CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INFORMATION

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the other reports, statements, and information that we have previously filed or that we may subsequently file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and public announcements that we have previously made or may subsequently make include, may include, incorporate by reference or may incorporate by reference certain statements that may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are intended to enjoy the benefits of that act. Unless the context is otherwise, the forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q and those reports, statements, information and announcements address activities, events or developments that ShiftPixy, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “we,” “us,” “our,” “our Company” or “ShiftPixy”) expects or anticipates, will or may occur in the future. Any statements in this document about expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and are forward-looking statements. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “will continue,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would” and “outlook,” and similar expressions. Accordingly, these statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in them. Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed throughout this document. All forward-looking statements concerning economic conditions, rates of growth, rates of income or values as may be included in this document are based on information available to us on the dates noted, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. It is important to note that our actual results may differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements due to fluctuations in interest rates, inflation, government regulations, economic conditions and competitive product and pricing pressures in the geographic and business areas in which we conduct operations, including our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other factors discussed elsewhere in this Report.

 

Certain risk factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations and cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us, and you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The risks and uncertainties we currently face are not the only ones we face. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which will arise. There may be additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial to our business. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. If any such risks occur, our business, operating results, liquidity and financial condition could be materially affected in an adverse manner. Under such circumstances, you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

The industry and market data contained in this report are based either on our management’s own estimates or, where indicated, independent industry publications, reports by governmental agencies or market research firms or other published independent sources and, in each case, are believed by our management to be reasonable estimates. However, industry and market data is subject to change and cannot always be verified with complete certainty due to limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties inherent in any statistical survey of market shares. We have not independently verified market and industry data from third-party sources. In addition, consumption patterns and customer preferences can and do change. As a result, you should be aware that market share, ranking and other similar data set forth herein, and estimates and beliefs based on such data, may not be verifiable or reliable.

 

Our Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) includes references to our performance measures presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and other non-GAAP financial measures that we use to manage our business, make planning decisions and allocate resources. Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures within our MD&A for definitions and reconciliations from GAAP measures.

ShiftPixy, Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

May 31, 2019

 

Note 1: Nature of Operations

 

ShiftPixy, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on June 3, 2015. The Company is a specialized staffing and human capital management service provider that provides solutions for large contingent part-time workforce demands, primarily in the restaurant and hospitality sectors. The Company’s initial focus is on the restaurant industry in Southern California.

 

Shift Human Capital Management Inc. (“SHCM”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ShiftPixy, Inc., is incorporated in the State of Wyoming. SHCM functions substantially as a professional employer organization (“PEO”) and provides comprehensive human resources solutions under its co-employment model. SHCM assumes certain of the responsibilities of being an employer and helps its clients mitigate employer-related risks and manage many of the complex and burdensome administrative and compliance responsibilities associated with employment. SHCM also functions as an-administrative-services only (“ASO”) provider, in response to client needs for only administrative and processing services, performing functions in the nature of a payroll processor, human resources consultant, administrator of worker’s compensation coverages and claims, under circumstances wherein the client remains as the sole employer of the subject employees. These services are also available to businesses in all industries, not limited to the restaurant and hospitality industries. The Company hopes that this mechanism may become a way to onboard new clients into the ShiftPixy Ecosystem when eligible clients to whom the Company is providing these services recognize the value of the services provided by the parent Company.

 

The Company is currently operating in one reportable segment.

 

Note 2: Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim reports of companies filing as a smaller reporting company. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2019.

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2018, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial information.

  

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on November 29, 2018.

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary have been consolidated in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

 

·Liability for legal contingencies;

 

 

 

 

·Useful lives of property and equipment;

 

 

 

 

·Assumptions made in valuing equity instruments;

 

 

 

 

·Assumptions made in valuing embedded derivatives and freestanding equity-linked instrument classified as liabilities;

 

 

 

 

·Deferred income taxes and related valuation allowance; and

 

 

 

 

·Projected development of workers’ compensation claims.

  

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenues are primarily attributable to fees for providing staffing solutions and PEO/HCM (“Professional Employer Organization” / “Human Capital Management”) services. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) the services have been rendered to the customer; (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company accounts for its PEO revenues in accordance with ASC 605-45, Revenue Recognition, Principal Agent Considerations. The Company’s PEO solutions revenue is primarily derived from the Company’s gross billings, which are based on (i) the payroll cost of the Company’s worksite employees and (ii) a mark-up computed as a percentage of payroll costs.

 

The gross billings are invoiced concurrently with each periodic payroll of the Company’s worksite employees. Revenues, which exclude the payroll cost component of gross billings and therefore consist solely of markup are recognized ratably over the payroll period as worksite employees perform their service at the client worksite.

 

Revenues that have been recognized but not invoiced are included in unbilled accounts receivable on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Consistent with its revenue recognition policy, its direct costs do not include the payroll cost of its worksite employees. The Company’s cost of revenue associated with its revenue generating activities are primarily comprised of all other costs related to its worksite employees, such as the employer portion of payroll-related taxes, employee benefit plan premiums and workers’ compensation insurance costs.

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash with a commercial bank and from time to time exceed the federally insured limits. The deposits are made with a reputable financial institution, and the Company had not experienced losses from these deposits.

 

No one individual client represents more than 10% of revenues for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2019, or 2018. However, four clients represent 85% of total accounts receivable at May 31, 2019, compared to four clients representing approximately 86% of our total accounts receivable at August 31, 2018.

 

Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company periodically evaluate its long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment. ASC 360-10 requires that an impairment loss be recognized for assets to be disposed of or held-for-use when the carrying amount of an asset is deemed to not be recoverable. If events or circumstances were to indicate that any of our long-lived assets might be impaired, the Company would assess recoverability based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows to be generated from the applicable asset. In addition, the Company may record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value of the asset exceeded the fair value of the asset. Fair value is generally determined using an estimate of discounted future net cash flows from operating activities or upon disposal of the asset. There were no impairments recognized for the periods ended May 31, 2019, and 2018.

 

Workers’ compensation

 

Everest Program

 

Up to July 2018, a portion of the Company’s workers’ compensation risk was covered by a retrospective rated policy, which calculates the final policy premium based on the Company’s loss experience during the term of the policy and the stipulated formula set forth in the policy. The Company funds the policy premium based on standard premium rates on a monthly basis and based on the gross payroll applicable to workers covered by the policy. During the policy term and thereafter, periodic adjustments may involve either a return of previously paid premiums or a payment of additional premiums by the Company or a combination of both. If the Company’s losses under that policy exceed the expected losses under that policy, then the Company could receive a demand for additional premium payments. During the year ended August 31, 2017, the Company funded an initial deposit of $2.3 million, which was included in Deposits – worker’ compensation (“deposits”) on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the year ended August 31, 2018, the Company funded two-month worth of policy premiums against this initial deposit for approximately $0.8 million. As of May 31, 2019, the Company had “deposit-workers’ compensation” of $1.3 million for this retrospective rated policy.

 

The Company utilizes a third-party to estimate its loss development rate, which is based primarily upon the nature of worksite employees’ job responsibilities, the location of worksite employees, the historical frequency and severity of workers’ compensation claims, and an estimate of future cost trends. Each reporting period, changes in the assumptions resulting from changes in actual claims experience and other trends are incorporated into our workers’ compensation claims cost estimates. As of May 31, 2019, the Company classified $0.1 million in short term accrued workers’ compensation and $0.3 million in long term accrued workers’ compensation in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Sunz Program

 

Starting in July 2018, the Company’s workers’ compensation program for its worksite employees has been provided through an arrangement with United Wisconsin Insurance Company (“UWIC”) and administered by Sunz. Under this program, the Company has financial responsibility for the first $0.5 million of claims per occurrence. The Company provides and maintains a loss fund that will be used to pay claims and claim related expenses. The workers’ compensation insurance carrier established monthly funding requirements comprised of premium costs and funds to be set aside for payment of future claims (“claim loss funds”). The level of claim loss funds is primarily based upon anticipated worksite employee payroll levels and expected worker’s compensation loss rates, as determined by the insurance carrier. Monies funded into the program for incurred claims expected to be paid within one year are recorded as “Deposit - workers’ compensation, a short-term asset, while the remainder of claim funds are included in deposits- workers’ compensation, a long-term asset in our consolidated balance sheets.

