| ● | Our operating losses and working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about our ability to secure screenplays, attract talent and produce feature films. Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods as we incur expenses associated with our business. Further, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in realizing revenues or in achieving or sustaining positive cash flow at any time in the future. Any such failure could result in the possible closure of our business or force us to seek additional capital through loans or additional sales of our equity securities to continue business operations, which would dilute the value of any shares you purchase in this offering.

Corporate History
We were incorporated as a shell company in the State of California in 2009 under the name Thunderclap Entertainment, Inc. In 2017, Thunderclap Entertainment, Inc. changed its name to TraQiQ, Inc. and since 2017 we have acquired two Indian companies and four United States companies (with one Indian subsidiary) in exchange for stock and assumption of debt.
The Company’s headquarters are located at 14205 SE 36th Street, Suite 100, Bellevue, WA 98006, and its main telephone number is (425) 818-0560. Our website address is traqiq.com. Information on our website is not part of this prospectus.
As a public company, we will have to comply with numerous financial reporting and legal requirements, including those pertaining to audits and internal control. The costs of this compliance could be significant. If our revenues are insufficient, and/or we cannot satisfy many of these costs through the issuance of our shares, we may be unable to satisfy these costs in the normal course of business that would result in our being unable to continue as a going concern.

Our auditor's report on ouroperations data for the fiscal years ended December 31, 20102019, and 2020 have been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements expresses an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as an ongoing business. Moreover, our officers may be unable or unwilling to loan or advance us any. See “Audited Financial Statements - Report."
Because weincluded elsewhere in this prospectus. Additionally, the summary statement of operations data for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021 have been issued an opinion byderived from our auditors that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as a going concern, it may be more difficult for us to attract investors. We incurred a $(135,154) net loss for the period from inception to December 31, 2010 and we have no revenue. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the sale of our films. We plan to seek additional funds through private placements of our common stock. Ourunaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relatingincluded elsewhere in this prospectus. The summary consolidated balance sheet data as of June 30, 2021 are derived from our consolidated unaudited financial statements that are included elsewhere in this prospectus. The pro forma consolidated balance sheet data gives effect to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event we cannot continue in existence.
Our officers and director have limited experience in the motion picture industry, which could prevent us from successfully implementing our business plan, and impede our ability to earn revenue.
Our officers and director have limited practical experience in the motion picture industry. Our president has only produced one commercial film. Our management's lack of experience could hinder their ability to successfully develop screenplays that will result in commercially successful films, or to secure production financing. It is likely that our management's inexperience with film production and financing will hinder our ability to earn revenue. Each potential investor must carefully consider the lack of experience of our officers and director before purchasing our common stock.
Key management personnel may leave us, which could adversely affect our ability to continue operations.
We are entirely dependent on the efforts of Michael F. Matondi, III, our president and Gary L. Blum, chief executive officer and sole director. The loss of our officers and sole director, or of other key personnel hired in the future, could have a material adverse effect on the business and its prospects. We believe that we have made all commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the risks attendant with the departure by key personnel and we plan to continue these efforts in the future. There is currently no employment contract by and between any office/director and us. Also, there is no guarantee that replacement personnel, if any, will help us to operate profitably. They have been, and continue to expect to be able to commit approximately 10 hours per week of their time, to the development of our business plan in the next six months. If management is required to spend additional time with their outside employment, they may not have sufficient time to devote to us and we would be unable to develop our business plan resulting in the business failure.
We do not maintain key person life insurance on our officers and sole director.
If we are unable to obtain additional funding our business operation will be harmed; and if we do obtain additional funding, our then existing shareholders may suffer substantial dilution.
We have limited financial resources. As of December 31, 2010, we had $11,977 of cash on hand. If we are unable to develop our business or secure additional funds our business would fail and our shares may be worthless. We may seek to obtain debt financing as well. There is no assurance that we will not incur debt in the future, that we will have sufficient funds to repay any indebtedness, or that we will not default on our debt obligations, jeopardizing our business viability. Furthermore, we may not be able to borrow or raise additional capital in the future to meet our needs, or to otherwise provide the capital necessary to conduct our business. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our business plans and possibly cease our operations. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing shareholders.
In the future we may seek additional financing through the sale of our common stock resulting in dilution to existing shareholders.
The most likely source of future financing presently available to us is through the sale of shares in this offering after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us. The historical financial data presented below is not necessarily indicative of our common stock. Any sale of common stock will resultfinancial results in dilution of equity ownership to existing shareholders. This means that, if we sell sharesfuture periods, and the results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is not necessarily indicative of our common stock, more shares willoperating results to be outstandingexpected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 or any other period. You should read the summary consolidated financial data in conjunction with those financial statements and each existing shareholder will ownthe accompanying notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Our consolidated financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a smaller percentagebasis consistent with our audited financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments that we consider necessary for a fair presentation of the shares then outstanding, which will resultfinancial position and results of operations as of and for such periods.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities includes a reductionhigh degree of risk. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should consider carefully the value of an existing shareholder’s interest. To raise additional capital we may have to issue additional shares, which may substantially dilute the interests of existing shareholders. Alternatively, we may have to borrow large sums, and assume debt obligations that require us to make substantial interest and capital payments.
We cannot guarantee we will be successful in generating revenue in the future or be successful in raising funds through the sale of shares to pay for our business plan and expenditures. As of the date of this registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we have not earned any revenue. Failure to generate revenue will cause us to go out of business, which will result in the complete loss of your investment.
We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property from infringement by third parties.
Our business plan is significantly dependent upon exploiting our film projects and any intellectual property that we may develop in the future. There can be no assurance that we will be able to controlrisk factors discussed below, together with all of the rights for all of our property or that some of the rights may not revert to their original owners. We may not have the resources necessary to assert infringement claims against third parties who may infringe upon our intellectual property rights. Litigation can be costly and time consuming and divert the attention and resources of management and key personnel. We cannot assure you that we can adequately protect any intellectual property or successfully prosecute potential infringement of our intellectual property rights. Also, we cannot assure you that others will not assert rightsother information contained in or ownership of, trademarks and other proprietary rights of ours, or that we will be able to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to our satisfaction.this prospectus. Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may result in a loss of revenue and could materially adversely affect our operations andbusiness, financial condition.
If our films are not commercially successful and/or do not generate revenues, our business would fail.
Producing films involves substantial risks, because it requires that we spend significant funds based entirely on our preliminary evaluation of the screenplay's commercial potential as a film. It is impossible to predict the success of any film before the production starts. The ability of a motion picture to generate revenues will depend upon a variety of unpredictable factors, including:
· | Public taste, which is always subject to change; |
· | The quantity and popularity of other films and leisure activities to the public at the time of our release; |
· | The competition for exhibition at the movie theaters, through video retailers, on cable television and through other forms of distribution; and |
· | The fact that all films are distributed in all media. |
For any of these reasons, the films that we produce may not be commercially successful and our business may suffer or fail altogether resulting in a complete loss of any investment made in our common stock.
Our films might be more expensive to make than we anticipate.
We expect that future financing that we may obtain will provide the capital required to produce our films. Expenses associated with producing the films could increase beyond projected costs because of a range of factors such as an escalation in compensation rates of talent and other personnel working on the films or in the number of personnel required to work on the films, or because of problems or difficulties with technology and equipment used in our production. In addition, unexpected circumstances sometimes cause production to exceed budget.
Competition in the entertainment industry is strong. If we cannot successfully compete, our business may be adversely affected.
The marketplace in which we compete is intensely competitive and subject to rapid change. Our competitors include well established enterprises similar to us. Some of these competitors are based globally. We anticipate that we will face additional competition from new entrants that may offer significant performance, price, creative or other advantages over those offered by us. Many of these competitors have greater name recognition and resources than us.
Additionally, potential competitors with established market shares and greater financial resources may introduce competing storylines. Thus, there can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in the future or that competition will not have a material adverse affect on our operations. Increased competition could result in lower than expected operating margins or loss of the ability to engage distributors of their productions, either of which would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operation and financial condition.
If we are unable to secure distribution for our films, our business will suffer and likely fail.
Because we lack the resources to distribute our films ourselves, we plan to enter into arrangements with established distributors. As a result, we may be unable to secure distribution agreements or revenue guarantees before funds are spent on production. In addition, if we are unable to obtain theatrical distribution on acceptable terms, we may evaluate other alternatives, such as retaining a distributor as an independent contractor or bypassing theatrical distribution altogether. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to secure an independent distributor, or if we were able to, under terms that would allow us to be profitable. If we are unable to obtain adequate distribution, we may not have the ability to generate revenue.
We operate in a regulated industry and changes in regulations or violations of regulations may result in increased costs or sanctions that could reduce our revenues and profitability.
The motion picture industry is subject to extensive and complex federal and state laws and regulations related to safety, conduct of operations, and payment for services and payment for creative talent. If we fail to comply with the laws and regulations that are directly applicable to our business, we could suffer civil and/or criminal penalties or be subject to injunctions and delays in production schedules orders.
Federal and state governments may regulate the films that we produce. Our ability to cost effectively produce our film projects could be affected by such regulations. The implementation of unfavorable regulations or unfavorable interpretations of existing regulations by courts or regulatory bodies could require us to incur significant compliance costs, cause the development of the affected markets to become impractical and otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business,condition, results of operations and financial condition.
prospects could be materially and adversely affected by these risks.
General Risks Relating to Our Business, Operations of Financial Condition
We have a limited operating history and are subject to the risks encountered by early-stage companies.
Our company has a limited operating history, and you should consider and evaluate our operating prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in rapidly evolving markets. For us, these risks include:
There are significant potential conflicts of interest |
Our officers and sole director are required to commit time to our affairs and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities. In the course of other business activities, they may become aware of business opportunities● | risks that may be appropriate for presentation to us, as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. As such, there may be conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.
In an effort to resolve such potential conflicts of interest, our officers and sole director have agreed that any opportunities that they are aware of independently or directly through their association with us (as opposed to disclosure to them of such business opportunities by management or consultants associated with other entities) would be presented by them solely to us.
We cannot provide assurances that our efforts to eliminate the potential impact of conflicts of interest will be effective.
Because we have nominal assets and no significant revenue, we may not have sufficient capital to achieve our growth strategy; | | | | | ● | risks that we may not develop our product and service offerings in a manner that enables us to be considered a "shell company"profitable and meet our customers’ requirements; | | | | | ● | risks that our growth strategy may not be successful; and | | | | | ● | risks that fluctuations in our operating results will be subjectsignificant relative to more stringent reporting requirements.our revenues. |
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Exchange Act Rule 12b-2 which defines a shell company as a registrant that has no or nominal operations, and either (a) no or nominal assets; (b) assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or (c) assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets.
These risks are described in more detail below. Our balance sheet reflects that we have $11,977 cash and minimal assets and, therefore, we may be defined as a shell company. The new rules prohibit shell companies from using a Form S-8 to register securities pursuant to employee compensation plans. However, the new rules do not prevent us from registering securities pursuant to S-1 registration statements. Additionally, the new rule regarding Form 8-K requires shell companies to provide more detailed disclosure upon completion of a transaction that causes it to cease being a shell company. If an acquisition is undertaken (of which we have no current intention of doing), we must file a current report on Form 8-K containing the information required pursuant to Regulation S-K within four business days following completion of the transaction together with financial information of the acquired entity. In order to assist the SEC in the identification of shell companies, we are also required to check a box on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K indicating that we are a shell company. To the extent that we are required to comply with additional disclosure because we are a shell company, we may be delayed in executing any mergers or acquiring other assets that would cause us to cease being a shell company. The SEC adopted a new Rule 144 effective February 15, 2008, which makes resales of restricted securities by shareholders of a shell company more difficult.
We intend to become subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act that will require us to incur audit fees and legal fees in connection with the preparation of such reports. These additional costs could reduce or eliminate our ability to earn a profit. |
Following the effective date of our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, wefuture growth will be required to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In order to comply with these requirements, our independent registered public accounting firm will have to review our financial statements on a quarterly basis and audit our financial statements on an annual basis. Moreover, our legal counsel will have to review and assist in the preparation of such reports. The costs charged by these professionals for such services cannot be accurately predicted at this time because factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in and the complexity of our reports cannot be determined at this time and will have a major affect on the amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an expense to our operations and thus have a negative effectdepend substantially on our ability to meet our overhead requirementsaddress these and earn a profit. We may be exposed to potentialthe other risks resulting from any new requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.described in this section. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock, if a market ever develops, could drop significantly.
Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. |
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the 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 and includes those policies and procedures that:
· | pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions 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 management and/or our 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. |
Our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.
Having only one director limits our ability to establish effective independent corporate governance procedures and increases his control. |
We have only one director. Accordingly, we cannot establish board committees comprised of independent members to oversee functions like compensation or audit issues. In addition, since we only have one director, he has significant control over all corporate issues. We do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors. Our sole director performssuccessfully address these functions and is not an independent director. Thus, there is a potential conflict in that sole director is also engaged in management and participates in decisions concerning management compensation and audit issues that may affect management performance.
Until we have a larger board of directors that would include some independent members, if ever, there will be limited oversight of our directors decisions and activities and little ability for minority shareholders to challenge or reverse those activities and decisions, even if they are not in the best interests of minority shareholders.
We will rely upon consultants for web-development and the consultant may not complete the work within the set framework that is necessary to promote and recruit personnel effectively.
We are also heavily dependent on the web consultant to expand our website. If the consultant does not fulfill his duties, we may not be able to find another consultant with specific expertise to expand our website.
We currently have a website that will help us attract screenplays and story concepts. It is a basic website at www.thunderclapinc.com; however, functionality for our intended use is limited. We intend to use the website as a promotional and recruiting tool for potential industry professionals as well as a tool for recruiting young screenwriters. We intend to further develop our website in the next twelve months but have no intention to do so at this time. If our website is not further developed, we may not be able to adequately access the pool of writing talent we will need to produce commercially viable motion pictures.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OFFERING
The offering price of our common stock has been determined arbitrarily. |
The $0.20 per share price of our common stock in this offering has not been determined by any independent financial evaluation, market mechanism or by our auditors, and is therefore, to a large extent, arbitrary. Our audit firm has not reviewed management's valuation and, therefore, expresses no opinion as to the fairness of the offering price as determined by our management. As a result, the price of the common stock in this offering may not reflect the value perceived by the market. There can be no assurance that the shares offered hereby are worth the price for which they are offered and investors may, therefore, lose a portion or all of their investment
Investors may lose their entire investment if we fail to implement our business plan.
As a development-stage enterprise, we expect to face substantial risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties. We were formed on September 10, 2009. We have no demonstrable operations record, on which you can evaluate our business and prospects. We have yet to commence planned operations. As of the date of this prospectus, we have had only limited start-up operations and generated no revenues. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in accomplishingunable to sustain our objectives. Taking these facts into account, our independent auditors have expressedbusiness growth to date and you could lose your investment.
Our operating losses and working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we do not continue as a going concern, investors could lose their entire investment.
Our operating losses and working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have an accumulated deficit of $(910,716) as of June 30, 2021. We may never achieve profitability. If we do not generate sufficient revenues, do not achieve profitability and do not have other sources of financing for our business, we may have to curtail or cease our development plans and operations, which could cause investors to lose the entire amount of their investment.
If we are unable to integrate our acquisitions or manage the growth of those companies effectively, our business could be adversely affected.
Our business has grown mostly through acquisition of other companies, both in the independent auditors' reportUnited States and in India. These companies, particularly in India, are currently expanding rapidly. Our future operating results depend to a large extent on our ability to manage this expansion and growth successfully. For us to continue to manage such growth, we must put in place legal and accounting systems, and implement human resource management and other tools. We may be unable to successfully manage this anticipated rapid growth. A failure to manage our growth effectively could materially and adversely affect our business.
Increasing competition within our emerging industry could have an impact on our business prospects.
The artificial intelligence, mobile payment and “gig” worker markets are emerging industries where new competitors are entering the market frequently. These competing companies may have significantly greater financial and other resources than we have and may have been developing their products and services longer than we have been developing ours, and we may be unable to successfully compete.
Our current and future operations are subject to certain risks that are unique to operating in a foreign country.
We currently have international operations in India, Latin America, and Africa, among other places, and have a large concentration of employees and task workers in India. Therefore, we are exposed to risks inherent in international business operations. The risks of doing business in foreign countries include the following:
| ● | changing regulatory or taxation policies, including changes in tax policies that have been proposed by the current United States administration that may affect the taxation of foreign earnings; | | | | | ● | currency exchange risks; | | | | | ● | changes in diplomatic relations or hostility from local populations; | | | | | ● | seizure of our property by the government or restrictions on our ability to transfer our property or earnings out of the foreign country; | | | | | ● | potential instability of foreign governments, which might result in losses against which we are not insured; | | | | | ● | difficulty in protecting our intellectual property from infringement in certain foreign countries; and | | | | | ● | difficulty of enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through some foreign legal systems. |
Exchange rates may cause future losses in our international operations.
Because we own assets in foreign countries and derive revenue from our international operations, we may incur currency translation losses due to changes in the values of foreign currencies and in the value of the United States dollar. We cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations upon future operating results.
We may not be able to adequately protect our proprietary technology, and our competitors may be able to offer similar products and services, which would harm our competitive position.
Our success depends in part upon our proprietary technology. We rely primarily on national and local statutory and common law rights in the jurisdictions in which we operate, as well as contractual restrictions, to establish and protect our proprietary rights, but to date we have not sought or obtained any patents on our proprietary technology or registered any of our trademarks. Despite the precautions we have taken, third parties could copy or otherwise obtain and use our technology without authorization or develop similar technology independently. The protection of our proprietary rights may be inadequate or our competitors may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our products and services or design around any intellectual property rights we hold.
If third parties claim that we infringe their intellectual property, it may result in costly litigation.
Third parties may claim our current or future products infringe their intellectual property rights. Any such claims, with or without merit, could cause costly litigation that could consume significant management time. As the number of product and services offerings in the artificial intelligence, mobile payments and task worker markets increases and functionalities increasingly overlap, we may become increasingly subject to infringement claims. Such claims also might require us to enter into royalty or license agreements. If required, we may not be able to enter into such royalty or license agreements or obtain them on terms acceptable to us.
Pandemics including COVID-19 may adversely affect our business.
The recent unprecedented events related to COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), have had significant health, economic, and market impacts and may have short-term and long-term adverse effects on our business that we cannot predict as the global pandemic continues to evolve. The extent and effectiveness of responses by governments and other organizations also cannot be predicted. During 2020, COVID-19 forced us to suspend Last Mile deliveries and other task worker activities for a period of time, and we shifted some of those activities to a virtual, remote-service model until in-person activities could resume safely. The effects of the pandemic may have a particular effect on our business as a result of our extensive operations in India and other emerging markets, where vaccines are less available. While we continue to have the option to shift to virtual activities if necessary, it is unclear whether and to what extent future impacts of COVID-19 or other pandemics will have an adverse effect on our profitability and growth strategy.
We may need additional financing. Any limitation on our ability to obtain such additional financing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may need to raise additional capital, which we may be unable to obtain on favorable or reasonable terms, or at all. If we raise additional capital, it could result in dilution to our stockholders. Any limitation on our ability to obtain additional capital as and when needed could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements includedcould be impaired, which could harm our operating results, our ability to operate our business and investors’ views of us.
Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place so that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires public companies to conduct an annual review and evaluation of their internal controls. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2020, and our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of June 30, 2021. Our failure to maintain the effectiveness of our internal controls in accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business. We could lose investor confidence in the registration statement,accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which this prospectus is a part.could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock. In addition, if our lackefforts to comply with new or changed laws, regulations, and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.
Our revenue is currently concentrated in a small number of operating capitalcustomers.
Although our strategy is to expand our business operations and customer base through our 2021 acquisitions of Rohuma and Mimo, most of our revenue has come historically from a few customers. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had two major customers comprising 87% of our revenues, and at June 30, 2021 these customers represented 87% of our accounts receivable. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and at the end of that year, these customers accounted for 85% of our revenues and our accounts receivable, respectively. A loss of the business from these customers or any difficulty collecting our accounts receivable from them could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Relating to our Common Stock
One shareholder controls a majority of the voting power of our common stock, and his interest may conflict with those of investors.
Our Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer and President, Ajay Sikka, beneficially owns shares representing a majority of our common stock. He therefore is in a position to exercise substantial influence over the outcome of all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders, including the election of directors.
Our common stock may cease to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
We have applied to have our common stock listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “TRIQ.” Our application has not yet been approved, and there can be no assurance that it will be approved. If it is approved and our common stock is listed, we may not be able to meet the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market, which require, among other things, a minimum closing price of our common stock and a minimum market capitalization. If we are unable to satisfy the requirements of the Nasdaq Global Market for continued listing, our common stock would be subject to delisting from that market, and we might or might not be eligible to list our shares on another Nasdaq market. A delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq Global Market, particularly if we did not qualify to be listed on another Nasdaq market, could negatively impact us by, among other things, reducing the valueliquidity and market price of our common sharesstock.
The difficulties associated with any attempt to gain control of our company could adversely affect the price of our common stock.
Ajay Sikka has substantial influence over the decision as to whether a change in control will occur for our company. There are also provisions contained in our articles of incorporation, by-laws and California law that could resultmake it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of TraQiQ. These restrictions and limitations could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
There is currently not an active liquid trading market for the Company’s common stock.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets QB tier under the symbol “TRIQ”. However, there is currently no regular active trading market in our common stock. Although there are periodic volume spikes from time to time, a consistent, active trading market may not develop. Further, in the loss of your entire investment.
Participationevent this offering is subject to risks of investing in micro capitalization companies.
We believe that certain micro capitalization companies have significant potential for growth, although such companies generally have limited product lines, markets, market sharescompleted, and financial resources. The securities of such companies, if traded inour common stock is listed on the public market, may trade less frequently and in more limited volume than those of more established companies. Additionally, in recent years, the stock market has experienced a high degree of price and volume volatility for the securities of micro capitalization companies. In particular, micro capitalization companies that trade in the over-the-counter markets have experienced wide price fluctuations not necessarily related to the operating performance of such companies.
Currently, there is no established public market for our securities, and there can be no assurances that any established public market will ever develop or that our common stock will be quoted for trading and, even if quoted, it is likely to be subject to significant price fluctuations. |
Prior to the date of this prospectus,Nasdaq Global Market, there has not been any establishedis no assurance an active trading market for our common stock andwill develop or be sustained or that we will remain eligible for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. If an active market for our common stock develops, there is a significant risk that our stock price may fluctuate in the future in response to any of the following factors, some of which are beyond our control:
| ● | variations in our quarterly operating results; | | | | | ● | announcements that our revenue or income are below analysts’ expectations; | | | | | ● | general economic downturns; | | | | | ● | sales of large blocks of our common stock; or | | | | | ● | announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments. |
You may experience dilution of your ownership interest due to future issuance of our securities.
We are currently no establishedauthorized to issue 300,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. We may issue additional shares of common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in future public offerings or private placements for capital raising purposes or for other business purposes, or upon conversion or exercise of outstanding options, warrants, or preferred stock. The future issuance of a substantial amount of common stock, or the perception that such an issuance could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market whatsoeverprice of our common shares. A decline in the price of our common stock could make it more difficult to raise funds through future offerings of our common stock or securities convertible into common stock.
Our board of directors may issue and fix the terms of shares of our preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our common stock or any change in control of our company.
Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, with such designation rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the board of directors. Of these authorized shares, 50,000 shares have been designated Series A Preferred Stock but none of them are currently outstanding (see “Description of Capital Stock”). Our board of directors is empowered, without shareholder approval, to create additional series and issue additional shares of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. In the event of such issuances, the preferred stock could be used, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of our company.
We do not expect to pay dividends and investors should not buy our common stock expecting to receive dividends.
We do not anticipate that we will declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, you will only realize an economic gain on your investment in our common stock if the price appreciates, which may not occur. You should not purchase our common stock expecting to receive cash dividends. Since we do not pay dividends, and if an active trading market for our securities. Weshares does not develop, you may not have any manner to liquidate or receive any payment on your investment. Therefore, our failure to pay dividends may cause you to not entered intosee any agreement withreturn on your investment even if we are successful in our business operations. In addition, because we do not pay dividends we may have trouble raising additional funds which could affect our ability to expand our business operations.
Risks Related to the Offering
Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value.
The public offering price will be substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding shares of common stock. As a market makerresult, investors in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $_____ per share, based on the assumed public offering price of $_____ per share of common stock and the closing price of our common stock on ____________, 2021. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment will be diluted upon the completion of this offering.
In addition, during 2021 we agreed to fileissue up to an application with FINRAadditional 1,729,943 shares of common stock without additional consideration to the former owners of Rohuma contingent on our behalf so asthe financial performance of Rohuma and issued warrants to be ablethe former owners of Mimo for the purchase of up to quote the1,367,539 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share (of which warrants for 820,524 shares are currently earned and warrants for the other 547,015 shares are contingent on the OTCBB maintained by FINRA commencing uponfuture performance of the effectivenessMimo business). If these shares are all issued, investors in this offering will incur additional dilution of our registration statement. There can be no assurance that we will subsequently identify an market maker and, to$_____ per share, based on the extent that we identify one, enter into an agreement with it to file an application with FINRA or that the market maker’s application will be accepted by FINRA. We cannot estimate the time period that the application will require for FINRA to approve it. We are not permitted to file such application on our own behalf. If the application is accepted, there can be no assurances as to whether
(i) | any market for our shares will develop; |
(ii) | the prices at which our common stock will trade; or |
(iii) | the extent to which investor interest in us will lead to the development of an active, liquid trading market. Active trading markets generally result in lower price volatility and more efficient execution of buy and sell orders for investors. |
If we become able to have our sharesassumed public offering price of $_____ per share of common stock quoted onand the OTCBB, we will then try, through a broker-dealer and its clearing firm, to become eligible with the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") to permit our shares to trade electronically. If an issuer is not “DTC-eligible,” then its shares cannot be electronically transferred between brokerage accounts, which, based on the realities of the marketplace as it exists today (especially the OTCBB), means that shares of a company will not be traded (technically the shares can be traded manually between accounts, but this takes days and is not a realistic option for companies relying on broker dealers for stock transactions - like all companies on the OTCBB. What this boils down to is that while DTC-eligibility is not a requirement to trade on the OTCBB), it is a necessity to process trades on the OTCBB if a company’s stock is going to trade with any volume. There are no assurances that our shares will ever become DTC-eligible or, if they do, how long it will take.
In addition, our common stock is unlikely to be followed by any market analysts, and there may be few institutions acting as market makers for our common stock. Either of these factors could adversely affect the liquidity and tradingclosing price of our common stock. Until ourstock on ____________, 2021.
Our common stock is fully distributed and an orderly market develops in our common stock, if ever, the price at which it trades is likely to fluctuate significantly. Prices for our common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for shares of our common stock, developments affecting our business, including the impact of the factors referred to elsewhere in these Risk Factors, investor perception of us and general economic and market conditions. No assurances can be given that an orderly or liquid market will ever develop for the shares of our common stock.
Because of the anticipated low price of the securities being registered, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in these securities. Purchasers of our securities should be aware that any market that develops in our stock would be subject to the penny stock restrictions. See “Plan“penny stock” rules of Distribution”the SEC and “Risk Factors.”
Anythe trading market that develops in shares of our common stock will be subject to the penny stock regulations and restrictions pertaining to low priced stocks that will create a lack of liquidity and make trading difficult or impossible. |
The trading of our securities, if any, will be in the over-the-counter market,securities is limited, which makes transactions in the stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in the stock.
Our common stock is commonly referred to as the OTCBB as maintained by FINRA. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations assubject to the price of our securities.
Rule 3a51-1“penny stock” rules of the Exchange Act establishes the definition ofSEC because it has historically had a "penny stock," for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bidmarket price of less than $4.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $4.00$5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions that are not available to us. It is likely that our shares will be considered to be penny stocks for the immediately foreseeable future. This classification severely and adversely affects any market liquidity for our common stock.
certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person'srequire:
| ● | that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks after compliance with various information collection rules and a suitability evaluation; | | | | | ● | the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased; and | | | | | ● | the broker or dealer deliver a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC. |
If we are successful in our application to list our stock for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market and we are able to maintain that listing, our stock will cease to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relatingstock. However, if we cease to obtain and maintain that listing, we may again be subject to the penny stock market, which,rules. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in highlight form, sets forth:
· | the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination, and |
· | that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor priorsecurities subject to the transaction. |
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offerings and in secondary trading and commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Additionally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to engage in the above-referenced necessary paperwork and disclosures and/or may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in any secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities, if and when our securities become publicly traded.rules. In addition, according to the liquidity for our securities may decrease, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares, in all probability, will be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.
The market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses that could adversely impact investors in our stock. |
Our management believes thatSEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
· | ControlThese factors may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; |
· | Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; |
· | "Boiler room" practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by sales persons; |
· | Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and |
· | Wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses. |
Any trading market that may develop may be restricted by virtue of state securities “Blue Sky” laws that prohibit trading absent compliance with individual state laws. These restrictions may make it difficult or impossible to sell shares in those states. |
There is currently no established public market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that any established public market would develop in the foreseeable future. Transfer of our common stock may also be restricted under the securities or securities regulations laws promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as “Blue Sky” laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our common stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions. Because the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under the blue sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state blue sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. These restrictions prohibit the secondary trading of our common stock. We currently do not intend to and may not be able to qualify securities for resale in at least 17 states which do not offer manual exemptions (or may offer manual exemptions but may not to offer one to us if we are considered to because a shell company at the time of application) and require shares to be qualified before they can be resold by our shareholders. Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary market for our securities to be a limited one. See also “Plan of Distribution-State Securities-Blue Sky Laws.”
Because insiders control our activities, they may cause us to act in a manner that is most beneficial to them and not to outside shareholders, which could cause us not to take actions that outside investors might view favorably and which could prevent or delay a change in control.
Donald P. Hateley, our legal counsel, owns 13,000,000 common shares representing 78% of the outstanding common stock and our officers and sole director hold approximately 7.5% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, they effectively control all matters requiring director and stockholder approval, including the election of directors, the approval of significant corporate transactions, such as mergers and related party transactions. These insiders also have the ability to delay or perhaps even block, by their ownership of our stock, an unsolicited tender offer. This concentration of ownership could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of our company that you might view favorably.
The interests of shareholders may be hurt because we can issue shares of our common stock to individuals or entities that support existing management with such issuances serving to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of us. |
Our sole director has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued common shares. Such issuances may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management and the interests of existing management which may not be the same as the interests of other shareholders. Our ability to issue shares without shareholder approval serves to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of us.
Our articles of incorporation provide for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense and limit their liability that may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our shareholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers and/or directors. |
Our Articles of Incorporation at Article IV provide for indemnification as follows: “The liability of the Directors of the Corporation for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under California law. The Corporation is authorized to provide indemnification of agents (as defined in Section 317 of the Corporations Code) for breach of duty to the Corporation and its stockholders through bylaw provisions or through agreements with agents, or both, in excess of the indemnification otherwise permitted by Section 317 of the Corporations Code, subject to the limits of such excess indemnification set forth in Section 204 of the Corporations Code.”
We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with our activities, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question whether indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this matter if it were to occur is likely to be very costly and may result in us receiving negative publicity, either of which factors is likely to materially reduce the market and price for our shares, if such a market ever develops.
All of our presently issued and outstanding common shares are restricted under rule 144 of the Securities Act, as amended. When the restriction on any or all of these shares is lifted, and the shares are sold in the open market, the price of our common stock could be adversely affected. |
All of the presently outstanding shares of common stock (16,485,000 shares) are "restricted securities" as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and may only be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, if available. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who is not an affiliate and has held restricted securities for a prescribed period of at least six (6) months if purchased from a reporting issuer or twelve (12) months if purchased from a non-reporting Company, may, under certain conditions, sell all or any of his shares without volume limitation, in brokerage transactions. Affiliates, however, may not sell shares in excess of 1% of the Company’s outstanding common stock each three months. As a result of revisions to Rule 144 which became effective on February 15, 2008, there is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate (i.e., a stockholder who has not been an officer, director or control person for at least 90 consecutive days) after the restricted securities have been held by the owner for the aforementioned prescribed period of time. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available, or pursuant to registration of shares of common stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the common stock in any market that may develop.
We do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. |
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock at any time in the foreseeable future. The future payment of dividends directly depends upon our future earnings, capital requirements, financial requirements and other factors that our sole director will consider. Since we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock, return on your investment, if any, will depend solely on an increase, if any,decline in the market value of our common stock.
stock if it were to become subject to the penny stock rules.
Because we are not subject to compliance with rules requiring the adoption of certain corporate governance measures, our stockholders have limited protection against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.10 |
We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.
Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds of this offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section of this prospectus entitled “Use of Proceeds.” You will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately.

