9A. Controls and Procedures.
Management’s
Conclusions Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports
we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules
and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer
and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our
disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated,
can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in
evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.
Our
management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will
be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls
must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can
provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include
the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The
design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no
assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

As
of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”), the Company conducted an evaluation of its
disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2021, due to our limited internal audit functions and lack of ability to
have multiple levels of transaction review. As defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, the term “disclosure
controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported,
within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits
under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Certifying Officers, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The
Company intends to address the foregoing deficiency by upgrading its accounting software to an ERP (“Enterprise Resource Planning”),
a cloud-based solution, which would add the necessary controls to manage day to day activities such as accounting, procurement, project
management, risk management and compliance as well as to automate the consolidation process of its entities, adding a level of reliability
to the Company’s financial reporting. The Company proposes to add personnel to address the lack of ability to have multiple level
transaction review. Management is addressing these steps immediately and has executed an agreement on August 11, 2021, to start implementation
of replacing its current software to an ERP cloud-based solution. Management anticipates the new ERP solution to be fully operational
by the end of the 2022 fiscal year.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management is also required to assess and report on the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Management assessed the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). During our assessment
of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, management identified significant deficiencies
related to (i) our internal audit functions and (ii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions. Therefore, our internal
controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2021.
Management
has determined that our internal audit function is significantly deficient due to insufficient qualified resources to perform internal
audit functions.
Due
to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible or economically feasible. However, to
the extent possible, we will implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording
of transactions will be performed by separate individuals.
We
believe that the foregoing steps will remediate the significant deficiency identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness
of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate. Due to the nature of this significant deficiency in our internal
control over financial reporting, there is more than a remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to our annual or
interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.
A
material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a deficiency, or a 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. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies,
in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by
those responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation
of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

