PART I

 

Item 1. Business

 

Overview

 

TraQiQ was incorporated in the State of California on September 9, 2009 as Thunderclap Entertainment, Inc. On July 14, 2017, Thunderclap Entertainment, Inc. changed its name to TraQiQ, Inc. On July 19, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with the stockholders of OmniM2M, Inc. (“OmniM2M”) and TraQiQ Solutions, Inc. dba Ci2i Services, Inc. (formerly Ci2i Services, Inc. – amended November 6, 2019) (“Ci2i”) whereby the stockholders of OmniM2M and Ci2i agreed to exchange all of their respective shares, representing 100% ownership in OmniM2M and Ci2i in exchange for 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively. The OmniM2M Shareholders and the Ci2i Shareholders were issued their respective 1,500,000 shares on a pro rata basis based on their respective holdings in OmniM2M and Ci2i in the Share Exchange Agreement. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse merger whereas Ci2i is considered the accounting acquirer and TraQiQ, Inc. is considered the accounting acquiree. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements included the accounts of Ci2i for all periods presented and the accounts of TraQiQ, Inc. and OmniM2M, which was acquired by the Company on July 19, 2017 since the date of acquisition. For accounting purposes, the acquisition of OmniM2M is recorded at historical cost in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 805-50-25-2 as this is considered an acquisition of entities under common control as the management of the Company and OmniM2M control the activities of the respective companies. Prior to the merger with Ci2i and acquisition of OmniM2M, the Company was considered a shell company under Rule 12b-2 of Exchange Act. On December 1, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Ajay Sikka (“Sikka”), the sole shareholder of Transport IQ, Inc. whereby Sikka sold all of the shares in TransportIQ, Inc. (“TransportIQ”) in exchange for $18,109, in the form of cancellation of all of the debt of TransportIQ that was owed to the Company. The transaction became effective upon the execution of the agreement by Sikka and the Company; and Transport IQ, Inc, is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Because TransportIQ was commonly controlled and owned, the transaction was recorded at the historical carrying value of TransportIQ’s assets and liabilities.

 

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority on March 18, 2022, approved a reverse 1 for 8 stock split of the Company’s common shares. The reverse split was effective on March 21, 2022. The common shares and common share equivalents as well as the per-share amounts have been retroactively restated in accordance with ASC 855-10-25 and the loss per share figures have been retroactively restated in accordance with ASC 260-10-55-12.

 

Ci2i is a services company founded in 1998 that develops and deploys intelligent technologies and products in order to meet the demand for sustainable, integrated solutions. Ci2i’s primary focus has been in the analytics and intelligence segments. The Company is investing significantly in building products in the area of supply chain and last mile delivery.

 

On May 16, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with TRAQIQ Solutions Private Limited (TraQ Pvt Ltd), formerly known as Mann-India Technologies Pvt Ltd. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of TRAQ Pvt Ltd. and assumed certain net liabilities in exchange for warrants exercisable over five-years to purchase up to 166,159 shares of common stock of the Company valued at $268 at an exercise price of $0.0008. The warrants are exercisable as follows: (i) 12,596 warrants immediately upon closing; (ii) 107,494 warrants exercisable one-year after the date of closing; and (iii) 46,069 warrants exercisable two-years after the date of closing. This transaction is being recorded as a business combination under ASC 805.

 

The warrants that are exercisable in one-year and two-years were conditioned upon TRAQ Pvt Ltd. achieving certain revenue figures and pre-tax profit percentages. For the warrants to become exercisable, TRAQ Pvt Ltd. was required to achieve target revenue of $1.1 million and pre-tax profit of 25% in 2019 and 2020, respectively, with the amount of such warrants becoming exercisable reduced proportionally to the extent TRAQ Pvt Ltd. failed to achieve these targets. A total of 52,391 of these warrants were cancelled effective May 16, 2021 as a result of these criteria not being achieved. There were 56,400 of these warrants exercised during 2021 and 57,368 warrants remain outstanding as of December 31, 2021.

 

Effective December 31, 2020, Ci2i acquired the net assets of OmniM2M and TransportIQ, and then dissolved those entities in January 2021. The value of those transactions were for the assumed liabilities of Omni and TransportIQ, and no cash was exchanged.

On January 22, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Rohuma, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Rohuma”) and its members, whereby the Rohuma members agreed to exchange all of their respective membership interests in Rohuma in exchange for up to 536,528 shares of common stock, of which the first tranche of 320,285 shares was issued upon closing on March 1, 2021, with the remaining value reflected as contingent consideration until the shares vest at which time they will be issued. Issuance of the remaining shares is contingent upon Rohuma achieving certain revenue targets for the calendar years 2021 and 2022. The Company is making final determination on the revenue targets to ascertain that the second tranche of shares should be issued. The transaction was valued at $3,433,776 ($6.40 per share). Rohuma has an Indian affiliate that is owned 99% by Rohuma and 1% by its founding member. Rohuma controls this entity and the 1% ownership by the member is now less than 1% upon acquisition by the Company. This amount is reflected as a non-controlling interest.

 

Rohuma dba Kringle.ai is a California based software solutions company that enables digital and mobile commerce by providing enterprise class applications that cover loyalty and rewards products, payments, online ordering, distribution logistics for retail and more. Kringle analyzes customers’ omni-channel behaviors and transactions. Using AI for digital commerce, Kringle is able to deliver real time, automated 1:1 recommendations and personalized content across all customer touch points.

 

On February 17, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Mimo Technologies Private Ltd., an Indian corporation (“Mimo”), and its shareholders, whereby the Mimo shareholders exchanged all of their respective shares in Mimo for warrants to purchase up to 170,942 shares of the Company’s common stock. Of these warrants, 102,565 were earned at the date of acquisition, with the remaining 68,377 warrants to be earned during the remainder of 2021 and 2022 subject to Mimo meeting certain revenue goals for 2021 and 2022. The Company is making final determination on the revenue targets to ascertain that the second tranche of warrants should be vested. The warrants have a term of three years and an exercise price of $0.008 and value in the amount of $1,640,447, of which $984,268 is reflected in additional paid in capital, with the remaining $656,179 reflected as contingent consideration. In addition to the issuance of the warrants, TRAQ Pvt Ltd, wrote off $258,736 in amounts due from a note receivable, $123,778 in accounts receivable and $40,354 in a debenture from Mimo. In addition, the Company made a cash payment to one of the minority shareholders of Mimo in the amount of $22,338. The Company acquired over 99% of Mimo with the remaining percentage of less than 1% reflected as a non-controlling interest.

 

Mimo provides delivery and task worker solutions across India.

Mimo trains the agents in each Product or Service through an online and classroom training platform.

 

Our Company

 

With current operations concentrated in India, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, we are servicing business supply chains with last mile delivery and mobile commerce. We help businesses in emerging markets leverage the gig economy with a two-prong approach as follows: 1) We offer our software as a service so our customers can build their own delivery networks and 2) We currently offer our network of over 14,000 task workers in India through our Mimo network, with plans to expand this network into other geographic regions within our current operating footprint.

 

The Company has 110 employees focused primarily on software development and Mimo network operations, and a strategic planning team comprised of industry consultants who are looking at ways to further disrupt the supply chain across major industry segments. TraQiQ is continually looking at innovative ways to meet customer requirements faster, utilizing artificial intelligence (“AI”) tools to improve the customer experience by trying to predict their requirements in advance, while also regularly experimenting with new hardware technology like drones to improve deliveries. As we identify areas of both improvement and opportunity, our technology team works rapidly to meet those requirements.

 

With a strong team in place, a proven software solution, and an expanding network, as well as a customer base with global operations, TraQiQ expects to expand into two new countries in the next twelve months. These markets will be in South East Asia and Latin America, where the company already has a presence, and for which this contemplated expansion will be facilitated by and accelerated, in part, with anticipated proceeds from the proposed offering.

Market opportunity

 

The gig economy has grown over the last decade with the introduction of notable digital platforms such as Lyft, Uber, DoorDash Ola, Grab, Swiggy, Dunzo, and Task Rabbit, among others. With the rise of technology-enabled gig work platforms, more than 200 million people are now considered part of the global gig workforce, according to data from Mastercard Incorporated and Statista Inc.

 

With the growth of e-commerce, availability of task workers, and changes in general consumer behaviors in favor of “on-demand” products and services, we believe many businesses are increasingly moving towards, or participating in, a gig or task-based model. ASSOCHAM (India), projects the gig sector to grow to $455 billion (a cumulative annual growth rate of 17%) by 2024 in India and has the potential to expand at least two times the pre-pandemic estimates. ASSOCHAM (India) also estimates that India is likely to have 350 million gig jobs by 2025 (growing from the current 15 million as of May 2021), presenting a significant opportunity for job seekers to capitalize and adapt to the changing work dynamics.

