PART I

Item 1. Business.

Business Overview

Unique Logistics 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 Logistics purchases available cargo space in volume from its network of carriers (such as airlines, ocean shipping, and trucking lines) and resells that space to its 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 subsidiaries, Unique Logistics provides a range of international logistics services that enable its customers to outsource to the Company sections of their supply chain process. Our network of trained employees and integrated information systems seamlessly manage the services that we provide to our customers. 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.

Unique Logistics’ primary services include:

	●	Air freight services;

	●	Ocean freight services;

	●	Customs brokerage and compliance services;

	●	Warehousing and distribution services; and

	●	Order management.

Air Freight Services

Operating as an indirect air carrier or an airfreight consolidator, Unique Logistics 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 its expert staff for guidance with the physical movement of cargo and documentation compliance. Unique Logistics purchases cargo space from airlines on a volume basis and resells that space to its customers at a lower price than they would be able to negotiate themselves for their individual shipments. Through its integrated management system, the Company determines the best routing for shipments and then makes arrangements to receive the cargo into a designated warehouse. Upon receipt, we inspect and weigh the cargo, collect documentation, and process export clearance. Once cargo is cleared it is prepared for departure. Unique Logistics offers real-time tracking visibility for customers to view when an order is booked, departs, and arrives. Unique Logistics 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:

●

International, domestic, deferred, express and charter services, which permit customers to choose from a menu of different priority options that secure, at different price levels, greater assurance of timely delivery;

	●	Port to port and door to door shipments, which provide customers the option of managing, independently, the post-arrival services such as delivery or clearance if the Company is not providing such services;

	●	Global blocked space agreements, which guarantee the availability of space on certain flights;

	●	Air and ocean combination shipment, which offer cost effective transportation using multimodal, combination movements, by one mode to an international hub, such as Dubai, UAE or Singapore, and converting to a different mode at the hub;

	●	Air and transload dedicated truck shipment, where arriving cargo is transferred from airline container or pallet into a truckload ready for delivery;

	●	Dangerous goods handling requiring qualified handling; and

	●	Refrigerated cargo.

Our air freight customer base is comprised of importers in various industries including fashion retail, technology and general department stores merchandise importers. The majority of shipments originate in Asian manufacturing countries. Air freight is seasonal for fashion retailers, with the period July through December being much stronger than the remainder of the year. For technology companies, the seasonal impact is less pronounced.

The Company works with its international network to ensure air freight shipping capacity is secured and planned in advance to meet our customers’ requirements. We then make this capacity available to our customers at competitive prices and with the added security of availability, particularly during peak air freight shipping periods. We supplement scheduled capacity with full charter capacity to ensure that we meet customer capacity requirements throughout the year. While capacity management is critical to securing and maintaining air freight customers, the Company will try to quickly move to the position of offering additional primary services to our air freight customers.

The Company’s integrated management system is built around a cloud-based software package known as Cargo Wise. The software is accessible to our offices or overseas third party associates when planning and recording the receipt of cargo and booking shipments. The Cargo Wise system assists in the creation of documentation required to plan each shipment, including management information systems that enable our operational management teams to generate reports or provide access to information to our customers so that they have daily visibility to their purchased orders. This enables shipments to be approved, planned, and routed within the available air freight capacity procured by the Company. The Cargo Wise software is part of the integrated management system that also incorporates (in some cases with interface) airline resources, congestion/market condition information, pricing databases, customer preferences in key account management databases and the trained personnel and experienced managers that make decisions as required based on the information.

Ocean Freight Services

Operating as an ocean transportation intermediary 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:

	●	Selecting the most optimal ocean carriers based on both cost and service. The Company has NVOCC contracts with multiple ocean carriers and is thus able to offer its customers a choice in service;

	●	Entering into contract/rate agreement with clients to transport their ocean shipments. Under such contracts the customer is assured of the Company’s pricing and weekly capacity to carry the customer’s cargo;

	●	Consolidating shipments at origin/deconsolidating of freight at destination. This enables the customer to receive the economics of a consolidated container rate rather than a higher rate for less than full container load. It also makes delivery at destination more efficient;

	●	Arranging pick-up of shipment at origin and deliver at destination, with a factory to door service;

	●	Preparing and processing the documentation/clearance (customs/security) for shipments during ocean transit, in advance of arrival of shipment at destination;

	●	Providing ocean freight services in both major and minor trade lanes with representation in all trading nations in Americas, Asia, and Europe;

	●	Offering a wide array of services typically performed by multiple services providers including, but not limited to, offering options to customers on ocean carrier service choices prior to final selection and securing such space based on customer requirement; this enables our customers to delegate more of their logistics management to us whereas a more limited range of service would require the customer to deal with multiple service providers;

	●	Communicating on any regulation/compliance issues on exporting and importing shipments;

	●	Playing an intermediary role at any point of ocean transportation based on a customer’s routing preferences; and

	●	Providing space acquisition on carrier service for committed delivery during high demand periods and providing a lower-price option in weak demand season for the greatest possible cost saving.

Some of the major industry sectors we serve in connection with our ocean freight services are home products and appliances, furniture, automotive, giftware and fashion. Our customers include retailers as well as wholesale importers. Our volumes enable us to enter into significant contracts with shipping lines to lock in capacity at prices that enable us to secure and retain customers.

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 increasing trade tensions and various tariffs imposed as a result. Unique Logistics also offers importers tools to improve efficiency such as reporting, visibility and trade consulting, including training seminars. Our additional services include:

	●	Preparation of the Import Security Filing (10+2) required to be on file 24 hours prior to shipment departure;

	●	Clearance and compliance with other government agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Consumer Product Safety Commission and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service;

	●	Focused assessment and internal audit to determine and eliminate weak areas of compliance;

	●	Post-entry service to change past entries and take advantage of tariff exclusions granted after the original entry was processed;

	●	Binding rulings to obtain pre-entry classification;

	●	Classification and valuation;

	●	Trade agreements;

	●	Warehouse entries to defer duty;

	●	Licensing and country of origin marking requirements;

	●	Free Trade Zone;

	●	Duty drawback to get duty back on items exported under certain requirements; and

	●	Cargo insurance coverage.

Warehousing and Distribution Services

Unique Logistics operates a warehousing facility in Santa Fe Springs, California, and plans to expand such services through its own managed facilities. We lease this facility, which is 110,000 sq. ft. with storage capacity for approximately 9,000 pallets and 10 dedicated employees. Unique Logistics also provides warehousing and distribution services through third party facilities.

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 warehousing and distribution services include:

	●	Transloading of cargo from incoming containers to trucks for delivery;

	●	Pick and pack services;

	●	Quality control services under customer instructions;

	●	Kitting;

	●	Storage;

	●	Inventory management; and

	●	Delivery services, including e-commerce fulfillment services.

Warehousing and distribution is a higher-margin business than air freight or ocean freight. In the case of freight service, we are primarily re-selling capacity while in warehousing and distribution we are offering services based on fixed space cost, fixed staffing and equipment cost and relatively smaller variable labor and equipment cost. The customer base includes freight customers with warehousing and distribution needs as well as customers who are exclusively warehousing and distribution service users. Such customers are in a variety of industries, including footwear, apparel, giftware, and home appliances. We bill customers under three broad categories - storage, transloading (with quick turnaround and no storage) and other warehouse services listed above. The location of our existing warehouse, within 15 miles of the Port of Los Angeles/Long Beach and 20 miles from Los Angeles Airport, is an important factor for our customers. Racking as well as bulk storage space availability enables us to handle a variety of customer requirements. In recent years, severe congestion at the terminals serving the Port of Los Angeles/Long Beach has increased the demand for transloading as well as short-term storage services at warehouses such as ours that are within a 50-mile radius of the port.

This warehouse facility is the only such facility that we currently operate. We believe, however, that warehousing, and distribution is an important opportunity for our business expansion.

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. 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, tracking order status, and managing delivery to their end-consumer.

Our order management services include the following features:

	●	Importer and vendor Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) integration;

	●	Key milestone notifications customized per importers’ requirements;

	●	Vendor, booking and document management;

	●	Customized reporting including exception reporting for maximum efficiency;

	●	Consolidation management; and

	●	Tracking visibility in real time.

Other benefits include:

	●	Single data platform.

	●	Avoids a manual booking process.

	●	Eliminates unnecessary data entry.

	●	Document visibility and historical recordkeeping.

	●	Vendor key performance indicators (KPI) management.

	●	Live milestone updates.

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 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, which are persons or entities within the United States, not in possession of a Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) air carrier operating certificate, that 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:

	●	Trained, experienced staff with knowledge of those areas of the world where customers are likely to require problem solving abilities.

	●	Trained, experienced staff with knowledge of the various supply chain segments: air, ocean, customs, warehousing and information technology integration.

	●	Responsive customer service and the ability to meet our customers’ needs with people at the front of well-established processes.

Our customer base includes companies in a wide range of industries. Some of the major industry sectors we serve are home products and appliances, furniture, fashion retail, automotive and technology. We aim to provide a wide range of services to each customer and cross sell all of our primary services.

Ocean freight services and air freight services are the most significant revenue drivers for the Company. To distinguish our service offerings from our competitors, our primary focus is on capacity management for these services. Our volumes enable us to enter significant contracts with shipping lines to lock in capacity at prices that enable us to secure and retain customers. Similarly, our air freight capacity strategy includes rate/space agreements with scheduled airlines as well as a full air cargo charter program under which we are able to lock in capacity for our customers at contracted rates.

While capacity management is critical to establishing relations with new customers and securing existing ones, it is essential for the Company to expand its range of services to each customer. Our customer support teams work with each customer to identify the areas, such as customs brokerage, warehousing and distribution and order management, where our service offerings may create additional value-added opportunities within the customer’s supply chain.

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. There are no guarantees, however, that these trends will continue. 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. As 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 the following key areas: (i) organic growth and expansion in existing markets; (ii) strategic acquisitions; (iii) warehousing and distribution; (iv) growth of business on the Trans-Atlantic and Latin American trade lanes; and (v) specialized services to United States companies on their overseas logistics needs in conjunction with the export and distribution of products in certain Asian markets such as India, Vietnam and China.

Organic Growth and Expansion in Existing Markets

We plan to focus on developing business domestically to drive organic growth. Since our initial formation and combination, we have significantly improved our operating efficiencies in the areas of procurement, customer service, finance, and administration. We have achieved this by consolidating our volumes, centralizing many of the functions previously handled separately by individual operating subsidiaries, and rationalizing our organizational structure, including hiring and empowering experienced executives in critical positions including the hiring of a full time Chief Operating Officer. We believe that this has resulted in much lower overhead and the ability to build a uniform marketing strategy to build market share and further Unique Logistics’ brand recognition 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 this 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 the customer and the customer’s consumer.

