Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unadudited)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
World Moto, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 24, 2008 under the name Net Profits Ten Inc. The original purpose of the Company was to market and distribute user-friendly interactive yearbook software for the military. The Company was reclassified as a shell company until the completion of its acquisition of the World Moto Assets, which was consummated on November 14, 2012, and discussed in Note 3. Effective November 12, 2012, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from “Net Profits Ten Inc.” to “World Moto, Inc.”
On January 30, 2013, World Moto, Inc. established two wholly owned subsidiaries that were incorporated in the State of Nevada. World Moto Technologies, Inc. and World Moto Holdings, Inc. were both established, but have no activity to report to date. On February 4, 2013, World Moto Technologies Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Thailand and the name of this company was later changed to World Moto Co., Ltd. World Moto Co., Ltd. is owned in its entirety by World Moto, Inc., World Moto Technologies, Inc. and World Moto Holdings, Inc. and it is an operating entity of the Company in Thailand for the purposes of research and development in the Southeast Asia region.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Regulation S-X rule 8-03 and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's last Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2015 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the interim consolidated financial statements related to the period are unaudited. The results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarters or for the entire year ending December 31, 2015. Notes to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.
Principal of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of World Moto Technologies, Inc., World Moto Holdings, Inc., and World Moto Co. Ltd, all 100% owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of our subsidiary is the Thai Baht. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the respective periods.
For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the subsidiary are translated into the Company’s reporting currency, United States Dollars (“USD”). Asset and liability accounts are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, equity account and dividend are translated using historical exchange rates and income and expense accounts are translated using the average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period.
Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholder’s equity (deficit).
Long-Lived Assets
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method of 3 years for financial statement purposes.
Software
The Company capitalizes software acquisition and development costs incurred during the software application development stage. The software application development stage is characterized by software design and configuration activities, coding, testing and installation. Training and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred, while upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if it is probable that such expenditures will result in additional functionality. Capitalized software acquisition and development costs, once placed in service, are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 3 to 10 years. Capitalized software acquisition and development costs subject to amortization are carried at cost less accumulated amortization.
Patents
Patents are initially measured based on their fair values. Patents are being amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 10 to 20 years.
Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company’s property and equipment including patent development costs when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists. The Company considers certain events and circumstances in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable property and equipment may not be recoverable including, but not limited to: significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; and changes in the business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets. If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets' carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and income tax carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company reviews deferred tax assets for a valuation allowance based upon whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be fully realized. A valuation allowance, if necessary, is provided against deferred tax assets, based upon management’s assessment as to their realization.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company values its derivative instruments under FASB ASC 820 which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.
Level 2 - Valuations for assets and liabilities that can be obtained from readily available pricing sources via independent providers for market transactions involving similar assets or liabilities. The Company’s principal markets for these securities are the secondary institutional markets, and valuations are based on observable market data in those markets.
Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. The Company uses Level 3 to value its derivative instruments.
The following table sets forth by level with the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on March 31, 2015.
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |||||||||
Liabilities | ||||||||||||
Derivative liability | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 1,675,155 | $ | 1,675,155 |
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue only when all of the following criteria have been met:
• | Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; |
• | Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; |
• | The fee for the arrangement is fixed or determinable; and |
• | Collectibility is reasonably assured. |
Persuasive Evidence of an Arrangement – The Company documents all terms of an arrangement in a written contract signed by the customer prior to recognizing revenue.
Delivery Has Occurred or Services Have Been Performed – The Company performs all services or delivers all products prior to recognizing revenue. Monthly services are considered to be performed ratably over the term of the arrangement. Professional consulting services are considered to be performed when the services are complete. Equipment is considered delivered upon delivery to a customer’s designated location.
The Fee for the Arrangement Is Fixed or Determinable – Prior to recognizing revenue, a customer’s fee is either fixed or determinable under the terms of the written contract. Fees for most monthly services, professional consulting services, and equipment sales and rentals are fixed under the terms of the written contract. Fees for certain monthly services, including certain portions of networking, storage, and content distribution and caching services, are variable based on an objectively determinable factor such as usage. Those factors are included in the written contract such that the customer’s fee is determinable. The customer’s fee is negotiated at the outset of the arrangement and is not subject to refund or adjustment during the initial term of the arrangement.
