Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)
1. Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Helbiz, Inc. and Subsidiaries, (“Helbiz” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in October 2015 with headquarter in New York, New York. The Company is an intra-urban transportation company that seeks to help urban areas reduce their dependence on individually owned cars by offering affordable, accessible and sustainable forms of personal transportation, specifically addressing first and last mile transport. Beginning in 2020, the Company increased its services offered to customers by including monthly subscriptions for accessing its network of electric vehicles. On April 1, 2021, the Company, through the acquisition of MiMoto Smart Mobility S.r.l, added electric mopeds on its sharing services offer (See Note 3. MiMoto Smart Mobility S.r.l. – Acquisition).
Founded on a proprietary technology platform, the Company offers a sharing economy for electric scooters bikes and mopeds. Through its App, Helbiz offers an intra-urban transportation solution that allows users to instantly rent electric vehicles directly from the Helbiz mobile application. The Company currently has a strategic footprint in growing markets with offices in New York, Milan, Belgrade and Singapore, with additional operational teams around the world. The Company currently has electric vehicles operating in the United States and Europe.
During 2021, the Company decided to enter into a new business line: the acquisition, commercialization and distribution of contents including live sport events. The Company developed a new app, Helbiz Live, separated from the micro-mobility platform. Starting from August 2021, the Company will broadcast the Italian Serie B Soccer League in the United States, Italy and Serbia.
During 2021, the Company decided to expand its offering to final customers, through its wholly-owned Italian subsidiary, Helbiz Kitchen Italia S.r.l. In July 2021, the Company launched a delivery-only “ghost kitchen” restaurant concept that specializes in preparing healthy-inspired, high-quality, fresh, made-to-order meals, in Milan. The service is in an early-stage phase, and it is available through the micro-mobility platform.
Business Combination and Organization
On August 12, 2021, Helbiz consummated a business combination, by and among GreenVision Acquisition Corp. (“GRNV”) and its subsidiary, Helbiz Holdings Inc (name of Helbiz, Inc. as private Company, before August 12, 2021) and Salvatore Palella (as representative of the shareholders of Helbiz Holdings Inc.). On the Closing Date, GRNV changed its name to Helbiz, Inc. as the name of the entity surviving the business combination.
In connection with the execution of the business combination, GRNV entered into subscription agreements with multiple investors for an aggregate of 2,650,000 GRNV units at $10.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of one Class A Common Stock and a warrant to purchase one Class A Common Stock exercisable at $11.50, for aggregate gross proceeds of $26.5 million (the “PIPE Investment”), of which proceeds $5 million was in the form of cancelation of Helbiz Holdings Inc. promissory notes. Refer to Note 4. GreenVision Acquisition Corp. – Business Combination, for further information regarding the Net Asset acquired.
As a result of the aforementioned business combination, each Helbiz Holdings share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the business combination date was canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive 4.63 (the “conversion ratio”) GRNV shares of the respective class.

Going Concern
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 may potentially continue to have, an ongoing need to raise additional cash from outside sources to fund its expansion plan and related operations. Successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent 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 and expansion plan 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. Refer to Note 20. Subsequent Events for further details over the funding activities after September 30, 2021.
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.
Impact of COVID-19
Various governments continue to implement, lift, and in some regions reinstate restrictions, including business activities and travel restrictions. These restrictions have caused decreased demand for transportation services as well as decreased earning opportunities for our platform, and disruptions in global supply chains and significant volatility and disruption of financial markets.
COVID-19 has produced uncertainty around the world, and it is not possible to predict the COVID-19 pandemic’s cumulative and ultimate impact on our future business operations, results of operations, financial position, liquidity, and cash flows. The extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial results will depend largely on future developments, including the duration of the spread of the outbreak and any resurgences of the outbreak or variants of the virus, both globally and within the United States, the administration, adoption and efficacy of vaccines in the United States and internationally, the impact on capital, foreign currencies exchange and financial markets, governmental or regulatory orders that impact our business and whether the impacts may result in permanent changes to our end-users’ behavior, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
The Company continues to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has concluded that the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements presented do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
2. Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Basis of Presentation
These accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X pf the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. As such, the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the S-1 IPO Investment Prospectus, filed on October 27, 2021. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
These accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
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 condensed 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.

