ITEM 1 – BUSINESS

 

Corporate History

 

We were incorporated under the name Imagine Media, Ltd. on August 10, 2007. From inception through early 2009, our business was to publish and distribute Image Magazine, a monthly entertainment guide for the Denver, Colorado area. We generated only limited revenue and essentially abandoned our business plan in January 2009.

 

On September 19, 2011, we, Imagine Media, Ltd., a Delaware corporation, acquired approximately 52% of the outstanding shares of TransBiotec, Inc., (“TBT”) from TBT’s directors in exchange for 12,416,462 shares of our common stock. The accounting for this transaction was identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill, or other intangibles were recorded, as the members of TransBioTec retained the majority of the outstanding common stock of Imagine Media LTD after the share exchange. These directors of TBT were Charles Bennington, Devadatt Mishal, Nicholas Limer, and Sam Satyanarayana. At the time, these shares represented approximately 52% of our outstanding common stock. TBT was a California corporation. In connection with this transaction, two of our officers resigned and Charles Bennington and Nicholas Limer were appointed as directors and as our President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer, and our Secretary, respectively, and Ronald Williams was appointed as our Chief Technology Officer.

 

On January 17, 2012, our Board of Directors amended our Certificate of Incorporation changing our name from Imagine Media, Ltd. to TransBiotec, Inc. On January 31, 2012, we acquired approximately 45% of the remaining outstanding shares of TBT in exchange for 10,973,678 shares of our common stock. In connection with this transaction, two of our directors resigned and Sam Satyanarayana, Ronald Williams and Devadatt Mishal were appointed directors. Because of the September 2011 and January 2012 acquisitions of TBT common stock, we currently own approximately 98% of the outstanding shares of TBT, and we control its Board of Directors and officer positions. The remaining approximately 2% is owned by non-affiliated individuals that did not participate in the share exchange.

Because of the acquisition, TBT’s business is our business and, unless otherwise indicated, any references to “us” or “we” include the business and operations of TBT. Due to our approximately 98% ownership of TBT, the approximately 2% non-controlling interest is combined with ours in the attached financial statements.

Business Overview

 

General

 

We have developed an alcohol detection device called “SOBR”, for which we are still performing beta testing. The device is a patented system for use in detecting alcohol in a person’s system by measuring the ethanol content in their perspiration. Once SOBR is developed and tested, we plan to market the device to four primary business segments: (i) as an aftermarket-installed device to companies and institutions that employ or contract with vehicle drivers, such as trucking companies, limousine companies, and taxi cab companies, where the system will be marketed as a preventative drunk driving detection system, with a possible ignition locking device, (ii) the original equipment manufacturing (OEM) market, where the device would be installed in new vehicles during the original building of a vehicle, (iii) companies and institutions that have an interest in monitoring their employees’ or contractors’ alcohol level due to their job responsibilities, such as surgeons prior to entering surgery, pilots prior to flying aircraft, mineworkers prior to entering a mine, or the military for personnel returning to a military base from off-base leave or prior to leaving for a mission, and (iv) companies that would want to provide knowledge to their customers of their current alcohol level, such as lounge and bar owners, or customers attending a golfing event. We believe SOBR offers a unique solution to the national alcohol abuse problem.

 

We have developed a marketing plan that our management believes will gain market recognition for the SOBR device, primarily through trade shows, industry publications, general solicitation, social media, and public relations, as well as hopefully generating the demand for the SOBR device through the use of selling groups, such as channel sales, distributors, and independent sales contractors. We believe the primary market for the in-vehicle SOBR device initially is the commercial vehicle market, such as trucking companies, taxi cab companies, Uber, Lyft, limousine companies, and bus companies. Many of these companies have a significant financial interest in eliminating drunk drivers from their operations. Secondarily, individuals may desire to monitor a family member’s vehicle, such as an automobile operated by a minor or a family member with a past alcohol issue.

 

We believe the primarily market for the portable SOBR device is its use by companies and institutions that have an interest in monitoring their employees’ or contractors’ alcohol level due to their job responsibilities, such as surgeons prior to entering surgery, pilots prior to flying aircraft, mineworkers prior to entering a mine, or the military for personnel returning to a military base from off-base leave.

 

On May 6, 2019, we signed a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement (and signed an Amendment No. 1 dated March 9, 2020, together the “ APA “) with IDTEC, LLC (“IDTEC”), under which IDTEC agreed to provide personnel, experience, and access to funding to assist with the development of our SOBR device, as well as to sell to us certain robotics assets, which our management believes are synergistic with our current assets, in exchange for shares of our common stock equal to 60% of our outstanding common stock after giving effect to a reverse stock split to be effected in connection with closing the transaction. The APA is subject to several conditions precedent, primarily: (i) we must be current in our reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) we must complete a reverse stock split of our common stock such that approximately 8,000,000 shares will be outstanding immediately prior to closing the transaction with no convertible instruments other than as set forth in the APA and our authorized common stock must be reduced to 100,000,000 shares, and (iii) we must not have more than approximately $150,000 in current liabilities. We do not believe we will close this transaction until Spring of 2020. At the time of the closing of the transaction we estimate we will have approximately 266,194,217 shares of our common stock outstanding before factoring in any reverse stock split.

In advance of closing the transaction, IDTEC and a few other affiliated parties have been (i) loaning funds directly to us, (ii) spending funds for the general costs related to the transaction, and/or (iii) spending funds to further develop and enhance the current SOBR product. We are responsible for the funds loaned directly to us regardless if we close the transaction. However, if we do not close the transaction, we are not responsible for the funds spent that were related to the transaction (except those loaned directly to us) or funds spent to further develop the SOBR product. If we do close the transaction, all the funds spent by IDTEC and its affiliates for any reason related to the transaction will be turned into promissory notes at the closing of the APA and are expected to be around $1.5 million by the time we close the transaction.

 

The description of the APA set forth in this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of that document, and the amendment to the APA, which are attached as Exhibits 10._ and 10._, respectively, to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

If the closing occurs, the assets being acquired under the APA are the same assets that were subject to the Letter of Intent with First Capital Holdings, LLC we previously announced our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on November 6, 2018.

 

Principal Products and Services

 

 

(photo of Updated SOBR sensor)

 

Our only product is SOBR. The SOBR device is a patented device for use in detecting alcohol in a person’s system by measuring the ethanol content in their perspiration and determining whether that level is over or under a preset level set by the installer or a trained technician. SOBR works by having an individual touch a sensor for approximately six seconds, the sensor is specific to ethanol. It detects ethanol secreted through sweat that emanates from the hands. The product is produced in two basic forms. The first is an in-vehicle system that can be connected to an interlock system to prevent the operation of the vehicle in the event the sensor detects measurable ethanol content. The second product is a portable unit that can be used anywhere.

Table of Contents

 

The in-vehicle unit can be in any machine, including automobiles, buses, trucks, boats and aircraft. Once the driver touches the sensor for approximately six seconds, the SOBR device detects ethanol secreted through sweat that emanates from the hands. If the vehicle is fitted with an interlock device, then the ethanol level is instantly translated into an engine “start” or “no-start” signal. SOBR can also initiate random real-time tests while the vehicle is operating to ensure that the operator’s ethanol level does not increase over the preset limit after the vehicle is started. If the system is tampered with while parked, the vehicle will not start. If the device is tampered with while driving, alarms will activate, such as the vehicle lights and horn, drawing attention to the vehicle. If a vehicle is equipped with a Global Positioning System, or Data Transmission Module, SOBR can alert fleet operators or others monitoring a vehicle of the detection of alcohol above preset levels.

 

When SOBR is installed in a vehicle, the system is virtually unnoticeable, unlike breathalyzer ignition interlock systems. SOBR requires approximately one hour to install in a vehicle. The control box can be mounted under the dash in the interior of the vehicle. In new vehicles the sensor can be installed as part of the steering wheel. In retrofits, the sensor is installed on the dashboard for easy access. We believe that our cost to manufacture a SOBR device will be approximately $100, and if the unit is installed in a vehicle the installation cost will be approximately $75. We estimate a per unit sales price range of $500 to $550, SOBR requires a semi-annual recalibration much like current smog devices. The recalibration is accomplished with a hand held device plugged into the control box and requires a trained technician approximately one hour to complete.

 

We plan to license the installation and recalibration rights to the automotive service industry.

 

The portable unit is similar in size and looks like a black, non-flip mobile telephone and can be temporarily attached to a solid fixture for more convenient usage. The portable unit can be used to test individuals before they are allowed to perform certain functions. As a portable unit the system will signal through the use of lights whether the tested individual is over a preset level. The company utilizing the device may then use the information how it sees fit.

 

Marketing

 

We have developed a marketing plan that our management believes will gain market recognition, as well as hopefully generate demand, for the SOBR device, primarily through trade shows, industry publications, general solicitation, social media, and public relations. We plan to sell the SOBR device through the use of selling groups, such as channel sales, distributors, and independent sales contractors. We believe the primary market for the in-vehicle SOBR device initially is the commercial vehicle market, such as trucking companies, taxi cab companies, limousine companies, and bus companies. Many of these companies have a significant financial interest in eliminating drunk drivers from their operations. Secondarily, individuals may desire to monitor a family member’s vehicle, such as an automobile operated by a minor or a family member with a past alcohol issue.

 

We believe the primary market for the portable SOBR device is its use by companies and institutions that have an interest in monitoring their employees’ or contractors’ alcohol level due to their job responsibilities, such as surgeons prior to entering surgery, pilots prior to flying aircraft, mineworkers prior to entering a mine, or the military for personnel returning to a military base from off-base leave.

Table of Contents

 

As a result, we initially plan to market SOBR to the voluntary, commercial market:

 

 

o

commercial transportation companies that operate tractor trailers, taxis, construction vehicles, boats, trains, aircraft and other vehicles;

 

 

o

local, state and federal government agencies that operate fire trucks, police cars and public transportation systems; and

 

 

o

individuals that desire to monitor a family member’s vehicle, such as a vehicle operated by a minor.

 

 

o

a variety of government and military employees, such as sailors in the Navy who might be tested before boarding a ship after off-base leave.

 

We plan to establish a distribution system of individuals and companies including value-added resellers (VARS), channel sales teams, and independent contractors, to sell the products to the market.

 

Manufacturing

 

We manufactured the prototype SOBR devices we have to date (approximately 10 devices) in-house from over-the-counter components. The primary part is the sensor, which is an over-the-counter sensor, which we program in-house with our proprietary programming to have the sensor perform the necessary functions in the SOBR device. Currently, we use one specific sensor from one manufacturer but we believe that we would be able to use other sensor in the event this manufacturer stopped selling the sensor we currently use.

 

Eventually, if we grow and need to mass manufacture the device, we are planning to manufacture of all components of the SOBR, as well as component assembly, through subcontracted to third parties and perform the final assembly, testing and calibration of the SOBR device at the company’s Colorado location. In order to assemble the SOBR device, a manufacturer only needs the space, manpower, and common, non-exotic equipment.

 

We are actively working with outside engineering firms for testing and validation. We are progressing and encouraged with the initial findings. We have ongoing discussions with a couple of industrial design firms to work with us on the final design for the launch of the product. We expect to complete our final internal testing in 2019 and move forward with the steps necessary to bring a much-needed product to market. We had research and development costs during the year ended December 31, 2019, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the attached financial statements.

