Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and as amended by Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The December 31, 2022 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for any other interim period or for the full year.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PARTS iD, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary PARTS iD, LLC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Critical accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the level of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material. The Company’s critical accounting estimates and assumptions affecting the financial statements include revenue recognition, return allowances, allowance for credit losses, depreciation, inventory valuation, valuation of deferred income tax assets and the capitalization and recoverability of software development costs.

Stock Compensation

Compensation expense related to stock option awards and restricted stock units granted to certain employees, directors and consultants is based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date. If the service inception date precedes the grant date, accrual of compensation cost for periods before the grant date is based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. In the period in which the grant date occurs, cumulative compensation cost is adjusted to reflect the cumulative effect of measuring compensation cost based on fair value at the grant date rather than the fair value previously used at the service inception date or any subsequent reporting date. Forfeitures are recorded as they occur. The Company recognizes compensation cost related to time-vested options and restricted stock units with graded vesting features on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Compensation cost related to performance-vesting options and performance-based units, where a performance condition or a market condition that affects vesting exists, is recognized over the shortest of the explicit, implicit, or defined service periods. Compensation cost is adjusted depending on whether the performance condition is achieved. If the achievement of the performance condition is probable or becomes probable, the full fair value of the award is recognized. If the achievement of the performance condition is not probable or ceases to be probable, then no compensation cost is recognized or amounts previously recognized are reversed.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that expose the Company to a concentration of credit risk principally include cash and accounts receivable balances. The Company has significant cash balances at financial institutions which throughout the year regularly exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company manages accounts receivable credit risk through its policy of limiting extensions of credit to customers. Substantially all customer orders are paid by credit card at the point of sale.

Going Concern

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assts and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have operated with a negative working capital model since our inception. The Company has a working capital deficiency of approximately $45.9 million. We continue to face macro-economic headwinds and the resulting declining revenue and profitability, which increased the working capital deficit, and resulted in the use of approximately $3.6 million in cash from operating activities, of which $0.5 million was attributable to changes in working capital during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. With this, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business, and does not reflect any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to our ability to continue as a going concern.

To address liquidity concerns, the Company is pursuing additional financing and continues to restructure and optimize its operations including moderating capital investments, improving gross margin, reducing expenses, and renegotiating vendor payment terms. In addition, to address its liquidity needs, the Company recently obtained an aggregate of (i) $5 million of net funding from JGB (as discussed below) and (ii) $2.9 million from the sale and issuance of convertible notes and warrants (as discussed below). $2.0 million was used to pay JGB pursuant to the Amendment to the Loan Agreement (as discussed below).

PARTS iD has also retained Canaccord Genuity Group, Inc. (“Canaccord”) as its financial advisor and DLA Piper LLP (US) as its legal counsel to assist in evaluating potential strategic alternatives.

There can be no assurance that the evaluation of strategic alternatives will result in any potential transaction, or any assurance as to its outcome or timing. PARTS iD has not set a timetable for completion of the process and does not intend to disclose developments related to the process unless and until PARTS iD executes a definitive agreement with respect thereto, or the Board otherwise determines that further disclosure is appropriate or required.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable balances include amounts due from customers. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable balances to determine whether an allowance for credit losses is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts, historical occurrences of credit losses, existing economic conditions, and other circumstances that may indicate that the realization of an account is in doubt. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the Company determined that an allowance for credit losses was not necessary.

Inventory

Inventory consists of purchased goods that are immediately available-for-sale and are stated at the lower cost or net realizable value, determined using the first-in first-out method. Merchandise-in-transit directly from suppliers to customers is recorded in inventory until the product is delivered to the customer. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, merchandise-in-transit amounted to $413,628 and $957,735, respectively. The risk of loss is transferred from the supplier to the Company at the shipping point. Since the purchased goods are immediately shipped directly from suppliers to customers the Company deemed that an inventory reserve for obsolete or slow-moving goods was unnecessary.