Pending the SEC,application of these funds, we may invest the New York and Americannet proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.
Risks Related to Our Reverse Stock Exchanges andSplit
Although on ______, 2021 we implemented a 1 for ___ reverse stock split, we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to comply with the minimum bid price requirement of the Nasdaq Stock Market tier on which we are listed.
We cannot assure you that the market price of our common stock following the reverse stock split will remain at the level required for continuing compliance with the minimum bid price for the Nasdaq market tier on which our common stock is listed or the minimum for listing on any other Nasdaq market. It is not uncommon for the market price of a company’s common stock to decline in the period following a reverse stock split. If the market price of our common stock declines following the completion of the reverse stock split, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of the reverse stock split. In any event, other factors unrelated to the number of shares of our common stock outstanding, such as a resultnegative financial or operational results, could adversely affect the market price of Sarbanes-Oxley, requiresour common stock and jeopardize our ability to meet or maintain Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement for its Global market tier. In addition to specific listing and maintenance standards, Nasdaq has broad discretionary authority over the implementationinitial and continued listing of various measures relatingsecurities, which it could exercise with respect to corporate governance. These measures are designed to enhance the integritylisting of corporate management andour common stock.
The reverse stock split may decrease the securities markets and apply to securitiesliquidity of the shares of our common stock.
The liquidity of the shares of our common stock may be affected adversely by the reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares that are listed onoutstanding following the reverse stock split. In addition, the reverse stock split may increase the number of stockholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares) of our common stock, creating the potential for such stockholders to experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and greater difficulty effecting such sales.
Following the reverse stock split, the resulting market price of our common stock may not attract new investors, including institutional investors, and may not satisfy the investing requirements of those exchangesinvestors. Consequently, the trading liquidity of our common stock may not improve.
Although we believe that a higher market price of our common stock may help generate greater or broader investor interest, there can be no assurance that the Nasdaq Stock Market. Because we are not presently required to comply with manyreverse stock split will result in a share price that will attract new investors, including institutional investors. In addition, there can be no assurance that the market price of our common stock will satisfy the corporate governance provisions and because we chose to avoid incurring the substantial additional costs associated with such compliance any sooner than legally required, we have not yet adopted these measures.
Because our sole director is not an independent director, we do not currently have independent audit or compensation committees.investing requirements of those investors. As a result, this sole director has the ability, among other things, to determine his own leveltrading liquidity of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governanceour common stock may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest, if any, and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.
We intend to comply with all corporate governance measures relating to director independence as and when required. However, we may find it very difficult or be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may make it more costly or deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles.
not improve.
You may have limited access to information regarding our business because our obligations to file periodic reports with the SEC could be automatically suspended under certain circumstances.11 |
As of the effective date of our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we will become subject to certain informational requirements of the Exchange Act, as amended and we will be required to file periodic reports (i.e., annual, quarterly and special reports) with the SEC which will be immediately available to the public for inspection and copying. Except during the year that our registration statement becomes effective, these reporting obligations may (in our sole discretion) be automatically suspended under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act if we have less than 300 shareholders and do not file a registration statement on Form 8A. If this occurs after the year in which our registration statement becomes effective, we will no longer be obligated to file periodic reports with the SEC and your access to our business information would then be even more restricted. After this registration statement on Form S-1 becomes effective, we may be required to deliver periodic reports to security holders. However, we will not be required to furnish proxy statements to security holders and our director, officers and principal beneficial owners will not be required to report their beneficial ownership of securities to the SEC pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act until we have both 500 or more security holders and greater than $10 million in assets. This means that your access to information regarding our business will be limited. If we do not file a form 8A.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We intend to file the form 8A.
We will incur ongoing costs and expenses for SEC reporting and compliance, without revenue we may not be able to remain in compliance, making it difficult for investors to sell their shares, if at all.
We plan to contact a market maker immediately following the effectiveness of this registration statement and apply to have the shares quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. To be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC. Market makers are not permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer does not meet this filing requirement. Securities already quoted on the OTCBB that become delinquent in their required filings will be removed following a 30 or 60 day grace period if they do not make their required filing during that time. In order for us to remain in compliance we will require future revenues to cover the cost of these filings, which could comprise a substantial portion of our available cash resources. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to remain in compliance it may be difficult for you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.
For all of the foregoing reasons and others set forth herein, an investment in our securities in any market that may develop in the future involves a high degree of risk.
Information in this Prospectus contains “forward looking statements” which can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “believes,” “could,” “possibly,” “probably,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “expects,” “may,” or “should” or other variations or similar words. No assurances can be givenestimate that the future results anticipated by the forward-looking statements will be achieved. The matters herein constitute cautionary statements identifying important factors with respect to those forward-looking statements, including certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary materially from the future results anticipated by those forward-looking statements. Among the key factors that have a direct bearing on our results of operations are the effects of various governmental regulations, the fluctuation of our direct costs and the costs and effectiveness of our operating strategy. Other factors could also cause actual results to vary materially from the future results anticipated by those forward-looking statements.
We will not receive anynet proceeds from the sale of the securities being registered pursuantcommon stock in the offering will be approximately $_____________, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, or approximately $___________ if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full.
We currently expect to use the net proceeds of this registration statementoffering primarily for the following purposes:
| ● | Approximately $8,500,000 to fund sales and marketing activities; | | ● | Approximately $4,000,000 for acquisitions of other companies, products or technologies involving software similar to that offered by TraQiQ or task worker services, although we have not currently entered into agreements or letters of intent for any such acquisitions; | | ● | Approximately $2,000,000 to fund engineering activities; | | ● | Approximately $2,000,000 to pay outstanding invoices and to repay approximately $_________ in outstanding debt with a weighted average interest rate of ___% and maturities ranging from ____ to ____; | | ● | Approximately $500,000 for working capital; and | | ● | The remainder for other general corporate purposes. |
We believe that the expected net proceeds from this offering and our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with interest thereon, will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months, although we cannot assure you that this will occur.
The amount and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on behalfnumerous factors, including the status of our development efforts, sales and marketing activities and the amount of cash generated or used by our operations. We may find it necessary or advisable to use portions of the Selling Security Holders.proceeds for other purposes, and we will have broad discretion and flexibility in the application of the net proceeds. Pending these uses, we will invest the proceeds in short-term bank deposits.
As
MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
TraQiQ’s common stock is traded on the OTCQB Market under the symbol “TRIQ.” Because the company’s common stock is not listed on a securities exchange and its quotations on OTCQB are limited and sporadic, there is currently no established public trading market for the common stock. TraQiQ hasapplied to The Nasdaq Global Market to list its common stock under the symbol “TRIQ”.
On ________, 2021, we completed a 1-for-___ reverse split of our shares, we have arbitrarily determined the offering pricecommon stock. All share and other terms and conditions relative to our shares and do not bear any relationship to assets, earnings, book value or any other objective criteria of value. In addition, we have not consulted any investment banker, appraiser, or other independent third party concerning the offering price for the shares or the fairness of the offering price used for the shares.
We have fixed the price of the current offering at $0.20 per share. This price is significantly greater than the price paid by our officers and director and founders for common equity since our inception on September 10, 2009. Our officers and director and founders received shares valued at $0.0001 per share a difference of $0.1999 per share lower than the share price in this offering, for services rendered.
Not applicable. We are not offering any shares in this registration statement. All shares are being registered on behalf of our Selling Security Holders.
We are registering, for offer and sale, shares of common stock held by 25 of our shareholders, which consist of the Selling Security Holders listed below. The Selling Security Holders may offer their shares for sale on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the 1933 Act. In regardinformation gives effect, retroactively, to the shares offered under Rule 415, we undertake in Part IIreverse stock split.
As of this registration statement to keep this registration statement current during any period in which offers or sales are made pursuant to Rule 415.
To date, we have not taken any steps to list our common stock on any public exchange. We intend to apply for listing on a public exchange as soon as meeting listing requirements; however,________, 2021, there is no assurance that a public exchange will grant us a listing. Moreover, if a public exchange grants us a listing for our common stock, the Selling Security Holders will be limited to selling the shares at $0.20 per share (the set offering price per share pursuant to this prospectus) until the shares are quoted on the Over-The-Counter (OTC) Bulletin Board or an exchange.
The following table sets forth information as of the date of this offering, with respect to the beneficial ownershiprecord of our common stock, both before and after the offering. The table includes all those who beneficially own any of our outstanding common stock and are selling their shares in the Offering. Other than Mark Salter, we are not aware of any Selling Security Holders being a broker-dealer or being affiliated with a broker-dealer.
NOTE: As of the date of this prospectus, our officers and sole director, Gary L. Blum, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary; and Michael F. Matondi, III, President, own 1,000,000 and 250,000 common shares, respectively, which are subject to Rule 144 restrictions. There are currently 29 shareholders of our common stock.
We base the percentages determined in these calculations upon the 16,485,000 of our common shares issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. The following table shows the number of shares and percentage before and after this offering:

Except as pursuant to applicable community property laws, the persons named in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock.
As a group, the 25 Selling Security Holders are hereby registering 1,485,000 common shares. The price per share is $0.20 and will remain so unless and until the shares are quoted on the Over-The-Counter (OTC) Bulletin Board or an exchange. The Selling Security Holders may sell at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices only after the shares are quoted on either the OTC Bulletin Board or an exchange.
The shares owned by all of our shareholders, which includes the Selling Security Holders and our officers, director and founders, were acquired in two issuances. On September 15, 2009, we issued 15,000,000 shares of its common stock, no par value, to our officers, director and founders at $0.0001 per share, in consideration of services rendered by them to us valued by our director at $1,500. From September 29, 2009 to April 9, 2010, we issued a total of 1,485,000 common shares for cash consideration of $148,500, or $0.10 per share, which was accounted for as a purchase of common stock.
In the event the Selling Security Holders receive payment for the sale of their shares, we will not receive any of the proceeds from such sales. We are bearing all expenses in connection with the registration of the shares of the Selling Security Holders.
To our knowledge, except for our officers, director and founders (Gary L. Blum, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary; and Michael F. Matondi, President), none of the Selling Security Holders have either (1) had a material relationship with us, other than as a shareholder as noted above, at any time since inception (September 10, 2009) or (2) ever been an officer or director of us.
We are registering 1,485,000 shares of common stock for possible resale at the price of $0.20 per share. The percentage of the total outstanding common stock being offered by the Selling Security Holders is approximately 9.0% based upon the 16,485,000 common shares that are issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. There is no arrangement to address the possible effect of the offerings on the price of the stock.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the Selling Security Holders. The price per share is $0.20 and will remain so unless and until the shares are quoted on the Over-The-Counter (OTC) Bulletin Board or an exchange. The Selling Security Holders may sell at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices only after the shares are quoted on either the OTC Bulletin Board or an exchange. However, our common stock may never be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or listed on any exchange.
If and when the common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or listed on an exchange, the Selling Security Holders’ shares may be sold to purchasers from time to time directly by, and subject to the discretion of, the Selling Security Holders. Further, the Selling Security Holders may occasionally offer their shares for sale through underwriters, dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling security holders and/or the purchasers of the shares for whom they may act as agents. The shares sold by the Selling Security Holders may be sold occasionally in one or more transactions, either at an offering price that is fixed or that may vary from transaction to transaction depending upon the time of sale, or at prices otherwise negotiated at the time of sale. Such prices will be determined by the Selling Security Holders or by agreement between the Selling Security Holders and any underwriters.
In the event that the Selling Security Holders enter into an agreement, after the effective date of this Registration Statement, to sell their shares through a broker-dealer that acts as an underwriter, we will file a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement and file the agreement as an exhibit to the amended Registration Statement. The amendment will identify the underwriter, provide the required information on the plan of distribution and revise the appropriate disclosures in the Registration Statement.
Any underwriter, dealer, or agent who participates in the distribution of the securities registered in this Registration Statement may be deemed to be an "underwriter" under the Securities Act. Further, any discounts, commissions, or concessions received by any such underwriter, dealer or agent may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. If and when a particular offer is made by or on the behalf of the Selling Security Holders, we will prepare a registration statement, including any necessary supplements thereto, setting forth the number of shares of common stock and other securities offered and the terms of the offering, including:
(a) | the name or names of any underwriters, dealers, or agents, the purchaselast reported sale price paid by any underwriters for the shares purchased from the Selling Security Holders, and |
(b) | any discounts, commissions, and other items constituting compensation from the Selling Security Holders, and |
(c) | any discounts, commissions, or concessions allowed, realized or paid to dealers, and |
(d) | the proposed selling price to the public. |
Pursuant to Regulation M of the General Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, no person engaged in a distribution of securities on behalf of a Selling Security Holder may simultaneously bid for, purchase or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase securities of the same class during the period of time starting five business days prior to the commencement of such distribution and continuing until the Selling Security Holder, or other person engaged in the distribution, is no longer a participant in the distribution.
In order to comply with the applicable securities laws of certain states, the securities will be offered or sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers in those states. In addition, in certain states, the securities may not be offered or sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in such states or an exemption from such registration or qualification requirement is available and with which Thunderclap Entertainment has complied.
In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the Selling Security Holders will be subject to applicable provisions, rules and regulations under the Exchange Act with regard to security transactions during the period of time when this Registration Statement is effective.
We will pay all expenses incidental to the registration of the shares (including registration pursuant to the securities laws of certain states) other than commissions, expenses, reimbursements and discounts of underwriters, dealers or agents, if any.
Any purchasers of our securities should be aware that any market that develops in our common stock will be subject to “penny stock” restrictions.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Any purchasers of our securities should be aware that any market that develops in our stock will be subject to the penny stock restrictions.
The trading of our securities, if any, will be in the over-the-counter markets, which are commonly referred to as the OTCBB as maintained by FINRA (once and if and when quoting thereon has occurred). As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of, our securities.
OTCBB Considerations
OTCBB securities are not listed and traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTCBB securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTCBB stocks are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.
To be quoted on the OTCBB, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. We are not permitted to file such application on our own behalf. We do not have an agreement with a market maker to file an application with FINRA on our behalf so as to be able to quote the shares of our common stock on the OTCBB maintained by FINRA commencing upon the effectiveness of our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. We intend to contact market makers in the future to file an application with FINRA on our behalf. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file an application or that if one agrees to file an application that its application will be accepted by FINRA. If a market maker agrees to file an application with FINRA, we cannot estimate the time period that the application will require to be approved by FINRA.
The OTCBB is separate and distinct from the NASDAQ stock market. NASDAQ has no business relationship with issuers of securities quoted on the OTCBB. The SEC’s order handling rules, which apply to NASDAQ-listed securities, do not apply to securities quoted on the OTCBB.
Although the NASDAQ stock market has rigorous listing standards to ensure the high quality of its issuers, and can delist issuers for not meeting those standards, the OTCBB has no listing standards. Rather, it is the market maker who chooses to quote a security on the system, files the application, and is obligated to comply with keeping information about the issuer in its files. FINRA cannot deny an application by a market maker to quote the stock of a company assuming all FINRA questions relating to its Rule 211 process are answered accurately and satisfactorily. The only requirement for ongoing inclusion in the OTCBB is that the issuer be current in its reporting requirements with the SEC.
Although we anticipate that quotation on the OTCBB will increase liquidity for our stock, investors may have difficulty in getting orders filled because trading activity on the OTCBB in general is not conducted as efficiently and effectively as with NASDAQ-listed securities. As a result, investors’ orders may be filled at a price much different than expected when an order is placed.
Investors must contact a broker-dealer to trade OTCBB securities. Investors do not have direct access to the bulletin board service. For bulletin board securities, there only has to be one market maker.
OTCBB transactions are conducted almost entirely manually. Because there are no automated systems for negotiating trades on the OTCBB, they are conducted via telephone. In times of heavy market volume, the limitations of this process may result in a significant increase in the time it takes to execute investor orders. Therefore, when investors place market orders - an order to buy or sell a specific number of shares at the current market price - it is possible for the price of a stock to go up or down significantly during the lapse of time between placing a market order and getting execution.
If we become able to have our shares of common stock quoted on the OTCBB, we will then try, through a broker-dealer and its clearing firm, to become eligible with the DTC to permit our shares to trade electronically. If an issuer is not “DTC-eligible,” then its shares cannot be electronically transferred between brokerage accounts, which, based on the realities of the marketplace as it exists today (especially the OTCBB), means that shares of a company will not be traded (technically the shares can be traded manually between accounts, but this takes days and is not a realistic option for companies relying on broker dealers for stock transactions - like all the companies on the OTCBB). What this boils down to is that while DTC-eligibility is not a requirement to trade on the OTCBB, it is a necessity to process trades on the OTCBB if a company’s stock is going to trade with any volume. There are no assurances that our shares will ever become DTC-eligible or, if they do, how long it will take.
Because analysts do usually not follow OTCBB stocks, there may be lower trading volume than for NASDAQ-listed securities.
Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act
Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act will cover our shares and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 promulgated thereunder. They impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses).
Rule 15g-1 exempts a number of specific transactions from the scope of the penny stock rules (but is not applicable to us).
Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful broker-dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the broker-dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document.
Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker-dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker-dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.
Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker-dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a customer unless the broker-dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction.
Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker-dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the sales persons compensation.
Rule 15g-6 requires broker-dealers selling penny stocks to provide their customers with monthly account statements.
Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $4.00OTCQB was $_____ per share or with an exercise price of less than $4.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions. It is likely that our shares will be considered to be penny stocks for the immediately foreseeable future. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stockon _________, 2021.
Any over-the-counter market which, in highlight form, sets forth:
· | the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination, and |
· | that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction |
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offerings and in secondary trading and commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Additionally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, which is likely, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities. If our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it difficult to dispose of our securities.
State Securities – Blue Sky Laws
There is no established public market for our common stock, and there can be no assurance that any market will develop in the foreseeable future. Transfer of our common stock may also be restricted under the securitiesreflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or securities regulations laws promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as "Blue Sky" laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our common stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions. Because the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under the blue sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state blue-sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. Accordingly, investors may not be able to liquidate their investments and should be prepared to hold the common stock for an indefinite period of time.
We will consider applying for listing in Mergent, Inc., a leading provider of business and financial information on publicly listed companies, which, once published, will provide us with “manual” exemptions in approximately 33 states as indicated in CCH Blue Sky Law Desk Reference at Section 6301 entitled “Standard Manuals Exemptions.” However, we may not be accepted for listing in Mergent or similar services designed to obtain manual exemptions if we are considered to be a "shell" at the time of application.
Thirty-three states have what is commonly referred to as a "manual exemption" for secondary trading of securities such as those to be resold by selling stockholders under this registration statement. In these states, so long as we obtain and maintain a listing in Mergent, Inc. or Standard and Poor's Corporate Manual, secondary trading of our common stock can occur without any filing, review or approval by state regulatory authorities in these states. These states are: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming. We cannot secure this listing, and thus this qualification, until after our registration statement is declared effective. Once we secure this listing (assuming that being a development stage and shell company is not a bar to such listing), secondary trading can occur in these states without further action.
Upon effectiveness of this Prospectus, we intend to consider becoming a “reporting issuer” under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, as amended, by way of filing a Form 8-A with the SEC. A Form 8-A is a “short form” of registration whereby information about us will be incorporated by reference to the Registration Statement on Form S-1, of which this prospectus is a part. Upon filing of the Form 8-A, if done, our shares of common stock will become “covered securities,” or “federally covered securities” as described in some states’ laws, which means that unless you are an “underwriter” or “dealer,” you will have a “secondary trading” exemption under the laws of most states (and the District of Columbia, Guam, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico) to resell the shares of common stock you purchase in this offering. However, four states do impose filing requirements on us: Michigan, New Hampshire, Texas and Vermont. We intend, at our own cost, to make the required notice filings in Michigan, New Hampshire, Texas and Vermont immediately after filings our Form 8-A with the SEC.
We currently do not intend tocommission and may not be ablenecessarily represent actual transactions.
Dividends
The company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock. The company currently intends to qualify securities for resale in other states, which require sharesretain future earnings, if any, to be qualified before they can be resold by our shareholders.
Limitations Imposed by Regulation M
Under applicable rules and regulations underfinance the Exchange Act, any person engaged inexpansion of its business. As a result, the distribution of the shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to our common stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of such distribution.
We have never paid cash or any other form of dividend on our common stock, and we docompany does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Moreover, any future credit facilities might contain restrictions on our ability to declare and pay dividends on our common stock. We plan to retain all earnings, if any,
Securities Authorized for the foreseeable future for use in the operation of our business and to fund the pursuit of future growth. Future dividends, if any, will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, capital requirements and on such other factors as our board of directors, in its discretion, may consider relevant.
There is no established public market forIssuance Under Equity Compensation Plans
The following table gives information about our common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of options, warrants and a public market may never develop. We will seek identify a market maker to file an application with FINRA sorights under our 2020 Equity Incentive Plan as to be able to quote the shares of December 31, 2020. Our shareholders have not approved this plan.