 

Competition

 

Currently, to our knowledge, breath analyzer ignition interlocks are the only products on the market that can detect alcohol and lock the ignition system of a vehicle. There are several limitations inherent with current design of breath analyzers that can be circumvented and are invasive in their appearance and use. At present, their market is substantially made up of the mandated market (the legal market as a punitive testing device). If breath analyzer sales occur outside the mandated market, to our knowledge, that represents a much smaller sales number as percentage of business.

Table of Contents

 

We believe SOBR has the following advantages over the majority of traditional breath analyzers:

 

               

o     

Can be programmed to work during the entire operation of the vehicle without distracting the driver;

 

o

The system can be considered as non-invasive comparatively;

 

o

Easy retro fit installation;

 

o

Unobtrusive in the vehicle;

 

o

Difficult to circumvent;

 

o

Possible opportunity for the consumer to obtain insurance discounts that could offset some costs of the system. Although presently no insurance company is offering a premium discount, nor do we see that happening in the near future.

 

To date the breath analyzer companies are predominantly focused on the mandated market and are not pursuing the commercial market with the same effort.

 

Intellectual Property

 

As a portable unit, the system will signal through the use of lights that the tested individual is over a preset level.

 

When SOBR is installed in a vehicle the system is less noticeable than the most common breathalyzer ignition interlock systems. SOBR requires approximately one hour to install in a vehicle. The control box can be mounted under the dash in the interior of the vehicle. In new vehicles, the sensor can be installed as part of the steering wheel as well as many other places in the vehicle that are convenient easily assessable to the driver. In retrofits, the sensor is installed on the dashboard for easy access. We believe that our cost to manufacture a SOBR device will be approximately $100, and if the unit is installed in a vehicle, the installation cost will be approximately $75. SOBR requires a semi-annual recalibration much like current smog devices. The recalibration is accomplished with a hand held device plugged into the control box and requires a trained technician approximately one hour to complete.

 

We plan to license the installation and recalibration rights to various retail and service businesses in the automotive service industry.

 

SOBR is protected by the following two patents, filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

 

 

1.

Patent 6620108, which expires on December 26, 2021, pertains to the technology that identifies the vehicle’s operator.

 

2.

Patent 9296298, which expires on December 9, 2034, pertains to an alcohol detection system for vehicle driver testing with integral temperature compensation.

 

Since we have not generated revenue to date from any of the above patents, and we are still in the developmental stage, we expensed the patent costs; therefore, they are not recognized as intangible assets on the balance sheet.

 

Government Regulation

 

At the present time, only the judicially-mandated market is regulated. Devices sold into this market must be approved by state government agencies. Since we plan to enter this market last, we will not, initially, be subject to government regulation. However, we realize we would be subject to regulation if and when we were to enter the mandated market.

Table of Contents

 

Regarding the use in vehicles, we believe SOBR offers a unique solution to the national drunk driving problem and have been and are continuing to perform beta testing of SOBR for this use. Our objective is to grow our sales and manufacturing of SOBR by aggressively pursuing the original equipment market (“OEM”) once final beta testing is completed. We intend to seek an experienced OEM partner to introduce SOBR to the new automotive market. We believe that an increase in public awareness and consumer interest as well as potential cost savings will generate a demand for alcohol sensing technology. We hope that auto manufactures will begin installing SOBR as a factory installed option. If that happens, we expect it would occur for some time in the future. We will also market SOBR to international car manufacturers that may want to gain a market advantage over domestic auto manufacturers. We will seek to enter other markets as well, such as commercial trucking, as well as seek to have included in federal legislation a requirement that alcohol sensing devices with ignition locking systems be retrofitted in all vehicles in the U.S. France is one country that has created laws that mandate vehicles to have an alcohol detection device on all private vehicles.

 

Regarding the use in monitoring employees and contractors in certain industries, such as surgeons, pilots and the military, we are in the process of meeting with potential customers in certain identified business segments.

 

Currently, we do not have the money or funding to achieve the above goals and we will not be able to achieve our goals unless we are successful in obtaining funding through this offering and potentially future offerings as well, all which may serve to dilute the ownership position of our current and future shareholders.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2019, we have two employees, namely Kevin Moore, our Chief Executive Officer, and David Gandini, our Chief Revenue Officer. Our President and Chief Financial Officers are independent contractors.

ITEM 1A. – RISK FACTORS.

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide a statement of risk factors. However, we believe this information may be valuable to our shareholders for this filing. We reserve the right to not provide risk factors in our future filings. Our primary risk factors and other considerations include:

 

We have a limited operating history and historical financial information upon which you may evaluate our performance.

 

You should consider, among other factors, our prospects for success in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies that, like us, are in their early stages of development. We may not successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully implement our existing and new products. If we fail to do so, it could materially harm our business and impair the value of our common stock. Even if we accomplish these objectives, we may not generate the positive cash flows or profits we anticipate in the future. We were incorporated in Delaware on August 10, 2007. Our business to date business focused on developing and improving our product, filing patents, and hiring management and staff personnel. Unanticipated problems, expenses and delays are frequently encountered in establishing a new business and developing new products. These include, but are not limited to, inadequate funding, lack of consumer acceptance, competition, product development, and inadequate sales and marketing. The failure by us to meet any of these conditions would have a materially adverse effect upon us and may force us to reduce or curtail operations. No assurance can be given that we can or will ever operate profitably.

 

We may not be able to meet our future capital needs.

 

To date, we have not generated any revenue and we have limited cash liquidity and capital resources. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our ability to develop our products, cash flow from operations, and competing market developments. We will need additional capital in the near future. Any equity financings will result in dilution to our then-existing stockholders. Sources of debt financing may result in high interest expense. Any financing, if available, may be on unfavorable terms. If adequate funds are not obtained, we will be required to reduce or curtail operations.

 

If we cannot obtain additional funding, our product development and commercialization efforts may be reduced or discontinued and we may not be able to continue operations.

 

We have historically experienced negative cash flows from operations since our inception and we expect the negative cash flows from operations to continue for the foreseeable future. Unless and until we are able to generate revenues, we expect such losses to continue for the foreseeable future. As discussed in our financial statements, there exists substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Product development efforts are highly dependent on the amount of cash and cash equivalents on hand combined with our ability to raise additional capital to support our future operations through one or more methods, including but not limited to, issuing additional equity or debt.

 

In addition, we may also raise additional capital through additional equity offerings, and licensing our future products in development. While we will continue to explore these potential opportunities, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in raising sufficient capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all, or that we will be successful in licensing our future products. Based on our current projections, we believe we have insufficient cash on hand to meet our obligations as they become due based on current assumptions. The uncertainties surrounding our future cash inflows have raised substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

Current economic conditions and capital markets are in a period of disruption and instability which could adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets, and thus adversely affect our business and liquidity.

 

The current economic conditions largely caused by the coronavirus pandemic have had, and likely will continue to have for the foreseeable future, a negative impact on our ability to access the capital markets, and thus have a negative impact on our business and liquidity. The recent, substantial losses in worldwide equity markets could lead to an extended worldwide recession. We may face significant challenges if conditions in the capital markets do not improve. Our ability to access the capital markets has been and continues to be severely restricted at a time when we need to access such markets, which could have a negative impact on our business plans. Even if we are able to raise capital, it may not be at a price or on terms that are favorable to us. We cannot predict the occurrence of future disruptions or how long the current conditions may continue.

 

The coronavirus pandemic is causing disruptions in the workplace, which will have negative repercussions on our business if they continue for an extended period time.

 

We are closely monitoring the coronavirus pandemic and the directives from federal and local authorities regarding not only our workforce, but how it impacts companies we work with for the development of our SOBR device. As more states and localities implement social distancing and “work from home” regulations more and more companies will be forced to either shut down, slow down or alter their work routines. Since the development and testing of our SOBR device is a “hands on” process these alternative work arrangements could significantly slow down our anticipated schedules for the development, marketing and leasing/sale of our SOBR device, which could have a negative impact our business.

 

Because we face intense competition, we may not be able to operate profitably in our markets.

 

The market for our product is highly competitive and is becoming more so, which could hinder our ability to successfully market our products. We may not have the resources, expertise or other competitive factors to compete successfully in the future. We expect to face additional competition from existing competitors and new market entrants in the future. Many of our competitors have greater name recognition and more established relationships in the industry than we do. As a result, these competitors may be able to:

 

 

·             

develop and expand their product offerings more rapidly;

 

·

adapt to new or emerging changes in customer requirements more quickly;

 

·

take advantage of acquisition and other opportunities more readily; and

 

·

devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products and adopt more aggressive pricing policies than we can.

If our products do not gain expected market acceptance, prospects for our sales revenue may be affected.

 

We intend to use the SOBR device in the commercial market, as opposed to the judicially-mandated market. Currently, most alcohol sensing devices are breath analyzers used in the judicially-mandated market where the use is usually required by law as a punishment for committing a crime. We will be asking commercial industries, auto manufacturers, companies that have commercial vehicles as their primary business (limousine companies, taxi cab companies, truck drivers, etc.), and companies and institutions that have an interest in monitoring their employees’ or contractors’ alcohol level due to their job responsibilities (such as surgeons, pilots, and the military), to adopt a new requirement that their employees or contractors must abide in order to remain employed. While we believe this will be attractive to many companies and industries, we must achieve some level of market acceptance to be successful. If we are unable to achieve market acceptance, our investors could lose their entire investment.

 

If critical components become unavailable or contract manufacturers delay their production, our business will be negatively impacted.

 

Currently, we manufacture the limited number of SOBR™ prototype devices we have developed by applying our proprietary know-how to “off the shelf” parts and components. However, if we are successful in our growth plan, eventually we will have to contract out our manufacturing of the devices. At that time, the stability of component supply will be crucial to determining our manufacturing process. Due to the fact we currently manufacture the device from “off the shelf” parts and components, all of our critical devices and components are supplied by certain third-party manufacturers, and we may be unable to acquire necessary amounts of key components at competitive prices.

 

If we are successful in our growth, outsourcing the production of certain parts and components would be one way to reduce manufacturing costs. We plan to select these particular manufacturers based on their ability to consistently produce these products according to our requirements in an effort to obtain the best quality product at the most cost effective price. However, the loss of all or one of these suppliers or delays in obtaining shipments would have an adverse effect on our operations until an alternative supplier could be found, if one may be located at all. If we get to that stage of growth, such loss of manufacturers could cause us to breach any contracts we have in place at that time and would likely cause us to lose sales.

 

If our contract manufacturers fail to meet our requirements for quality, quantity and timeliness, our business growth could be harmed.

 

We eventually plan to outsource the manufacturing of SOBR to contract manufacturers. These manufacturers will procure most of the raw materials for us and provide all necessary facilities and labor to manufacture our products. If these companies were to terminate their agreements with us without adequate notice, or fail to provide the required capacity and quality on a timely basis, we would be delayed in our ability or unable to process and deliver our products to our customers.

 

Our products could contain defects or they may be installed or operated incorrectly, which could reduce sales of those products or result in claims against us.

 

Although we have quality assurance practices to ensure good product quality, defects still may be found in the future in our future products.