Other Current Assets

Other current assets include advances to vendors amounting to $2,204,192 and $1,796,680 as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively, which is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Website and Software Development

The Company capitalizes certain costs associated with website and software developed for internal use in accordance with ASC 350-50, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Website Development Costs, and ASC 350-40, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal Use Software, when both the preliminary project design and the testing stage are completed and management has authorized further funding for the project, which it deems probable of completion and to be used for the function intended. Capitalized costs include amounts related to website and software development such as contractors’ fees, payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the internal-use software project. Capitalization of such costs ceases when the project is complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalized costs are amortized over a three-year period commencing on the date that the specific module or platform is placed in service. Costs incurred during the preliminary stages of development and ongoing maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of indefinite-lived domain names and are stated at cost less impairment losses, if any. The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the intangible asset may not be recoverable. When such events occur, the Company compares the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted expected future cash flows related to the asset. If the comparison indicates that an impairment exists, the amount of the impairment is calculated as the difference between the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset. The Company has determined that there were no triggering events in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, and no impairment charges were necessary.

During the first quarter of 2023 the Company sold its Onyx.com domain name for $250,000.

Accounts Payable

Accounts payable as of March 31, 2023, consisted of amounts payable to vendors of $34.8 million and credit card payable of $3.3 million payable to a credit card company. The Company has not reached a definitive agreement with the credit card company on paying off the balance owed. The Company stopped making any payments and is responsible for late fees and any interest on the outstanding balance. As of December 31,2022, accounts payable consisted of amounts payable to vendors of $33.1 million and $3.3 million credit card payable to the same credit card company mentioned above.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). This standard replaced all previous accounting guidance on this topic, eliminated all industry-specific guidance and provided a unified model to determine how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard requires companies to use more judgment and make more estimates than under prior guidance. Judgments include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of consideration to include in the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation.

In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under its agreements, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identifies contracts with customers; (ii) identifies performance obligation(s); (iii) determines the transaction price; (iv) allocates the transaction price to the performance obligation(s); and (v) recognizes revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

The Company recognizes revenue on product sales through its website as the principal in the transaction as the Company has concluded it controls the product before it is transferred to the customer. The Company controls products when it is the entity responsible for fulfilling the promise to the customer and takes responsibility for the acceptability of the goods, assumes inventory risk from shipment through the delivery date, has discretion in establishing prices, and selects the suppliers of products sold.

Sales discounts earned by customers at the time of purchase and taxes collected from customers, which are remitted to governmental authorities, are deducted from gross revenue in determining net revenue. Allowances for sales returns are estimated and recorded based on historical experience and reduce product revenue, inclusive of shipping fees, by expected product returns. Allowances for sales returns at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, were $1,210,692 and $549,250, respectively.

The Company has two types of contractual liabilities: (a) amounts received from customers prior to the delivery of products are recorded as customer deposits in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and are recognized as revenue when the products are delivered, which amounted to $1,169,758 and $3,098,119 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and (ii) site credits (which are initially recorded in accrued expenses and are recognized as revenue in the period they are redeemed), amounting to $3,533,519 and $3,414,019 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold consists of the cost of product sold to customers, plus shipping and handling costs and shipping supplies, net of vendor rebates.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred $1.1 million in advertising costs during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, and $9.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Income Taxes

The Company is a C corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates for years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced by the amount of any tax benefit that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized, and a corresponding allowance is established. The current income tax provision reflects the tax consequences of revenues and expenses currently taxable or deductible on the Company’s various income tax returns for the reporting year.

ASC 740 also provides guidance on the accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, management concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company files U.S. federal and State of New Jersey tax returns and had no unrecognized tax benefits at March 31 ,2023 and December 31, 2022.