Collectibility Is Reasonably Assured – The Company determines that collectibility is reasonably assured prior to recognizing revenue. Collectibility is assessed on a customer by customer basis based on criteria outlined by management. New customers are subject to a credit review process, which evaluates the customer’s financial position and ultimately its ability to pay. The Company does not enter into arrangements unless collectibility is reasonably assured at the outset. Existing customers are subject to ongoing credit evaluations based on payment history and other factors. If it is determined during the arrangement that collectibility is not reasonably assured, revenue is recognized on a cash basis.
Franchise Fee Revenue
Revenues from licensees include a royalty based on a percent of sales, and may include initial fees. Continuing royalties are recognized in the period earned. Initial fees are recognized upon granting of a new franchise term, which is when the Company has performed substantially all initial services required by the franchise arrangement and after the franchisee commences operations. Additionally, the first twelve months of operations are royalty free for the franchisee.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company expenses the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of such instruments over the service period.
Equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services are recorded at either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more reliably measurable.
Subsequent Event
The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date when financial statements are issued for disclosure consideration.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $4,243,761 as of March 31, 2015, has limited liquidity, and has not established a reliable source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses. The Company intends to position itself so that it may be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of management’s efforts, there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 – UNEARNED REVENUES
On December 2, 2013, WM Co. Thailand entered into a Purchase and Licensing Agreement (the "PL Agreement") with Mobile Advertising Ventures Ltd. ("MAV"). Pursuant to the terms of the PL Agreement, MAV will purchase 10 initial "Wheelies" from WM Co. Thailand at a total purchase price of $35,000, and will have an option to purchase an additional 190 Wheelies at a purchase price of $3,500 per unit. WM Co. Thailand also grants a non-exclusive license to MAV for the use of its software in connection with the operation of the Wheelies in consideration for a fee based on net revenue per quarter from advertising sales relating to the use of the Wheelies. The Company received $35,000 from MAV before December 31, 2013 and has been recorded unearned as revenues.
On March 10, 2014, the Company entered into a Fleet Franchise Agreement ("the Franchise Agreement") with Mobile Advertising Ventures, Ltd. ("MAV"). MAV paid the Company $24,415 for the right to utilize the Yes software and all other trademarks of the Company, including but not limited to "Yes", "World Moto" and "Wheelies" (collectively, the "Marks") in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Initial training has been completed for the Franchisee; however, the Franchisee has not begun operations. This revenue will be reclassified as earned when MAV completes its first sale using the Yes software.
NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has short-term debt of $46,190 and $46,707, respectively, due to one of its majority shareholders. The loan will be paid back from proceeds of the debenture financing that is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2015. The loan is accruing interest at a rate of 0%.
NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
On March 5, 2015, the Company entered into a convertible note with Redwood Management for an aggregate principal amount of $60,870 with a $4,348 original issue discount ("OID") and $12,000 in deferred financing costs for broker fees.
The note earns an interest rate equal to 12% per annum and matures on March 5, 2016. The Company is obligated to make amortization payments beginning on the six month anniversary of the issuance date of the Debentures and continuing monthly thereafter. Pursuant to this note, the Company recorded a debt discount of $56,522, as result of the embedded conversion feature being a financial derivative. The Company also recorded a debt discount of $4,348 as result of the 8% original issue discount. The Company determined that the fair value of the conversion feature was $110,096 at the issuance date. The fair value of the conversion feature in excess of the principal amount allocated to the notes of $53,574 was expensed immediately as additional interest expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded $4,324 amortization of the debt discount on the note.
On March 26, 2015, the Company entered into a convertible note with Macallan Partners for an aggregate principal amount of $112,000 with a $12,000 OID and $7,500 in deferred financing costs for broker fees.
The note earns an interest rate equal to 8% per annum and matures on March 31, 2016. Pursuant to this note, the Company recorded a debt discount of $100,000, as result of the embedded conversion feature being a financial derivative. The Company also recorded a debt discount of $12,000 as result of the 11% original issue discount. The Company determined that the fair value of the conversion feature was $207,690 at the issuance date. The fair value of the conversion feature in excess of the principal amount allocated to the notes of $107,690 was expensed immediately as additional interest expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded $1,509 amortization of the debt discount on the notes.
