Description of Business

 

NextPlat Corp,Overview

Leveraging the e-commerce experience of the Company’s management team and the Company’s existing e-commerce platforms, the Company has embarked upon the rollout of a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), was formerly Orbsat Corp (“NextPlat”). Thestate-of-the-art e-commerce platform to collaborate with businesses to optimize their ability to sell their goods online, domestically, and internationally, and enabling customers and partners to optimize their e-commerce presence and revenue, which we expect will become the focus of the Company’s business in the future. Historically, the business of NextPlat has been, and is currently, the provision of a comprehensive array of Satellite Industry communication services, and related equipment sales. As detailed in Online Storefronts and E-Commerce Platforms below, the Company operates two main e-commerce websites as well as 25 third-party e-commerce storefronts such as Alibaba, Amazon and Walmart. These e-commerce venues form an effective global network serving thousands of consumers, enterprises, and governments. NextPlat has announced its intention to broaden its e-commerce platform and is implementing a comprehensive systems upgrade to support this initiative. The Company has also begun the design and development of a next generation platform for digital assets built for Web3 (an internet service built using decentralized blockchains). This new platform (“NextPlat Digital”) is currently in the design and development phase and will enable the use of a range of digital assets, such as non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”), in e-commerce and in community-building activities.

Online Storefronts and E-Commerce Platforms

We operate two e-commerce websites offering a range of MSS products and solutions through our subsidiaries, Orbital Satcom, which targets customers in North and South America, and GTC which targets customers in the UK, EU, Middle East, Asia and rest of the world. These websites produce sales and attract enquiries from customers and potential customers from all around the world. Over the long term, we plan to develop additional country-specific websites to target customers in South America, Asia and Europe where we anticipate there will be substantial further demand for our products.

In addition to our two main e-commerce websites, we make portable satellite voice, data and tracking solutions easier to find and buy online through our various third-party e-commerce storefronts such as Alibaba, Amazon and Walmart. We currently operate 25 storefronts across various countries in 5 continents. We have invested in personnel to translate our listings correctly in the different countries we are represented in and intend to regularly improve and increase our listings on all e-commerce sites. We currently have more than 9,000 product listings on all third-party sites and invest significantly in inventory to hold at Amazon’s various fulfillment centers around the world to ensure that orders are shipped to customers as quickly as possible. The products include handheld satellite phones, personal and asset tracking devices, portable high-speed broadband terminals, and satellite Wi-Fi hotspots. Our Amazon Marketplaces represented approximately 49.5% and 64.6% of the Company’s revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, Amazon online marketplaces represented approximately 63.6% and 73.3% of total sales, respectively. We anticipate that these marketplaces will continue to represent a significant portion of our sales for the foreseeable future. Our e-commerce storefronts enable us to attract a significantly diversified level of sales from all over the world, ensuring we are not overly reliant on any single market or sector for our sales revenue. Furthermore, many products we sell require subscription-based services which allow us to increase our recurring revenue airtime sales.

With consumer behavior drastically changing because of COVID-19, e-commerce traffic witnessed double-digit gains in 2021 and 2020, respectively, as stores closed and shoppers used digital options. This significant change in consumer shopping habits resulted in a substantial increase of U.S., EU and U.K. consumers electing to shop online. During 2021, senior management of the Company determined to invest in a comprehensive systems upgrade project which commenced in September with the goal of building a state-of-the-art e-commerce platform. This implementation is anticipated to be substantially complete within the next six to nine months, and the Company intends to collaborate with businesses to optimize their ability to sell their goods online, domestically, and internationally, and enabling customers and partners to optimize their e-commerce presence and revenue.

NextPlat Digital

We intend to develop a next generation platform for digital assets built for Web3, an internet service built using decentralized blockchains. Our new platform (“NextPlat Digital”), which is currently in the design and development phase in collaboration with consultants and contracted developers, will initially enable the use of non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”), in e-commerce and in community-building activities. NextPlat Digital may in the future also enable the posting and use of other digital or “crypto” assets once applicable legal and regulatory requirements are addressed. As currently contemplated, NextPlat Digital will facilitate the creation/minting, purchase and sale of a broad range of non-yield-generating and non-fractionalized NFT products, including, but not limited to, art, music, collectables, digital real estate, video games, game items and certificates of authenticity. We also anticipate developing and deploying NFTs for use in tokenizing data for use in brand loyalty programs.

NextPlat Digital, as currently planned, will be used by us to create both (a) public marketplaces, for us and third-parties, where anyone with a crypto wallet or credit card can buy an NFT from an authorized user, or, if authorized, sell their own NFTs, and (b) private market places that only allow a particular company or entity to sell their own NFTs within a branded market (such as for the promotion of a particular brand or product). We anticipate that NextPlat Digital will be substantially complete within the next six to nine months.

8

The legal status of NFTs under a myriad of state and federal laws and regulatory regimes (including securities, banking, and commodities laws) is highly uncertain and unresolved, and the applicability of various of those regimes to any NFTs that we may propose to post on our platform is also unresolved. Our creation and operation of NextPlat Digital will present a number of new regulatory and legal compliance obligations for the Company. As an initial matter we will need to make a determination whether a particular NFT could reasonably be considered a security for federal and state law purposes, and if so we would be required to comply with the applicable securities registration requirements or obtain comfort that our activities would fall within applicable exemptions from registration. To the extent that we determine that a particular NFT could be deemed a “security” within the meaning of the U.S. federal and/or securities laws, we intend to obtain contractual comfort from licensed broker-dealer authorized to act as a trading system for those digital assets that such broker-dealer will comply with the applicable “Know Your Customer” (“KYC”) rules and custom and practice, as well as with the applicable Anti-Money Laundering laws and regulations (“AML”) and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (“CFT”), administered and enforced by the U.S. Treasury Financial Crimes and Enforcement Network discussed below, among others. We may have legal exposure for any alleged failures on the part of such licensed broker-dealer to fulfil its obligations under its contracts with us.

With respect to the securities status of an NFT that we propose to post to our platform, we will follow an internally developed model that will permit us to make a risk-based assessment regarding the likelihood that a particular NFT could be deemed a “security” within the meaning of the U.S. federal and/or state securities laws in determining if and how an NFT can be posted on our platform. This process will involve employees trained to identify the indicia of a “security” who will also work with outside legal counsel experienced in crypto asset regulatory matters to make a determination with respect to each NFT, or category of NFT, proposed to be posted on our platform. These processes and procedures are risk-based assessments and are not a legal standard or binding on regulators or courts. In the event an NFT or other digital asset is deemed by us, pursuant to the above analysis, to possess a reasonable likelihood of being deemed a security, we will (a) comply with applicable laws and regulations by forming, acquiring or engaging a licensed broker-dealer authorized to act as an trading system for those digital assets, or (b) transact in such digital assets offshore in a way that complies with applicable laws and regulations; or (c) not transact in the subject NFT. We expect our risk assessment policies will continuously evolve to take into account developments in case law, applicable facts, developments in technology, and changes in applicable regulatory schemes.

We do not currently intend to undertake or participate in “initial coin offerings”, the minting of “coins” or the mining of cryptocurrencies.

Irrespective of a particular NFT’s status as a security, we will need to assess whether we needed to comply with other applicable regulations and laws (including but not limited to AML and CFT regulations). If we are deemed to be involved in the exchange or transmission of value that substitutes for currency, or fall under other evolving requirements, we may be deemed to be a “money transmitter” and will be subject to AML and CFT regulations. Depending on the particular attributes of an NFT, the manner in which it is marketed, and the nature of the clientele, we could be subject to other legal and regulatory regimes as well. We will endeavor to comply with all applicable laws in connection with our NextPlat Digital business, but the uncertain application of those laws to our proposed business may create substantial risk to the Company.