 

 
F-8
 
Table of Contents

 

As of May 31, 2019, the Company had $0.9 million in “deposit – workers’ compensation”, classified as a short-term asset and $5.4 million, classified as a long-term asset.

 

The Company’s estimate of incurred claim costs expected to be paid within one year is included in short-term liabilities, while its estimate of incurred claim costs expected to be paid beyond one year is included in long-term liabilities on its consolidated condensed balance sheets. As of May 31, 2019, the Company had short term accrued workers’ compensation costs of $0.9 million and long term accrued workers’ compensation costs of $2.7 million.

 

Because the Company bears the financial responsibility for claims up to the level noted above, such claims, which are the primary component of our workers’ compensation costs, are recorded in the period incurred. Workers’ compensation insurance includes ongoing health care and indemnity coverage whereby claims are paid over numerous years following the date of injury. Accordingly, the accrual of related incurred costs in each reporting period includes estimates, which takes into account the ongoing development of claims and therefore requires a significant level of judgment. In estimating ultimate loss rates, the Company utilizes historical loss experience, exposure data, and actuarial judgment, together with a range of inputs which are primarily based upon the worksite employee’s job responsibilities, their location, the historical frequency and severity of workers’ compensation claims, and an estimate of future cost trends. For each reporting period, changes in the actuarial assumptions resulting from changes in actual claims experience and other trends are incorporated into our workers’ compensation claims cost estimates. The estimated incurred claims are based upon: (i) the level of claims processed during each quarter; (ii) estimated completion rates based upon recent claim development patterns under the plan; and (iii) the number of participants in the plan.

 

Debt issuance Costs and Debt discount

 

Debt issuance costs and debt discounts are being amortized over the lives of the related financings on a basis that approximates the effective interest method. Costs and discounts are presented as a reduction of the related debt in the accompanying condensed balance sheets

 

Beneficial Conversion Features

 

The intrinsic value of a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) inherent to a convertible note payable, which is not bifurcated and accounted for separately from the convertible note payable and may not be settled in cash upon conversion, is treated as a discount to the convertible note payable. This discount is amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the stated maturity using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method. If the note payable is retired prior to the end of the contractual term, the unamortized discount is expensed in the period of retirement to interest expense. In general, the BCF is measured by comparing the effective conversion price, after considering the relative fair value of detachable instruments included in the financing transaction, if any, to the fair value of the common shares at the commitment date to be received upon conversion.

 

Derivative financial instruments

 

When a Company issues debt that contains a conversion feature, it first evaluates whether the conversion feature meets the requirement to be treated as a derivative: a) the settlement amount is determined by one or more underlying, typically the price of the Company’s stock, b) the settlement amount is determined by one or more notional amounts or payments provisions or both, generally the number of shares upon conversion; c) no initial net investment, which typically excludes the amount borrowed; and d) net settlement provision, which in the case of convertible debt generally means the stock received upon conversion can be readily sold for cash. There are certain scope exception from derivative treatment, but these typically exclude conversion features that provide for a variable number of shares. When ShiftPixy, Inc., issues warrant to purchase its common stock, the Company must evaluate whether they meet the requirements to be treated as derivative. Generally, warrants would be treated as a derivative if the provisions of the warrants agreements create uncertainty as to a) the number of shares to be issued upon exercise, or b) whether shares may be issued upon exercise. If the conversion feature within convertible debt or warrants meet the requirements to be treated as a derivative, ShiftPixy estimates the fair value of the derivative liability using the lattice-based option valuation model upon the date of issuance. If the fair value of the derivative liability is higher than the face value of the convertible debt, the excess is immediately recognized as interest expense. Otherwise, the fair value of the derivative is recorded as a liability with an offsetting amount recorded as a debt discount, which offsets the carrying amount of the debt. The derivative liability is revalued at the end of each reporting period and any change in fair value is recorded as a change in fair value in the condensed statement of operations. The debt discount is amortized through interest expense over the life of the debt. Derivative instrument liabilities and the host debt agreements are classified on the condensed balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the condensed balance sheet date.

 

 
F-9
 
Table of Contents

 

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the embedded conversion option and warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

                                                                                                                                                                                                              

FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate fair value. FASB 825 defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. At May 31, 2019, and August 31, 2018, the carrying value of certain financial instruments (cash, accounts receivable and payable, and other financial instruments) approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. Convertible notes approximate fair value based on comparison of terms from similar instruments in the marketplace.

 

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

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

·Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

 

 

o Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

o Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

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

 

 

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

                                                                                                                                                                                

The Company did not have any Level 1 or Level 2 assets and liabilities at May 31, 2019. The Derivative liabilities and warrants at May 31, 2019, are Level 3 fair value measurements.

At May 31, 2019, the Company estimated the fair value of the conversion feature derivatives embedded in the convertible debentures based on weighted probabilities of assumptions used in the Lattice-based option valuation model. The key valuation assumptions used consists, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock, a risk free interest rate based on the average yield (2.41%-2.485%) of a Treasury note and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock all as of the measurement dates (120%-122%), and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.

At May 31, 2019, the Company estimated the fair value of the warrant liabilities based on the Lattice-based option valuation model. The key valuation assumptions used consists, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock, a risk-free interest rate based on the average yield of a Treasury note (2.41%) and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock all as of the measurement dates (120%-122%).

 

When the Company changes its valuation inputs for measuring financial assets and liabilities at fair value, either due to changes in current market conditions or other factors, it may need to transfer those assets or liabilities to another level in the hierarchy based on the new inputs used. The Company recognizes these transfers at the end of the reporting period that the transfers occur. For the periods ended May 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018, there were no significant transfers of financial assets or financial liabilities between the hierarchy levels. 

 

Advertising Costs

 

The Company expenses all advertising as incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs totaling $366,475 and $948,414 for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2019, respectively and $181,957 and $362,207 for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2018, respectively.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company utilizes Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include additional common share equivalents available upon exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. Dilutive common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of in-the-money share equivalents, which are calculated based on the average share price for each period using the treasury stock method, excluding any common share equivalents if their effect would be anti-dilutive. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered anti-dilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation.

 

 The table below shows earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share and reconciles the numerator and denominator of both earnings per common share calculations.

At May 31, 2019, the Company has one stock-based compensation plan under which the Company may issue awards. The Company accounts for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of ASC 718, Compensation- Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations on their fair values.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year’s data to confirm to the current year’s presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s financial condition, operating results, cash flows or stockholder’s equity.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. For all entities, amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of ASU No. 2018-13 and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this guidance will have on the condensed consolidated financial statements, if any.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. For entities that early adopted Topic 842, the amendments are effective upon issuance of ASU 2018-10, 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. ASU 2018-10 will be effective for use for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements, if any.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” The standard provides enhancements to the quality and consistency of how revenue is reported by companies, while also improving comparability in the financial statements of companies reporting using International Financial Reporting Standards or U.S. GAAP. The new standard also will require enhanced revenue disclosures, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively, and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. This accounting standard becomes effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. This new standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations. The purpose of this standard is to clarify the implementation of guidance on principal versus agent considerations related to ASU 2014-09. The standard has the same effective date as ASU 2014-09 described above.

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which provides clarity related to ASU 2014-09 regarding identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation. The standard has the same effective date as ASU 2014-09 described above.

 

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which provides narrow scope improvements and practical expedients related to ASU 2014-09. The purpose of this standard is to clarify certain narrow aspects of ASU 2014-09, such as assessing the collectability criterion, presentation of sales taxes, and other similar taxes collected from customers, noncash considerations, contract modifications at transition, completed contracts are transition, and technical correction. The standard has the same effective date as ASU 2014-09 described above.

