Conclusions Sourced In PrivCo's Report:
With $1.3 Billion in venture capital and small private investor money raised and spent in just 5 years, Fisker spent a stunning $660,000 for each vehicle it produced, a vehicle that had a sticker price of $100,000
Fisker sold fewer than 2,200 vehicles in the company's lifetime, a third of which remained unsold
U.S. Department of Energy took no action to enforce an issued "Drawdown Stop Notice" under the "Consequences of Default" provisions of the Fisker DOE Loan and Credit Agreement in June 2011
Fisker Automotive has less than $20 Million in cash on hand
1,200 individual investors were induced to invest a total of $142M in now worthless Fisker stock by a brokerage firm shuttered by S.E.C. for fraudulent sales practices
Fisker's U.S. taxpayer loan and credit line repayment is due Monday, April 22nd in the amount of $20.2 Million
Fisker to file for bankruptcy within days
PrivCo CEO Sam Hamadeh stated, "Fisker Automotive may well go down as the most tragic venture capital-backed debacle in recent history. The sheer scale of investment capital and government loan money -- over $1.3 Billion in all -- was squandered so rapidly and with so little to show for it that the wreckage is breathtaking. Bankruptcy will be the end of Fisker, but for the taxpayers, venture capital firms, individual investors, and Fisker's suppliers, it will all be too little too late."
