FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “believe,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” and “would.” These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based in part on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those set forth in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we disclaim any obligation to publicly update or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by applicable law.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2019 (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
MassRoots, Inc. (“MassRoots” or the “Company”) has created a technology platform for the cannabis industry focused on enabling users to share their cannabis content, follow their favorite dispensaries, and stay connected with the legalization movement. The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 26, 2013.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DDDigtal, Inc., Odava, Inc., MassRoots Supply Chain, Inc., and MassRoots Blockchain Technologies, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions were eliminated during consolidation.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS
As of March 31, 2019, the Company had cash of $485 and working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $7,906,960. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company used net cash in operating activities of $286,583 and used net cash in investing activities of $32,500. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the financial statements.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company received proceeds of $150,000 and $140,000 from the issuance of convertible notes and advances, respectively. The Company does not have cash sufficient to fund operations for the next fiscal year.
The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from the public and private placements of the Company’s securities, including debt securities, and proceeds from the exercise of warrants and options. The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expects these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future. For the foreseeable future, the Company’s ability to continue its operations is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional capital through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or other sources to fund its future operations; however, financing may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. The Company’s failure to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on its financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategy and the Company may be forced to curtail or cease operations.
Management’s plans with regard to these matters encompass the following actions: 1) obtain funding from new and current investors to alleviate the Company’s working capital deficiency, and 2) implement a plan to generate sales. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to translate its user base into sales. However, the outcome of management’s plans cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty.
Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to instructions to the SEC’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and reflect the accounts and operations of the Company and those of its subsidiaries.

MASSROOTS, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2019 (Unaudited)
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Accordingly, the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2019, the unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and the unaudited condensed consolidated results of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 have been included. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on April 16, 2019 (the “Annual Report”). The December 31, 2018 balances reported herein are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. Significant estimates include stock-based compensation, fair values relating to derivative liabilities and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk.
The Company follows ASC 825-10, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of three to five years. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as occurred. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company monitors outstanding receivables based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on an assessment of the Company’s ability to collect on customer accounts receivable. There is judgment involved with estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, and if the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make the required payments, the Company may be required to record additional allowances or charges against revenues. The Company writes-off accounts receivable against the allowance when it determines a balance is uncollectible and no longer actively pursues its collection.

March 31, 2019 (Unaudited)
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when services are realized or realizable and earned less estimated future doubtful accounts.
The Company’s revenues accounted for under ASC Topic 606 generally do not require significant estimates or judgments based on the nature of the Company’s revenue streams. The sales prices are generally fixed at the point of sale and all consideration from contracts is included in the transaction price. The Company’s contracts do not include multiple performance obligations or material variable consideration.
In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which MassRoots expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. MassRoots recognizes revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following:
(i) | Identify the contract(s) with a customer; |
(ii) | Identify the performance obligation in the contract; |
(iii) | Determine the transaction price; |
(iv) | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
(v) | Recognize revenue when (or as) MassRoots satisfies a performance obligation. |
The Company primarily generates revenue by charging businesses to advertise on the Company’s network. The Company has the ability to target advertisements directly to a clients’ target audience, based on their location and on their mobile devices. In cases where clients sign advertising contracts for an extended period of time, the Company only realizes revenue for services provided during that quarter and defers all other revenue to future periods.
Acquisitions and Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which MassRoots has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether MassRoots controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to MassRoots.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by MassRoots. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets transferred in consideration, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the MassRoots’ share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement.

Stock Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.
Income Taxes
The Company follows ASC subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period.
If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods.
Convertible Instruments
U.S. GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under ASC 480.
When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company classifies as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) provide the Company with a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) providing that such contracts are indexed to the Company’s own stock. The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the Company’s control) or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company assesses classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other free-standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.
The Company’s free-standing derivatives consisted of warrants to purchase common stock that were issued in connection with the issuance of debt and sale of common stock, and of embedded conversion options with convertible debentures. The Company evaluated these derivatives to assess their proper classification in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 using the applicable classification criteria enumerated under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging. The Company determined that certain embedded conversion and/or exercise features do not contain fixed settlement provisions. The convertible debentures contain a conversion feature such that the Company could not ensure it would have adequate authorized shares to meet all possible conversion demands.
As such, the Company was required to record the derivatives which do not have fixed settlement provisions as liabilities and mark to market all such derivatives to fair value at the end of each reporting period.

Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its property and equipment and any identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The test for impairment is required to be performed by management at least annually. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted operating cash flow expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Intangible assets are stated at cost and reviewed annually to examine any impairments, usually assuming an estimated useful lives of three to five years. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings.
Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill Assets
The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.
The Company tests for indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the Chief Executive Officer, or decision-making group, in deciding the method to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company currently has one reportable segment for financial reporting purposes, which represents the Company’s core business.
Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share under ASC subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share. Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable.
The computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 excludes potentially dilutive securities when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
FASB Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2017-04 (Topic 350), “Intangibles – Goodwill and Others” – Issued in January 2017, ASU 2017-04 simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 including interim periods within those periods. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2017-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
FASB ASU 2017-01 (Topic 805), “Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business” – Issued in January 2017, ASU 2017-01 revises the definition of a business and provides new guidance in evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. This guidance was effective for the Company in the first fiscal quarter of 2018. The Company believes the standard does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
FASB ASU No. 2014-09 (Topic 606), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” – Issued in May 2014, ASU 2014-09 will require an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers using a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of the contracts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date”. This amendment defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Gross versus Net)”, which amends the principal versus agent guidance and clarifies that the analysis must focus on whether the entity has control of the goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. In addition, the FASB issued ASU Nos. 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and 2016-12, “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”, both of which provide additional clarification of certain provisions in Topic 606. These ASUs are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017; however, early adoption is permitted as of annual reporting periods after December 15, 2016. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method.
The Company has applied the guidance using the modified retrospective transition method. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2014-09 had a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations but such adoption resulted in additional disclosures regarding the Company’s revenue recognition policies. The Company also does not believe the adoption of ASU 2014-09 required material or significant changes to its internal controls over financial reporting. In connection with the application of that guidance and the adoption of ASU 2014-09, the Company has expanded its revenue recognition inquiries and updated its questionnaires to identify matters that would signal variable consideration implications under the new guidance.

FASB ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) - ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of twelve months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e. January 1, 2019, for a calendar year entity). Early application is permitted for all public business entities and all nonpublic business entities upon issuance. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
FASB ASU No. 2018-07 (Topic 718), “Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” – Issued in June 2018, ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606. The new standard is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENTS
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying value of our investments in privately held companies totaled $247,912 and $247,912, respectively. These investments are accounted for as cost method investments, as we own less than 20% of the voting securities and do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the entities.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, the Company acquired 23,810 shares of Class A common stock of Hightimes Holding Corp. for $100,002, or $4.20 per share. As a result of a forward share split of 1.9308657-for-one on January 15, 2018, MassRoots currently owns 45,974 shares of Class A common stock. The acquired Class A common stock are considered non-marketable securities.
On July 13, 2017, the Company purchased an unsecured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $300,000 from CannaRegs, Ltd, a Colorado limited liability company (“CannaRegs”). The note bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum and matures on at December 19, 2019. In the event CannaRegs consummates an equity financing in excess of $2,000,000 prior to the maturity date of the note, the outstanding principal and any accrued and unpaid interest automatically converts into equity securities of the same class or series issued by CannaRegs at the lesser of: a) 90% of the price paid per equity security or b) a price reflecting a valuation cap of $4,500,000.
On July 17, 2017, MassRoots converted the note into 430,622 shares of CannaRegs’ common stock. In 2018, CannaRegs re-incorporated as a Delaware C corporation under the name Regs Technology, Inc. (“Regs Technology”), keeping the same capitalization structure and business operations. MassRoots values its holdings at $147,876 and $147,876 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