In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, cash flows and the change in equity for the periods presented.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current interim financials’ presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net loss including stockholders’ deficit or cash flows as previously reported. In detail, the Company reclassified the Security deposit balance of $416 as of December 31, 2020, from Current assets to Other assets and the Intangible assets balance of $167 as of December 31, 2020, from Other assets to Intangible assets, net.
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 determination of common stock and financial instruments at fair value, useful lives of property and equipment, including scooters 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.
Warrant Liability
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and subsequently remeasured at each balance sheet date thereafter.
Acquisitions
The Company accounts for acquisitions of entities or asset groups that qualify as businesses in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). The purchase price of the acquisition is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition dates. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 3. MiMoto Smart Mobility S.r.l. – Acquisition, for further information.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination and is allocated to reporting units expected to benefit from the business combination. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually, in the fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired.
There were no impairment indicators for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Intangible assets, net
Intangible assets are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from one to three years. The Company tests intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that intangible assets might be impaired.
There were no impairment indicators for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The lease assets and liabilities to be recognized are both measured initially based on the present value of the lease payments. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for the Company starting from January 1, 2022. The Company plans to adopt this standard as of the effective date for private companies using the modified retrospective approach of all leases entered into before the effective date. While the Company is currently reviewing its lease portfolio and evaluating and interpreting the requirements under the new guidance, including available accounting policy elections, it expects that its non-cancellable operating lease commitments will be subject to the new guidance and recognized as right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this accounting standard on its shared vehicles revenues and rental leases.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating the requirement to separate embedded conversion features from the host contract when the conversion features are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. By removing the separation model, a convertible debt instrument will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. This new standard also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for contracts to qualify for equity classification and simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculations by requiring that an entity use the if-converted method and that the effect of potential share settlement be included in diluted earnings per share calculations. This new standard will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options, (“ASU 2021-04”) which clarifies the accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. Specifically, ASU 2021-04 requires the issuer to treat a modification of an equity-classified warrant as an exchange of the original warrant. The difference between the fair value of the modified warrant and the fair value of the warrant immediately before modification is then recognized as an issuance cost or discount of the related transaction. ASU 2021-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2021-04 should be applied prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring after the effective date. Either the full or modified retrospective adoption method is allowed. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-8, “Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”, creating an exception to the recognition and measurement principles in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The amendments require an acquirer to use the guidance in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, rather than using fair value, when recognizing and measuring contract assets and contract liabilities related to customer contracts assumed in a business combination. In addition, the amendments clarify that all contracts requiring the recognition of assets and liabilities in accordance with the guidance in ASC 606, such as contract liabilities derived from the sale of nonfinancial assets within the scope of ASC 610-20, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, fall within the scope of the amended guidance in ASC 805. This new standard will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. MiMoto Smart Mobility S.r.l. – Acquisition
On April 1, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interest of MiMoto Smart Mobility S.r.l. (“MiMoto”), a dockless e-moped sharing private company based in Milan, Italy. The acquisition of MiMoto has been accounted for as a business combination. The purchase price of $12,544 (paid in 1,057,740 shares of the Company’s common stock assuming a retroactive application of the conversion ratio, and $2,155 in cash ).
The fair value of the Company’s Common Stocks issued to MiMoto shareholders have been estimated assuming a “Public Company scenario”. The Company assigned a 100% probability to the mentioned scenario, supported by the issuance of a Proxy Statement to the SEC by GreenVision, a NASDAQ listed entity. The Company valued the estimated equity value at listing date using a discount rate, derived from the capital asset pricing model (“CAPM”). On April 1, 2021, the discount rate applied was 7.4% and the equity value estimate was driven from the trading price of GreenVision stock and expected conversion ratio with Helbiz common shares. Fair value measurements are highly sensitive to changes in these inputs; significant changes in these inputs would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value.
The MiMoto purchase price has been allocated as follows: $1,870 to government relationship, $887 to customer relationship, $664 to assets acquired and $1,848 to liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value on the acquisition date, and the excess of $10,971 of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the expected synergies and monetization opportunities arising from the acquisition, including the ability to obtain further licenses in the electric sharing environment and gain efficiencies with the use of MiMoto’s know-how, technology and existing processes. Government relationships and Customer relationships accounted as Intangible Assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life, 3 years. Government relationships represent the operating e-mopeds sharing agreements with municipalities, entered by MiMoto in previous years. Customer relationships represent the customer based owned by MiMoto through its platform.
Amounts of assets and liabilities recognized as of the acquisition date are provisional and subject to change within the measurement period as the fair value assessments are finalized.
Acquisition costs were immaterial and are included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The following table summarizes the allocation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Closing Date, April 1, 2021.
The results of operations for the acquired business have been included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the period after the Company's acquisition of MiMoto: April 1, 2021.

