1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION
2050
Motors, Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated on October 9, 2012, in the state of Nevada to import, market, and sell
electric cars manufactured in China. On October 25, 2012, 2050 Motors, Inc., entered into an agreement with Jiangsu Aoxin New
Energy Automobile Co., Ltd., (“Aoxin”), located in Jiangsu, China, for the distribution in the United States of a
new electric automobile, known as the e-Go EV.
Note
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
of America (“US GAAP”).
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make certain 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Significant estimates include collectability of accounts receivable, accounts payable, sales returns and recoverability
of long-term assets.
Cash
Cash
consists of deposits in one large national bank. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had $11,766 and $81,984 in cash in
the United States. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on
its cash in bank accounts.
Property,
Plant & Equipment
Property,
plant and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful
life of the asset or the lease term. The estimated useful lives of our property and equipment are generally as follows: tools
and equipment, five years; vehicles and parts, three years; leasehold improvements, lesser of lease term or life of related asset;
and furniture and fixtures, seven years.
As
of December 31, 2016 and 2015, Property, plant and equipment consisted of the following:

Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
For
certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term debt and
derivative liability, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. We adopted ASC Topic 820,
“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,”, which requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held
by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation
hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying
amounts reported in the balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a
reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their
expected realization and their current market rate of interest. 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 valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level
1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level
2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that
are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level
3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity
to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or
significant value drivers are unobservable.
The
Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities
from Equity,” and ASC 815.
We
have recorded the conversion option on few notes as a derivative liability as a result of the variable conversion price, which
in accordance with U.S. GAAP, prevents them from being considered as indexed to our stock and qualified for an exception to derivative
accounting.
We
recognize derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets at fair value. We record changes
in the fair value of the derivatives in the accompanying statement of operations.
Assets
and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows as of December 31, 2016:

Earnings
Per Share (EPS)
Basic
EPS is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted EPS is computed similar to basic net income per share except that the denominator is increased to include
the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all the potential common shares, warrants and stock
options had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted EPS is based on the assumption that all dilutive
convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for
the outstanding options and the if-converted method for the outstanding convertible preferred shares. Under the treasury stock
method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later),
and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Under the if-converted
method, convertible outstanding instruments are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the period (or at
the time of issuance, if later). During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred losses. Therefore, the
effect of any common stock equivalents is anti- dilutive during those periods.

following table sets for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Revenue
Recognition
Revenue
is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and
collectability is probable. Revenue generally is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers
and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
Cost
of Sales
Cost
of sales consists primarily of inventory costs, as well as warehousing costs (including the cost of warehouse labor), shipping,
importation duties and charges, third party royalties, and product sampling.
Advertising
and Marketing Costs
Costs
incurred for producing and communicating advertising and marketing are expensed when incurred and included in selling general
and administrative expenses. Advertising and marketing expense amounted to $172,841 and $16,764 for the years ended December 31,
2016 and 2015, respectively.
Operating
Overhead Expense
Operating
overhead expense consists primarily of payroll and benefit related costs, rent, depreciation and amortization, professional services,
and meetings and travel.
Income
Taxes
The
Company utilizes FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred
tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that were included in the financial statements or
tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between
the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and
statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances
are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The
Company follows FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, (codified in FASB ASC Topic 740). When
tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while
others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately
sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available
evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution
of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions
that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50
percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated
with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax
benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing
authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties
are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of income.
At
December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had not taken any significant uncertain tax positions on its tax returns for period ended
December 31, 2016 and prior years or in computing its tax provision for 2016. Management has considered its tax positions and
believes that all of the positions taken by the Company in its Federal and State tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained
upon examination. The Company is subject to examination by U.S. Federal and State tax authorities from inception to present, generally
for three years after they are filed.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Cash
is mainly maintained by one highly qualified institution in the United States. At various times, such amounts are in excess of
federally insured limits. Management does not believe that the Company is subject to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal
risk associated with commercial banking relationships. The Company has not experienced any losses on our deposits of cash. ..
Risks
and Uncertainties
The
Company is subject to risks from, among other things, competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated
with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history and the volatility of
public markets.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2016, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows
(Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This update addresses a diversity in practice in how certain
cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash
Flows, and other Topics. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim
period. We adopted this ASU in 2016 and the implementation did not have a material impact on our financial position or statement
of operations.
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, “
Presentation
of Financial Statements – Going Concern”
, Subtopic 205-40, “
Disclosure of Uncertainties about an
Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.”
The amendments in this ASU apply to all entities and
require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain
principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term
substantial
doubt,
(2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering
the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result
of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is
not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued
(or available to be issued). The amendments in this update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016,
and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. We adopted this ASU in 2016 and the implementation
did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Reclassification
Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no
effect on the reported results of operations or cash flow.
Note
3 – GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, which contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company reported accumulated deficit
of $2,808,915 as of December 31, 2016. The Company also incurred net losses of $1,033,117 and $728,924 for the years ended December
31, 2016 and 2015, respectively and had negative working capital for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. To date, these
losses and deficiencies have been financed principally through the issuance of common stock, loans from related parties and from
third parties.
In
view of the matters described, there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern without
a significant infusion of capital. We anticipate that we will have to raise additional capital to fund operations over the next
12 months. To the extent that we are required to raise additional funds to acquire properties, and to cover costs of operations,
we intend to do so through additional offerings of debt or equity securities. There are no commitments or arrangements for other
offerings in place, no guaranties that any such financings would be forthcoming, or as to the terms of any such financings. Any
future financing will involve substantial dilution to existing investors.
Note
4 – VEHICLE DEPOSITS
Vehicle
deposit of $24,405, as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, represents one prototype test model for delivery into the United States
in late 2017. This vehicle will undergo an advanced crash test known in the Automobile Safety Industry as the “overlap crash
test”.
Note
5 – LICENSE AGREEMENT
In
2012 and 2013, the Company made a total payment of $50,000 and signed an exclusive license agreement with Aoxin to import, assemble
and manufacture the advanced carbon fiber electric vehicle, the e-Go EV model. The cost of this license agreement has been recognized
as a long-term asset and is evaluated, by management, for impairment losses at each reporting period. As of December 31, 2016,
no such impairment losses have been identified by the management.
Note
6 – ACCOUNTS PAYABLE DUE TO RELATED PARTIES
A
related party of the Company paid $7,750 cash on behalf of the Company during the second quarter of 2016. The cash advance is
non- interest bearing and was due on August 1, 2016. The amount is still unpaid and outstanding as of December 31, 2016.
Note
7 – LOANS PAYABLE DUE TO RELATED PARTIES
During
the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company raised two loans for a total amount of $100,000 due to a shareholder. The loans
bear 12% interest and matured on February 28, 2015 and March 30, 2015, respectively. In March 2015, the maturity dates of the
notes were extended by twelve months. The outstanding balance as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $36,050 and $66,050, respectively.
During the years ended December 31 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded interest expense of $7,381 and $11,438, respectively, on
the note.
During
the third quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Company received a cash advance of $3,410 from one of its executives. The cash
advance was non-interest bearing and due on demand. The advance was returned in November, 2016.
Note
8 – LOAN PAYABLE DUE TO NON RELATED PARTIES
The
Company received a $10,000 loan during the third quarter of 2016 from an unrelated party. The loan bears 12% interest and matures
on March 16, 2017. The Company accrued interest expense of $348 on the loan during the year ended December 31, 2016.
Note
9 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLES
On
November 1,
2016,
the
Company
entered
into
four
convertible
promissory
notes
with
three
unrelated
parties. The
principle
amount
is $10,000
for
each
note
and
carries
interest
of
12%
annum.
All
four
notes
mature
on
April
30,
2017
. The notes may be converted into common stock of the Company at any time
by the election of the lender at a conversion price of $0.075 per share. The Company recorded a debt discount of $16,000 for the
difference in the conversion price and the fair market value on the date of agreement. The debt discount is being amortized over
the term of the notes. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company amortized $5,332 of the debt discount. During the
year ended December 31, 2016, the Company accrued interest expense of $787 on the four notes
.
On
October 26, 2016, the Company entered into a convertible note agreement, with an accredited investor, for $65,000. The note bears
interest at 12% per annum and is due and payable on July 26, 2017. The note has financing cost of $9,500 associated with it. This
deferred financing fee has been deducted directly from the carrying value of the note, pursuant to ASU 2015-03. The deferred financing
fee is being amortized over the term of the convertible note payable. The Company may prepay the note in full together with any
accrued and unpaid interest plus any applicable pre-payment premium set forth in the note. Until the Ninetieth (90th) day after
the Issuance Date the Company may pay the principal at a cash redemption premium of 135%, in addition to outstanding interest,
which can be paid without the Holder’s consent; from the 90th day to the One Hundred and Twentieth (120th) day after
the Issuance Date, the Company may pay the principal at a cash redemption premium of 140%, in addition to outstanding interest,
which can be paid without the Holder’s consent; from the 12th day to the One Hundred and Eightieth (180th) day after
the Issuance Date, the Company may pay the principal at a cash redemption premium of 145%, in addition to outstanding interest,
which can be paid without the Holder’s consent. After the 180
th
day up to the Maturity Date this Note shall have
a cash redemption premium of 150% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note, plus accrued interest and Default Interest
if any, which may only be paid by the Company upon Holder’s prior written consent The note is convertible into fully paid
and non-assessable shares of common stock, after 180 days from the date of the note, at a conversion price which is lower of:
(i) a 50% discount to the lowest trading price during the previous twenty trading days prior to the date of a conversion notice;
or (ii) a 50% discount to the lowest trading price during the previous twenty trading days before the date that this note was
executed. Since the conversion price of the note is variable, the conversion option has been treated as a derivative liability.
The derivative liability on the note was calculated, using the Binomial model, to be $242,500, of which $55,500 was recorded as
a debt discount and the balance $186,500 was recorded as an interest expense, at inception. The derivative liability was recalculated
on December 31, 2016 as $270,025 and the difference in the value was recorded as a change in derivative liability in the income
statement. The Company amortized a debt discount of $13,418, during the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company amortized the
finance fee of $2,111 during the year ended December 31, 2016. Interest expense of $1,410 was accrued on the convertible note
during the year ended December 31, 2016.
The
variables used for the Binomial model are as listed below:

10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In
November 2013, the Company signed a new facility lease. The monthly lease amount is $2,400. The lease term commenced on December
15, 2013 and expired on December 31, 2015. The lease was continued on a month to month basis and was terminated on February 29,
2016.
Effective
March 1, 2014, the Company signed a lease for four thousand square feet of industrial space in North Las Vegas. The term of
the lease is for three years and cost $2,200 per month. The lease expires on April 30, 2017, after which it will
continue on a month to month basis at the same rent.
Effective
September 16, 2015, the Company renewed its residential lease agreement in California for its traveling consultants. Effective
September 2015, the Company extended the lease agreement for one more year with a new monthly amount of $2,300. As of June 30,
2016, the Company discontinued its lease, which was assumed by a consultant of the Company.
Rent
expense amounted to $47,717 and $93,703 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
According
to the license agreement signed between the Company and Aoxin, in order to maintain exclusive rights for the United States (US),
the Company is required to purchase and sell certain amount of eGo EV model vehicles per year for a certain period of time starting
from the completion of the requirements established by the United States Department of Transportation’s protocols for the
eGo EV model. The table below demonstrates the required amount of vehicles that the company needs to sell per year

As
part of the license agreement, the Company is committed to pay expenses related to any required airbag testing procedures. The
cost of these airbags could be as little as $500,000 or as much as $2 million.
The
Company may from time to time, become a party to various legal proceedings, arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company
investigates these claims as they arise. Management does not believe, based on current knowledge, that there were any such claims
outstanding as of December 31, 2016.
Note
11 – REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT- RELATED PARTY
On
February 12, 2016, the Company signed a twelve months revolving line of credit agreement with a consulting firm which is also
utilized for consulting services. The line amount is $100,000 and carries interest at 12% per annum. As of December 31, 2016,
the outstanding balance was $101,400.
Note
12 – INCOME TAXES
The
Company did not file its tax returns for fiscal years from 2012 through 2016. Management believes that it should not have any
material impact on the Company’s financials because the Company did not have any tax liabilities due to net loss incurred
during these years.
Based
on the available information and other factors, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets
at December 31, 2016 and 2015 will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, management has recorded a full valuation allowance against
its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2016 and 2015. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had federal net operating
loss carry-forwards of approximately $2,800,000 and $1,775,000, respectively, expiring beginning in 2032.

Note
13 – PROMISSORY NOTE AND EQUITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT
On
June 24, 2016, the Company issued a $75,000 nonrefundable Promissory Note to an investor as a pre condition to an Equity Purchase
Agreement. The promissory note bears 10% interest per annum with a one year maturity date. The note has an associated deferred
equity issuance cost and is being amortized over the contract period.
The
Equity Purchase Agreement allows the Company to issue Put Notices and the right to sell up to $10,000,000 of its no par value
common stock at 88% of its market value. The market value is based on a ten day valuation period immediately preceding the Put
Notice. The right to sell the shares becomes an obligation to sell as of the closing date after the Put Notice has been issued
to the investor. The investor at no time can own more than 9.99% of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of the closing
date.
As
of December 31, 2016, the outstanding balance of the note was $75,000.
Note
14 – EQUITY
During
the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company issued 85,713 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.35 per share for
a total cash amount of $30,000.
During
the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company issued 225,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.215 per share for
a total of $48,375 of services rendered to the Company.
