Forward-Looking Statement Disclaimer

 

This Quarterly Report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions, and information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operation and events set forth under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our outlook, guidance, expectations, beliefs, hopes, intentions and strategies, in which words such as “may,” “if,” “will,” “should,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “consider,” or similar expressions are used to identify these forward looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance and achievements to be materially different. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

 

Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Future actual results, performance, achievements, events and stockholder values may differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. The risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from the results predicted or implied by forward-looking statements include factors discussed in our filings with the SEC, including those disclosed under captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2024 Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (including this Quarterly Report).

 

REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

 

At the open of market on April 4, 2025, our 1-for-10 reverse split of our common stock went effective with Nasdaq Capital Markets (“Nasdaq”). As a result, all common stock share amounts, as well as share amounts and exercise and conversion prices have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

SOBR SAFE, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2025

 

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

SOBR Safe, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) is a cloud-based software platform and device producer headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado. Our Company integrates proprietary software, SOBRsafeTM, with our patent pending touch-based alcohol detection products, SOBRcheckTM and SOBRsureTM, enabling non-invasive alcohol monitoring and detection, biometric identity verification, and qualified, real-time cloud-based alerts and reporting. Currently our principal markets are located in North America.

 

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein 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 and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2025.

 

In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (including reclassifications and normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024. 

 

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiary, TransBiotec-CA (“TBT”), of 98.6%. We have eliminated all intercompany transactions and balances between entities consolidated in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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, intellectual technology, stock-based compensation and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Financial Instruments

The Company is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy is 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. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on reliability of the inputs as follows:

 

Level I: Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to SOBRsafe for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level II: 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 III: 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 receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued interest payable, related party payables, notes payable, and other liabilities. The Company believes that the recorded values of our financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

 

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have financial instruments requiring valuation from observable or unobservable inputs to determine fair value on a recurring basis.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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 at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

 

Accounts Receivable

Customer accounts are monitored for potential credit losses based upon management’s assessment of expected collectability and the allowance for doubtful accounts is reviewed periodically to assess the adequacy of the allowance. In making this assessment, management takes into consideration any circumstances of which the Company is aware regarding a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, and any potential prevailing economic conditions and their impact on the Company’s customers. The Company had $25,000 in allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

 

Inventory

Inventory is comprised of component parts and finished product, and valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of substantially all the Company’s inventory is determined by the FIFO cost method. The Company evaluates the valuation of inventory and periodically adjusts the value for estimated excess based upon estimates of future demand and market conditions, and obsolete inventory based upon otherwise damaged or impaired goods. The Company had no reserves for obsolescence at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

 

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.

 

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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

Preferred Stock

Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. The Company classifies 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, the Company classifies preferred shares in stockholders’ equity.

 

Noncontrolling Interest

A subsidiary of the Company, TBT, has minority members representing ownership interests of 1.4% at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024. The Company accounts for this noncontrolling interest 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.

 

Long-Lived Assets

The Company records intangible assets based on estimated fair value on the date of acquisition. Long-lived assets consist of net property and equipment and intangible assets. The finite-lived intangible assets are intellectual property and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the assets.

 

The Company assesses impairment of long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicates that their carrying value amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: (i) significant decreases in the market price of the asset; (ii) significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal or regulatory factors; (iii) or, expectations that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

 

If the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, from the use of an asset are less than the carrying value, a write-down would be recorded to reduce the related asset to its estimated fair value.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles held for use are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset or if changes in facts and circumstances indicate, an impairment loss is recognized and measured using the asset’s fair value. No impairment loss was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company enters contracts with customers and generates revenue through various combinations of software products and services which include the sale of cloud-based software solutions, monitoring, detection and data collection hardware devices, and cloud-based data reporting and analysis services. Depending on the combination of products and services detailed in the respective customer contract, the identifiable components may be highly interdependent and interrelated with each other such that each is required to provide the substance of the value of the Company’s offering and accounted for as a combined performance obligation, or the specific components may be generally distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized when control of these software products and/or services are transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for respective services and devices.

 

The Company determines revenue recognition through five steps which include: (1) identification of the contract or contracts with a customer; (2) identification of individual or combined performance obligations contained in the contract; (3) determination of the transaction price detailed within the contract; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the specific performance obligations; (5) recognition of revenue as the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied according to the terms of the contract.

 

Contracts with a Single License/Service Performance Obligation

For contracts with a single performance obligation consisting of a license and/or data services, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Where the Company provides a performance obligation as licensed software or data services, revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software or services ratably over the respective term of the contract.

 

Contracts for Purchase of Hardware Devices Only

Where hardware devices are sold separately by the Company, the entire transaction price is allocated to the device as an individual performance obligation and revenue recognized at a point in time when either legal title, physical possession, or the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. Generally, these requirements are satisfied at the point in time the Company ships the product, as this is when the customer obtains control of the asset under SOBR’s standard terms and conditions of the purchase.

