GENERAL INFORMATION
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements discussed in Item 1 (Business), Item 1A (Risk Factors), Item 3 (Legal Proceedings), Item 7 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations), Item 7A (Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk) and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as in other materials and oral statements that the Company releases from time to time to the public constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements concerning management’s expectations, strategic objectives, business prospects, anticipated economic performance and financial condition and other similar matters involve significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements discussed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and other important factors are discussed in Item 1A (Risk Factors) and Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. In addition, these statements constitute the Company’s cautionary statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. It should be understood that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors.
These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may,’’ “will,’’ “expect,’’ “intend,’’ “estimate,’’ “anticipate,’’ “believe,’’ “continue’’ or similar terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, you are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, expectations may prove to have been materially different from the results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that may cause actual results to differ from projections include, for example:
● | the success or failure of management’s efforts to implement our business plan; | |
● | our ability to fund our operating expenses; | |
● | our ability to compete with other companies that have a similar business plan; | |
● | the effect of changing economic conditions impacting our plan of operation; and | |
● | our ability to meet the other risks as may be described in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). |
Unless otherwise required by law, we also disclaim any obligation to update our view of any such risks or uncertainties or to announce publicly the result of any revisions to the forward-looking statements made in this annual report on Form 10-K.
When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the cautionary statements in this annual report on Form 10-K and in our other filings with the SEC. We cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this annual report on Form 10-K will prove to be accurate. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may prove to be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time-frame, or at all.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act enacted in April 2012, and, for as long as we continue to be an “emerging growth company,” we may choose to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our 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. We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three year period; and (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer.” We may take advantage of the extended transition period until the first to occur of the date we (i) are no longer an “emerging growth company” or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period. Consequently, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
Overview
On July 19, 2017, TraqIQ, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with OmniM2M, Inc. (“OmniM2M”) and its shareholders (the “OmniM2M Shareholders”) and Ci2i Services, Inc. (“Ci2i”) and its shareholders (the “Ci2i Shareholders”) whereby the OmniM2M Shareholders and the Ci2i Shareholders agreed to exchange all of their respective shares in OmniM2M and Ci2i in exchange for 12,000,000 shares each of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001, effective upon the execution of the Share Exchange Agreement by all of the OmniM2M Shareholders and the Ci2i Shareholders. The OmniM2M Shareholders and the Ci2i Shareholders have each been issued their respective 12,000,000 shares on a pro rata basis based on their respective holdings in OmniM2M and Ci2i in the Share Exchange Agreement. On August 3, 2017, the Company closed the transaction pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement with the OmniM2M Shareholders and the Ci2i Shareholders.
Upon completion of the Share Exchange, TraqIQ, Inc. (“TRAQIQ”, or the “Company”) comprised the business activities of two subsidiary companies: Ci2i Services, Inc. (“Ci2i”) and OmniM2M, Inc. (“OmniM2M”).
On December 1, 2017, The Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Ajay Sikka (“Sikka”), the sole shareholder of Transport IQ, Inc. whereby Sikka agreed to sell all of the shares in TransportIQ, Inc. (“TransportIQ”) in exchange for $18,109, in the form of cancellation of all of the debt of TransportIQ that is owed to the Company. The transaction became effective upon the execution of the Share Exchange Agreement by Sikka and the Company; and Transport IQ, Inc, is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Because TransportIQ was commonly controlled and owned, the transaction was recorded at the historical carrying value of TransportIQ’s assets and liabilities.
OmniM2M, Inc.
The Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”) is about the transformation of any physical object into a digital data solution. Once you attach a sensor to it, a physical object (whether a tiny one like a pill that goes through your body, or a very large one like a plane or building) starts functioning a lot like any other digital solution – it emits data about its usage, location and state; it can be tracked, controlled, personalized and upgraded remotely; and, when coupled with all the progress in Big Data and artificial intelligence, the digital solution can become intelligent, predictive, collaborative and in some cases semi-autonomous.
1 |
According to Gartner Group, there will be over 21 billion “things” connected to the internet by 2020, or in other words, 3 things per each human being on earth. The Gartner Group reported that the market size for services is expected to be $235 billion in 2016, with the majority coming from business services. Wintergreen Research (2016) more conservatively estimates the commercial IIoT market at $16.3B in 2016 and reaching $185.9B by 2023.
OmniM2M is focused on the IIoT, thereby helping commercial customers increase their return on investment in their facilities. Applications such as video surveillance, smart meters, digital health monitors and a host of other services are creating new requirements and opportunities for new IIoT devices and solutions.
OmniM2M historically has provided bundled solutions of hardware, software, connectivity, applications and analytics to address targeted problems in refrigeration, pest control and tank monitoring. OmniM2M’s unique solutions can be deployed rapidly and provides considerable Return on Investment (ROI) benefits immediately by saving up to 25% of an employee’s time or meeting of corporate compliance goals). OmniM2M has deployed solutions that are currently being used by several customers with positive results. Over the past two years, OmniM2M has been primarily billing the software component. They provide the solution that at times may require minor purchases of hardware to complete the service.
Historically, OmniM2M has performed the services (“solutions”) in the following industries: Refrigeration, Pest Control, and Tank Monitoring. As noted, in the past few years, a majority of the OmniM2M services have occurred in the refrigeration sector. A majority of these services were software related.
OmniM2M Refrigeration Solution
The OmniM2M Refrigeration Solution includes a piece of hardware (the size is about that of a smart phone) that is deployed in the refrigeration units. It has a cellular connection to the OmniM2M software in the cloud. The solution tracks the temperature and alerts the user via email and/or text if there is a change in the temperature. When the health inspector performs its assessment, the customer can simply print or email the data using the OmniM2M reporting feature solution. In addition to monitoring food, the OmniM2M solutions can potentially prevent food poisoning outbreaks by safely monitoring food and equipment to their optimum temperatures.
Customer Pain Points
The typical refrigeration customer (restaurant/meat distributor/catering) frequently has issues with its equipment breaking down, meeting compliance requirements and ensuring product freshness. Aging equipment typically results in significant financial losses when the asset fails. The typical restaurant has a regulatory requirement to log the temperature in its refrigeration units four (4) times per day. This data is compiled manually by employees who check each unit and log the temperature. Since it’s a manual process, there is generally no monitoring performed outside of business hours. Assets tend to fail outside of normal hours when employees are not on location and the issue or failure is not detected.

