PART I
 
Throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the “Company,” “HyreCar,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refers to HyreCar Inc. and “our board of
directors” or our “Board” refers to the board of directors of HyreCar Inc.
 
Item 1. Business
 
Overview
 
HyreCar Inc. was formed as a corporation in the State of Delaware on November 24, 2014. Our founders identified the need for a car-sharing
platform for individuals who wanted to drive for ride-sharing companies such as Uber Technologies Inc. (“Uber”) and Lyft, Inc. (“Lyft”), but whose
automobiles could not meet the standards imposed by the ride-sharing companies. For example, Uber maintains strict guidelines regarding the types of cars a
driver can use. Although guidelines relating to cars can differ by state, in general the use of two door coupes, motorcycles and cars that are 12 years or older
are excluded. Our founders, before deciding to purchase qualifying sedans that met Uber’s strict guidelines, first inquired as to whether there were any rental
options available from Uber that would allow them to drive for the ride-sharing platform. To their surprise, there were no rental options available, other than
a “shadow industry” of individuals renting cars to one another.
 
HyreCar is a car-sharing marketplace that allows car owners (collectively, “Owners”) to rent their idle cars to ride-sharing service drivers
(collectively, “Drivers”). By sourcing vehicles from individual Owners, part-time Drivers may more easily enter and exit the market and our business model
allows us to satisfy fluctuating transportation demand in cities around the United States by matching Owners and Drivers. In 2019, we began to diversify our
vehicle supply to include commercial owners of vehicles including car dealerships and fleet owners to help increase activity levels. In early 2021, we began
actively promoting and adding electric vehicles to the platform.
 
Our business is based on a proprietary car-sharing marketplace developed to (i) onboard Owners and Drivers, (ii) facilitate the matching of Owners
and Drivers and (iii) log rental activity for Owners and Drivers. All transactions related to the rental (including, but not limited to, background checks,
rentals, deposits and insurance costs) are run securely through the HyreCar platform. Drivers and Owners access their rental or car dashboards through a
unique login. Drivers can initiate, terminate or extend a rental through the platform while Owners can manage their car or fleet of cars through the platform.
 
We believe we have a competitive advantage with our commercial automobile insurance policy that covers both Owners and Drivers. The policy is
specifically designed to cover the period of time in which a Driver is operating an Owner’s vehicle while not actively operating a vehicle on a ride-sharing
platform, such as Uber or Lyft. During the periods when Drivers are actively operating on a ride-sharing platform, the insurance subordinates to the state
mandated insurance provided by the third party ride-sharing business. To our knowledge, we are the only provider of this car-matching service utilizing this
unique insurance product.
 
Our car supply has evolved from initially being provided mostly by individual owners to a majority of our car supply and rental days coming from
the commercial providers – consisting primarily of auto dealers and large fleet owners. The majority of our rental days come from certain states including
Georgia, California, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas. We have also increased driver leads matched in those same key markets, which has been achieved
through organic search traffic and paid search advertising. Going forward we will direct advertising dollars strategically because we believe that online
channels and offline brand awareness will provide potential opportunities for growth.
 
Impact of COVID-19 to our Business
 
In March 2020, COVID-19 began spreading rapidly throughout the world, prompting governments and businesses to take unprecedented measures
in response. Such measures included restrictions on travel and business operations, temporary closures of businesses, quarantines and shelter-in-place orders.
While the extent of the governmental measures fluctuated over time and varied across jurisdictions, the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the
emergence of new COVID-19 variants on the Company’s operational and financial performance is still uncertain and will depend on many factors outside the
Company’s control, including, without limitation, the timing, extent, trajectory and duration of the pandemic, vaccination rates, and the effectiveness of
vaccines and other treatments, the emergence of new variants (e.g. Omicron) and any renewed imposition of protective public safety measures. Refer to Part
I, Item 1A of this Form 10-K under the heading “Risk Factors,” for more information.

Industry and Market Opportunities
 
Our company was founded to primarily capitalize on a combination of two growth markets: ridesharing (an industry led by Uber and Lyft) and car-
sharing (an industry led by companies such as Turo, Inc. and ZipCar, Inc.). Our customers are the Drivers that use our car-sharing platform to rent a car and
then use that car to earn income driving for ride share companies (or otherwise utilize the vehicle for commercial purposes, such as food delivery). Finding
enough cars and drivers to meet demand has historically been a problem for ride-sharing companies. Recently we have expanded our target marketing to
Drivers who provide delivery services with companies like Instacart and Doordash.
 
The transportation industry represents a massive market. In the United States alone, consumer expenditures on transportation were approximately
$1.2 trillion and $1.4 trillion in 2020 and 2019, respectively with 2021 preliminary estimates seeing an increase from 2020 pandemic low levels.
Transportation was the second largest household expenditure after housing and was almost twice as large as healthcare and three times as large as
entertainment. We believe we are still in the relatively early phases of potentially capturing part of the opportunity in the industry. In 2019, ridesharing
accounted for just seven percent of total vehicle miles travelled in the United States and in a 2016 survey, 57% of U.S. respondents who used sharing services
said that well-priced and convenient offerings could cause them to give up ownership altogether.
 
We have added over 70,000 Drivers over the past several years, matching them with Owner vehicles that have been used on rideshare and
delivery platforms. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we added approximately 22,000 and 14,000 new Drivers, respectively, into cars so
that they could drive for ride-share and delivery companies. These numbers represent an approximate 57% growth rate in new drivers onto the HyreCar
platform year over year.
 
Ride-sharing Industry (Uber and Lyft)
 
The growth in ridesharing over the past few years has kicked off a transportation revolution. Smart phones are now used as ride hailing apps,
transactions are processed through online platforms and transportation as a service is becoming more and more personalized. The industry has
experienced significant traction. According to a July 2016 post on TechCrunch, it took Uber six years, to December 2015, to complete a billion trips and in
2021 Uber reported over 6 billion trips, a tremendous acceleration in growth and adoption.
 
Transportation Network Companies (“TNCs”) like Uber and Lyft have historically reported high demand from Drivers but many of these Drivers do
not own a car that qualifies for their platforms. Uber reported that it had 4.4 million drivers earning on its platform at the end of 2021. According to Gridwise
in 2020, a leading business app that helps rideshare and delivery drivers maximize earnings, between 15 and 20% of rideshare drivers reported not using or
intending to use their own vehicle on the rideshare platforms, indicating a large potential demand for rental vehicles that might continue to increase with an
increasing volume of rideshare drivers. Accordingly, TNCs are actively taking steps to satisfy their driver demand by setting up programs designed to get
eligible drivers into qualified cars, including such programs as the Enterprise/Uber partnership, the Lyft Express Driver partnership with Hertz and Pep Boys
and the General Motor’s Maven program. These programs indicate that there is a potential healthy market to pair eligible drivers with qualified cars.
 
Food and Package Industry (Instacart and Grubhub)
 
With the growth in food, package and grocery delivery services such as Instacart, Doordash, Uber Eats and Grubhub, HyreCar expects driver
demand for services such as HyreCar's platform to continue into 2022 and beyond. With estimated revenue for food app delivery companies at $27B in 2020
up from $22B in 2019 according to McKinsey and forecasts from several sources in the $40M+ range in 2025, the trends indicate growth in that segment that
HyreCar can further capitalize on. Drivers participating into the Gig economy are diversifying their sources of income across many different TNCs and
delivery services. Over 60% of all HyreCar drivers are active drivers for both rideshare and delivery service companies.
 
Car-sharing Industry
 
Shared mobility market began to rapidly develop around 2010-2011 when the total number of its users exceeded one million. In 2017, there were
already around 10 million people using this type of service, and according to a study by Frost & Sullivan, by 2025 their numbers will reach 36 million,
maintaining the annual growth rate of 16.4%. Statista forecasts the value of the global car sharing market in 2022 at $13 billion. At present, the leading
shared mobility markets are the U.S. and Western Europe, while experts predict that Asia will experience the fastest growth in this field. HyreCar is
attempting to capitalize on this opportunity as demand from traditional taxi and public transportation options continues to be, in part, transferred to shared
transportation services. Further, growth is expected from this opportunity as the accelerating trend of the mass ease-of-use and availability of shared
transportation permanently shifts some driving habits away from personal vehicle ownership. Evidence of this decline, while not yet a national trend, can be
seen in large cities as vehicle ownership is beginning to decline. Longer term, we envision a potential impact on the auto industry as a whole from a subset of
people permanently changing their driving habits and selling their cars entirely in favor of using shared transportation.

Competition
 
We believe the key differentiator between HyreCar and our competitors is our asset light model, which allows us to connect excess car inventory to
drivers without owning or managing the vehicles. This allows our prices to be competitive with other vehicle solutions because we do not have the monthly
vehicle overhead or infrastructure costs that our competitors may have. Other advantages of our platform include the following:
 
 
1.
Pay-As-You-Go: Drivers using our platform are not locked into lengthy lease agreements, monthly contracts or subscription fees. Our payment
model is upfront and transparent. While our competitors engage in auto-debiting payment for the rented vehicle from the Drivers’ accounts,
regardless of their current account balance, under our platform Drivers pay for the term of rental up-front, extend if they are financially able,
and return the rented vehicle whenever they need with no “strings” attached. We believe we are the only company providing this type of fluid
and frictionless car transaction for Uber and Lyft drivers.
 
 
 
 
2.
Convenience: In some cases, Drivers on our platform are renting a car from a local supplier or even their neighbor. They walk down the street,
take the keys and go. With Hertz or Avis, only a small portion of retail outlets participate in the Uber and Lyft programs.
 
 
 
 
3.
Flexibility: The ability to use the same car for both rideshare companies plus food and other deliveries is an important reason why many drivers
choose our platform. Coupled with a comprehensive protection program that includes insurance, drivers are attracted to this unique service not
offered by our competition.
 
Among vehicle solutions for ride-sharing rentals, are Avis, Hertz, Getaround and HyreCar. These car rental companies are similar in one way: they
operate in the U.S. and provide cars drivers to rent and drive on the Uber or Lyft platform. However, their business models vary widely.
 
Hertz (OTC:HTZGQ) and Fair.com (“Fair”) were competitors with vehicle supply partnerships with Uber, but both experienced hardships in 2020.
Hertz declared bankruptcy mid-year and following Uber’s spring 2019 initial public offering, Fair was offering promotional weekly rates to Uber drivers,
which presented a competitive threat in certain marketing, particularly in California. The partnership ended in February 2020 when Uber announced it was
ending this “Fair Go” partnership, and as a result Fair has exited the weekly rental business.

Our Strengths
 
Using our website platform or mobile applications (iOS and Android), vehicle Owners can post their cars to our marketplace and Drivers can
browse car inventory prior to rental. Once a Driver finds a car, he or she creates a profile, enters his or her personal information and credentials (including,
address, city, state, a copy of applicable state issued driver’s license, Uber or Lyft credentials and social security number) and submits a credit card for
payment. We then perform a criminal background check, DMV driving record check, Homeland Security Watch-list and Sex Offender database check.
HyreCar’s screening criteria is stricter than Uber and Lyft’s background check and we are focused on maintaining a safe user experience and seek to
ensure that all transactions between owners and drivers are processed through a secure web platform. We believe the attraction and vetting of qualified gig
economy drivers is a primary reason why commercial automobile businesses around the country utilize the Company's platform.
 
Why Drivers Use Our Service
 
 
● 
Attractive Economics: Steadily increasing earning potential for drivers on ride-sharing and delivery platforms easily covers car rental cost.
 
 
● 
Platform Agnostic: Ability to earn income by driving for multiple ride-sharing or delivery services simultaneously.
 
 
● 
Pay-As-You-Go: Drivers are not locked into long-term lease agreements or monthly payments or even subscription fees.
 
 
● 
Convenience: Drivers can quickly pick up the car from a location close by. Typically getting behind the wheel in under 48 hours.
 
 
● 
Transparency and Trust: No hidden fees and only Car Owners who have been properly vetted are permitted to use the platform.
 
 
● 
Customer Experience: Application of game-design elements (i.e. gamification) of the platform keeps Drivers engaged.
 
Why Owners Use Our Service
 
Data from a national survey of driving behavior indicates that private vehicles are in use 5% or less during any given day, or about one hour per day.
Given the excess capacity of vehicle hours, higher vehicle utilization rates, and lower vehicle ownership rates, we expect a consumer shift towards
acceptance of car-sharing. Based on the results of the survey, we believe our platform is advantageous for the following reasons:
 
 
● 
Passive Income: We often match Owners with long term Drivers, which provides the Owners with a steady source of passive income resulting
from our re-booking process.
 
 
● 
Insurance: Physical damage and liability policies offered through the Company help fill the  “gaps” left by personal and ride-sharing policies.
 
 
● 
Review of Drivers: Drivers must pass our extensive background checks.
 
Insurance Coverage
 
A key component to our business is our commercial auto insurance coverage. The two-sided nature of our platform means that we need to insure
both the Driver and the Owner. Prior to any rental the Driver and Owner are provided an insurance ID card that lists the Driver’s name and the vehicle
identification number. Insurance is typically generated for the rental until the Owner confirms drop-off of the rented vehicle by the Driver. The vehicle pick-
up and drop-off is all managed through our platform. An Owner takes pictures of his or her vehicle prior to pressing the “Confirm Pick-up” button on the
HyreCar mobile app. After the rental is completed, the Owner presses the “Confirm Drop-off” button on the HyreCar mobile app and the rental ends.

AON is our insurance broker utilizing their Digital Economy Practice for consulting and insurance placement activities. AON is a leading global
professional services firm providing advice and solutions in risk, retirement and health. We moved our annual automobile insurance policy to Apollo for the
policy year June 2020 to June 2021 and in May 2021 renewed the policy to extend through January 2023.
 
For insurance purposes a vehicle rental is broken into four distinct driving periods. Period 0 is when the Driver has picked a vehicle up from the
Owner and is driving with the Uber or Lyft app turned-off. Period 1 is when the Driver has the Uber or Lyft app turned-on but has not yet accepted a fare.
Period 2 is when the Driver has accepted a fare and is on the way to pick-up a passenger. Period 3 is when a passenger is in the vehicle. The HyreCar policy
is specifically written to cover periods in which the Drivers are operating HyreCar vehicles OFF the Uber or Lyft platform (period 0). During the periods
when Drivers are operating ON the Uber or Lyft platform (periods 1, 2 and 3), the HyreCar liability insurance mostly subordinates to state mandated
insurance provided by Uber and Lyft. This enables us to keep insurance costs and liability low by leveraging state mandated insurance policies provided by
the TNCs.
 
