NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2024
NOTE 1 -Business Description and Going Concern
The Company 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. (“Sigma”).
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”).
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. (“NTH”) incorporated October 22, 2015, and Extraordinary Vacations USA, Inc. incorporated on June 24, 2002.
Prior to the Exchange Agreement as described below, NTH was a wholly owned subsidiary of NextTrip Group, LLC (“NTG”), which in turn, was a wholly owned subsidiary of NextPlay Technologies, Inc. (“NextPlay”). All of the business operations of NTG were conducted through its subsidiaries. On January 25, 2023, NextPlay and NTG 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 NTG. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, NextPlay exchanged 1,000,000 Membership Units of NTG for 400,000 Preferred Units of NTG, with a value of $10 per unit. Prior to the exchange for Preferred Units, NTG had a payable due to NextPlay of $17,295,873, representing cash advances and payment of expenses by NextPlay on behalf of NTG, while NextPlay had obligations to provide ongoing support to NTH. 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 NTH 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 (“NXT2.0”), 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, the Company (f/k/a Sigma) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (as amended, the “Exchange Agreement”) with NTH, NTG, and William Kerby (the “NextTrip Representative”). Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the parties agreed that NTG would sell and transfer to the Company all of the issued and outstanding shares of NTH 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 the Company’s 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 NTG, 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, NTH became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Contingent Shares, together with the Closing Shares, will not exceed 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s 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 NTG 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 NTH by the Company, whereby the Company is treated as the legal acquirer and NTH is treated as the accounting acquirer. As a result, the historical financial information presented is that of NTH.
As of November 30, 2024, three of the four business milestones had been achieved as further described in Note 2 under “Loss Per Share” below. As a result,4,393,993 of the contingent shares were eligible to be issued. The remaining 1,450,000 contingent shares will be eligible for issue upon the launch of the Travel Agent platform.
Despite having achieved three of the four business milestones, the Company cannot issue the contingent shares without risk of the Company’s common stock being suspended from trading and delisted until Nasdaq approves the Company’s initial listing application, which is pending with Nasdaq. The Company has been advised by Nasdaq that issuing the contingent shares prior to approval of the application will result in the immediate delisting of the Company, as such issuance will trigger a change in control. The Company intends to issue said securities as soon as Nasdaq has cleared its application.
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 (NTH), 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:
| (a) | The assets and liabilities of the legal subsidiary recognized and measured at their pre-combination carrying amounts; |
| (b) | The assets and liabilities of the legal parent recognized and measured in accordance with the guidance in this topic applicable to business combinations (ASC 805); |
| (c) | The retained earnings and other equity balances of the legal subsidiary before the business combination; |
| (d) | The amount required to be recognized as issued equity interests in the consolidated financial statements determined by adding the issued equity interest of the legal subsidiary outstanding immediately before the business combination to the fair value of the legal parent determined in accordance with the guidance in ASC 805 applicable to business combinations. However, the equity structure reflects the equity structure of the legal parent, including the equity interests the legal parent issued to affect the combination. Accordingly, the equity structure of the legal subsidiary is restated using the exchange ratio established in the acquisition agreement to reflect the number of shares of the legal parent issued in the reverse acquisition. |
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 November 30, 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 November 30, 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
Pursuant to the terms of the Promissory Note (the “NextPlay Note”) between NextTrip and NextPlay, the NextPlay Note was due and payable in full on the earlier of September 1, 2023 or the date the Company completed a financing of $10 million or more. No payments have been made by NextPlay, and as such NextPlay is in default under the terms of the NextPlay Note.
The Company has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with NextPlay, whereby the Company has agreed to forgive the entire amount due under the NextPlay Note in exchange for the cancellation of the 400,000 Preferred Units of NTG issued to them as described in Note 1. The Preferred Units are convertible into 500,000 NextTrip, Inc. common shares, of which 13,001 such common shares were issued as Closing Shares on December 29, 2023. The Company has a commitment from a third party to purchase all 500,000 shares at a price of $2.00 per share. As a result, the since Company can realize a minimum of $1,000,000 from NextPlay’s sale of the common shares, a valuation allowance of $1,567,665 was established as of February 29, 2024. The Company is in the process of negotiating a second offer to purchase the shares, and therefore has not closed the transaction with NextPlay. The Company expects to close one of the transaction options before year-end. During the three and nine months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, there was no bad debt expense recorded related to the allowance account, and the allowance is unchanged as of November 30, 2024. As of November 30, 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 November 30, 2024 and 2023 the Company had the following common shares underlying these instruments:
| November 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Warrants | 679,737 | - |
| Stock Options | 78,867 | - |
| Preferred Stock | 228,514 | - |
| Total Underlying Common Shares | 987,118 | - |
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 three and nine months ended November 30, 2024, and 2023:
| Three Months Ended November 30, | Nine Months Ended November 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |

| Gain (loss) from discontinued operations applicable to common stockholders | 566 | - | 8,344 | - |
| Net loss applicable to common stockholders | $(2,019,951) | $(1,308,262) | $(5,554,694) | (3,564,396) |
| Weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in loss per share during the period (denominator) | 5,811,765 | 83,371 | 4,116,003 | 83,371 |
On June 10, 2024, the Company determined that three of the four business milestones per the Share Exchange Agreement had been achieved. As a result,4,393,993 of the total contingent shares of 5,843,993 became eligible for issuance. Pursuant to ASC 260, as there are no circumstances under which the shares will not be issued, such eligible contingent shares are included in the computation of basic earnings per share. The following table shows the business milestones and the issuable contingent shares:
| Business Milestones | Contingent Shares |
|---|---|
| Achieved | |
| Launch of leisure travel booking platform | 1,450,000 |
| Launch of group travel booking platform | 1,450,000 |
| Launch of FlexPay technology | 1,493,993 |
| Total contingent shares issuable on June 10, 2024 | 4,393,993 |
| Not Achieved | |
| Launch of travel agent platform | 1,450,000 |
| Total contingent shares potentially issuable in future periods | 1,450,000 |
| Total contingent shares | 5,843,993 |
The following table shows the reconciliation of the weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2024 to the weighted average common shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share:
| Weighted Average Number of Common Shares | ||
|---|---|---|
| Three Months Ended November 30, 2024 | Nine Months Ended November 30, 2024 | |
| 1,429,492 common shares outstanding | 1,417,772 | 1,351,782 |
| 4,393,993 issuable contingent shares | 4,393,993 | 2,764,221 |
| Weighted average common shares outstanding | 5,811,765 | 4,116,003 |
The issuable contingent shares are of the Company’s sole class of common stock, and as such have the same rights and privileges as existing common stock.
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 November 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase 679,737 shares of common stock, stock options exercisable for 78,867 shares of common stock,316 shares of Series E Preferred Stock, which could be converted into 3,310 shares of common stock,33,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock, convertible into 33,000 shares of common stock, and 192,204 shares of Series I Preferred Stock, convertible into 192,204 shares of common stock, resulting in a potential total additional 987,118 shares of common stock outstanding in the future. At November 30, 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:
| ● | The Company is primarily responsible for fulling the promise to provide such travel product. |
| ● | The Company has inventory risk before the specified travel product has been transferred to a customer or after transfer of control to a customer. |
| ● | The Company has discretion in establishing the price for the specified travel product. |
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 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 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 nine months ended November 30, 2024. Rent expense for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2023 totaled $48,245 and $123,092, 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 nine months ended November 30, 2024 was $2,200 and $5,500, 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 fiscal quarter of 2025, 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.

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 225,520 and 472,996 shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding at November 30, 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 November 30, 2024,316 shares of the issued Series E Convertible Preferred Stock were outstanding, which if converted as of November 30, 2024, including the make-whole dividends, would have resulted in the issuance of 3,310 shares of common stock.

NOTE 9 -Subsequent Events
Forbearance Agreement
On December 9, 2024, the Company and NextTrip Holdings, Inc. (“NTH”), entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement) related to the issuance of certain contingent shares (the “Contingent Shares”) of Company common stock issuable upon NTH earning certain milestones as provided in that certain share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) entered into by and among the Company, NTH and NextTrip Group, LLC (“NTG”), the sole stockholder of NTH, and the NTH shareholder representative, pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of NTH (the “Acquisition”) in exchange for shares of Company common stock, (the “Exchange Shares”). As a result, NTH became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company as of December 29, 2023 (the “Closing Date”).
Upon the closing of the Acquisition, the members of NTG were issued a number of Exchange Shares equal to 19.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock immediately prior to the Closing Date. Under the Share Exchange Agreement, the NTG Sellers are also entitled to receive additional Contingent Shares, subject to NTH’s achievement of future business milestones specified in the Share Exchange Agreement.
Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, whether a Milestone Event is met and the Contingent Shares are issuable is to be determined by the Company and NTH on a mutually agreeable date (each a “Milestone Payment Determination Date”) no later than thirty (30) days following notice by NTH to the Company that such Milestone Event has been met. If Contingent Shares are determined to be issuable, the Company is required to issue additional Contingent Shares within 60 days following each Milestone Payment Determination Date.
To date, no Contingent Shares have been issued. NTH believes, and the Company does not dispute, that 3 of the 4 milestones have been met as of the date hereof but that, as a result of delays with the Company’s Form S-1 registration statement and the Company’s pending initial listing application with Nasdaq (the “Regulatory Delays”), NTH has not sent formal notice to the Company because doing so without the approval of Nasdaq’s initial listing application could trigger a delisting and suspension of trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq.
Due to the indefinite delays caused by regulatory matters and NTH desire to receive the Contingent Shares earned to date, NTH has expressed an intent to the Company to deliver formal notice that such Milestone Events have been met. However, due to the fact that such issuance could trigger consequences to all Parties involved, NTH and the Company have negotiated a Forbearance Agreement, whereby NTH agrees to forbear from issuing the Milestone Payment Determination Date notice until January 31, 2025 or earlier in the event of a default (the “Forbearance Expiration Date”) in exchange for an agreement by the Company that, if such Nasdaq initial listing application is not approved by such date that, (i) all such earned Contingent Shares will be issued withing five (5) business days of the Forbearance Expiration Date and (ii) all such board appointment rights will be exercised and such members will be approved within five (5) business days of the Forbearance Expiration Date.