CAPITALIZATION
The following table sets forth our common stockconsolidated cash and cash equivalents and capitalization as of June 30, 2021. Such information is set forth on the OTCBB maintained by FINRA commencing uponfollowing basis:
| ● | an actual basis (giving effect, on a retroactive basis, to a 1-for-___ reverse stock split which was consummated on _____________, 2021); | | | | | ● | a pro forma basis to give effect to (i) the conversion on September 22, 2021 of the 50,000 outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into 55,195 common shares, (ii) the conversion of $2,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of related party notes with the CEO (who has agreed to convert this amount into common shares prior to the closing of this offering) into shares of common stock, using a conversion price of 80% of the public offering price, and (iii) an additional $600,000 in debt from a financing completed on September 17, 2021; and | | | | | ● | a pro forma as adjusted basis, giving effect to the pro forma adjustments above as well as the sale of the shares in this offering at the assumed public offering price of $_____ per share which was the last reported sale price of our common stock on the OTCQB on _________, 2021, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by us. |
The as adjusted information below is illustrative only and our capitalization following the effectiveness of our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and the subsequent closingcompletion of this offering. There can be no assurance as to whether we will identify a market marker thatoffering will be willing to file an application and, if we identify one and it agrees to file an application, whether such market maker’s application will be accepted by FINRA. We cannot estimate the time period that will be required for the application process. Even if our common stock were quoted in a market, there may never be substantial activity in such market. If there is substantial activity, such activity may not be maintained, and no prediction can be made as to what prices may prevail in such market.
If we become able to have our shares of common stock quoted on the OTCBB, we will then try, through a broker-dealer and its clearing firm, to become eligible with the DTC to permit our shares to trade electronically. If an issuer is not “DTC-eligible,” then its shares cannot be electronically transferred between brokerage accounts, which,adjusted based on the realitiesactual public offering price and other terms of the marketplace as it exists today (especially the OTCBB), means that shares of a company will not be traded (technically the shares can be traded manually between accounts, but this takes days and is not a realistic option for companies relying on broker dealers for stock transactions - like all the companies on the OTCBB). Whatoffering determined at pricing. You should read this boils down to is that while DTC-eligibility is not a requirement to trade on the OTCBB, it is a necessity to process trades on the OTCBB if a company’s stock is going to tradetable together with any volume. There are no assurances that our shares will ever become DTC-eligible or, if they do, how long it will take.
We do not have any common equity subject to outstanding options or warrants to purchase or securities convertible into our common equity. In general, under Rule 144, a holder of restricted common shares who is an affiliate at the time of the sale or any time during the three months preceding the sale can resell shares, subject to the restrictions described below.
If we have been a public reporting company under the Exchange Act for at least 90 days immediately before the sale, then at least six months must have elapsed since the shares were acquired from us or one of our affiliates, and we must remain current in our filings for an additional period of six months; in all other cases, at least one year must have elapsed since the shares were acquired from us or one of our affiliates.
The number of shares sold by such person within any three-month period cannot exceed the greater of:
· | 1% of the total number of our common shares then outstanding; or |
· | The average weekly trading volume of our common shares during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale is filed with the SEC (or, if Form 144 is not required to be filed, the four calendar weeks preceding the date the selling broker receives the sell order) This condition is not currently available to the Company because its securities do not trade on a recognized exchange. |
Conditions relating to the manner of sale, notice requirements (filing of Form 144 with the SEC) and the availability of public information about us must also be satisfied.
All of the presently outstanding shares of our common stock are "restricted securities" as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and may only be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, if available. The SEC has adopted final rules amending Rule 144, which have become effective on February 15, 2008. Pursuant to the new Rule 144, one year must elapse from the time a “shell company,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, ceases to be a “shell company” and files a Form 8-K addressing Item 5.06 with such information as may be required in a Form 10 Registration Statement with the SEC, before a restricted shareholder can resell their holdings in reliance on Rule 144. Form 10 information is equivalent to information that a company would be required to file if it were registering a class of securities on Form 10 under the Exchange Act. Under the amended Rule 144, restricted or unrestricted securities, that were initially issued by a reporting or non-reporting shell company or a company that was at anytime previously a reporting or non-reporting shell company, can only be resold in reliance on Rule 144 if the following conditions are met:
1. | the issuer of the securities that was formerly a reporting or non-reporting shell company has ceased to be a shell company; |
2. | the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; |
3. | the issuer of the securities has filed all reports and material required to be filed under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding twelve months (or shorter period that the Issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and |
4. | at least one year has elapsed from the time the issuer filed the current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company. |
At the present time, we may be classified as a “shell company” under Rule 405 of the Securities Act Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. As such, all restricted securities presently held by our twenty nine stockholders may not be resold in reliance on Rule 144 until: (1) we file a Form 8-K addressing Item 5.06 with such information as may be required in a Form 10 Registration Statement with the SEC when we cease to be a “shell company;” (2) we have filed all reports as required by Section 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Act for twelve consecutive months; and (3) one year has elapsed from the time we file the Form 8-K with the SEC reflecting our status as an entity that is not a shell company.
Current Public Information
In general, for sales by affiliates and non-affiliates, the satisfaction of the current public information requirement depends on whether we are a public reporting company under the Exchange Act:
· | If we have been a public reporting company for at least 90 days immediately before the sale, then the current public information requirement is satisfied if we have filed all periodic reports (other than Form 8-K) required to be filed under the Exchange Act during the 12 months immediately before the sale (or such shorter period as we have been required to file those reports). |
· | If we have not been a public reporting company for at least 90 days immediately before the sale, then the requirement is satisfied if specified types of basic information about us (including our business, management and our financial condition and results of operations) are publicly available. |
However, no assurance can be given as to:
· | the likelihood of a market for our common shares developing, |
· | the liquidity of any such market, |
· | the ability of the shareholders to sell the shares, or |
· | the prices that shareholders may obtain for any of the shares. |
No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of shares or the availability of shares for future sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of our common shares, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of the common shares.

DILUTION
Our pro forma net tangible book value (deficit) as of June 30, 2021 was approximately $1,041,284, or $0.03 per share of common stock based upon 33,659,683 shares of common stock outstanding on that date after giving pro forma effect to the conversion on September 22, 2021 of the 50,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding on June 30, 2021 into 55,195 shares of common stock, the conversion of $2,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of related party notes with the CEO (who has agreed to convert this amount into common shares prior to the closing of this offering) into shares of common stock, using a conversion price of 80% of the public offering price, and (iii) an additional $600,000 in debt from a financing completed on September 17, 2021. Pro forma net tangible book value (deficit) per share represents the amount of our total pro forma tangible assets reduced by the amount of our total pro forma liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on a pro forma basis, after giving effect to the same conversions and issuances.
Our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value (deficit) will be $___________ or $____ per share. Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value (deficit) per share represents pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value divided by the total number of shares outstanding on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the sale of the shares in this offering at the assumed public offering price of $____ per share, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by us. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of $____ per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $____ per share to investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering at the assumed public offering price.
The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis to new investors:

A $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed public offering price per share would increase or decrease our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value after this offering by approximately $________, and dilution per share to new investors by approximately $_____.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events.

We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all of those risks, nor can we assess the impact of all of those risks on our business or the extent to which any factor may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions.

TraQiQ was incorporated in the State of California on September 9, 2009 as Thunderclap Entertainment, Inc. On July 14, 2017, Thunderclap Entertainment, Inc. changed its name to TraQiQ, Inc. On July 19, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with the stockholders of OmniM2M, Inc. (“OmniM2M”) and TraQiQ Solutions, Inc. dba Ci2i Services, Inc. (formerly Ci2i Services, Inc. – amended November 6, 2019) (“Ci2i”) whereby the stockholders of OmniM2M and Ci2i agreed to exchange all of their respective shares, representing 100% ownership in OmniM2M and Ci2i in exchange for 12,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively. The OmniM2M Shareholders and the Ci2i Shareholders were issued their respective 12,000,000 shares on a pro rata basis based on their respective holdings in OmniM2M and Ci2i in the Share Exchange Agreement. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse merger whereas Ci2i is considered the accounting acquirer and TraQiQ, Inc. is considered the accounting acquiree. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements included the accounts of Ci2i for all periods presented and the accounts of TraQiQ, Inc. and OmniM2M, which was acquired by the Company on July 19, 2017 since the date of acquisition. For accounting purposes, the acquisition of OmniM2M is recorded at historical cost in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 805-50-25-2 as this is considered an acquisition of entities under common control as the management of the Company and OmniM2M control the activities of the respective companies. Prior to the merger with Ci2i and acquisition of OmniM2M, the Company was considered a shell company under Rule 12b-2 of Exchange Act. On December 1, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Ajay Sikka (“Sikka”), the sole shareholder of Transport IQ, Inc. whereby Sikka sold all of the shares in TransportIQ, Inc. (“TransportIQ”) in exchange for $18,109, in the form of cancellation of all of the debt of TransportIQ that was owed to the Company. The transaction became effective upon the execution of the agreement by Sikka and the Company; and Transport IQ, Inc, is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Because TransportIQ was commonly controlled and owned, the transaction was recorded at the historical carrying value of TransportIQ’s assets and liabilities.

Ci2i’s primary focus has been in the analytics and intelligence segments. The Company is investing significantly in building products in the area of supply chain and last mile delivery.
On May 16, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with TRAQIQ Solutions Private Limited (TraQ Pvt Ltd), formerly known as Mann-India Technologies Pvt Ltd. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of TRAQ Pvt Ltd. and assumed certain net liabilities in exchange for warrants exercisable over five-years to purchase up to 1,329,272 shares of common stock of the Company valued at $268 at an exercise price of $0.0001. The warrants are exercisable as follows: (i) 100,771 warrants immediately upon closing; (ii) 859,951 warrants exercisable one-year after the date of closing; and (iii) 368,550 warrants exercisable two-years after the date of closing. This transaction is being recorded as a business combination under ASC 805.
The warrants that are exercisable in one-year and two-years were conditioned upon TRAQ Pvt Ltd. achieving certain revenue figures and pre-tax profit percentages. For the warrants to become exercisable, TRAQ Pvt Ltd. was required to achieve target revenue of $1.1 million and pre-tax profit of 25% in 2019 and 2020, respectively, with the amount of such warrants becoming exercisable reduced proportionally to the extent TRAQ Pvt Ltd. failed to achieve these targets. A total of 419,127 of these warrants were cancelled effective May 16, 2021 as a result of these criteria not being achieved. Accordingly, 910,146 of the warrants remain exercisable.
Effective December 31, 2020, Ci2i acquired the net assets of OmniM2M and TransportIQ, and then dissolved those entities in January 2021. The value of those transactions were for the assumed liabilities of Omni and TransportIQ, and no cash was exchanged.

Issuance of the remaining shares is contingent upon Rohuma achieving certain revenue targets for the calendar years 2021 and 2022. The transaction was valued at $3,433,776 ($0.80 per share). Rohuma has an Indian affiliate that is owned 99% by Rohuma and 1% by its founding member. Rohuma controls this entity and the 1% ownership by the member is now less than 1% upon acquisition by the Company. This amount is reflected as a non-controlling interest.

Going Concern
The Company has an accumulated deficit of $6,008,129 and a working capital deficit of $8,120,378 as of June 30, 2021, compared to a working capital deficit of $2,851,721 as of December 31, 2020. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and/or obtain additional financing from its stockholders and/or other third parties.
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity or debt financing to continue operations, successfully locating and negotiating with other business entities for potential acquisition and /or acquiring new clients to generate revenues. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of the uncertainties.
In order to further implement its business plan and satisfy its working capital requirements, the Company will need to raise additional capital. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise additional equity or debt financing at acceptable terms, if at all.
There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. Those material accounting estimates that we believe are the most critical to an investor’s understanding of our financial results and condition are discussed immediately below and are particularly important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TraQiQ, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company applies the guidance of Topic 810 Consolidation of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) to determine whether and how to consolidate another entity. Pursuant to ASC paragraph 810-10-15-10, all majority-owned subsidiaries—all entities in which a parent has a controlling financial interest—are consolidated except when control does not rest with the parent.
Pursuant to ASC paragraph 810-10-15-8, the usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares of another entity is a condition pointing toward consolidation. The power to control may also exist with a lesser percentage of ownership, for example, by contract, lease, agreement with other stockholders, or by court decree.
Noncontrolling Interests
In accordance with ASC 810-10-45 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company classifies noncontrolling interests as a component of equity within the consolidated balance sheet. In January 2021, the acquisition of Rohuma resulted in a less than 1% non-controlling interest of the Indian affiliate of that company.

BUSINESS
Overview
TraQiQ (or the “Company”) helps businesses leverage the “gig” or task economy by providing both technology solutions and a network of workers required to fulfill those tasks. TraQiQ offers software that enables clients to build and manage a network of contractors referred to as “task workers.” This platform is also used by business clients to manage their employees who are performing services, such as PC repair or food delivery, for example, in a large geographic area. TraQiQ’s Mimo service operates a network of 14,000+ task workers in India. These task workers are independent contractors who make deliveries, collect payments, do background verifications, and fulfill tasks across the supply chain, as needed by businesses to deliver their products and services to their respective markets and customers.
Our Company
With current operations concentrated in India, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, we are servicing business supply chains with last mile delivery and mobile commerce. We help businesses in emerging markets leverage the gig economy with a two-prong approach as follows: 1) We offer our software as a service so our customers can build their own delivery networks and 2) We currently offer our network of over 14,000 task workers in India through our Mimo network, with plans to expand this network into other geographic regions within our current operating footprint.
The Company has 110 employees focused primiarly on software development and Mimo network operations, and a strategic planning team comprised of industry consultants who are looking at ways to further disrupt the supply chain across major industry segments. TraQiQ is continually looking at innovative ways to meet cutomer requirements faster, utilizing artificial intelligence (“AI”) tools to improve the customer experience by trying to predict their requirements in advance, while also regularly experimenting with new hardware technology like drones to improve deliveries. As we identify areas of both improvement and opportunity, our technology team works rapidly to meet those requirements.
With a strong team in place, a proven software solution, and an expanding network, as well as a customer base with global opearations, TraQiQ expects to expand into two new countries in the next twelve months. These markets will be in South East Asia and Latin America, where the company already has a presence, and for which this contemplated expansion will be faciltated by and accelerated, in part, with anticipated proceeds from this offering.
Market opportunity
The gig economy has grown over the last decade with the introduction of notable digital platforms such as Lyft, Uber, DoorDash Ola, Grab, Swiggy, Dunzo, and Task Rabbit, among others. With the rise of technology-enabled gig work platforms, more than 200 million people are now considered part of the global gig workforce, according to data from Mastercard Incorporated and Statista Inc..
With the growth of e-commerce, availability of task workers, and changes in general consumer behaviors in favor of “on-demand” products and services, we believe many businesses are increasingly moving towards, or participating in, a gig or task-based model. ASSOCHAM (India), projects the gig sector to grow to $455 billion (a cumulative annual growth rate of 17%) by 2024 in India and has the potential to expand at least two times the pre-pandemic estimates. ASSOCHAM (India) also estimates that India is likely to have 350 million gig jobs by 2025 (growing from the current 15 million as of May 2021), presenting a significant opportunity for job seekers to capitalize and adapt to the changing work dynamics.
Ernst & Young estimates that the e-pharma market in India will grow to $18 billion by 2023. We believe the COVID-19 pandemic may have accelerated this growth. Companies such as Amazon and Reliance have entered the medicine delivery market in India. TraQiQ’s Mimo service is preparing to enter the medicine delivery market in India.
In India, gig employment is not a novel concept. With its enormous informal economy and casual workers, India has long had the equivalent of gig work in both urban and rural areas, ranging from temporary agricultural workers to daily-wage construction laborers to delivery personnel. What has changed in recent years is the use of technology to match and expand on-demand services.
In the current world where so many people are ordering products ranging from food and drinks to medicine to socks online, we believe the “Last Mile” task worker represents a very valuable asset. This is the one and only direct connection to the customer for businesses fulfilling orders online. TraQiQ believes that “Last Mile” task workers are the only way for a business to establish a two-way relationship with the end customer to exchange information, money, transaction data and the actual goods.
This is where TraQiQ adds value, and it starts long before the actual delivery. The company’s technology helps our business-to-business customers with deliveries, assists with the financial transactions, and helps to build a long-term customer relationship via the Loyalty and Rewards program.
We believe the gig-economy model provides significant benefits for everyone within the gig eco-system:
| ● | The consumer gets instant gratification by, for example, receiving their food within an hour of ordering it. | | | | | ● | The employers can minimize their costs and have flexibility to increase or decrease their workforce on demand. | | | | | ● | Employees/contractors can have flexibility and opportunity, with the full control over their jobs, hours and who they work with provided by gig jobs. |
We believe the gig economy helps companies, employees, and the economy, with benefits that go beyond traditional conceptions of convenience, on-demand availability, and flexibility. This is due to the underlying economic factors that platform-enabled gig work addresses at scale, as well as the collateral advantages it can provide, which can lead to a virtuous expansion cycle.

