ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
Corporate History
We were incorporated under the name Jam Run Acquisition Corporation on July 2, 2013 in the State of Delaware. From inception through early February 2014, we were a blank check company and qualified as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act which became law in April, 2012, with a business plan of entering into a transaction with a foreign or domestic private company in order for that company to become a reporting company as part of the process toward the public trading of its stock.
On February 6, 2014, we issued 9,700,000 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 97% of our then-outstanding shares to Laurence Wainer for $1,970. In connection with this transaction, we changed our name Blow & Drive Interlock Corporation and Mr. Wainer became our sole officer and director.
On March 7, 2017, we entered into an Debt Conversion and Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Mr. Wainer, one of our officers and directors at that time, under which we agreed to create a new series of non-convertible preferred stock entitled “Series A Preferred Stock,” with One Million (1,000,000) shares authorized and the following rights: (i) no dividend rights; (ii) no liquidation preference over the Company’s common stock; (iii) no conversion rights; (iv) no redemption rights; (v) no call rights by the Company; (vi) each share of Series A Convertible Preferred stock will have one hundred (100) votes on all matters validly brought to the Company’s common stockholders; and Mr. Wainer agreed to acquire 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, once created, in exchange for Mr. Wainer forgiving $25,537 in accrued salary we owed to him as of December 31, 2016. The Series A Preferred Stock was created with the State of Delaware by filing a Certificate of Designation on March 13, 2017. The description of the SPA set forth in this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of that document, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.26 and is incorporated herein by reference.
On January 2, 2019, Mr. Wainer closed the transaction that was the subject of an Agreement to Purchase Common Stock and Preferred Stock (the “Agreement”) between Mr. Wainer and The Doheny Group, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Doheny Group”), under which Doheny Group acquired 8,924,000 shares of our common stock (the “Common Shares”) and One Million (1,000,000) shares of our Series A Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares” and together with the Common Shares, the “Shares”), from Mr. Wainer in exchange for $30,000. Combined, the Shares represent approximately 84% of our outstanding voting rights. Mr. David Haridim is the principal of Doheny and was appointed to our Board of Directors and as our sole executive officer. We were a party to the Agreement solely for the purpose of acknowledging certain representations and warranties about the company in the Agreement. The description of the Agreement set forth in this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of that document, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.20 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Our offices are located at 1427 S. Robertson Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90035, telephone number (877) 238-4492.
Business Overview
General
We manufacture, market, lease, install and monitor a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID) we developed known as the BDI-747 Ignition Interlock Device (the “BDI-747/1”), which is a mechanism that is installed on the steering column of an automobile and into which a driver exhales prior to starting their vehicle. The device in turn provides a blood-alcohol concentration analysis. If the driver’s blood-alcohol content is higher than a certain pre-programmed limit, the device prevents the ignition from engaging and the automobile from starting. These devices are often required for use by DUI or DWI (“driving under the influence” or “driving while intoxicated”) offenders as part of a mandatory court or motor vehicle department program. The BDI-747/1 has met the 2013 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) guidelines for Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Devices [Federal Register Volume 78, Number 89] as an authorized BAIID [Element Materials Technology/Report # ESP018444P June 17, 2015]. The BDI-747/1 is manufactured by BDI Manufacturing Inc., a subsidiary of Blow & Drive Interlock, Inc., from parts and supplies from C4 Development Ltd.
The primary market for the BDI-747/1 Ignition Interlock Device is as a breathalyzer device to be used by persons convicted of a driving under the influence of alcohol. In order for the BDI-747/1 to be used in states for persons convicted of driving under the influence the device must be approved by each individual state. The process to get the device approved varies greatly state-to-state. As of December 31, 2017, the BDI-747/1 was approved for use in five states, namely Oregon, Texas, Arizona, Kentucky, and Tennessee. As of December 31, 2018, the BDI-747/1 device was approved in Oregon, Texas, Arizona, and Kentucky. As of March 31, 2019, the BDI-747/1 device was only approved in Arizona and Texas. The states where our BDI-747/1 device is approved has decreased primarily as a result of new state certification rules that require increased capital investment that we are not to afford.
In states where the BDI-747/1 is approved as a BAIID, we lease the BDI-747/1 devices to offenders, typically for twelve months, but the time could differ on a case-by-case basis depending on the sentence received by the offender. In some states we market, lease, install and support the devices directly and in other states we sell distributorships to authorized distributors allowing them to lease, install, service, remove and support the BDI-747/1 devices. Currently, we lease the devices directly in the states we are approved, except West Phoenix, Arizona and Lubbock, Texas, where we have licensed distributors that lease the devices.
In states where we lease the devices directly to consumers, we typically charge between $89-$189 in upfront fees for the user (which covers one month of the lease payment), and then between $69-$89/month for the other eleven months of the lease for the typical one year lease. The lease payment covers the installation of the device in the consumer’s vehicle, the rental of the device, recalibration of the device as required by each state (typically every 30 to 60 days) and the monitoring services for the device, which are then reported to the state in accordance with each state’s requirements. In states and areas where we do not have a direct presence, which we only have in Phoenix, Arizona, we contract with independent service centers, such as car alarm installation companies or other auto services companies, to perform the installations of our BDI-747/1 device, which centers must be approved by the states in which we perform the installations. Because our devices are installed in consumers’ vehicles are part of a judicially-mandated program, and since the use of the device controls the individual’s driving privileges, collection rates of the monthly leasing fees is close to 100%. The failure to make the payment could be a violation of the consumer’s sentence or probation and could cause them to lose the device and their driving privileges.
In areas where we have a distributor, in our typical distributorship arrangement, we charge the distributor a flat fee distributorship territory fee up front (which fee varies based on the size and location of the distributorship), a $150 per unit registration fee, and then a $35 monthly fee for each device the distributor has in its inventory. These fees may vary on a case-by-case basis. The relationship with our distributors may either be on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis depending upon the location of the distributorship and the fees charged.
As of December 31, 2017, we had approximately 1,558 units on the road, with approximately 1,451 devices being leased directly from us and approximately 107 devices leased through our distributors, compared to December 31, 2016, when we had approximately 1,075 units on the road, with approximately 327 devices being leased directly from us and approximately 748 devices leased through our distributors. Notably, as of December 31, 2018, we had approximately 1,100 units on the road, with approximately 885 devices being leased directly from us and approximately 215 devices leased through our distributors. The decrease in the total number of devices we have on the road is primarily due to the fact the BDI-747/1 devices was approved in fewer states in 2018 compared to 2017.
