The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
are based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
preparation of these financial statements requires us 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 the financial
statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting
periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and judgments, including
those described in greater detail below. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions.
As used in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operation," except where the context otherwise requires, the term
"we," "us," "our," or "the Company," refers to the business of TraQiQ, Inc.

Overview
The Company currently markets an aerobic digestion technology solution for the
disposal of food waste at the point of generation. Its line of Revolution Series
Digesters has been described as self-contained, robotic digestive systems that
we believe are as easy to install as a standard dishwasher with no special
electrical or plumbing requirements. Units range in size depending upon
capacity, with the smallest unit approximately the size of a residential washing
machine. The digesters utilize a biological process to convert food waste into a
liquid that we believe is safe to discharge down an ordinary drain. This process
can result in a substantial reduction in costs for customers including cruise
lines, restaurants, retail stores, hospitals, hotel/hospitality companies and
governmental units by eliminating the transportation and logistics costs
associated with food waste disposal. The Company also expects the process reduce
the greenhouse gases associated with food-waste transportation and decomposition
in landfills that have been linked to climate change. The Company offers its
Revolution Series Digesters in several sizes targeting small- to mid-sized food
waste generation sites that are often more economical than traditional disposal
methods. The Revolution Series Digesters are manufactured and assembled in the
United States.
In an effort to expand the capabilities of its digesters, the Company developed
a sophisticated Internet of Things ("IoT") technology platform to provide its
customers with transparency into their internal and supply chain waste
generation and operational practices. This patented process collects weight
related data from the digesters to deliver real-time data that provides valuable
information that when analyzed, can improve efficiency, and validate corporate
sustainability efforts. The Company provides its IoT platform through a SaaS
("Software as a Service") model that is either bundled in its rental agreements
or sold through a separate annual software license. The Company continues to add
new capacity sizes to its line of Revolution Series Digesters to meet customer
needs.
The Company was incorporated in the State of California on September 9, 2009 as
Thunderclap Entertainment, Inc. On July 14, 2017, Thunderclap Entertainment,
Inc. changed its name to TraQiQ, Inc.
On March 18, 2022, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, approved a
reverse 1-for-8 stock split of the Company's common stock (the "Reverse Split").

loans with Paypal/Loanbuilder in an aggregate principal amount of $155,053 plus
any accumulated interest and fees.
On January 5, 2023, the Company, consummated the transactions contemplated by
the Purchase Agreement among TraQiQ Environmental, Inc. ("REI") and BioHiTech
America, LLC ("BHT" and, together with REI, the "Renovare Sellers") and the
Company, pursuant to which the Renovare Sellers sold and assigned to the
Company, and the Company purchased and assumed from the Renovare Sellers, (a)
certain assets related to the business of (i) offering aerobic digestion
technology solutions for the disposal of food waste at the point of generation
and (ii) data analytics with respect to food waste (collectively, the "Digester
Business") and (b) certain specified liabilities of the Renovare Sellers,
including, but not limited to, indebtedness in an amount equal to $3,017,090
(the "Michaelson Debt") owed to Michaelson Capital Special Finance Fund II, L.P.
("Michaelson").
In exchange for the assets of the Digester Business, the Company (a) paid the
Renovare Sellers an amount equal to $150,000 and (b) issued to REI (i) 1,250,000
shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 (the "Series
B Preferred Stock"), and (ii) 15,686,926 shares of the Company's common stock,
par value $0.0001 (the "Common Stock"), a portion of which is being held in
escrow. The Purchase Agreement contained standard representations and warranties
by the Company and the Renovare Sellers which, except for fundamental
representations, remain in effect for twelve months following the closing date.
1,568,693 shares of the Common Stock portion of the closing consideration were
placed into escrow, the release of which is contingent upon a mutual agreement
of the parties or January 4, 2024 or if a claim is pending, a final
non-appealable order of any court of competent jurisdiction. Additional
agreements ancillary to the asset acquisition were also executed, including but
not limited to a bill of sale, assignment and assumption agreement, an escrow
agreement and a domain name assignment agreement. The Renovare Sellers also
agreed that, for a period of five years from closing date, the Sellers would not
engage in a business that competes with the Digester Business.
Going Concern
The Company has an accumulated deficit of $17,522,786 and a working capital
deficit of $1,616,199 as of December 31, 2022, compared to an accumulated
deficit of $8,953,768 and a working capital deficit of $9,844,269 as of December
31, 2021. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its
ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its
obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and/or obtain
additional financing from its stockholders and/or other third parties.