When onboarding new users, we intend to utilize third-party tools to proactively screen for high-risk crypto wallets, including explicitly sanctioned addresses and addresses associated with sanctioned entities. Crypto wallets protect the identity of the owner of the wallet, store the owner’s private keys, secure and provide access by the owner to the cryptocurrency owned by it and allow the owner to send, receive, and transact business with cryptocurrencies. Such wallets by their nature obfuscate the identity of the owner of the wallet and limit access to the transaction history of that wallet and its owner. Consequently, crypto wallets and cryptocurrencies may be used by persons seeking to avoid legal oversight and to violate the law. For example, they can be used to launder money and to promote terrorism. The applicable legal requirements and our compliance obligations will vary depending on the nature of the client, the service or product provided and jurisdiction. For example, if we engage, form or acquire a broker dealer in order to post, trade or sell NFTs or other digital assets that are securities, we will attempt to fully comply with all applicable KYC, AML and CFT compliance requirements. If, on the other hand, we facilitate the distribution of free promotional corporate collectable NFTs that are not deemed to be securities, our compliance requirements will be significantly less. In either event there can be no assurance that our efforts to fully comply with applicable law will be successful.

In determining to engage in transactions in an NFT, we will attempt to comply with all applicable laws. However, given the substantial legal uncertainties that may presented by those laws and given the informational constraints presented by crypto wallets we may not be successful in our efforts. As a consequence, we may be exposed to regulatory enforcement and civil or criminal sanction should a legal authority determine that our approach is inadequate or inappropriate, as well as to claims asserting civil liability. Moreover, governmental agencies may seek to apply laws to our NextPlat Digital business that we believe are inapplicable and may seek sanctions relating to our alleged failure to comply with those laws.

Communications Services

Through our Global Telesat Communications Ltd and Orbital Satcom Corp business units, we provide Mobile Satellite Services (“MSS”) solutions to fulfill the growing global demand for satellite-enabled voice, data, personnel and asset tracking, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity services. We provide these solutions for businesses, governments, military, humanitarian organizations, and individual users, enabling them to communicate, connect to the internet, track and monitor remote assets and lone workers, or request SOS assistance via satellite from almost anywhere in the world, even in the most remote and hostile of environments.

We provide voice, data communications, IoT and M2M services via Geostationary and Low Earth Orbit (“LEO”) satellite constellations and offer reliable connectivity in areas where terrestrial wireless or wireline networks do not exist or are limited, including remote land areas, open ocean, airways, the polar regions and regions where terrestrial networks are not operational, for example due to political conflicts and natural or man-made disasters.

We have expertise and long-term experience in providing tracking and monitoring services via satellite, specifically through the Globalstar Low Earth Orbit satellite network. We own unique network infrastructure devices, known as appliqués, which are located in various Globalstar ground stations around the world and provide the signal receipt and processing technology that enables and powers the Globalstar simplex data service. Our ownership of these appliqués provides us with competitive access to the global simplex data service which addresses the market demand for a small and cost-effective solution for sending data, such as geographic coordinates, from assets or individuals in remote locations to a central monitoring station and is used in numerous applications such as tracking vehicles, asset shipments, livestock, and monitoring unattended remote assets. In addition, we also provide tracking and monitoring solutions using Automatic Identification System (AIS), 2G-5G, Push-to-Talk and two-way radio technology.

We generate revenue from both the provision of services and the sale of equipment. Higher margin recurring service revenue from the sale of monthly, annual, and prepaid airtime or messaging plans has historically represented an increasing proportion of our revenue, and we expect that trend to continue as we introduce new products requiring associated airtime or messaging plans.

We provide our products and services directly to end users and reseller networks located both in the United States and internationally through our subsidiaries, U.S. based Orbital Satcom Corp (“Orbital Satcom”) and U.K. based Global Telesat Communications Limited (“GTC”). We have a physical presence in the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as an ecommerce storefront presence in 16 countries across 5 continents. We have a diverse geographical customer base having provided solutions to more than 50,000 customers located in more than 165 countries across most every continent in the world.

MSS Products

Our MSS products rely on satellite networks for voice, data and tracking connectivity and thus are not reliant on cell towers or other local infrastructure. As a result, our MSS solutions are suitable for recreational travelers and adventurers, government and military users, and corporations and individuals wishing to communicate or connect to the internet from remote locations, or in the event of an emergency such as a power outage, following a hurricane or other natural disaster during which regular cell phone, telephone and internet service may not be available.

Our satellite communications products enable users to make voice calls, send and receive text messages and emails, and transmit GPS location coordinates from virtually anywhere on the planet, no matter how remote the location and regardless of the availability of local communication infrastructure. Our range of satellite data products allow users around the world to connect to the internet, stream live video, and communicate via voice and data applications.

10

We are a provider of GPS enabled emergency locator distress beacons that can save lives, on land and at sea. Our distress beacons enable essential communication between our customers and search and rescue organizations during emergency situations and pinpoint locational information to Search and Rescue services, essential during an emergency.

We provide a wide range of satellite tracking devices used to monitor the location, movements, and history of almost anything that moves. We specialize in offering satellite tracking services through the Globalstar satellite network and have supplied tens of thousands of tracking devices which are used around the world to locate lone workers, track shipping containers, livestock, vehicles, and vessels along with many other types of assets.

The first product launched by the Company, SolarTrack, is a compact, lightweight, IoT tracking device powered by the sun and operating on one of the most modern satellite networks in the world. It is designed for tracking and monitoring anything that moves, or any remote asset used outdoors, almost anywhere in the world and we anticipate strong demand from customers looking for a low cost, low maintenance tracking device to monitor remote assets.

Mapping and Tracking Portal

Our advanced subscription-based mapping and tracking portal, GTCTrack, is available for use by registered customers who pay a monthly fee to access it. This mapping portal provides a universal and hardware-agnostic, cloud-based data visualization and management platform that allows managers to track, command, and control assets in near-real-time. Asset location reports including position, speed, altitude, heading and past location and movement history reports for a wide range of tracking devices and other products sold by us are available through GTCTrack.

Organizational History

 

The Company was originally incorporated in 1997 in Florida. On April 21, 2010, the Company merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary for the purpose of changing its state of incorporation to Delaware, effecting a 2:1 forward split of its common stock, and changing its name to EClips Media Technologies, Inc.

On March 28, 2014, we merged with a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of ours solely for the purpose of changing our state of incorporation to Nevada from Delaware, effecting a 1:150 reverse split of our common stock, and changing our name to Great West Resources, Inc. in connection with the plans to enter into the business of potash mining and exploration. During late 2014, we abandoned our efforts to enter the potash business.

 

A wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary, Orbital Satcom Corp. (“Orbital Satcom”), a Nevada corporation was formed on November 14, 2014.

 

On January 22, 2015, we changed our name to “Orbital Tracking Corp” from “Great West Resources, Inc.” pursuant to a merger with a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary.

 

Effective March 8, 2018, following the approval of a majority of our shareholders, we effected a reverse split of our common stock at a ratio of 1 for 150. On August 19, 2019, we effected a reverse split of our common stock at a ratio of 1 for 15. As a result of the reverse split, our common stock now has the CUSIP number: 68557F100. All share and per share, information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes has been retroactively restated to reflect these reverse splits.

 

Also, on August 19, 2019, we changed our name to “Orbsat Corp” from “Orbital Tracking Corp.” pursuant to a merger with a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary.

11

 

On March 24, 2021, the Company’s shareholders via majority shareholder consent authorized a stock split not to exceed 1 for 5 reverse stock split. A definitive Information Statement relating to the shareholder consent was filed with the SEC on March 13, 2021. The Company’s Board of Directors subsequently approved a 1-for-5 reverse stock split. The Company has filed a Certificate of Change to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock, at a ratio of 1-for-5. The effective time of the reverse stock split was 12:01 a.m. ET on May 28, 2021. The Company’s common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis commencing upon market open on May 28, 2021.

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statements of financial condition, and revenues and expenses for the years then ended. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, the assumptions used to calculate stock-based compensation, derivative liabilities and common stock issued for services.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with a high credit quality financial institution. The Company’s account at this institution is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. All cash amounts in excess of $250,000, $21,657,93519,920,186, are unsecured. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits.

