Summary Risk Factors
Our business faces significant risks and uncertainties of which investors should be aware before making a decision to invest in our common stock. If any of the following risks are realized, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. The following is a summary of the more significant risks relating to the Company. A more detailed description of our risk factors is set forth below under the caption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A in Part I of this Annual Report.
| Risks Relating to the COVID-19 Pandemic | |
● | Pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, could have a material adverse effect on our operations, liquidity, financial condition, and financial results. | |
Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Capital Requirements | ||
| ● | We have incurred losses for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and there can be no assurance that we will generate net income. |
| ● | Our historical operating results indicate substantial doubt exists related to our ability to operate as a going concern. |
| ● | We require funds to operate and expand our business. |
● | We have identified a material weakness in our internal controls, and we cannot provide assurances that this weakness will be effectively remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not occur in the future. | |
| ● | Our failure to fulfill all our registration requirements in connection with our previously issued note and warrants may cause us to suffer liquidated damages, which may be very costly. |
Risks Related to Our Business | ||
| ● | We have pursued and may continue to pursue acquisitions, joint ventures, or other growth opportunities, which could present unforeseen integration obstacles or costs and could dilute our stockholders. We may also face competition in our acquisition strategy, and such competition may limit our number of proposed acquisitions, joint ventures, and other growth opportunities. |
| ● | We may have difficulty in entering and maintaining strategic alliances with third parties. |
| ● | Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations, which may cause our operating results to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and adversely affect our working capital and liquidity throughout the year. |
| ● | Our working capital requirements and cash flows are subject to fluctuation, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition. |
| ● | We operate in a highly competitive industry; |
| ● | If we are unable to continually enhance our products and to develop, introduce and sell new technologies and products at competitive prices and in a timely manner, our business will be harmed. |
| ● | We rely on highly skilled personnel, and, if we are unable to attract, retain or motivate qualified personnel, we may not be able to operate our business effectively. |
| ● | Inasmuch as our products are installed in many states throughout the United States, our employment needs include the hiring of skilled installers in several states and we are subject to the employment laws of many states. Our long-term incentive programs may not be attractive enough or perform sufficiently to attract or retain qualified personnel. |
| ● | Our businesses are geographically concentrated and could be significantly affected by any adverse change in the regions in which we operate. |
| ● | For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we generated a significant portion of our revenue from a limited number of customers. |
| ● | We are dependent upon a limited number of third-party manufacturers and key suppliers for the components used in our products. Our suppliers may not be able to always supply components or products to us on a timely basis and on favorable terms, and as a result, our dependency on third party suppliers has adversely affected our revenue and may continue to do so. |
● | For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we had three that accounted for approximately 83% and two vendors and that accounted for approximately 75% of purchases, respectively. |
-2-
| ● | Long lead times, supply shortages, and supply changes could disrupt our supply chain and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results. |
| ● | We are currently subject to market prices for the components that we purchase, which are subject to fluctuation beyond our control. An increase in the price of components used in our products could result in an increase in costs to our customers and could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and demand for our products. |
| ● | Our business is subject to the risks associated with doing business in China. |
| ● | In the past, the U.S. Government has imposed tariffs on products manufactured in China and imported into the United States causing the prices for such products to increase. This could cause customer demand for our products to decrease. |
| ● | Changes in general economic conditions, geopolitical conditions, domestic and foreign trade policies, monetary policies and other factors beyond our control may adversely impact our business and operating results. |
| ● | Our facilities and information systems and those of our key suppliers could be damaged as a result of disasters or unpredictable events, which could have an adverse effect on our business operations. |
| ● | The loss of key management personnel could adversely affect our business. |
| ● | Our Chief Executive Officer and Director and our Chief Financial Officer and Director have significant influence over us. |
| ● | Product liability, warranty, and recall claims may materially affect our financial condition and damage our reputation. |
| ● | Significant product repair and/or replacement due to product warranty claims or product recalls could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. |
Risks Related to Our Industry and Regulations | ||
| ● | Decreases in, or stagnation of, spending or changes in the spending policies or budget priorities for government funding of schools, colleges, universities, other education providers or government agencies may have a material adverse effect on our revenue. |
| ● | If our products fail to comply with consumer product or environmental laws, it could materially affect our financial performance. |
| ● | If we are unable to anticipate consumer preferences and successfully develop attractive products, we might not be able to maintain or increase our revenue or achieve profitability. |
| ● | We may be unable to keep pace with changes in technology as our business and market strategy evolves. |
Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property and Technology | ||
| ● | We have limited protection for our intellectual property, which could impact our competitive position. |
| ● | We may not be able to obtain patents or other intellectual property rights necessary to protect our proprietary technology and business. |
| ● | Our business may suffer if it is alleged or determined that our technology or another aspect of our business infringes the intellectual property of others. |
Risks Related to Our Common Stock | ||
| ● | Future sales of our common stock could adversely affect our share price, and any additional capital raised by us through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities may dilute your ownership in us and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. |
| ● | The market price of our common stock may be volatile, which could cause the value of your investment to fluctuate and possibly decline significantly. |
| ● | The exercise or conversion of currently outstanding debt, warrants or preferred stock would further dilute holders of our common stock. |
| ● | Our officers, directors, and principal stockholders exercise significant control over our Company, and may be able to control our management and operations, acting in their best interests and not necessarily those of other stockholders. |
● | Future sales of common stock by our officers and directors and principal stockholders or others of our common stock, or the perception that such sales may occur, could depress the market price of our common stock. | |
● | Certain provisions of Nevada law may have anti-takeover effects. | |
● | Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Nevada law, could make an acquisition of our Company more difficult, limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management and limit the market price of our common stock. | |
● | Our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws provide for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense, which may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our stockholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers or directors. | |
● | We do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock. |

PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Business Overview
Galaxy is a manufacturer and U.S. distributor of interactive learning technologies and enhanced audio solutions. We are engaged in a full range of activities: marketing and sales, engineering and product design and development, manufacturing, and distributing. We develop both hardware and software that allows the presenter and participant to engage in a fully collaborative instructional environment. We also develop award winning classroom audio solutions, school PA and Intercom products, and emergency communication applications creating a full line card offering for classrooms to our channel partners. Galaxy’s product offerings include Galaxy’s own private-label interactive touch screen panel, its own Intercom, Bell, and Paging solution, as well as an audio amplification line of products that is currently supported by both direct sales and through OEM relationships. Galaxy’s distribution channel consists of a direct sales model, as well as approximately 44 resellers across the U.S. who primarily sell the products offered by Galaxy within the commercial and educational market. Galaxy does not control where the resellers focus their reselling efforts; however, the K-12 education market is the largest customer base for Galaxy products comprising nearly 90% of Galaxy’s sales. In addition, Galaxy's OEM division also manufacturers products for other vendors in its industry and white labels the products under other brands.
We believe the market space for interactive technology in the classroom is a perpetual highway of business opportunity, especially in light of the global ongoing novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic as school systems have sought to expand their ability to operate remotely. Public and private school systems are in a continuous race to modernize their learning environments. Our goal is to be an early provider of the best and most modern technology available.
We are striving to become a leader in the market for interactive flat panel technology, associated software, and peripheral devices for classrooms. Our goal is to provide an intuitive system to enhance the learning environment and create easy to use technology for the teacher, increasing student engagement and achievement. Our products are developed and backed by a management team with more than 30 combined years in the classroom technology space.
This Annual Report contains references to our trademarks and to trademarks belonging to other entities. Solely for convenience, trademarks and trade names referred to in this Annual Report, including logos, artwork and other visual displays, may appear without the ® or TM symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that we will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights or the rights of the applicable licensor to these trademarks and trade names. We do not intend our use or display of other companies' trade names or trademarks to imply a relationship with, or endorsement or sponsorship of us by, any other companies.
Industry Background and Trends
Over the years, our products have evolved significantly from interactive whiteboards and other analog type classroom technologies to high-definition displays and collaboration software. In the mid-2000s, schools began to adopt interactive whiteboard type technology to assist in increasing student engagement and give teachers tools that were more amenable to the way our students were learning. This evolution continues to move towards learning environments that are flexible, collaborative, and motivating for our digital natives.

The educational technology market is currently experiencing substantial growth due to government mandates for improving the education results in the United States. Education, governments, corporations, and individuals are recognizing the growing need to utilize technology for more effective delivery of information to educate end users. Today, most classrooms are equipped with some type of smart board technology but given the ever-changing nature of technology, previous investments are becoming obsolete. The industry has several hundred technology resellers, selling a variety of products, already selling to these entities directly. Our goal is to target the resellers to gain market share growth in the education technology market. With the global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have implemented business continuity plans designed to address and mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our employees and business. While our sales have not declined and have increased as school systems have sought to expand their ability to operate remotely during this pandemic, we have experienced supply chain delays.
Description of Business
We are engaged in a full range of activities: marketing and sales, engineering and product design and development, manufacturing, and distributing. We are a manufacturer and distributor of interactive learning technologies and enhanced audio solutions. We develop both hardware and software that allows the presenter and participant to engage in a fully collaborative instructional environment. We also develop award winning classroom audio solutions and school PA and Intercom products, creating a full line card offering for classrooms to our channel partners.
Marketing and Sales. Our sales force is comprised of direct sales staff and resellers located throughout the United States supporting all customer types in both sales and service. We historically have used a direct sales force for our Interactive Panel line of products and accessories. We utilize our resellers where geographically available and continue to expand the number of resellers available to us to market and sell the product line(s) into new territories. Our current distribution channel consists of 44 resellers across the United States who primarily sell our product within the commercial and educational market. While we do not control where our resellers focus their efforts, based on experience, the kindergarten through 12th grade education market is the largest customer base for the product, comprising nearly 90% of all purchases. We support our direct sales team as well as our resellers through direct mail/email advertising, social media campaigns, trade journal advertising, trade show exhibitions and accessibility to our regional teams for online and on-site demonstrations and meetings.
Engineering and Product Design and Development. The education technology sector is characterized by ongoing product innovations and developments in technology and advancements in the way we learn. To remain competitive, we have a tradition of applying engineering resources throughout our business to anticipate and respond rapidly to the product needs in the marketplace. We employ and contract with engineers and technicians in the areas of mechanical and electrical design; application engineering; software design; and customer and product support. We work closely with our customers to ensure product changes and upgrades are in line with end user needs and goals. Product improvements and quality control and of upmost importance to our development team and high-level testing and certifications go into each new product design.
Manufacturing. We are the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for an audio amplification device used primarily in classrooms. Most of these products are manufactured in the United States, specifically in Arizona, Washington, and Utah. We contract out most component manufacturing, but handle internally system manufacturing (electronic assembly, sub-assembly, programming, and final assembly) and testing to manage quality control, improve response time, and maximize cost-effectiveness. A key strategy of ours is to increase our OEM partners and standardize on commonality of parts across all product lines to increase efficiencies.
-5-
Distributing. We are also the original design manufacturer (ODM) for our line of Interactive Flat Panels and accessories. Most of these products are manufactured outside of the United States, primarily in China. We perform product testing, programming, and software installation state-side to ensure quality control and maximize order response time.
Customer Service and Support. We offer limited warranties on our products, ranging from 0 to 5 years, against failure due to defective parts of workmanship. In addition, we offer service agreements of various scopes mostly related to our Bell, Paging, and Intercom products. To serve our customers, we provide a help-desk access, parts repair, and product replacement. Our technical help desk is available for customer support and is positioned to repair via phone or email most warranty issues. Our field service personnel and third-party service partners are trained to provide on-site support or product replacements.
Products and Technologies
The three key components of our product line are our (i) interactive flat panels, (ii) bell, paging, and intercom solutions, and (iii) classroom audio amplification device(s). We distribute flat panels in a variety of sizes and configurations. There are many accessories related to this product line that can increase the user experience. Our bell, paging, and intercom products are powered by our proprietary software and are designed specifically for the user in terms of the accompanying hardware.

