ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Corporate History
EVmo, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was formed on June 21, 2016 under the name “YayYo, LLC.” The Company was subsequently converted into a Delaware corporation pursuant to the unanimous written consent of our former manager and members in a transaction intended to be tax-free under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Conversion”). Pursuant to the Conversion, the members of YayYo, LLC have assigned, transferred, exchanged and converted their respective limited liability company membership interests of YayYo, LLC, into shares of common stock, par value $0.000001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”). All of YayYo, LLC’s liabilities and assets were automatically transferred to the Company and the Company assumed ownership of such assets and liabilities upon the filing of the “Certificate of Conversion from a Delaware Limited Liability Company to a Delaware Corporation” with the State of Delaware pursuant to Section 265 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company now operates as a “C” corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware.
On August 12, 2017, we announced that we were shifting our primary corporate focus in the transportation/ridesharing industry from being an exclusive provider of transportation networks systems towards a more diversified operating company with a direct focus on the vehicle rental business and a related transportation network system.
Prior to March 2017, the Company’s operating expenses were covered almost entirely by start-up capital provided by its founder and financing from private investors. In March 2017, the Company launched a best-efforts offering pursuant to “Regulation A+” of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The offering was for up to 6,250,000 shares of Common Stock at $8.00 per share when a Form 1-A relating to this offering was qualified by the Securities & Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Then, on November 15, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering of 2,625,000 shares of Common Stock, at $4.00 per share, for gross proceeds, before underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses, of $10.5 million and the shares became listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “YAYO.”
On February 10, 2020, the Company notified Nasdaq of its intent to voluntarily delist its Common Stock. In connection therewith, the Company filed a Form 25 with the SEC on or about February 20, 2020. The Company elected to effect the voluntary delisting of its common stock after discussions with Nasdaq’s staff, and based on the determination of the Company’s board of directors that voluntarily delisting the Common Stock from Nasdaq was in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders at that time. Since delisting from Nasdaq, our Common Stock has traded on the OTC Markets under the same ticker symbol.
In September 2020, we changed our name from YayYo, Inc. to Rideshare Rental, Inc., in order for our corporate brand to better reflect our principal businesses, ridesharing and vehicle rentals. In March 2021, we decided to change our name again, this time to EVmo, Inc., to underscore our commitment to making a full transition to electric vehicles over the next several years.
Overview
EVmo is a holding company operating principally through two wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) Rideshare Car Rentals LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Rideshare”), and (ii) Distinct Cars, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Distinct Cars”). Rideshare offers an online bookings platform to service the ridesharing and delivery gig industries (the “Rideshare Platform”). Distinct Cars maintains a fleet of passenger vehicles and transit vans for the last-mile logistical space for rent to our customers. Through Rideshare and Distinct Cars, the Company seeks to become the leading provider of rental vehicles to drivers in the ridesharing and delivery gig spaces, and an industry leader in supplying transit vans for last-mile logistics. In March 2021, we formed another wholly-owned subsidiary, EV Vehicles LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which we intend to utilize as the corporate platform to execute our electric vehicles strategy.
The Rideshare Platform
On October 31, 2017, the Company created Rideshare to incubate the concept of the Rideshare Platform, which is a proprietary, peer-to-peer booking platform, intended to rent passenger vehicles to self-employed ridesharing drivers. The Company has since deployed and launched the Rideshare Platform on the Company’s e-commerce website, http://www.ridesharerental.com. The Rideshare Platform also commercially markets the Company’s own fleet of cars as well as those of other fleet owners and selected individual car owners, providing them with an opportunity to monetize their vehicles by renting them out to ridesharing drivers. Our business strategy with our Rideshare Platform is to further develop and expand our brand equity and establish ourselves as the premier peer-to-peer Transportation Network Company (“TNC”) vehicle rental business for the ridesharing and delivery gig industries that matches the owners and/or operators of passenger vehicles (including the Company’s fleet of maintained vehicles) to existing or prospective ridesharing and delivery gig drivers. The Company initially launched the Rideshare Platform in Los Angeles, CA and has since expanded it into multiple other markets, including Oakland, CA; Las Vegas, NV; Chicago, IL; Newark, NJ; Baltimore, MD; and Dallas, TX.
The Rideshare Platform’s functionality provides drivers with access to certain data emitted from their respective Company rental vehicle(s) through a personal Rideshare dashboard. Vehicle owners can also access and manage data emitted from their personal vehicle(s) under rental to a third-party from the Rideshare Platform inventory dashboard and can further manage the other aspects of the vehicle rental transaction through the Rideshare Platform, including rental extension options. All transactional aspects of the rental vehicle(s) (including, but not limited to, background checks, terms, deposits and insurance costs) are run securely through the Rideshare Platform. In addition, our Rideshare website not only effectively monetizes Company-owned vehicle fleets, made available through Distinct Cars, but also generates revenue by charging transactional fees to other vehicle owners and ridesharing and delivery gig drivers for all rental transactions consummated on the Rideshare Platform. The Rideshare Platform is available on desktop, iOS and Android devices. The development and functionality of our mobile applications are a material component to our business as drivers are more likely to transact via mobile devices.
Most importantly, all passenger vehicles and transit vans made available on the Rideshare Platform are fully qualified by the Company and guaranteed to meet the necessary qualification requirements.
The Company believes that due to the rapid development of the ridesharing and delivery gig economies and their anticipated growth trajectories, these markets will continue to reward the Company as an early entrant to the third-party vehicle rental business. Under the Rideshare Platform we intend to become the go-to booking destination and brand for ridesharing and delivery gig vehicle rentals in a TNC marketplace that connects owners and/or operators of standard and, increasingly, electric passenger vehicles and transit vans for the last-mile logistical space, with ridesharing and delivery gig economy drivers. We believe that our product and service offerings on the Rideshare Platform will continue to be an attractive proposition for all ridesharing and delivery gig economy drivers either simply requiring a standard passenger vehicle to operate, or preferring an electric vehicle, or struggling to qualify their personal vehicles under vehicle inspection requirements. While the Company will require additional capital investment to continue funding Rideshare and the Rideshare Platform, including furthering our technology, facilitating payments to us, and advertising, we believe there is a strong opportunity to grow and scale the Rideshare Platform in both existing and new geographical territories for purposes of developing and strengthening the Company’s brand and competitive advantage in the ridesharing and delivery gig vehicle rental markets.
Insurance
As of the date of this Report, the Company, together with our managing general underwriter, American Business Insurance Services, Inc. (the “MGU”), maintains an insurance policy on behalf of the Company. Under the policy the MGU handles all back-end insurance generation and processing through an application programming interface (API) connection with the Company’s databases. We believe that this MGU insurance policy has made it possible for us to maintain our Rideshare Platform, which allows the Company to have other third-party fleet owners supply vehicles to drivers through our platform and have them covered under the terms of our insurance policy. Our insurance policy provides physical damage and liability coverage to all rideshare drivers under the Rideshare Platform. Under the terms of our policy, both Rideshare Platform drivers acquiring vehicles through Fleet Management (as defined below) as well as owners of their own vehicles are provided with an insurance ID card that lists each party’s name and the vehicle VIN number. Our Rideshare Platform customers pay daily (for the duration of the rental period) to become designated as a supplemental insured party under the Company’s insurance policy. Under the terms of our policy, insurance coverage is valid from the date of commencement of the rental period up until the date that the vehicle is returned.
