PART I
Item 1. Business
General
As used in this Annual Report,
references to the “Company,” “DriveItAway,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to
DriveItAway Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary, unless otherwise indicated. In addition, references to our “financial
statements” are to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report except as the context otherwise
requires.
We prepare our consolidated
financial statements in United States dollars and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as applied in the United
States, (“U.S. GAAP”). In this Annual Report, references to “$” and “dollars” are to United States
dollars.
Overview
DriveItAway Holdings, Inc. was
formed in Delaware on March 8, 2006 as B2 Health, Inc. On July 2, 2010, the Company acquired BFK Franchise Company, LLC (“BFK”),
a Nevada limited liability company, and concurrently changed its name to Creative Learning Corporation. On February 24, 2022, the Company
acquired DriveItAway, Inc., and on March 18, 2022, disposed of BFK and its other subsidiaries involved in the learning business. On April
18, 2022, the name was changed to DriveItAway Holdings, Inc.
The Company is a national dealer
focused mobility platform that enables car dealers to sell more vehicles in a seamless way through eCommerce, with its exclusive “Pay
as You Go” app-based subscription program. We provide a comprehensive turnkey, solutions driven program with proprietary mobile
technology and driver app, insurance coverages and training to get dealerships up and running quickly and profitably in emerging online
sales opportunities. The Company has expanded its easy and transparent consumer app ‘subscription to ownership’ platform
to enable entry level consumers to drive and acquire new Electric Vehicles.
Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange
On December 7, 2021, the Company
(f/k/a Creative Learning Corporation), DriveItAway, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ DIA ”),
and the existing shareholders of DIA executed an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange, under which the Company would acquire all of the
issued and outstanding common stock of DIA by issuing one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “ Series
A Preferred ”) of the Company for each outstanding share of DIA common stock (the “ Share
Exchan g e ”). As a result of the Share Exchange, DIA will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company.
Each share of Series A Preferred
will be convertible into that number of shares of common stock of the Company which would entitle the Series A Preferred holders to 85%
of the Company’s common stock, determined on a fully-diluted basis. The exact conversion rate of the Series A Preferred will be
determined at closing of the Share Exchange. In addition, each share of Series A Preferred will be entitled to dividends and voting rights
on an “as converted” basis with the common stockholders.
Closing on Share Exchange
On February 24, 2022, closing
of the Share Exchange occurred. Each share of Series A Preferred is convertible into 33.94971 shares of common stock of the Company,
which entitles the holders thereof to 85% of the Company’s common stock upon a conversion of all shares of Series A Preferred,
determined on a fully-diluted basis. In addition, each share of Series A Preferred is entitled to dividends and voting rights on an “as
converted” basis with the common stockholders.
Upon closing of the Share Exchange,
all of the existing members of the board of directors (the “ Board ”) of the
Company resigned, except that Rod Whiton’s resignation will not be effective until ten days after an information statement pursuant
to Rule 14f-1 is mailed to shareholders. John Possumato, and Adam Potash were appointed to the Company’s Board, provided that the
appointments of Messrs. Potash and Patrizio will not be effective until ten days after an information statement pursuant to Rule 14f-1
is mailed to shareholders. Upon closing of the Share Exchange, Christopher Rego and Rod Whiton resigned as officers, and John Possumato
was appointed chief executive officer and Adam Potash was appointed chief operating officer. Mike Elkin agreed to remain as chief financial
officer of the Company.

Sale Agreement with StroomX, LLC
On December 7, 2021, the Company
entered into a Sale Agreement with StroomX, LLC (the “ Purchaser ”), under
which the Company agreed to sell all of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “ Learnin g
Subsidiaries ”) involved in its learning business (the “ Learnin g
Business ”), as well as any assets of the Learning Business that are not owned by
the Learning Subsidiaries, to the Purchaser. In connection with the sale, the Purchaser agreed to assume all liabilities of the Learning
Business, and to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any such liabilities. The Purchaser is controlled by Christopher Rego,
the Company’s current chief executive officer. Closing of the sale will occur after the closing of the Share Exchange.
The sale of the Learning Business
closed on March 18, 2022. As consideration for the purchase of the Learning Business, the parties agreed to offset $50,000 in severance
due to Christopher Rego as part payment of the purchase price. The remainder of the purchase price was paid by a joint note executed
by the Purchaser and Mr. Rego in the principal amount of $100,000, which is payable in full on April 20, 2022 without interest. Alternatively,
the parties agreed that the promissory note may be satisfied in full by the delivery to the Company by the maturity date of the note
of all shares of common stock owned by Mr. Rego and his spouse in the Company, provided that the number of shares is not less than 500,000.
In the event the note is not paid in full by its maturity date, either in cash or shares, the note shall bear interest at 15% per annum
until it is paid in full. 500,000 shares were returned to the transfer agent and cancelled as of May 12, 2022.
Series A Preferred Stock
February 24, 2022, the Company’s
Board approved an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to designate a new series of preferred stock, which is known as the Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred is convertible into 33.94971 shares of common stock of the Company, which
entitles the holders thereof to 85% of the Company’s common stock upon a conversion of all shares of Series A Preferred, determined
on a fully-diluted basis, but prior to any shares issued or issuable as a result of the Financing (as defined below). In addition, each
share of Series A Preferred is entitled to dividends and voting rights on an “as converted” basis with the common stockholders.
On April 20, 2022, holders of
2,464,784 shares of Series A Preferred agreed to convert their Series A Preferred into common stock, which resulted in the issuance of
83,678,702 shares of common stock. On the same date, the board of directors approved a resolution to exercise the Company’s right
to mandatorily convert the remaining 129,809 shares of Series A Preferred into common stock, which resulted in the issuance of an additional
4,406,979 shares of common stock.
Names Change and Capital Structure
On April 18, 2022, the Company
filed an amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State to change its name from Creative Learning
Corporation to DriveItAway Holdings, Inc. and to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 1,000,000,000.
Our Business
We have developed a consumer-facing
app and Web-based platform that allows any automotive retailer the ability to provide a subscription to ownership “micro-lease”
model for any consumer, regardless of credit history – easy, transparent, and risk-free for both the consumer and the retailer.
Under our “Drive Now,
Decide Later” mantra, any consumer, regardless of credit, can go on our app, select a vehicle, sign for and pick up a vehicle,
and have the subscription deal consummated in a matter of minutes. Unlike a vehicle sale or lease, a candidate that passes our detailed
screening can be driving without making any long-term financial commitment, for as long as he/she wants, in the vehicle of choice. While
there is really no such thing as “digital retailing” for the sale or lease of a vehicle in the U.S. today, as all states
require actual “wet ink” signatures for documents either sent to the buyer or signed at a dealership, documents for a rental
or subscription can all be legally signed digitally, so this process is quick, easy and can all be consummated in our app – with
the vehicle delivered to the candidate. We are true digital retailing for the automotive industry.
Unlike rental car companies,
or even subscription companies available to US and Canadian consumers today, a DriveItAway vehicle subscription program is differentiated
with one vital element, all of our drivers have the ability to buy the vehicle they are subscribing to, with the portion of the money
they are paying in as rental fees accruing towards the purchase price, should they choose to buy. All drivers have the right, but not
the obligation, to buy at any time, and get the benefit of his or her specific vehicle’s reduced purchase price created by the
payments they have made for vehicle usage.
3
Just as Divvy Homes has revolutionized
the rent-to-own market for houses during these cash-strained times, DriveItAway seeks to revolutionize how both new and used vehicles
are sold, where a purchase transaction starts in a commitment-free rental or subscription.
While we think this easy, transparent,
and turnkey type of “Drive Now, Decide Later” subscription appeals to all potential vehicle buyers and will grow dramatically
as the entire car market makes the transition to EV vehicles and we gain more visibility as an alternative in the marketplace, right
now the “low hanging fruit” is indeed the subprime and deep subprime consumer, whose alternatives are limited to the bad
choices outlined above.
4
We use a technology partner
to extensively screen our applicants through a digital process for background and identity, driving history and insurance risk, income
verification, etc., but we do not require any threshold credit score. As long as an applicant has a clean driving record and adequate
income, etc., he/she can qualify for one of our vehicles. In the current environment, the average new vehicle is selling for approximately
$47,000 dollars while the average used vehicle is selling for approximately $28,000 with an average six-year payment of over $716. Our
average vehicle usage/rental fees are priced a little higher (between $150-225 a week, not counting insurance) on a subscription, but
our driver is building equity in the vehicle they are driving, and most all are working towards a buyout – when the amount written
down is low enough that he/she can successfully finance the purchase. As our mission is defined, we get our credit-challenged customers
off of the “gerbil wheel” of never-ending payments, and out of vehicles that break down before the payments are finished.
In general, as banks and
finance organizations are tightening up credit policies, particularly for subprime and deep subprime buyers, and auto loan delinquencies
are now at a seventeen year high, while vehicles have become higher in price relative to income, we see vehicle subscriptions at the
same trajectory of growth today as consumer vehicle leasing was 25-30 years ago: a small percentage of “sales” now, but high
growth in the years to come. We see our unique subscription to ownership model as the best subscription program for all consumers, as
it offers the best of both the “walk away” ability of a turnkey monthly rental, but with the advantage of benefiting from
the monthly usage payment reduction, should the driver choose to buy.
DriveItAway works with franchise
and larger independent dealers (not with Buy Here/Pay Here stores), and is primarily a turnkey subscription dealer platform, although
we do act as principal in many cases owning vehicles, particularly EV vehicles, always serviced and delivered by our car dealership partners.
We also acquired inventory in the past year from a large under a fleet lease agreement with a large national fleet owner. This allows
the company to scale rapidly in many locations, without the burden of fixed overhead or personnel expenses.
How We Work
Without the technology available
in recent years, it would not be possible for DriveItAway to exist. Many years ago, when the Buy Here/Pay Here market first developed
it was necessary for those dealers to maintain 30/40% net profit margins, as typically a third of their vehicles ended up being repossessed,
and, by the time the dealer actually received the vehicle back, it was in such bad repair it was worth next to nothing.
Today, with embedded app
based technology, we can greatly reduce most of the risks, identify those problems that do occur quickly, and mitigate losses, so that
we can maintain a high per-unit profit margin and still price very competitively as compared to other choices our retail customers might
have, allowing for a good profit margin for ourselves and dealers that use us as a subscription/micro-lease platform. Note: most franchise
dealers would like the extra profit and business deep subprime candidates represent (they have been, typically the most loyal and highest
profit margin sector of vehicle buyers), particularly now when many “near prime” buyers are rapidly being reclassified as
subprime, but do not want to deal with the typical problems a “Buy Here/Pay Here” operation represents, nor do they want
to operate that type of “victimizing” enterprise.
First, our all in-app subscription
process is not only quicker and much more transparent to our end user drivers, but it is also much easier to administer and maintain
from an operational perspective. DriveItAway uses a third-party screening service to review an applicant’s identity and background,
his/her driving history and insurance risk, income verification and employment, and credit tier. While we do not require any particular
credit score, we do require a ratio of income to payment coverage for all renters, a clean driving history, and other criteria to mitigate
risk. This automated screening process runs in the app with an API and is completed within minutes.
Once a candidate qualifies for
the vehicle selected, we collect a security deposit commensurate with the payment and value of the vehicle, and all drivers pay in advance
by credit card or ACH inside the app. We are also gearing up to collect through voluntary payroll deduction for our subscribers as well.
Before such technologies existed, in the old days of “Buy Here/Pay Here” the payment process was (and still is in many of
these small stores), literally done in person on a weekly basis – obviously, there is a lot of collection friction in a manual
process.
One major key to what we do
is the placement of advanced telematics on every vehicle we offer for subscription. All drivers in our subscription contract are informed
and agree to have a live-time telematics device in each vehicle along with an ignition starter cut-off switch, which is tied back into
our payment platform. With this, DriveItAway can monitor vehicle location, and driving pattern (speed versus speed limit, hard braking,
etc.) and can set up a “red flag” monitor to identify unsafe driving. Unsafe driving is not tolerated and will result in
a warning and possible vehicle return. In addition, the ignition starter cut-off switch automatically kills the start-up of the vehicle,
if an advance payment is overdue (note: it does not in any way stop the vehicle while driving, but once the vehicle is shut off, it simply
cannot be restarted, unless we “turn it back on”). This is not seen so much as a penalty, but a very explicit reminder that
our driver must pay for the vehicle. Through our AI chat and automated system, a person can simply say when and what amount of payment
they are prepared to make, and the vehicle will turn on, even if the payment commitment is in the future (we do not want to strand anyone
or cause undue hardship). However, repeated late payments can result in a vehicle requiring a return.
5
One note, our entire program
is focused on keeping our subscribers who want to buy “on the rails” and that is made clear at inception. We work with our
subscribers to help each achieve their goal of vehicle ownership, which includes free credit counseling/credit remediation if desired
by the applicate. Finally, we counsel all of our subscribers that, indeed, one of the benefits of being in a weekly/monthly subscription
is the fact that no long-term commitment is made, so if his/her financial situation changes and the vehicle is no longer affordable,
simply turn it in (each is paying in advance), and preserve the ability to come back for a new vehicle in the future.
Finally, we are writing down
the vehicle each month, below depreciated “book” value, so if a vehicle is returned, we are never “upside down”
on market value versus book value. When a vehicle is returned, either our own vehicle or a dealer vehicle for dealers using us as a platform,
we simply put it back out to another candidate, until one of our drivers purchases the vehicle.
Very clearly, without technology
and integrations available in the last few years, a subscription to an ownership platform such as DriveItAway could not exist. The fact
that it does now, and we are introducing it into the market, enables us to achieve our mission to rationalize the one area of the automotive
industry that has yet to become efficient and is filled with high-margin friction, the subprime and deep subprime Buy Here/Pay Here marketplace.
EV Program
During the last year, DriveItAway,
acting as principal, did market pilots, and added a variety of EV and Hybrid Plug-In vehicles into its fleet, integrating different telematics,
marketing models and user surveys to engineer and gain experience in scaling as a mainstream EV subscription to ownership platform.
The DriveItAway program is uniquely
designed to help alleviate the two biggest impediments to a mainstream or subprime EV sale, the higher cost (spread out over as long
a period of time as required for our subscriber), and the “suitability” or anxiety of plunging into an EV sale.
Add to this the recognition and focus
on the need for more “mainstream” EV buyers to achieve EV growth goals in the US, by both private and public entities, and
the problem now becoming more apparent in the slower growth in EV sales as new EV inventory builds on dealer lots (now at a 120 days
supply and increasing), we clearly are on the right side of a long-term trend. Indeed, all our EV subscribers have to do is run a new
or used EV for the required period of time in a subscription so that it is two model years old when the selling price is written down
to $25k or less, and he/she will receive a $4,000 or 30% of the sale price tax credit (in 2024 which can be signed over as cash to the
selling dealer, no waiting for a tax credit to come) on his or her purchase, courtesy of Inflation Reduction Act (note: the buyer must
make less than $75k a year, or $150k for couples).
This used EV incentive, of 30% of the purchase
price or $4,000 (whichever is less), can easily be seen as perfect synergistic fit with the DriveItAway program, particularly working
in coordination with franchise car dealers. With our program, a dealer can, by putting vehicles in a subscription service with our platform,
manufacture their own used car, qualifying for the substantial federal used car consumer tax incentive. Also, as retailers have slimmer
sales profit margins on mainstream EVs, and will have up to 40-50% less service work on EVs (great for the consumer, not so good for
dealers), selling a mainstream EV vehicle twice – once in their subscription service using the DriveItAway platform and then as
a used car, with incentives, to the driver or another consumer – helps solve franchise dealer “margin compression”
issues as well.
During the past year used EV values plunged over
30% and continue to drop at a record pace, setting the stage for the DriveItAway platform to provide a turnkey profitable “safety
valve” for a dealer’s used EV inventory creating income and sales. It is expected that in the coming quarters DriveItAway
will also be able to leverage this dramatic drop in EV resale value by acting as principal in financing its own fleet of used EV vehicles
and offering them at very affordable rates to its end user customers.
Getting EVs in mainstream consumer
hands in a beneficial, profitable way for all constituencies, “EVs for Everyone,” is another problem that we solve.
Key Industry Tailwinds
We believe the convergence of
key trends, including the increased supply of new and used vehicles, the pendulum swinging back to normal on new and used vehicle depreciation
curves (a radical shift from the last 24 months), rising interest rates, and a challenging economy (we are a counter cycle company),
the major private and public push for EV sales goals, and the entry-level worker shortage, all will contribute to the robust demand for
DriveItAway’s dealer administered consumer-focused subscription to ownership platform.

