( a Delaware limited liability company), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, and the related statement of operations, statement of changes in convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s responsibility for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Notes to financial statements
1. | Organization |
Wheelz, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on February 28, 2011. The Company is a venture-backed startup that is introducing a better approach to personal transportation and car ownership, as well as developing new models for car-sharing. The Company’s car-sharing platform provides an opportunity for car owners to securely lease their vehicles. Members register through an online site and can search for available cars. Rental rates are set by the car owner with the Company facilitating payment and retaining a portion of the rental fee.
The Company installs a proprietary piece of equipment called DriveBox in a customer’s vehicle. The equipment is integrated with the Company’s platform and enables a variety of functionality. The functionality includes but is not limited to tracking a vehicle, locking/unlocking, and honking the horn with the objective of enabling a seamless car-sharing experience.
Operations are focused in California as well as in the San Francisco, California metro area. On February 10, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with various investors to exchange 12,888,513 Series A Preferred Shares of stock for approximately $13.7M in financing. In connection with the exchange, the debt holders converted approximately $2M of debt into Series A Preferred Shares of stock.
2. | Summary of significant accounting policies |
Company financing
The Company has incurred losses from inception through December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2012 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $7,982,758. The Company believes that its current cash and cash equivalents on hand and generated from operations will be sufficient to meet operating expense requirements into the foreseeable future.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions in determining reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. Therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Grant Thornton LLP U.S. member firm of Grant Thornton International Ltd | Wheelz, Inc. Financial Statements 2012 | 9 |
Revenues
The Company’s revenue consists primarily of rental fee revenue and a transaction fee earned from completed reservations. Vehicle owners utilizing the Company’s service may securely rent their vehicles on an hourly or daily rental period basis. Revenue from a completed reservation is recognized on the date the vehicle rental period for a given reservation ends and all obligations to the driver have been satisfied. The Company reports rental fee revenue using the net revenue method. The Company is not the primary obligor nor does it have inventory risk. The Company’s car owners set their own hourly or other daily rental period rates on their vehicles. The Company collects the agreed-upon rental fee from the vehicle driver, retains its commission and remits the balance to the vehicle owner on a monthly basis. The Company retains 100% of the transaction fees for each completed reservation. In certain situations, the Company may charge a penalty fee to drivers for a violation of the rental terms. Penalty fees are subject to the same revenue share arrangement with the vehicle owner as rental fee revenues. The Company also may bill a driver for excessive wear and tear as a pass through fee with a 100% remitted to the vehicle owner.
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues consists primarily of insurance, vehicle and driver on-boarding costs, fleet operations costs, DriveBox hardware depreciation on fleet vehicles and DriveBox removal costs for de-fleeted vehicles. Vehicle on-boarding costs are captured as a pre-paid expense and are then amortized to cost of revenues over the estimated 24-month useful life of the vehicle. DriveBox units installed in fleet vehicles are recorded as a fixed asset and depreciated over the estimated 24-month vehicles useful life. In the event a DriveBox unit is uninstalled from a fleet vehicle, the net book value is written off to the cost of revenues.
Website development and internally developed software costs
The Company uses internal and third party resources for the development of its website, front and back-end applications, and mobile applications. Installment payments made during each project’s development are tracked in a work in progress fixed asset account. Upon completion, the total cost of the project is transferred to the finished product account and is depreciated over its useful life; typically over three years using the straight-line method. Software development expenses are capitalized. Project management and other indirect costs are expensed as incurred.
The Company capitalized $853,099 in website and internal-use software costs during 2012, which is included in property and equipment on the balance sheet. Amortization expense is included in other operating expenses and totaled $216,926 during 2012.
Research and development
Costs associated with technical product development are expensed as incurred. Contractor and consultant labor used in the design and development of hardware and software is expensed in the period the services are performed. Hardware prototype costs are also expensed as incurred.
