NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

 

Corporate Information

 

Logiq, Inc., formerly known as Weyland Tech, Inc., is a Delaware corporation that was incorporated in 2004. Logiq is headquartered in New York, with offices in New York City, Singapore, Minneapolis, MN, Denver, CO, and Jakarta, Indonesia. The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTCQX under the symbol, “LGIQ”, and NEO Exchange in Canada under the same symbol.

 

Business Overview

 

The Company offers solutions that help small-to-medium-sized businesses (“SMBs”) to provide access to and reduce transaction friction of e-commerce for their clients globally. The Company’s solutions are provided through (i) its core platform, “AppLogiq” (operated as CreateApp), allows SMBs to establish their point-of-presence on the web, and (ii) “DataLogiq”, a digital marketing analytics business unit that offers proprietary data management, audience targeting and other digital marketing services that improve an SMB’s discovery and branding within the vast e-commerce landscape.

 

The Company enables SMBs to create a mobile app for their business without the need of technical knowledge, high investment, or background in IT by utilizing “AppLogiq”, which is a platform that is offered as a Platform as a Service (“PaaS”) to the Company’s customers. The Company’s DataLogiq business unit offers online marketing solutions on a performance marketing and self-serve, Software as a Service (“SaaS”) basis.

 

We provide our PaaS and digital marketing to SMBs in a wide variety of industry sectors. We believe that SMBs can increase their sales, reach more customers, and promote their products and services using our affordable and cost-effective solutions. We recognize revenue on a pay to use subscription basis when our customers use our PaaS platform to create mobile apps for their business and on our SaaS platform when provisioning services for their marketing campaigns. We also recognize revenue on a Cost per lead (“CPL”) and other metrics for engagements undertaken on a performance marketing basis.

 

The Company continues to expand its portfolio of offerings and the industries they serve:

 

In May 2018, the Company expanded its portfolio to fintech applications with the launch of its PayLogiq mobile payments platform in Indonesia.

 

In the fall of 2019, the Company expanded its portfolio to short-distance food delivery service with the launch of GoLogiq, a PaaS platform that provides mobile payment capabilities for the local food delivery service industry in Indonesia.

 

In January 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Push Holdings, Inc., headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This acquired business, which the Company has rebranded as its DataLogiq division, operates a consumer data management platform powered by lead generation, online marketing, and multichannel reengagement strategies through its owned and operated brands. DataLogiq has developed a proprietary data management platform and integrated with several third-party service providers to optimize the return on its marketing efforts. DataLogiq focuses on consumer engagement and enrichment to maximize its return on acquisition through repeat monetization of each consumer. DataLogiq also licenses its software technology and provides managed technology services to various other e-commerce companies. DataLogiq is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.

 

On November 2, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Fixel AI Inc., thereby acquiring its self-serve MarTech Audience Targeting platform as a further expansion of its DataLogiq product suite.

 

On March 29, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Rebel AI, Inc., thereby acquiring its “The Rebel AI” advertising platform as a further expansion of its DataLogiq product suite.

 

  On June 21, 2021, the Company completed the IPO offering of 1,976,434 units on the NEO exchange in Canada.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis to reflect the financial position and results of operations of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Logiq, Inc (Delaware) and its wholly owned material operating subsidiaries, Logiq, Inc (Nevada), Fixel AI Inc., and Rebel AI Inc. Material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

COVID-19

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration. Therefore, while we expect this matter to negatively impact our business, results of operations, and financial position, the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

 

USE OF ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes its best estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

 

The Company accounts for acquisitions of entities that include inputs and processes and have the ability to create outputs as business combinations. The Company allocates the purchase price of the acquisition to the tangible assets, liabilities and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition related expenses and integration costs are expensed as incurred.

 

CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

 

The Company relies on cloud-based hosting through a global accredited hosting provider. Management believes that alternate sources are available; however, disruption or termination of this relationship could adversely affect our operating results in the near-term.

 

SEGMENT REPORTING

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker, or decision- making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

 

The Company has 2 operating business segments:

 

AppLogiq marketed as CreateApp platform acquired in 2015 and subsequently enhanced in 2016 and 2017, offered on a Platform-as-a-Service (“PaaS”) basis providing digital marketing to SMBs in a wide variety of industry sectors, to increase their sales, reach more customers, and promote their products and services using our affordable and cost-effective solutions. We recognize revenue on a pay to use subscription basis when our customers use our PaaS platform to create mobile apps for their business; and

 

DataLogiq is a business segment created in January 2020 from our acquisition of the assets of Push Holdings Inc, comprising a consumer data management platform powered by lead generation, online marketing, and multichannel reengagement strategies through its owned and operated brands by Fixel AI Inc and Rebel AI Inc. DataLogiq has developed a proprietary data management platform and integrates with several third-party service providers to optimize the return on its marketing efforts. DataLogiq focuses on consumer engagement and data enrichment to maximize its return on acquisition through repeat monetization of each consumer.

 

We identify our reportable segments as those customer groups that represent more than 10% of our combined revenue or gross profit or loss of all reported operating segments. We manage our business on the basis of the two reportable segment e-commerce solutions and service provider. The accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole. We do not segregate assets by segments since our chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, does not use assets as a basis to evaluate a segment’s performance.

 

GOOGWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

 

Goodwill is recorded as the difference between the aggregate consideration in a business combination and the fair value of the acquired net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Based on that qualitative assessment, if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company conducts a quantitative goodwill impairment test, which involves comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. The Company estimates the fair value of a reporting unit using a combination of the income and market approach. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference. The Company performed its qualitative assessment and determined that no impairment indicators were present during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

The Company’s intangible assets consist of software technology, which is amortized using the straight-line method over five years. Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 amounted to $1,694,907 and $875,966, respectively, which was included in the amortization of intangible assets expense of the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET

 

Property and equipment are stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are five to seven years for leasehold improvements and three to five years for computer and related equipment. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the asset lives, are charged to operations as incurred. Upon sale or disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

The Company classifies its long-life assets into: (i) computer and office equipment; (ii) furniture and fixtures, (iii) leasehold improvements, and (iv) finite – life intangible assets.

 

Long-life assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. It is possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology, economy or other industry changes. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-life asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, relief from royalty income approach, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

 

The Company makes various assumptions and estimates regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors in determining the fair values of the respective assets. The assumptions and estimates used to determine future values and remaining useful lives of long-lived assets are complex and subjective. They can be affected by various factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as the Company’s business strategy and its forecasts for specific market expansion.

 

GROUP ACCOUNTING

 

Subsidiaries are entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values on the date of acquisition, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group to the date on which that control ceases. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to ensure consistency of accounting policies with those of the Group. Minority interest is that part of the net results of operations and of net assets of a subsidiary attributable to interests which are not owned directly or indirectly by the Group. It is measured at the minorities’ share of the fair value of the subsidiaries’ identifiable assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition by the Group and the minorities’ share of changes in equity since the date of acquisition, except when the losses applicable to the minority in a subsidiary exceed the minority interest in the equity of that subsidiary. In such cases, the excess and further losses applicable to the minority are attributed to the equity holders of the Company, unless the minority has a binding obligation to, and is able to, make good the losses. When that subsidiary subsequently reports profits, the profits applicable to the minority are attributed to the equity holders of the Company until the minority’s share of losses previously absorbed by the equity holders of the Company has been recovered.

 

SUBSIDIARIES

 

When subsidiaries are excluded from consolidation on the basis that their inclusion involving expense and delay out of proportion to the value to members of the Company, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses in the Company’s balance sheet. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the investment is taken to the income statement.

 

ASSOCIATES

 

Associates are all entities over which the group has significant influence but not control or joint control, generally accompanying a shareholding interest of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognized at cost. The group’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition. The group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from associates are recognized as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. Where the group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealized gains on transactions between the group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the group’s interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed, where necessary, to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

FINANCIAL ASSETS

 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in ‘other gains and losses’ line in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

 

The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis, including the available-for-sale debt securities. Fair value is the price the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. The Company uses a three-level hierarchy established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach).

 

The levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

  Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

  Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

  Level 3: Unobservable inputs with little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the most conservative level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

LEASES

 

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), on January 8, 2020, using a modified retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard to leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company leases its offices which are classified as operating leases in accordance with Topic 842. Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) on the commencement date: (i) lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.

 

At the commencement date, the Company recognizes the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease. The right-of-use asset is recognized initially at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment. No impairment for right-of-use lease assets as of June 30, 2021.

 

AVAILABLE-FOR-SALES INVESTMENTS

 

Certain shares and debt securities held by the group are classified as being available for sale and are stated at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value, impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective interest method and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets are recognized directly in profit or loss. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive payments is established. The fair value of available-for-sale monetary assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at end of the reporting period. The change in fair value attributable to translation differences that result from a change in amortized cost of the available-for-sale monetary asset is recognized in profit or loss, and other changes are recognized in other comprehensive income.