-6-
Each of these product families are described below:
G2 Slim Interactive Flat Panel Displays. These LED interactive touch panel devices are sold in a variety of sizes; 55", 65", 75" and 86". They are mainly controlled and operated by an Android operating system and are equipped with several different applications that enhance the learning or collaborative environment. Each panel is sold with a wireless streaming application that allows for the participants to ‘cast' from their device to the interactive flat panel's display. We also offer a bundled solution for a more robust software suite to include interactive whiteboarding software, educational games, and pre-made interactive lessons. We offer a range of mounting and installation options including mobile carts, carts that convert to flat tables, and wall mounting options. In addition to the onboard Android operating system, we also offer an integrated Windows machine that is customizable to the client's specifications.
G2 Communicator Bell, Paging, and Intercom. Our proprietary line ‘G2 Communicator' offers a solution, either in-cloud or on-premise, for initiating bells, paging, or intercom calls. It offers clients a simple user interface with mapping software, zoning, and device management to fluidly run the system, initiate calls, or manage offline devices from any internet enabled hardware device. We offer our solution as a fully packaged G2 Suite, with our own branded 7-volt amplifiers, IP endpoints, and IP speakers, or it is integrated into existing environments where other branded peripherals are already installed. This gives us flexibility to accommodate not only new system installs but also building remodels and infrastructure build outs.
Our newest addition to the G2 Communicator family of products is the G2 Visual Communicator. This product offers an alerting system (often referred to as G2 Visual Alerts) which overtakes the screen of any enrolled device to send instant communications anytime and from anywhere. Its integration with the bell, paging, and intercom products make it an easy upgrade to be able to have the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990) compliant component of a visual bell or page while also offering a solution in emergency situations to make sure communication is being delivered throughout the building in an audible and visual way.
G2 Secure was brought to market this year and resides as a module inside of G2 Communicator. G2 Secure enables quick and efficient communication throughout the campus and with first responders during crisis situations. G2 Secure also can monitor other safety devices, such as door locks, access control, and video doorbells to make sure the school is ‘hardened’ and safe from further unwanted penetration. Future development of this product will include additional features such as, student check-in so that the school admin has immediate insight into the safety of each individual.
Classroom Audio Amplification Solutions. Most of our audio solutions are currently being sold to companies as a white labeled product and do not carry the ‘G2' brand. This product family includes an amplifier which carries audio from both the teacher microphone and the student microphone to speakers throughout the environment. The product was developed internally by our engineering team and has unique technological features specific to our intellectual properties. The amplifier supports many inputs and outputs and allows for SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) calls and multicast protocols to pass through, giving our development team flexibility on future upgrades. This particular product family also carries our ‘Call Switch' which allows for one-button communication between the room in which it is installed and the central location for communication. It includes a button for basic two way calls as well as a separate button for emergency calls. The bulk of our future development is within this family of products and we continue to not only expand our product offerings in the audio amplification segment but also our customers within our white labeled offerings.
Raw Materials
Materials used in the production of our manufactured items are sourced from around the world. Examples of the materials we use in production include plastics, integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, power supplies, and other raw materials. We source most of our materials from multiple sources but may still have a limited number of suppliers due to the proprietary nature of the materials. Part unavailability, tariff changes, or defects in components could have an adverse impact on our business and operations. Our sourcing partners and internal team works to implement strategies to mitigate these risks.
-7-
During late fiscal 2022, supply chain disruptions began to emerge because of the COVID-19 pandemic, including shipping container shortages and changes in global demand We were specifically impacted by the global shortage of semiconductors and related electronic components, other materials needed for production, and freight availability. We have internally adapted new ways of securing components and raw material to mitigate these issues and will continue to monitor the impact or potential impact any supply shortages may have on our business.
Intellectual Property
We own or hold licenses to use numerous patents, copyrights, and trademarks on a global basis. Our policy is to protect our competitive position by filing U.S. and international patent applications to protect technology and improvements that we consider important to the development of our business. This should allow us to pursue infringement claims against competitors for protection due to patent violations. Although we own patents and possess rights under others to which we attach importance, we do not believe that our business is materially dependent upon any such patents or rights. We also own a number of trademarks that we believe are important in connection with the identification of our products and associated good will with customers, but no part of our business materially depends on such trademarks. We also rely on nondisclosure agreements with our employees and agents to protect our intellectual property. Despite these intellectual property protections, there can be no assurance a competitor will not copy the functions or features of our products.
As of September 20, 2022, we had two (2) US patent issued and two (2) pending publications, one utility patent filed on January 22, 2019 and 1 design patent filed on July 2, 2019:
(1) 70701-1040, entitled "ASSISTIVE LISTENING SYSTEM THAT USES SOUND WAVES FOR DEVICE PAIRING". Our US patent has terms until January 22, 2039.
(2) US11363379B2, entitled “AUDIO/VISUAL DEVICE WITH CENTRAL CONTROL, ASSISTIVE LISTENING, OR A SCREEN”. Our US patent has terms until June 12, 2039.
Seasonality
Our revenue has historically fluctuated due to the impact of purchasing cycles with school budgets. School budgets follow a June 30 year end, and because of this, we see larger ordering towards the end of the school fiscal year and the beginning of the school fiscal year when new budgets are allocated.
Because of the seasonality and volatility in business demand and variety of product types, we may not be able to utilize our capacity efficiently or accurately plan our capacity requirements, which may negatively affect our business and operating results.
We have added additional revenue streams with our OEM customers in order to mitigate this historic seasonality and hope to extend our offerings into other verticals outside of education in order to have a more constant sales cycle moving forward
Opportunities and Plan of Operations
We believe that our products, both hardware and software, and the products we intend to develop as part of our extensive product road map, positions us to be one of the leading providers of interactive educational products and audio amplification devices. We believe that the increase in consumer spending along with the ever-evolving increase in standards for curriculum are two driving forces for the increase in the demand for interactive educational technology. Some additional factors that we believe will impact our opportunity include:
- Significant resources are being devoted to primary and secondary education, both in the United States and abroad. As set forth in the Executive Office of the President, Council of Economic Advisers Report, United States education expenditure (primary, secondary and post-secondary) has been estimated at approximately $1.3 trillion, with primary and secondary education accounting for close to half ($625 billion) of this spending. Global spending is approximated at roughly triple United States spending for primary and secondary education.
- The United States primary and secondary market has always been a point of political debate and scrutiny. With American students ranking far behind other global students in international tests, the United States education system severely impairs the United States' economic, military, and diplomatic security as well as broader components of America's global leadership.
-8-
-The United States education system has also seen major increases in budgets due to stimulus funds being distributed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Schools are encouraged to spend their CARES and ESSER monies on technology and products such as ours to assist them in overcoming the new challenges the pandemic has caused within our education system.
-The demand for Interactive Flat Panels is on the rise. With traditional interactive whiteboards having been in the market for more than fifteen years, many of these technologies are coming to a refresh period and are being replaced with the newer, more advanced interactive flat panels.
-The demand has also increased for our Communicator software, most relevantly our Visual Communicator software as emergency alerting continues to be a best practice to implement school safety procedures.
We intend to build upon our proven ability to produce and sell products. We have begun to implement the growth strategies described below and expect to continue to do so in the upcoming years. In order to implement each goal pertaining to growth, we may need additional capital to implement each strategy, particularly in relation to the target acquisition(s) of complementary businesses or technologies.
We intend to grow our business by using the following methodology:
- Capitalizing on market trends in the educational industry: We believe our long history of selling into the K-12 education market provides us with the expertise to continue to stay on the cutting edge of new product development and needs of the classroom teacher. We also believe our expertise in customer service and training positions us well for expected growth. We intend to build our core business by leveraging the strengths of our leadership and building out a solid team with experience and expertise in our market.
- Expanding our reseller channel sales: The educational technology industry is driven to a great extent by relationships. We intend to continue to grow and expand our resellers and integrators in strategic geographical regions so that we can leverage the relationships in the local school systems within those regions.
- Growth through acquisitions: We believe that the interactive and collaborative classroom as well as school safety and security have many components and moving parts. We intend to stay on the cutting edge of new products by building out our product offerings and line card through strategic acquisitions. Acquisitions provide us with significant opportunities to grow our business by adding complementary products and new innovative technologies to provide a broader experience to our customers. We intend to pursue acquisitions that provide services within our current core product offerings, extend our geographic reach, and expand our product offerings.

- Further developing intellectual property: We intend to build upon our success in developing original software that we own and license to other brands, and distributors globally. When we develop an original software or application, we retain the copyright and patent of that content. We expect to create additional revenue streams from development fees, brand license fees, distribution license fees and ancillary sources.
- Expanding our geographic presence: We believe that by expanding our physical presence into select domestic and international regions, we will be better able to attract and retain clients. With a physical presence in strategic locations around the US, we believe we can provide better customer service and offer local services and training resulting in an increase in revenue for those areas.
Logistics and suppliers
Logistics are currently provided by our Toccoa, Georgia, Broomfield, Colorado, Jacksonville, Florida and Peoria, Arizona facilities and multiple import and freight carriers throughout the US. These partners allow us to provide affordable freight routes and shorter delivery times to our customers. Our suppliers for ODM and OEM are located in the USA, China, and Taiwan.
Concentrations
Galaxy contracts the manufacture of its products with domestic and overseas suppliers. The Company's sales could be adversely impacted by a supplier's inability to provide Galaxy with an adequate supply of inventory. Galaxy has three vendors that accounted for approximately 83% of purchases for the year ended June 30, 2022 and two vendors that accounted for approximately 75% if purchases for the year ended June 30, 2021, respectively. See risk factor “We are dependent upon a limited number of third party manufacturers and key suppliers for the components used in our products. Our suppliers may not be able to always supply components or products to us on a timely basis and on favorable terms, and as a result, our dependency on third party suppliers has adversely affected our revenue and may continue to do so.”
Galaxy has two customers that accounted for approximately 77% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2022 and two customers that accounted for approximately 73% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2021. Galaxy has three customers that account for 66% of revenues for the year ended June 30, 2022. Galaxy has two customers that accounted for approximately 50% of revenues for the year ended June 30, 2021. See the risk Factor” For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we generated a significant portion of our revenue from a limited number of customers.”

Competition
We encounter a wide variety of competitors that vary by product and geographic area. Our competitors include both United States and foreign companies and range in size and product offerings. Our competitors may develop lower-cost or lower-featured products and may be willing to charge lower prices to increase their market share. Some competitors have more capital, supply chain access, and other resources which may allow them to take advantage of acquisition opportunities or adapt more quickly to changes in customer requirements.
The interactive education industry is highly competitive and has frequent product introductions and quick technological advances. With less barriers on the school technology entry, we face heated competition from other interactive panel developers, manufacturers, and distributors. We compete with other developers, manufacturers and distributors of interactive panels and personal computer technologies, tablets, television screens, smart phones, such as Smart Technologies, Promethean, Samsung, Panasonic and ClearTouch.
The classroom audio portion of our industry is less competitive with only approximately 4 major competitors in the US. With our ability to manufacture this product ourselves we have a price advantage over the other players in this market. We also continue to improve features with our team of internal developers to make sure this product line stays at the top of the industry standards.
The Intercom industry has seen tremendous increases in interest and buying, mainly a reflection of the need to make sure that school communication is a top priority during emergency situations. G2 Secure is first to market in terms of integrating the emergency communication platform into an intercom system, giving the schools one platform for all communication.
We believe that our ability to compete depends upon customer centric product quality and features, technical expertise, and cost-effective solutions.
Research and Development
We believe our experience in engineering, process design, product design and development capabilities, and the investments made in our team to date, such as hiring third party developers, designers and coders are very important factors in being able to continue to develop, produce, and offer the most up-to-date technology desired by our market.
Over the past four years, we have invested in our team third party developers, designers and coders and our development to increase our differentiated product platforms, advance our software architecture and offerings, support customer requirements, and advance our competitive landscape.
Product design and development investments in the near term are focused on developing or improving our audio technology and our school safety technology. The new technologies are focused on improving communication in schools during crisis events to ensure safety protocols are accessible and easy to manage by school employees.
Material Agreements
Manufacturer and Distributorship Agreement
On September 15, 2018, the Company signed an agreement with a company in China for the manufacture of Galaxy’s SLIM series of interactive panels. The manufacturer agreed to manufacture, and the Company agreed to be the sole distributor of the interactive panels in the United States for a term of two years. The agreement includes a commitment by Galaxy to purchase $2 million of product during the first year beginning September 2018. If the minimum purchase is not met, the manufacturer can require the Company to establish a performance improvement plan, and the manufacturer has the right to terminate the agreement. The payment terms are 20% in advance, 30% after the product is ready to ship, and the remaining 50% 45 days after receipt. The manufacturer provides Galaxy with the product, including a three-year manufacturer’s warranty from the date of shipment. The agreement renews automatically in two-year increments unless three months’ notice is given by either party. The Company has met the requirements of the agreement.
-11-
Accounts Receivable Factoring Agreement
On July 30, 2020, the Company entered into a two-year accounts receivable factoring agreement with a financial services company to provide working capital. The agreement renews automatically for a two-year period, unless notice is provided. Pursuant the agreement, the financial services company will pay the Company an amount up to eighty percent (80%) of the purchase price for the purchased accounts. Factoring fees are 2.5% of the face value of the account receivable sold to the factoring agent per month until collected. For collections over 90 days from the invoice date, the fee increases to 3.5%. The agreement contains a credit line of $1,000,000 and requires a minimum of $300,000 of factored receivables per calendar quarter. The agreement includes early termination fees and is guaranteed by the Company and by two of the stockholders individually. The Company paid collection fees of $73,865 and $77,600 during the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Human Capital
Our core values support our commitment to our employees. We believe that our success depends upon our ability to attract, develop, retain, and motivate key personnel. We seek to recruit, retain, and develop our existing and future workforce for decade-long engagements to build long-term mutual prosperity. We encourage each employee to proactively and continuously build self-awareness and openness to others' experiences and perspectives. We also provide competitive salaries and opportunities for bonuses in order to attract and retain employees.
The safety and well-being of our team members is a top priority and we believe every team member plays an essential role in creating a safe and healthy workplace. We provide our employees and their families with access to a variety of health programs. In response to COVID-19, we implemented changes that we consider to be in the best interest of our employees. We implemented additional safety measures for employees continuing critical on-site work and allowed for employees to work from home when able. We believe we have been able to preserve our business continuity without sacrificing our commitment to keeping our employees safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately twenty-four full time employees, of whom four are executives, six employees are engaged in product development, engineering and research and development, eight employees are engaged in sales and marketing, four employees are engaged in administrative and clerical services and two employees are engaged in service and training. In addition, approximately two individuals provide consulting services as independent contractors.
None of our employees are represented by labor organizations. We consider our relationship with our employees to be excellent.
Corporate History
Galaxy Next Generation LTD CO. (“Galaxy CO”) was organized in the state of Georgia in February 2017 while R&G Sales, Inc. (“R&G”) was organized in the state of Georgia in August 2004. Galaxy CO merged with R&G (“common controlled merger”) on March 16, 2018, with R&G becoming the surviving company. R&G subsequently changed its name to Galaxy Next Generation, Inc. (“Private Galaxy”).
FullCircle Registry, Inc. (“FLCR”), which was originally organized as a Nevada corporation in 2000 as Excel Publishing, Inc., is a holding company created for the purpose of acquiring small profitable businesses to provide exit plans for those company’s owners. FLCR’s subsidiary, FullCircle Entertainment, Inc. (“Entertainment” or “FLCE”), owned and operated Georgetown 14 Cinemas, a fourteen-theater movie complex located in Indianapolis, Indiana.
On June 22, 2018, we consummated a reverse triangular merger whereby Private Galaxy (co-founded by our now executives, Gary LeCroy (CEO) and Magen McGahee (CFO)), merged with and into our newly formed subsidiary, Galaxy MS, Inc. (“Galaxy MS” or “Merger Sub”), which was formed specifically for the transaction. Under the terms of the merger, the shareholders of Private Galaxy transferred all their outstanding shares of common stock to Galaxy MS, in return for shares of our Series C Preferred Stock. Prior to the merger, we operated under the name FullCircle Registry, Inc. and our operations were based upon our ownership of Georgetown 14 Cinemas, a fourteen-theater movie complex located on approximately seven acres in Indianapolis, Indiana. Prior to the merger, our sole business and source of revenue was from the operation of the theater, and as part of the merger agreement, we had the right to spinout the theater to the prior shareholders of FLCR. Effective February 6, 2019, we sold our interest in the theater to focus our resources on our technology operations.
In recognition of Private Galaxy’s merger with FLCR, several things occurred: (1) on August 30, 2018, FLCR amended and restated its articles of incorporation to change its name from FullCircle Registry, Inc. to Galaxy Next Generation, Inc.; (2) the Company changed its fiscal year end to June 30, effective June 2018; (3) the Company’s authorized shares of preferred stock were increased to 200,000,000 and authorized shares of common stock were increased to 4,000,000,000 (prior to the Reverse Stock Split) both with a par value of $0.0001; (4) the Board of Directors and Executive Officers approved Gary LeCroy, President and Director; Magen McGahee, Secretary and Director; and Carl Austin, Director; and (5) the primary business operated by the combined company became the business that was operated by Private Galaxy.

