Introductory Comment
Unless otherwise indicated, any reference to “the
Company”, “our company”, “we”, “us”, or “our” refers to Tribal Rides International
Corp., a Nevada corporation.
PART I
Tribal Rides International Corp., a Nevada corporation
(the “Company”, “we”, or “us”), was incorporated on May 19, 2014 as “Trimax
Consulting, Inc.” On May 8, 2017, we changed our name to “Xinda International Corp.”
From incorporation through January 2020, we were
principally engaged in the business of marketing an array of property tax lien services including (a) identifying property tax lien auctions
and property tax liens for sale; (b) providing valuation services with regards to real property subject to property tax liens; and (c)
providing consultative and advisory services to property tax lien investors in regards to purchasing property tax liens, servicing property
tax liens and adjudicating property tax liens.
On January 18, 2020, we entered into an Asset Purchase
Agreement with Tribal Rides, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Tribal Rides”), pursuant to which we purchased certain assets
of Tribal Rides in exchange for the issuance of 25,000,000 shares of our Common Stock. On February 24, 2021, we changed our name to “Tribal
Rides International Corp.”
After the asset purchase, we are now engaged in a
business that is in the research and development stage of disrupting current ride-sharing paradigms. We are a transportation technology
company creating the future of personal mobility with a unique, patented focus on autonomous vehicles. We believe that the mobility ecosystem
and marketplace we are creating, based upon our innovative patent and patent-pending technologies, will enable us to address current
ridesharing demands and those of the rapidly emerging autonomous vehicle personal mobility market. We are focused on having a significant
impact in the emerging self-driving car marketplace.1
Our Principal Products or Services and Markets
We are developing a cloud-based Systems as a Solution
(“SaaS”) interface for a comprehensive social network and mobile app. Our planned E-commerce module will enable users
to create and manage their own highly personalized transportation experience; to form and/or join groups; collaborate on cost-saving
strategies; find, schedule, obtain transportation services from within the groups in which they belong, and easily and securely conduct
financial transactions.
We believe that the approximately ten to fourteen
million shared-ride drivers in the United States are possible customers for our SaaS services and software and they too may be able to
move forward with the autonomous vehicles and their expanded scope of services.
Autonomous Driving Vehicle Global Market:
Autonomous vehicles are slowly gaining market share.
While in 2019, there were some 31 million vehicles with at least some level of automation in operation worldwide, that number is expected
to surpass 54 million in 2024. Correspondingly, the global autonomous car market is projected to grow as well. Although the market shrank
by around 3% in 2020 due to the economic slowdown caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, it is forecast that between 2020 and 2023, the market
will grow by almost 60%.2
Some estimate that the autonomous vehicle industry
is expected to generate global revenue of $173 billion in the next three years and autonomous ride-sharing is widely seen as the next
big step for the industry. The development of autonomous vehicles is set to generate global revenue of $173 billion dollars by 2023
with the ride-sharing market playing a primary role in the development and marketing of the technology.3
The industry is forecasted to be $2.195 billion in 2030.

Shared-Ride and Taxi Market (UBER/Lyft/Didi, etc.) (Domestic)
|
· |
$117 billion forecasted for 2021. |
|
· |
$220 billion forecasted by 2025; CAGR of 20.2%. |
|
· |
Smartphone penetration into the market is the key to industry businesses’ success. |
|
· |
A quarter of the U.S. population uses ride-sharing for transport at least once a month. |
|
· |
There are great differences between drivers in different segments of the industry. |
Shared-Ride and Taxi Market (UBER/Lyft/Didi, etc.) (International)
|
· |
The global ride share market is projected to grow at a CAGR of
16.6% during the forecast period, from an estimated $85.8 billion in 2021 to $185.1 billion by 2026. Ride sharing services were the
most preferred services before the pandemic, as they offered a convenient and cost-effective means of personal mobility with the
help of a transportation network system. |
|
· |
The autonomous vehicle market is projected to be approximately 15+
times that of the Shared-Ride and Taxi Market by 2030.45 |
Environmental, Social and Governance
The world’s cities are expanding with a resulting
suburban daily automobile commute that is un-scalable and over-crowding infrastructure. The average commuter spends nearly as much annually
on vehicles, their maintenance and fuel as they do on housing. We believe that this is proving to be unsustainable both fiscally and
environmentally.
While electric vehicles reduce some of the environmental
burden, they do not improve our clogged roadways nor greatly reduce the cost burden of vehicle ownership. We believe the emergence of
self-driving cars enhanced by our Mobility as a Service (“MAAS”) platform will bring another wave of societal and
environmental transformation, making carpooling safer, optimized and convenient resulting in fewer vehicles on the road, and a corresponding
reduction in congestion and damaging emissions. Furthering this benefit, we believe that our patented “Anticipatory Deployment”
algorithms will help anticipate demand and may deploy cars in a more optimized and efficient manner than current methods.
We also believe that creating, developing and rewarding
a cooperative community of users, developers and vendors through ownership stock grants will inspire loyalty to our platform, create
a priority of use and commitment, and will provide for financial advancement while reducing the costs of vehicle use and ownership.
Distribution
We are developing a cloud-based SaaS shared-ride
application and interface for a comprehensive social network and mobile app for both Drivers and Riders.
Our current plans are to release our Driver and Rider
applications in three phases.
Phase 1 (February 2022): The first phase was the
release of a Minimum Viable Product (“MVP”) for both approved drivers and riders which included GPS, routing, financial
transaction capabilities, rider/driver selections and reservation, fixed fee and variable route costs, and will have various payment
options. Although extremely functional, it will not include many planned, patent-pending and more complex algorithms. Both Driver and
Rider applications were released on Apple and Android Operating systems and were available on the associated “stores.” Although
both applications can be downloaded, only drivers approved by us will be able to participate in this first phase roll-out and only those
located in Southern California. Our plan is to continuously update our designs for both applications with more of these feature enhancements
and “bug fixes.”