 

End-users could lose their confidence in our products and Company when they unexpectedly use defective products or use our products improperly. This could result in loss of revenue, loss of profit margin, or loss of market share. Moreover, because our products may be employed in the automotive industry, if one of our products is a cause, or perceived to be the cause, of injury or death in a car accident, we would likely be subject to a claim. If we were found responsible, it could cause us to incur liability, which could interrupt or even cause us to terminate some or all of our operations.

If we are unable to recruit and retain qualified personnel, our business could be harmed.

 

Our growth and success highly depend on qualified personnel. Competition in the industry could cause us difficulty in recruiting or retaining a sufficient number of qualified technical personnel, which could harm our ability to develop new products. If we are unable to attract and retain necessary key talents, it would harm our ability to develop competitive product and retain good customers and could adversely affect our business and operating results.

 

We may be unable to adequately protect our proprietary rights.

 

We currently have three “use” patents covering the SOBR device and one other pending with the USPTO. These are not patents over the components of the device, but instead covering the use of those components in the SOBR device. Our ability to compete partly depends on the superiority, uniqueness and value of our intellectual property. To protect our proprietary rights, we will rely on a combination of patent, copyright and trade secret laws, confidentiality agreements with our employees and third parties, and protective contractual provisions. Despite these efforts, any of the following occurrences may reduce the value of our intellectual property:

 

 

·             

Our applications for patents relating to our business may not be granted and, if granted, may be challenged or invalidated;

 

·

Issued patents may not provide us with any competitive advantages;

 

·

Our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights may not be effective in preventing misappropriation of our technology;

 

·

Our efforts may not prevent the development and design by others of products or technologies similar to or competitive with, or superior to those we develop; or

 

·

Another party may obtain a blocking patent and we would need to either obtain a license or design around the patent in order to continue to offer the contested feature or service in our products.

 

We may become involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents that would be expensive and time consuming.

 

In order to protect or enforce our patent rights, we may initiate patent litigation against third parties. In addition, we may become subject to interference or opposition proceedings conducted in patent and trademark offices to determine the priority and patentability of inventions. The defense of intellectual property rights, including patent rights through lawsuits, interference or opposition proceedings, and other legal and administrative proceedings, would be costly and divert our technical and management personnel from their normal responsibilities. An adverse determination of any litigation or defense proceedings could put our pending patent applications at risk of not being issued.

 

Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. For example, during the course of this kind of litigation, confidential information may be inadvertently disclosed in the form of documents or testimony in connection with discovery requests, depositions or trial testimony. This disclosure could have a material adverse effect on our business and our financial results.

The internal controls we utilize to produce reliable financial reports have material weaknesses. If we continue to have material weaknesses in our internal controls, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or timely or to detect fraud, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

An effective internal control environment is necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and is an important part of our effort to prevent financial fraud. We are required to periodically evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls over financial reporting. Based on these evaluations, we have concluded in this report, as well as our prior reports, that we have material weaknesses in our internal controls and enhancements, modifications, and changes to our internal controls are necessary in order to eliminate these weaknesses. There are inherent limitations on the effectiveness of internal controls, including collusion, management override, and failure of human judgment. In addition, control procedures are designed to reduce rather than eliminate business risks. If we continue to fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls we may be unable to produce reliable, timely financial reports or prevent fraud, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, including subjecting us to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any such actions could result in an adverse reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could cause the market price of our common stock to decline or limit our access to capital.

 

Our common stock has been thinly traded and we cannot predict the extent to which a trading market will develop.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets. Our common stock is thinly-traded compared to larger more widely known companies. Thinly traded common stock can be more volatile than common stock trading in an active public market. We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for our common stock will develop or be sustained.

 

We may not be able to identify, negotiate, finance or close future acquisitions.

 

One component of our growth strategy focuses on acquiring additional companies or assets. We may not, however, be able to identify, audit, or acquire companies or assets on acceptable terms, if at all. Additionally, we may need to finance all or a portion of the purchase price for an acquisition by incurring indebtedness. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing on terms that are favorable, if at all, which will limit our ability to acquire additional companies or assets in the future. Failure to acquire additional companies or assets on acceptable terms, if at all, would have a material adverse effect on our ability to increase assets, revenues and net income and on the trading price of our common Stock.

 

We may acquire businesses without any apparent synergies with our current operations of alcohol detection devices.

 

In an effort to diversify our sources of revenue and profits, we may decide to acquire businesses without any apparent synergies with our current alcohol detection device operations. For example, we believe that the acquisition of technologies unrelated to alcohol detection devices may be an important way for us to enhance our stockholder value. Notwithstanding the critical importance of diversification, some members of the investment community and research analysts would prefer that micro-cap or small-cap companies restrict the scope of their activity to a single line of business, and may not be willing to make an investment in, or recommend an investment in, a micro-cap or small-cap company that undertakes multiple lines of business. This situation could materially adversely impact our company and the trading price of our stock.

We may not be able to properly manage multiple businesses.

 

We may not be able to properly manage multiple businesses. Managing multiple businesses would be more complicated than managing a single line of business, and would require that we hire and manage executives with experience and expertise in different fields. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to do so successfully. A failure to properly manage multiple businesses could materially adversely affect our company and the trading price of our stock.

 

We may not be able to successfully integrate new acquisitions.

 

Even if we are able to acquire additional companies or assets, we may not be able to successfully integrate those companies or assets. For example, we may need to integrate widely dispersed operations with different corporate cultures, operating margins, competitive environments, computer systems, compensation schemes, business plans and growth potential requiring significant management time and attention. In addition, the successful integration of any companies we acquire will depend in large part on the retention of personnel critical to our combined business operations due to, for example, unique technical skills or management expertise. We may be unable to retain existing management, finance, engineering, sales, customer support, and operations personnel that are critical to the success of the integrated company, resulting in disruption of operations, loss of key information, expertise or know-how, unanticipated additional recruitment and training costs, and otherwise diminishing anticipated benefits of these acquisitions, including loss of revenue and profitability. Failure to successfully integrate acquired businesses could have a material adverse effect on our company and the trading price of our stock.

 

Our acquisitions of businesses may be extremely risky and we could lose all of our investments.

 

We may invest in other technology businesses or other risky industries. An investment in these companies may be extremely risky because, among other things, the companies we are likely to focus on: (1) typically have limited operating histories, narrower product lines and smaller market shares than larger businesses, which tend to render them more vulnerable to competitors’ actions and market conditions, as well as general economic downturns; (2) tend to be privately-owned and generally have little publicly available information and, as a result, we may not learn all of the material information we need to know regarding these businesses; (3) are more likely to depend on the management talents and efforts of a small group of people; and, as a result, the death, disability, resignation or termination of one or more of these people could have an adverse impact on the operations of any business that we may acquire; (4) may have less predictable operating results; (5) may from time to time be parties to litigation; (6) may be engaged in rapidly changing businesses with products subject to a substantial risk of obsolescence; and (7) may require substantial additional capital to support their operations, finance expansion or maintain their competitive position. Our failure to make acquisitions efficiently and profitably could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the trading price of our stock.

 

Future acquisitions may fail to perform as expected.

 

Future acquisitions may fail to perform as expected. We may overestimate cash flow, underestimate costs, or fail to understand risks. This could materially adversely affect our company and the trading price of our Stock.

 

Competition may result in overpaying for acquisitions.

 

Other investors with significant capital may compete with us for attractive investment opportunities. These competitors may include publicly-traded companies, private equity firms, privately held buyers, individual investors, and other types of investors. Such competition may increase the price of acquisitions, or otherwise adversely affect the terms and conditions of acquisitions. This could materially adversely affect our company and the trading price of our stock.

Table of Contents

 

We may have insufficient resources to cover our operating expenses and the expenses of raising money and consummating acquisitions.

 

We have limited cash to cover our operating expenses and to cover the expenses incurred in connection with money raising and a business combination. It is possible that we could incur substantial costs in connection with money raising or a business combination. If we do not have sufficient proceeds available to cover our expenses, we may be forced to obtain additional financing, either from our management or third parties. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all, and neither our management nor any third party is obligated to provide any financing. This could have a negative impact on our company and our stock price.

 

The nature of our proposed future operations is speculative and will depend to a great extent on the businesses which we acquire.

 

While management typically intends to seek a merger or acquisition of privately held entities with established operating histories, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in locating an acquisition candidate meeting such criteria. In the event we complete a merger or acquisition transaction, of which there can be no assurance, our success if any will be dependent upon the operations, financial condition and management of the acquired company, and upon numerous other factors beyond our control. If the operations, financial condition or management of the acquired company were to be disrupted or otherwise negatively impacted following an acquisition, our company and our stock price would be negatively impacted.

 

We may make actions that will not require our stockholders’ approval.

 

The terms and conditions of any acquisition could require us to take actions that would not require stockholder approval. In order to acquire certain companies or assets, we may issue additional shares of common or preferred stock, borrow money or issue debt instruments including debt convertible into capital stock. Not all of these actions would require our stockholders’ approval even if these actions dilute our shareholders’ economic or voting interest.

 

Our investigation of potential acquisitions will be limited.

 

Our analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of our executive officers and directors. Inasmuch as we will have limited funds available to search for business opportunities and ventures, we will not be able to expend significant funds on a complete and exhaustive investigation of such business or opportunity. We will, however, investigate, to the extent believed reasonable by our management, such potential business opportunities or ventures by conducting a so-called “due diligence investigation”. In a so-called “due diligence investigation”, we intend to obtain and review materials regarding the business opportunity. Typically such materials will include information regarding a target business’ products, services, contracts, management, ownership, and financial information. In addition, we intend to cause our officers or agents to meet personally with management and key personnel of target businesses, ask questions regarding the company’s prospects, tour facilities, and conduct other reasonable investigation of the target business to the extent of our limited financial resources and management and technical expertise. Any failure of our typical “due diligence investigation” to uncover issues and problems relating to potential acquisition candidates could materially adversely affect our company and the trading price of our stock.

Table of Contents

 

We will have only a limited ability to evaluate the directors and management of potential acquisitions.

 

We may make a determination that our current directors and officers should not remain, or should reduce their roles, following money raising or a business combination, based on an assessment of the experience and skill sets of new directors and officers and the management of target businesses. We cannot assure you that our assessment of these individuals will prove to be correct. This could have a negative impact on our company and our stock price.

 

We may be dependent on outside advisors to assist us.

 

In order to supplement the business experience of management, we may employ accountants, technical experts, appraisers, attorneys or other consultants or advisors. The selection of any such advisors will be made by management and without any control from shareholders. Additionally, it is anticipated that such persons may be engaged by us on an independent basis without a continuing fiduciary or other obligation to us.

 

We may be unable to protect or enforce the intellectual property rights of any target business that we acquire or the target business may become subject to claims of intellectual property infringement.

 

After completing a business combination, the procurement and protection of trademarks, copyrights, patents, domain names, and trade secrets may be critical to our success. We will likely rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to protect any proprietary technology and rights that we may acquire. Despite our efforts to protect those proprietary technology and rights, we may not be able to prevent misappropriation of those proprietary rights or deter independent development of technologies that compete with the business we acquire. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. It is also possible that third parties may claim we have infringed their patent, trademark, copyright or other proprietary rights. Claims or litigation, with or without merit, could result in substantial costs and diversions of resources, either of which could have an adverse effect on our competitive position and business. Further, depending on the target business or businesses that we acquire, it is likely that we will have to protect trademarks, patents, and domain names in an increasing number of jurisdictions, a process that is expensive and may not be successful in every location. These factors could negatively impact our company and the trading price of our stock.

