NATURE OF BUSINESS
AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES

Liquidity
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis. Substantial doubt about an
entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when
conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that
it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its
obligations as they become due within one year after the date that
the financial statements are issued.
As of
August 31, 2022, the Company reported working capital of
approximately $6.5 million compared with
$4.2 million working capital
as of May 31, 2022. The Company’s Earnings Before Interest, Tax,
Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) contribution to working
capital was $5.1 million and cash
flow from operations $0.3
million during the quarter ended August 31, 2022. The Company has
adequate cash availability through the TBK Facility.
Since
its inception, the Company has experienced significant business
growth. To fund such growth, operating capital was initially
provided by third party investors through the sale of Convertible
Notes which were subsequently exchanged into convertible
securities. Preferred shares are more beneficial to the Company
because they do not require cash repayments. Due to the
antidilution provision imbedded in the certain of the convertible
securities, these provisions resulted in an embedded derivative and
the Company recorded a long-term liability. As of the quarter ended
August 31, 2022, and the year ended May 31, 2022, this liability
was $11.8 million and $12.4 million, respectively.
This liability is recorded as a long-term liability due to its
future settlement in common stock on the balance sheet and is being
adjusted to market on each of the subsequent reporting
periods.
While
we continue to execute our strategic plan, management is focused on
managing cash and monitoring our liquidity position. We have
implemented a number of initiatives to conserve our liquidity
position including activities such as increasing credit facilities,
when needed, reducing cost of debt, controlling general and
administrative expenditures and improving collection processes.
Many of the aspects of the plan involve management’s judgments and
estimates that include factors that could be beyond our control and
actual results could differ from our estimates. These and other
factors could cause the strategic plan to be unsuccessful which
could have a material adverse effect on our operating results,
financial condition, and liquidity. Use of operating cash is an
indicator that there could be a going concern issue, but based on
our evaluation of the Company’s projected cash flows and business
performance as of and subsequent to the balance sheet date,
management has concluded that the Company’s current cash and cash
availability under the TBK Facility as of August 31, 2022, would be
sufficient to fund its planned operations for at least one year
from the date these consolidated financial statements are
issued.
COVID-19
Covid-19
remains a threat and certain countries, such as China, are still
subject to restrictions related to Covid-19. While the threat level
has declined to a significant extent in the USA and globally, any
resurgence could have a material adverse effect on our business
operations, results of operations, cash flows and financial
position.
Basis of Presentation
The
condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
The
unaudited interim financial information furnished herein reflects
all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which
in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the
financial position of the Company and the results of its operations
for the periods presented. This report should be read in
conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year
ended May 31, 2022. The Company assumes that the users of the
interim financial information herein have read or have access to
the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year and
that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair
presentation may be determined in that context. The condensed
consolidated balance sheet on May 31, 2022 was derived from audited
financial statements but does not include all disclosures required
by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
Principles of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements of the Company include the
accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries stated
in U.S. dollars, the Company’s functional currency. All
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the
consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Significant
estimates inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements include determinations of the useful lives and expected
future cash flows of long-lived assets, including intangibles,
valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in business
combinations, and estimates and assumptions in valuation of debt
and equity instruments, including derivative liabilities. In
addition, the Company makes significant judgments to recognize
revenue – see policy note “Revenue Recognition”
below.
Fair Value Measurement
The
Company follows the authoritative guidance that establishes a
formal framework for measuring fair values of assets and
liabilities in the consolidated financial statements that are
already required by generally accepted accounting principles to be
measured at fair value. The guidance defines fair value as the
price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date (exit price). The transaction is based on a
hypothetical transaction in the principal or most advantageous
market considered from the perspective of the market participant
that holds the asset or owes the liability.
The
Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market
participants who are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and
able to transact would use in pricing the asset or liability,
including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the
inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily
observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. The
Company attempts to utilize valuation techniques that maximize the
use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs.
The
Company is able to classify fair value balances based on the
observability of those inputs. The guidance establishes a formal
fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair
value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1
measurements and the lowest priority to level 3 measurements, and
accordingly, Level 1 measurement should be used whenever
possible.
The
hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability
of inputs as follows:
Level
1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities or published net asset value for alternative
investments with characteristics similar to a mutual
fund.
Level
2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that
are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly.
Level
3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The
methods used may produce a fair value calculation that may not be
indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair
values. Furthermore, while management believes its valuation
methods are appropriate, the fair value of certain financial
instruments could result in a difference fair value measurement at
the reporting date. There were no changes in the Company’s
valuation methodologies from the prior year.
For
purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial
instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged
in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a
forced sale or liquidation. The carrying amounts for financial
assets and liabilities such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable - trade, contract assets, factoring reserve, other
prepaid expenses and current assets, accounts payable – trade and
other current liabilities, including contract liabilities,
convertible notes, promissory notes, all approximate fair value due
to their short-term nature as of August 31, 2022 and May 31, 2022.
The carrying amount of the long-term debt approximates fair value