Due to the decrease in the number of states where our BDI-747/1 device is approved, and the resulting decrease in the number of devices we have on the road, our management is currently exploring all options related to our business, including, but not limited to: (i) taking out loans or selling our stock in order to raise money to continue, and try to expand, our current business; (ii) trying to acquire a synergistic business and grow our current business; or (iii) selling our current business and trying to find another business to, in or out of our current business segment, to take over the public corporation.

Principal Products and Services
Our only product is the BDI-747/1 Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device. The BDI-747/1 device is used to detect alcohol in a person’s system by measuring the level of alcohol in a person’s breath by having them blow into the device and determining whether that level is over or under a preset level set by the installer or a trained technician. The pre-determined level differs by state, but is typically around .02. The device is approximately the size of a smartphone which is installed directly onto a vehicle’s steering column. The device requires the driver to exhale into the device prior to starting the vehicle. The device will prevent the vehicle from starting if the driver’s blood-alcohol content exceeds the predetermined set level.

The BDI-747/1 unit takes about 30-45 minutes to install in a vehicle, depending on the vehicle. The ignition interlock component is installed on the steering column. Currently, our cost to order the requisite supplies and assemble the BDI-747/1 units is approximately $350-$500 per unit depending on the specifications of the unit. The device requires recalibration in accordance with state requirements, typically every 30 to 60 days.
Marketing
In 2017, most of our marketing consisted of getting approval for our BDI-747/1 device in as many states as possible. By gaining approval in a state our BDI-747/1 device appears on that state’s list of approved breathalyzer ignition interlock devices. Someone convicted of driving under the influence that is required to use a breathalyzer ignition interlock device must choose one from the list of state-approved devices. As a result, by gaining approvals in states, our device is automatically disseminated to our targeted consumers by the state. In addition to trying to obtain approvals in as many states as we can, our other marketing efforts related to our BDI-747/1 device have largely consisted of speaking with various individuals and companies that are in the breathalyzer ignition interlock device industry, such as companies in the business of conducting educational courses for individuals convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol, companies in the business of installing ignition interlock devices, and individuals involved in the approval process for breathalyzer ignition interlock devices.
In addition to marketing our BDI-747/1 device directly to consumers, we have also marketed our distributorship opportunities to various individuals and companies that are in the breathalyzer ignition interlock device industry. In the past, the efforts have included radio and television advertisements of our distributorship program. Although we are not currently running any radio or television advertisements for our distributorship program, we may do so again in the future. We have also discussed these opportunities with various companies and individuals in the industry, similar to what we have done with our marketing of our BDI-747/1 device.
Manufacturing
We are the primary manufacturer of our BDI-747/1 device, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, BDI Manufacturing, Inc., an Arizona corporation. However, we do utilize a supply and assembly company called C4 Development Ltd., a Hong Kong corporation (“C4 Development”). On June 29, 2015, we entered into a Supply Agreement with C4 Development, under which C4 Development supplies us with a part known as the “PCB with Alcohol Tester.” This device has certain parts utilized in our BDI-747/1 device, but the PCB with Alcohol Tester is not a device, by itself, that is capable of obtaining approval from the NHTSA as a breath alcohol interlock device. Once we obtain these parts for a device from C4 Development, we compile the components to the devices at our facility in Phoenix, Arizona in order to create our BDI-747/1 device.
Competition
The business of breathalyzer ignition interlock device industry is competitive, and from time-to-time new companies may appear on the list of approved providers in various states, however, there is a high barrier to entry due to the cost of development fees, manufacturing fees, NHSTA-approved testing, and state field testing. We compete with a number of successful companies in the industry, including, but not limited to, LifeSafer®, Smart Start®, Intoxalock®, Guardian Interlock Systems and Dräger. These larger companies have greater financial resources than we do, have approval in most (if not all) states, and likely have 50,000 of their respective ignition interlock devices on the road each. By comparison as of March 31, 2019, we were approved in two states and had approximately 1,100 units on the road. Although we believe our BDI-747/1 device compares favorably to the interlock devices provided by our competitors, we will need to raise significant capital and gain approval in most states in order capitalize on our BDI-747/1 device. We believe if we do this we will be able to compete better with these larger competitors.
Due to the state approvals necessary to service the judicially-mandated breath analyzer ignition interlock market we believe there is a barrier to entry that will discourage too many other companies from entering the industry. Not only must a new entrant develop and manufacture a breathalyzer device, it must meet the NHTSA requirements, and then get approved by state regulators, all of which can be costly. The complexities and costs of meeting all these steps should keep new entrants into the industry to a minimum.
Intellectual Property
We currently have a utility patent for our BDI Model #1 power line filter, which is used with our BDI-747 Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device to prevent interference from electromagnetic waves. Although we do not have any other formal intellectual property protection over our BDI-747/1 device (such as device patents or trademarks), we do have general intellectual property protections provided by federal and state laws that prohibit unfair business practices, etc.
Government Regulation
Ignition interlock devices must be certified by the states in which a company intends to market and lease the devices. Before applying for certification to any state, the devices are sent to an independent laboratory for testing and certification that the device meets or exceeds the guidelines published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as the Model Specifications for Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Devices. Each state has its own set of certification guidelines that must be met. Typically the requirements for state certification are met once the device is certified by an independent laboratory as meeting or exceeding the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s published guidelines.
Our BDI-747/1 device was certified by an independent testing laboratory in June 2015. As of December 31, 2017, the BDI-747/1 was approved for use in five states, namely Oregon, Texas, Arizona, Kentucky, and Tennessee. As of December 31, 2018, the BDI-747/1 device was approved in Oregon, Texas, Arizona, and Kentucky. As of March 31, 2019, the BDI-747/1 device was only approved in Arizona and Texas.
Employees
As of December 31, 2017, we had seven independent contractors, which primarily install, calibrate, remove and monitor our BDI-747/1 devices. Mr. Laurence Wainer, our President and Secretary at December 31, 2017, was an independent contractor. At December 31, 2017, we had approximately 35 installers and technicians working in the states where we approved that are independent contractors.
As of December 31, 2018, we had four independent contractors, which primarily install, calibrate, remove and monitor our BDI-747/1 devices. Mr. Laurence Wainer, our President and Secretary at December 31, 2018, was an independent contractor. We have approximately 25 installers and technicians working in the states where we approved that are independent contractors.

ITEM 1A.
ITEM 1A. - RISK FACTORS.
As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide a statement of risk factors. However, we believe this information may be valuable to our shareholders for this filing. We reserve the right to not provide risk factors in our future filings. Our primary risk factors and other considerations include:
We have a limited operating history and historical financial information upon which you may evaluate our performance.
