NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Business |
Organization and Business
We were incorporated on May 19, 2014 in the State of Nevada as Trimax Consulting, Inc. with an initial business plan of providing real estate consulting services and purchasing tax liens. On March 16, 2017, Newfield Global Holdings Limited acquired 25.0 million shares of our common stock representing 96.3% of our then outstanding shares. Upon election of a new Board of Directors and appointment of new management, we altered our business plan to provide end-to-end Human Resource services including recruitment, executive search, campus recruitment, training, and a complete range of Human Resource outsourcing solutions to clients. On May 8, 2017, we filed an Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation changing our name to Xinda International Corp. On February 24, 2021, we filed an Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation changing our name to Tribal Rides International Corp. On February 23, 2022, we filed an application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to change our ticker symbol. Until that change is made, our ticker symbol remains XNDA.
We are engaged in the business of digital transformation of transportation. The digital transportation enablement and enhancement platform provides fully automated dispatching and bookings management built for taxi companies, limousine companies and ride-sharing service providers. The platform gives customers an app-based experience and provides service providers a range of functions which include customer booking, accounts management, driver tracking, real-time notifications, auto dispatching algorithms, accounting and settlements, corporate account management as well as providing reporting and analytics. The platform has also shown to have a direct application in the B2B space in providing corporations with a more efficient taxi chit solution to combat fraud and excessive administration costs. Our platform is presently undergoing beta testing and we hope to launch it in the second or third quarter of this year.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements have been included. Our Company’s year-end is December 31.
Going Concern Considerations
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of our Company as a going concern. We currently are doing beta testing of our software and have minimal revenues. We have incurred net losses and have an accumulated deficit of $1,035,098 as of March 31, 2022. The continuation of our Company as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from any future business we may acquire. There are no assurances that we will be successful in obtaining sufficient capital to continue as a going concern. If our working capital needs are not met and we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if our Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
8 |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Internal Use Software Development
We account for costs incurred to develop or purchase computer software for internal use in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40 “Internal-Use Software” or ASC 350-50 “Website Costs”. As required by ASC 350-40, we capitalize the costs incurred during the application development stage, which include costs to design the software configuration and interfaces, coding, installation, and testing.
Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage along with post-implementation stages of internal use computer software are expensed as incurred. Capitalized development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of five years, management’s estimate of the economic life. Costs incurred to maintain existing product offerings are expensed as incurred. The capitalization and ongoing assessment of recoverability of development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological and economic feasibility, and estimated economic life.
Intellectual Property
We have patent and patent pending technologies with a focus on artificial intelligence (“AI”), machine learning with optimization and Smart Deployment algorithms. It involves anticipating demand for passengers and dispatching cars in advance – to reduce wait-time, increasing utilization of vehicles, and decrease cost. It includes new and efficient system for tracking and charging customers with preferred rates, supply and demand rates, and “specific” community engagement.
Patent expenses, consisting mainly of patent filing fees, have been capitalized and are shown as an asset on our balance sheet. We amortize our Patent asset over the remaining life of the Patent, which is approximately ten (10) years.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of our Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 | - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | |
Level 2 | - Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. | |
Level 3 | - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity. |
As previously noted, the fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, deferred revenue and related-party advances. Fair values for these items were assumed to approximate carrying values because of their short-term nature or their status of being payable on demand.
9 |
Long-lived Assets
We follow ASC 360-10-15-3, Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, which established a “primary asset” approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used. Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Revenue Recognition
At our inception, we adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Under this guidance, operating revenue is recognized at the time a good or service is transferred to a customer and the customer receives the service performed. Our revenue arrangements with customers are predominantly short-term in nature involving a single performance obligation related to the delivery of the service and generally provide for transfer of control at the time payment for the service is received.
We exclude from the measurement of the transaction price, if applicable, all taxes imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by us from a customer, including sales, use, excise, value-added, and franchise taxes (collectively referred to as sales taxes). Sales taxes which may be collected are not recognized as revenue but are included in accounts payable on the balance sheets as they would ultimately be remitted to governmental authorities. No such taxes have yet been charged or collected.