The pro forma adjustments reflect the transaction accounting adjustments, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. No autonomous entity adjustments have been identified and recorded as pro forma adjustments. Additionally, the pro forma adjustments do not reflect management’s adjustments for potential synergies and dis-synergies. The pro forma combined financial statements do not necessarily reflect what the combined results of operations would have been had the acquisition occurred on the dates indicated. In detail, the pro forma adjustments are mainly related to the amortization of Government and Customer relationships and alignment of MiMoto accounting policies to the Company’s accounting policies. They also may not be useful in predicting the future results of operations of the combined company. The actual results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.
4. GreeVision Acquisition Corp. – Business combination
On August 12, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the business combination between Helbiz and GRNV, and the PIPE Investment were closed. The business combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with ASC 805-10-55-12. Based on the analysis performed GRNV is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was based primarily on Helbiz Holdings having the ability to appoint a majority of the initial Board of the combined entity, Helbiz Holdings's senior management comprising the majority of the senior management of the combined company, and the ongoing operations of Helbiz Holdings comprising the ongoing operations of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the business combination was treated as the equivalent of Helbiz issuing shares for the net assets of GRNV, accompanied by a recapitalization.

Convertible Notes
On October 12, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with YA II, Ltd. (the “Note holder”), pursuant to the terms of the SPA, the Company issued to the Note holder the followings: (i) 150,000 shares of Class A common stock as a commitment fee, (ii) a first convertible note in the principal amount of $15 million, (iii) 1,000,000 Warrants to buy 1,000,000 Class A common shares with an exercise price of $20.00 per share, (iv) a second convertible in the principal amount of $10 million, issued on October 27, 2021, and (v) a third convertible note in the principal amount of $5 million, issued on November 12, 2021.

Each of the three convertible note matures on the one-year anniversary date of the issuance of such convertible note and bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum. In case of an event of default under the convertible notes, the interest rate increases to 15% per annum.
Additionally, the Company is required to pay a redemption premium in two circumstances: (i) if Helbiz redeems the convertible notes prior to maturity, the Company must pay a redemption fee equal to 10% of the principal amount being redeemed thereafter. Alternatively, the Company is required to start making monthly payments if 90 days after the issuance of a Note the daily volume-weighted average is less than $10.00 for ten trading days during a period of 15 consecutive trading days (the “Triggering Date”). Each monthly payment shall be in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount outstanding as of the Triggering Date divided by the number of such monthly payments until maturity, (ii) a redemption premium of 10% of such principal amount and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest hereunder as of each payment date. Under certain circumstances, such payments after a Triggering Date may no longer be required. The maximum value of the redemption premium is $3,000,000.

The following discussion refers to the financial results of Helbiz, Inc., for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2020. For purposes of this following discussion the terms “we”, ‘our” or “us” or “the Company” and similar references refers to Helbiz and its affiliates. Except for per share data and as otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts set out herein are in thousands.
Overview
Helbiz, Inc. (and with its subsidiaries, where applicable, “Helbiz” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in October 2015 with headquarter in New York, New York. We are an intra-urban transportation company that seeks to help urban areas reduce their dependence on individually owned cars by offering affordable, accessible and sustainable forms of personal transportation, specifically addressing first and last mile transport.
Founded on a proprietary technology platform, we offer a sharing economy that allows users to instantly rent electric vehicles directly from our mobile application. We currently have a strategic footprint in growing markets with offices in New York, Milan, Belgrade and Singapore, with additional operational teams around the world. We currently have electric vehicles operating in the United States and Europe.
During 2021, we decided to enter into a new business line: the acquisition and distribution of contents including live sport events. We developed a new app, Helbiz Live, which is a separate app from the micro-mobility platform. Starting from August 2021, we have broadcasted the Italian Serie B Soccer League in the United States, Italy and Serbia as well as other contents.
During 2021, we decided to expand our product offering, through our wholly-owned Italian subsidiary, Helbiz Kitchen Italia S.r.l. In July 2021, we launched a delivery-only “ghost kitchen” restaurant concept that specializes in preparing healthy-inspired, high-quality, fresh, made-to-order meals, in Milan. The service is fully integrated in the micro-mobility platform.
Business Combination and Organization
On August 12, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), we consummated a business combination as contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated February 8, 2021, by and among GreenVision Acquisition Corp. (“GRNV”), GreenVision Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of GRNV (“Merger Sub”), Helbiz Holdings Inc. (known as Helbiz, Inc. prior August 12, 2021) and Salvatore Palella (as representative of the shareholders of Helbiz Holdings Inc.). The Merger Agreement provided for the acquisition of Helbiz Holdings Inc. by GRNV pursuant to the merger of Merger Sub with and into Helbiz Holdings Inc. (the “Business Combination”), with Helbiz Holdings Inc. continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of GRNV. On the Closing Date, and in connection with the closing of the Merger Agreement, GRNV changed its name to Helbiz, Inc.
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, GRNV entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) and registration rights agreements (the “PIPE Registration Rights Agreements”), with certain institutional and accredited investors some of whom transferred their obligations to additional institutional and accredited investors that entered into additional Subscription Agreements (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”). The PIPE Investors collectively subscribed for an aggregate 2,650,000 GRNV units at $10.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of Class A Common Stock and a warrant to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock exercisable at $11.50, for aggregate gross proceeds of $26.5 million (the “PIPE Investment”), of which $5 million was in the form of cancelation of Helbiz Holdings Inc. promissory notes. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the PIPE Investment was to be for a minimum of $30 million, but the parties to the Merger Agreement waived that closing condition. The PIPE Investment was consummated substantially concurrently with the Closing.

