Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Nature of Operations

ShiftPixy, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on June 3, 2015, in the State of Wyoming. The Company is a specialized Human Capital service provider that provides solutions for large, contingent, part-time workforce demands, primarily in the restaurant and hospitality service trades. The Company’s historic focus has been on the quick service restaurant industry in Southern California, but the Company has expanded into other geographic areas and industries that employ temporary or part-time labor sources, notably including the healthcare industry.

The Company functions as an employment administrative services (“EAS”) provider primarily through its wholly owned subsidiary, ReThink Human Capital Management, Inc. (“HCM”), as well as a staffing provider through another of its wholly owned subsidiaries, ShiftPixy Staffing, Inc. (“Staffing”). These subsidiaries provide a variety of services to our clients typically as a co-employer through HCM and a direct employer through Staffing, including the following: administrative services, payroll processing, human resources consulting, and workers’ compensation administration and coverage (as permitted and/or required by state law). The Company has built a human resources information systems (“HRIS”) platform to assist in client acquisition that simplifies the onboarding of new clients into the Company’s closed proprietary operating and processing information system (the “ShiftPixy Ecosystem”).

In January 2020, the Company sold the assets of Shift Human Capital Management Inc. (“SHCM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to which the Company assigned the majority of the Company’s billable clients at the time of the sale to a third party for cash. The continuing impact of this transaction on the Company’s condensed financial statements is described in Note 2.

Effective October 14, 2023, the Company filed articles of amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation to effect a one-for-twenty four (1:24) reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The reverse split became effective on Nasdaq October 16, 2023. All references to common stock, warrants and options except for the conditional preferred stock option granted in August 2023, to purchase common stock, including per share data and related information contained in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split for all periods presented.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim reports of companies filing as a small reporting company. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. The results of condensed operations for the three months ended November 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending August 31, 2024. For further information, refer to the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023 (“Fiscal 2023”), filed with the SEC on December 14, 2023.

Table of Contents

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ShiftPixy, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated financial statements previously included the accounts of Industrial Human Capital, Inc. (“IHC”), which was a special purpose acquisition company, or “SPAC,” for which our wholly owned subsidiary, ShiftPixy Investments, Inc., served as the financial sponsor (as described below), and which SPAC was deemed to be controlled by the Company a result of the Company’s 15% equity ownership stake, the overlap of three of our executive officers for a period of time as executive officers of IHC, and significant influence that the Company exercised over the funding and acquisition of new operations for an initial business combination (“IBC”). that was a A Variable Interest Entity, All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation until February 7, 2023, at which time it was deconosolidated. As of February 7, 2023, IHC was not a part of the Company’s operations, and consolidation. IHC was dissolved on November 14, 2022, and the Trustee released all the redemption funds from the Trust Account, 4, to IHC shareholders on December 1, 2022, effectively liquidating the Trust. On February 7, 2023, three creditors of IHC filed an involuntary petition for liquidation under Chapter 7 against IHC in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida. Pursuant to ASC 810-10-15, consolidation is precluded where control does not rest for a non-controlling interest in legal reorganization or bankruptcy. In addition, IHC did not meet the criteria of a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). See Note 11 for litigation with IHC.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include:

	·	Continuation as a going concern; management assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of all liabilities in the normal course of business
	·	Liability for legal contingencies
	·	Payroll tax and associated penalties and interest
	·	Impairment of long-lived assets

These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties to these estimates or assumptions that are difficult to measure of value.

Management regularly reviews the key factors and assumptions to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience, and reasonable assumptions. After such valuation, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

As of November 30, 2023, the Company had cash of $1.5 million and a working capital deficit of $54.4 million. During the three months ended November 30, 2023, the Company used approximately $0.6 million of cash from operations and incurred recurring losses, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $231.9 million. As of November 30, 2023, the Company is delinquent with respect to remitting payroll tax payments to the IRS, states and local jurisdictions. The Company has retained tax counsel and has been in near constant communication with the IRS regarding processing its Employee Retention Tax Credits (“ERTCs”). As of September 14, 2023, the IRS has a moratorium on processing new ERTC claims and many of the Company’s clients are seeking refunds. Recently, the Company has filed ERTC claims for its clients and has not received any acceptance from the IRS. Some clients have filed suits against the Company, demanding that the Company take action to file for additional ERTCs for certain tax periods.

·	ShiftPixy has received notices of $11.9 million as of August 31, 2023 and notices relating to liens from the IRS claiming it owes approximately $9.0 million for unpaid payroll tax liabilities, including penalties and interest. The balances reported on such notices do not represent the full payroll tax liability of ShiftPixy as of November 30, 2023 and August 31, 2023, respectively. ShiftPixy expects its payroll tax liabilities, penalties and interest to increase in the future. Moreover, the IRS has threatened to take enforced collection against ShiftPixy, Inc. and ShiftPixy, potentially in addition to other subsidiaries. ShiftPixy has taken steps to preserve so-called “collection due process rights” and present collection alternatives to the proposed enforced collection actions(s). Specifically:

·	ShiftPixy had a collection due process hearing with the IRS Independent Office of Appeals on October 24, 2023. On October 24 and November 6, 2023, ShiftPixy requested that the IRS Independent Office of Appeals (“Appeals”), among other things, abate additions to tax and related interest for the failure to make required deposits and the failure to timely pay required tax. That request is pending before Appeals; and

·	On October 27, 2023, the IRS issued to ShiftPixy a Letter 1058, Final Notice, Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to a Hearing, with respect to ShiftPixy's (a) Form 941 liabilities for the tax periods ending March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2022, and (b) Form 940 liabilities for the tax period ending December 31, 2022 (such liabilities, “ShiftPixy’s Liability That Are Subject to Enforced Collection”). On November 26, 2023, ShiftPixy timely filed a Form 12153, Request for a Collection Due Process or Equivalent Hearing, with respect to ShiftPixy's Liability That Are Subject to Enforced Collection. That Form 12153 requested, among other things, an abatement of additions to tax and related interest for the failure to make required deposits and the failure to timely pay required tax that are included within ShiftPixy’s Liability That Are Subject to Enforced Collection. That request is pending before the IRS Independent Office of Appeals. .

On December 12, 2023, the Company received a lien from the IRS. The IRS can levy the Company’s bank accounts. On January 12, 2024, ShiftPixy filed Form 12153 , Request for a Collection Due Process or Equivalent Hearing, with respect to ShiftPixy's Liability That Are Subject to Enforced Collection

Table of Contents

Notwithstanding the above-described requests for a collection due process hearing, the IRS can determine the collectability of tax. The IRS can, with limited notice, levy the Company’s bank accounts and subject it to enforced collection if ShiftPixy cannot obtain a resolution of the payroll tax issues, the United States Tax Court can (and will be asked to) review Appeals’ determination. There is no assurance that the IRS will abate penalties and interest currently assessed against ShiftPixy. If ShiftPixy is not successful getting the outstanding penalties, and or interest abated, including working out a payment plan with the IRS, it may cause ShiftPixy to file for bankruptcy protection in the near future.

