Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
(Unaudited)
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Helbiz, Inc. and Subsidiaries, (“Helbiz” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in October 2015 with its headquarter in New York, New York. The Company is an intra-urban transportation company that seeks to help urban areas reduce their dependence on individually owned cars by offering affordable, accessible, and sustainable forms of personal transportation, specifically addressing first and last mile transport.
Founded on proprietary technology platforms, the Company’s core business is the offering of electric scooters, bikes and mopeds in the sharing environment. Through its Mobility App, Helbiz offers an intra-urban transportation solution that allows users to instantly rent electric vehicles. Additionally, the Company is operating two other business lines: (i) acquisition, commercialization and distribution of media content including live sport events, and (ii) food delivery services through a “ghost kitchen” concept.
The Company currently has a strategic footprint in growing markets with offices in New York, Milan, and Belgrade, with additional operational teams around the world. The Company currently has electric vehicles operating in the United States and Europe.
Basis of Presentation
These accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The Company uses the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. For foreign subsidiaries where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, gains, and losses from remeasurement of foreign currency balances into U.S. dollars are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the foreign subsidiary where the local currency is the functional currency, translation adjustments of foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are recorded to a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of, and for the year ended, December 31, 2021, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for any future annual or interim period.
2. Going Concern and Management’s Plans
The Company has experienced recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception. To date, these operating losses have been funded primarily from outside sources of invested capital. The Company had, and may potentially continue to have, an ongoing need to raise additional cash from outside sources to fund its expansion plan and related operations. Successful transition to attaining profitable operations depends upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
| 10 |
The Company plans to continue to fund its operations and expansion plan through debt and equity financing. Debt or equity financing may not be available on a timely basis on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business and, as such, the financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP generally requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of certain assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Specific accounts that require management estimates include common stock, warrant and financial instruments at fair value, useful lives of property and equipment, including scooters and valuation allowance for deferred income taxes.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating the requirement to separate embedded conversion features from the host contract when the conversion features are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. By removing the separation model, a convertible debt instrument will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. This new standard also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for contracts to qualify for equity classification and simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculations by requiring that an entity use the if-converted method and that the effect of potential share settlement be included in diluted earnings per share calculations. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective approach. In the condensed consolidated balance sheet, the adoption of this new guidance resulted in:
| - | an increase of $3,371 to the total carrying value of the 2021 convertible notes to reflect the full principal amount of the 2021 convertible notes outstanding net of issuance costs, |
| - | a reduction of $4,187 to additional paid-in capital to remove the equity component separately recorded for the beneficial conversion features associated with the 2021 convertible notes, and |
| - | a cumulative-effect adjustment of $816 to the beginning balance of accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2022. |
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options, (“ASU 2021-04”) which clarifies the accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. Specifically, ASU 2021-04 requires the issuer to treat a modification of an equity-classified warrant as an exchange of the original warrant. The difference between the fair value of the modified warrant and the fair value of the warrant immediately before modification is then recognized as an issuance cost or discount of the related transaction. ASU 2021-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Effective January 1, 2022, we adopted ASU 2021-04 on a prospective basis. The impact of adoption of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements was not material.
| 11 |
Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The lease assets and liabilities to be recognized are both measured initially based on the present value of the lease payments. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This update is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2022, and interim periods beginning January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt this standard as of the effective date for private companies using the modified retrospective approach of all leases entered into before the effective date. While the Company is currently reviewing its lease portfolio and evaluating and interpreting the requirements under the new guidance, including available accounting policy elections, it expects that its non-cancellable operating lease commitments will be subject to the new guidance and recognized as right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this accounting standard on its shared vehicles revenues and rental leases.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. This ASU eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU also enhances the disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the ASU amends the guidance on vintage disclosures to require entities to disclose current period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of ASC 326-20. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of the ASU would be applied prospectively. Early adoption is also permitted, including adoption in an interim period. This ASU is currently not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

8. Impairment of Assets
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company identified impairment indicators which indicate that the fair values of Mobility assets were below their carrying values. The decline in the Company’s market capitalization and the reduction of operating e-mopeds were the main impairment indicators.
