SOBR Safe, Inc. (“SOBR Safe”), formerly TransBiotec, Inc., was incorporated as Imagine Media LTD. in August 2007 in the State of Delaware. A corporation also named TransBiotec, Inc. (“TransBiotec – CA”) was formed in the state of California July 4, 2004. Effective September 19, 2011, TransBiotec was acquired by TransBiotec - CA in a transaction classified as a reverse acquisition as the shareholders of TransBiotec - CA retained the majority of the outstanding common stock of TransBiotec after the share exchange. The consolidated financial statements represent the activity of TransBiotec - CA from July 4, 2004 forward, and the consolidated activity of SOBR Safe and TransBiotec - CA from September 19, 2011 forward. SOBR Safe and TransBiotec - CA are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Company” or “We”. The Company has developed and plans to market and sell a non-invasive alcohol sensing system which includes an ignition interlock. The Company has not generated any revenues from its operations.

On March 23, 2020, the Company filed a Definitive 14C providing notice that the Board of Directors has recommended, and that holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding stock voted, to approve the following.

	1.	To remove and re-elect four (4) directors to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders and thereafter until their successors are elected and qualified; and

	2.	To approve an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to: (a) change the Company’s name to SOBR SAFE, Inc., (b) decrease the Company’s authorized common stock from 800,000,000 shares, par value $0.00001 to 100,000,000 shares, par value $0.00001, and (c) effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock at a ratio between 1-for-32 and 1-for-35 (with the exact ratio to be determined by the directors in their sole discretion without further approval by the shareholders).

The above actions taken by the Company’s stockholders became effective on or about May 21, 2020. The effective dates of the above actions were June 5, 2020 and April 20, 2020, respectively, and the actual reverse stock split ratio was 1-for-33.26. All share and per share amounts have been adjusted in these consolidated financial statements to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as promulgated in the United States of America and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021.

In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (including reclassifications and normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiary, TransBiotec-CA. We have eliminated all intercompany transactions and balances between entities consolidated in these unaudited condensed financial statements.

Table of Contents

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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 period. Specifically, such estimates were made by the Company for the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, the intellectual technology, the valuation of the derivative liabilities, beneficial conversion feature expenses, stock-based compensation and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial Instruments

Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 and 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 and 825 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets: quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued interest payable, related party payables, notes payable, convertible debentures, and other liabilities. Pursuant to ASC 820 and 825, the fair value of our derivative liabilities is determined based on “Level 3” inputs. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Derivative liability

Table of Contents

Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. The Company does not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Prepaid Expenses

Amounts incurred in advance of contractual performance or coverage periods are recorded as prepaid assets and recognized as expense in the period service or coverage is provided.

Beneficial Conversion Features

From time to time, the Company may issue convertible notes that may contain a beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of the warrants, if related warrants have been granted. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid-in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method.

Derivative Instruments

The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instruments are initially recorded at their fair values and are then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations under other income (expense). The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the embedded conversion option at its fair value as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. As a result of entering into warrant agreements, for which such instruments contained a variable conversion feature with no floor, the Company has adopted a sequencing policy in accordance with ASC 815-40-35-12 whereby all future instruments may be classified as a derivative liability with the exception of instruments related to share-based compensation issued to employees or directors. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a Monte Carlo Simulation model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Table of Contents

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method. The unamortized amount is presented as a reduction of debt on the balance sheet.

Preferred Stock

We apply the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” when determining the classification and measurement of preferred stock. Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. We classify conditionally redeemable preferred shares (if any), which includes preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control, as temporary equity. At all other times, we classified our preferred shares in stockholders’ equity.

Minority Interest (Noncontrolling Interest)

A subsidiary of the Company has minority members representing ownership interests of 1.38% at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company accounts for these minority, or noncontrolling interests, pursuant to ASC 810-10-65 whereby gains and losses in a subsidiary with a noncontrolling interest are allocated to the noncontrolling interest based on the ownership percentage of the noncontrolling interest, even if that allocation results in a deficit noncontrolling interest balance.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company follows the guidance of the accounting provisions of ASC 718 “Share-based Compensation”, which requires the use of the fair-value based method to determine compensation for all arrangements under which employees and others receive shares of stock or equity instruments (warrants and options). The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model that uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. The Company has not paid common stock dividends historically and does not expect to pay them in the future. Expected volatilities are based on weighted averages of the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock estimated over the expected term of the options. The expected term of options granted is derived using the “simplified method” which computes expected term as the average of the sum of the vesting term plus the contract term as historically the Company had limited activity surrounding its options. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the period of the expected term.