Further, the Company’s car liability and physical damage insurance policies cover both third-party vehicle owners as well as ridesharing and delivery gig drivers under rental contract. These policies provide insurance on all listed vehicles, provided that the coverage is suspended during periods when the ridesharing driver under rental contract with the Company is actively operating on either the Uber or Lyft platform.
Distinct Cars Fleet Management Business
On June 10, 2017, the Company formed Distinct Cars for the purpose of developing a fleet management business (“Fleet Management”). Fleet Management maintains a fleet of new standard and, increasingly, electric passenger vehicles and transit vans for the logistical space to be rented directly to drivers in the ridesharing and delivery gig economies through the Rideshare Platform. The Company’s fleet of vehicles, under lease contract and maintained by Distinct Cars, as well as other third-party vehicles have been made commercially available for rental bookings on the Rideshare Platform. The Company seeks to provide drivers in the ridesharing and delivery gig markets with full-service vehicle rentals and fleet contract maintenance solutions for commercial standard and electric passenger vehicles, as well as transit vans in the logistical space. As a provider of comprehensive, integrated vehicle rental and management solutions, Fleet Management markets and manages short and long-term vehicle rentals to ridesharing and delivery gig economy drivers. As of the date of this Report, approximately half of these drivers are located in greater Los Angeles while the other half are located in the other six cities where we have operations.
The Company is focused on operating, developing and investing in its vehicle rental business with a focus on marketing directly to the peer-to-peer car sharing and ridesharing industry professionals. The Company is capable of meeting customers’ needs, including but not limited to a guaranty that all vehicles maintained under Fleet Management will comply with and pass the Ridesharing Qualification Requirements. Fleet Management product and service offering includes full-service vehicle rental(s) and contract maintenance, along with distribution center management and transportation management service. As of the date of this Report, the Company’s customer base is primarily ridesharing and delivery gig drivers located within our markets that are operating and performing driving services on behalf of a host of the private ridesharing and delivery TNCs (primarily Lyft and Uber in ridesharing, and DoorDash and GrubHub for delivery). The Company hopes to aggressively expand our Fleet Management services and product offerings nationally.
In August 2017, following our announcement that we were shifting our primary corporate operations, we entered into a leasing arrangement for an initial group of twelve (12) vehicles, with the intent of testing our Fleet Management concept within the ridesharing industry. Following the Company’s proof of concept period, we expanded our Fleet Management business in December 2017 by adding an additional 135 vehicles to our fleet. As of March 24, 2021, Fleet Management includes a fleet of approximately 626 vehicles- including standard and electric passenger vehicles as well as transit vans for the last-mile logistical space- under lease contract. Generally, professional ridesharing and delivery gig economy drivers contract with private ridesharing TNCs for vehicle rental periods generally ranging from less than three days to six months. The rental vehicles made available to customers by the Company are configured and guaranteed to be compliant with the same vehicle inspection requirements imposed on ridesharing (not delivery) vehicles by the largest private ridesharing TNCs (specifically, Uber and Lyft).
The Company believes that customers will rent vehicles offered by our Fleet Management business in order to reduce the complexity, cost and total capital associated with vehicle ownership. Further, we believe that due to our market focus on the ridesharing industry and the additional imposition of the ridesharing qualification requirements imposed on ridesharing vehicles by the dominant private ridesharing TNCs, our customers will be further incentivized to rent our Fleet Management vehicles to guarantee compliance with those requirements.
Under a full-service rental agreement, the Company provides and fully maintains the vehicle, which is generally specifically configured to meet the ridesharing qualification requirements. The services provided under full-service rental and contract maintenance agreements generally include preventive and regular maintenance, advanced diagnostics, emergency road service, fleet services, and safety programs, through our company-operated facilities.
Fleet Management Software
The Company has been an early adopter of technologies to leverage the Fleet Management business. To ensure that the Company’s fleet of vehicles meet and comply with the standard ridesharing qualification requirements and transmit relevant data to our customers, the Company has fit its Fleet Management vehicles with our proprietary fleet management GPS solution software, providing open platform fleet management solutions to businesses of all sizes. These full-featured solutions help the Company manage its drivers and vehicles by extracting accurate and actionable intelligence from real-time and historical location trip data. The telematics solutions for fleet optimization provide our Fleet Management vehicles with fitted software analytics and data involving (i) fuel efficiency; (ii) management of vehicle maintenance and (iii) prevention of vehicle wear and tear.
Commercial Partnership Programs
In June 2017, the Company entered into a strategic partnership arrangement with Hyundai USA, a subsidiary of the Hyundai Motor Group (“Hyundai”) for purposes of entering into a fleet purchase program. The Hyundai program has provided the Company with competitive pricing options (or best available pricing) below manufacturer suggested retail prices on all purchases for brand-new Hyundai vehicles and priority status on the availability and delivery of all Hyundai vehicles under contract with the Company. The vehicle purchases are currently financed by ACME Auto Leasing and LMP Financial Services, with title to the vehicles held by the Company under liens held by the financiers.
The Company has entered into a similar partnership program with Hyundai’s affiliate, Kia Motors America, Inc., and in March 2021 we entered into a separate partnership with Tesla, Inc., which is intended to facilitate our strategy to transition to all-electric vehicles.
Our Business Model and Our Future Opportunities
We have developed what we believe is an innovative business model in which we not only provide ridesharing and delivery gig drivers with the necessary technology to operate, through the Rideshare Platform, but also the vehicles themselves, via Fleet Management, should the driver not have a qualified vehicle to use. Our two principal operating subsidiaries have a rare corporate synergy that enables us to both diversify and create complementary revenue streams. Further, as we continue our transition to all-electric vehicles, we believe we are in the vanguard of a new era in commercial transportation and that our early presence in this industry will further distinguish us from a competitive standpoint.
While we cannot at this time assess the ultimate effect of COVID-19 and its resulting restrictions on our Company, as of the date of this Report these restrictions appear to be slowly abating. We believe that consumer options in ridesharing will continue to expand to an even larger audience, such as carpooling and private bus services. The expansion of consumer options has also attracted mass transit customers to more expensive luxury options. Our Fleet Management business is designed to put more certified ridesharing vehicles on the roadways to meet the increasing consumer demand of the availability of ridesharing services.
Moreover, our entry during 2020 into the delivery gig space has provided us with another form of service diversity, one with fewer barriers to entry, as the requirements for vehicles operated by delivery gig drivers are significantly less onerous than those operated by rideshare drivers, as delivery gig drivers are not transporting people. The increasing demand for ridesharing and delivery gig services has produced an increase in demand by TNC businesses for more ridesharing and delivery gig drivers and vehicles on the road at any given time. The growing demographic of ridesharing and delivery gig drivers, as determined on a global basis, has drawn drivers to these industries to perform services for a host of private TNC businesses, such as Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and GrubHub. The Company estimates that private TNC businesses are hiring more than 50,000 drivers a month to keep pace with the current commercial demand for ridesharing and delivery gig services.
