NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Statements in this report may be “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements include, among other things, statements regarding:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to financial instruments, bad debts, impairment, net lease intangibles, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. We assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting forward-looking statements. You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes attached hereto, and the other financial data appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

See the accompanying notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

MassRoots, Inc. (“MassRoots” or the “Company”) has created a technology platform for the cannabis industry focused on enabling users to share their cannabis content, follow their favorite dispensaries, and stay connected with the legalization movement. The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 26, 2013.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2017 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2017, or any other period.  These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related disclosures of the Company as of December 31, 2016 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on March 31, 2017.

 

Acquisition

 

On December 15, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Whaxy Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Subsidiary”), DDDigtal Inc, a Colorado corporation (“DDDigtal”), Zachary Marburger, an individual acting solely in his capacity as Stockholder Representative, and all of the stockholders of DDDigtal. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the parties agreed to merge Merger Subsidiary with and into DDDigtal, whereby DDDigtal would survive as a wholly-owned subsidiary of MassRoots (the “Merger”).

 

On January 25, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), the Merger was completed and became effective upon the filing of certificates of merger with the respective Secretary of State of the States of Delaware and Colorado, in such forms as required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Colorado Business Corporation Act.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of DDDigtal’s common stock was to be exchanged for a number of shares of the Company’s common stock (or a fraction thereof), based on an exchange ratio, as ultimately calculated, equal to approximately 5.273-for-1, such that 1 share of the Company’s’ common stock was issued for every 5.273 shares of DDDigtal’s common stock.

 

On the Effective Date, the Company issued 2,926,830 shares of the Company’s common stock pro rata to all stockholders of DDDigtal (the “Share Consideration”) in exchange for all of their shares of DDDigtal’s common stock. At the same time, each share of the common stock of Merger Subsidiary was converted into and exchanged for one share of common stock of DDDigtal held by the Company, and all shares of DDDigtal common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date automatically cancelled and retired. DDDigtal continued as a surviving wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Merger Subsidiary ceased to exist.

 

Also pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company paid cash consideration, in December 2016, of $40,000 to Zachary Marburger and $20,000 to Micah Davidson, as repayment of outstanding debts owed by DDDigtal to the individuals.

 

As a condition to the closing of the Merger, the Company hired Zachary Marburger as its Vice President of Strategy, and engaged Micah Davidson as a Senior Software Engineer. As a condition of Mr. Marburger’s employment and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company will pay Mr. Marburger an additional $40,000 following the one-year anniversary of his constant employment with the Company.

 

A summary of consideration is as follows:

 

 

The following summarizes the current estimates of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

 

 

 

 

 

The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The Company assigns to all identifiable assets acquired a portion of the cost of the acquired company equal to the estimated fair value of such assets at the date of acquisition. The Company records the excess of the cost of the acquired company over the sum of the amounts assigned to identifiable assets acquired as goodwill.

 

The Company recorded goodwill in the aggregate amount of $2,967,772 as a result of the acquisition of DDDitgal LLC during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

The Company accounts for and reports acquired goodwill under ASC subtopic 350-10, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350-10”). In accordance with ASC 350-10, at least annually, the Company tests its intangible assets for impairment or more often if events and circumstances warrant. Any write-downs will be included in results from operations.

 

NOTE 2 –GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS

 

As of June 30, 2017, the Company had cash of $31,247 and working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $666,591. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company used net cash in operating activities of $5,204,069.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from private placements of common stock, proceeds from the exercise of warrants and options and issuance of notes payable. The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expects these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future. The Company will require additional financing to fund future operations.

 

Management’s plans with regard to these matters encompass the following actions: 1) obtain funding from new and potentially current investors to alleviate the Company’s working deficiency, and 2) implement a plan to generate sales. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to translate its user base into sales. However, the outcome of management’s plans cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty.

 

Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MassRoots, Inc. and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include stock-based compensation, fair values relating to derivative liabilities and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk.