 

Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations

Where a Company’s contract with a respective customer contains multiple performance obligations and due to the interdependent and interrelated nature of the licensed software, hardware devices and data reporting services, the Company accounts for the individual performance obligations if they are distinct in nature and the transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation(s) on a directly observable standalone sales price basis. Determining whether products and services are distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately or combined as one unit of accounting may require significant judgment. Standalone selling prices are primarily based upon the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. The Company may be able to establish a standalone sales price based upon observable products or services sold or priced separately in comparable circumstances, competitor pricing or similar customers. Where the performance obligations are either not distinct or directly observable, the Company estimates the standalone sales price of the performance obligations based upon the overall pricing objectives taking into consideration the value of the contract arrangement, number of licenses, number and types of hardware devices and the length of term of the contract. Professional judgement may be required to determine the standalone sales price for each performance obligation where not directly observable. Revenue for contracts with multiple performance obligations is recognized on a ratable basis for each respective performance obligation as allocated under the prescribed Transaction Price identification model applied.

 

The Company requires customers to make payments related to subscribed software licenses and data services on a monthly basis via authorized bank account ACH withdrawal or an automatic credit card charge during the approved term of the respective agreement. The collectability of future cash flows are reasonably assured with any potential non-payment easily identified with future services being discontinued or suspended due to non-payment.

 

The Company’s contracts are generally three to twelve months in duration, billed monthly, and non-cancelable. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. The Company generally has an unconditional right to consideration when customers are invoiced, and a receivable is recorded. A contract asset (unbilled revenue) is recognized when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing, or a contract liability (deferred revenue) when revenue will be recognized subsequent to invoicing.

 

The Company has elected to charge shipping, freight, and delivery costs to customers as a source of revenue to offset respective costs when control has transferred to the customer.

 

The Company reports revenue net of sales and other taxes collected from customers to be remitted to government authorities.

 

Estimated costs for the Company’s standard one-year warranty are charged to cost of goods and services when revenue is recorded for the related product. Royalties are also charged to cost of goods and services.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are considered short-term leases and are not recognized on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet for leases with an expected term greater than twelve months. Operating lease ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset over the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at inception based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When the rate implicit in the lease is not determinable, the Company uses its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The lease expense for fixed lease payments is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments are included in the lease expense when the obligation for those payments is incurred. The Company has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components.

 

Stock-based Compensation

The Company uses the fair-value based method to determine compensation for all arrangements under which employees and others receive shares of stock or equity instruments (warrants, options, and restricted stock units). The fair value of each warrant and option 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 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 awards. 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 awards. 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. The grant date fair value of a restricted stock unit equals the closing price of our common stock on the trading day of the grant date.

 

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurs research and development costs as it acquires new knowledge to bring about significant improvements in the functionality and design of its products and software.

 

Advertising and Marketing Costs

Advertising and marketing costs are charged to operations as incurred. Advertising and marketing costs were $1,154,644 and $156,056 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Advertising and marketing costs were $389,265 and $48,050 during the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

 

Income Tax

Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and 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, 2025, and December 31, 2024, as these have been offset by a 100% valuation allowance.

Loss Per Share

Basic 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, restricted stock units, 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.

 

The following outstanding and potentially issuable shares at September 30, 2025 and 2024, have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted shares outstanding, as they could have been anti-dilutive:

Concentration of Credit Risk

Credit Risk – Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consisted primarily of cash. The Company maintains its cash at two domestic financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of a default by the financial institutions to the extent that cash balances are in excess of the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation of up to $250,000 per institution. The Company places its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions and managed within established guidelines to mitigate risk. To date, the Company has not experienced any loss on its cash.

 

Concentration of Customers – To date, the Company’s sales have been made to a limited number of customers. Should the Company continue to conduct sales to a limited number of customers and remain highly concentrated, revenue may experience significant period-to-period shifts and may decline if the Company were to lose one or more of its customers, or if the Company were unable to obtain new customers.

 

Concentration of Suppliers – The Company relies on a limited number of component and contract suppliers to assemble and distribute its product. If supplier shortages occur, or quality problems arise, production and distribution schedules could be significantly delayed or costs significantly increased, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

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 management and policies of the Company.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards 

The Company has reviewed recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoptions of any such pronouncements will be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of operations.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amended guidance enhances income tax disclosures primarily related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance requires disclosure of specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and further information on reconciling items meeting a quantitative threshold. In addition, the amended guidance requires disaggregating income taxes paid (net of refunds received) by federal, state, and foreign taxes. It also requires disaggregating individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid, net of refunds received, is equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid, net of refunds received. The amended guidance was effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025. The guidance can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively.

 

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. None of these reclassifications had a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN 

 

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

 

As of September 30, 2025, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $104,440,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company experienced negative cash flows from operating activities of approximately $5,331,000. These principal conditions and events, when considered in the aggregate, could 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. However, the Company has identified factors that may mitigate the probable conditions that have raised substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Based on an evaluation of current operating cash usage, management identified several areas in which the Company is capable to reduce spend should it be needed. This includes reductions in operating headcount, discretionary sales & marketing spend, investor relations initiatives, and product/software research and development planning. Ongoing activities to identify and reduce monthly expenses by management will continue in perpetuity until such time financial liquidity and substantial cash flow from sales are realized.

