals at its August 2023 special stockholders meeting. The Company is unaware of any such oral agreements and is contesting these claims on multiple grounds. Given the early stage of the legal proceeding, the Company is unable to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and/or the amount or range of potential loss.

Other than disclosed herein, as of the date hereof FF is not a party to any legal proceedings the outcome of which, if determined adversely to FF, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on FF’s business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Special Committee Investigation

In November 2021, the Board established a special committee of independent directors (“Special Committee”) to investigate allegations of inaccurate Company disclosures, including those made in an October 2021 short seller report and whistleblower allegations, which resulted in FFIE being unable to timely file its third quarter 2021 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, first quarter 2022 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and amended Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-258993). The Special Committee engaged outside independent legal counsel and a forensic accounting firm to assist in its review. On February 1, 2022, FFIE announced that the Special Committee completed its review. On April 14, 2022, FFIE announced the completion of additional investigative work based on the Special Committee’s findings which were performed under the direction of the Executive Chairperson, reporting to the Audit Committee. In connection with the Special Committee’s review and subsequent investigative work, the following findings were made.

In connection with the Business Combination, statements made by certain Company employees to certain investors describing the role of Mr. Jia, the Company’s founder and former CEO, within the Company were inaccurate and his involvement in the management of the Company post-Business Combination was more significant than what had been represented to certain investors.

•The Company’s statements leading up to the Business Combination that it had received more than 14,000 reservations for the FF 91 Futurist vehicle were potentially misleading because only several hundred of those reservations were paid, while the others (totaling 14,000) were unpaid indications of interest.

•Consistent with FFIE’s previous public disclosures regarding identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting requires an upgrade in personnel and systems.

•The Company’s corporate culture failed to sufficiently prioritize compliance.

•Mr. Jia’s role as an intermediary in leasing certain properties which were subsequently leased to the Company was not disclosed in FFIE’s corporate housing disclosures.

•In preparing FFIE’s related party transaction disclosures, the Company failed to investigate and identify the sources of loans received from individuals and entities associated with Company employees.

In addition, the investigation found that certain individuals failed to fully disclose to individuals involved in the preparation of FFIE’s SEC filings their relationships with certain related parties and affiliated entities in connection with, and following, the Business Combination, and failed to fully disclose relevant information, including but not limited to, information in connection with related parties and corporate governance to FFIE’s former independent registered public accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

The investigation also found that certain individuals failed to cooperate and withheld potentially relevant information in connection with the Special Committee investigation. Among such individuals were non-executive officers or members of the management team of FF, and remedial action was taken with respect to such individuals based on the extent of non-cooperation and/or withholding of information. The failure to cooperate with the investigation was taken into consideration in connection with the remedial actions outlined below with respect to Mr. Jiawei (“Jerry”) Wang, and Mr. Matthias Aydt.

Based on the results of the investigation, the Special Committee concluded that, except as described above, other substantive allegations of inaccurate FF disclosures that it evaluated were not supported by the evidence reviewed. Although the

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

investigation did not change any of the above findings with respect to the substantive allegations of inaccurate FF disclosures, the investigation did confirm the need for remedial actions to help ensure enhanced focus on compliance and disclosure within FF.

Based on the results of the Special Committee investigation and subsequent investigative work described above, the Board approved the following remedial actions designed to enhance oversight and corporate governance of the Company:

•The appointment of Ms. Susan Swenson, a former member of the Board, to the then newly created position of Executive Chairperson of FF;

•Dr. Carsten Breitfeld, FF’s former Global CEO, reporting directly to Ms. Swenson and receiving a 25% annual base salary reduction;

•The removal of Mr. Jia as an executive officer, although continuing in his position as Chief Product and User Ecosystem Officer of FFIE. Certain dual-reporting arrangements were eliminated with respect to Mr. Jia, and he was required to report directly to Ms. Swenson, a non-independent director nominated by FFGP. Mr. Jia also received a 25% annual base salary reduction, and his role was limited from a policy-making position to focusing on (a) product and mobility ecosystem and (b) Internet, Artificial Intelligence (“I.A.I.”), and advanced research and development (“R&D”) technology. On February 26, 2023, after an assessment by the Board of the Company’s management structure, the Board approved Mr. Jia (alongside Mr. Xuefeng Chen) reporting directly to the Board, as well as FF’s product, mobility ecosystem, I.A.I., and advanced R&D technology departments reporting directly to Mr. Jia. The Board also approved FF’s user ecosystem, capital markets, human resources and administration, corporate strategy and China departments reporting to both Mr. Jia and Mr. Chen, subject to processes and controls to be approved by the Board after consultation with the Company’s management. Based on the changes to his responsibilities within the Company, the Board determined that Mr. Jia is an “officer” of the Company within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and an “executive officer” of the Company under Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act;

•Mr. Aydt, former Senior Vice President, Business Development and Product Definition of FFIE, and current Global Chief Executive Officer and a director of FFIE, being placed on probation as an executive officer for a six-month period, during which period he remained a non-independent member of the Board, which probationary period has since ended;

•The appointment of Mr. Jordan Vogel as Lead Independent Director; certain changes to the composition of Board committees, including Mr. Brian Krolicki stepping down from his role as Chairman of the Board and Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and becoming a member of the Audit and Compensation Committees of the Board; Mr. Jordan Vogel stepping down from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; and Mr. Scott Vogel becoming the Chair of the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board;

•The suspension without pay of Mr. Wang, former Vice President, Global Capital Markets, who subsequently notified the Board of his decision to resign from FF on April 10, 2022;

•The assessment and enhancement of FF’s policies and procedures regarding financial accounting and reporting and the upgrading of FF’s internal control over financial accounting and reporting, including by hiring additional financial reporting and accounting support, in each case at the direction of the Audit Committee;

•The implementation of enhanced controls around FF’s contracting and related party transactions, including regular attestations by FF’s employees with authority to bind FF to contracts and related party transactions, for purposes of enabling FF to make complete and accurate disclosures regarding related party transactions;

•The hiring of a Chief Compliance Officer, who reports on a dotted line to the Chair of the Audit Committee, and assessing and enhancing FF’s compliance policies and procedures. The Company hired a Compliance Officer with the title of Deputy General Counsel in March 2023, who reports on a dotted line to the Chair of the Audit Committee, and is actively looking to hire a Chief Compliance Officer;

•The implementation of a comprehensive training program for all directors and officers regarding, among other things, internal FF policies;

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

•The separation of Mr. Jarret Johnson, FF’s Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary; and in other disciplinary actions and terminations of employment with respect to other FF employees (none of whom is an executive officer).

As of September 30, 2023, FF is continuing to implement certain of the remedial actions approved by the Board. However, certain of these remedial actions are no longer in effect and no assurance can be provided that those remedial measures that continue to be implemented will be implemented in a timely manner or at all, or will be successful to prevent inaccurate disclosures in the future. Additionally, pursuant to the agreement between FF Global and FFGP, on September 23 2022, FF has implemented certain governance changes, including Board composition and leadership, that impact certain of the above-discussed remedial actions.

SEC and DOJ Investigations

As previously reported, the Company is subject to investigation by the SEC dealing with matters related to the Special Committee investigation, the Company’s transactions with Senyun, timing of the Company’s deliveries, and the consulting and sales agreements with the first three users of the FF 91 Futurist. FF is cooperating fully with the SEC’s investigation, including responding to multiple subpoenas and requests for information. The outcome of such an investigation is difficult to predict. FF has incurred, and may continue to incur, significant expenses related to legal, accounting and other professional services in connection with the SEC investigation. At this stage, FF is unable to assess whether any material loss or adverse effect is reasonably possible as a result of the SEC’s investigation or estimate the range of any potential loss.

In addition, in June 2022, FF received a preliminary request for information from the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) in connection with the matters that were the subject of the Special Committee investigation. FF has responded to that request and intends to fully cooperate with any future requests from the DOJ.

The Palantir License

In July 2021, the Company and Palantir entered into the MSA that sets forth the terms of the Palantir’s platform hosting arrangement. Under the MSA, the Company committed to pay a total of $47.0 million of hosting fees over a six-year term, $5.3 million of which was paid in 2021. The software is cloud hosted for the entirety of the subscription term and the Company cannot take possession of the software. Accordingly, the Company determined that the MSA represents a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. The Company recognizes hosting costs on a straight-line basis over the agreement term.

In connection with the MSA, the Company has recorded $12.3 million and $2.5 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, in Accounts payable and recorded $3.0 million as of December 31, 2022 in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized expense of $2.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, related to the MSA. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized expense of $5.9 million and $5.9 million, respectively, related to the MSA.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

Amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation

On the Closing Date of the Business Combination, the Company’s stockholders adopted the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The amendment set forth the rights, privileges, and preferences of the Class A Common Stock and 6,562,500 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”). The amendment authorizes the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board. The Board is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue the Preferred Stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of Common Stock; provided that any issuance of Preferred Stock with more than one vote per share will require the prior approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock.

At a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on November 3, 2022, stockholders approved, among other things, an increase to the number of the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock from 20,312,500 to 26,750,000. On November 22, 2022, the Company filed an amendment to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the increase.

Additionally, at a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on August 16, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal authorizing the Board to effect a reverse stock split of the outstanding Common Stock at a range between 1-for-2 and 1-for-90 shares of outstanding Common Stock, and a proposal stating that a reverse stock split is implemented at a ratio of 1-for-8 or greater, the Company will amend its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to reduce the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock to a number equal to 12,355,000,000 divided by the reverse stock split ratio determined by the Board. On August 22, 2023, the Board approved the Reverse Stock Split ratio. Accordingly, on August 24, 2023, the Company filed the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to effect the Reverse Stock Split and to set the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 154,437,500 (which is 12,355,000,000 divided by 80, the Reverse Stock Split ratio). As a result, effective August 25, 2023, every 80 shares of the issued and outstanding Common Stock were converted into one share of Common Stock, without any change in par value per share, and the authorized shares of Common Stock were reduced to 154,437,500, composed of (i) 147,875,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) 6,562,500 shares of Class B Common Stock. No fractional shares of Common Stock were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise have received a fractional share were instead issued a full share in lieu of such fractional share.

The Class A Common Stock began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis at the opening of trading on August 28, 2023 under the symbol “FFIE” with a new CUSIP number (307359 505). The Company’s Public Warrants continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FFIEW” and the CUSIP number for the warrants remains unchanged.

Series A Preferred Stock

On June 16, 2023, in connection with a purchase agreement entered into with Mr. Chen, the Company’s Global CEO at that time, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Series A Certificate of Designation designates one share of the Company’s Preferred Stock as Series A preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred”) and establishes and designates the preferences, rights and limitations thereof. The closing of the sale and purchase of the share of Series A Preferred was completed on June 16, 2023 for a purchase price of $100.00.

The share of Series A Preferred is not convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or series of stock or other securities of the Company. The share of Series A Preferred shall not be entitled to receive dividends.

The holder of the Series A Preferred is entitled to 60,000,000,000 votes for each share held of record, but has the right to vote only on any reverse stock split proposal and until such time as a reverse stock split proposal is approved by the stockholders, and will have no voting rights except (i) with respect to a reverse stock split proposal in which its votes are cast for and against such reverse stock split proposal in the same proportion as shares of Common Stock are voted for and against such reverse stock split proposal (with any shares of Common Stock that are not voted, whether due to abstentions, broker non-votes or otherwise not counted as votes for or against the reverse stock split proposal) and (ii) unless the holders of one-third (1/3rd) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting of stockholders at which a reverse stock split proposal is submitted for stockholder approval (or any adjournment thereof). The share of Series A Preferred will vote together with the Common Stock as a single class on any reverse stock split proposal. The Series A Preferred has no other voting rights, except as may be required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Upon a liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, merger, acquisition, sale, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, pursuant to which assets of the Company or consideration received by the Company are to be distributed to the stockholders, the holder of the Series A Preferred will be entitled to receive, before any payment is made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount equal to $100.00.

