Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization and Line of Business

EVmo, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on June 21, 2016 under the laws of the state of Delaware originally as a limited liability company and subsequently changed to a C corporation. The Company was originally incorporated under the name of YayYo, Inc. and changed its name to Rideshare Rental, Inc. on September 11, 2020. On March 1, 2021, the Company changed its name from Rideshare Rental, Inc. to EVmo, Inc. The accompanying financial statements are retroactively restated to present the Company as a C corporation from June 21, 2016. The Company primarily rents vehicles to drivers for ridesharing Transportation Network Companies (“TNCs”) such as Uber and Lyft as well as drivers in the delivery gig-economy.

Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

Risk and Uncertainties

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic.” In response, numerous states and cities ordered their residents to cease traveling to non-essential jobs and to curtail all unnecessary travel, and similar restrictions were recommended by the federal government. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, which saw the initial rapid spread of COVID-19, rideshare companies were severely and negatively impacted, as demand plummeted. Consequently, the Company experienced a decline in revenue during the first half of 2020, which had a negative impact on its cash flows, but it then saw a positive upward movement in revenue during the second half of 2020, which has continued into the early months of 2021. As of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, several vaccinations for COVID-19 have received emergency-use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration and many of the lockdown restrictions imposed by state and local governments, including those of the markets in which the Company operates, appear to be abating. Still, the pandemic has not yet ended, and there have been multiple waves where infections, hospitalizations, and deaths have sharply increased. The Company therefore cannot predict the ultimate impact that COVID-19 may have on its business this year, and possibly beyond.

Interim financial statements

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, the results of its operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America were omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Distinct Cars, LLC and RideShare Car Rentals, LLC. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is possible that accounting estimates and assumptions may be material to the Company due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment involved.

Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificate of deposits, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

Property and Equipment and Rental Vehicles

Property and Equipment and Rental Vehicles are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of equipment and rental vehicles is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives as follows:

Long-Lived Assets

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review at March 31, 2021, the Company determined that no impairment charge was necessary.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes all of its material revenue from renting its fleet of cars to TNC drivers. Revenue is recognized based on the rental agreements which are generally on a weekly basis. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts with Customers.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value at the grant date and recognize the expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees. There were 1,631,250 warrants and 1,755,000 options outstanding as of March 31, 2021 and 1,631,250 warrants and 716,000 options outstanding as of March 31, 2020.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (unaudited)

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the assumption that all dilutive securities are converted. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.000001 (the “Common Stock”) at the average market price during the period. There were 3,386,250 and 2,347,250 potentially dilutive securities outstanding at March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising costs for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $165,748 and $131,509, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASC 820-10 defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

For certain financial instruments, the carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and current liabilities, including convertible notes payable, each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not identify any liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes which amends ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). This update is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application of ASC 740. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The guidance in this update has various elements, some of which are applied on a prospective basis and others on a retrospective basis with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

EVmo, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (unaudited)

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. For convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain conditions that should be considered in the derivatives scope exception evaluation under Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and clarify the scope and certain requirements under Subtopic 815-40. In addition, ASU 2020-06 improves the guidance related to the disclosures and earnings-per-share (EPS) for convertible instruments and contract in entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Board specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluation the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

Note 3 – Property and Equipment

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, property and equipment consisted of the following:

The aggregate relative fair value of these shares of Common Stock was $119,875 and was recorded as a discount on the note payable and as additional paid in capital. The discount of $119,875 is being amortized over the term of the notes payable. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, $1,789 and $9,953, respectively, was charged to interest expense as amortization of the discounts, with an unamortized balance of $184 at March 31, 2021.

A rollforward of lease obligations from December 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021 is below:

Future payments under lease obligations are as follows:

Note 8 – Operating Lease Obligations

The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company discounts lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate.

The Company leases its corporate office space under an operating lease that expires in 2013. The Company accounts for this lease under the provision of ASC 842 Leases.

