This Quarterly Report of micromobility.com (“we,” “us,” “our,” “micromobility” and the “Company”) contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. These statements appear in several different places in this Quarterly Report and, in some cases, can be identified by words such as “anticipates”, “estimates”, “projects”, “expects”, “contemplates”, “intends”, “believes”, “plans”, “may”, “will” or their negatives or other comparable words, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report may include, but are not limited to, statements and/or information related to: our financial performance and projections; our business prospects and opportunities; our business strategy and future operations; the projection of timing and delivery of products in the future; projected costs; expected production capacity; expectations regarding demand and acceptance of our products; estimated costs of machinery to equip a new production facility; trends in the market in which we operate; the plans and objectives of management; our liquidity and capital requirements, including cash flows and uses of cash; trends relating to our industry; plans relating to our electric vehicles (“EVs”); and plans and intentions to regain compliance with the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), including, among other things, through a reverse stock split.
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations about future events on information that is available as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and any forward-looking statements made by us speak only as of the date on which they are made. While we believe these expectations are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Our actual future results may differ materially from those discussed or implied in our forward-looking statements for various reasons, including, our ability to change the direction of the Company; our ability to keep pace with new technology and changing market needs; our capital needs, and the competitive environment of our business. Additional Factors that could contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to:
| ● | general economic and business conditions, including changes in interest rates; |
| ● | prices of other competitors services, costs associated with manufacturing e-scooters and similar devices and other economic conditions; |
| ● | the effect of an outbreak of disease or similar public health threat, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, on the Company’s business (natural phenomena, including the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic); |
| ● | the impact of political unrest, natural disasters or other crises, terrorist acts, acts of war and/or military operations, and our ability to maintain or broaden our business relationships and develop new relationships with strategic alliances, suppliers, customers, distributors or otherwise; |
| ● | the ability of our information technology systems or information security systems to operate effectively; |
| ● | actions by government authorities, including changes in government regulation; |
| ● | uncertainties associated with legal proceedings; |
| ● | changes in the size of the micromobility market; |
ii
| ● | future decisions by management in response to changing conditions; |
| ● | the Company’s ability to execute prospective business plans; |
| ● | misjudgments in the course of preparing forward-looking statements; |
| ● | the Company’s ability to raise sufficient funds to carry out its proposed business plan; |
| ● | inability to keep up with advances in micromobility and related battery technology; |
| ● | inability to design, develop, market and sell new e-scooters and similar devices and services that address additional market opportunities to generate revenue and positive cash flows; |
| ● | dependency on certain key personnel and any inability to retain and attract qualified personnel; |
| ● | inability to succeed in establishing, maintaining and strengthening the micromobility.com brand; |
| ● | disruption of supply or shortage of raw materials; |
| ● | the unavailability, reduction or elimination of government and economic incentives; |
| ● | failure to manage future growth effectively; and |
| ● | the other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our filings with the Security and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including but not limited to those described under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as amended for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”). |
Although management has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There is no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. These cautionary remarks expressly qualify, in their entirety, all forward-looking statements attributable to our Company or persons acting on our Company’s behalf. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting such statements, except as, and to the extent required by, applicable securities laws.

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
micromobility.com, Inc. (formerly known as Helbiz, Inc., and, together with its subsidiaries, “micromobility.com” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in October 2015 with its headquarters in New York, New York. The Company is an intra-urban transportation company that seeks to help urban areas reduce their dependency 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 vehicles in the sharing environment. Through its Mobility App, the Company offers an intra-urban transportation solution that allows users to instantly rent electric vehicles.
The Company currently has a strategic footprint with offices in New York, Los Angeles, 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, 2022, 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 U.S. 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, 2022, 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 expects to 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.
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.
| 6 |
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 determination of fair values of warrant and financial instruments.
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 June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13—Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU requires an entity to use a current expected credit loss methodology to measure impairments of certain financial assets and to recognize an allowance for its estimate of lifetime expected credit losses. The main objective of this update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted ASU 2016-13 on a prospective basis. The impact of adoption of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements was not material.
4. Revenue Recognition

As of September 30, 2023, Media Deferred Income was zero as a result of the early termination of the agreements entered into with LNPB (Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie B) for the commercialization of media rights. In detail, on June 15, 2023 and June 28, 2023, the Company received communications from the main live content provider, LNPB, notifying the early termination of the agreements related to the commercialization and broadcast of the Italian Serie B content.

