PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
The Company is a technology-focused enterprise providing software development and business services to the transportation, mobility, and technology sectors. Leveraging years of operational experience and data in innovative and sustainable transportation solutions, the Company delivers scalable, white-label technology solutions for customers in the transportation, mobility and broader technology sectors.
The Company has adjusted its primary focus to the continued development and commercialization of its technology platform. The Company generates revenue primarily through an enterprise solutions model, that could provide white-label and enterprise-level software solutions to partners and clients in the transportation, mobility and broader technology sectors.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we started providing software development services. To date, our only client has been Everli, S.p.A., a related party that is controlled by our majority shareholder, Salvatore Palella. These services generated approximately $1.4 million in revenue in our 2024 fiscal year.
Organizational History
We were originally incorporated in Delaware in 2015 as an intra-urban transportation company. In August 2021, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GVAC merged with and into Helbiz Holdings, Inc., with Helbiz Holdings, Inc. surviving the merger and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of GVAC. Because GVAC was a special purpose acquisition vehicle with no operations other than seeking a business combination with an operating entity, Helbiz Holdings, Inc. is considered the accounting survivor. In connection with the Merger, GVAC changed its name to Helbiz, Inc.
On December 18, 2023, the Company was notified by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that as a result of the Company’s previously disclosed noncompliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(a)(2) and 5550(b)(2), Nasdaq has determined to delist the Company’s common stock and warrants from the Nasdaq Capital Market and, accordingly, will suspend trading in the Company’s common stock and warrants effective at the open of business, on December 20, 2023. On that same day the trading of the Company’s common stock and warrants commenced on the OTC Pink Sheets under its current trading symbol “MCOM” and “MCOMW”.
We previously offered our micromobility solutions in the United States, but starting in 2023, we began to significantly reduce the cities in which we offered such solutions. In 2024, we sold the last entities holding licenses to offer micromobility solutions in the United States.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company decided to indefinitely suspend the mobility operations in the United States of America due to the high costs connected and the Company’s strategy to reduce the operating cash burn. On August 19, 2024, following the aforementioned decision to suspend the mobility operations in US, the Company sold 100% of the equity interest of Wheels Lab, Inc. (“Wheels”) to a third party.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company decided to exit the mobility operations in Europe due to the declining Electric mobility sector and the company’s inability to raise additional capital to sustain the mobility operations. As of the date hereof, we no longer have mobility operations.
On December 31, 2024, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with an entity controlled by our majority shareholder Salvatore Palella. Pursuant to the Agreement, we agreed to the transfer and sale of (i) all of the issued and outstanding shares of our subsidiaries Helbiz Europe Limited (which includes media and European mobility businesses) and Micromobility.com Italia S.r.l. and (ii) all rights, title and interest in all Helbiz brands currently owned by MCOM including, but not limited to: (i) the Helbiz platforms, (ii) all intellectual property owned by MCOM including patents and trademarks related to Helbiz and (iii) any trade secrets and related data, as well as any internally produced material by us (including its subsidiaries) in exchange for a sales price of $0.1 million, as a reduction of our debt owned by the Purchaser. Prior to the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Agreement, we must transfer the full ownership of Helbiz DOO so that it is a wholly- and directly-owned subsidiary of Micromobility.com Inc. and we must receive the approval of the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York in the action captioned Bernheim Investment Fund SICAV v. micromobility.com Inc., Index No. 158212/2024 (or another court of competent jurisdiction), or waiver by Bernheim Investment Fund SICAV and Copernicus Holding SA. As of the date hereof, we have not received such approval, and we may never receive such approval.
Software and Advisory Services
From incorporation and into 2024, our primary business was the provision of on-demand transportation as a service through a fleet of electric vehicles that could be accessed on our mobile app. As part of the business, our information technology team, primarily run through our Serbian subsidiary, developed several in-house apps (including one focused on the users of our vehicles, another on servicing our vehicles when not in use and a third for streaming content on our media platform) and focused on other technological advancements such a geo-fencing features and online payment integration.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we started providing software development services through our Serbian subsidiary. To date, our only client has been Everli, S.p.A., a related party that is controlled by our majority shareholder, Salvatore Palella. These services generated approximately $1.4 million in revenue in our 2024 fiscal year.
In detail, we provide software development services and advisory services to entities looking to become public companies, though as mentioned above, our only client to date for these services is a related party.