5 https://www.marketwatch.com/press-release/ride-sharing-market-size-soaring-at-cagr-of-2021-by-2026-2021-03-12
Phase 2 (2023): After successfully achieving Phase
1’s major milestones in 2022, we have redesigned and added important and enhanced features sets, as well as identifying the bugs
and shortcoming to the MVP. Once the applications are “hardened” and additional feature sets incorporated, we will be releasing
both applications and encouraging new Drivers and Riders to use our applications within our Tribal Rides platform. Phase 2 will enable
us to rewrite the applications to be more scalable with improved transparency for financial transactions, incorporating our improved
understanding of driver and rider preferences, enhance the application, incorporate additional patent and patent-pending technologies,
and to plan on additional transportation alternatives.
Phase 3: will provide a stable and enhanced application
for both Drivers and Riders, while planning for and incorporating next-generation self-driving car capabilities as well as other transportation
alternatives.
Marketing
Although still in its infancy, our marketing
plan successfully reached out through various social media outlets to communicate directly with drivers and riders who will be
interested in our new and innovative features and functions for shared rides. We plan on continuing and enhancing these activities
through 2023.
We also recently engaged SRAX, Inc., a firm that
specializes in investor relations and public awareness campaigns through a sophisticated targeted marketing platform. This 12-month relationship
assures us continued increased visibility to potential investors, strategic partners, driver professionals and consumer. This marketing
campaign is being deployed in April 2023 and will aggressively ramp up throughout the rest of the year.
Status of Our Publicly Announced Products or
Services
Our SaaS interface is still in the development stage.
Competition
Although we believe that our disruptive technology
and ecosystem have many unique capabilities, we will be competing with the current shared-ride provider community, both domestically
and internationally including: Uber, Lyft, Wingz, Gett, Getaround, BlaBlaCar, RelayRides, Ridejoy, and Justsharelt.
Intellectual Property
We have patent and patent pending technologies with
a focus on artificial intelligence (“AI”), machine learning with optimization and Smart Deployment algorithms. It
involves anticipating demand for passengers and dispatching cars in advance – to reduce wait-time, increasing utilization of vehicles,
and decrease cost. It includes new and efficient system for tracking and charging customers with preferred rates, supply and demand rates,

Government Regulation and Effects on Our Business
Once we have developed our
products and services, we will operate in a particularly complex legal and regulatory environment. Our business will be subject to a
variety of U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules, and regulations, including those related to Internet activities, privacy,
cybersecurity, data protection, intellectual property, competition, consumer protection, payments, labor and employment, transportation
services, transportation network companies, licensing regulations and taxation. These laws and regulations are constantly evolving and
may be interpreted, applied, created, or amended, in a manner that could harm our business.
Employees
As of April 17, 2023, we had two full-time employees,
Steven Ritacco and Donald Smith, respectively, and no part-time employees. All work is currently being accomplished by sub-contractors.
Not applicable to “smaller reporting companies.”

____________________
(1) The first trade of our Common Stock did not occur until
January 1, 2021.
Our common stock is considered to be penny stock
under rules promulgated by the SEC. Under these rules, broker-dealers participating in transactions in these securities must first deliver
a risk disclosure document which describes risks associated with these stocks, broker-dealers’ duties, customers’ rights
and remedies, market and other information, and make suitability determinations approving the customers for these stock transactions
based on financial situation, investment experience and objectives. Broker-dealers must also disclose these restrictions in writing,
provide monthly account statements to customers, and obtain specific written consent of each customer. With these restrictions, the likely
effect of designation as a penny stock is to decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to make a market for the stock, to decrease the
liquidity of the stock and increase the transaction cost of sales and purchases of these stocks compared to other securities.
Holders
As of the close of business on April 17, 2023, we
had approximately 26 holders of our common stock. The number of record holders was determined from the records of our transfer agent
and does not include beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of various security brokers, dealers, and registered
clearing agencies. We have appointed Olde Monmouth Stock Transfer Co Inc., 200 Memorial Parkway, Atlantic Highlands, NJ 07716, to act
as transfer agent for the common stock.
Dividends
We have never declared a cash dividend on our common
stock and our Board of Directors does not anticipate that we will pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination
to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our financial condition, operating results,
capital requirements, restrictions contained in our agreements and other factors which our Board of Directors deems relevant.

Effective June 20, 2020, the Company granted options to
purchase an aggregate of 300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, exercisable at $0.01 per share, with 100,000 options
awarded to each of Messrs. Grimes, Prasad, and Ritacco. |
(2) |
On November 10, 2021, the Company issued warrants to purchase
up to 750,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, exercisable at $1.00 per share to AJB Capital Investments, LLC pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 10, 2021. |
(3) |
Effective June 20, 2020, the Company approved and authorized
the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which authorized 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock
for future issuances under the Plan. |
2020 Stock Incentive Plan
Effective June 20, 2020, the Board of Directors adopted
the Plan. The purposes of the Plan are (a) to enhance our ability to attract and retain the services of qualified employees, officers,
directors, consultants, and other service providers upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the successful conduct and development
of our business largely depends, and (b) to provide additional incentives to such persons or entities to devote their utmost effort and
skill to the advancement and betterment of our company, by providing them an opportunity to participate in the ownership of our Company
and thereby have an interest in the success and increased value of our Company.
The Plan is administered by our board of directors;
however, the board of directors may designate administration of the Plan to a committee consisting of at least two independent directors.
Only employees of our Company or of an “Affiliated Company”, as defined in the Plan, (including members of the board of directors
if they are employees of our Company or of an Affiliated Company) are eligible to receive incentive stock options under the Plan. Employees
of our Company or of an Affiliated Company, members of the board of directors (whether or not employed by our company or an Affiliated
Company), and “Service Providers”, as defined in the Plan, are eligible to receive non-qualified options, restricted stock
units, and stock appreciation rights under the Plan. All awards are subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
No option awards may be exercisable more than ten
years after the date it is granted. In the event of termination of employment for cause, the options terminate on the date of employment
is terminated. In the event of termination of employment for disability or death, the optionee or administrator of optionee’s estate
or transferee has six months following the date of termination to exercise options received at the time of disability or death. In the
event of termination for any other reason other than for cause, disability or death, the optionee has 30 days to exercise his or her
options.
The Plan will continue in effect until all the stock
available for grant or issuance has been acquired through exercise of options or grants of shares, or until ten years after its adoption,
whichever is earlier. Awards under the Plan may also be accelerated in the event of certain corporate transactions such as a merger or
consolidation or the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all our assets.
There are 2,500,000 shares authorized for issuance
under the Plan.
As of December 31, 2022, the Board had granted options
to purchase 300,000 shares Common Stock under the Plan.
Stock Options
We have issued options to purchase 300,000 shares
of our common stock, as described herein.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On November 11, 2022, we issued 500,000 shares each
to Don Smith, our CFO, and Steve Ritacco, our CIO, pursuant to the terms of their employment agreements. The total of 1,000,000 shares,
which became vested on July 1, 2022, were valued at $300,000 or $0.30 per share which was the value of our stock on their date of grant.
The shares issued in reliance
upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D under
the Securities Act, based in part on the representations of the investors. There were no sales commissions paid pursuant to these transactions.