Business Structure and Strategy 
 
We operate primarily out of our corporate office in Los Angeles, California. Our technology platform allows for a relatively small staff compared to
the size and reach of our business. For example, our platform matches drivers and owners in certain states and key markets where we have no physical
presence. Our business structure is divided into three distinct departments: General and Administrative, Sales and Marketing and Research and Development.
 
Our Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success teams continue to be critical drivers of growth with responsibility for acquisition, engagement, and
retention of demand and supply.  As we have oriented our technology stack around the user experience, we have made searching for and booking vehicles
a more seamless process. We have found that a portion of our leads are able to convert to verified drivers and book their first rental with few manual
touchpoints. As we continue to invest in creating a frictionless, more automated first rental experience, we have also optimized how and when our sales
resources intervene in the driver and owner journeys to drive customer success. In 2021, we continued the transition  of our sales teams to success agents
tasked with resolving complex issues and providing guidance on maximizing rideshare productivity for Drivers and utilization for Owners in order to
increase system revenue.
 
Our Customer Success Division is composed of four distinct teams: Driver Success, Owner Success, Utilization, and Customer Service. First, the
Driver Success team is mostly based offshore and is divided into two groups. One group is responsible for facilitating background checks and identity
verifications, and another group helps drivers with booking their first rental and extending rentals through a consultative, earnings-maximization
approach. Second, the Owner Success team builds and maintains relationships with Owner customers for our peer-to-peer, mini-fleet, and fleet segments to
onboard, retain and steadily increase supply of vehicles across all regions, with a focus on HyreCar’s top 15 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). Strategic
Account Managers are placed in-market and are responsible for sourcing commercial supply, including through dealerships, rental agencies, and purpose-
built fleets. These team members have fleet operations backgrounds and rental management expertise that are used to prospect, onboard, and grow
commercial supply on the marketplace. Through these customer relationships, the team has developed a replicable and scalable “HyreCar Owner Playbook”
that provides guidance on setting up rideshare-friendly and compliant fleets as well as rental management best practices to maximize profitability. The Owner
success team drove over 14,000 new car listings on the HyreCar marketplace in 2021. Third, the Utilization team is responsible for overall marketplace
liquidity and growth, working with both owners and drivers to incentivize rental applications, increase approvals, and drive extensions to maximize rental
days. Finally, the Customer Service team is mostly composed of offshore associates who operate 24/7 to cover inbound inquiries related to their rental
experience such as claims, payments, and roadside assistance.
 
We currently operate with one Technology Development team in the United States, including multiple full-time developers based out of our home
office in Los Angeles and overseas. The team is tasked with maintaining the current codebase and website, and incrementally adding enhancement to the
Owner and Driver application and website to support our expansion into institutional car supply nationally.
 
In 2021, we executed several initiatives intended to increase sales and operational efficiency. In addition, to technology-driven automation, we
moved driver-facing Customer Success and Customer Service teams offshore, and expanded their size to prepare for growth at scale. The implementation of
a single communications and case management platform across all Customer Success teams contributed to a 36% reduction in inbound customer cases.
Technology-driven enhancements to the vehicle listing process and the internal re-organization of the sales teams led to an increase of owner lead conversion
by 19% between the first quarter and the fourth quarter, while reducing headcount.  
 
Looking forward to 2022 and as 34% of the general population joined the gig economy during the pandemic according to some sources, we believe
that demand will continue to increase as a result of macroeconomic conditions, a fundamental shift in customer preferences for delivery accelerated by the
pandemic and rising inflation. While supply chain shortages and a strong used vehicle market have presented challenges for supply, we expect that our
current strategy focusing on partnerships and investments in acquiring and growing large fleet operators to our platform, including AmeriDrive, will provide
a steady and dedicated supply of vehicles to satisfy that demand. Additionally, offerings for smaller operators designed to help them scale to steadily increase
vehicle supply in 2022 will also help us meet an increasing portion of the anticipated demand.  
 
By continuing to invest in automation and focusing on the creation of additional self-service opportunities for drivers and owners, we anticipate
reduced operational expenses and an improved customer experience. Planned initiatives include the implementation of AI-driven chatbots and increased use
of chat as a channel that will provide faster, more responsive 24/7 issue resolution, improve platform engagement, and increase utilization. To increase rental
conversion, we are developing features that will make it faster, simpler, and more fun to find, book, and start trips with HyreCar. This includes pre-filtered
listings based on driver preferences, searchable listings on Google, application approvals/extension automation, and gamification.

Revenue Model
 
We generate revenue by taking a fee out of each rental processed on our platform. Each rental transaction represents a Driver renting a car from an
Owner. Drivers pay a daily rental rate set by the Car Owner, plus a 10%-20% HyreCar Driver Fee and direct daily insurance costs. Owners receive their daily
rental rate minus a 15-30% HyreCar Owner Fee. For example, as of December 31, 2021, the average daily rental rate of a HyreCar vehicle nationally is
approximately $38.00 (“Daily Rental Rate”), plus a 10%-20% HyreCar Driver fee ($6) and daily direct insurance fee of $15.00, totaling $59 in total daily
gross billings is paid by the Driver via a card transaction. On average approximately 77% of the daily rental or $30 is transferred to the Owner via our
merchant processing partner. HyreCar earns revenues from the two revenue share fees and the insurance totaling approximately $30 per day. Accordingly, the
GAAP reportable revenue recognized by HyreCar is $29 in this example transaction, as detailed in the following table:

Gross billings is an important measure by which we evaluate and manage our business. We define gross billings as the amount billed to Drivers,
without any adjustments for amounts paid to Owners or refunds. It is important to note that gross billings is a non-GAAP measure and as such, is not
recorded in our financial statements as revenue. However, we use gross billings to assess our business growth, scale of operations and our ability to generate
gross billings is strongly correlated to our ability to generate revenues. Gross billings may also be used to calculate net revenue margin, defined as the
company’s GAAP reportable revenue over gross billings. Using the definition of net revenue margin and the example above, HyreCar’s net revenue margin is
equal to approximately 49% for the full-year ended December 31, 2021 ($35,716,031 HyreCar’s GAAP revenue over $73,344,808 Total Gross Billings) and
about 51% for the fourth quarter of 2021. A breakout of revenue components is provided in the section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K titled
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the footnotes to our audited consolidated financial
statements.
 
Marketing Plan
 
Historically, we have used promotions to drive engagement and conversion at different points in the driver and owner funnels. Our acquisition
funnel was primarily relying on paid channels (including keywords on internet search engines), and our driver funnel resulted in over 365,000 driver
applicants in 2021, of which only a portion rented through the Company leaving demand unfulfilled. In 2022, to increase conversion rates, total number of
rental days, and vehicle supply we are investing in the creation of value for drivers and owners beyond vehicle and driver access. By building on our
affiliates network and leveraging the collective buying power of our user base, we are incorporating strategic partnerships and integrations into our product
offerings and creating a potentially monetizable ecosystem that expands our platform beyond matching supply and demand. These efforts include the
implementation of tools to help drivers learn when and where to drive to maximize earnings, the launch of a driver discounts and perks program, and an
Owner marketplace for discounts and special access to products and services that reduce vehicle/fleet operating costs. Through our partnership
with AmeriDrive, we are able to test and launch supply-side programs at scale as we continue to experiment with fleet offerings that drive supply retention
and obtain live data feedback. We expect improved retention and loyalty of owners and drivers to reduce our operational overhead while significantly
increasing lifetime value and spend efficiency across all channels as we benefit from increased organic, higher-quality leads and referrals.

Insurance Opportunity
 
Most of our cost of revenue is related to direct insurance premiums and claims expense. The premiums are broken into two categories, liability
insurance and physical damage. The unique nature of our insurance enables us to keep insurance costs and liability low by leveraging state-mandated
insurance policies provided by the Transportation Network Companies.
 
In addition to self-insurance, the Company is also working continuously with AON to develop new and innovative insurance products. The
Company has developed alternative insurance opportunities including a new type of owner “lay-up” insurance and higher insurance level for fleet vehicle
owners on the HyreCar platform. Lay-up insurance replaces the need for an owner’s personal auto insurance policy and represents significant cost savings
when compared to other insurance options available in the market today. Offering this type of insurance product benefits the company in multiple verticals,
including reduced insurance claim expense, greater customer retention and stickiness to the HyreCar platform.
 
Regulation
 
The California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) was the first state regulatory body to impose rules and guidelines for ridesharing in the
United States. The CPUC designated Uber and Lyft as “transportation network companies” or TNCs. The CPUC guidelines became the standard for all states
across the U.S. Most states have adopted some form of the guidelines. California is one of the strictest states when it comes to regulating the TNCs. Our
insurance works within the California guidelines which potentially makes it adoptable by future state mandates outside of California.
 
Changes in government regulation of our business have the potential to materially alter our business practices or our operational results. Depending
on the jurisdiction, those changes may come about through the issuance of new laws and regulations or changes in the interpretation of existing laws and
regulations by a court, regulatory body or governmental official. Sometimes those changes may have not just prospective but also retroactive effect; this is
particularly true when a change is made through reinterpretation of laws or regulations that have been in effect for some time. Moreover, changes in
regulation that may seem neutral on their face may have either more or less impact on us than on ride-sharing businesses, depending on the circumstances.
Potential changes in law or regulation that may affect us relate to insurance intermediaries, customer privacy, data security and rate regulation.
 
In addition, our operations also could be affected by any limitation in the fuel supply or by any imposition of mandatory allocation or rationing
regulations. We are not aware of any current proposal to impose such a regime in the U.S. or internationally. Such a regime could, however, be quickly
imposed if there was a serious disruption in the fuel supply for any reason, including an act of war, terrorist incident or a natural disaster affecting the
petroleum supply, refining, distribution or pricing.
 
Employees
 
As of December 31, 2021, we employ 76 full-time personnel primarily in our headquarters location in downtown Los Angeles, California. Our team
moved to a hybrid (in office and remote) work schedule as of the third quarter of 2021 after having been mainly remote since March 2020 due to COVID-19
limitations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as general economic and business risks and the other information in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K. The occurrence of any of the events or circumstances described below or other adverse events could have a material adverse effect on
our business, results of operations and financial condition and could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. Additional risks or
uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also harm our business.
 
Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry
 
Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and prospects and may increase the risks associated with your
investment.
 
We were founded in 2014. Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and prospects and plan for and model our
future growth. We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by rapidly growing companies in
developing markets. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties are incorrect or change in response to changes in the ridesharing or car-sharing
market, our results of operations and financial results could differ materially from our plans and forecasts. Although we have experienced periods of rapid
growth since our inception, there is no assurance that such growth will continue. Any success we may experience in the future will depend in large part
on our ability to, among other things:
 
 
● 
maintain and expand our customer base (drivers and owners) and the ways in which customers use our platform;
 
 
● 
expand revenue from existing customers through increased or broader use of our platform;
 
 
● 
improve the performance and capabilities of our platform through research and development;
 
 
● 
effectively expand our business domestically and internationally, which will require that we rapidly expand our sales force and retain/fill key
management positions; and
 
 
● 
successfully compete with other companies that currently provide, or may in the future provide, solutions like ours.
 
If we are unable to achieve our key objectives, including the objectives listed above, our business and results of operations will be adversely
affected, and the value of our securities could decline.
 
The COVID-19 pandemic has at times disrupted and harmed, and is expected to continue to disrupt and harm, our business, financial condition and
results of operations. We are unable to predict the extent to which the pandemic and related impacts will continue to adversely impact our business,
financial condition and results of operations and the achievement of our strategic objectives.
 
Our business, operations and financial performance have at times been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and related public health
responses, such as travel bans, travel restrictions and shelter-in-place orders that were implemented in various jurisdictions from time to time. The pandemic
and these related responses have at times caused, and could potentially cause, at least temporarily, decreased demand for our platform relative to pre-COVID-
19 demand, a slowdown of economic activity (including a decrease in demand for a broad variety of goods and services), disruptions in global supply chains,
and significant volatility and disruption of financial markets.
 
The COVID-19 pandemic has subjected our operations, financial performance and financial condition to a number of risks, including, but not
limited to those discussed below:
 
 
● 
Declines in travel as a result COVID-19, including commuting, local travel, and business and leisure travel, has at times resulted in decreased
demand for our platform which has decreased our anticipated revenue growth trajectory. During certain periods in the past, these factors have
led to a decrease in earning opportunities for drivers on our platform. Changes in transportation trends and behavior arising from COVID-19
may continue to develop or persist over time and further contribute to this adverse effect.
 
 
● 
Changes in driver behavior arising from COVID-19 have, at times, led to reduced levels of driver availability on our platform. To the extent that
driver availability is limited, our service levels may be negatively impacted, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and
results of operation.
 
 
● 
The responsive measures to the COVID-19 pandemic have caused us to modify our business practices by having employees work remotely or
holding virtual meetings regularly. We may in the future be required to or choose voluntarily to take actions for the health and safety of our
workforce, whether in response to government orders or based on our own determinations of what is in the best interests of our employees or
users of our platform. The effects of the pandemic, including remote working arrangements for employees, may also impact our financial
reporting systems and internal control over financial reporting, including our ability to ensure information required to be disclosed in our
reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. To the extent these
measures result in decreased productivity, harm our company culture, adversely affect our ability to maintain internal controls, or otherwise
negatively affect our business, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our results of operations vary and are unpredictable from period-to-period, which could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.
 
Our results of operations have historically varied from period-to-period and we expect that our results of operations will continue to do so for a
variety of reasons, many of which are outside of our control and difficult to predict. Because our results of operations may vary significantly from quarter-to-
quarter and year-to-year, the results of any one period should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. We have presented many of the
factors that may cause our results of operations to fluctuate in this “Risk Factors” section. Fluctuations in our results of operations may cause such results to
fall below our financial guidance or other projections, or the expectations of analysts or investors, which could cause the trading price of our common stock
to decline.
 
The ridesharing market and the market for our service offerings are still in relatively early stages of growth and if such markets do not continue to grow,
grow more slowly than we expect or fail to grow as large as we expect, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely
affected.
 