The
Company completed a quantitative impairment test for the Mobility reporting unit, comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting
unit to its carrying value, including goodwill and intangible assets. As a result, the Company impaired the carrying value of Goodwill
of $
As part of the Company’s impairment analysis, the fair value of the reporting unit was determined using the income approach. The determination of the fair value of the Company’s reporting units requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions, which include, but are not limited to: the projected future business and financial performance of the Company’s reporting unit; forecasts of revenue, operating income, depreciation, amortization, and capital expenditures; discount rates; terminal growth rates; and consideration of the impact of the current adverse macroeconomic environment. Although the Company believes its estimates of fair value are reasonable, actual financial results could differ from those estimates due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making such estimates.

Based on the SPA and the amendments that occurred on May 17, 2022, and on August 23, 2022, the Company is required to pay a redemption premium in two circumstances: a) if the Company redeems the convertible notes prior to maturity; or b) if after the issuance, the DVWAP is less than the Floor Price for five consecutive trading days. In case event b) occurred the Company is required to make monthly payments which shall be in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount outstanding divided by the number of such monthly payments until maturity, (ii) a redemption premium of 10% of such principal amount and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest hereunder as of each payment date. The Company obligation to make monthly payments will cease if after the occurrence of event b) the daily VWAP is greater than the Floor Price for a period of 10 consecutive trading days.

| (ii) | commitment shares issued on April 15, 2022. The fair value of each share was $ |
| (iii) | ||
| (iv) | convertible notes fair value has been approximated with their principal amount, $ |
The Company allocated the gross proceeds between the 2022 Convertible Note - classified as Current liability - and the warrants - classified as equity component with no subsequent re-measurement - based upon their relative fair values. The Company also recorded the following debt discounts.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with its consolidated financial statements and the related notes. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere, including information with respect to its plans and strategy for its business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. You should read the “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.
The following discussion refers to the financial results of Helbiz, Inc., for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021. For purposes of this following discussion the terms “we”, ‘our” or “us” or “the Company” and similar references refers to Helbiz and its affiliates. Except for per share data and as otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts set out herein are in thousands.
Overview
Helbiz, Inc. (and with its subsidiaries, where applicable, “Helbiz” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in October 2015 with its headquarter in New York, New York. We are an intra-urban transportation company that seeks to help urban areas reduce their dependence on individually owned cars by offering affordable, accessible and sustainable forms of personal transportation, specifically addressing first and last mile transport.
Founded on proprietary technology platforms, the Company’s core business is the offering of electric scooters, bikes and mopeds in the sharing environment. Through our Mobility App, we offer an intra-urban transportation solution that allows users to instantly rent electric vehicles. We currently have electric vehicles operating in the United States and Europe.
Starting from the second half of 2021, we expanded our product offerings through two other business lines: (i) the acquisition, commercialization and distribution of media content including live sport events such as the Italian Serie B Soccer League. This revenue stream is supported by Helbiz Live App, which is separated from the Mobility App, and (ii) food delivery services through a delivery-only “ghost kitchen” restaurant concept that specializes in preparing healthy-inspired, high-quality, fresh, made-to-order meals, in Milan. The service is fully integrated in the Mobility App.
Mobility - Key Financial Measures and Indicators
Quarterly Active Platform Users. We define QAPUs as the number of unique users who completed a ride on our platform at least once in three months. While a unique user can use multiple product offerings on our platform in a given quarter, that unique user is counted as only one QAPU. We use QAPUs to assess the adoption of our platform and frequency of transactions, which are key factors in our penetration of the markets in which we operate.
| 24 |
Trips. We define Trips as the number of completed rides in a given period. To further clarify, a single-use Helbiz ride is recognized as a unique “Trip” upon completion of each ride. We believe that Trips is a useful metric to measure the scale and usage of our platform.
Active Markets. We track the number of active markets (cities) that we operate in. We believe that increasing the markets for expansion is fundamental to the success of our core business for the foreseeable future.
| 25 |

Total revenue decreased by $1,027, or 22%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared with the three months ended September 30, 2021, and increased by $2,645, or 30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, was primarily due to strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, since majority of revenue is generated in Europe. The increase in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in the media revenues, driven by commercialization of media rights.
