PART I

Item 1. Business.

Corporate History

Unique Logistics International, Inc. (the “Company” or “Unique”) (formerly Innocap, Inc.) was incorporated in Nevada on January 23, 2004. In May 2011, the Company changed its business plan to begin researching the location of and salvaging sunken ships. Until October 2020, the Company had been actively negotiating several research and salvage projects in Indonesia, Malaysia, and other countries in connection with ships that were sunk during World War II.

On October 8, 2020, the Company, Inno Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”), and Unique Logistics Holdings, Inc., a privately-held Delaware corporation headquartered in New York (“Unique”), entered into an Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Acquisition Agreement”) pursuant to which the Merger Sub was merged with and into Unique, with Unique surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The transaction (the “Closing”) took place on October 8, 2020 (the “Closing Date”). The Company acquired, through a reverse triangular merger, all of the outstanding capital stock of Unique in exchange for issuing Unique’s shareholders (the “Unique Shareholders”), pro-rata, an aggregate of 1,000,000 million shares of preferred stock, with certain of Unique Shareholders receiving 130,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock par value $0.001 per share, and certain of the Unique Shareholders receiving of 870,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. Immediately after the Merger was consummated, and further to the Acquisition Agreement, certain affiliates of the Company cancelled a total of 45,606,489 shares of the Company’s common stock, and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock held by them (the “Cancellation”). In consideration of the Cancellation of such shares of the Company’s common stock and preferred stock, Unique agreed to assume certain liabilities of the Company. As a result of the Merger and the Cancellation, the Unique Shareholders became the majority shareholders of the Company. Immediately following the Closing of the Merger, the Company changed its business plan to that of Unique.

Increase in Authorized Shares and Name Change

On January 11, 2021, Innocap Inc. filed a certificate of amendment to its articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, for the adoption of amended and restated articles of incorporation of Innocap Inc. (the “Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation”). The adopted Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation: (i) increased the number of authorized common stock from 500,000,000 shares to 800,000,000 shares; and (ii) changed the Company’s name to Unique Logistics International, Inc. (the “Company”).

The Name Change was approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and became effective in the market on January 14, 2021. In connection with the name change, the Company changed its ticker symbol from “INNO” to “UNQL”.

Management Buyout Transaction

Unique Logistics Holdings, Inc. (“Unique”) a Delaware corporation, was formed on October 28, 2019, for the purpose of conducting a management buyout of three United States subsidiaries majority owned by Unique Logistics Holdings Ltd., a Hong Kong company (“UL HK”) (the “Management Buy Out Transaction”).

UL HK was incorporated in Hong Kong in 1983. UL HK commenced its business with a focus on transpacific logistics services because of the increasing demands of trade between Hong Kong and the United States. The initial focus was on air freight services, but UL HK quickly diversified into ocean freight services. In its first fifteen years of operations, UL HK established itself as a major international logistics service provider in Hong Kong. Driven by the needs of its customer base, from 1997 through 2012, UL HK established a network of offices throughout Asia and the United States. By the end of 2012, the Unique Logistics brand was well recognized in several Asian countries including China, India, and Vietnam. In the United States, UL HK offices in Boston, Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago had a growing United States customer base in several sectors such as fashion, department stores, furniture, toys, and home goods. The vast majority of ULHK’s international business consisted of services pertaining to United States based companies.

On May 29, 2020 (the “Buyout Transaction Date”), Unique entered into that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (“UL HK Purchase Agreement”) by and between Unique and UL HK, pursuant to which the Company purchased from UL HK (i) sixty percent (60%) of the membership interests of Unique Logistics International (ATL) LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“UL ATL”); (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the common stock of Unique Logistics International (BOS) Inc, a Massachusetts corporation (“UL BOS”); and (iii) sixty-five percent (65%) of Unique Logistics International (USA) Inc., a New York corporation, a sole owner of Unique Logistics International (NYC), Inc. (“UL NYC”), for a purchase price of: (i) US$6,000,000, to be paid in accordance with the following (a) $1,000,000 in cash (the “UL HK Cash Purchase Price”); (b) $5,000,000 in the form a subordinated promissory note issued in favor of UL HK and (c) 1,500,000 shares of common stock of Unique Logistics Holdings, representing on issuance 15% of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock then outstanding on a fully diluted basis (the “UL HK Stock Purchase Price”). Pursuant to the UL HK Purchase Agreement, Unique has been granted an option to purchase 50% of UL HK’s interest in Unique Logistics International (North and East China) Company Limited and its affiliated companies (collectively “UL China”) and has been granted an option to purchase 65% of UL HK’s interest in Unique Logistics International India (Private) Limited (“UL India”) within 12 months of the Buyout Transaction Date.

Further, in connection with the Management Buyout Transaction, Unique entered into a Consulting Services Agreement for a term of three years with Great Eagle Freight Limited (“Great Eagle” or “GEFD”), a Hong Kong Company (the “Consulting Services Agreement”). Pursuant to the Consulting Services Agreement, GEFD will provide Unique with logistics services, agents management services, support services, accounting and financial controls support, software, and IT support.

In connection with the Management Buyout Transaction, Unique also entered into three separate securities purchase agreements with the minority interest holders of UL ATL (the “UL ATL Transaction”), UL BOS (the “UL BOS Transaction”) and UL NYC (the “UL NYC Transaction”), respectively, whereby, together with the consummation of the Management Buy Out Transaction, each such entity became a wholly owned subsidiary of Unique Logistics Holdings.

In connection with the UL ATL Transaction, Unique purchased from the minority shareholder, the remaining forty percent (40%) of the UL ATL Membership Interests, for a purchase price of: (i) US$2,819,000, which was paid in accordance with the following (a) $994,000 in cash; and (b) $1,825,000 through a subordinated, non-interest bearing, promissory note to be issued in favor of the minority holder (the “UL ATL Note”). The UL ATL Note bears no interest, except for Default Interest upon the occurrence of a default as defined therein and has a maturity date of May 29, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”). The UL ATL Note provides that payments shall be made to the holder in six equal installments of $304,167, with the first payment due on November 29, 2020, and subsequent payment due on May 29^th and November 29^th of each year until the Maturity Date.