The accompanying financial statements of the Company
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Forward-Looking Statements

are not recitations of historical fact, such statements constitute forward- looking statements which, by definition involve risks and
uncertainties. Where in any forward-looking statements, if we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation
or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the statement of expectation
or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished.
Factors that may cause differences between actual

You should not rely on forward-looking statements
in this document. This managements’ discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We use
words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “future,” “intends,”
and similar expressions to identify these forward-looking statements. Prospective investors should not place undue reliance on these
statements, which apply only as of the date of this document. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The following discussions are based upon our financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Going Concern Considerations
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of our Company
as a going concern. We currently have no revenues, have incurred net losses, and have an accumulated deficit of $2,020,406 as of December
31, 2022. The continuation of our Company as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the
attainment of profitable operations from any future business we may acquire. There are no assurances that we will be successful
in obtaining sufficient capital to continue as a going concern. If our working capital needs are not met and we are unable to obtain
adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Intellectual Property
We have patent and patent pending technologies with
a focus on artificial intelligence (“AI”), machine learning with optimization and Smart Deployment algorithms. It
involves anticipating demand for passengers and dispatching cars in advance to reduce wait-time, increasing utilization of vehicles,
and decreasing cost. It includes a new and efficient system for tracking and charging customers with preferred rates, supply and demand
rates, and “specific” community engagement.
Patent expenses, consisting mainly of patent filing
fees, have been capitalized and are shown as an asset on our balance sheet. We amortize our Patent asset over the remaining life of the
Patent, which is approximately 10 years.
Long-lived Assets
We follow ASC 360-10-15-3, Impairment or Disposal
of Long-lived Assets, which established a “primary asset” approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group
of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used. Long-lived assets
to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows
expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the
lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Common Stock Issued for Services
Our accounting policy for equity instruments issued
to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”)
96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods
or Services, codified into ASC 505 Equity. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined
at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which
the consultant or vendor's performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity
instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement at various performance completion dates, and for unvested instruments,
at each reporting date. Compensation expense, once recorded, may not be reversed.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements
that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements
that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position and result of operations.
Trends and Uncertainties
Demand for our products is dependent on general economic
conditions, which are cyclical in nature. Because a major portion of our activities are the receipt of revenues from our services and
products, our business operations may be adversely affected by competitors and prolonged recessionary periods.
There are no other known trends, events or uncertainties
that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our short-term or long-term liquidity. Sources of liquidity will come
from the sale of our products and services. There are no material commitments for capital expenditure at this time. There are no trends,
events or uncertainties that have had or are reasonably expected to have a material impact on the net sales or revenues or income from
continuing operations. There are no significant elements of income or loss that do not arise from the registrant’s continuing operations.
There are no other known causes for any material changes from period to period in one or more line items of our financial statements.
Impact of COVID-19
During the year 2021, the effects of a new coronavirus
(“COVID-19”) and related actions to attempt to control its spread began to impact our business. The impact of COVID-19
on our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2021 was limited, in all material respects, due to the government mandated numerous
measures, including closures of businesses, limitations on movements of individuals and goods, and the imposition of other restrictive
measures, in its efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 within the country.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization
designated COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Governments around the world have mandated, and continue to introduce, orders to slow the transmission
of the virus, including but not limited to shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, significant restrictions on travel, as well as work
restrictions that prohibit many employees from going to work. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has introduced
significant volatility in the financial markets.
Results of Operations for the Year Ended December
31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021
For both years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021,
we had no revenues.
Our operating expenses for
the year ended December 31, 2022 were $1,098,690 compared to $304,024 for the year ended December 31, 2021. In 2022, we incurred an expense
of $600,000 for common stock issued and issuable to our Chief Financial and Chief Information Officers in connection with the terms of
their amended employment agreements. In 2022, we also incurred an expense of $334,000 related to the investor relations agreement with
SRAX, Inc. as described in Note 9 to the accompanying financial statements. In 2021 the expense related to our agreement with SRAX was
$166,000. Also in 2022, we recorded a $20,000 expense paid to a firm to provide DTC eligibility services to our Company. Finally in 2022,
our professional fees include an expense of $42,000 for our Chief Financial Officer hired in November 2021. This cost was partially offset
by a reduction of $26,535 in our accounting fees.
Our other income/expense
for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled net expenses of $392,823 compared to $46,116 in net expenses in the 2021 period. The 2022
period included debt discount amortization of $208,287 related to the convertible promissory note described in Note 6 to the accompanying
financial statements. The 2022 period also included interest expense of $34,931 versus $6,317 in 2021, with the increase primarily related
to the convertible promissory note referred to above. Finally, in 2022 we recorded a net loss on extinguishment of debt of $149,605, mainly
due to a $150,000 debt extinguishment cost resulting from a debt extension agreement for our convertible promissory note. In the 2021
period, we recorded a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $41,914 in connection with the repayment of a promissory note.
Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022
of $1,491,513 ($0.04 per share) compares to a net loss of $350,140 ($0.01 per share) in the previous year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have previously raised
capital through debt financing, advances from related parties and private placements of our common stock to meet operating needs. During
the year ended December 31, 2022, we issued a promissory note to a note holder and received $20,000 in proceeds. As of December 31, 2022,