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and
continue its operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of the
Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to
obtain necessary equity or debt financing to continue operations, successfully
locating and negotiating with other business entities for potential acquisition
and /or acquiring new clients to generate revenues. The consolidated financial
statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from
the outcome of the uncertainties. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the
Company converted $5.0 million of debt into shares of common and Series B
Preferred Stock. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2023, the Company
completed an acquisition of Renovare. Overall, management is focused on
effectively positioning the Company for a positive increase in cash flows. The
Company will continue to closely monitor the cash flows of the Company.
In order to further implement its business plan and satisfy its working capital
requirements, the Company will need to raise additional capital. There is no
guarantee that the Company will be able to raise additional equity or debt
financing at acceptable terms, if at all.
There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. These
consolidated financial statements do not include 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 should the
Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our
consolidated financial statements. Those material accounting estimates that we
believe are the most critical to an investor's understanding of our financial
results and condition are discussed immediately below and are particularly
important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations
and require the application of significant judgment by our management to
determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain
estimates.
15
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TraQiQ, Inc. and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company applies the guidance of Topic 810 Consolidation of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") to
determine whether and how to consolidate another entity. Pursuant to ASC
paragraph 810-10-15-10, all majority-owned subsidiaries-all entities in which a
parent has a controlling financial interest-are consolidated except when control
does not rest with the parent.
Pursuant to ASC paragraph 810-10-15-8, the usual condition for a controlling
financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore,
as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, of
more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares of another entity is a
condition pointing toward consolidation. The power to control may also exist
with a lesser percentage of ownership, for example, by contract, lease,
agreement with other stockholders, or by court decree.
In accordance with ASC 810-10-45, the Company has deconsolidated the
subsidiaries of MTP, Rohuma and TSP as a result of the nonreciprocal transfer
(spinoff). The Company has recognized the loss on the spinoff in net loss on the
consolidated statements of operations
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 revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates include, but are not
limited to, management's estimate of provisions required for non-collectible
accounts receivable, depreciative lives of our assets, determination of
technological feasibility, and valuation allowances of our deferred tax assets.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Capitalized Software Costs
In accordance with the relevant FASB accounting guidance regarding the
development of software to be sold, leased, or marketed, the Company expenses
such costs as they are incurred until technological feasibility has been
established, at and after which time these costs are capitalized until the
product is available for general release to customers. Once the technological
feasibility is established per ASC 985-20, the Company capitalizes costs
associated with the acquisition or development of major software for internal
and external use in the balance sheet. Costs incurred to enhance the Company's
software products, after general market release of the services using the
products, is expensed in the period they are incurred. The Company only
capitalizes subsequent additions, modifications or upgrades to internally
developed software to the extent that such changes allow the software to perform
a task it previously did not perform. The Company expenses software maintenance
and training costs as incurred. As of December 31, 2022, there were no
capitalized software costs.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers (Topic 606), specifically ASC 606-10-50-12. This standard provides a
single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all
industries and requires additional disclosures. The updated guidance introduces
a five-step model to achieve its core principal of the entity recognizing
revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount
that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in
exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted the updated guidance
effective January 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method, however the new
standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position
and consolidated results of operations, as it did not change the manner or
timing of recognizing revenue.
16
Professional Service Revenue
TRAQ Pvt Ltd. generally derived a large part of its revenues from professional
and support services, which included revenue generated from software development
projects and associated fees for consulting, implementation, training, and
project management provided to customers using their systems. Revenue from
arrangements with customers was recognized based on the Company's satisfaction
of distinct performance obligations identified in each agreement, generally at a
point in time as discussed in ASC 606. In instances where multiple performance
obligations were identified, the Company allocated the transaction price to each
performance obligation based on relative selling prices of each distinct product
or service, and recognizes revenue related to each performance obligation at the
points in time that each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company's
performance obligation included providing customization of software and the
selling of licenses, where the Company typically satisfied its performance
obligations prior to the submission of invoices to the customer for such
services. The Company's performance obligation for consulting and technical
support was delivered on as the work was being performed, which was satisfied
prior to invoicing. The Company generally collected payment within 30 to 60 days
of completion of the performance obligation and there were no agency
relationships.