This Annual Report on
Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules the SEC
that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes
in Internal Controls
There
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021, that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Incentive
Plans
2018
Incentive Plan
On
June 14, 2018, our Board of Directors approved the 2018 Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The purpose of the 2018 Plan is
to provide a means for the Company to continue to attract, motivate and retain management, key employees, consultants and other independent
contractors, and to provide these individuals with greater incentive for their service to the Company by linking their interests in the
Company’s success with those of the Company and its shareholders. An award may also be granted to any consultant, agent, advisor
or independent contractor for bona fide services rendered to the Company or any Related Company (as defined in the 2018 Plan) that; are
not in connection with the offer and sale of the Company’s securities in a capital raising transaction, and do not directly or
indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company’s securities. The 2018 Plan is administered by the Board its Compensation
Committee and may grant Options designated as Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options. The 2018 Plan provides that up to
a maximum of 13,333 shares of the Company’s common stock (subject to adjustment) are available for issuance under the 2018 Plan.
Subject to earlier termination in accordance with the terms of the 2018 Plan and the instrument evidencing the option, the maximum term
of an incentive stock option shall not exceed ten years, and in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder
(as defined in the 2018 Plan), shall not exceed five years. Any portion of an option that is not vested and exercisable on the date of
a plan participant’s Termination of Service (as defined in the 2018 Plan) shall expire on such date. In the event of a Change in
Control (as defined in the 2018 Plan); all outstanding awards, other than performance shares and performance units, shall become fully
and immediately exercisable, and all applicable deferral and restriction limitations or forfeiture provisions shall lapse, immediately
prior to the Change in Control and shall terminate at the effective time of the Change in Control; provided, however, that with respect
to a Change in Control that is a Company Transaction (as defined in the 2018 Plan), such awards shall become fully and immediately exercisable,
and all applicable deferral and restriction limitations or forfeiture provisions shall lapse, only if and to the extent such awards are
not converted, assumed or replaced by the Successor Company (as defined in the 2018 Plan.
Amended
and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan
On
August 21, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and adopted the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020
Plan”) in order to provide a means for the Company to continue to attract, motivate and retain management, key employees, directors
and consultants. On December 31, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and adopted an amendment that increased the number
of shares available for issuance under the 2020 Plan from 450,000 shares to 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. On August
10, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors further amended the 2020 Plan and adopted and approved an Amended and Restated 2020
Equity Incentive Plan (the “A&R 2020 Plan”), in order to, among other things: (i) clarify that the exercise price of
stock options will be set at “Fair Market Value,” and (ii) make conforming revision to reflect the 1-for-5 reverse split
that was effective on May 28, 2021. The A&R 2020 Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders on December 16, 2021, at the
Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
The
A&R 2020 Plan provides for discretionary awards of, among others, stock options, stock awards, stock unit awards and stock appreciation
rights to participants. Each award made under the A&R 2020 Plan will be evidenced by a written award agreement specifying the terms
and conditions of the award as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, consistent with the terms of the A&R 2020 Plan.
All employees, directors, and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards under the A&R 2020 Plan.
The
A&R 2020 Plan is administered by the “Committee” which is defined in the A&R 2020 Plan as the Compensation Committee
of the Board or such other committee as may be designated by the Board from time to time to administer the Plan, or, if no such committee
has been designated at the time of any grants, it shall mean the Board.
The
number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the A&R 2020 Plan is 800,000. Shares issuable under the A&R 2020 Plan
may be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. If there is a lapse, forfeiture, expiration, termination or cancellation of
any award made under the A&R 2020 Plan for any reason, the shares subject to the award will again be available for issuance. Any
shares subject to an award that are delivered to us by a participant, or withheld by us on behalf of a participant, as payment for an
award or payment of withholding taxes due in connection with an award will not again be available for issuance, and all such shares will
count toward the number of shares issued under the A&R 2020 Plan. The number of common shares issuable under the A&R 2020 Plan
is subject to adjustment, in the event of any reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock distribution, merger, consolidation,
split-up, spin-off, combination, subdivision, consolidation or exchange of shares, any change in the capital structure of the company
or any similar corporate transaction. In each case, the Committee has the discretion to make adjustments it deems necessary to preserve
the intended benefits under the A&R 2020 Plan. No award granted under the A&R 2020 Plan may be transferred, except by will, the
laws of descent and distribution.
The
maximum number of shares subject to Awards granted under the A&R 2020 Plan or otherwise during any one calendar year to any Director
for service on the Board (other than to Mr. Phipps and the Company’s CEO and President, if serving on the Board, to whom no annual
limit is applicable), taken together with any cash fees paid by the Company to such Director during such calendar year for service on
the Board, will not exceed $100,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the grant date fair value or such
value as determined by the Board, at its discretion, of such Awards for financial reporting purposes).
61
The
Committee may amend any award agreement at any time, provided that no amendment may adversely affect the right of any participant under
any agreement in any material way without the written consent of the participant, unless such amendment is required by applicable law,
regulation or stock exchange rule. The Board may terminate, suspend or amend the A&R 2020 Plan, in whole or in part, from time to
time, without the approval of the shareholders, unless such approval is required by applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule,
and provided that no amendment may adversely affect the right of any participant under any outstanding award in any material way without
the written consent of the participant, unless such amendment is required by applicable law, regulation or rule of any stock exchange
on which the shares are listed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the A&R 2020 Plan nor any outstanding award agreement can
be amended in a way that results in the repricing of a stock option. Repricing is broadly defined to include reducing the exercise price
of a stock option or cancelling a stock option in exchange for cash, other stock options with a lower exercise price or other stock awards.
No awards may be granted under the A&R 2020 Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the A&R 2020 Plan.
2021
Incentive Award Plan
The
Company’s Board of Directors approved and adopted the 2021 Incentive Award Plan (“2021 Plan”), subject to stockholder
approval, on August 10, 2021. The 2021 Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders on December 16, 2021, at the Company’s
2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
The
purpose of the 2021 Plan is to enhance the Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who make (or are expected
to make) important contributions to the Company and its subsidiaries by providing these individuals with equity ownership opportunities.
The
number of shares initially available for issuance under awards granted pursuant to the 2021 Plan is 768,819 shares of common stock. The
number of shares initially available for issuance will be increased on January 1 of each calendar year beginning in 2022 and ending in
2031, by an amount equal to the lesser (A) an amount such that the resulting sum (the new “Overall Share Limit”) is equal
to 12% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year and
(B) such smaller number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by the Board. Shares issued under the 2021 Plan may be authorized
but unissued shares, shares purchased in the open market or treasury shares. If an award under the 2021 Plan expires, lapses or is terminated,
exchanged for cash, surrendered to an exchange program, repurchased, cancelled without having been fully exercised or forfeited, any
shares subject to such award will, as applicable, become or again be available for new grants under the 2021 Plan.
All
employees, directors, and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards under the 2021 Plan. As of October
22, 2021, eighteen individuals are eligible to receive awards under the 2021 Plan.
The
2021 Plan is generally administered by the Board, which may delegate its duties and responsibilities to committees of Board and or officers
of the Company (referred to collectively as the “plan administrator”). The plan administrator will have the authority to
make all determinations and interpretations under, prescribe all forms for use with, and adopt rules for the administration of, the 2021
Plan, subject to its express terms and conditions. The plan administrator will also set the terms and conditions of all awards under
the 2021 Plan, including any vesting and vesting acceleration conditions. The plan administrator may also institute and determine the
terms and conditions of an “exchange program,” which could provide for the surrender or cancellation, transfer, or reduction
or increase of exercise price, of outstanding awards, subject to the limitations provided for in the Incentive Award Plan.
The
2021 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, including incentive stock options, or ISOs, and nonqualified stock options, or NSOs;
restricted stock; dividend equivalents; restricted stock units, or RSUs; stock appreciation rights, or SARs; and other stock or cash-based
awards. All awards under the 2021 Plan will be set forth in award agreements, which will detail the terms and conditions of the awards,
including any applicable vesting and payment terms and post-termination exercise limitations.
Other
Stock or Cash Based Awards may be granted to participants, including awards entitling participants to receive Shares to be delivered
in the future and including annual or other periodic or long-term cash bonus awards (whether based on specified performance criteria
or otherwise), in each case subject to any conditions and limitations in the 2021 Plan. The plan administrator will determine the terms
and conditions of other stock or cash-based awards.
62
Performance
awards include any of the foregoing awards that are granted subject to vesting and/or payment based on the attainment of specified performance
goals or other criteria the plan administrator may determine, which may or may not be objectively determinable. Performance criteria
upon which performance goals are established by the plan administrator.
In
connection with certain transactions and events affecting the Company’s Common Stock, including a change in control (as defined
in the 2021 Plan), or change in any applicable laws or accounting principles, the plan administrator has broad discretion to take action
under the 2021 Plan to prevent the dilution or enlargement of intended benefits, facilitate such transaction or event, or give effect
to such change in applicable laws or accounting principles. This includes canceling awards in exchange for either an amount in cash or
other property with a value equal to the amount that would have been obtained upon exercise or settlement of the vested portion of such
award or realization of the participant’s rights under the vested portion of such award, accelerating the vesting of awards, providing
for the assumption or substitution of awards by a successor entity, adjusting the number and type of shares available, replacing awards
with other rights or property and/or terminating awards under the 2021 Plan.
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control
In the event of a termination
of Mr. Fernandez’s or Mr. Phipps’ (the “Subject Employees”) employment as a result of his death or Total
Disability (as defined in the respective employment agreement) the Subject Employee or his estate or beneficiaries, as applicable, will
be entitled to the following severance benefits: (i) continued provision for a period of twelve (12) months following the Subject Employee’s
death or Total Disability of benefits under the Company’s benefit plans extended by the Company to its senior employees; and (ii)
payment on a pro-rated basis of any bonus or other payments earned prior to the date of termination in connection with any bonus plan
to which the Subject Employee was a participant as of the date of death or Total Disability.
In the event of a termination
of a Subject Employee’s employment due to the expiration of the term of the respective employment agreement, and where the Company
offered to renew the term of employment and the Subject Employee chooses not to continue in the employ of the Company, the Subject Employee
will not be entitled to any severance benefits.
Upon termination of employment
by the Subject Employee for “good reason” (as defined in the respective employment agreement) or if the Company tenders a
non-renewal notice to the Subject Employee without “Cause” (as defined in the respective employment agreement), then the
Subject Employee will be entitled to the following severance benefits: (i) a cash payment, based on the current scale of the Subject
Employee’s base salary, equal to six months of base salary; (ii) continued provision for a period of twelve (12) months after the
date of termination of the benefits under the Company’s benefit plans extended by the Company to its senior employees; (iii) payment
on a pro-rated basis of any bonus or other payments earned in connection with any bonus plan to which the Subject Employee was a participant
as of the date of the Subject Employee’s termination of employment; and (iv) any options or restricted stock will be immediately
vested upon termination of Subject Employee’s employment.
Upon termination of the Subject
Employee’s employment at the Subject Employee’s option (without good reason) or by the Company for “Cause,” then
the Subject Employee will be entitled to the following benefits: (i) continued provision, for a period of one (1) month after the date
of the Subject Employee’s termination of employment, of benefits under the Company’s benefit plans extended to the Employee
at the time of termination and (ii) any conversion rights available under the Company’s benefit plans and as otherwise provided
by law, including the Comprehensive Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act.
In addition, notwithstanding
the vesting schedule set forth in May Restricted Stock Agreement, full vesting of Mr. Fernandez’s RSA will occur upon a Change
in Control, as that term is defined in the May Restricted Stock Agreement pursuant to which the RSA was made. If Mr. Fernandez’s
employment is terminated for any reason at any time by the Company prior to the full vesting of the RSA without “Cause” (as
that term is defined in the June Agreement), the RSA will vest and Mr. Fernandez will receive all right, title and interest in the balance
of the securities granted to him in the RSA.
In the event of a termination
of Mr. Ellenoff’s employment as a result of his death, his Total Disability (as defined in the Ellenoff Employment Agreement),
the expiration of the initial term of the Ellenoff Employment Agreement, Mr. Ellenoff’s resignation for any reason or no reason
(upon thirty (30) days prior written notice), or for “Cause” (as defined in the Ellenoff Employment Agreement); then, in
addition to the reimbursement of documented, unreimbursed expenses incurred prior to such date, Mr. Ellenoff or his estate or beneficiaries,
as applicable, will be entitled to receive any RSAs and options earned and/or vested through the such date, but all other RSAs and options
shall immediately terminate. Upon termination of Mr. Ellenoff’s employment (as defined in the Ellenoff Employment Agreement), in
addition to the reimbursement of documented, unreimbursed expenses incurred prior to such date, Mr. Ellenoff will be entitled to receive
any RSAs and options provided for under the Ellenoff Employment Agreement; any RSAs and Options that previously had not been vested will
immediately vest, and any RSAs or Options contemplated by the Ellenoff Employment Agreement that had not yet been issued to Mr. Ellenoff
will be promptly issued by the Company.