 

Management believes that cash balances of approximately $4,712,000 and positive working capital of approximately $3,996,000 at September 30, 2025, do not provide adequate capital for operating activities for the next twelve months after the date these financial statements are issued. However, management believes the release of its second generation SOBRsureTM device in the fourth quarter of 2024 and a comprehensive 2025 marketing plan have positioned the Company to generate improvement in the generation of both revenue and positive cash flows from sales. In addition, the Company’s plans and ability to access capital sources and implement expense-reduction tactics to preserve working capital provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern as of September 30, 2025. These plans are contingent upon the actions to be performed by the Company, and these conditions have not been met on or before November 12, 2025. As such, substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern has not been alleviated as of September 30, 2025.

NOTE 5. LEASES

 

The Company leases its corporate headquarters office space and certain office equipment under arrangements classified as operating leases.

 

The Company entered into its lease agreement to rent office space for a twelve-month period beginning July 1, 2022, with a monthly base rent of $9,744. The lease did not contain renewal options and was considered a short-term lease at inception. In April 2023, the Company executed an amendment to extend the term of the lease from July 1, 2023, through September 30, 2026. The amended lease provides for monthly base rent of $9,744 through September 2024, with fixed escalating monthly base rent for each year thereafter, and no rent due for the months of July through September 2023.

 

The Company determined that the amendment results in a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate contract. Further, due to the extension of the lease term beyond the initial twelve months, the office lease can no longer be considered a short-term lease. The Company has recorded a right-of-use asset and lease liability as of April 17, 2023 (the effective date of the amendment) based on the modified terms and conditions of the amended lease.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, total operating lease expense was $152,454, which included $58,936 of variable lease expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, total operating lease expense was $51,923 which included $20,750 of variable lease expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, total operating lease expense was $147,878, of which $61,104 was attributable to variable lease expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, total operating lease expense was $50,123, of which $21,198 was attributable to variable lease expenses.

Convertible Notes Payable with Warrants - 2023 Debt Offering

 

On March 7, 2023, the Company entered into a Debt Offering (the “2023 Debt Offering”) pursuant to a Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) and Registration Rights Agreement with institutional investors (the “Purchasers”). The 2023 Debt Offering closed on March 9, 2023. The 2023 Debt Offering includes 15% Original Issue Discount Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) and Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company received $3,000,001 from the Purchasers and in exchange issued the Notes in principal amounts of $3,529,412 and Warrants to purchase up to 352 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Notes are convertible voluntarily by the Purchaser at any time. The principal amounts are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $2,508. The Notes are due March 10, 2025, and accrue interest quarterly at 5% per annum. The accrued interest is payable by way of inclusion in the convertible amount and is compounded quarterly. The Warrants are exercisable at any time through March 9, 2028, into shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2,772 per share. The Company received approximately $2,500,000 of net proceeds from the 2023 Debt Offering after offering-related costs.

 

On May 10, 2023, noteholders elected to convert a total of $341,998 (the “Conversion Amount”) pertaining to the 2023 Debt Offering into 137 shares of the Company’s common stock at $2,508 per share. As provided for in the Agreement, the Conversion Amount included original Note principal of $309,688, as well as accrued interest of $32,311.

 

On March 4, 2024, the Company entered into inducement offer letter agreements (the “Inducement Letters”) with each holder (collectively, the “Holders”, and individually, a “Holder”) of the Notes issued on March 9, 2023. Pursuant to the Inducement Letters, the Holders agreed to convert some or all of the Applicable Notes at a reduced conversion price equal to $682.00 per share (such reduced conversion price, the “Notes Conversion Price”). Simultaneously with the execution of the Inducement Letters, the Company received conversion notices from such Holders for the conversion of approximately $804,000 aggregate principal amount of the Applicable Notes, representing approximately 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Applicable Notes. In connection with such conversion, the Notes Conversion Price was permanently reduced to $682.00. The Company recognized conversion expense of $585,875 for the induced conversion.

 

In addition, pursuant to the Inducement Letters, the exercise price in the Common Stock Purchase Warrants issued on March 9, 2023 (the “Applicable Warrants”) currently held by Holders was permanently reduced to $682.00 per share (such reduced exercise price, the “Warrants Exercise Price”).

 

In March, May, and June of 2024, noteholders elected to convert an aggregate total of $3,556,234 (the “Conversion Amount”) pertaining to the 2023 Debt Offering into 5,215 shares of the Company’s common stock at $682 per share. As provided for in the Agreement, the Conversion Amount included an original Note principal of $3,219,724, as well as $336,510 of accrued interest incurred in both fiscal 2023 and 2024.

