CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including statements about the outcome of any legal proceedings to which PCT is, or may become a party, and the financial condition, results of operations, earnings outlook and prospects of PCT. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or PCT’s future financial or operating performance and may refer to projections and forecasts. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “continue,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “would” and other similar words and expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions), but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
The forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of the management of PCT and are inherently subject to uncertainties and changes in circumstances and their potential effects and speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described in the section of PCT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”) entitled “Risk Factors,” those discussed and identified in public filings made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by PCT and the following:
•    PCT's ability to meet, and to continue to meet, applicable regulatory requirements for the use of PCT’s UPR resin (as defined below) in food grade applications (both in the United States and abroad);
•    PCT's ability to comply on an ongoing basis with the numerous regulatory requirements applicable to the UPR resin and PCT’s facilities (both in the United States and abroad);
•    expectations and changes regarding PCT’s strategies and future financial performance, including its future business plans, expansion plans or objectives, prospective performance and opportunities and competitors, revenues, products and services, pricing, operating expenses, market trends, liquidity, cash flows and uses of cash, capital expenditures, and PCT’s ability to invest in growth initiatives;
•    PCT’s ability to scale and build its first commercial-scale recycling facility in Lawrence County, Ohio (the “Ironton Facility”) in a timely and cost-effective manner;
•    PCT’s ability to complete the necessary funding with respect to, and complete the construction of, its first U.S. cluster facility, located in Augusta, Georgia (the “Augusta Facility”), in a timely and cost-effective manner;
•    PCT’s ability to sort and process polypropylene plastic waste at its plastic waste prep (“Feed PreP”) facilities;
•    PCT’s ability to maintain exclusivity under the Procter & Gamble Company (“P&G”) license (as described below);
•    the implementation, market acceptance and success of PCT’s business model and growth strategy;
•    the success or profitability of PCT’s offtake arrangements;
•    the ability to source feedstock with a high polypropylene content;
•    PCT’s future capital requirements and sources and uses of cash;

PureCycle Technologies, Inc.
PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION — CONTINUED
•    PCT’s ability to obtain funding for its operations and future growth;
•    developments and projections relating to PCT’s competitors and industry;
•    the outcome of any legal or regulatory proceedings to which PCT is, or may become, a party including the recently filed securities class action case;
•    the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the previously-announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) consummated on March 17, 2021;
•    unexpected costs related to the Business Combination;
•    geopolitical risk and changes in applicable laws or regulations;
•    the possibility that PCT may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors;
•    turnover or increases in employees and employee-related costs;
•    changes in the prices and availability of labor (including labor shortages), transportation and materials, including significant inflation, and PCT’s ability to obtain them in a timely and cost-effective manner;
•    the potential impact of climate change on the company, including physical and transition risks, higher regulatory and compliance costs, reputational risks, and availability of capital on attractive terms;
•    operational risk; and
•    the risk that the COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19”), including any new and emerging variants and the efficacy and distribution of vaccines, and local, state, federal and international responses to addressing the pandemic may have an adverse effect on PCT’s business operations, as well as PCT’s financial condition and results of operations.

We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of the assumptions made prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Formation and Organization
PureCycle Technologies, Inc. (“PCT” or “Company”) is a Florida-based corporation focused on commercializing a patented purification recycling technology (the “Technology”), originally developed by The Procter & Gamble Company (“P&G”), for restoring waste polypropylene into resin, called ultra-pure recycled (“UPR”) resin, which has nearly identical properties and applicability for reuse as virgin polypropylene. PCT has a global license for the Technology from P&G. PCT’s goal is to create an important new segment of the global polypropylene market that will assist multinational entities in meeting their sustainability goals, providing consumers with polypropylene-based products that are sustainable, and reducing overall polypropylene waste in the world’s landfills and oceans.
Business Combination
On March 17, 2021, PureCycle consummated the previously announced business combination (“Business Combination”) by and among Roth CH Acquisition I Co., a Delaware corporation (“ROCH”), Roth CH Acquisition I Co. Parent Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned direct subsidiary of ROCH (“ParentCo”), Roth CH Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned direct subsidiary of Parent Co, Roth CH Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned direct subsidiary of ParentCo and PureCycle Technologies LLC (“PCT LLC” or “Legacy PCT”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 16, 2020, as amended from time to time (the “Merger Agreement”).
Upon the completion of the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”, and such completion, the “Closing”), ROCH changed its name to PureCycle Technologies Holdings Corp. and became a wholly owned direct subsidiary of ParentCo, PCT LLC became a wholly owned direct subsidiary of PureCycle Technologies Holdings Corp. and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ParentCo, and ParentCo changed its name to PureCycle Technologies, Inc. The Company’s common stock, units and warrants are now listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbols “PCT,” “PCTTU” and “PCTTW,” respectively.
In connection with the Business Combination, ROCH entered into subscription agreements with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”), whereby it issued 25.0 million shares of common stock at $10.00 per share (the “PIPE Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $250.0 million (the “PIPE Financing”), which closed simultaneously with the consummation of the Business Combination. Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, the PIPE Investors were issued shares of the Company’s common stock.

Legacy PCT unitholders will be issued up to 4.0 million additional shares of the Company’s common stock if certain conditions are met (“the Earnout”). The Legacy PCT unitholders will be entitled to 2.0 million shares if after six months after the Closing and prior to or as of the third anniversary of the Closing, the closing price of the common stock is greater than or equal to $18.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period. The Legacy PCT unitholders will be entitled to 2.0 million shares upon the commercial-scale plant in Ironton, Ohio (the “Ohio Phase II Facility”) becoming operational, as certified by Leidos Engineering, LLC (“Leidos”), an independent engineering firm, in accordance with criteria established in agreements in connection with construction of the plant.
In connection with the Business Combination, the Company incurred direct and incremental costs of approximately $27.9 million related to the equity issuance, consisting primarily of investment banking and other professional fees, which were recorded to additional paid-in capital as a reduction of proceeds.
The Company incurred approximately $5.2 million of expenses primarily related to advisory, legal, and accounting fees in conjunction with the Business Combination. Of this, $3.2 million was recorded in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Unless the context otherwise requires, “Registrant,” “PureCycle,” “Company,” “PCT,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to PureCycle Technologies, Inc., and its subsidiaries at and after the Closing and give effect to the Closing. “Legacy PCT”, “ROCH” and “ParentCo” refer to PureCycle Technologies LLC, ROCH and ParentCo, respectively, prior to the Closing.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars. Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements was condensed or omitted for the interim periods presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

balances and transactions were eliminated upon consolidation. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2022. The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the report classifications of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
Potential Impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s Business
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions resulting from the pandemic will continue to impact the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted. The Company has implemented certain policies and procedures to continue its operations in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions resulting from the pandemic.
Liquidity
The Company has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Company has not yet begun commercial operations and does not have any sources of revenue. As of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had an unrestricted cash balance of $198.2 million and $33.4 million, respectively, working capital of $494.0 million and $306.9 million, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of $183.2 million and $157.8 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $25.4 million and $26.1 million, respectively.
Emerging Growth Company
At March 31, 2022, we qualified as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and we have taken and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have opted to take advantage of such extended transition period available to emerging growth companies which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

Immaterial Corrections Related to Prior Periods
We have identified immaterial corrections to prior periods related to capitalization of interest associated with the tax-exempt revenue bonds. We evaluated the effects of these corrections on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 individually and in the aggregate, in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, ASC Topic 250-10-S99-1, Assessing Materiality, and ASC Topic 250-10-S99-2, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. We have concluded that no period is materially

misstated. Accordingly, we have reflected the prior period impacts and associated revisions for these periods presented herein. The revision increased property, plant and equipment, net and decreased interest expense by $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at date of inception to be cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance represents cash and money market funds deposited with financial institutions, as well as commercial paper with maturities of 90 days or less at acquisition. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance represents cash and money market funds deposited with financial institutions. These balances may exceed federally insured limits; however, the Company believes the risk of loss is low.
Investments

The Company accounts for its investment in Debt Securities in accordance with ASC 320, Investments – Debt Securities. The fair value for fixed-rate debt securities is based on quoted market prices for the same or similar debt instruments and is classified as Level 2. All investment holdings as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 have been classified as Available for Sale. The Company classifies its Debt Securities investments as current assets as they are highly liquid and the related funds are available for use in current operations.

Income Taxes
To calculate the interim tax provision, at the end of each interim period the Company estimates the annual effective tax rate and applies that to its ordinary quarterly earnings. The effect of changes in the enacted tax laws or rates is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and judgments including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in other jurisdictions, permanent differences between book and tax amounts, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained, or the tax environment changes.
Furthermore, in December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). The new guidance affects general principles within Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments of ASU 2019-12 are meant to simplify and reduce the cost of accounting for income taxes. The Company adopted the ASU during the first quarter of 2021 using a prospective approach. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Warrants
The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued warrants, to determine if such instruments are liability classified, pursuant to ASC 480 - Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) or derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives pursuant to ASC 815 – Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The classification of instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Issuance costs incurred with the Business Combination that are attributable to liability classified warrants are expensed as incurred.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. In July 2018, ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, was issued to provide more detailed guidance and additional clarification for implementing ASU 2016-02. Furthermore, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method in addition to the existing modified retrospective transition method by

allowing a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Furthermore, on June 3, 2020, the FASB deferred by one year the effective date of the new leases standard for private companies, private not-for-profits (“NFPs”) and public NFPs that have not yet issued (or made available for issuance) financial statements reflecting the new standard. The Company adopted Topic 842 and applicable technical updates as of January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective transition method. See Note 14 for further details.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which, together with subsequent amendments, amends the requirement on the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on the Company's financial statements and does not expect it to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – NOTES PAYABLE AND DEBT INSTRUMENTS
Convertible Notes
On October 6, 2020, Legacy PCT entered into a Senior Notes Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with certain investors. The Agreement provides for the issuance of Senior Convertible Notes (the “Notes” or “Convertible Notes”), which have an interest rate of 5.875% and mature on October 15, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”). The initial closing took place on the date of the Indenture on October 7, 2020 (the “First Closing”), upon which $48.0 million in aggregate principal of Notes were issued to the Investors (“the Magnetar Investors”). The Agreement also includes an obligation for the Company to issue and sell, and for each of the Magnetar Investors to purchase, Notes in the principal amount of $12.0 million within 45 days after the Company enters into the Merger Agreement as defined in Note 1 (“Second Closing Obligation”). On December 29, 2020, the remaining Notes were purchased in accordance with the Agreement. The first and second interest payments of $1.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively, were due on April 15, 2021 and October 15, 2021, respectively, and were paid entirely in kind, which increased the principal amount of the Notes by $3.5 million (“PIK Interest”). The Notes were convertible through the Maturity Date at the option of the holder. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the entire $63.5 million principal balance of the Notes was converted into 9.2 million shares of common stock. The conversion increased common stock and Additional paid-in capital by $61.8 million, which represents the converted principal $63.5 million and forfeited interest of $0.1 million, offset by remaining capitalized issuance costs of $1.8 million.
The following provides a summary of the interest expense of PCT’s convertible debt instruments (in thousands):

Revenue Bonds
On October 7, 2020, the Southern Ohio Port Authority (“SOPA”) issued certain revenue bonds (“Bonds” or “Revenue Bonds”) pursuant to an Indenture of Trust dated as of October 1, 2020 (“Indenture”), between SOPA and UMB Bank, N.A., as trustee (“Trustee”), and loaned the proceeds from their sale to PureCycle: Ohio LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“PCO”), pursuant to a loan agreement dated as of October 1, 2020 between SOPA and PCO (“Loan Agreement”), to be used to (i) acquire, construct and equip the Ironton Facility; (ii) fund a debt service reserve fund for the Exempt Facility Revenue Bonds (PureCycle Project), Tax-Exempt Series 2020A Bonds (“Series 2020A Bonds”); (iii) finance capitalized interest; and (iv) pay the costs of issuing the Bonds. The Bonds were offered in three series, including (i) Series 2020A Bonds; (ii) Subordinate Exempt Facility Revenue Bonds (PureCycle Project), Tax-Exempt Series 2020B; and (iii) Subordinate Exempt Facility Revenue Bonds (PureCycle Project), Taxable Series 2020C.

The proceeds of the Bonds and certain equity contributions have been placed in various trust funds and non-interest-bearing accounts established and administered by the Trustee under the Indenture. Before each disbursement of amounts in the Project Fund held by the Trustee under the Indenture, PCO is required to submit to the Trustee a requisition for funds to be disbursed outlining the specified purpose of the disbursement and substantiating the expenditure. In addition, 100% of revenue attributable to the production of the Ironton Facility must be deposited into an operating revenue escrow fund held by U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as escrow agent. Funds in the trust accounts and operating revenue escrow account will be disbursed by the Trustee when certain conditions are met, and will be used to pay costs and expenditures related to the development of the Ironton Facility, make required interest and principal payments (including sinking fund redemption amounts) and pay any premium, in certain circumstances required under the Indenture, to redeem the Bonds.
At closing of the Bonds, Legacy PCT contributed $60.0 million in equity and executed a Guaranty of Completion dated as of October 1, 2020 (“Guaranty”) and PureCycle and certain affiliates contributed an additional $40.0 million million in equity upon the Closing of the Business Combination. Under the Guaranty, PureCycle funded a $50.0 million liquidity reserve for the Ironton Facility (“Liquidity Reserve”) and deposited that amount upon the Closing of the Business Combination in an escrow account held by U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as escrow agent. In addition, the Guaranty requires that PureCycle maintain at least $75.0 million of cash on its balance sheet as of July 31, 2021 and $100.0 million of cash on its balance sheet as of January 31, 2022, in each case, including the Liquidity Reserve. The Company met these requirements and continues to maintain that cash balance at March 31, 2022. The Guaranty was amended and restated in May 2021 (“ARG”) to include a requirement, among others, that PureCycle replenish the Liquidity Reserve at the level of $50 million until completion of the Ironton Facility and the payment of all Project costs and until conditions relating to certain supply and offtake agreements have been met. Thereafter, the Liquidity Reserve amount will be reduced as provided in the ARG and PureCycle will not be required to replenish the reduced Liquidity Reserve. When all conditions to reducing the Liquidity Reserve to $25 million have been met, the reduced Liquidity Reserve without the obligation of replenishment will remain in place so long as any Series 2020A Bonds remain outstanding under the Indenture.
The Bonds are recorded within Bonds payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company incurred $4.8 million and $4.8 million of interest cost during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As the Bond proceeds will be used to construct the Company’s property, plant and equipment, the interest costs related to the tax-exempt portion of the Revenue Bonds have been capitalized within Property, Plant and Equipment. The Company capitalized $4.3 million and $4.3 million of interest cost during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Management believes the fair value of the Revenue Bonds is not materially different than the carrying amount.

