REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Empire Services, Inc. and Subsidiary
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Empire Services, Inc. and subsidiary (The “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2020 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit, recurring losses, and expects continuing future losses. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the audited consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.

EMPIRE SERVICES, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2020 and 2019
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Empire Services, Inc. (“Empire” or the “Company”) operates 11 metal recycling facilities in Virginia and North Carolina. The Company was incorporated in the State of Virginia on February 12, 2004.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Liverman Metal Recycling, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions were eliminated during consolidation.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had cash of $301,012 and a working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $7,915,378. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the net loss was $3,749,370 and net cash used in operating activities was $289,471. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had cash of $54,795 and a working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $7,154,876. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the net income was $547,684 and net cash provided by operating activities was $3,334,659 conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the audited consolidated financial statements.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company received proceeds of $3,309,500, $543,000, $500,000 and $197,000 from the issuance of advances, a paycheck protection program loan, an emergency injury disaster loan and non-convertible notes, respectively. During fiscal year 2020, the Company used $243,652 to purchase equipment. The Company may not have sufficient cash to fund operations for the next fiscal year. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company received proceeds of $1,109,601 and $1,240,000 from the issuance of advances and non-convertible notes, respectively. During fiscal year 2019, the Company used $159,407 to purchase equipment. The Company may not have sufficient cash to fund operations for the next fiscal year.
The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from operating activities. The Company has occasionally experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company’s ability to continue its operations is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional capital through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or other sources; however, financing may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. The Company’s failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on its financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategy, and the Company may be forced to curtail or cease operations.
Management’s plans regarding these matters encompass the following actions: 1) obtain funding from new and current investors to alleviate the Company’s working capital deficiency; and 2) implement a plan to increase revenues. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital. However, the outcome of management’s plans cannot be determined with any degree of certainty.
Accordingly, the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for one year from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the audited consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The audited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. It is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak of COVID-19 and its effects on our business including our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations at this time. Management is actively monitoring the global situation and its impact on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, operations, customers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects that the COVID-19 outbreak will have on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2021. As of the date these financial statements were issued, the Company has experienced delays in securing new customers and related revenues and the longer this pandemic continues there may be additional impacts. Furthermore, the COVID-19 outbreak has and may continue to impact the Company’s ability to raise capital.
Although the Company cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak at this time, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, liquidity, and capital resources, and those of the third parties on which the Company relies in fiscal year 2021.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Empire Services, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include right-of-use, lease liability, and environmental remediation calculations. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 825-10, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk.
The Company follows ASC 825-10, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.
Cash
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in accounts that at times may be in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000 per bank. The Company minimizes this risk by placing its cash deposits with major financial institutions. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the uninsured balances amounted to $57,041 and $0, respectively.
8
Property and Equipment, net
We state property and equipment at cost or, if acquired through a business combination, fair value at the date of acquisition. We calculate depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, except for our leasehold improvements, which are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or their related lease term. Upon the sale or retirement of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from our accounts and the resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income. We expense costs for repairs and maintenance when incurred. Property and equipment includes assets recorded under finance leases, see “Note 9—Leases.” We pledge property and equipment as collateral for our line of credit. See “Note 8—Long Term Debt.”
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when services are realized or realizable and earned, less estimated future doubtful accounts.
The Company’s revenues are accounted for under ASC Topic 606, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers” (“ASC 606”) and generally do not require significant estimates or judgments based on the nature of the Company’s revenue streams. The sales prices are generally fixed at the point of sale and all consideration from contracts is included in the transaction price. The Company’s contracts do not include multiple performance obligations or material variable consideration.
In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following:
| (i) | Identify the contract(s) with a customer; |
| (ii) | Identify the performance obligation in the contract; |
| (iii) | Determine the transaction price; |
| (iv) | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| (v) | Recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
The Company primarily generates revenue by purchasing scrap metal from businesses and retail customers, processing it, and selling the ferrous and non-ferrous metals to clients.
The Company realizes revenue upon the fulfillment of its performance obligations to customers. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had a contract liability of $52,955 and $0, respectively, for scrap metal customers had paid for and the Company had not yet delivered.
