Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), consistent in all material respects with those applied in the 2022 Form 10-K, for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes normally included in annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2022 Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of comprehensive loss, statements of stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flows for such interim periods presented. Additionally, operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year.

Business acquisition of Progressive Care, Inc.

          On July 1, 2023, the Company, Charles M. Fernandez, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Rodney Barreto, Director of the Company, exercised common stock purchase warrants and were issued common stock shares by Progressive Care. After the exercise of the common stock purchase warrants, the Company and Messrs. Fernandez and Barreto collectively owned 53% of Progressive Care’s voting common stock. At the time of exercise, all of the above common stock purchase warrants were in-the-money. Also on July 1, 2023, the Company and Messrs. Fernandez and Barreto entered into a voting agreement whereby at any annual or special shareholders meeting of Progressive Care’s stockholders, and whenever the holders of Progressive Care’s common stock act by written consent, Messrs. Fernandez and Barreto agreed to vote all of the common stock shares (including any new shares acquired after the date of the voting agreement or acquired through the conversion of securities convertible into Common Stock) that they own, directly or indirectly, in the same manner that NextPlat votes its common stock and equivalents. The voting agreement is irrevocable and perpetual in term. 

The exercise of the stock options, along with the entry into the voting agreement, resulted in a change in control of Progressive Care under the voting interest model in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combination, and was accounted for as a business acquisition. Therefore, Progressive Care became a consolidated subsidiary of the Company on July 1, 2023. The Company previously accounted for its equity interest in Progressive Care as an equity method investment. 

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain 2022 financial information has been reclassified to conform to the 2023 presentation. Such reclassifications do not impact the Company’s previously reported financial position or net income (loss).

Use of Estimates

In preparing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statements of financial condition, and revenues and expenses for the years then ended. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, assumptions used to calculate stock-based compensation, fair value of net assets acquired in the business combination with Progressive Care Inc. common stock and options issued for services, net realizable value of accounts receivables the useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, the estimate of the fair value of the lease liability and related right of use assets, and the estimates of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and corporate income taxes.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies of the Company were described in Note 1 to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Progressive Care became a consolidated subsidiary of the Company on July 1, 2023 and as a result the Company has incorporated certain significant accounting policies of Progressive Care for the three months ended September 30, 2023. 

Cash

The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s account at this institution is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. All cash amounts in excess of $250,000, approximately $2.1 million, are unsecured. In April 2023, the Company entered into a deposit placement agreement for Insured Cash Sweep Service (“ICS”). This service is a secure, and convenient way to access FDIC protection on large deposits, earn a return, and enjoy flexibility. The Company believes that the ICS agreement will mitigate its credit risk as it relates to uninsured FDIC amounts in excess of $250,000.

Foreign Currency Translation

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

The relevant translation rates are as follows: for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, closing rate at $1.22 US$: GBP, quarterly average rate at $1.26 US$: GBP, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, closing rate at $1.12 US$: GBP, quarterly average rate at $1.18 US$: GBP, for the year ended  December 31, 2022 closing rate at 1.21 US$: GBP, yearly average rate at 1.24 US$: GBP.

Unearned Revenue

Contract liabilities are shown separately in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as current liabilities. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had contract liabilities of approximately $29,000 and $36,000, respectively.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Progressive Care trade accounts receivable are stated at the invoiced amount. Trade accounts receivable primarily include amounts from third-party pharmacy benefit managers (“PBMs”) and insurance providers and are based on contracted prices. Trade accounts receivable are unsecured and require no collateral. Progressive Care records an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated differences between the expected and actual payment of accounts receivable. These reductions were made based upon reasonable and reliable estimates that were determined by reference to historical experience, contractual terms, and current conditions. Each quarter, the Progressive Care reevaluates its estimates to assess the adequacy of its allowance and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of over the value assigned to net tangible and identifiable intangible assets. Progressive Care is considered to be the reporting unit for goodwill. Acquired intangible assets other than goodwill are amortized over their useful lives unless the lives are determined to be indefinite. For intangible assets purchased in a business combination, the estimated fair values of the assets received are used to establish their recorded values. Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach, and/or cost approach are used to measure fair value. Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed annually for impairment in the fourth fiscal quarter and in interim periods if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired.