The ridesharing market has grown rapidly since we launched our car-sharing marketplace in 2014, but it is still relatively new, and it is uncertain to
what extent market acceptance will continue to grow. Our success will depend to a substantial extent on the willingness of people to widely-adopt car-sharing
and ride-sharing generally. We cannot be certain whether the on-going COVID-19 pandemic will from time to time negatively impact the willingness of
drivers or passengers to participate in ridesharing or otherwise adversely affect demand for our services. If the public does not perceive ridesharing as
beneficial, or chooses not to adopt it as a result of concerns regarding public health or safety, affordability or for other reasons, whether as a result of
incidents on Lyft or Uber or similar platforms, the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, or otherwise, then the market for our services may not further develop,
may develop more slowly than we expect or may not achieve the growth potential we expect. Additionally, from time to time we may re-evaluate the markets
in which we operate, and we have discontinued and may in the future discontinue operations in certain markets as a result of such evaluations. Any of the
foregoing risks and challenges could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our business is subject to a wide range of laws and regulations, many of which are evolving, and failure to comply with such laws and regulations could
harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We are subject to a wide variety of laws in the United States and other jurisdictions. Laws, regulations and standards governing issues such as
transportation network companies (“TNCs”), ridesharing, food and package delivery, worker classification, labor and employment, anti-discrimination,
payments, gift cards, whistleblowing and worker confidentiality obligations, product liability, defects, maintenance and repairs, personal injury, text
messaging, subscription services, intellectual property, consumer protection, taxation, privacy, data security, competition, unionizing and collective action,
arbitration agreements and action waiver provisions, terms of service, mobile application accessibility, autonomous vehicles, bike and scooter sharing,
insurance, vehicle rentals, money transmittal, non-emergency medical transportation, environmental health and safety, background checks, public health,
anti-corruption, anti-bribery, and delivery of goods including (but not limited to) medical supplies, perishable foods and prescription drugs are often complex
and subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity. As a result, their application in practice may change or develop over time
through judicial decisions or as new guidance or interpretations are provided by regulatory and governing bodies, such as federal, state and local
administrative agencies.
 
From time to time financial, political and other events have increased the level of regulatory scrutiny on larger companies, technology companies in
general and companies engaged in dealings with independent contractors, such as ridesharing and delivery companies. Regulatory bodies may enact new
laws or promulgate new regulations that are adverse to our business, or, due to changes in our operations and structure or partner relationships as a result of
changes in the market or otherwise, they may view matters or interpret laws and regulations differently than they have in the past or in a manner adverse to
our business. For example, Assembly Bill 5 (as codified in part at Cal. Labor Code sec. 2750.3) codified and extended an employment classification test in
Dynamex Operations West, Inc. v. Superior Court, which established a new standard for determining employee or independent contractor status. The passage
of this bill led to additional challenges to the independent contractor classification of drivers using the Lyft and Uber platforms.
 
Changes in tax treatment of companies engaged in e-commerce may adversely affect the commercial use of our sites and our financial results.
 
Due to the global nature of the Internet, it is possible that various states might attempt to impose additional or new regulation on our business or levy
additional or new sales, income or other taxes relating to our activities. Tax authorities at the federal, state and local levels are currently reviewing the
appropriate treatment of companies engaged in e-commerce and digital services. New or revised international, federal, state or local tax regulations or court
decisions may subject us or our customers to additional sales, income and other taxes. For example, on June 21, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court rendered
a decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair Inc., where the Court held, among other things, that a state may require an out-of-state seller with no physical presence
in the state to collect and remit sales taxes on goods the seller ships to consumers in the state, overturning existing court precedent. Other new or revised
taxes and, in particular, digital taxes, sales taxes, VAT and similar taxes could increase the cost of doing business online and decrease the attractiveness of
selling products services over the Internet. New taxes and rulings could also create significant increases in internal costs necessary to capture data and collect
and remit taxes. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
 
Our revenue growth rate and financial performance in recent periods may not be indicative of future performance and such revenue growth rate or
growth in demand for our offerings may slow over time.
 
We have grown rapidly over the last several years, however our recent revenue growth rate and financial performance should not be considered
indicative of our future performance. Moreover, as our revenue has grown so have our cost and expenses, and, to date, we have never been cash flow
positive. Our growth trajectory may accelerate or decelerate as a results of numerous factors including market conditions, quality of managerial execution,
technological factors, insurance premium volatility and various other conditions that may affect performance.

If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
 
Our ability to manage our growth and business operations effectively and to integrate new employees, technologies and acquisitions into our
existing business will require us to continue to expand our operational and financial infrastructure and to continue to retain, attract, train, motivate and
manage employees. Continued growth could strain our ability to develop and improve our operational, financial and management controls, enhance our
reporting systems and procedures, recruit, train and retain highly skilled personnel and maintain user satisfaction. Additionally, if we do not effectively
manage the growth of our business and operations, the quality of our offerings could suffer and we would not fully realize economies of scale, which could
negatively affect our reputation and brand, business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Any actual or perceived security or privacy breach could interrupt our operations, harm our brand and adversely affect our reputation, brand, business,
financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our business involves the collection, storage, processing and transmission of our users’ personal data and other sensitive data. An increasing number
of organizations, including large online and off-line merchants and businesses, other large Internet companies, financial institutions and government
institutions, have disclosed breaches of their information security systems and other information security incidents, some of which have involved
sophisticated and highly targeted attacks. In addition, users on our platform could have vulnerabilities on their own mobile devices that are entirely unrelated
to our systems and platform, but could mistakenly attribute their own vulnerabilities to us. Further, breaches experienced by other companies may also be
leveraged against us. For example, credential stuffing attacks are becoming increasingly common and sophisticated actors can mask their attacks, making
them increasingly difficult to identify and prevent. Certain efforts may be state-sponsored or supported by significant financial and technological resources,
making them even more difficult to detect.
 
Changes in laws or regulations relating to privacy, data protection or the protection or transfer of personal data, or any actual or perceived failure by us
to comply with such laws and regulations or any other obligations relating to privacy, data protection or the protection or transfer of personal data, could
adversely affect our business.
 
We receive, transmit and store a large volume of personally identifiable information and other data relating to the users on our platform. Numerous
local, municipal, state, and federal laws and regulations address privacy, data protection and the collection, storing, sharing, use, disclosure and protection of
certain types of data, including the California Online Privacy Protection Act, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, the U.S.
Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, Section 5(c) of the Federal Trade Commission Act, the California Consumer
Privacy Act, or CCPA, and the California Privacy Rights Act, or CPRA, which becomes operative on January 1, 2023. These laws, rules and regulations
evolve frequently and their scope may continually change, through new legislation, amendments to existing legislation and changes in enforcement, and may
be inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another. For example, the CPRA will require new disclosures to California consumers and affords such consumers
new data rights and abilities to opt-out of certain sharing of personal information. The CPRA provides for fines of up to $7,500 per violation, which can be
applied on a per-consumer basis. Aspects of the CPRA and its interpretation and enforcement remain unclear. The effects of this legislation potentially are
far-reaching, however, and may require us to further modify our data processing practices and policies and incur additional compliance-related costs and
expenses. The CPRA and other changes in laws or regulations relating to privacy, data protection and information security, particularly any new or modified
laws or regulations that require enhanced protection of certain types of data or new obligations with regard to data retention, transfer or disclosure, could
greatly increase the cost of providing our offerings, require significant changes to our operations or even prevent us from providing certain offerings in
jurisdictions in which we currently operate and in which we may operate in the future.
 
Our business is heavily reliant upon information technology systems, some of which are managed, hosted, provided or used by third parties, including
cloud-based service providers, and any significant failures or disruptions to these systems could adversely impact our business.
 
Our ability to, among other things, operate our platform, process rental transactions, manage our pricing, account for our activities and otherwise
conduct our business is dependent on the performance and availability of our networks and systems, as well as those of third-party cloud providers. We have
experienced, and from time to time in the future may experience, a failure or interruption that results in the unavailability of certain information systems.
Additionally, our major information technology systems and accounting functions are centralized in a few locations. Any disruption, termination or
substandard provision of services, including by third-party cloud providers, whether as the result of localized conditions (e.g., fire, explosion or hacking),
failure of our systems to function as designed, or as the result of events or circumstances of broader geographic impact (e.g., earthquake, storm, flood,
epidemic, strike, act of war, civil unrest or terrorist act), could materially adversely affect our business by disrupting normal operations, customer service,
accounting and technology functions; interfering with our ability to manage vehicle supply; delaying or disrupting rental processes; and otherwise impacting
our ability to manage our business. These events could, individually or in the aggregate, lead to lower revenues, increased costs or other effects on our results
of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows, which may be material.
 
Operating as a public company requires us to incur substantial costs and requires substantial management attention. In addition, certain members of our
management team have limited experience managing a public company.
 
As a public company, we incur substantial legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. For example, we are
subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act, the rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of the Nasdaq Global Select Market. For example, the Exchange Act
requires, among other things, we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business, financial condition and results of operations. We are
also required to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. Compliance with these rules and
regulations has increased and will continue to increase our legal and financial compliance costs, and increase demand on our systems. In addition, as a public
company, we may be subject to stockholder activism, which can lead to additional substantial costs, distract management and impact the manner in which we
operate our business in ways we cannot currently anticipate. As a result of disclosure of information in filings required of a public company, our business and
financial condition is more visible than a private company, which may result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors.

We rely on third-party background check providers to screen potential drivers, and if such providers fail to provide accurate information, or if providers
are unable to complete background checks because of court closures or other unforeseen government shutdown, or we do not maintain business
relationships with them, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
 
We rely on third-party background check providers such as Checkr to screen the records of potential drivers to help identify those that are not
qualified to utilize our platform pursuant to applicable law or our internal standards. Our business has and may continue to be adversely affected to the extent
we cannot attract or retain qualified drivers as a result of such providers being unable to complete certain background checks, or to the extent that they do not
meet their contractual obligations, our expectations or the requirements of applicable law or regulations. If any of our third-party background check providers
terminates its relationship with us or refuses to renew its agreement with us on commercially reasonable terms, we may need to find an alternate provider,
and may not be able to secure similar terms or replace such partners in an acceptable time frame. If we cannot find alternate third-party background check
providers on terms acceptable to us, we may not be able to timely onboard potential drivers, and as a result, our platform may be less attractive to qualified
drivers. Further, if the background checks conducted by our third-party background check providers do not meet our expectations or the requirements under
applicable laws and regulations, unqualified drivers may be permitted to provide rides on our platform, and as a result, our reputation and brand could be
adversely affected and we could be subject to increased regulatory or litigation exposure.
 
We could be subject to claims from TNCs, delivery drivers or third parties that are harmed whether or not resulting from the use of our platform, which
could adversely affect our business, brand, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We may be subject to claims, lawsuits, investigations and other legal proceedings relating to injuries to, or deaths of, TNCs and delivery drivers or
third-parties, as applicable, that are attributed to us through our services. We may also be subject to claims alleging that we are directly or vicariously liable
for the acts of the drivers on our platform or for harm related to the actions of drivers, TNC riders, or third parties, or the management and safety of the
services offered through our platform. We may also be subject to personal injury claims whether or not such injury actually occurred as a result  any service
provided through our platform. For example, third parties have in the past asserted legal claims against us in connection with personal injuries related to the
actions of a driver or rider who may have previously utilized our platform, but, was not at the time of such injury. Regardless of the outcome of any legal
proceeding, any injuries to, or deaths of, any TNC riders, drivers or third parties could result in negative publicity and harm to our brand, reputation,
business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We may require additional capital, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.
 
We evaluate financing opportunities from time to time, and our ability to obtain financing will depend, among other things, on our development
efforts, business plans and operating performance and the condition of the capital markets at the time we seek financing. We cannot be certain that additional
financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we
require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited, and our business,
financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
 
We have had operating losses each year and quarterly period since our inception and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.
 
We have incurred operating losses each year and every quarterly period since inception. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, our
operating loss was $27,977,239 and $15,252,689 respectively. We expect our operating expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue in the future as we
curtail expenditures by optimizing our cost structure our G&A, sales and marketing, and research and development expenses. Our revenue growth may slow
or our revenue may decline for a number of other reasons, including reduced demand for our services, economic weakness, global macroeconomic shocks
such as the recent coronavirus outbreak, increased competition, a decrease in the growth or size of the ride-sharing or car-sharing market or any failure to
capitalize on growth opportunities. Any failure to increase our revenue as we grow our business could prevent us from achieving or maintaining profitability.
If we are unable to meet these risks and challenges as we encounter them, our business, financial condition and results of operations may suffer.

If we do not respond appropriately, the evolution of the automotive industry towards autonomous vehicles and mobility on demand services could
adversely affect our business. 
 
The automotive industry is increasingly focused on the development of advanced driver assistance technologies, with the goal of developing and
introducing a commercially viable, fully automated driving experience. The high development cost of active safety and autonomous driving technologies
may result in a higher risk of exposure to the success of new or disruptive technologies different than those being developed by us. There has also been an
increase in consumer preferences for mobility on demand services, such as car and ridesharing, as opposed to automobile ownership, which may result in a
long-term reduction in the number of vehicles per capita. These evolving areas have also attracted increased competition from entrants outside the traditional
automotive industry. If we do not continue to innovate to develop or acquire new and compelling products and service offerings that capitalize upon new
technologies in response to consumer preferences, this could have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
 
If we do not effectively expand and train our direct sales force, we may be unable to add new customers or increase sales to our existing customers, and
our business will be adversely affected.
 
We continue to be substantially dependent on our direct sales force to obtain new customers and increase sales with existing customers. There is
significant competition for sales personnel with the skills and technical knowledge that we require. Our ability to achieve significant revenue growth will
depend, in large part, on our success in recruiting, training and retaining sufficient numbers of sales personnel to support our growth. New hires require
significant training and may take significant time before they achieve full productivity. Our hires may not become productive as quickly as we expect, and we
may be unable to hire or retain sufficient numbers of qualified individuals in the markets where we do business or plan to do business. In addition, because
we continue to grow rapidly, a large percentage of our sales force is new to our company. If we are unable to hire and train a sufficient number of effective
sales personnel, or the sales personnel we hire are not successful in obtaining new customers or increasing revenue streams or sales to our existing customer
base, our business will be adversely affected.
 
Unfavorable global economic, business, or political conditions could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
Our results of operations could be adversely affected by general conditions in the global economy and in the global financial markets, including
conditions that are outside of our control, including the impact of health and safety concerns, such as those relating to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has at times caused extreme volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets. A severe or prolonged economic downturn
could result in a variety of risks to our business, including weakened demand for our platform and our ability to raise additional capital when needed on
acceptable terms, if at all. Any of the foregoing could harm our business and we cannot anticipate all the ways in which the current economic climate and
financial market conditions could adversely impact our business.
 