 

In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20: Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this standard affect narrow aspects of guidance issued in ASU 2014-09. The standard has the same effective date as ASU 2014-09 described above.

 

The Company is currently developing an adoption plan of how it currently recognizes revenue compared to the accounting treatment required under the new guidance. This plan includes a review of client contracts and revenue transactions to determine the impact of the accounting treatment under the new guidance, evaluation of the adoption method and completing a rollout plan for the new guidance. Additionally, the Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the new standard on its disclosures and internal controls.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on leases ASU 2016-02, Leases. The new standard requires that a lessee recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with terms longer than 12 months. The recognition, measurement and presentation of lease expenses and cash flows by a lessee will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also includes new disclosure requirements providing information on the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statement.

Table of Contents

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, although early adoption is permitted (but no sooner than the adoption of Topic 606). The Company does not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 3: Going Concern

 

As of May 31, 2019, the Company had cash of $2.9 million and a working capital deficiency of $9.0 million. During the nine months ended May 31, 2019, the Company used approximately $1.6 million of cash in its operations, of which $1 million was attributed to the mobile application development costs. The Company has incurred recurring losses resulting in an accumulated deficit of $35.6 million as of May 31, 2019. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as going concern within one year from issuance date of the financial statements.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining additional funds by way of public or private offering to meet the Company’s obligations and repay its liabilities when they become due.

 

Historically, the Company’s principal source of financing has come through the sale of its common stock and issuance of convertible notes. The Company successfully completed an Initial Public Offering (IPO) on NASDAQ on June 29, 2017, raising a total of $12 million or $10.9 million net of costs. In June 2018, the Company completed a private placement of 8% senior secured convertible notes to institutional investors raising $9 million of gross proceeds or $8.4 million net of costs. In March 2019, the Company completed a private placement of senior secured convertible notes with certain of its existing institutional investors raising an additional $3.75 million of gross proceeds or $3.3 million net of closing costs. 

 

The Company is in dispute with its former software developer, Kadima Ventures (“Kadima”), over incomplete but paid for software development work. The Company began building its internal software development team and transitioned away from Kadima to expedite the Company’s technology deployment. Such transition would further increase the Company’s quarterly cash burn by approximately $0.5 million per quarter. The tardy delivery of the user features from Kadima and related on-going litigation slowed down the pace of the Company’s growth. Under licensing agreements with new vendors for certain features, the Company will be launching version 2.0 of its app and enhanced user features during the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter with all user features including the self-delivery feature. The completion of our technology and the deployment of these features, expected in our fourth fiscal quarter, would further accelerate the growth of the Company.

 

Exclusive of the software development costs and assuming all payroll taxes are paid as incurred and excluding non-recurring expenditures, the Company is currently using $2.0 million each quarter from its operations or approximately $0.7 million per month. The Company continues to experience significant growth in the number of worksite employees, which would generate additional administrative fees and profit on employer-related taxes that would offset the current level of operational cash burn. Indeed, since May 31, 2019, the Company has added, through executed service agreements, approximately 17 new clients, servicing approximately 6,600 worksite employees with approximately $32.5 million in additional revenue per year, which would generate an additional of $1.1 million in quarterly gross profit.

 

The Company’s existing institutional investors from our senior secured convertibles have converted approximately $8.8 million of their principal into 6.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock, which allowed the Company to retain cash to fund its operations and build its IT department to complete the deployment of its technology platform. The Company seeks to renegotiate the 2018 and 2019 notes, without litigating the matter in courts, to amend the terms to remove the conversion features and revise the cash amortization schedule to be more in alignment with the Company’s cash flow.

 

 
F-14
 
Table of Contents

 

With the added general and administrative costs from building its IT department, the Company anticipates using the actual cash position and continue leveraging its payables until it reaches breakeven at about 25,000 worksite employees.

 

The deployment of our technology features, especially our self-delivery feature, is expected to further accelerate the growth of the Company. The Company’s management believes that the current cash position, along with the resulted accelerated revenue growth will be sufficient to fund its operation for at least a year from the date these financials are available. If these sources do not provide the capital necessary to fund the Company’s operations during the next twelve months from the date of this report, the Company may need to curtail certain aspects of its operations or expansion activities, consider the sale of its assets, or consider other means of financing. The Company can give no assurance that it will be successful in implementing its business plan and obtaining financing on terms advantageous to the Company or that any such additional financing would be available to the Company. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments from this uncertainty

 

Note 4: Senior Secured Convertible Note Payable

 

June 2018 Financing – December 2018 Limited Settlement

 

On June 4, 2018, the Company issued convertible notes in the principal amount of $10 million for a purchase price of $9 million to institutional investors, bearing interest at a rate of 8%, with maturity date of September 4, 2019, for cash proceeds of $8.4 million for mobile application development and support, IT and HR platform development and support and working capital. The Company incurred approximately $0.6 million of debt issuance costs that are incremental costs directly related to the issuance of the senior secured convertible notes payable.

 

Concurrently with the sale of the notes, the Company also granted warrants to purchase 1,004,016 shares of common stock to its institutional investors and also granted warrants to purchase 216,867 shares of common stock to its investment banker as placement fees, at an exercise price of $2.49, subject to down round price protection adjustment, as defined in the agreements.

 

The terms of convertible notes are summarized as follows:

 

 

·

Term: September 4, 2019;

 

·

Coupon: 8%;

 

·

Convertible at the option of the holder at any time;

 

·

Conversion price is initially set at $2.49 but subject to down round price protection. After the maturity, the conversion price will be set subsequently at the lesser of the then conversion price and 85% of the volume weighted average price for the trading date immediately prior to the application conversion date; and

 

·

Monthly amortization of principal either in cash at a 10% premium or in stock, subject to equity conditions, at a 15% discount to the lowest volume weighted average price, at the option of the Company.

 

The Company has been converting the convertible notes in its shares of common stock at a fifteen percent (15%) discount to the lowest volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) whereas the terms of the agreement state that such discount to the original conversion price of $2.49 should have been initiated on or after the maturity date of the convertible notes or September 4, 2019. The accounting standards require the recognition through earnings of an inducement charge equal to the fair value of the consideration delivered in excess of the consideration issuable under the original conversion terms. This resulted in a non-cash charge of $2.3 million for the three months ended May 31, 2019, and $3.8 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2019.

The Company recognized amortization expense related to the debt discount and debt issuance costs of $957,222 and $2,871,666 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively, and $0 for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2018, respectively, which is included in interest expense in the condensed statements of operations.

 

For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2019, the interest expense on convertible notes was $72,671 and $84,227, respectively, and $0 for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2018. The Company applied the interest paid in cash and interest paid in equity against the make whole provision, which represents guaranteed twelve months of coupon payments since the Company was in default from its registration rights agreements. As of May 31, 2019, and August 31, 2018, the balance in the make whole accrual amounted to $23,169 and $608,889, respectively, and such amount were accrued as of May 31, 2019, and August 31, 2018.

 

During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2019, the Company paid in cash $435,606 of principal and converted $3,527,541 and $8,120,836, respectively,  of principal and $203,966 and $501,844, respectively, of interest into shares of commons to its institutional investors and issued 3,405,079 and 6,364,506, respectively, shares of common stock.

 

Event of default

 

The Company executed registration rights agreements with each of its institutional investors. These registration rights agreements require, among other things, that the initial registration statement should be (a) filed within 30 days of June 4, 2018, and (b) declared effective within 90 days of June 4, 2018. The Company’s registration statement was filed on October 1, 2018 and it was declared effective by the SEC on October 29, 2018; thus, both the filing and effectiveness deadlines were missed.

 

The Company recorded in its condensed consolidated financial statements the mandatory default amount as stipulated in the convertible note agreements. As of August 31, 2018, the Company recorded approximately $3.5 million, which is reported under current liabilities in its condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

On December 20, 2018, the Company entered into settlement agreements with its institutional investors, which resolves all disputes relating to technical defaults by the Company in failing to meet deadlines for filing a registration statement and for having a registration statement effective by the SEC. As a result of such settlement, the Company increased the principal amount of the convertible notes by $888,889 in full settlement of the previously accrued $3.5 million default amount thereby decreasing the total liabilities reported on the Company’s August 31, 2018, balance sheet by $2.6 million, and recognized a gain of approximately $0 and $2.6 million during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2019.