We have elected the practical expedient permitted in ASC 606-10-32-18, which allows an entity to recognize the promised amount of consideration without adjusting for the effects of a significant financing component if the contract has a duration of one year or less. Our revenue arrangements are short-term in nature and do not have significant financing components, therefore we have not adjusted consideration.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we have reported $9 in deferred revenue on the accompanying Balance Sheet.
Debt Issued with Common Stock/Warrants
Debt issued with common stock/warrants is accounted for under the guidelines established by ASC 470-20 – Accounting for Debt With Conversion or Other Options. We record the relative fair value of common stock and warrants related to the issuance of debt as a debt discount or premium. The discount or premium is subsequently amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the debt.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 - Income Taxes, which requires us to provide a net deferred tax asset/liability equal to the expected future tax benefit/expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting methods and any available operating loss or tax credit carry forwards. Tax law and rate changes are reflected in income in the period such changes are enacted. We record a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We include interest and penalties related to income taxes, including unrecognized tax benefits, within the provision for income taxes.
10 |
We compute net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS excludes all potential dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, we had
potentially dilutive shares.
New Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all accounting pronouncements recently issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC and have determined that they are either not applicable or are not believed to have a material impact on our present or future financial statements.
3. | Software and Equipment, net |
Software and Equipment, net consist of the following:
March 31, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | |||||||
Software for internal use | $ | 92,000 | $ | 44,000 | ||||
Equipment | 3,479 | 1,224 | ||||||

Less accumulated depreciation and amortization | (455 | ) | (222 | ) | ||||
Total | $ | 95,024 | $ | 45,002 |
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021, we began developing our digital transportation enablement and enhancement platform for customer use. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we capitalized $48,000 representing costs incurred in the application development stage, which include costs to design and program the software configuration and interfaces, coding, installation and testing. Once the software is installed and fully tested and we begin to use it for its intended purposes, the costs will be amortized over a five-year period, which is the expected useful life. Additional costs to maintain the software will be expensed.
Equipment consists of two computers.
Depreciation and amortization of software and equipment amounted to $232 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022. There was no comparable expense in 2021.
11 |
4. | Patents |
We have patent and patent pending technologies with a focus on artificial intelligence (“AI”), machine learning with optimization and Smart Deployment algorithms. The technologies involve anticipating demand for passengers and dispatching cars in advance – to reduce wait-time, increasing utilization of vehicles, and decrease cost. It includes new and efficient system for tracking and charging customers with preferred rates, supply and demand rates, and “specific” community engagement.
As of March 31, 2022, we owned the following patents which have been issued and which were pending:
· | U.S. Patent 9,984,574, issued May 29, 2018, claims priority to provisional application filed on Jan. 21, 2014; | |
· | Pending U.S. application, published as US 2018/0366004 A1, claims priority to provisional application filed on Jan. 21, 2014; | |
· | Pending U.S. application, unpublished, which claims priority to provisional application filed on Jan. 21, 2014; and | |
· | Pending U.S. application, unpublished, claims priority to three provisional applications filed on Nov. 4, 2019 |
The software platform that underlies the patents have not created any material revenue to date and there is no assurance that any revenue will be created from the patent technologies. As a result, we have recorded the patent asset at the cost of patent fees and other expenses incurred to produce and file the patents. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded patent amortization expense of $126 and $128, respectively.

Convertible Promissory Note
On November 10, 2021 (the “Issue Date”), we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with a third party (the “Lender”), for the purchase of a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $290,000. The Note carries an original issue discount of $29,000 along with a requirement to pay $16,550 in expenses. The total of $45,550 has been recorded as original issue discount. As a result, we were provided $244,500 upon the Note’s execution. The Note matures on May 10, 2022, subject to a six-month extension at our Company’s request. The Note accrues interest at 10% per annum from the Issue Date and monthly interest payments are due at the beginning of each month. In the event the Note is extended for six months, the interest will accrue at 12% per annum and, in the event of a default, interest will accrue at 20% per annum. The Note is secured by all of our Company’s assets.