 

Integrating acquired businesses may divert our management’s attention away from our day-to-day operations and harm our business.

 

Acquisitions generally involve significant risks, including the risk of overvaluation of potential acquisitions and risks in regard to the assimilation of personnel, operations, products, services, technologies, and corporate culture of acquired companies. Dealing with these risks may place a significant burden on our management and other internal resources. This could materially adversely affect our business and the trading price of our stock.

 

We may fail to manage our growth effectively.

 

Future growth through acquisitions and organic expansion would place a significant strain on our managerial, operational, technical, training, systems and financial resources. We can give you no assurance that we will be able to manage our expanding operations properly or cost effectively. A failure to properly and cost-effectively manage our expansion could materially adversely affect our company and the trading price of our stock.

The management of companies we acquire may lose their enthusiasm or entrepreneurship after the sale of their businesses.

 

We can give no assurance that the management of future companies we acquire will have the same level of enthusiasm for the operation of their businesses following their acquisition by us, or if they cease performing services for the acquired businesses that we will be able to install replacement management with the same skill sets and determination. There also is always a risk that management will attempt to reenter the market and possibly seek to recruit some of the former employees of the business, who may continue to be key employees of ours. This could materially adversely affect our business and the trading price of our Stock.

 

Because we are subject to the “penny stock” rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced.

 

Our common stock is traded on the OTC Markets. Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks, like shares of our common stock, generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on NASDAQ. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. Consequently, these requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security subject to the penny stock rules, and investors in our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares.

ITEM 3 ‑ LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On December 6, 2006, Orange County Valet and Security Patrol, Inc. filed a lawsuit against us in Orange County California State Superior Court for Breach of Contract in the amount of $11,164. A default judgment was taken against us in this matter. In mid-2013 we learned the Plaintiff’s perfected the judgment against us, but we have not heard from the Plaintiffs as of April 13, 2020.

 

We currently have one outstanding judgment against us involving a past employee of the Company. The matter is under the purview of the State of California, Franchise Tax Board, Industrial Health and Safety Collections. We currently owe approximately $28,786, plus accrued interest, to our ex-employee for unpaid wages under these Orders and are working to get this amount paid off.

 

In the ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations. However, in the opinion of our management, other than as set forth herein, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure relating to the market for penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. The Commission has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a few exceptions which we do not meet. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith. There are no limitations on dividends.

There have been no cash dividends declared on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Common stock dividends are not limited and are declared at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors.

Preferred Stock

 

            On August 8, 2019, we entered into an 8% Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock Investment Agreement with First Capital Ventures, LLC (“FCV”), and its assignee. We desire to raise between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 from the sale of our 8% Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and FCV intends to raise between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 (net after offering expenses) in a special purchase vehicle (“SPV”) created by FCV to purchase the 8% Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. We granted FCV and its assigns, the exclusive right to purchase the 8% Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. We agreed to pay $26,196 in legal and other expenses of the SPV subsequent to the day in which we receive a minimum of $1,000,000 from the sale of 1,000,000 shares of the 8% Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. We also agreed to cancel all shares of our issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, immediately following the closing date. Each Party shall pay their own expenses in connection with the Investment Agreement with FCV. We further agreed to issue FCV a three-year stock warrant to purchase  4,800,000  shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 0.03125 per share immediately following the closing date. We agreed to enter into a “business development” agreement with FCV, or its assignee, on the sale of the first $1,000,000 of 8% Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and also granted FCV and its assigns, the right to use the name “SOBR SAFE” and any related intellectual property in connection with the SPV, and the offering of the Interests in the SPV. In accordance with the August 8, 2019, Investment Agreement with FCV, on December 9, 2019, our Board of Directors created a class of preferred stock designated as 8% Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock comprising of 2,000,000 shares.  The rights and preferences of the 8% Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock are as follows:  (a) dividend rights of 8% per annum based on the original issuance price of $1 per share, (b) liquidation preference over our common stock, (c) conversion rights into shares of our common stock at $1 per share (not to be affected by any reverse stock split in connection with the IDTEC APA), (d) redemption rights such that we have the right, upon thirty (30) days written notice, at any time after one year from the date of issuance, to redeem the all or part of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock for 150% of the original issuance price, (e) no call rights by us, and (f) each share of Series A Convertible Preferred stock will vote on an “as converted” basis. On December 12, 2019, we entered into a Series A-1 Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with SOBR SAFE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an entity controlled by Gary Graham, one of our Directors (“SOBR SAFE”), under which SOBR SAFE agreed to acquire One Million (1,000,000) shares of our Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”), in exchange for One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Purchase Price”). We received the Purchase Price on December 12, 2019.  In connection with the closing of the SPA, holders of our common stock representing approximately 52% of our then-outstanding common stock and voting rights signed irrevocable proxies to Gary Graham and/or Paul Spieker for the purpose of allowing Mr. Graham and/or Mr. Spieker to vote those shares on any matters necessary to close the transaction that is the subject of the certain Asset Purchase Agreement May 6, 2019, as amended.

Our Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock earns cumulative dividends at a rate of 8% per annum, payable in cash or common stock at the option of the Company on June 30 and December 31 of each year. If paid in common stock, the common stock will be valued at the average of the closing price for the five business days prior to the dividend payment date. The Preferred shareholders will participate in any common stock dividends on an as converted basis. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had no issued shares of its 8% Series A-1 Convertible Preferred stock, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, no dividends have been declared for holders of the 8% Series A-1 Convertible Preferred stock.

 

On November 20, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a class of stock designated as preferred stock with a par value of $0.00001 per share comprising 25,000,000 shares, 3,000,000 shares of which were classified as Series A Convertible Preferred stock. In each calendar year, the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if, declared by the Board of Directors, out of any of our funds and assets legally available, non-cumulative dividends, in an amount equal to any dividends or other Distribution on the common stock in such calendar year (other than a Common Stock Dividend). No dividends (other than a Common Stock Dividend) shall be paid and no distribution shall be made with respect to the common stock unless dividends shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment to the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock simultaneously. Dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred stock shall not be mandatory or cumulative, and no rights or interest shall accrue to the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock by reason of the fact that we shall fail to declare or pay dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred stock, except for such rights or interest that may arise as a result of us paying a dividend or making a distribution on the common stock in violation of the terms. The holders of each share of Series A Convertible Preferred stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid, out of the Available Funds and Assets, and prior and in preference to any payment or Distribution (or any setting part of any payment or Distribution) of any Available Funds and Assets on any shares of common stock, and equal in preference to any payment or Distribution (or any setting part of any payment or Distribution) of any Available Funds and Assets on any shares of any other series of preferred stock that have liquidation preference, an amount per share equal to the Original Issue Price of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock plus all declared but unpaid dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred stock. A reorganization, or any other consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation, or any other sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, shall not be deemed a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the company. Shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock are convertible at a 35% discount rate to the average closing price per share of our common stock (either as listed on a national exchange or as quoted over-the-market) for the last fifteen (15) trading days immediately prior to conversion. However, no conversions of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock to shares of common stock can occur unless the average closing price per share of our common stock (either as listed on a national exchange or as quoted over-the-market) for the last fifteen (15) trading days immediately prior to conversion is at least five cents ($0.05). The shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock vote on an “as converted” basis. The right of conversion is limited by the fact the holder of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock may not convert if such conversion would cause the holder to beneficially own more than 4.9% of our common stock after giving effect to such conversion.

 

As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had 0 and 1,388,575 issued shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred stock, respectively.

 

As a condition of the 8% Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock agreement, the outstanding shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred stock were cancelled as of December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, no dividends were declared for holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock.

Overview

 

We have developed an alcohol detection device called “SOBR”, for which we are still performing beta testing. The device is a patented system for use in detecting alcohol in a person’s system by measuring the ethanol content in their perspiration. Once SOBR is developed and tested, we plan to market the device to four primary business segments: (i) as an aftermarket-installed device to companies and institutions that employ or contract with vehicle drivers, such as trucking companies, limousine companies, and taxi cab companies, where the system will be marketed as a preventative drunk driving detection system, with a possible ignition locking device, (ii) the original equipment manufacturing (OEM) market, where the device would be installed in new vehicles during the original building of a vehicle, (iii) companies and institutions that have an interest in monitoring their employees’ or contractors’ alcohol level due to their job responsibilities, such as surgeons prior to entering surgery, pilots prior to flying aircraft, mineworkers prior to entering a mine, or the military for personnel returning to a military base from off-base leave or prior to leaving for a mission, and (iv) companies that would want to provide knowledge to their customers of their current alcohol level, such as lounge and bar owners, or customers attending a golfing event. We believe SOBR offers a unique solution to the national alcohol abuse problem.

 

We have developed a marketing plan that our management believes will gain market recognition for the SOBR device, primarily through trade shows, industry publications, general solicitation, social media, and public relations, as well as hopefully generating the demand for the SOBR device through the use of selling groups, such as channel sales, distributors, and independent sales contractors. We believe the primary market for the in-vehicle SOBR device initially is the commercial vehicle market, such as trucking companies, taxi cab companies, Uber, Lyft, limousine companies, and bus companies. Many of these companies have a significant financial interest in eliminating drunk drivers from their operations. Secondarily, individuals may desire to monitor a family member’s vehicle, such as an automobile operated by a minor or a family member with a past alcohol issue.

 

We believe the primarily market for the portable SOBR device is its use by companies and institutions that have an interest in monitoring their employees’ or contractors’ alcohol level due to their job responsibilities, such as surgeons prior to entering surgery, pilots prior to flying aircraft, mineworkers prior to entering a mine, or the military for personnel returning to a military base from off-base leave.

 

On May 6, 2019, we signed a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with IDTEC, LLC, to acquire certain assets related to robotics equipment, which our management believes is synergistic with our current assets, from IDTEC in exchange for shares of our common stock equal to 60% of our then outstanding common stock. The APA is subject to several conditions precedent, primarily: (i) we must be current in our reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) we must complete a reverse stock split of our common stock such that approximately 8,000,000 shares will be outstanding immediately prior to closing the transaction with no convertible instruments other than as set forth in the APA and our authorized common stock must be reduced to 100,000,000 shares, and (iii) we must not have more than approximately $150,000 in current liabilities. We do not believe we will close this transaction until spring 2020. At the time of the closing of the transaction we estimate we will have approximately 257,000,000 shares of our common stock outstanding before factoring in any reverse stock split.

Table of Contents

 

In advance of closing the transaction, IDTEC and a few other affiliated parties have been advancing funds to us and/or on our behalf for the costs related to the transaction, as well as for further developing and enhancing our current SOBR product. The funds advanced will be turned into promissory notes at the closing of the APA and are expected to be around $1 million by the time we close the transaction.

 

The description of the APA set forth in this Quarterly Report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of that document, which is attached as Exhibit 10.6 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

If the closing occurs, the assets being acquired under the APA are the same assets that were subject to the Letter of Intent with First Capital Holdings, LLC we previously announced in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 6, 2018.