Stock Warrants

 

On March 6, 2024, pursuant to the Adjustment terms of the September 2021 and the March 2022 Armistice Warrants as a result of the Inducement Letters, the Company issued an aggregate 2,418 warrants (the “Armistice Warrants”) consisting of (i) 1,934 warrants pursuant to the Adjustment terms under the September 2021 Armistice Warrant, and (ii) 484 warrants pursuant to the Adjustment terms of the March 2022 Armistice warrant. In addition, the Armistice Warrants include conditions where the warrant exercise price may be adjusted downward in the event securities instruments or exercise prices are subsequently issued or reduced, respectively, below the then current exercise prices of $1,485 per unit of the Armistice Warrants. Where the Inducement Letters stipulate a reduction in the warrant securities exercise prices below the Armistice Warrant exercise price of $1,485 per unit, the conditions of a downward adjustment were met reducing the Armistice Warrants exercise price permanently to $682 per unit. The additional issuance of the Armistice Warrants expire seven years from the date of the original issuance on September 28, 2021, and March 30, 2022, respectively. The difference with respect to the adjusted additional warrants is treated as a deemed dividend and a reduction in net income available to common stockholders of $23,270.

 

On March 6, 2024, pursuant to the Inducement letters, the exercise price for Common Stock Purchase Warrants issued on September 30, 2022, in relation to the 2022 PIPE Offering were permanently reduced to $682 per share. The difference with respect to the adjusted warrant exercise price is treated as a deemed dividend and a reduction in net income available to common stockholders.

 

In June 2024, the Company entered into a Warrant Inducement with a certain holder of its existing warrants to exercise for cash an aggregate of 9,382 shares of the Company’s common stock at a reduced exercise price of $297 per share. The value of the adjusted warrant exercise price of $341,297 was recorded as a reduction to Retained Earnings in conjunction with a deemed dividend of $1,455,805. The exercised warrants included warrants issued in the Amended and Restated common stock Purchase Warrants, with an initial exercise date of September 27, 2021, dated September 2022, the Amended and Restated Common Stock Purchase Warrants, with an initial exercise date of March 30, 2022, dated September 2022, and warrants issued under the Waiver agreement dated March 30, 2022. As part of the Warrant Inducement, the Company agreed to issue new unregistered warrants to purchase up to 18,763 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable upon the Company obtaining stockholder approval for purposes of complying with applicable Nasdaq rules with an exercise price of $297 per share. The warrants will expire five years following the issuance date. The total gross proceeds from the Warrant Inducement were $2,786,174 with net proceeds of $2,425,418 after deducting $360,756 in commissions and transaction costs.

 

Upon the close of the transaction, the Company issued the holder 5,184 of the 9,382 shares of common stock that were issuable upon exercise of the existing warrants. Due to the beneficial ownership limitation provisions in the inducement offer letter agreement, the remaining 4,198 shares were initially unissued, and reserved in abeyance with the Company’s transfer agent for the benefit of the holder until notice from the holder that the shares may be issued in compliance with the agreement. Upon notice from the holder on June 24, 2024, the Company issued 4,198 shares of common stock previously held in abeyance.

 

On June 4, 2024, pursuant to the Warrant Inducement, the exercise price for Common Stock Purchase Warrants issued on September 30, 2022, in relation to the 2022 PIPE Offering were permanently reduced to $297 per share. The difference with respect to the adjusted warrant exercise price is treated as a deemed dividend of $42,539 and a reduction in net income available to common stockholders.

In October 2024, the Company entered into a private investment in public equity offering (the “2024 PIPE Offering”) pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) and Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) where the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 202,470 units (the “Units”) at a purchase price of $40.50 per unit, each Unit consisting of one share of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Company, or one pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof, two Series A Warrants, each to purchase one share of common stock at an initial exercise price of $38 per share, and one Series B Warrant to purchase such number of common stock as will be determined on the Reset Date.

The difference with respect to the adjusted warrant exercise prices is treated as a deemed dividend and a reduction in net income available to common stockholders.

 

On April 11, 2024, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Series A Warrants issued on October 9, 2024 in conjunction with the 2024 PIPE Financing, the Company evaluated the impact of the 1-for-10 reverse split of the Company’s common stock, or Share Combination Event, on the Nasdaq Capital Markets. The terms of the Series A Warrant Agreement stipulate in the event of Share Combination Event, or reverse split, where the resulting closing share price is lower than the then Exercise Price, the Exercise Price will be reduced to the Floor Price determined in the Warrant Agreement of $7.60 per warrant. Following the Share Combination Event, the Exercise Price of the Series A Warrants was reduced to the Floor Price prescribed in the terms of the respective Warrant Agreement at $7.60 per share resulting in an additional 110,273 warrants issued to the remaining warrant holders. Further, should the resulting closing share price be below the Floor Price during a period of five trading days after the Share Combination Event, the calculated difference between the lowest volume-weighted-average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s stock during the five-trading day period and the Floor Price of the then outstanding Series A Warrants outstanding shall be paid pro rata to the remaining holders of the warrants (the “True-up Payment”), not to exceed $1,640,000. The lowest VWAP during the trading period of $4.71 was determined to be below the Floor Price resulting in a True-up Payment due to the remaining holders of $1,640,000. The True-up Payment balance due was paid in full to the remaining holders in July 2025.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company received exercise notices from various institutional investors at a weighted average exercise price of approximately $8.39. In exchange for the issuance of 579,219 shares of common stock, the Company received net proceeds of $3,680,411.