Research and Development

The Company accounts for its research and development costs pursuant to ASC 730, whereby it requires the Company to disclose the amounts of costs for company and customer-sponsored research and development activities, if material. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred research and development costs as it acquired new knowledge to bring about significant improvements in the functionality and design of its SOBR product. Research and development costs were $1,026,679 and $309,403 during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Advertising and Marketing Costs

Advertising and marketing costs are charged to operations as incurred. Advertising and marketing costs were $70,692 and $70,198 during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Depreciation

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the assets estimated useful lives of three years. There was no depreciation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Depreciation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $3,978 and $5,083, respectively .

Income Tax

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740. Under ASC 740 deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company has not recorded any deferred tax assets or liabilities at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 as these have been offset by a 100% valuation allowance.

Table of Contents

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share gives the effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period, including stock options, warrants and convertible instruments. Diluted net loss per share excludes all potentially issuable shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Because the effect of the Company’s dilutive securities is anti-dilutive, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods presented.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Certain financial instruments potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Cash held in operating accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000. While the Company monitors cash balances in our operating accounts on a regular basis and adjust the balances as appropriate, these balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to our cash; however, the Company can provide no assurances that access to our cash will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $1,934,969 and none, respectively in excess of the FDIC insured limits.

Related Parties

Related parties are any entities or individuals that, through employment, ownership, or other means, possess the ability to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Company.

New Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within ASC 740, Income Taxes, and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Most amendments within the standard are required to be applied on a prospective basis, while certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The Company is evaluating the effects, if any, of the adoption of ASU 2019-12 guidance on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying generally accepted accounting principles for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This amendment is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the effects, if any, of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 guidance on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-08, Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, amendments the guidance in ASU No. 2017-08, (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities, which addresses multiple call dates of a callable debt security. This amendment is effective for public business entities, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is not permitted. The Company evaluated the adoption of ASU 2020-08 guidance and determined no effects on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Table of Contents

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtpoic 815-40), which addresses issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. This amendment is effective for all entities, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effects, if any, of the adoption of ASU 2021-04 guidance on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Correction of Error

While preparing financial statements for periods in 2021, the Company discovered an error in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. The error related to the presentation of the loss on disposal of property and equipment and asset impairment adjustment in accordance with ASC 360-10-45.

Loss on disposal of property and equipment and asset impairment adjustment of $39,434 and $25,320,555, respectively, were presented as other income/expense-net, instead of as operating expenses. As a result, loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, was understated by $25,359,989 and other income/expenses-net was overstated by the same amount. The errors had no affect on the net loss or net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2020.

As a result of this correction, the statement of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 in the accompanying financial statements has been retroactively restated.

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN

The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and has limited cash liquidity and capital resources. Future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the Company’s ability to develop products, cash flow from operations, and competing market developments. The Company will need additional capital in the near future. Sources of debt financing may result in high interest expense. Any financing, if available, may be on unfavorable terms. If adequate funds are not obtained, we will be required to reduce or curtail operations.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $54,200,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company also experienced negative cash flows from operating activities of approximately $2,300,000. It appears these principal conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, indicate it is probable that the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. As such, there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has identified factors that mitigate the probable conditions that have raised substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. On January 15, 2021, the Company initiated a Private Offering (the “Offering”) of up to 40 Units ($2,000,000) with each Unit consisting of one $50,000 principal amount secured convertible debenture, convertible at $3 per share, and a Warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $3 per share. The Secured Debentures carry interest at 12% and mature 24 months after issuance. The Warrants are exercisable six months after issuance and expire 24 months after issuance . The Offering closed on May 31, 2021 and raised $2,005,000, see Note 8. On September 28, 2021 the Company closed the sale of a convertible debenture and issued warrants that raised $2,225,000 of net proceeds after debt issuance costs. The debenture is for a face amount $3,048,781 with an OID of 18% and due March 27, 2022, if not converted, see Note 7.

We will need additional funds beyond the money raised in this Offering. As a result, we are planning on additional financings in the future.

Table of Contents

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2021. However, if the pandemic continues, it may have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity in fiscal year 2021.

Management believes actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern; however, these plans are contingent upon actions to be performed by the Company and these conditions have not been met on or before September 30, 2021. Additionally, the COVID-19 outbreak could have a continued material adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown, which would impair the Company’s ability to raise needed funds to continue as a going concern. As such, substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern was not alleviated as of September 30, 2021.