 

The Company follows ASC 825-10, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company monitors outstanding receivables based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on an assessment of the Company’s ability to collect on customer accounts receivable. There is judgment involved with estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts and if the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make the required payments, the Company may be required to record additional allowances or charges against revenues. The Company writes-off accounts receivable against the allowance when it determines a balance is uncollectible and no longer actively pursues its collection. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, based upon the review of the outstanding accounts receivable, the Company has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts is not required.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when services are realized or realizable and earned less estimated future doubtful accounts. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:

 

 

The Company primarily generates revenue by charging businesses to advertise on the network. The Company has the ability to target advertisements directly to a clients’ target audience, based on their location, on their mobile devices. In cases where clients sign advertising contracts for an extended period of time, the Company only realizes revenue for services provided during that quarter and defers all other revenue to future quarters.

DDDigtal typically uses the completed contract method for website development services, which typically have construction periods of 60 days or less. Contracts are considered complete when title has passed and the customer has accepted the product. DDDigtal defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or services have not been rendered or are subject to refund until such time that DDDigtal and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or services have been rendered or no refund will be required. DDDigtal launched an online service platform. DDDigtal recognizes revenue on a monthly basis based upon a transaction fee plus a fixed monthly service charge.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows ASC subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes- (“ASC 740-10”) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods.

Convertible Instruments

 

U.S. GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under ASC 480-10.

 

When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company classifies as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) provide the Company with a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) providing that such contracts are indexed to the Company’s own stock. The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the Company’s control) or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company assesses classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.

 

The Company’s free standing derivatives consisted of warrants to purchase common stock that were issued in connection with the issuance of debt and of embedded conversion options with convertible debentures. The Company evaluated these derivatives to assess their proper classification in the balance sheet as of June 30, 2017 using the applicable classification criteria enumerated under ASC 815-Derivatives and Hedging. The Company determined that certain embedded conversion and/or exercise features do not contain fixed settlement provisions. The convertible debentures contain a conversion feature such that the Company could not ensure it would have adequate authorized shares to meet all possible conversion demands.

 

As such, the Company was required to record the derivatives which do not have fixed settlement provisions as liabilities and mark to market all such derivatives to fair value at the end of each reporting period.   

 

 Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its property and equipment and any identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The test for impairment is required to be performed by management at least annually. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted operating cash flow expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill Assets

 

The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

 

The Company tests for indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable.

 

Segment Reporting

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding the method to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company currently has one reportable segment for financial reporting purposes, which represents the Company’s core business.

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

 

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share under ASC subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”). Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.  Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable.

 

The computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 excludes potentially dilutive securities when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period.

 

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

 

Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ data to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income (losses).

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception.

Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company is currently reviewing the impact of adoption of ASU 2017-11on its financial statements.

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

Subsequent Events

 

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. 

 

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENTS

 

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying value of our investments in privately held companies totaled $100,002 and $235,000, respectively. These investments are accounted for as cost method investments, as we own less than 20% of the voting securities and do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the entities.

 

To facilitate the integration with dispensary point of sale systems, in 2015, the Company invested $175,000 in exchange for preferred shares of Flowhub LLC (“Flowhub”), a seed-to-sale system, equal to 8.95% of the then outstanding equity of Flowhub. The Company currently is working with Flowhub to integrate their system with the Company’s network. The acquired preferred shares are considered non-marketable securities. On May 12, 2017, the Company sold its preferred shares in Flowhub for net proceeds of $250,000.  The gain on sale of securities of $75,000 was recorded in current period operations.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company acquired 23,810 Class A common stock of Hightimes Holding Corp. for $100,002 ($4.20 per share). The acquired common shares are considered non-marketable securities.

 

In addition, at December 31, 2016, the Company had paid $60,000 acquisition deposit to acquire DDDigtal LLC, (See Note 1).

 

NOTE 5 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is summarized as follows:

 

 

Depreciation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was $6,158 and $11,934, respectively; and $5,183 and $8,725 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

On March 24, 2014, the Company issued convertible debentures to certain accredited investors. The total principal amount of the debentures is $269,100 and originally matured on March 24, 2016 with a 0% interest rate. The debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.10 per share. In March 2016, the debentures were amended to extend the maturity date to March 24, 2018. In 2016, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,010,000 shares of its common stock in settlement of $101,000 of outstanding debentures and during the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,081,000 shares of its common stock in settlement of $108,100 of outstanding debentures

 

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the aggregate carrying value of the debentures was $0 and $108,100, net of debt discounts of $0, respectively.

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company identified conversion features embedded within convertible debt and warrants outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and year ended December 31, 2016. The Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option and exercise prices, in the form of ratchet provisions, should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions.