Vehicle and Driver Requirements
We believe that many potential ridesharing drivers are deterred from applying for or are turned away from employment by certain TNCs on account of the fact that their personal vehicles would fail or are failing to meet the qualification requirements imposed by those TNCs. We address this directly by enabling such drivers to rent vehicles from us, through Fleet Management. Each of our vehicles meets if not exceeds the qualification requirements we impose on privately-owned vehicles operated by prospective rideshare drivers.
Ridesharing and Delivery Gig Qualification Requirements
Before initiating employment of a driver using his or her own vehicle, we screen and evaluate the prospective driver and we obtain a Motor Vehicle Report (“MVR”) for his or her vehicle, if the driver does not intend to rent a vehicle from our fleet. We obtain a new MVR for a vehicle not from our fleet that utilizes the Rideshare Platform every six months.
We, and other TNCs, generally impose the following requirements on potential ridesharing and delivery gig driver applicants seeking employment:
● The driver must have reached a minimum age of 21 years old;
● The ridesharing driver must have in-state auto insurance with the driver’s name on the policy;
● The ridesharing driver must have an in-state driver’s license, and been licensed in the U.S. for at least one year;
● The ridesharing driver must have in-state plates with a current registration (commercial plates are acceptable as well);
● The ridesharing driver must have a clean driving record; and
● The ridesharing driver must pass a background check; and
● The ridesharing driver’s vehicle must pass certain qualification requirements, such as the following:
○ The vehicle must be a four-door car whose year of manufacture is not earlier than the designated cut-off year;
○ The vehicle must be in good physical condition with no cosmetic damage;
○ No marketing or commercial branding is being outwardly displayed on the vehicle; and
○ The vehicle must receive a passing score on a 19-point vehicle inspection.
As mentioned above, certain cosmetic features may prevent a potential ridesharing driver’s vehicle from qualifying under the vehicle inspection on account of the following: (i) the vehicle includes a full-body wrap containing advertisements, or any large ads; (ii) the vehicle has holes or damage to the exterior; (iii) the vehicle has taxi decals or taxi-style paint; (iv) the vehicle has significant damage to the interior (including any torn seats, large permanent stains, strong permanent odors); (v) the vehicle has paint oxidation; or (vi) the vehicle has different colored hoods/doors; and (vii) the vehicle has objectionable aftermarket modification.
As also noted above, we, as well as other private ridesharing companies, also require all potential ridesharing drivers to undergo a vehicle inspection test on all personal driver vehicles to be used by the potential ridesharing driver to perform ridesharing services on behalf of the private ridesharing company. A 19-point inspection is a standard vehicle inspection procedure to check a car in 19 specific areas to ensure that it conforms to safety and operational requirements. While the 19 points are typically the same for different companies, their procedures differ slightly. The process also varies based on the geographical location where the inspection is performed. The 19 points of the vehicle checked for inspection include headlights, tail-lights, indicator lights, stop lights, foot brakes, emergency/parking brake, steering mechanism, windshield, heat and air conditioning, front, rear and side windows, front seat adjustment mechanism, door controls (open, close, lock), horn, speedometer, body condition/ damage, muffler and exhaust system, condition or tires, interior and exterior rear-view mirrors and safety belts for driver and passengers. Any vehicle having a problem or issue with any of the inspection points will generally not pass the vehicle inspection and we will refuse the opportunity to become a ridesharing driver for us.
Company Growth Strategy
Our long-term strategy is focused on four priorities: expanding and diversifying our revenues; improving our operating effectiveness; enhancing the customer experience; and disciplined capital management.
Expand and Diversify Revenues-Our strategy to achieve ongoing growth is driven by initiatives that expand and diversify our revenues through customer- and market-focused initiatives. We are actively working to expand our Fleet Management business and use of the Rideshare Platform and we intend to convert our entire fleet inventory over to electric vehicles. We will continue to offer a comprehensive equipment rental fleet to maintain and hopefully grow our market position. We plan to continue to expand our footprint in North America, with a focus on increasing the following: (i) the number of major geographical markets served on our Rideshare Platform; (ii) the number of vehicles maintained and managed under the Company’s Fleet Management business, with a strong focus on adding electric vehicles, which will eventually constitute our entire fleet population; and (iii) to continue to reinforce our existing locations with additional fleet and enhance our expertise tailored to local markets. Our footprint expansion will include new locations served under our Rideshare Platform and Fleet Management operations to better support our growing ridesharing rental business. We will continue to pursue initiatives that allow us to drive sales through our existing locations and geographical territories.
Improve Operating Effectiveness-We are focused on generating continuous improvement across our operations, with an emphasis on building a strong safety culture, fleet management business, e-commerce bookings website, fleet availability and improving margins. We are continuing to build a highly professional and technology-enabled sales force and to optimize our sales territories to support our revenue growth objectives. We will continue to improve the effectiveness of our sales team with focused training, strong customer relationship management capabilities, and ongoing technology enhancements.
Enhance the Customer Experience-We seek to differentiate our business by delivering a superior customer experience through the variety and quality of the vehicles and services we offer, the ease of doing business with us and the added value we offer through services, products and technologies. Our focus on quality vehicle brands tailored to meet the qualification requirements of the ridesharing industry is intended to meet the needs and preferences of ridesharing drivers, including the expectations for reliable, safe, efficient and effective maintained vehicles. We expect to add more expertise across our team to help our customers achieve the best results for their projects. In developing and providing vehicle rental related technologies, we are focused on meeting customer expectations related to convenience and on-demand access to data and information.
Disciplined Asset Management-We manage our vehicle rental fleet to optimize the timing of fleet rentals, repairs and maintenance, while at the same time satisfying our customers’ needs. Through continued use and development of our disciplined approach to efficient fleet management, we seek to maximize our utilization and return on investment.
Intellectual Property
As of the date of this Report, we have two registered trademarks “YayYo®” and the service mark for a stylized design representing an automobile that is present in our web sites and our marketing materials. We have no applications for other trademarks as of the date of this Report. We have no patents or copyrights.
Human Capital
As of the date of this Report, we had approximately 35 full-time employees, all of which are based at our offices. None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement, and we believe that our relations with our employees generally are good.
Regulation
We are subject to a number of U.S. federal and state and foreign laws and regulations that involve matters central to our business. These laws and regulations may involve privacy, data protection, intellectual property, competition, consumer protection, export taxation or other subjects. Many of the laws and regulations to which we are subject are still evolving and being tested in courts and could be interpreted in ways that could harm our business. In addition, the application and interpretation of these laws and regulations often are uncertain, particularly in the new and rapidly evolving industry in which we operate. Because laws and regulations have continued to develop and evolve rapidly, it is possible that we may not be, or may not have been, compliant with each such applicable law or regulation. In addition to the foregoing, we are also subject to the following:
● Governmental regulations affect almost every aspect of our business, including the fair treatment of our employees, wage and hour issues, and our financing activities with customers. We could also be susceptible to claims or related actions if we fail to operate our business in accordance with applicable laws;
● Federal and state governments in our markets have increasingly placed restrictions and limitations on the vehicles sold in the market in an effort to combat perceived negative environmental effects. For example, in the U.S., vehicle manufacturers are subject to federally mandated corporate average fuel economy standards which will increase substantially through 2025. Furthermore, numerous states, including California, have adopted or are considering requiring the sale of specified numbers of zero-emission vehicles. Significant increases in fuel economy requirements and new federal or state restrictions on emissions on vehicles and automobile fuels in the U.S. could adversely affect prices of and demand for the new vehicles that we rent;
● We are subject to a wide range of environmental laws and regulations, including those governing: discharges into the air and water; the operation and removal of storage tanks; and the use, storage and disposal of hazardous substances. In the normal course of our operations we use, generate and dispose of materials covered by these laws and regulations. We face potentially significant costs relating to claims, penalties and remediation efforts in the event of non-compliance with existing and future laws and regulations; and
● The Financial Accounting Standards Board is currently evaluating several significant changes to generally accepted accounting standards in the U.S., including the rules governing the accounting for leases. Any such changes could significantly affect our reported financial position, earnings and cash flows.