13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
SEC
rules require us to disclose any transaction or currently proposed transaction in which the Company is a participant and in which any
related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest involving the lesser of $120,000 or one percent (1%) of the average
of the Company’s total assets as of the end of last two completed fiscal years. A related person is any executive officer, director,
nominee for director, or holder of 5% or more of the Company’s common stock, or an immediate family member of any of those persons.
For
the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, Orbital Satcom purchased an aggregate of approximately $1,583,682 and $1,245,308 of inventory
from GTC. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, GTC purchased an aggregate of approximately $62,380 and $25,728 of inventory
from Orbital Satcom. For the year ended December 31, 2021, NextPlat advanced $2,100,000, pursuant to approval from the Company’s
board of directors for inventory.
Policies
and Procedures for Related Party Transactions
Prior
to establishing the Audit Committee in March 2021, the Board at large was responsible for reviewing and approving in advance any related
party transaction. Upon establishing the Audit Committee in March 2021, the Audit Committee was responsible for reviewing, approving
and overseeing any transaction between the Company and a related person. The Audit Committee’s responsibility includes, but is
not limited to, any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships in
which we were or will be a participant and (a) the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent (1%) of the average
of the Company’s total assets as of the end of last two completed fiscal years, and (b) a related person had or will have a direct
or indirect material interest, including, without limitation, purchases of goods or services by or from the related person or entities
in which the related person has a material interest, indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness and employment by us of a related person.
66
Director
Independence
The
rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, or the Nasdaq Rules, require a majority of a listed company’s Board of Directors to be composed
of independent directors. In addition, the Nasdaq Rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s
audit, compensation and nominating and governance committees be independent. Under the Nasdaq Rules, a director will only qualify as
an independent director if, in the opinion of our Board, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise
of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Nasdaq Rules also require that audit committee members
satisfy independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than
in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee, accept, directly or
indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise be an
affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries. In considering the independence of compensation committee members,
the Nasdaq Rules require that our board of directors must consider additional factors relevant to the duties of a compensation committee
member, including the source of any compensation we pay to the director and any affiliations with our company.
Our
Board undertook a review of the composition of our Board and its committees and the independence of each director. Based upon information
requested from and provided by each director concerning his background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships,
our Board has determined that Hector Delgado, John Miller, Kendall Carpenter, Louis Cusimano and Rodney Barreto are independent, as defined
under the Nasdaq Rules, and that David Phipps, Douglas Ellenoff and Charles M. Fernandez are not independent.

Committee Pre-approval Policies and Procedures
The

services on the auditors’ independence.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
NextPlat
Corp and Subsidiaries
(formerly
known as Orbsat Corp)
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NextPlat Corp & Subsidiaries (formerly known as Orbsat Corp) (the “Company”)
as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity,
and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred
to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial positions of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.
Basis
for Opinion
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Company’s consolidated 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 audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our 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
did not identify any critical audit matters during the course of our audit for the year ended December 31, 2021.
/s/
RBSM LLP
We
have served as the Company’s auditor since 2014.

Organization
and Description of Business
NextPlat
Corp (the “Company”) was formerly Orbsat Corp (“NextPlat”), a Nevada corporation. NextPlat currently generates
its revenues from the provision of a comprehensive array of communication services and related equipment sales. In recent years the Company
has successfully leveraged e-commerce solutions to establish a truly global reach. We intend to achieve our mission and further grow
our business by pursuing the following strategies: increased product offerings, marketplace expansion, government sourced revenue, product
innovation, future acquisitions and E-Commerce Platforms.
The
Company was originally incorporated in 1997 in Florida. On April 21, 2010, the Company merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary
for the purpose of changing its state of incorporation to Delaware, effecting a 2:1 forward split of its common stock, and changing its
name to EClips Media Technologies, Inc. On April 25, 2011, the Company changed its name to Silver Horn Mining Ltd. pursuant to a merger
with a wholly owned subsidiary.
Global
Telesat Communications Limited (“GTC”) was formed under the laws of England and Wales in 2008. On February 19, 2015, we entered
into a share exchange agreement with GTC and all of the holders of the outstanding equity of GTC pursuant to which GTC became a wholly
owned subsidiary of ours.
On
March 28, 2014, we merged with a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of ours solely for the purpose of changing our state of incorporation
to Nevada from Delaware, effecting a 1:150 reverse split of our common stock , and changing our name to Great West Resources, Inc. in
connection with the plans to enter into the business of potash mining and exploration. During late 2014, we abandoned our efforts to
enter the potash business.
For
accounting purposes, this transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and has been treated as a recapitalization of the Company
with GTC considered the accounting acquirer, and the financial statements of the accounting acquirer became the financial statements
of the registrant. The completion of the Share Exchange resulted in a change of control. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse
acquisition and re-capitalization. The GTC shareholders obtained approximately 39% of voting control on the date of Share Exchange. GTC
was the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and the Company was the acquired company. The consolidated financial statements after
the acquisition include the balance sheets of both companies at historical cost, the historical results of GTC and the results of the
Company from the acquisition date. All share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes
has been retroactively restated to reflect the recapitalization. See Note 12 – Stockholders’ Equity.
Orbital
Satcom Corp, a Nevada corporation was formed on November 14, 2014.
On
January 22, 2015, we changed our name to “Orbital Tracking Corp” from “Great West Resources, Inc.” pursuant to
a merger with a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary.
Effective
March 8, 2018, following the approval of a majority of our shareholders, we effected a reverse split of our common stock at a ratio of
1 for 150 . On August 19, 2019, we effected a reverse split of our common stock at a ratio of 1 for 15 . As a result of the reverse split,
our common stock now has the CUSIP number: 68557F100. All share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements and footnotes has been retroactively restated to reflect these reverse splits.
Also,
on August 19, 2019, we changed our name to “Orbsat Corp” from “Orbital Tracking Corp.” pursuant to a merger with
a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary.
On
March 24, 2021, the Company’s shareholders via majority shareholder consent authorized a stock
split not to exceed 1-for-5 reverse stock split .
A definitive Information Statement relating to the shareholder consent was filed with the SEC on March 13, 2021. The Company’s
Board of Directors (the “Board”) subsequently approved the 1-for-5
reverse stock split . The Company filed a Certificate
of Change to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common
stock, at a ratio of 1-for-5 .
The effective time of the reverse stock split was 12:01 a.m. ET on May 28, 2021. The Company’s common stock began trading on a
split-adjusted basis commencing upon market open on May 28, 2021. The common stock has been assigned a new CUSIP number, 68557F 209.
The warrants were assigned the CUSIP number, 68557F 118. No fractional shares of common stock were issued as a result of the reverse
stock split. Stockholders of record who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share received a whole share.
On
December 16, 2021, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of the Company the stockholders approved
certificate of amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation changing the Company’s name to NextPlat
Corp. The Name Change Amendment was filed on January 18, 2022, and t he Company’s
name change from Orbsat Corp to NextPlat Corp was effective as of January 21, 2022.
Effective
January 21, 2022, the trading symbol for the Company’s common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”)
on the NASDAQ Capital Market will be “NXPL” and the trading symbol for the Company’s Warrants (the “Warrants”)
on the NASDAQ Capital Market will be “NXPLW.” The CUSIP number for our Common Stock (68557F209) and our Warrants (68557F118)
remain unchanged. Prior to January 21, 2022, our common stock and warrants were traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols
“OSAT” and “OSATW,” respectively

