PROSPECTUS - SUBJECT TO COMPLETION Dated
February 14, 2018 54,173,168
Shares of Common Stock This prospectus relates to the resale by the
selling stockholders of MassRoots, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) identified in this prospectus of up
to 54,173,168 shares of our common stock, par value par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), including 29,743,168
outstanding shares of Common Stock and 24,430,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants (collectively,
the “Resale Shares”). All of the Resale Shares were initially purchased from the Company in private placement transactions
and are being offered for resale by the selling stockholders. For a description of the transactions pursuant to which this resale
registration statement relates, please see “Recent Unregistered Financings.”
The
Resale Shares may be sold by the selling stockholders to or through underwriters or dealers, directly to purchasers or through
agents designated from time to time. For additional information regarding the methods of sale you should refer to the section
entitled “Plan of Distribution” in this Prospectus. The
prices at which the selling stockholders may sell the Resale Shares will be determined by the prevailing market price for shares

Shares by the selling stockholders; provided, however, we will receive the proceeds from any cash exercise of warrants. We
will bear all costs relating to the registration of the Resale Shares, other than any selling stockholders legal or accounting
costs or commissions. Our Common Stock is presently quoted on
the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets Group, Inc. (“OTCQB”) under the symbol “MSRT.” The closing price of our
Common Stock on February 13, 2018, as reported by OTCQB, was $0.40 per share. Investing in our Common Stock involves a
high degree of risk. See the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6 of this prospectus and elsewhere in
this prospectus for a discussion of information that should be considered in connection with an investment in our Common Stock. We may amend or supplement this prospectus
from time to time by filing amendments or supplements as required. You should read the entire prospectus and any amendments or
supplements carefully before you make your investment decision. We qualify as an “emerging growth
company” as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”). For more information, see the sub-section