 

Corporate Overview

 

We were formed in August 2007 to publish and distribute Image Magazine, a monthly guide and entertainment source for the Denver, Colorado area. We generated only limited revenue and essentially abandoned its business plan in January 2009. On September 19, 2011, we acquired approximately 52% of the outstanding shares of TBT from TBT’s directors in exchange for 12,416,462 shares of our common stock.

 

On January 31, 2012, we acquired approximately 45% of the remaining outstanding shares of TBT in exchange for 10,973,678 shares of our common stock.

 

With the acquisitions in September 2011 and January 2012 we own approximately 98% of the outstanding shares of TBT.

 

As a result of the acquisition, TBT’s business is our business, and, unless otherwise indicated, any references to “we” or “us” include the business and operations of TBT.

 

TBT, as the accounting acquirer in the transaction, recorded the acquisition as the issuance of stock for our net monetary assets accompanied by a recapitalization. This accounting for the transaction was identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded.

 

We have developed and patented a high technology, state-of-the-art transdermal sensing system that detects blood alcohol levels through a person’s skin.

Operating Loss; Net Loss

 

            Our net loss increased by $ 690,034, from $562,123 to $1,252,157 from the year ended 2018 compared to 2019.  Our operating loss increased by $488,342, from $298,951 to $787,293 for the same period.  The change in our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to the prior year, is primarily a result of a increase in our general and administrative expenses and an increase in our interest expense.  These changes are detailed below.

 

Revenue

 

We have not had any revenues since our inception. Since September 2011, we have been involved in the development, testing and marketing of the SOBR device, our unique alcohol sensing technology. Although we have not had any sales to date, we believe we are close to our first sales and revenue, but we believe that will be dependent upon on our ability to raise sufficient money to bring the SOBR device to market.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses increased by $488,342, from $298,951 for the year ended December 31, 2018 to $787,293 for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to costs we incurred to ramp up operations in anticipation of bringing our SOBR device to market, and in legal an audit fees necessary to get our past periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission so we could get current in our reporting obligations.

Table of Contents

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense increased by $194,413 to $457,505 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $263,092 in 2018. The increase relates to the fact we incurred additional interest expense and stock warrants related to outstanding debt obligations in 2019.

 

Gain (Loss) on Fair Value Adjustment - Derivatives

 

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we incurred a gain on fair value adjustment – derivative of $4,150, compared to not incurring a gain or loss on fair value adjustment – derivatives for the year ended December 31, 2018. Our gain on fair value adjustment – derivatives in 2019 was due to us having convertible notes payable that contain an embedded derivative. We did not have such financial instruments in 2018.

 

Amortization – Debt Discount

 

During the year ended December 31, 2019, our amortization – debt discount was $5,920, compared to $80 during the year ended December 31, 2018. The expense is due to the amortization of a discount on a convertible non-related party note payable that contains a beneficial conversion feature. The increase is due to the full amortization of the non-related party note payable discount in 2019.

 

Amortization of Interest – Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

During the year ended December 31, 2019, our amortization – beneficial conversion feature was $5,589, compared to none during the year ended December 31, 2018. The expense is due to the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature related to anti-dilutive preferred stock sold in December 2019.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Introduction

 

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, because of our operating losses, we did not generate positive operating cash flows. Our cash on hand as of December 31, 2019 was $681,759 and our monthly cash flow burn rate is approximately $25,000. We are currently satisfying our cash needs from proceeds from the sales of our securities. We currently do not believe we will be able to satisfy our cash needs from our revenues for some time and there is no guarantee we will be successful in the future satisfying these needs through the proceeds from the sales of our securities.

 

Our cash, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, and total liabilities as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, are as follows:

Our current assets and total assets increased by $677,733 as of December 31, 2019 as compared to December 31, 2018. The increase in our current assets and total assets between the two periods was largely due to the $1,000,000 we raised from the sale of our 8% Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock in December 2019.

 

Our current liabilities and total liabilities increased by $$847,423 as of December 31, 2019 as compared to December 31, 2018. This decrease was primarily due to a significant increase in our preferred stock subscriptions payable and increases in our accounts payable and accrued interest payable, derivative liabilities and notes payable – current – related party, offset by a significant decrease in our related party payables. The significant decrease in our related party payables in 2019 was largely due to the conversion of a portion of those payables into shares of our common stock. The increase in our preferred stock subscriptions payable is due to the Company not issuing the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock when the $1,000,000 of cash from the offering was received. The increases in our notes payable – current – related parties and accrued interest payable were largely due to increases in amount we borrowed from related parties in 2019.

 

In order to repay our obligations in full or in part when due, we will be required to raise significant capital from other sources. There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in these efforts.

 

Cash Requirements

 

We had cash available as of December 31, 2019 of $681,759 and $89 on December 31, 2018. Based on our operating cash flow estimates, cash on hand and current monthly burn rate of approximately $75,000, we believe we have sufficient cash on hand for 6-8 months of operations, but we will need to continue borrowing from our shareholders and other related parties, and/or raise money from the sales of our securities, to fund future operations.

 

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this Annual Report. Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, we are not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on our results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2020. However, if the pandemic continues, it will have an adverse effect on our results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity in year 2020.

 

Sources and Uses of Cash

 

Operations

 

We had net cash used for operating activities of $543,956 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $61,353 for the year ended December 31, 2018.  In 2019, the net cash used for operating activities consisted primarily of our net loss of $1,252,157 and change in fair value of derivative liability of ($4,150), interest expense – debt discount of $64,800, stock warrants expense of $159,961, stocks options expense of $95,567, amortization – debt discount of $5,920, amortization of interest – beneficial conversion feature of $5,589, stock based-compensation expense of $44,082 in addition to changes in assets and liabilities of accounts payable of $22,166, accrued expenses of ($1,165), common stock subscriptions payable of $78,353, accrued interest payable of $160,772, related party payables of $72,369, and prepaid expenses of $3,937.  In 2018, the net cash used for operating activities consisted primarily of our net loss of $558,965, stock warrants expense of $41,596, stocks options expense of $4,500, amortization of interest-beneficial conversion feature of $80 and stock-based compensation of $20,808, in addition to changes in assets and liabilities of accounts payable of $79,137, accrued expenses of $75,322, stock subscriptions payable of $1,271, accrued interest payable of $154,816, related party payables of $425,995, and prepaid expenses of $3,006.

Investments

 

We did not have any cash used for investing activities in the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

Financing

 

Our net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $1,225,626, compared to $61,300 for the year ended December 31, 2018. For 2019, our financing activities related to proceeds from offering of preferred stock – related parties of $1,000,000, proceeds from issuances of common stock – non-related parties of $39,000, and proceeds from notes payable – related parties of $186,626. For 2018, our financing activities related to proceeds from notes – related parties of $55,300 and proceeds from notes payable – non-related parties of $6,000.

  

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of our audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures require our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the audited consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. We base such estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

 

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K, we believe that the following accounting policies are those most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of audited consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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 period. Specifically, such estimates were made by the Company for the valuation of derivative liability, stock compensation and beneficial conversion feature expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  

Concentration of Credit Risk

Certain financial instruments potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Cash held in operating accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, insurance limits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. While the Company monitors cash balances in our operating accounts on a regular basis and adjust the balances as appropriate, these balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to our cash; however, the Company can provide no assurances that access to our cash will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $431,759 and $0 in excess of the FDIC insured limit, respectively.

Financial Instruments

Pursuant to ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 and 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 and 825 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets: quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

 

Level 3

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued interest payable, notes payable, related party payables, convertible debentures, and other payables. Pursuant to ASC 820 and 825, the fair value of our derivative liabilities is determined based on “Level 3” inputs. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

Beneficial Conversion Features

From time to time, the Company may issue convertible notes that may contain an embedded beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of the warrants, if related warrants have been granted. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid-in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method.

 

Derivative Instruments

The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under current liabilities. Changes in fair value are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations under other income (expense).

 

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the embedded conversion option at its fair value as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. As a result of entering into warrant agreements, for which such instruments contained a variable conversion feature with no floor, the Company has adopted a sequencing policy in accordance with ASC 815-40-35-12 whereby all future instruments may be classified as a derivative liability with the exception of instruments related to share-based compensation issued to employees or directors. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a Monte Carlo Simulation model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instruments are initially recorded at their fair values and are then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Stock-based Compensation

The Company follows the guidance of the accounting provisions of ASC 718 Share-based Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the use of the fair-value based method to determine compensation for all arrangements under which employees and others receive shares of stock or equity instruments (warrants and options). The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model that uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. The Company has not paid dividends historically and does not expect to pay them in the future. Expected volatilities are based on weighted averages of the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock estimated over the expected term of the options. The expected term of options granted is derived using the “simplified method” which computes expected term as the average of the sum of the vesting term plus the contract term as historically the Company had limited activity surrounding its options. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the period of the expected term.

New Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires a lessee to recognize most leases on its balance sheet. For leases with terms of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. This lease standard was effective for public business entities for periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The standard’s modified retrospective transition approach will require entities to reflect the effect to reflect the effect in the earliest year presented in the financial statements. In March 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-01, Codification Improvements to Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments in this ASU contain improvements and clarifications of certain guidance in Topic 842. The new amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (i.e. a January 1, 2020 effective date). Management adopted the provisions of this statement and took them into account in the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company has only short-term leases and is therefore is not required to recognize a right of use asset on its balance sheet.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Scope of Modification Accounting, clarifies Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires a company to apply modification accounting to changes in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award unless all of the following criteria are met: (1) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. The ASU indicates that if the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique used to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification; (2) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the modification; and (3) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the modification. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. Management adopted the provisions of this statement and took them into account in the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU-2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. The first part of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features and the second part addresses the complexity of distinguishing equity from liabilities. ASU 2017-11 eliminates the requirement that a down round feature precludes equity classification when assessing whether an instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. A freestanding equity-linked financial instrument no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. A company will recognize the value of a down round feature only when it is triggered, and the strike price has been adjusted downward. For equity-classified freestanding financial instruments, an entity will treat the value of the effect of the down round as a dividend and a reduction of income available to Common Stockholders in computing basic earnings per share. For convertible instruments with embedded conversion features containing down round provisions, entities will recognize the value of the down round as a beneficial conversion discount to be amortized to earnings. Under current GAAP, an equity-linked financial instrument with a down round feature that otherwise is not required to be classified as a liability under the guidance in Topic 480 is evaluated under the guidance in Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to determine whether it meets the definition of a derivative. If it meets that definition, the instrument (or embedded feature) is evaluated to determine whether it is indexed to an entity’s own stock as part of the analysis of whether it qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting. Generally, for warrants and conversion options embedded in financial instruments that are deemed to have a debt host (assuming the underlying shares are readily convertible to cash or the contract provides for net settlement such that the embedded conversion option meets the definition of a derivative), the existence of a down round feature results in an instrument not being considered indexed to an entity’s own stock. This results in a reporting entity being required to classify the freestanding financial instrument or the bifurcated conversion option as a liability, which the entity must measure at fair value initially and at each subsequent reporting date. The amendments in this Update revise the guidance for instruments with down round features in Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, which is considered in determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting. An entity still is required to determine whether instruments would be classified in equity under the guidance in Subtopic 815-40 in determining whether they qualify for that scope exception. If they do qualify, freestanding instruments with down round features are no longer classified as liabilities and embedded conversion options with down round features are no longer bifurcated. The effective date for ASU 2017-11 is for annual or any interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The guidance is applicable to public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years. Management adopted the provisions of this statement and took them into account in the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. The amendments in this update provide guidance on when to record and disclose provisional amounts for certain income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform Act”). The amendments also require any provisional amounts or subsequent adjustments to be included in net income from continuing operations. Additionally, this ASU discusses required disclosures that an entity must make with regard to the Tax Reform Act. This ASU is effective immediately as new information is available to adjust provisional amounts that were previously recorded. Management adopted the provisions of this statement and took them into account in the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company currently has no revenue and only net operating loss carryforwards that result in a tax benefit. The Company has no deferred tax assets (offset in full by a valuation allowance) or tax liabilities on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update is intended to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for share-based payments issued to non-employees (for example, service providers, external legal counsel, suppliers, etc.). The ASU expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which currently only includes share-based payments issued to employees, to also include share-based payments issued to non-employees for goods and services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to non-employees and employees will be substantially aligned. The standard will be applied in a retrospective approach for each period presented. Management adopted the provisions of this statement and took them into account in the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