Our current relationships with rideshare (e.g. Uber and Lyft) and delivery companies (e.g. Doordash) could change in the future, which could adversely
affect our revenues.
 
Although we have deployed drivers and cars to the systems of Uber, Lyft and other platforms since our operations began in 2015, the current
relationships in place (written, oral or tacit), including our vehicle rental strategic partnership with Uber, could materially change in the future. Consequently,
each of these relationships could be discontinued at some time, which could adversely impact our business plan and results of operations materially.
 
The ride-sharing and delivery models may not continue to grow, which would adversely affect our business.
 
Our business and future growth is significantly dependent on the continued success of each of Uber, Lyft, Instacart and other software-based
systems that have come into the marketplace to compete with traditional taxicab transportation organizations and other delivery services.
 
While the effect of those companies has been to decrease the cost and therefore increase the utilization of ride-sharing and delivery services, there
can be no assurance that consumer utilization of these systems will continue to grow, or that competition and the resulting price pressure will not undermine
the viability of these types of systems, thereby adversely affecting our business.

Our unique peer to peer structure could be duplicated and our inability to accurately predict user behavior could negatively impact our sales business.
 
Although to date neither Uber nor Lyft have endeavored to develop a peer-to-peer system to match drivers and car owners as we are doing, there can
be no assurance that either one of these companies or other competitors subsequently entering the marketplace will not endeavor to do so, and there can be no
assurance that such competition will not have a negative impact on our business.
 
Furthermore, although several attempts to match up fleets of cars owned by operators with Uber and Lyft drivers have failed, there can be no
assurance that other entities will not enter the marketplace on this basis with economic and logistical models that solve the problems that caused this failure.
 
The market forecasts included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the markets in which we operate achieve
growth, we cannot assure you our business will grow at similar rates, if at all.
 
Growth forecasts are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates, which may not prove to be accurate. Forecasts
relating to the expected growth in the ride-sharing market, including the forecasts or projections referenced in this Annual Report, may prove to be
inaccurate. Even if the ride-sharing market experiences the forecasted growth, we may not grow our business at similar rates, or at all. Our growth is subject
to many factors, including our success in implementing our business strategy, which is subject to many risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, the forecasts of
market growth included in this Annual Report should not be taken as indicative of our future growth.
 
We rely on third-party insurance policies to insure against auto-related risks of users of our platform. If insurance coverage is insufficient for the needs
of our business or our insurance providers are unable to meet their obligations, we may not be able to mitigate the risks facing our business, which could
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We procure third-party insurance policies which provide coverage for both Owners and Drivers on our platform. If the amount of one or more auto-
related claims were to exceed our applicable aggregate coverage limits, we may bear the excess liability. Insurance providers have raised premiums and
deductibles for many businesses and may do so in the future. As a result, our insurance and claims expense could increase. Our business, financial condition
and results of operations could be adversely affected if (i) cost per claim, premiums or the number of claims significantly exceeds our historical experience
and coverage limits, (ii) we experience a claim in excess of coverage limits, (iii) our insurance providers fail to pay insurance claims, or (iv) we experience a
claim for which coverage is not provided.
 
We rely on third-party background check providers to screen potential drivers, and if such providers fail to provide accurate information, or if
providers are unable to complete background checks because of court closures or other unforeseen government shutdown, or we do not maintain business
relationships with them, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
 
We rely on third-party background check providers such as Checkr to screen the records of potential drivers to help identify those that are not
qualified to utilize our platform pursuant to applicable law or our internal standards. Our business has and may continue to be adversely affected to the extent
we cannot attract or retain qualified drivers as a result of such providers being unable to complete certain background checks, or to the extent that they do not
meet their contractual obligations, our expectations or the requirements of applicable law or regulations. If any of our third-party background check providers
terminates its relationship with us or refuses to renew its agreement with us on commercially reasonable terms, we may need to find an alternate provider,
and may not be able to secure similar terms or replace such partners in an acceptable time frame. If we cannot find alternate third-party background check
providers on terms acceptable to us, we may not be able to timely onboard potential drivers, and as a result, our platform may be less attractive to qualified
drivers. Further, if the background checks conducted by our third-party background check providers do not meet our expectations or the requirements under
applicable laws and regulations, unqualified drivers may be permitted to provide rides on our platform, and as a result, our reputation and brand could be
adversely affected and we could be subject to increased regulatory or litigation exposure.
 
We could be subject to claims from TNCs or delivery drivers or third parties that are harmed whether or not our platform is in use, which could
adversely affect our business, brand, financial condition and results of operations.
 
-13-

Table of Contents
 
We from time to time may be subject to claims, lawsuits, investigations and other legal proceedings relating to injuries to, or deaths of, TNC and
delivery drivers or third-parties, as applicable, that are attributed to us through our offerings. We may also be subject to claims alleging that we are directly or
vicariously liable for the acts of the drivers on our platform or for harm related to the actions of drivers, TNC riders, or third parties, or the management and
safety of our platform and our assets, including in light of the on-going COVID-19 pandemic and related public health measures issued by various
jurisdictions, including travel bans, restrictions, social distancing guidance, and shelter-in-place orders. We may also be subject to personal injury claims
whether or not such injury actually occurred as a result of activity on our platform. For example, third parties have in the past asserted legal claims against us
in connection with personal injuries related to the actions of a driver or rider who may have previously utilized our platform, but was not at the time of such
injury. Regardless of the outcome of any legal proceeding, any injuries to, or deaths of, any TNC riders, drivers or third parties could result in negative
publicity and harm to our brand, reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our actual losses may exceed our insurance reserves, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
 
We establish insurance reserves for claims incurred but not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported and any related estimable expenses, and
we periodically evaluate and, as necessary, adjust our insurance reserves as our experience develops or new information is learned. We employ various
predictive modeling actuarial techniques and make numerous assumptions based on limited historical experience and industry statistics to estimate our
insurance reserves. Estimating the frequency and severity of claims, as well as related judgment or settlement amounts, is inherently difficult, subjective, and
speculative. A number of external factors can affect the actual losses incurred for any given claim, including the length of time the claim remains open,
fluctuations in healthcare costs, legislative and regulatory developments, jurisdiction and judicial developments. Additionally, we may encounter in the
future, instances of insurance fraud, which could increase our actual insurance-related costs. For any of the foregoing reasons, our actual losses for claims
and related expenses may deviate, individually or in the aggregate, from the insurance reserves reflected in our consolidated financial statements. If we
determine that our estimated insurance reserves are inadequate, we may be required to increase such reserves at the time of the determination, which could
result in an increase to our net loss in the period in which the deficiency is determined and negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our operations are dependent on our current management. The loss of any member of our management team could adversely affect our operations and
financial results.
 
We are highly dependent upon the retention of the services of our current executive management team, specifically Joseph Furnari, Kenneth Grimes,
Serge De Bock and Brian Allan. The loss of any one of these individuals could adversely affect our operations and financial results. Our business also
depends on our ability to attract and retain additional highly qualified management, technical, operating, and sales and marketing personnel. We do not
currently maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our employees. We do not have fixed term employment agreements with any of our
management employees, all of whom could terminate their relationship with us at any time.
 
We face intense competition and could lose market share to our competitors, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
 
The market for ridesharing and car-sharing services is intensely competitive and characterized by rapid changes in technology, customer
requirements, industry standards and frequent new service introductions and improvements. We anticipate continued challenges from current competitors, as
well as by new entrants into the industry. If we are unable to anticipate or effectively react to these competitive challenges, our competitive position could
weaken, and we could experience a decline in our growth rate or revenue that could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
 
Any significant fluctuations in the supply of “rental” vehicles available in the market due to unexpected changes in demand, or actions taken by our
competitors, could negatively affect our pricing, operating plans or results of operations if we are unable to maintain or adjust the vehicles available on our
platform in response to fluctuations in supply and demand. We compete with traditional car rental companies and other traditional providers, as well as non-
traditional companies for vehicle rental market share, including auto manufacturers, ride-hailing and other car sharing companies, and other competitors in
the mobility industry. To the extent we do not react appropriately to our competition or optimize our revenue and pricing strategies, we may experience sub-
optimal pricing, sub-optimal asset utilization, poor customer satisfaction, lost revenue and other unfavorable consequences which may materially adversely
affect our revenues and results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

Our business is subject to a wide range of laws and regulations, many of which are evolving, and failure to comply with such laws and regulations
could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
          We are subject to a wide variety of laws in the United States and other jurisdictions. Laws, regulations and standards governing issues such as TNCs,
ridesharing, food and package delivery, worker classification, labor and employment, anti-discrimination, payments, gift cards, whistleblowing and worker
confidentiality obligations, product liability, defects, maintenance and repairs, personal injury, text messaging, subscription services, intellectual property,
consumer protection, taxation, privacy, data security, competition, unionizing and collective action, arbitration agreements and action waiver provisions,
terms of service, mobile application accessibility, autonomous vehicles, bike and scooter sharing, insurance, vehicle rentals, money transmittal, non-
emergency medical transportation, environmental health and safety, background checks, public health, anti-corruption, anti-bribery, and delivery of goods
including (but not limited to) medical supplies, perishable foods and prescription drugs are often complex and subject to varying interpretations, in many
cases due to their lack of specificity. As a result, their application in practice may change or develop over time through judicial decisions or as new guidance
or interpretations are provided by regulatory and governing bodies, such as federal, state and local administrative agencies.
         
Recent financial, political and other events have increased the level of regulatory scrutiny on larger companies, technology companies in general and
companies engaged in dealings with independent contractors, such as ridesharing and delivery companies. Regulatory bodies may enact new laws or
promulgate new regulations that are adverse to our business, or, due to changes in our operations and structure or partner relationships as a result of changes
in the market or otherwise, they may view matters or interpret laws and regulations differently than they have in the past or in a manner adverse to our
business. For example, Assembly Bill 5 (as codified in part at Cal. Labor Code sec. 2750.3) codified and extended an employment classification test in
Dynamex Operations West, Inc. v. Superior Court, which established a new standard for determining employee or independent contractor status. The passage
of this bill led to additional challenges to the independent contractor classification of drivers using the Lyft and Uber platforms. In November 2020,
California voters approved Proposition 22, a California state ballot initiative that provides a framework for drivers that use platforms like Uber and Lyft for
independent work. Proposition 22 went into effect in December 2020 and we expect that drivers will be able to maintain their status as independent
contractors under California law and that TNCs will be required to comply with the provisions of Proposition 22. Legal challenges to Proposition 22 have
been and may continue to be filed.
 
A security breach or other disruption to our information technology systems or our platform could result in the loss, theft, misuse, or unauthorized
disclosure of user or sensitive company information, could disrupt our operations, or could frustrate or thwart our users’ ability to access our products
and services, which could damage our relationships with users and partners, may cause our users and partners to cut back on or stop using our products
and services altogether, could expose us to litigation or regulatory proceedings, or harm to our reputation, any of which could seriously harm our
business.
 
Our business involves the storage and transmission of a significant amount of personal and/or confidential information, including the personal
information of our users, the personal information of our drivers and employees, information relating to user preferences, confidential information of our
partners, and our own proprietary financial, operational and strategic information. The protection of our information, as well as information relating to our
users, drivers, partners, and employees, is vitally important to us as the loss, theft, misuse, or unauthorized disclosure of such information could lead to
significant reputational or competitive harm, result in litigation involving us or our business partners, expose us to regulatory proceedings, and cause us to
incur substantial liability or expenses.
 
As has been well documented in the media, the frequency, intensity, and sophistication of cyber-attacks and data security incidents has significantly
increased in recent years. As with many businesses, we are subject to numerous data privacy and security risks, which may prevent us from maintaining the
privacy of personal, confidential, and sensitive information, result in the disruption of our business, and require us to expend significant resources attempting
to secure and protect such information and respond to incidents, any of which could seriously harm our business. Due to the increased risk of these types of
attacks and incidents, we expend significant resources on information technology and data security tools, measures, and processes designed to protect
personal, confidential or sensitive information and to ensure an effective response to any cyber-attack or data security incident. Whether or not these
measures are ultimately successful, the expenditures could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations and divert
management’s attention from pursuing our strategic objectives.

In addition, although we take the security of our information technology systems and platform seriously, our efforts to protect the personal and
confidential information of our users, drivers, partners, employees, and company may be unsuccessful due to the actions of third parties, malicious code,
software bugs, or other technical malfunctions. Despite our security efforts, because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to information
technology systems and our platform are constantly evolving and, in some cases, becoming more sophisticated and harder to detect, we may be unable to
anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventive measures in response, and cyber-attacks or data incidents could remain undetected for some
period, which could potentially result in greater harm to our systems, our platform, and the information stored and transmitted by our systems. In addition,
and despite our security efforts and training, our employees may also inadvertently or intentionally cause security incidents that could result in the
unauthorized disclosure of personal or confidential information, and third parties may attempt to fraudulently induce employees or users to disclose
information to gain access to our data or our users’ data. If any of these events occur, our confidential information or our users’ personal information could be
accessed, acquired, disclosed, or used without authorization, which could harm our relationships with users, put us at a competitive disadvantage, result in the
deterioration of our users’ confidence in us, cause our partners to reconsider their relationship with our company or impose more onerous contractual
provisions, and subject us to potential litigation, liability, fines, and penalties. For example, we could be subject to regulatory or other actions pursuant to
domestic privacy laws, including newer regulations such as the California Consumer Privacy Act. This could result in costly investigations and litigation,
civil or criminal penalties, operational changes, and negative publicity that could adversely affect our reputation.
 
Further, some of our partners may store personal or confidential information that we share with them. If these third parties fail to implement
adequate data-security practices or fail to comply with our terms and policies, our users’ data may be improperly accessed, acquired, or disclosed. And even
if these third parties take all these steps, their networks and information technology systems may still suffer a security breach, which could compromise our
users’ data or our company data. Any incidents where our users’ information or confidential company information is accessed without authorization,
improperly disclosed, or misused, or incidents that violate our terms of service or policies, could damage our reputation and our brand and diminish our
competitive position. Maintaining the trust of our users is important to sustain our growth, retention, and user engagement. Concerns over our privacy
practices, whether actual or unfounded, could damage our reputation and brand and deter users, advertisers, and partners from using our products and
services. Any of these occurrences could seriously harm our business.
 