Other business lines discontinued
Helbiz Media
We formed Helbiz Media, our wholly-owned subsidiary dedicated to the acquisition and distribution of content over Helbiz Live, an internally developed app. In June 2023, the Company received communications from LNPB, the main live content provider, notifying that it was terminating early the agreements related to the commercialization and broadcast of the LNPB content. The communications also requested the immediate payment of the invoices overdue amounting to $11.4 million. In February 2024, the Company entered into a Settlement agreement with LNPB. In detail, the main amended term was the full satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under the original agreements in exchange of a payment of $5.4 million, last payment has been made in January 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a gain from extinguishment of debt classified as discontinued operations. in the consolidated statement of operations amounted to $4.8 million.
As mentioned above, on December 31, 2024, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with an entity controlled by our majority shareholder Salvatore Palella. Pursuant to the Agreement, we agreed to the transfer and sale of (i) all of the issued and outstanding shares of our subsidiaries Helbiz Europe Limited and Micromobility.com Italia S.r.l. Helbiz Media is fully owned by Helbiz Europe Limited and will be transferred if the closing conditions set out in the Stock Purchase Agreement are met.
Suppliers
The company has no material suppliers that it relies on for the software and advisory services.
Employees
As of March 31, 2025, we have 27 full-time employees and 2 part-time employees. None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement, and we believe that our relations with our employees generally are good.
The following table sets out the number of our employees on a full-time basis:

Material Agreements
In addition to our compensation agreements with management and other material agreements described elsewhere in this annual report, we have entered into the following material agreements under which we still have obligations or rights.
Loan and Security Agreement
On March 23, 2021, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”) and other related agreements with four institutional lenders. Under the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement, the aggregate principal amount of the loan was $15 million dollars and we received net proceeds of $11.9 million thereunder. We are required to pay back such loan and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon on December 1, 2023.
The loan carries interest at 9.2% per annum, which increases in the event of a default under the loan to 13.2%. The interest of the loan is due monthly, but no payments need be made directly by us during the first year as twelve months of interest payments were held in reserve and the first interest payments are paid from that reserve until it is reduced to zero. At closing, we were required to pay in advance an intellectual property insurance premium of 3.5% per annum (or part thereof).
In connection with the loan, we granted the lenders a security interest in certain intellectual property held by us. In the event of a default, the lenders may acquire that intellectual property to settle any amounts due under the loan.
On December 8, 2023, we entered into an Assignment and Release Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) by and among the holder of the obligations under the Agreement (the “Assignor”) and YA II PN, Ltd. (the “Assignee”). Pursuant to that Assignment Agreement, in exchange for the settlement amount of approximately $3.6 million, the Assignor assigned and conveyed the aggregate principal amount outstanding (the “Principal”) under a loan agreement the Company entered into with the Assignor on March 23, 2021, to the Assignee. In connection with the Assignment Agreement, we also agreed to grant the Assignee conversion rights subject to the outstanding balance of $5.7 million (the “New Principal”), the remaining principal, subject to a conversion price of $1.25 per share of common stock of the Company (the “Conversion Price”). As a result, the Assignee may convert the New Principal in its sole discretion at any time on or prior to maturity at the Conversion Price. We may not convert any portion of the New Principal if such conversion would result in the Assignee beneficially owning more than 4.99% of our then issued common stock, provided that such limitation may be waived by the Assignee with 65 days’ notice.
In December 2024, the Loan and Security Agreement, totaling approximately $6.3 million in principal and accrued interests, were assigned to an entity controlled by our majority shareholder, Salvatore Palella. Refer to next paragraph “Assignment and Release Agreement” for further details As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in default for non-payment under the terms of the Loan and Secured Agreement.