 

Ernst & Young estimates that the e-pharma market in India will grow to $18 billion by 2023. We believe the COVID-19 pandemic may have accelerated this growth. Companies such as Amazon and Reliance have entered the medicine delivery market in India. TraQiQ’s Mimo service is preparing to enter the medicine delivery market in India.

 

In India, gig employment is not a novel concept. With its enormous informal economy and casual workers, India has long had the equivalent of gig work in both urban and rural areas, ranging from temporary agricultural workers to daily-wage construction laborers to delivery personnel. What has changed in recent years is the use of technology to match and expand on-demand services.

 

In the current world where so many people are ordering products ranging from food and drinks to medicine to socks online, we believe the “Last Mile” task worker represents a very valuable asset. This is the one and only direct connection to the customer for businesses fulfilling orders online. TraQiQ believes that “Last Mile” task workers are the only way for a business to establish a two-way relationship with the end customer to exchange information, money, transaction data and the actual goods.

 

This is where TraQiQ adds value, and it starts long before the actual delivery. The company’s technology helps our business-to-business customers with deliveries, assists with the financial transactions, and helps to build a long-term customer relationship via the Loyalty and Rewards program.

 

We believe the gig-economy model provides significant benefits for everyone within the gig eco-system:

 

  The consumer gets instant gratification by, for example, receiving their food within an hour of ordering it.
     
  The employers can minimize their costs and have flexibility to increase or decrease their workforce on demand.
     
  Employees/contractors can have flexibility and opportunity, with the full control over their jobs, hours and who they work with provided by gig jobs.

 

We believe the gig economy helps companies, employees, and the economy, with benefits that go beyond traditional conceptions of convenience, on-demand availability, and flexibility. This is due to the underlying economic factors that platform-enabled gig work addresses at scale, as well as the collateral advantages it can provide, which can lead to a virtuous expansion cycle.

Our Products and Services

 

TraQSuite

 

TraQSuite is a software platform that powers the Last Mile distribution network. TraQSuite users can:

 

  target customers,
  facilitate and validate transactions,
  track and manage task workers, and
  manage funds and run the entire distribution network.

 

Key features of TraQSuite include:

 

  Last Mile delivery: TraQSuite’s Last-Mile software module enables a complete distribution engine. It is designed to manage thousands of task workers across multiple geographies to deliver products and services to the users. The mobile apps enable data sharing, validation, and measure customer satisfaction. The software platform allows for delivery validation, geo-tagging and know-your-customer (KYC) requirements.
     
  Transact: TraQSuite enables a task worker to facilitate a transaction by meeting the end customer. They can collect payments via credit cards, smart-phone swipes, SMS messages or cash. Both banked and unbanked users can buy products and services and pay with their mobile device. The multi-party settlement engine enables all members of the eco-system to settle their transactions across all vendors, currencies, and geographies.
     
  Target: TraQiQ enables customer transactions to be rewarded with Loyalty Credits, tokens or points. These rewards can be redeemed by the customer for free products, discounts and benefits. TraQSuite analyzes these transactions and purchase behaviors by using leading AI models. TraQiQ can deliver real time, automated and targeted offers and recommendations for additional purchases and customer retention.

 

TraQSuite is a cloud based software platform with a revenue model based on initial and transaction-based licensing fees as well as consulting fees. Licensees pay an initial per-module fee that varies depending on the number of modules that are licensed. This fee is typically $10,000 per module. Customers are also billed on a per-user or per-transaction basis every month. User fees range from a $75 per month fee for the administrator to $5 per month for regular users. Transaction fees averages about $1 per transaction, with discounts for higher volumes. Most customers also pay initial consulting fees upfront for integration of TraQSuite with their legacy software and training of their employees in the use of TraQSuite.

 

Mimo Delivery and Task Services

 

TraQiQ operates the Mimo delivery and task service in India. This service runs on the TraQSuite platform. Mimo has 14,000+ independent contractors across India performing deliveries and fulfilling tasks for the largest corporations in the country. Our team at Mimo uses a sophisticated technology platform and a smartphone app to get their tasks completed. This is coupled with a verification and billing system that allows customers of all sizes to leverage this distribution infrastructure.

 

Mimo offers a broad set of services. These offerings can be classified into three broad categories:

 

  Data collection and client verification (surveys, verification, on-boarding),
     
  Cash management & handling services, and
     
  Distribution and demand generation (order fulfilment, demand generation, delivery services for e-commerce companies)

Mimo assists the delivery and pickup segment of the banking and insurance industry by performing verifications, field investigations for loan requests, business verifications and employment verification, and also collects documents, assists in filling forms for banks, and completes data collection from customers.

 

Mimo works with microfinance institutions to collect cash, such as loan payments, convert cash to digital means like debit cards, and conduct data collection and surveys.

 

For consumer goods companies, Mimo does promotional marketing, Last Mile (hyper-local) delivery, merchant onboarding or activation, store audits, and route optimization for delivery. Mimo provides efficient end-to-end transshipment logistics. The framework manages and optimizes last-mile delivery and e-commerce logistics across the entire distribution chain with transparency and seamless integration. Mimo is currently in the planning stages to provide food, alcohol & medicine deliveries as well.

 

During the COVID pandemic, Mimo leveraged video as a platform for verification and document delivery. Now, the task workers include people who are in the field on bikes and trucks, people on a video screen, as well as people on the phone.

 

There are also data digitization tasks being done by Mimo task workers across the country. In a country like India where there are over 20 languages and multiple dialects, the task workers convert paper documents into electronic form in the same language or translate them into another language.

 

Revenue for the Mimo services is entirely based on the number of deliveries or other tasks that are performed. The customer is typically charged a fee of $3-$5 depending upon the geography, duration of task and distance that the task associate must travel. Two thirds of the fee is shared with the task associate, and one-third is retained by Mimo. While this revenue model has worked well in India where the services are currently offered, we may adjust it as needed as the service is offered in other geographic areas.

 

Customers

 

TraQiQ’s geographic focus is emerging and smaller economies. These are markets where we believe the barriers to entry are lower and the market potential is high.

 

TraQiQ is serving or has serviced a variety of large customers over the years. Some of our representative customers, most of which we are currently serving, include:

 

  Railtel, one of the largest broadband infrastructure providers in India, which owns and operates a nationwide fiber network that runs alongside train tracks across India and for which Mimo collects subscriber payments.
     
  Multiple large banking and finance industry customers, such as Hero Finance Corp, Yes bank, Aditya Birla group, ICICI bank, Ratnakar bank and Edelweiss Finance, for whom Mimo does deliveries and pickup of financial documents.
     
  Companies such as Facebook, for whom TraQiQ has done surveys, Verify360, for whom TraQiQ has done background verifications, and Jio, for whom the company facilitates SIM activation.
     
  Companies such as Unilever Cambodia, Ben & Jerry’s, Lakme and others in Southeast Asia and Australia/New Zealand, for whom TraQiQ facilitates contactless ice cream delivery with a unique wallet and customer retention program, cosmetics products loyalty programs, and virtual point of sale (POS) systems for remote delivery.
     
  A white-labelled delivery service in New Zealand, for whom TraQiQ provided a complete software platform.
     
  Companies in Latin America such as Seguros Bolivar, Panafoto, and BBVA, for whom TraQiQ provides FinTech products and solutions.

Although our strategy is to expand our business operations and customer base through our 2021 acquisitions of Rohuma and Mimo, most of our revenue has come historically from a few customers. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we had two major customers comprising 50% of our revenues, and at December 31, 2021 five customers represented 93% of our accounts receivable. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and at the end of that year, these customers accounted for 85% of our revenues and our accounts receivable, respectively. We do not believe that the risk associated with these customers will have an adverse effect on our business in the future.

 

Growth Strategy

 

Our gross revenue grew by 50% from 2019 to 2020 to reach the $1 million mark. By the end of the second quarter of 2021, our gross revenue had already equaled our gross revenue for the entire 2020 calendar year. In addition to our significant presence in India, Southeast Asia and Latin America, we have recently announced new customers in Australia, New Zealand and parts of Africa.

 

Our strategy is to grow our business through a combination of organic growth and strategic investments that bring new functionality and revenue streams to the company. We plan to enhance the functionality of our existing products, increase sales in the Indian market and enter into new emerging markets. Our data currently shows that within the first six months our business customers have an average increase of transactions of approximately 20%, and their customer’s transactions through our software increase by 15-20% over that period.

 

We believe we can continue to grow the Mimo network of task workers in India and are currently evaluating markets in Southeast Asia & Latin America for launching the Mimo service, as well. We plan to go live in at least two new markets within the next twelve months.

 

As hardware technology evolves, TraQiQ’s strategy is to provide additional delivery services by adding drones, e-bikes and robotic carts. The company has already had conversations with e-bike companies to equip the Mimo delivery team with electric bikes in the future.

 

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Matters

 

TraQiQ’s Mimo service provides jobs across India. Most of the people who are doing deliveries and performing tasks are not college educated. Based on our records, over 70% of our current task workers do not have a high school diploma. While many of them start with Mimo to supplement their other wages, they migrate towards spending most of their time with Mimo. Mimo gives them an opportunity to earn reasonable wages and they make their own hours. We believe many of these people would have a tough time finding jobs elsewhere due to lack of educational credentials. Many of them have grown into corporate roles at Mimo like trainers and supervisors.

 

Markets

 

In addition to its significant presence in India, Southeast Asia and Latin America, TraQiQ has recently added new customers in Australia, New Zealand and parts of Africa. Management regards Africa as having substantial growth potential. According to World Mobile Ltd., approximately 66% of sub-Saharan Africans do not have a banking relationship, but Plug and Play Tech Center estimates there are over 525 million smart phones in use in that area. We believe these customers would be likely candidates for phone-based mobile payment systems.

 

Competition

 

TraQiQ competes to some extent with several Last mile service providers with established global names as well as other service providers that are established brands in India. Unlike TraQiQ, many of these companies market directly to consumers rather than to other businesses. However, several of these competitors have significantly greater resources and name recognitions than TraQiQ.

 

6

 

 

TraQiQ’s Mimo service has a business-to-business (“B2B”) focus. This inherently results in longer term relationships with clients. We believe this, in turn, has a direct impact on longer term profitability. Mimo also has a deeper focus on semi-urban and rural areas, which we believe is a significant competitive advantage, as we believe most of our competitors have continued to focus on the larger cities. However, there is no assurance we will compete successfully or achieve profitability in the future.

 

We believe Mimo’s technology has some unique elements that provide strong differentiation. There are significant machine learning algorithms that power the service, enabling optimal route planning, reducing time to get a task done and minimizing agent productivity. There are modules in service that enable trackability and audit of all service elements.

 

We also compete with companies offering multiple software products. Larger companies have had software solutions for field-force management for a long time or have extended their products to include workforce management. Similarly, there are multiple fintech companies that offer products to facilitate transactions and payments. In the loyalty & rewards segment, there are also several companies with either a global or regional following.

 

TraQiQ believes its software solution is improved by its service network. We believe running a large-scale service provides a unique advantage to TraQiQ, as the real-time feedback from running the service enables the company to make continuous improvements to its software. In addition, TraQiQ goes beyond just the Last mile delivery. By providing a robust set of fintech and analytics solutions, TraQiQ provides a one-stop-shop for customers and partners.

 

Employees and Human Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2021 TraQiQ had a total of 110 full time employees. Approximately 100 of these employees are based in India. None of our employees is represented by a labor union, and we consider our company culture and employee relations to be strong.

 

In addition, we have independent contractor relationships with approximately 14,000 “gig” workers throughout India who primarily provide delivery services and other tasks for business customers.

 

Intellectual Property

 

To date, TraQiQ has not obtained any patents on the software it has developed or registered any of its trademarks. Instead, the company protects its intellectual property rights by relying on national and local statutory and common law rights in the jurisdictions in which it operates, as well as contractual restrictions. TraQiQ enters into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with its technical employees and contractors, and confidentiality agreements with third parties who perform technical services. Although the company is not aware that its software or trademarks infringe the patents or trademarks of any other party, it may face allegations by third parties, including its competitors, that aspects of its software or trademarks infringe their trademarks, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights in a particular jurisdiction.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

General Risks Relating to Our Business, Operations of Financial Condition

 

We have a limited operating history and are subject to the risks encountered by early-stage companies.

 

Our company has a limited operating history, and you should consider and evaluate our operating prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in rapidly evolving markets. For us, these risks include:

 

  risks that we may not have sufficient capital to achieve our growth strategy;
     
  risks that we may not develop our product and service offerings in a manner that enables us to be profitable and meet our customers’ requirements;
     
  risks that our growth strategy may not be successful; and
     
  risks that fluctuations in our operating results will be significant relative to our revenues.

 

These risks are described in more detail below. Our future growth will depend substantially on our ability to address these and the other risks described in this section. If we do not successfully address these risks, we will be unable to sustain our business growth to date and you could lose your investment.

 

Our operating losses and working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we do not continue as a going concern, investors could lose their entire investment.

 

Our operating losses and working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have an accumulated deficit of $(8,953,768) as of December 31, 2021. We may never achieve profitability. If we do not generate sufficient revenues, do not achieve profitability and do not have other sources of financing for our business, we may have to curtail or cease our development plans and operations, which could cause investors to lose the entire amount of their investment.

 

If we are unable to integrate our acquisitions or manage the growth of those companies effectively, our business could be adversely affected.

 

Our business has grown mostly through acquisition of other companies, both in the United States and in India. These companies, particularly in India, are currently expanding rapidly. Our future operating results depend to a large extent on our ability to manage this expansion and growth successfully. For us to continue to manage such growth, we must put in place legal and accounting systems, and implement human resource management and other tools. We may be unable to successfully manage this anticipated rapid growth. A failure to manage our growth effectively could materially and adversely affect our business.

 

Increasing competition within our emerging industry could have an impact on our business prospects.

 

The artificial intelligence, mobile payment and “gig” worker markets are emerging industries where new competitors are entering the market frequently. These competing companies may have significantly greater financial and other resources than we have and may have been developing their products and services longer than we have been developing ours, and we may be unable to successfully compete.

 

8

 

 

Our current and future operations are subject to certain risks that are unique to operating in a foreign country.

 

We currently have international operations in India, Latin America, and Africa, among other places, and have a large concentration of employees and task workers in India. Therefore, we are exposed to risks inherent in international business operations. The risks of doing business in foreign countries include the following:

 

  changing regulatory or taxation policies, including changes in tax policies that have been proposed by the current United States administration that may affect the taxation of foreign earnings;
     
  currency exchange risks;
     
  changes in diplomatic relations or hostility from local populations;
     
  seizure of our property by the government or restrictions on our ability to transfer our property or earnings out of the foreign country;
     
  potential instability of foreign governments, which might result in losses against which we are not insured;
     
  difficulty in protecting our intellectual property from infringement in certain foreign countries; and
     
  difficulty of enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through some foreign legal systems.

 

Exchange rates may cause future losses in our international operations.

 

Because we own assets in foreign countries and derive revenue from our international operations, we may incur currency translation losses due to changes in the values of foreign currencies and in the value of the United States dollar. We cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations upon future operating results.

 

We may not be able to adequately protect our proprietary technology, and our competitors may be able to offer similar products and services, which would harm our competitive position.

 

Our success depends in part upon our proprietary technology. We rely primarily on national and local statutory and common law rights in the jurisdictions in which we operate, as well as contractual restrictions, to establish and protect our proprietary rights, but to date we have not sought or obtained any patents on our proprietary technology or registered any of our trademarks. Despite the precautions we have taken, third parties could copy or otherwise obtain and use our technology without authorization or develop similar technology independently. The protection of our proprietary rights may be inadequate or our competitors may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our products and services or design around any intellectual property rights we hold.

 

If third parties claim that we infringe their intellectual property, it may result in costly litigation.

 

Third parties may claim our current or future products infringe their intellectual property rights. Any such claims, with or without merit, could cause costly litigation that could consume significant management time. As the number of product and services offerings in the artificial intelligence, mobile payments and task worker markets increases and functionalities increasingly overlap, we may become increasingly subject to infringement claims. Such claims also might require us to enter into royalty or license agreements. If required, we may not be able to enter into such royalty or license agreements or obtain them on terms acceptable to us.

 

Pandemics including COVID-19 may adversely affect our business.

 

The unprecedented events related to COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), have had significant health, economic, and market impacts and may have short-term and long-term adverse effects on our business that we cannot predict as the global pandemic continues to evolve. The extent and effectiveness of responses by governments and other organizations also cannot be predicted. During 2021 and 2020, COVID-19 forced us to suspend Last Mile deliveries and other task worker activities for a period of time, and we shifted some of those activities to a virtual, remote-service model until in-person activities could resume safely. The effects of the pandemic may have a particular effect on our business as a result of our extensive operations in India and other emerging markets, where vaccines are less available. While we continue to have the option to shift to virtual activities if necessary, it is unclear whether and to what extent future impacts of COVID-19 or other pandemics will have an adverse effect on our profitability and growth strategy.

We may need additional financing. Any limitation on our ability to obtain such additional financing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may need to raise additional capital, which we may be unable to obtain on favorable or reasonable terms, or at all. If we raise additional capital, it could result in dilution to our stockholders. Any limitation on our ability to obtain additional capital as and when needed could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, which could harm our operating results, our ability to operate our business and investors’ views of us.

 

Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place so that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires public companies to conduct an annual review and evaluation of their internal controls. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2021. Our failure to maintain the effectiveness of our internal controls in accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business. We could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock. In addition, if our efforts to comply with new or changed laws, regulations, and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.

 

Our revenue is currently concentrated in a small number of customers.

 

Although our strategy is to expand our business operations and customer base through our 2021 acquisitions of Rohuma and Mimo, most of our revenue has come historically from a few customers. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we had two major customers comprising 50% of our revenues, and at December 31, 2021 and five customers represented 93% of our accounts receivable. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and at the end of that year, these customers accounted for 85% of our revenues and our accounts receivable, respectively. A loss of the business from these customers or any difficulty collecting our accounts receivable from them could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Risks Relating to our Common Stock

 

One shareholder controls a majority of the voting power of our common stock, and his interest may conflict with those of investors.

 

Our Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer and President, Ajay Sikka, beneficially owns shares representing a majority of our common stock. He therefore is in a position to exercise substantial influence over the outcome of all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders, including the election of directors.

 

We may be unsuccessful in having our common stock listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

 

We have applied to have our common stock listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “TRIQ.” Our application has not yet been approved, and there can be no assurance that it will be approved. If it is approved and our common stock is listed, we may not be able to meet the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market, which require, among other things, a minimum closing price of our common stock and a minimum market capitalization. If we are unable to satisfy the requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market for continued listing, our common stock would be subject to delisting from that market, and we might or might not be eligible to list our shares on another Nasdaq market. A delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market, particularly if we did not qualify to be listed on another Nasdaq market, could negatively impact us by, among other things, reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock.

The difficulties associated with any attempt to gain control of our company could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

 

Ajay Sikka has substantial influence over the decision as to whether a change in control will occur for our company. There are also provisions contained in our articles of incorporation, by-laws and California law that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of TraQiQ. These restrictions and limitations could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

 

There is currently not an active liquid trading market for the Company’s common stock.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets QB tier under the symbol “TRIQ”. However, there is currently no regular active trading market in our common stock. Although there are periodic volume spikes from time to time, a consistent, active trading market may not develop. Whether or not in the future our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, there is no assurance an active trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained or that we will remain eligible for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If an active market for our common stock develops, there is a significant risk that our stock price may fluctuate in the future in response to any of the following factors, some of which are beyond our control:

 

  variations in our quarterly operating results;
     
  announcements that our revenue or income are below analysts’ expectations;
     
  general economic downturns;
     
  sales of large blocks of our common stock; or
     
  announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments.

 

You may experience dilution of your ownership interest due to future issuance of our securities.

 

We are currently authorized to issue 300,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. We may issue additional shares of common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in future public offerings or private placements for capital raising purposes or for other business purposes, or upon conversion or exercise of outstanding options, warrants, or preferred stock. The future issuance of a substantial amount of common stock, or the perception that such an issuance could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common shares. A decline in the price of our common stock could make it more difficult to raise funds through future offerings of our common stock or securities convertible into common stock.

 

Our board of directors may issue and fix the terms of shares of our preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our common stock or any change in control of our company.

 

Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, with such designation rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the board of directors. Of these authorized shares, 50,000 shares have been designated Series A Preferred Stock but none of them are currently outstanding. Our board of directors is empowered, without shareholder approval, to create additional series and issue additional shares of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. In the event of such issuances, the preferred stock could be used, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of our company.

We do not expect to pay dividends.

 

We do not anticipate that we will declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, you will only realize an economic gain on your investment in our common stock if the price appreciates, which may not occur. You should not purchase our common stock expecting to receive cash dividends. Since we do not pay dividends, and if an active trading market for our shares does not develop, you may not have any manner to liquidate or receive any payment on your investment. Therefore, our failure to pay dividends may cause you to not see any return on your investment even if we are successful in our business operations. In addition, because we do not pay dividends we may have trouble raising additional funds which could affect our ability to expand our business operations.

 

Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in the securities is limited, which makes transactions in the stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in the stock.

 

Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC because it has historically had a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

 

  that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks after compliance with various information collection rules and a suitability evaluation;
     
  the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased; and
     
  the broker or dealer deliver a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC.

 

If we are successful in our application to list our stock for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market and we are able to maintain that listing, our stock will cease to be a penny stock. However, if we cease to obtain and maintain that listing, we may again be subject to the penny stock rules. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the penny stock rules. In addition, according to the SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. These factors may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our common stock if it were to become subject to the penny stock rules.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time the Company is a party to various legal or administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. While any litigation contains an element of uncertainty, we have no reason to believe that the outcome of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

Our common stock is not listed on any securities exchange, and effective October 27, 2020 is quoted on the OTC Market under the symbol “TRIQ.” Because our common stock is not listed on a securities exchange and its quotations on OTC are limited and sporadic, there is currently no established public trading market for our common stock.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

 

As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to file selected financial data.

 

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

As used in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation,” except where the context otherwise requires, the term “we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Company,” refers to the business of TraQiQ Inc.

Overview

 

TraQiQ was incorporated in the State of California on September 9, 2009 as Thunderclap Entertainment, Inc. On July 14, 2017, Thunderclap Entertainment, Inc. changed its name to TraQiQ, Inc. On July 19, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with the stockholders of OmniM2M, Inc. (“OmniM2M”) and TraQiQ Solutions, Inc. dba Ci2i Services, Inc. (formerly Ci2i Services, Inc. – amended November 6, 2019) (“Ci2i”) whereby the stockholders of OmniM2M and Ci2i agreed to exchange all of their respective shares, representing 100% ownership in OmniM2M and Ci2i in exchange for 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively. The OmniM2M Shareholders and the Ci2i Shareholders were issued their respective 1,500,000 shares on a pro rata basis based on their respective holdings in OmniM2M and Ci2i in the Share Exchange Agreement. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse merger whereas Ci2i is considered the accounting acquirer and TraQiQ, Inc. is considered the accounting acquiree. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements included the accounts of Ci2i for all periods presented and the accounts of TraQiQ, Inc. and OmniM2M, which was acquired by the Company on July 19, 2017 since the date of acquisition. For accounting purposes, the acquisition of OmniM2M is recorded at historical cost in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 805-50-25-2 as this is considered an acquisition of entities under common control as the management of the Company and OmniM2M control the activities of the respective companies. Prior to the merger with Ci2i and acquisition of OmniM2M, the Company was considered a shell company under Rule 12b-2 of Exchange Act. On December 1, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Ajay Sikka (“Sikka”), the sole shareholder of Transport IQ, Inc. whereby Sikka sold all of the shares in TransportIQ, Inc. (“TransportIQ”) in exchange for $18,109, in the form of cancellation of all of the debt of TransportIQ that was owed to the Company. The transaction became effective upon the execution of the agreement by Sikka and the Company; and Transport IQ, Inc, is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Because TransportIQ was commonly controlled and owned, the transaction was recorded at the historical carrying value of TransportIQ’s assets and liabilities.

 

Ci2i is a services company founded in 1998 that develops and deploys intelligent technologies and products in order to meet the demand for sustainable, integrated solutions. Ci2i’s primary focus has been in the analytics and intelligence segments. The Company is investing significantly in building products in the area of supply chain and last mile delivery.

 

On May 16, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with TRAQIQ Solutions Private Limited (TraQ Pvt Ltd), formerly known as Mann-India Technologies Pvt Ltd. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of TRAQ Pvt Ltd. and assumed certain net liabilities in exchange for warrants exercisable over five-years to purchase up to 166,159 shares of common stock of the Company valued at $268 at an exercise price of $0.0008. The warrants are exercisable as follows: (i) 12,596 warrants immediately upon closing; (ii) 107,494 warrants exercisable one-year after the date of closing; and (iii) 46,069 warrants exercisable two-years after the date of closing. This transaction is being recorded as a business combination under ASC 805.

 

The warrants that are exercisable in one-year and two-years were conditioned upon TRAQ Pvt Ltd. achieving certain revenue figures and pre-tax profit percentages. For the warrants to become exercisable, TRAQ Pvt Ltd. was required to achieve target revenue of $1.1 million and pre-tax profit of 25% in 2019 and 2020, respectively, with the amount of such warrants becoming exercisable reduced proportionally to the extent TRAQ Pvt Ltd. failed to achieve these targets. A total of 52,391 of these warrants were cancelled effective May 16, 2021 as a result of these criteria not being achieved. There were 56,400 of these warrants exercised during 2021 and 57,368 warrants remain outstanding as of December 31, 2021.

 

Effective December 31, 2020, Ci2i acquired the net assets of OmniM2M and TransportIQ, and then dissolved those entities in January 2021. The value of those transactions were for the assumed liabilities of Omni and TransportIQ, and no cash was exchanged.

On February 17, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Mimo Technologies Private Ltd., an Indian corporation (“Mimo”), and its shareholders, whereby the Mimo shareholders exchanged all of their respective shares in Mimo for warrants to purchase up to 170,942 shares of the Company’s common stock. Of these warrants, 102,565 were earned at the date of acquisition, with the remaining 68,377 warrants to be earned during the remainder of 2021 and 2022 subject to Mimo meeting certain revenue goals for 2021 and 2022.

Going Concern

 

The Company has an accumulated deficit of $8,953,768 and a working capital deficit of $9,844,269 as of December 31, 2021, compared to a working capital deficit of $3,168,246 as of December 31, 2020. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and/or obtain additional financing from its stockholders and/or other third parties.

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity or debt financing to continue operations, successfully locating and negotiating with other business entities for potential acquisition and /or acquiring new clients to generate revenues. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of the uncertainties.

 

In order to further implement its business plan and satisfy its working capital requirements, the Company will need to raise additional capital. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise additional equity or debt financing at acceptable terms, if at all.

 

There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. Those material accounting estimates that we believe are the most critical to an investor’s understanding of our financial results and condition are discussed immediately below and are particularly important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates.

 

18

 

 

Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TraQiQ, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Company applies the guidance of Topic 810 Consolidation of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) to determine whether and how to consolidate another entity. Pursuant to ASC paragraph 810-10-15-10, all majority-owned subsidiaries—all entities in which a parent has a controlling financial interest—are consolidated except when control does not rest with the parent.

 

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 810-10-15-8, the usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares of another entity is a condition pointing toward consolidation. The power to control may also exist with a lesser percentage of ownership, for example, by contract, lease, agreement with other stockholders, or by court decree.

 

Noncontrolling Interests

 

In accordance with ASC 810-10-45 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company classifies noncontrolling interests as a component of equity within the consolidated balance sheet. In January 2021, the acquisition of Rohuma resulted in a less than 1% non-controlling interest of the Indian affiliate of that company. In February 2021, the acquisition of Mimo resulted in a less than 1% non-controlling interest of that company.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates include, but are not limited to, management’s estimate of provisions required for non-collectible accounts receivable, depreciative lives of our assets, determination of technological feasibility, and valuation allowances of our deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Capitalized Software Costs

 

In accordance with the relevant FASB accounting guidance regarding the development of software to be sold, leased, or marketed, the Company expenses such costs as they are incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at and after which time these costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Once the technological feasibility is established per ASC 985-20, the Company capitalizes costs associated with the acquisition or development of major software for internal and external use in the balance sheet. Costs incurred to enhance the Company’s software products, after general market release of the services using the products, is expensed in the period they are incurred. The Company only capitalizes subsequent additions, modifications or upgrades to internally developed software to the extent that such changes allow the software to perform a task it previously did not perform. The Company expenses software maintenance and training costs as incurred.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), specifically ASC 606-10-50-12. This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all industries and requires additional disclosures. The updated guidance introduces a five-step model to achieve its core principal of the entity recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted the updated guidance effective January 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method, however the new standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations, as it did not change the manner or timing of recognizing revenue.

Professional Service Revenue

 

TRAQ Pvt Ltd. generally derives a large part of its revenues from professional and support services, which includes revenue generated from software development projects and associated fees for consulting, implementation, training, and project management provided to customers using their systems. Revenue from arrangements with customers is recognized based on the Company’s satisfaction of distinct performance obligations identified in each agreement, generally at a point in time as discussed in ASC 606. In instances where multiple performance obligations are identified, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on relative selling prices of each distinct product or service, and recognizes revenue related to each performance obligation at the points in time that each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s performance obligation includes providing customization of software and the selling of licenses, where the Company typically satisfies its performance obligations prior to the submission of invoices to the customer for such services. The Company’s performance obligation for consulting and technical support is delivered on as the work is being performed, which is satisfied prior to invoicing. The Company generally collects payment within 30 to 60 days of completion of the performance obligation and there are no agency relationships.

 

Software development arrangements involving significant customization, modification or production are accounted for in accordance with the appropriate technical accounting guidance issued by the FASB using the percentage-of- completion method. The Company recognizes revenue using periodic reported actual hours worked as a percentage of total expected hours required to complete the project arrangement and applies the percentage to the total arrangement fee.

 

Unbilled revenue represents earnings in excess of billings as at the end of the reporting period. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are excluded from revenues in the statements of operations.

 

TRAQ Pvt Ltd. has deferred the revenue and costs attributable to certain process transition activities with respect to its customers where such activities do not represent the culmination of a separate earnings process. Such revenue and costs are subsequently recognized ratably over the period in which the related services are performed. Further, the deferred costs are limited to the amount of the deferred revenues.

 

TRAQ Pvt Ltd. has now started offering an integrated solution for supply chain and last mile. This product called “TraQSuite” is now offered in multiple markets as a cloud-based subscription offering. This is a significant improvement from the earlier professional services business.

 

Software Solution Revenue

 

Revenue from arrangements with customers is recognized based on the Company’s satisfaction of distinct performance obligations identified in each agreement, generally at a point in time as discussed in ASC 606. In instances where multiple performance obligations are identified, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on relative selling prices of each distinct product or service, and recognizes revenue related to each performance obligation at the points in time that each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s performance obligation includes providing connectivity to software, generally through a monthly subscription, where the Company typically satisfies its performance obligations prior to the submission of invoices to the customer for such services. The Company’s performance obligation for hardware components that are purchased by the customer in connection with the solution is delivery of the purchased device, which is satisfied prior to invoicing. The Company provides a twelve-month warranty on their hardware. All units deployed by the Company are past the twelve-month period, thus the Company has not accrued for a warranty liability. The Company generally collects payment within 30 to 60 days of completion of the performance obligation and there are no agency relationships.

 

Revenue From Sales of Goods

 

Revenue from arrangements with customers is recognized based on the Company’s satisfaction of distinct performance obligations identified in each agreement, generally at a point in time as discussed in ASC 606. The performance obligations are satisfied upon shipment of the merchandise being sold.

 

20

 

 

Costs of Services Provided

 

Costs of services provided consist of data processing costs, customer support costs including personnel costs to maintain the Company’s proprietary databases, costs to provide customer call center support, hardware and software expense associated with transaction processing systems and exchanges, telecommunication and computer network expense, and occupancy costs associated with facilities where these functions are performed. Depreciation expense is not included in costs of services provided.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The Company accounts for foreign currency transactions in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters” (“ASC 830”), specifically the guidance in subsection ASC 830-20, “Foreign Currency Transactions”. The U.S. dollar is the functional and reporting currency for the Company and its subsidiaries other than the Indian subsidiaries whose functional currency is the Indian Rupee. Pursuant to ASC 830, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with the resulting gains or losses upon settlement reported in foreign exchange gain (loss) in the computation of net income (loss). Gains or losses resulting from translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

 

The Company follows ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. This requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. Management evaluates the Company’s tax positions on an annual basis.

 

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction and various state and foreign tax jurisdictions. The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they were filed. Foreign income tax returns are subject to examination by foreign taxing authorities.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Company’s financial instruments: The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, stockholder advances, and short-term financing approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. The Company does not utilize derivative instruments.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

 

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) include additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as convertible notes, preferred stock, stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reports a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive for periods presented. An uncertain number of shares underlying convertible debt have been excluded from the computation of loss per share because their impact was anti-dilutive.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal stockholders of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal stockholders of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal where one-party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions. All transactions shall be recorded at fair value of the goods or services exchanged. Property purchased from a related party is recorded at the cost to the related party and any payment to or on behalf of the related party in excess of the cost is reflected as compensation or distribution to related parties depending on the transaction.

 

21

 

 

Lease Obligations

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities and operating lease liabilities, less current portion in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

 

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For leases in which the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating lease arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately.