● New
and Used Vehicle Supply is Increasing and Vehicles are Decreasing in Value. All of
the primary forecasters and OEMs have stated, clearly that the chip and parts supply shortage
has ended, and it is a fact that for the first time in two years new vehicle inventories
are climbing, currently at a 20 month high and building rapidly. . Commensurately, used vehicle
wholesale prices have plunged over the last few quarters, and now retail used car values
are continuing to fall. Many dealers now have used inventory that is “underwater”
(not worth the cost value in the wholesale market), and so our platform now adds value to
win both incremental new market share and sell used vehicles without a wholesale loss.
● Vehicle
Affordability is at an All Time Low, Interest Rates are Up, auto loan delinquency rates are
at a 17 year high and Repossessions are Up for all Financial Credit Ratings, but Most Dramatically
for Prime Vehicle Loans . The average new car now sells for over $47,000 with
the average car payment above $700 a month with an average six-year term loan.. In addition
to increasing retail prices and interest rates pushing more folks out of the market, banks
for the first time in a long time are tightening up credit policies to reject higher credit
scores for vehicle financing. Subprime loan delinquency rates are now the highest seen since
2006, and repossessions are on the rise, particularly in the prime lending segment As our
business is counter cycle, in that it both helps those consumers who need to spread out the
cost of a new or used vehicle, and particularly helps those who are cash or credit-challenged
to drive and then buy a vehicle, all of these macroeconomic indicators are now swinging back
to portend a greater need for our solution.
● The
Focus for both Vehicle Manufacturers and Government is to Promote Widespread Mainstream EV
Adoption . It is clear that federal EV adoption objectives are impossible to achieve
without the high volume, rapid adoption of EVs among mainstream, non-affluent vehicle buyers.
Also, vehicle manufacturers cannot hope to have an adequate return on the billions of dollars
invested in the development and manufacture of EV vehicles, without mainstream EV sales,
in addition to the current market 98% composed of luxury and premium luxury buyers. Both
public and private institutions recognize this, which is why the recent focus has been on
creating stimulus programs to subsidize the price of EVs and appeal to all buyers. The DriveItAway
program fits perfectly to facilitate this much larger trend, the first company of its kind
to do so in this way.
● Dealers
are Coming Under Financial Pressure to Move EV Units and EVs Have Lower Profit Margins and
Dramatically Fewer Service Requirements . As manufacturers introduce and hinge sales
growth on EV vehicles, and consumer demand for e-commerce continues to accelerate, new car
dealers are in a particularly difficult position, as profit margins will decrease rapidly,
in both sales and fixed operations. Most all vehicle manufacturers, both in the US and abroad,
with the advent of new EV models, are putting a new sales model in place for franchise dealers,
the “agency model,” where the vehicle price and sales transaction is dictated
by the manufacturer online, and the dealer receives a fixed fee for customer delivery. This
eliminates the dealer’s ability to set retail prices or negotiate a purchase. Combine
this with the McKinsey & Co. estimate that repair service income will drop 40-50% with
EVs, as compared to ICE units (EVs have approximately 200 moving parts, as compared to 2,000
for a gas unit), and profit marge compression for dealers is imminent and a growing concern.
Our program allows dealers who use our platform “two bites” at the sales apple,
once when a vehicle is put into a dealer’s rental/subscription company (the first sale),
and the second when that vehicle is sold used, either to the driver or another party, all
the while guaranteeing service work on the vehicle for an extended period of time. By the
nature of the subscription to ownership program, our dealer partners increase market share
and profit margins on EVs.
● Large
Companies in the US are in the Process of Major EV Usage and Sustainability Adoption .
Larger companies in the US are under increased pressure to document sustainability objectives,
particularly in the replacement of ICE units to EVs, in both their fleet and employee car
park. Bank of America, for instance, is giving all employees who make less than $100k a year
the incentive of an extra $4,000 for buying an EV. In addition, many are subject to broader
ESG audits which have a very real impact on institutional investment, etc. and are increasingly
emphasizing sustainability in their purchasing decisions to positively impact their communities
and the environment. As the DriveItAway program gains more visibility in transparently and
efficiently accomplishing these larger companywide aligned goals, we see a much larger scalable
growth in working with large corporate constituencies.
● The
Adoption of EVs Portends an Increased Focus on Vehicle Subscriptions. Consumers are
shifting their lifestyles to include more subscription-based services, especially where battery-driven
technology obsolescence could be a major factor. For example, most cell phones today are
under a subscription, rather than a purchase or lease contract, and cable television is quickly
being replaced in consumer households by subscription streaming. Some major forecasters are
predicting the same for EVs as they grow in consumer adoption, that subscriptions will represent
even as much as one-third of all EV “sales.” Our subscription with optional ownership
technology and platform gives the consumer the best of both a subscription and the ability
to convert ownership when and if desired.