Mimo Delivery and Task Services
TraQiQ operates the Mimo delivery and task service in India. This service runs on the TraQSuite platform. Mimo has 14,000+ independent contractors across India performing deliveries and fulfilling tasks for the largest corporations in the country. Our team at Mimo uses a sophisticated technology platform and a smartphone app to get their tasks completed. This is coupled with a verification and billing system that allows customers of all sizes to leverage this distribution infrastructure.
Mimo offers a broad set of services. These offerings can be classified into three broad categories:
| ● | Data collection and client verification (surveys, verification, on-boarding), | | | | | ● | Cash management & handling services, and | | | | | ● | Distribution and demand generation (order fulfilment, demand generation, delivery services for e-commerce companies) |
Mimo assists the delivery and pickup segment of the banking and insurance industry by performing verifications, field investigations for loan requests, business verifications and employment verification, and also collects documents, assists in filling forms for banks, and completes data collection from customers.
Mimo works with microfinance institutions to collect cash, such as loan payments, convert cash to digital means like debit cards, and conduct data collection and surveys.
For consumer goods companies, Mimo does promotional marketing, Last Mile (hyper-local) delivery, merchant onboarding or activation, store audits, and route optimization for delivery. Mimo provides efficient end-to-end transshipment logistics. The framework manages and optimizes last-mile delivery and e-commerce logistics across the entire distribution chain with transparency and seamless integration. Mimo is currently in the planning stages to provide food, alcohol & medicine deliveries as well.
During the Covid pandemic, Mimo leveraged video as a platform for verification and document delivery. Now, the task workers include people who are in the field on bikes and trucks, people on a video screen, as well as people on the phone.
There are also data digitization tasks being done by Mimo task workers across the country. In a country like India where there are over 20 languages and multiple dialects, the task workers convert paper documents into electronic form in the same language or translate them into another language.
Revenue for the Mimo services is entirely based on the number of deliveries or other tasks that are performed. The customer is typically charged a fee of $3-$5 depending upon the geography, duration of task and distance that the task associate must travel. Two thirds of the fee is shared with the task associate, and one-third is retained by Mimo. While this revenue model has worked well in India where the services are currently offered, we may adjust it as needed as the service is offered in other geographic areas.
Customers
TraQiQ’s geographic focus is emerging and smaller economies. These are markets where we believe the barriers to entry are lower and the market potential is high.
TraQiQ is serving or has serviced a variety of large customers over the years. Some of our representative customers, most of which were represented by accounts payable to vendors. We had no other long-term liabilities, commitments or contingencies.
Plan of Operation
Our businesswe are currently serving, include:
| ● | Railtel, one of the largest broadband infrastructure providers in India, which owns and operates a nationwide fiber network that runs alongside train tracks across India and for which Mimo collects subscriber payments. | | | | | ● | Multiple large banking and finance industry customers, such as Hero Finance Corp, Yes bank, Aditya Birla group, ICICI bank, Ratnakar bank and Edelweiss Finance, for whom Mimo does deliveries and pickup of financial documents. | | | | | ● | Companies such as Facebook, for whom TraQiQ has done surveys, Verify360, for whom TraQiQ has done background verifications, and Jio, for whom the company facilitates SIM activation. | | | | | ● | Companies such as Unilever Cambodia, Ben & Jerry’s, Lakme and others in South East Asia and Australia/New Zealand, for whom TraQiQ facilitates contactless ice cream delivery with a unique wallet and customer retention program, cosmetics products loyalty programs, and virtual point of sale (POS) systems for remote delivery. | | | | | ● | A white-labelled delivery service in New Zealand, for whom TraQiQ provided a complete software platform. | | | | | ● | Companies in Latin America such as Seguros Bolivar, Panafoto, and BBVA, for whom TraQiQ provides FinTech products and solutions. |
Although our strategy is to continue to develop and expand our website (www.thunderclapinc.com)business operations and customer base through our 2021 acquisitions of Rohuma and Mimo, most of our revenue has come historically from a few customers. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had two major customers comprising 87% of our revenues, and at June 30, 2021 these customers represented 87% of our accounts receivable. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and at the end of that year, these customers accounted for 85% of our revenues and our accounts receivable, respectively. We do not believe that the risk associated with these customers will have it operationalan adverse effect on our business in the future.
Growth Strategy
Our gross revenue grew by no later than50% from 2019 to 2020 to reach the $1 million mark. By the end of the second quarter of 2011 whereby individuals will be able2021, our gross revenue had already equaled our gross revenue for the entire 2020 calendar year. In addition to submit their screenplays, treatmentsour significant presence in India, Southeast Asia and other projects on the site. Theses submissions will be available for publicLatin America, we have recently announced new customers in Australia, New Zealand and parts of Africa.
Our strategy is to viewgrow our business through a combination of organic growth and critique. By the third quarter of 2011, we hope to have multiple submissions of screenplays, treatmentsstrategic investments that bring new functionality and other entertainment related projects and intend to continue with this method of seeking product from writers and others. We will evaluate the submissions and may commission a screenplay based on books and other ideas that we review. We intend to exclusively own all right title and interest in andrevenue streams to the underlying screenplay and any film derived from it.
The number of screenplays to which we will be able to secure production rights during the development stage will depend upon the success of securing financing for each project.company. We plan to developenhance the functionality of our existing products, increase sales in the Indian market and enter into new emerging markets. Our data currently shows that within the first six months our business customers have an average increase of transactions of approximately 20%, and their customer’s transactions through our software increase by 15-20% over that period.
We believe we can continue to grow the Mimo network of task workers in India and are currently evaluating markets in Southeast Asia & Latin America for launching the Mimo service, as well. We plan to go live in at least one screenplay based on the submissions we anticipate being uploaded to our website. There are currently no agreements in place between any funding sources and us for the production of any submissions. There can be no guarantee we will have enough funds to secure the rights of any screenplay in the future.
We intend to implement the following taskstwo new markets within the next twelve months:
Website: (Estimated costmonths.
As hardware technology evolves, TraQiQ’s strategy is to complete $1,000). Developingprovide additional delivery services by adding drones, e-bikes and robotic carts. The company has already had conversations with e-bike companies to equip the Mimo delivery team with electric bikes in the future.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Matters
TraQiQ’s Mimo service provides jobs across India. Most of the people who are doing deliveries and performing tasks are not college educated. Based on our records, over 70% of our current task workers do not have a website is criticalhigh school diploma. While many of them start with Mimo to reaching prospective screenwriterssupplement their other wages, they migrate towards spending most of their time with Mimo. Mimo gives them an opportunity to earn reasonable wages and they make their own hours. We believe many of these people would have a tough time finding jobs elsewhere due to lack of educational credentials. Many of them have grown into corporate roles at Mimo like trainers and supervisors.
Markets
In addition to its significant presence in India, Southeast Asia and Latin America, TraQiQ has recently added new customers in Australia, New Zealand and parts of Africa. Management regards Africa as having substantial growth potential. According to World Mobile Ltd., approximately 66% of sub-Saharan Africans do not have a banking relationship, but Plug and Play Tech Center estimates there are over 525 million smart phones in use in that area. We believe these customers would be likely candidates for phone-based mobile payment systems.
Competition
TraQiQ competes to some extent with several Last mile service providers with established global names as well as industry professionals. Our enhanced website, www.thunderclapinc.com,other service providers that are established brands in India. Unlike TraQiQ, many of these companies market directly to consumers rather than to other businesses. However, several of these competitors have significantly greater resources and name recognitions than TraQiQ.
TraQiQ’s Mimo service has a business-to-business (“B2B”) focus. This inherently results in longer term relationships with clients. We believe this, in turn, has a direct impact on longer term profitability. Mimo also has a deeper focus on semi-urban and rural areas, which we believe is a significant competitive advantage, as we believe most of our competitors have continued to focus on the larger cities. However, there is no assurance we will compete successfully or achieve profitability in the future.
We believe Mimo’s technology has some unique elements that provide strong differentiation. There are significant machine learning algorithms that power the service, enabling optimal route planning, reducing time to get a task done and minimizing agent productivity. There are modules in service that enable trackability and audit of all service elements.
We also compete with companies offering multiple software products. Larger companies have had software solutions for field-force management for a long time or have extended their products to include workforce management. Similarly, there are multiple fintech companies that offer products to facilitate transactions and payments. In the loyalty & rewards segment, there are also several companies with either a global or regional following.
TraQiQ believes its software solution is improved by its service network. We believe running a large-scale service provides a unique advantage to TraQiQ, as the real-time feedback from running the service enables the company to make continuous improvements to its software. In addition, TraQiQ goes beyond just the Last mile delivery. By providing a robust set of fintech and analytics solutions, TraQiQ provides a one-stop-shop for customers and partners.
Employees and Human Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2021 TraQiQ had a total of 110 full time employees. Approximately 100 of these employees are based in India. None of our employees is represented by a labor union, and we consider our company culture and employee relations to be designed generate intereststrong.
In addition, we have independent contractor relationships with approximately 14,000 “gig” workers throughout India who primarily provide delivery services and other tasks for business customers.
Intellectual Property
To date, TraQiQ has not obtained any patents on the software it has developed or registered any of its trademarks. Instead, the company protects its intellectual property rights by relying on national and local statutory and common law rights in our production conceptthe jurisdictions in which it operates, as well as attracting new writing talent. Ascontractual restrictions. TraQiQ enters into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with its technical employees and contractors, and confidentiality agreements with third parties who perform technical services. Although the company is not aware that its software or trademarks infringe the patents or trademarks of the dateany other party, it may face allegations by third parties, including its competitors, that aspects of this prospectus we anticipate completion of the website within 45-60 days.
Secure Rights to Screenplay: (Estimated cost $10,000). We estimate it will take approximately six to twelve months after the website is operational to secure theits software or trademarks infringe their trademarks, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights to a screenplay. We will attempt to acquire any screenplay rights with the issuance of our common stock to the writer.
Pre-Production Business Plan: (Estimated cost - None). Our officers and sole director will complete this without compensation. Once we complete the above tasks, we estimate completing a pre-production business plan within 30-45 days. This pre-production business plan together with the preliminary screenplay, budget, shooting schedule, production board and any talent commitment will be presented to prospective directors, actors, investors and/or financiers by our management.
If we are able to successfully complete the above goals within the estimated timeframes set forth and are able to raise additional proceeds above the minimum ($10,000) that may be needed to secure the screenplay, those funds would be allocated as follows:
Retain Screen Writer: (Estimated cost $10,000). After a screenplay has been secured, we estimate an additional three months thereafter would be required to secure a screenwriter. We intend to pay for this expense from the funding source for the production.
Completion of Screenplay: (Estimated cost $10,000). We believe the screenplay can be finalized within three months.
Secure Director, Actor(s) and Supporting Cast for Film Production: (Estimated cost $75,000- $125,000; this fee may be secured with issuance of the Company’s common stock – however, management cannot predict at this time if its common stock will be attractive to secure the above personnel). We believe this can be completed within 30-45 days after the screenplay has been written.
The following steps would require additional financing from a third party source or from the issuance of our common stock in the future. We believe if we are able to complete the above goals we would be in a position to obtain additional financing to complete the below tasks within the specified timeframe; however, there can be no guarantee or assurance that we will be successful in completing any of the above described tasks.
Secure Financing: We cannot provide any estimated cost for the financing aspect of the film, as there are multiple variables to financing the film. See “Financing Strategy” in the Description of Business section set forth below. We anticipate that we will be in discussions regarding the financing of a film, with various potential investors and/or participants, as soon as we identify a viable screenplay.
Film/Production: We plan to focus its business on the development and production of commercial feature-length motion pictures having budgets of up to $2 million. Estimated time to complete filming and production is estimated at nine to twelve months.
Secure Distribution Agreements: (Estimated cost $2,500). Upon completion of the film/production process we plan to seek and secure distribution agreements.
Our managementparticular jurisdiction.
Facilities
TraQiQ does not anticipate the need to hire additional full or part- time employees over the next six (6) months, as the services provided by our officers and director appear sufficient at this time. We believe that our operations are currently on a small scale that is manageable by these two individuals. Our management's responsibilities are mainly administrative at this early stage. While we believe that the addition of employees is not required over the next six (6) months, the professionals we plan to utilize will be considered independent contractors. We do not intend to enter into any employment agreements with any of these professionals. Thus, these persons are not intended to be employees of our company.
Our management does not expect to incur research costs in the next twelve months; we currently do not own any significant plants or equipmentproperty. The company has an office with approximately 2,800 square feet that we would seek to sellaccommodates its 100 employees in the near future; we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements; and we have not paid for expenses on behalf of our director. Additionally, we believe that this fact shall not materially change.

The preparation of financial statements and related notes requires us to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time, the estimate is made,company may become involved in various lawsuits and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the financial statements.
Financial Reporting Release No. 60 requires all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. There are no critical policies or decisions that rely on judgments that are based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made.

In 2011, we plan to focus our business operations on the development and production of commercial feature-length low-budget motion pictures having budgets of up to $2 million dollars. We plan to utilize our website to solicit projects from writers, directors, producers and agents. We anticipate promoting these film properties by assembling a business plan for presentation to prospective investors and financiers, consisting of the screenplay, a budget, shooting schedule, production board and identification of recognizable actor(s) or director(s) for the film. We plan to offer grants of our stock or options to acquire our stock in order to secure actor(s) and/directors participation in the films. There can be no assurance that actors and/or directorsDelaware company, in exchange for their participation in a film will ever considercommon stock and Mimo-Technologies Pvt Ltd, an Indian corporation, for warrants (and assumed debt).
DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
The following persons are our stock.
We intend to rent the equipment necessary to produce our films. Such rentals and temporary equipment are accounted for in the budget of each film in what are called the "below the line" costs that are directly charged to the production or the cost of "manufacturing" the film. We plan to rent whatever equipment is needed for the shortest period of time and to coordinate its use to avoid idle time.
Essential to our success will be the production of high quality action films having budgets of $2-Million or less that have the potential to be profitable. We believe the low budgets within which we intend to operate will serve the dual purpose of being low enough to limit our downside exposure and high enough to pay for a feature film with accomplished actors or directors that appeal to the major markets. It will be critical to our success that our budgets remain small enough so that a large percentage of our capital is not put at risk. In order to produce quality motion pictures for relatively modest budgets, we must avoid high overhead caused by large staff, interest charges, substantial fixed assets, and investment in a large number of projects that are never produced. We believe that by maintaining a smaller, more flexible staff, with fewer established organizational restrictions we can further reduce costs through better time management. There can be no assurance provided that we will be successful in coordinating all the components required to produce a high quality low budget film in the future. If we are not able to successfully produce a quality film in the future any investment made into us would be lost in its entirety.
We intend to be very selective when choosing literary properties to develop. They must have a rating of PG, PG-13 or R, and should be within the genres of suspense, horror, action drama or comedy action. We intend to select screenplays that will not require a lot of main characters or minor characters. We intend to select scripts that will not require more than 50 extras throughout the entire production or more than 20 extras in any single scene. We anticipate that the stories will take place between 25-35 different locations but we intend to limit production to no more than 5-10 physical locations. We do not intend to consider any scripts that will require more than two special effects scenes, location scenes involving talent, staff or crew travel or per diems, futuristic or period sets, props or wardrobe.
At this time we cannot provide any assurance that we will ever be able to produce a high quality action film in the future.
Financing Strategy
We will not be able to produce a feature film on our own with additional outside financing in order to produce a film. Primary responsibility for the overall planning, financing and production of each motion picture will rest with our management. For each motion picture we plan to employ an independent film director who will be responsible for, or involved with, many of the creative elements, such as direction, photography, and editing. All decisions will be subject to budgetary restrictions and our business control, although we will permit an independent director to retain reasonable artistic control of the project, consistent with its completion within strict budget guidelines and the commercial requirements of the picture. We cannot provide any guarantee that we will be able to ever employ a competent independent film director in the future to manage our anticipated films.
Whenever possible we will attempt to make arrangements with providers of goods and services to defer payment until a later stage in the production and financing cycle. Once a film package has been assembled, there are various methods of obtaining the funds needed to complete the production of a motion picture. Examples of financing alternatives include the assignment of our rights in a film to a joint venture or a co-producer. Alternatively, we may form a limited liability company or partnership where we will be the managing member or the general partner. We may also obtain favorable pre-release sales or pre-licensing commitments from various end-users such as independent domestic distributors, foreign distributors, cable networks, and video distributors. These various techniques, which are commonly used in the industry, can be combined to finance a project without a major studio financial commitment. We may, at management’s discretion, sell shares of our capital stock or exchange shares for services, to finance the production of films.
By virtue of using Canada as our primary shooting location, we may be able to obtain financial support from the Canadian federal and provincial governments. By filming in Canada, we expect to be able to borrow against tax credits obtained through Canadian federal and provincial production services tax credits. These tax credits will enable to us to recover 27% to 33% of eligible labor costs, or approximately 13.5% to 16.5% of our total production budget. Canadian banks commonly allow producers to borrow against such tax credits in producing motion pictures. We may also be able to access foreign government financing through international co-productions with treaty countries.
We may use any one or a combination of these or other techniques to finance our films. We anticipate that any financing method will permit us to maintain control over the production. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully arrange for such additional financing and to the extent we are unsuccessful, our production activities may be adversely affected.
Distribution Arrangements
Effective distribution is critical to the economic success of a feature film, particularly when made by an independent production company. We have not as yet negotiated any distribution agreements.
We intend to release our films in the United States through existing distribution companies, primarily independent distributors. We will retain the right for ourselves to market the films on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis throughout the rest of the world and to market television and other uses separately. In many instances, depending upon the nature of distribution terms available, it may be advantageous or necessary for us to license all, or substantially all, distribution rights through one major distributor.
To the extent that we may engage in foreign distribution of our films, we will be subject to all of the additional risks of doing business abroad including, but not limited to, government censorship, currency fluctuations, exchange controls, greater risk of "piracy" copying, and licensing or qualification fees.
It is not possible to predict, with certainty, the nature of the distribution arrangements, if any, that we may secure for our motion pictures.
Competition
The motion picture industry is intensely competitive. Competition comes from companies within the same business and companies in other entertainment media that create alternative forms of entertainment. The industry is currently evolving in such a way that certain multinational multimedia firms will be able to dominate this space because of their control over key film, magazine, and television content, as well as key network and cable outlets. These organizations have numerous competitive advantages, such as the ability to acquire financing for their projects and to make favorable arrangements for the distribution of completed films. All of our competitors will likely be organizations of substantially larger size and capacity, with far greater financial and personnel resources and longer operating histories, and may be better able to acquire properties, personnel and financing, and enter into more favorable distribution agreements. Our success will depend on public taste, which is both unpredictable and susceptible to rapid change.
As an independent film production company, we most likely will not have the backing of a major studio for production and distribution support. Consequently, we may not be able to complete a motion picture.
In order to be competitive, we intend to create independent motion pictures that may appeal to a wide range of public taste both in the United States and abroad. Moreover, by producing our films in Canada we believe that we will be able to significantly reduce production costs, and thereby offer our films to distributors at competitive pricing. Investors must be aware that at this time we have not produced any film and may not ever be successful in doing so in the future.
Intellectual Property Rights
Rights to motion pictures are granted legal protection under the copyright laws of the United States and most foreign countries, including Canada. These laws provide substantial civil and criminal penalties for unauthorized duplication and exhibition of motion pictures. Motion pictures, musical works, sound recordings, artwork, and still photography are separately subject to copyright under most copyright laws. We plan to take appropriate and reasonable measures to secure, protect, and maintain copyright protection for all of our pictures under the laws of the applicable jurisdictions. Motion picture piracy is an industry-wide problem. The motion picture industry trade association provides a piracy hotline and investigates all piracy reports. The results of such investigations may warrant legal action, by the owner of the rights, and, depending on the scope of the piracy, investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and/or the Royal Canadian Mounted Police with the possibility of criminal prosecution.
Under the copyright laws of Canada and the United States, copyright in a motion picture is automatically secured when the work is created and "fixed" in a copy. We intend to register our films for copyright with both the Canadian Copyright Office and the United States Copyright Office. Both offices will register claims to copyright and issue certificates of registration but neither will "grant" or "issue" copyrights. Only the expression (camera work, dialogue, sounds, etc.) fixed in a motion picture can be protected under copyright. Copyright in both Canada and the United States does not cover the idea or concept behind the work or any characters portrayed in the work. Registration with the appropriate office establishes a public record of the copyright claim.
Ordinarily, a number of individuals contribute authorship to a motion picture, including the writer, director, producer, camera operator, editor, and others. Under the laws of both the United States, and Canada, these individuals are not always considered the "authors," however, because a motion picture is frequently a "work made for hire." In the case of a work made for hire, the employer, not the individuals who actually created the work, is considered the author for copyright purposes. We intend all of our films to be works made for hire in which we will be the authors and thereby own the copyright to our films.
Canada's copyright law is distinguished from that of the United States by recognizing the moral rights of authors. Moral rights refer to the rights of authors to have their names associated with their work, and the right to not have their work distorted, mutilated or otherwise modified, or used in association with a product, service, cause or institution in a way that is prejudicial to their honor or reputation. Moral rights cannot be sold or transferred, but they can be waived. We intend that all individuals who contribute to the creation of any of our motion pictures will be required to waive any such moral rights that they may have in the motion picture.
For copyright purposes, publication of a motion picture takes place when one or more copies are distributed to the public by sale, rental, lease or lending, or when an offering is made to distribute copies to a group of persons (wholesalers, retailers, broadcasters, motion picture distributors, and the like) for purposes of further distribution or public performance. A work that is created (fixed in tangible form for the first time) on or after January 1, 1978, is automatically protected from the moment of its creation and is ordinarily given a term enduring for the author's life plus an additional 70 years after the author's death. For works made for hire, the duration of copyright will be 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is shorter.
Although we plan to copyright all of our film properties and projects, there is no practical protection from films being copied by others without payment to us, especially overseas. We may lose an indeterminate amount of revenue as a result of motion picture piracy. Being a small company, with limited resources, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to pursue our various remedies.
Motion picture piracy is an international as well as a domestic problem. It is extensive in many parts of the world. In addition to the Motion Picture Association of America, the Motion Picture Export Association, the American Film Marketing Association, and the American Film Export Association monitor the progress and efforts made by various countries to limit or prevent piracy. In the past, these various trade associations have enacted voluntary embargoes of motion picture exports to certain countries in order to pressure the governments of those countries to become more aggressive in preventing motion picture piracy. The United States government has publicly considered trade sanctions against specific countries that do not prevent copyright infringement of American motion pictures. There can be no assurance that voluntary industry embargoes or United States government trade sanctions will be enacted. If enacted, such actions may impact the revenue that we realize from the international exploitation of our motion pictures. If not enacted or if other measures are not taken, the motion picture industry, including us, may lose an indeterminate amount of revenue as a result of motion picture piracy.
Censorship
An industry trade association, the Motion Picture Association of America, assigns ratings for age group suitability for domestic theatrical distribution of motion pictures under the auspices of its Code and Rating Administration. The film distributor generally submits its film to the Code and Rating Administration for a rating. We plan to follow the practice of submitting our motion pictures for ratings.
Television networks and stations in the United States as well as some foreign governments may impose additional restrictions on the content of a motion picture that may wholly or partially restrict exhibition on television or in a particular territory.
Theatrical distribution of motion pictures, in a number of states and certain jurisdictions, is subject to provisions of trade practice laws passed in those jurisdictions. These laws generally seek to eliminate the practice known as "blind bidding" and prohibit the licensing of films unless theater owners are invited to attend screenings of the film first. In certain instances, these laws also prohibit payment of advances and guarantees to film distributors by exhibitors.
There can be no assurance that current and future restrictions on the content of our films may not limit or affect our ability to exhibit our pictures in certain jurisdictions and media.
Labor Laws
We are aware that the cost of producing and distributing filmed entertainment has increased substantially in recent years. This is due, among other things, to the increasing demands of creative talent as well as industry-wide collective bargaining agreements. Many of the screenplay writers, performers, directors and technical personnel in the entertainment industry who will be involved in our productions are members of guilds or unions that bargain collectively on an industry-wide basis. We have found that actions by these guilds or unions can result in increased costs of production and can occasionally disrupt production operations. If such actions impede our ability to operate or produce a motion picture, it may substantially harm our ability to earn revenue and result in our business to fail.
We will use non-unionized talent whenever possible to reduce our costs of production. Notwithstanding, many individuals associated with our productions, including actors, writers and directors, will be members of guilds or unions, that bargain collectively with producers on an industry-wide basis from time to time. Our operations will be dependent upon our compliance with the provisions of collective bargaining agreements governing relationships with these guilds and unions. Strikes or other work stoppages by members of these unions could delay or disrupt our activities. The extent to which the existence of collective bargaining agreements may affect us in the future is not currently determinable.
Status Of Any Publicity Announced New Products And Services
We currently have no new publicly announced products or services.