 

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CONCENTRATION OF RISK

 

Accounts receivable consists of trade receivables from customers. The Company records accounts receivable at its net realizable value, recognizing an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our best estimate of probable credit losses on our existing accounts receivable. Balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the possibility of recovery is considered remote.

 

As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the allowance for bad debt was approximately $54,619 and $54,619, respectively.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments placed with banks, which have original maturities of twelve months or less and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

 

8

 

 

EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic (loss) earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period while the effects of potential common shares outstanding during the period are included in diluted earnings per share.

 

FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 260 (“ASC 260”), “Earnings Per Share,” requires that employee equity share options, non-vested shares and similar equity instruments granted to employees be treated as potential common shares in computing diluted earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share should be based on the actual number of options or shares granted and not yet forfeited, unless doing so would be anti-dilutive. The Company uses the “treasury stock” method for equity instruments granted in share-based payment transactions provided in ASC 260 to determine diluted earnings per share. Antidilutive securities represent potentially dilutive securities which are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings or loss per share as their impact was antidilutive.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company generates revenue from its two primary segments: AppLogiq and DataLogiq:

 

The Company’s AppLogiq Platform as a Service (“PaaS”) provides the infrastructure allowing users to develop their own applications and IT services, which users can access anywhere via a web or desktop browser. The Company recognizes revenue on a pay-to-use subscription basis when our customers use our platform. For the territories licensed to our distributors and on a white label basis, we derive royalty income from the end user use of our platform on a white label basis.

 

The Company maintains the PaaS software platform at its own cost. Any enhancements and minor customization for our resellers/distributors are not separately billed. Major new proprietary features are billed to the customer separately as development income while re-usable features are added to the features available to all customers on subsequent releases of our platform.

 

The Company’s DataLogiq segment generates revenue through the management of online display advertising campaigns on behalf of customers, which include per-impression, and cost per acquisition (“CPA”) arrangements as well as the delivery of qualified leads. Revenue derived on a cost per thousand impressions basis is recognized in the period in which the impressions are delivered. Revenue derived on a CPA basis is recognized in the period in which the acquisition occurs. Revenue derived from leads is recognized in the period the lead is sold. DataLogiq receives a fee from its customers and pays a fee to publishers based on revenue generated, or on a cost per thousand impressions basis. DataLogiq recognizes revenue on a gross basis since DataLogiq is the primary obligor in the arrangement.

 

COST OF REVENUE

 

The Company cost of revenue comprises fees from third party cloud-based hosting services and media costs.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, income tax expense is recognized as the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of available evidence it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

We value stock compensation based on the fair value recognition provisions ASC 718Compensation – Stock Compensation, which establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services and requires companies to expense the estimated grant date fair value of stock awards over the requisite employee service period.

 

We do not ascertain the fair value of restricted stock awards using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model.

 

See Note 15, Stockholders’ Equity, for further details on our stock awards.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

On October 2, 2017, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to the Staff Announcement at the July 20, 2017 EITF Meeting and Rescission of Prior SEC Staff Announcements and Observer Comments.” The ASU adds SEC paragraphs to the new revenue and leases sections of the Codification on the announcement the SEC Observer made at the 20 July 2017 Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) meeting. The SEC Observer said that the SEC staff would not object if entities that are considered public business entities only because their financial statements or financial information is required to be included in another entity’s SEC filing use the effective dates for private companies when they adopt ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and ASC 842, Leases. This would include entities whose financial statements are included in another entity’s SEC filing because they are significant acquirees under Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X, significant equity method investees under Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X and equity method investees whose summarized financial information is included in a registrant’s financial statement notes under Rule 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X. The ASU also supersedes certain SEC paragraphs in the Codification related to previous SEC staff announcements and moves other paragraphs, upon adoption of ASC 606 or ASC 842. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

On November 22, 2017, the FASB ASU No. 2017-14, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 116 and SEC Release 33-10403.” The ASU amends various paragraphs in ASC 220, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income; ASC 605, Revenue Recognition; and ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, that contain SEC guidance. The amendments include superseding ASC 605-10-S25-1 (SAB Topic 13) as a result of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 116 and adding ASC 606-10-S25-1 as a result of SEC Release No. 33-10403. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects From Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The ASU amends ASC 220, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income, to “allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.” In addition, under the ASU, an entity will be required to provide certain disclosures regarding stranded tax effects. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05 - Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“ASU 2018-05”), which amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and XBRL Taxonomy based on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) that was signed into law on December 22, 2017 and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) that was released by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Act changes numerous provisions that impact U.S. corporate tax rates, business-related exclusions, and deductions and credits and may additionally have international tax consequences for many companies that operate internationally. The Company does not believe this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases.” The ASU addresses 16 separate issues which include, for example, a correction to a cross reference regarding residual value guarantees, a clarification regarding rates implicit in lease contracts, and a consolidation of the requirements about lease classification reassessments. The guidance also addresses lessor reassessments of lease terms and purchase options, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, investment tax credits, lease terms and purchase options, transition guidance for amounts previously recognized in business combinations, and certain transition adjustments, among others. For entities that early adopted Topic 842, the amendments are effective upon issuance of this Update, and the transition requirements are the same as those in Topic 842. For entities that have not adopted Topic 842, the effective date and transition requirements will be the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 842. The Company does not believe this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 - Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. The ASU simplifies transition requirements and, for lessors, provides a practical expedient for the separation of non-lease components from lease components. Specifically, the ASU provides: (1) an optional transition method that entities can use when adopting ASC 842 and (2) a practical expedient that permits lessors to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component if certain conditions are met. For entities that have not adopted Topic 842 before the issuance of this Update, the effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Update 2016-02. For entities that have adopted Topic 842 before the issuance of this Update, the transition and effective date of the amendments in this Update are as follows: 1) The practical expedient may be elected either in the first reporting period following the issuance of this Update or at the original effective date of Topic 842 for that entity. 2) The practical expedient may be applied either retrospectively or prospectively. All entities, including early adopters, that elect the practical expedient related to separating components of a contract in this Update must apply the expedient, by class of underlying asset, to all existing lease transactions that qualify for the expedient at the date elected. The Company does not believe this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, based on current information.

NOTE 8 – INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATE

 

On April 23, 2018, the Company participated in the incorporation of a company in Indonesia, PT Weyland Indonesia Perkasa (“WIP’), an Indonesian limited liability company of which the Company held a 49% equity interest with the option to purchase an additional 31% equity interest at a later date. In April 2019, the Company completed the distribution as a dividend in specie, to the Company’s shareholders of record at October 12, 2018 of 49% equity interest in WIP to Weyland AtoZPay Inc. and now holds an equitable interest of 31% in WIP.

In lieu thereof, fractional shares were cancelled, and stockholders received a cash payment in an amount equal to the fair market value of such fractional shares on the effective date. All shares of Common Stock eliminated as a result of the Reverse Stock Split have been returned to the Company’s authorized and unissued capital stock, and the Company’s capital was reduced by an amount equal to the par value of the shares of Common Stock so retired.

 

The Reverse Stock Split did not change the Company’s current authorized number of shares of Common Stock or its par value. As such, the Company is authorized to issue up to 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001.

Goodwill has been measured as the excess of the total consideration over the amounts assigned to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

 

During the period ended December 31, 2020, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Logiq Inc (Nevada) acquired substantially all of the assets of Push Holdings, Inc. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were as follows:

Recent Corporate Developments

 

Amendment to Equity Incentive Plan

 

On April 21, 2021, Logiq, in connection with the Company being listed on the NEO Exchange in Canada and in order to comply with the corporate governance requirements of the NEO Exchange, amended and restated its 2020 Equity Incentive Plan to provide that stock options issued under the plan (i) may not be transferred and (ii) may not have an exercise price less than the fair market value (“FMV”) of such stock options as of the grant date. Pursuant to the A&R Plan (as defined below), FMV shall be determined as follows: (i) if the Company’s common stock is then listed or admitted to trading on a national stock exchange, the FMV shall be either (x) the five-day volume weighted average trading price, calculated by dividing the total value by the total volume of securities traded on a national stock exchange for the relevant period, or (y) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on a national stock exchange on the previous trading day prior to the date of grant of the award; or (y) if the Company’s common stock is not then listed or admitted to trading on a national stock exchange, the FMV shall be a price determined by the administrator of the A&R Plan in good faith using any reasonable method of valuation. In addition, the Company amended and restated the form agreements for awards made pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “A&R Plan”) to reflect the foregoing changes.