The Note is convertible only upon an event of default (as defined in the Note) and is then convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 90% multiplied by the lowest trading price (i) during the previous 20 trading day period ending on the Issue Date, or (ii) during the previous 20 trading day period ending on the date of conversion of the Note (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to various adjustments, as specified in the Note. There has been no event of default to date.
While the Note is issued and outstanding, our Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved five times the number of shares that are actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the Conversion Price of the Note in effect from time to time) (the “Reserved Amount”). If, at any time we do not maintain or replenish the Reserved Amount within three business days of the request of the Lender, the principal amount of the Note will increase by $5,000 per occurrence. If we fail to maintain our status as “DTC Eligible” for any reason, or, if the Conversion Price is less than $0.01 at any time after the Issue Date, the principal amount of the Note will be increased by $5,000 and the Conversion Price will be redefined to mean 50% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined in the Note), subject to adjustments (which includes an adjustment for anti-dilutive issuances). The Note and the SPA also contain various restrictions and grant to the Lender various rights.
Upon an Event of Default, the Note will become immediately due and payable, and our Company will pay to the Lender the Default Sum (as defined in the Note) or the Default Amount (as defined in the Note).
In addition to the issuance of the Note, we were obligated to issue to the Lender, as a commitment fee,
shares of our common stock (the “Commitment Shares”). Along with the issuance of the Commitment Shares, we were required to issue to the Lender a warrant to purchase shares of our common stock (the “Warrant”). All or any part of the Warrant is immediately exercisable at $1.00 per share and expires three years from the Issue Date. The Warrants are subject to adjustments as provided in the warrant agreement. The Warrant was issued in November 2021 and the Commitment Shares were issued in February 2022.
13 |
At any time following the issuance of the Commitment Shares, the Lender may deliver to our Company a reconciliation statement showing the net proceeds actually received by the Lender from the sale of the Commitment Shares by the Lender and the shares issued upon the exercise of the Warrants (the “Reconciliation”). If, as the date of the Reconciliation, the Lender has not realized net proceeds from the sale of the Commitment Shares equal to at least $330,000, our Company will immediately take all required action necessary or required in order to cause the issuance of additional shares of our common stock to the Lender in an amount sufficient such that, when sold and the net proceeds are added to the net proceeds from previous sales of the Commitment Shares, the Lender will have received total net funds equal to $330,000.
If the Note is repaid in full on or prior to the initial maturity date (without extension), we will have the right to redeem 660,000 shares of the Commitment Shares for $0.25 per share. The Lender is subject to a leak-out provision for one year from the Issue Date that provides that it will not sell shares of our common stock greater than (i) 20,000 shares, or (ii) 20% of the average trading volume of our common stock for the five preceding trading days.
We allocated the proceeds of the Note between the Note, the Commitment Shares and the Warrant in accordance with ASC 470-20 and recorded an additional debt discount of $244,450 in connection with the transaction.
We are amortizing the debt discount over the six-month term of the Note resulting in amortization of $144,199 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, we recorded interest expense of $7,250 which is included on the accompanying Balance Sheets in Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities.
Promissory Note
On June 10, 2021, we issued a promissory note to a non-related third party in the principal amount of $5,000. The note, which is unsecured, bears interest at 20% per annum and was repayable December 10, 2021, six months from the date of issue. We are currently negotiating a settlement with the note holder, but no agreement has been reached. As such, the note is currently in default. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded interest expense of $246 which is included on the accompanying Balance Sheets in Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities.