NOTE 3. ASSET PURCHASE

On June 5, 2020, the Company completed a transaction (the “Transaction”) with IDTEC subject to the terms and conditions of the APA and that was accounted for as an asset purchase. Pursuant to the APA, IDTEC provided personnel, experience, and access to funding to assist with the development of the SOBR device, as well as sold to us certain robotics assets, which our management believes are synergistic with our current assets, in exchange for 12,000,000 shares of our common stock after giving effect to the reverse stock split effected in connection with closing the Transaction.

As a result of closing the Transaction, the Company issued a convertible promissory note for all the funds spent or advanced by IDTEC prior to closing. This note totaled $1,485,189(the “APA Note”), with simple interest at 10% per annum, due upon demand, and may be convertible into shares of common stock at $0.50 per share (after giving effect to the reverse stock split and subject to anti-dilution protection against any future securities we may issue at an effective price of less than $0.50 per share) at the discretion of the holder. The repayment of APA Note is secured by a first priority security lien or security interest in the patents, trademarks, tradenames, and other intellectual property of the Company.

At closing, some of the closing conditions under the APA were either waived and/or modified by the parties. In order to document those modifications and waivers, we entered into a Waiver Under Asset Purchase Agreement and Post-Closing Covenant Agreement with IDTEC. One of the closing conditions that was the subject of the Waiver Under Asset Purchase Agreement and Post-Closing Covenant Agreement was the requirement that the Company have under $125,000 in permitted liabilities (not including aged liabilities) after closing of the Transaction. At closing we had approximately $158,000 in non-permitted liabilities under the APA. As a result, the Company issued a Warrant to Purchase Common Stock to IDTEC (the “Warrant”), under which IDTEC will purchase up to 320,000 shares of our common stock (post-split) at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, if either (i) we are forced to pay a non-permitted liability, then we may force IDTEC to exercise the Warrant and pay the exercise price to pay the non-permitted liability, but only in an amount sufficient to pay the non-permitted liability, or (ii) if IDTEC otherwise elects to exercise the Warrant and acquire some or all of the shares underlying the Warrant. The Warrant expires five years after the date of issuance.

The Transaction recorded as an asset purchase was valued at $29,222,955, which consists of the market price as of June 5, 2020 of the Company’s 12,000,000 shares of common stock issued totaling $27,120,000, the funds spent by IDTEC and affiliates prior to closing of $1,407,051 and the fair value of the Warrant issued of $695,454. In determining the fair value of the intangible assets, the Company considered, among other factors, the best use of acquired assets such as the analysis of historical financial performance of the products and estimates of future performance of the products and intellectual properties acquired. The allocation to identifiable intangible assets required extensive use of financial information and management's best estimate of fair value.

Table of Contents

The following summarizes the transaction closing with IDTEC on June 5, 2020:

Property and equipment	$	47,725
Intangible assets		29,175,230
Total assets	$	29,222,955

Net purchase (fair value of stock issued, warrants and notes payable)	$	29,222,955

Subsequent to the Transaction closing, the Company evaluated the fair value of theassets acquired based on market estimates for property and equipment and discounted net cash flow for the SOBR Safe intellectual technology. The present value of the discounted cash flow utilized a 75% discount, which included a 25% risk return premium, over an estimated five-year net revenue stream expected to be derived from the technology acquired. Based on the assessment of fair value, the Company recognized an asset impairment loss of $25,320,555 resulting from the APA during the year ended December 31, 2020. The impairment was due to the increase of the Company's stock price value. The stock price of the Company at closing of the Transaction was significantly higher than expected from the stock price of the Company when the Company signed the APA. The number of shares to be given to IDTEC as consideration for the Transaction would not get updated for any stock price changes.

NOTE 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On July 1, 2015, the Company amended a December 3, 2014, note payable agreement with Lanphere Law Group, a related party and shareholder, which forgave $108,000 of a note payable’s principal balance. This debt forgiveness decreased the original principal balance on the note of $214,334 to a new principal balance of $106,335, and a related party gain of $108,000 was recorded to additional paid-in capital. This amendment also extended the note payable’s due date toDecember 2, 2015. The note was converted to common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

On March 8, 2017, Lanphere Law Group irrevocably elected to exercise warrants in order to acquire 969,601 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for an aggregate exercise price of $112,871, which was used for the deduction of $74,672 of principal and $38,199 of accrued interest related to the December 3, 2014, note payable agreement with Lanphere Law Group. The forgiveness of the note payable principal of $74,672 was recorded to equity and the $38,199 of related accrued interest was also recorded to equity. The principal balance of the note after the debt deduction was $31,662. On January 3, 2020, the note payable principal balance of $31,662 was converted to 9,520 common shares at a per share price of $3.326.

