(Unaudited)
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
micromobility.com, Inc. (formerly known as Helbiz, Inc., and, together with its subsidiaries, “micromobility.com” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in October 2015 with its headquarter in New York, New York. The Company is an intra-urban transportation company that seeks to help urban areas reduce their dependence on individually owned cars by offering affordable, accessible, and sustainable forms of personal transportation, specifically addressing first and last mile transport.
Founded on proprietary technology platforms, the Company’s core business is the offering of electric vehicles in the sharing environment. Through its Mobility App, the Company offers an intra-urban transportation solution that allows users to instantly rent electric vehicles. Additionally, the Company is operating two other business lines: (i) the acquisition, commercialization and distribution of media content including live sport events, and (ii) food delivery services through a “ghost kitchen” concept.
The Company currently has a strategic footprint with offices in New York, Los Angeles, Milan, and Belgrade, with additional operational teams around the world. The Company currently has electric vehicles operating in the United States and Europe.
Recent events
On March 30, 2023, a reverse stock split of 1:50 was approved by Company’s shareholders and Board of Directors. The Company’s financial statements were adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.
On March 30, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors also approved a change in name from “Helbiz, Inc.” to “micromobility.com, Inc.” (the “Company Name Change”).
Basis of Presentation
These 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”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The Company uses the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. For foreign subsidiaries where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, gains, and losses from remeasurement of foreign currency balances into U.S. dollars are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the foreign subsidiary where the local currency is the functional currency, translation adjustments of foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are recorded to a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of, and for the year ended, December 31, 2022, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for any future annual or interim period.

2. Going Concern and Management’s Plans
The Company has experienced recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception. To date, these operating losses have been funded primarily from outside sources of invested capital. The Company had, and may potentially continue to have, an ongoing need to raise additional cash from outside sources to fund its expansion plan and related operations. Successful transition to attaining profitable operations depends upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
The Company plans to continue to fund its operations and expansion plan through debt and equity financing. Debt or equity financing may not be available on a timely basis on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business and, as such, the financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP generally requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of certain assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Specific accounts that require management estimates include determination of fair values of private company stock, warrant and financial instruments, purchase price allocation for business combinations, useful lives of intangible assets, property and equipment and valuation allowance for deferred income taxes.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Accounting Pronouncement Adopted in the Current Year
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13—Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU requires an entity to use a current expected credit loss methodology to measure impairments of certain financial assets and to recognize an allowance for its estimate of lifetime expected credit losses. The main objective of this update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted ASU 2016-13 on a prospective basis. The impact of adoption of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements was not material.

Mobility - Key Financial Measures and Indicators
Quarterly Active Platform Users. We define QAPUs as the number of unique users who completed a ride on our platform at least once in three months. While a unique user can use multiple product offerings on our platform in a given quarter, that unique user is counted as only one QAPU. We use QAPUs to assess the adoption of our platform and frequency of transactions, which are key factors in our penetration of the markets in which we operate.
Trips. We define Trips as the number of completed rides in a given period. To further clarify, a single-use ride is recognized as a unique “Trip” upon completion of each ride. We believe that Trips is a useful metric to measure the scale and usage of our platform.
23 |
Active Markets. We track the number of active markets (cities) that we operate in.
Italy
We are a substantial operator in Italy in the micro-mobility environment, based on number of licenses awarded, and number of vehicles authorized. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we provided sharing electric mobility services in the following cities: Rome, Milan, Turin, Naples, Parma, Palermo, Pisa, Modena, Ravenna, Bari, Fiumicino, Cesena and Catania;