because the interest rates on these instruments approximate the
interest rate on debt with similar terms available to the Company.
Lease liabilities approximate fair value based on the incremental
borrowing rate used to discount future cash flows. The Company had
Level 3 liabilities (See Derivative Liabilities note) as of August
31, 2022. On August 31, 2021, Level 3 derivative liability balances
were insignificant. There were no transfers between levels during
the reporting period.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts
receivable from revenue transactions are based on invoiced prices
which the Company expects to collect. In the normal course of
business, the Company extends credit to customers that satisfy
pre-defined credit criteria. The Company generally does not require
collateral to support customer receivables. Accounts receivable -
trade, as shown on the consolidated balance sheets, is net of
allowances when applicable. An allowance for doubtful accounts is
determined through analysis of the aging of accounts receivable at
the date of the consolidated financial statements, assessments of
collectability based on an evaluation of historic and anticipated
trends, the financial condition of the Company’s customers, and an
evaluation of the impact of economic conditions. The maximum
accounting loss from the credit risk associated with accounts
receivable is the amount of the receivable recorded, net of
allowance for doubtful accounts. As of August 31, 2022 and May 31,
2022, the Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of
approximately $2.7
million.
Concentrations
Three
major customers represented approximately
23.0% of
all accounts receivable as of August 31, 2022 and no single
customer represented more than 10.0% of total accounts receivable.
Revenue from these three major customers as a percentage of the
Company’s total revenue was
20.0% for
the three months ended August 31, 2022, and no single customer
represented more than 10.0% of total revenue.
Three
major customers represented approximately 21.0% of all accounts
receivable as of May 31, 2022 and no single customer represented
more than 10.0% of total accounts receivable. Same three customers
accounted for 32.0% of total revenue
for the three months ended August 31, 2021 with only customer A at
15.0 %, and customers
B and C were less than 10.0% each.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
On
August 30, 2021, the Company terminated its agreement with an
unrelated third party (the “Factor”) for factoring of specific
accounts receivable. The factoring under this agreement was treated
as a sale in accordance with FASB ASC 860, Transfers and
Servicing, and is accounted for as an off-balance sheet
arrangement. Proceeds from the transfers reflected the face value
of the account less a fee, which is presented in costs and
operating expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of
operations in the period the sale occurs. Net funds received are
recorded as an increase to cash and a reduction to accounts
receivable outstanding in the consolidated balance sheets. The
Company reported the cash flows attributable to the sale of
receivables to third parties and the cash receipts from collections
made on behalf of and paid to third parties, on a net basis as
trade accounts receivables in cash flows from operating activities
in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. The net
principal balance of trade accounts receivable outstanding in the
books of the factor under the factoring agreement was $31.7 million as of
May 31, 2021. On June 2, 2021 and on August 30, 2021, the Company
repurchased all of its factored trade accounts receivables from the
Factor, in the amounts of $31.6 million
and $1.4 million,
respectively, utilizing its TBK Facility.
During
the factoring agreement in place, the Company acted as the agent on
behalf of the Factor for the arrangements and had no significant
retained interests or servicing liabilities related to the accounts
receivable sold. The agreement provided the Factor with security
interests in purchased accounts until the accounts have been
repurchased by the Company or paid by the customer. In order to
mitigate credit risk related to the Company’s factoring of accounts
receivable, the Company may purchase credit insurance, from time to
time, for certain factored accounts receivable, resulting in risk
of loss being limited to the factored accounts receivable not
covered by credit insurance, which the Company does not believe to
be significant.
During
the three months ended August 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company
factored accounts receivable invoices totaling approximately
none and $4.3 million,
respectively, pursuant to the Company’s factoring agreement,
representing the face value of the invoices. The Company recognizes
factoring costs upon disbursement of funds. The Company did
not incur expenses pursuant to
the agreements for the three months ended August 31, 2022. The
Company incurred expenses totaling approximately $27,000 pursuant to the agreements
for the three months ended August 31, 2021. The Company recognizes
factoring costs upon disbursement of funds. Factoring expenses are
presented in costs and operating expenses on the consolidated
statements of operations.
Factoring
Reserve
When
an invoice is sold to Factor, the amount received from the Factor
is credited to accounts receivable and a reserve is retained, less
a fee, by Factor which is debited to “factoring reserve” on the
condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of August 31, 2022 and
May 31, 2022, the Company did not record a factoring
reserve.
Factor
Recovery
In
certain instances, the Company receives payment for a factored
reserve directly from the customer. In these cases, until the funds
are paid to the factor, the Company records the payment as “factor
recovery” which is in accrued expenses and other current
liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. As of August 31,
2022 and May 31, 2022, the Company did not record a factor
recovery.
Recourse
Liability
Company
policy is to do a collectability review of uncollected factored
receivables in conjunction with the Factor at each reporting date
and assess the need to provide for risk of potential non-collection
and resulting recourse.
Derivative Liability
On
December 10, 2021, the Company entered into an amended securities
exchange agreement with the holders of convertible notes to
exchange all Convertible Notes of the Company into shares of the
newly created Convertible Preferred Stock Series C and D. For
additional information on the exchange agreement see Note 5,
Financing Arrangements.
Similar
to the existing Convertible Preferred Stock Series A, these
preferred stocks featured anti-dilution provision that expire on a
certain date. Management has determined the anti-dilution provision
embedded in preferred stock Series A, C and D is required to be
accounted for separately from the preferred stock as a derivative
liability and recorded at fair value. Separation of the
anti-dilution option as a derivative liability is required because
its economic characteristics are considered more akin to an equity
instrument and therefore the anti-dilution option is not considered
to be clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics
of the preferred stock.
The
Company has identified and recorded derivative instruments arising
from an anti-dilution provision in the Company’s Series A, C and D
Preferred Stock. An embedded derivative liability is representing
the rights of holders of Convertible Preferred Stock Series A, C
and D to receive additional common stock of the Company upon
issuance of any additional common stock by the Company prior to
qualified financing event as defined in the agreement. Each
reporting period, the embedded derivative liability, if material,
would be adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end with
changes in fair value recorded in the “Change in fair value of
embedded derivative liability” financial statement line item of the
company’s statements of operations. During the three months ended
August 31, 2022, the Company recorded a change in fair value of
$618,948 in the condensed
consolidated statements of operations.