 

Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

 

The Company has a policy of reserving for questionable accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are offset against sales and relieved from accounts receivable, after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of March 31,June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, there were no allowances for doubtful accounts.

Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in first-out cost method. The Company assesses the valuation of its inventories and reduces the carrying value of those inventories that are obsolete or in excess of the Company’s forecasted usage to their estimated net realizable value. The Company estimates the net realizable value of such inventories based on analysis and assumptions including, but not limited to, historical usage, expected future demand and market requirements. A change to the carrying value of inventories is recorded to cost of goods sold.

 

Prepaid expenses

 

Prepaid expenses amounted to $172,950106,947 and $146,935, at March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Prepaid expenses include prepayments in cash for rent, insurance pre-payments associated with the Company’s new office and software license fees which are being amortized over the terms of the respective agreement. The current portion consists of costs paid for future services which will occur within a year.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s reporting currency is U.S. Dollars. The accounts of one of the Company’s subsidiaries, GTCL, is maintained using the appropriate local currency, Great British Pound, as the functional currency. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars at balance sheet date, shareholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rate for the year or the reporting period. The translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, captioned as accumulated other comprehensive (loss) gain. Transaction gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statements of operations.

 

The relevant translation rates are as follows: for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, closing rate at 1.31381.2165 US$: GBP, quarterly average rate at 1.34191731.256640 US$: GBP and yearly average rate at 1.29979 US$: GBP, for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, closing rate at 1.37831.382800 US$: GBP, quarterly average rate at 1.3790681.397146 US$: GBP and yearly average rate at 1.388107 US$: GBP, for the year ended 2021 closing rate at 1.353372 US$: GBP, yearly average rate at 1.375083 US$: GBP.

 

Revenue Recognition and Unearned Revenue

 

The Company recognizes revenue from satellite services when earned, as services are rendered or delivered to customers. Equipment sales revenue is recognized when the equipment is delivered to and accepted by the customer. Only equipment sales are subject to warranty. Historically, the Company has not incurred significant expenses for warranties. Equipment sales which have been prepaid, before the goods are shipped are recorded as contract liabilities and once shipped is recognized as revenue. The Company also records as contract liabilities, certain annual plans for airtime, which are paid in advance. Once airtime services are incurred, they are recognized as revenue. Unbilled revenue is recognized for airtime plans whereby the customer is invoiced for its data usage the following month after services are incurred.

 

The Company’s customers generally purchase a combination of our products and services as part of a multiple element arrangement. The Company’s assessment of which revenue recognition guidance is appropriate to account for each element in an arrangement can involve significant judgment. This assessment has a significant impact on the amount and timing of revenue recognition.

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

The Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. The five-step model is applied to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services transferred to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract and determine those that are performance obligations and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct. We then recognize revenue in the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

In accordance with ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedient, which is to (1) clarify the objective of the collectability criterion for applying paragraph 606-10-25-7; (2) permit an entity to exclude amounts collected from customers for all sales (and other similar) taxes from the transaction price; (3) specify that the measurement date for noncash consideration is contract inception; (4) provide a practical expedient that permits an entity to reflect the aggregate effect of all modifications that occur before the beginning of the earliest period presented when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations; (5) clarify that a completed contract for purposes of transition is a contract for which all (or substantially all) of the revenue was recognized under legacy GAAP before the date of initial application, and (6) clarify that an entity that retrospectively applies the guidance in Topic 606 to each prior reporting period is not required to disclose the effect of the accounting change for the period of adoption. The amendments of this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. There was no impact as a result of adopting this ASU on the financial statements and related disclosures. Based on the terms and conditions of the product arrangements, the Company believes that its products and services can be accounted for separately as its products and services have value to the Company’s customers on a stand-alone basis. When a transaction involves more than one product or service, revenue is allocated to each deliverable based on its relative fair value; otherwise, revenue is recognized as products are delivered or as services are provided over the term of the customer contract.

 

Contract liabilities is shown separately in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as current liabilities. At March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had contract liabilities of approximately $30,364 27,110and $36,765, respectively.

 

Cost of Product Sales and Services

 

Cost of sales consists primarily of materials, airtime and overhead costs incurred internally and amounts incurred to contract manufacturers to produce our products, airtime and other implementation costs incurred to install our products and train customer personnel, and customer service and third-party original equipment manufacturer costs to provide continuing support to our customers. There are certain costs which are deferred and recorded as prepaids, until such revenue is recognized. Refer to revenue recognition above as to what constitutes deferred revenue.

 

Shipping and handling costs are included as a component of costs of product sales in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations because the Company includes in revenue the related costs that the Company bills its customers.

 

Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets include customer contracts purchased and recorded based on the cost to acquire them. These assets are amortized over 10 years. Useful lives of intangible assets are periodically evaluated for reasonableness and the assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may no longer be recoverable.

Property and Equipmentequipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is based on the estimated service lives of the depreciable assets and is calculated using the straight-line method. Expenditures that increase the value or productive capacity of assets are capitalized. Fully depreciated assets are retained in the property and equipment, and accumulated depreciation accounts until they are removed from service. When property and equipment are retired, sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset’s carrying amount and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Leasehold improvements have an estimated service life of the term of the respective lease.

 

The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are generally as follows:

SCHEDULE OF ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Years
Office furniture and fixtures44
Computer equipment44
Rental equipment44
Leasehold improvementsAppliques510

Website development22

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not consider it necessary to record any impairment charges during the periods ended March 31,June 30, 2022 and March 31,June 30, 2021, respectively.

 

Accounting for Derivative Instruments

 

Derivatives are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. These derivatives, including embedded derivatives in the Company’s structured borrowings, are separately valued and accounted for on the Company’s balance sheet. Fair values for exchange traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. Where market prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using market-based pricing models incorporating readily observable market data and requiring judgment and estimates.

 

The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value in accordance with the accounting guidance. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of the instruments.

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Stock Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

 

Pursuant to ASC Topic 718, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company initially records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. Further, ASC Topic 718, provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718, such as the repricing of share options, which would revalue those options and the accounting for the cancellation of an equity award whether a replacement award or other valuable consideration is issued in conjunction with the cancellation. If not, the cancellation is viewed as a replacement and not a modification, with a repurchase price of $0.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”) which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach require the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.

 

The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, there may be uncertainty about the merits of positions taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.

 

Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefit associated with tax positions taken that exceed the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

 

The Company believes its tax positions are all more likely than not to be upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.

 

The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25, “Definition of Settlement,” which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion and examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open. 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 are filed.

 

Leases

 

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases. Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as both a right of use asset and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right of use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right of use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right of use asset results in front-loaded expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred.

 

In calculating the right of use asset and lease liability, the Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from the new guidance as an accounting policy election and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

At March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had aggregated current and long-term operating lease liabilities of $11,045 899,987and $19,763, respectively, and right of use assets of $13,840 909,908and $22,643, respectively.

 

The Company continues to account for leases in the prior period financial statements under ASC Topic 840.

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net loss per share does not include dilutive common stock equivalents in the weighted average shares outstanding as they would be anti-dilutive. In periods where the Company has a net loss, all dilutive securities are excluded.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

 

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU 2021-04 clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The ASU provides guidance to clarify whether an issuer should account for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as (1) an adjustment to equity and, if so, the related earnings per share effects, if any, or (2) an expense and, if so, the manner and pattern of recognition. ASU 2021-04 is effective for annual beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2021, the FASB issued guidance which requires companies to apply Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact and timing of adoption of this guidance

 

Any new accounting standards, not disclosed above, that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Capital Structure

 

On March 28, 2014, in connection with the Reincorporation (see Note 1), all share and per share values for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are retroactively restated for the effect of the Reincorporation.