 

The Company’s A&R Plan and amended form award agreements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on April 21, 2021. The A&R Plan remains subject to shareholder approval, which the Company shall undertake to obtain as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no even later than one year from the amendment date. In the event that the Company does not obtain the requisite shareholder approval of the A&R Plan within one year, the A&R Plan shall not be effective and the form agreements for awards made thereunder shall revert to their original form.

 

25

 

 

Amendments to Bylaws – Adoption of Majority Voting Policy

 

On April 21, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), in connection with the Company being listed on the NEO Exchange in Canada and in order to comply with the corporate governance requirements of the NEO Exchange, approved and adopted a Majority Voting Policy for the election of directors (the “Policy”), which policy effectively alters the manner in which directors are elected under the Company’s Bylaws, and is therefore, subject to shareholder approval. The Company intends to submit a proposal to shareholders to approve the Policy and related changes to the Company’s Bylaws as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

Under the Policy, in an uncontested election, any director nominee who receives a greater number of votes “withheld” than votes “for” his or her election at a meeting of shareholders of the Company must promptly tender his or her resignation to the chairman of the Board. Following receipt of such resignation, the Governance Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) will consider the resignation and recommend to the Board whether to accept such tendered resignation. Except in special circumstances, the Committee will be expected to accept and recommend acceptance of the resignation by the Board. A press release disclosing the Board’s determination (and the reasons for rejecting the resignation, if applicable) will be issued within 90 days following the date of the relevant meeting of shareholders and a copy of the press release will be sent concurrently to the NEO Exchange, provided that the Company’s common stock is then listed for trading on the NEO Exchange. The director’s resignation, if accepted, will become effective immediately upon acceptance thereof by the Board.

 

Any director who tenders his or her resignation pursuant to the Policy will not participate in the recommendation of the Committee or the decision of the Board with respect to such resignation.

 

Subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable law, where the Board accepts a resignation in accordance with the Policy, the Board may (i) leave the director vacancy unfilled until the next annual meeting of shareholders, (ii) fill the vacancy through the appointment of a new director, or (iii) call a special meeting of shareholders at which a new candidate will be presented to fill the vacant position.

 

The Policy applies only in circumstances involving an uncontested election of directors. For purposes of the Policy, an “uncontested election” of directors of the Company means an election held at any meeting of shareholders called for, either alone or with other matters, the election of directors, with respect to which the number of nominees for election is equal to the number of positions on the Board to be filled through the election to be conducted at such meeting.

 

COVID-19 Effect

 

Due to the unprecedented effect and related impact of Covid-19 pandemic, the Company has experienced a push back from the Company’s resellers and white label distributors from April 2020, for its Platform as a Service pay-to-use subscription basis. The Company is expecting an uncertain outlook in its service revenues, as its operations in South East Asia are currently being disrupted by the continuing impact of Covid-19 pandemic. In particular, our PAY/GOLogiq associate revenues have been reduced as offices and compulsory lock down protocols are being implemented, which are expected to be in force until the majority of the populous have been vaccinated through to the end of calendar year 2021.

Revenue (Service)

Liquidity and Capital Resources  

 

During the six month period ended June 30, 2021, our primary sources of capital came from (i) cash flows from our operations, predominantly from providing services under our AppLogiq platform and DataLogiq platform, (ii) existing cash, (iii) government loans, (iii) the March 2021 sales of 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $500,000, (iv) the April 2021 sale of 429,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $1,774,691 before deducting offering expenses, and (v) the June 2021 sale of 1,976,434 Units in connection with the Company’s Offering in Canada for gross proceeds of approximately $4,742,303 before deducting offering expenses.

 

Although there are signs that COVID-19 may begin to taper off, COVID-19 still has an impact on worldwide economic activity, and the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted, and may continue to adversely impact, many aspects of our business. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many state, local, and foreign governments have put in place restrictions in order to control the spread of the disease. Such restrictions, or the perception that further restrictions could occur, have resulted in business closures, work stoppages, slowdowns and delays, work-from-home policies, travel restrictions, and cancellation or postponement of events, among other effects that impacted productivity and disrupted our operations and those of our partners, suppliers, contractors, vendors, and customers.

37

 

 

One way that COVID-19 has directly affected our operations is that some of the Company’s resellers and white label distributors located in South East Asia have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, PAY/GoLogiq associate revenues have been reduced as offices and compulsory lock down protocols are still being implemented in these regions, and the Company’s management expects that such measures will be in force until the majority of the populous have been vaccinated through to the end of calendar year 2021.

 

During the pandemic, as state, local, and foreign governments implemented (and may continue to implement) preventative measures to contain or mitigate the outbreak of COVID-19, the usage of our products and services fluctuated, and we cannot predict how usage levels will continue to be impacted by these preventative measures. There is no assurance that customers will continue to use our products and services, or to the same extent, as the COVID-19 pandemic begins to taper off or when it has ended. As a result, it has been difficult to accurately forecast our revenues or financial results, especially given that the near and long term impact of the pandemic remains uncertain. In addition, while the potential impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our business in particular may be difficult to assess or predict, the pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, and may reduce our ability to access additional capital, which could negatively affect our liquidity in the future. Our results of operations could be materially below our forecasts as well, which could adversely affect our results of operations, disappoint analysts and investors, or cause our stock price to decline.

 

Furthermore, a decrease in the usage of our products and services in a given period could negatively affect our revenues in future periods. The COVID-19 pandemic may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our December 31, 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We may take further actions that alter our operations as may be required by federal, state, or local authorities, or which we determine are in our best interests. While much of our operations can be performed remotely, certain activities require personnel to be on-site, and our ability to carry out these activities have been, and may continue to be negatively impacted if our employees or local personnel are not able to travel. In addition, for activities that may be conducted remotely, there is no guarantee that we will be as effective while working remotely because our team is dispersed and many employees and their families have been negatively affected, mentally or physically, by the COVID-19 pandemic. Decreased effectiveness and availability of our team could harm our business. In addition, we may decide to postpone or cancel planned investments in our business in response to changes in our business as a result of the spread of COVID-19, which may impact our ability to attract and retain customers and our rate of innovation, either of which could harm our business.

 

We do not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on our business, operations, or the global economy as a whole. While there have recently been vaccines developed and administered, and certain government orders and restrictions in particular cities, counties, and states have been lifted as the spread of COVID-19 starts to get contained and mitigated, we cannot predict the timing of the vaccine roll-out globally or the efficacy of such vaccines, and we do not yet know how businesses, customers, contractors, vendors, distributors, or our partners will operate in a post COVID-19 environment, especially if additional or supplemental governmental orders, limitations, and restrictions are reinstated. There may be additional costs or impacts to our business and operations, including when we are able to resume in-person activities, travel, and events. In addition, there is no guarantee that a future outbreak of this or any other widespread epidemics will not occur, or that the global economy will recover, either of which could harm our business.

 

Although the Company’s revenue growth during the six months period ended June 30, 2021 and the prior year slowed due to the effects of COVID-19, the Company was able to mitigate the effects, to some degree, of the reduced revenue attributable to the economic impact of COVID-19 as a result of a shift of targeting high margin end customer segment compared to low margin high volume white label resellers, and implementing cost containment measures.

 

Our sources of liquidity and cash flows are used to fund ongoing operations, research and development projects for new products and technologies, and provide ongoing support services for our customers. Over the next two fiscal years, we anticipate that we will use our liquidity and cash flows from our operations to fund our growth, particularly to grow our data sales. In addition, as part of our business strategy, we occasionally evaluate potential acquisitions of businesses, products and technologies, and minority equity investments. Accordingly, a portion of our available cash may be used at any time for the acquisition of complementary products or businesses or minority equity investments. Such potential transactions may require substantial capital resources, which may require us to seek additional debt or equity financing. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully identify suitable acquisition or investment candidates, complete acquisitions or investments, integrate acquired businesses into our current operations, or expand into new markets. Furthermore, we cannot provide assurances that additional financing will be available to us in any required time frame and on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

 

As of June 30, 2021, we currently have budgeted capital expenditures. Our capex & R&D plans are dependent on the availability of working capital and is able to be scaled back without penalty as required.

 

38

 

 

We know of no material trends in our capital trends aside from the funds to be raised in future offerings. We have focused our resources behind a plan to grow our data sales, where we have a technology advantage and higher margins. If we are successful in implementing our plan, we expect to return to a positive cash flow from operations. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve this objective.

 

We know of no trends or demands reasonably likely to affect liquidity other than those listed under the section titled, “Risk Factors” in this quarterly report.