Long-Term Growth Strategy
We have made decisions and investments
with long-term objectives to scale rapidly. We believe maintaining a long-term growth orientation is key to maximizing DriveItAway’s
impact and generating value for all stakeholders, looking towards larger market value potential with the massive changes afoot in the
automotive retail industry. We plan to achieve this by continuing to lay down a firm foundation in technology, platform and partners,
and continue growth with positive unit economics.
Key levers of our growth strategy
include:
● Renew
and Continue to Redevelop our Platform as a SaaS For Larger Car Dealers and Large Fleet Providers. We
plan to continue to refine and improve our platform to best accommodate dealers for use with
their own new and used vehicles, and as an entry-level point to grow market share both for
subprime customers and potential mainstream EV buyers.
● Develop
Continued EV-Focused Pilots Acting as Principal to Service Customers Directly with Dealer
Partners . We think that as the current market for all vehicles becomes more challenging,
selling entry-level EVs in the volumes projected by the manufacturers will become particularly
difficult, and that programs like DriveItAway will become vital to stimulate mainstream EV
adoption. We plan to continue to gain experience and reputation in accommodating mainstream
EV adopters directly with our own inventory, anticipating likely support from manufacturers
and manufacturer-owned captive finance companies, as we make our presence known as a unique
fleet buyer.
● Continue
Partnerships with Vehicle Fleet Providers for Consignment Vehicles as we Build Dealer Clients .
DriveItAway currently has relationships with two subscription/rental organizations, for
the consignment of lease vehicles to go into the DriveItAway program. Given
the specialization and uniqueness of the DriveItAway technology and platform, there is a
synergy in these fleet suppliers leasing vehicles to us for our target market, and gain from
our wholesale lease payments, then their alternative to go to the significant expense of
capturing our market directly. In turn, this supplies us with wholesale inventory to expand
our direct market share, facilitating our growth and market presence.
● Pilot
and Expand Partnerships with Large Contract Labor Organizations and Corporates to Fulfill
Both Their ESG and Employee Retention and Recruitment Goals .
As we roll out our second successful pilot with a contract
labor organization, we, together, intend to scale our solution with many other large corporates
in strategically located regions throughout 2024. Again, with larger reach and visibility,
this application and target market is large and vast, and alone presents scale to many thousands
of vehicles.
● Continue
to Expand Synergistic Partnerships with Industry Providers in Insurance, Lead Generation
and Telematics Infrastructure . Over the last 24 months, we have dramatically increased
our partnerships with major insurance providers (with refined risk screening and launched
a “bring your own insurance” model in the second quarter of 2023), potential
lead generation partners (such as EV subscription services that only focus on subprime, absorbing
rejected leads into our sales funnel) and telematics providers (integration with innovative
new technologies for vehicle monitoring and control). These relationships will allow us to
continue to refine, grow and scale our business, and provide our own innovations while improving
customer experience, with a minimum of infrastructure investment. We will continue to grow
these partnerships and add additional partners, to leverage and refine our model.
● Expand
Into More Regions of the US and Gain More Consumer Visibility . One of the biggest
impediments to our growth, indeed, is the lack of DriveItAway as a visible alternative to
our target audiences - those subprime consumers whose alternatives for transportation ownership
our far worse, and, in addition to the new group of mainstream consumers who are interested
in EVs but do not want to take the risk of getting into a long-term financial commitment
before extensive use. As we increase our inventory and presence in more contiguous regions
throughout the US, our visibility will increase. In addition, we continue to present at auto
industry trade shows to gain more visibility among potential dealer and technology partners,
and our CEO regularly has articles published in trade industry journals.
8
● Unlock
New Business Models . Our capabilities as a scalable direct-to-customer digital mobility
subscription to ownership platform, with proprietary integrated technology, position us to
drive the adoption of future business models. This includes our expertise in managing what
we believe will become the largest centrally managed fleet of EV mainstream/credit challenged
consumer vehicles, with our subscription to ownership model, which in the future will allow
us to unlock future service offerings, including retail insurance, credit and funding products
to our consumer customer base.
Employees
As of September 30, 2023, we

if and when appropriate.

ended September 30, 2023 were $830,976 as compared to $1,201,767 for the year ended September 30, 2022. The decrease of $370,791 was
primarily attributable to a $299,088 decrease in professional fees and a $90,475 reduction in salaries and payroll taxes.
Operating loss was $762,455
for the year ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $1,185,156 for the year ended September 30, 2022. The decrease of $422,701 was
largely attributable to a decrease in professional fees, salaries, and payroll taxes and a large increase in rental revenue.
11
Other income (expenses) for
year ended September 30, 2023 were ($167,682), as compared to ($290,209) for the year ended September 30, 2022. The increase of $122,527
was attributable to an increase in amortization debt discount of $555,282, partially offset by decreases in gain (loss) on change in
fair value of derivative liability, gain on PPP loan forgiveness, and interest expense of $265,465, $24,148, and $103,549, respectively.

30, 2022, the Company generated $1,125,000 from the issuance of convertible notes and $36,200 from an SBA loan, offset by $128,750 of
debt issuance costs.
Going Concern
As of September 30, 2023, the
Company had a net loss of $930,137 accumulated deficit of $3,310,896 and did not have sufficient cash on hand to cover expenses for the
next twelve (12) months. The Company intends to convert its convertible debt into common stock and to fund operations through equity
financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the
year ending September 30, 2024.
The ability of our Company to
emerge from the development stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, and development
of our business plan. In response to these requirements, management intends to raise additional funds through public or private placement
offerings. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The
accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Critical Accounting Policies and
Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements
are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), which require management
to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying
notes. We believe our most critical accounting policies and estimates relate to the following:
● Revenue Recognition
● Stock-Based Compensation
● Income Taxes
● Financial Instruments
● Derivative Financial Instruments
While our estimates and assumptions
are based on our knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these
estimates and assumptions. For a discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 2 of Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s
revenue is recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,
for all periods presented. The Company, through its DriveItAway online/app-based platform (“platform”), operates in the automotive
rental industry. The Company assists subprime and deep subprime candidates to rent/lease vehicles on a short-term basis, generally on
a weekly or, in some cases monthly, basis under a Pay-As You-Go program. Through its platform the Company will track vehicle values and
reduce vehicle pricing through the customers usage payments to show drivers a vehicle purchase price should they be interested in buying
the vehicle, at which time the customer would procure financing if the Company determined they wanted to sell the vehicle at the listed
purchase price.
13
During the years ended September
30, 2023, and 2022, the Company derived its revenue from signed contracts for vehicle rentals between the Company, other leasing companies,
or car dealerships and individual car rental customers (“customers”).
Customers book a vehicle through
the Company’s platform, starting first with a rental contract with the vehicle. When the customer books the vehicle, per the terms
of the individual rental agreements, the customer shall pay a stated rental rate, a stated insurance amount, an initial non-refundable
fee, and, in some cases, a refundable deposit. At the end of the usage cycle, the system calculates miles driven and if the customer
has driven more than the prorated, included amount, they pay extra usage/mileage fees. In instances when a customer pays late, they pay
a late fee and in cases of incurring charges for tolls they pay for the toll costs incurred. Additionally, contracts may be extended
(a new contract is signed) at which time the credit card on file for the customer will be charged at the beginning of the contract extension
period for rental rate and insurance amount for the new extension period.
Vehicles available in the platform
can be owned or leased by the Company or made available through arrangements with independent car dealerships (“dealerships”).
For vehicles owned or leased by the Company, the Company’s performance obligation for rental revenue is to provide customers with
a vehicle and an application to track vehicle rental arrangements. For vehicles made available through dealerships the Company’s
performance obligation for rental revenue is to provide an application to track vehicle rental arrangements and to collect cash from
customers and remit those amounts to dealerships net of the Company’s revenue share. The vehicle rental arrangements are over a
fixed contracted period; therefore, the Company recognizes rental revenue ratably over the contract term. Costs related to rental revenue
include depreciation for Company owned vehicles and monthly lease payments when the vehicles are leased from a leasing company. The amount
of revenue transferred to dealerships is treated as contra-revenue because the Company acts as an agent in these transactions resulting
in only the Company’s revenue share being recognized.
The Pay-As-You-Go program manages
or includes insurance. Fleet insurance is sometimes provided where the Company has a fleet policy and the driver is added to it when
needed. In this case, the driver pays the cost of insurance as a separate payment in the system. This payment is a type of revenue. The
Company pays the insurance company providing the coverage. This is a cost of goods sold. The Company also allows for drivers to bring
their own insurance. The Company works with associated insurance brokers to write a policy for the customer for that vehicle and a separate
finance company that pays for the policy in full. The Company acts as trustee in collecting installments and transferring them to the
finance company. Collected payments are treated as a revenue and transfers to the finance company are treated as contra-revenue because
the Company acts as an agent in these transactions. Lastly, in markets where the Company cannot support this program, drivers are allowed
to bring their own insurance and pay it directly themselves with no involvement of the Company. No revenue is collected or recognized
in this instance. Because any insurance revenue is collected at contract inception and covers the fixed contract period the Company recognizes
insurance revenue ratably over the contract term.
Initial non-refundable fees are
recognized when payment is received as the Company has no obligation to provide additional services at that point. Miscellaneous charges
for extra mileage, late fees, or toll charges calculated and charged to the customer credit card at the end of the usage cycle are recognized
when the credit card charge goes through. Refundable deposits are recorded on the balance sheet until deposits are returned to customers
or applied to their account for fees incurred. Deferred revenue includes rental and insurance amounts that are paid for contracts that
overlap a reporting date and relate to usages after that date. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022 refundable deposits were $2,234 and
$0 and deferred revenue was $7,233 and $2,101, respectively.
In addition to the costs associated
with rental revenue and insurance revenue, within the Cost of Goods Sold account the Company also records credit card fees incurred from
the cash collections and cash remittance process, as a significant portion of its performance obligation is to collect and remit payments
through its credit card processors.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation
expense for all restricted stock awards and stock options. The fair value of restricted stock awards is measured using the grant date
fair value of our stock, as determined by the Board of Directors. The fair value of stock options is estimated at the grant date using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and the portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation cost over the
requisite service period. We have elected to recognize compensation expense for all options with graded vesting on a straight-line basis
over the vesting period of the entire option. The determination of fair value using the Black Scholes pricing model is affected by our
stock value as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including expected stock price volatility
and the risk-free interest rate.
14
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows ASC 820,
“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset
or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between
(1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s
own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable
inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the
fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level
1
Level 1 applies to assets or
liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level
2
Level 2 applies to assets or
liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices
for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume
or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived
principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level
3
Level 3 applies to assets or
liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair
value of the assets or liabilities.
The carrying amounts shown of
the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expense, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities
are approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for their
derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” therefore any embedded conversion options
and warrants accounted for as derivatives are to be recorded at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair
value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for
each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance
sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the
event that caused the reclassification.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was used to estimate the fair
value of the embedded conversion options and warrants. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the
fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time, of our common stock, equal
to the weighted average life of the options.
Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet
arrangements.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DriveItAway Holdings, Inc.
as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, 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.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the entity will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the entity has suffered recurring losses
from operations, has a net capital deficiency, and has not established sufficient revenue to cover its operating costs, therefore will
require additional capital to continue operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting
firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent
with respect to DriveItAway Holdings, Inc. in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. DriveItAway Holdings, Inc. is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such
procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits
also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial
statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures
that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication
of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating
the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which
they relate.
F- 1
Complex Debt Transaction
During the year under audit the Company entered into multiple
amendments to their convertible note with AJB Capital Investments, LLC (see Note 8) that changed the terms of the original agreement,
including changes to the note principal, the commitment fee shares, and the warrants that were issued in conjunction with the borrowing.
Due to the number of modifications to the financing arrangement the accounting for the transaction was challenging and required complex
auditor judgment, including a detailed analysis and interpretation of accounting literature, and took a significant amount of audit effort.
In order to audit the accounting for the debt agreement, we
reviewed managements analysis of the transaction and had to perform a significant amount of research and analysis to gain comfort in
the accounting of the transaction. The detailed analysis performed resulted in material audit adjustments to the recorded debt discount,
amortization of debt discount, loss on extinguishment of debt, and change in derivative liability, as one of the modifications required
extinguishment accounting.