NOTE 5 - EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
2021 Equity Incentive Plan
On March 17, 2021, our stockholders approved the PureCycle Technologies, Inc. 2021 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”).
The Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance shares, performance units, dividend equivalents, and certain other awards. As of March 31, 2022, approximately 8.28 million shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the Plan.
Restricted Stock Agreements
RSUs issued pursuant to the Plan are time-based and vest over the period defined in each individual grant agreement or upon a change of control event as defined in the Plan. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the shares equal to the fair value of the equity-based compensation awards and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of such awards. The fair value of the awards is equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. The Company has the option to repurchase all vested shares upon a stockholder’s termination of employment or service with the Company.
For RSUs issued prior to approval of the Plan, the Company recognizes compensation expense for the shares equal to the fair value of the equity-based compensation awards and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of such awards. Fair value of the RSUs is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions:
March 31, 2022March 31, 2021
Expected annual dividend yield % %
Expected volatility %49.1 %
Risk-free rate of return %0.1 %
Expected option term (years)00.2
The expected term of the shares granted was determined based on the period of time the shares are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected volatility was based on the Company’s capital structure and volatility of similar entities referred to as guideline companies. In determining similar entities, the Company considered industry, stage of life cycle, size and financial leverage. The dividend yield on the Company’s shares is assumed to be zero as the Company has not historically paid dividends. The fair value of the underlying Company shares for the three months ending March 31, 2021 was determined using an initial public offering scenario.
On December 11, 2021, the Company and Michael Dee entered into a separation agreement (the “Separation Agreement”), which sets forth the terms of his transition and certain benefits he is eligible to receive, including continued vesting of 667.0 thousand RSU awards from his July 8, 2021 RSU Agreement, 50% of which vested on March 17, 2022 with the other 50% vesting upon commissioning of the Company’s first commercial plant. This was accounted for as an equity award modification under ASC 718, which resulted in adjustment of the award value to reflect the fair value at the modification date and acceleration of the recognition schedule to match his remaining service period, which ended on January 15, 2022 (the “Separation Date”).

The Separation Agreement included provisions for accelerated vesting of 613.0 thousand Stock Options previously granted on March 17, 2021, which were scheduled to vest in equal installments on each anniversary date for three years after the date of grant and vested in full at the Separation Date. This was accounted for as an equity award modification under ASC 718, which resulted in adjustment of the award value to reflect the fair value at the modification date and acceleration of the recognition schedule to match his remaining service period, which ends on the Separation Date.

Equity-based compensation cost is recorded within the selling, general and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The Company recorded a benefit of approximately $158 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022 due to fair value adjustments related to modification under the Separation Agreement, and expense of $68 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The weighted average grant-date fair values of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $0 and $11.41, respectively.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Agreements
The shares issued pursuant to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Agreements vest depending on if the performance obligations are met. In general, the performance-based stock units (“Performance PSUs”) will be earned based on achievement of pre-established financial and operational performance objectives and will vest on the date the attainment of such performance objectives as determined by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”), subject to the participant’s continued employment with the

Company. The Company has also issued PSUs that vest if the market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds a defined target during the performance period (“Market PSUs”, together with the Performance PSUs, the “PSUs”).
The Company issued 853 thousand and 0 PSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, the performance-based provision has not been achieved for any of the outstanding performance-based award.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for the Performance PSUs equal to the fair value of the equity-based compensation awards and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of such awards as the Company has concluded the performance condition is probable to be met. The fair value of the awards is equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant.
The Separation Agreement included provisions for continued vesting of 200.0 thousand Market PSU awards from the July 8, 2021 PSU Agreement, which will vest if the market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds a defined target during the performance period. This was accounted for as an equity award modification under ASC 718. As the fair value of the award at the date of modification was less than the grant date fair value and all cost for these awards was recognized prior to the modification, there was no impact related to the modified awards.

NOTE 6 - WARRANTS
RTI Warrants
RTI Global (“RTI”) holds warrants to purchase 971 thousand shares of PCT common stock. RTI can exercise these warrants as of March 17, 2022. The warrants expire on December 31, 2024. The Company determined the warrants are liability classified under ASC 480. Accordingly, the warrants were held at their initial fair value and will be remeasured at fair value at each subsequent reporting date with changes in the fair value presented in the statements of comprehensive loss.

Public Warrants and Private Warrants
The Company has outstanding public and private warrants which entitle each holder to exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Common Stock. Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one whole share of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share at the later of the closing of the Business Combination or one year after ROCH’s initial public offering, provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. The warrants will expire five years after March 17, 2021, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The private warrants are identical to the public warrants, except that the private warrants and the common stock issuable upon exercise of the private warrants were not transferable, assignable or salable until after March 17, 2021, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the private warrants are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial holder or any of its permitted transferees. If the private warrants are held by someone other than the initial holder or its
19

PureCycle Technologies, Inc.
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — CONTINUED
(Unaudited)
permitted transferees, the private warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the public warrants.
The Company may redeem the outstanding warrants in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if and only if the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20-trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. If the Company calls the warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the warrants to do so on a cashless basis. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrant exercise. The public warrants are accounted for as equity classified warrants as they were determined to be indexed to the Company’s stock and meet the requirements for equity classification.
The Company has classified the private warrants as a warrant liability as there is a provision within the warrant agreement that allows for private warrants to be exercised via a cashless exercise while held by the Sponsor and affiliates of the Sponsor, but would not be exercisable at any time on a cashless basis if transferred and held by another investor. Therefore, the Company will classify the private warrants as a liability pursuant to ASC 815 until the private warrants are transferred from the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees.
There were approximately 5.7 million Public Warrants and 0.2 million Private Placement Warrants outstanding at March 31, 2022 and 2021. Refer to Note 11 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments for further information.
Series A Warrants
Upon the closing of the 2022 PIPE Offering, the Company issued approximately 17.9 million Series A Warrants to the 2022 PIPE Investors to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one whole share of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share any time after September 17, 2022 (the “Initial Exercise Date”), provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Common Stock. The warrants will expire on March 17, 2026.
The Company may redeem the outstanding Series A Warrants in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if and only if the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20-trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing after the Series A Warrants become exercisable and ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. If the Company calls the Series A Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the warrants to do so on a cashless basis. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrant exercise.
The agreements governing the Series A Warrants (the “Series A Warrant Agreements”) provide for a Black Scholes value calculation (“Black Scholes Value”) in the event of certain transactions (“Fundamental Transactions”), which includes a floor on volatility utilized in the value calculation at 100% or greater. The Company has determined this provision introduces leverage to the holders of the Series A Warrants that could result in a value that would be greater than the settlement amount of a fixed-for-fixed option on the Company’s own equity shares. Therefore, the Company will classify the Series A Warrants as a liability pursuant to ASC 815.