Acquisition of Wheels Labs, Inc. and sale of Wheels
On November 18, 2022, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Wheels Labs, Inc. (“Wheels”), and Wheels became our wholly-owned subsidiary when another wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”) merged with and into Wheels (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, we entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Amended Merger Agreement”) on October 24, 2022 with Wheels and Merger Sub and an Escrow Agreement with Wheels, Merger Sub, an escrow agent and an authorized representative of certain security holders of Wheels.
Pursuant to the Amended Merger Agreement, in exchange for all of the outstanding share capital of Wheels, Merger Sub merged with and into Wheels and became our wholly-owned subsidiary.

Market Information
Common Stock
Our Class A common stock is listed on the on the OTCQB. For a portion of our 2024 fiscal year, it traded on the OTC Pink Sheets. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated the high and low closing prices of our common stock on the OTCQB or OTC Pink Sheets as reported by Yahoo Finance.

The last reported sales price for our shares of common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market as of April 14, 2025, was $0.005 per share. As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately 96 shareholders of record for our common stock.

Dividends
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon then existing conditions, including our financial condition and results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business prospects and other factors that the board of directors considers relevant.

Nasdaq and OTCQB Compliance
On December 20, 2023, our common stock was delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market for failure to meet continued listing requirements. We currently trade on the OTCQB but have ceased to remain in compliance with the OTCQB’s requirement that shares of stock traded thereon not trade below $0.01 for more than 30 consecutive days. If we are removed from the OTCQB, our stock will trade on the OTC Pink Sheets. Historically, stock that trades on the OTC Pink Sheets has had a lower volume than a stock that trades on a national securities exchange. We believe that the resulting material adverse consequences include:
| • | a limited availability of market quotations for our securities; | |
| • | reduced liquidity for our securities; | |
| • | a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities; | |
| • | a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and | |
| • | a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. |
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
There have been no sales of unregistered equity securities that we have not previously disclosed in filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Recent events – Discontinued operations
The Company was an intra-urban transportation and media company, offering affordable, accessible, and sustainable forms of personal transportation, and providing live and non-live media content. During 2024, the Company decided to drastically reduce, and in some area suspend, its mobility and media operations, both in Italy and the United States of America, due to the high costs and related cash burn.
Following the decision to reduce its mobility and media operations, the Company entered into two Securities Purchase Agreements for selling the mobility and media businesses.
On August 19, 2024, following the indefinite suspension of the mobility business in the United States of America the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with a third-party, not considered a customer, for selling 100% of the equity interest of Wheels Lab, Inc. (“Wheels”), no closing conditions were included in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
On December 31, 2024, following the decision to reduce the mobility and media operations in Europe, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with a related-party, Palella Holdings LLC, (qualified as related party because it is the Company’s major shareholder, and it is fully owned by the former Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer) for selling 100% of the equity interest of Helbiz Europe Limited (excluding Helbiz Doo and including Helbiz Media) and micromobility.com Italia S.r.l. and the rights, title and interests in all Helbiz brands and platforms owned by the Company.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Indebtedness
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily with proceeds from outside sources of invested capital. We have had, and expect that we will continue to have, an ongoing need to raise additional cash from outside sources to fund our operations and expand our business. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be harmed. Successful transition to attaining profitable operations depends upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure.
As of December 31, 2024, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $397, of which $313 classified as discontinued operations.
We plan to continue to fund our operations through debt and equity financing, for the next twelve months.
We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth and expanded operations, including the new business lines. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all.