Note 11 – Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may become involved in lawsuits and other legal proceedings that arise in the course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and it is not possible to predict the outcome of litigation with total confidence. The Company is currently not aware of any legal proceedings or potential claims against it whose outcome would be likely, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows.

Anthony Davis v. YayYo, Inc., and Ramy El-Batrawi

A typical commercial dispute led to a complaint filed on March 5, 2020, in the LA Superior Court. Plaintiff Anthony Davis (“Davis”) was hired by the Company as its Chief Executive Officer in or about December 2016, although he worked there for only a matter of months. Mr. El-Batrawi, the founder of the Company and a former CEO and director, and was involved, the complaint alleges, in Davis’ hiring and termination. As part of his compensation, Mr. Davis alleges that he expected to receive stock options in the Company. Davis admits that he resigned from his executive officer and director positions, but asserts that he did not receive his stock options (he also included a spurious claim for wage and hour violations). The Company denied liability and has asserted that it has paid Davis all amounts due to him under the contract, while in the fact that Davis failed to exercise his stock options before they expired on December 31, 2018. The Company has filed a demurrer to the complaint which resulted in the plaintiff filing an amended complaint to which we will file a demurrer to be heard on September 8, 2021 in LA Superior Court. The lawsuit entirely lacks merit, and will have no material impact on the company’s business or prospects.

Ivan Rung v. YayYo, Inc., Ramy El-Batrawi, et al., 20STCV27876 and Michael Vanbecelaere v. YayYo, Inc., Ramy El-Batrawi, et al., 20STCV28066 (Vanbecelaere)(hereafter the “State Cases”)

On July 22 and July 23, 2020 two, twin actions (with virtually identical complaints) were filed in the LA Superior Court. The State Case complaints differed only by a few words and the random punctuation mark. Plaintiff Ivan Rung and Michael Vanbecelaere each claimed to have purchased the Company’s stock in the IPO ; they purported to bring a securities class action on behalf of all purchasers of the Company’s stock pursuant to the Registration Statement and Prospectus issued in connection with the Company’s November 14, 2019 IPO. Lifting allegations freely from the FirstFire case complaint, the State Case Complaint is vague about alleged misrepresentation and material omissions, detailing instead a supposed chronology of events leading to the Company’s voluntary decision to delist its stock from NASDAQ following some business setbacks in early 2020. The Company announced in an 8K filed on February10, 2020 that it was voluntarily delisting from NASDAQ. Although YayYo obviously admits that its stock was delisted on NASDAQ, Company has denied liability and asserts that it accurately and completely disclosed all materially adverse facts and occurrences in its Registration Statement, related public filings and other public statements, and the Complaint’s alleged violations of Sections 11 & 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 are baseless. If the mediation is unsuccessful, YayYo intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit as it entirely lacks merit. The litigation is presently stayed

Jason Hamlin v. YayYo, Inc., Ramy El-Batrawi, et al., 20-cv-8235 (SVW) and William Koch v. YayYo, Inc., Ramy El-Batrawi, et al, 20-cv-8591 (SVW)(now consolidate in “In re YayYo Securities Litigation”)

These two copy-cat actions were filed on September 9, 2020 and September18, 2020, respectively, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, both cases as purported class actions. Plaintiffs Jason Hamlin and William Koch each claim to have purchased the Company’s stock “traceable to the IPO” and like plaintiffs Vanbecelaere and Rung in the state court actions, purport to bring a securities class action pursuant to Sections 11 & 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 on behalf of all purchasers of the Company’s stock. The first amended complaint alleges false statements and material omissions of material fact in connection with the Registration Statement and Prospectus issued in connection with the Company’s November 14, 201 9 initial stock offering (IPO). The defendants include directors of the company and the Underwriters to the IPO, Westpark Capital and Aegis Capital Corp. The federal court has consolidated the two matters for all purposes, and an initial status conference has been scheduled and held. As with the Vanbecelaere state court case, the Company denies liability and asserts that it accurately and completely disclosed all materially adverse facts, events and occurrences in its Registration Statement and related public filings, and the complaint’s alleged violations of Sections 11 & 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 are baseless. The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit in federal court. All the securities lawsuits, in both federal and state court, are presently stayed pending the outcome of this mediation.