Software development arrangements involving significant customization,
modification or production were accounted for in accordance with the appropriate
technical accounting guidance issued by the FASB using the percentage-of-
completion method. The Company recognized revenue using periodic reported actual
hours worked as a percentage of total expected hours required to complete the
project arrangement and applied the percentage to the total arrangement fee.
Unbilled revenue represented earnings in excess of billings as at the end of the
reporting period. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to
governmental authorities were accounted for on a net basis and therefore were
excluded from revenues in the statements of operations.
TRAQ Pvt Ltd. has deferred the revenue and costs attributable to certain process
transition activities with respect to its customers where such activities do not
represent the culmination of a separate earnings process. Such revenue and costs
were subsequently recognized ratably over the period in which the related
services were performed. Further, the deferred costs were limited to the amount
of the deferred revenues. As of December 31, 2022, there was no deferred
revenue.
Software Solution Revenue
Revenue from arrangements with customers was recognized based on the Company's
satisfaction of distinct performance obligations identified in each agreement,
generally at a point in time as discussed in ASC 606. In instances where
multiple performance obligations are identified, the Company allocated the
transaction price to each performance obligation based on relative selling
prices of each distinct product or service, and recognized revenue related to
each performance obligation at the points in time that each performance
obligation was satisfied. The Company's performance obligation included
providing connectivity to software, generally through a monthly subscription,
where the Company typically satisfied its performance obligations prior to the
submission of invoices to the customer for such services. The Company's
performance obligation for hardware components that were purchased by the
customer in connection with the solution was delivery of the purchased device,
which was satisfied prior to invoicing. The Company provided a twelve-month
warranty on their hardware. All units deployed by the Company were past the
twelve-month period, thus the Company did not accrue for a warranty liability.
The Company generally collected payment within 30 to 60 days of completion of
the performance obligation and there were no agency relationships.
Revenue From Sales of Goods
Revenue from arrangements with customers was recognized based on the Company's
satisfaction of distinct performance obligations identified in each agreement,
generally at a point in time as discussed in ASC 606. The performance
obligations were satisfied upon shipment of the merchandise being sold.
17
Costs of Services Provided
Costs of services provided consisted of data processing costs, customer support
costs including personnel costs to maintain the Company's proprietary databases,
costs to provide customer call center support, hardware and software expense
associated with transaction processing systems and exchanges, telecommunication
and computer network expense, and occupancy costs associated with facilities
where these functions are performed. Depreciation expense was not included in
costs of services provided.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The Company accounts for foreign currency transactions in accordance with ASC
830, "Foreign Currency Matters" ("ASC 830"), specifically the guidance in
subsection ASC 830-20, "Foreign Currency Transactions". The U.S. dollar is the
functional and reporting currency for the Company and its subsidiaries other
than the Indian subsidiaries whose functional currency is the Indian Rupee.
Pursuant to ASC 830, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the
balance sheet date, with the resulting gains or losses upon settlement reported
in foreign exchange gain (loss) in the computation of net income (loss). Gains
or losses resulting from translation adjustments are reported under accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss).
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company follows ASC 740-10, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes".
This requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions
using a "more-likely-than-not" approach. Management evaluates the Company's tax
positions on an annual basis.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction and
various state and foreign tax jurisdictions. The federal and state income tax
returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing
authorities, generally for three years after they were filed. Foreign income tax
returns are subject to examination by foreign taxing authorities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 825, "Financial Instruments," requires the Company to disclose estimated
fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and
assumptions are set forth below for the Company's financial instruments: The
carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets,
accounts payable and accrued expenses, stockholder advances, and short-term
financing approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those
instruments. The Company does not utilize derivative instruments.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) include
additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as convertible notes,
preferred stock, stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and
warrants. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of
diluted earnings per share when the Company reports a loss because to do so
would be anti-dilutive for periods presented. An uncertain number of shares
underlying convertible debt have been excluded from the computation of loss per
share because their impact was anti-dilutive.
Related Party Transactions
Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties directly or
indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or
are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include
principal stockholders of the Company, its management, members of the immediate
families of principal stockholders of the Company and its management and other
parties with which the Company may deal where one-party controls or can
significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an
extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully
pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all related party
transactions. All transactions shall be recorded at fair value of the goods or
services exchanged. Property purchased from a related party is recorded at the
cost to the related party and any payment to or on behalf of the related party
in excess of the cost is reflected as compensation or distribution to related
parties depending on the transaction.