The Series A Preferred may not be transferred at any time prior to stockholder approval of a reverse stock split without the prior written consent of the Board. The outstanding share of Series A Preferred will be redeemed in whole, but not in part, for a redemption price of $100.00, payable out of funds lawfully available therefor, (i) if such redemption is ordered by the

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Board in its sole discretion, automatically and effective on such time and date specified by the Board in its sole discretion, or (ii) automatically immediately following the approval by the Company’s stockholders of a reverse stock split. The Series A Preferred was redeemed for $100.00 following the August 16, 2023 special meeting of the Company’s stockholders.

The number of outstanding warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock as of December 31, 2022 were as follows:


	Number of Warrants	Exercise Price	Expiration Date
SPA Warrants	4,330,664	$18.40	Various through September 23, 2029
ATW NPA Warrants(1)	960,056	$18.40	Various through August 10, 2028

(1) The ATW NPA Warrants were fully exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, through which the Company received aggregate proceeds of $0.3 million that was recorded as an increase to Additional paid-in capital.

Insufficient Authorized Shares

From time to time, certain of the Company’s equity-linked financial instruments may be classified as derivative liabilities under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, due to the Company having insufficient authorized shares to fully settle the equity-linked financial instruments in shares. In such case, the Company applies a sequencing policy under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, whereby, in the event that reclassification of contracts from equity to assets or liabilities is necessary due to the Company’s inability to demonstrate it has sufficient authorized shares to settle the equity-linked financial instrument in shares, the Company will reclassify contracts that have overlapping settlement dates with the latest inception date as derivative instruments. The contracts reclassified as derivative instruments are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings until such time as the conditions giving rise to such derivative liability classification were settled or the Company has sufficient authorized, unissued shares to settle such contracts with shares. The Company has elected to apply the same sequencing policy for share-based compensation arrangements if the Company granted share-based payment arrangements where the Company may have insufficient shares to settle the contract.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company reclassified the earnout shares from equity classification to liability classification as a result of the Company having insufficient authorized shares to share-settle the earnout, which was previously determined to be equity classified under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. As a result of the

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

reclassification, the Company reclassified $2.3 million out of Additional paid-in capital into the Earnout liability, which is included in Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company reclassified 672,758 shares of outstanding share-based payment arrangements from equity classification to liability classification as a result of the Company having insufficient authorized shares to settle the share-based payment arrangements when the awards vest or are exercised. As a result of the reclassification, the Company reclassified an amount of $4.0 million out of Additional paid-in capital into Share-based payment liability, which is included in Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022.

On February 28, 2023, upon shareholder approval to increase the Company’s authorized shares, the Company had sufficient authorized shares to fully settle all outstanding equity-linked financial instruments. As of April 21, 2023, the Company had insufficient authorized shares to fully settle its equity-linked financial instruments in shares primarily due to the issuance of additional convertible notes and warrants between February 28, 2023 and April 21, 2023.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split and the related increase in the number of available authorized shares of Class A Common Stock, effective August 25, 2023 the Company has sufficient authorized shares of Class A Common Stock to fully settle its equity-linked financial instruments in shares. Accordingly, on August 25, 2023, the Company reclassified the fair value of the Earnout liability of $1.4 million and the fair value of the Share-based payment liability of $2.0 million into Additional paid-in capital. Refer to the table summarizing the activity of Level 3 fair value measurements in Note 12 for the changes in fair value of the Earnout liability and the Share-based payment liability recognized in periods when they were thus classified.

Salary Deduction and Stock Purchase Agreement

On September 21, 2023, certain executive officers of the Company entered into Salary Deduction and Stock Purchase Agreements (collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Company. Under the Purchase Agreement, on each payroll date after the receipt of stockholder approval of the Purchase Agreement, the officer has agreed to authorize the Company to deduct 50% of the officer’s after-tax base salary. This deducted amount will be used to purchase a number of shares of Class A Common Stock determined using the VWAP (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) of Class A Common Stock per share on the applicable payroll date. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the officer may decrease the amount of the deduction upon notice to the Board. No shares have been purchased under the Salary Deduction and Stock Purchase Agreements as of September 30, 2023.

11. Stock-Based Compensation

2021 Stock Incentive Plan (“2021 SI Plan”)

In July 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 SI Plan. The 2021 SI Plan allows the Board to grant incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted shares, unrestricted shares, restricted share units, and other stock-based awards for Class A Common Stock to employees, directors, and non-employees. At the special meeting held on August 16, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved (among other proposals) an amendment to the 2021 SI Plan to increase the number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for issuance under the 2021 SI Plan by an additional 2,584,825 shares.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2021 SI Plan, the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, and the Company’s Special Talent Incentive Plan (the “Plans”), as well as the number of shares subject to the then-outstanding awards under each of the Plans, were proportionately adjusted, using the 1-for-80 ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share. In addition, the exercise price of the then-outstanding stock options under each of the Plans was proportionately adjusted, using the 1-for-80 ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had 3,352,775 and 303,156 shares of Class A Common Stock available for future issuance under its 2021 SI Plan.

SOP/SOD Incentive Plan

On February 23, 2023, the Board approved the Company’s SOP/SOD Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan”) granting: (i) cash bonuses to all active employees of the Company that began employment at the Company prior to December 31, 2022 upon the commencement of the start of production of the Company’s FF 91 Futurist on or prior to March 31, 2023 and (ii) cash bonuses and equity incentive awards to all active employees of the Company that began employment at the Company prior to December

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

31, 2022 upon the commencement of the start of delivery of the Company’s FF 91 Futurist on or prior to April 30, 2023 (“Delivery Condition”).

On August 17, 2023, the Board approved an amendment to the Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan Amendment”) to reflect the updated timing of the previously announced FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance phase two of its Delivery Plan from the end of April 2023 to the end of the second quarter 2023 and subsequently to August 2023. The Incentive Plan Amendment is available to all active employees of the Company that began employment at the Company prior to July 1, 2023 and reduced the cash bonuses and milestone based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) by 10% for the internal Company sign-off on requirements to commence phase two of the Company’s Delivery Plan on or prior to July 31, 2023 (“New Delivery Condition”). Pursuant to the Incentive Plan Amendment, RSU awards will be granted after the Company has sufficient additional shares available for such issuance (“Share Issuance Condition”) and cash bonuses will be paid once the Company has received an additional $15.0 million in financings.

The Incentive Plan Amendment includes the grant of RSUs to certain executive officers of the Company upon the Company’s satisfaction of the New Delivery Condition and the Share Issuance Condition with a grant date fair market value of approximately $8.0 million, subject to vesting in three annual installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date, generally subject to the applicable executive’s continuous employment through each applicable vesting date. In addition, subject to the Share Issuance Condition, upon the satisfaction of the New Delivery Condition and continuing for an eight-year period, certain executive officers will annually receive a grant of fully-vested RSUs with a grant date fair market value of $0.78 million, subject to their continued employment through each grant date of the award.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized $0.7 million of cash bonus expense under the Incentive Plan. As a result of the Share Issuance Condition not yet being met, no RSUs have been granted under the Incentive Plan.

Other than the above, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company granted:

•0.04 million stock options which had a weighted-average grant date fair value of $86.40 per share. 25,000 stock options vest ratably over eight years. 12,500 stock options commenced vesting on March 29, 2023 upon the start of production of the FF 91 Futurist Alliance at its FF ieFactory California, and 25% of such stock options will vest on each of the first four one-year anniversaries of the vesting start date. As of September 30, 2023, the total remaining stock-based compensation expense for unvested stock options was $0.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.85 years.

•0.08 million RSUs, which had a weighted-average grant date fair value of $75.52 per share, and 0.01 million performance share units (“PSUs”), which had a weighted-average grant date fair value of $86.40 per share. The substantial majority of the RSUs will vest ratably over four years. The PSUs will commence vesting upon the start of delivery of the FF 91 Futurist Alliance, and 25% of such PSUs will vest on each of the first four one-year anniversaries of the vesting start date. As of September 30, 2023, the total remaining stock-based compensation expense for unvested RSU’s was $1.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.24 years.

The following table presents stock-based compensation expense included in each respective expense category in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Loss:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

when the Company’s share-based payment awards were classified as liabilities from time to time during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, which defines a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and expands on required disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement relate to financial assets and liabilities as well as other assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. The standard clarifies that fair value is an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the standard establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, or interest in open-end mutual funds that allow a company to sell its ownership interest back at net asset value on a daily basis. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets, liabilities, or funds.

Level 2Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer, or broker markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 instruments typically include U.S. Government and agency debt securities and corporate obligations. Valuations are usually obtained through market data of the investment itself as well as market transactions involving comparable assets, liabilities or funds.

Level 3Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, such as option pricing models, discounted cash flow models or similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker-traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial or nonfinancial asset or liability.

Notes Payable

The Company has elected to measure certain notes payable and related party notes payable at fair value. Specifically, the SPA Notes as they contain embedded liquidation premiums with conversion rights that represent embedded derivatives (see Note 7, Notes Payable). The Company used a binomial lattice model and discounted cash flow methodology to value the SPA Notes. The significant assumptions used in the models include the volatility of the Class A Common Stock, the Company’s expectations around the full ratchet trigger, the Company’s debt discount rate based on a CCC rating, annual dividend yield, and the expected life of the instrument. Fair value measurements associated with the notes payable represent Level 3 valuations under the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value adjustments related to notes payables were recorded in Change in fair value measurements on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

SPA Warrants

The Company has elected to measure the SPA Warrants at fair value. The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to measure the fair value of the SPA Warrants, where the significant assumptions used include the volatility of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, the Company’s expectations around the full ratchet trigger, the contractual term of the SPA Warrants, the risk-free rate and annual dividend yield. Fair value measurements associated with the liability-classified warrants represent Level 3 valuations under the fair value hierarchy.

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

SEPA

Since November 14, 2022, the Company has had the right, but not the obligation, to issue and sell to Yorkville up to $200.0 million in shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company determined that SEPA represents a derivative financial instrument under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, which should be recorded at fair value at inception and each reporting date thereafter. The financial instrument was classified as a derivative asset with a fair value of zero as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Liabilities due to Insufficient Authorized Shares

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following tables present financial liabilities remeasured on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy:


	September 30, 2023
(in thousands)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Liabilities:
Warrant liabilities1	$	—	$	—	$	1,730
Notes payable1	—		—		95,445

Notes payable	—		—		26,008
Earnout shares liability	—		—		2,250
Share-based payment liabilities	—		—		3,977

There were not any transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash, restricted cash, deposits, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and current notes payable approximate fair value because of their short-term nature or contractually defined value.

13. Net Loss per Share

Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares to be issued under the commitment to issue shares, as these shares are issuable for no consideration. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders adjusts the basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders and the weighted-average number of shares issued and shares to be issued under the commitment to issue shares for potentially dilutive instruments. For purposes of presentation of basic and diluted net loss per shares, the Company includes shares to be issued in the denominator in accordance with ASC 710-10-54-4 and ASC 260-10-45-48, Earnings Per Share - Overall - Other Presentation Matters - Contingently Issuable Shares, as if they had been issued on the date of the Business Combination (see Note 1, Nature of Business and Organization and Basis of Presentation), as such shares are non-contingent and are issuable for no consideration.