 

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

 

    For the six months
June 30,
 
Cash flows:   2021     2020  
Net cash (used in) operating activities   $ (7,341,252 )   $ (3,850,885 )
Net cash (used in) provided by investment activities   $ (303,682 )   $ 2,831,935  
Net cash provided by financing activities   $ 9,942,895     $ 1,906,084  

 

Operating Activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, (loss) from operations used $(9,466,235), compared to $(4,227,223) for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Our net (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased to $(9,057,384) and $(4,488,638) respectively compared to the same period last year. Depreciation and amortization increased to $1,720,276 and $899,249 respectively compared to the same period last year as a result of acquisitions of Fixel AI and Rebel AI. Movement in changes in operating assets and liabilities was $(7,341,252) and $(3,850,885) as a result of increase in accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our DataLogiq segment. Accrued liabilities in our AppLogiq segment increased in the six months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of an increase in professional fees as compared to the same period last year due to the acquisition of the DataLogiq segment and its subsidiaries.

 

Investing Activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we did use cash $(303,682) for investing activities in the Company’s financial asset investment portfolio based and managed in the US, compared to $2,831,935 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The investment is reduced as a result of the funding requirements of the Company in six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to same period in 2020.

 

Financing Activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we generated $9,942,895 from financing activities, compared to $1,906,084 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily from the proceeds from the sale of common stock.

 

We estimate that based on current plans, assumptions and fund raising plans, that our available cash and the cash we generate from our core operations will generally be sufficient to satisfy our budgeted capital expenditures, which are capable of being scaled back without penalty, under our present operating expectations. Based on the foregoing, we have sufficient working capital to fund our existing operations and obligations. However, we shall continue to evaluate our capital expenditure needs based upon factors including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of our sales and marketing, the timing of new product introductions, and the continuing market acceptance of our products and services. If cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may open a revolving line of credit with a bank, or we may have to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain expanded credit facilities to fund our operating expenses, or delay our expansion plans or pay our obligations, diversify our geographical reach, and grow our Company. In the event such financing is needed in the future, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available to us, or, if available, that it will be in amounts and on terms acceptable to us. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need or want them, our operations and prospects could be negatively affected. However, if cash flows from operations become insufficient to continue operations at the current level, and if no additional financing were obtained, then management would restructure the Company in a way to preserve its business while maintaining expenses within operating cash flows.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic and current reports that we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings, litigation or claims, nor are aware of any pending, threatened, or unasserted claims, which, if determined adversely to us, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We may from time to time, be a party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors. 

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Please carefully consider the information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item I A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. In evaluating our business, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act. The occurrence of any of the risks discussed in such filings, or other events that we do not currently anticipate or that we currently deem immaterial, could harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We believe that our customers rigorously evaluate our solution and service offerings on the basis of a number of factors, including, but not limited to: quality; price competitiveness; technical expertise and development capability; innovation; reliability and timeliness of delivery; operational flexibility; customer service; and overall management.

 

Our success depends on our ability to continue to meet our customers’ changing requirements and specifications with respect to these and other criteria. There can be no assurance that we will be able to address technological advances or introduce new offerings that may be necessary to remain competitive within the mobile apps industry.

 

Systems failures could cause interruptions in our services or decreases in the responsiveness of our services which could harm our business.

 

If our systems fail to perform for any reason, we could experience disruptions in operations, slower response times, or decreased customer satisfaction. Our ability to host mobile apps successfully and provide high quality customer service depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our hosting company’s computer and communications hardware and software systems. Although unlikely, our hosting company’s systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from human error, natural disasters, power loss, telecommunication failures, break-ins, sabotage, computer viruses, intentional acts of vandalism, and similar events. Any systems failure that causes an interruption in our services or decreases the responsiveness of our services could impair our reputation, damage our brand name, and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows.

If our security is breached, our business could be disrupted, our operating results could be harmed, and customers could be deterred from using our products and services.

 

Our business relies on the secure electronic transmission, storage, and hosting of sensitive information, including financial information, and other sensitive information relating to our customers, company, and workforce. As a result, we face some risk of a deliberate or unintentional incident involving unauthorized access to our computer systems (including, among other methods, cyber- attacks or social engineering) that could result in misappropriation or loss of assets or sensitive information, data corruption, or other disruption of business operations. In light of this risk, we have devoted significant resources to protecting and maintaining the confidentiality of our information, including implementing security and privacy programs and controls, training our workforce, and implementing new technology. We have no guarantee that these programs and controls will be adequate to prevent all possible security threats. We believe that any compromise of our electronic systems, including the unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of sensitive information or a significant disruption of our computing assets and networks, would adversely affect our reputation and our ability to fulfill contractual obligations, and would require us to devote significant financial and other resources to mitigate such problems, and could increase our future cyber security costs. Moreover, unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of such sensitive information could result in contractual or other liability. In addition, any real or perceived compromise of our security or disclosure of sensitive information may result in lost revenues by deterring customers from using or purchasing our products and services in the future or prompting them to use competing service providers.

 

Delays in the release of new or enhanced products or services or undetected errors in our products or services may result in increased cost to us, delayed market acceptance of our products, and delayed or lost revenue.

 

To achieve market acceptance, new or enhanced products or services can require long development and testing periods, which may result in delays in scheduled introduction. Any delays in the release schedule for new or enhanced products or services may delay market acceptance of these products or services and may result in delays in new or existing customers from using these new or enhanced products or services or the loss of new or existing customers. In addition, new or enhanced products or services may contain a number of undetected errors or “bugs” when they are first released. Although we extensively test each new or enhanced product or service before it is released to the market, there can be no assurance that significant errors will not be found in existing or future releases. As a result, in the months following the introduction of certain releases, we may need to devote significant resources to correct these errors. There can be no assurance, however, that all of these errors can be corrected.

 

Defects or errors in our applications could harm our reputation, result in significant cost to us and impair our ability to market our products and services.

 

Our applications may contain defects or errors, some of which may be material. Errors may result from our own technology or from the interface of our cloud-based solutions with legacy systems and data, which we did not develop. The risk of errors is particularly significant when a new product is first introduced or when new versions or enhancements of existing products are released. The likelihood of errors is increased when we do more frequent releases of new products and enhancements of existing products. We have, from time to time, found defects in our applications. Although these past defects have not resulted in any litigation against us to date, we have invested significant capital, technical, managerial, and other resources to investigate and correct these past defects and we have needed to divert these resources from other development efforts. In addition, material performance problems or defects in our applications may arise in the future. Material defects in our cloud-based solutions could result in a reduction in sales, delay in market acceptance of our applications, or credits or refunds to our customers. In addition, such defects may lead to the loss of existing customers and difficulty in attracting new customers, diversion of development resources, or harm to our reputation. Correction of defects or errors could prove to be impossible or impractical. The costs incurred in correcting any defects or errors or in responding to resulting claims or liability may be substantial and could adversely affect our operating results.

 

If we are not able to reliably meet our data storage and management requirements, or if we experience any failure or interruption in the delivery of our services over the Internet, customer satisfaction and our reputation could be harmed and customer contracts may be terminated.

 

As part of our current business model, we deliver our applications over the Internet and store and manage hundreds of terabytes of data for our customers, resulting in substantial information technology infrastructure and ongoing technological challenges, which we expect to continue to increase over time. If we do not reliably meet these data storage and management requirements, or if we experience any failure or interruption in the delivery of our services over the Internet, customer satisfaction and our reputation could be harmed, leading to reduced revenues and increased expenses. Our hosting services are subject to service-level agreements and, in the event that we fail to meet guaranteed service or performance levels, we could be subject to customer credits or termination of these customer contracts. If the cost of meeting these data storage and management requirements increases, our results of operations could be harmed.

 

42

 

 

Upgrading our products and services could result in implementation issues and business disruptions.

 

We update our products and services on a periodic basis. In doing so, we face the possibility that existing customers will find the updated product and/or service unacceptable, or new customers may not be as interested as they have been in the past versions. Furthermore, translation errors might introduce new software and/or technical bugs that will not be caught.

 

New entrants and the introduction of other platforms in our markets may harm our competitive position.

 

The markets for development, distribution, and sale of offering SMBs a platform to create mobile apps for their business are rapidly evolving. New entrants seeking to gain market share by introducing new technology, new products, and new platforms may make it more difficult for us to sell our products which could create increased pricing pressure, reduced profit margins, increased sales and marketing expenses, or the loss of market share or expected market share, any of which may significantly harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Our future success depends on our ability to develop and successfully introduce new and enhanced products that meet the needs of our customers.

 

Our sales depend on our ability to anticipate our existing and prospective customers’ needs and develop products that address those needs. Our future success will depend on our ability to design new products, anticipate technological improvements and enhancements, and to develop products that are competitive in the rapidly changing mobile apps industry. Introduction of new products and product enhancements will require coordination of our efforts with our customers to develop products that offer performance features desired by our customers and performance and functionality superior or more cost effective than solutions offered by our competitors. If we fail to coordinate these efforts, develop product enhancements or introduce new products that meet the needs of our customers as scheduled, our operating results will be materially and adversely affected, and our business and prospects will be harmed. We cannot assure that product introductions will meet our anticipated release schedules or that our products will be competitive in the market. Furthermore, given the rapidly changing nature of the mobile apps market, there can be no assurance our products and technology will not be rendered obsolete by alternative or competing technologies.