 

On March 17, 2016, upon issuance of the secured convertible debentures, the Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option and reset provisions embedded in the issued warrants, in the form of a ratchet provision, should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions. At the date of inception, the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $1,769,121 using the Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 112.29%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.47% to 1.04% (4) expected life of 0.05 to 5.00 years, and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $1.04 per share. The estimated fair value of the embedded derivative of $1,769,121 was charged to debt discount up to the net proceeds of $1,420,000 and amortized over the term of the debenture with the excess charged to current period interest.

 

On December 31, 2016, the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $1,301,138 using the Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 110.39%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 1.47%, (4) expected life of 4.21 years, and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $1.03 per share.

 

On January 4, 2017, warrant holders exercised outstanding warrants for 682,668 shares of Common Stock, and as such the Company transferred to estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives of $610,967 from liability to equity. The Company estimated the fair value at the time of exercise using the Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 110.13%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 1.94%, (4) expected life of 4.20 years, and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $1.07 per share.

 

On June 30, 2017, the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $338,187 using the Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 103.68%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 1.89%, (4) expected life of 3.71 years, and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $0.5677 per share.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

 

Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying financial statements consisted of the following items as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

 

 

 

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2017:

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

The aggregate intrinsic value outstanding stock warrants was $111,626, based on warrants with an exercise price less than the Company’s stock price of $0.5677 as of June 30, 2017, which would have been received by the warrant holders had those warrant holders exercised their warrants as of that date.

NOTE 10 – EMPLOYEE EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS

 

The Company’s shareholders approved our 2014 Plan in June 2014, our 2015 Plan in December 2015, our 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (“2016 Plan”) in October 2016 and our 2017 Equity Incentive Plan in December 2016 (“2017 Plan”, together with the 2014 Plan, 2015 Plan and 2016 Plan, the “Plans”). The Plans are identical, except for number of shares reserved for issuance under each. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had granted an aggregate of 37,950,282 securities under the plans, with 2,150,149 available for future issuances.

 

The Plans provide for the grant of incentive stock options to our employees and our parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees, and for the grant of non-statutory stock options, stock bonus awards, restricted stock awards, performance stock awards and other forms of stock compensation to our employees, including officers, consultants and directors. Our Plans also provide that the grant of performance stock awards may be paid out in cash as determined by the Committee.

 During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company granted options to purchase 2,854,000 shares of common stock for ten years. The fair value of $2,054,521, was determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, assuming approximately 1.81% to 2.35% risk-free interest, 0% dividend yield, 103.66% to 110.16% volatility, and expected life of five to ten years and will be charged to operations over the vesting terms of the options.

  

The summary terms of the issuances are as follows:

 

 

On June 21, 2017, the Company re-priced 12,268,157 previously granted employee and service provider options with exercise prices from $0.77 to $1.07 to $0.50 per share.  In addition, the Company accelerated vesting of 5,000,000 of the re-priced options to fully vesting.  As a result, the Company charged $2,680,888 to operations during the six months ended June 30, 2017.  The change in fair value was determined using Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, assuming approximately 2.00% to 2.16% risk-free interest, 0% dividend yield, 103.32% volatility, and expected life from 8.48 to 9.75 years

Stock options outstanding and exercisable on June 30, 2017 are as follows:

 

A summary of the stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2017:

 

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding stock options was based on options with an exercise price less than the Company’s common stock price of $0.5677 as of June 30, 2017, which would have been received by the option holders had those option holders exercised their options as of that date.

 

Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The fair value of stock-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option model with a volatility figure derived from an index of historical stock prices of comparable entities until sufficient data exists to estimate the volatility using the Company’s own historical stock prices. Management determined this assumption to be a more accurate indicator of value. The Company accounts for the expected life of options based on the contractual life of options for non-employees.

 

The fair value of all options vesting during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 of $2,848,205 and $1,330,984, respectively.  Unrecognized compensation expense of $1,860,378 at June 30, 2017 will be expensed in future periods.

NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Acquisition of Odava, Inc.

On July 5, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with MassRoots Compliance Technology, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Subsidiary”), Odava, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Odava”), and Scott Kveton, an individual acting solely in his capacity as a stockholder representative (“Stockholder Representative”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Subsidiary will be merged with and into Odava, whereby the separate corporate existence of Merger Subsidiary will cease and Odava will survive (the “Surviving Entity”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary of MassRoots (the “Merger”).