On August 12, 2021, the Company issued the Class B Common Stock to the Company’s former CEO (Salvatore Palella), with the clause of an automatic conversion into Class A Common Stock on the second anniversary of the issuance (August 12, 2023).
Related party shipping
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded as Cost of Revenues from discontinued operations $56 for shipping services provided by a related party. The service provider is a Company whose CEO is a parent of Salvatore Palella, Company’s majority shareholder via Palella Holdings LLC and former CEO of micromobility.com.
Board members conversion of deferred salaries
During the year ended December 31, 2023, board members converted a portion of their deferred salaries, totaling $69, into 1,062 Warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock with a strike price of $174.00 and 5-years from issuance as expiration date.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, a board member who served as consultant before joining the Board converted portion of his previous invoices, totaling $90, into 397 shares of Class A Common Stock, generating a gain for the Company amounted to $25.
Litigation
The Company is from time to time involved in legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory matters, indirect tax examinations or government inquiries and investigations that may arise in the ordinary course of business. Certain of these matters include speculative claims for substantial or indeterminate amounts of damages.
The Company records a liability when the Company believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the Company discloses the possible loss in the consolidated financial statements. The Company reviews the developments in contingencies that could affect the amount of the provisions that have been previously recorded. The Company adjusts provisions and changes to disclosures accordingly to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information. Significant judgment is required to determine both the probability and the estimated amount of any potential losses and many of the legal proceedings are early in the discovery stage and unresolved.