On September 4, 2019, we acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of both Interlock Concepts, Inc. (“Concepts”) and Ehlert Solutions Group, Inc. (“Solutions”) pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase agreement that we entered into with Concepts and Solutions. Under the stock purchase agreement, we acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of both Concepts and Solutions. The purchase price for the acquisition was 1,350,000 shares of common stock and a two year note payable to the seller in the principal amount of $3,000,000. The note payable to the seller is subject to adjustment based on the achievement of certain future earnings goals and successful completion of certain pre-acquisition withholding tax issues of Concepts and Solutions.
On October 15, 2020, we acquired the assets of Classroom Technologies Solution, Inc. (“Classroom Tech”) for consideration of (a) paying off a secured Classroom Tech loan, not to exceed the greater of 50% of the value of the Classroom Tech assets acquired or $120,000; (b) the issuance of a promissory note in the amount of $44,526 to a Classroom Tech designee; and (c) the issuance of 10 million shares of common stock to the seller of Classroom Tech. The Entertainment segment was sold on February 6, 2019 in exchange for 38,625 (193 shares after adjustment for 200:1 reverse split) shares of our common stock.
On March 7, 2022, we effected a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a 1-for-200 basis.
On August 31, 2022, we filed a certificate of amendment to our amended and restated articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 20,000,000 to 200,000,000.
Our principal executive offices are located at 285 Big A Road Toccoa, Georgia 30577, and our telephone number is (706) 391-5030. Our website address is www.galaxynext.us. Information contained in our website does not form part of this Annual Report and is intended for informational purposes only.
COVID-19
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was reported in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization determined that the outbreak constituted a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and declared a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is disrupting businesses and affecting production and sales across a range of industries, as well as causing volatility in the financial markets. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our customer demand, sales and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including, among other things, the duration and spread of the outbreak and the impact on our customers and employees, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. See “Risk Factors” for information regarding certain risks associated with the pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated cloud transformation efforts for new and existing customers and underscored the importance and mission-critical nature of multi-cloud strategies. Over the last several months, customers have increasingly turned to cloud solutions to pivot to new business models, improved their disaster recovery of mission critical data, migrated to cloud based solutions and reduced their capital expenditure requirements.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented a number of initiatives to ensure the safety of our employees. Since March 9, 2020, over 90% of our employees work remotely. All of our employees have had the ability to work remotely utilizing solutions the Company provides to their clients and distribution channels. Additionally, our remote, technology-enabled model has enabled minimal disruption to our go-to-market efforts and service delivery organizations.
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are rapidly evolving, and the full impact and duration of the virus are unknown. Currently, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a significant impact on our operations or financial performance; however, the ultimate extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and its impact on our customers, vendors and employees and its impact on our sales cycles as well as industry events, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.

On April 30, 2020, we were granted a loan from a banking institution, in the principal amount of approximately $310,000 (the “Loan”), pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under Division A, Title I of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted on March 27, 2020. The Loan, which was in the form of a Note dated April 30, 2020, matures on April 30, 2022 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly to Signature Bank, as lender, commencing on November 5, 2020. Funds from the loan may only be used to retain workers and maintain payroll or make mortgage payments, lease payments and utility payments. Management intends to use the entire Loan amount for qualifying expenses. Under the terms of the PPP, certain amounts of the Loan may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act. We applied for and was granted forgiveness of the loan.
In May 2020, we received a loan from the SBA under Section 7(b) of the Small Business Act. The $150,000 secured loan matures in May 2050 and accrues interest at an annual rate of 3.75%. The promissory note is collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of our assets. The loan proceeds are to fund working capital needs due to economic injury caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Cares Act allowed employers to defer the deposit and payment of the employer’s share of Social Security taxes from March 27, 2020 through September 30, 2021. The deferred deposits of the employer’s share of Social Security tax must be deposited 50% by December 31, 2021, and 50% by December 31, 2022. The Company’s remaining deferred deposits and current payments due amounted to $457,704 of Social Security Tax at June 30, 2022. In fiscal years 2022 and 2021, the Company applied for Employee Retention Credits and has recognized approximately $40,000 as a reduction to operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.
The extent of the impact, if any, will depend on future developments, including actions taken to contain COVID-19. See also “Risk Factors” for more information.
Government Regulation
We are subject to various federal, state, local and international laws with respect to our receipt, storage and processing of personal information and other customer data. If our products do not meet applicable safety or regulatory standards, we could experience lost sales, diverted resources and increased costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Our products are subject to environmental regulations in some jurisdictions in which we will do business, we are and will be required to comply with a variety of product safety, product testing and environmental regulations, including compliance with applicable laws and standards with respect to lead content and other child safety and environmental issues. Events that give rise to actual, potential or perceived product safety or environmental concerns could expose us to government enforcement action or private litigation and result in product recalls and other liabilities. In addition, negative consumer perceptions regarding the safety of our products could cause negative publicity and harm our reputation.
For additional detail, please see the following Risk Factor: “If our products fail to comply with consumer product or environmental laws, it could materially affect our financial performance.”
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Investors should carefully consider the risks described below before deciding whether to invest in our securities. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements made throughout this Annual Report a result of different factors, including the risks we face described below.
Risks Relating to the COVID-19 Pandemic
Pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, could have a material adverse effect on our operations, liquidity, financial condition, and financial results.
A serious global pandemic, including the current COVID-19 pandemic and variants of COVID-19, can adversely impact, shock and weaken the global economy. These impacts can amplify other risk factors and could have a material impact on our operations, liquidity, financial conditions, and financial results.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. COVID-19 pandemic-related risks that may impact our business include increased exposure to: global regulatory, geopolitical, and societal changes; rapid degradation of global economic conditions, creating an increase in the volatility and the timing and level of orders; supply chain disruptions, material shortages, and increases in the costs of components; changes in labor force availability, which could reduce our ability to operate across our business in development, sales and marketing, production, installation, and ongoing service and support; an increased risk of being subject to contract performance claims if we are unable to deliver according to the terms of our contracts or commitments and cannot claim force majeure to mitigate or eliminate our exposure to such claims; increased geographic work restrictions that could impact our ability to market, sell, manufacture and/or install our products; an increase in our exposure to claims or litigation relating to the pandemic; limitations on our ability to meet the terms of our bank credit agreements that cause restrictions on our ability to access the liquidity under such agreements; reduced access to and an increase in the cost of capital; reduced access to surety bonds or bank guarantees to secure customer orders; volatility and changes in foreign currency rates; delayed timing of collections and/or decreased collectability of receivables and contract assets; and a material reduction to the values of our assets including, but not limited to, inventory, deferred tax assets, goodwill, intangibles, and property and equipment.
-14-
To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had, but may in the future have, an unfavorable impact on certain areas of our business. The broader implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations remain uncertain and will depend on certain developments, including the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic; the availability, distribution, and effectiveness of vaccines to address the COVID-19 virus; and any change in trends on how people gather. The impact on our customers and suppliers and the range of governmental and community reactions to the pandemic are uncertain. To the extent that our customers and suppliers are adversely impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, this could reduce the availability, or result in delays in the delivery, of materials or supplies, or delays in customer payments and orders, which in turn could materially interrupt our business operations and/or impact our liquidity. Site closures or project delays have occurred and have required increased social distancing and health-related precautions in our manufacturing facilities and many work sites, which may cause additional project delays and additional costs to be incurred. COVID-19 could disrupt our operations due to absenteeism by infected or ill employees or other employees who elect not to come to work due to the illness or due to quarantines.
Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Capital Requirements
We have incurred losses for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and there can be no assurance that we will generate net income
For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 we had a net loss of $6,250,956 and $24,434,336, respectively. There can be no assurance that our losses will not continue in the future, even if our revenues and expenditures for the products and solutions we sell and distribute increase. In addition, as of June 30, 2022, we had stockholders' deficit of approximately $2,231,189 and cash used in operations of approximately $1,178,009. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our historical operating results indicate substantial doubt exists related to our ability to operate as a going concern.
We have incurred net losses and used significant cash in operating activities since inception, and we expect to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2022, we have an accumulated deficit of $54,182,084 and cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $300,899. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and to satisfy our estimated liquidity needs for twelve months from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. Our consolidated audited financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern for the next twelve months. Our management concluded that our recurring losses from operations and the fact that we have not generated significant revenue or positive cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months after issuance of our financial statements. Our auditors also included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022 with respect to this uncertainty. If we continue to experience operating losses, and we are not able to generate additional liquidity through a capital raise or other cash infusion, we might need to secure additional sources of funds, which may or may not be available to us. If we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, we may have to further scale back or discontinue the development of our product candidates or other research and development initiatives or initiate steps to cease operations.
We require funds to operate and expand our business
During the year ended June 30, 2022, our operating activities used net cash of $1,178,009 and our cash was $300,899 at June 30, 2022. During the year ended June 30, 2021, our operating activities used net cash of approximately $6,316,265 and our cash and cash equivalents was $541,591. As of June 30, 2022, our accumulated deficit totaled approximately $54,182,084 on a consolidated basis. Although we have been able to mitigate our losses in the past, we expect to incur additional operating losses in the future and therefore expect our cumulative losses to increase. We will require funds to purchase additional inventories, pay our vendors, and build our marketing and sales staff. If we do not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to expand our business and could default on our obligations. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available and that the equity interests of all of our stockholders would not be substantially diluted. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity or debt securities, which will have a dilutive effect on our stockholders. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that may impact our ability to conduct our business. Our ability to raise capital through the sale of securities may be limited by the rules of the SEC and the terms of the agreements that we enter into. We currently do not have any committed sources of financing other than our accounts receivable factoring agreement, which requires us to meet certain conditions to utilize and there can be no assurance that we will meet those conditions.
-15-
We have identified a material weakness in our internal controls, and we cannot provide assurances that this weakness will be effectively remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not occur in the future.
If our internal control over financial reporting or our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results, prevent fraud, or file our periodic reports in a timely manner, which may cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and may lead to a decline in our stock price. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a- 15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management concluded that there is a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weakness relates to the fact that our management is relying on external consultants for purposes of preparing its financial reporting package; however, the officers may not be able to identify errors and irregularities in the financial reporting package before its release as a continuous disclosure document. Because of the material weakness described above, management concluded that, as of June 30, 2022 our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO (2013). There has been no change in our internal controls that occurred during our most recent fiscal period that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal controls.
Our failure to fulfill all our registration requirements in connection with our previously notes and warrants may cause us to suffer liquidated damages, which may be very costly.
Pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase rights agreement that we entered into in connection with our issuance in August 2022 of 12% promissory notes due August 31, 2023 and related warrants, we are required to (i) file a registration statement with respect to securities underlying the notes and warrants within thirty days following the later of: our consummation of an uplist offering (as deifned in the notes) or the maturity date of the notes; (ii) cause the registration statement to be declared effective within ninety days of its filing and (iii) maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement. The failure to do so could result in the payment of liquidated damages by us, which could be significant. There can be no assurance given that we will be able to cause any registration statement to be declared effective within ninety days of its filing or maintain the effectiveness of any registration statement, and therefore there can be no assurance that we will not incur damages with respect to such agreements.
Risks Related to our Business
We have pursued and may continue to pursue acquisitions, joint ventures, or other growth opportunities, which could present unforeseen integration obstacles or costs and could dilute our stockholders. We may also face competition in our acquisition strategy, and such competition may limit our number of proposed acquisitions, joint ventures, and other growth opportunities.
We intend to build our business through the acquisition of other businesses in our industry as we have done in the past. The process of integrating any acquired business may create unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures and is itself risky. Any future acquisitions, joint ventures or other growth opportunities will be subject to a number of challenges.
● | diversion of management time and resources as well as a shift of focus from operating the businesses to issues related to integration and administration, which could result in the potential disruption of our ongoing business; | ||
● | the need to integrate each company’s accounting, management, information, human resources, and other administrative systems to permit effective management, and the lack of control if such integration is delayed or not implemented; | ||
● | the need to implement controls, procedures, and policies appropriate for a larger public company at companies that prior to acquisition had lacked such controls, procedures, and policies; | ||
● | difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures, and policies; | ||
● | difficulties in managing operations in widely disparate time zones; | ||
● | potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses, including liability for activities of the acquired company before the acquisition, including violations of laws, rules and regulations, commercial disputes, tax liabilities and other known and unknown liabilities; | ||
● | difficulty retaining key alliances on attractive terms with partners and suppliers; | ||
● | declining employee morale and retention issues resulting from changes in compensation, or changes in management, reporting relationships, future prospects or the direction or culture of the business; | ||
● | in the case of foreign acquisitions, the need to integrate operations across different cultures and languages and to address the particular economic, currency, political, and regulatory risks associated with specific countries; and | ||
● | in some cases, the need to transition operations, end-users, and customers onto our existing platforms. |
-16-
Failure to manage expansion effectively may affect our success in executing our business plan and may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operation. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of any or all of our acquisitions or may not realize them in the time frame expected. Future acquisitions or mergers may require us to issue additional equity securities, spend our cash, or incur debt, and amortization expenses related to intangible assets or write-offs of goodwill, any of which could adversely affect our results of operations.
We may have difficulty in entering and maintaining strategic alliances with third parties.
We have entered into and we may continue to enter into strategic alliances with third parties to gain access to new and innovative technologies and markets. These parties are often large, established companies. Negotiating and performing under these arrangements involves significant time and expense, and we may not have sufficient resources to devote to our strategic alliances, particularly those with companies that have significantly greater financial and other resources than we do. The anticipated benefits of these arrangements may never materialize and performing under these arrangements may adversely affect our results of operations.
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations, which may cause our operating results to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and adversely affect our working capital and liquidity throughout the year.
We expect quarterly fluctuations in our revenues and operating results to continue. These fluctuations could result in volatility and adversely affect our cash flow, working capital and liquidity. As our business grows, we expect these seasonal fluctuations may become more pronounced. Traditionally, the bulk of expenditures by school districts occur in the second and third calendar quarters after receipt of budget allocations. Because our revenues and operating results are driven largely by the purchasing cycles of the educational market and normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in our business sequential quarterly comparisons of our financial results may not provide an accurate assessment of our financial position.
Our working capital requirements and cash flows are subject to fluctuation, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.
If we are unable to manage fluctuations in cash flow, our business, operating results, and financial condition may be materially adversely affected. Our working capital requirements and cash flows have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, subject to seasonal fluctuations, depending on several factors. Factors which could result in fluctuations in our working capital and cash flows include:
| |
● | the quantity of product and service sales revenue achieved; |
● | the margins achieved on sales of products and services; |
● | the timing and collection of receivables; |