In connection with the UL BOS Transaction, Unique purchased from the minority shareholder, the remaining twenty percent (20%) of the UL BOS Common Stock for a purchase price of up to $290,000 to be paid in accordance with the following (a) $90,000 to be paid in monthly cash payments of $2,500 for a period of thirty-six (36) months, and (b) the assumption of up to $200,000 of debt owed to UL HK. In connection with the UL BOS Transaction, Unique Logistics Holdings, Inc entered into an employment agreement with the minority shareholder dated May 29, 2020 (the “UL BOS Employment Agreement”). The UL BOS Employment Agreement contains an initial term of three years, beginning on May 29, 2020, and ending on May 29, 2023, following the initial term the employment may be terminated by either party on 60 days’ written notice. The UL BOS Employment Agreement provides that the employee will serve as a senior vice president to the Company and will perform the duties and services consistent with the title and function of such office.

In connection with the UL NYC Transaction, Unique purchased from the minority shareholder, Unique Chief Executive Officer, Sunandan Ray, the remaining thirty-five percent (35%) of the UL NYC Common Stock for consideration to be paid in accordance with the following (a) the issuance of 7,200,000 shares of the Unique common stock and (b) the entrance into and execution of an employment agreement by and between the parties as further described herein (the “Ray Employment Agreement”).

Business Overview

Unique Logistics International, Inc. provides a full range of global logistics services by providing to its customers a robust international network that strategically supports the movement of its customers goods. Acting solely as a third-party logistics provider, Unique purchases available cargo space in volume from its network of carriers (such as airlines, ocean shipping, and trucking lines) and resells that space to our customers. Unique Logistics does not own any of these ships, trucks, or aircraft and does not plan on entering the ownership model.

Operating via its wholly owned subsidiaries, UL BOS and UL NYC, Unique provides a range of international logistics services that enable its customers to outsource to the Company sections of their supply chain process. The services provided by the Company are seamlessly managed by its network of trained employees and integrated information systems. We enable our customers to share data regarding their international vendors and purchase orders with us, execute the flow of goods and information under their operating instructions, provide visibility to the flow of goods from factory to distribution center or store and when required, update their inventory records.

Primary services

Air Freight Services

Operating as an Indirect Air Carrier (IAC) or an airfreight consolidator, the Company provides both time savings and cost-effective air freight options to its customers. An expansive global network enables the Company to offer door to door service allowing customers to benefit from our expert staff for guidance with the physical movement of cargo and documentation compliance. Unique purchases cargo space from airlines on a volume basis and resells that space to our customers at a lower price than they would be able to negotiate themselves for their individual shipments. The Company, through its integrated management system, determines the best routing for shipments and then arrangements are made to receive the cargo into a designated warehouse. Upon receipt, cargo is inspected and weighed, documentation is collected, and export clearance is processed. Once cargo is cleared it is prepared for departure. Unique offers real-time tracking visibility for customers to view when an order is booked, departs and arrives. Unique contracts with a worldwide network of airlines and other service providers to provide the best airfreight service in assisting importers to ship using the most efficient and cost-effective method. Some of the selections we offer include:

Ocean Freight Services

Operating as an ocean transportation intermediary (“OTI”) to provide ocean freight service both as a non-vessel owning common carrier (“NVOCC”) and ocean freight forwarder, Unique Logistics provides to its customers ocean freight consolidation, direct ocean forwarding, and order management. We are a common carrier that holds itself out to the public to provide ocean transportation, issues its own house bills of lading or equivalent document, but does not operate the vessels by which ocean transportation is provided. The Company’s roles and responsibilities in ocean freight services include the following:

Customs Brokerage and Compliance Services

Unique Logistics is a licensed United States customs broker whose mission is to ensure that its importing clients are in compliance with all required regulations. Our services help importers clear cargo with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, including documentation collection, valuation review, product classification, electronic submission to customs and the collection and payment of duties, tariffs, and fees. Unique Logistics works with importers to develop a compliant trade program including product databases, compliance manuals and periodic internal audits. The development of product databases has become critical in the current economic environment due to the increasing trade tensions and various tariffs imposed as a result. Unique Logistics also offers importers tools to improve on efficiency such as reporting, visibility and trade consulting including training seminars. Additional services include:

Warehousing and Distribution Services

Unique Logistics operates a warehousing facility in Santa Fe Springs, CA and plans to expand such services through its own managed facilities. Unique Logistics also provides warehousing and distribution services through third party facilities. Our current facility is leased to the Company and is 110,000 sq. ft. with storage capacity for around 9,000 pallets and 10 dedicated employees.

Warehousing and Distribution services enable Unique Logistics to greatly expand its involvement in our customers’ supply chain, post arrival of international shipments into the United States. By providing inventory management, order fulfillment, and other services, our customers benefit from cost savings related to space, equipment, and labor due to efficiencies of scale. Our list of Warehousing and Distribution Services include the following:

Order Management

Unique Logistics offers order management services providing importers with total visibility on every order from the time placed with the supplier to door delivery. Importers send orders electronically immediately upon creation giving the Company the ability to assist in firmly holding suppliers to shipping windows. Ultimately this results in optimizing consolidation and improved on-time delivery. Order management also gives importers the power to control their supply chain by monitoring key milestone events, track order status and manage delivery to the end consumer.

Industry Overview and Competition

The global logistics industry is highly competitive, and we expect it to remain so for the foreseeable future. Although there are a large number of companies that compete or provide services in one or more segments of the logistics industry, Unique Logistics is part of a much smaller group of companies that provides a full suite of services. In each area of service, we face competition from companies operating within that service segment as well as companies that provide a wider range of global services.