The Company expects to engage in additional sales of its securities during the next twelve months either through registered public offerings or private placements, the proceeds of which the Company intends to use to fund its operations. If these sources do not provide the capital necessary to fund the Company’s operations during the next twelve months, it may need to curtail certain aspects of its operations or expansion activities, consider the sale of additional assets at distressed prices, or consider other means of financing. The Company is also seeking acquisition targets funded by debt and stock, for growth, a recurring revenue base, significant gross profit conversion, margin expansion opportunities, a light industrial sector focus, a blue-chip client base, cyclical tailwinds, and a tenured management team willing and able to execute a comprehensive integration plan. The Company can give no assurance that it will be successful in implementing its business plan and obtaining financing on advantageous terms, or that any such additional financing will be available. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments for this uncertainty. See Note 11, Contingencies for litigation with IHC. If the Company is not successful with outstanding litigation, this could have a material cash flows requirement and a negative impact on ShiftPixy’s operations and working capital.

Under the existing accounting guidance, management must evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. This evaluation initially does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt is determined to exist, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management’s plans; however, is only considered if both (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, may mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Therefore, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Historically, the Company’s principal source of financing has come through the sale of the Company’s common stock, including in certain instances, warrants and the issuance of convertible notes.

Revenue and Direct Cost Recognition

The Company’s revenues are primarily disaggregated into fees for providing staffing solutions and EAS/HCM services. The Company enters into contracts with its clients for Staffing based on a stated rate and price in the contract. Contracts generally have a term of 12 months, are cancellable at any time by either party with 30 days’ written notice. Revenue is (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) the services have been rendered to the customer; (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The performance obligations in the agreements are generally combined into one performance obligation, as they are considered a series of distinct services, and are satisfied over time because the client simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided as the Company performs the services. The Company does not have significant financing components or significant payment terms for its clients and consequently has no material credit losses. The Company uses the output method based on a stated rate and price over the payroll processed to recognize revenue, as the value to the client of the goods or services transferred to date appropriately depicts the Company’s performance towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.

Staffing Solutions

The Company records gross billings as revenues for its staffing solutions clients. The Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the staffing solutions services and has discretion in establishing price. The Company includes payroll costs in revenues with a corresponding increase to cost of revenues for payroll costs associated with these services. As a result, the Company is the principal in this arrangement for revenue recognition purposes.

EAS Solutions / HCM

Employment administrative service or EAS solutions “EAS” and Human Capital Management “HCM” revenues are primarily derived from the Company’s gross billings, which are based on (i) the payroll cost of the Company’s worksite employees (“WSEs”) and (ii) an administrative fee and (iii) if eligible, WSE can elect certain pass-through benefits.

Gross billings are invoiced to each EAS and HCM client, concurrently with each periodic payroll. Revenues are offset by payroll cost component and pass through costs which are presented on a net basis for revenue recognition. WSEs perform their services at the client's worksite. The Company assumes responsibility for processing and remitting payroll to the WSE and payroll related obligations, it does not assume employment-related responsibilities such as determining the amount of the payroll and related payroll obligations. Revenues that have been recognized but not invoiced are included in unbilled accounts receivable on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets were $1.7 million and $1.8 million, as of November 30, 2023 and August 31, 2023, respectively. Payments received by clients in advance of the due date of an invoice are recorded as liability. As of November 30, 2023 and August 31, 2023. the Company recorded a liability for advance payments of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, is included in accounts payable and other liabilities on the condensed balance sheets.

In connection with this transaction, the Company had a Note Receivable to be paid over four years. Prior to Fiscal Year 2023, the Company determined that it was probable that all contractually required payments would not be collected and recorded a reserve on the collectability. For the full amount receivable. Up until November 15, 2023, the company was in litigation with Vensure regarding the aforementioned note receivable. On November 15, 2023, the Company won an arbitration cause for $2.5 million, resulting in a gain during the three month ended November 30, 2023.

The Company had retained workers’ compensation reserves and workers’ compensation related liabilities for former WSEs of clients transferred to Shiftable HR Acquisition LLC in connection with the Vensure Asset Sale, under the Company’s former workers compensation programs “Everest, and Sunz Insurance Solutions, LLC (“Sunz”), which calculated the final policy premium based on the Company’s loss experience during the term of the policy and the stipulated formula set forth in the policy.

The Vensure Asset Sale had previously met the criteria of discontinued operations set forth in ASC 205 and as such the retained workers’ compensation asset and liabilities were presented as a discontinued operation.

Subsequent to the Vensure Asset sale, the Company entered into litigation with both Everest and Sunz, see Note 11 Contingencies and Note 12 Subsequent Events. As of November 30, 2023, the Company has now settled its’ litigation with both Everest and Sunz.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Accounting Standard Codification “ASC” 820, Fair Value Measurement, requires entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate fair value. ASC 820 defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. As of November 30, 2023 and August 31, 2022, the carrying value of certain financial instruments (cash, accounts receivable and payable) approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. Notes Receivable is valued at the Company’s estimate of expected collections.

The Company measures fair value under a framework that utilizes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to relevant valuation techniques. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of inputs used in measuring fair value are:

	·	Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

	·	Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include

	·	Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets

	·	Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets

	·	Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability

	·	Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means; and

	·	If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability

Table of Contents

Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement

When the Company changes its valuation inputs for measuring financial assets and liabilities at fair value, either due to changes in current market conditions or other factors, it could be required to transfer those assets or liabilities to another level in the hierarchy based on the new inputs used. The Company recognizes these transfers at the end of the reporting period that the transfers occur. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and the fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s chief financial officer and are approved by the chief executive officer. There were no transfers out of Level 3 for the three months ended November 30, 2023 and August 31, 2023, respectively.

Level 1 assets consisted of cash as of November 30, and August 31, 2023, respectively. The Company did not have any Level 2 or 3 assets or liabilities as of November 30, 2023 and August 31, 2023.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses all advertising as incurred. Advertising expense for the three months ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2022 was $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Advertising expense includes salaries and external costs.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period, if any, and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. Under ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain tax position on the income tax return may only be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. A full valuation allowance was recorded as of November 30, 2023 and August 31, 2023, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has one stock-based compensation plan under which the Company may issue awards, as described in Note 8, Stock Based Compensation, below. The Company accounts for the Plan under the recognition and measurement principles of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which requires all stock-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations at their fair values.

The grant date fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) pricing model. For all employee stock options, the Company recognizes expense on an accelerated basis over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

The Company’s option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility and expected term. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock since the Company’s initial public offering. Any changes in these highly subjective assumptions significantly impact stock-based compensation expense.

The Company elects to account for forfeitures as they occur. As such, compensation cost previously recognized for an unvested award that is forfeited because of the failure to satisfy a service condition is revised in the period of forfeiture.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding including convertible preferred shares series A, and the option for preferred series A during the reporting period. The preferred series A are considered common stock since the exercise or conversion price to common stock is par value. Diluted net loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include additional common stock equivalents available upon exercise of stock options, warrants, shares of common stock to be issued to directors for services provided and the option for using the treasury stock method. Dilutive common stock equivalents include the dilutive effect of in-the-money stock equivalents, which are calculated based on the average share price for each period using the treasury stock method, excluding any common stock equivalents if their effect would be anti-dilutive. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common stock shares are considered anti-dilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation.