March 2019 Bridge Financing

 

On March 12, 2019, the Company issued convertible notes in the principal amount of $4,750,000 for a purchase price of $3,750,000 to certain of our existing institutional investors, bearing no coupon interest, with maturity date of September 12, 2020, for net cash proceeds of $3.3 million for mobile application development and working capital. The Company incurred approximately $0.5 million of debt issuance costs that are incremental costs directly related to the issuance of the bridge financing senior convertible notes payable.

 

Concurrently with the sale of the notes, the Company also granted warrants to purchase 2,840,909 shares of common stock to its institutional investors and also granted warrants to purchase 134,569 shares of common stock to its investment bankers as placement fees, at an exercise price of $1.75, subject to down round price protection adjustment, as defined in the agreements.

 

The notes bear no interest since they were issued at a deep discount. If the Company defaults on the notes, then the Company will be charged a default interest rate of 18% until default is resolved. The terms of the notes provide for payment of 110% of all amount outstanding (including the principal amount of each note together with any accrued and unpaid interest and any other accrued and unpaid charges) at maturity on September 12, 2020.

               

Subject to the conversion limitation, each note may be converted, at the option of the holder, at a fixed price of $1.67, subject to adjustment or alternatively, at a variable price calculated by dividing (x) such portion of the principal, accrued and unpaid interest and fees subject to conversion by (y) the greater of (i) $0.31, and (ii) the lower of the conversion price in effect and 85% (subject to downward adjustment in the case of conversion upon an event of default or bankruptcy) of the lowest volume-weighted average price per share during the ten consecutive trading days prior to conversion.

 

The terms of the March 2019 convertible notes are summarized as follows:

 

 

·Term: September 12, 2020;

 

·Coupon: 0%;

 

·Default interest rate: 18%;

 

·Original issue discount: $1,000,000;

 

·Convertible at the option of the holder at any time;

 

·Initial conversion price is set at $1.67 but subject to down round price protection;

 

·Alternate conversion price at the greater of the floor price of $0.31 and the lower of the conversion price in effect and alternate conversion percentage of the lowest VWAP of the common share during the 10 consecutive trading day prior to the applicable conversion date;

 

·Alternate conversion percentage is 75% if the alternate conversion is an alternate conversion event of default as a result of bankruptcy or 80% for all alternate event of default conversion or 85% is such alternate conversion is an alternate optional conversion;

 

·Redemption at the option of the holder at 25% premium upon an event of default;

 

·Redemption at the option of the Company at 15% premium at any time after 45 days from March 12, 2019.

 

In connection with the note, the Company issued 2,840,909 warrants, exercisable at $1.75, with a five-year term. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using the Lattice pricing model. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $1.59%, a risk-free interest rate of 2.49% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 122%, resulting in a fair value of $3,917,000.

 

The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of the conversion feature derivative embedded in the debenture at issuance at $2,421,000 based on weighted probabilities of assumptions used the Lattice pricing model. The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock of $1.59, a risk-free interest rate of 2.49% and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, of 122%, and the various estimated reset exercise prices weighted by probability.

 

This resulted in the calculated fair value of the debt discount resulted from bifurcating the warrants and the conversion feature being greater than the face amount of the debt net of the original issue discount, and the excess amount of $2.6 million was immediately expenses as financing costs.

Note 5: Stockholders’ Equity

 

Preferred Stock

 

In September of 2016, the Company issued options to purchase preferred stock at $0.0001 per share. This issuance was approved by our shareholders. The number of options is equal to the lesser of (a) the number of shares of common stock held by such shareholder on September 28, 2016, which accounts for approximately 25.6 million shares, or (b) the number of shares of common stock held by such shareholder on date of the shareholder’s exercise of the aforesaid option. The preferred stock that is the subject of such contingent option provides a right to elect a majority of the directors on the Board of Directors of the Corporation and does not include any rights to dividends, conversion to shares of common stock, or preference upon liquidation of the Corporation. The contingent option is exercisable only upon the acquisition of a 20% or greater voting interest in the Corporation by a party other than the founding shareholders, or prior to any proposed merger, consolidation (in which the Corporation’s common stock is changed or exchanged) or sale of at least 50% of the Corporation’s assets or earning power (other than a reincorporation).

Note 6: Stock based Compensation

 

The Company granted options to purchase an aggregate total of 1,192,903 shares of common stock during the nine months ended May 31, 2019. The Company recognized approximately ($4,743) and $153,571 in the three and nine months ended May 31, 2019, respectively. The Company recognized approximately $72,312 and $169,407 of compensation expense in the three and nine months ended May 31, 2018.

 

The weighted average remaining contract life of the options is 9.1 and 9.42 years, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options as of May 31, 2019, and 2018, is $0 and $6,287 respectively.

 

The Company estimated the fair value of the stock options based on the black Scholes valuation model. The key valuation assumptions used consists, in part, of the price of the Company’s common stock,  risk free interest rate based on the average yield (2.30%-2.55%) of a Treasury note and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock all as of the measurement dates (120%-122%).

Note 8: Commitment and contingencies

 

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

 

During the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to various claims and litigation. Management believes that the outcome of such claims or litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

 

Lyons Capital, LLC Litigation

 

On June 21, 2018, ShiftPixy was served with a summons and complaint in connection with a claim by Lyons Capital, LLC, arising out of a contract wherein ShiftPixy, Inc., agreed to pay Lyons Capital, LLC, a total of 210,000 shares of the company’s common stock in exchange for introductions to brokers, research coverage, funds, investment banking firms, and market makers as well as board representation and business opportunities and for promotion of the company at Lyons Capital, LLC’s annual conference. This lawsuit was settled during the three months ending May 31, 2019 for an immaterial amount which was included in general and administrative expenses on the condensed statement of operations.

 

Kadima Ventures

 

The Company is in dispute with its software developer, Kadima Ventures, over incomplete but paid for software development work. In May 2016, the Company entered into a contract with Kadima Ventures for the development and deployment of user features that were proposed by Kadima for an original build cost of $8.5 million to complete. As of the date of this filing, the Company has spent approximately $11million but has not received the majority of certain modules. In addition to the non-delivery of the paid for user features, Kadima Ventures asserts that it is owed additional funds to turn over the work completed. The Company is initiating litigation to force the delivery of the paid for software and exit the development engagement. Kadima made a demand for an additional $10 million or they would not turn over the remaining features. The Company has accelerated its internal development team to expedite the user features delivery for summer of 2019. Under licensing agreement, the Company will be launching version 2.0 of its app and enhanced user features during the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter with all user features as well as the driver management, which will allow its clients to self- deliver. The Company hopes to recover some of the funds spent with Kadima Ventures for their failure to deliver.

 

Licensing agreement

 

However, the Company entered into a white-label last mile platform solution on March 22, 2019. Such agreement includes a three-year monthly licensing fee of approximately $80k.

 

Note 9: Subsequent Events 

 

The Company granted 215,000 incentive stock options to employees with a weighted average grant-date exercise price of $0.45, which vest over a service period of 48 months. The stock options were valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

The Company issued 163,888 shares of common stock as repayment of $65,000 in principal from the March 2019 convertible notes at a weighted average effective conversion rate of $0.3966.

 

The Company entered into a $325,000 promissory note to one of its majority shareholders, effective June 4, 2019, with no maturity date and carrying a coupon rate of 5% per annum. In as much as after discussing the aforementioned promissory note with the Company’s counsel, management does not believe the aforementioned loan violates the Sarbanes Oxley Act (the “Act”). However, since the recipient is one of the majority shareholders it could be construed as a violation of the Act, therefore the Company is pursuing remedies to cure this uncertainty by repurchasing shares of common stock in satisfaction of the aforementioned loan.

