Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
EVO Transportation & Energy Services, Inc. is a transportation provider serving the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) and other customers. We believe EVO is the second largest surface transportation company serving the USPS, with a diversified fleet of tractors, straight trucks, and other vehicles that currently operate on either diesel fuel or compressed natural gas (“CNG”). In certain markets, we fuel our vehicles at

Going Concern
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $
The following significant transactions and events affecting the Company’s liquidity occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2021:

EVO TRANSPORTATION & ENERGY SERVICES, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The following significant transactions and events affecting the Company’s liquidity occurred following the nine months ended September 30, 2021:
As a result of these circumstances, the Company believes its existing cash, together with any positive cash flows from operations, may not be sufficient to support working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months, and the Company may be required to seek additional financing from outside sources.
In evaluating the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and its potential need to seek additional financing from outside sources, management also considered the following conditions:
As a result of the circumstances described above, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to make the required payments on its debt, factoring or leasing obligations; to satisfy future operating expenses; to make capital expenditures; or to provide for other cash needs.
Management’s plans to mitigate the Company’s current conditions include:
Notwithstanding management’s plans, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to address its current liquidity and capital resource constraints. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Refer to Notes 5 and 6 for further information regarding the Company’s factoring and debt obligations. Refer to Note 13, Subsequent Events, for further information regarding changes in the Company’s debt obligations and liquidity subsequent to September 30, 2021.
Seasonality
Results of operations generally follow seasonal patterns in the transportation industry. Freight volumes in the first quarter are typically lower due to less consumer demand, consumers reducing shipments following the holiday season, and inclement weather. At the same time, operating costs generally increase, and tractor productivity decreases during the winter months due to decreased fuel efficiency, increased cold weather-related equipment maintenance and repairs, and increased insurance claims and costs due to higher accident frequency from harsh weather. Combined, these factors typically result in lower operating profitability as compared to other periods. Further, beginning in the latter half of the third quarter and continuing into the fourth quarter, the Company typically experiences surges pertaining to online holiday shopping, the length of the holiday season (shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas), and holiday surge pricing on USPS contracts.
Basis of Presentation
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The consolidated financial statements include some amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. The most significant estimates relate to goodwill and long-lived asset valuations, purchase price allocations related to the Company’s business combinations, valuation allowance on deferred income tax assets, and the valuation of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants and stock-based awards.
Earnings (Loss) per Share of Common Stock
Basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Potentially dilutive shares, which are based on the weighted-average shares of common stock underlying outstanding stock-based awards, warrants and convertible notes payable and preferred stock using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, as applicable, are included when calculating diluted net loss per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders when their effect is dilutive.
The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (amounts in thousands, except share data):

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The
Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). The new guidance changes the accounting for estimated credit losses pertaining to certain types of financial instruments including, but not limited to, trade and lease receivables. This pronouncement will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption of the guidance is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating and assessing the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. Under ASU 2020-06, the embedded conversion features are no longer separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. The new guidance also requires the if-converted method be applied for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard requires using either the modified retrospective or the retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating and assessing the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments (Topic 470-50), Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which clarifies existing guidance for freestanding written call options which are equity classified and remain so after they are

modified or exchanged in order to reduce diversity in practice. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating and assessing the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements
Financial assets and liabilities are initially recorded at fair value. The carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, are carried at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments and are Level 1 assets or liabilities of the fair value hierarchy.
The accounting guidance for fair value provides a framework for measuring fair value, clarifies the definition of fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 ‑ Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 ‑ Inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 ‑ Inputs are unobservable and reflect the Company’s assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s derivative liability embedded in its September 2019 Financing Agreement related to the mandatory prepayment feature is measured at fair value using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model and is classified as a Level 3 liability of the fair value
27
EVO TRANSPORTATION & ENERGY SERVICES, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. The liability is presented as an embedded derivative liability on the consolidated balance sheets and is subject to remeasurement to fair value at the end of each reporting period, with the change in fair value recognized as a component of other expense in its consolidated statements of operations. The assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model include: (1) management's estimates of the probability and timing of future cash flows and related events; (2) the Company's risk-adjusted discount rate that includes a company-specific risk premium; and (3) the Company's cost of debt.

In the normal course of business, the Company is party to litigation from time to time. The Company maintains insurance to cover certain actions and believes that resolution of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
On March 19, 2018, Whisler Holdings, LLC, Mitesh Kalthia, and Jean M. Noutary, the owners of the property leased by El Toro for the Company’s El Toro station, initiated a lawsuit in the Superior Court of Orange County, California, related to the lease agreement for the El Toro station. The complaint alleges breach of contract and sought money damages, costs, attorneys’ fees and other appropriate relief. On October 11, 2018, the court issued a default judgement in favor of the plaintiff in the amount of approximately $

Note 12 - Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company estimates the degree to which tax assets and credit carryforwards will result in a benefit based on expected profitability by tax jurisdiction. A valuation allowance for such tax assets and loss carryforwards is provided when it is determined to be more likely than not that the benefit of such deferred tax asset will not be realized in future periods. Tax benefits of operating loss carryforwards are evaluated on an ongoing basis, including a review of historical and projected future operating results, the eligible carryforward period, and other circumstances. If it becomes more likely than not that a tax asset will be used, the related valuation allowance on such assets would be reduced.
The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Once this threshold has been met, the Company’s measurement of its expected tax benefits is recognized in its financial statements. The Company accrues interest on unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Penalties, if incurred, would be recognized as a component of income tax expense.

Background and Recent Developments
EVO Transportation & Energy Services, Inc. is a transportation provider serving the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) and other customers. We believe EVO is the second largest surface transportation company serving the USPS, with a diversified fleet of tractors, straight trucks, and other vehicles that currently operate on either diesel fuel or compressed natural gas (“CNG”). In certain markets, we fuel our vehicles at one of our three CNG stations that serve other customers as well. We are actively engaged in reducing CO2 emissions by operating on CNG, pursuing opportunities to use other alternative fuels, and by optimizing the routing efficiency of our operations to reduce fuel usage. We operate from our headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona and from 10 main terminals located throughout the United States.
EVO has grown primarily through acquisitions, and we have completed seven acquisitions since our initial business combination in 2016. We have also grown organically by obtaining new contracts from the USPS and other customers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we generated $190.6 million in revenues (which includes $34.8 million of nonrecurring revenue) from the USPS. We have been actively integrating the acquisitions we have made under common leadership and technology and are now operating under a single umbrella brand.
Sources of Revenue
Our USPS trucking operations generates revenue for our trucking segment from transportation services under multi-year contracts with the USPS, generally on a rate per mile basis that adjusts monthly for fuel pricing indexes.
Our freight trucking operations generates revenue for our trucking segment by providing both irregular and dedicated route and cross-border transportation services of various products, goods, and materials for a diverse customer base.
Our CNG station revenue is derived predominately pursuant to contractual fuel purchase commitments. These contracts typically include a stand-ready obligation to supply natural gas daily. The CNG stations are also open to individual consumers. In addition to revenue earned from our customers, we may also earn alternative fuel tax credits through certain federal programs. These programs are generally short-term in nature and require legislation to be passed extending the term.
Results from Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2021, as compared with the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020
Trucking Segment
Trucking revenue: The majority of Trucking revenue is derived from the USPS. The remainder of the revenue is derived from corporate freight hauling. The USPS contracts are typically four years in duration and are priced on a rate per mile basis which varies by contract. The USPS contracts also include a monthly fuel adjustment. Trucking revenue was $68.8 million and $52.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $16.7 million, or 32.1%, increase in Trucking revenue from the three months ended September 30, 2020 to the three months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to revenue from new USPS contracts, along with increased fuel surcharge revenue as a result of increased fuel prices.
34
Payroll, benefits and related: Driver wages are fixed per contract with USPS and are eligible for renegotiation with USPS on a bi-annual basis. In addition to an hourly wage that is set by the Department of Labor, drivers also earn an incremental hourly rate for benefits. Payroll, benefits and related expense was $25.7 million and $25.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Despite a 32.1% increase in trucking revenue from the three months ended September 30, 2020 to the three months ended September 30, 2021, payroll, benefits and related expense increased only $0.3 million, or 1.2%, from the three months ended September 30, 2020 to the three months ended September 30, 2021 due to a $9.8 million, or 130.7%, increase in purchased transportation expense from the three months ended September 30, 2020 to the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Purchased transportation: Purchased transportation represents payments to subcontracted third-party companies. These contracts are negotiated on a rate per mile basis and the subcontracting company is responsible for supplying all resources to perform the service including, but not limited to, labor, equipment, fuel and associated expenses. Purchased transportation expense was $17.3 million and $7.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $9.8 million, or 130.7%, increase in purchased transportation expense from the three months ended September 30, 2020 to the three months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to the use of subcontracted third-party company resources to service the aforementioned new USPS contracts that generated the increase in revenue from 2020 to 2021.
Fuel: Fuel expense is comprised of diesel and CNG fuel required to operate the truck fleet. The Company manages fuel cost by negotiating volume discounts from rack fuel rates with select vendors. Fuel expense was $7.3 million and $5.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $2.3 million, or 46.0%, increase in fuel expense is due primarily to the 32.1% increase in trucking revenue combined with an increase in the average DOE fuel price to $3.36 per gallon for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $2.43 per gallon for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Equipment rent: The Company rents and leases a portion of its trucks and trailers through a combination of short-term rental arrangements and long-term lease arrangements. Equipment rent expense was $3.7 million and $2.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $1.6 million, or 76.2%, increase in equipment rent expense from the three months ended September 30, 2020 to the three months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to the need to service the aforementioned new USPS contracts that generated the increase in revenue from 2020 to 2021.
Maintenance and Supplies: Maintenance and supplies expense primarily includes the costs to maintain the fleet. Maintenance and supplies expense was $2.6 million and $2.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $0.3 million or 13.0%, increase in maintenance and supplies expense from the three months ended September 30, 2020 to the three months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to an increase in the size of the fleet combined with increased maintenance costs for the existing fleet, which the Company is in process of refreshing with newer equipment.
Insurance and claims: Insurance and claims is comprised of auto liability and physical damage and workers compensation expense related to the trucking segment of the business. Insurance and claims expense was $1.9 million and $2.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $0.2 million, or 9.5%, decrease in insurance and claims expense from the three months ended September 30, 2020 to the three months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to lower premiums and fewer significant, nonrecurring claims.
Operating supplies and expenses: Operating and supplies expense includes all other direct costs in the Trucking segment. Operating supplies and expenses was $3.7 million and $3.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
CNG Fueling Stations Segment
CNG revenue: Revenue for the CNG stations was $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
CNG operating expenses: CNG operating expense is comprised of natural gas, electricity, federal excise tax, vendor use fuel tax and credit card fees. CNG operating expense was less than $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
EVO Consolidated
General and administrative: General and administrative expense was $6.3 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $1.4 million, or 28.6%, increase in general and administrative expense from the three
35
months ended September 30, 2020 to the three months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits and accounting and auditing professional fees.
Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense was $4.0 million and $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The slight increase is due to an increase in finance lease right-of-use asset amortization expense being substantially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense.
Interest expense: Interest expense was $2.8 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $0.3 million, or 9.7%, decrease in interest expense from the three months ended September 30, 2020 to the three months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to during the first quarter of 2021 the Company using all of the net proceeds of the Main Street Loan to pay down the aggregate principal amount due under the Antara Financing Agreement, including capitalized interest, from $33.6 million to $16.7 million. Refer to Note 6, Debt, for a description of these activities.
Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt: The $10.2 million gain on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended September 30, 2021 is due to the extinguishment of the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Paycheck Protection Program Loan, which was forgiven by the SBA in July 2021.
Change in fair value of embedded derivative liability: The Antara Financing Agreement contains a mandatory prepayment feature that was determined to be an embedded derivative, requiring bifurcation and fair value recognition for the derivative liability. The fair value of this derivative liability is remeasured at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. Refer to Note 6, Debt, and Note 9, Fair Value Measurements, for further discussion.
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities: The Company previously issued certain warrants that are not considered indexed to the Company's common stock and, therefore, are required to be classified as liabilities and measured at fair value at each reporting date with the change in fair value being recognized in the Company's results of operations during each reporting period. The change in fair value of substantially all of the warrants classified as liabilities is recognized in other income (expense). Refer to Note 7, Stockholders' Deficit and Warrants, and Note 9, Fair Value Measurements, for further discussion.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021, as compared with the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020
Trucking Segment
Trucking revenue: The majority of Trucking revenue is derived from the USPS. The remainder of the revenue is derived from corporate freight hauling. The USPS contracts are typically four years in duration and are priced on a rate per mile basis which varies by contract. The USPS contracts also include a monthly fuel adjustment. Trucking revenue was $179.2 million and $159.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $19.9 million, or 12.5%, increase in Trucking revenue from the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to revenue from new USPS contracts, along with increased fuel surcharge revenue as a result of increased fuel prices.
Other revenue: During the first quarter of 2021, the Company entered into agreements with the USPS to settle claims submitted by the Company seeking additional compensation for transportation services provided under certain DRO contracts. The Company received a total of $28.5 million related to these claims and also renegotiated the contractual rates per mile for some of its DRO contracts on a prospective basis. In addition, amounts totaling $6.3 million that were previously paid by the USPS to the Company during 2020 became subject to the terms of the settlement agreements and were recognized as a deferred gain as of December 31, 2020. The aforementioned amounts totaling $34.8 million were recognized as other revenue during the first quarter of 2021 in the consolidated statement of operations. Such amounts are for transportation services provided during 2020 and prior years, are not subject to refund, and are not contingent upon the Company providing future transportation services. Refer to Note 1, Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for further discussion.
Payroll, benefits and related: Driver wages are fixed per contract with USPS and are eligible for renegotiation with USPS on a bi-annual basis. In addition to an hourly wage that is set by the Department of Labor, drivers also earn an incremental hourly rate for benefits. Payroll, benefits and related expense was $69.4 million and $78.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Despite a 12.5% increase in trucking revenue from the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, payroll, benefits and related expense decreased $8.7 million, or 11.1%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to a $15.0 million, or 65.2%, increase in purchased transportation expense from the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
36
Purchased transportation: Purchased transportation represents payments to subcontracted third-party companies. These contracts are negotiated on a rate per mile basis and the subcontracting company is responsible for supplying all resources to perform the service including, but not limited to, labor, equipment, fuel and associated expenses. Purchased transportation expense was $38.0 million and $23.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $15.0 million, or 65.2%, increase in purchased transportation expense from the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to the use of subcontracted third-party company resources to service the aforementioned new USPS contracts that generated the increase in revenue from 2020 to 2021.
Fuel: Fuel expense is comprised of diesel and CNG fuel required to operate the truck fleet. The Company manages fuel cost by negotiating volume discounts from rack fuel rates with select vendors. Fuel expense was $19.1 million and $16.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $2.2 million, or 13.0%, increase in fuel expense is due primarily to the 12.5% increase in trucking revenue combined with an increase in the average DOE fuel price to $3.15 per gallon for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $2.58 per gallon for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Equipment rent: The Company rents and leases a portion of its trucks and trailers through a combination of short-term rental arrangements and long-term lease arrangements. Equipment rent expense was $9.3 million and $7.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $1.6 million, or 20.8%, increase in equipment rent expense from the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to the need to service the aforementioned new USPS contracts that generated the increase in revenue from 2020 to 2021.
Maintenance and Supplies: Maintenance and supplies expense primarily includes the costs to maintain the fleet. Maintenance and supplies expense was $7.4 million and $7.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $0.4 million, or 5.1%, decrease in maintenance and supplies expense from the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to reduced maintenance spend on existing equipment in advance of the planned refreshing of our fleet with newer equipment.
Insurance and claims: Insurance and claims is comprised of auto liability and physical damage and workers compensation expense related to the trucking segment of the business. Insurance and claims expense was $6.9 million and $7.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $0.7 million, or 9.2%, decrease in insurance and claims expense from the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to lower premiums and fewer significant, nonrecurring claims.
Operating supplies and expenses: Operating and supplies expense includes all other direct costs in the Trucking segment. Operating supplies and expenses was $11.3 million and $11.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $0.4 million, or 3.4%, decrease in operating supplies and expenses from the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to more cost efficient completion of certain routes.
CNG Fueling Stations Segment
CNG revenue: Revenue for the CNG stations was $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
CNG operating expenses: CNG operating expense is comprised of natural gas, electricity, federal excise tax, vendor use fuel tax and credit card fees. CNG operating expense was $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
EVO Consolidated
General and administrative: General and administrative expense was $17.1 million and $14.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $3.0 million, or 21.3%, increase in general and administrative expense from the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits and accounting and auditing professional fees.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense was $11.4 million and $10.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The slight increase is due to an increase in finance lease right-of-use asset amortization expense being substantially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense.
Interest expense: Interest expense was $9.7 million and $10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $0.4 million, or 4.0%, decrease in interest expense from the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to during the first quarter of 2021 the Company using all of the net proceeds of the Main Street Loan to pay down the aggregate principal amount due under the Antara Financing Agreement, including capitalized interest, from $33.6 million to $16.7 million. Refer to Note 6, Debt, for a description of these activities.
Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt: The $11.0 million gain on extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is due to: (1) the $10.1 million gain on extinguishment of the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Paycheck Protection Program Loan, which was forgiven by the SBA in July 2021; (2) the $2.5 million gain on the partial extinguishment of the $4.0 million Secured Convertible Promissory Notes during March and April 2021; and (3) the $1.7 million loss on extinguishment resulting from using all of the net proceeds from the Main Street Loan to pay down the aggregate principal amount due under the Antara Financing Agreement (including capitalized interest) from $33.6 million to $16.7 million during the first quarter of 2021. The $10.0 million loss on extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is due primarily to the $10.1 million loss on extinguishment of debt relating to the Company's March 31, 2020 Waiver and Agreement to Issue Warrant (the “Waiver Agreement”) with Antara Capital and the collateral agent. The Waiver Agreement modified a certain affirmative covenant and waived another affirmative covenant in the Antara Financing Agreement and, in exchange, the Company agreed to issue to Antara Capital a warrant to purchase up to 3,250,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share as an incentive. Refer to Note 6, Debt, for further discussion.
Change in fair value of embedded derivative liability: The Antara Financing Agreement contains a mandatory prepayment feature that was determined to be an embedded derivative, requiring bifurcation and fair value recognition for the derivative liability. The fair value of this derivative liability is remeasured at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. Refer to Note 6, Debt, and Note 9, Fair Value Measurements, for further discussion.
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities: The Company previously issued certain warrants that are not considered indexed to the Company's common stock and, therefore, are required to be classified as liabilities and measured at fair value at each reporting date with the change in fair value being recognized in the Company's results of operations during each reporting period. The change in fair value of substantially all of the warrants classified as liabilities is recognized in other income (expense). Refer to Note 7, Stockholders' Deficit and Warrants, and Note 9, Fair Value Measurements, for further discussion.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021, as compared with the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020
Changes in Liquidity
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were $6.7 million and $26.6 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The decrease is primarily attributable to cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which includes the Company using the proceeds received from its borrowings under the Main Street Priority Loan Program during the fourth quarter of 2020 to pay down the aggregate principal amount due to Antara, including capitalized interest, from $33.6 million to $16.7 million during the first quarter of 2021.
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operations was $10.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which included $28.5 million of nonrecurring cash receipts from the USPS settlement agreements. Net cash used in operating activities was $21.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had net income of $27.4 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had a net loss of $32.6 million.
For nine months ended September 30, 2021, the net income included $5.9 million in adjustments for non-cash items and $23.3 million of cash used for changes in working capital. Non-cash items primarily consisted of $11.4 million in depreciation and amortization, $4.8 million in non-cash interest expense, non-cash lease expense of $2.9 million, stock-based compensation expense of $0.5 million, and amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs of $0.8 million, partially offset by a gain on extinguishment of debt of $11.0 million, a $2.2 million change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and a $1.4 million change in fair value of embedded derivative liability.
38
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the net loss was partially offset by $23.1 million in adjustments for non-cash items and further reduced by $11.5 million of cash used for changes in working capital. Non-cash items primarily consisted of $10.9 million in depreciation and amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt of $10.0 million, $2.8 million in non-cash interest expense, non-cash lease expense of $3.0 million, stock option and warrant-based compensation expense of $0.4 million, and amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs of $1.8 million, partially offset by a $5.5 million change in fair value of warrant liabilities and a $0.7 million change in fair value of embedded derivative liability.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and net cash provided by investing activities was $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily related to $7.1 million of capital expenditures. The net cash provided by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is related to proceeds from the sale of fixed assets.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $23.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Net cash provided by financing activities was $24.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily consisted of $149.5 million in payments on factoring arrangements, $22.8 million in payments of debt principal, and $3.1 million in payments on finance lease liabilities, partially offset by $147.2 million in advances from factoring receivables and $5.7 million of proceeds from the issuance of debt. The cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily consisted of $132.3 million in advances from factoring receivables, proceeds of $16.2 million from the issuance of debt, and $6.2 million in proceeds from the sale of common stock, preferred stock and warrants, partially offset by $122.5 million in payments on factoring arrangements, $4.7 million in payments of debt principal, and $2.5 million in payments on finance lease liabilities.
Sources of Liquidity
Our primary historical and future sources of liquidity are cash on hand ($6.7 million at September 30, 2021), the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the sale of the Company’s common stock or preferred stock, and advances under our accounts receivable factoring arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing in the future via the incurrence of additional indebtedness or the sale of the Company’s common stock or preferred stock.
Uses of Liquidity
Our business requires substantial amounts of cash for operating activities, including salaries and wages paid to our employees, contract payments to independent contractors, and payments for fuel, maintenance and supplies, and other expenses. We also use large amounts of cash and credit for principal and interest payments, as well as operating and finance lease liabilities and capital expenditures to fund the replacement and/or growth in our tractor and trailer fleet.
Going Concern
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $6.7 million, a working capital deficit of $73.4 million, stockholders’ deficit of $37.7 million, and material debt and lease obligations of $122.7 million, which include term loan borrowings under a financing agreement with Antara Capital. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company reported cash provided by operating activities of $10.0 million that included $28.5 million of nonrecurring cash receipts from the USPS settlement agreements and net income of $27.4 million that included $34.8 million of pre-tax nonrecurring revenue from the USPS settlement agreements and a $11.0 million pre-tax gain on extinguishment of debt.
The following significant transactions and events affecting the Company’s liquidity occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2021:
39
The following significant transactions and events affecting the Company’s liquidity occurred following the nine months ended September 30, 2021:
As a result of these circumstances, the Company believes its existing cash, together with any positive cash flows from operations, may not be sufficient to support working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months, and the Company may be required to seek additional financing from outside sources.
In evaluating the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and its potential need to seek additional financing from outside sources, management also considered the following conditions:
As a result of the circumstances described above, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to make the required payments on its debt, factoring or leasing obligations; to satisfy future operating expenses; to make capital expenditures; or to provide for other cash needs.
Management’s plans to mitigate the Company’s current conditions include:
40
Notwithstanding management’s plans, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to address its current liquidity and capital resource constraints. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Refer to Notes 5 and 6 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the Company’s factoring and debt obligations. Refer to Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding changes in the Company’s debt obligations and liquidity subsequent to September 30, 2021.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide disclosure under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of its principal executive and principal financial officers, is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company 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. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In accordance with Exchange Act rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, the Company performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive and financial officers regarding the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including its principal executive and financial officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2021, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below in “Evaluation of Internal Controls and Procedures” including limitations in management’s evaluation of internal controls as a result of insufficient documentation of internal controls under the standards of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) (2013 Framework). In light of these material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.
Evaluation of Internal Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a set of processes designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. It should be noted that any system of internal control, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based on the Company’s evaluation, it identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below, and management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as described below. The Company also took steps seeking to mitigate and remediate these material weaknesses as described under “Management’s Remediation Plan and Status of Remediation Efforts” below.
42
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company’s management considered to be material weaknesses were:
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management intends to implement the remediation steps discussed below to address the material weaknesses and to improve our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Remediation Plan
In light of the control deficiencies identified at September 30, 2021, and described in the section titled “Evaluation of Internal Controls and Procedures,” we have designed and plan to implement the specific remediation initiatives described below:
43
While the Company believes the steps taken to date and those planned for implementation will improve the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting, it has not completed all remediation efforts identified above. Accordingly, the Company has and will continue to perform additional procedures and employ additional tools and resources it determines necessary to ensure that its consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in all material respects.
The Company has engaged third party advisors to undertake, under management’s supervision, a comprehensive examination and analysis of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the material weaknesses as they relate to control activities. The Company will make further changes and improve its internal control over financial reporting following management’s review and development of the complete remediation plan that is responsive to the findings of the examination.
The Company believes the remediation measures will strengthen the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and remediate the material weaknesses identified. Management will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these remediation measures and will make changes and take other actions that are appropriate given the circumstances.