we have $4,213 in cash, and we will need to raise additional funds to execute our current plan of operation. If we are unable to raise
sufficient funds to execute our plan of operation, we intend to scale back our operations commensurately with the funds available to
us. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations.
We have no plant or significant equipment to sell,
nor are we going to buy any plant or significant equipment during the next 12 months.
Balance Sheets
As of December 31, 2022, we had cash of $4,213 and
total assets of $137,652 compared with cash of $121,481 and total assets of $505,313 as of December 31, 2021. Our total liabilities increased
in the 2022 period compared to 2021 by $367,852 due to increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities ($41,876), notes payable,
net of debt discount ($223,287) and related party advances ($102,680).
During the year ended December 31, 2022 we issued
or became obligated to issue shares of our common stock as follows: 2,000,000 shares to our CFO and CTO in accordance with the terms
of their employment agreements, 24,000 shares in settlement of a promissory note, and 600,000 shares for the extension of the maturity
date of our convertible note payable.
Cash Flows
During the year ended December
31, 2022, we used cash of $154,504 in our operating activities versus $112,579 in the comparable 2021 period. This use of cash in the
2022 period was caused by our net loss of $1,491,513 offset to some degree by the total non-cash items of shares issued for services,
shares issued in accordance with terms of employment agreements, loss on extinguishment of debt, amortization of debt discount, and changes
in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and deferred revenue. In the 2021 period, our net loss of $350,140 was offset mainly by
non-cash items of shares issued for services and, gain on extinguishment of debt, amortization of debt discount, and changes in accounts
payable and accrued liabilities.
Our investing activities
used cash of $85,444 and $47,294 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily related to costs incurred in
the development of our digital transportation platform.
In the year ended December 31, 2022, we
generated $122,680 in financing activities from the issuance of a note payable of $20,000 as well as proceeds from related party
advances of $102,680. For the comparable period in 2021, our financing activities in 2021 produced cash of $244,450 from the
convertible promissory note discussed in Note 6 plus proceeds of $5,000 from the issuance of a promissory note. In addition, in 2021
we had net advances from related parties of $36,904.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements
that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity capital expenditures or capital resources.
Emerging Growth Company
We are an “emerging growth company,”
as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. Certain specified reduced reporting and other regulatory
requirements that are available to public companies that are emerging growth companies include:
|
1. |
an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment
of our internal controls over financial reporting required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; |
|
|
|
|
2. |
an exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting
standards until they would apply to private companies; |
|
|
|
|
3. |
an exemption from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s
report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about our audit and our financial statements; and |
|
|
|
|
4. |
reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements. |
We have elected to take advantage of the exemption
from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they apply to private companies. As a result of this election,
our financial statements may not be comparable to public companies required to adopt these new requirements.
| ITEM 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
As a “smaller reporting company,” we
are not required to furnish information under this Item 7A.
| ITEM 8. | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY
DATA. |
The financial statements and supplementary data required
by this item are included following the signature page of this Annual Report.
| ITEM 9. | CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH
ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE. |
None.
| ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures
that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, as such, is accumulated and communicated to our Chief
Executive Officer, Joseph Grimes who serves as our principal executive officer, and our Chief Financial Officer, Don Smith who serves
as our principal accounting and financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Messrs. Grimes
and Smith evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as
of December 31, 2022. Based on their evaluation, Messrs. Grimes and Smith concluded that, due to a material weakness in our internal
control over financial reporting as described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2022.
In light of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, we completed substantive procedures, including validating
the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used for accounting prior to filing this Annual Report.
These additional procedures have allowed us to conclude
that, notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, the consolidated financial statements included
in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods
presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Management’s Report on Internal Control
over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Internal control
over financial reporting is a process designed 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.
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.
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 based upon Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013)
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
During its evaluation, management noted certain matters
involving internal control and its operation that we consider to be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses under standards of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). A control deficiency exists when the design or operation
of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect
misstatements on a timely basis.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We noted deficiencies involving lack of segregation
of duties, lack of governance/oversight, and lack of internal control documentation that we believe to be material weaknesses.
Because of this material weaknesses, management concluded
that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria described in
Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
Remediation of the Material Weakness
We are evaluating the material weaknesses and developing
a plan of remediation to strengthen our overall internal control over financial reporting. The remediation plan will include the creation
and adoption of a formal policy manual specifically dealing with financial controls.
We are committed to maintaining a strong internal
control environment and we believe that these remediation efforts will represent significant improvements in our controls. Some of these
steps will take time to be fully integrated and confirmed to be effective and sustainable. Additional controls may also be required over
time. Until the remediation steps set forth above are fully implemented and tested, the material weakness described above will continue
to exist.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control
over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during our most recent fiscal quarter ended December 31,
2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Important Considerations
The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations,
judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of
human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk
that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures
may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures
or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information
known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

