By leveraging our valuable network of factory authorized representatives (FAR) and through voucher approvals for the purchase of our vehicles from state incentive programs like the New Jersey Zero Emissions Incentive Program (NJ ZIP), we've been able to drive considerable improvements in our sales numbers, both sequentially and year-over-year, and with finished goods inventory at March 31, 2022 of 24 trucks and 100 vans, we are poised to make more deliveries in the second quarter as well. Additionally, we are excited to announce that due to the overwhelming response to the EVT product we currently have 100 trucks and an additional 100 vans in production. We will start receiving shipments of both the trucks and vans in the second quarter and monthly through the end of the year.

"We've completed the first phase of renovations at our new 580,000 square foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Osceola, Arkansas, and we're now moving forward with the next phase of construction. As we've mentioned previously, with this facility, we are currently one of the only EV companies with manufacturing capabilities in the United States. As the only licensed vehicle manufacturer in the state of Arkansas, we have a unique opportunity to gain an early foothold in the region and benefit from the robust business climate and highly capable workforce thatOsceola has to offer. We are energized by our progress so far, and we remain confident in our ability to effectively scale our business and deliver positive results throughout the balance of 2022."