 

On July 13, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), the Merger was completed and became effective upon the filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in the form as required by and executed in accordance with Title 8, Section 251(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. A copy of the certificate of merger is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto, and is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of Odava’s common stock was to be exchanged for a number of shares of MassRoots’ Common Stock (or a fraction thereof), based on an exchange ratio, as ultimately calculated, equal to approximately 4.069-for-1, such that one share of MassRoots’ Common Stock was issued for approximately every 4.069 shares of Odava’s common stock.

On the Effective Date, the Company issued 3,250,000 shares of common stock pro rata to all stockholders of Odava (the “Share Consideration”) in exchange for all of their shares of Odava’s common stock. At the same time, shares of the common stock of Merger Subsidiary were converted into and exchanged for one share of common stock of Odava held by the Company, and all shares of Odava common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date automatically cancelled and retired. Odava continued as a surviving wholly-owned subsidiary of Massroots, and Merger Subsidiary ceased to exist.  In addition, the Company issued 2,600,000 shares of common stock to the founders of Odava in connection with the acquisition

 

Also pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, MassRoots paid cash consideration of $30,000 to Scott Kveton and $5,000 to Steven Osborn, as repayment of outstanding debts at closing owed by Odava to the individuals.

 

As a condition to the closing of the Merger, the Company hired Scott Kveton as its new Director of Business Development, and Steven Osborn as its Principal Architect.

Sale of common stock and warrants

In July 2017, the Company conducted an offering (the “Offering”) consisting of up to $2,000,000 of our shares of common stock, priced at $0.50 per share, and five-year warrants to purchase shares of common stock in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the number of shares of Common Stock so purchased by the subscriber, with an exercise price of $0.65 per share (the “Warrants”, together with the shares of Common Stock subscribed for, the “Securities”). The Offering will consist of one or more closings, with the last closing occurring on July 21, 2017.

 

The Securities have been offered pursuant to subscription agreements with each subscriber (the “Subscription Agreement”). In addition to other customary terms, the Subscription Agreements provide that the Company will file a registration statement to register the shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering (the “Registration Statement”), including the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants, within 30 days of the final closing of the Offering.

 

The warrants are exercisable for five years from the date of issuance, include an option by which the holder may exercise the Warrant by means of a cashless exercise until the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering the shares underlying the warrants, and includes a price adjustment in the event the Company conducts an equity offering at a price lower than the strike price of the warrants (“Price Protection”). Such Price Protection shall remain in effect until a Registration Statement covering the shares underlying the warrants is effective (“S-1 Requirement”) and, subsequent to effectiveness, the market for the common stock maintains a volume weighted average price of at least $0.75 per share for five consecutive trading days (“VWAP Requirement”). Until such time that both the S-1 Requirement and the VWAP Requirement are met, in the event the Company sells or grants any option to, or sell or grant any right to re-price, or otherwise dispose of or issue any common stock or equivalents (other than specified exempt issuances) at an effective price per share less than the warrant exercise price, then simultaneously with the consummation of each such issuance, the exercise price of the Warrants shall be reduced to equal such lower price.

On July 21, 2017, the Company completed the final closing of the Offering, representing aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $1,217,000. In connection with the closing, the Company and subscribers entered into Subscription Agreements for the sale of 2,435,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 2,435,000 shares of common stock, of which 1,465,000 shares of common stock has been issued subsequent to June 30, 2017

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and related notes contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. Please also refer to the Note About Forward Looking Statements for information on such statements contained in this Quarterly Report immediately preceding Item 1.

 

Overview

 

MassRoots, Inc. is a Delaware corporation formed on April 24, 2013. Our principal place of business is located at 1624 Market Street, Suite 201, Denver, CO 80202, our telephone number is (833) 467-6687 and our corporate website is www.MassRoots.com/Investors.

 

As discussed in the Notes to the Financial Statements, the Company has experienced recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. We have relied on equity financing to fund operations. There can be no guarantee that we will ever become profitable, or that adequate additional financing will be realized in the future or otherwise may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our development efforts. We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability and we may never do so. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We have been implementing our strategic plan, as set forth below, on which we believe we will be able to continue operations and become profitable in the future.

MassRoots was formed in April 2013 as a technology platform for the medical cannabis community and over the past four years, has empowered over a million cannabis consumers with the knowledge they need to shape local, state and corporate cannabis policies while making educated cannabis decisions within regulated markets. In July 2017, we merged with Odava, Inc., and shifted our focus to providing compliance technology for cannabis businesses to run their business more efficiently, submit reports to state regulators, and build loyalty amongst consumers in their local neighborhoods.

Our platform is the heart of the cannabis industry ecosystem -- connecting dispensary operators, cultivators, cannabis consumers, and regulatory agencies in a closed-loop environment with compliance at the core. We are currently available to dispensaries and cultivators in the State of Oregon, and dispensaries are able to submit data to state regulators on a daily basis. Over the coming quarters, we plan to expand our regulatory compliance platform to the Alaska, Colorado, Maryland, Florida and California markets.

Through our point-of-sale t software, we enable dispensary operators to easily record sales, track inventory, and submit this data with state regulatory agencies on a daily basis. This provides regulators with a fully transparent snapshot of the entire cannabis supply chain with millions of data points, updated daily, which they can utilize to detect potential illegal diversion and ensure compliance with state regulations.

As part of our point-of-sale solution, we also provide an ID scanner to determine whether patients are over the age 18 or 21, depending on the state or local laws and regulations. Utilizing the same database of Department of Motor Vehicles information utilized by mainstream brands, IDs are checked against DMV databases in 46 states and provides the highest-level of age authentication publicly available, although such age confirmations may not always be correct.

We believe that by providing the software that makes the cannabis industry as compliant and transparent as possible, we will contribute to the acceleration of the spread of legal and regulated cannabis markets. We believe that the vast majority of prohibitionist policies are formulated based on incorrect data and preconceptions that can be objectively proven false.

The Odava Retail Platform is available to dispensary operators in Oregon as a paid software-as-a-service platform to manage their point-of-sale, compliance and loyalty program operations. Our software streamlines dispensary operations and work flows, while enabling seamless interaction with their customers through the MassRoots App. Over the coming quarters, we plan to expand our retail platform to the Alaska, Colorado, Maryland, Florida, and California markets.

MassRoots provides cannabis consumers with the information they need to influence local, state, and corporate cannabis policies, while staying better connected with dispensaries in their local areas. Cannabis consumers can view previous order history at local dispensaries, see which strains and products dispensaries have in stock, while receiving updates of legalization-related events happening in their local communities.

As a technology company, the MassRoots platform is able to rapidly scale with minimal marginal costs – each additional dispensary, user of our mobile application or cultivator that we add costs negligible server hosting fees. Our business model gives us exposure to every regulated cannabis market without establishing a physical presence in each state. This minimizes required capital while, at the same time, offering a direct role in the cannabis industry without ever touching the plant itself.

  

The Team

 

MassRoots has 19 full-time employees working at our headquarters in downtown Denver, Colorado. The majority of these employees are engineers focused on developing new features for the MassRoots platform.

2016 Elections

 

On November 8, 2016, voters in California, Nevada, Maine and Massachusetts voted to regulate the production and sale of cannabis for recreational purposes while Florida, North Dakota, Arkansas and Montana voters authorized its medical use. According to ArcView Market Research, these initiatives will cause the regulated cannabis industry to expand from roughly $6 billion in 2016 to more than $23 billion once these initiatives take effect.

 

Our business model is designed to benefit from this trend. When a new state passes a medical or recreational cannabis law, we are able to start registering users and businesses in that state with minimal incremental cost. Because MassRoots is not involved in the production or sale of cannabis, we do not have to build out-grow operations, open retail stores, or have a significant physical presence in the state in order to generate revenue. At the same time, MassRoots’ financial model is not tied to the success of a particular location or brand—we believe we will have a significant percentage of all dispensaries and brands on our platform, making MassRoots a play on the industry as a whole.

 

Sitting at the intersection of healthcare on the medical cannabis side and a nascent industry on the recreational cannabis side, we believe the cannabis industry can continue to grow in any economic climate.

 

Competition

 

As more of our localized advertising features come online throughout 2017, we are competing with dispensary locators and strain guides, such as WeedMaps and Leafly, for dispensaries’ advertising budgets. Odava competes with cannabis seed-to-sale technology platforms such as MJ Freeway, BioTrack THC, Greenbits, Flowhub, and IQ Metrics. We believe the cloud-based infrastructure of our platform, its ease-of-use, the potential for automatic API integrations and dynamic regulatory compliance engine present a significantly higher value proposition than our competitors.  

Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2016:

Revenues

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we generated revenues of $142,873 and $492,233, respectively, a decrease of $349,360. Of the $142,873 generated in the three months ended June 30, 2017, all was made up of advertising revenue related to the MassRoots network. The decrease in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily caused by a lack of revenues from the 420 Rally being generated in 2017.

 

Operating Expenses

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, our operating expenses were $12,146,614 and $2,322,593, respectively, an increase of $9,824,021. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, these increases were mainly attributed to increased stock-based compensation to our employees and key consultants which, for 2017 was $9,140,970 as compared to $690,590 for the same period last year (a non-cash increase of $8,450,380). In addition we incurred additional consulting and other service provider fees and increases in payroll and payroll-related expenditures as we expanded our business.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded interest expense of $-0- and $873,050, respectively. As of June 30, 2017, the remaining notes payable have been eliminated. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company realized gains related to the fair value mark to market adjustments of its derivative liabilities of $298,087 and $537,153, respectively. The derivative liabilities are caused by certain price protections included in the warrants issued as part of the Company’s convertible debt offering. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded amortization of discount on notes payable of $-0- and $873,050, respectively, included in the interest discussion above.  Lastly, during the three months ended June 30, 2017, we sold our security investment in Flowhub for $250,000 realizing a gain on sale of securities of $75,000.

 

Net Loss

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we had net losses of $11,630,654 and $2,166,257, respectively, an increase of $9,464,397, for the reasons discussed above.

Six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2016:

Revenues

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we generated revenues of $277,614 and $585,618, respectively, a decrease of $308,004. The $277,614 generated in the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily comprised of advertising revenue related to the MassRoots network. The decrease in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily caused by no revenues from the 420 Rally being generated in 2017.

 

Net Loss

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we had net losses of $19,077,831 and $4,802,480, respectively, an increase of $14,275,351, for the reasons discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Net cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $5,204,069 and $2,133,202, respectively. This increase was primarily caused by a widening net loss in the Company’s operations, an increase in the value of options issued to employees, and an expansion of MassRoots’ development team.

 

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $102,629 and $(19,100), respectively. These investing activities in 2017 were proceeds from sale of securities of $250,000 and received $8,672 in connection with the acquisition of DDDigtal, LLC, net with the purchase of equipment, primarily computers, of $56,041 and equity investment of $100,002. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, $19,100 was used to purchase office equipment.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $4,758,197 and $1,816,507, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, these funds came mainly from warrant and option exercises. While for the six months ended June 30, 2016 the Company received proceeds from its March 2016 convertible debt offering and warrant and option exercises.

Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2017, we had cash on hand of $31,247 and as of June 30, 2017; there are warrants outstanding to purchase up to aggregate of 6,444,172 shares with an exercise prices of $0.40 to $90 per share, which, if all were exercised, would supply $5,259,337 in cash to the Company.

We currently have no external sources of liquidity such as arrangements with credit institutions, with the exception of a credit card from American Express, or off-balance sheet arrangements that will have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or immediate access to capital.

We are dependent on the sale of our securities to fund our operations, and will remain so until we generate sufficient revenues to pay for our operating costs. Our officers and directors have made no written commitments with respect to providing a source of liquidity in the form of cash advances, loans and/or financial guarantees.

 

Fundraising

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we received approximately $4,723,000 proceeds from the exercise of our previously issued warrants.

On July 21, 2017, we received aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $1,217,000 in connection with the sale of 2,434,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 2,434,000 shares of common stock.

 Required Capital Over the Next Fiscal Year

 

We do not believe MassRoots has sufficient capital to become cash-flow positive from operations. We expect to need to raise at least $5,000,000 over the next year to continue to fund operations; however, we expect to raise a majority of these funds through warrant exercises.

 

We prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and allow us to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on the ability to obtain adequate capital to fund operating losses until we generate adequate cash flows from operations to fund its operating costs and obligations. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations.

 

We depend upon our ability, and will continue to attempt, to secure equity and/or debt financing. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.  Our management has determined that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. 

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2017, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