The
underlying value of the anti-dilution provision is calculated from
estimating the probability and value of the provision assuming a
near term financing event. For the period ended May 31, 2022, the
model used estimates the potential that the company completes a
capital raise prior to the expiration of the anti-dilution feature
and determines the value of the anti-dilution feature given these
assumptions. The model required the use of certain assumptions.
These assumptions include probability a raise is completed,
probability certain anti-dilution features are extended, estimated
raise amount, term to a raise, and an appropriate risk-free
interest rate. For the period ended August 31, 2022, due to changes
in the way antidilutive shares of Convertible Preferred Series A, C
and D would be exchanged in the near future for common stock, and
the fact that the antidilution provision of these shares was
extended through March 31, 2023, the assumptions were changed to
include probability of the financing event, estimated value of
common stock at the exchange point and estimated time to financing
event.
The

Revenue Recognition
The
Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of
the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s
customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company
expects to receive in exchange for services. The Company recognizes
revenue upon meeting each performance obligation based on the
allocated amount of the total consideration of the contract to each
specific performance obligation.
To
determine revenue recognition, the Company applies the following
five steps:
|
1. |
Identify
the contract(s) with a customer; |
|
2. |
Identify
the performance obligations in the contract; |
|
3. |
Determine
the transaction price; |
|
4. |
Allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the
contract; and |
|

Recognize
revenue as or when the performance obligation is
satisfied. |
Revenue
is recognized as follows:
|
i. |
Freight
income - export sales |
|
|
|
|
|
Freight
income from the provision of air, ocean, and land freight
forwarding services are recognized over time based on a relative
transit time basis thru the sail or departure from origin port. The
Company is the principal in these transactions and recognizes
revenue on a gross basis. |
|
|
|
|
ii. |
Freight
income - import sales |
|
|
|
|
|
Freight
income from the provision of air, ocean, and land freight
forwarding services are recognized over time based on a relative
transit time basis thru the delivery to the customer’s designated
location. The Company is the principal in these transactions and
recognizes revenue on a gross basis. |
|
|
|
|
iii. |
Customs
brokerage and other service income |
|
|
|
|
|
Customs
brokerage and other service income from the provision of other
services are recognized at the point in time the performance
obligation is met. |
The
Company’s business practices require, for accurate and meaningful
disclosure, that it recognizes revenue over time. The “over time”
policy is the period from point of origin to arrival of the
shipment at US Port of entry (or in the case when the customer
requires delivery to a designated point, the arrival at that
delivery point). This over time policy requires the Company to make
significant judgements to recognize revenue over the estimated
duration of time from port of origin to arrival at port of entry.
The point in the process when the Company meets its obligation in
the port of entry and the subsequent transfer of the goods to the
customer is when the customer has the obligation to pay, has taken
physical possession, has legal title, risk and awards (ownership)
and has accepted the goods. The Company has elected to not disclose
the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to
performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of the end of the
period as the Company’s contracts with its customers have an
expected duration of one year or less.
The
Company uses independent contractors and third-party carriers in
the performance of its transportation services. The Company
evaluates who controls the transportation services to determine
whether its performance obligation is to transfer services to the
customer or to arrange for services to be provided by another
party. The Company determined it acts as the principal for its
transportation services performance obligation since it is in
control of establishing the prices for the specified services,
managing all aspects of the shipments process and assuming the risk
of loss for delivery and collection.
Revenue
billed prior to realization is recorded as contract liabilities on
the consolidated balance sheets and contract costs incurred prior
to revenue recognition are recorded as contract assets on the
consolidated balance sheets.
Contract
Assets
Contract
assets represent amounts for which the Company has the right to
consideration for the services provided while a shipment is still
in-transit but for which it has not yet completed the performance
obligation and has not yet invoiced the customer. Upon completion
of the performance obligations, which can vary in duration based
upon the method of transport and billing the customer, these
amounts become classified within accounts receivable.
Contract
Liabilities
Contract
liabilities represent the amount of obligation to transfer goods or
services to a customer for which consideration has been
received.