As of March 31, 2022, there were approximately 17.9 million Series A Warrants outstanding. Refer to Note 11 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments for further information.
NOTE 7 – NET LOSS PER SHARE
The Company follows the two-class method when computing net loss per common share when shares are issued that meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method requires income available to common shareholders for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The two-class method also
20

requires losses for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based on their respective rights if the participating security contractually participates in losses. As holders of participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to fund losses, undistributed net losses are not allocated to nonvested restricted stock for purposes of the loss per share calculation.

License Agreements
On October 16, 2015, Legacy PCT entered into a patent license agreement with P&G (the “Original Patent License Agreement”). Legacy PCT and P&G entered into an Amended and Restated Patent License Agreement on July 28, 2020 (the “Amended and Restated Patent License Agreement”). PCT and P&G entered into a side letter agreement on February 12, 2021 amending certain provisions of the Amended and Restated License Agreement (the “Side Letter Agreement” and, together with the Original Patent License Agreement and the Amended and Restated Patent License Agreement, the “License Agreement”). The License Agreement outlines three phases with specific deliverables for each phase. During Phase 1 of the License Agreement, P&G provided Legacy PCT with up to one full-time employee to assist in the execution of Legacy PCT’s research and development activities. During Phase 2, P&G provided up to two full-time employees to assist in the execution of Legacy PCT’s research and development activities. In April 2019, Legacy PCT elected to enter into Phase 3 of the License Agreement and prepaid a royalty payment in the amount of $2.0 million, which will be reduced against future royalties payable as sales occur. Phase 3 of the License Agreement relates to the commercial manufacture period for the manufacture of the licensed product. This phase includes the construction of the first commercial plant for the manufacture of the licensed product, details on the commercial sales capacity and the pricing of the licensed product to P&G and to third parties. Where the Company has made royalty payments to its product development partners, the Company expenses such payments as incurred unless it has determined that is it probable that such prepaid royalties have future economic benefit to the Company. In such cases prepaid royalties will be reduced as royalties would otherwise be due to the partners. Effective January 1, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with P&G to provide certain research assistance through June 30, 2021. Under the terms of the January agreement, the Company is obligated to pay P&G $0.5 million for such services. Effective July 1, 2021, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with P&G. The agreement will expire effective June 30, 2022. Under the terms of the agreement, we are obligated to pay P&G $0.1 million for certain research assistance.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company is in Phase 3 of the License Agreement and has recorded $2.0 million within prepaid expenses and other non-current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
On November 13, 2019, Legacy PCT entered into a patent sublicense agreement with Impact Recycling Limited (“Impact”) through the term of the patents. The agreement outlines an initial license fee of $2.5 million and royalties on production using the license. In 2020, Legacy PCT paid $890 thousand of the initial license fee, and during the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company paid the remaining $1.6 million of the initial fee. The initial license fee of $2.5 million is recorded in prepaid expenses and other non-current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be ratably amortized over the term of the underlying patent using the straight-line method. In May 2021, the Company began using the technology covered by the Impact agreement and commenced amortization as of this date.
Block and Release Agreement
On June 23, 2020, Legacy PCT entered into a block and release agreement with Total Petrochemicals & Refining S.A./N.V. (“Total”). Upon execution of the agreement, Total made a prepayment consisting of a payment of $5.0 million for future receipt of resin consisting of recycled polypropylene (“recycled PP”). The prepayment was placed in an escrow account until the “release condition” of the Company closing the bond offering and overall capital funding of at least $370.0 million has occurred. After the Company successfully raised the required capital, the $5.0 million was released to the Company in 2021 and recorded as deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Strategic Alliance Agreement
On December 13, 2018, Legacy PCT entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Nestle Ltd. (“Nestle”), which expires on December 31, 2023. Upon execution of the agreement, Nestle committed to provide $1.0 million to fund
22

(Unaudited)
further research and development efforts. The funding provided by Nestle may be convertible, in whole or in part, into a prepaid product purchase arrangement at Nestle’s option, upon the time of product delivery beginning in 2021. Additionally, because the research and development efforts were not successful as of December 31, 2020, up to 50% of the funding may be convertible into a 5-year term loan obligation, payable to Nestle at an interest rate equivalent to the U.S. prime rate. As of the issuance of these statements, Nestlé has not elected to convert any funding into a term loan.

PCT received the funding from Nestle on January 8, 2019. The Company has recorded $1.0 million as a deferred research and development obligation within other non-current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Recognition related to the funding received will be deferred until it is probable that Nestle will not exercise their option. If the prepaid product purchase option is exercised, the obligation will be recognized as an adjustment to the transaction price of future product sales (e.g., net revenue presentation). If the option is not exercised, or in the case of development efforts not being successful, any amounts not converted to a loan obligation will be recognized as a reduction to research and development costs.
NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES
The Company has determined that any net deferred tax assets are not more likely than not to be realized in the future, and a full valuation allowance is required. In addition, the Company has determined that any current forecasted operations would result in federal and state income tax losses which are also not more likely than not to be realized. As a result, for the periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has reported tax expense of $0 and $0, respectively.
Management has evaluated the Company’s tax positions and has determined that the Company has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the respective periods.
NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and sets out a fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Inputs are broadly defined as assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies
Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The inputs into the determination of fair value are based upon the best information in the circumstances and may require significant management judgment or estimation.

Measurement of the Private Warrants

The private warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using a Black-Scholes model. The private warrants are classified as Level 3 and were valued using the following assumptions:
March 31, 2022December 31, 2021
Expected annual dividend yield % %
Expected volatility71.70 %69.50 %
Risk-free rate of return2.42 %1.14 %
Expected option term (years)3.974.22
The expected term of the warrants granted are determined based on the duration of time the warrants are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected volatility was based on the Company’s capital structure and volatility of similar entities referred to as guideline companies. In determining similar entities, the Company considered industry, stage of life cycle, size and financial leverage. The dividend yield on the Company’s warrants is assumed to be zero as the Company has not historically paid dividends. The fair value of the underlying Company shares was determined using the Black-Scholes calculation.
The aggregate values of the private warrants were $0.7 million and $0.9 million on March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company reviews available-for-sale investments for other-than-temporary impairment loss periodically. The Company considers factors such as the duration, severity and the reason for the decline in value, the potential recovery period and our intent to sell. For debt securities, we also consider whether (i) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the debt securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis and (ii) the amortized cost basis cannot be recovered as a result of credit losses. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment losses. All marketable securities with unrealized losses have been in a loss position for less than twelve months, and the Company does not anticipate any material losses upon maturity of these investments. The fair value for fixed-rate debt securities is based on quoted market prices for the same or similar debt instruments and is classified as Level 2. The fair value for the Company's other securities holdings, primarily under commercial paper, equals the carrying value and is classified as Level 2.
NOTE 13 - CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
PCT is subject to legal and regulatory actions that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The assessment as to whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible, and as to whether such loss or a range of such loss is estimable, often involves significant judgment about future events, and the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. Other than as described below, there is no material pending or threatened litigation against PCT that remains outstanding as of March 31, 2022.
Regulatory Investigations
On or around September 30, 2021, the SEC issued an investigative subpoena to PCT’s Chief Executive Officer requesting testimony in connection with a non-public, fact-finding investigation of the Company. The investigation pertains to, among other things, statements made in connection with PCT’s technology, financial projections, key supply agreements, and management. PCT and its Chief Executive Officer intend to cooperate with the SEC’s subpoena and investigation. On April 26, 2022, the Company received correspondence from the SEC notifying the Company that the SEC concluded the SEC’s non-public fact-finding investigation without further action at this time.
Shareholder Securities Litigation
Beginning on or about May 11, 2021, two putative class action complaints were filed against PCT, certain senior members of management and others, asserting violations of federal securities laws under Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaints generally allege that the applicable defendants made false and/or misleading statements in press releases and public filings regarding the Technology, PCT’s business and PCT’s prospects. The first putative class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida by William C. Theodore against PCT and certain senior members of management (the “Theodore Lawsuit”). The second putative class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida by David Tennenbaum against PCT, certain senior members of management and others (the “Tennenbaum Lawsuit” and, together with the Theodore Lawsuit, the “Class Action Lawsuits”). On July 14, 2021, the court granted a motion to consolidate the Class Action Lawsuits and on July 27, 2021, Tennenbaum filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss his complaint without prejudice. On August 5, 2021, the Court entered an order appointing the Mariusz Ciecko and Robert Ciecko as Co-Lead Plaintiffs (“Lead Plaintiffs”) and Pomerantz LLP as Lead Counsel.
On September 27, 2021, the Lead Plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint. The consolidated amended complaint seeks to represent a class of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired PCT’s securities between November 16, 2020, and May 5, 2021, certification of the alleged class, as well as compensatory and punitive damages. The consolidated amended complaint relies on information included in a research report published by Hindenburg Research LLC.
On November 12, 2021, PCT and the individual defendants affiliated with PCT (“PCT Defendants”) and Byron Roth each filed separate motions to dismiss Lead Plaintiffs’ amended complaint. On December 28, 2021, Lead Plaintiffs filed their brief in opposition to the PCT Defendants’ and Byron Roth’s motions to dismiss. On January 18, 2022, the PCT Defendants filed a reply to Lead Plaintiffs’ brief. The PCT Defendants intend to vigorously defend the Class

