NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had cash of $204 and a working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $63,249,469. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the net loss available to common stockholders was $47,193,938 and net cash used in operating activities was $225,541. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company received proceeds of $200,000 and $24,647 from the issuance of preferred stock 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 increase 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 unaudited 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The unaudited 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 2021. 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 2021.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited 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 unaudited 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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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

Revenues are accounted for under ASC Topic 606, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers” (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 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 purchase orders, including significant judgments.

In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following:

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 recognizes revenue pro rata over the contract term and any unearned revenue is deferred to future periods. 

Based on the nature of the Company’s revenue streams, revenues generally do not require significant estimates or judgments. 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.

Advertising

The Company charges the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. Advertising costs were $18,553 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, 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’s 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.

Beneficial Conversion Features and Deemed Dividends

The Company records a beneficial conversion feature for preferred stock when, on the date of issuance, the conversion rate is less than the Company’s stock price. The Company also records, when necessary, a contingent beneficial conversion resulting from price protection of the conversion price of preferred stock, based on the change in the intrinsic value of the conversion options embedded in such preferred stock.

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; (iii) the settlement of warrant provisions, based on the fair value of the common shares issued; and (iv) amortization of discount on preferred stock resulting from recognition of a beneficial conversion feature.

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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 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 Common 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 includes 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. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share excludes potentially dilutive securities when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period.

Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:

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 unaudited 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 unaudited 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.

Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0.

NOTE 9 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

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 has 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 has 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 year ended December 31, 2020, (i) the noteholder converted $37,000 of principal into an aggregate of 31,109,551 shares of common stock; and (ii) $1,049,329 of accrued interest was reclassified to the principal balance of this note. On January 20, 2021, the noteholder converted $13,345 of principal into an aggregate of 4,448,251 shares of common stock, having a fair value of $133,002, resulting in a reduction of the derivative liability by $118,778 and a loss on conversion of $880. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the remaining carrying value of the note was $2,878,985 and $2,892,330, respectively. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accrued interest payable of $1,239,145 and $1,073,809, respectively, was outstanding on the note.

On January 25, 2019, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $55,000 (including original issuance discount of $5,000) that matured July 25, 2019 and bearing a one-time interest fee of 10%. The investor has 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 $0.075 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 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 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%. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the remaining carrying value of the note was $55,000. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accrued interest payable of $101,600 and $92,600, respectively, was outstanding on the note.

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

Upon the issuance of certain convertible debentures, warrants, and preferred stock, the Company determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option embedded in the debentures, 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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, upon issuance of the instruments underlying the derivative liabilities and upon revaluation (immediately prior to conversion of the underlying instrument), 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 133.69% to 138.10%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.02% to 0.09%, and (4) expected life of 0.06 to 1.85 years.

On March 31, 2021, the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $50,558,285 using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 137.94%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.01% to 0.16%, and (4) expected life of 0.08 to 1.84 years.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, upon issuance of the instruments underlying the derivative liabilities and upon revaluation (immediately prior to conversion of the underlying instrument), 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 128.94%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.06% to 1.56%, and (4) expected life of 0.06 to 2.11 years.

On December 31, 2020, the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $25,475,514 using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 132.11%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.08% to 0.13%, and (4) expected life of 0.04 to 2.08 years.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 825-10. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance. ASC 825-10 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. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

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 above. 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.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following items as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2021: 

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.