The net loss per common share was the same for the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock because they are entitled to the same liquidation and dividend rights and are therefore combined in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Because the Company reported net losses for all periods presented, all potentially dilutive Common Stock equivalents were determined to be antidilutive for those periods and have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per share.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The following table presents the potentially dilutive shares that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share of Common Stock attributable to Common Stock stockholders because their effect was anti-dilutive:

14. Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued. Other than as described below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Conversion of Notes Payable into Class A Common Stock

Between October 2, 2023 and November 9, 2023, the Purchasers converted portions of the aggregate principal amount of $9.4 million notes payable into 10,570,266 shares of Class A Common Stock including aggregate principle amount of $1.5 million of related party notes payable (MHL) into 1,781,682 shares of Class A Common Stock.

Sale Leaseback Transaction

On October 19, 2023, Faraday&Future Inc. (the “Tenant”), a subsidiary of FFIE, entered into a sale leaseback transaction whereby it has exercised its option to purchase the FF ieFactory California and simultaneously completed a sale leaseback to Ocean West Capital Partners (“Landlord”) pursuant to that certain Lease Agreement, dated as of October 19, 2023, by and between the Tenant and 10701 Idaho Owner, LLC (the “Lease Agreement”). The Lease Agreement also allows the Tenant to access to up to $12.0 million of tenant improvement allowance for the FF ieFactory California. The new lease will be for a term of five years, with a monthly lease rate of $0.4 million, with a five-year extension option, and the Tenant has an option to purchase the fee interest in the FF ieFactory California at any time after the second year of the lease term. Furthermore, the Tenant has a right of first offer to purchase the FF ieFactory California in the event Landlord desires to sell the FF ieFactory California.

Unsecured SPA Funding

In October 2023, VW and MHL funded an additional portion of Unsecured SPA Notes. The Company received net proceeds of $1.8 million in exchange for such issuance.

At-the-Market Funding

Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the Company has sold 14,273,045 shares of Class A Common Stock for a total gross proceeds of $16.6 million. The Company pays a fee of 3.5% of the gross sales price, to the Sales Agents and received $16.1 million net of this fee.

Overview

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “FF,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a California-based, global, shared, intelligent, mobility ecosystem company founded in 2014 with a vision to disrupt the automotive industry.

On July 21, 2021, FF (f/k/a Property Solutions Acquisition Corp. (“PSAC”)), a Delaware corporation, consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of January 27, 2021 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among PSAC, PSAC Merger Sub Ltd., an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and wholly-owned subsidiary of PSAC (“Merger Sub”), and FF Intelligent Mobility Global Holdings Ltd. (“Legacy FF”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy FF, with Legacy FF surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Business Combination”).

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, PSAC changed its name from Property Solutions Acquisition Corp. to Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc., and FF’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Class A Common Stock”) and 287,220 public warrants (the “Public Warrants”) began trading on The Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbols “FFIE” and “FFIEW,” respectively.

With headquarters in Los Angeles, California, FF designs and engineers next-generation, intelligent, connected, electric vehicles. FF manufactures vehicles at its production facility in Hanford, California (the “FF ieFactory California”), with additional future production capacity needs addressed through a contract manufacturing agreement with Myoung Shin Co., Ltd. (“Myoung Shin”), an automotive manufacturer headquartered in South Korea. FF has additional engineering, sales, and operational capabilities in China and is exploring opportunities for potential manufacturing capabilities in China through a joint venture or other arrangements.

Since its founding, FF has created major innovations in technology, products, and a user-centered business model. FF believes these innovations will enable FF to set new standards in luxury and performance that will redefine the future of intelligent mobility.

We believe the following combination of capabilities of FF’s products, technology, the recent upgrade to FF Product and Technology Upgrade Generation 2.0 (PT Gen 2.0), team, and business model distinguish FF from its competitors:

•FF has designed and developed a breakthrough mobility platform — its proprietary Variable Platform Architecture (“VPA”).

•FF’s propulsion system provides a competitive edge in acceleration and range, enabled by an expected industry-leading inverter design, and propulsion system.

•FF’s advanced Internet Artificial Intelligence (“I.A.I.”) technology offers high-performance computing, high speed internet connectivity, Over the Air (“OTA”) updating, an open ecosystem for third-party application integration, and a Level 3 autonomous driving-ready system, in addition to several other proprietary innovations that enable FF to build an advanced, highly-personalized user experience.

•Since inception, FF has developed a portfolio of intellectual property, established its proposed supply chain, and assembled a global team of automotive and technology experts and innovators to achieve its goal of redefining the future of the automotive industry. As of November 7, 2023, FF has been granted approximately 660 patents globally.

•FF’s B2C (business-to-customer) passenger vehicle pipeline over the next five years is planned to include the FF 91 series, the FF 81 series, and the FF 71 series.

•FF believes that the FF 91 Futurist ( the “FF 91,” “FF 91 Futurist,” or “FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance”) will be the first ultra-luxury electric vehicle to offer a highly-personalized, fully-connected user experience for driver and passengers. FF started production on the first FF 91 futurist and delivered the first FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance in the first half of 2023.

•Subject to future financing, FF plans to produce and deliver its second passenger vehicle, the FF 81, which will be a premium, mass-market electric vehicle positioned to compete against the Tesla Model S, Tesla Model X, the BMW 5-series, and the Nio ES8.

•Subject to future financing, FF plans to develop a mass-market passenger vehicle, the FF 71. FF expects to start production and deliveries of the FF 71 subsequent to production and deliveries of the FF 81. The FF 71 will integrate full connectivity and advanced technology into a smaller vehicle size and is positioned to compete against the Tesla Model 3, Tesla Model Y, and the BMW 3-series.

•Subject to future financing, FF plans to develop a Smart Last Mile Delivery (“SLMD”) vehicle to address the high-growth, last-mile delivery opportunity, particularly in Europe, China and the U.S. FF’s modular VPA facilitates entry into the last-mile delivery segment, allowing FF to expand its total addressable market and avenues of growth.

All FF vehicles are expected to be available for sale in the U.S. and China, with potential expansion to European markets.

Emerging Growth Company Status

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies. Any such election to not take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable.

FF is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act and has elected to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period for new or revised financial accounting standards. FF expects to continue to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period, although it may decide to early adopt such new or revised accounting standards to the extent permitted by such standards. This may make it difficult or impossible to compare our financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or is an emerging growth company that has chosen not to take advantage of the extended transition period exemptions because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Segment Information

On February 26, 2023, after an assessment by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) of the Company’s management structure, the Board approved Mr. Yueting Jia (alongside Mr. Xuefeng Chen) reporting directly to the Board, as well as FF’s product, mobility ecosystem, I.A.I., and advanced research and development (“R&D”) technology departments reporting directly to Mr. Jia. The Board also approved FF’s user ecosystem, capital markets, human resources and administration, corporate strategy and China departments reporting to both Mr. Jia and Mr. Chen, subject to processes and controls to be determined by the Board after consultation with the Company’s management. Based on the changes to his responsibilities within the Company, the Board determined that Mr. Jia is an “officer” of the Company within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and an “executive officer” of the Company under Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act.

Therefore, the Company’s co-CODM's are both its Global Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Founder. The Company has determined that it operates in one operating segment and one reportable segment, as the co-CODM’s review financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. Substantially all of the Company’s consolidated operating activities, including its long-lived assets, are located within the U.S. Given the Company’s pre-revenue operating stage, it currently has no concentration exposure to products, services or customers.

On September 16, 2023, Mr. Chen notified the Company of his decision to resign from his position as Global CEO of the Company and as a member of the Board effective September 29, 2023. On September 21, 2023, the Board appointed Mattias Aydt to succeed Mr. Chen as Global Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board, effective September 29, 2023. The change in the Company’s Global CEO has not impacted the Company’s prior determination that its co-CODM's are both its Global CEO and Founder.

Recent Developments

Recent Governance Developments

•On August 4, 2023, the Board appointed Mr. Lev Peker as a member of the Board and as a member and Chair of the Audit Committee of the Board to fill the vacancy on the Board and Audit Committee created by Mr. Adam (Xin) He’s resignation from the Board on July 31, 2023. In connection with Mr. He’s resignation, and to comply with the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) Listing Rule 5605(c)(4)(B), on August 2, 2023, the Company notified Nasdaq that the Company no longer complied with Nasdaq’s independent director and audit committee requirements as set forth in Listing Rule 5605 as the Board was not comprised of a majority of independent directors as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1) and the Audit Committee was not comprised of at least three independent directors as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which noncompliance was subsequently cured by the appointment of Mr. Peker as a member of the Board and as a member of the Audit Committee. In response to the Company’s notice, Nasdaq issued a letter to the Company on August 4, 2023 indicating that, effective July 31, 2023, the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq’s independent director and audit committee requirements as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605. As a result of the appointment of Mr. Peker as a member of the Board and as a member and chair of the Audit Committee, the Company regained compliance with the board independence requirements as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1) and the audit committee requirements as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A).

•At a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on August 16, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal authorizing the Board to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a range between 1-for-2 and 1-for-90, and a proposal stating that if a reverse stock split is implemented at a ratio of 1-for-8 or greater, the Company will amend its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to reduce the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock to a number equal to 12,355,000,000 divided by the reverse stock split ratio determined by the Board. On August 22, 2023, the Board approved a reverse stock split ratio of 1-for-80 of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Accordingly, on August 24, 2023, the Company filed the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to effect the Reverse Stock Split and to set the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, to 154,437,500 (which is 12,355,000,000 divided by 80, the Reverse Stock Split ratio). As a result, effective August 25, 2023, every 80 shares of the issued and outstanding Common Stock were converted into one share of Common Stock, without any change in par value per share, and the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock were reduced to 154,437,500, composed of (i) 147,875,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) 6,562,500 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”). No fractional shares of common stock were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise have received a fractional share were instead issued a full share in lieu of such fractional share.

•On September 16, 2023, Mr. Chen notified the Company of his decision to resign from his position as Global CEO of the Company and as a member of the Board effective September 29, 2023. On September 21, 2023, the Board appointed Mr. Mattias Aydt to succeed Mr. Chen as Global Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board, effective September 29, 2023.

•On October 10, 2023, Ke Sun, a member of the Board notified the Company of her decision to resign as a director of the Company effective immediately.

Components of FF’s Results of Operations

Key Factors Affecting Operating Results

FF’s performance and future success depend on several factors that present significant opportunities but also pose risks and challenges including those discussed below and, in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K/A, as updated in this Report.

Production and Operations

FF expects to continue to incur significant operating costs that will impact its future profitability, including R&D expenses as it introduces new models and improves existing models; capital expenditures for the expansion of its manufacturing

capacities; additional operating costs and expenses for production ramp-up; raw material procurement costs; general and administrative expenses as it scales its operations; interest expense from debt financing activities; and selling and distribution expenses as it builds its brand and markets its vehicles. FF may incur significant costs in connection with its services once it delivers the FF 91 Futurist, including servicing and warranty costs. FF’s ability to become profitable in the future will depend on its ability to successfully market its vehicles and control its costs.

As of September 30, 2023, FF has delivered only three vehicles to spire users. As a result, FF will require substantial additional capital to develop products and fund operations for the foreseeable future. Until FF can generate sufficient revenue from product sales, FF will fund its ongoing operations through a combination of various funding and financing alternatives, including equipment leasing and construction financing of the FF ieFactory California, secured syndicated debt financing, convertible notes, working capital loans, and equity offerings, among other options. The particular funding mechanisms, terms, timing, and amounts are dependent on the Company’s assessment of opportunities available in the marketplace and the circumstances of the business at the relevant time. Any delays in the successful completion of its FF ieFactory California will impact FF’s ability to generate revenue. For additional discussion of the substantial doubt about FF’s ability to continue as a going concern, see Note 2, Liquidity and Capital Resources in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and for further details on liquidity, please see the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below.

Revenue Recognition

Automotive Sales Revenue

We began the production of our FF 91 Futurist in March 2023 and started making deliveries to customers in August 2023.

Automotive sales revenue includes revenues related to deliveries of new vehicles, and specific other features and services including home charger, charger installation, twenty-four-seven roadside assistance, OTA software updates, internet connectivity and destination fees.