We believe that we can expand Unique Logistics’ business base, which includes three out of the 50 largest importers in the United States, by building our sales organization and the support organization to successfully deliver our brand of service.

Strategic Acquisitions

On February 21, 2023, the Company acquired all of the share capital (the “Purchased Shares”) owned by Unique Logistics Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“ULHK”), in eight subsidiaries (the “ULHK Entities”) for $26.5 million, provided that the acquisition of the Purchased Shares in each of Unique Logistics International Co., Ltd (“Unique-Taiwan”) and Unique Logistics International (Vietnam) Co., Ltd. (“Unique-Vietnam”) were subject to receipt of all required governmental approvals in Taiwan and Vietnam, respectively, and the Company’s acquisition of the Purchased Shares in those entities would therefore not officially close until after such approvals were obtained. (the “ULHK Entities Acquisition”). We obtained the required Taiwan approvals on June 1, 2023, and closed on our acquisition of the Purchased Shares in Unique-Taiwan on October 1, 2023. The Company has not yet received the required approvals in Vietnam.

At the closing of the ULHK Entities Acquisition, the Company paid $3.5 million in cash and issued promissory notes to ULHK totalling $23.0 million to purchase the Purchased Shares. Approximately $11.1 million of such promissory notes remain outstanding.

As a result of consummation of the ULHK Entities Acquisition, the Company became a party to certain agreements with the remaining stockholders of each of three of the eight ULHK Entities (Equity Investments), one located in the United Kingdom and two located in China. Each of the stockholder agreements contains restrictive negative covenants favouring the protection of the minority stockholders party thereto. The stockholder agreements require unanimous written consent of all stockholders in the applicable ULHK Entity in order for the ULHK Entity to, among other things: (i) adopt a business plan or materially change its business; (ii) change its name or amend its organizational/governing documents; (iii) issue or create any new shares, alter the rights associated with any class of equity, consolidate, sub-divide or convert any of its equity or capital, or issue securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of the ULHK Entity; (iv) enter into a merger, amalgamation, or similar transaction, acquire ownership interests in any equity or capital of any other company or undertaking, or enter into any partnership or enter into any profit-sharing agreement other than in ordinary course of business; and (v) wind up, dissolve, or otherwise terminate its existence.

Simultaneously with the closing of the ULHK Entities Acquisition, the Company purchased the remaining 458,370 shares of the ULHK Entity located in India that were owned by Frangipani Trade Services, Inc. (“FTS”), which resulted in the Company owning all of the share capital of this ULHK Entity, pursuant to a separate Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and FTS. FTS is owned by the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. In consideration for the shares, the Company issued a promissory note to FTS in the principal amount of $500,000, bearing no interest and with a maturity date of February 21, 2025.

On August 1, 2024, the Company acquired all of the share capital owned by ULHK in Unique Logistics International (Sin) Pte Ltd. (“Unique Singapore”) pursuant to a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement between the Company and ULHK. Pursuant to the Share Sale and Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for the shares was $2,150,000, including the Company’s assumption of $1,800,000 of indebtedness owed to ULHK by Unique Singapore and $350,000 in cash. The Company issued to ULHK a promissory note in the principal amount of $1,800,000 upon closing of the acquisition and the parties are negotiating with respect to the Company’s issuance of a second promissory note to ULHK to cover the additional $350,000 portion of the purchase price. The principal amount under the promissory note is due in full on August 1, 2026, with interest accruing at an annual rate of 15%, payable semi-annually.

Warehousing and Distribution

Unique Logistics has a major warehousing facility in Santa Fe Springs, California and in-house 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 U.S. Companies in Overseas Markets

Unique Logistics has several decades of experience in Asian markets such as India, Vietnam and China. Unique Logistics is constantly interacting with a United States customer base that seeks to do business in these areas but requires 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 continue to build on our expertise in these three specific countries to build tailored services to U.S. 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 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 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 Agency of the Department of Homeland Security, 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 U.S. Customs and Border Protection. 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. The regulations of foreign governments, however, 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 that seek to minimize waste and prevent pollution within our operations.

Employees and Human Capital

As of May 31, 2024, the Company had 113 employees including 109 full-time 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.

Insurance

The Company effectively maintains all industry-specific and business in general insurance policies and believes that it has appropriately addressed the potential risk of material losses. We currently have the following policies in place:

	●	US Customs Bonds

	●	Federal Maritime Commission License Bonds

	●	Business Insurance

	●	General Liability

	●	Commercial Property (including Business Personal Property and Business Income with Extra Expense)

	●	Business Auto

	●	Commercial Umbrella

	●	Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability

	●	Employment Practices Liability Insurance

	●	Trade Credit Insurance

	●	Cyber Security

	●	Directors and Officers

	●	Combined Transit Liability

	●	Errors and Omissions

	●	Warehouse Legal Liability

	●	Marine Open Cargo Insurance

From time to time, the Company may also purchase credit insurance for certain customers, resulting in the risk of loss being limited to the accounts receivable not covered by credit insurance, which the Company does not believe to be significant.

Other Recent Developments – Termination of Agreement and Plan of Merger with Edify Acquisition Corp.

On December 18, 2022, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Edify Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Edify”), and Edify Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Edify (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which the Company was to be merged with and into Merger Sub, with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Edify.

On March 10, 2023, in connection with the Merger Agreement and in order to finance the ULHK Entities Acquisition, Unique Logistics and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors entered into a financing agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) and related fee letter with the lenders party thereto, CB Agent Services LLC, as origination agent, and Alter Domus (US) LLC, as collateral agent and administrative agent. The Financing Agreement provided for an initial senior secured term loan in a principal amount of approximately $4.2 million and a delayed draw term loan facility in principal amount of approximately $14.8 million.

The Company, Edify and Merger Sub entered into a mutual termination agreement dated as of March 1, 2024, pursuant to which they mutually agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement effective as of such date.

In connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement, effective March 1, 2024, the parties to the Financing Agreement entered into a waiver and amendment no. 2 to financing agreement (the “Second Waiver”), whereby (i) the lenders, CB Agent Services and Alter Domus agreed to waive certain events of default set forth in the Financing Agreement and interest at an increased rate related to the specified events of default from the date such event(s) occurred through the March 1, 2024 effective date of the Second Waiver and (ii) the Company and its subsidiary guarantors agreed to (A) pay the administrative agent a non-refundable waiver fee in an aggregate amount of $3,000,000 and (B) issue the origination agent or its designee warrants entitling the holder thereof to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the greater of (1) 7% of enterprise value (as calculated in a manner to be mutually agreed and acceptable to the origination agent and the Company on a fully diluted basis) and (2) $7,000,000, on terms, conditions and in a form reasonably acceptable to the origination agent, and having an exercise price of $0.01 per share (collectively, the “Warrants”).

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 Unique Logistics’ Industry and Business Environment

Unique Logistics’ dependence on third-party service providers may adversely impact the delivery and quality of its services, and as a result its business and operating results.

As a non-asset based provider of global logistics services, Unique Logistics depends on a variety of asset-based service providers, including air, ocean and ground freight carriers, to provide equipment and services necessary to operate its business. The quality and profitability of Unique Logistics’ services depend upon effective selection and oversight of its service providers, and therefore its dependence on third parties may impact the delivery and quality of its transportation and logistics services. Such third parties may not fulfill their obligations to Unique Logistics, or Unique Logistics’ relationship with these parties may change, which may prevent it from meeting its commitments to its customers. In addition, if Unique Logistics is unable to secure sufficient equipment or other transportation services from third parties to meet its commitments to its customers, its operating results could be materially and adversely affected, and its customers could switch to using its competitors, either temporarily or permanently, for their transportation logistics needs. Many of these risks are beyond Unique Logistics’ control, including:

	●	shortages in available cargo capacity or availability and continuing industry consolidation among ocean freight carriers, or changes in the financial stability or operating capabilities of carriers;

	●	changes by carriers and transportation companies in policies and practices such as scheduling, pricing, payment terms and frequency of service;

	●	changes in regulations impacting transportation;

	●	disruptions in the supply or cost of fuel;

	●	increases in taxes or the cost of labor;

	●	the introduction of alternative means of transporting freight; and

	●	unanticipated changes in freight markets.

In addition, any determination that Unique Logistics’ third-party carriers have violated laws and regulations could seriously damage its reputation and brand, resulting in diminished revenue and profit and increased operating costs.

Further, when market demand significantly exceeds available capacity in a given market, which was, for example, the case for various services and markets in 2021 during the post-COVID market recovery, Unique Logistics may not always be able to find acceptable transportation or other service solutions to meet its customers’ needs or the routing and delivery of freight may be subject to delays that are outside of its control.

If any of these risks occur, it could have a material adverse effect on Unique Logistics’ business, results of operations and financial condition.

Economic recessions and other factors that reduce freight volumes could have a material adverse impact on Unique Logistics’ business.

The transportation industry historically has experienced cyclical fluctuations in financial results due to economic recessions, downturns in business cycles of customers, interest rate fluctuations, currency fluctuations, inflation pressures, and other economic factors beyond Unique Logistics’ control. Deterioration in the economic environment subjects Unique Logistics’ business to various risks that may have a material impact on its operating results and cause it to not reach its long-term growth goals, including the following:

	●	Decrease in volumes: a reduction in overall freight volumes in the marketplace could reduce Unique Logistics’ opportunities for growth. In addition, if a downturn in Unique Logistics’ customers’ business cycles causes a reduction in the volume of freight shipped by those customers, its operating results could be adversely affected;

	●	Credit risk and working capital: some of Unique Logistics’ customers may face economic difficulties and may not be able to pay their dues to Unique Logistics, and some may go out of business. In addition, some customers may not pay Unique Logistics as quickly as they have in the past, which could cause its working capital needs to increase;

	●	Transportation provider failures: a significant number of Unique Logistics’ transportation providers may go out of business and it may be unable to secure sufficient equipment or other transportation services to meet its commitments to its customers; and

	●	Expense management: Unique Logistics may not be able to appropriately adjust its expenses to changing market demands. In order to maintain high variability in Unique Logistics’ business model, it is necessary to adjust staffing levels to changing market demands. In periods of rapid change, it is more difficult to match Unique Logistics’ staffing level to its business needs. In addition, Unique Logistics has other primarily variable expenses that are fixed for a period of time, and it may not be able to adequately adjust them in a period of rapid change in market demand.

