CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING
INFORMATION
Certain statements in this report contain or may contain
forward-looking statements. These statements, identified by words
such as “plan,” “anticipate,”
“believe,” “estimate,”
“should,” “expect” and similar expressions,
include our expectations and objectives regarding our future
financial position, operating results and business strategy. These
statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors which may cause actual results, performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements were
based on various factors and were derived utilizing numerous
assumptions and other factors that could cause our actual results
to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.
These factors include, but are not limited to, our inability to
obtain adequate financing, our inability to expand our business,
existing or increased competition, stock volatility and
illiquidity, and the failure to implement our business plans or
strategies. Most of these factors are difficult to predict
accurately and are generally beyond our control. You should
consider the areas of risk described in connection with any
forward-looking statements that may be made herein. Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Readers
should carefully review this report in its entirety, including but
not limited to our financial statements and the notes thereto and
the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on
April 3, 2019, as subsequently amended on April 12, 2019, and
other reports we file with the SEC. We advise you to carefully
review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the
SEC, particularly our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and our
current reports on Form 8-K. Except for our ongoing obligations to
disclose material information under the Federal securities laws, we
undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to any
forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the
occurrence of unanticipated events.

DropCar, Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The Company 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, the Company 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. The
Company’s Mobility Cloud also provides access to private
application programming interfaces (“APIs”) which
automotive-businesses can use to integrate the Company’s
logistics and field support directly into their own applications
and processes natively, to create more seamless client experiences.
The Company earned de minimis revenues from Mobility Cloud in 2019.
The Company did not earn any revenues from Mobility Cloud in
2018.
On the enterprise side, original equipment manufacturers
(“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.
In July 2018, the Company 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
Business-to-Business (“B2B”) side of its business,
where an interaction with a vehicle on behalf of its drivers
typically generates new revenue. The Company 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 DropCar 360 Services on Demand Service
(“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. The scaling back of these services and the
discontinuation of the Company’s monthly parking with front
door valet (“Steve”) service resulted in a decrease in
revenue.
To date, the Company operates primarily in the New York
metropolitan area. In May, June, and August 2018, the Company
expanded operations with its B2B business in San Francisco, Washing
DC, and Los Angeles, respectively. These three new market
expansions are with an OEM customer.
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 “Merger.” The 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 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”).
DropCar, Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Following the closing of the Merger, holders of WPCS’s common
stock immediately prior to the Merger owned approximately 22.9% on
a fully diluted basis, and holders of Private DropCar common stock
immediately prior to the Merger owned approximately 77.1% on a
fully diluted basis, of WPCS’s common stock.
The 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 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 Merger, the combined company changed its
name from WPCS International Incorporation to DropCar, Inc. The
combined company following the Merger may be referred to herein as
“the combined company,” “DropCar,” or the
“Company.”
Discontinued Operations
On December 24, 2018, the Company completed the sale of WPCS
International – Suisun City, Inc., a California corporation
(the “Suisun City Operations”), its wholly-owned
subsidiary, pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase agreement,
dated December 10, 2018 (the “Purchase Agreement”) by
and between the Company and World Professional Cabling Systems,
LLC, a California limited liability company (the
“Purchaser”). Upon the closing of the sale, the
Purchaser acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of
common stock, no par value per share, of Suisun City Operations,
for an aggregate purchase price of $3,500,000. The sale of Suisun
City Operations represented a strategic shift that has had a major
effect on the Company’s operations, and therefore, is
presented as discontinued operations in the 2018 condensed
consolidated statement of operations.
Trading of Company’s stock
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). In
order to regain compliance, on March 8, 2019, the Company filed a
certificate of amendment to its amended and restated certificate of
incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
to effect a one-for-six reverse stock split of its outstanding
shares of common stock. On March 26, 2019, the Company received a
notification letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market informing it that
it had regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). As a
result of the reverse stock split, every six shares of the
Company’s outstanding pre-reverse split common stock were
combined and reclassified into one share of common stock. Unless
otherwise noted, all share and per share data included in these
financial statements retroactively reflect the 1-for-6 reverse
stock split.
2.
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
June 30, 2019, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $32.7
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 not
sufficient to fund its operations for a 12 month period from the
date of these financial statements. These factors raise substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern.
DropCar, Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Management’s plan includes raising funds from outside
investors. 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.
3.
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements were prepared using generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not
include all information or notes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for annual financial statements and should be
read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated
financial statements included within the Company’s Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC
on April 3, 2019 and subsequently amended on April 12,
2019.
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements in conformity with these accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements; and the reported amounts of expenses during the
reported period. Ultimate results could differ from the estimates
of management. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of DropCar, Inc. and subsidiaries,
all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements included herein contain all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position and
the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim
periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. The results of operations for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2019 may not be indicative
of results for the full year.