We operate in a highly competitive industry.
The interactive learning technology industry in which we operate is highly competitive and characterized by frequent product introductions and rapid technological advances that have substantially increased the capabilities and use of interactive projectors, interactive whiteboards, and microcomputer-based logging technologies and combinations of them. We face substantial competition from developers, manufacturers and distributors of interactive learning products and solutions, including interactive projectors, interactive whiteboards, and microcomputer data logging products.
Many of these competitors have, and our potential competitors may have, significantly greater financial and other resources than we do and have spent, and may continue to spend, significant amounts of resources to try to enter or expand their presence in the market. These companies may manufacture and/or distribute new, disruptive or substitute products that compete for the pool of available funds that previously could have been spent on interactive displays and associated products. In addition, low-cost competitors have appeared in China and other countries. We may not be able to compete effectively against these current and future competitors. Increased competition or other competitive pressures have and may continue to result in price reductions, reduced margins, or loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Some of our customers are required to purchase equipment by soliciting proposals from a number of sources and, in some cases, are required to purchase from the lowest bidder. While we attempt to price our products competitively based upon the relative features they offer, our competitors' prices and other factors, we are often not the lowest bidder and, in such cases, may lose sales. For example, we have observed sales of tablet computers by competitors to school districts in the U.S. whose technology budgets could otherwise have been used to purchase interactive displays.
Competitors may be able to respond to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements more effectively and faster than we can or devote greater resources to the development, promotion, and sale of products than we can. Current and potential competitors may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties, including through mergers or acquisitions, to increase the ability of their products to address the needs of customers. If these interactive display competitors or other substitute or alternative technology competitors acquire significantly increased market share, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
If we are unable to continually enhance our products and to develop, introduce and sell new technologies and products at competitive prices and in a timely manner, our business will be harmed.
Our future success will depend upon our ability to enhance our products and to develop, introduce and sell new technologies and products offering enhanced performance and functionality at competitive prices and in a timely manner and market acceptance of any new products. If we are unable, for any reason, to enhance, develop, introduce, and sell new products in a timely manner, or at all, in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements or otherwise, our business will be harmed.
The development of new technologies and products involves time, substantial costs, and risks. Our ability to successfully develop new technologies will depend in large measure on our ability to maintain a technically skilled research and development staff and to adapt to technological changes and advances in the industry. The success of new product introductions depends on a number of factors, including timely and successful product development, market acceptance, the effective management of purchase commitments and inventory levels in line with anticipated product demand, the availability of components in appropriate quantities and costs to meet anticipated demand, the risk that new products may have quality or other defects and our ability to manage distribution and production issues related to new product introductions. If we are unsuccessful in selling the new products that we develop and introduce, or any future products that we may develop, we may carry obsolete inventory and have reduced available working capital for the development of other new technologies and products.

We rely on highly skilled personnel, and, if we are unable to attract, retain or motivate qualified personnel, we may not be able to operate our business effectively.
If any of our employees leaves us, and we fail to effectively manage a transition to new personnel, or if we fail to attract and retain qualified and experienced professionals on acceptable terms, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Our success depends in large part on continued employment of senior management and key personnel who can effectively operate our business, as well as our ability to attract and retain skilled employees. Competition for highly skilled management, technical, research and development and other employees is intense in the high-technology industry and we may not be able to attract or retain highly qualified personnel in the future. In making employment decisions, particularly in the high-technology industry, job candidates often consider the value of the equity awards they would receive in connection with their employment.
Inasmuch as our products are installed in many states throughout the United States, our employment needs include the hiring of skilled installers in several states and we are subject to the employment laws of many states. Our long-term incentive programs may not be attractive enough or perform sufficiently to attract or retain qualified personnel.
Our success also depends on our having highly trained financial, technical, recruiting, sales and marketing personnel. We will need to continue to hire additional personnel as our business grows. A shortage in the number of people with these skills or our failure to attract them to our company could impede our ability to increase revenues from our existing products and services, ensure full compliance with federal and state regulations, or launch new product offerings and would have an adverse effect on our business and financial results.
Our businesses are geographically concentrated and could be significantly affected by any adverse change in the regions in which we operate.
Historically, our business operations have been located primarily throughout the Southeast region of the United States. While we expand our business to new geographic areas, we are still highly concentrated in the United States. Because we derived all of our total revenues on a consolidated basis for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 from our operations in the United States, our business is exposed to adverse regulatory and competitive changes, economic downturns and changes in political conditions in the United States. If we are unable to identify and successfully manage or mitigate these risks, our businesses, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially adversely affected.
For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we generated a significant portion of our revenue from a limited number of customers.
For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, three customers that accounted for approximately 66% and two customers that accounted for approximately 50%, respectively of our revenue and 77% and 73%, respectively of our accounts receivable. If we were to lose either of these customers our business would be significantly adversely impacted.
We are dependent upon a limited number of third party manufacturers and key suppliers for the components used in our products. Our suppliers may not be able to always supply components or products to us on a timely basis and on favorable terms, and as a result, our dependency on third party suppliers has adversely affected our revenue and may continue to do so.
We are subject to disruptions in our operations if our limited supply contract manufacturers decrease or stop production of components and products, or if such suppliers and contract manufacturers do not produce components and products of sufficient quantity. We do not manufacture any of the raw materials for the products we sell and distribute and are dependent upon a limited number of suppliers for all products and components. We depend on obtaining adequate supplies of quality components on a timely basis with favorable terms, and some of those components, as well as certain complete products that we sell are provided to us by only one supplier or contract manufacturer. Alternative sources for our components are not always available. Approximately 60% of our products and components are manufactured overseas, so they have long lead times, and events such as local disruptions, natural disasters or political conflict may cause unexpected interruptions to the supply of our products or components.
-19-
For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we had three vendors that accounted for approximately 83% and 75% of purchases.
In addition, reliance on third-party manufacturers and suppliers entails risks to which we would not be subject if we manufactured the components for our products ourselves, including:
● | reliance on the third parties for regulatory compliance and quality assurance; | |
● | the possible breach of the manufacturing agreements by the third parties because of factors beyond our control or the insolvency of any of these third parties or other financial difficulties, labor unrest, natural disasters or other factors adversely affecting their ability to conduct their business; and | |
● | possibility of termination or non-renewal of the agreements by the third parties, at a time that is costly or inconvenient for us, because of our breach of the manufacturing agreement or based on their own business priorities. |
If our contract manufacturer or its suppliers fail to deliver the required commercial quantities of our components required for our products on a timely basis and at commercially reasonable prices, and we are unable to find one or more replacement manufacturers or suppliers capable of production at a substantially equivalent cost, in substantially equivalent volumes and quality, and on a timely basis, we would likely be unable to meet demand for our products, and we would lose potential revenue. It may also take a significant period of time to establish an alternative source of supply for our components
Long lead times, supply shortages, and supply changes could disrupt our supply chain and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.
Meeting customer demand partially depends on our ability to obtain timely and adequate delivery of components for our products. As demand for our products increases, in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced temporary supply chain delays also related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of the components that go into the manufacturing of our products are sourced from a limited number of third-party suppliers. Our manufacturers generally purchase these components on our behalf, subject to certain approved supplier lists, and neither we nor our manufacturers have long-term arrangements with most of our component suppliers. We are therefore subject to the risk of shortages and long lead times in the supply of these components and the risk that our suppliers discontinue or modify components used in our products. In addition, the lead times associated with certain components are lengthy and preclude rapid changes in design, quantities, and delivery schedules. We may in the future experience component shortages, and the predictability of the availability of these components may be limited. In the event of a component shortage or supply interruption from suppliers of these components, we may not be able to develop alternate sources in a timely manner. Developing alternate sources of supply for these components may be time-consuming, difficult, and costly and we may not be able to source these components on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all, which may undermine our ability to fill our orders in a timely manner. Any interruption or delay in the supply of any of these parts or components, or the inability to obtain these parts or components from alternate sources at acceptable prices and within a reasonable amount of time, would harm our ability to meet our scheduled product deliveries to our customers.
Moreover, volatile economic conditions may make it more likely that our suppliers may be unable to timely deliver supplies, or at all, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to timely locate alternative suppliers of comparable quality at an acceptable price. The loss of a significant supplier, an increase in component costs, or delays or disruptions in the delivery of components, could adversely impact our ability to generate future revenue and earnings and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.
-20-
We are currently subject to market prices for the components that we purchase, which are subject to fluctuation beyond our control. An increase in the price of components used in our products could result in an increase in costs to our customers and could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and demand for our products.
Interruptions in our ability to procure needed components for our systems, whether due to discontinuance by our suppliers, delays or failures in delivery, shortages caused by inadequate production capacity, the COVID-19 pandemic or unavailability, financial failure, manufacturing quality, or for other reasons, would adversely affect or limit our sales and growth. There is no assurance that we will continue to find qualified manufacturers on acceptable terms and, if we do, there can be no assurance that product quality will continue to be acceptable, which could lead to a loss of sales and revenues.
Our business is subject to the risks associated with doing business in China.
As a result of our reliance on third-party manufacturers and suppliers located in China, our results of operations, financial condition, and prospects are subject to a significant degree to economic, political, and legal developments in China including government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to us. China’s economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including with respect to the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate and control of foreign exchange, and allocation of resources. Since we rely on a third-party manufacturer located in China for certain of our parts, our business is subject to the risks associated with doing business in China, including:
● | adverse political and economic conditions, particularly those potentially negatively affecting the trade relationship between the United States and China; | |
● | trade protection measures, such as tariff increases, and import and export licensing and control requirements; | |
● | potentially negative consequences from changes in tax laws; | |
● | difficulties associated with the Chinese legal system, including increased costs and uncertainties associated with enforcing contractual obligations in China; | |
● | historically lower protection of intellectual property rights; | |
● | changes and volatility in currency exchange rates; | |
● | unexpected or unfavorable changes in regulatory requirements; and | |
● | difficulties in managing foreign relationships and operations generally. |
These risks are likely to be exacerbated by our limited experience with our current products and manufacturing processes. If demand for our products materializes, we may have to invest additional resources to purchase materials, hire and train employees, and enhance our manufacturing processes. It may not be possible for us to manufacture our product at a cost or in quantities sufficient to make our product commercially viable. Any of these factors may affect our ability to manufacture our products and could reduce gross margins and profitability.
-21-
In the past, the U.S. Government has imposed tariffs on products manufactured in China and imported into the United States causing the prices for such products to increase. This could cause customer demand for our products to decrease.
Although the components of our products that are manufactured in China are currently exempt from the tariffs on products manufactured in China, if the exemption were to no longer be available to such products, the imposition of tariffs on our products would most likely cause prices to rise, which would generally increase the price for our products, potentially impact our gross margins, all of which may cause a reduction in demand.
Changes in general economic conditions, geopolitical conditions, domestic and foreign trade policies, monetary policies and other factors beyond our control may adversely impact our business and operating results.
Our operations and performance depend on global, regional and U.S. economic and geopolitical conditions. Russia’s invasion and military attacks on Ukraine have triggered significant sanctions from U.S. and European leaders. These events are currently escalating and creating increasingly volatile global economic conditions. Resulting changes in U.S. trade policy could trigger retaliatory actions by Russia, its allies and other affected countries, including China, resulting in a “trade war.” Furthermore, if the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues for a long period of time, or if other countries, including the U.S., become further involved in the conflict, we could face significant adverse effects to our business and financial condition.
The above factors, including a number of other economic and geopolitical factors both in the U.S. and abroad, could ultimately have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, including the following:
● | effects of significant changes in economic, monetary and fiscal policies in the U.S. and abroad including currency fluctuations, inflationary pressures and significant income tax changes; | |
● | supply chain disruptions; | |
● | a global or regional economic slowdown in any of our market segments; | |
● | changes in government policies and regulations affecting the Company or its significant customers; | |
● | industrial policies in various countries that favor domestic industries over multinationals or that restrict foreign companies altogether; | |
● | new or stricter trade policies and tariffs enacted by countries, such as China, in response to changes in U.S. trade policies and tariffs; | |
● | postponement of spending, in response to tighter credit, financial market volatility and other factors; | |
● | rapid material escalation of the cost of regulatory compliance and litigation; | |
● | difficulties protecting intellectual property; | |
● | longer payment cycles; | |
● | credit risks and other challenges in collecting accounts receivable; and | |
● | the impact of each of the foregoing on outsourcing and procurement arrangements. |
-22-
Our facilities and information systems and those of our key suppliers could be damaged as a result of disasters or unpredictable events, which could have an adverse effect on our business operations.
Our logistics are currently provided by our Toccoa, Georgia, our Broomfield, Colorado, our Peoria, Arizona and our Jacksonville, Florida facilities and multiple import and freight carriers throughout the United States. Our suppliers for original design manufacturing (“ODM”) and original equipment manufacturing (“OEM”) are located in the United States, China, and Taiwan. If major disasters such as earthquakes, fires, floods, wars, terrorist attacks, computer viruses, transportation disasters or other events occur in any of these locations, or our information systems or communications network or those of any of our key component suppliers breaks down or operates improperly as a result of such events, our facilities or those of our key suppliers may be seriously damaged, and we may have to stop or delay production and shipment of our products. We may also incur expenses relating to such damages. If production or shipment of our products or components is stopped or delayed or if we incur any increased expenses as a result of damage to our facilities, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
The loss of key management personnel could adversely affect our business.
Our business is significantly dependent upon Gary LeCroy and Magen McGahee, who are primarily responsible for our day-to-day operations and we believe our success depends in part on our ability to retain our executive officers, to compensate our executive officers at attractive levels, and to continue to attract additional qualified individuals to our management team. We cannot guarantee continued service by our key executive officers. The loss or limitation of the services of any of our executive officers or the inability to attract additional qualified management personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Director and our Chief Financial Officer and Director will have significant influence over us.
Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer/Chief Operating Officer initially were issued 85% of our outstanding voting stock. Pursuant to the employment agreements that we entered into with each of them in January 2020, as amended, we issued to them 51 shares of Series G Preferred Stock collectively, such that they together maintain 51% of our outstanding voting securities. Therefore, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer will have the ability to control our business affairs.
Product liability, warranty, and recall claims may materially affect our financial condition and damage our reputation.
We are engaged in a business that exposes us to claims for product liability and warranty claims in the event our products actually or allegedly fail to perform as expected or the use of our products results, or is alleged to result, in property damage, personal injury or death. Although we maintain product and general liability insurance of the types and in the amounts that we believe are customary for the industry, we are not fully insured against all such potential claims. Any judgment or settlement for personal injury or wrongful death claims could be more than our assets and, even if not justified, could prove expensive to contest.
We may experience legal claims in excess of our insurance coverage or claims that are not covered by insurance, either of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Adverse determination of material product liability and warranty claims made against us could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and harm our reputation. In addition, if any of our products or components in our products are, or are alleged to be, defective, we may be required to participate in a recall of that product or component if the defect or alleged defect relates to safety. Any such recall and other claims could be costly to us and require substantial management attention.
Significant product repair and/or replacement due to product warranty claims or product recalls could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
We offer limited warranties on our products, ranging for 0 to 5 years against failure due to defective parts of workmanship. To date expenses due to warranty claims have been minimal.
Although we employ quality control procedures, sometimes a product is distributed that needs repair or replacement. The repair and replacement costs we could incur in connection with a recall could adversely affect our business. In addition, product recalls could harm our reputation and cause us to lose customers, particularly if recalls cause consumers to question the safety or reliability of our products.
-23-
Risks Related to our Industry and Regulations
Decreases in, or stagnation of, spending or changes in the spending policies or budget priorities for government funding of schools, colleges, universities, other education providers or government agencies may have a material adverse effect on our revenue.
Any decrease in, stagnation of or adverse change in national, federal, state, provincial or local funding for primary and secondary schools, colleges, universities, or other education providers or other industries that use our products could cause our current and prospective customers to reduce their purchases of our products, which could cause us to lose revenue. Our customers include primary and secondary schools, colleges, universities, other education providers which depend heavily on government funding. Many federal, state, and local governments have limited fiscal capacity and have experienced recent declines in tax revenues. Many of those governments have reacted to the decreases in tax revenues and could continue to react to the decreases in tax revenues by cutting funding to educational institutions. If our products are not a high priority expenditure for such institutions, or if such institutions allocate expenditures to substitute or alternative technologies, we could lose revenue. In addition, a specific reduction in governmental funding support for products such as ours could also cause us to lose revenue.
If our products fail to comply with consumer product or environmental laws, it could materially affect our financial performance.
If our products do not meet applicable safety or regulatory standards, we could experience lost sales, diverted resources and increased costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Our products are subject to environmental regulations in some jurisdictions in which we will do business, we are and will be required to comply with a variety of product safety, product testing and environmental regulations, including compliance with applicable laws and standards with respect to lead content and other child safety and environmental issues. Events that give rise to actual, potential or perceived product safety or environmental concerns could expose us to government enforcement action or private litigation and result in product recalls and other liabilities. In addition, negative consumer perceptions regarding the safety of our products could cause negative publicity and harm our reputation.
If we are unable to anticipate consumer preferences and successfully develop attractive products, we might not be able to maintain or increase our revenue or achieve profitability.
If we are unable to introduce new products or technologies in a timely manner or our new products or technologies are not accepted by our customers, our competitors may introduce more attractive products which would adversely impact our competitive position. Failure to respond in a timely manner to changing consumer preferences could lead to, among other things, lower revenues and excess inventory positions of outdated products. Our success depends on our ability to identify and originate product trends as well as to anticipate and react to change demands and preferences of customers in a timely manner.
We may be unable to keep pace with changes in technology as our business and market strategy evolves.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to respond successfully to technological change. We will need to respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards in a cost-effective and timely manner in order to remain competitive. The need to respond to technological changes may require us to make substantial, unanticipated expenditures.
-24-
Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property and Technology
We have limited protection for our intellectual property, which could impact our competitive position.
We intend to rely on a combination of common law copyright, patent, trademark, and trade secret laws and measures to protect our proprietary information. We currently have two issued patent and two pending patent applications; however, such protection does not prevent unauthorized use of such technology. Trademark and copyright protections may be limited, and enforcement could be too costly to be effective. It may also be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy aspects of, or otherwise obtain and use, our proprietary information without authorization, including, but not limited to, product design, software, customer and prospective customer lists, trade secrets, copyrights, patents and other proprietary rights and materials. Other parties can use and register confusingly similar business, product, and service names, as well as domain names, which could divert customers, resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
Intellectual property rights may also be unavailable or limited in some foreign countries, which could make it easier for competitors to capture market share. Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of certain countries, particularly certain developing countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents, trade secrets and other intellectual property protection, , which could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement of our patents or marketing of competing products in violation of our proprietary rights generally. Many countries have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grant licenses to third parties. In addition, many countries limit the enforceability of patents against government agencies or government contractors. In these countries, the patent owner may have limited remedies, which could materially diminish the value of the relevant patent rights. If we are forced to grant a license to third parties with respect to any patents relevant to our business, our competitive position may be impaired, and our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects may be adversely affected.
If we fail to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could suffer, which could harm our operating results. Competitors may challenge the validity or scope of our patents or future patents we may obtain. In addition, our patents may not provide us with a meaningful competitive advantage. We may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and police our intellectual property rights. We may not be able to detect infringement and our competitive position may be harmed. Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business, could put our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and our patent applications at risk of not issuing and could provoke third parties to assert claims against us. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate, and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. In addition, competitors may design around our technology or develop competing technologies.
-25-
We may not be able to obtain patents or other intellectual property rights necessary to protect our proprietary technology and business.
Our commercial success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to develop new or improved technologies and products, and to obtain patents or other intellectual property rights or statutory protection for these technologies and products in the United States and other countries. We will seek to patent concepts, components, processes, designs and methods, and other inventions and technologies that we consider have commercial value or that will likely give us a technological advantage. Despite devoting resources to the research and development of proprietary technology, we may not be able to develop technology that is patentable or protectable. Patents may not be issued in connection with pending patent applications, and claims allowed may not be sufficient to allow us or our customers to use the inventions that created exclusively. Furthermore, any patents issued could be challenged, re-examined, held invalid or unenforceable or circumvented and may not provide sufficient protection or a competitive advantage. In addition, despite efforts to protect and maintain patents, competitors and other third parties may be able to design around our patents or develop products similar to our products that are not within the scope of our patents.
Finally, patents provide certain statutory protection only for a limited period of time that varies depending on the jurisdiction and type of patent. The statutory protection term of certain patents may expire and, thereafter, the underlying technology of such patents can be used by any third-party including competitors.
Prosecution and protection of the rights sought in patent applications and patents can be costly and uncertain, often involve complex legal and factual issues and consume significant time and resources. In addition, the breadth of claims allowed in our patents, their enforceability, and our ability to protect and maintain them cannot be predicted with any certainty. The laws of certain countries may not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Even if our patents are held to be valid and enforceable in a certain jurisdiction, any legal proceedings that we may initiate against third parties to enforce such patents will likely be expensive, take significant time and divert management's attention from other business matters. We cannot assure that any of the issued patents or pending patent applications will provide any protectable, maintainable, or enforceable rights or competitive advantages to us.
In addition to patents, we will rely on a combination of copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and other related laws and confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect, maintain and enforce our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights. However, our ability to protect our brands by registering certain trademarks may be limited. In addition, while we will generally enter into confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with our employees, consultants, contract manufacturers, distributors, and resellers and with others to attempt to limit access to and distribution of our proprietary and confidential information, it is possible that:
● | misappropriation of our proprietary and confidential information, including technology, will nevertheless occur; |
● | our confidentiality agreements will not be honored or may be rendered unenforceable; |
● | third parties will independently develop equivalent, superior, or competitive technology or products; |
● | disputes will arise with our current or future strategic licensees, customers or others concerning the ownership, validity, enforceability, use, patentability or registrability of intellectual property; or |
● | unauthorized disclosure of our know-how, trade secrets or other proprietary or confidential information will occur. |
-26-
We cannot assure that we will be successful in protecting, maintaining or enforcing our intellectual property rights. If we are unsuccessful in protecting, maintaining, or enforcing our intellectual property rights, then our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected, which could:
● | adversely affect our relationships with current or future distributors and resellers of our products; | |
● | adversely affect our reputation with customers; | |
● | be time-consuming and expensive to evaluate and defend; | |
● | cause product shipment delays or stoppages; | |
● | divert management’s attention and resources; | |
● | subject us to significant liabilities and damages; | |
● | require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements; or | |
● | require us to cease certain activities, including the sale of products. |
If it is determined that we have infringed, violated or are infringing or violating a patent or other intellectual property right of any other person or if we are found liable in respect of any other related claim, then, in addition to being liable for potentially substantial damages, we may be prohibited from developing, using, distributing, selling or commercializing certain of our technologies and products unless we obtain a license from the holder of the patent or other intellectual property right. We cannot assure that we will be able to obtain any such license on a timely basis or on commercially favorable terms, or that any such licenses will be available, or that workarounds will be feasible and cost-efficient. If we do not obtain such a license or find a cost-efficient workaround, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected, and we could be required to cease related business operations in some markets and restructure our business to focus on our continuing operations in other markets.
Our business may suffer if it is alleged or determined that our technology or another aspect of our business infringes the intellectual property of others.
The markets in which we will compete are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and trade secrets and by litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. Moreover, in recent years, individuals and groups have purchased patents and other intellectual property assets for the purpose of making claims of infringement to extract settlements from companies like ours. Also, third parties may make infringement claims against us that relate to technology developed and owned by one of our suppliers for which our suppliers may or may not indemnify us. Even if we are indemnified against such costs, the indemnifying party may be unable to uphold its contractual obligations and determining the extent such of such obligations could require additional litigation. Claims of intellectual property infringement against us or our suppliers might require us to redesign our products, enter into costly settlements or license agreements, pay costly damage awards or face a temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting us from marketing or selling our products or services. If we cannot or do not license the infringed intellectual property on reasonable terms or at all, or substitute similar intellectual property from another source, our revenue and operating results could be adversely impacted. Additionally, our customers and distributors may not purchase our offerings if they are concerned that they may infringe third party intellectual property rights. Responding to such claims, regardless of their merit, can be time consuming, costly to defend in litigation, divert management's attention and resources, damage our reputation, and cause us to incur significant expenses. The occurrence of any of these events may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Future sales of our common stock could adversely affect our share price, and any additional capital raised by us through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities may dilute your ownership in us and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We intend, from time to time, to seek additional equity or debt financing to finance working capital requirements, continue our expansion, develop new products, or make acquisitions or other investments. In addition, we have issued convertible securities that are convertible into shares of our common stock. In addition, if our business plans change, general economic, financial or political conditions in our industry change, or other circumstances arise that have a material effect on our cash flow, the anticipated cash needs of our business, as well as our conclusions as to the adequacy of our available sources of capital, could change significantly. Any of these events or circumstances could result in significant additional funding needs, requiring us to raise additional capital. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity shares, preferred shares or debt securities, the terms of such securities could impose restrictions on our operations and would reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, or at all, we may be unable to expand our business or to develop new business at the rate desired and our results of operations may suffer.
The market price of our common stock may be volatile, which could cause the value of your investment to fluctuate and possibly decline significantly.
The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. Our financial performance, government regulatory action, tax laws and market conditions in general could have a significant impact on the future market price of our common stock. Investors may not be able to resell your shares at or above the current price due to a number of factors such as those listed under this "Risk Factors" section. Some of the factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in the price of our stock include:
● | our operating and financial performance and prospects; | |
● | our quarterly or annual earnings or those of other companies in our industry; | |
● | the public’s reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the SEC; | |
● | the failure of analysts to cover our common stock; | |
● | strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings; | |
● | announcements by us, our competitors or our vendors of significant contracts, acquisitions, joint marketing relationships, joint ventures, or capital commitments; | |
● | new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business; | |
● | changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles; | |
● | announcements by third parties or governmental entities of significant claims or proceedings against us; | |

