The Company
 
Reverse Merger and Exchange Ratio
 
On January 30, 2018, DC Acquisition Corporation (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of WPCS International Incorporated (“WPCS”), completed its merger with and into DropCar, Inc. (“Private DropCar”), with Private DropCar surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of WPCS. This transaction is referred to as the “Reverse Merger.” The Reverse Merger was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), dated September 6, 2017, by and among WPCS, Private DropCar and Merger Sub.
 
As a result of the Reverse Merger, each outstanding share of Private DropCar share capital (including shares of Private DropCar share capital issued upon the conversion of outstanding convertible debt) automatically converted into the right to receive approximately 0.3273 shares of WPCS’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Exchange Ratio”). Following the closing of the Reverse Merger, holders of WPCS’s common stock immediately prior to the Reverse Merger owned approximately 22.9% on a fully diluted basis, and holders of Private DropCar common stock immediately prior to the Reverse Merger owned approximately 77.1% on a fully diluted basis, of WPCS’s common stock.
 
The Reverse Merger has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting where Private DropCar is considered the accounting acquirer and WPCS is the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Private DropCar was determined to be the accounting acquirer based on the terms of the Merger Agreement and other factors, such as relative voting rights and the composition of the combined company’s board of directors and senior management, which was deemed to have control. The pre-acquisition financial statements of Private DropCar became the historical financial statements of WPCS following the Reverse Merger. The historical financial statements, outstanding shares and all other historical share information have been adjusted by multiplying the respective share amount by the Exchange Ratio as if the Exchange Ratio had been in effect for all periods presented.
 
Immediately following the Reverse Merger, the combined company changed its name from WPCS International Incorporation to DropCar, Inc. The combined company following the Reverse Merger may be referred to herein as “the combined company,” “DropCar,” or the “Company.”
 
The Company’s shares of common stock listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, previously trading through the close of business on January 30, 2018 under the ticker symbol “WPCS,” commenced trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market, on a post-Reverse Stock Split adjusted basis, under the ticker symbol “DCAR” on January 31, 2018.
 
On September 25, 2018, the Company received a notification letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") informing the Company that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company’s securities had closed below $1.00 per share, which is the minimum required closing bid price for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
 
This notice has no immediate effect on the Company's Nasdaq listing; the Company has 180 calendar days, or until March 25, 2019, to regain compliance. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s securities must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. If the Company does not regain compliance by March 25, 2019, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, the Company may request a hearing before a Hearings Panel.
 
Acquisition Accounting
 
The fair value of WPCS assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based upon management’s estimates assisted by an independent third-party valuation firm. The assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period up to one year from date of acquisition. Critical estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from customer relationships and the trade name, present value and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates.

Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Information
 
The accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2018, the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are unaudited. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the DropCar, Inc’s. 2017 financial statements included in the Company’s Form 8-K/A filed on April 2, 2018. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2018, and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. The financial data and other information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements related to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 are unaudited.
 
The Company has two reportable operating segments: DropCar Operating Company, Inc. (“DropCar Operating”) and WPCS International Suisun City, Inc. and related subsidiaries (“WPCS”).
 
DropCar Operating
 
DropCar Operating is a provider of automotive vehicle support, fleet logistics, and concierge services for both consumers and the automotive industry. Its cloud-based Enterprise Vehicle Assistance and Logistics (“VAL”) platform and mobile application (“app”) assists consumers and automotive-related companies to reduce the costs, hassles and inefficiencies of owning a car, or fleet of cars, in urban centers. In July 2018, DropCar Operating launched its Mobility Cloud platform which provides automotive-related businesses with a 100% self-serve SaaS version of its VAL platform to manage their own operations and drivers, as well as customer relationship management (“CRM”) tools that enable their clients to schedule and track their vehicles for service pickup and delivery. DropCar Operating’s Mobility Cloud also provides access to private APIs (application programming interface) which automotive-businesses can use to integrate DropCar Operating’s logistics and field support directly into their own applications and processes natively, to create more seamless client experiences.
 
On the enterprise side, OEMs, dealers, and other service providers in the automotive space are increasingly being challenged with consumers who have limited time to bring in their vehicles for maintenance and service, making it difficult to retain valuable post-sale service contracts or scheduled consumer maintenance and service appointments. Additionally, many of the vehicle support centers for automotive providers (i.e., dealerships, including body work and diagnostic shops) have moved out of urban areas thus making it more challenging for OEMs and dealers in urban areas to provide convenient and efficient service for their consumer and business clientele. Similarly, shared mobility providers and other fleet managers, such as rental car companies and car share programs, face a similar urban mobility challenge: getting cars to and from service bays, rebalancing vehicle availability to meet demand in fleeting and de-fleeting vehicles to and from dealer lots, auction sites and to other locations.
 
While DropCar Operating’s business-to-business (“B2B”) and business-to-consumer (“B2C”) services generate revenue and help meet the unmet demand for vehicle support services, DropCar Operating is also building-out a platform and customer base that it believes positions it well for developments in the automotive space when vehicles become partially to fully autonomous and vehicle ownership becomes more subscription based with transportation services and concierge options well-suited to match a customer’s immediate needs.
 
To date, the Company operates primarily in the New York metropolitan area. In May 2018, the Company expanded operations with its B2B business in San Francisco. In June 2018 the Company expanded its B2B operations in Washington DC. In August 2018, the Company expanded B2B operations to Los Angeles. These three new market expansions are with a major original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) customer.
 
WPCS
 
WPCS provides low voltage communication infrastructure services. WPCS specializes in the installation and service of low voltage communications, voice and data networks, security systems, audio-visual solutions, and distributed antenna systems and provide experienced project management and deliver complex projects to key vertical markets that include healthcare, education, transportation, energy and utilities, oil and gas, manufacturing, commercial real estate, financial, and government, etc.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Liquidity and Basis of Presentation
 
The Company has a limited operating history and the sales and income potential of its business and market are unproven. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $21.6 million and has experienced net losses each year since its inception. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur net losses into the foreseeable future and will need to raise additional capital to continue. The Company’s cash is sufficient to fund its operations into the first quarter of 2019. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q.
 
Management’s plan includes raising funds from outside investors, and through the potential sale of the Company’s subsidiary, WPCS International Suisan City, Inc. However, there is no assurance that outside funding will be available to the Company, outside funding will be obtained on favorable terms or will provide the Company with sufficient capital to meet its objectives. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets, carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on April 2, 2018. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions for Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, since they are interim statements, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements, but reflect all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future periods. The December 31, 2017 balance sheet information was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. 
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The unaudited consolidated financial statements represent the consolidation of the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries in conformity with GAAP. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Segment Reporting
 
In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 280 “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”), the Company has two operating segments, DropCar Operating and WPCS. The Company reviews the operating results of the two different segments in order to allocate resources and assess performance for the Company as a whole.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, codified as ASC 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018 using modified retrospective basis and the cumulative effect was immaterial to the financial statements.

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to the customers. A good or service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that good or service. A performance obligation may be satisfied over time or at a point in time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring the Company’s progress in satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that depicts the transfer of the goods or services to the customer. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that the Company determines the customer obtains control over the promised good or service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those promised goods or services (i.e., the “transaction price”). In determining the transaction price, the Company considers multiple factors, including the effects of variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainties with respect to the amount are resolved. In determining when to include variable consideration in the transaction price, the Company considers the range of possible outcomes, the predictive value of its past experiences, the time period of when uncertainties expect to be resolved and the amount of consideration that is susceptible to factors outside of the Company’s influence, such as the judgment and actions of third parties.
 