Significant Accounting Policies
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) 842, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize most leases
on their balance sheets as a right-of-use asset with a
corresponding lease liability. Lessor accounting under the standard
is substantially unchanged. Additional qualitative and quantitative
disclosures are also required. The Company adopted the standard
effective January 1, 2019 using the cumulative-effect adjustment
transition method, which applies the provisions of the standard at
the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods
presented. The Company adopted all practical expedients and elected
the following accounting policies related to this
standard:
●
Short-term
lease accounting policy election allowing lessees to not recognize
right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12
months or less; and
●
The
option to not separate lease and non-lease components for equipment
leases.
●
The
package of practical expedients applied to all of its leases,
including (i) not reassessing whether any expired or existing
contracts are or contain leases, (ii) not reassessing the lease
classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iii) not
reassessing initial direct costs for any existing
leases.
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on
the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the
lease term at the commencement date for leases exceeding 12 months.
Minimum lease payments include only the fixed lease component of
the agreement.
DropCar, Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The Company’s operating leases do not provide an implicit
rate that can readily be determined. Therefore, the Company uses a
discount rate based on its incremental borrowing rate.
Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over
the lease term and is included in cost of sales and general and
administrative expenses. Amortization expense for finance (capital)
leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term
and is included in cost of sales or general and administrative
expenses, while interest expense for finance leases is recognized
using the effective interest method.
Adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of operating
lease right-of-use assets of approximately $23,000 (including
a reclassification from Prepaid expenses of a prepaid lease
approximating $9,500) and corresponding lease liabilities of
approximately $13,500 on the consolidated balance sheet as of
January 1, 2019. The standard did not materially impact operating
results or liquidity. Disclosures related to the amount, timing and
uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases are included in Note
8, Leases.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock
Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based
Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for nonemployee
share-based payment transactions. The amendments specify that Topic
718 applies to all share- based payment transactions in which a
grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a
grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment
awards. The guidance was adopted effective January 1, 2019, and the
adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on its
consolidated financial statements.
Aside from the adoption of ASU 2016-02, as described above, there have been no other
material changes to the significant accounting policies or recent
accounting pronouncements previously disclosed in DropCar, Inc.'s
2018 annual consolidated financial statements included in the
Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2018.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US
GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. Generally,
matters subject to estimation and judgement include amounts related
to accounts receivable realization, asset impairments, useful lives
of property and equipment and capitalized software costs, deferred
tax asset valuation allowances, and operating expense accruals.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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.
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.
The Company’s contracts are generally designed to provide
cash fees to the Company 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.

Monthly Subscriptions
The Company 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.
On Demand Valet and Parking Services
The Company 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 on Demand Service
The Company 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 on a
gross basis when the Company had satisfied all performance
obligations which is upon completion of the service.
On Demand Business-To-Business
The Company 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.

Employee Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes all employee share-based compensation as an
expense 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. Stock-based compensation is
reversed for forfeitures in the period of forfeiture.
Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (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. In periods when the Company has
income, the Company calculates basic earnings per share using
the two-class method, if required, pursuant to ASC
260 Earnings Per Share. The two-class method
was required effective with the issuance of convertible preferred
stock in the past because this class of stock qualified as a
participating security, giving the holder the right to receive
dividends should dividends be declared on common stock. Under
the two-class method, earnings for a period are allocated
on a pro rata basis to the common stockholders and to the holders
of convertible preferred stock based on the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding and number of shares that could be
issued upon conversion. 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.

programs that are expected to contribute to future earnings. Such
costs include labor, stock-based compensation, training, software
subscriptions, and consulting. These amounts are charged to the
condensed consolidated statement of operations as incurred. Total
research and development expenses were $48,330 and $63,971 for the

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 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 the Company beginning January 1, 2020. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June
2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments
– Credit Losses” to improve information on credit
losses for financial assets and net investment in leases that are
not accounted for at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13
replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a
methodology that reflects expected credit losses. In April 2019 and
May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, “Codification
Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit
Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825,
Financial Instruments” and ASU No.
2019-05, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic
326): Targeted Transition Relief” which provided
additional implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU.
Management has not yet completed its assessment of the impact of
the new standards on the Company’s financial statements. The
Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of these
ASUs will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
These ASUs are effective for the Company in the first quarter of
2020.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending
adoption of the new standard on its consolidated financial
statements and intends to adopt the standard on January 1,
2020.

Company considers the lock-up agreements contingent options
exchanged in a contemplated business combination. The lock-up
agreements are considered “lock-up options” that are
issued and accounted for upon the Merger. For the three and six
months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded $0 and $672,144 as

Litigation
The Company 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. In June 2019, the Company reached a
settlement covering all disputes in relation to the summons and
complaint which was covered and paid for by the Company’s
insurance carrier.
Other
As of December 31, 2018, the Company had accrued approximately
$232,000 for the settlement of multiple employment disputes. During
the six months ended June 30, 2019, approximately $88,000 of this
amount was settled upon payment. For the six months ended June 30,
2019 and 2018, $11,000 and $30,000, respectively, was expensed and
accrued for settlements. As of June 30, 2019, approximately
$155,000 remains accrued for the settlement of employment disputes.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company has entered into multiple

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 June 30, 2019, the Company has accrued
approximately $60,000 in relation to these matters.