We may fail to adequately respond to changes in technology, customer demands and market competition.
 
Our industry is characterized by rapid changes in technology innovation and deployment to address evolving customer demands, improve
operational efficiency and disrupt competitive dynamics. Our ability to continually improve our technology platform, processes and products in this
environment is essential to maintain a competitive position in customer satisfaction, market share and other areas. Due to natural complexity in technology
innovation, potentially high costs of certain initiatives, and hiring and retention challenges, we may experience technical or other difficulties that could delay
or prevent the development, introduction or marketing of new services or enhanced product offerings. These challenges related to emerging technology may
result in loss of competitive differentiation, margin deterioration, departure of key partners, declining market share, inability to achieve growth targets,
inefficient or outdated service delivery platforms, loss of customers and brand erosion, declining employee morale, inability to attract or retain key talent and
other unfavorable consequences which may materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.
 
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
 
The market price of our common stock may be volatile and adversely affected by several factors 
 
The market price of our common stock has experienced significant fluctuations, and may continue to experience such fluctuations due to many factors, some
of which are beyond our control, including:
 
 
● 
our ability to execute our business plan;
 
● 
operating results below expectations;
 
● 
announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors;    
 
● 
other external factors, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, legislative developments and car supply market conditions;
 
●
our ability to enter into and maintain strategic relationship to grow demand for our services;
 
● 
our issuance of additional securities, including debt or equity or a combination thereof; and
 
● 
period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.
 
In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating
performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

We may acquire other companies, assets or technologies, which could divert our management’s attention, result in dilution to our stockholders and
otherwise disrupt our operations and adversely affect our operating results.
 
We may in the future seek to acquire or invest in businesses, applications and services or technologies that we believe could complement or expand
our services, enhance our technical capabilities or otherwise offer growth opportunities. The pursuit of potential acquisitions may divert the attention of
management and cause us to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating and pursuing suitable acquisitions, whether or not they are consummated.
 
In addition, we do not have any experience in acquiring other businesses. If we acquire additional businesses, we may not be able to integrate the
acquired personnel, operations and technologies successfully, or effectively manage the combined business following the acquisition. We also may not
achieve the anticipated benefits from the acquired business due to a number of factors, including:
 
 
● 
inability to integrate or benefit from acquired technologies or services in a profitable manner;
 
 
 
 
● 
unanticipated costs or liabilities associated with the acquisition;
 
 
 
 
● 
difficulty integrating the accounting systems, operations and personnel of the acquired business;
 
 
 
 
● 
difficulties and additional expenses associated with supporting legacy products and hosting infrastructure of the acquired business;
 
 
 
 
● 
difficulty converting the customers of the acquired business onto our platform and contract terms, including disparities in the revenue, licensing,
support or professional services model of the acquired company;
 
 
 
 
● 
diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;
 
 
 
 
● 
adverse effects to our existing business relationships with business partners and customers as a result of the acquisition;
 
 
 
 
● 
the potential loss of key employees;
 
 
 
 
● 
use of resources that are needed in other parts of our business; and
 
 
 
 
● 
use of substantial portions of our available cash to consummate the acquisition.
 
In addition, a significant portion of the purchase price of companies we acquire may be allocated to acquired goodwill and other intangible assets,
which must be assessed for impairment at least annually. In the future, if our acquisitions do not yield expected returns, we may be required to take charges to
our operating results based on this impairment assessment process, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
 
Acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which could adversely affect our operating results.
In addition, if an acquired business fails to meet our expectations, our operating results, business and financial position may suffer.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports, or publish unfavorable research or reports about our business, our stock price and
trading volume may decline.
 
The trading market for our common stock will rely in part on the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us, our
business, our markets and our competitors. We do not control these analysts. If securities analysts do not cover our common stock, the lack of research
coverage may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Furthermore, if one or more of the analysts who do cover us downgrade our stock or if
those analysts issue other unfavorable commentary about us or our business, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease
coverage of us or fails to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the market and interest in our stock could decrease, which in turn could
cause our stock price or trading volume to decline and may also impair our ability to expand our business with existing customers and attract new customers.
 
Future sales and issuances of our securities could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause our
share price to fall.
 
We expect that additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations, including research and development, increased
marketing, hiring new personnel, efforts to expand our business, and continuing activities as an operating public company. To the extent we raise additional
capital by issuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell common stock, convertible securities or other equity
securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell common stock, convertible securities or other
equity securities in more than one transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our
existing shareholders, and new investors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.
 
We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our shares of common stock so any returns will be limited to the value of our shares.
 
We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate
declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return to shareholders will therefore be limited to the increase, if any, of our share
price.
 
We are an “emerging growth company” and will be able to avail ourselves of reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies,
which could make our common stock less attractive to investors.
 
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and we intend to take
advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth
companies” including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure
obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding
advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In addition, pursuant to
Section 107 of the JOBS Act, as an “emerging growth company” we intend to take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B)
of the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of
certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock
less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active
trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer
an “emerging growth company.” We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total
annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of our initial
public offering; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which
we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC.
 
We may be at risk of securities class action litigation.
 
We may be at risk of securities class action litigation. For example, during our 2021 fiscal year, a class-action case was filed against the Company
and certain of its current or former officers. In the past, technology companies have experienced significant stock price volatility. If we face additional
litigation and if a case is not resolved in a manner favorable to the Company, it would likely result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s
attention and resources, which could harm our business and results in a decline in the market price of our common stock.

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware could make an acquisition of the
company more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our management.
 
Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our bylaws may delay or prevent an acquisition of us or a change in our
management. These provisions include a classified board of directors, a prohibition on actions by written consent of our stockholders, and the ability of the
board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval. In addition, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the
provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, which prohibits stockholders owning in excess of 15% of the outstanding
combined organization voting stock from merging or combining with the combined organization. Although we believe these provisions collectively will
provide for an opportunity to receive higher bids by requiring potential acquirers to negotiate with our board of directors, they would apply even if the offer
may be considered beneficial by some stockholders. In addition, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or
remove then-current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of the board of directors, which is responsible for
appointing the members of management.
 
Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of us and may affect the trading price of our
common stock.
 
Our corporate documents and the DGCL contain provisions that may enable our board of directors to resist a change in control of the Company even
if a change in control were to be considered favorable by our stockholders. These provisions:
 
 
● 
stagger the terms of our board of directors and require 66 and 2/3% stockholder voting to remove directors, who may only be removed for
cause;
 
 
 
 
● 
authorize our board of directors to issue “blank check” preferred stock and to determine the rights and preferences of those shares, which may
be senior to our common stock, without prior stockholder approval;
 
 
 
 
● 
establish advance notice requirements for nominating directors and proposing matters to be voted on by stockholders at stockholders’ meetings;
 
 
 
 
● 
prohibit our stockholders from calling a special meeting and prohibit stockholders from acting by written consent;
 
 
 
 
● 
require 66 and 2/3% stockholder voting to effect certain amendments to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws; and
 
 
 
 
● 
prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates.
 
These provisions could discourage, delay or prevent a transaction involving a change in control of us. These provisions could also discourage proxy
contests and make it more difficult for stockholders to elect directors of their choosing and cause us to take other corporate actions our stockholders desire.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for
certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable
judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents.
 
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of
the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, any action asserting a claim of
breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees or agents to us or our stockholders, any action asserting a claim arising pursuant
to any provision of the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws or any action asserting a claim that
is governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each case subject to the Court of Chancery having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as
defendants therein and the claim not being one which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery or for which
the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction. Any person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of our common
stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to this provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. This choice of forum
provision may limit our stockholders’ ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers,
employees or agents, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, employees and agents even though an action, if successful,
might benefit our stockholders. Stockholders who do bring a claim in the Court of Chancery could face additional litigation costs in pursuing any such claim,
particularly if they do not reside in or near Delaware. The Court of Chancery may also reach different judgments or results than would other courts, including
courts where a stockholder considering an action may be located or would otherwise choose to bring the action, and such judgments or results may be more
favorable to us than to our stockholders. Alternatively, if a court were to find this provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with
resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
 
None.
 
Item 2. Properties
 
Our corporate headquarters are located in Los Angeles, California and our current lease for this office space extends through September 30, 2025.
We believe that our existing facilities are suitable and adequate to meet our current needs. We intend to add new facilities or expand existing facilities as we

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
 
Except as may be set forth below, we are not a party to any legal proceedings, and we are not aware of any claims or actions pending or threatened
against us. In the future, we might from time to time become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from our ordinary course of business, the
resolution of which we do not anticipate would have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
On August 27, 2021, a putative securities class action complaint captioned Baron v. Hyrecar Inc. et al., Case No. 21-cv-06918, was filed in the
United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Company; its Chief Executive Officer, Joseph Furnari; and its former Chief
Financial Officer, Robert Scott Brogi. This action asserts claims and seeks damages for alleged violations of sections 10(b) and 20(a) of securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The alleged period is May 14, 2021 to August 10, 2021, inclusive. Pursuant to the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act, on November 19, 202 1, the Court appointed Turton Inc. to serve as Lead Plaintiff filed an amended complaint (the “First Amended
Complaint”). The First Amended Complaint alleges that defendants made material misrepresentations or failed to disclose material facts that: (1) the
Company had materially understated its expenses and insurance reserves; (2) the Company employed a third-party adjuster to process a portion of insurance
claims covered by self-insurance that was conflicted because it was owned by David Haley who owned HyreCar’s previous insurance broker and had a
relationship with Company; (3) the Company engaged in a scheme to delay payment of claims processed by the third-party adjuster; (4) the Company did not
properly account for claims processed by this third-party adjuster in its financial statements; (5) the Company misrepresented the process for setting
insurance reserves; and (6) as a result, the Company understated its expenses and insurance reserves and overstated its business prospects and opportunities.
On December 27, 2021, the Company and the individual defendants moved to dismiss the First Amended Complaint on behalf of defendants, arguing that
Lead Plaintiff failed to adequately plead that any of the Company’s public statements were materially false or misleading, or that defendants acted with
scienter– meaning defendants either knew those statements were false or were deliberately reckless to their truth or falsity at the time they were made. Lead
Plaintiff filed an opposition on January 10, 2022 and the Defendants filed a reply on January 18, 2022. On February 16, 2022, the Court granted defendants’
motion to dismiss on the basis that Lead Plaintiff failed to adequately plead any of defendants’ statements were materially false or misleading. Because the
Court ruled that Plaintiff did not sufficiently plead falsity, the Court did not address the additional arguments regarding scienter at the time. The Court
permitted Lead Plaintiff leave to amend its complaint. The next amended complaint, if any, must be filed no later than March 21, 2022. Should Lead Plaintiff
file another amended complaint, the Company and individual defendants anticipate filing another motion to dismiss the claims. The Company believes that
the allegations in this lawsuit are without merit and will continue to vigorously defend against them.
 
At this time we are unable to form a judgment, within the meaning and in accordance with the standards set forth in the ABA Statement of Policy, as
to whether an ultimate outcome unfavorable to the Company in the matter or matters described above is either “probable” or “remote.” At this time we also
are unable to give an estimate, within the meaning and in accordance with the standards set forth in the ABA Statement of Policy, of the amount or range of
potential loss, if any, which might result to the Company if the outcome in the matter or matters described above were unfavorable.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our audited consolidated
financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Some of the information
contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Annual Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our
business, include forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review “Risk Factors” for a discussion of important factors that
could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following
discussion and analysis.
 
Our Company
We operate in the car sharing marketplace primarily for ride sharing and delivery services through our proprietary platform. The Company has established a
leading presence in Transportation as a Service “TaaS” through vehicle owners and institutions, such as franchise car dealerships, independent car dealerships
and rental car companies, who have been disrupted by automotive asset sharing. We are based in Los Angeles, California and car owners and drivers can
currently use the platform nationwide. Our unique revenue opportunity for both owners (“Owners”) and drivers (“Drivers”) are providing a flexible, secure
and reliable marketplace. We categorize our operations into one reportable business segment: Rental, consisting primarily of our vehicle rental operations in
the United States.
 
Business and Trends
 
We generate revenue by taking a fee out of each rental processed on our platform. Each rental transaction represents a Driver renting a car from an
Owner. Drivers pay a daily rental rate set by the Car Owner, plus a 10% - 20% HyreCar Driver Fee and direct daily insurance costs. Owners receive their
daily rental rate minus a 15% - 30% HyreCar Owner Fee. The net revenue is currently approximately $30 per rental day to HyreCar. We have expanded the
rental days serviced by our platform at an annual growth rate of approximately 27% to more than 1,286,000 rental days in 2021 as displayed below:

Gross billings are an important measure by which we evaluate and manage our business. We define gross billings as the amount billed to Drivers,
without any adjustments for amounts paid to Owners, refunds or rebates. Gross billings include transactions from both our revenues recorded on a net and a
gross basis. It is important to note that gross billings is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and as such, is not recorded in our consolidated financial statements as
revenue. However, we use gross billings to assess our business growth, scale of operations and our ability to generate gross billings is strongly correlated to
our ability to generate revenue. Gross billings may also be used to calculate net revenue margin, defined as the Company’s U.S. GAAP reportable revenue
over gross billings. Using the definition of net revenue margin, HyreCar’s net revenue margin has increased to approximately 49% ($35,716,031 HyreCar’s
2021 U.S. GAAP revenue over $73,344,808 total gross billings).
 
Our operating results are subject to variability due to seasonality, macroeconomic conditions such as the on-going COVID-19 pandemic and other
factors. Car rental volumes tend to be associated with travel and driving holidays, where there is an influx of Uber and Lyft demand. In 2021, we continued to
operate in an uncertain and uneven economic environment marked by heightened economic and geopolitical risks due to the COVID-19 situation and capital
markets uncertainty.
 
Our objective is to focus on strategically accelerating our growth, strengthening our position as a leading provider of vehicle rental services to
ridesharing (Lyft and Uber) and delivery (such as Door Dash, Instacart or Amazon Flex) drivers, continuing to enhance our customers’ rental experience, and
controlling costs and driving efficiency throughout the organization. We operate in a high growth industry and we expect to continue to face challenges and
risks. We seek to mitigate our exposure to risks in numerous ways, including delivering upon our core strategic initiatives, continued growth of fleet levels to
match changes in demand for vehicle rentals, and appropriate investments in technology.
 
