NOTE 1 -Business Description and Going Concern

Sigma Additive Solutions, Inc. (“Sigma”), the legal acquiror of NextTrip, was initially incorporated as Messidor Limited in Nevada on December 23, 1985, and changed its name to Framewaves Inc. in 2001. On September 27, 2010, the name was changed to Sigma Labs, Inc. On May 17, 2022, Sigma Labs, Inc. began doing business as Sigma Additive Solutions, and on August 9, 2022, changed its name to Sigma Additive Solutions, Inc.

On March 11, 2024, Sigma filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, pursuant to which, effective as of 12:01 a.m. Pacific time on March 13, 2024, among other things, Sigma’s corporate name was changed from Sigma Additive Solutions, Inc. to “NextTrip, Inc.”

The Company’s corporate office is located at 3900 Paseo del Sol, Santa Fe, NM 87507 The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, NextTrip Holdings Inc. incorporated October 22, 2015, and Extraordinary Vacations USA, Inc. incorporated on June 24, 2002.

Prior to the Exchange Agreement as described below, NextTrip Holdings, Inc. (“NextTrip”) was a wholly owned subsidiary of NextTrip Group, LLC (“Group”), which in turn, was a wholly owned subsidiary of NextPlay Technologies, Inc. (“NextPlay”). All of the business operations of Group were conducted through its subsidiaries. On January 25, 2023, NextPlay and Group entered into an Amended and Restated Separation Agreement (“Separation Agreement”), Amended and Restated Operating Agreement (“Operating Agreement”), and Exchange Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”, and together, the “Agreements”), whereby NextPlay transferred their interest in the travel business to Group. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, NextPlay exchanged 1,000,000 Membership Units of Group for 400,000 Preferred Units of Group, with a value of $10 per unit. Prior to the exchange for Preferred Units, Group had a payable due to NextPlay of $17,295,873, representing cash advances and payment of expenses by NextPlay on behalf of Group, while NextPlay had obligations to provide ongoing support to NextTrip. Such liability was settled by the issuance of the Preferred Units and the waiver of all of NextPlay’s ongoing support obligations except for a $1.5 million advance remaining under a promissory note and as such NextTrip recorded the payable as contributed capital.

The Company provides travel technology solutions with sales originating in the United States, with a primary emphasis on hotels, air, and all-inclusive travel packages. Our proprietary booking engine, branded as NextTrip 2.0, provides travel distributors access to a sizeable inventory.

The Company owns 50% of Next Innovation LLC (Joint Venture) and this entity is in the process of a first structure plan. No activities nor operations occurred in 2023 or 2024 for this entity, and NextTrip, Inc. does not have control of the company and therefore no minority interest was recorded.

Reverse Acquisition

On October 12, 2023, Sigma entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (as amended, the “Exchange Agreement”) with NextTrip, Group, and William Kerby (the “NextTrip Representative”). Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the parties agreed that Group would sell and transfer to Sigma all of the issued and outstanding shares of NextTrip in exchange for 156,007 restricted shares of Sigma common stock (the “Closing Shares”), issuable at closing, and the right to receive up to an additional 5,843,993 restricted shares of Sigma common stock upon satisfaction of certain milestones set forth in the Exchange Agreement (the “Contingent Shares,” and together with the Closing Shares, the “Restricted Shares”), which Restricted Shares are issuable to the members of Group, on a pro rata basis, under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, subject to certain closing conditions (the “Acquisition”). Upon the closing of the Acquisition on December 29, 2023, NextTrip became a wholly owned subsidiary of Sigma.

The Contingent Shares, together with the Closing Shares, will not exceed 6,000,000 shares of Sigma common stock, or approximately 90.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of Sigma common stock immediately prior to the closing. The Acquisition will likely result in a change of control, with the members of Group receiving an aggregate number of shares that exceeds the number of shares that held by the legacy shareholders of Sigma. As a result, the Acquisition is accounted for as a reverse acquisition of NextTrip by Sigma, whereby Sigma is treated as the legal acquirer and NextTrip is treated as the accounting acquirer. As a result, the historical financial information presented is that of NextTrip.

In accordance with ASC805-40-45-1, the consolidated financial statements prepared following a reverse acquisition are issued under the name of the legal parent (NextTrip, Inc., f/k/a Sigma Additive Solutions, Inc.) but described in the notes to the financial statements as a continuation of the financial statements of the legal subsidiary (NextTrip), withone adjustment, which is to retroactively adjust the accounting acquirer’s legal capital to reflect the legal capital of the accounting acquiree. That adjustment is required to reflect the capital of the legal parent. Comparative information presented in the consolidated financial statements also is retroactively adjusted to reflect the legal capital of the legal parent.

Under ASC805-40-45-2, the consolidated financial statements represent the continuation of the legal subsidiary except for the capital structure, as follows:

The assets and liabilities of Sigma Additive Solutions, Inc. were recognized at fair value pursuant to ASC 805.

Going Concern– The Company has sustained losses and had negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception.

The Company currently does not have sufficient cash and working capital to fund its operations and will require additional funding in the public or private markets in the near-term to be able to continue operations. The Company currently has no understanding or agreement to obtain such funding, and there is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding. If we fail to obtain sufficient funding when needed, we will be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate all or a portion of our commercialization efforts and operations. As a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America. The financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis with those of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at August 31, 2024 and 2023 and for the periods then ended have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The Company suggests these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the February 29, 2024 audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 4, 2024. The results of operations for the period ended August 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the net earnings (loss) or financial position.

Promissory Note Receivable

NextPlay is in default under the terms of its promissory note to NextTrip, and as a result, an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,567,665 was established as of February 29, 2024, as collectability of the entire receivable is uncertain. During the three and six months ended August 31, 2024, and 2023, there wasno bad debt expense recorded related to the allowance account, and the allowance is unchanged as of August 31, 2024. As of August 31, 2023, no allowance for doubtful accounts was established.

Loss Per Share – The computation of loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period in accordance with ASC Topic No. 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Shares underlying the Company’s outstanding warrants, options and preferred stock were excluded due to the anti-dilutive effect they would have on the computation. At August 31, 2024 and 2023 the Company had the following common shares underlying these instruments:

The following table shows the amounts used in computing loss per share and the effect on net loss and the weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common stock for the periods three and six months ended August 31, 2024, and 2023:

Dilutive loss per share was not presented, as the Company’s outstanding warrants, stock options and preferred stock common equivalent shares for the periods presented would have had an anti-dilutive effect. At August 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase 484,063 shares of common stock, stock options exercisable for 78,877 shares of common stock,316 shares of Series E Preferred Stock, which could be converted into 3,259 shares of common stock,33,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock, convertible into 33,000 shares of common stock, and 59,979 shares of Series I Preferred Stock, convertible into 59,979 shares of common stock, resulting in a potential total additional 659,178 shares of common stock outstanding in the future. At August 31, 2023, the Company hadno outstanding potentially dilutive securities.

Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated by management. Significant accounting estimates that may materially change in the near future are impairment of long-lived assets, values of stock compensation awards and stock equivalents granted as offering costs, and allowance for bad debts and inventory obsolescence.

**Revenue Recognition–**The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic No. 606. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that superseded nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under prior U.S. GAAP and replaced it with a principles-based approach for determining revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is the recognition of revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In general, we determine revenue recognition by: (1) identifying the contract, or contracts, with our customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services.

The Company recognizes revenue when the customer has purchased the product, the occurrence of the earlier of date of travel or the date of cancellation has expired, as satisfaction of the performance obligation, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue for customer travel packages purchased directly from the Company is recorded gross (the amount paid to the Company by the customer is shown as revenue and the cost of providing the respective travel package is recorded to cost of revenues).

The Company generates revenues from sales directly to customers as well as through other distribution channels of tours and activities at destinations throughout the world.

The Company controls the specified travel product before it is transferred to the customer and is therefore a principal, based on but not limited to, the following:

Payments for tours or activities received in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue at the earlier of the date of travel or the last date of cancellation (i.e., the customer’s refund privileges lapse).

NOTE 3 –Intangible Assets

Intangible assets as of August 31, 2024, and February 29, 2024 consisted of the following:

Amortization expense for the six months ended August 31, 2024, and 2023 was $383,061 and $657,389, respectively.

During the three and six months ended August 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company recordedno impairment losses associated with the carrying value exceeding its recoverable amount.

The estimated aggregate amortization expense for years ending February 28 is as follows:

NOTE 4 –Goodwill

The legal acquisition of NextTrip Holdings, Inc. by Sigma Additive Solutions, Inc. on December 29, 2023 was determined to be a reverse acquisition, with NextTrip as the accounting acquirer, using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Under this method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of consummation of the transaction.

Pursuant to ASC 350-20, the Company assigned its goodwill to reporting units and is required to test each reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment at least on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The goodwill resulting from the reverse acquisition is primarily attributable to NextTrip’s objective to obtain access to public markets to provide funding wherewithal to fund business growth. NextTrip’s benefit in paying for these synergies in the reverse acquisition transaction are to avoid the time and expense of organizing and executing an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) transaction. In the reverse acquisition, $1,167,805 of goodwill was allocated to the NextTrip Reporting Unit under the acquisition method of accounting.

NOTE 5 -Related Party Transactions

On March 18, 2024, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, NextTrip, entered into an unsecured promissory note for a line of credit with Donald Monaco and William Kerby, the Company’s Chairman of the board of directors and Chief Executive Officer, respectively, for the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 with an initial advance of $125,000, provided that the aggregate principal amount of the note does not exceed $500,000 at any time. Under the terms of the note, advances under the line of credit may be made at the Company’s request until August 31, 2024. The note bears an annual interest rate of 7.5% and matures on February 28, 2025, and may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity without penalty.

On April 23, 2024, the Company’s board of directors approved the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, NextTrip, to enter into a series of unsecured promissory notes with certain related parties, including investors, directors, officers and employees, who may individually provide funds for the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000. The notes bear an annual interest rate of 7.5% and shall mature one year from the date of each note’s execution, and may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity without penalty. On August 14, 2024, at a joint meeting of the Audit Committee and the board of directors, the directors unanimously approved an increase in the principal amount of the related party line of credit to $2,000,000 on the same terms and conditions as previously approved. As of August 31, 2024, $1,411,414 had been advanced to the Company.

On May 21, 2024, NextTrip issued an unsecured promissory note, in the principal amount of $455,000 (the “Promissory Note”), to Mr. Monaco to memorialize the terms and conditions of certain working capital advances made by Mr. Monaco to NextTrip. As of August 31, 2024, the outstanding principal balance of the Line of Credit Promissory Note was $405,000. The Promissory Note accrues interest at a rate equal to 7.5% simple interest per annum, and will automatically mature and become due and payable in full on February 28, 2025, subject to certain limited exceptions. The Promissory Note, or any portion thereof, may be prepaid by NextTrip without any penalty. Mr. Monaco serves as Chairman of the Company’s board of directors. The Promissory Note was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, including the independent members thereof.

The total amounts due to related parties at August 31, 2024 and February 29, 2024 totaled $2,718,594 and $828,277, respectively.

NOTE 6 –Notes Payable

On May 24, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note for $100,000 to an investor upon receipt of proceeds. The note bears an annual interest rate of 7.5% and will mature and be due and payable on the earlier date of the completion of a public financing or October 31, 2024, unless extended by the written consent of the investor. The note can be prepaid at any time by the Company without penalty.

On July 11, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note for $40,000 to an investor upon receipt of proceeds. The note bears an annual interest rate of 7.5% and will mature and be due and payable on June 25, 2025, unless extended by the written consent of the investor.

NOTE 7 -Leases

On January 25, 2023, as part of the separation agreement with NextPlay Technologies Inc., the Company assumed control of a lease arrangement for office space in Florida.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 (Topic ASC 842) Leases, which requires a lessee to recognize a lease asset and a leases liability for operating leases arrangements greater than twelve (12) months.

We determined that the arrangement was an operating lease at inception and included it in operating lease ROU assets, operating lease liabilities - current, and operating lease liabilities - noncurrent on the balance sheet as of February 28, 2023. The office facility was occupied by NextTrip employees through March 16, 2023, when the landlord informed NextTrip that it would not recognize NextTrip as the tenant. The Company continued to negotiate the assumption of the lease with the landlord, but was ultimately unsuccessful, and as a result derecognized the lease in the financial statements as of February 29, 2024. No restatement was made for fiscal year 2023 as the Company had use of the offices at that time and was in negotiations to assume the lease from NextPlay Technologies, Inc. No payments have been made on the lease and no expense has been recognized for the three and six months ended August 31, 2024. Rent expense for the three and six months ended August 31, 2023 totaled $37,822 and $74,847, respectively.

The Company leases approximately 350 square feet of space for its principal executive offices at 3900 Paseo del Sol, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87507. The lease has a 6-month term which ends on December 31, 2024. The landlord can terminate the lease upon 30 days written notice and NextTrip can terminate the lease upon 45 days written notice. Therefore, the Company has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption, whereby leases are not recorded on the Company’s balance sheet and lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Rent expense related to this lease for the three and six months ended August 31, 2024 was $1,650 and $3,300, respectively, and $0 for the same periods in 2023.

NOTE 8 -Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

On March 8, 2024, at a special meeting of stockholders, the Company received approval to increase its authorized shares of common stock from 1,200,000 to 250,000,000 (the “Increase in Authorized”). On March 11, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, pursuant to which, effective as of 12:01 a.m. Pacific time on March 13, 2024, the Increase in Authorized was implemented.

In the first quarter of 2024, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock upon conversion of 100,000 shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock,117,000 shares of common stock upon conversion of 117,000 shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, and 192,502 shares of common stock upon conversion of 192,502 shares of Series I Convertible Preferred Stock.

In the second quarter of 2024, the Company issued 42,709 shares of common stock to a service provider as partial compensation for development work related to Compass.tv, the Company’s Free-Ad Supported TV (“FAST”) channel.

Preferred Stock

Under our amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended (“Articles”), our board of directors has the authority, without further action by stockholders, to designate one or more series of preferred stock and to fix the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights granted to or imposed upon the preferred stock, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, liquidation preference and sinking fund terms, any or all of which may be preferential to or greater than the rights of the common stock.

Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control and may adversely affect the market price of the common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock.

The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value. An aggregate of 93,295 and 472,996 shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding at August 31, 2024 and February 29, 2024, respectively.

Series E Convertible Preferred Stock

Under the Certificate of Designations for the Series E Preferred Stock, the Series E Preferred Shares have an initial stated value of $1,500 per share (the “Stated Value”). Dividends at the initial rate of 9% per annum will accrue and, on a monthly basis, shall be payable in kind by the increase of the Stated Value of the Series E Preferred Stock by said amount. The holders of the Series E Preferred Shares have the right at any time to convert all or a portion of the Series E Preferred Shares (including, without limitation, accrued and unpaid dividends and make-whole dividends through the third anniversary of the closing date) into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion rate determined by dividing the Conversion Amount by the Conversion Price ($0.13 above the consolidated closing bid price for the trading day prior to the execution of the relates stock purchase agreement). The Conversion Amount is the sum of the Stated Value of the Series E Preferred Shares then being converted plus any other unpaid amounts payable with respect to the Series E Preferred Shares being converted, plus the “Make Whole Amount” (the amount of any dividends that, but for the conversion, would have accrued at the dividend rate for the period through the third anniversary of the initial issuance date). The Conversion Rate is also subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends recapitalizations and similar events.

At August 31, 2024,316 shares of the issued Series E Convertible Preferred Stock were outstanding, which if converted as of August 31, 2024, including the make-whole dividends, would have resulted in the issuance of 3,259 shares of common stock.

On such date that the Company amends its Articles to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance thereunder, to at least the extent required to convert all of the outstanding shares of Series I Preferred, each outstanding share of Series I Preferred shall automatically be converted into one share of Company common stock (subject to adjustment under certain limited circumstances) (the “Series I Conversion Ratio”).

Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, holders of Series I Preferred will be entitled to participate, on an as-converted-to-common stock basis calculated based on the Series I Conversion Ratio, with holders of Company common stock in any distribution of assets of the Company to holders of the Company’s common stock.

Stock options are typically granted throughout the year and generally vest over a period from one to three years of service and expire five years from the grant date, unless otherwise specified. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of the stock options over the vesting period for each stock option award.

Stock Appreciation Rights

The purposes of the 2020 Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (the “SAR Plan”) are to: (i) enable the Company to attract and retain the types of employees, consultants, and directors (collectively, “Service Providers”) who will contribute to the Company’s long-range success; (ii) provide incentives that align the interests of Service Providers with those of the stockholders of the Company; and (iii) promote the success of the Company’s business. The SAR Plan provides for incentive awards only in the form of stock appreciation rights payable in cash (“SARs”) and no shares of common stock are reserved or will be issued pursuant to the SAR Plan.

SARs may be granted to any Service Provider. A SAR is the right to receive an amount equal to the Spread with respect to a share of the Company’s common stock (“Share”) upon the exercise of the SAR. The “Spread” is the difference between the exercise price per share specified in a SAR agreement on the date of grant and the fair market value per share on the date of exercise of the SAR. The exercise price per share will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant of the SAR. The administrator of the SAR Plan will have the authority to, among other things, prescribe the terms and conditions of each SAR, including, without limitation, the exercise price and vesting provisions, and to specify the provisions of the SAR Agreement relating to such grant.

The Company did not grant any SAR’s during the six months ended August 31, 2024 or August 31, 2023.

The Company recognizes compensation expense and a corresponding liability for the fair value of the SARs over the vesting period for each SAR award. The SARs are revalued at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” and any changes in fair value are reflected in the Statement of Operations as of the applicable reporting date.

SARs activity for the six months ended August 31, 2024 and the year ended February 29, 2024 was as follows:

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the market price of our common stock for those awards that have an exercise price below the market price of our common stock. At August 31, 2024, no SAR had an exercise price below the $2.59 closing price of our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

At August 31, 2024, there was $943 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested SARs with a weighted average remaining recognition period of 0.64 years.