Share-Based Compensation

 

On October 24, 2019, the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) went effective authorizing 1,167 shares of Company common stock for issuance as stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees, directors or consultants. The Plan was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of the Company’s voting stock on September 9, 2019. In January 2022, the stockholders approved and ratified an amendment to increase the shares authorized under the Plan to 1,576. In June 2024, the stockholders approved and ratified an amendment to increase the shares authorized under the Plan to 3,182. On July 17, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved and ratified an amendment to increase the number of shares authorized under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan to 350,000 shares.

 

The Company generally recognizes share-based compensation expense either on the grant date or over the period of vesting or period that services will be provided.

ITEM 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Disclaimer Regarding Forward Looking Statements

 

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements include statements in which words such as “may,” “if,” “will,” “should,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “consider,” or similar expressions are used. Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our access to capital to fund our continuing operations, our ability to sell our products and services and to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Although the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them.  Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements.  You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

At the open of the market on April 4, 2025, our 1-for-10 reverse split of our common stock went effective with Nasdaq Capital Markets (“Nasdaq”). As a result, all common stock share amounts, as well as share amounts and exercise and conversion prices, have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

 

Corporate Overview

 

On September 19, 2011, we, as Imagine Media, Ltd., a Delaware corporation, acquired approximately 52% of the outstanding shares of TransBiotec, Inc. (“TBT”), a California corporation, from TBT’s directors in exchange for 124,439 shares of our common stock. In January 2012, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) amended our Certificate of Incorporation, changing our name from Imagine Media, Ltd. to TransBiotec, Inc., and we acquired approximately 45% of the remaining outstanding shares of TBT in exchange for 109,979 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, our Board approved the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation and stockholders holding 52% of our then outstanding voting stock approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation. The Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation was for the purpose of, among other things, changing our name from “TransBiotec, Inc.” to “SOBR Safe, Inc.” The Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation became effective with the State of Delaware on April 24, 2020.

 

Pursuant to approval of an application with the Nasdaq Capital Market to uplist our common stock to their exchange under the ticker symbol “SOBR,” our common stock began trading and quoted on the Nasdaq on May 16, 2022. Prior to this uplist to the Nasdaq exchange, our common stock was quoted on the “OTCQB” tier of the OTC Markets under the ticker symbol “SOBR.”

 

Our corporate offices are located at 6400 South Fiddlers Green Circle, Suite 1400, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111, telephone number (844) 762-7723.

Business Operations, Outlook and Challenges

 

We provide non-invasive technology to quickly and discreetly monitor, detect and identify the presence of alcohol in individuals. Our mission is to save lives, positively impact behavioral outcomes and individual wellness, increase workplace safety and productivity, and create significant economic benefits. Our non-invasive technologies are integrated within our scalable and patent-pending software platform, SOBRsafeTM, producing statistical, measurable business and user data. We operate as a single segment designed to enable customers to purchase products directly through channel partners, sales agents or through our digital enterprise and consumer channels. To that end, our SOBRsafe software platform, along with our integrated hardware devices, SOBRcheck™ and SOBRsure™, used to provide non-invasive alcohol monitoring, detection and identity verification, combine to create a robust solution that has current and potential applications in:

 

 

Behavioral health and wellness

 

Judicial administrative applications

 

Licensing and integration

 

Commercial environments, including but not limited to oil and gas, fleet management, telematics, ride share programs, and general workplace safety

 

Individual consumer use, including co-parenting trust, personal accountability, and adolescent driver safety

 

Our SOBRcheck device is a patent-pending, touch-based identity verification and alcohol detection solution. Users place two fingers on the device sensors, one compares biometric data points from the finger to confirm identity, while the other senses alcohol contained in perspiration emitted through the pores of the fingertip. The touch-based device connects to the SOBRsafe software solution to collect, present and communicate data collected to subscribed parties.

 

Our SOBRsure device is a patent-pending, fitness-style wearable band with an alcohol monitoring and detection solution intended for discrete, low-profile and voluntary use providing qualified, real-time alcohol monitoring and GPS tracking. The wearable band is a device which includes a contained sensor which senses alcohol contained in perspiration released through the pores of the skin. The wearable band connects to a mobile device via Bluetooth communication where the SOBRsafe mobile application collects and transmits data to the SOBRsafe software solution. The SOBRsure device provides passive, qualified, real-time alcohol insights to administrators, clinicians, parents and more, and also includes device removal and service interruption notifications.

 

Our SOBRsafe technology can also be deployed across numerous additional devices for various uses. We are currently exploring possible integrations with existing systems and licensing by non-competitive third parties.

 

We believe our device portfolio approach could yield a substantial repository of user data – a potentially monetizable asset for statistical analytics. The opportunity to collect data points over time could enable the development of business and insurance liability benchmarking, through artificial intelligence (“AI”), powerful guidance for perpetual safety improvement and associated economic cost savings capture. By demonstrating substance-free environments, organizations could deliver a data-driven argument for a reduction in annual insurance premiums. We could potentially partner with insurance providers to encourage use of the SOBRsafe devices and/or technology.