While we are actively working to mitigate the impact of vehicle-related regulations through our strategy of transitioning our vehicle fleet to all-electric, until such time as at least the majority of our fleet has switched, we will remain subject to such regulations.
Changes in the U.S. legal and regulatory environment that affect our operations, including laws and regulations relating to taxes, automobile related liability, insurance rates, insurance products, consumer privacy, data security, employment matters, licensing and franchising, automotive retail sales, cost and fee recovery and the banking and financing industry could disrupt our business, increase our expenses or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.
Competition
We believe our principal competitors to be HyreCar, a publicly-traded company that also rents vehicles for use by drivers who work for Uber, Lyft, and food delivery platforms, and Lyft Express, which makes rental vehicles available to Lyft drivers. National car rental companies such as Hertz and Avis also have programs directed at ridesharing and delivery drivers.

Anthony Davis v. EVmo, Inc. (formerly YayYo, Inc.), and Ramy El-Batrawi
This action was filed on March 5, 2020, in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles. Plaintiff Anthony Davis acted as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer from approximately December 2016 through April 2017. Mr. El-Batrawi is the founder of the Company and its former Chief Executive Officer and director, and was involved, the complaint alleges, in Mr. Davis’s hiring and termination after a brief tenure as CEO. As part of his severance compensation, Mr. Davis was granted stock options to purchase shares of Common Stock. Mr. Davis claims that the Company breached its agreement to award him these stock options and includes a claim for wage and hour violations. The lawsuit also seeks declaratory and injunctive relief. Mr. Davis also included a claim under the California Unfair Practices Act. The Company has denied all liability, asserts that it has paid Mr. Davis all amounts due to him under his separation agreement with the Company, and has vigorously defended this lawsuit. The Company has filed a demurrer in connection with this litigation and that demurrer is expected to be resolved at a hearing in May 2021. If the case is not dismissed at that time, the Company will conduct discovery and file a motion for summary judgment.
In Re YayYo Securities Litigation
Two actions styled as securities class actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, on September 9, 2020 (Hamlin v. YayYo) and September 18, 2020, respectively (Koch v. YayYo et al). The plaintiffs to each action individually alleged misrepresentations and material omissions in the registration statement on Form S-1 that the Company filed with the SEC in connection with its initial public offering, which was declared effective on November 13, 2019, claiming violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act. Each purported action involved securities class action claims. The district court consolidated the two actions, and the Hamlin action was since dismissed. The district court indicated in its order consolidating the actions that the new caption for the case would be “In Re YayYo Securities Litigation.” The Company filed an answer, denying liability and asserted that it accurately and completely disclosed all material facts and occurrences, including adverse ones, in its registration statement, related public filings and other public statements, and further asserted that the alleged violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act are baseless. Each of the parties to this litigation has mutually agreed to request a stay of the proceedings pending a mediation that is tentatively scheduled for April 29, 2021 in which a global settlement, also involving the plaintiff class representative identified in the case described immediately below,
Michael Vanbecelaere v. YayYo, Inc, et al.
Two actions styled as securities class actions were filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, on July 22, 2020 and July 23, 2020, respectively. The plaintiffs to each action individually alleged misrepresentations and material omissions in the registration statement on Form S-1 that the Company filed with the SEC in connection with its initial public offering, which was declared effective on November 13, 2019, claiming violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act. Each action purported to bring a securities class action against the Company; one of the two lawsuits was dismissed on the basis that the lead plaintiff in one of the actions was not a suitable class representative, and that plaintiff later joined the lawsuit brought by the other one. In its answer, the Company denied liability and asserted that it accurately and completely disclosed all material facts and occurrences, including adverse ones, in its registration statement, related public filings and other public statements, and further asserted that the alleged violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act are baseless. Each of the parties to this litigation has mutually agreed to request a stay of the proceedings pending a mediation that is tentatively scheduled for April 29, 2021, which will also include the parties to the action described immediately above.
Uptick Capital, LLC v. EVmo, Inc. (formerly YayYo, Inc.)
On March 5, 2021, Uptick Capital, LLC (“Uptick”), filed an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) alleging breach of contract with respect to an Advisory Agreement that Uptick asserts it entered into with the Company on August 7, 2017. The claim filed with the AAA alleges that “pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, Uptick was entitled to receive $2,500.00 per month for three months” plus “an issuance of restricted shares of $50,000.00 worth of YayYo common stock in exchange for providing certain consulting services to YayYo.” The agreement, according to the demand, was renewed once. The Company has not yet formally responded to the arbitration claim but denies liability and intends to vigorously defend this arbitration on the basis that Uptick failed to comply with the contract. It is unknown what the potential liabilities are but, as of the date of this Report, the Company believes they should not exceed $10,000 in cash and $100,000 worth of stock.

We engaged in three unregistered sales of Common Stock to select investors during fiscal 2020. The sales are as follows:
● On April 2, 2020, we sold an aggregate of 1,428,571 shares to ACME Auto Leasing, one of the companies that finances our vehicle purchases, in a negotiated transaction for $0.07 per share, or aggregate cash consideration of $100,000.
● On June 8, 2020, we sold 1,000,000 shares to Acuitas Group Holdings, LLC, which is now the Company’s largest shareholder, in a negotiated transaction for $0.15 per share, or aggregate cash consideration of $150,000.
● On June 9, 2020, we sold 125,0000 shares to John P. O’Neill, a member of our Board of Directors, in a negotiated transaction for $0.20 per share, or aggregate cash consideration of $25,000.
Each of these sales was made pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, i.e. a private transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.
Stock Repurchases
We did not make any repurchases of the Common Stock in the fourth quarter of 2020, or in any other quarterly period, since our initial public offering in November 2019.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
Our Corporate History and Background
The Company was formed on June 21, 2016 under the name “YayYo, LLC,” which was converted into a Delaware corporation pursuant to the unanimous written consent of our former manager and members in a transaction intended to be tax-free under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Conversion”). All of YayYo, LLC’s liabilities and assets, including its intellectual property, were automatically transferred to the Company and the Company has assumed ownership of such assets and liabilities. The Company now operates as a “C” corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware. On September 11, 2020, YayYo, Inc. changed its name to Rideshare Rental, Inc. On March 1, 2021, the Company changed its name from Rideshare Rental, Inc. to EVmo, Inc.
The Company is a holding company operating through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Distinct Cars, LLC and Rideshare Car Rentals, LLC.
The Company’s operating business divisions include (i) an online rideshare vehicle booking platform to service the ridesharing economy through Rideshare Car Rentals, i.e. the Rideshare Platform, and (ii) the maintenance of a fleet of standard passenger vehicles to be made commercially available for rent through Distinct Cars, i.e. Fleet Management. The Company seeks to become the leading provider of a standard rental vehicles to drivers in the ridesharing economy.