Directors are elected to serve until the next annual
meeting of stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified. A majority of the authorized number of directors constitutes
a quorum of the Board of Directors for the transaction of business. The directors must be present at the meeting to constitute a quorum.
However, any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if all members of the
Board of Directors individually or collectively consent in writing to the action.
Business Experience of Executive Officers and
Directors
The principal occupation and business experience
during the past five years for our executive officers and directors is as follows:
Joseph Grimes: Mr. Grimes has served as our
Chief Executive Officer and director since January 18, 2020. Mr. Grimes has over 20 years of executive and managerial level positions
leading large teams who successfully executed complex business strategies. His notable achievements include launching new products and
companies, and establishing new software development and manufacturing enterprises domestically and overseas. For 12 years, he was founder
and President of ISERA Group, where he directed efforts resulting in 12 Small Business Innovative Research Grants, managed five teams
of software designers and developed sophisticated Decision Support Software Systems (DSSS) for Commercial, Military and Government sectors.
He is the Founder and CEO of Tribal Rides, Inc from 2014 to present.
He has programming experience in OOP in C++ and VB with Access and SQL
Server, DBMS.
Don Smith: Mr. Smith has served as our Chief
Financial Officer since November 18, 2021. From January 1998 to the present, Mr. Smith has served as President of Emerald Palms LLC Consulting
and Professional Tax & Accounting. From January 2019 to February 2020, Mr. Smith served as Vice-President Sales and Business Development
at Singlepoint, Inc. From October 2016 to October 2018, Mr. Smith served as Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, and a director of
Smart Cannabis Inc. (OTC: SCNA).
Steven Ritacco: Mr. Ritacco has served as
a director since June 1, 2020 and as our Chief Technology Officer since November 18, 2021. From April 2001 until the present, Mr. Ritacco
has served as President of KeptPrivate Inc./Proxemi. From September 2015 until March 2018, Mr. Ritacco served as Chief Technology Officer
of Blue NRGY Group Ltd. Mr. Ritacco received an undergraduate degree from the University of Rhode Island.
Sanjay Prasad: Mr. Prasad has served as a

July 2020 until the present, Mr. Prasad has been a partner at Appleton Luff, a boutique international law firm. From July 2013 until

a business executive at Intellectual Ventures and IPVALUE Management. Mr. Prasad received a law degree from the Syracuse University College
of Law, and graduate and undergraduate degrees in computer and electrical engineering, respectively, from Boston University.
Legal Proceedings
During the past ten years there have been no events
under any bankruptcy act, no criminal proceedings and no judgments, injunctions, orders or decrees material to the evaluation of the
ability and integrity of any of our directors or executive officers, and none of these persons has been involved in any judicial or administrative
proceedings resulting from involvement in mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity, any judicial or administrative
proceedings based on violations of federal or state securities, commodities, banking or insurance laws or regulations, or any disciplinary
sanctions or orders imposed by a stock, commodities or derivatives exchange or other self-regulatory organization.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between any of
our directors and executive officers.
Director Independence
We are not currently subject to listing requirements
of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the board of directors
be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority
of “independent directors.”
We currently have not established any committees
of the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees
in the future. We do not have a nominating committee or a nominating committee charter. Further, we do not have a policy with regard
to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. To date, other than as described above, no security
holders have made any such recommendations. The entire Board of Directors performs all functions that would otherwise be performed by
committees. Given the present size of our board it is not practical for us to have committees. If we are able to grow our business and
increase our operations, we intend to expand the size of our board and allocate responsibilities accordingly.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s
directors, executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file
with the Commission reports regarding initial ownership and changes in ownership. Directors, executive officers, and greater than 10%
stockholders are required by the Commission to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, Joseph
Grimes had an obligation to file a Form 4; however, the Form 3 was not timely filed. In addition, Joseph Grimes and Steven Ritacco each
had obligations to file a Form 4; however, the Form 4s were not timely filed.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a Code of Ethics. We have had
minimal operations or business and have not generated any revenues and have limited members of management, including one sole executive
officer. Due to this, we feel that the adoption of a Code of Ethics would not serve the primary purpose of such a code to provide a manner
of conduct as the development, execution and enforcement of such a code would be by the same persons and only persons to whom such code
applied. At such time as we commence more significant business operations, the current officers and directors will recommend that such
a code be adopted.
| ITEM 11. | EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. |
The following table sets forth information concerning
the annual compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to the following named executive officers for all services rendered in all capacities

Under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, a beneficial owner
of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or
otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment
power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned
by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares
are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of
an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person,
the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the number of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person)
by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the above table
does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock
actually outstanding on the April 17, 2023. |

