NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Transportation
and Logistics Systems, Inc. (“TLSS” or the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of
the State of Nevada, on July 25, 2008. The Company operates through its subsidiaries as a logistics and transportation company
specializing in ecommerce fulfillment, last mile deliveries, two-person home delivery, mid-mile, and long-haul services for predominantly
online retailers.
On
March 30, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), TLSS and Save On Transport Inc. (“Save On”) entered
into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated as of the same date (the “Share Exchange Agreement”). Pursuant to the
terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, on the Closing Date, Save On became a wholly-owned subsidiary of TLSS (the “Reverse
Merger”). Save On was incorporated in the state of Florida and started business on July 12, 2016. This transaction was
treated as a reverse merger and recapitalization of Save On for financial reporting purposes because the Save On shareholders
retained an approximate 80% controlling interest in the post-merger consolidated entity. Save On was considered the acquirer for
accounting purposes, and the Company’s historical financial statements before the Reverse Merger were replaced with the
historical financial statements of Save On before the Reverse Merger. The balance sheets at their historical cost basis of both
entities were combined at the Closing Date and the results of operations from the Closing Date forward include the historical
results of Save On and results of TLSS from the Closing Date forward. On May 1, 2019, the Company entered into a share exchange
agreement with Save On and Steven Yariv, whereby the Company returned all of the stock of Save On to Steven Yariv in exchange
for Mr. Yariv conveying 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company back to the Company. In addition, the Company granted
an aggregate of 80,000 options to certain employees of Save On. On April 16, 2019, Mr. Yariv ceased to be an officer or director
of the Company.
On
June 18, 2018 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding
membership interests of Prime EFS, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“Prime EFS”), from its members
pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Stock Purchase Agreement entered into among the Company and the Prime EFS members on
the Acquisition Date (the “SPA”). Prime EFS is a New Jersey based transportation company with a focus on deliveries
for on-line retailers in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
On
July 24, 2018, the Company formed Shypdirect LLC (“Shypdirect”), a company organized under the laws of New
Jersey. Shypdirect is a transportation company with a focus on tractor trailer and box truck deliveries of product on the east
coast of the United States from one distributor’s warehouse to another warehouse or from a distributor’s warehouse
to the post office.
On
June 19, 2020, Amazon Logistics, Inc. (“Amazon”) notified Prime EFS in writing (the “Prime EFS Termination
Notice”), that Amazon would not renew its Delivery Service Partner (DSP) Agreement with Prime EFS when that agreement
(the “In-Force Agreement”) expired on September 30, 2020 and such In-Force Agreement, in fact, expired on September
30, 2020.
Additionally,
on July 17, 2020, Amazon notified Shypdirect that Amazon had elected to terminate the Amazon Relay Carrier Terms of Service (the
“Program Agreement”) between Amazon and Shypdirect effective as of November 14, 2020 (the “Shypdirect
Termination Notice”). On August 3, 2020, Amazon offered to withdraw the Shypdirect Termination Notice and extend the
term of the Program Agreement to and including May 14, 2021, conditioned on Prime EFS executing, for nominal consideration, a
separation agreement with Amazon under which Prime EFS agrees to cooperate in an orderly transition of its Amazon last-mile delivery
business to other service providers, Prime EFS released any and all claims it may have against Amazon, and Prime EFS covenanted
not to sue Amazon (the “Aug. 3 Proposal”). On August 4, 2020, the Company, Prime EFS and Shypdirect accepted
the Aug. 3 Proposal.
Approximately
58.5% and 39.0% (for a total of 97.5%) of the Company’s revenue of $23,503,384 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020
was attributable to Prime EFS’s last-mile DSP business and Shypdirect’s mid-mile and long-haul business with Amazon,
respectively. The termination of the Amazon last-mile business will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business
in the 4th fiscal quarter of 2020 and thereafter. If the Amazon mid-mile and long-haul business is discontinued after May 14,
2021 it would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business in 2nd fiscal quarter of 2021 and thereafter.
While
the Company will seek to replace its last-mile DSP Amazon business and supplement its mid-mile and long-haul Amazon business,
such initiatives are consistent with its already existing business plan to: (i) seek new last-mile, mid-mile and long-haul business
with other, non-Amazon, customers; (ii) explore other strategic relationships; and (iii) identify potential acquisition opportunities,
while continuing to execute our restructuring plan, commenced in February 2020.
TLSS
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Prime EFS and Shypdirect are hereafter referred to as the “Company”.

NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis
of presentation and principles of consolidation
The
condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures
necessary for comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations or cash flow. However, these unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these unaudited interim
condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended
December 31, 2019, and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, filed on May 29, 2020.
The
Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of its annual and interim reports. The results of operations in
interim periods are not necessarily an indication of operating results to be expected for the full year.
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of TLSS and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Save On (through April 30, 2019), Prime EFS and Shypdirect. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
On
May 1, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Save On and Steven Yariv, whereby the Company returned all
of the stock of Save On to Steven Yariv in exchange for Mr. Yariv conveying 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company back
to the Company. Pursuant to Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 205-20-45, the financial statement in which net
income or loss of a business entity is reported shall report the results of operations of the discontinued operation in the period
in which a discontinued operation either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale. Accordingly, beginning in the
second quarter of 2019, the period that Save On was disposed of, the Company reflects Save On as a discontinued operation and
such presentation is retroactively applied to all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Going
concern
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization
of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had a net loss of $35,506,373 and
net cash used in operations was $2,369,261. Additionally, the Company had an accumulated deficit, shareholders’ deficit,
and a working capital deficit of $114,818,245, $12,272,369 and $12,974,773, respectively, at September 30, 2020. Furthermore,
the Company failed to make required payments of principal and interest on certain of its convertible debt instruments and notes
payable (see Note 6).
On
June 19, 2020, Amazon notified Prime EFS by the Prime EFS Termination Notice that it does not intend to renew the In-Force Agreement
when that agreement expires. In the Prime EFS Termination Notice, Amazon stated that the In-Force Agreement expires on September
30, 2020. Additionally, on July 17, 2020, pursuant to the Shypdirect Termination Notice, Amazon notified Shypdirect that Amazon
had elected to terminate the Program Agreement between Amazon and Shypdirect effective as of November 14, 2020 (see Note 1). However,
on August 3, 2020, Amazon offered pursuant to the Aug. 3 Proposal to withdraw the Shypdirect Termination Notice and extend the
term of the Program Agreement to and including May 14, 2021, conditioned on Prime EFS executing, for nominal consideration, a
separation agreement with Amazon under which Prime EFS agrees to cooperate in an orderly transition of its Amazon last-mile delivery
business to other service providers, Prime EFS releases any and all claims it may have against Amazon, and Prime EFS covenants
not to sue Amazon. In a “Separation Agreement” dated August 23, 2020, by and among Amazon, Prime EFS and the Company,
Prime EFS and the Company agreed, for nominal consideration, that the Delivery Service Partner Program Agreement between Amazon
and Prime EFS would terminate effective September 30, 2020; that Prime EFS and the Company would cooperate in an orderly transition
of the last-mile delivery business from Prime EFS to other service providers; that Prime EFS would return any and all vehicles
leased from Element Fleet Corporation by October 7, 2020 in good repair; and that Prime EFS would dismiss the Amazon Arbitration
with prejudice. Under the same Separation Agreement, Prime EFS and the Company released any and all claims they had against Amazon
and covenant not to sue Amazon. In a “Settlement and Release Agreement” dated August 21, 2020, by and among Amazon,
Shypdirect, Prime EFS and the Company, Amazon withdrew the Shypdirect Termination Notice and extended the term of the Program
Agreement to and including May 14, 2021. In the Settlement and Release Agreement, Shypdirect released any and all claims it had
against Amazon, arising under the Program Agreement between Amazon and Shypdirect effective as of November 14, 2020, or otherwise.
TRANSPORTATION
AND LOGISTICS SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September
30, 2020
The
COVID-19 pandemic and resulting global disruptions have affected the Company’s businesses, as well as those of the Company’s
customers and their third-party suppliers and sellers. To serve the Company’s customers while also providing for the safety
of the Company’s employees and service providers, the Company has adapted numerous aspects of its logistics and transportation
processes. The Company continues to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and expect to continue to adapt its operations to address
federal, state, and local standards as well as to implement standards or processes that the Company determines to be in the best
interests of its employees, customers, and communities. The impact of the pandemic and actions taken in response to it had minimal
effects on the Company’s results of operations. The Company is experiencing higher net sales, which reflect increased demand,
particularly as more people are staying at home, for household staples and other essential products, partially offset by decreased
demand for discretionary consumer products, delayed procurement and shipment of non-priority products, and supply chain interruptions.
Other effects include increased fulfilment costs and cost of sales, primarily due to investments in employee hiring, pay, and
benefits, as well as costs to maintain safe workplaces, and higher shipping costs. The Company expects to continue to be affected
by possible procurement and shipping delays, supply chain interruptions, higher product demand in certain categories, lower product
demand in other categories, and increased fulfilment costs and cost of sales as a percentage of net sales through at least Q4
2020, although it is not possible to determine the duration and spread of the pandemic or such actions, the ultimate impact on
the Company’s results of operations during 2020, or whether other currently unanticipated consequences of the pandemic are
reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s results of operations.
It
is management’s opinion that these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. In April 2020, the Company’s subsidiaries,
Prime EFS and Shypdirect, entered into Paycheck Protection Program promissory notes with M&T Bank in the aggregate amount
of $3,446,152 (see Note 7). Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations,
become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital.
The
Company will continue to: (i) seek to replace its last-mile DSP Amazon business and supplement its mid-mile and long-haul Amazon
business with other, non-Amazon, customers; (ii) explore other strategic relationships; and (iii) identify potential acquisition
opportunities, while continuing to execute our restructuring plan, commenced in February 2020. The Company is seeking to raise
capital through additional debt and/or equity financings to fund its operations in the future. Although the Company has historically
raised capital from sales of common shares and from the issuance of convertible promissory notes and notes payable, there is no
assurance that it will be able to continue to do so. If the Company is unable to replace its Amazon business, to raise additional
capital or secure additional lending in the near future, management expects that the Company will need to curtail its operations.
These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets
or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements, in accordance with U.S. GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements and footnotes include the valuation of accounts receivable, the useful life of property and equipment, the
valuation of intangible assets, the valuation of right of use assets and related liabilities, assumptions used in assessing impairment
of long-lived assets, estimates of current and deferred income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances, the fair value of
non-cash equity transactions, the valuation of derivative liabilities, and the value of claims against the Company.
Fair
value of financial instruments
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,
which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 requires disclosures about the fair value of all financial
instruments, whether or not recognized, for financial statement purposes. Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments
are based on pertinent information available to the Company on September 30, 2020. Accordingly, the estimates presented in these
financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized on disposition of the financial instruments.
ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable
or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market
assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
(Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).
The
three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
|
●
|
Level
1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Level
2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or
similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs
derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Level
3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
|
The
Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value
on a recurring basis are as follows at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

The
Company accounts for its derivative financial instruments, consisting of certain conversion options embedded in our convertible
instruments and warrants, at fair value using level 3 inputs. The Company determined the fair value of these derivative liabilities
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, binomial lattice models, or other accepted valuation practices. When determining
the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities using these methods, the Company is required to use various estimates and
unobservable inputs, including, among other things, expected terms of the instruments, expected volatility of its stock price,
expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate. Changes in any of the assumptions related to the unobservable inputs identified
above may change the fair value of the instrument. Increases in expected term, anticipated volatility and expected dividends generally
result in increases in fair value, while decreases in the unobservable inputs generally result in decreases in fair value.
ASC
825-10 “Financial Instruments”, allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and
liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is
irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses
for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair
value option to any outstanding instruments.
The
carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
expenses approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s
convertible notes payable and promissory note obligations approximate fair value, as the terms of these instruments are consistent
with terms available in the market for instruments with similar risk.
Cash
and cash equivalents
For
purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of
three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2020 and December
31, 2019, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.
The
Company maintains its cash in bank and financial institution deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. There
were no balances in excess of FDIC insured levels as September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company has not experienced
any losses in such accounts through September 30, 2020.
Accounts
receivable
Accounts
receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for
estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when
there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances,
the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, a customer’s historical payment history, its current
credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection.
Property
and equipment
Property
are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of five to six years.
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life or lease term including scheduled renewal terms. Maintenance
and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation
are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company
examines the possibility of decreases in the value of these assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that
their recorded value may not be recoverable.

Intangible
assets
Intangible
assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization, computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life,
less any impairment charges.
Leases
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The updated guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets
and lease liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, the updated guidance requires that lessors separate lease and non-lease
components in a contract in accordance with the new revenue guidance in ASC 606. The updated guidance is effective for interim
and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.
On
January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before
the effective date whereby the Company elected to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain
leases and; (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, at the
inception of a contract the Company assessed whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is
based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether it obtains the right to substantially
all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of
the asset. The Company will allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone
price to determine the lease payments. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for
short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less.
Operating
lease ROU assets represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized
based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not
provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date
in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line
basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Impairment
of long-lived assets
In
accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an
impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount
of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.
Segment
reporting
The
Company uses “the management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers
the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions
and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s chief operating
decision maker is the chief executive officer of the Company, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating
resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. On May 1, 2019, the Company disposed of its Save On business segment
and the results of operations of Save On are included in discontinued operations. Accordingly, during the nine months ended September
30, 2020 and 2019, the Company believes that it operates in one operating segment related to deliveries for on-line retailers
in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other areas, and tractor trailer and box truck deliveries of product on the east coast
of the United States from one distributor’s warehouse to another warehouse or from a distributor’s warehouse to the
post office.
Derivative
financial instruments
The
Company has certain financial instruments that are embedded derivatives associated with capital raises. The Company evaluates
all of its financial instruments to determine if those contracts or any potential embedded components of those contracts qualify
as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815-10-05-4, Derivatives and Hedging and 815-40, Contracts
in Entity’s Own Equity. This accounting treatment requires that the carrying amount of any embedded derivatives be recorded
at fair value at issuance and marked-to-market at each balance sheet date. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability,
as is the case with the Company, the change in the fair value during the period is recorded as either other income or expense.
Upon conversion, exercise or repayment, the respective derivative liability is marked to fair value at the conversion, repayment
or exercise date and then the related fair value amount is reclassified to other income or expense as part of gain or loss on
extinguishment.