The following potentially dilutive securities were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholder of ShiftPixy, Inc. Because their effect would be antidilutive for the periods presented:

	For the Three Months Ended November 30, 2023		For the Three Months Ended November 30, 2022
Options		295		442
Shares to be issued for services to the board of directors		1,208		-
Warrants		232,679		52,198

Note 3: Accounts Receivable, Unbilled Receivable and Advanced Payments

The Company’s accounts receivable represents outstanding gross billings to clients, net of an allowance for estimated credit losses. The Company in some instances may require our clients to prefund payroll and related liabilities before payroll is processed or due for payment. If a client fails to fund payroll or misses the funding cut-off, at our sole discretion, ShiftPixy may pay the payroll and the resulting amounts due to us are recognized as accounts receivable. When client payment is received in advance of the Company’s performance under the contract, such amount is recorded as client deposits. We establish an allowance for credit losses based on the credit quality of clients, current economic conditions, the age of the accounts receivable balances, historical experience, and other factors that may affect clients’ ability to pay, and charge-off amounts against the allowance when they are deemed uncollectible. The allowance for credit losses was $0.2 million and $0.2 million as of November 30, 2023 and August 31, 2023, respectively.

The Company recognized unbilled revenue when work site employee payroll and payroll tax liabilities in the period in which the WSEs perform work. When clients'' pay periods cross reporting periods, we accrue the portion of the unpaid WSE payroll where we assume, under state regulations, the obligation for the payment of wages and the corresponding payroll tax liabilities associated with the work performed prior to period-end. These estimated payroll and payroll tax liabilities are recorded in accrued wages. The associated receivables, including estimated revenues, offset by advance collections from clients and an allowance for credit losses, are recorded as unbilled revenue. As of November 30, 2023 and August 31, 2023, advance collections included in unbilled revenue were $1.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

All of the 358,333 preferred shares series A were converted into common shares on September 1, 2022, after the Company's reverse stock split had taken effect. Accordingly, no preferred stock series A shares are issued and outstanding as of August 31, 2023.

On August 21, 2023, holders of an aggregate of 358,672 (representing 70.7%) of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, approved by written consent (a) a 1-for-24 (or such other ratio as may be determined by the Board) reverse split of the Company’s common stock, and, separately, (b) the Company’s grant to the its founder and CEO of the Option Agreement providing to him a conditional right to receive 4,744,234 shares of the Company’s preferred stock series A. This was approved by the shareholders.

Mr. Absher exercised the option agreement and on October 17, 2023, converted 4,744,234 shares of preferred stock series A to common stock.

Upon the conversion of the preferred stocks series A s to common stock, the Company has recorded a preferential dividend on preferred series A of $67.4 million. This was based upon the incremental value of the stock that was held prior to the reverse stock split and the date of preferred stock conversion to common stock.

Employee Stock Option Plan

In March 2017, the Company adopted its 2017 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides incentives to eligible employees, officers, directors and consultants in the form of incentive stock options (“ISOs”), non-qualified stock options (“NQs”), (each of which is exercisable into shares of common stock) (collectively, “Options”) or shares of common stock (“Share Grants”).

On March 6, 2023, the shareholders approved an increase in the number of shares of common stock issuable under the Plan from 1,250 to 31,250. Under the terms of the Plan, options granted prior to July 1, 2020, each option has a term of service vesting provision over a period of time as follows: 25% vest after a 12-month service period following the award, with the balance vesting in equal monthly installments over the succeeding 36 months. Options granted on or after July 1, 2020, typically vest over four years, with 25% of the grant vesting one year from the grant date, and the remainer in equal quarterly installments over the succeeding 12 quarters. All options granted to date have a stated ten-year term.

Stock grants are issued at fair value, considered to be the market price on the grant date. The fair value of option awards is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes stock option pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options and future dividends.

The Company elected to account for forfeitures under the Plan as they occur. Any compensation cost previously recognized for an unvested award that is forfeited because of a failure to satisfy a service condition is reversed in the period of the forfeiture.

As of November 30, 2023, there are 30,955 shares available under the Plan.

The Company recognized approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million. of stock-based compensation expense that is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the condensed statement of operations, for the three months ended November 30, 2023, and November 30, 2022, respectively.

Note 11: Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will be resolved only when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment.

Legal

During the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to various claims and litigation.

Everest Litigation

On December 18, 2020, the Company was served with a Complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California by its former workers’ compensation insurance carrier, Everest National Insurance Company. The Complaint asserts claims for breach of contract, alleging that the Company owes certain premium payments to plaintiff under a retrospective rated policy, and seeks damages of approximately $0.6 million, which demand has since increased to approximately $1.6 million. On February 5, 2021, the Company filed an Answer to Plaintiff’s Complaint denying its claims for relief, and also filed a crossclaim against the third-party claims administrator, Gallagher Bassett Services, Inc., for claims sounding in breach of contract and negligence based upon its administration of claims arising under the policy. By order dated April 7, 2021, the Court dismissed the Company’s complaint against Gallagher Bassett without prejudice to re-filing in another forum. On May 17, 2021, the Company refiled its complaint against Gallagher Basset in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. Everest subsequently filed a complaint against Gallagher Bassett in New Jersey. Discovery proceeded in the cases, and the California Court set a trial date in the Everest case of August 8, 2023, while no trial date has been set in either of the related Illinois or New Jersey cases, which are in preliminary stages. Mediation in the matter was conducted on December 14, 2022, and the matter was kept open until further notice as the parties endeavored to settle the case. On or about June 28, 2023, the Company entered into a confidential settlement agreement with Everest National Insurance Company and Gallagher Bassett, resolving the litigation amongst the parties. see Note 8 Discounted Operations.