Action Lawsuits. Given the stage of the litigation, PCT cannot reasonably estimate at this time whether there will be any loss, or if there is a loss, the possible range of loss, that may arise from the unresolved Class Action Lawsuits.
Derivative Litigation
On November 3, 2021, Byung-Gook Han, a purported PCT shareholder, derivatively and purportedly on behalf of PCT, filed a shareholder derivative action in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (Byung-Gook Han v. Otworth et. al., Case No. 1:21-cv-01569-UNA) against certain senior members of PCT’s management, PCT’s directors and Byron Roth, who was subsequently dismissed (collectively, the “Individual Han Defendants”), alleging violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and breaches of fiduciary duties and bringing claims for unjust enrichment and waste of corporate assets (“Han Derivative Suit"). The Han Derivative Suit generally alleges that the Individual Han Defendants made materially false and misleading statements in press releases, webinars and other public filings regarding the Technology, PCT’s business, PCT’s prospects, and the background and experience of the Individual Han Defendants. The Han Derivative Suit seeks unspecified monetary damages, reform of the company's corporate governance and internal procedures, unspecified restitution from the Individual Han Defendants, and costs and fees associated with bringing the action. On January 19, 2022, the court in the Han Derivative Suit granted the parties’ joint stipulation to stay the Han Derivative Suit and administratively closed the matter pending the disposition of the motions to dismiss in the Class Action Lawsuits.
Should the Han Derivative Suit be reopened in the future, the Individual Han Defendants intend to vigorously defend against the Han Derivative Suit. Given the stage of the litigation, PCT cannot reasonably estimate at this time whether there will be any loss, or if there is a loss, the possible range of loss, that may arise from the unresolved Han Derivative Suit.
On January 27, 2022, Patrick Ayers, a purported PCT shareholder, derivatively and purportedly on behalf of PCT, filed a shareholder derivative action in the United States District Court of the District of Delaware, captioned Patrick Ayers v. Otworth et. al., Case No. 1:22-cv-00110, against certain members of PCT’s management, PCT’s directors and others (collectively, the “Individual Ayers Defendants), alleging violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and breaches of fiduciary duties, as well as claims for unjust enrichment, gross mismanagement, contribution, and indemnification (“Ayers Derivative Suit"). The Ayers Derivative Suit generally alleges that the Individual Ayers Defendants made materially false and misleading statements in press releases, webinars and other public filings regarding the Technology, PCT’s business, PCT’s prospects, and the background and experience of the Individual Ayers Defendants. The Ayers Derivative Suit seeks unspecified monetary damages, declaratory relief, unspecified disgorgement and restitution from the Individual Ayers Defendants, and costs and fees associated with bringing the action.
At this stage of the litigation, neither PCT nor the Individual Ayers Defendants have answered Ayers’ complaint, moved to dismiss the complaint, or otherwise responded to the complaint. On March 17, 2022, the court granted the parties’ joint stipulation to stay the Ayers Derivative Suit and administratively closed the matter pending the disposition of the motions to dismiss in the Class Action Lawsuits. The Individual Ayers Defendants intend to vigorously defend against the Ayers Derivative Suit. Given the stage of the litigation, PCT cannot reasonably estimate at this time whether there will be any loss, or if there is a loss, the possible range of loss, that may arise from the unresolved Ayers Derivative Suit.
In the future, PCT may become party to additional legal matters and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. While PCT is unable to predict the outcome of the above or future matters, it does not believe, based upon currently available facts, that the ultimate resolution of any such pending matters will have a material adverse effect on its overall financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
NOTE 14 - LEASES
The Company adopted ASC Topic 842, Leases, as of January 1, 2022 and has applied its transition provisions at the beginning of the period of adoption (i.e. on the effective date), and did not restate comparative periods. Under this transition provision, the Company has applied the legacy guidance under ASC Topic 840, Leases, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented.

PureCycle Technologies, Inc.
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — CONTINUED
(Unaudited)
Under ASC Topic 842, a lease is a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment (i.e., an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company’s contracts determined to be, or contain, a lease include explicitly or implicitly identified assets where the Company has the right to substantially all of the economic benefits of the assets and has the ability to direct how and for what purpose the assets are used during the lease term. Leases are classified as either operating or financing. For operating leases, the Company has recognized a lease liability equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments, and a right of use asset equal to the lease liability, subject to certain adjustments, such as for prepaid rents. The Company used its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that it would have to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The Company determined the incremental borrowing rates for its leases by applying its applicable borrowing rate, with adjustment as appropriate for lease currency and lease term.
Upon adoption, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases in the amount of $12.3 million and $12.7 million, respectively.
The Company enters into contracts to lease real estate, equipment and vehicles. The Company’s most individually significant lease liability relates to a real estate lease with an initial contract lease term of 11 years. The Company’s most significant lease liabilities in aggregate value relate to real estate leases that have initial contract lease terms ranging from 1 to 11 years. Certain leases include renewal, termination or purchase options that were not deemed reasonably assured of exercise under ASC 840. Under ASC Topic 842, the lease term at the lease commencement date is determined based on the non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option, periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option, and periods covered by an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease in which the exercise of the option is controlled by the lessor. The Company considered a number of factors when evaluating whether the options in its lease contracts were reasonably certain of exercise, such as length of time before option exercise, expected value of the leased asset at the end of the initial lease term, importance of the lease to overall operations, costs to negotiate a new lease, and any contractual or economic penalties.
Operating leases result in a straight-line lease expense, while finance leases result in a front-loaded expense pattern. The assets associated with financing leases have been included in property, plant and equipment in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Depreciation on financing lease assets is included in operating costs on the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. The Company does not sublease any of its material leased assets to third parties and the Company is not party to any lease contracts with related parties. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.
ASC Topic 842 includes practical expedient and policy election choices. The Company elected the package of practical expedients available in the standard and as a result, did not reassess the lease classification of existing leases, did not reassess whether existing contracts are or contain leases and did not reassess the initial direct costs associated with existing leases. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient, and so did not re-evaluate lease term for existing leases.
The Company has made an accounting policy election not to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less, including renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised, that also do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that is reasonably certain of exercise. Instead, lease payments for these leases are recognized as lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
ASC Topic 842 includes a number of reassessment and re-measurement requirements for lessees based on certain triggering events or conditions, including whether a contract is or contains a lease, assessment of lease term and purchase options, measurement of lease payments, assessment of lease classification and assessment of the discount rate. The Company reviewed the reassessment and re-measurement requirements and did not identify any events or conditions during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that required a reassessment or re-measurement. In addition, there were no impairment indicators identified during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that required an impairment test for the Company’s right-of-use assets or other long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360-10.