The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such expenses as a component of income tax expense. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of or during the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals, or material deviations from its filing positions.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

For the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, basic net loss per common share was determined by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For purposes of calculating diluted net loss per common share, the denominator includes both the weighted average common shares outstanding and the number of common stock equivalents if the inclusion of such common stock equivalents would be dilutive. Dilutive common stock equivalents potentially include performance-based stock units and unvested restricted stock units using the treasury stock method. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to compute basic and diluted net loss per common share due to the Company’s net loss.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires an “incurred loss” methodology for recognizing credit losses that delays recognition until it is probable that a loss has been incurred. This ASU is effective for smaller reporting companies for years beginning January 1,2023. The Company adopted Topic 326 on January 1, 2023, and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties

In February 2022, the Russian Federation launched a full-scale invasion against Ukraine, and sustained conflict and disruption in the region is ongoing. The Company’s engineering and product data development team as well as back office and part of its customer service center are in Ukraine. The Company’s ability to maintain adequate liquidity for its operations is dependent upon several factors, including its revenue and earnings, the impacts of COVID-19 and Russian-Ukraine conflict on macroeconomic conditions, and its ability to take further cost savings and cash conservation measures if necessary. The Russian-Ukraine conflict could have a material adverse effect upon the Company.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes from the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (our “2022 Form 10-K”).

Depreciation of property and equipment for three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $1,998,916 and $1,954,462, respectively.

Note 5 – Debt

On October 21, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with JGB Collateral, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“JGB”), in its capacity as collateral agent (the “Agent”) and the several financial institutions or entities that from time to time become parties to the Loan Agreement as lenders (collectively, the “Lender”).

The Loan Agreement provided for term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $11.0 million under two tranches. The tranches consist of (a) a first tranche consisting of term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $5.5 million, of which the entire amount was funded to the Company on the Closing Date (the “Initial Term Loan Advance”); and (ii) a second tranche consisting of term loans in the aggregate principal amount of an additional $5.5 million, which may funded to the Company by the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion (subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement) until the date that is six months after the Closing Date (the “Second Term Loan Advance” and together with the Initial Term Loan Advance, the “Term Loan Advances”). Each of the Term Loan Advances will be issued with an original issue discount of $500,000.

In connection with the entry into the Loan Agreement, with respect to the Initial Term Loan Advance, the Company issued to the Lender a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 1,000,000 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Warrant will be exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at a per-share exercise price equal to $2.00, subject to certain adjustments as specified in the Warrant. If the Company seeks and obtains the Second Loan Term Advance in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company will issue another Warrant to the Lender to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a per-share exercise price equal to $2.00 and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as the Warrant issued with respect to the Initial Term Loan Advance. The Warrant also provides for customary shelf and piggyback registration rights with respect to the Warrant Shares.

The effective interest rate on the Initial Term Loan Advance of $5.5 million note was 17.9%. The Company incurred debt issue issuance costs of approximately $165,000 in connection with this loan and recorded a discount of $500,000. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $4.2 million outstanding net of amortization of debt issuance costs of $18,903 and $56,735 amortization of discount on the note. The Company incurred $166,527 of interest expense on the note during the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. A portion of the note was attributed to the warrants for 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s stock which at the time of issuance had been valued at $799,000 using the Black-Scholes model. As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of the warrant was determined to be approximately $551,000 and at March 31, 2023 the fair value of the warrant was determined to be $73,000, and accordingly, the decrease in its value was recorded as a change in fair value of warrants on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The loan requires the Company to make 30 monthly payments of $183,333 beginning on April 30, 2023, with the last payment due September 30, 2025. On January 6, 2023, the Company notified its Agent and Lender that it was not in compliance with the Consolidated Quarterly Net Revenue Covenant (as defined in the Loan Agreement) for the calendar quarter ended December 31, 2022. On February 22, 2023, the Company and JGB executed an amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “Amendment”) and on February 27, 2023, the Company repaid $2.0 million of the loan to JGB.