On the Closing Date, each Helbiz Holdings share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the business combination date was canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive 4.63 (the “conversion ratio”) GRNV shares of the respective class. Each outstanding Helbiz Holdings option was assumed by GRNV and automatically converted into an option to purchase such number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (i) 4.63 and (ii) the option holder’s Helbiz Holdings options. Based on the conversion ratio, GRNV exchanged all of the 5,285,887 outstanding Helbiz Holdings shares for (i) 10,271,750 shares of GRNV’s Class A Common Stock and 14,225,898 shares of GRNV’s Class B Common Stock, each based on a price of $10.00 per share. Additionally, GRNV assumed all the 1,598,800 Helbiz Holdings outstanding options converted into 7,409,701 options to acquire shares of GRNV’s Class A Common Stock.
MiMoto Smart Mobility S.r.l. – Acquisition
On April 1, 2021, we acquired 100% of the equity interest of MiMoto Smart Mobility S.r.l. (“MiMoto”), a dockless e-moped sharing private company based in Milan, Italy. MiMoto represents an expansion in the mobility business; in detail, it allows us to enter into the e-mopeds sharing business. The acquisition of MiMoto has been accounted for as a business combination. The purchase price of $12,544 (paid in 1,057,740 shares of our common stock assuming a retroactive application of the conversion ratio, and $2,155 in cash).
The MiMoto purchase price has been preliminary allocated as follows: $1,870 to government relationship, $887 to customer relationship, $664 to assets acquired and $1,848 to liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value on the acquisition date, and the excess of $10,971 of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the expected synergies and monetization opportunities arising from the acquisition, including the ability to obtain further licenses in the electric sharing environment and gain efficiencies with the use of MiMoto’s know-how, technology and existing processes. Government relationships and Customer relationships accounted as Intangible Assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life, 3 years. Government relationships represent the operating e-mopeds sharing agreements with municipalities, entered by MiMoto in previous years. Customer relationships represent the customer based owned by MiMoto through its platform.

Mobility - Key Financial Measures and Indicators
Quarterly Active Platform Users. We define QAPUs as the number of unique users who completed a ride on our platform at least once in three months. While a unique user can use multiple product offerings on our platform in a given quarter, that unique user is counted as only one QAPU. We use QAPUs to assess the adoption of our platform and frequency of transactions, which are key factors in our penetration of the markets in which we operate.
Trips. We define Trips as the number of completed rides in a given period. To further clarify, a single-use Helbiz ride is recognized as a unique “Trip” upon completion of each ride. We believe that Trips is a useful metric to measure the scale and usage of our platform.
Active Markets. We track the number of active markets (cities) that we operate in. We believe that increasing the markets for expansion is fundamental to the success of our core business for the foreseeable future.