DriveItAway Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements September 30, 2023 and 2022
Note
1 – Organization, Description of Business and Going
Concern
Nature of Organization
DriveItAway Holdings, Inc. (“DIA
Holdings”, “the Company”, “we” or “us”) was formed in Delaware on March 8, 2006 as B2 Health,
Inc. On July 2, 2010, the Company acquired BFK Franchise Company, LLC (“BFK”), a Nevada limited liability company, and concurrently
changed its name to Creative Learning Corporation. On February 24, 2022, the Company acquired DriveItAway, Inc., and on March 18, 2022,
disposed of BFK and its other subsidiaries involved in the learning business. On April 18, 2022, the name was changed to DriveItAway
Holdings, Inc.
DIA Holdings is a national dealer
focused mobility platform that enables car dealers to sell more vehicles in a seamless way through eCommerce, with its exclusive “Pay
as You Go” app-based subscription program. DIA provides a comprehensive turnkey, solutions driven program with proprietary mobile
technology and driver app, insurance coverages and training to get dealerships up and running quickly and profitably in emerging online
sales opportunities. The company is planning to soon expand its easy and transparent consumer app ‘subscription to ownership’
platform to enable entry level consumers to drive and acquire new Electric Vehicles. For further information, please see www.driveitaway.com.
Share Exchange and Reorganization
On February 24, 2022 (the “Effective
Date”), the Company, DriveItAway, Inc., and the existing shareholders of DriveItAway, Inc. (“DIA”) executed an Agreement
and Plan of Share Exchange, under which the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of DIA by issuing one share
of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”) of the Company for each outstanding share of DIA common
stock (the “Share Exchange”). At the closing, the Company agreed to issue one share of Series A Preferred for each share
of DIA common stock that was subsequently issued in conversion of certain outstanding convertible notes of DIA, provided that the holders
converted their notes prior to December 31, 2022. All of the holders of the convertible notes of DIA agreed to convert their notes in
March 2022 and were issued one share of Series A Preferred in exchange for the DIA common stock they acquired as a result of the conversion.
A total of 2,594,593
shares of Series A Preferred were issued in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of DIA, including DIA shares issued at
closing or shortly thereafter as a result of the exercise or conversion of all outstanding options or convertible notes issued by DIA.
Recapitalization
For financial accounting purposes,
this transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition by DIA and resulted in a recapitalization with DIA being the accounting acquirer
and DIA, Inc. as the acquired company. The consummation of this reverse acquisition resulted in a change of control. Accordingly, the
historical financial statements prior to the acquisition are those of the accounting acquirer, DIA and have been prepared to give retroactive
effect to the reverse acquisition completed on February 24, 2022, and represent the operations of DIA. The consolidated financial statements
after the acquisition date, February 24, 2022, include the balance sheets of both companies at fair value, the historical results of
DIA and the results of the Company from the acquisition date. All share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements and footnotes has been retroactively restated to reflect the recapitalization.
Going Concern
The Company’s financial
statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States, applicable
to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. During
the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company had a net loss of $ 930,137
and cash used in operating activities of $ 445,105 .
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 3,310,896 .
The Company has not established sufficient revenue to cover its operating costs and will require additional capital to continue its operating
plan. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses
until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. These factors
raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
F- 7
To continue as a going concern,
the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan to obtain such resources for the Company
includes sales of equity instruments; traditional financing, such as loans; and obtaining capital from management and significant stockholders
to sufficiently meet its minimum operating expenses. However, management cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be successful
in accomplishing this plan.
There is no assurance that the
Company will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds when needed or that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms
satisfactory to the Company. In addition, profitability will ultimately depend upon the level of revenues received from business operations.
However, there is no assurance that the Company will attain profitability. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Note
2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The accompanying audited consolidated
financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for
the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.
Basis
of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of DriveItAway Holdings Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary DriveItAway, Inc., collectively referred to as the
“Company”. All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated
financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates and assumptions made by management include
allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for deferred tax assets, and fair value of equity instruments. Actual results could differ
from those estimates as the current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.
Foreign
Currency Translation
Foreign currency translation
is recognized in accordance with ASC 830. The Company’s functional currency is USD, therefore all amounts of revenues received
from foreign accounts are translated to the Company’s functional currency (USD) upon receipt and thereby, translation gains and
losses are recognized upon receipt.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly
liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2023, and
2022, the Company had cash of $ 4,632
and $ 127,109 ,
which included restricted cash of $ 18,559
and $ 0 ,
respectively and did not have cash equivalents.
Restricted
Cash
As of September 30, 2023 and
September 30, 2022, the Company had $ 18,559
and $ 0
in restricted cash that is held by AJB Capital LLC, for funds advanced by them, but are to be used for future payment for professional
fees.
F- 8
Accounts
Receivable
The Company reviews accounts
receivable periodically for collectability and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts and records bad debt expense when deemed
necessary. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts that is based on historical trends, customer knowledge, any known disputes,
and considers the aging of the accounts receivable balances combined with management’s estimate of future potential recoverability.
Accounts and receivables are written off against the allowance after all attempts to collect a receivable have failed. The Company believes
its allowances for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2023, and 2022, are adequate, but actual write-offs could exceed the recorded
allowance. As of September 30, 2023, and 2022, the balances in the allowance for doubtful accounts was $ 0 .
Fixed
Assets
Fixed
assets are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, currently seven (7) years.
Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major improvements, which extend the useful life of the related asset,
are capitalized. Upon disposal of a fixed asset, we record a gain or loss based on the difference between the proceeds received and the
net book value of the disposed asset. We remove fully depreciated assets from the cost and accumulated depreciation amounts disclosed.
Intangible
Assets
Our
intangible assets include website and software development costs. The costs incurred in the preliminary stages of website and software
development are expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and
incremental and deemed by management to be significant, are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful
lives. Maintenance and enhancement costs, including those costs in the post-implementation stages, are typically expensed as incurred,
unless such costs relate to substantial upgrades and enhancements to the website or software that result in added functionality, in which
case the costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. Amortization expense related to
capitalized website and software development costs is included in operating expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.
Capitalized
development activities placed in service are amortized over the expected useful lives of those releases, currently estimated at three
( 3 )
years. The estimated useful lives of website and software development activities are reviewed frequently and adjusted as appropriate
to reflect upcoming development activities that may include significant upgrades and/or enhancements to the existing functionality. We
remove fully amortized website and software development costs from the cost and accumulated amortization amounts disclosed.
Construction-in-progress
primarily consists of website development costs that are capitalizable, but for which the associated applications have not been placed
in service.
Leases
The Company’s
operating lease portfolio for the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, includes the vehicle leases from third parties and the Company’s
owned vehicles that are leased to the customers under operating leases. The contracts for these operating leases are short-term in nature
with terms less than twelve (12) months. The Company has elected as an accounting policy not to apply the recognition requirements in
ASC 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”) to short-term leases. The Company recognizes the lease payments for short-term leases on
a straight-line basis over the lease term. As of September 30, 2023, the Company did not have leases that qualified as ROU assets.
Fair
Value Measurements
The Company follows ASC 820,
“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset
or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between
(1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s
own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable
inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the
fair value hierarchy are described below:
F- 9
Level
1
Level 1 applies to assets or
liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or
liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices
for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume
or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived
principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or
liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair
value of the assets or liabilities.
The carrying amounts shown on
the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expense, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities
approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.
All financial assets and liabilities
are approximate to their fair value. Derivative liabilities are valued at Level 3.

The following table provides a summary of changes
in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities as of September 30, 2023, and 2022:
F- 10
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for their
derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” therefore any embedded conversion options
and warrants accounted for as derivatives are to be recorded at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair
value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for
each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance
sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the
event that caused the reclassification.
The Black-Scholes option valuation
model was used to estimate the fair value of the embedded conversion options and warrants. The model includes subjective input assumptions
that can materially affect the fair value estimates.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company’s revenue is recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers, for all periods presented. The Company, through its DriveItAway online/app-based platform (“platform”), operates
in the automotive rental industry. The Company assists subprime and deep subprime candidates to rent/lease vehicles on a short-term basis,
generally on a weekly or, in some cases monthly, basis under a Pay-As You-Go program. Through its platform the Company will track vehicle
values and reduce vehicle pricing through the customers usage payments to show drivers a vehicle purchase price should they be interested
in buying the vehicle, at which time the customer would procure financing if the Company determined they wanted to sell the vehicle at
the listed purchase price.
During
the years ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company derived its revenue from signed contracts for vehicle rentals between the Company,
other leasing companies, or car dealerships and individual car rental customers (“customers”).
Customers
book a vehicle through the Company’s platform, starting first with a rental contract with the vehicle. When the customer books
the vehicle, per the terms of the individual rental agreements, the customer shall pay a stated rental rate, a stated insurance amount,
an initial non-refundable fee, and, in some cases, a refundable deposit. At the end of the usage cycle, the system calculates miles driven
and if the customer has driven more than the prorated, included amount, they pay extra usage/mileage fees. In instances when a customer
pays late, they pay a late fee and in cases of incurring charges for tolls they pay for the toll costs incurred. Additionally, contracts
may be extended (a new contract is signed) at which time the credit card on file for the customer will be charged at the beginning of
the contract extension period for rental rate and insurance amount for the new extension period.
Vehicles
available in the platform can be owned or leased by the Company or made available through arrangements with independent car dealerships
(“dealerships”). For vehicles owned or leased by the Company, the Company’s performance obligation for rental revenue
is to provide customers with a vehicle and an application to track vehicle rental arrangements. For vehicles made available through dealerships
the Company’s performance obligation for rental revenue is to provide an application to track vehicle rental arrangements and to
collect cash from customers and remit those amounts to dealerships net of the Company’s revenue share. The vehicle rental arrangements
are over a fixed contracted period; therefore, the Company recognizes rental revenue ratably over the contract term. Costs related to
rental revenue include depreciation for Company owned vehicles and monthly lease payments when the vehicles are leased from a leasing
company. The amount of revenue transferred to dealerships is treated as contra-revenue because the Company acts as an agent in these
transactions resulting in only the Company’s revenue share being recognized.
The
Pay-As-You-Go program manages or includes insurance. Fleet insurance is sometimes provided where the Company has a fleet policy and the
driver is added to it when needed. In this case, the driver pays the cost of insurance as a separate payment in the system. This payment
is a type of revenue. The Company pays the insurance company providing the coverage. This is a cost of goods sold. The Company also allows
for drivers to bring their own insurance. The Company works with associated insurance brokers to write a policy for the customer for
that vehicle and a separate finance company that pays for the policy in full. The Company acts as trustee in collecting installments
and transferring them to the finance company. Collected payments are treated as a revenue and transfers to the finance company are treated
as contra-revenue because the Company acts as an agent in these transactions. Lastly, in markets where the Company cannot support this
program, drivers are allowed to bring their own insurance and pay it directly themselves with no involvement of the Company. No revenue
is collected or recognized in this instance. Because any insurance revenue is collected at contract inception and covers the fixed contract
period the Company recognizes insurance revenue ratably over the contract term.
F- 11
Initial non-refundable fees are recognized when payment
is received as the Company has no obligation to provide additional services at that point. Miscellaneous charges for extra mileage, late
fees, or toll charges calculated and charged to the customer credit card at the end of the usage cycle are recognized when the credit
card charge goes through. Refundable deposits are recorded on the balance sheet until deposits are returned to customers or applied to
their account for fees incurred. Deferred revenue includes rental and insurance amounts that are paid for contracts that overlap a reporting
date and relate to usages after that date. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022 refundable deposits were $ 2,234
and $ 0
and deferred revenue was $ 7,233
and $ 2,101 ,
respectively.
In addition to the costs associated
with rental revenue and insurance revenue, within the Cost of Goods Sold account the Company also records credit card fees incurred from
the cash collections and cash remittance process, as a significant portion of its performance obligation is to collect and remit payments
through its credit card processors.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation
expense for all restricted stock awards and stock options. The fair value of restricted stock awards is measured using the grant date
fair value of our stock, as determined by the Board of Directors. The fair value of stock options is estimated at the grant date using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and the portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation cost over the
requisite service period. We have elected to recognize compensation expense for all options with graded vesting on a straight-line basis
over the vesting period of the entire option. The determination of fair value using the BlackScholes pricing model is affected by our
stock value as well as assumptions regarding several complex and subjective variables, including expected stock price volatility and
the risk-free interest rate.
Advertising
and marketing Costs
Advertising and marketing costs
are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred advertising and marketing costs for the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 of $ 38,972
and $ 33,883 ,
respectively.
Income
Taxes
The provision for income taxes
and deferred income taxes are determined using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based
on temporary differences between the financial carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in
effect in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. On a periodic basis, the Company assesses the probability
that its net deferred tax assets, if any, will be recovered. If after evaluating all of the positive and negative evidence, a conclusion
is made that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be recovered, a valuation allowance
is provided by a charge to tax expense to reserve the portion of the deferred tax assets which are not expected to be realized.
Net
Loss per Share of Common Stock
The Company calculates net loss
per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock are computed
by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares and potential shares outstanding during the period. Potential shares
of common stock consist of shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible debt, preferred stock, warrants and stock option.
For the years ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss
per share as the result of the computation was anti-dilutive.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
the period from October 2023 through March 2024 the FASB has not issued any additional accounting standards updates that have a significant
impact on the Company. Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of these
pronouncements will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note
3 – Related Party Transactions
Related Party Notes Payable
On September 13, 2019, the Company
issued a Convertible Promissory Note to Driveitaway, LLC, a company controlled by John Possumato, the Company’s CEO, for $ 30,000 ,
with a maturity date of September 13, 2022. On October 13 and October 14, 2020, the Company issued Convertible Promissory Notes to Driveitaway,
LLC and Adam Potash, the Company’s COO, for $ 25,000
each, which mature on October 13 and 14, 2022, respectively. On December 24, 2020, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory
Note to Adam Potash, for $ 15,000 ,
which matures on December
24, 2022 . Each of the notes bear interest at a rate of 6 %
per annum. The notes automatically convert into preferred stock of DIA in the event DIA raises at least $ 1,000,000
by the issuance of preferred stock prior to the maturity dates of the notes (a “Qualified Financing”). In the event
DIA enters into a financing that is not a Qualified Financing prior to the maturity dates of the notes, the holders have the right to
convert their notes into the class and series of equity securities offered in the non-Qualified Financing at the offer price thereof.
In the event DIA effects a change of control, the holders have the option of converting their notes into common stock in order to participate
in the change of control or accelerating the maturity date and receiving cash at the time of the change of control.
At the closing of the Share Exchange
on February 24, 2022, the holders of the related party Convertible Promissory Notes agreed to convert all of the principal of $ 95,000
and interest of $ 9,565
due under the notes into 52,284

warrants with exercise price of $0.05 that expire on March
1, 2028 ( 5
year). As a result of the Company’s equity environment being tainted the warrants qualified for derivative accounting and
were assigned a value of $ 3,068
which was recorded as a derivative liability and debt discount (see Note 6).
During the years ended September
30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded related party interest expense of $ 4,918
and $ 2,296
respectively, and amortization of debt discount of $ 3,068
and $ 0
respectively. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the debt discount recorded on all related party notes was $ 0 ,
the promissory note payable – related party balance was $ 50,000 ,
and the convertible note payable – related party balance was $ 0 .
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had defaulted on the promissory notes payable with aggregate outstanding principal of $ 50,000
and owed unpaid interest of $ 4,918 .
Advances and Repayments
In the normal course of business,
the Company’s management team or their affiliates will make payments on behalf of the Company or will provide short-term advances
to the Company to cover operating expenses. During the year ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, related parties made payments on the Company’s

was issued to DriveItAway Holdings, Inc. in consideration for the sale of certain subsidiaries as a part of its recapitalization
(see Note 6). The note receivable was unsecured, due on April
20, 2022 , and was to incur interest at 15 %
per annum, provided that the payor has the right to satisfy the note in full by the return of 500,000
shares of the Company’s common stock for cancellation. In May 2022, the payor under the note receivable satisfied $100,000
due under the note in full by returning 500,000
shares of the Company’s common stock for cancellation (see Note 6). During the year ended September 30, 2022 the Company
offset the remaining $ 50,000
due under the note against accrued wages, therefore as of September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 the Note Receivable balance

Stock Options
On June 12, 2020, DIA’s
Board of Directors and its shareholders approved its 2020 Equity Compensation Plan (“Equity Plan”). The Equity Plan permits
DIA to issue awards or options to the employees, directors, consultants and advisors who provide services to the Company or a subsidiary.
Pursuant to the Equity Plan, 400,000
shares of DIA’s common stock were reserved for issuance. The Equity Plan allows DIA’s board or a committee of the
board to issue grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock awards, stock units, stock appreciation rights and
other equity-based awards.
As of September 30, 2021, DIA
had 300,000
stock options outstanding under the Equity Plan to Messrs. Possumato, CEO, and Potash, COO in equal amounts, of which 93,750
had vested. At the closing of the Share Exchange on February 24, 2022, 112,500
of the stock options had vested and Messrs. Possumato and Potash each agreed to each exercise their 56,250
vested stock options issued to them. The options were converted into 112,500
shares of DIA common stock, which was automatically converted into 112,500
shares of Series A Preferred. The balance of the stock options issued to Messrs. Possumato and Potash were cancelled. The stock
options had an exercise price of $ 0.75
per share. In lieu of paying the exercise price in cash, the exercise price was offset against accrued wages of $ 42,188
owed to each of Messrs. Possumato and Potash.
Also, at the closing of the
Share Exchange, DIA’s board cancelled the Equity Plan and all outstanding options were cancelled.
As of September 30, 2021, DIAH
had 2,177,571
options outstanding, of which 1,882,793
expired during the year ended September 30, 2022 and 294,778
were exercised in a cashless exchange for 155,103
common shares.
Accordingly, as of September
30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 the Company had no options outstanding.
Warrants
On February 24, 2022, in conjunction
with the issuance of a promissory note of $ 750,000 ,
the Company issued 1,000,000
warrants for $ 0.30
per share. The transaction led to no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon future settlement of the conversion
options (see Note 8), therefore the equity environment became tainted and the warrants qualified for derivative accounting and were assigned
a value of $ 107,283
which was recorded as a derivative liability and debt discount. The warrants expire on February
24, 2027 .
In June 2022, in conjunction
with a private offering and the issuance of secured promissory notes of $ 250,000
(see Note 8), the Company issued 125,000
warrants for $ 0.30
per share. As a result of the Company’s equity environment being tainted the warrants qualified for derivative accounting
and were assigned a value of $ 8,136
which was recorded as a derivative liability and debt discount. The warrants expire in June 2027.
In November 2022, in conjunction
with a private offering and the issuance of secured promissory notes of $ 200,000 ,
the Company issued 100,000
warrants for $ 0.30
per share. As a result of the Company’s equity environment being tainted the warrants qualified for derivative accounting
and were assigned a value of $ 4,074
which was recorded as a derivative liability and debt discount. The warrants expire in November 2027.
F- 16
In February 2023, in conjunction
with a promissory note amendment which was recognized as debt extinguishment, 2,000,000
warrants with exercise price of $ 0.05
were issued that expire on February
24, 2027 ( 4
year), which replaced the original 1,000,000
warrants issued with an exercise price of $ 0.30
previously issued with the original promissory note. As a result of the Company’s equity environment being tainted the warrants
qualified for derivative accounting and were assigned a value of $ 21,469
which was recorded as a derivative liability and debt discount.
In March 2023, 125,000
warrants with exercise price of $ 0.05
were issued that expire on March
1, 2028 ( 5
year). As a result of the Company’s equity environment being tainted the warrants qualified for derivative accounting and
were assigned a value of $ 3,837
which was recorded as a derivative liability and debt discount.
All derivative liabilities recognized
for the warrants issued were valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires six basic data inputs: the
exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock
price in the future, and the dividend rate. Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement
(see Note 9).

27, 2020. The Loan, which was in the form of a Note dated May 9, 2020 was to mature on May 8, 2022 and bear interest at a rate of 1 %
per annum, payable monthly commencing seven months from the date of the note, unless forgiven in whole or part in accordance with the
CARES Act. The Note may have been prepaid by the Borrower at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. In order to qualify
for forgiveness under the CARES Act, funds from the Loan could only be used for payroll costs, cost used to continue group health care
benefits, mortgage payments, rent, utilities and interest on other debt obligations incurred before February 15, 2020 (“qualifying
expenses”). The Company used the entire Loan amount for qualifying expenses, therefore, in December 2021, the PPP Loan of $ 23,750
and accrued interest of $ 398
were forgiven and recognized as other income. During the year ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded interest
expense of $ 0
and $ 59 ,
respectively.

Promissory Notes Payable, in Default
On March 1, 2023, the Company
entered into a promissory note agreement with an investor for amount of $ 12,500
with interest bearing at 15 %
per annum, maturity date of 120 days from issuance and issuance of 25,000
warrants with exercise price of $ 0.05
that expire on
March
1, 2028 (5 year). As a result of the Company’s equity environment being tainted the warrants qualified for
derivative accounting and were assigned a value of $ 767
which was recorded as a derivative liability and debt discount (see Note 6). During the year ended September 30,2023, the Company
recorded interest expense of $ 1,109
and amortization of debt discount of $ 767 .
As of September 30, 2023, the debt discount recorded on the note was $ 0 ,
resulting in a note payable balance of $ 12,500
and accrued interest of $ 1,109 .
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had defaulted on the promissory note payable.
Promissory Notes Payable
On May 1, 2023 the Company executed
a note payable with a face amount of $ 35,982 .
Under the terms of the agreement, the lender will withhold 20% of the Company’s daily funds arising from sales through the lender’s
payment processing services until the Company has repaid the $ 35,982
(including fixed fees of $ 3,682
or approximately 10% of the note amount). The Company received net proceeds of $ 32,300
and the $ 3,685
of fixed fees were recorded as debt discount. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had amortized the full $ 3,682
of debt discount, had made repayments of $ 27,752 ,
and rolled $ 8,230
of the notes principal still due into a second note (see below), therefore the loan was considered paid in full.
On August 15, 2023 the Company
executed a second note payable with the same lender from the May 1, 2023 note, with a face amount of $ 64,206 .
Under the terms of the agreement, the lender will withhold 20% of the Company’s daily funds arising from sales through the lender’s
payment processing services until the Company has repaid the $ 64,206
(including fixed fees of $ 6,206
or approximately 10% of the note amount). The Company received net proceeds of $ 49,770
after paying off the May 1, 2023 note and rolling $ 8,230
of its balance into the August 15, 2023 note and recording the $ 6,206
of fixed fees as a debt discount. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had amortized $ 345
of the debt discount and made repayments of $ 42,011 ,

8 – Convertible Notes Payable
Knightsgate Ventures II, LP Note
On April 1, 2021, DIA borrowed
$ 150,000
in Convertible Notes from Knightsgate Ventures II, LP, a third-party lender at a rate of 8 %.
The loan matures on December
31, 2022 .
The Convertible Note automatically
converts into preferred stock of DIA in the event DIA raised at least $ 2,000,000
by the issuance of preferred stock prior to the maturity date of the Convertible Note (a “Qualified Financing”), in
which case the conversion price is equal to the lesser of (i) 90% of the price paid by investors in the Qualified Financing or (ii) the
price obtained by dividing $6,000,000 by the Company’s fully diluted shares outstanding immediately prior to conversion (the “Cap
Price”). In the event DIA had not entered into a Qualified Financing prior to the maturity date, the Convertible Note is convertible
at the option of the holder into DIA common stock on the Maturity Date at a price per share equal to the Cap Price. In the event DIA
effects a change of control, the holder has the option of converting the Convertible Note into DIA’s common stock at a price per
share equal to the Cap Price or accelerating the maturity date and receiving cash at the time of the change of control.
Effective February 24, 2022,
principal of $ 250,000
and accrued interest of $ 10,816
was converted into 72,368
shares of DIA’s common stock, which was automatically converted into 72,368
shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred stock in accordance with the Share Exchange Agreement (see Note 6), resulting
in $ 0
owed to the lender as of September 30, 2022.
During the years ended September
30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded interest expense for the note of $ 0
and $ 4,833 ,
respectively.
Individual Investor Notes
During the year ended September
30, 2022, DIA issued an aggregate of five convertible notes to five investors, each for $ 25,000 .
The notes bear interest at a rate of 8 %
per annum, mature on December
31, 2022 , and are convertible into DIA’s common stock on the same basis that is described for the Convertible
Note issued to Knightsgate Ventures II, LP on April 1, 2021, as described above. During the year ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the
Company recorded interest expense of $ 0
and $ 2,641
on the notes, respectively
In March 2022, the holders of all
of the convertible notes issued to unrelated investors agreed to convert their notes of $ 125,000
and accrued interest of $ 2,641
into 57,441
shares of DIA’s common stock, each of which was automatically converted into one share of Series A Preferred stock in accordance
with the Share Exchange Agreement (see Note 6), resulting in $ 0
owed to the investors as of September 30, 2022.
AJB Capital Investments, LLC Note
Effective February 24, 2022,
the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with AJB Capital Investments, LLC (“AJB”),
and issued a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $ 750,000
(the “AJB Note”) to AJB in a private transaction for a purchase price of $ 675,000
(after giving effect to a 10% original issue discount). In connection with the sale of the AJB Note, the Company also paid $ 33,750
in certain fees and due diligence costs of AJB and brokerage fees to J.H. Darbie & Co., a registered broker dealer. After
payment of the fees and costs, the net proceeds to the Company were $ 641,250 ,
which will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
F- 19
The maturity date of the AJB
Note was extended to February
24, 2023 . The AJB Note bears interest at 10 %
per annum for the original note’s period and 12% per annum for extension period which was started from August 24, 2022, and it
is payable on the first of each month beginning April 1, 2022. The Company may prepay the AJB Note at any time without penalty.
The note is convertible into
Common Stock of the Company at any time that the note is in default, provided that at no time may the note be convertible into an amount
of common stock that would result in the holder having beneficial ownership of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock,
as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The conversion
price equals the lowest trading price during either the 20 days trading days prior to the date of conversion or the 20 trading days prior
to the date of issuance of the note (which was $0.14 per share). The conversion is subject to reduction in the following situations:
(i) a 10% discount will apply anytime a conversion occurs when the company is not eligible to deliver the shares by DWAC; (ii) a 15%
discount will apply whenever the shares are “chilled” for deposit into the DTC system; (iii) a 15% discount will apply if
the Company’s common stock ceases to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act; (iv) a 15% discount will apply if the
note cannot be converted into free trading shares 181 days after its issue date; (v) in the event any other party has the right to convert
debt into Common Stock at a greater discount to market than under the note, then the holder has the right to utilize such discount in
determining the conversion price; or (vi) if the Company issues any shares of Common Stock for less than the conversion price in effect
on the date of issuance, including any options, warrants or securities convertible into Common Stock at price less than the conversion
price, then the conversion price shall be automatically reduced to the amount of consideration received by the company for such shares,
except for any issuance that is an exempt issuance.
Also pursuant to the SPA, the Company
was to pay AJB a commitment fee of $ 800,000 ,
payable in the form of 4,000,000
unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Commitment Fee Shares”) which were issued at note inception.
If, after the sixth month anniversary of closing and before the thirty-sixth month anniversary of closing, AJB has been unable to sell
the Commitment Fee Shares for $ 800,000 ,
then the Company may be required to issue additional shares or pay cash in the amount of the shortfall. However, if the Company pays
the AJB Note off on or before its maturity date, then the Company may redeem 2,000,000
of the Commitment Fee Shares for one dollar and the amount of the commitment fee will be reduced to $ 400,000 .
On issuance of the note, the Company determined that the guarantee on the commitment fee was a make-whole provision and an embedded derivative
within the host instrument. The guarantee was bifurcated from the host instrument and recorded as a derivative liability valued at $ 384,287
using a Black-Scholes option pricing model (see Note 9).
Pursuant to the SPA, the Company
also issued to AJB common stock purchase warrants (the “warrants”) to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock for $ 0.30
per share, which was assigned a value of $107,283 that was recorded as derivative liability (see Notes 6 and 9). The warrants
expire on February
24, 2027 . The warrants also include various covenants of the Company for the benefit of the warrant holder and
includes a beneficial ownership limitation on the holder that, in certain circumstances, may serve to restrict the holder’s right
to exercise the warrants.
After recording the derivative
liabilities associated with the SPA, the Company allocated the net proceeds to the 4,000,000
common shares issued and the note itself based on their relative fair market values, resulting in the common shares being assigned
a value of $ 65,274
(see Note 6). The allocation of the financing costs of $ 108,750 ,
the derivative for the guarantee of $ 384,287 ,
the derivative for the warrant of $ 107,283 ,
and issuance of the 4,000,000
Commitment Fee shares of $ 65,274 ,
to the debt component resulted in a $ 665,594
debt discount that is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the AJB Note.
On October 31, 2022, the Company
amended the AJB Note to issue 1,000,000
additional Commitment Fee Shares, recognizing the value of the shares and a debt discount of $ 60,000
(see Note 6).
On February 10, 2023, the Company
entered into second amendment with AJB by increasing the original principal of the note by $85,000, which increased the restricted cash
balance to be used for payments for professional services, replacing the original 1,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.30
with 2,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.05 (see Note 6), and extending the maturity date of the note to May 24, 2023. The
Company determined the extension of cash and modification to other terms met the conditions of a debt extinguishment; therefore the Company
recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt for the total amount of $36,313 included in other income (expenses) within the accompanying
statement of operation.
F- 20
On September 27, 2023, the Company
entered into second amendment with AJB by increasing the original principal of the note by $ 25,000
which increased the restricted cash balance to be used for payments for professional services.
During the year ended September
30, 2022, the Company recorded interest expense of $ 46,958 ,
amortization of debt discount of $ 665,594 ,
a gain on change in fair value of derivative liability of $ 393,641
for the guarantee and warrants and repaid $ 45,203
of interest. As of September 30, 2022, the derivative liability was $ 97,927
and the debt discount recorded on the note was $ 0 ,
resulting in a note payable balance of $ 750,000 .
As of September 30, 2022, the Company owes unpaid interest of $ 1,755 .
During the year ended September
30, 2023, the Company recorded interest expense of $ 97,849 ,