The industry includes (i) specialized Non-Vessel Owning Common Carriers (“NVOCCs”), an ocean carrier that transports goods under its own House Bill of Lading, or equivalent documentation, without operating ocean transportation vessels and (ii) Indirect Air Carriers (“IACs”) which are persons or entities within the United States, not in possession of an FAA air carrier operating certificate, which undertake to engage indirectly in air transportation of property and uses for all or any part of such transportation the services of an air carrier, freight forwarders, trucking companies, customs brokers and warehouse operators who operate within their specialized space and very often pose pricing advantages within that segment.

Our mission is to bring value to our customers through specific competitive advantages:

Seasonality

Historically, our own operating results as well as the industry as a whole have been subject to seasonal demand. With our financial year end of May 31, typically our first and second quarters are the strongest with the fourth quarter being the weakest; however, there are no guarantees that these trends will continue or that the COVID-19 pandemic will not cause any other business disruptions. It is widely understood in the industry that these seasonal trends are influenced by a number of factors, including weather patterns, national holidays, economic conditions, consumer demand, major product launches, as well as a number of other market forces. Since many of these forces are unforeseen there is no way for us to provide assurances that these seasonal trends will continue.

Growth Strategy

Unique Logistics has established plans to grow its business by focusing on four key areas: (1) Organic Growth and Expansion in existing markets; (2) Strategic Acquisitions; (3) Warehousing and Distribution; and (4) Specialized services to United States companies on their overseas logistics needs in targeted Asian markets.

Organic Growth and Expansion in existing markets:

We plan to focus on developing business domestically to drive organic growth. Since the Management Buyout Transaction, we have significantly improved our operating efficiencies in the areas of procurement, customer service, finance and administration. We believe this will result in much lower overhead and the ability to build a uniform marketing strategy to build market share and further the brand recognition of Unique Logistics throughout the United States. Additionally, the Company will continuously assess its Information Technology environment based on emerging trends in logistics and customer requirements. The first step in the strategy is already in place: a single operating platform. We will continue to build add-on service tools that enhance our operating platform. One key area for technology focus will be the seamless delivery of e-Commerce services from origin to consumer with shipment visibility for both customer and the customer’s consumer.

We believe Unique Logistics’ business base that includes some of the largest importers in the United States can be expanded by building our sales organization and the support organization to successfully deliver our brand of service. The targeted growth areas include Charlotte, NC, Dallas, TX, Houston, TX and Seattle, WA.

Strategic Acquisitions:

We currently maintain an option to acquire ownership of significant UL HK foreign subsidiaries that are critical to our ability to meet our customers’ international requirements. Through the Consulting Services Agreement between the Company and GEFD, we will ensure that the international brand of Unique Logistics and the seamless services provided to customers remains in place even before the options to acquire UL HK’s foreign subsidiaries is exercised. Additionally, it is our intention to increase our business by seeking additional opportunities through potential domestic acquisitions, revenue sharing arrangements, partnerships, or investments.

Warehousing and Distribution

Unique Logistics has successfully established a major warehousing facility in Santa Fe Springs, CA and now has in-house the management expertise (commercial as well as operational) in successfully managing such facilities. Unique Logistics has also identified a method of identifying growth opportunities by focusing on specific areas of the United States and existing well-constructed facilities where lease assumption is available with an existing customer base.

Specialized Services to US Companies in Overseas Markets

Unique Logistics has several decades of experience in Asian markets such as China, India, Vietnam and Indonesia. Unique Logistics is constantly dealing with a United States customer base that seeks to do business in these areas but require local expertise. We have the experience and the connections to assist United States companies with local importation, local warehousing and distribution and other local logistics and trade compliance services. We plan to build on our expertise in these four specific countries to build tailored services to US customers, including in business consulting pertaining to logistics and related trade services.

Government Regulations and Security

Our industry is subject to regulation and supervision by several governmental authorities.

Operations

The U.S. Department of Transportation (“DOT”), the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, through the Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”), have regulatory authority over our air transportation services. The Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, is the statutory basis for DOT and FAA authority and the Aviation and Transportation Security Act of 2001, as amended, is the basis for TSA aviation security authority.

All United States indirect air carriers are required to maintain prescribed security procedures and are subject to periodic audits by the TSA. Our overseas offices and agents are licensed as airfreight forwarders in their respective countries of operation. Our offices are licensed as an airfreight forwarder from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a voluntary association of airlines and air transport related entities that prescribes certain operating procedures for airfreight forwarders acting as agents for its members.

The shipping of goods by sea is regulated by the Federal Maritime Commission (“FMC”). Our Company is licensed by the FMC to operate as an Ocean Transportation Intermediary (“OTI”) and as a NVOCC. As a licensed OTI and NVOCC, we are required to comply with several regulations, including the filing of our tariffs.

Under Department of Homeland Security regulations, we are a qualified participant in the Customs- Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (“C-TPAT”) program requiring us to be compliant with relevant security procedures in our operations.

We are licensed as a customs broker by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Agency of DHS, nationally and in each U.S. customs district in which we do business. All United States customs brokers are required to maintain prescribed records and are subject to periodic audits by CBP. In other jurisdictions in which we perform customs clearance services, we are licensed by the appropriate governmental authority where such license is required to perform these services.

We do not believe that current United States and foreign governmental regulations impose significant economic restraint upon our business operations. However, the regulations of foreign governments can impose barriers to our ability to provide the full range of our business activities in a wholly or majority United States-owned subsidiary. For example, foreign ownership of a customs brokerage business is prohibited in some jurisdictions and, less frequently, the ownership of the licenses required for freight forwarding and/or freight consolidation is restricted to local entities. When we encounter this sort of governmental restriction, we work to establish a legal structure that meets the requirements of the local regulations, while also providing the substantive operating and economic advantages that would be available in the absence of such regulation. This can be accomplished by creating a joint venture or exclusive agency relationship with a qualified local entity that holds the required license.

Environmental

We are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations across all of our business units. These laws and regulations cover a variety of processes, including, but not limited to: proper storage, handling and disposal of waste materials; appropriately managing wastewater and stormwater; monitoring and maintaining the integrity of underground storage tanks; complying with laws regarding clean air, including those governing emissions; protecting against and appropriately responding to spills and releases and communicating the presence of reportable quantities of hazardous materials to local responders. We have established site- and activity-specific environmental compliance and pollution prevention programs to address our environmental responsibilities and remain compliant. In addition, we have created several programs which seek to minimize waste and prevent pollution within our operations.