Segment Reporting
Based
on the guidance provided by ASC Topic 280, Segment
Reporting, management has determined that the Company currently
operates in one geographical segment and consists of a single
reporting unit given the similarities in economic characteristics
between its operations and the common nature of its products,
services and customers.
Earnings per Share
The
Company adopted ASC 260, Earnings per share, guidance from
the inception. Earnings per share (“EPS”) is the amount of earnings
attributable to each share of common stock. For convenience, the
term is used to refer to either earnings or loss per share. Basic
EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders
(the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding, including warrants exercisable for less than a penny,
(the denominator) during the period. Income available to common
stockholders shall be computed by deducting both the dividends
declared in the period on preferred stock (whether or not paid) and
the dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred
stock (whether or not earned) from income from continuing
operations (if that amount appears in the consolidated statements
of operations) and also from net income. The computation of diluted
EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the
denominator is increased to include the number of additional common
shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential
common shares had been issued during the period to reflect the
potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable
through contingent shares issuance arrangement, stock options or
warrants.
The
following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and
denominator used in computing basic and diluted net income
attributable to common stockholders per common share.

Leases
The Company recognizes a right of use (“ROU”) asset and liability
in the consolidated balance sheet primarily related to its
operating leases of office space, warehouse space and equipment.
Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an
underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities
represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising
from the lease. All ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized
at the commencement date at the present value of lease payments
over the lease term. ROU assets are adjusted for lease incentives
and initial direct costs. The lease term includes renewal options
exercisable at the Company’s sole discretion when the Company is
reasonably certain to exercise that option. As the Company’s leases
generally do not have an implicit rate, the Company uses an
estimated incremental borrowing rate based on borrowing rates
available to them at the commencement date to determine the present
value. Certain of our leases include variable payments, which may
vary based upon changes in facts or circumstances after the start
of the lease. The Company excludes variable payments from ROU
assets and lease liabilities to the extent not considered fixed,
and instead expenses variable payments as incurred. Lease expense
is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is
included in rent and occupancy expenses in the consolidated
statements of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — “Debt with
Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and
Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40):
Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s
Own Equity”. This ASU amends the guidance on convertible
instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an
entity’s own equity, and also improves and amends the related EPS
guidance for both Subtopics. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public
business entities, other than smaller reporting companies as
defined by the SEC starting January 1, 2022. For all other
entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those
fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently
evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its
consolidated financial statements.