Grant Thornton LLP U.S. member firm of Grant Thornton International Ltd | Wheelz, Inc. Financial Statements 2012 | 10 |
Advertising costs
Costs for advertising are recorded as expense when the advertisement appears, electronic impressions are recorded or promotional events occur. Advertising expenses totaled $70,651 in 2012.
Concentrations of credit risk
The Company maintains all of its cash and investment balances at one financial institution. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institution.
Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and money market funds. Marketable securities consist of certificates of deposit as of December 31, 2012. Highly liquid investments with stated original maturities of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents.
Fair value measurements
Financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period are measured as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Fair value measurements are required to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Valuations based other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
As of December 31, 2012, financial instruments subject to fair value measurement include cash and cash equivalents in the mount of $8,214,428, which are valued using Level 1 inputs.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are from domestic customers. The Company conducts ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and does not maintain reserves for estimated potential credit losses due to immateriality and generally does not require collateral. Past due status of accounts receivables is based on contractual terms. There were no past due accounts receivables and the allowance for uncollectable accounts receivables is zero as of December 31, 2012. Customer accounts are written off when an account is determined to be uncollectible.
Grant Thornton LLP U.S. member firm of Grant Thornton International Ltd | Wheelz, Inc. Financial Statements 2012 | 11 |
Intangible assets
The Company considers its domain name Wheelz.com an intangible asset providing long-term benefits to the Company. The Company capitalized the cost and is amortizing the cost over five years using the straight line method.
Prepaid expenses
Prepaid expenses represent amounts paid in the current period for expenses that will be recognized (or incurred) in a future period. The Company has prepaid rent, insurance, employee benefits, and various operating expenses such as dues and subscriptions. These amounts will provide the entity with future economic benefits. The Company also captures the vehicle on-boarding costs as a prepaid expense which are amortized over the 24-month useful life of the vehicle.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated to their estimated residual value using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Estimated useful lives range from two to seven years. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the assets and related accumulated depreciation are relieved from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are included in operating income in the statement of operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Accrued sales and use tax
The Company is subject to state and local sales and use tax regulations for sales sourced in the United States. These regulations require the Company to assess, collect, file and remit sales and use taxes to individual states and local jurisdictions. The Company calculates the appropriate state and local sales and use tax of all revenue fee types with the exception of the penalty fee. The tax is collected and reported as a liability until it is paid on a calendar quarterly basis.
Stock-based compensation
The Company generally requires all share-based payments to employees and directors, including stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their estimated fair values measured at the date of grant over the employee’s requisite service period or the estimated period to completion of any applicable performance conditions on a straight-line basis.
In calculating stock-based compensation costs, the Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In addition to the fair value of the underlying stock, the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires estimates of forfeiture rates, risk-free interest rates, expected life and volatility assumptions.
The Company issues new shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options and upon vesting of restricted shares.
Grant Thornton LLP U.S. member firm of Grant Thornton International Ltd | Wheelz, Inc. Financial Statements 2012 | 12 |
Comprehensive income/loss
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Comprehensive loss was the same as the Company’s net loss for all periods presented.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year, and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets are based on provisions of the enacted tax law; the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that it believes is more likely than not to be realized.
The Company operates in various tax jurisdictions and is subject to audit by various tax authorities. Tax positions are based upon their technical merits, relevant tax law and the specific facts and circumstances as of each reporting period. Changes in facts and circumstances could result in material changes to the amounts recorded for such tax positions.
A tax position is only recognized in the financial statements if it is “more likely than not” to be sustained based solely on its technical merits as of the reporting date. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments that will result in recognition of additional tax benefits or additional charges to the tax provision and may not accurately reflect actual outcomes. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In June 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an amendment to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 220,Comprehensive Income, in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2012-05, where an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Under both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2012-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity but does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. ASU 2012-05 should be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2012-05 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
Grant Thornton LLP U.S. member firm of Grant Thornton International Ltd | Wheelz, Inc. Financial Statements 2012 | 13 |
In May 2012, FASB issued ASU 2012-04, which generally represents clarifications of Topic 820,Fair Value Measurement, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This ASU 2012-04 results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRSs. ASU 2012-04 should be applied prospectively and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU 2012-04 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

The Series AAA preferred shareholders hold dividend, liquidation and conversion preferences that are junior to the Series A preferred and senior to common stock. The Series AAA preferred stock has a dividend of $0.0006 per annum per share, a liquidation preference equal to $0.01 per share and a conversion price of $0.01 per share. The holders of the Series AAA preferred stock are entitled to receive noncumulative dividends when and if declared by the Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2012, the Board of Directors has not declared any dividends.
In February 2012, the Company completed the closing of its Series A financing. The Company issued 10,162,970 shares of Series A preferred stock for cash proceeds of $13,670,009, net of issuance costs of $50,000. The Series A preferred shareholders hold dividend, liquidation and conversion preferences that are senior to the Company’s Series AAA preferred shareholders and common stockholders. The Series A preferred stock has a dividend of $0.1081 per annum per share, a liquidation preference equal to $1.35 per share and a conversion price of $1.35 per share. The holders of the Series A preferred stock are entitled to receive noncumulative dividends when and if declared by the Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2012, the Board of Directors had not declared any dividends.
Conversion of subordinated convertible promissory notes into Series A preferred stock
In 2011, the Company issued $2,000,000 in subordinated convertible promissory notes to investors. The subordinated convertible promissory notes had a simple interest rate of six percent (6.00%) per annum maturing on the two-year anniversary date of the note issuance date. Upon the closing of a qualified financing occurring prior to repayment in full or conversion of the entire notes’ outstanding amount ($2,000,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest of $88,862), the outstanding amount was to be automatically converted into a number of shares issued in the qualified financing. A qualified financing for purposes of the subordinated convertible promissory notes is defined as a financing in which the Company raises an aggregate amount equal to or greater than $2,000,000 in proceeds.

In conjunction with the Series A preferred stock financing in February 2012, the automatic conversion feature in the subordinated convertible promissory notes was triggered resulting in the conversion of the notes. The outstanding amount of $2,088,862 ($2,000,000 principal plus $88,862 accrued and unpaid interest) was converted into 2,725,543 Series A preferred shares and $5.49 cash in lieu for fractional shares resulting from the conversion. The Series A preferred shares were issued to the note holders and the cash in lieu for fractional shares.
The conversion of the subordinated convertible promissory notes provided a beneficial conversion feature to the note holders. This beneficial conversion feature was contingent upon a future qualifying event. In accordance with the subordinated convertible promissory note, the number of Series A preferred shares to be issued was computed based on dividing the outstanding amount of $2,088,862 by the prescribed conversion price method that yielded the greater number of Series A shares between the two prescribed methods. The conversion price of $0.7446 was used to determine the 2,725,543 Series A preferred shares issued to the note holders. The “discounted” conversion price of $0.7446 resulted in an adjusted outstanding amount of $3,679,483. The difference between the value of shares at conversion price of $2,088,862 and the fair value of the shares at the time of conversion of $3,679,483 resulted in a charge to interest expense in 2012 of $1,590,626.
Voting rights
The holders of record of the shares of Series A preferred stock are entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such shares of preferred stock could be converted and shall have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the common stock. Preferred and common shareholders vote together as a single class.
Dividends
The Series A and AAA preferred shareholders are entitled to receive annual noncumulative cash dividends of $0.1081 and $0.0006 per share, respectively, on each outstanding share if and when declared by the Board of Directors. As described in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation dated February 9, 2012, no dividend may be paid on the Company’s common stock in any year until all dividends for such year have been declared and paid on all classes of preferred stock then issued and outstanding, and no dividends on common stock may be paid unless the amount of such dividend on common stock is also paid on the Series A and AAA preferred stock on an as-converted-to-common-stock basis.

Liquidation preferences
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or any deemed liquidation event, the assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed to stockholders such that the Series A and AAA preferred shareholders are entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the original issuance price of $1.35 per share and $0.01 per share, respectively, plus any declared but unpaid dividends. As described in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation dated February 9, 2012, the Series A preferred shareholders are entitled to a liquidation preference that is senior and prior in preference of the liquidation preferences of the Series AAA preferred shareholders. Thereafter, the remaining funds or assets legally available for distribution will be ratably distributed among the common shareholders.
Conversion
Each share of Series A and AAA convertible preferred stock is, at the option of the holder, convertible into common stock as is determined by dividing (i) the original issue price of such shares of preferred stock by (ii) the conversion price in effect for the applicable series of preferred stock at the time of conversion. The original issue prices per share for the Series A and Series AAA are $1.35 and $0.01, respectively. The conversion price per share for the preferred stock is subject to adjustment from time to time in the event one of the following events occurs: (i) subdivisions or combinations of common stock, (ii) stock dividends or other distributions, (iii) reorganizations, reclassifications, or similar events, and (iv) adjustments for diluting issues. Increases or decreases to the conversion price depend on the type of event that triggers the adjustment, as described in the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed February 9, 2012. Each share of preferred stock will automatically convert into shares of common stock at the then-effective conversion price for such share of preferred stock upon either the closing of an initial public offering in which gross proceeds exceed $50,000,000 or the vote or written consent of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Series A preferred stock.

2011 equity incentive plan
The Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the issuance of up to 6,700,473 options to purchase shares of the common stock of the Company. Under the terms of the Plan, the Board of Directors may grant incentive stock options (“ISOs”) and nonqualified stock options (“NSOs”) to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company. The ISOs may be granted at a price per share not less than the fair market value at the date of grant. The NSOs may be granted at a price per share not less than 85% of the fair market value at the date of grant. If at any time the Company grants an option and the optionee directly or by attribution owns stock comprising more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, the option price shall be at least 100% of the fair value at that date. Options and unvested shares of restricted stock awards generally vest and become exercisable over a period of two to four years, with a maximum term of 10 years. The Plan also allows the Company to award stock purchase rights to employees, officers, directors and consultants. The purchase may be in combination or entirely in the form of cash, a promissory note, or cancellation of indebtedness. Several officers of the Company had the right to early exercise their option awards either through a note receivable or cash. These early exercises are subject to the Company’s right of repurchase at the original purchase price. This repurchase right generally lapses at a rate of 1/4 of the shares on the 12-month anniversary of the officer’s vesting commencement date, and 1/48 of the original number of shares per month thereafter, as long as the officer remains an employee or a consultant.
As of December 31, 2012, there were 600,938 shares of restricted common outstanding that were subject to repurchase by the Company and 1,011,562 shares of restricted common that were released from restriction.
A summary of the activity for the year ended December 31, 2012 of stock options under the Plan is as follows:

The Company selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock option awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2011. For these awards, the Company recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the awards’ vesting period. Options typically vest with respect to 25% of the shares one year after the option’s vesting commencement date and the remainder ratably on a monthly basis over the following three years.
The fair value for options granted during the year ended December 31, 2012 was estimated at the date of the grant using the following assumptions:
Expected life in years | 6 years | |||
Risk-free interest rate | 0.800% - 1.165 | % | ||
Volatility | 66% – 68 | % | ||
Dividend yield | — | |||
Forfeiture rate | — |
The expected term represents the period that stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior as influenced by changes to the terms of the Company’s stock-based awards. The computation of expected volatility for the year ended December 31, 2012 was based on the historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative peer group selected based on industry and market capitalization data.
The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2012 was $0.23 per share. As of December 31, 2012, total compensation cost related to stock options granted, but not yet recognized, was $381,579, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 3.54 years. Stock-based compensation expense of $51,566 is recorded in general and administrative expenses.