Inventories
We maintain minimal inventories as we ship the ferrous and non-ferrous metals we purchase to customers multiple times per day. We calculate the value of the minimal inventories we do carry, which consist of processed and unprocessed scrap metal (ferrous and nonferrous), used and salvaged vehicles, and supplies, based on the net realizable value or the cost of the inventories, whichever is less. We calculate the value of the inventory based on the first-in-first-out (FIFO) methodology. The value of our inventories was $0 and $0, respectively, as of December 31, 2019 and 2020.
9
Advertising
The Company charges the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. Advertising costs were $1,095 and $6,671 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company is organized as a Corporation and has elected to be taxed as S-Corporation for state and federal tax purposes. Income taxes are not payable by the Company. Shareholders of S-Corporations are taxed individually on their applicable share of earnings. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is reflected in these financial statements. Net income or loss is allocated to the shareholder of the corporation.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its property and equipment and any identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The test for impairment is required to be performed by management at least annually. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted operating cash flow expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Intangible assets are stated at cost and reviewed annually to examine any impairments, usually assuming an estimated useful life of three to five years. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the Chief Executive Officer, or decision-making group, in deciding the method to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company currently has one reportable segment for financial reporting purposes, which represents the Company’s core business.
Environmental Remediation Liability
The operations of the Company, like those of other companies in its industry, are subject to various domestic and foreign environmental laws and regulations. These laws and regulations not only govern current operations and products, but also impose potential liability on the Company for past operations. Management expects environmental laws and regulations to impose increasingly stringent requirements upon the Company and the industry in the future. Management believes that the Company conducts its operations in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and has implemented various programs designed to protect the environment and promote continued compliance.
The Company is involved with environmental investigation and remediation activities at some of its currently operated sites. In addition, the Company, together with other parties, has been designated a potentially responsible party under federal and state environmental protection laws for the investigation and remediation of environmental matters. In general, these laws provide that potentially responsible parties may be held jointly and severally liable for investigation and remediation costs regardless of fault.
10
The Company initially provides for estimated costs of environmental-related activities relating to its past operations for which commitments or clean-up plans have been developed and when such costs can be reasonably estimated based on industry standards and professional judgment. These estimated costs, which are undiscounted, are determined based on currently available facts regarding each site. If the reasonably estimable costs can only be identified as a range and no specific amount within that range can be determined more likely than any other amount within the range, the minimum of the range is provided.
The Company continuously assesses its potential liability for investigation and remediation-related activities and adjusts its environmental-related accruals as information becomes available upon which more accurate costs can be reasonably estimated and as additional accounting guidelines are issued. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had accruals reported on the balance sheet as current liabilities of $140,000 and $140,000, respectively.
Actual costs incurred may vary from the accrued estimates due to the inherent uncertainties involved including, among others, the nature and magnitude of the wastes involved, the various technologies that can be used for remediation and the determination of acceptable remediation with respect to a particular site. Additionally, costs for environmental-related activities may not be reasonably estimable and therefore would not be included in our current liabilities.
Management expects these contingent environmental-related liabilities to be resolved over the next fiscal year.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which, among other things, requires lessees to recognize substantially all leases on their balance sheets and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right of use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations. The new standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019.
We adopted Topic 842 utilizing the modified retrospective adoption method with an effective date of January 1, 2019. We made the election to not apply the recognition requirements in Topic 842 to short-term leases (i.e., leases of 12 months or less) for all classes of underlying assets. Instead, we recognize lease payments in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition, in accordance with Topic 842, variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred are not included in the recognition of a lease liability or right-of-use asset. We elected to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component for all underlying classes of assets with lease and non-lease components. The adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the recognition of operating lease liabilities of $4,678,108 and $5,863,648 and operating ROU assets of $4,533,747 and $5,777,550 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, primarily related to leases for the company’s metal recycling facilities. There was no cumulative effect adjustment to beginning Stockholders’ Deficit on the consolidated balance sheet. The accounting for our finance leases remained substantially unchanged, as finance lease liabilities and their corresponding ROU assets were already recorded on the consolidated balance sheets under the previous guidance. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a significant effect on our results from operations or cash flows. See “Note 9—Leases” for additional disclosures required by Topic 842.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies the guidance on accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the separation models for: (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature; and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, the Company will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt. Instead, we will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. We expect the elimination of these models will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for the Company’s convertible instruments falling under the scope of those models before the adoption of ASU 2020-06. Also, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method will be no longer available. The provisions of ASU 2020-06 are applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
11
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 removes certain disclosure requirements, including the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 also adds disclosure requirements, including changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements, and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. ASU 2018-13 became effective for us on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
There are other various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCES
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Except as set forth below, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Under the Consent Order, the Company is required to pay a civil penalty of $90,000, improve its internal control plans regarding recycled and waste materials, remediate certain environmental concerns on the properties it leases, among other requirements. The Company believes it is appropriate to recognize an environmental remediation liability as a regulatory claim was asserted in the Notices of Violations issued to the Company in November 2019, for which the June 2021 Consent Order rectifies.