You should consider, among other factors, our prospects for success in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies that, like us, are in their early stages of development. We may not successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully implement our existing and new products. If we fail to do so, it could materially harm our business and impair the value of our common stock. Even if we accomplish these objectives, we may not generate the positive cash flows or profits we anticipate in the future. We were incorporated in Delaware on July 2, 2013. Our business to date business focused on developing, manufacturing, and getting independent certification and state approvals for our BDI-747/1 device, hiring management and staff personnel, contracting with distributors and leasing and servicing our products. Unanticipated problems, expenses and delays are frequently encountered in establishing a new business and developing new products. These include, but are not limited to, inadequate funding, lack of consumer acceptance, competition, product development, and inadequate sales and marketing. The failure by us to meet any of these conditions would have a materially adverse effect upon us and may force us to reduce or curtail operations. No assurance can be given that we can or will ever operate profitably.
We may not be able to meet our future capital needs.
To date, we have not generated sufficient revenue to meet our capital needs, and we may not be able to in the future. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our ability to develop our products, cash flow from operations, and competing market developments. We will need additional capital in the near future. Any equity financings will result in dilution to our then-existing stockholders. Sources of debt financing may result in high interest expense. Any financing, if available, may be on unfavorable terms. If adequate funds are not obtained, we will be required to reduce or curtail operations.
If we cannot obtain additional funding, our product development and commercialization efforts may be reduced or discontinued and we may not be able to continue operations.
We have historically experienced negative cash flows from operations since our inception and we expect the negative cash flows from operations to continue for the foreseeable future. Unless and until we are able to generate higher revenues, we expect such losses to continue for the foreseeable future. As discussed in our financial statements, there exists substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
Product manufacturing and development efforts are highly dependent on the amount of cash and cash equivalents on hand combined with our ability to raise additional capital to support our future operations through one or more methods, including but not limited to, issuing additional equity or debt.
In addition, we may also raise additional capital through additional equity offerings, and licensing our future products in development. While we will continue to explore these potential opportunities, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in raising sufficient capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all, or that we will be successful in licensing our future products. Based on our current projections, we believe we have insufficient cash on hand to meet our obligations as they become due based on current assumptions. The uncertainties surrounding our future cash inflows have raised substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
Current economic conditions and capital markets are in a period of disruption and instability which could adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets, and thus adversely affect our business and liquidity.
The current economic conditions and financial crisis have had, and will continue to have, a negative impact on our ability to access the capital markets, and thus have a negative impact on our business and liquidity. The shortage of liquidity and credit combined with the substantial losses in worldwide equity markets could lead to an extended worldwide recession. We may face significant challenges if conditions in the capital markets do not improve. Our ability to access the capital markets has been and continues to be severely restricted at a time when we need to access such markets, which could have a negative impact on our business plans. Even if we are able to raise capital, it may not be at a price or on terms that are favorable to us. We cannot predict the occurrence of future disruptions or how long the current conditions may continue.
Because we face intense competition, we may not be able to operate profitably in our markets.
The market for our product is highly competitive and is becoming more so, which could hinder our ability to successfully market our products. We may not have the resources, expertise or other competitive factors to compete successfully in the future. We expect to face additional competition from existing competitors and new market entrants in the future. Many of our competitors have greater name recognition and more established relationships in the industry than we do. As a result, these competitors may be able to:
●develop and expand their product offerings more rapidly;
●adapt to new or emerging changes in customer requirements more quickly;
●take advantage of acquisition and other opportunities more readily; and
●devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products and adopt more aggressive pricing policies than we can.
If our products do not gain state approvals, are removed in jurisdictions where previously approved, and/or do not meet expected market acceptance, prospects for our sales revenue may be affected.
We use the BDI-747/1 device in the judicially-mandated market for DUI offenders. The judicially-mandated market is where a breathalyzer device is required by law as a punishment for the committing a crime. As a result, sales and servicing of our product is dependent upon us gaining approval in each individual state and/or locality where we want to lease our products. This result can be expensive and time-consuming and there is no guarantee we will be successful in obtaining approval in all the states where we apply and if we don’t get approval in a sufficient number of states the market for our products will suffer. Additionally, even if we gain state approval, there is no guarantee our products will stay as an approved device (we could get our approval revoked in one or more states) or will be chosen by a sufficient number of DUI offenders in those states to provide us with sufficient revenues to pay our expenses.
We plan to lease the BDI-747/1 device in many states through third-party distributors. If we are unsuccessful in finding qualified distributors or our distributors do not perform well, our business could suffer.
While we have a retail location in Phoenix, Arizona, and may open more in the future, under our current business plan we plan to lease the BDI-747/1 device through third-party distributors in many regions and states. If we are unable to find qualified distributors in certain regions and/or states, and/or the distributors we contract with do not perform well, then we may not lease and service as many of our BDI-747/1 devices as we anticipate, and our business would suffer as a result.
If critical components become unavailable or our suppliers delay their production of our key components, our business will be negatively impacted.
Currently, we rely on a primary supplier to supply us with the primary components for our BDI-747/1 device, which we then use to complete the assembly at our location in Phoenix, Arizona. As a result, the stability of component supply is crucial to our ability to get sufficient supplies to manufacture our products. Due to the fact we currently assemble our device from “off the shelf” parts and components, some of our critical devices and components are supplied by certain third-party manufacturers, and we may be unable to acquire necessary amounts of key components at competitive prices.
If we are successful in our growth, outsourcing the production of certain parts and components would be one way to reduce manufacturing costs. We plan to select these particular manufacturers based on their ability to consistently produce these products according to our requirements in an effort to obtain the best quality product at the most cost effective price. However, the loss of all or one of these suppliers or delays in obtaining shipments would have an adverse effect on our operations until an alternative supplier could be found, if one may be located at all. If we get to that stage of growth, such loss of manufacturers could cause us to breach any contracts we have in place at that time and would likely cause us to lose sales.
If our contract manufacturers fail to meet our requirements for quality, quantity and timeliness, our business growth could be harmed.
We obtain the primary components for the BDI-747/1 device from a third party supplier. This supplier likely procures most of the raw materials to make our device from third parties. If these companies were to terminate their agreements with our supplier, or our supplier with us, without adequate notice, or fail to provide the required capacity and quality on a timely basis, we would be delayed in our ability or unable to process and deliver our products to our customers.
Our products could contain defects or they may be installed or operated incorrectly, which could reduce sales of those products or result in claims against us.
Although we have quality assurance practices to ensure good product quality, defects still may be found in the future in our future products.