On April 5, 2021, the Board of Directors of TraQiQ, Inc. approved the dismissal of AJSH & Co LLP (“AJSH”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on April 6, 2021 reporting on this event and stating that (1) the reports of AJSH on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles; (2) during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, there were no “disagreements” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions) with AJSH on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of AJSH would have caused AJSH to make reference thereto in its reports on the consolidated financial statements for such years; and (3) during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020 neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted TRC regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered with respect to the consolidated financial statements of the Company, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by TRC that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a “disagreement” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Based on an evaluation as of the date of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s Certifying Officers conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Certifying Officers concluded that, because of the disclosed material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Certifying Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon the evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this report, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of continuing weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting principally due to the following:

 

  - We have not established adequate financial reporting processes or monitoring activities to ensure adequate financial reporting and to mitigate the risk of management override, specifically because there are few employees and only two officers with management functions and therefore there is lack of segregation of duties.
     
  - An outside consultant assists in the preparation of the annual and quarterly financial statements and partners with us to ensure compliance with US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, using the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013 framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As a result of management’s assessment, management has determined that there are material weaknesses due to the lack of segregation of duties and, due to the limited resources based on the size of the Company. Due to the material weaknesses management concluded that as of December 31, 2021, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective. In order to address and resolve the weaknesses, the Company will endeavor to locate and appoint additional qualified personnel to the board of directors and pertinent officer positions as the Company’s financial means allow. To date, the Company’s limited financial resources have not allowed the Company to hire the additional personnel necessary to address the material weaknesses.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter (the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

The term “internal control over financial reporting” is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the registrant’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

(a) Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the registrant;
   
(b) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and
   
(c) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the registrant’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

 

The following tables set forth certain information regarding the ownership of our common stock as of March 4, 2022, by:

 

  each director;
  each person known by us to own beneficially 5% or more of our Common Stock;
  each officer named in the summary compensation table elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K; and
  all directors and executive officers as a group.

 

There were 4,171,602 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. The following table shows, as of that date, the number of shares and percentage of our common stock held by each person known to us to own beneficially more than five percent of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, by each of our executive officers and directors, and by our executive officers and directors as a group. Unless otherwise specified, the address of each person listed is: 14205 SE 36th Street, Suite 100, Bellevue, WA 98006.

 

The amounts and percentages of common stock beneficially owned are reported on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or “investment power,” which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under these rules more than one person may be deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest. The percentages of common stock beneficially owned are calculated on the basis of 4,871,894 total common shares issued and outstanding after giving effect to the Share Exchange Agreement, inclusion of stock options, warrants, and shares issuable upon the conversion of notes payable.

 

Unless otherwise indicated below, to the best of our knowledge each beneficial owner named in the table has sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable.

Policy on Future Related Party Transactions

 

The Company requires that any related party transactions must be approved by a majority of the Company’s independent directors.

 

Board Independence

 

Our board of directors currently consists of four members. Of these, our board has determined that three (Mr. DuBois, Mr. Berman and Mr. Rankich) qualify as “independent directors” under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. and do not have any material relationships with TraQiQ that might interfere with their exercise of independent judgment. In addition, TraQiQ is a “Controlled Company” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards because more than 50% of the company’s voting power is held by one individual. The company is, therefore, pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5615(c)(2), exempt from certain aspects of Nasdaq’s listing standards relating to independent directors. Nevertheless, the company has voluntarily complied with some of such rules, and a majority of the members of the board of directors are “independent directors” under Nasdaq rules.

Shareholders of TraQiQ Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TraQiQ, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as on December 31, 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows, for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern Uncertainty

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a accumulated deficit of $8,953,768 and working capital deficit of $9,844,269, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of financial statement. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

See the explanatory paragraph of the opinion paragraph.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TraQiQ, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Company applies the guidance of Topic 810 Consolidation of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) to determine whether and how to consolidate another entity. Pursuant to ASC paragraph 810-10-15-10, all majority-owned subsidiaries—all entities in which a parent has a controlling financial interest—are consolidated except when control does not rest with the parent.

 

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 810-10-15-8, the usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares of another entity is a condition pointing toward consolidation. The power to control may also exist with a lesser percentage of ownership, for example, by contract, lease, agreement with other stockholders, or by court decree.

 

F-11
 

 

Noncontrolling Interests

 

In accordance with ASC 810-10-45 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company classifies noncontrolling interests as a component of equity within the consolidated balance sheet. In January 2021, the acquisition of Rohuma resulted in a less than 1% non-controlling interest of the Indian affiliate of that company. In February 2021, the acquisition of Mimo resulted in a less than 1% non-controlling interest of that company.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates include, but are not limited to, management’s estimate of provisions required for non-collectible accounts receivable, depreciative lives of our assets, determination of technological feasibility, and valuation allowances of our deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The Company accounts for foreign currency transactions in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters” (“ASC 830”), specifically the guidance in subsection ASC 830-20, “Foreign Currency Transactions”. The U.S. dollar is the functional and reporting currency for the Company and its subsidiaries other than TRAQ Pvt Ltd. whose functional currency is the Indian Rupee. Pursuant to ASC 830, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with the resulting gains or losses upon settlement reported in foreign exchange gain (loss) in the computation of net income (loss). Gains or losses resulting from translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation with no effect on the Company’s net loss, total assets, liabilities equity or cash flows.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit at banking institutions as well as all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less of $56,329 and $29,658 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Restricted Cash

 

The Company’s restricted cash balance consists of time deposits with financial institutions which are valued at cost and approximate fair value. Interest earned on these deposits in included in interest income. The carrying value of our restricted cash at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $114,199 and $28,746, respectively. The balances consist of time deposits pledged with financial institutions for a Line of Credit facility taken from Andhra Bank, issuance of overdraft limit.

 

Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company considers accounts receivable, net of allowance for returns and doubtful accounts, to be fully collectible. The allowance is based on management’s estimate of the overall collectability of accounts receivable, considering historical losses and economic conditions. Based on these same factors, individual accounts are charged off against the allowance when management determines those individual accounts are uncollectible.

 

Credit extended to customers is generally uncollateralized. Past-due status is based on contractual terms. Management has determined that an allowance of $193,535 and $0 was required for the outstanding accounts receivable as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Property and Equipment and Long-Lived Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation on fixed assets are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to ten years.

 

FASB Codification Topic 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment” (ASC 360), requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The application of ASC 360 has not materially affected the Company’s reported earnings, financial condition or cash flows.

 

Intangible assets with definite useful lives are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets represent purchased intangible assets of TRAQ Pvt Ltd., and Mimo which includes customer relationships and trademarks. The Company amortizes these intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of up to 15 years.

 

The Company has adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2017-04 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The Company reviews recoverability of long-lived assets on a periodic basis whenever events and changes in circumstances have occurred which may indicate a possible impairment. The assessment for potential impairment is based primarily on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived assets from expected future cash flows from its operations on an undiscounted basis. If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

 

The Company will assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable at the time they do have intangible assets. Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

 

1. Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;

 

2. Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and

 

3. Significant negative industry or economic trends.

 

When the Company determines that the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company will measure any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows. Management has determined that no impairment of long-lived assets is required for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

 

Capitalized Software Costs

 

In accordance with the relevant FASB accounting guidance regarding the development of software to be sold, leased, or marketed, the Company expenses such costs as they are incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at and after which time these costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Once the technological feasibility is established per ASC 985-20, the Company capitalizes costs associated with the acquisition or development of major software for internal and external use in the balance sheet.

 

Costs incurred to enhance the Company’s software products, after general market release of the services using the products, is expensed in the period they are incurred.

 

F-13
 

 

The Company only capitalizes subsequent additions, modifications or upgrades to internally developed software to the extent that such changes allow the software to perform a task it previously did not perform. The Company expenses software maintenance and training costs as incurred. The Company acquired $152,027 in software costs in the Mimo transaction.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), specifically ASC 606-10-50-12. This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all industries and requires additional disclosures. The updated guidance introduces a five-step model to achieve its core principal of the entity recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted the updated guidance effective January 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method, however the new standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations, as it did not change the manner or timing of recognizing revenue.

 

Professional Service Revenue

 

TRAQ Pvt Ltd. derives a large part of its revenues from professional and support services, which includes revenue generated from software development projects and associated fees for consulting, implementation, training, and project management provided to customers using their systems. Revenue from arrangements with customers is recognized based on the Company’s satisfaction of distinct performance obligations identified in each agreement, generally at a point in time as discussed in ASC 606. In instances where multiple performance obligations are identified, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on relative selling prices of each distinct product or service, and recognizes revenue related to each performance obligation at the points in time that each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s performance obligation includes providing customization of software’s, selling of licenses, where the Company typically satisfies its performance obligations prior to the submission of invoices to the customer for such services. The Company’s performance obligation for consulting and technical support is delivered on as the work is being performed, which is satisfied prior to invoicing.