DropCar Operating
 
DropCar Operating contracts are generally designed to provide cash fees to us on a monthly basis or an agreed upfront rate based upon demand services. The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied over time as the service is provided continuously throughout the service period. The Company recognizes revenue evenly over the service period using a time-based measure because the Company is providing a continuous service to the customer. Contracts with minimum performance guarantees or price concessions include variable consideration and are subject to the revenue constraint. The Company uses an expected value method to estimate variable consideration for minimum performance guarantees and price concessions. The Company has constrained revenue for expected price concessions during the period ended September 30, 2018.
 
Monthly Subscriptions
 
DropCar Operating offers a selection of subscriptions and on-demand services which include parking, valet, and access to other services. The contract terms are on a month-to-month subscription contract with fixed monthly or contract term fees. These subscription services include a fixed number of round-trip deliveries of the customer’s vehicle to a designated location. The Company allocates the purchase price among the performance obligations which results in deferring revenue until the service is utilized or the service period has expired. In July 2018, DropCar Operating began assessing demand for a Self-Park Spaces monthly parking plan whereby consumers could designate specific garages for their vehicles to be stored at a base monthly rate, with personal 24/7 access for picking up and returning their vehicle directly, and the option to pay a la carte on a per hour basis for a driver to perform functions such as picking up and returning their vehicle to their front door. This model aligns more directly with how the Company has structured the enterprise B2B side of its business, where an interaction with a vehicle on behalf of its drivers typically generates net new revenue. The DropCar Operating consumer Self-Park Spaces plan combined with its on-demand hourly valet service are the only consumer plans offered from September 1, 2018 onwards. Subscriber plans prior to this date continued to receive service on a prorated basis through the end of August 2018. Additionally, the Company is scaling back its 360 Services for the Consumer portion of the market. As a result of this shift, in August 2018, the Company began to significantly streamline its field teams, operations and back office support tied to its pre-September 1, 2018 consumer subscription plans.
 
 On Demand Valet and Parking Services
 
DropCar Operating offers to consumers certain on demand services through its mobile application. The customer is billed at an hourly rate upon completion of the services. Revenue is recognized when the Company had satisfied all performance obligations which is upon completion of the service.

DropCar 360 Services
 
DropCar Operating offers to consumers certain services upon request including vehicle inspection, maintenance, car washes or to fill up with gas. The customers are charged a fee in addition to the cost of the third-party services provided. Revenue is recognized when the Company had satisfied all performance obligations which is upon completion of the service.
 
On Demand Business-To-Business
 
DropCar Operating also has contracts with car dealerships, car share programs and others in the automotive industry transporting vehicles. Revenue is recognized at the point in time all performance obligations are satisfied which is when the Company provide the delivery service of the vehicles.
 
WPCS
 
WPCS generates its revenue by offering low voltage communications infrastructure contracting services.
 
WPCS recognizes revenue and profit from long term contracts when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of promised goods or service to a customer. Revenue is recognized over time by measuring progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.
 
WPCS uses an input method which recognizes revenue over time based on WPCS’s labor and materials costs expended for a period as a percentage of total labor and materials costs expected to satisfy the performance obligation of delivering the overall infrastructure project. Input method is used because management believes it is the best available method that measures revenue on the basis of the company’s inputs toward satisfaction of the performance obligation. Inputs costs include direct materials, direct labor, third party subcontractor services and those indirect costs related to contract performance.
 
WPCS has numerous contracts that are in various stages of completion. Such contracts require estimates to determine the appropriate cost and revenue recognition. Cost estimates are reviewed monthly on a contract-by-contract basis and are revised periodically throughout the life of the contract such that adjustments to profit resulting from revisions are made cumulative to the date of the revision. Significant management judgments and estimates, including the estimated cost to complete projects, which determines the project’s percent complete, must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in the accounting period. Current estimates may be revised as additional information becomes available. If estimates of costs to complete long-term contracts indicate a loss, provision is made currently for the total loss anticipated.
 
The length of WPCS’s contracts varies but is typically between three months and two years. Assets and liabilities related to long-term contracts are included in current assets and current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as they will be liquidated in the normal course of contract completion, although this may require more than one year. Contract assets represents revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed. Contract liabilities represents billings in excess of revenue recognized.
 
WPCS also recognizes revenue from short-term contracts at a point in time when the services have been provided to the customer.
 
For maintenance contracts, revenue is recognized ratably over the service period.

WPCS Net Contract Liabilities
 
As of September 30, 2018, and January 31, 2018 (date of acquisition), WPCS net contract liabilities consisted of the following:

 $(2,050,673)
 
The $516,395 decrease in net contract liabilities for the eight month period from January 31, 2018 ending September 30, 2018 is attributable to the decrease in the net contract liability balances of WPCS’s uncompleted long and short-term contracts due to completion or substantial completion of various projects which were previously billed in advance. In WPCS’s contracts, amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms which are either at periodic intervals or upon satisfaction of contractual obligation. These progressive billings sometimes occur subsequent to recognition of revenue resulting in contract assets. However, some progressive billings occur before recognition of revenue which results into contract liabilities. These liabilities are liquidated when revenues are recognized by satisfying the performance obligations. There was no impairment of any contract assets recognized during the period.

WPCS Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations
 
WPCS’s remaining or unsatisfied performance obligation at September 30, 2018 was approximately $18 million. Remaining or unsatisfied performance obligation are comprised of original contract amounts and change orders for which WPCS has obtained written confirmations. These remaining unsatisfied performance obligation increases with awards of new contracts and decreases as WPCS performs work and recognize revenue on existing contracts.

Employee Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company recognizes all employee share-based compensation as a cost in the financial statements. Equity-classified awards principally related to stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and equity-based compensation, are measured at the grant date fair value of the award. The Company determines grant date fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of RSUs are determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. For service-based vesting grants, expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period based on the number of options or shares expected to ultimately vest. Stock-based compensation is reversed for forfeitures in the period of forfeiture.
 
The Company has one equity incentive plan, the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). As of September 30, 2018, there were 38,875 shares reserved for future issuance under the Plan.
 
On September 26, 2018 the Company’s Board of Directors resolved to increase the options under this plan. The resolution is subject to approval from the stockholders on the adoption of an amendment to the WPCS International Incorporated Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan at the annual meeting on November 15, 2018. If this proposal is approved, the number of shares authorized for issuance of awards under the Plan will be increased from 2,527,272 to an aggregate of 4,239,772 shares of common stock. In connection with this amendment, the Company is changing the name of the Plan to the “DropCar, Inc. Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan” to reflect the name change.
 
Intangible Assets
 
Intangible assets consist of purchased customer contracts and the WPCS tradename that were acquired in the Reverse Merger. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment when indications of impairment are present or when events occur indicating a potential impairment.
 
Goodwill
 
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired in the Reverse Merger and is not amortized. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. In accordance with ASC 350, the Company assesses goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below the operating segment. The Company has determined that it has two operating segments as its reporting units, DropCar Operating and WPCS. All of the goodwill is recorded at the WPCS reporting unit.
 
Property and Equipment
 
The Company accounts for property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. The Company computes depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company generally depreciates property and equipment over a period of three to seven years. Depreciation for property and equipment commences once they are ready for its intended use.

Capitalized Software
 
Costs related to website and internal-use software development are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350-50 — Intangibles — Website Development Costs. Such software is primarily related to our websites and mobile apps, including support systems. We begin to capitalize our costs to develop software when preliminary development efforts are successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used as intended. Costs incurred prior to meeting these criteria are expensed as incurred and recorded within General and administrative expenses within the accompanying statements of operations. Costs incurred for enhancements that are expected to result in additional features or functionality are capitalized. Capitalized costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of the enhancements, generally between two and three years.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets are primarily comprised of intangible assets, property and equipment, and capitalized software costs. The Company evaluates its Long-Lived Assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. If these circumstances exist, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. There were no impairments to long-lived assets for the periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Company had a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.
 
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), enacted on December 22, 2017, among other things, permanently lowered the statutory federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective for tax years including or beginning January 1, 2018. Under the guidance of ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), the Company revalued its net deferred tax assets on the date of enactment based on the reduction in the overall future tax benefit expected to be realized at the lower tax rate implemented by the new legislation. Although in the normal course of business the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions for certain tax items which cannot be fully determined at period end, the Company did not identify items for which the income tax effects of the Tax Act have not been completed as of September 30, 2018 and, therefore, considers its accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act on its deferred tax assets and liabilities to be complete as of September 30, 2018.
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
The Company accounts for financial instruments in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:

DropCar, Inc., and Subsidiaries

(unaudited)
 
 
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
 
Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and
 
Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
 
Financial instruments with carrying values approximating fair value include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, deferred income, accrued interest and loans payable, due to their short-term nature.
 
Loss Per Share
 
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. Diluted loss per share are computed by assuming that any dilutive convertible securities outstanding were converted, with related preferred stock dividend requirements and outstanding common shares adjusted accordingly. It also assumes that outstanding common shares were increased by shares issuable upon exercise of those stock options for which market price exceeds the exercise price, less shares which could have been purchased by us with the related proceeds. In periods of losses, diluted loss per share is computed on the same basis as basic loss per share as the inclusion of any other potential shares outstanding would be anti-dilutive.
 
The following securities were excluded from weighted average diluted common shares outstanding because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards 
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under the new standard, revenue is recognized at the time a good or service is transferred to a customer for the amount of consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled for that specific good or service. Entities may use a full retrospective approach or on a prospective basis and report the cumulative effect as of the date of adoption. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2018 using prospective basis and the cumulative effect was immaterial to the financial statements. The new standard also requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features. These amendments simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. The amendments require companies to disregard the down round feature when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to its own stock, for purposes of determining liability or equity classification. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2018 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The new guidance dictates that, when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, it should be treated as an acquisition or disposal of an asset. The guidance was adopted as of January 1, 2018 and did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
 
In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, as amended, Leases, by Issuing Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessor to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for us on January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt the new standard on its effective date. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. We expect that this standard will have a material effect on our financial statements. While we continue to assess all of the effects of adoption, we currently believe the most significant effects relate to (1) the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet for our office and equipment operating leases and providing significant new disclosures about our leasing activities.
 
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04 (ASU 2017-04), Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 eliminates step two of the goodwill impairment test and specifies that goodwill impairment should be measured by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. Additionally, the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets should be disclosed. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. The Company currently anticipates that the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements, which will improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements, and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Litigation 
 
The Company’s DropCar Operating segment is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business that it believes are incidental to the operation of its business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial positions or cash flows.
 
In February 2018, DropCar was served an Amended Summons and Complaint in the Supreme Court of the City of New York, Bronx county originally served solely on an individual, a former DropCar customer, for injuries sustained by plaintiffs alleging such injuries were caused by either the customer, a DropCar valet operating the customer’s vehicle or an unknown driver operating customer’s vehicle. DropCar to date has cooperated with the NYC Police Department and no charges have been brought against any employee of DropCar. DropCar has referred the matter to its insurance carrier.
 
On February 9, 2016, a DropCar employee was transporting a customer’s vehicle when the vehicle caught fire. On November 22, 2016, an insurance company (as subrogee of the vehicle’s owner) filed for indemnification and subrogation against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York County of New York. Management believes that it is not responsible for the damage caused by the vehicle fire and that the fire was not due to any negligence on the part of the DropCar and that the resolution will not have a material outcome.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, approximately $44,000 of this amount was settled upon payment. An additional $117,000 was expensed and accrued for potential settlements during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. As of September 30, 2018, approximately $169,000 remains accrued for the potential settlement of employment disputes.

On March 23, 2018, DropCar was made aware of an audit being conducted by the New York State Department of Labor (“DOL”) regarding a claim filed by an employee. The DOL is investigating whether DropCar properly paid overtime for which DropCar has raised several defenses. In addition, the DOL is conducting its audit to determine whether the Company owes spread of hours pay (an hour’s pay for each day an employee worked or was scheduled for a period over ten hours in a day). If the DOL determines that monies are owed, the DOL will seek a backpay order, which management believes will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on DropCar’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has accrued approximately $60,000 in relation to this matter.

On March 8, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with investors pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investors an aggregate of 25,472 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series H-4 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series H-4 Shares”) convertible into 2,547,200 shares of common stock of the Company, and warrants to purchase 2,547,200 shares of common stock of the Company, with an exercise price of $2.60 per share, subject to adjustments (the “Warrants”). The purchase price per Series H-4 Share and warrant was $235.50, equal to (i) the closing price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on March 7, 2018, plus $0.125 multiplied by (ii) 100. The aggregate purchase price for the Series H-4 Shares and Warrants was approximately $6.0 million.

Each share of Series H-4 Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder thereof, into a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value by the initial conversion price of $2.355 per share, subject to a 9.99% blocker provision. The Series H-4 Stock has the same dividend rights as the Common Stock, and no voting rights except as provided for in the Certificate of Designation or as otherwise required by law. In the event of any liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Series H-4 Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock in the distribution of assets, to the extent legally available for distribution.

In response to the request, on September 10, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “COD Amendment”) to the Certificate of Designation to provide for stockholder approval as described above prior to the conversion of the Series H-4 Shares.

Warrant Exchange
 
On April 19, 2018, the Company entered into separate Warrant Exchange Agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with the holders (the “Merger Warrant Holders”) of existing warrants issued in the Reverse Merger (the “Merger Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock, pursuant to which, on the closing date, the Merger Warrant Holders exchanged each Merger Warrant for 1/3rd of a share of Common Stock and ½ of a warrant to purchase a share of Common Stock (collectively, the “Series I Warrants”). The Series I Warrants have an exercise price of $2.30 per share. In connection with the Exchange Agreements, the Company issued an aggregate of (i) 292,714 new shares of common stock and (ii) Series I Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 439,070 shares of common stock. The Company valued the (a) stock and warrants issued in the amount of $972,368, (b) the warrants retired in the amount of $655,507, and (c) recorded the difference as deemed dividend in the amount of $316,861. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the date of the exchange using the following assumptions: (a) fair value of common stock $1.72, (b) expected volatility of 103% and 110%, (c) dividend yield of $0, (d) risk-free interest rate of 2.76% and 2.94%, (e) expected life of 3 years and 4.13 years.
 
Exercise of Series H-4 Warrants and Issuance of Series J Warrants
 
On August 31, 2018, the Company offered (the “Repricing Offer Letter”) to the holders (the “Holders”) of the Company’s outstanding Series H-4 Warrants to purchase common stock of the Company issued on March 8, 2018 (the “Series H-4 Warrants”) the opportunity to exercise such Series H-4 Warrants for cash at a reduced exercise price of $0.60 per share (the “Reduced Exercise Price”) provided such Series H-4 Warrants were exercised for cash on or before September 4, 2018 (the “End Date”). In addition, the Company issued a “reload” warrant (the “Series J Warrants”) to each Holder who exercised their Series H-4 Warrants prior to the End Date, covering one share for each Series H-4 Warrant exercised during that period. The terms of the Series J Warrants are substantially identical to the terms of the Series H-4 Warrants except that (i) the exercise price is equal to $1.00, (ii) the Series J Warrants may be exercised at all times beginning on the 6-month anniversary of the issuance date on a cash basis and also on a cashless basis, (iii) the Series J Warrants do not contain any provisions for anti-dilution adjustment and (iv) the Company has the right to require the Holders to exercise all or any portion of the Series J Warrants still unexercised for a cash exercise if the VWAP (as defined in the Series J Warrant) for the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $1.50 for not less than ten consecutive trading days.
 
On September 4, 2018, the Company received executed Repricing Offer Letters from a majority of the Holders, which resulted in the issuance of 1,560,696 shares of the Company’s common stock and Series J Warrants to purchase up to 1,560,696 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $936,000 from the exercise of the Series H-4 Warrants pursuant to the terms of the Repricing Offer Letter.
 
On September 5, 2018, the Company received a request from Nasdaq to amend our Series H-4 Warrants to provide that the Series H-4 Warrants may not be exercised until the Company has obtained stockholder approval of the issuance of Common Stock underlying the Series H-4 Warrants pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq. In response to the request, on September 10, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Warrant Amendment”) with the holders of the Series H-4 Stock to provide for stockholder approval as described above prior to the exercise of the Series H-4 Warrants.
 
The Company considers the warrant amendment for the Reduced Exercise Price and issuance of the Series J Warrants to be of an equity nature as the amendment and issuance allowed the warrant holders to exercise warrants and receive a share of Common Stock and warrant which, represents an equity for equity exchange. Therefore, the change in the fair value before and after the modification and the fair value of the Series J warrants will be treated as a deemed dividend in the amount of $1,019,040. The cash received upon exercise in excess of par is accounted through additional paid in capital.
 
The Company valued the deemed dividend as the sum of: (a) the difference between the fair value of the modified award and the fair value of the original award at the time of modification of $129,476, and (b) the fair value of the Series J Warrants in the amount of $889,564. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the date of the modification and issuance using the following assumptions: (a) fair value of common stock $0.65, (b) expected volatility of 144.3%, (c) dividend yield of $0, (d) risk-free interest rate of 2.77% and 2.78%, (e) expected life of 4.51 years and 5 years.
 
At the March 8, 2018 closing, the Company issued Series H-4 Warrants that entitled the holders to purchase, in aggregate, up to 2,684,300 shares of its common stock. As referenced above, on September 4, 2018, the Company received executed Repricing Offer Letters from a majority of the investors resulting in the exercise of Series H-4 Warrants to purchase 1,560,696 shares of common stock. The Series H-4 Warrants were initially exercisable at an exercise price equal to $2.60 per share, which is now subject to adjustment at a reduced exercise price of $0.60 per share pending stockholder approval as proposed in the Company’s Notice of 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If this proposal is approved by the stockholders, the exercise price of the remaining Series H-4 Warrants will be reduced to $0.60 per share which will entitle the holders of the remaining Series H-4 Warrants to purchase, in aggregate, up to 1,122,704 additional shares of common stock.

Segment Reporting
 
In accordance with FASB ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” ("ASC 280"), the Company discloses financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and regularly evaluated by the Company in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
 
The Company follows ASC 280, which establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual and interim financial statements and requires that companies report financial and descriptive information about their reportable segments based on a management approach. ASC 280 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company currently divides its operations into two operating segments: DropCar, Inc. which delivers its VAL platform and mobile application; and WPCS which specializes in the installation and service of low voltage communications.
 
The accounting policies of each of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The Company evaluates performance based on revenue, gross profit contribution and assets employed. Corporate level operating costs are allocated to each segment in which they are incurred. These costs include corporate costs such as legal, audit, tax and other professional fees including those related to being a public company.

Related Party
 
 
On July 11, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with Ascentaur, LLC (“Ascentaur”). Sebastian Giordano is the Chief Executive Officer of Ascentaur. Mr. Giordano has served on the board of directors of the Company since February 2013 and served as the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer from August 2013 through April 2016 and as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer from April 2016 through January 2018.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Consulting Agreement, Ascentaur has agreed to provide advisory services with respect to the strategic development and growth of the Company, including advising the Company on market strategy and overall Company strategy, advising the Company on the sale of the Company’s WPCS International business segment, providing assistance to the Company in identifying and recruiting prospective employees, customers, business partners, investors and advisors that offer desirable administrative, financing, investment, technical, marketing and/or strategic expertise, and performing such other services pertaining to the Company’s business as the Company and Ascentaur may from time to time mutually agree. The term of the Consulting Agreement commenced on July 11, 2018 and will continue until April 9, 2019 or until terminated in accordance with the terms of the Consulting Agreement.
 
The amount recorded for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018, was $30 thousand before related reimbursement expense of $838. Of this amount, $18 thousand was disbursed, and the balance of approximately $13 thousand remains in accounts payable at September 30, 2018.

Subsequent Events
 
 
On November 14, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an existing investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”), Pre-Funded Series K Warrants (the “Pre-Funded Series K Warrants”) to purchase 1,666,666 shares of common stock (and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Series K Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”)), in lieu of shares of common stock because the purchase of common stock would have caused the beneficial ownership of the Purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, to exceed 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.   The price to the Purchaser for each Pre-Funded Series K Warrant was $0.59 and the Pre-Funded Series K Warrants are immediately exercisable at a price of $0.01 per share of common stock.  The Company received approximately $0.983 million in gross proceeds from the Offering before the deduction of fees and offering expenses. The Pre-Funded Series K Warrants and the Warrant Shares are being offered by the Company pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-227858), which was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 16, 2018 and was declared effective by the Commission on November 9, 2018 (the “Registration Statement”).

Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors.
 
Recent Developments
 
Consumer Services Product Offering Change
 
In July 2018, DropCar Operating began assessing demand for a Self-Park Spaces monthly parking plan whereby consumers could designate specific garages for their vehicles to be stored at a base monthly rate, with personal 24/7 access for picking up and returning their vehicle directly, and the option to pay a la carte on a per hour basis for a driver to perform functions such as picking up and returning their vehicle to their front door. This model aligns more directly with how the Company has structured the enterprise B2B side of its business, where an interaction with a vehicle on behalf of its drivers typically generates net new revenue. The DropCar Operating consumer Self-Park Spaces plan combined with its on-demand hourly valet service are the only consumer plans offered from September 1, 2018 onwards. Subscriber plans prior to this date continued to receive service on a prorated basis through the end of August 2018. Additionally, the Company is scaling back its 360 Services for the Consumer portion of the market. As a result of this shift, in August 2018, the Company began to significantly streamline its field teams, operations and back office support tied to its pre-September 1, 2018 consumer subscription plans.
 
Binding Term Sheet for Sale of WPCS Business
 
On August 9, 2018 the Company entered into a binding term sheet with the management of WPCS International Suisun City, Inc. for the sale of select assets and liabilities of the Company’s WPCS business for $3.5 million. The binding nature of this term sheet expired on September 21, 2018 due to the failure of the management of WPCS International Suisun City, Inc. to obtain adequate financing. However, the Company and the management of WPCS International Suisun City, Inc. have continued to work together towards completing this transaction and a new source of financing has been identified. It is anticipated that the transaction will close in the 4th quarter of 2018, however, there can be no assurance that the sale will be consummated on the terms previously negotiated or at all. The contemplated sales price is expected to be below the carrying value of the Company's goodwill and intangibles. In the event the transaction is consummated under its current terms, the Company would record a material impairment charge.
 
Warrant Repricing
 
On August 31, 2018, the Company offered (the “Repricing Offer Letter”) to the holders (the “Holders”) of the Company’s outstanding Series H-4 Warrants to purchase common stock of the Company issued on March 8, 2018 (the “Series H-4 Warrants”) the opportunity to exercise such Series H-4 Warrants for cash at a reduced exercise price of $0.60 per share (the “Reduced Exercise Price”) provided such Series H-4 Warrants were exercised for cash on or before September 4, 2018 (the “End Date”). In addition, the Company issued a “reload” warrant (the “Series J Warrants”) to each Holder who exercised their Series H-4 Warrants prior to the End Date, covering one share for each Series H-4 Warrant exercised during that period. The terms of the Series J Warrants are substantially identical to the terms of the Series H-4 Warrants except that (i) the exercise price is equal to $1.00, (ii) the Series J Warrants may be exercised at all times beginning on the 6-month anniversary of the issuance date on a cash basis and also on a cashless basis, (iii) the Series J Warrants do not contain any provisions for anti-dilution adjustment and (iv) the Company has the right to require the Holders to exercise all or any portion of the Series J Warrants still unexercised for a cash exercise if the VWAP (as defined in the Series J Warrant) for the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $1.50 for not less than ten consecutive trading days.
 
 
26
 
 
On September 4, 2018, the Company received executed Repricing Offer Letters from a majority of the Holders, which resulted in the issuance of 1,560,696 shares of the Company’s common stock and Series J Warrants to purchase up to 1,560,696 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $936,000 from the exercise of the Series H-4 Warrants pursuant to the terms of the Repricing Offer Letter.
 
On September 5, 2018, the Company received a request from Nasdaq to amend our Series H-4 Warrants to provide that the Series H-4 Warrants may not be exercised until the Company has obtained stockholder approval of the issuance of Common Stock underlying the Series H-4 Warrants pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq. In response to the request, on September 10, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Warrant Amendment”) with the holders of the Series H-4 Stock to provide for stockholder approval as described above prior to the exercise of the Series H-4 Warrants.
 
Consulting Agreement, Related Party
 
On July 11, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with Ascentaur, LLC (“Ascentaur”). Sebastian Giordano is the Chief Executive Officer of Ascentaur, LLC. Mr. Giordano has served on the board of directors of WPCS since February 2013 and served as WPCS’s Interim Chief Executive Officer from August 2013 through April 2016 and as WPCS’s Chief Executive Officer from April 2016 through January 2018.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Consulting Agreement, Ascentaur has agreed to provide advisory services with respect to the strategic development and growth of the Company, including advising the Company on market strategy and overall Company strategy, advising the Company on the sale of the Company’s WPCS International business segment, providing assistance to the Company in identifying and recruiting prospective employees, customers, business partners, investors and advisors that offer desirable administrative, financing, investment, technical, marketing and/or strategic expertise, and performing such other services pertaining to the Company’s business as the Company and Ascentaur may from time to time mutually agree. As consideration for its services under the Consulting Agreement, Ascentaur shall be entitled to receive (i) a fee of $10,000 per month for a period of nine months from the effective date of the Consulting Agreement, (ii) a lump sum fee of $90,000 upon the closing of the sale of the Company’s WPCS International business segment and (iii) reimbursement for reasonable and customary business expenses incurred in connection with Ascentaur’s performance under the Consulting Agreement. The term of the Consulting Agreement commenced on July 11, 2018 and will continue until April 9, 2019 or until terminated in accordance with the terms of the Consulting Agreement.
 
Change in Bylaws
 
Effective July 26, 2018, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the “Company amended and restated the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) by amending Section 4.06. As amended, Section 4.06 provides that the Chairman of the Board need not be an officer of the Company.
 
Reverse Merger and Exchange Ratio
 
On January 30, 2018, DC Acquisition Corporation (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of WPCS International Incorporated (“WPCS”), completed its merger with and into DropCar, Inc. (“Private DropCar”), with Private DropCar surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of WPCS. This transaction is referred to as the “Reverse Merger.” The Reverse Merger was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), dated September 6, 2017, by and among WPCS, Private DropCar and Merger Sub.
 
As a result of the Reverse Merger, each outstanding share of Private DropCar share capital (including shares of Private DropCar share capital to be issued upon the conversion of outstanding convertible debt) automatically converted into the right to receive approximately 0.3273 shares of WPCS’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Exchange Ratio”). Following the closing of the Reverse Merger, holders of WPCS’s common stock immediately prior to the Reverse Merger owned approximately 22.9% on a fully diluted basis, and holders of Private DropCar common stock immediately prior to the Reverse Merger owned approximately 77.1% on a fully diluted basis, of WPCS’s common stock.
 
 
27
 
 
The Reverse Merger has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting where Private DropCar is considered the accounting acquirer and WPCS is the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Private DropCar was determined to be the accounting acquirer based on the terms of the Merger Agreement and other factors, such as relative voting rights and the composition of the combined company’s board of directors and senior management, which was deemed to have control. The pre-acquisition financial statements of Private DropCar became the historical financial statements of WPCS following the Reverse Merger. The historical financial statement, outstanding shares and all other historical share information have been adjusted by multiplying the respective share amount by the Exchange Ratio as if the Exchange Ratio had been in effect for all periods presented.
 
Immediately following the Reverse Merger, the combined company changed its name from WPCS International Incorporation to DropCar, Inc. The combined company following the Reverse Merger may be referred to herein as “the combined company,” “DropCar,” or the “Company.”
 
The Company’s shares of common stock listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, previously trading through the close of business on January 30, 2018 under the ticker symbol “WPCS,” commenced trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market, on a post-Reverse Stock Split adjusted basis, under the ticker symbol “DCAR” on January 31, 2018.
 
Private Placement
 
On March 8, 2018, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with institutional and accredited investors (collectively, the “Investors”), pursuant to which we issued to the Investors an aggregate of 26,843 shares of our newly designated Series H-4 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series H-4 Shares”), and warrants to purchase 2,684,300 shares of our Series H-4 Preferred Stock, with an exercise price of $2.60 per share, subject to adjustments (the “Warrants”). The purchase price per Series H-4 Share and warrant was $235.50, equal to (i) the closing price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on March 7, 2018, plus $0.125 multiplied by (ii) 100. The aggregate purchase price for the Series H-4 Shares and Warrants was approximately $6.0 million. Subject to certain ownership limitations, the Warrants will be immediately exercisable from the issuance date and will be exercisable for a period of five years from the issuance date. The Series H-4 Shares are convertible into 2,684,300 shares of Common Stock.
 
On March 8, 2018, we filed the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series H-4 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, establishing and designating the rights, powers and preferences of the Series H-4 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series H-4 Stock”). We designated up to 30,000 shares of Series H-4 Stock and each share has a stated value of $235.50 (the “Stated Value”). Each share of Series H-4 Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder thereof, into a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value by the initial conversion price of $2.355 per share, subject to a 9.99% blocker provision. The Series H-4 Stock has the same dividend rights as the Common Stock, and no voting rights except as provided for in the Certificate of Designation or as otherwise required by law. In the event of any liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Series H-4 Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock in the distribution of assets, to the extent legally available for distribution.
 
On September 5, 2018, we received a request from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) to amend the Certificate of Designation to provide that the Series H-4 Shares may not be converted into shares of Common Stock until we have obtained stockholder approval of the issuance of the Common Stock underlying the Series H-4 Shares pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq. In response to the request, on September 10, 2018, we filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “COD Amendment”) to the Certificate of Designation to provide for stockholder approval as described above prior to the conversion of the Series H-4 Shares.
 
 
28
 
 
Warrants
 
On April 19, 2018, we entered into separate Warrant Exchange Agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with the holders (the “Merger Warrant Holders”) of existing merger warrants (the “Merger Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock, pursuant to which, on the closing date, the Merger Warrant Holders exchanged each Merger Warrant for 1/3rd of a share of Common Stock and ½ of a warrant to purchase a share of Common Stock (collectively, the “Series I Warrants”). The Series I Warrants have an exercise price of $2.30 per share. In connection with the Exchange Agreements, we issued an aggregate of (i) 292,714 new shares of common stock and (ii) Series I Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 439,070 shares of common stock.
 
On August 31, 2018, we offered (the “Repricing Offer Letter”) to the holders (the “Holders”) of our outstanding Series H-4 Warrants to purchase common stock issued on March 8, 2018 (the “Series H-4 Warrants”) the opportunity to exercise such Series H-4 Warrants for cash at a reduced exercise price of $0.60 per share (the “Reduced Exercise Price”) provided such Series H-4 Warrants were exercised for cash on or before September 4, 2018 (the “End Date”). In addition, we issued a “reload” warrant (the “Series J Warrants”) to each Holder who exercised their Series H-4 Warrants prior to the End Date, covering one share for each Series H-4 Warrant exercised during that period. The terms of the Series J Warrants are substantially identical to the terms of the Series H-4 Warrants except that (i) the exercise price is equal to $1.00, (ii) the Series J Warrants may be exercised at all times beginning on the 6-month anniversary of the issuance date on a cash basis and also on a cashless basis, (iii) the Series J Warrants do not contain any provisions for anti-dilution adjustment and (iv) we have the right to require the Holders to exercise all or any portion of the Series J Warrants still unexercised for a cash exercise if the VWAP (as defined in the Series J Warrant) for our common stock equals or exceeds $1.50 for not less than ten consecutive trading days.
 
On September 4, 2018, we received executed Repricing Offer Letters from a majority of the Holders, which resulted in the issuance of 1,560,696 shares of our common stock and Series J Warrants to purchase up to 1,560,696 shares of our common stock. We received gross proceeds of approximately $936,000 from the exercise of the Series H-4 Warrants pursuant to the terms of the Repricing Offer Letter.
 
On September 5, 2018, we received a request from Nasdaq to amend our Series H-4 Warrants to provide that the Series H-4 Warrants may not be exercised until we have obtained stockholder approval of the issuance of Common Stock underlying the Series H-4 Warrants pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq. In response to the request, on September 10, 2018, we entered into an amendment (the “Warrant Amendment”) with the holders of the Series H-4 Stock to provide for stockholder approval as described above prior to the exercise of the Series H-4 Warrants.
 
Overview 
 
Operating Segments
 
We have two reportable operating segments: DropCar Operating and WPCS.
 
DropCar Operating
 
DropCar Operating provides automotive vehicle support, fleet logistics, and concierge services for both consumers and the automotive industry. Our cloud-based Enterprise Vehicle Assistance and Logistics (“VAL”) platform and mobile application (“app”) assists consumers and automotive-related companies reduce the costs, hassles and inefficiencies of owning a car, or fleet of cars, in urban centers. In July 2018, we launched our Mobility Cloud platform which provides automotive-related businesses with a 100% self-serve SaaS version of its VAL platform to manage their own operations and drivers, as well as customer relationship management (“CRM”) tools that enable their clients to schedule and track their vehicles for service pickup and delivery. Our Mobility Cloud also provides access to private APIs (application programming interface) which automotive-businesses can use to integrate our logistics and field support directly into their own applications and processes natively, to create more seamless client experiences.
 
 
29
 
 
On the enterprise side, OEMs, dealers, and other service providers in the automotive space are increasingly being challenged with consumers who have limited time to bring in their vehicles for maintenance and service, making it difficult to retain valuable post-sale service contracts or scheduled consumer maintenance and service appointments. Additionally, many of the vehicle support centers for automotive providers (i.e., dealerships, including body work and diagnostic shops) have moved out of urban areas thus making it more challenging for OEMs and dealers in urban areas to provide convenient and efficient service for their consumer and business clientele. Similarly, shared mobility providers and other fleet managers, such as rental car companies and car share programs, face a similar urban mobility challenge: getting cars to and from service bays, rebalancing vehicle availability to meet demand and in-fleeting and de-fleeting vehicles to and from dealer lots, auction sites and other locations.
 
While our business-to-business (“B2B”) and business-to-consumer (“B2C”) services generate revenue and help meet the unmet demand for vehicle support services, we are also building-out a platform and customer base that positions us well for developments in the automotive space when vehicles become partially to fully autonomous and vehicle ownership becomes more subscription based with transportation services and concierge options well-suited to match a customer’s immediate needs. For example, certain car manufacturers are testing new services in which customers pay the manufacturer a flat fee per month to drive a number of different models for any length of time.
 
The Company operates primarily in the New York metropolitan area. In May 2018, the Company expanded operations with its B2B business in San Francisco. In June 2018, the Company expanded its B2B operations in Washington DC. In August 2018, the Company expanded B2B operations to Los Angeles. The three new market expansions are with a major original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) customer.
 
 
WPCS
 
WPCS provides low voltage communication infrastructure services. The Company specializes in the installation and service of low voltage communications, voice and data networks, security systems, audio-visual solutions, and distributed antenna systems and provide experienced project management and deliver complex projects to key vertical markets that include healthcare, education, transportation, energy and utilities, oil and gas, manufacturing, commercial real estate, financial, and government, etc.
 
Results of Operations
 
We have never been profitable and have incurred operating losses in each year since inception. Net losses for nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were approximately $10.7 million and $5.0 million, respectively. Substantially all of our operating losses resulted from expenses incurred in connection with our valet workforce, parking and technology development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations. During the third quarter of 2018, we took significant steps to reduce our cost of goods sold on the consumer side of the business. These efforts have generated significant costs savings which will start to appear in our fourth quarter results. We are focusing on achieving a positive gross margin on the DropCar Operating segment of the business and growing the overall revenue to a point of overall profitability in the long term. As of September 30, 2018, we had net working capital of approximately $1.5 million. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for at least the next several years as we continue the development of our comprehensive Vehicle Support Platform across business-to-consumer and business-to-business clientele. Accordingly, we will continue to require substantial additional capital to continue our commercialization activities. The amount and timing of our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the timing and results of our commercialization efforts.
 
Components of Statements of Operations
 
Net Services Revenue
 
We generate revenue from on-demand vehicle pick-up, parking and delivery services, providing automobile maintenance, care and refueling services, and through our business-to-business fleet management services, and from infrastructure contracting services.
 
Cost of Services
 
Cost of services consists of the aggregate costs incurred in delivering the services to our customers, including, expenses for personnel costs, parking lot costs, technology hosting and third-party licensing costs, vehicle repair and damage costs, insurance, merchant processor fees, uniforms, customer and transportation expenses associated with providing a service.
 
 
 
30
 
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of technology, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses.
 
Technology.   Technology expenses consist primarily of labor-related costs incurred in coding, testing, maintaining and modifying our technology platform. We have focused our technology development efforts on both improving ease of use and functionality of our reservation, back-end system and mobile (i.e., iOS, Android) applications. We expect technology expenses to increase as we continue to enhance and expand our technological capabilities but to decrease over time as a percentage of revenue as we leverage our technology platform over a larger membership base. We anticipate increasing investment in research and development, notably with respect to integrating our services into vehicles natively, machine learning based process automation and virtual assistance.
 
Sales and Marketing.   Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of labor-related costs, online search and advertising, trade shows, marketing agency fees, public relations, physical mailers, and other promotional expenses. Online search and advertising costs, which are expensed as incurred, include online advertising media such as banner ads and pay-per-click payments to search engines. We expect to continue to invest in sales and marketing activities to increase our membership base and brand awareness. We expect that sales and marketing expenses will continue to increase in the future but decrease as a percentage of revenue as certain fixed costs are leveraged over a larger revenue base.
 
General and Administrative.   General and administrative expenses consist primarily of labor-related expenses for administrative, human resources, internal information technology support, legal, finance and accounting personnel, professional fees, training costs, insurance and other corporate expenses. We expect that general and administrative expenses will increase as we continue to add personnel to support the growth of our business. In addition, we anticipate that we will incur additional personnel expenses, professional service fees, including audit and legal, investor relations, costs of compliance with securities laws and regulations, and higher director and officer insurance costs related to operating as a public company. As a result, we expect that our general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in the future but decrease as a percentage of revenue over time as our membership base and related revenue increases.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements and, therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Accordingly, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. See Note 2 to our financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 for information about these critical accounting policies, as well as a description of our other significant accounting policies.
 
Our interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on April 2, 2018, which includes a description of our critical accounting policies that involve subjective and complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results.

Accounts receivable
 
Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for holdbacks and doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts. We determine the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions and set up an allowance for doubtful accounts when collection is uncertain. Customers’ accounts are written off when all attempts to collect have been exhausted. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. For Dropcar Operating, at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the accounts receivable reserve was approximately $17,000 and $42,000, respectively. For WPCS, at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the accounts receivable reserve was approximately $264,000 and $0, respectively.
 
Capitalized software
 
Costs related to website and internal-use software development are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350-50 — Intangibles — Website Development Costs. Such software is primarily related to our websites and mobile apps, including support systems. We begin to capitalize our costs to develop software when preliminary development efforts are successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used as intended. Costs incurred prior to meeting these criteria are expensed as incurred and recorded within General and administrative expenses within the accompanying statements of operations. Costs incurred for enhancements that are expected to result in additional features or functionality are capitalized. Capitalized costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of the enhancements, generally between two and three years.
 
We evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, codified as ASC 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018 using modified retrospective basis and the cumulative effect was immaterial to the financial statements.
 
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, we satisfy our performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to the customers. A good or service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that good or service. A performance obligation may be satisfied over time or at a point in time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring our progress in satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that depicts the transfer of the goods or services to the customer. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that we determine the customer obtains control over the promised good or service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those promised goods or services (i.e., the “transaction price”). In determining the transaction price, we consider multiple factors, including the effects of variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainties with respect to the amount are resolved. In determining when to include variable consideration in the transaction price, we consider the range of possible outcomes, the predictive value of our past experiences, the time period of when uncertainties expect to be resolved and the amount of consideration that is susceptible to factors outside of our influence, such as the judgment and actions of third parties.

DropCar Operating
 
DropCar Operating offers a selection of subscriptions and on-demand services which include parking, valet, and access to other services. The contract terms are on a month-to-month subscription contract with fixed monthly or contract term fees. These subscription services include a fixed number of round-trip deliveries of the customer’s vehicle to a designated location. The Company allocates the purchase price among the performance obligations which results in deferring revenue until the service is utilized or the service period has expired. In July 2018, DropCar Operating began assessing demand for a Self-Park Spaces monthly parking plan whereby consumers could designate specific garages for their vehicles to be stored at a base monthly rate, with personal 24/7 access for picking up and returning their vehicle directly, and the option to pay a la carte on a per hour basis for a driver to perform functions such as picking up and returning the vehicle to their front door. This model aligns more directly with how the Company has structured the enterprise B2B side of its business, where an interaction with a vehicle on behalf of its drivers typically generates net new revenue. The DropCar Operating consumer Self-Park Spaces plan combined with its on-demand hourly valet service are the only consumer plans offered from September 1, 2018 onwards. Subscriber plans prior to this date continued to receive service on a prorated basis through the end of August 2018. Additionally, the Company is scaling back its 360 Services for the Consumer portion of the market. As a result of this shift, in August 2018, the Company began to significantly streamline its field teams, operations and back office support tied to its pre-September 1, 2018 consumer subscription plans.
 
On Demand Valet and Parking Services
 
DropCar Operating offers to consumers certain on demand services through its mobile application. The customer is billed at an hourly rate upon completion of the services. Revenue is recognized when the Company had satisfied all performance obligations which is upon completion of the service.
 
DropCar 360 Services
 
DropCar Operating offers to consumers certain services upon request including vehicle inspection, maintenance, car washes or to fill up with gas. The customers are charged a fee in addition to the cost of the third-party services provided. Revenue is recognized when the Company had satisfied all performance obligations which is upon completion of the service.
 
On Demand Business-To-Business
 
DropCar Operating also has contracts with car dealerships, car share programs and others in the automotive industry transporting vehicles. Revenue is recognized at the point in time all performance obligations are satisfied which is when the Company provides the delivery service of the vehicles.
 
WPCS
 
WPCS generates its revenue by offering low voltage communications infrastructure contracting services.
 
WPCS recognizes revenue and profit from long term contracts when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised goods or service to a customer. Revenue is recognized over time by measuring progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.  
 
WPCS uses an input method which recognizes revenue over time based on WPCS’s labor and materials costs expended for a period as a percentage of total labor and materials costs expected to satisfy the performance obligation of delivering the overall infrastructure project. Input method is used because management believes it is the best available method that measures revenue on the basis of the company’s inputs toward satisfaction of the performance obligation. Inputs costs include direct materials, direct labor, third party subcontractor services and those indirect costs related to contract performance.
 
WPCS has numerous contracts that are in various stages of completion. Such contracts require estimates to determine the appropriate cost and revenue recognition. Cost estimates are reviewed monthly on a contract-by-contract basis and are revised periodically throughout the life of the contract such that adjustments to profit resulting from revisions are made cumulative to the date of the revision. Significant management judgments and estimates, including the estimated cost to complete projects, which determines the project’s percent complete, must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in the accounting period. Current estimates may be revised as additional information becomes available. If estimates of costs to complete long-term contracts indicate a loss, provision is made currently for the total loss anticipated.
 
 
33
 
 
The length of WPCS’s contracts varies but is typically between three months and two years. Assets and liabilities related to long-term contracts are included in current assets and current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as they will be liquidated in the normal course of contract completion, although this may require more than one year.
 
WPCS also recognizes certain revenue from short-term contracts at a point in time when the services have been provided to the customer. For maintenance contracts, revenue is recognized ratably over the service period.
 
Sales and marketing
 
Sales and marketing costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Stock-based compensation
 
We account for all stock options using a fair value-based method. The fair value of each stock option granted to employees is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the related stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The fair value of the options granted to non-employees is measured and expensed as the options vest.
 
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to accrued expenses and stock-based compensation. We based our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
Results of Operations
 
Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017
 
The Company's approximate $3.3 million net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was comprised of the $0.1 million net loss from WPCS and a $3.2 million net loss from DropCar Operating. This compared to a net loss of $2.9 million for the same period in 2017.
 
The net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three-month period totaled approximately $4.3 million, due to the $3.3 million net loss and $1.1 million of deemed dividends on the exchange of warrants.

WPCS
 
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, there is no comparative information for the prior periods, due to the acquisition of WPCS on January 30, 2018; therefore, no variance detail is discussed.
 
Net revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were approximately $3.2 million and $10.9 million, respectively. Cost of revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were approximately $2.6 million and $8.6 million, respectively.

Net interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were approximately $3 thousand and $4 thousand, respectively.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Since our inception in September 12, 2014, we have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we had net losses of approximately $10.7 million and $5.0 million, respectively. At September 30, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $21.6 million. At September 30, 2018, we had cash of $2.0 million. As discussed above, on March 8, 2018, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement with the Investors, pursuant to which we issued to the Investors an aggregate of 26,843 shares of our newly designated Series H-4 Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 2,684,300 shares of our common stock (the “Private Placement”). We received proceeds of approximately $6.0 million in connection with the Private Placement.
 
On January 18, 2018, we sold 60,340 shares of common stock for proceeds of $300,000 to Alpha Capital.
 
On September 4, 2018, we issued 1,560,696 shares of common stock upon the exercise of 1,560,696 series H-4 warrant for proceeds of approximately $936,000.
 
We have limited operating history and the sales and income potential of our business and market is unproven. As of September 30, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $21.6 million and have experienced net losses each year since our inception. We anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses into the foreseeable future and will need to raise additional capital to continue. Our cash is sufficient to fund our operations into the first quarter of 2019. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q.
 
Our plans include raising funds from outside investors reduce annual operating and corporate over expenses, and through the potential sale of our subsidiary, WPCS International Suisan City, Inc. However, there is no assurance that outside funding will be available to us, outside funding will be obtained on favorable terms or will provide us with sufficient capital to meet our objectives. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets, carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that may be required should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Upon the potential sale of our subsidiary, WPCS, and in the event the transaction is consummated under its anticipated current terms, we would record a material impairment charge to our intangible assets and goodwill.
 
 
36
 
 
Our future capital requirements and the period for which we expect our existing resources to support our operations may vary significantly from what we currently expect. Our monthly spending levels vary based on new and ongoing technology developments and corporate activities. The Company’s cash is sufficient to fund its operations into the first quarter of 2019.
 
We have historically financed our activities through the sale of our equity securities (including convertible preferred stock) and the issuance of convertible notes. We will need to raise significant additional capital and we plan to continue to fund our current operations, and the associated losses from operations, through future issuances of debt and/or equity securities and potential collaborations or strategic partnerships with other entities. The capital raises from issuances of convertible debt and equity securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. In addition, to the extent we determine to incur additional indebtedness, our incurrence of additional debt could result in debt service obligations and operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. We can provide no assurance that financing will be available in the amounts we need or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are not able to secure adequate additional working capital when it becomes needed, we may be required to make reductions in spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible and/or suspend or curtail operations. Any of these actions could materially harm our business.
 
Cash Flows
 
Operating Activities
 
We have historically experienced negative cash outflows as we have developed and expanded our business. Our primary source of cash flow from operating activities has been recurring subscription receipts from customers and, to a lesser extent, monthly invoice payments from business-to-business customers. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are the recruiting, training, equipping and growing our workforce to meet market demand, securing infrastructure for operating activities such as garage parking spaces, technology investment to grow our platform, as well as to support other operational expenses while we aggressively expand.
 
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was approximately $10.1 million, which includes a net loss of approximately $10.7 million, offset by non-cash expenses of approximately $2.7 million principally related stock-based compensation expense of $2.0 million, and depreciation and amortization of approximately $0.5 million, and approximately $2.1 million of cash used from a change in net working capital items principally related to the decrease in contract liabilities, and accounts payable and accrued expenses, and to the increase of contract assets, deferred income, and prepaid expenses.
 
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was approximately $3.0 million, which includes a net loss of approximately $5.1 million, offset by non-cash expenses of approximately $1.5 million principally related to stock based compensation and amortization of debt discount, approximately $0.6 million of cash provided from a change in net working capital items principally related to the increase in accounts payable, accrued interest and deferred income of $0.8 million, offset by an increase of accounts receivable and prepaid expenses of approximately $0.2 million.
 
Investing Activities
 
Cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 of approximately $4.6 million primarily resulted from $4.9 million received upon the acquisition of WPCS net of $0.4 million used for the purchase of fixed assets and capitalization of software costs.
 
Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of approximately $0.3 million primarily resulted from capitalization of software costs.
 
 
37
 
 
Financing Activities
 
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 of approximately $7.1 million primarily resulted from proceeds of $6.0 million for the sale of the Series H-4 Shares and warrants, $0.9 million from the issuance of common stock in connection with exercise of Series H-4 warrants, and $0.3 million for the sale of common stock, offset by financing costs related to the Series H-4 Shares and warrants of approximately $0.1 million.
 
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled approximately $3.3 million primarily resulted from proceeds of $3.3 million from the issuance of convertible notes and warrants and $0.2 million from the issuance of preferred stock and subscription receivable, offset by offering costs of $0.3 million.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We did not engage in any “off-balance sheet arrangements” (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K) as of September 30, 2018.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
 
Not applicable to a smaller reporting company.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective due to the material weaknesses resulting from a limited segregation of duties among our employees with respect to our control activities and this deficiency is the result of our limited number of employees and our financial closing process. These deficiencies may affect management’s ability to determine if errors or inappropriate actions have taken place. Management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible changes in our disclosure controls and procedures.
 
Management continues to evaluate potential areas for improvement in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and has implemented certain measures including additional cash controls, dual-signature procedures, and other review and approval processes by the Company’s management team. The Company intends to hire additional personnel to allow for improved financial reporting controls and segregation of duties when the Company’s operations and revenues have grown to the point of warranting such controls.
 
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
 
On January 30, 2018, we completed a reverse merger with WPCS International Incorporated and our management is in the process of evaluating any related changes to our internal control over financial reporting as a result of this integration. Except for any changes relating to this integration, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) 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.
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
 
DropCar
 
Our DropCar business is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business that we believe are incidental to the operation of our business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, our management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial positions or cash flows.

In February 2018, we were served an Amended Summons and Complaint in the Supreme Court of the City of New York, Bronx county originally served solely on an individual, a former customer, for injuries sustained by plaintiffs alleging such injuries were caused by either the customer, a DropCar valet operating the customer’s vehicle, or an unknown driver operating customer’s vehicle. DropCar to date has cooperated with the NYC Police Department and no charges have been brought against any employee of DropCar. DropCar has referred the matter to its insurance carrier.