Significant changes in our results of operations for the full fiscal year 2021 include:
 
 
● 
Net rental days totaled approximately 1,286,000 rental days for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of approximately 272,000 rental
days or 26.8% over the 1,014,000 rental days recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020, as the Company continued to expand its
presence in key markets including Georgia, California, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas and Maryland, despite the constrained car supply
market.
 
 
●
Net revenue totaled $35,716,031 for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $10,484,290 or 41.5% over the $25,231,741 recognized
during the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily resulting from a combination of higher net rental days year over year and pricing
favorability including price/risk optimization and a favorable market trend in daily rental fees reflecting a tight market for car supply. The
average daily net rental revenue peaked at $30 in the fourth quarter of 2021 from $24 in the fourth quarter of 2020.
 
 
●   Cost of Sales totaled $25,942,684 for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $8,981,234 or 52.9% over $16,961,450 recognized
during the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was attributable to a combination of three factors. First the expanded rental day volume
drove increase in related premiums and claims. Second, our transition to a new claims processing partner in March of 2021 led to an increase in
claims payouts that we rightsized since then and some transition costs. Third, we recorded about $1.0 million in new one-off developments
related to settling claims incurred prior to January 1, 2021 under our previous insurance claims processing partner in the second quarter of 2021
as we liquidated their claims portfolio.
 
 
● 
Gross profit totaled $9,773,347 for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $1,503,056 or 18.2% over the $8,270,291 recognized
during the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in  gross profit was primarily attributed to higher rental days, and favorable
pricing, partially offset by higher insurance and claims-related costs described above.
 
 
● 
Operating expenses, consisting of general and administrative, sales and marketing, and research and development expenses totaled
$37,750,586 for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $14,227,606 or 60.5% over $23,522,980 recognized during the year ended
December 31, 2020. These additional operating expenses, including additional stock-based compensation, were incurred to enable and support
growth and scale across all functional areas. These expenses included costs incurred for the enhancement of the technology platform, on-going
efforts at stimulating demand and visibility through marketing, as well as growing our customer support/sales organization.
 
 
● 
Net loss totaled $25,953,717 for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $10,732,816 or 70.5% over $15,220,901 recognized during
the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in net loss was driven by higher operating costs and non-cash stock-based compensation
expense recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021, as the Company prepared the platform for accelerated growth.
 
 
● 
Adjusted EBITDA totaled ($19,278,849) or the year ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $8,263,655 or 75% from ($11,015,194)
recognized for the prior year ended December 31, 2020.

Management’s Plan
 
We have incurred operating losses since inception and historically relied on debt and equity financing for working capital. Going forward the
Company intends to fund its operations through increased revenue from operations and funds raised through public securities offerings. On February 9, 2021,
the Company completed a underwritten public offering of an aggregate of 2,530,000 million shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $11.75
per share for gross proceeds of approximately $29.7 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses,
which includes the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase 330,000 additional shares.
 
With approximately 323,000 quarterly rental days in the fourth quarter of 2021, our annualized rental day run rate has reached over 1,300,000 per
year. Our business model and platform allow us to potentially leverage new opportunities and create a larger market with ridesharing, food and package
delivery services. Two thirds of the Drivers on our platform are now predominantly delivery oriented and the opportunity is accelerating in the local delivery
as a service environment. We continue to expect revenue growth in 2022 and beyond as we continue to focus on increasing our car supply to meet the driver
demand and other promotional efforts related to our car sharing marketplace platform. Specifically, the Company's strategic partnership with AmeriDrive
Holdings is intended to create a national network of vehicle supply and fleet maintenance operations and is expanding our operations in the Southeast United
States initially and beyond.
 
On February 10, 2021, TrueCar announced a partnership with HyreCar to provide its car sharing marketplace with a
modern digital car buying and trade-in solution. The TrueCar partnership offers a potential way to address the automobile trade-in
market in a relevant and effective manner for dealers and customers. TrueCar helps create awareness that vehicle dealers can
benefit from serving the TaaS industry via the Company's platform. We believe both the AmeriDrive and TrueCar relationships
enhance our ability to increase revenue.
 
Based on generally increasing revenue through the normal course of business and a high relative amount of variable costs, cash on hand
and available capital funding opportunities including through an At-The-Market program we put in place in November 2021, we believe the Company will
have sufficient resources and sources of funds to continue to operate its business for the next 12 months and beyond.
 
Below is our nationwide footprint with volumes of quarterly rental days and net revenue from the quarters ended December 31, 2019 through
December 31, 2021.

Components of Our Results of Operations
 
The following describes the various components that make up our results of operations, discussed below:
 
Revenue is earned from fees associated with matching Drivers to Owners of cars that meet the strict requirements imposed by ride-sharing services
such as Uber and Lyft with Drivers. A Driver will typically rent a car through one transaction via our on-line marketplace. We recognize GAAP reportable
revenue primarily from a transaction fee and an insurance fee when a car is rented on our platform when the Company 1) identifies the contract with the
customer 2) identifies the performance obligations in the contract 3) determines the transaction price, 4) determines if an allocation of that transaction price is
required to the performance obligations in the contract, and 5) recognizes revenue when or as the companies satisfies a performance obligation.
 
Cost of revenue primarily include direct fees paid for driver insurance, insurance claim payments based on the policy in effect at the time of loss,
merchant processing fees, and technology and hosting costs.
 
General and administrative costs include all corporate and administrative functions that support our business. These costs also include payroll for
officers and operational staff, stock-based compensation expense, consulting costs, professional fees, and other costs that are not included in cost of revenues.
Research and development costs are related to activities such as user experience and user interface development, database development and maintenance, and
technology related expenses to research, improve, implement, or maintain technology and systems utilized throughout our enterprise. Research and
development costs are mostly expensed as incurred with a minor portion capitalized as internally-developed software. Sales and marketing expenses
primarily consist of personnel-related compensation costs, commissions expenses, advertising expenses, and marketing partnerships with third parties. Sales
and marketing costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Other income/expense includes non-operating income and expenses including interest income and expense.

Loss from Operations. Loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $27,977,239 as compared to a loss from operations of
$15,252,689 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in loss from operations was driven by the higher operating costs and non-cash stock-based
compensation expense described above, partially offset by the higher net revenue recognized during the year.
 
Other (Income) Expense. Other (income) expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 totaled $2,024,048 in net other income, an increase of
$1,991,460 over $32,588 of net other income for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was due to forgiveness of the Paycheck Protection
Program loan that was received in 2020 for about $1,995,000. The loan was formally forgiven in full in October 2021.
 
Net Loss. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $25,953,717 as compared to a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 of
$15,220,901. The increase in net loss was primarily driven by the higher operating costs and non-cash stock-based compensation expense described above,
partially offset by the higher net revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021.
 
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
Gross Billings
 
We believe gross billings is an important measure by which we evaluate and manage our business. We define gross billings as the amount billed to
Drivers, without any adjustments for amounts paid to Owners or refunds. Gross billings include transactions from both our revenues recorded on a net and a
gross basis. It is important to note that gross billings is a non-GAAP measure and as such, is not recorded in our consolidated financial statements as revenue.
However, we use gross billings to assess our business growth, scale of operations and our ability to generate gross billings is strongly correlated to our ability
to generate revenues. Gross billings may also be used to calculate net revenue margin, defined as the company’s GAAP reportable revenue over gross
billings.
 
The table below sets forth a reconciliation of our GAAP reported revenues to gross billings for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

Adjusted EBITDA
 
Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess our operating performance and the operating leverage in our
business. Because Adjusted EBITDA facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use
this measure for business planning purposes. We expect Adjusted EBITDA will increase over the long term as we continue to scale our business and achieve
greater efficiencies in our operating expenses.
 
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, adjusted to exclude:
 
 
● 
other income (expense), net;
 
 
● 
provision for income taxes;
 
 
● 
depreciation and amortization;

For more information regarding the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA, see the section titled
“Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
 
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
We use Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with GAAP measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of
our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, and to communicate with our board of directors
concerning our financial performance. Our definitions may differ from the definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.
In addition, other companies may not publish these or similar metrics. Furthermore, these measures have certain limitations in that they do not include the
impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our consolidated statements of operations that are necessary to run our business. Thus, our Adjusted EBITDA
should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
 
We compensate for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the related GAAP financial measures, revenue and net
loss, respectively. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to
view Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with their respective related GAAP financial measures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of December 31, 2021, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $11,499,136 compared to $4,923,515 as of December
31, 2020. Cash and cash equivalents consisted of money market deposit accounts denominated in U.S. dollars. We also had additional Restricted Cash
balances of $3,248,271 as of December 31, 2021 which relates to amounts held in a restricted bank account at Cogent Bank as collateral for the amount
pledged by the Company to secure a revolving line of credit made by Cogent Bank to AmeriDrive, as well as escrow accounts held for our insurance claims
processing partner to pay out claims. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash altogether totaled $14,747,407 as of December 31, 2021.
 
In July 2019, we received net proceeds of $11,321,250 upon the completion of our secondary public offering. Further, in February 2021, we
received net proceeds of $27.6 million upon the completion an underwritten public offering of an aggregate of 2,530,000 million shares of common stock at a
public offering price of $11.75 per share, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.
 
On November 9, 2021, the Company entered into an Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”), with D.A. Davidson & Co. and
Northland Securities, Inc. (collectively, the “Agents"), pursuant to which the Agents act as the Company’s sales agent with respect to the offer and sale from
time to time of common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $50.0 million in “at-the market-offerings.” We did not effect any sales of shares
under the ATM program in 2021, however, can utilize the program if the need arises.
 
We have primarily financed our operations through our IPO and subsequent public offerings, and proceeds of the loan received in 2020 under the
Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, in addition to revenue received through our
platform. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalent assets, together with proceeds from revenue generating activities and access to liquidity through
our ATM program will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditures needs over at least the next 12 months more fully described in
“Management's Plan” above.
 
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to our growth, our ability to attract and retain drivers and car
owners on our platform, the continuing market acceptance of our offerings, the timing and extent of spending to support our efforts to improve our customer
experience, actual insurance payments for which we have made reserves, the timing and extent of investment we are making in policy, government relations,
and the expansion of sales and marketing activities. Further, we may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in businesses, products,
services and technologies. We may decide to, or be required to, seek additional equity or debt financing for any of these reasons, or others that may arise. If
we are unable to raise additional capital in the future, we may need to curtail expenditures by scaling back certain sales, marketing and
development expenses.
 
 
Cash Flows
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $17,709,179 for the year ended December 31, 2021. This consisted primarily of a net loss of $25,953,717,
offset by non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $8,176,941 largely driven by the recognition of costs related to stock options, RSUs, and shares
issued for services. Additionally, there was an increase in accounts payable of $2,452,596, in insurance reserves of $217,151, and in other current assets of
$219,534 coupled with a decrease in premium insurance deposits of $654,454. These positive operating cash flows were offset by a decrease in accrued
liabilities of ($1,481,910). Overall, we improved working capital management in 2021 and reduced the cash impact of increasing net losses.
 
Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 resulted in cash outflows of $7,804,704. This consisted primarily of a
net loss of $15,220,901 offset by non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $3,303,211 largely driven by the recognition of costs related to stock
options, RSUs, and shares issued for services. Additionally, there was an increase in accrued liabilities of $3,550,163, and insurance reserves of $780,147,
offset by insurance deposits of ($749,454). The increase in accrued liabilities was primarily driven by increases in insurance premium accruals due to
increased revenue activity and a revised contract that allowed deferral of payment for approximately six months.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $366,435 for the year ended December 31, 2021, which primarily consists of the capitalization of internally
developed software.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $2,247 for the year ended December 31, 2020, which primarily consists of equipment purchases.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $27,899,506 for the year ended December 31, 2021, which primarily consists of the February 2021
equity offering which provided approximately $27.6 million in net proceeds to the Company.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,073,326 for the year ended December 31, 2020, which primarily consists of net proceeds received
from the PPP loan.

Capital Management
 
We aim to manage capital so that we will maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. We also aim to maintain a
capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the Company. We regularly review the Company’s capital structure and seek to take
advantage of available opportunities to improve outcomes for the Company and its shareholders.
 
For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no dividends paid and we have no plans to commence the payment of dividends. We
have no current plans to issue further shares on the market but will continue to assess market conditions and the Company’s cash flow requirements in an
effort to ensure the Company is appropriately funded.
 
There is no significant external borrowing at the reporting date. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirement.
 
Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could materially differ from these estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.
 
The Company’s most significant estimates and judgments involve recognition of revenue and estimates for future contingent customer incentive
obligations, calculating insurance reserves, and the measurement of the Company’s stock-based compensation. 
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for stock awards issued under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under ASC 718, share-based compensation
cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award. Stock-based compensation is recognized as expense over the employee’s
requisite vesting period and over the nonemployee’s period of providing goods or services. The fair value of each stock option or warrant award is estimated
on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Restricted shares are measured based on the fair market value of the underlying stock on
the grant date.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company generates the majority of its revenue from its car-sharing marketplace that connects vehicle owners and drivers and the related
insurance issued for each rental.  Vehicle owners and drivers enter into terms of service with the Company in order to use the HyreCar platform and enter into
a rental contract that governs each rental.  In entering into a rental agreement, the driver is charged in a single transaction: the base rental fee as agreed upon
between the driver and vehicle owner, a 10-20% HyreCar fee on the base rental fee, and a daily insurance charge (“Insurance and administrative fees”), all
based on the number of days the vehicle is to be rented within the contract.  HyreCar retains 15-30% of the base rental fee and remits the remaining portion
to the vehicle owner. The 10-20% fee collected from the driver, and 15-30% retained from the owner are considered “Transaction Fees” and the recorded on
a net basis as described below.  The Company recognizes revenue daily during the rental periods as the Company is required to maintain insurance
underlying the transaction and as a customary business practice, a driver can return a vehicle early for a refund of the unused rental period. Insurance and
transaction fees are charged to a driver in a single transaction. Drivers currently do not have an option to decline insurance at any point during the
transaction.
 
The Company also recognizes revenue from other sources such as referrals, motor vehicle record fees (application fees), late rental fees, and other
fees charged to drivers in specific situations.
 