On January 3, 2020, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion and Common Stock Purchase Plan with Michael Lanphere, a beneficial owner of the Company, under which he agreed to exercise warrants and the Company agreed to issue 454,097 shares of its common stock in exchange for a reduction in the amounts owed to Mr. Lanphere under two promissory notes. Mr. Lanphere’s option to acquire the shares was under the terms of certain Loan Agreement with Promissory Note and Stock Fees agreements entered into with the Company and Mr. Lanphere on April 17, 2019 and July 17, 2019. The amount of the debt reduction, and therefore the purchase price of the shares, was approximately $66,000 which was used for the deduction of related party notes payable principal of approximately $66,000. 180,397 common shares were issued on January 3, 2020, at an effective conversion price of $0.133 and 273,700 common shares were issued on January 3, 2020 at an effective conversion price of $0.153. After this exercise, Lanphere Law Group owns no warrants for shares of our common stock.

The Debenture is convertible voluntarily by the Purchaser at any time into shares of our common stock, at the lesser of $2.50, representing 100% of the closing price of our common stock on the trading day immediately prior to the Closing Date, or 75% of the average VWAP of our common stock during the 5 trading day period immediately prior to the conversion date (the “Conversion Price”), or automatically upon the occurrence of a single public offering of our common stock which results in the listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange as defined in the Exchange Act (the “Qualified Offering”) into shares of our common stock at the lesser of the Conversion Price, or 75% of the offering price of the securities offered in the Qualified Offering.

NOTE 9. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

In September 2021, the Company completed a financing transition and received $2,500,000 from the Purchaser and in exchange issued an 18% Original Issue Discount Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $3,048,781. The debenture includes voluntary and automatic conversion features at a variable conversion prices convertible into the Company’s common shares at an undetermined future date. The Company analyzed the conversion features of the debenture agreement for derivative accounting consideration under ASU 2017-11 (ASC 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging), and determined the embedded conversion features should be classified as a derivative because the exercise price of the convertible note is subject to a variable conversion rate and should therefore be accounted for at fair value under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and ASC 825, Financial Instruments. In accordance with ASC 815-15, the Company bifurcated the conversion feature of the debenture and recorded a derivative liability.

The embedded derivative for the debenture is carried on the Company’s balance sheet at fair value. The derivative liability is marked to market each measurement period and any unrealized change in fair value is recorded as a component of the consolidated statement of operations and the associated fair value carrying amount on the balance sheet was adjusted by the change. The Company fair valued the embedded derivative using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 120%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 0.05%, and (3) expected life from 4 to 6 months. On September 28, 2021, the Closing Date of the transaction, the fair value of the embedded derivative was $980,000 and is amortized to interest expense over the term of the Debenture. Utilizing level 3 inputs, the Company did not record a fair market value gain or loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The holders of each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid, out of the Available Funds and Assets, and prior and in preference to any payment or Distribution (or any setting part of any payment or Distribution) of any Available Funds and Assets on any shares of common stock, and equal in preference to any payment or Distribution (or any setting part of any payment or Distribution) of any Available Funds and Assets on any shares of any other series of preferred stock that have liquidation preference, an amount per share equal to the Original Issue Price of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock plus all declared but unpaid dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. A reorganization, or any other consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation, or any other sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, shall not be deemed a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company. Shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible at a 35% discount rate to the average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock (either as listed on a national exchange or as quoted over-the-market) for the last 15 trading days immediately prior to conversion. However, no conversions of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to shares of common stock can occur unless the average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock (either as listed on a national exchange or as quoted over-the-market) for the last 15 trading days immediately prior to conversion is at least $1.67. The shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock vote on a one for one basis. The right of conversion is limited by the fact the holder of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may not convert if such conversion would cause the holder to beneficially own more than 4.9% of the Company’s common stock after giving effect to such conversion.

On December 9, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors created a class of preferred stock designated as 8% Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock comprising of 2,000,000 shares. During 2020, the authorized shares were increased to 2,700,000 shares. The rights and preferences of the 8% Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock are as follows: (a) dividend rights of 8% per annum based on the original issuance price of $1 per share, (b) liquidation preference over the Company’s common stock, (c) conversion rights into shares of the Company’s common stock at $1 per share (not to be affected by any reverse stock split in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement with IDTEC), (d) redemption rights such that we have the right, upon 30 days written notice, at any time after one year from the date of issuance, to redeem all or part of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock for 150% of the original issuance price, (e) no call rights by the Company, and (f) each share of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock will vote on an “as converted” basis.