Dependence On Customers
The production of films is diverse so we will never be dependent on one source for our scripts or production needs.
Trademarks And Patents
We do not have any registered trademarks or patents; however, we may file for trademark protection in the future should our sole director deem it necessary.
Need For Any Government Approval Of Principal Products Or Services
We are also subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations generally applied to businesses, such as payroll taxes on the state and federal levels. We believe that we are in conformity with all applicable laws in California and the United States.
Research And Development
We have not spent a minimal amount of money on research and development activities.
Employees
At the present time, we do not have any employees other than our officers and sole director who devote their time as needed to our business and expect to devote 10 hours per week.
Legal Proceedings
We are not involved in any legal proceedings nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation against us. None of our officers or director is a party to any legal proceeding or litigation. None of our officers or director has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor relating to securities or performance in corporate office.

Possible Potential Conflicts

Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.
Corporate Governance
Board Independence
Our board of directors currently consists of four members. Of these, our board has determined that three (Mr. DuBois, Mr. Berman and Mr. Rankich) qualify as “independent directors” under the listing standards of The OTCBB on which we plan to have our shares of common stock quoted doesNasdaq Stock Market, Inc. and do not currently have any director independence requirements.
No membermaterial relationships with TraQiQ that might interfere with their exercise of management will be required by us to work onindependent judgment. In addition, TraQiQ is a full time basis. Accordingly, certain conflicts of interest may arise between us and our officer and director in that he may have other business interests“Controlled Company” as defined in the futureNasdaq listing standards because more than 50% of the company’s voting power is held by one individual. The company is, therefore, pursuant to which he devotes his attention, and he may be expectedNasdaq Marketplace Rule 5615(c)(2), exempt from certain aspects of Nasdaq’s listing standards relating to continue to do so although management time must also be devoted to our business. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through his exerciseindependent directors. Nevertheless, the company has voluntarily complied with some of such judgment as is consistent with each officer's understandingrules, and a majority of his fiduciary duties to us.
Currently we have only one officer and one director and will seek to add additional officer(s) and/or director(s) as and when the proper personnelmembers of the board of directors are located and terms of employment are mutually negotiated and agreed, and we have sufficient capital resources and cash flow to make such offers.
We cannot provide assurances that our efforts to eliminate the potential impact of conflicts of interest will be effective.

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee’s primary responsibility is to engage our independent auditors and otherwise to monitor and oversee the audit process. The Audit Committee also undertakes other related responsibilities as detailed in the Audit Committee Charter, including monitoring our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures and code of business conduct and ethics, discussing our risk management policies and reviewing and approving or ratifying any related person transactions.

Committees of the Board of Directors
Concurrent with having sufficient members and resources, our board of directors will establish an audit committee and a compensation committee. We believe that we will need a minimum of five directors to have effective committee systems. The audit committee will review the results and scope of the audit and other services provided by the independent auditors and review and evaluate the system of internal controls. The compensation committee will manage any stock option plan we may establish and review and recommend compensation arrangements for the officers. No final determination has yet been made as to the memberships of these committees or when we will have sufficient members to establish committees. See “Executive Compensation” hereinafter.
We will reimburse all directors for any expenses incurred in attending directors' meetings provided that we have the resources to pay these fees. We will consider applying for officers and directors liability insurance at such time when we have the resources to do so.

California Anti-Takeover Law and Certain Charter and Bylaw Provisions
Approval of Merger. Under the California General Corporation Law (the “CGCL”), most business combinations, including mergers, consolidations and sales of substantially all of the assets of a California corporation, must be approved by the vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock and any other affected class of stock of such corporation. The articles of incorporation or bylaws of a California corporation may, but are not required to, set a higher standard for approval of such transactions. Our amended articles of incorporation and amended bylaws will not set higher limits.
California Law. We are subject to the provisions of Section 1203 of the CGCL, which contains provisions that may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes in control in which our shareholders could receive a premium for their shares or other changes in our management. First, if an “interested party” makes an offer to purchase the shares of some or all of our existing shareholders, we must obtain an affirmative opinion in writing as to the fairness of the offering price prior to completing the transaction. California law considers a person to be an “interested party” if the person directly or indirectly controls our company, if the person is directly or indirectly controlled by one of our officers or directors, or if the person is an entity in which one of our executive officers or directors holds a material financial interest. If, after receiving an offer from such an “interested person”, we receive a subsequent offer from a neutral third party at least 10 days prior to the date for acceptance of the tendered shares or the vote or notice of shareholder approval of the offer from such an “interested person”, then we must notify our shareholders of such third party offer and afford each of them the opportunity to withdraw their vote, consent or proxy previously given to the “interested party” offer before such vote, consent or proxy becomes effective.
We are also subject to other provisions of the CGCL, which include voting requirements that may also have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers, disposing of our assets or delaying or preventing changes in control of our management. Under Section 1101 of the CGCL, except in (i) a short-form merger or (ii) a merger of a corporation into a subsidiary in which it owns at least 90% of the outstanding shares of each class, if a single entity or constituent corporation owns more than 50% of any class of our capital stock and attempts to merge our Company into itself or other constituent corporation, the outstanding shares, votingCompany’s non-redeemable securities may only be exchanged for non-redeemable securities of the election of directors can electsurviving entity, unless all of the directorsshareholders of the applicable class of non-redeemable securities consent to the transaction and except as provided in Section 407 of the CGCL regarding the issuance and disposition of fractional shares. Section 1001(d) of the CGCL provides that any proposed sale or disposition of all or substantially all of our assets to any other corporation that we are controlled by or under common control with must be elected,consented to by our shareholders holding at least 90% of the of the voting power of our capital stock or approved and determined fair by the DFPI, provided, however that this restriction does not apply if the disposition is to a domestic or foreign corporation or other business entity in consideration of the nonredeemable common shares or nonredeemable equity securities of the acquiring party or its parent. Sections 1101 and 1001 of the CGCL could make it significantly more difficult for a third party to acquire control of our Company by preventing a possible acquirer from cashing out minority shareholders or selling substantially all of our assets to a related party and therefore could discourage a hostile bid, or delay, prevent or deter entirely a merger, acquisition or tender offer in which our shareholders could receive a premium for their shares, or effect a proxy contest for control of us or other changes in our management.

Electronic Offer, Sale and Distribution of Securities
A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by one or more of the underwriters or selling group members. The representative may agree to allocate a number of securities to underwriters and selling group members for sale to its online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the underwriters and selling group members that will make internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on these websites is not part of, nor incorporated by reference into, this prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved or endorsed by us, and should not be relied upon by investors.
Stabilization
In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate-covering transactions, penalty bids and purchases to cover positions created by short sales.
Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase shares so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum, and are engaged in for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the shares while the offering is in progress.
Over-allotment transactions involve sales by the underwriters of shares in excess of the number of shares the underwriters are obligated to purchase. This creates a syndicate short position which may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of shares that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in the over-allotment option. The underwriters may close out any short position by exercising their over-allotment option and/or purchasing shares in the open market.
Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of shares in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared with the price at which they may purchase shares through exercise of the over-allotment option. If the underwriters sell more shares than could be covered by exercise of the over-allotment option and, therefore, have a naked short position, the position can be closed out only by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that after pricing there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.
Penalty bids permit the representative to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the shares originally sold by that syndicate member are purchased in stabilizing or syndicate covering transactions to cover syndicate short positions.
These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our shares of common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our shares of common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock in the open market may be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of these transactions. Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. These transactions may be effected in the over-the-counter market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
Passive Market Making
In connection with this offering, underwriters and selling group members may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of the shares and extending through the completion of the distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, then that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.
Other Relationships
Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates have in the past and may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for us and our affiliates for which they may in the future receive customary fees. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, ThinkEquity LLC acted as the placement agent for the private placement of convertible notes we completed in September 2021, for which it received compensation.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TraQiQ, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certainthe reported amounts of assets and disclosures. Accordingly, actualliabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates include, but are not limited to, management’s estimate of provisions required for non-collectible accounts receivable, depreciative lives of our assets, determination of technological feasibility, and valuation allowances of our deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The Company accounts for foreign currency transactions in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters” (“ASC 830”), specifically the guidance in subsection ASC 830-20, “Foreign Currency Transactions”. The U.S. dollar is the functional and reporting currency for the Company and its subsidiaries other than TRAQ Pvt Ltd. whose functional currency is the Indian Rupee. Pursuant to ASC 830, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with the resulting gains or losses upon settlement reported in foreign exchange gain (loss) in the computation of net income (loss). Gains or losses resulting from translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation with no effect on the Company’s net loss, total assets, liabilities equity or cash flows.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit at banking institutions as well as all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less of $29,658 and $9,094 as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Restricted Cash
The Company’s restricted cash balance consists of time deposits with financial institutions which are valued at cost and approximate fair value. Interest earned on these deposits in included in interest income. The carrying value of our restricted cash at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $28,746 and $182,627, respectively. The balances consist of time deposits pledged with financial institutions for a Line of Credit facility taken from Andhra Bank, issuance of overdraft limit.
Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company considers accounts receivable, net of allowance for returns and doubtful accounts, to be fully collectible. The allowance is based on management’s estimate of the overall collectability of accounts receivable, considering historical losses and economic conditions. Based on these same factors, individual accounts are charged off against the allowance when management determines those individual accounts are uncollectible. Credit extended to customers is generally uncollateralized. Past-due status is based on contractual terms. Management has determined that 0 allowance was required for the outstanding accounts receivable as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Property and Equipment and Long-Lived Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation on fixed assets are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to ten years.
FASB Codification Topic 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment” (ASC 360), requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The application of ASC 360 has not materially affected the Company’s reported earnings, financial condition or cash flows.
Intangible assets with definite useful lives are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets represent purchased intangible of TRAQ Pvt Ltd. which includes customer relationships and trademarks. The Company amortizes these intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 15 years. OmniM2M has had and currently does have computer software development underway, however, has determined that the costs associated with this development, currently do not meet the requirements for capitalization under ASC 985-20-25. OmniM2M will continue to monitor the development of such software in relationship to the requirements under the ASC in the future to determine if capitalization is warranted.
The Company has adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2017-04 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the provisionsTest for Goodwill Impairment. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The Company reviews recoverability of long-lived assets on a periodic basis whenever events and changes in circumstances have occurred which may indicate a possible impairment. The assessment for potential impairment is based primarily on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived assets from expected future cash flows from its operations on an undiscounted basis. If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
The Company will assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable at the time they do have intangible assets. Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
1. Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
2. Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and
3. Significant negative industry or economic trends.
When the Company determines that the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company will measure any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows. Management has determined that 0 impairment of long-lived assets is required for the periods ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Capitalized Software Costs
In accordance with the relevant FASB accounting guidance regarding the development of software to be sold, leased, or marketed, the Company expenses such costs as they are incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at and after which time these costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Once the technological feasibility is established per ASC 260.985-20, the Company capitalizes costs associated with the acquisition or development of major software for internal and external use in the balance sheet. Costs incurred to enhance the Company’s software products, after general market release of the services using the products, is expensed in the period they are incurred. The Company only capitalizes subsequent additions, modifications or upgrades to internally developed software to the extent that such changes allow the software to perform a task it previously did not perform. The Company expenses software maintenance and training costs as incurred. The Company has not capitalized any cost for software development for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company only capitalizes subsequent additions, modifications or upgrades to internally developed software to the extent that such changes allow the software to perform a task it previously did not perform. The Company expenses software maintenance and training costs as incurred. The Company acquired $146,065 in software costs in the Mimo transaction.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), specifically ASC 606-10-50-12. This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all industries and requires additional disclosures. The updated guidance introduces a five-step model to achieve its core principal of the entity recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted the updated guidance effective January 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method, however the new standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations, as it did not change the manner or timing of recognizing revenue.
Professional Service Revenue
TRAQ Pvt Ltd. derives a large part of its revenues from professional and support services, which includes revenue generated from software development projects and associated fees for consulting, implementation, training, and project management provided to customers using their systems. Revenue from arrangements with customers is recognized based on the Company’s satisfaction of distinct performance obligations identified in each agreement, generally at a point in time as discussed in ASC 606. In instances where multiple performance obligations are identified, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on relative selling prices of each distinct product or service, and recognizes revenue related to each performance obligation at the points in time that each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s performance obligation includes providing customization of software’s, selling of licenses, where the Company typically satisfies its performance obligations prior to the submission of invoices to the customer for such services. The Company’s performance obligation for consulting and technical support is delivered on as the work is being performed, which is satisfied prior to invoicing. The Company generally collects payment within 30 to 60 days of completion of the performance obligation and there are no agency relationships.
Software development arrangements involving significant customization, modification or production are accounted for in accordance with the appropriate technical accounting guidance issued by the FASB using the percentage-of- completion method. The Company recognizes revenue using periodic reported actual hours worked as a percentage of total expected hours required to complete the project arrangement and applies the percentage to the total arrangement fee.
Unbilled revenue represents earnings in excess of billings as at the end of the reporting period. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are excluded from revenues in the statements of operations.
TRAQ Pvt Ltd. has deferred the revenue and costs attributable to certain process transition activities with respect to its customers where such activities do not represent the culmination of a separate earnings process. Such revenue and costs are subsequently recognized ratably over the period in which the related services are performed. Further, the deferred costs are limited to the amount of the deferred revenues.
TRAQ Pvt Ltd. has now started offering an integrated solution for supply chain and last mile. This product called “TraQSuite” is now offered in multiple markets as a cloud-based subscription offering. This is a significant improvement from the earlier professional services business.
Software Solution Revenue
Revenue from arrangements with customers is recognized based on the Company’s satisfaction of distinct performance obligations identified in each agreement, generally at a point in time as discussed in ASC 606. In instances where multiple performance obligations are identified, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on relative selling prices of each distinct product or service, and recognizes revenue related to each performance obligation at the points in time that each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s performance obligation includes providing connectivity to software, generally through a monthly subscription, where the Company typically satisfies its performance obligations prior to the submission of invoices to the customer for such services. The Company’s performance obligation for hardware components that are purchased by the customer in connection with the solution is delivery of the purchased device, which is satisfied prior to invoicing. The Company provides a twelve-month warranty on their hardware. All units deployed by the Company are past the twelve-month period, thus the Company has not accrued for a warranty liability. The Company generally collects payment within 30 to 60 days of completion of the performance obligation and there are no agency relationships.