The Company has recognized a $140,000 environmental remediation liability as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, which the Company believes $50,000 is a fair estimate of the cost to remediate the properties it leases and the $90,000 civil penalty.

NOTE 9 – LEASES
Property Leases (Operating Leases)
The Company leases its facilities and certain office equipment under operating leases which expire on various dates through 2025. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and whether they are finance or operating leases. Right of Use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When readily determinable, the Company uses the implicit rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU asset also includes any fixed lease payments, including in-substance fixed lease payments and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease term is determined at lease commencement and includes any non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with any options to extend that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.

As an S Corporation, the Company is generally not subject to corporate income taxes and the Company’s net income or loss is reported on the individual tax return of the stockholder of the Company. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes is reflected in the financial statements.
The Company has not been audited by the Internal Revenue Service, and accordingly the business tax returns since 2016 are open to examination. Management has evaluated its tax positions and has concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that could require adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements to comply with provisions set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Section 740, Income Taxes.
NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued.
On March 16, 2021, the Company received a $543,275 Paycheck Protection Program loan.
On April 1, 2021, the Small Business Administration forgave the Company’s Paycheck Protection Program loan in the principal amount of $543,000 and accrued interest of $5,219.
On September 30, 2021, MassRoots, Inc. entered into definitive agreements to acquire the Company for consideration of (i) 482,504,742 shares of Common Stock, (ii) within 3 business days of the closing of the Company’s next capital raise, repayment of a $1 million advance made to purchase Empire’s Virginia Beach location and (iii) a promissory note in the principal amount of $3.7 million with a maturity date of September 30, 2023. The acquisition was effective October 1, 2021 upon the effectiveness of a Certificate of Merger in Virginia.

EMPIRE SERVICES, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Empire Services, Inc. (“Empire” or the “Company”) operates 11 metal recycling facilities in Virginia and North Carolina. The Company was incorporated in the State of Virginia on February 12, 2004.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Liverman Metal Recycling, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions were eliminated during consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications and non-recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s results of operations for nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and its financial position as of September 30, 2021 have been made. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Current Report on Form 8-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The December 31, 2020 balance sheet is derived from those statements.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash of $141,027 and a working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $8,623,838. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, although the net profit was $2,457,940 and net cash generated by operating activities was $1,838,065, these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the audited consolidated financial statements.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company received proceeds of $2,692,500, $543,275, and $179,500 from the issuance of advances, a paycheck protection program loan, and non-convertible notes, respectively. The Company may not have sufficient cash to fund operations for the next fiscal year.
The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from operating activities. The Company has occasionally experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company’s ability to continue its operations is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional capital through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or other sources; however, financing may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. The Company’s failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on its financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategy, and the Company may be forced to curtail or cease operations.
Management’s plans regarding these matters encompass the following actions: 1) obtain funding from new and current investors to alleviate the Company’s working capital deficiency; and 2) implement a plan to increase revenues. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital. However, the outcome of management’s plans cannot be determined with any degree of certainty.
5
Accordingly, the accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for one year from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the audited consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The audited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. It is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak of COVID-19 and its effects on our business including our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations at this time. Management is actively monitoring the global situation and its impact on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, operations, customers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects that the COVID-19 outbreak will have on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2022. As of the date these financial statements were issued, the Company has experienced delays in securing new customers and related revenues and the longer this pandemic continues there may be additional impacts. Furthermore, the COVID-19 outbreak has and may continue to impact the Company’s ability to raise capital.