COMMITMENTS AND
CONTINGENCIES
Pending acquisitions
On
April 28, 2022, Unique Logistics International, Inc. (the
“Company”) entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”), by and between the Company and Unique Logistics
Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (the “Seller”), whereby
the Company acquired from the Seller all of Seller’s share capital
(the “Purchased Shares”) in nine (9) of Seller’s subsidiaries
(collectively the “Subsidiaries”) as listed in Schedule I of the
Purchase Agreement. As consideration for the Purchased Shares, the
Company agreed to (i) pay the Seller $21,000,000 (the “Cash
Consideration”); and (ii) issue to the Seller a $1,000,000 promissory
note (the “Note” and, together with the Cash Consideration, the
“Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price is subject to certain
adjustments set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
The
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement shall be
contingent upon and subject to successful Financing and shell be
completed prior to December 31, 2022. If the Company is unable to
obtain the Financing, the Company may provide written notice to
Seller stating that the Company has been unable to obtain the
Financing and notify Seller that the Company has elected to either
(i) waive the condition of the Financing, in which event the
Purchase Agreement will continue as if the Financing had been
obtained or (ii) terminate the Purchase Agreement.
Litigation
From
time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation
relating to claims arising in the ordinary course of the business.
There are no claims or actions pending or threatened against the
Company that, if adversely determined, would in the Company’s
management’s judgment have a material adverse effect on the
Company.
Leases
The
Company leases office space, warehouse facilities and equipment
under non-cancellable lease agreements expiring on various dates
through October 2028. Office leases contain provisions for future
rent increases. The Company adopted ASC 842 from inception,
requiring the Company to recognize an asset and liability on the
consolidated balance sheets for lease arrangements with terms
longer than 12 months. The Company has elected the practical
expedient to not apply the recognition requirement to leases with a
term of less than one year (short term leases). The Company uses
its incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments to
present value. The incremental borrowing rate is based on the
estimated interest rate the Company could obtain for borrowing over
a similar term of the lease at commencement date. Rental
escalations, renewal options and termination options, when
applicable, have been factored into the Company’s determination of
lease payments when appropriate. The Company does not separate
lease and non-lease components of contracts. Variable payments
related to pass-through costs for maintenance, taxes and insurance
or adjustments based on an index such as Consumer Price Index are
not included in the measurement of the lease liability or asset and
are expensed as incurred.

The
Company has no U.S. federal net operating loss carryovers (NOLs) as
of August 31 and May 31, 2022, available to offset taxable income.
The Company had California State Net Operating Loss carry over of
$0.3
million as of August 31 and May 31, 2022, available to offset
future taxable income.
In
assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management
considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or
all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate
realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future
generation for taxable income during the periods in which temporary
differences representing net future deductible amounts become
deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred
tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning
strategies in making this assessment. For the three months ended
August 31, 2022 and 2021, there was no valuation allowance
necessary.
The
Company evaluated the provisions of ASC 740 related to the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an
enterprise’s financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a
comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, present,
and disclose uncertain positions that the Company has taken or
expects to take in its tax return. For those benefits to be
recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be
sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences
between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return
and the net benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the
interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A
liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carry
forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for unrecognized
tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future
obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not
recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC
740.
If
applicable, interest costs related to the unrecognized tax benefits
are required to be calculated and would be classified as “Other
expenses – Interest” in the statement of operations. Penalties
would be recognized as a component of “General and
administrative.”
No
interest or penalties on unpaid tax were recorded during the three
months ended August 31, 2022 and no liability for unrecognized tax
benefits was required to be reported. The Company does not expect
any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the
next year.
The
Company’s deferred tax assets (liabilities) consisted of the
effects of temporary differences attributable to the

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Note
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes a number of
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
(the “Exchange Act”) that reflect management’s current views with
respect to future events and financial performance.
These
statements are based upon beliefs of, and information currently
available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and
assumptions made by the Company’s management. Readers are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements,
which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof.
When used herein, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,”
“expect,” “forecast,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” “predict,”
“project,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,”
“should,” “continue” or the negative of these terms and similar
expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s
management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements
reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future
events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and
other factors, including the risks relating to the Company’s
business, industry, and the Company’s operations and results of
operations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties
materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated,
believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
Although
the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot
guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or
achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the
securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend
to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these
statements to actual results.
Our
financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These
accounting principles require us to make certain estimates,
judgements and assumptions. We believe that the estimates,
judgements and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based
upon information available to us at the time that these estimates,
judgements and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgements
and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial
statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the periods presented. Our condensed consolidated financial
statements would be affected to the extent there are material
differences between these estimates and actual results. The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
appearing elsewhere in this report. The forward-looking statements
made in this report are based only on events or information as of
the date on which the statements are made in this report. Except as
required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise
publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which
the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events. You should read this report and the documents
we refer to in this report and have filed as exhibits to this
report completely and with the understanding that our actual future
results may be materially different from what we expect. These
risks include, by way of example and without limitation:
●
The company provides services to customers engaged in
international commerce. Everything that affects international trade
has the potential to expand or contract our primary market and
adversely impact our operating results
●·We
depend on operators of aircrafts, ships, trucks, ports and
airports
●
We derive a significant portion of our total revenues and net
revenues from our largest customers
●
Due to our dependence on a limited number of customers, we are
subject to a concentration of credit risk
●
Our earnings may be affected by seasonal changes in the
transportation industry
●
Our business is affected by ever increasing regulations from a
number of sources in the United States and in foreign locations in
which we operate
●
As a corporation transacting business in multiple countries, we
are subject to formal or informal investigations from governmental
authorities or others in the countries in which we do
business
●
The global economy and capital and credit markets continue to
experience uncertainty and volatility
●
Our business is subject to significant seasonal fluctuations
driven by market demands and each quarter is affected by seasonal
trends.
●
Our revenue and direct costs are subject to significant
fluctuations depending on supply and demand for freight
capacity.
Although
we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results,
levels of activity, or performance. Readers are urged to carefully
review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this
report and in our other reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We undertake no obligation to update
or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed
assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in
the future operating results over time except as required by law.
We believe that our assumptions are based upon reasonable data
derived from and known about our business and operations. No
assurances are made that actual results of operations or the
results of our future activities will not differ materially from
our assumptions.
Overview
We
are a global logistics and freight forwarding company. We operated
via our wholly owned subsidiaries, Unique Logistics International
(BOS) Inc, a Massachusetts corporation (“UL BOS”) and Unique
Logistics International (NYC) LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (“UL NYC”).
The
Company provides a range of international logistics services that
enable its customers to outsource to the Company sections of their
supply chain process. The services provided by the Company are
seamlessly managed by its network of trained employees and
integrated information systems. We enable our customers to share
data regarding their international vendors and purchase orders with
us, execute the flow of goods and information under their operating
instructions, provide visibility to the flow of goods from factory
to distribution center or store and when required, update their
inventory records.