Discontinued
Operations
The
Company’s former operations were developing and manufacturing products and services, which reduce fuel costs, save power and energy
and protect the environment. The products and services were made available for sale into markets in the public and private sectors. In
December 2009, the Company discontinued these operations and disposed of certain of its subsidiaries, and prior periods have been restated
in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related footnotes to conform to this presentation.
The
remaining liabilities for discontinued operations are presented in the consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Liabilities
from discontinued operation” and relates to the discontinued operations of developing and manufacturing of energy saving
and fuel-efficient products and services. The carrying amounts of the major classes of these liabilities as of December 31, 2021, and
2020 are summarized as follows:

Basis
of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America
(“US GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Orbital Satcom Corp, (“Orbital Satcom”) and Global Telesat Communications Limited, (“GTC”). All material intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Liquidity
As
an early-stage growth company, NextPlat’s ability to access capital is critical. On June 2, 2021, through an upsized underwritten
public offering of 2,880,000
units at a price to the public of $ 5.00
per unit, the Company received gross proceeds
of $ 14,404,666 (the
“June Offering”). See Note 12, Stockholders’ Equity, for more information
regarding the June Offering.
In
connection with closing of the June Offering, the Underwriter partially exercised its overallotment option and purchased an additional
432,000 warrants at $ 0.01 per warrant for additional gross proceeds to the Company of $ 4,320 . On June 28, 2021, the Underwriter, upon
the exercise in full of the balance of its over-allotment option, purchased 432,000 additional shares of the common stock for additional
gross proceeds of $ 2,155,680 from the sale of the Shares.
As
of the date of this report, the Company’s existing cash resources and existing borrowing availability are sufficient to support
planned operations for the next 12 months. As a result, management believes that the Company’s existing financial resources are
sufficient to continue operating activities for at least one year past the issuance date of the financial statements.
These
financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with GAAP and this basis assumes that the Company will continue as
a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course
of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Use
of Estimates
In
preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statements of financial condition, and revenues and expenses for the years then ended.
Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to,
the assumptions used to calculate stock-based compensation, derivative liabilities and common stock issued for services.

Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company
places its cash with a high credit quality financial institution. The Company’s account at this institution is insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $ 250,000 . All cash amounts in excess of $ 250,000 , $ 17,017,978 , are unsecured.
To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the
financial institution in which it holds deposits.
Accounts
Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The
Company has a policy of reserving for questionable accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its
existing accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary
based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account
balances deemed to be uncollectible are offset against sales and relieved from accounts receivable, after all means of collection have
been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, there is an allowance for doubtful
accounts of $ 0 and $ 15,596 , respectively.
Inventories
Inventories
are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in first-out cost method. The Company assesses the valuation
of its inventories and reduces the carrying value of those inventories that are obsolete or in excess of the Company’s forecasted
usage to their estimated net realizable value. The Company estimates the net realizable value of such inventories based on analysis and
assumptions including, but not limited to, historical usage, expected future demand and market requirements. A change to the carrying
value of inventories is recorded to cost of goods sold.
Prepaid
Expenses
Prepaid
expenses current and long term amounted to $ 97,068
and $ 49,867 ,
respectively for the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to $ 1,784
and $ 0
at for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Prepaid expenses include prepayments in cash for accounting fees, prepayments in equity instruments, which are being amortized over the
terms of their respective agreements, as well as cost associated with certain contract liabilities. The current portion consists of costs
paid for future services which will occur within a year.
Foreign
Currency Translation
The
Company’s reporting currency is U.S. Dollars. The accounts of one of the Company’s subsidiaries, GTC, is maintained using
the appropriate local currency, Great British Pound, as the functional currency. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S.
Dollars at balance sheet date, shareholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and revenue and expense accounts are translated
at the average exchange rate for the year or the reporting period. The translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of
stockholders’ equity, captioned as accumulated other comprehensive (loss) gain. Transaction gains and losses arising from exchange
rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statements of operations.
The
relevant translation rates are as follows: for the year ended December 31, 2021, closing rate at 1.353372 US$: GBP, yearly average rate
at 1.375083 US$: GBP, for the year ended December 31, 2020 closing rate at 1.3665 US$: GBP, yearly average rate at 1.286618 US$: GBP.

Revenue
Recognition and Unearned Revenue
The
Company recognizes revenue from satellite services when earned, as services are rendered or delivered to customers. Equipment sales revenue
is recognized when the equipment is delivered to and accepted by the customer. Only equipment sales are subject to warranty. Historically,
the Company has not incurred significant expenses for warranties. Equipment sales which have been prepaid, before the goods are shipped
are recorded as contract liabilities and once shipped is recognized as revenue. The Company also records as contract liabilities, certain
annual plans for airtime, which are paid in advance. Once airtime services are incurred, they are recognized as revenue. Unbilled revenue
is recognized for airtime plans whereby the customer is invoiced for its data usage the following month after services are incurred.
The
Company’s customers generally purchase a combination of our products and services as part of a multiple element arrangement. The
Company’s assessment of which revenue recognition guidance is appropriate to account for each element in an arrangement can involve
significant judgment. This assessment has a significant impact on the amount and timing of revenue recognition.
The
Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration
which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company
determines are within the scope of ASC 606, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify
the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance
obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. The five-step model is applied
to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services transferred
to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, we assess the goods or services
promised within each contract and determine those that are performance obligations and assess whether each promised good or service is
distinct. We then recognize revenue in the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation
when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
In
accordance with ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedient ,
which is to (1) clarify the objective of the collectability criterion for applying paragraph 606-10-25-7; (2) permit an entity to exclude
amounts collected from customers for all sales (and other similar) taxes from the transaction price; (3) specify that the measurement
date for noncash consideration is contract inception; (4) provide a practical expedient that permits an entity to reflect the aggregate
effect of all modifications that occur before the beginning of the earliest period presented when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied
performance obligations, determining the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance
obligations; (5) clarify that a completed contract for purposes of transition is a contract for which all (or substantially all) of the
revenue was recognized under legacy GAAP before the date of initial application, and (6) clarify that an entity that retrospectively
applies the guidance in Topic 606 to each prior reporting period is not required to disclose the effect of the accounting change for
the period of adoption. The amendments of this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. There was no impact as a result of adopting this ASU on the financial statements and related disclosures.
Based on the terms and conditions of the product arrangements, the Company believes that its products and services can be accounted for
separately as its products and services have value to the Company’s customers on a stand-alone basis. When a transaction involves
more than one product or service, revenue is allocated to each deliverable based on its relative fair value; otherwise, revenue is recognized
as products are delivered or as services are provided over the term of the customer contract.
Contract
liabilities are shown separately in the consolidated balance sheets as current liabilities. At December 31, 2021, we had contract liabilities
of approximately $ 36,765 . At December 31, 2020, we had contract liabilities of approximately $ 36,704 .