Furthermore, the stock market has recently experienced volatility that, in some cases, has been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.
In the past, following periods of market volatility, stockholders have instituted securities class action litigation. If we were involved in securities litigation, it could have a substantial cost and divert resources and the attention of executive management from our business regardless of the outcome of such litigation.
The exercise or conversion of currently outstanding debt, warrants or preferred stock would further dilute holders of our common stock.
We currently have outstanding debt that could convert into shares of our common stock, preferred stock that converts into shares of our common stock and warrants exercisable for shares of our common stock. Our Series F Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock at the fixed price of $0.37 per share, subject to adjustments. Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of our shareholders, to issue shares of common and preferred stock. Our outstanding notes contain provisions that provide for the adjustment of the conversion price under certain circumstances. In addition, the securities purchase agreement that we entered into also provides for the issuance of additional commitment shares under certain circumstances. We may issue shares of our common stock or preferred stock to complete a business combination or to raise capital. Such stock issuances could be made at a price that reflects a discount from the then-current trading price of our common stock. These conversions and issuances would dilute our stockholders' ownership interest, which among other things would have the effect of reducing their influence on matters on which our stockholders vote. In addition, our stockholders and prospective investors may incur additional dilution if holders of stock options and warrants, whether currently outstanding or subsequently granted, exercise their options or warrants to purchase shares of our common stock or if our convertible debt holders convert their debt.
Future sales of common stock by our officers and directors and principal stockholders or others of our common stock, or the perception that such sales may occur, could depress the market price of our common stock.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and may make it more difficult to sell common stock at a time and price that you deem appropriate.
Certain Provisions of Nevada law may have anti-takeover effects.
Certain provisions of Nevada law applicable to our company could also delay or make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving our Company, including Sections 78.411 through 78.444 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, which prohibit a Nevada corporation from engaging in any business combination with any “interested stockholder” (as defined in the statute) for a period of two years unless certain conditions are met. In addition, our senior management is entitled to certain payments upon a change in control and certain of the restricted shares we have granted provide for the acceleration of vesting in the event of a change in control of our Company.
Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents, and under Nevada law, could make an acquisition of our company more difficult, limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management and limit the market price of our common stock.
-29-
Provisions in our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will include provisions that:
● | authorize our board of directors to issue, without further action by the stockholders, shares of preferred stock with terms, rights, and preferences determined by our board of directors that may be senior to our common stock; | |
● | specify that special meetings of our stockholders can be called only by a majority of our board of directors; | |
● | prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors; and | |
● | provide that vacancies on our board of directors may be filled only by a majority of directors then in office, even though less than a quorum. |
Any of the foregoing provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock, and they could deter potential acquirers of our company, thereby reducing the likelihood that you would receive a premium for your shares of our common stock in an acquisition.
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws provide for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense, which may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our stockholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers or directors.
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that any person who was or is a party or was or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent then permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada against reasonably incurred expenses of suit, litigation or other proceedings which is specifically permissible under applicable law, except with respect to matters as to which it is adjudged that such person was liable to the Company for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty. These indemnification obligations may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our stockholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers or directors.
We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with our activities, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question whether indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this matter if it were to occur is likely to be very costly and may result in us receiving negative publicity, either of which factors is likely to materially reduce the market and price for our shares.
We do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation of our business and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors. Consequently, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment in our company will be if the market price of our common stock appreciates and you sell your shares at a profit. For additional information about our dividend policy, see the section entitled “Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchase of Equity—Dividend Policy” elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Galaxy's product offerings include Galaxy's own private-label interactive touch screen panel, its own Intercom, Bell, and Paging solution, Emergency Communication platform, as well as an audio amplification line of products that is currently supported direct and by OEM relationships. Galaxy's distribution channel consists of a direct sales model, as well as approximately 44 resellers across the U.S. who primarily sell the products offered by Galaxy within the commercial and educational market. Galaxy does not control where the resellers focus their reselling efforts; however, the K-12 education market is the largest customer base for Galaxy products comprising nearly 90% of Galaxy's sales. In addition, Galaxy’s OEM division also manufacturers products for other vendors in its industry and white labels the products under other brands.
We believe the market space for interactive technology in the classroom is a perpetual highway of business opportunity, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic as school systems have sought to expand their ability to operate remotely. Public and private school systems are in a continuous race to modernize their learning environments. Our goal is to be an early provider of the best and most modern technology available.
We are striving to become the leader in the market for interactive flat panel technology, associated software, and peripheral devices for classrooms. Our goal is to provide an intuitive system to enhance the learning environment and create easy to use technology for the teacher, increasing student engagement and achievement. Our products are developed and backed by a management team with more than 30 combined years in the classroom technology space.
We were originally organized as a corporation in 2001. Our principal executive offices are located at 285 Big A Road Toccoa, Georgia 30577, and our telephone number is (706) 391-5030. Our website address is www.galaxynext.us. Information contained in our website does not form part of this Annual Report and is intended for informational purposes only.
On June 22, 2018, we consummated a reverse triangular merger whereby Galaxy Next Generation, Inc., a private company (co-founded by our now executives, Gary LeCroy (CEO) and Magen McGahee (CFO)), merged with and into our newly formed subsidiary, Galaxy MS, Inc. (Galaxy MS or Merger Sub), which was formed specifically for the transaction. Under the terms of the merger, the private company shareholders transferred all their outstanding shares of common stock to Galaxy MS, in return for shares of our Series C Preferred Stock. Prior to the merger, we operated under the name Full Circle Registry, Inc.’s (FLCR) and our operations were based upon our ownership of Georgetown 14 Cinemas, a fourteen-theater movie complex located on approximately seven acres in Indianapolis, Indiana. Prior to the merger, our sole business and source of revenue was from the operation of the theater, and as part of the merger agreement, we had the right to spinout the theater to the prior shareholders of FLCR. Effective February 6, 2019, we sold our interest in the theater to focus our resources on our technology operations.
On September 3, 2019, we acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of both Interlock Concepts, Inc. (Concepts) and Ehlert Solutions Group, Inc. (Solutions) pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase agreement that we entered into with Concepts and Solutions. The purchase price for the acquisition was 1,350,000 shares of common stock and a two year note payable to the seller in the principal amount of $3,000,000. The note payable to the seller is subject to adjustment based on the achievement of certain future earnings goals and successful completion of certain pre-acquisition withholding tax issues of Concepts and Solutions. The note has been adjusted and is reflecting under related party notes payable in the consolidated financial statements.