Direct and Indirect Remuneration ("DIR") Fees

Progressive Care reports DIR fees as a reduction of revenue on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. DIR fees are fees charged by PBMs to pharmacies for network participation as well as periodic reimbursement reconciliations. For some pharmacy benefit managers ("PBMs"), DIR fees are charged at the time of the settlement of a pharmacy claim. Other PBMs do not determine DIR fees at the claim settlement date, and therefore DIR fees are collected from pharmacies after claim settlement, often as clawbacks of reimbursements based on factors that vary from plan to plan. For example, two PBMs calculate DIR fees on a trimester basis and charge Progressive Care for these fees as reductions of reimbursements paid to Progressive Care two to three months after the end of the trimester (e.g., DIR fees for January – April 20xx claims were charged by these PBMs in July – August 20xx). For DIR fees that are not collected at the time of claim settlement, Progressive Care records an accrued liability at each reporting date for estimated DIR fees that are expected to be collected by the PBMs in a future period. The estimated liability for these fees is highly subjective and the actual amount collected may differ from the accrued liability. The uncertainty of management’s estimates is due to inadequate disclosure to Progressive Care by the PBMs as to exactly how these fees are calculated either at the time the DIR fees are actually assessed and reported to Progressive Care. The detail level of the disclosure of assessed DIR fees varies based on the information provided by the PBM.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which introduces an impairment model based on expected, rather than incurred, losses. Additionally, it requires expanded disclosures regarding (a) credit risk inherent in a portfolio and how management monitors the portfolio’s credit quality; (b) management’s estimate of expected credit losses; and (c) changes in estimates of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.” This ASU clarifies receivables from operating leases are accounted for using the lease guidance and not as financial instruments. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments.” This ASU clarifies various scoping and other issues arising from ASU 2016-13. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-03, “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments.” This ASU improves the Codification and amends the interaction of Topic 842 and Topic 326. ASU 2016-13 and related amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2023 and the adoption had no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, the Company will contemplate forward-looking economic conditions in recording lifetime expected credit losses for the Company’s financial assets measured at cost, such as the Company’s trade receivables.

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

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through  November [ ], 2023, the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. See Note [] for subsequent events that require disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Acquisition - Provisional

On July 1, 2023, the Company, along with Messrs. Fernandez and Barreto, exercised common stock purchase warrants and were issued common stock shares by Progressive Care. The Company exercised common stock purchase warrants on a cashless basis and was issued 402,269 common stock shares. The Company also exercised common stock purchase warrants on a cash basis and paid consideration in the amount of $506,000 and was issued 230,000 common stock shares. Mr. Fernandez exercised common stock purchase warrants on a cashless basis and was issued 211,470 common stock shares. Mr. Barreto exercised common stock purchase warrants on a cashless basis and was issued 130,571 common stock shares. At the time of exercise, all of the above common stock purchase warrants were in-the-money. After the exercise of the common stock purchase warrants, the Company and Messrs. Fernandez and Barreto collectively owned approximately 53% of Progressive Care’s voting common stock.

Also, on July 1, 2023, the Company, along with Messrs. Fernandez and Barreto, entered into a voting agreement whereby at any annual or special shareholders meeting of Progressive Care’s stockholders, and whenever the holders of Progressive Care’s common stock act by written consent, Messrs. Fernandez and Barreto agreed to vote all of the common stock shares (including any new shares acquired after the date of the voting agreement or acquired through the conversion of securities convertible into Common Stock) that they own, directly or indirectly, in the same manner that the Company votes its common stock and equivalents. The voting agreement is irrevocable and perpetual in term.