6. Impairment of assets
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 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 was the main impairment indicator. 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 net 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. In detail, for the September 30, 2023 impairment testing, as compared to December 31, 2022 testing, the Company reduced the estimated future cash flows used in the impairment assessment, including revenues, margin, and capital expenditures to reflect the Company’s best estimates at this time. The updates to the estimated future cash flows each had a significant impact to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. 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.

10. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The Company is from time to time involved in legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory matters, indirect tax examinations or government inquiries and investigations that may arise in the ordinary course of business. Certain of these matters include speculative claims for substantial or indeterminate amounts of damages.
The Company records a liability when the Company believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the Company discloses the possible loss in the consolidated financial statements. The Company reviews the developments in contingencies that could affect the amount of the provisions that have been previously recorded. The Company adjusts provisions and changes to disclosures accordingly to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information. Significant judgment is required to determine both the probability and the estimated amount of any potential losses and many of the legal proceedings are early in the discovery stage and unresolved.
As
of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company concluded that certain losses on litigations were probable and reasonably estimable;
as a result, the Company recorded $

11. Standby Equity Purchase Agreements
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company entered into two Standby Equity Purchase Agreements (“2023 SEPAs”) with an investor. The 2023 SEPAs terms and conditions represent: i) at inception - a purchased put option on the Company’s Class A common shares and, ii) upon delivery of an advance notice - a forward contract on the Company’s Class A common shares. Neither the purchased put option nor the forward contract qualify for equity classification.
As a result of the above classification of the 2023 SEPAs, at inception the Company expensed as SEPA’s transactions costs the legal and commitment fees that exceeded the fair value of the purchased put options. The settlement of forward contracts initiated by the Company were recorded as other SEPA financial income (expense), net.

2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan
The Company adopted the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”) under which the Company may issue equity incentives to selected employees, officers, and director of the Company. The 2023 Plan permits the grant of Incentive Stock Options, Non-statutory Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance Units and Performance Shares.
Under the 2023 Plan, stock options are to be granted at a price that is not less than 100% of the fair value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant. Awards for employee vest 25% on the first anniversary of the date of grant and ratably each month over the ensuing 36-month period. Awards for independent board members vest ratably each quarter over the ensuing 4-quarter period. The maximum term for stock options granted under the 2023 Plan might not exceed ten years from the date of grant.
Upon original approval, the Company reserved shares of the Company’s Class A common stock for issuance under the 2023 Plan, no equity incentives have been issued as of September 30, 2023, under the 2023 Plan.
The following potentially dilutive outstanding shares (considering a retroactive application of the conversion ratio) were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect, or issuance of such shares is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions which were not satisfied by the end of the period.

Nasdaq delisting letters
On October 31, 2023, the Company received an additional written notice of determination of delisting (the “Notice”) from the Staff notifying the Company that, based on the market value of the Company’s class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), the Company did not comply with the market value of listed securities requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”). The Rule requires listed securities to maintain a market value of listed securities of not less than $35 million (the “Market Value of Listed Securities Requirement”), and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C) provides that a failure to meet the Market Value of Listed Securities Requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive trading days. The Notice stated that the Company’s failure to satisfy the Market Value of Listed Securities Requirement served as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s listed securities.
On November 6, 2023, the Company received an additional written notice of determination of delisting from the Staff notifying the Company that, based on the composition of its board of directors, the Company did not comply with the audit committee requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2) (the “Board Rule”). The Board Rule requires a listed company to maintain an audit committee of the board of directors that is comprised of at least three independent directors, as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) (together with the Board Rule, the "Board Independence Rule"). This notice stated that the Company’s failure to satisfy the Board Independence Rule serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s listed securities. The Company provided a response to Nasdaq on November 7, 2023.
On November 9, 2023, the Company received a determination from the Nasdaq Stock Market granting the Company’s request for the continued listing of its common stock on Nasdaq, subject to the Company evidencing compliance with all applicable criteria for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and certain other interim conditions.