OmniM2M Pest Control Solution
By installing a small sensor on the pest trap, the OmniM2M Pest Control Solution notifies a control technician when a pest has been caught in a trap. This notification enables the user to check the trap when it has caught the targeted vermin. Our OmniM2M Pest Control Solution also complies with state and federal laws by sending daily status reports of the active traps.
This solution results in a saving of up to 2 hours of employee time per day and reduces driving time on average, by approximately 50 miles per day.
OmniM2M Tank Monitoring Solution
By installing a small sensor in any large tank (that holds liquids), the OmniM2M Tank Monitoring Solution notifies the user electronically when the tank needs to be refilled. This solution saves considerable expense of unplanned truck rolls for refilling the tanks.

Ci2i Services, Inc.
Ci2i was formed about over 15 years ago and has most recently been providing IT consulting solutions, predominantly in the business intelligence and data analytics arenas. The Company has been a vendor to Microsoft for over 10 years and has done work with many Microsoft product and business groups, including Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Media planning. Ci2i has worked closely with customers where a wide variety of analytics solutions were built
Ci2i’s cloud solutions and analytics services comprise software development, program management, project management, and business analytics services.
The Competitive Environment
The IIoT marketplace is very fragmented marketplace comprised of a few dozen Fortune 50 companies offering development platforms and networking infrastructure; about 100 Fortune 1000 companies offering a range of products, services and solutions across multiple industry segments; and at least 100 smaller start-up companies and publicly traded companies that offer a small number of products, services and solutions in targeted industry segments.
We believe that OmniM2M will succeed by focusing on a small number of industry segments – such as Transportation, Energy (Oil & Gas), and Resource Management – and by offering data analytics and systems integration services that complement the sale of IIoT devices to enterprise customers.
TransportIQ, Inc. (“TransportIQ”)
The logistics and transportation industry worldwide is highly competitive, and is serviced by a wide range of industry players – from large multinational logistics companies scheduling millions of shipments internationally to smaller private companies that deliver thousands of shipments to individual businesses and consumers. Spending in the U.S. logistics and transportation industry alone totaled $1.48 trillion in 2015 and represented about 8 percent of annual gross domestic product (GDP).
TransportIQ, is long haul trucking carrier business that comprises contract drivers and owner operators. TransportIQ’s customers include leading third-party logistics and supply chain management providers such as C.H. Robinson.
3 |
TransportIQ launched its business with owner operators and has begun to hire drivers, thereby improving gross profits and service reliability. It plans to grow its operations by incrementally adding new third-party logistics and supply chain management customers, owner operators, and contract drivers.
TransportIQ plans to differentiate itself from traditional carriers through the adoption of new technologies that can help TransportIQ create competitive advantages in the transportation industry. The first step will be integrating OmniM2M’s Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) tracking devices into van trailers for monitoring and reporting location, weight, and temperature of loads.
Risk Factors Related to Our Business
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should not invest in our securities if you cannot afford to lose your entire investment. In deciding whether you should invest in our securities, you should carefully consider the following information together with all of the other information contained in this Current Report. Any of the following risk factors can cause our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations to suffer and you to lose all or part of your investment.
General Risks Relating to Our Business, Operations of Financial Condition
We have a limited operating history and are subject to the risks encountered by early-stage companies.
Because our operating company has a limited operating history, you should consider and evaluate our operating prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in rapidly evolving markets. For us, these risks include:
● risks that we may not have sufficient capital to achieve our growth strategy;
● risks that we may not develop our product and service offerings in a manner that enables us to be profitable and meet our customers’ requirements;
● risks that our growth strategy may not be successful; and
● risks that fluctuations in our operating results will be significant relative to our revenues.
These risks are described in more detail below. Our future growth will depend substantially on our ability to address these and the other risks described in this section. If we do not successfully address these risks, our business would be significantly harmed.
Our operating losses and working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we do not continue as a going concern, investors could lose their entire investment.
Our operating losses and working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we do not generate revenues, do not achieve profitability and do not have other sources of financing for our business, we may have to curtail or cease our development plans and operations, which could cause investors to lose the entire amount of their investment.
4 |
If we are unable to manage our anticipated post-Share Exchange Agreement growth effectively, our business could be adversely affected.
We anticipate that a significant expansion of our operations and addition of operating subsidiaries, including one in the United States, and new personnel will be required in all areas of our operations in order to implement our post-Share Exchange business plan. Our future operating results depend to a large extent on our ability to manage this expansion and growth successfully. For us to continue to manage such growth, we must put in place legal and accounting systems, and implement human resource management and other tools. We have taken preliminary steps to put this structure in place. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully manage this anticipated rapid growth. A failure to manage our growth effectively could materially and adversely affect our ability to market our crowd funding platform in multiple venues.
Increasing competition within our emerging industry could have an impact on our business prospects.
The IIoT market is an emerging industry where new competitors are entering the market frequently. These competing companies may have significantly greater financial and other resources than we have and may have been developing their products and services longer than we have been developing ours. Although we anticipate that our portfolio of products and related revenue stream sources are broad, increasing competition may have a negative impact on our profit margins.
Our business is subject to risks generally associated with fluctuating economic tendencies in the capital markets.
The demand for our products can change over time due to fluctuations in the global and local economies and in the related capital requirements of small and medium-sized enterprises. These fluctuations could negatively impact our future revenue streams.
We may not be able to adequately protect our proprietary technology, and our competitors may be able to offer similar products and services, which would harm our competitive position.
Our success depends in part upon our proprietary technology. We rely primarily on trademark, copyright, service mark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures, license agreements and contractual provisions to establish and protect our proprietary rights. Despite these precautions, third parties could copy or otherwise obtain and use our technology without authorization, or develop similar technology independently. We also pursue the registration of our domain names, trademarks, and service marks in the United States. We cannot assure you that the protection of our proprietary rights will be adequate or that our competitors will not independently develop similar technology, duplicate our products and services or design around any intellectual property rights we hold.
If third parties claim that we infringe their intellectual property, it may result in costly litigation.
We cannot assure you that third parties will not claim our current or future products infringe their intellectual property rights. Any such claims, with or without merit, could cause costly litigation that could consume significant management time. As the number of product and services offerings in the crowd funding market increases and functionalities increasingly overlap, companies such as ours may become increasingly subject to infringement claims. Such claims also might require us to enter into royalty or license agreements. If required, we may not be able to obtain such royalty or license agreements, or obtain them on terms acceptable to us.
5 |
We may need additional financing. Any limitation on our ability to obtain such additional financing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Although we expect that the proceeds from the Offering will be sufficient to implement our business plan, there can be no assurance that we will not require additional capital. The raising of additional capital could result in dilution to our stockholders. In addition, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional capital if we need it, or that if available, it will be available to us on favorable or reasonable terms. Any limitation on our ability to obtain additional capital as and when needed could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, which could harm our operating results, our ability to operate our business and investors’ views of us.
Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place so that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that will need to be evaluated frequently. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires public companies to conduct an annual review and evaluation of their internal controls. Our failure to maintain the effectiveness of our internal controls in accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business. We could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock. In addition, if our efforts to comply with new or changed laws, regulations, and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.
Risks Relating to our Securities
There is not now, and there may not ever be, an active market for the Company’s Common Stock.