As a result of the common stock purchase warrant exercises and the entry into the voting agreement, the Company concluded that there was a change in control in Progressive Care. As of July 1, 2023, NextPlat has the right to control more than 50 percent of the voting interests in Progressive Care through the concurrent common stock purchase warrant exercises and voting agreement noted above. Beginning on July 1, 2023, the Company changed the accounting method for its investment in Progressive Care, which prior to July 1, 2023 had been accounted for as an equity method investment to consolidation under the voting interest model in FASB ASC Topic 805. Therefore, Progressive Care became a consolidated subsidiary of the Company on July 1, 2023.

Final purchase accounting adjustments  may be materially different from the pro forma adjustments presented in this document. Increases or decreases in the fair value of the net assets may change the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities. Measurement period adjustments will be recognized prospectively. The measurement period is not to exceed 12 months from the respective dates of acquisition. 

Progressive Care contributed revenues of approximately $12.4 million and a net loss of approximately $1.4 million to the Company for the period from July 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023. The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information of NextPlat Corp as if the business combination had occurred on January 1, 2022. 

The Company did not have any material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings.  

The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to acquire a controlling interest in Progressive Care and the amounts of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, as well as the fair value of the noncontrolling interest in Progressive Care at the acquisition date:

The total consideration is based on the fair value of Progressive Care’s common stock outstanding at July 1, 2023, which was 6,162,343 common shares outstanding and a fair market value of $4.45 per share. 

As a result of NextPlat obtaining control over Progressive Care, NextPlat’s previously held equity interest in Progressive Care was remeasured to fair value, resulting in a gain of approximately $6.1 million, which has been recognized in the line item “Gain on remeasurement of fair value of equity interest in affiliate prior to acquisition” on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

The fair value of the noncontrolling interest of  approximately $16.0 million and the fair value of the previously held equity interest of approximately $11.5 million in Progressive Care were estimated by applying a market approach and an income approach, respectively. These fair value measurements of the noncontrolling interest and the previously held equity interest are based on significant inputs not observable in the market, and thus represent Level 3 measurements. The fair value estimates for the noncontrolling interest and the previously held equity interest are based on (1) an assumed discount rate range of 10% to 11%, (2) an assumed terminal value based on long-term sustainable growth rates ranging from 3.0% to 4.8%,(3) assumed financial multiples of reporting entities deemed to be similar to Progressive Care, and (4) assumed adjustments because of the lack of control or lack of marketability, as relevant, that market participants would consider when estimating the fair value of the noncontrolling interest and the previously held equity interest in Progressive Care.

The goodwill is attributable to the workforce of the acquired business and the significant synergies expected to arise after NextPlat’s acquisition of a controlling interest in Progressive Care. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. 

Note 5. Fair Value

Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and also establishes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

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

Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Identifiable Intangible Assets

The initial recognition of the Progressive Care's identifiable intangible assets, resulting from the acquisition on July 1, 2023 and the application of push-down accounting, were measured using Level 3 inputs. The fair value at the date of acquisition was approximately $14.7 million.

Note 6. Revenue

e-Commerce revenue:

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

Healthcare revenue:

The Company recognizes pharmacy revenue and 340B contract revenue from dispensing prescription drugs at the time the drugs are physically delivered to a customer or when a customer picks up their prescription or purchases merchandise at the store, which is the point in time when control transfers to the customer. Each prescription claim is considered an arrangement with the customer and is a separate performance obligation. Payments are received directly from the customer at the point of sale, or the customers’ insurance provider is billed electronically. For third-party medical insurance and other claims, authorization is obtained to ensure payment from the customer’s insurance provider before the medication is dispensed to the customer. Authorization is obtained for these sales electronically and a corresponding authorization number is issued by the customers’ insurance provider.

The Company accrues an estimate of pharmacy benefit manager (“PBM”) fees, including direct and indirect remuneration (“DIR”) fees, which are assessed or expected to be assessed by payers at some point after adjudication of a claim, as a reduction of revenue at the time revenue is recognized. Changes in the estimate of such fees are recorded as an adjustment to revenue when the change becomes known.

The Company recognizes COVID-19 testing revenue when the tests are performed and results are delivered to the customer. Each test is considered an arrangement with the customer and is a separate performance obligation. Payment is generally received in advance from the customer.