End-users could lose their confidence in our products and us if they unexpectedly use defective products or use our products improperly. This could result in loss of revenue, loss of profit margin, or loss of market share. Moreover, because our products may be employed in the automotive industry, if one of our products is a cause, or perceived to be the cause, of injury or death in a car accident, we would likely be subject to a claim. If we were found responsible it could cause us to incur liability which could interrupt or even cause us to terminate some or all of our operations.
If we are unable to recruit and retain qualified personnel, our business could be harmed.
Our growth and success highly depend on qualified personnel. Competition in the industry could cause us difficulty in recruiting or retaining a sufficient number of qualified technical personnel, which could harm our ability to develop new products. If we are unable to attract and retain necessary key talents, it would harm our ability to develop competitive product and retain good customers and could adversely affect our business and operating results.
Our BDI-747/1 device has lost its approval in a number of states and our number of devices on the road has been declining. At some point our business may not be viable. Our management is currently exploring all options regarding our current business, as well as other businesses.
Due to the decrease in the number of states where our BDI-747/1 device is approved, and the resulting decrease in the number of devices we have on the road, our management is currently exploring all options related to our business, including, but not limited to: (i) taking out loans or selling our stock in order to raise money to continue, and try to expand, our current business; (ii) trying to acquire a synergistic business and grow our current business; or (iii) selling our current business and trying to find another business to, in or out of our current business segment, to take over the public corporation. In the event we take out loans to fund our operations and/or public filing requirements, the terms of such financing may be on terms not favorable to us and could lead to a significant decrease in our stock price. In the event we sell our existing business or undergo a merger or business combination transaction our shareholders could incur significant dilution due to shares of our stock being issued to any incoming business.
As of December 31, 2017, our internal controls were not effective which led to material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting and, as a result, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or timely and in the future could have a problem to detecting fraud, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
An effective internal control environment is necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and is an important part of our effort to prevent financial fraud. We are required to periodically evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls over financial reporting. Based on these evaluations, we may conclude that enhancements, modifications, or changes to internal controls are necessary or desirable. While management evaluates the effectiveness of our internal controls on a regular basis, these controls may not always be effective, and as of December 31, 2017 they were not effective. There are inherent limitations on the effectiveness of internal controls, including collusion, management override, and failure of human judgment. In addition, control procedures are designed to reduce rather than eliminate business risks. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, or if management or our independent registered public accounting firm discovers material weaknesses in our internal controls, we may be unable to produce reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, including subjecting us to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any such actions could result in an adverse reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could cause the market price of our common stock to decline or limit our access to capital.
Our common stock has been thinly traded and we cannot predict the extent to which a trading market will develop.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink-tier of OTC Markets. Our common stock is thinly traded compared to larger more widely known companies. Thinly traded common stock can be more volatile than common stock trading in an active public market. We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for our common stock will develop or be sustained after this offering.
Because we are subject to the “penny stock” rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced.
Our common stock is traded on the OTC Markets. Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks, like shares of our common stock, generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on NASDAQ. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. Consequently, these requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security subject to the penny stock rules, and investors in our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares.

ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES
As of December 31, 2017, our executive offices, consisted of approximately 1,200 square feet, were located at 5503 Cahuenga Blvd., #203, Los Angeles, California 91601. Under our lease of these premises, we were paying $2,212 per month and the lease was to run through January 2020, but this lease was transferred to another entity when Mr. Wainer sold his controlling interest to Doheny Group, LLC, a limited liability company controlled by David Haridim, our sole officer and director.
As of January 2, 2019, our executive offices are located at 1427 S. Robertson Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90035, and we have this location rent free from our executive officer.
As of January 2, 2019, our manufacturing facility is located at 2352 E. University Drive, Suite D-105, Phoenix, AZ 85034, under the terms of a two year lease that ran from October 31, 2016 to October 31, 2018, at $1,030 per month. Beginning in November 2018 the lease went to month-to-month at $1,696 per month.
ITEM 3
ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On February 21, 2018, we filed a Complaint in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona, County of Maricopa against EZ Interlock, LLC (Blow & Drive Interlock Corp. v. EZ Interlock, LLC (Case No. CV2018-051689, Superior Court of the State of Arizona, Maricopa County) for Conversion, Implied/Quasi Contract and Quantum Meruit, Unjust Enrichment, Tortious Interference with Business Expectancy/Prospective Business Relations, and Lost Profits. The basis for our lawsuit was that EZ Interlock an authorized installer of ours in the State of Arizona, was a customer of BDI Interlock, LLC, one of our distributors, and EZ Interlock was installing our BDI-747/1 devices for customers in Arizona and collecting fees from such customers, but stopped remitting payment to BDI Interlock, LLC, which, in turn, was unable to remit funds to us. We filed the lawsuit to have EZ Interlock stop installing our devices, return our devices in its possession, and pay the amounts owed to BDI Interlock and us for the customers paying EZ Interlock for our devices. EZ Interlock filed an Answer and Counterclaim on July 23, 2018. Shortly after filing our Complaint, the Court granted our request for a Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction from continuing to install devices and return the devices in its possession. On February 7, 2019, our new management elected to dismiss the lawsuit, without prejudice, based on their opinion that our chances of recovering money from EZ Interlock was slim compared to amount that would be necessary to fund the litigation. We received most of our devices back from EZ Interlock. No discovery was conducted during the litigation.
In the ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations. However, in the opinion of our management, other than as set forth herein, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Overview and Outlook
We are a previous development stage company that was incorporated in the State of Delaware in July 2013. In the year ending December 31, 2017, we generated total revenues of $1,235,433, compared to $303,765 in the year ending December 31, 2016.
We market distributorships and lease a breath alcohol ignition interlock device called the BDI-747/1, which is a mechanism that is installed on the steering column of an automobile and into which a driver exhales. The device in turn provides a blood-alcohol concentration analysis. If the driver’s blood-alcohol content is higher than a certain pre-programmed limit, the device prevents the ignition from engaging and the automobile from starting. These devices are often required for use by DUI or DWI (“driving under the influence” or “driving while intoxicated”) offenders as part of a mandatory court or motor vehicle department program.
We paid Well Electric, a company located in China with experience in design and manufacture of ignition interlock devices, $30,000 to design and manufacture the prototype ignition interlock device for us. Well Electric produced six prototype devices for us which we received in November 2014.
At July 27, 2015 we began production of our patent pending BDI Model #1 power line filter to attach to our BDI-747 Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device which together were certified by NHSTA on June 17, 2015 to work to together to meet or exceed 2013 NHSTA guidelines.
As of December 31, 2017, the BDI-747/1 was approved for use in five states, namely Oregon, Texas, Arizona, Kentucky, and Tennessee. As of December 31, 2018, the BDI-747/1 device was approved in Oregon, Texas, Arizona, and Kentucky. As of March 31, 2019, the BDI-747/1 device was only approved in Arizona and Texas. The states where our BDI-747/1 device is approved has decreased primarily as a result of new state certification rules that require increased capital investment that we are not able to afford.
We have a storefront location in Phoenix, Arizona and contract with four qualified contractors to install, calibrate, remove and monitor the devices. Our business plan includes growth of the company by continuing to complete and submit more state applications and to build up our service infrastructure by utilizing our own retail infrastructure, distributors and franchisees.
As of December 31, 2017, we had approximately 1,558 units on the road, with approximately 1,451 devices being leased directly from us and approximately 107 devices leased through our distributors. As of December 31, 2018, we had approximately 1,100 units on the road, with approximately 885 devices being leased directly from us and approximately 215 devices leased through our distributors. The decrease in the total number of devices we have on the road is primarily due to the fact the BDI-747/1 devices was approved in fewer states in 2018 compared to 2017.
Due to the decrease in the number of states where our BDI-747/1 device is approved, and the resulting decrease in the number of devices we have on the road, our management is currently exploring all options related to our business, including, but not limited to: (i) taking out loans or selling our stock in order to raise money to continue, and try to expand, our current business; (ii) trying to acquire a synergistic business and grow our current business; or (iii) selling our current business and trying to find another business to, in or out of our current business segment, to take over the public corporation.
Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2017 and 2016
Operating Loss; Net Loss
Our net loss increased by $1,853,096, from $856,219 to $2,709,315 from the year ended 2016 compared to 2017. Our operating loss increased by $1,026,239, from $501,139 to $1,527,378 for the same periods. The change in our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to the prior year is primarily a result of significant increases in our operating expenses and our other expenses, partially offset by an increase in our revenues. These changes are detailed below.
Revenue
During the year ended December 31, 2017 we had $1,235,433 in revenues, with $926,454 coming from revenue from the monthly recurring payments we received from our customers that rent our BDI-747/1 breathalyzer device for the ongoing monitoring services related to the devices, and $308,979 coming from revenues paid to us from our distributors, compared to $212,128 and $91,637 from these revenue sources for the same period one year ago. Our revenue increased during the year ended December 31, 2017 due to us having approximately 1,558 units on the road, compared to the year ended December 31, 2016, when we had approximately 1,075 units on the road. We expect the revenue we receive from monitoring our devices on the road, as well as revenue from distributors, will increase in any periods we have more devices on the road versus the comparable period and will decrease in any period we have fewer units on the road versus the comparable period. We do not believe our revenues will increase if our number of devices on the road decreases since we do not believe we will charge more for leasing the BDI-747/1 device than what we charge now in the foreseeable future.
Cost of Revenue
Our cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $160,797, compared to $41,168 for the year ended December 31, 2016. Our cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $153,059 for the revenue we received for the ongoing maintenance for units we lease to customers, and $7,738 related to the revenue we received from distributors. Our cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $38,276 for the revenue we received for the ongoing maintenance for units we lease to customers, and $2,892 related to the revenue we received from distributors.
Payroll
Our payroll increased by $326,389, from $147,231 to $473,620, from the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to December 31, 2017. The significant increase in our payroll expense was primarily a result of us contracting with additional personnel in 2017 as a result of having a more units on the road.
Professional Fees
Our professional fees increased during the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. Our professional fees were $146,406 for the year ended December 31, 2017 and $92,705 for the year ended December 31, 2016. These fees are largely related to fees paid for legal, accounting and audit services. We expect these fees to continue grow steadily if our business expands. In the event we undertake an unusual transaction, such as an acquisition or file a registration statement, we would expect these fees to substantially increase during that period.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $383,610, from $458,351 for the year ended December 31, 2016 to $841,961 for the year ended December 31, 2017. This increase was primarily related to increases in advertising, consulting services ad certain public company compliance costs.
Depreciation
We had depreciation of $338,044 for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $65,449 for the same period one year ago. Our depreciation expense in 2017 and 2016 was primarily related to the depreciation of the BDI-747/1 devices.
Impairment of Fixed Assets
During the year ended December 31, 2017, we had impairment of fixed assets of $801,983, compared to $0 during 2016. The impairment of our fixed assets is a result of our management currently determining whether our current business model and operations are viable. Until this determination has been made, we have elected to impair our assets.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased by $728,707 from $214,708 for the year ended December 31, 2016 to $943,415 for the year ended December 31, 2017. For both periods these amounts are largely due to the interest we owe on outstanding debt including amortization of debt discount costs. The interest expense significantly increased for the period ended December 31, 2017, compared to the same period one year ago, due to our increase in outstanding debt compared to one year ago, and the related accretion of the substantial amount of debt discount associated with the debt.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability
During the year ended December 31, 2017, we had a change in fair value of derivative liability of $68,078 compared to ($22,231) for the same period in 2016. The change in fair value of derivative liability for both periods, relates to the conversion feature of a promissory note we had outstanding during this period. Since the conversion price on the promissory note is calculated based on a discount to the closing price of our common stock, as our closing price fluctuates it changes the fair value of the derivative liability.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
During the year ended December 31, 2017, we had a loss on extinguishment of debt of $305,000 compared to $116,541 for the same period in 2016. The loss on extinguishment of debt in the year ended December 31, 2017, relates to the conversion of a note balance totaling $43,561.50 owed to Mr. Laurence Wainer into shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. The loss on extinguishment of debt in the year ended December 31, 2016, relates to the deemed extinguishment of royalty note #1 as discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources for Year Ended December 31, 2017 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2016
Introduction
During the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, because of our operating losses, we did not generate positive operating cash flows. Our cash on hand as of December 31, 2017 was $31,874 and our cash used in operations is approximately $50,000 per month. As a result, we have short term cash needs. These needs are being satisfied through proceeds from the sales of our securities and loans from both related parties and third parties. We currently do not believe we will be able to satisfy our cash needs from our revenues for some time.
Our cash, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, and total liabilities as of December 31, 2017 and as of December 31, 2016, respectively, are as follows:
Our current assets decreased as of December 31, 2017 as compared to December 31, 2016, due to us having less cash on hand, and less accounts receivable, net. The significant decrease in our total assets between the two periods was also related to the decrease in our cash on hand, accounts receivable, net, as well as the significant decrease in furniture and equipment, net as of December 31, 2017. The significant decrease in our furniture and equipment, net is a result of us impairing our BDI-747/1 breathalyzer devices while our management determines and viability of our existing business operations.
Our current liabilities increased by $103,446, as of December 31, 2017 as compared to December 31, 2016. This increase was primarily due to increases in our notes payable-related party, convertible notes payable, royalty notes payable, accrued payables, accrued interest revenue, and derivative liability, partially offset by an increase in accrued expenses.
In order to repay our obligations in full or in part when due, we will be required to raise significant capital from other sources. There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in these efforts.
Sources and Uses of Cash

We had net cash used in operating activities of $384,641 for the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared to $431,021 for the year ended December 31, 2016.

There are no items required to be reported under this Item.
ITEM 9A
ITEM 9A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined) in Exchange Act Rules 13a - 15(c) and 15d - 15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who are our principal executive officer and principal financial officers, respectively, concluded that, as of the end of the period ended December 31, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective (1) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to us, including our chief executive and chief financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our Principal Accounting Officer) do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. No matter how well conceived and operated, our disclosure controls and procedures can provide only a reasonable level of assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Furthermore, smaller reporting companies face additional limitations. Smaller reporting companies employ fewer individuals and find it difficult to properly segregate duties. Often, one or two individuals control every aspect of the company’s operation and are in a position to override any system of internal control. Additionally, smaller reporting companies tend to utilize general accounting software packages that lack a rigorous set of software controls.
(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our Principal Financial Officer), and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and includes those policies and procedures that:
● Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and any disposition of our assets;
● Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
● 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 financial statements.
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 our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, Management has identified the following three material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of December 31, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
1. We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within 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 evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
2. We have not documented our internal controls. We have limited policies and procedures that cover the recording and reporting of financial transactions and accounting provisions. As a result we may be delayed in our ability to calculate certain accounting provisions. While we believe these provisions are accounted for correctly in the attached audited financial statements our lack of internal controls could lead to a delay in our reporting obligations. We are required to provide written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
3. Effective controls over the control environment were not maintained. Specifically, a formally adopted written code of business conduct and ethics that governs our employees, officers, and directors was not in place. Additionally, management has not developed and effectively communicated to our employees its accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, our Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.
4. Currently, we do not have ability systematic approach to timely and accurately record unearned revenue and revenue, convertible debt transactions, deferred revenue, and derivative liabilities in the financial statements and have needed additional time, beyond the filing deadlines set by the Commission, to file our periodic reports.
To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
(c) Remediation of Material Weaknesses
In order to remediate the material weakness in our documentation, evaluation and testing of internal controls, we hope to hire additional qualified and experienced personnel to assist us in remedying this material weakness.
(d) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There are no changes to report during our fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2017.

David Haridim, age 36, was appointed as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary on January 2, 2019. He was also appointed to our Board of Directors on the same date. Mr. Haridim has been the Manager of The Doheny Group, LLC since January 2016.

Our board of directors appoints our officers, and our officers hold office until their successors are chosen and qualify, or until their resignation or their removal.

There are no family relationships among our directors or officers.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
Our directors and executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:
1. Other than the involuntary bankruptcy proceeding mentioned herein, no bankruptcy petition has been filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
2. any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
3. being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities;
4. being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission 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;
5. being 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, relating to an alleged violation of: (i) any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation; or (ii) 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 (iii) any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
6. being 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934), 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.
Committees
All proceedings of the board of directors for the year ended December 31, 2017 were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by the board of directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of our board of directors. Our company currently does not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because it believes that the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the board of directors.
We do not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The board of directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The board of directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.
A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our president at the address appearing on the first page of this annual report.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our board of directors has determined that it does not have an audit committee member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. We believe that the audit committee members are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated revenues to date.
Nomination Procedures For Appointment of Directors
As of December 31, 2017, we did not effect any material changes to the procedures by which our stockholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.
Code of Ethics
We do not have a code of ethics.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s directors and executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, to the Company’s knowledge, the following delinquencies occurred:

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Article Fourteen of our Articles of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no director or officer shall be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to the corporation or its shareholders. In addition, the corporation shall have the power, in its bylaws or in any resolution of its stockholders or directors, to indemnify the officers and directors of the corporation against any liability as may be determined to be in the best interests of this corporation, and in conjunction therewith, to buy, at the corporation’s expense, policies of insurance.
Article XI of our Bylaws further addresses indemnification of our directors and officers and allows us to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
ITEM 11
ITEM 11 - EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The particulars of compensation paid to the following persons:
(a) all individuals serving as our principal executive officer during the year ended December 31, 2017;
(b) each of our two most highly compensated executive officers other than our principal executive officer who were serving as executive officers at December 31, 2017 who had total compensation exceeding $100,000; and
(c) up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided under (b) but for the fact that the individual was not serving as our executive officer at December 31, 2017,

Under the Lockup Agreement Wainer agreed to refrain selling 8,000,000 out of the approximately 9,700,000 shares of our common stock he owns until the expiration of the Lockup Period, as defined in the Lockup Agreement.

We also compensate Gnosiis weekly for consulting services provided to us.
On November 15, 2016, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Abraham Summers through Gnosiis. Under the terms of the employment agreement, we agreed to employ Mr. Summers as our Chief Financial Officer until terminated by either party. Under the employment agreement we agreed to compensate Gnosiis and Mr. Summers an aggregate of 80% of the compensation paid by us to Mr. Laurence Wainer, our President, with 50% of the compensation paid to Mr. Summers as an employee and 50% paid to Gnosiis for consulting services.

ITEM 14
ITEM 14 - PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES
Audit fees
The aggregate fees billed for the two most recently completed fiscal periods ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 for professional services rendered by Benjamin & Young, LLP and Redwitz, Inc., respectively, for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements, quarterly reviews of our interim consolidated financial statements and services normally provided by the independent accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:
In the above table, “audit fees” are fees billed by our company’s external auditor for services provided in auditing our company’s annual financial statements for the subject year. “Audit-related fees” are fees not included in audit fees that are billed by the auditor for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit review of our company’s financial statements. “Tax fees” are fees billed by the auditor for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. “All other fees” are fees billed by the auditor for products and services not included in the foregoing categories.
Policy on Pre-Approval by Audit Committee of Services Performed by Independent Auditors
The board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors before the respective services were rendered.
The board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by Benjamin & Young, LLP and Redwitz, Inc. and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining Benjamin & Young, LLP and Redwitz, Inc. independence.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Of Blow & Drive Interlock Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Blow & Drive Interlock Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt About the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations and cash outflows from operating activities that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.Organization and Nature of Business
Blow & Drive Interlock (“the Company”) was incorporated on July 2, 2013 under the laws of the State of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. The Company markets and rents alcohol ignition interlock devices to DUI/DWI offenders as part of their mandatory court or motor vehicle department programs. The Company has approval for its device in the following states: California, Colorado, Kansas, New York, Tennessee, Arizona, Oregon, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
In 2015, the Company formed BDI Manufacturing, Inc., an Arizona corporation which is a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of Blow & Drive Interlock Corporation.
The Company markets, installs and monitors a breath alcohol ignition interlock device (BAIID) called the BDI-747/1, which is a mechanism that is installed on the steering column of an automobile and into which a driver exhales. The device in turn provides a blood-alcohol concentration analysis. If the driver’s blood-alcohol content is higher than a certain pre-programmed limit, the device prevents the ignition from engaging and the automobile from starting. These devices are often required for use by DUI or DWI (“driving under the influence” or “driving while intoxicated”) offenders as part of a mandatory court or motor vehicle department program.
The Company licenses the rights to third party distributors to promote the BDI-747/1 and provide services related to the device. The distributorships are for specific geographical areas (either entire states or certain counties within states). The Company currently has entered into six distributorship agreements. Under the distribution agreements the Company typically receives a onetime fee, and then is entitled to receive a per unit registration fee and a per unit monthly fee for each BDI-747/1 unit the distributor has in inventory or on the road beginning thirty (30) days after the distributor receives the unit.
On December 31, 2018, Laurence Wainer, CEO of the Company, and The Doheny Group, a major note holder of the Company, reached an agreement in which Laurence Wainer sold 8,924,000 shares of common stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock for a total of $30,000. Upon completion of the sale, David Haridim, managing member of The Doheny Group, assumed the position of CEO of Blow and Drive.
2.Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.
Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of BDI Manufacturing (the Subsidiary). All material intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and the Subsidiary have been eliminated in consolidation.
Going Concern
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $4,296,645. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease or reduce its operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. The Company will continue to raise funds through the sale of its equity securities or issuance of notes payable to obtain additional operating capital. The Company is dependent upon its ability to, and will continue to attempt to, secure additional equity and/or debt financing until the Company can earn revenue and realize positive cash flow from its operations. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in earning revenue and realizing positive cash flow from its operations. Without sufficient financing it would be unlikely that the Company will continue as a going concern.
Based on the Company’s current rate of cash outflows, cash on hand and proceeds from the prior sale of equity securities and issuance of notes payable, management believes that its current cash will not be sufficient to meet the anticipated cash needs for working capital for the next 12 months. The Company’s plans with respect to its liquidity issues include, but are not limited to, the following:
1) Continue to issue restricted stock for compensation due to consultants and for its legacy accounts payable in lieu of cash payments; and
2) Seek additional capital to continue its operations as it rolls out its current products. The Company is currently evaluating additional debt or equity financing opportunities and may execute them when appropriate. However, there can be no assurances that the Company can consummate such a transaction or consummate a transaction at favorable pricing.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and achieve profitable operations. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts in prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. All reclassifications have been applied consistently to the periods presented.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when earned and related costs of sales and expenses when incurred. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605-10-S99, Revenue Recognition, Overall, SEC Materials (“Section 605-10-S74”). Section 605-10-S99 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Cost of revenue consists of the cost of the purchased goods and labor related to the corresponding sales transaction. When a right of return exists, the Company defers revenues until the right of return expires. The Company recognizes revenue from services at the time the services are completed. Monthly per unit fee revenue is earned and recognized over the term of the contract as support services are provided. Revenues from territory exclusivity are earned when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the sales price has been determined and collectability has been reasonably assured.
Deferred revenue
Deferred revenue consists of customer orders paid in advance of the delivery of the order. Deferred revenue is classified as short-term as the typical order ships within approximately three weeks of placing the order. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when the product is shipped to the customer and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.
Advertising and Marketing Costs
Advertising and marketing costs are recorded as general and administrative expenses when they are incurred. Advertising and marketing expenses were $192,941 and $67,462 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company’s accounts receivable primarily consist of trade receivables. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts that is based on historical trends, customer knowledge, any known disputes, and the aging of the accounts receivable balances combined with management’s estimate of future potential recoverability. Receivables are written off against the allowance after all attempts to collect a receivable have failed. The Company believes its allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is adequate, but actual write-offs could exceed the recorded allowance.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the first-in first-out method and at December 31, 2016 consists of spare parts for the BDI 747 monitoring units. The Company wrote off all inventory and spare parts at December 31, 2017, as the Company intends to exit the interlock business and believes that it would not be able to sell the inventory to another company. The Company wrote-off $10,650 for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally five years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. Fixed assets are examined for the possibility of decreases in value when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable. The Company determined that property and equipment is impaired as the Company plans to dispose all of its assets and the Company determined that property and equipment did not have any value as of December 31, 2017. The Company wrote-off $791,333 net property and equipment for the year-ended December 31, 2017.
Royalty Accrual
The Company entered into royalty agreement to be paid out in perpetuity based on number of units sold for specified product model in year 2017 and 2016 in connection with notes payable as discussed in Note 8. These estimates were performed at the inception for the notes to reflect the associated debt discount. The Company accruals royalties and is reduced by payments.
Derivative Liability
The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC Topic 815-40”), under which convertible instruments, which contain terms that protect holders from declines in the stock price, may not be exempt from derivative accounting treatment. As a result, embedded conversion options (whose exercise price is not fixed and determinable) in convertible debt (which is not conventionally convertible due to the exercise price not being fixed and determinable) are initially recorded as a liability and are revalued at fair value at each reporting date using the Black Sholes Model. The Company revalues these derivatives each quarter using the Black Sholes Model. The change in valuation is accounted for as a gain or loss in derivative liability.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The provisions of accounting guidance, FASB Topic ASC 825 requires all entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, and defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the fair value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, and convertible debt approximated carrying value due to the short maturity of the instruments, quoted market prices or interest rates which fluctuate with market rates.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company utilizes ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure, for valuing financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2 - Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The table below describes the Company’s valuation of financial instruments using guidance from ASC 820-10:
Fair Value Measurements Using
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period.
The total number of potential additional dilutive securities outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, was none since the Company had net losses and any additional potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect.
Non-Cash Equity Transactions
Shares of equity instruments issued for non-cash consideration are recorded at the fair value of the consideration received based on the market value of services to be rendered, or at the value of the stock given, considered in reference to contemporaneous cash sale of stock and the stock’s trading price.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to an employee stock purchase plan based on the estimated fair values.
For non-employee stock-based compensation, the Company applies FASB ASC Topic 505 Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, which requires stock-based compensation related to non-employees to be accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the services on the grant date, whichever is more readily determinable in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718.
Related Parties
Related parties are any entities or individuals that, through employment, ownership or other means, possess the ability to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Company.
Concentrations
All of the Company’s ignition interlock devices are purchased from one supplier in China. The loss of this supplier could have a material impact on the Company’s ability to timely obtain additional units.
The Company has multiple distributors as of December 31, 2017 and is actively engaging more in new markets. However, for the year ended December 31, 2017, one distributor, licensed in four states, makes up approximately 85% of all revenues from distributors. The loss of this distributer would have a material impact on the Company’s revenues. Per an agreement dated January 21, 2018 that memorialized a September 30, 2017 oral agreement, the Company and its largest distributor cancelled their distributorship agreement dated September 5, 2015. See Note 15 below.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, one distributor, licensed in four states, made up approximately 90% of all revenues from distributors and 93% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2016.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC 740, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company also follows ASC 740-10-25, which provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. ASC 740-10-25 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” the Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. The Company considers the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable based upon our review of the following events or changes in circumstances: the asset’s ability to continue to generate income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods; loss of legal ownership or title to the assets; significant changes in our strategic business objectives and utilization of the asset; or significant negative industry or economic trends. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset are less than its carrying amount.
As of December 31, 2016, the Company was not aware of any events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the long-lived assets are impaired. As of December 31, 2017, the Company impaired property and equipment in the net amount of $801,983.
Convertible Instruments
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with professional standards for “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control or could require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-14, income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The ASU modified Topic 220 such that an operating-differential subsidy must be set forth as a separate line item in the statement of comprehensive income either under a revenue caption presented separately from revenue from contracts with customers accounted for under ASC Topic 606 or as credit in the costs and expenses section. The ASU essentially deleted Topic 605 and noted that it was superseded by Topic 606. The ASU modified Topic 606 for vaccine manufacturers to recognize revenue when vaccines are placed into Federal Governmental stockpile programs because control of the enumerated vaccines will have been transferred to the customer and the criteria to recognize revenue in a bill-and-hold arrangement under ASC Topic 606 will have been met. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.
In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-13, Revenue Recognition, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Leases. The ASU adds SEC paragraphs to the new revenue and leases sections of the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC or Codification) on the announcement the SEC Observer made at the 20 July 2017 EITF meeting. The SEC Observer said that the SEC staff would not object if entities that are considered public business entities only because their financial statements or financial information is required to be included in another entity’s SEC filing use the effective dates for private companies when they adopt ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and ASC 842, Leases. This would include entities whose financial statements are included in another entity’s SEC filing because they are significant acquirees under Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X, significant equity method investees under Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X and equity method investees whose summarized financial information is included in a registrant’s financial statement notes under Rule 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share; Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity; Derivatives and Hedging; Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. An entity will no longer have to consider “down round” features (i.e., a provision in an equity-linked financial instrument or an embedded feature that reduces the exercise price if the entity sells stock for a lower price or issues an equity-linked instrument with a lower exercise price) when determining whether certain equity-linked financial instruments or embedded features are indexed to its own stock. An entity that presents earnings per share (EPS) under ASC 260 will recognize the effect of a down round feature in a freestanding equity-classified financial instrument only when it is triggered. The effect of triggering such a feature will be recognized as a dividend and a reduction to income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. The new guidance will require new disclosures for financial instruments with down round features and other terms that change conversion or exercise prices. The ASU also replaces today’s indefinite deferral of the guidance in ASC 480-10 for certain mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests with a scope exception. This change does not require any transition guidance because it does not have an accounting effect. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Accounting for Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Asset Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory. The ASU eliminates the deferral of the tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers other than inventory. As a result, the tax expense from the intercompany sale of assets, other than inventory, and associated changes to deferred taxes will be recognized when the sale occurs even though the pre-tax effects of the transaction have not been recognized. The effect of the adoption of the standard will depend on the nature and amount of any future transactions.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows; Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The new standard addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The eight issues are: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned insurance policies; distribution received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new standard clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations in Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Topic 606 addresses that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. When an entity is a principal (that is, if it controls the specific good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer) and satisfies a performance obligation, the entity recognizes revenue in the gross amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for the specific good or service transferred to the customer. When an entity is an agent and satisfies a performance obligation, the entity recognizes revenue in the amount of any fee or commission to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for arranging for the specific good or service to be provided by the other party. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-2, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record an ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. Similarly, lessors will be required to classify leases as sales-type, finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of income recognition. Classification for both lessees and lessors will be based on an assessment of whether risks and rewards as well as substantive control have been transferred through a lease contract. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.
3.RESTATEMENTS
Below are the restated December 31, 2016 financial statements. The original December 31, 2016 financial statements erroneously recognized the entire upfront fees from two of its independent distributors in revenue at the time the Company delivered the exclusive license to the distributors rather than over the term of the agreements (5 years). To correct that error, the Company has shown the portion of the upfront fees attributable to that period only.

4.SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company has two reportable segments: (1) Monitoring and (2) Distributorships.
Monitoring fees on Company installed units
The Company rents units directly to customers and installs the units in the customer’s vehicles. The rental periods range from a few months to 2 years and include a combination of down payments made by the customer and monthly payments paid under the agreements with the Company. Revenue is recognized from these companies on the straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. Amounts collected in excess of those earned are classified as deferred revenue in the balance sheet, and amounts earned in excess of amounts collected are reflected in accounts receivable in the balance sheet at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
Distributorships
The Company enters into arrangements that include multiple deliverables, which typically consist of the sale of exclusive distributorship territory rights, startup supplies package, promotional material, three weeks of onsite training and ongoing monthly support services. The Company accounts for each material element within an arrangement with multiple deliverables as separate units of accounting. Revenue is allocated to each unit of accounting under the guidance of ASC Topic 605-25, Multiple-Element Revenue Arrangements, which provides criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements by establishing a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) if available, third-party evidence if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price if neither VSOE nor third-party evidence is available. The Company is required to determine the best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis. The Company generally does not separately sell distributorships or training on a standalone basis. Therefore, the Company does not have VSOE for the selling price of these units nor is third party evidence available and thus management uses its best estimate of selling prices in their allocation of revenue to each deliverable in the multiple element arrangement.