 

On June 7, 2019, and June 10, 2019, the Company received notices from two of its institutional investors that the Company was in default due to missed principal and interest payments under the terms of the Notes. On June 27, 2019, the Company reported that is has informed its convertible note holders that it will cease honoring conversion requests of the 2018 and 2019 Notes forcing a voluntary default of these instruments. The Company is pursuing a renegotiation and amendment of these instruments in an effort to avoid litigation. The Company is requesting to amend the terms of the notes to remove the conversion features and revise the cash amortization schedule to be more in alignment with the Company’s improving cash flow, among other items.

 

On June 3, 2019, one of its institutional investors filed claim in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York seeking preliminary injunctive relief against the Company to immediately deliver one million shares of the Company’s common stock and to honor all future conversion requests duly submitted in accordance with the terms of the notes. The Company has been served on July 10, 2019. The claim will be heard by the court on July 24, 2019.

 

On July 9, 2019, the Company’s board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 10 million shares of our outstanding common shares as market conditions warrant over a period of 18 months.

 

Management has evaluated subsequent events pursuant to the issuance of the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and has determined that other than listed above, no other subsequent events exist through the date of this filing.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes, and other financial information included in this Form 10-Q.

 

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national, and local general economic and market conditions; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; change in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; the risk of foreign currency exchange rate; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Although the forward-looking statements in this Report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.

 

Our Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) includes references to our performance measures presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and other non-GAAP financial measures that we use to manage our business, make planning decisions and allocate resources. Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures within our MD&A for definitions and reconciliations from GAAP measures.

 

Overview

 

We are primarily a staffing enterprise, providing employment services solutions for businesses and workers in an environment in which shift or other part-time/temporary jobs, commonly called “gigs,” are performed.

 

The trend toward a Gig Economy has begun. A study by Ardent Partners confirms that the trend is significant, noting that “nearly 38% of the world’s total workforce is now considered ‘non-employee,’ which includes contingent/contract workers, temporary staff, gig workers, freelancers, professional services, and independent contractors.” Ardent Partners Ltd. “The State of Contingent Workforce Management 2016-2017: Adapting to a New World of Work.” October 2016. In the Gig Economy, businesses such as those in our current target market in the restaurant and hospitality industries often contract with independent contractor workers to perform less than full-time gig engagements, primarily in the form of shift work. We are endeavoring to participate in the rapidly growing Gig Economy through an employment-related service offering.

 

As the world continues to digitize and consumer expectations shift, restaurants face new challenges. Restaurants instead must familiarize themselves with the evolving digital economy and provide unique experiences, especially if they wish to attract the highly sought-after millennial demographic. Along with customer retention, one major problem many are facing is increased employee turnover, resulting in a direct effect on the bottom line. Historically, turnover in the restaurant industry has been notoriously high in comparison to other segments. Continually staffing and training new employees not only eats up time, but it also costs more money for our restaurant operators. Managing turnover is a long-term operational success for our client operators.

 

Another significant problem for employers in the Gig Economy involves compliance with employment-related regulations imposed by federal, state and local governments, including requirements associated with workers’ compensation insurance, and other traditional employment compliance requirements, including the employer mandate provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“ACA”). The compliance challenges are often complicated by the actions of many employers to reduce workers’ hours as a means to avoid characterizing employees as “full-time.” Congress is considering amendments to or replacement of the ACA. As of the date of this filing, the ACA has not been formally amended or repealed; however, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 effectively eliminates the individual mandate provisions of the ACA, beginning in 2019. Employers still face regulatory issues and overhead costs, including those associated with the employer mandate provisions of the ACA for which we believe our services are a cost-effective solution.

Gig/Shift Workers, whom we also call “shifters,” face significant difficulty in finding other jobs/gigs to replace hours lost when their employers reduce their hours and make them less than full-time employees or otherwise to fill workweek employment voids. While we all know that competitive pay and good benefits factor into an employee’s decision as to join and stay at a company, there are many other factors that are more important than a paycheck. The 2018 Global Talent Trends study found that 51% of employees wish their company offered more flexible work options. Flexibility is incredibly important to employees across the nation.

 

We believe that we have the ideal solution for both of these groups via a service offering that entails two principal elements (that we refer to collectively as our “Ecosystem”):

 

 

·

ShiftPixy Employer Solution: Under a co-employment agreement, we assume certain of the responsibilities of being an employer and helps our clients mitigate employer-related risks and manage many of the complex and burdensome administrative and compliance responsibilities associated with employment. Once the ShiftPixy Mobile application is fully implemented, we will absorb the co-employer’s shifters as our employees and makes those employees available to the former employer to work the same jobs, with us shouldering all employment-related compliance responsibilities. In addition, when the shift intermediation features of our mobile app are implemented, which can occur as soon as a sufficient number of users and clients in an area begin to use the scheduling features of the application, such businesses will be able to access via that technology additional qualified workers, who are already part of our Ecosystem, to fill workforce voids on short notice, having assurance that such employees have work experience, will be paid, will be covered by applicable workers’ compensation coverage, will have applicable employment related taxes calculated and processed. The shift intermediation feature of our mobile app is designed to mitigate employee turnover that financially and operationally impacts clients in our target market.

 

·

ShiftPixy Shifter Solution: Shifters fulfilling shifts at one of our clients can now access shift work with other of our clients and will ultimately be able to do so quickly and easily through the new ShiftPixy mobile application. Workers are now engaging with the application at the point of onboarding with ShiftPixy. We anticipate that employees will be able to use the app to secure additional shifts within our Ecosystem. When released to the general public, anticipated to be in the third calendar year 2019, , the ShiftPixy mobile application will enable not only ShiftPixy shift employees but also shifters outside our Ecosystem, many of them Millennials who frequently connect to the outside world through mobile devices, to access available shifts at all of our participating clients. In addition to the benefits of working as employees rather than independent contractors, enjoying the protections of workers’ compensation coverage and employment laws, as well as the calculation and remittance of applicable employment taxes, among other benefits, shifters are also enabled to participate in our benefit plan offerings, including minimum essential health insurance coverage plans and a 401(k) plan.

 

Our headquarters are in Irvine, California, from which we can reach the Southern California market. We opened offices in New York City, New York, Austin, Texas, and Chicago, Illinois from which our local sales/service representatives will secure and service clients in those areas, and we plan to open additional physical offices in the following locales: San Francisco, California and Miami, Florida.

 

These markets collectively account for or allow the Company to cover approximately 53% of our target market in the restaurant/hospitality sectors. (U.S. Department of Labor. Bureau of Labor Statistics. May 2015. Occupational Employment and Wages.)

 

ShiftPixy and its subsidiary collectively serve, as of May 31, 2019, an aggregate of approximately 251 clients with an average of approximately 12,300 employees, including 8,370 employees of ShiftPixy and ShiftableHR that we provide to our clients and 3,930 employees of our clients for whom we provide only payroll administration services. None of these clients represents more than 10% of our revenues for the three months period ending May 31, 2019.

Table of Contents

 

ShiftPixy’s business and revenue growth is anticipated to result from the following factors: 

 

 

·Large potential market in the restaurant-hospitality industries;

 

 

 

 

·The new ShiftPixy Mobil App designed to provide additional benefits to ShiftPixy’s client businesses and shift workers;

 

 

 

 

·Our intermediation feature is designed to allow clients to use our ecosystem and have access to live on demand shifters to fill gaps in their schedule;

 

 

 

 

·The ultimate development of a ShiftPixy Ecosystem;

 

 

 

 

·Mitigation of employment law compliance risks, and

 

 

 

 

·The new driver management layer in the ShiftPixy ecosystem allowing clients to use their own team members to deliver a brand intended experience and preserve their brand, customer experience, customer data and avoid the 30 percent fees paid to third-party delivery platforms.