Cost
of Product Sales and Services
Cost
of sales consists primarily of materials, airtime and overhead costs incurred internally and amounts incurred to contract manufacturers
to produce our products, airtime and other implementation costs incurred to install our products and train customer personnel, and customer
service and third-party original equipment manufacturer costs to provide continuing support to our customers. There are certain costs
which are deferred and recorded as prepaids, until such revenue is recognized. Refer to revenue recognition above as to what constitutes
deferred revenue.
Shipping
and handling costs are included as a component of costs of product sales in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations
because the Company includes in revenue the related costs that the Company bills its customers.
Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets include customer contracts purchased and recorded based on the cost to acquire them. These assets are amortized over 10 years.
Useful lives of intangible assets are periodically evaluated for reasonableness and the assets are tested for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may no longer be recoverable.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is based on the estimated service lives of the
depreciable assets and is calculated using the straight-line method. Expenditures that increase the value or productive capacity of assets
are capitalized. Fully depreciated assets are retained in the property and equipment, and accumulated depreciation accounts until they
are removed from service. When property and equipment are retired, sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset’s carrying amount and
related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations. Repairs and maintenance
are expensed as incurred.
The
estimated useful lives of property and equipment are generally as follows:

Depreciation
expense for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020 was $ 292,102 and $ 269,926 , respectively.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets
The
Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the
assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted
future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s
estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not consider it necessary to record any impairment charges during the periods
ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Accounting
for Derivative Instruments
Derivatives
are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. These derivatives, including embedded derivatives in the Company’s
structured borrowings, are separately valued and accounted for on the Company’s balance sheet. Fair values for exchange traded
securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. Where market prices are not readily available, fair values are determined
using market-based pricing models incorporating readily observable market data and requiring judgment and estimates.
The
Company did not identify any other assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the consolidated balance sheets at fair
value in accordance with the accounting guidance. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts payable, and
accrued expenses approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of the instruments.
Stock-based
Compensation
Stock-based
compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the
consolidated financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments
over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period).
The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date
fair value of the award.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Pursuant
to ASC Topic 718, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement
date.” The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount
of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company initially records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at
the reporting date. Further, ASC Topic 718, provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment
award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718, such as the repricing of share options, which would revalue those
options and the accounting for the cancellation of an equity award whether a replacement award or other valuable consideration is issued
in conjunction with the cancellation. If not, the cancellation is viewed as a replacement and not a modification, with a repurchase price
of $ 0 .
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”)
which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach
require the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between
the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets
for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.
The
Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, there
may be uncertainty about the merits of positions taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance
with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which,
based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination,
including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.
Tax
positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than
50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefit associated with
tax positions taken that exceed the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits
in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon
examination.
The
Company believes its tax positions are all more likely than not to be upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded
a liability for uncertain tax benefits.
The
Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25, “Definition of Settlement,” which provides guidance on how an entity should determine
whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a
tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion and examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished.
For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position
is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations
remains open. The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities,
generally for three years after they are filed.
Leases
Effective
January 1, 2019, the Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases . Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition
of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases, and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as both a right of use
asset and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the
Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the
right of use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the
right of use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and
the amortization of the right of use asset results in front-loaded expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded
when incurred.

OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
In
calculating the right of use asset and lease liability, the Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components. The Company
excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from the new guidance as an accounting policy election and
recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
At
December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had aggregated current and long-term operating lease liabilities of $ 19,763 and $ 0 , respectively,
and right of use assets of $ 22,643 and $ 55,606 , respectively.
Research
and Development
The
Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research
and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred.
Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed
when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs
related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, there
were no expenditures on research and development.
Accumulated
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive
income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity. For the Company, comprehensive
loss for the years ended December 31, 2021and 2020 included net loss and unrealized losses from foreign currency translation adjustments.
Earnings
per Common Share
Net
income (loss) per common share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260: Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”). Basic income
(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
the period. The computation of diluted net loss per share does not include dilutive common stock equivalents in the weighted average
shares outstanding as they would be anti-dilutive. In periods where the Company has a net loss, all dilutive securities are excluded.

Accounting
Pronouncements Recently Adopted
In
May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic
470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity
(Subtopic 815-40). ASU 2021-04 clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding
equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The ASU
provides guidance to clarify whether an issuer should account for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written
call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as (1) an adjustment to equity and, if so, the related earnings
per share effects, if any, or (2) an expense and, if so, the manner and pattern of recognition. ASU 2021-04 is effective for annual beginning
after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim
period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In
October 2021, the FASB issued guidance which requires companies to apply Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to recognize
and measure contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. Public entities
must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early
adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact and timing of adoption of this guidance
Any
new accounting standards, not disclosed above, that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future
date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

March
2021 Financing
On
March 5, 2021, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “March 2021 NPA”) by and between the Company and one
individual accredited investor (the “Lender”). Pursuant to the terms of the March 2021 NPA, the Company sold a convertible
promissory note with a principal amount of $ 350,000
(the “March 2021 Note”). The March
2021 Note is a general, unsecured obligation of the Company and bears simple interest at a rate of 7 %
per annum and matures on the third anniversary of the date of issuance (the “Maturity Date”), to the extent that the
March 2021 Note and the principal amount and any interest accrued thereunder have not been converted into shares of the Company’s
common stock. In the event that any amount due under the March 2021 Note was not paid as and when due, such amount will accrue interest
at the rate of 12 %
per year, simple interest, non-compounding, until paid. The Company may not pre-pay or redeem the March 2021 Note other than as required
by the Agreement. The
Noteholder had an optional right of conversion such that a Noteholder may elect to convert his March 2021 Note, in whole or in part,
outstanding as of such time, into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock as determined
by dividing the indebtedness under the March 2021 Note price equal to the lesser of (a) $7.50 per share, and (b) a 30% discount to the
price of the common stock in the qualified transaction. Following an event of default, the conversion price shall be adjusted to be equal
to the lower of: (i) the then applicable conversion price or (ii) the price per share of 85% of the lowest traded price for the Company’s
common stock during the 15 trading days preceding the relevant conversion. In addition, subject to the ownership limitations, if a qualified
transaction is completed, without further action from the Noteholder, on the closing date of the qualified transaction, 50% of the principal
amount of this March 2021 Note and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be converted into Company common stock at a conversion price
equal to the 30% discount to the offering price in such qualified transaction, which price shall be proportionately adjusted for stock
splits, stock dividends or similar events . A
“Qualified Transaction” refers the completion of the public offering of the Company’s securities stock with gross proceeds
of at least $ 10,000,000
pursuant to which the Company’s securities
become registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or a merger with a company listed on
the Nasdaq or Canadian stock exchanges, as amended. The Noteholder is granted registration rights and pre-emptive rights. In addition,
the March 2021 NPA includes customary events of default, including, among others: (i) non-payment of amounts due thereunder, (ii) non-compliance
with covenants thereunder, (iii) bankruptcy or insolvency. The Company’s issuance of the March 2021 Note under the terms of the
March 2021 NPA was made pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”) in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. The investor
in the March 2021 Note is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities
Act. There were no discounts or brokerage fees associated with this offering. The Company used the offering proceeds for working capital
and general corporate purposes. In April 2021 the Noteholder waived contractual pre-emptive rights set forth in the March 2021 NPA.
On May 27, 2021, the Lender converted $ 350,000 of the March 2021 Note into 100,000 shares of common stock.
December
2020 Financing
On
December 1, 2020, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement by and among the Company and certain lenders where the Company sold
an aggregate principal amount of $ 244,000 of its convertible promissory notes (the “December 2020 Notes”). The December 2020
Note holders had an optional right of conversion such that a Noteholder may elect to convert his December 2020 Note, in whole or in part,
outstanding as of such time, into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock as determined
by dividing the outstanding indebtedness by $ 0.25 , subject to certain adjustments.
August
2020 Financing
On
August 21, 2020, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement by and among the Company and certain lenders where the Company sold
an aggregate principal amount of $ 933,000 of its convertible promissory notes (the “August 2020 Notes”). The August 2020
Note holders had an optional right of conversion such that a Noteholder may elect to convert his August 2020 Note, in whole or in part,
outstanding as of such time, into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock as determined
by dividing the outstanding indebtedness by $ 0.20 , subject to certain adjustments.

the new debt instrument shall be initially recorded at fair value, and that amount shall be used to determine the debt extinguishment
gain or loss to be recognized and the effective rate of the new instrument. The original debt had a carrying value of $ 269,262 as of
June 15, 2020, the fair value of the amended debt was $ 0 ($ 792,932 principle netted with the $ 792,392 note payable discount), which resulted

We
have issued to the Underwriter warrants to purchase up to a total of 144,000
shares of common stock ( 5 % of the shares of common
stock included in the Units, excluding the over-allotment, if any) (the “Underwriter Warrants”). The Underwriter Warrants

of the registration statement and expire five years from the effective date of the offering, which period is in compliance with
FINRA Rule 5110(e). The Underwriter Warrants are exercisable at a per share price equal to $ 5.50
per share, or 110 %
of the public offering price per unit in the offering. The Underwriter Warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore
subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1) of FINRA. The underwriter (or permitted assignees under Rule 5110(e)(2)) will
not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate these warrants or the securities underlying these warrants, nor will they engage in
any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the warrants
or the underlying securities for a period of 180 days from the effective date of the registration statement. In addition, the warrants
provide for certain piggyback registration rights. The piggyback registration rights provided will not be greater than five years from
the effective date of the registration statement in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8). We will bear all fees and expenses attendant
to registering the securities issuable on exercise of the Underwriter Warrants. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon
exercise of the Underwriter Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary
cash dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrant exercise price or underlying shares
will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of common stock at a price below the warrant exercise price.

2018
Incentive Plan
On
June 14, 2018, our Board of Directors approved the 2018 Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The purpose of the 2018 Plan is
to provide a means for the Company to continue to attract, motivate and retain management, key employees, consultants and other independent
contractors, and to provide these individuals with greater incentive for their service to the Company by linking their interests in the
Company’s success with those of the Company and its shareholders. An award may also be granted to any consultant, agent, advisor
or independent contractor for bona fide services rendered to the Company or any Related Company (as defined in the 2018 Plan) that; are
not in connection with the offer and sale of the Company’s securities in a capital raising transaction, and do not directly or
indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company’s securities. The 2018 Plan is administered by the Board its Compensation
Committee and may grant Options designated as Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options. The 2018 Plan provides that up to
a maximum of 13,333 shares of the Company’s common stock (subject to adjustment) are available for issuance under the 2018 Plan.
Subject to earlier termination in accordance with the terms of the 2018 Plan and the instrument evidencing the option, the maximum term
of an incentive stock option shall not exceed ten years, and in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder
(as defined in the 2018 Plan), shall not exceed five years. Any portion of an option that is not vested and exercisable on the date of
a plan participant’s Termination of Service (as defined in the 2018 Plan) shall expire on such date. In the event of a Change in
Control (as defined in the 2018 Plan); all outstanding awards, other than performance shares and performance units, shall become fully
and immediately exercisable, and all applicable deferral and restriction limitations or forfeiture provisions shall lapse, immediately
prior to the Change in Control and shall terminate at the effective time of the Change in Control; provided, however, that with respect
to a Change in Control that is a Company Transaction (as defined in the 2018 Plan), such awards shall become fully and immediately exercisable,
and all applicable deferral and restriction limitations or forfeiture provisions shall lapse, only if and to the extent such awards are
not converted, assumed or replaced by the Successor Company (as defined in the 2018 Plan.

Amended
and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan
On
August 21, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and adopted the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020
Plan”) in order to provide a means for the Company to continue to attract, motivate and retain management, key employees, directors
and consultants. On December 31, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and adopted an amendment that increased the number
of shares available for issuance under the 2020 Plan from 450,000 shares to 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. On August
10, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors further amended the 2020 Plan and adopted and approved an Amended and Restated 2020
Equity Incentive Plan (the “A&R 2020 Plan”), in order to, among other things: (i) clarify that the exercise price of
stock options will be set at “Fair Market Value,” and (ii) make conforming revision to reflect the 1-for-5 reverse split
that was effective on May 28, 2021. The A&R 2020 Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders on December 16, 2021, at the
Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
The
A&R 2020 Plan provides for discretionary awards of, among others, stock options, stock awards, stock unit awards and stock appreciation
rights to participants. Each award made under the A&R 2020 Plan will be evidenced by a written award agreement specifying the terms
and conditions of the award as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, consistent with the terms of the A&R 2020 Plan.
All employees, directors, and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards under the A&R 2020 Plan.
The
A&R 2020 Plan is administered by the “Committee” which is defined in the A&R 2020 Plan as the Compensation Committee
of the Board or such other committee as may be designated by the Board from time to time to administer the Plan, or, if no such committee
has been designated at the time of any grants, it shall mean the Board.
The
number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the A&R 2020 Plan is 800,000 . Shares issuable under the A&R 2020 Plan
may be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. If there is a lapse, forfeiture, expiration, termination or cancellation of
any award made under the A&R 2020 Plan for any reason, the shares subject to the award will again be available for issuance. Any
shares subject to an award that are delivered to us by a participant, or withheld by us on behalf of a participant, as payment for an
award or payment of withholding taxes due in connection with an award will not again be available for issuance, and all such shares will
count toward the number of shares issued under the A&R 2020 Plan. The number of common shares issuable under the A&R 2020 Plan
is subject to adjustment, in the event of any reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock distribution, merger, consolidation,
split-up, spin-off, combination, subdivision, consolidation or exchange of shares, any change in the capital structure of the company
or any similar corporate transaction. In each case, the Committee has the discretion to make adjustments it deems necessary to preserve
the intended benefits under the A&R 2020 Plan. No award granted under the A&R 2020 Plan may be transferred, except by will, the
laws of descent and distribution.
The
maximum number of shares subject to Awards granted under the A&R 2020 Plan or otherwise during any one calendar year to any Director
for service on the Board (other than to Mr. Phipps and the Company’s CEO and President, if serving on the Board, to whom no annual
limit is applicable), taken together with any cash fees paid by the Company to such Director during such calendar year for service on
the Board, will not exceed $ 100,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the grant date fair value or such
value as determined by the Board, at its discretion, of such Awards for financial reporting purposes).
The
Committee may amend any award agreement at any time, provided that no amendment may adversely affect the right of any participant under
any agreement in any material way without the written consent of the participant, unless such amendment is required by applicable law,
regulation or stock exchange rule. The Board may terminate, suspend or amend the A&R 2020 Plan, in whole or in part, from time to
time, without the approval of the shareholders, unless such approval is required by applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule,
and provided that no amendment may adversely affect the right of any participant under any outstanding award in any material way without
the written consent of the participant, unless such amendment is required by applicable law, regulation or rule of any stock exchange
on which the shares are listed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the A&R 2020 Plan nor any outstanding award agreement can
be amended in a way that results in the repricing of a stock option. Repricing is broadly defined to include reducing the exercise price
of a stock option or cancelling a stock option in exchange for cash, other stock options with a lower exercise price or other stock awards.
No awards may be granted under the A&R 2020 Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the A&R 2020 Plan.
The
Company uses the Black-Scholes Model to calculate the fair value of its options. The valuation result generated by this pricing model
is necessarily driven by the value of the underlying common stock incorporated into the model. Management determined the expected volatility
was 462.15 %, a risk-free rate of interest between 0.68 - 0.93 %, and contractual lives of the options of ten years. In connection with the
stock option grant, for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a charge for the fair value of options granted of $ 830,900 .

2021
Equity Incentive Plan
The
Company’s Board of Directors approved and adopted the 2021 Incentive Award Plan (“2021 Plan”), subject to stockholder
approval, on August 10, 2021. The 2021 Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders on December 16, 2021, at the Company’s
2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
The
purpose of the 2021 Plan is to enhance the Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who make (or are expected
to make) important contributions to the Company and its subsidiaries by providing these individuals with equity ownership opportunities.
The
number of shares initially available for issuance under awards granted pursuant to the 2021 Plan is 768,819 shares of common stock. The
number of shares initially available for issuance will be increased on January 1 of each calendar year beginning in 2022 and ending in
2031, by an amount equal to the lesser (A) an amount such that the resulting sum (the new “Overall Share Limit”) is equal
to 12 % of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year and
(B) such smaller number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by the Board. Shares issued under the 2021 Plan may be authorized
but unissued shares, shares purchased in the open market or treasury shares. If an award under the 2021 Plan expires, lapses or is terminated,
exchanged for cash, surrendered to an exchange program, repurchased, cancelled without having been fully exercised or forfeited, any
shares subject to such award will, as applicable, become or again be available for new grants under the 2021 Plan.
All
employees, directors, and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards under the 2021 Plan. As of October
22, 2021, eighteen individuals are eligible to receive awards under the 2021 Plan.
The
2021 Plan is generally administered by the Board, which may delegate its duties and responsibilities to committees of Board and or officers
of the Company (referred to collectively as the “plan administrator”). The plan administrator will have the authority to
make all determinations and interpretations under, prescribe all forms for use with, and adopt rules for the administration of, the 2021
Plan, subject to its express terms and conditions. The plan administrator will also set the terms and conditions of all awards under
the 2021 Plan, including any vesting and vesting acceleration conditions. The plan administrator may also institute and determine the
terms and conditions of an “exchange program,” which could provide for the surrender or cancellation, transfer, or reduction
or increase of exercise price, of outstanding awards, subject to the limitations provided for in the Incentive Award Plan.
The
2021 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, including incentive stock options, or ISOs, and nonqualified stock options, or NSOs;
restricted stock; dividend equivalents; restricted stock units, or RSUs; stock appreciation rights, or SARs; and other stock or cash-based
awards. All awards under the 2021 Plan will be set forth in award agreements, which will detail the terms and conditions of the awards,
including any applicable vesting and payment terms and post-termination exercise limitations.
Other
Stock or Cash Based Awards may be granted to participants, including awards entitling participants to receive shares to be delivered
in the future and including annual or other periodic or long-term cash bonus awards (whether based on specified performance criteria
or otherwise), in each case subject to any conditions and limitations in the 2021 Plan. The plan administrator will determine the terms
and conditions of other stock or cash-based awards.
Performance
awards include any of the foregoing awards that are granted subject to vesting and/or payment based on the attainment of specified performance
goals or other criteria the plan administrator may determine, which may or may not be objectively determinable. Performance criteria
upon which performance goals are established by the plan administrator.
In
connection with certain transactions and events affecting the Company’s Common Stock, including a change in control (as defined
in the 2021 Plan), or change in any applicable laws or accounting principles, the plan administrator has broad discretion to take action
under the 2021 Plan to prevent the dilution or enlargement of intended benefits, facilitate such transaction or event, or give effect
to such change in applicable laws or accounting principles. This includes cancelling awards in exchange for either an amount in
cash or other property with a value equal to the amount that would have been obtained upon exercise or settlement of the vested portion
of such award or realization of the participant’s rights under the vested portion of such award, accelerating the vesting of awards,
providing for the assumption or substitution of awards by a successor entity, adjusting the number and type of shares available, replacing
awards with other rights or property and/or terminating awards under the 2021 Plan.
On
December 16, 2021, the Company granted 100,000 options pursuant to its 2021 equity incentive plan, with an exercise price of $ 3.81 per
share, of which half vest on day of grant with the second half vesting on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant. The options
have a ten-year term and expire on December 16, 2031 . The grants were awarded as follows: 75,000 to Charles Fernandez, 10,000 to Paul
R. Thomson and 15,000 to Theresa Carlise.
The
vested portion of the options granted, 50,000 options were valued on the grant date at approximately $ 3.04 per option or a total of $ 151,940
using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: stock price of $ 3.81 per share (based on the closing price
of the Company’s common stock of the date of grant), volatility of 80 %, expected term of 10 years, and a risk-free interest rate
of 0.28 %.

NOTE
13 – INCOME TAXES
The
Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740: Income Taxes which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the
expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carry forwards. ASC Topic 740 additionally requires the establishment
of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. The Company has a net federal and state operating
loss carry forward for tax purposes totaling approximately $ 6.8 million at December 31, 2020, expiring through the year 2036, generally .
The
tax reform bill that Congress voted to approve December 20, 2017, also known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”, made sweeping
modifications to the Internal Revenue Code, including a much lower corporate tax rate, changes to credits and deductions, and a move
to a territorial system for corporations that have overseas earnings. The act replaced the prior-law graduated corporate tax rate, which
taxed income over $ 10 million at 35 %, with a flat rate of 21 %. Due to the continuing loss position of the Company, such changes should
not be material.
For
U.S. purposes, the Company has not completed its evaluation of NOL utilization limitations under Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the
“Code”) Section 382, change of ownership rules. If the Company has had a change in ownership, the NOL’s would be limited
as to the amount that could be utilized each year, or possibly eliminated, based on the Code. The Company has also, not completed its
review of NOL’s pertaining to years the Company was known as “Silver Horn Mining Ltd.” and “Great West Resources,
Inc.”, which may not be available due to IRC Section 382 and because of a change in business line that may eliminate NOL’s
associated with ““Silver Horn Mining Ltd.” and “Great West Resources, Inc.” The company has also not reviewed
the impact relating to “Recent Events” for its IRC Section 382 possible NOL’s limitation.

The
Internal Revenue Code includes a provision, referred to as Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”), which provides for
a 10.5 % tax on certain income of controlled foreign corporations. We have elected to account for GILTI as a period cost if and when occurred,
rather than recognizing deferred taxes for basis differences expected to reverse.
The
Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various states and foreign jurisdictions. U.S. federal income tax returns for 2018 and
after remain open to examination. We and our subsidiaries are also subject to income tax in multiple states and foreign jurisdictions.
Generally, foreign income tax returns after 2017 remain open to examination. No income tax returns are currently under examination. As
of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits, and continues to monitor its current and prior
tax positions for any changes. The Company recognizes penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.
For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no penalties or interest recorded in income tax expense.