There currently is no public market for our Common Stock. Further, our Common Stock is not currently quoted on the OTC Markets (the “OTC Markets”) and trading of our Common Stock has not yet commenced. If and when our stock does begin to trade, such trading may be extremely sporadic. For example, several days may pass before any shares may be traded. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our Common Stock. Accordingly, investors must assume they may have to bear the economic risk of an investment in our Common Stock for an indefinite period of time. There can be no assurance that a more active market for the Common Stock will develop, or if one should develop, there is no assurance that it will be sustained. This severely limits the liquidity of our Common Stock and would likely have a material adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock and on our ability to raise additional capital. A market maker has submitted an application to have our common stock quoted on the OTC Markets and we have responded to comments from FINRA and are awaiting any final comments or FINRA’s approval.
We cannot assure you that the Common Stock will become liquid or that it will be listed on a securities exchange.
Until our Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market, if ever, we expect our Common Stock to remain eligible for quotation on the OTC Markets. In that venue, however, an investor may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our Common Stock. In addition, if we fail to meet the criteria set forth in SEC regulations, various requirements would be imposed by law on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our Common Stock, which may further affect the liquidity of the Common Stock. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise capital.
Our Common Stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in the securities is limited, which makes transactions in the stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in the stock.
6 |
The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
● | that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and |
● | the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. |
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
● | Obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and |
● | make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. |
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form sets forth:
● | the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and |
● | that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. |
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of common stock and cause a decline in the market value of stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
The price of our Common Stock may become volatile, which could lead to losses by investors and costly securities litigation.
The trading price of our Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate in response to factors such as:
● actual or anticipated variations in our operating results;
● announcements of developments by us or our competitors;
● announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
● adoption of new accounting standards affecting our Company’s industry;
● additions or departures of key personnel;
● sales of our Common Stock or other securities in the open market; and
● other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.
7 |
The stock market is subject to significant price and volume fluctuations. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been initiated against the company. Litigation initiated against us, whether or not successful, could result in substantial costs and diversion of our management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business and financial condition.
We do not anticipate dividends to be paid on our Common Stock, and investors may lose the entire amount of their investment.
Cash dividends have never been declared or paid on the Common Stock, and we do not anticipate such a declaration or payment for the foreseeable future. We expect to use future earnings, if any, to fund business growth. Therefore, stockholders will not receive any funds absent a sale of their shares. We cannot assure stockholders of a positive return on their investment when they sell their shares, nor can we assure that stockholders will not lose the entire amount of their investment.
If securities analysts do not initiate coverage or continue to cover our Common Stock or publish unfavorable research or reports about our business, this may have a negative impact on the market price of our common stock.
The trading market for the Common Stock will depend on the research and reports that securities analysts publish about our business and the Company. We do not have any control over these analysts. There is no guarantee that securities analysts will cover the Common Stock. If securities analysts do not cover the Common Stock, the lack of research coverage may adversely affect its market price. If we are covered by securities analysts, and our stock is the subject of an unfavorable report, our stock price and trading volume would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases to cover the Company or fails to publish regular reports on the Company, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.
You may experience dilution of your ownership interests because of the future issuance of additional shares of the Common Stock.
In the future, we may issue our authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our present stockholders and the purchasers of Common Stock offered hereby. We are currently authorized to issue an aggregate of 310,000,000 shares of capital stock consisting of 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001, with preferences and rights to be determined by our Board of Directors. We authorized 50,000 shares of our Preferred Stock as Series A and 50,000 shares are issued and outstanding. As of the date of this Report, there are 27,297,960 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding and 50,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. We may also issue additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for our Common Stock in connection with hiring or retaining employees, future acquisitions, future sales of its securities for capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes. The future issuance of any such additional shares of our Common Stock may create downward pressure on the trading price of the Common Stock. There can be no assurance that we will not be required to issue additional shares, warrants or other convertible securities in the future in conjunction with any capital raising efforts, including at a price (or exercise prices) below the price at which shares of the Common Stock will be initially quoted on the OTC Markets.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
We do not own any property. We previously leased an office from a third party at 201 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 300, Santa Monica, California 90401-2224, the location of our business from inception. Our principal shareholder and legal counsel also used this location. Commencing April 1, 2011 until August 3, 2017, our majority shareholder and legal counsel provided us with office space, on a month-to-month basis, for no charge.
8 |
As of the date of this annual report, our main corporate mailing address is 14205 S.E. 36th St., Suite 100, Bellevue, WA 98006. We will consider leasing additional office space after our public listing is completed.
From time to time the Company is a party to various legal or administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. While any litigation contains an element of uncertainty, we have no reason to believe that the outcome of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are 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.
As used in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation,” except where the context otherwise requires, the term “we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Company,” refers to the business of TraqIQ Inc.
Overview
TraqIQ, Inc. (along with its wholly owned subsidiaries, referred to herein as the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of California on September 9, 2009 as Thunderclap Entertainment, Inc. On July 14, 2017, Thunderclap Entertainment, Inc. changed its name to TraqIQ, Inc. On July 19, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“share Exchange”) with the stockholders of OmniM2M, Inc. (“OmniM2M”) and Ci2i Services, Inc. (“Ci2i”) whereby the stockholders of OmniM2M and Ci2i agreed to exchange all of their respective shares, representing 100% ownership in OmniM2M and Ci2i in exchange for 24,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively. The OmniM2M Shareholders and the Ci2i Shareholders have each been issued their respective 12,000,000 shares on a pro rata basis based on their respective holdings in OmniM2M and Ci2i in the Share Exchange Agreement. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse merger whereas Ci2i is considered the accounting acquirer and TraqIQ, Inc. is considered the accounting acquiree. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements included the accounts of Ci2i for all periods presented and the accounts of TraqIQ, Inc. and OmniM2M, which was acquired by the Company on July 19,2017 since the date of acquisition. For accounting purposes, the acquisition of OmniM2M is recorded at historical cost in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 805-50-25-2 as this is considered an acquisition of entities under common control as the management of the Company and OmniM2M control the activities of the respective companies. Prior to the merger with Ci2i and acquisition of OmniM2M, the Company was considered a shell company under Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). On December 1, 2017, The Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Ajay Sikka (“Sikka”), the sole shareholder of Transport IQ, Inc. whereby Sikka agreed to sell all of the shares in TransportIQ, Inc. (“TransportIQ”) in exchange for $18,109, in the form of cancellation of all of the debt of TransportIQ that is owed to the Company. The transaction became effective upon the execution of the Share Exchange Agreement by Sikka and the Company; and Transport IQ, Inc, is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Because TransportIQ was commonly controlled and owned, the transaction was recorded at the historical carrying value of TransportIQ’s assets and liabilities,
Ci2i is an innovative and growth-oriented services company founded in 1998 that develops and deploys intelligent technologies and products in order to meet the demand for sustainable, integrated solutions to contemporary business needs. Ci2i is a consulting services company that provides marketing and technical services to its clients. These services are delivered both on a Project and a Time & Materials basis. The primary focus has been in the Analytics and Intelligence segments. The Company typically does not own any IP, as all the work is done on behalf of the clients.
OmniM2M was formed in 2014 and is an innovative and growth-oriented company that develops and deploys “Internet of Things” (IoT) and “Mobile to Mobile” (M2M) products in order to meet the demand for sustainable, integrated solutions to contemporary business needs.