| ITEM 13. | CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE. |
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
For transactions with our executive officers, please
see the disclosure under “ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.” above.
Asset Purchase with Tribal Rides, Inc.
On January 18, 2020, we entered into an Asset Purchase
Agreement with Tribal Rides pursuant to which we purchased certain assets of Tribal Rides in exchange for the issuance of 25,000,000
shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Mr. Grimes, our CEO, is also the CEO of Tribal Rides. Mr. Grimes is also a shareholder of
Tribal Rides.
On January 13, 2022, Tribal Rides transferred 20,000,000
shares to Mr. Grimes.
Director Independence
We are not currently subject to listing requirements
of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the board of directors
be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority
of “independent directors.” Although we have not adopted the independence standards any national securities exchange
to determine the independence of directors, the NYSE MKT LLC provides that a person will be considered an independent director if he
or she is not an officer of the company and is, in the view of our board of directors, free of any relationship that would interfere
with the exercise of independent judgment. Under this standard, our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Prasad and Ritacco
would meet this standard, and therefore, would be considered to be independent.
| ITEM 14. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND
SERVICES. |
Fees Paid
Audit Fees
The aggregate fees billed for professional services
rendered by our principal accountants for the audit of our annual financial statements, review of financial statements included in the
quarterly reports and other fees that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or
engagements for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $29,827 and $28,000 for the period ended December 31, 2021.
Audit-Related Fees
There were no fees billed for assurance and related
services by our principal accountants that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the financial statements,
other than those reported above, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Tax Fees
There were no fees billed for professional services
rendered by our principal accountants for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning in the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
All Other Fees
There were no other fees billed for products or services
provided by the principal accountants, other than those previously reported above, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Audit Committee
We do not have an Audit Committee; therefore, the
Board of Directors has considered whether the non-audit services provided by our auditors to us are compatible with maintaining the independence
of our auditors and concluded that the independence of our auditors is not compromised by the provision of such services. Our Board of
Directors pre-approves all auditing services and permitted non-audit services, including the fees and terms of those services, to be
performed for us by our independent auditor prior to engagement.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Tribal
Rides International Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of
Tribal Rides International Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related statements of operations, stockholders’
deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, 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, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.
Going Concern Matter
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 no revenue,
suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue
as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2 to the financial statements. 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 the Company’s 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 audit 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 audit, 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 the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical
audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated
to the board of directors 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. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Business |
Organization and Business
We were incorporated on May 19,
2014 in the State of Nevada as Trimax Consulting, Inc. with an initial business plan of providing real estate consulting services and
purchasing tax liens. On March 16, 2017, Newfield Global Holdings Limited acquired 25.0 million shares of our common stock representing
96.3% of our then outstanding shares. Upon election of a new Board of Directors and appointment of new management, we altered our business
plan to provide end-to-end Human Resource services. On May 8, 2017, we filed an Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation changing our
name to Xinda International Corp. On February 24, 2021, we filed an Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation changing our name to Tribal
Rides International Corp. On February 23, 2022, we filed an application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”)
to change our ticker symbol. Until that change is made, our ticker symbol remains XNDA.
We are engaged in the business
of digital transformation of transportation. The digital transportation enablement and enhancement platform provides fully automated dispatching
and bookings management built for taxi companies, limousine companies and ride-sharing service providers. The platform gives customers
an app-based experience and provides service providers a range of functions which include customer booking, accounts management, driver
tracking, real-time notifications, auto dispatching algorithms, accounting and settlements, corporate account management as well as providing
reporting and analytics. The platform has also shown to have a direct application in the B2B space in providing corporations with a more
efficient taxi chit solution to combat fraud and excessive administration costs.
Although we have made progress
on our platform, it is continuing to undergo beta testing while we await additional funding. We hope to launch the next phase of release
during the year ending December 31, 2023. We have focused on expanding some of the transportation capabilities and bug fixing. One significant
addition to the financial transaction capabilities of our platform is the successful registration and qualification for using the Paypal
financial transaction features to supplement our current Stripe capabilities.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
We have prepared the accompanying
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Our Company’s year-end is December
31.
Going Concern Considerations
The accompanying financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation
of our Company as a going concern. We currently have no revenues, have incurred net losses, and have an accumulated deficit of $2,020,406
as of December 31, 2022. The continuation of our Company as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise equity or debt financing,
and the attainment of profitable operations from any future business we may acquire. There are no assurances that we will be successful
in obtaining sufficient capital to continue as a going concern. If our working capital needs are not met and we are unable to obtain adequate
capital, we could be forced to cease operations.
The accompanying financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if our Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all short-term investments
readily convertible to cash, without notice or penalty, with an initial maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Our cash balance
was $4,213 and $121,481 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Internal Use Software Development
We account
for costs incurred to develop or purchase computer software for internal use in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
350-40 “Internal-Use Software” or ASC 350-50 “Website Costs”. As required by ASC 350-40, we capitalize the costs incurred
during the application development stage, which include costs to design the software configuration and interfaces, coding, installation,
and testing.
Costs
incurred during the preliminary project stage along with post-implementation stages of internal use computer software are expensed as
incurred. Capitalized development costs, once placed into service, are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of five years,
management’s estimate of the economic life. Costs incurred to maintain existing product offerings are expensed as incurred. Our
software platform has not yet been placed into service. The capitalization and ongoing assessment of recoverability of development costs
requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological and
economic feasibility, and estimated economic life.
Intellectual Property
We have patent and patent pending
technologies with a focus on artificial intelligence (“AI”), machine learning with optimization and Smart Deployment algorithms.
It involves anticipating demand for passengers and dispatching cars in advance – to reduce wait-time, increasing utilization of
vehicles, and decrease cost. It includes new and efficient system for tracking and charging customers with preferred rates, supply and
demand rates, and “specific” community engagement.
Patent expenses, consisting mainly
of patent filing fees, have been capitalized and are shown as an asset on our balance sheet. We amortize our Patent asset over the remaining
life of the Patent, which is approximately ten (10) years.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as
the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous
market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting
guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes
the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that
market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent
of our Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants
would use in valuing the asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels of inputs that may be used
to measure fair value:
|
Level 1 |
|
— |
|
Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 2 |
|
— |
|
Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable in the marketplace either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 3 |
|
— |
|
Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity. |
For assets and liabilities,
such as cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying
amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Fair Value Hierarchy of
assets and liabilities that are recognized and measured at fair value in the financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 (level
3 inputs are not applicable):