SUMMARY The
following summary is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read together with, the more detailed information and financial
statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this prospectus and incorporated by reference. Before you decide to
invest in our securities, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the risk factors and the financial statements
and related notes included in this prospectus and incorporated by reference. Unless
the context indicates or otherwise requires, the “Company,” “we,” “us,”, “our”
“MassRoots” of the “Registrant” refer to MassRoots, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries. Unless
otherwise indicated, all share and per share information relating to our Common Stock in this prospectus has been adjusted to
reflect the Exchange which occurred during our Reorganization. See “The Reorganization And Exchange” for additional
discussion of the Exchange and Reorganization. Overview MassRoots
was formed in April 2013 as a technology platform for the cannabis industry. Powered by more than one million registered users,
MassRoots enables consumers to rate cannabis products and strains based on their efficacy (i.e., effectiveness for treating ailments
such as back-pain or epilepsy) and then presents this information in easy-to-use formats for consumers to make educated purchasing
decisions at their local dispensary. Businesses are able to leverage MassRoots by strategically advertising to consumers based
on their preferences and tendencies. “Registered
users” (“Users”) is defined as every user who currently has an account with MassRoots. It does not include users
who have deleted their account nor does it reflect active usage over any set period of time. User
Growth and Product Distribution Channels The
MassRoots app is distributed free-of-charge through the Apple App Store, the Google Play Marketplace and the Amazon App Store.
The MassRoots network is also accessible through desktop and mobile web browsers by navigating to www.MassRoots.com. Our business
and adverting portal can be accessed at https://www.massroots.com/dispensaries. Through this portal, companies can edit their
profiles, distribute information to Users and view analytics such as impressions, views and clicks. Competitors We
compete with other cannabis information platforms such as WeedMaps and Leafly, which provide information with respect to dispensary
locations, strain information, and news relating to the cannabis industry. We believe our primary competitive advantage is the
social functionality of our platform which enables users to build an online personality and preferences and follow other Users
with similar interests compared to other platforms such as WeedMaps and Leafly which utilize anonymous and non-personalized profiles. Network
effects may have an impact on our market share unlike some others companies which do not have positive network effects. For example,
Google+ failed to obtain a dominant market share in desktop-based social networking because it was introduced after Facebook already
dominated the market. Similarly, management believes that even if additional competitors were to emerge, Users would still utilize
our services because we have a large and diverse community constantly providing up-to-date reviews and information and our platform
provides customization of User profiles. Blockchain
Technology In December 2017, we formed MassRoots Blockchain
Technologies, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MassRoots, to explore how blockchain technology may be utilized for identity
management within the MassRoots network, elimination of intermediaries, smart contracts, seed-to-sale traceability and corporate
governance.
Recent
Unregistered Financings January
2018 Private Placement From
January 19 to January 27, 2018, the Company entered into separate subscription agreements with certain accredited investors pursuant
to which it sold an aggregate of $2,740,000 of shares of Common Stock at $0.20 per share together with five-year warrants to purchase
shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to 100% of the number of shares issued (the “January 2018 Private Placement”). The warrants are exercisable, at any time
on or after the initial issuance date, at a price of $0.40 per share, subject to adjustment, and expire five years from the date
of issuance. The holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants on a cashless basis until such time that a registration statement
covering the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”). The Company is prohibited from effecting an exercise of any warrant to the extent that, as a result of
any such exercise, the holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such warrant. December
2017 Private Placement From
December 15 to December 29, 2017, the Company entered into separate subscription agreements with certain accredited investors
pursuant to which it sold an aggregate of $2,050,000 of shares of Common Stock at $0.20 per share together with five-year warrants
to purchase shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to 100% of the number of shares issued (the “December 2017 Private
Placement”). The
warrants are exercisable, at any time on or after the initial issuance date, at a price of $0.40 per share, subject to adjustment,
and expire five years from the date of issuance. The holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants on a cashless basis until
such time that a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants has been declared effective
by the SEC. The Company is prohibited from effecting an exercise of any warrant to the extent that, as a result of any such exercise,
the holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving
effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such warrant. August
2017 Private Placement The
August Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price per share equal to the lower of (i) $0.75
and (ii) a 15% discount to the price at which the Company next conducts an offering after the issuance date of the August Notes;
provided, however, if any part of the principal amount of the August Notes remains unpaid as of the maturity date of such
notes, the conversion price shall equal 65% of the average of the three trading days with the lowest daily weighted average prices
of the Company’s Common Stock occurring during the fifteen days prior to the maturity date of the August Notes. In January
2018, the Company paid the holders of the notes an aggregate of $510,937.50 and , issued the holders thereof an aggregate of 3,742,648
shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company believes that it has completed all of its obligations under the Notes
and all related agreements. The warrants issued in the August 2017 Private
Placement are exercisable, at any time on or after the initial issuance date, at a price of $0.50 per share, subject to adjustment,
and expire five years from the date of issuance. The holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants on a cashless basis until
such time that a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants has been declared effective
by the SEC. The Company is prohibited from effecting an exercise of any of the warrants to the extent that, as a result of any
such exercise, the holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such warrant. July
2017 Private Placement In
July 2017, the Company entered into separate subscription agreements with certain accredited investors pursuant to which it sold
an aggregate of $1,197,500 shares of Common Stock at $0.50 per share together with five-year warrants to purchase shares of Common
Stock in an amount equal to 100% of the number of shares issued (the “July 2017 Private Placement”). The closing of
the transaction occurred on July 21, 2017 Pursuant to the terms of the subscription
agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC pursuant to which it is required register for resale
the shares of Common Stock sold in the offering together with the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants issued in the
offering. The warrants issued in the July 2017 Private
Placement are exercisable, at any time on or after the initial issuance date, at a price of $0.65 per share, subject to adjustment,
and expire five years from the date of issuance. The holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants on a cashless basis until
such time that a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants has been declared effective
by the SEC. In addition, the warrants are subject to a price adjustment in the event the Company conducts an equity offering at
a price lower than the exercise price of the warrants then in effect (“Price Protection”). The Price Protection shall
remain in effect until the registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants has been declared
effective by the SEC and, subsequent to effectiveness of such registration statement, the market for the Common Stock maintains
a volume weighted average price of at least $0.75 per share for five consecutive trading days (the “Price Protection Conditions”).
Until such time that the Price Protection Conditions are met, in the event the Company sells or grants any option to, or sells
or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues any Common Stock or equivalents (other than pursuant to certain
exempt issuances) at an effective price per share less than the exercise price then in effect, then simultaneously with the consummation
of each such issuance, the exercise price of the warrants shall be reduced to equal such lower price. From September 2017 until January 2018, the
Company entered into Simple Agreement for Future Tokens (the “Original SAFT Agreements”) with ten investors pursuant
to which the Company received an aggregate of $942,500. On February 13, 2018, the Company entered into Amended and Restated Simple
Agreement for Future Tokens (the “SAFT Agreements”) with the investors which amended the terms of the Original SAFT
Agreements. Pursuant to the SAFT Agreements, the investors will receive tokens in MassRoots Blockchain Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“MassRoots Blockchain”). The tokens issuable to the investors
upon the public sale of tokens of MassRoots Blockchain (the “Qualifying Token Sale”). Investors are entitled receive
such number of tokens equal to the amount invested by the investor divided by the Discount Price. “Discount Price”
means the price per token sold in the Qualifying Token Sale divided by the Discount Rate. “Discount Rate” means 50%.
The SAFT Agreements terminate upon either (i) the issuance of the tokens to the investors or (ii) the payment, or setting aside
for payment, of amounts due the investor upon the occurrence of a Dissolution Event. “Dissolution Event” means (i)
a voluntary termination of operations of the Company, (ii) a general assignment for the benefit of the Company’s creditors
or (iii) any other liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary. Company
Information We
are a Delaware corporation. Our address is 2420 17th Street, Office 3118, Denver, Colorado 80202, our telephone number
is (833) 467-6687 and our website is www.MassRoots.com. The information on our website or mobile apps is not a part of this prospectus. Emerging
Growth Company Status We
are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from
various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies. Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act provides that
an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for complying with new or revised accounting standards.
In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards
would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably opted out of the extended transition period for complying with
new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act. We
could remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first
fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues are $1.07 billion, as adjusted, or more, (ii) the date that we become a “large
accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),
which would occur if the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business
day of our most recently completed fiscal quarter, and (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible
debt during the preceding three-year period.
THE
OFFERING This
prospectus relates to the resale from time to time by the selling stockholders identified herein of up to an aggregate of 54,173,168
shares of our Common Stock, consisting of: Risk
factors: The
number of shares of Common Stock to be outstanding immediately after this offering is based on 151,099,833 shares of Common
Stock outstanding as of February 12, 2018 and excludes: RISK
FACTORS An
investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. This prospectus contains the risks applicable to an investment in
our securities. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the specific factors
discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus, together with all of the other information incorporated
by reference in this prospectus. You should also consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed and any updates described
in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, all of which are incorporated herein by reference,
and may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future and any prospectus
supplement related to a particular offering. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional
risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations. The occurrence
of any of these known or unknown risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities. Risks
Relating to Our Business and Industry We
have a limited history upon which an evaluation of our prospects and future performance can be made and have no history of profitable
operations. We
were incorporated in April 2013 and have a limited operating history and our business is subject to all of the risks inherent
in the establishment of a new business enterprise. Our likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses,
difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with development and expansion of a new business enterprise.
We may sustain losses in the future as we implement our business plan. There can be no assurance that we will operate profitably. Since
we have a limited operating history, it is difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business. Our
limited operating history makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business or prospective operations. As an
early stage company, we are subject to all the risks inherent in the initial organization, financing, expenditures, complications
and delays inherent in a new business. Investors should evaluate an investment in us in light of the uncertainties encountered
by developing companies in a competitive and evolving environment. Our business is dependent upon the implementation of our business
plan. We may not be successful in implementing such plan and cannot guarantee that, if implemented, we will ultimately be able
to attain profitability. We
will need to obtain additional financing to fund our operations. We
will need additional capital in the future to continue to execute our business plan. Therefore, we will be dependent upon additional
capital in the form of either debt or equity to continue our operations. At the present time, we do not have arrangements to raise
all of the needed additional capital, and we will need to identify potential investors and negotiate appropriate arrangements
with them. We may not be able to arrange enough investment within the time the investment is required or that if it is arranged,
that it will be on favorable terms. If we cannot obtain the needed capital, we may not be able to become profitable and may have
to curtail or cease our operations. Cannabis
remains illegal under Federal law. Despite the development of a legal cannabis
industry under the laws of certain states, these state laws legalizing medical and adult cannabis use are in conflict with the
Federal Controlled Substances Act, which classifies cannabis as a Schedule I controlled substance and makes cannabis use and possession
illegal on a national level. The United States Supreme Court has ruled that the Federal government has the right to regulate and
criminalize cannabis, even for medical purposes, and thus Federal law criminalizing the use of cannabis preempts state laws that
legalize its use. Although the prior administration determined that it was not an efficient use of resources to direct Federal
law enforcement agencies to prosecute those lawfully abiding by state laws allowing the use and distribution of medical and recreational
cannabis, on January 4, 2018, the current administration issued the Sessions Memo announcing a return to the rule of law and the
rescission of previous guidance documents. The Sessions Memo rescinds the Cole Memo (both described in more detail in “Description
of Business – Cannabis Market Growth and Current Trends”) which was adopted by the Obama administration as a policy
of non-interference with marijuana-friendly state laws. The Sessions Memo shifts federal policy from a hands-off approach adopted
by the Obama administration to permitting federal prosecutors across the country to decide how to prioritize resources to regulate
marijuana possession, distribution and cultivation in states where marijuana use is legal. There can be no assurance that federal
prosecutors will not prosecute and dedicate resources to regulate marijuana possession, distribution and cultivation in states
where marijuana use is legal which may cause states to reconsider their legalization of marijuana which would have a detrimental
effect on the marijuana industry. Any such change in state laws based upon the Sessions Memo and the Federal government’s
enforcement of Federal laws could cause significant financial damage to us and our stockholders. As
the possession and use of cannabis is illegal under the Federal Controlled Substances Act, we may be deemed to be aiding and abetting
illegal activities through the services and data that we provide to government regulators, dispensaries, cultivators and consumers.
As a result, we may be subject to enforcement actions by law enforcement authorities, which would materially and adversely affect
our business. Under
Federal law, and more specifically the Federal Controlled Substances Act, the possession, use, cultivation, and transfer of cannabis
is illegal. Our business provides services to customers that are engaged in the business of possession, use, cultivation, and/or
transfer of cannabis. As a result, law enforcement authorities, in their attempt to regulate the illegal use of cannabis, may
seek to bring an action or actions against us, including, but not limited, to a claim of aiding and abetting another’s criminal
activities. The Federal aiding and abetting statute provides that anyone who “commits an offense against the United States
or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal.” 18 U.S.C. §2(a).
As a result of such an action, we may be forced to cease operations and our investors could lose their entire investment. Such
an action would have a material negative effect on our business and operations. Federal
enforcement practices could change with respect to services provided to participants in the cannabis industry, which could adversely
impact us. If the Federal government were to expend its resources on enforcement actions against service providers in the cannabis
industry under guidance provided by the Sessions Memo, such actions could have a material adverse effect on our operations, our
customers, or the sales of our products. It
is possible that due to the recent Sessions Memo our clients may discontinue the use of our services, our potential source of
customers may be reduced and our revenues may decline. Further, additional government disruption in the cannabis industry could
cause potential customers and users to be reluctant to use and advertise our products, which would be detrimental to the Company.
We cannot predict impact of the Sessions Memo at this time nor can we predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations
or applications including the effect of such additional regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated,
could have on our business. Our
business is dependent on state laws pertaining to the cannabis industry. As
of January 31, 2018, 29 states and the District of Columbia allow their citizens to use medical cannabis. Additionally, eight
states—Alaska, California, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon and Washington—have
legalized cannabis for adult use at the state (or district) level. Continued development of the cannabis industry is dependent
upon continued legislative authorization of cannabis at the state level. Any number of factors could slow or halt progress in
this area including, but not limited to, issuance of the Sessions Memo.. While there may be ample public support for legislative
action, numerous factors impact the legislative process. For example, on November 3, 2015, voters in Ohio rejected a ballot
initiative that would have legalized medical and adult use cannabis, while allowing commercial cultivation only at 10 specifically
designated parcels owned by certain private investors. Rather than a rejection of cannabis, the controversial monopolistic structure
of the Ohio initiative may have been the primary grounds for its rejection for many voters. In 2016, the Ohio legislature
passed a bill permitting the use of medical cannabis. Further legalization attempts at the state level that create bad public
policy could slow or stop further development of the cannabis industry. Any one of these or other factors could slow or halt use
of cannabis, which would negatively impact our business. New
platform features or changes to existing platform features could fail to attract new users, retain existing users or generate
revenue. Our
business strategy is dependent on our ability to develop platforms and features to attract new businesses and users, while retaining
existing ones. Staffing changes, changes in user behavior or development of competing platforms may cause users to switch to alternative
platforms or decrease their use of our platform. To date, our compliance platform is only in its beginning stages and has not
gained widespread market adoption. There is no guarantee that companies and dispensaries will use these features and we may fail
to generate revenue. Additionally, any of the following events may cause decreased use of our platform: We
are highly dependent on the services of key executives, the loss of whom could materially harm our business and our strategic
direction. If we lose key management or significant personnel, cannot recruit qualified employees, directors, officers, or other
personnel or experience increases in our compensation costs, our business may materially suffer. We
are highly dependent on our management team, specifically our Chief Executive Officer, Isaac Dietrich. While we have an employment
agreement with Isaac Dietrich, such employment agreement permits Mr. Dietrich to terminate such agreement upon notice. If we lose
key employees, our business may suffer. Furthermore, our future success will also depend in part on the continued service of our
key management personnel and our ability to identify, hire, and retain additional personnel. We do not carry “key-man”
life insurance on the lives of our executive officer, employees or advisors. We experience intense competition for qualified personnel
and may be unable to attract and retain the personnel necessary for the development of our business. Because of this competition,
our compensation costs may increase significantly. We
will need to obtain additional financing to fund our operations. We
will need additional capital in the future to continue to execute our business plan. Therefore, we will be dependent upon additional
capital in the form of either debt or equity to continue our operations. At the present time, we do not have arrangements to raise
all of the needed additional capital, and we will need to identify potential investors and negotiate appropriate arrangements
with them. We may not be able to arrange enough investment within the time the investment is required or that if it is arranged,
that it will be on favorable terms. If we cannot obtain the needed capital, we may not be able to become profitable and may have
to curtail or cease our operations. Additional equity financing, if available, may be dilutive to the holders of our capital stock.
Debt financing may involve significant cash payment obligations, covenants and financial ratios that may restrict our ability
to operate and grow our business. Our
monetization strategy is dependent on many factors outside our control. There
is no guarantee that our efforts to monetize the MassRoots Retail platform will be successful. Furthermore, our competitors may
introduce more advanced technologies that deliver a greater value proposition to cannabis related businesses in the future. For
example, Google, MJ Freeway, LLC and BioTrackTHC, LLC may decide to introduce features similar to ours to their products, significantly
increasing the competitive environment. In addition, dispensaries may not be able to accept credit or bank cards due to banking
regulations, which could significantly increase the cost and time required for us to generate revenue. All these factors individually
or collectively may preclude us from effectively monetizing our business which would have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operation. Changes
in Amazon App Store, Apple App Store or Google Play Store policies could result in our mobile applications being de-listed. In
addition, our third party service providers’ may decline to provide services due to their policies, or cease to provide
services previously provided to us due to a change of policy. On
November 4, 2014, the MassRoots App was removed from Apple’s iOS App Store due to the App Store review team changing
their app enforcement guidelines to prohibit all social cannabis applications. After negotiation with Apple and the addition of
certain restrictions, the MassRoots App returned to the App Store in February 2015. Although Apple reversed its decision and included
our app in the App Store, we cannot provide any assurance that Apple’s policy will not change in the future or that our
application will not once again be removed from the App Store. The
Apple App Store is one of the largest content distribution channels in the world and management believes that it is the only way
to effectively distribute our iOS application to users who own iPhones and iPads. The Apple App Store review team effectively
operates as our iOS App’s regulator; they decide what guidelines iOS apps must operate under and how to enforce such guidelines.
The Apple guidelines related to cannabis-related apps are not published, enforcement of such guidelines is difficult to predict,
and the review and appeal processes are conducted without public oversight. Although we will continue advocating for a more open
and transparent App Store review process that will allow decisions that affect a significant portion of the United States smartphone
owning population to be open to public scrutiny, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts. MassRoots,
along with other cannabis apps, regularly encounter issues with the Google Play Store review team in the normal course of business
due to Google Play Store’s absence of clear guidelines regarding cannabis-related apps. In November 2016, the MassRoots
App was removed from the Google Play Store due to a compliance review. However, on March 21, 2017, Google Play approved
the MassRoots App for distribution to Android devices through the Google Play Store once again. On
December 1, 2016, MassRoots’ Android application received approval from the Amazon App Store for listing, and
is currently available for download on the Amazon App Store. In
addition to challenges we face with respect to compliance with the Amazon App Store, Apple App Store and Google Play Store guidelines,
service providers may refuse to provide services to us even if they previously provided such services due to our status as a cannabis
related company. For example, in January 2016, after building a strong presence on Instagram and having previously used our
Instagram account to grow our user count and highlight posts about our business, our account was suspended without warning by
Instagram. While the account was reinstated on February 26, 2016, we cannot provide any assurance that our Instagram account
will not be suspended in the future and if suspended that our account will be reinstated. Furthermore, we may face similar situations
in the future with our other services providers that may cause disruptions to our business plan, all of which may have a material
adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Government
actions or digital distribution platform restrictions could result in our products and services being unavailable in certain geographic
regions which may harm our future growth. Due
to our connections to the cannabis industry, governments and government agencies could ban or cause our network or apps to become
unavailable in certain regions and jurisdictions. This could greatly impair or prevent us from registering new users in affected
areas and prevent current users from accessing our network. In addition, government action taken against our service providers
or partners could cause our network to become unavailable for extended periods of time. As
discussed herein, as part of our agreement with Apple in connection with our application being returned to the Apple App Store,
we agreed to limit registration of new members within our iOS application to the locations where cannabis is legally permitted
(medicinally or recreationally) at the state level. This restriction prohibits users in several states and countries from accessing
our network. Expansions of such policies by Apple or Google may slow our user registration rate which may have a material adverse
effect on our business and future prospects. Failure
to generate user growth or engagement could greatly harm our business model. Our
business model involves attracting users to our mobile application and linking their MassRoots account with their profile in MassRoots
Retail. There is no guarantee that growth strategies used in the past will continue to bring new users to our network or that
users will agree to link their MassRoots and MassRoots Retail profiles. Changes in relationships with our partners, contractors
and businesses we retain to grow our network may result in significant increases in the cost to acquire new users. In addition,
new users may fail to engage with our network to the same extent current users are engaging with our network resulting in decreased
use of our network. Decreases in the size of our user base and/or decreased engagement on our network would may impair our ability
to generate revenue. Failure
to attract clients could greatly harm our ability to generate revenue. Our
ability to generate revenue is dependent on the continued growth of our platform. If we are unable to continue to grow our network
or bring new clients to our network, our ability to generate revenue would be greatly compromised. There is no guarantee businesses
will want to join our platform or that we will be able to generate revenue from our existing user base. Historically,
we have generated most of our revenue from advertising. The loss of clients or reduction in spending by advertisers may have a
material adverse effect on our business. Historically,
we have generated most of our revenue from third parties advertising on our website. Some of our third party advertisers include
cannabis companies, including regulated cannabis dispensaries, and mainstream brands such as Uber. As is common in the industry,
our advertisers usually do not have long-term advertising commitments with us. It is possible that such advertisers may not continue
to do business with us for several reasons including that they no longer believe that their advertisements on our website will
generate a competitive return relative to other alternatives or in the alternative they may reduce the prices they are willing
to pay to advertise their products and services on our website. Our
revenue could be adversely affected by a number of other factors including, but not limited to: The
occurrence of any of these or other factors could result in decreased traffic to our website which may result in less views of
third party ads. If we are unable to generate traffic to our website and as a result third party advertisers no longer continue
to do business with us, our business, financial conditions and results of operation may be materially affected. User
engagement and growth depends on software and device updates beyond our control. Our
mobile application and websites are currently available on multiple operating systems, including iOS and Android, across multiple
different manufacturers, including Motorola, LG, Apple and Samsung and on thousands of devices. Changes to the device infrastructure
or software updates on such devices could render our platforms and services useless or inoperable and require users to utilize
our website rather than our mobile application which may result in decreased user engagement. Any decrease in user engagement
may devalue our value proposition to third party advertisers who may no longer continue to do business with us which may have
a material adverse effect on business, financial conditions and results of operation. We
may be unable to manage growth. Successful
implementation of our business strategy requires us to manage our growth. Growth could place an increasing strain on our management
and financial resources. To manage growth effectively, we need to continuously: If
we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed. We
may not be able to compete successfully with other established companies offering the same or similar services and, as a result,
we may not achieve our projected revenue and user targets. We
compete with both start-up and established technology companies. Our competitors may have substantially greater financial, marketing
and other resources than we do and may have been in business longer than we have or have greater name recognition and be better
established in the technological or cannabis markets than we are. If we are unable to compete successfully with other businesses
in our existing market, we may not achieve our projected revenue and/or user targets which may have a material adverse effect
on our financial condition. Expansion
by our well-established competitors into the cannabis industry could prevent us from realizing anticipated growth in users and
revenues. Competitors
in the social network space, such as Twitter and Facebook, have continued to expand their businesses in recent years into other
social network markets. If they decided to expand their social networks into the cannabis community, this could harm the growth
of our business and user base and cause our revenues to be lower than we expect. In addition, competitors in the point-of-sale
and compliance software space, such as IQ Metrics, may continue to expand their businesses into the cannabis space which could
harm the growth of our business and user base and cause our revenues to be lower than we expect. Government
regulation of the Internet and e-commerce is evolving, and unfavorable changes could substantially harm our business and results
of operations. We
are subject to general business regulations and laws as well as Federal and state regulations and laws specifically governing
the Internet and e-commerce. Existing and future laws and regulations may impede the growth of the Internet, e-commerce or other
online services, and increase the cost of providing online services. These regulations and laws may cover sweepstakes, taxation,
tariffs, user privacy, data protection, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications,
consumer protection, broadband residential Internet access and the characteristics and quality of services. It is not clear how
existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, sales, use and other taxes, personal privacy apply to the Internet
and e-commerce. Unfavorable resolution of these issues may harm our business and results of operations. The
failure to enforce and maintain our intellectual property rights could enable others to use trademarks used by our business which
could adversely affect the value of the Company. The
success of our business depends on our continued ability to use our existing tradename in order to increase our brand awareness.
As of the date hereof, MASSROOTS is a federally registered trademark owned by us, ODAVA is a state registered trademark owned
by us and RETAIL is a trademark of Odava, Inc. The unauthorized use or other misappropriation of any of the foregoing trademarks
could diminish the value of our business which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of
operation. Due
to our involvement in the cannabis industry, we may have a difficult time obtaining insurance coverage for our business which
may expose us to additional risk and financial liabilities. Insurance
that may otherwise be readily available, such as workers compensation, general liability, and directors and officers insurance,
is more expensive and difficult for us to obtain because we are a service provider to companies in the cannabis industry. Although
we currently maintain director’s and officer’s liability insurance there can be no assurance that we will be able
to maintain such policy in the future or at costs that are affordable to us due to the nature of our business operations. If we
are unable to maintain insurance related to our company and business operations we will be exposed to additional risk and financial
liabilities which may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Participants
in the cannabis industry may have difficulty accessing the service of banks, which may make it difficult for us to operate. Despite
recent rules issued by the United States Department of the Treasury mitigating the risk to banks which do business with cannabis
companies operating in compliance with applicable state laws, as well as recent guidance from the United States Department of
Justice, banks remain wary of accepting funds from businesses in the cannabis industry. Since the use of cannabis remains illegal
under Federal law, there remains a compelling argument that banks may be in violation of Federal law when accepting for deposit
funds derived from the sale or distribution of cannabis. Consequently, businesses involved in the cannabis industry continue to
have trouble establishing banking relationships. Although we currently have a bank account, our inability to open additional bank
accounts or maintain our current account may make it difficult, if not impossible, for us, or some of our advertisers, to do business. Our
independent registered accounting firm has expressed concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. The
report of our independent registered accounting firm expresses concern about our ability to continue as a going concern based
on the absence of significant revenues, our significant losses from operations and our need for additional financing to fund all
of our operations. It is not possible at this time for us to predict with assurance the potential success of our business. The
revenue and income potential of our proposed business and operations are unknown. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, we
may be unable to continue our operations and you may lose some or all of your investment in our securities. In
the past we have experienced material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which if continued, could impair
our financial condition. As
reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not
effective as of December 31, 2016 due to material weaknesses regarding our controls and procedures. The Company did
not have sufficient segregation of duties to support its internal control over financial reporting. Due to our small size and
limited resources, segregation of all conflicting duties has not always been possible and may not be economically feasible in
the near term; however, we do expect to hire additional accounting personnel in the near future. We have and do endeavor to take
appropriate and reasonable steps to make improvements to remediate these deficiencies. If we have continued material weaknesses
in our internal financial reporting, our financial condition could be impaired or we may have to restate our financials, which
could cause us to expend additional funds that would have a material impact on our ability to generate profits and on the success
of our business.
Risks
Relating to our Common Stock Due
to our connection to the cannabis industry, there can be no assurance that our common stock will ever be approved for listing
on a national securities exchange. Currently,
shares of our common stock are quoted on the OTCQB and are not traded or listed on any securities exchange. Even if we desire
to have our shares listed on a national securities exchange, the fact that our network is associated with the use of cannabis,
the legal status of which is uncertain at the state and Federal level, may make any efforts to become listed on a securities exchange
more problematic. While we remain determined to work towards getting our securities listed on a national exchange, there can be
no assurance that this will occur. As a result we may never develop an active trading market for our securities which may limit
our investors’ ability to liquidate their investments. The
market price of our common stock may be volatile and adversely affected by several factors. The
market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly in response to various factors and events, including, but not limited
to: our ability to execute our business plan; operating results below expectations; announcements
regarding regulatory developments with respect to the cannabis industry; our issuance of additional securities, including debt
or equity or a combination thereof, necessary to fund our operating expenses; announcements of technological
innovations or new products by us or our competitors; and period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results. In
addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated
to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market
price of our common stock. Our
common stock is subject to the "penny stock" rules of the SEC and the trading market in the securities is limited, which
makes transactions in the stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in the stock. Rule
15g-9 under the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any
equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject
to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (a) that a broker or dealer
approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and (b) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written
agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In
order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: (a) obtain financial information
and investment experience objectives of the person and (b) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks
are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating
the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The
broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating
to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: (a) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability
determination; and (b) confirms that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the
transaction. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock"
rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of
our common stock. Disclosure
also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the
commissions payable to both the broker or dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and
the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have
to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in
penny stocks. We
are an "emerging growth company" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we decide to take advantage of certain
exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, our common stock could be less attractive
to investors. For
as long as we remain an "emerging growth company", as defined in the JOBS Act, we will have the option to take advantage
of certain exemptions from various reporting and other 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 auditor attestation
requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act") 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. We may take advantage of these and other exemptions until we are no longer an "emerging
growth company". In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended
transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We will remain an emerging growth company
until the earliest of (1) the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.0 billion
or more, (2) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering,
(3) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible
debt, and (4) the date on which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" under the Exchange Act (i.e., the
first day of the fiscal year after we have (a) more than $700,000,000 in outstanding common equity held by our non-affiliates,
measured each year on the last day of our second fiscal quarter, and (b) been public for at least 12 months). Even
after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may still qualify as a "smaller reporting company," which
would allow us to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements including exemption from compliance
with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reduced disclosure obligations regarding
executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock
less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock or warrants less attractive as
a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile. We
do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock, and investors may lose the entire amount of their investment. Cash
dividends have never been declared or paid on our common stock, and we do not anticipate such a declaration or payment for the
foreseeable future. We expect to use future earnings, if any, to fund business growth. Therefore, stockholders will not receive
any funds absent a sale of their shares of common stock. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because
a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates. We cannot assure stockholders of a positive return
on their investment when they sell their shares, nor can we assure that stockholders will not lose the entire amount of their
investment. You
could lose all of your investment. An
investment in our securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Potential investors should be aware that the value
of an investment in the Company may go down as well as up. In addition, there can be no certainty that the market value of
an investment in the Company will fully reflect its underlying value. You could lose your entire investment.
Our
management controls a large block of our common stock that will allow them to control us. As
of the date of this prospectus, members of our management team beneficially own approximately 13.15% of our outstanding common
stock. As a result, management may have the ability to control substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval
including: In
addition, management’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting
to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over
our stock price. Any additional investors will own a minority percentage of our common stock and will have minority voting rights. Because
we can issue additional shares of Common Stock, purchasers of our Common Stock may incur immediate dilution and experience further
dilution. We
are authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 151,099,833 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding
as of February 12, 2018. Our Board of Directors has the authority to cause us to issue additional shares of Common Stock without
consent of any of stockholders. Consequently, our stockholders may experience further dilution in their ownership of our stock
in the future, which could have an adverse effect on the trading market for our Common Stock. Government
regulation of the Internet, blockchain technology and cryptocurrency is evolving, and unfavorable changes could substantially
harm us and our subsidiary. We
are subject to federal and state regulations and laws governing the Internet, blockchain technology and e-commerce. Existing and
future laws and regulations may impede the growth of the Internet, blockchain technology and e-commerce and/or other online services,
and may increase the cost of providing online services. Changes in regulations and laws may effect sweepstakes, taxation, tariffs,
user privacy, data protection, pricing, content, intellectual property rights, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications,
consumer protection, broadband residential Internet access and the characteristics and quality of services. In addition, many
governments and regulatory agencies have not established specific regulations pertaining to cryptocurrency markets or blockchain
technology and no assurance can be given that such governments or regulatory authorities will not implement adverse changes to
laws and regulations. Any such changes to federal and state regulations and laws may harm our and our subsidiary’s business
and results of operations. There
are no assurances that we will be successful in developing blockchain-based solutions, that such solutions will be economically
viable or that such solutions will be able to generate any revenue. While
we are devoting development resources to exploring the feasibility of developing block-chain based solutions, there can be no
assurances that we will be successful in implementing such solutions, that they will be economically viable, or such solutions
will generate any revenue. CAUTIONARY

statements, by these cautionary statements. USE
OF PROCEEDS The
selling stockholders will receive all of the proceeds from the sale of the Resale Shares offered by them pursuant to this prospectus.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Resale Shares by the selling stockholders covered by this prospectus. If
the warrants issued pursuant to the July 2017 Private Placement, August 2017 Private Placement, December 2017 Private Placement
or January 2018 Private Placement are exercised for cash, such proceeds will be used by the Company for working capital. DIVIDEND
POLICY We
have not paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock and have no present intention of paying any dividends on the shares of our
Common Stock. Our current policy is to retain earnings, if any, for use in our operations and in the development of our business.
Our future dividend policy will be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors. SELLING
stockHOLDERS This
prospectus relates to the resale from time to time by the selling security holders identified herein of up to an aggregate of
54,173,168 Resale Shares consisting of:
The
transactions by which the selling stockholders acquired their securities from us were exempt under the registration provisions
of the Securities Act. The
Resale Shares referred to above are being registered to permit public sales of the Resale Shares, and the selling stockholders
may offer the shares for resale from time to time pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholders may also sell, transfer
or otherwise dispose of all or a portion of their shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act or pursuant to another effective registration statement covering those shares. The
table below sets forth certain information regarding the selling stockholders and the Resale Shares offered in this prospectus.
The selling stockholders have had no material relationship with us within the past three years other than as described in the
footnotes to the table below or as a result of their acquisition of our shares or other securities. Beneficial
ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. The selling stockholder’s percentage of ownership of our
outstanding shares in the table below is based upon 151,099,833 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of February 12, 2018. * Under
applicable SEC rules, a person is deemed to beneficially own securities which the person has the right to acquire within
60 days through the exercise of any option or warrant or through the conversion of a convertible security. Also under
applicable SEC rules, a person is deemed to be the “beneficial owner” of a security with regard to which the
person directly or indirectly, has or shares (a) voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of
the security, or (b) investment power, which includes the power to dispose, or direct the disposition, of the security,
in each case, irrespective of the person’s economic interest in the security. Each listed selling stockholder has
the sole investment and voting power with respect to all shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by such selling
stockholder, except as otherwise indicated in the footnotes to the table. Represents
the amount of shares that will be held by the selling stockholder after completion of this offering based on the assumptions
that (a) all Resale Shares registered for sale by the registration statement of which this prospectus is part will
be sold and (b) no other shares of our Common Stock are acquired or sold by the selling stockholder prior to completion
of this offering. However, the selling stockholder may sell all, some or none of the Resale Shares offered pursuant to
this prospectus and may sell other shares of our Common Stock that they may own pursuant to another registration statement
under the Securities Act or sell some or all of their shares pursuant to an exemption from the registration provisions
of the Securities Act, including under Rule 144. To our knowledge there are currently no agreements, arrangements
or understanding with respect to the sale of any of the shares that may be held by the selling stockholder after completion
of this offering or otherwise. Catherine

OF DISTRIBUTION General
We
are registering the Resale Shares covered by this prospectus to permit the selling stockholders to conduct public secondary trading
of such shares from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds of the sale of the
Resale Shares offered by this prospectus. The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the Resale Shares
will be the purchase price of the Resale Shares less any discounts and commissions. Each selling stockholder reserves the right
to accept and, together with their respective agents, to reject, any proposed purchases of Resale Shares to be made directly or
through agents. Following
the date of this prospectus, the selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may sell
all or a portion of their Resale Shares from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market at prevailing
market prices or at privately negotiated market prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods
when selling the Resale Shares offered by this prospectus: •
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; •
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the
block as principal to facilitate the transaction; •
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; •
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; •
privately negotiated transactions; •
settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part; •
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; •
a combination of any such methods of sale; •
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; •
under Rule 144, Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus; or •
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. Our
Common Stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “MSRT.” Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may
arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling
stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated,
but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary
brokerage commission in compliance with NASD Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance
with NASD IM-2440. In
connection with the sale of our Common Stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions
with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of our Common Stock in the course
of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our Common Stock short and deliver these
securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge our common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these
securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions
or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution
of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this
prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The
selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers
or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts.
If a selling stockholder is deemed to be an underwriter, the selling stockholder may be subject to certain statutory liabilities
including, but not limited to Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act. Selling stockholders
who are deemed underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of
the Securities Act. The SEC staff is of a view that selling stockholders who are registered broker-dealers or affiliates of registered
broker-dealers may be underwriters under the Securities Act. In compliance with FINRA guidelines, the maximum commission or discount
to be received by an FINRA member or independent broker-dealer may not exceed 8% for the sale of any securities registered hereunder.
We will not pay any compensation or give any discounts or commissions to any underwriter in connection with the securities being
offered by this prospectus. The selling stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into any written or oral agreements,
understandings or arrangements with any underwriter or broker-dealer regarding the sale of the Resale Shares. There is no underwriter
or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the Resale Shares by the selling stockholders. We
are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify
the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Each selling stockholder has in turn agreed to indemnify us for certain specified liabilities. In
order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the shares of Common Stock may be sold in these jurisdictions
only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of Common Stock may not be sold
unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available
and is complied with. Under
applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the Resale Shares may not simultaneously
engage in market making activities with respect to the Common Stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation
M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases
and sales of shares of the Common Stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. The anti-manipulation rules under the
Exchange Act may apply to sales of Common Stock in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates.
Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Common Stock to engage in market-making
activities with respect to the particular shares of common stock being distributed for a period of up to five business days before
the distribution. These restrictions may affect the marketability of the Common Stock and the ability of any person or entity
to engage in market-making activities with respect to the common stock. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the
selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to
the time of the sale.
DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES We
are offering up to 54,173,168 shares of our Common Stock including 29,743,168 outstanding shares of Common Stock and 24,430,000
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants Common
Stock The
following description of our Common Stock is intended as a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and Bylaws, as amended
(“Bylaws”), which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Our
authorized Common Stock consists of 200,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, of which 151,099,833 shares were issued and
outstanding as of February 12, 2018. Each
share of our Common Stock is entitled to one vote on
all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Our stockholders are not permitted
to cumulative voting. Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by
our Board out of legally available funds. However, the current policy of our Board is to retain earnings, if any, for the operation
and expansion of our Company. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our Common Stock are entitled to share
ratably in all of our assets which are legally available for distribution, after payment of or provision for all liabilities,
subject to rights, if any, of the holders of any of our other securities. The holders
of our Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. Preferred
Stock As
of the date of this prospectus, no shares of preferred stock are outstanding. Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, our
Board has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue from time to time up to 21 shares of preferred stock,
all of which are designated as Series A Preferred Stock. Series
A Preferred Stock The
Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of Common Stock based on a conversion calculation equal to the Series A Original
Issue Price (as defined herein) divided by the Series A Conversion Price (as defined herein). The "Series
A Original Issue Price" means $8,499.79 per share, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend,
stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock. The "Series A Conversion
Price" means $ 8,499.79, subject to adjustment. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock accrue dividends at a rate of 7% per
annum (the “Series A Dividends”). In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or Deemed
Liquidation Event (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation”) the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then
outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders before
any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the
greater of (i) the Series A Original Issue Price, plus any Series A Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon and (ii) such amount
per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series A Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock immediately prior
to such liquidation, dissolution, winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event. Each cast such number of votes equal to the number of
shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible. Holders of Series A preferred Stock
shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class; provided, however, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock,
exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect 2 directors of the Company. Warrants From September 15, 2014 to March 11, 2015,

ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE We
cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of our Common Stock or the availability of shares of our Common
Stock for sale will have on the market price of our Common Stock prevailing from time to time. Future sales of our Common Stock
in the public market, or the availability of such shares for sale in the public market, could adversely affect market prices prevailing
from time to time. The availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock acquired through the exercise
of outstanding warrants could materially adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. In addition, sales of our Common
Stock in the public market after the restrictions lapse as described below, or the perception that those sales may occur, could
cause the prevailing market price to decrease or to be lower than it might be in the absence of those sales or perceptions. Rule
144 In
general, under Rule 144, any person who is not our affiliate and has held their shares for at least six months, including the
holding period of any prior owner other than one of our affiliates, may sell shares without restriction, subject to the availability
of current public information about us. In addition, under Rule 144, any person who is not an affiliate of ours and has held their
shares for at least one year, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our affiliates, would be entitled
to sell an unlimited number of shares without regard to whether current public information about us is available. A person who
is our affiliate or who was our affiliate at any time during the preceding three months, and who has beneficially owned restricted
securities for at least six months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our affiliates, is entitled
to sell a number of shares within any three-month period that does not exceed the greater of: (i) 1% of the number of shares of
our common stock then outstanding and (ii) if and when the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the average
weekly trading volume of the Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of such sale was filed
under Rule 144. Sales
under Rule 144 by our affiliates are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements, and to the availability
of current public information about us.
DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS Overview MassRoots
was formed in April 2013 as a technology platform for the cannabis industry. Powered by more than one million registered users,
MassRoots enables consumers to rate cannabis products and strains based on their efficacy (i.e., effectiveness for treating ailments
such as back-pain or epilepsy) and then presents this information in easy-to-use formats for consumers to make educated purchasing
decisions at their local dispensary. Businesses are able to leverage MassRoots by strategically advertising to consumers based
on their preferences and tendencies. “Registered
users” (“Users”) is defined as every user who currently has an account with MassRoots. It does not include users
who have deleted their account nor does it reflect active usage over any set period of time. Background We
were incorporated in the state of Delaware on April 26, 2013 as a technology platform for the cannabis industry. Our
principal executive office is located at 2420 17th Street, Office 3118, Denver, Colorado 80202, and our telephone number
is (833) 467-6687. For
the year ended December 31, 2016, we raised an aggregate of $6,158,770 from the sale of our securities (including the exercise
of previously issued warrants for the purchase of shares of our Common Stock). For the year ended December 31, 2016, we had a
net loss of $18,030,124. On
January 25, 2017, we consummated a reverse triangular merger (the “Whaxy Merger”) pursuant to which we acquired all
of the outstanding common stock of DDDigtal Inc (“DDDigtal”), a Colorado corporation. Upon closing of the Whaxy Merger,
each share of DDDigtal’s common stock was exchanged for such number of shares of our common stock (or a fraction thereof)
based on an exchange ratio equal to approximately 5.273-for-1, such that 1 share of our common stock was issued for every 5.273
shares of DDDigtal’s common stock. At the closing of the Whaxy Merger, all shares of common stock of our newly-formed merger
subsidiary formed for the sole purpose of effectuating the Whaxy Merger, were converted into and exchanged for one share of common
stock of DDDigtal, and all shares of DDDigtal’s common stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the
Whaxy Merger were automatically cancelled and retired. Upon the closing of the Whaxy Merger, DDDigtal continued as our surviving
wholly-owned subsidiary (“Whaxy”), and the merger subsidiary ceased to exist. In connection with the Whaxy Merger,
each stockholder of DDDigtal prior to such merger entered into a lock-up agreement pursuant to which such stockholder was prohibited
from selling, contracting to sell, pledging, giving, donating, transferring or otherwise disposing of, directly or indirectly,
any shares of our common stock obtained pursuant to the Whaxy Merger for a period of six months following the closing of the Whaxy
Merger. On
July 13, 2017, we consummated a reverse triangular merger (the “Odava Merger”) pursuant to which we acquired all of
the outstanding common stock of Odava Inc (“Odava”), a Delaware corporation. Upon closing of the Odava Merger, each
share of Odava’s common stock was exchanged for such number of shares of our common stock (or a fraction thereof), based
on an exchange ratio equal to approximately 4.069-for-1, such that 1 share of our common stock was issued for every 4.069 shares
of Odava’s common stock. At the closing of the Odava Merger, all shares of common stock of our newly-formed merger subsidiary
formed for the sole purpose of effectuating the Odava Merger, were converted into and exchanged for one share of common stock
of Odava, and all shares of Odava’s common stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Odava Merger
automatically cancelled and retired. Upon the closing of the Odava Merger, Odava continued as our surviving wholly-owned subsidiary,
and the merger subsidiary ceased to exist. Our
Products and Services Our
technology platform consists of: MassRoots, our consumer-facing social network (accessible through an Android application, iOS
application, and web portal) and our business and advertising portal for companies which can be accessed at https://www.massroots.com/dispensaries/. MassRoots
Retail MassRoots
Retail, previously known as Odava, is available to dispensary operators in Oregon as a paid software-as-a-service (“SaaS”)
platform to manage their point-of-sale, compliance and loyalty program operations. Dispensary operators pay approximately
$100-$300 per month per location and can access the platform through a personal computer and Web application, accessible at http://retail.massroots.com/. Our software has a direct connection to Marijuana
Enforcement Tracking Reporting Compliance (“METRC”), the traceability (“seed-to-sale”) system used by
state regulators and licensed cannabis businesses in several states, as mandated by state laws and regulations. Through an Application
Programming Interface (“API”), licensed dispensary operators are able to easily upload sales and other data as mandated
by state laws and regulations. Once dispensary operators install the application, they are able to use a variety of receipt printers,
label printers, cash drawers, barcode scanners and scales that function seamlessly with MassRoots Retail. Operators are able to
build a product catalog that standardizes all product data across retail locations and print barcode labels that link back to
METRC to ensure that the required information is tracked and accurately reported to state regulators. Every user click in the
MassRoots Retail platform is tracked to provide regulators and business owners additional transparency about changes made within
the system. All information recorded through MassRoots Retail can be reported back to state regulators through an API, eliminating
manual intermediary steps for compliant reporting, as mandated by states laws and regulations under the Cole Memo (as described
in more detail in “Description of Business - Cannabis Market Growth and Current Trends”). The
MassRoots Network The
MassRoots network is accessible as a free mobile application through the Apple App Store, the Amazon App Store, the Google Play
Marketplace, and as a web application at www.MassRoots.com. These applications and services work in a manner similar to other
social review platforms like Vivino, Untappd and Yelp. Using our network, User
Growth and Product Distribution Channels The
MassRoots app is distributed free-of-charge through the Apple App Store, the Google Play Marketplace and the Amazon App Store.
The MassRoots network is also accessible through desktop and mobile web browsers by navigating to www.MassRoots.com. Our business
and adverting portal can be accessed at https://www.massroots.com/dispensaries. Through this portal companies can edit their profiles,
distribute information to Users and view analytics such as impressions, views and clicks. Blockchain
Technologies In
December 2017, we formed MassRoots Blockchain Technologies, Inc. (“MassRoots BlockChain”), our wholly-owned subsidiary,
to explore how blockchain technology can be utilized in the cannabis industry. Specific areas that we are exploring include: While
MassRoots is devoting development resources to exploring the feasibility of developing these solutions, there can be no assurances
that we will be successful in implementing these solutions, that they will be economically viable, or that we will be able to
generate revenue from such solutions. App/Play
Store Issues, User Support and Similar Matters On
November 4, 2014, the MassRoots App was removed from Apple’s iOS App Store because the App Store changed its guidelines
to prohibit the promotion of social cannabis applications. Although existing iOS Users were still able to access and use the MassRoots
App, new users were prohibited from downloading our app. After correspondences sent to Apple by us, other cannabis companies and
cannabis advocates, in February 2015 Apple advised us that it had revised its enforcement guidelines to permit cannabis applications
in the App Store which restricted access to users located in the states where use of cannabis was permitted. On February 12, 2015,
our application was reinstated to the App Store and can now only be accessed by users in the states which permit the use of cannabis.
Although our app has been reinstated to the App Store, we cannot provide any assurance that Apple’s policy will not change
in the future or that our application will not once again be removed from the App Store. The
Apple App Store is one of the largest content distribution channels in the world and is the only way to effectively distribute
software to the large percentage of the United States population who own iPhones and iPads. The Apple App Store review team effectively
operates as our iOS App’s regulator; they decide what guidelines iOS apps must operate under and how to enforce such guidelines.
The Apple guidelines related to cannabis-related apps are not published, enforcement of such guidelines is difficult to predict,
and the review and appeal processes are conducted without public oversight. Although we will continue advocating for a more open
and transparent App Store review process that will allow decisions that affect a significant portion of the United States smartphone
owning population to be open to public scrutiny, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts. MassRoots,
along with other cannabis apps, regularly encounter issues with the Google Play Store review team in the normal course of business
due to Google Play Store’s absence of clear guidelines regarding cannabis-related apps. On November 8, 2016, the MassRoots
App was removed from the Google Play Store due to a compliance review. However, on March 21, 2017, Google Play approved
the MassRoots App for distribution to Android devices through the Google Play Store, making it available for download on the Google
Play Store once again. On
December 1, 2016, MassRoots’ Android application received approval from the Amazon App Store for listing, and is currently
available for download on the Amazon App Store. Under
their respective developer license agreements, Apple, Inc., Google, Inc. and Amazon.com, Inc. have the right to update their Apple
App Store, Play Store and Amazon App Store policies, respectively, to prohibit cannabis-related applications at any time. This
could result in many prospective users being unable to access and join our network and existing Users being unable to access our
App. Our
activities outside of the application stores have also faced backlash and resistance due to our status as a cannabis-related company.
For example, our Instagram account is followed by more than 450,000 users and we utilize this following to help expand our user-base.
However, in a situation similar to the removal of our application from the Apple App Store, our Instagram account was suspended
in January 2016 without notice or explanation. Our account was reinstated on February 26, 2016. While management believes that
our platform is at the point where any potential suspensions effecting our Company will not affect our User growth, we expect
to continue to face similar situations in the future that may cause disruptions to the execution of our business plan. Market
Conditions MassRoots
is poised to take advantage of two rapidly growing industries: cannabis and mobile technology. Cannabis
Market Growth and Current Trends Since
the MassRoots app first launched in July 2013 although there were previously a series of developments that helped further shape
the development of the cannabis and mobile technology industries, on January 4, 2018, Jeff Sessions issued a memo which rescinded
the Cole Memo (as defined below) which was adopted by the Obama administration as a policy of non-interference with marijuana-friendly
state laws. The
Cole Memo On
August 29, 2013, Deputy Attorney General James Cole issued a memo (“The Cole Memo”) in response to certain states
passing measures to legalize the medical and adult-use of cannabis. In the Cole Memo, the Department of Justice made clear that
marijuana remains an illegal drug under the Controlled Substances Act and that federal prosecutors will continue to aggressively
enforce the statute. The Department of Justice identified eight enforcement areas that federal prosecutors should prioritize.
Outside of such enforcement priorities, the federal government has traditionally relied on state and local authorities to address
marijuana activity. The Cole Memo established several basic guidelines by which state-legal cannabis businesses could operate
to minimize the risk of intervention and enforcement by the Department of Justice. The guidelines focused on ensuring that cannabis
did not cross state lines, keeping dispensaries away from schools and public facilities and strict-enforcement of state laws by
regulatory agencies, among other priorities. The
Sessions Memo On
January 4, 2018, Attorney General Jefferson B. Sessions, III issued a memo (the “Sessions Memo”) on federal marijuana
enforcement policy announcing a return to the rule of law and the rescission of previous nationwide guidance by the Department
of Justice (including, but not limited to, the Cole Memo). In the memorandum, Attorney General Jeff Sessions directs all U.S.
Attorneys to enforce the laws enacted by Congress and to follow the well-established principles when pursuing prosecutions related
to marijuana activities. These principles include weighing all relevant considerations, including federal law enforcement priorities
set by the Attorney General, the seriousness of the crime, the deterrent effect of criminal prosecution, and the cumulative impact
of particular crimes on the community Guidance
to Banks Relating to the Marijuana Industry On
February 14, 2014, the Departments of Justice and Treasury issued guidance to banks about how to serve the marijuana industry
without running afoul of federal regulations. Prior to such guidance, dispensaries were forced to operate on a cash basis, presenting
significant security and accounting issues. Although banks have remained reluctant to work with marijuana businesses because of
federal prohibition laws, this guidance was a major step in legitimizing and accepting the cannabis industry on a national level.
In addition, the adoption of the Rohrabacher Farr Amendment (as discussed below) indicates some level of support in Congress for
medicinal cannabis, even if its actual effect is still undetermined. For
additional information concerning the Cole Memo, the Sessions Member, the Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment and regulatory conditions,
see the section entitled “Business – Government Regulation.” Current
States with Laws Permitting the Medical or Adult Use of Cannabis As of January 23, 2018, “recreational
marijuana is legal in nine states and medical marijuana is legal in 29 states” (Business Insider, This Map Shows Every
State that has Legalized Marijuana, Melia Robinson, Jeremy Berke and Skye Gould - http://www.businessinsider.com/legal-marijuana-states-2018-1).
The states which have enacted such laws are listed below the following map:

with Laws Specifically about Legal Cannabidiol (CBD)- https://medicalmarijuana.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=006473 * State has enacted laws permitting the adult use of cannabis, in addition to medical use. (https://medicalmarijuana.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=000881) Public
Support for Legalization Increasing A
Quinnipiac poll conducted in February 2017 found that 93% of the American people supported legalizing the medicinal use of cannabis,
59% supported legalizing the adult-use of cannabis and 71% of Americans were opposed to federal government interference with state
marijuana programs. These statistics continue the trend over the past decade toward public support for cannabis. Market
Conditions that Could Limit Our Business Cannabis
is a Schedule I controlled substance under Federal law and, as such, there are several factors that could limit our business operations
including, but not limited to: Please see “Government Regulation”
below for additional information. Employees
and Consultants MassRoots
has 5 full-time employees, two part-time employees, and one full-time independent contractor. Government
Regulation Marijuana
is a categorized as a Schedule I controlled substance by the Drug Enforcement Agency and the United States Department of Justice
and is illegal to grow, possess and consume under Federal law. However, 29 states and the District of Columbia have passed state
laws that permit doctors to recommend cannabis for medical-use and eight of those states and the District of Columbia have enacted
laws that legalize the adult-use of cannabis for any reason. Because doctors are prohibited from prescribing a Schedule I controlled
substance, the passage of a state medical marijuana does not necessarily guarantee the implementation of a regulated, commercial
system through which patients can purchase cannabis products. This has created an unpredictable business-environment for dispensaries
and collectives that legally operate under certain state laws but in violation of Federal law. Cole
Memo On
August 29, 2013, United States Deputy Attorney General James Cole issued the Cole Memo to United States Attorneys guiding
them to prioritize enforcement of Federal law away from the cannabis industry operating as permitted under certain state laws,
so long as: The
Cole Memo was a guide for United States Attorneys and did not alter in any way the Department of Justice’s authority to
enforce Federal law, including Federal laws relating to cannabis, regardless of state law. As described below, as a result of
the issuance of the Sessions Memo by the Department of Justice on January 4, 2018, the Cole memo is no longer an existing guide.
Prior to the issuance of the Sessions Memo, we had implemented standard operating procedures and policies to ensure that we were
operating in compliance with the “Cole Memo.” We cannot provide assurance that our actions are or were in full compliance
with the Sessions Memo, the Cole Memo or any other currently existing laws or regulations, or that we will be in compliance with
new or revised laws or regulations that may be adopted. Pursuant
to our currently existing Terms and Conditions: ·
Posting other drugs or substances, including prescription pain pills; ·
Posting of any violence or threat of violence; ·
Posting of any drugged-driving content; and ·
Posting of any copyright-protected content. We
have implemented an aggressive content and account review program to ensure compliance with our Terms and Conditions. Users have
the ability to report any status or account that is in violation of our Terms and Conditions and we encourage Users to do so as
any illegal content jeopardizes the network for all our Users. When a status or account is reported, the post is automatically
removed from the network until further review. A MassRoots employee then reviews the content within 24 hours and either approves
it as within our Terms and Conditions or permanently deletes it and bans the User account. In
addition, as part of the agreement to allow our app to return to the Apple App Store, we implemented geographic restrictions to
restrict new Users to our mobile apps to the 29 states in which the use of marijuana is permitted. Our
business plan includes allowing cannabis dispensaries to advertise on our network, which we believe could be deemed to be aiding
and abetting illegal activities, a violation of Federal law. We continue to evaluate the affects of the Sessions Memo, and we
intend to continue to adhere to the guidelines outlined in the Cole Memo. However, we cannot provide assurance that we are or
were in full compliance with the Sessions Memo, Cole Memo or any other laws or regulations. Rohrabacher-Farr
Amendment On
December 16, 2014, H.R. 83 - Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 was enacted and included a provision
known as the “Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment” which states: None
of the funds made available in this Act to the Department of Justice may be used, with respect to the States of Alaska, Arizona,
California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode
Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin, to prevent such States from implementing their own
State laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession, or cultivation of medical marijuana. The
Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment would appear to protect the right of the states to determine their own laws on medical cannabis use;
however, the actual effects of the amendment are still unclear. The Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment did not remove the federal ban
on medical cannabis and cannabis remains regulated as a Schedule I controlled substance. Further, the United States Department
of Justice has interpreted the Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment as only preventing federal action that prevents states from creating
and implementing cannabis laws - not against the individuals or businesses that actually carry out cannabis laws – and has
continued to sporadically initiate enforcement actions against individuals or businesses participating in the cannabis industry
despite such participation being legal under state law. Whether this interpretation is appropriate is still being litigated, and,
while an initial district court decision has not supported the Department of Justice’s interpretation, such decision is
currently under appellate review. In addition, no matter what the interpretation is adopted by the courts, there is no question
that the Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment does not protect any party not in full compliance with state medicinal cannabis laws. The
Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment represents one of the first times in recent history that Congress has taken action indicating support
of medical cannabis. The Rohrabacher Farr Amendment was renewed by Congress in 2015, 2016 and 2017 and was in effect until March
23, 2018. Sessions
Memo On
January 4, 2018, Attorney General Jefferson B. Sessions, III issued a memo on federal marijuana enforcement policy announcing
a return to the rule of law and the rescission of previous nationwide guidance by the Department of Justice (including, but not
limited to, the Cole Memo). In the memorandum, Attorney General Jeff Sessions directs all U.S. Attorneys to enforce the laws enacted
by Congress and to follow well-established principles when pursuing prosecutions related to marijuana activities. These principles
include weighing all relevant considerations, including federal law enforcement priorities set by the Attorney General, the seriousness
of the crime, the deterrent effect of criminal prosecution, and the cumulative impact of particular crimes on the community. The
effect of this memo is to shift federal policy from a hands-off approach adopted by the Obama administration to permitting federal
prosecutors across the country to determine how to prioritize resources to regulate marijuana possession, distribution and cultivation
in states where marijuana use is legal. While
we do not directly harvest or distribute cannabis today, we still may be deemed to be violating federal law, or aiding and abetting
the violation of Federal law and may be irreparably harmed by a change in enforcement by the federal or state governments. Trademarks MASSROOTS
is a federally registered trademark of MassRoots, Inc.. Competitors We
compete with other cannabis information platforms such as WeedMaps and Leafly, which provide information with respect to dispensary
locations, strain information, and news relating to the cannabis industry. We believe our primary competitive advantage is the
social functionality of our platform enables users to build an online personality and preferences and follow other Users with
similar interests compared to other platforms such as WeedMaps and Leafly which utilize anonymous and non-personalized profiles. Network
effects may have an impact on our market share unlike some other companies which do not have positive network effects. For example,
Google+ failed to obtain a dominant market share in desktop-based social networking because it was introduced after Facebook already
dominated the market. Similarly, management believes that even if additional competitors to MassRoots were to emerge, Users would
still utilize our services as we have a large and diverse community constantly providing up-to-date reviews and information and
our platform provides customization of User profiles. Legal

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION You
should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with financial statements
and notes thereto, as well as the “Risk Factors” and “Description of Business” sections included elsewhere
in this prospectus. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs.
Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or
contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in “Risk Factors”. Overview MassRoots,
Inc. is a Delaware corporation formed on April 24, 2013. Our principal place of business is located at 2420 17th Street,
Office 3118, Denver, Colorado 80202, our telephone number is (833) 467-6687 and our corporate website is www.MassRoots.com. As
discussed in the notes to the financial statements, we have experienced recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations
since inception. We have relied on equity financing to fund operations. There can be no guarantee that we will ever become profitable,
or that adequate additional financing will be realized in the future or otherwise may be available to us on acceptable terms,
or at all. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate
our development efforts. We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability and we may never do so. These
factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have been implementing our strategic plan,
as set forth below, pursuant to which we believe we will be able to continue operations and become profitable in the future. MassRoots
was formed in April 2013 as a technology platform for the cannabis industry. Powered by more than one million registered users,
MassRoots enables consumers to rate cannabis products and strains based on their efficacy (i.e., effectiveness for treating ailments
such as back-pain or epilepsy) and then presents this information in easy-to-use formats for consumers to make educated purchasing
decisions at their local dispensary. Businesses are able to leverage MassRoots by strategically advertising to consumers based
on their preferences and tendencies. The
Team We
have 5 full-time employees working at our headquarters in Denver, Colorado, along with several outside contractors which are assisting
us build out our technology platform. German

on the Stuttgart Exchange, Berlin Exchange and München Exchange in Germany, under the ticker symbol 2R1. On February 13,
2018, the stock price was not quoted on the Stuttgart Exchange, closed at €0.345
on the Berlin Exchange and closed at €0.32 on the München
Exchange. Competition We
compete with other cannabis information platforms such as WeedMaps and Leafly, which provide information with respect to dispensary
locations, strain information, and news relating to the cannabis industry. We believe our primary competitive advantage is the
social functionality of our platform which enables users to build an online personality and preferences and follow other Users

of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2016 as Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2015 Since
inception on April 26, 2013, and during the year ended December 31, 2016, our business operations have been primarily
focused developing our mobile applications, web platform and increasing our User-base. Revenues Since
beginning to monetize our platform in August 2015, we have generated minimal revenues from our operations. We cannot guarantee
we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business
enterprise, including the financial risks associated with the limited capital resources currently available to us, and risks associated
the implementation of our business strategies. For
the year ended December 31, 2016, we generated $701,581 in total revenues, as compared to $213,963 for the year ended
December 31, 2015, an increase of $487,618. This revenue was primarily generated from advertising sales. Of our $701,581
in 2016 revenues, $669,778, or 95% was generated from advertising services. Our User-base averaged roughly 850,000 Users during
this time period, equating to an average of $0.78 in revenue per User during 12 months of monetization. Operating
Expenses Our
cost of revenues increased $122,816 during 2016, from $57,611 during fiscal year 2015 to $180,427 during fiscal year 2016. This
increase was mainly a result of higher sales and merchandise activity in 2016. We
incurred $985,342 in advertising expenses during fiscal year 2016, an increase of $267,569, from $717,773 in fiscal year 2015.
This increase was mainly a result of increased marketing in 2016. Payroll
and related expenses increased $731,808 to $2,112,879 during fiscal year 2016 from $1,381,071 during fiscal year 2015. This increase
was mainly a result of added personnel in 2016. Over
the course of fiscal year 2016, we issued $4,199,906 in Common Stock for services, as compared to $1,219,904 during fiscal year
2015, an increase of $2,980,002. This increase was mainly a result of a combination of additional consultants added for our business
development and higher valuation of our stock price. Options
issued for services also increased during fiscal year 2016 to $3,112,156 from $1,273,483 during fiscal year 2015, an increase
of $1,838,673. This increase was mainly a result of compensation to employees past services. We saw a decrease in the value of
warrants issued for services from $229,365 during 2015 to $68,369 during 2016, a decrease of $160,996. MassRoots’
other general and administrative expenses increased to $3,644,881 during fiscal year 2016 from $1,459,946 in fiscal year, an increase
of $2,184,935. This increase was attributed to the following: The
combination of these increasing expenditures resulted in MassRoots’ total operating expenses growing to $14,303,960 in fiscal
year 2016 versus $6,339,063 in fiscal year 2015, an increase of $7,964,897. Loss
from Operations MassRoots’
Loss from Operations increased $7,477,279 to $13,602,379 during fiscal year 2016, from $6,125,100 during fiscal year 2015. Other
Income (Expense) During
the fiscal years ended 2016 and 2015, the Company realized losses related to the fair value mark to market adjustments of its
derivative liabilities of $581,912 and $2,236,401, respectively. During
the fiscal years ended 2016 and 2015, interest expense increased to $3,845,833 during fiscal year 2016 from $111,397 during fiscal
year 2015, an increase of $3,734,436. This increase is mainly from non-cash interest and penalty charges relating to our 2016
issued convertible debt of $1,265,376 and $763,872, respectively and amortization of debt discounts. For the fiscal years ended
2016 and 2015, the Company recorded amortization of discount on notes payable of $1,549,669 and $107,016, respectively. Net
Loss Our
net loss increased $9,557,226 to $18,030,124 during fiscal year 2016, from $8,472,898 during fiscal year 2015.
Revenues For
the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we generated revenues of $11,516 and $209,003, respectively, a decrease of
$197,487. Of the $11,516 generated in the three months ended September 30, 2017, all was made up of advertising revenue related
to the MassRoots network. The decrease in revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily caused by a lack
of revenues from the 420 Rally being generated in 2017. Operating
Expenses For
the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, our operating expenses were $7,533,530 and $2,094,211, respectively, an increase
of $5,439,319. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, these increases were mainly attributed to increased stock-based
compensation to our employees and key consultants which, for 2017 was $5,510,554 as compared to $613,353 for the same period last
year (a non-cash increase of $4,897,201). In addition we incurred additional consulting and other service provider fees and increases
in payroll and payroll-related expenditures as we expanded our business. Other
Income (Expense) For
the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded interest expense of $189,125 and $2,573,814, respectively.
As of September 30, 2017, we had outstanding $1,095,000 in convertible notes. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and
2016, the Company realized gains related to the fair value mark to market adjustments of its derivative liabilities of $634,073
and $1,006,358, respectively. The derivative liabilities are caused by certain price protections included in the notes and warrants
issued as part of the Company’s convertible debt and common stock offering. For the three months ended September 30, 2017
and 2016, the Company recorded amortization of discount on notes payable of $187,272 and $676,617, respectively, included in the
interest discussion above. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2016, we incurred non-cash interest and penalties
relating to our convertible debt of $1,265,375 and $584,735, respectively. Net
Loss For
the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we had net losses of $7,077,066 and $3,452,664, respectively, an increase
of $3,624,402, for the reasons discussed above. Results
of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016
Revenues For
the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we generated revenues of $289,130 and $794,621, respectively, a decrease of
$505,491. The $289,130 generated in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily comprised of advertising revenue related
to the MassRoots network. The decrease in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily caused by no revenues
from the 420 Rally being generated in 2017. Operating
Expenses For
the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, our operating expenses were $27,315,960 and $6,795,371, respectively, an increase
of $20,520,589. This increase was mainly attributable to an increase stock based compensation to our employees and key consultants
which, for 2017 was $19,882,527 as compared to $2,306,662 for the same period last year (a non-cash increase of $17,575,865).
In addition we incurred additional consulting and other service provider fees and increases in payroll and payroll-related expenditures
as we expanded our business. Other
Income (Expense) For
the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded interest expense of $189,125 and $3,575,008, respectively.
As of September 30, 2017, we had outstanding $1,095,000 in convertible notes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and
2016, the Company realized gains related to the fair value mark to market adjustments of its derivative liabilities of $986,058
and $1,320,654, respectively. The derivative liabilities are caused by certain price protections included in the warrants issued
as part of the Company’s convertible debt and common stock offerings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,
the Company recorded amortization of discount on notes payable of $187,272 and $1,549,669, respectively, included in the interest
discussion above. Lastly, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we sold our security investment in Flowhub for $250,000
realizing a gain on sale of securities of $75,000. Net
Loss For
the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we had net losses of $26,154,897 and $8,255,104, respectively, an increase
of $17,899,793, for the reasons discussed above. Liquidity
and Capital Resources Net
cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $7,200,176 and $2,915,832, respectively. This
increase was primarily caused by a widening net loss in the Company’s operations, an increase in the value of options issued
to employees, and an expansion of MassRoots’ development team. Net
cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $236,833 and $19,100, respectively.
These investing activities in 2017 were proceeds from sale of securities of $250,000 and received $11,273 in connection with the
acquisitions of DDDigtal Inc and Odava, net with the purchase of equipment, primarily computers, of $57,533, investment in convertible
note of $300,000 and equity investment of $100,002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, $19,100 was used to purchase
office equipment. Net
cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $7,429,841 and $2,675,231, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, these funds came mainly from warrant and option exercises of $4,753,196, proceeds
from sale of common stock and warrants of $1,198,000, proceeds from issuance of convertible debt of $942,500 and proceeds from
related party advances of $442,500. While for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 the Company received proceeds from its
March 2016 convertible debt offering and warrants of $1,420,000, for sale of common stock of $1,660,500 and option and warrant
exercises of $621,331. Capital
Resources As
of September 30, 2017, we had cash on hand of $267,322 and as of September 30, 2017; there are warrants outstanding to purchase
up to aggregate of 10,640,672 shares with an exercise prices of $0.50 to $.90 per share, which, if all were exercised, would supply
$7,745,437 in cash to the Company. We
currently have no external sources of liquidity such as arrangements with credit institutions, with the exception of a credit
card from American Express, or off-balance sheet arrangements that will have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future
effect on our financial condition or immediate access to capital. We
are dependent on the sale of our securities to fund our operations, and will remain so until we generate sufficient revenues to
pay for our operating costs. Our officers and directors have made no written commitments with respect to providing a source of
liquidity in the form of cash advances, loans and/or financial guarantees. Fundraising During
the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we received approximately $4,753,000 proceeds from the exercise of our previously issued

September 27, 2017, we received aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $420,000 in connection with the sale to two investors
of a right to receive units of a cryptographic token at a fifty percent (50%) discount, if the Company conducts a public sale
of such tokens on or before November 30, 2017. The $420,000 is included in amounts due to related parties at September 30, 2017. Required
Capital Over the Next Fiscal Year We
do not believe MassRoots has sufficient capital to become cash-flow positive from operations. We expect to need to raise at least
$2,500,000 over the next quarter to continue to fund operations. We
prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which
contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not yet established
an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and allow us to continue as a going concern. Our ability
to continue as a going concern depends on the ability to obtain adequate capital to fund operating losses until we generate adequate
cash flows from operations to fund its operating costs and obligations. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could
be forced to cease operations. We
depend upon our ability, and will continue to attempt, to secure equity and/or debt financing. We cannot be certain that additional
funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Our management has determined that there is substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification
of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements We
do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates For
a discussion of our accounting policies and related items, please see the notes to the Condensed Unaudited Financial Statements. Recent
Accounting Pronouncements In
August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-15, Disclosure
of Uncertainties about an Entities Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which is included in Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) 205, Presentation of Financial Statements. This update provides an explicit requirement for management to assess an
entity's ability to continue as an ongoing concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The
amendments are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which
the financial statements have not previously been issued. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact
on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The
FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that
arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments
(the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases
with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not
to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases
at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. Public business entities should apply
the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those
fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar year entity). Early application is permitted for all public business
entities and all nonpublic business entities upon issuance. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact
on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The
FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The amendment
is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative and is intended to simplify the accounting around share-based payment award
transactions. The amendments include changing the recording of excess tax benefits from being recognized as a part of surplus
capital to being charged directly to the income statement, changing the classification of excess tax benefits within the statement
of cash flows, and allowing companies to account for forfeitures on an actual basis, as well as tax withholding changes. The amendments
in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those
fiscal years. The amendment requires different transition methods for various components of the standard. Early adoption is permitted.
The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results
of operations. In
November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the
FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This ASU requires that the reconciliation of the beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts
shown in the statement of cash flows include cash and restricted cash equivalents. This ASU is effective for public business entities
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this
standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations In
April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03(ASU 2015-03), Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30):
Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This standard amends the existing guidance to require that debt issuance
costs be presented in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of as a
deferred charge. ASU 2015-03 is effective on a retrospective basis for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015,
but early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial
position and results of operations. There
are other various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application
to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations
or cash flows. QUANTITATIVE

Relationships There

Directorships Other

Proceedings We
are not aware of any of our directors or officers being involved in any legal proceedings in the past ten years relating to any
matters in bankruptcy, insolvency, criminal proceedings (other than traffic and other minor offenses) or being subject to any
of the items set forth under Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K. CORPORATE
GOVERNANCE Governance
of Our Company We
seek to maintain high standards of business conduct and corporate governance, which we believe are fundamental to the overall
success of our business, serving our stockholders well and maintaining our integrity in the marketplace. Our corporate governance
guidelines and Code of Conduct and Ethics, together with our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and the charters for each of
our Board committees, form the basis for our corporate governance framework. We also are subject to certain provisions of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC. The full text of the Code of Conduct and Ethics is available on our
website at www.massroots.com/investors. As
described below, our Board has established three standing committees to assist it in fulfilling its responsibilities to the Company
and its stockholders: The Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Our
Board of Directors Our
Board currently consists of four members. The number of directors on our Board can be evaluated and amended by action of our Board. Our
Board has decided that it would judge the independence of its directors by the heightened standards established by the NASDAQ
Stock Market, despite the Company not being subject to these standards at this time. Accordingly, the Board has determined that
our three non-employee directors, Cecil Kyte, Nathan Shelton and Charles R. Blum each meet the independence standards established
by the NASDAQ Stock Market and the applicable independence rules and regulations of the SEC, including the rules relating to the
independence of the members of our Audit Committee and Compensation Committee. Our Board considers a director to be independent
when the director is not an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries, does not have any relationship which would,
or could reasonably appear to, materially interfere with the independent judgment of such director, and the director otherwise
meets the independence requirements under the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market and the rules and regulations of the
SEC. Our
Board believes its members collectively have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills to effectively oversee the
management of our Company, including a high degree of personal and professional integrity, an ability to exercise sound business
judgment on a broad range of issues, sufficient experience and background to have an appreciation of the issues facing our Company,
a willingness to devote the necessary time to their Board and committee duties, a commitment to representing the best interests
of the Company and our stockholders and a dedication to enhancing stockholder value. Risk
Oversight. Our Board oversees the management of risks inherent in the operation of our business and the implementation of
our business strategies. Our Board performs this oversight role by using several different levels of review. In connection with
its reviews of the operations and corporate functions of our Company, our Board addresses the primary risks associated with those
operations and corporate functions. In addition, our Board reviews the risks associated with our Company’s business strategies
periodically throughout the year as part of its consideration of undertaking any such business strategies. Each of our Board committees
also coordinates oversight of the management of our risk that falls within the committee’s areas of responsibility. In performing
this function, each committee has full access to management, as well as the ability to engage advisors. The Board is also provided
with updates by the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers of the Company on a regular basis. Shareholder
Communications. Although we do not have a formal policy regarding communications with the Board, stockholders may communicate
with the Board by writing to us at 2420 17th Street, Office 3118, Denver, Colorado 80202, Attention: Legal. Stockholders
who would like their submission directed to a member of the Board may so specify, and the communication will be forwarded, as
appropriate. Please note that the foregoing communication procedure does not apply to (i) stockholder proposals pursuant to Exchange
Act Rule 14a-8 and communications made in connection with such proposals or (ii) service of process or any other notice in a legal
proceeding. Board
Committees On
December 9, 2015, our Board designated the following three committees of the Board: The Audit Committee, the Compensation
Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Audit
Committee. Effective as of December 28, 2017, the Board appointed each of Cecil Kyte, Nathan Shelton and Charles R. Blum as
a member of the Audit Committee. Cecil Kyte is the Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is responsible for, among
other things, overseeing the financial reporting and audit process and evaluating our internal controls over financial reporting.
The Board has determined that Cecil Kyte is an “audit committee financial expert” serving on its Audit Committee.
The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is “independent,” as that term is defined by applicable
SEC rules. In addition, the Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is “independent,” as that
term is defined by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Compensation
Committee. Effective as of December 28, 2017, the Board appointed each of Cecil Kyte, Nathan Shelton and Charles R. Blum as
a member of the Compensation Committee. Cecil Kyte is the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is
responsible for, among other things, establishing and overseeing the Company’s executive and equity compensation programs,
establishing performance goals and objectives, and evaluating performance against such goals and objectives. The Board has determined
that each member of the Compensation Committee is “independent,” as that term is defined by applicable SEC rules.
In addition, the Board has determined that each member of the Compensation Committee is “independent,” as that term
is defined by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee. Effective as of December 28, 2017, the Board appointed each of Cecil Kyte, Nathan Shelton
and Charles R. Blum as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Cecil Kyte is the Chairman of the Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things,
identifying and recommending candidates to fill vacancies occurring between annual stockholder meetings and reviewing the Company’s
policies and programs relating to matters of corporate citizenship, including public issues of significance to the Company and
its stockholders. The Board has determined that each member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is “independent,”
as that term is defined by applicable SEC rules. In addition, the Board has determined that each member of the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee is “independent,” as that term is defined by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Current
copies of the charters of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are available
on our corporate website at https://massroots.com/investors/governance. Director
Independence Our
Common Stock is not listed on any national exchange with a requirement that a majority of our board of directors be independent
and, therefore, the Company is not subject to any director independence requirements. Our Board considers a director to be independent
when the director is not an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries, does not have any relationship which would,
or could reasonably appear to, materially interfere with the independent judgment of such director, and the director otherwise
meets the independence requirements under the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market and the rules and regulations of the
SEC. Under such standards, Isaac Dietrich would not be considered “independent”.