Although the Company cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak at this time, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, liquidity, and capital resources, and those of the third parties on which the Company relies in fiscal year 2022.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Empire Services, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the incremental borrowing rate of the lease liabilities, and environmental remediation calculations. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 825-10, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk.
The Company follows ASC 825-10, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.
6
Cash
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Company had no cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in accounts that at times may be in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000 per bank. The Company minimizes this risk by placing its cash deposits with major financial institutions. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the uninsured balances amounted to $0 and $57,041, respectively.
Property and Equipment, net
We state property and equipment at cost or, if acquired through a business combination, fair value at the date of acquisition. We calculate depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, except for our leasehold improvements, which are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or their related lease term. Upon the sale or retirement of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from our accounts and the resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income. We expense costs for repairs and maintenance when incurred. Property and equipment includes assets recorded under finance leases, see “Note 9—Leases.” We pledge property and equipment as collateral for our line of credit. See “Note 8—Long Term Debt.”
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when services are realized or realizable and earned, less estimated future doubtful accounts.
The Company’s revenues are accounted for under ASC Topic 606, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers” (“ASC 606”) and generally do not require significant estimates or judgments based on the nature of the Company’s revenue streams. The sales prices are generally fixed at the point of sale and all consideration from contracts is included in the transaction price. The Company’s contracts do not include multiple performance obligations or material variable consideration.
In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following:
| (i) | Identify the contract(s) with a customer; |
| (ii) | Identify the performance obligation in the contract; |
| (iii) | Determine the transaction price; |
| (iv) | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| (v) | Recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
The Company primarily generates revenue by purchasing scrap metal from businesses and retail customers, processing it, and selling the ferrous and non-ferrous metals to clients.
The Company realizes revenue upon the fulfillment of its performance obligations to customers. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had a contract liability of $0 and $52,955, respectively, for scrap metal customers had paid for and the Company had not yet delivered.
7
Inventories
We maintain minimal inventories as we ship the ferrous and non-ferrous metals we purchase to customers multiple times per day. We calculate the value of the minimal inventories we do carry, which consist of processed and unprocessed scrap metal (ferrous and nonferrous), used and salvaged vehicles, and supplies, based on the net realizable value or the cost of the inventories, whichever is less. We calculate the value of the inventory based on the first-in-first-out (FIFO) methodology. The value of our inventories was $0 and $0, respectively, at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Advertising
The Company charges the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. Advertising costs were $5,764 and $807 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company is organized as a Corporation and has elected to be taxed as S-Corporation for state and federal tax purposes. Income taxes are not payable by the Company. Shareholders of S-Corporations are taxed individually on their applicable share of earnings. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is reflected in these financial statements. Net income or loss is allocated to the shareholder of the corporation.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its property and equipment and any identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The test for impairment is required to be performed by management at least annually. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted operating cash flow expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Intangible assets are stated at cost and reviewed annually to examine any impairments, usually assuming an estimated useful life of three to five years. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the Chief Executive Officer, or decision-making group, in deciding the method to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company currently has one reportable segment for financial reporting purposes, which represents the Company’s core business.
Environmental Remediation Liability
The operations of the Company, like those of other companies in its industry, are subject to various domestic and foreign environmental laws and regulations. These laws and regulations not only govern current operations and products, but also impose potential liability on the Company for past operations. Management expects environmental laws and regulations to impose increasingly stringent requirements upon the Company and the industry in the future. Management believes that the Company conducts its operations in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and has implemented various programs designed to protect the environment and promote continued compliance.
The Company is involved with environmental investigation and remediation activities at some of its currently operated sites. In addition, the Company, together with other parties, has been designated a potentially responsible party under federal and state environmental protection laws for the investigation and remediation of environmental matters. In general, these laws provide that potentially responsible parties may be held jointly and severally liable for investigation and remediation costs regardless of fault.
8
The Company initially provides for estimated costs of environmental-related activities relating to its past operations for which commitments or clean-up plans have been developed and when such costs can be reasonably estimated based on industry standards and professional judgment. These estimated costs, which are undiscounted, are determined based on currently available facts regarding each site. If the reasonably estimable costs can only be identified as a range and no specific amount within that range can be determined more likely than any other amount within the range, the minimum of the range is provided.