 

On March 5, 2016, the Company shareholders voted in favor of an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to increase the total number of shares of authorized capital stock to 800,000,000 shares consisting of (i) 750,000,000 shares of common stock and (ii) 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock from 220,000,000 shares consisting of (i) 200,000,000 shares of common stock and (ii) 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

 

Effective March 8, 2018, we conducted a reverse split of our common stock at a ratio of 1 for 150. All share and per share information in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes has been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse split.

 

On July 24, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Change (the “Certificate of Change”) with the Nevada Secretary of State. The Certificate of Change provides for (i) a 1-for-15 reverse split (the “Reverse Split”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and the Company’s preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share, (ii) a reduction in the number of authorized shares of common stock in direct proportion to the Reverse Split (i.e. from 750,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares), and (iii) a reduction in the number of authorized shares of preferred stock in direct proportion to the Reverse Split (i.e. from 50,000,000 shares to 3,333,333 shares).

January 2022 Private Placement of Common Stock

 

On December 31, 2021, after markets closed, a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) was circulated to, and signatures were received from, certain institutional and accredited investors (the “December Investors”) in connection with the sale in a private placement by the Company of 2,229,950 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “December Offering”). On January 2, 2022, the Company delivered to December Investors a fully executed Purchase Agreement, which was dated December 31, 2021. The purchase price for the common stock sold in the December Offering was $3.24 per share, the closing transaction price reported by Nasdaq on December 31, 2021.

 

The closing of the December Offering occurred on January 5, 2022. The Company received gross proceeds from the sale of the common stock in the December Offering of approximately $7.2 million. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the December Offering for general corporate purposes, including potential acquisitions and joint ventures. Approximately 73% of funds raised in the December Offering were secured from existing shareholders and from the members of the Company’s senior management and Board of Directors.

 

In connection with the December Offering, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the December Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement to register for resale the shares of the Company’s common stock sold in the Offering.

 

The shares of common stock offered and sold in the December Offering were sold in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities or “blue sky” laws.

 

The terms of the transaction disclosed above, including the provisions of the Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement, were approved by the Board of Directors; and because some of the securities were offered and sold to officers and directors of the Company, such terms were separately reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

 

On January 5, 2022, the Company issued 2,229,950shares of common stock pursuant to a private placement offering at a per share price of $3.24, resulting in gross proceeds of $7,225,038. Legal and registration fees amounted to $220,000, resulting in net proceeds of $7,005,038. Prior to the private placement close, proceeds of $1,400,000, were received and recorded as a stock subscription payable, for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Restricted Stock Award

 

On January 21, 2022, the Company issued 10,000shares of common stock, in connection withpursuant to a restricted stock awards,award, “RSA” granted on January 7, 2022 and effective on January 20, 2022. The award is for 20,000 restricted shares of common, which vest in two equal installments, the first on effective date and the remaining on the one year anniversary of the effective date, with a fair market value of $3.48per share, on the date of issuance. All shares were fully vested and upon issuance resulted in stock-based compensation of $34,800. Shares were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as there was no general solicitation, and the transaction did not involve a public offering.

 

On May 23, 2021, the Company entered a three (3) year Employment Agreement (the “May Agreement”) with Mr. Charles M. Fernandez to serve as Chairman of the Board. However, two weeks later on June 2, 2021, the Company entered into a new employment agreement (the “June Agreement”) with Mr. Fernandez, which superseded and replaced “the May Agreement.” The June Agreement has an initial term of 5 years effective on May 28, 2021. Mr. Fernandez received the award of restricted stock with a grant date fair value equal to $3,000,000 determined at the per unit offering price in the June Offering ($5 per Unit) (the “RSA”), which RSA will vest 1/3 at each of the three anniversaries of the grant date. The Grant Date for the RSA is May 28, 2021, as determined pursuant to the June Agreement. Notwithstanding the vesting schedule, full vesting will occur upon a Change in Control, as that term is defined in the Restricted Stock Agreement pursuant to which the RSA was made (the “June Restricted Stock Agreement”). If Mr. Fernandez’s employment is terminated for any reason at any time by the Company prior to the full vesting of the RSA without “Cause” (as that term is defined in the June Agreement), the RSA will vest and Mr. Fernandez will receive all right, title and interest in the balance of the securities granted to him in the RSA, in regard to the restricted stock award. The Company at its sole expense is obligated to register for reoffer and resale by Mr. Fernandez the securities granted to him pursuant to the May Restricted Stock Agreement.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, pursuant to Mr. Fernandez employment agreement, the “June Agreement”, see Note 12, the Company recorded stock-based compensation and additional paid in capital, in the amount of $654,246. The value of the award for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021 was $297,534 and $356,712 , respectively. The company has charged the full valuation since inception to its current period. The prior year charge had not been recognized and was deemed as immaterial in scope for further adjustments. The award is valued over the service period of the June Agreement, five years from the date of grant, May 28, 2021. On May 28, 2022, 200,000 of the RSA or one third of the award, became vested and issuable. On July 22, 2022, the Company issued 200,000 of restricted common stock, see Note 14.

COVID-19

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic prompting government-imposed quarantines, suspension of in-person attendance of academic programs, and cessation of certain travel and business closures. The United States has entered a recession as a resultimpact of the COVID-19 pandemic which may prolong and exacerbatehas rapidly evolved around the negative impact on us. Although we expect the availability of vaccines and various treatments with respect to COVID-19 to have an overall positive impact on business conditionsglobe, causing disruption in the aggregate over time,U.S. and global economies. Although the exact timing of these positive developments is uncertain. In December 2020,global economy continued reopening in early 2022 and robust economic activity has supported a continued recovery, certain geographies, most notably China, have experienced setbacks.

The uncertainty surrounding the United States began distributing two vaccines that, in addition to other vaccines under development, are expected to help to reduce the spread of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 once they are widely distributed. If the vaccines prove less effective than currently understood by the scientific community and the United States Food and Drug Administration, or if there are problems with the acceptance, availability, timing or other difficulties with widely distributing the vaccines, the pandemic, may last longer, and could continue to impact our business for longer, than we currently expect. In response to COVID-19, governmental authorities have implemented numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, prohibitions on group events and gatherings, shutdowns of certain businesses, curfews, shelter in place orders and recommendations to practice social distancing. Although many governmental measures have had specific expiration dates, some of those measures have already been extended more than once, and there is considerableincluding uncertainty regarding the duration of such measures and the implementation of any potential future measures, especially if cases increase again across the United States, with the potential for additional challenges resulting from the emergence of new variants of COVID-19 some of which may be more transmissible than the initial strain. Such measuresthat have impacted,emerged and other factors have and may continue to affect, our workforce, operations, supplierscontribute to significant volatility in the global markets. While vaccine availability and customers. We reduceduptake has increased, the size of our workforce following the onset oflonger-term macro-economic effects on global supply chains, inflation, labor shortages and wage increases continue to impact many industries. COVID-19 and may need to take additional actions to further reduce the size of our workforcecurrent financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in the future; such reductions incur costs,these and we can provide no assurance that we will be able to rehire our workforce in the event our business experiences a subsequent recovery. We took steps to curtail our operating expensesother areas present uncertainty and conserve cash. We may elect or need to take additional remedial measures in the future as the information available to us continues to develop, includingrisk with respect to our workforce, relationships with our third-party vendors, and our customers. There is no certainty that the remedial measures we have implemented to date, or any additional remedial steps we may take in the future, will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by COVID-19. Further, such measures could potentially materially adversely affect our business,performance, financial condition, and results of operations and create additional risks for us. Any escalation of COVID-19 cases across many of the markets we serve could have a negative impact on us. Specifically, we could be adversely impacted by limitations on our employees to perform their work due to illness caused by the pandemic or local, state, or federal orders requiring our stores to close or employees to remain at home; limitation of carriers to deliver our product to customers; product shortages; limitations on the ability of our customers to conduct their business and purchase our products and services; and limitations on the ability of our customers to pay us in a timely manner. These events could have a material, adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.operations.