On March 16, 2018, we completed an offering under Regulation A+ of the Securities Act, which was qualified by the SEC on March 15, 2017. We sold a total of 365,306 shares of Common Stock. We received cash proceeds of $1.8 million, net of commissions and other costs associated with the gross offering proceeds or payable by us.
On November 15, 2019, the Company closed its initial public offering of 2,625,000 common shares at $4.00 per share, for gross proceeds, before underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses, of $10.5 million, and the shares became listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “YAYO.”
On February 10, 2020, the Company notified Nasdaq of its intent to voluntarily delist its Common Stock from Nasdaq. In connection therewith, the Company notified Nasdaq of the Company’s intention to file a Form 25 with the SEC on or about February 20, 2020. The Company elected to effect the voluntary delisting of its Common Stock after discussions with Nasdaq’s staff, and based on the determination of the Company’s board of directors that voluntarily delisting the Common Stock from Nasdaq was in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Following delisting from Nasdaq, the Common Stock now trades on the OTC Markets, still under the trading symbol, “YAYO.”
Impact of COVID-19 on our business
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus surfaced in China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic.” The governors of New York, California and several other states, as well as mayors on many cities, ordered their residents to cease traveling to non-essential jobs and to curtail all unnecessary travel, and to stay in their homes as much as possible in the coming weeks, as the nation confronts the escalating coronavirus outbreak, and similar restrictions have been recommended by the federal authorities and authorities in many other states and cities. From the first quarter of 2020 and the initial rapid spread of COVID-19, rideshare companies were negatively impacted. As Americans began to practice social distancing and self-isolation, Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare companies experienced a steep decline in ridership and revenue. As a result, the Company saw a decline in revenue during the first half of 2020, which had a negative impact on our cash flows, but we then saw a positive upward movement in revenue during the second half of 2020. This has continued in the early months of 2021. As of the date of this Report, several vaccinations for COVID-19 have received emergency-use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration and many of the lockdown restrictions imposed by state and local governments, including those of the markets in which we operate, appear to be abating. Still, the pandemic has not yet ended, and there have been multiple waves where infections, hospitalizations, and deaths have sharply increased. The Company therefore cannot predict the ultimate impact that COVID -19 may have on its business this year. If another lockdown, even a partial one, were to occur in any of our markets, the Company could be forced to scale back its operations and its expansion plans, which could ultimately have a significant negative impact on us.
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Distinct Cars, LLC and RideShare Car Rentals, LLC. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Consolidated Results of Operations-Year ended December 31, 2020, Compared to Year ended December 31, 2019.
Total Revenues
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $7,621,180, an increase of $706,270 or 10.2% compared to revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $6,914,910. The increase is principally due to an increase in our rental fleet offset by a decrease in our average weekly rental income levels throughout the year ended December 31, 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the average weekly rental income per vehicle placed in service was $308 compared to $335 for the same period in 2019. Our revenues declined in March and April due to COVID -19 and began to recover in May and June 2020. Our revenue since June is back to pre-COVID-19 levels, but there is no assurance that this trend will continue.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $5,263,474, an increase of $589,604 or 12.6% compared to cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $4,673,870. The increase is due to higher depreciation expense due to an increase in fleet size and higher repairs and maintenance due to the age of the fleet. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 our cost of revenue was 69.1% and 67.6% of our revenue, respectively. The increase in the cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue is due to the decrease in average weekly rental income due to the COVID - 19 outbreak.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $490,403, representing a decrease of $275,038 or 35.9% over the year ended December 31, 2019 of $765,441. The decrease is due to better management of media placements for our advertising and a change in the vendor we used to spearhead our marketing efforts to ridesharing and delivery gig drivers.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $5,288,316, representing an increase of $1,264,395 or 31.4% over the year ended December 31, 2019 of $4,023,921. The increase is principally due to higher payroll costs (including stock option expense of $739,973) as we hired additional personnel for our expanding operations and higher management salaries; and higher occupancy costs.
Loss on the Settlement of Debt
Loss on the settlement of debt for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $0 as compared to $252,900 for the same period in 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we settled outstanding debt of $421,500 with 84,300 shares of common stock valued at $674,400.
Total Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $5,779,719, representing an increase of $722,957 or 14.3% compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 of $5,055,762. The increase is due to the reasons described above.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest and financing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $265,839 compared to $1,115,499 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in interest and financing cost for the year ended December 31, 2020 due to a decrease in outstanding debt.
Gain on Forgiveness of Debt
Gain on forgiveness of debt for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $184,775 as compared to $0 for the same period in 2019, as, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the entire loan of that amount we received under the Paycheck Protection Program of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act was forgiven.
Net Loss
The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $3,502,077, representing a decrease of $428,144 or 10.9% compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 of $3,930,221. The decrease is due to the reasons described above.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Plan of Operations
On November 15, 2019, we completed our initial public offering of Common Stock, after our registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act was declared effective by the SEC on November 13, 2019. We sold a total of 2,625,000 common shares at a price of $4.00 per share. Total gross proceeds from the offering were $10,500,000, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we sold an aggregate of 2,553,571 shares of Common Stock to three investors for cash proceeds of $275,000, of which 125,000 shares was sold to a member of our Board of Directors for cash consideration of $25,000.
On January 8, 2021, we received $500,000 from a convertible note from one of our stockholders. The note is convertible into shares of Common Stock at $0.50 per share. The note was converted into 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock in February 2021.
Current Assets, Liabilities and Working Capital
At December 31, 2020, the Company’s current assets totaled $215,990, current liabilities totaled $4,461,560, and working capital was a deficit of $4,245,570. At December 31, 2019, the Company’s current assets totaled $2,098,660, current liabilities totaled $2,655,055, and working capital was a deficit of $556,395.
Regarding current liabilities, the amounts categorized as accounts payable and accrued expenses totaled $2,119,003 and $951,231 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of $1,167,772 or 123%.
Since inception, our principal sources of operating funds have been proceeds from equity financing including the sale of our Common Stock to initial investors known to management and principal shareholders of the Company. We do not expect that our current cash on hand will fund our existing operations and future business growth. We will need to raise additional capital in order execute our business plan and growth goals for at least the next twelve-month period thereafter. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to execute a slower than planned growth path, reduce overhead and scale back its business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operational expansion and growth. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $72,890 in cash. The Company generated $536,723 of cash for operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company is seeking to raise additional capital. If the Company is not successful in raising additional capital it will be forced to significantly scale back its business operations and it growth plans. In addition, the COVID-19 virus and the related impact it is having on the U.S. economy is currently having a negative impact on the cash flows of our business. However, we were able to obtain two loans totaling $342,675 related to new legislation passed as a result of COVID-19, of which $184,775 was forgiven in 2020.
Capital Expenditures
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had capital expenditures of $3,705,417 in leased vehicles. At December 31, 2020, most of the Company’s vehicles were finance with leases. At December 31, 2020 the Company had $9,067,885 of rental vehicles, net of accumulated depreciation in the amount of $2,871,452, totaling $6,196,433 in net rental vehicles. At December 31, 2019 the Company had $6,284,211 of rental vehicles, net of accumulated depreciation in the amount of $1,547,164, totaling $4,737,047 in net rental vehicles. The Company’s rental vehicles are depreciated over their estimated useful life of five years. The lease terms for those rental vehicles that are leased are generally for one to three years and the Company has the right to purchase the leased vehicle at the end of the lease terms.