Financial risk factors
As our software platform
has not yet been launched and we believe our activities do not yet expose us to any market, credit or liquidity risk.
Long-lived Assets
We follow ASC 360-10-15-3, Impairment
or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, which established a “primary asset” approach to determine the cash flow estimation period
for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used. Long-lived
assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted
cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at
the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Revenue Recognition
At our inception, we adopted ASU
2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Under this guidance, operating revenue is recognized at the time a
good or service is transferred to a customer and the customer receives the service performed. Our revenue arrangements with customers
are predominantly short-term in nature involving a single performance obligation related to the delivery of the service and generally
provide for transfer of control at the time payment for the service is received.
We exclude from the measurement
of the transaction price, if applicable, all taxes imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected
by us from a customer, including sales, use, excise, value-added, and franchise taxes (collectively referred to as sales taxes). Sales
taxes which may be collected are not recognized as revenue but are included in accounts payable on the balance sheets as they would ultimately
be remitted to governmental authorities. No such taxes have yet been charged or collected.
We have elected the practical
expedient permitted in ASC 606-10-32-18, which allows an entity to recognize the promised amount of consideration without adjusting for
the effects of a significant financing component if the contract has a duration of one year or less. Our revenue arrangements are short-term
in nature and do not have significant financing components, therefore we have not adjusted consideration.
Debt Issued with Common Stock/Warrants
Debt issued with common stock/warrants
is accounted for under the guidelines established by ASC 470-20 – Accounting for Debt With Conversion or Other Options. We record
the relative fair value of common stock and warrants related to the issuance of debt as a debt discount or premium. The discount
or premium is subsequently amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the debt.
Common Stock Issued for Services
Our accounting policy for equity
instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force
(“EITF”) 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction
with Selling, Goods or Services, codified into ASC 505 Equity. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments
issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii)
the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair
value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement at various performance completion dates, and for
unvested instruments, at each reporting date. Compensation expense, once recorded, may not be reversed.
Stock option grants are valued
using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. The assumptions include the risk-free rate of interest, expected dividend yield,
expected volatility, and the expected term of the award. The risk-free rate of interest was based on the U.S. Treasury bond rates appropriate
for the expected term of the award. There are no expected dividends as we do not currently plan to pay dividends on our common stock.
Expected stock price volatility was based on historical volatility levels of our common stock. The expected term is estimated by using
the actual contractual term of the option grants and the expected length of time for the employees to exercise the options.
Stock awards issuable pursuant
to employment agreements are valued at the fair market value of our stock at the date on which each award, or portion thereof, vests.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in
accordance with ASC 740 - Income Taxes, which requires us to provide a net deferred tax asset/liability equal to the expected future
tax benefit/expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting methods and any available operating loss or tax
credit carry forwards. Tax law and rate changes are reflected in income in the period such changes are enacted. We record a valuation
allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We include interest and penalties
related to income taxes, including unrecognized tax benefits, within the provision for income taxes.
Net Loss Per Share
We compute net loss per share
in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”)
on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator)
by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential
common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method.
Diluted EPS excludes all potential dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had no potentially
dilutive shares.
New Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all accounting
pronouncements recently issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC and have determined that
they are either not applicable or are not believed to have a material impact on our present or future financial statements.

Beginning in the fourth quarter
of 2021, we began developing our digital transportation enablement and enhancement platform for customer use. During the years ended December
31, 2022 and 2021, we capitalized $126,709 and $44,000 of such costs representing the costs incurred in the application development stage,
which include costs to design and program the software configuration and interfaces, coding, installation and testing. Once the software
is installed and fully tested and we begin to use it for its intended purposes, which we estimate will be in calendar 2023, the costs
will be amortized over a five- year period, which is the expected useful life. Additional costs to maintain the software will be expensed.
Equipment consists of computers.
Depreciation and amortization
of software and equipment amounted to $1,106 and $222 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
We have patent and patent pending
technologies with a focus on artificial intelligence (“AI”), machine learning with optimization and Smart Deployment algorithms.
The technologies involve anticipating demand for passengers and dispatching cars in advance – to reduce wait-time, increasing utilization
of vehicles, and decrease cost. It includes new and efficient system for tracking and charging customers with preferred rates, supply
and demand rates, and “specific” community engagement.
We currently own the following
patents which have been issued and which are pending:
|
· |
U.S. Patent 9,984,574, issued May 29, 2018, claims priority to provisional application filed on Jan. 21, 2014; |

|
· |
Pending U.S. application, unpublished, claims priority to three provisional applications filed on Nov. 4, 2019. |
The software platform that underlies
the patents have not created any revenue to date and there is no assurance that any revenue will be created from the patent technologies.
As a result, we have recorded the patent asset at the cost of patent fees and other expenses incurred to produce and file the patents.
During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded patent amortization expense of $732 and $513, respectively.