We recognize revenue on automotive sales upon delivery to the customer, which is when control of a vehicle transfers. Payments are typically received at the point control transfers or in accordance with payment terms customary to the business indicated in the sales contract. OTA software updates are provisioned upon control transfer of a vehicle and recognized over time on a straight-line basis as we have a stand-ready obligation to deliver such services to the customer. For our obligations related to automotive sales, we estimate standalone selling price by considering costs used to develop and deliver the good or service, third-party pricing of similar options and other information that may be available. The transaction price is allocated among the performance obligations in proportion to the standalone selling price of our performance obligations. Our vehicle contracts do not contain a significant financing component.

We have entered into and may continue to enter into co-creator consulting agreements with our customers under which customers share feedback, driving data, ideas, experiences with our engineers, social media posts and other promotions in exchange for specified fees. We consider these arrangements consideration payable to a customer. The consideration paid to the customer relates to marketing and R&D services that are distinct and could be purchased by the Company from a separate third-party. We perform an analysis in which we maximize the use of observable market inputs to ascribe a fair value to these services and record the fair value of these services to sales and marketing expense or R&D expense, as applicable. Any consideration payable to a customer that is above the fair value of the distinct services being provided is treated as a reduction of revenue.

Customer Deposits

The Company’s customers may reserve a vehicle and preorder certain services by making a customer deposit, which is fully refundable at any time. Refundable deposits, for vehicle reservations and services, received from customers prior to an executed vehicle purchase agreement are recorded as customer deposits (Accrued expenses and other current liabilities). Customer deposits were $3.3 million and $3.4 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. When vehicle purchase agreements are executed, the consideration for the vehicle and any accompanying products and services must be paid in advance prior to the transfer of products or services by the Company. Such advance payments are considered non-refundable, and the Company defers revenue related to any products or services that are not yet transferred.

Warranties

Cost of Automotive Sales Revenue

Operating Expenses

Research and Development

R&D activities represent a significant part of FF’s business. FF’s R&D efforts focus on the design and development of FF’s electric vehicles and continuing to prepare its prototype electric vehicles to exceed industry standards for compliance, innovation, and performance. R&D expenses consist of personnel-related costs (including salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation) for FF’s employees focused on R&D activities, other related costs, depreciation, R&D services provided by co-creators, and an allocation of overhead. FF expects R&D expenses to decrease in the near future as the Company substantially completed R&D activities related to the FF 91.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs (including salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation) for FF’s employees focused on sales and marketing, costs associated with sales and marketing activities, marketing services provided by co-creators, and an allocation of overhead. Marketing activities are those related to introducing FF’s brand and its electric vehicle prototypes to the market. FF expects selling and marketing expenses to continue to increase as FF brings its electric vehicles to market and seeks to generate sales.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, (including salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation) for employees associated with administrative services such as legal, human resources, information technology, accounting and finance, other related costs, and legal loss contingency expenses, which are FF’s estimates of future legal settlements. These expenses also include certain third-party consulting services, certain facilities costs, and any corporate overhead costs not allocated to other expense categories. FF expects its general and administrative expenses to increase as FF continues to grow its business.

Loss on Disposal of Property and Equipment

Loss on disposal of property and equipment relates to the abandonment of certain FF 91 Futurist program construction in progress assets, primarily vendor tooling, machinery, and equipment, due to the redesign of the related FF 91 components and implementation of FF’s cost reduction program. Charges associated with disposals are recognized within operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Change in Fair Value of Earnout Liability

Legacy FF shareholders, as of the Closing Date of the Business Combination until its fifth anniversary, are entitled to contingent consideration of up to 312,500 additional shares of Class A Common Stock in the aggregate in two equal tranches upon the occurrence of each earnout triggering event (“Earnout Shares”). The Company recognized the Earnout Shares at fair value upon the closing of the Business Combination and classified them in Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) since the Earnout Shares were determined to be indexed to the Company’s own stock and meet the requirements for equity classification in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. From time to time subsequent to the closing of the Business Combination, the Earnout Shares may be classified as derivative liabilities under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, due to the Company having insufficient authorized shares to fully settle the equity-linked financial instruments in shares. The Earnout Shares reclassified as derivative instruments are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings until such time as the conditions giving rise to such derivative liability classification were settled or the Company has sufficient authorized, unissued shares to settle such contracts with shares.

Non-operating Expenses

Change in Fair Value of (Related Party and Third Party) Notes Payable and Warrant Liabilities

Change in fair value measurements consists of the losses and gains as a result of fair value measurements of certain notes payable and warrant liabilities which FF records at fair value.

Loss on Settlement of (Related Party and Third Party) Notes Payable

Loss on settlement of notes payable consists of losses resulting from the settlement of notes payable as part of the Company’s ongoing financing activities and losses incurred on modifications of the Company’s notes payable that qualify as an extinguishment pursuant to ASC 470-50, Debt–Modifications and Extinguishments.

Interest Expense

Interest expense primarily consists of interest on outstanding notes payable, finance leases, and certain supplier payables.

Related Party Interest Expense

Related party interest expense consists of interest expense on notes payable with related parties.

Other Expense, net

Other expense, net consists of foreign currency transaction gains and losses and other expenses such as bank fees and late charges. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are generated by revaluation of debt and the settlements of invoices denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. FF expects other expense to fluctuate as FF continues to transact internationally.

Automotive sales revenue was $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The Company started vehicle delivery to its customers during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Cost of Revenues


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Change
(in thousands)	2023		2022		Amount		%
Cost of revenues	$	16,131	$	—	$	16,131	NM*

*NM = not meaningful.

Cost of revenues was $16.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. On March 29, 2023, the Company announced the start of production of its first electric vehicle, the FF 91 Futurist and, on April 14, 2023, the Company’s first production FF 91 Futurist vehicle came off the line. The Company started to recognize automotive sales revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and the corresponding cost of revenue. Cost of revenue is primarily driven by higher costs of early-stage cost inefficiencies including lower fixed cost absorption largely due to depreciation of tooling and

machinery. To a lesser extent, the Cost of Revenues includes higher initial manufacturing inefficiencies coupled with higher initial cost of parts resulting from lower volume associated with delivery of the FF 91 Futurist vehicles.

Research and Development


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Change
(in thousands)	2023		2022		Amount		%
Research and development	$	21,593	$	47,582	$	(25,989)	(55)	%

The decrease in R&D expense is primarily due to the reduction in engineering, design, and testing (“ED&T”) services of $11.9 million as the Company substantially completed R&D activities related to the FF 91 Futurist vehicle in 2022. Further, as the Company started production in March 2023, certain costs were recognized as cost of revenues and certain materials purchases were capitalized to inventory versus all being recognized as R&D expense. In addition, there was a decrease in personnel and compensation expenses of $10.0 million due to a decrease in headcount as part of cost saving measures implemented by the Company in light of its financial position, as well as the allocation of certain personnel from the R&D department to production, a decrease in stock-based compensation expense of $2.7 million and a decrease in other miscellaneous expenses of $1.3 million.

Sales and Marketing

(in thousands)	2023		2022		Amount		%
Sales and marketing	$	5,318	$	3,823	$	1,495	39	%

The increase in sales and marketing expense is due to an increase in compensation expenses of $0.9 million, an increase in professional services expenses of $0.4 million and an increase in marketing expenses of $0.1 million as the Company allocated more resources to sales and marketing due to the achievement of the delivery milestone in August 2023.

General and Administrative

(in thousands)	2023		2022		Amount		%
General and administrative	$	24,023	$	28,551	$	(4,528)	(16)	%

The decrease in general and administrative expense is primarily due to a decrease in professional services expenses of $6.6 million due to the conclusion of the Special Committee investigation in 2022; partially offset by an increase in compensation related expense of $2.1 million.

Change in Fair Value of Earnout Liability

Change in fair value of earnout liability	$	(67)	$	—	$	(67)	NM*

*NM = not meaningful.

As of August 25, 2023, the Company reclassified the Earnout Shares from liability classification to equity classification as a result of the Company having sufficient authorized shares to share-settle the earnout, which was determined to be equity classified under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. The $0.1 million decrease in the Earnout liability was recognized as a Change in fair value of earnout liability during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Change in Fair Value of Notes Payable and Warrant Liabilities


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Change
(in thousands)	2023		2022		Amount		%
Change in fair value of notes payable and warrant liabilities	$	17,571	$	(1,764)	$	19,335	(1,096)	%

The Change in the fair value of notes payable and warrant liabilities is primarily due to a significant increase in the volume of outstanding notes payable and warrants accounted for at fair value when compared with the comparative period in 2022. As of September 30, 2022 the Company had $44.5 million of notes payable outstanding, compared with $130.1 million outstanding as of September 30, 2023, excluding the impact of mark to market valuation adjustments. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2022 the Company did not have material liability classified warrants with changes in fair value included in earnings. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a gain in the Change in fair value of notes payable and warrant liabilities of $21.9 million, specific to the change in fair value of the Company’s warrant liabilities. These gains were offset by an increase in the fair value of the Company’s notes payable during the period, stemming from the impact of the full ratchet price adjustments that were applied to the Company’s SPA Notes.

Change in Fair Value of Related Party Notes Payable and Related Party Warrant Liabilities


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Change
(in thousands)	2023		2022		Amount		%
Change in fair value of related party notes payable and related party warrant liabilities	$	4,726	$	—	$	4,726	NM*

*NM = not meaningful.

The Company did not have any related party notes payable or warrants that were re-measured at fair value during the three months ended September 30, 2022. In May 2023, the Company entered into Unsecured SPA Notes with MHL, who is a related party, and VW. On September 30, 2023, the related party Unsecured SPA Notes and warrant were revalued at a lower fair value than at their issuance due to pricing inputs that use the market price of the Class A Common Stock and debt discount rate which have experienced a decline.

Loss on Settlement of Notes Payable


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Change
(in thousands)	2023		2022		Amount		%
Loss on settlement of notes payable	$	(21,357)	$	(30,454)	$	9,097	(30)	%

The decrease in the Loss on settlement of notes payable during the three months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily driven by a reduced conversion volume during the period. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 note holders converted $25.8 million of notes payable compared with $67.2 million in the prior period. The impact of the volume difference is offset by a larger loss on settlement per dollar of principal. The increase in the loss on settlement per dollar of principal is driven by the trailing-twelve-month trend of declines in the fair value of the Company’s notes payable driven by the change in the Company’s stock price over the period.

As a result of the reclassification, the Company reclassified $2.2 million out of Additional paid-in capital into the Earnout liability. On February 28, 2023, upon shareholder approval to increase the Company’s authorized shares, the Company had sufficient authorized shares to fully settle all outstanding equity-linked financial instruments. Accordingly, the Company reclassified the fair value of the Earnout liability of $5.0 million into Additional paid-in capital. The $2.8 million increase in the Earnout liability from December 31, 2022 to February 28, 2023 was recognized as an expense in the Change in fair value of earnout liability during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

As of April 21, 2023, the Company had insufficient authorized shares to fully settle its equity-linked financial instruments in shares primarily due to the issuance of additional convertible notes and warrants between February 28, 2023 and April 21, 2023.

Change in fair value of notes payable and warrant liabilities	$	90,030	$	4,580	$	85,450	1,866	%

The change in the fair value of notes payable and warrant liabilities is due to a significant change in the volume of outstanding notes payable and warrants accounted for at fair value when compared with the comparative period in 2022 and the re-valuation of the Company’s notes payable and warrants at predominantly lower fair values due to pricing inputs that use the market price of the Common Stock and debt discount rate, which have experienced a decline. As of September 30, 2022 the Company had $44.5 million of notes payable outstanding, compared with $130.1 million outstanding as of September 30, 2023, excluding the impact of mark to market valuation adjustments. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 the Company did not have material liability classified warrants with changes in fair value included in earnings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a gain in the Change in fair value of notes payable and warrant liabilities of $69.8 million, specific to the change in fair value of the Company’s warrant liabilities. These gains were offset by an increase in the fair value of the Company’s notes payable during the period, stemming from the impact of the full ratchet price adjustments that were applied to the Company’s SPA Notes.

The increase in the Loss on settlement of notes payable during the three months ended September 30, 2023 is driven by a substantially higher conversion volume during the period and an increase in the loss on settlement per dollar of principal. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 note holders converted $187.7 million of notes payable compared to $67.2 million in the prior period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Going Concern

Since its formation, the Company has devoted substantial effort and capital resources to strategic planning, engineering, design, and development of its electric vehicle platform, development of initial electric vehicle models, and capital raising. Since inception, the Company has incurred cumulative losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities, and has an accumulated deficit of $3,874.7 million and a cash balance of $6.7 million as of September 30, 2023. The Company expects to continue to generate significant operating losses for the foreseeable future. The Company has funded its operations and capital needs primarily through the net proceeds received from capital contributions, the issuance of related party notes payable and notes payable (see Note 8, Related Party Transactions and Note 7, Notes Payable), the sale of Common Stock, and the net proceeds received from the Business Combination and a subscription agreement with certain investors (see Note 1, Nature of Business and Organization and Basis of Presentation).

FF announced the start of production of its first electric vehicle, the FF 91 Futurist, on March 29, 2023 and announced the delivery of its first electric vehicle, the Ultimate AI TechLuxury FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance, on August 14, 2023. However, FF has recognized an insignificant amount of revenue as of the date hereof. FF’s future business depends in large part on its ability to execute its plans to develop, manufacture, market, and deliver electric vehicles, including the FF 91, FF 81, FF 71 series, and Smart Last Mile Delivery electric vehicle models that appeal to customers. Based on certain management assumptions, including timely completion of certain testing and suppliers meeting our supply chain requirement, FF originally expected deliveries of the FF 91 to users to begin before the end of April 2023. However, certain of FF’s suppliers were unable to meet FF’s timing requirements and, therefore, FF updated the timing for the start of deliveries for its FF 91 vehicle. FF has developed a three-phase delivery plan for the FF 91 (the “Delivery Plan”). The first phase, which began in May 2023, is the “Industry Expert Futurist Product Officer (“FPO”) Co-Creation Delivery.” In this first phase, the Industry Expert FPO(s) are expected to pay in full for an FF 91 vehicle in order to reserve the vehicle and be trained in the use of the vehicle. The second phase, which is the “FPO Co-Creation Delivery,” began in August 2023. In this second phase, FPO(s) are taking possession of the FF 91 vehicle and are also entering into consulting, branding, marketing, and other arrangements with FF in exchange for fees to be paid by the Company to the FPO(s). The third phase is the “Full Co-Creation Delivery,” in which, FF will deliver FF 91 vehicles to all spire users that are expected to have paid in full for an FF 91 vehicle at time of delivery.

Further, FF needs substantial additional financing to start the third phase of the Delivery Plan and is in discussions with additional potential investors to obtain such financing. As FF executes the three-phase Delivery Plan, it plans to continue to move vehicles into production and off-the-line with high quality and high product power. There is no assurance FF will be able to timely receive sufficient funding under existing or new financing commitments to produce and deliver the FF 91 Futurist on that timeline or at all. If unable to receive sufficient funding, FF will be required to obtain new financing commitments, which may not be available to it under reasonable commercial terms or at all. Further, there cannot be any assurance that FF will develop the manufacturing capabilities and processes, secure reliable sources of component supply to meet quality, engineering, design or production standards, or to meet the required production volumes to successfully grow into a viable, cash flow positive business.

The Company has continued financing discussions with multiple parties, but has experienced delays in securing additional funding commitments, which have exacerbated the supply chain and liquidity pressures on FF’s business. Since August 14, 2022, pursuant to the Secured SPA, Unsecured SPA and Unsecured Streeterville SPA (as defined in Note 7, Notes Payable), the Company has obtained commitments from several investors totaling $513.5 million in convertible note financing. Additionally, the Company has received commitments totaling $20.0 million through forced warrant exercise proceeds, subject to certain conditions. A total of $300.2 million under these convertible note financing commitments has been funded to date ($263.2 million net of original discount and transaction costs). The remaining balance of $213.3 million is subject to various conditions, including achievement of delivery milestones, satisfaction of closing conditions, resolving disputes with investors, and satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including for a portion of such financing an effective registration statement for the shares underlying the applicable notes. In addition to the amounts received pursuant to the above commitments, the Company received additional optional funding - an aggregated gross proceeds of $38.0 million ($32.9 million net of original issuance discount) under the Secured SPA.

There can be no assurance that FF will be able to satisfy the closing conditions under the Unsecured SPA or that FF will be able further to successfully obtain additional incremental convertible senior secured note purchasers under the Secured SPA,

Unsecured SPA, Unsecured Streeterville SPA or other debt or equity financing in a timely manner or on acceptable terms, if at all. These factors, in addition to the continued rise in inflation increasing the cost of labor and materials and other challenging macroeconomic conditions, have led FF to take steps to preserve its current cash position, including reducing spending, extending payment cycles and implementing other similar measures. If our ongoing capital raising efforts are unsuccessful or significantly delayed, or if we experience prolonged material adverse trends in our business, our production will be delayed or decreased, and our actual use of cash, production volume and revenue for 2023 will vary from our previously disclosed forecasts, and such variances may be material. While FF continues to be actively engaged in negotiations with potential financing sources, there is no guarantee that it will be able to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to it or at all. In addition to the risk that FF’s assumptions and analyses may prove incorrect, the projections may underestimate the professional fees and other costs to be incurred related to the pursuit of various financing options currently being considered and ongoing legal risks. Incremental capital needs beyond 2023 to fund operations and the development of the Company’s remaining product portfolio and to ramp up production will be highly dependent on the market success and profitability of the FF 91 and the Company’s ability to accurately estimate and control costs. Apart from the FF 91 Futurist series, substantial additional capital will be required to fund operations, as well as, research, development, and design efforts for future vehicles.

On November 11, 2022, FF entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”), which is an affiliate of Yorkville Advisors. Under the terms of the SEPA, FF has the right, but not the obligation, to sell up to $200.0 million (which can be increased up to $350.0 million at FF’s option) of Class A Common Stock to an affiliate of Yorkville Advisors, subject to certain limitations, at the time of the Company’s choosing during the three-year term of the SEPA. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, FF sold 837,500 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price equal to 97% of the average daily volume weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock to Yorkville under the SEPA for $7.3 million.

On June 16, 2023, the Company filed the Shelf Registration with the SEC, which was declared effective by the SEC on June 28, 2023. As a result, the Company may from time-to-time issue Class A Common Stock and/or warrants, up to an aggregate amount of $300.0 million in one or more offerings. The Shelf Registration provides an ability for the Company to raise additional capital through Class A Common Stock and/or warrant issuances to both institutional and retail investors as it looks to raise additional financing to support production ramp-up. On September 27, 2023, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to the Shelf Registration regarding the At-the-Market Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) the Company entered into on September 26, 2023 with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, B. Riley Securities, Inc., A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, Wedbush Securities Inc. and Maxim Group LLC (the “Sales Agents”) to offer and sell up to $90.0 million of Class A Common Stock. In accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company may offer and sell shares of Class A Common Stock from time to time through or to the Sales Agents as sales agent or principal by any method that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933. The aggregate compensation payable to the Sales Agents shall be up to 3.5% of the gross sales price of the shares sold through the Sales Agents. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 780,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock under the Sales Agreement for gross cash proceeds of $1.3 million less placement agent fees of $0.1 million.

Despite the potential access to liquidity resulting from the SEPA, the Shelf Registration and the unfunded commitments from the Secured SPA and the Unsecured SPA, the Company projects that it will require additional funds in order to continue operations and support the ramp-up of production of the FF 91 Futurist to generate revenues to put the Company on a path to cash flow break-even. Incremental capital needs beyond 2023 to fund operations and the development of the Company’s remaining product portfolio and ramp up production will be highly dependent on the market success and profitability of the FF 91 Futurist and the Company’s ability to accurately estimate and control costs.

required to reduce discretionary spending, alter or scale back vehicle development programs, be unable to develop new or enhanced production methods, or be unable to fund capital expenditures. Any such events would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and ability to achieve its intended business objectives, and the Company will likely not be able to continue as a going concern.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in default on the Secured SPA Notes; however, the holders of such notes subsequently waived the default. As of April 2023, the Company has been in breach of its debt agreement with Chongqing Leshi Small Loan Co., Ltd., a related party, with an outstanding principal balance of $4.5 million. As a result of the default, the interest rate on the outstanding principal balance has increased to a rate of 18% per annum until the event of default is no longer applicable.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain sufficient authorized shares to fully settle all outstanding equity-linked financial instruments in shares.

Material Cash Requirements

The Company's material cash requirements include the following contractual and other obligations:

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding notes payable to related parties, comprised of $3.8 million which is due on demand, $5.1 million is scheduled to become due in December 2023, and $3.3 million due in the year 2029.

See Note 7, Notes Payable, in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had operating and financing lease obligations (inclusive of interest) of $37.0 million, primarily related to its FF ieFactory California production facility, corporate office, store, equipment, and vehicle lease agreements, of which approximately $7.2 million in payments are scheduled to become due in the succeeding 12 months.

We have purchase commitments under legally enforceable agreements for goods and services, including purchases of inventory, tooling, machinery and equipment, and items to be used in research and development activities, with defined terms as to quantity, price and timing of delivery.

Sources of Liquidity

As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s principal source of liquidity was cash on hand totaling $6.7 million, which was held for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company also has access to various sources of additional capital, including the SEPA, the Sales Agreement, and the SPA Commitments. The Company’s ability to access these sources of capital and further information on amounts available is discussed in Note 2, Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily consists of $87.3 million in repayment of notes payable, including liquidation premiums, and $1.4 million in payments of finance lease obligations, partially offset by $9.5 million in proceeds from exercise of stock options.

Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash and Restricted Cash

The exchange rates effect on cash and restricted cash was $3.7 million and $11.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effects of exchange rate changes on cash and restricted cash result from fluctuations on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, primarily Chinese Renminbi. Fluctuations in exchange rates against the U.S. Dollar may positively or negatively affect FF’s operating results.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company did not have any material relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Thus, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Management has based its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by FF’s management. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows will be affected. Given the global economic climate, estimates are subject to additional volatility.

Critical accounting estimates are defined as estimates made in accordance with GAAP that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. For a description of the Company’s critical accounting estimates, refer to the section titled “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, set forth in Part II, Item 7, of the Form 10-K/A. As of the date of this report, there have been no changes to our critical accounting estimates described in the Form 10-K/A that have had a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnotes.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K, FF is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company.”

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

FF’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that FF files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its CEO and Interim CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on an evaluation of FF’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act), FF’s Global CEO and Chief Accounting Officer and Interim CFO (its principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, respectively) have concluded that FF’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2023, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

FF identified material weaknesses in FF’s internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of its annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses are as follows:

•FF did not design and maintain an effective control environment commensurate with its financial reporting requirements. Specifically, FF lacked a sufficient number of professionals with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, training, and experience to appropriately analyze, record, and disclose accounting matters timely and accurately. Additionally, management did not establish formal reporting lines in pursuit of its objectives. Further, the lack of a sufficient number of professionals resulted in an inability to consistently establish appropriate authorities and responsibilities in pursuit of its financial reporting objectives, as demonstrated by, among other things, insufficient segregation of duties in its finance and accounting functions.

•FF did not design and maintain effective controls in response to the risks of material misstatement. Specifically, changes to existing controls or the implementation of new controls were not sufficient to respond to changes to the risks of material misstatement to financial reporting due to growth in the business.

•FF did not design and maintain effective controls for communicating and sharing information between the legal, capital markets, and accounting and finance departments. Specifically, the accounting and finance departments were not consistently provided the complete and adequate support, documentation, and information including the nature of relationships with certain counterparties to record transactions within the financial statements timely, completely, and accurately.

These material weaknesses contributed to the following additional material weaknesses:

•FF did not design and maintain effective controls to address the identification of and accounting for certain non-routine, unusual or complex transactions, including the proper application of GAAP to such transactions. Specifically, FF did not design and maintain controls to timely identify and account for convertible notes under the fair value option, warrant liabilities, embedded derivatives related to convertible notes, impute interest on related

party notes payable with interest rates below market rates, account for failed sale leaseback transactions, and account for warrant instruments.

•FF did not design and maintain formal accounting policies, procedures, and controls to achieve complete, accurate, and timely financial accounting, reporting, and disclosures, including controls over the period-end financial reporting process addressing areas including financial statement and footnote presentation and disclosures, account reconciliations and journal entries, including segregation of duties, assessing the reliability of reports and spreadsheets used in controls, and the timely identification and accounting for cut-off of expenditures.

These material weaknesses resulted in adjustments primarily related to expense cut-off and the associated accounts including operating expenses, accounts payable and accruals, property and equipment, convertible notes payable and interest expense and related financial disclosures, which were recorded as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019. These material weaknesses also resulted in adjustments primarily related to the extinguishment of a noncontrolling interest, accounts payable, vendor payables in trust and adjustments to the statement of cash flows which were recorded as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 as well as disclosure errors related to the anti-dilutive shares excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance, accrued interest for certain notes payable, and the fair value of the Vendor Trust as of December 31, 2019. Refer to Note 3 to FF’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in its Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File Number 333-255027), initially filed with the SEC on April 5, 2021 as amended. Additionally, the material weakness related to accounting for warrant instruments resulted in the restatement of the previously issued financial statements as disclosed in Note 2 to PSAC’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 within PSAC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, of the entity acquired as part of the July 21, 2021 Merger Agreement related to warrant liabilities and equity. Finally, these material weaknesses resulted in the restatement of the Company’s previously filed financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022.

•FF did not design and maintain effective controls over information technology (“IT”) general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of its financial statements, specifically, with respect to: (i) program change management controls to ensure that IT program and data changes affecting financial IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized, and implemented appropriately; (ii) user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and that adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial applications, programs, and data to appropriate company personnel; and (iii) computer operations controls to ensure that critical batch jobs are monitored and data backups are authorized and monitored. These IT deficiencies did not result in a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements, however, the deficiencies, when aggregated, could result in material misstatements potentially impacting all financial statement accounts and disclosures.

In connection with the Special Committee investigation, and the completion of additional investigative and remedial work based on Special Committee findings, which were performed under the direction of the newly-appointed Executive Chairperson, reporting to the Audit Committee, additional material weaknesses were identified in FF’s internal control over financial reporting (as disclosed in Note 3 to FF’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 included in FF’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021). Specifically, in addition to the material weaknesses described above relating to management not establishing formal reporting lines in pursuit of its objectives as well as maintaining effective controls for communicating and sharing information between the legal, capital markets, and accounting and finance departments, the following material weaknesses were identified:

•FF did not maintain an effective control environment or demonstrate a commitment to maintain integrity and ethical values. Specifically, certain members of senior management failed to reinforce the need for an attitude of compliance and internal control awareness with certain of FF’s governance, accounting and finance policies and procedures. This resulted in the inaccurate and incomplete disclosures of certain relationships, arrangements, and transactions.

This material weakness contributed to the following additional material weakness:

•FF did not design and maintain effective controls related to the identification and disclosure of certain arrangements and transactions with related parties.

The material weaknesses identified in connection with the Special Committee investigation resulted in the revision of the Company’s previously filed financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2020 (as disclosed in Note 9 to FF’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021) and for the periods ended March 31, 2021 (as disclosed in Note 1 to FF’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022) and June 30, 2021 (as disclosed in Note 1 to FF’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2022) related to notes

payable, related party notes payable, accrued interest, related party accrued interest, interest expense, and related party interest expense.

Additionally, each of the material weaknesses described above could result in a material misstatement to substantially all of our accounts or disclosures.

Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is actively engaged and committed to taking the steps necessary to remediate the control deficiencies that constituted the material weaknesses. Since identifying the material weaknesses described above, FF made the following enhancements to our internal control over financial reporting:

•FF added finance and accounting personnel to the organization to strengthen our finance and accounting teams. The additional personnel are expected to provide oversight, structure, reporting lines, and additional review over our disclosures;

•FF implemented certain new accounting policies and procedures, and an IT system relevant to the preparation of our financial statements to improve communication of key areas across the different departments at FF and to provide adequate structure, accountability, and segregation of duties;

•FF appointed Ms. Becky Roof as Interim CFO and engaged an affiliate of AlixPartners LLP to accelerate implementation of Special Committee recommendations including, but not limited to remediation of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. On October 12, 2022, Ms. Roof resigned from FF upon the successful completion of key milestones in FF’s reporting and fundraising activities, on October 22, 2022, the Company appointed Ms. Yun Han as Chief Accounting Officer and Interim CFO, effective as of October 25, 2022, on July 5, 2023, Ms. Han resigned from her positions as Interim CFO, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer (but will continue in her role as Chief Accounting Officer), and on July 11, 2023, the Board appointed Jonathan Maroko as Interim CFO, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer effective as of July 24, 2023. Mr. Maroko’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the remediation of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting;

•FF implemented enhanced controls around FF’s related party transactions, including regular attestations;

•FF removed Mr. Jia, FF’s founder, as an executive officer, although he continued in his position as Chief Product and User Ecosystem Officer of FF, reporting to the Chairperson with his role limited to focusing on (a) product and mobility ecosystem and (b) I.A.I., and advanced R&D technology (however, as of February 26, 2023, this remedial measure is no longer being implemented as further discussed below);

•Functions previously dual-reporting to Mr. Jia and Mr. Breitfeld reported only to Ms. Swenson (but Mr. Jia remained involved in long-term strategy) (and following the resignation of Ms. Swenson on October 3, 2022, all FF management (including Mr. Jia) reported directly or indirectly to the Global CEO of FF (previously Dr. Breitfeld and currently Mr. Aydt) indefinitely while the Board continues to evaluate the appropriate FF management reporting lines) (however, as of February 26, 2023, this remedial measure is no longer being implemented as further discussed below); and

•FF adopted an Insider Investment Reporting Policy to enhance internal reporting of related party transactions.

Our remediation activities are continuing during 2023, although certain of the remedial efforts described above are no longer applicable given recent developments and resignations. There have also been substantial changes to the composition of the Board as a result of the governance settlement entered into between FF and FF Global, as well as substantial turnover in key management personnel, including legal and compliance personnel, which could impact our ability to implement the above described remedial measures.

In addition, as of February 26, 2023, certain departments within the Company report to both Mr. Jia and Mr. Chen, including the Company’s user ecosystem, capital markets, human resources and administration, corporate strategy and China departments, subject to processes and controls to be determined by the Board after consultation with the Company’s management. Further, based on the changes to his responsibilities within FF, the Board determined that Mr. Jia is an “officer” of the Company within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and an “executive officer” of the Company under Rule

3b-7 under the Exchange Act. FF has or is planning to put in place processes and controls to mitigate the risks associated with the changes in Mr. Jia’s responsibilities as well as to enhance oversight and corporate governance, including but not limited to:

•segregating responsibilities and duties in the Company’s user ecosystem, capital markets, human resources and administration, corporate strategy and China departments;

•requiring the Board, or a designated committee of the Board, to approve the signing of financing agreements, the hiring, promoting or terminating vice presidents of the Company and above (including additional Section 16 officers), and the adopting of Company-wide compensation policies;

•hiring of a Compliance Officer with the title of Deputy General Counsel (hired in March 2023), who reports on a dotted line to the Chair of the Audit committee; and

•engaging an external consulting firm in April 2023 to work in the capacity of an internal audit function who will report on a dotted line to the Chair of the Audit Committee.

In addition to the above actions and in view of the governance changes that the Company implemented pursuant to the Heads of Agreement and Amended Shareholder Agreement and otherwise, FF expects to engage in additional activities, including, but not limited to:

•continuing to hire key finance and accounting personnel as FF scales and until FF has sufficient technical accounting resources, combined with engaging external consultants to provide support and to assist us in our evaluation of more complex applications of GAAP and to assist us with documenting and assessing our accounting policies and procedures;

•designing and implementing controls in response to the risks of material misstatement to identify and evaluate changes in our business and the impact on our internal controls;

•designing and implementing controls for communicating and sharing information between legal, capital markets, and accounting to facilitate transactions being recorded timely and accurately;

•designing and implementing formal processes, accounting policies, procedures, and controls supporting certain business processes and our financial close process, including creating standard balance sheet reconciliation templates and journal entry controls assessing the reliability of reports and spreadsheets used in controls; and the timely identification and accounting for cut-off of expenditures;

•designing and implementing controls to address the identification of and accounting for certain non-routine, unusual or complex transactions;

•designing and implementing controls related to the identification and disclosure of certain arrangements and transactions with related parties;

•continuing to implement additional IT systems relevant to the preparation of our financial statements and controls over financial reporting to improve communication of key areas across the different departments at FF and to provide adequate structure, accountability, and segregation of duties; and

•designing and implementing IT general controls, including controls over change management, the review and update of user access controls and controls over critical batch jobs and data backups.

While FF has made progress, the material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until FF completes the design and implementation of the enhanced controls, the controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and FF has concluded, through testing, that these controls are effective. FF believes that our remediation plan will be sufficient to remediate the identified material weakness and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting.

As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, FF may determine that additional measures or modifications to the remediation plan are necessary.

We are working to remediate the material weaknesses as efficiently and effectively as possible and expect full remediation likely will go beyond December 31, 2023. At this time, we cannot provide an estimate of costs expected to be incurred in connection with implementing this remediation plan; however, these remediation measures will be time consuming, will result in FF incurring significant costs, and will place significant demands on our financial and operational resources.

While FF believes these efforts will remediate the material weaknesses, FF may not be able to complete its evaluation, testing or any required remediation in a timely fashion, or at all. FF cannot assure you that the measures it has taken to date and may take in the future, will be sufficient to remediate the control deficiencies that led to its material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting or that they will prevent or avoid potential future material weaknesses. The effectiveness of FF’s internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the possibility of human error and the risk of fraud. Further loss and/or turnover in key management personnel, particularly accounting, finance and legal personnel, may negatively impact our ability to implement our remediation plan. If FF is unable to remediate its material weaknesses, FF’s ability to record, process and report financial information accurately, and to prepare financial statements within the time periods specified by the forms of the SEC, could be adversely affected which, in turn, may adversely affect FF’s reputation and business and the market price of the Class A Common Stock. Any such failures could result in litigation or regulatory actions by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, loss of investor confidence, delisting of FF’s securities and harm to FF’s reputation and financial condition, or diversion of financial and management resources from the operation of FF’s business.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than as described in the preceding paragraphs, there have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, FF’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. As our growth continues, we may become party to an increasing number of litigation matters and claims. The outcome of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, and the resolution of these matters could materially affect our future results of operations, cash flows, or financial position. Other than disclosed under Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies, to FF’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report of Form 10-Q (“Report”), we are not presently party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of management, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Other than the risk factors listed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously described under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on August 21, 2023 (the “Form 10-K/A”).

FF has identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. FF’s inability to remediate these material weaknesses, or identification of additional material weaknesses in the future or other failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, has, and could further, result in material misstatements in FF’s consolidated financial statements and FF’s ability to accurately or timely report its financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect FF’s business and share price.

FF’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended. A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a result of these material weaknesses, FF’s management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2022. FF is actively engaged in remediation efforts designed to address these material weaknesses. As FF continues to evaluate and work to improve its internal control over financial reporting, FF may determine that additional measures or modifications to the remediation plan are necessary. FF is working to remediate the material weaknesses as efficiently and effectively as possible and expect full remediation to potentially go beyond December 31, 2023. At this time, we cannot predict the total costs expected to be incurred; however, the remediation measures have been and will continue to be time consuming, costly, and a significant demand on our financial and operational resources.

While FF believes these efforts will remediate the material weaknesses, it will not be considered remediated until FF completes the design and implementation of the enhanced controls, the controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and FF has concluded, through testing, that these controls are effective. FF may not be able to complete its evaluation, testing or any required remediation in a timely fashion, or at all. FF cannot assure you that the measures it has taken to date and may take in the future, will be sufficient to remediate the control deficiencies that led to its material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting or that they will prevent or avoid potential future material weaknesses. The effectiveness of FF’s internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost, judgments and assumptions, human error and the risk of fraud. The material weaknesses, or a failure to promptly remediate them, may adversely affect our business, our reputation, our results of operations and the market price of our Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”). If FF is unable to remediate the material weaknesses in a timely manner, our investors, customers and other business partners may lose confidence in our business or our financial reports, and our access to capital markets may be adversely affected.

In addition, our ability to record, process, and report financial information accurately, and to prepare financial statements within the time periods specified by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other regulatory authorities, could be adversely affected, which may result in violations of applicable securities laws, stock exchange listing requirements and the covenants under our debt and equity agreements. Any such delays or deficiencies could penalize us, including by limiting our ability to obtain financing, either in the public capital markets or from private sources and hurt our reputation and could thereby impede our ability to implement our growth strategy. We could also be exposed to lawsuits, investigations, or other legal actions.

The control deficiencies resulting in the material weaknesses, in the aggregate, has resulted, and may in the future result, in misstatements of accounts or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements. For example, in July 2023, the Company identified errors in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year

ended December 31, 2022 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022, determined these financial statements should no longer be relied upon, and subsequently restated them.

In addition, we cannot be certain that we will not identify additional control deficiencies or material weaknesses in the future. If we identify future control deficiencies or material weaknesses, these may lead to adverse effects on our business, our reputation, our results of operations, and the market price of our Class A Common Stock. Further, if our remedial measures are insufficient to address the material weaknesses, or if additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control are discovered or occur in the future, our consolidated financial statements may contain material misstatements and we could be required to restate additional financial results.

Further, FF has recently experienced substantial turnover in key management personnel, including legal and compliance personnel, as well as substantial changes to the composition of the Board, and further changes may occur in the future. See “– The composition of FF’s Board has changed, and may further change.” As a result these Board and management changes, there can be no guarantee that the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) as composed in the future will agree with decisions made by the Board regarding the material weakness and the necessary remedial measures, that they will not identify other areas that require remediation or that they will continue to pursue the remediation measures. Any turnover of personnel, particularly accounting, finance and legal personnel, may also negatively impact FF’s internal controls over financial reporting and other disclosures and our ability to prepare and make timely and accurate public disclosures.

FF needs to raise additional capital to support its operations.

FF operates in a capital-intensive industry which requires significant cash to fund its operations. As of September 30, 2023, FF’s cash position was $8.6 million, including restricted cash of $1.9 million. FF expects its capital expenditures to continue to be significant for the foreseeable future as it continues to develop and grow its business. In response to the delay in obtaining funding commitments and negative macroeconomic trends in the industry in which FF operates, such as supply chain pressures, rising interest rates, and high inflation, FF has identified and implemented certain cost reduction and cash conservation measures, including headcount and temporary salary reductions and supplier payment deferrals. FF expects to defer the completion of construction of certain areas in its manufacturing facility and for the ramp up of production to be slower relative to previous plans.

Despite having 330 non-binding, fully refundable pre-orders as of September 30, 2023, the Company has only recognized $0.6 million in revenue for the three and nine months ended of September 30, 2023. Accordingly, FF relies on capital from investors to support its operations.

Currently, FF has several financing agreements, such as the Secured SPA, Unsecured SPA, the Unsecured Streeterville SPA, the SEPA, FFVV Joinder, and the Senyun Joinder (each as defined in Note 7, Notes Payable, in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report). However, certain investors under FF’s existing financing agreements may not fund their commitments if the volume-weighted average price for the Class A Common Stock is less than $8.00 for the five trading days prior to the closing date for the funding. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that FF would be able to satisfy the closing conditions under certain of the existing financing agreements, or that FF will be able to successfully obtain additional purchasers under the certain of the agreements. Accordingly, the Company needs additional financing agreements to support its operations, including the production and delivery of the FF 91 Futurist.

FF may raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity related or debt securities, or through obtaining credit from financial institutions or governmental organizations. The Company has continued financing discussions with multiple parties, but has experienced delays in securing additional funding commitments, which have exacerbated the supply chain pressures on FF’s business. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, in a timely manner, or at all the Company’s business, liquidity and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. Further, any additional financing is expected to dilute FF’s stockholder value, which would affect your investment in FF and/or adversely effect the market for FF’s shares.

If our ongoing capital raising efforts are unsuccessful or significantly delayed, or if we experience prolonged material adverse trends in our business, our production will be delayed or decreased, and our actual use of cash, production volume and revenue for 2023 will vary from our previously disclosed forecasts, and such variances may be material. In addition the Company’s assumptions and analyses relating to its various financing options currently being considered, including professional fees and other cost, and ongoing legal risks related to these financing transactions may prove incorrect. Incremental capital needs beyond the date hereof to fund development of the Company’s remaining product portfolio and ramp up production will be highly dependent on the market success and profitability of the FF 91 Futurist and the Company’s ability to

accurately estimate and control costs. Apart from the FF 91 series, substantial additional capital will be required to fund operations, research, development, and design efforts for future vehicles.

FF has significant unfunded commitments from its investors. If FF is unable to satisfy the conditions to funding or if there is a dispute regarding the conversion requirements related to the unfunded commitments, FF may not have enough capital to support its business and could be subject to investor legal claims.

Pursuant to the Secured SPA, Unsecured SPA, the Unsecured Streeterville SPA, FFVV Joinder, and the Senyun Joinder, the Company has obtained commitments from several investors totaling $513.5 million in convertible note financing and $20.0 million in committed forced warrant exercise proceeds, subject to certain conditions. A total of $300.2 under these commitments has been funded as of September 30, 2023 ($263.2 million net of original discount and transaction costs) with the remaining unfunded commitment of $213.3 million. There can be no assurance that FF will be able to successfully satisfy the conditions to receive the additional funding. Further, if FF fails to satisfy these funding conditions to receive the unfunded commitments, the Company may be required to further delay our production and delivery plans for the FF 91 Futurist, reduce headcount, liquidate our assets, file for bankruptcy, reorganize, merge with another entity, and/or cease operations. In addition, during and after the third quarter of 2023, the Company temporarily suspended effecting the conversion requests from its noteholders. While the Company has begun effecting these conversion requests, there can be no assurance that the Company will not again suspend effecting such requests in a manner that could result in an event of default and monetary penalties under the various securities purchase agreements. Further, the Company may be subject to legal claims by the investors, which could have a material and adverse impact on FF’s reputation and financial condition.

FF may also be subject to legal claims arising from disagreement over the terms of its securities. For example, FF previously issued certain convertible notes (the “Senyun Notes”) to Senyun. The Senyun Notes are subject to a restriction that FF will not convert the Senyun Notes, and Senyun will not have the right to convert the Senyun Notes, to the extent that Senyun would own more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of FF after giving effect to the conversion. In May 2023, Senyun requested to convert the Senyun Notes into shares of Common Stock and FF converted a certain amount of the Senyun Notes. FF did not convert the Senyun Notes that would have resulted in Senyun owning more than 9.99% of the Common Stock. However, Senyun believes that the Senyun Notes should have been converted in full in accordance with its interpretation of conversion limitations in the Senyun Notes. The Company disputes this interpretation. In July 2023 and October 2023, Senyun sent the Company a letter outlining its position and reserving its rights under the Secured SPA. Further, pursuant to the Senyun Joinder, Senyun agreed to exercise its option to purchase $15.0 million of Tranche A Notes (as defined in Note 7, Notes Payable, in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report) in accordance with the terms of the Secured SPA, with funding of 75% of such amount within five business days of the date of the Senyun Joinder and the remaining 25% of such amount within three business days thereafter, subject to certain conditions which have been satisfied. As of September 30, 2023, Senyun has funded $11.5 million of its obligation and has not funded the remaining $3.5 million until the disagreement described herein is resolved. The Company is in active discussions to resolve the disagreement. However, it is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of the disagreement with Senyun and if it is not resolved, Senyun may not fund its remaining obligation.

Further, any litigation, proceedings or dispute related to legal claims of the Company’s investors, even those without merit, may divert the Company’s financial and management resources that would otherwise be used to benefit the future performance of the Company’s operations. Any adverse determination against the Company in any potential proceedings may also result in settlements, injunctions or damages that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations and investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide additional funding to FF on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, as a result of any legal claims.

If FF has insufficient reserves to cover future warranty claims, its business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

As our vehicles are produced and delivered, we will need to maintain warranty reserves to cover warranty-related claims. If our warranty reserves are inadequate to cover future warranty claims on our vehicles, our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. Additionally, estimating the necessary amount of warranty reserves is inherently uncertain, particularly in light of our limited operating history and limited field data available to us, and changes to such estimates based on real-world observations may cause material changes to our warranty reserves. In the future, we may become subject to significant and unexpected warranty expenses. There can be no assurances that then-existing warranty reserves will be sufficient to cover all claims. In addition, if future laws or regulations impose additional warranty obligations on us that go beyond our manufacturer’s warranty, we may be exposed to materially higher warranty expenses than we expect, and our reserves may be insufficient to cover such expenses.

FF might not obtain and maintain sufficient insurance coverage, which could expose FF to significant costs and business disruption.

FF may be subject to losses resulting from claims such as product liability, accidents, force majeure or other claims brought against the Company, for which it may have no or insufficient insurance coverage. As FF commercializes its vehicles, it may not maintain as much insurance coverage as other OEMs, and in some cases, it may not maintain any at all. Additionally, the policies that FF has may include significant deductibles or exclusions, and FF cannot be certain that its insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover all or any future claims. A loss that is uninsured or exceeds existing policy limits may require FF to pay unexpected and substantial amounts, which could adversely affect FF’s financial condition and results of operations. Further, insurance coverage may not continue to be available to FF or, if available, may be at a significantly higher cost, based on insurance market conditions or a change in FF’s risk profile. This may require a change in FF’s insurance purchasing philosophy and strategy which can result in the assumption of greater risks to offset insurance market fluctuations.

FF is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and disputes arising both in and outside the ordinary course of business.

FF has been, continues to be, and may in the future be involved in legal proceedings and claims arising both in and outside the ordinary course of FF’s business. We could also be subject to claims and litigation by investors based on the decline of the price of our Common Stock. For example, FF has been involved in litigation with contractors and suppliers over past due payments and FF’s subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC Subsidiaries”) are involved in multiple proceedings or disputes involving lease contracts, third-party suppliers or vendors, or labor disputes. Additionally, FF has in the past been, and may in the future be, party to various disputes with our stockholders, such as the dispute with FF Global Partners LLC (“FF Global”), the California Federal Derivative Action, the Delaware Federal Derivative Actions, the Consolidated Delaware Class Action, and a putative class action (each as defined in Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies). See “Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies” and “Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings” for more information regarding the current proceedings the Company is involved in.

Such litigation and other legal proceedings or disputes are inherently uncertain, divert managements time and attention, and are costly. Any adverse judgments or settlements in some of these legal disputes, or future proceedings or disputes, may result in adverse monetary damages, penalties or injunctive relief against FF, which could negatively impact its financial position, cash flows or results of operations. Additionally, if one or more of those legal matters were resolved against FF in a reporting period for amounts above management’s expectations, FF’s business prospects, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected. Further, any claims or litigation, regardless of outcome or if fully indemnified or insured, could damage FF’s reputation and make it more difficult to compete effectively or to obtain adequate insurance in the future.

Furthermore, while FF maintains insurance for certain potential liabilities, such insurance does not cover all types and amounts of potential liabilities and is subject to various exclusions as well as retentions and caps on amounts recoverable. Even if FF believes a claim is covered by insurance, insurers may dispute its entitlement to recovery for a variety of potential reasons, which may affect the timing and, if the insurers prevail, the amount of FF’s recovery.

In the event that the independent registered public accounting firm operating in China that FF uses as an auditor for its operations in China is not permitted to be subject to inspection by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), then investors may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection.

Under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCA”), if the SEC determines that a company has filed audit reports by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for two consecutive years, the SEC shall prohibit such ordinary shares from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the U.S. The PCAOB provides a framework to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCA, whether the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction. Additionally, the SEC has disclosure requirements that apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an Annual Report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in foreign jurisdictions.

Our current auditor, the independent registered public accounting firm that issued the audit report included the Form 10-K/A, is registered with the PCAOB, and is subject to laws in the U.S. pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. Accordingly, we have not been identified as a “Commission-Identified Issuer” by the PCAOB under the current framework of the HFCA. However, prior to 2022, the

auditors of the PRC Subsidiaries were not subject to inspection by the PCAOB and any future determination by the PCAOB that the PRC Subsidiaries’ auditors are not subject to inspection could materially adversely affect the Company.

Our ability to retain an auditor subject to PCAOB inspection and investigation may depend on the relevant positions of U.S. and Chinese regulators. If the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely the Company’s auditor in China because of a position taken by the Chinese authorities, then such lack of inspection could cause trading in the Company’s securities to be prohibited under the HFCA, and ultimately result in a determination by the SEC to delist the Company’s securities. Such a prohibition would substantially impair an investor’s ability to sell or purchase the Common Stock and negatively impact the price of the Common Stock. Accordingly, the HFCA calls for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially non-U.S. auditors. In addition, PCAOB inspections help improve future audit quality and effectiveness. Without the benefit of PCAOB inspections, existing or potential investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information and the quality of our financial statements with respect to the PRC Subsidiaries.

There can be no assurance that FF will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.

If the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) delists FF’s shares from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the applicable listing standards, we and our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:


			●			a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;


			●			reduced liquidity for our securities;


			●			a determination that our Common Stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our Common Stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for shares of our Common Stock;


			●			a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and


			●			a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

On October 31, 2022, we received written notice from Nasdaq that we were not in compliance with the Nasdaq requirement for the bid price for Class A Common Stock to be at least $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). In order to comply with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, in the third quarter of 2023, the Company, after stockholder approval, effected the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1:80 and set the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock to 154,437,500. Nasdaq notified the Company that it had regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement on September 13, 2023.

In addition, in connection with Mr. He’s resignation, and to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(4)(B), on August 2, 2023, the Company notified Nasdaq that the Company no longer complied with Nasdaq’s independent director and audit committee requirements as set forth in Listing Rule 5605 as the Board was not comprised of a majority of independent directors and the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) was not comprised of at least three independent directors. The non-compliance was subsequently cured by the appointment of Mr. Peker as an independent member of the Board and Audit Committee.

Although, the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, there can be no assurance that the Company will remain compliant with such rules or other Listing Rules in the future. In particular, the rights granted to FF Global Partners LLC (“FFGP”) under the Amended Shareholder Agreement or other similar rights granted to other investors in the future may cause FF to fall out of compliance with certain of Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, including Nasdaq Rule 5640, which disallows the voting rights of existing stockholders to be disparately reduced through any corporate action or issuance. Any future non-compliance may be costly, divert management’s time and attention, and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, reputation, financing, and results of operations.

FF may issue additional shares of Common Stock or preferred shares, which would dilute the interest of our stockholders.

FF may, in the future, issue a substantial number of additional shares of Common Stock or preferred stock. The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock or preferred stock:


			●			may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors;


			●			may subordinate the rights of holders of Common Stock if preferred stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded our Common Stock;


			●			could cause a change of control if a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors; and


			●			may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Common Stock.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A Common Stock in the public market, including the resale of the shares of Common Stock held by FF stockholders pursuant to its registrations statements on Form S-3 filed with the SEC or pursuant to Rule 144, could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares of Common Stock intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of the Class A Common Stock. Pursuant to our obligations under the Secured SPA, Unsecured SPA, Unsecured Streeterville SPA, FFVV Joinder and the Senyun Joinder, we have registered 23,671,743 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Secured SPA Notes, the Unsecured SPA Notes and the exercise of Warrants (the “August Registration Statement”). Such securities represent approximately 74.5% of the shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2023. The August Registration Statement permits the resale of these shares until it is no longer effective. The resale, or expected or potential resale, of a substantial number of shares of our Class A Common Stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price for the Class A Common Stock and make it more difficult for you to sell your holdings at times and prices that you determine are appropriate. Furthermore, because there is a large number of shares registered under the August Registration Statement, we expect the selling Stockholders (as defined in the August Registration Statement and related prospectus) will continue to offer the securities covered thereby pursuant to the August Registration Statement or Rule 144 for a significant period of time, the precise duration of which cannot be predicted. Accordingly, the adverse market and price pressures resulting from an offering pursuant to the August Registration Statement may continue for an extended period of time.

In addition, as of September 30, 2023, the Class A Common Stock is also subject to potential dilution from: (i) the exercise of up to 4,391,895 warrants, (ii) the exercise of up to 428,081 stock options, (iii) the vesting of 177,650 unvested RSUs, (iv) the issuance of up to 312,500 earnout shares pursuant to the triggering events in the Merger Agreement and (v) the issuance of up to 289,001 remaining registered shares of Class A Common Stock that FF may elect, in its sole discretion, to issue and sell to Yorkville pursuant to the SEPA. Additionally, the Class A Common Stock is subject to potential dilution upon the full conversion and exercise of the SPA Notes, Unsecured SPA Notes and SPA Warrants. The Class A Common Stock is also subject to potential dilution due to issuance of Common Stock in connection with future equity and/or convertible debt financings. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market, including the resale of the shares of Common Stock held by FF stockholders, could adversely affect the market price of the Class A Common Stock, the impact of which is increased as the value of our stock price increases.

FFGP is able to exert substantial influence over FF, including by delaying or preventing a change in control.

Under the Amended Shareholder Agreement, FFGP is entitled to nominate a number of directors based on its voting power with respect to FF’s outstanding Common Stock, currently entitling FFGP to nominate four out of seven directors to the Board of FF. In addition, on September 23, 2022 and January 13, 2023, FF, FF Global and FFGP entered into governance settlements with FFGP, including with respect to the composition of the Board.

As a result, certain of FF’s stockholders particularly FFGP, may have the ability to determine the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control and might adversely affect the market price of our Class A Common Stock.

Additionally, FFGP beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), which accounts for approximately 2.5% of FF’s total outstanding shares of Common Stock (i.e., Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock combined) and voting power as of September 30, 2023. Under FF’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share, subject to an increase to 10 votes per share if the company reaches a $20.0 billion equity market capitalization. Pursuant to the Amended Shareholder Agreement, FFGP informed FF that it expects FF will submit a proposal to FF stockholders for approval to amend the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to provide that (i) the voting power of the Class B Common Stock will be increased to 10 votes per share (after which the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, which FFGP beneficially owns, will account for approximately 19.7% of FF’s voting power) and (ii) the voting power of the Class B

Common Stock will increase from 10 votes per share to 20 votes per share following the Company achieving an equity market capitalization of $3.0 billion (after which the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, which FFGP beneficially owns, will account for approximately 32.9% of FF’s voting power). If FFGP obtains such enhanced voting rights, it would have considerable influence over matters such as decisions regarding mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of FF, election of directors and other significant corporate actions. FFGP could take actions that are not in the best interest of FF or its other stockholders. This mechanism may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control, which could have the effect of depriving other stockholders of FF of the opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of FF.

Based on a Schedule 13D/A filed on June 21, 2023, FFGP has beneficial ownership over 1,346,856 shares of Common Stock, which includes: (i) 800,008 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 800,008 shares of Class B Common Stock held by FFGP and (ii) shares for which FFGP has entered into voting agreements with certain FF stockholders pursuant to which FFGP will vote as a proxy of all of the Class A Common Stock owned by such FF stockholders subject to certain limitations. As a result, FFGP exercises voting power for less than 4.1% of FF’s outstanding Common Stock as of September 30, 2023.

The Company’s ability to produce the FF 91 series on a meaningful scale at its Hanford, California facility may be substantially delayed or result in material unanticipated cost increases, which would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

FF plans to continue building out its FF ieFactory in Hanford, California, to support the production of the FF 91 series. The Company may experience delays and other difficulties that could further increase costs and adversely affect FF’s scheduled timeline to manufacture and deliver vehicles at scale. Various risks and uncertainties inherent in new manufacturing processes could result in delays in the production of FF’s vehicles including, for example, those with respect to the Company’s:

•ability to secure funding necessary to complete the build-out of the FF ieFactory California;

•securing permits and certificates required to manufacture FF’s vehicles at scale;

•pace of bringing production equipment and processes online with the capability to manufacture high-quality units at scale;

•compliance with complex and evolving environmental, workplace safety and similar regulations;

•channels to secure necessary equipment, tools and components from suppliers on acceptable terms or at all and in a timely manner;

•the ability to attract, recruit, hire and train skilled employees;

•quality controls;

•facing a health emergency such as the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, difficult economic conditions, and international political tensions; and

•other delays and cost increases and overruns.

If the Company in unable to timely produce the FF 91 series on a meaningful scale at FF ieFactory California or experiences unanticipated cost increases or overruns, it would have a material adverse impact on its business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES, USE OF PROCEEDS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Pursuant to the Secured SPA, Unsecured SPA and Unsecured Streeterville SPA, each as amended or supplemented, the Company sold approximately $4.2 million in principal amount of SPA notes to investors since the filing of Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities in the Form 8-K filed on October 18, 2023. The Company may sell an additional approximately $85.1 million in principal amount of SPA Notes. The SPA Notes were issued, to the extent issued, or will be issued, to the extent unissued, pursuant to the exemption from registration requirements of the Securities Act, provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof. See “Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 7, Notes Payable” for additional information regarding the SPA Notes.

The SPA Notes, upon the funding, may be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock on a cashless basis at any time, at the request of the holders subject to the availability of registered shares or the note holder satisfying the holding period pursuant to Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). As of November 9, 2023, the principal conversion price of the SPA Notes was $1.05 per share and the interest make whole conversion price was $3.6320 per share. The principal conversion price is subject to a anti-dilution adjustments, including full ratchet price protection if the

Company has a subsequent equity sale below $1.05 per share, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the convertible notes. For every $1.0 million of notes converted, the Company would issue 10,235,408, 1,187,789, 1,123,381, and 1,037,881 shares at a hypothetical per share price of Class A Common Stock of $0.10, $3.00, $5.00, and $10.00, respectively.

The shares to be issued upon conversion of the principal amounts under the convertible notes to each of the holders, will be issued pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, provided by Section 3(a)(9) thereof.