If the Company exercises its right to prepay the notes, the Company shall make payment to the investors in an amount equal to the sum of the then outstanding principal amount of the notes that the Company desires to prepay, multiplied by (a) 1.1, during the first 90 days after the execution of the note, or (b) 1.25, at any point thereafter. The notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to the lower of (i) $0.25 and (ii) a 15% discount to the price at which the Company next conducts an offering after the issuance date of the notes; provided, however, if any part of the principal amount of the notes remains unpaid after the maturity date, the conversion price will be equal to 65% of the average of the three trading days with the lowest daily weighted average prices of the Company’s common stock occurring during the fifteen days prior to the notes’ maturity date.
In connection with the issuance of the notes, the Company and the investors also entered into a security agreement pursuant to which the notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company currently held as of July 5, 2018 or thereafter acquired.

Commencing on June 17, 2019, the investor shall have the right to redeem all or any portion of the note; provided, however, the investor may not request redemption in an amount that exceeds $350,000 during any single calendar month; provided, further however, upon the occurrence of an event of default, the redemption amount in any calendar month may exceed $350,000. Payments on redemption amounts may be made in cash, by converting the redemption amount into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of the lesser of (a) $0.075 per share, subject to adjustment and (b) the Market Price (as defined in the note), or a combination thereof.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had granted an aggregate of 60,600,000 securities under the Plans, with 3,900,000 shares available for future issuances.
The Plans provide for the grant of incentive stock options to our employees and our parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees, and for the grant of non-statutory stock options, stock bonus awards, restricted stock awards, performance stock awards and other forms of stock compensation to our employees, including officers, consultants and directors. The Prior Plans also provide that the grant of performance stock awards may be paid out in cash as determined by the committee administering the Prior Plans.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company granted ten-year options outside of our Plans to purchase up to 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of $14,000, was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, assuming approximately 2.43% risk-free interest, 0% dividend yield, 114% volatility, and expected life of ten years and will be charged to operations over the vesting terms of the options.

The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding stock options was $1,250, based on options with an exercise price less than the Company’s stock price of $0.076 as of March 31, 2019, which would have been received by the option holders had those option holders exercised their options as of that date.
Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The fair value of stock-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with a volatility figure derived from historical data. The Company accounts for the expected life of options based on the contractual life of options for non-employees.
The fair value of all options that were vested for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $14,000 and $459,834, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense of $0 at December 31, 2018 will be expensed in future periods.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. Please also refer to the note about forward-looking information for information on such statements contained in this Quarterly Report immediately preceding Item 1.
Overview
We were incorporated in April 2013 as a technology platform for the cannabis industry. Powered by more than one million registered users, we enable consumers to rate cannabis products and strains based on their efficacy (i.e., effectiveness for treating ailments such as back-pain or epilepsy) and then present this information in easy-to-use formats for consumers to make educated purchasing decisions at their local dispensary. Businesses are able to leverage MassRoots by strategically advertising to consumers based on their preferences and tendencies.
Over the past six years, we have established our self as a leading technology company in the emerging cannabis industry, building a user base of over one million registered users, partnering with some of the most recognized brands in the industry and raising significant capital from institutional and private investors. Since inception, we have generated approximately $1.2 million in revenue.
Historically, we have focused on building a consumer-facing application and have not spent significant resources on developing our advertising portal for dispensaries. However, we are now focusing our efforts on developing our advertising portal so as to automate the processes and platform needed to deliver our underlying services. In the summer of 2018, we launched a revamped MassRoots Business Portal and a consumer rewards program, called WeedPass®, which is accessible through the MassRoots mobile application. After an introductory free trial period, we charge dispensaries fees for their dispensary listing and access to our consumer rewards program. We intend to upgrade and further develop the MassRoots Business Portal to better serve our clients. According to ArcView Market Research, there are projected to be over 2,700 state-regulated dispensaries in the United States by 2020.
User Growth and Product Distribution Channels
The MassRoots app is distributed free-of-charge through the Apple App Store, the Google Play Marketplace and the Amazon App Store. The MassRoots network is also accessible through desktop and mobile web browsers by navigating to www.massroots.com. Our business and adverting portal can be accessed at www.massroots.com/business. Through this portal, companies can edit their profiles, distribute information to users and view analytics such as impressions, views and clicks.
Competitors
We compete with other cannabis information platforms such as WeedMaps and Leafly, which provide information with respect to dispensary locations, strain information, and news relating to the cannabis industry. We believe our primary competitive advantage is the community we have created and the significant reviews and data we have collected on key cannabis markets.
Blockchain Technology
In December 2017, we formed MassRoots Blockchain Technologies, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, to explore how blockchain technology may be utilized in the cannabis industry.