As summary of value changes to the notes for the three months ended March 31, 2015 is as follows:
Carrying value of Convertible Notes at December 31, 2014 | $ | 274,123 | |
Additional borrowings | 172,870 | ||
Total principal | 446,993 | ||
Less: conversion carrying value of convertible notes | (234,355 | ) | |
Less: discount related to fair value of the embedded conversion feature | (152,870 | ) | |
Less: discount related to original issue discount | (20,000 | ) | |
Add: amortization of discount | 127,528 | ||
Carrying value of Convertible Notes at March 31, 2015 | $ | 167,296 |
The deferred financing costs are amortized by the Company through interest expense over the life of the notes. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded $32,484 amortization of the deferred financing costs.
NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
The Company has determined that the variable conversion prices under its convertible notes caused the embedded conversation feature to be a financial derivative. The Company may not have enough authorized common stock to settle its obligation if the note holder elects to convert the note into common shares when the trading price is lower than a certain threshold.
The derivative instruments were valued at loan origination date, date of debt conversion and at March 31, 2015, The fair values of the derivative liabilities related to the conversion options of these notes was estimated on the transaction dates (loan original date and date of debt conversion) using the Multinomial Lattice option pricing model, under the following assumptions:
December 31, | New | March 31, | |||||||
2014 | Issuances | 2015 | |||||||
Shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of debt | 23,193,987 | 13,615,794 | 34,984,114 | ||||||
Estimated market value of common stock on measurement date | $ | 0.17 | $ | 0.02-0.0261 | $ | 0.0196 | |||
Exercise price | $ | 0.00766 - 0.1 | $ | 0.009 - 0.03 | $ | 0.009 - 0.1 | |||
Risk free interest rate (1) | 0.04% - 0.25% | 0.25% | 0.05% - 0.25% | ||||||
Expected dividend yield (2) | 0.00% | 0.00% | 0.00% | ||||||
Expected volatility (3) | 61.54% - 105% | 119.11% - 125.57% | 53.91% - 126.85% | ||||||
Expected exercise term in years (4) | 0.25 - 1.00 | 0.75 | 0.08 - 1.00 |
(1) | The risk –free interest rate was determined by management using the one month Treasury bill yield as of the valuation dates. | |
(2) | The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments. | |
(3) | The volatility was determined by referring to the average historical volatility of a peer group of public companies because we do not have sufficient trade history to determine our historical volatility. | |
(4) | The exercise term is the remaining contractual term of the convertible instrument at the valuation date. |
The change in fair values of the derivative liabilities related to the Convertible Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2015 is summarized as:
Fair value of derivatives December 31, 2014 | $ | 1,256,159 | |
New issuances | 317,786 | ||
Conversion of derivative liabilities | (251,597 | ) | |
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities | 352,807 | ||
Fair value of derivative liabilities at March 31, 2015 | $ | 1,675,155 |
NOTE 7 – EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company issued 40,591,051 shares of common stock for the conversion of notes payable and accrued interests in the amount of $234,355. The Company also recorded $251,597 as increase in additional paid-in capital from derivative liability as a result of the conversions.
NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Overview
World Moto, Inc. was incorporated on March 24, 2008, in the State of Nevada under the name Net Profits Ten Inc. On November 8, 2012, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to increase our authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 and our board of directors approved a stock dividend of 180 shares of common stock of the Company for each share of common stock issued and outstanding. Additionally, on November 12, 2012, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from “Net Profits Ten Inc.” to “World Moto, Inc.”, which name change became effective on November 15, 2012, upon approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). On January 18, 2014, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to increase our authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 to 1,000,000,000. On April 9, 2015, we further amended our Articles of Incorporation to increase our authorized shares of common stock from 1,000,000,000 to 2,000,000,000.
On September 1, 2012, we entered in an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with World Moto (Thailand) Co., Ltd., a corporation established under the laws of the Kingdom of Thailand (“Old WM”), Chris Ziomkowski, the Chief Technical Officer of Old WM and Paul Giles, the Chief Executive Officer of Old WM. The Agreement was consummated on November 14, 2012. We purchased from Old WM substantially all of the intellectual property and certain other specific intellectual property assets related to Old WM’s initial product, the Moto-Meter (the “Assets”), which includes three United States patent applications, the data related to the patent applications, certain software related to the operation of the Moto-Meter, several URLs and trade-names and associated names related to the Moto-Meter and Old WM.