Mobility revenues
Mobility revenues decreased by $1,134, or 14%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with nine months ended September 30, 2021, and decreased by $1,427, or 37%, from $3,890 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, to $2,463 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Such decrease can be mainly explained by the reduction of trips and QAPUs occurred in the three months ended September 30, 2022, and by the Euro/US Dollar exchange impact.
Foreign Exchange Impact on Mobility Revenue
The general strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro in the three and nine months ended on September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 had an unfavorable impact on revenue. If we had translated mobility revenue for the three and nine months ended on September 30, 2022 using the prior year's monthly average exchange rates for our revenue in Euro, our total mobility revenue would have been $2,771 and $7,382, respectively. Using these constant rates, mobility revenue would have been $308 and $628 higher than actual mobility revenue, respectively, for the three and nine months ended on September 30, 2022.
Media revenues
Helbiz Media revenues are related to the launch of the new business line, which occurred in August 2021. During the three and nine months ended on September 30, 2022, Media generated, respectively, revenues amounted to $1,083 and $4,228. We recorded respectively Revenues for $638 and $2,986 from the international commercialization and distribution of media contents to media partners, in the Business to Business (“B2B") environment, and $273 and $644 from Helbiz Live monthly and yearly subscriptions.

The decrease is mainly driven by a better operating efficiency and the externalization of portion of the Italian operation; this efficiency plan started during the three months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended on September 30, 2022, the decrease is mainly related to the reduction of Depreciation, Amortization and write-off expenses, one of the main drivers of Cost of Revenue related to Mobility, which decreased by $761, or 16%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily with proceeds from outside sources of invested capital. We have had, and expect that we will continue to have, an ongoing need to raise additional cash from outside sources to fund our operations and expand its business. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be harmed. Successful transition to attaining profitable operations depends upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure.
As of September 30, 2022, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $3,334, excluding restricted cash of $140 (included in Other Assets) and $151 (included in prepaid and other current assets). Cash and cash equivalents consisted of bank deposits in U.S. Dollar and Euro.
We collect the fees from riders using a third-party processing payment provider. In detail, we collect the fees between 2 to 5 days after the completion of the ride. We also collect charges and fees from partners for specific advertising or co-branding activities, within 30 days from the events. Additionally, Helbiz Live media operators pay Helbiz Media within 60 days for the international audiovisual rights.
We plan to continue to fund our operations and expansion plan, including the new business lines through debt and equity financing, for the next twelve months. As a result, we decided to take the following actions during October and the first half of November 2022:
| - | On October 31, 2022, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with YA II PN, Ltd. Pursuant to the SEPA, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Yorkville up to $13.9 million of its shares of Class A Common Stock at any time during the 24 months. The Company agreed in the SEPA that until such time as the Company’s obligations to YA II PN, Ltd under any convertible debentures, promissory notes or other instruments are less than $5 million, the Company will use all proceeds from the sale of Class A common stock under the SEPA to repay the outstanding obligations to YA II PN, Ltd. On November 7, 2022, the Company delivered an Advance Notice for the sale of 3,600,000 Class A Common Shares, using Option 1 for the Market Price calculation, resulting in cumulative gross proceeds of $0.6 million. On November 10, 2022 YA II PN, Ltd waived the restrictions on the use of proceeds contained in the SEPA with respect to the Advance Notice delivered on November 7, 2022 and up to three Additional Notices that the Company may deliver between November 7, 2022 and December 31, 2022. |
We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth and expanded operations, including the new business lines. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Media rights – Purchase Commitments
During 2021, the Company decided to enter into a new business line: the acquisition, commercialization and distribution of contents including live sport events to media partners and final viewers. In order to commercialize and broadcast media contents, the Company entered into non-cancellable Content licensing and Service agreements with multiple partners such as LNPB. These agreements require the payment of certain fees and contain renewal and escalation clauses. The terms of the agreements provide for payments on a periodical basis and on a graduated scale. The Company recognizes expense on a straight-line basis over the agreement period and has accrued for expense incurred but not paid.