Sunz Litigation

On March 19, 2021, the Company was served with a Complaint filed in the Circuit Court for the 11th Judicial Circuit, Manatee County, Florida, by its former workers’ compensation insurance carrier, Sunz Insurance Solutions, LLC. The Complaint asserts claims for breach of contract, alleging that the Company owes payments for loss reserve funds totaling approximately $10 million, which represents approximately 200% of the amount of incurred and unpaid claims. The Company denies the plaintiff’s allegations and is defending the lawsuit vigorously. On May 12, 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, and Sunz filed an amended complaint in response. Discovery is proceeding in the matter and no trial date has been set. On June 21, 2022, the Court granted Plaintiff’s partial motion for summary judgment, holding that Defendant is liable under the contract, but further finding that the number of damages, if any, to which Plaintiff is entitled should be determined at trial. We believe that partial summary judgment was improvidently granted, and therefore appealed the Court’s Order by filing a petition for writ of certiorari with the Court of Appeal, which appeal is now pending. On or about November 14, 2022, a court granted Sunz’ motion for summary judgment on a contractual issue—holding that the Company waived claims regarding Sunz’ management of claims to the extent that the Company did not complain about such management within 6 months of the alleged mismanagement of the claims. This ruling may limit the scope of the Company’s counterclaim. Trial in the case has been set for February 2024. The parties have agreed to a settlement for $3,500,000 to be paid as follows: $350,000 cash payment on or before March 1, 2024 and $75,000 per month payments until the balance of is paid in full. There is a 15% discount to be applied to a full balance payment if paid before the final due payment. There is a default provision if the payment if the Company does not pay according to the terms of the settlement agreement and the default payment can go up to $7.8 million. The parties have agreed to stay all litigation in Florida and dismiss all California litigation and a Stipulated Judgment will be held by Sunz, unfiled, until the amount is paid in full. As of November 30. 2023 the liability owed of $7.8 million to Sunz is recorded in accounts payable and other liabilities. As of August 31, 2023, the Company recorded $5.6 million in accrued workers compensation cost discounted operations liabilities.

Vensure Litigation

On September 7, 2021, Shiftable HR Acquisition, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Vensure, filed a complaint against the Company in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware asserting claims arising from the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) governing the Vensure Asset Sale described above. The APA provided for Vensure to purchase, through its wholly owned subsidiary, certain of the Company’s assets for total consideration of $19 million in cash, with $9.5 million to be paid at closing, and the remainder to be paid in 48 equal monthly installments (the “Installment Sum”). The Installment Sum was subject to certain adjustments to account for various post-closing payments made by the parties, and the APA provided for a procedure to determine the final amount of the Installment Sum.

In early September 2021, Vensure filed suit against the Company in Delaware Chancery Court for breach of contract and declaratory judgment, seeking unspecified damages. The Company vigorously disputed and denied each of Vensure’s claims. The case is now settled for $2.5 million, and the Company received the funds on November 22, 2023. This resolves all claims and the case was dismissed.

Courvoisier Centre Litigation

On August 24, 2022, the landlord of our former headquarters offices, Courvoisier Centre, LLC, filed a complaint against the Company in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court (Miami-Dade County, Florida) alleging breach of the lease. The Company vacated the offices and ceased payments under the lease in July of 2022, after repeatedly complaining to the landlord regarding the impact of its extensive renovations of the campus and building in which the Company's offices were situated, citing substantial impairments to the Company's ability to conduct business as well as concerns regarding the health and well-being of the Company’s employees and guests, and the landlord’s inability and refusal to provide any adequate relief. On or about October 10, 2022, the Company filed our answer to the complaint and the Company's counterclaim. The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit and seek recovery for its costs of relocation. Mediation is scheduled for January 31, 2024. The Company has accrued for this liability as of November 30, 2023 and August 31, 2023, respectively.

Certified Tire Litigation

On June 29, 2020, the Company was served with a complaint filed by its former client, Certified Tire, in the Superior Court of the State of California, Orange County, naming the Company, two of its officers, and one of its former subsidiaries as defendants. The Complaint asserts multiple causes of action, all of which stem from the former client’s claim that the Company is obligated to reimburse it for sums it paid in settlement of a separate lawsuit brought by one of its employees pursuant to Private Attorney General Act or PAGA. This underlying lawsuit alleged the Company's former client was responsible for multiple violations of the California Labor Code. The Company and the officers named as defendants deny the former client’s allegations, and the Company is defending the lawsuit vigorously based primarily on the Company's belief that the alleged violations that gave rise to the underlying lawsuit were the responsibility of Certified Tire and not the Company. Substantial discovery has taken place; trial was set for September 5, 2023, but was moved to January 15-26, 2024. The Company’s dispositive motion for summary judgment was denied by the court because of its determination that factual disputes exist.

In Re John Stephen Holmes Bankruptcy Litigation

On November 8, 2022, the Chapter 7 trustee of the bankruptcy estate of John Stephen Holmes filed an action against the Company, asserting that the cancellation by the Company of Mr. Holes' 491,250 preferred options on October 22, 2021, violated the automatic stay applicable to Mr. Holmes' Chapter 7 proceedings. After the Company filed a motion to dismiss the trustee's complaint, the trustee endeavored to exercise an option 520,833 preferred shares) that had been issued in the early stages of the Company but that was later superseded by a modified option that did not provide for convertibility of the preferred shares to common stock and which modified option was in effect at the time that Mr. Holmes filed for bankruptcy. The trustee insists that it has a right to exercise the option for 520,833 preferred shares series A and convert the shares to common stock, notwithstanding (a) the fact that the preferred shares were not convertible to common stock at the time Mr. Holmes filed his bankruptcy petition, (b) the lapse of more than 3 years' time during which the trustee failed to take any action in relation to the option, (c) the connection of the option to Mr. Holmes, who now competes with and is believed to have taken clients from the Company, (d) the intervening 1-for-100 reverse stock split and extensive corporate governance actions and (e) the negative impact that the issuance of up to 520,833 shares would have on the Company and its shareholders. Were the trustee to be successful in its claim, the Company would be obligated to issue up to 520,833 restricted shares of the Company's common stock to the trustee, which issuance would materially dilute the share ownership of the existing shareholders and could cause a material decline in the price per share of the Company's common stock. The Company has asserted a number of defenses and intends to vigorously defend itself against the claim. Another mediation in this case was set for December 8^th, 2023. The parties have engaged in mediation and are continuing their settlement discussions. The trustee has also named the Directors in a new amended complaint; the E&O carrier responded with the assignment of counsel; a 2nd mediation was held on 12/8/2023, and the parties have agreed to a settlement of $550,000 in stock ($500,000 if paid off early) but the final Agreement has not been received to be signed. This is included accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of November 30, 2023 and August 31, 2023, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Employee Retention Tax Credit (“ERTCs”) Claims

The Company has filed various ERTCs claims with the IRS on behalf of its clients that have otherwise failed to obtain the related benefits afforded to them pursuant to the filing of Form 7200—the time for the filing of which has expired. To date, the Company has received ERTCs amounting to $2.0 million. In addition, the Company anticipates filing additional ERTCs claims as clients continue to request that the Company complete the submission thereof to the IRS. Because of the Company’s currently existing payroll tax liability, the Company presently receives ERTCs from the IRS in the form of a credit to the Company’s outstanding payroll tax liability. The Company is not presently able to remit the ERTCs to its clients and plans to offer its clients restricted shares of the Company’s common stock in payment of the ERTCs applicable to such clients. If a client rejects the payment of its respective ERTCs in the form of the restricted shares of the Company’s common stock as proposed by ShiftPixy, such client may seek to enforce its rights to recover its ERTCs by filing lawsuits against the Company.

Capistrano Catering, Inc. v. ShiftPixy, Inc.