Costs of Services Provided
Costs of services provided consist of data processing costs, customer support costs including personnel costs to employees, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plansmaintain the Company’s proprietary databases, costs to provide customer call center support, hardware and stock appreciation rights, may be classified as either equity or liabilities. software expense associated with transaction processing systems and exchanges, telecommunication and computer network expense, and occupancy costs associated with facilities where these functions are performed. Depreciation expense is not included in costs of services provided.
Lease Obligations
The Company determines if an arrangement is a presentlease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities and operating lease liabilities, less current portion in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to settlemake lease payments arising from the share-based payment transaction in cash or otherlease. Operating lease ROU assets exists. A present obligation to settle in cash or other assets exists if: (a) the option to settle by issuing equity instruments lacks commercial substance or (b)and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present obligationvalue of lease payments over the lease term. For leases in which the rate implicit in the lease is implied becausenot readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of an entity's past practiceslease payments. Lease terms include options to extend or stated policies. If a present obligation exists,terminate the transactionlease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating lease arrangements is recognized ason a liability; otherwise,straight-line basis over the transaction is recognized as equity. lease term. The Company accountshas lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for stock-based compensation issued to non-employeesseparately.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted under the asset and consultantsliability method. The current charge for income tax expense is calculated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50 "Equity - Based Paymentsrelevant tax regulations applicable to Non-Employees" which codified SFAS 123entity. Deferred tax assets and the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus in Issue No. 96-18 ("EITF 96-18"), "Accounting for Equity Instruments thatliabilities are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services." Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year; and, (ii) deferredfuture tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements orexisting assets and liabilities and their respective tax returns.bases and for operating loss 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 the results of operationsincome in the period that includes the enactment date. ADeferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company follows ASC 740-10, prescribes a“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. This requires recognition threshold and measurement attributeof uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. Management evaluates their tax positions on an annual basis.
TraQiQ, Inc., TraQiQ Solutions, OmniM2M and TransportIQ file a consolidated income tax return in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction and various state tax jurisdictions. TRAQ Pvt Ltd. files income tax returns in all India tax jurisdictions. The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they were filed. The India tax returns of TRAQ Pvt Ltd. are subject to examination by the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740-10, a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable upon examination, based on its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position under ASC 740-10 would equal the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with aIndia Income Tax Department and India state taxing authority, having full knowledge of allgenerally for 12 months after the relevant information.

Related interest and penalties, if any, are included as components of income tax expense and income taxes payable.applicable.
No provision was made for Federal income tax.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and consist solely of computer equipment. Depreciation of computer equipment is computed on the straight-line basis over 3 years, the estimated useful life of the equipment.
Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the related assets.
For federal income tax purposes, depreciation is computed under the modified accelerated cost recovery system. For audit purposes, depreciation is computed under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the equipment.
Advertising Costs
Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. The Company has not incurred any such expenses since inception.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
The Company’s basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing its net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company’s dilutive earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing its net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments as defined by FASB
ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” includeInstruments,” requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. The carrying amount of cash, trade accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due toexpenses, stockholder advances, short term financing and convertible debt approximate fair value because of the shortshort-term maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at December 31, 2010.
FASB ASC 820 “those instruments. The Company does not utilize derivative instruments.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”
ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosuresdisclosure about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
● | 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 requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
The Company does not have any assets or liabilitiesfollowing provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on a recurring basis at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The Company did not have anythe degree to which fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured atis observable:
Level 1- fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted in active markets for identical assets or liabilities);
Level 2- fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3- fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on a nonrecurring basis duringobservable market data (unobservable inputs).
Financial instruments classified as Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets include cash.
These consolidated financial instruments are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the periods ended December 31, 2010inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment to estimation. Valuations based on unobservable inputs are highly subjective and December 31, 2009.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's financial statements are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. Revenues are recognized when evidence of an agreement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and goods have been delivered or services performed.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2010, the FASB codified the consensus reachedrequire significant judgments. Changes in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 08-09, “Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition.” FASB ASU No. 2010-17 provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research and development transactions. FASB ASU No. 2010-17 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved after the adoption date. The adoption of this guidance did notsuch judgments could have a material impact on fair value estimates. In addition, since estimates are as of a specific point in time, they are susceptible to material near-term changes. Changes in economic conditions may also dramatically affect the estimated fair values.
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management for the respective periods. The respective carrying value of certain financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include cash, investments, short-term notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivatives are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The conversion features of the convertible instruments are embedded derivatives and are separately valued and accounted for on the consolidated balance sheet with changes in fair value recognized during the period of change as a separate component of other income/expense. Fair values for exchange-traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. The pricing model we use for determining the fair value of our financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-09, Amendmentsderivatives are binomial pricing models. Valuations derived from this model are subject to Certain Recognitionongoing internal and Disclosure Requirements (“ASU 2010-09”), which is included in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) Topic 855 Subsequent Events. ASU 2010-09 clarifies that an SEC filer is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. ASU 2010-09 is effective uponexternal verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates and stock price volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves management’s judgment and may impact net income (loss).
With the issuance of the finalJuly 2017 FASB ASU 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” which addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features, the Company has chosen the early adopt retroactively the amendments in Part I of the standard whereby fair value derivative liabilities previously recognized were derecognized in the current and comparative periods. Under the amendments included in this update, the Company is no longer required to record changes in fair value during the period of change as a separate component of other income (expense) in the consolidated Statements of Operations.
The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and didas a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options”), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect.
Under current GAAP, an equity-linked financial instrument with a significant impact ondown round feature that otherwise is not required to be classified as a liability under the Company’sguidance in Topic 480 is evaluated under the guidance in Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” to determine whether it meets the definition of a derivative. If it meets that definition, the instrument (or embedded feature) is evaluated to determine whether it is indexed to an entity’s own stock as part of the analysis of whether it qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting. Generally, for warrants and conversion options embedded in financial statements.
In September 2009,instruments that are deemed to have a debt host (assuming the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investmentsunderlying shares are readily convertible to cash or the contract provides for net settlement such that the embedded conversion option meets the definition of a derivative), the existence of a down round feature results in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) ("ASC Update No. 2009-12").an instrument not being considered indexed to an entity’s own stock. This update sets forth guidance on using the net asset value per share provided by an investee to estimate the fair value of an alternative investment. Specifically, the update permitsresults in a reporting entity being required to classify the freestanding financial instrument or the bifurcated conversion option as a liability, which the entity must measure theat fair value initially and at each subsequent reporting date.
The amendments in this Update revise the guidance for instruments with down round features in Subtopic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity,” which is considered in determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting. An entity still is required to determine whether instruments would be classified in equity under the guidance in Subtopic 815-40 in determining whether they qualify for that scope exception. If they do qualify, freestanding instruments with down round features are no longer classified as liabilities and embedded conversion options with down round features are no longer bifurcated.
For entities that present EPS in accordance with Topic 260, and when the down round feature is included in an equity-classified freestanding financial instrument, the value of the effect of the down round feature is treated as a dividend when it is triggered and as a numerator adjustment in the basic EPS calculation. This reflects the occurrence of an economic transfer of value to the holder of the instrument, while alleviating the complexity and income statement volatility associated with fair value measurement on an ongoing basis. Convertible instruments are unaffected by the Topic 260 amendments in this Update.
Those amendments in Part I of this typeUpdate are a cost savings relative to current GAAP. This is because, assuming the required criteria for equity classification in Subtopic 815-40 are met, an entity that issued such an instrument no longer measures the instrument at fair value at each reporting period (in the case of investmentwarrants) or separately accounts for a bifurcated derivative (in the case of convertible instruments) on the basis of the existence of a down round feature. For convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features, applying specialized guidance such as the model for contingent beneficial conversion features rather than bifurcating an embedded derivative also reduces cost and complexity. Under that specialized guidance, the issuer recognizes the intrinsic value of the feature only when the feature becomes beneficial instead of bifurcating the conversion option and measuring it at fair value each reporting period.
The amendments in Part II of this Update replace the indefinite deferral of certain guidance in Topic 480 with a scope exception. This has the benefit of improving the readability of the Codification and reducing the complexity associated with navigating the guidance in Topic 480.
For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in Part 1 of this Update should be applied in either of the following ways:
| 1. | retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the first fiscal year and interim period(s) in which the pending content that links to this paragraph is effective; or | | | | | 2. | retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature for each prior reporting period presented in accordance with the guidance on accounting changes in paragraphs 250-10-45-5 through 45-10. |
The amendments in Part II of this Update do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
Basic net asset valueincome (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) include additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as convertible notes, preferred stock, stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reports a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive for periods presented.
Related Party Transactions
Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal stockholders of the investment (orCompany, its equivalent) if all or substantially allmanagement, members of the underlying investments used in the calculationimmediate families of principal stockholders of the net asset value is consistentCompany and its management and other parties with ASC 820.which the Company may deal where one-party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The update also requires additional disclosures by each major category of investment, including, but not limited to,Company discloses all related party transactions. All transactions shall be recorded at fair value of underlying investmentsthe goods or services exchanged. Property purchased from a related party is recorded at the cost to the related party and any payment to or on behalf of the related party in excess of the cost is reflected as compensation or distribution to related parties depending on the transaction.
Retirement Benefits to Employees

| (a) | In connection with the reverse merger in July 2017, the Company and two stockholders, who had provided related party advances to the Company, agreed to exchange their related party advances for 6% Convertible Promissory Notes that were originally due on January 15, 2018 (the “Notes”) in the amount of $68,077. From August 2017 through November 2017, the Company issued additional notes to four different parties (two of which were related parties) in the principal amount of $100,000 ($70,000 to related parties). In January 2018, the holders of the Notes agreed to extend the maturity to April 30, 2018, and in April 2018, agreed to further extend the maturity of certain notes to June or July 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the maturity of the notes were further extended to March 31, 2019 and then again to periods ranging from June 30, 2019 to December 31, 2019. The Notes bear simple interest at 6% unless the Company defaults, which increases the interest rate to 10%. The Holders, at their option, can elect to convert the principal plus any accrued interest, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate equal to eighty percent (80%) of the average closing share price as quoted on the OTC Markets for the five (5) trading days prior to the date of conversion. There are two notes that had a maturity date of June 30, 2019, with the remaining notes having a maturity date of December 31, 2019. These notes have not been extended and are currently in default. The Company has classified these notes as current liabilities. The Company has accrued the default interest on the two notes from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2020. | | | | During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received additional proceeds from a related party of $25,000 (from Dharam V.

Because the Notes are convertible into a variable number of shares of common stock based on a fixed dollar amount, in accordance with ASC Topic 480-10-50-2, the notes are recorded at the fair value of the shares issuable upon conversion. The excess of the fair value of shares issuable over the face value of the Notes is recorded as a discount to the note to be amortized into interest expense over the term of the note. |
Interest expense on these notes for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are $19,361 and $12,957, respectively.

TRAQ Pvt Ltd. was established in May 2000 and is headquartered in New Delhi, India. TRAQ Pvt Ltd. is a leading software development company which, with the advent of technology, has evolved as a mature and fast-growing company committed to provide reliable and cost-effective software solutions across industries all over the world.
TRAQ Pvt Ltd. has its own experienced team of software developers dedicated towards developing various kinds of customized software.
TraQ Pvt Ltd. has been doing business around the world for over 15 years, with particular emphasis on Latin America and India. The customer list includes large enterprise Finance and Insurance companies across Latin America. The company’s product portfolio has evolved rapidly and now includes enterprise ready solutions for payment processing, mobile wallets, micro lending solutions and digital transformation.
The Company helps businesses in emerging economies leverage the gig/task economy with a three-prong approach:
| ● | Target: We help companies target end-customer requirements, analyze their behaviors and offer them the right product or service at the right time. | | | | | ● | Transact: We facilitate end-customer transactions by providing a full set of fin-tech tools, including multi-tiered e-wallets, a settlement engine, and a workflow tool to enable digital commerce. | | | | | ● | Deliver: We provide cloud-based software solutions to manage delivery networks and, in addition, operate a nation-wide network of task associates who make deliveries and fulfill tasks across the supply chain in India. |
With operations concentrated in India, Southeast Asia and Latin America, the Company is capitalizing on such growing trends as customer analytics, digital payments taking the place of traditional banking transactions and last mile delivery using task associates.

With its Mimo subsidiary, the Company runs a delivery and task network of approximately 14,000 people across India.
Target
From its early uses for recommendations of on-line movie preferences and suggested products for on-line shopping, artificial intelligence has become a powerful tool for driving the transformation of business to digital platforms and facilitating business growth. The Company’s management believes the use and application of artificial intelligence solutions to the retail analytics market will grow rapidly as tech resources using it become more affordable and easily available.
The Company uses artificial intelligence tools to provide business intelligence and data solutions. The Company capitalizes on the desire of customers to be rewarded by helping its B2B clients build loyalty and rewards programs. Many businesses have started offering discounts and rewards to customers each time they use their mobile wallets or buy their product or service as a way to incentivize customers to remain loyal to their brand. Once some retailers begin offering such a program, customers expect it with all of their transactions, and retailers that do not offer such an incentive risk a competitive disadvantage. The Company can help in building a more effective dashboards for AI-based decision-making tools or can build real-time systems that monitor data feeds from customer transactions. The Company’s clients can use insights from this data to improve customer experience, improve their business operations and provide the right target audience for marketing initiatives.
The Company’s Kringle™ tool analyzes the behaviors and transactions of the customers of a business across multiple purchasing channels and delivers real-time intelligence to a business, enabling targeted marketing. Powered by an AI-based e-commerce Intelligence Engine developed over the past seven years by a team of machine learning engineers, data scientists and PHDs, Kringle™ is able to deliver real time, automated one-to-one recommendations and personalized content across all customer touch points.
Transact
Payment methods for goods and services have evolved over thousands of years from barter to precious metal coins to paper money to checks to credit cards and, most recently, to digital currency and payments. Digital payments convert traditional cash transactions to cashless ones using software and other modern technologies. Digital payments create efficiencies and save money, and they also leave a digital trail that protects the users.
The business world has aggressively moved toward digital payments with ACH payments, wire transfers and EDI-based solutions. In the consumer world, where customers have access to digital payment tools such as mobile wallets through financial institutions, their use has evolved from being a niche payment method for consumers who are digitally-savvy to a payment method which is mainstream. The Company views this untapped market for digital payments as an opportunity, both for businesses and financial institutions that want to supply products and services to these customers and for the Company to help businesses satisfy that customer demand.
The Company’s TraQSuite™ product offers an enterprise-ready suite of FinTech tools. TraQSuite enables payment processing, mobile wallets, micro lending solutions and digital transformation solutions. Users can virtually store and use financial assets including G2P, B2P, welfare, salary, cards and micro banking like loans and insurance. Both banked and unbanked end customers can buy products and services and pay with their mobile devices using TraQSuite. The system also allows businesses and their customers to settle their transactions across all wallets, vendors, currencies and geographies.
Deliver
In order to complete a sale, a business must actually deliver its products to its customers, which usually includes the “last mile” to the customer’s physical location. While this has always been significant, the global COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically increased demand for product delivery, turning a valuable additional service into a “must-have” capability for businesses. Last-mile delivery aims to transport or deliver an item to its recipient in the quickest way possible, and customers will often make purchase decisions based on the speed, cost and reliability of delivery of the product.
The traditional approach to last-mile delivery is owning an operational fleet, which poses a high risk and potentially high costs, making it an unattractive solution for all by the largest retailers. Smaller companies often prefer to partner with delivery network carriers (DNCs) to handle the delivery, which allows the retailer to transfer a portion of the risk to one or more DNC providers. DNC providers often adopt a “gig” mindset using short-term independent contractors to make the actual delivery, which allows a DNC provider to transact and operate at a pricefraction of $0.0001 per share. the cost of retaining and operating a delivery fleet. A “gig” business model uses a flexible work force of short-term, freelance independent contractors fulfilling targeted needs and paid on a per-task basis. This can benefit workers seeking lifestyle flexibility and businesses seeking a workforce sized to meet the needs of the moment.
The Company facilitates last-mile delivery and utilization of the “gig” workforce trend in two important ways – by providing software that allows its business clients to set up and manage last-mile delivery and task-based systems and by actually providing task-worker-based last mile delivery and payment collection systems in a major emerging market where there is no realistic alternative.
TraQSuite’s Last Mile software module provides a distribution platform that allows businesses to set up task-based networks rapidly – facilitating and validating transactions, and tracking and managing task associates. The Last-Mile software module enables a complete distribution engine for the new economy, designed to manage thousands of task associates across multiple geographies to deliver products and services to users while tracking the task associates and providing validation for the transactions. Mobile apps enable data sharing, validation and measurement of customer satisfaction.
In addition, the Company issued 250,000provides actual delivery and task-based services for businesses in one emerging market to solve problems that cannot be conveniently addressed using traditional methods. The Company’s Mimo-Technologies subsidiary runs a network of approximately 14,000 task associates in India. This team was set up by and is managed with the TraQSuite product. In addition to its rapidly growing business making task-based food, alcohol and medicine deliveries, Mimo is now collecting payments on behalf of B2B customers in India. The area of payment collections is especially critical for financial services companies who need to collect money from people without credit cards or a bank accounts. Mimo associates collect monthly payments from entrepreneurs with small microfinance loans for equipment or working capital. Mimo associates also collect payments from subscribers to Railtel, one of the largest broadband infrastructure providers in India that operates a nationwide fiber network running alongside train tracks. Mimo collects a transaction fee for each transaction that is completed. All the task associates are independent contractors who get paid for every task that is completed.

NOTE 7–GOING CONCERN
Presentation
The Company'saccompanying condensed consolidated financial statements arehave been prepared usingin accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. In their opinion, such financial information includes all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation at such date and the operating results and cash flows for such periods.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2021. Interim results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of future results for the full year.
Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TraQiQ, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company applies the guidance of Topic 810 Consolidation of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) to determine whether and how to consolidate another entity. Pursuant to ASC paragraph 810-10-15-10, all majority-owned subsidiaries—all entities in which a parent has a controlling financial interest—are consolidated except when control does not rest with the parent.
Pursuant to ASC paragraph 810-10-15-8, the usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares of another entity is a condition pointing toward consolidation. The power to control may also exist with a lesser percentage of ownership, for example, by contract, lease, agreement with other stockholders, or by court decree.
Noncontrolling Interests
In accordance with ASC 810-10-45 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company classifies noncontrolling interests as a component of equity within the consolidated balance sheet. In January 2021, the acquisition of Rohuma resulted in a less than 1% non-controlling interest of the Indian affiliate of that company. In February 2021, the acquisition of Mimo resulted in a less than 1% non-controlling interest of that company.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates include, but are not limited to, management’s estimate of provisions required for non-collectible accounts receivable, depreciative lives of our assets, determination of technological feasibility, and valuation allowances of our deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The Company accounts for foreign currency transactions in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters” (“ASC 830”), specifically the guidance in subsection ASC 830-20, “Foreign Currency Transactions”. The U.S. dollar is the functional and reporting currency for the Company and its subsidiaries other than TRAQ Pvt Ltd. whose functional currency is the Indian Rupee. Pursuant to ASC 830, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with the resulting gains or losses upon settlement reported in foreign exchange gain (loss) in the computation of net income (loss). Gains or losses resulting from translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation with no effect on the Company’s net loss, total assets, liabilities equity or cash flows.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit at banking institutions as well as all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less of $137,530 and $29,658 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Restricted Cash
The Company’s restricted cash balance consists of time deposits with financial institutions which are valued at cost and approximate fair value. Interest earned on these deposits in included in interest income. The carrying value of our restricted cash at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $165,488 and $28,746, respectively. The balances consist of time deposits pledged with financial institutions for a Line of Credit facility taken from Andhra Bank, issuance of overdraft limit.
Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company considers accounts receivable, net of allowance for returns and doubtful accounts, to be fully collectible. The allowance is based on management’s estimate of the overall collectability of accounts receivable, considering historical losses and economic conditions. Based on these same factors, individual accounts are charged off against the allowance when management determines those individual accounts are uncollectible.
Credit extended to customers is generally uncollateralized. Past-due status is based on contractual terms. Management has determined that an allowance of $160,403and $0was required for the outstanding accounts receivable as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Property and Equipment and Long-Lived Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation on fixed assets are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to ten years.
FASB Codification Topic 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment” (ASC 360), requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The application of ASC 360 has not materially affected the Company’s reported earnings, financial condition or cash flows.
Intangible assets with definite useful lives are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets represent purchased intangible of TRAQ Pvt Ltd. which includes customer relationships and trademarks. The Company amortizes these intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 15 years. OmniM2M has had and currently does have computer software development underway, however, has determined that the costs associated with this development, currently do not meet the requirements for capitalization under ASC 985-20-25. OmniM2M will continue to monitor the development of such software in relationship to the requirements under the ASC in the future to determine if capitalization is warranted.
The Company has adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2017-04 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The Company reviews recoverability of long-lived assets on a periodic basis whenever events and changes in circumstances have occurred which may indicate a possible impairment. The assessment for potential impairment is based primarily on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived assets from expected future cash flows from its operations on an undiscounted basis. If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
The Company will assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable at the time they do have intangible assets. Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
1. Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
2. Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and
3. Significant negative industry or economic trends.
When the Company determines that the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company will measure any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows. Management has determined that no impairment of long-lived assets is required for the periods ended June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Capitalized Software Costs
In accordance with the relevant FASB accounting guidance regarding the development of software to be sold, leased, or marketed, the Company expenses such costs as they are incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at and after which time these costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Once the technological feasibility is established per ASC 985-20, the Company capitalizes costs associated with the acquisition or development of major software for internal and external use in the balance sheet.
Costs incurred to enhance the Company’s software products, after general market release of the services using the products, is expensed in the period they are incurred.
The Company only capitalizes subsequent additions, modifications or upgrades to internally developed software to the extent that such changes allow the software to perform a task it previously did not perform. The Company expenses software maintenance and training costs as incurred. The Company acquired $146,065 in software costs in the Mimo transaction.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), specifically ASC 606-10-50-12. This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all industries and requires additional disclosures. The updated guidance introduces a five-step model to achieve its core principal of the entity recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted the updated guidance effective January 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method, however the new standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations, as it did not change the manner or timing of recognizing revenue.
Professional Service Revenue
TRAQ Pvt Ltd. derives a large part of its revenues from professional and support services, which includes revenue generated from software development projects and associated fees for consulting, implementation, training, and project management provided to customers using their systems. Revenue from arrangements with customers is recognized based on the Company’s satisfaction of distinct performance obligations identified in each agreement, generally at a point in time as discussed in ASC 606. In instances where multiple performance obligations are identified, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on relative selling prices of each distinct product or service, and recognizes revenue related to each performance obligation at the points in time that each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s performance obligation includes providing customization of software’s, selling of licenses, where the Company typically satisfies its performance obligations prior to the submission of invoices to the customer for such services. The Company’s performance obligation for consulting and technical support is delivered on as the work is being performed, which is satisfied prior to invoicing.
The Company generally collects payment within 30 to 60 days of completion of the performance obligation and there are no agency relationships.
Software development arrangements involving significant customization, modification or production are accounted for in accordance with the appropriate technical accounting guidance issued by the FASB using the percentage-of- completion method. The Company recognizes revenue using periodic reported actual hours worked as a percentage of total expected hours required to complete the project arrangement and applies the percentage to the total arrangement fee.
Unbilled revenue represents earnings in excess of billings as at the end of the reporting period. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are excluded from revenues in the statements of operations.
TRAQ Pvt Ltd. has deferred the revenue and costs attributable to certain process transition activities with respect to its customers where such activities do not represent the culmination of a separate earnings process. Such revenue and costs are subsequently recognized ratably over the period in which the related services are performed. Further, the deferred costs are limited to the amount of the deferred revenues.
TRAQ Pvt Ltd. has now started offering an integrated solution for supply chain and last mile. This product called “TraQSuite” is now offered in multiple markets as a cloud-based subscription offering. This is a significant improvement from the earlier professional services business.
Software Solution Revenue
Revenue from arrangements with customers is recognized based on the Company’s satisfaction of distinct performance obligations identified in each agreement, generally at a point in time as discussed in ASC 606. In instances where multiple performance obligations are identified, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on relative selling prices of each distinct product or service, and recognizes revenue related to each performance obligation at the points in time that each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s performance obligation includes providing connectivity to software, generally through a monthly subscription, where the Company typically satisfies its performance obligations prior to the submission of invoices to the customer for such services. The Company’s performance obligation for hardware components that are purchased by the customer in connection with the solution is delivery of the purchased device, which is satisfied prior to invoicing. The Company provides a twelve-month warranty on their hardware. All units deployed by the Company are past the twelve-month period, thus the Company has not accrued for a warranty liability. The Company generally collects payment within 30 to 60 days of completion of the performance obligation and there are no agency relationships.
The following is a summary of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, disaggregated by type: SUMMARY OF DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUE | | | 2021 | | | 2020 | | | Professional Services Revenue | | $ | 593,898 | | | $ | 463,385 | | | Sale of goods | | | 544,793 | | | | - | | | Software Solution Revenue | | | 180,697 | | | | 57,934 | | | | | $ | 1,319,388 | | | $ | 521,319 | |
Costs of Services Provided
Costs of services provided consist of purchase of goods, data processing costs, customer support costs including personnel costs to maintain the Company’s proprietary databases, costs to provide customer call center support, hardware and software expense associated with transaction processing systems and exchanges, telecommunication and computer network expense, and occupancy costs associated with facilities where these functions are performed. Depreciation expense is not included in costs of services provided.
Lease Obligations
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities and operating lease liabilities, less current portion in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For leases in which the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating lease arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted under the asset and liability method. The current charge for income tax expense is calculated in accordance with the relevant tax regulations applicable to entity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for operating loss 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 income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company follows ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. This requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. Management evaluates their tax positions on an annual basis.
TraQiQ, Inc., TraQiQ Solutions, OmniM2M and TransportIQ file a consolidated income tax return in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction and various state tax jurisdictions. TRAQ Pvt Ltd. files income tax returns in all India tax jurisdictions. The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they were filed. The India tax returns of TRAQ Pvt Ltd. are subject to examination by the India Income Tax Department and India state taxing authority, generally for 12 months after the relevant tax year, 24 months after the relevant tax year in case transfer pricing provisions are applicable.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, stockholder advances, short term financing and convertible debt approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. The Company does not utilize derivative instruments.
Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.
The following provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which fair value is observable:
Level 1- fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted in active markets for identical assets or liabilities);
Level 2- fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3- fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Financial instruments classified as Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets include cash.
These consolidated financial instruments are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment to estimation. Valuations based on unobservable inputs are highly subjective and require significant judgments. Changes in such judgments could have a material impact on fair value estimates.
In addition, since estimates are as of a specific point in time, they are susceptible to material near-term changes. Changes in economic conditions may also dramatically affect the estimated fair values.
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management for the respective periods. The respective carrying value of certain financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include cash, investments, short-term notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivatives are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The conversion features of the convertible instruments are embedded derivatives and are separately valued and accounted for on the consolidated balance sheet with changes in fair value recognized during the period of change as a separate component of other income/expense. Fair values for exchange-traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. The pricing model we use for determining the fair value of our derivatives are binomial pricing models. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates and stock price volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves management’s judgment and may impact net income (loss).
With the issuance of the July 2017 FASB ASU 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” which addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features, the Company has chosen the early adopt retroactively the amendments in Part I of the standard whereby fair value derivative liabilities previously recognized were derecognized in the current and comparative periods. Under the amendments included in this update, the Company is no longer required to record changes in fair value during the period of change as a separate component of other income (expense) in the consolidated Statements of Operations.
The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options”), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260).
The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect.
Under current GAAP, an equity-linked financial instrument with a down round feature that otherwise is not required to be classified as a liability under the guidance in Topic 480 is evaluated under the guidance in Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” to determine whether it meets the definition of a derivative. If it meets that definition, the instrument (or embedded feature) is evaluated to determine whether it is indexed to an entity’s own stock as part of the analysis of whether it qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting.
Generally, for warrants and conversion options embedded in financial instruments that are deemed to have a debt host (assuming the underlying shares are readily convertible to cash or the contract provides for net settlement such that the embedded conversion option meets the definition of a derivative), the existence of a down round feature results in an instrument not being considered indexed to an entity’s own stock. This results in a reporting entity being required to classify the freestanding financial instrument or the bifurcated conversion option as a liability, which the entity must measure at fair value initially and at each subsequent reporting date.
The amendments in this Update revise the guidance for instruments with down round features in Subtopic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity,” which is considered in determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting. An entity still is required to determine whether instruments would be classified in equity under the guidance in Subtopic 815-40 in determining whether they qualify for that scope exception. If they do qualify, freestanding instruments with down round features are no longer classified as liabilities and embedded conversion options with down round features are no longer bifurcated.
For entities that present EPS in accordance with Topic 260, and when the down round feature is included in an equity-classified freestanding financial instrument, the value of the effect of the down round feature is treated as a dividend when it is triggered and as a numerator adjustment in the basic EPS calculation. This reflects the occurrence of an economic transfer of value to the holder of the instrument, while alleviating the complexity and income statement volatility associated with fair value measurement on an ongoing basis. Convertible instruments are unaffected by the Topic 260 amendments in this Update.
Those amendments in Part I of this Update are a cost savings relative to current GAAP. This is because, assuming the required criteria for equity classification in Subtopic 815-40 are met, an entity that issued such an instrument no longer measures the instrument at fair value at each reporting period (in the case of warrants) or separately accounts for a bifurcated derivative (in the case of convertible instruments) on the basis of the existence of a down round feature. For convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features, applying specialized guidance such as the model for contingent beneficial conversion features rather than bifurcating an embedded derivative also reduces cost and complexity. Under that specialized guidance, the issuer recognizes the intrinsic value of the feature only when the feature becomes beneficial instead of bifurcating the conversion option and measuring it at fair value each reporting period.
The amendments in Part II of this Update replace the indefinite deferral of certain guidance in Topic 480 with a scope exception. This has the benefit of improving the readability of the Codification and reducing the complexity associated with navigating the guidance in Topic 480.
For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in Part 1 of this Update should be applied in either of the following ways:
| 1. | retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the first fiscal year and interim period(s) in which the pending content that links to this paragraph is effective; or | | | | | 2. | retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature for each prior reporting period presented in accordance with the guidance on accounting changes in paragraphs 250-10-45-5 through 45-10. |
The amendments in Part II of this Update do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) include additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as convertible notes, preferred stock, stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reports a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive for periods presented.
Related Party Transactions
Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal stockholders of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal stockholders of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal where one-party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions. All transactions shall be recorded at fair value of the goods or services exchanged. Property purchased from a related party is recorded at the cost to the related party and any payment to or on behalf of the related party in excess of the cost is reflected as compensation or distribution to related parties depending on the transaction.
Retirement Benefits to Employees
Defined Contribution Plan
In India, the employees receive benefits from a provident fund, where the employer and employees each make monthly contributions to the plan at a pre-determined rate to the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner. Employer’s contributions to the fund is charged as an expense in the Statements of Operations.
Defined Benefit Plan
In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, applicable for Indian companies, TRAQ Pvt Ltd. provides for a lump sum payment to eligible employees, at retirement or termination of employment based on the last drawn salary and years of employment with the Company. Current service costs for defined benefit plans are accrued in the period to which they relate. The liability in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated annually by TRAQ Pvt Ltd. TRAQ Pvt Ltd. records annual amounts relating to its defined benefit plans based on calculations that incorporate various actuarial and other assumptions, including discount rates, mortality, assumed rates of return, compensation increases and turnover rates. TRAQ Pvt Ltd. reserves its assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate to do so. TRAQ Pvt Ltd.’s obligation in respect of the gratuity plan, which is a defined benefit plan, is provided for based on actuarial valuation.
Other Long-Term Employee Benefits
TRAQ Pvt Ltd.’s net obligation in respect of leave encashment is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian government securities at the reporting date that have maturity dates approximating the terms of TRAQ Pvt Ltd.’s obligations. The calculation is performed using the projected unit credit method. Any actuarial gains or losses are recognized.
Investments
The Company’s investments are in debt and equity instruments. These investments are accounted for in accordance with ASC 320 Investments – Debt Securities and ASC 321 Investments – Equity Securities. Interest earned under such investments are included in interest income.
Segment Reporting
For purposes of segment disclosures, two or more operating segments should be grouped only if the segments meet all the requirements of paragraph 280-10-50-11, including the requirements for similar economic characteristics.
As a result, all operating units perform similar services, and approximately 99% of the Company’s revenue is generated from its Indian subsidiary. The Company believes that no segment reporting is required as all remaining operations outside of the Indian subsidiary is immaterial.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
There were updates recently issued, most of which represent technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries or transactions that are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Going Concern
The Company has an accumulated deficit of $6,008,129 and a working capital deficit of $8,120,378, as of June 30, 2021, and a working capital deficit of $2,851,721 as of December 31, 2020. As a result of these factors, management has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company ability to continue as a going concern.
These consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and liquidationthe satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.business over a reasonable period. The Company has not yet established a source of revenues to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The abilityconsolidated financial statements 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 operations.
Management intends to focus on raising additional funds for the first and second quarters going forward. We cannot provide any assurance or guarantee that we will be able to generate revenues. Potential investors must be aware if we were unable to raise additional funds through the sale of our common stock and generate sufficient revenues, any investment made into the Company would be lost in its entirety.
The Company has net losses for the period from September 10, 2009 (inception) to December 31, 2010 of $135,154. 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 attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that mightmay result from the outcome of the uncertainties.
The Company plans to raise additional capital to carry out its business plan. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through future equity and debt securities issuances is unknown. Obtaining additional financing and the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, ultimately, to profitable operations, are necessary for the Company to continue operations.

| (a) | In connection with the reverse merger in July 2017, the Company and two stockholders, who had provided related party advances to the Company, agreed to exchange their related party advances for 6% Convertible Promissory Notes that were originally due on January 15, 2018 (the “Notes”) in the amount of $68,077. From August 2017 through November 2017, the Company issued additional notes to four different parties (two of which were related parties) in the principal amount of $100,000 ($70,000 to related parties). In January 2018, the holders of the Notes agreed to extend the maturity to April 30, 2018, and in April 2018, agreed to further extend the maturity of certain notes to June or July 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the maturity of the notes were further extended to March 31, 2019 and then again to periods ranging from June 30, 2019 to December 31, 2019. The Notes bear simple interest at 6% unless the Company defaults, which increases the interest rate to 10%. The Holders, at their option, can elect to convert the principal plus any accrued interest, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate equal to eighty percent (80%) of the average closing share price as quoted on the OTC Markets for the five (5) trading days prior to the date of conversion. There are two notes that had a maturity date of June 30, 2019, with the remaining notes having a maturity date of December 31, 2019. These notes had not been extended and were in default until June 30, 2021, when the note holders agreed to extend the debt until October 31, 2021, with no other changes to the notes. The Company has classified these notes as current liabilities. The Company had accrued the default interest on the two notes from July 1, 2019 through March 4, 2021. On March 5, 2021, the Company converted $156,250 in convertible notes which includes the excess of the fair value of shares issuable over the face value of the convertible notes along with $31,046 in accrued interest into 187,296 shares of common stock. | | | | | | During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received additional proceeds from a related party of $25,000 (from Dharam V. Sikka, father of CEO) pursuant to a convertible note payable issued in May 2018, with the same interest rate and conversion terms as the Notes described above, initially maturing on December 31, 2018, which has been extended to March 31, 2019 and then again to December 31, 2019. Because the Notes are convertible into a variable number of shares of common stock based on a fixed dollar amount, in accordance with ASC Topic 480-10-50-2, the notes are recorded at the fair value of the shares issuable upon conversion. The excess of the fair value of shares issuable over the face value of the Notes is recorded as a discount to the note to be amortized into interest expense over the term of the note. |
Interest expense on these notes for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are $5,499 and $9,627, respectively.
