Please also refer to the note about forward-looking information for information on such statements contained in this Quarterly Report immediately preceding Part I, Item 1. OverviewGreenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. was formed inApril 2013 as a technology company under the nameMassRoots, Inc. The Company recently closed its acquisition ofEmpire Services, Inc. ("Empire"), acquiring the entirety of its issued and outstanding equity. Our primary focus is expanding the number of metal recycling facilities Empire operates and utilizing technology to improve its operational efficiency. COVID-19 Pandemic InMarch 2020 , theWorld Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. It is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak of COVID-19 and its effects on our business including our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations at this time. Management is actively monitoring the global situation and its impact on the Company's financial condition, liquidity, operations, customers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects that the COVID-19 outbreak will have on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2021. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, the Company has experienced delays in securing new customers and related revenues and the longer this pandemic continues there may be additional impacts. Furthermore, the COVID-19 outbreak has and may continue to impact the Company's ability to raise capital. Although the Company cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak at this time, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of future operations, financial position, liquidity, and capital resources, and those of the third parties on which the Company relies in fiscal year 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used in operations for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020 was$390,269 and$717,062 , respectively. This$326,793 decrease was primarily caused by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued payroll and related expenses, and deferred revenue. Net cash used in operations for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 was primarily based on the loss for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 , partially offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued payroll. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020 was$389,866 and$716,592 respectively. During the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , these funds were derived mainly from proceeds related to the issuance of preferred shares and non-convertible notes. During the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 , net cash provided by financing activities was derived from the issuance of convertible notes, offset by repayment of non-convertible notes. 34 Capital Resources As ofSeptember 30, 2021 , the Company had cash of$1,082 and working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of$17,539,723 . During the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , the net loss available to common stockholders was$23,934,774 and net cash used in operating activities was$390,269 . These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Our primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from the public and private placements of our securities, including debt securities, and proceeds from the exercise of warrants and options. We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expect these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future. For the foreseeable future, our ability to continue our operations is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional capital through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or other sources; however, financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategy and we may be forced to curtail or cease operations. Management's plans regarding these matters encompass the following actions: 1) obtain funding from new and current investors to alleviate our working capital deficiency; and 2) implement a plan to generate revenues. Our continued existence is dependent upon our ability to translate our audience into revenues. However, the outcome of our plans cannot be determined with any degree of certainty. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States of America , which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for one year from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty such as the final settlement amounts of our notes payable and accrued interest.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of
Contractual Obligations Our contractual obligations are included in our notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A. To the extent that funds generated from our operations, together with our existing capital resources, are insufficient to meet future requirements, we will be required to obtain additional funds through equity or debt financings. No assurance can be given that any additional financing will be made available to us or will be available on acceptable terms should such a
need arise.