On December 12, 2019, the Company entered into a Series A-1 Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with SOBR SAFE, LLC (“SOBR SAFE”), a Delaware limited liability company and an entity controlled by a beneficial owner of the Company, under which SOBR SAFE agreed to acquire 1,000,000 shares of our Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for $1,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Company received the Purchase Price on December 12, 2019.

On May 7, 2020, the Company amended a Convertible Preferred Stock Investment Agreement granting the exclusive right to SOBR SAFE to purchase up to 2,700,000 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock.

On July 2, 2020, the Company executed Amendment No. 2 to the Stock Investment Agreement which provides that the full amount of each dividend due on a dividend payment date, even if not declared, shall be paid to any holder regardless of the date on which the holder acquired the stock.

The Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock earns cumulative dividends at a rate of 8% per annum, payable in cash or common stock at the option of the Company on June 30 and December 31 of each year. If paid in common stock, the common stock will be valued at the average of the closing price for the five business days prior to the dividend payment date. The preferred shareholders will participate in any common stock dividends on an as converted basis. Although no dividends were declared as of September 30, 2020, the Company has accrued dividends payable of $161,880 related to the 8% Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock as of September 30, 2020. On December 7, 2020, we sent a Notice of Automatic Conversion and Calculation of Dividend Shares to SOBR SAFE notifying them that under the terms governing the shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock the 2,700,000 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock owned by SOBR SAFE automatically converted into 2,700,000 shares of our common stock. In addition, as a result of the conversion of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock we owed SOBR SAFE accrued dividends totaling $107,880, which we could pay in cash or in shares of our common stock based on the price of common stock on the applicable dividend dates. Our management and Board of Directors elected to pay SOBR SAFE the accrued dividends in shares of our common stock.

Reverse Stock Split

Overview

We intend to create substance-free environments by integrating and commercializing critical substance detection technologies. These technologies will be integrated within our robust and scalable data platform producing statistical analytics and predictive user data. Our mission is to save lives, accelerate intervention, increase productivity, create significant economic benefit and positively impact behavior. To that end, we developed the scalable, patented SOBRSafe™ software platform for non-invasive alcohol detection and identity verification, a solution that has anticipated applications in school buses, commercial vehicle fleets and facility access control, as well as addiction treatment and managed care.

Currently, our plan is to deploy our SOBRSafe™ technology in two initial devices: the SOBRtab™ wearable band and the SOBRCheck™ system. SOBRtab™ is a transdermal, alcohol-detecting wearable band containing our SOBRSafe™ technology for ongoing, real-time alcohol monitoring, with predictive heart rate monitoring. SOBRCheck™ is our centralized access control product. When installed in manufacturing facilities, warehouses and more, SOBRCheck™ enables a rapid, hygienic finger scan, with real-time results delivered securely to the employer for any necessary corrective action. The SOBRSafe™ technology can also be deployed across numerous additional devices for various uses. Currently, additional devices for our SOBRSafe™ alcohol detection technology we are exploring include possible integrations with existing law enforcement technologies to enhance public safety. In addition, we are proactively evaluating other emerging detection technologies for alcohol, cannabis, opioids, human health and more.

Statistical analytics and predictive user data is another potential valuable asset. We believe our device portfolio approach could yield this highly valuable information asset. The opportunity to collect millions of data points over time could enable the development of predictive analytics for perpetual safety improvement (and associated cost savings capture). And by demonstrating substance-free environments, employers could deliver a data-driven argument for lowering insurance premiums and we could potentially partner with insurance providers to mandate use of the SOBRSafe™ devices and/or technology.

In addition to focusing on the development, marketing and commercialization of the SOBRCheck™ and SOBRtab™ devices, we are also constantly reviewing synergistic technologies and businesses for potential partnerships, including licensing of the SOBRSafe™ technology.

On June 5, 2020, we closed the transaction (the “Transaction”) that was the subject of that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated May 6, 2019 (and Amendment No. 1 dated March 9, 2020, together the “APA”) with IDTEC, LLC (“IDTEC”), under which IDTEC agreed to provide personnel, experience, and access to funding to assist with the development of our SOBR device, as well as to sell to us certain robotics assets, which our management believes are synergistic with our current assets, in exchange for 12,000,000 shares of our common stock after giving effect to the reverse stock split effected in connection with closing the transaction. The closing of the Transaction was subject to several conditions precedent, primarily: (i) we had to be current in our reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) we had to complete a reverse stock split of our common stock such that approximately 8,000,000 shares were outstanding immediately prior to closing the transaction, (iii) we could only have outstanding convertible instruments as set forth in the APA, (iv) our authorized common stock had to be reduced to 100,000,000 shares, and (v) we could not have more than approximately $125,000 in current liabilities. Effective with the closing of the transaction all of the closing conditions had been met, modified or waived by IDTEC, and we issued the 12,000,000 shares to IDTEC in exchange for IDTEC providing access to personnel, experience, funding to assist with the development of our SOBR device, as well as the robotics assets. The description of the APA set forth in this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of that document and the amendment, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.12, respectively.