Further, the Panel also advised it reserves the right to reconsider the terms of the foregoing based on any event, condition or circumstance that exists or develops that would, in the opinion of the Panel, make continued listing of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market inadvisable or unwarranted.

On March 30, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders at which the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s restated certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
On March 30, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a one-for-fifty (1:50) reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock and a change in name from “Helbiz, Inc.” to “micromobility.com, Inc.” (the “Company Name Change”). On March 30, 2023, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of amendment to its Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split and the Company Name Change. The Reverse Stock Split became effective on March 30, 2023.
As a result of the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, every fifty shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were automatically combined, converted and changed into one share of the Company’s common stock, without any change in the number of authorized shares or the par value per share. In addition, a proportionate adjustment was made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and warrants to purchase shares of common stock and the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive compensation plans. No fractional shares have been issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, any fractional shares resultant from the Reverse Stock Split have been rounded up to the next whole share.
On June 15, 2023 and June 28, 2023, the Company received communications from the main live content provider, LNPB (Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie B), notifying the early termination of the agreements related to the commercialization and broadcast of the Italian Serie B content.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company decided to close the business line related to the food delivery services, which was in a start-up phase.
On November 13, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders at which the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s restated certificate of Incorporation to (i) authorize a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) within a range of one-for-fifty (1:50) and one-for-two-hundred (1:200) (or any number in between), with the exact ratio to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion (the “Reverse Stock Split Proposal”), and (ii) authorize the increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock of the Company from four hundred million shares (consisting of 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock) to one billion shares (consisting of 900,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock) (the “Authorized Increase Proposal”), and (iii) authorize the removal of the class B common stock, par value $0.00001 per share from the authorized capital stock of the Company (“Class B Removal Proposal”).
On November 13, 2023, upon the adoption of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, the Board approval for a one-for-one-hundred-fifty (1:150) reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) became effective which is approved to occur on December 4, 2023, or soon thereafter. On November 13, 2023, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of amendment to its Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to effect the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, Authorized Increase Proposal, and Class B Removal Proposal. The Reverse Stock Split Proposal is to become effective as of 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time on December 4, 2023, or soon thereafter and the Company’s common stock is expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the Nasdaq Stock Market opens on December 4, 2023, or soon thereafter.

Due to the Authorized Increase Proposal, the authorized number of shares of common stock has increased from 300 million to 900 million as of November 13, 2023.

These decreases were primarily due to: a) the decrease of Media revenues for the early termination of the LNPB agreements, and b) the decrease of Mobility revenues driven by the Company’s strategy to exit not profitable market in order to decrease the operating cash burn.
Mobility revenues
Mobility revenues decreased by $2,239, or 33%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared with nine months ended September 30, 2022 and decreased by $1,216, or 49%, from $2,463 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, to $1,247 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. As shown in the paragraph Mobility - Key Financial Measures and Indicators, Trips and QAPUs decreased in the mobility business in the periods analyzed. The decreases are explained by the Company’s strategy to decrease the operating cash used by the micro-mobility business in order to achieve the goal of becoming cash positive which resulted in closing some of the operating markets.
Media revenues
On June 15, 2023, and June 28, 2023, the Company received communications from the main live content provider, LNPB, notifying the early termination of the agreements related to the commercialize and broadcast of the Italian Serie B content. The early termination generated a significant decrease of Media revenues.
Media revenues decreased by $376, or 9%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared with nine months ended September 30, 2022 and decreased by $842, or 78%, in the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared with three months ended September 30, 2022. The decreases for the three and nine months are mainly explained by the early termination of LNPB agreements.

The decreases are mainly explained by the Company strategies to decrease the operating cash burn and to focus on the Mobility business.
Mobility Cost of revenues
The Mobility Cost of Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, are highly impacted by the vehicle deposit write-offs. Removing the write-offs of $3,021 would result in a $3,416 or 23%, decreases of the Mobility Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Mobility Cost of Revenues decreased by $2,566 or 49%, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
The Mobility Cost of revenues decreases are explained by the Company’s strategy to decrease the operating cash used by the micro-mobility business in order to achieve the goal of becoming cash positive which resulted in closing some of the operating markets.
Media Cost of revenues
Cost of Revenues related to Media decreased by $2,594, or 96%, and by $3,638, or 27%, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The decrease was mainly driven by the decrease in media content acquired during the period, including the early termination of LNPB agreements, occurred in June 2023.