Market Trends
Demand
for space by ocean freight and air freight from United States
importers surged in the period June 2021 through December 2021 as
retailers increased inventory in anticipation of the post covid
resurgence. This surge coupled with the impact of Covid related
factory lockdowns in Vietnam resulted in logistics disruptions and
ultimately unprecedented congestion in United States ports and
airports. Air cargo charters, including passenger aircrafts
converted to cargo charter flights were heavily in demand in the
second half of 2021 and pricing of all shipping methods increased
to unprecedented levels. The demand for shipping started slowing
down in early 2022 and price of shipping has been on a declining
trend since then, notwithstanding fluctuations in fuel prices. Many
United States retailers found themselves with excessive inventory
by the middle of 2022 and temporary corrections resulted in a
softer logistics market from May 2022 onward, with recovery
expected towards the end of 2022.
Business Trends
In
response to market trends, the Company increased its procurement of
ocean freight and air freight capacity to meet the requirements of
its customer base. The Company arranged ad hoc air cargo charter
flights to the United States from Vietnam, India, Bangladesh,
Singapore and Indonesia to meet customer demand for capacity.
During the first quarter ended August 31, 2022, the Company scaled
back on air cargo charter flights due to slowing demand and falling
ocean freight prices. Many United States retailers reported
over-inventory positions and shipping trends moved from “just in
case” (in the post Covid recovery period a year ago) to more
traditional “just in time”. Revenues declined in the current
quarter, both in terms of pricing and volume. However, the
Company’s strategic procurement policies resulted in increased
margins and greater profitability.
Significant Development
The
Company has now initiated an internal process to develop its
environmental, social and corporate governance (“ESG”) framework.
An external consultant has been engaged to guide the Company in its
initial steps. The Board of Directors and Management are fully
committed towards ensuring that the Company is on a path to the
systematic adoption of policies to identify, assess and manage
sustainability-related risks and opportunities in respect to all
stakeholders (including but not limited to customers, suppliers and
employees) and the environment.
Results

Revenue
declined by 28.1% driven by a slowdown in shipping and pricing
decline in both air and sea. The Company’s strategic procurement
policies ensured that despite the decline in revenue, there was
growth in net revenue and profitability. The Company continues to
invest in its sales and marketing strategy to increase market
share, while seeking opportunities for strategic acquisitions to
grow our business.
Gross
Margins
Product
costs were $126.4 million for the three months ended August 31,
2022, compared with $181.5 million for the three months August 31,
2021. This 30.1% decrease in cost more than offset the decrease in
revenue. Based on the executed strategy during the first three
months ended August 31, 2022, we were able to improve net revenue
(or gross margin) to 7.4% from 4.3% same period last year. The
Company’s management is committed to continue improving margins by
smart procurement, providing value added services and focusing on
technology.
Operating
Expenses
Operating
expenses remained steady at $5.2 million for three months ended
August 31, 2022 from $5.0 million for three months ended August 31,
2021. Personnel costs increased primarily due to increase in the
number of full-time employees. During the quarter ended August 31,
2022, the Company has improved its operational bench strength,
expanded its business development function and added to its finance
and accounting team. Selling and promotion expenses decreased in
line with business trends and adjustment of related
accruals.
Other
Expenses
Other
expenses comprised of interest expense, gain on forgiveness of
promissory notes, amortization of debt discount and gain on
extinguishment of convertible debt and change in fair value of
derivative liabilities.
During
the three months ended August 31, 2022, interest expense and bank
fees totaled approximately $1.4 million. The Company also recorded
$0.6 million gain on the mark to market of the derivative liability
associated with the antidilution provision imbedded in Series A, C
and D Preferred Stocks.
For
the three months ended August 31, 2021, the Company recorded
approximately $1.3 million interest expense and bank fees and
offsetting gain on extinguishment of note payable totaling
approximately $0.8 million.
Net
Income After Tax
The
Company reported net income of $3.3 million for the three months
ended August 31, 2022, compared to a net income of $2.0 million for
the ended August 31, 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA
We
define adjusted EBITDA to be earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, factoring fees, other income, net,
stock-based compensation and expenses, merger and acquisition
costs, restructuring, transition and acquisitions expense, net,
goodwill impairment and certain other items.
Adjusted
EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and
may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other
companies. We present adjusted EBITDA because we believe that
adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplement to net income from
operations as an indicator of operating performance. We use
adjusted EBITDA as a financial metric to measure the financial
performance of the business because management believes it provides
additional information with respect to the performance of its
fundamental business activities. For this reason, we believe
adjusted EBITDA will also be useful to others, including our
stockholders, as a valuable financial metric.
We
believe that adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure and not a
liquidity measure, and therefore a reconciliation between net
income from continuing operations and adjusted EBITDA has been
provided in the financial results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be
considered as an alternative to income from operations or net
income from operations as an indicator of performance or as an
alternative to cash flows from operating activities as an indicator
of cash flows, in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP,
or as a measure of liquidity. In addition, adjusted EBITDA does not
take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well
as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows. We do not
intend the presentation of these non-GAAP measures to be considered
in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance
with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should be read only in
conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements
prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA:

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis. Substantial doubt about an
entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when
conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that
it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its
obligations as they become due within one year after the date that
the financial statements are issued.
As of
August 31, 2022, the Company reported working capital of
approximately $6.5 million compared with $4.2 million working
capital as of May 31, 2022. The Company’s Earnings Before Interest,
Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) contribution to
working capital was $5.1 million and cash flow from operations $0.3
million during the quarter ended August 31, 2022. The Company has
adequate cash availability through the TBK Facility.
Since
its inception, the Company has experienced significant business
growth. To fund such growth, operating capital was initially
provided by third party investors through the sale of Convertible
Notes which were subsequently exchanged into convertible
securities. Preferred shares are more beneficial to the Company
because they do not require cash repayments. Due to the
antidilution provision imbedded in the certain of the convertible
securities, these provisions resulted in an embedded derivative and
the Company recorded a long-term liability. As of the quarter ended
August 31, 2022, and the year ended May 31, 2022, this liability
was $11.8 million and $12.4 million, respectively. This liability
is recorded as a long-term liability due to its future settlement
in common stock on the balance sheet and is being adjusted to
market on each of the subsequent reporting periods.
While
we continue to execute our strategic plan, management is focused on
managing cash and monitoring liquidity position. We have
implemented a number of initiatives to conserve our liquidity
position including activities such as increasing credit facilities,
reducing cost of debt, controlling general and administrative
expenditures and improving collection processes. Many of the
aspects of the plan involve management’s judgments and estimates
that include factors that could be beyond our control and actual
results could differ from our estimates. These and other factors
could cause the strategic plan to be unsuccessful which could have
a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial
condition, and liquidity. Use of operating cash is an indicator
that there could be a going concern issue, but based on our
evaluation of the Company’s projected cash flows and business
performance subsequent to the balance sheet date, management has
concluded that the Company’s current cash and cash availability
under the TBK Facility as of August 31, 2022, would be sufficient
to alleviate a going concern issue for at least one year from the
date these consolidated financial statements are issued.

in cash and cash equivalents of $1.2 million, a decrease in
accounts receivable of about $10.6 million, a decrease in contract
assets of $2.8 million, offset by a decrease in accounts payable -
trade of about $7.4 million, a decrease of accrued freight of about
$6.2 million and decrease in the borrowed amount on the line of
credit by $1.4 million.