Revenues
For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we generated revenues of $4,383 and $1,492, respectively, an increase of $2,891. The increase is attributed to the Company’s new online advertising portal and new rewards sales program for businesses.
Operating Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, our operating expenses were $968,498 and $5,134,544, respectively, a decrease of $4,166,046. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, these decreases were attributed to significant reductions in payroll, stock-based compensation and other general and administrative expenses. There was a decrease in payroll and related expenses of $254,411 due to reduction in the number of employees as payroll and related expenses were $171,319 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $425,730 for same period in 2018. Advertising expense decreased to $27,208 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $64,577 for the same period in 2018, a decrease of $37,369. Stock-based compensation decreased by $2,930,050 from $187,200 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $3,117,250 for the same period in 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded amortization of software costs of $12,850 and $97,265, respectively. This is primarily a result of a reduction in the Company’s software costs for the period. Other general and administrative expenses decreased $863,331 from $566,391 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $1,429,722 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. This reduction was attributed to lower overhead costs for offices expenses, legal fees, rent expense and contractor services for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018.
Other Income (Expense)
For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded interest expense of $238,787 and $350,196, respectively, related to the conversion of convertible debentures. As of March 31, 2019, the Company recorded a loss on the conversion of convertible notes payable of $293,597 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Net Loss
For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we had net losses of $1,496,499 and $5,483,248, respectively, a decrease of $3,986,749 for the reasons discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $286,583 and $3,535,373, respectively. This $3,248,790 decrease was primarily caused by a decrease in cash provided by interest and amortization of debt discounts (non-cash items), an increase in accounts payable and other liabilities and a decrease in stock-based compensation (non-cash items). Net cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily based on the utilization of $1,113,554 in cash to reduce accounts payable and other liabilities and the loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018 which was offset by the increase in stock-based compensation (non-cash item).
20
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $32,500 and $0, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company used cash to invest in Cowa Science Corporation.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $290,000 and $3,008,562, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, these funds were derived mainly from proceeds related to advances and the conversion of convertible notes. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, net cash provided by financing activities was derived mainly from sales of our common stock.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the financial statements. Our primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from private placements of common stock, proceeds from the exercise of warrants and options and issuances of notes payable. We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expect these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future. For the foreseeable future, our ability to continue our operations is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional capital through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or other sources to fund our future operations; however, financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategy and we may be forced to curtail or cease operations.
Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2019, we had cash on hand of $485. We currently have no external sources of liquidity such as arrangements with credit institutions or off-balance sheet arrangements that will have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or immediate access to capital.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2019, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
For a discussion of our accounting policies and related items, please see the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
As a “smaller reporting company,” we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15-d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon such evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2019 were not effective.
21
Due to identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control environment, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report. Specifically, the Company’s controls and procedures were ineffective because the Company did not have an adequate process established to ensure appropriate levels of review of accounting and financial reporting matters, which resulted in the Company’s closing process not identifying all required adjustments and disclosures in a timely fashion. We expect that we will need to hire accounting personnel with the requisite knowledge to improve the levels of review of accounting and financial reporting matters. The Company may experience delays in doing so and any such additional employees would require time and training to learn the Company’s business and operating processes and procedures. For the near-term future, until such personnel are in place, this will continue to constitute a material weakness in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures that could result in material misstatements in the Company’s financial statements not being prevented or detected.
To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other procedures in an effort to ensure our financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