Employees and Human Capital

As of August 31, 2021, the Company had 108 employees. None of our employees are represented by a union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages and we consider our relationship with our employees to be good.

Our human capital resources objectives include, as applicable, identifying, recruiting, retaining, incentivizing and integrating our existing and new employees, advisors and consultants. The principal purposes of our equity incentive plan is to attract, retain and reward personnel through the granting of stock-based compensation awards, in order to increase stockholder value and the success of our company by motivating such individuals to perform to the best of their abilities and achieve our objectives.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is not involved in any disputes and does not have any significant litigation matters pending which the Company believes could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our Company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our Company’s or our Company’s subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

However, from time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our objectives, expectations, and intentions. The cautionary statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read as applicable to all forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this report. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

RISKS RELATED TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CASH FLOWS AND FINANCIAL POSITION.

We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business and geographies, including how it will impact our employees, customers and business partners. The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption, which could adversely affect our business operations and may materially and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

We experienced declines in demand for our services that began in the first quarter 2020 that had a substantial impact in the period through June 2020. From July 2020 onwards the recovery of online retail and ultimately brick and mortar retail and a surge of imports increased our workload significantly, despite the pandemic conditions. We also incurred additional costs to meet the needs of our employees including arrangements for working from home. An extended period of remote work arrangements could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks, and impair our ability to manage our business.

The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic may remain prevalent for a significant period of time and may continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts us will depend on numerous evolving factors and future developments that we are not able to predict. Due to the largely unprecedented and evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, it remains very difficult to predict the extent of the impact on our industry generally and our business in particular. Furthermore, the extent and pace of a recovery remains uncertain and may differ significantly among the countries in which we operate. As a result, the pandemic could have a material impact on our results of operations and heighten many of our other known risks described in this prospectus.

WE RELY ON SERVICE PROVIDERS, SUCH AS AIR, OCEAN AND GROUND FREIGHT CARRIERS, AND IF THEY BECOME FINANCIALLY UNSTABLE OR HAVE REDUCED CAPACITY TO PROVIDE SERVICES BECAUSE OF COVID-19, IT MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATING RESULTS.

As a non-asset-based provider of global logistics services, we depend on a variety of asset-based service providers, including air, ocean and ground freight carriers. The quality and profitability of our services depend upon effective selection and oversight of our service providers. COVID-19 places significant stress on our air, ocean, and freight ground carriers, which may continue to result in reduced carrier capacity or availability, pricing volatility or more limited carrier transportation schedules which could adversely impact our operations and financial results. During the pandemic, air carriers have been particularly affected having to cancel flights due to travel restrictions resulting in dramatic drops in revenues, historical losses, and liquidity challenges. Uncertainty over recovery of demand for passenger air travel, in particular business travel, to pre-pandemic levels means air carriers’ operations and financial stability may be adversely affected long term. Prior to 2020, ocean carriers have incurred significant operating losses are still highly leveraged with debt. Additionally, several ocean carriers have consolidated, with the potential for more to occur in the future.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY AND OUR INDUSTRY

THE COMPANY PROVIDES SERVICES TO CUSTOMERS ENGAGED IN INTERNATIONAL COMMERCE. EVERYTHING THAT AFFECTS INTERNATIONAL TRADE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO EXPAND OR CONTRACT OUR PRIMARY MARKET AND ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR OPERATING RESULTS. FOR EXAMPLE, INTERNATIONAL TRADE IS INFLUENCED BY:

WE HAVE CUSTOMERS WHO ARE RETAILERS AND THUS, SUBJECT TO THE IMPACT OF COVID RELATED RISKS AND RESTRICTIONS.

Our customer base includes several customers whose business involves retail to the public through brick and mortar stores, many of them in shopping malls. In the period from February 2020 to May 2020, many such customers faced significant downturn in their business resulting in shut down of supply chains and business loss for our Company. By February 2021, most of these customers saw their business recover to pre-pandemic levels. However, the risk of a resurgence of infections or a permanent decline in brick and mortar retail as a fallout of the pandemic could result in significant shift in the business of some of our customers.

WE DEPEND ON OPERATORS OF AIRCRAFTS, SHIPS, TRUCKS, PORTS AND AIRPORTS.

The financial condition of asset-based service providers can have a direct impact on our operations. For example, several ocean carriers have consolidated, with the potential for more consolidations to occur in the industry. The financial results reported by ocean carriers have been an industry concern for several years and bankruptcies such as that of Hanjin Shipping have aggravated those concerns. The combination of reduced carrier capacity and pricing volatility is a risk in our business and our inability to secure shipping capacity or face costs that we cannot pass on to our customers could materially affect our results. Our dependence on third parties to provide equipment and services may impact the delivery and quality of our transportation and logistics services.

OUR PAST ACQUISITIONS, AS WELL AS ANY ACQUISITIONS THAT WE MAY COMPLETE IN THE FUTURE, MAY BE UNSUCCESSFUL OR RESULT IN OTHER RISKS OR DEVELOPMENTS THAT ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS.

While we intend for our acquisitions to enhance our competitiveness and profitability, we cannot be certain that our past or future acquisitions will be accretive to earnings or otherwise meet our operational or strategic expectations. Special risks, including accounting, regulatory, compliance, information technology or human resources issues, may arise in connection with, or as a result of, the acquisition of an existing company, including the assumption of unanticipated liabilities and contingencies, difficulties in integrating acquired businesses, possible management distractions, or the inability of the acquired business to achieve the levels of revenue, profit, productivity or synergies we anticipate or otherwise perform as we expect on the timeline contemplated. We are unable to predict all of the risks that could arise as a result of our acquisitions.

In addition, if the performance of our reporting segments or an acquired business varies from our projections or assumptions, or if estimates about the future profitability of our reporting segments or an acquired business change, our revenues, earnings or other aspects of our financial condition could be adversely affected.