You should not rely on forward-looking statements in this document. This management’s discussion contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We use words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “future,” “intends,” and similar expressions to identify these forward-looking statements. Prospective investors should not place undue reliance on these statements, which apply only as of the date of this document. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The following discussions are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Going Concern Considerations
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of our Company as a going concern. Through March 31, 2022, we have had nominal revenues, have incurred net losses, and have an accumulated deficit of $1,035,098. The continuation of our Company as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from any future business we may acquire. There are no assurances that we will be successful in obtaining sufficient capital to continue as a going concern. If our working capital needs are not met and we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Internal Use Software Development
We account for costs incurred to develop or purchase computer software for internal use in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40 “Internal-Use Software” or ASC 350-50 “Website Costs”. As required by ASC 350-40, we capitalize the costs incurred during the application development stage, which include costs to design the software configuration and interfaces, coding, installation, and testing.
Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage along with post-implementation stages of internal use computer software are expensed as incurred. Capitalized development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of five years, management’s estimate of the economic life. Costs incurred to maintain existing product offerings are expensed as incurred. The capitalization and ongoing assessment of recoverability of development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological and economic feasibility, and estimated economic life.
Intellectual Property
We have patent and patent pending technologies with a focus on artificial intelligence (“AI”), machine learning with optimization and Smart Deployment algorithms. It involves anticipating demand for passengers and dispatching cars in advance – to reduce wait-time, increasing utilization of vehicles, and decrease cost. It includes new and efficient system for tracking and charging customers with preferred rates, supply and demand rates, and “specific” community engagement.
Patent expenses, consisting mainly of patent filing fees, have been capitalized and are shown as an asset on our balance sheet. We amortize our Patent asset over the remaining life of the Patent, which is approximately 10 years.
17 |
Long-lived Assets
We follow ASC 360-10-15-3, Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, which established a “primary asset” approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used. Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Revenue Recognition
At our inception, we adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Under this guidance, operating revenue is recognized at the time a good or service is transferred to a customer and the customer receives the service performed. Our revenue arrangements with customers are predominantly short-term in nature involving a single performance obligation related to the delivery of the service and generally provide for transfer of control at the time payment for the service is received.
We exclude from the measurement of the transaction price, if applicable, all taxes imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by us from a customer, including sales, use, excise, value-added, and franchise taxes (collectively referred to as sales taxes). Sales taxes which may be collected are not recognized as revenue but are included in accounts payable on the balance sheets as they would ultimately be remitted to governmental authorities. No such taxes have yet been charged or collected.
We have elected the practical expedient permitted in ASC 606-10-32-18, which allows an entity to recognize the promised amount of consideration without adjusting for the effects of a significant financing component if the contract has a duration of one year or less. Our revenue arrangements are short-term in nature and do not have significant financing components, therefore we have not adjusted consideration.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we have reported $9 in deferred revenue on the accompanying Balance Sheet.
Debt Issued with Common Stock/Warrants
Debt issued with common stock/warrants is accounted for under the guidelines established by ASC 470-20 – Accounting for Debt With Conversion or Other Options. We record the relative fair value of common stock and warrants related to the issuance of debt as a debt discount or premium. The discount or premium is subsequently amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the debt.
Common Stock Issued for Services
Our accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, codified into ASC 505 Equity. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement at various performance completion dates, and for unvested instruments, at each reporting date. Compensation expense, once recorded, may not be reversed.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position and result of operations.
Trends and Uncertainties
Demand for our products is dependent on general economic conditions, which are cyclical in nature. Because a major portion of our activities are the receipt of revenues from our services and products, our business operations may be adversely affected by competitors and prolonged recessionary periods.
18 |
There are no other known trends, events or uncertainties that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our short-term or long-term liquidity. Sources of liquidity will come from the sale of our products and services. There are no material commitments for capital expenditure at this time. There are no trends, events or uncertainties that have had or are reasonably expected to have a material impact on the net sales or revenues or income from continuing operations. There are no significant elements of income or loss that do not arise from the registrant’s continuing operations. There are no other known causes for any material changes from period to period in one or more-line items of our financial statements.