 

The Company generally collects payment within 30 to 60 days of completion of the performance obligation and there are no agency relationships.

 

Software development arrangements involving significant customization, modification or production are accounted for in accordance with the appropriate technical accounting guidance issued by the FASB using the percentage-of- completion method. The Company recognizes revenue using periodic reported actual hours worked as a percentage of total expected hours required to complete the project arrangement and applies the percentage to the total arrangement fee.

 

Unbilled revenue represents earnings in excess of billings as at the end of the reporting period. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are excluded from revenues in the statements of operations.

 

TRAQ Pvt Ltd. has deferred the revenue and costs attributable to certain process transition activities with respect to its customers where such activities do not represent the culmination of a separate earnings process. Such revenue and costs are subsequently recognized ratably over the period in which the related services are performed. Further, the deferred costs are limited to the amount of the deferred revenues.

 

TRAQ Pvt Ltd. has now started offering an integrated solution for supply chain and last mile. This product called “TraQSuite” is now offered in multiple markets as a cloud-based subscription offering. This is a significant improvement from the earlier professional services business.

Software  Solution Revenue

 

Revenue from arrangements with customers is recognized based on the Company’s satisfaction of distinct performance obligations identified in each agreement, generally at a point in time as discussed in ASC 606. In instances where multiple performance obligations are identified, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on relative selling prices of each distinct product or service, and recognizes revenue related to each performance obligation at the points in time that each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s performance obligation includes providing connectivity to software, generally through a monthly subscription, where the Company typically satisfies its performance obligations prior to the submission of invoices to the customer for such services. The Company’s performance obligation for hardware components that are purchased by the customer in connection with the solution is delivery of the purchased device, which is satisfied prior to invoicing. The Company provides a twelve-month warranty on their hardware. All units deployed by the Company are past the twelve-month period, thus the Company has not accrued for a warranty liability. The Company generally collects payment within 30 to 60 days of completion of the performance obligation and there are no agency relationships.

 

TraQSuite is a cloud based software platform with a revenue model based on initial and transaction-based licensing fees as well as consulting fees. Licensees pay an initial per-module fee that varies depending on the number of modules that are licensed. This fee is typically $10,000 per module. Customers are also billed on a per-user or per-transaction basis every month. User fees range from a $75 per month fee for the administrator to $5 per month for regular users. Transaction fees averages about $1 per transaction, with discounts for higher volumes. Most customers also pay initial consulting fees upfront for integration of TraQSuite with their legacy software and training of their employees in the use of TraQSuite.

 

Revenue From Sales of Goods

 

Revenue from arrangements with customers is recognized based on the Company’s satisfaction of distinct performance obligations identified in each agreement, generally at a point in time as discussed in ASC 606. The performance obligations are satisfied upon shipment of the merchandise being sold.

 

The following is a summary of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, disaggregated by type:

  

   2021   2020 
Professional Services Revenue  $1,111,353   $935,214 
Sale of goods   973,485    - 
Software Solution Revenue   627,462    74,735 
   $2,712,300   $1,009,949 

 

Costs of Services Provided

 

Costs of services provided consist of purchase of goods, data processing costs, customer support costs including personnel costs to maintain the Company’s proprietary databases, costs to provide customer call center support, hardware and software expense associated with transaction processing systems and exchanges, telecommunication and computer network expense, and occupancy costs associated with facilities where these functions are performed. Depreciation expense is not included in costs of services provided.

 

Lease Obligations

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities and operating lease liabilities, less current portion in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

 

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For leases in which the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

 

F-15
 

 

Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating lease arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted under the asset and liability method. The current charge for income tax expense is calculated in accordance with the relevant tax regulations applicable to entity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

 

The Company follows ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. This requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. Management evaluates their tax positions on an annual basis.

 

TraQiQ, Inc.and TraQiQ Solutions, Inc, file a consolidated income tax return and Rohuma US files a separate tax return in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction and various state tax jurisdictions. TRAQ Pvt Ltd. as well as Mimo and Rohuma India file separate individual income tax returns in the India tax jurisdictions. The U.S. federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they were filed. The India tax returns of are subject to examination by the India Income Tax Department and India state taxing authority, generally for 12 months after the relevant tax year, 24 months after the relevant tax year in case transfer pricing provisions are applicable.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, stockholder advances, short term financing and convertible debt approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. The Company does not utilize derivative instruments.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.

 

The following provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which fair value is observable:

 

Level 1- fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted in active markets for identical assets or liabilities);

 

Level 2- fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

 

Level 3- fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

 

Financial instruments classified as Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets include cash.

 

F-16
 

 

These consolidated financial instruments are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment to estimation. Valuations based on unobservable inputs are highly subjective and require significant judgments. Changes in such judgments could have a material impact on fair value estimates.

 

In addition, since estimates are as of a specific point in time, they are susceptible to material near-term changes. Changes in economic conditions may also dramatically affect the estimated fair values.

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management for the respective periods. The respective carrying value of certain financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include cash, investments, short-term notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Derivatives are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The conversion features of the convertible instruments are embedded derivatives and are separately valued and accounted for on the consolidated balance sheet with changes in fair value recognized during the period of change as a separate component of other income/expense. Fair values for exchange-traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. Valuations derived from various models are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. Model used incorporate market-sourced inputs such as interest rates and stock price volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves management’s judgment and may impact net income (loss).

 

With the issuance of the July 2017 FASB ASU 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” which addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features, the Company has chosen the early adopt retroactively the amendments in Part I of the standard whereby fair value derivative liabilities previously recognized were derecognized in the current and comparative periods. Under the amendments included in this update, the Company is no longer required to record changes in fair value during the period of change as a separate component of other income (expense) in the consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options”), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260).

 

The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect.

 

Under current GAAP, an equity-linked financial instrument with a down round feature that otherwise is not required to be classified as a liability under the guidance in Topic 480 is evaluated under the guidance in Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” to determine whether it meets the definition of a derivative. If it meets that definition, the instrument (or embedded feature) is evaluated to determine whether it is indexed to an entity’s own stock as part of the analysis of whether it qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting.

 

F-17
 

 

Generally, for warrants and conversion options embedded in financial instruments that are deemed to have a debt host (assuming the underlying shares are readily convertible to cash or the contract provides for net settlement such that the embedded conversion option meets the definition of a derivative), the existence of a down round feature results in an instrument not being considered indexed to an entity’s own stock. This results in a reporting entity being required to classify the freestanding financial instrument or the bifurcated conversion option as a liability, which the entity must measure at fair value initially and at each subsequent reporting date.

 

The amendments in this Update revise the guidance for instruments with down round features in Subtopic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity,” which is considered in determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting. An entity still is required to determine whether instruments would be classified in equity under the guidance in Subtopic 815-40 in determining whether they qualify for that scope exception. If they do qualify, freestanding instruments with down round features are no longer classified as liabilities and embedded conversion options with down round features are no longer bifurcated.

 

For entities that present EPS in accordance with Topic 260, and when the down round feature is included in an equity-classified freestanding financial instrument, the value of the effect of the down round feature is treated as a dividend when it is triggered and as a numerator adjustment in the basic EPS calculation. This reflects the occurrence of an economic transfer of value to the holder of the instrument, while alleviating the complexity and income statement volatility associated with fair value measurement on an ongoing basis. Convertible instruments are unaffected by the Topic 260 amendments in this Update.

 

Those amendments in Part I of this Update are a cost savings relative to current GAAP. This is because, assuming the required criteria for equity classification in Subtopic 815-40 are met, an entity that issued such an instrument no longer measures the instrument at fair value at each reporting period (in the case of warrants) or separately accounts for a bifurcated derivative (in the case of convertible instruments) on the basis of the existence of a down round feature. For convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features, applying specialized guidance such as the model for contingent beneficial conversion features rather than bifurcating an embedded derivative also reduces cost and complexity. Under that specialized guidance, the issuer recognizes the intrinsic value of the feature only when the feature becomes beneficial instead of bifurcating the conversion option and measuring it at fair value each reporting period.

 

The amendments in Part II of this Update replace the indefinite deferral of certain guidance in Topic 480 with a scope exception. This has the benefit of improving the readability of the Codification and reducing the complexity associated with navigating the guidance in Topic 480.

