NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S
LIQUIDITY PLANS
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had cash
of $650 and a working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $148,520,352. During the six months
ended June 30, 2020, the net loss available to common stockholders was $207,085,114 and net
cash used in operating activities was $492,544. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020,
the Company received proceeds of $432,000 and $110,000 from the issuance of convertible notes and non-convertible notes, respectively.
The Company does not have sufficient cash to fund operations for the next fiscal year.
The Company’s primary source of operating
funds since inception has been cash proceeds from the public and private placements of the Company’s securities, including
debt and equity securities, and proceeds from the exercise of warrants and options. The Company has experienced net losses and
negative cash flows from operations since inception and expects these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future. The
Company’s ability to continue its operations is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional capital through public or
private equity offerings, debt financings or other sources; however, financing
may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. The Company’s failure to raise capital as and when needed
could have a negative impact on its financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategy, and the Company may be
forced to curtail or cease operations.
Management’s
plans regarding these matters encompass the following actions: 1) obtain funding from new and current investors to alleviate the
Company’s working capital deficiency; and 2) implement a plan to generate revenues. The Company’s continued existence
is dependent upon its ability to translate its audience into revenues. However,
the outcome of management’s plans cannot be determined with any degree of certainty.
Accordingly, the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of
assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for one year from the date the condensed consolidated financial
statements are issued. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements
do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.
In March 2020, the
World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread,
and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies, and financial markets
globally, leading to an economic downturn. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. It is
not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak of COVID-19 and its effects on
our business including our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations at this time. Management is actively monitoring
the global situation and its impact on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, operations, customers, industry, and
workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able
to estimate the effects that the COVID-19 outbreak will have on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for
fiscal year 2020. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has experienced delays in securing new customers
and related revenues and the longer this pandemic continues there may be additional impacts. Furthermore, the COVID-19 outbreak
has and may continue to impact the Company’s ability to raise capital.
Although the Company
cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak at this time, if the pandemic continues, it may have
a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, liquidity, and capital resources,
and those of the third parties on which the Company relies in fiscal year 2020.
NOTE 3 –
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of MassRoots, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”)
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Significant estimates include stock-based compensation, fair values relating to derivative liabilities, fair
value of payroll tax liabilities, deemed dividends and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may
differ from these estimates.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
The Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 825-10, “Financial Instruments”
(“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The estimated fair value of
certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at historical cost basis, which
approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets,
financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial
statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk
and credit risk.
The Company follows ASC 825-10, which permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.
Cash
For purposes of the
condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no cash equivalents. The Company
maintains its cash in banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in accounts that at times may be in excess of
the federally insured limit of $250,000 per bank. The Company minimizes this risk by placing its cash deposits with major financial
institutions. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the uninsured balances amounted to $0.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost
and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of three to five years. Repair and maintenance
costs are expensed as incurred. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings.
Accounts Receivable
and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company monitors
outstanding receivables based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on an assessment of the Company’s ability to collect on customer accounts
receivable. There is judgment involved with estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, and if the financial condition of the
Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make the required payments, the Company may be required
to record additional allowances or charges against revenues. The Company writes-off accounts receivable against the allowance when
it determines a balance is uncollectible and no longer actively pursues its collection.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when services
are realized or realizable and earned less estimated future doubtful accounts.
The Company’s
revenues are accounted for under ASC Topic 606, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers” (“ASC 606”) and
generally do not require significant estimates or judgments based on the nature of the Company’s revenue streams. The sales
prices are generally fixed at the point of sale and all consideration from contracts is included in the transaction price. The
Company’s contracts do not include multiple performance obligations or material variable consideration.
In accordance with ASC 606, the Company
recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. MassRoots recognizes revenue in accordance
with that core principle by applying the following:
|
(i)
|
Identify
the contract(s) with a customer;
|
|
(ii)
|
Identify
the performance obligation in the contract;
|
|
(iii)
|
Determine
the transaction price;
|
|
(iv)
|
Allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
|
|
(v)
|
Recognize
revenue when (or as) MassRoots satisfies a performance obligation.
|
The Company primarily
generates revenue by charging businesses to advertise on the Company’s website and social media channels. In cases where
clients enter advertising contracts for an extended period of time, the Company only recognizes revenue for services provided during
that quarter and defers the remaining unearned revenue to future periods.