 

Our cost structure is partially fixed. If our revenues decline and we are unable to reduce our costs, our profitability will be adversely affected.

 

Our cost structure is partially fixed, and if our revenues decrease, these fixed costs will not be reduced. We base our cost structure on historical and expected levels of demand for our services, as well as our fixed operating infrastructure, such as computer hardware, software, and staffing levels. If demand for our services declines, and as a result, our revenues decline, we may not be able to adjust our cost structure on a timely basis and our profitability may be materially adversely affected.

 

Attrition of customers and failure to attract new customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and cash flows.

 

Although we offer mobile apps designed to support and retain our customers, our efforts to attract new customers or prevent attrition of our existing customers may not be successful. If we are unable to retain our existing customers or acquire new customers in a cost-effective manner, our business, financial condition and results of operations, and cash flows would likely be adversely affected. Although we have spent significant resources on business development and related expenses and plan to continue to do so, these efforts may not be cost-effective at attracting new customers.

 

43

 

 

Our ability to sustain or increase revenues will depend upon our success in entering new markets, continuing to increase our customer base, and in deriving additional revenues from our existing customers.

 

One component of our overall business strategy is to derive more revenues from our existing customers by expanding their use of our products and services. Such strategy would have our customers utilize our PaaS platforms and our tools and components to leverage vast amounts of information stored in both corporate databases and public data sources in order to make informed business decisions during the research and development process. In addition, we seek to expand into new markets, and new areas within our existing markets, by potentially acquiring businesses in these markets, attracting and retaining personnel knowledgeable in these markets, identifying the needs of these markets, and developing marketing programs to address these needs. If successfully implemented, these strategies could increase the usage of our PaaS platforms from SMBs operating within our existing customer base, as well as by new customers in other industries. However, if our strategies are not successfully implemented, our products and services may not achieve market acceptance or penetration in targeted new departments within our existing customers or in new industries. As a result, we may incur additional costs and expend additional resources without being able to sustain or increase revenue.

 

If we are not successful in selecting and integrating the businesses and technologies we acquire, or in managing our current and future divestitures, our business may suffer.

 

Over the years, we have expanded our business through acquisitions. We continue to search to acquire businesses and technologies and form strategic alliances. However, businesses and technologies may not be available on terms and conditions we find acceptable. We risk spending time and money investigating and negotiating with potential acquisition or alliance partners, but not completing transactions. Even if completed, acquisitions and alliances involve numerous risks which may include: difficulties in achieving business and continuing financial success; difficulties and expenses incurred in assimilating and integrating operations, services, products, technologies, or pre-existing relationships with our customers, distributors, and suppliers; challenges with developing and operating new businesses, including those which are materially different from our existing businesses and which may require the development or acquisition of new internal capabilities and expertise; challenges of maintaining staffing at the acquired entities, including loss of key employees; potential losses resulting from undiscovered liabilities of acquired companies that are not covered by the indemnification we may obtain from the seller(s); the presence or absence of adequate internal controls and/or significant fraud in the financial systems of acquired companies; diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns; acquisitions could be dilutive to earnings, or in the event of acquisitions made through the issuance of our common stock to the shareholders of the acquired company, dilutive to the percentage of ownership of our existing shareholders; new technologies and products may be developed which cause businesses or assets we acquire to become less valuable; and risks that disagreements or disputes with prior owners of an acquired business, technology, service, or product may result in litigation expenses and distribution of our management’s attention. In the event that an acquired business or technology or an alliance does not meet our expectations, our results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

Some of the same risks exist when we decide to sell a business, site, product line, or division. In addition, divestitures could involve additional risks, including the following: difficulties in the separation of operations, services, products, and personnel; and the need to agree to retain or assume certain current or future liabilities in order to complete the divestiture. We evaluate the performance and strategic fit of our businesses. These and any divestitures may result in significant write-offs, including those related to goodwill and other intangible assets, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we may encounter difficulty in finding buyers or alternative exit strategies at acceptable prices and terms and in a timely manner. We may not be successful in managing these or any other significant risks that we encounter in divesting a business, site, product line, or division, and as a result, we may not achieve some or all of the expected benefits of the divestitures.

 

If we are unable to manage our growth and expand our operations successfully, our business and operating results will be harmed and our reputation may be damaged.

 

We have expanded our operations significantly since inception and anticipate that further significant expansion will be required to achieve our business objectives. The growth and expansion of our business and product offerings places a continuous and significant strain on our management, operational, and financial resources. Any such future growth would also add complexity to and require effective coordination throughout our organization. To manage any future growth effectively, we must continue to improve and expand our information technology and financial infrastructure, our operating and administrative systems and controls, and our ability to manage headcount, capital and processes in an efficient manner. We may not be able to successfully implement improvements to these systems and processes in a timely or efficient manner, which could result in additional operating inefficiencies and could cause our costs to increase more than planned. If we do increase our operating expenses in anticipation of the growth of our business and this growth does not meet our expectations, our operating results may be negatively impacted. If we are unable to manage future expansion, our ability to provide high quality products and services could be harmed, which could damage our reputation and brand and may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

 

44

 

 

We may be unable to respond to customers’ demands for new mobile app solutions and service offerings, and our business, financial condition and results of operations, and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.

 

Our customers may demand new mobile app solutions and service offerings. If we fail to identify these demands from customers or update our offerings accordingly, new offerings provided by our competitors may render our existing solutions and services less competitive. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to respond to customers’ demands for new offerings on a timely and cost-effective basis and to adapt to address the increasingly sophisticated requirements and varied needs of our customers and prospective customers. We may not be successful in developing, introducing or marketing new offerings. In addition, our new offerings may not achieve market acceptance. Any failure on our part to anticipate or respond adequately to customer requirements, or any significant delays in the development, introduction or availability of new offerings or enhancements of our current offerings could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows.

 

Increasing competition and increasing costs within our customers’ industries may affect the demand for our products and services, which may affect our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our customers’ demand for our products is impacted by continued demand for their products and by our customers’ research and development costs, budget costs, and capital expenditures. Demand for our customers’ products could decline, and prices charged by our customers for their products may decline, as a result of increasing competition that our customers face in their respective industries. In addition, our customers’ expenses could continue to increase as a result of increasing costs of complying with government regulations and other factors. A decrease in demand for our customers’ products, pricing pressures associated with the sales of these products, and additional costs associated with product development could cause our customers to reduce their research and development costs, budget costs, and capital expenditures. Although we believe our products can help our customers increase productivity, generate additional sales, and reduce costs in many areas, because our products and services depend on such research and development, budget, and capital expenditures, our revenues may be significantly reduced.

 

We are subject to pricing pressures in some of the markets we serve.

 

The market for PaaS for the SMB industry is intensely competitive. In response to increased competition and general adverse economic conditions in this market, we may be required to modify our pricing practices. Changes in our pricing model could adversely affect our revenue and earnings.

 

We may be unable to respond to the evolving industry practices and technology solutions, and our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.

 

To remain competitive as a mobile app provider, we must continue to invest in research and development of new technology solutions in order to keep up with the ever-evolving industry practices and enhancements to our existing solutions. The process of developing new technologies, products and services is complex and expensive. The introduction of new solutions by our competitors, the market acceptance of competitive solutions based on new or alternative technologies or the emergence of new industry practices could render our solutions less competitive.

 

We derive a significant percentage of our revenues from a concentrated group of customers and the loss of more than one of our major customers could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. 

 

The three (3) same customers accounted for 13.05%, 9.23% and 7.99% of net sales for fiscal year 2019. The three (3) same customers accounted for 16.43%, 6.15% and 5.38% of net sales for fiscal year 2018. The three (3) same customers accounted for 14.78%, 7.18% and 5.34% of net sales for fiscal year 2017. The loss of any of our major customers could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We may not be able to maintain our customer relationships, and our customers may delay payment under, or fail to renew, their agreements with us, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition. Any reduction in the amount of revenues that we derive from these customers, without an offsetting increase in new sales to other customers, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. A significant change in the liquidity or financial position of our customers could also have a material adverse effect on the collectability of our accounts receivable, our liquidity, and our future operating results.

The loss of any of our major customers could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We may not be able to maintain our customer relationships, and our customers may delay payment under, or fail to renew, their agreements with us, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition. We may not be able to maintain our customer relationships, and our customers may delay payment under, or fail to renew, their agreements with us, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition. Any reduction in the amount of revenues that we derive from these customers, without an offsetting increase in new sales to other customers, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. A significant change in the liquidity or financial position of our customers could also have a material adverse effect on the collectability of our accounts receivable, our liquidity, and our future operating results.