Series H-4 Convertible Preferred Stock
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 424,533
shares of common stock of the Company, and warrants to purchase
424,533 shares of common stock of the Company, with an exercise
price of $15.60 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 are
immediately exercisable from the issuance date and are exercisable
for a period of five years from the issuance date.
On March 8, 2018, the Company 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”).
The Company 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
conversion price of $3.60 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.
The holders of Series H-4 Stock are entitled to certain
anti-dilution adjustments if the Company issues shares of its
common stock at a lower price per share than the applicable
conversion price of the Series H-4 Stock. If any such dilutive
issuance occurs prior to the conversion of the Series H-4 Stock,
the conversion price will be adjusted downward to a price equal to
the issuance (subject to a floor of $2.82 per share). On August 31,
2018, the Company entered into an agreement with certain investors
to exercise Series H-4 warrants and issue Series J warrants which
resulted in a reduced conversion price of $3.60 per share for the
Series H-4 Stock. See “Exercise of Series H-4 Warrants and
Issuance of Series J Warrants” below.
If at any time (i) the volume weighted average price
(“VWAP”) of the Common Stock exceeds $35.10 for not
less than ten (10) consecutive Trading Days (the “Mandatory
Exercise Measuring Period”); (ii) the daily average number of
shares of Common Stock traded during the Mandatory Exercise
Measuring Period equals or exceeds 25,000; and (iii) no equity
conditions failure has occurred as of such date, then the Company
shall have the right to require the holder to exercise all or any
portion of the Series H-4 Warrants still unexercised for a cash

Warrants
Service Based Warrants
On March 8, 2018, in connection with the financing discussed above,
the Company issued 1,371 Series H-4 Shares and 22,850 common stock
warrants to a service provider. The Company valued these warrants
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
inputs: exercise price of $15.60; fair market value of underlying
stock of $13.20; expected term of 5 years; risk free rate of 2.63%;
volatility of 120.63%; and dividend yield of 0%. For the period
ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded the fair market value of
the Series H-4 Shares and warrants as an increase and decrease to
additional paid in capital in the amount of $568,648 as these
services were provided in connection with the sale 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 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 1/18 of a share of Common Stock and 1/12 of a
warrant to purchase a share of Common Stock (collectively, the
“Series I Warrants”). The Series I Warrants have an
exercise price of $13.80 per share. In connection with the Exchange
Agreements, the Company issued an aggregate of (i) 48,786 new
shares of common stock and (ii) Series I Warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 73,178 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 $10.32, (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.
If at any time (i) the volume weighted average price
(“VWAP”) of the Common Stock exceeds $27.60 for not
less than the Mandatory Exercise Measuring Period; (ii) the daily
average number of shares of Common Stock traded during the
Mandatory Exercise Measuring Period equals or exceeds 25,000; and
(iii) no equity conditions failure has occurred as of such date,
then the Company shall have the right to require the holder to
exercise all or any portion of the Series I Warrants still
unexercised for a cash exercise.

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 $3.60 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 $6.00, (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
volume-weighted average price (as defined in the Series J Warrant)
for the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $9.00 for
not less than ten consecutive trading days.
If at any time (i) the VWAP of the Common Stock exceeds $9.00 for
not less than the Mandatory Exercise Measuring Period; (ii) the
daily average number of shares of Common Stock traded during the
Mandatory Exercise Measuring Period equals or exceeds 25,000; and
(iii) no equity conditions failure has occurred as of such date,
then the Company shall have the right to require the holder to
exercise all or any portion of the Series J Warrants still
unexercised for a cash exercise.
On September 4, 2018, the Company received executed Repricing Offer
Letters from a majority of the Holders, which resulted in the
issuance of 260,116 shares of the Company’s common stock and
Series J Warrants to purchase up to 260,116 shares of the
Company’s common stock. The Company received gross
proceeds of $936,423 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 its 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. On November 15, 2018, the
Company obtained such stockholder approval.
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 $3.90, (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
447,383 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 260,116 shares of common stock.
The Series H-4 Warrants were initially exercisable at an exercise
price equal to $15.60 per share. On November 15, 2018, the Company
obtained shareholder approval to reduce the exercise price from
$15.60 per share to $3.60 per share for 187,267 Series H-4
Warrants. The Company considers the modification to the warrant
exercise price to be of an equity nature. Therefore, the change in
the fair value before and after the modification is accounted for
as a deemed dividend in the amount of $63,760.