On January 30, 2013, we established two wholly owned subsidiaries that were incorporated in the State of Nevada. World Moto Technologies, Inc. and World Moto Holdings, Inc. were both established, but have no activity to report to date. On February 4, 2013, World Moto Technologies Ltd. was organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Thailand. The name was later changed to World Moto Co., Ltd. (“WM Co. Thailand”). WM Co. Thailand is owned in its entirety by World Moto, Inc., World Moto Technologies, Inc. and World Moto Holdings, Inc. and represents our operating entity for the purposes of research and development in the Southeast Asia region.
As of March 31, 2015, WM Co. Thailand had 12 employees. WM Co. Thailand has been performing extensive research and development activities since its inception related to improving the Moto-Meter design to allow for higher yields in mass production, as well as substantial work on the Wheelies product.
Business Overview
Plan of Operations
We plan to establish ourselves as a company that designs, manufactures, markets and sells the Moto-Meter products, which are devices that provide moto-taxi fare metering and other communication capabilities. We currently have patent applications pending for our products in 56 countries. To achieve our objective, we have established our operational subsidiary in Thailand for product development and a presence in two additional potential markets, Brazil and Nigeria, and begun expanding our work force to be able to implement our business plan.
The Moto-Meter is in the verification build stage and the pre-production phase has been completed in Thailand. We anticipate expanding to Indonesia, and Vietnam during the second quarter of 2015 and in Brazil within the next 12 months. We will be outsourcing mass production for the Moto-Meter to a third party manufacturer in the coming weeks.
In conjunction with the opening of sales for the Moto Meter, we launched the App, which is a smartphone application. The App connects directly to the Moto-Meter™ via a secure Bluetooth connection, and can access data from the meter in real-time, giving users the ability to view ratings and a profile of the driver before getting on the bike.
As an element of mobile commerce, we have introduced “Yes,” a concierge service where persons can order products and have the products delivered to their address by motor scooter. The Yes service has been going through testing and was launched on March 9, 2015 in Bangkok, Thailand. We expect Yes to go live in in the third quarter of 2015 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We also intend to launch Yes™ over the next 12 months in Cambodia.
We have procured our first customer for Wheelies in Thailand. We are focused on the development of Wheelies as a unique advertising product, which displays static and streaming media on the wheels of motorcycles and automobiles, providing a new mobile medium for advertising, broadcasting, self-expression and publishing. We have successfully completed a pre-production version of Wheelies and have successfully completed testing. We are currently in negotiations for an exclusive advertising arrangement on the Wheelies product.
In Thailand, we entered into a distribution agreement with Lucky Distributors, Ltd. (“Lucky”). Under the terms of this distribution agreement, Lucky has the non-exclusive right to distribute, sell and service the Moto-Meter and Moto-Meter accessories throughout Thailand and the surrounding border markets. Lucky is a national distribution company based in Thailand. It is also a preferred supplier for the Motorcycle Taxi Association of Thailand. We believe Lucky’s reputation and relationship with the moto taxi community will help promote Moto-Meter in Thailand.
On October 30, 2013, we announced the signing of multiple letters of intent for the distribution of our flagship product, the Moto-Meter. To date, we signed letters of intent with qualified distributors in 7 countries. The distributors were selected for their ability to both sell and support our products as well as to protect our brand image in strategic markets. We are continuing discussions with dozens of further prominent distributors out of the hundreds of retail agents and operators that have contacted us expressing interest in the Moto-Meter and associated products. The letters of intent include authorizations to sell and support our flagship product, the Moto-Meter, as well as establishing priority for Wheelies and our other future products and services.
On December 2, 2013, World Moto Co. Thailand entered into a Purchase and Licensing Agreement (the “PL Agreement”) with Mobile Advertising Ventures Ltd. (“MAV”). Pursuant to the terms of the PL Agreement, MAV will purchase 10 initial “Wheelies” from World Moto Co. Thailand at a purchase price of $35,000, and will have an option to purchase an additional 190 Wheelies at a purchase price of $3,500 per unit. World Moto Co. Thailand also grants a non-exclusive license to MAV for the use of its software in connection with the operation of the Wheelies in consideration for a fee based on net revenue per quarter from advertising sales relating to the use of the Wheelies. This sale will be completed during 2015.