Intercom, public announcement (PA), bell and control solutions are easily added and integrated within the open architecture design and software model. These products combine elements over a common internet protocol (IP) network, which minimizes infrastructure requirements and reduces costs by combining systems.
On October 15, 2020, we acquired the assets of Classroom Technologies Solutions, Inc. ("Classroom Tech") for consideration of (a) paying off a secured Classroom Tech loan, not to exceed the greater of 50% of the value of the Classroom Tech assets acquired or $120,000; (b) the issuance of a promissory note in the amount of $44,526 to a Classroom Tech designee; and (c) the issuance of 10 million shares (50,000 shares after reverse split) of common stock to the seller of Classroom Tech. Classroom Tech provides cutting-edge presentation products to schools, training facilities, churches, corporations and retail establishments. Their high-quality solutions are customized to meet a variety of needs and budgets in order to provide the best in education and presentation technology.

Reverse Stock Split
Effective March 7, 2022, we effected a one-for-two hundred reverse stock split of our authorized and outstanding shares of common stock. All per share numbers reflect the one-for-two hundred reverse stock split.
Recent Events
On August 31, 2022, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with an investor pursuant to which we issued a 12% promissory note in the principal amount of $900,000 (the “Note”) for net proceeds of $765,000, together with a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “Warrant Shares”) and an agreement to issue 3,000,000 shares of our common stock to the investor as commitment fee shares (the “Commitment Fee Shares”) in respect of a $450,000 commitment fee. We applied $400,000 of the proceeds from the sale of the Note and the Warrant to repay principal and interest obligations accrued under a 12% Promissory Note, dated June 21, 2022, issued by us in the principal amount of $600,000 to the investor.
The Note bears interest at 12% per annum and is due and payable on August 31, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”). Any amount of principal or interest on the Note which is not paid when due will bear default interest at the rate of the lesser of (i) eighteen percent (18%) per annum and (ii) the maximum amount permitted under law. In the event we receive gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000 in connection with any debt or equity financing, we have agreed to apply a portion of the proceeds from such financing to repay the Note in full.
-33-
The Note is convertible in the event of a default into common stock at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) equal to the lowest trading price (i) during the previous twenty (20) trading day period ending on the date of issuance of the Note, or (ii) during the previous twenty (20) trading day period ending on the conversion date. If in the case that our common stock is not deliverable by DWAC, an additional 10% discount will apply for all future conversions until DWAC delivery becomes available. If in the case that our common stock is “chilled” for deposit into the DTC system and only eligible for clearing deposit, an additional 15% discount will apply for all future conversions under all Note until such chill is lifted. Additionally, if we cease to be a 1934 Act reporting company or if the Note cannot be converted into free trading shares after one hundred eighty-one (181) days from the issue date (other than as a result of the holder’s status as our affiliate), an additional 15% discount will be attributed to the conversion price. If we fail to maintain its status as “DTC Eligible” for any reason, the principal amount of the Note will increase by $5,000 and the conversion price will be redefined to mean 70% multiplied by the market price of the common stock.
So long as the Note is outstanding, upon any issuance by us or any of our subsidiaries of any security with any term more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that was not similarly provided to the holder of the Note, then we shall notify the holder of such additional or more favorable term and such term, at holder’s option, will become a part of the transaction documents with the holder. If while the Note is outstanding a third party has the right to convert monies owed into common stock at a discount to market greater than the Conversion Price in effect at that time (before all other applicable adjustments in the Note), then the holder, in holder’s sole discretion, may utilize such greater discount percentage. In no event will the holder be entitled to convert any portion of the Note in excess of that portion which would result in beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock.
So long as we have any obligation under the Note, we may not, without the holder’s written consent, create, incur, assume guarantee, or otherwise become liable upon the obligation of any person or entity, except by the endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection, or suffer to exist any liability for borrowed money, except (a) borrowings in existence or committed on the date the Note was issued and of which the Company has informed holder, (b) indebtedness to trade creditors financial institutions or other lenders incurred in the ordinary course of business, (c) borrowings, the proceeds of which shall be used to repay the Note, or (d) borrowings which are expressly subordinated to the Note.
Upon the occurrence of certain events of default specified in the Note, such as a failure to honor a conversion request, failure to maintain our listing or our failure to comply with its obligations under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 200% of all amounts owed to holder under the Note, including default interest if any, shall then become due and payable. Upon the occurrence of other events of default specified in the Note, such as a breach of the Company’s representations or covenants or the failure register the Commitment Fee Shares as required by the Securities Purchase Agreement or the Warrant Shares as required by the Warrant, all amounts owed to holder under the Note, including default interest if any, shall then become due and payable. Further, if we fail to maintain its listing, fail to comply with its obligations under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or lose the “bid” price for its common stock for a period of five (5) days after written notice thereof to us, after the nine-month anniversary of the Note, then the principal amount of the Note will increase by $15,000 and the holder shall be entitled to use the lowest trading price during the delinquency period as a base price for the conversion and the conversion price shall be redefined to mean forty percent (40%) multiplied by the market price of the common stock.
-34-
The Warrant is exercisable, commencing on the earlier of (i) the date that is one hundred eighty-one (181) calendar days after its issuance date or (ii) the date that we consummate an Uplist Offering (as defined in this Warrant), for a period of five years at an initial exercise price of $.01, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends or similar event, provided, however, that if we consummates an Uplist Offering on or before the date that is one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after the issuance date, then the exercise price will equal the lower of (i) offering price per share of common stock (or unit, if units are offered in the Uplist Offering) at which the Uplist Offering is made or (ii) the exercise price of any warrant(s) issued by us in connection with the Uplist Offering. If while the Warrant is outstanding, we issue or sell, or are deemed to have issued or sold, any warrant or option to purchase common stock and/or common stock equivalents other than in connection with an exempt issuance (as defined), with a purchase price per share less than the exercise price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale, then immediately after such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale, the exercise price then in effect will be reduced to an amount equal to the new issuance price. In the event the Company fails to timely file a registration statement for the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant the Warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis. In no event will the holder be entitled to exercise any portion of the Warrant in excess of that portion which would result in beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock.
We agreed to include the shares exercisable upon exercise of the Warrant and the Commitment Fee Shares in a registration statement filed by us no later than the date that is thirty (30) days following the later of (i) the consummation of the Uplist Offering, or (ii) the Maturity Date, and to cause the registration statement to be declared effective within ninety (90) days of its filing.
The Securities Purchase Agreement provides that if we issue any shares of common stock at a price per share of less than $0.15 during the period beginning on the date which is the six (6) month anniversary of the closing date (the “Adjustment Period”), we will issue to investor additional Commitment Fee Shares such that the price per share of the aggregate amount of Commitment Fee Shares (including such additional Commitment Fee Shares) equals such lower price per share. The Securities Purchase Agreement further provides that the investor may elect during the Adjustment Period to provide us with a reconciliation statement showing the net proceeds actually received from the sale of the Commitment Fee Shares (the “Sale Reconciliation”). If, as of the date of the delivery by investor of the Sale Reconciliation, the investor has not realized net proceeds from the sale of such Commitment Fee Shares equal to at least the Commitment Fee, then the Company is obligated to pay, within five (5) business days, the applicable shortfall amount in cash or immediately take all required action necessary to cause the issuance of additional shares of common stock to the investor in an amount sufficient such that, when sold and the net proceeds thereof are added to the net proceeds from the sale of any of the previously issued and sold Commitment Fee Shares, the investor will have received total net funds equal to the Commitment Fee. The Securities Purchase Agreement provides that the Commitment Fee Shares shall be issued to the investor upon the earlier of: (i) the consummation of the Uplist Offering, (ii) August 31, 2023, or (iii) the repayment in full of the Company’s obligations under the Note.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management's Discussion and Analysis discusses our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
-35-
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition
We recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods to the customer in an amount the reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods in accordance with the provisions of ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”
Stock Compensation
We record stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions set forth in ASC 718. ASC 718 requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based upon the grant date fair value of those awards. We, from time to time, may issue common stock to acquire services or goods from non-employees. Common stock issued to persons other than employees or directors are recorded on the basis of their fair value.
Business Combinations
We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, acquired assets, including separately identifiable intangible assets, and any assumed liabilities are recorded at their acquisition date estimated fair value. The excess of purchase price over the fair value amounts assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed represents the goodwill amount resulting from the acquisition. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions.
Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for impairment at least annually, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Judgements regarding indicators of potential impairment are based on market conditions and operational performance of the business. If management concludes, based on its assessment of relevant events, facts and circumstances that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's carrying value is greater than its fair value, then a goodwill impairment charge is recognized for the amount in excess, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at the lower of cost or fair value. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight- line basis over periods ranging from two to six years, representing the period over which we expect to receive future economic benefits from these assets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
For a description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects, if any, on our consolidated financial statements, see Part II, Item 8, Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
Financial Results and Performance Metrics Overview
The table below presents an analysis of selected line items period-over-period in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods indicated.
Revenue
Total revenues recognized were $3,941,832 and $3,773,605 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of 4%. Additionally, deferred revenue amounted to $175,436 and $453,862 as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Revenues during the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 substantially consisted of revenues from sales of technology interactive panels and related products, bell paging and intercom system installations, and audio amplification OEM sales. Revenues increased during the year ended June 30, 2022 due to the increases in the customer base for our products, partially as a result of the pandemic, as well as additional revenues received through our OEM channel.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Our cost of sales was $3,387,490 and $2,077,342 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of approximately 63%. Cost of sales for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 consists primarily of manufacturing, freight, amortization of capitalized development costs, delivery and installation. Gross profit decreased due to amortization of capitalized development costs and increased costs for freight and delivery. In addition, we reduced pricing on certain products due to competition and our product mix changed to lower margin items in the current year. Our gross profit as a percentage of total revenues was 14% and 45% for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

| $ 7,868,529 |
Total general and administrative expenses were $5,281,293 and $7,868,529 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of approximately 33%. General and administrative expenses for the years ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 consist primarily of salaries and stock issued for consulting services and donation expenses, insurance, rent, marketing, travel, amortization, and professional fees. Of this amount, $172,852 and $2,778,550 represent stock issued for consulting services and donations, which did not impact cash, for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The decrease was due to the increase in costs capitalized for product development, and reductions of costs associated with remote and virtual tradeshows, professional fees and other cost savings strategies implemented by management.