In
July 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic
480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features.
These amendments simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with down-round features. The amendments require companies
to disregard the down-round feature when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to its own stock, for purposes of determining
liability or equity classification. The guidance was adopted as of January 1, 2019 and the Company elected to record the effect
of this adoption retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature by means of a cumulative-effect
adjustment to the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of the beginning of 2019, the period which the amendment is effective.
In accordance with the guidance presented in the ASU 2017-11, the fair value of derivative liabilities associated with certain
convertible notes as of December 31, 2018 of $838,471 and the offsetting effect of reclassifying such debt to stock-settled debt
for which the Company recorded a put premium liability of $385,385 was reclassified by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment
to opening accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2019 in the amount of $453,086.
Revenue
recognition and cost of revenue
The
Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements
in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. This ASC is based on the principle that revenue is
recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the
entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASC also requires additional disclosure about the
nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer service orders, including significant
judgments.
For
the Company’s Prime EFS and Shypdirect business activities, the Company recognizes revenues and the related direct costs
of such revenue which generally include compensation and related benefits, gas costs, insurance, parking and tolls, truck rental
fees, and maintenance fees as of the date the freight is delivered which is when the performance obligation is satisfied. In accordance
with ASC Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis. Our payment terms are net seven days from acceptance of delivery.
The Company does not incur incremental costs obtaining service orders from its Prime EFS and Shypdirect customers, however, if
the Company did, because all of Prime EFS and Shypdirect customer contracts are less than a year in duration, any contract costs
incurred would be expensed rather than capitalized. The revenue that the Company recognizes arises from deliveries of packages
on behalf of the Company’s customers. Primarily, the Company’s performance obligations under these service orders
correspond to each delivery of packages that the Company makes under the service agreements. Control of the package transfers
to the recipient upon delivery. Once this occurs, the Company has satisfied its performance obligation and the Company recognizes
revenue.
Management
has reviewed the revenue disaggregation disclosure requirements pursuant to ASC 606 and determined that no further disaggregation
disclosure is required to be presented.
Basic
and diluted income (loss) per share
Pursuant
to ASC 260-10-45, basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted income (loss) per share
is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common
shares consist of common stock issuable for stock warrants (using the treasury stock method) and shares issuable for convertible
debt (using the as-if converted method). These common stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future.

Stock-based
compensation
Stock-based
compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation – Stock Compensation”,
which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in
exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee, director, or non-employee is required to perform the
services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee,
director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company
has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur as permitted under ASU 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 to modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The amendments are
effective for years beginning after December 15, 2019. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures
and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until the effective date. Most amendments should be applied retrospectively,
but certain amendments will be applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives
and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts
in an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models
required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument
with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required
for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for the
exception. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is
permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the standard on the condensed consolidated financial
statements.
There
are currently no other accounting standards that have been issued but not yet adopted that we believe will have a significant
impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.
NOTE
3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On
May 1, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Save On and Steven Yariv, whereby the Company returned all
of the stock of Save On to Steven Yariv in exchange for Mr. Yariv conveying 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company back
to the Company. In addition, the Company granted an aggregate of 80,000 options to certain employees of Save On. Mr. Yariv ceased
to be an officer or director of the Company effective with the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2019.

Pursuant
to ASC 205-20-45, the financial statement in which net income or loss of a business entity is reported shall report the results
of operations of the discontinued operation in the period in which a discontinued operation either has been disposed of or is
classified as held for sale. Accordingly, the Company reflects Save On as discontinued operations beginning in the second quarter
of 2019, the period that Save On was disposed of and retroactively for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements. The business of Save On are considered discontinued operations because: (a) the operations and cash flows
of Save On were eliminated from the Company’s operations; and (b) the Company has no interest in the divested operations.
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any remaining assets and liabilities classified as discontinued
operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
For
the Company’s Save On business activities, through the date of disposition on May 1, 2019, the Company recognized revenues
and the related direct costs of such revenue which included carrier fees and dispatch costs as of the date the freight was delivered
by the carrier which was when the performance obligation is satisfied. Customer payments received prior to delivery were recorded
as a deferred revenue liability and related carrier fees if paid prior to delivery were recorded as a deferred expense asset.
In accordance with ASC Topic 606, the Company recognized revenue on a gross basis. Our payment terms for corporate customers were
net 30 days from acceptance of delivery and individual customers generally were required to pay in advance. The Company did not
incur incremental costs obtaining service orders from its Save On customers, however, if the Company did, because all of the Save
On customer’s contracts were less than a year in duration, any contract costs incurred were expensed rather than capitalized.
The revenue that the Company recognized arose from service orders it received from its Save On customers. The Company’s
performance obligations under these service orders corresponded to each delivery of a vehicle that the Company made for its customer
under the service orders; as a result, each service order generally contained only one performance obligation based on the delivery
to be completed.
The
summarized operating result of discontinued operations included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations

NOTE
6 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES PAYABLE AND NOTES PAYABLE
Red
Diamond Partners LLC and RDW Capital, LLC
On
April 25, 2017, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with RedDiamond Partners LLC (“RedDiamond”)
pursuant to which the Company would issue to RedDiamond convertible promissory notes (the “RedDiamond Notes”)
in an aggregate principal amount of up to $355,000, which includes a purchase price of $350,000 and transaction costs of $5,000.
Pursuant to this securities purchase agreement, during 2017, the Company entered into three RedDiamond Notes in the aggregate
principal amount of $270,000 and the Company received $265,000 after giving effect to the original issue discount of $5,000. The
RedDiamond Notes matured during 2018. RedDiamond is not required to fund any additional tranches under the securities purchase
agreement. Through date of default, the RedDiamond Notes bore interest at a rate of 12% per annum and were convertible into shares
of the Company’s common stock at RedDiamond’s option at 65% of the lowest VWAP (as defined in the RedDiamond Notes)
for the ten trading days preceding the conversion. During 2018, the Company failed to make its required maturity date payments
of principal and interest on the RedDiamond Notes of $270,000. In accordance with these notes, the Company entered into default
in 2018, which increased the interest rate to 18.0% per annum. The RedDiamond Notes contain cross default provisions whereby a
default in any one note greater than $25,000 causes a default in all the notes, however, this provision is only effective if there
is a formal notice of default by the lender.
On
June 30, 2017, the Company issued RDW Capital, LLC a senior convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $240,000, for
an aggregate purchase price of $30,000. Through date of default, the principal due under the note accrued interest at a rate of
12% per annum. All principal and accrued interest under the note was due six months following the issue date of the note, and
was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, at a conversion price equal to fifty (50%) of the lowest volume-weighted
average price for the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion. The note includes anti-dilution protection, including
a down-round provision under which the conversion price could be affected by future equity offerings undertaken by the Company,
as well as customary events of default, including non-payment of the principal or accrued interest due on the note. Upon an event
of default, all obligations under the note become immediately due and payable and the Company is required to make certain payments
to the lender. On December 31, 2017 the Company failed to make its required maturity date payment of principal and interest. In
accordance with the note, the Company entered into default on January 3, 2018, which increased the interest rate to 24% per annum.
In
connection with the issuance of these convertible promissory notes to RedDiamond and RDW Capital, LLC, the Company determined
that the terms of these convertible promissory notes included a down-round provision under which the conversion price could be
affected by future equity offerings undertaken by the Company.
The
Company evaluated these convertible promissory note transactions in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Through
December 31, 2018, the Company determined that the conversion feature of the convertible promissory notes was not afforded the
exemption for conventional convertible instruments due to their respective variable conversion rate and price protection provisions.
Accordingly, through December 31, 2018, under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging –
Contracts in an Entity’s Own Stock”, the embedded conversion option contained in the convertible instruments were
accounted for as derivative liabilities at the date of issuance and shall be adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting
date. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities
from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments
with Down Round Features, and the Company elected to record the effect of this adoption retrospectively to outstanding financial
instruments with a down-round feature by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the consolidated balance sheet as of the beginning
of 2019, the period which the amendment is effective (See Note 2 - Derivative financial instruments and summary of derivative
liabilities below).
On
April 9, 2019, the Company entered into agreements (the “RedDiamond Amendments”) with RedDiamond and RDW Capital,
LLC, the holders of these convertible notes representing an aggregate principal amount of $510,000, and agreed with such holders
to:
|
●
|
extend
the maturity date of the notes to December 31, 2020;
|
|
●
|
remove
all convertibility features of the notes; and
|
|
●
|
repay
not less than half of the obligations then outstanding pursuant to the notes if the Company completes an offering of equity
or equity linked securities (including warrants, convertible preferred stock, convertible debentures or convertible promissory
note) which results in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $4,000,000, using a portion of the proceeds thereof.
|
In
connection with this debt modification, on April 9, 2019, the Company recorded a gain on debt extinguishment of $432,589, which
consists of the removal of debt put premium of $385,385 since the debt is no longer convertible, and $47,204 related to the reversal
of default interest payable.

Pursuant
to the RedDiamond Amendments, the conversion provisions contained in the convertible promissory notes held by RedDiamond and RDW
Capital, LLC were suspended and ceased to be exercisable beginning as of April 9, 2019. However, under the RedDiamond Amendments,
the conversion provisions contained in the convertible promissory notes held by Red Diamond and RDW Capital, LLC were subject
to reinstatement upon the occurrence of an event of default. The parties agreed that it would be considered an event of default
under the convertible promissory notes if the Company consummated any new offering of equity or equity linked securities containing
a conversion or exercise price which is variable based upon the market trading price of the Company’s securities. On August
30, 2019, the Company entered into a new offering of equity or equity linked securities containing a conversion or exercise price
which is variable based upon the market trading price of the Company’s securities. Accordingly, the conversion terms were
reinstated and the Company recorded a put premium of $385,385 and recorded interest expense of $385,385.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued 96,661,102 shares of its common stock upon the conversion of debt
of $510,000 and accrued interest of $158,141. Upon conversion, the Company reclassified put premium of $385,385 to paid-in capital.
The
aggregate principal amounts due as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 amounted to $0 and $895,385, which included a put
premium of $0 and $385,385, and principal balance of $0 and $510,000, and was included in convertible notes payable, a current
liability, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, respectively.
Bellridge
Capital, LLC
On
June 18, 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Bellridge Purchase Agreement”),
whereby it issued to Bellridge Capital, LLC (“Bellridge”) a senior secured convertible note in the aggregate
principal amount of $2,497,503 (the “Bellridge Note”), for an aggregate purchase price of $1,665,000, net of
an original issue discount of $832,503. In addition, the Company paid issue costs of $177,212. The original issue discount and
issue costs were recorded as a debt discount to be amortized over the term of the Bellridge Note. The principal due under the
Bellridge Note initially accrued interest at a rate of 10% per annum. Principal and interest payments of $232,940 were payable
monthly beginning on December 18, 2018 and were due monthly over the term of the Bellridge Note in cash or common stock of the
Company, at Bellridge’s discretion.
In
connection with the Bellridge Purchase Agreement, Bellridge was issued a warrant, with a term of two years, to purchase up to
4.75% of the fully-diluted outstanding common stock of the Company, for an aggregate purchase price of $100 (the “First
Bellridge Warrant”). Additionally, the placement agent for the Bellridge Note was issued a warrant, with a term of two
years, to purchase up to 4.75% of the fully-diluted outstanding common stock of the Company, for an aggregate purchase price of
$100 (the “Bellridge Note PA Warrant”).
In
August 2018, the Company defaulted on the Bellridge Note due to (i) default on the payment of monthly interest payments due, (ii)
default caused by the late filing of the Company’s reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 2018 and September
30, 2018 and (iii) default due to failure to file a registration statement. Upon an event of default, all principal, accrued interest,
and liquidated damages and penalties were due upon request of Bellridge at 125% of such amounts.
On
December 27, 2018, Bellridge waived any and all defaults in existence on the Bellridge Note and the Company agreed to issue a
warrant that is convertible into 2% of the issued and outstanding shares existing at the time the Company files a registration
statement or makes an application to up list to a national stock exchange (the “Second Bellridge Warrant” and
together with the First Bellridge Warrant and the Bellridge Note PA Warrant, the “Bellridge Warrants”). Pursuant
to the Second Bellridge Warrant, at any time on or before the date that the Company files a registration statement on Form S-l
or applies for up-listing to a National Exchange (as defined in the Second Bellridge Warrant), and on or prior to the close of
business on the early of the first year anniversary of the issuance of December 27, 2018, Bellridge could have chosen to subscribe
for and purchase from the Company up to 2% in shares of common stock for an aggregate exercise price of $100. Additionally, the
principal interest amount due under the Bellridge Note was modified with a monthly payment of principal and interest due beginning
on January 18, 2019 of $156,219 with all remaining principal and interest amounts on the Bellridge Note due on December 18, 2019.
This modification was not considered a debt extinguishment.
On
April 9, 2019, the Company entered into a new agreement with Bellridge that modified the Bellridge Note and cancelled these warrants
(see below).
Through
April 9, 2019, all principal and accrued interest under the Bellridge Note was convertible into shares of the Company’s
common stock, at a conversion price equal to the lower of $1.50 and 65% of the lowest traded price during the fifteen trading
days immediately prior to the conversion date. The Bellridge Note included anti-dilution protection, as well as customary events
of default, including, but not limited to, non-payment of the principal or accrued interest due on the Bellridge Note and cross
default provisions on other Company obligations or contracts. Upon an event of default, all obligations under the Bellridge Note
become immediately due and payable and the Company is required to make certain payments to Bellridge.

TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September

Bellridge
was granted a right of first refusal on future financing transactions of the Company while the Bellridge Note remains outstanding,
plus an additional three months thereafter. In connection with the issuance of the Bellridge Note, the Company entered into a
security agreement with Bellridge pursuant to which the Company agreed that obligations under the Bellridge Note and related documents
will be secured by all of the assets of the Company. In addition, all of the Company’s subsidiaries are guarantors of the
Company’s obligations to Bellridge pursuant to the Bellridge Note and have granted a similar security interest over substantially
all of their assets. A portion of the proceeds of the Bellridge Note were used to acquire 100% of the membership interests of
Prime EFS.
During
the term of the Bellridge Note, in the event that the Company consummates any public or private offering or other financing or
capital raising transaction of any kind (each a “Bellridge Note Subsequent Offering”), in which the Company
receives, in one or more contemporaneous transactions, gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000, at any time upon ten (10) days written
notice to the holder of the Bellridge Note, but subject to the Bellridge Note holder’s conversion rights set forth in the
Bellridge Purchase Agreement, then the Company must use 20% of the gross proceeds of the Bellridge Note Subsequent Offering and
must make payment to the Bellridge Note holder of an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the sum of (x) the then outstanding
principal amount of the Bellridge Note and (y) all accrued but unpaid interest, multiplied by (ii) (x) 110%, if the Prepayment
Date (as defined in the Bellridge Note) is within 90 days of the date hereof the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement),
or (y) 125%, if the Prepayment Date is after the 90th day following the Closing Date, to which calculated amount the Company must
add all other amounts owed pursuant to the Bellridge Note, including, but not limited to, all late fees and liquidated damages.
In
connection with the Bellridge Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement which, among other
things, required the Company to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than 120 days
after June 18, 2018. The Company failed to file such registration statement. Accordingly, in addition to any other rights the
holders may have under the Bellridge Purchase Agreement or under applicable law, on the default date and on each monthly anniversary
of each such default date (if the applicable event is not cured by such date) until the ninetieth day from such default date,
the Company will pay to each holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product
of one percent (1%) multiplied by the aggregate subscription amount paid by the holder pursuant to the Bellridge Purchase Agreement.
Subsequent to the ninetieth day from such default date, the one percent (1%) penalty increases to two percent (2%), with an aggregate
cap of twenty percent (20%) per annum. If the Company fails to pay any of these partial liquidated damages in full within seven
days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum to the holder, accruing daily from
the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. On December
27, 2018, Bellridge waived any and all defaults.
In
connection with the Bellridge Purchase Agreement, the Company paid a placement agent $120,000 in cash which is included in issue
costs previously discussed above and this placement agent was issued the Bellridge Note PA Warrant, with a term of two years,
to purchase up to 4.75% of the fully-diluted outstanding common stock of the Company, for an aggregate purchase price of $100.
On April 9, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with this placement agent that cancelled the Bellridge Note PA Warrant.
In
connection with the issuance of the Bellridge Note and the Bellridge Warrants, the Company determined that the Bellridge Note
and the Bellridge Warrants contains terms that are not fixed monetary amounts at inception. Accordingly, under the provisions
of ASC Topic No. 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s Own Stock”, the embedded
conversion option contained in the Bellridge Note and the Bellridge Warrants were accounted for as derivative liabilities at the
date of issuance and shall be adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting date. The fair value of this embedded
conversion option derivative and the Bellridge Warrants were determined using the Binomial valuation model and Monte-Carlo simulation
model, respectively.
Convertible
debt modifications and warrant cancellations
On
April 9, 2019 (the “Bellridge Modification Date”), the Company entered into an agreement with Bellridge (the
“Bellridge Modification Agreement”) that modified its existing obligations to Bellridge as follows:
|
●
|
the
overall principal amount of the Bellridge Note was reduced from the original principal amount of $2,497,502 (principal amount
was $2,223,918 at April 9, 2019) to $1,800,000, in exchange for the issuance to Bellridge of 800,000 shares of restricted
common stock, to be delivered to Bellridge, either in whole or in part, at such time or times as when the beneficial ownership
of such shares by Bellridge would not result in Bellridge’s beneficial ownership of more than the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation and such shares are to be issued within three business days of the date the Bellridge has represented to the Company
that it is below the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Such issuances will occur in increments of no fewer than the lesser
of (i) 50,000 shares and (ii) the balance of the 800,000 shares owed. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” is
4.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance
of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Bellridge Modification Agreement. In connection with these shares, the
Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $10,248,000 in April 2019. As of August 19, 2019, 100,000 of these shares
have been issued and on August 16, 2019, the Company issued 700,000 shares of Series B Preferred shares upon settlement of
700,000 shares of issuable common stock;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
maturity date of the Bellridge Note was extended to August 31, 2020;
|
|
|
|
|
●