 

However, with the new business segment of DataLogiq, on a consolidated revenue basis, there is no significant customer concentration in the three months ended June 30, 2021 and the same period in 2020.

 

Our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to avoid material impact on our financial position or results of operations resulting from claims or liabilities against us, and we may not be able to obtain insurance coverage in the future.

 

We maintain insurance coverage for protection against many risks of liability. The extent of our insurance coverage is under continuous review and is modified as we deem it necessary. Despite this insurance, it is possible that claims or liabilities against us may have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations. In addition, we may not be able to obtain any insurance coverage, or adequate insurance coverage, when our existing insurance coverage expires.

 

We depend on key personnel and may not be able to retain these employees or recruit additional qualified personnel, which could harm our business.

 

Our success depends to a significant extent on the continued services of our senior management and other members of management. We have contractual agreements with our CEO, CFO, and COO.

 

If our CEO, CFO, COO, or other members of senior management do not continue in their present positions, our business may suffer. Because of the nature of our business, we are highly dependent upon attracting and retaining qualified personnel. While we have a strong record of employee retention, there is still significant competition for qualified personnel in our industry. Therefore, we may not be able to attract and retain the qualified personnel necessary for the development of our business. The loss of the services of existing personnel, as well as the failure to recruit additional key technical, UX, and managerial personnel in a timely manner, could harm our business.

 

We must successfully navigate the demand, supply and operational challenges associated with the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

 

Although there are signs that COVID-19 may begin to taper off, COVID-19 still has an impact on worldwide economic activity, and the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted, and may continue to adversely impact, many aspects of our business. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many state, local, and foreign governments have put in place restrictions in order to control the spread of the disease. Such restrictions, or the perception that further restrictions could occur, have resulted in business closures, work stoppages, slowdowns and delays, work-from-home policies, travel restrictions, and cancellation or postponement of events, among other effects that impacted productivity and disrupted our operations and those of our partners, suppliers, contractors, vendors, and customers.

 

One way that COVID-19 has directly affected our operations is that some of the Company’s resellers and white label distributors located in South East Asia have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, PAY/GoLogiq associate revenues have been reduced as offices and compulsory lock down protocols are still being implemented in these regions, and the Company’s management expects that such measures will be in force until the majority of the populous have been vaccinated through to the end of calendar year 2021.

 

During the pandemic, as state, local, and foreign governments implemented (and may continue to implement) preventative measures to contain or mitigate the outbreak of COVID-19, the usage of our products and services fluctuated, and we cannot predict how usage levels will continue to be impacted by these preventative measures. There is no assurance that customers will continue to use our products and services, or to the same extent, as the COVID-19 pandemic begins to taper off or when it has ended. As a result, it has been difficult to accurately forecast our revenues or financial results, especially given that the near and long term impact of the pandemic remains uncertain. In addition, while the potential impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our business in particular may be difficult to assess or predict, the pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, and may reduce our ability to access additional capital, which could negatively affect our liquidity in the future. Our results of operations could be materially below our forecasts as well, which could adversely affect our results of operations, disappoint analysts and investors, or cause our stock price to decline.

 

46

 

 

Furthermore, a decrease in the usage of our products and services in a given period could negatively affect our revenues in future periods. The COVID-19 pandemic may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our December 31, 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We may take further actions that alter our operations as may be required by federal, state, or local authorities, or which we determine are in our best interests. While much of our operations can be performed remotely, certain activities require personnel to be on-site, and our ability to carry out these activities have been, and may continue to be negatively impacted if our employees or local personnel are not able to travel. In addition, for activities that may be conducted remotely, there is no guarantee that we will be as effective while working remotely because our team is dispersed and many employees and their families have been negatively affected, mentally or physically, by the COVID-19 pandemic. Decreased effectiveness and availability of our team could harm our business. In addition, we may decide to postpone or cancel planned investments in our business in response to changes in our business as a result of the spread of COVID-19, which may impact our ability to attract and retain customers and our rate of innovation, either of which could harm our business.

 

We do not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on our business, operations, or the global economy as a whole. While there have recently been vaccines developed and administered, and certain government orders and restrictions in particular cities, counties, and states have been lifted as the spread of COVID-19 starts to get contained and mitigated, we cannot predict the timing of the vaccine roll-out globally or the efficacy of such vaccines, and we do not yet know how businesses, customers, contractors, vendors, distributors, or our partners will operate in a post COVID-19 environment, especially if additional or supplemental governmental orders, limitations, and restrictions are reinstated. There may be additional costs or impacts to our business and operations, including when we are able to resume in-person activities, travel, and events. In addition, there is no guarantee that a future outbreak of this or any other widespread epidemics will not occur, or that the global economy will recover, either of which could harm our business.

 

Although the Company’s revenue growth during the six months period ended June 30, 2021 and the prior year slowed due to the effects of COVID-19, the Company was able to mitigate the effects, to some degree, of the reduced revenue attributable to the economic impact of COVID-19 as a result of a shift of targeting high margin end customer segment compared to low margin high volume white label resellers, and implementing cost containment measures.

 

We are subject to risks associated with the operation of a global business.

 

We derive a significant portion of our total revenue from our operations in international markets. During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and the same period in 2020, 30.2% and 78.7% respectively of our total revenue was derived from our international operations. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, 100%, of our total revenue was derived from our international operations. In the year ended December 31, 2020, 57% was derived from our international operations. Our global business may be affected by local economic conditions, including inflation, recession, and currency exchange rate fluctuations. In addition, political and economic changes, including international conflicts, including terrorist acts, throughout the world may interfere with our or our customers’ activities in particular locations and result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results. Potential trade restrictions, exchange controls, adverse tax consequences, and legal restrictions may affect the repatriation of funds into the U.S. Also, we could be subject to unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, the difficulties of compliance with a wide variety of foreign laws and regulations, potentially negative consequences from changes in or interpretations of U.S. and foreign tax laws, import and export licensing requirements, and longer accounts receivable cycles in certain foreign countries. These risks, individually or in the aggregate, could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Potential changes in U.S. and international tax law.

 

Tax proposals to reform corporate tax law are constantly being considered. Proposals include both increasing and reducing the corporate statutory tax rate, broadening the corporate tax base through the elimination or reduction of deductions, exclusions, and credits, implementing a territorial regime of taxation, limiting the ability of U.S. corporations to deduct interest expense associated with offshore earnings, modifying the foreign tax credit rules, and reducing the ability to defer U.S. tax on offshore earnings. These or other changes in the U.S. tax laws could increase our effective tax rate, which would affect our profitability.

 

Changes in government regulation or in practices relating to mobile apps and e-wallet industries could decrease the need for the products and services we provide.

 

Governmental agencies throughout the world, including but not limited to the U.S., regulate mobile apps, e-wallets, and the products and services we offer to our customers. Changes in regulations, such as a relaxation in regulatory requirements, or an increase in regulatory requirements that we have difficulty satisfying or that make our products and services less competitive, could eliminate or substantially reduce the demand for our products and services.

 

47

 

 

Any negative commentaries made by any regulatory agencies or any failure by us to comply with applicable regulations and related guidance could harm our reputation and operating results, and compliance with new regulations and guidance may result in additional costs.

 

Any negative commentaries made by any regulatory agencies or any failure on our part to comply with applicable regulations could result in the termination of customers using our products and services. This could harm our reputation, our prospects for generating future revenue, and our operating results. If our operations are found to violate any applicable law or other governmental regulations, we might be subject to civil and criminal penalties, damages, and fines. Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses, divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business, and damage our reputation.

 

Current and future litigation against us, which may arise in the ordinary course of our business, could be costly and time consuming to defend.

 

We are subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as claims brought by our customers in connection with commercial disputes and employment claims made by our current or former employees. Third parties may in the future assert intellectual property rights to technologies that are important to our business and demand back royalties or demand that we license their technology. Litigation may result in substantial costs and may divert management’s attention and resources, which may seriously harm our business, overall financial condition, and operating results. Insurance may not cover such claims, may not be sufficient for one or more such claims, and may not continue to be available on terms acceptable to us. A claim brought against us that is uninsured or underinsured could result in unanticipated costs, negatively affecting our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

We could incur substantial costs resulting from product liability claims relating to our products or services or our customers’ use of our products or services.