On June 13, 2022, a Complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, Orange County, Case No. 30-2022-01264583, by its former client, Capistrano Catering, Inc., asserting claims for specific performance, breach of contract, and breach of the covenant of good faith. Plaintiff’s complaint alleges that we violated our client services agreement by not applying for an employee retention tax credit (“ERTC”) on behalf of Capistrano Catering pursuant to Section 3134 of the Internal Revenue Code and seeks damages of “at least $0.5 million plus prejudgment interest thereon at the legal rate.” The Company initially maintained that it has no legal basis to apply for the ERTC on behalf of Plaintiff, and that the claim is therefore without merit. However, the Company has changed its position, based on its understanding of applicable law and is now actively offering to file for the credit on the client’s behalf. The parties have entered into a stipulation providing for the submission to the IRS by the Company of ERTC claims on behalf of Capistrano Catering and remittance to Capistrano Catering of any credit amounts received from the IRS in response thereto by the Company. The IRS has announced a suspension of accepting further ERTC claims until 2024, so the Company is unable to affect the subject submission until permitted by the IRS. The Court has set a status conference for February 15, 2024, to assess the status of the Company’s filing of ERTC claims on behalf of Capistrano Catering. The Company intends to remit to Capistrano Catering the full amount of any credits received from the IRS, although the Company may request a reasonable fee for its processing services. The Company has offered to issue to plaintiff shares of ShiftPixy’s stock in payment of the ERTC in the event that ShiftPixy receives the credit from the IRS and is unable at such time to forward the payment to plaintiff, provided, however, Capistrano Catering has not indicated whether it will accept the offer of shares, and it may insist on receiving cash in such event.

Foundry ASVRF Sawgrass, LLC v. ShiftPixy, Inc.

On or around October 16, 2023, the company received a variety of legal proceedings documents as filed in the County Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida, as case No. COWE-23-003124, arising out of the Company’s abandonment of a lease of premises at Suite 650, 13450 W. Sunrise Blvd., Sunrise, Florida 33323. Most of the Company’s $0.3 million security deposit has been applied to the cost of unpaid improvements and rent past due for the months of June, July, August and September of 2023 (as well as unreplenished security deposit amounts for prior months). Rent and operating costs per month were approximately $0.1 million. The lease term continues until December 31, 2028. The Landlord has sued for eviction, replenishment of the security deposit and damages for future payments under the lease. Although the plaintiff will claim damages equal to the full value of the lease, the Company has defenses in the nature of the plaintiff’s duty to mitigate damages by securing one or more replacement tenants. The parties are anticipated to engage in mediation wherein the parties are expected to settle plaintiff’s claims. The Company has recorded the value the value of its lease obligation. Given the early stage of the matter, it is too early to assess the anticipated amount to which the plaintiff will be entitled; however, the plaintiff will likely be entitled to damages approximately equal to the amount of the monthly lease payment due times the number of months it would reasonably take the plaintiff to secure one or more replacement tenants, plus costs associated with the preparation of the premises for such new tenant(s), plus costs associated with the brokerage fee associated with securing the new tenant. The Parties are in active negations to settle this claim.

Golden West Wings LLC v. ShiftPixy, Inc.

On September 21, 2022, another of ShiftPixy’s clients, including a number of affiliates, filed suit in U.S. District Court, Southern District of California (San Diego), Case No. 822CV1834ADS, asserting claims for specific performance, breach of contract, and breach of the covenant of good faith. Plaintiff’s complaint alleges that the Company violated its client services agreement by not applying for an employee retention tax credit ERTC on behalf of client pursuant to Section 3134 of the Internal Revenue Code and seeks damages of at least $2.3 million plus prejudgment interest thereon at the legal rate. The Company was served with the complaint and summons in this matter on October 21, 2022, and the Company has filed a motion to dismiss. Plaintiffs amended their complaint to allege a claim of fraud against the CEO, Scott Absher. The Company initially maintained that it has no legal basis to apply for the ERTC on behalf of Plaintiff, and that the claim is therefore without merit. However, the Company changed its position, based on its understanding of applicable law and filed the ERTC claims on behalf of the client in July of 2023, and intends to remit to the client the full amount of the credit if and as received from the IRS. Golden West Wings voluntarily dismissed their entire complaint against all Parties on November 10, 2023.

The landlord has demanded approximately $1.2 million for the balance of payments due under the lease, including miscellaneous expenses as offset by security deposit funds. While the landlord has not filed suit, it is anticipated that the landlord may file suit within the next few months. In the event the landlord does file suit, the Company will assert rights of offset as a consequence of the landlord’s failure to mitigate its damages. Given the early stage of the matter, it is too early to assess the anticipated amount to which the landlord will be entitled; however, the landlord will likely be entitled to damages approximately equal to the amount of the monthly lease payment due times the number of months it would reasonably take the landlord to secure one or more replacement tenants, plus costs associated with the preparation of the premises for such new tenant(s), plus costs associated with the brokerage fee associated with securing the new tenant. It is anticipated that the parties will negotiate and endeavor to settle the claims. The Company has accrued the lease liability and the amount included in long-term operating lease as of November 30, 2023 and August 31, 2023 was $0.8 million and $0.8 million and the short-term portion included in accounts payable and other liabilities as of November 30, 2023 and August 31, 2023 was $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Robert Angueira, as US Chapter 7 Trustee v. Shiftpixy, Inc, Shiftpixy Investments,

On December 14, 2023, the Officers and Directors received notice of an Adversarial proceeding in a bankruptcy case, captioned Robert Angueira, as US Chapter 7 Trustee v. Shiftpixy, Inc, Shiftpixy Investments, Inc et al. The case is related to Industrial Human Capital, “IHC”, a company that was an attempted SPAC in 2022, the Company was unable to finish the listing requirements and $117.6 million was returned to the investors on December 1, 2022. Because some creditors were unpaid after the IHC was closed due to insolvency, some IHC creditors filed an involuntary bankruptcy in the Southern District of Florida.

The Company was owed a substantial sum of money related to IHC SPAC’s sponsorship and transferred $600,000 to Shiftpixy from IHC in partial repayment of that money. The Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Trustee asserted a claim against that transfer and the Company is working to make arrangements for payment to the Trustee.

In relation to the recent filing by the Chapter 7 Trustee, the Trustee asserts, amongst other things, that some Officers and Directors of ShiftPixy acted inappropriately in transferring those funds back to the investors in IHC and subsequent to the filing of the involuntary bankruptcy. These claims forced the Company to put ShiftPixy’s director and officer carrier on notice and the Company is waiting for their decision on the matter(s).

The Chapter 7 Trustee claims to be entitled to the $117 million dollars from the investors, shareholders, officers, and directors and Shiftpixy, Inc, for a bankruptcy estate with claims totaling $1.8 million ($282,000 of which are claims by the Company). Given the early stage of the litigation, it is too early to assess whether an unfavorable outcome for the Company is either probable or remote. The Company recorded in accounts payable and other liabilities, $0.6 million and $0.6 million as of November 30, 2023 and August 31, 2023, respectively.

Other Matters

Washington Dept of Rev v. ShiftPixy Staffing, Inc.