Konop v. El-Batrawi, 1:20-cv-1379- MN (Filed in Del. District Court)

Finally, on October 12, 2020 another cookie cutter complaint was filed in Delaware District Court, which has now been transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, and assigned as a related case to Judge Wilson who, as noted, has the pending federal securities action assigned to him. Although styled as a “Derivative action” the complaint in Konop is another cut-and-paste job based on the original FirstFire complaint filed in the SDNY. It recites a litany of false allegations of mismanagement by YayYo’s principal, Mr. El-Batrawi and members of the Board of Directors, and purports to sue for damages caused by poor management by the officers and directors. The allegations of the complaint are spurious and no damages can or will be proved at trial.

Uptick Media v. YayYo, Inc., AAA Arbitration pending in New York

Plaintiff a consulting firm based in New York and Miami entered into a “consulting agreement” with the company in 2017 in which Uptick promised to deliver strategic services and other professional services to YayYo in exchange for $5,000 in cash and $100,000 worth of stock. They never provided any consultation or services or advice and the contract was not renewed. Uptick is suing the company for $100,000 in stock claiming breach of contract. The Company has denied liability on the basis of non-performance. This dispute is being arbitrated by AAA in New York.

Note 12 – Settlements

FirstFire Settlement

On February 11, 2021, the Company, entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release (the “Settlement Agreement”) with FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“FirstFire”), relating to a pending action in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York, FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC v. WestPark Capital, Inc. et. al., No. 1:20-cv-03327-LLS. The other parties to the Settlement Agreement are the Company’s co-defendants in the litigation, WestPark Capital, Inc. a Colorado corporation (“WestPark”), Mr. Richard A. Rappaport and Mr. Ramy El-Batrawi, former chief executive officer of the Company.

This litigation was commenced by FirstFire in April 2020 and subsequently amended in December 2020. FirstFire was a subscriber to the Company’s initial public offering of Common Stock, in November 2019 (the “IPO”). It alleged in the Litigation that the Company and the other named defendants had, in connection with the IPO and the registration statement on Form S-1 filed thereto, committed violations of Sections 11, 12(a) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Each of the Company, WestPark, Mr. Rappaport and Mr. El-Batrawi vigorously denied and disputed these allegations.

In consideration of the releases, covenants, terms and conditions set forth in the Settlement Agreement, FirstFire agreed to dismiss the litigation with prejudice, to not file any further litigation relating to the IPO, and to waive and relinquish any and all claims on shares of Common Stock other than as specified in the Settlement Agreement. The Company agreed to sell to FirstFire one hundred fifty thousand (150,000) shares of Common Stock (the “Settlement Shares”), with such shares issued pursuant to the exemption from registration under Rule 506(b) of the Act. The purchase price of the Settlement Shares was $0.066667 per share, or an aggregate of $10,000. Any resale of the Settlement Shares by FirstFire shall be subject to the conditions of Rule 144 of the Act. None of WestPark, Mr. Rappaport or Mr. El-Batrawi contributed to the Settlement Shares or any other consideration under the Settlement Agreement.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through May 14, 2021. The Company has determined there were no subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, except as discussed below.

On April 12, 2021, the Company, entered into a securities purchase agreement with a certain investor in connection with the issuance, as of that same date, of a 12.5% original issue discount convertible promissory note and a Common Stock purchase warrant. The Note has an original principal amount of $2,250,000, with an original issue discount of $250,000. It bears interest at a fixed rate of ten percent (10%), is convertible into shares of Common Stock at a price of $3.00 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Note), and matures on January 12, 2022. The warrant grants the right to purchase 187,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.00, subject to adjustment as set forth therein, and is exercisable at any time within five (5) years of the date of issuance. The Agreement provides that additional warrants, each for 93,750 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $3.00 per share, will be issued by the Company to the Investor on the 12^th day of each month that the Note remains outstanding. Both the Note and the warrant include anti-dilution provisions in which the conversion price of the Note and the exercise price of the warrant will be reduced to equal the conversion or exercise price, as applicable, of any subsequently-issued derivative security to acquire shares of Common Stock, or their equivalent, should that conversion or exercise price be lower than that of the Note or the warrant.