the
interest rate was reduced from 10% to 5% per annum;

if
the Company completes an offering of equity or equity linked securities (including warrants, convertible preferred stock,
convertible debentures or convertible promissory notes) which results in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $4,000,000,
then the Company will use a portion of the proceeds thereof to repay not less than half of the obligations then outstanding
pursuant to the Bellridge Note;
|

the
convertibility of the Bellridge Note was amended such that the Bellridge Note is only convertible at a conversion price to
be mutually agreed upon between the Company and the holder. In July 2020, the parties agreed to a fixed conversion price of
$0.02 per share, although final documents are pending.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
registration rights previously granted to Bellridge were eliminated; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
The
First Bellridge Warrant and the Second Bellridge Warrant were cancelled and of no further force or effect as of the Bellridge
Modification Date. In exchange, the Company issued Bellridge 360,000 shares of restricted common stock.
|
In
addition, on the Bellridge Modification Date, warrant holders holding warrants exercisable into an aggregate of 4.75% of the outstanding
common stock of the Company all agreed to exercise such warrants for an aggregate of 240,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
In
an agreement dated August 3, 2020, Bellridge and the Company resolved many of the disputes between them. Among other things, Bellridge
and the Company agreed upon the balance of all indebtedness owed to Bellridge as of August 3, 2020 ($2,150,000), a new maturity
date on the indebtedness (April 30, 2021), and a price of $0.02 for the conversion of all Bellridge indebtedness into shares of
Company common stock. In the agreement, Bellridge also agrees to release its claims against the Company and its senior management
in a definitive settlement agreement. However, the August 3 agreement did not contain a release of claims by either party.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued 107,500,001 shares of its common stock upon the conversion of debt
of $1,813,402, accrued interest of $70,671 and any amounts due. In connection with the issuance of these shares, the Company recorded
a loss on debt extinguishment of $512,366 which is associated with the fair market value of the excess shares issued upon conversion
of the principal balances converted at the conversion price.
At
September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, convertible notes payable related to this convertible debt amounted to $0 and $1,813,402,
which consists of $0 and $1,813,402 of principal balance due and is net of unamortized debt discount of $0, respectively.
August
30, 2019 convertible debt and related warrants
On
August 30, 2019, the Company closed Securities Purchase Agreements (the “August 2019 Purchase Agreement”) with
accredited investors. Pursuant to the terms of the August 2019 Purchase Agreement, the Company issued and sold to investors convertible
promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,469,840 (the “August 2019 Notes”), and warrants to
purchase up to 987,940 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “August 2019 Warrants”). The Company
received net proceeds of $295,534, which is net of a 10% original issue discount of $246,984 and origination fees of $61,101,
and is net of $1,643,367 for the repayment of notes payable, and net of $222,854 related to the conversion of existing notes payable
already outstanding to these lenders into the August 2019 Notes.
The
August 2019 Notes initially bear interest at 10% per annum and become due and payable on November 30, 2020. During the existence
of an Event of Default (as defined in the August 2019 Notes), interest accrues at the lesser of (i) the rate of 18% per annum,
or (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law. Commencing on the four-month anniversary of the August 2019 Notes, monthly payments
of interest and monthly principal payments, based on a 12-month amortization schedule (each, an “August 2019 Amortization
Payment”), are due and payable, until November 30, 2020 at which time all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid
interest and all other amounts due and payable under the August 2019 Notes will be immediately due and payable. The Company’s
August 2019 Note Amortization Payments due on December 30, 2019 were paid on January 6, 2020 and the Company did not receive any
default notice for this late payment. The August 2019 Note Amortization Payments are made in cash unless the investor requests
payment in the Company’s common stock in lieu of a cash payment (an “August 2019 Note Stock Payment”).
If the investor requests an August 2019 Note Stock Payment, the number of shares of common stock issued is based on the amount
of the applicable August 2019 Amortization Payment divided by 80% of the lowest VWAP (as defined in the August 2019 Notes) during
the five Trading Day (as defined in the August 2019 Notes) period prior to the due date of the August 2019 Amortization Payment.
The
August 2019 Notes may be prepaid, provided that certain Equity Conditions, as defined in the August 2019 Notes, have been met
(or any such failure to meet the Equity Conditions has been waived): (i) from August 30, 2019 until and through November 30, 2019
at an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate of the outstanding principal balance of the August 2019 Notes and accrued and unpaid
interest, and (ii) after August 30, 2019 at an amount equal to 115% of the aggregate of the outstanding principal balance of the
August 2019 Notes and accrued and unpaid interest. In the event that the Company closes a registered public offering of securities
for its own account (a “Public Offering”), the holders may elect to: (x) have their principal and accrued interest
prepaid directly from the proceeds of the Public Offering at the prices set forth above, (y) exchange their August 2019 Notes
at the closing of the Public Offering for the securities being issued in the Public Offering at the Public Offering prices based
upon the outstanding principal, accrued interest and other charges, or (z) continue to hold their August 2019 Notes. Except for
a Public Offering and August 2019 Amortization Payments, in order to prepay the August 2019 Notes, the Company must provide at
least 20 days’ prior written notice to the holders, during which time the holders may convert their August 2019 Notes in
whole or in part at the then-applicable conversion price. For avoidance of doubt, the August 2019 Amortization Payments are prepayments
and are subject to prepayment penalties equal to 115% of the August 2019 Amortization Payment. In the event the Company consummates
a Public Offering while the August 2019 Notes are outstanding, then 25% of the net proceeds of such offering will, within two
business days of the closing of such Public Offering, be applied to reduce the outstanding obligations pursuant to the August
2019 Notes.

From

whether it has been cured or remains ongoing, the August 2019 Notes were initially convertible at the lower of: (i) $3.50 and
(ii) 70% of the second lowest closing price of the common stock as reported on the Trading Market (as defined in the August 2019
Notes) during the 20 consecutive Trading Day (as defined in the August 2019 Notes) period ending and including the Trading Day
(as defined in the August 2019 Notes) immediately preceding the delivery or deemed delivery of the applicable notice of conversion.
All such Conversion Price determinations are to be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination,
reclassification or similar transaction that proportionately decreases or increases the common stock.
The
August 2019 Notes and related August 2019 Warrants include down-round provisions under which the August 2019 Note conversion price
and August 2019 Warrant exercise price could be affected, on a full-ratchet basis, by future equity offerings undertaken by the
Company. On September 6, 2019, the Company sold shares of its common stock at $2.50 per share and accordingly, the conversion
price and warrant down-round provisions were triggered. As a result, the conversion price of the August 2019 Notes was reduced
to $2.50 per share and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants was increased to 1,383,116 and the exercise
price was lowered to $2.50. On January 7, 2020, the Company issued new convertible debt with an initial conversion price of $0.40
per share and warrants exercisable at $0.40 per share and accordingly, the conversion price and warrant down-round provisions
were triggered. As a result, the conversion price of August 2019 Notes was reduced to $0.40 per share, and the number of shares
issuable upon exercise of the warrants was increased to 8,644,474 and the exercise price was lowered to $0.40. As a result of
the January 7, 2020 trigger of the down-round provisions, on January 7, 2020, the Company recorded a deemed dividend of $17,836,244
which represents the fair value transferred to the warrant holders from the down round feature being triggered. The Company calculated
the difference between the warrants fair value on January 7, 2020, the date the down- round feature was triggered using the current
exercise price and the new exercise price and the new number shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The deemed dividend
was recorded as an increase in accumulated deficit and increase in paid-in capital and increased the net loss to common shareholders
by the same amount. As discussed in summary of derivative liabilities below, as of January 30, 2020, the August 2019 Warrants
are treated as derivative liabilities. Subsequent to January 7, 2020, additional down-round protection was triggered. As of September
30, 2020, the conversion price on the August 2019 Notes was lowered to $0.006 per share, the exercise price of the August 2019
Warrants was lowered to $0.006 per share, and the number shares issuable upon exercise of the August 2019 Warrants was increased.
In
connection with the issuance of the August 2019 Notes, the Company determined that various terms of the August 2019 Notes, including
the August 2019 Note Stock Payment terms discussed above, caused derivative treatment of the embedded conversion options. On August
30, 2019, the initial measurement date, the fair values of the embedded conversion option derivative of $1,953,968 was recorded
as derivative liabilities and was allocated as a debt discount up to the net proceeds of the August 2019 Notes of $936,645, with
the remainder of $1,017,323 charged to current period operations as initial derivative expense.
On
January 30, 2020, due to the default of the January 2020 August 2019 Notes Amortization Payment, the August 2019 Notes were deemed
in default. Accordingly, the outstanding principal balance on date of default increased by 30% which amounted to $723,985, default
interest accrues at 18%, and the default conversion terms apply.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company repaid principal of $257,139, settled $128,674 of debt, and the Company issued
293,677,788 shares of its common stock upon the conversion of principal and default interest of $2,118,311, accrued interest of
$48,685 and fees of $1,000. Additionally, accrued interest payable of $84,416 was reclassified to principal balance. During the
three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued 39,885,602 shares of its common stock upon the conversion of principal
and default interest of $284,249, accrued interest of $8,450 and fees of $900.
Additionally,
on July 20, 2020 and July 22, 2020, the Company entered Exchange Agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with
two Investors to exchange outstanding August 2019 Notes and August 2019 Warrants for a newly created series of preferred stock
designated the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D”) (See Note 8). Pursuant to the Exchange
Agreements, the Investors exchanged August 2019 Notes with an aggregate remaining principal amount outstanding of $500,184, accrued
interest payable of $85,828, and Warrants to purchase 423,159,293 shares of Common Stock for 522,726 shares of Series D (the “Exchange”).
In connection with the issuance of these shares, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $239,678 which is associated
with the fair market value of the excess shares issued upon conversion of the principal balances and accrued interest converted
at the conversion price.

At
September 30, 2020, convertible notes payable related to August 30, 2019 convertible debt amounted to $22,064, which consists
of $22,064 of principal balance and default interest due. At December 31, 2019, convertible notes payable related to August 30,
2019 convertible debt amounted to $658,623, which consists of $2,469,840 of principal balance due and is net of unamortized debt

October
3, 2019 convertible debt and related warrants
On
October 3, 2019, the Company issued and sold to an investor a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $166,667
(the “October 3 Note”), and warrants to purchase up to 66,401 shares of the Company’s common stock (the
“October 3 Warrant”). The Company received net proceeds of $150,000, which is net of a 10% original issue discount
of $16,667. The October 3 Note initially bore interest at 10% per annum and becomes due and payable on January 3, 2021. During
the existence of an Event of Default, interest accrues at the lesser of (i) the rate of 18% per annum, or (ii) the maximum amount
permitted by law. Commencing on the four month anniversary of the October 3 Note, monthly payments of interest and monthly principal
payments, based on a 12 month amortization schedule (each, an “October 3 Note Amortization Payment”), are due
and payable, until the Maturity Date, at which time all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts
due and payable under the October 3 Notes will be immediately due and payable. The October 3 Note Amortization Payments are made
in cash unless the investor payment in the Company’s common stock in lieu of a cash payment (each, an “October
3 Note Stock Payment”). If the investor requests an October 3 Note Stock Payment, the number of shares of common stock
issued is based on the amount of the applicable October 3 Note Amortization Payment divided by 80% of the lowest VWAP (as defined
in the October 3 Note) during the five Trading Day (as defined in the October 3 Note) period prior to the due date of the October
3 Note Amortization Payment.
The
October 3 Note may be prepaid, provided that certain Equity Conditions, as defined in the October 3 Note, have been met (or any
such failure to meet the Equity Conditions has been waived): (i) from October 3, 2019 until and through January 3, 2020, at an
amount equal to 105% of the aggregate of the outstanding principal balance of the October 3 Note and accrued and unpaid interest,
and (ii) after January 3, 2020, at an amount equal to 115% of the aggregate of the outstanding principal balance of the October
3 Note and accrued and unpaid interest. In the event that the Company closes a Public Offering, the holder may elect to: (x) have
its principal and accrued interest prepaid directly from the proceeds of the Public Offering at the prices set forth above, or
(y) exchange its October 3 Note at the closing of the Public Offering for the securities being issued in the Public Offering at
the Public Offering prices based upon the outstanding principal, accrued interest and other charges, or (z) continue to hold the
October 3 Note. Except for a Public Offering and October 3 Note Amortization Payments, in order to prepay the October 3 Note,
the Company must provide at least 20 days’ prior written notice to the holder, during which time the holder may convert
the October 3 Note in whole or in part at the conversion price. For avoidance of doubt, the October 3 Note Amortization Payments
are prepayments and are subject to prepayment penalties equal to 115% of the October 3 Note Amortization Payment. In the event
the Company consummates a Public Offering while the October 3 Note is outstanding, then 25% of the net proceeds of such offering
will, within two business days of the closing of such Public Offering, be applied to reduce the outstanding obligations pursuant
to the October 3 Note.
On
the original issue date until the October 3 Note is no longer outstanding, the October 3 Note is convertible, in whole or in part,
at any time, and from time to time, into shares of common stock at the option of the investor. The “Conversion Price”
in effect on any Conversion Date means, as of any Conversion Date (as defined in the October 3 Note) or other date of determination,
the lower of: (i) $2.51 per share and (ii) the price per share paid by investors in the contemplated equity offering of up to
$1,000,000. If an Event of Default (as defined in the October 3 Note) has occurred, regardless of whether such Event of Default
(as defined in the October 3 Note) has been cured or remains ongoing, the October 3 Note are convertible at the lower of: (i)
$2.51 and (ii) 70% of the second lowest closing price of the common stock as reported on the Trading Market (as defined in the
October 3 Note) during the 20 consecutive Trading Day (as defined in the October 3 Note) period ending and including the Trading
Day (as defined in the October 3 Note) immediately preceding the delivery or deemed delivery of the applicable Notice of Conversion.
All such Conversion Price determinations are to be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination,
reclassification or similar transaction that proportionately decreases or increases the common stock.
The
October 3 Warrant is exercisable at any time on or after the date of the issuance and entitles the investor to purchase shares
of the Company’s common stock for a period of five years from the initial date the October 3 Warrant became exercisable.
Under the terms of the October 3 Warrant, the investor is entitled to exercise the October 3 Warrant to purchase up to 66,401
shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $3.51, subject to adjustment as detailed in the October
3 Warrant. In October 2019 the Company calculated the relative fair value of the October 3 Warrant in the amount of $82,771 which
was added to debt discount and is being amortized over the term of the notes.