 

Continuing in fiscal 2025, and as in prior years, the design, manufacturing, quality testing and distribution for all SOBRsafe integrated devices take place in the United States.

 

Our brand, products and software services continue to gain awareness and recognition through a robust marketing platform, trade shows, media exposure, social media and product demonstrations. To generate sales, we have a three-part strategy: 1) direct sales to enterprise businesses and consumers, 2) enter into agreements with channel partners and 3) enter into licensing and integration agreements. We currently employ four highly experienced sales professionals facilitating direct sales and channel partner relationships. Licensing and integration opportunities with third parties continue in preliminary stages.

 

Since inception we have generated significant losses from operations and anticipate that we will continue to generate significant losses for the foreseeable future. Our success is dependent on our ability to access additional capital. Additional capital will be required under the following circumstances: 1) to offset negative cash flows from operations, 2) to accelerate customer acquisition, thereby increasing capital outlay, 3) for advanced purchasing of materials, 4) for the development and acquisition of new technology, 5) for potential acquisition of a key asset, and 6) for sales expansion.

 

Alcohol Use Disorder and Its Effects

 

SOBR Safe is committed to addressing the increasing diagnosis of Alcohol Use Disorder (“AUD”) which is a medical condition characterized by an inability to control or stop the use of alcohol despite the adverse effects and consequences. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (“NIAAA”) approximately 29 million individuals in the United States and 283 million globally suffer from this diagnosis where the problematic use of alcohol can result in both short- and long-term health issues including effects on behavioral wellness and overall physical health. The NIAA also notes AUD increased by 38% during the COVID pandemic creating a surge in diagnoses and untreated cases.

 

In the United States, alcohol consumption and AUD can be linked to more than 200 diseases including 50% of all liver disease and 25% of pancreatitis cases and contributes to 5% of cancer related deaths. Approximately 178,000 alcohol related deaths occurred in the United States during 2022 and continue to increase annually.

 

Further attributing to the ongoing and ever-increasing AUD epidemic, less than 10% of those affected have available or receive treatment leaving approximately 26 million in the United States without traditional medical treatment options. The demographics of the 26 million untreated individuals cover a wide range including 17 million men and 12 million women with 1.5 million under the age of 21. Those who are not able to receive medications or clinical behavioral treatments must work to find alternative solutions to address and recover from AUD such as the SOBR Safe monitoring and detection solutions. We continue ongoing efforts to identify the wide-ranging demographics of the AUD epidemic in an effort to provide solutions defined for each group according to their treatment needs and journeys.

Table of Contents

 

We have begun executing a strategic initiative to expand beyond our core cloud-based alcohol monitoring and detection solutions to establish a broader presence within the health and wellness ecosystem. This evolution reflects SOBR’s commitment to supporting users not only in maintaining sobriety but also in achieving overall physical and mental well-being. Approximately 40% of Americans who experience AUD each year also experience depression, and around 35% live with anxiety. This overlap highlights a sizable total addressable market that spans behavioral health providers including sober living facilities, intensive outpatient programs, and residential treatment centers as well as retail consumers managing recovery for themselves or supporting a loved one.  We believe this expansion will strengthen user engagement, diversify revenue streams, and position the Company as a comprehensive wellness technology provider in the future. Our ongoing focus will be placed on product innovation, providing data-driven user insights, and ensuring that new offerings remain consistent with our mission to promote a healthier, safer world free from the impacts of alcohol with balanced lifestyles.

 

Marketing

 

We have developed a marketing plan that includes:

 

consumer and enterprise e-commerce web-solutions,

search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM),

integrated digital and traditional media campaigns,

brand ambassadors, affiliate partners and social media influencers,

public relations initiatives and trade shows,

business to business targeted digital campaigns,

alcohol detection/testing channel partners,

territorial sales agents,

advocacy group alignment,

ongoing brand development, and

continuous pursuit of cutting-edge technologies for future integration.

 

As of September 30, 2025, we have retained six channel partners to augment our sales and marketing efforts, serving business customers with SOBRsafe technology solutions, including the SOBRcheck and SOBRsure devices.

 

Recent Developments 

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the following developments occurred:

 

 

Achieved an increase in revenue of 102.1% from the prior year nine-month period.

 

Net proceeds of approximately $3.3M were received from the exercise of outstanding warrants during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, which were issued in conjunction with the 2024 PIPE Financing completed in October 2024.

 

We effected and completed a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock on April 4, 2025, a Share Combination Event, reducing the total number of outstanding shares from approximately 15.2 million to 1.5 million. Fractional shares as a result of the reverse stock split were rounded up to one full share of common stock. Following the reverse stock split, the exercise price of the Series A Warrants issued in conjunction with the 2024 PIPE Financing was reduced to the Floor Price of $7.60 per common share. Further, the Share Combination Event resulted in the calculation of a True-up Payment due to the remaining holders limited to a ceiling of $1,640,000, which was paid in full in July 2025.