TransportIQ was formed in the State of Nevada on September 8, 2017. TransportIQ is long haul trucking carrier business that comprises contract drivers and owner operators. TransportIQ’s customers include leading third-party logistics and supply chain management providers such as C.H. Robinson. TransportIQ plans to differentiate itself from traditional carriers through the adoption of new technologies that can help TransportIQ create competitive advantages in the transportation industry, including:
● | Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) tracking devices | |
● | Data Analytics software that can help dispatchers improve efficiency and profitability | |
● | Blockchain transaction software to improve efficiencies with third party logistics companies |
Going Concern
The Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,673,775 and a working capital deficit of $1,658,685 as of December 31, 2018 compared to a working capital deficit of $1,260,824 as of December 31, 2017. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and/or obtain additional financing from its stockholders and/or other third parties.
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity or debt financing to continue operations, successfully locating and negotiating with other business entities for potential acquisition and /or acquiring new clients to generate revenues.
In order to further implement its business plan and satisfy its working capital requirements, the Company will need to raise additional capital. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise additional equity or debt financing at acceptable terms, if at all.
There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. Those material accounting estimates that we believe are the most critical to an investor’s understanding of our financial results and condition are discussed immediately below and are particularly important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates.
Use of Estimates
In preparing these consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions included in our consolidated financial statements relate to the valuation of long-lived assets, accruals for potential liabilities, and valuation assumptions related to our deferred income taxes.

Software Costs
OmniM2M accounts for software development costs in accordance with ASC 985.730, Software Research and Development, and ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed. ASC 985-20 requires that costs related to the development of OmniM2M’s products be capitalized as an asset when incurred subsequent to the point at which technological feasibility of the enhancement is established. ASC 985-20 specifies that “technological feasibility” can only be established by the completion of a “detailed program design” or if no such design is prepared, upon the completion of a “working model” of the software. OmniM2M’s development process does not include a detailed program design. Management believes that such a design could be produced in the early stages of development but would entail significant wasted expense and delay. Consequently, ASC 985-20 requires that development costs be recorded as an expense until the completion of a “working model”. In OmniM2M’s case, the completion of a working model does not occur until shortly before the time when the software is ready for sale.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), specifically ASC 606-10-50-12. This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all industries and requires additional disclosures. The updated guidance introduces a five-step model to achieve its core principal of the entity recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted the updated guidance effective January 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method, however the new standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations, as it did not change the manner or timing of recognizing revenue.
Trucking Revenue
The Company’s contracts with customers are generally on a purchase order basis and represent a single stand-alone performance obligation to transport property on behalf of a customer at a pre-determined rate. The performance obligation is satisfied at the point in time in which the delivery of property is complete and the Company generally collect payment within 30 days of delivery. Accordingly, revenue for each contract is recognized when the Company’s performance obligation is complete. There are no agency relationships in any if the services related to the trucking sector.
Software Solution Revenue
Revenue from arrangements with customers is recognized based on the Company’s satisfaction of distinct performance obligations identified in each agreement, generally at a point in time as discussed in ASC 606. In instances where multiple performance obligations are identified, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on relative selling prices of each distinct product or service, and recognizes revenue related to each performance obligation at the points in time that each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s performance obligation includes providing connectivity to software, generally through a monthly subscription, where the Company typically satisfies its performance obligations prior to the submission of invoices to the customer for such services. The Company’s performance obligation for hardware components that are purchased by the customer in connection with the solution is delivery of the purchased device, which is satisfied prior to invoicing. The Company provides a twelve-month warranty on their hardware. All units deployed by the Company are past the twelve-month period, thus the Company has not accrued for a warranty liability. The Company generally collects payment within 30 to 60 days of completion of the performance obligation and there are no agency relationships.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company follows ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. This requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. Management evaluates their tax positions on an annual basis.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction and various state tax jurisdictions. The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they were filed.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Company’s financial instruments: The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, stockholder advances, and short term financing approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. The Company does not utilize derivative instruments.
Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews recoverability of long-lived assets on a periodic basis whenever events and changes in circumstances have occurred which may indicate a possible impairment. The assessment for potential impairment is based primarily on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived assets from expected future cash flows from its operations on an undiscounted basis. If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fixed assets to be disposed of by sale will be carried at the lower of the then current carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) include additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as convertible notes, preferred stock, stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reports a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive for periods presented. An uncertain number of shares underlying convertible debt have been excluded from the computation of loss per share because their impact was anti-dilutive.
Related Party Transactions
Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal stockholders of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal stockholders of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal where one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions. All transactions shall be recorded at fair value of the goods or services exchanged. Property purchased from a related party is recorded at the cost to the related party and any payment to or on behalf of the related party in excess of the cost is reflected as compensation or distribution to related parties depending on the transaction.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. The amendments in this update provided guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. This update is to provide specific guidance on each of the eight issues, thereby reducing the diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018 with no significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. ASU 2016-02 changes the accounting for leased assets, principally by requiring balance sheet recognition of assets under lease arrangements. It is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements.
13 |
In May 2014, August 2015 and May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Deferral of the Effective Date”, and ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”, respectively, which implement ASC Topic 606. ASC Topic 606 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP, including industry-specific guidance. It also requires entities to disclose both quantitative and qualitative information that enable financial statements users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amendments in these ASUs are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. These ASUs may be applied retrospectively with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings in the year of adoption. The Company has adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018 with no significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in this update are required for public business entities that have goodwill reported in their financial statements and have not elected the private company alternative for the subsequent measurement of goodwill. The update is intended to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. Public business entities must apply the amendments in this update to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted under certain conditions. The Company has adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018 with no significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
In June 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. The standard requires a financial asset (including trade receivables) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. Thus, the income statement will reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly-recognized financial assets as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. This standard will be effective for the calendar year ending December 31, 2020. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updated 2017-15, “Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (ASU 2017-15). The standard addresses eight specific cash flow issues to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented on the Statements of Cash Flows. ASU 2017-15 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments require a retrospective approach to adoption and early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period. The Company has adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018, which did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
There were other updates recently issued, most of which represent technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries or transactions that are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on an evaluation as of the date of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s Certifying Officers conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Certifying Officers concluded that, because of the disclosed material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted 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 in the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Certifying Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon the evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this report, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of continuing weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting principally due to the following:
- | We have not established adequate financial reporting processes or monitoring activities to ensure adequate financial reporting and to mitigate the risk of management override, specifically because there are few employees and only two officers with management functions and therefore there is lack of segregation of duties. | |
- | An outside consultant assists in the preparation of the annual and quarterly financial statements and partners with us to ensure compliance with US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements. | |
- | Outside counsel assists us to review and editing of the annual and quarterly filings and to ensure compliance with SEC disclosure requirements. |
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, using the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013 framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As a result of management’s assessment, management has determined that there are material weaknesses due to the lack of segregation of duties and, due to the limited resources based on the size of the Company. Due to the material weaknesses management concluded that as of December 31, 2018, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective. In order to address and resolve the weaknesses, the Company will endeavor to locate and appoint additional qualified personnel to the board of directors and pertinent officer positions as the Company’s financial means allow. To date, the Company’s limited financial resources have not allowed the Company to hire the additional personnel necessary to address the material weaknesses.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
The following tables set forth certain information regarding the ownership of our common stock as of March 22, 2019, by:
● | each director; | |
● | each person known by us to own beneficially 5% or more of our Common Stock; | |
● | each officer named in the summary compensation table elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K; and | |
● | all directors and executive officers as a group. |
The amounts and percentages of common stock beneficially owned are reported on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or “investment power,” which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under these rules more than one person may be deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest. The percentages of common stock beneficially owned are calculated on the basis of 27,297,960 total common shares issued and outstanding after giving effect to the Share Exchange Agreement and the percentage of Series A Preferred Stock is based on the 50,000 shares issued and outstanding. Each share of preferred stock is convertible into 85% of the average closing price of the common stock over the last 20 trading days immediately preceding the conversion.