 

The Problem: Employment law compliance requirements present a multi-obstacle ridden employment related compliance landscape for our target market of businesses that rely significantly on part-time and temporary workers. Challenges facing such businesses include the need to secure applicable workers’ compensation insurance coverage, to effect employment related tax withholdings and filings, and to navigate laws related to hiring and release of employees, including discrimination (race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion, disability, pregnancy and sexual orientation), sexual harassment, sick pay and time off, hours of work, minimum wage and overtime, gender pay differentials, immigration, safety, child labor, military leave, garnishment and other wage imposition processing, family and medical leave, COBRA, and unemployment claims. ACA compliance currently adds another significant burden to businesses with more than 50 full-time workers, as they try to manage the additional burdens associated with mandated health insurance benefits.

 

A business can secure assistance in mitigating and even eliminating these challenges by retaining ShiftPixy.

 

The ShiftPixy Solution: ShiftPixy is developing an Ecosystem comprised of a closed proprietary operating and processing system that helps restaurant and hospitality businesses (and in the future, businesses in additional industries wherein we plan to market our services) as well as shift workers by matching available shifts with available shift workers. The ShiftPixy Ecosystem provides both compliance and cost saving advantages.

 

Shift Human Capital Management Inc.: We formed Shift Human Capital Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, in December 2015, in response to the need to have workers’ compensation policies written in the names of the clients (as may be required by some states) and otherwise in response to client needs for only administrative and processing services rather than the full-service, staffing program offered by ShiftPixy. As of May 31, 2019, ShiftableHR had 177 clients with approximately 7,600 worksite employees, including 3,930 employees for whom we provide only payroll administration services.

 

Significant Developments in 2019

 

Offices Update

 

Our headquarters are situated in Irvine, California and the Company opened offices in New York City, New York, Austin, Texas and Chicago, Illinois area from which our local sales/services representatives will secure and service clients in those areas.

 

We are currently focused on clients in the restaurant and hospitality industries. California continue to be our largest market and account for approximately 86% of our gross billings. New York, Pennsylvania and Texas are our other significant market penetration at 3.8%, 3.4% and 2.6%, respectively. The other locations have not yet impacted in a meaningful way our revenue.

 

Software Development Update

 

The heart of ShiftPixy’s employment service solutions is a technology platform, including a mobile app, through which ShiftPixy employees (and in the future, shifters not currently in our Ecosystem) will be able to find available shifts at ShiftPixy client locations, solving a problem of finding available shifts for both the shifters looking for additional shifts when they want to work and businesses looking to fill open shifts.

Table of Contents

 

The mobile app is one of the software components of what we call the mobile platform, and together with the ShiftPixy “Command Hub” and the client portal, is being developed, tested and released in stages. We have released and are using the multilingual onboarding feature of our software, which enables us to capture all application process related data regarding our assigned employees and to introduce employees to and integrate them into the ShiftPixy Ecosystem. This multilingual feature will allow us to move faster into outside markets.

 

Our new employees no longer have to fill out the burdensome pile of required new employee paperwork. By leveraging artificial intelligence capabilities, new hires are guided by a conversation with a “Pixy” chatbot that asks the necessary questions and generates the required employment documents in a highly personal and engaging way. Following completion of the questions, applicable onboarding paperwork is prepopulated with the data and prepared for the employee’s signature to be affixed digitally via the app as well. We use the app to gather even I-9 required documentation.

 

Our next phase of development is the implementation of the scheduling component of our software, which is designed to enable each client worksite to schedule workers and to identify shift gaps that need to be filled. We leverage artificial intelligence to maintain schedules and fulfillment, using an active methodology to engage and move people to action.

 

The next succeeding phase of development is the implementation of our shift intermediation functionality, which is designed to enable our shift workers to receive information regarding and to accept available shift work opportunities.

 

We also plan to begin using the “delivery features” of our mobile platform during the third calendar quarter of 2019. Our technology and approach to human capital management allows the company a unique window into the daily demands of “Quick Service Restaurants” (“QSR”) operators and the ability to extend our technology and engagement to enable this unique self-delivery proposition. ShiftPixy’s new driver management layer for operators in the ShiftPixy ecosystem will now allow clients to use their own team members to deliver a brand intended customer experience and retain customer data as well as profit currently taken by third party delivery platforms. ShiftPixy has taken the compliance, management and insurance issues related to the support of a delivery option and created a turnkey self-delivery opportunity. This would allow our clients to enjoy the income growth from delivery and preserve their customer experience and their brand. The first phase of this component of our platform is the driver onboarding, which was completed by the end of our third calendar quarter of 2018. Following completion of this phase, we plan to add features that enhance the capability of our mobile application to track and manage the delivery process. The enhanced features will “micro metering” of essential commercial insurance coverages required by our operator clients-namely workers’ compensation and auto coverages on a delivery-by-delivery basis.

 

The Company began building its internal software development team and transitioned away from its current software development vendor to expedite the Company’s technology deployment. The tardy delivery of the user features from the Company’s previous software development vendor and related on-going litigation slowed down the pace of the Company’s growth. The completion of our technology and the deployment of these features would further accelerate the growth of the Company. Under licensing agreement, the Company will be launching version 2.0 of its app and enhanced user features (onboarding, scheduling and intermediation) during the third calendar quarter with all user features as well as the driver management. The release of these features will further accelerate the growth of our business and move the Company closer to its financial breakeven point.

 

Performance Highlights

Table of Contents

 

Operating expense increased by 73.4% to $5.8 million in the quarter ended May 31, 2019, from $3.4 million in the quarter ended May 31, 2018. Payroll related costs increased due to the increase in the average corporate employees. Professional fees increase due to ongoing litigations and corporate matters. SG&A increased due to additional marketing expenses as the Company build awareness of our technology platform and self-delivery solution, additional penalties due to late remittances of payroll taxes and addition depreciation resulting from the capitalization of software development costs.

 

Interest expense increased by 100% to $4.3 million resulting from the amortization of the debt discount and debt issuance costs related to our June 2018 financing and March 2019 financing and the excess of the fair value of warrants and conversion options over the gross proceeds of the convertible debt.

 

Net Loss increased to $5.0 million or $0.15 per diluted share, from $1.8 million or $0.06 per diluted share.

Gross billings are a non-GAAP measurement and are the metric in which we currently earn our revenue. Gross billings for the three months ended May 31, 2019, were earned from billings to clients to whom we provide staff or workforce management support (PEO and ASO). Gross billings for the three months ended May 31, 2019, increased by $34.0 million or 56.6% to $94.2 million, compared to $60.2 million for the three months ended May 31, 2018.

 

The payroll cost of our worksite employees account for 84.8% and 84.4% of our gross billings for the three months ended May 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively. As such, the mark- up components of gross billings account for approximately 15.2% and 15.6% for the three months ended May 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

 

Approximately $4.7 million of the increase in revenue is attributed to an increase in worksite employee, which increased by approximately 3,608 to an average of 10,860 employees in the three months ended May 31, 2019, compared to an average of 7,252 employees in the three months ended May 31, 2018. Revenues are recognized ratably over the payroll period as worksite employees perform their service at the client worksite.

 

Approximately $0.2 million of the increase in revenue is attributed to an increase in employee benefits billed to our clients for our company sponsored benefits plan.

 

Cost of Revenues mainly includes the costs of employer-side taxes and workers’ compensation insurance coverage and employee benefits. Our cost of revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2019, increased by $3.8 million or 48.1% to $11.6 million compared to $7.8 million in the three months ended May 31, 2018.

 

The increase is attributed to the additional worksite employees the Company is servicing, which increased by 3,608 from an average of 7,252 employees for the three months ended May 31, 2018, to an average of 10,860 employees for the three months ended May 31, 2019.

 

Gross Profit for the three months ended May 31, 2019, increased by $1.2 million or 75.0% to $2.7 million, compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended May 31, 2018. The gross profit, as a percentage of revenues, increased from 16.5% for the three months ended May 31, 2018, to 19.0% for the three months ended May 31, 2019.

 

Such increase to our gross profit is mainly attributable to the economies of scale from our workers compensation program and the good trend of our loss ratio on our new deductible program. The Company transferred from a guaranteed cost workers compensation program to a deductible program resulting in lower workers compensation premium billed to us offset by additional money funded to our claim loss fund as requirement to our deductible workers compensation program.