In advance of closing the Transaction, IDTEC and a few other affiliated parties (i) loaned funds directly to us, (ii) spent funds for the general costs related to the transaction, and/or (iii) spent funds to further develop and enhance the current SOBR product. As a result of closing the transaction, all the funds spent by IDTEC for any reason related to the transaction were turned into a convertible promissory note. The note totaled approximately $1,500,000 at closing, carry a simple interest rate of 10% per annum, are due upon demand, and may be convertible into shares of our common stock at $0.50 per share (after giving effect to the reverse stock split and subject to anti-dilution protection against any future securities we may issue at an effective price of less than $0.50 per share) at the discretion of the holder. The promissory note is due on demand of the holder. The repayment of this promissory note is secured by a first priority security lien or security interest in our patents, trademarks, tradenames and other intellectual property described in Exhibit A of the promissory note. The convertible promissory notes we issued are in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10.13.

As noted above, in connection with the closing of the Transaction, both companies had certain closing conditions under the APA that had to be met. At closing, some of the closing conditions under the APA were either waived and/or modified by the parties. In order to document those modifications and waivers, we entered into a Waiver Under Asset Purchase Agreement and Post-Closing Covenant Agreement with IDTEC. The description of the Waiver Under Asset Purchase Agreement and Post-Closing Covenant Agreement set forth in this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of that document, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.14.

One of the closing conditions that was the subject of the Waiver Under Asset Purchase Agreement and Post-Closing Covenant Agreement was the requirement that we have under $125,000 in permitted liabilities (not including aged liabilities) after closing of the Transaction. At closing we had approximately $158,000 in non-permitted liabilities under the APA. As a result, we issued a Warrant to Purchase Common Stock to IDTEC (the “Warrant”), under which IDTEC will purchase up to 320,000 shares of our common stock (post-split) at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, if either (i) we are forced to pay a non-permitted liability, then we may force IDTEC to exercise the Warrant and pay the exercise price to pay the non-permitted liability, but only in an amount sufficient to pay the non-permitted liability (which are listed on Exhibit A of the Warrant), or (ii) if IDTEC otherwise elects to exercise the Warrant and acquire some or all of the shares underlying the Warrant. The Warrant expires five years after the date of issuance. The description of the Warrant set forth in this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of that document, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.15.

Corporate Overview

We were incorporated under the name Imagine Media, Ltd. in August 2007 to publish and distribute Image Magazine, a monthly guide and entertainment source for the Denver, Colorado area. We generated only limited revenue and essentially abandoned the business plan in January 2009. On September 19, 2011, we, Imagine Media, Ltd., a Delaware corporation, acquired approximately 52% of the outstanding shares of TransBiotec, Inc. (the “Company” or “TBT”), a California corporation, from TBT’s directors in exchange for 373,315 shares of our common stock.

On January 17, 2012, our Board of Directors amended our Certificate of Incorporation changing our name from Imagine Media, Ltd. to TransBiotec, Inc.

On January 31, 2012, we acquired approximately 45% of the remaining outstanding shares of TBT in exchange for 329,936 shares of our common stock.

With the acquisitions in September 2011 and January 2012 of TBT common stock, we own approximately 99% of the outstanding shares of TBT.

As a result of the acquisitions, TBT’s business is our business, and, unless otherwise indicated, any references to “we” or “us” include the business and operations of TBT.

On March 9, 2020, in connection with our transaction with IDTEC, LLC (as detailed herein) our Board of Directors approved the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation on March 9, 2020 and stockholders holding 52.24% of our then outstanding voting stock approved the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation. The Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation was for the purpose of, among other things, (i) changing our name from “TransBiotec, Inc.” to “SOBR Safe, Inc.”, (ii) effecting a 1-for-33.26 reverse stock split of our common stock, and (iii) decreasing our authorized common stock from 800,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares, and became effective with the State of Delaware on April 24, 2020.

As a result of the reverse stock split effected by our Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, every 33.26 shares of our outstanding common stock prior to the effect of that amendment were combined and reclassified into one share of our common stock, and the number of outstanding shares of our common stock at the time was reduced from 266,097,657 (pre-split) to approximately 8,000,000 (post-split). No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split, and any of our stockholders that would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the reverse stock split will instead receive one additional share of our common stock in lieu of the fractional share. The reverse stock split will not in itself affect any stockholder’s ownership percentage of our common stock, except to the extent that any fractional share is rounded up to the nearest whole share.