Issuance of Pre-Funded Series K Warrants
On November 14, 2018, the Company entered into a securities
purchase agreement with an investor, pursuant to which the Company
agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering, a
Pre-Funded Series K Warrant (the “Series K Warrant) to
purchase 277,778 shares of common stock, in lieu of shares of
common stock to the extent that the purchase of common stock would
cause the beneficial ownership of the purchaser to exceed 9.99% of
the Company’s common stock. The Pre-Funded Series K Warrants
were sold at an offering price of $3.54 per share for gross
proceeds of $983,329, are immediately exercisable for $0.06 per
share of common stock and do not have an expiration
date.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company issued
277,778 shares of common stock from the exercise of Series K
warrants and received cash proceeds of $16,667.

Overview
Strategy
Prior to the Merger, DropCar was a privately-held provider of
automotive vehicle support, fleet logistics and concierge services
for both consumers and the automotive industry. In 2015, we
launched our cloud-based Enterprise Vehicle Assistance and
Logistics (“VAL”) platform and mobile application
(“App”) to assist consumers and automotive-related
companies reduce the costs, hassles and inefficiencies of owning a
car, or fleet of cars, in urban centers. Our VAL platform is a
web-based interface to our core service that coordinates the
movements and schedules of trained valets who pickup and drop off
cars at dealerships and customer locations. The App tracks progress
and provides email and/or text notifications on status to
customers, increasing the quality of communication and subsequent
satisfaction with the service. To date, we operate primarily in the
New York metropolitan area and may expand our territory in the
future.
We achieve this balance of increased consumer flexibility and lower
consumer cost by aggregating demand for parking and other
automotive services and redistributing their fulfillment to
partners in the city and on city outskirt areas that have not
traditionally had access to lucrative city business. Beyond the
immediate unit economic benefits of securing bulk discounts from
vendor partners, we believe there is significant opportunity to
further provide additional products and services to clients across
the vehicle lifecycle.
On the enterprise side, original equipment manufacturers
(“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, face a similar urban
mobility challenge: getting cars to and from service bays,
rebalancing vehicle availability to meet demand and getting
vehicles from dealer lots to fleet locations.
We are able to offer our enterprise services at a fraction of
the cost of alternatives, including other third parties or
expensive in-house resources, given our pricing model that reduces
and/or eliminates any downtime expense while also giving clients
access to a network of trained valets on demand that can be scaled
up or down based on the real time needs of the enterprise client.
We support this model by maximizing the utilization of our
employee-valet workforce across a curated pipeline for both the
consumer and business network.
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 where vehicle
ownership becomes more car-shared or access 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. We believe that our unique blend of
B2B and B2C services make us well suited to introduce, and provide
the services necessary to execute, this next generation of
automotive subscription services.
Recent Developments
Intention to Explore Strategic Opportunities
On March 8, 2019, we announced we had initiated a process
to evaluate strategic opportunities to maximize shareholder value.
While management continues to focus on the Company’s business
activities and operations, this process will consider a range of
potential strategic opportunities including, but not limited to,
business combinations.
Reverse Stock Split
On March 8, 2019, we filed a certificate of amendment to our
amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a one-for-six
reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock. Such
amendment and ratio were previously approved by our stockholders
and board of directors, respectively. As a result of the reverse
stock split, every six shares of our outstanding pre-reverse split
common stock were combined and reclassified into one share of
common stock. Proportionate voting rights and other rights of
common stock holders were not affected by the reverse stock split.
Stockholders who would otherwise have held a fractional share of
common stock received payment in cash in lieu of any such resulting
fractional shares of common stock, as the post-reverse split
amounts of common stock were rounded down to the nearest full
share. Unless otherwise noted, all share and per share data
included in these financial statements retroactively reflect the
1-for-6 reverse stock split.
Securities Offerings
On March 26, 2019, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
with certain existing investors, pursuant to which we sold, in a
registered public offering by us directly to the investors an
aggregate of 478,469 shares of common stock, at an offering price
of $4.18 per share for proceeds of $1,985,001 net of offering
expenses of $15,000.
Results of Operations
We have never been profitable and have incurred significant
operating losses in each year since inception. Net losses for six
months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were approximately $2.9 million
and $8.5 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. As
of June 30, 2019, we had net working capital of approximately $1.9
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
Services Revenue
We generate substantially all of our revenue from on-demand vehicle
pick-up, parking and delivery services, providing automobile
maintenance, care and refueling services and through our B2B fleet
management services. The majority of our consumer contracts are
month-to-month subscription contracts with fixed monthly or
contract term fees.
Cost of Services
Cost of services consists of the aggregate costs incurred in
delivering the services for 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.
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 to increasingly become a key part of our overall
value proposition to B2C and B2B clients.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses
consist primarily of labor-related costs, online search and
advertising, trade shows, marketing agency fees, 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.
Discontinued Operations. On December 10, 2018, we signed a definitive
agreement with a private corporation and completed the sale on
December 24, 2018 of 100% of the Suisun City Operations, our wholly
owned subsidiary, for a total cash consideration of $3.5
million.