One of the main drivers of such decreases is the reduction of stock-based compensation by $563 or 92% and $1,929 or 85% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.
Impairment of assets
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 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 was the main impairment indicator. 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 net carrying value of Goodwill of $13,826 and Intangible assets of $2,619, which are included within Impairment of assets in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
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.
The table below shows the Impairment of assets composition for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

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.
| 20 |
Trips. We define Trips as the number of completed rides in a given period. To further clarify, a single-use 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.
| 21 |
Active Markets. We track the number of active markets (cities) that we operate in.
Italy
We operate in Italy in the micro-mobility environment, based on number of licenses awarded, and number of vehicles authorized. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we provided sharing electric mobility services in the following cities: Rome, Milan, Turin, Naples, Parma, Palermo, Pisa, Modena, Ravenna, Bari, Fiumicino, San Benedetto del Tronto, Grottammare, Cesena and Catania.

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 our 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, 2023, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $962, excluding restricted cash of $291 (included in prepaid and other current assets) and SEPA agreement entered during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
| • | On March 8, 2023, the Company entered into another Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“2023 March SEPA”) with YA II, Ltd. Pursuant to the 2023 March SEPA, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to YA up to $50,000 of its shares of Class A Common Stock at any time during the 24 months. To request a purchase, the Company submits an Advance Notice to YA specifying the number of shares, it intends to sell. As of September 30, 2023 only $35,800 remained available under the March 2023 SEPA. |
We collect the fees from riders using a third-party processing payment provider. 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.
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.
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.

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.
Our significant accounting policies are described in greater detail in Note 3, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates” to our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and in Note 3, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates” to our condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2023. 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.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is tested for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the reporting unit may be in excess of its fair value. As part of the annual goodwill impairment test, the Company first performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. If, as a result of its qualitative assessment, it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test will be required. Alternatively, the Company may bypass the qualitative assessment and perform a quantitative impairment test.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property, equipment, and intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Such events and changes may include: significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results, changes in asset use, negative industry or economic trends, and changes in the Company’s business strategy. The Company measures the recoverability of these assets first by comparing the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows that the assets or the asset group are expected to generate. If such assets or asset groups are considered to be impaired, an impairment loss would be recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
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.
Accounting Pronouncement Adopted in the Current Year
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13—Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU requires an entity to use a current expected credit loss methodology to measure impairments of certain financial assets and to recognize an allowance for its estimate of lifetime expected credit losses. The main objective of this update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted ASU 2016-13 on a prospective basis. The impact of adoption of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements was not material.

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, 2023. 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 implemented controls over financial reporting including preparation and review of standardized reconciliation schedules to ensure the company's books and records are maintained in accordance with U.S. 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. |