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily with proceeds from outside sources of invested capital. We have had, and expect that we will continue to have, an ongoing need to raise additional cash from outside sources to fund our operations and expand our business. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be harmed. Successful transition to attaining profitable operations depends upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure.
As of March 31, 2023, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $647, excluding restricted cash of $310 (included in prepaid and other current assets) and SEPA agreements entered during the three months ended March 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we entered into two different SEPA agreements:
- | On January 24, 2023, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“2023 January SEPA”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“YA"). Pursuant to the 2023 January SEPA, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to YA up to $20,000 of its shares of Class A Common Stock at any time during the 24 months. To request a purchase, the Company submits an Advance Notice to YA specifying the number of shares, it intends to sell. |
- | On March 8, 2023, the Company entered into another Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“2023 March SEPA”) with YA. Pursuant to the 2023 March SEPA, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to YA up to $50,000 of its shares of Class A Common Stock at any time during the 24 months. To request a purchase, the Company submits an Advance Notice to YA specifying the number of shares, it intends to sell. The terms, conditions and limitations are the same of the 2023 January SEPA. |
We collect the fees from riders using a third-party processing payment provider. We collect the fees between 2 to 5 days after the completion of the ride. We also collect charges and fees from partners for specific advertising or co-branding activities, within 30 days from the events. Additionally, Live media operators pay us within 60 days for the international audiovisual rights.
We plan to continue to fund our operations and expansion plan, including the new business lines through debt and equity financing, for the next twelve months.
We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth and expanded operations, including the new business lines. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, costs and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our significant accounting policies are described in greater detail in Note 3, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates” to our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and in Note 3, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates” to our condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2023.

Emerging Growth Company
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected to use such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and we have different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have, during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accounting Pronouncement Adopted in the Current Year
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13—Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU requires an entity to use a current expected credit loss methodology to measure impairments of certain financial assets and to recognize an allowance for its estimate of lifetime expected credit losses. The main objective of this update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted ASU 2016-13 on a prospective basis. The impact of adoption of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements was not material.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023. Based on such evaluation, due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of such date to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
28 |
Material Weakness
Our management’s conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective was due to the identification of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the preparation of our Financial Statements. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management identified the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting:
· | We have insufficiently designed and operating controls surrounding the accounting policies and controls, including standardized reconciliation schedules to ensure the company's books and records are maintained in accordance with U.S. GAAP. |
Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated cash flows as of and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, we expect to make changes to our internal control over financial reporting in the future to remediate the material weakness identified above.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and we may continue to be involved in such legal proceedings. Currently, there are several product liability claims against us none of which, other than as discussed below, is material by itself. If several of these claims were to be decided against our interest or if our product liability insurance were not to cover several of these claims, we might need to divert resources from our operations to pay for such claims, and our results of operations would correspondingly affected.
The claims against us that we deem as potentially material are:
• | We were served with a claim against us by the sponsor of the special purpose acquisition company with which we merged in August 2021 for an alleged failure to timely register shares of our Class A common stock. We are assessing the best methods to proceed in connection with this claim; and |
• | We have entered into a settlement agreement with a party that had a claim against us from prior to our acquisition of Wheels. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, we are to pay a total of $675,000 in seven monthly payments ending in November 2023. |
Our subsidiary, Wheels, has been named in various lawsuits related to the use of Wheels’s vehicles in U.S. cities and in certain matters involving California Labor Code violations and the classification of individuals as independent contractors rather than employees. We have estimated the range of loss for the Wheels legal contingencies accrued as between $685,000 to $3.1 million which represents the range between the amount already settled with the counterparts and the amount claimed deducting insurance coverage.
As of March 31, 2023, we concluded that certain losses on litigations were probable and reasonable estimable. As a result, we recorded an aggregate of approximately $2,481,000 in our unaudited interim financial statement for the period ended March 31, 2023 as “Accruals” for legal contingencies.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Although as a Smaller Reporting Company we are not required to provide this information, we refer you to the sections of our annual report on Form 10-K and our registration statement on Form S-3 entitled “Risk Factors”. In addition to the risk factors contained in those documents and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission available on its Edgar filing website, we would like to draw your attention to the following risks:
We have conducted extensive equity raises that have diluted our shareholders’ ownership position, and we may continue to do so.
We operate at a loss and have needed to raise capital to continue to fund operations. Many of these capital raises have been in the form of equity offerings, including hybrid offerings such as debt that is convertible into shares of our common stock. Equity raises were the primary reason that the total outstanding shares of our class A common stock increased from approximately 325,800 at December 31, 2021 to 10,829,025 at May 22, 2023. Since the end of our most recent fiscal quarter on March 31, 2023, the number of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock has increased 93% from 5,624,297 to 10,829,025.
We expect that we will need to obtain additional equity financing to fund our operations. Such financings may be on terms that result in significant dilution to shareholders, in per share value and/or voting power, or that result in shareholders losing all of their investment in the Company. Such financings may be at prices substantially below our per share price or our per share net tangible book value.
We have few shareholders with significant ownership positions, and it could become difficult to find a sufficient number of shareholders to obtain approval for actions requiring shareholder approval or to obtain a quorum to hold shareholder meetings.
Our CEO beneficially owns approximately 4.8% of our common stock, which because of the nature of the Class B common stock that he owns represents approximately 22.6% of the voting power of our common stock. No other shareholder individually, or to our knowledge in a group, beneficially owns more than 1% of our common stock (excluding warrants and convertible securities for which the exercise price or conversion price exceeds our current market price). As a result, we will need to conduct an extensive proxy campaign to ensure that we receive more than 50% of the votes of the common stock for any matter requiring more than 50% of the vote of the common stock, and such a campaign may not be successful. For those matters that only require a majority of the votes attending a shareholder meeting, we may have difficulty obtaining a quorum. Our bylaws and Delaware law require a quorum of 33.33% to conduct a shareholder meeting. Because of our diverse and retail-centered shareholder base, we may only be able to obtain a quorum after an extensive and expensive proxy campaign, if we can obtain a quorum at all. Our ability to obtain a quorum (i) could be adversely affected by any additional issuances of common stock as a part of equity capital raises and (ii) will be adversely affected by the automatic conversion of the Class B common stock into Class A common stock pursuant to the terms of our charter documents in August 2023 which will reduce our CEO’s voting power.
If we are unable to obtain a quorum, we may be unable to take necessary corporate actions without creating additional classes of preferred stock with preferred voting power. Any such issuance would decrease the ability of our common stockholders to control management and, in most instances, would violate Nasdaq’s continued listing standards and would lead to the delisting of our Class A common shares from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