The Company continuously assesses its potential liability for investigation and remediation-related activities and adjusts its environmental-related accruals as information becomes available upon which more accurate costs can be reasonably estimated and as additional accounting guidelines are issued. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had accruals reported on the balance sheet as current liabilities of $71,017 and $140,000, respectively.
Actual costs incurred may vary from the accrued estimates due to the inherent uncertainties involved including, among others, the nature and magnitude of the wastes involved, the various technologies that can be used for remediation and the determination of acceptable remediation with respect to a particular site. Additionally, costs for environmental-related activities may not be reasonably estimable and therefore would not be included in our current liabilities.
Management expects these contingent environmental-related liabilities to be resolved over the next fiscal year.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which, among other things, requires lessees to recognize substantially all leases on their balance sheets and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right of use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations. The new standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019.
We adopted Topic 842 utilizing the modified retrospective adoption method with an effective date of January 1, 2019. We made the election to not apply the recognition requirements in Topic 842 to short-term leases (i.e., leases of 12 months or less) for all classes of underlying assets. Instead, we recognize lease payments in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition, in accordance with Topic 842, variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred are not included in the recognition of a lease liability or right-of-use asset. We elected to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component for all underlying classes of assets with lease and non-lease components. The adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the recognition of operating lease liabilities of $3,729,219 and $4,678,108 and operating ROU assets of $3,585,961 and $4,533,747 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, primarily related to leases for the company’s metal recycling facilities. There was no cumulative effect adjustment to beginning Stockholders’ Deficit on the consolidated balance sheet. The accounting for our finance leases remained substantially unchanged, as finance lease liabilities and their corresponding ROU assets were already recorded on the consolidated balance sheets under the previous guidance. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a significant effect on our results from operations or cash flows. See “Note 9—Leases” for additional disclosures required by Topic 842.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies the guidance on accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the separation models for: (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature; and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, the Company will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt. Instead, we will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. We expect the elimination of these models will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for the Company’s convertible instruments falling under the scope of those models before the adoption of ASU 2020-06. Also, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method will be no longer available. The provisions of ASU 2020-06 are applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 removes certain disclosure requirements, including the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 also adds disclosure requirements, including changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements, and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. ASU 2018-13 became effective for us on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
There are other various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 9 – LEASES
Property Leases (Operating Leases)
The Company leases its facilities and certain office equipment under operating leases which expire on various dates through 2025 and thereafter. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and whether they are finance or operating leases. Right of Use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When readily determinable, the Company uses the implicit rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU asset also includes any fixed lease payments, including in-substance fixed lease payments and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease term is determined at lease commencement and includes any non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with any options to extend that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.

Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. and Empire
Notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial information
Note 1 — Description of the Acquisition
On September 30, 2021, Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. (the “Company” or “Greenwave”) entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Empire Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), Empire Services, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“Empire”), and Danny Meeks, the sole shareholder of Empire (the “Stockholder”), to acquire Empire.
Empire, a company headquartered in Virginia, operates 11 metal recycling facilities in Virginia and North Carolina, where it collects, classifies and processes raw scrap metals (ferrous and nonferrous) for recycling, such as iron, steel, aluminum, copper, lead, stainless steel and zinc. Empire’s business consists of purchasing scrap metals from retail customers, municipal governments and large corporations, and selling both processed and unprocessed scrap metals to steel mills and others purchasers across the country. Empire utilizes technology to create operating efficiencies and competitive advantages over other scrap metal recyclers. As of October 2021, Empire has 73 employees.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Empire (the “Merger”), with Empire as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”). The Merger became effective upon the filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on September 30, 2021 and articles of merger with the with the State Corporation Commission of Virginia.
At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Empire’s common stock held by the Stockholder was converted into the right to receive consideration consisting of: (i) a number of newly-issued restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) resulting in the Stockholder holding an aggregate of 495,000,000 shares of Common Stock at and as of the Effective Time (the “Merger Share Consideration”), (ii) within 3 business days of the closing of the Company’s next capital raise, repayment of a $1 million advance made to purchase Empire’s Virginia Beach location and (iii) a promissory note in the principal amount of $3.7 million with a maturity date of September 30, 2023.
The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants customary for transactions of this type. Investors in, and security holders of, the Company should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts since they were made only as of the date of the Empire Acquisition Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of such representation and warranties may change after the date of the Empire Acquisition Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.
Note 2 — Basis of Presentation
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of the combined company is presented to illustrate the proposed effects of the Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Final Rule Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaced the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). The combined company has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and explanatory notes have been prepared to illustrate the effects of the Acquisition involving Greenwave and Empire under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations, with Greenwave treated as the accounting acquirer. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed of Empire are recognized and measured as of the acquisition date at fair value, defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, and added to those of Greenwave which are based on its respective historical financial information.
5
ASC 820 defines the term “fair value” and sets forth the valuation requirements for any asset or liability measured at fair value, expands related disclosure requirements and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. Fair value is defined as “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.” This is an exit price concept for the valuation of the asset or liability. In addition, market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers unrelated to the Company in the principal (or the most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use by these market participants. As a result of these standards, the Company may be required to record assets which are not intended to be used or sold and/or to value assets at fair value measures that do not reflect the intended use of those assets. Many of these fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is also possible that others, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts.
Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the Transaction Accounting Adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded might differ materially from the information presented.
Upon consummation of the Acquisition, a final determination of the fair value of Empire’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be performed. Any changes in the fair values of the net assets or total consideration as compared with the information shown in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may change the amount of the total purchase consideration allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact the Company’s statement of operations following the consummation of the Acquisition. The final consideration allocation may be materially different than the preliminary allocation presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for illustrative and information purposes only and is not intended to represent or necessarily be indicative of the combined company’s results of operations or financial condition had the Acquisition been completed on the dates indicated, nor do they purport to project Company’s results of operations or financial condition for any future period or as of any future date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not include any expected cost savings or operating synergies, which may be realized subsequent to the combination or the impact of any non-recurring activity and one-time transaction-related or integration-related items. Moreover, the pro forma adjustments represent best estimates based upon the information available to date and are preliminary and subject to change after more detailed information is obtained.
Note 3 — Accounting Policies and Reclassification Adjustments
The Company has not identified all adjustments necessary to conform Empire’s accounting policies to Greenwave’s accounting policies. Upon consummation of the Acquisition, or as more information becomes available, the Company will perform a more detailed review of Empire’s accounting policies. Upon consummation of the Acquisition, the Company will perform a comprehensive review of its accounting policies. The Company may, as a result, identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the combined consolidated financial statements.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed of Empire are recognized and measured as of the acquisition date at fair value and added to those of Greenwave. The determination of fair value used in the pro forma adjustments are presented herein.
Note 4 — Acquisition Consideration
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect a purchase price of approximately $23,114,000 (the “Acquisition Consideration”) comprised of the following:
| Purchase Price: | Fair Value | |||
| Stock (MSRT Common Shares) | $ | 18,414,000 | ||
| Promissory Note ($3.7M) | 3,700,000 | |||
| Promissory Note ($1M) | 1,000,000 | |||
| Total Purchase Price | $ | 23,114,000 | ||
6
Note 5 — Purchase Price Allocation
Greenwave has performed a preliminary allocation of the Acquisition Consideration to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Empire. Using the total Acquisition Consideration for the Acquisition, the Company has valued the allocations to such assets and liabilities. The purchase price allocation is based on financial information of Empire as of the closing date which represents the best information available to management at the time of this filing.
The following table summarizes the allocation of the estimated preliminary Acquisition Consideration:
| Fair Value | ||||
| Assets acquired | ||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 141,027 | ||
| Deposits | 1,150 | |||
| Notes receivable – related party | 1,515,778 | |||

| (1) | Goodwill represents the excess of Acquisition Consideration over the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired. In accordance with ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill will not be amortized but rather subject to annual impairment test, absent any indicators of impairment. Goodwill recorded in the Acquisitions is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Greenwave management is still in the process of valuing any identifiable intangible assets, to which the valuation may impact the final goodwill amount. |
This purchase price allocation has been used to prepare the Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the condensed combined pro forma balance sheet and statements of operations and is described in more detail in the explanatory notes in Note 6 — Pro Forma Adjustments.