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, and we may continue to be involved in such legal proceedings. Currently, there are several product liability claims against us none of which, other than as discussed below, is material by itself. If several of these claims were to be decided against our interest or if our product liability insurance were not to cover several of these claims, we might need to divert resources from our operations to pay for such claims, and our results of operations would be correspondingly affected.
The claims against us that we deem as potentially material are:
| • | We were served with a claim against us by the sponsor of the special purpose acquisition company with which we merged in August 2021 for an alleged failure to timely register shares of our Class A common stock. We are assessing the best methods to proceed in connection with this claim; and |
| • | We have entered into a settlement agreement with a party that had a claim against us from prior to our acquisition of Wheels. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, we are to pay a total of $675,000 in seven monthly payments ending in November 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the remaining settlement amount to be paid amounted to $260,000. |
Our subsidiary, Wheels, has been named in various lawsuits related to the use of Wheels’s vehicles in U.S. cities and in certain matters involving California Labor Code violations and the classification of individuals as independent contractors rather than employees. We have estimated the range of loss for the Wheels legal contingencies accrued as between $548,000 to $3.1 million which represents the range between the amount already settled with the counterparts and the amount claimed deducting insurance coverage.
As of September 30, 2023, we concluded that certain losses on litigations were probable and reasonably estimable. As a result, we recorded an aggregate of approximately $1,994,000 in our unaudited interim financial statement for the period ended September 30, 2023 as “Accruals” for legal contingencies.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Although as a Smaller Reporting Company we are not required to provide this information, we refer you to the sections of our annual report on Form 10-K and our registration statement on Form S-3 entitled “Risk Factors”. In addition to the risk factors contained in those documents and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission available on its Edgar filing website, we would like to draw your attention to the following risks:
The Company’s retail storefront is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties.
The Company’s retail operations are subject to many factors that pose risks and uncertainties and could adversely impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition, including macroeconomic factors that could have an adverse effect on general retail activity. Other factors include the Company’s ability to: manage costs associated with retail store leases, maintenance and operation; manage relationships with existing third party retail partners; manage costs associated with fluctuations in the value of retail inventory; and obtain and renew leases at a reasonable cost.
We have hyper-diluted our shareholders’ ownership position, and we may continue to do so.
We operate at a loss and have needed to raise capital to continue to fund operations. Many of these capital raises have been in the form of equity offerings, including hybrid offerings such as debt that is convertible into shares of our common stock. Each such equity raise diluted the economic ownership and voting power of our shareholders of Class A Common Stock prior to such raise. In the aggregate these equity raises were the primary reason that:
| • | the total outstanding shares of our class A common stock increased from approximately 325,800 at December 31, 2021 to 285,526,127 at November 14, 2023; |
| • | in the three months ended September 30, 2023, the total outstanding shares of our class A common stock increased from 49,041,609 to 176,684,518; and |
| • | since the end of our most recent fiscal quarter on September 30 to the date hereof, the number of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock has increased 26% from 225,726,127 to 285,526,127. |
We expect that we will need to obtain additional equity financing to fund our operations. Such financings may be on terms that continue to result in significant dilution to shareholders, in per share value and/or voting power, or that result in shareholders losing all of their investment in the Company. Such financings may be at prices substantially below our per share price or our per share net tangible book value.
| 29 |
The market price of shares of our Class A Common Stock has dropped dramatically and may continue to do so.
The market value of a share of our Class A Common Stock has dropped dramatically. By way of example:
| • | When we conducted our business combination and ceased to be a Special Purpose Acquisition Corporation in August 2021, each share of Class Common Stock had a value of approximately $500 per share. As of November 13, 2023, the closing price for a share of our Class A Common Stock was approximately $0.0258 per share; and |
| • | The closing price of a share of our Class A Common Stock on September 30, 2022 was $17.65 and fell to $0.060 by September 29, 2023. |
This dramatic decrease in in the per share price of our common stock is due to multiple factors including the hyper dilution of our Class A Common Stock, our inability to increase our revenues as anticipated or to operate at a profit, our inability to execute our business plan as envisioned and a negative market perception of the operation and viability of our enterprise. If the per share price of our Class A Common Stock further deteriorates, the value of any investment you have made, or may make, in our Company will correspondingly decline.
We have few shareholders with significant ownership positions, and it could become difficult to find a sufficient number of shareholders to obtain approval for actions requiring shareholder approval or to obtain a quorum to hold shareholder meetings.
As of November 14, 2023, no shareholder individually, or to our knowledge in a group, owns more than 2% of our common stock (excluding warrants and convertible securities for which the exercise price or conversion price exceeds our current market price). As a result, we will need to conduct an extensive proxy campaign to ensure that we receive more than 50% of the votes of the common stock for any matter requiring more than 50% of the vote of the common stock, and such a campaign may not be successful. For those matters that only require a majority of the votes attending a shareholder meeting, we may have difficulty obtaining a quorum. Our bylaws and Delaware law require a quorum of 33.33% to conduct a shareholder meeting. Because of our diverse and retail-centered shareholder base, we may only be able to obtain a quorum after an extensive and expensive proxy campaign, if we can obtain a quorum at all. Our ability to obtain a quorum could be adversely affected by any additional issuances of common stock as a part of equity capital raises.