At the open of trading on June 8, 2020, our new name and reverse stock split went effective with OTC Markets, and we began trading on the “OTC Pink Current Information” tier of OTC Markets on a post reverse stock split basis. Our ticker symbol for the quotation of our common stock is now “SOBR”. On November 16, 2020, we began trading on the “OTCQB” tier of OTC Markets.

Our corporate offices are located at 885 Arapahoe Avenue, Boulder, CO 80302, telephone number (844) 762-7723.

Operating Loss; Net Loss

Our net loss increased by $1,283,816 from $737,600 to $2,021,416, from the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2021. Our operating loss increased by $967,133, from $695,978 to $1,663,111 for the same periods. The change in our net loss and operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the prior year period, is primarily a result of increases in our general and administrative expense, stock-based compensation expense, and research and development expense. The changes are detailed below.

Revenue

We have not had any revenues since our inception. Since September 2011, we have been involved in the development of our patented SOBR® Safe™ system, including, but not limited to, the developing, testing and marketing of SOBR®Check™, our unique alcohol sensor technology. Although we have not had any sales to date, we are planning to be ready to commercialize the SOBR®Check™ device in the fourth quarter of 2021 or first quarter of 2022.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $124,740, from $191,589 for the three month period ended September 30, 2020 to $316,329 for the three month period ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to increases in facilities rents, marketing and promotion, accounting and other professional fees.

Table of Contents

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

We had stock-based compensation expense of $147,163 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The stock-based compensation expense in 2021 was related to the issuance of our common stock as compensation to certain consultants and employees.

Management Salaries and Consulting Fees

Management salaries and consulting fees increased by $280,698, to $632,964 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $352,266 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The management salaries and consulting fees in both years were related to salaries, fees and incentive based stock options to our management and consultants.

Research and Development

Research and development increased by $403,532, to $555,655 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $152,123 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in research and development was due to the ramp up of expenses to develop our SOBR® Safe™ system, including, but not limited to, the developing and testing of SOBRCheck, our unique alcohol sensor technology, as we prepare to commercialize the device in the near future.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $185,853, from $41,622 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 to $227,475 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021. For both periods these amounts are largely due to the interest on outstanding debt. The increase between the two periods is largely related to the fact that we had significantly more outstanding debt during the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.

Amortization of Interest – Conversion Features

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had amortization of interest – conversion features expense of $130,830 compared to $0 during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The expenses for the period in 2021 was related to the amortized discount on convertible notes payable.

The asset impairment adjustment classified as an operating expense herein was previously reported as other expense, net. As a result, the operating loss previously reported for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 was understated by $25,320,555 and total other expenses, net was overstated by the same amount. The error had no effect on the net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020.

Operating Loss; Net Loss

Our net loss decreased by $24,332,070 from $28,898,637 to $4,566,567, from the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021. Our operating loss decreased by $23,230,402, from $27,175,215 to $3,944,813 for the same periods. The change in our net loss and operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the prior year period, is primarily a result of an asset impairment expense related to the assets we acquired from IDTEC during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, partially offset by increases in general and administrative expenses, stock-based compensation expense, management salaries and consulting fees, and research in development, all of which are primarily related to our increased operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to September 30, 2020. The changes are detailed below.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $475,251, from $400,127 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 to $875,378 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to increases in facilities rents, marketing and promotion, accounting and other professional fees.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

We had stock-based compensation expense of $334,228 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $41,302 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The stock-based compensation expense for both periods was related to the issuance of our common stock as compensation to certain consultants and employees.

Management Salaries and Consulting Fees

Management salaries and consulting fees increased by $578,729, to $1,682,557 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $1,103,828 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The management salaries and consulting fees in both years were related to salaries, fees, and incentive based stock options to our management and consultants.

Research and development increased by $743,247, to $1,052,650 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $309,403 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in research and development was due to the ramp up of expenses to develop our SOBR® Safe™ system, including, but not limited to, the developing and testing of SOBRCheck, our unique alcohol sensor technology, as we prepare to commercialize the device in the near future.