On February 22, 2023 the Company and the Agent executed an amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “Amendment”), which, among other things, (i) the Company agreed to repay the principal amount of the term loan to the Agent in the following installments: (A) $2 million on February 23, 2023, (B) $1 million on August 22, 2023 and (C) the entire remaining principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest which remained at the original loan rate of 8.0% (including the Original Issue Discount, as defined in the Amendment) on August 22, 2024; (ii) the Agent agreed to withdraw the Notice of Default and not exercise its purported rights and remedies thereunder; (iii) the Lender may elect, at any time and from time to time, to convert any outstanding portion of the outstanding term loan into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.50 per share; (iv) removed the “Cash Minimum” covenant of which the Company had to maintain unrestricted, unencumbered Cash (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of at least $2,000,000; (v) removed the EBITDA (as defined in the Loan Agreement) covenant of which the Company had to maintain at least the applicable EBITDA Target (as defined in the Loan Agreement) for each calendar quarter; (vi) removed the revenue covenant in which the Company had to maintain consolidated quarterly net revenue of at least $75 million each calendar quarter and (vii) provided a lien to JGB in the Company’s claims for trademark infringement against Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. pursuant to the lawsuit currently pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey and captioned as Onyx Enterprises Int’l, Corp v. Volkswagen Group of America, Inc., and all proceeds and products thereof and United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts and captioned as Onyx Enterprises International Corp. v. ID Parts LLC, and all proceeds and products thereof (collectively, the “Volkswagen Trademark Claims”), provided that the Company can secure the Permitted Litigation Indebtedness (as defined in the Amendment) on the terms described in the Amendment.

In connection with the Amendment, the Company and the Agent entered into an Amended and Restated Intellectual Property and Security Agreement (the “A&R Security Agreement”) which amended and restated that certain Intellectual Property and Security Agreement, dated as of October 21, 2022. The A&R Security Agreement removed the exclusion of the Volkswagen Trademark Claims from the Agent’s security interest in the Company’s intellectual property.

The Amendment was accounted for as a debt extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470, which resulted in the Initial Term Loan Advance being derecognized and the convertible notes that were issued as a result of the Amendment being recorded at fair value with the difference resulting in a $879,045 loss on debt extinguishment for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

On March 6, 2023 (the “Initial Closing Date”), PARTS iD, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) whereby the Company agreed to issue and sell to certain investors (collectively, the “Investors”), in a private placement, (a) an aggregate principal amount of up to $10 million in junior secured convertible promissory notes (the “Convertible Notes”) and (i) an aggregate of up to two million warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share (the “Warrants”), in one or more closings pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. All the disinterested directors of the Company’s Board of Directors, as well as the disinterested directors of the Audit Committee, reviewed and approved the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Convertible Notes and Warrants. As of the Initial Closing Date, the Company issued and sold (a) an aggregate principal amount of $2,900,000 of Convertible Notes and (ii) an aggregate of 580,000 Warrants, of which $2,650,000 of Convertible Notes and 530,000 Warrants were purchased by entities affiliated with certain directors, officers, and beneficial owners of the Company. At the time of issuance the fair value of the Warrants was determined to be $158,000 using the Black-Scholes model. As of March 31, 2023, the fair value of the Warrants was determined to be $80,000, and accordingly, the decrease in their value was recorded as a change in fair value of warrants on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The Convertible Notes accrue interest at 7.75% per annum, compounded semi-annually and such interest may be paid at the option of the Company either in cash or common stock. Upon the Company’s sale and issuance of equity or equity-linked securities pursuant to which the Company receives aggregate gross proceeds of at least $3 million (a “Qualified Equity Financing”), the Convertible Notes are mandatorily convertible into shares of such equity securities sold in the Qualified Equity Financing. The Company may, at its option, redeem the Convertible Notes (including the outstanding principal and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) for cash, in full or in part, if the Convertible Notes have otherwise not been converted within 180 days of the date of issuance. In addition, upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Convertible Notes) of the Company, the Convertible Notes shall be repaid in full at or before the closing of such transaction in cash.