We have received an additional letter from Nasdaq stating that we are not in compliance with their continued listing requirements, and we might not be able to regain compliance or may cease to be in compliance with additional listing requirements. If as a result of the non-compliance Nasdaq delists our Class A Common Stock, the liquidity and market price of our Class A Common Stock could decline or cease to exist.
Our Class A Common Stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy certain continued listing requirements. If we are deficient in maintaining the necessary listing requirements, our common stock may be delisted.
In addition to the letters from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that we have previously disclosed in the risk factors reference above, on May 2, 2023 we received a letter from Nasdaq indicating we were not in compliance with their continued listing requirement that we maintain a market value for our shares of Class A Common Stock together with our publicly traded warrants in excess of $35 million. We have 180 days from receipt of such notice (until October 30, 2023) to remedy such non-compliance, unless such period is extended at Nasdaq’s discretion. To regain compliance, our Class A Common Stock together with our publicly traded warrants must be valued at over $35 million or more for ten consecutive business days. In the event we do not regain compliance within the 180-day period, our Class A Common Stock and publicly traded warrants may be subject to delisting.
Nasdaq also requires that securities listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market maintain a minimum bid price of above $1.00, and we will cease to be in compliance with that standard if fail to maintain a minimum closing bid price for 30 consecutive trading days. Our Class A common stock has had a closing minimum bid price of below $1.00 for over ten consecutive days. If the closing bid price of our Class A common stock remains below $1.00 for 30 consecutive days, we will receive another letter from Nasdaq noting our deficiency and will have an additional obstacle to getting back into good-standing with the Nasdaq requirements.
If Nasdaq after the applicable compliance periods proceeds to delisting and we are not able to remedy the non-compliance, Nasdaq would delist our common stock from trading on its exchange. If we are not able to list our securities on another national securities exchange, we expect our securities could be quoted on the OTCQB or the “pink sheets.” If this occurs, we could face material adverse consequences, including:
• | a limited availability of market quotations for our securities; | |
• | reduced liquidity for our securities; | |
• | a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities; | |
• | a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and | |
• | a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. |
If we are delisted and are unable to have our securities quoted on the OTCQB or “pink sheets” or similar bulletin board, our shareholders would not be able to resell their securities in a public market.