On May 12, 2021, the Company issued another warrant for an additional 93,750 common shares to the same investor pursuant to the terms of the agreement.

Subsequent to March 31, 2021, the Company issued 50,000 shares of Common Stock for the payment of legal fees and issued 193,375 shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of stock options.

You should read such information in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes and “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this report. There also may be other factors that we cannot anticipate or that are not described in this report, generally because we do not currently perceive them to be material. Such factors could cause results to differ materially from our expectations.

Our Corporate History and Background

The Company was formed on June 21, 2016 under the name “YayYo, LLC,” which was converted into a Delaware corporation pursuant to the unanimous written consent of our former manager and members in a transaction intended to be tax-free under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Conversion”). All of YayYo, LLC’s liabilities and assets, including its intellectual property, were automatically transferred to the Company and the Company has assumed ownership of such assets and liabilities. The Company now operates as a “C” corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware. On September 11, 2020, YayYo, Inc. changed its name to Rideshare Rental, Inc. On March 1, 2021, the Company changed its name from Rideshare Rental, Inc. to EVmo, Inc.

The Company is a holding company operating through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Distinct Cars, LLC and Rideshare Car Rentals, LLC.

The Company’s operating business divisions include (i) an online rideshare vehicle booking platform to service the ridesharing economy through Rideshare Car Rentals, i.e. the Rideshare Platform, and (ii) the maintenance of a fleet of standard passenger vehicles to be made commercially available for rent through Distinct Cars. The Company seeks to become the leading provider of a standard rental vehicles to drivers in the ridesharing economy.

On March 16, 2018, we completed an offering under Regulation A+ of the Securities Act, which was qualified by the SEC on March 15, 2017. We sold a total of 365,306 shares of common stock. We received cash proceeds of $1.8 million, net of commissions and other costs associated with the gross offering proceeds or payable by us.

On November 15, 2019, the Company closed its initial public offering of 2,625,000 common shares at $4.00 per share, for gross proceeds, before underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses, of $10.5 million, and the shares became listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “YAYO.”

On February 10, 2020, the Company notified Nasdaq of its intent to voluntarily delist its Common Stock from Nasdaq. In connection therewith, the Company notified Nasdaq of the Company’s intention to file a Form 25 with the SEC on or about February 20, 2020. The Company elected to effect the voluntary delisting of its Common Stock after discussions with Nasdaq’s staff, and based on the determination of the Company’s board of directors that voluntarily delisting the Common Stock from Nasdaq was in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Following delisting from Nasdaq, the Common Stock now trades on the Pink Open Market, still under the trading symbol, “YAYO.”

Impact of COVID-19 on our business

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic.” In response, numerous states and cities ordered their residents to cease traveling to non-essential jobs and to curtail all unnecessary travel, and similar restrictions were recommended by the federal government. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, which saw the initial rapid spread of COVID-19, rideshare companies were severely and negatively impacted, as demand plummeted. Consequently, the Company experienced a decline in revenue during the first half of 2020, which had a negative impact on its cash flows, but it then saw a positive upward movement in revenue during the second half of 2020, which has continued into the early months of 2021. As of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, several vaccinations for COVID-19 have received emergency-use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration and many of the lockdown restrictions imposed by state and local governments, including those of the markets in which the Company operates, appear to be abating. Still, the pandemic has not yet ended, and there have been multiple waves where infections, hospitalizations, and deaths have sharply increased. The Company therefore cannot predict the ultimate impact that COVID-19 may have on its business this year, and possibly beyond.

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Distinct Cars, LLC and RideShare Car Rentals, LLC. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Consolidated Results of Operations—Three Months Ended March 31, 2021, Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

Total Revenues.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $2,294,532, an increase of $546,890 or 31.3% compared to revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 of $1,747,642. The increase is principally due to an increase in our rental fleet. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the average weekly rental income per vehicle placed in service was $404 compared to $249 for the same period in 2020. Our revenues declined in March and April of 2020 due to COVID -19 and began to recover in May and June 2020. Our revenue since June 2020 is back to pre-COVID-19 levels, but there is no assurance that this trend will continue.

Cost of Revenues.

The principal components of costs of revenue are depreciation of the vehicles, vehicle insurance and maintenance.

Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $1,780,903, an increase of $379,612 or 27.1% compared to cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 of $1,401,291. The increase is due to higher depreciation expense and insurance expense due to an increase in fleet size. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 our cost of revenue was 77.6% and 80.2% of our revenue, respectively. The decrease in the cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue is due to higher weekly rental rates.

Selling and Marketing Expenses.

Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $165,748, representing an increase of $34,239 or 26.0% over the three months ended March 31, 2020 of $131,509. The increase is due to an increase in advertising our rentals to gig-economy drivers.

General and Administrative Expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $1,439,101, representing a decrease of $457,105 or 24.1% over the three months ended March 31, 2020 of $1,896,206. The decrease is principally due to lower payroll costs for executive officers and a decrease in stock option expense during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $1,614,349, representing a decrease of $413,366 or 20.4% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020 of $2,027,715. The decrease is due to the reasons described above.

Interest expense and financing cost

Interest and financing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $3,324,943 compared to $79,856 for the three months ended Mach 31, 2020. The increase in interest and financing cost for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was due to the issuance of 825,000 shares of Common Stock to Acuitas Group Holdings, LLC, (“Acuitas”) which is now the Company’s largest shareholder, in connection with a settlement agreement between Acuitas and X, LLC, a company owned by the Company’s former chief executive officer. The board of directors deemed it was in the best interest of the Company to issue the shares to Acuitas. The value of the shares was $3,240,600 which is based on the market price of the Common Stock at the grant date. The $3,240,600 was expensed as financing costs as the dispute underlying the settlement agreement related to an anti-dilution of a prior investment in the Company by Acuitas. 

Gain on Forgiveness of Debt

Gain on forgiveness of debt for the three months March 31, 2021 was $8,000 as compared to $0 for the same period in 2020, as, during the three months ended March 31, 2021, the remaining amount we received under the Paycheck Protection Program of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act was forgiven.

Net Loss

The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $4,417,663, representing an increase of $2,656,443 or 150.8% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020 of $1,761,220. The increase is due to the reasons described above.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Plan of Operations

On November 15, 2019, we closed our initial public offering of Common Stock registered on an S-1 Registration Statement under the Securities Act, which was declared effective on November 13, 2019. We sold a total of 2,625,000 common shares at a price of $4.00 per share. Total gross proceeds from the offering were $10,500,000, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we sold an aggregate of 2,553,571 shares of Common Stock to three investors for cash proceeds of $275,000, of which 125,000 shares was sold to a member of our Board of Directors for cash consideration of $25,000.

On January 8, 2021, we received $500,000 from a convertible note from one of our stockholders. The note is convertible into shares of Common Stock at $0.50 per share. The note was converted into 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock in February 2021.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we sold 100,000 shares of Common Stock to a member of our Board of Directors for cash consideration of $50,000.

Current Assets, Liabilities and Working Capital.

At March 31, 2021, the Company’s current assets totaled $252,787, current liabilities totaled $5,108,475, and working capital was a deficit of $4,855,688. At December 31, 2020, the Company’s current assets totaled $215,990, current liabilities totaled $4,461,560, and working capital was a deficit of $4,245,570.

Regarding current liabilities, the amounts categorized as accounts payable and accrued expenses totaled $1,404,618 and $2,119,003 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, a decrease of $714,385 or 33.7%, due to Common Stock issued for legal settlements that were previously included in accrued expenses.

Since inception, our principal sources of operating funds have been proceeds from equity financings, including the sale of our Common Stock to initial investors known to management and principal shareholders of the Company. We do not expect that our current cash on hand will fund our existing operations and future business growth. We will need to raise additional capital in order execute our business plan and growth goals for at least the next twelve-month period thereafter. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to execute a slower than planned growth path, reduce overhead and scale back its business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operational expansion and growth. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $155,476 in cash. The Company generated $77,212 of cash for operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company is seeking to raise additional capital. If the Company is not successful in raising additional capital it will be forced to significantly scale back its business operations and it growth plans. However, we were able to obtain two loans totaling $342,675 related to new legislation passed as a result of COVID-19, of which $192,775 was forgiven in 2020 and 2021.

Capital Expenditures

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company had capital expenditures of $3,049,261 in leased vehicles. At March 31, 2021, most of the Company’s vehicles were finance with leases. At March 31, 2021 the Company had $12,117,146 of rental vehicles, net of accumulated depreciation in the amount of $3,333,877, totaling $8,783,269 in net rental vehicles. At December 31, 2020 the Company had $9,067,885 of rental vehicles, net of accumulated depreciation in the amount of $2,871,452, totaling $6,196,433 in net rental vehicles. The Company’s rental vehicles are depreciated over their estimated useful life of five years. The lease terms for those rental vehicles that are leased are generally for three years and the Company has the right to purchase the leased assets for $1 each at the end of the lease terms.

Statement of Cash Flows

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 totaled $77,212, which was an increase of $638,742 or 114% from the net cash used in operating activities of $561,530 for the same period in 2020. The increase is principally due to the change in accounts payable, accrued expenses customer deposits, and non-cash expense items.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 totaled $47,051, which was an increase of $11,514 from $35,537 for the same period in 2020. The change is principally due to the purchase of property and equipment.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 totaled $52,425, which was a change of $674,208 from the net cash used in financing activities of $621,783 for the same period in 2020. The change is principally due to cash received from the sale of Common Stock, exercise was stock options, convertible note and advances from related parties in 2021 offset by an increase in payments on financing lease obligations.

Current Plan of Operations

Our plan of operations is currently focused on the growth and ongoing development of our operating businesses: (i) the Rideshare Platform, offered through Rideshare, and (ii) Fleet Management, made commercially available through Distinct Cars. We expect to incur substantial expenditures in the foreseeable future for the enhanced operations of our businesses and related, ongoing, internal research and development. Moreover, we have embarked on “EV strategy” in which we intend to replace our entire fleet of vehicles with all electric vehicles within a relatively short period of time. At this time, we cannot reliably estimate the nature, timing or aggregate amount of all of the costs associated with these.

The continuation of our current plan of operations may require us to raise significant additional capital within a short period of time. If we are successful in raising capital, we believe that the Company will have sufficient cash resources to fund its plan of operations. The cash flow from our Rideshare Platform and, especially, Fleet Management businesses and our existing capital resources are sufficient for us to continue our current operations, but for us to fully execute our business plan we will likely require significant additional capital.

We continually evaluate our plan of operations discussed above to determine the manner in which we can most effectively utilize our limited cash resources. The timing of completion of any aspect of our plan of operations is highly dependent upon the availability of cash to implement that aspect of the plan and other factors beyond our control. There is no assurance that we will successfully obtain the required capital or revenues, or, if obtained, that the amounts will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations. The inability to secure additional capital would have a material adverse effect on us, including the possibility that we would have to sell or forego a portion or all of our assets or cease operations. If we discontinue our operations, we will not have sufficient funds to pay any amounts to our stockholders.