The
October 3 Note and related October 3 Warrant include a down-round provision under which the October 3 Note conversion price and
warrant exercise price could be affected, on a full-ratchet basis, by future equity offerings undertaken by the Company. Subsequent
to October 3, 2019, the Company issued convertible debt with a conversion price of $2.50 per share and accordingly, the convertible
debt and warrant down-round provisions were triggered. As a result, the conversion price and the exercise price were lowered to
$2.50 and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants was increased to 66,667. On January 7, 2020, the Company
issued new convertible debt with an initial conversion price of $0.40 per share and warrants exercisable at $0.40 per share and
accordingly, the conversion price and warrant down-round provisions were triggered. As a result, the conversion price of the October
3 Note was reduced to $0.40 per share, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants was increased to 416,669
and the exercise price was lowered to $0.40. As a result of the January 7, 2020 trigger of the down-round provisions, on January
7, 2020, the Company recorded a deemed dividend of $859,768 which represents the fair value transferred to the October 3 Warrant
holder from the down-round feature being triggered. The Company calculated the difference between the October 3 Warrant’s
fair value on January 7, 2020, the date the down-round feature was triggered using the current exercise price and the new exercise
price and the new number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The deemed dividend was recorded as an increase in
accumulated deficit and increase in paid-in capital and increased the net loss to common shareholders by the same amount. As discussed
in summary of derivative liabilities below, as of January 30, 2020, the October 3 Warrant is treated as derivative liabilities.
Subsequent to January 7, 2020, additional down-round protection was triggered. As of September 30, 2020, the conversion price
on the October 3 Note was lowered to $0.006 per share, the exercise price of the October 3 Warrant was lowered to $0.006 per share,
and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the October 3 Warrant was increased.
In
connection with the issuance of the October 3 Note, the Company determined that various terms of the October 3 Note, including
the October 3 Note Stock Payment terms discussed above, caused derivative treatment of the embedded conversion options. On October
3, 2019, the initial measurement date, the fair values of the embedded conversion option derivative of $123,795 was recorded as
derivative liabilities and was allocated as a debt discount up to the net proceeds of the October 3 Note of $67,229, with the
remainder of $56,566 charged to current period operations as initial derivative expense.
In
February 2020, due to the default of the February 2020 October 3 Note Amortization Payment, the October 3 Note was deemed in default.
Accordingly, the outstanding principal balance on date of default increased by 30% which amounted to $50,000, default interest
accrues at 18%, and the default conversion terms apply.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued 27,525,109 shares of its common stock upon the conversion of principal
and default interest of $216,667, accrued interest of $11,774, fees of $5,000, and additional interest expense of $2,180.
At
September 30, 2020, convertible notes payable related to the October 3, 2019 convertible debt amounted to $0. At December 31,
2019, convertible notes payable related to the October 3, 2019 convertible debt amounted to $33,334, which consists of $166,667
of principal balance due and is net of unamortized debt discount of $133,333.
Fall
2019 notes
On
October 14, 2019 and November 7, 2019, we entered into convertible note agreements with an accredited investor. Pursuant to the
terms of these convertible note agreements, we issued and sold to an investor convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal
amount of $500,000 (the “Fall 2019 Notes”) and we received cash proceeds of $500,000. The Fall 2019 Notes initially
bore interest at 10% per annum. The October 14, 2019 convertible promissory note of $300,000 becomes due and payable on October
14, 2020 and the November 7, 2019 convertible promissory note of $200,000 becomes due and payable on November 7, 2020. Commencing
on the respective seven-month anniversaries of issuance, and continuing each month thereafter through the respective maturity
dates, payments of principal and interest will be made in accordance with the respective amortization schedule. During the existence
of an Event of Default (as defined in the Fall 2019 Notes), interest accrues at the lesser of (i) the rate of 18% per annum, or
(ii) the maximum amount permitted by law. Commencing on the seventh month anniversary of each respective note, monthly payments
of interest and monthly principal payments are due and payable, until the respective maturity dates, at which time all outstanding
principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due and payable under such Fall 2019 Note will be immediately due
and payable.
The
Company has the right to prepay in cash all or a portion of the outstanding principal due under the Fall 2019 Notes. The Company
must provide the holders with written notice at least twenty business days prior to the date on which the Company will deliver
payment of accrued interest and all or a portion, in $100,000 increments, of the principal.
Each
Fall 2019 Note is convertible, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time, into shares of common stock at the option
of the investor. The “Conversion Price” in effect on any Conversion Date means, as of any date of determination, the
lower of: (i) $2.50 per share and (ii) the twenty day per share closing trading price of the Company’s common stock during
the twenty trading days that close with the last previous trading day ended three days prior to the date of exercise. The Fall
2019 Notes do not contain anti-dilutive provisions. In May 2020 and June 2020, due to the default of a May 2020 and June 2020
Fall 2019 Note Amortization Payments, the Fall 2019 Notes were deemed in default. Accordingly, default interest accrues at 18%
and the Fall 2019 Notes became due on the respective dates of default. As of September 30, 2020, no repayments have been made
on the Fall 2019 Notes.

the existence of an Event of Default (as defined in the applicable Q1/Q2 2020 Note), which includes, amongst other events, any
default in the payment of principal and interest payments (including Q1/Q2 2020 Note Amortization Payments) under any Q1/Q2 2020
Note or any other indebtedness, interest accrues at the lesser of (i) the rate of 18% per annum, or (ii) the maximum amount permitted

In
connection with the issuance of the January 2020 warrants, the Company calculated the relative fair value of these warrants in
the amount of $262,872 which was added to debt discount and paid-in capital, and shall be amortized over the term of the Q1/Q2
2020 Notes. In connection with the issuance of the notes in January, February, March and April 2020 and the issuance of the warrants
in February, March and April 2020, the Company determined that various terms of these Q1/Q2 2020 Notes and Q1/Q2 2020 Warrants,
including the default provisions in the Q1/Q2 2020 Notes discussed above, caused derivative treatment of the embedded conversion
options and warrants. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, on the initial measurement dates, the fair values of the
embedded conversion option and warrant derivatives of $8,817,568 was recorded as derivative liabilities and was allocated as a
debt discount up to the net proceeds of the Q1/Q2 2020 Notes of $1,287,474, with the remainder of $7,530,095 charged to current
period operations as initial derivative expense.
The
Q1/Q2 2020 Notes include a down-round provision under which the Q1/Q2 2020 Note conversion price could be affected, by future
equity offerings undertaken by the Company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, down-provisions were triggered. As
of September 30, 2020, the conversion price of the Q1/Q2 Notes was lowered to $0.006 per share.
Due
to the default of amortization payments due on our August 2019 Notes and other notes as discussed above, the Q1/Q2 2020 Notes
were deemed in default. Accordingly, the outstanding principal balance on date of default increased by 30% which amounted to approximately
$620,400, default interest accrues at 18%, and the default conversion terms apply.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued 291,796,804 shares of its common stock upon the conversion of principal
and default interest of $1,887,000 and accrued interest of $3,731.
At

20, 2020 convertible debt
On
April 20, 2020, the Company issued and sold to an investor a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $456,500 (the
“April 20 Note”). The April 20 Note contained a 10% original issue discount amounting to $41,500 for a purchase
price of $415,000. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the April 20 Note because the investor converted previous notes
and accrued interest due to him in the amount of $195,000 into the April 20 Note. In connection with the conversion of notes payable
to the April 20 Note, the Company recorded a loss from debt extinguishment of $220,000. The April 20 Note initially bore interest
at 6% per annum and becomes due and payable on April 20, 2022 (the “April 20 Note Maturity Date”). During the
existence of an Event of Default (as defined in the April 20 Note), which includes, amongst other events, any default in the payment
of principal and interest payment (including any April 20 Note Amortization Payments) under any note or any other indebtedness,
interest accrues at the lesser of (i) the rate of 18% per annum, or (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law. Commencing on the
thirteenth month anniversary of the April 20 Note, monthly payments of interest and monthly principal payments, based on a 12
month amortization schedule, will be due and payable (each, an “April 20 Note Amortization Payment”), until
the April 20 Note Maturity Date, at which time all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due
and payable under the April 20 Note will be immediately due and payable. The April 20 Note Amortization Payments will be made
in cash unless the investor payment in the Company’s common stock in lieu of a cash payment (each, an “April 20
Note Stock Payment”). If the investor requests an April 20 Note Stock Payment, the number of shares of common stock
issued will be based on the amount of the applicable April 20 Note Amortization Payment divided by 80% of the lowest VWAP (as
defined in the April 20 Note) during the five Trading Day (as defined in the April 20 Note) period prior to the due date of the
April 20 Note Amortization Payment.
The
April 20 Note may be prepaid, provided that certain Equity Conditions, as defined in the April 20 Note, have been met (or any
such failure to meet the Equity Conditions has been waived): (i) from April 20, 2020 until and through July 20, 2020 at an amount
equal to 105% of the aggregate of the outstanding principal balance of the April 20 Note and accrued and unpaid interest, and
(ii) after July 20, 2020 at an amount equal to 115% of the aggregate of the outstanding principal balance of the April 20 Note
and accrued and unpaid interest. In the event that the Company closes a Public Offering, the holder may elect to: (x) have its
principal and accrued interest prepaid directly from the proceeds of the Public Offering at the prices set forth above, (y) exchange
its April 20 Note at the closing of the Public Offering for the securities being issued in the Public Offering at the Public Offering
prices based upon the outstanding principal, accrued interest and other charges, or (z) continue to hold the April 20 Note. Except
for a Public Offering and April 20 Note Amortization Payments, in order to prepay the April 20 Note, the Company must provide
at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the holder, during which time the holder may convert the April 20 Note in whole
or in part at the then applicable conversion price. For avoidance of doubt, the April 20 Note Amortization Payments will be prepayments
and are subject to prepayment penalties equal to 115% of the April 20 Note Amortization Payment. In the event the Company consummates
a Public Offering while the April 20 Note is outstanding, then 25% of the net proceeds of such offering will, within two business
days of the closing of such Public Offering, be applied to reduce the outstanding obligations pursuant to the April 20 Note.
Until
the April 20 Note is no longer outstanding, it is convertible, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time, into shares
of common stock at the option of the investor. The “Conversion Price” in effect on any Conversion Date (as defined
in the April 20 Note) means, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination, the lower of: (i) $0.40 and (ii) 70% of
the second lowest closing price of the common stock as reported on the Trading Market (as defined in the April 20 Note) during
the 20 consecutive Trading Day (as defined in the April 20 Note) period ending and including the Trading Day immediately preceding
the delivery or deemed delivery of the applicable notice of conversion. All such Conversion Price determinations are to be appropriately
adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction that proportionately
decreases or increases the common stock.

In
connection with the issuance of the April 20 Note, the Company determined that various terms of the April 20 Note caused derivative
treatment of the embedded conversion option. On the initial measurement dates, the fair values of the embedded conversion option
derivative of $1,436,725 was recorded as derivative liabilities and was allocated as a debt discount up to the net proceeds of
the April 20 Note of $415,000, with the remainder of $1,021,725 charged to current period operations as initial derivative expense.
Due to the default of August 2019 Note Amortization Payments due on our August 2019 Notes and other notes, the April 20 Note was
deemed in default. Accordingly, the outstanding principal balance on date of default increased by 30% which amounted to approximately
$136,950, default interest accrues at 18%, and the default conversion terms apply.
The
April 20 Note includes a down-round provision under which the April 20 Note conversion price could be affected, by future equity
offerings undertaken by the Company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, down-provisions were triggered. As of September
30, 2020, the conversion price of the April 20 Note was lowered to $0.006 per share.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued 38,500,000 shares of its common stock upon the conversion of principal
and default interest of $231,000.
At
September 30, 2020, convertible notes payable related to the April 20 Note amounted to $187,293, which consists of $362,450 of
principal balance and default interest due and is net of unamortized debt discount of $175,157.
Summary
of derivative liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2020, due to the non-payment of amortization payments due, substantially all convertible notes
were deemed in default. Accordingly, for substantially all of the loans in default, the aggregate outstanding principal balance
on date of default increased by 30% which amounted to an aggregate amount of $1,531,335. This default amount due of $1,531,335
was recorded as interest expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. Since the default principal
due is convertible at the same default terms contained in the related convertible notes, the Company determined that various terms
of the convertible notes discussed above caused derivative treatment of the embedded conversion options related to the default
principal due. Accordingly, under the provisions of ASC 815-40 - Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s
Own Stock, the embedded conversion option related to the default principal due were accounted for as derivative liabilities
at the date of issuance and shall be adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting date. The fair value of the embedded
conversion option derivatives related to the default principal due was determined using the Binomial valuation model. At the end
of each period and on the date that debt is converted into common shares, the Company revalues the embedded conversion option
derivative liabilities. In connection with the default principal due, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, on the
initial measurement date, the fair values of the embedded conversion option derivatives related to default principal due of $6,340,248
was recorded as derivative liabilities and charged to current period operations as initial derivative expense.
As
discussed above, the Company issued debt that consists of the issuance of convertible notes with variable conversion provisions.
The conversion terms of the convertible notes are variable based on certain factors, such as the future price of the Company’s
common stock, default provisions and payment of amortization payments in stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued
is based on the future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion
of each promissory note is indeterminate. Due to the fact that the number of shares of common stock issuable may exceed the Company’s
authorized share limit, effective January 30, 2020, the equity environment is tainted and all convertible debentures and warrants
are included in the value of the derivative. Pursuant to ASC 815-15 Embedded Derivatives, the fair values of the variable conversion
option and warrants and shares to be issued were recorded as derivative liabilities. On January 30, 2020, the Company evaluated
all outstanding warrants to determine whether these instruments are tainted and, due to reasons discussed above, all warrants
outstanding were considered tainted. Accordingly, the Company recorded a reclassification from paid-in capital to derivative liabilities
of $11,381,885 for warrants becoming tainted. On January 30, 2020, the fair value of the warrants to be reclassified to derivative
liabilities was determined using the Binomial valuation model.
In
connection with the issuance of the Q1/Q2 2020 Notes and the warrants issued in February, March and April 2020, the Company determined
that various terms of the Q1/Q2 2020 Notes and Q1/Q2 2020 Warrants, including the default provisions in the Q1/Q2 2020 Notes discussed
above, caused derivative treatment of the embedded conversion options and warrants. Accordingly, under the provisions of ASC 815-40
- Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s Own Stock, the embedded conversion option contained in
the Q1/Q2 2020 Notes and certain warrants were accounted for as derivative liabilities at the date of issuance and shall be adjusted
to fair value through earnings at each reporting date. The fair value of the embedded conversion option derivatives and warrants
was determined using the Binomial valuation model. At the end of each period and on the date that the Q1/Q2 2020 Notes are converted
into common shares, the Company revalues the embedded conversion option derivative liabilities. During the nine months ended September
30, 2020, on the initial measurement dates, the fair values of the embedded conversion option and warrant derivatives of $8,817,568
was recorded as derivative liabilities and was allocated as a debt discount up to the net proceeds of the Q1/Q2 2020 Notes of
$1,287,473, with the remainder of $7,530,095 charged to current period operations as initial derivative expense.