 

Any failure or errors caused by our products or services could result in a claim for substantial damages against us by our customers, regardless of our responsibility for the failure. Although we are generally entitled to indemnification under our customer contracts against claims brought against us by third parties arising out of our customers’ use of our products, we might find ourselves entangled in lawsuits against us that, even if unsuccessful, may divert our resources and energy and adversely affect our business. Further, in the event we seek indemnification from a customer, a court may not enforce our indemnification right if the customer challenges it or the customer may not be able to fund any amounts for indemnification owed to us. In addition, our existing insurance coverage may not continue to be available on reasonable terms or may not be available in amounts sufficient to cover one or more large claims, or the insurer may disclaim coverage as to any future claim.

 

As a public company, we may incur significant administrative workload and expenses in connection with new and changing compliance requirements.

 

As a public company with common stock quoted on OTCQX and the NEO Exchange in Canada, we must comply with various laws, regulations and requirements. New laws and regulations, as well as changes to existing laws and regulations affecting public companies, including the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, rules adopted by the SEC, and Canadian securities legislation may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention as we respond to new requirements.

 

There can be no assurance that we will be successful in maintaining our existing contractual relationships with our customers.

 

Our customers have in the past, and may in the future, negotiate agreements that are short-term and subject to renewal, non-exclusive and/or terminable at the option of the customer on relatively short notice or no notice and without penalty. In the event that such contracts are terminated, the customer is generally required to pay the Company costs associated with any work completed as of the date of the termination. While contract termination is rare, there can be no assurance that long-term contractual relationships will not be terminated, which could adversely affect the Company.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

 

Our quarterly and annual operating results fluctuate and may continue to fluctuate in the future, and if we fail to meet the expectations of analysts or investors, our stock price and the value of your investment could decline substantially.

 

We believe that operating results for any particular quarter are not necessarily a meaningful indication of future results. Nonetheless, fluctuations in our quarterly operating results could negatively affect the market price of our common stock. Our results of operations in any quarter or annual period have varied in the past, and may vary from quarter to quarter or year to year and are influenced by such factors as:

 

  changes in the general global economy;

 

  changes in customer budget cycles;

 

  the number and scope of ongoing customer engagements;

 

  changes in the mix of our products and services;

 

  competitive pricing pressures;

 

  the extent of cost overruns;

 

  buying patterns of our customers;

 

  the timing of new product releases by us or our competitors;

 

  general economic factors, including factors relating to disruptions in the world credit and equity markets and the related impact on our customers’ access to capital;

 

  our earnings releases, actual or anticipated changes in our earnings, fluctuations in our operating results or our failure to meet the expectations of financial market analysts and investors;

 

  changes in financial estimates by us or by any securities analysts who might cover our stock;

 

  speculation about our business in the press or the investment community;

 

  significant developments relating to our relationships with our customers or suppliers;

 

  stock market price and volume fluctuations of other publicly traded companies and, in particular, those that are in our industry;

 

  customer demand for our business solutions;

 

  investor perceptions of our industry in general and our Company in particular;

 

  the operating and stock performance of comparable companies;

 

  the timing and charges associated with completed acquisitions, divestitures, and other events;

 

  changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretation or principles;

 

  changes in tax laws, rules, regulations, and tax rates in the locations in which we operate;

 

  exchange rate fluctuations;

 

  loss of external funding sources;

 

  sales of our common stock, including sales by our directors, officers or significant stockholders; and

 

  addition or departure of key personnel.

 

Securities class action litigation is often instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. Should this type of litigation be instituted against us, it could result in substantial costs to us and divert our management’s attention and resources.

 

Moreover, securities markets may from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our common stock and other interests in our Company at a time when you may want to sell your interest in our common stock.

If securities or industry analysts issue an adverse opinion regarding our stock or do not publish research or reports about our company, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

 

The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that equity research analysts publish about us and our business. We anticipate having limited analyst coverage and we may continue to have inadequate analyst coverage in the future. Even if we obtain adequate analyst coverage, we would have no control over such analysts or the content and opinions in their reports. Securities analysts may elect not to provide research coverage of our company and such lack of research coverage may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. The price of our common stock could also decline if one or more equity research analysts downgrade our common stock or if those analysts issue other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing reports about us or our business. If one or more equity research analysts cease coverage of our company, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.

 

Substantial future sales of shares of our common stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

 

The market price of our Common Shares could decline as a result of substantial sales of our Common Shares (particularly sales by our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders), a large number of Common Shares becoming available for sale or the perception in the market that holders of a large number of Common Shares intend to sell. Moreover, we may enter into agreements with certain holders of our Common Shares which could give such holders certain rights, subject to some conditions, to require us to file Canadian prospectus or U.S. registration statements covering their shares or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or our stockholders.

 

As of August 13, 2021, we have 22,598,153 (post-reverse split) shares of our common stock outstanding. 

 

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management and limit the market price of our common stock.

 

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as may be amended from time to time, may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management. Some of these provisions:

 

  authorize our board of directors to issue up to 250,000,000 shares of authorized common stock;

 

  specify that special meetings of our stockholders can be called only by the Chairman of our board of directors, President, or Vice President; and

 

  provide that stockholders will not be allowed to vote cumulatively in the election of directors;

 

In addition, we are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which limits the ability of stockholders owning in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock to merge or combine with us, unless such transaction satisfies certain conditions.

 

These anti-takeover provisions and other provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as may be amended from time to time, make it more difficult for stockholders or potential acquirers to obtain control of our board of directors or initiate actions that are opposed by the then-current board of directors and could also delay or impede a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving our company. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors of your choosing or cause us to take other corporate actions you desire. Any delay or prevention of a change of control transaction or changes in our board of directors could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

 

Our inability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms in the future may limit our ability to develop and commercialize new solutions and technologies and expand our operations.

 

If our available cash balances and anticipated cash flow from operations are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, due to lower demand for our products as a result of other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section, we may seek to raise additional capital through equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations or licensing arrangements. We may also consider raising additional capital in the future to expand our business, pursue strategic investments, take advantage of financing opportunities, develop and exploit existing and new products, expand into new markets, or other reasons.

 

50

 

 

Additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to our stockholders could result. Any equity securities issued also may provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. The terms of debt securities issued or borrowings could impose significant restrictions on our operations. The incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance of certain equity securities could result in increased fixed payment obligations and could also result in restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt or issue additional equity, limitations on our ability to acquire or license intellectual property rights, and other operating restrictions that could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business. In addition, the issuance of additional equity securities by us, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline. If we do not have, or are not able to obtain, sufficient funds, we may have to delay development or commercialization of our products or license to third parties the rights to commercialize products or technologies that we would otherwise seek to commercialize. If we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements with third parties, it may be necessary to relinquish some rights to our technologies or our products, or to grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. If we are unable to raise adequate funds, we may have to liquidate some or all of our assets, or delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate some or all of our development programs. We also may have to reduce marketing, customer support or other resources devoted to our products or cease operations. Any of these actions could harm our business, operating results, and financial condition.

 

Negative Operating Cash Flow

 

The Company has negative cash flow from operating activities. There is no assurance that sufficient revenues will be generated in the near future. To the extent that the Company has negative operating cash flows in future periods, it may need to deploy a portion of its existing working capital to fund such negative cash flows.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

 

For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board deems relevant.

 

RISKS RELATED TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

 

We may be unable to adequately enforce or defend our ownership and use of our intellectual property and other proprietary rights.

 

Part of our success is dependent upon our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. We rely upon a combination of trademark, trade secret, copyright, unpatented know-how, and unfair competition laws, as well as license and access agreements and other contractual provisions, to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. In addition, we attempt to protect our intellectual property and proprietary information by requiring certain of our employees and consultants to enter into confidentiality, non-competition, and assignment-of-inventions agreements. The steps we take to protect these rights may not be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology by third parties, or may not be adequate under the laws of some foreign countries, which may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Our attempts to protect our intellectual property may be challenged by others or invalidated through administrative process or litigation, and agreement terms that address non-competition are difficult to enforce in many jurisdictions and may not be enforceable in any particular case. In addition, there remains the possibility that others will “reverse engineer” our products in order to introduce competing products, or that others will develop competing technology independently. If we resort to legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of others, the proceedings could be burdensome and expensive, even if we were to prevail. The failure to adequately protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

51

 

 

Claims by others that we infringe their intellectual property or trade secret rights could harm our business.

 

Our industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights, which has resulted in protracted and expensive litigation for many companies. Third parties may in the future assert claims of infringement of intellectual property rights against us or against our customers or channel partners for which we may be liable. As the number of products and competitors in our market increases and overlaps occur, infringement claims may increase.

 

Intellectual property or trade secret claims against us, and any resulting lawsuits, may result in our incurring significant expenses and could subject us to significant liability for damages and invalidate what we currently believe are our proprietary rights. Our involvement in any patent dispute or other intellectual property dispute or action to protect trade secrets and know-how could have a material adverse effect on our business. Adverse determinations in any litigation could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require us to seek licenses from third parties and prevent us from developing and selling our products. Any of these situations could have a material adverse effect on our business. These claims, regardless of their merits or outcome, would likely be time consuming and expensive to resolve and could divert management’s time and attention.