        The following table disaggregates net revenues by categories:

Note 7. Earnings (Loss) per Share

Net income (loss) per common share is calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260: Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”). Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net loss per share does not include dilutive common stock equivalents in the weighted average shares outstanding as they would be anti-dilutive. In periods where the Company has a net loss, all dilutive securities are excluded.

Note 8. Accounts Receivable

              At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, accounts receivable consisted of the following:

Bad debt expense was approximately $12,000 and $- for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

On January 1, 2021, VAT rules relating to imports and exports between the UK and EU changed as a result of the UK’s departure from the EU. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a receivable in the amount of approximately $369,000 and $433,000, respectively, for amounts available to reclaim against the tax liability from UK and EU countries.

Note 11. Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid expenses current and long term amounted to approximately $866,000 and $49,000, respectively at September 30, 2023, as compared to $46,000 and $49,000, respectively at December 31, 2022. Prepaid expenses include prepayments in cash for accounting fees, public company expenses, insurance, which are being amortized over the terms of their respective agreements, as well as cost associated with certain contract liabilities. The current portion consists of costs paid for future services which will occur within a year.

The increase in prepaid expenses was attributable to the consolidation of Progressive Care as of July 1, 2023.

Note 12. Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment, net consisted of the following:

Depreciation expense was approximately $540,000 and $329,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Note 14. Equity Method Investment

On August 30, 2022, NextPlat entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) between NextPlat and Progressive Care, under which NextPlat, its Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Charles M. Fernandez, board member, Rodney Barreto, and certain other investors invested an aggregate of $8.3 million into Progressive Care. In connection with the SPA, NextPlat purchased 3,000 newly issued Units of Progressive Care valued at $6 million, with each Unit comprised of one share of Progressive Care’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value, and one Investor Warrant to purchase a share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $2,000  The Investor Warrants may also be exercised, in whole or in part, by means of a cashless exercise.  The Convertible Preferred Stock has a stated value of $2,000 per share and each Preferred Stock share has the equivalent voting rights of 500 common stock shares (after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split described below).  Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of  Progressive Care Common Stock shares determined by dividing the stated value by the conversion price which is $4.00 (after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split described below).  

In addition, on August 30, 2022, NextPlat Corp, Messrs. Fernandez and Barreto, and certain other investors (collectively, the “NextPlat Investors”) entered into a Modification Agreement wherein the terms were modified for an existing Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) originally held by a third party note holder and sold to the NextPlat Investors.  The NextPlat Investors purchased the Note as part of a Confidential Note Purchase and Release Agreement between the former note holder and the NextPlat Investors.  As of the date of the SPA, the aggregate amount of principal and interest outstanding on the Note was approximately $2.8 million. As part of the Modification Agreement, various terms of the Note were modified, among them, the Conversion Price for the Note was modified to a fixed price of $4.00 per share of common stock (after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split described below).  In addition, the Note was modified to provide for mandatory conversion upon the later to occur of (a) the completion of the Company’s reverse stock split, and (b) the listing of the Company’s common stock on a national exchange, including the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, or the New York Stock Exchange. Also, pursuant to the SPA, Messrs. Fernandez and Barreto were nominated for election to Progressive Care’s Board of Directors.  

On September 13, 2022, the Progressive Care Board of Directors appointed Charles M. Fernandez as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Rodney Barreto as the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors. In connection with these appointments, Alan Jay Weisberg, Progressive Care’s current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, was appointed to serve as a Vice Chairman. On September 12, 2022, two of Progressive Care’s Directors, Birute Norkute and Oleg Firer, resigned as Directors. On October 7, 2022, the Progressive Care Board of Directors unanimously voted to approve the appointment of Pedro Rodriguez, MD to the Board. Dr. Rodriguez was nominated to the Progressive Care Board by NextPlat.

On November 11, 2022, Mr. Weisberg resigned from his positions as Progressive Care’s Chief Executive Officer and co-Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors. On the same date, the Board appointed Mr. Fernandez to serve as the new Chief Executive Officer immediately.  