Even if we raise additional capital in the near future, if our operating businesses fail to achieve anticipated financial results, our ability to raise additional capital in the future to fund our operations would likely be seriously impaired. If in the future we are not able to demonstrate favorable financial results or projections from our operating businesses, we will not be able to raise the capital we need to continue our then current business operations and business activities, and we will likely not have sufficient liquidity or cash resources to continue operating.

Because our working capital requirements depend upon numerous factors there can be no assurance that our current cash resources will be sufficient to fund our operations. At present, we have no committed external sources of capital, and do not expect any significant product revenues for the foreseeable future. Thus, we will require immediate additional financing to fund future operations. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to obtain funds on acceptable terms, if at all.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

In the ordinary course of our business, we are not exposed to market risk of the sort that may arise from changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates, or that may otherwise arise from transactions in derivatives.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. Preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. In many instances, we could have reasonably used different accounting estimates and in other instances changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. This applies in particular to useful lives of non-current assets and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving our judgments and estimates.

Property and Equipment and Rental Vehicles

Property and Equipment and Rental Vehicles are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of equipment and rental vehicles is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives as follows:

The Company has not changed its estimate for the useful lives of its equipment and rental vehicles, but would expect that a decrease in the estimated useful lives of equipment and rental vehicles of one year would result in an annual increase to depreciation expense of approximately $600,000, and an increase in the estimated useful lives of equipment and rental vehicles of one year would result in an annual decrease to depreciation expense of approximately $400,000.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company has not changed it methodology for estimating the valuation allowance. A change in valuation allowance affect earnings in the period the adjustments are made and could be significant due to the large valuation allowance currently established.

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue primarily from renting its fleet of cars to drivers for TNC companies, such as Uber and Lyft, based on their rental agreements which are generally administered on a weekly basis. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts with Customers.

We consider a signed contract or other similar documentation reflecting the terms and conditions under which products will be provided to be persuasive evidence of an arrangement. Collectability is assessed based on a number of factors, including payment history and the creditworthiness of a customer. If it is determined that collection is not reasonably assured, revenue is not recognized until collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value at the grant date and recognize the expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees.

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management, in consultation with its legal counsel as appropriate, assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company, in consultation with legal counsel, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not required under Regulation S-K for “smaller reporting companies.”

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms adopted by the SEC.

In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), to assess the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure due to a material weakness.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

To address this material weakness, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may become involved in lawsuits and other legal proceedings that arise in the course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and it is not possible to predict the outcome of litigation with total confidence. The Company is currently not aware of any legal proceedings or potential claims against it whose outcome would be likely, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows.

Anthony Davis v. YayYo, Inc., and Ramy El-Batrawi

A typical commercial dispute led to a complaint filed on March 5, 2020, in the LA Superior Court. Plaintiff Anthony Davis (“Davis”) was hired by the Company as its Chief Executive Officer in or about December 2016, although he worked there for only a matter of months.  Mr. El-Batrawi, the founder of the Company and a former CEO and director, and was involved, the complaint alleges, in Davis’ hiring and termination.  As part of his compensation, Mr. Davis alleges that he expected to receive stock options in the Company.  Davis admits that he resigned from his executive officer and director positions, but asserts that he did not receive his stock options (he also included a spurious claim for wage and hour violations). The Company denied liability and has asserted that it has paid Davis all amounts due to him under the contract, while in the fact that Davis failed to exercise his stock options before they expired on December 31, 2018.  The Company has filed a demurrer to the complaint which resulted in the plaintiff filing an amended complaint to which we will file a demurrer to be heard on September 8, 2021 in LA Superior Court.  The lawsuit entirely lacks merit, and will have no material impact on the company’s business or prospects.