Impact of COVID-19
During the years 2020 and 2021, the effects of a new coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and related actions to attempt to control its spread began to impact our business. The impact of COVID-19 on our operating results for the three-months ended March 31, 2022 was limited, in all material respects, due to the government mandated numerous measures, including closures of businesses, limitations on movements of individuals and goods, and the imposition of other restrictive measures, in its efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 within the country.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Governments around the world have mandated, and continue to introduce, orders to slow the transmission of the virus, including but not limited to shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, significant restrictions on travel, as well as work restrictions that prohibit many employees from going to work. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets.
Results of Operations for the Three-Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to the Three-Months Ended March 31, 2021
We reported no revenue for either of the three-months periods ended March 31, 2022 or 2021. Our platform is presently undergoing beta testing and we hope to launch it in the second or third quarter of this year.
Our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $354,509 compared to $18,529 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. In 2022, we incurred an expense of $310,627 related to the investor relations agreement with SRAX, Inc. as described in Note 8 to the accompanying financial statements. Also in 2022, our professional fees increased to a total of $23,047 over the 2021 period, primarily because of higher audit and legal costs and costs of a consultant under an employment agreement.
Our other income/expense for the three-months ended March 31, 2022 totaled $151,696 compared to $500 in the 2021 period. The 2022 period included debt discount amortization of $144,199 related to the convertible promissory note described in Note 6 to the accompanying financial statements. The 2022 period also included interest expense of $7,497 versus $500 in 2021, with the increase primarily related to the convertible promissory note referred to above.
Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $506,205 ($0.01 per share) compares to a net loss of $19,029 ($0.00 per share) in the previous period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have previously raised capital through debt financing, advances from related parties and private placements of our common stock to meet operating needs. In 2021, we issued promissory notes to two lenders and received $249,450 in proceeds. As of March 31, 2022, we have $29,780 in cash, but we will need to raise additional funds to execute our current plan of operation. We currently have no written commitment from anyone to contribute additional funds to our Company. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds to execute our plan of operation, we intend to scale back our operations commensurately with the funds available to us. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations.
We have no plant or significant equipment to sell, nor are we going to buy any plant or significant equipment during the next 12 months.
Balance Sheets
As of March 31, 2022, we had cash of $29,780, a prepaid expense of $23,373 related to our transaction with SRAX, Inc. and total assets of $152,881 compared with cash of $121,481, a prepaid expense of $334,000 (related to SRAX) and total assets of $505,313 as of March 31, 2021. Our total liabilities increased in the 2022 period compared to 2021 by $153,773 principally due to the amortization of debt discount of $144,199, an increase of $9 in deferred revenue, an increase in related party advances of $16,500, offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $6,935.
19 |
Cash Flows
In the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no cash flows from financing activity.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we used cash of $41,446 in our operating activities versus cash provided of $12,034 in the 2021 period. This use of cash in the 2022 period was caused by our net loss of $506,196 offset to some degree by the total non-cash items of shares issued for services, amortization of debt discount, and changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, deferred revenue and advances from related parties. In the 2021 period, our net loss of $19,029 was more than offset by an increase in related party advances.
Our investing activities used $50,255 in cash in the three-month period in 2022 primarily related to costs incurred in the development of our digital transportation platform. In the 2021 period, we used cash of $1,285 for the purchase of a computer.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity capital expenditures or capital resources.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
As a smaller reporting company, we have elected not to provide the disclosure required by this item.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, as such, is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer, Joseph Grimes who serves as our principal executive officer, and our Chief Financial Officer, Don Smith who serves as our principal accounting and financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Messrs. Grimes and Smith evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of March 31, 2022. Based on their evaluation, Messrs. Grimes and Smith concluded that, due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2022. In light of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, we completed substantive procedures, including validating the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used for accounting prior to filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
These additional procedures have allowed us to conclude that, notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during our most recent fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