On or about April 25, 2023, the State of Washington Dept. of Rev. issued a tax warrant against the a subsidiary of the Company claiming that (a) its prior communications were unanswered, and (b) asserting that the Company owes $0.7 million in Business & Occupation (“B&O”) Taxes and interest for periods from June 2018 to December 2021. The state essentially claims that such a subsidiary owes B&O Taxes as a consequence of its having conducted staffing services in Washington. The Company has responded, indicating that the subject services provided were actually in the nature of professional employer organization or PEO services (as defined under applicable law) and not staffing services (as defined under applicable law) and that the subsidiary’s tax obligation, if any, pursuant to the state’s own Excise Tax Advisory ETA 3192.2014,would be a small fraction of the amount claimed by the state. The Company further argued that the assessment is improperly made such subsidiary because that entity did not even exist until January of 2021, and it did not start billing a client in Washington until calendar year 2022. The state reviewed documentation submitted by the Company in support of its position and issued a modified tax adjustment, asserting that the sum of $0.3 million is due for the period June 2018 to December 20020. Additionally, Washington State assessed another subsidiary of ShiftPixy approximately $0.5 million for excise tax. The Company filed a request for an administrative hearing on both matters. The Company was informed that the amount due must be paid prior to any appeal. The Company has recorded in accounts payable and other liabilities, $0.8 million and $0.2 million as of November 30, 2023 and August 31, 2023, respectively on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On August 2, 2023, ShiftPixy received a letter (the “August 2, 2023 NASDAQ Letter”) from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of NASDAQ, which notifies the Company that, in view of the recent resignation of an independent director who was a member of the Company’s audit committee, the Company does not presently comply with NASDAQ’s Listing Rule 5605, which requires that a majority of the Company’s board of directors be comprised of independent directors, and that the Company has an audit committee comprised of at least three independent directors, one of which “has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or any other comparable experience or background which results in the individual’s financial sophistication, including being or having been a chief executive officer, chief financial officer or other senior officer with financial oversight responsibilities. On January 16, 2024, the Company added an independent director to the audit committee.

Note 12: Subsequent Events

There is a 15% discount to be applied to a full balance payment if paid before the final due payment. There is a default provision if the payment if the Company does not pay according to the terms of the settlement agreement and the default payment can go up to $7.8 million. The parties have agreed to stay all litigation in Florida and dismiss all California litigation and a Stipulated Judgment will be held by Sunz, unfiled, until the amount is paid in full. As of November 30. 2023 the liability owed of $7.8 million to Sunz is recorded in accounts payable and other liabilities. and is recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Initially, our core business targeted the restaurant and hospitality sectors, industries known for their high turnover rates and part-time, flexible employment structures. However, recognizing the evolving market demands and opportunities, we have strategically shifted towards light industrial staffing solutions. This pivot aligns with our goal to broaden our market reach and address the substantial needs of warehouses, manufacturing units, logistics, and similar sectors experiencing rapid growth and increasing reliance on flexible staffing solutions. This shift also brings our business into better margin engagements with large national clients.

We earn our income through the administrative or processing fees we receive as a percentage of a client's gross payroll. These fees vary depending on the level and complexity of services provided, ranging from essential payroll processing to an extensive suite of HRIS technology and staffing solutions. Our commitment is to provide adaptable, scalable, and cost-effective human capital solutions that align with the unique needs and goals of our clients.

Corporate Development: Technology-driven Acquisition Strategy

After unwinding the SPAC sponsorship of AXH in November 2022, our corporate development strategy pivoted to a direct acquisition model with acquisition activities re-focused on human capital consolidation opportunities. To capitalize on robust market relationships with staffing firm operators, our acquisition team began executing a roll-up of staffing companies with the end goal of creating a national footprint that could leverage our best-in-class technology as a consolidation point and value creator. This technology-driven acquisition strategy will equip strategic acquisition targets with proprietary systems and a best-in-market staffing service delivery platform to deliver high revenue growth, margin improvement, and lower SG&A costs. By delivering real-time human capital business intelligence to staffing buyers and creating real-time connections between flex workers and un-filled jobs, this strategy will solve our clients’ contingent workforce challenges and create valuable opportunities for our shareholders.

After curating over several potential acquisition targets across various staffing verticals, the field was narrowed to a prospective initial business combination of firms with common traits: have developed well-entrenched leading market positions over a substantive operating history, are currently servicing the fastest growing markets and sectors with minimal overlap, have built a diversified client base via direct sales with negligible concentration issues, have draft unaudited financials showing performance and high growth, and bring to the table a meaningful volume of clients served and worksite employees on active assignment. Acquisition targets currently under exclusive letters of intent represent exponential growth in our current recurring revenue, significant gross profit improvement, margin expansion opportunities, a blue-chip client base, cyclical tailwinds, and a tenured sales and operational staff excited and ready to execute our rapid growth plan for 2024. Execution of this acquisition strategy forges a national footprint with worksite employees or WSEs and clients in all 50 states serviced from 80 offices nationwide.

Operating expenses increased $2.9 million from $5.6 million for the three months November 30, 2022 to $8.5 million. For the three months ended November 30, 2023. The components of operating expenses change for such periods are as follows:

Salaries, wages and payroll taxes decreased $0.1 million from $3.0 million for the three months November 30, 2022 to $2.9 million for the three months ended November 30, 2023. This category includes salaries, benefits, payroll taxes including penalties and interest expense calculated based upon the outstanding obligations to the Internal Revenue Services, state and local authorities. Salaries, benefits and payroll taxes decreased $0.9 million due to the reduction in employees for the three months ended November 30, 2023 compared to November 30, 2022. For the three months ended November 30, 2023 compared to November 30, 2022, penalties and interest expense increased by $0.7 million. The amount owed to the IRS, states and local authority as of November 30, 2022 was $15.5 million as compared to $23.7 million as of November 30, 2023. The Company is expected to record additional penalties from its outstanding payroll obligations to the IRS, states and local authorities.

Professional fees primarily consist of legal fees, accounting and public company costs, board fees, and consulting fees. Professional fees decreased by $0.4 million, from $1.2 million for the three months ended November 30, 2022 to $0.8 million for the three months ended November 30, 2023. The decrease is primarily related to $0.3 million for ongoing legal costs litigation, a decrease of $0.2 million related consulting fees.

General and administrative expenses consist of office rent and related overhead, software licenses, insurance, stock- based compensation, insurance. marketing, travel and entertainment, and other general business expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $3.4 million from $1.2 million for the three months ended November 30, 2022 to $4.6 million for the three months ended November 30, 2023. The increase primarily relates to an accrual that was recorded for the Sunz settlement of $2.1 million and other legal settlements of $0.2 million. The Company had previously recorded $5.6 million. The Sunz settlement was for $3.5 million with an upfront payment of $0.4 million and monthly payment of $0.1 million until the balance is paid.

Other income (loss) for the three months ended November 30, 2023 was $2.5 million which was from a legal settlement from Venture of $2.5 million.

Discontinued operations were not recorded for the three months ended November 30, 2023 due to the Everest litigation settlement in June 2023 and Sunz settlement in January 2024.