In July 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-07, Codification Updates to SEC Sections. The ASU clarifies or improves the disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of codification topics by aligning them with the SEC’s regulations, thereby eliminating redundancies and making the codification easier to apply. Management adopted the provisions of this statement and took them into account in the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s reported consolidated financial results.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within ASC 740, Income Taxes, and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Most amendments within the standard are required to be applied on a prospective basis, while certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The Company is evaluating the effects, if any, of the adoption of ASU 2019-12 guidance on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

ITEM 9 ‑ CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

Effective on February 13, 2019 and with the approval of our Board of Directors, we dismissed Benjamin & Young, LLP (“Benjamin”) as our independent registered public accounting firm engaged to audit our financial statements.

 

Since we dismissed Benjamin as our independent auditor, the Board of Directors appointed Hall & Company (“Hall”) as our independent auditor, effective February 13, 2019. Hall audited our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

On February 26, 2019, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K which disclosed all the required information regarding the engagement of Hall, and the dismissal of Benjamin, which is incorporated by reference in this Annual Report.

   

ITEM 9A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined) in Exchange Act Rules 13a – 15(c) and 15d – 15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who are our principal executive officer and principal financial officers, respectively, concluded that, as of the end of the period ended December 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective (1) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to us, including our chief executive and chief financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our Principal Accounting Officer) do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. No matter how well conceived and operated, our disclosure controls and procedures can provide only a reasonable level of assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

Furthermore, smaller reporting companies face additional limitations. Smaller reporting companies employ fewer individuals and find it difficult to properly segregate duties. Often, one or two individuals control every aspect of the company’s operation and are in a position to override any system of internal control. Additionally, smaller reporting companies tend to utilize general accounting software packages that lack a rigorous set of software controls.

(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our Principal Financial Officer), and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and any disposition of our assets;

 

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

  

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, Management has identified the following three material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of December 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:

 

1. We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

 

2. We have not documented our internal controls. We have limited policies and procedures that cover the recording and reporting of financial transactions and accounting provisions. As a result, we may be delayed in our ability to calculate certain accounting provisions. While we believe these provisions are accounted for correctly in the attached audited financial statements, our lack of internal controls could lead to a delay in our reporting obligations. We were required to provide written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting beginning with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

Table of Contents

 

3. Effective controls over the control environment were not maintained. Specifically, a formally adopted written code of business conduct and ethics that governs our employees, officers, and directors was not in place. Additionally, management has not developed and effectively communicated to our employees its accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, our Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.

 

To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

(c) Remediation of Material Weaknesses

 

In order to remediate the material weakness in our documentation, evaluation and testing of internal controls, we hope to hire additional qualified and experienced personnel to assist us in remedying these material weaknesses.

 

(d) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

In October 2019, we hired Kevin Moore to be our Chief Executive Officer and David Gandini to be our Chief Revenue Officer. Mr. Gandini in his position as Chief Revenue Officer is assisting our Chief Financial Officer with our banking requirements. As a result, we have placed additional controls and authorizations over our check writing and cash disbursements.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

Our directors and executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

 

 

1.

Other than the involuntary bankruptcy proceeding mentioned herein, no bankruptcy petition has been filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

Committees

 

Our Board of Directors held on in-person meeting during the year ended December 31, 2019, which occurred on November 22, 2019. All other proceedings of the Board of Directors for the year ended December 31, 2019 were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by the Board of Directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of our Board of Directors. Our company currently does not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our Board of Directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because it believes that the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the Board of Directors.

 

We do not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The Board of Directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the Board of Directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The Board of Directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.

 

A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our Board of Directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our president at the address appearing on the first page of this annual report.

 

Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

Our Board of Directors has determined that it does not have an audit committee member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. We believe that the audit committee members are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated revenues to date.

 

Nomination Procedures For Appointment of Directors

 

As of December 31, 2019, we did not effect any material changes to the procedures by which our stockholders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We do not have a code of ethics.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s directors and executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

 

We have not entered into or been a participant in any transaction in which a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest in an amount that exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of the Company’s total assets for the last three completed fiscal years.

 

We do not have a written policy concerning the review, approval, or ratification of transactions with related persons.

 

We do not have an audit, compensation, or nominating committee.

 

Currently, none of our directors are considered independent. Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship that, in the opinion of the company’s Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

 

 

·             

the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;

 

 

 

 

·

the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);

 

 

 

 

·

a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company;

 

 

 

 

·

the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions);

 

 

 

 

·

the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or

 

 

 

 

·

the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.

 

 

 

 

 

None of our directors are considered independent because they each serve as an executive officer of the Company, or recently served as an executive officer of the company, or own more than 10% of our outstanding voting securities.

On May 6, 2019, we signed a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement (and signed an Amendment No. 1 dated March 9, 2020, together the “ APA “) with IDTEC, LLC (“IDTEC”), under which IDTEC agreed to provide personnel, experience, and access to funding to assist with the development of our SOBR device, as well as to sell to us certain robotics assets, which our management believes are synergistic with our current assets, in exchange for shares of our common stock equal to 60% of our outstanding common stock after giving effect to a reverse stock split to be effected in connection with closing the transaction. Several of the principals of IDTEC are our current officers and directors. The APA is subject to several conditions precedent, primarily: (i) we must be current in our reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) we must complete a reverse stock split of our common stock such that approximately 8,000,000 shares will be outstanding immediately prior to closing the transaction with no convertible instruments other than as set forth in the APA and our authorized common stock must be reduced to 100,000,000 shares, and (iii) we must not have more than approximately $150,000 in current liabilities. We do not believe we will close this transaction until Spring of 2020.

The description of the APA set forth in this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of that document, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

In the above table, “audit fees” are fees billed by our company’s external auditor for services provided in auditing our company’s annual financial statements for the subject year. “Audit-related fees” are fees not included in audit fees that are billed by the auditor for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit review of our company’s financial statements. “Tax fees” are fees billed by the auditor for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. “All other fees” are fees billed by the auditor for products and services not included in the foregoing categories.

 

Policy on Pre-Approval by Audit Committee of Services Performed by Independent Auditors

 

The Board of Directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors before the respective services were rendered.

 

The Board of Directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by Hall & Company and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining Hall & Company’s independence.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the shareholders and the board of directors of TransBiotec Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TransBiotec Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as 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, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Substantial Doubt About the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a working capital deficit and stockholders’ deficit, and in all likelihood, will be required to make significant future expenditures in connection with continuing marketing efforts along with general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $19,511,168, carrying loans of principal and interest in default totaling $1,440,193. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company also experienced negative cash flows from operating activities of $543,956. It appears these principal conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, indicate it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated 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 audits. 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 the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits 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 audits 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 opinion.

 

Our audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2018

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2019

  

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES    

 

TransBiotec, Inc. (“TransBiotec – DE”), formerly Imagine Media LTD., was incorporated August, 2007 in the State of Delaware. A corporation also named TransBiotec, Inc. (“TransBiotec – CA”) was formed in the state of California July 4, 2004. Effective September 19, 2011 TransBiotec - DE was acquired by TransBiotec - CA in a transaction classified as a reverse acquisition as the shareholders of TransBiotec - CA retained the majority of the outstanding common stock of TransBiotec - DE after the share exchange. The financial statements represent the activity of TransBiotec - CA from July 4, 2004 forward, and the consolidated activity of TransBiotec - DE and TransBiotec - CA from September 19, 2011 forward. TransBiotec - DE and TransBiotec - CA are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Company” or “We”. The Company has developed and plans to market and sell a non-invasive alcohol sensing system which includes an ignition interlock. The Company has not generated any revenues from its operations.

 

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as promulgated in the United States of America and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the presentation of annual financial information.

 

In management’s opinion, the audited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (including reclassifications and normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiary, TransBiotec-CA. We have eliminated all intercompany transactions and balances between entities consolidated in these audited financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of audited consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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 period. Specifically, such estimates were made by the Company for the valuation of derivative liability, stock compensation and beneficial conversion feature expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2019

 

Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. The Company does not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

Certain financial instruments potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Cash held in operating accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, insurance limits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. While the Company monitors cash balances in our operating accounts on a regular basis and adjust the balances as appropriate, these balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to our cash; however, the Company can provide no assurances that access to our cash will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $431,759 and $0 in excess of the FDIC insured limit, respectively.

 

Preferred Stock

We apply the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” when determining the classification and measurement of preferred stock. Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. We classify conditionally redeemable preferred shares (if any), which includes preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control, as temporary equity. At all other times, we classified our preferred shares in stockholders’ equity.

 

Income Tax

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740. Under ASC 740 deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company has a deferred tax asset of approximately $1,832,000 and $1,244,000 that is offset by a 100% valuation allowance at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Therefore, the Company has not recorded any deferred tax assets or liabilities at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Net Loss Per Share

The basic and fully diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

 

Financial Instruments 

Pursuant to ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 and 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 and 825 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets: quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

 

Level 3

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued interest payable, notes payable, related party payables, convertible debentures, and other payables. Pursuant to ASC 820 and 825, the fair value of our derivative liabilities is determined based on “Level 3” inputs. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

Beneficial Conversion Features

From time to time, the Company may issue convertible notes that may contain a beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of the warrants, if related warrants have been granted. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid-in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method.

 

Derivative Instruments

The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under current liabilities. Changes in fair value are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations under other income (expense).

 

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the embedded conversion option at its fair value as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. As a result of entering into warrant agreements, for which such instruments contained a variable conversion feature with no floor, the Company has adopted a sequencing policy in accordance with ASC 815-40-35-12 whereby all future instruments may be classified as a derivative liability with the exception of instruments related to share-based compensation issued to employees or directors. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a Monte Carlo Simulation model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2019

 

The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instruments are initially recorded at their fair values and are then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Stock-based Compensation

The Company follows the guidance of the accounting provisions of ASC 718 Share-based Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the use of the fair-value based method to determine compensation for all arrangements under which employees and others receive shares of stock or equity instruments (warrants and options). The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model that uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. The Company has not paid dividends historically and does not expect to pay them in the future. Expected volatilities are based on weighted averages of the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock estimated over the expected term of the options. The expected term of options granted is derived using the “simplified method” which computes expected term as the average of the sum of the vesting term plus the contract term as historically the Company had limited activity surrounding its options. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the period of the expected term.

 

In applying the Black-Scholes options-pricing model, assumptions used were as follows: 

 

 

 

2019

 

Dividend yield

 

 

0 %

Expected volatility

 

  133% - 146

Risk free interest rate

 

  1.61 - 1.70

%

Expected life

 

  2.00 - 7.17 years

 

  

Minority Interest (Noncontrolling Interest)

A subsidiary of the Company has minority members representing ownership interests of 1.38% at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company accounts for these minority, or noncontrolling interests, pursuant to ASC 810-10-65 whereby gains and losses in a subsidiary with a noncontrolling interest are allocated to the noncontrolling interest based on the ownership percentage of the noncontrolling interest, even if that allocation results in a deficit noncontrolling interest balance.

Research and Development

The Company accounts for its research and development costs pursuant to ASC 730, whereby it requires the Company to disclose the amounts of costs for company and customer-sponsored research and development activities, if material. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred research and development costs as it acquired new knowledge to bring about significant improvements in the functionality and design of its SOBR product. Research and development costs were $12,787 and $8,855 during the year ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

Related Parties

Related parties are any entities or individuals that, through employment, ownership or other means, possess the ability to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Company.

 

New Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires a lessee to recognize most leases on its balance sheet. For leases with terms of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. This lease standard was effective for public business entities for periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The standard’s modified retrospective transition approach will require entities to reflect the effect to reflect the effect in the earliest year presented in the financial statements. In March 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-01, Codification Improvements to Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments in this ASU contain improvements and clarifications of certain guidance in Topic 842. The new amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (i.e. a January 1, 2020 effective date). Management adopted the provisions of this statement and took them into account in the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company has only short-term leases and is therefore is not required to recognize a right of use asset or related liability on its balance sheet.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Scope of Modification Accounting, clarifies Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires a company to apply modification accounting to changes in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award unless all of the following criteria are met: (1) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. The ASU indicates that if the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique used to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification; (2) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the modification; and (3) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the modification. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. Management adopted the provisions of this statement and took them into account in the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

DECEMBER 31, 2019

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU-2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. The first part of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features and the second part addresses the complexity of distinguishing equity from liabilities. ASU 2017-11 eliminates the requirement that a down round feature precludes equity classification when assessing whether an instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. A freestanding equity-linked financial instrument no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. A company will recognize the value of a down round feature only when it is triggered, and the strike price has been adjusted downward. For equity-classified freestanding financial instruments, an entity will treat the value of the effect of the down round as a dividend and a reduction of income available to Common Stockholders in computing basic earnings per share. For convertible instruments with embedded conversion features containing down round provisions, entities will recognize the value of the down round as a beneficial conversion discount to be amortized to earnings. Under current GAAP, an equity-linked financial instrument with a down round feature that otherwise is not required to be classified as a liability under the guidance in Topic 480 is evaluated under the guidance in Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to determine whether it meets the definition of a derivative. If it meets that definition, the instrument (or embedded feature) is evaluated to determine whether it is indexed to an entity’s own stock as part of the analysis of whether it qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting. Generally, for warrants and conversion options embedded in financial instruments that are deemed to have a debt host (assuming the underlying shares are readily convertible to cash or the contract provides for net settlement such that the embedded conversion option meets the definition of a derivative), the existence of a down round feature results in an instrument not being considered indexed to an entity’s own stock. This results in a reporting entity being required to classify the freestanding financial instrument or the bifurcated conversion option as a liability, which the entity must measure at fair value initially and at each subsequent reporting date. The amendments in this Update revise the guidance for instruments with down round features in Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, which is considered in determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting. An entity still is required to determine whether instruments would be classified in equity under the guidance in Subtopic 815-40 in determining whether they qualify for that scope exception. If they do qualify, freestanding instruments with down round features are no longer classified as liabilities and embedded conversion options with down round features are no longer bifurcated. The effective date for ASU 2017-11 is for annual or any interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The guidance is applicable to public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years. Management adopted the provisions of this statement and took them into account in the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. The amendments in this update provide guidance on when to record and disclose provisional amounts for certain income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform Act”). The amendments also require any provisional amounts or subsequent adjustments to be included in net income from continuing operations. Additionally, this ASU discusses required disclosures that an entity must make with regard to the Tax Reform Act. This ASU is effective immediately as new information is available to adjust provisional amounts that were previously recorded. Management adopted the provisions of this statement and took them into account in the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company currently has no revenue and only net operating loss carryforwards that result in a tax benefit. The Company has no deferred tax assets (offset in full by a valuation allowance) or tax liabilities on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update is intended to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for share-based payments issued to non-employees (for example, service providers, external legal counsel, suppliers, etc.). The ASU expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which currently only includes share-based payments issued to employees, to also include share-based payments issued to non-employees for goods and services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to non-employees and employees will be substantially aligned. The standard will be applied in a retrospective approach for each period presented. Management adopted the provisions of this statement and took them into account in the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

In July 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-07, Codification Updates to SEC Sections. The ASU clarifies or improves the disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of codification topics by aligning them with the SEC’s regulations, thereby eliminating redundancies and making the codification easier to apply. Management adopted the provisions of this statement and took them into account in the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s reported consolidated financial results.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within ASC 740, Income Taxes, and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Most amendments within the standard are required to be applied on a prospective basis, while certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The Company is evaluating the effects, if any, of the adoption of ASU 2019-12 guidance on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a working capital deficit and stockholders’ deficit, and in all likelihood, will be required to make significant future expenditures in connection with continuing marketing efforts along with general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $19,511,168, carrying loans of principal and interest in default totaling $1,440,193. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company also experienced negative cash flows from operating activities of $543,956. It appears these principal conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, indicate it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. As such, there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has identified factors that mitigate the probable conditions that have raised substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. On October 29, 2018, the Company entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with First Capital Holdings, LLC (“FCH”). The LOI sets forth the terms under which the Company could potentially acquire certain assets related to robotics equipment from FCH in exchange for shares of their common stock equal to 60% of our then outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis. The LOI was non-binding and subject to various conditions that must be met in order for the parties to close the transaction, including, but not limited to, (i) the Company being current in its reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) the Company completing a reverse stock split of its common stock such that approximately 8,000,000 shares will be outstanding immediately prior to closing the transaction with no convertible instruments other than as set forth herein, (iii) the Company having no more than $125,000 in outstanding debt, all in the form of convertible notes that mature in two years post-closing and are convertible into shares of TransBiotec common stock at $2.00 per share; (iv) FCH completing any necessary audits and reviews of the financial statements related to the assets by a PCAOB-approved independent registered accounting firm, and (v) the parties executing definitive documents related to the potential transaction. On March 6, 2019, the parties entered into an amendment No. 1 to the LOI in order to extend certain dates in the LOI namely : (i) the date for the parties to complete initial due diligence was moved to March 29, 2019 (ii) the date for the parties to execute definitive agreements related to the transaction was moved to May 6, 2019, and (iii) the date to close the transaction was tentatively moved to August 31, 2019 (the “Amendment No.1”). On May 6, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with IDTEC, LLC (“IDTEC”), under which IDTEC agreed to provide personnel, experience, and access to funding to assist with the development of the Company’s SOBR device, as well as to sell to the Company certain robotics assets, which the Company’s management believes are synergistic with its current assets. The aggregate purchase price for the purchased assets shall be 12 million (12,000,000) restricted shares of the $0.00001 par value common stock of the Company; provided that the total number of shares of Company’s $0.00001 par value common stock issued and outstanding following a tentative closing date of April 23, 2020 shall not exceed 20 million (20,000,000) shares (on a fully-diluted basis).

On December 12, 2019, the Company entered into a Series A-1 Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with SOBR SAFE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an entity controlled by Gary Graham, one of the Company’s Directors (“SOBR SAFE”), under which (i) the Company agreed to create a new series of convertible preferred stock entitled “Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock,” with Two Million (2,000,000) shares authorized and the following rights: (a) dividend rights of 8% per annum based on the original issuance price of $1 per share, (b) liquidation preference over our common stock, (c) conversion rights into shares of our common stock at $1 per share, (d) redemption rights such that the Company has the right, upon thirty (30) days written notice, at any time after one year from the date of issuance, to redeem all or part of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock for 150% of the original issuance price, (e) shall not be callable by the Company, and (f) each share of Series A Convertible Preferred stock will vote on an “as converted” basis; and (ii) SOBR SAFE agreed to acquire One Million (1,000,000) shares of the Company’s Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”), once created, in exchange for One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Purchase Price”). The Company received the Purchase Price on December 12, 2019 and has not issued these preferred shares as of December 31, 2019, however,the Company plans to issue these preferred shares in April 2020. As a result of the offering, the Company has a cash balance of $681,759 at December 31, 2019.

 

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this Annual Report. Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2020. However, if the pandemic continues, it will have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity in year 2020.

   

Management believes actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern; however, these plans are contingent upon actions to be performed by the Company and these conditions have not been met on or before December 31, 2019. Additionally, the COVID-19 outbreak could have a continued adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown, which would impair the Company’s ability to raise needed funds to continue as a going concern. As such, substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern was not alleviated as of December 31, 2019.

NOTE 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

In May 2011, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Bennington to be the Company’s sole CEO which expired on December 31, 2017. The employment agreement provided that the Company would pay Mr. Bennington a salary of $120,000 during the first year of the agreement, $156,000 during the second year of the agreement, $172,000 during the third year of the agreement, $190,000 during the fourth year of the agreement and $208,000 during the fifth year of the agreement. Since the Company was unable to compensate him as stipulated per the agreement, Mr. Bennington agreed to decrease his yearly compensation, and resulting yearly accrual, to $120,000 per year with no yearly increases as stipulated in years 2 through 5. In September 2016, before the expiration of Mr. Bennington’s contract, the Company appointed Ivan Braiker as its sole CEO, and Mr. Bennington subsequently took a role as a member of the Board of Directors at a monthly rate of $5,000. In connection with his appointment, Mr. Braiker entered into a letter agreement with the Company, under which he accrued a monthly retainer of $7,500, to be paid only if the Company successfully closed financing of at least $200,000. Mr. Braiker was also granted options to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0045 per share at a fair value of $6,290. In an act of good faith by the Company, Mr. Braiker was paid $15,000 in 2017 in relation to his letter agreement. Effective with his resignation on December 31, 2017, the Company did not owe, accrue for or pay Mr. Braiker any additional compensation due to his inability to secure financing of $200,000 for the Company as stipulated per the letter agreement. Mr. Braiker was not compensated for his services as a member of our Board of Directors and his stock option to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock was cancelled by the Company.

