WHEELS LABS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021

1.       DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Description of Business

 

Wheels Labs, Inc. (“Wheels,” “the Company,” “our”, and “we”) was incorporated in Delaware in August 2018 and is headquartered in California. Wheels is a micromobility company engaged in delivered electric transportation solutions for short distances. The Company partners with cities, universities, and private parties to bring lightweight Vehicles (“battery-powered bikes/scooters”) to residents and visitors in an effort to replace car trips by providing an alternative sustainable transportation option.

 

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.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted in accordance with GAAP rules and regulations. The information furnished in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect both the recorded values of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the revenues recognized and expenses incurred during the reporting period. The reasonableness of these estimates and assumptions is evaluated continually based on a combination of historical and other information that comes to the Company’s attention that may vary its outlook for the future. While management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, the Company recommends these interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with its audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its audit financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.

 

2.       GOING CONCERN AND RISKS AND UNCERTANTIES

 

Since its inception, the Company has reported recurring losses from operations and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company reported losses from operations of $23,261,386 and as of September 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $142,100,842. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $6,744,220 and at September 30, 2022 the Company had cash and equivalents totaling $204,953 and a working capital deficit of $23,093,874. As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in default for:

 

(a)non-payment under the terms of the loan and security agreement, refer to paragraph 8. Notes Payable. The loan has been subsequently amended, refer to paragraph 15. Subsequent event, for further information.
(b)non-payment under the terms of the convertible note agreement, refer to paragraph 9. Convertible Notes. The convertible notes have been subsequently converted into Common shares, refer to paragraph 15. Subsequent event, for further information.

 

Management continues to evaluate additional financing sources from new and existing investors and is in the process of renegotiating repayment terms with its primary vendors and lending partners; however, no assurances can be given that such negotiations will be successful or that additional sources of financing will be available on acceptable terms or within the timeframes needed to support the Company’s operations and continuing obligations. The failure to obtain additional equity or debt financing and/or renegotiate the terms of existing debt arrangements will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, future cash flows and financial condition.

 

The combination of the above factors raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern under the framework of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205.

WHEELS LABS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021

 

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

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The Consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wheels Labs, Inc. and its wholly–owned US and international subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and amounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The functional currency is U.S. dollars, and the consolidated financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars.

 

Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions

 

The functional currency of the Company’s foreign operations generally is the applicable local currency for each foreign subsidiary. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet dates. Net loss and cash flows of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. Translation gains or losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, which are subject to significant judgment including those related to: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) valuation of equity securities, (iii) income taxes, (iv) stock–based compensation, (v) useful lives associated with Vehicles and batteries, (vi) operating lease terms, and (vii) loss contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2019–12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which has the dual objective of simplifying the accounting for income taxes, while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. This update is effective for annual periods in 2022 for non–public entities, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe adoption of the new ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Cash and Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, on the date purchased, to be cash equivalents. In the normal course of business, the Company maintains checking and savings account balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (FDIC) insurance limits.

 

Spare Parts Inventory

 

Spare Part Inventory are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value and consist primarily of items used for the repair and maintenance of the Company’s vehicles.

September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021

 

Vehicles, net

 

Vehicles are used within the Company’s shared ride and long–term rental businesses. The capitalized costs of vehicles include the cost of bikes/scooters, batteries, integration costs, and freight from manufacturers and any customs or duties incurred. Depreciation on Vehicles is computed using the straight–line method over an estimated useful life of three years. Expenditures for repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Leases

 

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, or ASC 842, Leases, which requires recognition of Right of Use (ROU) assets and associated lease liabilities for most leases on our consolidated balance sheet. The Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective transition approach as of the effective date as permitted. As a result, the Company was not required to adjust comparative period financial information for the effects of the new accounting standard or make the new required lease disclosures for any accounting periods prior to the date of adoption. The Company also elected to use the package of practical expedients. As a result, the Company was not required to reassess (i) whether existing or expired contracts, as of the adoption date, contain leases, (ii) the lease classification for existing leases, and (iii) whether existing initial direct costs meet the new definition. The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate the lease and non-lease components of its leases, and to not recognize ROU assets and liabilities for leases with terms of twelve months or less. Lease costs for short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases.

 

The most significant impact of adopting the new accounting standard was the recognition of ROU assets and associated lease liabilities for operating leases on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

 

The amount of noncash, right-of use assets recorded for lease liabilities as of January 1, 2022, was $716,238 upon adoption of ASC 842.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s consolidated financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, trade payables, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities, and market interest rates, if applicable.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Shared Ride Revenue

 

The Company allows users to participate in the Company’s vehicle sharing program through its technology platform, the Wheels mobile application (“Wheels App”). To use one of the Company’s vehicles, the user contracts with the Company and pays for the ride from its preloaded wallet balance, or on a per–ride basis. Customers use the Wheels App to access and conclude a trip on the Company’s vehicles. The Company is responsible for providing access to the vehicles over the user’s desired period of use.

 

These transactions fall within the definition of a lease which is defined as a contract by which one party conveys land, property, or services to another for a specified time, in exchange for a payment. As such, the Company’s performance obligation is met upon the completion of the use of the asset or when the ride has ended. The Company accounts for Shared Ride revenues in accordance with ASC 842, Leases and records revenue upon completion of each ride.

 

Chargebacks: The Company’s third-party payment processing provider processes chargebacks that are initiated by customers. The value of those credits is recorded as reduction of revenues when the chargeback is completed. Chargebacks are not material for the nine months ended September, 2022, and 2021.

Long–term Rental Revenue

 

The Company also allows users to lease its vehicles and assorted equipment for extended periods of up to one year by registering via the Company website. Users accept the terms of use on the Company’s website and initiate payment and, in exchange the Company processes the rental order. Similar to Shared Ride Revenue, these transactions fall within the definition of a lease. Revenue under Long–term Rental arrangements is deferred until the delivery obligation of the vehicles is performed and the rental period has commenced, at which time revenue is recognized on a straight–line basis over the term of the underlying Long–term Rental agreement pursuant to ASC 842, Leases.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred revenue primarily consists of prepaid package payments made by customers which can be utilized at a later date from our Shared Ride services. Deferred revenue also includes prepayments made by customers related to vehicle rentals for periods longer than one ride. Long–term rentals are available to customers on a period–by–period basis, e.g., month by month basis. Prepayments are initially recorded as Deferred Revenue and subsequently recognized ratably over the term of the subscription. The Company has elected to use the practical expedient that allows the Company to expense the costs incurred to obtain a contract when the amortization period is less than one year.

 

Discounts and allowances

 

The Company’s discounts and allowances consist of costs associated with payments returned to individual users that arise out of disputes and discounts associated with prepaid purchases. The Company reviews these disputes and remits the proper amounts to users once it has determined that the disputed amounts have merit.

 

Cost of Revenue, exclusive of Depreciation

 

The Company’s Cost of Revenue, exclusive of depreciation, consists of costs associated with getting the Company’s Vehicles ready for use by its customers and deployed to our locations of operations. These costs consist of expenditures associated with warehouse crews, mechanics, transporters, data processing fees, warehouse utilities, equipment and supplies, rent and storage, and other direct operating expenses.

 

Research and Development

 

Costs incurred in connection with the research and development of the Company’s products is expensed as incurred. Research and development costs, include direct and allocated expenses.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses represent costs incurred in managing the Company’s business. Such costs include salaries and benefits for corporate personnel, legal costs, corporate facilities rent, shipping costs, software costs, and other administrative items.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740–10. Under ASC Topic 740–10, deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, the Company is required to assess differences between the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities and the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements using the tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the resulting deferred tax asset or liability is expected to be settled or realized. An allowance is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount that management believes will, more likely than not, be recovered.

 

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two–step process in which (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions would be sustained on the basis of technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more–likely–than–not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of the tax benefit or liability that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement to the related tax authority.

Stock–based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes all equity classified stock–based grants to employees and nonemployees based on the grant date fair value of the award. This grant date fair value is recognized as compensation cost over the period during which the employee or non-employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The fair value of the common stock on grant date has been determined by the Board, assisted by an independent appraisal, at each stock option measurement date. The Company’s policy is to issue shares, which have been previously authorized by the Board, upon the exercise of awards. The Company issues service–based awards, that generally vest at the rate of 25% on the one–year anniversary of the vesting commencement date and ratably thereafter over the next 36 months.

 

The fair value of stock options that vest solely based on a service condition is determined by the Black–Scholes–Merton Option (“BSM”) pricing model on the date of the grant. This valuation model for stock–based compensation expense requires the Company to make assumptions and judgement about the variables used in the BSM model, including the deemed fair value of common stock, expected term, expected volatility, risk free interest rate, and dividend yield. As the Company does not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post–vesting employment termination behavior, the Company determines the expected term based on the remaining contractual life of the stock options are expected to remain outstanding.

 

The fair value of the Common Stock underlying the stock option awards was determined by the Board of Directors. Given the absence of a public trading market, the Board of Directors considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of our Common Stock at each meeting at which awards were approved.

 

Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

 

The Company follows the two-class method when computing net loss per common share when shares are issued that meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method determines net income (loss) per common share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The Company’s redeemable convertible preferred stock contractually entitles the holders of such shares to participate in dividends but does not contractually require the holders of such shares to participate in the Company’s losses.

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period. For periods in which the Company reports net losses, diluted net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders, because potentially dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2022, and 2021, the potentially dilutive securities are as follows:

On May 12, 2022, the Company signed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Helbiz, Inc. (“Helbiz”) for the selling of all of the outstanding capital stock of Wheels (refer to paragraph 15. Subsequent event, for further information). Under the terms of the LOI, and following amendments, Helbiz agreed to provide Wheels with a good faith deposit of $2,600,987. The deposit is non-refundable unless the Company fails to comply with certain performance criteria and restrictive covenants as set forth in the LOI, or in the event the Company fails to take all reasonable steps to complete the proposed transaction.

 

8.       NOTES PAYABLE

 

In February 2019, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with a new lending partner under which it borrowed $10,000,000. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to make monthly interest–only payments through February 2020. Thereafter, the agreement provides for monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $346,755 through August 2022. Borrowings are collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company and bear interest at the rate of 12.5% per annum. In connection with the new loan and security agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 84,670 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock at $11.22 per share. In connection with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Financing (see Note 11), the original warrant was exchanged for a new warrant to purchase 538,688 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock at $1.76 per share.

 

In September 2021, the Company renegotiated the payment terms associated with the loan and security agreement, which had the effect of (i) temporarily deferring scheduled principal and interest payments (ii) reducing the annual interest rate from 12.5% to 12.0% per annum, and (iii) extending the term of the loan from August 2022 to June 2023. As consideration for agreeing to the new payment terms, the Company issued to its lending partner warrants to purchase 294,936 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock at $1.76 per share. All of the warrants are immediately vested and expire on July 31, 2031. As of September 30, 2022, none of the warrants had been exercised. The fair value of the warrant has been recorded as deferred financing costs and is being amortized over the terms of the underlying loan agreements. The fair value was calculated using the Black–Scholes Merton pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of approximately 80%, risk–free interest rate of 2.31% and expected life of 10.0 years. As of September 30, 2022, the unamortized portion of the deferred financing costs totaled $69,500. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and year ended December 31, 2021, outstanding borrowings, net of deferred financing costs, totaled $3,351,792 and $4,199,400, respectively.

 

Future minimum debt service payments, by year, are as follows:

 

Years ended December 31:    
2022  $1,850,930 
2023   1,570,358 
Total notes payable   3,421,288 
Deferred financing costs   (69,500)
      
Notes payable - current portion  $3,351,788 

 

As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in default for non-payment under the terms of the loan and security agreement. On November 18, 2022 the Company signed an amendment with the lender regarding restructuring the terms of repayment (see Note 15).

 

9.       CONVERTIBLE NOTES

 

In March 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a subordinated secured convertible note financing. Under the terms of the financing, the Company may issue subordinated secured convertible notes to new and existing investors for up to an aggregate of $15,000,000 in cash. Through June 22, 2022, the Company issued $7,343,733 of subordinated secured convertible notes, net of issuance costs of $144,851, to new and existing investors. The notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s Series A–1 Preferred Stock or a future series of Preferred Stock in which the Company raises at least $10 million of new money for the sale thereof. The notes bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum and all outstanding principal and interest is due on the earlier of (i) the demand of the Majority Investors on or after the 180 day after the date of issuance date, or (ii) the acceleration of the maturity following an Event of Default. An Event of Default occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as a result the Convertible Notes principal and accumulated interest were due as of September 30, 2022 and the Company was in default for non-payment under the Convertible Note agreement. On November 18, 2022, the Convertible Note holders converted the entire principal and accumulated interests into equity (refer to paragraph 15. Subsequent event, for further information).

Each purchaser of a note also received a warrant to purchase the number of shares equal to 40% of the note principal amount of the same security into which the note converts, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. Warrants to purchase a total of 1,669,623 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock were issued in connection with the sale of the subordinated secured convertible notes.

 

The Company has estimated the fair value of the warrants at the date of grant using the Black–Scholes option–pricing model using the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of approximately 80%, risk–free interest rate of 1.72%, and an expected life of 10 years.

 

At inception, the value of the warrants was allocated based on the relative fair values of the convertible notes and warrants. The warrant value of $2,083,417 was recorded as debt discount which is being amortized over 180 days: the life of the convertible notes. As a result, on September 30, 2022, the remaining unamortized debt discount on the above convertible notes was zero.

 

The interest expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 amounted to $185,102 and $357,801.

 

As September 30,2022 the total outstanding balance, inclusive of the accrued expenses, amounted to $7,701,534.

 

10.       PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM LOAN

 

In February 2021 and April 2021, the Company received loan proceeds in the aggregate amount of $5,033,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) which was established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act and is administered through the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The PPP provides loans to qualifying businesses in amounts up to 2.5 times their average monthly payroll expenses and was designed to provide a direct financial incentive for qualifying businesses to keep their workforce employed during the Coronavirus crisis. PPP loans are uncollateralized and guaranteed by the SBA and are forgivable after a “covered period” (eight or twenty-four weeks) as long as the borrower maintains its payroll levels and uses the loan proceeds for eligible expenses, including payroll, benefits, mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. The loans have five year terms, bear interest at the rate of 1% per annum, and all outstanding principal and interest is due on February 2026 and April 2026, respectively, subject to any portion of the loans which may be forgiven.

 

On September 14, 2022, the Company received notification from the SBA that following completion of its audit of the Company’s records that $4,885,008 (97%) of the outstanding loan balance, plus accrued but unpaid interest, was forgiven. The remaining balance of $147,992, plus interest, is due in February 2026 in accordance with the original loan terms.

 

11.       STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

The Company’s capital stock consists of Common stock and Convertible Preferred stock. The Company’s Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes 80,000,000 shares of Common stock and 60,143,709 shares of Preferred Stock, which may be issued in one or more series. 

 

In March 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a Series A–1 Preferred Stock financing and plan of reorganization, under which the Company issued 12,799,483 shares of its Series A–1 Preferred Stock to new and existing investors in a series of closings occurring between March 2021 and October 2021. As of June 30, 2021 the Company issued 4,393,722 shares which yielded total proceeds to the Company of $7,597,900, net of issuance costs of $135,095.

September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021

 

Common Stock

 

The holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by the Board of Directors. To date, no dividends have been declared.

 

Preferred Stock

 

The rights, privileges and preferences of the outstanding Preferred Stock are as follows:

 

Conversion Rights. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder, subject to certain anti–dilution and other adjustments, into the number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the original issuance price by the then–applicable conversion price. The Preferred Stock may also be converted into Common Stock upon the vote of a majority of the then–outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, or in the event of a qualified initial public offering of the Company’s securities, as defined. As of September 30, 2022, each share of Series A-1, A-1-2, A-1-3, A-1-4 and A-1-5 Preferred Stock was convertible into one share of Common Stock. 

 

Dividends. The holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive annual, non–cumulative dividends equal to 6% of the original issue price of the respective series of Preferred Stock, when and if declared by the Board of Directors. Such dividends are payable prior and in preference to any dividends that may be declared or paid on shares of Common Stock. Additional dividends, if declared in any calendar year, are payable ratably on the Common Stock and Preferred Stock. To date, no dividends have been declared by the Board of Directors.

 

Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive on a pari passu basis, prior and in preference to any distributions to the holders of Common Stock, an amount per share equal to the greater of either (i) the respective original issue price of each series of Preferred Stock, plus any declared and unpaid dividends, or (ii) the amount per share that would have been payable had all shares of the respective series of Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to the liquidation event. Thereafter, the remaining available proceeds shall be distributed to the holders of Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder of Common Stock. In the event the amount to be distributed to the holders of Preferred Stock is insufficient to permit the full payment of the preferential amount, then the amount legally available for distribution shall be distributed pro rata, on a pari passu basis, to the holders of Preferred Stock.

 

Voting Rights and Board of Directors. The holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all matters in which the Common Stock is entitled to vote.

12.       STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

In 2018, the Company adopted the 2018 Stock Plan (“Plan”) which authorizes the Company’s Board of Directors to grant incentive stock options (“ISOs”) or non–qualified stock options (“NQSOs”) to employees, directors and consultants. Options are generally granted at fair market value, have a term of up to ten years and are exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Board of Directors. Options generally vest at the rate of 25% on the one–year anniversary of the vesting commencement date and ratably over the next 36 months.

As of September 30, 2022, the shares reserved for future issuance under the Plan amounted to 4,233,319.

 

A summary of activity under the Plans is as follows:

 

   Number of Shares   Weighted
Average
Exercise Price
 
Balance as of December 31, 2021   6,123,881   $0.76 
Granted   115,865    0.59 
Exercised   (1,248)   0.59

September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021

 

The Company has estimated the fair value of its options at the date of grant using the Black–Scholes option–pricing model using the following assumptions:

 

   Nine-months ended
September 30, 2022
   Nine-months ended
September 30, 2021
 
         
Risk–free interest rate (1)   1.62%   1.02%
Dividend yield (2)   0%   0%
Weighted average expected life (3)   5.822    5.764 
Expected volatility (4)   61.57%   59.78%

 

1.Risk–Free Interest Rate – the risk–free interest rate is based on the observed interest rate of the U.S. Treasury yield for a term consistent with the expected life of the underlying option awards in effect on the date of grant.
2.Dividend Yield – the Company does not currently pay dividends and has no plans to do so in the future; therefore, the Company has assumed a dividend yield of zero.
3.Expected Term – the Company estimates the expected life of options granted based on the average of the weighted average vesting term and the contractual life of the option, which the Company believes is representative of future behavior.
4.Volatility – the Company estimates the expected volatility of its share price based on an evaluation of share prices for a representative set of publicly traded companies that operate within its primary industry.

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, was $98,006 and $4,057,655, respectively. The total fair value of shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $803,0534 and $1,207,978, respectively.

 

Total compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 was $813,006 and $1,271,175 respectively. Total compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 was $259,985 and $479,985, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, total compensation cost related to non–vested awards granted or modified that has not been recognized totaled $2,152,441. This compensation cost will be recognized over approximately 3 years.

 

13.       COMMITMENTS

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception, and, if a lease, what type of lease it is. The Company leases its office, warehouse and operating facilities throughout the U.S. and Europe under non–cancellable operating lease agreements, which generally have terms of 1 to 3 years and expire at various dates throughout 2023. The leases generally include options to renew for additional one–year periods or on a month–to–month basis and generally require the Company to pay property taxes, insurance, and normal maintenance costs. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based upon the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit borrowing rate. Therefore, the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate based upon its interest rate from a comparable secured loan. Lease expense for fixed lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company does not have finance leases and its short-term leases are immaterial. As of September 30, 2022, current liabilities related to operating leases were $354,113.

 

Future minimum obligations under operating leases in effect as of December 31, 2021, having a noncancelable term in excess of one year as determined prior to the adoption of ASU 842 for each of the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2023, are estimated to be $197,350 and $68,700, respectively.

 

As of September 30, 2022 the components of the Company’s leases are as follows:

 

   September 30, 2022 
     
Operating cash flows for leases  $428,564 
Operating lease right-of-use assets  $716,238 
Operating lease liabilities   354,113 
Operating lease liabilities, long term   362,125 
Total operating lease liabilities  $716,238

14.       LITIGATION AND OTHER CLAIMS

 

The Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business and has been named in various lawsuits related to use of the Company’s vehicles and in certain matters involving California Labor Code violations and the classification of individuals as independent contractors rather than employees.

 

Management monitors developments in claims and legal proceedings that could affect the amount of the provisions for losses and the disclosures that have been reported in the Company’s financial statements and makes adjustments to the provisions for losses and/or changes to its disclosures to reflect the impact of ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings and the advice of legal counsel. 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. However, based on an assessment by the Company’s legal counsel, the probability the Company will incur a loss is more likely than not for certain of these matters, and as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has accrued $2,000,000 and $1,500,000, respectively, for the estimated costs associated with resolving these matters.