We entered into discussions to mandate the use of Moto-Meters on all moto taxis within the city of Montes Claros, Brazil. Montes Claros is considered the "motorcycle taxi capital" of northern Brazil and an ideal city to launch the Moto-Meter in Brazil. We anticipate that a regulatory mandate here will act as a springboard into the potentially larger markets of Brazil's other highly populated cities.
In Africa, we established an office in Lagos, Nigeria. Previously, the officials in Nigeria have expressed strong interest in the Moto-Meter, and feedback from our initial discussions has been positive. Establishing a physical presence in the city is now essential for us as we enter the process of formalizing these discussions into a clear plan to introduce the Moto-Meter into Lagos and cities across Africa. On November 4, 2013, we were awarded a patent on the Moto-Meter technology until 2033 in Nigeria, a country with more than 3 million motorcycle taxis.
We have assembled an optimal number of employees, including experienced engineers in our research and development division at the Thailand Science Park. The development focus is simultaneously devoted to our advertising product, Wheelies, as well as our flagship product, the Moto-Meter.
In parallel with this, we have completed the work to adapt the Moto-Meter electronics so that it can pass all current and anticipated regulatory requirements of INMETRO, the National Institute of Metrology for Brazil, as well as other international regulatory agencies.
Additional work is currently being undertaken to improve the weatherization technology used in the Moto-Meter to enhance its ability to withstand environmental stresses, as well as work to provide a more generic Moto-Meter installation kit and wiring harness that will allow its installation into a wider variety of vehicles, such as auto rickshaws.
We plan to use outside consultants and service companies from time to time for various tasks in the sales, development and manufacturing of our products and product launch and distribution, under provider contracts, to the extent that we are not able to perform the required functions. Using such outside vendors may make a particular task more expensive, but we believe that using such experts should improve the outcome or speed up the timing of product development and time to market. There is no assurance that we will be able to control the costs and deliveries of such activities in the same manner as if we were performing the tasks ourselves, and therefore we are subject to the usual risks of using outside providers.
Estimated Expenses
The following provides an overview of our estimated expenses to fund our plan of operations for each of our products over the next 12 months. Funding will be with our current cash assets and may include future capital that we may have to raise.

In order to execute on our plan of operations over the next 12 months, we will need to raise additional of working capital through debt or equity offerings. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise the required working capital on terms favorable, or that such working capital will be available on any terms when needed. Any failure to secure additional financing may force us to modify or delay our business plan.
Results of Operations
Comparison of three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014
Revenue
We have generated no revenues for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
Expenses
General and administration expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, amounted to $99,249, compared to $139,011 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2014. The Company incurred less operating expense during 2015.
R&D expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, amounted to $102,825, compared to $121,106 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2014. The Company’s R&D department in Thailand had less expenses incurred during 2015.
Other expense for the three-months period ended March 31, 2015 amounted to $675,907, compared to $134 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2014. The increase is primarily due to the increase in interest expense and loss on the fair value of the derivatives.
Net Loss
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, we incurred a net loss of $877,981, compared to a net loss of $260,251 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014. The increase is primarily due to the increase in interest expense and loss on the fair value of the derivatives.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2015, we have $153,463 in current assets and $2,184,830 in current liabilities. Our total assets were $203,029 and our total liabilities were $2,184,830. We had $113,323 in cash and our working capital deficit was $2,031,367.

On March 5, 2015, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an institutional investor pursuant to which we issued a convertible debenture in the principal and interest amount of $60,870 for a purchase price of $50,000 (8% original issue discount). Upon the effectiveness of a registration statement to be filed by the Company in connection therewith, such investor will purchase an additional convertible debenture in the principal amount of $489,130 for a purchase price of $450,000 (8% original issue discount), for a total aggregate principal amount of $543,478 for a purchase price of $500,000.
On March 26, 2015, the Company completed an offering by entering into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Macallan Partners for an aggregate principal and interest amount of 112,000 (the “Purchase Price”) with a $12,000 OID and $7,500 in Deferred Financing Costs-Broker Fees in the form of a convertible note.
Given our cash position of $31,220 as of May 19, 2015, and the proceeds from the equity financings, management believes that our cash on hand and working capital are sufficient to meet our current anticipated cash requirements through May 31, 2015.