Ivan Rung v. YayYo, Inc., Ramy El-Batrawi, et al., 20STCV27876 and Michael Vanbecelaere v. YayYo, Inc., Ramy El-Batrawi, et al., 20STCV28066 (Vanbecelaere)(hereafter the “State Cases”) 

On July 22 and July 23, 2020 two, twin  actions (with virtually identical complaints) were filed in the LA Superior Court.  The State Case complaints differed only by a few words and the random punctuation mark. Plaintiff Ivan Rung and Michael Vanbecelaere each  claimed to have purchased the Company’s stock in the IPO ; they purported to bring a securities class action on behalf of all purchasers of the Company’s stock  pursuant to the Registration Statement and Prospectus issued in connection with the Company’s November 14, 2019 IPO.  Lifting allegations freely from the FirstFire case complaint, the State Case Complaint is vague about alleged misrepresentation and material omissions, detailing instead a supposed chronology of events leading to the Company’s voluntary decision to delist its stock from NASDAQ following some business setbacks in early 2020. The Company announced in an 8K filed on February10, 2020 that it was voluntarily delisting from NASDAQ.  Although YayYo obviously admits that its stock was delisted on NASDAQ, Company has denied liability and asserts that it accurately and completely disclosed all materially adverse facts and occurrences in its Registration Statement, related public filings and other public statements, and the Complaint’s alleged violations of Sections 11 & 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 are baseless.  If the mediation is unsuccessful, YayYo intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit as it entirely lacks merit. The litigation is presently stayed

Jason Hamlin v. YayYo, Inc., Ramy El-Batrawi, et al., 20-cv-8235 (SVW) and William Koch v. YayYo, Inc., Ramy El-Batrawi, et al, 20-cv-8591 (SVW)(now consolidate in “In re YayYo Securities Litigation”) 

These two copy-cat actions were filed on September 9, 2020 and September18, 2020, respectively, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, both cases as purported class actions.  Plaintiffs Jason Hamlin   and William Koch each claim to have purchased the Company’s stock “traceable to the IPO” and like plaintiffs Vanbecelaere and Rung in the state court actions, purport to bring a securities class action pursuant to Sections 11 & 15 of the Securities Act of 1933  on behalf of all purchasers of the Company’s stock.  The first amended complaint alleges false statements and material omissions of material fact in connection with the Registration Statement and Prospectus issued in connection with the Company’s November 14, 201 9 initial stock offering (IPO).  The defendants include directors of the company and the Underwriters to the IPO, Westpark Capital and Aegis Capital Corp.  The federal court has consolidated the two matters for all purposes, and an initial status conference has been scheduled and held. As with the Vanbecelaere state court case, the Company denies liability and asserts that it accurately and completely disclosed all materially adverse facts, events and occurrences in its Registration Statement and related public filings, and the complaint’s alleged violations of Sections 11 & 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 are baseless.   The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit in federal court.  All the securities lawsuits, in both federal and state court, are presently stayed pending the outcome of this mediation.

Konop v. El-Batrawi, 1:20-cv-1379- MN (Filed in Del. District Court)

Finally, on October 12, 2020 another cookie cutter complaint was filed in Delaware District Court, which has now been transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, and assigned as a related case to Judge Wilson who, as noted, has the pending federal securities action assigned to him.  Although styled as a “Derivative action” the complaint in Konop is another cut-and-paste job based on the original FirstFire complaint filed in the SDNY.  It recites a litany of false allegations of mismanagement by YayYo’s principal, Mr. El-Batrawi and members of the Board of Directors, and purports to sue for damages caused by poor management by the officers and directors.  The allegations of the complaint are spurious and no damages can or will be proved at trial.

Uptick Media v. YayYo, Inc.,  AAA Arbitration pending in New York

Plaintiff a consulting  firm based in New York and Miami entered into a “consulting agreement” with the company in 2017 in which Uptick promised to deliver strategic services and other professional services to YayYo in exchange for $5,000 in cash and $100,000 worth of stock.  They never provided any consultation or services or advice and the contract was not renewed.  Uptick is suing the company for $100,000 in stock claiming breach of contract.  The Company has denied liability on the basis of non-performance.  This dispute is being arbitrated by AAA in New York.