(“PCT” or “Company”) is a Florida-based corporation focused on commercializing a patented purification recycling technology (the “Technology”), originally developed by The Procter & Gamble Company (“P&G”), for restoring waste polypropylene into resin, called ultra-pure recycled (“UPR”) resin, which has nearly identical properties and applicability for reuse as virgin polypropylene. PCT has a global license for the Technology from P&G. PCT’s goal is to create an important new segment of the global polypropylene market that will assist multinational entities in meeting their sustainability goals, providing consumers with polypropylene-based products that are sustainable, and reducing overall polypropylene waste in the world’s landfills and oceans.
PCT’s process includes two steps: Feed Pre-Processing (“Feed PreP”) and the use of PCT’s recycling technology for purification. The Feed PreP step will collect, sort, and prepare polypropylene waste (“feedstock”) for purification. The purification step is a purification recycling process that uses a combination of solvent, temperature, and pressure to return the feedstock to near-virgin condition through a novel configuration of commercially available equipment and unit operations. The purification process puts the plastic through a physical extraction process using super critical fluids that both extract and filter out contaminants and purify the color, opacity, and odor of the plastic without changing the bonds of the polymer. By not altering the chemical makeup of the polymer, the Company is able to use significantly less energy and reduce production costs as compared to virgin resin.
The Ironton Facility
PCT is currently building its first commercial-scale plant in Lawrence County, Ohio (referred to herein as the “Ironton Facility”), which is expected to have UPR resin capacity of approximately 107 million pounds/year when fully operational. The Ironton Facility leverages the existing infrastructure of PCT’s pilot facility known as the Feedstock Evaluation Unit (the “FEU”), which became operational in 2019. Production at the Ironton Facility is expected to commence in late 2022, and the plant is expected to be fully operational in 2023. PCT has secured and contracted all the feedstock and product offtake for this initial plant.
The Ironton Facility’s original budget was $242.1 million, which the $250 million Revenue Bond offering financed. As of March 31, 2022, the remaining capital, allocated from the Revenue Bond funds, was $82.7 million to complete the Ironton Facility. As PCT continues to pursue timely completion of the Ironton Facility, evaluate production improvements, and refine its estimates for plant construction costs, PCT currently anticipates that it will need to spend an additional $55 - $65 million to complete the Ironton Facility. PCT believes these additional costs will de-risk PCT’s commercialization process by allowing it to process higher levels of solids and contaminants in its feedstocks. The additional costs include, among others, the purchase of additional equipment and additional costs related to supply chain issues due to COVID-19.
The Augusta Facility
In July 2021, PCT reached an agreement with The Augusta Economic Development Authority to build its first U.S. cluster facility in Augusta, Georgia (the “Augusta Facility”). PCT expects the approximately 200-acre location to represent the Company’s first “cluster site,” where up to eight production lines are expected to have UPR resin production capacity of approximately 1 billion pounds per year. When fully operational, each purification line at the Augusta Facility is expected to have annual production capacity of approximately 130 million pounds of UPR resin.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — CONTINUED
PureCycle has allocated 40% of the Augusta Facility output to existing customers and expects that additional offtake agreements will close throughout the remainder of the year.
Feedstock Pricing
PCT sees a robust pipeline of demand for its recycled polypropylene and PCT is seeing market acceptance of its new “Feedstock+” pricing model for its UPR resin. The “Feedstock+” pricing model employs a fixed price plus the market cost of feedstock, which is then divided by a set yield-loss, to pass on the cost of feedstock to de-risk PCT’s operating margin volatility.
For the Ironton Facility, PCT’s feedstock price was linked, in part, to changes in the IHS Markit Index, the index for virgin polypropylene, in a price schedule that contained a fixed, collared price around an index price range, which was further adjusted based on the percentage of polypropylene in the feedstock supplied. For the Augusta Facility and future purification facilities, PCT plans to link the feedstock price, in part, to the price of a no. 5 plastic bale of polypropylene as reported by recyclingmarkets.net (“Feedstock Market Pricing”). PCT will procure both feedstock in line with Feedstock Market Pricing as well as low value feedstocks that can be processed by PCT, below Feedstock Market Pricing for the Augusta Facility.
PreP Facilities
In conjunction with the Augusta Facility, PCT also plans to build and operate Feed PreP facilities in locations geographically near the feed sources to optimize PCT’s supply chain economics. PCT will locate its first Feed PreP facility in Winter Garden, Florida, which is expected to be operational in the second half of 2022. Throughout the second half of 2021, PCT developed a feedstock processing system with advanced sorting capabilities that can handle various types of plastics in addition to polypropylene (designated as no. 5 plastic). PCT’s enhanced sorting should allow PCT to process and procure all plastic bales between no. 3 and no. 7. PCT’s new Feed PreP facilities will extract polypropylene and ship it to PCT’s purification lines, while the non-polypropylene feed will be sorted, baled, and subsequently sold on the open market.
Letter of No Objection Submission
On September 10, 2021, after conducting necessary laboratory testing and reviewing results with its consultants over several months, PCT filed for a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) Letter of No Objection (“LNO”), for Conditions of Use A - H. Conditions of Use describe the temperature and duration at which a material should be tested to simulate the way the material is intended to be used. The LNO submission also defines the feedstock sources for the Company’s planned commercial recycling process, and this LNO submission includes curbside post-consumer recycled and food grade post-industrial recycled feedstocks.
The FDA confirmed receipt of the submission on September 13, 2021 and followed up with additional questions and request for clarification in a letter received by PCT on January 7, 2022. In its letter, the FDA took the position that one of the migration calculations was incorrect. PCT responded to the FDA’s questions on February 17, 2022. Consequently, PCT revised its application solely for Conditions of Use C-G based on a review of the revised calculations. PCT is awaiting a determination from the FDA on this revised submission.
Conditions of Use C-G address many consumer product packaging requirements, including applications for hot filled and pasteurized, as well as room temperature, refrigerated and frozen applications. Generally speaking, Conditions of Use A, B and H relate to extreme temperature applications. While awaiting a determination on Conditions of Use C-G, PCT is taking steps to initiate new testing protocols for Conditions of Use A, B and H and intends to pursue an LNO for these Conditions of Use following receipt of satisfactory test results.
Future Expansion
PCT is also planning to expand production capabilities into Asia and Europe and is currently performing site selection activities in Europe and negotiating joint ventures with counterparties in South Korea and Japan for in-country production and sales.

Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
To date, we have not generated any operating revenue. We expect to begin to generate revenue by the end of 2022, which is when we expect the Ironton Facility to become commercially operational.
Operating Costs
Operating expenses to date have consisted mainly of personnel costs (including wages, salaries and benefits) and other costs directly related to operations at the FEU, including rent, depreciation, repairs and maintenance, utilities and supplies. Costs attributable to the design and development of the Ironton Facility are capitalized and, when placed in service, will be depreciated over the useful life of the Ironton Facility, which we expect to be approximately 40 years. We expect our operating costs to increase substantially as we continue to scale operations and increase headcount.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs related to the development of the Technology, the facilities and equipment that will use the Technology to purify recycled polypropylene, and the processes needed to collect, sort, and prepare feedstock for purification. These include mainly personnel costs, third-party consulting costs, and the cost of various recycled waste. We expect our research and development expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we increase investment in feedstock evaluation, including investment in new front-end feedstock mechanical separators to improve feedstock purity and increase the range of feedstocks PCT can process economically. In addition, we are increasing our in-house feedstock analytical capabilities, which will include additional supporting equipment and personnel.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses for our corporate, executive, finance and other administrative functions and professional services, including legal, audit and accounting services. We expect our selling, general, and administrative expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we scale headcount with the growth of our business, and as a result of operating as a public company, including compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, legal, audit, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities, and other administrative and professional services.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — CONTINUED
Operating Costs
The increase was primarily attributable to increased operational consulting costs of $0.7 million, higher rent for operating facilities of $0.5 million, higher employee costs of $0.4 million due primarily to increased headcount, and higher depreciation expense of $0.3 million.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses did not significantly change period over period.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The increase was attributable to increased equity compensation expense of $2.9 million, higher bonus expense of $1.5 million, higher wages and benefits related to increased resources and headcount devoted to development of the Company’s administrative functions of $4.1 million, the increase in D&O and other insurance expense of $0.9 million, increased IT and infrastructure costs of $0.6 million, and the increase in other administrative costs of $0.7 million, offset by lower professional, legal, and public company expenses of $3.6 million due primarily to costs incurred in the first quarter of 2021 related to the Business Combination that were not repeated in first quarter 2022.
Interest Expense
The decrease was primarily attributable to lower interest after full conversion of the Convertible Notes (as defined below) to common stock in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Change in fair value of warrants
The decrease was attributable to a $5.8 million increase in fair value of the Company’s liability-classified warrants in the first quarter of 2022 compared to a $13.6 million increase in first quarter 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have not yet begun commercial operations and we do not have any sources of revenue. We currently expect to commence operations at the Ironton Facility in the fourth quarter of 2022, and begin generating revenue in 2023. Our ongoing operations have, to date, been funded by a combination of equity financing through the issuance of units and debt financing through the issuance of our Convertible Senior Secured Notes due in 2022 (the “Convertible Notes”), and a series of tax-exempt and taxable bonds, (the “Revenue Bonds”), and the Closing of the Business Combination. Additionally, in March of 2022, we consummated an offering pursuant to which we sold to certain investors, in a private placement, an aggregate of 35.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 17.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Series A Warrants”), at a price of $7.00 per Common Stock and one-half of one Series A Warrants, for gross proceeds of approximately $250 million (the “2022 PIPE Offering”). The Company incurred approximately $0.8 million of expenses primarily related to advisory fees in conjunction with the 2022 PIPE Offering.
The following is a summary of the components of our current liquidity. The Debt Securities Available for Sale represent investment holdings in highly liquid debt securities and commercial paper with an average maturity of less than one year. The Restricted Cash is restricted in terms of use primarily based on the Loan Agreement and requires PureCycle: Ohio LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“PCO”) to use the proceeds of the Revenue Bonds exclusively to construct and equip the Ironton Facility, fund a debt service reserve fund for the Series 2020A Bonds,

The Cash, Debt Securities Available for Sale, and Restricted Cash described above are intended to be used for:
Construction of the Ironton Facility;
Augusta Facility initial construction and pre-order of long-lead items;
Design, construction, and investment in multiple Feed PreP facilities;
Design and build of PCT’s overall global digital footprint;
Other general corporate purposes.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including actual construction costs for the Ironton Facility, the construction of the Augusta Facility and others outside the United States, build out of multiple Feed PreP facilities, funding needs to support other business opportunities, and challenges or unforeseen circumstances. For this future growth and investment, we expect to seek additional debt financing from outside sources, which we may not be able to raise on terms favorable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional debt when desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or interests in variable interest entities that would require consolidation. Note that while certain legally binding offtake arrangements have been entered into with customers, these arrangements are not unconditional and definite agreements subject only to customer closing conditions, and do not qualify as off-balance sheet arrangements required for disclosure.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The $3.6 million decrease in net cash used in operating activities for the three months ending March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily attributable to the decrease in transaction and other related payments that were paid as part of the 2021 Business Combination of $13.9 million, decrease of $1.6 million related to the Impact License agreement payment in the first quarter of 2021 that was not repeated in first quarter 2022, $1.2 million related to lower D&O and other insurance premium payments, and $0.2 million of decreases in other operating cash activities, offset by approximately $8.3 million in higher cash payments for employee costs, including $4.7 million cash paid for bonuses in first quarter 2022, as well as the receipt of the $5.0 million Total pre-payment in the first quarter of 2021 that was not present in first quarter 2022.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
The $71.2 million increase in net cash used in investing activities for the three months ending March 31, 2022 related to same period in 2021 was attributable to $98.1 million in purchases of available for sale debt securities and $18.3 million additional capital expenditure payments related to construction of the Company’s operating facilities, offset by $45.2 million in maturities and sales of available for sale debt securities.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
The $45.8 million decrease in net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ending March 31, 2022 related to same period in 2021 was primarily attributable to $298.5 million from the closing of the Business Combination, net of capitalized issuance costs, as well as share repurchase activity of $1.0 million to cover taxes due on employee restricted stock award vesting during the quarter. This decrease was offset by $249.2 million in proceeds from the 2022 PIPE Offering, net of related issuance costs, and a decrease in debt financing costs paid of $4.5 million.
Indebtedness
Revenue Bonds
On October 7, 2020, the Southern Ohio Port Authority (“SOPA”) issued certain revenue bonds (“Revenue Bonds”) and loaned the proceeds from their sale to PureCycle: Ohio LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“PCO”), pursuant to a loan agreement dated as of October 1, 2020 between SOPA and PCO (“Loan Agreement”), to be used to (i) acquire, construct and equip the Ironton Facility (referred to within the Loan Agreement as the “Ohio Phase II Facility”) and the FEU (referred to within the Loan Agreement as the “Phase I Facility”, and together with the Ohio Phase II Facility, the “Project”); (ii) fund a debt service reserve fund for the Series 2020A Bonds; (iii) finance capitalized interest; and (iv) pay the costs of issuing the Revenue Bonds. The Revenue Bonds were offered in three series, including (i) Exempt Facility Revenue Bonds (PureCycle Project), Tax-Exempt Series 2020A (“Series 2020A Bonds”); (ii) Subordinate Exempt Facility Revenue Bonds (PureCycle Project), Tax-Exempt Series 2020B (“Series 2020B Bonds”); and (iii) Subordinate Exempt Facility Revenue Bonds (PureCycle Project), Taxable Series 2020C (“Series 2020C Bonds”).