As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company concluded that certain losses on litigation were probable and reasonable estimable; as a result, the Company recorded as Accruals for legal contingencies, included in Legal contingencies; $0 and $3,978 (of which $1,711 were related to Wheels and classified as Liabilities from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2023), respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company was named as a defendant in an action brought in the Supreme Court of New York County, New York, for which a motion for summary judgment was entered into in October 2024 against the Company. The case is captioned Bernheim Investment Fund SICAV, vs. Micromobility.om Inc. The court’s order granting summary judgment awarded the plaintiff for the full amount of principal and interest overdue. The amount is recorded as Short-term financial liabilities in the consolidated financial statement, amounting to $2,454; because it is related to the 2022 unsecured note that the Company issued in July, 2022 in exchange for 2,000 Euro with 6.75% as interest on an annual basis. The Company is currently identifying and evaluating the alternative paths for facing the judgement.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company released an amount previously accrued, $2,250, related to a claim with a former investor who claimed financial losses amounting to $4,000 for breaching contractual obligations. The plaintiff recently withdrawn the claim and the Company released the full amount.
The Company is also involved in certain claims where the losses are not considered to be reasonably estimable or probable; for these claims the range of potential loss is between 0 to $300.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, costs and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (2) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We did not identify any critical accounting estimate as defined above.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
micromobility.com, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of micromobility.com, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, based on our audits, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024 , in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has a significant working capital deficiency, has incurred significant losses and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's 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 audits 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 audits 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 are no critical audit matters.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share data
which account for two reverse Splits
occurred during year ended December 31, 2023)
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
micromobility.com, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “micromobility.com” or the “Company”) with its headquarters in New York, New York.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company shifted its core business from micromobility and media services to IT software services. In detail, during 2024 the Company entered into a Service agreement with Everli S.p.A., a related party (an entity controlled by the Company’s major shareholder), for providing software development services.
Discontinued operations
The Company was an intra-urban transportation and media company, offering affordable, accessible, and sustainable forms of personal transportation, and providing live and non-live media content. During 2024, the Company decided to exit the mobility and media operations, both in Italy and the United States of America, due to the high costs and related cash burn.
Following the decision to reduce its mobility and media operations, the Company entered into two Securities Purchase Agreements for selling the mobility and media businesses.
On August 19, 2024 (“Sale Date”), following the indefinite suspension of the mobility business in the United States of America the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with a third-party, not considered a customer, for selling 100% of the equity interest of Wheels Lab, Inc. (“Wheels”).
On December 31, 2024,
following the decision to reduce the mobility and media operations in Europe, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with
a related-party, Palella Holdings LLC, (qualified as related party because it is the Company’s major shareholder, and it is fully
owned by the former Company’s Chief Executive Officer) for selling
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly- owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated, including the balances related to the subsidiaries involved in the Stock Purchase Agreement signed on December 31, 2024.
The Company uses the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. For foreign subsidiaries where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, gains, and losses from remeasurement of foreign currency balances into U.S. dollars are included in the consolidated statements of operations. For the foreign subsidiary where the local currency is the functional currency, translation adjustments of foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are recorded to a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
2. Going Concern and Management’s Plans
The Company has experienced recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception. To date, these operating losses have been funded primarily from outside sources of invested capital. The Company had, and expects to continue to have, an ongoing need to raise additional cash from outside sources to fund its operations. Attaining profitable operations depends upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
The Company plans to continue to fund its operations through debt and equity financing. Debt or equity financing may not be available on a timely basis on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business and, as such, the financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
| F-7 |
3. Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP generally requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of certain assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Specific accounts that require management estimates include warrant and financial instruments, purchase price allocation for business combinations, useful lives of intangible assets, property and equipment and valuation allowance for deferred income taxes.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Discontinued Operations
The Company records discontinued operations when the disposal of a separately identified business unit constitutes a strategic shift in the Company’s operations, as defined in ASC Topic 205-20, Discontinued Operations (“ASC Topic 205-20”). A strategic shift typically includes the disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business, or a significant equity investment.
When a business unit is classified as discontinued, the Company reports the results of operations, including any gain or loss on disposal, net of tax, separately from continuing operations in the consolidated statements of operations for both current and prior periods presented. Assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations are also presented separately in the consolidated balance sheets.
Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Gian Luca Spriano, is the Company’s CODM. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company has determined to have operated in one operating segment, IT services with revenues generated in Europe.
Revenue Recognition – continuing operations
The Company accounts for its revenue transactions under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC Topic 606”). In accordance with ASC Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenues when its customers obtain control of its product for an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive from its customers in exchange for that product. To determine revenue recognition for contracts that are determined to be in scope of ASC Topic 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations 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 the performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC Topic 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when such performance obligation is satisfied.
| F-8 |
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with the fair value recognition and measurement provisions of U.S. GAAP, which requires compensation cost for the grant-date fair value of stock-based awards to be recognized over the requisite service period. The fair value of stock-based awards, granted or modified, is determined on the grant date at fair value, using appropriate valuation techniques. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. In the event of a forfeiture of an unvested award, the previously recognized compensation expense related to that award is reversed in the period of forfeiture. Such reversals are recorded as a reduction to stock-based compensation expense within the consolidated statements of operations, with a corresponding decrease to additional paid-in capital. If the forfeiture relates to awards granted in prior periods that are now closed, the reversal is recorded as an adjustment to accumulated deficit.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash are potentially subject to credit risk concentration. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of cash deposits which typically exceed insured limits and are placed with international financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any material losses related to these concentrations during the periods presented.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company maintains cash in bank deposits in different currencies, mainly the U.S. Dollar, Euro and Serbian Dinar.
Foreign Currency
The Company has operations in foreign countries whose functional currency is the local currency. All assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate applicable during the period. Translation gains and losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in Exchange gain (loss), net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss when incurred.
Equipment
Equipment consists of computers and software, furniture and fixtures, and IT equipment leased under finance lease. Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using a straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related asset. Depreciation for equipment commences once they are ready for our intended use. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and improvements and betterments are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated balance sheet and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statement of operations in the period realized.
The table below, shows the useful lives for the depreciation calculation using the straight-line method:
| Useful life | ||
| Computers and Software | ||
| Furniture and fixtures |
Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the remaining term of the lease, or the useful life of the assets.
| F-9 |
Financial Liabilities
The Company accounts for Financial Liabilities between Current and Non-current liabilities based on the re-payment terms and conditions.
At the issuance of each financial instrument the Company evaluates the presence of: embedded derivatives, other instruments issued in conjunction of the financial transactions such as warrants. In case the Company identified more than one financial instrument or embedded derivatives, the Company allocates the gross proceeds, at issuance date. For subsequent measurement of bifurcated embedded derivatives and warrants classified as liability the Company followed the applicable authoritative guidance which required subsequent adjustments of the instruments at fair value with impact on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recorded for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts recognized for income tax purposes. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and provides valuation allowances as deemed necessary to reduce such deferred tax assets to the amount that will, more likely than not, be realized. A full valuation allowance was recorded against the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2024, and 2023.
Income tax expense consists of taxes currently payable and changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities calculated according to local tax rules.
Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers all available evidence for each jurisdiction including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income and the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies. In the event that the Company changes its determination of the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, the Company will adjust its valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made.
The amount of deferred tax provided is calculated using tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date. The impact of tax law changes is recognized in periods when the change is enacted.
A two-step approach is applied in the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The first step is to determine if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained in an audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement.
The Company’s policy
is to recognize interest and penalty expenses associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense in the Consolidated