On December 29, 2022, Progressive Care filed a Certificate of Amendment to Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment to Articles”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Pursuant to the Amendment to Articles, each 200 shares of Progressive Care’s common stock outstanding was converted into one share of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and the number of shares of common stock that Progressive Care is authorized to issue was reduced to 100 million (the “Reduction in Authorized Stock”). The Reverse Stock Split and the Reduction in Authorized Stock were approved by the Progressive Care Board of Directors and the shareholders.

On May 5, 2023, NextPlat entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Progressive Care, pursuant to which the Company purchased 455,000 newly issued units of securities from Progressive Care (the “Units”) at a price per Unit of $2.20 for an aggregate purchase price of $1 million (the “Unit Purchase”). Each Unit consisted of one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Progressive Care (“Common Stock”) and one warrant to purchase a share of Common Stock (the “PIPE Warrants”). The PIPE Warrants have a three-year term and are immediately exercisable at $2.20 per share of Common Stock. On May 9, 2023, NextPlat and Progressive Care closed the transactions contemplated in the SPA. 

Simultaneous with the closing, Progressive Care entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement (the “DCA”) with NextPlat and the other holders (the “Holders”) of that certain Amended and Restated Secured Convertible Promissory Note, dated as of September 2, 2022, made by Progressive Care in the original face amount of approximately $2.8 million (the “Note”). Pursuant to the DCA, NextPlat and the other Holders agreed to convert the total approximately $2.9 million of outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest to Common Stock at a conversion price of $2.20 per share. NextPlat received 570,599 shares issued upon conversion of the Note. In addition, NextPlat received a warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock they received upon conversion of the Note (the “Conversion Warrants”). The Conversion Warrants have a three-year term and are immediately exercisable at $2.20 per share of Common Stock.

At the same time, Progressive Care and NextPlat entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 16, 2022 (the “Debenture Purchase Agreement”). Under the Debenture Purchase Agreement, Progressive Care agreed to issue, and NextPlat Corp agreed to purchase, from time to time during the three-year term of the Debenture Purchase Agreement, up to an aggregate of $10 million of secured convertible debentures from Progressive Care (the “Debentures”). Pursuant to the Amendment, NextPlat and Progressive Care agreed to amend the Debenture Purchase Agreement and the form of Debenture to have a conversion price of $2.20 per share. At present, no Debentures have been purchased by NextPlat under the Debenture Purchase Agreement.

As a result of the common stock purchase warrant exercises and the entry into the voting agreement as described in Note 4, NextPlat concluded that there was a change in control in Progressive Care. As of July 1, 2023, NextPlat has the right to control more than 50 percent of the voting interests in Progressive Care through the concurrent common stock purchase warrant exercises and voting agreement. Beginning on July 1, 2023, the Company changed the accounting method for its investment in Progressive Care, which prior to July 1, 2023 had been accounted for as an equity method investment, to consolidation under the voting interest model in FASB ASC Topic 805. Therefore, Progressive Care became a consolidated subsidiary of the Company on July 1, 2023.

Note 19. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

On June 22, 2021, Thomas Seifert’s employment as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer was terminated for cause. Mr. Seifert asserts that the termination was not for cause and that he is owed all compensation payable under his employment agreement executed in June 2021. The Company’s position is that Mr. Seifert is not owed any additional consideration or compensation relating to his prior service with the Company or arising under any employment agreement. The Company believes it has adequate defenses to any such claims. The Company has determined to initiate litigation against Mr. Seifert asserting a number of claims including, but not limited to, rescission of the employment agreement, fraud in the inducement in connection with the execution of the employment agreement, and breach of the fiduciary duties of good faith and loyalty. The Company does not expect to seek substantial monetary relief in the litigation.

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

         On June 8, 2022, a complaint was filed by Progressive Care against KeyCentrix, LLC (“KCL”), in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, alleging fraudulent inducement, breach of express warranty and breach of implied warranty. The complaint stems from an agreement by KCL to license to Progressive Care certain pharmacy management software known as “Newleaf” for use in the operations of pharmacies operated by the Company.

