Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements, in addition to those described in detail under Items 1A of this Report - “Risk Factors” - include, but are not limited to the following: ● our ability to identify financing sources to fund our capital expenditure requirements and continue operations until sufficient cash flow can be generated from operations; ● our ability to effectively execute our business plan and growth strategy; ● unforeseen or recurring operational problems at our facility, or a catastrophic loss of our manufacturing facility, including the temporary closures of our facility that might be required as a result of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic; ● our dependence on our suppliers, whose ability to supply us may be negatively impacted by, among other things, the measures being implemented to address COVID-19; ● changes in consumer demand for, and acceptance of, our products; ● overall strength and stability of general economic conditions and of the automotive industry more specifically, both in the United States and globally; ● changes in U.S. and foreign trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs and the resulting consequences; ● changes in the competitive environment, including adoption of technologies and products that compete with our products; ● our ability to generate consistent revenues; 1 ● our ability to design, produce and market our vehicles within projected timeframes given that a vehicle consists of several thousand unique items and we can only go as fast as the slowest item; ● our inexperience to date in manufacturing vehicles at the high volumes that we anticipate; ● our reliance on as well as our ability to attract and retain key personnel; ● changes in the price of oil and electricity; ● changes in laws or regulations governing our business and operations; ● our ability to maintain adequate liquidity and financing sources and an appropriate level of debt, if any, on terms favorable to our company; ● the number of reservations and cancellations for our vehicles and our ability to deliver on those reservations; ● our ability to maintain quality control over our vehicles and avoid material vehicle recalls; ● our ability to manage the distribution channels for our products, including our ability to successfully implement our direct to consumer distribution strategy and any additional distribution strategies we may deem appropriate; ● our ability to obtain and protect our existing intellectual property protections including patents; ● changes in accounting principles, or their application or interpretation, and our ability to make estimates and the assumptions underlying the estimates, which could have an effect on earnings or losses; ● interest rates and the credit markets; ● costs and risks associated with litigation; and ● other risks described from time to time in periodic and current reports that we file with the SEC. 2 Item 1. Business Overview Arcimoto, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Oregon on November 21, 2007. The Company’s mission is to catalyze the global shift to a sustainable transportation system. Over the past 13 years, the Company has developed a new vehicle platform designed around the needs of everyday drivers. Having approximately one-third the weight and one-third of the footprint of the average car, the Arcimoto platform’s purpose is to bring the joy of ultra-efficient, pure electric driving to the masses. To date, the Company has introduced five vehicle products built on this platform that target specific niches in the vehicle market: our flagship product, the Fun Utility Vehicle® (“FUV®”), for everyday consumer trips; the Deliverator® for last-mile delivery and general fleet utility; the Rapid Responder™ for emergency services and security; the Cameo™ for film, sports and influencers; and the Arcimoto Roadster, an unparalleled pure-electric on-road thrill machine. Retail production began on September 19, 2019. In total, Arcimoto produced 57 model year 2019 vehicles, 46 of which were delivered to customers by December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2020, Arcimoto produced 117 model year 2020 vehicles, and delivered 97 vehicles to customers. In March 2020, Arcimoto launched production pilots of the Rapid Responder and Deliverator product lines. In September 2020, the Company on-roaded its fourth product concept, the Cameo. In November 2020, the Company unveiled its fifth product concept, the Arcimoto Roadster prototype. For a portion of 2020, Arcimoto’s production operations were suspended in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company restarted limited production and resumed deliveries to customers in the third quarter. The Company’s focus is now squarely on volume production planning in order to push to sustainable profitability and fulfill the thousands of pre-orders in our queue, as well as to meet the demand generated by our pilot fleet vehicles in the field. The Company is currently preparing an application for the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Loan Program to secure the funds necessary to execute our growth strategy. Platform and Technologies Arcimoto spent its first decade developing and refining eight generations of a new three-wheeled electric vehicle platform: a light-footprint, nimble reverse-trike architecture that features a low center of gravity for stability on the road; dual-motor front-wheel drive for enhanced traction; can be parked three to a space while carrying two large adults comfortably, and is more efficient, by an order of magnitude, than today’s gas-powered cars. The Company has secured 10 utility patents on various constituent technologies and vehicle platform architectures. Products Arcimoto’s vehicle products are based on the Arcimoto Platform. While intended to serve very different market segments, an estimated 90% of the constituent parts are the same between all products currently in production and development. Fun Utility Vehicle® (FUV®) Arcimoto’s flagship product is the Fun Utility Vehicle. The FUV delivers a thrilling ride experience, exceptional maneuverability, comfort for two passengers with cargo, highly- efficient parking (three FUVs to a single parking space), and ultra-efficient operation, all at an affordable price. Over time, we anticipate offering the FUV with several option packages to meet the needs of a variety of customers. We led with a consumer product because we are a consumer-first brand. We believe individuals should be able to choose more efficient, more affordable, and lighter-footprint mobility solutions, so that more of us can participate in the transition to a sustainable transportation future. 3 Rapid Responder™ The Rapid Responder was announced on February 15, 2019. The pure-electric Rapid Responder is developed on the Arcimoto platform, and designed to perform specialized emergency, security and law enforcement services at a fraction of the cost and environmental impact of traditional combustion vehicles. The Rapid Responder aims to deliver first responders to incidents more quickly and affordably than traditional emergency response vehicles. Arcimoto is initially targeting the more than 50,000 fire stations across the United States that use traditional fire engines and large automobiles to respond to calls. Arcimoto also plans to market the Rapid Responder as a solution for campus security and law enforcement applications. Deliverator® Development of the Deliverator was officially announced on March 19, 2019 with the reveal of the first Deliverator prototype. The Deliverator is a pure electric, last-mile delivery solution designed to more quickly, efficiently, and affordably get goods where they need to go. We plan for the Deliverator to be customizable to carry a wide array of products, from pizza, groceries, and cold goods to the 65 billion parcels delivered worldwide annually. Cameo (™) Arcimoto completed a prototype of the Cameo, an FUV equipped with a rear-facing rear seat and a modified roof built for on-road filming in September 2020. We teased the Cameo prototype in several Arcimoto videos in September 2020 and have used the Cameo to shoot all of our own driving footage since its on-roading. Development of the Cameo is still in the planning stages. The Cameo is aimed at the film industry, as well as the growing influencer and DIY film market. Arcimoto Roadster The Arcimoto Roadster prototype was first introduced in a video released October 30, 2020. Conceived as a pure platform fun machine, the Roadster offers a lower center of gravity, lower overall weight, and potentially improved aerodynamics. We announced the formal development of the Roadster product, in collaboration with industry partners on November 16, 2020. Autonomous Arcimoto Our long-term goal is to offer the market one of the lowest cost, most efficient “last mile” human and goods transport solutions for the robotically-driven world. We intend that our platform will provide a ready foundation for self-driving technology deployment. Sales and Distribution Model Arcimoto’s sales and distribution model is direct. Customers place vehicle orders on our website, and the vehicle product will be delivered directly to the end user via common carrier or our own delivery fleet. The website ordering and vehicle configuration system is functional, with further development planned to become more fully automated. On October 26, 2020, we announced a partnership with DHL to provide nationwide home delivery of the FUV. They are currently handling the bulk of our customer deliveries. Rental Model We plan to augment this direct web purchase process with small-footprint experience rental in select key markets. This rental model will give prospective customers a direct experience with the physical product before purchasing. 4 Service We are pursuing three different models for service of the FUV: Service-on-demand Our initial model is on-demand and on-site vehicle service by Arcimoto technicians or Arcimoto-authorized technicians. Service-on-demand will likely be the primary model during our West Coast release as the majority of the vehicles will be geographically located relatively near the factory. We intend for customers to request service either through the Arcimoto mobile app or by calling a 24-hour service number. In-market partnership We are currently reviewing potential service partners located in our key distribution regions. We have contracted with Agero Driver Assistance Services, Inc. to provide our customers with roadside assistance. We are currently reviewing Agero’s network of pre-approved third-party service providers, as well as other third-party service providers, to perform service on Arcimoto vehicles. We will be selecting and certifying providers near our customers based on our planned expansion. Retail facility service We plan to employ Arcimoto service technicians at some of our rental locations, depending on the dealer laws in the state. Customers near those rental locations would be able to deliver their vehicle to that location for service needs. Warranty We provide a manufacturer’s warranty on all new and used vehicles we sell for the lesser of three years or thirty-six thousand miles. We accrue a warranty reserve for the products sold by us, which includes our best estimate of the projected costs to repair or replace items under warranties and recalls when identified. These estimates are based on actual claims incurred to date and an estimate of the nature, frequency and costs of future claims. These estimates are inherently uncertain given our relatively short history of sales, and changes to our historical or projected warranty experience may cause material changes to the warranty reserve in the future. The warranty reserve does not include projected warranty costs associated with our vehicles subject to operating lease accounting as the costs to repair these warranty claims are expensed as incurred. The portion of the warranty reserve expected to be incurred within the next 12 months is in current portion of warranty reserve, while the remaining balance is in warranty reserve on the consolidated balance sheets. Warranty expense is recorded as a component of cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. Facility In October 2017, we took possession of our new factory, the AMP, and immediately began retrofitting the space. In December 2017, all employees relocated to the new site and we began operations there. To make the new factory usable for our purposes, we updated the building with brighter energy efficient lighting, polished the production floor to improve cleanliness, painted to increase light levels, remodeled the employee facilities and commenced installation of the manufacturing equipment. Further, we enclosed approximately 8,000 square feet of loading dock area at the AMP to create a well-organized materials space with four truck loading bays, improving inventory management. During the fourth quarter of 2018, we remodeled a 5,700 square foot inventory warehouse located across the street from the AMP into useable office spaces and moved non- manufacturing personnel into these new offices in order to free up production space in the AMP. We also leased an approximately 4,500 square foot retail location in San Diego California to serve as a dealer location and rental center. During the fourth quarter of 2019, we leased an approximately 10,800 square foot building with warehouse and office space approximately six blocks east of the AMP. The office space is being used by our marketing team and the warehouse space is being used by R&D and for battery module manufacturing. During the first quarter of 2020, we leased an approximately 10,800 square foot building with warehouse and office space next to the building leased during the fourth quarter of 2019. This location is being used for service operations. 5 During the fourth quarter of 2020, we leased an approximately 100 square foot office in Orlando Florida to serve as a dealer location. During the first quarter of 2021, we leased an approximately 15,000 square foot facility that consists of the 2nd floor of the office building located at 155 Blair Blvd., Eugene, OR and also a warehouse located at 135 Blair Blvd., Eugene, OR to serve as a dealer location and rental center. On December 23, 2020, we entered into a purchase agreement for the properties located at 311 Chambers St. and 1480 W. 3rd Ave., Eugene, Oregon. The properties consist of an approximately 220,000 square foot warehouse space situated on approximately 10.7 acres. The closing of the sale is scheduled to occur on April 19, 2021. This space will be used for increased production capacity. Governmental Programs, Incentives and Regulations Many governmental standards and regulations relating to safety, fuel economy, emissions control, noise control, vehicle recycling, substances of concern, vehicle damage, recall, and theft prevention are applicable to new motor vehicles, engines, and equipment manufactured for sale in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere. In addition, manufacturing and other vehicle assembly facilities in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere are subject to stringent standards regulating air emissions, water discharges, and the handling and disposal of hazardous substances. In addition, the regulations in this area are constantly evolving, especially with the entry of new vehicles into the market. Some of the significant standards and regulations affecting Arcimoto are discussed below: Motor Vehicle Safety The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (the “NHTSA”) defines a motorcycle as “a motor vehicle with motive power having a seat or saddle for the use of the rider and designed to travel on not more than three wheels in contact with the ground.” In order for a manufacturer to sell motorcycles in the United States, the manufacturer must self- certify to meet a certain set of regulatory requirements promulgated by the NHTSA in its Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. In 2018, Arcimoto developed an internal regulatory compliance team to ensure that the FUV production vehicles would meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards requirements for motorcycles. In the third quarter of 2019, we completed the vehicle testing begun in the first quarter of 2019. Arcimoto tested to verify robustness of its vehicle design, to demonstrate compliance with all Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards required for motorcycles, and to demonstrate proper function of voluntarily-added equipment such as the FUV’s 3+3 seat belts. At the end of the third quarter of 2019, vehicle testing and regulatory requirements were completed, and we initiated the sales process with our first customers. The Company has had various recalls for issues that have been discovered, which have been partially completed. All proper protocols have been followed for reporting these recalls to NHTSA and to our customers in a timely manner. EPA certification In accordance with 40 CFR 86, Arcimoto successfully completed SAE J2982 Range and MPGe testing, and EPA issued 2019, 2020 and 2021 Model Year Certificate of Conformity for demonstrated compliance as a fully zero emissions, battery-only 3-wheeled electric highway motorcycle. Electromagnetic Compatibility The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is the federal agency responsible for implementing and enforcing the communications law and regulations, including 47 CFR-15, which regulates unlicensed radio-frequency transmissions, both intentional and unintentional. During 2019, Arcimoto demonstrated that the FUV is in compliance with all required electromagnetic compatibility requirements by testing the vehicle and its components at a test facility accredited by the American Association of Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) for automotive, electromagnetic compatibility, information and communication technologies, and medical devices. 