The Convertible Notes are strictly subordinated to the (a) senior secured indebtedness incurred or owed by the Company pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of October 21, 2022, by and among the Company, its subsidiary PARTS iD, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and JGB Collateral, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, in its capacity as collateral agent and the several financial institutions or entities that from time to time become parties thereto, as amended by that certain Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of February 22, 2023 (the “Loan Agreement”); and (ii) the Permitted Litigation Indebtedness (as defined in the Loan Agreement).

Subject to the subordination provisions described above and more fully described in the Convertible Notes, the Convertible Notes are secured by a junior security interest in all the Company’s rights, title, and interest in and to all the Company’s assets. The Convertible Notes mature on March 6, 2025.

The Warrants will expire after 5 years from the date of issuance and may not be exercised on a cashless basis. The Warrants provide that a holder of Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Warrants, if such holder, together with its affiliates, and any other party whose holdings would be aggregated with those of the holder for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Exchange Act would beneficially own in excess of 4.99%, of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided, however, that each holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation by giving notice to the Company, with any such increase not taking effect until the sixty-first day after such notice is delivered to the Company but not to any percentage in excess of 9.99%; provided that any holder of the Warrants that beneficially owns in excess of 19.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the issuance date of the Warrants shall not be subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes and the Warrants for working capital purposes and the repayment of current indebtedness.

The Convertible Notes and the Warrants were issued by the Company in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and have not been registered under the Securities Act.

Note 6 – Shareholders’ Deficit

Preferred Stock

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had authorized for issuance a total of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”). As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no shares of Preferred Stock were issued or were outstanding. The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company authorizes the Board to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional, special, and other rights at the time of issue of any Preferred Stock.

Common Stock

As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had 34,825,971 shares of Class A common stock outstanding. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had reserved 6,005,660 shares of Class A common stock for issuance as follows:

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

As of March 31, 2023, there were no material changes to the Company’s legal matters and other contingencies disclosed in Note 7 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in our Annual Report on 2022 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Note 8 – Stock-Based Compensation

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, selling, general and administrative expenses included $655,587 and $867,370 of stock-based compensation expense, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company capitalized $463,407 and $424,110, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense associated with awards issued to consultants who are directly associated with and who devote time to our internal-use software.

Equity Incentive Plan

In October 2020, in connection with the Business Combination, the Company’s stockholders approved the Parts iD, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 EIP”). The 2020 EIP became effective immediately upon the closing of the Business Combination. As of March 31, 2023, of the 4,904,596 shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the 2020 EIP in the aggregate, 3,212,078 shares remained available for issuance.

The 2020 EIP provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance shares, performance units (“PSUs”), stock appreciation rights, other stock-based awards, and cash awards (collectively “awards”). The awards may be granted to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company.

As of March 31, 2023, approximately $3.2 million of unamortized stock-based compensation expense was associated with outstanding RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 0.6 years.

As of March 31, 2023, the performance criteria included in the PSUs plan are unlikely to be achieved and accordingly the Company has no accrual of stock-based compensation expenses associated with the outstanding PSUs. The weighted average period of 0.77 years was remaining before the expiration of outstanding PSUs.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In October 2020, in connection with the Business Combination, the Company’s stockholders approved the Parts iD, Inc. 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2020 ESPP”). There are 2,043,582 shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2020 ESPP. The 2020 ESPP became effective immediately upon the closing of the Business Combination, but it has not yet been implemented. As of March 31, 2023, no shares had been issued under the 2020 ESPP.

Note 9 – Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences in financial statements and income tax carrying values using rates in effect for years such differences are to reverse.

The disclosures regarding deferred tax assets included in our 2022 Form 10-K continue to be accurate for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The Company does not currently anticipate any significant increase or decrease in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

None of the Company’s U.S. federal or state income tax returns are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or state authorities. However, fiscal years 2017 and later remain subject to examination by the IRS and respective states.