Hunt From
July 19, 2015 to July 9, 2017, Mr. Hunt served as Chief Operating Officer pursuant to an “at-will” agreement. Mr. Hunt
received a salary of $78,000 per year and his agreement could be terminated by either party with or without cause with one month’s
written notice. From January 1, 2015 until July 17, 2015, Mr. Hunt served as an at-will employee with a salary
of $3,500 per month. From July 17, 2015 to March 31, 2016, Mr. Hunt was paid a salary of $6,500 per month.
From April 1, 2016 until September 30, 2016, Mr. Hunt was paid a salary of $10,833 per month. From October 1, 2016
and thereafter, Mr. Hunt was paid a salary of $7,500 per month. In
addition, on January 1, 2015, the Company approved the issuance to Mr. Hunt 50,000 shares of Common Stock and 100,000
options to purchase shares of Common Stock at $0.50 per share pursuant to the 2014 Plan, which would vest over the period of one
year on a monthly basis. The fair market value was calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model, assuming approximately
2.17% risk-free interest, 0% dividend yield, 1.50% volatility, and an expected term of 5.25 years. On
December 14, 2015, the Board approved a grant of 800,000 unvested options to purchase shares of Common Stock at $1.00
per share to Mr. Hunt pursuant to the 2015 Plan, which vest as follows: upon the Company reaching 1,000,000 registered Users,
200,000 options shall vest; upon the Company reaching 2,500,000 registered Users, 200,000 options shall vest; upon the Company
reaching $1,000,000 in cumulative revenue, 200,000 options shall vest; and, upon the Company reaching $2,500,000 in cumulative
revenue, 200,000 options shall vest. The fair market value was calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model. Under
this model, the fair market value of the 200,000 options that vest upon the Company reaching 1,000,000 register Users was calculated
assuming approximately 2.23% risk-free interest, 0% dividend yield, 280% volatility, and expected term of 5.25 years. No cost
was recognized in 2015 for the other 600,000 options as the probability of achieving those targets was not estimable. As of December 31, 2016,
200,000 options had vested. On
that same date, the Company’s Board approved the grant of 200,000 unvested restricted shares to Mr. Hunt. However,
pursuant to the 2015 Plan, the grant did not occur until stockholder approval of the 2015 Plan became effective, which occurred
in January 2016. As such, this grant has been included as compensation for Mr. Hunt in fiscal year 2016. On
December 19, 2016, the Board approved a grant of unvested options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock
at $0.86 per share to Mr. Hunt pursuant to the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (“2017 Plan”), which vest as follows:
(i) 83,333 options on the first day of each of January, February, April, May, July, August, October and November of 2017;
and (ii) 83,334 options on the first day of each of March, June, September and December of 2017. Because no options vested
in fiscal year 2016, this grant was included as compensation for Mr. Hunt in fiscal year 2017. On
July 9, 2017, Mr. Hunt resigned as Chief Operating Officer. Lance
Galey Lance
Galey provided services to us as our Chief Technology Officer pursuant to an “at-will” agreement that became effective
June 20, 2016. Under this agreement, Mr. Galey began receiving a salary of $60,000 per year on November 1, 2016 and
his agreement could be terminated by either party with or without cause with one month’s written notice. On
October 3, 2016, pursuant to the Company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (“2016 Plan”), the Board granted
Mr. Galey a stock grant of 600,000 unvested restricted shares of Common Stock (the “Galey Stock Award”) and unvested
options to purchase up to 600,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.51 which will expire ten years from issuance
(the “Galey Option Award”). The Galey Stock Award will vest as follows: (i) 300,000 shares will vest on October 3, 2016
and (i) 50,000 shares will vest on the first day of each month from November 2016 through April 2017. On
December 19, 2016, the Board approved a grant of unvested options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock
at $0.86 per share pursuant to the 2017 Plan to Mr. Galey pursuant to the 2017 Plan, which vest as follows: (i) 83,333 options
on the first day of each of January, February, April, May, July, August, October and November of 2017; and (ii) 83,334 options
on the first day of each of March, June, September and December of 2017. Because no options vested in fiscal year 2016, this
grant was included as compensation for Mr. Galey in fiscal year 2017. On
July 22, 2017, Lance Galey resigned as Chief Technology Officer of the Company. Compensation
Adjustments On
March 29, 2016, our Board, upon the recommendation of the Company’s Compensation Committee, approved increases
in the salary of Mr. Dietrich and Mr. Hunt, such that each would receive $10,833 per month for their services in their
respective positions. On
October 5, 2016, our Board, upon the recommendation of the Company’s Compensation Committee, approved adjustments
to several officers’ compensation packages. Specifically, in connection with the Board’s expense reduction initiatives,
the Board approved (i) a decrease of the annual salary of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Isaac Dietrich, to $95,000
per year from $130,000 per year; (ii) a decrease of the annual salary of the Company’s former Chief Operating Officer, Dan
Hunt, to $90,000 per year from $130,000 per year; and (iii) a decrease of the annual salary of the Company’s Chief Technology
Officer, Lance Galey, to $60,000 per year from $150,000 per year. In
addition to the salary decrease, Mr. Galey agreed to waive $51,785 in salary which he had earned but deferred payment of
in connection with the Board’s approval of the Galey Stock Award and the Galey Option Award. At
no time during the periods listed in the above tables, with respect to any named executive officers, was there: ·
any outstanding option or other equity-based award re-priced or otherwise materially modified (such as by extension of exercise
periods, the change of vesting or forfeiture conditions, the change or elimination of applicable performance criteria, or the
change of the bases upon which returns are determined); ·
any waiver or modification of any specified performance target, goal or condition to payout with respect to any amount included
in non-stock incentive plan compensation or payouts; ·
any non-equity incentive plan award made to a named executive officer; ·
any nonqualified deferred compensation plans including nonqualified defined contribution plans; or ·
any payment for any item to be included under All Other Compensation (column (i)) in the Summary Compensation Table. Director
Compensation Our
interested, employee directors do not receive any additional compensation for their service as directors. The
following table shows for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, certain information with respect to the compensation
of all non-employee directors of the Company: On
December 9, 2015, in exchange for his service as a Director, the Board approved the issuance to Mr. Terence Fitch,
pursuant to the 2015 Employee Incentive Plan, unvested options to purchase up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $0.90 per share that will expire ten years from date of issuance and vest monthly over the period of one year, beginning
January 1, 2016. On
that same date, the Company’s Board approved the grant of 100,000 shares to Mr. Fitch. However, pursuant to the 2015
Plan (defined below), the grant would not occur until shareholder approval of the 2015 Plan became effective, which occurred in
January 2016 (as described further in the section below entitled “2014 and 2015 Equity Incentive Plans”). As
such, this grant was included as compensation for Mr. Fitch in fiscal year 2016. On
June 6, 2014, each of Ean Seeb and Tripp Keber received the following pursuant to our 2014 Plan for their service as a director:
(i) a stock award of 250,000 shares of our Common Stock and (ii) options to purchase up to 750,000 shares of our Common Stock
at $0.10 per share which vest as follows: As
of December 31, 2015, 250,000 options held by each of Messrs. Seeb and Keber had vested and were available for exercise.
No additional grants were made to Messrs. Keber and Seeb during 2015. The fair market value was calculated using the Black-Scholes
options pricing model, assuming approximately 2.61% risk-free interest, 0% dividend yield, 150% volatility, and expected life
of 10 years. On
December 19, 2016, the Board approved a grant of unvested options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock
at $0.86 per share pursuant to the 2017 Plan to each of Messrs. Seeb, Keber and Fitch which vest as follows for each such recipient:
(i) 83,333 options on the first day of each of January, February, April, May, July, August, October and November of 2017; and
(ii) 83,334 options on the first day of each of March, June, September and December of 2017. Because no options vested in fiscal
year 2016, this grant will be included as compensation for Messrs. Seeb, Keber and Fitch in fiscal year 2017. Indemnification
of Officers and Directors Our
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that we shall indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in
connection with actions or proceedings brought against them by reason of their serving or having served as officers, directors
or in other capacities. We shall be required to indemnify a director or officer in connection with an action or proceeding commenced
by such director or officer only if the commencement of such action or proceeding by the director or officer was authorized in
advance by the Board of Directors. We
currently maintain director’s and officer’s liability insurance having a total aggregate limit of liability of $1,000,000,
and an umbrella policy for up to $1,000,000 in excess coverage. Our
Equity Incentive Plans Our
stockholders approved our 2014 Plan in June 2014, our 2015 Plan in December 2015, our 2016 Plan in October 2016 and our 2017 Plan
in December 2016. The 2014 Plan, 2015 Plan, 2016 Plan and 2017 Plan are referred to as the “Plans”. The Plans are
identical, except for number of shares reserved for issuance under each such plan. The
Plans provide for the grant of incentive stock options to our employees and our subsidiary’s employees, and for the grant
of nonstatutory stock options, stock bonus awards, restricted stock awards, performance stock awards and other forms of stock
compensation to our employees, including officers, consultants and directors. Our Plans also provide that the grant of performance
stock awards may be paid out in cash as determined by the Committee (as defined herein). The
following table and information below sets forth information as of February 12, 2018 on our Plans: Number
of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights (a) Weighted-average
exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and rights (b) Number
of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans
(excluding securities reflected in column (a)) (c)
Summary
of the Plans Authorized
Shares. A
total of 4,000,000 shares of our Common Stock are reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2014 Plan. A total of 4,500,000 shares
of our Common Stock are reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2015 Plan. A total of 6,000,000 shares of our Common Stock are reserved
for issuance pursuant to the 2016 Plan. A total of 25,000,000 shares of our Common Stock are reserved for issuance pursuant to
the 2017 Plan. Shares issued under our Plans may be authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of our Common Stock. Shares subject
to stock awards granted under our Plans that expire or terminate without being exercised in full, or that are paid out in cash
rather than in shares, will not reduce the number of shares available for issuance under our Plans. Additionally, shares issued
pursuant to stock awards under our Plans that we repurchase or that are forfeited, as well as shares reacquired by us as consideration
for the exercise or purchase price of a stock award, will become available for future grant under our Plans. Administration.
Our
Board, or a duly authorized committee thereof (the “Committee”), has the authority to administer our Plans. Our Board
may also delegate to one or more of our officers the authority to designate employees other than Directors and officers to receive
specified stock, which, in respect to those awards, said officer or officers shall then have all that the Committee would have. Subject
to the terms of our Plans, the Committee has the authority to determine the terms of awards, including recipients, the exercise
price of stock awards, the number of shares subject to each stock award, the fair market value of a share of our Common Stock,
the vesting schedule applicable to the awards, together with any vesting acceleration, the form of consideration, if any, payable
upon exercise or settlement of the stock award and the terms and conditions of the award agreements for use under the Plans. The
Committee has the power to modify outstanding awards under the Plans, subject to the terms of the Plans and applicable law. Subject
to the terms of our Plans, the Committee has the authority to reprice any outstanding option or stock appreciation right, cancel
and re-grant any outstanding option or stock appreciation right in exchange for new stock awards, cash or other consideration,
or take any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), with
the consent of any adversely affected participant. Stock
Options. Stock
options may be granted under the Plans. The exercise price of options granted under our Plans must at least be equal to the fair
market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The term of an incentive stock option may not exceed ten years, except
that with respect to any participant who owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our outstanding stock, the term
must not exceed five years and the exercise price must equal at least 110% of the fair market value on the grant date. The Committee
will determine the methods of payment of the exercise price of an option, which may include cash, shares or other property acceptable
to the Committee, as well as other types of consideration permitted by applicable law. No single participant may receive more
than 25% of the total options awarded in any single year. Subject to the provisions of our Plans, the Committee determines the
other terms of options. Performance
Shares. Performance
shares may be granted under our Plans. Performance shares are awards that will result in a payment to a participant only if performance
goals established by the administrator are achieved or the awards otherwise vest. The Committee will establish organizational
or individual performance goals or other vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which they are
met, will determine the number and/or the value of performance shares to be paid out to participants. After the grant of a performance
share, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance criteria or other vesting provisions for such
performance shares. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay earned performance units or performance shares in the form
of cash, in shares or in some combination thereof, per the terms of the agreement approved by the Committee and delivered to the
participant. This agreement will state all terms and condition of the agreements. Restricted
Stock. The
terms and conditions of any restricted stock awards granted to a participant will be set forth in an award agreement and, subject
to the provisions in the Plans, will be determined by the Committee. Under a restricted stock award, we issue shares of our Common
Stock to the recipient of the award, subject to vesting conditions and transfer restrictions that lapse over time or upon achievement
of performance conditions. The Committee will determine the vesting schedule and performance objectives, if any, applicable to
each restricted stock award. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, the recipient may vote and receive dividends on shares
of restricted stock issued under our Plans. Other
Share-Based Awards and Cash Awards. The
Committee may make other forms of equity-based awards under our Plans, including, for example, deferred shares, stock bonus awards
and dividend equivalent awards. In addition, our Plans authorizes us to make annual and other cash incentive awards based on achieving
performance goals that are pre-established by our compensation committee. Change
in Control. If
the Company is merged or consolidated with another entity or sells or otherwise disposes of substantially all of its assets to
another company while awards or options remain outstanding under the Plans, unless provisions are made in connection with such
transaction for the continuance of the Plans and/or the assumption or substitution of such awards or options with new options
or stock awards covering the stock of the successor company, or parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as
to the number and kind of shares and prices, then all outstanding options and stock awards which have not been continued, assumed
or for which a substituted award has not been granted shall, whether or not vested or then exercisable, unless otherwise specified
in the relevant agreements, terminate immediately as of the effective date of any such merger, consolidation or sale. Change
in Capitalization. If
the Company shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of shares or other capital readjustment, the payment of a stock dividend,
or other increase or reduction of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding, without receiving consideration therefore
in money, services or property, then awards amounts, type, limitations, and other relevant consideration shall be appropriately
and proportionately adjusted. The Committee shall make such adjustments, and its determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive. Plan
Amendment or Termination. Our
Board has the authority to amend, suspend, or terminate our Plans, provided that such action does not materially impair the existing
rights of any participant without such participant’s written consent. The Plans will terminate ten years after the earlier
of (i) the date that each Plan was adopted by the Board, or (ii) the date that each Plan was approved by the stockholders, except
that awards that are granted under the applicable Plan prior to its termination will continue to be administered under the terms
of the that Plan until the awards terminate, expire or are exercised. SECURITY
OWNERSHIP OF BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT The
following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock by (i) each person who,
to our knowledge, owns more than 5% of our Common Stock, (ii) each of our current directors and the named executive officer identified
under the heading “Executive Compensation” and (iii) all of our current directors and executive officers as a group.
We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with applicable rules of the SEC, and the information reflected in the table
below is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under applicable SEC rules, beneficial ownership
includes any shares of Common Stock as to which a person has sole or shared voting power or investment power and any shares of
Common Stock which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days after February 12, 2018 through the exercise of any option,
warrant or right or through the conversion of any convertible security. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to the table
below and subject to community property laws where applicable, we believe, based on the information furnished to us that each
of the persons named in this table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated as beneficially owned. The
information set forth in the table below is based on 151,099,833 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding on February
12, 2018. In computing the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that
person, we deemed to be outstanding all shares of Common Stock subject to options, warrants, rights or other convertible securities
held by that person that are currently exercisable or will be exercisable within 60 days after February 12, 2018. We did not deem
these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise
indicated, the principal address of each of the stockholders below is in care of MassRoots, Inc., 2420 17th Street,
Office 3118, Denver, Colorado 80202. Number
of Shares Beneficially Owned

Shares of Common Stock __________________________________________________ PROSPECTUS __________________________________________________ , 2018 MASSROOTS, INC. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TABLE OF CONTENTS REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of MassRoots, Inc. Denver, Colorado We have audited the accompanying balance sheets
of MassRoots, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders’ (deficit) equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with
the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits
included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2016 and 2015,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements,
the Company has a working capital deficit and has negative cash flows from operations. These factors 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 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ Liggett & Webb, P.A. New York, New York March 31, 2017 MASSROOTS, INC.

See the accompanying notes to the financial statements MASSROOTS, INC. STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS See the accompanying notes to the financial statements MASSROOTS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES A summary of the significant accounting policies
applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows. Business and organization MassRoots, Inc. (“MassRoots” or
the “Company”) has created a technology platform for the cannabis industry focused on enabling users to share their
cannabis content, follow their favorite dispensaries, and stay connected with the legalization movement. The Company was incorporated
in the State of Delaware on April 26, 2013. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant
estimates include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, the fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based
compensation, fair values relating to derivative liabilities and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual
results may differ from these estimates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as reflected in
the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial
assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial statements
together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit
risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise
only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed. The Company follows ASC subtopic 820-10, Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”) and ASC 825-10, which permits entities to choose to measure many
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows,
the Company considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts The Company monitors outstanding receivables
based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. The allowance for
doubtful accounts is estimated based on an assessment of the Company’s ability to collect on customer accounts receivable.
There is judgment involved with estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts and if the financial condition of the Company’s
customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make the required payments, the Company may be required to record
additional allowances or charges against revenues. The Company writes-off accounts receivable against the allowance when it determines
a balance is uncollectible and no longer actively pursues its collection. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015,
based upon the review of the outstanding accounts receivable, the Company has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts
is not required.
MASSROOTS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015 Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments and related items, which
potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company
places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such amounts may be in excess of the
FDIC insurance limit. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, deposits in excess of FDIC limits were $124,490 and $136,316,
respectively. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when services
are realized or realizable and earned less estimated future doubtful accounts. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable
and earned when all of the following criteria are met: The Company primarily generates revenue by charging
businesses to advertise on the network. The Company has the ability to target advertisements directly to a
clients’ target audience, based on their location, on their mobile devices. In cases where clients sign advertising
contracts for an extended period of time, the Company only realizes revenue for services provided during that period and
defers all other revenue to future periods. The Company’s secondary source of income
is merchandise sales. The objective with the sales is not to generate large profit margins, but to help offset the cost of marketing.
Each t-shirt, sticker and jar the Company sells will likely lead to more downloads and active users. At December 31, 2016 and 2015,
the Company had deferred revenues of $27,010 and $0, respectively. Cost of Revenue The Company’s main cost of revenue originates
from its merchandise store, where often times the Company realizes low profit margins and is not the main focus of the Company. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost
and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of three to five years. When retired or otherwise
disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference
less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. Long-Lived Assets The Company follows ASC 360-10-15-3, “Impairment
or Disposal of Long-lived Assets,” which established a “primary asset” approach to determine the cash flow estimation
period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used. Long-lived
assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds
the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Long-lived
assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. MASSROOTS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015 Derivative Financial Instruments The Company classifies as equity any contracts
that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) provide the Company with a choice of net-cash settlement
or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) providing that such contracts are indexed to the
Company’s own stock. The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement
(including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the Company’s control)
or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement).
The Company assesses classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivatives at each reporting
date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required. U.S. GAAP requires companies to bifurcate
conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according
to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative
instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid
instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under
otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and
(c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.
An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable
ASC 480-10: Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments: Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. When the Company has determined that the embedded
conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible
notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value
of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the
note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption. The Company’s free standing derivatives
consisted of warrants to purchase common stock that were issued in connection with the issuance of debt and of embedded conversion
options with convertible debentures. The Company evaluated these derivatives to assess their proper classification in the balance
sheet as of December 31, 2016 using the applicable classification criteria enumerated under ASC 815, Derivatives and
Hedging. The Company determined that certain embedded conversion and/or exercise features do not contain fixed settlement provisions. Certain
outstanding warrants at December 31, 2016 contain an anti-dilutive (reset) feature such that the Company could not ensure
it would have adequate authorized shares to meet all possible conversion demands. Stock Based Compensation The Company measures the cost of services
received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the
fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured
on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized
over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share The Company computes earnings (loss) per share under ASC 260-10,
Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”). Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution
that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury
stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable. MASSROOTS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015 The computation of basic and diluted income
(loss) per share as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 excludes potentially dilutive securities when their inclusion
would be anti-dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the
period. Potentially dilutive securities excluded from
the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows: Advertising The Company follows the policy of charging
the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. The Company charged to operations $985,342 and $717,773 as advertising costs
for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Income Taxes The Company follows ASC 740-10, Income Taxes
(“ASC 740-10”) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based
upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal
tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or
benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to
reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance
are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary
differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or
non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising
from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on
the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse and are considered immaterial. Reclassification Certain reclassifications have been made to
the prior years’ data to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income
(losses). Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entities Ability to
Continue as a Going Concern, which is included in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205, Presentation of Financial Statements.
This update provides an explicit requirement for management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern,
and to provide related footnote disclosure in certain circumstances. MASSROOTS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015 The amendments are effective for annual periods
ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016.
Early application is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously
been issued. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position
and results of operations. The FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic
842). ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should
recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset
representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of twelve months or less, a lessee
is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities.
In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented
using a modified retrospective approach. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar
year entity). Early application is permitted for all public business entities and all nonpublic business entities upon issuance.
The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results
of operations. The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09,
“Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The amendment is part of the FASB’s simplification
initiative and is intended to simplify the accounting around share-based payment award transactions. The amendments include changing
the recording of excess tax benefits from being recognized as a part of surplus capital to being charged directly to the income
statement, changing the classification of excess tax benefits within the statement of cash flows, and allowing companies to account
for forfeitures on an actual basis, as well as tax withholding changes. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendment requires
different transition methods for various components of the standard. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard
is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.
2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This
ASU requires that the reconciliation of the beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts shown in the statement of cash flows
include cash and restricted cash equivalents. This ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03
(ASU 2015-03), Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance
Costs. This standard amends the existing guidance to require that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as
a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of as a deferred charge. ASU 2015-03 is effective
on a retrospective basis for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, but early adoption
is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results
of operations. There are other various updates recently issued,
most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not
expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
MASSROOTS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015
NOTE 2 –GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S
LIQUIDITY PLANS As of December 31, 2016, the Company
had cash of $374,490 and working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $1,332,902. During
the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company used net cash in operating activities of $6,182,816. These conditions
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that the Company
does not have sufficient funds to meet its funding requirements. In 2016,
the Company sold shares of common stock and warrants for net proceeds of approximately $5,000,000. In addition, the Company
received approximately $1,158,494 from the exercise of common stock warrants and options and $1,420,000 from the issuance of convertible
notes. It is anticipated that the proceeds from the sale of its common stock and warrants and from the warrant exercise will not
provide the Company with cash sufficient to fund operations in 2017. The Company’s primary source of operating
funds since inception has been cash proceeds from private placements of common stock, proceeds from the exercise of warrants and
options and issuance of notes payable. The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception
and expects these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future. The Company has stockholders’ deficiencies at December 31, 2016
and will require additional financing to fund future operations. Management’s plans with regard to these
matters encompass the following actions: (1) obtain funding from new and potentially current investors to alleviate the Company’s
working deficiency, and (2) implement a plan to generate sales. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its
ability to translate its user base into sales. However, the outcome of management’s plans cannot be ascertained with any
degree of certainty. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization
of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented
in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements
do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS To facilitate the integration with dispensary
point of sale systems, in 2015, the Company invested $175,000 in exchange for preferred shares of Flowhub LLC (“Flowhub”),
a seed-to-sale system, equal to 8.95% of the then outstanding equity of Flowhub. The Company currently is working with Flowhub
to integrate their system with the Company’s network. The acquired preferred shares are considered non-marketable securities. In 2016, the Company paid $60,000 acquisition
deposit to acquire DDDitgal LLC. See Subsequent Events Note 13. NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment as of December 31, 2016
and 2015 is summarized as follows: Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2016
and 2015 was $19,451 and $10,174, respectively.
MASSROOTS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015 NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE On March 24, 2014, the Company issued convertible
debentures to certain accredited investors. The total principal amount of the debentures is $269,100 and originally matured on
March 24, 2016 with a 0% interest rate. The debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at
$0.10 per share. In March 2016, the debentures were amended to extend the maturity date to March 24, 2018. In 2016, the Company
issued an aggregate of 1,010,000 shares of its common stock in settlement of 101,000 of outstanding debentures. As of December 31, 2016
and 2015, the aggregate carrying value of the debentures was $108,100 and $209,100, net of debt discounts of $0, respectively. In February 2016, the Company issued to a
service provider a 12 month convertible debenture at 15% interest with a principal amount of $35,000 along with 35,000 3-year
warrants to purchase shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. The convertible debenture is payable at maturity, and convertible
at the investor’s determination at a price equal to 90% of the price of a subsequent public underwritten offering if one
occurs over $5 million, or, if no such subsequent offering occurs, at $0.75 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2016,
the Company issued an aggregate of 343,767 shares in full settlement of the debenture obligation. On March 14, 2016, the Company sold to
investors six (6) month secured convertible original issue discount notes with a principal amount in the aggregate of $1,514,669,
together with five-year warrants to purchase an amount of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of shares
of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the notes in full and having an exercise price of $1.00 per share with reset provisions.
If the Company exercises its right to prepay the note, the Company must make payment to the investor of an amount in cash equal
to the sum of the then outstanding principal amount of the note that it desires to prepay, multiplied by (a) 1.2, during the first
ninety (90) days after the execution of the note, or (b) 1.35, at any point thereafter. The notes are convertible into shares
of the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to the lower of (i) $1.00, and (ii) a 25% discount to the price
at which the Company next conducts an offering after the issuance date of the note; provided, however, for any part of the principal
amount of the note that is not paid at its maturity date, September 14, 2016, the conversion price for such amount is equal
to 65% of the average of the three trading days with the lowest daily weighted average prices of the Company’s common stock
occurring during the fifteen days prior to the notes’ maturity date, September 14, 2016. The notes require that any
net proceeds received in subsequent offerings made by the Company first be used to repay the notes’ outstanding principal
amount. Because the note was not repaid by the maturity date, the investors became entitled to receive, in aggregate, but calculated
pro rata to the principal amounts remaining outstanding at the time of maturity, up to five hundred thousand (500,000) shares
of the Company’s common stock. Gross proceeds received by the Company for the notes and warrants in this offering were $1,420,000,
while net proceeds were $1,271,600 (excluding any legal fees). On September 14, 2016, upon maturity of the notes, the Company
was unable to make the required payment of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of $966,384 and was in default under
the notes. Penalties in aggregate of $584,735 were added to the carrying amount of the notes and were charged to current period
interest. During the year ended December 31, 2016,
the Company paid an aggregate of $1,479,498 cash and issued 1,754,462 shares of its common stock upon conversion of $619,906 of
the debenture obligation and accrued interest. In addition, the Company issued an aggregate of 304,523 shares of its common stock
as penalty shares valued at $163,621 and was charged to current period interest. As of December 31, 2016, the debentures
were paid in full. The Company’s convertible debt is summarized
as follows as of December 31, 2016 and 2015: MASSROOTS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015 NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company identified conversion features
embedded within convertible debt and warrants outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The
Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option and exercise prices, in the form of ratchet
provisions, should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient
number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions. During the third quarter of 2015, the
Company and the convertible debt note and warrant holders agreed to amend terms of the agreements to remove the ratchet provisions.
Accordingly, the Company reclassified the derivative liability to equity classification resulting in an increase to additional
paid in capital by $3,336,109. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the
Company and the holders of warrants previously issued as part of our offering from September 2014 to March 2015 with an exercise
price of $1.00 per share and all other warrant holders agreed to amend the warrants to remove the ratchet provision in exchange
for a warrant of an additional 20% of their original warrant shares at $1.06 per share. This reduced the Company’s derivative
liability by $1,155,199 and increased additional paid in capital by $761,426. On March 17, 2016, upon issuance of the
secured convertible debentures (see Note 5), the Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion
option and reset provisions embedded in the issued warrants, in the form of a ratchet provision, should be accounted for at fair
value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle
all potential future conversion transactions. At the date of inception, the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives
of $1,769,121 using the Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected
volatility of 112.29%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.47% to 1.04% (4) expected life of 0.05 to 5.00 years,
and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $1.04 per share. The estimated fair value of the embedded
derivative of $1,769,121 was charged to debt discount up to the net proceeds of $1,420,000 and amortized over the term of the
debenture with the excess charged to current period interest. On September 14, 2016, upon the maturity
of certain secured convertible debentures (see Note 5), the embedded conversion terms changed. As such, the Company estimated
the fair value of the change in the embedded derivative of $951,254 using the Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following
assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 106.24%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.30%,
(4) expected life of three months, and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $0.51 per share. The estimated
fair value of the embedded derivative of $951,254 was charged to current period interest. On December 31, 2016, the Company
estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $1,301,138 using the Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following
assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 110.39%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 1.47%,
(4) expected life of 4.21 years, and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $1.03 per share. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC
825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”). ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from
selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the
Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants
would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10
establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities. MASSROOTS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015 Level 2 – Observable inputs other than
Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent
transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived
principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the
valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities. All items required to be recorded or measured
on a recurring basis are based upon Level 3 inputs. To the extent that valuation is based on models
or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain
cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure
purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on
the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities
as Level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed below. While the Company believes that its valuation methods
are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions
to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting
date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed are that of volatility
and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015,
the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges. Items recorded or measured at fair value on
a recurring basis in the accompanying financial statements consisted of the following items as of December 31, 2015
and 2016: The following table provides a summary of
changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities for the two years ended December 31, 2016: MASSROOTS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015 Fluctuations in the Company’s stock
price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. As the stock price increases
for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument generally increases, therefore increasing
the liability on the Company’s balance sheet. Additionally, stock price volatility is one of the significant unobservable
inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments. The simulated fair value of these
liabilities is sensitive to changes in the Company’s expected volatility. Increases in expected volatility would generally
result in higher fair value measurement. A 10% change in pricing inputs and changes in volatilities and correlation factors would
not result in a material change in our Level 3 fair value. NOTE 7 – CAPITAL STOCK Preferred stock The Company
is authorized to issue 21 Series A preferred shares at $1.00 par value per share with 1:1 conversion and voting rights. As of
December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no shares of Series A preferred shares issued and outstanding. Common stock The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000

Option Pricing Model, assuming approximately 1.75% to 2.10% risk-free interest, 0% dividend yield, 107.63% to 119.16% volatility,
and expected life of five to ten years and will be charged to operations over the vesting terms of the options. During the year ended December 31, 2015,
the Company granted options to purchase 3,925,000 for seven to ten years. The fair value of $3,197,634, was determined using the
Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, assuming approximately 0.48% to 2.53% risk-free interest, 0% dividend yield, 119.43% to 129.88%
volatility, and expected life of seven to ten years and will be charged to operations over the vesting terms of the options. The summary terms of the issuances are as
follows: MASSROOTS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015 Stock options outstanding and exercisable
on December 31, 2016 are as follows: A summary of the stock option activity
for the two years ended December 31, 2016: MASSROOTS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015 The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding
stock options was based on options with an exercise price less than the Company’s stock price of $1.03 as of December 31, 2016,
which would have been received by the option holders had those option holders exercised their options as of that date. Option valuation models require the input
of highly subjective assumptions. The fair value of stock-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option model
with a volatility figure derived from an index of historical stock prices of comparable entities until sufficient data exists
to estimate the volatility using the Company’s own historical stock prices. Management determined this assumption to
be a more accurate indicator of value. The Company accounts for the expected life of options based on the contractual life of
options for non-employees. The fair value of all options vesting during
the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 of $3,112,156 and $1,273,393, respectively. Unrecognized compensation
expense of $5,185,927 at December 31, 2016 will be expensed in future periods. NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Operating leases On April 14, 2015, the Company completed
the relocation of its headquarters to 1624 Market Street, Suite 201, Denver, CO 80202 which the Company leased on March 20, 2015
pursuant to a lease agreement with RVOF Market Center, LLC (“201 Lease”). Under the 201 Lease, MassRoots agreed to
rent 3,552 square feet of office space at that location for a term of 37 months, under which the Company will pay a base rate
of $0 for the first month, $8,288 for months two through 13, $8,584 for months 14 through 25, and $8,880 for months 26 through
37. The Company did not incur a significant cost related to the move to this location. The Company amended this lease in January
2016 to include Suite 203, also located at 1624 Market Street in Denver, CO 80202, which allows us to expand our headquarters
by an additional 1,508 square feet of office space. For this expansion (and in addition to the rent paid under the 201 Lease),
the Company will pay $0 until May 30, 2016, $3,644 for each month from June 1, 2016 to May 30, 2017, $3,770 for each
month from June 1, 2017 to May 30, 2018, and $3,896 for each month from June 1, 2018 to November 30, 2018. Pursuant to the amendment,
the lease on suite 201 was extended to November 30, 2018 Rent expense charged to operations during
the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $138,818 and $64,438, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under these
two agreements are as follows: Litigation The Company is subject at times to other legal
proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions or
settlements may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters should not have a material adverse effect
on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity. There was no outstanding litigation as of December 31, 2016.
MASSROOTS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015 NOTE 11 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS On August 31, 2016, Isaac Dietrich, the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer, participated in the Company’s registered offering that took place beginning August
12, 2016 and continued until October 24, 2016, whereby Mr. Dietrich purchased $5,000 of the Company’s securities
consisting of 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 10,000 shares at $0.90 per share. NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES At December 31, 2016, the Company
has available for federal income tax purposes a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $12,500,000, expiring in the
year 2036, that may be used to offset future taxable income. The Company has provided a valuation reserve against the full amount
of the net operating loss benefit, since in the opinion of management based upon the earnings history of the Company; it is more
likely than not that the benefits will not be realized. Due to possible significant changes in the Company’s ownership,
the future use of its existing net operating losses may be limited. All or portion of the remaining valuation allowance may
be reduced in future years based on an assessment of earnings sufficient to fully utilize these potential tax benefits. During
the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company has increased the valuation allowance from $2,374,000 to $4,946,000. Tax position that meet the more likely than
not threshold are then measured using a probability weighted approach recognizing the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater
than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company had no tax positions relating to open income tax returns
that were considered to be uncertain. Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provide for annual limitations on the utilization of net operating loss and
credit carryforwards if the Company were to undergo an ownership change, as defined in Section 382 of the Code. In general, an
ownership change occurs whenever the percentage of the shares of a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by 5-percent shareholders,
as defined in Section 382 of the Code, increases by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of the shares of
such corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by such 5-percent shareholders at any time over the preceding three years. In
the event such ownership change occurs, the annual limitation may result in the expiration of the net operating losses prior to
full utilization. The Company is required to file income tax
returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and in Colorado. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities
for tax years ending before December 31, 2012. The Company’s deferred taxes as of December 31, 2016
and 2015 consist of the following: MASSROOTS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015

Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-Business
Combinations (“ASC 805”). The Company assigns to all identifiable assets acquired a portion of the cost of the acquired

of the acquired company over the sum of the amounts assigned to identifiable assets acquired as goodwill. The Company recorded goodwill in the aggregate
amount of $4,971,991 as a result of the acquisitions of DDDitgal and Odava during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The
Company accounts for and reports acquired goodwill under ASC subtopic 350-10, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350-10”).
In accordance with ASC 350-10, at least annually, the Company tests its intangible assets for impairment or more often if events

2 –GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS As of September 30, 2017, the Company had cash
of $267,322 and working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $2,377,272. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2017, the Company used net cash in operating activities of $7,200,176. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In the
first nine months of 2017, the Company received $4,753,196, $942,500, $1,198,000 and $442,500 from the exercise of common stock
warrants, proceeds from issuance of convertible notes, sale of common stock and related party advances, respectively. The
Company does not have cash sufficient to fund operations. The
Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from private placements of common stock,
proceeds from the exercise of warrants and options and issuance of notes payable. The Company has experienced net losses and negative
cash flows from operations since inception and expects these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future. The Company will
require additional financing to fund future operations. MASSROOTS,

30, 2017 (unaudited) Management’s plans with regard to these
matters encompass the following actions: 1) obtain funding from new and potentially current investors to alleviate the Company’s
working capital deficiency, and 2) implement a plan to generate sales. The Company’s
continued existence is dependent upon its ability to translate its user base into sales. However, the outcome of management’s
plans cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty. Accordingly,
the accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates
continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course
of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to
represent realizable or settlement values. The unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not include any adjustment
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. NOTE
3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles
of Consolidation The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MassRoots, Inc. and its wholly owned operating
subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Use
of Estimates The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include stock-based compensation,
fair values relating to derivative liabilities and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may
differ from these estimates. Fair
Value of Financial Instruments Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure
of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity
of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are
either recognized or disclosed in the financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment
of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. The
Company follows ASC 825-10, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at
fair value. Cash
and Cash Equivalents For
purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months
or less to be cash equivalents. Property
and Equipment Property
and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years.
When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts
and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings.

· Identity
Management. Social networks such as MassRoots collect a significant amount of metadata
on its users. Blockchain has the potential to streamline the collection and organization
of such data while eliminating traditional security risks. This would enable advertisers
to better target consumers, reduce the risk of security breaches, and enable the development
of solutions that better serve the MassRoots community.
· Eliminating
Intermediaries. In the sharing economy as it exists today, buyers and sellers have
to go through intermediaries to conduct a transaction. For example, people use AirBnB
for short-term housing rentals and Uber for ride-sharing. The blockchain enables peer-to-peer
transactions without third parties, meaning that personal and business reputation can
be verified and therefore are more reliable. In addition, the blockchain may eliminate
the costs associated with intermediaries. MassRoots Blockchain is exploring such technology
can be applied to producers of cannabis and the dispensaries that purchase from them.
· Smart
Contracts. Blockchain enables the development of contracts that are automatically
executed when certain parameters are met. For example, a dispensary can automatically
order more supply of a particular strain when its inventory reaches a certain threshold.
The smart contract has the potential to add efficiency to the supply chain and resource
planning processes within the cannabis industry.
· Seed-To-Sale
Traceability. Distributed ledger technology provides a greater degree of reliability
and accuracy on the metadata associated with products such as times, dates, locations,
quantities, all of which have the potential to reduce friction in the cannabis market-place,
save businesses valuable resources, and provide greater transparency to government regulators. According
to an article published by Bloomberg Technology in November 2017, IBM is also exploring
how blockchain can improve seed-to-sale traceability in the cannabis market. MassRoots
Blockchain is exploring how this new technology can improve its point-of- sale system,
MassRoots Retail, formerly known as Odava. 29
· Corporate
Governance. Blockchain has the potential to make the validation and results of elections
fully-transparent and immediately accessible online. MassRoots Blockchain is exploring
how distributed-ledger technology can be applied to voting at stockholders’ meetings
thereby providing our stockholders with a greater degree of transparency and communication. 30 31

· The
Federal government and many private employers prohibit drug use of any kind, including
cannabis, even where it is permissible under state law. Random drug screenings and potential
enforcement of such employment provisions may significantly reduce the size of the potential
cannabis market;
· Enforcement
of Federal law prohibiting cannabis occurs randomly and often without notice. This could
scare many potential investors away from cannabis-related investments and makes it difficult
to make accurate market predictions;
· On
January 4, 2018, the Department of Justice issued the Sessions Memo announcing a return
to the rule of law and the rescission of previous guidance documents. The Sessions Memo
rescinded the Cole Memo. Although there is no guarantee that additional states will pass
measures to legalize cannabis use under state law, the Sessions Memo may further deter
states from passing such measures. Furthermore, irrespective of the Sessions Memo, in
many states, public support of legalization initiatives may not maintain enough support
to pass. This is especially true when a supermajority is needed to pass measures, like
in Florida where a state constitutional amendment permitting medical cannabis has been
proposed, but requires 60% approval to pass. Changes due to the Sessions Memo and in
voters’ attitudes and turnout have the potential to slow or stop the cannabis legalization
movement and potentially reverse recent cannabis legalization victories;
· There
has been some resistance and negativity as a result of recent cannabis legalization at
the state level, especially as it relates to drugged driving. The lack of clearly defined
and enforced laws at the state level has the potential to sway public opinion against
marijuana legalization; and
· In
the event that the Federal government does not enforce the Federal law prohibiting cannabis,
the legality of the state laws regarding the legalization of cannabis are being challenged
through lawsuits. Lawsuits have been brought by private groups and local law enforcement
officials. If these lawsuits are successful, state laws permitting cannabis sales may
be overturned which will significantly reduce the size of the potential cannabis market
and have a material adverse effect on our business. 33
· cannabis
is not being distributed to minors and dispensaries are not located around schools and
public buildings;
· the
proceeds from sales are not going to gangs, cartels or criminal enterprises;
· cannabis
grown in states where it is legal is not being diverted to other states;
· cannabis-related
businesses are not being used as a cover for sales of other illegal drugs or illegal
activity;
· There
is not any violence or use of firearms in the cultivation and sale of marijuana;
· there
is strict enforcement of drugged-driving laws and adequate prevention of adverse health
consequences; and
· cannabis
is not grown, used, or possessed on Federal properties. 34
· Users
must agree that they are located in a state where medical-use or adult-use of cannabis
is legal;
· Users
must be of legal age to consume cannabis in their particular state (18 or 21 years old,
depending on the state);
· Users
may only post content that is in compliance with their state’s laws;
· Users
may not solicit or distribute cannabis through MassRoots unless they are a licensed dispensary;

· Legal
expenses increased during the year ended December 31, 2016 to $295,325 from
$223,548 during the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase was primarily
a result of additional costs associated with our Registration Statement filed in 2016
and our March 2016 Note Offering.
· Independent
contractor expenses decreased from $144,452 during fiscal year 2015 to $72,183 during
fiscal year 2016 due to our initiative to bring all programing and development in house
in 2015.
· During
fiscal year 2016, MassRoots incurred $2,112,690 in consulting and accounting related
expenses as compared to $345,411 in fiscal year 2015. This increase was primarily caused
by increased investor relations and other professionals in establishing a market for
our Common Stock.
· Travel
and related expenses increased to $188,723 in fiscal year 2016 from $182,929 during the
same period in 2015. Over the course of the year, the MassRoots team attended over 25
conferences and hundreds of meetings with cannabis related businesses that have built
the relationships necessary for our Company to grow.

(1) The
Company believes that each shareholder has sole voting and investment power with respect
to the shares of Common Stock listed, except as otherwise noted. The number of shares
beneficially owned by each shareholder is determined under the rules of the SEC, and
the information is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under
these rules, beneficial ownership includes (i) any shares as to which the person has
sole or shared voting power or investment power and (ii) any shares which the individual
has the right to acquire within 60 days after February 12, 2018 through the exercise
of any stock option, warrant, conversion of preferred stock or other right, but such
shares are deemed to be outstanding only for the purposes of computing the percentage
ownership of the person that beneficially owns such shares and not for any other person
shown in the table. The inclusion herein of any shares of Common Stock deemed beneficially
owned does not constitute an admission by such stockholder of beneficial ownership of
those shares of Common Stock.
(2) Based
on 151,099,833 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of February 12, 2018.
(3)
Includes 17,738,831 shares of Common Stock. Excludes warrants to purchase up to 85,000 shares of Common Stock. The forgoing warrants contains an ownership limitation such that the holder may not convert any of such securities to the extent that such conversion would result in the holder’s beneficial ownership being in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock together with all shares owned by the holder and its affiliates.
(5) Includes
(i) 750,000 shares of Common Stock and (ii) an option to purchase up to 750,000 shares
of Common Stock. 59 60 61

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company monitors outstanding receivables based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on an assessment of the Company’s ability to collect on customer accounts receivable. There is judgment involved with estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts and if the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make the required payments, the Company may be required to record additional allowances or charges against revenues. The Company writes-off accounts receivable against the allowance when it determines a balance is uncollectible and no longer actively pursues its collection. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, based upon the review of the outstanding accounts receivable, the Company has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts is not required.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when services are realized or realizable and earned less estimated future doubtful accounts. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:
(i) | persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, | |
(ii) | the services have been rendered and all required milestones achieved, | |
(iii) | the sales price is fixed and determinable, and | |
(iv) | collectability is reasonably assured. |
The Company primarily generates revenue by charging businesses to advertise on the network. The Company has the ability to target advertisements directly to a clients’ target audience, based on their location, on their mobile devices. In cases where clients sign advertising contracts for an extended period of time, the Company only realizes revenue for services provided during that quarter and defers all other revenue to future quarters.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.
Income Taxes
The Company follows ASC subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes- (“ASC 740-10”) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
(unaudited)
If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods.
Convertible Instruments
U.S. GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under ASC 480-10.
When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company classifies as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) provide the Company with a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) providing that such contracts are indexed to the Company’s own stock. The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the Company’s control) or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company assesses classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.
The Company’s free standing derivatives consisted of warrants to purchase common stock that were issued in connection with the issuance of debt and sale of common stock, and of embedded conversion options with convertible debentures. The Company evaluated these derivatives to assess their proper classification in the balance sheet as of September 30, 2017 using the applicable classification criteria enumerated under ASC 815-Derivatives and Hedging. The Company determined that certain embedded conversion and/or exercise features do not contain fixed settlement provisions. The convertible debentures contain a conversion feature such that the Company could not ensure it would have adequate authorized shares to meet all possible conversion demands.
As such, the Company was required to record the derivatives which do not have fixed settlement provisions as liabilities and mark to market all such derivatives to fair value at the end of each reporting period.

Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its property and equipment and any identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The test for impairment is required to be performed by management at least annually. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted operating cash flow expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill Assets
The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.
The Company tests for indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding the method to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company currently has one reportable segment for financial reporting purposes, which represents the Company’s core business.
Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share under ASC subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”). Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable.
The computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share as of September 30, 2017 and 2016 excludes potentially dilutive securities when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period.
Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:
September 30, 2017 | September 30, 2016 | |||||||
Common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible debentures | 3,538,894 | 2,744,432 | ||||||

Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ data to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income (losses).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There are other various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued.
NOTE 4 – INVESTMENTS
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying value of our investments in privately held companies totaled $403,249 and $235,000, respectively. These investments are accounted for as cost method investments, as we own less than 20% of the voting securities and do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the entities.
To facilitate the integration with dispensary point of sale systems, in 2015, the Company invested $175,000 in exchange for preferred shares of Flowhub LLC (“Flowhub”), a seed-to-sale system, equal to 8.95% of the then outstanding equity of Flowhub. The acquired preferred shares are considered non-marketable securities. On May 12, 2017, the Company sold its preferred shares in Flowhub for net proceeds of $250,000.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
On March 24, 2014, the Company issued convertible debentures to certain accredited investors. The total principal amount of the debentures is $269,100 and originally matured on March 24, 2016 with a 0% interest rate. The debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.10 per share. In March 2016, the debentures were amended to extend the maturity date to March 24, 2018. In 2016, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,010,000 shares of its common stock in settlement of $101,000 of outstanding debentures and during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,081,000 shares of its common stock in settlement of $108,100 of outstanding debentures
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the aggregate carrying value of the debentures was $0 and $108,100, net of debt discounts of $0, respectively.
On August 17, 2017, the Company issued convertible notes to certain accredited investors. The total principal amount of the notes is $1,045,000 and matures on February 18, 2018 with 0% interest rate. Net proceeds received were $942,500 after deduction of legal and other fees. If the Company exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Company shall make payment to the Investor of an amount in cash equal to the sum of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note that it desires to prepay, multiplied by (a) 1.1, during the first ninety (90) days after the execution of this Note, or (b) 1.25, at any point thereafter.
The Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to the lower of (i) seventy five cents ($0.75), and (ii) a 25% discount to the price at which the Company next conducts an offering after the issuance date of the Note; provided, however, if any part of the principal amount of the Note remains unpaid at its Maturity Date (as defined in the Note), the conversion price will be equal to 65% of the average of the three trading days with the lowest daily weighted average prices of the Company’s common stock occurring during the fifteen days prior to the Notes’ Maturity Date.
In connection with the issuance of the notes, the Company and the Investors also entered into a Security Agreement, whereby the Notes are secured with all the assets of the Company currently held or hereafter acquired.
In connection with the issuance of the notes, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,090,000 warrants to purchase an amount of shares of the Company’s common stock with an initial exercise price of $0.50, expiring five years from the date of issuance. The warrants contain certain anti-dilutive (reset) provisions.
On August 17, 2017, upon issuance of the secured convertible notes and warrants, the Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option and reset provisions embedded in the issued warrants, in the form of a ratchet provision, should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions.

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company identified conversion features embedded within convertible debt and certain warrants outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and year ended December 31, 2016. The Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option and exercise prices, in the form of ratchet provisions, should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions.
On March 17, 2016, upon issuance of the secured convertible debentures, the Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option and reset provisions embedded in the issued warrants, in the form of a ratchet provision, should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions. At the date of inception, the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $1,769,121 using the Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 112.29%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.47% to 1.04% (4) expected life of 0.05 to 5.00 years, and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $1.04 per share. The estimated fair value of the embedded derivative of $1,769,121 was charged to debt discount up to the net proceeds of $1,420,000 and amortized over the term of the debenture with the excess charged to current period interest.
On December 31, 2016, the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $1,301,138 using the Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 110.39%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 1.47%, (4) expected life of 4.21 years, and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $1.03 per share.
On January 4, 2017, warrant holders exercised outstanding warrants for 682,668 shares of Common Stock, and as such the Company transferred to estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives of $610,967 from liability to equity. The Company estimated the fair value at the time of exercise using the Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 110.13%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 1.94%, (4) expected life of 4.20 years, and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $1.07 per share.
On July 21, 2017, upon issuance of the warrants in connection with the sale of common stock, the Company has determined that the features associated with the reset provisions embedded in the issued warrants, in the form of a ratchet provision, should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions. The Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $1,003,870 using the Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 103.46%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 1.81% (4) expected life of 5.00 years, and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $0.5687 per share. The estimated fair value of the embedded derivative of $1,003,870 was reclassified from equity at the date of issuance.
On August 17, 2017, upon issuance of the secured convertible notes and warrants, the Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option and reset provisions embedded in the issued notes and warrants, in the form of a ratchet provision, should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions.

The Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $798,429 using the Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 102.73%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 1.11% to 1.78% (4) expected life of 0.49 to 5.00 years, and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $0.457 per share. The estimated fair value of the embedded derivative of $798,429 together with the issuance costs of $102,500 (aggregate of $900,929) was charged to debt discount and amortized over the term of the debenture with the excess charged to current period interest.
On September 30, 2017, the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $1,506,414 using the Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 101.58%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 1.20% to 1.92%, (4) expected life of 0.39 to 4.90 years, and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $0.3320 per share.
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”). ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
· | Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
· | Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
· | Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities. |
All items required to be recorded or measured on a recurring basis are based upon Level 3 inputs.
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as Level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed below. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

Gain on change in warrant liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 | $ | 986,058 |
Fluctuations in the Company’s stock price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. As the stock price increases for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument generally increases, therefore increasing the liability on the Company’s balance sheet. Additionally, stock price volatility is one of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments. The simulated fair value of these liabilities is sensitive to changes in the Company’s expected volatility. Increases in expected volatility would generally result in higher fair value measurement. A 10% change in pricing inputs and changes in volatilities and correlation factors would not result in a material change in our Level 3 fair value.

common stock price of $0.332 as of September 30, 2017, which would have been received by the option holders had those option
holders exercised their options as of that date. Option
valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The fair value of stock-based payment awards was estimated
using the Black-Scholes option model with a volatility figure derived historical data. The Company accounts for the expected life
of options based on the contractual life of options for non-employees. The
fair value of all options vesting during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 of $5,678,272 and $1,974,710,
respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense of $286,153 at September 30, 2017 will be expensed in future periods. NOTE
11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 4, 2017 and October 5, 2017, the
Company entered into a Simple Agreement for Future Tokens with two accredited investors, relating to the future right to purchase
$25,000 and $100,000 in units of a cryptographic token (a “Token”), respectively, at a discount, if the Company conducts
a public sale of its Tokens. Pursuant to the agreements, in the event the Company conducts such a public sale of its Tokens, it
will automatically issue to each investor a number of Tokens equal to such investor’s investment, based on a rate that is
fifty percent (50%) of the price per Token in the public sale. In the event the Company sells Tokens in the public sale at different
prices, each investor’s Tokens shall be determined based on the most advantageous rate publicly marketed. On October 5, 2017, the Company issued 394,858
shares of its common stock to a member of the Board of Directors in connection with a cashless exercise of 443,214 shares pursuant
to a Stock Option Agreement, dated June 4, 2014. The shares are reflected as shares to be issued as of September 30, 2017 (See
Note 8). On October 5, 2017, the Company issued 45,000
shares to a former employee for services rendered. The shares are reflected as shares to be issued as of September 30, 2017 (See
Note 8). On October 17, 2017, the Company issued stock
certificates for, in the aggregate, 349,000 shares of its common stock which had been sold in connection with an offering of up
to $2,000,000 of its common stock and warrants conducted in July 2017, and closed on July 21, 2017. Such shares were inadvertently
not issued following such closing. One of the stock certificates noted above was issued for 70,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock, but should have been issued for 30,000 shares, so the Company will rescind 40,000 of such shares. The 309,000 shares
(which does not include the 40,000 shares of common stock issued in error) are reflected as shares to be issued as of September
30, 2017 (See Note 8). 22

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides that:
- The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (an “Indemnified Person”) who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Company or, while a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys” fees) reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to indemnify an Indemnified Person in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Indemnified Person only if the commencement of such Proceeding (or part thereof) by the Indemnified Person was authorized in advance by the Board of Directors.
- The Company shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however that, to the extent required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Indemnified Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified.
Any indemnification as outlined above is not exclusive of any other rights to indemnification afforded by Delaware law.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable

Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
(a) Exhibits
The exhibit index attached hereto is incorporated herein by reference.
(b) Financial Statement Schedule
All schedules have been omitted because the information required to be set forth in the schedules is either not applicable or is shown in the financial statements or notes thereto.
Item 17. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S–3 (§239.13 of this chapter) or Form F–3 (§239.33 of this chapter) and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§230.424(b) of this chapter) that is part of the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
65 |
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B (§230.430B of this chapter):
(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) (§230.424(b)(3) of this chapter) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) (§230.424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) of this chapter) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) (§230.415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) of this chapter) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or
(ii) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C (§230.430C of this chapter), each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (§230.430A of this chapter), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§230.424 of this chapter);
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
66 |
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