Operating
activities provided cash of $0.3 million for the three months ended
August 31, 2022 compared to net cash used by operations of $40.4
million for the three months ended August 31, 2021. Primary reason
for cash provided for the three months ended August 31, 2022, was
the collections on accounts receivables offset by reduction in
Accounts Payable and Accrued Freight. Primary reason for cash used for the
three months ended August 31, 2021, was a significant increase in
accounts receivables, reflecting repurchase of trade receivables
from a factor taking advantage of a better interest rate on
Company’s new revolving credit facility.
Cash
used by financing activities of $1.38 million for the three months
ended August 31, 2022 primarily for repayment of $1.4 million on
line of credit. During the three months ended August 31, 2021,
financing activities provided
cash of $40.5 million due to initial borrowing of $39.5 million
from the line of credit facility in effect from June 1, 2021 used
to repurchase factored trade receivables.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - “Debt with
Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and
Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40):
Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s
Own Equity”. This ASU amends the guidance on convertible
instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an
entity’s own equity, and also improves and amends the related EPS
guidance for both Subtopics. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public
business entities, other than smaller reporting companies as
defined by the SEC starting January 1, 2022. For all other
entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those
fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently
evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its condensed
consolidated financial statements.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Accounting
policies, methods and estimates are an integral part of the
condensed consolidated financial statements prepared by management
and are based upon management’s current judgments. These judgments
are normally based on knowledge and experience regarding past and
current events and assumptions about future events. Certain
accounting policies, methods and estimates are particularly
sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements
and because of the possibility that future events affecting them
may differ from management’s current judgments. While there are a
number of accounting policies, methods and estimates that affect
our condensed consolidated financial statements, the areas that are
particularly significant include revenue recognition; the fair
value of acquired assets and liabilities; fair value of contingent
consideration; the assessment of the recoverability of long-lived
assets, goodwill and intangible assets; and leases.
We
perform an impairment test of goodwill for each year unless events
or circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred before that
time. We assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is
more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is
less than the carrying amount. After assessing qualitative factors,
if further testing is necessary, we would determine the fair value
of each reporting unit and compare the fair value to the reporting
unit’s carrying amount.
Intangible
assets consist of customer relationships, trade names and
trademarks and non-compete agreements arising from our
acquisitions. Customer relationships are amortized on a
straight-line basis over 12 to 15 years. Tradenames, trademarks and
non-compete agreements, are amortized on a straight-line basis over
3 to 10 years.
We
review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not
be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash
flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset is less
than its carrying amount, the asset is considered to be impaired.
Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. When fair
values are not available, we estimate fair value using the expected
future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks
associated with the recovery of the asset. Assets to be disposed of
are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less
costs to sell.
The
Company has identified derivative instruments arising from an
anti-dilution provision in the Company’s preferred stock. Each
reporting period, the embedded derivative liability, if material,
would be adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end with
changes in fair value recorded in the “Change in fair value of
embedded derivative liability” financial statement line item of the
Company’s condensed consolidated statements of
operations.
Our
significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our
condensed consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK
As a
smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the
information required by this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The
term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, refers to controls
and procedures that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files
or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports
that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to the company’s management, including its principal
executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing
similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our
disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any
controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated,
can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired
control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls
and procedures must reflect the fact there are resource constraints
and management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the
benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their
costs.
Our
management, with the participation of our Principal Executive
Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated, as of the end
of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation,
our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer
concluded as of August 31, 2022 that our disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective and require remediation in order to
be effective. Prior to October 2020, we were a private company with
limited accounting personnel and other resources with which we
address our internal control over financial reporting. In
connection with the audit of our financial statements as of and for
the year ended May 31, 2022, our management identified material
weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A
material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies,
in internal controls, 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. The
material weaknesses identified relate to the fact that we did not
design and maintain an effective control environment commensurate
with our financial reporting requirements, including (a) lack of a
sufficient number of trained professionals with an appropriate
level of accounting knowledge, training and experience.
Management’s general assessment of the above processes in light of
the company’s size, maturity and complexity, as to the design and
effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting is
that the key controls and procedures in each of these processes
provide reasonable assurance regarding reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No
change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined
in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) has
occurred during the three months ended August 31, 2022 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting. Management is
currently assessing a remediation plan and intends to implement
such controls and procedures. Management intends to have the
controls and procedures implemented and remediated by May 31,
2023.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We
are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or
results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding,
inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board,
government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or,
to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of
our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our
common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our
subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in
which an adverse decision could have a material adverse
effect.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash
flows may be impacted by a number of factors, many of which are
beyond our control, including those set forth in our most recent
Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our other filings with the SEC,
the occurrence of any one of which could have a material adverse
effect on our actual results. There have been no material changes
to the Risk Factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K and our other filings with the SEC.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF
PROCEEDS
There
were no unregistered sales of the Company’s equity securities
during the quarter ended August 31, 2022, that were not previously
reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K except as

Preferred Stock and 9,935 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock into 43,981,559 shares and 67,963,732 shares of the Company’s
common stock, respectively.
The
above transactions did not involve any underwriters, underwriting
discounts or commissions, or any public offering. The Company
relied upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) by virtue of Section
4(a)(2) thereof and/or Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under
the Act.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