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The diluted income (loss) per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period, unless the cumulative impact is anti-dilutive. For periods in which the Company reports net losses, diluted net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders, because potentially dilutive common stock are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive.

The Company reviews the developments in contingencies that could affect the amount of the provisions that have been previously recorded. The Company adjusts provisions and changes to disclosures accordingly to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information.

14. Segment and geographic information
The Company reports as one reporting segment related to software development services. Our CEO, who is our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) assesses performance of our reporting segment and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net loss from operations that is also reported on the consolidated statement of operations as consolidated net loss from operations for continuing operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total consolidated assets from continuing operations. We do not have separate business units or segment managers or vertical leaders who report to CODM with respect to operations, operating results or planning for levels or components below the total Company level. Our reporting segment is strictly related to a Service Agreement with a related party, Everli S.p.A. for providing software development services.
Our segment operating performance measures are segment Revenue and Operating Expenses. The CODM does not evaluate operating segment using asset information and, accordingly, we do not report asset information by segment. The following table provides information about our segments and a reconciliation of the total segment Revenue and Operating Expenses to loss from operations:

Assessing the realizability
of deferred tax assets requires the determination of whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets
will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considered all sources of taxable income available
to realize deferred tax assets, including the future reversal of existing temporary differences, forecasts of future taxable income, and
tax planning strategies. Based on the weight of available evidence, which includes the Company’s historical cumulative net losses,
the Company recorded a full valuation allowance. The valuation allowance decreased by $

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES
We have not had any disagreements with our accountants or auditors that would need to be disclosed pursuant to Item 304 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024. Based on such evaluation, due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of such date to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Material Weakness
Our management’s conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective was due to the identification of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the preparation of our year-end Financial Statements. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:
| · | We have insufficiently designed and operating controls surrounding the accounting policies and controls, including standardized reconciliation schedules to ensure the company's books and records are maintained in accordance with GAAP. | |
| · | Due to the company's size and nature, segregation of all duties may not be possible and may not be economically feasible. |
Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated cash flows as of and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the replacement of our Chief Executive Officer, our internal control over financial reporting has not changed during the year ended December 31, 2024 covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Board Leadership Structure
The Board believes that it should maintain the flexibility to select the Chairman of the Board and adjust its board leadership structure from time to time. Mr. Palella is currently serving as both our Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board. The Board determined that having its Chief Executive Officer also serve as the Chairman of the Board provides it with optimally effective leadership and is in its best interests and those of its stockholders. Mr. Palella founded and has led our company since its inception. The Board believes that Mr. Palella’s strategic vision for the business, his in-depth knowledge of our operations, the mobility industry, and his experience serving as the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer since our inception make him well qualified to serve as both Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.
Role of the Board in Risk Oversight
One of the key functions of the Board is informed oversight of our risk management process. The Board does not have a standing risk management committee but rather administers this oversight function directly through the Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, the Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure and our audit committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management will take to monitor and control such exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The audit committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Our compensation committee also assesses and monitors whether our compensation plans, policies and programs comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Our nominating and corporate governance committee monitors the effectiveness of our governance guidelines.
Board Committees
In August 2021, the Board established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating committee, each of which have the composition and responsibilities described below. Members will serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by the Board. Each committee operates under a charter previously approved by the Board.