If we are unable to obtain a quorum, we may be unable to take necessary corporate actions without creating additional classes of preferred stock with preferred voting power. Any such issuance of preferred stock with preferred voting power would decrease the ability of our common stockholders to control management and, in most instances, would violate Nasdaq’s continued listing standards and would lead to the delisting of our Class A common shares from the Nasdaq Capital Market.
We have received multiple letters from Nasdaq stating that we are not in compliance with their continued listing requirements, and we might not be able to regain compliance or may cease to be in compliance with additional listing requirements. If as a result of the non-compliance Nasdaq delists our Class A Common Stock, the liquidity and market price of our Class A Common Stock could decline or cease to exist.
Our Class A Common Stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy certain continued listing requirements. If we are deficient in maintaining the necessary listing requirements, our common stock may be delisted.
We have received multiple letters from Nasdaq indicating that we are not in compliance with their continued listing requirements, including:
| • | On August 4, 2023, we received a Staff Delisting Determination letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), advising us that as of August 4, 2023, our class A common stock had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for at least ten consecutive trading days and is subject to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) (the "Low Price Stocks Rule"). Accordingly, unless we request an appeal of this Staff Delisting Determination, the Staff has advised us that our class A common stock will be scheduled for delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market on August 15, 2023, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which will remove our class A common stock from listing and registration on Nasdaq. |
| • | On June 15, 2023, we received a letter from the Nasdaq Staff indicating we were not in compliance with the continued listing requirement that we maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. We have 180 days from receipt of such notice (until December 12, 2023) to remedy such non-compliance. To regain compliance, the Company must maintain a closing bid price of $1.00 or more for ten consecutive business days. In the event we do not regain compliance within the 180-day period, our Class A Common Stock and publicly traded warrants may be subject to delisting. |
| • | On May 2, 2023 we received a letter from the Nasdaq Staff indicating we were not in compliance with their continued listing requirement that we maintain a market value for our shares of Class A Common Stock together with our publicly traded warrants in excess of $35 million. We have 180 days from receipt of such notice (until October 30, 2023) to remedy such non-compliance, unless such period is extended at Nasdaq’s discretion. To regain compliance, our Class A Common Stock together with our publicly traded warrants must be valued at over $35 million or more for ten consecutive business days. |
| • | On June 15, 2023, we received a letter from the Nasdaq Staff indicating we were not in compliance with the continued listing requirement that we maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. We have 180 days from receipt of such notice (until December 12, 2023) to remedy such non-compliance. To regain compliance, the Company must have maintained a closing bid price of $1.00 or more for ten consecutive business days. In the event we do not regain compliance within the 180-day period, our Class A Common Stock and publicly traded warrants may be subject to delisting. |
| 30 |
| • | On August 4, 2023, we received a staff delisting determination letter from the Nasdaq Staff advising us that as of August 4, 2023, our class A common stock had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for at least ten consecutive trading days and is subject to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii). To regain compliance, the Company must have maintained a closing bid price of $1.00 or more for ten consecutive business days. |
| • | On October 31, 2023, we received a staff delisting determination letter (the “Notice”) from Nasdaq Staff notifying the Company that, based on the market value of the Company’s class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), the Company did not comply with the market value of listed securities requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). To regain compliance, our class A common stock together with our publicly traded warrants must be valued at over $35 million or more for ten consecutive business days. |
| • | On November 6, 2023, the Company received an additional written notice of determination of delisting from the Staff notifying the Company that, based on the composition of its board of directors, the Company did not comply with the audit committee requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2) (the “Board Rule”). The Board Rule requires a listed company to maintain an audit committee of the board of directors that is comprised of at least three independent directors, as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) (together with the Board Rule, the "Board Independence Rule"). This notice stated that the Company’s failure to satisfy the Board Independence Rule serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s listed securities. |
If Nasdaq after the applicable compliance periods proceeds to delist our securities and we are not able to remedy the non-compliance, Nasdaq would delist our common stock from trading on its exchange. If we are not able to list our securities on another national securities exchange, we expect our securities could be quoted on the OTCQB or the “pink sheets.” If this occurs, we could face material adverse consequences, including:
| • | a limited availability of market quotations for our securities; | |
| • | reduced liquidity for our securities; | |
| • | a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities; | |
| • | a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and | |
| • | a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. |
If we are delisted and are unable to have our securities quoted on the OTCQB or “pink sheets” or similar bulletin board, our shareholders would not be able to resell their securities in a public market. The Company believes that if its common stock were to be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, its warrants that are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol MCOMW would be concurrently delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

There have been no sales of unregistered equity securities that we have not previously disclosed in filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