Statement of Cash Flows
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash generated by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 totaled $536,723, which was an increase of $3,952,946 from the net cash expended in operating activities of $3,416,223 for the same period in 2019. The increase is principally due to the change in prepaid expenses, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and non-cash expense items.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash expended in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 totaled $1,720,262, which was a change of $6,504,550 from the net cash generated by financing activities of $4,784,288 for the same period in 2019. The change is principally due to the IPO proceeds received in 2019, increase in payments on financing lease obligations in 2020 and repayments of notes payable in 2019.
Current Plan of Operations
Our plan of operations is currently focused on the growth and ongoing development of our operating businesses: (i) the Rideshare Platform, offered through Rideshare, and (ii) Fleet Management, made commercially available through Distinct Cars. We expect to incur substantial expenditures in the foreseeable future for the enhanced operations of our businesses and related, ongoing, internal research and development. Moreover, we have embarked on “EV strategy” in which we intend to replace our entire fleet of vehicles with all electric vehicles within a relatively short period of time. At this time, we cannot reliably estimate the nature, timing or aggregate amount of all of the costs associated with these.
The continuation of our current plan of operations may require us to raise significant additional capital within a short period of time. If we are successful in raising capital, we believe that the Company will have sufficient cash resources to fund its plan of operations. The cash flow from our Rideshare Platform and, especially, Fleet Management businesses and our existing capital resources are sufficient for us to continue our current operations, but for us to fully execute our business plan we will likely require significant additional capital.
We continually evaluate our plan of operations discussed above to determine the manner in which we can most effectively utilize our limited cash resources. The timing of completion of any aspect of our plan of operations is highly dependent upon the availability of cash to implement that aspect of the plan and other factors beyond our control. There is no assurance that we will successfully obtain the required capital or revenues, or, if obtained, that the amounts will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations. The inability to secure additional capital would have a material adverse effect on us, including the possibility that we would have to sell or forego a portion or all of our assets or cease operations. If we discontinue our operations, we will not have sufficient funds to pay any amounts to our stockholders.
Even if we raise additional capital in the near future, if our operating businesses fail to achieve anticipated financial results, our ability to raise additional capital in the future to fund our operations would likely be seriously impaired. If in the future we are not able to demonstrate favorable financial results or projections from our operating businesses, we will not be able to raise the capital we need to continue our then current business operations and business activities, and we will likely not have sufficient liquidity or cash resources to continue operating.
Because our working capital requirements depend upon numerous factors there can be no assurance that our current cash resources will be sufficient to fund our operations. At present, we have no committed external sources of capital, and do not expect any significant product revenues for the foreseeable future. Thus, we will require immediate additional financing to fund future operations. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to obtain funds on acceptable terms, if at all.
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies
The Company has entered into a series of monthly vehicle leasing agreements with ACME Auto Leasing and LMP Financial Services, each with an approximate lease term of 12 to 36 months. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had total lease obligations in the amount of $2,352,878 and $2,400,565, respectively. The Company owes monthly payments under each Lease Agreement ranging from approximately $285 per month to $621 per month. At the end of the term of the Lease Agreement, lessee has the right to purchase ownership and title of the subject vehicle for a nominal payment. In addition, the Lease Agreements are subject to and secured by a grant of a purchase money security interest on each leased vehicle.
We lease and maintain our principal offices at 433 North Camden Drive, Suite 600, Beverly Hills, California 90210. We also lease and maintain other offices at 195 South Robertson Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, where the majority of our operational staff conducts its activities on a day-to-day basis. We do not currently own any real estate.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
In the ordinary course of our business, we are not exposed to market risk of the sort that may arise from changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates, or that may otherwise arise from transactions in derivatives.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. Preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. In many instances, we could have reasonably used different accounting estimates and in other instances changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. This applies in particular to useful lives of non-current assets and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving our judgments and estimates.
Equipment and Rental Vehicles
Equipment and Rental Vehicles are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of equipment and rental vehicles is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives as follows:
The Company has not changed its estimate for the useful lives of its equipment and rental vehicles, but would expect that a decrease in the estimated useful lives of equipment and rental vehicles of one year would result in an annual increase to depreciation expense of approximately $450,000, and an increase in the estimated useful lives of equipment and rental vehicles of one year would result in an annual decrease to depreciation expense of approximately $300,000.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company has not changed it methodology for estimating the valuation allowance. A change in valuation allowance affect earnings in the period the adjustments are made and could be significant due to the large valuation allowance currently established.
Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from renting its fleet of cars to ridesharing and delivery gig drivers. Revenue is recognized based on the rental agreements which are generally on a weekly basis. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts with Customers.
We consider a signed contract or other similar documentation reflecting the terms and conditions under which products will be provided to be persuasive evidence of an arrangement. Collectability is assessed based on a number of factors, including payment history and the creditworthiness of a customer. If it is determined that collection is not reasonably assured, revenue is not recognized until collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value at the grant date and recognize the expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management, in consultation with its legal counsel as appropriate, assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company, in consultation with legal counsel, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures are, without limitation, also intended to ensure that such information is gathered and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to facilitate timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, to assess the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2020. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, at December 31, 2020, such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. We elaborate on the basis for this conclusion in the discussion contained in our “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” below.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Our CEO and CFO have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this Report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of a control issue described herein; however, it is possible that this evaluation failed to identify other control issues that would have reinforced this conclusion, and for which we have not yet initiated any remedial action.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As required by SEC rules and regulations for the implementation of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our consolidated financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2020. In making these assessments, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission COSO (2013 framework). Based on our assessments and those criteria, management determined that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2020.
Our management has determined that our internal control over financial reporting contains a material weakness. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within our accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets, and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management weighed the impact of our failure to have a proper segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the resulting control deficiency represented a material weakness.
To address this material weakness, management has performed procedures to ensure that the financial statements balances included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. In 2021, the Company plans to continue to hire additional accounting and finance staff to further address the material weakness identified herein. However, as of the date of this Report, this material weakness still exists and is the basis for our conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were, at December 31, 2020, and remain, not effective.

Mr. Sidhu has performed unclassified contracting work in components production in Mexico. Mr. Sidhu graduated as an electrical engineer in 1980 from Punjab University, India. Mr. Sidhu’s experience in human resources coupled with his business experience qualifies him to serve on our Board of Directors.
Douglas M. Mox has been one of our directors since January 2020. Mr. Mox has extensive experience in financial management and strategic planning, as well as logistics, engineering and operations. Since January 2013, Mr. Mox has been the Chief Operating Officer of Grace Thomas Investment, a private equity firm.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Board of Directors
The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) oversees our business affairs and monitors the performance of management. In accordance with our corporate governance principles, the Board of Directors does not involve itself in day-to-day operations of the Company. The directors keep themselves informed through discussions with the Chief Executive Officer, other key executives and by reading the reports and other materials that we send them and by participating in Board of Directors and committee meetings.