COVID-19
In
March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic prompting
government-imposed quarantines, suspension of in-person attendance of academic programs, and cessation of certain travel and business
closures. The United States has entered a recession as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may prolong and exacerbate the negative
impact on us. Although we expect the availability of vaccines and various treatments with respect to COVID-19 to have an overall positive
impact on business conditions in the aggregate over time, the exact timing of these positive developments is uncertain. In December 2020,
the United States began distributing two vaccines that, in addition to other vaccines under development, are expected to help to reduce
the spread of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 once they are widely distributed. If the vaccines prove less effective than currently
understood by the scientific community and the United States Food and Drug Administration, or if there are problems with the acceptance,
availability, timing or other difficulties with widely distributing the vaccines, the pandemic may last longer, and could continue to
impact our business for longer, than we currently expect. In response to COVID-19, governmental authorities have implemented numerous
measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, prohibitions on group events and gatherings, shutdowns of
certain businesses, curfews, shelter in place orders and recommendations to practice social distancing. Although many governmental measures
have had specific expiration dates, some of those measures have already been extended more than once, and there is considerable uncertainty
regarding the duration of such measures and the implementation of any potential future measures, especially if cases increase again across
the United States, with the potential for additional challenges resulting from the emergence of new variants of COVID-19, some of which
may be more transmissible than the initial strain. Such measures have impacted, and may continue to affect, our workforce, operations,
suppliers and customers. We reduced the size of our workforce following the onset of COVID-19 and may need to take additional actions
to further reduce the size of our workforce in the future; such reductions incur costs, and we can provide no assurance that we will
be able to rehire our workforce in the event our business experiences a subsequent recovery. We took steps to curtail our operating expenses
and conserve cash. We may elect or need to take additional remedial measures in the future as the information available to us continues
to develop, including with respect to our workforce, relationships with our third-party vendors, and our customers. There is no certainty
that the remedial measures we have implemented to date, or any additional remedial steps we may take in the future, will be sufficient
to mitigate the risks posed by COVID-19. Further, such measures could potentially materially adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations and create additional risks for us. Any escalation of COVID-19 cases across many of the markets we
serve could have a negative impact on us. Specifically, we could be adversely impacted by limitations on our employees to perform their
work due to illness caused by the pandemic or local, state, or federal orders requiring our stores to close or employees to remain at
home; limitation of carriers to deliver our product to customers; product shortages; limitations on the ability of our customers to conduct
their business and purchase our products and services; and limitations on the ability of our customers to pay us in a timely manner.
These events could have a material, adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.

(CONTINUED)
The
ultimate magnitude of COVID-19, including the full extent of the material negative impact on our financial and operational results, will
depend on future developments. The resumption of our normal business operations may be delayed or constrained by lingering effects of
COVID-19 on our customers, suppliers and/or third-party service providers. Furthermore, the extent to which our mitigation efforts are
successful, if at all, is not currently ascertainable. Due to the daily evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the responses to curb
its spread, we cannot predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and results of operations, but our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows have already been materially adversely impacted, and we anticipate they will continue
to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and its negative effects on global economic conditions. Any recovery from the COVID-19
pandemic and related economic impact may also be slowed or reversed by a variety of factors, such as any increase in COVID-19 infections.
Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts to our business as a result of its national
and, to some extent, global economic impact, including the current recession and any recession that may occur in the future.
The
success of our business depends on our global operations, including our supply chain and consumer demand, among other things. As a result
of COVID-19, we have experienced shortages in inventory due to manufacturing issues, a reduction in the volume of sales in some parts
of our business, such as rental sales and direct website sales, and a reduction in personnel due to lockdown related issues. Our results
of operations for years ended December 31, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020, reflect this impact; however, we expect that
this trend may continue, and the full extent of the impact is unknown. In recent months, some governmental agencies in the US and Europe,
where we produce the largest percentage of our sales, have lifted certain restrictions. However, if customer demand continues to be low,
our future equipment sales, subscriber activations and sales margin will be impacted.

Agreement”) with an unrelated third-party for capital raising advisory services and business growth and development services, with

to be issued quarterly until the consultant may receive cash compensation for his services, which will be determined, upon completion

Lease
Agreements
On
December 2, 2021, the Company entered into a 62-month lease for 4,141 square feet of office space for $ 186,345 annually. The rent increases
3 % annually. The space is not available for occupancy until the second quarter of 2022, at which time rent will commence, as well as
adjusting the right of asset and the corresponding operating lease liability to include this lease.
Effective
July 24, 2019, a three-year lease was signed for 2,660 square feet for £ 25,536 annually, for our facilities in Poole, England,
“UK lease”, for £ 2,128 per month, or USD $ 2,926 per month at the yearly average conversion rate of 1.375083 . The Poole
lease will expire July 2022 and we may seek to expand to a larger facility.
The
UK lease does not require any contingent rental payments, impose any financial restrictions, or contain any residual value guarantees.
Variable expenses generally represent the Company’s share of the landlord’s operating expenses. The Company does not have
any leases classified as financing leases.
The
rate implicit to the UK lease is not readily determinable, and we therefore use our incremental borrowing rate to determine the present
value of the lease payments. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate used to determine the initial value of right of use (ROU)
assets and lease liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2021 was 6.00 %, derived from borrowing rate, as obtained from the Company’s
most recent lenders. Right of use assets for operating leases are periodically reduced by impairment losses. We use the long-lived assets
impairment guidance in ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment – Overall, to determine whether an ROU asset is impaired,
and if so, the amount of the impairment loss to recognize. As of December 31, 2021, we have not recognized any impairment losses for
our ROU assets.
We
monitor for events or changes in circumstances that require a reassessment of one of our leases. When a reassessment results in the remeasurement
of a lease liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the corresponding ROU asset unless doing so would
reduce the carrying amount of the ROU asset to an amount less than zero. In that case, the amount of the adjustment that would result
in a negative ROU asset balance is recorded in profit or loss.

Litigation
On
June 22, 2021, Thomas Seifert’s employment as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer was terminated for cause. Mr. Seifert
asserts that the termination was not for cause and that he is owed all compensation payable under his employment agreement executed in
June 2021. The Company’s position is that Mr. Seifert is not owed any additional consideration or compensation relating to his
prior service with the Company or arising under any employment agreement. The Company believes it has adequate defenses to any such claims.
The Company has determined to initiate litigation against Mr. Seifert asserting a number of claims including, but not limited to, rescission
of the employment agreement, fraud in the inducement in connection with the execution of the employment agreement, and breach of the
fiduciary duties of good faith and loyalty. The Company does not expect to seek substantial monetary relief in the litigation.
From
time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of
business. The Company is not currently involved in any pending legal proceeding or litigation, and, to the best of our knowledge, no
governmental authority is contemplating any proceeding to which the Company is a party or to which any of the Company’s properties
is subject, which would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and
operating results.

January
2022 Private Placement of Common Stock
On
December 31, 2021, after markets closed, a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) was circulated to, and
signatures were received from, certain institutional and accredited investors (the “December Investors”) in connection with
the sale in a private placement by the Company of 2,229,950 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “December Offering”).
On January 2, 2022, the Company delivered to December Investors a fully executed Purchase Agreement, which was dated December 31, 2021.
The purchase price for the common stock sold in the December Offering was $ 3.24 per share, the closing transaction price reported by
Nasdaq on December 31, 2021.
The
closing of the December Offering occurred on January 5, 2022. The Company received gross proceeds from the sale of the
common stock in the December Offering of approximately $ 7.2 million. The Company intends
to use the proceeds from the December Offering for general corporate purposes, including potential acquisitions and joint ventures. Approximately
73 % of funds raised in the December Offering were secured from existing shareholders and from the members of the Company’s senior
management and Board of Directors.
In
connection with the December Offering, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the December Investors (the “Registration
Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement
to register for resale the shares of the Company’s common stock sold in the Offering.
The
shares of common stock offered and sold in the December Offering were sold in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by
Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions
of state securities or “blue sky” laws.
The
terms of the transaction disclosed above, including the provisions of the Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement, were
approved by the Board of Directors; and because some of the securities were offered and sold to officers and directors of the Company,
such terms were separately reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

In
connection with Mr. Barreto’s appointment to the Board, the Company executed a Director Services Agreement (the “Director
Agreement”) with Mr. Barreto on January 11, 2022. The Director Agreement has a two -year term (subject to the director’s

half of which will be issued and vest on the day of grant, with the remaining half vesting and being issued on the first anniversary
of the grant date. The Director Agreement also contains customary confidentiality and indemnification provisions and require the Company
to maintain a specified amount of director and officer insurance. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Barreto and
any other person pursuant to which Mr. Barreto was selected as a director