Future annual minimum payments related to Media rights’ agreements as of September 30, 2022, are as follows. All the agreements are in Euro, in order to calculate the future annual minimum payments, the Euro payments are exchanged in Dollar using the exchange rate as of September 30, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, costs and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
While our significant accounting policies are described in greater detail in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates” to our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and in Note 3, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates” to our condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022, we believe that the following accounting policies are those most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition, the following update our discussion of impairment testing therein as of September 30, 2022.
Impairment of Assets
As a result of sustained decreases in our publicly quoted share price and market capitalization continuing into 2022, we conducted additional testing of our goodwill, definite-lived intangibles and other long-lived assets as of September 30, 2022. As a result of this review, we identified impairments to our Goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets for which we recorded respectively $9.3 million and $1,1 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Consistent with prior goodwill impairment testing, our September 30, 2022, testing reflected the income approach. We believe the income approach continues to be appropriate as it more directly reflects our future growth and profitability expectations. For our September 30, 2022, impairment testing, as compared to our December 31, 2021 testing, we reduced our estimated future cash flows used in the impairment assessment, including revenues, margin, and capital expenditures to reflect our best estimates at this time. We also updated certain significant inputs into the valuation models including the discount rate estimates as 15.5% which increased reflecting, in part, higher interest rates and market volatility, and we reduced our revenue market multiples estimates as 1.6x, reflecting declining valuations across our selected peer group. Our updates to our discount rate, market multiples, and estimated future cash flows each had a significant impact to the estimated fair value of our reporting unit.
Emerging Growth Company
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected to use such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and we have different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have, during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating the requirement to separate embedded conversion features from the host contract when the conversion features are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. By removing the separation model, a convertible debt instrument will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. This new standard also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for contracts to qualify for equity classification and simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculations by requiring that an entity use the if-converted method and that the effect of potential share settlement be included in diluted earnings per share calculations. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective approach. In the condensed consolidated balance sheet, the adoption of this new guidance resulted in:
| - | an increase of $3,371 to the total carrying value of the 2021 convertible notes to reflect the full principal amount of the 2021 convertible notes outstanding net of issuance costs, |
| - | a reduction of $4,187 to additional paid-in capital to remove the equity component separately recorded for the beneficial conversion features associated with the 2021 convertible notes, and |
| - | a cumulative-effect adjustment of $816 to the beginning balance of accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2022. |
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options, (“ASU 2021-04”) which clarifies the accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. Specifically, ASU 2021-04 requires the issuer to treat a modification of an equity-classified warrant as an exchange of the original warrant. The difference between the fair value of the modified warrant and the fair value of the warrant immediately before modification is then recognized as an issuance cost or discount of the related transaction. ASU 2021-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Effective January 1, 2022, we adopted ASU 2021-04 on a prospective basis. The impact of adoption of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements was not material. The Company analyzed the April 15, 2022 amendment of the exercise price of the 1,000,000 warrants issued to the 2021 Convertible Note Holder that had been classified as equity, in accordance with ASU 2021-04 which resulted in no financial impact
Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The lease assets and liabilities to be recognized are both measured initially based on the present value of the lease payments. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This update is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2022, and interim periods beginning January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt this standard as of the effective date for private companies using the modified retrospective approach of all leases entered into before the effective date. While the Company is currently reviewing its lease portfolio and evaluating and interpreting the requirements under the new guidance, including available accounting policy elections, it expects that its non-cancellable operating lease commitments will be subject to the new guidance and recognized as right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this accounting standard on its shared vehicles revenues and rental leases.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. This ASU eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU also enhances the disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the ASU amends the guidance on vintage disclosures to require entities to disclose current period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of ASC 326-20. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of the ASU would be applied prospectively. Early adoption is also permitted, including adoption in an interim period. This ASU is currently not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022. Based on such evaluation, due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of such date to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Material Weakness
Our management’s conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective was due to the identification of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the preparation of our Financial Statements. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management identified the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting:
| · | We have insufficiently designed and operating controls surrounding the accounting policies and controls, including standardized reconciliation schedules to ensure the company's books and records are maintained in accordance with GAAP. |
Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated cash flows as of and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, we expect to make changes to our internal control over financial reporting in the future to remediate the material weakness identified above.