 

Some of our products and services utilize open source software, and any failure to comply with the terms of one or more of these open source licenses could adversely affect our business.

 

Some of our products utilize software covered by open source licenses. Open source software is typically freely accessible, usable and modifiable, and is used by our development team in an effort to reduce development costs and speed up the development process. Certain open source software licenses require a user who intends to distribute the open source software as a component of the user’s software to disclose publicly part or all of the source code to the user’s software. In addition, certain open source software licenses require the user of such software to make any derivative works of the open source code available to others on unfavorable terms or at no cost. This can subject previously proprietary software to open source license terms. While we monitor the use of all open source software in our products, processes and technology, in some areas of our business we do not have written policies and procedures for managing against the risks of potential copyright or other intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. Enforcement of such intellectual property rights may have an adverse effect on our business, such as, for example, following inadvertent use of open source software that requires us to disclose or make available the source code to related products.

 

Failure to adequately protect our trademarks and other intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions could adversely affect our business.

 

We utilize a combination of trademark, trade secret, copyright, unpatented know-how, and unfair competition laws, as well as license and access agreements and other contractual provisions, to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. We believe that having distinctive marks is important to our brand, our success, and our competitive position. The laws of some countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do U.S. laws, and there may be different levels of protection and enforceability in different foreign jurisdictions in which we do business. We have not yet pursued a global trademark registration strategy and, as such, we may be unable to successfully protect our brand names and related intellectual property rights or resolve intellectual property conflicts with others, which could adversely affect our business or financial condition. For example, we actively use the AtozPay and AtozGo brand names in Indonesia but have not pursued trademark protection in that jurisdiction to date.

 

Additionally, the agreements we use in an effort to protect our intellectual property, such as trade secrets, copyrightable works, confidential information, and other proprietary information may be ineffective or insufficient to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of such information. For example, a party to one of these agreements may breach the agreement and we may not have adequate remedies for such breach. As a result, our proprietary information may become known to others, including our competitors. Furthermore, our competitors or others may independently develop or discover our trade secrets and other proprietary information, which would render them less valuable to us.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

 

Our international sales and operations subject us to additional risks that can adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

 

Our international operations subject us to a variety of risks and challenges, including: exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, increased management, travel, infrastructure and legal compliance costs associated with having international operations; reliance on channel partners; increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexities; compliance with foreign laws and regulations; compliance with U.S. laws and regulations for foreign operations; and reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries and practical difficulties of enforcing rights abroad. Any of these risks could adversely affect our international operations, reduce our international sales or increase our operating costs, adversely affecting our business, operating results and financial condition and growth prospects.

 

52

 

 

We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and any determination that we violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, or FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We have operations, agreements with third parties and make sales in Asia, which may experience corruption. Our activities in Asia create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of the employees, consultants or agents of our company, because these parties are not always subject to our control. It is our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees. Also, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our Company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.

 

Emerging Market Risk

 

The Company derives approximately 5% of its sales from emerging markets. Emerging market investment generally poses a greater degree of risk than investment in more mature market economies because the economies in the developing world are more susceptible to destabilization resulting from domestic and international developments. The Company’s international operations are exposed to political and economic risk, including risks relating to change in government policy. The Company may accordingly be subject to a number of risks stemming from change in exchange rates, inflation, problems with the repatriation of foreign earnings, dividends and investment capital, as well as political instability in the international jurisdictions it operates in. Contractual relationships in emerging markets are subject to heightened risks and the Company may be adversely affected by, among other things, the following risks associated with emerging market economies: (i) political and social instability; (ii) government involvement, including, but not limited to, currency controls and risk of expropriation; (iii) difficulties in enforcing contractual rights; (iv) currency volatility; (v) risk of high inflation; and (vi) infrastructure issues.

 

The Company’s activities in foreign jurisdictions could be substantially affected by factors beyond its control, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company

 

The Company’s operations in foreign jurisdictions may be adversely affected by changes in foreign government policies and legislation, including corporate law, or social instability, and other factors which are not within the Company’s control. In addition, in the event of a dispute arising in connection with the Company’s operations in a foreign jurisdiction where the Company conducts its business, the Company may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts, or may not be successful in subjecting foreign persons to the jurisdictions of the courts of Canada or the U.S., or enforcing Canadian or U.S. judgments in such other jurisdictions. Accordingly, the Company’s activities in foreign jurisdictions could be substantially affected by factors beyond its control, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

The Company is subject to various risks and requirements associated with transacting business in many countries

 

The Company’s international operations expose it to trade and economic sanctions, export controls and other restrictions imposed by the United States or other governments or organizations. For example, the U.S. Departments of Justice, Commerce, State and Treasury and other U.S. federal agencies and authorities have a broad range of civil and criminal penalties they may seek to impose against corporations and individuals for violations of economic sanctions laws, export control laws, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and other U.S. federal statutes and regulations. Under these laws and regulations, the United States government may require export licenses, may seek to impose modifications to business practices, including cessation of business activities in sanctioned countries, and modifications to compliance programs, which may increase compliance costs and may subject the Company to fines, penalties and other sanctions. A violation of any of these laws or regulations could materially and adversely impact its business, operating results, and financial condition. Furthermore, the Company’s personnel could engage in unauthorized conduct for which the Company may be held responsible. Violations of such laws and regulations may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions and the Company may be subject to other liabilities, which could materially and adversely affect its financial results.

 

The Company’s ability to operate in some countries could be restricted by foreign regulations and controls on investments

 

Many countries restrict, or in the future might restrict, foreign investments in a manner adverse to the Company. These restrictions and controls may in the future restrict or preclude the Company’s investment in joint ventures or the acquisition of businesses in certain jurisdictions or may increase the cost to the Company of entering into such transactions. Various governments, particularly in the Asia/Pacific region, require governmental approval before foreign persons may make investments in domestic businesses and also limit the extent of any such investments. Furthermore, various governments may reserve the right to approve the repatriation of capital by, or the payment of dividends to, foreign investors. Restrictive policies regarding foreign investments may increase the Company’s costs of pursuing growth opportunities in foreign jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial results.

Difficulty in enforcement of judgements

 

All of our subsidiaries and the majority of our assets are located outside of Canada. Accordingly, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within Canada any judgments obtained against the Company, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of applicable Canadian securities laws. Consequently, investors may be effectively prevented from pursuing remedies against the Company under Canadian securities laws or otherwise.

 

The Company’s business and the business of its subsidiaries is conducted outside of Canada. All of the Company’s directors and officers reside outside of Canada and substantially all of the assets of these persons are located outside of Canada. It may not be possible for shareholders to effect service of process against the Company’s directors and officers who are not resident in Canada. In the event a judgment is obtained in a Canadian court against one or more of our directors or officers for violations of Canadian securities laws or otherwise, it may not be possible to enforce such judgment against those directors and officers not resident in Canada. Additionally, it may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to assert Canadian securities law claims or otherwise in original actions instituted in foreign jurisdictions. Courts in these jurisdictions may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of Canadian securities laws or otherwise on the grounds that such jurisdiction is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. Even if a foreign court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that the local law, and not Canadian law, is applicable to the claim. If Canadian law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable Canadian law must be proven as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by foreign law

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

On March 29, 2021, the Company issued 1,032,056 shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with its acquisition of Rebel.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, a total of 1,919,955 shares with par value of $0.0001 per share were issued for consultancy services received including shares issued to Senior Management, Directors, Operational Staff, Legal Consultants, Strategy Advisors and Technology Consultants received, and 3,759,017 shares with par value of $0.0001 per share were issued to various stockholders and 1,976,434 shares with par value of $0.0001 per share were issued to various stockholders of the IPO on NEO Exchange in Canada on June 21, 2021.

 

No underwriters were involved in the transactions described above. All of the securities issued in the foregoing transactions were issued by the Company in reliance upon the exemption from registration available under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, including Regulation D and/or Regulation S promulgated thereunder, in that the transactions involved the issuance and sale of the Company’s securities to financially sophisticated individuals or entities that were aware of the Company’s activities and business and financial condition, and took the securities for investment purposes and understood the ramifications of their actions. The Company did not engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising in connection with the transactions. The individuals or entities represented that they were each an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D at the time of issuance of the securities, and that each of such individuals or entities was acquiring such securities for their own account and not for distribution. All certificates, if such certificates were issued in certificated form, representing the securities issued have a legend imprinted on them stating that the shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and cannot be transferred until properly registered under the Securities Act or an exemption applies.

 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

 

None.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Other Information.

 

There is no other information required to be disclosed under this item which was not previously disclosed.