Impact of COVID-19 to our Business.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly changed market and economic conditions globally, impacting riders, consumers, and business partners, as well as our business, results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. Various governmental restrictions, including declaration of a federal National Emergency, multiple cities’ and states’ declarations of states of emergency, school and business closings, quarantines, restrictions on travel, limitations on social or public gatherings, and other measures have, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on our business and operations, including, for example, by reducing the global demand for micro-mobility rides. Furthermore, we are experiencing and expect to continue to experience a supply-chain constraints.
We continue to prioritize the health and safety of our employees and customers. We are focusing on navigating the challenges presented by COVID-19 by managing our cash flow in order to meet our short-term liquidity needs. We have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by launching new services such as media contents and delivery of foods. As vaccination rates increase in the United States and Europe, we are observing that governmental authorities are requesting more often sharing micromobility services which guarantee social distancing.
While we continue to assess the impact of COVID-19 outbreak, we are unable to accurately predict the full impact of COVID-19 on our business, results of operations, financial position, and cash flow due to numerous uncertainties.

Impact of the launch of new business lines
Helbiz Live
In August 2021, we launched Helbiz Live, our streaming media content offering, in conjunction with the beginning of the 2021-2022 season of the Italian Serie B soccer league.
In connection with the launch of Helbiz Live, we entered in the following agreements:
| • | Helbiz Media acquired the rights to broadcast, on a non-exclusive basis in Italy, approximately 390 Serie B regular season games for the next three seasons at a cost of €12 million (approximately $14.4 million) per season. On September 30, 2021 we paid the first two tranches equaling €3.2 million (approximately $3.7 million). |
| • | Helbiz Media has been appointed by the League Serie B as the exclusive distributor of the Series B international media rights and as a result of such agreement, Helbiz Media will commercialize such international rights on behalf of the League Series B with a minimum commitment of €2.5 million per season (approximately $3 million) that Helbiz Media will guarantee to the League Series B. As of September 30, 2021, we paid the first two tranches totaling €470 thousands (approximately $550 thousands). This results in an additional cost to Helbiz of at least €2.5 million annually. However, Helbiz will retain sales revenues up to the first €2.5 million with sales revenues exceeding the €2.5 million threshold subject to a revenue sharing arrangement between Helbiz Media and League Series B. |
| • | Helbiz Media has signed an agreement with a third-party for advisory services, operational support for set-up, content integration and distribution support for the Serie B contents. The operational costs for the services will be between $1.4 million and $2.2 million per season. |
| • | Helbiz Media hired 8 people to support this business line. |
| • | Helbiz Media invested and will continue to invest up to $1.5 million in promotional and marketing activities, per season, but has no obligation to do so. |

Total revenue increased by $2,689, or 134%, from $2,013 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, to $4,702 for the three months ended on September 30, 2021. The same trend is observable for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, as total revenue increased by $5,824, or 203%, from $2,876 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, to $8,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to the core business – mobility – and the related main caption: “pay per ride revenue”. In detail, the increase followed our growth in the micro-mobility sharing market in Italy and the United States. Additionally, the revenue growth benefits from the launch of the new business line: Helbiz Live.
Mobility revenues