18
Lease Obligations
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating
leases are included in operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, current
portion of operating lease liabilities and operating lease liabilities, less
current portion in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the
lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make
lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and
liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of
lease payments over the lease term. For leases in which the rate implicit in the
lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing
rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the
present value of lease payments. Lease terms include options to extend or
terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise
that option. Lease expense for operating lease arrangements is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with
lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately. There is no
lease obligation as of December 31, 2022.

Company's change in the fair value of the derivative liability and derivative
expense decreased by $221,797, from $1,077,387 in 2021 to $855,590 in 2022 due
to the convertible promissory notes and related warrants being classified as
derivative liabilities and the changes in the share price over the year ended

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working Capital
As of December 31, 2022, current assets were $66,460 and current liabilities
outstanding were $1,682,659, which resulted in a working capital deficit of
$1,616,199. As of December 31, 2021, current assets were $980,747 and current
liabilities outstanding were $10,825,016, which resulted in a working capital
deficit of $9,844,269.
We believe that our available cash balance as of the date of this filing will
not be sufficient to fund our anticipated level of operations for at least the
next 12 months. Management believes that our ability to continue our operations
depends on our ability to sustain and grow revenue and results of operations as
well as our ability to access capital markets when necessary to accomplish our
strategic objectives. Management believes that we will continue to incur losses
for the immediate future. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we incurred
negative cash flow from operations. We expect to finance our cash needs from the
results of operations and, depending on results of operations, we may need
additional equity or debt financing until we can achieve profitability and
positive cash flows from operating activities, if ever.
On or prior to March 31, 2024, we have obligations relating to the payment of
indebtedness on term loans and notes payable of $3,652,890 and $1,350,037,
respectively. We anticipate meeting our cash obligations on our indebtedness
that is payable on or prior to March 31, 2024 from the results of operations
and, depending on results of operations, we will likely need additional equity
or debt financing.
Our future capital requirements for our operations will depend on many factors,
including the profitability of our businesses, the number of and cash
requirements of other acquisition candidates that we pursue, and the costs of
our operations. Our management has taken several actions to ensure that we will
have sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations through March 31, 2024,
including the sale of certain of our businesses. We also are evaluating other
measures to further improve our liquidity, including, the sale of equity or debt
securities and entering into joint ventures with third parties. Lastly, we may
elect to reduce certain related-party and third-party debt by converting such
debt into preferred or common shares. Our management believes that these actions
will enable us to meet our liquidity requirements through March 31, 2024. There
is no assurance that we will be successful in any capital-raising efforts that
we may undertake to fund operations during 2023.
We plan to generate positive cash flow from our operation; however, to execute
our business plan, service our existing indebtedness and implement our business
strategy, we will need to obtain additional financing from time to time and may
choose to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt
financings, a bank line of credit, borrowings from affiliates or other
arrangements. We cannot be sure that any additional funding, if needed, will be
available on terms favorable to us or at all. Furthermore, any additional
capital raised through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities may dilute
our current stockholders' ownership in us and could also result in a decrease in
the market price of our common stock. The terms of any securities issued by us
in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors and may
include the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have
a further dilutive effect. We also may be required to recognize non-cash
expenses in connection with certain securities we issue, such as convertible
notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition.
Furthermore, any debt financing, if available, may subject us to restrictive
covenants and significant interest costs. There can be no assurance that we will
be able to raise additional capital, when needed, to continue operations in
their current form.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,464,960 for the year ended December
31, 2022 compared to $3,163,103 in 2021. Cash used in operating activities for
2022 and 2021 was primarily related to the loss in operations offset by a loss
on the disposal of subsidiaries, increases and decreases in accounts payable and
accrued expenses and the changes in accounts receivable due to the lack of
adequate cash flow of the Company as well as non-cash charges related to
stock-based compensation, the change in the fair value of the derivative
liabilities, gains and losses on extinguishment and settlement of debt and the
amortization of discounts related to our debt instruments.
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities was $(33,257) for the year
ended December 31, 2022 compared to $20,941 in the year ended December 31, 2021.
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities for 2022 and 2021, related to
fixed asset additions in 2022 compared to cash paid for acquisitions of $21,825
and cash received in acquisitions of companies of $48,789 as well as
acquisitions of fixed assets of $6,023 in 2021.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022
consisted of proceeds from the issuance of notes of $1,667,975. The Company