Net loss for the three months ended November 30, 2023 was $5.5 million as compared to $5.4 million for the three months ended November 30, 2022, a decrease of $0.1million based upon the factors above.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND GOING CONCERN (See notes to condensed consolidated financial statements)

As of November 30, 2023, the Company had cash of $1.5 million and a working capital deficit of $54.4 million. During the three months ended November 30, 2023, the Company used approximately $0.6 million of cash from operations and incurred recurring losses, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $231.9 million. As of November 30, 2023, the Company is delinquent with respect to remitting payroll tax payments to the IRS, states, and local jurisdictions. The Company has retained tax counsel and has been in near constant communication with the IRS regarding processing its Employee Retention Tax Credits (“ERTCs”). As of September 14, 2023, the IRS has a moratorium on processing new ERTC claims and many of the Company’s clients are seeking refunds. The Company has filed recent ETRC claims for its clients and has not received any notifications of acceptance from the IRS. Some clients have filed suits against the Company, demanding that the Company taken action to file for additional ERTCs for certain tax periods.

ShiftPixy has received notices from the IRS of $11.9 million as of August 31, 2023 and notices relating to liens from the IRS claiming it owes approximately $9.0 million for unpaid payroll tax liabilities, including penalties and interest. The balances reported on such notices do not represent the full payroll tax liability of ShiftPixy as of November 30, 2023 and August 31, 2023, respectively. ShiftPixy expects its payroll tax liabilities, penalties and interest to increase in the future. Moreover, the IRS has threatened to take enforced collection against ShiftPixy, Inc. and ShiftPixy, potentially in addition to other subsidiaries. ShiftPixy has taken steps to preserve so-called “collection due process rights” and present collection alternatives to the proposed enforced collection actions(s). Specifically:

Table of Contents

	·	The Company had a collection due process hearing with the IRS Independent Office of Appeals on October 24, 2023. On October 24 and November 6, 2023, ShiftPixy requested that the IRS Independent Office of Appeals (“Appeals”), among other things, abate additions to tax and related interest for the failure to make required deposits and the failure to timely pay required tax. That request is pending before Appeals; and

		On October 27, 2023, the IRS issued to the Company a Letter 1058, Final Notice, Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to a Hearing, with respect to the Company’s (a) Form 941 liabilities for the tax periods ending March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2022, and (b) Form 940 liabilities for the tax period ending December 31, 2022 (such liabilities, “That Are Subject to Enforced Collection”). On November 26, 2023 4 ShiftPixy timely filed a Form 12153, Request for a Collection Due Process or Equivalent Hearing, with respect to the Company Liability That Are Subject to Enforced Collection. That Form 12153 requested, among other things, an abatement of additions to tax and related interest for the failure to make required deposits and the failure to timely pay required tax that are included within ShiftPixy That Are Subject to Enforced Collection. That request is pending before the IRS Independent Office of Appeals.

On December 12, 2023, the Company received a lien from the IRS. The IRS can levy the Company’s bank accounts. On January 12, 2024, the Company filed Form 12153 Request for a Collection Due Process or Equivalent Hearing, with respect to the Company Liability That Are Subject to Enforced Collection.

Notwithstanding the above-described requests for a collection due process hearing, should the IRS determine the collectability of tax be in jeopardy, the IRS can, with limited notice, levy the Company’s bank accounts and subject it to enforced collection if ShiftPixy cannot obtain a resolution of the payroll tax issues, the United States Tax Court can review Appeals’ determination. There is no assurance that the IRS will abate penalties and interest currently assessed against ShiftPixy. If ShiftPixy cannot get abated the outstanding penalties, and interest or raise the necessary capital to fund its payroll tax obligations and collection alternative, it may cause ShiftPixy to file for bankruptcy protection in the near future.

The Company has taken aggressive steps to reduce its overhead expenses. The Company has plans and expectations for the next twelve months include raising additional capital which may help fund the Company’s operations and strengthening the Company’s sales force strategy by focusing on staffing services as the key driver towards its success. In addition, the Company is planning on acquisitions funded by stock and debt to attempt to generate future cash flows. There is no assurance that the Company can execute on obtaining additional equity or debt on the terms that the Company is seeking. In addition, there is no assurance that the Company can execute on close and be successful on its business plan for acquisitions. In addition, the Company needs to take additional steps to pay down its payroll taxes with the IRS, states and local tax authorities. If not, penalties and interest will continue to increase There is a likelihood that the Company may file for bankruptcy in the near future.

The Company expects to engage in additional sales register securities during Fiscal 2024, either through registered offerings or private placements, the proceeds of which the Company intends to use to fund its operations. If these sources do not provide the capital necessary to fund the Company’s operations during the next twelve months, it may need to curtail certain aspects of its operations or expansion activities, consider the sale of additional assets, or consider other means of financing. The Company is also seeking acquisition targets for growth, a recurring revenue base, significant gross profit conversion, margin expansion opportunities, a light industrial sector focus, a blue-chip client base, cyclical tailwinds, and a tenured management team willing and able to execute a comprehensive integration plan. The Company can give no assurance that it will be successful in implementing its business plan and obtaining financing on advantageous terms, or that any such additional financing will be available. If the Company is not successful in obtaining the necessary financing, we do not currently have the cash resources to meet our operating commitments for the next twelve months from the issuance of the financial statements. The accompanying unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments for this uncertainty.

Under the existing accounting guidance, management must evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. This evaluation initially does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt is determined to exist, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management’s plans; however, is only considered if both (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, may mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Therefore, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern from twelve months the date of the issuance of issuance of the financial statements.

Historically, the Company’s principal source of financing has come through the sale of the Company’s common stock, including in certain instances, warrants and the issuance of convertible notes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A critical accounting policy and related estimates are both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Refer to the Company’s Annual Report for a complete listing of the critical accounting estimates. Below summarizes a few significant accounting policies for your reference.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and all applicable U.S. GAAP accounting standards effective as of November 30, 2023 have been taken into consideration in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements require estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and related disclosures. Some of those estimates are subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates. The following accounting policies and estimates have been highlighted as significant because changes to certain judgments and assumptions inherent in these policies could affect our condensed consolidated financial statements:

Table of Contents

	·	Assumption as a going concern; management assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of all liabilities in the normal course of business;

	·	Liability for legal contingencies;

	·	Deferred income taxes and related valuation allowance;

	·	Payroll taxes and associated penalties and interest.

Material Commitments

We do not have any contractual obligations for ongoing capital expenditures at this time. We do, however, purchase equipment and software necessary to conduct our operations on an as needed basis.

Contingencies

For a discussion of contingencies, see Note 11, Contingencies, to the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in “Part I, Item 1. Condensed consolidated financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report.