Cost of Revenue increased by $7,609 or 340%, from $2,235 for the three months September 30, 2020, to $9,844 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. A similar increase can be observed between the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2021, as Cost of Revenue increased by $15,615, or 325%. Such increase was primarily due to a larger fleet size and the opening of several new cities across Europe and the United States, the launch of which implied significant operative investments, as well as the increase of fleet size in Cities we were already operating. Additionally, the increase observable for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020, is partially explained by the launch of Helbiz Live, which contributed to Cost of revenue for $2,732.
Depreciation, Amortization and write-off expenses, one of the main drivers of Cost of Revenue, increased by $792, or 104%, from $761 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, to $1,553 for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Interest expenses
Interest expenses increased by $152, or 37%, from $410 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, to $562 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and $551, or 51%, from $1,076 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, to $1,627 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Such increase is mainly driven by the new financial liabilities we entered into to support the expansion of the mobility and Live businesses.
Fair value adjustments
Fair value adjustment shows an increase of $7,385, increased by 1,131% from $653 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, to $8,038 for the three months ended September 31, 2021. The negative impact is mainly driven by the events described below:
• In March 2021, we recorded a significant loss for an increase of the fair value of the 2020 Warrants Purchase Agreement, converted into common shares as of March 26, 2021.
• On September 21, 2021, I-bankers exercised on a cashless basis the 287,500 Private Warrants issued by GRNV, and we issued 165,289 Class A Common Shares. The exercise of the aforementioned warrants generated a loss amounted to $4,537 which represents the fair value adjustment of the warrants from August 12, 2021, (Business combination closing date) to September 21, 2021.
• $5,330 loss are related to the fair value adjustment of the 2,100,000 GRNV Sponsor Private Warrants for the period from August 12, 2021, (Business combination closing date) to September 30, 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
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 its operations and expand its 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 September 30, 2021, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $7,943 thousands, excluding restricted cash of $110 thousands. Cash and cash equivalents consisted of bank deposits in U.S. Dollar and Euro.
We collect the fees from riders using a third-party processing payment provider. In detail, we collect the fees between 2 to 5 days after the completion of the ride. We also collect charges and fees from partners for specific advertising or co-branding activities, within 30 days from the events. Additionally, Helbiz Live media operators pay Helbiz Live within 60 days for the international audiovisual rights.
During the last quarter of 2020, certain European countries, including Italy, have experienced a resurgence of COVID-19 cases and reimposed restrictions. These rules and impacts are ongoing and have continued into the first three months 2021. We continue to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We plan to continue to fund our operations and expansion plan, including the new business lines 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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of our condensed 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.
While our significant accounting policies are described in greater detail in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates” to our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates” to our condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2021 included elsewhere in this prospectus, we believe that the following accounting policies are those most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consist of equipment, computers and software, furniture and fixtures, and rental scooters. Property and equipment are 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 property and 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:
| Equipment | 5 years | |||
| Computers and Software | 3 years | |||
| Furniture and fixtures | 7 years | |||
| Rental e-bikes | 2 years | |||
| Rental e-scooters | 1-1.5 years |
Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the term of the lease, or the useful life of the assets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
We determine the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy established in the accounting standards. The hierarchy describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
| Level 1 — | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. | |||
| Level 2 — | Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. | |||
| Level 3 — | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
|
42
|
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, warrants, convertible debts, equity compensation for employees, derivatives, promissory notes, accounts receivable and accounts payable. Management believes that the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debts approximate the fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. Warrants and derivatives are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as they are valued using significant unobservable inputs or data in inactive markets. We use a third-party valuation specialist to assist management in its determination of the fair value of its Level 3. These fair value measurements are highly sensitive to changes in these significant unobservable inputs and significant changes in these inputs would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value.
Emerging Growth Company
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected to use such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and we have different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have, during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements but Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The lease assets and liabilities to be recognized are both measured initially based on the present value of the lease payments. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for us starting from January 1, 2022. We plan to adopt this standard as of the effective date for private companies using the modified retrospective approach of all leases entered into before the effective date. While we are currently reviewing our lease portfolio and evaluating and interpreting the requirements under the new guidance, including available accounting policy elections, we expect that our non-cancellable operating lease commitments will be subject to the new guidance and recognized as right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We are currently assessing the impact of this accounting standard on our shared vehicles revenues.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating the requirement to separate embedded conversion features from the host contract when the conversion features are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. By removing the separation model, a convertible debt instrument will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. This new standard also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for contracts to qualify for equity classification and simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculations by requiring that an entity use the if-converted method and that the effect of potential share settlement be included in diluted earnings per share calculations. This new standard will be effective for us for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options, (“ASU 2021-04”) which clarifies the accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. Specifically, ASU 2021-04 requires the issuer to treat a modification of an equity-classified warrant as an exchange of the original warrant. The difference between the fair value of the modified warrant and the fair value of the warrant immediately before modification is then recognized as an issuance cost or discount of the related transaction. ASU 2021-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2021-04 should be applied prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring after the effective date. Either the full or modified retrospective adoption method is allowed. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-8, “Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”, creating an exception to the recognition and measurement principles in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The amendments require an acquirer to use the guidance in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, rather than using fair value, when recognizing and measuring contract assets and contract liabilities related to customer contracts assumed in a business combination. In addition, the amendments clarify that all contracts requiring the recognition of assets and liabilities in accordance with the guidance in ASC 606, such as contract liabilities derived from the sale of nonfinancial assets within the scope of ASC 610-20, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, fall within the scope of the amended guidance in ASC 805. This new standard will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Not applicable.
Item 4. 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 September 30, 2021. Based on such evaluation, due to the 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 a material weakness 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 weakness in our internal control over financial reporting:
| · | We did not maintain a properly designed control environment that identified key control risk areas with an appropriate level of precision in order to conclude on the operating effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. |
| · | The Company does not have enough personal in management with the requisite knowledge of financial reporting |
| · | The Company does not have the appropriate level of personnel and therefore has segregation of duties due to lack of personnel |
| · | There are insufficiently designed and operating controls around expenditures by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer on behalf of the Company or expended by the Company on behalf of the CEO |
Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, management believes that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q 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
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, we expect to make changes to our internal control over financial reporting in the future to remediate the material weakness identified above.