In applying the guidance of ASC 606, the Company 1) identifies the contract with the customer 2) identifies the performance obligations in the
contract 3) determines the transaction price 4) determines if an allocation of that transaction price is required to the performance obligations in the
contract and 5) recognizes revenue when or as the companies satisfies a performance obligation.

Table of Contents
 
Refunds may occur when the driver returns the owner vehicle early based on the terms of the original contract or cancels the rental prior to
completing the exchange. In limited circumstances, the Company provides contingent consideration in the form of a rebate that is redeemable only if the
customer completes a specific level of transaction over a specific time period. In such cases, the rebate or refund obligation is recognized as a reduction of
revenues. The Company defers revenue in all instances when the earnings process is not yet complete.
 
The following is a breakout of revenue components by subcategory for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Principal Agent Considerations
 
The Company evaluates our service offerings to determine if we are acting as the principal or as an agent, which we consider in determining if
revenue should be reported gross or net. One of our primary revenue sources is a transaction fee made from a confirmed booking of a vehicle on our
platform. Key indicators that we evaluate to reach this determination include:
 
 
● 
the terms and conditions of our contracts;
 
 
● 
whether we are paid a fixed percentage of the arrangement’s consideration or a fixed fee for each transaction;
 
 
● 
the party which sets the pricing with the end-user, has the credit risk and provides customer support; and
 
 
● 
the party responsible for delivery/fulfillment of the product or service to the end consumer.
 
We have determined that we act as the agent in the transaction for vehicle bookings, as we are not the primarily obligor of the arrangement and
receive a fixed percentage of the transaction. Therefore, revenue is recognized on a net basis.
 
For other fees such as insurance, referrals, motor vehicle records (application fees), and dealer subscription we have determined revenue should be
recorded on a gross basis. In such arrangements, the Company sets pricing, has risk of economic loss, has certain credit risk, provides support services related
to these transactions, and has decision making ability about service providers used .
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company applies ASC 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”).  Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of
differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their consolidated financial statements reported amounts at each period end, based on enacted
tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established,
when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period,
if any, and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has established a full allowance
against all deferred tax assets.
 
ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions.  A tax benefit from an
uncertain position is recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable upon examination by the relevant taxing authority based on
its technical merit.

Internal Use Software
 
We incur software development costs to develop software programs to be used solely to meet our internal needs and cloud-based applications used
to deliver our services. In accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software, we capitalize development costs related to these software applications once
the preliminary project stage is complete and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended.
 
Insurance Reserve 
 
The Company records a loss reserve for physical damage and other liability coverage caused to owner vehicles up to the Company's insurance
deductibles. This reserve represents an estimate for both reported accidents claims not yet paid, and claims incurred but not yet reported and are recorded on
a non-discounted basis. The lag time in reported physical damage claims is minimal and as such represents a low risk of unreported claims being excluded
from the loss reserve assessment. The adequacy of the reserve is monitored quarterly and is subject to adjustment in the future based upon changes in claims
experience, including the number of incidents for which the Company is ultimately responsible and changes in the cost per claim, or changes to the
Company’s policy as to what amounts of the deductible or claim will be paid by the Company.
 
While certain liability insurance claims may take several years to completely settle, the Company's liability exposure limit is generally met in the
near term. Due to our limited operational history, the Company makes certain assumptions based on both currently available information to estimate the
insurance reserves as well as third party claims adjuster data provided on existing claims. A number of factors can affect the actual cost of a claim, including
the length of time the claim remains open, economic and healthcare cost trends and the results of related litigation. Furthermore, claims may emerge in future
periods for events that occurred in a prior period that differs from expectations. Accordingly, actual losses may vary significantly from the estimated amounts
reported in the consolidated financial statements. Reserves are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as necessary as experience develops or new information
becomes known. However, ultimate results may differ from the Company’s estimates, which could result in losses over the Company’s reserved amounts.
Such adjustments are recorded in costs of revenue.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements (as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC) that have or are reasonably likely to have a current
or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources that is material investors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of HyreCar Inc.
 
Opinion on the Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HyreCar Inc. and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively
referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 
 
Basis for Opinion
 
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required
to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
 
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud,
and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures
in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

HYRECAR INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
HyreCar Inc. (which may be referred to as “HyreCar,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was incorporated on November 24, 2014 (“Inception”) in the
State of Delaware. The Company’s headquarters is located in Los Angeles, California.  The Company operates a web-based marketplace that allows car and
fleet owners to rent their cars to Uber, Lyft and other gig economy service drivers safely, securely and reliably. The consolidated financial statements of
HyreCar Inc. are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
 
Strategic Partnership, 2021 Public Offering, Uber Agreement and At The Market Facility
 
On January 28, 2021, the Company announced a new and expanded strategic partnership with AmeriDrive Holdings (“ AmeriDrive”) intended to create a
national network of vehicle supply and fleet maintenance operations. In connection therewith, the Company entered into a Collateral Pledge Agreement (“
Agreement”) with Cogent Bank assigning all right, title and interest in a Company deposit account of $750,000 plus 5% fees to secure a revolving line of
credit made by the bank to AmeriDrive. The restricted deposit account was expanded to a $1,500,000 pledge during the quarter ended September 30, 2021
resulting from a greater revolving line of credit for AmeriDrive under the same terms. Further on November 4, 2021, the Company expanded its partnership
with Cogent and AmeriDrive in an effort to help drive additional car supply to the Company’s platform. As part of the agreement, the Company agreed to
increase the collateral held by Cogent bank by $1,500,000 (now $3,000,000 in total) in exchange for a credit line increase to expand AmeriDrive's vehicle
fleet contributed exclusively to the Company platform.
 
On February 4, 2021, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC and Northland Securities, Inc., as
representatives of the several underwriters, in connection with the public offering (the “2021 offering”) of a total of 2,530,000 shares of Company common
stock. The initial closing of the offering occurred on February 8, 2021. The net proceeds to the Company from the 2021 offering was approximately $27.6
million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company.
 
On May 20, 2021, the Company renewed its Automobile Liability Insurance Program with Apollo 1969 of Lloyd’s until 2023 at our current rates, providing
stable predictable insurance pricing for the next two years. Further, the Company has completed integration with Sedgwick, a leading insurance claim
processing partner for many companies in rideshare transportation and food delivery.
 
On July 26, 2021, the Company entered into a certain Vehicle Rental Strategic Relationship Agreement with Uber Technologies, Inc. to become an official
vehicle solution provider on the Uber platform for both electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles. We are currently piloting the vehicle
solutions program with Uber and refining the terms of the program as we gather additional performance data.
 
 On November 9, 2021, the Company entered into an Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”), with D.A. Davidson & Co. and Northland
Securities, Inc. (collectively, the “Agents"), pursuant to which each Agent acts as the Company’s sales agents with respect to the offer and sale from time to
time of common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $50.0 million in “at-the market-offerings”, as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the
Securities Act, and pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 that was previously declared effective by the SEC.
 
 
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Management’s Plans
 
We have incurred operating losses since inception and historically relied on debt and equity financing for working capital. Throughout the next 12 months,
the Company intends to fund its operations through revenue from operations, the remaining capital raised through public securities offerings described in
Notes 1 and 5, respectively, as well as under its ATM program. We continue to believe the Company has sufficient resources to continue as a going concern.
 
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
 
The Company’s most significant estimates and judgments involve recognition of revenue and estimates for future contingent customer incentive obligations,
insurance reserves, and the measurement of the Company’s stock-based compensation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most
advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting
guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of
unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in
valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that
reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that
may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1  - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
Level 2  - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
 
Level 3  - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
 
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair
value.
 
Fair-value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31,
2021 and 2020. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments
include cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. Fair values for these items were assumed to approximate carrying values because
of their short-term nature or they are payable on demand.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company considers institutional money market funds and all highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Restricted Cash
 
Restricted Cash Restricted cash consist primarily of amounts held in a restricted bank account at Cogent Bank as collateral for the amount pledged by the
Company to secure a revolving line of credit made by Cogent Bank to AmeriDrive, as well as escrow accounts held for our insurance claims processing
partner to pay out claims in a timely fashion. These restricted cash amounts are still owned by HyreCar but the Company does not have full immediate
control or the ability to dispose freely of them at least in the short term.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable are reported net of allowance for expected losses. It represents the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances.
Differences between the amount due and the amount management expects to collect are charged to operations in the year in which those differences are
determined, with an offsetting entry to a valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had respectively $50,079 and $0 as reserve
allowance for accounts receivable outstanding balances.
 
F- 7

Table of Contents
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company’s fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life ranging
from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life or lease life. Maintenance and repairs are charged to
operations as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost
and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Property and equipment at December
31, 2021 was made up of equipment and software. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $3,160 and $2,960,
respectively.
 
Offering Costs
 
The Company accounts for offering costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs. Prior to the
completion of an offering, offering costs were capitalized as deferred offering costs on the consolidated balance sheets. The deferred offering costs are netted
against the proceeds of the offering in consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) or the related debt. There are no deferred offering
costs as of  December 31, 2021.
 
Internal Use Software
 
We incur software development costs to develop software programs to be used solely to meet our internal needs and cloud-based applications used to deliver
our services. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40, Internal-Use Software, we capitalize development costs related to these
software applications once a preliminary project stage is complete, funding has been committed, and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the
software will be used to perform the function intended. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has capitalized $588,057 and $221,623 of internal
software related costs respectively, which is included in intangible assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is being amortized over
three years. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $73,874 and $73,874, respectively. Accumulated amortization for
the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $215,466 and $141,592, respectively.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived assets
 
The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment no less frequently than annually or whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any long-
lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed. There were no impairment losses during the years ended December 31, 2021 and
2020. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s products and services will continue, which
could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future. 
 
F- 8

Table of Contents
 
Deferred Rent
 
The Company recognizes rental expense on a straight-line basis from the time of the lease commencement date through the end of the lease. As of December
31, 2021 the Company's rental lease with Brookfield property has expired and a new lease agreement was entered into as of January 1, 2022. As of December
31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized deferred rent resulting from future escalating lease payments and abated rent totaling $0 and $46,261,
respectively which is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. 
 
Insurance Reserves 
 
The Company records a loss reserve for physical damage and other liability coverage caused to owner vehicles up to the Company's insurance deductibles or
relevant limits. This reserve represents an estimate for both reported accidents, claims not yet paid, and claims incurred but not yet reported and are recorded
on a non-discounted basis. The lag time in reported claims for physical damage is minimal and as such represents a low risk of unreported claims being
excluded from the loss reserve assessment. The adequacy of the reserve is monitored quarterly and is subject to adjustment in the future based upon changes
in claims experience, including the number of incidents for which the Company is ultimately responsible and changes in the cost per claim, or changes to the
Company’s insurance policy which dictates what amounts of a claim will be paid by the Company. Effective March 1, 2021, the Company entered into a two-
year claim adjusting agreement with Sedgwick which included an escrow account requirement of $1,750,000 to be held by Sedgwick for claim payments.
This escrow account is replenished by the Company on a quarterly basis dependent on the actual claims paid during that quarter.
 
Effective May 15, 2021 the Company entered into a new policy term for its automobile liability insurance program. As part of this program the Company has
paid deposit premiums of $1,500,000 and $250,000 for the primary and excess, respectively which will be available to offset premiums due during the final
quarter or offset past due premiums during the policy period. For presentation purposes, premium deposits were netted against outstanding premium
liabilities. In addition, effective June 15, 2021, a separate primary automobile liability policy was placed related only to California operations, which required
a $300,000 deposit premium that was used to pay for and offset premiums due during the policy period.
 
While certain liability claims may take several years to completely settle, the Company's liability exposure limit is generally met in the near term. Due to our
limited operational history, the Company makes certain assumptions based on both currently available information to estimate the insurance reserves as well
as third party claims adjuster data provided on existing claims. A number of factors can affect the actual cost of a claim, including the length of time the
claim remains open, economic and healthcare cost trends, venue, and the results of similar litigation. Furthermore, claims may emerge in future periods for
events that occurred in a prior period that differs from expectations. Accordingly, actual losses may vary significantly from the estimated amounts reported in
the consolidated financial statements. Reserves are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as necessary as experience develops or new information becomes known.
However, ultimate results may differ from the Company’s estimates, which could result in losses over the Company’s reserved amounts. Such adjustments
are recorded in costs of revenue.
 
The Company has analyzed, reviewed and made several adjustments to the claims settlement process and related processing guidelines during both the
quarter ended September 30, 2021 and the quarter ended in December 31, 2021 which reduced insurance claims costs over those two quarters compared to
the quarter ended June 30, 2021. We will continue to monitor the claims process and claims portfolio to make future adjustments to our processes that will
further improve our claims adjusting performance.
 
Preferred Stock
 
ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, includes standards for how an issuer of equity classifies and measures on its consolidated balance sheets
certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.
 
Management is required to determine the presentation for the preferred stock because of the redemption and conversion provisions, among other provisions.
Specifically, management is required to determine whether the embedded conversion feature in the preferred stock is clearly and closely related to the host
instrument, and whether the bifurcation of the conversion feature is required and whether the conversion feature should be accounted for as a derivative
instrument. If the host instrument and conversion feature are determined to be clearly and closely related (both more akin to equity), derivative liability
accounting under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, is not required. 
 
F- 9

Table of Contents
 
Costs incurred directly for the issuance of the preferred stock are recorded as a reduction of gross proceeds received by the Company, resulting in a discount
to the preferred stock.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company generates the majority of its revenue from its car-sharing marketplace that connects vehicle owners and drivers and the related insurance fees
connected to each rental. Vehicle owners and drivers enter into terms of service with the Company in order to use the HyreCar platform and enter into a
rental contract that governs each rental. In entering into a rental agreement, the driver is charged in a single transaction: the base rental fee as agreed upon
between the driver and vehicle owner, a 10%-20% HyreCar fee on the base rental fee, and a daily insurance charge (“Insurance and administrative fees”), all
based on the number of days the vehicle is to be rented within the contract. HyreCar retains 15-30% of the base rental fee and remits the remaining portion to
the vehicle owner. The 10%-20% fee collected from the driver and 15-30% retained from the owner are considered “Transaction Fees” and the recorded on a
net basis as described below. The Company recognizes revenue daily during the rental periods as the Company is required to maintain insurance underlying
the transaction and as a customary business practice, a driver can return a vehicle early for a refund of the unused rental period. Insurance and transaction
fees are charged to a driver in a single transaction. Drivers currently do not have an option to decline insurance at any point during the transaction.
 
The Company also recognizes revenue from other sources such as referrals, motor vehicle record fees (application fees), late rental fees, and other fees
charged to drivers in specific situations.
 
In applying the guidance of ASC 606, the Company 1) identifies the contract with the customer 2) identifies the performance obligations in the contract 3)
determines the transaction price 4) determines if an allocation of that transaction price is required to the performance obligations in the contract and 5)
recognizes revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
 
Refunds may occur when the driver returns the owner vehicle early based on the terms of the original contract or cancels the rental prior to completing the
exchange. In limited circumstances, the Company provides contingent consideration in the form of a rebate that is redeemable only if the customer completes
a specific level of transaction over a specific time period. In such cases, the rebate or refund obligation is recognized as a reduction of revenues. The
Company defers revenue in all instances when the earnings process is not yet complete.

Principal Agent Considerations
 
The Company evaluates our service offerings to determine if we are acting as the principal or as an agent, which we consider in determining if revenue
should be reported gross or net. One of our primary revenue source is a transaction fee made from a confirmed booking of a vehicle on our platform. Key
indicators that we evaluate to reach this determination include:
 
 
●

We have determined we act as the agent in the transaction for vehicle bookings (Transaction Fees), as we are not the primary obligor of the arrangement and
receive a fixed percentage of the transaction. Therefore, revenue is recognized on a net basis.
 
For other fees such as insurance, referrals, and motor vehicle records (application fees) we have determined revenue should be recorded on a gross basis. In
such arrangements, the Company sets pricing, has risk of economic loss, has certain credit risk, provides support services related to these transactions, and
has decision making ability about service providers used.
 
Cost of Revenue
 
Cost of revenue primarily include direct fees paid for insurance to cover the vehicle driver and owner, insurance claim payments and estimated liabilities
based on the policy in effect at the time of loss, merchant processing fees, technology and hosting costs, and motor vehicle record fees incurred for paid
driver applications. General liability insurance that covers corporate risk from activity on our platform is included in general and administrative costs.
 
Advertising
 
The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotions as incurred. Advertising expense was $3,136,068 and $2,143,079 for the years ended
December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
 
Research and Development
 
We incur research and development costs during the process of researching and developing our technologies and future offerings. Our research and
development costs consist primarily of non-capitalized development and maintenance costs. We expense these costs as incurred unless such costs qualify for
capitalization under applicable guidance. During 2021, the Company capitalized $366,435 in expenditures related to the development of a vehicle
verification software that was internally developed. This project will validate the authenticity and quality of vehicles on the platform and will significantly
reduce on-fleeting time and increase fleet quality standards to overall increase the owner/driver experience on the platform . 
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for stock awards issued under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is
measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award. Stock-based compensation is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite
vesting period and over the non-employee's period of providing goods or services. The fair value of each stock option or warrant award is estimated on the
date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Restricted shares are measured based on the fair market value of the underlying stock on the
grant date.
 
Stock-based compensation is included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations as follows:

Income Taxes
 
The Company applies ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their consolidated financial statements reported amounts at each period end, based on enacted tax laws and
statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when
necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period, if
any, and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has established a full allowance
against all deferred tax assets.
 
ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. A tax benefit from an uncertain
position is recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable upon examination by the relevant taxing authority based on its
technical merit.
 
Loss per Common Share
 
The Company presents basic loss per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic loss per share is
computed as net loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For periods in which we incur a net loss, the
effects of potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive and would be excluded from diluted EPS calculations. For the year ended December 31, 2021
and 2020, there were 680,255 and 1,138,379 options or warrants excluded, and 769,486 and 794,325 restricted stock units excluded, respectively.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
The Company maintains its cash with a major financial institution located in the United States of America which it believes to be credit worthy.  Balances are
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At times, the Company maintains balances in excess of the federally insured limits.
 
Other Concentrations
 
The Company has historically relied on a single insurance broker and underwriter at any given time to provide all automobile insurance on vehicles rentals
on the HyreCar platform. There are multiple brokers and carriers who issue this type of insurance coverage, and the Company is regularly reviewing leading
insurers in the transportation and mobility sectors as this is an important part of our operations. The Company does not believe the loss of our current broker
or underwriter would have a material effect on our operations.  
 
New Accounting Standards
 
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842),
specifying the accounting for leases, which supersedes the leases requirements in Topic 840, Leases. The objective of Topic 842 is to establish the principles
that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of consolidated financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of
cash flows arising from a lease. Lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize the asset and liability for leases with a term of
twelve months or less. Lessors’ accounting is largely unchanged from the previous accounting standard. In addition, Topic 842 expands the disclosure
requirements of lease arrangements. Lessees and lessors will use a modified retrospective transition approach, which includes several practical expedients.
This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021 for emerging growth companies,
with early adoption permitted. The Company has reviewed the provisions of the new standard and will apply it going forward into the new lease agreement
signed November 16, 2021. See Other section of Note 3  - Commitments and Contingencies for breakdown of lease Liability for the term of the lease.
 
In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions in existing guidance and
improves consistency in application by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December
15, 2021, and interim periods within those annual periods, where the transition method varies depending upon the specific amendment. Early adoption is
permitted, including adoption in any interim period. An entity that elects to early adopt the amendments in an interim period should reflect any adjustments
as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period, and all amendments must be adopted in the same period. The Company has
reviewed the provisions of the new standard, but it is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company.
 
F- 12

Table of Contents
 
The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been several ASUs to date, including those above, that amend the original
text of ASC. Management believes that those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to
us, or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact our consolidated financial statements.
 
 
NOTE 3 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Settlement and Legal
 
Except as may be set forth below, we are not a party to any legal proceedings, and we are not aware of any claims or actions pending or threatened against us.
In the future, we might from time to time become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from our ordinary course of business, the resolution of
which we do not anticipate would have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
On August 27, 2021, a putative securities class action complaint captioned Baron v. HyreCar Inc. et al., Case No. 21-cv-06918, was filed in the United States
District Court for the Central District of California against the Company; its Chief Executive Officer, Joseph Furnari; and its former Chief Financial Officer,
Robert Scott Brogi. The proposed class period is May 14, 2021 to August 10, 2021, inclusive. The complaint asserts claims and seeks damages for alleged
violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, alleging that the defendants made
material misrepresentations or failed to disclose material facts that (1) the Company had materially understated its insurance reserves; (2) the Company had
failed to pay valid insurance claims incurred prior to the class period; (3) the Company had incurred significant expense transitioning its new third-party
insurance claims administrator and processing claims incurred from prior periods; (4) the Company did not appropriately price risk in its insurance products
and was experiencing elevated claims incidence as a result; (5) the Company reformed its claims underwriting, policies and procedures in response to high
claims severity and customer complaints; and (6) as a result, the Company’s operations and prospects were misrepresented. On December 27, 2021, the
Company and the individual defendants moved to dismiss the First Amended Complaint on behalf of defendants, arguing that Lead Plaintiff failed to
adequately plead that any of the Company’s public statements were materially false or misleading, or that defendants acted with scienter– meaning
defendants either knew those statements were false or were deliberately reckless to their truth or falsity at the time they were made. The Company’s chances
of success on the merits are still uncertain and any possible loss or range of loss cannot be reasonably estimated. We refer to the subsequent events section for
updates past fiscal year 2021.

In November 2021, the Company entered into a lease in Los Angeles, California commencing January 1, 2022, with the ability to occupy the facility in
January 2022. The lease term is 48 months from the commencement date. The lease required a deposit of $25,563. Per the lease agreement, the monthly rate
will range from $23,394 to $25,563 a month prior to discounts and abatements that may apply. The Company also rents office furniture and incurs ancillary
fees for building services and shared expenses. In accordance with ASC 842 mentioned above, the Company will record a Right to Use asset account and
Lease Liability account for $997,109 as of January 1, 2022 (the present value of the lease payments) and those accounts will be amortized over the 48 month
period of the lease agreement. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $177,786 and $274,280, respectively. As of  December 31,
2021, future lease payments under the non-cancellable operating lease are as follows:

We connect drivers and vehicle owners in many tax jurisdictions throughout the United States. After the Supreme Court of the United States decision in
South Dakota v. Wayfair Inc. (Wayfair) in June 2018, states commenced enacting laws that would require certain online sellers to collect sales and use tax
despite not having a physical presence in the buyer’s state. In response to Wayfair, or otherwise, states or local governments may adopt, or begin to enforce,
laws requiring us to calculate, collect, and remit taxes on sales in their jurisdictions. A successful assertion by one or more states requiring us to collect taxes
could result in tax liabilities, including taxes on past sales, as well as penalties and interest. Based on our analysis of certain state regulations on peer-to-peer
activities, we do not believe risk of loss is probable on historical revenue activities.  We continuously monitor state regulations as it relates to peer-to-peer
vehicle rental activities and will implement required collection and remittance procedures if and when we believe we would become subject to such
regulations.

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the closing stock price of $4.71 of
common stock on December 31, 2021.
 
There were no stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2021. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended
December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $2,382,955 and $210,055 respectively. When options are exercised, the Company's policy is to issue previously unissued
shares of common stock to satisfy share option exercises. The total fair value of options vested for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $19,325
and $83,774, respectively.
 
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options that contain service and/or performance conditions using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
There were no options granted during  year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
 
The Company recognizes stock option forfeitures as they occur. The risk-free interest rate assumption for options granted is based upon observed interest
rates on the United States government securities appropriate for the expected term of the Company’s stock options.
 
The expected term of stock options is calculated using the simplified method which takes into consideration the contractual life and vesting terms of the
options. The simplified method was used by the Company due to insufficient historical data.

The Company determined the expected volatility assumption for options granted using the historical volatility of comparable public company’s common
stock. The Company will continue to monitor peer companies and other relevant factors used to measure expected volatility for future stock option grants,
until such time that the Company’s common stock has enough market history to use historical volatility.
 
The dividend yield assumption for options granted is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The Company has never declared
or paid any cash dividends on its common stock, and the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
 
Stock-based compensation expense for stock options for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $11,402 and $1,742,705, respectively. Included in
stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 was additional expense of $1,434,132 pertaining to a modification. On April 29,
2020, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved an exchange (the “Exchange”) of grants under the 2018 Plan previously made to
executive officers and directors of the Company (the “Grantees”). Pursuant to the Exchange, the Grantees agreed to the cancellation of options to purchase an
aggregate of 1,487,500 shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2018 Plan in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of 822,500 shares of fully
vested restricted stock under the 2018 Plan.
 
The Exchange was a cancellation of stock options with a concurrent replacement award and was accounted for as a modification. As there was no future
service or performance conditions associated with the replacement award, compensation cost was fully recognized during the year ended  December 31,
2020.
 
As of December 31, 2021, there is no remaining stock-based compensation expense as all options are fully vested.

The president of the Company’s primary insurance broker through June 2020 is also a minority stockholder and holder of warrants. As of December 31, 2021
and 2020, the Company had outstanding balances to the insurer totaling $0 and $0, included in accounts payable or accrued liabilities, respectively. During
the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company paid the insurer approximately $0 and $2,514,743, respectively. On June 15, 2020, the Company
completed moving its primary and excess automobile insurance liability programs over to an insurance provider and is no longer using the related party

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES
 
For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not record a current or deferred income tax expense or benefit due to current and
historical losses incurred by the Company. The Company’s losses before income taxes consist solely of losses from domestic operations.
 
On March 27, 2020, the United States enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). The Cares Act includes provisions
relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of the employer portion of certain payroll taxes, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative
minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified
improvement property. The CARES Act also established a Paycheck Protection Program whereby certain small businesses are eligible for a loan to fund
payroll expenses, rent, and related costs.
 
The Company considered the provisions under the CARES Act and elected not to take advantage of the provisions of CARES Act as the effect of such
provisions was not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial statements.

Management has considered the Company’s history of cumulative net losses and estimated future operating activity and has concluded that it is more likely
than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been
established against deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company reevaluates the positive and negative evidence at each
reporting period. The Company’s valuation allowance increased during 2021 by approximately $6.3 million primarily due to the generation of net operating
loss carryforwards and stock based compensation.
 
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of $51.3 million and $32.1 million, respectively, which
may be available to offset future income tax liabilities. The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“ TCJA”) will generally allow losses incurred after 2017 to be
carried over indefinitely, but will generally limit the net operating loss deduction to the lesser of the net operating loss carryover or 80% of a corporation’s
taxable income (subject to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). Also, there will be no carryback for losses incurred after 2017.
Losses incurred prior to 2018 will generally be deductible to the extent of the lesser of a corporation’s net operating loss carryover or 100% of a corporation’s
taxable income and be available for twenty years from the period the loss was generated. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company also had similar
amounts of U.S. state net operating loss carryforwards, which may be available to offset future income tax liabilities and expire at various dates through
2040.
 
Utilization of the U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation under Section 382 and Section 383
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and corresponding provisions of state law, due to ownership changes that have occurred previously or
that could occur in the future. These ownership changes may limit the amount of net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards that
can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax liabilities, respectively. The Company has not completed a study to assess whether a change
of ownership has occurred, or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since its formation. Any limitation may result in expiration of a portion
of the net operating loss carryforwards or research and development tax credit carryforwards before utilization.
 
The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state tax examinations by tax authorities for years 2017 through present. As of December 31, 2021 , there are no
pending tax examinations.

NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
On August 27, 2021, a putative securities class action complaint captioned Baron v. Hyrecar Inc. et al., Case No. 21-cv-06918, was filed in the United States
District Court for the Central District of California against the Company; its Chief Executive Officer, Joseph Furnari; and its former Chief Financial Officer,
Robert Scott Brogi. This action is described in Note 3. Subsequent to December 31, 2021, Lead Plaintiff filed an opposition on January 10, 2022 and the
Defendants filed a reply on January 18, 2022. On February 16, 2022, the Court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss on the basis that Lead Plaintiff failed to
adequately plead any of defendants’ statements were materially false or misleading. Because the Court ruled that Plaintiff did not sufficiently plead falsity,
the Court did not address the additional arguments regarding scienter at the time. The Court permitted Lead Plaintiff leave to amend its complaint. The next
amended complaint, if any, must be filed no later than March 21, 2022. Should Lead Plaintiff file another amended complaint, the Company and individual
defendants anticipate filing another motion to dismiss the claims. The Company believes that the allegations in this lawsuit are without merit and will
continue to vigorously defend against them.