6 Motor Vehicle Manufacturer and Dealer Regulation As with helmet laws and driver license requirements, state laws that regulate the manufacture, distribution, and sale of motor vehicles are a patchwork nationwide. Where Arcimoto is allowed by statute to be recognized as a dealer, Arcimoto plans to open its own retail distribution facilities or services. For customers living in states where Arcimoto is prohibited from selling directly from within the state, we plan to consummate sales at facilities in Oregon where the customer can pick up or have a common carrier pick up the vehicle. Arcimoto is registered as a manufacturer and dealer in Oregon, Florida and California. Rental Operations Arcimoto’s approach to in-market experience relies on prospective customers renting Arcimoto vehicles. As such, we plan to open Company-owned sites in select locations and may additionally offer independent franchise rental operations in other locations. State Tax Credits The state of Oregon passed a tax credit qualifying Arcimoto vehicles for a $2,500 tax credit for individuals purchasing qualified electric vehicles and an additional $2,500 tax credit if the purchaser’s annual income is below a certain threshold. Additionally, the Arcimoto FUV qualifies for the California Clean Fuel Reward, offering a $1,500 rebate to California customers at point of sale. We will continue to advocate that state legislatures and regulators include Arcimoto’s affordable, ultra-efficient vehicles in their clean vehicle incentive programs. Federal Tax Credits Arcimoto is part of a coalition of U.S. electric motorcycle manufacturers who are encouraging the federal government to expand the 10% electric motorcycle tax credit to include three-wheeled electric motorcycles as well. Operator’s License and Helmet Requirements State regulations regarding operator licensing and occupant helmet requirements are currently a nationwide patchwork with regard to three-wheeled vehicles. While the strong majority of states have some form of exemption from helmet and motorcycle license requirements for three-wheeled vehicles, the specific wording of each state’s statute may or may not include Arcimoto platform vehicles. For example, in our initial market states of California and Oregon, three wheeled vehicles that are “fully enclosed” or “enclosed cab” are exempt from helmet and motorcycle endorsement requirements. Washington’s helmet law, by contrast, requires compliance with rollover safety regulations and the presence of a steering wheel to exempt riders. Arcimoto’s advocacy strategy is to work with state legislatures to advocate the normalization of these rules to reduce consumer confusion in the marketplace that comes from conflicting state-by-state regulations. Pollution Control Costs We are required to comply with stationary source air pollution, water pollution, and hazardous waste control standards that are now in effect or are scheduled to come into effect with respect to our manufacturing operations. 7 Intellectual Property Patents Our policy is to protect our competitive position by, among other methods, filing patent applications to protect technology and improvements that we consider important to the development of our business. We have generated a number of patents and expect this portfolio to continue to grow as we actively pursue additional technological innovation. As of December 31, 2020, we have ten issued utility patents, including five patents covering novel aspects of the vehicle architecture expiring between 2031 and 2035, three patents covering vehicle battery systems expiring between 2035 and 2038, and two patents covering Arcimoto’s novel dual-motor gearbox design expiring between 2035 and 2037. At present, Arcimoto has an additional patent application undergoing examination that relates to the overall vehicle platform. In addition to this intellectual property, we also rely on our proprietary knowledge and ongoing technological innovation to develop a competitive position in the market for our products. Each of these patents, patent applications, and know-how are integral to the conduct of our business, the loss of any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Trademarks Arcimoto, Inc. owns several trademarks including: “Arcimoto”, the winged “A” logo, “Fun Utility Vehicle”, “FUV”, “Deliverator”, and “Rapid Responder”. The Company has registered or applied for registration of these trademarks within the United States. The trademark “Arcimoto” has been registered in China. Segment Information We operate as one reportable segment which is the design, development, manufacturing, and sales of electric vehicles. Employees As of December 31, 2020, we had 132 full-time employees and one part-time employee. None of our employees are represented by a labor union, and we consider our current relations with our employees to be good. Geographic Areas We operate solely in the United States.

Risk Factors Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Investors should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the financial statements and the related notes, before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock. If any of the following risks were to materialize, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline and investors could lose part or all of their investment in our common stock. LIQUIDITY RISK We may not be able to obtain adequate financing to continue our operations. The design, manufacture, sell and servicing of vehicles is a capital-intensive business. At December 31, 2020, our working capital was approximately $43,589,000, an increase of approximately $39,443,000 from December 31, 2019. We have previously raised funds through equity investment, convertible and non-convertible notes to meet our cash needs, but there is no guarantee that we will be able to raise enough additional capital in the short term to meet our ongoing cash requirements. Our need to raise additional funds to sustain operations and reach our vehicle production goals is dependent on how quickly we can secure financing and reduce the cost of our vehicles. We may raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related, or debt securities or through obtaining credit from government or financial institutions. We cannot assure anyone that we will be able to raise additional funds when needed. We cannot be certain that additional funds will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need them, we will be unable to continue operations. We may not have an adequate number of shares of common stock authorized to enable us to complete future equity financing transactions, which may adversely affect our ability to raise the capital necessary to continue operations. We are authorized to issue 60,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 34,187,555 shares were outstanding on December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2020, we had reserved 4,652,458 shares of common stock for issuance upon exercise of our outstanding options and warrants. In addition, at such date, we had 893,329 shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2018 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, 5,444 shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2015 Stock Incentive Plan, and 1 share of our common stock reserved for future issuance under our Amended and Restated 2012 Employee Stock Benefit Plan. If all of these securities were exercised, the total number of shares of our common stock that we would be required to issue would be 5,551,232, which in addition to the 34,187,555 shares outstanding, would leave 20,261,213 authorized but unissued shares of common stock. We are planning a shareholder resolution at this year’s annual meeting to increase the number of authorized shares. As a result of our limited number of authorized and unissued shares of common stock, we may have insufficient shares of common stock available to issue in connection with any future equity financing transactions we may seek to undertake. Until we increase the number of authorized shares available for issuance, we may not be able to raise additional capital, which may adversely affect our ability to continue operations. OPERATIONAL RISKS Unforeseen or recurring operational problems at our facility, or a catastrophic loss of our manufacturing facility, may cause significant lost or delayed production and adversely affect our results of operations. Our manufacturing process could be affected by operational problems that could impair our production capability and the timeframes within which we expect to produce our vehicles. Our manufacturing facility contains high cost and sophisticated machines that are used in our manufacturing process. Disruptions or shutdowns at our facility could be caused by: ● maintenance outages to conduct maintenance activities that cannot be performed safely during operations; ● prolonged power failures or reductions; 10 ● breakdown, failure or substandard performance of any of our machines or other equipment; ● noncompliance with, and liabilities related to, environmental requirements or permits; ● disruptions in the transportation infrastructure, including railroad tracks, bridges, tunnels or roads; ● pandemics, fires, floods, snow or ice storms, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, microbursts or other catastrophic disasters, national emergencies, political unrest, war or terrorist activities; or ● other operational problems. If our manufacturing facility is compromised or shut down, it may experience prolonged startup periods, regardless of the reason for the compromise or shutdown. Those startup periods could range from several days to several weeks or longer, depending on the reason for the compromise or shutdown and other factors. Any disruption in operations at our facility could cause a significant loss of production, delays in our ability to produce our vehicles and adversely affect our results of operations and negatively impact our customers. Further, a catastrophic event could result in the loss of the use of all or a portion of our manufacturing facility. Although we carry property insurance, our coverage may not be adequate to compensate us for all losses that may occur. Any of these events individually or in the aggregate could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. Unusual or significant litigation, governmental investigations or adverse publicity arising out of alleged defects in our vehicles, or otherwise may derail our business. Although we plan to comply with governmental safety regulations, mobile and stationary source emissions regulations, and other standards, compliance with governmental standards, does not necessarily prevent individual or class action lawsuits, which can entail significant cost and risk. In certain circumstances, courts may permit tort claims even when our vehicles comply with federal law and/or other applicable law. Furthermore, simply responding to actual or threatened litigation or government investigations of our compliance with regulatory standards, whether related to our vehicles or business or commercial relationships, may require significant expenditures of time and other resources. Litigation also is inherently uncertain, and we could experience significant adverse results if litigation is ever brought against us. In addition, adverse publicity surrounding an allegation of a defect, regulatory violation or other matter (with or without corresponding litigation or governmental investigation) may cause significant reputational harm that could have a significant adverse effect on our sales. We may become subject to product liability claims, which could harm our financial condition and liquidity if we are not able to successfully defend or insure against such claims. We may become subject to product liability claims, which could harm our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. The motor vehicle industry experiences significant product liability claims and we face an inherent risk of exposure to claims in the event our vehicles do not perform as expected or malfunction resulting in personal injury or death. A successful product liability claim against us could require us to pay a substantial monetary award. Moreover, a product liability claim could generate substantial negative publicity about our vehicles and business and inhibit or prevent commercialization of other future vehicle candidates, which could have material adverse effect on our brand, business, prospects and operating results. Any lawsuit seeking significant monetary damages either in excess of our liability coverage, or outside of our coverage, may have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business and financial condition. We may not be able to secure product liability insurance coverage on commercially acceptable terms or at reasonable costs when needed, particularly if we do face liability for our products and are forced to make a claim under our policy. 11 Limited intellectual property protection may cause us to lose our competitive advantage and adversely affect our business. We have been granted ten utility patents and have an additional patent application undergoing examination that relates to the overall vehicle platform. This patent application and/or any patent applications we may file in the future may not be successful. To date, we have relied on copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements, to establish and protect intellectual property rights to our technologies and vehicles. We typically enter into confidentiality or license agreements with employees, consultants, consumers and vendors in an effort to control access to and distribution of technology, software, documentation and other information. Policing unauthorized use of this technology is difficult and the steps taken may not prevent misappropriation of the technology. In addition, effective protection may be unavailable or limited in some jurisdictions outside the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce or protect our rights or to determine the validity and scope of the rights of others. Such litigation could cause us to incur substantial costs and divert resources away from daily business, which in turn could materially adversely affect the business. Our failure to obtain or maintain the right to use certain intellectual property may negatively affect our business. Our future success and competitive position depend in part upon our ability to obtain or maintain certain proprietary intellectual property used in our principal products. This may be achieved, in part, by prosecuting claims against others who we believe are infringing our rights and by defending claims of intellectual property infringement brought by others. In the future, we may commence lawsuits against others if we believe they have infringed our rights, or we may become subject to lawsuits alleging that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of others. For example, to the extent that we have previously incorporated third-party technology and/or know-how into certain products for which we do not have sufficient license rights, we could incur substantial litigation costs, be forced to pay substantial damages or royalties, or even be forced to cease sales in the event any owner of such technology or know-how were to challenge our subsequent sale of such products (and any progeny thereof). In addition, to the extent that we discover or have discovered third-party patents that may be applicable to products or processes in development, we may need to take steps to avoid claims of possible infringement, including obtaining non-infringement or invalidity opinions and, when necessary, re-designing or re-engineering products. However, we cannot assure you that these precautions will allow us to successfully avoid infringement claims. Our involvement in intellectual property litigation could result in significant expense to us, adversely affect the development of sales of the challenged product or intellectual property and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel, whether or not such litigation is resolved in our favor. In the event of an adverse outcome in any such litigation, we may, among other things, be required to: ● pay substantial damages; ● cease the development, manufacture, use, sale or importation of products that infringe upon other patented intellectual property; ● expend significant resources to develop or acquire non-infringing intellectual property; ● discontinue processes incorporating infringing technology; or ● obtain licenses to the infringing intellectual property. We depend on our senior management team, and the loss of one or more key employees or an inability to attract and retain highly skilled employees could adversely affect our business. Our success depends largely upon the continued services of our key executive officers and other employees. We also rely on our leadership team in the areas of finance, research and development, marketing, services, and general and administrative functions, and on mission-critical individual contributors in sales and research and development. From time to time, there may be changes in our executive management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives, which could disrupt our business. 12 None of our key employees is bound by an employment agreement for any specific term, with the exception of our Chairman and CEO Mr. Frohnmayer, and we may not be able to successfully attract and retain senior leadership necessary to grow our business. Our future success depends upon our ability to attract and retain executive officers and other key technology, sales, marketing, engineering, manufacturing and support personnel and any failure to do so could adversely impact our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. To continue to execute our growth strategy, we also must attract and retain highly skilled personnel. Competition is intense for salespeople and for engineers with high levels of experience in designing and developing electric vehicles. The pool of qualified personnel with engineering or manufacturing experience and/or experience working with the electric vehicle market is limited overall and specifically in Eugene, Oregon, where our principal office is located. In addition, many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than we have and are located in metropolitan areas that may attract more qualified workers. In addition, in making employment decisions, particularly in high-technology industries, job candidates often consider the value of the equity awards they are to receive in connection with their employment. Volatility in the price of our stock might, therefore, adversely affect our ability to attract or retain highly skilled personnel. Furthermore, the requirement to expense certain stock awards might discourage us from granting the size or type of stock awards that job candidates require to join us. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel, our business and future growth prospects could be severely harmed. The discovery of defects in vehicles resulting in delays in new model launches, recall campaigns, reputational damage, or increased warranty costs may negatively affect our business. Meeting or exceeding many government-mandated safety standards is costly and often technologically challenging. Government safety standards also require manufacturers to remedy defects related to vehicle safety through safety recall campaigns, and a manufacturer is obligated to recall vehicles if it determines that the vehicles do not comply with a safety standard. Should we or government safety regulators determine that a safety or other defect or noncompliance exists with respect to certain of our vehicles prior to the start of production, the launch of such vehicle could be delayed until such defect is remedied. The costs associated with any protracted delay in new product launches necessary to remedy such defects, or the cost of recall campaigns or warranty costs to remedy such defects in vehicles that have been sold, could be substantial. Further, adverse publicity surrounding actual or alleged safety-related or other defects could damage our reputation and adversely affect sales of our vehicles. We are dependent on our suppliers, the majority of which are single source suppliers, and the inability of these suppliers to deliver necessary components of our products in a timely manner at prices, quality levels, and volumes acceptable to us, or our inability to efficiently manage these components, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results. Our products contain numerous purchased parts which we source globally from multiple direct suppliers, the majority of whom are currently single source suppliers. Any significant unanticipated demand or delays with our suppliers could require us to procure additional components in a short amount of time, and in the past we have also replaced certain suppliers because of their failure to provide components that met our quality control standards. There is no assurance that we will be able to secure additional or alternative sources of supply or develop our own replacements for certain highly customized components of our products. If we encounter unexpected difficulties or delays with key suppliers, and if we are unable to fill these needs from other suppliers, we could experience production delays and potential loss of access to important technology and parts for producing, servicing and supporting our products. There is no assurance that suppliers will ultimately be able to meet our cost, quality and volume needs. Furthermore, as the scale of our vehicle production increases, we will need to accurately forecast, purchase, warehouse and transport to our manufacturing facilities components at much higher volumes than we have experience with. If we are unable to accurately match the timing and quantities of component purchases to our actual production plans or capabilities, or successfully implement automation, inventory management and other systems to accommodate the increased complexity in our supply chain, we may have to incur unexpected storage, transportation and write-off costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results. 13 We may be unable to accurately forecast our vehicle delivery needs, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Arcimoto plans to deliver vehicles to Oregon and California via its internal transportation resources, primarily trucks and trailers. During 2020 we reached a point when utilizing a third-party common carrier for vehicle deliveries has become a necessity and we entered an agreement with a carrier. It will be important to accurately forecast vehicle delivery volumes in advance. It will be difficult to predict, especially months in advance, our vehicle delivery volumes and it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Failure to maintain the strength and value of our brand could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our success depends, in part, on the value and strength of our brand. Maintaining, enhancing, promoting and positioning our brand, particularly in new markets where we have limited brand recognition, will depend largely on the success of our marketing and merchandising efforts and our ability to provide high-quality services, warranty plans, products and resources and a consistent, high-quality customer experience. Our brand could be adversely affected if we fail to achieve these objectives, if we fail to comply with laws and regulations, if we are subject to publicized litigation or if our public image or reputation were to be tarnished by negative publicity. Some of these risks may be beyond our ability to control, such as the effects of negative publicity regarding our suppliers or third-party providers of services or negative publicity related to members of management. Any of these events could hurt our image, resulting in reduced demand for our products and a decrease in net sales. Further, maintaining, enhancing, promoting and positioning our brands’ images may require us to make substantial investments in marketing and employee training, which could adversely affect our cash flow and which may ultimately be unsuccessful. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We will be almost entirely dependent upon revenue generated from a limited number of products in the near-term, and our future success will be dependent upon our ability to design and achieve market acceptance of new product offerings and vehicle models. Revenue to date has come mostly from the sale of Fun Utility Vehicles and Deliverators. The Rapid Responder pilot programs are underway, and we expect to deliver production models of those vehicles in the first half of 2021. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sustain revenues from current product offerings, nor design future models of vehicles, or develop future services, that will meet the expectations of our customers, or that our future models will become commercially viable. In addition, historically, automobile customers have come to expect new and improved vehicle models to be introduced frequently. In order to meet these expectations, we may in the future be required to introduce on a regular basis new vehicle models as well as enhanced versions of existing vehicle models. As technologies change in the future for automobiles, we will be expected to upgrade or adapt our vehicles and introduce new models in order to continue to provide vehicles with the latest technology. We have limited experience simultaneously designing, testing, manufacturing and selling vehicles. To date, we have focused our business on the development of a low-cost and high efficiency vehicle and have targeted a relatively narrow consumer group. We will need to address additional markets and expand our customer demographic to further grow our business. Our failure to address additional market opportunities could materially harm our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects. We have experienced in the past, and may experience in the future, significant delays or other complications in the design, manufacture, launch and production ramp of our vehicle, which could harm our brand, business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Having experienced past delays or complications suggests that we may experience future launch, manufacturing and production ramp delays or other complications in connection with our vehicles. For example, we may underestimate the amount of time necessary for regulatory testing and design changes or design changes necessary for automated production like robotic welding which would delay the production of our vehicles. While we continue to make progress resolving such early issues, it is difficult to predict exactly how long it will take for all issues to be cleared or when further issues may arise. Any significant additional delay or other complication in the production of our vehicles or the development, manufacture, launch and production ramp of our future products, including complications associated with expanding our production capacity, supply chain or regulatory approvals, could materially damage our brand, business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. 14 A cybersecurity breach may adversely affect the Company’s reputation, revenue and earnings. The Company and certain of its third-party service providers and vendors receive, store, and transmit digital personal information in connection with the Company’s human resources operations, financial services operations, e-commerce, rental franchise management, mobile applications, planned connected vehicle services offerings and other aspects of its business. The Company’s information systems, and those of its third-party service providers and vendors, are vulnerable to the continually evolving cybersecurity risks. The Company’s plan to offer connected vehicle services will heighten these risks. Unauthorized parties have attempted to and may attempt in the future to gain access to these systems or the information the Company and its third-party service providers and vendors maintain and use through fraud or other means of deceiving our employees and third- party service providers and vendors. Hardware, software or applications the Company develops or obtains from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise information security and/or the Company’s operations. The methods used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service or sabotage systems are constantly evolving and may be difficult to anticipate or detect. The Company has implemented and regularly reviews and updates processes and procedures to protect against unauthorized access to or use of secured data and to prevent data loss. However, the ever-evolving threats mean the Company and third-party service providers and vendors must continually evaluate and adapt systems and processes, and there is no guarantee that they will be adequate to safeguard against all data security breaches or misuses of data. The Company has experienced information security attacks, but to date they have not materially compromised the Company’s computing environment or resulted in a material impact on the Company’s business or operations or the release of confidential information about employees, customers, franchisees, suppliers or other third parties. Any future significant compromise or breach of the Company’s data security, whether external or internal, or misuse of customer, employee, franchisee, supplier or Company data could result in disruption to the Company’s operations, significant costs, lost sales, fines and lawsuits, and/or damage to the Company’s reputation. In addition, as the regulatory environment related to information security, data collection and use, and privacy becomes increasingly rigorous, with new and evolving requirements, compliance could also result in the Company being required to incur additional costs. The Company has mediated its financial exposure by securing cyber liability insurance. REGULATORY RISKS Motor vehicles, like those produced by Arcimoto, are highly regulated and are subject to regulatory changes. We are aware that the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration is reviewing whether to adopt new safety regulations pertaining to three-wheeled motor vehicles. Currently, United States motorcycle regulations apply to such vehicles. New regulations could impact the design of our vehicles and our ability to produce vehicles, possibly negatively affecting our financial results. Additionally, state level regulations are inconsistent with regard to whether a helmet is required to operate an Arcimoto vehicle. Sales may be negatively impacted should any state alter its requirements with regard to customer use of helmets. Increased safety, emissions, fuel economy, or other regulations may result in higher costs, cash expenditures, and/or sales restrictions. The motorized vehicle industry is governed by a substantial amount of government regulation, which often differs by state and region. Government regulation has arisen, and proposals for additional regulation are advanced, primarily out of concern for the environment, vehicle safety, and energy independence. In addition, many governments regulate local product content and/or impose import requirements as a means of creating jobs, protecting domestic producers, and influencing the balance of payments. The cost to comply with existing government regulations is substantial, and future, additional regulations could have a substantial adverse impact on our financial condition. We may be affected by uncertainty over government purchase incentives. Our vehicle cost thesis strongly benefits from purchase incentives at the state and national government levels. The existence or lack of tax incentives will affect the adoption velocity of our products in the marketplace. An inability to take advantage of tax incentives may negatively affect our revenues. 15 MARKET RISKS Economic factors may reduce our customers’ spending, impair our ability to execute our strategies and initiatives, and increase our costs and expenses, which could result in materially decreased sales or profitability. Some of our customers may have fixed or low incomes and limited discretionary spending dollars. Any factor that could adversely affect the disposable income of our customers could decrease their spending on vehicles or cause them to shift their spending to other lower cost vehicles, which could result in materially decreased sales and profitability. Factors that could reduce our customers’ disposable income include but are not limited to high unemployment or underemployment levels or decline in real wages; inflation; higher fuel, energy, healthcare and housing costs, interest rates, consumer debt levels, and tax rates; tax law changes that negatively affect credits and refunds; lack of available credit; and decreases in, or elimination of, government subsidies. Many of the economic factors listed above, as well as commodity rates; transportation, lease and insurance costs; wage rates; changes in applicable laws and regulations; and other economic factors, also could impair our ability to successfully execute our strategies and initiatives, as well as increase our cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses, and may have other adverse consequences that we are unable to fully anticipate or control, all of which may materially decrease our sales or profitability. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has, and is expected to continue to, disrupt and adversely affect our business and results of operations, and the ultimate impacts of the pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments and other factors that are highly uncertain and will be impacted by the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused and will continue to cause significant disruption in the international and United States economies and financial markets and has had an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. The spread of COVID-19 has caused illness and death resulting in quarantines, cancellation of events and travel, business and school shutdowns, reduction in business activity and financial transactions, supply chain interruptions, and overall economic and financial market instability. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the governments of many states have taken preventative or protective actions, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations, advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego their time outside of their homes, and ordering temporary closures of businesses that have been deemed to be non- essential. These restrictions and other consequences of the pandemic have resulted in significant adverse effects for many different types of businesses, including, among others, those in the hospitality (including travel, hotels and lodging) and restaurant industries, and have resulted in a significant number of layoffs and furloughs of employees nationwide. We, like many other manufacturers, shuttered our plant for a period of time to safeguard the health of our employees. As a result, we did not produce vehicles during that time period and such a situation could occur again. Additional sustained shutdowns will harm our revenue and may cause the Company to run out of cash and cease operations altogether. We may experience increases in the cost of or a sustained interruption in the supply or shortage of materials due to the pandemic and government efforts to stop it such as stay-at- home orders. Any such increase, supply interruption or shortage could materially and negatively impact our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. We use various materials in our business including aluminum, steel, lithium, nickel, copper and cobalt, as well as lithium-ion cells from suppliers. The prices for these materials fluctuate, and their available supply may be unstable, depending on market conditions and global demand for these materials. For instance, we are exposed to multiple risks relating to lithium-ion cells. These risks include: ● an increase in the cost, or decrease in the available supply, of materials used in the cells; and ● disruption in the supply of cells due to factory closures and workforce shortages due to effects of COVID-19. As local and national governments impose travel limitations such as the nationwide travel restrictions imposed in the United States and internationally, we may encounter an increased inability to obtain parts for our vehicles. Vendors performing services for us may encounter issues that impact their operations, such as an increase in costs for materials or labor, or a decrease in available employees or contractors. We plan to proactively contact our vendors to inquire about any anticipated risks or difficulties in carrying out agreed-upon services, as well as the vendors’ plans to mitigate such risks or difficulties, in order to anticipate potential delays and to prepare contingency plans. We are also aware of the risk that a vendor could invoke a force majeure clause to cease performance under applicable vendor agreements. All the foregoing issues raise substantial doubt about our ability to accurately forecast our costs, revenue and cash position. Our current planning is based on our best estimates but there is no assurance those estimates will turn out to be accurate. We will explore other methods of funding our business such as grants or strategic partnerships, but we cannot currently assess exactly how the pandemic will affect our costs, revenue and cash position at all levels. 16 Recent political trends in the United States have created new uncertainty regarding the continuation of the ATVMLP. Recent announcements regarding budgeting and appropriations from the federal government have created uncertainty regarding whether the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program (the “ATVMLP”) will continue to exist in its current form. The ATVMLP program provides for low-cost loans that can be used to reequip, expand, or establish manufacturing facilities for advanced technology vehicles in the United States. Although we are in the process of applying there is no guarantee that we would receive such a loan and are not dependent on receiving such a loan. If we do not receive financing under the ATVMLP, we may be required to seek financing from other sources at terms that are not as favorable to us. STRATEGIC RISKS We are an early stage company and have not yet generated significant revenues. We have incurred a net loss in each year since our inception, have twelve years of operating history and have generated limited revenues since inception. Our limited operating history makes evaluating our business and future prospects difficult and may increase the risk of your investment. Arcimoto was founded in 2007, and we have only recently started retail vehicle production and sales. Production and purchasing volumes will need to increase, driving down unit cost, and we will incur additional engineering and tooling cost, in order to reduce vehicle cost before Arcimoto will achieve profitability. We may experience lower-than-anticipated market acceptance of our vehicles. Although we have conducted some market research regarding our electric vehicles and accumulated thousands of pre-order reservation deposits as of December 31, 2020, many factors both within and outside our control, affect the success of new vehicles in the marketplace. At this time, it is difficult to measure consumers’ willingness to adopt electric vehicles as a mode of transportation, particularly three-wheeled electric vehicles. Offering fuel-efficient vehicles that consumers want and value can mitigate the risks of increasing price competition and declining demand, but vehicles that are perceived to be less desirable (whether in terms of price, quality, styling, safety, overall value, or other attributes) can exacerbate these risks. For example, if a new vehicle were to experience quality issues at the time of launch, the vehicle’s perceived quality could be affected even after the issues had been corrected, resulting in lower than anticipated sales volumes, market share, and profitability. Moreover, if a new vehicle is not accepted by consumers based on size, styling, or other attributes, we would experience lower than anticipated sales volumes, market share, and profitability. Our success is dependent upon consumers’ willingness to adopt three-wheeled, tandem-seated two-passenger vehicles. If we cannot develop sufficient market demand for three-wheeled vehicles, we will not be successful. Factors that may influence the acceptance of three-wheeled vehicles include: ● perceptions about three-wheeled vehicles’ comfort, quality, safety, design, performance and cost; ● the availability of alternative fuel vehicles, including plug-in hybrid electric and all-electric vehicles; ● improvements in the fuel economy and cost of service of the internal combustion engine; ● uncertainties regarding insurance coverages for the vehicles; ● the environmental consciousness of consumers; ● volatility in the cost of oil and gasoline; and ● government regulations and economic incentives promoting fuel efficiency and alternate forms of transportation. 17 Customer financing and insuring our vehicles may prove difficult because retail lenders are unfamiliar with our vehicles and the vehicles do not have a loss history in the insurance industry. Retail lenders are unfamiliar with our vehicles and may be hesitant to provide financing to our customers. Our vehicles do not have a loss history in the insurance industry which may cause our customers difficulty in securing insurance coverage. Our distribution model may result in lower sales volumes. Our present distribution model is different from the distribution models used by other vehicle manufacturers, except for Tesla Motors. Like Tesla, we plan to sell vehicles directly to our customers over the internet or via Arcimoto-owned retail stores, rather than through traditional dealer franchises. This direct sales model may result in lower sales due to customer reluctance to rely on web-based vehicle purchasing. We are unable to evaluate the effectiveness of our present distribution model and it may result in lower or higher sales volumes, market share, and profitability. Additionally, we may not be able to sell our vehicles through this sales model in each state in the United States as some states have laws that may be interpreted to impose limitations on the direct-to-consumer sales of our vehicles. The application of these state laws to our operations is difficult to predict. Laws in some states will limit our ability to obtain dealer licenses from state motor vehicle regulators and may continue to do so in the future. In addition, decisions by regulators permitting us to sell vehicles may be subject to challenges by dealer associations and others as to whether such decisions comply with applicable state motor vehicle industry laws. In similar circumstances, Tesla has prevailed in many of these lawsuits and such results reinforce our continuing belief that state laws were not designed to prevent our distribution model. In some states, there have also been regulatory and legislative efforts by vehicle dealer associations to propose bills and regulations that, if enacted, would prevent us from obtaining dealer licenses in their states given our current sales model. A few states have passed legislation that clarifies our ability to operate, but at the same time limits the number of dealer licenses we can obtain or stores that we can operate. Although Tesla and the state of Michigan have settled a lawsuit in federal court allowing Tesla to sell direct into the state, that is no guarantee of the success of similar suits. Internationally, there may be laws of which we are unaware of in jurisdictions we wish to enter that may restrict our sales or other business practices. Even for those jurisdictions we have analyzed, the laws in this area can be complex, difficult to interpret and may change over time. If we are unable to effectively implement or manage our developing growth strategy, our operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. As part of our developing growth strategy, we may modify our distribution channels and engage in strategic transactions with third parties to open rental locations, or open new retail, manufacturing, research or engineering facilities, expand our existing facility, add additional product lines or expand our businesses into new geographical markets. For example, we opened our first customer experience and rental location in Eugene, Oregon in October 2018. We used this location primarily as a test bed for developing rental operations. Rental operations are an untested business model for us. There is a range of risks inherent in such a strategy that could adversely affect our ability to successfully achieve these objectives, including, but not limited to, the following: ● our inability to pay the leasing costs associated with our rental facilities in the near term; ● the potential failure to successfully operate rental locations or integrate a rental vehicle business into our existing infrastructure; ● an inability to attract and retain the customers, employees, suppliers and/or marketing partners of a rental business; 18 ● the uncertainty that we may not be able to generate, anticipate or meet consumer demand; ● the potential disruption of our business; ● the increased scope and complexity of our operations could require significant attention from management and impose constraints on our operations or other projects; ● inconsistencies between our standards, procedures and policies and those of new rental facilities and costs or inefficiencies associated with the integration of our operational and administrative systems if necessary; ● unforeseen expenses, delays or conditions, including the potential for increased regulatory compliance or other third-party approvals or consents, or provisions in contracts with third parties that could limit our flexibility to take certain actions; ● the costs of compliance with local laws and regulations and the implementation of compliance processes, as well as the assumption of unexpected liabilities, litigation, penalties or other enforcement actions; ● the uncertainty that new product lines will generate anticipated sales; ● the uncertainty that new rental or retail businesses will achieve anticipated operating results; ● our cost reduction efforts might not be successful; ● the difficulty of managing the operations of a larger company; and ● the difficulty of competing for growth opportunities with companies having greater financial resources than we have. Any one of these factors could impair our growth strategy, result in delays, increased costs or decreases in the amount of expected revenues derived from our growth strategy and could adversely impact our prospects, business, financial condition or results of operations. Developments and improvements in alternative technologies such as hybrid engine or full electric vehicles or in the internal combustion engine or continued low retail gasoline prices may materially and adversely affect the demand for our three-wheeled vehicles. Significant developments in alternative technologies, such as advanced diesel, ethanol, fuel cells or compressed natural gas, or improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine, may materially and adversely affect our business and prospects in ways that we do not currently anticipate. If alternative energy engines or low gasoline prices make existing four-wheeled vehicles with greater passenger and cargo capacities less expensive to operate, we may not be able to compete with manufacturers of such vehicles. Future disruptive new technologies could have a negative effect on our business. We are subject to the risk of future disruptive technologies. If new vehicle technologies (electric or otherwise) develop that are superior to our vehicles, or are perceived to be superior by consumers, it could have a material adverse effect on us. The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, and we may not be successful in competing in these industries. We currently face competition from new and established domestic and international competitors and expect to face competition from others in the future, including competition from companies with new technology. 19 The worldwide vehicle market, particularly for alternative fuel vehicles, is highly competitive today and we expect it will become even more so in the future. There is no assurance that our vehicles will be successful in the respective markets in which they compete. Many established automobile manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, Daimler, Ford, General Motors, Tesla, Toyota and Volvo, as well as other newer companies such as Elio, Sondors and Electra Meccanica, have entered or are reported to have plans to enter the alternative fuel vehicle market, including hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric vehicles. In some cases, such competitors have announced an intention to produce electric vehicles exclusively now or at some point in the future. Most of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing, vehicle sales networks and other resources than we do and may be able to devote greater resources to the design, development, manufacturing, distribution, promotion, sale and support of their products. Increased competition could result in lower vehicle unit sales, price reductions, revenue shortfalls, loss of customers and loss of market share, which could harm our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Additionally, industry overcapacity has resulted in many manufacturers offering marketing incentives on vehicles in an attempt to maintain and grow market share; these incentives historically have included a combination of subsidized financing or leasing programs, price rebates, and other incentives. As a result, we are not necessarily able to set our prices to offset higher costs. Continuation of or increased excess capacity could have a substantial adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. SPECIFIC RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK Our stock price may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price at which you purchase it. The stock market generally, and our stock in particular, has experienced price and volume fluctuations. As a result of this volatility, you might not be able to sell your common stock at or above the price at which you purchase it. The public market for our stock is new. From our Regulation A Offering on September 21, 2017 through March 26, 2021, the per share trading price of our common stock has been as high as $36.80 and as low as $0.97. It might continue to fluctuate significantly in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include: ● changes to the electric vehicle industry, including demand and regulations; ● our ability to compete successfully against current and future competitors; ● competitive pricing pressures; ● our ability to obtain working capital financing; ● additions or departures of key personnel; ● sales of our common stock; ● our ability to execute our growth strategy; ● operating results that fall below expectations; ● loss of any strategic relationship; ● regulatory developments; and ● economic and other external factors. In addition, the stock market in general has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These fluctuations might be even more pronounced in the new trading market for our stock. Additionally, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the overall market and in the market price of a company’s securities. This litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs, divert our management’s attention and resources, and harm our business, operating results, and financial condition. 20 As a smaller reporting company and as an emerging growth company, we are exempt from certain disclosure requirements, which could make our common stock less attractive to potential investors. We currently and for the foreseeable future expect to be categorized as a “smaller reporting company” and an “emerging growth company” under the U.S. federal securities laws. As a smaller reporting company, we are exempt from certain disclosure requirements under those laws. For example, we are not required and may not include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section in our proxy statements; we provide only two years of financial statements; and are not required to comply with Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes- Oxley Act, which requires our registered public accounting firm to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. As an emerging growth company, there are exemptions from reporting requirements similar to those applicable to a smaller reporting company. These and certain other “scaled” disclosure provisions under SEC rules for smaller reporting companies and emerging growth companies could make our common stock less attractive to potential investors, which could make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares. Because of our status as a smaller reporting company and an emerging growth company, you will not be able to depend on any attestation from our independent registered public accounting firm as to our internal control over financial reporting for the foreseeable future. Our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act until the later of the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the Commission, the date we are no longer an emerging growth company as defined in the JOBS Act or the date that we become an “accelerated filer” under the SEC rules. Accordingly, you will not be able to depend on any attestation concerning our internal control over financial reporting from our independent registered public accounting firm for the foreseeable future. Our shares are thinly traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market and an active market may never develop. There is a very limited trading market for our common stock and we cannot ensure that an active market will ever develop or be sustained. In addition, the price of our common stock may not reflect our actual or perceived value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock in the future. The market liquidity will be dependent on the perception of our operating business, among other things. We may, in the future, take certain steps, including utilizing investor awareness campaigns, press releases, and conferences to increase awareness of our business and any steps that we might take to bring us to the awareness of investors may require we compensate consultants with cash and/or stock. There can be no assurance that there will be any awareness generated or the results of any efforts will result in any impact on our trading volume. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business and trading may be at an inflated price relative to the performance of our company due to, among other things, availability of sellers of our shares. Because there may be a low price for our shares of common stock, many brokerage firms or clearing firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities or accept our shares for deposit in an account. Even if an investor finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in the shares of our common stock, the combination of brokerage commissions, transfer fees, taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. If our shares become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we do not retain our listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market and if the price of our common stock is less than $5.00, our common stock will be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares. 21 We have not paid cash dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock. We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as our board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates. You will experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings. We may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock. Although no assurances can be given that we will consummate a financing, in the event we do, or in the event we sell shares of common stock or other securities convertible into shares of our common stock in the future, additional and substantial dilution will occur. In addition, investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to investors in prior offerings. Subsequent offerings at a lower price, often referred to as a “down round”, could result in additional dilution. Future issuances of debt securities, which would rank senior to our common stock upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future issuances of preferred stock, which would rank senior to our common stock for the purposes of dividends and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the level of return you may be able to achieve from an investment in our common stock. In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by offering debt securities. Upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities, and lenders with respect to other borrowings we may make, would receive distributions of our available assets prior to any distributions being made to holders of our common stock. Moreover, if we issue preferred stock, the holders of such preferred stock could be entitled to preferences over holders of common stock in respect of the payment of dividends and the payment of liquidating distributions. Because our decision to issue debt or preferred securities in any future offering, or borrow money from lenders, will depend in part on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any such future offerings or borrowings. Holders of our common stock must bear the risk that any future offerings we conduct or borrowings we make may adversely affect the level of return they may be able to achieve from an investment in our common stock. Sales by our significant stockholders could have an adverse effect on the market price of our stock. At least one of our stockholders, Mr. Frohnmayer, owns a significant amount of our common stock. If he were to sell all or a portion of his holdings of our common stock, the market price of our common stock could be negatively impacted. The effect of such sales, or of significant portions of our stock being offered or made available for sale, could result in strong downward pressure on our stock price. Investors should be aware that they could experience significant short-term volatility in our stock if such stockholders decide to sell all or a portion of their holdings of our common stock at once or within a short period of time. Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Oregon law might discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control of our company or changes in our management and, therefore, depress the trading price of our common stock. Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Oregon law might discourage, delay, or prevent a merger, acquisition, or other change in control that stockholders consider favorable, including transactions in which you might otherwise receive a premium for your shares of our common stock. These provisions might also prevent or frustrate attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our management. These provisions include: ● limitations on the ability of stockholders to call special meetings; ● the inability of stockholders to cumulate votes at any election of directors; and ● the ability of our board of directors to make, alter or repeal our bylaws. 22 Our board of directors has the ability to designate the terms of and issue new series of preferred stock without stockholder approval. In addition, Section 60.835 and Section 60.840 of the Oregon Revised Statutes prohibits a publicly held Oregon corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder, generally a person which together with its affiliates owns, or within the last three years has owned, 15% or more of our voting stock, at any time within the preceding three-year period, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. The existence of the foregoing provisions and anti-takeover measures could limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. They could also deter potential acquirers of Arcimoto, thereby reducing the likelihood that you could receive a premium for your common stock in an acquisition. GENERAL RISK FACTORS We have not yet finalized our internal controls policies and procedures over financial reporting. We believe our internal controls over financial reporting are robust for our current stage of development. As we ramp up production, we will be developing and implementing new and more robust internal controls over financial reporting which is time consuming, costly, and complicated. These new control policies will include the appropriate amount of overhead to allocate to cost of goods sold. If we identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, if our management is unable to assert, when required, that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to attest, when required, to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our common stock could be negatively affected, and we could become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources. The preparation of our financial statements involves the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions, and our financial statements may be materially affected if such estimates, judgments or assumptions prove to be inaccurate. Financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or “GAAP”, typically require the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Often, different estimates, judgments and assumptions could reasonably be used that would have a material effect on such financial statements, and changes in these estimates, judgments and assumptions may occur from period to period over time. Significant areas of accounting requiring the application of management’s judgment include, but are not limited to, valuation of equity compensation, lower of cost or net realizable value estimates, overhead allocation, warranty reserves, determining the fair value of assets and the timing and amount of cash flows from assets. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain and, if our estimates were to prove to be wrong, we would face the risk that charges to income or other financial statement changes or adjustments would be required. Any such charges or changes could harm our business, including our financial condition and results of operations and the price of our securities. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of the accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements and our business. We may not be able to satisfy listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market to maintain a listing of our common stock. Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market and we must meet certain financial, liquidity and governance criteria to maintain such listing. If we fail to meet any of NASDAQ Capital Market’s listing standards, our common stock may be delisted. In addition, our board of directors may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing. A delisting of our common stock from the NASDAQ Capital Market may materially impair our stockholders’ ability to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our common stock. In addition, the delisting of our common stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital. 23 Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments Not applicable to smaller reporting companies. Item 2.

Selected Financial Data Not required. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, should be read together with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. The following discussion contains “forward-looking statements” that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. We caution that assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future events may, and often do, vary from actual results and the differences can be material. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Overview Arcimoto’s mission is to catalyze the shift to a sustainable transportation system. Since our incorporation, we have been engaged primarily in the design, development, manufacture, sale and rental of ultra-efficient three-wheeled electric vehicles. Arcimoto’s fundamental thesis: there is disconnect between the size and efficiency of a car (~4,000 pounds of material that can carry 5 to 7 people) and how people use cars on a daily basis (1 or 2 passengers driving an average of 30 miles a day with cargo). Arcimoto, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Oregon on November 21, 2007. 2019 was a watershed year for the Company, which saw us complete compliance testing required to produce and sell retail vehicles; outfit the scalable, automated, vertically- integrated Arcimoto Manufacturing Plant for retail production; begin retail production of the Fun Utility Vehicle (FUV); develop our post-production programs including service, support, recall and supplier quality management; and deliver first vehicles to our first rental franchisee in Key West, Florida. We also expanded our product portfolio offering with the announcement of the Rapid Responder and Deliverator platform concepts targeted at fleet verticals. 25 Retail production began on September 19, 2019. In total, Arcimoto produced 57 model year 2019 vehicles, 46 of which were delivered to customers by December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2020, Arcimoto produced 117 model year 2020 vehicles, and delivered 97 vehicles to customers. In March 2020, Arcimoto launched production pilots of the Rapid Responder and Deliverator product lines. In September 2020, the Company on-roaded its fourth product concept, the Cameo. In November 2020, the Company unveiled its fifth product concept, the Arcimoto Roadster prototype. For portions of all four quarters of 2020, Arcimoto’s production operations were suspended in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company restarted limited production and resumed deliveries to customers in the third quarter. The Company’s focus is now squarely on volume production planning in order to push to sustainable profitability and fulfill the thousands of pre-orders in our queue, as well as to meet the demand generated by our pilot fleet vehicles in the field. In December 2020, the Company entered into a purchase agreement for an approximately 220,000 square foot facility, which is scheduled to close on April 19, 2021, to expand production capabilities. The Company is currently preparing an application for the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Loan Program to secure the funds necessary to execute our growth strategy. Management Opportunities, Challenges and Risks Demand, Production and Capital Demand for the Retail Series Arcimoto FUV has continued to increase. As of December 31, 2020, we had 4,717 net FUV pre-orders placed with small refundable deposits or fleet order commitments, representing an increase of 520, or approximately 12%, from the 4,197 pre-orders as of December 31, 2019. We consider pre-orders to be strong sales leads, and use these leads as an indicator of market demand. Pre-orders are made up of small refundable cash deposits from individual retail customers and distribution agreements or nonbinding letters of intent from commercial customers that may or may not have deposited cash. The distribution of pre-orders as of December 31, 2020, is presented in the table below: Vehicles/Deposits Refunds Total net pre-orders Less purchases Remaining Retail Commercial Total Vehicles Dollars Vehicles Dollars Vehicles Dollars 4,508 $ (591) 3,917 (137) 3,780 $ 457,024 (59,100) 397,924 (13,800) 384,124 800 $ - 800 (6) 794 $ 30,000 - 30,000 (10,500) 19,500 5,308 $ (591) 4,717 (143) 4,574 $ 487,024 (59,100) 427,924 (24,300) 403,624 In the third quarter of 2019, we completed vehicle testing. Arcimoto tested to verify robustness of its vehicle design, to demonstrate compliance with all Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards required for motorcycles, and to demonstrate proper function of voluntarily-added equipment such as the FUV’s 3+3 seat belts. Following completion of compliance testing, we initiated the sales process with our first customers. As sales are completed, pre-order and reservation fees are applied to the purchase price and balances due are collected on delivery. We temporarily suspended production in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Though conditions in Lane County worsened over the course of the year, we resumed limited production in the second quarter of 2020, implementing significant safety measures. We resumed customer deliveries in the third quarter of 2020. With limited FUV production through 2020 and now extending into 2021, we are focusing on pilot programs for the Deliverator and Rapid Responder , performing value engineering and planning for volume manufacture to achieve sustainable profitability, applying to the Federal Department of Energy’s Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Loan Program (“ATVMLP”) to finance OEM volume production, engaging sales efforts focused on fleet deployments, building and testing our rental operations, and expanding our service network. The average sales price, including custom upgrade options, for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $22,135, $2,615 or 13.4% above the starting price. We began taking $5,000 non-refundable reservations for the Fun Utility Vehicle in the first quarter of 2019 with a starting price point of $19,900. We secured non-refundable reservations for the first 100 FUVs in anticipation of initial retail production and delivery. In the last week of September 2019, we delivered the first two FUVs. In the third quarter of 2020, we began taking $2,500 non-refundable deposits for the second 100 FUV’s with a starting price point of $17,900. In total, Arcimoto produced 57 model year 2019 FUVs, 46 of which were delivered to customers by December 31, 2019. An additional 97 model year 2019 and 2020 FUVs were delivered to customers during the year ended December 31, 2020. We have contracted with a lean design consultant to evaluate Arcimoto’s manufacturing processes and supply chain management in order to drive down costs and begin high- volume production of Arcimoto ultra-efficient electric vehicles. To date, substantial progress has been made understanding the cost models for future vehicles based on the current supply chain condition, ergo studies, FMEA, baseline ride-drive characteristics, mapping out EU certification, cost down for manufacturing, lean manufacturing analysis and the technology roadmap for future vehicles and marketing roadmap. 26 Arcimoto’s test of the Rapid Responder in a pilot program with the City of Eugene, the Eugene-Springfield Fire Department (ESFD), is scheduled to end on March 31, 2021. We are evaluating upfitters and defining the process for installation of non-compliant accessories such as lights and sirens and we released pricing and availability for the Rapid Responder in the first quarter of 2021. We have several ongoing Deliverator pilot programs with individuals, municipalities, and corporate fleets. We have completed the first phase of tool-up for manufacture and production of the Deliverator, and we will continue to build Deliverators in low volume through the remainder of 2021, with the intent to deliver them to new pilot programs. On September 26, 2020, Arcimoto introduced the beta Configurator, a web tool for selecting vehicle options and visualizing the final configured product. We subsequently opened $2,500 non-refundable reservations for production FUVs through the end of the year to pre-order customers in Washington, California, and Oregon, with a new starting price of $17,900, and many more configurable options than our previous offering. Average sales price as configured for the first 113 reservations is $21,893. On February 4, 2021, the Company closed and completed the Asset Purchase Agreement with Tilting Motor Works, Inc. (“TMW”). The Company believes the TMW product line will continue to flourish under Arcimoto, as we are able to bring considerable marketing and manufacturing efforts to bear, and the underlying technology will be beneficial to future Arcimoto products. Authorized dealer/installers of the TMW products are potential partners for providing product support services to FUV owners in certain areas. Trends in Cash Flow, Capital Expenditures and Operating Expenses In 2019, Arcimoto generated cash flow from retail production vehicle sales for the first time. Cash inflow from vehicle sales has been substantially reduced following the suspension of production due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our capital expenditures for low-volume production are substantially complete. We are bringing the thermo forming of body panels inhouse and ordered approximately $1,741,000 in equipment for this. Approximately $1,150,000 of this amount has been financed at interest rates ranging from 5.56% to 9.0% and terms of 60-72 months. We anticipate a savings of $780 per FUV produced with this automation. We are purchasing a multi-directional rotary brush machine at a total cost of $142,200 to automate the deburr and finishing of metal parts. This was financed at an interest rate of 9.86% and term of 60 months. We are purchasing an additional mill at a total cost of $173,860 to increase parts machining production capacity. This was financed at an interest rate of 4.11% for 60 months. We are purchasing an additional welding cell at a total cost of $286,674 for welding the sides of the upper frame together, and a wire bonding machine at a cost of $211,524 for next generation battery module production. We anticipate securing low interest debt for these equipment purchases. We anticipate a savings of $390 per FUV produced with the welding automation. The Company is preparing an ATVMLP application to finance OEM volume production. Operating expenses decreased by approximately 9%, or $1,191,000, for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. This decrease was due to manufacturing overhead being allocated to cost of goods sold with the start of production in September 2019. The number of employees increased by approximately 40%, from 95 as of December 31, 2019 to 133 employees as of December 31, 2020. The increased staff was needed to build out all parts of the Company for selling and servicing vehicles. New Accounting Pronouncements For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Note 2 to the Financial Statements beginning at page F-1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Disclosure About Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We do not have any outstanding derivative financial instruments, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency forward contracts. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or that engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us. 27 Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience, as appropriate, and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. 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 our management. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected. See Note 2 to our Financial Statements. Inventory Valuation Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is computed using standard cost, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. We record inventory write-downs for excess or obsolete inventories based upon assumptions about current and future demand forecasts. If our inventory on-hand is in excess of our future demand forecast, the excess amounts are reserved to reduce the carrying value to net realizable value. We also review our inventory to determine whether its carrying value exceeds the net amount realizable upon the ultimate sale of the inventory. This requires us to determine the estimated selling price of our vehicles less the estimated cost to convert the inventory on-hand into a finished product. Once inventory is written down, a new, lower cost basis for that inventory is established and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis. Should our estimates of future selling prices or production costs change, additional and potentially material increases to this reserve may be required. A small change in our estimates may result in a material charge to our reported financial results. Warranties We provide a manufacturer’s warranty on all new and used vehicles we sell for the lesser of three years or thirty-six thousand miles. We accrue a warranty reserve for the products sold by us, which includes our best estimate of the projected costs to repair or replace items under warranties and recalls when identified. These estimates are based on actual claims incurred to date and an estimate of the nature, frequency and costs of future claims. These estimates are inherently uncertain given our relatively short history of sales, and changes to our historical or projected warranty experience may cause material changes to the warranty reserve in the future. The warranty reserve does not include projected warranty costs associated with our vehicles subject to operating lease as the costs to repair these warranty claims are expensed as incurred. The portion of the warranty reserve expected to be incurred within the next 12 months is in current portion of warranty reserve, while the remaining balance is in warranty reserve on the consolidated balance sheets. Warranty expense is recorded as a component of cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. Stock-Based Compensation We use the fair value method of accounting for our stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted to employees and for our employee stock purchase plans (the “ESPP”) to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for the stock-based awards. The fair value of stock option awards with only service and/or performance conditions is estimated on the grant or offering date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires inputs such as the risk-free interest rate, expected term and expected volatility. These inputs are subjective and generally require significant judgment. The fair value of RSUs is measured on the grant date based on the closing fair market value of our common stock. The resulting cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the awards, usually the vesting period, which is generally four years for stock options and on issuance for RSUs as these are issued at the end of each quarter for that quarters service. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis, net of actual forfeitures in the period. As we accumulate additional employee stock-based awards data over time and as we incorporate market data related to our common stock, we may calculate significantly different volatilities and expected lives, which could materially impact the valuation of our stock-based awards and the stock-based compensation expense that we will recognize in future periods. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded in cost of revenues, research and development expense and selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. 28 Income Taxes We are subject to taxes in the U.S. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. We make these estimates and judgments about our future taxable income that are based on assumptions that are consistent with our future plans. Tax laws, regulations and administrative practices may be subject to change due to economic or political conditions including fundamental changes to the tax laws applicable to corporate multinationals. The U.S. is actively considering changes in this regard. As of December 31, 2020, we had recorded a full valuation allowance on our net U.S. deferred tax assets because we expect that it is more likely than not that our U.S. deferred tax assets will not be realized. Should the actual amounts differ from our estimates, the amount of our valuation allowance could be materially impacted. Results of Operations Year ended December 31, 2020 versus year ended December 31, 2019 Revenues During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had revenues of approximately $2,176,000 and $988,000, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had revenue from the sale of our vehicles of approximately $2,040,000. We also had revenue of approximately $126,000 from merchandise and outside metal fabrication, and $10,000 from grants during the year ended December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we had revenue from the sale of our vehicles of approximately $891,000, approximately $20,000 of which was with a related party. We also had revenue of approximately $2,000 from parts and service, approximately $45,000 from machining and metal work services, and approximately $50,000 from vehicle delivery charges and merchandise sales during the year ended December 31, 2019. Cost of Goods Sold We had approximately $8,251,000 in cost of goods sold (“COGS”), comprising approximately $4,773,000 in labor and overhead and underutilized factory capacity, $2,615,000 in FUV parts from the sale of our vehicles, approximately $24,000 in leased and used FUV sales cost, approximately $31,000 in FUV delivery cost, approximately $248,000 in service cost and warranty reserves, approximately $10,000 in COGS from merchandise and outside metal fabrication, and $550,000 for lower of cost or market reserves during the year ended December 31, 2020. We had approximately $2,911,000 in COGS for the year ended December 31, 2019 from FUV sales starting at the end of September 2019. Operating Expenses Research and Development Expenses Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist primarily of personnel costs for our pre-production manufacturing, engineering and research teams, external lab testing costs, and prototyping materials expense. R&D expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were approximately $3,011,000 and $6,032,000, respectively. The primary reason for the decrease in R&D expenses of $3,021,000, or 50%, resulted from personnel costs allocated to manufacturing overhead costs, a reduction in pre-production material cost, a reduction in tools and equipment, a reduction in computer and software expense and a reduction in regulatory testing. Sales and Marketing Expenses Sales and marketing (“S&M”) expenses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were approximately $2,239,000 and $1,005,000, respectively. The primary reasons for the increase in sales and marketing expenses during the year ended December 31, 2020 of approximately $1,234,000, or 123%, as compared to the prior period was due to an increase in personnel and public relations, marketing and travel. 29 General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses consist primarily of personnel and facilities costs related to executives, finance, human resources, information technology, as well as legal fees for professional and contract services. G&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 were approximately $6,091,000 as compared to $5,494,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019, representing an increase of approximately $597,000, or 11%. The primary reasons for the increase in the current period was due to the increased cost of being a public company—investor relations, insurance, and professional fees. Interest Expense Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 was approximately $721,000, as compared to $892,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in interest expense was due to paying off all non-equipment financing in June 2020. The interest expense includes amortization of a $300,000 six-month extension fee and $322,924 amortization of OID in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The OID was calculated using the relative fair value method taking into account the net proceeds after offering costs. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company has not achieved positive earnings and operating cash flows to enable the Company to finance its operations internally. Funding for the business to date has come primarily through the issuance of debt and equity securities. The Company may require additional funding to continue to operate in the normal course of business. The substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has been alleviated based on management’s belief that current cash reserves will sustain operations in excess of 12 months. Although the Company’s objective is to increase its revenues from the sales of its products sufficient to generate positive operating and cash flow levels, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in this regard. The Company may need to raise additional capital in order to fund its operations, which if needed, it intends to obtain through debt and/or equity offerings. Funds on hand and any follow-on capital, will be used to invest in our business to expand sales and marketing efforts, including Company- owned and franchise-rental operations and the systems to support them, enhance our current product lines by continuing research and development to enhance and reduce the cost of the FUV and to bring future variants to retail production, continue to build out and optimize our production facility, debt repayment, and fund operations until positive cash flow is achieved. The need for additional capital may be adversely impacted by uncertain market conditions or approval by regulatory bodies. As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately $39,451,000 in cash and cash equivalents, representing an increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $33,619,000 from December 31, 2019. In June 2020 and into early July 2020, we raised approximately $15,473,000 of additional cash net of offering costs. In July 2020, we raised approximately $9,379,000 of additional cash net of offering costs. In November 2020, we raised approximately $28,095,000 of additional cash net of offering costs. We anticipate that our current sources of liquidity, including cash and cash equivalents, together with our current projections of cash flow from operating activities, will provide us with well in excess of 12 months of liquidity. The amount and timing of funds that we may raise is undetermined and could vary based on a number of factors, including our ongoing liquidity needs, our current capitalization, as well as access to current and future sources of liquidity. We continue to raise equity capital into 2021. Since inception we have invested approximately $6,684,000 into tooling and manufacturing capital expenditures for our current FUV production facility. As we ramp up production, we may identify opportunities for reducing cost of goods sold that will require additional capital expenditures. Cash Flows from Operating Activities Our cash flows from operating activities are significantly affected by our cash outflows to support the growth of our business in areas such as R&D, sales and marketing and G&A expenses. Our operating cash flows are also affected by our working capital needs to support personnel related expenditures, accounts payable, inventory purchases and other current assets and liabilities. 30 During the year ended December 31, 2020, cash used in operating activities was approximately $16,294,000, which included a net loss of approximately $18,120,000, non-cash charge related to depreciation and amortization of approximately $930,000, non-cash charge related to the amortization of debt discount of approximately $311,000, non-cash charge related to stock-based compensation of approximately $1,917,000, and changes in accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid inventory, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, customer deposits, warranty reserve and deferred revenue of approximately $1,330,000, of which approximately $1,204,000 relates to inventory. During the year ended December 31, 2019, cash used in operating activities was approximately $14,291,000, which included a net loss of approximately $15,342,000, non-cash charge related to depreciation and amortization of approximately $710,000, non-cash charge related to the amortization of debt discounts of approximately $328,000, non-cash charge related to stock-based compensation of approximately $635,000, non-cash charge related to loss on scrapped Beta FUV finished goods inventory of approximately $147,000, non- cash charge related to the loss on disposal of property and equipment of approximately $710,000 and changes in accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid inventory, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, customer deposits, warranty accrual and deferred revenue of approximately $1,481,000.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we paid approximately $343,000, net of financing, for manufacturing equipment, tooling and FUVs placed into Company service or to be included in our rental fleet. Cash Flows from Financing Activities During the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was $52,815,000, compared to $15,564,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 Statements of Stockholders’ Equity for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 Page F-2 F-3 F-4 F-5 Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 Notes to Financial Statements F-6 F-7 F-1 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Arcimoto, Inc. Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Arcimoto, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. F-2 ARCIMOTO, INC.

(the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Oregon on November 21, 2007. The Company’s mission is to catalyze the global shift to a sustainable transportation system. Over the past 13 years, the Company has developed a new vehicle platform designed around the needs of everyday drivers. Having approximately one-third the weight and one-third of the footprint of the average car, the Arcimoto platform’s purpose is to bring the joy of ultra-efficient, pure electric driving to the masses. To date, the Company has introduced five vehicle products built on this platform that target specific niches in the vehicle market: our flagship product, the Fun Utility Vehicle® (“FUV®”), for everyday consumer trips; the Deliverator® for last-mile delivery and general fleet utility; the Rapid Responder™ for emergency services and security; the Cameo™ for film, sports and influencers; and the Arcimoto Roadster, an unparalleled pure-electric on-road thrill machine. Risks and Uncertainties We started retail production in the third quarter of 2019 at one FUV per build day and ramped to two per build day in the first quarter of 2020 before suspending production in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We restarted production and resumed deliveries to customers in the third quarter of 2020. As a result of the suspension, revenues from 2020 were negatively impacted. Revenues from subsequent quarters may be negatively impacted based on the length and severity of the pandemic. Further, Arcimoto does not have a history of higher-scale production and may encounter delays or inefficiencies in its sales and manufacturing processes, which may prevent or delay achieving higher-scale production within anticipated timeliness. In order to achieve higher-scale production, the Company may need to raise additional capital, and there can be no assurance such capital will be available upon reasonable terms, if at all. Additionally, the Company’s business and operations are sensitive to governmental policies on importation and exportation, as well as the availability of vehicle components from suppliers, which themselves may be impacted by pandemics and such, as well as the ever-shifting general landscape of governmental policy related to cars and motorcycles. The Company’s industry is characterized by rapid changes in technology and customer demands. The Company’s future success will depend on its ability to adapt to technological advances, its nimble reaction to customer demands, its development of well-considered new products and services, and the enhancement of its current products and services on a timely and cost-effective basis. Finally, the Company may not have the capital resources necessary to further the development of existing and/or new products. NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Going Concern Alleviated The Company has incurred significant losses since inception and management expect losses to continue for the foreseeable future. The Company has raised approximately $52 million, net, from financing activities in 2020. The Company had approximately $39,500,000 cash as of December 31, 2020 and raised cash subsequent to year end, which is in excess 12 months of cash requirements. Basis of Presentation The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. F-7 ARCIMOTO, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Fair Value Measurements The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, convertible notes, debt, and capital lease obligations. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments. The estimated fair value is not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange or from future earnings or cash flows. The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard provides a consistent definition of fair value which focuses on an exit price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard also prioritizes, within the measurement of fair value, the use of market-based information over entity specific information and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based on the nature of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements is defined as follows: ● Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; ● Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability other than quoted prices, either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; and ● Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements for current assets and current liabilities approximate the fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturities of the financial instruments. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not have any level 2 or level 3 instruments. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers deposits that can be redeemed on demand and investments that have original maturities of less than three months, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company held its balance of cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions, which, at times, exceeded the federally insured limits. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are reported net of allowance for probable losses. It represents the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Differences between the amount due and the amount management expects to collect are charged to operations in the year in which those differences are determined, with an offsetting entry to a reserve allowance. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company had accounts receivable net of allowance of $17,117 and $244,450, respectively, and a reserve allowance of $0 and $56,841, respectively, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. F-8 ARCIMOTO, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”) or market value. Inventories consist of purchased electric motors, electrical storage and transmission equipment, and component parts. Raw materials Work in progress Finished goods Total December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 $ $ 4,667,780 $ 65,210 371,078 5,104,068 $ 3,650,466 25,340 58,682 3,734,488 The Company is required to remit partial prepayments for some purchases of its inventories acquired from overseas vendors which are included in prepaid inventories. The Company is currently selling vehicles below the base cost of a finished unit. Accordingly, the Company expensed all labor and overhead as period costs, and provided a write- down of $550,000 to report inventories at the lower of cost or market. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The estimated useful lives for significant property and equipment categories are as follows: Computer Equipment and Software Furniture and Fixtures Machinery and Equipment Leasehold Improvements Offering Costs 1 - 3 years 2 - 7 years 5 - 10 years Shorter of useful or lease life The Company accounts for offering costs in accordance with FASB ASC 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs will be capitalized as deferred offering costs on the balance sheet. The deferred offering costs will be charged to stockholders’ equity or as a reduction of debt upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, no offering costs remained capitalized. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, offering costs totaled approximately $3,804,000 and $1,413,000, respectively, which includes the offering costs for the second, third and fourth quarter 2020 equity offerings and the offering costs for the first and fourth quarter 2019 equity offerings, respectively. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company follows FASB ASC 360, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC 360 requires that if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets or asset groups may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the asset’s carrying value to determine if a write-down to market value would be required. Long-lived assets or asset groups that meet the criteria in ASC 360 as being held for sale are reflected at the lower of their carrying amount or fair market value, less costs to sell. Customer Deposits Non-refundable customer deposits are comingled with operating funds. Refundable customer deposits are generally held in a separate deposit account. Revenue is not recognized on customer deposits until the deposit is applied to a non-refundable vehicle order, the vehicle manufacturing process is completed, the vehicle is picked up by or delivered to the customer and the appropriate revenue recognition criteria have been met per our policy below. F-9 ARCIMOTO, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Warranties The Company began recording warranty reserves with the commencement of Retail Series production of the FUV. We provide a warranty on vehicle and production powertrain components as well as battery packs, and we accrue warranty reserves at the time a vehicle or production powertrain component is delivered to the customer. Warranty reserves include management’s best estimate of the projected cost to repair or to replace any items under warranty, based on actual warranty experience as it becomes available and other known factors that may impact our evaluation of historical data. We will review our reserves at least quarterly to ensure that our accruals are adequate in meeting expected future warranty obligations, and we will adjust our estimates as needed. Warranty expense is recorded as a component of cost of revenues in the statement of operations. The portion of the warranty provision which is expected to be incurred within 12 months from the balance sheet date is classified as current, while the remaining amount is classified as long-term liabilities. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenues represent cash collected in advance of the revenues being earned for deliverables to FUV customers, distributor licensing arrangements and franchise fees. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete. This generally occurs when products are picked up by the customer or a common carrier or, when the FUV is shipped in a company owned vehicle, when delivery is completed, in accordance with the sales agreement or purchase order, which is when control of the vehicle passes to the customer. The Company’s shipping terms are generally F.O.B. shipping point, where title is transferred, and revenue is recognized, when the products are shipped to or picked up by customers. Revenues related to distributor licensing arrangements are generally recognized over the term of the agreement, except for specific products and services specified as part of the agreement, for which revenue may be accelerated based on when the earnings process is complete. Distributor and Franchise fee revenue is recognized over the term of the agreements which is generally ten (10) years for franchises and four (4) years for distributors. We have determined that any services provided to our franchise partners are not distinct from the franchise rights granted in the franchise agreement and they are combined into a single performance obligation. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Under the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the option or warrant vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options and common stock warrants. The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update 2018-17 Compensation – Stock Compensation Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting effective January 1, 2020. There was no cumulative-effect adjustment required upon adoption. Prior to January 1, 2020, the Company measured compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under FASB ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non- Employees. The fair value of the award issued or committed to be issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. The fair value is measured at the value of the Company’s common stock and/or the calculated value based on the inputs to the Black-Scholes model on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the equity award is charged directly to stock-based compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are recorded as an expense in the period in which we incur the costs or the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising costs expensed were $71,636 and $21,982 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. F-10 ARCIMOTO, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Research and Development Costs relating to research and development are expensed as incurred. Costs primarily relate to engineering salaries and related benefits and material and equipment costs related to testing, product design and development. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Accordingly, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In the event the Company was to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be credited to income tax expense in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should the Company determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to income tax expense in the period such determination was made. The Company has incurred losses for tax purposes since inception and has significant tax losses and tax credit carry forwards. These amounts are subject to valuation allowances as it is uncertain that they will be realized before they expire. Net Earnings or Loss per Share The Company’s computation of earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as the income (loss) available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., common stock warrants and common stock options) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. Loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective periods. Basic and diluted loss per common share is the same for all periods presented because all common stock warrants and common stock options outstanding were anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company excluded the outstanding Employee Equity Plans (“EEP”) and other securities summarized below using the Treasury Stock Method, which entitled the holders thereof to ultimately acquire shares of common stock, from its calculation of earnings per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Options and other instruments under the 2012, 2015, and 2018 Plans to purchase common stock Underwriters and investors warrants issued outside of an EEP Total Recent Accounting Pronouncements Year ended December 31, 2020 2019 1,438,485 — 1,438,485 1,081,109 97,006 1,178,115 The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequences of the change to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s financial statements properly reflect the change. F-11 ARCIMOTO, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”) which supersedes ASC Topic 840, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on their balance sheets for all the leases with terms greater than 12 months. Based on certain criteria, leases will be classified as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In November 2019, the FASB delayed the effective date for Topic 842 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 for private companies and emerging growth companies, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU No 2020-05 that further delayed the effective date of Topic 842 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. We will adopt this new standard on January 1, 2022. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements” that allows entities to apply the provisions of the new standard at the effective date, as opposed to the earliest period presented under the modified retrospective transition approach and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients primarily focused on leases that commenced before the effective date of Topic 842, including continuing to account for leases that commence before the effective date in accordance with previous guidance, unless the lease is modified. The Company currently expects that most of its operating lease commitments will be subject to the new standard and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon its adoption of Topic 842, which will increase the total assets and total liabilities that the Company reports relative to such amounts prior to adoption. Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 8: STOCK-BASED PAYMENTS The Company grants common stock, common stock units, and common stock purchase options and warrants pursuant to the 2018 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (“2018 Plan”), Amended and Restated 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”) and the Second Amended and Restated 2012 Employee Stock Benefit Plan (“2012 Plan”). The Company measures employee stock-based awards at grant-date fair value and recognizes employee compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. Grants to non-employees are expensed at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instrument is reached and (ii) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. The Company recognizes stock option forfeitures as they occur as there is insufficient historical data to accurately determine future forfeiture rates. Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, and for stock options, the expected life of the option, and expected stock price volatility. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards. The Company uses the following inputs when valuing stock-based awards. The expected life of employee stock options was estimated using the “simplified method,” as the Company has insufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and employment duration for its stock option grants. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. The expected life of awards that vest immediately use the contractual maturity since they are vested when issued. For stock price volatility, the Company uses public company comparables as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of option grants. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected life of the option at the grant-date. Stock-based compensation, including stock options, warrants and stock issued for compensation and services is included in the statements of operations as follows: Research and development Sales and marketing General and administrative Cost of goods sold Total Consulting Agreement with Common Stock Compensation Year ended December 31, 2020 2019 $ $ 274,850 $ 138,976 1,142,232 360,714 1,916,772 $ 176,484 85,042 337,801 35,992 635,319 During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued 60,591 common shares for accounts payable with a fair value of $181,329. The shares were valued based on the stock price at the time of the grant. On August 3, 2020, an annual renewal of an investor relations consulting contract resulted in the issuance of 32,749 shares. The terms of the contract call for the issuance of $100,000 worth of common shares issued at each annual renewal based on the market price at the time of the renewal. In addition to the payment in common shares, this consultant receives cash payments of $7,500 per month and payments for additional services as needed. During the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we paid this investor relations consultant $365,200 and $85,751 respectively, which included significant additional services. 2018 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan The 2018 Plan authorizing 1,000,000 shares was approved by the Board of Directors and the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of shareholders held on June 9, 2018. At the 2019 Annual Meeting, the shareholders approved an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock to be issued under the 2018 Plan. On April 20, 2020, the board of directors approved an increase from 2,000,000 to 4,000,000 shares; at the annual shareholder meeting on June 20, 2020, the increase was approved by a majority of the shareholders. The 2018 Plan provides the Company the ability to grant to employees, directors, consultants or advisors shares of common stock of the Company through the grant of equity awards, including, but not limited to, options that are incentive stock options or NQSOs and restricted stock, provided that only employees are entitled to receive incentive stock options in accordance with IRS guidelines. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had a remaining reserve of 893,329 shares of common stock under the 2018 Plan. Awards that are forfeited generally become available for grant under the 2018 Plan. F-17 ARCIMOTO, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS See below for the range of variables used in assessing the fair value at the grant date for the options issued during the year ended December 31, 2020 under the 2018 Plan: Annual dividend yield Expected life (years) Risk-free interest rate Expected volatility 2020 - 5.5 - 6.0 0.36% - 2.36% 40.3% - 74.9% Employee stock-based compensation expense under the 2018 Plan included in operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $1,803,064 and $461,513, respectively. Total compensation cost related to non-vested awards issued under the 2018 Plan not yet recognized as of December 31, 2020 was approximately $5,054,378 and will be recognized on a straight-line basis through December 2023 based on the respective vesting periods. The amount of future stock option compensation expense could be affected by any future option grants or forfeitures. On January 6, 2020, the board of directors approved a director deferred compensation plan under the 2018 Plan. The deferred compensation plan calls for stock units to be held on account for each director and issued 90 days after separation from service as a director.

(“Ayro”), accusing Ayro of patent infringement in Federal District Court for the Western District of Texas, Waco Division (Case No. 6:20-cv-00176-ADA) (“the Ayro Litigation”). In the Complaint, Arcimoto alleged that Ayro’s 311 two-seater electric vehicles infringe U.S. Patent 8,985,255 (the “255 Patent”). The Complaint asked for monetary damages and enhanced damages due to willful infringement of the 255 Patent by Ayro. On March 27, 2020, Ayro answered the Complaint, denying liability and asserting counterclaims of noninfringement and patent invalidity. During the first quarter of 2021, the parties reached a settlement and submitted a request to the court to dismiss the case. F-20 ARCIMOTO, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 11: INCOME TAXES Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 are summarized below: Deferred tax assets: Share-based compensation expense Inventory reserve Net operating loss carry forward Federal research and development credit Oregon research and development credit Deferred tax liabilities: Property and equipment Total deferred tax asset, net Valuation allowance Net deferred tax asset For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 929,448 $ 151,814 13,607,361 434,503 215,598 400,394 - 9,197,186 425,714 199,272 (307,103) 15,031,621 (15,031,621) — $ (209,930) 10,012,636 (10,012,636) — $ $ In assessing the potential realization of these deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company attaining future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, management was unable to determine if it is more likely than not that the Company’s deferred tax assets will be realized and has therefore recorded an appropriate valuation allowance against deferred tax assets at such dates. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets increased $5,018,985 and $4,098,618 during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. No federal tax provision has been provided for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 due to the losses incurred during such periods. The Company’s effective tax rate is different from the federal statutory rate due primarily to operating losses that receive no tax benefit as a result of a valuation allowance recorded for such losses. Statutory U.S. Federal tax rate State and local income taxes - net of Federal benefit Non-deductible expenses and other Valuation allowance Effective rate tax For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 21% 6.6% 0.1% (27.7)% —% 21.0% 6.6% 0.9% (28.5)% —% As of December 31, 2020, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $49,000,000. Approximately $8,200,000 of the net operating loss carryforwards will expire by 2037. The remainder of the net operating loss carryforwards generated in 2018 and later have indefinite carryforward periods. The Federal R&D tax credits will expire at various dates from 2034 through 2041, and the Oregon R&D tax credits will expire at various dates from 2021 through 2024. The Company has evaluated its income tax positions and has determined that it does not have any uncertain tax positions. The Company policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. The Company may in the future become subject to federal, state and local income taxation though it has not been since its inception. The Company is not presently subject to any income tax audit in any taxing jurisdiction. The Company has identified the United States Federal and Oregon State tax returns as its “major” tax jurisdiction. The United States Federal and Oregon State return years 2016 through 2019 are still subject to tax examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service; however, we do not currently have any ongoing tax examinations.