equal to the fair value of the shares as determined by recent sales of the Company’s common shares, no beneficial feature
conversion was recorded. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company borrowed additional fund from individuals

Paycheck
Protection Program Promissory Notes
On

Security Act of 2020 (the “CARES Act”). On April 28, 2020, the Shypdirect PPP Loan was approved and Shypdirect
received the loan proceeds on May 1, 2020. Shypdirect plans to use the proceeds for covered payroll costs, rent and utilities
in accordance with the relevant terms and conditions of the CARES Act. The Shypdirect PPP Loan has a two-year term, matures on
April 28, 2022, and bears interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments, less the amount of any
potential forgiveness (discussed below), will commence on November 28, 2020.
On
April 15, 2020, the Company’s subsidiary, Prime EFS, entered into a Paycheck Protection promissory note (the “Prime
EFS PPP Loan” and together with the Shypdirect PPP Loan, the “PPP Loans”) with M&T Bank in the
amount of $2,941,212 under the SBA Paycheck Protection Program of the CARES Act. On April 15, 2020, the Prime EFS PPP Loan was
approved and Prime EFS received the loan proceeds on April 22, 2020. Prime EFS plans to use the proceeds for covered payroll costs,
rent and utilities in accordance with the relevant terms and conditions of the CARES Act. The Prime EFS PPP Loan has a two-year

the amount of any potential forgiveness (discussed below), will commence on November 16, 2020.
Neither
Prime EFS nor Shypdirect provided any collateral or guarantees for these PPP Loans, nor did they pay any facility charge to obtain
the PPP Loans. These promissory notes provide for customary events of default, including, among others, those relating to failure
to make payment, bankruptcy, breaches of representations and material adverse effects. Prime EFS and Shypdirect may prepay the
principal of the PPP Loans at any time without incurring any prepayment charges. These PPP Loans may be forgiven partially or
fully if the loan proceeds are used for covered payroll costs, rent and utilities, provided that such amounts are incurred during
the twenty- four-week period that commenced on May 1, 2020 and at least 60% of any forgiven amount has been used for covered payroll
costs. Any forgiveness of these PPP Loans will be subject to approval by the SBA and M&T Bank and will require Prime EFS and
Shypdirect to apply for such treatment in the future. The Company exhausted such funds in the third quarter and file for forgiveness
in the fourth quarter, although there is no guarantee that such forgiveness will be granted.

The
Company increased its authorized preferred shares to 10,000,000 shares in July 2018.
Series
A preferred stock
On
April 9, 2019, the Company entered into agreements with all holders of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to exchange all
4,000,000 outstanding shares of preferred stock for an aggregate of 2,600,000 shares of restricted common stock. Upon conversion,
pursuant to Section 9(i) of the Certificate of Designation, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock became undesignated upon
their return to the Company. In July 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Withdrawal of the Series A designation.
Series
B preferred shares
In
August 2019, the Company designated Series B Preferred Shares consisting of 1,700,000 shares with a par value of $0.001 and a
stated value of $0.001. The Series B preferred shares have no voting rights and are not redeemable. Each share of Series B Preferred
stock is convertible into one share of common stock at the option of the holder subject to beneficial ownership limitation.
On
August 16, 2019, the Company issued 1,000,000 Series B preferred shares for services rendered to the former member of Prime EFS
who is considered a related party. The shares were valued at $2.50 per shares on an as if converted basis to common shares based
on recent sales of the Company’s common stock of $2.50 per share. In connection with the issuance of these Series B Preferred
shares, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $2,500,000.
On
August 16, 2019, the Company issued 700,000 shares of Series B Preferred shares upon settlement of 700,000 shares of issuable
common shares (see Note 6).

Series
C preferred shares
Pursuant
to the August 2019 Purchase Agreement (see Note 6), by and among the Company and the investors named therein (the “August
2019 Investors”), the Company is required to keep reserved for issuance to the August 2019 Investors three times the
number of shares of common stock issuable to the August 2019 Investors upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, of convertible
notes and warrants held by the August 2019 Investors (the “August 2019 Reserve Requirement”). If the Company
fails to meet the August 2019 Reserve Requirement within 45 days after written notice from an August 2019 Investor, the Company
must, inter alia, sell to the Lead Investor (as defined in the August 2019 Purchase Agreement) for $100 a series of preferred
stock which holds voting power equal to 51% of the number of votes eligible to vote at any special or annual meeting of the Company’s
stockholders (with the power to take action by written consent in lieu of a stockholders meeting) for the sole purpose of amending
the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock that the Company
is authorized to issue, which such preferred stock will be automatically cancelled upon the effectiveness of the resulting increase
in the Company’s authorized stock. By letter agreement dated, June 4, 2020, the Lead Investor assigned this contract right
to John Mercadante, the chief executive officer of the Company.
On
June 5, 2020, the Company sold to John Mercadante, for $100, one share of Series C Preferred Stock which has voting power equal
to 51% of the number of votes eligible to vote at any special or annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (with the
power to take action by written consent in lieu of a stockholders meeting) for the sole purpose of amending the Company’s
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock that the Company is authorized
to issue. Upon the effectiveness of the amendment on July 20, 2020, the Series C Preferred Stock was automatically cancelled.
The Series C Preferred Stock was not entitled to vote on any other matter, was not entitled to dividends, was not convertible
into any other security of the Company and was not entitled to any distributions upon liquidation of the Company.
Series
D preferred shares
In
connection with Exchange Agreements (See Note 6), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) created the Series D
pursuant to the authority vested in the Board by the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to issue up
to 10,000,0000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share. The Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation
explicitly authorize the Board to issue any or all of such shares of preferred stock in one (1) or more classes or series and
to fix the designations, powers, preferences and rights, the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend
rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and
the number of shares constituting any class or series, without further vote or action by the stockholders.

On
July 20, 2020, the Board filed the Certificate of Designation of Preferences (“COD”), Rights and Limitations of Series
D Preferred Stock (the “Series D COD”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada designating 1,250,000
shares of preferred stock as Series D. The Series D does not have the right to vote. The Series D has a stated value of $6.00
per share (the “Stated Value”). Subject only to the liquidation rights of the holders of Series B Preferred
Stock that is currently issued and outstanding, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of the Company,
whether voluntary or involuntary, the Series D is entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the Stated Value and then receive
a pro-rata portion of the remaining assets available for distribution to the holders of common stock on an as-converted to common
stock basis. Until July 20, 2021, the holders of Series D have the right to participate, pro rata, in each subsequent financing
in an amount up to 25% of the total proceeds of such financing on the same terms, conditions and price otherwise available in
such subsequent financing.
Subject
to a beneficial ownership limitation and customary adjustments for stock dividends and stock splits, each share of Series D is
convertible into 1,000 shares of common stock. A holder of Series D may not convert any shares of Series D into common stock if
the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates and any persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the
holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the conversion, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Series D
COD. However, upon notice from the holder to the Company, the holder may decrease or increase the beneficial ownership limitation,
which may not exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise,
as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Series D COD, provided that any such increase or
decrease in the beneficial ownership limitation will not take effect until 61 days following notice to the Company.
Approval
of at least a majority of the outstanding Series D is required to: (a) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision
to, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or bylaws, or file any Certificate of Designation (however such document is
named) or articles of amendment to create any class or any series of preferred stock, if such action would adversely alter or
change in any respect the preferences, rights, privileges or powers, or restrictions provided for the benefit, of the Series D,
regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws or by merger,
consolidation or otherwise or filing any Certificate of Designation, it being understood that the creation of a new security having
rights, preferences or privileges senior to or on parity with the Series D in a future financing will not constitute an amendment,
addition, alteration, filing, waiver or repeal for these purposes; (b) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized
number of Series D; (c) issue any Series D, other than to the Investors; or (d) without limiting any provision hereunder, whether
or not prohibited by the terms of the Series D, circumvent a right of the Series D.
On
July 20, 2020 and July 22, 2020, the Company entered Exchange Agreements (See Note 6) with two Investors to exchange outstanding
August 2019 Notes and August 2019 Warrants for a newly created series of preferred stock designated the Series D Convertible Preferred
Stock. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, the Investors exchanged August 2019 Notes with an aggregate remaining principal amount
outstanding of $500,184, accrued interest payable of $85,827, and Warrants to purchase 423,159,293 shares of Common Stock for
522,726 shares of Series D (the “Exchange”). In connection with the issuance of the Series D shares, the Company
recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $239,678 which is associated with the fair market value of the excess shares issued
upon conversion of the principal balances and accrued interest converted at the conversion price.
During
the period from July 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020, the Company issued 398,350,000 shares of its common stock in connection with
the conversion of 398,350 shares of Series D. The conversion ratio was 1,000 shares of common stock for each share of Series D
based on the Series D COD.

to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company to authorize an increase of the number of shares of common
stock that the Company may issue to 4,000,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 (the “Authorized Share Increase Amendment”).
The
Company filed a preliminary information statement on Schedule 14C regarding the stockholders’ consent to the Authorized

with this modification, principal balance of the Bellridge Note was reduced to $1,800,000, in exchange for the issuance to Bellridge
of 800,000 shares of restricted common stock, which shall be delivered to Bellridge, either in whole or in part, at such time
or times as when the beneficial ownership of such shares by Bellridge will not result in Bellridge’s beneficial ownership

no fewer than the lesser of (i) 50,000 shares and (ii) the balance of the 800,000 shares owed. The “Beneficial Ownership
Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving
effect to the issuance of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement. These 800,000 shares issued and issuable

Warrants
Warrants
issued in connection with convertible debt
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued Q1/Q2 2020 Warrants to purchase up to 827,200 shares of the Company’s
common stock (See Note 6). The Q1/Q2 2020 Warrants are exercisable at any time on or after the date of the issuance and entitle
the investors to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of five years from the initial date the Q1/Q2
2020 Warrants become exercisable. Under the terms of the Q1/Q2 2020 Warrants, the investors are entitled to exercise the Q1/Q2
2020 Warrants to purchase up to 827,200 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.40, subject
to adjustment as detailed in the respective Q1/Q2 2020 Warrant. In connection with the 374,000 warrants issued in January 2020,
the Company calculated the relative fair value of these warrants in the amount of $262,872 which was added to debt discount and
will be amortized over the term of the notes (see Note 6). In connection with the 453,200 warrants issued in February, March 2020
and April 2020, the Company determined that various terms of these Q1/Q2 2020 Notes and Q1/Q2 2020 Warrants, including the default
provisions in the Q1/Q2 2020 Notes discussed in Note 6, caused derivative treatment of the warrants. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2020, on the initial measurement dates, the fair value of the warrant derivatives of $456,858 was recorded as derivative
liabilities and was allocated as a debt discount up to the net proceeds of the Q1/Q2 2020 Notes of $456,858. The fair value of
these warrants was estimated using the Binomial valuation model with the assumptions as outlined in Note 6.
Warrant
price protection
On
August 30, 2019, pursuant to the terms of the August 2019 Purchase Agreements with accredited investors, the Company issued August
2019 Warrants to purchase up to 987,940 shares of the Company’s common stock (See Note 6). The August 2019 Warrants are
exercisable at any time on or after the date of the issuance and entitle the investors to purchase shares of the Company’s
common stock for a period of five years from the initial date the August 2019 Warrants become exercisable. Under the terms of
the August 2019 Warrants, the investors were entitled to exercise the August 2019 Warrants to purchase up to 987,940 shares of
the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $3.50, subject to adjustment as detailed in the August 2019 Warrants.
On September 6, 2019, the Company sold its common shares at $2.50 per share and accordingly, the August 2019 Warrant down-round
provisions were triggered. As a result, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants was increased by 395,176 to
1,383,116 and the exercise price was lowered to $2.50. On January 7, 2020, the Company issued new convertible debt with an initial
conversion price of $0.40 per share and warrants exercisable at $0.40 per share and accordingly, the conversion price and warrant
down-round provisions were triggered. As a result, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants was increased to
8,644,474 and the exercise price was lowered to $0.40. As a result of the January 7, 2020 trigger of the down-round provisions,
on January 7, 2020, the Company recorded a deemed dividend of $17,836,244 which represents the fair value transferred to the warrant
holders from the down-round feature being triggered. The Company calculated the difference between the August 2019 Warrants’
fair value on January 7, 2020, the date the down-round feature was triggered using the current exercise price and the new exercise
price and the new number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The deemed dividend was recorded as an increase in
accumulated deficit and increase in paid-in capital and increased the net loss to common shareholders by the same amount. Subsequent
to January 7, 2020, additional down-round protection was triggered. As of September 30, 2020, the exercise price of the August
2019 Warrants was lowered to $0.006 per share, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants was increased.
In
August 2019, in connection with the sale of common stock, the Company issued 585,000 five-year warrants to purchase common shares
for an exercise price of $2.50 per common share to investors. These warrants include down-round provisions under which the warrant
exercise price could be affected by future equity offerings undertaken by the Company. During the nine months ended September
30, 2020, down-round provisions were triggered. As of September 30, 2020, the exercise price of these warrants was lowered to
$0.006 per share.