The operations and cash flows of the Suisun City Operations are

Results of Operations
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018–
Continuing Operations
Service Revenues
Service revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2019
totaled approximately $1.2 million, a decrease of approximately
$0.7 million, compared to approximately $1.9 million recorded for
the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily
due to the decrease in consumer movements per month pertaining to
“Steve” consumers and “Will” consumers.
Consumer movements per month totaled approximately 900 for the
three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of approximately 8,600
per month compared to the approximately 9,500 per month for the six
months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was primarily due to our
discontinuation of our monthly parking with front door valet
(“Steve”) service, (the on-demand valet and parking
service through the mobile application). For the three months ended
June 30, 2019, consumer movements were for valet on demand
(“Will”) customers alone.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2019 totaled
approximately $1.1 million, a decrease of approximately $1.4
million, compared to approximately $2.5 million recorded for the
three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was primarily due
to the discontinuation of our Steve program which resulted in
decreases of approximately $1.3 million in wages and related
expenses, approximately $0.2 million in repairs and damages,
approximately $0.1 million in travel and $0.1 million in cost of
gas and other services sold, partially offset by an increase of
approximately $0.1 million in parking garage fees, and
approximately $0.1 million in insurance and other costs. These
decreases are primarily due to the decrease in standby drivers who
would service the consumers. Standby drivers totaled approximately
50 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of
approximately 200 compared to the approximately 250 standby drivers
for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
We determined the previous Steve business model was too expensive
to continue. The revenue that “Steve” produced was
greater than the self-parking model; however, self-parking does not
require a field operations team or standby drivers which results in
a lower cost of revenue.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses for the three months ended June
30, 2019 totaled approximately $0.1 million, a de minimis decrease,
compared to approximately $0.1 million recorded for the three
months ended June 30, 2018.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30,
2019 totaled approximately $0.1 million, a decrease of
approximately $1.4 million, compared to approximately $1.5 million
recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease
was primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately $0.1
million in wages and related expenses, approximately $0.7 million
in marketing and training, approximately $0.4 million in
stock-based compensation, and approximately $0.2 million in other
costs. The decreases are primarily related to the decrease in our
marketing campaign in relation to our services
provided.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June
30, 2019 totaled approximately $0.8 million, a decrease of
approximately $1.1 million, compared to approximately $1.9 million
recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease
was primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately $0.4
million in stock-based compensation, approximately $0.2 million in
wages and related expenses, approximately $0.1 million in
professional fees, and approximately $0.4 in other costs. The
decreases are primarily related to the decrease in our personnel in
a effort to reduce costs.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization during the three months ended June
30, 2019 totaled approximately $0.1 million, which was consistent
with approximately $0.1 million recorded for the three months ended
June 30, 2018.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018–
Continuing Operations
Service Revenues
Service revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled
approximately $2.3 million, a decrease of approximately $1.3
million, compared to approximately $3.6 million recorded for the
six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to
the decrease in consumer movements per month pertaining to
“Steve” consumers and “Will” consumers.
Consumer movements per month totaled approximately 1,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of approximately 7,000
per month compared to the approximately 8,000 per month for the six
months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was primarily due to our
discontinuation of the Steve service, (the on-demand valet and
parking service through the mobile application). For the six months
ended June 30, 2019, consumer movements were for Will customers
alone.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled
approximately $2.2 million, a decrease of approximately $2.6
million, compared to approximately $4.8 million recorded for the
six months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was primarily due to
the discontinuation of our “Steve” program which
resulted in decreases of approximately $2.2 million in wages and
related expenses, approximately $0.3 million in repairs and
damages, approximately $0.2 million in travel and approximately
$0.1 million in cost of gas and other services sold, and
approximately $0.1 in other costs, partially offset by an increase
of approximately $0.2 million in parking garage fees and
approximately $0.1 million in insurance. These decreases are
primarily due to the decrease in standby drivers who would service
the consumers. Standby drivers totaled approximately 50 for the six
months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of approximately 200
compared to the approximately 250 standby drivers for the six
months ended June 30, 2018.
We determined the previous “Steve” business model was
too expensive to continue. The revenue that “Steve”
produced was greater than the self-parking model; however,
self-parking does not require a field operations team or standby
drivers.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30,
2019 totaled approximately $0.1 million, a decrease of
approximately $0.1 million, compared to approximately $0.2 million
recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019
totaled approximately $0.5 million, a decrease of approximately
$2.0 million, compared to approximately $2.5 million recorded for
the six months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was primarily
attributable to a decrease of approximately $0.4 million in wages
and related expenses and approximately $1.3 million in marketing
and training, approximately $0.2 million in stock-based
compensation, and approximately $0.1 in other costs. The decreases
are primarily related to the decrease in our marketing campaign in
relation to our services provided.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June
30, 2019 totaled approximately $2.2 million, a decrease of
approximately $1.5 million, compared to approximately $3.7 million
recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was
primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately $0.7 million
in stock-based compensation, approximately $0.3 million in wages
and related expenses, approximately $0.1 in insurance,
approximately $0.1 in recruitment and training, approximately $0.2
million in professional fees, and approximately $0.3 in other
costs, partially offset by an increase of approximately $0.2
million in investor relations. The decreases are primarily related
to the decrease in our personnel in a effort to reduce
costs.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization during the six months ended June 30,
2019 totaled approximately $0.2 million, which was consistent with
approximately $0.2 million recorded for the six months ended June
30, 2018.