Asset Impairment Adjustment

We had an asset impairment adjustment of $25,320,555 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. We did not have an asset impairment adjustment in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The asset impairment adjustment in 2020 was related to the value of the stock we issued to IDTEC that was attributed to the robotic assets we acquired from IDTEC versus the value of the assets. When we negotiated the transaction with IDTEC in early-to-mid-2019, the agreed to issue IDTEC 12,000,000 shares of our common stock (post-split) in exchange for the consideration they were transferring to us at the close of the transaction. At the time we negotiated the transaction and signed the Asset Purchase Agreement, our common stock was trading at a lower price than what it was trading at when we closed the transaction and issued the shares. As a result, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we impaired the value of the robotic assets we received in the transaction.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt, Net

Loss on extinguishment of debt, net was $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $269,144 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease was due to us converting several notes payable into shares of our common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, but none during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Gain on Fair Value Adjustment – Derivatives

Gain on fair value adjustment – derivatives was $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $60,650 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. For the period in 2020 the amount is related to us having an outstanding financial instrument that contained an embedded derivative liability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources for Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

Introduction

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, because of our operating losses, we did not generate positive operating cash flows. Our cash on hand as of September 30, 2021 is $2,185,233 and our monthly operating cash flow burn rate is approximately $200,000. As a result, we do not have short term cash needs, but need to raise additional funds to finance our long term business plans. Our cash needs are being satisfied through proceeds from the sales of our securities and loans from both related parties and third parties. We currently do not believe we will be able to satisfy our cash needs from our revenues for some time, and there is no guarantee we will be successful in the future satisfying these needs through the proceeds generated from the sales of our securities.

Our cash, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, and total liabilities as of September 30, 2021 and as of December 31, 2020, respectively, are as follows:

	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020		Change

Cash	$	2,185,233	$	232,842	$	1,952,391
Total Current Assets	$	2,210,132	$	348,072	$	1,862,060
Total Assets	$	5,566,681	$	3,986,573	$	1,580,108
Total Current Liabilities	$	2,998,714	$	922,089	$	2,076,625
Total Liabilities	$	3,457,289	$	947,089	$	2,510,200

Our current assets and total assets increased as of September 30, 2021, as compared to December 31, 2020, primarily due to us having more cash on hand at September 30, 2021, as a result of debt issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Our current liabilities increased as of September 30, 2021, as compared to December 31, 2020. This increase was primarily due to increases in accounts payable, accrued interest payable, derivative liability and convertible debenture payable, partially offset by decreases in accrued expenses, and common stock subscriptions payable.

In order to repay our obligations in full or in part when due, we will be required to raise significant capital from other sources. There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in these efforts.

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this filing. Management is actively monitoring the global situation on our financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, we are not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on our results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2021. However, if the pandemic continues, it could have an adverse effect on our results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity in year 2021.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

ITEM 4 Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure and Controls Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure and control procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As of September 30, 2021, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer (our Principal Executive Officer) and chief financial officer (our Principal Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives. Additionally, in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures, management is required to apply its reasonable judgment. We also do not have an audit committee. Based on the evaluation described above, and as a result, in part, of not having an audit committee and having one individual serve as our chief executive officer and another individual serve as our chief financial officer, management has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to the same extent as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

As funds become available to us, we expect to implement additional measures to improve disclosure controls and procedures.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

(c) Officer’s Certifications

Appearing as an exhibit to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are “Certifications” of our Chief Executive and Financial Officer. The Certifications are required pursuant to Sections 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Section 302 Certifications”). This section of the quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains information concerning the Controls Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications. This information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 Legal Proceedings

On December 6, 2006, Orange County Valet and Security Patrol, Inc. filed a lawsuit against us in Orange County California State Superior Court for Breach of Contract in the amount of $11,164. A default judgment was taken against us in this matter. In mid-2013 we learned the Plaintiff’s perfected the judgment against us, but we have not heard from the Plaintiffs as of November 2021. In the event we pay any money related to this lawsuit, IDTEC, LLC agreed, in connection with us closing the asset purchase transaction with IDTEC, to pay the amount for us in exchange for shares of our common stock.

We had one outstanding judgment against us involving a past employee of the Company. The matter was under the purview of the State of California, Franchise Tax Board, Industrial Health and Safety Collections. We owed approximately $28,786 plus accrued interest of approximately $53,000 to our ex-employee for unpaid wages under these Orders. On March 8, 2021, we received an Acknowledgement of Satisfaction of Judgement-Full by the California Court notifying us that the judgement has been settled with a payment of approximately $85,000 including the accrued interest owed through settlement date and legal fees of approximately $3,000. IDTEC, LLC agreed, in connection with us closing the asset purchase transaction with IDTEC, to pay the amount for us in exchange for shares of our common stock acquired through the exercise of a warrant held by IDTEC, LLC.

In the ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations. However, in the opinion of our management, other than as set forth herein, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 1A Risk Factors

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

ITEM 2 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the three months ended September 30, 2021 we issued the following unregistered securities:
