FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may be “forward-looking statements.”

 

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 SEC.

 

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.

MASSROOTS, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Overview

 

MassRoots, Inc. (“MassRoots” or the “Company”) is a technology company focused on developing cloud-based solutions to deliver informative content and improve operating efficiencies. The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 26, 2013.

 

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.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications and non-recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and its financial position as of June 30, 2021 have been made. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.

 

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the SEC on April 16, 2021 (the “Annual Report”). The December 31, 2020 balance sheet is derived from those statements.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS

 

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had cash of $1,261 and a working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $24,482,427. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the net loss available to common stockholders was $23,411,033 and net cash used in operating activities was $385,658. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company received proceeds of $200,000 and $357,053 from the issuance of preferred shares and non-convertible notes, respectively. The Company does not have sufficient cash 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 and equity 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. 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; 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 could 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 regarding 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 increase revenues. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to translate its audience into revenues. However, the outcome of management’s plans cannot be determined with any degree of certainty.

Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for one year from the date the unaudited condensed consolidated 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 should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. It is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak of COVID-19 and its effects on our business including our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations at this time. Management is actively monitoring the global situation and its impact on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, operations, customers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects that the COVID-19 outbreak will have on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2021. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has experienced delays in securing new customers and related revenues and the longer this pandemic continues there may be additional impacts. Furthermore, the COVID-19 outbreak has and may continue to impact the Company’s ability to raise capital. 

 

Although the Company cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak at this time, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, liquidity, and capital resources, and those of the third parties on which the Company relies in fiscal year 2021.

 

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MassRoots, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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, fair value of payroll tax liabilities, deemed dividends 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 estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their 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 condensed consolidated 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.

 

7

 

 

Cash

 

For purposes of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in accounts that at times may be in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000 per bank. The Company minimizes this risk by placing its cash deposits with major financial institutions. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the uninsured balances amounted to $0.

 

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 incurred. 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.

 

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

 

Revenues are accounted for under ASC Topic 606, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers” (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASC also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer purchase orders, including significant judgments.

 

In accordance with ASC 606, the Company 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) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

The Company primarily generates revenue by charging businesses to advertise on the Company’s website and social media channels. In cases where clients enter advertising contracts for an extended period of time, the Company recognizes revenue pro rata over the contract term and any unearned revenue is deferred to future periods. 

 

Based on the nature of the Company’s revenue streams, revenues generally do not require significant estimates or judgments. 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.

 

Deferred revenue represents the amount of prepaid advertising fees the Company has received from customers and it is included in current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  Deferred revenue shall be recognized in the future as the advertising services are provided.

Advertising

 

The Company charges the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. Advertising costs were $22,703 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is expensed over the requisite service period. For stock-based awards to employees, non-employees and directors, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date under this model requires judgment, including estimating volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors and forfeiture rates. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent the Company’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.

 

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 freestanding 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, “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity.”

 

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 using the effective interest method.

Beneficial Conversion Features and Deemed Dividends

 

The Company records a beneficial conversion feature for preferred stock when, on the date of issuance, the conversion rate is less than the Company’s stock price. The Company also records, when necessary, a contingent beneficial conversion resulting from price protection of the conversion price of preferred stock, based on the change in the intrinsic value of the conversion options embedded in such preferred stock.

 

The Company records, when necessary, deemed dividends for: (i) warrant price protection, based on the difference between the fair value of the warrants immediately before and after the repricing (inclusive of any full ratchet provisions); (ii) the exchange of preferred shares for convertible notes, based on the amount of the face value of the convertible notes in excess of the carrying value of the preferred shares; (iii) the settlement of warrant provisions, based on the fair value of the shares of common stock issued; and (iv) amortization of discount on preferred stock resulting from recognition of a beneficial conversion feature.

 

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 freestanding derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.

 

The Company’s freestanding derivatives consisted of warrants to purchase common stock that were issued in connection with the issuance of debt and the sale of shares of common stock, and of embedded conversion options within convertible notes. The Company evaluated these derivatives to assess their proper classification in the balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 using the applicable classification criteria enumerated under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The Company determined that certain embedded conversion and/or exercise features did not contain fixed settlement provisions. The convertible notes contained 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 is 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. The Company also records derivative liabilities for instruments, including convertible notes, preferred stock, and warrants, in which the Company does not have sufficient authorized shares to cover the conversion of these instruments into shares of common stock.

 

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 life 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.

 

10

 

 

Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill

 

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 indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill for 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 Loss Per Common Share

 

Net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes 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 diluted earnings (loss) per share 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.

 

Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:

 

   June 30,   June 30, 
   2021   2020 
Shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible notes   142,902,681    19,621,477,046 
Options to purchase shares of common stock   27,621,765    27,621,765 
Warrants to purchase shares of common stock   167,825,079    17,161,877,276 
Shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of preferred stock   7,466,656,740    
-
 
Total potentially dilutive shares   7,805,006,265    36,810,976,087 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies the guidance on accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the separation models for: (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature; and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, the Company will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt. Instead, we will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. We expect the elimination of these models will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for the Company’s convertible instruments falling under the scope of those models before the adoption of ASU 2020-06. Also, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method will be no longer available. The provisions of ASU 2020-06 are applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

11

 

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 removes certain disclosure requirements, including the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 also adds disclosure requirements, including changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements, and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. ASU 2018-13 became effective for us on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

There are other various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 5 – ADVANCES, NON-CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE AND PPP NOTE PAYABLE

 

Advances

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company received aggregate proceeds from non-interest bearing advances of $14,311 and $0 and repaid an aggregate of $9,930 and $0, respectively, of advances. Included in the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $1,210 of advances from and $4,330 of repayments to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (See Note 14). The remaining advances are primarily for Simple Agreements for Future Tokens, entered into with accredited investors issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Regulation D thereunder in 2018. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company owed $92,568 and $88,187 in principal and $1,000 and $0 in accrued interest, respectively, on advances.

 

Non-Convertible Notes Payable

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company received proceeds from the issuance of non-convertible notes of $357,053 and $110,000 and repaid an aggregate of $0 and $37,250, respectively, of non-convertible notes. Included in the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $357,053 of advances from and $0 of repayments to the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Empires Services, Inc., (See Note 14). The non-convertible notes have maturity dates ranging from March 31, 2019 to June 24, 2023 and accrue interest at rates ranging from 0% to 35% (default interest rate) per annum.

 

On June 2, 2021, one of the holders of non-convertible notes entered into an agreement to cancel the entire amount owed to him (including principal of $79,000 and accrued interest of $63,055), resulting in gain on forgiveness of debt of $142,055 (See Note 8 – Trawick’s Complaint).

 

On June 4, 2021, one of the holders of a non-convertible note payable for $60,000 extended the due date of the note from June 26, 2022 to June 24, 2023.

 

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company owed $497,573 and $219,520 in principal (of which $60,000 and $60,000 is long-term) and $317,203 and $251,612 in accrued interest, respectively, on non-convertible notes (See Note 15).

Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the investor may accelerate the note pursuant to which the Outstanding Balance will become immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount (as defined in the note).

On December 15, 2020, $79,143 of accrued compensation owed to the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer was settled by the issuance of a convertible note in the amount of $64,143, having a maturity date of June 15, 2021 and bearing interest of 12% per annum, resulting in a gain on settlement of accounts payable of $15,000. The holder has the right to convert the Outstanding Balance (as defined in the note) of the note at any time into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.0003 per share, subject to adjustment. In the event of default, the conversion price shall be 60% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the Company’s common stock during the 20 days prior to the conversion date. As a result of the beneficial conversion feature of the note, debt discount of $64,143 was recognized with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital. On December 24, 2020, the holder converted $64,143 of principal into 3.20716 shares of Series Y preferred shares having a stated value of $64,143, resulting in a reduction in debt discount by $60,971 and a loss on settlement of $60,971.

Upon the issuance of certain convertible notes, the Company determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option embedded in the notes, should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions.