 

The ultimate magnitude of COVID-19, including the full extent of the material negative impact on our financial and operational results, will depend on future developments. The resumption of our normal business operations may be delayed or constrained by lingering effects of COVID-19 on our customers, suppliers and/or third-party service providers. Furthermore, the extent to which our mitigation efforts are successful, if at all, is not currently ascertainable. Due to the daily evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the responses to curb its spread, we cannot predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and results of operations, but our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows have already been materially adversely impacted, and we anticipate they will continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and its negative effects on global economic conditions. Any recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic impact may also be slowed or reversed by a variety of factors, such as any increase in COVID-19 infections. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts to our business as a result of its national and, to some extent, global economic impact, including the current recession and any recession that may occur in the future.

 

The success of our business depends on our global operations, including our supply chain and consumer demand, among other things. As a result of COVID-19, we have experienced shortages in inventory due to manufacturing issues, a reduction in the volume of sales in some parts of our business, such as rental sales and direct website sales, and a reduction in personnel due to lockdown related issues. Our results of operations for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, reflect this impact; however, we expect that this trend may continue, and the full extent of the impact is unknown. In recent months, some governmental agencies in the US and Europe, where we produce the largest percentage of our sales, have lifted certain restrictions. However, if customer demand continues to be low, our future equipment sales, subscriber activations and sales margin will be impacted.

Appointment of Director; Compensatory Arrangements of Director

 

On January 7, 2022, the Board appointed Rodney Barreto as a new director to the Board, effective January 20, 2022. No decision has been made with respect to the naming of Mr. Barreto to any regular committees of the Board.

On June 22, 2021, Thomas Seifert’s employment as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer was terminated for cause. Mr. Seifert asserts that the termination was not for cause and that he is owed all compensation payable under his June 2, 2021 employment agreement executed in June 2021.agreement. The Company’s position is that Mr. Seifert is not owed any additional consideration or compensation relating to his prior service with the Company or arising under any employment agreement. The Company and Mr. Seifert are currently engaged in litigation over the matter of his employment and termination. The Company believes it has adequate defenses to Mr. Seifert’s claims and has advancedasserted affirmative claims for relief against Mr. Seifert including, but not limited to, breach of the employment agreement, breach of the fiduciary, fraud in the inducement in connection with the employment agreement, fraudulent misrepresentation, and constructive fraud. The Company does not expect to seek substantial monetary relief in the litigation. This dispute is pending before the District Court for the Southern District of Florida under Case No. 1:21-cv-22436-DPG.

On June 24, 2021, Seifert submitted an online whistleblower complaint to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) alleging that NextPlat engaged in retaliatory employment practices in violation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. NextPlat responded by moving to dismiss Seifert’s complaint, citing Seifert’s failure to make a prima facie showing that a protected activity contributed to the adverse action alleged in the complaint. On July 21, 2022, following an investigation by the Regional Administrator for OSHA, Region IV, the Secretary of Labor issued its findings, dismissing Seifert’s complaint on the grounds that the OSHA investigator found that the evidence did not support Seifert’s claims.

COVID-19 Update

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic prompting government-imposed quarantines, suspension of in-person attendance of academic programs, and cessation of certain travel and business closures. The United States has entered a recession as a resultimpact of the COVID-19 pandemic which may prolong and exacerbatehas rapidly evolved around the negative impact on us. Although we expect the availability of vaccines and various treatments with respect to COVID-19 to have an overall positive impact on business conditionsglobe, causing disruption in the aggregate over time,U.S. and global economies. Although the exact timing of these positive developments is uncertain. In December 2020,global economy continued reopening in early 2022 and robust economic activity has supported a continued recovery, certain geographies, most notably China, have experienced setbacks.

The uncertainty surrounding the United States began distributing two vaccines that, in addition to other vaccines under development, are expected to help to reduce the spread of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 once they are widely distributed. If the vaccines prove less effective than currently understood by the scientific community and the United States Food and Drug Administration, or if there are problems with the acceptance, availability, timing or other difficulties with widely distributing the vaccines, the pandemic, may last longer, and could continue to impact our business for longer, than we currently expect. In response to COVID-19, governmental authorities have implemented numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, prohibitions on group events and gatherings, shutdowns of certain businesses, curfews, shelter in place orders and recommendations to practice social distancing. Although many governmental measures have had specific expiration dates, some of those measures have already been extended more than once, and there is considerableincluding uncertainty regarding the duration of such measures and the implementation of any potential future measures, especially if cases increase across the United States, with the potential for additional challenges resulting from the emergence of new variants of COVID-19 some of which may be more transmissible than the initial strain. Such measuresthat have impacted,emerged and other factors have and may continue to affect, our workforce, operations, supplierscontribute to significant volatility in the global markets. While vaccine availability and customers. We reduceduptake has increased, the size of our workforce following the onset oflonger-term macro-economic effects on global supply chains, inflation, labor shortages and wage increases continue to impact many industries. COVID-19 and may need to take additional actions to further reduce the size of our workforcecurrent financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in the future; such reductions incur costs,these and we can provide no assurance that we will be able to rehire our workforce in the event our business experiences a subsequent recovery. We took steps to curtail our operating expensesother areas present uncertainty and conserve cash. We may elect or need to take additional remedial measures in the future as the information available to us continues to develop, includingrisk with respect to our workforce, relationships with our third-party vendors, and our customers. There is no certainty that the remedial measures we have implemented to date, or any additional remedial steps we may take in the future, will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by COVID-19. Further, such measures could potentially materially adversely affect our business,performance, financial condition, and results of operations and create additional risks for us. Any escalation of COVID-19 cases across many of the markets we serve could have a negative impact on us. Specifically, we could be adversely impacted by limitations on our employees to perform their work due to illness caused by the pandemic or local, state, or federal orders requiring our stores to close or employees to remain at home; limitation of carriers to deliver our product to customers; product shortages; limitations on the ability of our customers to conduct their business and purchase our products and services; and limitations on the ability of our customers to pay us in a timely manner. These events may have a material, adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.operations.

 

The ultimate magnitude of COVID-19, including the full extent of the material negative impact on our financial and operational results, will depend on future developments, such as the duration and severity of the pandemic, the extent of any additional increases in cases across the United States, and the related length of its impact on the global economy, as well as the timing and availability of effective medical treatments and vaccines, which remain uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. The resumption of our normal business operations may be delayed or constrained by lingering effects of COVID-19 on our customers, suppliers and/or third-party service providers. Furthermore, the extent to which our mitigation efforts are successful, if at all, is not currently ascertainable. Due to the daily evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the responses to curb its spread, we cannot predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and results of operations, but our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows have already been materially adversely impacted, and we anticipate they will continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and its negative effects on global economic conditions. Any recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic impact may also be slowed or reversed by a variety of factors, such as any increase in COVID-19 infections. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts to our business as a result of its national and, to some extent, global economic impact, including the current recession and any recession that may occur in the future.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

The success of our business depends on our global operations, including our supply chain and consumer demand, among other things. As a result of COVID-19, we have experienced shortages in inventory due to manufacturing issues, a reduction in the volume of sales in some parts of our business, such as rental sales and direct website sales, and a reduction in personnel due to lockdown related issues. Our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 reflected this impact. Recently, some governmental agencies in the US and Europe, where we produce the largest percentage of our sales, have lifted certain restrictions. We have incurred strong increases in sales outside of our Amazon marketplaces for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022. However due to uncertainties related to variants of COVID-19, we are uncertain as to the continuation of the increases to revenue.