Convertible Promissory Note
On November 10, 2021 (the “Issue
Date”), we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with a third party (the “Lender”), for
the purchase of a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $290,000. The Note carries an original
issue discount of $29,000 along with a requirement to pay $16,550 in expenses. The total of $45,550 has been recorded as original issue
discount. As a result, we were provided $244,500 upon the Note’s execution. The Note was to mature on May 10, 2022, subject to a
six-month extension at our Company’s request. The Note accrued interest at 10% per annum from the Issue Date with monthly interest
payments being due at the beginning of each month. In the event the Note is extended for six months, the interest will accrue at 12% per
annum and, in the event of a default, interest will accrue at 20% per annum. The Note is secured by all of our Company’s assets.
In addition to the issuance of
the Note, we were obligated to issue to the Lender, as a commitment fee, 1,320,000 restricted shares of our common stock (the “Commitment
Shares”). Along with the issuance of the Commitment Shares, we were required to issue to the Lender a warrant to purchase 750,000
shares of our common stock (the “Warrant”). All or any part of the Warrant is immediately exercisable at $1.00 per share and
expires three years from the Issue Date. The Warrants are subject to adjustments as provided in the warrant agreement. The Commitment
Shares and Warrant were issued in February 2022.
On May 22, 2022, pursuant to our
Company’s request, the Note was extended for six months until November 10, 2022. On November 22, we signed a Modification-Extension
of Maturity Date letter from the note holder extending the maturity date of the Note to February 10, 2023. Under the terms of this letter,
we agreed to issue the note holder 600,000 restricted shares of our common stock which we valued at $150,000, or $0.25 per share, based
on the fair market value of our stock at the date of acceptance. This amount was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt as it represented
a major modification to the Note. The shares have not yet been issued but we are working with our transfer agent to have them issued.
After December 31, 2022, we reached an agreement with the noteholder to further extend the maturity date of the Note to August 1, 2023.
Under this further extension, we agreed among other things to issue the noteholder 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at a value of
$0.11 per share which was the closing price of our stock on the date of the agreement. See Note 10 for further information.
The Note is convertible only upon
an event of default (as defined in the Note) and is then convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of the our common stock at a conversion
price equal to the lesser of 90% multiplied by the lowest trading price (i) during the previous 20 trading day period ending on the Issue
Date, or (ii) during the previous 20 trading day period ending on the date of conversion of the Note (the “Conversion Price”).
The Conversion Price is subject to various adjustments, as specified in the Note. There has been no event of default to date.
While the Note is issued and outstanding,
our Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved five times the number of shares that are actually issuable upon full
conversion of the Note (based on the Conversion Price of the Note in effect from time to time) (the “Reserved Amount”). If,
at any time we do not maintain or replenish the Reserved Amount within three business days of the request of the Lender, the principal
amount of the Note will increase by $5,000 per occurrence. If we fail to maintain our status as “DTC Eligible” for any reason,
or, if the Conversion Price is less than $0.01 at any time after the Issue Date, the principal amount of the Note will be increased by
$5,000 and the Conversion Price will be redefined to mean 50% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined in the Note), subject to adjustments
(which includes an adjustment for anti-dilutive issuances). The Note and the SPA also contain various restrictions and grant to the Lender
various rights.
Upon an Event of Default, the Note will become immediately
due and payable, and our Company will pay to the Lender the Default Sum (as defined in the Note) or the Default Amount (as defined in
the Note).
We are amortized the debt discount over the initial
six-month term of the Note resulting in amortization of $208,287 and $81,713 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
During the years ended December
31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded interest expense for this note of $33,092 and $4,028, respectively.
Promissory Notes
On June 10, 2021, we issued a
promissory note to a non-related third party in the principal amount of $5,000. The note, which is unsecured, bears interest at 20% per
annum and was repayable December 10, 2021, six months from the date of issue. The creditor subsequently extended the due date of the note
to November 1, 2022. The promissory note contained a provision that, in the event of non-payment at maturity (an event of default), our
Company would be required to issue the note holder 24,000 shares of our common stock in full satisfaction of the promissory note. Because
of our non-payment at the November 1, 2022 due date, we became obligated to issue the note holder 24,000 common shares. We have recorded
the shares issuable under this provision at $6,000, or $0.25 per share, which was the fair market value of our stock at the date of our
obligation. The shares have not yet been issued but we are working with our transfer agent to have them issued. This transaction resulted
in a gain on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $395. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded interest expense
of $836 and $559, respectively. The accrued but unpaid interest at December 31, 2021 is included on the accompanying Balance Sheet in
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities.
On August 1, 2022, we issued a
promissory note to a non-related third party in the principal amount of $20,000. The note, which is unsecured, bears interest at 10% per
annum and is repayable January 26, 2023. The note is currently in default, and we are working with the note holder to extend the maturity
date. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded interest expense of $1,003 for this note. The accrued but unpaid interest as
of December 31, 2022 is included on the accompanying Balance Sheet in Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities.
Common Stock
We are authorized to issue 50,000,000
shares of our $0.00001 par value common stock and each holder is entitled to one (1) vote on all matters subject to a vote of stockholders.
We discovered an error whereby we previously reported our par value as $0.0001 per share. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 99,
Materiality, and SAB 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year
Financial Statements, we evaluated the materiality of the error from qualitative and quantitative perspectives, and concluded that
the error was immaterial to the Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021 and Statement of Operations, Changes in Stockholders’ Equity
(Deficit), and Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2021. We have corrected this error by making an out-of-period adjustment as
of December 31, 2022, reducing Balance Sheet amounts for both Common Stock and Common Stock to be Issued, and increasing the Balance Sheet
amount for Additional Paid-In Capital.
Common stock activity for the
years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was as follows:
2022

2020 Stock Incentive Plan
Effective June 20, 2020, our Board
of Directors adopted the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) authorizing a total of 2,500,000 shares of our common stock
for future issuances under the Plan. Under the Plan, the exercise price of a granted option shall not be less than 100% of the fair market
value on the date of grant (110% of the fair market value in the case of a 10% stockholder). Additionally, no option may be exercisable
more than ten (10) years after the date it is granted (no more than five (5) years in the case of a 10% stockholder).
Stock Options
On June 20, 2020, we granted options
to purchase 100,000 of our common shares to each of Messrs. Grimes, Prasad, and Ritacco, all Officers and/or Directors of our Company.
The options are exercisable at $0.01 per share, expire five (5) years from the date of grant, and vest ratably beginning December 20,
2021 over the term of the option.
The fair value of each stock option
was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and resulted in a de minimis valuation. The assumptions
used in determining the fair value of the stock options were as follows:

the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recorded a debt discount of $117,161
which is included in the total discount of $244,450
described in Note 6. The assumptions used in determining the fair value of the warrants were as follows:

Our Company has not filed any
federal income tax returns and we are currently not subject to state income tax filing requirements. As of December 31, 2022, we have
net operating loss carryforwards, on a book basis, of $518,048
which may be available to reduce various future years' federal taxable income. Future tax benefits which may result from these
losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly,
we have recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to the net operating loss carry forwards.

the current income tax provision for federal and state income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

During the year ended
December 31, 2022, the valuation reserve increased $41,920
compared to an increase of $30,293
during the year ended December 31, 2021. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is
more likely than not that our Company will not realize some portion or all of the deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of
deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences
become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income, and
tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined, as of December 31, 2022, that it was more
likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized.
As noted above, we have not filed
any federal tax returns, but we plan on bringing our tax filings current as soon as is practical.
Effective March 21, 2021, we entered
into an agreement with SRAX, Inc. under which SRAX agreed to provide investor relations services to us. The term of the agreement is one
year. Under the agreement, we agreed to compensate SRAX with 125,000 shares of our common stock, which shares were issued on June 1, 2021.

31, 2022 and 2021, the value of the services provided by SRAX were $334,000