In addition, volatile market conditions can create situations where rate increases charged by carriers and other service providers are implemented with little or no advance notice. Unique Logistics often cannot pass these rate increases on to its customers in the same timeframe, if at all, which could negatively impact Unique Logistics’ yields and margins.

Higher carrier prices may result in decreased gross profit margin and increases in working capital.

Carriers can be expected to charge higher prices if market conditions warrant, including increased costs of fuel, labor shortages, increased shipping times due to supply chain disruption or in order to cover higher operating costs. Unique Logistics’ gross profits and income from operations may decrease if it is unable to pass these cost increases on to its customers. In some instances where Unique Logistics has entered into contract freight rates with customers, if market conditions change and those contracted rates are below market rates, it may be required to provide transportation services at a loss.

Climate change, including measures to address climate change, could adversely impact Unique Logistics’ business and financial results.

The long-term effects of climate change are difficult to predict and may be widespread. The potential impacts of climate change may subject Unique Logistics and its business to various risks, including physical risks (such as rising sea levels, which could affect port operations or frequency and severity of extreme weather conditions, which could disrupt its operations and damage cargo and its facilities), compliance costs and transition risks (such as increased regulation and taxation to support carbon emissions reduction investments), reputational and strategic risks due to shifts in customer demands (such as customers requiring more fuel-efficient transportation modes or transparency to carbon emissions in their supply chains), customer contractual requirements around environmental initiatives, and other adverse effects. While Unique Logistics’ non-asset-based model gives it some flexibility and ability to change locations, modes, and carriers based on evolving operating conditions, such impacts may disrupt its operations by adversely affecting its ability to procure services that meet regulatory or customer requirements, depending on the availability of sufficient appropriate logistics solutions, and may negatively affect its results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Further, there is no assurance that alternative locations, modes, and carriers that are not so affected will be available or have adequate capacity.

In addition, the increasing public and political concern over climate change has resulted and may continue to result in more legal or regulatory requirements relating to climate change, including regulating greenhouse gas emissions, restrictions on modes of transportation, alternative energy policies, and sustainability initiatives. If legislation or regulations are enacted or promulgated in any jurisdictions in which Unique Logistics operates, that impose more stringent restrictions and requirements than its current legal or regulatory obligations, Unique Logistics may experience disruptions in, or increases in the costs associated with delivering, its services, which may negatively affect its operations, operating results, cash flows, and financial condition.

Unique Logistics operates in a competitive environment.

Competition in the transportation services industry is intense and Unique Logistics expects it to remain so for the foreseeable future. Many of Unique Logistics’ competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, more employees, and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, public relations and distribution resources than Unique Logistics does. The competitive environment may reduce Unique Logistics’ market opportunity and require it to make changes in its pricing or marketing to maintain and extend its current brand and market position. Price concessions or the emergence of other pricing or distribution strategies of competitors may diminish Unique Logistics’ revenues, impact its margins, or lead to a reduction in its market share, any of which will harm Unique Logistics’ business, prospects, and results of operations.

Unique Logistics’ earnings may be affected by seasonal changes in the transportation industry.

Results of operations for Unique Logistics’ 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 (which, based on its fiscal year-end of May 31, occurs during Unique Logistics’ third and fourth fiscal quarters) than in the other three quarters. Unique Logistics believes that 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 Unique Logistics’ cash flow or results of operations, Unique Logistics expects this trend to continue and it cannot guarantee that the seasonal changes will not adversely impact it in the future. The transportation industry may also be significantly impacted by disruptions such as port congestion and the availability of transportation equipment, as well as factors such as labor shortages, fuel prices, shifts in consumer demand toward more locally sourced products, and regulatory changes. These disruptions may impact the growth rates within the global logistics industry and Unique Logistics’ ability to provide transportation services for its customers, each of which may adversely impact its results of operations and operating cash flows.

Risks Related to Unique Logistics and its Operations

Unique Logistics relies on technology to operate its business.

Unique Logistics’ continued success is dependent on its systems continuing to operate and to meet the changing needs of its customers and users. The continued automation of existing processes and usage of third-party technology and cloud network capacity will require adaptation and adjustments that may increase Unique Logistics’ exposure to cybersecurity risks and system availability reliance. Unique Logistics relies on its technology staff and vendors to successfully implement changes to and maintain its operating systems in an efficient manner. If it fails to maintain, protect, update, and enhance its operating systems, Unique Logistics 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 Unique Logistics’ systems in the past, and may occur on Unique Logistics’ systems in the future. Previous attacks on Unique Logistics’ systems have not had a material financial impact on its operations, but Unique Logistics cannot guarantee that future attacks will have little to no impact on its 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 Unique Logistics’ systems and technical infrastructure to the satisfaction of its users may harm Unique Logistics’ reputation, impair its ability to retain existing customers or attract new customers, and expose it to legal claims and government action, each of which could have a material adverse impact on Unique Logistics’ financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.

Difficulty in forecasting timing or volumes of customer shipments or rate changes by carriers could adversely impact Unique Logistics’ margins and operating results.

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

A significant portion of Unique Logistics’ 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 shipping schedules. Therefore, the timing of Unique Logistics’ revenues is, to a large degree, impacted by factors out of its control, such as a sudden change in consumer demand for retail goods, changes in trade tariffs, labor disruptions at ports, airports, terminals and rail, 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, Unique Logistics may not learn of a shortfall in revenues until late in a quarter. To the extent that Unique Logistics’ did not expect a shortfall in revenues or earnings, any such shortfall could have an immediate and adverse effect on the trading price of Unique Logistics Shares.

Volatile market conditions, such as those following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, can create situations where carriers and other service providers implement rate increases with little or no advance notice. Unique Logistics often cannot pass these rate increases on to its customers in the same time frame, if at all. As a result, Unique Logistics’ yields and margins have been and may in the future be negatively impacted by the effects of volatile market conditions.

Any reduction in international commerce or disruption in global trade may adversely impact Unique Logistics’ business and operating results.

Unique Logistics provides services primarily to customers engaged in international commerce. As a result, everything that affects international trade has the potential to impact Unique Logistics’ business and adversely impact its operating results. Factors that influence international trade, which are outside of Unique Logistics’ control, include the following:

	●	currency exchange rates and currency control regulations;

	●	interest rate fluctuations;

	●	changes and uncertainties in governmental policies and inter-governmental disputes, which could result in increased tariff rates, quota restrictions, trade barriers, and other restrictions;

	●	changes in and application of international and domestic customs, trade, and security regulations;

	●	wars, strikes, civil unrest, acts of terrorism, and other conflicts;

	●	changes in labor and other costs;

	●	labor disruptions at ports, airports, terminals and rail;

	●	natural disasters and epidemics, pandemics, and other health emergencies;

	●	changes in consumer attitudes regarding goods made in countries other than their own;

	●	changes in the availability of credit;

	●	changes in the price and readily available quantities of oil and other petroleum-related products; and

	●	increased global concerns regarding working conditions and environmental sustainability.

The implementation of Unique Logistics’ business strategy will require significant capital expenditures and additional financing.

The implementation of Unique Logistics’ business strategy, including with respect to growth, will require significant expenditures of capital as well as additional financing and risks associated with interest rates. Unique Logistics may seek additional funds through equity or debt financings. Unique Logistics cannot offer any assurances that any such financings will be obtained on favorable terms, or at all. Equity financings could result in dilution to existing stockholders and debt financing could result in the imposition of significant financial and operational restrictions on Unique Logistics. Unique Logistics’ inability to access adequate capital on acceptable terms could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, results of operations, and financial condition.

Unique Logistics derives a significant portion of its revenues from a small number of customers.

Revenue from three major customers as a percentage of the Company’s total revenue was 25.0% and 19.0%, respectively, for the years ended May 31, 2024 and 2023. One customer represented 11% of 2024 revenues and no single customer represented more than 10.0% of total 2023 revenues.

The loss of one or more of these customers would reduce Unique Logistics’ revenue and net income to the extent where this loss would have a material adverse effect on its business and operating results.

Unique Logistics may not successfully manage its growth.

Unique Logistics intends to continue to grow rapidly and substantially, including by organic growth and expansion in existing markets, by making strategic acquisitions and by entering new markets. Unique Logistics may experience difficulties and higher-than-expected expenses in executing this strategy as a result of, among other things, unfamiliarity with new markets and changes in revenue and business models.

Unique Logistics’ growth will place a significant strain on its management as well as its operational and financial resources. Unique Logistics will need to continually improve existing procedures and controls as well as implement new transaction processing, operational and financial systems, and procedures and controls to expand, train and manage its employee base. Unique Logistics’ working capital needs will increase substantially as its operations grow. Failure to manage growth effectively, or obtain necessary working capital, could have a material adverse effect on Unique Logistics’ business, results of operations, cash flows, stock price, and financial condition.

Governmental, Regulatory, and Legal Risks

Unique Logistics is subject to a complex regulatory environment, and failure to comply with and adapt to these regulations could result in penalties or otherwise adversely impact its business.

Unique Logistics’ business is affected by ever-increasing regulations from a number of sources in the United States and in foreign locations in which it operates. 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 require changes in Unique Logistics’ operating practices, influence the demand for, and the cost of providing, transportation services, and result in other unforeseen costs.

For example, in response to ongoing security threats, 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 an industry’s realistic ability to comply.

Failure to consistently and timely comply with any applicable regulations, or the failure, breach or compromise of Unique Logistics’ policies and procedures or those of Unique Logistics’ service providers or agents, may result in increased operating costs, damage to Unique Logistics’ reputation, difficulty in attracting and retaining key personnel, restrictions on Unique Logistics’ operations, and/or fines and penalties. Further, Unique Logistics cannot predict the impact that future regulations may have on its business, and there can be no assurance that it will be able to pass on any increased costs resulting from new or changing regulations on to its customers in the form of rate increases or surcharges, and therefore its operations, revenues, and profitability may be materially and adversely affected as a result.

Unique Logistics’ contracted transportation providers are subject to increasingly stringent laws protecting the environment, including transitional risks relating to climate change, which could directly or indirectly have a material adverse effect on Unique Logistics’ business.

Future and existing environmental regulatory requirements, including evolving transportation technology, in the United States and abroad could adversely affect operations and increase operating expenses, which in turn could increase Unique Logistics’ purchased transportation costs. Unique Logistics may also incur expenses as a result of regulators requiring additional climate-related disclosures regarding its contracted transportation providers that may be labor-intensive to report on. Until the timing, scope, and extent of such possible regulation becomes known, Unique Logistics cannot predict its effect on its business, but if Unique Logistics is unable to pass such costs along to its customers, its business could be materially and adversely affected. Even without any new legislation or regulation, increased public concern regarding greenhouse gas emissions by transportation carriers could harm the reputations of companies operating in the transportation and logistics industries and shift consumer demand toward more locally-sourced products and away from the services that Unique Logistics provides.

Unique Logistics’ international operations subject it to operational, financial, and data privacy risks.

Unique Logistics provides services within and between foreign countries on an increasing basis. Unique Logistics’ business outside of the United States is subject to various risks, including:

	●	changes in tariffs, trade restrictions, trade agreements, and taxation;

	●	difficulties in managing or overseeing foreign operations and agents;

	●	limitations on the repatriation of funds because of foreign exchange controls;

	●	different liability standards;

	●	intellectual property laws of countries that do not protect Unique Logistics’ rights in its intellectual property, including, but not limited to, Unique Logistics’ proprietary information systems, to the same extent as the laws of the United States;

	●	issues related to non-compliance with laws, rules, and regulations in the countries in which Unique Logistics operates, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar regulations. Failure to comply could result in reputational harm, substantial penalties, and operational restrictions; and.

	●	global laws and regulations regarding the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal information may impact our services by imposing restrictions on processing, increase legal claim liability and increase regulatory scrutiny and fines. These requirements continue to evolve and vary by region and regime, which increases the risk of noncompliance and impacts operations, including additional expenses and resources necessary to ensure and manage compliant operations.

The occurrence or consequences of any of these risks may restrict Unique Logistics’ ability to operate in the affected region and/or decrease the profitability of its operations in that region.

As Unique Logistics continues to expand its business internationally, it is exposed 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 Unique Logistics’ assets and liabilities. Furthermore, Unique Logistics may experience unanticipated changes to its income tax liabilities resulting from changes in geographical income mix and changing international tax legislation. Unique Logistics has limited control over these risks, and if it does not correctly anticipate changes in international economic and political conditions, it may not alter its business practices in time to avoid adverse effects.

We use, and may continue to expand our use of, machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies to deliver our services and operate our business.

If we fail to successfully integrate artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies into our platform and business processes, or if we fail to keep pace with rapidly evolving AI technological developments, including attracting and retaining talented AI developers and programmers, we may face a competitive disadvantage. At the same time, the use or offering of AI technologies may result in new or expanded risks and liabilities, including enhanced government or regulatory scrutiny, litigation, compliance issues, ethical concerns, confidentiality, reputational harm, and security risks. It is not possible to predict all of the risks related to the use of AI and changes in laws, rules, directives, and regulations governing the use of AI may adversely affect our ability to develop and use AI or subject us to legal liability. The cost of complying with laws and regulations governing AI could be significant and would increase our operating expenses, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, market demand and acceptance of AI technologies are uncertain, and we may be unsuccessful in efforts to further incorporate AI into our processes.

Investigations and litigation could require management time and or incur substantial legal costs or fines, penalties or damages, any of which could adversely impact on Unique Logistics’ financial results.

As a multinational corporation, Unique Logistics is subject to formal or informal investigations from governmental authorities or others in the countries in which it does business. In addition, Unique Logistics may become subject to civil litigation with its customers, service providers and other parties with whom it does business. These investigations and litigation may require significant management time and could cause Unique Logistics to incur substantial additional legal and related costs, which may include fines, penalties or damages that could have a materially adverse impact on its financial results.

Risks Related to Unique Logistics’ Acquisition Strategy

Unique Logistics’ past acquisitions, as well as any acquisitions that Unique Logistics may complete in the future, may be unsuccessful or result in other risks or developments that adversely affect Unique Logistics’ financial condition and results.

While it intends for its acquisitions to enhance its competitiveness and profitability, Unique Logistics cannot be certain that its past or future acquisitions will be accretive to earnings or otherwise meet its 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 integrating acquired businesses, possible management distractions, or the inability of the acquired business to achieve the levels of revenue, profit, productivity or synergies Unique Logistics anticipates or otherwise perform as Unique Logistics expects on the timeline contemplated. Unique Logistics is unable to predict all of the risks that could arise as a result of its acquisitions.

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

Unique Logistics may incur risks related to acquisition financing.

Unique Logistics has a limited amount of financial resources and its ability to make additional acquisitions without securing additional financing from outside sources is limited. In order to continue to pursue its acquisition strategy, Unique Logistics may be required to obtain additional financing. Unique Logistics may obtain such financing through a combination of traditional debt financing, the placement of debt and equity securities, or financing in exchange for accounts receivable, as under Unique Logistics’ current revolving credit facility. Unique Logistics may finance some portion of its future acquisitions by either issuing equity or by using shares of Common Stock for all or a portion of the purchase price for such businesses. In the event that the Common Stock does not attain or maintain a sufficient market value, or potential acquisition candidates are otherwise unwilling to accept shares of Common Stock as part of the purchase price for the sale of their businesses, Unique Logistics may be required to use more of its cash resources, if available, in order to fund its acquisitions. If Unique Logistics does not have sufficient cash resources, it will not be able to complete acquisitions and its growth could be limited unless it is able to obtain additional capital through debt or equity financing. The terms of the Financing Agreement require that the Company obtain the consent of its lenders prior to securing additional debt financing. As a result, Unique Logistics’ ability to obtain additional debt financing could be constrained if it is unable to secure such consent.

Unique Logistics may be required to incur a significant amount of indebtedness in order to successfully implement its acquisition strategy.

Subject to the restrictions contained under the Financing Agreement, Unique Logistics may be required to incur a significant amount of indebtedness in order to complete future acquisitions. If it is not able to generate sufficient cash flow from the operations of acquired businesses to make scheduled payments of principal and interest on any such indebtedness, then Unique Logistics will be required to use its capital for such payments. This will restrict Unique Logistics’ ability to make additional acquisitions. Unique Logistics may also be forced to sell an acquired business in order to satisfy indebtedness. Unique Logistics cannot be certain that it will be able to operate profitably once it incurs any such indebtedness or that it will be able to generate a sufficient amount of proceeds from the ultimate disposition of such acquired businesses to repay any indebtedness that it incurred to make such acquisitions.

Unique Logistics may experience difficulties integrating the operations, personnel, and assets of acquired businesses that may disrupt its business, dilute stockholder value, and adversely affect its operating results.

A core component of Unique Logistics’ business plan is to continue to acquire businesses in the transportation and logistics industry. There can be no assurance that Unique Logistics will be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage businesses or successfully integrate acquired businesses into its existing business without substantial costs, delays, or other operational or financial problems. Such acquisitions also involve numerous operational risks, including:

●	difficulties integrating operations, technologies, services and personnel;

●	the diversion of financial and management resources from existing operations;

●	the risk of entering new markets;

●	the potential loss of existing or acquired strategic operating partners following an acquisition;

●	the potential loss of key employees following an acquisition and the associated risk of competitive efforts from such departed personnel;

●	possible legal disputes with the acquired company following an acquisition; and

●	the inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset acquisition or investment costs.

As a result, if Unique Logistics fails to properly evaluate and execute any acquisitions or investments, its business and prospects may be seriously harmed.

In certain acquisitions, Unique Logistics may recognize non-cash gains or losses on changes in fair value of contingent consideration. Unique Logistics may include contingent consideration based on future financial performance as a portion of the purchase price of certain acquisitions. To the extent that an acquired operation underperforms relative to anticipated earnings levels, Unique Logistics will be able to set-off certain levels of future unpaid purchase price for such acquired operations. This will result in the recognition of a non-cash gain on the change in fair value of contingent consideration. In the alternative, to the extent that an acquired operation outperforms anticipated earnings levels, Unique Logistics will recognize a non-cash expense on the change in fair value of contingent consideration. These non-cash gains and expenses may have a material impact on Unique Logistics’ financial results, and the impact could be inverse to the underlying results of the acquired operation.

Claims against Unique Logistics or other liabilities it incurs relating to any acquisition or business combination may require it to seek claims against the seller for which the seller may not indemnify it or that may exceed the seller’s indemnification obligations.

There may be liabilities that Unique Logistics assumes in any acquisition or business combination that it did not discover or underestimated in the course of performing its due diligence investigation. A seller will normally have indemnification obligations to Unique Logistics under an acquisition or merger agreement, but these obligations will be subject to financial limitations, such as general deductibles and a cap, as well as time limitations. There can be no assurance that Unique Logistics’ right to indemnification from any seller will be enforceable, collectible or sufficient in amount, scope, or duration to fully offset the amount of any undiscovered or underestimated liabilities. Any such liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on Unique Logistics’ business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Unique Logistics may face competition from parties who sell it their businesses and from professionals who cease working for it.

In connection with its acquisitions, Unique Logistics generally obtains non-solicitation agreements from the professionals it hires, as well as non-competition agreements from senior managers and professionals. The agreements prohibit such individuals from competing with Unique Logistics during the term of their employment and for a fixed period afterwards and seeking to solicit Unique Logistics’ employees or clients. In some cases, but not all, Unique Logistics may obtain non-competition or non-solicitation agreements from parties who sell it their business or assets. Certain activities may be carved out of or otherwise may not be prohibited by these arrangements. Unique Logistics cannot be sure that one or more of the parties from whom it acquires assets or a business or who do not join Unique Logistics or leave its employment will not compete with it or solicit its employees or clients in the future. Even if ultimately resolved in Unique Logistics’ favor, any litigation associated with the non-competition or non-solicitation agreements could be time consuming, costly and distract management’s focus from locating suitable acquisition candidates and operating Unique Logistics’ business. Moreover, states and foreign jurisdictions may interpret restrictions on competition narrowly and in favor of employees.

Therefore, certain restrictions on competition or solicitation may be unenforceable. In addition, Unique Logistics may not pursue legal remedies if it determines that preserving cooperation and a professional relationship with the former employee or his or her clients, or other concerns, outweigh the benefits of any possible legal recourse or the likelihood of success does not justify the costs of pursuing a legal remedy. Such persons, because they have worked for Unique Logistics or a business that it acquires, may be able to compete more effectively with Unique Logistics, or be more successful in soliciting its employees and clients, than unaffiliated third parties.

General Risk Factors

Unique Logistics’ failure to continue to attract, train, or retain highly qualified personnel could harm its business.

Unique Logistics’ success depends on its ability to attract, train, and retain qualified personnel, specifically those with management, customer development and general logistics industry skills. Competition for such personnel is intense. If Unique Logistics does not succeed in attracting new personnel or retaining and motivating its current personnel, its business could be harmed.

Unique Logistics’ indebtedness could adversely impact its financial condition and results of operations.

Significant adverse economic and industry conditions could negatively affect Unique Logistics’ ability to pay principal and interest on its debt and limit its ability to fund working capital, capital expenditures, possible acquisitions, dividends, share repurchases, or other investments. If Unique Logistics is unable to generate sufficient cash flows to satisfy its debt obligations or refinance these debt obligations with commercially acceptable terms, it may adversely impact Unique Logistics’ financial position and results of operations. Further, Unique Logistics may be unable to comply with the various restrictions and covenants under its indebtedness, which may result in default and its outstanding indebtedness may become immediately due and payable and adversely impact its financial position or, as with the Second Waiver, may require us to make payments and issue securities in connection with obtaining a waiver of any such default.

Unique Logistics may be adversely impacted by changing interest rates.

We are exposed to changes in interest rates as all of our debt, except the promissory notes that we issued to ULHK in the ULHK Entities Acquisition and for the acquisition of its shares in Unique Singapore, includes variable interest rates. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary policies, economic conditions, and other factors beyond our control. A significant increase in interest rates could adversely impact Unique Logistics’ financial position and results of operations.

Unique Logistics may be subject to negative impacts of changes in political and governmental conditions, particularly with respect to its operations in China.

Unique Logistics’ operations may be subject to the influences of significant political, governmental, and similar changes and Unique Logistics’ ability to respond to them, including:

●	changes in political conditions and in governmental policies;

●	changes in and compliance with international and domestic laws and regulations; and

●	wars, civil unrest, acts of terrorism, and other conflicts, including rising tensions between the United States and China and the current conflict in the Red Sea, which is impacting the global freight market.

Unique Logistics has a customer base in the United States that is significantly dependent on trade and commerce with China (including Hong Kong). Moreover, as a result of the ULHK Entities Acquisitions Unique Logistics has majority owned subsidiaries in China and Hong Kong. Geopolitical factors may compel United States companies to shift their purchases and sales from China to other parts of the world. Such transition may be disruptive to the business of Unique Logistics. While its diverse network of subsidiaries and independent agents mitigates the risk, somewhat, of losing business in the long term, there is a significant risk that production may shift to areas of the globe where Unique Logistics cannot effectively service its customers.

Should relations between China and United States deteriorate significantly, Unique Logistics faces the following additional risks:

●	loss of revenue in its China and Hong Kong based companies;

●	inability to repatriate local profits from these companies;

●	impairment of assets in China and Hong Kong, including non-recovery of local trade receivables;

●	security of its local employees, including any expatriate employees; and

●	security of data and confidential information in its offices.

Unique Logistics may be subject to negative impacts of catastrophic events.

A disruption or failure of Unique Logistics’ 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 Unique Logistics’ critical business or information systems could harm Unique Logistics’ ability to conduct normal business operations and adversely impact its operating results.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

None.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

From time to time, the Company is subject to attempted cyber-attacks and other cybersecurity risks. The nature of our business requires that we store and exchange electronically with appropriate parties and systems personally identifiable information that may be targeted in an attempted cybersecurity breach. In addition, our business is heavily reliant on various information technology and application systems that may be impacted by a malicious cyber-attack. These cyber incidents may cause lost revenues or increased expenses stemming from reputational damage and fines related to breach of personally identifiable information, inability to use certain systems for a period of time, loss of financial assets, remediation and litigation costs and increased cybersecurity protection costs. We have developed and continue to invest in a variety of controls to prevent, detect and appropriately react to such cyber-attacks including periodically testing our systems’ security and access controls. However, cybersecurity risks continue to become more complex and broad ranging, and our internal controls provide only a reasonable, not absolute, assurance that we will be able to protect ourselves from significant cyber-attack incidents. By outsourcing certain business and administrative functions to third parties, we may be exposed to an enhanced risk of data security breaches. Any breach of data security could damage our reputation and/or result in monetary damages, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

The Company maintains an Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) program, which includes processes for key risk identification, mitigation efforts, and day-to-day management of risks, including cybersecurity risks. The ERM program is administered by our risk management committee, consisting of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Vice President, Compliance & Risk Management, and involves our outsourced global cybersecurity team, which possesses significant knowledge and expertise in cybersecurity risks.

Our global cybersecurity team ensures that the cybersecurity risks identified through the ERM program are incorporated into our overall cybersecurity program. We have put into place programs to address key cybersecurity risks including layered coverage with focus areas and practices designed to address network and endpoint security, application security, and security operations. We have processes in place to oversee and identify risks from cybersecurity threats associated with the use of third-party technology including third-party risk management, process and partner intake risk assessments, and dedicated procurement functions. These processes help mitigate the risks associated with utilizing external technology platforms and help prevent disruptions to our business operations.

We consistently involve our external cybersecurity experts to assess our cybersecurity program, risk management, and relevant internal controls. Although we have not experienced a material cyber-attack, we maintain insurance coverage to specifically address cybersecurity risks. The coverage provides protection up to $1 million above a deductible of $50,000 for various cybersecurity risks including liability, business interruptions, cybercrimes and privacy breach related incidents.

Our business continuity program follows industry standards for disaster recovery practices. Our program includes multiple components that act as an additional line of defense among them are regular functional recovery and tabletop exercises; cybersecurity exercises; protected backups for critical data; recovery time objectives; and recovery point objectives including achievability metrics, application criticality, program audit and maintenance, awareness and training, business impact analysis, and risk evaluation and controls.

Cybersecurity Governance

The Board of Directors is tasked with oversight of the Company’s cybersecurity, information governance, and privacy programs.

All tasks related to assessing and managing the Company’s material risks from cybersecurity threats are delegated to the risk management committee that oversees our ERM program, which includes cyber-related risk items. In addition, our risk management committee receives quarterly reports on cybersecurity from our global cybersecurity team that has experience and expertise supporting mitigation of the potential cybersecurity threats facing our organization and vulnerabilities facing our technology infrastructure and potential cybersecurity threats.

All members of our management team have been provided sufficient training to obtain an understanding of cybersecurity risks and exposures. The management team is actively promoting the Company’s cybersecurity policies and procedures, and leading discussions and mitigations of cybersecurity risks in the areas of their responsibilities.

Item 2. Properties.

Unique Logistics’ corporate headquarters is located at 154-09 146^th Avenue, Jamaica, NY 11434. We lease this space, consisting of 2,219 square feet, pursuant to a lease agreement that expires on April 30, 2029.

We lease 37 properties around the world, which we use as office space and, with respect to our leased property in Santa Fe Springs, California, as office and warehouse space. We consider our Sante Fe property, at 110,791 square feet, to be the only significant property that Unique Logistics leases.

We use our leased properties for office and warehouse purposes, and we believe that our current warehouse and office spaces are adequate for our immediate needs. We may require additional space as we expand our business activities. We do not foresee any significant difficulties in obtaining additional facilities if and when we require them.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

The Company is not currently involved in any disputes and does not have any litigation matters pending that it believes could have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

From time to time, however, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in any such matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

As discussed above (See “Item 1. Business — Growth Strategy — Strategic Acquisitions”), on February 21, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the share capital owned by ULHK in eight subsidiaries for $26.5 million. In addition to the acquisition of the shares in the ULHK Entities, Unique Logistics acquired two companies that are owned by two of the ULHK Entities. Acquisition of these entities is expected to have a material favorable impact on revenues and consolidated income of the Company going forward.

Market and Business Trends, Impact on the Company

Unique Logistics’ fiscal year 2024, which commenced on June 1, 2023, can be considered a tale of two halves. The shipping industry continued to experience weak demand during the first half of the year, particularly from importers, due to remaining high inventory levels and excess carrier capacity. Carriers increased their capacity to meet surging demand for space by ocean freight and air freight from United States importers during the second half of calendar 2021 as retailers increased inventory and the United States began to emerge from the most onerous restrictions connected to the COVID-19 pandemic. The resulting extremely competitive conditions in the industry led to continued transportation rates that were low compared to pre-COVID levels, resulting in decreased revenue and gross margins both for the Company and in the industry generally.

Beginning in November 2023, however, demand started to increase, and at the same time, the attacks on ships in the Red Sea that began in October 2024, requiring re-routing of vessels traveling from Asia to Europe and the East Coast of the United States lengthened ocean transit times and created equipment displacement and shortages, resulting in increased freight rates but lower shipping volumes. As the Company was unable to respond to such price increases for approximately 30-45 days, this decreased our gross margins during this period. These conditions also resulted in growth in airfreight volume beginning in March 2024, with importers looking to build up depleted inventory and seeking an alternative to ocean freight shipping. Air freight volumes were already on an elevated trend driven by Chinese e-commerce shipments and the Red Sea situation added to this volume as shippers converted ocean shipments to air. Ocean freight pricing eventually began to increase as well due to the increased demand, but not until June 2024, that is, after our 2024 fiscal year-end.

Results of Operations

Revenue

For the years ended May 31, 2024, and 2023, Unique Logistics’ revenue by product line was as follows:

	For the Year Ended May 31, 2024		For the Year Ended May 31, 2023		$ change			% change
Revenues
Airfreight	$	120,835,647	$	80,971,563	$	39,864,084			49.2	%
Ocean freight		101,713,709		181,432,206		(79,718,497	)		(43.9	)%
Contract logistics		2,754,104		3,217,479		(463,375	)		(14.4	)%
Customs brokerage and other services		37,215,964		59,997,244		(22,781,280	)		(38.0	)%
Total revenues	$	262,519,424	$	325,618,492	$	(63,099,068	)		(19.4	)%

For the years ended May 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company’s revenue by product line, excluding the operations of the ULHK Entities acquired on February 21, 2023, were as follows:

	For the Year Ended May 31, 2024		For the Year Ended May 31, 2023		$ change			% change
Revenues
Airfreight	$	84,680,298	$	77,300,042	$	7,380,256			9.5	%
Ocean freight		78,626,083		176,535,202		(97,909,119	)		(55.5	)%
Contract logistics		2,754,104		3,217,479		(463,375	)		(14.4	)%
Customs brokerage and other services		30,142,642		58,495,545		(28,352,903	)		(48.5	)%
Total revenues	$	196,203,127	$	315,548,268	$	(119,345,141	)		(37.8	)%

The 19.4% decrease in total revenues for the year ended May 31, 2024, compared with the year ended May 31, 2023, is primarily due to decreases in ocean freight revenue and, to a lesser extent, in revenue from customs brokerage and other services, offset by an increase in air freight revenue.

The 43.9% decrease in ocean freight revenue was due to a 48.5% decrease in the pricing for such services, resulting in a 110.3% decrease in such revenue, offset by an 8.8% increase in volume that resulted in a 10.3% increase in such revenue, year over year. The year over year variations in pricing and volume was primarily attributable to the market impacts of the attacks on ships in the Red Sea during the second half of fiscal 2024.

Excluding ocean revenues of $23.1 million (net of intercompany eliminations) attributable to the acquisition of the ULHK Entities, ocean freight revenue decreased by 55.5% during the year ended May 31, 2024 compared to the year ended May 31, 2023. Such decrease is the result of decreases of 42.6% in pricing for such services, which resulted in a 76.8% decrease in revenues, and 22.4% in volume that resulted in another 23.2% reduction in revenues, year over year.

The decline in revenue from customs brokerage and other services during the year ended May 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended May 31, 2023, was a direct result of our asking customers to pay their own duties, which is typically not a profit producing activity. Payment of duties is more of a service to the customer as the Company pays for duties and gets reimbursed by the customer without making a profit.

The 49.2% increase in airfreight revenue was due to the acquisition of the ULHK Entities and the market trends discussed above, specifically, demand shifting from ocean freight to airfreight as a result of the Red Sea situation. Air freight volumes were already on an elevated trend driven by Chinese e-commerce shipments and the Red Sea situation added to the air freight volume increases. An 84.6% increase in volume resulted in a 138.9% increase in air freight revenue, offset by a 38.9% reduction in such revenue resulting from a 19.1% decrease in air freight pricing during the year ended May 31, 2024 compared to the year ended May 31, 2023. The pricing decrease in the airfreight segment is mostly due to a significant increase in global air traffic creating additional capacity for air freight.

Excluding airfreight revenues of $36.2 million (net of intercompany eliminations) attributable to the operations of the ULHK Entities, air freight revenue increased by 9.5% during the year ended May 31, 2024 compared to the year ended May 31, 2023. A 32.9% increase in volume resulted in a 284.1% increase in revenue, offset by a 184.1% reduction in such revenue as a result of a 17.6% decrease in pricing, year over year.

While not a material contributor to the decrease in revenues generally, contract logistics revenue declined by 14.4% during the year ended May 31, 2024 compared to the year ended May 31, 2023, both with and without the inclusion of the operations of the ULHK Entities, indicating that less cargo was being handled in the Company’s warehouses year over year.

Costs and Operating Expenses

For the years ended May 31, 2024 and 2023, Unique Logistics’ costs and operating expenses were as follows:

For the years ended May 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s costs and operating expenses, excluding the operations of the ULHK Entities, were as follows:

	For the Year Ended, May 31, 2024		For the Year Ended, May 31, 2023		$ change			% change

The $58.1 million or 20.1% decrease in cost of sales correlates with the 19.4% decrease in revenue for fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023, specifically in ocean freight, contract logistics and customs brokerage.

All other operating and administrative expenses increased by $10.6 million during the year ended May 31, 2024, compared to the year ended May 31, 2023, primarily due to a $7.5 million increase in salaries and related costs, $6.9 million of which is attributable to the employees of our new subsidiaries acquired in the ULHK Entities Acquisition. The balance of this increase resulted primarily from increases in depreciation and amortization, rent and occupancy and, to a lesser extent, professional fees. The Company doesn’t expect significant increases in salaries and benefits going forward and is considering actions it can implement to curtail these costs in future periods.

The 59.2% increase in depreciation and amortization was the result of recognition of approximately $6.5 million of identifiable intangible assets such as customer relations and non-compete agreements as part of the ULHK Entities Acquisition. These intangible assets are now being amortized over the useful life of the assets contributing to approximately half of the increase, with the other half being contributed by depreciation expense recorded by the ULHK Entities. Approximately half of the 74.6% increase in rent and occupancy expenses was due to an increase in the rental rates of our warehouse facility in Los Angeles and the other half to leases of the newly acquired ULHK Entities. The Company doesn’t expect significant increases in rent and occupancy expenses going forward. Professional fees increased during the year ended May 31, 2024, compared to the year ended May 31, 2023 primarily due to additional legal fees incurred in connection with the now-abandoned merger transaction with Edify pursuant to the Merger Agreement that we entered into in December 2022 and terminated on March 1, 2024. Finally, selling and promotion expenses decreased by 15.1% year over year due to lower sales commissions as a result of revisions of commission-based sales targets.

Excluding costs (net of intercompany eliminations) attributable to the operations of the ULHK Entities, costs of sales decreased by 37.4% and is consistent with the 37.8% reduction in revenue for the same period.

Other operating and administrative expenses, excluding the operations of the ULHK Entities, increased by $1.6 million, primarily as a result of increases in salaries and related costs, rent expense and depreciation and amortization, offset by a decrease in selling and promotion expenses. Professional fees increased by $0.3 million primarily due to additional legal fees incurred in connection with the now-abandoned merger transaction with Edify, as discussed above. Rent expense increased due to an increase in the rental rates of our warehouse facility in Los Angeles. The 65.3% increase in depreciation and amortization was the result of our recognition of approximately $6.5 million of identifiable intangible assets such as customer relations and non-compete agreements as part of the ULHK Entities Acquisition. Selling and promotion expenses decreased by $0.7 million or 25.0% year-over-year due to lower sales commissions as a result of revisions of commission-based sales targets.

Gross Margin

Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased from 11.1% for the year ended May 31, 2023, to 11.9% consolidated, or decreased to 9.8% when excluding the operations of the ULHK Entities, during the year ended May 31, 2024. The consolidated gross margin improvement is due to the better management of freight purchasing through diversified network and synergies achieved as a result of the acquisition of ULHK Entities. Gross margin is an important measurement of a logistics company’s efficiency and profitability. The Company is focused on this and other measures when making strategic decisions and investments.

Other Income (Expenses)

For the years ended May 31, 2024 and 2023, other expenses were $11.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and consisted of interest expense, change in fair value of derivative and contingent liabilities, SPAC merger termination costs and uplist termination costs.

For the year ended May 31, 2024, interest expense was $4.4 million compared to $3.8 million for the year ended May 31, 2023. This increase is primarily due to the interest incurred on the promissory notes that we issued to ULHK in the ULHK Entities Acquisition and increased outstanding balances from our operating line of credit with TBK Bank, SSB during fiscal 2024.

For the year ended May 31, 2023, the Company recognized gain on change in valuation of contingent consideration in the amount of $1.8 million, which represents the reversal of a previously recorded earn-out provision as part of ULHK Entities Acquisition as we determined after closing that the milestones that would have triggered the payment had not been met. There was no similar item during the year ended May 31, 2024.

For the year ended May 31, 2024, the Company recorded $5.9 million gain in fair value of derivative liability compared to a $0.9 million gain in fair value of derivative liabilities recorded for the year ended May 31, 2023. This derivative related to the antidilution provision imbedded in the Company’s preferred stock.

Finally, for the year ended May 31, 2024, the Company recorded losses related to the termination of the Merger Agreement, including a write off previously capitalized uplist cost in the amount of $3.1 million, assumption of $3.0 term debt and the issuance of the Warrants, which had a fair value of $6.9 million. There were no similar expenses incurred during the year ended May 31, 2023.

Net (Loss) Income

Net loss was $7.1 million for the year ended May 31, 2024, compared to net income of $8.2 million for the year ended May 31, 2023. Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $7.0 million during the year ended May 31, 2024 compared to net income available to common shareholders of $8.2 million for the year ended May 31, 2023. These results were mostly due to the $4.4 million loss from operations during fiscal 2024 compared to income from operations of $10.5 million during fiscal 2023 and the $11.4 million in other expenses incurred during fiscal 2024, partially offset by an $8.7 million income tax benefit in fiscal 2024.

Impairment Considerations

Given the history of reduction in revenue, use of cash from operations, and net loss for the year ended May 31, 2024, the Company reviewed goodwill and intangible assets for potential impairment. In evaluating the potential events and circumstance during the fiscal year, management did not note any impairment indicators that would cause more likely than not the fair value of any reporting units to be less than its carrying amount. For such evaluation management used current year projections, and independently determined enterprise value of the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

The following table summarizes the Company’s total current assets, liabilities and working capital at the dates indicated:

	May 31, 2024		May 31, 2023		Change			% change
Current Assets	$	51,732,391	$	60,326,985	$	(8,594,594	)		(14.2	)%
Current Liabilities		47,589,867		52,448,603		(4,858,736	)		(9.3	)%
Working Capital	$	4,142,524	$	7,878,382	$	(3,735,858	)		(47.4	)%

The Company’s working capital was $4.1 million and $7.9 million, respectively, as of May 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company maintains its operating line of credit with TBK Bank, SSB, and on July 20, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with TBK Bank to renew the TBK line of credit with a credit limit of up to $25.0 million. The Company experienced negative operating cash flows during the year ended May 31, 2024, due to adverse market conditions. We believe that the funds available under the TBK line of credit are sufficient to provide the Company with the cash required to support its ongoing operations until market conditions improve.

While the Company continues to execute its strategic plan and grow its customer base, management is focused on managing cash and monitoring the Company’s liquidity position. We have implemented several initiatives to conserve our liquidity position, including increasing credit facilities, when needed, reducing the cost of debt by obtaining more favorable financing, controlling general and administrative expenditures, and improving our cash collection processes. Many aspects of our liquidity plan involve management’s judgments and estimates that include factors that could be beyond our control and actual results could differ from our estimates. These and other factors could cause the strategic plan to be unsuccessful, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, and liquidity. Negative operating capital may be an indicator that there could be a going concern issue, but based on our evaluation of the Company’s projected cash flows and business performance as of and subsequent to May 31, 2024, management has concluded that the Company’s current cash and cash availability under the TBK line of credit as of May 31, 2024, would be sufficient to fund its planned operations and alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

Cash generated and used by the Company during the years ended May 31, 2024 and 2023 was as follows:

	For the Year Ended, May 31, 2024			For the Year Ended, May 31, 2023			Change
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities	$	(13,810,278	)	$	32,142,133		$	(45,952,410	)
Net cash used in investing activities		359,898			10,523,976			(10,164,079	)
Net cash provided (used in) by financing activities		10,670,504			(37,347,523	)		48,018,027
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash		(164,801	)		3,258			(168,059	)
Net (decrease) in cash and cash equivalent	$	(2,944,677	)	$	5,321,845		$	(8,266,521	)

Operating activities used cash of $13.8 million during the year ended May 31, 2024 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $32.1 million during the year ended May 31, 2023. The primary reason for the cash used during 2024 was the loss from operations of $4.4 million, an increase in accounts receivables of $4.0 million and a reduction in accounts payable of $6.5 million. The primary reason for cash provided during the year ended May 31, 2023, was collections on accounts receivables offset by a reduction in accounts payable and accrued freight.

Investing activities provided cash of $0.4 million during the year ended May 31, 2024 compared to $10.5 million during the year ended May 31, 2023. During the year ended May 31, 2024, investing activities consisted of purchases of equipment and dividends received from equity method investments. During the year ended May 31, 2023, investing activities consisted of purchases of equipment, dividends and cash acquired as part of business combination that is cash remaining in the acquired entities’ bank accounts.

Financing activities provided cash of $10.7 million during the year ended May 31, 2024, as a result of additional borrowings of $5.1 million from the TBK line of credit and $8.0 million under the Financing Agreement, offset by partial repayments of the notes issued in the ULHK Entities Acquisition. Financing activities used cash of $37.4 million during the year ended May 31, 2023, primarily as a result of our repayment of $30.1 million on the TBK Bank line of credit offset by borrowing $4.0 million in the form of a term debt and repayment of $10.7 million of related party notes. Cash used by financing activities during the year ended May 31, 2023 was primarily for repayment of $40.0 million in liabilities, primarily repayment of the TBK Bank line of credit.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (2) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with our board of directors. In addition, there are other items within our financial statements that require estimation but are not deemed critical as defined above. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our financial statements.

Derivative liability

The Company has identified and recorded derivative instruments arising from an anti-dilution provision. An embedded derivative liability is representing the rights of holders of Convertible Preferred Stock Series A, C and D to receive additional shares of Common Stock upon issuance of any additional shares of Common Stock by the Company prior to a qualified financing event as defined in the preferred shares agreement. Each reporting period, the embedded derivative liability, if material, would be adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end with changes in fair value recorded in the “Change in fair value of embedded derivative liability” financial statement line item of the Company’s statements of operations. The underlying value of the anti-dilution provision is calculated from estimating the probability and value of the provision assuming a near term financing event. For the year ended May 31, 2024, based on the assumption of how antidilutive shares of Convertible Preferred Series A, C and D would be exchanged in the near future for shares of Common Stock, and the fact that the antidilution provision of these shares is effective through December 31, 2024, the assumptions include probability of the financing event, estimated value of the Common Stock at the exchange point and estimated time to financing event, therefore this estimate is subject to uncertainty. This estimate is deemed critical as the underlying value of this instrument changed by 7.1% and 50.1% during the years ended May 31, 2023, and 2024 respectively.

Warrants

As previously discussed, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement on March 1, 2024, the Company agreed to issue the Warrants entitling the holder thereof to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the greater of (a) 7% of enterprise value as calculated in a manner to be mutually agreed and acceptable to the origination agent and the Company on a fully diluted basis and (b) $7,000,000, on terms, conditions and in a form reasonably acceptable to origination agent, and having an exercise price of $0.01 per share.

The anti-dilution provisions applicable to the Warrants shall at no time be less favorable to the holder thereof than those accorded by the Company to any other person on or after the effective date of the Second Waiver. The Warrants shall be exercisable for a period of 7.5 years. This arrangement did not meet qualification requirements to be classified as equity because there is no explicit limit on the number of shares to be delivered in a share settlement. Accordingly, the Warrants were classified as a liability as the issuer is obligated to settle the Warrants by issuing a variable number of shares and the monetary value of the obligation based on a predetermined fixed amount, variation in something other than the issuer’s stock price, in this case the amount is the enterprise value of the Company at the time of the future financing event. As the Warrants were not yet issued on the balance sheet date, the Warrants were recorded as other long-term liability. Due to the unique nature of the Warrants, which the Company anticipates will have an effective date of September 1, 2024, a Monte Carlo simulation was necessary in order to properly perform the valuation. Monte Carlo simulation analysis is mathematically similar to that used in a Black-Scholes option pricing model. However, in a Monte Carlo simulation, a computer is used to generate random price movements, which are constrained by the expected volatility of the underlying security. Where each step in a binomial model contains two possible outcomes, each step in a Monte Carlo simulation contains an unlimited number of potential outcomes. This estimate is deemed critical as the underlying value of this instrument changed from $7,415,816 to $6,879,823 or by 7.2% from the inception on March 1, 2024 through May 31, 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define adjusted EBITDA to be earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, transaction gains and losses, other income, merger and acquisition costs, impairment charges and certain other non-recurring items.

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 as an indicator of operating performance and represents income that is within management’s control. We use adjusted EBITDA as a financial metric to measure the financial performance of the business because management believes that it provides additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities. For this reason, we believe that adjusted EBITDA will also be useful to others, including our stockholders, as a valuable financial metric.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, 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 this non-GAAP financial measure to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure should be read only in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Following is the reconciliation of our consolidated net income to adjusted EBITDA for the years ended May 31, 2024 and 2023:

	For the Year Ended May 31, 2024			For the Year Ended May 31, 2023

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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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, 2024, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. 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, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and require remediation in order to be 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:

●	Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;

●	Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and

●	Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

The Company’s principal executive officers, that is, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2024. 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). The Company’s principal executive officers have concluded, based on their assessment, that as of May 31, 2024, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and requires remediation in order to be effective at the reasonable assurance level. In addition, our auditors identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting during their audit of our financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In the course of preparing the financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2024, we identified separate material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, which relates to the ineffective design and implementation of information technology general controls (“ITGC”) combined with the lack of properly designed management review controls to compensate for these deficiencies. The Company’s ITGC deficiencies included improperly designed controls pertaining to user access rights and segregation of duties over systems that are critical to the Company’s system of financial reporting. 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 control 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, 2024 and subsequently to year end we commenced the remediation and actively addressed a number of previously identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, including ITGC deficiencies and we significantly improved our accounting processes, and 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 control over financial reporting at the activity level, including extensive process documentation and testing, we are not able to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting are operating effectively and efficiently at this time. The Company’s principal executive officers and board of directors are committed to achieving full compliance.

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

During the quarter ended May 31, 2024, the Company actively addressed and commenced to remediate a number of previously identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting. We improved our accounting processes and documentation, introduced new accounting policies and procedures, and provided training to our accounting personnel. There have been no changes except for the improvements discussed above in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) 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 SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Unique Logistics International, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Unique Logistics International, Inc. (the “Company”) as of May 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended May 31, 2024, 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, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended May 31, 2024, 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 audits. 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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audits 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 audits 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 audits 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 audits provide 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

May 31, 2024

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

Unique Logistics International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Unique”) is a non-asset-based provider of global logistics and freight forwarding services operating through a worldwide network of offices and exclusive or non-exclusive agents. The Company’s customers include retailing and wholesaling, electronics, high technology, industrial and manufacturing companies around the world. The Company provides a range of international logistics services that enable its customers to outsource sections of their supply chain process. This range of services can be categorized as follows:

	●	Air Freight
	●	Ocean Freight
	●	Customs Brokerage and Compliance
	●	Warehousing and Distribution
	●	Order Management

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include all accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries stated in U.S. dollars, the Company’s functional currency. For subsidiaries operating outside the U.S., the financial information will be accounted for on a one-month lag. Substantially all unremitted earnings of international subsidiaries are free of legal and contractual restrictions. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity

As of May 31, 2024, the Company reported positive net working capital of $4.1 million compared to $7.9 million as of May 31, 2023. The Company reported a net loss of $7.1 million compared to net income of $8.2 million for the years ended May 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Net loss was partially due to losses from operations of $4.4 million and due to expenses related to SPAC merger termination (See Note 3) in the amount of $13.0 million offset by decreases in derivative liabilities and income tax benefits. The loss is attributable to operations during the current year. This deficit was compensated for by dividends received from the foreign subsidiaries or by additional borrowing on the line of credit.

The Company maintains its operating line of credit with TBK Bank, SSB, under which TBK Bank will, from time to time, increase the Company’s credit limit on demand. Credit limit as of May 31, 2024, was set at $25.0 million (“TBK Facility”). On September 4, 2024 the Company entered into an amendment to the loan agreement for a temporary increase in the available credit limit from $25.0 million to $30.0 million through March 4, 2025. We believe that the funds available under the current TBK Facility are sufficient to provide the Company with the cash required to support its ongoing operations until market conditions improve.

While the Company continues to execute its strategic plan and grow its customer base, management is focused on managing cash and monitoring the Company’s liquidity position. We have implemented several initiatives to conserve our liquidity position, including increasing credit facilities, when needed, reducing the cost of debt by obtaining more favorable financing, controlling general and administrative expenditures, and improving our cash collection processes. Many aspects of the liquidity plan involve management’s judgments and estimates that include factors that could be beyond our control and actual results could differ from our estimates. These and other factors could cause the strategic plan to be unsuccessful, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, and liquidity. Negative operating capital may be an indicator that there could be a going concern issue, but based on its evaluation of the Company’s projected cash flows and business performance as of and subsequent to May 31, 2024, management has concluded that the Company’s current cash and cash availability under the TBK Facility as of May 31, 2024, would be sufficient to fund its planned operations and alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

F-8

Acquisitions

These consolidated financial statements include the operations of acquired businesses from the date of the acquisitions. On February 21, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of share capital in eight operating subsidiaries from Unique Logistics Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (see Note 2). The decision of whether to consolidate an entity for financial reporting purposes requires consideration of majority voting interests, as well as effective economic or other control over the entity.

We account for acquired businesses that we control using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that most assets acquired, and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Any excess of the consideration transferred over the assigned values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

Contingent consideration in a business combination is included as part of the contingent liability and is recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. Fair value is generally estimated by using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach. Any liability resulting from contingent consideration is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. These changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

For equity-method investments in share capital of the subsidiaries where share interest acquired is less than 50%, but we have significant influence over the financial and operating policies of the investee, we use the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, we record our share of the investee’s income and expenses in income from operation and any share of the earnings and loss would be recorded against investment reduced by cash dividends received. The initial excess of the cost of the investment over our share of the underlying equity in the net assets of the investee as of the acquisition date is allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee, with any remaining excess amount allocated to goodwill. Such investments are initially recorded at cost, which is the fair value of consideration paid and typically does not include contingent consideration. For equity-method investments, an impairment charge is recorded only if and when a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include determinations of the useful lives and expected future cash flows of long-lived assets, including intangibles, valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, and estimates and assumptions in valuation of debt and equity instruments, including derivative liabilities. In addition, the Company makes significant judgments to recognize revenue – see policy note “Revenue Recognition” below.

Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for services. The Company recognizes revenue upon meeting each performance obligation based on the allocated amount of the total consideration of the contract to each specific performance obligation.

To determine revenue recognition, the Company applies the following five steps:

	1.	Identify the contract(s) with a customer;

	2.	Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

	3.	Determine the transaction price;

	4.	Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

	5.	Recognize revenue as or when the performance obligation is satisfied.

F-9

Revenue is recognized as follows:

	i.	Freight income - export sales

		Freight income from the provision of air, ocean, and land freight forwarding services are recognized over time based on a relative transit time basis through the sail or departure from origin port. The Company is the principal in these transactions and recognizes revenue on a gross basis.

	ii.	Freight income - import sales

		Freight income from the provision of air, ocean, and land freight forwarding services are recognized over time based on a relative transit time basis through the delivery to the customer’s designated location. The Company is the principal in these transactions and recognizes revenue on a gross basis.

	iii.	Customs brokerage and other service income

		Customs brokerage and other service income from the provision of other services are recognized at the point in time the performance obligation is met.

The Company’s business practices require, for accurate and meaningful disclosure, that it recognizes revenue over time. The “over time” policy is the period from point of origin to arrival of the shipment at the Port of entry (or in the case when the customer requires delivery to a designated point, the arrival at that delivery point). This overtime policy requires the Company to make significant judgements to recognize revenue over the estimated duration of time from port of origin to arrival at port of entry. The point in the process when the Company meets its obligation in the port of entry and the subsequent transfer of the goods to the customer is when the customer has the obligation to pay, has taken physical possession, has legal title, risk and awards (ownership) and has accepted the goods. The Company has elected to not disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of the end of the period as the Company’s contracts with its customers have an expected duration of one year or less.

The Company uses independent contractors and third-party carriers in the performance of its transportation services. The Company evaluates who controls the transportation services to determine whether its performance obligation is to transfer services to the customer or to arrange for services to be provided by another party. The Company determined it acts as the principal for its transportation services performance obligation since it is in control of establishing the prices for the specified services, managing all aspects of the shipments process and assuming the risk of loss for delivery and collection.

Revenue billed prior to realization is recorded as contract liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and contract costs incurred prior to revenue recognition are recorded as contract assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Contract Assets

Contract assets represent amounts for which the Company has the right to consider for the services provided while a shipment is still in-transit but for which it has not yet completed the performance obligation and has not yet invoiced the customer. Upon completion of the performance obligations, which can vary in duration based upon the method of transport and billing the customer, these amounts become classified within accounts receivable.

Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities represent the amount of obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which consideration has been received.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits.

F-11

Foreign Currency

For most of our international operations conducted by the subsidiaries operating outside the U.S, local currencies have been determined to be functional currencies. We translate functional currency assets and liabilities to their U.S. dollar equivalents at exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and income and expense amounts at average exchange rates for the period. The U.S. dollar affects that arise from changing translation rates are recorded in Other comprehensive income/(loss).

Transaction gains or losses result from a change in exchange rates between the functional currency and the currency in which a foreign currency transaction is denominated. We aggregate all transaction gains and losses and classify the net amount in a single caption in the income statement in operating income as foreign exchange transactions, net.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable from revenue transactions are based on invoiced prices which the Company expects to collect. In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit to customers that satisfy pre-defined credit criteria. The Company generally does not require collateral to support customer receivables. Accounts receivable, as shown on the consolidated balance sheets, is net of allowances when applicable.

Management estimates that allowance for credit losses based on ongoing review of existing economic conditions, the financial conditions of the customers, historical trends in credit losses, and the amount and age of past due accounts. The Company’s trade accounts receivable present similar credit risk characteristics and the allowance for credit loss is estimated on a collective basis, using a credit loss-rate method that uses historical credit loss information and considers the current economic environment. As of May 31, 2024, and May 31, 2023 the Company recorded an allowance for credit losses of approximately $0.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Concentrations

Revenue from three major customers in the aggregate as a percentage of the Company’s total revenue was 25.0% for the year ended May 31, 2024, with only one customer at 11%.

Revenue from three major customers in the aggregate as a percentage of the Company’s total revenue was 19.0% for the year ended May 31, 2023, and no single customer represented more than 10.0% of total revenue.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is provided for by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

Estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:

	Software		3 years
	Computer equipment		3 – 5 years
	Furniture and fixtures		5 – 7 years
	Leasehold improvements		Shorter of estimated useful life or remaining term of the lease

Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reviewed annually.

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. For assets sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any related gain or loss is reflected in income for the period. The Company did not record any impairment for the year ended May 21, 2024 or May 31, 2023.

F-12

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

The Company accounts for business acquisitions in accordance with GAAP. Goodwill in such acquisitions is determined as the excess of fair value over amounts attributable to specific tangible and intangible assets. GAAP specifies criteria to be used in determining whether intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recognized and reported separately from goodwill. Amounts assigned to goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets are based on independent appraisals or internal estimates.

In accordance with GAAP, the Company does not amortize goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. Management evaluates the remaining useful life of an intangible asset that is not being amortized each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If an intangible asset that is not being amortized is subsequently determined to have a finite useful life, it is amortized prospectively over its estimated remaining useful life. Amortizable intangible assets, including tradenames and non-compete agreements, are amortized on a straight-line basis over 3 to 10 years. Customer relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis over 12 to 15 years.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of May 31 or if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the fair value of the entity, or the reporting unit, may be below its carrying amount (a “triggering event”). Whenever events or circumstances change, entities have the option to first make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment. If impairment is deemed more likely than not, management would perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step impairment test is not required. In assessing the qualitative factors, the Company assessed relevant events and circumstances that may impact the fair value and the carrying amount of the reporting unit. The identification of the relevant events and circumstances and how these may impact a reporting unit’s fair value or carrying amount involve significant judgements and assumptions. The judgement and assumptions include the identification of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, Company specific events and share price trends, an assessment of whether each relevant factor will impact the impairment test positively or negatively, and the magnitude of such impact.

If a quantitative assessment is performed, a reporting unit’s fair value is compared to its carrying value. A reporting unit’s fair value is determined based upon consideration of various valuation methodologies, including the income approach, which utilizes projected future cash flows discounted at rates commensurate with the risks involved and multiples of current and future earnings. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

We test goodwill for impairment annually in the fiscal fourth quarter or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. For the years ended May 31, 2024 and 2023 the Company conducted its annual review of impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and no impairment was identified.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are comprised of intangible assets and property and equipment. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. An estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by the asset, or the appropriate grouping of assets, is compared to the carrying value to determine whether an impairment exists, pursuant to the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 360-10 “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of”. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including a discounted value of estimated future cash flows and fundamental analysis. The Company reports an asset to be disposed of at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated net realizable value. The Company did not record any impairment for the years ended May 31, 2024 and 2023, as there were no triggering events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company follows the authoritative guidance that establishes a formal framework for measuring fair values of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements that are already required by generally accepted accounting principles to be measured at fair value. The guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The transaction is based on a hypothetical transaction in the principal or most advantageous market considered from the perspective of the market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability.

The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants who are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. The Company attempts to utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

F-13

The Company is able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The guidance establishes a formal fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 measurements and the lowest priority to level 3 measurements, and accordingly, Level 1 measurement should be used whenever possible.

The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities or published net asset value for alternative investments with characteristics similar to a mutual fund.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The methods used may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while management believes its valuation methods are appropriate, the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a difference fair value measurement at the reporting date. There were no changes in the Company’s valuation methodologies from the prior year.

For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying amounts for financial assets and liabilities such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable - trade, contract assets, factoring reserve, other prepaid expenses and current assets, accounts payable – trade and other current liabilities, including contract liabilities, convertible notes, promissory notes, all approximate fair value due to their short-term nature as of May 31, 2024, and May 31, 2023. The carrying amount of the long-term debt approximates fair value because the interest rates on these instruments approximate the interest rate on debt with similar terms available to the Company. Lease liabilities approximate fair value based on the incremental borrowing rate used to discount future cash flows. The Company had Level 3 liabilities, (Derivative liabilities Note) as of May 31, 2024 and May 31, 2023. There were no transfers between levels during the reporting period.

Convertible Preferred Stock

Convertible Preferred Stock Series A, C and D feature an anti-dilution provision that expires on a specified date. Management has determined the anti-dilution provision embedded in preferred stock Series A, C and D is required to be accounted for separately from the preferred stock as a derivative liability and recorded at fair value. Separation of the anti-dilution option as a derivative liability is required because its economic characteristics are considered more akin to a debt instrument and therefore the anti-dilution option is not considered to be clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the preferred stock.

F-14

The underlying value of the anti-dilution provision is calculated from estimating the probability and value of the provision assuming a near term financing event. For the year ended May 31, 2024, based on the assumption of how antidilutive shares of Convertible Preferred Series A, C and D would be exchanged in the near future for common stock, and the fact that the antidilution provision of these shares is effective through December 31, 2024, the assumptions include probability of the financing event, estimated value of common stock at the exchange point and estimated time to financing event.

The key inputs into the model were as follows:

SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE ASSUMPTION

	May 31, 2024			May 31, 2023
Risk-free interest rate		4.96	%		5.5	%
Probability of financing event or capital raise		50	%		90	%
Estimated capital raise		22.5 million			39.0 million
Estimated equity value or common stock	$	73.6 million			10.00 per share
Estimated time to financing event		1.75 years			0.42 years

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method of accounting. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, the tax effect of loss carry forwards and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized.

The Company uses a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain income tax positions (tax contingencies). The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Basic Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, including warrants exercisable for less than a penny, (the denominator) during the period. Income available to common stockholders shall be computed by deducting both the dividends declared in the period on preferred stock (whether or not paid) and the dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock (whether or not earned) from net income.

The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent shares issuance arrangement, preferred stock, stock options or warrants.