(of which $ 65,259
was amortized and $ 7,241
was recorded as part of the loss on debt extinguishment), recorded a loss on change in fair value of derivative liability of $ 126,338 ,
recorded an additional $ 29,072
for a loss on debt extinguishment, and repaid $31,042 of interest. As of September 30, 2023, the derivative liability was $ 663 ,
the debt discount recorded on the note was $ 0 ,
the note payable principal was $ 860,000 ,
and the Company owed accrued interest of $ 68,562 .
Effective February 14, 2023 the
Company went into default on the AJB Note, however the lender waived all default provisions through January 24, 2024 therefore no default
interest or penalties were incurred during the year ended September 30, 2023 and the AJB note was not convertible as of September 30,
2023.
Secured Convertible Notes
In June 2022, the Company’s
board of directors approved an offering of up to 10
Units at $ 50,000
per Unit in a private offering. Each Unit consists of a Secured Convertible Note with an original principal balance of $ 50,000
and one warrant to purchase Common Stock for every $2 invested in the offering. The warrants have an exercise price of $ 0.30
per share and expire five ( 5 )
years from the date of issuance. Each Secured Convertible Note bears interest at 15 %
per annum, matures two years after the date of issuance, and is convertible at the option of the holder into common stock at $ 0.20
per share. Pursuant to a security agreement between the Company and investors in the Unit offering, and the subscription agreements
executed by the Company and the investors, the Secured Convertible Notes are secured by liens on four existing electric vehicles that
were owned by the Company at the time of the commencement of the offering, and eight additional electric vehicles that will be purchased
with the proceeds of the offering, assuming all 10 Units are sold in the offering. The Company also granted subscribers in the Unit offering
piggyback registration rights with respect to any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Secured Convertible Notes or
upon exercise of the warrants issued in the Unit offering.
During June 2022, the Company sold
a total of $ 250,000
worth of Units to U.S. Escrow Services Corporation and Kevin Leach, two accredited investors, which resulted in the issuance of
two secured promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of $ 250,000
for cash proceeds of $ 230,000
(net of an original issuance discount of $ 20,000 ),
and the issuance of 125,000
warrants (see Note 6). The $ 20,000
was recorded as a debt discount and the conversion option embedded in the notes was bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative
liability resulting in the Company recording a debt discount and derivative liability of $ 50,491 .
As a result of the Company’s equity environment being tainted the warrants qualified for derivative accounting and were assigned
a value of $ 8,136
which was recorded as a derivative liability (see Note 9) and debt discount. The total debt discount of $ 78,627
is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Note.
During November 2022, the Company
sold a total of $ 200,000
worth of Units to Cestone Family Foundation and Michele and Agnese Cestone Foundation, two accredited investors, which resulted
in the issuance of two secured promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of $ 200,000
for cash proceeds of $ 180,000
(net of an original issuance discount of $ 20,000 ),
and the issuance of 100,000
warrants (see Note 6). The $ 20,000
was recorded as a debt discount and the conversion option embedded in the notes was bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative
liability resulting in the Company recording a debt discount and derivative liability of $ 19,330 .
As a result of the Company’s equity environment being tainted the warrants qualified for derivative accounting and were assigned
a value of $ 7,254
which was recorded as a derivative liability (see Note 9) and debt discount). The total debt discount of $ 43,124
is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Note.
During the year ended September
30, 2022, the Company recorded interest expense of $ 11,583
and amortization of debt discount of $ 11,967 .
As of September 30, 2022, the debt discount recorded on the note was $ 66,660 ,
resulting in a note payable balance of $ 183,340 .

Note
9 – Derivative Liabilities
As discussed in Note 8, certain
features and instruments issued as part of the Company’s debt financing arrangements qualified for derivative accounting under
ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as the number of common shares that are to be issued under the arrangements are indeterminate, therefore
the Company’s equity environment is tainted.
ASC 815 requires we record the
fair market value of the derivative liabilities at inception and at the end of each reporting period and recognize any change in the
fair market value as other income or expense item.
The Company determined our derivative
liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and used the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair values at inception
and as of September 30, 2023. The Black-Scholes model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration,
the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate.
Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The following assumptions were used in
the Black-Scholes model during the year ended September 30, 2023:
Schedule of defined benefit plan, assumptions
Expected term

10 – Income Taxes
The
Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities
and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for certai n deferred
tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
The components of the Company’s

The net operating losses (“NOLs”)
carry forwards are subject to certain limitations due to the change in control of the Company pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section
382. The Company experienced a change in control for tax purposes in February 24, 2022. Due to change of control, the Company estimates
not being able to carryover approximately $ 1,700,000 of
NOL generated before February 24, 2022 to offset future income.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company
had approximately $ 2,677,000 of
net operating loss carryforwards that may be offset against future taxable income. No tax benefit has been reported in the September
30, 2023 consolidated financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. Tax
returns for the years ended 2020 and forward are subject to review by the tax authorities.

11 – Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent
events through the date these financial statements were available to be issued. Please note the following matters deemed to be subsequent
events.
On November 28, 2023, the Company
entered into a third amendment with AJB Capital Investments, LLC by increasing the original principal of note with amount of $22,222
in which the Company received $20,000 in cash (after giving effect to a 10% original issue discount) for payment to vendors.
Effective December 15, 2023, the
Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with AJB Capital Investments, LLC (“AJB”), and
issued a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $ 195,000
(the “AJB Note”) to AJB in a private transaction for a purchase price of $ 165,750
(after giving effect to a 15% original issue discount). In connection with the sale of the AJB Note, the Company also paid certain
fees and due diligence costs of AJB and brokerage fees. After payment of the fees and costs, the net proceeds to the Company were $ 150,750 ,
which will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The maturity date of the AJB Note
is June
15, 2024 . The AJB Note bears interest at 10 %
per year, and principal and accrued interest is due on the maturity date. The Company may prepay the AJB Note at any time without penalty.
The note is convertible into
Common Stock of the Company at any time that the note is in default, provided that at no time may the note be convertible into an amount
of common stock that would result in the holder having beneficial ownership of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock,
as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The conversion
price equals the lowest trading price during either the 20 days trading days prior to the date of conversion or the 20 trading days prior
to the date of issuance of the note (which was $0.14 per share). The conversion is subject to reduction in the following situations:
(i) a 15% discount will apply anytime a conversion occurs when the company is not eligible to deliver the shares by DWAC; (ii) a 15%
discount will apply whenever the shares are “chilled” for deposit into the DTC system; (iii) a 15% discount will apply if
the Company’s common stock ceases to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act; (iv) a 15% discount will apply if the
note cannot be converted into free trading shares 181 days after its issue date; (v) in the event any other party has the right to convert
debt into Common Stock at a greater discount to market than under the note, then the holder has the right to utilize such discount in
determining the conversion price; or (vi) if the Company issues any shares of Common Stock for less than the conversion price in effect
on the date of issuance, including any options, warrants or securities convertible into Common Stock at price less than the conversion
price, then the conversion price shall be automatically reduced to the amount of consideration received by the company for such shares,
except for any issuance that is an exempt issuance.
In December 2023, in conjunction
with the issuance of a promissory note of $ 195,000 , the Company issued warrants to purchase 5,000,000
shares of Company’s common stock for nominal exercise price of $ 0.00001 per share. The warrant is exercised at any time
on or after December 15, 2023 and until the warrant is exercised in full. The warrants also include various covenants of the Company
for the benefit of the warrant holder and includes a beneficial ownership limitation on The holder that, in certain circumstances, may
serve to restrict the holder’s right to exercise the warrants. As a result of the Company’s equity environment being tainted
the warrants qualified for derivative accounting and were assigned a value of $ 248,952 which was recorded as a derivative liability.
The note was discounted to a principal balance of $ 0 and a debt discount of $ 195,000 was recorded at inception. The difference between
the fair value of the warrants and the net proceeds received was recognized as interest expense.
Effective February 23, 2024,
the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with AJB Capital Investments, LLC (“AJB”),
and issued a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $ 140,000 (the “AJB Note”) to AJB in a private transaction for a purchase
price of $ 112,000 (after giving effect to a 20% original issue discount). In connection with the sale of the AJB Note, the Company also
paid certain fees and due diligence costs of AJB and brokerage fees. After payment of the fees and costs, the net proceeds to the Company
were $ 102,000 , which will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The maturity date of the AJB Note is November
23, 2024 . The AJB Note bears interest at 12 % per year, and principal and accrued interest is due on the maturity date. The Company
may prepay the AJB Note at any time without penalty.
Also pursuant to the SPA, the Company was to pay AJB a commitment fee of $ 50,000 , payable in the form of 5,000,000
unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Commitment Fee Shares”) which were issued at note inception.

Item 9. Changes in
and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures
Our Principal Executive Officer
and Principal Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our
Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that in light of the material weaknesses described below, our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2023. See material weaknesses discussed below in Management’s Annual
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in
the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Our internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes
in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that
receipts and expenditure are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material
effect on the financial statements.
A material weakness is a deficiency,
or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As of September 30, 2023, we
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our management concluded that our internal
controls over financial reporting were not effective as of September 30, 2023 due to the following identified material weaknesses:
● Our control environment is inadequate.
We have no risk assessment procedures, no formal information or communication process, and
no monitoring activities in place. Additionally, we lack policies that require formal written
approval for related party transactions.
● We have not established and/or maintained
adequately designed internal controls in order to prevent or detect and correct material
misstatements to financial statements. We do not have controls in place to prevent individuals
from manipulating financial data or entering inaccurate data into the accounting software,
and there are no controls over the financial reporting close process. Additionally, we lack
segregation of duties and review procedures to ensure our financial data is accurate.
● We lack the necessary accounting resources
with sufficient SEC reporting experience, US GAAP knowledge and accounting experience. We
also lack the resources to properly account for complex debt and equity transactions and
are unable to analyze such transactions timely or in sufficient detail.
16
Management believes that despite
our material weaknesses, our consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2023 are fairly stated, in all material
respects, in accordance with GAAP.
(c) Changes in Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting
During the fourth quarter of
2023, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls
Management, including our Principal
Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors
and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that
the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are no resource
constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control
systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the
Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgements in decision making can be faulty, and that
breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some
persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls.
Attestation Report of the Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm
This Annual Report does not
include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Our management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Dodd-Frank
Act that permanently exempted smaller reporting companies from the auditor attestation requirement.

Term of Office

for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our stockholders or until removed from office in accordance
with our Bylaws and the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Our directors hold office after the expiration of his or
her term until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her resignation, death, or removal in accordance with our
Bylaws or the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Our officers are appointed by
our board of directors and hold office until removed by our board of directors at any time for any reason.
18
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships
between or among any of our directors or executive officers or persons nominated or chosen by us to become directors or executive officers.
Director Independence
Our board of directors has reviewed
the independence of our directors and has determined that no director qualifies as an independent director pursuant to Rule 5605(a)(2)
of Nasdaq and applicable SEC rules and regulations. In making this determination, our board of directors considered the relationships
that each of our directors has with us and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their
independence.
Board Committees
Our board of directors has no
separately designated committees and our board members carry out the functions of both an audit committee and a compensation committee.
We do not have an audit committee financial expert serving on our board of directors. Due to our limited financial resources, we are
not in a position to retain an independent director with the qualifications to serve as an audit committee financial expert at this time.
Audit Committee Financial
Expert
The Board has determined that
it does not have an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of SEC rules.
Code of Ethics
The Company has adopted a Code
of Ethics applicable to its principal executive, financial and accounting officers and persons performing similar functions, as well
as all directors and employees of the Company.
Communication with the Board
Our stockholders and other interested
parties may send written communications directly to the Board or to specified individual directors, including the Chairman or any other
non-management directors, by sending such communications to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, P.O. Box 4502, Boise, Idaho 83711.
Such communications will be reviewed by our outside legal counsel and, depending on the content, will be:
● forwarded
to the addressees or distributed at the next scheduled board meeting;
● if
they relate to financial or accounting matters, forwarded to the audit committee or distributed
at the next scheduled audit committee meeting;
● if
they relate to executive officer compensation matters, forwarded to the compensation committee
or discussed at the next scheduled compensation committee meeting;
● if
they relate to the recommendation of the nomination of an individual, forwarded to the full
Board or discussed at the next scheduled Board meeting; or
● if
they relate to our operations, forwarded to the appropriate officers of our company, and
the response or other handling of such communications reported to the Board at the next scheduled
board meeting.
If multiple communications are
received on a similar topic, the Secretary may, in his discretion, forward only representative correspondence. Any communications that
are abusive, in bad taste or present safety or security concerns may be handled differently.
19
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting
Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange
Act requires directors, executive officer and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities
to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports or changes in ownership of such equity securities. Such persons are also
required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based upon a review of the copies of the forms furnished
to us and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that, during the year ended September 30, 2022, none of
our executive officers, directors or beneficial owners of more than 10% of any class of registered equity security failed to file on
a timely basis any such report.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
The following identifies the
elements of compensation for the fiscal years 2022 and 2021 with respect to our “named executive officers,” which term is
defined by Item 402 of the SEC’s Regulation S-K to include (i) all individuals serving as our principal executive officer at any
time during fiscal year 2021, (ii) our two most highly compensated executive officers other than the principal executive officer who
were serving as executive officers at September 30, 2022 and whose total compensation (excluding nonqualified deferred compensation earnings)
exceeded $100,000, and (iii) up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided pursuant to the foregoing
item (ii) but for the fact that the individual was not serving as an executive officer of the Company at September 30, 2021.

The
number of shares beneficially owned by each 5% stockholder, director or executive officer is determined under the rules of the Securities

warrant or other right, or the conversion of any security. Unless otherwise indicated, each person or entity has sole voting and investment
power (or shares such power with his or her spouse) with respect to the shares set forth in the following table. The inclusion in the

13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Related
Party Convertible Notes Payable
On
September 13, 2019, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note to Driveitaway, LLC, a company controlled by John Possumato, the
Company’s CEO, for $30,000, with a maturity date of September 13, 2022. On October 13 and October 14, 2020, the Company issued
Convertible Promissory Notes to Driveitaway, LLC and Adam Potash, the Company’s COO, for $25,000 each, which mature on October
13 and 14, 2022, respectively. On December 24, 2020, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note to Adam Potash, for $15,000, which
matures on December 24, 2022. Each of the notes bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum. The notes automatically convert into preferred
stock of DIA in the event DIA raises at least $1,000,000 by the issuance of preferred stock prior to the maturity dates of the notes
(a “Qualified Financing”). In the event DIA enters into a financing that is not a Qualified Financing prior to the maturity
dates of the notes, the holders have the right to convert their notes into the class and series of equity securities offered in the non-Qualified
Financing at the offer price thereof. In the event DIA effects a change of control, the holders have the option of converting their notes
into common stock in order to participate in the change of control or accelerating the maturity date and receiving cash at the time of
the change of control.
At
the closing of the Share Exchange on February 24, 2022, the holders of the related party Convertible Promissory Notes agreed to convert
all of the principal and interest of $104,564 due under the notes into 52,284 shares of DIA common stock, which was automatically converted
into 52,284 shares of Series A Preferred.
During
the years ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded interest expense for related parties of $4,918 and $2,296, respectively.
As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had accrued interest owed to related parties of $4,918 and $0, respectively.
Advances
and Repayments
In
the normal course of business, the Company’s management team or their affiliates will make payments on behalf of the Company or
will provide short-term advances to the Company to cover operating expenses. During the year ended September 30, 2023, related parties
made payments on the Company’s behalf or provided short-term advances to the Company totaling $26,460 and the Company made repayments
to related parties of $1,460. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company owed related parties $25,080 and $80, respectively, for
this activity.
Director
Independence
Our
current Board consists of John Possumato, and Adam Potash. Our common stock is currently quoted on the over-the-counter market. Since
the over-the-counter market does not have its own rules for director independence, we use the definition of independence established
by the NASDAQ Stock Market. Under applicable NASDAQ Stock Market rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director”
if none of the following conditions existed throughout the year (a) was employed by us, (b) received more than $120,000 in compensation
from us, other than for board services, (c) had a family member who was employed as an executive officer of us, (d) was, or had a family
member that was, a partner, controlling shareholder or executive officer of any organization that received payments for property or services
that exceeded the greater of 5% of the recipient’s gross revenues or $200,000, (e) was, or had a family member that was, employed
as an executive officer of another entity during the past three years where any of the executive officers of us serve on the compensation
committee, or (f) was, or had a family member that was, a partner in our auditor at any time in the past three years. At this time, we
have determined that we have no independent directors.
The
Board does not currently have any committees. The Board has approved the formation of an Audit Committee, and an Audit Committee charter,
but no members currently serve on the Audit Committee. The independent directors perform the functions of the Audit Committee.

of the above services and fees during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were reviewed and approved by our Board before
the respective services were rendered.