 

Recent Events

 

Expanding beyond our current global network of online storefronts serving thousands of consumers, enterprises, and governments, wethe Company has embarked upon the rollout of a state-of-the-art e-commerce platform to collaborate with businesses to optimize their ability to sell their goods online, domestically, and internationally, and enabling customers and partners to optimize their e-commerce presence and revenue. We intend to develop a next generation platform for digital assets built for Web3, an internet service built using decentralized blockchains. Our new platform (“NextPlat Digital”), which is currently in the design and development phase in collaboration with consultants and contracted developers, will initially enable the use of non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”), in e-commerce and in community-building activities. NextPlat Digital may in the future also enable the posting and use of other digital or “crypto” assets once applicable legal and regulatory requirements are addressed. As currently contemplated, NextPlat Digital will facilitate the creation/minting, purchase and sale of a broad range of non-yield-generating and non-fractionalized NFT products, including, but not limited to, art, music, collectables, digital real estate, video games, game items and certificates of authenticity. We also anticipated developing and deploying NFTs for use in tokenizing data for use in brand loyalty programs.

 

NextPlat Digital, as currently planned, will be used by us to create both (a) public marketplaces, for us and third-parties, where anyone with a crypto wallet or credit card can buy an NFT from an authorized user, or, if authorized, sell their own NFTs, and (b) private market places that only allow a particular company or entity to sell their own NFTs within a branded market (such as for the promotion of a particular brand or product). We anticipate that NextPlat Digital will be substantially complete within the next six to nine months.

 

29

The legal status of NFTs under a myriad of state and federal laws and regulatory regimes (including securities, banking, and commodities laws) is highly uncertain and unresolved, and the applicability of various of those regimes to any NFTs that we may propose to post on our platform is also unresolved. Our creation and operation of NextPlat Digital will present a number of new regulatory and legal compliance obligations for the Company. As an initial matter we will need to make a determination whether a particular NFT could reasonably be considered a security for federal and state law purposes, and if so we would be required to comply with the applicable securities registration requirements or obtain comfort that our activities would fall within applicable exemptions from registration. To the extent that we determine that a particular NFT could be deemed a “security” within the meaning of the U.S. federal and/or securities laws, we intend to obtain contractual comfort from licensed broker-dealer authorized to act as a trading system for those digital assets that such broker-dealer will comply with the applicable “Know Your Customer” (“KYC”) rules and custom and practice, as well as with the applicable Anti-Money Laundering laws and regulations (“AML”) and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (“CFT”), administered and enforced by the U.S. Treasury Financial Crimes and Enforcement Network discussed below, among others. We may have legal exposure for any alleged failures on the part of such licensed broker-dealer to fulfill its obligations under its contracts with us.

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

In determining if and howWith respect to the securities status of an NFT can be posted onthat we propose to post to our platform, we will follow an internally developed model that will permit us to make a risk-based assessment regarding the likelihood that a particular NFT could be deemed a “security” within the meaning of the U.S. federal and/or state securities laws.laws in determining if and how an NFT can be posted on our platform. This process will involve employees trained to identify the indicia of a “security” who will also work with outside legal counsel experienced in crypto asset regulatory matters to make a determination with respect to each NFT, or category of NFT, proposed to be posted on our platform. These processes and procedures are risk based assessments and are not a legal standard or binding on regulators or courts. In the event an NFT or other digital asset is deemed by us, pursuant to the above analysis, to possess a reasonable likelihood of being deemed a security, we will (a) comply with applicable laws and regulations by forming, acquiring or engaging a licensed broker-dealer authorized to act as an trading system for those digital assets, or (b) transact in such digital assets offshore in a way that complies with applicable laws and regulations; or (c) not transact in the subject NFT. We expect our risk assessment policies will continuously evolve to take into account developments in case law, applicable facts, developments in technology, and changes in applicable regulatory schemes.

We do not currently intend to undertake or participate in “initial coin offerings”, the minting of “coins” or the mining of cryptocurrencies.

Our creationITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Irrespective of a particular NFT’s status as a security, we will need to assess whether we needed to comply with other applicable regulations and operation of NextPlat Digital will also present a number of new regulatorylaws (including but not limited to AML and legal compliance obligations for the Company. For example, ifCFT regulations). If we are deemed to be involved in the exchange or transmission of value that substitutes for currency, or fall under other evolving requirements, we may be deemed to be a “money transmitter” and will be subject to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) rules, as well as U.S. DepartmentAML and CFT regulations. Depending on the particular attributes of an NFT, the manner in which it is marketed, and the nature of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) requirementsclientele, we could be subject to other legal and state licensing requirements. Inregulatory regimes as well. We will endeavor to comply with all applicable laws in connection with complying with applicable regulations andour NextPlat Digital business, but the uncertain application of those laws (including Know-Your-Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Combatingto our proposed business may create substantial risk to the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) regulations) whenCompany.

When onboarding new users, we intend to utilize third-party tools to proactively screen for high-risk crypto wallets, including explicitly sanctioned addresses and addresses associated with sanctioned entities. Crypto wallets protect the identity of the owner of the wallet, store the owner’s private keys, secure and provide access by the owner to the cryptocurrency owned by it and allow the owner to send, receive, and transact business with cryptocurrencies. Such wallets by their nature obfuscate the identity of the owner of the wallet and limit access to the transaction history of that wallet and its owner. Consequently, crypto wallets and cryptocurrencies may be used by persons seeking to avoid legal oversight and to violate the law. For example, they can be used to launder money and to promote terrorism. The applicable legal requirements and our compliance obligations will vary depending on the nature of the client, the service or product provided and jurisdiction. For example, if we engage, form or acquire a broker dealer in order to post, trade or sell NFTs or other digital assets that are securities, we will attempt to fully comply with all applicable KYC, AML and CFT compliance requirements. If, on the other hand, we facilitate the distribution of free promotional corporate collectable NFTs that are not deemed to be securities, our compliance requirements will be significantly less. In either event there can be no assurance that our efforts to fully comply with applicable law will be successful.

In determining to engage in transactions in an NFT, we will attempt to comply with all applicable laws. However, given the substantial legal uncertainties that may presented by those laws and given the informational constraints presented by crypto wallets we may not be successful in our efforts. As a consequence, we may be exposed to regulatory enforcement and civil or criminal sanction should a legal authority determine that our approach is inadequate or inappropriate, as well as to claims asserting civil liability. Moreover, governmental agencies may seek to apply laws to our NextPlat Digital business that we believe are inapplicable and may seek sanctions relating to our alleged failure to comply with those laws.

Our current liabilities at March 31,June 30, 2022 decreased 38.6%$1,274,282 or 45.8% from December 31, 2021 and included our accounts payable, due to related party, provision for income taxes, contract liabilities, lease liabilities and other liabilities in the ordinary course of our business.

 

At March 31,June 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $22,836,298,$24,492,159, working capital of $22,766,775$21,324,348 and net loss of $850,083$2,505,944 during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022.

 

As of the date of this report, the Company’s existing cash resources and existing borrowing availability are sufficient to support planned operations for the next 12 months. As a result, management believes that the existing financial resources are sufficient to continue operating activities for at least one year past the issuance date of the financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.

 

Our company has not entered into any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement with an entity unconsolidated with us under which we have

 

an obligation under a guaranteed contract, although we do have obligations under certain sales arrangements including purchase obligations to vendors
  
a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to the unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity for such assets,
  
any obligation, including a contingent obligation, under a contract that would be accounted for as a derivative instrument, or
  
any obligation, including a contingent obligation, arising out of a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that is held by us and material to us where such entity provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Critical accounting estimates are those that management deems to be most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, due to the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. We have identified our critical accounting estimates which are discussed below.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statements of financial condition, and revenues and expenses for the years then ended. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, the assumptions used to calculate stock-based compensation, derivative liabilities and common stock issued for services.

Reclassification

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiaries, Orbital Satcom Corp. andCorp, Global Telesat Communications Ltd. and NextPlat B.V. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

 

The Company has a policy of reserving for questionable accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are offset against sales and relieved from accounts receivable, after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of March 31,June 30, 2022, and 2021, there were no allowances for doubtful accountsaccounts.

Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in first-out cost method. The Company assesses the valuation of its inventories and reduces the carrying value of those inventories that are obsolete or in excess of the Company’s forecasted usage to their estimated net realizable value. The Company estimates the net realizable value of such inventories based on analysis and assumptions including, but not limited to, historical usage, expected future demand and market requirements. A change to the carrying value of inventories is recorded to cost of goods sold.

 

Prepaid expenses

 

Prepaid expenses amounted to $172,950$106,947 and $146,935, at March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Prepaid expenses include prepayments in cash for rent, insurance pre-payments associated with the Company’s new office and software license fees which are being amortized over the terms of the respective agreement. The current portion consists of costs paid for future services which will occur within a year.

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s reporting currency is U.S. Dollars. The accounts of one of the Company’s subsidiaries, GTCL, is maintained using the appropriate local currency, Great British Pound, as the functional currency. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars at balance sheet date, shareholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rate for the year or the reporting period. The translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, captioned as accumulated other comprehensive (loss) gain. Transaction gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statements of operations.

 

The relevant translation rates are as follows: for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, closing rate at 1.31381.2165 US$: GBP, quarterly average rate at 1.34191731.256640 US$: GBP and yearly average rate at 1.29979 US$: GBP, for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, closing rate at 1.37831.382800 US$: GBP, quarterly average rate at 1.3790681.397146 US$: GBP and yearly average rate at 1.388107 US$: GBP, for the year ended 2021 closing rate at 1.353372 US$: GBP, yearly average rate at 1.375083 US$: GBP.

 

Revenue Recognition and Unearned Revenue

 

The Company recognizes revenue from satellite services when earned, as services are rendered or delivered to customers. Equipment sales revenue is recognized when the equipment is delivered to and accepted by the customer. Only equipment sales are subject to warranty. Historically, the Company has not incurred significant expenses for warranties. Equipment sales which have been prepaid, before the goods are shipped are recorded as contract liabilities and once shipped is recognized as revenue. The Company also records as contract liabilities, certain annual plans for airtime, which are paid in advance. Once airtime services are incurred, they are recognized as revenue. Unbilled revenue is recognized for airtime plans whereby the customer is invoiced for its data usage the following month after services are incurred.

 

The Company’s customers generally purchase a combination of our products and services as part of a multiple element arrangement. The Company’s assessment of which revenue recognition guidance is appropriate to account for each element in an arrangement can involve significant judgment. This assessment has a significant impact on the amount and timing of revenue recognition.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

Property and Equipmentequipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is based on the estimated service lives of the depreciable assets and is calculated using the straight-line method. Expenditures that increase the value or productive capacity of assets are capitalized. Fully depreciated assets are retained in the property and equipment, and accumulated depreciation accounts until they are removed from service. When property and equipment are retired, sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset’s carrying amount and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Leasehold improvements have an estimated service life of the term of the respective lease.

 

The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are generally as follows:

 

  Years 
Office furniture and fixtures  4 
Computer equipment  4 
Rental equipment  4
Leasehold improvements5 
Appliques  10 
Website development  2 

 

Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets include customer contracts purchased and recorded based on the cost to acquire them. These assets are amortized over 10 years. Useful lives of intangible assets are periodically evaluated for reasonableness and the assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may no longer be recoverable.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not consider it necessary to record any impairment charges during the periods ended March 31,June 30, 2022 and March 31,June 30, 2021, respectively.

 

Accounting for Derivative Instruments

 

Derivatives are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. These derivatives, including embedded derivatives in the Company’s structured borrowings, are separately valued and accounted for on the Company’s balance sheet. Fair values for exchange traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. Where market prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using market-based pricing models incorporating readily observable market data and requiring judgment and estimates.

 

The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value in accordance with the accounting guidance. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of the instruments.

 

Share-Based Payments

 

Compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions are recognized in the financial statements. The cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

 

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU 2021-04 clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The ASU provides guidance to clarify whether an issuer should account for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as (1) an adjustment to equity and, if so, the related earnings per share effects, if any, or (2) an expense and, if so, the manner and pattern of recognition. ASU 2021-04 is effective for annual beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

In October 2021, the FASB issued guidance which requires companies to apply Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact and timing of adoption of this guidance

 

Any new accounting standards, not disclosed above, that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management is also required to assess and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). During our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, management identified significant deficiencies related to (i) our internal audit functions and (ii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions. Therefore, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of March 31,June 30, 2022.

 

Management has determined that our internal audit function is significantly deficient due to insufficient qualified resources to perform internal audit functions.

 

Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible or economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, we will implementare implementing procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals.

 

We believe that the foregoing steps will remediate the significant deficiency identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate. Due to the nature of this significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting, there is more than a remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to our annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.

 

A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) 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. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On June 22, 2021, Thomas Seifert’s employment as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer was terminated for cause. Mr. Seifert asserts that the termination was not for cause and that he is owed all compensation payable under his June 2, 2021 employment agreement executed in June 2021.agreement. The Company’s position is that Mr. Seifert is not owed any additional consideration or compensation relating to his prior service with the Company or arising under any employment agreement. The Company and Mr. Seifert are currently engaged in litigation over the matter of his employment and termination. The Company believes it has adequate defenses to Mr. Seifert’s claims and has advancedasserted affirmative claims for relief against Mr. Seifert including, but not limited to, breach of the employment agreement, breach of the fiduciary, fraud in the inducement in connection with the employment agreement, fraudulent misrepresentation, and constructive fraud. The Company does not expect to seek substantial monetary relief in the litigation. This dispute is pending before the District Court for the Southern District of Florida under Case No. 1:21-cv-22436-DPG.

On June 24, 2021, Seifert submitted an online whistleblower complaint to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) alleging that NextPlat engaged in retaliatory employment practices in violation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. NextPlat responded by moving to dismiss Seifert’s complaint, citing Seifert’s failure to make a prima facie showing that a protected activity contributed to the adverse action alleged in the complaint. On July 21, 2022, following an investigation by the Regional Administrator for OSHA, Region IV, the Secretary of Labor issued its findings, dismissing Seifert’s complaint on the grounds that the OSHA investigator found that the evidence did not support Seifert’s claims.

From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. The Company is not currently involved in any pending legal proceeding or litigation, and to the best of our knowledge, no governmental authority is contemplating any proceeding to which the Company is a party or to which any of the Company’s properties is subject, which would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Qshould be read in conjunction with our 2021 Form 10-K, which describes various material risks and uncertainties to which we are or may become subject. These risks and uncertainties could, directly or indirectly, adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, or cash flows and could cause our actual results to differ materially from our past results or the results contemplated by any forward-looking statements we make.

46

 

Material changes from the risk factors set forth in our 2021 Form 10-K are set forth below:

 

Whether a particular non-fungible token (NFT) or other digital or “crypto” asset is a “security” is subject to a high degree of uncertainty, and if we are unable to properly characterize an NFT or other digital asset, we may be subject to regulatory scrutiny, inquiries, investigations, fines, and other penalties, which may adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

 

The SEC and its staff have taken the position that certain digital or “crypto” assets (which includes NFTs) fall within the definition of a “security” under the U.S. federal securities laws. The legal test for determining whether any given digital asset is a security is a highly complex, fact-driven analysis that evolves over time, and the outcome is difficult to predict. The SEC generally does not provide advance guidance or confirmation on the status of any particular digital asset as a security. Furthermore, the SEC’s views in this area have evolved over time and it is difficult to predict the direction or timing of any continuing evolution. It is also possible that a change in the governing administration or the appointment of new SEC commissioners could substantially impact the views of the SEC and its staff.

 

Several foreign jurisdictions have taken a broad-based approach to classifying digital assets as “securities,” while certain other foreign jurisdictions have adopted a narrower approach. As a result, certain digital assets may be deemed to be a “security” under the laws of some jurisdictions but not others. Various foreign jurisdictions may, in the future, adopt additional laws, regulations, or directives that affect the characterization of digital assets as “securities.”