Unless otherwise indicated below, to the best of our knowledge each beneficial owner named in the table has sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
F-1 |
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of TraqIQ, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Traq IQ, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows, for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and its total liabilities exceed its total assets. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

of TraqIQ, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of TraqIQ, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal controls over financial reporting.

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Going Concern Consideration
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has sustained significant operating losses and needs to obtain additional financing to continue the services they provide. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
TraqIQ, Inc. (along with its wholly owned subsidiaries, referred to herein as the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of California on September 9, 2009 as Thunderclap Entertainment, Inc. On July 14, 2017, Thunderclap Entertainment, Inc. changed its name to TraqIQ, Inc. On July 19, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“share Exchange”) with the stockholders of OmniM2M, Inc. (“OmniM2M”) and Ci2i Services, Inc. (“Ci2i”) whereby the stockholders of Omni and Ci2i exchanged all of their respective shares, representing 100% ownership in OmniM2M and Ci2i in exchange for 12,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively. The OmniM2M Shareholders and the Ci2i Shareholders have each been issued their respective 12,000,000 shares on a pro rata basis based on their respective holdings in OmniM2M and Ci2i in the Share Exchange Agreement. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse merger whereas Ci2i is considered the accounting acquirer and TraqIQ,Inc. is considered the accounting acquiree. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements included the accounts of Ci2i for all periods presented and the accounts of TraqIQ, Inc. and Omni, which was acquired by the Company on July 19, 2017 since the date of acquisition. For accounting purposes, the acquisition of Omni is recorded at historical cost in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 805-50-25-2 as this is considered an acquisition of entities under common control as the management of the Company and Omni control the activities of the respective companies. Prior to the merger with Ci2i and acquisition of Omni, the Company was considered a shell company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. On December 1, 2017, The Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Ajay Sikka (“Sikka”), the sole shareholder of Transport IQ, Inc. whereby Sikka agreed to sell all of the shares in TransportIQ, Inc. (“TransportIQ”) in exchange for $18,109, in the form of cancellation of all of the debt of TransportIQ that is owed to the Company. The transaction became effective upon the execution of the Share Exchange Agreement by Sikka and the Company; and Transport IQ, Inc, is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Because TransportIQ was commonly controlled and owned, the transaction was recorded at the historical carrying value of TransportIQ’s assets and liabilities.
Ci2i is an innovative and growth-oriented services company founded in 1998 that develops and deploys intelligent technologies and products in order to meet the demand for sustainable, integrated solutions to contemporary business needs. Ci2i is a consulting services company that provides marketing and technical services to its clients. These services are delivered both on a Project and a Time & Materials basis. The primary focus has been in the Analytics and Intelligence segments. The Company typically does not own any IP, as all the work is done on behalf of the clients.
OmniM2M was formed in 2014 and is an innovative and growth-oriented company that develops and deploys “Internet of Things” (IoT) and “Mobile to Mobile” (M2M) products in order to meet the demand for sustainable, integrated solutions to contemporary business needs.
TransportIQ was formed in the State of Nevada on September 8, 2017. TransportIQ is long haul trucking carrier business that comprises contract drivers and owner operators. TransportIQ’s customers include leading third-party logistics and supply chain management providers such as C.H. Robinson. TransportIQ plans to differentiate itself from traditional carriers through the adoption of new technologies that can help TransportIQ create competitive advantages in the transportation industry, including:
● | Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) tracking devices | |
● | Data Analytics software that can help dispatchers improve efficiency and profitability | |
● | Blockchain transaction software to improve efficiencies with third party logistics companies |

TRAQIQ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TraqIQ, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Forward Stock Split
On April 12, 2018, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to forward split all outstanding shares of common stock such that all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be automatically combined and reclassified such that each share of Pre-Forward Split Stock shall be combined and reclassified into four shares of Common Stock. The number of shares for all periods presented has been retroactively restated to reflect the forward split.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates include, but are not limited to, management’s estimate of provisions required for non-collectible accounts receivable, depreciative lives of our assets, determination of technological feasibility, and valuation allowances of our deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit at banking institutions as well as all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company considers accounts receivable, net of allowance for returns and doubtful accounts, to be fully collectible. The allowance is based on management’s estimate of the overall collectability of accounts receivable, considering historical losses and economic conditions. Based on these same factors, individual accounts are charged off against the allowance when management determines those individual accounts are uncollectible. Credit extended to customers is generally uncollateralized. Past-due status is based on contractual terms. Management has determined that no allowance was required for the outstanding accounts receivable as of December 31, 2018 or 2017.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Property and Equipment and Long-Lived Assets
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation on property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years.
FASB Codification Topic 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment” (ASC 360), requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The application of ASC 360 has not materially affected the Company’s reported earnings, financial condition or cash flows.
Intangible assets with definite useful lives are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. OmniM2M has had and currently does have computer software development underway, however, has determined that the costs associated with this development, currently do not meet the requirements for capitalization under ASC 985-20-25. OmniM2M will continue to monitor the development of such software in relationship to the requirements under the ASC in the future to determine if capitalization is warranted.
The Company will assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable at the time they do have intangible assets. Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
1.Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
2.Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and
3.Significant negative industry or economic trends.
When the Company determines that the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company will measure any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows. Management has determined that no impairment of long-lived assets is required for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
Software Costs
OmniM2M accounts for software development costs in accordance with ASC 985.730, Software Research and Development, and ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed. ASC 985-20 requires that costs related to the development of OmniM2M’s products be capitalized as an asset when incurred subsequent to the point at which technological feasibility of the enhancement is established. ASC 985-20 specifies that “technological feasibility” can only be established by the completion of a “detailed program design” or if no such design is prepared, upon the completion of a “working model” of the software. OmniM2M’s development process does not include a detailed program design. Management believes that such a design could be produced in the early stages of development but would entail significant wasted expense and delay. Consequently, ASC 985-20 requires that development costs be recorded as an expense until the completion of a “working model”. In OmniM2M’s case, the completion of a working model does not occur until shortly before the time when the software is ready for sale.

Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation with no effect on the Company’s net loss, total assets, liabilities equity or cash flows.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), specifically ASC 606-10-50-12. This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all industries and requires additional disclosures. The updated guidance introduces a five-step model to achieve its core principal of the entity recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted the updated guidance effective January 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method, however the new standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations, as it did not change the manner or timing of recognizing revenue.
Trucking Revenue
The Company’s contracts with customers are generally on a purchase order basis and represent a single stand-alone performance obligation to transport property on behalf of a customer at a pre-determined rate. The performance obligation is satisfied at the point in time in which the delivery of property is complete and the Company generally collect payment within 30 days of delivery. Accordingly, revenue for each contract is recognized when the Company’s performance obligation is complete. There are no agency relationships in any if the services related to the trucking sector.
Software Solution Revenue
Revenue from arrangements with customers is recognized based on the Company’s satisfaction of distinct performance obligations identified in each agreement, generally at a point in time as discussed in ASC 606. In instances where multiple performance obligations are identified, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on relative selling prices of each distinct product or service, and recognizes revenue related to each performance obligation at the points in time that each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s performance obligation includes providing connectivity to software, generally through a monthly subscription, where the Company typically satisfies its performance obligations prior to the submission of invoices to the customer for such services. The Company’s performance obligation for hardware components that are purchased by the customer in connection with the solution is delivery of the purchased device, which is satisfied prior to invoicing. The Company provides a twelve-month warranty on their hardware. All units deployed by the Company are past the twelve-month period, thus the Company has not accrued for a warranty liability. The Company generally collects payment within 30 to 60 days of completion of the performance obligation and there are no agency relationships.
The following is a summary of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, disaggregated by type:
2018 | 2017 | |||||||
Trucking Revenue | $ | 144,127 | $ | 38,400 | ||||
Software Solution Revenue | 37,191 | 24,580 | ||||||

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company follows ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. This requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. Management evaluates their tax positions on an annual basis.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction and various state tax jurisdictions. The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they were filed.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Company’s financial instruments: The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, stockholder advances, short term financing approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. The Company does not utilize derivative instruments.
Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews recoverability of long-lived assets on a periodic basis whenever events and changes in circumstances have occurred which may indicate a possible impairment. The assessment for potential impairment is based primarily on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived assets from expected future cash flows from its operations on an undiscounted basis. If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fixed assets to be disposed of by sale will be carried at the lower of the then current carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) include additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as convertible notes, preferred stock, stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reports a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive for periods presented. An uncertain number of shares underlying convertible debt have been excluded from the computation of loss per share because their impact was anti-dilutive.
Related Party Transactions
Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal stockholders of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal stockholders of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal where one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions. All transactions shall be recorded at fair value of the goods or services exchanged. Property purchased from a related party is recorded at the cost to the related party and any payment to or on behalf of the related party in excess of the cost is reflected as compensation or distribution to related parties depending on the transaction.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. The amendments in this update provided guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. This update is to provide specific guidance on each of the eight issues, thereby reducing the diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018 with no significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. ASU 2016-02 changes the accounting for leased assets, principally by requiring balance sheet recognition of assets under lease arrangements. It is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, August 2015 and May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Deferral of the Effective Date”, and ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”, respectively, which implement ASC Topic 606. ASC Topic 606 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP, including industry-specific guidance. It also requires entities to disclose both quantitative and qualitative information that enable financial statements users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amendments in these ASUs are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. These ASUs may be applied retrospectively with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings in the year of adoption. The Company has adopted this standards effective January 1, 2018 with no significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in this update are required for public business entities that have goodwill reported in their financial statements and have not elected the private company alternative for the subsequent measurement of goodwill. The update is intended to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. Public business entities must apply the amendments in this update to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted under certain conditions. The Company has adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018 with no significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. The standard requires a financial asset (including trade receivables) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. Thus, the income statement will reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly-recognized financial assets as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. This standard will be effective for the calendar year ending December 31, 2020. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In August 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updated 2017-15, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (ASU 2017-15). The standard addresses eight specific cash flow issues to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented on the Statements of Cash Flows. ASU 2017-15 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments require a retrospective approach to adoption and early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period. The Company has adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018, which did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
There were other updates recently issued, most of which represent technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries or transactions that are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Going Concern
The Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,673,775 and a working capital deficit of $1,658,685, as of December 31, 2018, and a working capital deficit of $1,260,824 as of December 31, 2017. As a result of these factors, Management has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company ability to continue as a going concern.
These consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable period of time. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of the uncertainties.
The Company plans to raise additional capital to carry out its business plan. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through future equity and debt securities issuances is unknown.

NOTE 7: CURRENT PORTION - CONVERTIBLE DEBT – RELATED AND UNRELATED PARTIES
(a) | In connection with the reverse merger in July 2017, the Company and two stockholders, who had provided related party advances to the Company, agreed to exchange their related party advances for 6% Convertible Promissory Notes that were originally due on January 15, 2018 (the “Notes”) in the amount of $68,077. From August 2017 through November 2017, the Company issued additional notes to four different parties (two of which were related parties) in the principal amount of $100,000 ($70,000 to related parties). In January 2018, the holders of the Notes agreed to extend the maturity to April 30, 2018, and in April 2018, agreed to further extend the maturity of certain notes to June or July 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the maturity of the notes were further extended to March 31, 2019. The Notes bear simple interest at 6% unless the Company defaults, which increases the interest rate to 10%. The Holders, at their option, can elect to convert the principal plus any accrued interest, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate equal to eighty percent (80%) of the average closing share price as quoted on the OTC Markets for the five (5) trading days prior to the date of conversion. |
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received additional proceeds from a related party of $25,000 (from Dharam V. Sikka, father of CEO) pursuant to a convertible note payable issued in May 2018, with the same interest rate and conversion terms as the Notes described above, initially maturing on December 31, 2018, which has been extended to March 31, 2019. Because the Notes are convertible into a variable number of shares of common stock based on a fixed dollar amount, in accordance with ASC Topic 480-10-50-2, the notes are recorded at the fair value of the shares issuable upon conversion. The excess of the fair value of shares issuable over the face value of the Notes is recorded as a discount to the note to be amortized in to interest expense over the term of the note.
The Company recorded interest expense of $11,215 and $3,764 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively for these convertible notes. Accrued interest on the convertible notes was $14,979 and $3,764 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
The Company is not currently trading on any exchange and was not for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company does not have a share price and has calculated the stock-settled liability in accordance with ASC 835-30 which establishes the monetary value at settlement of these instruments at fair value.

NOTE 8: STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
The Conversion Price for each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in effect on any Conversion Date shall be (i) eighty five percent (85%) of the average closing bid price of the Common Stock over the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion, (ii) but no less than par value of the Common Stock. For purposes of determining the closing bid price on any day, reference shall be to the closing bid price for a share of Common Stock on such date on the OTC Markets, as reported on Bloomberg, L.P. (or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices) (the “Per Share Market Value”).
Common Stock
As of December 31, 2018, the Company has 27,297,960 shares issued and outstanding.
On April 12, 2018, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to forward split all outstanding shares of common stock such that all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be automatically combined and reclassified such that each share of Pre-Forward Split Stock shall be combined and reclassified into four shares of Common Stock.

nOTE 9: CONCENTRATIONS
During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had two and two major customers comprising 91% and 70% of revenues, respectively. A major customer is defined as a customer that represents 10% or greater of total revenues. There was 77% and 96% of accounts receivable for two and one customers as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

nOTE 10: CONTINGENCY
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company charged an independent truck driver approximately $190,000 pursuant to its agreement with the driver, which entitled the Company to fees equal to $800 per day for the driver’s failure to return a trailer owned by the Company with the period prescribed by the agreement. The Company has not recognized this as income due to uncertainty of payment and will record as other income during the period in which amounts are collected.
NOTE 11: PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 differs from the amount which would be expected as a result of applying the statutory tax rates to the losses before income taxes due primarily to the valuation allowance to fully reserve net deferred tax assets.

NOTE 11: PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The following table summarizes the significant differences between the U.S. Federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate for financial statement purposes for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:
2018 | 2017 | |||||||
Federal income taxes at statutory rate | 21.00 | % | 34.00 | % | ||||
State income taxes at statutory rate | 7.50 | % | 7.50 | % | ||||

Change in valuation allowance | (35.54 | )% | (18.47 | )% | ||||
Totals | 0.00 | % | 0.00 | % |
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. As the achievement of required future taxable income is uncertain, the Company recorded a valuation allowance.
As of | As of | |||||||
December 31, 2018 | December 31, 2017 | |||||||
Deferred tax assets: | ||||||||
Net operating losses before non-deductible items | $ | 417,735 | $ | 338,077 | ||||

Net deferred tax assets | $ | - | $ | - |
As of December 31, 2018, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of $1,551,475 expiring through 2037. The Company has provided a valuation allowance against the full amount of the deferred tax asset due to management’s uncertainty about its realization. Furthermore, the net operating loss carry forward may be subject to further limitation pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The valuation allowance was increased by $109,175 in 2018.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act decreases the U.S. corporate federal income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21% effective January 1, 2018. The impact of the re-measurement on the Corporation’s net deferred tax asset, as of December 31, 2017, was an approximately $31,000 decrease in deferred tax assets, with a corresponding decrease in the Company’s valuation allowance, and no impact on income tax expense. The Act also includes a number of other provisions including, among others, the elimination of net operating loss carrybacks and limitations on the use of future losses, the repeal of the Alternative Minimum Tax regime and the repeal of the domestic production activities deduction. These provisions are not expected to have a material effect on the Corporation.
Given the significant complexity of the Act and anticipated additional implementation guidance from the Internal Revenue Service, further implications of the Act may be identified in future periods.