WE DERIVE A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR TOTAL REVENUES AND NET REVENUES FROM OUR LARGEST CUSTOMER.

Our largest customer comprises approximately twenty-five percent (25%) of our consolidated total revenues. The sudden loss of any of our major customers could materially and adversely affect our operating results.

DUE TO OUR DEPENDENCE ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS, WE ARE SUBJECT TO A CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK.

As of May 31, 2021, eight (8) customers accounted for approximately forty seven percent (47%) of our accounts receivable. In the case of insolvency by one of our significant customers, accounts receivable with respect to that customer might not be collectible, might not be fully collectible, or might be collectible over longer than normal terms, each of which could adversely affect our financial position. Additionally, our 10 largest customers accounted for approximately sixty percent (60%) of our total revenues for the year ended May 31, 2021. This concentration of credit risk makes us more vulnerable economically. The loss of any of these customers could materially reduce our revenues and net income, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

WE RELY ON TECHNOLOGY TO OPERATE OUR BUSINESS.

Our continued success is dependent on our systems continuing to operate and to meet the changing needs of our customers and users. We rely on our technology staff and vendors to successfully implement changes to and maintain our operating systems in an efficient manner. If we fail to maintain and enhance our operating systems, we may be at a competitive disadvantage and lose customers.

As demonstrated by recent material and high-profile data security breaches, computer malware, viruses, and computer hacking and phishing attacks have become more prevalent, have occurred on our systems in the past, and may occur on our systems in the future. Previous attacks on our systems have not had a material financial impact on our operations, but we cannot guarantee that future attacks will have little to no impact on our business.

Though it is difficult to determine what, if any, harm may directly result from any specific interruption or attack, a significant impact on the performance, reliability, security, and availability of our systems and technical infrastructure to the satisfaction of our users may harm our reputation, impair our ability to retain existing customers or attract new customers, and expose us to legal claims and government action, each of which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.

DIFFICULTY IN FORECASTING TIMING OR VOLUMES OF CUSTOMER SHIPMENTS OR RATE CHANGE BY CARRIERS COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR MARGINS AND OPERATING RESULTS.

We are not aware of any accurate means of forecasting short-term customer requirements. However, long-term customer satisfaction depends upon our ability to meet these unpredictable short-term customer requirements. Personnel costs, our single largest expense, are always less flexible in the very near term as we must staff to meet uncertain demand. As a result, short-term operating results could be disproportionately affected.

A significant portion of our revenues is derived from customers whose shipping patterns are tied closely to consumer demand and from customers in industries whose shipping patterns are dependent upon just-in-time production schedules. Therefore, the timing of our revenues is, to a large degree, impacted by factors out of our control, such as a sudden change in consumer demand for retail goods, changes in trade tariffs, product launches and/or manufacturing production delays. Additionally, many customers ship a significant portion of their goods at or near the end of a quarter, and therefore, we may not learn of a shortfall in revenues until late in a quarter. To the extent that a shortfall in revenues or earnings was not expected by securities analysts or investors, any such shortfall from levels predicted by securities analysts or investors could have an immediate and adverse effect on the trading price of our stock.

Volatile market conditions can create situations where rate increases charged by carriers and other service providers are implemented with little or no advance notice. We often cannot pass these rate increases on to our customers in the same time frame, if at all. As a result, our yields and margins can be negatively impacted, as recently experienced.

OUR EARNINGS MAY BE AFFECTED BY SEASONAL CHANGES IN THE TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY.

Results of operations for our industry generally show a seasonal pattern as customers reduce shipments during and after the winter holiday season. Historically, income from operations and earnings are lower in the first calendar quarter than in the other three quarters. We believe this historical pattern has been the result of, or influenced by, numerous factors, including national holidays, weather patterns, consumer demand, economic conditions, and other similar and subtle forces. Although seasonal changes in the transportation industry have not had a significant impact on our cash flow or results of operations, we expect this trend to continue and we cannot guarantee that it will not adversely impact us in the future.

OUR BUSINESS IS AFFECTED BY EVER INCREASING REGULATIONS FROM A NUMBER OF SOURCES IN THE UNITED STATES AND IN FOREIGN LOCATIONS IN WHICH WE OPERATE.

Many of these regulations are complex and require varying degrees of interpretation, including those related to trade compliance, data privacy, employment, compensation and competition, and may result in unforeseen costs.

In reaction to the continuing global terrorist threat, governments around the world are continuously enacting or updating security regulations. These regulations are multi-layered, increasingly technical in nature and characterized by a lack of harmonization of substantive requirements among various governmental authorities. Furthermore, the implementation of these regulations, including deadlines and substantive requirements, can be driven by regulatory urgencies rather than industry’s realistic ability to comply.

Failure to consistently and timely comply with these regulations, or the failure, breach or compromise of our policies and procedures or those of our service providers or agents, may result in increased operating costs, damage to our reputation, difficulty in attracting and retaining key personnel, restrictions on operations or fines and penalties.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF CHANGES IN POLITICAL AND GOVERNMENTAL CONDITIONS.

Our operations are subject to the influences of significant political, governmental, and similar changes and our ability to respond to them, including:

WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF CATASTROPHIC EVENTS.

A disruption or failure of our systems or operations in the event of a major earthquake, weather event, cyber-attack, heightened security measures, actual or threatened, terrorist attack, strike, civil unrest, pandemic, or other catastrophic event could cause delays in providing services or performing other critical functions. A catastrophic event that results in the destruction or disruption of any of our critical business or information systems could harm our ability to conduct normal business operations and adversely impact our operating results.

OUR INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS SUBJECT US TO OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL RISKS.

We provide services within and between foreign countries on an increasing basis. Our business outside of the United States is subject to various risks, including:

The occurrence or consequences of any of these factors may restrict our ability to operate in the affected region and/or decrease the profitability of our operations in that region.

As we continue to expand our business internationally, we expose the Company to increased risk of loss from foreign currency fluctuations and exchange controls, as well as longer accounts receivable payment cycles. Foreign currency fluctuations could result in currency exchange gains or losses or could affect the book value of our assets and liabilities. Furthermore, we may experience unanticipated changes to our income tax liabilities resulting from changes in geographical income mix and changing international tax legislation. We have limited control over these risks, and if we do not correctly anticipate changes in international economic and political conditions, we may not alter our business practices in time to avoid adverse effects.

THE COMPANY OPERATES IN A COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT.

Many of the Company’s current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, more employees, and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, public relations, and distribution resources than the Company. The competitive environment may require the Company to make changes in the Company’s pricing or marketing to maintain and extend the Company’s current brand and market position. Price concessions or the emergence of other pricing or distribution strategies of competitors may diminish the Company’s revenues, impact the Company’s margins, or lead to a reduction in the Company’s market share, any of which will harm the Company’s business.

AS A MULTINATIONAL CORPORATION, WE ARE SUBJECT TO FORMAL OR INFORMAL INVESTIGATIONS FROM GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES OR OTHERS IN THE COUNTRIES IN WHICH WE DO BUSINESS.

We may become subject to civil litigation with our customers, service providers and other parties with whom we do business. These investigations and litigation may require significant management time and could cause us to incur substantial additional legal and related costs, which may include fines, penalties or damages that could have a materially adverse impact on our financial results.

THE GLOBAL ECONOMY AND CAPITAL AND CREDIT MARKETS CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE UNCERTAINTY AND VOLATILITY.

Unfavorable changes in economic conditions may result in lower freight volumes and adversely affect the Company’s revenues and operating results. These conditions may adversely affect certain of our customers and service providers. Were that to occur, our revenues and net earnings could also be adversely affected. Should our customers’ ability to pay deteriorate, additional bad debts may be incurred. Volatile market conditions can create situations where rate increases charged by carriers and other service providers are implemented with little or no advance notice. We often times cannot pass these rate increases on to our customers in the same time frame, if at all. As a result, our yields and margins can be negatively impacted, as recently experienced, particularly with ocean freight.

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS STRATEGY WILL REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT EXPENDITURE OF CAPITAL AND WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FINANCING.

The implementation of the Company’s business strategy will require significant expenditures of capital, and the Company will require additional financing. Additional funds may be sought through equity or debt financings. The Company cannot offer any assurances that commitments for such financings will be obtained on favorable terms, if at all. Equity financings could result in dilution to holders and debt financing could result in the imposition of significant financial and operational restrictions on the Company. The Company’s inability to access adequate capital on acceptable terms could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

THE COMPANY’S FAILURE TO CONTINUE TO ATTRACT, TRAIN, OR RETAIN HIGHLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL COULD HARM THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS.

The Company’s success also depends on the Company’s ability to attract, train, and retain qualified personnel, specifically those with management and product development skills. Competition for such personnel is intense, particularly in high-technology centers. If the Company does not succeed in attracting new personnel or retaining and motivating the Company’s current personnel, the Company’s business could be harmed.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO PENNY STOCK RULES WHICH WILL MAKE THE SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK MORE DIFFICULT TO SELL.

We may be subject now and in the future to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules if our shares common stock sell below $5.00 per share. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to completing the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction the broker dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. The penny stock rules are burdensome and may reduce purchases of any offerings and reduce the trading activity for shares of our common stock. As long as our shares of common stock are subject to the penny stock rules, the holders of such shares of common stock may find it more difficult to sell their securities.

SALES OF OUR CURRENTLY ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING STOCK MAY BECOME FREELY TRADABLE PURSUANT TO RULE 144 AND MAY DILUTE THE MARKET FOR YOUR SHARES AND HAVE A DEPRESSIVE EFFECT ON THE PRICE OF THE SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK

A substantial majority of our outstanding shares of common stock are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that an Affiliate (as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(1)) of an issuer who has held restricted securities for a period of at least six months (one year after filing Form 10 information with the SEC for shell companies and former shell companies) may, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of a company’s outstanding shares of common stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale (the four calendar week rule does not apply to companies quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board). Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of securities, without any limitation, by a person who is not an Affiliate of the Company and who has satisfied a one-year holding period. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registrations of our shares of common stock, may have a depressive effect upon the price of our shares of common stock in any active market that may develop.

YOU WILL EXPERIENCE DILUTION OF YOUR OWNERSHIP INTEREST BECAUSE OF THE FUTURE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND OUR PREFERRED STOCK.

In the future, we may issue our authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our present stockholders. We are currently authorized to issue an aggregate of 805,000,000 shares of capital stock consisting of 800,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001.

We may also issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in connection with hiring or retaining employees or consultants, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes. The future issuance of any such additional shares of our common stock or other securities may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock. There can be no assurance that we will not be required to issue additional shares, warrants or other convertible securities in the future in conjunction with hiring or retaining employees or consultants, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes or for other business purposes, including at a price (or exercise prices) below the price at which shares of our common stock are trading.

WE DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY DIVIDENDS AND INVESTORS SHOULD NOT BUY OUR COMMON STOCK EXPECTING TO RECEIVE DIVIDENDS.

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock in the past, and do not anticipate that we will declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, investors will only realize an economic gain on their investment in our common stock if the price appreciates. Investors should not purchase our common stock expecting to receive cash dividends. Because we do not pay dividends, and there may be limited trading, investors may not have any manner to liquidate or receive any payment on their investment. Therefore, our failure to pay dividends may cause investors to not see any return on investment even if we are successful in our business operations. In addition, because we do not pay dividends, we may have trouble raising additional funds, which could affect our ability to expand our business operations.

A full list of properties leased by the Company are set out below:

Our spaces are utilized for office and warehouse purposes, and it is our belief that the spaces are adequate for our immediate needs. Additional space may be required as we expand our business activities. We do not foresee any significant difficulties in obtaining additional facilities if deemed necessary.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

The Company is not involved in any disputes and does not have any significant litigation matters pending which the Company believes could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our Company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our Company’s or our Company’s subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

However, from time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

Not Required.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This annual report on Form 10-K and other reports filed by Unique Logistics International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, (together the “Company”, “we”, “our”, and “us”) from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks contained in the “Risk Factors” section of the Annual Report on Form 10-K, relating to the Company’s industry, the Company’s operations and results of operations, and any businesses that the Company may acquire. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our consolidated financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Business Overview

We are a global logistics and freight forwarding company. We operated via our wholly owned subsidiaries, Unique Logistics Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“UL HI”), Unique Logistics International (BOS) Inc, a Massachusetts corporation (“UL BOS”) and Unique Logistics International (NYC) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“UL NYC”).

The Company provides a range of international logistics services that enable its customers to outsource to the Company sections of their supply chain process. The services provided by the Company are seamlessly managed by its network of trained employees and integrated information systems. We enable our customers to share data regarding their international vendors and purchase orders with us, execute the flow of goods and information under their operating instructions, provide visibility to the flow of goods from factory to distribution center or store and when required, update their inventory records.

Our range of services can be categorized as follows:

Results of Operations

Revenue

The Company’s recorded total revenue from operations for the year ended May 31, 2021, and for the period October 28, 2019 (inception) through May 31, 2020, in the amounts of $371.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively. This increase represents management’s success in combining the acquired entities, achievement of synergies, as well as significant increase in a number of customers, shipping volumes and the market prices, for both air and ocean freight services, during the year. Management is also projecting strong demand for international logistics services driven by a recovering US economy. The Company is in a strong position to deliver on its strategy, ensuring growth both organically and through acquisitions in strategic geographic areas of our business.

Costs and Operating Expenses

Costs and operating expenses were $368.4 million for the year ended May 31, 2021, compared with $1.5 million for the period October 28, 2019 (inception) through May 31, 2020. This increase in cost was attributable to a full year of operations with significant increase in volume. The Company maintained its historical gross margins for products and services and is anticipating to be able to maintain in the near term as it continues to grow its volume and customer base.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) is comprised of interest expense, gain on forgiveness of promissory notes and loss on extinguishment of convertible debt. During the year ended May 31, 2021, interest expense totaled approximately $1.8 million and was comprised of $121,000 for bank interest charges, $310,000 for loan interest and approximately $1.4 million for accretion of debt discount related to the Company’s convertible notes. The Company recorded loss on extinguishment of convertible note payable of approximately $1.1 million, In addition, during the year ended May 31, 2021, the Company was granted forgiveness of the Paycheck Protection Program loans under the CARES Act, (the “PPP Loan”) and recorded a gain on forgiveness of approximately $1.6 million.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income was $1.7 million for the year ended May 31, 2021, compared to a net loss of $409,000 for the period October 28, 2019 (inception) through May 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the period October 28, 2019 (inception) through May 31, 2020 were reflective of a newly formed business compared to full operations during the year ended May 31, 2021 when the Company’s management successfully combined the acquired entities, achieved synergies, and strategically grew new business during the year.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define adjusted EBITDA to be earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, factoring fees, other income, net, stock-based compensation and expenses, merger and acquisition costs, restructuring, transition and acquisitions expense, net, goodwill impairment and certain other items.

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the year ended May 31, 2021 increased by approximately $9.3 million compared to the period October 28, 2019 (inception) through May 31, 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. We present adjusted EBITDA because we believe that adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplement to net income from operations as an indicator of operating performance. We use adjusted EBITDA as a financial metric to measure the financial performance of the business because management believes it provides additional information with respect to the performance of its fundamental business activities. For this reason, we believe adjusted EBITDA will also be useful to others, including our stockholders, as a valuable financial metric.

We believe that adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure and not a liquidity measure, and therefore a reconciliation between net income from continuing operations and adjusted EBITDA has been provided in the financial results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to income from operations or net income from operations as an indicator of performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of cash flows, in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of liquidity. In addition, adjusted EBITDA does not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows. We do not intend the presentation of these non-GAAP measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Following is the reconciliation of our consolidated net income to adjusted EBITDA:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As a consequence of acquisition financing at inception, the Company experienced negative working capital and adverse cash flows from operations. As of May 31, 2021, the Company had cash of approximately $253,000, negative working capital of approximately $3.5 million and cash used in operations of approximately $162,000. This was a significant improvement from May 31, 2020, when its negative working capital was approximately $10.7 million.

The Company has financed its first year of operations primarily through the sale of convertible notes, PPP loans, promissory notes, and cash advances received from factoring arrangements. The negative working capital resulted primarily from increases to short term liabilities, such as trade accounts payable, PPP loans received, operating lease liability and current portion of a long-term debt incurred by the company during the acquisition. During its latest fiscal year, the Company paid down most of the acquisition related debt, received forgiveness of PPP loans and reached an agreement to exchange most of its convertible debt into common stocks. In addition, on August 4, 2021 the parties to the TBK Agreement entered into an agreement to increase the Company’s credit facility from $30 million to $40 million during the period August 4, 2021, through and including December 2, 2021.

The Company expects to turn its operating capital positive early in the upcoming fiscal year as we continue to invest in our network, products, customer development, sales and marketing activities. Management is fully aware that the Company’s business plan is dependent upon the generation of sufficient revenues from its products to offset expenses, increased cash flow from ongoing operations the collection of outstanding receivables and the restructuring of the current debt burden. Although the Company believes in the viability of management’s strategy to generate sufficient revenue, control costs and the ability to raise additional funds, if necessary, there can be no assurances to that effect. In the event that the Company does not generate sufficient cash flows from operations and is unable to obtain funding, the Company will be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate some or all of its discretionary spending, which could adversely affect the Company’s business prospects, ability to meet long-term liquidity needs or ability to continue operations. Based on the above analysis and business performance of the Company subsequent to the balance sheet date, management has concluded that the Company’s cash and operating capital as of May 31, 2021, would be sufficient to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date these consolidated financial statements are available for issuance.

The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working capital at May 31, 2021 compared to May 31, 2020:

The change in working capital deficit is primarily attributable to an increase in trade accounts receivable of $12,437,437, an increase of contract asset of $18,586,306, an increase in factoring reserve of $6,622,941, an increase in prepaid expenses of $669,787, a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $1,2365,301 and a decrease of $5,983,000 in the current portion of long-term debt due to related parties. These amounts were offset by a decrease in cash of $1,096,748, an increase in accounts payable – trade of $29,401,066, an increase in accrued freight of $6,926,050, an increase in the current portion of operating lease liabilities of $178,193 and an increase in the current portion of notes payable of $808,725.

Operating activities used cash of $161,906 for the year ended May 31, 2021 compared to net cash provided by operations of $1,562,052 for the period October 28, 2019 (inception) through May 31, 2020. Primary reason for cash used for the year ended May 31, 2021, was a significant increase in accounts receivables, reflecting extended credit terms, specifically as it relates to charter operations, where prepayments have to be made in advance of the upcoming flights. This cash outlays were balanced by a corresponding increase in accounts payable, reflecting company’s ability to finance operations through extended credit with diverse network of suppliers, partners and shipping companies.

Investing activities used cash of $51,489 for the year ended May 31, 2021 compared to $212,689 for the period October 28, 2019 (inception) through May 31, 2020. During the year ended May 31, 2021, investing activities consisted of purchasing computer equipment. During the period October 28, 2019 (inception) through May 31, 2020, investing activities consisted of net cash of $212,689 acquired in the acquisition of a business.

Financing activities used cash of $883,353 for the year ended May 31, 2021 and were the result of receiving aggregate gross proceeds of $5,174,902 from promissory notes and convertible notes. These proceeds were offset by payments on notes payable and related party debt of $858,330 and $5,149,925, respectively. In addition, the Company paid debt issuance costs of $50,000 in relation to the issuance of convertible notes.

Adoption of Recent Accounting Standards

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory”, which eliminates the exception that prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income tax effects for intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory until the asset has been sold to an outside party. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. The Company adopted the new standard on June 1, 2020. The adoption of the new standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, that simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. The Step 2 test requires an entity to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, an entity will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value determined in Step 1. This update also eliminates the qualitative assessment requirements for a reporting unit with zero or negative carrying value. The Company adopted the standard upon its inception.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”. This update is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by U.S. GAAP that is most important to users of each entity’s financial statements. The amendments in this update apply to all entities that are required, under existing U.S. GAAP, to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard on June 1, 2020 and the adoption of the new standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and has subsequently issued several amendments (collectively, “ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2106-13 adds to U.S. GAAP an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Earlier application is permitted only for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes (ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”). This guidance eliminates certain exceptions to the general approach to the income tax accounting model and adds new guidance to reduce the complexity in accounting for income taxes. This guidance is effective for annual periods after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06- Debt- ”Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”. This ASU amends the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity, and also improves and amends the related EPS guidance for both Subtopics. The ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within those annual periods and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Accounting policies, methods and estimates are an integral part of the condensed consolidated financial statements prepared by management and are based upon management’s current judgments. These judgments are normally based on knowledge and experience regarding past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting policies, methods and estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ from management’s current judgments. While there are a number of accounting policies, methods and estimates that affect our condensed consolidated financial statements, the areas that are particularly significant include revenue recognition; the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities; fair value of contingent consideration; the assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets; and leases.

We perform an impairment test of goodwill for each year unless events or circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred before that time. We assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount. After assessing qualitative factors, if further testing is necessary, we would determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare the fair value to the reporting unit’s carrying amount.

Intangible assets consist of customer relationships, trade names and trademarks and non-compete agreements arising from our acquisitions. Customer relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis over 12 to 15 years. Tradenames, trademarks and non-compete agreements, are amortized on a straight-line basis over 3 to 10 years.

We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset is less than its carrying amount, the asset is considered to be impaired. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, we estimate fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

For the year ended May 31, 2021 and the period from October 28, 2019 (inception) through May 31, 2020, the Company conducted its annual review of impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and no impairment was identified.

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our consolidated financial statements.

Effective April 28, 2021, we re-engaged Marcum as our new independent registered public accounting firm.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, the Company recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and we necessarily are required to apply our judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure and controls and procedures

As of May 31, 2021, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded based upon the evaluation described above that, as of May 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system is 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 all 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.

Internal control over financial reporting is defined, under the Exchange Act, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, 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 and includes those policies and procedures that:

The Company’s principal executive officers have assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2021. In making this assessment, the Company’s principal executive officers were guided by the releases issued by the SEC and to the extent applicable the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Update). The Company’s principal executive officers have concluded that based on their assessment, as of May 31, 2021, that our internal control over financial reporting were not effective and require remediation in order to be effective at the reasonable assurance level. Prior to the business combination, we have been a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources necessary for effective internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, our auditors identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting during the audit of the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal controls, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses identified relate to the fact that we did not design and maintain an effective control environment commensurate with our financial reporting requirements, including (a) lack of a sufficient number of trained professionals with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, training and experience. Management’s general assessment of the above processes in light of the company’s size, maturity and complexity, as to the design and effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting is that the key controls and procedures in each of these processes provide reasonable assurance regarding reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021, we actively addressed and remediated a number of previously identified material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting, we significantly improved our accounting processes, documentation, introduced new accounting policies and procedures, upgraded our accounting personnel and provided our employees with necessary tools and resources, but because we have not completed a full risk assessment of the internal controls over financial reporting at the activity level, including extensive process documentation and testing, we are not able to conclude that our internal controls over financial reporting are operating effectively and efficiently at this time. The Company’s principal executive officers and the board are fully committed to achieving full compliance by the end of the fiscal year ending May 31, 2022.

Readers are cautioned that internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even effective internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to the financial statement preparation and presentation.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the last quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Item 9B. Other Information.

No event occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021 or subsequent period that would have required disclosure in a report on Form 8-K.

UNIQUE LOGISTICS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

May 31, 2021

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of

Unique Logistics International, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Unique Logistics International, Inc. (the “Company”) as of May 31, 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of May 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.