In
October 2019, pursuant to the terms of the October 3 Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor, the Company issued the October
3 Warrant to purchase up to 66,401 shares of the Company’s common stock (See Note 6). The October 3 Warrant is exercisable
at any time on or after the date of the issuance and entitles the investor to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock
for a period of five years from the initial date the October 3 Warrant becomes exercisable. Under the terms of the October 3 Warrant,
the investor is entitled to exercise the October 3 Warrant to purchase up to 66,401 shares of the Company’s common stock
at an initial exercise price of $3.51, subject to adjustment as detailed in the October 3 Warrant. The October 3 Warrant includes
a down-round provision under which the October 3 Warrant exercise price could be affected, on a full-ratchet basis, by future
equity offerings undertaken by the Company. Subsequent to October 3, 2019, the Company issued convertible debt with a conversion
price of $2.50 per share and accordingly, the October 3 Warrant down-round provisions were triggered. As a result, the October
3 Warrant exercise price was lowered to $2.50 and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of warrants was increased to 66,667.
On January 7, 2020, the Company issued new convertible debt with an initial conversion price of $0.40 per share and warrants exercisable
at $0.40 per share and accordingly, the conversion price and warrant down-round provisions were triggered. As a result, the number
of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants was increased to 416,669 and the exercise price was lowered to $0.40. As a result
of the January 7, 2020 trigger of the down-round provisions, on January 7, 2020, the Company recorded a deemed dividend of $859,768
which represents the fair value transferred to the warrant holders from the down-round feature being triggered. The Company calculated
the difference between October 3 Warrant’s fair value on January 7, 2020, the date the down-round feature was triggered
using the current exercise price and the new exercise price and the new number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants.
The deemed dividend was recorded as an increase in accumulated deficit and increase in paid-in capital and increased the net loss
to common shareholders by the same amount. Subsequent to January 7, 2020, additional down-round protection was triggered. As of
September 30, 2020, the exercise price of the October 3 Warrant was lowered to $0.006 per share, and the number of shares issuable
upon exercise of the October 3 Warrant was increased.
Other
As
discussed in Note 6 above, the Company issued debt that consists of the issuance of convertible notes with variable conversion
provisions. The conversion terms of the convertible notes are variable based on certain factors, such as the future price of the
Company’s common stock, default provisions and payment of amortization Payments in stock. The number of shares of common
stock to be issued is based on the future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable
upon conversion of the promissory note is indeterminate. Due to the fact that the number of shares of common stock issuable exceed
the Company’s authorized share limit, effective January 30, 2020, the equity environment is tainted and all convertible
debentures and warrants shall be included in the value of the derivative. Pursuant to ASC 815-15 Embedded Derivatives, the fair
values of the warrants were recorded as derivative liabilities on the issuance date. On January 30, 2020, the Company evaluated
all outstanding warrants to determine whether these instruments are tainted and, due to reasons discussed above, all warrants
outstanding were considered tainted. Accordingly, the Company recorded a reclassification from paid-in capital to derivative liabilities
of $11,381,885 for warrants becoming tainted. On January 30, 2020, the fair value of the warrants to be reclassified to derivative
liabilities was determined using the Binomial valuation model.
Subsequent
to January 30, 2020, the Company issued shares of its common stock upon conversion of debt at price lower than $0.40. Accordingly,
the exercise prices of the August 2019 Warrants and October 3 Warrant discussed above were lowered to $0.006 and the aggregate
number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants was increased from 9,061,143 shares to 604,076,186 shares. Since these
warrants were treated as derivative liabilities, no additional deemed dividend was recorded.
During
the period from June 1, 2020 to June 29, 2020, the Company issued 70,203,889 shares of its common stock in connection with the
cashless exercise of 73,635,000 warrants. The exercise price was based on contractual terms of the related debt.
On
June 16, 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 28,100,000 five-year warrants to purchase 28,100,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock at an exercise price of $0.06 per share, subject to adjustment as defined in the respective warrant to two consultants
for services rendered. On June 16, 2020, the Company calculated the fair value of these warrants of $1,963,291 which was calculated
using the Binomial valuation model with the following assumptions: expected dividend rate, 0%; expected term of 5 years; volatility
of 298.8% and risk-free interest rate of 0.33%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded stock-based
professional fees of $1,963,291 related to these warrants which has been included in professional fees on the accompanying condensed
consolidated statement of operations.
On
July 20, 2020 and July 22, 2020, the Company entered Exchange Agreements (see Note 6) with two Investors to exchange outstanding
August 2019 Notes and August 2019 Warrants for a newly created series of preferred stock designated the Series D (See above).
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, the Investors exchanged August 2019 Notes with an aggregate remaining principal amount outstanding
of $500,184, accrued interest payable of $85,828, and Warrants to purchase 423,159,293 shares of Common Stock for 522,726 shares
of Series D. In connection with the issuance of these shares, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $239,678 which
is associated with the fair market value of the excess shares issued upon conversion of the principal balances and accrued interest
converted at the conversion price.

Legal
matters
From
time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operation in the normal course of business.
Disputes
Between Prime EFS, ELRAC LLC, and Enterprise Leasing Company of Philadelphia, LLC
On
or about January 10, 2020, Prime EFS was named as sole defendant in a civil action captioned ELRAC LLC v. Prime EFS, filed in
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, assigned Case No. 1 :20-cv-00211 (the “ELRAC Action”).
The complaint in the ELRAC Action alleged that Prime EFS failed to pay in full for repairs allegedly required by reason of property
damage to delivery vehicles leased by Prime EFS from ELRAC LLC (“ELRAC”) to conduct its business. The complaint
sought damages of not less than $382,000 plus $58,000 in insurance claims that ELRAC believes were collected by the Company and
not reimbursed to ELRAC.
ELRAC
subsequently moved for a default judgment against Prime EFS. By letter to the court dated March 9, 2020, Prime EFS opposed entry
of a default judgment and contended that all claims in the ELRAC Action were subject to mandatory arbitration clauses found in
the individual lease agreements. On March 19, 2020, ELRAC filed a stipulation dismissing the ELRAC Action without prejudice and
advised Prime EFS that it intends to file an arbitration at the American Arbitration Association alleging essentially identical
claims.
During
the period it was leasing vans and trucks from ELRAC and its affiliate, Enterprise Leasing Company of Philadelphia, LLC (“Enterprise
PA” and, with ELRAC, “Enterprise”), Prime EFS transferred $387,392 in deposits required by Enterprise
as security for the payment of deductibles and uninsured damage to Enterprise’s fleet. Despite due demand, Enterprise never
accounted to Prime EFS’s satisfaction regarding the application of these deposits. On June 10, 2020, Prime EFS therefore
initiated an arbitration (the “Arbitration”) against Enterprise at the American Arbitration Association seeking
the return of not less than $327,000 of these deposits.
On
October 9, 2020, Enterprise filed its Answer and Counterclaims in the Arbitration. In its Answer, Enterprise denies liability
to Prime for $327,000 or any other sum. In its Counterclaims, ELRAC seeks $382,000 in damages and Enterprise PA seeks $256,000
in damages. Enterprise also seeks $62,000 in insurance payments allegedly made by Utica to Prime EFS.
Prime
EFS believes the Enterprise Answer and Counterclaims lack merit and intends to defend its position in the Arbitration vigorously.
Nevertheless, given the amount of the Counterclaim and the documentation which Enterprise has submitted in the arbitration in
support thereof, the Company continues to reflect a liability of $440,000, i.e., the amount originally claimed as damages by ELRAC
in the ELRAC Federal Action, as a contingency liability on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
BMF
Capital v. Prime EFS LLC et al.
As
previously reported, in a settlement agreement entered into as of March 6, 2020, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Prime
EFS agreed to pay BMF Capital (“BMF”) $275,000 on or by March 11, 2020, inter alia to discharge a convertible
note, to cancel certain warrants on 40,300 shares of TLSS common stock, and to settle certain claims made by BMF Capital under
certain merchant cash advance agreements (MCAs). Prime EFS did not pay a portion of the agreed $275,000 settlement amount by March
11, 2020 but the Company has subsequently paid the $275,000 in full. As more than eleven (11) months have now passed, and BMF
has not again contacted Prime EFS concerning this matter, Prime EFS believes this matter to now be closed.

Bellridge
Capital, L.P. v. TLSS
By
letter dated April 28, 2020, a prior investor in the Company, Bellridge Capital, L.P. (“Bellridge”), claimed
that the Company was in breach of its obligations under an August 29, 2019 letter agreement to issue a confession of judgment
and to pay Bellridge $150,000 per month against the amounts due under, inter alia, an April 2019 promissory note. In the
April 28, 2020 letter, Bellridge contended that TLSS owed Bellridge $1,978,557.76 as of that date. In a purported standstill agreement
subsequently proposed by Bellridge, Bellridge claimed that TLSS owed it $2,271,099.83, a figure which allegedly includes default
rate interest. Bellridge also claimed that a subordination agreement it signed with the Company on August 30, 2019, was void ab
initio. Bellridge also demanded the conversion of approximately $20,000 in indebtedness into the common stock of the Company,
a conversion which the Company had not effectuated at the time because the parties had not come to agreement on a conversion price.
Such agreement was required for Bellridge to exercise its conversion rights under an agreement dated April 9, 2019 between Bellridge
and the Company.
In
an agreement dated August 3, 2020, Bellridge and the Company resolved many of the disputes between them. Among other things, Bellridge
and the Company agreed upon the balance of all indebtedness owed to Bellridge as of August 3, 2020 ($2,150,000), a new maturity
date on the indebtedness (April 30, 2021), and a price of $0.02 for the conversion of all Bellridge indebtedness into shares of
Company common stock. In the agreement, Bellridge also agrees to release its claims against the Company and its senior management
in a definitive settlement agreement. However, the August 3 agreement did not contain a release of claims by either party.
On
September 11, 2020, Bellridge filed a civil action against the Company, John Mercadante and Douglas Cerny in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Bellridge Capital, L.P. v. Transportation and Logistics Systems,
Inc., John Mercadante and Douglas Cerny. The case was assigned Case No. 20-cv-7485. The complaint alleges two separate claims
(the first and second claims for relief) for purported violations of section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against the Company, Mr. Mercadante
and/or Mr. Cerny; a claim (the third claim for relief) purportedly for control person liability under section 20(a) of the Exchange
Act against Messrs. Mercadante and Cerny; a claim (the fourth claim for relief) purportedly for fraudulent inducement against
the Company; a claim (the fifth claim for relief) against the Company purportedly for breach of an exchange agreement between
Bellridge Capital, L.P. (“Bellridge”) and the Company allegedly dated April 13, 2019 (the “Purported
Exchange Agreement”); a claim (the sixth claim for relief) against the Company purportedly for specific performance
of the Purported Exchange Agreement; a claim against the Company (the seventh claim for relief) for purported non-payment of a
promissory note dated December 26, 2018 pursuant to which the Company borrowed $300,000 and committed to pay Bellridge $330,000
on or by March 15, 2019 plus 10% interest per annum (the “December 2018 Note”); a claim (the eighth claim for
relief) purportedly for a declaratory judgment that the Company allegedly failed to comply with a condition precedent to the effectiveness
of a subordination agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”) executed and delivered in connection with the
Purported Exchange Agreement; and a claim (the ninth claim for relief) for breach of an assignment agreement, executed on or about
July 20, 2018 (the “Partial Assignment Agreement”) in connection with a purchase of 50,000 shares of Company
convertible preferred stock, by Bellridge, from a third party.
The
damages sought under the first, second and third claims for relief are not specified in the complaint. The fourth claim for relief
seeks $128,394 in damages exclusive of interest and costs. The fifth claim for relief seeks $582,847 in damages exclusive of interest
and costs. The sixth claim for relief demands that the Company honor allegedly outstanding stock conversions served by Bellridge
at a price of $0.00545 per share. The seventh claim for relief seeks $267,970 in damages exclusive of interest and costs. The
eighth claim for relief seeks a declaration that the Subordination Agreement is null and void. The ninth claim for relief seeks
the difference between the conversion price of the shares at time of the originally requested conversion and the price on the
actual date of conversion, plus liquidated damages of $57,960.
After
filing the action against him, Bellridge has discontinued this proceeding insofar as alleged against Mr. Cerny.
On
November 6, 2020, TLSI filed an answer in this matter, denying liability for all matters alleged in the complaint. On November
26, Mr. Mercadante filed an answer in this matter, denying liability for all matters alleged in the complaint.
The
initial case conference in this matter was held on February 5, 2021. At the conference, the assigned judge expressed doubt as
to whether the court has subject matter jurisdiction over the dispute. The Court ordered Bellbridge to file an amended complaint,
properly alleging subject matter jurisdiction, if it can, by February 17, 2021 and, if Bellridge files such an amended complaint,
directed the defendants, by February 24, 2021, to answer the amended complaint or move to dismiss it.
The
Company believes it has substantial defenses to some or all claims in the complaint, including without limitation the defense
of usury. Both the Company and Mr. Mercadante intend to defend this case vigorously.
It
is not possible to evaluate the likelihood of a favorable or unfavorable outcome, nor is it possible to estimate the amount or
range of any potential loss in the matter.
SCS,
LLC v. Transport and Logistics Systems, Inc.
On
May 26, 2020, a civil action was filed against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, captioned
SCS, LLC v. Transportation and Logistics Systems, Inc. The case was assigned Index No. 154433/2020.
The
plaintiff in this action, SCS, LLC (“SCS”) alleges it is a limited liability company that entered into a renewable
six-month consulting agreement with the Company dated September 5, 2019 and that the Company failed to make certain monthly payments
due thereunder for the months of October 2019 through March 2020, summing to $42,000. The complaint alleges claims for breach
of contract, quantum meruit, unjust enrichment and account stated.
On
July 22, 2020, the Company filed its answer, defenses and counterclaims in this action. Among other things, the Company avers
in its answer that SCS’s claims are barred by its unclean hands and other inequitable conduct, including breach of its duties
(i) to maintain the confidentiality of information provided to SCS on a confidential basis and (ii) to work only in furtherance
of the Company’s interests, not in furtherance of SCS’s own, and conflicting, interests. The Company also avers that
SCS’s alleged damages must be reduced by the compensation and other benefits received by Lawrence Sands, founder of SCS,
as a W-2 employee of the Company. The Company also avers that the New York Supreme Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction of
the action because SCS concedes it is a Florida LLC based in Florida and that the Company is a Nevada corporation based in Florida.
On
July 31, 2020, SCS moved for summary judgment in this action. On August 18, 2020, the Company moved to dismiss this action for
lack of subject matter jurisdiction. In its motion, among other things, the Company asserted that the New York court lacks subject
matter jurisdiction because neither party was formed under New York law; neither party maintains an office in the State of New
York; the consulting agreement between the parties dated September 5, 2019 was not performed in the State of New York; and, it
was anticipated, at the time of contracting, that the bulk of SCS’s consulting services thereunder would be rendered in
Florida, not New York.

On
November 4, 2020, Supreme Court, New York County, heard argument on the Company’s motion to dismiss, granted the motion,
and denied SCS’s motion summary judgment as moot (the “Decision”). SCS did not seek reconsideration and/or
appeal from the Decision within the prescribed time periods. However, on or about January 14, 2021, SCS refiled this action the
state court in Florida, seeking the same $42,000 in damages. The Company must file an answer to the Florida complaint by February
9, 2021.
The
Company believes it has substantial defenses to some or all claims in the complaint, including without limitation breaches of
the consulting agreement by SCS. The Company therefore intends to defend this case vigorously.
Based
on the early stage of this matter, it is not possible to evaluate the likelihood of a favorable or unfavorable outcome, nor is

Shareholder
Derivative Action
As
previously disclosed, on June 25, 2020, the Company was served with a putative shareholder derivative action filed in the Circuit
Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida (the “Court”) captioned SCS,
LLC, derivatively on behalf of Transportation and Logistics Systems, Inc. v. John Mercadante, Jr., Douglas Cerny, Sebastian Giordano,
Ascentaur LLC and Transportation and Logistics Systems, Inc. The action has been assigned Case No. 2020-CA-006581.
The
plaintiff in this action, SCS, alleges it is a limited liability company formed by a former chief executive officer and director
of the Company, Lawrence Sands. The complaint alleges that between April 2019 and June 2020, the current chairman and chief executive
officer of the Company, the current chief development officer of the Company and, since February 2020, the Company’s restructuring
consultant, breached fiduciary duties owed to the Company. The Company’s restructuring consultant, defendant Sebastian Giordano,
renders his services through another defendant in the action, Ascentaur LLC.
Briefly,
the complaint alleges that the Company’s chief executive officer breached duties to the Company by, among other things,
requesting, in mid-2019, that certain preferred equity holders, including SCS, convert their preferred shares into Company common
stock in order to facilitate an equity offering by the Company and then not consummating an equity offering. The complaint also
alleges that current management caused the Company to engage in purportedly wasteful and unnecessary transactions such as taking
merchant cash advances (MCA) on disadvantageous terms. The complaint further alleges that current management “issued themselves
over two million shares of common stock without consideration.” The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive
damages on behalf of the Company for breach of fiduciary duty, negligent breach of fiduciary duty, constructive fraud, and civil
conspiracy and the appointment of a receiver or custodian for the Company.
The
Company’s current management has tendered the complaint to its directors’ and officers’ liability carrier for
defense and indemnity purposes, which coverage is subject to a $250,000 self-insured retention or “deductible.” Company
management, Mr. Giordano and Ascentaur LLC each advise that they deny each and every allegation of wrongdoing alleged in the complaint.
Among other things, current management asserts that it made every effort to consummate an equity offering in late 2019 and early
2020 and could not do so solely because of the Company’s precarious financial condition. Current management also asserts
it made clear to SCS and other preferred equity holders, before they converted their shares into common stock, that there was
no guarantee the Company would be able to consummate an equity offering in late 2019 or early 2020. In addition, current management
asserts that it received equity in the Company on terms that were entirely fair to the Company and entered into MCA transactions
solely because there was no other financing available to the Company.
On August 5, 2020, all defendants in this action moved to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief
can be granted. Among other things, all defendants allege in their motion that, through this lawsuit, SCS is improperly attempting
to second-guess business decisions made by the Company’s Board of Directors, based solely on hindsight (as opposed to any
well-pleaded facts demonstrating a lack of care or good faith). All defendants also assert that the majority of the claims are
governed by Nevada law because they concern the internal affairs of the Company. Defendants further assert that, under Nevada
law, each of the business decisions challenged by SCS is protected by the business judgment rule. Defendants further assert that,
even if SCS could rebut the presumption that the business judgment rule applies to all such transactions, SCS has failed to allege
facts demonstrating that intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law occurred—a requirement under Nevada
law in order for director or officer liability to arise. Defendants further assert that, because SCS’s constructive fraud
claim simply repackages Plaintiff’s claims for breach of fiduciary duty, it too must fail. Defendants also contend that
in the absence of an adequately-alleged independent cause of action—let alone an unlawful agreement between the defendants
entered into for the purpose of harming the Company, SCS’s claim for civil conspiracy must also be dismissed. Finally, defendants
contend that SCS’s extraordinary request that a receiver or custodian be appointed to manage and supervise the Company’s
activities and affairs throughout the duration of this unfounded action is without merit because SCS does not allege the Company
is subject to loss so serious and significant that the appointment of a receiver or custodian is “absolutely necessary to
do complete justice.”
SCS
has a right to file court papers opposing the above motion and thereafter the defendants have a right to file reply papers in
further support of the motion (the “MTD”). To date, the court has not entered an order scheduling these filings
or a hearing on the MTD.
In
the interim, SCS has propounded certain discovery requests to Mr. Giordano concerning his personal jurisdiction and de facto officer
defenses to which Mr. Giordano responded in timely fashion, to the extent required by Florida court rules.
While
they hope to prevail on the motion, win or lose, current Company management, Mr. Giordano and Ascentaur LLC advise that they intend
to mount a vigorous defense to this action, as they believe the action to be entirely bereft of merit.
It
is not possible to evaluate the likelihood of a favorable or unfavorable outcome, nor is it possible to estimate the amount or
range of any potential loss in the matter.

TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September
30, 2020
On
July 24, 2020, Prime EFS terminated the employment of Frank Mazzola effective that day. On July 27, 2020, Mr. Mazzola filed a
Complaint and Jury Demand in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in which he named as defendants
Prime EFS, the Company, John Mercadante and Douglas Cerny. The case was assigned # 1:20-CV-5788-VM. In this action, Mr. Mazzola
alleges that he had an employment agreement with Prime EFS and that Prime EFS breached the alleged employment agreement through
two alleged pay reductions and by terminating his employment. The Complaint contains eight counts: (1) breach of contract against
Prime EFS; (2) breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing against Prime EFS; (3) intentional misrepresentation against
Prime EFS, the Company and Mr. Mercadante; (4) negligent misrepresentation against Prime EFS, the Company and Mr. Mercadante;
(5) tortious interference with contract against the Company, Mr. Mercadante and Mr. Cerny; (6) tortious interference with prospective
economic advantage against the Company, Mr. Mercadante and Mr. Cerny; (7) conversion against all defendants; and (8) unjust enrichment
against all defendants. Mr. Mazzola seeks specific performance of the alleged employment agreement and damages of not less than
$3 million.
Without
Answering the Complaint, on August 14, 2020, the defendants objected to the Complaint on the grounds of lack of personal jurisdiction,
improper venue and because the Complaint failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. On August 25, 2020, the Court
ordered Mr. Mazzola to respond to the defendant’s objections within three days. On August 28, 2020, Mr. Mazzola voluntarily
withdrew the action.
On
September 1, 2020, Mr. Mazzola served the defendants with a Complaint and Jury Demand that Mr. Mazzola filed in the Superior Court
of New Jersey, Law Division, Bergen County, docket number BER-L-004967-20. The Complaint alleged the same claims as those set
forth in the Complaint that Mr. Mazzola had filed in the now withdrawn New York federal lawsuit. On September 28, 2020, the defendants
removed the New Jersey state court lawsuit to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, which has been
assigned civil action number 2:20-cv-13387-BRM-ESK. On October 5, 2020, all defendants filed a motion to dismiss each and every
claim asserted against then in the New Jersey federal action. The briefing and hearing of defendants’ motion have been adjourned
owing to plaintiff Frank Mazzola’s decision to replace his lawyer in this action.
By
letter dated November 18, 2020, Mr. Mazzola, by counsel, sought leave of court to file an amended complaint in this matter. On
November 25, 2020, the Court granted plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint on or by December 7, 2020, and granted defendants
until January 11, 2021 to file an answer or to move against the amended complaint.
On
December 7, 2020, Mr. Mazzola filed an amended complaint in this action (the “AC”) alleging three (3) claims for relief:
one for Breach of Contract against Prime EFS; one for “Piercing the Corporate Veil” against the Company; and one for
“Fraudulent Inducement” against Messrs. Mercadante and Cerny. The damages sought by each claim are identical: “approximately
$2,000,000, representing $1,040,000 in [alleged] severance”; $759,038.41 in alleged “accrued but unpaid salary”;
and non-cash benefits under the alleged executive employment agreement.
On
January 11, 2021, Prime EFS filed an answer to the AC, denying, under the faithless servant doctrine and otherwise, that it has
any liability to Mr. Mazzola for any of the amounts sought. Prime EFS also filed counterclaims against Mr. Mazzola seeking recoupment
of not less than $925,492 in W-2 compensation paid to Mazzola; damages in the amount of $168,750 which Mazzola paid to his mother
for a no-show job; and damages of not less than $500,000 for usurpation of corporate opportunities belonging to Prime EFS. Also
on January 11, 2021, the Company, Mr. Mercadante and Mr. Cerny filed motions to dismiss the AC insofar as pled against them for
failure to state a claim and for lack of personal jurisdiction. Briefing on these motions is currently underway.
On
January 27, 2021, Prime EFS filed an amended answer to the AC, increasing the amount sought on its counterclaim for recoupment
of income paid to Mr. Mazzola from $925,492 to $1,111,833.73 and adding a claim for indemnification for amounts paid by Prime
EFS to resolve certain litigation against it such as the Valesky case (see below).
It
is not possible to evaluate the likelihood of a favorable or unfavorable outcome, nor is it possible to estimate the amount or
range of any potential loss in the matter.
Rosemary
Mazzola v. TLSS and Prime EFS
On
September 19, 2020, attorneys for Frank Mazzola’s mother, Rosemary Mazzola, filed an action in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and Douglas Cerny. The case was assigned docket number 1:20-cv-7582
and assigned to USDJ Gregory H. Woods. In this action, Ms. Mazzola claims that the Company entered into and breached an unspecified
contract by failing to pay her $94,000. In addition, the complaint claims that, although he was not a party to the unspecified
contract, Mr. Cerny falsely represented that the Company intended to “repay” Ms. Mazzola $94,000 plus interest. The
complaint seeks $94,000 from each defendant, plus late fees, costs, prejudgment interest and attorneys’ fees and, from Mr.
Cerny punitive damages in an unspecified amount. The complaint also alleges claims for account stated and breach of implied warranty
of good faith and fair dealing, allegedly premised on the same indebtedness.
On
October 26, 2020, in lieu of filing an answer, all defendants, by counsel, submitted timely a letter motion (the “Oct.
26 Letter Motion”) for leave to file a motion to dismiss the complaint, which filing pointed out numerous alleged deficiencies
with the complaint. Among other things, in the Oct. 26 Letter Motion, defendants pointed out (a) that Mr. Cerny is not a proper
defendant and that, in event, the Court lacks personal jurisdiction over him; (b) that the only conceivable contract on which
the complaint could be based is the Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement, dated September 30, 2018, pursuant to which
Mrs. Mazzola and others sold their membership interests in Prime EFS to the Company; (c) that pursuant to that contract, “[i]n
lieu of the receipt of cash by Rosemary Mazzola at Closing, Rosemary Mazzola has agreed to loan such cash amount [$489,174] to
the Company” — defined to be Prime EFS, not the Company; and (d) therefore, that the only entity with an obligation
to pay any amounts allegedly due to Mrs. Mazzola under the 2018 agreement is Prime EFS, not the Company.
In
addition, in the Oct. 26 Letter Motion, defendants assert that, at least at this juncture, a claim against Prime EFS under the
2018 agreement would be improper. As noted above, in the 2018 agreement, it is merely agreed that, “[i]n lieu of the receipt
of cash by Rosemary Mazzola at Closing, Rosemary Mazzola has agreed to loan such cash amount to the Company [Prime] to be used
for working capital.” No terms and conditions of the loan were specified. Hence, defendants assert, a suit against Prime
EFS on the loan today would be at least premature.
By
order entered November 5, 2020, the Court gave new counsel for Mrs. Mazzola, the 80-year-old mother of Frank Mazzola, until November
23, 2020, to file an amended complaint in this action and, if warranted by the amended complaint, gave defendants until December
7, 2020 to file a renewed letter motion to dismiss this lawsuit.
On
November 23, 2020, counsel for Ms. Mazzola filed an Amended Complaint in this action, dropping Mr. Cerny and adding Prime EFS,
LLC as a party. The new pleading demands $209,000 rather than the $94,000 in damages previously alleged. The new complaint alleges
three claims: breach of contract against Prime EFS, alter ego liability against the company, and unjust enrichment against both
the Company and Prime EFS. Ms. Mazzola also demands legal fees and expenses under a prevailing-party provision in the Amended
Stock Purchase Agreement.
On
January 29, 2021, both TLSI and Prime EFS, LLC timely moved to the dismiss the Amended Complaint. Opposition and reply papers
on this motion are due in February 2021.
Both
defendants believe the complaint in this matter lacks merit and intend to mount a vigorous defense to the action.
As
of September 30, 2020, this $94,000 liability is included in due to related parties on the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheet.
Prime
EFS v. Amazon Logistics, Inc.
As
previously reported, on June 19, 2020, Amazon notified Prime EFS that Amazon does not intend to renew the In-Force Agreement when
it expires. In the Prime EFS Termination Notice, Amazon stated that the In-Force Agreement expires on September 30, 2020. Prime
EFS believed on advice of counsel that Amazon’s position misconstrued the expiration date under the In-Force Agreement.
Prime EFS therefore filed an arbitration at the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) seeking temporary,
preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief prohibiting Amazon from terminating the In-Force Agreement prior to March 31, 2021
(the “Amazon Arbitration”).

In
a ruling issued July 30, 2020, the arbitrator appointed by the AAA on an emergency basis affirmed the validity of Amazon’s
construction of the In-Force Agreement and notice terminating that agreement effective September 30, 2020. The Company concluded,
on advice of counsel, that no court would suspend, vacate or modify the July 30, 2020, ruling.
Also
as previously disclosed, on July 17, 2020, Amazon notified Shypdirect by the Shypdirect Termination Notice that Amazon had elected
to terminate the Program Agreement between Amazon and Shypdirect effective as of November 14, 2020.
Amazon
did not state a reason for the Shypdirect Termination Notice. Under the Program Agreement, Amazon can terminate the agreement
without a reason and solely for convenience on 120 days’ notice.
In
a “Separation Agreement” dated August 23, 2020, by and among Amazon, Prime EFS and the Company, Prime EFS and the
Company agreed, for nominal consideration, that the Delivery Service Partner Program Agreement between Amazon and Prime EFS would
terminate effective September 30, 2020; that Prime EFS and the Company would cooperate in an orderly transition of the last-mile
delivery business from Prime EFS to other service providers; that Prime EFS would return any and all vehicles leased from Element
Fleet Corporation by October 7, 2020 in good repair; and that Prime EFS would dismiss the Amazon Arbitration with prejudice. Under
the same Separation Agreement, Prime EFS and the Company released any and all claims they had against Amazon and covenant not
to sue Amazon. In a “Settlement and Release Agreement” dated August 21, 2020, by and among Amazon, Shypdirect, Prime
EFS and the Company, Amazon withdrew the Shypdirect Termination Notice and extended the term of the Program Agreement to and including
May 14, 2021. In the Settlement and Release Agreement, Shypdirect released any and all claims it had against Amazon, arising under
the Program Agreement between Amazon and Shypdirect effective as of November 14, 2020, or otherwise.
Default
by Prime EFS on June 4, 2020 Settlement with Creditors
On
June 4, 2020, Prime EFS LLC (“Prime EFS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, agreed with two related
creditors (the “Creditors”) to a payment plan (the “Payment Plan”) to settle, without interest,
a total outstanding balance of $2,038,556.06 (the “Outstanding Balance”) owed by Prime EFS to the Creditors.
Pursuant
to the Payment Plan, Prime EFS was obligated to pay $75,000.00 to the Creditors on or before June 5, 2020 and $75,000.00 to the
Creditors on or before June 12, 2020.
Thereafter,
under the Payment Plan, beginning on June 19, 2020, Prime EFS was obligated to make weekly payments of $15,000.00 to the Creditors
each Friday for 125 weeks ending with a final payment of $13,556.06 on November 18, 2022.
Under
the Payment Plan, Prime EFS also agreed that, if it fails to make a scheduled payment or otherwise defaults on its obligations,
the remaining Outstanding Balance would be accelerated and due, in full, within five business days after receipt by Prime EFS
of a notice of default from the Creditors.
Under
the Payment Plan, Prime EFS also agreed that, if Prime EFS does not pay the remaining Outstanding Balance within five business
days after receipt of a notice of default, then the Creditors will be entitled to 9% per annum simple interest on the remaining
Outstanding Balance from the date of default and to recover attorneys’ fees and costs for enforcement.
Prime
EFS made the $75,000 payments due on each of June 5, 2020 and June 12, 2020.
Prime
EFS also made each of the weekly payments due through Friday, September 18, 2020. However, Prime EFS did not make the payment
due Friday, September 25, 2020, did not make any further weekly payment due under the Payment Plan, and has no present plan or
intention to make any further payments under the Payment Plan because it lacks the cash-on-hand to do so.
By
letter dated October 16, 2020, attorneys for the Creditors gave Prime EFS notice of default (the “Notice of Default”)
under the settlement agreement that documents the Payment Plan and related terms and conditions. The Notice of Default correctly
states that Prime EFS did not make the payment due under the Payment Plan on September 25, 2020 and has not made any further weekly
payments since September 25, 2020. The Notice of Default correctly demands, under the settlement agreement that documents the
Payment Plan and related terms and conditions, that, as of the day of Prime EFS’s default, Prime EFS owed the Creditors
$1,678,556.06, which is accrued on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance at September 30, 2020. In the Notice of Default,
the Creditors reserve the right to institute legal proceedings against Prime EFS for its defaults under the Payment Plan, to seek
default interest at 9% per annum and to seek the Creditors’ costs of collection.
To
date, Prime EFS has not responded to the Notice of Default and has no present plan or intention to respond.

Dispute
between Patrick Nicholson and Prime EFS
By
letter dated October 9, 2020, attorneys representing Patrick Nicholson allege that Prime EFS is in default of its payment obligations
under a “10% Senior Secured Demand Promissory Note” issued February 13, 2019, in the principal amount of $165,000,
and under a second promissory note issued April 24, 2019 in the principal amount of $55,000.
In
the demand, the attorneys for Mr. Nicholson allege the total balance owed, including interest, is $332,702.84 and that interest
is continuing to accrue on each promissory note.
In
the demand, the attorneys for Mr. Nicholson also contend that the Company is jointly and severally liable with Prime EFS for this
balance.
In
the demand, the attorneys for Mr. Nicholson also contend that the great bulk ($276,169) of the alleged balance due arises under
the “10% Senior Secured Demand Promissory Note” issued February 13, 2019. However, this promissory note is, by its
express terms, governed by New York law, and, in the opinion of Prime EFS’s counsel, such note is usurious on the face of
it and unenforceable.
Further,
in the opinion of counsel, formed after reasonable inquiry, neither promissory note is enforceable against any person or entity
other than Prime EFS. If, as threatened, Mr. Nicholson files suit for non-payment under either or both promissory notes, it is
anticipated that the defendant(s) will mount a vigorous defense to the action.
Inter
alia because Mr. Nicholson has not filed an action on this claim, it is not possible to evaluate the likelihood that he will
do so, nor is it possible to evaluate the likelihood of a favorable or unfavorable outcome, nor is it possible to estimate the
amount or range of any potential loss in the matter.
Jose
R. Mercedes-Mejia v. Shypdirect LLC, Prime EFS LLC et al.
On
August 4, 2020, an action was filed against Shypdirect, Prime EFS and others in the Superior Court of New Jersey for Bergen County
captioned Jose R. Mercedes-Mejia v. Shypdirect LLC, Prime EFS LLC et al. The case was assigned docket number BER-L-004534-20.
In this action, the plaintiff seeks reimbursement of his medical expenses and damages for personal injuries following an accident
with a box truck leased by Prime EFS and being driven by a Prime EFS employee, in which the plaintiff’s ankle was injured.
Plaintiff has thus far transmitted medical bills exceeding $789,000. Prime EFS and Shypdirect have demanded their vehicle liability
carrier assume the defense of this action. To date, the carrier has not done so, allegedly inter alia because the box truck
was not on the list of insured vehicles at the time of the accident.
On
November 9, 2020, Prime EFS and Shypdirect filed their answer to the complaint in this action and also filed a third-party
action against the insurance company in an effort to obtain defense and indemnity for this action. We intend to vigorously defend
against this claim and to pursue the coverage action. However, the Company cannot evaluate the likelihood of an adverse outcome
or estimate its liability, if any, in connection with this claim.
Valesky
v. Prime EFS and Frank Mazzola
Plaintiff,
an ex-dispatcher for Prime EFS, brought this action in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey under the Family
and Medical Leave Act of 1993 and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
Plaintiff alleges the she was fired while still in a neck brace. On December 22, 2020, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint
in this action adding the Company and ShypDirect as defendants on joint employer and/or alter ego theories. On January 11, 2021,
the Company and ShypDirect filed an answer to the amended complaint, denying liability as to all theories of relief. A settlement
conference was held in this matter on January 28, 2021, at which the case was settled, subject to documentation, for a payment
by Prime EFS of $35,000.
Ynes
Accilien v. Prime EFS
This
action was brought on April 27, 2020 in the Superior Court of New Jersey for Bergen County by the plaintiff alleging injuries
from a May 12, 2019 collision with a van leased by Prime EFS and operated by Prime EFS employees. The plaintiff has also filed
a workers’ compensation claim. Prime EFS’s insurer has been defending this matter without charging Prime EFS, and
the Company and Prime EFS expect that the insurer will ultimately indemnify Prime EFS for any damages assessed.
Other
than discussed above, as of September 30, 2020, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected
to have a material effect on results of our operations.
Consulting
Agreement
The
Company retained the services of a consultant, Ascentaur, LLC (“Ascentaur”), pursuant to a Consulting Agreement between
the Company and Ascentaur dated February 21, 2020, as amended (the “Consulting Agreement”). Under the Consulting Agreement,
Sebastian Giordano, the CEO and principal of Ascentaur, provides management services to the Company in the role of chief executive
under direction of the Board. Mr. Giordano devotes the majority of his business attention to the Company, but he may spend time
on other business ventures. The Consulting Agreement runs until January 31, 2023 (“Termination Date”), unless earlier
terminated by an employment agreement between Mr. Giordano and the Company. As consideration for Mr. Giordano’s services,
Ascentaur receives a base consulting fee of $300,000 annually, payable in installments of $12,500 twice a month and is eligible
for bonuses based on certain Company revenue, EBITDA, market capitalization or capital raise milestones. In addition, upon approval
by the Board, Ascentaur received stock warrants to purchase up to 25,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise
price of $0.06 per share. Mr. Giordano is also eligible for the Company’s standard medical and dental plans. Upon any termination
of the Consulting Agreement by the Company without “Cause,” by Mr. Giordano for “Good Reason,” or by expiration
and non-renewal of the Consulting Agreement as of the Termination, Mr. Giordano will receive (i) a separation payment equal to
one year’s worth of the base consulting fee, (ii) all accrued and unpaid bonuses and (iii) accelerated vesting of all unvested
options he may have received. The Company and Mr. Giordano have also, as required by Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.751, entered
into an Indemnity Agreement (the “Indemnity Agreement”) whereby the Company indemnifies Mr. Giordano and Ascentaur,
to the fullest extent as provided by Nevada corporate law, for all fees, costs and charges (including attorneys’ fees) for
any actual or threatened claims against him, except to the extent that Mr. Giordano’s actions constituted gross negligence;
criminal, fraudulent or reckless misconduct; or, with respect to any criminal actions, Mr. Giordano had reasonable cause to believe
his actions were unlawful.

adopting ASC Topic 842, Leases (Topic 842), the Company has elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permit
it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct
costs (see Note 2). In addition, the Company elected not to apply ASC Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 month or
less.

the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, one customer, Amazon, represented 97.5% and 99.1% of the Company’s total
net revenues. At September 30, 2020, two customers represented 79.5% and 16.4% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance,
respectively. On June 19, 2020, Amazon notified Prime EFS in writing that Amazon does not intend to renew the In-Force Agreement
when that agreement expires. In the Prime EFS Termination Notice, Amazon stated that the In-Force Agreement expires on September
30, 2020. Additionally, on July 17, 2020, Amazon notified Shypdirect that Amazon had elected to terminate the Program Agreement
between Amazon and Shypdirect effective as of November 14, 2020. However, on August 3, 2020, Amazon offered pursuant to the Aug.
3 Proposal to withdraw the Shypdirect Termination Notice and extend the term of the Program Agreement to and including May 14,
2021, conditioned on Prime EFS executing, for nominal consideration, a separation agreement with Amazon under which Prime EFS
agrees to cooperate in an orderly transition of its Amazon last-mile delivery business to other service providers, Prime EFS releases
any and all claims it may have against Amazon, and Prime EFS covenants not to sue Amazon. On August 4, 2020, the Company, Prime
EFS and Shypdirect accepted the Aug. 3 Proposal. Approximately 58.5% and 39.0% of the Company’s revenue of $23,503,384 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was attributable to Prime EFS’s last-mile DSP business and Shypdirect’s mid-mile
and long-haul business with Amazon. respectively. The termination of the Amazon last-mile business will have a material adverse
impact on the Company’s business in the 4th fiscal quarter of 2020 and thereafter. If the Amazon mid-mile and long-haul
business is discontinued after May 14, 2021 it would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business in 2nd fiscal
quarter of 2021 and thereafter.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company rented delivery vans and trucks from a limited number of vendors.
Any shortage of supply of vans and trucks available to rent to the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
business, financial condition and results of operations.
All
revenues are derived from customers in the United States.
NOTE
13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Issuance
of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock
To
consummate the Series E Offering, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) created the Series E
Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E”) pursuant to the authority vested in the Board by the Company’s
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to issue up to 10,000,0000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share,
of which 7,049,999 are unissued and undesignated. The Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation explicitly
authorize the Board to issue any or all of such shares of preferred stock in one (1) or more classes or series and to fix the
designations, powers, preferences and rights, the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights,
dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number
of shares constituting any class or series, without further vote or action by the stockholders.
On
October 6, 2020, the Board filed the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series E Convertible
Preferred Stock (the “Series E COD”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada designating 562,250
shares of preferred stock as Series E. Each holder of Series E has the right to cast the number of votes equal to the number of
whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series E held by such holder are convertible as of the applicable record
date.
The
Series E has a stated value of $13.34 per share (the “Stated Value”). If, on or after October 8, 2021, the
Company does not have at least one class of securities listed on the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global
Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange (subject to extension if the Company has an application
pending for such a listing) the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Series E may demand that their Series E be redeemed
at a price equal to the Stated Value per share plus all declared but unpaid dividends thereon.
On
a pari passu basis with the holders of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock that is currently issued and outstanding, upon the
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Series E is entitled
to receive an amount per share equal to the Stated Value and then receive a pro-rata portion of the remaining assets available
for distribution to the holders of Common Stock on an as-converted to Common Stock basis. Until the date that such Series E shareholder
no longer owns at least 50% of the Series E, the holders of Series E have the right to participate, pro rata, in each subsequent
financing in an amount up to 25% of the total proceeds of such financing on the same terms, conditions and price otherwise available
in such subsequent financing.
Subject
to a beneficial ownership limitation and customary adjustments for stock dividends and stock splits, each share of Series E is
initially convertible the Company’s common shares equal to the sum of (i) 1,000 multiplied by (ii) a fraction (A) the numerator
if which is $0.01334 and (B) the denominator of which is equal to the conversion price in effect at the time of conversion. The
initial conversion price of $0.01334 and is subject to adjustment for stock dividends and stock splits and dilutive issuances
as defined in the Series E COD. A holder of Series E may not convert any shares of Series E into Common Stock if the holder (together
with the holder’s affiliates and any persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates)
would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect
to the conversion, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Series E COD. However, upon
notice from the holder to the Company, the holder may decrease or increase the beneficial ownership limitation, which may not
exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage
ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Series E COD, provided that any such increase or decrease in the beneficial
ownership limitation will not take effect until 61 days following notice to the Company.

NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September
30, 2020
Upon
the occurrence of certain triggering events and until such triggering event is cured, each share of Series E will be convertible
into 2,779.17 shares of Common Stock subject to the limitation described in the preceding paragraph. Triggering events include,
but are not limited to, (1) failure to satisfy Rule 144 current public information requirements; (2) ceasing to be a reporting
company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or failing to comply with
the reporting requirements of a reporting company under the Exchange Act; (3) suspension from or termination of trading; (4) failure
to reserve sufficient shares of Common Stock (after cure periods and subject to certain extensions); (5) various insolvency proceedings
(subject to certain carveouts); (6) material breach of the Series E Offering transaction documents; and (7) failure to redeem
the Series E when demanded.
Approval
of at least a majority of the outstanding Series E is required to: (a) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision
to, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or bylaws, or file any Certificate of Designation (however such document is
named) or articles of amendment to create any class or any series of preferred stock, if such action would adversely alter or
change in any respect the preferences, rights, privileges or powers, or restrictions provided for the benefit, of the Series E,
regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws or by merger,
consolidation or otherwise or filing any Certificate of Designation, but the creation of a new security having rights, preferences
or privileges senior to or on parity with the Series E in a future financing will not constitute an amendment, addition, alteration,
filing, waiver or repeal for these purposes; (b) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized number of Series
E; (c) issue any Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, (d) issue any Series E in excess of 562,250 or (e) without limiting any
provision under the Series E COD, whether or not prohibited by the terms of the Series E, circumvent a right of the Series E.
On
October 8, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the investors party thereto (collectively the “Investors”)
pursuant to which the Investors agreed to purchase units, severally and not jointly, which consists of an aggregate of (i) 47,977
shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E”) and (ii) warrants (the “Warrants”) to
purchase 23,988,500 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) which are equal to 50%
of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E if the Series E were converted on October 8, 2020 (the
“Series E Offering”). The gross proceeds to the Company were $640,000, or $13.34 per unit which is the stated value
of each Series E share.
In
connection with the Series E Offering, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which the Company
agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-1 to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable to the Investors
upon conversion of the Series E and exercise of the Warrants. If a registration statement registering for resale all of the shares
of common stock issuable under Series E Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants (i) is not filed with the Commission by the Company
within 30 days of the closing date of October 8, 2020 or any other registration statement, (ii) is not declared effective by the
Commission by the Effectiveness Date of the initial registration statement (90 days following the closing date) or any other registration
statement, or (iii) after the effective date of a registration statement, such registration statement ceases for any reason to
remain continuously effective as to all registrable securities included in such registration statement for more than 30 calendar
days during any 12-month period (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”, and the date on
which such Event occurs, being referred to as “Event Date”), then, in addition to any other rights the Holders
may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if
the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each
Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1% of the purchase price paid by such Holder
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, during which such Event continues uncured. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the
terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event. The Company did not
file its registration statement with 30 days of the closing date. However, the Company plans on filing they registration statement
prior to the Event Date.
The
initial exercise price of the Warrants is $0.04 per share, subject to adjustment as provided therein.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(i)
|
To
include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

|
To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most

to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
at the termination of the offering.
(4)
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
If
the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating
to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A,
shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.
Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part
of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify
any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in
any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial
distribution of the securities:
The
undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or
sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser
and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)
|
Any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant
to Rule 424;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
Any
free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred
to by the undersigned registrant;
|
|
|
(iii)
|
The
portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned
registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
|
|
|
(iv)
|
Any
other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
|
For
the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form
of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(h)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