Convertible Notes
On October 6, 2020, PureCycle Technologies LLC (“Legacy PCT”) entered into a Senior Notes Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with certain investors. The Agreement provides for the issuance of Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes”). During the fourth quarter of 2021, the entire principal balance of the Convertible Notes, which included two interest payments paid entirely in kind, was converted into approximately 9.2 million shares of our common stock.
For further information regarding our debt instruments, see Note 3 (“Notes Payable and Debt Instruments”) to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information we provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, except for the liability that was recognized for issuance of the Series A Warrants (discussed below).
Series A Warrants
Upon closing of the 2022 Pipe Offering, there were approximately 17.9 million outstanding Series A Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, which were determined to be liability classified. Accordingly, the warrants were and will be held at their initial fair value and will be remeasured at fair value at each subsequent reporting date with changes in the fair value presented in the statements of comprehensive loss.
As these warrants have similar redemption features and the same exercise price as the Company’s publicly-traded warrants, the market price of the publicly-traded warrants is utilized to value the Series A Warrants. Future warrant liabilities will increase to the extent that there are increases in the market price of the publicly-traded warrants. If there are any modifications or cancellations, this may impact the warrant liabilities and related expense or benefit recognized. Change in fair value of warrant liabilities is presented as its own line item within the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
For further information regarding PCT’s warrant liabilities, see Note 6 (“Warrants”) to the Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information about recent accounting pronouncements, the timing of their adoption, and our assessment, to the extent we have made one, of their potential impact on our financial condition and our results of operations.
Emerging Growth Company Election
Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, and any such election to not take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable.
PCT is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and has elected to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period for new or revised financial accounting standards. PCT expects to continue to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period, although it may decide to early adopt such new or revised accounting standards to the extent permitted by such standards. This may make it difficult or impossible to compare PCT’s financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or is an emerging growth company that has

chosen not to take advantage of the extended transition period exemptions because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
PCT will remain an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act until the earliest of (a) December 31, 2025, (b) the last date of PCT’s fiscal year in which it had total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, (c) the date on which PCT is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC or (d) the date on which PCT has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the previous three years.
39

PureCycle Technologies, Inc.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Inflation Risk
The primary inflationary factors affecting our operations are labor, materials, and energy costs related to construction of our purification plants and Feed PreP facility. Continued inflationary pressures could affect the global and U.S. economies and could have an adverse impact on our construction costs. While we plan to partially offset inflation and other changes in the costs of construction through our pricing strategies, coupled with more efficient purchasing practices, productivity improvements and greater economies of scale, there can be no assurance that these measures will be successful.
Investments in Debt Securities
Our investment policy is established by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and is reviewed as needed. Pursuant to this investment policy, as of March 31, 2022, all investments were in debt securities and cash and cash equivalents, which are considered to be available-for-sale and are marked-to-market. We do not use any swaps, options, futures or forward contracts to hedge or enhance our investment portfolio. We manage the market risk related to these investments by holding only highly liquid, minimum “A” rated securities. The weighted average maturity of our investment portfolio is 0.5 years.
Commodity Price Risk
The plastics manufacturing industry is extremely price competitive because of the commodity-like nature of virgin polypropylene resin and its correlation to the price of crude oil. The demand for recycled plastics can also fluctuate with the price of crude oil. If crude oil prices materially decline for an extended period, the cost to manufacture our UPR resin may become comparatively higher than the cost to manufacture virgin polypropylene resin. We believe that the current shifting market expectations toward sustainable sourcing of consumer plastics provides some protection from the risk related to fluctuating commodity prices.
Raw Material Price Risk
We will purchase feedstock for our purification process from various sources. While many of the categories of feedstock we source are available from independent suppliers, feedstock containing high levels of polypropylene is subject to fluctuations in price and availability attributable to a number of factors, including general economic conditions, commodity price fluctuations, the demand by competitors and other industries for the same raw materials and the availability of complementary and substitute materials. The profitability of our business also depends on the availability and proximity of these raw materials to our Feed PreP facilities and purification plants. The choice of feedstock to be used at our facilities is determined primarily by the price, availability, and purity of waste polypropylene content. Additionally, the high cost of transportation could favor suppliers located in closer proximity to our facilities. If the quality and polypropylene content of the feedstock is lower, the quality of our UPR resin and efficiencies of our purification process may suffer. Changes in consumer behavior regarding consumption of products utilizing polypropylene, as well as consumer desire for UPR resin could also impact our business. Increases in feedstock and other raw material costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Attempts to hedge against these raw material fluctuations may be insufficient, and our results could be materially impacted if costs of materials increase. We believe our Feedstock+ pricing model, principally applicable to contracts signed for the Augusta Facility, provides certain protection from the risk of increased prices in obtaining and processing raw materials utilized in our purification process.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive and financial officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to management (including the principal executive and financial officers) as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2022 (the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), due to
40

PureCycle Technologies, Inc.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES — CONTINUED
material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, as further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and summarized below:
We did not have sufficient, qualified personnel to determine the appropriate accounting treatment for our complex agreements or transactions that required technical accounting analysis;
Our lack of sufficient personnel also resulted in inadequate segregation of duties in the design and operation of the internal controls over financial reporting;
Our lack of formal processes and controls resulted in an ineffective control environment, which led to an inadequate review of the financial statements and financial reporting;
We did not design and maintain effective controls over certain information technology (“IT”) controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of our financial statements, specifically with respect to user access, to ensure appropriate segregation of duties that adequately restrict user access to financial applications, programs, and data to appropriate company personnel; and
We did not design and maintain effective controls surrounding the completeness and cutoff of expenses and payables, such that certain expenses paid by a related entity on behalf of PCT were not appropriately allocated to us, and certain transactions were recorded in the period when the invoice was received rather than accrued in the period when the activity took place.
Remediation Plans
We have commenced measures to remediate the identified material weaknesses. These measures include:
Adding qualified personnel that have public accounting and/or public company experience in external reporting, technical accounting, and internal controls.
The addition of these new employees, coupled with the existing personnel, have given us the ability to design and operate internal controls over financial reporting with appropriate segregation of duties.
Further, we have designed and implemented formal controls for review procedures, reconciliations, disclosure and financial statement processes, including reviews of material agreements and implementing adequate cut-off procedures for expenses and payables.
We intend to continue to take steps to remediate the material weaknesses described above and further evolve our accounting processes, controls, and reviews. We plan to continue to assess our internal controls and procedures and intend to take further action as necessary or appropriate to address any other matters we identify or are brought to our attention.
We believe we are making progress toward achieving the effectiveness of our internal controls and disclosure controls. The actions that we are taking are subject to ongoing senior management review, as well as audit committee oversight. We will not be able to conclude whether the steps we are taking will fully remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting until we have completed our remediation efforts and subsequent evaluation of their effectiveness. We may also conclude that additional measures may be required to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which may necessitate further action.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We are taking actions to remediate the material weaknesses relating to our internal control over financial reporting, as described above. Except as otherwise described herein, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