 

The classification of a digital asset as a security under applicable law has wide-ranging implications for the regulatory obligations that flow from the offer and sale of such assets. For example, a digital asset that is a security in the United States may generally only be offered or sold in the United States pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC or in an offering that qualifies for an exemption from registration. Persons that effect transactions in digital assets that are securities in the United States may be subject to registration with the SEC as a “broker” or “dealer.” Platforms that bring together purchasers and sellers to trade digital assets that are securities in the United States are generally subject to registration as national securities exchanges, or must qualify for an exemption, such as by being operated by a registered broker-dealer as an alternative trading system (ATS) in compliance with rules for ATSs. Persons facilitating clearing and settlement of securities may be subject to registration with the SEC as a clearing agency. Foreign jurisdictions may have similar licensing, registration, and qualification requirements.

 

We have policies and processesWith respect to analyze whether eachthe securities status of an NFT that we seekpropose to facilitate posting and sale onpost to our platform, could be deemed to be a “security” under applicable laws. Our policies and processes do not constitute a legal standard but rather represent our company-developedwe will follow an internally developed model which permitsthat will permit us to make a risk-based assessment regarding the likelihood that a particular NFT could be deemed a “security” underwithin the meaning of the U.S. federal and/or state securities laws in determining if and how an NFT can be posted on our platform. This process will involve employees trained to identify the indicia of a “security” who will also work with outside legal counsel experienced in crypto asset regulatory matters to make a determination with respect to each NFT, or category of NFT, proposed to be posted on our platform. These processes and procedures are risk-based assessments and are not a legal standard or binding on regulators or courts. In the event an NFT or other digital asset is deemed by us, pursuant to the above analysis, to possess a reasonable likelihood of being deemed a security, we will (a) comply with applicable laws.laws and regulations by forming, acquiring or engaging a licensed broker-dealer authorized to act as an trading system for those digital assets, or (b) transact in such digital assets offshore in a way that complies with applicable laws and regulations; or (c) not transact in the subject NFT. Regardless of our conclusions, we could be subject to legal or regulatory action in the event the SEC, a state or foreign regulatory authority, or a court were to determine that an NFT posted and sold on our platform is a “security” under applicable laws. Because our platform is not registered or licensed with the SEC or foreign authorities as a broker-dealer, national securities exchange, or ATS (or foreign equivalents), and we do not seek to register or rely on an exemption from such registration or license to facilitate the offer and sale of NFTs on our platform, we will only permit posting on our platform of those NFTs for which we determine there are reasonably strong arguments to conclude that the NFT is not a security. We believe that our process reflects a comprehensive and thoughtful analysis and is reasonably designed to facilitate consistent application of available legal guidance to digital assets to facilitate informed risk-based business judgment. However, we recognize that the application of securities laws to the specific facts and circumstances of digital assets may be complex and subject to change, and that a posting determination does not guarantee any conclusion under the U.S. federal securities laws. We expect our risk assessment policies and towill continuously evolve to take into account developments in case law, applicable facts, and developments in technology.technology, and changes in applicable regulatory schemes.

47

 

There can be no assurances that we will properly characterize any given NFT as a security or non-security for purposes of determining whether our platform will allow the posting of such NFT, or that the SEC, foreign regulatory authority, or a court, if the question was presented to it, would agree with our assessment. If the SEC, state or foreign regulatory authority, or a court were to determine that NFTs offered or sold on our platform are securities, we would not be able to offer such NFTs until we are able to do so in a compliant manner. A determination by the SEC, a state or foreign regulatory authority, or a court that an NFT posted and sold on our platform was a security may also result in us determining that it is advisable to remove NFTs from our platform that have similar characteristics to the NFT that was determined to be a security. In addition, we could be subject to judicial or administrative sanctions for failing to offer or sell the NFT in compliance with the registration requirements, or for acting as a broker, dealer, or national securities exchange without appropriate registration. Such an action could result in injunctions, cease and desist orders, as well as civil monetary penalties, fines, and disgorgement, criminal liability, and reputational harm. Customers that purchased such NFTs on our platform and suffered losses could also seek to rescind a transaction that we facilitated as the basis that it was conducted in violation of applicable law, which could subject us to significant liability. We may also be required to cease facilitating transactions in other similar NFTs, which could negatively impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.

We are subject to payments-related regulations and risks.

We may provide regulated services in certain jurisdictions because we enable customers to keep account balances with us and transfer money to third parties, and because we may provide services to third parties to facilitate payments on their behalf. In these jurisdictions, we may be subject to requirements for licensing, regulatory inspection, bonding and capital maintenance, the use, handling, and segregation of transferred funds, consumer disclosures, and authentication. We are also subject to, or voluntarily comply with, a number of other laws and regulations relating to payments, money laundering, international money transfers, know-your-customer requirements (KYC), privacy and information security, and electronic fund transfers. If we were found to be in violation of applicable laws or regulations, we could be subject to additional requirements and civil and criminal penalties or forced to cease providing certain services.

The uncertain application of a myriad of state and federal laws to our NextPlat Digital business may expose us to regulatory enforcement and civil or criminal sanction should a legal authority determine that our approach to compliance is inadequate or inappropriate.

The legal status of NFTs under a myriad of state and federal laws and regulatory regimes (including without limitation, securities, banking, and commodities laws) is highly uncertain and unresolved, and the applicability of various of those regimes to any NFTs that we may propose to post on our platform is also unresolved. Our creation and operation of NextPlat Digital will present a number of new regulatory and legal compliance obligations for the Company, including the potential need to comply with “Know Your Customer” (“KYC”) rules and custom and practice, as well as with the applicable Anti-Money Laundering laws and regulations (“AML”) and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (“CFT”), among others. As a result of the uncertain legal status of digital assets we may have legal exposure for our failure to adequately comply with legal regimes that are known to us. In addition governmental agencies may seek to apply laws to our NextPlat Digital business that we believe are inapplicable, and may seek sanctions relating to our alleged failure to comply with those laws.

Our transaction of digital asset business involving the use of crypto wallets and cryptocurrencies may expose us to allegations of violation of applicable KYC, AML and CFT and other compliance requirements.

When onboarding new users, we intend to utilize third-party tools to proactively screen for high-risk crypto wallets, including explicitly sanctioned addresses and addresses associated with sanctioned entities. The applicable legal requirements and our compliance obligations will vary depending on the nature of the client, the service or product provided and jurisdiction. For example, if we engage, form or acquire a broker dealer in order to post, trade or sell NFTs or other digital assets that are securities, we will attempt to fully comply with all applicable KYC, AML and CFT compliance requirements. Given the substantial legal uncertainties that may presented by those laws and given the informational constraints presented by crypto wallets we may be exposed to regulatory enforcement and civil or criminal sanction, as well as to claims asserting civil liability.

Ownership of digital assets is pseudonymous, and the supply is often unknown. Individuals or entities with substantial holdings may engage in large-scale sales or distributions, either on non- market terms or in the ordinary course, which could disproportionately and negatively affect the market, result in a reduction in the price of the digital asset and materially and adversely affect the price of our common stock.

Generally, there is no registry showing which individuals or entities own a digital asset or the quantity that is owned by any particular person or entity. There are no regulations in place that would prevent a large holder of a digital asset from selling it. To the extent such large holders engage in large-scale sales or distributions, either on non-market terms or in the ordinary course, it could negatively affect the market for the digital asset and result in a reduction in the price. This, in turn, could materially and adversely affect the price of our stock, our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results.

Because there has been limited precedent set for financial accounting for digital assets, the determinations that we have made for how to account for digital assets transactions may be subject to change.

Because there has been limited precedent set for the financial accounting for digital assets and related revenue recognition and no official guidance has yet been provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the SEC, it is unclear how companies may in the future be required to account for cryptocurrency transactions and assets and related revenue recognition. A change in regulatory or financial accounting standards could result in the necessity to change the accounting methods we currently intend to employ in respect of our anticipated revenues and assets and restate any financial statements produced based on those methods. Such a restatement could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operation.