The decrease in interest expense was due to the expiration of our equity purchase agreement and a reduction of notes payable.
-37-
During the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we amortized $91,143 and $382,436 of original issue debt discount on notes payable to interest accretion.
Net Loss for the Period
As a result of the foregoing, net loss incurred for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $6,250,956 and $24,434,336, respectively, a decrease of 74%. Noncash contributing factors for the net loss incurred for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:
a) $172,852 and $2,778,550 representing stock issued for consulting services and donation expenses for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
b) amortization of intangible assets and capitalized development costs for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 totaling $525,307 and $474,635, respectively; and
c) impairment charges taken of $195,346 and $0 on acquired assets for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than our commitments discussed in Note 10 to our audited financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date our revenues generated from operations have been insufficient to support our operational activities and have been supplemented by the proceeds from the issuance of securities, including equity and debt issuances. As stated in Note 14 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon management's ability to raise capital from the sale of its equity and, ultimately, the achievement of operating revenues. If our revenues continue to be insufficient to support our operational activities, we intend to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities or borrowings from financial institutions and possibly from related and nonrelated parties who may in fact lend to us on reasonable terms. Management believes that its actions to secure additional funding will allow us to continue as a going concern. We currently do not have any committed sources of financing other than our accounts receivable factoring agreement, which requires us to meet certain conditions to utilize. During the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we raised $500,000 from the sale of 500,000 shares of our common stock under a purchase agreement with an investor and $5,073,438 from the sale of 3,279,693 shares of our common stock under the Amended and Restated Equity Purchase Agreement with Tysadco Partners LLC. In addition, during the year ended June 30, 2022, we received proceeds of $2,490,500 from the issuance of notes. There can be no assurance that we will meet all or any of the requirements pursuant to our accounts receivable factoring agreement, and therefore the financing option may be unavailable to us. There is no guarantee we will be successful in raising capital outside of our current sources, and if so, that we will be able to do so on favorable terms.
Our cash totaled $300,899 at June 30, 2022, as compared with $541,591 at June 30, 2021, a decrease of 44%. Net cash of $1,178,009 was used in operations for the year ended June 30, 2022. Net cash of $6,316,265 was used in operations for the year ended June 30, 2021. Net cash of $763,013 was used in investing activities for the year ended June 30, 2022. Net cash of $1,700,330 was provided by financing activities for the year ended June 30, 2022. The majority of this cash was used in the investment of product for orders already received to stay ahead of the potential product shortages we may experience in the future. During the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we raised $2,490,500 and $2,697,730 from the issuance of convertible and nonconvertible notes.
Total liabilities amounted to $6,796,581 and $8,760,482 as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily consists of borrowings under notes payable, related party notes payable and a line of credit, derivative liability, accounts payable, and deferred revenue.
To implement our business plan, we may require additional financing. Additional financing may come from future equity or debt offerings that could result in dilution to our stockholders. Further, adverse capital and credit market conditions could limit our access to capital. We may be unable to raise capital or bear an unattractive cost of capital that could reduce our financial flexibility.
Our long-term liquidity requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate at which we grow our business and footprint in the industries. To the extent that the funds generated from operations are insufficient to fund our activities in the long term, we may be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available or that, if it is available, it will be on terms acceptable to us.

FOOTNOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022 and 2021
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Corporate History, Nature of Business, Mergers and Acquisitions
Galaxy Next Generation LTD CO. ("Galaxy CO") was organized in the state of Georgia in February 2017 while R&G Sales, Inc. ("R&G") was organized in the state of Georgia in August 2004. Galaxy CO merged with R&G ("common controlled merger") on March 16, 2018, with R&G becoming the surviving company. R&G subsequently changed its name to Galaxy Next Generation, Inc. ("Private Galaxy").
FullCircle Registry, Inc., ("FLCR") is a holding company created for the purpose of acquiring small profitable businesses to provide exit plans for those company's owners. FLCR's subsidiary, FullCircle Entertainment, Inc. ("Entertainment" or "FLCE"), owned and operated Georgetown 14 Cinemas, a fourteen-theater movie complex located in Indianapolis, Indiana.
On June 22, 2018, Private Galaxy consummated a reverse triangular merger whereby Galaxy merged with and into Full Circle Registry, Inc.'s ("FLCR") as a newly formed subsidiary which was formed specifically for the transaction ("Galaxy MS"). The merger resulted in Private Galaxy MS becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of FLCR. For accounting purposes, the acquisition of Private Galaxy by FLCR is considered a reverse acquisition, an acquisition transaction where the acquired company, Galaxy, is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes, notwithstanding the form of the transaction. The primary reason the transaction is being treated as a purchase by Galaxy rather than a purchase by FLCR is that FLCR is a public reporting company, and Private Galaxy's stockholders gained majority control of the outstanding voting power of FLCR's equity securities. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations that are reflected in the historical financial statements of the Company prior to the merger are those of Private Galaxy. The financial statements after the completion of the merger include the combined assets and liabilities of the combined company (collectively Private Galaxy, FLCR and FLCE).
In recognition of Private Galaxy's merger with FLCR, several things occurred: (1) FLCR amended its articles of incorporation to change its name from FullCircle Registry, Inc. to Galaxy Next Generation, Inc.; (2) the Company changed its fiscal year end to June 30, effective June 2018; (3) the Company's authorized shares of preferred stock were increased to 200,000,000 and authorized shares of common stock were increased to 4,000,000,000, (prior to the Reverse Stock Split) both with a par value of $0.0001; and (4) the Board of Directors and Executive Officers approved Gary LeCroy, President and Director; Magen McGahee, Secretary and Director; and Carl Austin, Director; and (5) the primary business operated by the combined company became the business that was operated by Private Galaxy.
On September 3, 2019, Galaxy acquired 100% of the stock of Interlock Concepts, Inc. ("Concepts") and Ehlert Solutions Group, Inc. ("Solutions"). The purchase price for the acquisition was 1,350,000 shares of common stock and a two year note payable to the seller for $3,000,000. The note payable to the seller is subject to adjustment based on the achievement of certain future gross revenues and successful completion of certain pre-acquisition withholding tax issues of Concepts and Solutions.
Solutions and Concepts are Utah-based audio design and manufacturing companies creating innovative products that provide fundamental tools for building notification systems primarily to K-12 education market customers located primarily in the north and northwest United States. Solutions and Concepts' products and services allow institutions access to intercom, scheduling, and notification systems with improved ease of use. The products provide an open architecture solution to customers which allows the products to be used in both existing and new environments. Intercom, public announcement (PA), bell and control solutions are easily added and integrated within the open architecture design and software model. These products combine elements over a common internet protocol (IP) network, which minimizes infrastructure requirements and reduces costs by combining systems.

Impact COVID-19 Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act
The Cares Act allowed employers to defer the deposit and payment of the employer’s share of Social Security taxes from March 27, 2020 through September 30, 2021. The deferred deposits of the employer’s share of Social Security tax must be deposited 50% by December 31, 2021, and 50% by December 31, 2022. The Company’s remaining deferred deposits and current payments due amounted to $457,704 of Social Security Tax at June 30, 2022.
In fiscal years 2022 and 2021, the Company applied for Employee Retention Credits and has recognized approximately $40,000 as a reduction to operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.
The Covid-19 pandemic that began in early 2020 caused shelter-in-place policies, unexpected factory closures, supply chain disruptions, and market volatilities across the globe. As a result of the economic disruptions and unprecedented market volatilities and uncertainties driven by the Covid-19 outbreak, the Company experienced some supply chain disruptions. However, the Company has not experienced any significant payment delays or defaults by our customers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The full impact of the Covid-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. The depth and duration of the pandemic remains unknown. Despite the availability of vaccines, recent surges in the infection rate and the detection of new variants of the virus have reinforced the general consensus that the containment of Covid-19 remains a challenge. Management is actively monitoring the global situation and its effect on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Any reference in these footnotes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as found in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB").
The financial statements include the consolidated assets and liabilities of the combined company (collectively Private Galaxy FLCR Interlock Concepts, Inc., Ehlert Solutions Group, Inc., and Classroom Tech, referred to collectively as the "Company"). See Note 12.
All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.
The Company is an over-the-counter public company traded under the stock symbol listing GAXY (formerly FLCR).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates used in preparing the consolidated financial statements include those assumed in computing valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, valuation of convertible notes payable and warrants, and the valuation of deferred tax assets. It is reasonably possible that the significant estimates used will change within the next year.
Reverse Stock Split
Unless otherwise noted, all share and per share data referenced in the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the one-for-two hundred reverse stock split effective March 7, 2022 of our authorized and outstanding shares of common stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto may be slightly different than previously reported due to rounding of fractional shares, and adjustment for the reverse split.

There are 34,952,209 common shares reserved at June 30, 2022 under terms of notes payable agreements, and the Stock Plan (see Notes 6, 11, and 13).
There are 2,437,467 issued common shares that are restricted as of June 30, 2022. The shares will become free-trading upon satisfaction of certain terms within the debt agreements.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, acquired assets, including separately identifiable intangible assets, and any assumed liabilities are recorded at their acquisition date estimated fair value. The excess of purchase price over the fair value amounts assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed represents the goodwill amount resulting from the acquisition. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions.
Revenue Recognition
Technology Interactive Panels and Related Products
The Company derives revenue from the sale of interactive panels and other related products. Sales of these panels may also include optional equipment, accessories, and services (installation, training, and other services, maintenance, and warranty services). Product sales and installation revenue are recognized when all of the following criteria have been met: (1) products have been shipped or customers have purchased and accepted title to the goods; service revenue for installation of products sold is recognized as the installation services are performed, (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (3) the price to the customer is fixed, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.
Deferred revenue consists of customer deposits and advance billings of the Company's products where sales have not yet been recognized. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in revenue in the accompanying statements of operations. Costs incurred by the Company associated with shipping and handling are included in cost of sales in the accompanying statements of operations. Sales are recorded net of sales returns and discounts, and sales are presented net of sales-related taxes.
Because of the nature and quality of the Company's products, the Company provides for the estimated costs of warranties at the time revenue is recognized for a period of five years after purchase as a secondary warranty. The manufacturer also provides a warranty against certain manufacturing and other defects. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company accrued $108,043 and $108,043 respectively, for estimated product warranty claims, which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The accrued warranty costs are based primarily on historical warranty claims as well as current repair costs. There was $8,900 and $5,693 of warranty expense for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Product sales resulting from fixed-price contracts involve a signed contract for a fixed price or a binding purchase order to provide the Company's interactive panels and accessories. Contract arrangements exclude a right of return for delivered items. Product sales resulting from fixed-price contracts are generated from multiple-element arrangements that require separate units of accounting and estimates regarding the fair value of individual elements. The Company has determined that its multiple-element arrangements that qualify as separate units of accounting are:
(1) product sales and
(2) installation and related services.
F-13
There is objective and reliable evidence of fair value for both the product sales and installation services and allocation of arrangement consideration for each of these units is based on their relative fair values. Each of these elements represent individual units of accounting, as the delivered item has value to a customer on a stand-alone basis. The Company's products can be sold on a stand-alone basis to customers which provides objective evidence of the fair value of the product portion of the multi-element contract, and thus represents the Company's best estimate of selling price.
The fair value of installation services is separately calculated using expected costs of installation services. Many times, the value of installation services is calculated using price quotations from subcontractors to the Company who perform installation services on a stand-alone basis.
The Company sells equipment with embedded software to its customers. The embedded software is not sold separately, and it is not a significant focus of the Company's marketing efforts. The Company does not provide post-contract customer support specific to the software or incur significant costs that are within the scope of FASB guidance on accounting for software to be leased or sold. Additionally, the functionality that the software provides is marketed as part of the overall product. The software embedded in the equipment is incidental to the equipment as a whole.
Supplier Agreement
Galaxy is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for an audio amplification device used primarily in classrooms under a master supplier contract. The master supplier agreement outlines terms of each purchase order issued under the agreement.
In general, Galaxy receives a prepayment with each purchase order to cover upfront costs. The prepayment, a contract liability, is recorded as deferred revenue and released to income as finished products are shipped and received. Contract assets are recorded in accounts receivable. The supplier agreement states that title passes upon receipt. The product is rebranded and sold to customers. The supplier contract was acquired with the Concepts and Solutions acquisition in September 2019. The initial contract was for 1 year with 2 two-year extensions available. The master agreement extensions will expire in September 2024. All units under the contract and related purchase orders are complete and delivered as of June 30, 2022. At June 30, 2021, approximately 11% of the units under the contract were complete and delivered.
Contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows:
June 30, 2022 | June 30, 2021 | |||
Contract Assets | $ | 55,125 | $ | 43,360 |
Contract Liabilities | $ | - | $ | 228,514 |
For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $1,171,344 and $1,467,589 of revenue under the above contract.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to be cash in all bank accounts, including money market and temporary investments that have an original maturity of three months or less.
From time to time, the Company has on deposit, in institutions whose accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, funds in excess of the insured maximum. The at-risk amount is subject to significant fluctuation daily throughout the year. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances, and as such, the Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant risk.
F-14
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable is recognized when the Company's right to consideration is unconditional and is presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Interest is not charged on past due accounts. Management reviews each receivable balance and estimates that portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is then reduced by an allowance based on management's estimate. Management deemed
allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary at June 30, 2022 and 2021. At June 30, 2022 and 2021, $175,436 and $190,779 of total accounts receivable were considered unbilled and recorded as deferred revenue.
Inventories
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of accounting and is primarily comprised of interactive panels, audio, intercom and bell products and related accessories. Management estimates $116,362 and $67,635 of inventory reserves at June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred and additions and improvements that significantly extend the lives of assets are capitalized. Upon sale or other retirement of depreciable property, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the related accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operations.
Property and equipment and the estimated useful lives used in computing depreciation, are as follows:
Furniture and fixtures | 5 years |
Equipment | 5 to 8 years |
Vehicles | 5 years |
Building | 40 years |
Building Improvements | 8 years |
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets. Depreciation expense was $35,474 and $16,005 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets to be held and used are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the excess of the asset's carrying amount over the fair value of the asset.
Goodwill
Goodwill is attributed to the reverse merger of FullCircle Registry and the acquisition of Concepts and Solutions. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Judgments regarding indicators of potential impairment are based on market conditions and operational performance of the business.
At each fiscal year-end, the Company performs an impairment analysis of goodwill. The Company may assess its goodwill for impairment initially using a qualitative approach to determine whether conditions exist to indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If management concludes, based on its assessment of relevant events, facts and circumstances that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's carrying value is greater than its fair value, then a goodwill impairment charge is recognized for the amount in excess, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and no further testing is required. If determined to be impaired, an impairment charge is recorded as a general and administrative expense within the Company's consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2022, the only asset required to be measured on a nonrecurring basis was goodwill and the fair value of the asset amounted to $834,220 using level 3 valuation techniques.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at the lower of cost or fair value. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from two to five years, representing the period over which the Company expects to receive future economic benefits from these assets. The Company acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions. During the year ended June 30, 2022, the Company impaired $37,885 of the intangible assets and wrote down $193,346 of inventory related to the acquisition of Classroom. There was no impairment in the year ended June 30, 2021.

$ 2,196,987 | $ (680,172) | $ 1,516,815 | $ 1,516,815 |
Intangible assets such as customer lists and vendor relationships are stated at the lower of cost or fair value. They are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from three to six years, representing the period over which the Company expects to receive future economic benefits from these assets.
Estimated amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets for the next five years is: $272,000 for fiscal year 2023, $272,000 for fiscal year 2024, $88,099 for fiscal year 2025. Amortization expense was $254,245 and $474,635 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Product Development Costs
Costs incurred in designing and developing classroom technology products are expensed as research and development until technological feasibility has been established. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detail product design, or in its absence, completion of a working model. Upon the achievement of technological feasibility, development costs are capitalized and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Management's judgment is required in determining whether a product provides new or additional functionality, the point at which various products enter the stages at which costs may be capitalized, assessing the ongoing value and impairment of the capitalized costs and determining the estimated useful lives over which the costs are amortized.
Annual amortization expense is calculated based on the straight-line method over the product's estimated economic lives, which are typically three to six years. Amortization of product development costs incurred begins when the related products are available for general release to customers. Amortization of product development costs was $271,062 and $195,996 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 respectively and is included in cost of revenues in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Estimated amortization expense related to product development cost and finite-lived intangible assets for the next five years is: $370,344 for fiscal year 2023, $168,367 for fiscal year 2024, $131,510 for fiscal year 2025, $65,724 for fiscal year 2026, and $50,635 for fiscal year 2027 and $24,512 thereafter.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $0 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Research and development costs of $503,706 and $508,266 were capitalized as development costs during the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
The Company relies on the guidance provided by ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, to classify certain convertible instruments. The Company first determines whether a financial instrument should be classified as a liability. The Company determines a liability classification if the financial instrument is mandatorily redeemable, or if the financial instrument, other than outstanding shares, embodies a conditional obligation that the Company must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares.
F-16
If the Company determines that a financial instrument should not be classified as a liability, the Company determines whether the financial instrument should be presented between the liability section and the equity section of the balance sheet ("temporary equity"). The Company determines temporary equity classification if the redemption of the financial instrument is outside the control of the Company (i.e. at the option of the holder). Otherwise, the Company accounts for the financial instrument as permanent equity.
Initial Measurement
The Company records financial instruments classified as liability, temporary equity, or permanent equity at issuance at the fair value, or cash received.
Subsequent Measurement - Financial Instruments Classified as Liabilities
The Company records the fair value of financial instruments classified as liabilities at each subsequent measurement date. The changes in fair value of financial instruments classified as liabilities are recorded as other income (expense).
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss from the current year and any adjustment to income taxes payable related to previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or subsequently enacted by the year-end date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. Under the asset and liability method, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be utilized.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions set forth in ASC 718, Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based upon the grant date fair value of those awards. The Company, from time to time, may issue common stock to acquire services or goods from non-employees. Common stock issued to persons other than employees or directors are recorded on the basis of their fair value.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company's convertible notes and warrants are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as they are anti-dilutive due to the Company's losses during those periods.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company categorized its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.
As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company held certain financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. All such assets and liabilities are considered to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy defined above.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow or market risks. However, certain other financial instruments, such as warrants and embedded conversion features on the convertible debt, are classified as derivative liabilities due to protection provisions within the agreements. Such financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value using the Monte Carlo model and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the close of each reporting period. The Company accounts for derivative instruments and debt instruments in accordance with the interpretive guidance of ASC 815, ASU 2017-11, and associated pronouncements related to the classification and measurement of warrants and instruments with conversion features and anti-dilution clauses in agreements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new applicable accounting pronouncements that are in effect and applicable. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ("ASU 2019-12") by removing certain exceptions to the general principles. The amendments will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on a retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of the new guidance to its consolidated financial statements.

The Company measures the fair market value of the Level 3 liability components using the Monte Carlo model and projected discounted cash flows, as appropriate. These models were prepared by an independent third party and consider management's best estimate of the conversion price of the stock, an estimate of the expected time to conversion, an estimate of the stock's volatility, and the risk-free rate of return expected for an instrument with a term equal to the duration of the convertible note. In December 2021, the derivative liability was eliminated when the Company entered into an agreement to convert the convertible debt into preferred stock. (See Note 6).

Net Deferred Tax Assets | $ | $ |
The Company's policy is to provide for deferred income taxes based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company has not generated taxable income and has not recorded any current income tax expense at June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
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 taxes is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
The Company's deferred tax assets are primarily comprised of net operating losses ("NOL") that give rise to deferred tax assets. The NOL carryforwards expire over a range from 2023 to 2038, with certain NOL carryforwards that have no expiration. There is no tax benefit for goodwill impairment, which is permanently non-deductible for tax purposes. Additionally, due to the uncertainty of the utilization of NOL carry forwards, a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax assets has been recorded.
F-25
The significant components of deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, are as follows:
2022 | 2021 | ||
Net operating loss carryforwards | $ | 9,539,900 | $ 12,579,200 |
Valuation allowance | (9,748,100) | (12,957,500) | |
Property and equipment | (32,000) | (20,400) | |
Goodwill | 11,000 | 251,600 | |
Intangible assets | 124,600 | 72,900 | |
Development costs | 46,100 | 27,900 | |
Inventory allowance | 30,300 | 17,800 | |
Warranty accrual and other | 28,200 | 28,500 | |
Net Deferred Tax Assets | $ |
As of June 30, 2022, the Company does not believe that it has taken any tax positions that would require the recording of any additional tax liability, nor does it believe that there are any unrealized tax benefits that would either increase or decrease within the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2022, the Company's income tax returns generally remain open for examination for three years from the date filed with each taxing jurisdiction.
Note 10 – Commitments, Contingencies, and Concentrations
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
On September 4, 2019, the Company recorded a pre-acquisition liability for approximately $591,000 relative to unpaid payroll tax liabilities and associated penalties and fees of Concepts and Solutions. The liability is included in the note payable to seller of $1,030,079 at June 30, 2022 and 2021 (Note 6).

The Company established a 2022 Equity Incentive Plan to enable the Company to award long term performance-based equity incentives to employees and others. No equity awards have been issued under the Plan to date.
An Employee, Directors, and Consultants Stock Plan was established by the Company (the "Plan"). The Plan is intended to attract and retain employees, directors and consultants by aligning the economic interest of such individuals more closely with the Company's stockholders by paying fees or salaries in the form of shares of the Company's common stock. The 2020 Plan was effective September 16, 2020 and expired December 15, 2021. Common shares of 1,961 are reserved for stock awards under the Plans. There were 98,857,857 shares awarded under the Plans as of June 30, 2021. No additional shares were awarded during the year ended June 30, 2022.

Note 14 – Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $3,800,000, an accumulated deficit of approximately $54,000,000, and cash used in operations of approximately $1,200,000 at June 30, 2022.
The Company's operational activities have primarily been funded through issuance of common stock for services, related party advances, equity purchase agreement transactions for proceeds, accounts receivable factoring, debt financing and through the deferral of accounts payable and other expenses. The Company intends to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities or borrowings from financial institutions and investors and possibly from related and nonrelated parties who may in fact lend to the Company on reasonable terms. Management believes that its actions to secure additional funding will allow the Company to continue as a going concern. There is no guarantee the Company will be successful in achieving any of these objectives. These sources of working capital are not assured, and consequently do not sufficiently mitigate the risks and uncertainties disclosed above. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon management's ability to raise capital from the sale of its equity and, ultimately, the achievement of operating revenues. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures ("Disclosure Controls") as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. The Disclosure Controls evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer). Disclosure Controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Annual Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The evaluation of our Disclosure Controls included a review of the controls' objectives and design, our implementation of the controls and the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this Annual Report. Throughout the course of our evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting, we advised our Board of Directors that we had identified a material weakness as defined under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness we identified is discussed in "Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting" below. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as a result of the material weakness, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our Disclosure Controls were not effective.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act.
Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management, including our principal operating officer and principal accounting officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013).
Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that there is a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weakness relates to the fact that our management is relying on external consultants for purposes of preparing its financial reporting package; however, the officers may not be able to identify errors and irregularities in the financial reporting package before its release as a continuous disclosure document.
We continue to engage an outside Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with SEC-related experience to assist in correction of these material weaknesses. In addition, we continue to appoint an accountant to provide financial statements on a monthly basis and to assist with the preparation of our SEC financial reports, which allows for proper segregation of duties as well as additional manpower for proper documentation.
Because of the material weakness described above, management concluded that, as of June 30, 2022 our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO (2013). There has been no change in our internal controls that occurred during our most recent fiscal period that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal controls.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit smaller reporting companies like us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

This management report shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
No changes have occurred in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the Company's last fiscal quarter, which has materially affected or is likely to affect such controls

Code of Ethics
The Company has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the Company's officers, and directors. Our Code of Ethics was included as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Code of Business Conduct And Ethics
Each of the Company's directors and employees, including its executive officers, are required to conduct themselves in accordance with ethical standards set forth in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics adopted by the Board of Directors. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics was previously filed with the SEC. Any amendments to or waivers from the code will be posted on our website. Information on our website does not constitute part of this Annual Report.
Risk Oversight
The Board has an active role, as a whole, in overseeing management of our company’s risks. The Board regularly reviews information regarding our company’s strategy, finances and operations, as well as the risks associated with each.
Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors and officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership of the Company's securities with the SEC on Forms 3, 4 and 5. Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on the Company's review of the copies of the forms received by it during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 and written representations that no other reports were required, the Company does not believe that any persons required to make filings under Section 16(a) during such fiscal year failed to file such reports or filed such reports late other Ms. Magen McGahee had one late Form 4 on June 29, 2022 reporting 1 transaction involving the issuance of Series G Preferred Stock on June 23, 2022. Mr. LeCroy had one late Form 4 on June 29, 2022 reporting 1 transaction involving the issuance of Series G Preferred Stock on June 23, 2022.
Corporate Governance
The Company promotes accountability for adherence to honest and ethical conduct; endeavors to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with the SEC and in other public communications made by the Company; and strives to be compliant with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. The Company has not formally adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that governs the Company's employees, officers and directors as the Company is not required to do so.
Committees of the Board
Our Company currently does not have nominating or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does the Company have a written nominating, compensation, or audit committee charter. The Board of Directors believes that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the Board of Directors.
In lieu of an Audit Committee, the Company's Board of Directors, is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations concerning the selection of outside auditors, reviewing the scope, results and effectiveness of the annual audit of the Company's financial statements and other services provided by the Company's independent public accountants. The Board of Directors reviews the Company's internal accounting controls, practices, and policies.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert " as defined in Item 407(D)(5) of Regulation S-K.
We believe that our directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the stage of our development.
Board Meetings and Annual Meeting
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, our Board of Directors held one formal meeting. We did not hold an annual meeting during that time period. All of our directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board of Directors.
-42-
Shareholder Proposals
The Company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The Board of Directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. The Company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the Board of Directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The Board of Directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment to the Board

Review, Approval and Ratification of Related Party Transactions
Given our small size and limited financial resources, we have not adopted formal policies and procedures for the review, approval, or ratification of related party transactions, with our executive officers, directors, and significant stockholders. We intend to establish formal policies and procedures in the future, once we have sufficient resources and have appointed additional directors, so that such transactions will be subject to the review, approval or ratification of our Board of Directors, or an appropriate committee thereof. On a moving forward basis, our directors will continue to approve any related party transaction.

Exhibit 4.8
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED
Galaxy Next Generation, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) has one class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which is our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Common Stock is registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.
General
The following is a description of the material terms of our Common Stock. This is a summary only and does not purport to be complete. It is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles of Incorporation”) and our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), each of which are incorporated by reference as an exhibit to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. We encourage you to read our Articles of Incorporation, our Bylaws, and the applicable provisions of Nevada Revised Statute (the “NRS”), for additional information.
Description of Common Stock
Authorized, Issued and Outstanding Shares of Common Stock
We currently have 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized. The amount of authorized shares was changed from 20,000,000 to 200,000,000 on August 31, 2022.
Voting Rights
The holders of Common Stock have the unlimited right to vote for the election of directors and on all other matters requiring stockholder action, each share being entitled to one vote.
Dividend Rights
Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared and paid or set apart for payment upon the Common Stock out of any assets or funds of the Company legally available for the payment of dividends
Liquidation Rights
Upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company the net assets of the Company available for distribution shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of the Common Stock in accordance with their respective rights and interests.
-52-
Other Rights and Preferences
The holders of the Common Stock have no preemptive, conversion or subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of our preferred stock that is currently outstanding and that we may designate and issue in the future.
Fully Paid and Nonassessable
All the outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
Number of Directors
The number of directors of the Company may be increased or decreased in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Company; provided, that the number of directors shall never be less than one. In the interim between elections of directors by stockholders entitled to vote, all vacancies, including vacancies caused by an increase in the number of directors and including vacancies resulting from the removal of directors by the stockholders entitled to vote which are not filled by said stockholders, may be filled by the remaining directors, though less than a quorum.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is Madison Stock Transfer Inc. Its address is 2500 Coney Island Ave, Brooklyn, New York 11223, and its telephone number is (718) 627-4453.
OTCQB Listing
The Common Stock is traded on the OTCQB under the symbol “GAXY.”
Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain certain provisions that may have anti-takeover effects, making it more difficult for or preventing a third party from acquiring control of the Company or changing our board of directors and management. According to the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, the holders of the Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of our directors. The lack of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for other stockholders to replace our board of directors or for a third party to obtain control of our Company by replacing its board of directors.
-53-
Authorized but Unissued Shares
Our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval. We may use additional shares of Common Stock for a variety of purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, to fund acquisitions and as employee compensation. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Nevada Law
Business Combinations
The “business combination” provisions of Sections 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, of the NRS generally prohibit a Nevada corporation with at least 200 stockholders from engaging in various “combination” transactions with any interested stockholder for a period of two years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the transaction is approved by the board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder obtained such status or the combination is approved by the board of directors and thereafter is approved at a meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of stockholders representing at least 60% of the outstanding voting power held by disinterested stockholders, and extends beyond the expiration of the two-year period, unless:
- the combination was approved by the board of directors prior to the person becoming an interested stockholder or the transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder was approved by the board of directors before the person became an interested stockholder or the combination is later approved by a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders; or
- if the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder is at least equal to the highest of: (a) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the two years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher, (b) the market value per share of Common Stock on the date of announcement of the combination and the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher, or (c) for holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, if it is higher.
A “combination” is generally defined to include mergers or consolidations or any sale, lease exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer, or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions, with an “interested stockholder” having: (a) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation, (b) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation, (c) 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation, and (d) certain other transactions with an interested stockholder or an affiliate or associate of an interested stockholder.
In general, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within two years, did own) 10% or more of a corporation's voting stock. The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire our company even though such a transaction may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price.