 

Enhanced SOBRsafe's patent-pending software technology solutions with improvements to the mobile application including streamlined administration application and notification protocols and introduced new user interface elements.

 

Completed third-party hardware product validation tests in the first quarter of 2025 and a corresponding third-party product sensor validation test.

 

Collaborated with a national marketing firm providing solutions to and for the largest U.S. newspaper publisher and the largest local-to-national publishing and digital media organization in the United States, launching both business-to-consumer and business-to-business marketing initiatives building brand recognition and support 2025 sales efforts.

Revenue 

 

Revenues of $108,893 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 have increased by $62,764, or an increase of 136.1%, as compared to the prior year period of $46,129. This increase is primarily driven by increased sales of our SOBRsure device of $25,059, or 336.0%, and an increase in sales of our SOBRsure software subscriptions of $41,915, or 312.5%. These increases have been offset by increases in sales returns and discounts of $7,130. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company sold 277 unique SOBRsure 2nd generation devices, representing an increase of 55.6% from 178 unique sales of SOBRsure 2nd generation devices during the three months ended June 30, 2025.

 

Gross Profit

 

The cost of goods and services for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $71,026 resulting in a gross profit of $37,867 and a gross margin of 34.8%. The cost of goods and services for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $15,992 resulting in a gross profit of $30,137 and a gross margin of 65.3%. The decrease in gross margin is primarily driven by two factors: (i) strategic price reductions to the SOBRsure devices and software subscriptions and (ii) an increase in cost of goods associated with product replacements. The pricing adjustments reflect a proactive approach to enhancing market competitiveness and expanding our customer base. The replacements were linked to specific product quality issues that have since been identified and addressed. The Company has implemented corrective actions, including enhanced quality assurance processes and supplier performance reviews, to mitigate similar issues going forward. We expect these efforts to support margin recovery in future periods while maintaining our focus on customer satisfaction and product integrity. While these actions contributed to a short-term decline in gross margin, they are expected to support revenue growth and improve margin performance over the longer term.

 

General and Administrative Expenses 

 

General and administrative expenses increased by $618,345, from $1,499,296 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, to $2,117,641 for the three months ended September 30, 2025. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in payroll costs of $286,965, an increase in business development costs of $156,002, an increase in professional services spend of $155,926 principally in marketing efforts, and an increase in travel costs of $19,571.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

 

The Company had stock-based compensation expense of $115,250 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $184,243 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The reduction in stock-based compensation expense is due to previously issued equity compensation awards becoming fully vested and no issuance of new awards in 2025.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses decreased by $164,364, or 84.5%, to $30,102 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $194,466 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in research and development is driven by focusing on improvements to its existing SOBRsafe software platform and enhancements to its mobile application, whereas the prior year spend was primarily driven by more expensive hardware development initiatives including the development of the second generation of the SOBRsure device.

 

Other Income, net

 

Other income, net increased by $34,893 from $12,566 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, to $47,459 for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Other income consists primarily of interest income earned on cash deposits. The increase in interest income is due to more cash on hand during 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024 as a result of cash proceeds from the 2024 PIPE Financing in October 2024, and the Series A Warrant exercises completed in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025.

 

Interest Expense 

 

Interest expense increased by $3,053 from $5,908 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, to $8,961 for the three months ended September 30, 2025. This increase is due to an increase in the premium financing note payable balance at September 30, 2025.

 

Operating Loss; Net Loss

 

Our operating loss increased by $377,258 from $1,847,868 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2,225,126 for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The change in our operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same prior year period, is primarily a result in an increase in general and administrative expense (as detailed above), offset by decreases in stock-based compensation and research and development expenses.

 

Our net loss increased by $345,418 from $1,841,210 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, to $2,186,628 for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The change in our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same prior year period, is primarily a result in an increase our operating loss as detailed above, offset by an increase in interest income.

Revenue 

 

Revenues of $299,738 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, have increased by $151,428, or 102.1%, as compared to the prior year period of $148,310. This increase from the prior year period is primarily driven by increased sales of our SOBRsure device of $94,960, or 195.1%; an increase in sales of our SOBRsure subscriptions of $72,593, or 412.5%; an increase in our SOBRcheck subscriptions of $6,362, or 10.1%. These increases are offset by decreased sales of our SOBRcheck device of $14,888 and an increase in discounts and returns of $9,991. During the first nine months of 2025, the Company sold 603 unique SOBRsure 2nd generation devices after being launched in the fourth quarter of 2024.

 

Gross Profit

 

The cost of goods and services for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $151,023 resulting in a gross profit of $148,715 and a gross margin of 49.6%. The cost of goods and services for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $81,929 resulting in a gross profit of $66,381. The prior period cost of goods and services included an inventory cost adjustment of $23,410 resulting in an adjusted gross margin of 58.4%. The decrease in gross margin is primarily driven by an increase in cost of goods associated with product replacements during the third quarter of 2025. The replacements were linked to specific product quality issues that have since been identified and addressed. While this impacted gross margin in the short term, the Company has implemented corrective actions, including enhanced quality assurance processes and supplier performance reviews, to mitigate similar issues going forward. We expect these efforts to support margin recovery in future periods while maintaining our focus on customer satisfaction and product integrity. The gross margin adjusted for these replacements was 59.7%.

 

General and Administrative Expenses 

 

General and administrative expenses increased by $1,445,347, or 33.5%, from $4,310,791 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, to $5,756,138 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in professional services spend of $852,678 principally for the 2025 consumer and commercial marketing programs launched for the first time, an increase in payroll costs of $548,060, an increase in business development expense of $80,494 offset by a decrease in insurance spend of $28,748.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

 

The Company had stock-based compensation expense of $370,180 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $584,551 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The reduction in stock-based compensation expense is due to previously issued equity compensation awards becoming fully vested and no issuance of new awards in 2025.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, decreased by $335,226, or 55.4%, from $604,927 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, to $269,701 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in research and development is due to the Company making improvements to its existing SOBRsafe software platform and enhancements to its mobile application, whereas the prior year spend was primarily driven by more expensive hardware development initiatives including the second generation of the SOBRsure device.

 

Other Income, net

 

Other income, net increased by $153,911 from $46,978 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $200,889 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Other income consists primarily of interest income earned on cash deposits. The increase is due to more cash on hand during 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024 as a result of cash proceeds from the 2024 PIPE Financing in October 2024, and the Series A Warrant exercises completed in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense decreased by $436,967 from $451,720 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, to $14,753 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This decrease was due to make-whole interest related to outstanding convertible debt as the conversion of debt to common stock was completed in the prior year.

 

Operating Loss; Net Loss

 

Our operating loss increased by $813,416, from $5,433,888 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $6,247,304 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The change in our operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same prior year period, is primarily a result in an increase in general and administrative expense as detailed above, offset by decreases in stock-based compensation and research and development expenses.

 

Our net loss decreased by $363,337 from $6,424,505 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $6,061,168 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The change in our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same prior year period, is primarily a result of notes payable conversion expense not experienced in 2025 and a decrease in interest expense for make-whole interest, and an increase in interest income. These decreases were offset by the increase in our operating loss as compared to the prior period detailed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources for Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025, Compared to December 31, 2024

 

Introduction

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations. Future capital requirements will depend on many factors including the Company’s ability to sell and develop products, generate cash flow from operations, and assess competing market developments. The Company will need additional capital in the near term. Our cash on hand as of September 30, 2025, was $4,711,664 and our current normalized operating cash flow burn rate is approximately $560,000 per month.

Management believes that cash balances and positive working capital at September 30, 2025 do not provide adequate operating capital for operating activities for the next twelve months after the date these financial statements are issued. Management anticipates additional revenue generation with the release of its second-generation SOBRsure device and a comprehensive marketing plan. In addition, the Company’s plans and ability to access capital sources and implement expense reduction tactics to preserve working capital provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. These plans are contingent upon the actions to be performed by the Company which have been implemented through the quarter and will continue into future periods, however, these conditions have not been met on or before November 12, 2025. As such, substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has not been alleviated at September 30, 2025.  

 

Our cash, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, and total liabilities as of September 30, 2025, and as of December 31, 2024, respectively, are as follows:

Our total current assets and total assets decreased as of September 30, 2025, as compared to December 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in cash of $3,672,378, amortization of SOBRsafe Intellectual Technology and Right-of-Use assets of approximately $364,000, and lower inventory on hand of approximately $82,600, offset by an increase in prepaid expenses of approximately $121,000 and accounts receivable of approximately $8,000.

 

Our total current liabilities and total liabilities decreased as of September 30, 2025, as compared to December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable of approximately $27,500, and accrued expenses of approximately $138,000. The decrease in accrued expenses during the period was primarily driven by the payment of approximately $82,600 for transactional costs related to the exercise of Series A Warrants in 2024. The decrease in current liabilities is offset by an increase in notes payable of approximately $83,000, deferred revenue of approximately $10,000, and operating lease liabilities of approximately $10,300.

ITEM 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

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

 

ITEM 4 Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a – 15(c) and 15d – 15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who are our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, respectively, concluded that, as of the quarter ended September 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

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.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our process for evaluating controls and procedures is continuous and encompasses constant improvement of the design and effectiveness of established controls and procedures and the remediation of any deficiencies, which may be identified during this process.

 

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

(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 September 30, 2025. 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.

 

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” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item.  However, our current risk factors are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2025.

 

While we contract with US-based suppliers for our products, we may be indirectly exposed to third-party vendor risk.

 

We use multiple US-based suppliers to manufacture our products, and such suppliers may have complex supply chains, making it challenging for us to identify all the risks in the supply chain. In addition, such suppliers may contract separately with sub-suppliers that may be located in different countries with different laws and regulations, making it difficult to ensure compliance.  While we conduct due diligence before engaging a supplier and regularly review and assess their performance, our due diligence review does not include any sub-suppliers they may use, nor have we worked with our suppliers to improve their risk management practices. In addition, we have not developed contingency plans to address potential disruptions in our supply chain, such as identifying alternative suppliers or building up inventory.