Other income (expense), net
Other income (expense), net during the six months ended June 30,
2019 was a de minimis amount, a decrease of approximately $1.1
million, compared to approximately $1.1 million recorded for the
six months ended June 30, 2018. Other income (expense), net
primarily includes interest expense. This decrease in interest
expense was primarily attributable to the conversion of outstanding
convertible notes into equity upon the Merger and in relation to
the lock-up agreements in 2018. There were no outstanding
convertible notes as of June 30, 2019 and December 31,
2018.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since the inception of Private DropCar on September 12, 2014,
we have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from
operations. Further, our sales and income potential of our business
and market remain unproven. For the six months ended June 30,
2019 and 2018, we had losses from continuing operations of
approximately $2.9 million and $8.9 million, respectively. At
June 30, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $32.7 million. We
anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses into the
foreseeable future and will need to raise additional capital to
continue. At June 30, 2019, we had cash of $3.4 million. At
these capital levels, we believe we do not have sufficient funds to
continue to operate for a 12 month period from the date of the
financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, by which point we will need to become profitable, improve
cash flow from operations, begin selling property and equipment, or
complete a new capital raise. These factors raise substantial doubt
about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern.
Our plans include raising funds from outside investors. 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. 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. As
such, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared
under the assumption the Company will continue as a going
concern.
On March 26, 2019, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
with certain existing investors, pursuant to which we agreed to
issue and sell, in a registered public offering by us directly to
the investors an aggregate of 478,469 shares of common stock, at an
offering price of $4.18 per share for proceeds of approximately
$2.0 million net of offering expenses of $15,000.
During the period ended June 30, 2019, we issued 277,778 shares of
common stock from the exercise of Series K warrants and received
cash proceeds of $16,667.
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.
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 continuing
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 – Continuing Operations
We have historically experienced negative cash outflows as we have
developed and expanded our business. Our primary source of cash
flow from operating activities is recurring subscription receipts
from customers and, to a lesser extent, monthly invoice payments
from business-to-business customers. Our primary use 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 six months ended June
30, 2019 was approximately $2.6 million, which includes a net loss
from continuing operations of approximately $2.9 million, offset by
non-cash expenses of approximately $0.9 million principally related
to $0.2 million related of depreciation and amortization, and $0.6
million of stock-based compensation expense and other costs, and
approximately $0.5 million of cash used by a change in net working
capital items principally related to $0.4 million related to the
decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, and lease
liability, and $0.1 million related to the increase in accounts
receivable and prepaid expenses and other assets.
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June
30, 2018 was approximately $7.0 million, which includes a net
loss from continuing operations of approximately $8.9 million,
offset by non-cash expenses of approximately $2.7 million
principally related to depreciation and amortization of $0.3
million, non-cash interest expense of $0.7 million and stock-based
compensation expense of $1.6 million, and approximately $0.7
million of cash used by a change in net working capital items
principally related to $0.6 million increase in accounts receivable
and prepaid expenses and other current assets, approximately $0.1
million related to the decrease in accounts payable and accrued
expenses, and approximately less than $0.1 million related to the
decrease in deferred revenue.
Investing Activities – Continuing Operations
Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30,
2019 of approximately $0.1 million primarily resulted from
capitalization of software costs.
Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June
30, 2018 of approximately $0.3 million primarily resulted from
capitalization of software costs and purchase of property and
equipment.
Financing Activities – Continuing Operations
Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June
30, 2019 totaled approximately $1.8 million, primarily resulting
from proceeds of $2.0 million from the sale of the common stock,
partially offset by excess tax benefits paid of approximately $0.2
million.
Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June
30, 2018 totaled approximately $6.2 million, primarily resulting
from proceeds of $6.0 million from the sale of the Series H-4
Shares and warrants and $0.3 million from the sale of common stock,
offset by financing costs related to the Series H-4 Shares and
warrants of approximately $0.1 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 June 30, 2019.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures about Market Risk.
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and
Procedures.
(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including the CEO and CFO, evaluated the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of June 30,
2019. Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded the
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the
material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting
described below.
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of
June 30, 2019 based on the criteria set forth in Internal
Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").
Based on management’s assessment, the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial
reporting as of June 30, 2019 as a result of the material
weaknesses described below:
A.
Control environment, control activities and
monitoring:
The Company did not design and maintain effective internal control
over financial reporting related to control environment, control
activities and monitoring based on the criteria established in the
COSO Framework including more specifically:
●
Competency
of resources: Management did not effectively execute a strategy to
hire, train and retain a sufficient complement of personnel with an
appropriate level of training, knowledge and experience in certain
areas important to financial reporting; and
●
Deployment
and oversight of control activities: Management did not implement
effective oversight to support deployment of control activities due
to (a) failure to establish clear accountability for the
performance of internal control over financial reporting
responsibilities in certain areas important to financial reporting
and (b) a limited segregation of duties amongst Company employees
with respect to the Company’s control activities, primarily
as a result of the Company’s limited number of
employees.
B.
Review of the Financial Reporting Process:
The Company did perform an adequate review of the financial
reporting process (i.e., untimely accounting for certain
significant transactions, inadequate review of journal entries, and
financial statements and related footnotes) which resulted in
material corrected misstatements and disclosure
adjustments.
Remediation Efforts
Management is committed to the remediation of the material
weaknesses described above, as well as the continued improvement of
our internal control over financial reporting. We have identified
and implemented, and continue to implement, the actions described
below to remediate the underlying causes of the control
deficiencies that gave rise to the material weaknesses. As we
continue our evaluation and improve our internal control over
financial reporting, management may modify the actions described
below or identify and take additional measures to address control
deficiencies. Until the remediation efforts described below,
including any additional measures management identifies as
necessary, are completed, the material weaknesses described above
will continue to exist.
To address the material weakness noted above, the Company is in the
process of:
●
hiring
additional personnel who possess the requisite skillsets in certain
areas important to financial reporting;
●
assessing
the required training needs to ascertain continuous development of
existing personnel;
●
performing
a comprehensive review of current procedures to ensure a lack of
segregation of duties and compliance with the Company’s
accounting policies and GAAP;
●
hiring
additional personnel in order to mitigate the risk of a lack of
segregation of duties.
We believe these measures will remediate the material weaknesses
noted. While we have completed some of these measures as of the
date of this report, we have not completed and tested all of the
planned corrective processes, enhancements, procedures and related
evaluation that we believe are necessary to determine whether the
material weaknesses have been fully remediated. We believe the
corrective actions and controls need to be in operation for a
sufficient period of time for management to conclude that the
control environment is operating effectively and has been
adequately tested through audit procedures. Accordingly, the
material weaknesses have not been fully remediated as of the date
of this report. As we continue to evaluate and work to remediate
the control deficiencies that gave rise to the material weaknesses,
we may determine that additional measures or time are required to
address the control deficiencies or that we need to modify or
otherwise adjust the remediation measures described above. We will
continue to assess the effectiveness of our remediation efforts in
connection with our evaluation of our internal control over
financial reporting.
(b)
Appointment of new Chief Financial Officer
On February 14, 2019, our Board of Directors approved (1) the
termination of Paul Commons as Chief Financial Officer and any
other positions on which he served with respect to
the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and (2)
the appointment of Mark Corrao as our new Chief Financial Officer,
in each case effective as of February 28, 2019. Mr. Corrao
possesses appropriate knowledge and experience in preparing the
financial statements under U.S. GAAP at the transition period when
the former CFO left.
(c)
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Our remediation efforts were ongoing during the fiscal quarter
ended June 30, 2019. Other than the remediation steps described
above and the appointment of our new Chief Financial Officer
described above, there were no other material changes in our
internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended
June 30, 2019 that materially affected, or are 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.
As of December 31, 2018, we had accrued approximately $232,000 for
the settlement of multiple employment disputes. During the six
months ended June 30, 2019, approximately $88,000 of this amount
was settled upon payment. For the six months ended June 30, 2019
and 2018, $11,000 and $30,000, respectively, was expensed and
accrued for settlements. As of June 30, 2019, approximately
$155,000 remains accrued for the settlement of employment disputes.
As of June 30, 2019, we have entered into multiple settlement
agreements with former employees for which we have agreed to make
monthly settlement payments which will extend through the year
ended December 31, 2019.
On March 23, 2018, we were 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 we properly paid overtime for which we have raised several
defenses. In addition, the DOL is conducting its audit to determine
whether the we owe 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 our business, consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows. As of June 30, 2019, we have accrued
approximately $60,000 in relation to these matters.
We are involved in various legal matters arising in the normal
course of business. Losses, including estimated costs to defend,
are recorded for these matters to the extent they were probable of
loss and the amount of loss could be reasonably estimated. We do
not believe that any such matters, either individually or in the
aggregate, will have a material impact on our results of operations
and financial position, except for the matters discussed
above.
An investment in shares of our common stock is highly speculative
and involves a high degree of risk. We face a variety of risks that
may affect our operations and financial results and many of those
risks are driven by factors that we cannot control or predict.
Before investing in our common stock, you should carefully consider
the following risks, together with the financial and other
information contained in this report. If any of the following risks
actually occurs, our business, prospects, financial condition and
results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In
that case, the trading price of our common stock would likely
decline, and you may lose all or a part of your investment. Only
those investors who can bear the risk of loss of their entire
investment should invest in our common stock.
There have been no material changes, to our risk factors contained
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 3,
2019, as subsequently amended on April 12, 2019. For a further
discussion of our Risk Factors, refer to the “Risk
Factors” discussion contained in such Current Report on Form
10-K.
Our exploration and pursuit of strategic opportunities may not be
successful.
On March 8, 2019, we announced that we had initiated a process
to evaluate strategic opportunities to maximize shareholder value.
While management continues to focus on our business activities and
operations, this process will consider a range of potential
strategic opportunities including, but not limited to, business
combinations. Despite devoting significant efforts to
identify and evaluate potential strategic transactions, the process
may not result in any definitive offer to consummate
a strategic transaction, or, if we receive such a definitive
offer, the terms may not be as favorable as anticipated or may not
result in the execution or approval of a definitive agreement. In
addition, even if we enter into a definitive agreement, we may not
be successful in completing the transaction, which could have a
material adverse effect on our business.
If we are successful in completing a strategic transaction,
such a transaction may not enhance stockholder value or deliver
expected benefits and may expose us to additional operational and
financial risks.
Although there can be no assurance that a strategic
transaction will result from the process we have undertaken
to evaluate strategic
opportunities to maximize shareholder value, the negotiation and consummation of any such
transaction will require significant time on the part of our
management, and the diversion of management’s attention may
disrupt our business. The negotiation and consummation of any such
transaction may also require more time or greater cash resources
than we anticipate and expose us to other operational and financial
risks. In addition, in the event we are successful in
evaluating and completing a strategic transaction, such transaction
may not enhance stockholder value as anticipated or deliver
expected benefits. Any of the foregoing risks could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
prospects.
Current and future employee disputes may result in additional
liabilities.
We are presently subject to certain employee disputes, as well as
an audit being conducted by the New York State Department of Labor
regarding whether our workforce is entitled to certain statutory
wage payments. In addition, we may from time to time, be
subject to additional disputes and litigation with respect to our
employment practices. Regardless of their merit, such
disputes could lead to costly litigation and/or result in
settlement liability. For additional information, please see
the section entitled “Part II – Item 1 – Legal
Proceedings” in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q.
Historically, a majority of our revenue has come from our B2C
business that we are significantly altered effective as of
September 1, 2018. Failure to generate sufficient revenue from our
newly altered B2C business or from our existing B2B business may
have a material adverse impact on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows, including our
ability to continue to operate.
As further discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, in July 2018, we began assessing demand for a Self-Park
Spaces monthly parking plan in our B2C business. This model aligns
more directly with how we have structured the enterprise B2B side
of our business. We have decided that the Self-Park Spaces plan
will be the only consumer plan that we will offer consumers after
September 1, 2018. As a result of this shift, in August 2018, we
began to significantly streamline our field teams, operations and
back office support tied to our pre-September 1, 2018 consumer
subscription plans. If we are unsuccessful in maintaining and
growing our subscription revenue under our newly structured B2C
business, our business, financial position, results of operations,
and cash flows may be adversely affected.
We currently depend on corporate clients and the B2B market for a
significant portion of our revenue and expect to depend on such
clients for a significantly greater portion of our revenue in the
future. The success of this strategy will depend on our ability to
maintain existing B2B partners, obtain new B2B partners, and
generate a community of participating corporate clients
sufficiently large to support such a model. We may not be
successful in establishing such partnerships on terms that are
commercially favorable, if at all, and may encounter financial and
logistical difficulties associated with sustaining such
partnerships. If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining
our B2B model, our business, financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows may be adversely affected.
Changes to our business model or services could require us to issue
refunds or credits to our customers.
As we continue to expand our business and develop our business
model, we may modify or cancel certain services. Because we
collect payment from our customers on a monthly basis, such
modifications or cancellations could require us to issue certain
refunds or credits to our customers for prepaid services,
particularly if changes are made in the middle of a billing
cycle. Should this occur, we could become subject to a number
of risks in connection with the issuance of refunds or credits,
including errors in recording and issuing such refunds or credits,
delays associated with such issuances, or customer dissatisfaction
with our handling of the refund process, which could adversely
affect our operating results.
We face risks related to liabilities resulting from the use of
client vehicles by our employees.
Our business can expose us to claims for property damage, personal
injury and death resulting from the operation and storage of client
cars by our drivers. While operating client cars, drivers could
become involved in motor vehicle accidents due to mechanical or
manufacturing defects, or user error by the DropCar-employed driver
or by a third-party driver that results in death or significant
property damage for which we may be liable.
In
addition, we depend on our drivers to inspect the vehicles prior to
driving in order to identify any potential damage or safety concern
with the vehicle. To the extent that we are found at fault or
otherwise responsible for an accident, our insurance coverage prior
to August 28, 2017 would only cover losses up to a maximum of $1
million, in certain instances, and our current insurance coverage,
which has been in place since August 28, 2017, would only cover
losses up to a maximum of $5 million, in certain instances, in each
case in the United States.
