Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America. The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. While management of the Company believes that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2022, contained in the Company’s Form 10K, as filed on January 13, 2023.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DriveItAway Holdings Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary DriveItAway, Inc., collectively referred to as the “Company”. All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates and assumptions made by management include allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for deferred tax assets, fair value of equity instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates as the current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original maturities of six months or less when acquired, to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2023, and September 30, 2022, the Company had cash of $41,911 and $127,109, which included restricted cash of $26,992 and $0, respectively and did not have any cash equivalents.

 

Restricted Cash

 

As of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company had $26,992 and $0 in restricted cash that is held by AJB Capital LLC, for funds advanced by them, but are to be used for future payment for professional fees.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company reviews accounts receivable periodically for collectability and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts and records bad debt expense when deemed necessary. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts that is based on historical trends, customer knowledge, any known disputes, and considers the aging of the accounts receivable balances combined with management’s estimate of future potential recoverability. Accounts and receivables are written off against the allowance after all attempts to collect a receivable have failed. The Company believes its allowances for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022 are adequate, but actual write-offs could exceed the recorded allowance. As of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022 the balances in the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.

 

Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1

 

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2

 

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

 

Level 3

 

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The carrying amounts shown of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expense, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

Vehicles

 

Vehicles are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of seven (7) years. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major improvements, which extend the useful life of the related asset, are capitalized. Upon disposal of a vehicle, we record a gain or loss based on the difference between the proceeds received and the net book value of the disposed vehicle. We remove fully depreciated vehicles from the cost and accumulated depreciation amounts disclosed.

 

Website and Software Development Costs

 

The costs incurred in the preliminary stages of website and software development are expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental and deemed by management to be significant, are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Maintenance and enhancement costs, including those costs in the post-implementation stages, are typically expensed as incurred, unless such costs relate to substantial upgrades and enhancements to the website or software that result in added functionality, in which case the costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. Amortization expense related to capitalized website and software development costs is included in operating expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

 

Capitalized development activities placed in service are amortized over the expected useful lives of those releases, currently estimated at three (3) years. The estimated useful lives of website and software development activities are reviewed frequently and adjusted as appropriate to reflect upcoming development activities that may include significant upgrades and/or enhancements to the existing functionality. We remove fully amortized website and software development costs from the cost and accumulated amortization amounts disclosed.

 

Construction-in-progress primarily consists of website development costs that are capitalizable, but for which the associated applications have not been placed in service.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of an embedded conversion option that is convertible into a variable amount of shares and warrants that include price protection reset provision features are deemed to be “down-round protection” and, therefore, do not meet the scope exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, since “down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the conversion option and warrants and cannot be considered “indexed to the Company’s own stock” which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815.

 

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record embedded conversion options and warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

 

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was used to estimate the fair value of the embedded conversion options and warrants. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time, of our common stock, equal to the weighted average life of the options.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenue is recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for all periods presented. The Company, through its DriveItAway online/app-based platform, operates in the retail automotive industry. The Company assists subprime and deep subprime candidates, with little or no down payment, in purchasing the used vehicle of his/her choice by first starting in an app based, turnkey rental, through participating franchise and independent car dealers. The Company derived its rental revenue from contract revenue share for rentals between participating franchise and independent car dealers and individual car rental customers (“customers”). In conjunction with the rental revenue, the Company generates revenue by providing driver and vehicle insurance through a third party, included in the rental contract with each customer.

 

The Company’s performance obligation for rental revenue is to provide an application to track car rental arrangements and to collect cash from car rental customers and remit those payments to participating franchise and independent car dealers, net of the Company’s revenue share. The car rental arrangements are over a fixed contracted period; therefore, the Company recognizes revenue ratably during the contract term. The Company’s performance obligation for insurance revenue is to collect insurance fees from the customer and provide the third-party provider payment for the insurance provided to the customer. The insurance is offered over a fixed contracted period; therefore, the Company recognizes revenue ratably during the contract term.

 

Rental and insurance transactions are prepaid at the beginning of the rental cycle (typically a one-week rental that has an automatic renewal) with an automatic charge to the customer’s credit card on file through the DIA system. The DIA system then distributes the vehicle owner share (typically 85% of rental revenue) to the vehicle owner’s bank account from the Stripe Account. This amount is shown as a deduction to Revenues (“Vehicle Owner Share”) on the Company’s Statements of Operations. The net amount is then transferred from the Company’s Stripe Account to the DIA operating bank account. DIA also distributes insurance amounts due to the third-party insurance provider on a monthly basis. This amount is shown as a deduction to revenues (“Driver & Dealer Insurance Cost”) on the Company’s Statements of Operations.

 

DIA also generates miscellaneous revenue in a number of ways. At the end of the rental term, the DIA software system checks for any excess usage and charges, based on the terms of the rental contract, and will automatically charge a customer’s credit card. These charges are recognized when the credit card charge goes through and recorded as miscellaneous revenue on the Company’s Statements of Operations. Additional miscellaneous revenue represents amounts earned on telematics equipment and telematics software services related to each rental vehicle used to track excess usage and charges. DIA performance obligation is to provide the equipment to the vehicle owner for self-installation and allow access to the software throughout the rental term. The Company recognizes revenue when the equipment is delivered to the vehicle owner. Miscellaneous revenue associated with use of the telematics software is recognized on a monthly basis.

 

The Company’s Cost of Goods sold consists of direct expenses, such as roadside assistance or telematics service fees, and credit card fees incurred from the cash collections and cash remittance process, as a significant portion of its performance obligation is to collect and remit payments through its credit card processors.

 

General Advertising Costs

 

General advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred general advertising costs for the six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 of $38,451 and $4,889, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all restricted stock awards and stock options. The fair value of restricted stock awards is measured using the grant date fair value of our stock, as determined by the Board of Directors. The fair value of stock options is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and the portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation cost over the requisite service period. We have elected to recognize compensation expense for all options with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the entire option. The determination of fair value using the Black-Scholes pricing model is affected by our stock value as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including expected stock price volatility and the risk-free interest rate.

 

Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes and deferred income taxes are determined using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. On a periodic basis, the Company assesses the probability that its net deferred tax assets, if any, will be recovered. If after evaluating all of the positive and negative evidence, a conclusion is made that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be recovered, a valuation allowance is provided by a charge to tax expense to reserve the portion of the deferred tax assets which are not expected to be realized.

 

Net Loss per Share of Common Stock

 

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares and potential shares outstanding during the period. Potential shares of common stock consist of shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible debt, preferred stock, warrants and stock option.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