New and Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

For a listing of our new and recently adopted accounting standards, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in “Part I, Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, the Company recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of November 30, 2023, as defined in Rule 13a -15(e) and Rule 15d -15(e) under the Exchange Act. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, at November 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting related to the lack of adequate accounting and finance personnel, penalties and interest on outstanding payroll taxes, financial reporting and information technology, as further discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2023, and which the Company determined continued to exist as of November 30, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended November 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The Company is a party to various legal actions, in addition to the contingencies noted in item 11, above, arising in the ordinary course of business which, in the opinion of the Company, are not material in that management either expects that the Company will be successful on the merits of the pending cases or that any liabilities resulting from such cases will be immaterial or substantially covered by insurance. While it is impossible to estimate with certainty the ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to these actions, management believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities will not be material to the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company. There have been no material developments to the litigation disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and filed with the SEC on December 14, 2023, respectively, except as noted in Note 11 Contingencies to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

You should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results set forth under Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2023, as filed with the SEC on December 14, 2023, which is expressly incorporated herein by reference. There have been no material changes from the risk factors since the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2023, filed with the SEC on December 14, 2023.

Basis of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation

Use of Estimates

	·	Continuation as a going concern; management assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of all liabilities in the normal course of business
	·	Liability for legal contingencies
	·	Payroll tax and associated penalties and interest
	·	Impairment of long-lived assets

These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties to these estimates or assumptions that are difficult to measure of value.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

·	ShiftPixy has received notices of $11.9 million as of August 31, 2023 and notices relating to liens from the IRS claiming it owes approximately $9.0 million for unpaid payroll tax liabilities, including penalties and interest. The balances reported on such notices do not represent the full payroll tax liability of ShiftPixy as of November 30, 2023 and August 31, 2023, respectively. ShiftPixy expects its payroll tax liabilities, penalties and interest to increase in the future. Moreover, the IRS has threatened to take enforced collection against ShiftPixy, Inc. and ShiftPixy, potentially in addition to other subsidiaries. ShiftPixy has taken steps to preserve so-called “collection due process rights” and present collection alternatives to the proposed enforced collection actions(s). Specifically:

·	ShiftPixy had a collection due process hearing with the IRS Independent Office of Appeals on October 24, 2023. On October 24 and November 6, 2023, ShiftPixy requested that the IRS Independent Office of Appeals (“Appeals”), among other things, abate additions to tax and related interest for the failure to make required deposits and the failure to timely pay required tax. That request is pending before Appeals; and

·	On October 27, 2023, the IRS issued to ShiftPixy a Letter 1058, Final Notice, Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to a Hearing, with respect to ShiftPixy's (a) Form 941 liabilities for the tax periods ending March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2022, and (b) Form 940 liabilities for the tax period ending December 31, 2022 (such liabilities, “ShiftPixy’s Liability That Are Subject to Enforced Collection”). On November 26, 2023, ShiftPixy timely filed a Form 12153, Request for a Collection Due Process or Equivalent Hearing, with respect to ShiftPixy's Liability That Are Subject to Enforced Collection. That Form 12153 requested, among other things, an abatement of additions to tax and related interest for the failure to make required deposits and the failure to timely pay required tax that are included within ShiftPixy’s Liability That Are Subject to Enforced Collection. That request is pending before the IRS Independent Office of Appeals. .

On December 12, 2023, the Company received a lien from the IRS. The IRS can levy the Company’s bank accounts. On January 12, 2024, ShiftPixy filed Form 12153 , Request for a Collection Due Process or Equivalent Hearing, with respect to ShiftPixy's Liability That Are Subject to Enforced Collection

Historically, the Company’s principal source of financing has come through the sale of the Company’s common stock, including in certain instances, warrants and the issuance of convertible notes.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Nov. 30, 2023

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation

Use of Estimates

	·	Continuation as a going concern; management assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of all liabilities in the normal course of business
	·	Liability for legal contingencies
	·	Payroll tax and associated penalties and interest
	·	Impairment of long-lived assets

These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties to these estimates or assumptions that are difficult to measure of value.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

·	ShiftPixy has received notices of $11.9 million as of August 31, 2023 and notices relating to liens from the IRS claiming it owes approximately $9.0 million for unpaid payroll tax liabilities, including penalties and interest. The balances reported on such notices do not represent the full payroll tax liability of ShiftPixy as of November 30, 2023 and August 31, 2023, respectively. ShiftPixy expects its payroll tax liabilities, penalties and interest to increase in the future. Moreover, the IRS has threatened to take enforced collection against ShiftPixy, Inc. and ShiftPixy, potentially in addition to other subsidiaries. ShiftPixy has taken steps to preserve so-called “collection due process rights” and present collection alternatives to the proposed enforced collection actions(s). Specifically:

·	ShiftPixy had a collection due process hearing with the IRS Independent Office of Appeals on October 24, 2023. On October 24 and November 6, 2023, ShiftPixy requested that the IRS Independent Office of Appeals (“Appeals”), among other things, abate additions to tax and related interest for the failure to make required deposits and the failure to timely pay required tax. That request is pending before Appeals; and

·	On October 27, 2023, the IRS issued to ShiftPixy a Letter 1058, Final Notice, Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to a Hearing, with respect to ShiftPixy's (a) Form 941 liabilities for the tax periods ending March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2022, and (b) Form 940 liabilities for the tax period ending December 31, 2022 (such liabilities, “ShiftPixy’s Liability That Are Subject to Enforced Collection”). On November 26, 2023, ShiftPixy timely filed a Form 12153, Request for a Collection Due Process or Equivalent Hearing, with respect to ShiftPixy's Liability That Are Subject to Enforced Collection. That Form 12153 requested, among other things, an abatement of additions to tax and related interest for the failure to make required deposits and the failure to timely pay required tax that are included within ShiftPixy’s Liability That Are Subject to Enforced Collection. That request is pending before the IRS Independent Office of Appeals. .

On December 12, 2023, the Company received a lien from the IRS. The IRS can levy the Company’s bank accounts. On January 12, 2024, ShiftPixy filed Form 12153 , Request for a Collection Due Process or Equivalent Hearing, with respect to ShiftPixy's Liability That Are Subject to Enforced Collection

Historically, the Company’s principal source of financing has come through the sale of the Company’s common stock, including in certain instances, warrants and the issuance of convertible notes.

John Stephen Holmes Bankruptcy Litigation [Member]
Loss contingency, damages sought (in shares)		520,833
Description of trustee right		The trustee insists that it has a right to exercise the option for 520,833 preferred shares series A and convert the shares to common stock, notwithstanding (a) the fact that the preferred shares were not convertible to common stock at the time Mr. Holmes filed his bankruptcy petition, (b) the lapse of more than 3 years' time during which the trustee failed to take any action in relation to the option, (c) the connection of the option to Mr. Holmes, who now competes with and is believed to have taken clients from the Company, (d) the intervening 1-for-100 reverse stock split and extensive corporate governance actions and (e) the negative impact that the issuance of up to 520,833 shares would have on the Company and its shareholders. Were the trustee to be successful in its claim, the Company would be obligated to issue up to 520,833 restricted shares of the Company's common stock to the trustee, which issuance would materially dilute the share ownership of the existing shareholders and could cause a material decline in the price per share of the Company's common stock.