Advertising
The Company charges the costs of advertising to expense as incurred.
Advertising costs were $0 and $36,365 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation
expense is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is expensed over the requisite service period. For stock-based
awards to employees, non-employees and directors, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date under this model requires
judgment, including estimating volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors and forfeiture rates. The assumptions used
in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent the Company’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent
uncertainties and the application of management judgment.
Income Taxes
The Company follows
ASC Subtopic 740-10, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets
and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or
settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period.
If available evidence
suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation
allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes
in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes
may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes
in different periods.
Convertible Instruments
U.S. GAAP requires
companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as freestanding derivative financial
instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks
of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host
contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured
at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings
as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative
instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under
ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity.”
When the Company has
determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, the Company records, when
necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon
the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective
conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt
to their stated date of redemption using the effective interest method.
Deemed Dividends and Beneficial Conversion Features
The Company records, when necessary, deemed
dividends for: (i) warrant price protection, based on the difference between the fair value of the warrants immediately before
and after the repricing (inclusive of any full ratchet provisions); (ii) the exchange of preferred shares for convertible notes,
based on the amount of the face value of the convertible notes in excess of the carrying value of the preferred shares; and (iii)
the settlement of warrant provisions, based on the fair value of the common shares issued. The Company also records, when necessary,
a contingent beneficial conversion resulting from price protection of the conversion price of Series A Preferred Stock, based on
the change in the intrinsic value of the conversion options embedded in such preferred stock.
Derivative Financial
Instruments
The Company classifies
as equity any contracts that: (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement; or (ii) provide the Company with a choice
of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) providing that such contracts
are indexed to the Company’s own stock. The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that: (i) require net-cash
settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the Company’s
control); or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share
settlement). The Company assesses classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other freestanding derivatives at each
reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.
The Company’s
freestanding derivatives consisted of warrants to purchase common stock that were issued in connection with the issuance of debt
and the sale of common shares, and of embedded conversion options within convertible notes. The Company evaluated these derivatives
to assess their proper classification in the balance sheet as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 using the applicable classification
criteria enumerated under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The Company determined that certain embedded conversion
and/or exercise features did not contain fixed settlement provisions. The convertible notes contained a conversion feature such
that the Company could not ensure it would have adequate authorized shares to meet all possible conversion demands.
As such, the Company
was required to record the derivatives which do not have fixed settlement provisions as liabilities and mark to market all such
derivatives to fair value at the end of each reporting period. The Company also records derivative liabilities for instruments,
including convertible notes, preferred stock, and warrants, in which the Company does not have sufficient authorized shares to
cover the conversion of these instruments into shares of common stock.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews
its property and equipment and any identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The test for impairment is required to be performed by management
at least annually. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset
to the future undiscounted operating cash flow expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired,
the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the
asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Intangible
assets are stated at cost and reviewed annually to examine any impairments, usually assuming an estimated useful life of three
to five years. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the
respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings.
Indefinite Lived
Intangibles and Goodwill
The Company accounts
for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,”
where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based
on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted,
up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities
assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible
assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.
The Company tests
indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments
are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the
Chief Executive Officer, or decision-making group, in deciding the method to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company
currently has one reportable segment for financial reporting purposes, which represents the Company’s core business.
Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share
is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially
dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods, as applicable.
Potentially dilutive
securities outstanding at June 30, 2020 and 2019 were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because the
effects would have been anti-dilutive. The convertible notes, options and warrants are considered to be common stock equivalents
and are only included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share when their effect is dilutive.
Potentially dilutive
securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications
have been made to the prior years’ data to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect
on reported income (losses).
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU
2020-06, which simplifies the guidance on accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the separation models for
(1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As
a result, the Company will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt. Instead, we will
account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. We expect the elimination
of these models will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for the Company’s convertible
instruments falling under the scope of those models before the adoption of ASU 2020-06. Also, ASU 2020-06 requires the
application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method will be no
longer available. The provisions of ASU 2020-06 are applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early
adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of ASU 2020-06 on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the
FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework
- Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 removes certain
disclosure requirements, including the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy,
the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13
also adds disclosure requirements, including changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive
income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements, and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used
to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, and the range and weighted
average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, should be applied prospectively for
only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be
applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. ASU 2018-13 became effective for us on January 1, 2020.
The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related
disclosures.
There are other various
updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific
industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

and 2019 was $0 and $2,471, respectively.
NOTE 5 – ADVANCES AND NON-CONVERTIBLE
NOTES PAYABLE
During the six months ended June 30, 2020
and 2019, the Company received aggregate proceeds from advances of $0 and $140,000 and repaid an aggregate of $0 and $58,150, respectively,
of advances. The advances were primarily for Simple Agreements for Future Tokens, entered into with accredited investors issued
pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue of Section
4(a)(2) thereof and/or Regulation D thereunder in 2017 and 2018. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company
owed $337,500 and $337,500 in principal and $10,500 and $10,500 in accrued interest, respectively.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company received proceeds from the issuance of non-convertible notes of $110,000
and $0 and repaid an aggregate of $37,250 and $0, respectively, of non-convertible notes. The non-convertible notes have maturity
dates ranging from March 18, 2019 to June 26, 2022 and accrue interest at rates ranging from 0% to 36% per
annum. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company owed $243,500 and $165,750 in principal and $226,272 and $158,143
in accrued interest, respectively.
NOTE 6 –
ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019,
the Company owed accounts payable and accrued expenses of $6,868,603 and $5,455,063, respectively. These are primarily comprised
of payments to vendors, accrued interest on debt, and accrued legal bills.
NOTE 7 – ACCRUED PAYROLL AND RELATED
EXPENSES
The Company is delinquent in filing its
payroll taxes, primarily related to stock compensation awards in 2016 and 2017, but also including payroll for 2018, 2019, and
2020. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company owed payroll tax liabilities, including penalties, of $3,786,790 and
$3,724,050, respectively, to federal and state taxing authorities. The actual liability may be higher or lower due to interest
or penalties assessed by federal and state taxing authorities. The Company expects to settle these liabilities by December 31,
2020.
NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, the
Company is occasionally involved in lawsuits incidental to its business, including litigation related to its convertible notes. Although
it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these cases, management believes that any ultimate liability would not have
a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial condition or results of operations. However,
any unforeseen unfavorable development in any of these cases could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed
consolidated financial condition. The Company records the potential effects on operations or cash flows in the period in which
such effects are probable and reasonably estimable.
On October 11, 2019, Power Up Lending Group,
Ltd. (“Power Up”) filed a complaint against the Company and Isaac Dietrich, an officer and director of the Company,
in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau. The complaint alleges, among other things, (i) the occurrence
of events of default in certain notes (the “Power Up Notes”) issued by the Company to Power Up, (ii) misrepresentations
by the Company including, but not limited to, with respect to the Company’s obligation to timely file its required reports
with the SEC and (iii) lost profits as a result of the Company’s failure to convert the Power Up Notes in accordance with
the terms thereof. In addition, the complaint alleges, among other things, that Mr. Dietrich took affirmative steps to deliberately
cause the Company to breach its financial obligations. As a result of the foregoing, Power Up has requested: (i) the greater of
$312,000 and the “parity value” as such term is defined in the Power Up Notes together with $2,000 per day until the
Company issues shares upon conversion of the Power Up Notes together with applicable interest thereon; (ii) $165,000 as a result
of the misrepresentations; (iii) an amount of lost profits to be determined by the court, but in no event less than $312,000; (iv)
$312,000 as against Mr. Dietrich; (v) an award for reasonable legal fees and costs of litigation; (vi) a judgment awarding specific
performance under the Power Up Notes; and (vii) the costs and disbursement of the action, pre-judgment interest, default interest
and such other further relief as the court deems proper.
NOTE 9 –
CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
On July 5, 2018, the
Company issued secured convertible notes to certain accredited investors in the aggregate principal amount of $1,650,000. The notes
matured on January 5, 2019 and accrued no interest. Net proceeds received by the Company were $1,492,500 after deduction of legal
and other fees. During 2019, the remaining principal amount of $390,000 and accrued interest of $22,831 were converted into shares
of the Company’s common stock.
In connection with
the issuance of the July 2018 notes, the Company and the investors also entered into a security agreement pursuant to which the
notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company held as of July 5, 2018 and acquired thereafter. The Company also issued
five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,600,000 shares of Company’s common stock with an initial exercise price
of $0.25. The warrants contain certain anti-dilutive provisions.
On December 17,
2018, the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $2,225,000 (including an original issuance
discount of $225,000) that matured on December 17, 2019 and bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum (which increased to 22% on
July 16, 2019 upon the occurrence of an event of default). The note is secured by the Security Agreement (as defined below). The
investor shall have the right to convert the Outstanding Balance (as defined in the note) of the note at any time into shares of
common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.35 per share, subject to adjustment. Commencing on June 17, 2019, the investor
shall have the right to redeem all or any portion of the note; provided, however, the investor may not request redemption in an
amount that exceeds $350,000 during any single calendar month; provided, further however, upon the occurrence of an event of default,
the redemption amount in any calendar month may exceed $350,000. Payments on redemption amounts may be made in cash, by converting
the redemption amount into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of the lesser of: (a) $0.35 per share,
subject to adjustment; and (b) the Market Price (as defined in the note), or a combination thereof. Upon the occurrence of an event
of default, the investor may accelerate the note pursuant to which the Outstanding Balance will become immediately due and payable
in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount (as defined in the note). The Company is prohibited from effecting a conversion of the
note to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the investor, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more
than 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 upon conversion of the note, which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased by the investor up
to, but not exceeding, 9.99%.
In connection with the December 2018 note,
the Company also entered into a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) on the closing date pursuant to which
the Company granted the investor a security interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement). On July 16,
2019, the Company received a notice from the noteholder indicating that events of default had occurred and asserting default penalties
of $761,330. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the noteholder converted $345,000 of principal into an aggregate of 53,522,295
shares of common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the noteholder converted $37,000 of principal into an aggregate
of 31,109,551 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the remaining carrying value of the note was $1,843,000
and $1,880,000, respectively, net of debt discount of $0. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, accrued interest payable of
$1,548,666 and $1,327,110, respectively, was outstanding on the note.
From
January to June 2019, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $389,000 (including
aggregate original issuance discount of $39,000) that matured at dates ranging from July 15, 2019 to June 6, 2020 and accruing
interest at rates ranging from 5% to 12% per annum. The investors shall have the right to convert the Outstanding Balance (as
defined in the notes) of the notes at any time into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.075 per share,
subject to adjustment. Upon maturity, payment may be made in cash, by converting the redemption amount into shares of the Company’s
common stock at a conversion price of the lesser of: (a) $0.075 per share, subject to adjustment; and (b) the Market Price (as
defined in the notes), or a combination thereof. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the investors may
accelerate the note pursuant to which the Outstanding Balance will become immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory
Default Amount (as defined in the notes). The Company is prohibited from effecting a conversion of any note to the extent that,
as a result of such conversion, the investor, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 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
upon conversion of the note, which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased by the investor up to, but not exceeding, 9.99%.
In January 2020, one of the promissory notes was amended whereby the conversion price for $9,202 which is a portion of the principal
amount of the note was amended to $0.0004 per share. The
amendment was deemed a debt modification and accounted for accordingly. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the noteholders
converted $31,180 of principal and $8,000 of accrued interest into an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of common stock. During the
six months ended June 30, 2020, one of the holders converted $24,826 of principal into an aggregate of 35,005,850 shares of common
stock. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the remaining carrying value of the notes was $332,994 and $247,746, net of debt
discount of $0 and $110,074, respectively. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, accrued interest payable of $642,951 and

original issuance discount of $9,900, resulting in cash proceeds of $99,000. The notes matured on May 13, 2020 and accrue interest
at a rate of 12% per annum. The investors shall have the right to convert the Outstanding Balance (as
defined in the notes) of the notes at any time into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.01 per share,
subject to adjustment. In the event of default, the conversion price shall be 60% of the average of the three lowest closing bid
prices of the Company’s common stock during the 20 days prior to the conversion date. The Company is prohibited from effecting
a conversion of any note to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the investor, together with its affiliates, would
beneficially own more than 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 upon conversion of the note, which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased
if the Market Capitalization falls below $2,500,000, but not exceeding, 9.99%. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the remaining
carrying value of the notes was $108,900 and $14,871, net of debt discount of $0 and $94,029, respectively. As of June 30, 2020

ownership limitation may be increased if the Market Capitalization (as defined in the notes) falls below $2,500,000, but not exceeding,
9.99%. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the remaining carrying value of the notes was $110,000 and $15,027, net of debt
discount of $0 and $94,973, respectively. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, accrued interest payable of $81,886 and $38,904,

Shares”) entered into Exchange Agreements whereby 2,800 Series A Preferred Shares and 1,126 Series B Preferred Shares were
canceled in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of $3,500,000 and $1,548,250 of convertible promissory notes, respectively.
The notes matured at dates ranging from December 24, 2019 to May 18, 2020 and accrue interest at a rate of 12% per annum. The investors
shall have the right to convert the Outstanding Balance (as
defined in the notes) of the notes at any time into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.005 per share,
subject to adjustment. In the event of default, the Outstanding Balance shall immediately increase to 130% of the Outstanding Balance
and a penalty of $100 per day shall accrue until the default is remedied. For a period of two years from the issuance date, in
the event the Company issues or sells any additional common shares or common stock equivalents at a price less than the Conversion
Price (as defined in the notes) then in effect (a “Dilutive Issuance”), the Conversion Price of the notes shall be
reduced to the Dilutive Issuance Price and the number of shares issuable upon conversion shall be increased on a full ratchet basis.
The Company is prohibited from effecting a conversion of any note to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the investor,
together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the note. During
the year ended December 31, 2019, the noteholders converted $185,500 of principal and $300 of accrued interest into an aggregate
of 30,669,903 shares of common stock and 37,160,000 shares of common stock to be issued. During the six months ended June 30, 2020,
the noteholders converted $31,137 of principal and $128 of accrued interest into an aggregate of 6,253,056 shares of common stock.
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the remaining carrying value of the notes was $4,831,613 and $4,781,395, net of debt
discount of $0 and $81,355, respectively. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, accrued interest payable of $2,109,524 and
$1,583,795, respectively, was outstanding on the notes.
From
January to April 2020, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $475,200, having an
aggregate original issuance discount of $43,200, resulting in cash proceeds of $432,000. The notes mature from July 2020
to October 2020 and accrue interest at a rate of 12% per annum. During
the first 180 days the notes are outstanding, the Company shall have the right to prepay the notes for an amount equal to 120%
(during the first 90 days) or 135% (during the subsequent 90 days) of the Outstanding Balance (as defined in the notes) being prepaid.
The investors shall have the right to convert the Outstanding Balance of the notes at any time into shares of common stock of the
Company at a conversion price of $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment. In the event of default, the conversion price shall be
60% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the Company’s common stock during the 20 days prior to the conversion
date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an event of default, the conversion price for the April 2020 notes,
having an aggregate original principal amount of $330,000, shall not be less than $0.001. The Company is prohibited from effecting
a conversion of any note to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the investor, together with its affiliates, would
beneficially own more than 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 upon conversion of the note, which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased
if the Market Capitalization (as defined in the notes) falls below $2,500,000, but not exceeding, 9.99%. As of June 30, 2020, the
remaining carrying value of the notes was $230,585, net of debt discount of $244,615. As of June 30, 2020, accrued interest payable
of $211,653 was outstanding on the notes.
Upon the issuance of certain convertible
notes, the Company determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option embedded in the notes, should be
accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would
be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions.
The Company does not have enough authorized
and unissued common shares to convert all of the convertible promissory notes into common shares. As a result of this authorized
shares shortfall, all of the convertible notes payable, including those where the maturity date has not yet been reached, are in
default. Accordingly, (i) interest has been accrued at the default interest rate, if applicable, and (ii) the embedded conversion
option has been accounted for, at fair value, as a derivative liability (See Note 10).
NOTE 10 –
DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company does not have enough authorized
and unissued common shares to convert all of its outstanding convertible promissory notes into common shares. As a result of this
authorized shares shortfall, the embedded conversion feature in all of the Company’s outstanding convertible notes payable
and convertible preferred shares as well as the Company’s outstanding warrants have been accounted for as derivative liabilities,
at fair value, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future
conversion transactions.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020,
upon issuance of the instruments underlying the derivative liabilities and upon revaluation (immediately prior to conversion),
the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model based on the following assumptions:
(1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 119.33% to 124.60%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.10% to 1.56%, and (4)
expected life of 0.08 to 0.5 years.
On June 30, 2020, the Company estimated
the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $129,886,444 using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model based on the following assumptions:
(1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 126.42%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.05% to 0.29%, and (4) expected life
of 0.02 to 2.84 years.
During the year ended December 31, 2019,
upon issuance of the instruments underlying the derivative liabilities and upon revaluation (immediately prior to conversion),
the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model based on the following assumptions:
(1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 110.59% to 119.18%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 1.48% to 2.33%, and (4)
expected life of 0.01 to 3.0 years.
On December 31, 2019, the Company
estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $20,236,870 using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model based on the following
assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 119.18%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 1.48% to 1.62%, and (4)
expected life of 0.01 to 3.09 years.
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy
that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair
value. An asset’s or liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input
that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair
value:
|
●
|
Level
1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
●
|
Level
2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in
markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant
inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full
term of the assets or liabilities.
|
|
●
|
Level
3 – Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or
liabilities.
|
All items required
to be recorded or measured on a recurring basis are based upon Level 3 inputs.
To the extent that
valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value
requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value
hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement
is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company recognizes
its derivative liabilities as Level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed below. While the Company believes
that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different
methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate
of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods
discussed are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.
At June 30, 2020 and
December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.
Items recorded or
measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements consisted of the following

Fluctuations in the Company’s stock
price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. As the stock price increases/(decreases)
for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument generally increases/(decreases), therefore
increasing/(decreasing) the liability on the Company’s balance sheet. Decreases in the conversion price of the Company’s
convertible notes are another driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. As the conversion
price decreases for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument (especially those with
full ratchet price protection) generally increases, therefore increasing the liability on the Company’s balance sheet. Additionally,
stock price volatility is one of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s
derivative instruments. The simulated fair value of these liabilities is sensitive to changes in the Company’s expected volatility.
Increases in expected volatility would generally result in higher fair value measurements. A 10% change in pricing inputs and changes
in volatilities and correlation factors would not result in a material change in our Level 3 fair value.

The aggregate intrinsic
value of outstanding stock options was $0, based on options with an exercise price less than the Company’s stock price of
$0.0040 as of June 30, 2020, which would have been received by the option holders had those option holders exercised their options
as of that date.
Option valuation models require the input
of highly subjective assumptions. The fair value of stock-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model with a volatility figure derived from historical data. The Company accounts for the expected life of options based on the
contractual life of the options.
The fair value of all options that vested
during the six months ended of June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $0 and $14,000, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense
of $0 at June 30, 2020 will be expensed in future periods.

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion
and analysis in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in Part I, Item 1
of this Quarterly Report. Please also refer to the note about forward-looking information for information on such statements contained
in this Quarterly Report immediately preceding Part I, Item 1.
COVID-19 Pandemic
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization
(“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19 originating in Wuhan,
China (and the risks to the international community as the virus spread globally beyond its point of origin). In March 2020, the
WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.
The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak
continues to evolve as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that
the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively
monitoring the global situation and its impact on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, operations, customers, industry,
and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not
able to estimate the effects that the COVID-19 outbreak will have on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity
for fiscal year 2020.
As
of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has experienced delays in securing new customers and related revenues and
the longer this pandemic continues there may be additional impacts. Furthermore, the COVID-19 outbreak has and may continue to
impact the Company’s ability to raise capital.
Although the Company cannot estimate the
length or gravity of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak at this time, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material adverse
effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, liquidity, and capital resources, and those of
the third parties on which the Company relies in fiscal year 2020.
Overview
MassRoots, Inc. was formed in April 2013
and over the past seven years has partnered with numerous cannabis-related brands to advertise products to its broad following
across its website, MassRoots.com, and social media accounts. Management believes that our YouTube Channel has one of the largest
followings in the regulated cannabis industry with more than 265,000 subscribers while our Instagram account is followed by 387,000
users. Additionally, MassRoots has 920,000 opt-in email subscribers, 172,500 followers on our verified Twitter account, and more
than 200,000 monthly visitors to its website.
For much of our history, MassRoots has focused on building a
technology platform for the cannabis industry. As part of our marketing strategy, we garnered a significant following across web,
social media, and email channels that was highly successful at driving users to our platform.
While our long-term goal remains building a
technology platform for the cannabis industry, we believe it will likely take significant capital to do so. Therefore, we believe
it is in the best interests of our shareholders to focus on monetizing our existing media channels over the coming months with
the goal of generating positive cash-flows from operations.
We are focused on monetizing our audience
through product placements, display ads, and daily deals.
Competitors
We compete with other cannabis platforms
such as WeedMaps and Leafly, which provide news and other information related to the cannabis industry. We believe our primary
competitive advantage is the community and audience we have established, along with the data we have cultivated on key cannabis
markets.

Net Loss Available to Common Stockholders
For the six months ended June 30, 2020
and 2019, we had net losses of $207,085,114 and $7,162,833, respectively, an increase of $199,922,281 for the reasons discussed
above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used in operations for the six
months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $492,544 and $832,718, respectively. This $340,174 decrease was primarily caused by a decrease
in stock-based compensation (non-cash items), an increase in interest and amortization of debt discount, and a decrease in accounts
payable and accrued expenses. Net cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily based on the
utilization of $203,000 in advances to COWA Science Corporation, net of repayments, and the loss for the six months ended June
30, 2019, partially offset by the increase in stock-based compensation (non-cash item), along with increases in accounts payable
and accrued payroll.
Net cash used in investing activities for
the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $0 and $0, respectively.
Net
cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $492,074 and $804,800, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, these funds were derived mainly from proceeds related to the issuance of convertible
and non-convertible notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was derived from
the issuance of convertible notes, advances, sales of preferred shares, and exercise of warrants.
Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had cash
of $650 and working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $148,520,352. During the six months ended
June 30, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $492,544. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Our primary source
of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from the public and private placements of our securities, including debt
securities, and proceeds from the exercise of warrants and options. We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from
operations since inception and expect these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future. For
the foreseeable future, our ability to continue our operations is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional capital through
public or private equity offerings, debt financings or other sources; however, financing may not be available to us on acceptable
terms, or at all. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our
ability to pursue our business strategy and we may be forced to curtail or cease operations.
Management’s
plans regarding these matters encompass the following actions: 1) obtain funding from new and current investors to alleviate our
working capital deficiency; and 2) implement a plan to generate revenues. Our continued existence is dependent upon our ability
to translate our audience into revenues. However, the outcome of our plans cannot be determined with any degree of certainty.
Accordingly, the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business for one year from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are
issued. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily
purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2020, we did not have any
off-balance sheet arrangements.
Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations are included
in our notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
To the extent that funds generated from our operations, together with our existing capital resources, are insufficient to meet
future requirements, we will be required to obtain additional funds through equity or debt financings. No assurance can be given
that any additional financing will be made available to us or will be available on acceptable terms should such a need arise.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
For a discussion of our accounting policies
and related items, please see the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, included in Part I, Item 1 of
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