We have incurred an accumulated loss of $4,343,761 since inception. Our independent auditors have issued an audit opinion for our financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern due to our limited liquidity and our lack of revenues.
Our current cash requirements are significant due to planned development and marketing of our current products, and we anticipate generating losses. We planned to obtain $556,000 which will allow us to execute on our business strategy over the next 12 months, commensurate with the goals for our planned marketing, development and distribution efforts – we are actually targeting an additional $1,000,000 over the next 12 months in additional working capital in order to increase our growth plans on an expedited basis.
Our management believes that we should be able to raise sufficient amounts of working capital through debt or equity offerings, as may be required to meet our short-term obligations. However, the incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Additionally, our ability to raise additional capital may be limited due to the grant of a security interest on all of the assets of the Company to secure the obligations under the convertible debentures issued on April 4, 2014 and the convertible debenture issued on March 5, 2015. Changes in our operating plans, increased expenses, acquisitions, or other events, may cause us to seek additional equity or debt financing in the future. We anticipate continued and additional marketing, development and distribution expenses. Accordingly, we expect to continue to use debt and equity financing to fund operations for the next twelve months, as we look to expand our asset base and fund marketing, development and distribution of our products.
There are no assurances that we will be able to raise the required working capital on terms favorable, or that such working capital will be available on any terms when needed. Any failure to secure additional financing may force us to modify our business plan. In addition, we cannot be assured of profitability in the future.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (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 year. The more significant areas requiring the use of estimates include asset impairment, stock-based compensation, and future income tax amounts. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.
We believe the following is among the most critical accounting policies that impact or consolidated financial statement. We suggest that our significant accounting policies, as described in our financial statements in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, be read in conjunction with this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of our subsidiary is the Thai Baht. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the respective periods.
For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the subsidiary are translated into the Company’s reporting currency, United States Dollars (“USD”). Asset and liability accounts are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, equity account and dividend are translated using historical exchange rates and income and expense accounts are translated using the average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period.
Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholder’s equity (deficit).
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue only when all of the following criteria have been met:
• | Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; |
• | Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; |
• | The fee for the arrangement is fixed or determinable; and |
• | Collectibility is reasonably assured. |
Persuasive Evidence of an Arrangement - The Company documents all terms of an arrangement in a written contract signed by the customer prior to recognizing revenue.
Delivery Has Occurred or Services Have Been Performed - The Company performs all services or delivers all products prior to recognizing revenue. Monthly services are considered to be performed ratably over the term of the arrangement. Professional consulting services are considered to be performed when the services are complete. Equipment is considered delivered upon delivery to a customer’s designated location.
The Fee for the Arrangement Is Fixed or Determinable - Prior to recognizing revenue, a customer’s fee is either fixed or determinable under the terms of the written contract. Fees for most monthly services, professional consulting services, and equipment sales and rentals are fixed under the terms of the written contract. Fees for certain monthly services, including certain portions of networking, storage, and content distribution and caching services, are variable based on an objectively determinable factor such as usage. Those factors are included in the written contract such that the customer’s fee is determinable. The customer’s fee is negotiated at the outset of the arrangement and is not subject to refund or adjustment during the initial term of the arrangement.
Collectibility Is Reasonably Assured - The Company determines that collectibility is reasonably assured prior to recognizing revenue. Collectibility is assessed on a customer by customer basis based on criteria outlined by management. New customers are subject to a credit review process, which evaluates the customer’s financial position and ultimately its ability to pay. The Company does not enter into arrangements unless collectibility is reasonably assured at the outset. Existing customers are subject to ongoing credit evaluations based on payment history and other factors. If it is determined during the arrangement that collectibility is not reasonably assured, revenue is recognized on a cash basis.
Franchise Fee Revenue
Revenues from licensees include a royalty based on a percent of sales, and may include initial fees. Continuing royalties are recognized in the period earned. Initial fees are recognized upon granting of a new franchise term, which is when the Company has performed substantially all initial services required by the franchise arrangement. Additionally, the first twelve months of operations are royalty free for the franchisee.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of the quarterly period ended March 31, 2015, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the quarterly period ended March 31, 2015 in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) rules and forms. This conclusion is based on findings that constituted material weaknesses. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In performing the above-referenced assessment, our management identified the following material weaknesses:
i) | We have insufficient quantity of dedicated resources and experienced personnel involved in reviewing and designing internal controls. As a result, a material misstatement of the interim and annual financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. |
ii) | We do not have an audit committee. While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management’s view that to have an audit committee, comprised of independent board members, is an important entity-level control over our financial statements. | |
iii) | We did not perform an entity level risk assessment to evaluate the implication of relevant risks on financial reporting, including the impact of potential fraud-related risks and the risks related to non-routine transactions, if any, on our internal control over financial reporting. Lack of an entity-level risk assessment constituted an internal control design deficiency which resulted in more than a remote likelihood that a material error would not have been prevented or detected, and constituted a material weakness. |
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and a functioning Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or board override of the control.
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE
$112,000.00 | March 26, 2015 |
THIS DEBENTURE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AS TO THIS DEBENTURE OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, World Moto, Inc, a Nevada corporation (the "Company" or the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to Macallan Partners, LLC (the "Lender"), or its registered assigns, the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED TWELVE THOUSAND dollars ($112,000.00) subject to an approximate Original Issue Discount of 10.71% for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000.00, together with interest (computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months) on the unpaid principal balance of this Debenture from the date of this Debenture until paid, at the rate of Ten percent (10%) per annum.
1. PAYMENT.
(a) Payments of the principal of and interest on this Debenture shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America at the current address of the registered holder of this Debenture as recorded in the Company’s books. Payments shall be made by mandatory conversion, unless this Debenture is prepaid at the Company’s option in accordance with Section 1(c) or unless there is a default in accordance with Section 5(b).
(b) Interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance of this Debenture during the term of this Debenture shall be paid at the Maturity Date, which shall beSeptember 30, 2015. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as such term is defined hereinafter) and acceleration of the indebtedness hereunder, or after the Maturity Date (including without limitation any time from and after the entry of a judgment for sums due), any unpaid principal of this Debenture shall bear interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum until paid. There shall be a 10 day grace period for payments to be made hereunder (but interest shall be computed to the actual date of payment).
(c) The outstanding principal balance of this Debenture, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, may be prepaid, at the Company's option at any time prior to the Maturity Date, provided that the Company shall give written notice of any such prepayment to the registered holder of this Debenture no later than ten (10) business days prior to the date the Company intends to make a prepayment (the “Prepayment Date”). Such amount must be paid in cash on or before the next business day following the expiration of the 10 business day notice period. Notwithstanding the Company’s notification of prepayment, the Lender may still convert any remaining balance of this Debenture pursuant to its terms until full prepayment has occurred. Upon the Prepayment Date the Company shall pay a prepayment penalty on the outstanding principal balance plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any applicable fees and expenses (the “Prepayment Penalty”). Upon the Prepayment Date the Company shall pay a prepayment penalty based upon the following schedule: If prepayment is made within 60 days from the date of this Debenture then 125% of the outstanding principal balance plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon will be due, if prepayment is made between 61-120 days from the date of this Debenture then 135% of the outstanding principal balance plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon will be due, if prepayment is made between 121 days from the date of this Debenture and the maturity date then 150% of the outstanding principal balance plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon will be due (the “Prepayment”).

2. REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER.
(a) The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices a register for this Debenture, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name this Debenture has been issued and the name and address of each transferee and prior owner thereof. The Company may deem and treat the person in whose name this Debenture is so registered as the holder and owner thereof for all purposes and all notices hereunder to the registered holder may be to the address indicated on such register.
(b) This Debenture may be transferred only by the surrendering thereof for registration of transfer duly endorsed, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed, by the registered holder. The Company may condition its registration of such transfer upon (a) the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company that the transfer of this Debenture does not violate the Act or any state securities or blue sky laws, and (b) the payment to it of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or other governmental charge imposed in respect of such transfer.