The Board has determined that Lee Stern and Guy Adami each meet the requirements for independence and financial literacy under the current Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules and regulations, including Rule 10A-3. In addition, the Board has determined that Lee Stern qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act. This designation does not impose any duties, obligations, or liabilities that are greater than are generally imposed on members of the audit committee and the Board. The audit committee is responsible for, among other things:
| • | selecting a qualified firm to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements; |
| • | helping to ensure the independence and overseeing the performance of the independent registered public accounting firm; |

| • | overseeing compliance with our code of business conduct and ethics; |
| • | reviewing related party transactions; and |
| • | approving or, as permitted, pre-approving all audit and all permissible non-audit services (other than de minimis non-audit services) to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm. |
| 19 |
The audit committee operates under a written charter, which satisfies the applicable rules of the SEC and the listing standards of Nasdaq, and which is available on our website. All audit services to be provided to us and all permissible non-audit services, other than de minimis non-audit services, to be provided to us by our independent registered public accounting firm will be approved in advance by the audit committee.
Compensation Committee
Our compensation committee consists of Lee Stern and Guy Adami. The Board has determined that the composition of the compensation committee will meet the requirements for independence under the current Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules and regulations. Each member of the committee is a non-employee director, as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. The compensation committee is responsible for, among other things:
| • | reviewing, approving and determining, or making recommendations to the Board regarding, the compensation of our executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer; |
| • | making recommendations regarding non-employee director compensation to our full Board of Directors; |
| • | administering our equity compensation plans and agreements with our executive officers; |
| • | reviewing, approving and administering incentive compensation and equity compensation plans; and |
| • | reviewing and approving our overall compensation philosophy. |
The compensation committee operates under a written charter, which satisfies the applicable rules of the SEC and the listing standards of Nasdaq, and which is available on our website.
Nominating Committee
Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Lee Stern and Guy Adami. Mr. Guy Adami is the chairperson of the nominating and corporate governance committee. The Board has determined that the composition of the nominating and corporate governance committee will meet the requirements for independence under the current Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules and regulations. The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for, among other things:
| • | identifying, evaluating and selecting, or making recommendations to the Board regarding nominees for election to the Board of Directors and its committees; |
| • | considering and making recommendations to the Board regarding the composition of the Board of Directors and its committees; |
| • | developing and making recommendations to the Board regarding corporate governance guidelines and matters; |
| • | overseeing our corporate governance practices; |
| • | overseeing the evaluation and the performance of the Board and individual directors; and |
| • | contributing to succession planning. |
The nominating and corporate governance committee operates under a written charter, which satisfies the applicable rules of the SEC and the Nasdaq listing standards and is available on our website.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of the members of the compensation committee is or has been at any time one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a member of the Board or compensation committee (or other Board of Directors committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire Board of Directors) of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of the Board or compensation committee.
Code of Ethics
The Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The code of ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of our business. We did not waive any provisions of the code of business ethics during the year ended December 31, 2020. We have previously filed our form of code of ethics as an exhibit to our registration statement in connection with our initial public offering. You may review our code of ethics by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, a copy of the code of ethics will be provided without charge upon request to us in writing.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Certificate of Incorporation limits our directors’ liability to the fullest extent permitted under the “DGCL”. The DGCL provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability:
| • | for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit; |
| • | for any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
| • | for any unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares; or |
| • | for any breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders. |
If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.
Delaware law and the Bylaws provide that we will, in certain situations, indemnify our directors and officers and may indemnify other employees and other agents, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any indemnified person is also entitled, subject to certain limitations, to advancement, direct payment, or reimbursement of reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding.
In addition, we entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and officers. These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify our directors and officers for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of our directors or officers or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request.
We maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy pursuant to which our directors and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers. We believe these provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and these indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or control persons, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

As of April 14, 2025, except as set out below, none of:
| • | our directors or Named Officer; or | ||

Mr. Palella was our Chief Executive Officer until his resignation in December 2024.
Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the Commission, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. In computing the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership, the Company deemed outstanding shares of its Common Stock subject to options and warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the Closing Date. The Company did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