Term of Office
Each of our current directors, with the exception of our Executive Chairman Terren S. Peizer, was elected to the Board in January 2020 in accordance with Section 3 of the Company’s By-Laws. Mr. Peizer was appointed to the Board by a unanimous vote of the directors in connection with an expansion of the Board that was authorized in February 2021. Since the current term of office for each director is one year, and the Board has not yet scheduled an annual meeting of Company shareholders or arranged to take action by unanimous written consent of a majority of Company shareholders, each director other than Mr. Peizer may, as of the date of this Report, be considered a “holdover director.”
The Board size was recently expanded from five to seven members and the Board is currently working to fill the vacancies in its membership. Once the Board has been fully constituted, it intends to take action to elect its membership either at a meeting of Company shareholders or by unanimous written consent of a majority of Company shareholders.
Director Independence
Our Board of Directors is comprised of a majority of “independent directors” as defined under the rules of Nasdaq. Although we are not currently listed on Nasdaq or any other exchange, we use the definition of “independence” of Nasdaq to make this determination. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Nasdaq listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:
● the director is, or at any time during the past three (3) years was, an employee of the company;
● the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of twelve (12) consecutive months within the three (3) years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exemptions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);
● the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling shareholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exemptions);
● the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three (3) years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or
● the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three (3) years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.
Under such definitions, our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, our Board has determined that Douglas M. Mox, John P. O’Neill and Harbant S. Sidhu are all independent directors of the Company. However, our Common Stock is not currently quoted or listed on any national exchange or interdealer quotation system with a requirement that a majority of our Board be independent and, therefore, the Company is not subject to any director independence requirements.
Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight
The Board oversees our business and considers the risks associated with our business strategy and decisions. The Board currently implements its risk oversight function as a whole. Each of the Board committees, as set forth below, will also provide risk oversight in respect of its areas of concentration and reports material risks to the board for further consideration.
Board of Directors Meetings and Attendance
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the Board of Directors held 12 meetings. Each director attended all of these Board meetings.
Code of Ethics
Although we are not required to do so, as the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange in which an adopted Code of Ethics would be a listing requirement, our Board plans at some point to adopt a written code of business conduct and ethics (“Code”) that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. We intend to post on our website a current copy of the Code and all disclosures that are required by law in regard to any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the Code.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our Board has established an audit committee and a compensation committee. The composition and responsibilities of each of the committees of our Board is described below. Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until as otherwise determined by our board of directors.
Audit Committee
We have established an audit committee consisting of Douglas M. Mox and John P. O’Neill (the “Audit Committee”). The Audit Committee’s duties, which are specified in our Audit Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:
● reviewing and discussing with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements, and recommending to the board whether the audited financial statements should be included in our annual disclosure report;
● discussing with management and the independent auditor significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of our financial statements;
● discussing with management major risk assessment and risk management policies;
● monitoring the independence of the independent auditor;
● verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;
● reviewing and approving all related-party transactions;
● inquiring and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
● pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditor, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed;
● appointing or replacing the independent auditor;
● determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work;
● establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies; and
● approving reimbursement of expenses incurred by our management team in identifying potential target businesses.
The Audit Committee is composed exclusively of “independent directors” who are “financially literate” as defined under the Nasdaq listing standards we needed to comply with at the time of our initial public offering. The Nasdaq listing standards define “financially literate” as being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. However, neither of Messrs. Mox or O’Neill qualifies as an “Audit Committee financial expert,” as that term is defined in current SEC regulations. The Board size has recently been expanded and we expect that one if not more than one of our new directors to be added to the Board will so qualify. For now, the committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the Audit Committee held one meeting.
Compensation Committee
We have established a compensation committee of the Board of Directors, which consists of Harbant S. Sidhu and Stephen M. Sanchez, the former of whom is an independent director. Mr. Sidhu is also a non-employee director, as defined pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or Rule 16b-3, and an outside director, as defined pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, or Section 162(m). Mr. Sanchez is the chairman of the compensation committee. The compensation committee’s duties, which are specified in our Compensation Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:
● reviews, approves and determines, or makes recommendations to our board of directors regarding, the compensation of our executive officers;
● administers our equity compensation plans;
● reviews and approves, or makes recommendations to our board of directors, regarding incentive compensation and equity compensation plans; and
● establishes and reviews general policies relating to compensation and benefits of our employees.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the Compensation Committee held one meetings.
Nominating Committee
We do not currently have a nominating committee. Instead of having such a committee, our Board of Directors historically has searched for and evaluated qualified individuals to become nominees for membership on our Board of Directors. The directors recommend candidates for nomination for election or reelection and, as necessary, to fill vacancies and newly created directorships.
We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates which may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our Board of Directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. In the event such a proposal is made, all members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.
Non-Employee Director Compensation
Directors do not currently receive compensation for their services on the Board or on any Board committees.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among any of our officers or directors.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To our knowledge, none of our current directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:
● been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
● had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time;
● been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity;
● been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;
● been the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated (not including any settlement of a civil proceeding among private litigants), relating to an alleged violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
● been the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.
Except as set forth above and in our discussion below in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” none of our directors or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Shareholder Communications
Currently, we do not have a process for shareholders to send communications to the Board of Directors. To date, no shareholders have made any recommendations to us to adopt such a policy.
Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Based solely upon a review of copies of such forms filed on Forms 3, 4, and 5, and amendments thereto furnished to us, except as noted in the table below, we believe as of the date of this Report that our executive officers, directors and greater than 10 percent beneficial owners have filed on a timely basis all Section 16(a) reports required to be filed during the year ended December 31, 2020. To our knowledge, the failure to timely file each such report listed below was the result of an administrative error by the filer.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of EVmo, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EVmo, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of EVmo, Inc. as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United Sates) (“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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we were 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. According we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluation of 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.
Emphasis of a Matter-Risks and Uncertainties
As describe in Note 1, the COVID-19 virus could ultimately have a significant negative impact on the Company. The Company cannot at this time estimate the long-term effect of this unprecedented situation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For Year Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization and Line of Business
EVmo, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on June 21, 2016 under the laws of the state of Delaware originally as a limited liability company and subsequently changed to a C corporation. The Company was originally incorporated under the name of YayYo, Inc. and changed its name to Rideshare Rental, Inc. on September 11, 2020. On March 1, 2021, the Company changed its name from Rideshare Rental, Inc. to EVmo, Inc. The accompanying financial statements are retroactively restated to present the Company as a C corporation from June 21, 2016. The Company rents vehicles to Uber and Lyft drivers and drivers in the gig-ecomony.
Basis of Presentation
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
Risk and Uncertainties
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus surfaced in China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic”. The governors of New York, California and several other states, as well as mayors on many cities, have ordered their residents to cease traveling to non-essential jobs and to curtail all unnecessary travel, and to stay in their homes as much as possible in the coming weeks, as the nation confronts the escalating coronavirus outbreak, and similar restrictions have been recommended by the federal authorities and authorities in many other states and cities. Since the beginning of 2020 and the spread of COVID-19, rideshare companies have increasingly been negatively impacted. As Americans practice social distancing and self-isolation, Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare companies have seen a steep decline in ridership and revenue, as a result. Given that rideshare drivers are both at risk themselves and of risk to the public, and in addition to decreased demand overall, less people are even still driving. The Company has seen a decline in revenue during the first half of 2020 which is having a negative impact on the cash flows of the business, but saw a positive upward movement in revenue during the second half of 2020. The Company has seen increased demand from drivers wanting to rent cars for ridesharing purposes and new drivers renting cars for both rideshare and delivery gig economy. The Company is not able to predict the ultimate impact that COVID -19 will have on its business. If another lockdown were to occur, the Company could be forced to significantly scale back its business operations and its growth plans, and could ultimately have a significant negative impact on the Company. The Company cannot at this time estimate the long term effect of this unprecedented situation on the rideshare market or delivery gig economy in general or the Company in particular.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Distinct Cars, LLC and RideShare Car Rentals, LLC. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is possible that accounting estimates and assumptions may be material to the Company due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment involved.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For Year Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificate of deposits, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.