 

The Company does not have enough authorized and unissued shares of common stock to convert all of the convertible promissory notes into shares of common stock. As a result of this authorized shares shortfall, all of the convertible notes payable, including those where the maturity date has not yet been reached, are in default. Accordingly, (i) interest has been accrued at the default interest rate, if applicable, and (ii) the embedded conversion option has been accounted for, at fair value, as a derivative liability (See Note 10).

Upon the issuance of certain convertible debentures, warrants, and preferred stock, the Company determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option embedded in the debentures, should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, upon issuance of the instruments underlying the derivative liabilities and upon revaluation (immediately prior to conversion of the underlying instrument), the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 133.69% to 138.77%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.01% to 0.14%, and (4) expected life of 0.06 to 1.85 years.

 

On June 30, 2021, the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $12,681,183 using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 138.73%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.05% to 0.25%, and (4) expected life of 0.08 to 1.58 years.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, upon issuance of the instruments underlying the derivative liabilities and upon revaluation (immediately prior to conversion of the underlying instrument), the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 119.33% to 128.94%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.06% to 1.56%, and (4) expected life of 0.06 to 2.11 years.

 

On December 31, 2020, the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $25,475,514 using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 132.11%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.08% to 0.13%, and (4) expected life of 0.04 to 2.08 years.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 825-10. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

  Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

  Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

 

All items required to be recorded or measured on a recurring basis are based upon Level 3 inputs.

 

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as Level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed above. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.

 

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

 

Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following items as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2021: 

 

Balance, December 31, 2020  $25,475,514 
Transfers out due to conversions of convertible notes, accrued interest and warrants into shares of Series Y preferred stock   (4,834,911)
Transfers out due to conversions of convertible notes and accrued interest into shares of common stock   (118,777)
Transfers out due to cash payments made pursuant to settlement agreements   (169,815,037)
Change in derivative liability due to authorized shares shortfall   162,275,278 
Mark to market to June 30, 2021   (300,885)
Balance, June 30, 2021  $12,681,182 
      
Gain on change in derivative liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2021  $300,885 

 

Fluctuations in the Company’s stock price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. As the stock price increases/(decreases) for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument generally increases/(decreases), therefore increasing/(decreasing) the liability on the Company’s balance sheet. Decreases in the conversion price of the Company’s convertible notes are another driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. As the conversion price decreases for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument (especially those with full ratchet price protection) generally increases, therefore increasing the liability on the Company’s balance sheet. Additionally, stock price volatility is one of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments. The simulated fair value of these liabilities is sensitive to changes in the Company’s expected volatility. Increases in expected volatility would generally result in higher fair value measurements. A 10% change in pricing inputs and changes in volatilities and correlation factors would not result in a material change in our Level 3 fair value.

NOTE 13 – STOCK OPTIONS

 

Our stockholders approved our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan in June 2014 (the “2014 Plan”), our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan in December 2015 (the “2015 Plan”), our 2016 Equity Incentive Plan in October 2016 (“2016 Plan”), our 2017 Equity Incentive Plan in December 2016 (“2017 Plan” and together with the 2014 Plan, 2015 Plan, 2016 Plan, the “Prior Plans”) and our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan in June 2018 (the “2018 Plan”, and together with the Prior Plans, the “Plans”). The Prior Plans are identical, except for the number of shares reserved for issuance under each. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had granted an aggregate of 64,310,000 securities under the Plans, with 190,000 shares available for future issuances.

 

The Plans provide for the grant of incentive stock options to our employees and our subsidiaries’ employees, and for the grant of 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.

 

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 the options.

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 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 Part I, Item 1.

 

Overview 

 

MassRoots, Inc. was formed in April 2013 as a technology platform for the cannabis industry. The Company has recently shifted its focus to developing cloud-based solutions to deliver informative content and improve operating efficiencies. The Company’s long-term strategy has been transformed accordingly, and MassRoots believes this shift could be accretive to shareholder value. Additionally, we plan to monetize our existing social media accounts such as YouTube Channel, which has 273,000 subscribers, through product placements and sponsorships. Management believes that our YouTube Channel has a large and diverse following while our Instagram account is followed by 378,000 users.

 

Our Strategy

 

Our primary business objective is to develop revenue generating channels. Currently, we are considering various strategies to achieve such objective including acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, or other business combinations with one or more targets. The management of the Company believes that such approach may be especially relevant in the current state of the marketplace and continues to explore strategic opportunities that would further the business of the Company. A recently executed letter of intent with Empire Services, Inc. (“Empire”) to acquire the entirety of issued and outstanding equity of Empire is the primary focus of the management of the Company at the moment. Further, the Company is currently taking affirmative steps to effect the non-binding provisions of the letter of intent with Empire in the absence of definitive agreement, which is considered the best course of action by the management of the Company.

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. It is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak of COVID-19 and its effects on our business including our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations at this time. Management is actively monitoring the global situation and its impact on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, operations, customers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects that the COVID-19 outbreak will have on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2021. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has experienced delays in securing new customers and related revenues and the longer this pandemic continues there may be additional impacts. Furthermore, the COVID-19 outbreak has and may continue to impact the Company’s ability to raise capital.

 

Although the Company cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak at this time, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, liquidity, and capital resources, and those of the third parties on which the Company relies in fiscal year 2021.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had net losses available to common stockholders of $23,411,033 as compared to a net loss of $207,085,114 for the same period in 2020, a difference of $183,674,081 for the reasons discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Net cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $385,658 and $492,544, respectively. This $106,886 decrease was primarily caused by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued payroll and related expenses, and prepaid expenses. Net cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily based on the loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020, partially offset by the increases in accounts payable and accrued payroll. 

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $385,434 and $492,074, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, these funds were derived mainly from proceeds related to the issuance of preferred shares and non-convertible notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was derived from the issuance of convertible notes, offset by repayment of non-convertible notes.

 

Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had cash of $1,261 and working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $24,482,427. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the net loss available to common stockholders was $23,411,033 and net cash used in operating activities was $385,434. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Our primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from the public and private placements of our securities, including debt securities, and proceeds from the exercise of warrants and options. 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; 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.

 

Management’s plans regarding these matters encompass the following actions: 1) obtain funding from new and current investors to alleviate our working capital deficiency; and 2) implement a plan to generate revenues. Our continued existence is dependent upon our ability to translate our audience into revenues. However, the outcome of our plans cannot be determined with any degree of certainty.

 

Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty such as the final settlement amounts of our notes payable and accrued interest.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

Our contractual obligations are included in our notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. To the extent that funds generated from our operations, together with our existing capital resources, are insufficient to meet future requirements, we will be required to obtain additional funds through equity or debt financings. No assurance can be given that any additional financing will be made available to us or will be available on acceptable terms should such a need arise.

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 SEC’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, the Company’s CEO (the principal executive officer) and CFO (the principal financial officer) concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021 were not effective.

 

Due to identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control environment, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s 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. The Company expects that it 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, the Company performed additional analysis and other procedures in an effort to ensure its 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 the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

The Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or its 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 the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during its most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

The disclosures set forth in Note 8 relating to certain legal matters are incorporated herein by reference.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

As a “smaller reporting company,” we are not required to provide the information required by this Item 1A. Please see the Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the SEC on April 16, 2021.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

On June 2, 2021, the Company issued 1,006,250 shares of the Company’s common stock previously recorded as to be issued as of December 31, 2020.

 

On June 6, 2021, the Company awarded an aggregate of 2,175,431 fully-vested shares of common stock, having a fair value of $166,855, for services rendered.

 

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

 

The Company does not have enough authorized and unissued shares of common stock to convert all of the convertible promissory notes into shares of common stock. As a result of this authorized shares shortfall, all of the convertible notes payable, including those where the maturity date has not yet been reached, are in default. Accordingly, (i) interest has been accrued at the default interest rate, if applicable, and (ii) the embedded conversion option has been accounted for, at fair value, as a derivative liability The Company has recorded the full value of the principal, default penalties, and interest as current liabilities, as fully described in “Note 9 - Convertible Notes Payable” in the Company’s notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The amount of principal in default pursuant to the convertible notes is $3,063,970 as of June 30, 2021.