 

Total Operating Expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2019, increased by $2.5 million or 73.4% to $5.8 million compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended May 31, 2018.

 

Our payroll costs for the three months ended May 31, 2019, increased by $0.5 million to $1.8 million compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended May 31, 2018.

 

Approximately $0.4 million of the increase is attributed to the increase in our corporate payroll employees from an average of 43 for the three months ended May 31, 2018, to 58 employees for the three months ended May 31, 2019.

 

Approximately $0.1 million of the increase is attributed to the additional employee benefits due to increased corporate employee, increased benefits premiums rate by approximately 10% in July 2018 and increased enrollments among our ShiftableHR PEO clients.

 

Commissions for the three months ended May 31, 2019, increased by $0.3 million or 65% to $0.8 million compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended May 31, 2018. Such increase is a direct result of the increased volume of activity and additional commissions paid to our internal sales force. Commissions has remained consistent at 1 percent of billed gross wages for the three months ended May 31, 2019, and 2018.

 

Professional fees for the three months ended May 31, 2019, increased by $0.9 million or 207% to $1.3 million, from $0.4 million for the three months ended May 31, 2018. Such increase results from additional legal fees paid for ongoing litigation, corporate affairs and workers compensation claim specialist aimed at ensuring that existing workers compensation claims are timely processed and closed.

Depreciation & Amortization increased by $0.2 million to $0.3 million in the three months ended May 31, 2019, from $0.1 million in the three months ended May 31, 2018. The Company capitalized $3.8 million of software development costs related to the application development stage as of May 31, 2019 as opposed to $0.8 million as of May 31, 2018.

 

General and Administrative expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2019, increased by $0.7 million or 68.6% to $1.7 million, from $1.0 million in the three months ended May 31, 2018. Most of the increase is related to marketing expenses to build awareness around our business proposition and self-delivery solution and fees incurred for conferences, trade shows and various publications.

 

Net loss/Income. As a result of the explanations described above, the net loss ended up at $5.0 million for the three months ended May 31, 2019, compared to a net loss of $1.8 million for the three months ended May 31, 2018.

Revenue for the nine months ended May 31, 2019, increased by $14.2 million or 59.9% to $38.0 million, compared to $23.8 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2018.

 

Revenues are recognized ratably over the payroll period as worksite employees perform their service at the client worksite.

 

Gross billings are a non-GAAP measurement and are the metric in which we currently earn our revenue. Gross billings for the nine months ended May 31, 2019, were earned from billings to clients to whom we provide staff or workforce management support (PEO and ASO). Gross billings for the nine months ended May 31, 2019, increased by $98.6 million or 66.2% to $247.6 million, compared to $149.0 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2018.

 

The payroll cost of our worksite employees account for 84.7% and 84.0% of our gross billings for the nine months ended May 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively. As such, the mark-up components of gross billings account for approximately 15.3% and 16.0% for the nine months ended May 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

 

Approximately $12.6 million of the increase in revenue is attributed to an increase in worksite employee, which increased by an average of 3,413 to an average of 9,836 employees in the nine months ended May 31, 2019, compared to 6,423 employees in the nine months ended May 31, 2018.

 

The remaining $1.6 million of the increase is due to higher administrative fees charged, employee benefits contributions from company sponsored plans and better pricing of our workers compensation program.

 

Cost of Revenues mainly includes the costs of employer-side taxes and workers’ compensation insurance coverage. Our cost of revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2019, increased by $8.6 million or 42.8% to $28.7 million in the nine months ended May 31, 2019, compared to $20.1 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2018.

 

Approximately $10.7 million is attributed to the additional worksite employees the Company is servicing, which increased by 3,413 from an average of 6,423 employees for the nine months ended May 31, 2018, to an average of 9,836 employees for the nine months ended May 31, 2019.

 

The above increase was offset by the reversal of approximately $1.0 million of California Federal unemployment Tax since this credit reduction was waived. If states have outstanding Federal Unemployment Account (“FUA”) loans on January 1 of two consecutive years and have not paid off the balance by November 10, they are subject to a credit reduction on their Federal Unemployment Tax rate until the balance has been paid off. California paid its FUA loans earlier this year and has not taken out additional loans by November 10, 2018, as such the State will not be a credit reduction state for 2019.

 

The above increase was offset by $1.1 million attributed to the reduction of the Company state unemployment rate and the lower workers compensation premium since portion of the manual premium is paid to a loss fund as a requirement to any deductible workers compensation program.

 

Gross Profit for the nine months ended May 31, 2019, increased by $5.6 million or 153.6% to $9.3 million, compared to $3.7 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2018. The gross profit, as a percentage of revenues, increased from 15.5% for the nine months ended May 31, 2018, to 24.5% for the nine months ended May 31, 2019.

 

Such increase in our gross profit is attributable to the following factors: (i) better monetization of our base line engagement, which generated additional administrative fees, (ii) reduction to our state unemployment tax rate and the forfeiture of the California Federal unemployment Tax, (iii) transfer from a guaranteed cost workers compensation program to a deductible program resulting in lower workers compensation premium billed to us offset by additional money funded to our claim loss fund as requirement to our deductible workers compensation program.

 

Total Operating Expenses for the nine months ended May 31, 2019, increased by $4.4 million or 38.2% to $15.9 million compared to $11.5 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2018.

 

Our payroll costs for the nine months ended May 31, 2019, increased by $1.8 million or 45.9% to $5.6 million compared to $3.8 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2018.

Table of Contents

 

Approximately $1.3 million of the increase is attributed to the increase in our corporate payroll employees from an average of 42 for the nine months ended May 31, 2018, to 56 employees for the nine months ended May 31, 2019.

 

Approximately $0.2 million is due to the accrual of severance packages agreed upon termination of certain executives.

 

Approximately $0.3 million of the increase is attributed to the additional employee benefits due to increased corporate employee, increased benefits premiums rate by approximately 10% in July 2018 and increased enrollments among our ShiftableHR PEO clients.

 

Commissions for the nine months ended May 31, 2019, increased by $0.8 million or 77.6% to $1.9 million compared to $1.1 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2018. Commissions paid accounts for 0.9% of payroll costs for the nine months ended May 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively. Such increase is a direct result of the increased volume of activity.

 

Professional fees for the nine months ended May 31, 2019, increased by $1.4 million or 97.5% to $2.8 million, from $1.4 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2018. Such increase results from additional legal fees paid for ongoing litigation and corporate affairs and additional fees paid for our workers compensation claims specialist.

 

Depreciation & Amortization increased by $0.5 million or 344.8% to $0.6 million in the nine months ended May 31, 2019, from $0.1 million in the nine months ended May 31, 2018. The Company capitalized $3.8 million of software development costs related to the application development stage as of May 31, 2019 as opposed to $0.8 million as of May 31, 2018.

 

General and Administrative expenses for the nine months ended May 31, 2019, increased by $1.3 million or 53.0% to $3.9 million, from $2.5 million in the nine months ended May 31, 2018. Most of the increase is related to marketing expenses incurred to build awareness around our business proposition and self-delivery feature of our mobile application and fees incurred for conferences and various publications and depreciation expense.

 

Net loss. As a result of the explanations described above, the net loss for the nine months ended May 31, 2019, was $9.4 million, compared to a net loss of $7.9 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2018.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of May 31, 2019, the Company had cash of $2.9 million and a working capital deficiency of $9.0 million. During the nine months ended May 31, 2019, the Company used approximately $1.6 million of cash in its operations, of which $1 million was attributed to the mobile application development costs. The Company has incurred recurring losses resulting in an accumulated deficit of $35.6 million as of May 31, 2019. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as going concern within one year from issuance date of the financial statements.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining additional funds by way of public or private offering to meet the Company’s obligations and repay its liabilities when they become due.

 

Historically, the Company’s principal source of financing has come through the sale of its common stock and issuance of convertible notes. The Company successfully completed an Initial Public Offering (IPO) on NASDAQ on June 29, 2017, raising a total of $12 million or $10.9 million net of costs. In June 2018, the Company completed a private placement of 8% senior secured convertible notes to institutional investors raising $9 million of gross proceeds or $8.4 million net of costs. In March 2019, the Company completed a private placement of senior secured convertible notes with certain of its existing institutional investors raising an additional $3.75 million of gross proceeds or $3.3 million net of closing costs.

 

The Company is in dispute with its former software developer, Kadima Ventures (“Kadima”), over incomplete but paid for software development work. The Company began building its internal software development team and transitioned away from Kadima to expedite the Company’s technology deployment. Such transition would further increase the Company’s quarterly cash burn by approximately $0.5 million per quarter. The tardy delivery of the user features from Kadima and related on-going litigation slowed down the pace of the Company’s growth. Under licensing agreement for certain features, the Company will be launching version 2.0 of its app and enhanced user features during the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter with all user features including the self-delivery feature. The completion of our technology and the deployment of these features, expected in our fourth fiscal quarter, would further accelerate the growth of the Company.

Exclusive of the software development costs and assuming all payroll taxes are paid as incurred and excluding non-recurring expenditures, the Company is currently using $2.0 million each quarter from its operations or approximately $0.7 million per month. The Company continues to experience significant growth in the number of worksite employees, which would generate additional administrative fees and profit on employer-related taxes that would offset the current level of operational cash burn. Indeed, since May 31, 2019, the Company has added, through executed service agreements, approximately 17 new clients, servicing approximately 6,600 worksite employees with approximately $32.5 million in additional revenue per year, which would generate an additional of $1.1 million in quarterly administrative fees.

 

The Company s existing institutional investors from our senior secured convertibles have converted approximately $8.8 million of their principal into 6.8 million shares of the Company s common stock, which allowed the Company to retain cash to fund its operations and build its IT department to complete the deployment of its technology platform. The Company seeks to renegotiate the 2018 and 2019 notes, without litigating the matter in courts, to amend the terms to remove the conversion features and revise the cash amortization schedule to be more in alignment with the Company s cash flow.

 

With the added general and administrative costs from building its IT department, the Company anticipates using the actual cash position and continue leveraging its payables until it reaches breakeven at about 25,000 worksite employees.

 

The deployment of our technology features, especially our self-delivery feature, is expected to further accelerate the growth of the Company. The Company s management believes that the current cash position, along with the resulted accelerated revenue growth will be sufficient to fund its operation for at least a year from the date these financials are available. If these sources do not provide the capital necessary to fund the Company s operations during the next twelve months from the date of this report, the Company may need to curtail certain aspects of its operations or expansion activities, consider the sale of its assets, or consider other means of financing. The Company can give no assurance that it will be successful in implementing its business plan and obtaining financing on terms advantageous to the Company or that any such additional financing would be available to the Company. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments from this uncertainty

  

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In addition to financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, we monitor other non-GAAP measures that we use to manage our business, make planning decisions and allocate resources. These key financial measures provide an additional view of our operational performance over the long term and provide useful information that we use to maintain and grow our business. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is used to enhance the understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance. It is not meant to be considered in isolation, superior to, or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

Material Commitments

 

We do not have any contractual obligations for ongoing capital expenditures at this time. However, the Company entered into a white-label last mile platform solution on March 22, 2019. Such agreement includes a three-year monthly licensing fee of approximately $80k. We also do purchase equipment and software necessary to conduct our operations on a as needed basis.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Contingencies

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will be resolved only when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management, in consultation with its legal counsel as appropriate, assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company, in consultation with legal counsel, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

 

New and Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

For a listing of our new and recently adopted accounting standards, see note 2, Summary of significant accounting policies, of the Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in “Part I, Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)” of this report.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q was properly recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. The Company’s controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) at May 31, 2019, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, at May 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective.

Management’s Updated Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an updated evaluation as of May 31, 2019, of the evaluation of effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2018, based on the framework stated by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Based on its updated evaluation as of May 31, 2019, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of May 31, 2019. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

The material weaknesses at May 31, 2019, relate to the following:

 

1. Lack of Adequate Finance and Accounting Personnel – Our current accounting staff is relatively small, and we do not have the required infrastructure to timely identify technical accounting issues, adequately prepare and review financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP as well as meeting the higher demands of being a U.S. public company. We also lack adequate written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements. The lack of adequate personnel also creates inadequate segregation of duties, which makes the reporting process susceptible to management override. The Company is in the process of finalizing written policies and procedures to formalize the requirements of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the quarter ended May 31, 2019, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings and Risk Factors.

 

(a) Legal Proceedings.

 

The Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business which, in the opinion of the Company, are not material in that management either expects that the Company will be successful on the merits of the pending cases or that any liabilities resulting from such cases will be substantially covered by insurance. While it is impossible to estimate with certainty the ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to these actions, management believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities will not be material to the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company. There have been no material developments to the litigations disclosed in our Annual Report in Form 10-K.

 

(b) Risk Factors.

 

Not required.

 

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

During the nine months ended May 31, 2019, the Company entered into settlement agreements and mutual release with certain institutional investors, which extended the principal amount of the 8% senior secured convertible notes by $888,889, and resolves all disputes between the Company and the investors relating to technical defaults by the Company in failing to meet deadlines set forth in agreements between the Company and the investors for filing a registration statement and for having the registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The notes are senior and secured by all the assets of the Company. Sales of all of these securities were made pursuant to rule 506(c) of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under the Act.

 

During the nine months ended May 31, 2019, the Company entered into senior secured convertible notes with certain institutional investors in the principal amount of $4,750,000. The notes are senior and secured by all assets of the Company. Sales of all of these securities were made pursuant to rule 506(c) of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under the Act.

 

Exercise of warrants

 

For the nine months ended May 31, 2019, certain shareholders who had acquired securities under our past 506(b) offerings, exercised warrants to acquire 267,500 shares of our common stock for total consideration of $660,000.

 

Stock options and other equity awards

 

On December 11, 2018, we issued an aggregate of 65,792 shares for services to two directors for aggregate consideration of $150,006 based upon a price of $2.28 per share, the trading price on date of issuance. We relied upon Section 4(a)2 for the issuance of these securities. The securities vest 50% on six months of service after issuance date and the remaining 50% on twelve months after issuance date assuming the director was still serving as director on those dates.

On May 15, 2019, we issued 48,077 shares for services to our director and Chairman of the Audit Committee for total consideration of $37,500 based upon a price of $0.78 per share, the trading price on the date of issuance.

 

In March 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 Stock Option / Stock Issuance Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides incentives to eligible employees, officers, directors and consultants in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and stock. The Company has reserved a total of 10,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan. Of these shares, 3,061,648 options and 291,093 shares have been designated by the Board of Directors for issuance through the date of filing of this Quarterly Report, provided, however, that approximately 1,109,998 of the options have been forfeited and returned to the option pool under the Plan as a consequence of employment terminations. Unless the Plan Administrator otherwise provides, each option is immediately exercisable, but the shares subject to such option will vest over a period of time as follows: 25% vest after a 12-month service period following the award, and the balance vest in equal monthly installments over the next 36 months of service. The issuance of shares under the Plan vest according to terms established for such issuance by the Plan Administrator. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, none of the options has been exercised.

 

The shares of common stock to be issued upon the exercise of stock options described above will have been issued pursuant to written compensatory plans or arrangements with our employees, directors and consultants, in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 701, promulgated under the Securities Act, or the exemption set forth in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder relative to transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. All recipients either will have received adequate information about us or will have had access, through employment or other relationships, to such information. 

We believed that Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 was available for all issuances above because:

 

 

·None of these issuances involved underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions.

 

 

 

 

·Restrictive legends were and will be placed on all certificates issued as described above.

 

 

 

 

·The distribution did not involve general solicitation or advertising.

 

 

 

 

·The sales of shares were made only to existing investors who acquired securities under prior private offerings

 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