3. COMMON STOCK CONVERSION RIGHTS AND SHARE RESERVATION RIGHTS.
(a) The Lender has the right, at any time after the date of this debenture, at its election, to convert all or part of the outstanding and unpaid principal sum and accrued interest (and any other fees) on this Debenture, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company as per the following conversion formula: Number of shares receivable upon conversion equals the dollar conversion amount divided by the Conversion Price.The Conversion Price is equal to: 60% of the lowest traded price during the 20 trading days prior to the election to convert.If the Company’s common stock price closes below 0.002 at any time while this Debenture is outstanding then an additional 15% discount will apply to the conversion price. However, if the Company’s common stock price at any time loses “the bid” (ex: .0001 on “the ask” with zero market makers on the bid as per level 2 quotations), then the conversion price may, in the Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, be reduced to a fixed price of .00001. Notice of Lender’s conversion may be delivered to Borrower by method of Lender’s choice (including but not limited to email, facsimile, mail, overnight courier, or personal delivery), and all conversions shall be cashless and not require further payment from the Lender. If no objection is delivered from Borrower to Lender regarding calculations in the conversion notice within 24 hours of delivery of the conversion notice, the Company shall have been thereafter deemed to have irrevocably confirmed and irrevocably ratified such conversion notice and waived any objection thereto. The Company shall deliver the shares from any conversion to Lender (in any name directed by Lender) within 2 (two) business days of conversion notice delivery. At no time will the lender convert any amount of the Debenture into common stock that would result in the lender owning more than 4.99% of the company’s common stock outstanding.
2
(b) The obligations of the Borrower under this Debenture shall be secured by shares of the common stock of the Company, assigned to a reserve to be administered by the Company’s Transfer Agent, for the benefit of the Lender. The Borrower shall irrevocably place85,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on reserve with the Company’s Transfer Agent to ensure that there are sufficient shares available for the conversion of this Debenture. So long as any portion of the Debenture(s) is outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Debenture(s), a number of shares of Common Stock equal to, at minimum, 4 times (4x) the value of the outstanding principal and interest of the Debenture(s) as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Debenture(s) then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversions) (the “Required Reserve Amount”).
(c) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 3(b), and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Debenture(s) remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Debenture(s) at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Debenture(s) then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal.
(d) In the event that the outstanding shares of the common stock subject to the conversion are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of the Company or other securities of the Company by reason of merger, consolidation, re-capitalization, re-classification, stock split, stock dividend or combination of shares, the Company shall make an appropriate and equitable adjustment in the number and kind of shares as to which the conversion shall be applicable, to the end that after such event the Lender’s proportionate interest is preserved after the occurrence of such event.
3
(e) If Borrower fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated this Section; the Lender, at any time prior to selling all of those shares, may rescind any portion, in whole or in part, of that particular conversion attributable to the unsold shares and have the rescinded conversion amount returned to the Principal Sum with the rescinded conversion shares returned to the Company (under Lender’s and Borrower’s expectations that any returned conversion amounts will tack back to the original date of this Debenture). In addition, for each conversion, in the event that shares are not delivered by the fourth business day (inclusive of the day of conversion), a penalty of $2,000 per day will be assessed for each day after the third business day (inclusive of the day of the conversion) until share delivery is made; and such penalty will be added to the Principal Sum of this Debenture (under Lender’s and Borrower’s expectations that any penalty amounts will tack back to the original date of this Debenture).
4. ADJUSTMENT FOR CAPITAL CHANGES; MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION; NON-DILUTION PROVISIONS.
(a) If the Company declares or pays a dividend on its common stock payable in common stock, or other securities, subdivides the outstanding common stock into a greater amount of common stock, or engages in any reclassification, exchange or substitution transaction (an “Event”), then the conversion price shall be automatically adjusted to provide the Lender with the same percentage ownership in the Stock of the Company that it would have had if the conversion had been accomplished immediately prior to the Event.
(b) If any merger or consolidation of the Company or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets shall occur, then, as a condition to such merger, consolidation or sale, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the registered holder of this Debenture shall thereafter have the right to receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein (including, without limitation, payment of the applicable Conversion Price) and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore receivable upon conversion of this Debenture, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for such shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore receivable by such holder had such merger or consolidation not taken place. The Company shall not affect any such consolidation or merger, unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, the successor (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger shall assume, by written instrument executed and delivered to the holder, the obligation to deliver to the holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder may be entitled to receive.
(c) The Company will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock, for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture as herein provided, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the exercise of the conversion privileges set forth herein. The Company covenants that all shares which shall be so issuable shall, upon the conversion of this Debenture as herein provided, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable by the Company.