 

For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in Part 1 of this Update should be applied in either of the following ways:

 

  1. retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the first fiscal year and interim period(s) in which the pending content that links to this paragraph is effective; or
     
  2. retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature for each prior reporting period presented in accordance with the guidance on accounting changes in paragraphs 250-10-45-5 through 45-10.

 

The amendments in Part II of this Update do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect.

 

F-18
 

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

 

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) include additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as convertible notes, preferred stock, stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reports a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive for periods presented.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal stockholders of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal stockholders of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal where one-party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions. All transactions shall be recorded at fair value of the goods or services exchanged. Property purchased from a related party is recorded at the cost to the related party and any payment to or on behalf of the related party in excess of the cost is reflected as compensation or distribution to related parties depending on the transaction.

 

Retirement Benefits to Employees

 

Defined Contribution Plan

 

In India, the employees receive benefits from a provident fund, where the employer and employees each make monthly contributions to the plan at a pre-determined rate to the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner. Employer’s contributions to the fund is charged as an expense in the Statements of Operations.

 

Defined Benefit Plan

 

In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, applicable for Indian companies, our Indian entities provide for a lump sum payment to eligible employees, at retirement or termination of employment based on the last drawn salary and years of employment with the Company. Current service costs for defined benefit plans are accrued in the period to which they relate. The liability in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated annually by the Indian entities. The Indian entities record annual amounts relating to their defined benefit plans based on calculations that incorporate various actuarial and other assumptions, including discount rates, mortality, assumed rates of return, compensation increases and turnover rates. The Indian entities reserves its assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate to do so. The Indian entities obligation in respect of the gratuity plan, which is a defined benefit plan, is provided for based on actuarial valuation.

 

Other Long-Term Employee Benefits

 

The Indian entities net obligation in respect of leave encashment is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian government securities at the reporting date that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Indian entities obligations. The calculation is performed using the projected unit credit method. Any actuarial gains or losses are recognized.

 

Investments

 

The Company’s investments are in debt and equity instruments. These investments are accounted for in accordance with ASC 320 Investments – Debt Securities and ASC 321 Investments – Equity Securities. Interest earned under such investments are included in interest income.

 

F-19
 

 

Segment Reporting

 

For purposes of segment disclosures, two or more operating segments should be grouped only if the segments meet all the requirements of paragraph 280-10-50-11, including the requirements for similar economic characteristics.

 

As a result, all operating units perform similar services, and approximately 99% of the Company’s revenue is generated from its Indian subsidiary. The Company believes that no segment reporting is required as all remaining operations outside of the Indian subsidiary is immaterial.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

There were updates recently issued, most of which represent technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries or transactions that are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has an accumulated deficit of $8,953,768 and a working capital deficit of $9,844,269, as of December 31, 2021, and a working capital deficit of $3,168,246 as of December 31, 2020. As a result of these factors, management has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company ability to continue as a going concern.

 

These consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable period. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of the uncertainties.

 

The Company has recently filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 and engaged an investment banker to undertake an offering of approximately $15,000,000. The investment banker has assisted the Company in raising a bridge round of debt financing in the amount of $1,200,000, which is net of original issue discount of $240,000. Management intends to use the funds received from the capital raise to grow both organically and inorganically by pursuing potential synergistic companies as well as invest in technology and human capital for their existing operations. The Company’s ability to close on this potential offering to raise additional capital is unknown. Obtaining additional financing and the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, ultimately, to profitable operations, are necessary for the Company to continue operations.

 

NOTE 3: ACQUISITIONS

 

ROHUMA

 

On January 22, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Rohuma, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Rohuma”) and its members, whereby the Rohuma members agreed to exchange all of their respective membership interests in Rohuma in exchange for 536,528 shares of common stock, of which the first tranche of shares were issued on March 1, 2021 totaling 320,285 shares, with the remaining value reflected as contingent consideration until the shares vest at which time they will be issued. The transaction was valued at $3,433,776 ($6.40 per share). The Company is making final determination on the revenue targets to ascertain that the second tranche of shares should be issued. Rohuma has an Indian affiliate that is owned 99% by Rohuma and 1% by its founding member. Rohuma controls this entity and the 1% ownership by the member is now less than 1% upon acquisition by the Company. This amount is reflected as a non-controlling interest.

 

The Company acquired the assets and liabilities noted below in exchange for the shares noted herein and accounted for the acquisition in accordance with ASC 805.

MIMO TECHNOLOGIES

 

On February 17, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Mimo Technologies Private Ltd., and Indian corporation (“Mimo”) and its shareholders, whereby the Mimo shareholders agreed to exchange all of their respective shares in Mimo in exchange for warrants to purchase 170,942 shares of the Company’s common stock. Of these warrants, 102,565 were earned at the date of acquisition, with the remaining 68,377 expected to be earned over the next two years from grant based on revenue goals for Mimo. The warrants have a term of three years and an exercise price of $0.008 and value in the amount of $1,640,447, of which $984,268 is reflected in additional paid in capital, with the remaining $656,179 reflected as contingent consideration.

      $-   $241,334 

 

  (a) In connection with the reverse merger in July 2017, the Company and two stockholders, who had provided related party advances to the Company, agreed to exchange their related party advances for 6% Convertible Promissory Notes that were originally due on January 15, 2018 (the “Notes”) in the amount of $68,077. From August 2017 through November 2017, the Company issued additional notes to four different parties (two of which were related parties) in the principal amount of $100,000 ($70,000 to related parties). In January 2018, the holders of the Notes agreed to extend the maturity to April 30, 2018, and in April 2018, agreed to further extend the maturity of certain notes to June or July 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the maturity of the notes were further extended to March 31, 2019 and then again to periods ranging from June 30, 2019 to December 31, 2019. The Notes bear simple interest at 6% unless the Company defaults, which increases the interest rate to 10%. The Holders, at their option, can elect to convert the principal plus any accrued interest, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate equal to eighty percent (80%) of the average closing share price as quoted on the OTC Markets for the five (5) trading days prior to the date of conversion. There are two notes that had a maturity date of June 30, 2019, with the remaining notes having a maturity date of December 31, 2019. These notes had not been extended and were in default until June 30, 2021, when the note holders agreed to extend the debt until October 31, 2021, with no other changes to the notes. The Company has classified these notes as current liabilities. The Company had accrued the default interest on the two notes from July 1, 2019 through March 4, 2021. On March 5, 2021, the Company converted $156,250 in convertible notes which includes the excess of the fair value of shares issuable over the face value of the convertible notes along with $31,046 in accrued interest into 23,412 shares of common stock.
     
   

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received additional proceeds from a related party of $25,000 (from Dharam V. Sikka, father of CEO) pursuant to a convertible note payable issued in May 2018, with the same interest rate and conversion terms as the Notes described above, initially maturing on December 31, 2018, which has been extended to March 31, 2019 and then again to December 31, 2019. Because the Notes are convertible into a variable number of shares of common stock based on a fixed dollar amount, in accordance with ASC Topic 480-10-50-2, the notes are recorded at the fair value of the shares issuable upon conversion. The excess of the fair value of shares issuable over the face value of the Notes is recorded as a discount to the note to be amortized into interest expense over the term of the note.

 

The remaining notes and all accrued interest were paid in October 2021. As the notes were settled in cash, no additional conversion premium is due.

Sikka, father of CEO) pursuant to a convertible note payable issued in May 2018, with the same interest rate and conversion terms as the Notes described above, initially maturing on December 31, 2018, which has been extended to March 31, 2019 and then again to December 31, 2019. Because the Notes are convertible into a variable number of shares of common stock based on a fixed dollar amount, in accordance with ASC Topic 480-10-50-2, the notes are recorded at the fair value of the shares issuable upon conversion. The excess of the fair value of shares issuable over the face value of the Notes is recorded as a discount to the note to be amortized into interest expense over the term of the note. The remaining notes and all accrued interest were paid in October 2021. As the notes were settled in cash, no additional conversion premium is due.

The Company is recording this amount at present value, in accordance with the standard, using an incremental borrowing rate by adjusting the benchmark reference rates with appropriate financing spreads and lease specific adjustments for the effects of collateral. The right of use asset will be composed of the sum of all lease payments plus any initial direct cost and will be straight line amortized over the life of the expected lease term. For the expected term of the lease the Company will use the term of the nine-year lease. This lease will be treated as an operating lease under the standard.

 

The Company has chosen to implement this standard using the modified retrospective model approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment, which does not require the Company to adjust the comparative periods presented when transitioning to the new guidance on January 1, 2019. The Company has also elected to utilize the transition related practical expedients permitted by the new standard. The modified retrospective approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption and in comparative periods that approximates the results of a modified retrospective approach.