 

On December 3, 2014, Lanphere Law Group, a related party and the Company’s largest shareholder, entered into an agreement with the Company to convert 50% of its outstanding accounts payable of $428,668 to a note payable. This note payable represents one half of the balance in the amount of $214,334 of legal fees and costs owed up until October 31, 2014. This agreement further provided that the remaining 50% of unpaid legal fees in accounts payable were to be paid and retained as a current payable. In addition, 50% of the legal fees and costs incurred beginning with the legal services provided to the Company on November 1, 2014 are to be converted on a monthly basis to common stock at a price of $0.09 per share until the accounts payable balance for attorney fees is paid current. These payables were for legal expenses recorded to general and administrative expense as incurred. The Company has recorded to equity, a total related party gain connected to these conversions during the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 of $26,875 and $28,400, respectively. Per this agreement as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, on a cumulative basis, approximately $270,086 of related party payables was payable with 2,561,980 common shares and $201,831 was  payable with 2,242,565 common shares, respectively. The Company has a stock subscription payable due to Lanphere Law Group as of December 31, 2019 of $3,144 payable with 508,686 of its common shares, and $1,271 payable with 562,688 of its common shares as of December 31, 2018. None of Lanphere Law Group’s related party payables were converted into common shares during the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

On July 1, 2015, the Company amended the December 3, 2014 note payable agreement with Lanphere Law Group, a related party and the Company’s largest shareholder, which forgave $108,000 of the note payable’s principal balance. This debt forgiveness decreased the original principal balance on the note of $214,334 to a new principal balance of $106,335, and a related party gain of $108,000 was recorded to additional paid-in capital. This amendment also extended the note payable’s due date to December 2, 2015; however, this note is currently in default.

NOTE 4. NOTES PAYABLE

 

RELATED PARTIES

 

The Company has seven convertible notes payable to related parties that have a principal balance of $161,000 and $91,000 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. These notes carry interest rates ranging from of 7% to 10% and have due dates ranging from 1/23/2014 - 4/8/2015. Three of the seven notes are due on demand and four of the notes are currently in default and carry a default interest rate of 10%. These notes carry conversion prices ranging from $0.0072 - $0.0800 per share. The Company evaluated these convertible notes and determined that,  there was a beneficial conversion value to record. The beneficial conversion feature was amortized over the life of the notes, one year, and was fully amortized at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. No beneficial conversion feature expense related to these notes was incurred during the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. On March 1, 2019, May 3, 2019 and October 26, 2019, the Company entered into convertible note payable agreements that converts to its common stock at a variable conversion price. As discussed in Note 5 – Derivative Liability, the Company analyzed the conversion features of the seven note agreements for derivative accounting consideration under ASU 2017-11 (ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging), and determined the embedded conversion features for three should be classified as a derivative because the exercise price of the convertible note is subject to a variable conversion rate. The Company evaluated these three convertible notes and determined that its embedded conversion feature carried a debt discount that should be fully amortized upon grant. The Company fully amortized this debt discount and recorded it as amortization of debt discount – interest expense in the amount of $64,800.  The Company had no such amortization expenses at December 31, 2018.

The fair market value of the outstanding stock warrants was calculated utilizing the Black-Sholes method using the following assumptions: risk free rates ranging between 1.83% - 2.40%, dividend yield of 0%, expected life of .38 - 5 years, daily volatility between 134% - 135%.

  

Total interest expense for related party notes was $91,845 and $80,753 for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

NOTE 5. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

On March 1, 2019, the Company borrowed $29,000 under a convertible promissory note agreement from an unrelated party that is due upon demand from the investor. On May 3, 2019, the Company borrowed $31,000 under a convertible promissory note agreement from an unrelated party that is due upon demand from the investor. On October 26, 2019, the Company borrowed $10,000 under a convertible promissory note agreement from an unrelated party that is due upon demand from the investor. All three notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and are convertible into the Company’s common shares at a variable conversion price based on a 50% discount of the market price at an undetermined future date. The Company analyzed the conversion features of the note agreement for derivative accounting consideration under ASU 2017-11 (ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging), and determined the embedded conversion features should be classified as a derivative because the exercise price of the convertible note is subject to a variable conversion rate and should therefore be accounted for at fair value under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and ASC 825, Financial Instruments. In accordance with ASC 815-15, the Company has bifurcated the conversion feature of the note and recorded a derivative liability.

 

The embedded derivative for the notes is carried on the Company’s balance sheet at fair value. The derivative liability is marked to market each measurement period and any unrealized change in fair value is recorded as a component of the statement of operations and the associated fair value carrying amount on the balance sheet is adjusted by the change. The Company fair values the embedded derivative using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility from 190% to 270%, (2) risk-free interest rate from 1.55% to 1.66%, and (3) expected life from 6 months to 1 year. On March 1, 2019, the date of the first note, the fair value of the embedded derivative was $28,000. On May 3, 2019, the date of the second note, the fair value of the embedded derivative was $28,100. On October 26, 2019, the date of the third note, the fair value of the embedded derivative was $8,700. The notes carried an embedded conversion feature of $64,800  that was fully amortized to as interest expense  during the year ended December 31, 2019. The fair value of the embedded derivative is $60,650 and is recorded on the balance sheet as a derivative liability at December 31, 2019. The note was not converted during the year ended December 31, 2019. Utilizing level 3 inputs, the Company recorded a fair market value gain of $4,150 and none during the year ended December 31, 2019.

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES

 

Deferred income taxes arise from the temporary differences between financial statement and income tax recognition of net operating losses. These loss carryovers are limited under the Internal Revenue Code should a significant change in ownership occur.

 

At December 31, 2019 and 2018 the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $9,634,000 and $8,713,000, respectively, that may be offset against future taxable income, if any. These carry-forwards are subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the deferred tax asset of approximately $1,832,000 and $1,680,000, respectively, created by the net operating losses has been offset by a 100% valuation allowance because the likelihood of realization of the tax benefit cannot be determined. The change in the valuation allowance in 2019 and 2018 was approximately $187,000 and $72,000, respectively.

 

There is no current or deferred tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company has not filed its tax returns for the years ended 2012 through 2019; however, management believes there are no taxes due as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations recorded as general and administrative expense.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred net losses and therefore has no tax liability. The Company began operations in 2007 and has net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $9,634,000 that will be carried forward and can be used through the year 2039 to offset future taxable income. In the future, the cumulative net operating loss carry forward for income tax purposes may differ from the cumulative financial statement loss due to timing differences between book and tax reporting.

 

The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $9,634,000 for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry forwards may be further limited to use in future years.

 

The Company has identified the United States Federal tax returns as its “major” tax jurisdiction. The United States Federal tax return years 2012 – 2019 are still subject to tax examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service; however, we do not currently have any ongoing tax examinations.

 

NOTE 7. STOCK WARRANTS AND STOCK OPTIONS

 

The Company accounts for employee stock options and non-employee stock warrants under ASC 718 and ASC 505, whereby option costs are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable, utilizing the Black Sholes pricing model. Unless otherwise provided for, the Company covers option exercises by issuing new shares.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2019 

 

Beginning on December 12, 2012, Michael A. Lanphere, a related party and non-employee, loaned the Company money for a variety of purposes, some for working capital and some to allow the Company to pay outstanding obligations. Each of these loans was made pursuant to the terms of a Loan Agreement with Promissory Note and Stock Fee (the “Agreements”). Under the terms of the Agreements, Mr. Lanphere was not only entitled to repayment of the principal amount loaned to us, with interest, but also what was termed in the Agreements as a “Stock Fee” that the parties are interpreting as a stock warrant, which permits Mr. Lanphere to acquire shares of our common stock in exchange for an exercise price that was estimated based on the date of the loan agreement. The number of shares to be issued to Mr. Lanphere as a Stock Fee under each Agreement was an estimate and varied based on the loan amount and the price of our common stock on the day of the loan and was calculated by this formula: sixty percent (60%) or eighty percent (80%) of the loan amount divided by the Company’s stock price on the day of the loan, but at a price per share no higher than two and one-half cents ($0.025). Each Stock Fee is fully vested immediately and expires five (5) years from the date of the loan. Although the Stock Fee could be taken by Mr. Lanphere as a stock grant or a stock warrant, due to the fully vested nature of the Stock Fee, Mr. Lanphere is deemed to beneficially own those shares on the date of each Agreement. The number of warrants outstanding to Mr. Lanphere at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were 15,103,261 and 10,818,583, respectively.

 

On August 8, 2019, the Company entered into an 8% Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock Investment agreement with First Capital Ventures (“FCV”). FCV set up a special purpose vehicle (“SPV”) that purchased 1,000,000 of the 8% Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Shares at $1.00 per share on December 12, 2019. Upon purchase, the Company issued the SPV through FCV a three year warrant to purchase 4,800,000 shares  of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.03125 per share. The number of warrants outstanding to the SPV through FCV at December 31, 2019 were 4,800,000.

   

The total outstanding balance of all non-employee stock warrants in TransBiotec, Inc. is 19,903,261 and 24,003,003 at December 31, 2019 and December 31 2018, respectively. There were 30,485,423 non-employee detached free-standing stock warrants granted during the year ended December 31, 2019 and 7,882,392 non-employee detached free-standing stock warrants granted during the year ended December 31, 2018. The relative fair value of these non-employee stock warrants granted during the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 totaled $159,961 and $29,701, respectively, and were determined using the Black-Sholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions:

NOTE 9. PREFERRED STOCK

 

On November 20, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a class of stock designated as preferred stock with a par value of $0.00001 per share comprising 25,000,000 shares, 3,000,000 shares of which were classified as Series A Convertible Preferred stock. In each calendar year, the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if, declared by the Board of Directors, out of any funds and assets of the Company legally available, non-cumulative dividends, in an amount equal to any dividends or other Distribution on the common stock in such calendar year (other than a Common Stock Dividend). No dividends (other than a Common Stock Dividend) shall be paid and no distribution shall be made with respect to the common stock unless dividends shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment to the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock simultaneously. Dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred stock shall not be mandatory or cumulative, and no rights or interest shall accrue to the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock by reason of the fact that the Company shall fail to declare or pay dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred stock, except for such rights or interest that may arise as a result of the Company paying a dividend or making a distribution on the common stock in violation of the terms. The holders of each share of Series A Convertible Preferred stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid, out of the Available Funds and Assets, and prior and in preference to any payment or Distribution (or any setting part of any payment or Distribution) of any Available Funds and Assets on any shares of common stock, and equal in preference to any payment or Distribution (or any setting part of any payment or Distribution) of any Available Funds and Assets on any shares of any other series of preferred stock that have liquidation preference, an amount per share equal to the Original Issue Price of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock plus all declared but unpaid dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred stock. A reorganization, or any other consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation, or any other sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, shall not be deemed a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company. Shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock are convertible at a 35% discount rate to the average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock (either as listed on a national exchange or as quoted over-the-market) for the last fifteen (15) trading days immediately prior to conversion. However, no conversions of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock to shares of common stock can occur unless the average closing price per share of the Corporation’s common stock (either as listed on a national exchange or as quoted over-the-market) for the last fifteen (15) trading days immediately prior to conversion is at least five cents ($0.05). The shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock vote on an “as converted” basis. The right of conversion is limited by the fact the holder of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock may not convert if such conversion would cause the holder to beneficially own more than 4.9% of the Company’s common stock after giving effect to such conversion.