Equipment and Rental Vehicles
Equipment and Rental Vehicles are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of equipment and rental vehicles is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives as follows:
Long-Lived Assets
The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review at December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company determined that no impairment charge was necessary.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from renting its fleet of cars to ridesharing and delivery gig drivers. Revenue is recognized based on the rental agreements which are generally on a weekly basis. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts with Customers.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For Year Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value at the grant date and recognize the expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees. There were 1,631,250 warrants and 2,540,000 options outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 1,631,250 warrants and 300,000 options outstanding as of December 31, 2019.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the assumption that all dilutive securities are converted. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. There were 4,171,250 and 1,931,250 potentially dilutive securities outstanding at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $490,403 and $765,441, respectively.
Research and Development Costs
The Company expenses its research and development costs as incurred. Research and developments costs for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $0 and $13,500, respectively.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASC 820-10 defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
● Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
● Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
● Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
For certain financial instruments, the carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and current liabilities, including convertible notes payable, each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For Year Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not identify any liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2018-07, Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services and aligns most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. ASU 2018-07 is effective on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on its financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes which amends ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). This update is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application of ASC 740. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The guidance in this update has various elements, some of which are applied on a prospective basis and others on a retrospective basis with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)-Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. For convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain conditions that should be considered in the derivatives scope exception evaluation under Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and clarify the scope and certain requirements under Subtopic 815-40. In addition, ASU 2020-06 improves the guidance related to the disclosures and earnings-per-share (EPS) for convertible instruments and contract in entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Board specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluation the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

Note 9 - Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A full valuation allowance is established against all net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 based on estimates of recoverability. While the Company has optimistic plans for its business strategy, it determined that such a valuation allowance was necessary given the current and expected near term losses and the uncertainty with respect to its ability to generate sufficient profits from its business model. Because of the impacts of the valuation allowance, there was no income tax expense or benefit for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
A reconciliation of the differences between the effective and statutory income tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:
At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the significant components of the deferred tax assets are summarized below:
The valuation allowance increased by $644,665 and $1,081,921 in 2020 and 2019, respectively, as a result of the Company generating additional net operating losses.
The Company has recorded as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 a valuation allowance of $3,224,084 and $2,549,418, respectively, as it believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized in future years. Management has based its assessment on the Company’s lack of profitable operating history.
The Company conducts an analysis of its tax positions and has concluded that it has no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
The Company has net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $11,300,000. Such amounts are subject to IRS code section 382 limitations and expire in 2031. The 2018, 2019 and 2020 tax year is still subject to audit.

The Company is currently not aware of any legal proceedings or potential claims against it whose outcome would be likely, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows.

Anthony Davis v. EVmo, Inc. (formerly YayYo, Inc.), and Ramy El-Batrawi
This action was filed on March 5, 2020, in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles. Plaintiff Anthony Davis acted as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer from approximately December 2016 through April 2017. Mr. El-Batrawi is the founder of the Company and its former Chief Executive Officer and director, and was involved, the complaint alleges, in Mr. Davis’s hiring and termination after a brief tenure as CEO. As part of his severance compensation, Mr. Davis was granted stock options to purchase shares of Common Stock. Mr. Davis claims that the Company breached its agreement to award him these stock options and includes a claim for wage and hour violations. The lawsuit also seeks declaratory and injunctive relief. Mr. Davis also included a claim under the California Unfair Practices Act. The Company has denied all liability, asserts that it has paid Mr. Davis all amounts due to him under his separation agreement with the Company, and has vigorously defended this lawsuit. The Company has filed a demurrer in connection with this litigation and that demurrer is expected to be resolved at a hearing in May 2021. If the case is not dismissed at that time, the Company will conduct discovery and file a motion for summary judgment.
In Re YayYo Securities Litigation
Two actions styled as securities class actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, on September 9, 2020 (Hamlin v. YayYo) and September 18, 2020, respectively (Koch v. YayYo et al). The plaintiffs to each action individually alleged misrepresentations and material omissions in the registration statement on Form S-1 that the Company filed with the SEC in connection with its initial public offering, which was declared effective on November 13, 2019, claiming violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act. Each purported action involved securities class action claims. The district court consolidated the two actions, and the Hamlin action was since dismissed. The district court indicated in its order consolidating the actions that the new caption for the case would be “In Re YayYo Securities Litigation.” The Company filed an answer, denying liability and asserted that it accurately and completely disclosed all material facts and occurrences, including adverse ones, in its registration statement, related public filings and other public statements, and further asserted that the alleged violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act are baseless. Each of the parties to this litigation has mutually agreed to request a stay of the proceedings pending a mediation that is tentatively scheduled for April 29, 2021 in which a global settlement, also involving the plaintiff class representative identified in the case described immediately below,
Michael Vanbecelaere v. YayYo, Inc, et al.
Two actions styled as securities class actions were filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, on July 22, 2020 and July 23, 2020, respectively. The plaintiffs to each action individually alleged misrepresentations and material omissions in the registration statement on Form S-1 that the Company filed with the SEC in connection with its initial public offering, which was declared effective on November 13, 2019, claiming violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act. Each action purported to bring a securities class action against the Company; one of the two lawsuits was dismissed on the basis that the lead plaintiff in one of the actions was not a suitable class representative, and that plaintiff later joined the lawsuit brought by the other one. In its answer, the Company denied liability and asserted that it accurately and completely disclosed all material facts and occurrences, including adverse ones, in its registration statement, related public filings and other public statements, and further asserted that the alleged violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act are baseless. Each of the parties to this litigation has mutually agreed to request a stay of the proceedings pending a mediation that is tentatively scheduled for April 29, 2021, which will also include the parties to the action described immediately above.

Uptick Capital, LLC v. EVmo, Inc. (formerly YayYo, Inc.)
On March 5, 2021, Uptick Capital, LLC (“Uptick”), filed an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) alleging breach of contract with respect to an Advisory Agreement that Uptick asserts it entered into with the Company on August 7, 2017. The claim filed with the AAA alleges that “pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, Uptick was entitled to receive $2,500 per month for three months” plus “an issuance of restricted shares of $50,000 worth of YayYo common stock in exchange for providing certain consulting services to YayYo.” The agreement, according to the demand, was renewed once. The Company has not yet formally responded to the arbitration claim but denies liability and intends to vigorously defend this arbitration on the basis that Uptick failed to comply with the contract. It is unknown what the potential liabilities are but, as of the date of this Report, the Company believes they should not exceed $10,000 in cash and $100,000 worth of stock.