Note 20. Leases

The Company has entered into a number of lease arrangements under which the Company is the lessee. These leases are classified as operating leases. In addition, the Company has elected the short-term lease practical expedient in ASC Topic 842 related to real estate leases with terms of one year. The following is a summary of the Company’s lease arrangements.

Finance Lease Agreements

In May 2018, Progressive Care entered into a finance lease obligation to purchase pharmacy equipment with a cost of approximately $115,000. The terms of the lease agreement require monthly payments of $1,678 plus applicable tax over 84 months ending March 2025 including interest at the rate of 6%. 

In December 2020, Progressive Care entered into an interest-free finance lease obligation to purchase computer servers with a cost of approximately $51,000. The terms of the lease agreement require monthly payments of $1,411 plus applicable tax over 36 months ending November 2023. 

Operating Lease Agreements

On December 2, 2021, Nextplat entered into a 62-month lease for 4,141 square feet of office space in Florida ("Florida lease"), for $186,345 annually. The rent increases 3% annually. The lease commenced upon occupancy on June 13, 2022, and will expire on August 31, 2027.

For our facilities in Poole, England, we rent office and warehouse space of approximately 2,660 square feet for £30,000 annually or approximately USD $37,107, based on a yearly average exchange rate of 1.24 GBP: USD. The Poole lease was renewed on October 6, 2022, and expired October 31, 2023 and renewed for an additional twelve months.

The Florida lease does not require any contingent rental payments, impose any financial restrictions, or contain any residual value guarantees. Variable expenses generally represent the Company’s share of the landlord’s operating expenses. The Company does not have any leases classified as financing leases.

The rate implicit to the Florida lease is not readily determinable, and we therefore use our incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate used to determine the initial value of right of use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities for the six months ended  September 30, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022 was 3.75%. Right of use assets for operating leases are periodically reduced by impairment losses. We use the long-lived assets impairment guidance in ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment – Overall, to determine whether an ROU asset is impaired, and if so, the amount of the impairment loss to recognize. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we have not recognized any impairment losses for our ROU assets.

We monitor for events or changes in circumstances that require a reassessment of one of our leases. When a reassessment results in the re-measurement of a lease liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the corresponding ROU asset unless doing so would reduce the carrying amount of the ROU asset to an amount less than zero. In that case, the amount of the adjustment that would result in a negative ROU asset balance is recorded in profit or loss.

Progressive Care entered into a lease agreement for its Orlando pharmacy in August 2020. The term of the lease is 66 months with a termination date of February 2026. The lease agreement calls for monthly payments that began in February 2021, of $4,310, with an escalating payment schedule each year thereafter.

Progressive Care leases its North Miami Beach pharmacy location under an operating lease agreement with a lease commencement date in September 2021. The term of the lease is 60 months with a termination date in August 2026. The lease calls for monthly payments of $5,237, with an escalating payment schedule each year thereafter.

Progressive Care also leases its Palm Beach County pharmacy locations under operating lease agreements expiring in February 2024.

The increase in leases was attributable to the consolidation of Progressive Care at July 1, 2023.

Note 21.  Reportable Segments

The Company has two reportable segments: (i) e-Commerce Operations, which involves acquiring and leasing, primarily an e-commerce platform to collaborate with businesses to optimize their ability to sell their goods online, domestically, and internationally, and enabling customers and partners to optimize their e-commerce presence and revenue, and other related businesses and (ii) Healthcare Operations, which provides TPA, data management, COVID-19 related diagnostics and vaccinations, prescription pharmaceuticals, compounded medications, telepharmacy services, anti-retroviral medications, medication therapy management, the supply of prescription medications to long-term care facilities, medication adherence packaging, contracted pharmacy services for 340B covered entities under the 340B Drug Discount Pricing Program, and health practice risk management. 

The Company evaluates the performance of each of the segments based on profit or loss after general and administrative expenses. While the Company believes there are synergies between the two business segments, the segments are managed separately because each requires different business strategies.

The following tables present a summary of the reportable segments:
